Chapter 246: Relics of Heaven and Earth, Giant Whale of the Abyss
"The essence of swordsmanship?"
Song Lin immersed his mind in his thoughts.
A sword beam that is invisible but actually exists is floating on the samsara fate disk. It is not like a fate, but more like a small sword, free and unrestrained, floating between heaven and earth.
Occasionally, he would only linger around the Qilin species, Fengyun phase, and the natural sword bone fate. He was not interested in other fates at all.
Song Lin tried to immerse his mind in it, but suddenly felt a sharp pain and quickly withdrew his perception.
What exactly is this essence of sword destiny, and what is its function? Even the reincarnation destiny disk cannot be analyzed?
"what!"
When he turned his eyes, he found that the surface of the reincarnation fate plate was dim, as if it had been seriously damaged by this heaven-defying act.
Do we have to wait for it to recover?
Thinking about it.
Two auras were coming rapidly from the front.
Song Lin opened his eyes.
It was Jian Wuxin and that old and fussy servant.
"It's really you."
Jian Wuxin fell from midair and stopped in front of Song Lin, followed closely by the old servant with white hair and beard.
"it's me."
Song Lin nodded.
Jian Yi mentioned him just now, and the old servant had also seen him, so it was indeed appropriate for them to meet this time.
"My master was in seclusion before, and didn't know you were his old friend. Please forgive me." The old servant bowed, his expression still unable to hide his grief.
"It was me who disturbed Senior Jian Yi from his tribulation, it's not my father-in-law's fault."
Song Lin sighed and returned the greeting.
At this time.
Jian Wuxin asked, "Brother Yang, why did you come to the spring?"
Song Lin hesitated and said, "Your master has just passed away. Why don't we talk about these trivial matters later?"
"That's fine."
Jian Wuxin really had no thoughts at the moment, so he asked his old servant to go and rest on behalf of Song Lin, while he himself sat in front of a huge sword monument at the foot of the spring, staring blankly for a long time.
Jian Yi is dead.
Not even a sleeve was left behind. Apart from those three people, no one in the world even knew about the death of the number one swordsman on the Black List.
How sad is this?
Everything happened... so suddenly.
the other side.
Song Lin bid farewell to his old sword servant and sat alone in a small courtyard dozens of miles away from the spring.
Looking at the water curtain where the water and sky meet, I can't help but sigh.
Today's scene was truly shocking.
The number one swordsman on the Black List, whose talent was comparable to Ye Qingyun, the Magician and others, died just like that.
In order to pursue the supreme golden body.
"Perhaps I have thought of this path too simply. Even powerful people like the Magician, Ye Qingyun, and Li Yixiu all fell on this path. Can I really succeed?" Song Lin thought silently in his heart.
What happened today made him clearly realize his own shortcomings.
Compared with the real masters of the Divine Palace.
I still have a long way to go on the path to becoming a golden body.
Nangong Jie, Xu Yunfeng and others, compared with Jian Yi, are like the Leiyin realm master himself compared with an ordinary Leiyin master in the martial arts world.
To think that one is equal to ten is to overestimate them.
Time has gradually passed.
Song Lin spent his first night at the foot of the spring.
The next day.
The sword servant brought food and water.
After expressing his gratitude, Song Lin quickly finished his meal and successfully met Jian Wuxin, who was in mourning.
"I have built a cenotaph for Master. Brother Yang, are you willing to join me in paying respects there?"
Jian Wuxin took the initiative to invite.
"I couldn't ask for more." Song Lin nodded.
A few moments.
The two came to a stone tablet.
Jianyi's tomb stands right in front of the spring, under the huge sword monument.
The two of them bowed and burned incense in silence.
Standing in front of the tombstone.
Jian Wuxin looked sad and sighed: "Besides me and Yuan Bo, you may be the only one in this world who can worship Master."
Song Lin said: "Brother Jian, don't you plan to announce it to the world and let fellow martial artists come to pay their respects?"
Jian Wuxin shook his head slightly.
He said: "When Master was here, he blocked the way for too many people. My cultivation is not enough, and Yuan Bo couldn't protect the spring either. Now Master's influence is still there, I hope I can protect it for a while."
"Please keep it a secret, Brother Yang."
talking.
He bowed to Song Lin sincerely.
"That's right." Song Lin returned the greeting and asked, "You plan to stay at the spring forever, so you don't plan to go somewhere else?"
"There are many secrets under the spring. I just want to inherit my master's will and guard this place well."
Jian Wuxin forced a smile.
Then he said, "Besides, Sanjiang Jiuquan is only so big. I have traveled all over the place over the years. What else is there to see?"
"I mean... outside of Sanjiang."
Song Lin pointed to the sky.
He could feel that Jian Wuxin seemed to be stuck in a knot.
Then he said, "Before your master left, he said that he would let you find your own way. How can a mere spring let you be trapped in this small place?"
"Even if this place can hold you, can it hold your heart?"
"Uh……"
Jian Wuxin was stunned for a moment.
for a long time.
He smiled casually, and the gloom in his eyes seemed to dissipate a little.
"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Yang. If I have the chance, I will go out and see the vast world outside. Then I will come back and fulfill my master's last wish."
"So good!"
Song Lin laughed heartily a few times.
Do not know why.
Although the two were once rivals, they got along very well.
Perhaps he is just like the climber on the top of the mountain, always accompanied by loneliness and solitude, and occasionally meets people with the same interests.
This is what is called the loneliness of masters.
Among their peers, the two of them could certainly be considered masters, and they had even met in advance on the top of a hill.
quite a while.
Jian Wuxin asked, "Brother Yang, I heard that your injuries haven't recovered yet?"
"It's not a big deal, it will be fine after some time."
Song Lin didn't explain much, but he didn't intend to hide it from Jian Wuxin.
"Ah."
Jian Wuxin felt a little regretful: "I originally wanted to compete with you again to verify my progress in recent days."
As he said this, he seemed to think of Jian Yi again, his face somewhat gloomy: "Master has raised me for more than 20 years, I have never fulfilled my filial duty, but I have never let him down. Until you appeared... Yesterday I heard Master say that you are better than me, but I was actually not convinced in my heart."
"In that case, why don't we wait until we each advance to the Divine Palace before making an appointment for a battle?" Song Lin said with a smile.
"it is good!"
"It's a word."
The two smiled at each other and walked away from the sword monument.
"By the way. Brother Yang, why are you here this time?"
"I want to go to the spring and take a look."
"For the remains of the Tiandi Alliance?"
"For the remains of the Tiandi Alliance."
"It's very dangerous down there, why don't you wait until you recover from your injuries before coming back?"
"You feel it's dangerous too?"
"My master also feels it's dangerous."
"Then I have to go and have a look. Some things have been in my heart for a long time. If I don't solve them, they will become a knot in my heart."
Song Lin stopped and looked at Jian Wuxin with a firm gaze.
"This..." Jian Wuxin was still a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, I will withdraw if I am unable to do so." Song Lin said.
"Ok."
Jian Wuxin had no choice but to agree.
After a while.
Song Lin followed Jian Wuxin and came to one of the countless lakes forty-nine miles east of the spring.
The water here is unusually calm, as if it contains some unknown danger.
"right here?"
Song Lin was a little surprised.
No one expected that the entrance to the spring was here, rather than the surging spring water column.
"right here."
Jian Wuxin nodded: "The area below the spring is vast and boundless, and it is very easy to get lost. If you go directly down from the spring, an ordinary divine palace will be shattered to pieces."
"Brother Yang, I will wait for you here for twenty days, or at most one month. If it's longer, I really won't be able to get out!"
Song Lin nodded seriously.
"Return within twenty days."
The date agreed with Jian Shiyi was one month. There was enough time left for him to rush to Wangchuan Ferry.
wow~~
Song Lin dived into the calm lake and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Heaven and Earth Alliance..."
Jian Wuxin sighed slightly.
In a trance, he thought of a bright and beautiful woman.
then.
The young boy hid behind his master, watching her chatting and laughing with his idol, interacting with his peers. He watched her like the protagonist of the world, with thousands of eyes on her.
He thought to himself at that time that he must become the same person in the future.
Stand with them on the mountain top.
Now that they have passed away, the next generation will eventually fall on the beach. I wonder how many of their generation can really reach the top of the mountain? Look at the scenery above...
Just like those unparalleled supreme masters three thousand years ago.
-
Wow~~
The calm water beneath the surface gradually began to surge.
Song Lin looked calm as he dived down in the direction indicated by Jian Wuxin.
At this time, he had an underwater route map in his arms.
It was a path that Xu Shenglan had spent several years and untold hardships to explore. Apart from the Giant Whale Gang, only Jian Wuxin and his apprentice had this plan.
But they are not interested in the secrets of the Tiandi Alliance.
Or.
Jian Yi once knew some secrets, and even more, but for him who has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, these are no longer important.
On the contrary, it is the Giant Whale Gang that has been coveting this place over the years.
If Jian Yi wasn't alive and had a close relationship with Xu Shenglan...
"Humph."
"Even if Jian Yi is dead, there is still me!"
Song Lin dived all the way down, keeping in mind the route on the water map, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
There are no landmarks and no light in this endless water.
His cultivation was not as good as Xu Shenglan's, and even less as good as the magic master of that year, who dared to dive all the way from the Minjiang River into the Nine Springs.
Just be cautious again.
In the endless darkness under the water, there is no concept of day or night.
Time seemed to have passed for a day, and then it seemed like three days had passed... Song Lin finally saw some lights ahead.
It is jellyfish ore.
Each piece looks like a star in the water, emitting countless starlight. Under the scouring of the waves, countless tiny jellyfish minerals turn into a galaxy, as if guiding people.
"It should be right here."
Song Lin took out the water map and confirmed the route in the faint light.
Then continue diving along the underwater galaxy.
About a few hours passed.
The light below gradually grew stronger.
Ruined palaces, countless strange and hideous skeletons, and human skeletons bear witness to the traces of time.
A doubt arose in Song Lin's mind.
"What was the magician thinking back then? He built the palace here. I'm afraid only the gods and some gifted masters of Gangqi can come here, right?"
even though.
This place is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack.
But if it has no special meaning, it would be hard to explain.
and also……
What kind of danger did Xu Shenglan encounter here? With her cultivation comparable to Xu Canghai's, she couldn't escape...
"Hey~~"
Song Lin turned his head suddenly, looking alert.
Amid the sound of rushing water.
The bottom of the water, which was originally considered calm, suddenly began to surge with undercurrents.
A huge "mountain" slowly rose from the bottom of the water.
Countless pieces of mud and sand surged up and rolled down the back of the "mountain" into the water, making it muddy.
Song Lin widened his eyes.
He seemed to have seen a giant whale. A giant whale that could only survive in the deep sea!
"babble--"
A deep and loud long sound was heard.
The giant whale opened its huge mouth and sucked towards Song Lin.
Suddenly.
An extremely powerful suction force kept pulling him towards the giant whale's mouth.
