Half a month later.
Clear salty water had already begun to trickle out of the small hole in the pine tree's gnarled bark, indicating that the outside Kunlun High Plateau and Fenbao Rock had been completely submerged by the rising sea levels.

Xu Yinglian came to the side of the pine tree and asked:
"How much longer until the secret realm is completely filled with water?"
"Probably about twenty days," Qiu Changtian replied. "But even if the secret realm is submerged, it won't affect our survival."
"The real threats are still the stars outside and the heavenly demons."
A falling star is certain death, but in places with good visibility, it's possible to evade them effectively ahead of time.
