Just as Mo Li killed Nanyu Laozu, somewhere in the void of the South China Sea, a beam of light suddenly broke through the shackles of space and condensed into the shadow of a three-legged, two-eared cauldron on the surface of the sea. Then, the shadow broke apart and turned into boundless Creation Spirit Qi that spread over the sea.
At this time, when the fish at the bottom of the sea and the birds in the sky flew past the spreading Spirit Qi, their eyes showed intelligence that was different from that of animals. Among them, a seabird with long legs and a sharp beak was particularly clever. After flying over the sea, it immediately circled and returned to the rapidly dissipating Spirit Qi, repeating this process over and over again.
At the same time, huge waves appeared in many parts of the South China Sea. From time to time, huge islands would suddenly float up from the bottom of the sea, and many islands that had existed for god knows how many years suddenly began to shake and change direction. Amidst the long roars, ferocious and huge turtle heads stretched out from under these islands. These islands were actually Sky Hegemonic Divine Turtles that had been sleeping for god knows how many years, but the moment the three-legged, two-eared cauldron appeared, they all woke up.
The huge turtles turned their bodies on the surface of the sea and slowly bowed their heads in the direction where the three-legged, two-eared cauldron had appeared.
Then, some of the huge bodies that were several miles in circumference or even larger suddenly disappeared from the surface of the sea, or sank to the bottom of the sea with a loud bang. After that, the entire South China Sea returned to peace.
However, the scene of countless Sky Hegemonic Divine Turtles floating on the surface of the sea and worshipping the cauldron still fell into the eyes of many cultivators of the South China Sea. As a result, the entire cultivation world of the South China Sea was shaken. From time to time, beams of light flashed above the residences of various clans and sects, exchanging information back and forth, but none of them knew what was going on.
In the depths of the Boundless Mountains, a series of deafening cries rang out, almost causing half of the Boundless Mountains to fall silent. Then, five pillars of five-colored light flashed and disappeared in the depths of the Boundless Mountains.
As if responding to the five pillars of five-colored light, on the other side of the Boundless Mountains, a huge cicada-shaped figure flashed and disappeared in the air. Although it was only a shadow, the moment it appeared, countless demon cultivators in the entire Boundless Mountains worshipped it.
At the southeast edge of the North Ice Field, a sky-reaching mountain suddenly shook. Countless human-shaped giant apes circled around the mountain, and only then did the mountain stop shaking.
An elderly ape with a head of white fur who had lived on the summit of the mountain for countless years slowly made his way over to the edge of the mountain, then said something to the giant apes that were clinging onto the mountain. Several tens of giant apes leaped down from the mountain, then flew toward the Central Plains as streaks of light.
In the depths of the East Sea, three enormous whirlpools, each with a radius of ten miles, suddenly formed. Vast amounts of seawater poured into these three whirlpools, but it was as if they had encountered three bottomless abysses. The enormous phenomenon lasted for a whole two hours before it slowly disappeared.
Chu Fanyun floated above the surface of the sea and gazed toward the southeast. He muttered to himself, "What could it be? Who could it be?"
The Heavenly Wall of Myriad Poisons in the Perished Mystery Land suddenly shrank and expanded, then swayed like a huge roly-poly doll. In the end, it calmed down, leaving only the Heavenly Wall of Myriad Poisons, which shrank and expanded, leaving nothing but barren land and all the fish and shrimps it passed.
The volcanoes on the Scarlet Mist Island in the North Sea erupted together, causing many casualties to the cultivators of the various sects stationed on the island. Then, nearly a hundred spiritual fires of heaven and earth scattered in all directions as the volcanoes erupted. In order to fight for the spiritual fires of heaven and earth, the sects engaged in another chaotic battle, resulting in countless casualties.
However, the moment the volcanoes on the Scarlet Mist Island erupted, in the depths of a volcano where the Fire Phoenix Clan of the East Sea resided, several powerful experts of the Fire Phoenix Clan sensed something. Not long after, several streaks of light set off from the Fire Phoenix Clan's residence, heading toward the North Sea.
Just as the six monstrous clans were in a state of turmoil, in the skies above the Five Holy Lands of the Central Plains and the Crystal Palace, strange phenomena were occurring one after another.
In the skies above the Skyward Pavilion, which was the closest to the South Sea, a thick layer of dark clouds covered the entire sky, causing the sun and the moon to lose their light. Fortunately, this phenomenon only appeared for a moment, and then the dark clouds disappeared.
In the Lingyun Valley, which was close to the Endless Mountains, a blood-red light pierced through the heavens, illuminating half the sky.
In the heartland of the Central Plains, a rainbow-colored storm of spiritual energy formed in the skies above the Nine Mystical Tower, between the Yulan River and the Qingming River. The storm wreaked havoc within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius of the Nine Mystical Tower, causing the spiritual energy in this area to be twice as dense as usual, causing many loose practitioners to cheer.
The Violet Sun Palace was located in the western part of the Central Plains, between the Qingming River and the Yulan River. Not long after Lu Ping killed Nanyu Laozu, several sword cries rang out in the skies above the Violet Sun Palace. All the disciples of the Violet Sun Palace within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius unsheathed their flying swords. The hilts of their swords faced the Violet Sun Palace, while the tips of their swords pointed outwards.
To the north of the Nine Mystical Tower, in the Wuxing School located in the middle reaches of the Yulan River, five towering streams of spiritual energy gathered in the center, gradually forming a giant cauldron made of spiritual energy. However, this cauldron looked more like a giant wine cup.
At the same time, deep within a mountain in the heartland of the Central Plains, a similar phenomenon occurred in the skies above the Yuwen clan. A river of lightning descended from the heavens, then disappeared into the depths of the mountains, not causing a single ripple.
Outside the East Sea, amidst a series of shattering sounds, an enormous crystal hammer once more smashed downwards. Amidst yet another series of shattering sounds, the crystal hammer also disappeared from this crystalline land.
In an indescribable place in the bitter cold northwest of the Central Plains, the roars of tigers rang out incessantly. The strange people who were walking around here all came to a strange halt, glanced in the direction of the roars, and then began to go their own ways.
And at this moment, on a treasured ship thousands of miles away from the estuary of the Qingming River, the cultivators who had just crossed the Stormy Ocean were cheering and jumping on the treasured ship. A strange light suddenly burst out from the treasured ship, condensing into a piece of cloth in the air above the treasured ship, or perhaps it was more like a handkerchief?
Many of the cultivators on the treasured ship were stunned by this phenomenon, and then the shadow of the handkerchief that was condensed from the light shattered. The cultivators on the treasured ship looked at each other, seemingly at a loss. However, there were also a few who had their eyes darting around, not knowing what to do in their hearts.
Of course, Lu Ping did not know that in that instant, almost the entire cultivation world, be it the humans or demons, or all the major forces, had been alarmed. At this moment, he was still immersed in the shock of how easily he had killed a Grand Cultivator and a mid Dharma adept with two swords just now.
Although the Sword of the Real Spirit was now considered his personal treasure, it had only gone through one lightning tribulation after all, and its power was still so strong. Lu Ping was now more and more convinced that what he had obtained in the Sacred Lake was the Horn of the Real Spirit that Jiao Daoren had begged Taoist Hu to refine into a flying sword, but was unable to obtain it, and had helplessly abandoned.
Mo Li's power shocked Lu Ping, and even more so the other cultivators who had chased after Lu Ping. Lu Ping suddenly came to his senses, knowing that he was not out of danger yet. He looked down and searched through the storage artifacts of Nanyu Laozu and Guang Yu.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, Lu Ping seemed to have thought of something. He reached into the sea, and the Ruyi Jade that had been cut in two by the Sword of the Real Spirit immediately flew out of the sea.
Just a piece of jade was able to grow all the way to a first-calamity spiritual treasure. Obviously, this piece of jade was not simple. Even though it had been cut in two and the spiritual treasure's weapon spirit had long been destroyed, it was still a treasure that was hard to come by.
On Kongming Island, the cultivators from the various sects who had swarmed in finally began a chaotic battle. After Lu Ping left, the battle became even more intense.
Ever since the Five Elements Tortoise appeared in the South Sea, the Disaster of Mara had broken out on a large scale in the South Sea. One of the four major sects in the South Sea, the Honghai Pavilion, which was closest to the Five Elements Tortoise, was the first to suffer. One of the two great cultivators in the sect had died while defending against Mara's attack, and five or six of the other Dharma adepts had also been drowned by Mara's army.
If it were not for the reinforcements from the Yuwen family, led by Yuwen Jinglei, who had arrived in time, this major sect that had stood in the South Sea for thousands of years might have even been wiped out.
Even so, after Mara's army had retreated, the Honghai Pavilion, which had long been in shambles, would no longer be able to maintain its position as one of the four major sects under the leadership of only one great cultivator.
After that, Mara's army once again gathered and surrounded the Yulin Sect. This sect, which had always maintained a low profile in the South Sea, finally stopped concealing its strength in this moment of life and death. Even though the Yulin Sect had fallen into Zhenling's trap in the Fallen Secret Territory and lost two third generation Dharma adepts, the overall strength of the Yulin Sect had been reduced to almost nothing.
The three great cultivators of the Yulin Sect, as well as the eighteen Dharma adepts of the entire sect working together, actually managed to fend off the attack of Mara's army in one fell swoop. After that, Yuwen Jinglei led the cultivators from the Yuwen family and the two families worked together to repel Mara's army. The Yulin Sect had only lost one mid Dharma adept and two early Dharma adepts.
Originally, the Yulin Sect had repelled Mara's army with the help of the Yuwen family, and the entire Yulin Sect was very grateful to the Yuwen family. Unexpectedly, at this time, bad news came from Kongming Island. The great cultivator of the Yulin Sect, Nanyu Laozu, had actually fallen at the hands of Wen Yuan, a formation master of the Yuwen family. At the same time, the third generation elite Dharma adept of the Guangfa Sect, Cheng Guangyu, had also been killed, and Wen Yuan was nowhere to be found.
The Yulin Sect and the Yuwen family had fallen out with each other, and the Guangfa Sect had also sent a cultivator to interrogate Yuwen Jinglei. Even though Yuwen Jinglei had tried his best to explain, everyone knew that there were many suspicious points and flaws in the story. Most importantly, with Wen Yuan's mid Dharma level, how could he have killed Nanyu Laozu? Could it be that Wen Yuan was a second Xiao Baiyu?
Then, everyone thought of the thunder clouds that had been hanging over Kongming Island for more than a year. Could it be that Wen Yuan had obtained some kind of earth-shattering spirit treasure on the island that allowed him to kill a late Dharma adept in one fell swoop?
Not long after, news came from the Yuwen family of the central plains that Wen Yuan's soul lamp had been extinguished more than a decade ago, which meant that the Wen Yuan who had appeared on Kongming Island that day was someone else in disguise.
