The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 726 The Heavenly Barrier is amazing! The copper coin trade is so fair!
"combine!!!"

With a roar, the heavens and earth trembled.

The entire painstakingly woven net of runes was pushed upwards against the surging torrent of energy.

Each warp thread, each weft thread, each broken rune chain trembled and stretched, like a ball of silk dancing wildly in the air.

Finally, when the runic net was pushed to be parallel to the gap, both ends of the threads began to vibrate rapidly, emitting a complex and varied resonance.

In that instant, the pale golden humanoid figure shot out millions of rays of light, each one striking a gap in a strand of silk, rapidly combing through the resonating threads and quickly reconnecting the corresponding strands—

connect!

connect!

Reconnect!
With each connection made, the energy flowing across the barrier of heaven and earth surged through the successfully connected channel, spinning rapidly within the net of runic light.
Ten, a hundred, a thousand—when the length of the connection reaches a quarter, the entire runic net is anchored to the barrier of heaven and earth, preventing it from being torn apart.

When it reached halfway, the newly sewn-on rune net lit up, and its color, brightness, and aura became more and more similar to the original part of the barrier between heaven and earth;

When it reaches three-quarters of its full size, the energy surging from the crack becomes smaller and weaker.

It still roared and tore at the net of light, but it could no longer tear it apart, nor could it break through the newly added mesh.

The meridians shone brightly. Five colors of light—blue, red, white, black, and yellow—flowed endlessly, forming a continuous energy cycle that began to greedily absorb the incoming energy and matter, growing ever thicker and heavier.
Along the latitude lines, the runes that were once scattered, such as "seal," "ban," "sever," and "protect," resonate with each other, providing defense and protection for the light network.

The runes such as "Guidance," "Sedimentation," and "Separation," interwoven to form patterns, draw in external energy, creating nodes and energy pools on the light network...

The massive amount of energy from heaven and earth that converges is instantly purified and shaped under these influences, outlining runes, which are then used to create countless energy threads.

A pale golden giant stood in the air, with thousands of golden rays shooting out, like needles and shuttles, quickly connecting.

Like the most skilled weavers repairing the most precious brocade, countless rune threads shuttle, intertwine, knot, and solidify, forming a tough and heavy giant net that rapidly spreads through the cracks in the heavens and earth!
"So fast……"

"Bravo……"

"He really fixed it just like that..."

"The primordial energy of heaven and earth... the primordial energy of heaven and earth has truly become gentler... from now on, our advancement..."

The sirens whispered amongst themselves. Xuan Yuan wanted to rush forward several times to see what was going on, but he was intimidated by their imposing presence and stopped himself each time.

Princess Huan Yue slightly opened her carapace, and a pearl the size of a fist quietly flew out, rose slowly, and projected a dazzling light, attempting to penetrate the seawater.
With a whoosh, Mo Yingjun, relying on his numerous tentacles, severed another one and hurled it forcefully towards the light net—

Ten zhang, one hundred zhang, five li, ten li, twenty li...

It did not expand rapidly, nor did it deform into a bizarre shape, and it did not explode into dust or blood in the seawater with a bang!
"Success!"

"Mr. Shen has really succeeded!"

"Before, when we got close to this point, no, at most halfway, the clone would have already exploded... Now it can actually hold on! Even if we only repair these parts, it's enough! Enough for us to advance!"

However, Shen Le was not satisfied with "just fixing these". He focused intently on drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth, connecting the light net while rapidly repairing the previously damaged and precarious positions.

On the other side of the light network, a torrent of energy, like a monstrous dragon, surged and tore at the ground, spewing out destructive energy.

As the runes on the light network disappeared and the threads broke, new and stronger threads were generated in an instant, according to Shen Le's beliefs, and they were replaced!

How much time has passed?
Shen Le had lost consciousness; perhaps in an instant, perhaps for a century.

Finally, the once hideous and terrifying rift completely disappeared, and a giant, radiant net stood on it.

Shen Le tilted his head slightly and looked out. The barrier between heaven and earth stretched to the horizon, and he could not see the top of it or the edges to the left or right.

At the very bottom, it seems one can see right down to the seabed, but that doesn't mean this magnificent barrier ends there.

Shen Le genuinely suspected that, physically, it could penetrate at least one kilometer deep into the seabed, and spiritually, who knew how deep it could penetrate—maybe it had enveloped the entirety of China…

In short, it's finally finished. Although the newly applied "patch" doesn't quite blend in with the surrounding ancient barrier, it stands resiliently, faithfully fulfilling its duty—

The turbulent, blood-red energy surge vanished. In its place, a much gentler stream seeped from the giant net.

Although these energy flows, like dewdrops, pearls, streams, and springs, are at least 90% less, they still form an energy-rich area relative to the mirage region.

Needless to say, this energy is pure and gentle, spreading out in wisps; just getting close enough to feel its nourishing effect on the body—

That is the power that can truly lift all demons, allowing them to cross the enormous threshold of cultivation and achieve a leap in the essence of their lives!

"It's...it's a success..."

Xuan Yuan completely forgot to move his fins and tail, and like a stone, he sank to the bottom with a thud, being swept far away by the seawater, before hurriedly swimming back.

It was just a chance encounter at sea, and I only invited him to travel with me out of goodwill. How could I possibly repay such a great debt?
This was a question that not only Xuan Yuan was pondering, but every sea monster was thinking about. Wenxiu Gong trembled with excitement, his eight claws curled up into a ball, and he prostrated himself deeply before the enormous, pale golden spiritual entity.

Mo Yingjun, Huan Yueji, and the various sea monsters that followed... all expressed their respect to Shen Le in different ways:
Some bodies rose and fell, like banging their heads.

Some charged back and forth, even banging their heads against the stone wall;

Some clam shells opened and closed, and pearls of all sizes rose up one after another, illuminating the dark depths of the canyon with a dazzling array of colors...

If Shen Le had the energy and the mood, he could probably lie at the entrance of the cave and comfortably enjoy the view, filming videos for hours without getting tired of them.

However, at this moment, he had reached his limit. The pale golden spiritual body surveyed the area around the barrier, confirming that it could find no further areas that needed repair, and then closed its eyes in peace.

Immediately, the spiritual entity transformed into a stream of light, fell instantly, and entered the stone cave.

Yun Kun, understanding the situation, opened a protective circle, allowing his spiritual body to enter. Then, Huang Yutong, who had prepared a separate room for his physical body, and Li Xingtang and the Porcelain Tower, guarding him with their swords… Shen Le finally opened his eyes. In an instant, he felt a wave of weakness wash over him, and he uncontrollably fell backward, catching himself in the timely support of the skirts.

This time, the consumption was truly enormous... not only internal energy, but also the spiritual power carried by the pale golden humanoid figure evolved from the Golden Core.

Even his physical strength, and the little bit of stamina he had painstakingly accumulated through practicing the Five Animal Frolics, was almost completely drained.

When I lowered my head slightly, the skin on the back of my hand looked a bit dull. Could it be that all the water, protein, and sugar have been drawn away?

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived soon. A woman in a pale yellow silk dress held a bamboo tube and eagerly brought it to Shen Le's lips.

Shen Le greedily drank seven or eight mouthfuls, feeling the pure spiritual energy flowing down her throat and continuously nourishing her body. Finally, she sighed contentedly.

"call……"

Before he could finish his sigh, another woman in a pink and white dress brought over various sizes of spiritual fruits, some like cherries and others like pigeon eggs, and stuffed them into Shen Le's mouth one by one.

After seven or eight pieces, soft pastries, sweet jelly, cool and smooth scallop meat, crab legs, shrimp... were served one after another.

The great demons outside the cave were in a panic:
"How is Mr. Shen? How is he? Is he tired? Is he getting supplies? Are those spirits able to take good care of his mother?"
"We brought good stuff too! Eat ours! Eat ours! There are so many good things in the sea!"

Shen Le was unaware of what was happening outside. In fact, after catching his breath, he immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes again:
A surge of heat.

Abundant heat, from the sky, from the ocean, from the land of nothingness, and from the copper plate, surged into his entire body.

The limbs and bones, the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, are like parched land, joyfully receiving the nourishing rain from heaven:

feedback!

He repaired a major breach in the barrier between heaven and earth, accomplishing a great feat. Sure enough, the feedback and reward from heaven and earth came!
Shen Le closed his eyes contentedly, slowly guiding the heat flow into his own power. He had done this many times before, absorbing the gifts of heaven and earth with ample experience, and remained completely calm.
First, it is filling the void. The huge deficit caused by forcibly driving the spiritual body and squeezing the potential of the physical body is being filled at an unprecedented speed.

The depleted dantian and dantian, like a dried-up lakebed receiving endless rain, saw the water level visibly rise, overflow, and even begin to surge and churn.

Then, the pale golden core, which evolved from the golden bead and carried most of his spiritual power, and stretched into a human shape, began to greedily devour this gift of origin.

It was no longer a faint, fleeting, almost transparent humanoid shape, but first it re-condensed, transforming into a golden elixir with what seemed like nebulae flowing inside, and then it rapidly expanded outwards!

As it opened, layer upon layer, light emanated from within the golden core and from the center of the humanoid form:
The five faint lights—green, red, white, black, and yellow—correspond to the five elements of primordial power flowing within the barrier of heaven and earth, expanding and contracting, inhaling and exhaling.

After several transformations, it condensed into the shape of the five internal organs, each in its proper place. The liver belongs to wood, the lungs to metal, the heart to fire, the kidneys to water, and the spleen to earth.

They are mutually generating and mutually restraining, constantly circulating. With each rotation, they attract more primordial energy from heaven and earth to resonate with them and pour into them.

Its body was as smooth and lustrous as jade, with a faint, shimmering light.

His internal energy surged, his dantian and qi sea churned endlessly, and the total amount and quality of his true essence leaped to a new level.

Furthermore, his spiritual power has been greatly enhanced. The pale golden humanoid form, which has only recently been promoted, seems to be able to leap out of the physical body and interact with the world with ease with just a thought.

No more need to cause such a commotion, no more need to carry almost all of my true essence and most of my physical strength.

The next time the pale golden humanoid rises and directly interacts with heaven and earth, the physical body can even absorb and release true essence, giving the spiritual power a more stable anchor and more solid support!

Shen Le smiled slightly. He opened his divine sense slightly and immediately sensed the changes around him.

Yun Kun, the child who protected his physical body in time and used the ship's hull to shield him from external pressure, also received a sufficient share this time.

Even the smallest gift from heaven and earth brought it immense benefits. Unbeknownst to it, layers of dragon scales had somehow grown on the massive wooden hull, making its form even more agile.
As for Huang Yutong, who serves as the second layer of protection, the walls, floor tiles, and even the mud foundation of this ancient house all faintly reveal the luster of beautiful jade.

Li Xingtang stood with his sword in hand, his figure as upright as a pine tree. His ancient armor, which had undergone rust removal and forging, shone with a warm and restrained luster.

At a glance, it's clear that this iron armor, passed down from the Tang Dynasty, has been transformed from ordinary wrought iron into precious spiritual gold...

Each little creature received a small share, more or less. Even if it wasn't much, it still brought about a fundamental improvement, making their foundation more solid and their spirituality more abundant.

Outside the cave, a large group of sea monsters held their breath, peering out anxiously, their hearts pounding with unease.
Why can't they retain even a tiny bit?

Even just a tiny bit!
If they could become Mr. Shen's disciples, no, even if they were just cave-guarding servants, even if they were just like when the Dragon Palace was still there, serving in the palace, they wouldn't be trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water and ending up with nothing!

After an unknown amount of time, the surging energy tide within the cave finally subsided. Shen Le slowly opened his eyes:

"call……"

Cool!
So cool!
This was a huge profit! Although it was tiring and the process was a bit thrilling, it was incredibly lucrative!

Sure enough, whether it's a copper sheet or a natural barrier, it's always fair and will never be used for nothing!
He straightened his clothes and strode outside. Huang Yutong cooperated by opening the gate, and Yun Kun followed by narrowing the gunwale of the boat to open a path, "spitting" him out of the boat;

Immediately afterwards, it shrank to a foot in length, swayed its body, and followed Shen Le, wobbling as it floated out of the cave.
As soon as they stepped out of the cave, a massive wave of emotions—a mixture of excitement, awe, and gratitude—rushed towards them. The sirens instantly stirred:

"Mr. Shen!"

"Mr. Shen is out!"

"Mr. Shen is well!"

Xuan Yuan's enormous body twisted back and forth rapidly; if it weren't underwater, it would have been performing a series of leaps and waves.

The embroidered octopus lay prone on the ground, scratching wildly, and had already carved eight three-bedroom-one-living-room shapes out of the hard canyon rock.
When Princess Huan Yue opens and closes her clam shell, colorful light radiates from within. If she were to move it even slightly, the dark underwater canyon would probably turn into a disco.

Mo Yingjun's tentacles waved and formed clusters of afterimages:

"Mr. Shen, you have done us a great favor!"
