Lu Ping was shocked as he watched the water ape in front of him retreat. At the same time, he was secretly on his guard, ready to strike at any time.
"That's strange. A little mid Dharma adept can actually stay in the water for such a long time. Even such violent waves did not throw you out. Interesting, interesting!"
Other than the head of an ape, this water ape was no different from a human. It was also dressed in human clothes, and it looked like a monkey. But this water ape had a very unexpected aura that made Lu Ping feel wary.
His Divine Will moved forward in a roundabout way, but Lu Ping was still unable to sense the water ape's background. He had no idea what its level of training and ability was.
The water ape seemed to sense something and blew a breath of air to its side. Not far away, Lu Ping's face paled, and he could not help but take a step back. He heard the water ape say, "Not bad, your Divine Will is almost on par with the Pure Yang Laozu. No wonder you were able to find the water when you were only at the mid Dharma stage. But just this alone is far from enough to stay in the water under such violent waves. Let me guess what method you used!"
As it said this, the water ape's eyes flashed red. Lu Ping's heart sank, and he activated the North Sea Wave-listening technique in an attempt to suppress something, but it was too late. Just as the water ape's eyes looked at Lu Ping, the Linglong wine tripod that was hidden in the core space suddenly seemed to lose control of Lu Ping, and it suddenly rushed out of the core space.
It happened so suddenly that Lu Ping didn't have time to suppress it. But the moment the Ling Long Wine Cauldron broke out of the core space, Lu Ping waved his hand and a water rope condensed in mid-air. The water rope instantly wrapped around the wine cauldron's leg. At the same time, Lu Ping's divine sense penetrated the water rope into the wine cauldron, breaking through a layer of obstruction and establishing a connection with the wine cauldron's artifact spirit.
Linglong had only been controlled by the water ape because of her natural weakness. If not for Lu Ping's timely discovery, and the fact that the Linglong wine tripod was something that Lu Ping had refined, the tripod that was about to fall into the water ape's hands would have been snatched back by Lu Ping at the last moment.
"Like I said!"
The water ape looked at Lu Ping curiously, as if it was a little surprised that Lu Ping had been able to stop the Linglong wine tripod in front of it, but it still continued to say, "Many late Dharma adepts have been thrown out by us, and you are just a mid Dharma adept, Minor Repairs. What makes you think that you are able to stay in this water vein? So it is because of this imitation, but in front of us, the Elder Ape, this kind of trash is just trash!"
Lu Ping did not know the identity of the person in front of him, but he heard it call him "the Elder Ape", which was exactly the same tone that Yuan Long had used in the past. So he said, "Senior, are you a great adept of the Great Spiritual Ape clan? Do you know of Yuan Long?"
According to Yuan Long, he was one of the best of the third generation of the Great Spiritual Ape clan, and his name was even mentioned in front of the great adepts of the clan. If that was the case, perhaps they could avoid conflict.
After all, the water ape in front of him was really strange, and Lu Ping could not figure out how strong it was. Even though Lu Ping still felt that there was something very strange about the water ape, and from its tone, it seemed that it was the one who had thrown all the great adepts out of the water vein earlier. This feeling of not being able to figure out the other party's strength was something that Lu Ping had only experienced with Xiao Baiyu back then.
"Huh?"
The water ape looked at Lu Ping in amusement and said, "Are you trying to make friends? What Yuan Long? I've never heard of him before, but the Great Spiritual Ape seems to have some relationship with us, the Elder Ape. But when they see us, the Elder Ape, we have to address them as the Laozu Clan!"
Lu Ping secretly cursed at Yuan Long for bragging to him all the time, saying that there was no one in the entire Great Spiritual Ape clan who did not know him, but this person before him was snorting disdainfully at him!
However, when Lu Ping thought about it, he realized that the monkey before him had clearly acknowledged his identity as the Great Ape Wisdom. But he also seemed to be very unfamiliar with the Great Ape Wisdom. Could it be similar to the Wood Luan Clan in the Nine Mystical Tower's Longevity Heaven's Grotto-Heaven?
Just as Lu Ping was about to ask more questions, he suddenly saw the water ape before him open its mouth and smile sinisterly. Lu Ping had a bad feeling, and he immediately sensed that the water vein around him had begun to change in an instant. It was as if the entire water vein had suddenly fallen under someone's control, and Lu Ping's body began to be compressed and imprisoned by the water vein.
Lu Ping was proficient in the North Sea Wave Listening Technique, and his water attribute magic powers were unparalleled. Even though his cultivation was limited, he was not completely powerless against this unknown water ape before him.
The Water Manipulation Technique concealed his Water Transformation Technique. While Lu Ping was doing his best to weaken the water vein's rejection, he was also doing his best to seize control of the surrounding water vein in order to break free from it.
A slight look of shock appeared on the water ape's face. Next, the space that Lu Ping had been confined to within a very narrow space suddenly began to expand due to the change in control of the water vein. After obtaining a larger space to move around, Lu Ping quickly began preparing other methods to counter attack.
The water ape snickered and the surrounding water vein began breaking in a very peculiar and abrupt manner. The water vein moved along Lu Ping's body, causing Lu Ping to fall out from the water vein.
Truth be told, for a moment, Lu Ping felt that the outcome was quite good. In the face of an opponent that he could not figure out, the most sensible move would be to retreat from the water vein. Doing so would allow Lu Ping to escape unscathed.
However, perhaps because he was unwilling to admit defeat, or for some other unknown reason, Lu Ping unexpectedly began to use his magic powers to resist the water ape's control of the nearby water vein's rejection.
Taking advantage of the moment when the compressed space slightly expanded, Lu Ping once again summoned the Linglong Wine Cauldron. Borrowing the power of the wine cauldron, Lu Ping's control over the surrounding water vein was once again strengthened. However, in the face of the water ape's control over the entire branch of the Qing Ming River, Lu Ping was still at an absolute disadvantage.
At this time, Lu Ping finally came to his senses. The water ape in front of him was controlling the entire branch of the water vein and had not used its full strength against him. In its eyes, Lu Ping was only a side effect. Even though Lu Ping was an ant in the water ape's eyes, his strength had exceeded its expectations, but he was only able to struggle at death's door for a few more moments.
Although Lu Ping knew that the water ape did not place him in its eyes, this was the moment of its final struggle. Right now, the water ape was clearly focusing all of its attention on controlling the entire branch of the water vein. It did not even have the time to pay attention to Lu Ping, who was right in front of it.
If Lu Ping did not take advantage of this opportunity to escape, once the water ape was free, Lu Ping did not believe that he would have a path of survival.
Five thousand li away from the Nine Profound Tower, on the shore of the Green Netherworld River, along with the trembling of the earth veins, a huge fissure appeared on the ground, starting from the far north of the shore and finally connecting with the shore. The water of the Green Netherworld River was immediately diverted, and the surging river water flowed along the fissure towards the north.
At this moment, the Qing Ming River was formed!
However, in order for this moment to be formed, Wuxing School had secretly prepared for more than ten years. Surveying the earth vein, connecting the earth vein, and setting up a great guiding formation. Just these preparations alone had consumed a large amount of Wuxing School's training resources.
The surging waters of the Dark Green River flowed northwards through a channel that had been created through the use of a formation to connect with the ley lines of the earth. This channel also flowed northwards, and the Yulan River, which passed through the Five Elements School, also had a new channel. This channel flowed directly towards the dojo of the Broken Water School.
The Yulan River branched off and flowed along the channel, also flowing south. The two ends of the canal were connected to the two largest rivers in the central plains, and they flowed into the canal at the same time, converging towards the center.
These two streams of water were obviously enhanced by secret techniques. They flowed at an extremely fast speed, not any slower than the flying speed of an ordinary Dharma adept. Based on this speed, it would only take two or three days for the two streams of water to converge in the middle of the canal, which was originally tens of thousands of miles apart.
At the two ends of the canal, when the two rivers began to flow into each other, a large amount of muddy water flowed into the canal. After the two opposing streams of water flowed along the canal for a day and a night, the water at the very front, when it flowed over the channel formed by the collapse of the ground, directly suppressed the muddy water that had been stirred up by the Qing Ming River.
If one were to look down from the sky, one would be able to see two huge streams of water. One green stream flowed south from the north, while the other green stream flowed up from the south. However, since ancient times, the Qing Ming River and the Yulan River had never been compatible.
The Yulan River's water had been activated, and a branch of the Qing Ming River flowed south along the canal, following the green stream of water. The Qing Ming River's water had also been activated by the Wuxing School, following the green stream of water as it flowed south. It was like two ferocious beasts that had sworn to fight to the death. Although they could not see each other, they seemed to have long known that they would eventually meet, and the moment they met, there was bound to be a great upheaval.
Yuan Pokong rubbed his palms together and said, "How about we cut off this stream of water from the Qing Ming River now?"
Yuwen Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "It's useless. The Wuxing School has been planning this for a long time. When they opened up this canal, they also connected the ley lines on which the canal is located. The moment the canal was formed, the branch of water from the Qing Ming River began to connect with the ley lines along the canal. If you cut off the stream of water, it would be the same as cutting off the ley lines."
Yuan Pokong cursed. There was no need to talk about the fusion of the water veins. Just the Earth Veins that the Five Elements Sect had spent over ten years to open up had already formed a whole. It would not be easy for Yuan Pokong to break it open. Now that the water veins were connected to the Earth Veins, it would be even more difficult for him to break it open.
But even if Yuan Pokong could break it, he would not dare to do it. The Wuxing School had been plotting against the Qing Ming River for hundreds of years, so naturally they would not leave a canal that could be destroyed so easily. The ley lines of the canal were connected with all kinds of ley lines of different sizes along the way, and the ley lines strengthened this close connection. At the same time, the canal was also closely connected with the two great rivers. In other words, when the Wuxing School built the Qing Ming Canal, they also kidnapped all the ley lines along the way. Even if someone was powerful enough to destroy the Qing Ming Canal, he or she would have to face an earth-shattering catastrophe.
