It started to rain on the sea.

In the heavy rain, heaven and earth were connected into a huge curtain, through this layer of translucent curtains, Gu Jianping suddenly found a ship slowly moving in the distance, and on the high mast, the four block letters of the Confucian family name were embroidered on the cloth sail.

The merchant ship swayed in the wind and rain, but it moved very steadily. Seeing the direction of this merchant ship, it would obviously pass by Gu Jianping's vicinity of this reef island.

Desperately shouting and shouting, and even broke off a big stone of more than 100 catties at the cost of blood on his hands, and threw it with all his might, the boulder smashed on the sea, stirring up a large area of wave foam, and also made a huge sound, but everything in this heavy rain was like useless work.

The merchant ship gradually moved away, and the test just now also made Gu Jianping understand that if he wanted to get on the ship and pass the trial, he had to swim more than ten miles in this sea of heavy rain and rough waves with this almost mortal body.

Time was pressing, the heavy rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the waves were becoming more and more fierce, Gu Jianping did not hesitate, suddenly jumped into the seawater, followed the direction of the merchant ship, waved his hands and feet desperately, slapped the water surface, and swam towards the merchant ship.

In the sea water, Gu Jianping understood the difficulty of this first trial, no matter how hard Gu Jianping swam. When the waves retreated Gu Jianping in half, the waves also changed his direction a lot from time to time, and the rain and sea water were handed over together, making the merchant ship in front of him looming, so that Gu Jianping swam for a long time, but he didn't swim far, and even felt that he was getting farther and farther away from the merchant ship.

Such an ordeal, such an experience that seemed to be useless, coupled with the tension brought about by the goal of getting on a merchant ship getting farther and farther away, the salty and bitter sea water on his face, and the scars on his body that had just healed were cracked in this violent movement, Gu Jianping remembered the experience of a certain period of death that had just stepped into the path of cultivation.

I will not give up, since I have chosen this path, I will inevitably go to the top, thinking of this in my heart, Gu Jianping's eyes became more and more determined, and he followed the direction of the merchant ship unhurriedly.

Gradually, Gu Jianping swam faster and faster, as if he was born to be a creature of the ocean, he broke the waves and charged, and quickly caught up with the merchant ship, only a few dozen meters remained. At this time, the people of the merchant ship also seemed to notice the strangeness of the sea, and when they looked closely, there was a young man who was almost naked swimming desperately.

The heavy rain gradually dissipated, and outside the bright line of sight, Gu Jianping naturally saw the figure of an old man waving to him on the side of the merchant ship.

In the last few tens of meters, Gu Jianping suddenly felt a kind of joy in his heart, but immediately the alarm bell sounded, things will never be so simple, thinking of this, Gu Jianping looked at everything around him vigilantly.

Fish, a large group of fish surged madly from the sea under Gu Jianping's body, and pounced as if they had seen the most delicious food, Gu Gu Jianping, who was covered in scaly wounds and paddling desperately, how could he deal with these thousands of large and small fish at once, not to mention, these fish were even more bloodthirsty when they bit Gu Jianping.

Feeling the sharp pain of the flesh and blood tearing on his body, the word retribution flashed in Gu Jianping's mind, could it be that he had eaten the grilled fish before to take revenge, this absurd idea came out, but Gu Jianping laughed at himself while adjusting his mentality, avoiding the collision and bite of the fish as much as possible, while chasing the merchant ship.

The body changed from severe pain to numbness, but Gu Jianping also swam more and more slowly, and the flesh and blood at the ends of his hands and feet had already gnawed clean, revealing the white bones, which was terrifying. ‘

Seeing that Gu Jianping had insisted on swimming, the group of fish seemed to be furious, and launched another onslaught on this young man who was unwilling to accept his fate, this time targeting Gu Jianping's face.

In an instant, Gu Jianping's intuitive eyes darkened, and thousands of crazy fish of all sizes rushed to kill, and the original numb feeling became painful again, which was the most sensitive eye and nose on the face.

Just when he was about to lose consciousness, he vaguely saw a figure flying out of the merchant ship. salvaged Gu Jianping, who was almost not human.

When he opened his eyes again, Gu Jianping found that he had come to a room decorated with many pearls and gemstones, flashing treasure light, exquisite utensils and bedding, all indicating the noble status and financial resources of the owner here.

The slight shaking made Gu Jianping understand that he was still on the big ship of the Kong family's business, and the itchy feeling of wound healing made Gu Jianping sit up, and this standing up suddenly surprised him.

In his mind, Gu Jianping still clearly remembered the terrible fish he encountered before he fell unconscious, and even his hands and feet still had the memory of being bitten, but now, looking at his own integrity, it seems that Cong's hands and feet have never been injured, as well as the large scars on his face and chest that have almost healed.

All these changes couldn't help but remind Gu Jianping of the familiar figure of the old man, and just as he was thinking, a maid-like knock on the door and said, "If the captain is holding a banquet on the deck and waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests."

Hearing this, Gu Jianping understood that if he wanted to get an answer, he had to go to this banquet, freshen up and dress up, and Gu Jianping went to the deck with the maids outside the door.

Looking at hundreds of large and small rooms along the way, Gu Jianping was extremely surprised in his heart, in such a world, it was possible to build such a huge ship, these skilled craftsmen were amazing.

Yesterday's heavy rain, today's clear sky, a lively and peaceful atmosphere on the deck. In addition to the necessary left-behind personnel, most of the people on the ship gathered here, passing by the people who were drinking and eating fish and shrimp, Gu Jianping came to the familiar figure of the old man, that is, the captain, and bowed deeply to him, and said, "Junior Mingyang, thank Daozu for saving his life"

Hearing this, this old man, who looked very similar to the Five Elements Dao Ancestor, did not answer immediately, he stroked the beard that hung down to his chest, looked at the vast sea, sighed slightly, and said slowly

"It doesn't have to be that way, you know what this place is"

"Here, here, it's a sea," Gu Jianping was a little puzzled

"Haha, your answer has confirmed one thing," the old man said with a smile

"Don't defend yourself, I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart now, so let me, an old fellow, start with the existence of this world......" said the old man

In the old man's narration, Gu Jianping realized that the place where Gu Jianping is located is called Wanyang Realm, there is no big continent in this world, ninety-nine percent of the world is the sea, and in addition to this, it is a small island, and the human beings here take the boat as their home.

Of course, the important thing is that this old man who is similar to the Five Elements Dao Ancestor actually knows that they are actually in a Nine-Fold Stratosphere Tower, and everything here, including themselves, was created by an immortal named the Five Elements Dao Ancestor.

Hearing this, Gu Jianping was shocked in his heart, generally speaking, the creatures that were created would never know the true name of the god who created them, and they were so casual in their speech, without the slightest awe.

For a while, Gu Jianping was even more puzzled.
