Mara's army was going to surround the Nine Profound Tower!
Lu Ping had no time to be shocked. He had to escape from the encirclement first!
The Cloud Sail had weakened the Jade Demon's harassment and sneak attacks. Samling, Lu Qin-er, Lu Xiaohai, and the others no longer had any scruples. They joined forces and attacked. The surface of the Qing Ming River had already been turned upside down by the two sword dragons formed by Lu Ping's Thin Water Flow Sword. The three Jade Mara were also being pinned down by Lu Ping.
Lu Ping saw that the time was ripe. He had single-handedly thrown the Mara's army that was gathering on the Qing Ming River into chaos. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Ping laughed bitterly to himself. No matter how vigorous his True Essence was, he wouldn't be able to sustain such an intense consumption of True Essence when he was seriously injured. This time, his injuries were even more serious.
But if he couldn't break out of the encirclement now, once the Mara's army came from two directions to reinforce him, not only would Lu Ping have no chance to escape, but he would also die.
Lu Ping held his hands in the air and an extremely dense purplish-blue light began to condense. Twelve five-colored stars flashed in the middle of the purplish-blue light. Then, Lu Ping abruptly pressed the light down into the river beneath his feet!
Twelve five-colored pillars of light shot into the sky from the Qing Ming River, and twelve huge waves rolled up from different directions. Everything within a mile of Lu Ping was covered in water, and it was impossible to tell north from south. Countless Mara were suppressed and swallowed in this world of water.
At the same time, under the cover of the huge waves, a blooming white jade lotus gradually appeared in the river and began to close up. The huge flower also began to gradually shrink until it disappeared.
Just as the white jade lotus disappeared into the Qing Ming River, the twelve beams of colorful light that shot into the sky suddenly disappeared. The various spiritual treasures and the numerous cultivators who had been wreaking havoc in the group of Mo Luo also disappeared abruptly. The boiling river gradually calmed down, but the surviving Mo Luo still had not recovered from the earth-shattering scene.
Three Jade Mara gathered together in a sorry state. While guarding against Lu Ping, who was hiding somewhere, they began to regroup the defeated Mara's army. At this moment, several beams of light came from the north and west. Several Jade Mara and Blood Mara came as reinforcements. There was even an Asura among the Mara that came from the north, which made all the Mara present worship.
Looking at the doomsday-like scene, the Asura's furious roar made all the Mara present fall silent. They just knelt on the ground, not daring to make the slightest movement.
As the Asura continued to roar, groups of Mara immediately moved. In the Qing Ming River, in the mountains on both sides, in the woods, and even further places, they began to search for traces of Lu Ping. The Asura also followed the groups of Mara from time to time, trying to find Lu Ping who had just disappeared.
However, no matter how hard these Mara searched, they never found any trace of Lu Ping. In such a short time, where did Lu Ping hide?
At this moment, Lu Ping was hiding in the water vein of the Qing Ming River. Even he himself didn't know that he could break through the water vein of the Qing Ming River and hide in it.
Just as Lu Ping used the Natal Genchen Formation to activate this section of the Qing Ming River, there was a moment when Lu Ping actually discovered that as the Qing Ming River moved, the water vein hidden at the bottom of the Qing Ming River was also affected.
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. The White Lotus Formation caught the movement of the water vein and opened the spatial entrance to the water vein of the Qing Ming River.
Lu Ping was overjoyed. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Genchen Formation, he instantly recalled Samling and the others. Without waiting for the Qing Ming River to calm down, Lu Ping and the others had already entered the water vein through the White Jade Lotus.
However, Lu Ping still didn't dare to be careless. He activated the Art of Sea Deception and worked hard to become one with the water vein. Indeed, moments later, the chaos caused by Lu Ping was discovered by Mara's armies in the north and west. When reinforcements arrived, an Asura followed.
Everyone knew that the water vein was hidden in the Qing Ming River, but it was extremely rare to find someone capable of entering the water vein. Even Mara, who was thought to be an essence spirit, might not be able to discover the water vein of the Qing Ming River.
However, the water vein was extremely fragile. If Lu Ping made any strange movements in the water vein, it could destroy the water vein's concealment. Not only could he be discovered by the Asura who was constantly monitoring the Qing Ming River, he could even cause damage to the water vein of the Qing Ming River.
The two largest rivers in the Central Plains were the Nether River, while the other was the Yulan River. This was something that everyone knew. However, rivers were hard to find, and every single one of them was extremely hard to find. Even if you were able to find it immediately, it could disappear into the river at any time.
In the world of cultivation, there were very few people who could capture a water vein and use it. Firstly, water veins were difficult to find. Secondly, it was difficult to keep a water vein under control. As for the two largest water veins, the Qing Ming River and the Yulan River, they were even more difficult to use.
The only way to find these two water veins was by using the Yulan River vein that the Koi clan and Wuxing School used, and the Qing Ming River vein that the Nine Mysteries Tower and Skyward Pavilion used.
Seeing that countless Mara were searching the Qing Ming River but were unable to find Lu Ping hiding in the water vein, the Asura grew impatient. With a whistle, the numerous Mara began to regroup and head towards the Nine Mysteries Tower. Compared to the great battle they were about to face, this lucky fellow who had escaped their search was nothing.
Even though Mara had left, Lu Ping, who was hiding in the water vein, was not in a hurry to come out. This was because no matter which river it was, it would always be erratic. It was not easy to find it.
Moreover, Lu Ping specialized in water attribute techniques. A water vein was the condensation of the essence of a river. To Lu Ping, any water vein was a great opportunity for him to train. The effect was no less than Lu Ping discovering a large spirit vein and enjoying the benefits of it. What's more, this was the largest water vein in the Central Plains, the Qing Ming River.
Moreover, when Lu Ping had used the "Art of Sea Deception" to merge with the water vein, he had already discovered that his injuries were healing quickly under the nourishment of the Qing Ming River's water vein.
Originally, the injuries Lu Ping had suffered from this technique would require at least two to three years of recuperation. Now, it seemed that he would only need a year at most to completely recover from his injuries. Moreover, he was fortunate enough to be able to control the Qing Ming River's water vein and make use of it. No matter what, Lu Ping would not let go of this opportunity.
The water vein of the Qing Ming River was extremely difficult to control. It was easy for Lu Ping to enter the water vein for a while, but as time passed, he would discover that the water vein was flowing away. Moreover, it was extremely difficult to find out where the flowing water vein was going.
Fortunately, Lu Ping's attainments in the Dao of Water were quite profound. The "Art of Sea Deception" was also an extremely exquisite inheritance. After Lu Ping worked hard to merge with the water vein, he was finally able to control the Qing Ming River's water vein well. He had never missed the opportunity to control the Qing Ming River's water vein.
Circulating the "North Sea Wave Listening Technique", the water essence of the Qing Ming River continuously surged into Lu Ping's body, healing Lu Ping's injuries and increasing his cultivation at the same time.
Just as Lu Ping was hiding in the Qing Ming River's water vein and cultivating, the Nine Mystical Tower was facing its biggest crisis since it had established itself as one of the Five Sacred Lands. Hundreds of thousands of Mara, led by nearly thirty Asuras and five Heavenly Demons, surrounded the Nine Mystical Tower from all directions. At the same time, an endless stream of Mara's army appeared from all directions and gathered towards the Nine Mystical Tower. The number of Mara's army attacking the Nine Mystical Tower continued to grow, and for a time, the world was shaken.
The other four Sacred Lands of the Middle Plains sent out orders to the cultivation world to reinforce the Nine Mystical Tower, calling for the entire cultivation world to head to the Nine Mystical Tower to kill Mara. This attracted the response of many sects and powers in the Middle Plains.
However, just as the cultivators from the various sects began to gather and head towards the Nine Mystical Tower's territory, they encountered layers upon layers of resistance from Mara's army. Countless Mara fearlessly attacked the cultivators from the various sects and powers who came to reinforce the Nine Mystical Tower, blocking the reinforcements outside the Nine Mystical Tower.
Mara's large-scale attack on the Nine Mystical Tower signified that Mara's calamity had begun again and had reached its climax. Fending off Mara's calamity was a righteous cause for the cultivation world. That was why the entire cultivation world responded to the request to reinforce the Nine Mystical Tower.
Of course, the various factions that had rushed over to reinforce the Nine Profound Tower naturally had their own selfish motives. They naturally wouldn't do something that would cause them to lose eight hundred men in order to save the Nine Profound Tower. After all, the Nine Profound Tower wasn't their biological father. There was no need for them to risk their lives like that.
What's more, while the other four Holy Lands of the Central Region were calling for the entire cultivation world of the Central Region to rescue the Nine Profound Tower, the Lingyun Valley and the Skyward Pavilion were confronting the Demon Clan of the Endless Mountain because of the Magic Cloud City. The Wuxing School was focusing on the chaotic situation in the northern cultivation world and the two large sects on the eastern coast. At the same time, they were also vigilant of the Crystal Palace's infiltration from the East Sea to the Central Region. As for the Purple Sun Palace, it seemed that the situation was not very good. The situation in the Western Wilderness had changed because of the rise of the Pegasus Clan, and the sphere of influence of the Purple Sun Palace seemed to be affected.
Although the other four Holy Lands had also sent reinforcements to the Nine Mystical Tower, they were all preoccupied with other matters. Thus, the amount of reinforcements they could send was not that great. Thus, the Nine Mystical Tower was constantly besieged by Mara's army.
Even the other four Holy Lands were incapable of sending reinforcements to the Nine Mystical Tower. Naturally, even though the other sects and sects had sent reinforcements, they would not go all out to fight Mara.
