Longevity: Starting From the Luck Entry

  Chapter 381 Red luck takes effect, get new innate luck! (2 in 1)

  Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged in his yard.

   I glanced at my panel, and then my mind moved.

  【Successfully consumed 10,000 wisps of luck power, the natural Taoist (purple) was upgraded to the natural Taoist master (gold)】

  Seeing this congenital luck, Jiang Yuan's eyes froze immediately.

  He has heard the word Taoist many times.

  The meaning of these two words is extraordinary, and it is the peak end of the path of practice in the past era.

  This caused many associations in his mind, and he immediately looked at the description on his panel about this congenital luck.

  【Natural Taoist Lord】: Born with the potential of a Taoist master, he has an incomparable degree of perception and control over the world's three thousand avenues. At the same time, he has a special potential and can accommodate multiple avenues into his body at the same time.

  Seeing this note, Jiang Yuan was slightly startled.

  This explanation gave him some insight.

  Why some Taoist masters in that era can only control one Dao, this is also the weakest Taoist master.

  Some Taoist masters can integrate several Taoists into one body, and have abilities far superior to other Taoist masters.

  This may be related to some innate luck.

  Some people are born extraordinary, and their growth ceiling will be much higher than others.

  Afterwards, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes again to feel the magical effect of this innate luck.

   After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, and he suddenly understood.

  The effect of this innate weather upgrade is completely different, much stronger than before.

  Now he can not only integrate his body with the Dao, so that he has the authority of a saint, but also integrate the Dao into his body, and greatly enhance his combat power.

  At the same time, he can feel that he has a higher affinity for all kinds of avenues in the world, and it is easier to comprehend all the avenues in the world.

  As long as you dabble a little, you can have a certain understanding and understanding.

  In this case, it will be much easier for him to comprehend his way than before.

  The most important thing is that he feels that he exerts a certain influence on all the avenues in the world.

   There is a feeling that the personality is above the avenue.

   Then Jiang Yuan glanced at his panel again.

  【Name】: Jiang Yuan

  [Realm]: Ninth level of the Four Extreme Realm (23.5%)

  【Yuan Shen】: 1053.6

  【Flesh Body】: The Fourth Secret Realm

  [Cultivation Method]: Flesh and Flesh Will Method (100%) True Dragon Treasure Art (above Consummation) Yuanshen Dao Sword (Level 1) Immortal Body (Level 2) Swallowing Heaven Art (Above Consummation).

[Congenital fortune]: Turn catastrophe into blessing (red), natural Taoist master (gold), extraordinary and free from vulgarity (gold), **** and knowing (gold), human holy body (gold), yin and yang **** body (gold), space is king (gold). Body protection (purple) strong luck (blue)

  【Power of Air Luck】: 116 strands

  【Luck Seeds】: None

  [Destiny Opportunity]: More than a month later, the ruins of the ancient Tianting will appear in the Nanming star field. In the Jumang mansion, there is a seed of the world tree.

   After reading his panel, Jiang Yuan immediately closed it.

  The next luck upgrade is not far away in his eyes.

   In the battle of the covenant, there must be a large amount of power of luck in the account.

  For a major event of that level, there may not be more than one saint.

  Any saint with golden innate luck can provide him with more than a thousand strands of luck.

   And to be able to reach the level of saint or demon saint, in Jiang Yuan's eyes, there should be not a few people with golden innate luck.

  Based on his current understanding, he has seen many congenital fortunes.

  He also probably understands that if the Tianjiao with purple luck comes from a big force and is supported by a big force, there is great hope for them to achieve the Dongtian Realm.

  However, if there is no special opportunity to become a saint, there is little hope!

  Those practitioners with some golden innate luck are different, and their probability of becoming a saint will be greatly increased.

  Especially the new innate luck that I have now, the natural Taoist.

  This congenital fortune is placed on anyone, and it is a qualification that can surely become a saint.

   To know the existence of Taoist Lord, it is the most peak existence in a certain past era.

  Jiang Yuan doesn't know that kind of existence very well, but it is conceivable that it must be an existence far above the saint.

  The saint in this era is only the second highest mountain in the human realm, and the highest mountain is the supreme being who has stepped into the peak of the human realm.

  And above the realm of humanity, there is also the realm of immortality.

  No matter how strong the Supreme Being is, it can only rival the True Immortal.

  Beyond the true immortal, the realm he now knows is the immortal, and above the immortal, there is an unspeakable taboo field.

  Even if Jiang Yuan doesn't know much about the past era, it can be inferred from it.

  The existence of the Taoist Lord will inevitably surpass the saints.

  Especially the new piece of innate luck that I just acquired is the core element of becoming a supreme Taoist master.

  Only relying on this innate luck, you can easily cross the threshold of proving the Tao and becoming a saint.

  Jiang Yuan then got up from the ground and patted the fine dust on his body.

  After feeling the intensity of Thunder Avenue's growth, Jiang Yuan murmured.

   "It's almost there!"

   "The thunder tribulation that I didn't cross before is now time to go again!"

   "After overcoming the thunder calamity, the cultivation path I took before will be counted as the real consummation!"

   he said, looking up at the dome.

  In his line of sight, he could see the appearance and integration of Thunder Avenue.

  Three Thousand Avenues were completed.

  The Thunder Pond no longer dried up, and was filled with a shallow layer of Thunder Tribulation Liquid.

   This is the source of the catastrophe.

  In the past, because the Dao of Thunder did not exist, the Thunder Pond dried up. Since then, the world has changed drastically.

  There are also Lei Jie who later proved the sanctification and Lei Jie who achieved the supreme state.

   So much so that without the tempering of Thunder Tribulation, it will become more and more difficult for any practitioner to achieve the supreme state.

  Now looking at the five regions and four seas, there is only Nanling Yaohuang who is the Supreme Realm on the surface.

  These days, it is also because Jiang Yuan gave birth to the Dao of Thunder, so that the Dao of Thunder can be integrated into the Three Thousand Dao, rooted in the origin of heaven and earth.

  The growth of Thunder Avenue these days has also gradually revived the Thunder Pond, the source of Thunder Tribulation, and a batch of Thunder Tribulation Liquid was born.

  Jiang Yuan has been waiting for more Thunder Tribulation Liquid in the Thunder Pond these days.

  Because he has to go through three consecutive thunder calamities and six nine thunder calamities.

   Among them, the thirty-nine thunder catastrophes are the thunder catastrophes that must be crossed to achieve the Dharma Phase Realm of the Shenqiao Realm.

  The six-nine thunder calamity is the thunder calamity that must be crossed to achieve the four extremes in the Faxiang realm.

  Because of the lack of the rules of heaven and earth, he failed to survive these two kinds of thunder tribulations, but now he just made up for it, thus perfecting his path of practice.

   After making a decision.

  Jiang Yuan glanced around, then looked up at the dome.

  Under the current rules of heaven and earth, once the thunder calamity comes out, it will inevitably attract great attention.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

  Because the world has long known that, unlike in ancient times, the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Calamity has disappeared for tens of thousands of years.

  Three Nine Thunder Tribulations down to the Shenqiao breakthrough, and the Supreme Tribulation up to the saint breakthrough, have long since disappeared in the dust of history.

  The current world is different from the ancient times, there is no such thing as crossing the catastrophe.

  So Jiang Yuan is not going to cross the catastrophe here.

   Once the thunder calamity comes out, the power will be huge, and the environment of the world will also change drastically.

  No matter where you are in the Eastern Region, you will be easily discovered.

  Jiang Yuan didn't want people to notice him yet.

  So his eyes fell on the outside of the dome at this time.

  Now he jumps out of the Three Realms, not in the invisible, not involved in cause and effect, and the secrets of heaven are chaotic.

   It can be said that it is very safe to enter the outside world, and no one can know their whereabouts.

   Moreover, after he had survived the thunder disaster, he returned immediately, so there was no risk.

  The most important thing is that he still has the decree belonging to Dugu Bo in the token of the Holy Court.

  Jiang Yuan now also understands the general strength of Dugu Bo. He is an invincible existence in the same realm.

  If what he said before was true, Dugu Bo could even fight that Nanling Demon Emperor.

  The sage decree left by the powerful existence of the dean is enough for him to deal with a major crisis calmly.

   Moreover, Jiang Yuan is also very curious about the extraterrestrial starry sky.

  Going to the extraterrestrial starry sky can also satisfy your curiosity.

  What does the so-called extraterrestrial starry sky look like?

  Are you in the universe now?

  He has long been curious about this question, but he has not been able to see the whole picture of the extraterrestrial starry sky from various ancient books and miscellaneous books.

  It is also difficult to feel what they have seen and heard from which texts.

  After making a decision, Jiang Yuan's mouth moved slightly.

  A voice came to Shu Xiaoxiao's ears, telling her the direction to go, so that she didn't have to worry about the future.

  Then Jiang Yuan moved his body and instantly cast the Great Teleportation Technique, his body also skyrocketed.

  In an instant, he saw clusters of white clouds rapidly sinking towards his feet.

  The higher it went up, the more Jiang Yuan felt the shock.

  The height of the world here is far beyond the comparison of the previous life.

   And more importantly, the higher he ascends, the closer he seems to be to the origin of heaven and earth, and he can feel the suppression of the Great Dao.

  At the same time, a gust of wind like a knife blew past him, making Jiang Yuan's body turbulent for a while, and almost fell out of the state of casting the big teleportation technique.

  After resisting the kamikaze, Jiang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

   Then he continued to soar.

  In the middle of the process, there was a gust of wind blowing past from time to time.

  He even felt the ubiquitous kamikaze from the outside world, which was the Nine Heavens Qinggang.

   This kind of divine wind spreads everywhere on the dome, and those who are not strong enough, once blown by this kind of divine wind, will melt their bodies and souls, and everything will be completely annihilated.

  Generally speaking, without the support of the elders, only the stronger ones in the Dongtian Realm can pass through the Nine Heavens Green Gang above the dome and successfully reach the outer starry sky.

  In the cold and dark extraterrestrial starry sky, there is boundless silence.

  The farther away from the five regions and four seas, the thinner the aura will become.

  Avenues will also become barren.

  The farther away you are, the harder it is to perceive the existence of the avenue.

  If it is far enough away from the Five Regions and Four Seas.

   That is the endless silence and darkness, that is where the aura does not exist, and the avenue cannot touch it.

   These are the few records Jiang Yuan saw about the extraterrestrial starry sky.

  Besides, the ancient books and miscellaneous books he read did not know much about the extraterrestrial starry sky.

   Few people have gone deep into the outer space.

  According to records, some saints tried it, and some never returned.

   There are also saints who have successfully returned, but his mana is exhausted, the cave is withered, and the body is withered.

  Responding to the inquiries of the world, the sage also talked about his experience.

  In the vast and boundless darkness, nothing but coldness is darkness, and boundless desolation.

   It cannot supplement the slightest consumption by itself.

  If it is not forcibly exploring, it will be impossible to return successfully.

  After hearing such a statement, the world put out the idea of ​​​​searching.

   Later, some great supernatural beings did similar things. Some returned successfully, and some disappeared.

   Those great supernatural beings who came back all spoke similarly to that saint, and their descriptions were also very similar.

  There are various records of the predecessors, and the minds of future generations who choose to go deep into the starry sky outside the territory are even less.

  After Jiang Yuan passed through the layer covered by the divine wind of Jiuxiao Shengang, the pressure was relieved a lot.

   After a while.

  Jiang Yuan withdrew from the Great Teleportation Technique and appeared in the extraterrestrial starry sky.

  When he casts the Great Teleportation Technique, no matter how high the sky is and how wide the land is, it won't take him too much time.

  His figure at this time stands tall in the starry sky outside the territory.

   Then Jiang Yuan looked in all directions, and couldn't help but be surprised.

  It was completely different from the pictures he had seen in his previous life.

  In his previous life, there were tens of millions of light spots in the universe, which were incomparably gorgeous and spectacular.

  Especially after seeing the picture of the Pillars of Creation, he was even more shocked.

  A celestial scene made of cylinders of interstellar gas and dust.

  But now he sees the extraterritorial starry sky.

  The sun and the moon also seemed to have completely disappeared from his sight, leaving only boundless darkness and silence.

  The darkness seemed to be a bottomless cage, and no spots could be seen.

   It's more like an endless abyss. Once you leave the isolated island of the Five Regions and Four Seas, you may be lost in the endless darkness.

  Until this moment, Jiang Yuan finally understood why some people would go deep into the outer starry sky and never return.

   Lost the coordinates of the five regions and four seas, it is very normal for them to get lost in the endless darkness.

next moment.

  Jiang Yuan closed and opened his eyes.

   Visions are instantly revealed in the pupils, and double pupils are born in the pupils.

   There are golden chains of order vertically and horizontally in it, and the two qi of yin and yang are also circulating in the pupils.

  In this state, Jiang Yuan felt that he could observe Qingming from above and explore Jiuyou from below.

  Nothing can stop his eyes, and his eyes can see the essence of everything.

  The boundless darkness was instantly pierced by him for a certain distance.

  He saw ancient-looking stars in the darkness surrounding the five regions and four seas.

   Above those stars, there is also boundless desert and wind and sand.

   From time to time, wind and sand swept past.

   But under the wind and sand, Jiang Yuan saw the shadows of some buildings.

  He thought for a moment. These completely weathered buildings undoubtedly represented that there were humans, or some kind of civilization, in those stars.

  It is the trajectory of human activities, and the existence of civilization can produce buildings.

  Jiang Yuan glanced in all directions, and saw that there were not many stars with traces of civilization around him.

  But now they have completely turned into barren stars and death stars, which are truly barren lands.

  He slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the five regions and four seas under his feet.

  Under his current eyesight with double pupils, he is far from seeing the end of the five regions and four seas.

  The five regions and four seas below are not a huge star, but a boundless continent.

  A boundless continent that is quite similar to the round sky.

   The vertical and horizontal length is unknown how many light-years, and the edge and end cannot be seen at all.

  With his current eyesight, he can't even see the outline of the Eastern Region, let alone the five regions and four seas.

  The entire Five Regions and Four Seas add up to at least eight times the size of the Eastern Region, or even higher.

   After briefly looking down a few times, Jiang Yuan's eyes slowly retracted again.

   He then looked overhead.

   "It's time to find a place to survive the robbery!"

  Jiang Yuan murmured.

  The words fell, and his figure disappeared from this place again.

   A moment later, he appeared on a barren star.

  The yellow sand here is like a dragon, sweeping the world.

   It should work here!

  Jiang Yuan secretly thought.

  The direction he is in now is the opposite direction to the five regions and four seas.

   The vision of the gathering of thunder and calamity will also be blocked by this huge star. Even if someone came out from the position where Jiang Yuan was just now, he would not be able to see the vision formed here.

next moment.

  As his thoughts moved, boundless thunderclouds rolled in and converged towards the sky above his head.

  The black clouds quickly gathered, and then became extremely thick, and slowly sank.

  Boom—

  A blazing thunder flashed by, and the horn was blown thoroughly.

   Thunder snakes appeared in the thundercloud, and the roar continued.

  Among the thick black clouds, oppressive lights emerge from time to time.

   In a blink of an eye.

  Thunderstorms gathered into groups, forming a sea.

   The center of this thundercloud is the sky above Jiang Yuan's head.

  A thunder vortex was also formed in that place at this time, and electric arcs flashed through the vortex from time to time.

  Under the gathering of thunderclouds, the yellow sand sweeping around the star also subsided.

  Jiang Yuan felt a sense of oppression above his head at this time, and he was also a little secretly startled.

  What gathered now is the Sanjiu Thunder Tribulation, which is the Thunder Tribulation that Shenqiao needs to cross when it breaks through the Faxiang Realm.

  But this Thunder Tribulation gave him the feeling that it seemed to exist in the realm of self-face.

   This undoubtedly represents that the Sanjiu Thunder Calamity is astonishingly powerful.

  Although the power of the thunder tribulation varies from person to person, the three-nine thunder calamity he faces must be much stronger than the rest.

   But it is enough to see that it is not so simple to survive the thunder disaster.

  Three Nine Thunder Tribulations are not much of a threat to Jiang Yuan today.

  Because he is now at the ninth level of the Quadrupole Realm!

  Jiang Yuan waited quietly in the desert for a while, waiting for the birth of Lei Jie to be completed.

   Another moment passed.

  Boom—

  A thunder snake flew across the sky, pouring straight into Jiang Yuan's head from the top of his head, covering Jiang Yuan's whole body.

  Seeing this, he did not dodge or dodge, allowing the thunder to fall on him, and it poured into his body in an instant.

  Feeling the thunder rushing around in his body, Jiang Yuan was delighted.

  During this lightning calamity, he felt a strong power of disaster.

   This kind of power is the nourishment for him to cultivate the immortal body.

  Thinking of this, every cell in his body began to absorb the power of disaster in the thunder.

  With the absorption of the power of catastrophe, Jiang Yuan also felt that every cell particle was quietly improving.

   "It's not enough!"

  Jiang Yuan looked up at Lei Jie above his head, and murmured.

   Then he said again: "In this case, let's speed up the frequency of Sanjiu Thunder Tribulation!"

   After the words fell, his thoughts moved.

  In the depths of the thunder cloud, a thunder pool is manifesting.

  The liquid accumulated in this thunder pool is the source of the appearance of the catastrophe.

  As his mind moved, the thunder pool manifested, the liquid was consumed rapidly, and the catastrophe above his head seemed to be in a rage.

  In an instant, another thunderstorm fell.

   poured into Jiang Yuan's body from the top of his head.

   Before the one dissipated completely, there was a "stab" sound, and another thunderstorm followed.

  If you practice normally to overcome the three or nine thunder calamities with this frequency, the number of those who can survive is no longer five or five, but one out of ten!

   But Jiang Yuan was overjoyed.

  Because with the thunder calamity falling, he not only felt the improvement of the eternal body, but also felt the slight changes in the physical body and soul under the tempering of the thunder calamity.

   "It's no wonder that according to the records of ancient times, the real Tianjiao must use his body to overcome the thunder disaster!"

   "Looking at it now, it is indeed right!"

   "The thunder disaster is a disaster, and every time a disaster is overcome, there will be some kind of reborn change."

   "This kind of change can only truly achieve the best effect if you overcome the calamity with your physical body!"

  Jiang Yuan talked to himself, with a smile on his face.

   Facing the next thunder tribulation, he no longer resisted, letting the thunder calamity fall on him one after another.

  The power of catastrophe contained in it was also quickly swallowed by the cell particles in his body. After absorbing the power of catastrophe, every cell particle was slowly changing.

   Heavenly Tribulations fell on him one after another, with almost no gaps in between.

  Thirty-nine thunder calamities, a total of twenty-seven thunder calamities.

   The catastrophe that fell was also stronger than one.

   Every time nine catastrophes are successfully brought down, the power of subsequent catastrophes will also rise to a higher level.

  But in front of Jiang Yuan's current strength, Sanjiu Leijie is not worth mentioning at all.

   In a blink of an eye.

  A total of twenty-seven thunder tribulations have all landed.

  As the last thunder disaster landed, the thunder disaster above Jiang Yuan's head also quickly dissipated.

  How fast it just converged, how fast it dissipates now.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

  At this time, Jiang Yuan had no time to pay attention to the changes on the top of his head, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

   I was deeply shocked in my heart.

  Because after he passed the three-nine thunder calamity, a reminder immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

  【Because you have successfully survived the Three Nine Thunder Tribulations and experienced a catastrophe from the Heavenly Tribulation, turning the calamity into a blessing (red) works, and you get a low-level innate luck seed! 】

  Looking blankly at the prompt in front of him, he immediately revealed a hint of surprise.

   This phenomenon undoubtedly greatly exceeded his expectations.

  He never thought that he would get a seed of luck just by going through the tribulation of three or nine thunders once.

  The criterion for judging the red innate luck is a bit too loose.

   But looking at it this way, that is also a good thing.

  I can accumulate more innate luck at a faster rate in the future.

  I can also pick and choose those useful innate luck to improve the quality of the level.

   Immediately he had another joy.

   "In this way, crossing the six-nine thunder disaster should also get new luck seeds."

   He muttered in his mouth, and his eyes suddenly became bright.

  The next moment, he looked up at the sky above his head.

  I saw that the robbery cloud above the head had almost completely dissipated, and the yellow sand was about to sweep the star again.

   At this moment, following Jiang Yuan's thoughts.

   Endless black clouds floated in the sky and earth, rolling towards the sky above his head.

  In an instant, hundreds of thousands of miles around were shrouded in robbery clouds.

   Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan's eyes froze for a moment.

  Compared with the three-nine thunder calamity just passed, the scope of the vision produced by the sixth-nine thunder calamity has been increased by dozens of times.

  Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuanye clicked his tongue.

  This is only six or nine days of calamity, if it is nine or nine days of calamity, what kind of scope should it cover?

   What about the saint robbery and the supreme robbery?

  If they all grow at this rate, the range covered by the tribulation thunder behind them is unimaginable.

  Jiang Yuan suspects that this star may not be able to block such a huge vision just because of the current level of thunder calamity.

"do not care!"

  Jiang Yuan exhaled lightly, and said to himself.

  He then looked at the big boss Lei Jie above his head. Under the trend of his mind, the speed of Tian Jie's formation became extremely fast.

  There was constant roaring above the head, and flashes of light appeared from time to time in the black thundercloud, and then there were muffled sounds.

suddenly.

  A big tree appeared in the black calamity cloud. The thunder emerged from the root of the big tree, and then spread towards the trunk and branches.

  Boom—

   Accompanied by a loud bang.

   Lei Mang, which spread tens of thousands of miles around, instantly formed a big tree with dense branches.

   "It's spectacular!"

  Jiang Yuan murmured.

at this time.

  click—

   There was a loud noise, and a purple tribulation thunder instantly broke through the void, and fell directly on Jiang Yuan's body.

  Jiang Yuan's body trembled slightly when Jie Lei added to his body.

  He instantly felt a burst of catastrophic power dozens of times stronger than before.

   There were bursts of numbness all over his body.

good!

  Jiang Yuan's expression suddenly brightened.

   It took about two more breaths.

  The calamity thunder in his body dissipated completely. As for the power of calamity contained in it, it turned into the merits for his immortal body to improve.

   Not enough!

  Jiang Yuan secretly thought, and then he looked up at the sky above his head.

next moment.

   With a movement of his body, he soared upwards.

   In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the turbulent thundercloud.

  Following his entry, in an instant, the turbulent thundercloud rioted instantly.

  The thundercloud roared continuously, and dazzling lights tore through the thick thundercloud, illuminating the dark starry sky around the star.

   At this time, Jiang Yuan really felt the effect of Thunder Tribulation.

  The six-nine thunder calamity is the thunder calamity that the Faxiang broke through the four extremes, and its power is far greater than the three-nine thunder calamity.

  Any thunder tribulation can easily penetrate the void.

  In Jiang Yuan's view, among the six or nine lightning calamities he has survived, any one of them has the power to kill the ninth level of the normal Dharma Aspect Realm.

  Especially now that he has entered the robbery cloud, he feels that the thunder is even more violent.

   Blazing thunderstorms fell on him all around.

  But he was even more excited in his heart.

  The stronger the thunder that falls, the stronger the effect will be.

  Although he can handle the punishment of heaven now, he can summon the catastrophe of heaven.

  But he couldn't control the Heavenly Tribulation 100%, and the movement at this time was exactly what he wanted.

  At the same time, not far from him, a thunder pond manifested.

  He could see the shallow layer of liquid in the thunder pond.

next moment.

  Jiang Yuan came to the side of the thunder pool against the thunder after another.

  He took another look at the thunder pond in front of him, then raised his hand and stretched into the thunder pond.

  Suddenly, Jiang Yuan showed surprise.

  In this illusory thunder pool, he felt the cold touch of liquid on the fingers he poked in.

  He quickly took out his palm from inside, and immediately found a puddle of liquid in his palm.

   "It turned out to be true?"

  Jiang Yuan showed a surprised look.

  When he looked again, the thunder pool in front of him was slowly disappearing, becoming unreal.

  Seeing this scene, he immediately remembered what he was going to do, and the Thunder Orb suddenly appeared in his hand.

   Then he raised his hand and threw it, and the Thunder Orb in his hand immediately passed through the illusion and fell into the center of the thunder pool.

   "It really works!"

  Jiang Yuan's expression suddenly brightened.

  With Lei Yuanzhu in his hands, he could already replace Lei Chi and let him invite Thunder Tribulation.

  But Jiang Yuan has never done this, just for this scene.
