"Oh, it's Brother Su from Zi Yang Palace. Thank you, Changsheng!"
Mu Changsheng naturally recognized the Frost Brocade Sword, one of the Six Legendary Swords of Zi Yang Palace. Although he was slightly surprised, he was also overjoyed. However, what made him even more curious was the swordsman who had come with Su Jin, who had trapped a Jade Shura in the light of his flying sword.
Zi Yang Palace had really been hiding more and more after being humiliated by Xiao Baiyu. Since when did they have another swordsman who was comparable to the Six Legendary Swords? And from the looks of it, he was only at the early Dharma stage!
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's get rid of these Mara first before catching up. Otherwise, if more come, we'll be trapped!"
Zi Yang Palace and Wuxing School were both part of the Five Holy Lands. Su Jin and Mu Changsheng were of similar status. Naturally, he would not be courteous to him. Moreover, now was not the time to be courteous.
The three of them together could fend off five Jade Mara. The strong defense of the two Ba Tortoises made it easy for a few Blood Mara to attack.
After fighting for a while, the five of them finally broke through. With the two Ba Tortoises leading the way, they quickly rushed out of the Five Elements Fog.
Along the way, they did not encounter another Blood Demon Luo. When the fog dissipated and the sun hung high in the sky again, everyone returned to the boundless blue sea of the South Sea. It was really amazing.
"This is really strange!"
Su Jin said calmly, "We did not encounter a single Mara along the way. Could it be that all the Mara went for Mu Ge? But it doesn't look like it. No matter how few Mara there are in the Five Elements Fog, there shouldn't be only a few Jade Mara!"
A trace of doubt flashed across Mu Changsheng's face, and then he said, "Brother Su, you must be joking. It's all thanks to Brother Su, this friend, and Brother Xiang that I was able to safely exit the Five Elements Fog this time. By the way, I haven't asked your names yet. I'm Mu Changsheng from the Wood Element School of Wuxing School."
Lu Ping maintained his composure and said with a smile, "You flatter me. This Brother Gui we invited is Brother Xiang Xiping. I am Lu Tianping of Beihai!"
"Aiya!"
Mu Changsheng came to a sudden realization and said, "So it's Brother Lu from the North Sea. I've long heard that there's a Water Sword Immortal in the North Sea, a famous sword cultivator among our peers. Now that I've seen you today, you really do live up to your reputation. No wonder Brother Xie from the Purple Sun Palace and Brother Sang from the Spirit Taming Beast Sect hold you in high regard!"
Lu Ping smiled faintly and said, "Mu Ge is overpraising me!"
"Alright, alright, enough with the small talk!"
Su Jin impatiently interrupted their compliments and said, "The Five Elements Hidden Tortoise has hidden in the Void. I'm afraid the Five Elements Fog will disperse soon. When that time comes, Mara's army will definitely wreak havoc in the South Sea's cultivation world. We can't stay here any longer. I'm going back to the Central Plains. Brother Lu, what are your plans? Are you willing to stay at the Purple Sun Palace for a while?"
Lu Ping smiled and shook his head, "I've told Brother Su before that I'm going to the Dark Space Sea!"
Su Jin slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Look at my memory. Let's part ways here. When Brother Lu comes to the Central Plains in the future, don't forget to visit the Purple Sun Palace. You have more than one good friend!"
After that, without waiting for Lu Ping to speak, Su Jin's figure flashed and he was already dozens of miles away. After a few more flashes, he disappeared into the horizon.
At this time, Mu Changsheng also smiled and said, "I'm also going back to the Central Plains. Brother Lu, if you have any needs in the Central Plains in the future, you can come to the Wuxing School and I will do my best to help."
After that, he exchanged a few words with Ba Gui, then cupped his hands towards Lu Ping and flew away.
Xiang Xiping and Mu Changsheng didn't seem to be too familiar with the Ba Gui that had come with them. The two of them only had a brief conversation before the Ba Gui left.
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Brother Xiang, are you tired and looking for a place to sleep?"
Xiang Xiping smiled and said, "How would I dare to sleep now? If the Lightning Tribulation strikes while I'm sleeping, I'll be struck into a turtle. It just so happens that I'm going to the Dark Space Sea to find a senior and undergo my first Lightning Tribulation there. Since we're going the same way, I'll give you a ride!"
The Dark Space Sea became famous in the cultivation world because of the Kongming Sect!
Although the Dark Space Sea was called a sea area, it was actually just a coral reef that covered an area of less than a thousand miles. It was not much bigger than an inner lake.
However, ever since this sea area was chosen by the Dark Space Sea as the location for the establishment of the Kongming Sect, generations of Formation Masters, Formation Grandmasters, and Formation Grandmasters of the Kongming Sect constantly built new formations, repaired old formations, and improved the weaker ones. As a result, the formations in this sea area were connected to each other, and after thousands of years, there were traces of formations everywhere.
Even though the various sects in the Outer Seas had joined forces to encircle and annihilate the Kongming Sect, the Formation that covered the entire Kongming Sea could not be completely eradicated. This was because the various sects had used forceful methods to break through the Kongming Formation in order to attack the Kongming Sect, causing the entire Formation to collapse and become entangled with each other. It was even more difficult to eradicate it.
It was not that the various sects from the Outer Seas could not do it, but the price was too high. To complete this task, not only did they need to gather the Formation Grandmasters and Formation Grandmasters of the various sects from the Outer Seas, it would take decades or even centuries to completely clean up the remnants of the formations in this sea area. It was not worth it. Furthermore, these formations were the culmination of the thousands of years of Kongming Sect's Formation Masters, and could be said to be the pinnacle of formations in the entire cultivation world. Not a single Formation Master would be willing to dismantle such a living formation specimen.
To Formation Masters, the Dark Space Sea was their holy land!
Thus, in the thousands of years after the Kongming Sect was annihilated, a continuous stream of formation cultivators from the South Sea, the East Sea, the Central Plains, and other places came to study the remnants of the formations left behind by the Kongming Sect and verify what they had learned.
However, these formations would gradually lose their effectiveness with the passage of time. Then, some Formation Master began to study the remnants of the formations and gradually began to maintain the remnants of the formations that he could analyze, hoping that the remnants of the formations would be preserved forever. Unexpectedly, this behavior was recognized by many Formation Masters.
After that, an unknown Formation Master would often leave behind a formation that he was proud of after leaving the Underworld Space Sea. This matter gradually became a custom. After that, for thousands of years, the formations in the Underworld Space Sea did not weaken in the slightest as time passed. Instead, they became more and more strict and unpredictable.
Lu Ping stood on the outskirts of the coral sea and hovered higher and higher. From his vantage point, he looked down at the Space Nether Sea that spanned a thousand miles. The entire Space Nether Sea was shrouded in various array formations. Under the sun's rays, the entire Space Nether Sea was shrouded in a layer of illusionary colors.
Although Lu Ping had never seen the encampment of the Crystal Palace, the bizarre scene before Lu Ping looked more like a huge Crystal Palace to him.
Lu Ping was not in a hurry to enter the Dark Space Sea. Instead, he found a spot on the outskirts of the coral reefs and began to isolate himself.
Lu Ping was naturally not here to train. At this time, his level of training had already reached the limit of what an early Dharma adept could achieve. Once he started training, it was highly likely that he would attract his first lightning punishment.
Lu Ping now naturally wanted to make as many preparations as possible in order to enter the Dark Space Sea. Although he did not specialize in formations, his Path Companion was Zhenling's current second-ranked Formation Master. Under her influence, she had more or less dabbled in formations.
Of course, just based on this alone, Lu Ping was completely unqualified to enter the Dark Space Sea. What Lu Ping was really relying on was the eight Dark Space Essence that he had found in the spirit stone mine on Yuan Ling Island. These eight Dark Space Essence were the true keys to entering and exiting the Dark Space Maze.
At that time, along with the eight Dark Space Essence, there was also a jade scroll. This jade scroll did not record the legacy of the Dark Space Sect's formations. However, it clearly explained how to use the Dark Space Essence and how to enter and exit the Dark Space Maze.
However, these records were only about the situation of the Dark Space Sect thousands of years ago, before the Dark Space Maze was destroyed. At this time, the Dark Space Maze had long collapsed, and it was unknown whether the Dark Space Maze could be used again. Furthermore, besides the remains of the Dark Space Maze, there were many remnants of formations left behind by past masters who had studied the Dark Space Maze. In order to truly get close to the Dark Space Maze, Lu Ping first had to break through these remnants left behind by later masters.
Of course, this was not all that Lu Ping had up his sleeves. The reason why he had isolated himself was actually for two things. One was to completely condense the "Three Pure Eyes" and gather the nine types of special water. With the "Jade Sobering Eye Fluid" as the main body, he would construct a truly remarkable eye technique.
Although this would still not be like Ape Taoist in the past, who could see through everything with his spiritual eyes, at least many of the flaws in the Dark Space Maze would be revealed in front of the Three Pure Eyes.
The second thing was to craft talismans, to craft the Restriction Breaking Talisman!
Although Lu Ping's talent in crafting talismans was average, it was the first technique he had mastered after becoming a cultivator. In the past two hundred years, along with the growth of Lu Ping's cultivation, Lu Ping's talisman crafting technique had also been forcefully honed by Lu Ping to a certain level. At least in Tian Xue Laozu's opinion, the current Lu Ping could barely be considered as a master talisman crafting.
All these years, Lu Ping had put all his effort into the Restriction Breaking Talisman. Especially after advancing to the Transcendence Realm, with the help of his cultivation and the accumulation of his divine sense, he was able to successfully craft the Five Colored Restriction Breaking Talisman.
However, these talismans were extremely precious. Not only was the difficulty in crafting them high, but the cost to craft them was also very high. The amount of Five Colored Restriction Breaking Talismans that Lu Ping had accumulated was not a lot.
Previously, when he returned to the Northern Sea, Lu Ping had thought of ways to obtain two more Seven Colored Restriction Breaking Talismans from Tian Xue Laozu. However, Tian Xue Laozu had extorted him ruthlessly. The price he had to pay was extremely high.
After that, Lu Ping wanted to go to the Talisman Crafting Pavilion to look for Daoist Xuan Ju to exchange for some Five Colored Restriction Breaking Talismans. Unexpectedly, he was rejected. Daoist Xuan Ju's reasoning was very reasonable. Since Lu Ping was already a master talisman crafting, why not try crafting the Five Colored Restriction Breaking Talisman himself? If he needed high grade Talisman Papers, the Talisman Crafting Pavilion would be able to provide a batch. Of course, Lu Ping still needed to use treasures to exchange for them.
