Lu Ping finally understood why Qin Shijun, Fan Mingjie, Sang Yu, and the others could not wait to avoid Nangong Xiaojian. This fellow was a despicable person through and through. He had a sharp tongue, but he was strong and knew when to stop. This was also why he was able to come out unscathed after mocking almost all the prominent figures from the various sects.
In the end, as expected, this fellow charged at Lu Ping. "Do you know that you're going to be in big trouble?!"
Lu Ping did not choose to retort in the end as he looked at the serious fellow before him. Instead, he asked quietly, "I'd like to hear the details!"
Nangong Xiaojian's expression immediately brightened. He cleared his throat and said, "The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Don't you understand such a simple principle? Besides, you're showing off a little too much. It's not that we're looking down on our own people, but even that Dongfang Yanhong guy would have to concede defeat if he were here. Ask that guy with the surname Fan behind you. If it was that Yan Nanfei from their clan, would he be able to beat you? "
Yan Nanfei was the first direct disciple of the Purple Sun Palace's third generation cultivators, and Dongfang Yanhong was also the first direct disciple of the Skyward Pavilion. Neither of them had participated in the battle of the Nine Mystical Tower. This was also one of the few reasons that many people could use to question Lu Ping's claim of first place.
Many people knew that with Lu Ping's strength on the Nine Mystical Tower, it was likely that these people would not be Lu Ping's match even if they were here. However, if they didn't come, the Nine Mystical Tower would still be in doubt. Perhaps they were willing to let the Nine Mystical Tower remain in doubt. What kind of joke was this? Letting a country bumpkin from the North Sea snatch first place for no reason? Who knew how many people were prepared to laugh at these direct disciples of the sacred grounds?
This was also the reason why Qin Shijun gave up competing for the List of Military Merit at the last moment of the battle and began to assist other practitioners in competing for the List of Military Merit. As the first heir of the Crystal Palace and the only heir of the six holy lands who participated in the battle of Nine Xuanlou Tower, he didn't want to be pointed at and directly scolded, "Trash! You can't even compare with a bumpkin from the North Sea, let alone the first heir of the Crystal Palace!"
Nangong Xiaojian looked left and right and said, "It's a miracle that you're still alive!"
Even though Lu Ping already knew about Nangong Xiaojian's venomous tongue, he still wished he could stab a hole in his body with his sword.
However, Nangong Xiaojian had already anticipated this. He had already hidden far behind Sima Chongfeng, avoiding Lu Ping's sharp edge.
"Lu Tianping, don't think that I'm being harsh with my words. I don't know how many people in West River Land have designs on you. Hehe, you better be careful. If you're unlucky, even I don't mind stepping on you!"
Nangong Xiaojian's words caused Yin Tianchu and the others behind Lu Ping to have ugly expressions. Yin Tianchu's eyes were overflowing with killing intent and his body was about to turn illusory. Unexpectedly, Lu Ping reached out and easily grabbed his arm, then shook his head at him.
Xie Tianyang couldn't take it anymore and said angrily, "Nangong Xiaojian, are you done yet? If you don't feel satisfied, how about I play with you for a bit?"
Nangong Xiaojian acted as if he hadn't heard Xie Tianyang's words and said, "Sigh, let's go. We already know each other. It's not like he has three heads and six arms. There's nothing to see. Let's go, let's go!"
Nangong Xiaojian turned around and left as if he had been scared off by Xie Tianyang's provocation. However, everyone present was an elite and naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to think that the second heir of the Skyward Pavilion would be scared off by a few words.
Sima Chongfeng, who was two steps behind, smiled bitterly at Lu Ping and said, "Brother Lu, I'm really sorry. Senior Brother Nangong's personality is just like that. I hope Brother Lu won't take it to heart!"
Lu Ping's expression turned serious as he looked at Nangong Xiaojian's receding figure and said, "No matter what, I still have to thank Brother Nangong for the reminder. I will be careful and not give Brother Nangong a chance to step on me!"
In the distance, Nangong Xiaojian's figure paused for a moment before he walked away even faster. A cool breeze blew past, carrying Nangong Xiaojian's curses. He seemed to be regretting his reminder to Lu Ping, causing him to lose a chance to have some fun.
After the people from the Skyward Pavilion left, Qin Shijun quickly left with the cultivators from the Crystal Palace. Xie Tianyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Lu, although Nangong Xiaojian's words are a little harsh, they aren't without reason."
A cold light flashed across Lu Ping's eyes as he nodded and said, "I know. In fact, someone had already tried to plot against me during the last battle against Mara. However, not only did they not gain any advantage, they even suffered a great loss!"
Lu Ping suddenly thought of something and smiled. "Speaking of the Seventh Patriarch's Dao Altar, what do you know about it? Don't tell me that your Purple Sun Palace doesn't know anything about it."
Xie Tianyang said, "It's actually not much of a secret. I'm sure that large sects like Brother Sang have clear records of it, so everyone should know about the same thing."
Sang Yu nodded with a smile. "The Seventh Patriarch's Dao Altar is a Minor Thousand World created by the Seventh Patriarch during the creation of the heavens. In this world, there are seven Dao Platforms made from seven gigantic Divine Chiming Rocks. At the beginning of the heavens' creation, the Seventh Patriarch passed down seven heaven-opening inheritances on each of the seven Dao Platforms. This is the origin of the legendary 49 heaven-opening inheritances in the cultivation world. Legend has it that each of the seven Divine Chiming Rocks on the Dao Platforms contains a heaven-opening inheritance. These 49 Divine Chiming Rocks also contain 49 heaven-opening inheritances."
Lu Ping subconsciously touched the storage magic tool in his hand. The two purple jade slips that recorded the "North Sea Wave Listening Technique" were inside. Back then, the Treasure Cauldron of Heaven and Earth's Water Ape Artifact Spirit once said that Lu Ping cultivated the heaven-opening inheritance. Could it be that the "North Sea Wave Listening Technique" was one of the seven heaven-opening inheritances passed down by Jiao Daoren?
Xie Tianyang continued, "After the Seventh Patriarch disappeared, the Seventh Patriarch's Dao Platform was closed. Only cultivators who had gathered seven bloodlines and cultivated the seven elemental cultivation methods of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and ice, and whose cultivation had reached Pure Yang could reopen the Seventh Patriarch's Dao Platform."
"However, after the Seventh Ancestor disappeared, the Seventh Ancestor's Dao Altar suddenly collapsed. The 49 Sacred Chiming Stones shattered into countless small pieces and scattered across the Lesser Chiliocosm. As a result, the 49 Heaven-opening Legacies were completely scattered along with the scattered stones. If we want to reassemble the 49 Heaven-opening Legacies, it'll only be possible if we can collect all the scattered Sacred Chiming Stones in the Lesser Chiliocosm. However, this is clearly impossible.
Lu Ping frowned and asked, "Why?"
Fan Mingjie explained, "No one knows how many pieces the Divine Stone has shattered into, and each piece contains the will of the Seventh Patriarch. Even if you can find a piece of Divine Stone, if you can't suppress the will of the Seventh Patriarch, I'm afraid that you won't even know which Dao Platform the Divine Stone originally belonged to. Every time the Seven Patriarchs' Dao Altar opens, it only lasts for a year. In such a short period of time, let alone finding a few pieces of rubble, even if you found enough rubble, there wouldn't be enough time to subdue the Seven Patriarchs' will contained within the rubble. "
Lu Ping frowned and said, "Is it possible to bring the Divine Chiming Rocks out of the Minor Thousand World by suppressing the will of the Heaven Opening in the rocks?"
Everyone was stunned. Su Jin shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "No!"
Before Lu Ping could ask for the reason, Su Jin explained, "Suppressing the will of the Heaven Opening in the rocks will at most allow you to know a few words of the inheritance recorded in the rocks. However, suppressing the will of the Heaven Opening doesn't mean that the will of the Heaven Opening will disappear. As long as the will of the Heaven Opening in the rocks doesn't disappear, the rocks can't be taken out of the Minor Thousand World."
Su Jin seemed to have guessed what Lu Ping wanted to do, so he continued to explain, "As long as the will of the Heaven Opening in the rocks exists, it can't be stored in a magic tool."
Hearing this, Lu Ping's eyes lit up and said, "So, someone brought out the Divine Chiming Rocks from the Dao Platform?"
Fan Mingjie nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you refine the will of the Heaven Opening in the rocks, you can take them out of the Dao Platform. However, no one knows how to refine them. Even those cultivators who were lucky enough to bring out the Divine Chiming Rocks were confused. It seemed that refining the will was not due to one's strength, but more like the Divine Chiming Rocks recognized its master."
"Although something like this has happened in the cultivation world before, it has only happened a few times in the past tens of thousands of years. Of course, no one knows if someone has brought out the divine stones but kept it a secret. This is also the reason why it is impossible to gather all 49 types of inheritances from the Heaven Opening Era."
Lu Ping had obtained some information from Lin Yu Laozu about the situation in the Seventh Patriarch's Dao Platform. Fei Tian Laozu's Pure Yang Soul had also left some memories. Combined with what Xie Tianyang and the others had said, Lu Ping had a further understanding of the Seventh Patriarch's Dao Platform.
However, there were still many things that Lu Ping did not understand. Lu Ping was about to ask, but he suddenly saw a dazzling golden light exploding in the sky. One of the golden light was coming in the direction of Lu Ping and the others. When it got close, Lu Ping saw that the golden light was actually emitted from the hands of Jiang Tianlin and Laozu. The golden light was so dazzling that it had even covered the two Laozu's escape light.
Liu Tianyuan asked curiously, "Martial Uncle, Martial Uncle, this is …"
Jiang Tianlin and Laozu waved the token in their hands that was emitting a golden light and said, "This is the proof of entering the Seventh Patriarch's Dao Platform."
As he said this, he nodded to Xie Tianyang and the others and said, "Laozu of your sect has also taken your tokens back. I think you will receive the news soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, two voice transmission talismans fell into the hands of Fan Mingjie and Sang Yu. After reading the contents of the voice transmission talismans, they quickly said goodbye to Zhenling and the others and left.
Jiang Tianlin gave a few golden tokens to Lu Ping and the others. Tian Cheng Laozu also gave a few tokens to Wang Xuanqi and the other Core Forging Stage disciples and said, "Quickly refine them. The entrance of the Seventh Patriarch's Dao Platform and the three secret realms will soon be opened by those Pure Yang Cultivators."
