Deep into the night, the full moon hung high in the sky. The Qingming River seemed to flow peacefully under the moonlight, but in reality, one could still hear the sound of the river crashing against the shore in the distance. As the wind blew gently, one could see a figure hovering above the wide surface of the river from afar.
Lu Ping was at the point where the Qingming River suddenly turned from east to west, and just a few miles behind Lu Ping was where the Nine Mystical Tower was located.
Suddenly, a clear and distant sound of a flute pierced through the air, filling the surging river surface. Lu Ping, who was hovering in mid-air, heard the sound of the flute and his entire body sank into the river.
One hundred and thirty-eight feet below the surface of the Qingming River, Lu Ping could clearly sense the main water vein of the Qingming River. As the water vein was close to where the Nine Mystical Tower was located, and a considerable portion of the water vein was used by the Nine Mystical Tower, the turbulence of the water vein here was exceptionally intense.
Under such circumstances, if it had been Lu Ping back at the foot of Luo Xin Mountain, he would not have even had the right to enter the water vein. Now, although the water vein seemed to be turbulent, Lu Ping could enter and leave at will.
Even so, when Lu Ping entered the water vein, he could still feel how small he was. To put it bluntly, this water vein was personally opened by Peng Daoren back then. Now, even though Lu Ping's strength was comparable to that of a Pure Yang expert, it would still be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot if he wanted to shake the entire water vein, at least in the eyes of others.
Perhaps some people would believe it if it was destruction. After all, the fact that Lu Ping had a Pure Yang spiritual treasure in his possession had long been known to the world. That was a Water Dissolving Talisman personally made by Daoist Chan. If it was really cut with a pair of scissors, even if it could not cut off the entire water vein, it would still cause serious damage to it. But if that happened, the mountains and rivers would definitely collapse and the consequences would be unimaginable. Even Lu Ping himself might not be able to survive the backlash of the water vein.
Within the water vein, Lu Ping could clearly sense that although the water vein of the Qingming River was turbulent, there was a unique rhythm to it. This was due to the unique turbulence caused by the Nine Mystical Tower's use of the water vein. The closer he got to the Nine Mystical Tower, the more obvious the turbulence became.
Although the sound of Lin Yu Laozu's flute could be heard, it was clear that Laozu had not yet activated the formation to restrict the Nine Mystical Tower's spiritual vein through the earth vein. He had only informed Lu Ping to start preparing.
Lu Ping flipped his hands and made several hand seals. The Linglong Wine Cauldron was already floating above Lu Ping's head and slowly rotating in the water vein.
Although it would only take a moment to block the water vein of the Qingming River, the danger involved was no less than that of Feng Lu and Xiao Baiyu's attack on the Nine Mystical Tower's formation.
However, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Among the eleven practitioners participating in the plan, only Lu Ping was proficient in water-based techniques and had the most experience and confidence in controlling the water vein. Moreover, in the process of blocking the Qingming River's water vein, Lu Ping could also legitimately collect the essence of the water vein. This was what Lu Ping truly valued.
Previously, Lu Ping had relied on the essence contained in half of the Qingming River's water vein to allow his level of training to advance rapidly from the mid Dharma stage to the late Dharma stage in just a few decades. His foundation was stable and his inner Yuan was strong. He did not seem to be lacking in the slightest because of the rapid increase in his level of training.
This was only a branch of the Qingming River. This time, he could legitimately collect the essence of the entire Qingming River's water vein. Although the risk was great, to Lu Ping, this was no less than robbing half of the Longevity Cave. Compared to the risk, it was worth it no matter what. For this, Lu Ping had even given up the opportunity to attack the Nine Mystical Tower first to reap the most benefits.
Suddenly, a muffled rumble could be heard from the Qingming River. From the bottom of the river, there was a sudden turbidity. The mud and sand were swept up by the water vein and flowed downstream. Very soon, the water vein was filled with turbid water.
Laozu had finally begun to activate the earth vein. However, if he wanted to use the earth vein to restrict the supply of the Nine Mystical Tower's spirit vein, the commotion would naturally be huge. At this time, it was because Lu Ping was in the water vein. If he were in the air above the Qingming River, he would realize that the entire Qingming River, with the Nine Mystical Tower as the center, was shaking violently. The water of the Qingming River had also begun to churn, and the raging river water was constantly rushing towards the banks.
In the Linglong wine cauldron floating above Lu Ping's head, the weapon spirit, Linglong, leaned against the side of the cauldron and said, "Big Brother, it should be starting. Linglong can already feel that the earth vein's movement has stabilized. It should be that those people have already reached the limit of their control over the earth vein. If we act too late, the Nine Mystical Tower's counterattack will follow."
Lu Ping nodded his head and took a deep breath. With a shake of his body, twelve Genchen beads suddenly burst out from Lu Ping's body, forming a five-colored halo around him.
Then, a white jade lotus flower bloomed beneath Lu Ping's feet. The refined petals were covered in dense runes that flickered, resonating with the twelve Genchen beads. The Genchen Grand Array was formed.
Then, Lu Ping's divine sense spread out and the Origin Time Grand Array started operating. As the divine sense's fluctuation gradually synchronized with the rhythm of the water vein's fluctuation, the entire Origin Time Grand Array suddenly became illusory in the Qing Ming River's water vein. It was as if the array's defense was about to melt into the water vein.
At this moment, Lu Ping stretched out his hand and pointed towards the top of his head. The Genchen Wine Cauldron made a "weng" sound and began to slowly revolve in the water vein.
The essence of the Qing Ming River was quietly assimilated and condensed by the Genchen Grand Array. Then, it continuously flowed into the Linglong Wine Cauldron, but it did not cause any disturbances in the entire water vein.
In the void outside the Nine Profound Tower's Grand Array, San Chen Laozu and Yang Shouchang stood side by side. Both of their eyes clearly cultivated a special eye technique, as they shone brightly in the night without attracting any attention.
"Should we make a move? Gu Yue has clearly used the earth vein's movement to activate the Nine Profound Tower's spirit vein. Moreover, the power of the Qing Ming River's water vein seems to have weakened. "
Yang Shouchang clearly couldn't make up his mind. At this time, the Peacock King Brother, who was always teasing and mischievous, also appeared much more serious.
"Let's wait a little longer. The power of the water vein is extremely weak, but it seems to be gradual. It has not caused any disturbances in the entire Qing Ming River's water vein."
San Chen Laozu's expression was solemn as he looked at the ground and the river beneath his feet. It was as if he was able to observe some of the minute details.
Yang Shouchang pondered for a moment and said, "You mean to say that this Lu Tianping still has the confidence to continue weakening the water vein?"
San Chen Laozu said in a low voice, "That's right. Although I don't know what method he is using, it is obviously a marvelous technique. No wonder he is known as the Water Sword Immortal. Looks like Fellow Xiao's previous suggestion makes a lot of sense."
Yang Shouchang, however, was a little impatient. "With such a big movement, I'm afraid the Nine Profound Tower has already sensed that something is wrong. If we wait for too long, I'm afraid they will counterattack, and it will be troublesome!"
San Chen Laozu's eyes flickered. "Let's wait a little longer, let's wait a little longer!"
At this moment, the Qing Ming River's water vein was weakened once again. An endless stream of water essence was plagiarized by Lu Ping using the Genchen Formation and injected into the Linglong Wine Cauldron. It even dyed the entire Second Tribulation Spiritual Treasure blue.
As Lu Ping's stealing of the water essence intensified, even with the protection of the Genchen Formation, the Qing Ming River's water vein could not help but become turbulent.
However, the turbulence was not intense at first. As Lu Ping secretly stole the water essence, he also used the Linglong Wine Cauldron floating above his head to suppress the turbulence caused by the loss of the water essence.
However, this process did not last for too long. The turbulence of the Qing Ming River's water vein became more and more intense, to the point where Lu Ping could no longer suppress it with the Linglong Wine Cauldron. Not only did the violent turbulence break free from Lu Ping's restraints, it even spread far and wide, directly affecting the Nine Profound Tower's Formation that was absorbing the water essence.
However, this was not the end. Even though Lu Ping could no longer suppress the turbulence of the water vein, since he could not steal it secretly, he might as well steal it openly. With the assistance of the Genchen Formation, Lu Ping directly activated the "Spirit Gathering" ability to help the Linglong Wine Cauldron snatch the Qing Ming River's water essence.
The huge amount of water essence even dyed the entire Genchen Formation and the Linglong Wine Cauldron into a ball of deep blue light. Because the Linglong Wine Cauldron could not store enough water essence, the ball of deep blue light expanded even more.
Lu Ping's actions finally caused the entire Qing Ming River's water vein to retaliate. The Qing Ming River's water vein was the first thing Peng Daoren created after he landed in this world, and it contained the Heaven and Earth energy of this world. Lu Ping's unbridled actions finally caused the entire river to retaliate.
In the void outside the Nine Mystical Tower's Sect Protecting Grand Formation, Patriarch Three Chen and Yang Shouchang looked at the Nine Mystical Tower's Sect Protecting Grand Formation flickering. Clearly, it was because the Spirit Vein and Qing Ming River that supported the Sect Protecting Grand Formation were being suppressed.
"Let's do it, the Nine Profound Tower has already reacted. They're trying to use the Spirit Vein and water vein to sort out the surrounding Qing Ming River's water vein and earth vein. They've obviously realized that someone is targeting them."
Yang Shouchang clearly could not hold back his anger at this moment. "If we don't act now, I'm afraid that Fellow Daoist Xiao and Feng Lu will personally come to question us."
Just as Yang Shouchang finished speaking, San Chen Laozu's eyes suddenly lit up. Pointing to the distance, he exclaimed, "Look!"
Yang Shouchang did not know what was going on. Looking in the direction San Chen Laozu was pointing, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. "The Qing Ming River's flood is rising, this, this is the Heaven and Earth energy. That brat actually blocked the entire Qing Ming River's water vein and activated the Heaven and Earth energy. He must be tired of living. Even True Spirit Laozu can't withstand this kind of backlash."
San Chen Laozu's face was filled with admiration. "Amazing, amazing. This time, the Nine Profound Tower's Formation will definitely be broken!"
Yang Shouchang shouted, "Then what about this brat?"
San Chen Laozu waved his hand. Thirty-six Seven-colored Restriction Breaking Talismans fell from the sky like thirty-six rainbow-colored stars. Without turning his head, San Chen Laozu said, "He chose his own path, let's leave it to the heavens!"
Thirty-six rainbow-colored stars were arranged in an orderly fashion, directly piercing through the void and landing on the Nine Profound Tower's sect-protecting formation, forming a mysterious formation. This was one of the most brilliant methods of formation masters, "using a formation to break a formation."
Yang Shouchang looked at the Qing Ming River behind him. The flood from upstream had already broken through the embankments on both sides of the Qing Ming River. The surging flood poured out, turning the plains on the south bank of the Qing Ming River into a country of water.
"I hope that brat can escape!"
