I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 168 The catastrophe is coming?

Upon hearing that the headmaster of the Zhengyi Sect was visiting, Jiang Wenyu subconsciously turned around and wanted to knock on Lu Wujiu's door again. But before he took two steps, he suddenly had an idea.

——Master, why didn’t you tell me to go into seclusion at this very moment, since you didn’t tell me earlier or later? Could it be that you had already noticed that the Zhengyi Sect wanted to pay you a visit?

After thinking about this, he was about to reject Zhengyi Dao.

Unexpectedly, a jade slip flew out, and at the same time, Lu Wujiu's voice rang out beside his ear: "If it's a commission to refine a spiritual weapon, and you meet the requirements, you can take it. When I come out of seclusion, just hand it over to me."

Jiang Wenyu quickly turned around and bowed in agreement. After taking the jade slip, he scanned it with his spiritual sense and was immediately moved.

Master, you can indeed refine spiritual weapons!

Not long after, the head of the Zhengyi Sect, who was received by Jiang Wenyu, felt a little unhappy. Such treatment was extremely disrespectful.

However, when he heard that Lu Wujiu had already gone into seclusion, he was immediately shocked. Had someone already taken the lead and hired Lu Wujiu to refine a spiritual weapon?
After Jiang Wenyu presented him with the list of equipment to be refined, he could no longer sit still and quickly said goodbye and left to prepare the items on the list and even to start the furnace to make gold.

……

……

"It seems that the appeal of spiritual weapons is much greater than I imagined!"

Looking at the leader of the Zhengyi Sect who was leaving in a hurry, Lu Wujiu, who was also preparing to leave, was full of thoughts in his mind.

He guessed that the news of his successful refining of a spiritual weapon would cause quite a stir.

However, unexpectedly, I still underestimated the influence of spiritual weapons.

It seems that the plan needs to be accelerated!
After thinking about it, he turned into a shadow and walked away.

After leaving Lao Lu Mountain, he threw out an Bagua bronze mirror.

This mirror swells when it feels the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it turns into a square mirror the size of a futon, floating in the air.

He looked around, jumped onto the bronze mirror, sat cross-legged, and injected his magic power into it. The bronze mirror then rose into the air, and rolling white clouds emerged from around it.

After getting familiar with it, Lu Wujiu then controlled the bronze mirror and turned into a stream of light, flying towards the East China Sea.

"It is indeed one of the famous magical instruments of the Shenxiao Sect Master."

Feeling the strong wind brushing across his cheek, Lu Wujiu had a better impression of Master Shenxiao.

The magic weapon presented by the head of Shenxiao is called Dunxun Mirror.

Xun means wind, and as the name suggests, the mirror is a magical tool that can escape the wind. The stronger the wind, the faster the speed and the lower the energy consumption.

Therefore, once it flies into the sky thousands of feet high, its speed is as fast as lightning. It is the auxiliary magic weapon of the Shenxiao Sect that allows one to penetrate deep into the strong wind cloud layer and comprehend the thunder of the nine heavens.

However, in Lu Wujiu's hands, it can be regarded as a treasure for traveling or escaping.

With his dedicated efforts, they arrived at the East China Sea in just half a day.

At this time, he had consumed only 20% of his mana and did not need to rest at all. He simply lowered his flying altitude and searched along the coastline, as if he was looking for some target.

After an unknown amount of time, he stopped.

His eyes fell on a small island.

The island is not big, with rugged rocks and sparse vegetation. It looks uninhabitable, but there are signs of human activities on the coast.

Taking this small island as the center, we explored the surrounding areas and found that there were no large islands or even fishing villages within a radius of 100 miles.

It can be seen that this small island should be a temporary transit station for some fishermen.

He put away the Dunxun Mirror, spread his wings, and landed in mid-air. His spiritual sense swept across the island. Apart from some flying birds, there were no other living creatures on it.

"That's it!"

His mind moved, and his cultivation of the Fire God Dao, which had reached the highest level in the past six decades, began to take effect. He immediately felt the surging fire spring under the island.

With his current level of cultivation, he was simply unable to connect the Flame Spring to the outside world.

But it doesn't matter. He raised his hand and lightly tapped it, and the Taiyin Refining Dao emerged. The island under his feet immediately became illusory, and without the need for the Fire God Dao to connect, rolling magma spewed out.

"boom--"

With a muffled sound, billowing black smoke rose into the sky, creating huge waves on the sea, which looked terrifying.

"It's still almost interesting."

Lu Wujiu looked at it carefully and still felt that it was much weaker. He raised his hand and lightly tapped it. A stream of flaming ink spread out from his fingertips and landed on the island.

In an instant, the black smoke rising into the sky became thicker and thicker, as if a black mountain rose from the ground.

The magma that gushes out from time to time carries an indescribable heat, which does not seem like ordinary fire on earth.

"This is so ridiculous!"

Lu Wujiu nodded in satisfaction, folded his flesh wings, and fell into the volcano.

At this time, with his cultivation of the Fire God Dao, which had reached the great perfection level in the past six decades, he was no longer afraid of the boiling magma, and even felt happy.

The rich fire elemental Qi made his Fire God Dao operation three times more efficient.

He then sank into the magma, silently practicing the Fire God Dao, using the power of the magma to temper his body. This is to melt the heart and forge the veins!

As he practiced, the crater roared more and more.

It is both the attraction of the Fire God Way and the pressure of the fire springs accumulated in the deep sea crust for thousands of years.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the shadow cast by the billowing black smoke enveloped a fishing boat that came to rest. On the boat, the fishermen who had just returned from fishing looked at the White Sand Island, which had turned into an active volcano, with their faces wide open in astonishment.

"Are we going the wrong way?"

“This is White Sand Island.”

"No, it was fine when I left the day before yesterday. How come it erupted overnight?"

"Go quickly, don't linger."

The fishermen were so nervous that they did not even take a break and set sail away.

Lu Wujiu watched this scene quietly and continued to practice.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Xian Qi was slightly startled. It turned out to be a message from the Yanghun Fenghuo Courtyard. He left with his mind and saw Yang Fengzhao, smiling and bowing, saying:
"I heard that you are in seclusion refining weapons. It seems you are very busy!"

"Haha, it's all thanks to my fellow Taoist for his kindness!"

Lu Wujiu casually ignored him and asked, "Fellow Daoist, have you prepared the gold for the furnace?"

Yang Fengzhao nodded: "Exactly! Do you have time?"

Lu Wujiu nodded: "Refining equipment is complicated. It takes a lot of time to prepare the materials. There is not much difference between refining one or two."

Yang Fengzhao immediately smiled happily: "Then I'll have to trouble you, fellow Taoist. I wonder when you will come out of seclusion?"

Lu Wujiu: "Fellow Daoist, just give the materials to Jiang Wenyu. I will come out of seclusion to get the materials when I have time."

Yang Fengzhao nodded: "Okay, okay, this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. I will send the materials to Lao Lushan tomorrow!"

Lu Wujiu: "Okay, then it's settled."

Yang Fengzhao was overjoyed, said goodbye to Lu Wujiu, and went to report the good news.

Lu Wujiu, whose spiritual consciousness had returned, calculated the time. It would take exactly one day to go back and forth, flying in the mirror, so it shouldn't take much time.

At noon the next day, Lu Wujiu quietly returned to Lao Lu Mountain and found Jiang Wenyu. The Liuren Sect had indeed sent the materials, and even the people did not leave, but stayed there, as if waiting for the spiritual weapon to be produced.

Looks tight babe.

Lu Wujiu smiled, took the materials, and reminded that if anyone sent the materials, they could just send a communication talisman and he would come to pick them up.

Jiang Wenyu bowed in response.

Only then did Lu Wujiu leave.

When we returned to Baisha Island in the East China Sea, the situation on the island remained the same, with billowing black smoke and no signs of exploration.

Lu Wujiu was not in a hurry. He threw himself into the magma, practicing silently and refining spiritual weapons.

Time passes day by day.

Later, more and more fishing boats appeared around Baisha Island.

However, these fishing boats were obviously prepared. They took a look from a distance and then took a detour.

Since then, the number of fishing boats has decreased.

Eventually, there were few fishing boats passing by, and everyone seemed to know that Baisha Island was abandoned.

Seeing this scene, Lu Wujiu frowned.

The situation was a little different from what he had imagined! Did he overestimate the intelligence capabilities of the Eighteen Seas? Or was the situation different from what he had imagined?
Full of doubts, he completed the refining of the Liuren School's spiritual weapon.

The material used by the Liuren School for refining instruments is Earth Essence, which was discovered somewhere while digging graves to search for the dead.

The money earned from this refining trip was enough to buy a bottle of five-colored Yuanqi sand.

The so-called five-colored Yuanqi sand is the condensed Yuanqi of the five elements, which is just right for cultivating the Six Ding Divine Fire.

With the help of this five-colored Yuanqi sand, the Fire God Path reached the second level, and the volcano on Baisha Island became more and more active.

At this point, it has been a month since the Baisha Island volcano erupted. Black smoke billows every day, but the surrounding sea area has become increasingly quiet. Fishermen do not come, and fish are retreating.

"We need to increase the intensity!"

Lu Wujiu had an idea and rushed out of Baisha Island, flying towards the coastline. He stretched out his hand and drew a line in the air, and ink burning with flames fell from the sky.

"Rumble..."

In an instant, volcanoes emerged out of nowhere, spewing out hot air.

……

The eastern road of Jiangnan, Leicheng.

There are densely packed fishing boats docked on the wooden pier.

In the setting sun, a group of women took advantage of the remaining light to gather the fishing nets that were hanging out to dry. A few cats lay lazily on the shore, looking carefree and relaxed.

"Meow--"

Suddenly, these cats woke up with a start, their fur standing on end, only to see the calm sea suddenly became high tide, with layers of waves rushing onto the shore, drenching the sleeping cats.

The fishermen who were gathering their fishing nets noticed something was wrong and subconsciously looked towards the sea, only to see that the water was rising higher and higher.

"boom--"

But suddenly, billowing black smoke appeared on the horizon.

"Fire! Fire! Whose boat is on fire?"

The fishermen were horrified when they saw this. They quickly dropped their nets, rushed to get on their boats, and floated out to sea.

Halfway through the journey, everyone's scalp started to tingle.

That burning thing, how could it be a fishing boat? It was clearly an erupting active volcano!
……

……

"Da da da……"

The sound of hurried footsteps rang out on the Zixiao Mountain Road, and a middle-aged Taoist priest appeared. He did not look like an immortal, but instead had an anxious face.

His Taoist bun was disheveled, his Taoist robe was tattered, and he looked exhausted. He was running up the mountain with heavy breathing, and his magic power was almost exhausted.

He rushed to the upper door, broke it open, and without waiting for the disciples on duty to ask him questions, he rushed into the depths of the Taoist temple.

"Senior brother, it's not good!"

He pushed open the door of his senior brother's room and started shouting.

"Junior brother? Why are you so flustered?"

From the inner room of the monastery, a Taoist priest wearing a lotus crown walked out, frowning.

"The volcano in the East China Sea erupted, causing the tide to rise, almost flooding the gates of Leicheng."

Taoist Priest Lotus Crown breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "But the Baisha Island volcano?"

"No, it's not Baisha Island. It's newly appeared volcanoes. There are more than a dozen of them. I don't know about Leicheng, but it is said that volcanoes have been discovered in the sea area over in Hu County."

"you sure?"

"Sure!"

The Taoist priest with the lotus crown's face suddenly darkened.

"When did this happen?"

"Just yesterday, it looked like the Yanquan was agitated. Brother, do you think we should move the Taoist temple?"

"Isn't it?"

"Oh, I'm afraid that you won't believe me, so I came here in person. If you don't believe me, why not let some of the disciples in the temple leave? At least some of them will leave, so that the fire will stay."

"This……"

The Taoist priest with the lotus crown fell into hesitation.

Little did they know that at this time, almost all the cities along the East China Sea coast were in panic.

Along the coastline that stretches for thousands of miles, you can see a volcano rising from the sea from time to time, spewing out lava and causing huge waves.

A doomsday scene.

Not to mention the common people, even the monks along the coast had already been alarmed and rushed to the East China Sea to check the situation.

When they arrived at the scene, everyone was shocked by the scene before them.

"What should we do? It looks like a catastrophe is about to happen."

"Fellow Daoist, you're worrying too much. I've heard that volcanoes are caused by the agitation of hot springs. The fact that there are so many volcanoes actually proves that they can't erupt."

"But how do we explain the increasing number of volcanoes?"

"Even if it doesn't erupt and maintains its current scale, the people of Jiangnan and Dongdao will be finished."

"Yes, look at the nearby sea areas. The fish are dead and the plankton is struggling to survive. If the situation is not suppressed quickly, the Jiangnan and Dongdao regions may be filled with starving people."

Amidst the heated public outcry, the monks along the coast found the situation very difficult.

They invited nine great masters of the Xuanmen sect to take action.

With the deployment of the second-class and third-class masters, the panic among the people was calmed down a lot.

When one reaches the second or third level, he will be extremely skilled in fighting and killing people, and he will also have a magic method to seal the crater of a volcano.

Some moved mountains and transported rocks to seal the crater;

Some suppress it with magical instruments;
What's worse, some people use brutal means to tear open the crater, release the pressure of the hot spring, and use the power of sea water to destroy it.

For a moment, many powerful people showed their magical powers.

However, with everyone's blocking efforts, the Yanquan, which had nowhere to go, showed a tendency to spread in all directions, especially to the depths of the East China Sea.

The nine monks couldn't care less about so many things.

The Eighteen Seas were anxious!

On the boundless sea, a treasure ship with black armor is sailing through the waves.

Fu Li, the master of Fubo Island, stood at the bow, gazing at the sea with a face as gloomy as ink.

A while ago, some fishermen reported that a volcano appeared in the West Sea. Fu Li did not pay much attention to it. The East China Sea is vast, with more than eighteen sea areas. It is not surprising that the hot springs flow and spew out mountains.

However, as more and more volcanoes appeared, he suddenly became nervous and inexplicably thought of the natural disaster that occurred thousands of years ago.

He immediately asked Fu Bo Ming Gui for instructions.

The reply was that the seal was intact and there were no leaks.

This made him feel relieved, especially as more and more cultivators from the nine lands flocked to the seaside, he became even more relaxed.

There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the land of Jiudao.

Since this matter has alarmed them, I think it will be resolved soon.

Unexpectedly, while the nine monks were dealing with it, the volcano began to spread towards the eighteen seas.

If the seal is touched, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Before he could report it, Fu Bo Ming Gui had already received the news and sent him as an envoy.

"Dad, look!"

While Fu Li was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Hongdie's exclamation.

Looking up, I saw three or five black smokes rising from the sea level at some point. As the Xuanjia ship approached, the amount of black smoke increased, creating a doomsday scene.

However, when the Xuanjia ship approached the nearest active volcano, an indescribable special aura shocked Fu Li's heart.

Is this... the breath of fire spirit?
