After Tian Xiang Laozu passed away, Zhenling no longer had a first generation cultivator. Jiang Tianlin and the other second generation cultivators became the first generation cultivators of Zhenling, while Lu Ping and the other third generation disciples became the second generation cultivators of the sect.
However, just five years later, Zhenling sent another bad news. Tianqin Laozu ignored Jiang Tianlin and Guo Tianshan's advice and forcibly summoned the third lightning tribulation in an attempt to advance to the Pure Yang realm. Unexpectedly, she died under the eighth lightning tribulation.
This happened very suddenly. When Lu Ping received the news and rushed over from the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, Tianqin Laozu's lightning tribulation had already reached the third lightning tribulation. At this time, even Lu Ping didn't dare to stop it and could only watch as Tianqin Laozu died under the lightning tribulation.
"The deaths of Senior Brother Tianfeng and Martial Uncle Tian Xiang were a huge blow to her. They were the two people who cared about her the most in the sect. She was never an independent person. Her intelligence, stubbornness, and pride all needed others to protect and tolerate her. In reality, she was more fragile than anyone else, and the care and tolerance only encouraged her arrogance and sensitivity. She didn't know the right way to pursue certain things and often chose to go to the extreme. Her ill-fated relationship with your Martial Uncle Jiang made her suffer a lot, so she didn't dare to reunite with Xuan Er even until her death. She was able to persist in the East Sea for so long because of Martial Uncle Tian Xiang's secret support and Senior Brother Tianfeng's frequent visits. She would've already collapsed!"
Tianqin Laozu's choice to summon the lightning tribulation at this time was completely inappropriate. It looked more like suicide. This made Lu Ping find it hard to understand Tianqin Laozu's willfulness. At the same time, he was dissatisfied that Jiang Tianlin and the other second generation cultivators couldn't stop Tianqin Laozu's tribulation.
Jiang Tianlin and Guo Tianshan naturally saw Lu Ping's dissatisfaction, but neither of them explained anything. In the end, it was Liu Tianling, who had always been at odds with Tianqin Laozu, who stood out.
Liu Tianling was Lu Ping's teacher. Before Lu Ping condensed his Dharma, she had always been Lu Ping's biggest supporter and protector in the sect. She was also the person Lu Ping trusted the most in the sect. Lu Ping had to listen to her!
"Since she has already made up her mind, unless you personally imprison her, even if you stop her today, she will still summon the Thunder Tribulation tomorrow. You can't stop her!"
In terms of understanding of Tianqin Laozu, Liu Tianling, who was also a woman, probably understood her feelings even better.
"The main reason is that Senior Brother Tianfeng's death was too great of a blow to her!"
Qu Tiancheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Everyone can see Senior Brother Tianfeng's affection for Senior Sister Tianqin, but there is always a barrier in Senior Sister Tianqin's heart that she can't get over, and the two of them can't get together."
"Senior Brother Tianfeng fell under the second Thunder Tribulation, and this is probably one of the reasons. Senior Sister Tianqin originally felt guilty towards Senior Brother Tianfeng, and this time, she said it was suicide, but I think it was more like dying for love!"
When Lu Ping heard this, he didn't want to listen to the grievances of the previous generation anymore. These things couldn't be said to be right or wrong.
When returning to the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, Lu Ping specially went to see his little junior sister, Jiang Tianxuan. Now, his little junior sister was in seclusion to prepare for the first Thunder Tribulation. Although she had heard about Tianqin Laozu's death, she clearly didn't know that Tianqin Laozu was her birth mother.
Looking at the innocent and carefree Jiang Tianxuan, Lu Ping sighed in his heart. Perhaps letting his little junior sister never know these secrets and live a carefree life was the best choice. Perhaps this was the reason why Uncle-Master Tianqin still didn't want to acknowledge her own daughter!
After a cultivator reached the Dharma stage, the path of cultivation was either life or death. This was the fate of a cultivator. Even Taiping Laozu, who was now a True Spirit Adept, couldn't escape this rule. Tianqin Laozu's death from the Thunder Tribulation was a pity, but it wasn't a disaster.
At least for Zhenling now, a complete system had been established, and the number of cultivators at each stage was becoming more and more reasonable. He had already prepared for the worst case scenario of every Dharma adept dying from the Thunder Tribulation.
The deaths of Tianfeng, Tianxiang, and Tianqin made Lu Ping suddenly realize that he would probably encounter such life-or-death situations often in the future.
After Tianqin Laozu's death, Lu Ping's second disciple, Tian Yue, who had already become a Grandmaster of alchemy, naturally took over the Elixir Pavilion.
In these years, Lu Ping rarely made alchemy. Even if he did make a few batches of alchemy, they were all treasures that were passed down to future generations.
Tianqin Laozu, on the other hand, had begun to slack off after Tianfeng Laozu's death. Tian Yue, who had become a Dharma adept, was in charge of most of the matters. Now that he was in charge of the Elixir Pavilion, it was just a transfer of his position.
Six years later, Sky Fox gave birth to another boy for Lu Ping. He named him Lu Chenjing, and he was the fourth child.
At this time, his twin siblings, Lu Chenzhang and Lu Chenyu, who were born to him by Sky Fox, had both become Dharma Adepts. They were the top geniuses of the younger generation in Zhen Ling Sect. His daughter, Lu Chenyao, who was born to him by Jiang Tianying, was already a late Core Forging adept. She was also an outstanding figure in Zhen Ling Sect.
Eight years later, Jiang Tianying survived the second Thunder Tribulation and advanced to the late Dharma stage. She became the fifth adept of the second generation of Zhenling to reach the late Dharma stage.
But seven years later, Tian Yong was unable to withstand the ninth Thunder Tribulation and died. Lu Ping was very sad. In fact, Tian Yong was not the first person in Lu Ping's generation to die from the Thunder Tribulation.
In the end, Tian Yong was still a little anxious. Putting aside Lu Ping and Yin Tianchu, Liu Tianyuan, Ji Tianxuan, Jiang Tianying, and the others all advanced to the late Dharma stage before him. This made Tian Yong, who was proud and proud, a little anxious.
From Lu Ping's point of view, if Tian Yong could calm down and accumulate for 50 years, he might be able to withstand the last Thunder Tribulation.
The death of his old friend made Lu Ping very sad.
In Zhenling, the number of Dharma adepts who advanced to the Dharma stage in Lu Ping's generation was like a blowout. But after they advanced to the Dharma stage, most of them stopped at the early Dharma stage and had already exhausted their potential. But there were also people who had died before Tian Yong, under the first Thunder Tribulation when they advanced to the mid Dharma stage.
After Tian Yong died under the second Thunder Tribulation, many Dharma adepts who had been tempted by the Thunder Tribulation stopped. But the truly capable adepts were still not afraid of the power of the Thunder Tribulation and were brave enough to take the next step on the road to immortality.
Six years later, news came from the central plains that Green Fox had successfully passed the second Thunder Tribulation. Now, like Lei Di, she was an outer elder of Zhenling and was traveling around the world, keeping an eye on the overall situation of the training world.
Five years later, Jiang Tianxuan had successfully advanced to the mid Dharma stage. Another three years later, with Lu Ping's help, Sky Fox had also passed the first Thunder Tribulation. But from Lu Ping's point of view, Sky Fox had probably reached the point where his potential had been exhausted. Unless he had a special opportunity, it would be difficult for him to advance any further.
Another seven years later, Du Tianluo passed the first Thunder Tribulation and became the second third generation adept in Zhenling after Wang Tianqi to reach the mid Dharma stage.
In the next six years, nothing major happened in Zhenling, so another fifty years passed. There were only a hundred and fifty years left before the 500-year promise made by the Longhuai Ancestor.
Time continued to pass, and soon, fifty years had passed. There were only a hundred years left before the promise to gather in the northern ice plains.
In these fifty years, Qi Tiancai had gathered her courage and successfully advanced to the late Dharma stage. Apart from Jiang Tianying, the rest of the Zhenling adepts had all died during the second Thunder Tribulation.
Soon after, Samling and Lu Qin-er, who had been with Lu Ping the longest, had passed the second Thunder Tribulation and advanced to the late Dharma stage.
After that, Yan Wujiu and some of the adepts of the Fire Phoenix tribe plotted together with Lu Ping's personal intervention and Zhenling's forceful intervention, Lu Qin-er returned to the Fire Phoenix tribe and began to fight for the position of the tribe leader. For this, Lu Qin-er even begged Samling to accompany her to the East Sea to help her fight for the position of tribe leader.
In addition, Samling and the other adepts were already a force to be reckoned with. With Yan Wujiu and Zhenling's cooperation, Lu Qin-er secured the position of tribe leader after killing a few of the Fire Phoenix tribe's diehard members.
After that, Lu Ping sent a letter to the East Sea training community, saying that the Fire Phoenix tribe was under Zhenling's protection and that any hostility towards the Fire Phoenix tribe could be seen as a provocation to Zhenling.
Due to the Fire Phoenix Clan's surrender, Zhen Ling Sect's influence in the Eastern Sea's cultivation world had further increased. At the same time, the Fire Phoenix Clan had also avoided the path of decline due to losing the protection of Pure Yang cultivators and internal strife.
At the last moment of these fifty years, Zhenling once again welcomed a joyous event: Tian Cheng Laozu had advanced to the Pure Yang stage!
Originally, with Tian Cheng Laozu's potential, he was at most comparable to Guo Tianshan and Liang Tianfeng among the "Three Truths and Four Spirits". In addition, he had already suffered an injury that had damaged his original aura, so he originally had no chance of becoming a Pure Yang.
However, in order to heal his injury, Lu Ping had once refined a Fire Source Elixir that was made from a leaf of the Samling Five Elements Leaf.
Because of this Fire Source Elixir, not only had Tian Cheng Laozu's injury recovered, but it had also improved his potential. Even his level of practice had improved by leaps and bounds. Now, he had become Zhenling's fourth Pure Yang adept after Lu Ping, Yin Tianchu, and Jiang Tianlin. Naturally, it was worth celebrating by the whole of Zhenling.
Now that Zhenling's status had risen, its power had also increased, and its knowledge had also increased. To reach the point where it wanted to celebrate, it could only be achieved when a Pure Yang adept appeared.
Thinking back to the past in the North Sea, as long as a sect had a Dharma adept, it was worth celebrating. There was even a Dharma Assembly, and all the sects would come to congratulate them.
Now that Zhenling had three generations of adepts who had reached the Dharma stage, the most it could do was to gather a few close friends and have some fun. What right did it have to involve so many people? Even in Zhenling, at most, he would only receive a few words of praise. At most, he would be seen by Taiping Laozu and called to the Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven to listen to the old man's lecture. After he came out, it would be enough for him to show off in front of his fellow disciples.
Today, Zhenling had gathered one True Spirit adept, three Pure Yang adepts, and six Grand Adepts. Although this level of power was still weak compared to the true foundation of a holy land, it had truly established the structure of a holy land.
