After hearing Zhenling's intentions, Qing Li Laozu from the Profound Sky Sect naturally would not refuse. Zhenling naturally would not tell them that he had nearly twenty Sound Crushing Stones in his possession. However, when Qing Li Laozu saw the ten Sound Crushing Stones that Tian Cheng Laozu took out, he was shocked. This was because the Profound Sky Sect clearly had more cultivators than Zhenling, but they only had seven or eight Sound Crushing Stones in their possession.
With Lu Ping, this killing machine, Tian Cheng Laozu naturally would not fuss over this matter. He very generously exchanged the ten Sound Crushing Stones with the Profound Sky Sect. However, he made it clear that he would exchange them back after using them. Zhenling still wanted to use them to exchange with other sects.
Trying one's luck with ten Sound Crushing Stones was always better than trying one's luck with eight Sound Crushing Stones. The Profound Sky Sect naturally agreed since they had gotten the benefits for free. Zhenling was also happy to silently make a fortune.
This continued for six or seven days. Tian Cheng Laozu was a bit dispirited when he exchanged for the Sound Crushing Stones from the Profound Sky Sect. When Qing Li Laozu found out that only three of Zhenling's people had sensed one mantra, while the Profound Sky Sect's cultivators had sensed three mantras from the ten Sound Crushing Stones they had left behind, Tian Cheng Laozu was even more dispirited. Qing Li Laozu even comforted him, saying that it was all due to luck.
In reality, the reason why Tian Cheng Laozu was dispirited was because out of the eight Seventh Patriarch mantras that Lu Ping had guided, Tian Cheng Laozu had only sensed three of them. This was the least out of the four people.
However, Zhenling still used these ten Sound Crushing Stones to exchange for six more Sound Crushing Stones from the Heavenly Moon Sect. Five days later, Tian Cheng Laozu excitedly exchanged for these ten Sound Crushing Stones from the Heavenly Moon Sect. He told the Heavenly Moon Sect that they had sensed two mantras from the six Sound Crushing Stones, while the Heavenly Moon Sect had only sensed two mantras from Zhenling's ten Sound Crushing Stones.
However, the truth was that Tian Cheng Laozu had sensed four of the six Sound Crushing Stones from Lu Ping. This was the most out of the four.
However, after hearing that Tian Cheng Laozu had exchanged for six Sound Crushing Stones from the Heavenly Moon Sect, Qing Li Laozu had brought the eight Sound Crushing Stones that he had collected. Inspired by Zhenling, they exchanged with the Heavenly Moon Sect again, hoping that they would be able to encounter a few opportunities.
The continuous storm-like Sound Crushing Stones not only gave everyone an understanding of their cultivation, but after their minds were continuously attacked by the will of the Seventh Patriarch, the cultivation of Tian Cheng Laozu and the other three's Sound Crushing Stones had increased significantly.
Only Lu Ping's Sound Crushing Stones was too strong, so the benefits that the Sound Crushing Stones brought to him were negligible.
After exchanging the Sound Crushing Stones with the Heavenly Xuan Sect and the Heavenly Moon Sect, a month had passed. In the remaining ten days, Zhenling did not try to contact the cultivators of the other sects to exchange Sound Crushing Stones. Instead, he began to make preparations to leave the world of the Dao Altar.
In reality, in these last ten days, the will of the Seventh Patriarch, who was attacking the Sound Crushing Stones in the Dao Altar, seemed to be much stronger than before. Even the people in the Dao Altar could occasionally sense the will of the Seventh Patriarch. Lu Ping alone had sensed four wills, while Tian Cheng Laozu and the other three had also gained something. Although these ten days were used to consolidate their understanding of their cultivation, it was also the last opportunity for them to cultivate.
In reality, other than Yin Tianchu, who had just advanced to the mid Dharma stage, the other four, including Lu Ping, had already reached the limit of their own cultivation. Other than Lu Ping, who had the help of his powerful Divine Will, who could still suppress the aura around him, if the other three were to leave the world of the Dao Altar, they would probably summon the Thunder Trial at the first instance.
The reason why they did not try to exchange for more Sound Crushing Stones in this last period of time was that they had to focus all their attention on suppressing their own aura, hoping that they would not attract the Thunder Trial once they left the world of the Dao Altar.
Although with their current strength, they had a seventy to eighty percent chance of surviving the Thunder Trial even if they did not make any preparations, no one was willing to risk their lives if they made extra preparations to increase their chances of success by ten to twenty percent.
After Lu Ping suppressed and erased the protective will in all the Sound Crushing Stones, he focused all his remaining energy on the broken stone that was a foot square at the base of the Dao Altar.
Although the Sound Crushing Stones did not mean that the larger they were, the richer the contents of the mantra and the stronger the protective will. However, the protective will in this broken stone was beyond Lu Ping's expectations.
Other than the reminder that Lu Ping had given Lu Ping when he entered the world of the Dao Altar, which allowed Lu Ping to confirm that this was the broken stone, Lu Ping had spent three whole days trying to suppress Jiao Daoren's will in this broken stone, but he had not succeeded.
It was not that he could not suppress the protective will in the broken stone, but that Lu Ping could not find the location of Jiao Daoren's protective will in the broken stone at all.
If it was not for the fact that Lu Ping had a mysterious connection with this broken stone, he would have suspected that the mantra that justified his cultivation method really came from this broken stone.
Lu Ping simply stopped using his Quintessential Essence. Instead, he sat cross-legged in front of the broken stone and closed his eyes to rest. Only Lu Ping would be so crazy to use his Quintessential Essence to refine this broken stone for three consecutive days. However, even Lu Ping felt a little tired after using his Quintessential Essence for such a long time.
Even so, Lu Ping kept using his Quintessential Essence to capture the mysterious connection with this broken stone during the process of recovering his Quintessential Essence. As a result, Lu Ping's thoughts became clearer.
"Come out. Why? Do you want me to smash you in a fit of anger?"
Lu Ping actually spoke to the broken stone.
However, this was a stone, after all. How could it communicate with a human?
However, a mischievous smile appeared on Lu Ping's face. His left thumb and index finger suddenly touched the neck of the dragon relief carved on the smooth surface of the broken stone and suddenly squeezed!
The dragon relief sculpture suddenly seemed to come to life. It suddenly struggled on the surface of the broken stone, trying to break free from Lu Ping's grasp. However, Lu Ping seemed to have predicted that it would struggle. His two fingers strangled the relief sculpture's neck and did not loosen his grip at all.
"What's wrong? Are you not going to hide or pretend anymore?"
"Kid, who are you? How did you manage to cultivate the Soaring Dragon Galaxy Technique?"
A flustered and exasperated voice suddenly came out of the dragon relief's mouth. "Hurry up and let me go. If it were not for me, I'm afraid you wouldn't even know the name of your cultivation method."
