Lu Ping was currently standing in the middle of a stone cave. Behind him was a rune wall, and behind the wall was the tunnel leading to the mine. Lu Ping could clearly see everything in the mine, but if a person was in the mine, they would not be able to see through the rune wall. Unexpectedly, there was a secret chamber behind the rune wall.
When the rune wall touched his hand, it was as if it was solid. If Lu Ping's Divine Will was far stronger than others, he would not have felt the abnormality the moment the array teleported. Fortunately, the Three Pure True Eyes had just been upgraded by one level, allowing Lu Ping to catch a trace of it. Otherwise, Lu Ping would not have dared to use the Five-Colored Restriction Breaking Talisman to break through the rune wall.
Lu Ping turned around and looked at the secret chamber behind him. On a stone table, there were seven crystal clear stones the size of a thumb.
"It's actually another Kongming Essence!"
According to legend, the Kongming Sect's protective array was extremely complicated. It was the result of the efforts of generations of Kongming Sect's array masters. The cultivators of the Kongming Sect created 32 Kongming Essences to open the array. At that time, there were four Dharma Realm array masters of the Kongming Sect, and Kongwu Laozu was one of them. There were seven Kongming Essences here, and in addition to the one on the stone pillar, there were exactly eight Kongming Essences. Could it be that these were the eight keys that Kongwu Laozu controlled to open the Kongming Sect's protective array?
Among the seven Kongming Essences, there was a jade slip left on the stone table. Lu Ping put away the seven Kongming Essences one by one, and then he used his Divine Will to examine the jade slip.
After a long while, Lu Ping's face showed a slight surprise, but it was more of a pleasant surprise. He then carefully put the jade slip into his storage magic tool. Only then did he stand at the entrance of the secret chamber and look into the mine through the rune wall. His left hand rubbed his chin as he thought about something.
Cang Hai Sect was originally in a period of rapid growth. Although it was not as dazzling as Zhenling in the North Sea, it was an indisputable fact that the sect's strength was growing day by day.
And with the rapid development of the sect, the demand for spirit stones inevitably began to increase. Just as Cang Hai Sect was preparing to plan for more sources of spirit stones, Zhenling suddenly launched an operation to suppress Cang Hai Sect. The mixed mine was suppressed, the spirit stone mine of Frost Island was suppressed, and other small and medium-sized mines and other sources of spirit stones were also suppressed. For a time, Cang Hai Sect's spirit stone income fell into a difficult situation.
The ancestors of the Cang Hai Sect had been worrying about the source of spiritual stones all day long. At this time, the bold idea of stealing the spiritual stone vein of Yuan Ling Island had to appear in the minds of the elders of the Cang Hai Sect, forcing these ancestors to take the risk.
Speaking of the origin of this Hollow Nether Essence, the cultivators of Cang Hai Sect felt that they were quite lucky. That was more than a hundred years ago when Cang Hai Sect had just merged and returned to Illusion Spirit City, and successfully seized the spirit stone share of the medium-sized sects.
After the first distribution of spirit stones, there was one time when Dongguo Laozu used a supreme grade spirit stone to finish his cultivation. The spirit stone that had used up all its spirit energy should have turned to dust. Dongguo Laozu casually threw it on the ground, and there was a clang. A crystal bead the size of a thumb rolled out from the crushed spirit stone powder. This was the origin of the Hollow Nether Essence that Cang Hai Sect had obtained back then.
Cang Hai Sect naturally knew about what had happened to the Hollow Nether Sect in the past. Although they did not know why the Hollow Nether Essence that was rumored to have been destroyed by the large sects had appeared, since the Hollow Nether Essence was still here, then the teleportation formation that Kongwu Laozu had left behind was also here. The words of the large sects back then were just a lie.
After that, Cang Hai Sect began to secretly search for the secret teleportation formation that Kongwu Laozu had left behind on Yuan Ling Island through the Hollow Nether Essence. As expected, they found it in the eighth mine.
At that time, this teleportation formation had been damaged after thousands of years. Cang Hai Sect spent a lot of effort to secretly repair this special teleportation formation. At the same time, they began to figure out the usage of the Hollow Nether Essence. Finally, they accidentally repaired this teleportation formation that bypassed the seal of the cave entrance.
Among them, the teleportation formation inside the mine was attached to the Pulse Suppression Spirit Lock Formation, so it was not damaged. After Cang Hai Sect's Laozu saw this amazing teleportation formation disk, he was afraid that he would accidentally damage it or trigger the formation and be discovered by others. He did not dare to carry out a detailed inspection of this teleportation formation disk. Even if he did, he might not be able to find anything. Therefore, the secret room that Kongwu Laozu had opened behind the rune wall was not discovered by Cang Hai Sect.
Originally, although Cang Hai Sect was facing the pressure of a shortage of spirit stones, after all, they had learned from Hollow Nether Sect's mistake. They only wanted to carefully steal a small part of the spirit stones, but they did not expect that they would be forced into such a situation.
There was no other way. The mysterious person had complete control of the secret reincarnation technique and had already seen through Cang Hai Sect's plan. Cang Hai Sect had no choice but to give in. Otherwise, Cang Hai Sect's dream of becoming a great cultivator would probably be pushed back for another few hundred years. At that time, who knew to what extent Cang Hai Sect would be suppressed by Zhenling!
In the blink of an eye, a night had passed. Lu Ping stood in front of the rune wall in the stone cave, motionless, as if he was waiting for something.
Rumbling sounds came from Yuan Ling Island once again. Although Lu Ping was currently deep underground, the sounds of battle still rang out like muffled thunder. Mara's army had begun their attack once again.
Lu Ping's spirit was roused. He opened his mouth and spat out twelve Genchen Beads that shone with a five-colored light. One by one, they flew into the rune wall, and then dispersed in all directions. Then, the five-colored light suddenly disappeared, and the twelve Genchen Beads disappeared as well.
Lu Ping opened his right hand, and a Rank 9 White Jade Lotus bloomed in his palm. Lu Ping also threw it towards the ground outside the rune wall. A few rune patterns flashed on the ground, and the lotus instantly melted into the ground and disappeared.
After a short while, the rune patterns on the rune wall in front of Lu Ping suddenly began to move at high speed. In an instant, some of the rune patterns dimmed, while others brightened. Suddenly, a simple teleportation array disc was formed. This array disc began to spin rapidly, and a spatial whirlpool began to form in the middle of the mine. The white teleportation light immediately shone brightly.
Lu Ping's eyes also lit up with two green rays of light. He looked towards the teleportation light. A praying mantis had unknowingly appeared on Lu Ping's shoulder. When it saw Lu Ping, it immediately jumped and fell into Lu Ping's palm.
A figure suddenly appeared in the white light. Without saying anything, Lu Ping's right hand stretched out from the rune wall. It was unknown when the scissors spirit treasure had been cut into two, but it was already in Lu Ping's right hand. Lu Ping then used the scissors to cut the figure!
Zhang Xiyi carefully avoided all kinds of divine senses. He arrived at the rocky mountain and activated the teleportation array. When he arrived at the mine, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, a fierce killing intent suddenly rose from behind Zhang Xiyi, causing all the hairs on his body to stand on end.
Someone was plotting against him. How was this possible!?
Zhang Xiyi didn't have time to think about how someone would ambush him here. He already knew that he had fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.
Zhang Xiyi pushed the protective Qi out from his body with a thought. At the same time, Zhang Xiyi leapt forward. The Daoist robe he wore also flashed with runes that looked like starlight.
However, as these protective measures were activated, Zhang Xiyi's heart sank even more.
Amidst the crackling sounds, these protective measures were broken by the ambusher as if they were made of paper. Before Zhang Xiyi could move again, he felt a chill on his legs. Two blades of light crisscrossed in front of Zhang Xiyi. In the midst of his horrified scream, his whole body had already fallen forward. Behind him was a pair of legs that had fallen to the ground before his body. Blood sprayed out like a fountain, and then Zhang Xiyi, who had fallen to the ground, took the opportunity to turn around and stop the bleeding.
The mantis on Lu Ping's arm waved its big blades excitedly. Lu Ping raised his eyebrows. This scissors was indeed a second-disaster spirit treasure. With one blow, it could actually injure a top mid Dharma adept so easily.
"Who is it!"
Zhang Xiyi looked at the pair of short legs in front of him. His face was already pale. He had already summoned the Blood Orange Sword. As long as he turned the sword and stabbed it under his feet, oh, under his buttocks, he would immediately be able to activate the Pulse Suppression Spirit Lock Formation and summon the practitioners from the various sects.
However, Zhang Xiyi did not dare to do so. Once he did so, not only would he die, even the ambusher might not be caught. However, the matter of the Vast Sea Sect stealing spirit stones would definitely not be covered up. When that happened, it was very likely that the entire sect would be buried with him!
Lu Ping took a step out from the rune wall. Zhang Xiyi's eyes instantly widened and he cried out in shock, "Who are you? How did the Northern Alliance's Laozu Spirit Treasure Scissors end up in your hands!"
Lu Ping snorted coldly. A sword light whirlpool suddenly formed beside him. The Seepage Sword Formula surrounded Lu Ping. A series of crisp sounds could be heard from inside. Countless thin needles that were hard to see with the naked eye were smashed by the sword wall and fell to the ground, forming a crystal color.
"Lu Tianping, you are Lu Tianping. Why are you here!"
Just as Zhang Xiyi saw the Thin Water Flowing Sword and howled in disbelief, a lightning suddenly struck the heavily injured Zhang Xiyi from the sword wall.
Zhang Xiyi, who was originally trying to escape, had a change of expression. The Blood Orange Sword in his hand scattered a dark light, and instantly annihilated the lightning in the mine.
Zhang Xiyi's legs once again spurted out two streams of blood. He shouted loudly, "You're crazy. Aren't you afraid of causing the Pulse Suppression Spirit Lock Formation to shake and summon the practitioners from the nine sects and the Crystal Palace? By then, Vast Sea Sect and Zhenling will be finished together!"
Lu Ping's face was cold and solemn. Without saying a word, the Thin Water Flowing Sword circled and strangled Zhang Xiyi from both sides.
Zhang Xiyi knew that he could not escape today. He did not dodge the strangling of the Thin Water Flowing Sword. The Blood Orange Sword in his hand suddenly stabbed towards the ground. Obviously, he wanted to trigger the Pulse Suppression Spirit Lock Formation and drag Lu Ping down with him. At this time, he could no longer care about the righteousness of the sect.
