The treasured ship was about to leave the port, and the attendant disciple did not want to stay on the viewing platform any longer. He wanted to cheer with the other disciples around the port.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, the great practitioner Laozu of the East Sea Skyrend next to him called out to him again. Then, with a flip of his palm, a large red gilded invitation appeared in his hand. He said, "Young friend, please pass this invitation to the Water Sword Deity of your sect, His Excellency Lu Tianping."
The attendant disciple took the invitation, a little confused. He scratched his head and said, "Senior, as a junior, I'm afraid this invitation will not reach the hands of Laozu of Tianping."
Liang Jianfei smiled slightly, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He said, "Just hand it over. Other than the Water Sword Deity and the two great practitioners of your sect, no one else can open this invitation!"
The attendant disciple did not know why Liang Jianfei wanted him to pass the invitation to him, but this disciple was not afraid of the tiger. Since Liang Jianfei said that only the three great practitioners of his sect could open it, he tried to open the invitation in his hand. Unexpectedly, after using all his strength, the invitation did not move at all.
The attendant disciple looked at the half-smiling expression beside him and suddenly blushed. He hurriedly bowed to Liang Jianfei and left with the invitation in a hurry.
The attendant disciple handed the invitation to his teacher, a late Core Forging third-generation practitioner. The third-generation practitioner took the invitation, but his face darkened. He hurriedly took his disciple to find Tiantong Laozu, who had returned from Jing Zhe Island and was in charge of receiving the various sects of the East Sea.
Tiantong Laozu was the youngest disciple of Tianxiang Laozu, and also the only disciple who had condensed Dharma Power. Although Tiantong Laozu understood Liang Jianfei's provocation when he received the invitation, he was just an ordinary early Dharma adept. Although he secretly tried to use his inner Yuan to break through the restriction of the invitation, the invitation contained a sharp sword will. Not only did Tiantong Laozu fail to open the invitation, but he was also almost hurt by the sword will.
Tiantong Laozu also did not have the ability to open the invitation, so he had no choice but to find Tianqin Laozu, who was in charge of receiving the invitation.
Liang Jianfei saw the whole process of handing over the invitation, and a smile appeared on his face. He naturally knew the contents of the invitation, but he was still a little unconvinced that Uncle Xiao Baiyu valued Lu Tianping so much that he did not even hesitate to treat him as an equal and let him personally deliver the invitation to Lu Tianping.
With Liang Jianfei's status, it was entirely possible for him to personally meet with Lu Tianping and pass the invitation to him. However, he wanted to show off his power in front of Zhenling, so he used a secret technique to seal the invitation and deliberately let a fourth generation disciple hand it over. He knew that every Zhenling adept who held the invitation in their hands would not be able to resist and try to open the restriction.
In fact, from the attendant disciple to Tiantong Laozu, all of them were helpless in front of this thin invitation. However, when the attendant disciple handed over the invitation, many cultivators who came to attend the ceremony saw the whole process. Although they did not say anything, they were waiting to see Zhenling make a fool of himself.
When the invitation was in Mei Tianqin's hands, Tiantong Laozu said with a guilty expression, "It's not difficult to open the restriction. The key is that this invitation is only made of ordinary talisman paper. When the restriction is opened, the invitation will be destroyed. If you want to open the restriction, you need to control your cultivation base and energy to the extreme. That's what's annoying."
When Mei Tianqin held the invitation in her hand, Tiantong Laozu already understood Tiantong Laozu's worries. She raised her head and looked in the direction of the viewing platform where Liang Jianfei was. Liang Jianfei had clearly been paying attention to the process of handing over the invitation. Seeing this, he slightly saluted Mei Tianqin from afar.
Although the cultivators on the viewing platform seemed to be paying attention to the treasure ship, they would inadvertently glance at the invitation in Mei Tianqin's hand, waiting to see Zhenling make a fool of himself.
Mei Tianqin nodded and smiled. Then, the hand holding the invitation suddenly lit up with a fiery red light. However, no one could see anything wrong with the invitation in her hand. However, if they took the invitation away from Mei Tianqin's hand, they would see that there was half a feather in her palm. It was the upper half of the Luan Daoist's life feather that she had previously subdued.
Then, under the shocked gazes of Liang Jianfei and the cultivators from the other sects, Mei Tianqin's free hand casually flipped open the invitation in her right palm.
Mei Tianqin was only a mid Dharma adept, but she could actually open the invitation that he had used a secret technique to seal so easily. This was somewhat unbelievable to Liang Jianfei, and he could not help but feel a trace of fear towards Mei Tianqin, a mid Dharma adept!
Liang Jianfei saw that Mei Tianqin showed a trace of surprise after reading the contents of the invitation. Then, he nodded at Liang Jianfei, who had a complicated expression on his face, and the invitation in his hand turned into a stream of light and flew towards the top of Tian Ling Mountain.
On a viewing platform on the west side of the harbor, Dongshan Laozu of the Canghai Sect sat in the middle. Several Core Forging disciples stood behind him and looked at the huge treasure ship in the harbor.
There was a flash of envy in Dongshan Laozu's eyes. He said to a disciple beside him, "The number of Dharma adepts on the Zhenling treasure ship is already strong enough. It seems that Lu Tianping doesn't need to follow the ship anymore!"
Dongshan Laozu was now a mid Dharma adept. There was indeed a hint of inquiry in his words to the Core Forging disciple beside him, as if he was suppressing a layer of respect.
The Core Forging disciple laughed coldly and said, "Don't worry, Uncle-Master. Lu Tianping will definitely follow the ship!"
Dongshan Laozu also saw that Liang Jianfei had used the invitation to test Zhenling. He could not help but ask, "That person should be a practitioner from Skyrend, right? What does the invitation say?"
The Core Forging disciple looked at Liang Jianfei and said, "This person is Liang Jianfei, the first direct disciple of the third generation of Skyrend. This person's swordsmanship can be said to have been taught by Xiao Baiyu. He is one of the most powerful practitioners among the third generation of practitioners."
Dongshan Laozu's eyes lit up and he said, "It seems that this person does not have a good relationship with Zhenling. Can we win him over to our side? Even if he does not help, it would be good to just cause some trouble for Zhenling."
The Core Forging disciple laughed lightly, as if he was mocking Dongshan Laozu's knowledge. However, his face was still serious as he said, "Uncle-Master, don't even think about this. Xiao Baiyu and Tianxuan Sect's Seven Fans Laozu are close friends. This Zhenling and Tianxuan Sect need each other now. Even if Skyrend and Zhenling cannot become allies, they will not be enemies."
Dongshan Laozu did not seem to notice the contempt in the Core Forging disciple's tone. Instead, he said with regret, "So that's how it is. This is a bit of a pity. Zhenling's current rise is so strong. If this continues, who can stop him from unifying the North Sea? I'm afraid that even the Fei Ling Sect of the past did not have Zhenling's current power!"
The Core Forging disciple's expression changed as if he had thought of something. Dongshan Laozu seemed to have said this casually. Then, he returned all his attention to the treasure ship in the harbor. He carefully observed every detail on the treasure ship. The conversation with the Core Forging disciple before seemed to be just a casual conversation.
At this moment, a streak of light streaked across the top of Tian Ling Mountain and instantly landed on the deck of the treasure ship. The streak of light disappeared, and the person inside was the famous North Sea Water Sword Immortal, Lu Tianping.
The cheers of Zhenling's disciples immediately sounded from all around the harbor. Amidst the cheers, Lu Ping nodded slightly at Jiang Tianlin. Tianhuan and Tianpeng each cast a spell, and the huge sail rose high along the mast. The seawater in the harbor suddenly surged, and undercurrents formed at the bottom of the ship. As Lu Ping cast the Water Control Art, the huge treasure ship began to slowly turn around.
At this moment, Jiang Tianlin took full control of the treasure ship. He drew the power of the large spirit vein in the treasure cabin and activated the various arrays and runes on the treasure ship. White waves suddenly rose several feet high from the stern of the treasure ship. The treasure ship slowly started moving and accelerated, heading out of the harbor.
Suddenly, hundreds of streaks of light of different colors appeared around the harbor, like fireworks in a festival. Countless Zhenling disciples cheered as they followed the treasure ship, surrounding the huge treasure ship as it sailed out of the harbor.
When the cultivators from various sects saw the treasure ship leaving the harbor, they also stood up and joined the ranks to send the treasure ship off. However, they only went through the formalities. Naturally, they wouldn't follow the treasured ship on streaks of light like the Zhenling cultivators.
After the treasure ship sailed for hundreds of miles to the west, the streaks of light of the Zhenling cultivators around the treasure ship gradually became sparse.
With the help of Lu Ping, Jiang Tianlin injected the power of the spirit vein in the treasure cabin into the various arrays and restrictions of the treasure ship, maintaining the normal sailing of the treasure ship. After that, everything on the treasure ship was handed over to Liu Tianyuan and a few other third-generation Dharma adepts.
Lu Ping, Jiang Tianlin, and a few other second-generation disciples returned to the treasure cabin. Tiancheng Laozu was the first to ask, "I saw that Skyrend's disciple seemed to be quite provocative. Nephew Lu, what's with that invitation?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, it's quite interesting. This time, I received two invitations. One is from the Central Plains' sacred land, Purple Sun Palace, and the other is from the Sky Breaking Sword Sect. Both invitations talk about the same thing."
Zi Yang Palace and Skyrend. The enmity between these two sects was known to almost everyone in the world of cultivation. Tianshan Laozu saw that Lu Ping made it sound so easy and could not help but ask curiously, "What is it? Could it be that the two sects are going to have a duel?"
Lu Ping was surprised and said, "Uncle-Master's guess is correct. The two sects are indeed going to have a duel, but these two invitations want me to go and watch the duel and be a witness."
These two sects could be said to be the two most powerful sword sects in the world of cultivation. To be able to be a witness to the duel between these two sword sects was proof of how high Lu Ping's status in the world of cultivation had reached.
Of course, it was impossible for Lu Ping to be the only witness. However, to be able to receive invitations from two sects at the same time, even if it was not unique, it was still very rare.
At this time, Tianshu Laozu suddenly asked, "Will there be any conflict with the sailing date of the treasure ship?"
Lu Ping smiled gently and said, "Uncle-Master, don't worry. It won't affect the previous plan."
Tianshu Laozu nodded and said no more. It was Jiang Tianlin who asked again, "Did the two sects specify the rules of the duel?"
Lu Ping chuckled and said with a strange expression, "It's the three generations of Zi Yang Palace and the six heirs to challenge Xiao Baiyu together!"
