Of course, the important part of the Ziyang Palace's inherited sword technique was not the sword technique itself. In fact, this sword technique was just a set of basic sword techniques left behind by Jiao Daoren. It was only suitable for Core Forging cultivators to consolidate their cultivation.
What was truly valuable was Jiao Daoren's handwriting. This sword technique itself only had a few hundred words, but almost every word Jiao Daoren wrote contained a set of sword techniques and a sword intent. These sword techniques were either high or low, strong or weak, hidden or visible. The Ziyang Palace had not studied all the words on this sword technique for tens of thousands of years.
Every time they thought that the things contained in the words of this sword technique had been excavated, there would always be one or two geniuses who inadvertently comprehended this sword technique. The reason why the Ziyang Palace was known as the number one sword sect in the world was because of the words of this sword technique. This sword technique was also regarded as an inherited treasure by the Ziyang Palace. It was even more precious than the flying swords that Jiao Daoren had once used.
Moreover, something similar had happened. That was the Heaven Splitting Sword Saint, Xiao Baiyu.
In the past, Xiao Baiyu found the broken flying sword that Jiao Daoren had broken when he opened up the cultivation world of the East Sea in a mystic realm. At that time, there was a stone tablet engraved at the place where the broken sword was buried. There were eight words written on it, "Heaven Splitting Sword Saint"!
After that, Xiao Baiyu integrated the broken sword back into his natal flying sword. He then carried the stone tablet engraved with these eight words back to the Heavenly Sword Sect. After that, he faced the wall in front of the stone tablet and cultivated in seclusion for decades. When he appeared in the cultivation world again, Xiao Baiyu already had two sets of supreme sword techniques that were completely different from Skyrend's inheritance, as well as several sets of powerful and sharp sword techniques. With the Heaven Splitting Sword, he dominated the world. He defeated the crystal, forced the Kun Fish, killed the Pure Yang, traveled the Ice Field, and broke into the Endless Mountain. He had never tasted defeat and was called "Heaven Splitting Sword Saint" by the cultivation world.
Lu Ping struggled out of the shocking news written by Jiao Daoren with great difficulty. After calming down, Lu Ping soon found the doubts in it. He asked curiously, "The Northern Alliance has disappeared. Why did the female cultivator come back to East Sea to spread the news?"
"This is also the reason why Uncle Master only sent the two of us to investigate after receiving the news. If the female cultivator of the Northern Alliance really wanted to take revenge on Hanye Laozu and the others for betraying the Northern Alliance, what she should have done was to spread the news in Middle Mainland. There are many sects in the cultivation world of Middle Mainland, and it is far more prosperous than overseas. Even East Sea is not comparable to it. The sects in Middle Mainland should really covet the Heaven Splitting Relic. In any case, the female cultivator should not have gone back to East Sea to spread the news."
However, Lu Ping thought of a sect and a cultivator in Jiao Daoren's handwritten letter. He turned around and asked, "Senior Brothers, what happened to the female cultivator after she spread the news?"
Tian Tian and Tian Yuan looked at each other and said, "After that, she was controlled by the people of the Crystal Palace. Rumor has it that the Crystal Palace took a fancy to the Heaven Splitting Relic, so they captured the only person who knew about it. This is in line with the domineering style of the Crystal Palace."
"No, no, no!"
Lu Ping seemed to have grasped something in his mind. He said, "When I went down the Qing Ming River earlier, I seemed to have found many cultivators from the Middle Mainland. They seemed to have come for the treasure ship. Why? Did the news come from overseas?"
Tian Tian and Liu Tianyuan also showed confusion in their eyes. Liu Tianyuan thought for a while and said, "This is also what puzzled us. When Senior Brother Tian Tian and I came to the South Middle Mainland, there was no movement about the treasure ship in the Middle Mainland's cultivation world. However, in the past few days, there was a sudden uproar. It seemed that the entire cultivation world suddenly knew about it. Cultivators from all over the world came to the South Middle Mainland in an attempt to intercept the treasure ship of the Northern Alliance on the Qing Ming River."
"Intercept the treasure ship?"
Lu Ping was speechless. Then, he said with some amusement, "They have to have the ability to do so. Even the Pure Yang Laozu would have to avoid a treasure ship with a Grand Adept. How could they intercept it? These Middle Mainland cultivators are used to being arrogant. They don't know the true power of the treasure ship. "
Tian Tian also laughed and said, "Indeed. Previously, there were many impatient cultivators who tried to intercept the treasure ship. There were many Dharma adepts among them. They clearly thought that the treasure ship was just a turtle shell that the overseas sects used to pass through the Stormy Ocean. Unexpectedly, they all returned in failure. It was only after they lost a few Dharma adepts that they stopped and followed the treasure ship."
Lu Ping thought of the day when he met the treasure ship on the Qing Ming River. There were dozens of divine senses hidden in the void that were probing him unscrupulously. He could not help but say, "Yes, there are indeed many people. Previously, there were only overseas cultivators. It was not until there were more and more people that the direct descendants of the five holy lands were recently sent out. I think they are here to expel these people. Of course, this includes us."
Although Lu Ping said so, images flashed in his mind one after another: the Heaven-opening Relic, the treasure ship, the female cultivator, the news, the Crystal Palace, Mara's army, Magic Cloud City, the Five Elements Peacock, the leak of the secret, the gathering, the expulsion. Lu Ping seemed to want to connect all of these with one line, but he always felt that it was contradictory. It was not until Lu Ping thought of Xiao Baiyu because of Jiao Daoren's handwritten letter that he inexplicably thought that there might be another force that had already intervened. This might not be a plot, but a plot within a plot. It was a battle that the two sides had already begun to play with each other to break the stalemate.
Lu Ping said in a low voice, "The treasure ship is not far from Magic Cloud City. A good show is about to begin. It seems that we can't miss it!"
Tian Tian was a little reluctant and said, "Just to watch?"
Lu Ping also said helplessly, "If there is no accident, we can only watch. But even if there is an accident, I'm afraid we can only run for our lives!"
The three of them flew all the way, but with Lu Ping's previous speculation and the obstruction of the cultivators of Nine Mysteries Tower and Skyward Pavilion, the three of them did not travel along the Qing Ming River. Instead, they flew in the general direction of the Qing Ming River after they were dozens of miles away from the river.
However, after only a moment, Lu Ping slowed down and then helplessly shouted to the void not far away, "Brother Su, it's really a coincidence to meet you here. Could it be that you also want to fight with me?"
"Haha, sure enough, I can't hide from you, Brother Lu!"
Su Jin tore apart the concealment in front of him and walked out from the void, and then he said, "Those two bastards from Nine Mysteries Tower suffered a loss at Brother Lu's hands. After they returned, they've been lobbying everywhere as if they're afraid that others don't know their intentions. I'm naturally aware of Brother Lu's strength, but I still have to come and persuade you."
Lu Ping cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I'll remember Brother Su's good intentions. However, I'm afraid that the matter of the treasure ship is not something we can participate in. I only rushed over to watch the show from afar!"
Su Jin's expression turned solemn, and he said, "Looks like Brother Lu has already guessed something. In this way, I can rest assured."
"I have indeed guessed something."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "But Brother Su, it's better to be careful. With such a large force, the person you're dealing with is naturally difficult to deal with. They naturally won't allow themselves to be captured without a fight, and they'll definitely counterattack. At that time, Brother Su will probably be a dispensable figure who plays a supporting role. Brother Su, you should hide in the chaos if you can!"
Su Jin didn't take it seriously, and said, "Relying on these mobs who rushed here after hearing the news? If they are all like Brother Lu, then we will naturally have a headache. But now, hehe, I still have to thank Brother Lu for reminding me. It's a mission. If it's others, I don't care, but if it's really that person, hehe! "
Lu Ping had already hinted, but Su Jin obviously didn't take it seriously, and even showed an eagerness to try. Lu Ping naturally knew the reason, but he couldn't say anything more.
Although Lu Ping had guessed something, the two sides of the secret game were obviously not people that Lu Ping could provoke. So, all Lu Ping could do was to stay silent and hide as far away as possible to wait for the result of the two sides.
Free Clouds Laozu arranged Bai Yun Laozu, who was seriously injured by the formation's backlash, to be in the Dao Soldier Formation, and then led the surviving cultivators of Magic Cloud City to break out of the encirclement.
The Magic Cloud City had been breached!
At the moment when Free Clouds Laozu was hesitating, the island-protecting formation disk in which Bai Yun Laozu was stationed began to backfire because of the sudden sneak attack. Then, the fierce attack of Asura outside the city broke the city-protecting formation in one fell swoop, and at the same time, Bai Yun Laozu was even more seriously injured by the formation's backlash.
Mara's army instantly rushed in, and countless cultivators of Magic Cloud City were instantly buried in the torrent of Mara's army.
Protect Bai Yun Laozu!
Free Clouds Laozu didn't hesitate at this moment. As long as the two of them were great practitioners, they might be able to rebuild Magic Cloud City!
Free Clouds Laozu didn't even care about the disciples around him who were calling for help. He activated the only second-tribulation spirit treasure of Magic Cloud City and broke out of Mara's encirclement. In the secret chamber of the City Lord's Mansion, he found Bai Yun Laozu, who was still fighting with the sneak attacker despite being an arrow at the end of its flight.
Compared with Mara, who had breached the city, Xian Yun Laozu wanted to kill the culprit who had sneaked into Magic Cloud City and attacked the cultivators of Magic Cloud City from behind, which eventually led to the fall of Magic Cloud City.
However, the sneak attacker was extremely vigilant. He had been covered by a cloud of colorful mist. At the moment when he found that something was wrong, he threw out a Teleportation Talisman, turned into a beam of rainbow light, and disappeared.
"Rainbow Transformation Secret Technique, the secret technique of Lingyun Valley!"
At this time, Free Clouds Laozu was like a wounded beast, gnashing his teeth and spitting out these words.
"Senior, Senior Brother!"
At the moment when Free Clouds Laozu appeared, Bai Yun Laozu finally let out a breath of Spirit Qi. He suddenly became very dispirited, but his mind was not affected. When he saw Free Clouds Laozu's blood-red eyes, he hurriedly said with difficulty, "It's just a Talisman, it's nothing!"
After all, he was a monster who had lived for thousands of years. Xian Yun Laozu, who had calmed down in an instant, carried her on his back and said, "Magic Cloud City, it's over. We have to survive, recruit disciples, rebuild Magic Cloud City, and take revenge!"
Hundreds of miles south of Magic Cloud City, a red light flashed across. A thin man with piercing eyes flashed out of the red light and came to the side of a well-dressed middle-aged man.
Looking at Mara's army covering the huge Magic Cloud City in one fell swoop, a middle-aged practitioner said, "Well done, Magic Cloud City, it's over. The show has just begun!"
