Volume 12 is missing Chapter 53: Fish Leaping into the Sea

Thousands of miles high in the sky.

This altitude is beyond the clouds and is a place where there is no human habitation.

However, even in this extremely dangerous place, a huge monster passed by in the clouds today.

Immortal whale.

Although it is a fish, it can also be a bird and has the ability to migrate in the blue sky.

Wherever it passed, the air and clouds formed tornadoes, which appeared behind it like waves, rolling and moving, layer upon layer.

Even though the Immortal Whale is huge and boundless, at this altitude, looking up from the ground, you can see nothing but clouds and sky.

Because the Immortal Whale is already "swimming" above the clouds, taking the clouds as water.

Lu Qingshan sat cross-legged at the center of the longevity whale's eyebrows, between its golden eyes, and pointed the way for it.

…

Starting from the desolate land of Qingqiu and traveling for nearly half a day, the Longevity Whale finally stopped at Lu Qingshan's signal.

Lu Qingshan flew up on his sword and then dropped vertically.

Below is a valley hidden in the mountains, flat but deep.

There were already people waiting here.

He is tall, wearing a gray robe, and has black and white hair.

Together they patch up the sky.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Qi Butian looked at Lu Qingshan and said.

"Master Qi." Lu Qingshan clasped his fists and saluted.

Qi Butian nodded slightly to Lu Qingshan, then slightly turned his body to reveal a magic circle behind him.

A huge magic circle.

This is a cross-domain teleportation array established by Tianji Temple in the southern region.

The importance of the cross-domain teleportation array has been fully demonstrated in the battle of Zhongling.

Obviously, the Taoist monks would not realize the importance of the cross-domain teleportation array until this moment, and would not easily give others an advantage.

Therefore, in addition to those teleportation arrays that belong to Daxia and are located in the capitals of various states, the major Taoist sects have also privately arranged teleportation arrays leading to the other six domains, hidden in the dark, in case of emergency.

These cross-domain teleportation arrays have a distinct characteristic, which is that they are extremely concealed.

For example, the one in front of you.

"I have already transferred all the people who were originally guarding here." Qi Butian said.

"Thank you, Master Qi."

"The Immortal Whale is above?" Qi Butian pointed above his head.

Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "Its size is too huge. Apart from the sea and the sky, there are few places in the world that can support it. It can only wait in the sky."

The size of the Immortal Whale is comparable to that of a state. It is almost impossible for it to land on land - it would be like a mountain falling, with the power to destroy the world.

"It is worthy of being a legendary spiritual beast." Qi Butian sighed.

Even he had never seen a longevity whale before and only saw a few records of it in ancient books.

This is an extremely rare, powerful and low-key spiritual beast.

The immortal whale in front of us is very likely one of the only two immortal whales in the world.

"Let's start then?" Qi Butian asked Lu Qingshan for his opinion.

Lu Qingshan did not comment and nodded slightly.

Qi Butian no longer hesitated and looked up suddenly.

In an instant, all his hair began to dance wildly without wind.

It was at this moment that the cross-domain teleportation array behind Qi Butian suddenly flashed with brilliant golden light.

These rays of light moved rapidly along the patterns of the transmission array itself and spread outward.

In just a few breaths, not only did the cross-domain teleportation array appear, but the entire valley's ground was shining with golden veins.

At this time, Qi Butian put two fingers together and brushed them between his eyebrows, and suddenly a bright light filled the space between his fingers.

Then, he pressed his fingers downward, and spiritual light shot out and merged into the ground of the valley.

It was like a heavy object dropped from the sky, and all the gravel and dust on the ground were shaken upwards.

At this moment, the veins originally engraved on the ground seemed to be activated by the influence of spiritual light.

They jolted upwards, broke away from the ground, and began to float upwards.

The height extended from Qi Butian's feet and waist all the way up to hanging above his head, forming a gorgeous formation diagram shining with golden light, which was full of flowing light and mysterious and complex.

Immediately, Qi Butian stomped his feet on the ground and his body soared into the air at an extremely fast speed.

And the huge formation diagram hanging above his head, as big as a valley, also rose along with Qi Butian's body, always remaining hanging above his head.

Soaring to the top.

Qi Butian carried the formation diagram all the way up to a height of ten thousand miles and arrived at this place without any clouds.

The clouds were all painted golden by the formation.

Qi Butian finally saw the true appearance of the Immortal Whale.

It was shaped like a giant bird, covering the sky and the earth, like a land in the sky, quietly floating in front of him. It was also like a cloud hanging from the sky, with a back width of tens of thousands of miles.

At first glance, there is no end in sight, which makes people feel insignificant.

Even Qi Butian, when he saw the Immortal Whale, his eyes narrowed and his heart was shocked to the extreme. His heart seemed to expand and burst, and he felt the endless vastness of the world.

This is the instinctive reaction of humans when they see a huge monster.

But... it was precisely because the size of the Immortal Whale was so huge, so huge that it was beyond common sense, so an unavoidable problem arose:

There will be no teleportation array in the world that can accommodate the passage of the Immortal Whale.

Therefore, if you want to go to Tianhe City, theoretically, there is no suitable "transportation", so the only option left is "walking".

Tianhe City is located on the border of Cangqiongtian.

Even with the help of the teleportation array, it still took Lu Qingshan several days to get from Yumen Pass to Tianhe City.

Relying solely on "walking" would be a long march of thousands of miles and is not realistic.

Even if we succeed in reaching Tianhe City, we don’t know when that will happen - the sky is so vast, it’s estimated to be tens of thousands of miles long .

So Lu Qingshan went to find Qi Butian, the most powerful spiritual practitioner of the human race.

…

"Master Qi, it's up to you." Lu Qingshan said with a fist.

Qi Butian's eyes flickered slightly.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Qi Butian still felt tremendous pressure after actually seeing the Immortal Whale.

"I can only send you into the space fault. I can't do anything after that," he asked anxiously. "Although traveling through the space fault is a shortcut, there are still many problems... There is no direction in the space turbulence. If you don't have any special means, you will just get lost. Besides, how to leave the space turbulence will also be a problem."

"I understand, Master Qi, don't worry, I have my own way." Lu Qingshan said affirmatively. He had already solved the problem that Qi Butian mentioned.

Seeing Lu Qingshan so confident, Qi Butian finally stopped saying anything.

No one would joke about their own life.

"Then, let's begin." Qi Butian shouted softly.

The formation diagram plays its role and starts to run.

Spiritual light continuously poured out from Qi Butian's fingers, flowing in an orderly manner between the array patterns of the formation diagram, and was stimulated into special spiritual effects.

A ball of light golden light appeared above the formation diagram and formed a specific vortex shape following the traction of the formation pattern.

It was at this moment that the vortex of golden light above the sky suddenly twisted.

As it twisted, the entire space seemed to melt and suddenly dispersed, like a passage, revealing... a vast and deep space.

"Lu Qingshan, in the entire sky, I'm afraid I'm the only one who can do this." Qi Butian murmured softly and took a step forward.

After taking this step, the aura he exuded was completely different, as if he was transcending the mundane world.

Qi Butian took a deep breath. What he was going to do next was not easy even for him. It required him to do his best and pay a price.

He suddenly raised his right hand, a spiritual light flashed, and a mysterious magic seal flew out of his hand and was imprinted on the formation diagram.

"Heavenly Spiritual Technique: Xun."

Qian means strong, Kun means submissive, Xun means entering, Kan means sinking, Li means beautiful, Gen means stopping, and Dui means speaking.

Xun means entry.

One word, and heaven and earth roar.

The huge body of the Longevity Whale became indistinct, as if it had shrunk countless times, and as if the entrance of the passage had expanded countless times.

In short, the passage is large enough to accommodate the immortal whale.

"Let's go!" Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up and he said to the drum.

Gu trusted Lu Qingshan very much, so he jumped up and flew directly into the passage.

The passage roared as the Immortal Whale moved through it.

Endless space turbulence rushed towards us, splitting the space into billions of horizontal and vertical branches.

The Immortal Whale stopped steadily in the void.

Lu Qingshan was still sitting cross-legged on Gu's brow and couldn't help but look back.

The space channel had already closed, and only endless and deep void could be seen.

Deep and vast.

In the vastness, the immortal whale is galloping and swimming in the turbulence of space.

The raging space cracks and turbulence that swept over the drum's flesh would not cause much damage to it.

However, the Dragon Slaying Island that it originally carried on its back could not withstand such an attack.

Trees were uprooted, the earth cracked, mountains collapsed, and debris flew everywhere, turning into powder if they encountered a spatial turbulence.

Like a doomsday scene.

In this vast turbulence of space, even the immortal whale is as small as a mustard seed, but Gu has a sense of freedom like a fish returning to the sea. He can swim freely without any constraints or worries, and is extremely happy.

"Go there!" Lu Qingshan patted the drum's brow and said to it, pointing it in the direction.

At this moment, a bright spot of light shone brightly in Lu Qingshan's deep and sharp eyes.

The direction he pointed was where the light was.

That is... the peach blossom mark.

[Immortality]: When you activate this magical power and cause damage to the enemy, you can imprint a peach blossom mark on the enemy.

The sword master can sense the location of the peach blossom mark at any distance.

This is Lu Qingshan’s navigation, a navigation that cannot be blocked even in an environment like space turbulence.

There was no wind in the void, but ripples were created in the trajectory of the Immortal Whale's advance.

The vastness swirls and flies away.

Lu Qingshan stood on the back of the immortal whale, concentrating his mind and directing the direction.

He could clearly feel that the distance between him and the Peach Blossom Mark was rapidly shortening.

In the space fault, all distances will be compressed and folded.

A journey that would take dozens of days or even months in the outside world may only take a moment in the space fault.

Traveling through space faults is destined to be the fastest.

However, not many people dare to rashly enter the space fault, because not everyone has clear direction guidance in the space fault, and not everyone has the ability to break through the space boundary and return to the human world.

Fortunately, Lu Qingshan possesses both of these abilities.

…

The vast sky, river and sea.

Suddenly, a golden cloud with wonderful patterns crossed the sky and dropped to the sea horizon, stretching from south to north for countless miles, even blocking out the sun.

Then a long roar that could not be described in words resounded throughout the world.

The golden clouds suddenly fell downwards.

The visual impact was like the sky falling down.

In the Tianhe Sea, a sea monster looked up in surprise. Seeing the golden clouds about to press down, she felt it difficult to breathe and quickly dived downwards.

The golden clouds were getting closer and closer, and finally crashed into the endless sea of the Milky Way.

Huge waves arose in the Tianhe Sea.

Shake the scales and hit the sea, striking the water three thousand miles.

But as soon as it fell into the water, the golden cloud rose up again.

In the blink of an eye, it shrunk by who knows how many times.

It was under such circumstances that the Sirens could barely see the outline of the golden clouds.

It turned out to be a big fish.

An extremely huge fish.

But in the blink of an eye, the big fish quickly grew larger in their sight.

Only then did they realize that what had just happened was just a casual upward jump by the big fish.

It's like a carp happily splashing in the water.

As the big fish fell rapidly, the clouds and wind fell together.
