No one knew how that Asura was able to pull out such a large Mara army from the Ocean of Storms. Its strength far exceeded that of the Battle of Frost Island.
Under the strong appeals of the various sects in the North Sea, Zhenling finally stopped suppressing the Blue Sea Sect. The various sects' practitioners entered Scarlet Mist Island and began to join forces to resist the attack of Mara's army on Scarlet Mist Island. And Jiang Tianlin's pursuit of Zhang Xiyi had to stop first. After all, both the Blue Sea Sect and Zhang Xiyi had paid a huge price this time.
However, Zhenling's suppression of the Blue Sea Sect for two years had created unimaginable pressure on the Blue Sea Sect. Just as the disaster of Mara swept through the northwest sea again, Zhenling had just given up on suppressing the Blue Sea Sect under the persuasion and pressure of the various sects in the North Sea. Then, another shocking news came from the Blue Sea Sect: the East Pole Laozu had fallen under the second lightning tribulation, and the Blue Sea Sect's dream of becoming a Dharma adept had finally come to an end!
The Blue Sea Sect was probably going to fall!
This became the voice of almost the entire North Sea Sect.
Although the news that the East Pole Laozu was about to advance to the late Dharma stage had spread throughout the North Sea Sect a few years ago, the entire North Sea Sect attributed the death of the East Pole Laozu to Zhenling's suppression, and the outbreak of the disaster of Mara was the last straw. The East Pole Laozu was eager to break through and escape the Blue Sea Sect's current predicament, so he had to take a risk. Unfortunately, he failed. The Blue Sea Sect undoubtedly placed all their hatred on Zhenling, but they had no choice but to hide this seed of hatred deep in their hearts, waiting for the day when it would take root and sprout.
It was not that the Blue Sea Sect did not want to hide the news of the fall of the East Pole Laozu, but in the end, it failed. Just as the entire North Sea was concentrating on Mara's invasion on Scarlet Mist Island, Jiang Tianlin Laozu's communication jade slip brought Lu Ping a surprising piece of news: Zhang Xiyi had actually gone to the East Sea!
Because Zhenling had the widest sphere of influence on the entire Scarlet Mist Island, Zhenling's task of defending against Mara's invasion was the most important. With the Celestial Laozu in charge of the sect and the head Liu Tianling in control of the overall situation, Jiang Tianlin Laozu was the best candidate to take charge of the defense of Scarlet Mist Island. He could no longer take care of his own personal affairs. At this time, Jiang Tianlin could only hope that Lu Ping could continue to pursue Zhang Xiyi on his behalf.
Slowly, Lu Ping also began to understand the meaning of Jiang Tianlin's move: he wanted to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!
With the fall of the East Pole, no one in the Blue Sea Sect would be able to reach the late Dharma stage in the next one or two hundred years, and among the second generation disciples of the Blue Sea Sect, only Zhang Xiyi had the qualifications and hope to replace the East Pole Laozu.
It could be said that the future of the entire Blue Sea Sect could only be supported by Zhang Xiyi. Zhenling naturally saw Zhang Xiyi's role, and the Blue Sea Sect also knew that under such circumstances, Zhenling would definitely choose the opportunity to get rid of Zhang Xiyi. Therefore, when the disaster of Mara broke out and the cultivators of the various sects were mobilizing their troops, the Blue Sea Sect let Zhang Xiyi take the opportunity to leave the North Sea. At least he could leave a spark for the future rise of the Blue Sea Sect.
But all of this did not escape Jiang Tianlin's calculations. When Zhang Xiyi had just made his move to the East Sea, Jiang Tianlin had already received the news and sent the news to Lu Ping. His purpose was very clear, he hoped that Lu Ping would continue to go to the East Sea to kill Zhang Xiyi.
Seeing the change in Lu Ping's expression, Sixth Brother Lei smiled and asked, "What kind of trouble did you encounter that could make you, Lu Tianping Laozu, so troubled? I'm afraid it must be something earth-shattering, right?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "I'm afraid Huang Li Island will need Brother Lei to hold the fort again!"
Sixth Brother Lei had just condensed his Dharma Power, so he still needed time to consolidate his cultivation. Therefore, Lu Ping did not stay in the secret room for too long. After leaving the secret room, the entire Huang Li Island suddenly shook. Lu Ping was slightly startled. When he spread out his Divine Telekinesis, he heard Lu Qin-er's clear and melodious chirp with a trace of joy.
Lu Ping's heart moved, and he appeared in a col behind the cave residence. As Huang Li Island expanded, the terrain of Huang Li Island also changed. Lu Ping's cave residence was located in the center of the entire island.
The fiery light that soared into the sky flashed from the mountain valley, almost illuminating the entire sky in crimson red. A huge Cyan Luan was hovering excitedly above the mountain valley, shuttling through the fiery light from time to time, as if it was bathing in fire.
When Lu Ping arrived, Lu Qin-er finally descended from the sky and said excitedly, "Big Brother, look! This is the Fire Vein that I stimulated and nurtured!"
The col was the exit of the Fire Vein, and the tumbling magma was like boiling water. This was actually a small-scale Fire Vein. Lu Ping looked at Lu Qin-er with a surprised expression and said, "Qin-er, didn't you say that the Fire Spirit Pearl was just a miniature spirit pearl? It was already good enough to nurture a miniature Fire Vein. How did it turn out to be a small-scale Fire Vein? From the looks of it, the quality of the Fire Vein is rather good. The fire is extremely pure!"
Lu Qin-er said embarrassedly, "Qin 'er has mistaken. After all, the Fire Spirit Pearl is even rarer than the Spirit Amassing Pearl. Qin' er only described it in my inherited memories. However, without our Phoenix Race's bloodline inheritance secret art, it wouldn't be easy to nurture this Fire Vein!"
Lu Ping knew that Lu Qin-er was speaking the truth. The Fire Phoenix Race was publicly acknowledged as the elves of fire in the cultivation world. Although Lu Qin-er didn't have a pure Fire Phoenix bloodline, her cultivation might not be inferior to the direct descendants of the Fire Phoenix Race.
Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "Qin-er, I might be going to the East Sea soon. Do you want to follow me?"
Lu Qin-er looked at the Fire Vein in the middle of the col. This was the new home that she had painstakingly built for herself. For this, she had pursued Dabao on Huang Li Island for an entire year. Only then did she obtain enough treasures to execute the Fire Phoenix's secret art and nurture the Fire Spirit Pearl into a Fire Vein.
However, Lu Qin-er also knew that Lu Ping might bring her to the Fire Phoenix Race on this trip to the North Sea. This was an opportunity for her, and it was related to the growth of her cultivation. Lu Qin-er naturally didn't want to miss it.
"Wherever Big Brother goes, I will go!"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "You stay here for a period of time first. There's no hurry to go now! "
Ignoring Lu Qin-er's cheers, Lu Ping turned around and returned to his cave abode, entering his secret cultivation room.
Right now, the Spirit Vein on Huang Li Island was converging into the third mid-sized Spirit Vein. The spiritual energy in Lu Ping's cultivation room was so dense that it could choke an ordinary person to death.
In the underground spring where the spiritual energy originated from, Lu Dagui was sleeping in the water. In this spirit pond that Lu Dagui created, 18 Wuling Fish Dao soldiers had already advanced into the Blood Condensation Realm. Some of the more outstanding ones had even advanced into the mid-stage of the Blood Condensation Realm. There were 36 Wuling Fish of the second generation that had survived, and they were now at the late-stage of the Blood Refining Realm. The 81 Wuling Fish of the third generation had only just reached the Blood Refining Realm and were not qualified to become Dao soldiers yet.
These Wuling Fish were a gift from the Tian Xuan Sect to Lu Ping when he was traveling in the Middle Earth. The Wuling Fish was one of the strongest Dao soldiers in the cultivation world, but it was also one of the most difficult to cultivate. After decades of cultivation, even though Lu Ping was rich, he only managed to cultivate three generations of Wuling Fish, and there were only slightly more than a hundred of them. Most of the time, these Dao soldiers were taken care of by Lu Dagui.
Lu Ping took out a water bowl and sucked it towards the pond. Lu Dagui, the Wuling Fish, and the spiritual water in the pond were all sucked into the water bowl by Lu Ping. The spring gurgled and the water began to fill up the entire pond again.
After leaving the cave abode, Lu Ping once again summoned all his disciples. Looking at the disciples below him, Lu Ping said, "I will be going on a long journey in the near future. This time, it will take at least three to five years, and at most, it will take several decades. All of you must be careful and diligent. Don't let your cultivation fall behind."
The disciples all bowed their heads in agreement. The eldest disciple, Wang Xuanqi, said, "I wonder where Master will be going? We brothers and sisters can accompany you!"
Lu Ping shook his head and said, "This time, I will be going to the Eastern Sea first. I don't know where I will be going after this. As the eldest disciple of the Hearing Surf Manor, you need to take care of the affairs on Huang Li Island on my behalf. The cultivation of you brothers and sisters is still too weak. You will only be a burden if you go!"
Lu Ping ignored the embarrassment on the disciples' faces and said, "The Northern Sea is currently in troubled times. It is not good for all of you to cultivate diligently. You need to go out often to gain experience. Although it is dangerous, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation."
The disciples all listened attentively. A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Ping's face and he continued, "Master has a few treasures here that I don't normally use. Today, I will give them all to you. However, don't blindly rely on the power of these treasures to bully others. You must know that your own cultivation is the foundation. Without a deep cultivation, even if you have a treasure, you will only be able to display some of its power."
When the disciples heard that Lu Ping wanted to divide the treasures, their faces lit up with joy. Lu Ping's face sank and he gave them another lecture before handing over a Spirit-Sealing Box and the water bowl containing the Wuling Fish to Wang Xuanqi. He said, "Xuanqi, you are my eldest disciple. Currently, your cultivation is at the Third Layer of Core Forging. The foundation you have accumulated is enough for you to step into the Mid Core Forging Stage. However, the Spirit-Sealing Box I am giving you contains a low-grade Heaven Gold Stone."
Seeing the awkward expression on Wang Xuanqi's face, Lu Ping smiled and said, "Of course, I'm not asking you to use a heaven-grade origin treasure on your first try. Instead, I hope that you can use this heaven-grade origin treasure on your second try and break through to the Late Core Forging Realm!"
Hearing this, Wang Xuanqi heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I will definitely not disappoint you, Master!"
Ordinary practitioners who could refine a low-grade Heaven Gold Stone for the third time would already be considered a reserve Dharma adept of the sect. Who knew how much effort the sect would put in to cultivate them? However, Lu Ping wanted Wang Xuanqi to use a Heaven Gold Stone for his second attempt. It was obvious that Lu Ping wanted Wang Xuanqi to be nurtured like a disciple of a large, established sect, or even one of the Six Holy Lands.
