As the Zhenling cultivators cried out in alarm, the ray of light finally broke through the protective shield of the ship and landed on the deck. A man covered in blood and burns stumbled a few steps, barely managing to steady himself with the help of the ship's railing. Then, he sat down on the deck with his back against the wall.
"It's Tianping Laozu!"
Everyone exclaimed. Obviously, they didn't expect the person in front of them to be the famous Water Sword Deity of their sect!
Jiang Tianlin, Mei Tianqin, and the others had already rushed to the deck when Lu Ping could no longer maintain the ray of light. Seeing Lu Ping in such a state, they all panicked.
Jiang Tianlin walked to Lu Ping in two steps and patted Lu Ping's shoulder. A vast life force was injected into Lu Ping's body along with his inner Yuan. He said in a low voice, "How is it?"
Lu Ping forced a smile and said, "Yan Jiuxiao is dead. Get ready!"
The leader of the Fire Phoenix Clan, Yan Jiuxiao, is dead! Chunyang Laozu is dead!
Before everyone could react to this heavy news, Lu Ping had already returned to the secret room of the ship, surrounded by Jiang Tianlin and the others.
With a boom, the whispers of the Zhenling cultivators on the ship suddenly turned into cheers!
How did Yan Jiuxiao die? Who killed him? Could it be that he died at the hands of Water Sword Deity Lu Tianping Laozu?
Just as everyone in Zhenling was discussing this, a few Zhenling Dharma Deities, Laozu, appeared to quell everyone's speculations and forbid the news from leaking.
At the same time, beams of light rose from the treasured ship one after another. A few Zhen Ling Sect's Dharma adepts led their own Core Forging disciples into Scarlet Mist Island to expand Zhen Ling Sect's territory. At the same time, the news of Yan Jiuxiao's death had also reached Tian Ling Mountain, and Sect Leader Liu Tianling would most likely send reinforcements soon.
In the secret room of the ship, Jiang Tianlin and Mei Tianqin were sitting opposite Lu Ping. Because this matter was of great importance, especially the news of Yan Jiuxiao's death, no one except Zhenling knew about it. It was time to seize the initiative, so Lu Ping didn't go into seclusion to heal his injuries. Instead, he swallowed a few top-grade healing pills and forced himself to discuss with Jiang Tianlin and Mei Tianqin about how to deal with the aftermath.
Lu Ping briefly explained the process of his fight with Yan Jiuxiao, but to the two of them, it was still thrilling. When they heard that Yan Jiuxiao's goal was Luan Daoist's inheritance, they both cried out in shock. When Lu Ping admitted that Yan Jiuxiao had indeed died at his hands, even though the two of them were prepared, they still couldn't suppress the disbelief on their faces.
After a long while, Jiang Tianlin came back to his senses and said, "We've already sent out our disciples. This time, we should be able to take over half of Scarlet Mist Island's territory before the Fire Phoenix Tribe and the other sects of the North Sea can react. Tianling Mountain also has reinforcements, which should be led by Tianshan Junior. This time, our sect has gathered two Great Adepts, five mid Dharma adepts, and several early Dharma adepts on Scarlet Mist Island. This time, our sect has gathered two Great Adepts, five mid Dharma adepts, and several early Dharma adepts. This should be enough to intimidate the sects of the North Sea after the Fire Phoenix Tribe leaves!"
Lu Ping nodded and said, "That should be enough. We still have a ship, but the news of my injuries must be kept a secret. Also, we can forget about taking over the territory on the outskirts of Scarlet Mist Island this time. If the sects of the North Sea unite against us, we can even take a step back, but we must concentrate our forces to take over the central area. The real treasures of Scarlet Mist Island are all in the central area. This time, we'll need Uncle-Master, Tianqin, and Tiancheng to take action personally.
This is the best time to take over the treasures! "Jiang Tianlin pondered for a moment and said," I'll try my best, but the central area is full of dangers and the environment is dangerous. Although Tianqin, Tiancheng, and I can go in and out without any problems, it'll be extremely difficult for the disciples of the sect to guard it! "
Lu Ping coughed twice and forced a smile. "That won't happen. The environment of Scarlet Mist Island is dangerous, but it's formed by the fire veins that cover the entire island. Now that Yan Jiuxiao has sunk a second tribulation spirit treasure into the main fire vein of Scarlet Mist Island, the danger level of the remaining scattered fire veins will naturally be greatly reduced without the support of the main vein. However, the fire attribute cultivation resources in the central area of Scarlet Mist Island will not decrease, especially since many fire veins have been nurtured for thousands of years. There should be a lot of spirit fire and mystical fire seeds inside. This is the best time to seize them!"
Hearing this, Jiang Tianlin immediately relaxed. However, he immediately began to think about the cultivation resources in the central area of Scarlet Mist Island. The fire attribute cultivation world inside Scarlet Mist Island had always been coveted by the various sects, but they couldn't develop it due to the dangerous environment inside. Now that the scattered fire veins on Scarlet Mist Island had been contained, Zhenling naturally had to seize it before the other sects did.
At this time, Mei Tianqin opened her mouth and asked about the Burning Hell Formation, "Martial Nephew Lu, how is the situation inside the Burning Hell Formation? If we can break it, not to mention Yan Jiuxiao's second tribulation spirit treasure, just the main fire vein's value is probably not any less than a giant spirit vein! "
Mei Tianqin's own attainments in fire were quite profound, and she was the current manager of the Pill Pavilion, so she naturally knew the importance of a large fire vein to Zhenling. Not to mention anything else, after Zhenling had drawn the medium fire vein that caused Scarlet Mist Island to rise from the bottom of the sea to Tianling Mountain, it had played an extremely important role in the development of the Pill Pavilion and shortening the time needed to repair the treasured ship.
Lu Ping laughed bitterly and said, "How could disciple not know? It's just that the formation has already been formed, and Yan Jiuxiao is dead. If I want to break it, I can only enter the formation. Originally, disciple might have been able to break it if I had waited for my injuries to heal before entering the formation. However, after I killed Yan Jiuxiao, the Pure Yang Avatar merged most of its essence into the formation's sea of fire while it was collapsing, causing the Burning Hell Formation to become even more powerful. Now, even if disciple's injuries are completely healed, I won't be able to escape from this formation!"
"Is that so!"
Mei Tianqin was clearly a little disappointed.
Jiang Tianlin smiled at the side and said, "Don't worry, since even Junior Nephew Lu isn't confident that he can freely enter and exit this Burning Hell Formation, others naturally won't be able to take away the treasures in the formation. Moreover, only our sect knows about the large fire vein. If we don't say anything, even if the other sects are suspicious, they will only lose manpower in vain if they enter."
Mei Tianqin also smiled and said, "You are too greedy. In that case, there's no time to lose, let's make our move as soon as possible!" Unexpectedly, just as Mei Tianqin stood up, she heard Lu Ping say, "Don't be anxious, Junior Uncle!" Lu Ping swept his hand across the square table in front of him, and a row of six feathers of different sizes wrapped in a rainbow-colored light appeared on the table.
Mei Tianqin and Jiang Tianlin glanced at each other, knowing that these were the treasures of the Luan Daoist that Lu Ping had obtained from the Heaven's Abode. Yan Jiuxiao died at Lu Ping's hands, so all of his treasures naturally fell into Lu Ping's hands.
Unfortunately, according to Yan Jiuxiao, the Luan Daoist should have left behind seven natal feathers, and the one that Tian Cheng Laozu snatched from a Fire Phoenix Race cultivator was activated by Mei Tianqin. The Fire Phoenix Race had obtained two natal feathers, one of which was in Yan Jiuxiao's possession, while the other was in the hands of the Pure Yang Laozu of the Fire Phoenix Race. Therefore, there were only six natal feathers in Lu Ping's possession.
Lu Ping handed the second feather from the left to Mei Tianqin and said, "Junior Uncle, this is the feather you obtained earlier. The Luan Daoist should have seven natal feathers, and one of them is in the hands of the Pure Yang Laozu of the Eastern Sea Fire Phoenix Race."
Mei Tianqin accepted the feather and said with a smile, "Although this is a Heaven Opening Relic, and the intent contained within it seems to contain an extremely powerful technique, I still have no idea what it is!"
However, Lu Ping smiled and said to Jiang Tianlin, "Senior Uncle, you should choose one as well!"
Jiang Tianlin was a little confused, but he still chose one of the five remaining feathers based on his intuition and said, "Junior Nephew Lu, do you know a thing or two about this?"
Lu Ping nodded and said seriously, "The seven natal feathers left behind by the Luan Daoist not only contain the cultivation methods of seven supreme Divine Abilities, but also the Heaven Opening Relic. These seven feathers can only be sensed and inherited by cultivators with the Luan Bloodline. Senior Uncle Tianqin and Senior Uncle are both cultivators with the Luan Bloodline, so it is possible for you to inherit the Heaven Opening Relic. Unfortunately, our sect only has six of these feathers."
"The Heaven Opening Relic!"
Even Jiang Tianlin was shocked when he heard this news. In the cultivation world, only the six sacred lands, Xiao Baiyu, Lu Ping, and other extremely powerful and lucky cultivators had the complete inheritance of the Heaven Opening Relic. The two of them didn't expect that they would also have the opportunity to inherit the Heaven Opening Relic.
Seeing the excitement on their faces, Lu Ping had to say, "Although there is the inheritance of the Heaven Opening Relic inside, it is not certain that you will be able to obtain it. It is only a possibility! However, Junior Uncle Tianqin has already been recognized by that feather, and that intent will naturally guide you to the cultivation method of the Heaven Opening Relic. Whether Senior Uncle Jiang can obtain it or not will depend on your luck. "
Jiang Tianlin smiled and said, "It is good that there is this opportunity!"
Looking at the remaining four feathers on the table, Jiang Tianlin asked, "What do you plan to do with the remaining four feathers?"
Lu Ping said, "These six feathers not only contain the inheritance of the Luan Daoist's Heaven Opening Relic, but more importantly, there are six Heaven Opening Relic sealed within them. Moreover, the Heaven Opening Relic was personally sealed by the Luan Daoist. Although I cannot inherit this inheritance, I can try to suppress the intent of the Luan Daoist so that I can activate the sealed Heaven Opening Relic at any time."
Hearing this, Jiang Tianlin was shocked at first, but then he became overjoyed. He said, "In this way, our sect can be considered to have a true treasure to stabilize the sect's fate!"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Yes, once the Luan Daoist uses the Heaven Opening Relic, no one in the world can be his match except for the Seventh Patriarch of the Heaven Opening Relic!"
Jiang Tianlin stared at the feather in his hand and said in a deep voice, "This item cannot be used unless the sect is in danger!"
Lu Ping agreed, "With this item, the sect's inheritance will not be destroyed!"
