Jiang Shi grabbed it casually, and firmly grasped the gravel shot by the Danfeng-eyed woman, although the other party didn't use all his strength, but seventy or eighty percent of the strength was there.

How can it be so easy to be caught?

"You have also attained the Holy Spirit?"

The woman with phoenix eyes lost her voice and spoke.

"Holy Spirit? Isn't it remarkable? ”

Jiang Shi's tone was indifferent, and he said, "It's not only the Holy Spirit who has this kind of power, two envoys, I don't care what you are here for, in short, if you want to dominate the Black Lotus Sect, you can do it, this seat has no time to play with you, and besides, the old sect leader has little time to recuperate, and he has no time to accompany you to fool around!" ”

Laugh at!

He flicked his fingers, and the gravel in his hand shot towards the woman with the red phoenix eyes in the same way, but the stone he shot was more powerful and faster, making a piercing and terrifying sound, which was more terrifying than the stone shot by the woman with the red phoenix eye.

The woman's face changed, and she hurriedly dodged quickly, but although she dodged, the wind brought by the stone made his entire cheek tingle slightly.

What's even more terrifying is that when the whole stone grazing her body shot past and landed behind, suddenly!

Bang!

The entire rear directly emitted a terrifying sound of shaking mountains, the flames were rolling, and the air waves were howling, as if a dozen missiles had exploded behind her at once, earth-shattering.

The terrifying and shocking sound of the explosion made the woman with phoenix eyes widen in horror, revealing a trace of horror and trembling in her heart.

Monster!

This is a monster!

The thin bamboo pole man on one side and the previous Elder Liu also changed color, and looked at Jiang Shi with a ghostly expression.

In the terrifying fluctuation caused by the blow just now, even they all felt an unspeakable death crisis!

How can it be?

"You... You..."

Danfeng's feminine body trembled, her face was pale, her eyes were firmly fixed on Jiang Shi, and it was difficult to say a complete sentence again.

She was really scared in her heart.

How could such a character appear in this barren prison?

The Holy Spirit can actually threaten her second level of the Holy Spirit without reaching the Holy Spirit!

If the three of them are killed here, even if the general altar pursues them, it will be difficult to pursue the other party.

How could this guy be so scary?

Jiang Shi's face was indifferent, and he didn't pay attention to the three of them anymore, but helped the old sect leader and turned around and left directly.

The old sect leader Chen Xuantian also showed a deep shock and felt incredible.

Jiang Shi's power is simply more and more weird every time!

Every time it exceeds expectations!

Is this really a born Vajra?

Even if it is released, it is not so against the sky!

"Li Changfeng, send off!"

Jiang Shi spoke indifferently.

Li Changfeng shuddered, reacted instantly, and hurriedly looked at the three people in front of him, showed a smirk, and said, "Three seniors, please go." ”

"Okay, okay."

The woman with the red phoenix eyes laughed angrily again and again, took a deep breath, and didn't dare to stay any longer, but turned around and left directly.

The thin bamboo pole man and Elder Liu next to him also didn't dare to stay for a moment, and quickly followed the woman with the red phoenix eyes and left this place.

"Old Sect Master, how did they find here?"

Jiang Shi frowned and asked.

"There is a Jin Liying in the main altar that is specially used for communication, and on the afternoon of your departure, Jin Liying beside me gave birth to a sense, and then automatically flew out and brought the three of them over."

The old sect leader spoke.

"Jin Liying?"

Jiang Shi repeated.

"Yes, this eagle is cultivated with special drugs, and the headquarters has a kind of Jin Liyan, once the Jin Liyan is released, no matter how far away it is, this eagle can sense it, and then fly over, this is the means left by the general altar to control the branch altar."

Chen Xuantian said.

"And what the woman said is true? This world is lonely overseas, but in fact it is a cage? ”

Jiang Shi asked.

"I don't know if it's a cage, I only know that this world is indeed surrounded by oceans, to be precise, this is an island, there is a strait on the east side of this island, called the Misty Strait, there is a hundred thousand miles in the middle, and after that strait is where the main altar is located, but the Misty Strait has changed more than four hundred years ago, and no ship can pass through, and over time, we have lost contact with the main altar, and I can't imagine that the strait has been restored again so soon."

Chen Xuantian sighed.

"And how big is the world across the strait?"

Jiang Shi asked, "Did Meng Fang go there?" ”

"Boundless, not only me, the sect masters of the past generations have never come to the end, Meng Fang is said to be a person from the Meng family branch on that continent, and he should have returned there."

Chen Xuantian said.

"Is that so?"

Jiang Shi thought in his heart and said, "By the way, have the three envoy sect leaders ever recognized?" ”

"I don't know, they are all newcomers recently cultivated by the general altar, and they are definitely not the group of people from more than 400 years ago."

Chen Xuantian shook his head and said: "However, if you crash into the main altar, it is not good after all, if they send the news back, it will definitely be a disaster for you, the most taboo betrayal in the Heavenly Demon Sect, although my Black Lotus Sect has existed independently since its establishment, but its strength is not as good as that of people, and the sect masters of all dynasties are under their control, if they really anger that group of people, they want to destroy us, it will definitely be effortless." ”

"Don't worry, sect leader, I have my own plans."

Jiang Shi spoke, thinking quickly in his heart, and said, "By the way, the sect leader will rest for a while, I just had another inspiration and am going back to retreat." ”

"Jiang Shi, don't mess around."

Chen Xuantian solemnly warned, worried that Jiang Shi had chased and killed the three in the past.

"Don't worry, the sect leader won't kill them."

Jiang Shi's tone was calm.

"That's okay, the gap between us and them is too big, the sect masters of the past generations have taken the initiative to find them with their faces, it's best not to fall out completely!"

Chen Xuantian spoke.

"Hmm."

Jiang Shi nodded, turned around and left, and soon met Li Changfeng again.

"They're all gone?"

Jiang Shi asked.

"Yes Jiang Shaoxia, go west."

Li Changfeng said with a smile.

"Huh?"

Jiang Shi's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at Li Changfeng coldly.

Li Changfeng shuddered, smiled, said no more, and hurriedly ran towards the courtyard.

Jiang Shi immediately left this place and disappeared in an instant.

···

Outside the town.

Rich in the woods.

The woman with the red phoenix eyes, the thin bamboo pole man, and Elder Liu walked all the way to this place, their faces were blue and extremely ugly.

"Damn thing, dare to betray the general altar and look for death, it's really looking for death!"

The woman with the red phoenix eyes scolded angrily again and again, and slapped her palm on a boulder, shattering the boulder.

"Stop scolding, this Jiang Shi is a little weird, and the situation we explored along the way is seriously inconsistent, the people in this world seem to all underestimate this person, no one knows his specific strength, this is enough to show that this person is scheming, in short, he is a very terrible person."

The thin man sighed,

Along the way, they have inquired about Jiang Shi's various deeds more than once, and they are confident that they have mastered all the means and true strength of Jiang Shi.

But I never thought that these so-called masters were just a joke!

The real Jiangshi is dozens of times more terrifying than the rumored ones!

What kind of monster is this?

A single grain of gravel can cause such earth-shattering destructive power.

"There is no one in the entire Daxuan World who can figure out Jiang Shi's strength, it's really a waste, and they deserve to be invaded by the Northern Zhou!"

That Elder Liu gritted his teeth and scolded angrily.

"Return to the Altar!!"

The woman with Danfeng's eyes was resentful, and she said, "No matter how strong this Jiang Shi is, if he collides with the main altar, he has committed a big taboo, and I will make him pay!" ”

"This person is so talented, even if he reports to the General Altar, the General Altar may not be able to make a move against this person, right?"

The man with a thin bamboo pole frowned.

"Hmph, what can he do if he is strong, those who don't obey discipline will be treated equally by the general altar, and besides, he has already apostatized, do you think the general altar will tolerate him?"

The woman with phoenix eyes snorted coldly.

"That's just as well."

The thin bamboo pole man nodded lightly and said, "Then I'll call back Jin Liying!" ”

He took out a black porcelain vase from his bosom, pulled off the lid, and there were bursts of smoke emitting from it, and the breath was light, and after a while, a loud and piercing sound came from high in the air.

A golden demon eagle with a huge body appeared in the sky, its wings spread, hovering overhead, and then quickly swooped down directly towards the thin bamboo pole man.

But just as the Jin Li Eagle had just swooped down, suddenly, a purple lightning bolt struck on one side, extremely fast, like a thunder whip, and struck Jin Li Ying's body at once.

Click!

Jin Liying let out a terrible and piercing cry, the hair on his body exploded, instantly scorched black, pieces of feathers quickly collapsed, and his entire body fell straight down from mid-air, slamming on the ground, his body twitched, and he was seriously injured.

"Who?"

"Who?"

The face of the woman with red phoenix eyes and the thin bamboo pole man changed, and they drank in unison, and quickly turned around.

Smack! Smack! Bang···

The sound of footsteps sounded, and a burly and tall figure walked out of the forest slowly, dressed in a black robe, black hair, black pupils, expressionless, and broad steps.

Bring an unspeakable deterrent out of thin air!

"Jiang Shi!"

"Jiang Shi, what are you going to do?"

The three of them shouted in shock.

"Three, someone once taught me a truth, which is called cutting grass and eradicating roots."

Jiang Shi's tone was indifferent, he strode over, and directly stopped at a place where the three of them were more than ten meters away, this area was within the teleportation range of the lightning step, which could ensure that he was as fast as lightning when he started, and no one could react.

"You want to kill us?"

The pupils of the woman with Danfeng's eyes shrank, her color was fierce, and she shouted, "Jiang Shi, you are so bold, you don't stop after hitting the main altar, and you still want to kill your mouth, do you think the general altar doesn't know?" We all have tracking marks left by the general altar on our bodies, once we are killed, this mark will be contaminated on others, and it will be difficult to wash it away within half a year, besides, do you think you can kill us with your ability? ”

"Sect Leader Jiang, what happened before was just a misunderstanding, why did you hold on to us? Everyone is a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, there is no need to do such a desperate thing! ”

The man with a thin bamboo pole spoke in a low voice.

"Not necessary?"

Jiang Shi's face was indifferent, and he said, "But why did I just hear you talk about reporting to the General Altar and inviting the master of the General Altar to come and kill me?" ”

He had already appeared three or four minutes earlier, but he had been hiding in the dark to watch, until the golden eagle fell from the sky, and he chose to do it.

"You!"

The eyes of the thin man with a bamboo pole changed slightly.

This Jiang Shi has heard it all!

"Sect Leader Jiang, it is not a wise move to go against the General Altar, we can guarantee that if we don't send your news back to the General Altar, today's matter, forget it!"

The thin man with a bamboo pole spoke in a heavy tone, and his clothes were hunting.

"I don't believe you."

Jiangshi export.

"Jiang Shi, if you want to kill us, it also depends on your ability, you really think that the masters of the general altar are vegetarians!"

The woman with phoenix eyes shouted loudly.

"Whether you're a vegetarian or not, you'll know if you've tried it."

Jiang Shi's tone was indifferent, and he disappeared in an instant.

The woman's face changed, "Do it!" ”

Call!

Her body was divided into four in an instant, it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and she quickly pounced directly, and each figure burst out with powerful energy, whining and piercing, breaking through a heavy sound chapter, and almost slaughtered in front of Jiang Shi in the blink of an eye.

At the moment when she made a move, the thin bamboo pole next to her and the previous Elder Liu all shouted loudly, and their bodies were violent, and the two figures rushed out in unison like lightning.

The next moment, the palm of the thin bamboo pole was raised, and in an instant, it was black and dense, weird and gloomy, as if it had been dyed with ink, revealing an unimaginable devastating fluctuation, and slapped directly towards Jiang Shi's body.

And Elder Liu was still using his previous mastery, and the claw shadow was clawed, and there were countless afterimages in an instant, causing hallucinations, dense, containing a dual attack of spirit and physics.

"Huh?"

Jiang Shi raised his eyebrows, he didn't look at Elder Liu's attack, and his eyes fell on the palm of the thin bamboo pole man.

In this palm, even he felt an unspeakable coercion, as if once he slapped his body, something unimaginable would happen.

"Is it the mastery of the general altar? The power is good, I want it!! ”

Jiang Shi slapped it out casually, and the entire palm was black in an instant, as if it was dyed with ink, and even the space was blackened in an instant.

Talent: Copy!!

Bang!

With an explosion, the ground shook, and the terrifying fluctuations swept in all directions in an instant, and the ground within a radius of tens of meters was shattered at once.

The entire ground was sunk downwards on the spot.

The thin bamboo pole man's face changed, and he directly spurted out a mouthful of blood, broke his arm, let out a miserable snort, and his body flew out upside down on the spot, slammed into the distance, and screamed in pain.

A layer of strange black qi was directly injected into his body by Jiang Shi, quickly infecting half of his body, causing half of his body to be shrouded in black qi, and he directly began to roll in place, in extreme pain.

Black Dragon Exterminator!

How could the other party also be the black dragon exterminator of their main altar?

His heart was full of horror, almost to the point of doubting life.

After Jiang Shi slapped it out with a palm of his hand, the attack of the woman with Danfeng eyes and Elder Liu finally hit hard, seeing Jiang Shi's empty door wide open, the two of them were ecstatic in their hearts, and they slapped it fiercely at once.

The four figures of the woman with Dan Fengyan appeared in four different directions, blasting towards Jiang Shi, and Elder Liu's strange claws grabbed Jiang Shi's face door fiercely.

However, Jiang Shi's body shook slightly, and it was also divided into four.

The pupils of the two people in front of them shrank, and they instantly showed disbelief.

That's impossible!

Four unique clones!

Jiang Shi will actually be the four absolute clones of the main altar?

"Woman, you know what? I've hated the way you speak from the beginning, including now! ”

Jiang Shi's cold and indifferent tone sounded in the ears of the woman with Danfeng eyes, making her eyes widen, and she hurriedly returned her hand, but Jiang Shi's palm had already landed firmly on her body.

With a bang, the woman spurted blood and water, and her body shot out, smashing into the rocks dozens of meters away, smashing all the rocks to pieces.

Elder Liu's face was shocked, and he didn't dare to continue to make a move, but as soon as his body was long, he was about to leave this place quickly.

He was utterly terrified.

Because from beginning to end, Jiang Shi didn't even look at him.

This contempt for him is simply the extreme.

Click!

Suddenly, with a wave of Jiang Shi's palm, a purple thick lightning flew out and landed on Elder Liu's body at once, beating Elder Liu with a scream on the spot, turning over and falling to the ground.

"Ahem, Sect Leader Jiang, you... When have you ever been to the General Altar, how could you be the General Altar's non-transmission of the Absolute Learning [Black Dragon Exterminator]? ”

The thin man coughed up blood in his mouth and asked in horror.

The Black Dragon Extermination Hand is the pinnacle of super-grade martial arts, practiced to the limit, and its power is comparable to that of Xuan-level martial arts!

Even if the main altar has a lot of resources, if you want to learn the [Black Dragon Exterminator], you need great merit points.

At least none of the previous masters of the Black Lotus Holy Sect have been taught.

The Black Lotus Sect has the strongest martial arts, and it can't be compared to the [Black Dragon Exterminator].

"How could I? Naturally, someone taught me! ”

Jiang Shi's tone was cold.

"Someone taught you?"

The man with the thin bamboo pole looked shocked.

Could it be that a master of the general altar has been here and secretly taught Jiangshi?

Otherwise, how could he even learn the four absolute clones?

Even the woman with the phoenix eyes was surprised, vomiting blood, extremely embarrassed, looking up at Jiang Shi, and a little shock instantly appeared in her heart.

Looking at Jiang Shi's calmness when he had just performed the Four Absolute Clones, it was clear that he had been practicing for I don't know how many years.

"Enough, you don't deserve to know the secret of this seat, the three of you want to kill me, I originally wanted to destroy you, but now, I will give you another chance."

Jiang Shi's tone was indifferent, he looked at the three of them, and said, "Surrender to me, and I will spare your lives!" ”

"Surrender to you? Jiang Shi, don't push people too much! ”

The woman with red phoenix eyes spoke angrily.

Click!

Jiang Shi directly waved his palm, and lightning appeared, landing on the woman with Danfeng eyes on the spot, beating her into a scream, and flying upside down again.

"I don't have time to waste with you, if you refuse, you will die!"

He said coldly.

"Wait!"

The thin bamboo pole man hurriedly opened his mouth in a panic, vomiting blood from his mouth, and said, "Sect Master Jiang, can you let us discuss?" ”

"Do I still need to discuss surrender?"

Jiang Shi's eyes were slightly cold.

"No, I'm going to convince them, please give me a chance!"

The man with a thin bamboo pole hurriedly spoke.

"Half a pillar of incense!"

Jiang Shi responded coldly.

"Good!"

The thin bamboo pole man nodded quickly, supported his injured body, and quickly came to the front of the Danfengyan woman and Elder Liu, and with a shake of his body, he took them nearly a hundred meters away.

He first glanced back at Jiang Shi, then his face changed, and he immediately spoke, "Something is wrong, this Jiang Shi's strength is wrong, even the Black Dragon Exterminator and the Four Absolute Clones can be learned, this is definitely someone who has taught him, if you want to learn these two divine skills, you must observe the divine intent, and the divine intent has always been in the hands of the elders in the upper hall, this is by no means something we can provoke, we continue to refuse, even if he kills us, we will die in vain!" ”

"The elders of the upper hall?"

Elder Liu shuddered.

The Heavenly Demon General Altar has a strict hierarchy and many masters, which are divided into [Upper Hall] and [Lower Hall].

The strength of the [Shangtang] is terrifying, and it has always been the core of the main altar, and all kinds of orders of the entire general altar are issued from the [Shangtang], and all the members of the general altar have absolute power over life and death.

And the three of them are just the people of the [lower hall].

When he comes out to do errands, he is quite majestic in the face of people outside, but if he meets the [Shangtang] elder, he is just an inferior person.

Right now, this Jiang Shi can actually have something to do with [Shangtang]?

"Could it be that he learned it somewhere else..."

The woman with phoenix eyes gritted her teeth and spoke, a little unwilling.

But as soon as the words fell, she closed her mouth again.

learned the mastery of the general altar from other places, which even she herself did not believe.

How can the strange learning of the general altar be passed on?

Even if someone spreads it, but there is no divine intent, how can they practice this kind of fire as Jiang Shi?

"Don't guess, at this point, we can only save our lives first, as for who taught him, I will go back to the general altar to investigate in the future, if even the current level is passed, what's the point of saying more."

The man with a thin bamboo pole whispered.

He could see that this Jiang Shi was by no means a soft-hearted person.

The hearts of the two people around them rolled rapidly, and they both nodded slowly, even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Soon.

They squeezed out a smile, turned around, and walked towards Jiang Shi.

"Sect Leader Jiang, misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding before, his subordinate Situ Yan had a lot of collisions before, he really damned it, he is willing to offer [Jin Ling Dan], I hope that Sect Leader Jiang will not remember the villain, and he can let his subordinates go!"

The woman with Dan Feng's eyes squeezed out a smile, her attitude had already turned one hundred and eighty degrees, took out a golden vial, and respectfully gave the vial to Jiang Shi.

"Oh?"

Jiang Shi's face did not move, he glanced at Situ Yan, a woman with Danfeng's eyes, and said lightly, "You still have a heart!" ”

He grabbed it with his fingers and took the pill on the spot.

Although these three people may not really surrender to themselves, it is important to pass the current hurdle first, and it is not too late to find out the news of the general altar in the future.

"It should be, it should be."

Situ Yan laughed again and again.

"Sect Leader Jiang, his subordinates also have heavy treasures to dedicate to the sect leader."

"The subordinates too..."

The man with the thin bamboo pole and Elder Liu also hurriedly spoke.

Through the introduction, Jiang Shi quickly knew their names, they were called Dong Biao and Liu Lu, and they were all masters of the Holy Spirit Realm.

"The Holy Spirit... Holy Spirit... Could it be that there are really so many Holy Spirit-level masters over there at the General Altar? ”

Jiang Shi pondered.

"This..."

The three people in front of them looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"Actually, there are not many Holy Spirit levels in the main altar."

Dong Biao, a man with a thin bamboo pole, opened his mouth to respond, and said, "The reason why there can be a Holy Spirit level master on the side of the main altar is nothing more than relying on various resources, this island is isolated overseas, and the resources are poor, and it has always been used to exile criminals in ancient times, not only lacks blood exchange materials, but also lacks materials that can achieve the Holy Spirit, which is called [Holy Spirit Pill]. ”

"Holy Spirit Pill?"

"Yes, this thing is extremely difficult to practice, and it takes dozens of extremely rare genius earth treasures to be successfully refined, if you want to get enough of these genius earth treasures on this island, it will not take four or five hundred years, it is impossible, and the continent where the main altar is located only needs more than ten years to get together, so relatively speaking, it is easier to achieve the Holy Spirit over there, but it is only relative, after all, no matter how easy it is, it will take more than ten years."

Dong Biao explained.

"It's so hard?"

Jiang Shi frowned.

"Yes, Sect Master Jiang knows how many years the three of us have lived? Dong is not talented, I am 512 years old this year, I am the Holy Spirit who achieved more than a hundred years ago, in the past 100 years, I have received two Holy Spirit Pills, and I just entered the second atavour of the Holy Spirit now, and Situ Yan next to me is also 489 years old, which is about the same time as my achievement of the Holy Spirit. ”

Dong Biao sighed.

Jiang Shi was secretly surprised in his heart.

These guys live a long life!

Or the masters of the whole world generally live long enough!

"Is it really a place where criminals are banished?"

Jiang Shi asked again the doubts in his heart.

"It's true!"

Dong Biao said, "Even some of my Holy Sect Heavenly Demon Patriarch has a part of his clone sealed here. ”

"The clone of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor is sealed here?"

Jiang Shi's eyes flashed.

"Yes."

Dong Biao sighed lightly and said, "It's just that for countless years, no one has been able to break the seal, and no one has been able to find the exact location where the Heavenly Demon Ancestor was sealed. ”

"Okay!"

Some thoughts appeared in Jiang Shi's heart again, and said, "Let's go, follow me back to the residence, you don't have to go anywhere during this time, I have a lot of questions, I need to ask you." ”

"This... Yes, Sect Leader Jiang! ”

The three of them hesitated slightly, but still nodded.

It seems that the [Shangtang] elder who taught him the Black Dragon Exterminator and the Four Absolute Clones has not told him about the outside world.

The three of them said secretly in their hearts.

···

Not much.

Jiang Shi returned to the small courtyard again.

Old Sect Leader Chen Xuantian was taken aback when he saw Jiang Shi appear with the four of them.

But soon Jiang Shi came over and explained.

Chen Xuantian's eyes flashed slightly, he looked at the three of them again, and arched his hand, "Three envoys, please!" ”

"Sect Master Chen is polite."

The three of them returned the salute.

"Sect Master, the three of them will live here temporarily, so they can take care of us, I still have some cultivation problems that have not been solved, and I may have to retreat for a few days."

Jiang Shi spoke.

"Okay, there you go!"

Chen Xuantian nodded.

Jiang Shi glanced at the three of them, and immediately turned to leave.

He didn't worry that this couple would dare to do it privately, Chen Xuantian was far from long, and he was about to die, if they were willing to bury Chen Xuantian, then they could do it as much as they wanted.

Jiang Shi returned to the room, his face was silent, and he looked at the panel in front of him again.

I came back because I still had important things to do.

He wants to fuse the [Mixed Yuan Golden Light Palm] and the [Mighty Collapse Heaven Palm].

In addition, the power of that [Black Dragon Exterminator] was also very powerful, not weaker than the [Mighty Collapse Heaven Palm].

If all three are fused, his strength will definitely be improved.

Jiang Shi immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to use his enlightenment talent.

···

Two days passed.

The outside world was once again in a sensation, making the already violently turbulent Daxuan surging again.

The two unicorns that the Kong clan had been hiding in the snow finally appeared.

Kong Tianri and Kong Xuan are out!

It is said that on the day of leaving the customs, the sound moved ten miles into the sky, and the terrifying fluctuations shattered the snow-capped mountains and collapsed the rivers, causing fluctuations like the end of the world.

And it was only on the day they left the customs that the outside world finally knew that their retreat location had always been in the Northern Zhou Daxue Peak.

From this point of view, Kong's defection to the Northern Zhou seems to have been premeditated!

Otherwise, how dare you send the Qilinzi to the Northern Zhou Snow Peak for retreat?

As soon as these two peerless powerhouses came out of the customs, they learned the news that their family was destroyed, and they looked up to the sky and roared, and they were fierce, and it was said that they were looking for traces of Jiangshi all over the world.
