The Cang Hai sect had done everything very cleverly. Unless it was someone like Lu Ping who had specifically come to find trouble with Zhang Xiyi, no one would have noticed that the Cang Hai sect had revealed such strangeness on the chaotic Yuan Ling Island.
The next day, at dawn, there was a deep roar from the sea outside Yuan Ling Island. Mara's army once again approached Yuan Ling Island, and another battle was about to break out.
Although the various sects listened to the orders of the three Dharma adepts, they were still clinging tightly to the small groups of their own sects and never separated. The three Dharma adepts were also helpless and could only assign tasks to each sect. However, it was impossible to take a portion of the cultivators from one of the sects as reinforcements, backups, or reinforcements. These sects were acting as a whole.
Lu Ping's current identity was that of a Dharma adept who was not affiliated, so he had more freedom on Yuan Ling Island. The Core Forging adepts who were not affiliated were not so lucky. They had long been taken in by the three Dharma adepts and assigned to various tasks.
However, just as Lu Ping watched the entire Cang Hai sect begin to move, he suddenly realized that other than Dongyun Laozu, Zhang Xiyi had disappeared again!
How was this possible?
Lu Ping frowned. He had been secretly monitoring the Cang Hai sect's base all night, but he had not discovered anyone secretly leaving. Lu Ping was very confident in his divine will and did not think that Zhang Xiyi could avoid his senses and leave. So how did Zhang Xiyi disappear in front of him?
Lu Ping took advantage of the time when the Cang Hai sect's large group of adepts left to sneak into the base, which was guarded by a few disciples of the Cang Hai sect. Although there were Core Forging adepts among these disciples, and there were many warning and defense mechanisms in the base, they were not enough for Lu Ping.
The base was on a gentle slope. To the west was a puddle, or rather a small lake, to the east was a rocky field, to the north was a forest, and to the south was the sea. In the center of the base was a mine that the Cang Hai sect was responsible for guarding.
This mine was one of the entrances to the spirit stone mine on Yuan Ling Island. Currently, the Cang Hai sect was responsible for guarding it. This was also why the sect had set up their base here.
The spirit stone mine on Yuan Ling Island was different from the one on Frost Island. The spirit stone mine on Frost Island used the mine in the center as the entrance, and after going deep underground, it split into eight branches that went deep underground.
On the other hand, the spirit stone mine on Yuan Ling Island was the opposite. It was a main vein that stretched out from underground, and then split into ten branches that led to the surface. Each branch had a mine on the surface of Yuan Ling Island.
The entrance to the mine had been completely sealed at this time. The formation used to seal the entrance was provided by the fifteen sects on Yuan Ling Island. Not only did the formation seal the entrance, it also covered the ground near the entrance. There were eight entrances to Yuan Ling Island, and the eight formations were connected to each other, covering the entire surface of Yuan Ling Island under the formation. Even if someone wanted to open a new mine on Yuan Ling Island, they would not be able to.
Every time a mine was opened, cultivators from each of the 15 sects would have to use their unique secret techniques in order to open it. Otherwise, even a great cultivator would not be able to open a mine or create a new mine without alerting the cultivators from the other sects.
Lu Ping first eliminated the possibility of a mine, but no matter if it was the bottom of the lake, the forest, the sea, or even the stone forest, he never found anything out of place.
Lu Ping thought for a moment, and then his eyes immediately shone with blue light. Carrying a thread of golden light that had yet to be completely refined, Lu Ping's eyes suddenly shot out blue light that was almost a foot long. They looked like two solid blue longswords.
Hm?
The blue light in Lu Ping's eyes immediately withdrew, and he walked towards a stone pillar on the left of the mine entrance.
After examining the stone pillar for a long time, Lu Ping's eyes occasionally flashed with blue light. Finally, Lu Ping's expression turned joyful and he said, "It's here!"
He reached out and touched the stone pillar carefully, then he dug with his hand. A small stone that looked the same material as the stone pillar appeared in Lu Ping's hand.
Lu Ping immediately condensed a ball of bluish-purple light in his hand. As the stone was immersed in the True Essence, its color faded, revealing a crystal-clear gemstone underneath.
Hollow essence, it really is this kind of thing. Canghai Sect actually has such luck to be able to get such a treasure of heaven and earth.
This means that Zhang Xiyi is very likely to be in the mine at this time, so this Zhang Xiyi must be going for the spirit stone in the mine. Stealing the spirit stone of the mining vein, if I expose this, even if this Canghai Sect is not exterminated, I'm afraid they will be expelled from Yuan Ling Island, and they will never be qualified to return to Phantom Island.
Lu Ping held this piece of hollow essence in his hand and admired it for a moment. He suddenly thought of something and thought, "No! Even if there is hollow essence in hand, with the level of Canghai Sect, how did they know to bypass the cave sealing array and set up a teleportation array to the mine? This is a secret technique inheritance that only the formation masters of the Kongming Sect knew! "
Lu Ping activated the [Three Pure True Pupils] again and looked at the Space Ming Essence in his hand. The green light that shot out from his eyes engulfed the Space Ming Essence completely. This time, Lu Ping finally saw faint runes on the surface of the Space Ming Essence, forming a miniature array formation. If it wasn't a teleportation array formation, what else could it be?
Kongming Sect, this Canghai Sect actually obtained the legacy of Kongming Sect!
This Kongming Sect was also a famous medium-sized sect in the South Sea. It was one of the twenty-five medium-sized sects in the South Sea. Their share of spirit stones was obtained from Yuan Ling Island.
This Kongming Sect was famous for its formations. The entire sect was made up of formation masters who specialized in formations. For many years, cultivators of the Kongming Sect participated in the mountain guarding array of the sects in the South Sea. Even the island guarding array of the Phantom Spirit Five Islands had formation masters from the Kongming Sect. If it wasn't for the fact that formation masters were too rare and the requirements for cultivators were as strict as pill concoction and weapon forging, with the influence of Kongming Sect in the South Sea, they could have been promoted to the level of a large sect.
As the saying goes, greed is insatiable. In the past, the cultivator of Kongming Sect who was ordered to guard Yuan Ling Island was also a Dharma Idol. Moreover, he was also a formation master. Faced with the temptation of the spirit stone vein on Yuan Ling Island, or because he wanted to challenge the formation seals of the caves of the fifteen sects, this Laozu devoted himself to research. He actually used the secret carving technique of Kongming Sect to arrange a miniature teleportation array on the hollow essence. Then, he arranged a secret teleportation array in the mine of the spirit stone vein by taking advantage of the opportunity of entering the mine to mine spirit stones normally.
There were eight main mines on Yuan Ling Island, and this Laozu arranged a secret teleportation array in seven of them. This way, every time the spirit stone vein on Yuan Ling Island entered a period of rest, this Laozu would use the teleportation array to secretly enter the mine and mine spirit stones without restraint.
Originally, this Laozu wanted to arrange a teleportation array in all eight mines. However, it was a pity that this Laozu did not do things discreetly and was too greedy. The traces of him mining spirit stones without restraint were too obvious. Very quickly, this alerted the other sects on Yuan Ling Island, and then alerted the Crystal Palace and the various sects at that time.
With the cooperation of the various sects, they very quickly caught the Kongming Sect formation master who was about to arrange a teleportation array in the eighth mine.
After that, according to this Laozu's confession, the various sects consecutively removed the secret teleportation arrays that they had set in the other mines. The hollow essence that had been used as a transfer channel was also destroyed.
Originally, this matter could have come to an end. At most, they would have just killed this Dharma adept and expelled the Kongming Sect from the Five Islands of Illusionary Spirits.
However, the various sects did not stop there. Instead, they continued to gather people and went all the way to the Kongming Sea in the South Sea. They completely destroyed the Kongming Sect that was located there. This matter caused a huge uproar in the overseas training world.
The Kongming Sect was indeed a large formation sect. Although its strength was only considered a medium-sized sect, with its endless number of strange formations, the cultivators of the various sects still paid a heavy price in the war.
After the war, the sects that had invited the Kongming Sect to help arrange the protective formation all claimed that the Kongming Sect had bad intentions. They had left huge loopholes in the formations that they had arranged for them. Even the protective formation of the Five Islands of Illusionary Spirits had a huge flaw. Once the various sects were faced with danger, they would definitely be controlled by the Kongming Sect.
Although this reason was convincing enough, at that time, there were still many different speculations in the world of training.
There were rumors that the Kongming Sect had used the loopholes in the formations to sneak into the sects several times and steal many treasures. However, the sects did not know about this until the incident at the Yuan Ling Island mine. The Kongming Sect's formation master who had been captured had confessed everything in order to save his life. Only then did the various sects realize that the Kongming Sect was behind all this.
There were also speculations that the various sects were actually coveting the Kongming Sect's Divine Will Sculpting Technique. This was the unique secret technique of the Kongming Sect's formation masters in the world of training. It was also the foundation of many of the Kongming Sect's formations. Unfortunately, after the Kongming Sect had been destroyed, this secret technique had never appeared again.
In short, the reason for the Kongming Sect's destruction became a big mystery in the world of training. There were many speculations about the reason for the Kongming Sect's destruction. The various sects that participated in the destruction all kept their mouths shut after the incident. They only claimed that they had been threatened by the Kongming Sect and had attacked the Kongming Sect in order to eliminate the hidden danger.
Lu Ping did not expect the Cang Hai Sect to be able to obtain a Kongming Essence carved with the so-called teleportation formation. Hadn't the eight miniature teleportation formations made by the Kongming Sect's formation master stationed on Yuan Ling Island been destroyed by the various sects? Where did the Cang Hai Sect get this one?
Although the sects usually took turns to guard these mines, they would also check on each other. The Cang Hai Sect had no chance to enter the mines to steal spirit stones. This was also a rule set after the Kongming Sect's incident. The only time the Cang Hai Sect had a chance to do this was when the other sects were busy resisting the attack of Mara's army on Yuan Ling Island. This was too much of a coincidence!
But this was the strange thing. The secret teleportation formation was definitely not set up overnight. Even if the Cang Hai Sect had planned this, how did they know that Mara's army would suddenly besiege Yuan Ling Island at this time? This was too much of a coincidence!
For a moment, Lu Ping felt that the whole thing was complicated and strange. Lu Ping felt as if he had unknowingly stepped into a trap set up by others.
