The road is right under your feet

Just as Shirahoshi was about to fire another shot, the ground shook and the mountains trembled.

Bai Xing staggered and almost fell to the ground, but he subconsciously exerted force with his hand and pulled the trigger.

It’s just... the location is off.

Shoot straight towards the water ball on the other side.

With a loud bang, the water ball burst, and water splashed everywhere.

Not long after it came into contact with the ground, it seeped into the earth and disappeared.

The ground shook more and more violently, and the surrounding spiritual energy gradually gathered and rushed into the ground madly.

Bai Xing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he instinctively sensed the danger. He instantly dodged the abnormal movement area and watched the fire from the other side of the river.

With a light tap of the fingertips on the intelligent brain, a three-dimensional perspective image of the entire basin and the energy distribution suddenly appeared in front of you.

From the image, we can see that the surrounding energy is gathering like a whirlpool, and below the whirlpool is the underground that is like a water droplet-shaped ball.

The water ball continued to absorb energy from above, its volume continued to grow, squeezing the underground world.

The basin was in turmoil, the ground gradually cracked, and huge cracks spread like snakes, forming streams underneath.

Bai Xing shook his head and sighed. Several people on the ground were swallowed by the cracks, fell into the flowing water, and turned into skeletons in an instant.

Transformed into nutrients and flow to the center.

It’s like... Shirahoshi pondered, it’s like the center of the earth is nurturing an embryo and frantically supplying nutrients.

No matter what is above ground or underground, no one is spared.

Soon, this small piece of world was plundered and began to spread to the wider world.

Bai Xing was not surprised at this at all, because the "embryo" in the center of the earth was still very immature and obviously needed to continue incubating.

Shirahoshi felt a little regretful, as the event was so grand that it was bound to attract crowds of onlookers.

And judging from its power, he is definitely not qualified to participate at this moment, as his cultivation is still too low.

Bai Xing turned and left, but his footsteps paused.

I couldn't help but blurt out, "You said...what?"

The voice of the virtual world once again rang in Bai Xing's mind, sounding a little anxious, [Master, Shui Po Sword, Shui Po Sword! You must hurry up, or you will miss this opportunity forever! ]

Bai Xing: "??? No, no sword can work. Do you think someone like me can conquer this sword? Besides, I'm not a sword cultivator.]

[People should have self-knowledge. If something is beyond your ability, just think about it. If you put yourself at risk, the gain will outweigh the loss. ]

[We'll talk about it later.] A faint light flashed in Bai Xing's eyes, [Why rush? If you really want it, we can just take it back when we are strong enough in the future, right?]

[How big of a deal?]

Bai Xing took a step forward and left without any reluctance.

Xu Jie was so anxious that he banged his head against the wall, wishing he could run away immediately. However, he was facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes, so he couldn't get out.

Suddenly, he had an idea and flew out of the Qiankun Ring, controlling the Void Boundary Monument and rushing straight to the center of the earth.

It flew up at such a speed that Bai Xing obviously did not expect it. By the time he reacted, the virtual boundary monument had already appeared in the energy field.

Bai Xing became furious and glared at him with a dark light flashing in his eyes.

The virtual boundary monument was forced to stop, Bai Xing felt relieved and was about to recall it, but found that the energy was as violent as a dragon's fist wind.

The virtual boundary monument...cannot be summoned back.

"Damn it!"

Bai Xing suppressed his anger and said unhappily: "Xuanjie! You'd better pray that we will be safe, otherwise..."

Bai Xing sneered, the body of the monument trembled, and was swept into the turbulence.

Bai Xing took a deep breath, his eyes were icy cold, he turned on his toes, and climbed up to the flying sword that appeared out of nowhere, rising into the sky.

An unknown number of meters above the sky, Bai Xing looked down and saw something like a large bowl.

A hundred meters below was a violent flow of spiritual energy mixed with water elements.

Like a violent storm at sea.

Bai Xing suddenly felt the situation was difficult and didn't know how to start.

Bai Xing took a deep breath and wished he could drag Xu Jie back and give him a good beating. A good beating would make him behave himself.

The voice from the virtual world came out again, [Master, the Water Soul Sword has awakened, however, it is severely damaged and needs a lot of spiritual energy to repair. It is like a child at this moment, it is a good time to get close to it.]

[This still requires the master to help it with the weapon refining technique, it cannot absorb this water directly. ]

[Believe me, Master, I won't joke about your life and property. Even someone as small as me cherishes my life very much! ]

The Virtual World Monument spoke very quickly, as if afraid that Bai Xing would not listen, and poured all the words into Bai Xing's mind.

Bai Xing's forehead was throbbing. [Then tell me, what should I do?]

The virtual boundary monument was delighted when he heard it, and his speech speed was still fast, but there was less anxiety, "It's very simple, you go deeper into the vortex, and I will wait for you here. 】

A brilliant red light appeared in Bai Xing's eyes, and Bai Xing quickly locked onto the position of the virtual boundary monument, only to see it standing motionless in the center, with the 'embryo' directly below it.

Shirahoshi: [??? You, you've grown wings, haven't you? Are you trying to trick me? I thought you were about to meet with an accident!]

[Do you know that excessive emotional fluctuations are very harmful to your health? ]

The virtual world smiled flatteringly: [I'm sorry, Master, I was wrong and made you worry. ]

[Master, hurry up! Time waits for no one, Master! ]

Bai Xing's forehead was throbbing, and suddenly his eyes focused, and a few small black dots appeared in the distance.

They were monks who came here after hearing the news.

"It's coming fast."

In the end, Bai Xing said nothing and plunged into the vortex, using all his strength, starting from the center of the vortex and rushing straight to the location of the virtual boundary monument.

At the same time, the virtual boundary monument gradually enlarged and returned to its original size, relieving the pressure on Shirahoshi.

Lightning rose up around Bai Xing, and he descended on the virtual boundary monument like lightning.

The extreme speed did not cause much impact and the whole process went smoothly.

The virtual boundary monument released spiritual power to tightly encircle Bai Xing, forming a barrier around its body. The whirlpool subconsciously avoided it, forming a hollow area, allowing it to stand safely on the monument.

With the protection of the virtual boundary monument, Bai Xing will not be affected even if he is in the center of the vortex.

He looked down at the land below, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Soon, a weak voice came from the virtual world, "Master, my spiritual power is about to run out. It's up to you from now on."

Veins bulged on Bai Xing's forehead, and he had never been in such a bad mood.

"You. Wait.."

Bai Xing's words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth. He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the lightning in his eyes flashed as if it were real.

"A mighty thunderstorm!"

This is the final form of the Thunderous Fist. Lightning and thunder surged around Bai Xing's body like a substance. All the lightning and thunder gathered in his fist, and he punched hard on the stone tablet under his feet.

A gust of air swept out, and lightning struck directly into the monument. The entire body of the virtual world monument trembled, and electric current flashed on the monument body.

[Master, hit me a few more times! ]

The sound from the virtual world is no longer as weak as before. As his cultivation improves, the powerful thunder and lightning are no longer comparable to the past.

Shirahoshi once again poured lightning into him until his spiritual power was exhausted.

Xu Jie burped unconsciously, Bai Xing's face turned black, and he took a bottle of recovery potion with a sour face.

Feeling the return of spiritual energy, Bai Xing's face looked much better.

[Master, start refining the weapon. Treat it like scrap copper and iron. ]

Bai Xing nodded and was about to use the few weapon refining techniques he knew, which were the entry-level weapon refining techniques he learned from Su Shixuan.

Although it is not enough to forge high-level spiritual weapons, it is more than enough to make weapon parts.

Bai Xing's hand paused in the air, his face darkened again, "What else is there? You'd better tell me all of it."

Xujie said weakly: [No...no more, the Water Soul Sword is water-friendly, and only water-attributed spiritual power can be accepted by it, and...it...needs a large supply of water-attributed spiritual power.

This vortex composed of water and spiritual energy cannot be directly absorbed."

"A large supply of water-attribute spiritual power?" Bai Xing lowered his head in thought. He looked at the spiritual power whirlpools around him and his heart moved.

He had no doubt that if he released the water element in his body, it would be sucked dry in an instant, and even continuous recovery potions would be of no use.

How to quickly recover spiritual power when being sucked? How to achieve a balance between income and expenditure?

Bai Xing's eyes flashed, and the stone tablet under his feet reminded him clearly how miserable he was at that time.

Perhaps, it's time to recreate the scene of that day.

Bai Xing's clothes fluttered, his clothes turned into flames, and a ball of fire appeared in his hands.

"Flame Dance."

Bai Xing stood on the huge stone tablet and danced slowly.

The stone tablet is like a huge square, and no matter how Bai Xing flips on it, there is no risk of falling off.
