The cultivators from Flowing Cloud Hall followed Yun Tian Laozu out of the valley. Watching them leave, Chi Lianying said, "And here I was, thinking that you were going to attack. Unexpectedly, you let them go so easily."
Lu Ping said in an exasperated tone, "This is Flowing Cloud Hall's territory. If I start a massacre here, even if I have three heads and six arms, I will not be able to stop the entire Flowing Cloud Hall from making things difficult for me. Not to mention, doing so will easily provoke the Central Plains' world of cultivation. When that happens, it will only make things worse. It is best if both sides have some reservations. Flowing Cloud Hall is located in the Inner Region of the Central Plains. Normally, it would not have any dealings with the overseas world of cultivation. However, it is also not an enemy that we can casually provoke."
When Lu Ping turned around, he saw that Linglong had regained the appearance of a beautiful little girl. However, after overcoming her 2nd Lightning Tribulation, Linglong had grown up considerably. She appeared much more mature. Even so, she still appeared to be only 14 or 15 years old.
Lu Ping chuckled and asked, "How is it?"
Linglong giggled and waved her hand at Lu Ping. Immediately, the spiritual energy within the valley churned. Lu Ping spread out his divine sense and found that the surrounding spiritual energy was rapidly converging towards the valley with Linglong as the center.
Lu Ping stretched his hand out and the turbulent waves of spiritual energy immediately dissipated. He said, "All right, all right. If we cause too much of a ruckus, that Yun Tian Laozu might go back on his word and come back to kill us, what should we do?"
Chi Lianying smiled and asked, "Where are we going next? By the way, when will the sword duel between Ziyang Palace and Skyrend begin? You are the one who invited both sides. Surely, you know the location of the duel, right? "
Lu Ping kept the wine cauldron. However, Linglong continued to play around with Lu Ping and did not return into the wine cauldron. Only then did he say, "Flowing Cloud Hall has already noticed this place. We cannot stay here any longer. Let's leave this place first. As for the location of the duel, it will be at the West River Cultivation Region. We are not far from there. However, before that, you should first overcome your 1st Lightning Tribulation. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to enter the Sword Duel Grand Meeting."
Not long after Yun Tian Laozu and the rest left the valley, Qian Changming couldn't help but ask, "Martial Uncle, why did Lu Tianping come to our sect at this time?"
Yun Tian Laozu snorted and said, "What other reason could there be? It should be because of the rumor that the six heirs of Ziyang Palace have joined hands to challenge Xiao Baiyu. Xiao Baiyu is known as the number one sword cultivator in the cultivation world, while Ziyang Palace is the number one sword sect in the world. Their duel will naturally cause a stir in the cultivation world! Lu Tianping's sword techniques have shaken the cultivation world. Now that Zhenling is an ally of Skyrend, he will naturally not miss out on such a grand meeting! As for why he appeared in our sect's territory, maybe he's accompanying his female friend on a sightseeing tour. "
However, Qian Changming still seemed to be a little worried and said, "That Spiritual Treasure that just passed the tribulation should be a Second Tribulation Spiritual Treasure. Even in our sect, there are only two of such treasures. This Lu Tianping is really bold. When a normal Spiritual Treasure passes the tribulation, it will be under the heavy protection of the sect, for fear that it will be robbed after the tribulation. However, this Lu Tianping randomly found a desolate place and dared to use his Spiritual Treasure to summon the tribulation lightning. Isn't this obviously inviting people to rob it?"
"Who dares to take it?"
Yun Tian Laozu snorted and said, "Do you still think he's a third generation cultivator like you? If he wasn't absolutely confident in his own strength, why would he randomly choose a place for his treasure to go through the tribulation? Of course, it's because he believes that no one can take the treasure from him! Think about it, if Xiao Baiyu summoned the tribulation lightning for his treasure near our sect, would you dare to take it? "
Looking at his disciple, who had his head lowered in silence, Yun Tian sighed, "In this world, there will always be some extremely talented people whose achievements make others despair. The only thing we can do is never lose hope and confidence to catch up to them."
Qian Changming suddenly looked up and said seriously, "Martial Uncle, I know what to do. Lu Tianping won't be a burden to me, but a motivation to move forward."
Yun Tian Laozu nodded in satisfaction. The reason why he liked this disciple wasn't because of Qian Changming's talent. On the contrary, as a famous large sect in Middle Earth, the Flowing Cloud Pavilion's third generation cultivators had many disciples who were better than Qian Changming in both cultivation and talent.
The only thing that Yun Tian Laozu cared about was this disciple's unyielding fighting spirit. No matter what kind of predicament or how strong the opponent was, this disciple could always maintain a strong fighting spirit and an optimistic attitude.
In Yun Tian Laozu's opinion, only a person like this could become the future Sect Leader of the Flowing Cloud Pavilion. Only then could Flowing Cloud Pavilion resist the pressure from the surrounding sects, the Nine Mysteries Tower and the Wuxing School.
Yun Tian Laozu suddenly stopped in mid-air and turned around. "Changming, take everyone back. The Old Man has something to do. He'll be back soon!"
Qian Changming asked doubtfully, "Martial Uncle, are you going back to find Lu Tianping? They shouldn't be in the valley right now."
Yun Tian Laozu patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Your Martial Uncle isn't stupid enough to find trouble with Lu Tianping at this time."
Although Qian Changming was full of doubts, he didn't dare to disobey the order of his most respected sect elder. Seeing that his disciple had left, Yun Tian Laozu turned around and flew towards the northeast.
Lu Ping brought Chi Lianying north to the Yulan River. Then, he followed the Yulan River to the east and arrived at a foggy swamp.
Seeing the surprise on Chi Lianying's face, Lu Ping smiled and said, "This is the Lush Jade Swamp. It's the place where the Yulan River and the Yulan River meet. If you follow the Yulan River north, you'll reach the Yulan Mountain Courtyard that Zhenling secretly opened in the Central Plains. This place used to be a gathering place for ferocious beasts. Few people ever come here. The mist here can weaken the divine sense of a cultivator. When the Mara's Calamity broke out in Hebei, the final battle took place here. All the sects had a chaotic battle here. After the battle, the Lush Jade Swamp became even more desolate. Therefore, there's no need to worry about people disturbing you. It's a good place to undergo the tribulation. The only problem is that the spiritual energy here is thin and not helpful for cultivation. "
Chi Lianying smiled and said, "It's not bad. At least, there's no need to worry about people coming after you undergo the tribulation. But speaking of which, you went through so much trouble to find such a dangerous place for me to summon the tribulation. Does that mean you'll have to leave for a while? "
Lu Ping knew that he could not hide it from her. He smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, I can only protect you during the tribulation. After that, you'll have to train on your own for a period of time. Alternatively, I can send you back to the Yulan Mountain Courtyard. That place is currently managed by Elder Mei Tianqin's eldest disciple, Sister Tianhui."
Upon hearing this, Chi Lianying shook his head and refused, saying, "Forget it then. I'll just train here in the swamp. Don't worry, no one will cause trouble for a Dharma adept for no reason, especially in such a desolate place."
Lu Ping said helplessly, "I didn't expect you to have accumulated so much. You almost triggered the tribulation when you just broke through the early Dharma stage. Otherwise, we would have had enough time to return to the East Sea or the North Sea to undergo the tribulation. Furthermore, this matter is rather tricky. I can't delay any longer. After you successfully undergo the tribulation, I'll have to leave immediately."
Lu Ping hesitated for a while, but still handed her a jade bottle.
Chi Lianying looked at the jade bottle in her hand doubtfully. There were many seals and runes engraved on it, and there were a few small spirit-sealing talismans pasted on the mouth of the bottle. She knew that the elixir inside was not to be underestimated, so she put it away and asked, "What's inside?"
Lu Ping thought for a while and said, "I didn't want to give it to you at first. It's called the Heaven Stealing Elixir, and it's an elixir that's only used when you're in a life-or-death situation. Consuming it will have very serious consequences, so you can't use it unless you have no other choice. It's only useful during the first tribulation. Although it can save your life, it's not very useful. I'm just … just a little worried."
Chi Lianying saw that Lu Ping was speaking incoherently because of the elixir, and she could not help but find it funny. However, she knew that Lu Ping was concerned about her, and she also knew that the elixir was inauspicious for a Dharma adept, so she could not bring herself to say it. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you have so little confidence in me? If I can't even survive the first tribulation, then I, Chi Lianying, might as well kill myself. I won't use the elixir, but I won't return it to you either. "
From Chi Lianying's point of view, although the elixir was inauspicious, it was the true expression of Lu Ping's sincerity, and that was what she truly valued.
In fact, Lu Ping was really in a mess because of his concern. Although no one could be certain about the tribulation, and any accidents could happen, the most fundamental thing was still the strength of the cultivator undergoing the tribulation. If the cultivator was really powerful to a certain extent, then there would naturally be no need to fear any accidents during the tribulation.
It was just like when Lu Ping summoned the second tribulation. The Sword of True Spirit forcefully intervened and attempted to undergo the tribulation with Lu Ping, causing the power of the second tribulation to suddenly increase to the intensity of a pure Yang tribulation. However, Lu Ping still relied on his strong cultivation foundation and powerful body to endure it, and in the end, he obtained great benefits.
After Chi Lianying summoned the tribulation, the entire process was daunting but not dangerous, but Lu Ping, who was far away from the tribulation, was still on tenterhooks as he watched.
It wasn't until the ninth lightning bolt struck down that Lu Ping dared to enter the Abundant Jade Swamp and look for Chi Lianying, who had just finished his Tribulation Tribulation. Chi Lianying was still in the air, but he didn't have the courage to enter the Abundant Jade Swamp.
By this time, Chi Lianying's tribulation had already been completed for more than two hours. After absorbing the pure Yang aura of the first tribulation, the injuries caused by the tribulation had mostly healed.
Lu Ping patrolled the surroundings of the Lush Jade Swamp and only completely relaxed when he found that Chi Lianying's tribulation really did not attract anyone's attention.
After that, Lu Ping used the Linglong Wine Cauldron as a guide to extract a small water vein from the Yulan River into the Lush Jade Swamp, so that Chi Lianying could use it to open up a temporary cave for training.
After the Linglong Wine Cauldron had undergone the second tribulation, its ability to control and gather spirit veins had greatly increased. During the battle at the Nine Profound Tower, Lu Ping had to spend a great deal of effort to divert the attention of the Nine Profound Tower when he wanted to draw a water vein from the Qing Ming River to his encampment.
Now, with the help of the Linglong Wine Cauldron, he had managed to extract a branch of the Yulan River without attracting the attention of the Wuxing School, the Tianxuan Sect, and the Koi clan, who all viewed the Yulan River as their own.
The Linglong Wine Cauldron would be used to suppress this water vein, and Lu Ping left nearly a hundred top-grade spirit stones for Chi Lianying before leaving the Lush Jade Swamp and flying south.
The Qing Ming River flowed from the west to the east, and when it reached the vicinity of the Nine Profound Tower, it turned southeast and flowed into the Southern Sea.
Lu Ping also didn't expect the gathering to be held in the Nine Xuan Mountain. After all, this was a place he couldn't be more familiar with. But with so many great presences gathered here, did they really think the Nine Xuan Pavilion was blind to their presence?
When he passed by the valley where the Thieving Laozu's cave was located, Lu Ping was slightly surprised. This was the place? Furthermore, judging from the marks left behind, the gathering was within the cave that Laozu had opened up.
Lu Ping was shocked. Could they be planning to enter from the Longevity Sky Grotto? However, during the battle at the Nine Profound Tower, Mara's army had broken through the Nine Profound Tower's training grounds, and the cultivators from the various sects had taken the opportunity to plunder. Lu Ping had entered the Longevity Sky Grotto from there, causing the entire place to be a meter high. How could the Nine Profound Tower not have noticed?
If they had, why would the Nine Profound Tower continue to keep this hidden danger? Could this place be a trap?
Lu Ping was not in a hurry to enter the valley, and instead, he flew above the valley. This time, he could clearly see that the huge rock that was the entrance to the Thieving Heaven Grotto had already shattered into pieces. It was clear that the Nine Profound Tower had found the entrance that Thieving Laozu had secretly opened up after the Longevity Sky Grotto's calamity, and they followed the clues to completely destroy the Thieving Heaven Grotto.
Then how did Xiao Baiyu and the rest find this place?
Lu Ping was bewildered, but he still didn't enter the valley. When he flew across the sky above the valley again, an angry voice suddenly blasted in his ears, "I say, kid, you're really bored. You're making Old Yuan dizzy by wandering around in the sky. Hurry up and get down here!"
The surrounding space vibrated as if it had bound Lu Ping in an invisible cage. Following which, the surrounding air currents became chaotic, and in the perception of Lu Ping's divine sense, an invisible hand was already grabbing towards Lu Ping's body.
Lu Ping's heart turned cold. Based on this spatial ability and the powerful aura that Lu Ping's divine sense had captured when the irritable voice sounded, the person who made the move was an authentic Pure Yang cultivator. Furthermore, it was a Pure Yang cultivator of the demon race!
