The Space Stone was an essential item used by practitioners to create storage instruments. In the world of practice, it was already considered a rare treasure. The Space Stone essence was the essence of the Space Stone that had been condensed. Only those who were at the level of a master craftsman would be able to complete the process of condensing it, and the Space Stone essence was a necessary item to create a secret treasure.
Although this small piece of Space Stone essence was not enough to create a secret treasure, it was still very valuable. At this time, Lu Ping could already confirm that this Zhang Xiyi had sneaked into the mine to steal spirit stones. Lu Ping thought about it and decided to take this piece of Space Stone essence with him, trapping Zhang Xiyi in the mine and waiting for the Cang Hai Sect to be exposed. Then, Zhenling could strike when he was down.
In a secret room in Phantom City, the two Dharma adepts who had been pursued by Lu Ping were inside.
"Young Master, we have found out that the Cang Hai Sect is currently stationed at the number eight mine on Yuan Ling Island."
The mid Dharma adept reported respectfully to the adept in front of him.
"Good!"
The young master clapped his hands and smiled. "This Zhang Xiyi really has some tricks up his sleeve. It seems that he has seized the opportunity. Perhaps he has already sneaked into the mine on Yuan Ling Island and begun to excavate spirit stones."
"Young Lord is wise. This subordinate has also participated in the battle against Devil Luo's army on Yuan Ling Island in the past few days. Indeed, I did not see that Zhang Xiyi appear. However, every time Devil Luo's offensive stopped and the cultivators of the various sects returned to their encampments, Zhang Xiyi would appear again."
"Speaking of which, this Cang Hai Sect is really lucky. They were even able to obtain the Space Stone essence left behind by Kongwu Laozu. Sir, according to your estimation, how long will it take for the protective matrix of the entire Phantom Five Islands to be affected?"
The young master sighed and turned to ask the adept.
The cultivator pondered for a moment before saying, "If the protective formation of the Five Islands is really as the young master said, and has a lot to do with the spirit stone veins of the five islands, then according to this old servant's estimation, the protective formation of the Five Islands will be affected by the loss of balance between the five spirit stone veins in five to three days at most."
The Friar paused and added, "Of course, it also depends on how crazy Zhang Xiyi is in mining the Spirit Stones in the veins. If Zhang Xiyi is more crazy about mining, the imbalance between the five Spirit Stone veins will become more serious, and the protection formation will be weakened even more, but …"
The Young Master was stunned and said, "But what is it? Mister, please tell me!"
The mister nodded and continued, "But once the five Spirit Stone veins are out of balance, I'm afraid that the Crystal Palace and the nine sects will immediately notice it. Once they notice it early, maybe they will quickly take remedial measures. At that time … we will have less manpower after all!"
The Young Master had already understood a little of the mister's meaning. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled and said, "Well, I just want to kill as much as possible. As long as Mara's army can take the opportunity to break through the protective formation and slaughter in the Five Phantom Islands, even if the Five Phantom Islands are eventually guarded by the Human and Demon Clans, the purpose of this trip to the East Sea will be achieved!"
The mister was about to leave after reporting the matter, but he suddenly wanted to say something, but he was a little hesitant for a moment.
A glimmer of light flashed in the Young Master's eyes, and he said, "Mister, do you have anything else to say? There is no need to be so polite between us!"
"Yes!"
The mister was still respectful and said, "The Kongming Sect was famous for its array skills. Although it was only a medium-sized sect, its achievements in array skills had indeed reached the peak. There were six Dharma adepts in the sect, and four of them were Array Grandmasters. In the entire sect, there were as many as eight Array Grandmasters!"
The Young Master frowned and said, "Mister, what do you mean?"
"It is rumored that the Kongming Sect set up a shocking array in the Kongming Sea to protect the sect. The key to unlocking this array chain is the 32 Kongming Essences, which are controlled by four Dharma adepts. Kongwu Laozu, who was stationed on Yuan Ling Island and stole the spirit stone mine, was one of them. The Kongming Essence that the Kongming Sea Sect obtained may have been left behind by Kongwu Laozu. Young Master, don't you want to …"
The Young Master suddenly understood and smiled. "I know that you are obsessed with array skills and are one of the rare Array Grandmasters in the world. However, you may not know this. Although the Kongming Sect was famous for its array skills, and the sects of the East Sea attacked the Kongming Sea in the past, even though they did not find all 32 Kongming Essences in the end, under the powerful attacks of Laozu, no matter how exquisite the array was, it would still crumble. Today, although the Kongming Sea is still shrouded in broken array restrictions and has become a dangerous place in the South Sea, the heritage of the Kongming Sect has long been plundered by the sects of the East Sea!"
The Young Master was still a little unwilling. "Perhaps there are still some array secrets that have not been discovered!"
The Young Master smiled and said, "Perhaps. Since Mister insists on making a trip to the South Sea, then I'll take the Space Essence from Zhang Xiyi once the matter here is settled. However, Mister shouldn't hold too much hope!"
The Young Master was overjoyed and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Young Master!"
At the same time, in the Phantom Palace of the Phantom City, Perfected Xuan Xu hurriedly walked in and bowed to the three Laozu who were sitting quietly in the palace. "I am the second-generation disciple of Zhenling, Xuan Xu. Under the orders of Uncle-Master Tian Kang, I have something to report to the three Laozu!"
"Zhenling?"
One of the Laozu opened his eyes and smiled. "What does Fellow Daoist Tian Kang want you to report?"
Perfected Xuan Xu hurriedly said, "Senior Yuanchong, a few disciples of our sect were hunting outside the island before Mara's army passed through, but they were ambushed by the Wind Asura. After the left arm of a third-generation disciple was chopped off, his flesh and bones began to rot. According to Martial Nephew Lu Tianping, this should be a Poison Asura!"
"Poison Asura!"
Patriarch Yuan Chong from Water Crystal Palace was not the only one. Even the other two great cultivators abruptly snapped open their eyes to stare at Sage Enigma. Like sharp blades, Sage Enigma instantly felt as though an unparalleled power was about to descend upon him. Even his juniors began breaking out in cold sweat.
"Is it really a Poison Asura?"
The grand cultivator on the left asked again.
Perfected Xuan Xu could only lower his head and say, "Senior, I have brought the broken arm of the injured Martial Nephew Xuan Peng. The three Laozu may take a look!" With that, Perfected Xuan Xu took out Perfected Xuan Peng's broken arm from his storage artifact. It was no longer rotten after being treated by Lu Tianping.
The Laozu on the right waved his hand, and the broken arm appeared in front of him. After examining it carefully for a moment, he slashed in the air and the broken arm appeared in front of Yuanchong Laozu. Then, he heard Laozu sigh. "It really is a Poison Asura. They can actually rush out of the Infinite Poison Sky Wall!"
Yuanchong Laozu's expression was extremely ugly after seeing it. He said, "First, the Heavenly Demons appeared, and now there are Poison Asura. How many more secrets are there in Mara's army?"
The grand cultivator on the left also had an ugly expression. He said, "Let's inform the various sects first. The Poison Asura has severely damaged various formations, but Mara's army has not used them to attack the island's protective formation. This means that either Mara's army has other plans, or there are too few Poison Asura to be able to do anything big!"
Yuanchong Laozu said to Perfected Xuan Xu, "We already know about this. I will inform the other sects about your warning as soon as possible. We will also remember your contribution!"
Perfected Xuan Xu quickly said, "Yes, I will take my leave!"
Seeing Perfected Xuan Xu leave the Phantom Palace in a hurry, the three Laozu were silent. Only faint spatial fluctuations appeared around the three of them.
After a while, the Laozu on the right sighed softly. "These are troubled times. It seems that Chuye died a little too early. This person's poison technique against the Poison Asura might save us a lot of trouble by fighting poison with poison!"
Yuanchong Laozu and the other Laozu kept quiet. This Laozu also knew that what he said was useless, so he laughed at himself.
After a while, it was Laozu on the left who said, "Back then, I wanted to open the Sky Wall of Myriad Poisons. For this, I did not hesitate to destroy the Hollow Nether Sect and obtain twenty-four Hollow Nether Essences. In the end, although the Sky Wall of Myriad Poisons would weaken every once in a while, I did not expect it to become a secret place for the Poison Asura to nourish!"
Laozu on the right retorted, "You can't say that. At least ever since the Sky Wall of Myriad Poisons was opened, every time the Sky Wall of Myriad Poisons weakens, cultivators from various sects would enter en masse and reap great rewards every time!"
Yuanchong Laozu suddenly said, "Let's wait and see. Now that the Three Realms have fallen into Mara's Calamity, the Fallen Secret Land is like an isolated island. Without outside help, we can only rely on us to resist. We cannot cause more trouble before the enemy. After Chuye's death, the Northern Alliance still has some strength in Phantom City, but we need to appease them."
Lu Ping weighed the pros and cons, but in the end, he did not take the Hollow Nether Essence away. After restoring the Hollow Nether Essence to its original color, Lu Ping returned it to its original position on the stone pillar. He himself went to the forest in the north of Cang Hai Sect's encampment and disappeared.
In the evening, Mara's army retreated again. Dense streams of light began to descend from the sky above Yuan Ling Island. The exhausted cultivators from various sects did not even have the energy to make a ruckus. After returning to their encampment, they began to recover their vital energy.
After Dongyun Laozu returned to the encampment with the Cang Hai Sect's cultivators, Lu Ping could see that his expression was very ugly. The Cang Hai Sect had originally sent forty to fifty cultivators to the Phantom Five Islands this time, but after two days of battle, they had lost four or five people, and more than a dozen people were injured.
After Dongyun Laozu arranged for his disciples, he walked towards the rocky area in the east as if nothing had happened, as if he was taking a casual stroll.
After a while, when Dongyun Laozu returned from the rocky area, there was Zhang Xiyi behind him. From a distance, it seemed that the two had been discussing some secret matter in the rocky area.
However, what the two did not know was that in the forest only a thousand feet away from them, there was already a pair of eyes watching them.
