Lu Ping's storm-like attacks made the Heavenly Demon tremble in fear. However, the Heavenly Demon did not know that Lu Ping was making use of the time to strike fear into the Heavenly Demon before his cultivation level dropped. The Heavenly Demon was terrified of Lu Ping!
Just as the Triple Light Sacred Water washed away the Heavenly Demon's fog wall, Lu Ping stood in front of the Heavenly Demon with the Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure in his hand.
The two ends of the praying mantis did not know what fear was. It only liked it when Lu Ping used its two big blades to cut everything in front of it in half.
And Lu Ping did as it wished. The moment he stood in front of the Heavenly Demon, he had already taken out the Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure. As he opened the scissors, two blade lights were already aimed at the Heavenly Demon.
At such a close distance, under Lu Ping's Divine Telekinesis, the Heavenly Demon was almost in a situation where it could not dodge.
However, the Heavenly Demon still chose to retreat!
Although the accompanying spiritual treasure in his hand might have surpassed a Second Tribulation Spiritual Treasure in terms of power and quality, it was still a companion spiritual treasure. It could not be compared to a spiritual treasure of the same level that had been tempered by the Thunder Tribulation.
Previously, in order to resist the Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure's attack, the Heavenly Demon had to use the companion spiritual treasure to take the attack of the praying mantis. It even caused some damage to the companion spiritual treasure and suffered a great loss.
This time, in such a close confrontation, the Heavenly Demon still could not avoid the Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure's attack. The Heavenly Demon still had to take the attack head-on. However, the Heavenly Demon could take the opportunity to retreat. Although the Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure's attack was powerful, it was not easy to injure the Heavenly Demon.
The companion spiritual treasure in the Heavenly Demon's hand was a cloud of constantly changing fog. It looked weak, but in fact, it was extremely tough and changeable. Just as Lu Ping's scissors approached, the cloud of fog had already set up nine fog shields in front of it.
The blade light closed, and the nine fog shields were broken one by one. But the Sky Demon behind the fog shields had already escaped silently. Lu Ping could only see its back from afar.
However, even though Lu Ping was not in the mood to fight to the death with the Sky Demons, he wanted to seize the opportunity to chase after the Sky Demons and drive them into the Southern Sea Region. After that, occupying the deserted island that could attract the Sky Demons was the most important thing for him to do.
Lu Ping turned into a stream of light, making contact with the clouds in the sky as he flew forward. He followed closely behind the Heavenly Demon. Next, Lu Ping entered the void space before him. When he reappeared, he was already behind the Heavenly Demon.
Although the Heavenly Demon was fleeing, it could clearly see what was happening behind it. Faced with Lu Ping's spatial divine ability, the Heavenly Demon released a faint mist. This mist also entered the void. When it appeared again, it had already wrapped around the Sword of True Spirit's hilt. Then, it firmly held Mo Li in place.
As expected, although the Spiritual Treasure had broken into two and cut through the nine fog shields, the Spiritual Treasure in the Heavenly Demon's hands was not completely damaged even though it had been weakened.
The Sword of True Spirit, which was bound, was helpless against the Heavenly Demon's escape. When Lu Ping arrived, the Heavenly Demon had already completely escaped from Lu Ping's control.
Looking at Mo Li, who was still struggling in front of him, Lu Ping casually suppressed the mist that was wrapped around the sword hilt. Then, he looked at the mist that was constantly struggling and changing in front of him. Lu Ping could not help but reveal a trace of surprise. Then, he stored the mist in the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash.
Previously, Lu Ping's Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure had not been able to cause any damage to the Heavenly Demon's Spiritual Treasure. However, he did not expect that in order to escape, the Heavenly Demon would be willing to separate a part of its Spiritual Treasure's Origin to hold Lu Ping back.
After all, it was the Origin Essence of a Spiritual Treasure. Although it could not become a Spiritual Treasure on its own, it was an excellent item that could be used to improve the quality of other treasures. The Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash had already reached a new bottleneck. This Origin Essence of a Spiritual Treasure would be of great help in improving the Thunder Calabash's quality.
Although the Heavenly Demon had completely escaped from Lu Ping's control, Lu Ping still followed the Heavenly Demon's escape trail for thousands of miles. Only when he was sure that the Heavenly Demon was completely terrified and had fled to the southern sea did he turn around and return to the sea near the deserted island.
The battle here had already subsided when Lu Ping defeated the Heavenly Demon. Although the attack of the two Asuras leading several Jade Mara had put a lot of pressure on the ship, with Jiang Tianlin's control and the support of the ship, the four mid Dharma adepts on the ship were able to defend against the attack of the two Asuras.
After that, Jiang Tianlin and Laozu suddenly attacked and killed three Jade Mara consecutively. Immediately after that, the black fog of the Heavenly Demon suddenly shrank and dissipated. Lu Ping had actually defeated the Heavenly Demon, causing the Mara in the sea to lose its will to fight. First, the Jade Mara, who had survived the Nine Dragon Bells, fled in the direction that the Heavenly Demon had retreated. Following that, the Jade Mara, who had surrounded the ship, was also frightened by Jiang Tianlin's attacks. In the end, it abandoned the two Asuras and retreated. At this time, the two Asuras also knew that they had lost the advantage. When Jiang Tianlin was about to attack one of the Asuras again, the two Asuras retreated at the same time, as if they had agreed on it.
After Lu Ping returned, the ship was already cruising around the deserted island. At the same time, it began to eliminate the Mara who were still hiding in the surrounding sea.
It was only after Lu Ping returned that Zhenling prepared to go to the island. However, they did not encounter too much danger on the island. Although there were still many Mara hiding, under the suppression of Lu Ping and the various Dharma adepts, Laozu, they quickly escaped or died. The entire island was quickly occupied by Zhenling after more than half a day of clearing.
After that, Perfected Xuanwei began to lead the sects' cultivators to begin a large-scale survey of the island. Meanwhile, Lu Ping returned to the ship.
"We still have to inform the other sects about the Heavenly Demon," Jiang Tianlin agreed.
Jiang Tianlin agreed, "This is not a small matter, and we can't hide it. I've already sent out the news, and I believe that the Profound Sky Sect and the Moon Sect will soon have a response. I've already informed my own sect to postpone advancing. I believe that because of the Sky Demon, the other sects won't blame us. Next, we'll use all our strength to investigate this deserted island and see what's strange about it. There's only one Sky Demon here.
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "I am afraid that we cannot hide the matter of the deserted island. After all, this is the Heavenly Profound Sect's territory. Although Mara was wreaking havoc on the sea, the Heavenly Profound Sect still has many hidden sentries in this sea region to monitor."
Jiang Tianlin said, "Of course. We don't plan on hiding it from the other sects. We just want to be first. No matter what we discover on the island, our sect can't monopolize it. However, our sect can get a part of it first, and the other sects can't say anything. This is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world."
At this moment, Liu Tianyuan walked into the ship. There was a sliver of excitement on his face. He said, "There is news from the deserted island. A spiritual stone mine has been discovered. Go and have a look."
"A spiritual stone mine?" Jiang Tianlin was stunned.
"It has only been half a day. So fast?" Lu Ping was also stunned.
However, the two of them were thinking very quickly. They were both thinking about how to hide this news for as long as possible so that Zhenling could obtain more benefits.
The two of them looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts. However, at this time, they still had to go to the island to investigate. It would be best if they could confirm the grade of the spiritual stone mine. However, the grade of the spiritual stone mine should not be low since everyone on the island could not wait to send the news back.
Lu Ping and Jiang Tianlin quickly arrived at the deserted island. Spiritual Master Xuanwei was already waiting there with a face full of excitement. When he saw Lu Ping and Jiang Tianlin descending, he quickly went forward and tried to suppress the excitement on his face. He said, "A treasured island. This is a treasured island!"
Lu Ping's face lit up. He said, "What grade is the spiritual stone mine?"
Spiritual Master Xuanwei's suppressed voice was filled with joy. He said, "It is a large spiritual stone mine!"
"What?!"
Even though Lu Ping and Jiang Tianlin were prepared, they could not help but exclaim when they confirmed the news.
Spiritual Master Xuanwei seemed to have predicted their expressions. He immediately changed his expression and said, "Unfortunately …"
At this time, even Lu Ping could not stay calm. He hurriedly said, "Unfortunately what?"
Spiritual Master Xuanwei was very satisfied that he could control the atmosphere of the scene and make the two great cultivators look nervous. However, he also knew that he should stop while he was ahead in front of the two. He immediately explained, "Unfortunately, this spiritual stone mine was severely damaged by Mara. It almost dropped a grade. Although we managed to chase away Mara and barely maintain the grade of a large spiritual stone mine, compared to the rich mines on Frost Island, this one can only be considered a poor mine."
The so-called poor mine in a large spiritual stone mine meant that the ratio of top grade spirit stones in this spiritual stone mine was extremely low.
Frost Island's spiritual stone mine not only produced a high amount of spirit stones, the ratio of top grade spirit stones it contained was also not low. It was truly a rich mine. However, the spiritual stone mine in front of them could only barely reach the standard of a large spiritual stone mine. Moreover, due to the destruction caused by Mara's army, the ratio of top grade spirit stones produced was extremely low.
"Moreover, there's more than just a spiritual stone vein on this deserted island. The entire deserted island is a huge associated spiritual stone vein. Apart from this large spiritual stone vein, there was originally another large spiritual stone vein in the associated spiritual stone vein. However, it was also ruined by Mara. Now that the main spiritual stone vein has been destroyed, the spiritual stone vein has flowed into the other seven branches. There are only seven medium-sized spiritual stone veins left on the island that are distributed in different directions."
Lu Ping glanced at Spiritual Master Xuanwei. Lu Ping who had calmed down immediately saw through this guy's thoughts. He glared at him and said, "What else is there? Say it all in one go!"
Daoist Profound Wei chuckled and said, "Presently, we've discovered traces of a few other ore veins on the island, but we haven't had the time to specifically investigate them. What ore veins are they, their grade, and the size of the reserves haven't been determined yet. But what we can be sure of is that this small island is indeed a treasure island worthy of its name."
At this time, Jiang Tianlin asked, "Why didn't the Sky Profound Sect discover such a treasure island before?"
