Yuantian

Within the body of the ruined mountain, five figures gathered here, and the invisible formation shrouded them, covering up their auras and preventing them from leaking out.

All five of them have dominant auras.

Most of those who invaded the Nine Ruins of Chaos were Dharmakaya Source Bodies, so naturally they were just masters. However, their deities were at least at the saint level.

That's right, most of the people wandering in the Nine Ruins of Chaos are actually saints.

True saint? It's a minority.

However, because the source of the Dharmakaya seems to have the life breath, it is difficult to tell whether it is a saint or a true saint from the outside.

"Can you tell what grade it is?"

"It should be a middle-grade innate spirit treasure, or maybe a high-grade innate spirit treasure?" The black-armored figure in the lead said in a low voice. He had four arms and his lower body was like a tiger.

At first glance, it looks like half a tiger.

The other four people have different shapes, but what they have in common is that they look half-human and half-animal.

"High-grade innate spiritual treasure? Could it be a true saint?" A strong man couldn't help but ask: "Is it a strong man from my Nine Desolate Universes?"

"no!"

"I didn't sense the breath of the token." The black-armored leader shook his head and said: "It must be a strong man from other universes... Judging from the flight speed, the probability of it being a top-grade innate spiritual treasure warship is very low."

Among the nine universes, except for the central universe, which is divided into dozens of forces, the other eight universes are completely unified and form a complete alliance.

The powerful people within the Eight Realm Alliance may not be in harmony, but at least when they are wandering in the sea of ​​​​regions, there will not be direct internal strife.

"It's a pity that the warship is covering up the aura, so it's hard to tell who it is." The black-armored leader hesitated.

The other four people looked at each other. They heard what the captain meant and wanted to test each other.

If they are weak, they will kill people and seize treasures.

"Boss, if you want to take action, you should do it as soon as possible." One of the centaur-like strong men said in a low voice: "The time and space of the Ninth Ruins Realm are distorted, and the detection formations we set up will occasionally be destroyed. The number is not large. Wait a while. , the other party may be beyond our detection range."

In other ruin realms, it would be ordinary for an eternal powerhouse to set up a formation and maintain it for tens of billions of years.

But not in the Ninth Ruins Realm.

The time and space here is chaotic, and occasionally huge time and space cracks will appear, or time and space tides will form... Not to mention the formations set up by a few of their saints, even those set up by the Supreme Saint will be destroyed.

That's why.

For a long time, no major force has been able to establish a stable base camp in the Ninth Ruins Realm.

"I see."

The black-armored half-human tiger frowned and looked at the person beside him: "Ling Shu, control your puppet to test his strength... Remember, if you kick the iron plate, you must cut off the contact as soon as possible."

"Understood." The saint named Ling Shu nodded.

…

In the dim void, the dark star ancient ship, all black, has been moving forward slowly.

Inside the warship, Wu Yuanyuan was sitting quietly cross-legged.

suddenly.

"Huh? Master? No, it's a puppet." Wu Yuan maintains time and space sensing at all times. His sensing ability and range may seem small, but that is compared to the outside world.

In fact, the ability to perceive a radius of nearly tens of billions of miles with one thought, and to be able to easily break through many illusions, is extremely exaggerated in the Nine Ruins of Chaos.

However, Wu Yuan did not take action.

Only a few moments later.

"Ho~"

"Roar~" Accompanied by two thunderous roars, two giant snakes that were thousands of miles long suddenly erupted from the quiet void, opened their bloody mouths and bit hard at the Dark Star ancient ship.

Rumble~ I saw that the bodies of the two big snakes were even more slippery, and they swung suddenly to entangle and tie up the warship.

..."I didn't even notice anything."

"I made a lot of moves on purpose. It seems that the owner of the warship is very weak. He is probably a very weak Saint Dharmakaya Source Body."

"If you capture the warship directly, you can harvest several innate spiritual treasures..." The five saints hidden in the ruined mountain were relieved when they saw the two master-level puppets approaching the warship easily. A relaxed smile appeared on his face.

But the next moment.

The smiles of the five saints froze, and their eyes were full of horror!

because.

In the void billions of miles away, I saw that the black warship was about to be swallowed by a big snake.

suddenly~

Wow~ The bottom of the black warship suddenly opened, revealing a huge dark hole, like a miniature abyss, followed by endless devouring power released from the hole.

"Ho~"

"Roar~" The terrifying swallowing power acted on the two big snakes, causing their bodies to shrink rapidly and keep flying towards the entrance of the cave. Even if they struggled hard, it was still ineffective.

in a blink.

The two big puppet snakes were swallowed directly by the hole exposed by the warship.

"quick!"

"Ling Shu, cut off the connection with the puppet." The black-armored leader said angrily: "This kind of warship is at least a top-grade innate spiritual treasure warship, and it can also exert extremely powerful power... It is definitely a true saint, or It’s the saint himself who has come.”

"My contact with the puppet has been severed." True Saint Ling Shu's face turned pale. It was obvious that he was forcibly cut off from the puppet, which caused considerable trauma to his soul.

No waiting for the black-armored leader to react.

"not good!!"

"Chief, the warship is coming! It's coming." Several other saints spoke in anger.

Through the many detection arrays deployed, they could clearly sense that the black warship, which originally maintained ten times the speed of light, suddenly began to soar... and actually exceeded a hundred times the speed of light! !

Two hundred times the speed of light!

Three hundred times the speed of light!

"This!" Several saints were frightened. One hundred times the speed of light in the sea is the theoretical limit.

Beyond a hundred times the speed of light? Ordinary true saints cannot do this.

"It is an innate treasure."

"It's definitely the true saint, run away!"

"Escape!" The five saints were completely panicked, and immediately turned into streams of light and fled frantically.

...a quarter of an hour later.

"Boom~" The body of the last saint Yuan suddenly exploded and fell!

So far.

The source bodies of the Dharmakaya of the five saints all perished.

"So weak." Wu Yuan steered the warship.

The bottom of the warship opened and the many treasures left by the opponent were collected.

Wu Yuan didn't even make a move to kill these five saints. He just controlled the Dark Star Ancient Ship to pursue them and then directly crushed them... This is normal. After all, the Dark Star Ancient Ship is an innate treasure, and it can be used for rampage. The power of the true saint level.

Where can the source body of the Dharmakaya of a few saints be able to resist?

"It's a pity that we couldn't capture any of them alive. These strong men who invaded the territorial sea blew themselves up when they saw that the situation was not going well." Wu Yuan shook his head secretly: "They should all be just saints."

What if he is a true saint?

The Dharmakaya source body of a true saint can generally burst out the saint's peak strength, and can resist to a certain extent without collapsing at the first touch.

time flies.

Wu Yuan quickly explored all the treasures left by the five saints and found many special items: "From the architectural style of the magic treasures in the cave, and these leftover god slips... they should be from the Nine Desolate Universe." The strong one."

The Nine Wilderness Universe is an extremely powerful Universe Alliance.

Its leader, the Nine Desolate Holy Saints, is also a super being who stands at the pinnacle of the territorial sea, and his head-on fighting strength is close to the level of Emperor Jiang's Ancestral Witch.

"Kill, just kill."

"They were the ones who took the initiative to attack me anyway." Wu Yuan didn't care at all.

call!

The warship continued to fly toward the depths of the dark void.

…

The Nine Desolate Universe is located in the deepest part of the ocean, and is extremely far away from the Central Universe.

There are only nine universes in this side of the universe, far less than the central universe.

But the entire universe is one, and its power is naturally huge, and it has opened up the "Nine Desolate Realm" of the Divine Void Realm that spreads across the nine realms of time and space.

now.

The five saints whose Dharmakaya Origin Body was killed by Wu Yuan were reporting the news to their true saints through the Nine Desolations Realm.

"You said that there is a suspected True Saint who has entered the Ninth Ruins Realm and is operating near our temporary headquarters?" The purple-robed figure sitting on the throne looked down.

"right!"

"Which true saint is he? Do you recognize him?" the purple-robed figure said softly.

The five great saints looked at each other and immediately shook their heads.

"The true saint of Qi, from the beginning to the end, the opponent was chasing with warships and did not show up at all." The black-armored half-human tiger said in a low voice: "But the warship easily broke through the limit of a hundred times the speed of light, and the aftermath of one impact was It made my origin body fall."

Subsequently.

The black-armored half-human tiger revealed his memory projection.

quite a while.

"Okay, I understand." The purple-robed figure said calmly: "I will inform the other true saints in the alliance. You can go down first and practice the Dharma Body Source Body again."

"yes."

The five great saints respectfully stepped back. Their Dharmakaya source bodies are only the dominant bodies, so re-gestation will be very fast, at most a million years.

If you are willing to pay some price, a hundred thousand years will do.

…

Soon, the true saints belonging to the Nine Desolate Universe in the Nine Ruins of Chaos got the news one after another.

"Has the true saint come in?"

"who?"

"I'm not sure. I just know that I'm riding a black warship. The warship is suspected to be an innate treasure."

"Okay! Be careful." Many true saints communicated with each other.

There are many true saints wandering around in the Nine Ruins of Chaos, but most of them are acting in the source body of the Dharmakaya. Do they dare to roam around like they want? Very few.

Usually, the real saints will appear after they sense a great treasure or some great treasure has been revealed.

That's why.

In the Nine Ruins of Chaos, every additional true saint will attract the attention of all major forces. This kind of powerful combat power can change the situation of the war at critical moments.

…

time flies.

Year after year.

Wu Yuan ran rampant in the Ninth Ruins Realm, and his own eyes were opened. He saw many scenes that he had never known in the past. Among them, the movement of time and space and the interweaving of the rules of the avenue made him feel a lot.

"Path of practice!"

"The so-called reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles." Wu Yuan thought thoughtfully: "On the accumulation of insights? In the past hundreds of millions of years, I have been receiving the original baptism. The accumulation is deep enough, but I have not completely digested it."

"I have created many unique skills and techniques, but they are always a little short of perfection."

"I still don't have enough experience and knowledge." Wu Yuan's understanding of himself became clearer.

As the master of the avenue, Wu Yuan will continue to make progress without knowing it.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed.

For such a long time, Wu Yuan found many treasures, and even found a large piece of chaos gold from an ancient mountain... He also experienced many dangers. The most dangerous one was the creation of space-time rifts out of thin air in the void, which almost destroyed the Dark Star. The ancient ship was directly involved.

crucial moment.

It was Wu Yuan who flew out of the warship, picked up the warship, and then flew away.

Secondly, he encountered a ruin spirit at the True Saint level. His whole body was illusory and his vitality was incredibly powerful. Even if Wu Yuan exploded with all his strength and almost wiped out his body, he still could not kill him.

Such was the terror of the Xu Ling, its near-immortality, that ultimately forced Wu Yuan to retreat.

These.

It was just the natural dangers that Wu Yuan encountered in the Ninth Ruins Realm, and he occasionally encountered the eternal strongmen from other forces. Most of the time, both parties stayed far away.

Eternal strong men, if there is no conflict of interests, mostly maintain peace.

only.

There would also be some people who wanted to kill people and seize the treasure, but Wu Yuan always dealt with them neatly.

Gradually.

All the major forces in the Ninth Ruins Realm also knew that a true saint and a strong man in a warship had arrived.

However, these powerful forces do not yet know that the true saint who has arrived is Wu Yuan.

After all, Wu Yuan has not met other true saints yet, and when fighting against other eternal powerhouses, no one can force Wu Yuanyuan to show up yet.

Just relying on the innate treasure warship, they were crushed all the way.

...Witch Court Realm, Ancestral Witch Hall, in the temple belonging to Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan held a feast today.

"True Saint Qi Guang." Wu Yuan smiled and said, "This is your first time visiting. Please take a seat."

"Haha, I have long wanted to visit the True Saint Wu Yuan, but I have never found a suitable opportunity." The True Saint Qi Guang was wearing a white robe, with a round body and a smile on his face. At first glance, he looked like Maitreya Buddha.

However, if anyone dares to underestimate him, it will be a disaster.

Wu Yuan is very aware of the powerful strength of Qiguang True Saint. He ranks among the top five among the thousands of True Saints in the Witch Court. He also possesses a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, which makes his combat power even more terrifying.

On the list of true saints, Qi Guang True Saint is ranked sixteenth, and he is also the most powerful person in the Ninth Ruins Realm of Wuting.

"Recently, the True Saint who has been spread in the Ninth Ruins Realm is you Wu Yuan?" Qi Guang True Saint asked.

"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded and admitted directly.

Through the Wuting Intelligence Network, he also knew that in the past few thousand years, he had taken many actions, which had gradually spread throughout the Ninth Ruins world.

"Really you?"

Qi Guang True Sage slightly exclaimed: "I received a message from the ancestral witch before and knew that you were coming to the Ninth Ruins Realm... but I didn't expect that you would be the one coming."

"How brave!" True Saint Qi Guang couldn't help but say.

Even though he is still in the Ninth Ruins Realm, he doesn't show up easily for fear of being trapped by the Immortal Court.

Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Houtu Zuwu knew that he was going there in the form of Yuanshen, but naturally such a big secret would not be leaked easily.

"I just want to sharpen myself." Wu Yuan said with a smile: "Although it is dangerous, I am the master of creation... It is easy to recover and return."

"Well, it is enviable to be in charge of a great road." Qi Guang True Sage said sincerely.

Even if an ordinary true saint has accumulated enough, if he dies, the limit is that he can be resurrected twice in a short period of time.

Every time I come back from recovery, it is a huge consumption.

But Tao Masters are different. Even if they die, they can practice quickly and consume very little... Most of the cost of the Tao Master's recovery is borne by the origin of the Tao.

"You still have to be careful."

"Even if you can be resurrected, once you die, many of the treasures you carry will be taken away." Qiguang True Sage said: "Remember, if your life is in danger, you can send a message to me or other true saints for help."

"Your cultivation time is still too short after all." Qi Guang True Sage said quite sincerely.

"Okay." Wu Yuan smiled and said, "If I encounter danger, I will definitely ask you for help."

After another moment of communication.

Wu Yuan just sent Qi Guang True Sage away.

"This Qiguang True Sage has good intentions, but I'm afraid Houtu Zusha hasn't told him my true strength yet." Wu Yuan thought to himself.

He could also feel the unity of the Witch Court.

In fact, there are more than just enlightened saints.

There are nearly twenty true saints stationed in the Ninth Ruins Realm of the Witch Court. Several of them visited in person through the Wizard Court Realm. The other true saints also sent messages to Wu Yuan, and their words were very sincere.

Very heartwarming and united.

"However, there seems to be unity, and it may be that these True Saints take it seriously because of my coming." Wu Yuan smiled slightly: "If it were an ordinary True Saint entering the Ninth Ruins Realm, he might not be able to get so much goodwill. "

Your own strength is the foundation. If you are strong, then everything around you will be kind.

…

Within the realm of the Ninth Ruins, black warships were traveling all the way.

"In the past ten thousand years, I have gained some, but not much." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly: "When we pass through the No. 67 space-time corridor, we should be close to the space-time area where the strong men of my witch court often move."

Space-time corridor.

It is a very common passage in the Nine Ruins of Chaos and even in the Endless Sea. It also has many names, such as space-time wormhole, space-time tunnel, space-time vortex, etc.

The space-time corridor is very special. Through it, two places that are extremely far apart can be easily crossed.

There are many space-time corridors in the Ninth Ruins Realm, but most of them are unstable. Occasionally one will be born, and many will be destroyed.

In the witch court information, many powerful people are running around, and they will constantly report and update information.

All discovered time and space corridors will be uniformly labeled and sorted.

For thousands of years, Wu Yuan has continuously reported the areas he traveled to to the Witch Court, so that part of the information in the intelligence database can be updated.

Each strong person can only explore an area and contribute part of the intelligence, but when a large amount of intelligence is gathered, a massive amount of intelligence information can be formed. This is also one of the advantages of the strongest force.

Shortly after.

"Huh~"

"Space-time Corridor No. 67." Wu Yuan looked at the dark and unpredictable area from a distance. The space was distorted and the flow rate of time was becoming different.

At first glance, it looks like a super-large vortex.

But it is different from the space-time vortex. There is not such a strong sense of oppression and chaos, but it is full of danger.

"According to the information, this space-time corridor was formed less than 10 billion years ago, so it should not collapse..." Wu Yuan muttered secretly.

If it had been formed for hundreds of billions of years, then he would not want to break into it, because such an ancient time and space corridor might collapse at any time.

Once it collapses, there is no telling where it will be transported.

"If we don't take this space-time corridor, normal flight will take tens of thousands of years." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly: "If we take the time-space corridor, it will only take less than a year."

Much faster.

"Let's go." Wu Yuan drove the Dark Star Ancient Ship, launched it with all his strength, maximized the power of the warship, and then broke into the dark void.

Buzz~

Invisible waves passed by and instantly engulfed the warship, cutting off internal and external sensations.

"Rumble~" Waves of space-time fluctuations have been tearing apart the Dark Star Ancient Ship. The space-time corridor is dark, and occasionally small space-time cracks can be seen.

But, what kind of existence is Wu Yuan now? He easily withstood the tearing force and kept moving forward.

"The Space-Time Corridor is relatively safe." Wu Yuan murmured to himself: "As long as you have the strength of a saint, you can usually travel along the Space-Time Corridor..."

Rushing is boring.

More than half a year passed in the blink of an eye, when Wu Yuan thought he would pass through the time and space corridor safely.

this day.

"Whoosh!" The Dark Star Ancient Ship was still moving forward steadily and at high speed.

Very suddenly.

"Rumble~" A terrifying space-time rift suddenly appeared in the dark void, and suddenly swept over in a mighty force.

Just like a small boat sailing on the sea, the originally calm sea suddenly became violently windy.

Inside the warship.

"Tide of time and space?" Wu Yuan, who was meditating in meditation, was instantly awakened and couldn't help but stare.

So unlucky?

With such vision, he could tell with just a few moments of sensing that the originally stable space-time corridor was constantly disintegrating, and waves of terrifying space-time fluctuations were sweeping in like a tidal wave.

It is the most dangerous 'time and space tide' in the Nine Ruins of Chaos. This is the nightmare of countless eternal strong men.

Uh-huh!

A white-robed figure instantly appeared beside Wu Yuan. It was Dharmakaya. He instantly took over the Dark Star Ancient Ship.

"rush!"

Wu Yuan's dharma body senses spread, and without hesitation, he immediately steered the warship, followed the wind direction that seemed to be the most dangerous, and rushed in directly.

Just like encountering a storm at sea, sometimes it seems dangerous, but once you get over it, it will be safer.

"Retreat~"

Wu Yuan's body controlled the warship to fly to the left, sometimes stopping and sometimes flying upside down.

The clumsy warship was extremely exquisite at this moment.

In terms of sensing magic weapons and time and space, Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Deity is still better than the Body Refining Deity.

But it cannot hide the danger of the situation.

"Rumble~" The terrifying wave of time and space swept over, making the Dark Star ancient ship roar and explode, as if it was constantly being attacked by the holy level.

The terrible space-time impact penetrated through the warship and even penetrated directly into Wu Yuan's body.

but.

Even Wu Yuan's dharma body has cultivated the way of matter to the level of the eternal divine body through hundreds of millions of years of cultivation. Combined with the innate treasure battle armor, the material defense is also quite good.

This space-time impact can still be withstood.

"Click~"

Wu Yuan's face changed slightly. He could feel that countless tiny cracks had appeared on the surface of the Dark Star Ancient Ship. He could imagine how terrifying the time and space tide outside was.

No wonder it is said that if the true saint's perfect strength is trapped in the core, he will definitely die.

"The space-time corridor has collapsed."

"I have fallen into the tide of time and space. I must not fall into the core area and try to get rid of it." Wu Yuan noticed the current situation.

There is no way to go back the way you came.

There is no way to move forward. I can no longer tell where I am, so I can only struggle desperately - to survive!

…

Thirteen days later.

The Ninth Ruins Realm is in a dark void.

"Boom~" Suddenly a huge space-time crack appeared out of thin air, followed by a warship with many scars and even many huge cracks visible to the naked eye flying out.

"Finally, it's out." Inside the warship, the life aura of Wu Yuan's Dharma Body and Yuan Body had been weakened by most.

"Survived."

Wu Yuan's face showed joy.

Nightmare!

These thirteen days were definitely a nightmare since Wu Yuan entered the Ninth Ruins Realm.

No!

It was even the most terrifying danger Wu Yuan had encountered after wandering around the sea for so long.

"I fell into the core of the tidal wave of time and space, and I actually survived." Wu Yuan sighed secretly: "Fortunately, I have the Holy Cloth of Creation, otherwise, I will definitely die in it."

During these thirteen days, at the beginning, Dharmakaya piloted the warship and tried to rush out.

Lasted six days.

However, the tide of time and space was too violent, and Wu Yuan was dragged into the core area. The Dark Star Ancient Ship could not support it at all, forcing Wu Yuan to appear in the outside world.

Carry it with your physical body!

Even though Wu Yuan's mana recovery speed is astonishing, and even though his eternal divine body has been cultivated to a great level, those wisps of space-time blades still make his life breath continue to weaken.

fortunately!

With the Holy Cloth of Creation, Wu Yuan's physical defense had already soared to a terrifying level. Every time he was hit, the damage suffered was very small... He managed to hold on for five days before he was rushed out of the core range of the time and space tide.

A few more days passed before Wu Yuan seized the opportunity and rushed out in one fell swoop.

"If the dharma body breaks out alone, I'm afraid it will have fallen." Wu Yuan said secretly: "No wonder those true saints, I don't dare to wander around in the Ninth Ruins Realm, it is indeed dangerous."

This time, it can be called a life and death disaster.

Wu Yuan was very unlucky. He encountered the tide of time and space in the time and space corridor, and he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to avoid it in advance.

but.

Wu Yuan's strength was so strong, especially his material defense, that he managed to survive in the core of the time and space tide.

If the news spreads, I'm afraid it will cause a big shock.

"I'm afraid this Dark Star ancient ship will have to be refined." Wu Yuan felt regretful and waved his hand to put the warship away.

call!

With another wave of his hand, another high-grade Xiantian Lingbao warship was summoned. This warship was much more ordinary.

"Where was I transported to?"

"I hope it won't deviate too far." Wu Yuan's eyes swept across the void, and suddenly he was stunned.

There was a ray of light in his eyes.

A smile appeared on his face!

because.

In Wu Yuan's field of vision, at the end of the endless dark void, there is a majestic and endless purple mountain peak, probably several light-years high... but the mountain peak is split from the middle, as if there is a super being who cuts this huge mountain with one knife Split in half.

"Double Purple Mountain?" Wu Yuan murmured to himself: "You actually teleported me here directly? I don't know if it's bad luck or good luck."

Shuangzi Mountain, similar to Jiuchen Tianshu, is a very famous coordinate place in the Ninth Ruins Realm.

It is fixed in the ruin world.

Just like when you see Jiuchen Tianshu, you know that you are in an area where a large number of powerful people in Jiuhuang Yuyu are active.

same.

Near Shuangzi Mountain, it is the time and space area where the powerful people from Immortal Court often move around. Most of the powerful people from Immortal Court are hunting for treasures here.

"It is said that the temporary home of Immortal Court in the Ninth Ruins Realm is in Shuangzi Mountain." Wu Yuan showed an incomprehensible smile: "I really couldn't find a place to go through the iron shoes, but I was teleported directly here."

"Originally, I thought I would have to travel for tens of thousands of years."

"I didn't expect that through the tide of time and space, I rushed over directly and rushed directly into the pile of powerful people in the fairy court."

time flies.

Wu Yuan was not reckless, but hid directly in a void and began to practice quietly. After a full year, the state of the Dharmakaya Source Body was completely restored to its peak.

call!

Wu Yuan, who had returned to his original state, was about to choose a direction to start exploring.

Suddenly, in the very distant void, waves of terrifying space-time fluctuations suddenly erupted.

Rumble~

Time and space split open, and a huge mountain visible to the naked eye appeared in the void.

Countless golden lights flashed on the mountain, extremely bright, and a powerful and endless aura spread out.

"Chaos fine gold veins? This! So big? I'm afraid it can even be used to refine a Chaos Spiritual Treasure." Wu Yuan's eyes flickered with disbelief: "Is it real or fake?"

Within a very short period of time.

He first encountered life and death, and now he encountered the birth of a great treasure.

Could it be said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later?

"This vein is mine." Wu Yuan rushed over without hesitation.

——

ps: I have some free time and updated it.

I’m not sure whether it will be updated tomorrow, so I’ll let you know in advance.

If there is no update tomorrow, I will not ask for leave for a single chapter. I hope brothers understand!
