Just as Yan Jiuxiao and the Flame Spirit Coffin entered the space beneath the lava lake and were excited to see the treasures left behind by the Luan Daoist, a loud noise suddenly came from above their heads, and the entire space began to tremble.
"Grandfather!" The Flame Spirit Coffin's expression changed, and he said anxiously.
"What are you panicking about!" Yan Jiuxiao seemed to be reprimanding Lu Tianping, but his expression was also solemn as he said, "How bold of him. He still wants to chase after us at this time. I wonder if it's Lu Tianping himself or someone else he brought with him!"
"Him? How can it be? The lava lake is connected to the entire Scarlet Mist Island's fire vein. Even grandfather had to go through a lot of trouble to enter. This person is just a great practitioner, and he practices water-based techniques that are restrained by the Scarlet Mist Island. How can he pass through the lava lake? "
A look of suspicion flashed across Yan Jiuxiao's face, but he still said, "A mere great practitioner? This person fought with the Old Man before and retreated easily. This great practitioner is someone that even the Old Man can't do anything to. How dare you look at him like a normal late Dharma adept! "
"However, this person was able to withstand the burning of the fire vein and pass through the lava lake. He must have some extraordinary treasures on him. This space will soon be discovered by him, so prepare for battle!"
The Flame Spirit Coffin glanced towards the distance with a greedy expression, and then it said, "Grandfather, Lu Tianping has entered the abode and appeared somewhere. In any case, we're going to fight him, so why don't we take those treasures first!?"
Yan Jiuxiao snorted coldly, seemingly dissatisfied with the Flame Spirit Coffin's question. He said, "My grandson is so blind. How can you not see that these things are all sealed by restrictive spells? Since this is the Luan Daoist's inheritance, then these restrictive spells must have been set by the Luan Daoist himself. Although I am a pure Yang body, it is extremely difficult to break the restrictive spells set by the Seventh Patriarch of Heaven Splitting. However, if I force it, I'm afraid that the treasures inside will be damaged. It's better to deal with the Water Sword Immortal first, and then we can break the restrictive spells!"
The Flame Spirit Coffin's expression was ferocious as he said, "Grandfather, this time, we must make sure that Lu Tianping doesn't return. Otherwise, if we wait for the news of the Luan Daoist's inheritance to leak, we will be in big trouble!"
"Hmph!" Yan Jiuxiao snorted coldly, and his expression immediately darkened.
Yan Jiuxiao's guess was somewhat reliable. Although Lu Ping's level of cultivation far surpassed that of other practitioners of the same level, the skills that he practiced were greatly restricted in this place, so it would not be easy for him to pass through the lava lake. However, at this time, the Qing Ming River in Lu Ping's hand had not been completely used up in his cultivation.
Although this lava lake was where the fire vein of the entire Scarlet Mist Island converged, Lu Ping did not intend to use the Qing Ming River to fight against the entire fire vein. He only wanted to temporarily open up a path through the lava lake.
Although Lu Ping's level of cultivation had reached the threshold of the late Dharma stage so quickly because he had borrowed the power of the Qing Ming River's water vein, he had only used up a little more than a third of it.
After advancing to the late Dharma stage, Lu Ping had secluded himself in Fei Ling Island for close to three years. Although he had also refined the water vein to cultivate, with the help of the spirit vein of Fei Ling Mountain, the consumption of the water vein had been greatly reduced. Now, there was still a third of the water vein left. It was precisely because of the help of the water vein that Lu Ping temporarily had the ability to pass through the lava lake's water vein.
When Lu Ping jumped from the whirlpool of the lava lake into the rainbow light that had revealed itself, the swirling lava on both sides had already begun to recede. The rainbow light was obviously a space matrix that could be used to block the erosion of the lava.
Just as Lu Ping freed one hand to take out a rainbow light, he saw that the Luan Daoist handkerchief that was wrapped in a feather in his other hand suddenly emitted a rainbow light as well. This rainbow light was exactly the same as the light emitted by the space matrix in front of him, and they even seemed to be resonating with each other.
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat, thinking that it was the feather that had such a miraculous effect. Unexpectedly, when he opened the handkerchief, he saw that not only was the Luan Daoist feather shining, but even the handkerchief was also shining brightly. There were two crystal clear water droplets in the handkerchief that looked like they were about to fall out of the handkerchief.
Lu Ping knew that these two crystal clear water droplets that had soaked into the handkerchief were Luan Daoist's tears. Originally, there had been three teardrops in the handkerchief, but one of them had been used by Lu Qin-er.
In addition to these two teardrops, the phoenix embroidered in the bottom right corner of the handkerchief was also shining with a rainbow light. It was so vivid that it looked like it was about to fly out of the handkerchief.
At this time, Lu Ping had already rushed into the rainbow light, and he felt a strong resistance from the space. Lu Ping thought for a moment, then put away the Rainbow Restriction Breaking Talisman that he had just taken out, and immediately slashed the feather in front of him!
The rainbow light that had originally covered Lu Ping's eyes was suddenly like a curtain that had been cut apart by the feather, revealing the true face behind the rainbow light.
Lu Ping stepped into it, and the two sword lights flew into it before the rainbow light closed up behind him. Then the magma lake instantly closed up, and the falling magma made a loud roar, stirring up lava waves that were dozens of feet high on the surface of the lake. Even after Lu Ping stepped into the rainbow light, the space behind him also made a loud roar.
It was a grotto-heaven that wasn't too vast!
Lu Ping's Divine Sense instantly swept out, and it almost filled half of the grotto-heaven.
Yan Jiuxiao was indeed inside, and the person beside him was also very familiar to Lu Ping. It was the Flame Spirit Coffin that had once joined forces to resist Mara's army on the East Sea's Illusory Spirit Island!
However, the moment Lu Ping discovered the grandfather and grandson duo, they suddenly left the range of Lu Ping's Divine Sense. They didn't hide, and in an instant, they had already left the range of Lu Ping's Divine Sense. Obviously, when Lu Ping discovered them, Yan Jiuxiao had also discovered Lu Ping's location!
Although Lu Ping was conceited, he wasn't so arrogant as to think that he could make a Pure Yang cultivator flee at the mere sight of him.
Lu Ping was stunned, and only then did he remember this grotto-heaven, and his heart immediately burned with passion. Yan Jiuxiao's grandfather valued this grotto-heaven so much, and when he thought of all his previous guesses, could it be that this grotto-heaven was really related to the Luan Daoist? Or could it be that it was one of the Luan Daoist's treasures?
When he thought of the Luan Daoist's treasures, even a figure like Lu Ping found it hard to maintain his composure for a moment. However, he quickly dispelled the distracting thoughts in his heart. He knew that this grotto-heaven was still filled with danger. The method that Yan Jiuxiao had used to escape Lu Ping's Divine Sense just now had greatly terrified Lu Ping. If he used it to launch a sneak attack, Lu Ping wasn't confident that he could withstand it.
At the same time, on the other side of the grotto-heaven, the Flame Spirit Coffin was flying away after his grandfather. Looking at his grandfather's gloomy face, the Flame Spirit Coffin couldn't help but ask, "Grandfather, didn't we want to fight with Lu Tianping just now and deal with him first? Why did we …"
Yan Jiuxiao's face darkened, and an imperceptible blush flashed across his face. He said angrily, "What do you know? This Lu Tianping hid his strength so well that even the Old Man was almost fooled by him. This person didn't conceal his Divine Sense just now, so you should have sensed it as well. That level of Divine Sense could instantly sweep a radius of over a hundred miles. This is not the level of Divine Sense that a late Dharma adept should have. Even the Old Man is far inferior to him!"
"What? That's impossible! "
The Flame Spirit Coffin exclaimed. "Grandfather, are you saying that this Lu Tianping has been hiding his level of cultivation all this time and that he is now a Pure Yang adept?"
Yan Jiuxiao seemed to be a little hesitant, but he still said, "Not only his level of cultivation, but also the strong aura that was displayed when his Divine Sense came into contact with the Old Man just now. That strong Pure Yang aura is not something that an ordinary Great Adept can condense. It is almost comparable to an existence of a Pure Yang adept. Even when Xiao Baiyu advanced to the late Dharma stage, the Pure Yang aura on his body was not as strong as this person's!"
At the mention of Xiao Baiyu, even the Flame Spirit Coffin's eyes flashed with fear. That was an existence that could kill a Pure Yang adept at the late Dharma stage. Could it be that Lu Tianping was even stronger than Xiao Baiyu? No wonder Grandfather had fled, yes, avoided the battle.
At this time, Yan Jiuxiao slowed down his escape technique and said, "Strange, why hasn't that Lu Tianping caught up with us? Although the space in this cave is unusually sturdy, it is also extremely narrow. If that Lu Tianping has made up his mind to make things difficult for the Old Man, it will not be easy for us to avoid him!"
The Flame Spirit Coffin said softly, "Could it be that Lu Tianping has entered this place because he has been attracted by the hidden treasures of the Luan Daoist and wants to snatch as many treasures as possible before we do?"
Yan Jiuxiao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That should be the case!"
Then, he chuckled coldly and said, "In the end, he was born in the barren lands of the North Sea. When he sees treasures, he doesn't care about anything else. We should also speed up and take control of as many treasures as possible before he does. Then, we will settle the score with him in the end!"
The Flame Spirit Coffin sneered and said, "I'm just afraid that he will run away when the time comes!"
Yan Jiuxiao laughed but didn't say anything. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart other than himself.
However, the Flame Spirit Coffin's eyes quickly lit up. He pointed at a seven-colored ray of light that was over three hundred meters away and said, "Grandfather, look over there!"
A seven-colored talisman had already appeared in Yan Jiuxiao's palm. His eyes shone with excitement. The seven-colored talisman had already turned into a streak of light and flew into the seven-colored ray of light in front of him.
The Flame Spirit Coffin sighed in admiration and said, "A seven-colored restriction breaking talisman. Grandfather actually has such an item. This time, all of the Luan Daoist's treasures will definitely fall into the hands of our Fire Phoenix Race."
Yan Jiuxiao said proudly, "Fortunately, the Old Man had prepared ahead of time and paid a huge price to exchange for five seven-colored restriction breaking talismans from the Crystal Palace. Otherwise, it would have taken us a lot of effort to break these restrictions this time!"
Although the seven-colored restriction breaking talisman was said to be able to break all restrictions and formations in the world, in reality, it depended on how powerful the restriction formation was. If the restriction formation was too powerful, the seven-colored restriction breaking talisman could only weaken it and not break it on the spot.
What's more, this place was the Luan Daoist's treasures. It was extremely likely that these restrictions were created by the Luan Daoist, so it would be far too easy to break them with a single restriction breaking talisman. Of course, if several restriction breaking talismans were used in combination, it might not be impossible to break them easily. However, Yan Jiuxiao only had a total of five seven-colored restriction breaking talismans on him, and he had only obtained them from the Crystal Palace after going through a lot of trouble. Naturally, he wouldn't use up all of them in one place.
As expected, Yan Jiuxiao had made ample preparations for the Luan Daoist's treasures. After suppressing this restriction with another seven-colored restriction breaking talisman, his hands moved like butterflies, forming seven to eight different types of restriction breaking hand seals in quick succession. One after another, they landed on the restriction, continuously weakening it.
Although the seven-colored light flickered, it wasn't very intense. Through the light, one could still see that there was a flickering feather imprisoned within the restriction.
The Flame Spirit Coffin's eyes lit up, and he said, "This is the Luan Daoist's natal plume feather. It's exactly the same as the two our clan's cultivators obtained on Scarlet Mist Island!"
Yan Jiuxiao nodded and said, "That's right. The Luan Clan can only condense three natal plume feathers at most. Only those who have reached the Ninth Grade Gold Core can carve three supreme divine abilities on top of their three natal plume feathers to form their natal arts. Legend has it that Lord Ancestor was able to condense seven natal plume feathers and control seven supreme divine abilities.
"These seven supreme divine abilities are extraordinary. They are genuine Heaven Splitting Divine Abilities. If we can get our hands on them, not even the Emerald Sea Spirit Serpent Clan will be able to act arrogantly in front of us when Daoist Luan unleashes all seven of them!"
"Now that Scarlet Mist Island has surfaced from the sea, it must be because the restriction on the inheritance has loosened. Before this, three of the plume feathers were actually taken out of the inheritance during the volcanic eruption. Fortunately, Lord Ancestor had already guessed this, so our clan's cultivators never relaxed their investigation of Scarlet Mist Island. That's why we found two of the plume feathers. Unfortunately, that Zhenling actually injured our clan's cultivators and took the third one. There should be four more feathers in the inheritance right now!"
Yan Jiuxiao sneered and said, "So what if Zhenling obtained one of the plume feathers? This plume feather contains the protection of the Luan Daoist's will. If one isn't a direct descendant of the Luan Daoist, one must first obtain the acknowledgement of the will of the Luan Daoist in order to comprehend the heaven splitting divine ability contained within, or directly suppress the will of the Luan Daoist and forcefully activate the heaven splitting divine ability within."
"The former is fine. Human cultivators have impure bloodlines, so it's not impossible for them to obtain the acknowledgement of the will of the Luan Daoist, but it's extremely difficult. As for the latter, hehe, although it's only a fragment of the will of the Luan Daoist sealed inside, I'm afraid only those old monsters in the present world can suppress it. This isn't something those crushed stones in the Dao Altar world can compare to."
Just as Yan Jiuxiao and Yan Jiuxiao were doing their best to break the restrictions of the inheritance, the two treasures in Lu Ping's hands, the rainbow plume feather and the Luan Daoist handkerchief, both flew out from Lu Ping's hands. Under Lu Ping's astonished gaze, the two treasures seemed to sense something and flew in two different directions, trying to escape from Lu Ping's control.
Naturally, Lu Ping wouldn't let these two treasures escape. However, Lu Ping still used his divine sense to control his True Essence to form an imprisonment space in a radius of 100 feet in front of him. Once the two treasures had flown out 100 feet, it was enough for Lu Ping to determine the direction in which they were trying to escape.
The direction in which the rainbow plume flew did not attract Lu Ping's attention. On the contrary, Lu Ping's attention was drawn to the Luan Daoist handkerchief in another direction!
This Luan Daoist handkerchief contained Jiao Daoren's handkerchief. From this handkerchief, Lu Ping had comprehended the Sword of Opening the Heavens: "Fight", "Kill", and "Die". At this moment, this paragraph of Jiao Daoren's handkerchief flashed continuously on the handkerchief.
What surprised Lu Ping even more was that when Jiao Daoren's handkerchief began to flash, Lu Ping seemed to sense a very strong divine sense. This kind of feeling was very familiar to Lu Ping. Therefore, when Lu Ping was still a Core Forging Stage cultivator, he had a similar feeling in the Sacred Fallen Lake at the source of the river in the Western Wilderness. However, this feeling was stronger for Lu Ping now!
In the Sacred Fallen Lake, the mysterious feeling that came from the bloodline of Lu Ping allowed Lu Ping to obtain the horn that Jiao Daoren had left there. At this time, the horn had been carved by Lu Ping's own True Essence into the Sword of the Real Spirit. Now, it had accompanied Lu Ping through the second Thunder Tribulation and became a second-tribulation spiritual treasure.
Now this kind of feeling was even stronger and more direct. Could it be that there was a treasure comparable to Jiao Daoren's horn in this grotto-heaven space?
At this time, Lu Ping couldn't care less about Luan Daoist's relic. For Lu Ping, Jiao Daoren was much more important than Luan Daoist. Moreover, this space was vast. It seemed that Luan Daoist's relic was not only in one place. Since he had to search one place by one, Lu Ping naturally had to find the hidden relic that was related to Jiao Daoren!
At this time, Lu Ping suddenly moved his mind. The Sword of the Real Spirit, Mo Li, suddenly flashed out from behind Lu Ping. Her eyes were a little blurred as she looked into the distance of the grotto-heaven. It was the same direction that the handkerchief wanted to fly to.
After crossing the second Thunder Tribulation with Lu Ping and becoming a second-tribulation spiritual treasure, Mo Li, who originally looked like a 12 or 13-year-old girl, seemed to have grown a lot. She looked about 14 or 15 years old, but her expression had become more and more indifferent.
Lu Ping's heart moved, and he asked, "Mo Li, did you find anything?"
Mo Li nodded and pointed in the direction that the handkerchief was flying in. "There seems to be something that is closely related to me. I want to go there and take a look!"
Lu Ping thought for a moment, and the Quintessential Essence in his body evolved. A stream of water vapor condensed into a rope. One end was tied to a corner of the handkerchief, and the other end was connected to Lu Ping's finger.
Although the water rope was small, it was formed by Lu Ping's Water Control Art. With Lu Ping's current cultivation base, the water rope's tenacity was comparable to that of metal.
Lu Ping held this water rope like he was flying a kite. He let the handkerchief fly into the depths of the grotto-heaven, and Lu Ping chased after the handkerchief.
In one breath, Lu Ping followed the handkerchief for a few dozen miles. In the Central Plains, Lu Ping even came across a place shrouded in colorful light. Although the light shrouded the item inside, even his divine sense couldn't detect it. But this place was obviously a treasure that was imprisoned in a powerful seal. However, Lu Ping only hesitated for a moment before he gave up and left.
