Chapter 147 Water Dividing Altar Water Adaptation Method (8000)
That's right, it's the progress bar.
On the edge of the river, Xu Bai stood above, staring at the simple yet huge building below, with excitement in his eyes.
Although the water here has dried up, it is still a little damp, but the progress bar floating on the building makes him feel unusually eye-catching.
The progress bar can't be stimulated by books alone, which can be seen from the first time he was in the Tiger Village.
Now there are no clues, and he can only rely on Kong Xu to tell fortunes. This doesn't matter. The important thing is the new progress bar, which is the biggest gain for him.
The progress bar is in the water, maybe it is related to the water. If he guessed correctly, it is really related to the water, then Lin Yong's life may not be easy in the future.
At the beginning, Lin Yong's so-called reliance was because he could move freely in the water, and if Xu Bai went into the water, his combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced, so this was Lin Yong's arrogant capital.
But now it's different. If this progress bar can really comprehend skills related to water, the so-called arrogant capital will disappear.
At that time, Xu Bai could jump into the water and blow Lin Yong's dog head off.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai rubbed his hands, looked at the distance, and jumped directly from the edge of the river bank.
This height has no effect on his current strength.
As he jumped down, he heard the whistling wind in his ears, and soon, he had landed steadily at the bottom of the river.
The river bottom was a bit slippery, but it had no effect on Xu Bai. After he jumped into the river, the head of the Ye family looked at each other, followed Xu Bai, and came to the dry river bottom.
Although they didn't understand why Xu Bai jumped down, it was always right to follow behind, so they came down without hesitation.
After Xu Bai came down, he walked directly towards the huge building. When he walked to the edge of the building, he found that he was still some distance away from the progress bar.
When looking from a high place, the progress bar is above the building, and there must be nothing related to the progress bar on the edge, and even the progress bar is blocked.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai exerted force with his legs, and his body jumped high, like a soaring eagle, landing steadily on the top of the building.
The progress bar appeared in front of him again, and Xu Bai, who was standing on the roof, did not hesitate and walked over quickly.
From time to time, there was a gust of wind around. After all, it was very deep here, there was no water, and it was normal to have wind in the wilderness.
The wind that blew from time to time, mixed with the unique coldness of the river bottom, was like a steel knife scraping bones, passing through Xu Bai, but Xu Bai was unaware and came to the progress bar step by step.
The golden progress bar was particularly dazzling, and after crossing the golden progress bar, Xu Bai discovered that there were several strange patterns under the golden progress bar.
He couldn't understand what the pattern was, but it didn't mean that Ye Zi couldn't understand it.
Ye Zi had been following Xu Bai all the time. When she and Xu Bai came to the roof together and saw the words left on it, she couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Sir, it's demon writing."
Hearing this, Xu Bai turned his head to look at Ye Zi next to him and said, "What do these demon writings mean?"
Humans have their own writing, and demons must have their own writing. These are two parallel principles.
But Xu Bai didn't know it. After all, he had just entered this circle for a short time. It would be strange if he knew it, so he asked.
Ye Zi walked closer and carefully identified it for a while, then said: "Water Dividing Altar."
After saying this, Xu Bai didn't react much. It was the first time he heard it, but Kong Xu behind Xu Bai's face changed and he couldn't help shouting out.
"What, Water Dividing Altar?"
Xu Bai frowned and said, "What is this? Is it very famous?"
Water Dividing Altar?
Never heard of it.
Kong Xu came back to his senses and said, "I have heard of this name before. It is said that when the human race and the demon race were fighting, the demon race was beaten to a pulp by the human race and was in a state of panic, so they were completely like rats crossing the street at that time."
"The demon race once ruled this land, but with the gradual development of the human race, they took the initiative in this world. If anyone were a demon, they would feel unbearable, so this huge psychological gap made them have a serious revenge mentality."
"Some of the demons wanted to die together, so they set up the Five Elements Demon Altar Town, which is divided into five types: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. If successful, it will be as easy as pie to exterminate human masters."
"And this water-dividing altar is one of them. It is just one of the Five Elements Demon Altar Array, but it has been destroyed. It seems that what we see now should be a fake."
With Kong Xu's explanation, Xu Bai also figured out what was going on now.
Fake?
Related to water?
It doesn't matter, as long as it's related to water, he will definitely work on this progress bar.
Xu Bai touched his chin and secretly thought about what to do next.
Should he work on it here, or take it down? There are still some rules to follow.
Before, when Xu Bai met the female master, she left a palm print on the tree, and he also got Dou Zhuan Xing Yi from it.
At that time, he did not dig the bark of the tree, just to preserve the integrity of the progress bar.
After all, he had not tried to see if digging it out would make the progress bar disappear.
This was not something he needed to gamble on, and there was no need to gamble, so after thinking for a long time, Xu Bai still did not plan to take this thing away, but to stay here to work on it.
"You go back first, I'll be the only one there." Xu Bai said.
Everyone was stunned.
They were a little confused about what Xu Bai was thinking.
In this place, a fake was found, and there were indeed many things worth thinking about.
The other party was a monster in the water, and this place happened to be related to water, and a fake was created.
It seems that the other party's actions will definitely not be small actions, but there is no need to stay here all the time. Without clues, it would be useless to stay here.
But now that the conversation has come to this, no one wants to ask. After all, it is better to not know some things than to know them. The less you know, the safer you will be.
Ye Zi is very well-behaved and sensible. She knows that the master must have some ideas for not letting her stay here, so she did not force herself to stay.
Kong Xu asked: "Master Xu, do you want to tell your fortune now?"
Xu Bai nodded and said: "Let's tell your fortune first. After the calculation, you can leave directly. By the way, you still need to arrange for someone to send me some food and drink during this period of time."
Kong Xu agreed and began to take the objects he used for fortune-telling and carefully calculate.
This time he did not use a compass, but took out a tube for drawing lots.
Xu Bai did not understand what skills or subtleties there were in fortune-telling.
But since Kong Xu wanted to change a method, he must have his own ideas, so Xu Bai did not interfere.
There were many wooden sticks in the lottery bucket. Kong Xu shook it for a while and shook a stick to the ground. When he picked it up, his face changed slightly.
"It's strange. It was a very bad omen before, why is it turning to a good omen now?" Kong Xu raised his hand and scratched his head, expressing his confusion.
To talk about the way of fortune-telling, it is extremely complicated just from the hexagram.
Kong Xu has seen things that change from a bad omen to a good omen.
After all, any small thing will cause huge changes, but the current situation is that the only things that cause huge changes are the few evil words in front of him.
Apart from this, there is nothing else. Are these evil words not simple?
Kong Xu carefully looked at the special words in front of him, but he still found nothing after looking at them for a long time, and even felt that they were very ordinary.
"Don't worry about the hexagram anymore. What I want is a clue." Xu Bai said.
A bad omen turns to a good omen?
Others don't understand what the reason is, but Xu Bai looks at the golden progress bar in front of him and understands the meaning.
Judging from the situation, the content in the progress bar should not be much different from what he imagined. At that time, it will definitely be an excellent means to defeat the enemy.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai became more and more excited.
Kong Xu knew that his old problem had come back after Xu Bai said this. After all, as a fortune teller, he must first calculate a good or bad luck, and fell into a kind of occupational disease.
He put the lottery bucket away again. Next, he did not take anything, just raised his index fingers.
There was a faint glow on his body, emerging, and at the same time, fine sweat appeared on his forehead. The temperature at this time was lower than usual. After all, it was under the river, but Kong Xu was fortune-telling, and the load on his body was increasing.
After about an incense stick of time, Kong Xu opened his eyes and put his hands on the ground.
The faint light intertwined in his hands, and finally gathered into a word, falling on the ground not far away.
—— Gui.
Just this simple word seemed to have drained all of Kong Xu's strength. Kong Xu stood up with the help of Elder Sun, his face pale.
"Lord Xu, I didn't see their specific location, but I calculated their ultimate goal, which is very similar to the word in front of me." Kong Xu said with a weak and pale face.
Xu Bai stared at the word "weird", his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Weird?
Weird?
Or something else?
It's hard to associate it with anything else from just the word "weird".
"Lord Xu, it's all my fault. They probably erased a lot of things when they left, but they left in a hurry, leaving some clues, but these clues are not complete. I can only see this." Kong Xu said ashamedly.
Xu Bai said: "Don't blame yourself too much. It's good enough to find a little clue. Okay, you go first, I still need to think about it here."
If it were normal, he might still fall into a bottleneck, after all, he still needs to find other clues.
But now it's different. With the progress bar, he can finish the work first, and maybe he can make a qualitative breakthrough after finishing it.
If he can improve his underwater combat power, the opponent will have nowhere to hide.
At that time, he will rush forward and search along the river. He can always find the opponent, and once he finds him, Xu Bai will not leave him alive.
"Yes!"
Everyone heard Xu Bai's order and understood it, so they didn't stay here and turned around and left.
"Sir, if you need me to come, call me." Ye Zi said.
Xu Bai nodded, and after they all left, he turned around and sat cross-legged on the roof, staring at the progress bar above.
The golden progress bar was growing slowly. He estimated that the grade of this progress bar should not be low.
Everything had to slow down until he finished the work.
Time passed, gradually alternating, night replaced day, the noise quietly slipped away, and silence covered the earth again.
Xu Bai, who was sitting by the river, just sat there quietly, his eyes never stopped, like an emotionless sculpture, the moonlight sprinkled on his body, covering a layer of white light.
The fourth-grade puppet was quietly guarding by the side, everything was normal.
...
Of course, everything was normal only here with Xu Bai, far away from Xu Bai, a place at the bottom of the river was making a noise at the moment.
At the bottom of the river, there was an antique building.
The building was wrapped by a huge bubble, and from time to time there were bubbles sinking from the river surface, exchanging the air inside.
This building was extremely vast, and there were hundreds of people standing in the building.
These people either had monsters wrapped around their waists or on their shoulders. In short, they were very scary, with a posture of a group of demons dancing wildly.
Lin Yong sat on the chair, his face full of anger, his right hand clenched into a fist and placed on the armrest of the chair. At this moment, his state looked very gloomy, just short of a rage.
He was very angry. Not long ago, some of his spies knew what Xu Bai was doing.
After all, Xu Bai was going to do those things, so it must be a big deal, so it is not difficult to know.
Although he didn't understand Xu Bai's main purpose of collecting those things at that time, he finally ran away with everyone.
It's better to be cautious. A rabbit has three holes. Run first and then talk about it.
But no matter what, he ran away again, and he must be in a very bad mood.
Zhao Yin, the governor of Fengling Mansion, saw Lin Yong's expression and said, "Those who achieve great things should not be obsessed with trivial matters. If you can't even bear this little grievance, how can you accomplish real great things? How can you take revenge?"
The men around were all silent, and obviously, they didn't dare to speak at this moment.
On Zhao Yin's shoulder, there was a turtle lying, and the eyes of the turtle were shining with a cold light.
"Grievance?" Lin Yong turned his head suddenly, as if he had found the source of his anger. He clenched his hands tighter and said, "Do you think it's just a little grievance? That place was about to be built, and now we have to start all over again. If we could drag all the people in the Water Festival into the water, we could summon it out."
As he spoke, Lin Yong stood up, pointed his finger at Zhao Yin's forehead, and said angrily, "Because of you, you insisted on letting me deal with Xu Bai openly. I said I couldn't do that."
As he spoke, Lin Yong put down his hands and walked back and forth.
Words came out of his mouth one after another. If Xu Bai heard it here, he would definitely sigh. Lin Yong's original plan was indeed very high.
"I told you not to get in touch with him. You know how those people died in the last few places."
"As long as you don't get in touch with him and do your own things quietly, after the success, he will be killed by that existence."
"But you insist on looking for him and assassinating him. Isn't that courting death?"
There was a kind of anger towards the stupid teammates in his tone. Obviously, he felt that he was cheated.
Indeed, if he didn't go to find Xu Bai, there would not even be any wind. Xu Bai would not be able to follow these clues and find them here.
By then, even if there were no clues, they would have been dead.
Zhao Yin was sitting calmly, but after hearing Lin Yong's accusation, his temper also rose. He stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yong's collar, with flames in his eyes.
"Do you think I want to do this? You said to summon that existence, it is true, it can make Xu Bai die, but what about us, hundreds of us can't escape either."
"Ask the people present, who is willing to do such a thing of mutual destruction? Only you are willing, we are not willing!"
The subordinates had their heads down, and after hearing what Zhao Yin said, some of them couldn't help shivering, and some even opened their mouths, wanting to agree with Zhao Yin's statement, but when the words came to their lips, they swallowed them alive.
Who wants to die when they can live?
Who doesn't want to live well?
Only crazy people like Lin Yong would think of a way to die together, they really don't want to.
Lin Yong was stunned for a moment, obviously unable to react to the scolding.
But he soon reacted, grabbed Zhao Yin's collar with his backhand, and brought him in front of him in the same way.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Lin Yong no longer had the demeanor of a family head, and cursed: "We are demon masters, descendants of demon masters. How did we fight them back then? Have you forgotten! Ah? Now I'm scared to death!"
At this time, Zhao Yin calmed down. He slapped Lin Yong's hand away, returned to the chair, crossed his legs, and his face became extremely calm.
"Lin Yong, that's all in the past. Now I can find a way to get rid of the emperor's capable subordinate. It's already my nostalgia for the old times. There's no need to get myself involved."
Lin Yong was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a while, he sat down on the ground with a dejected look on his face, looking very lost.
"I'll tell you the truth. I didn't intend to let everyone die during the Water Festival. I just wanted to drag Xu Bai into the water and kill him by taking advantage of his lack of underwater ability." Zhao Yin said slowly.
As if it wasn't enough, he added fuel to the fire, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Lin Yong.
"You can ask these people whether they are willing to die generously or continue to live. There is only one life, and it is not for the so-called old feelings." Zhao Yin continued.
As he finished speaking, the people around him also raised their heads, and these men took a step back.
Although no one spoke, the meaning was already very clear.
They didn't want to die, they wanted to live!
Dealing with Xu Bai was just a matter of course. If it couldn't be done, they wouldn't use the method of dying together that Lin Yong said.
Lin Yong turned his head and looked around. When he saw the actions of his men, he became even more confused.
"Are you going to give up?"
He couldn't figure out why everything had changed so much overnight?
Zhao Yin stood up again, walked to Lin Yong, and said condescendingly: "The facts prove that we have failed. Don't struggle anymore. I will leave in a few days and take them with me. There is always a place for us to survive in this big world."
"Why not leave now?" Lin Yong raised his head, and the confusion in his eyes was quietly disappearing, replaced by a kind of enlightenment: "You want the wreckage of the water-dividing altar."
Zhao Yin nodded and said: "You are right, you are the son of the master of the water-dividing altar, so I need a few days to refine you and take out the wreckage. With it, we, the water demon masters, can live."
"You are dreaming!" Lin Yong clenched his fists and prepared to stand up to resist.
But before he could get up, the men behind him attacked together, and all kinds of attacks came like a tidal wave.
He was not Xu Bai, and he did not have the strength to fight a hundred people. He was seriously injured in an instant, and his whole body was unable to move.
"You are simply a traitor. You are a member of my water division. Now you dare to do such a thing. If you die, how can you face those seniors!" Lin Yong only had one mouth to speak, and he roared.
Zhao Yin smiled and said, "After a person dies, there is nothing left. By the way, it may become weird, but it doesn't matter anymore. I just want to live well now."
"Old turtle, it's up to you."
On his shoulder, the cold old turtle retracted its limbs and head into the turtle shell, jumped off his shoulder, and its body suddenly became larger. In a blink of an eye, it had become half the size of a house.
A moment later, Lin Yong, who was lying on the ground, felt a suction force and was sucked into the turtle shell in a blink of an eye. The huge old turtle slowly rotated on the ground, and bursts of screams came from the turtle shell.
"Everyone." Zhao Yin looked at his men beside him and said, "Just wait for a few days. Don't cause trouble these days. Xu Bai doesn't dare to go into the water, so don't provoke him. Just wait until I refine him, and then we will leave here.
With the remains of the water-dividing altar, we can kill ordinary people and feed our demons, and then use the remains to escape. Isn't it better?"
No one dared to say anything, and nodded in agreement.
In this huge building, there was no other sound except Lin Yong's screams.
...
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
In the intercepted Xunle River, at this moment, Xu Bai was sitting on the roof, looking at the progress bar on it seriously.
The fourth-grade puppet stood next to it, guarding it seriously and monotonously.
During this period of time, Xu Bai had been working on the progress bar except for eating and sleeping, and even eating and sleeping were spent on this roof.
He was waiting, waiting for the progress bar to be complete, waiting for the imagined technique to appear, and then he would attack with this technique.
During these few days, Ye Zi came once to bring food to Xu Bai.
If it was normal, Ye Zi would not come here after receiving Xu Bai's order, but he came with news.
A Si Zheng came to the Jiantian Division. After learning about this incident, he did not say anything, but just said that His Majesty would arrange new officials to take office again.
This news was of no use to Xu Bai. Originally, Ye Zi did not need to come to explain it to Xu Bai, but before Si Zheng left, he took out something and asked her to bring it to Xu Bai.
This was a piece of wood, about one meter high, with Xu Bai's appearance engraved on it.
It was engraved so vividly that it was just like Xu Bai was printed on it. Ye Zi was very surprised at the time. After asking, he learned that this was obtained by Si Zheng in the wild.
He didn't know what the use was, but it looked like Xu Bai, so Si Zheng thought about it and brought it here. Anyway, it was on the way, so Ye Zi handed it over to Xu Bai.
At that time, Xu Bai was particularly interested. When he saw the wood carving, he was stunned, because there was a progress bar on the wood carving, and watching the progress of the progress bar was a high-quality skill.
As for what this wood carving is and who made it, he didn't know.
This made people feel particularly confused. Xu Bai was very happy that a progress bar appeared inexplicably, but when he thought about what was behind it, he felt that he couldn't be happy.
After thinking about it, Xu Bai decided to ignore the wood carving for the time being and concentrate on the progress bar in front of him. After all, he still needed skills related to water.
As for the wood carving...
It won't move if it is placed here. Although it is more than half a meter high, it will stay by your side anyway, so there is no need to worry about it falling.
After this period of hard work, Xu Bai finally filled up the progress bar in front of him.
Light blue text appeared in the air, gathered into a line of text, and appeared in front of Xu Bai.
[You observe the water-dividing altar (imitation) and comprehend the water-adapting method. ]
This time, there was no new fusion situation, after all, there was no related skills.
Soon, the light blue text turned into information and drilled into Xu Bai's mind.
Xu Bai closed his eyes and digested all the information in his mind before opening them again.
The latest attributes appeared in front of him.
[Name: Xu Bai. ]
[Realm: Third-rank Wanderer. ]
[Five Styles of Yi Dao (Level 7): Full Level. ]
[Reversing the Yin and Yang of Zi Xiao Gang Feng (Level 7.5): Full Level. ]

[Water Adaptation Technique (Level 5): Full Level. ]
[Comprehension: Full Level. 】
…
“Only level 5…” Xu Bai was slightly disappointed.
As a person, you naturally want to move up, and so do your vision. In the past, he would be happy for a long time if he got a low-level skill, but now level 5 is commonplace in front of him.
But it’s okay, at least it’s a skill, and it plays an important role for him.
Water adaptation, as the name suggests, is to adapt to water.
With this skill, he can breathe freely, not only that, but also allow all his skills to play their due role.
Skills above level 5 can play their full effect underwater.
And skills below level 5 can play twice the power.
The key point is behind, skills below level 5 can play twice the power, which means that his low-level skills have undergone a qualitative change.
It’s right to think about it, after all, it’s only a level 5 skill, and it can make skills below level 5 play twice the power, which is already very good.
Unfortunately, it can only be used in water. If it were on land, he would be really happy.
Of course, Xu Bai still has other ideas.
"You can do this in the future. When you encounter enemies, you can pull them into the water to fight." Xu Bai touched his chin. With his clear mind, he soon came up with a new battle plan.
If you think about it carefully, this battle plan is quite perfect.
Do you want to experience my ability in my heyday? If you want, go to the water to fight with me.
Perfect!
Xu Bai stood up from the ground, clenched his fists, and his eyes showed excitement.
He looked at the wood carving on the side. For the time being, he did not go to the progress bar of the wood carving, nor did he think about who the progress bar belonged to, let alone why it looked exactly like him.
These things are not the most important. The most important thing is...
Lin Yong.
Fu Ling.
You are finished.
The wood carving was tied to the back of the fourth-grade puppet with a rope, along with the nameless sword scriptures.
Xu Bai did not leave immediately, but returned to the Ye family with the fourth-grade puppet.
He handed the package and the wood carving to Ye Zi, asking her to keep it well, and left the fourth-grade puppet here to guard it.
Can the nameless sword scripture be touched by water? He didn't know. If it was damaged by water, he would really lose money.
After doing all this, Xu Bai did not let others follow him, after all, these people did not have the ability to fight underwater.
He raised his feet and walked towards Xunle River.
Ye Zi looked at Xu Bai's leaving figure, always feeling that someone was going to be unlucky.
...
Xunle River.
Zhao Yin was refining Lin Yong.
Only one day left, as long as one more day, he could refine Lin Yong and make the remains of the water-dividing altar inside appear.
Lin Yong is not dead yet, as long as the remains of the water-dividing altar are not refined, he will not die.
At this moment, Zhao Yin was not distracted, and even asked his men to stay outside to avoid disturbing him.
He could feel that Lin Yong was close to the edge of collapse.
"I'm going to succeed." Zhao Yin thought to himself.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
He seemed to have seen the future days, which were waving at him, and he would live better and better.
"Speed up! As long as I refine it, I can escape, and who will care about Xu Bai's affairs?"
With this thought, Zhao Yin couldn't help but speed up a bit.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard a hint of abnormality in his ears.
The sound seemed to be a fight, and it was in the water.
In the water?
"What's going on?" Zhao Yin was stunned, his face was dull.
