A few days later.
"Almost ready." Shi Liuli clapped her hands crisply, "Next, we need to transport it to the Heavenly Leak."
"How do we transport it?" An Zhisu asked curiously.
"Let remind you, the heat inside these fragnts of the Heaven-nding Stone is extrely high right now, enough to lt gold and stone." Xu Yinglian said.
"Almost all magical treasures can’t contain objects this hot." Shi Liuli thought out loud, "Perhaps we could try to guide it..."
Then she realized the Heaven-nding Stone in the Earth Fire Furnace was already gone.
"This should do." Chen Guanshui said airily, having stored the Heaven-nding Stone inside the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle’s space.
Everyone exchanged glances, silently wary: how many tricks does this guy still have up his sleeve?
The group left the undersea cavern and then soared straight to the Heavenly Do using sword control.
Above the Heavenly Do, the fierce storm winds continued to rage, the Heavenly Demon’s Sound echoed by their ears, countless tadpole-like scripts rapidly spun on the do’s barrier, dazzling like a kaleidoscope.
Among them, the site for nding the heavens stood abruptly between the streams of tadpole scripts, like an ugly scar on delicate skin.
Chen Guanshui flew close to the Heaven-nding Stone, examining it closely.
The stones were arranged in a plum blossom pattern, all emitting beautiful multicolored light, showing no obvious issues.
"It’s the top right one." The Kunlun Mirror suddenly said, "If you scan it, you’ll find it’s riddled with cracks and won’t last much longer."
"How did these cracks form?" Xu Yinglian suddenly asked.
"Everything in this world has a lifespan." The Kunlun Mirror replied, "The Heaven-nding Stone is no exception. As for why it’s this particular piece, it’s simply that this piece’s refinent quality is worse than the other four, so it’s naturally the first to reach the end of its lifespan."
Unintended words, serious listeners. Shi Liuli pondered quietly, is this hinting that the unfit will be eliminated first?
"So, where should the stone be placed?" Chen Guanshui asked again, "Underneath this damaged Heaven-nding Stone?"
"We need to create a formation." Shi Liuli said, "So the two stones will adhere together, and not fall before the lting process is complete."
"How do we make it?" Chen Guanshui asked, puzzled.
Shi Liuli looked at him in surprise.
"Weren’t you an Array Master when you played the role of Jingyun in Penglai?" Xu Yinglian raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe switching back to being Chen Guanshui, he forgot about that setting." Shi Liuli laughed.
"Playing too many roles leads to a mory scramble?" An Zhisu felt sympathetic.
"Ahem, let research." Chen Guanshui quickly said.
Sister, they’re teasing , don’t take them seriously.
After spending about half a day, they finally designed a formation to constrain the Heaven-nding Stone fragnts, making them stick to the damaged Heaven-nding Stone.
Next, it was Senior Sister An’s turn.
An Zhisu took a deep breath, preparing herself.
The Shushan group lurked 1,200 miles to the west, hiding underwater to wait.
They were only waiting for a signal when the Heaven-nding Stone was nearly refined, then they would charge directly and disperse Qiong Ying and Dong You.
If her husband was to ascend, they would stop him; if not, they would take him back to Shushan.
The perfect plan, she couldn’t find a single flaw.
She closed her eyes for a mont, then moved her hands to form a Daoist formula, sending the Sun True Obscure Sword shooting forth like a massive jet spraying endless Sun True Fire toward the Heaven-nding Stone.
Chen Guanshui watched intently and suddenly asked:
"This fire is really fierce; won’t it lt the intact Heaven-nding Stone too?"
"No." Xu Yinglian replied, "The lting of the Heaven-nding Stone requires a heating process."
"The fragnts have already been fused and have the highest temperature; the fractured Heaven-nding Stone allows heat to perate more easily, so these two will lt and bind first."
"As soon as the bonding is complete, stop heating, so it doesn’t affect the other areas."
Chen Guanshui listened carefully, finding no flaw, and nodded in acknowledgnt.
An Zhisu pointed her sword fingers, channeling True Yuan, and the seemingly endless Sun True Fire burned fiercely at the heavenly leak, coloring the surrounding Heavenly Do in a red glow, like stunning rays of dawn, reminiscent of clouds ablaze.
In the distance, Kunlun, Shushan, and Penglai elders, whether hiding on an island, in the sea, or a cavern, all noticed the strange celestial phenonon—massive heat spread across the Heavenly Do to all directions, even forming a heat island effect, speeding up the movent of clouds, as if ti itself were accelerating.
An Zhisu channeled True Yuan for days, while Chen Guanshui and others kept vigil nearby, and the Three Pure Orthodox Sect waited from afar, until the Heaven-nding Stone’s fusion was complete, ready to expose their daggers and fight to the death.
This phenonon seed strange, but since the Southeast heavenly leak was miles away from Divine Land, they weren’t worried about attracting passing cultivators.
However, unbeknownst to them, two teams were approaching this place.
"Seems like it’s at the heavenly leak there." Qing Shang paused to rest for a mont, confird the location with Qi Observation again, "No mistake."
"What’s he doing at the heavenly leak?" Jiang Lian asked in confusion, "Does he feel sorry for his wife crossing the Heavenly Do being too strenuous and wants to open a shortcut for ?"
"I don’t think so." Qing Shang said honestly, "If the heavenly leak has a flaw, the Chaotic Heavenly River will definitely backfill, drawing in stars as well, leading to the direct destruction of this world... I think any clear-minded person wouldn’t do such a thing."
