Water veins were the condensation of the essence of a river. Naturally formed water veins were usually connected to the mountains and terrains that the river flowed through. This was the creation of heaven and earth. Cultivators could borrow and even control part of it, but it was extremely difficult to cut it off directly.
Although water veins seemed weak and fleeting, it was precisely because of this that they could connect to the mountains and terrains. Therefore, it was extremely difficult to cut off water veins. The bigger the water veins were, the harder it was to cut them off. Just like the Qingming River and the Yulan River, it was basically impossible to cut them off.
However, even if it was possible to cut off water veins, very few people would do it. Cutting off water veins was actually making an enemy of heaven and earth. Not only would the cultivators be attacked by some disasters caused by the water veins being cut off, but it would also cause great damage to the world of cultivation. Therefore, water veins could not be easily touched.
However, there were actually some shortcuts. For example, Wuxing School could secretly draw a branch out of the water vein of the Qingming River. It would not hurt the foundation of the water vein of the Qingming River, but it could also bring great benefits to Wuxing School.
However, it was not easy to separate a branch out of a complete water vein. Even as powerful as Wuxing School was, they had planned for hundreds of years and specifically prepared for dozens of years before they dared to do it secretly.
"That's easy!"
After merging with the other half of the Water Transformation Talisman and going through the third Thunder Calamity, the mantis obviously became more intelligent. It answered without thinking, "The reason why Wuxing School wanted to secretly cut off a section of water vein and bring it back to Wuxing School was that they had the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, which could control the spirit veins in the world. They could totally keep the cut off water vein in the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth and bring it back. We can do it too!"
Lu Ping suddenly understood and said, "You mean Linglong. Can she do it? She is just a first-tribulation spiritual treasure. How can she compare with the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth? "
This time, Linglong made a mistake but gained great benefits. At this time, she was already eager to make a contribution. Hearing what Lu Ping said, she quickly said, "I can do it!"
Mantis nodded and echoed, "Linglong can indeed do it, but Linglong is not like the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth. She can only keep the water vein for a very short time. Now I don't need to think about cutting off that water vein. This branch of the Qingming River is ready-made, and I can be considered as the fisherman who benefits from it."
The praying mantis grinned cheekily and said, "Boss, I am your spiritual treasure. Isn't looking for me the same as looking for you? But it will be difficult to find us at this time!"
Lu Ping was slightly delighted and said, "Oh, is there a good way to avoid them?"
At this time, Lu Ping did not need to think to know that many people were rushing to the place where Halving Mantis had gone through the Heavenly Tribulation, especially Wuxing School. Their plan of hundreds of years had been ruined by him, so they must be gnashing their teeth in hatred.
At this time, Lu Ping had already followed the Green Jade Canal to the south. However, Lu Ping had already caught up to the retreating branch of the Green Netherworld River. With the help of Linglong's power, he entered it and followed the retreating branch towards the Green Netherworld River. However, Lu Ping also knew that this was very risky. It was very likely that he would be discovered and suspected by others.
The praying mantis's two forelimbs moved back and forth, and with a clang sound, he said, "Boss, don't forget what we have!"
What was the praying mantis's background? It was the Water Transformation Talisman. With this treasure in hand, would he still worry about being discovered? Then the person who was searching for Lu Ping would be like the Seventh Patriarch of Sky Splitter.
Not far from the foot of Luo Xin Mountain, Earth Spirit was hovering above the water where the Thunder Calamity had come previously with his hands behind his back. At this time, Lu Ping had already left after the Thunder Calamity.
There had been no news of Patriarch Golden Cicada until now, so it was obvious that he was already dead. The Broken Spiritual Treasure was nowhere to be seen, but he had seen the nine Thunder Tribulations. The Broken Spiritual Treasure was probably a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure by now.
Speaking of Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure, Earth Spirit unconsciously touched his sleeves and sighed. If the Treasure Cauldron of Heaven and Earth was an ordinary Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure, this battle of Luo Xin Mountain might have a higher chance of winning. However, if that was the case, it would not be easy to pull the two large river veins that were drawn out. This was something that could not be helped.
Earth Spirit opened his eyes slightly and looked to his side. He opened his mouth and asked, "Didn't find it?"
As he spoke, Water Spirit appeared like a cloud of mist. He nodded with a bitter smile and said, "The one who dares to disturb at this time is probably a Pure Yang Cultivator who has been hiding. Otherwise, he would not be able to stay in the water vein when the Water Ape Weapon Spirit mobilized the water vein."
Earth Spirit said, "If the other party has a Spiritual Treasure that can control the spiritual vein like the Treasure Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, and the person is extremely proficient in water attribute techniques, it is not impossible for him to stay in the water vein under the control of the Water Ape Weapon Spirit. He does not have to be a Pure Yang Cultivator."
Water Spirit said, "What about Golden Cicada? Although he majored in formations, his strength is not too weak. Even an ordinary Grand Cultivator would not be able to kill him easily. How could it be possible if he is not a Pure Yang Cultivator?"
Earth Spirit did not dwell on this question. Instead, he asked, "The Spiritual Treasure in Two Parts was originally the Spiritual Treasure of the Water Broken Lineage. You should be the most familiar with this Spiritual Treasure. Do you think it has survived the Pure Yang Lightning Tribulation this time?"
Shui Lingzi didn't even need to think about it before replying, "Of course it has. The two halves of this Spirit Treasure were originally half a Water Divine Talisman, and after cutting off the water vein, it absorbed the other half of the Water Divine Talisman. Whether it is quality or other aspects, it has already reached the threshold of a Pure Yang Spirit Treasure. More importantly, it is a Water Divine Talisman personally crafted by Daoist Chan. Becoming a Pure Yang Spirit Treasure may be difficult for other Spirit Treasures, but it is not a problem for it."
Earth Spirit nodded and said, "Ah, the Water Transformation Divine Talisman. I'm afraid that this person has used this item to escape from all the searches. If he used the Water Transformation Divine Talisman to escape, I'm afraid that even we would not be able to find him. I'm afraid that only Daoist Chan would be able to do it."
Water Spirit did not continue Earth Spirit's words. Instead, he asked, "What should we do after returning to the sect? Not only did we mess things up, the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth has lost one of its five Pure Yang Weapon Spirits. The Cauldron of Heaven and Earth's magic will definitely be greatly reduced. Will Laozu …"
Earth Spirit glanced at her and said, "If Laozu blames us, the Old Man will take responsibility for this matter. However, the Old Man is curious about how that person killed the Water Ape Weapon Spirit, who has an immortal body. Can the Spiritual Treasure in Two Parts do it?"
Water Spirit was stunned for a moment and said, "The Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure in Two Parts might be able to do it."
Earth Spirit uttered an "oh" and muttered to himself, "Then what method did this person use to kill the Water Ape Artifact Spirit?"
Right at this moment, a loud roar came along the Green Jade Canal from afar. The water of the Green Jade Canal, which had already been connected to the canal, suddenly became turbulent. The speed of the water flow suddenly increased, and the sound of the flowing water even created white waves.
Although the two branches of the Yulan River and the Green Netherworld River had already shrunk, the Green Jade Canal was still open. It could be considered as a convenience for people to travel between the north and the south.
Water Spirit was shocked and said, "This, this is the branch of the Green Netherworld River. Someone is cutting off this branch!"
Compared to Water Spirit's excitement, Earth Spirit was much calmer, as if he had already guessed that this would happen. He said, "With the Water Transformation Divine Talisman and the Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure in Two Parts, the Old Man would not let go of this branch of the water vein. However, now the Old Man has somewhat understood how the Water Ape Weapon Spirit was able to shake the water vein and still be able to hide in the water vein."
Water Spirit immediately reacted and said, "Senior Brother, are you talking about the imitation of the Wine Cauldron of the Universe?"
Earth Spirit nodded. Water Spirit asked again, "Then, what should we do? Should we go after him now?"
Earth Spirit shook his head and said, "It's too late. With the protection of the Water Transformation Divine Talisman, there is no need to be afraid of being discovered. Our school's hundreds of years of planning has finally become someone else's wedding dress. Our school has also paid such a heavy price for this. I really can't accept this. I only hope that someone will be able to find out his identity. Our Wuxing School will definitely not let this person off!"
Earth Spirit turned around and disappeared, but his voice still lingered, "Inform all the practitioners of our school to return to the school immediately. Beware of the secret revenge from other sects. Junior Sister Shui, take some people with you and escort the branch of the Yulan River back. The person has already stolen the branch of the Green Netherworld River. The Yulan River branch must not have any more problems!"
A few days later, above the Green Jade Canal, Lu Ping was comfortably lying on the back of the Black Tortoise. A huge praying mantis was running back and forth on the back of the Black Tortoise. It seemed to be extremely curious.
Lu Ping had really returned to the Green Netherworld River before heading north along the canal. He was not afraid of being suspected by others. On the contrary, those who dared to go north along the canal at this time just proved that they had nothing to do with the battle at Luo Xin Mountain.
What's more, Lu Ping's mid Dharma stage cultivation was even more confusing. No one would have thought that the person who had cut off the water vein and killed the Five Elements Sect's Array Grandmaster was a mid Dharma stage cultivator. He had even managed to escape the encirclement of so many cultivators.
Lu Ping's trip was actually for Samling. Samling was still in the hands of the Wuxing School, so Lu Ping had to go and rescue him.
"What a pity. If it wasn't for the fact that Linglong's endurance has reached its limit, we could have completely taken this branch of the water. Looks like we have to let Linglong go through the second Thunder Trial as soon as possible."
The praying mantis ran up and down, his mouth chattering non-stop, "Even if we summon the second Thunder Trial now, it's too late. The remaining half of the branch has already retracted back into the main branch of the Green Netherworld River. It'll be difficult to pull it back again. But even this half of the branch is enough for you, Boss, to use for your training. This is for you to enjoy alone. Your level of training will skyrocket in a short period of time."
