Chapter 952 Negotiating Countermeasures
Lingyun Immortal Venerable did not return the extraterrestrial stone mountain.
Several immortal venerables discussed the matter and all felt that this hole was troublesome. They would need to gather the most elite array masters in the immortal realm to discuss whether they could seal it with an array.
Since this mountain of stones from outer space is the culprit, all the valuable minerals it contains should naturally be used to repair the hole.
Therefore, the immortals agreed to temporarily store the stone mountain elsewhere, to be used later to cover the cost of repairing the holes.
After reaching an agreement, Immortal Venerable Lingyun moved the Heavenly Stone Mountain to a desert and then sent people to guard it.
The massive underground sinkhole can only be filled with seawater and become part of the ocean.
Inviting a top-tier array master to discuss the sealing matter is not something that can be done overnight.
Since there was no other danger, the onlookers were naturally itching to go and take a look at the outer void.
After all, there are very few cultivators who actually travel in the outer void, even those who have ascended to immortality.
Who wouldn't have a bit of curiosity?
Let alone those cultivators who have never seen the outer void, even Shui Wuhen and Xiao Han, two cultivators who have wandered in the outer void before, want to go and take a look at the outer void outside the Immortal Realm.
No matter which interface you are in, you cannot break through its barrier and enter the outer void until you reach the highest cultivation level of that interface.
Therefore, apart from the Immortal Venerable who might have wandered into the outer void, the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm have never left the Immortal Realm.
The hole in the sky was essentially a passage to the outer void for cultivators of this realm. Therefore, since Immortal King Yun Que was the first to escape, and no Immortal Venerable intervened, the other Immortal Kings naturally followed suit.
Seeing one Immortal King after another fly out of the hole, Liu Qinghan couldn't stay still either.
She looked at Shui Wuhen, "Do you want to go out and take a look?"
Shui Wuhen nodded and agreed.
The two of them looked at Xiao Han at the same time.
Xiao Han quickly said, "You guys go ahead."
The two then flew towards the hole above without lingering.
Xiao Han looked around.
The sky was filled with countless cultivators, truly blotting out the sun.
These people would be more than enough to fill the gaps in the system.
Moreover, there are many cultivators rushing here.
More and more cultivators began to fly out of the hole to see the world outside the interface.
Seeing that many cultivators of the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal realm had also flown up, Xiao Han immediately joined in the fun.
The higher you fly, the greater the obstruction from the gales in the void.
Fortunately, they do not need to break through the boundary barrier; they only need to withstand the force of the gale.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal cultivators, being cultivators capable of utilizing some of the power of laws, easily passed through the hole and arrived in the outer void.
At this moment, the outer void near the hole was bustling with people, truly a lively scene.
Xiao Han found that this place was no different from the extraterrestrial void she had encountered during her previous wanderings, and finding it uninteresting, she looked around for a while and then flew back.
Once again, I stood in the air as a bored bystander, looking around aimlessly.
After a while, Shui Wuhen finally returned.
"Let's go back."
There was nothing particularly interesting to see here, and the matter of plugging the hole was none of his concern as a Celestial King. So he took Xiao Han and returned to Yanzhou.
Liu Qinghan is a cultivator from Qingzhou. If Xiao Han and the others really want to know how things are going, they can use a communication artifact to ask her.
Three days have passed since the stone mountain in the sky smashed through the barrier, and the huge hole in the void still hangs high overhead without any change.
At this moment, inside a magical treasure hall suspended high in the void, many cultivators were seated.
The five Immortal Venerables of Qingzhou, led by Immortal Venerable Lingyun, along with one Immortal Venerable representative from each of the four continents (east, south, west, and north), plus one Immortal Venerable Demon from the East Sea of Qingzhou, make a total of ten Immortal Venerables.
The remaining group consisted of more than ten renowned array masters from the five continents.
At this moment, everyone in the room had a solemn expression.
Among the array masters, Grandmaster Shen, who looked the oldest, shook his head dejectedly and said, "Arrays that can repair the void are nothing more than sealing. But with such a large hole in the void, even if an array is barely set up, its effect is similar to that of an ordinary low-level restriction. It can only cover things up and has no defensive function."
He paused, then added, "Therefore, the ban is only a temporary cover-up; ultimately, the interface must heal itself through its own power."
One of the immortals said, "This hole is too big. It will probably take hundreds or thousands of years for it to heal completely on its own."
The immortal venerable one from the demon race was a black dragon in human form, so everyone called him the Black Dragon Immortal Venerable.
Originally, the demon race did not want to get involved, since such matters were left to be handled by powerful human cultivators.
However, Immortal Venerable Lingyun felt that the East Sea was right below the hole, and if anything unfortunate happened, the demons in the East Sea would not be able to escape unscathed. Therefore, he strongly requested that Immortal Venerable Black Dragon also participate.
At this moment, the Black Dragon Immortal Venerable couldn't help but sneer, "Aren't you humans good at crafting all sorts of treasures? Can't you craft a treasure that can block the void?"
For millions of years, the human and demon races have been mortal enemies. Now, faced with a natural disaster, they have no choice but to sit down together, but the Black Dragon Immortal Venerable is not going to miss this opportunity to make sarcastic remarks.
Peng Yue, the Immortal Venerable of Yanzhou, snorted, "You've also cultivated to the level of an Immortal Venerable, so you should have some sense when you speak. Such a magical treasure that can mend the heavens can only be a primordial spiritual treasure left over from the creation of the world, or a top-tier magical treasure crafted by an ancient master craftsman."
"Of all the other weapon-refining cultivators who survived the shattering of this interface, who could possibly forge a weapon capable of mending the heavens?"
The Black Dragon Immortal Venerable retorted, not to be outdone, "Since there's no way to do it, what's the point of discussing it? Let it heal on its own."
Lingyun Immortal Venerable had to frown and speak up to stop them, "Fellow Daoists, please speak properly. This is not the time to act impulsively."
He then looked at the Black Dragon Immortal Venerable, "Fellow Daoist Black Dragon, please be more polite. If we don't leave this hole alone, not only will other things come in later, but over time, the spiritual energy below will also dissipate to the outer realms, and your East Sea will be the first to suffer."
The Black Dragon Immortal stopped talking, grabbed the spiritual fruit from the table in front of him, and began to chew it in a fit of rage.
Anyway, he won't give up any of the treasures in his Dragon Palace, so whether he fixes the hole or not doesn't really scare him.
Immortal Venerable Peng Yue then said, "I think we should first send people to guard the hole, and not allow cultivators below the level of Immortal Venerable in the Immortal Realm to go out at will. Otherwise, once the hole is sealed, they will have to break the seal again in order to come back, wouldn't that be a waste of their time?"
Lingyun Immortal Venerable stroked his short beard, deeply agreeing with the assessment, "Fellow Daoist Peng's words are reasonable."
He looked at a celestial being beside him and said, "Old Xu, I'll trouble you to guard this place. From now on, you are only allowed to come back, and you are not allowed to go out again."
Xu Xianzun nodded in agreement, then flew out of the magic treasure house to guard the area below the hole.
