The sky is cloudless and the sun is clear.
The blue sea is boundless and endless, like a piece of beautiful jade, crystal clear and shiny.
The sunlight shines on the mirror-like sea surface, reflecting flickering light and shadows like golden fish scales.
Suddenly, two sword lights came on the waves, just like two thin and ever-extending silk threads appeared on a beautiful jade.
The two sword lights flew forward all the way until white mist rose from the sea ahead and a strange smell filled the air, and then the sword lights stopped.
The sword light faded, and two figures appeared.
"Is that the place ahead that Master Qi Guan mentioned?"
Lu Qingshan, wearing a black gilded dragon-patterned sect leader robe, looked ahead, his white hair fluttering slightly, flowing and ethereal, making him look like a banished immortal from a biographical novel.
Another figure appeared in the sword light. Chu Mushen, who was standing side by side with Lu Qingshan, nodded slightly and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
Lu Qingshan took a step forward without hesitation.
One step and the world is just around the corner. The next moment he had stepped into the white mist and disappeared.
…
There is still a sea in the white fog.
A completely different sea.
One after another, purple bamboo takes root in the sea below.
Each purple bamboo is extremely lush and thick.
They are rooted in the sea water and grow upwards to a height of thousands of feet.
Looking around, it was a sea of ​​purple, as if there were countless purple-gold pillars standing.
Most importantly, the leaves of these purple bamboos are sparkling and emitting white mist.
The white mist spread and evaporated, gathering at the edge of the boundless purple bamboo forest, forming a white mist isolation zone similar to a protective shield.
This layer of white fog has a mysterious power that can isolate everything.
With Lu Qingshan’s current level of spiritual power, his mind can travel thousands of miles.
But now, when I touched the white mist, it seemed like I encountered an obstacle and could not move forward any further.
"Is this the Land of Absolute Heaven?" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but ask, "It's really magical."
The blue sea and purple bamboo forest are endless, even covering the Tianhe Sea to form a purple sea of ​​its own. The scene is majestic and magnificent, and the spiritual energy is spreading.
“It is not easy to form such a magnificent purple bamboo forest. After the heavenly calamity, I’m afraid there will only be a few bamboos left.” Lu Qingshan sighed subconsciously.
"The place where you will cross the tribulation is not here. Follow me." Chu Mushen glanced at Lu Qingshan and said lightly. Then he moved and led the way in front.
Lu Qingshan was not embarrassed and hurried to follow.
After passing through a vast purple bamboo forest, Lu Qingshan came to the depths of the forest and saw a piece of land.
"This is the place where you will transcend your tribulation ." Chu Mushen said.
Lu Qingshan looked around.
This is a huge island. What’s strange is that there are large tracts of purple bamboo growing all around the island, which are full of vitality and spiritual energy.
But there is no grass growing on the island, the yellow land is barren, and the spiritual energy is almost exhausted.
Such a contrast is really surprising.
Chu Mushen saw through Lu Qingshan's confusion and started to introduce: "There used to be a bitter bamboo growing on this island. The purple bamboo forest you see was all nurtured and differentiated from this bitter bamboo."
"Bitter bamboo is born with extraordinary spiritual roots. It has grown for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, constantly absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy and the essence of , gradually gaining spirituality, and finally ushered in the test of heavenly tribulation."
"A spiritual bamboo of this level would bring about an extraordinary heavenly tribulation. Unfortunately, it failed to survive the tribulation and was completely annihilated and turned into dust, leaving no trace. Everything on the island was also destroyed by the heavenly tribulation, becoming what you see now, with only the purple bamboo forest that it nurtured remaining."
"If that's the case, this place should be considered a 'haunted house'," Lu Qingshan said with a smile, "Master Qi chose this place for me to transcend the tribulation, which doesn't seem like a good idea."
The more critical the moment became, the more relaxed Lu Qingshan became, and he even had the leisure to laugh at himself.
But what he said was true. Kuzhu failed to survive the tribulation on this island, and now Lu Qingshan chose to survive the tribulation here again, which was more or less unlucky.
"According to him, this is called good times after bad times." Chu Mushen was silent with a blank expression.
This is exactly what Qi Butian would say.
Although, in Lu Qingshan's view, the theory of luck and feng shui is something that exists if you believe in it, and does not exist if you don't believe in it.
If there is nothing wrong, there will be no harm in believing it.
But when it really comes to the critical moment, Lu Qingshan would rather believe in his sword than in these invisible and intangible things.
…
"Then I'll go?" Lu Qingshan said.
"Go ahead." Chu Mushen nodded.
From now on, he will no longer travel with Lu Qingshan, but will only watch the disaster from a distance and protect Lu Qingshan at the same time.
Even as a half-ancestor, he did not want to be implicated by Lu Qingshan's heavenly tribulation.
Lu Qingshan took another step and rushed into the deserted island in front of him until he reached the center of the island.
Then he saw an indescribably huge pit.
Lu Qingshan understood that this should be the place where bitter bamboo once grew, and it was blasted into what it looked like before it by the heavenly calamity.
Just from this dilapidated scene, one can imagine how vigorous the spirituality of the bitter bamboo was back then. It must have been glorious and glorious. Unfortunately, it all became empty under the heavenly calamity.
This is Kuzhu's ending, but it is definitely not his ending.
Lu Qingshan looked up at the sky, his handsome face was calm.
He knew that today's nine-nine heavenly tribulation was not only related to his life and death, but also had extraordinary significance.
He had reasons to succeed.
Lu Qingshan looked up at the sky, and a hint of anticipation slowly appeared in his eyes.
There is no doubt that the nine-nine heavenly tribulations will be his last test before he becomes a sword immortal.
Once the Nine Tribulations are completed, he will be not far from becoming a Sword Immortal.
Whether it will be successful will be revealed today.
Once you take this step, the world will be yours.
"Come on, then."
The first effort is strong, the second is weaker, and the third is exhausted.
Lu Qingshan didn't want to waste any more time and made a choice immediately.
"Your experience points have been consumed by 28.459 billion. You will face a calamity. This calamity is: Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations. Please be prepared to survive it!"
"Please note that the difficulty of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, as a limit-breaking heavenly tribulation, will also exceed the upper limit!"
"Are you sure you should be robbed?"
In his pupils, a row of tiny fiery characters flashed down.
"It's a disaster."
Lu Qingshan's figure was suspended high above the sky, his black gilded robe fluttering, his white hair flying, his skin crystal clear and moist, with an air of pride.
The magic power in his dantian was like a real dragon, rushing through his meridians one after another, surging like a tide.
There were even sounds of dragon roars and tiger roars coming from Lu Qingshan's body, resounding throughout the sky and the earth.
If others had not seen this scene with their own eyes, they would never be able to imagine or believe it.
The surge of magic power alone can cause the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling. How powerful is this person's magic power?
Above Lu Qingshan's head, ripples appeared in the sky.
The ripples swept across the eight directions with tremendous force. In an instant, they covered the entire sky, carrying a deep sense of locking, like an invisible cage, trapping Lu Qingshan.
The ripples contained layers of Taoist meaning. Even a figure like Chu Mushen would have his mind slightly shaken when the ripples passed by him.
His expression changed slightly, and he looked up at the source of the ripples in the sky - Lu Qingshan.
An indescribable pressure appeared in this world at this moment.
It was clearly a bright day with not a single cloud in the sky just now, but just a moment later, darkness gradually filled the sky.
The light in the sky has dimmed.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing, making people feel almost suffocated.
Quiet, absolutely quiet, even the wind has stopped.
Without the seal, the rustling sound of the bamboo leaves being rustled disappeared.
The deathly silence seemed like a precursor to the arrival of some prehistoric beast.
There was a loud bang.
Without warning, a thunderclap sounded from high in the sky, breaking the absolute silence.
This is the real thunder.
The thunder rises from the sky, coming from the disaster clouds.
The black clouds of disaster had quietly filled every inch of the sky within sight.
There was a deep purple sky thunder that roamed like a dragon in the black silk clouds.
Thunder roared and purple lightning flashed.
People often use the phrase "as deafening as thunder" to describe how loud a sound is.
At this moment, what words can best describe the thundering sound at this moment?
It was as if countless immortals were shouting in anger.
The emperor’s wrath resulted in millions of floating corpses and blood flowing for thousands of miles.
The common people were so angry that blood flowed for five steps, and the whole world was in mourning.
The gods were furious, but only because of one person.
Lu Qingshan looked up at the sky.
Those streaks of purple lightning wandered in the clouds, like ferocious thunder dragons swimming in the sea.
Lightning and thunder.
Under the sky full of calamity clouds, Lu Qingshan stood still, with magical power surrounding his body.
With all his energy and spirit gathered in one, he burst out with powerful momentum. Divine light lingered all over his body, even his hairs were glowing, shining brightly in the darkness.
boom!
At this moment, a wave of five-colored lightning fell from the sky and struck Lu Qingshan, as if it could not stand his current extraordinary appearance and wanted to teach him a lesson.
The sky seemed to have been blasted with a hole and a crack by this wave of thunder.
Thunder is about to fall.
The catastrophe has arrived!
…
Lu Qingshan didn't care about the so-called rules at all, nor did he care what level the heavenly tribulation was. He picked up his sword and leaped towards the rolling thunder, swinging his sword.
Just like facing a vulnerable enemy, he used one sword to directly shatter the wave of five-colored thunder that was enough to change color of countless cultivators.
boom!
Just a prelude.
The heavenly tribulation did not react to Lu Qingshan's "disrespect", but just sent down the second wave of lightning as planned.
The second wave of thunder and lightning was still five-colored thunder, but it was no longer single-colored. It was like a pool of thunder falling.
The increase in power from the first wave of thunder to the second wave of thunder is beyond common sense.
It is hard to imagine. If the power of each wave of thunder increases in this way, to what extent will the thunder be horrible in the end?
Endless thunder and lightning submerged Lu Qingshan's figure.
The five colors flashed between heaven and earth, forming a vast ocean of thunder and lightning. It was extremely terrifying, able to shatter everything, and was extremely intense.
Boom!
The thunder was so loud that it could almost pierce a person's eardrum and shatter his soul. It was so vast and unparalleled.
The remaining scattered thunder was like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky, destroying the already dilapidated and lifeless island below even more miserably.
One can imagine how terrifying the center of this wave of thunder will be. It represents the will of heaven and earth and can wipe out all living things.
Lu Qingshan was in the center of the thunder pool.
A purple-gold field spread out around him.
Sword domain.
Sword energy gushed out in the sword domain, fighting against the thunder and lightning.
Boom!
Before one crisis is over, another crisis arises.
This wave of thunder had just landed when another wave of thunder struck from the sky. It was extremely fierce and did not follow any common sense at all.
The heaven and earth shook, and the thunder of ten thousand feet penetrated the sky and the earth.
The peach blossoms floated up and down, hanging above Lu Qingshan's head, experiencing the thunder tribulation with him, and were struck by the thunder, leaving lines on them.
tempered into a steel.
This nine-nine heavenly tribulation is not only the most important step for Lu Qingshan to make the leap to the dragon gate, but will also be an important test for Taohua to lay the foundation for the sword of Taoism.
boom!
The third wave of thunder had just merged with the second wave when the fourth wave of thunder arrived.
There were thousands of lightning bolts, and it was no longer a pool of thunder, but a sea of ​​thunder.
Endless thunder and lightning, blazing lightning, made the dim light of heaven and earth return again, as bright as day, dazzling and brilliant.
It's like an endless five-colored flame burning.
Under the power of heaven and earth, Lu Qingshan's figure was like a floating duckweed.
But even if he is just duckweed, what can heaven and earth do to him?
Lu Qingshan bent his knees slightly and pointed the tip of the Lieque sword in his right hand straight to the sky.
He said in a deep voice: "Broken River."
When Li Qiu was defeated on the Lancang River, he cut the Lancang River in half with one finger.
The gap is five hundred feet long.
As long as the sword's will remains, the Lancang River will not close.
When Lu Qingshan saw this sword, he realized that one can use stones from other mountains to polish jade, and that the spring breeze can return.
And today, what Lu Qingshan wants to do is to replicate it.
Replicate Li Qiubai's sword that cuts off the river, replicate the spirit of Li Qiubai's sword that can rival an entire country.
Thunder pool covered thunder pool, forming a sea of ​​thunder, which was like a raging flood crashing towards them.
Lu Qingshan chopped it open with his sword.
The five-colored thunder tide split into two. Although the gap between them was only five feet, it just happened to rush through the left and right sides of Lu Qingshan, flowing through the sky and earth under Lu Qingshan's feet and quickly dissipated.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It seemed like an immortal in the sky was scolding, saying it was just a trivial trick!
Then, thunder sounded, and a new wave of thunder rushed down like thousands of troops, even more powerful.
This time the color of the thunder is no longer five colors, but black and white.
Previously it was the thunder of the five elements, but now it is the more terrifying Yin and Yang thunder with a higher level of power.
Moreover, there is no so-called layering.
The calamity cloud seemed angry, and poured down all the yin and yang calamity thunders in one breath.
There were thousands of lightning bolts, and black and white became the only colors in the world.
It was as if when the world was first created, there was a hole in the sky, and the yin and yang thunder poured down like a stream, descending upon the earth.
"The heaven and earth are the furnace, and nature is the craftsman; yin and yang are the charcoal, and all things are the copper."
Lu Qingshan chanted softly, took a step forward, raised Lieque, and the sword energy flowed continuously, drawing a full moon.
The moon wheel was like a tray, holding up the Yin-Yang thunder.
The thunder continued to strike, and Lu Qingshan's figure, which was hanging high in the sky, fell down an unknown number of feet under the tremendous force of the thunder.
But even if his body continued to fall, even if the yin and yang thunder filled the world, the small area under the moon was a pure land, immune to all disasters.
The Yin and Yang thunder that poured down like a waterfall washed over the moon and could only bounce away helplessly, just like the water that spreads out after a broken water tank.
Bang!
Lu Qingshan, who was falling all the way from a high altitude, finally landed on the ground. The huge impact force caused him to sink nearly a hundred feet deeper into the huge pit which was already a thousand feet deep.
The Yin-Yang thunder that was flowing out flowed in all directions, and after drilling into the ground, it exploded rapidly, turning into thousands of thin threads of lightning, piercing towards Lu Qingshan in a disorderly manner.
Besieged on all sides.
Ambush from all sides.
Thousands of arrows pierced my heart.
"Sword World!"
Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up, and the purple-gold sword domain blossomed like a purple-gold lotus, bursting out with countless sword energies.
Every ray of sword energy accurately seeks out a ray of lightning.
However, the thunder in the sky is endless, but the human energy on earth will eventually run out.
The magnificent sword energy that the sword domain gave birth to was as powerful as a rainbow. It was completed in one breath, and with the force of swallowing thousands of miles, it shattered countless yin and yang thunders. However, the thunder was still roaring, with no sign of stopping, and continued to pierce Lu Qingshan.
The magnificent sword energy, which was originally equally magnificent, has turned from a big river into a small stream after such consumption, flowing around Lu Qingshan's body, barely resisting the invasion of the thunder.
"The sky is your territory, but this is underground." Lu Qingshan, who seemed to be in danger, stretched out his left hand, and a mysterious Taoist seal was shining in his hand.
The Way of Mountains and Seas!
The powerful force surged from the surrounding earth and gathered in Lu Qingshan's body, adding new strength to him.
Subsequently, the earth's crust cracked, and the scattered Yin and Yang thunders had no place to hide anymore. They appeared one after another, showing their sharp edges and ferocious and brutal appearance.
At this moment, the power of mountains and seas and magic power in Lu Qingshan's body were boiling and combining, becoming deeper, more restrained, condensed and pure.
He remained silent, his back arched like a mountain, like a blazing volcano about to erupt.
Lu Qingshan's legs were full of strength. He kicked hard on the ground, bringing a huge force.
The inferior overcomes the superior.
With this power, Lu Qingshan faced the Yin-Yang thunder that kept pouring down, and his figure rose into the air again, leaving only a huge black hole-like pit in its place.
In an instant, the Yin and Yang thunder surged down from his side, but it could not stop him.
One sword split the sky six thousand feet apart.
When Lu Qingshan's figure stood again at an altitude of six thousand feet, the Yin-Yang thunder that was powerful enough to destroy the world suddenly collapsed.
…
Rumble rumble!
Suddenly, amid the roar of thunder, there were discordant sounds of breaking through the air coming from the sky.
Immediately, dozens of demonic figures emitting monstrous demonic energy broke through the waves from outside the purple bamboo forest.
Along with it, there is also a murderous aura that roars like a raging flood.
call!
There was a strong gale, and the sound of breaking wind was whistling. Soon, it appeared outside the isolated island, stopped, and revealed its true appearance.
Luohu was at the head, and beside him were twelve supreme demon lords from various tribes, all of whom were the rulers of the Holy Demon Tribe.
An absolutely luxurious lineup.
Facing such an enemy, is there anyone else in the world who can really be his enemy except Xia Daozu?
Luohou appeared. He first looked across the sea at the scene of destruction on the island, with the corners of his mouth raised high, with an arc so big that it seemed as if it would split at the next moment. The evil and weirdness of his smile was indescribable.
"How can man conquer nature?"
"Heaven cannot tolerate him. No matter how much he resists, it will be in vain. Do you think he is pitiful?"
Afterwards, Luohou no longer went to Lu Qingshan on the isolated island, who in his opinion was doomed to die, and instead said to Chu Mushen who was hanging outside the island and blocking their way.
The tone was calm yet superior.
The twelve demon lords gathered beside him and looked at each other.
They could feel the horror of the nine-nine heavenly tribulations that Lu Qingshan had to endure.
But the scene we see now clearly shows that Lu Qingshan is not powerless to resist. I don’t know why Luohou dares to make such a decisive judgment.
"Are you very surprised to see us?" Luohou asked with a smile, and it was unclear whether it was a sincere question or sarcasm.
Chu Mushen nodded, not hiding his surprise.
"I'm not surprised that you knew Lu Qingshan was going to undergo a tribulation. It's even normal for me to know that he would undergo a tribulation in the Tianhe Sea. But the Tianhe Sea is so vast, and you were able to find him so accurately. You're really amazing."
“Except Qi Butian and I, no one else in the human race knows about this place. When we left the city, Qi Butian had already used his divine magic to erase the secrets for the two of us. This is a place without a doubt. Although the scene of Lu Qingshan’s tribulation is spectacular, there will be no news of it being leaked to the outside world. Therefore, there should be no possibility of our whereabouts being leaked.” Chu Mushen was stating a situation that should have been a fact.
"The net of heaven is vast and wide, nothing can escape it." Luo Hou laughed again. He had obviously calculated against Chu Mushen, which made even a figure like him unable to contain his pride and began to show off:
"You have indeed covered the eyes of the sky, but you have forgotten that there is another pair of eyes watching you!"
Chu Mushen was silent for a moment, then lowered his head.
Under your feet.
Sky, river and sea.
"It's this one." he said.
If you endure the tribulation on the Tianhe Sea, you will never escape the eyes of the Tianhe Sea.
But neither Qi Butian nor Chu Mushen had expected that the Tianhe Sea, which should have remained absolutely neutral, would actually lean towards the demons.
Therefore, the operation that should have been flawless had a fatal flaw.
"Tianhehai has had conflicts with Lu Qingshan for a long time, and it has reasons to target Lu Qingshan," Luohou said to himself, "Of course, this is only a secondary reason."
"I promised it that as long as it stands on our side, after we take down Cangqiongtian, I will do my best to help it transform and make it a true spirit of Tianhe." He and Tianhehai had some more secret communications, which Luohou did not say.
But what he said at the moment was enough.
For the spirits of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas like the Tianhe Hailing who have almost no emotions, only transformation can impress them.
"It is indeed a condition that cannot be refused." Chu Mushen said, and did not ask Luohou how he could make Tianhehai transform successfully.
Tianhehai doesn't have many emotions, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have brains.
Since Tianhehai were all convinced by Luohou, it means that Luohou was not just making empty promises.
…
The lone island is covered with calamity clouds like a sea.
Thirteen evil demons arrived outside the isolated island.
An ominous sign.
However, Lu Qingshan did not turn around to look at the demon lords outside the island.
He just looked up at the thunder that kept rolling in the calamity clouds, without saying a word.
When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
He has destroyed two major catastrophes.
The heavenly tribulations before the nine-nine heavenly tribulations follow certain rules.
The seventy-nine heavenly tribulations are the seventh-level heavenly tribulations, the eighty-nine heavenly tribulations are the eighth-level heavenly tribulations, and if we go by this logic, the ninety-nine heavenly tribulations should be the ninth-level heavenly tribulation.
But this is only the second heavenly tribulation, and the extreme level of Yin-Yang thunder that only exists in classics has already appeared. What will the specifications of the ninth heavenly tribulation be?
It is impossible for there to be a tribulation thunder in the world that is seven levels higher than the Yin-Yang Tribulation Thunder.
Lu Qingshan was extremely sure of this.
At this moment, the calamity clouds suddenly split apart, solving Lu Qingshan's puzzle.
A lightning shadow condensed and flashed, transforming into a huge human figure.
Its face is as blue as indigo, its hair is like cinnabar, its eyes are bright and sharp, its fangs protrude from its lips, it has a thunder god's mouth, and two wings of wind and thunder grow from its back ribs. It holds a wedge in its left hand and a hammer in its right hand.
This is exactly the appearance of Lei Gong in mythology and legend!
The new wave of heavenly tribulations is no longer thunder, but living beings formed by the interweaving power of thunder and lightning, representing the will of heaven.
At this time, Lei Gong looked down at Lu Qingshan, his expression filled with anger.
Lu Qingshan was not angry at the pressure and anger released by Lei Gong. Instead, he raised his head and smiled, as if he was meeting an old friend.
An old friend indeed.
In just over ten years, this was his ninth heavenly tribulation.
As for anger, he had seen it on the faces of too many enemies.
Anger doesn't mean anything. It only proves that he threatened them.
The way of heaven has actually been threatened by him.
So, why should Lu Qingshan be angry?
Above the nine heavens, Thunder God stared at Lu Qingshan with three cold and sharp eyes. His expression suddenly turned cold and he struck Lu Qingshan with a wedge.
Electricity is generated from the void.
In an instant, billions of electric currents were generated around Lu Qingshan's body, like thousands of slender little snakes swimming all over his body, penetrating every pore and piercing through his body and soul.
It was an indescribable pain.
Lu Qingshan was trembling all over. He pursed his lips and clenched his teeth, but blood still seeped out from between his teeth and his mouth was full of blood.
"An attack that cannot be exempted."
Lu Qingshan instantly understood the horror of this Thunder God.
This is a lightning attack that cannot be avoided. It goes straight to the soul, grinding the soul with intense pain until the person undergoing the tribulation can no longer bear it and his soul is destroyed.
There seems to be only one way to survive this wave of calamity.
boil.
However, is this really the case?
Lu Qingshan tightly grasped the sword of Lieque in his hand, raised his head suddenly and looked at the almighty Lei Gong.
If it dissipates, won't the lightning attack also dissipate with it?
…
Outside the island, the sudden appearance of Lei Gong made Luohou look sideways with a serious expression and cautious eyes.
"It is worthy of being called the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations."
Even he did not dare to step into the range of the heavenly tribulation, otherwise the tribulation would affect him.
Fortunately, their target this time was not Lu Qingshan.
Otherwise, given Lu Qingshan's "evil deeds" of forcing people to survive the tribulation twice in a row, he really felt unsure.
"Evil needs evil to punish evil, let's leave Lu Qingshan to the torture of the heavenly tribulation."
Luohou took a last look at Lu Qingshan who was suffering unspeakable pain.
Then, he looked at Chu Mushen and licked his lips at him, "Chu Mushen, if we kill you today, will this second war between Taoism and Demons be over before it even begins?"
"Hehehehe!" Upon hearing this, the twelve supreme demon lords beside Luohou all looked at Chu Mushen with ill intentions, as if they were looking at fish on a chopping board, with murderous intent flashing in their eyes.
Chu Mushen just smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"Sword coming."
This was his answer.
With a clang, the long sword came out of the "sheath" and appeared in Chu Mushen's hand.
It was an ancient bronze sword.
The sword body was glowing with a strange glow, with the sun, moon, and stars engraved on one side, and mountains, rivers, and plants on the other.
The sun, the moon, and the stars are the sky; the mountains, rivers, and grass are the earth.
With a sword in hand, who says the world is wide?
