However, Zhou Yang could only slowly fuse the power of thunder and lightning with sky fire at this time, and did not dare to directly fuse real thunder and lightning. Of course, there is no real thunder and lightning at the moment, so it would require thunder and rain.

But he believes that one day he will face thunder and lightning in person and merge them.

This is a huge breakthrough. Others would have already entered the realm of Tianyuan, but Zhou Yang has not. He is still slowly accumulating.

This is not the original intention, it is because the opportunity for breakthrough has not yet been reached.

He also thought about taking Tianyuan Pill and Enlightenment Pill to assist in breaking through, but since he noticed something special in the secret realm, he gave up this plan and left it until he actually found the land of fire or metal.

.

The gains he made in the past three days were huge. The power of the flames he fired was comparable to ordinary top-grade magic weapons. It was originally the lowest level of Taoism, but it completely changed its appearance after his hands. Its power is no less than that of the intermediate and high-grade Taoism.

It's a technique.

Over the course of several years, from the time when he first broke through to the early stage of the Spiritual Platform, he had an inseparable affection for fire. Until now, his fire technique has finally broken away from the low-level level and is close to the ordinary high-level Taoist skills.

This is a pioneering work for him, and there may be people with fire attributes who can do it better than him, but he has never seen anyone do this, at least not among the people he comes into contact with.

In addition to a limited number of Taoist arts, fire spells can already be ranked first.

Ranked second is the Glimpse of Lightsword, which is a big killer, a sneak attack weapon.

Now that he has the powerful and fundamentally changed fire technique, he has one more way to save his life.

After tidying up, Zhou Yang finally walked out of the cave.

When the training came to an end, he grilled some animal meat again, ate and drank a lot, and then began to make preparations for shipbuilding.

Of course Zhou Yang has never built a ship, but he has seen boats sailing and seen the appearance of ships up close.

Not only that, he also read some records about shipbuilding in some idle classics, but his memory was not very deep.

Of course, he didn't know the details of the ship's internal structure, and it would take time to figure it out.

In fact, the simplest thing is to make a raft. Just connect some cut tree trunks and then make a long pole for pulping.

But what he wanted to cross was a sea, not an ordinary river, and he also had to face the threat of many sea beasts. It would be impossible without a sturdy boat.

In addition, long poles are not suitable in the sea, so it is best to make a sail.

The first step in building a ship is to draw a structural diagram and calculate the approximate materials to be used. Zhou Yang knew this and revised several drafts before it was completed.

The second step is to select materials. Find trees of moderate thickness and cut them into pieces to make boards for later use.

Then we need to find some vines to make thick ropes, and then use the hair of monsters to make thin ropes.

Real shipbuilding requires the use of nails. Zhou Yang did not have nails, but he had animal bones.

The bones of the fourth-level high-level monsters are very hard, some of which are comparable to iron and stone. It is no problem to use a top-grade magic weapon-level sword to cut the bones into bone nails.

String is not a problem either. There are many kinds of monsters in his storage bag, and there are also many with long hair. It is very convenient to make string.

Not only that, he also peeled off the skins of some monster beasts and hung them on branches to dry for later use.

The materials are ready, and the next step is to put the boards together.

The most important thing in piecing together is to first make the keel of the ship. The quality of the keel determines whether the ship is strong or not, so the best wood must be used.

Then there are the ribs, which are the brackets. The bracket is also very important. The combination of the bracket and the keel is very particular. Some places need to fit, and some places need to be nailed. This belongs to the carpentry category among craftsmen.

Zhou Yang didn't know carpentry, but he was forced to do it. He had to learn it now, otherwise he wouldn't be able to cross the sea.

The three steps of breaking the board, dividing the board, and assembling the board took Zhou Yang four days to complete.

After the keel and ribs were connected, it was time to piece together the boards. This process required a lot of bone nails and strings and took three days.

The next step is to make the sail.

The installation of the ribs for the mast part has been completed, and now the main work is to make the sail.

The material of the sail was naturally animal skin. He folded the skins one by one, then cut them with knives and sewed them with animal bones.

This part took Zhou Yang a relatively long time and required several reworks before it was completed.

In fact, until now, he doesn't know what else he needs. Anyway, he just wants to make up for what is missing.

In this way, I built the boat during the day and practiced at night. It took thirteen days to finally build a small boat with two pointed ends and a wide middle, one foot long and seven or eight feet long, and about nine feet wide.

Zhou Yang looked at his masterpiece and kept nodding. He was very satisfied with his craftsmanship, and then he couldn't wait to drag the boat into the water.

However, after putting the boat into the water, he was dumbfounded. Water gurgled up from the cabin, and in a short time, half of the boat was filled.

There was too much water, and the boat naturally sank. Zhou Yang hurriedly grabbed the boat and dragged it to the shore. He sat on the shore dejectedly and breathed heavily.

"This boat is not bad, but why is it wet?" Zhou Yang said to himself with a grimace.

In order to make these wooden boards compact and without gaps in the middle, he slowly cut them out piece by piece with a knife, which took a lot of effort.

In fact, there is still an important step in shipbuilding that he has not completed, and that is oiling and sealing.

Under normal circumstances, it must be painted with lime first without leaving a gap to ensure that the boat is not exposed to water. However, it must be brushed again with tung oil and allowed to dry before use.

Even if Zhou Yang knew this, there was nothing he could do. He had neither tung oil nor lime.

Zhou Yang circled the boat, staring worriedly at the gaps where water was seeping.

Suddenly, something moved in his heart, and he turned his head and looked back.

A messy figure appeared in his sight, with unkempt hair, ragged clothes, and bloodstains all over his body, rushing from the foot of the mountain to the seaside.

Although the visitor's inner breath was disordered, he faintly exuded the aura that only a Tianyuan master could have.

If it weren't for Zhou Yang's super strong consciousness and eyesight, he wouldn't have been able to recognize him for a moment. This guy turned out to be Cui Kai!

As they got closer, Cui Kai also spotted Zhou Yang, and he was overjoyed and hurried forward.

"Captain, I finally see you!" Cui Kai's voice was full of tears, which clearly showed his previous situation.

"Cui Kai! Where have you been? Why are you in such a mess?" Zhou Yang supported Cui Kai, asked him to sit down, and then took out a bottle of wine from the storage bag and handed it to him.

Cui Kai took a big gulp of wine, took a long breath, and then said: "Oh, it's hard to explain in words!"

It turned out that after they dispersed from the entrance to the secret realm, Cui Kai went on the road alone, climbed several mountains, and killed some monsters. Although there were dangers along the way, it was still smooth.

He has an earthy constitution and can adapt to the gravity of the earth very quickly. He has an innate advantage in the situation of multiple gravity in the secret realm.

Later, I accidentally entered a piece of undulating and cracked land. This land was vast and boundless, and the power of the earth attribute was very strong.

Cui Kai couldn't help but be ecstatic when he saw the khaki continent.

As a person with an earthy constitution, he could tell at a glance that if he cultivated in the earth, he would quickly break through to the realm of Tianyuan.

However, as soon as he set foot there, he was attacked. It was not a monster or anything else, but an attack from the earth.

On the ground, sometimes earth spears formed and stabbed at him, sometimes they turned into huge boulders and hit him, knocking him unconscious all at once.

If it weren't for the high-grade inner armor and the best magic shield to protect him, he would have to confess there.

After barely escaping from the land, Cui Kai also understood that it was a restriction, but he didn't know whether it was natural or man-made.

Not only was he not frightened, but he was extremely happy.

Those restrictions all use earth as the medium of attack. They are the restrictions formed by using the rules of earth, which are of great help to him in understanding the rules of earth.

However, the restrictions there are very strong and the attack power is very strong. It is extremely difficult to enter the earth.

Then he tried to enter little by little, and made some progress, and his understanding of the rules of earth gradually deepened.

Finally, after a few days, he was able to enter a distance of ten feet from the earth, and he could resist the attacks caused by the restriction with his earth magic.

After taking the Tianyuan Pill and the Enlightenment Pill for more than ten days, he spent more than ten days repeatedly breaking the ban and realizing, and finally broke through the realm of Tianyuan.

However, the good times did not last long, as he made a big breakthrough and drew out the monsters from the depths of the earth, many of whom were at the fifth level.

With his realm still unstable, he was no match for the fifth-level monster, not to mention there was more than one, so he had no choice but to escape in a hurry.

It seemed that he had run out of luck. Ever since he escaped from that place, he had been hunted.

Not just monsters, but also cultivators.

The cultivators chasing him were mainly disciples of Bai Zongshan, followed by people from Taiqing Sect and Dashun Trading Company.

Of course, the disciples of the Taiqing Sect and the Dashun Trading Company were also in a miserable situation later on. After being discovered by the factions in Bai Zong Mountain, they attacked in groups, but failed to succeed. A melee between multiple factions emerged in the secret realm.

Cui Kai's state has not been stabilized until recently. He found a secluded place and meditated for several days, and finally stabilized his state.

However, as soon as he came out of seclusion, he encountered two level five monsters. After a big battle, Cui Kai was injured and escaped.

This escape lasted for four or five days. He could not tell the difference between east, west and north. He ran all the way until he met Zhou Yang.

"Although your boy is a little miserable, you are still better than me. I survived almost nine deaths along the way, but there is no sign of a breakthrough. Although you have been hunted repeatedly, you finally broke through. It is worth it.

Congratulations. Come on, let me give you a toast!" Zhou Yang raised the wine bottle and said.

He was very interested in the restriction mentioned by Cui Kai, but there were powerful high-level monsters there and it was not advisable to go there before breaking through Tianyuan.

"Congratulations! What's the use of a breakthrough? It's not like being driven out like a lost dog!" Cui Kai took another sip of wine and said with a bitter face.
Chapter completed!
