Lu Ping did not expect that the secret meeting with the Longhuai Ancestor in the secret perished ground would yield such a great harvest. After returning to the North Sea, he even temporarily summoned the two formation masters of Zhenling, Deng Tianming and the Sky Fox, who were in charge of the migration of Feiling Island and the capture of the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, to Tianling Mountain.
"How is it? What are the possibilities?" Lu Ping asked Deng Tianming, who first looked at the formation understanding jade slip left behind by the Longhuai Ancestor.
Among the formation masters of Zhenling, Deng Tianming and the Sky Fox had the highest achievements. The original formation master of Zhenling, Perfected Xuanchen, did not manage to achieve Dharma in the end. He had already passed away decades ago when his lifespan was exhausted.
Between the two of them, Deng Tianming was more talented in the art of array formations. He was the true number one array formation grandmaster in Zhen Ling Sect. In Lu Ping's long-term plans for Zhen Ling Sect, Deng Tianming was involved in almost all the plans related to the art of array formations. On the other hand, Sky Fox was slightly less talented in the art of array formations, but she had the support of the current pillar of Zhen Ling Sect. This allowed Sky Fox to receive the greatest amount of funding from Zhen Ling Sect for her research in the art of array formations. Hence, Sky Fox's knowledge in the art of array formations was also extremely high. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been tasked with the task of finding the exact location of the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven in the void.
Deng Tianming frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "According to the records in this jade slip, if it is truly combined with the nine fundamental formations, it is indeed possible to set up a formation similar to the Myriad Poison Sky Wall. It also has the effect of concealing the aura of a True Spirit Cultivator …"
Lu Ping's face lit up with joy and he said, "So this method will work?"
Deng Tianming shook his head, and his expression seemed to be somewhat helpless.
"Why?" Lu Ping's expression froze, but he still maintained his calm and asked.
The Sky Fox also looked at the contents of the jade slip and answered, "It's because our cultivation is not enough!"
Seeing the confusion on Lu Ping's face, the Sky Fox continued to explain, "With our cultivation in the early Dharma stage, we are not up to the requirements of setting up such a formation. In fact, even a late Dharma adept would find it difficult to set it up. Only a Pure Yang or True Spirit adept can do it."
Deng Tianming continued, "This lack of cultivation refers to our lack of cultivation in the path of formations. The Longhuai Ancestor has studied the Myriad Poison Sky Wall for tens of thousands of years and has yet to crack it. Even though we have Jiao Daoren's nine fundamental formations in our hands, each of the nine fundamental formations can be said to be broad and profound. In fact, it is enough for a formation master to spend his entire life studying and trying to understand them. To want to simultaneously open up the essence of the nine fundamental formations, unless we have the lifespan and talent of Jiao Daoren …"
Lu Ping was very disappointed. If this formation was successfully set up, then Lu Ping could still extend his footprint to the limits of Zhenling's sphere of influence after attaining the immortal soul. After Lu Ping, as long as Zhenling could protect the immortal soul, then Zhenling could be under the protection of this formation and not be afraid of any sect's provocations.
But if this formation was not successfully set up, then after Lu Ping achieved the immortal soul, he could only be trapped in the Seven Stars Cave Heaven. If Zhenling was attacked by various sects in the future, he could only be trapped in a corner of the North Sea.
"Actually, it is not impossible to set up this formation …"
Deng Tianming wanted to say something but stopped. Lu Ping was stunned, but he calmed down and said, "Brother Deng, please say it!"
Deng Tianming nodded and said, "It is extremely difficult to control all nine fundamental formations, but if one person focuses on one, it is not impossible …"
"But that requires at least nine formation masters, and each of them has to understand a fundamental formation. At the same time, the nine of them have to have a tacit understanding when setting up the formation. Let's not talk about the last two. Just training nine formation masters in one sect at the same time, even the Crystal Palace and the Purple Sun Palace combined might not be able to do it."
This was obviously not feasible. Lu Ping shook his head and was a little dejected. Now, Lu Ping was also confident that he could achieve the immortal soul in two hundred years, but when he thought about how he would have to stay in the Seven Stars Cave Heaven for at least three hundred years after achieving the immortal soul, he shuddered.
Although this kind of formation could only restrict Lu Ping to a few important places after achieving the True Spirit Realm, he would at least be able to look around. Not to mention he could use this to deter the other sects, especially in the area Zhenling had opened up outside the North Sea.
However, Lu Ping was not an array master, but the Heavenly Fox already understood Deng Tianming's meaning. He said with a smile, "What Senior Brother Deng means is to first create a part of the formation that we can completely control. In the future, when our sect's formation masters thoroughly study the other fundamental formation, they will be able to create another part that they can control. Like this, as long as the inheritance of our sect's array masters doesn't end, the nine fundamental formations will be completely studied by the array masters of the past generations. At that time, we only need a True Spirit Cultivator to combine the nine parts of the formation into one. Then, this formation that can protect a True Spirit Cultivator from the Small Thousand World can be successfully laid down, but …"
Lu Ping said in a dejected manner, "But this process can't be completed in one go. At least, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up in this lifetime!"
The Heavenly Fox giggled and seemed to be taking pleasure in Zhenling's misfortune. The current Zhenling inheritance had already reached six generations and Lu Ping's prestige was growing. Not to mention Zhenling, even in the entire cultivation world, there weren't many people who would take pleasure in the North Sea Water Sword Immortal's misfortune.
After Lu Ping established Huang Li Island, he traveled the world. Huang Li Island had always been guarded by the Heavenly Fox, so the two of them didn't spend much time together. Now that the formation couldn't be laid down, Lu Ping could only guard the Rejoice Heavenly Cave when he became a True Spirit Cultivator, so the two of them spent more time together.
Lu Ping was a bit dispirited. He gave the Longhuai Ancestor's knowledge of arrays to the two of them and said, "You two can do as you see fit. The foundation of Zhenling isn't something I can lay down by myself. I'll leave some things for the future disciples to do and let them understand how difficult it is for a senior to start a business!"
One-third of Fei Ling Island had already floated out of the sea, while two-thirds of Yan Kun Island, which was the fulcrum of the array, had already sunk. However, it would still take several years for Fei Ling Island to completely merge with Tian Ling Island.
Originally, this process could be greatly shortened. Lu Ping had once planned to use the Vast Seas and Mulberry Fields Technique with the help of Deng Tianming's array, but in the end, it was rejected by Celestial Phenomenon Laozu. Now, almost the entire North Sea was under Zhenling's control, and the eventual merger of Fei Ling Island and Tian Ling Mountain was unstoppable. It was just a matter of prolonging the time, and there was no need to hurt himself at this time.
Outside Huang Li Island, the Central Plains Lu Family had been annihilated by the combined forces of Samling, Sixth Brother Lei, and Green Fox. The Central Plains Lu Family was known as the top alchemy family in the world, and the few Dharma adepts of the Lu Family were all alchemy masters or above. Even Lu Runjian and Lu Runjia were alchemy gurus, and they carried with them two magic treasure-level alchemy furnaces and several types of fire seeds that were beneficial to alchemy. The other high-grade magic treasure-level alchemy furnaces and fire seeds were also quite plentiful.
This time, the Lu Family could be said to have sent out all their elites to obtain the Ten Thousand Poison Source Liquid in the Seven Star Cave Heaven. Almost one-third of the Lu Family's strength was gathered. Now that the entire army had been destroyed on Huang Li Island, the Lu Family had suffered a great loss, but Zhenling had gained a lot, including a large number of the Lu Family's alchemy secrets.
The Seven Star Cave Heaven had been firmly caught in the void by the formation that Celestial Fox had set up on Huang Li Island. However, in order to completely capture it, Lu Ping had to do it personally. However, the price was also extremely high. Other than the Flying Rainbow Cauldron, which was used to hold the Seven Star Cave Heaven, the Sea Bell, the Cloud Sail, the Sea Transfer Order, and the Double Swords that had followed Lu Ping for a long time, a total of five spiritual treasures, all had to be sacrificed. Even Lu Ping felt pained, but for the sake of the Mini Chiliocosm, he could not care too much.
After repelling the Yuwen Family, Celestial Phenomenon Laozu was seriously injured because he had activated the Heaven Splitting Divine Ability sealed in the Luan Daoist's seven-colored tail feather. This made Lu Ping very vexed.
Originally, Lu Ping had already discovered this problem. Therefore, although he had given the three tail feathers to Mei Tianqin, Liu Tianling, and Celestial Phenomenon Laozu in case of emergency, he still hoped that Mei Tianqin would be able to activate the Heaven Splitting Divine Ability sealed in the tail feather. Although Mei Tianqin's strength was not comparable to Celestial Phenomenon Laozu, her Luan Bloodline and the recognition of one of the tail feathers could minimize the backlash after activating the Heaven Splitting Divine Ability.
However, Celestial Phenomenon Laozu stubbornly refused. This old man had protected Zhenling all his life. When Zhenling was at its most critical moment, he was unwilling to leave Tianling Island no matter what. In the end, although the two Pure Yang experts of the Yuwen Family fell under the Heaven Splitting Divine Ability, Celestial Phenomenon Laozu was also seriously injured by the backlash. Even if he recovered in the future, his lifespan would probably be greatly reduced. As for advancing to the Pure Yang realm, there was no hope at all.
After Lu Ping returned to the North Sea, Zhenling was once again busy. Today, Zhenling's foundation was getting stronger day by day. There were no internal and external troubles, so it was the best time to expand their forces and accumulate their foundation. Since the Longhuai Ancestor had announced to the various holy lands, sects, and tribal Daemon Kings that he would destroy the Yuwen Family, Lu Ping naturally did not mind pushing the boat along with the current to take revenge for the Yuwen Family's sneak attack on Tianling Mountain.
However, before that, Lu Ping had to return to Huang Li Island first. Ever since Lu Ping returned to the North Sea, he could sense that the Dragon Statue seemed to be eager to see him, as if it had something important to tell him.
"This time, I've made a great contribution. Without my protection, Huang Li Island's great formation might not be able to block the Lu Family's Mourning Fog!"
As soon as it saw Lu Ping, the Dragon Statue first showed off its contribution.
"Cut the crap. I'm in a hurry to go to Middle Earth. Why are you so eager to see me? What's the matter? Hurry up and say it!"
"You're going out?" The Dragon Statue on the Nine Dragon Bell cheered and said, "This time, you must bring me along!"
"Are you going to say it or not?"
"Hey, don't be angry! I'll say it, I'll say it! "The Dragon Statue said mysteriously," It's the Soaring Dragon Galaxy Technique! The complete Soaring Dragon Galaxy Technique! "
