Chapter 718: Mending the Sky
Just like Master Bai once said in Guocheng Temple, this world is not absolutely natural.
For example, the three great whirlpools in the sea are extremely difficult to explain from the perspective of natural laws.
Countless seawater cascading down from the vortex, going to the bottom of the foreign continent and the ice sheet in the far north through the channel of heaven and earth?
Even from the simplest point of view, there are problems.
Is the so-called passage between heaven and earth really naturally generated by heaven and earth?
These questions don't need to be answered now, the problem that Jing Jiu needs to solve now is how to block the passage from the sea to the underworld.
Master Taiping forcibly changed the passageway between heaven and earth with the Blood Demon Sect's Heaven-reaching Killing Formation, and Master Bai reinforced the Heaven-reaching Killing Formation with the real body of the Ten-Fair Demon-Subduing Tower, directly turning the seawater's passage into the underworld into a huge hole. Even the giant has nothing to do at this time, because there is too much sea water pouring into the underworld, no matter how much he fills it, it will be washed away. Practitioners can't resist the mighty power of heaven and earth even if they move the mountain gate formation into the maelstrom. Unless one can think of some way to slow down the speed of seawater cascading down, it is possible to make remedies on this basis. It's like a big river bursting its banks. To stop that breach, you first have to find a way to slow down the flood.
What is Jing Jiu going to do?
A sword light illuminated the huge waterfall formed by endless sea water.
The sea water was mixed with blood and sand from the bottom of the sea and the distance. The waterfall looked extremely turbid, but it was still illuminated and even penetrated by the sword light.
The sword light flew quickly between the sea and the sky, it was difficult to determine the specific direction, and there was no pattern. Sometimes it penetrated into the sand on the bottom of the sea, leaving countless small holes, sometimes it entered the bottom of the whirlpool, and even reached the sky of the underworld. Sometimes it even seemed to appear in several places at the same time.
Countless bubbles were born in the sea water, which looked like white lines.
Those white lines were weak, but exuded an extremely pure and condensed sword intent.
As the sword light traveled, those sword intents became more and more dense, and after the bubbles dissipated, they still stayed between the sky and the sea, between the world and the underworld.
The falling seawater met those sword intents and naturally separated, turning into transparent seawater blocks, colliding and rubbing against each other, causing more foam to appear, and the falling momentum slowed down a little.
But it is still far from enough to reach the foundation of reclamation.
The hard rocks on the bottom of the sea covered by sand were shattered by the sword light, and fell into the maelstrom with the sea water, like feathers, unable to stay for a moment at all.
As a result, the sword light became faster and faster, and within a few breaths, it could circle the maelstrom countless times, and go back and forth between the sea surface and the sky of the underworld more than ten times.
The invisible lines formed by those sword intents became denser and denser, gradually becoming a net, and the mesh became smaller and smaller, and the suction between the sword intents was finally able to catch some sea water.
However, as the falling speed of the sea water slowed down, the weight of the net woven by the sword intent became heavier and heavier, and it became more difficult for the sword light to maintain the current high speed.
The giant stood outside the maelstrom, looking at the sword light that seemed to be pulling countless weights, his simple and honest face was full of worry.
With a soft rubbing sound, the sword light skimmed over the cliff beside the maelstrom, bringing down some gravel, and the flight trace was obviously out of control.
The giant couldn't control it anymore, and called Aga.
Shouts like thunder overwhelmed the sound of the waterfalls of the sea.
That was to persuade Jing Jiu to give up.
...
...
In one day and one night, Jing Jiu did too many things.
In the battle against Immortal Taiping in Yinfeng, he used Xijianxi as a whip to trap Immortal Bairen, and fought the final battle with Immortal Bai who was holding an immortal talisman.
From the underworld to the human world, that sword light can be seen everywhere.
He was exhausted to the extreme and badly injured.
In such a situation, if he still wanted to block the entire sea with his sword intent, something would really happen.
No matter how abundant his sword energy is, and even the immortal energy that Sanyue gave him, I'm afraid it will be exhausted.
What will happen to him then?
...
...
The sword light didn't stop.
Jing Jiu seemed to have not heard the giant friend's call, and continued walking in silence.
After being attacked by Master Bai and Emperor Xiao in the Tianshou Mountain Mausoleum, his sword light became a little unstable. At this time, he was carrying the weight of the entire sea, and he flew crookedly, bumping into certain places from time to time, looking like he was drunk, giving people a feeling of staggering.
But no matter how ugly it was, he continued to fly, and continued to spread his sword array, trying to block the sea that fell into the underworld.
The giant looked at the slower and more unstable sword light, his eyes became more and more worried, and he was still puzzled.
——You shouldn’t be such a person!
The thick old tree kept changing between his hands.
Several times he almost picked up the ancient tree and threw it at the sword light, trying to stop Jing Jiu, but in the end he didn't move.
The sea water was pierced hundreds of thousands of times, and thousands of pieces of gravel were cut off from the bottom of the cliff. I don't know how long it took until the sun set and the sea water was illuminated red and warm, like blood, the sword light finally stopped.
Jing Jiu stood on a cloud in the deepest part of the twilight, looking towards the sea.
His complexion was extremely pale, no matter whether it was paper or the snow in Baicheng, it was indescribable, but it was not easy to see it was illuminated by the setting sun.
The sea in the maelstrom has calmed down a lot, and there are still a lot of sea monsters pouring down towards the underworld, but they are not as violent as before.
The net woven by the invisible sword intent encircled an unimaginable amount of sea water.
If someone looks at the sky from the underworld at this time, they may be able to see an extremely huge, blue water ball.
This is a magical scene.
It's a magical thing.
The giant looked at Jing Jiu on the cloud, his eyes full of admiration.
This is not the end. There are still many things to do to completely block the passage of the sea into the underworld.
But now he has to complete one thing first, and that is to find a way to tie this invisible huge sword net between heaven and earth.
Otherwise, the sea water will rush into the underworld with the sword net.
The huge invisible sword net is woven by the sword intent, and the sword intent is the thread.
At the end of that thread was a very thin sword intent, which was currently wrapped around the little finger of his right hand.
That is to say, the weight of countless seawater in this sword net is being lifted by him.
He couldn't keep carrying such a heavy thing until the people from Chaotian Continent rushed over.
In fact, he couldn't last much longer.
The extremely thin sword intent had penetrated deeply into the little finger of his right hand, even tore through the skin and flesh, and even part of the phalanx was split.
The only thing that can compete with everything is its sword intent.
It is also for this reason that he has no way to tie this sword intent to the rocks on the seabed.
Those rocks will be chopped into pieces when they meet his sword intent.
At this time, he needs to find a slightly thicker thread to connect this huge sword net with the sky and the earth.
The question is what kind of thread can withstand the sword intent of Wanwu Yijian?
...
...
One drink and one peck, could it be predetermined.
Everything in the world has a cause and effect.
Of course, you can also say that this is all a coincidence.
Jing Jiu happened to know that there is such a thread that can withstand the sword intent of Wanwu's sword, and it is extremely tough.
And he didn't need to leave the sea to find the thread.
The twilight is getting thicker and thicker, really like blood.
He stretched out the index finger of his left hand and landed on his waist.
Where the fingertip landed, blood overflowed, the skin was cut open, and the flesh and blood were separated, revealing jade-like white bones.
There are faint foreign objects in those bones, like some kind of thread.
Jing Jiu picked out those white lines with his fingertips, and connected them with the sword intent on the little finger of his left hand.
...
...
More than a hundred years ago, Lian Sanyue attacked the Sword God of the West Sea at the bottom of the West Sea.
At that time, she hadn't recovered her original realm and strength, but instead fell into the Xihai Sword God and was seriously injured by a sword.
Jing Jiu led her to escape from the bottom of the sea, and was also hit by the sword of Xihai Sword God with all his strength. His injuries were even worse, and his whole body was almost broken in two.
On the beach full of tree shadows and starlight, he used the cosmic edge as a needle and the three-month silk as a thread to sew up the vertebrae and internal organs.
Silk has existed in his body for more than a hundred years in those days today.
This is the cause and effect that goes deep into the bone marrow.
Those heavenly silks co-existed with his sword intent for a hundred years, of course they will not be damaged by the sword intent, and they have been cultivated for a hundred years, and the degree of tenacity is even more unimaginable.
With a loud bang, the ancient tree that had been soaked in the sea for countless years was inserted into the hard seabed by the giant with all its strength.
The sword light moved around the tree.
Jing Jiu had wound the silk silk around the ancient tree countless times, and now he only needed to tie a knot at the end.
He hit a peach blossom.
There is a peach tree in front of Shuiyue Temple.
Many years ago, when Lian Sanyue fell asleep, he went to visit.
Picked a flower from a peach tree and put it next to her face.
Later in Chaoge City, Lian Sanyue put the peach blossom on her temples, it looked very nice.
Today, this peach blossom made of celestial silk floats gently in the sea, which is also very beautiful.
Jing Jiu looked at the peach blossom and was silent for a while.
Then he passed out and floated limply in the sea.
A shadow covered the twilight and broke through the water.
The giant was going to scoop him up from the bottom of the sea with his hands.
A bloody sword light appeared.
Zhao Layue held him in her arms.
The severely damaged Forth Sword slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
