Chapter 124 Sky-Mending Stone

"My magic power and magical powers are not restricted, which is good news. The next step is to investigate the situation in this world and see if there is any way to break the void and help me return to the sky. Wait, this is..."

Chu Tai looked up at the sky and was surprised to find a strange crack in the sky.

The existence of this crack seemed to have no effect on the world itself, and the shape it displayed was different under different light. Therefore, Chu Tai had not noticed anything wrong before, but now that the angle of the skylight had changed, he noticed the problem.

Chu Tai changed his position back and forth on the ground and was horrified to find that there was more than one crack in the sky, and even the positions of these cracks would change over time.

Just when Chu Tai was about to make a calculation, auspicious clouds and auspicious air suddenly surged above the sky. Thousands of brilliant colors gathered and merged with the many cracks, and then dozens of streams of light fell from the sky.

'what is that? ’

Chu Tai frowned slightly, wondering about the changes before his eyes, when he saw a beam of light falling from the sky rushing straight towards him.

The stream of light came so fast and fiercely that Chu Tai was unable to dodge when he saw it.

He stretched out his hand and pointed into the air. A ray of white light spurted out from his fingertips, spread out in the air, and turned into blooming lotus flowers. Holding up the flowing light, it turned out to be a colorful stone.

"What a strange material? The essence of the five elements, the pure energy of heaven, the essence of five jade stones, and probably some other things mixed in. The most amazing thing is that there is a sense of heaven and earth in it. Is there such a material?"

The ability of the [Alchemist] allowed Chu Tai to discover that the essence of the stone should be some kind of refined mixed material the moment he touched it.

But the strange thing is that according to Chu Tai's speculation, after these materials are refined, they should not be able to create the stones in front of them.

To put it bluntly, the grade of this stone is far higher than the materials used.

Therefore, there must be other reasons for this change.

Chu Tai was planning to explore further when several waves of vital energy appeared in the void around him.

Two of them are closer to me, and three are farther away from me.

The two of them are coming one after the other and should be here soon.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Tai stretched out his hand and pointed, and the lotus petals closed inward, turning into a lotus flower that gathered the stone and disappeared into the void.

After blocking the breath, Chu Tai took two steps back, then disappeared into the void, observing secretly.

After a while, two figures, one old and one young, descended from the sky with flowing light.

The two men looked around and became furious. One of the men in brown shorts even slapped the surroundings with his backhand several times, raising a lot of dust.

"Assholes, don't these guys know that it is difficult to refine the Heaven-Fixing Stone? Only by recycling all these Heavenly Dust can we have a better chance of refining new Heaven-Fixing Stone before the next Heaven-Fixing."

The old Taoist priest with white hair and youthful face beside him shook his head and said, "Xi'er, don't be angry. It's human nature for them to make such a choice. Don't ruin your mood for something that has already been decided."

"But teacher, this time the sky cracked inexplicably, it's completely different from the previous ones. We don't know if the next time the sky crack will come earlier. If it continues like this, the Sky Repairing Stones won't be able to keep up with the consumption. Then if the sky cracks again next time..."

Liu Xi showed resentment on his face, feeling that it was not worth it for his teachers who had put so much effort into it.

The old Taoist just smiled and shook his head, looking into the distance. "Instead of being upset here, let's find the location of another piece of heavenly dust."

As he spoke, the old Taoist took out something similar to a compass from his sleeve, pinched his fingers and cast a spell. The needle on the compass turned and pointed directly to the location of the stone that Chu Tai had previously blocked with the lotus.

"What? Tianxie is still here"

Liu Xi widened his eyes and looked at the location where the compass pointed, but there was nothing there.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xi made a series of attacks on the open space. Lines of energy flew and hit the open space, sparking spots of light.

The next second, the magic ban left by Chu Tai was stimulated and took the shape of a lotus bud. Seeing this, Liu Xi exerted more force and struck out more than ten palms in succession. However, his cultivation was too weak and he could not shake the magic left by Chu Tai at all.

After the qi force passed, Handan just shook slightly and there was no change.

The old Taoist priest noticed something was wrong, and he bowed to the people around him and said, "May I ask which senior is joking with my master and me? I beg you to be merciful, put the people of the world first, and return the shavings."

"Hahaha……"

A burst of wild laughter was heard, and then two people flew over from a distance carrying a coffin on their backs.

The one who laughed was the white-clothed, white-faced man standing in front. He tilted his head, looked at the old Taoist and sneered, "You old Taoist are really funny. You actually let people throw away such a precious treasure as Tianxie. You are really shameless."

Behind the coffin, a man in black clothes and a dark face continued, "That's right, that's right. The Heavenly Dust is made from the Heaven-Repairing Stone that has been polished for a long time in the Nine Heavens. It has the merit of repairing the heavens. Whether it is used to refine medicine or make treasures, it is a top-notch item in the world. How can we throw it away so easily?"

When the two were talking, their faces were full of laughter, anger and scolding, and they looked like they looked down on the old Taoist master and his disciple.

Liu Xi was furious: "Black and white ghosts, what nonsense are you two talking about? If there is no sky dust to supplement it, what will happen next time the sky cracks? Are you going to use your lives to fill the gap?"

“Hehehe… Of course, we’ll let your teacher and the others pay the price! We’re not some famous and upright sect. We’re all selfish and evil heretics…”

The white-faced ghost continued to laugh, and the black-faced ghost continued, "That's right, that's right. Don't you righteous people say every day that you have worked hard and made great contributions for the common people and the great cause of the people? If so, if there is a gap in the sky, shouldn't you fill it? As for us..."

The black-faced ghost and the white-faced ghost spoke at the same time: "Of course it is a selfish enjoyment!"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist pulled the angry disciple aside, ignored the black and white ghosts, and looked at the coffin and asked, "Does the ancestor think so too?"

"if not?"

A weak sneer came from the coffin, and an old voice slowly came out: "Old Ancestor, how many years do I have left to live? After I die, who cares about the flood? Now I just want to live two more years. Taoist Mei, if you know what's good for you, just hand over the crumbs of that day."

Taoist Mei heard this and shook his head, saying, "Before my master and I arrived, this Tianxie had already been found by others, so I have no say in the matter."

"From what you said, you mean that we can do whatever we want with the people we find, right? Very good, very good!"

When the voice in the coffin said this, the first word sounded old and weak, and the last two words, "very good", were full of energy, representing the continuous improvement of its strength and breath.

The next second, the coffin lid flew up, and a stream of light flew out from it and rushed towards Handan.
