There were usually only two situations in which a water vein fluctuated violently. One was when the river changed its course, and the other was when the river burst its banks and flooded. Usually, only these two situations would cause the water vein of a river to fluctuate violently.
However, there were many people with remarkable abilities in the world of cultivation. There were naturally many methods to cause a water vein to fluctuate so violently. However, there were only these two methods that could be used to achieve such a result.
However, this situation was usually when the cultivator was unable to find the water vein. If they could find the water vein of the Qingming River, and if there were a few cultivators with remarkable abilities, they would not need to change the course of the Qingming River and burst its banks to achieve the same goal.
Of course, it was not an easy task to shake the water vein of a large river like the Qingming River. For someone like Lu Ping, it was not easy to even find the water vein of the Qingming River, much less shake the water vein of the largest river in the Central Plains.
There were only two great sects that could make the water vein of the Qingming River work without damaging its foundation. One was the Nine Profound Tower, which was located in the middle of the Qingming River, and the other was the Skyward Pavilion, which was near the mouth of the Qingming River.
If Lu Ping had not challenged many Mara with his own strength and caused a violent tremor in the Qingming River when he attacked with his full strength, allowing him to luckily capture a trace of the ripples in the Qingming River and enter the water vein, it would have been difficult for Lu Ping to enter the water vein after exiting the water vein, even with Lu Ping's level of cultivation.
This was also why Lu Ping did his best to cultivate after entering the water vein. Even when he sensed Samling and the others leaving, he did not stop them. He did not want to destroy the hard-won opportunity to enter the water vein. Of course, Samling's strength was also an important reason why Lu Ping had the confidence to let them travel alone.
In reality, in the ten years since Lu Ping entered the water vein, there had been rhythmic ripples coming from the east side of the water vein. However, these ripples did not affect Lu Ping's normal cultivation. Moreover, Lu Ping also knew that the Nine Profound Tower was currently surrounded by Mara's army thousands of miles to the east of the Qingming River. The Nine Profound Tower was currently in a defensive position, so it was understandable that they would use the power of the Qingming River to strengthen the sect's defensive formation. Moreover, the power of the water vein that the Nine Profound Tower could use was extremely limited, so the ripples were not strong and very orderly. It could be seen that although the Nine Profound Tower had been surrounded by Mara's army for ten years, the entire Nine Profound Tower was still able to deal with the attacks of Mara's army with ease.
However, the ripples in the water vein didn't originate from the Nine Mystical Tower in the east. Instead, it came from the west side of the Qing Ming River. From the looks of it, the water vein wasn't too far away from Lu Ping's seclusion ground. However, Lu Ping didn't intend to investigate.
Lu Ping guessed that there might be some powerful cultivator stirring up the water vein of the Qingming River. He naturally did not want to provoke them, so he did his best to prevent himself from being repelled by the ripples in the water vein.
Another year passed, and the ripples in the water vein became more and more frequent. Moreover, the ripples grew larger and larger, to the point where Lu Ping could not guarantee that he would be able to cultivate. If this continued, not only would he not be able to cultivate, but Lu Ping himself would also be thrown out of the water vein.
Just who would be so bold?
One had to know that although the water vein of the Qingming River was difficult to capture, and even more difficult to enter to cultivate, any cultivator who could enter was undoubtedly a powerful cultivator in the cultivation world.
The water vein of the Qingming River had been stirred like this for more than a year. It was definitely man-made, and in the process, it would definitely affect many powerful cultivators who were hidden in the water vein. This action was undoubtedly making an enemy of these powerful cultivators!
Relying on the wonders of the "North Sea Wave Listening Spell", Lu Ping could still barely maintain his body in the water vein under such violent ripples, but he could no longer enter a meditative state to cultivate.
Under such circumstances, there was no point for Lu Ping to stay in the water vein. However, Lu Ping was not a powerful cultivator who could capture the water vein of the Qingming River at any time and enter it. Lu Ping really did not want to lose this opportunity to enter the water vein. Therefore, Lu Ping was not in a hurry to search for the direction of the ripples. Instead, he had been using the water vein to quietly sneak in the direction of the ripples.
However, just as Lu Ping was sneaking in the direction of the ripples, no one would have thought that someone would be able to hide in the water vein after such a violent ripple.
Therefore, when Lu Ping was about to reach the place where the violent ripples came from, he quickly discovered that this was a trap that had been set long ago, and the person who wanted to ambush him was very likely Lu Ping himself!
At this time, Lu Ping also sensed Samling's aura nearby. It was obvious that the three of them had stayed here for a period of time. Moreover, the aura that was erratic, sometimes condensing and sometimes dissipating made Lu Ping even more certain that Samling had deliberately left it here.
This was a unique warning and rescue method of Green Sea Snakes. Lu Ping had asked Samling about the characteristics of this method in detail. He did not expect that it would come in handy today.
Lu Ping's heart sank. He thought to himself, "I'm afraid that Samling is already dead. The person lying in ambush here has obviously sensed my presence through Samling. The violent ripples in the water vein earlier were probably to lure me here. Once I follow the traces left by Samling and find this place, I will fall into the ambush."
However, they did not expect that Lu Ping had come here by hiding in the water vein. The "North Sea Wave Listening Spell" could actually allow Lu Ping to hide in the water vein even after such a violent disturbance. He had managed to sneak into the ambush that was originally prepared for Lu Ping.
"Could it really be that Lu Tianping himself?"
A cultivator that seemed to be young and didn't seem to be particularly old was hiding beneath the aquatic plants at the bottom of the Azure Netherworld River. When he saw that Lu Tianping still hadn't arrived after such a long time, he couldn't help but feel slightly doubtful.
"It must be him! Don't forget that those three demon cultivators that Senior Brother Qin Wuliang captured earlier were all from the Jade Sea Spirit Serpent Clan. Currently, in the entire cultivation world, other than that Lu Tianping, who else has a Jade Sea Spirit Serpent as a follower? "
A voice came from a large fish that was swimming back and forth in the river. It turned out that it was a cultivator who had actually mastered the ability to transform into a fish.
"It is rumored that Lu Tianping's strength is no weaker than that of a great cultivator. Even the Green Sea Snake was able to accept him as a follower. It might be possible for us to defeat him if we join forces, but I'm afraid it will be beyond our power to trap this person. Don't forget that although only one of the three demon cultivators had just reached the early Dharma stage, it took a lot of effort to capture them. In the end, it was Senior Brother Qin Wuliang who made a move to capture the three of them. Now, with just the few of us?"
The cultivator who was hidden under the water reeds asked again, obviously not optimistic about the outcome.
"It's not just a lot of effort. It's funny that Yang Wuji is at the peak of the early Dharma stage and is ranked eleventh among the true disciples of our sect. He vowed that he would capture those three Green Sea Snakes, but he didn't expect to be defeated by the three Green Sea Snakes. Moreover, two of the three Green Sea Snakes are only at the peak of the Core Forging stage, and the one at the Dharma stage has only just advanced. This Yang Wuji has almost lost all the face of our sect."
Another voice joined the discussion. It was obvious that this person rarely spoke, but the blatant sarcasm in his words seemed to indicate that the person who spoke seemed to be on bad terms with the practitioner at the peak of the early Dharma stage, Yang Wuji.
However, the fact that this person had taken the initiative to join the discussion made everyone's interest rise a little. However, this person fell silent again, and other than mocking Yang Wuji, he did not speak again.
"Don't worry, this time it's Sister Shui Zhirou who is personally involved. She is one of the Five Great Juzi of our sect, and with the help of all of us, how can we not be able to capture Lu Tianping? Not to mention, as long as we can trap him right away, the other cultivators from our sect will immediately rush over. That includes Senior Brother Qin Wuliang and the others. It is said that Senior Brother Mu Changsheng is already on his way over. Even our sect's second-generation cultivators, the great uncle-masters, are already prepared to take action. "
It turned out that it was the practitioners of Wuxing School, and Samling had obviously fallen into the hands of Wuxing School at this time!
Lu Ping was secretly shocked, but he could not help but wonder, "Why is Wuxing School stirring up the water of the Qing Ming River here? The water of the Qing Ming River has only become extremely violent recently, but this kind of fluctuation has already lasted for nearly a year. This is obviously not a trap that Wuxing School has specially set up for more than a year to set up for Lu Ping. Why has Wuxing School been continuously stirring up the water of the Qing Ming River for more than a year? "
"Sister Shui Zhirou is personally involved?"
The few disciples of Wuxing School who participated in the ambush all seemed to be shocked. However, at this time, Lu Ping did not bother to stay here anymore. Instead, he continued to follow the water upstream and continued to search for Samling's aura, hoping to rescue the three of them first. As for the current scheme of Wuxing School, in Lu Ping's opinion, it was best to hide as far away as possible.
However, this time, Lu Ping had miscalculated. At this time, he was getting closer and closer to the source of the water fluctuation. Previously, the "North Sea Wave Listening Spell" could barely keep him hidden in the water, but now, it could no longer completely hide Lu Ping's aura in the water.
"Who is it?"
A clear and ethereal shout rang in Lu Ping's ears. When Lu Ping looked up, he saw that a female practitioner in white had unknowingly appeared in the Qing Ming River. A pair of beautiful eyes were staring in the direction where Lu Ping was hiding in the water.
Suddenly, a pair of bells appeared in her hands. With a crisp "ding dang dang" sound, Lu Ping's expression changed. He felt that his surroundings had loosened, and his whole body almost sank into the water.
Lu Ping secretly felt that something was wrong. As he staggered, he had already been pushed out of the water by the sound of the bells. Under the influence of the sound of the bells, he could no longer stand in the water.
