The tunnel formation that was about to collapse, part of the original net was damaged, and the remaining innate original energy was drifting in all directions …
After dispersing the Twelve Genchen Formation, Lu Ping saw a scene of devastation in front of him. Although Peng Daoren and Taoist Gui were killed one after another, and most of the scattered innate original energy was under Lu Ping's control, there was still a small amount of original energy that might scatter in the cultivation world as the tunnel formation was activated. Once an ordinary cultivator came into contact with a strand of original energy, his cultivation would be completely dissolved.
On the other hand, if Daoist Peng couldn't repair the net of essence that was torn by releasing his innate essence energy in time, the grand formation that concealed this world would inevitably fail, exposing this newborn world to the boundless starry sky. How could the few cultivators born in this world who had just condensed their true spirits resist the covetous eyes of the powerful beings in the boundless starry sky?
Lu Ping looked up at the infinite starry sky behind the broken original net. At this moment, there was no one in this world who could stop him from pursuing the path of immortality. As long as he took one step forward, he would be able to fulfill the wish of this world's cultivators, which had been repeatedly pursued since the beginning of the world, but had never been able to achieve it.
But now, with such a rotten scene, if Lu Ping really stood aside and did nothing, this world would inevitably once again be under the control of the experts in the starry sky who heard the news, and the creatures in this world would probably once again be domesticated like the Seventh Patriarch, including his wife, children, sects, teachers, and friends.
But if he wanted to repair the original net, restrain the innate original energy, and delay Lu Ping from leaving this world, it was a small matter. What was more frightening was that even with Lu Ping's current strength of the Nine Realms, he was not sure that he could really clean up the current situation.
Although Lu Ping had activated the Nine Realms, in fact, he had only cultivated the water original energy to perfection. Strictly speaking, he was still only a Level One True Spirit cultivator. Although his current strength could be regarded as one of the top Level One True Spirit cultivators in the infinite starry sky, his strength was still far from that of the Seventh Patriarch, who had fought in the tunnel formation at the beginning of the world.
Peng Daoren could stabilize the original net and suppress the innate original energy with his true spirit body because he was a Level Seven True Spirit cultivator. Even so, after 30,000 years, when he finally rebuilt his body with great difficulty, he only had the strength of Level One True Spirit cultivator.
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened his palm. Twelve grape-sized multicolored light beads were flying irregularly on a petite white jade lotus.
Lu Ping still seemed to be worried. The Innate Dragon Bead flew out of the True Spirit Dragon's mouth and directly fell into the small Genchen Formation in his palm. Then, the True Spirit Dragon's body continued to shrink, and it rushed into the formation after the Dragon Bead.
The formation in his palm trembled, and as the Dragon Bead rotated in the formation, a trace of multicolored light peeled off from one of the Genchen Beads. Under the control of Lu Ping's Divine Sense, the two broken threads of the original net were slowly connected.
Every time a trace of multicolored light peeled off from the Genchen Bead, Lu Ping could feel that the innate original energy he had absorbed was weakened a little. The Genchen Bead, which had been promoted to an innate spiritual treasure, naturally fell a little.
Lu Ping could only extend his Divine Sense as far as possible into the entire tunnel formation, trying to gather some of the scattered and thin innate original energy to make up for his loss. However, this move had little effect.
"Even if you can repair the original net like this, what can you do? The tunnel formation is bound to collapse. Once you leave, the innate original energy will lose its suppression, and it will definitely spread to the entire world of cultivation. When that happens, the harm it will cause will be much more serious than the Disaster of Mara. "
The sudden words did not surprise Lu Ping at all. It was as if Lu Ping had already expected that there were still people alive in the tunnel formation.
"So what? At the very least, it's much better than exposing this world to the infinite starry sky. No other experts from the starry sky will descend upon this world, and I will not raise the living beings of this world like livestock, nor will I seal off the passage to the starry sky in search of longevity. "
Lu Ping had already repaired most of the damaged original net in front of him, but the price he paid was that he had lost nearly half of the innate original energy he had absorbed.
Lu Ping looked at the wood serpent's truesoul, which had lost its physical body and was only barely surviving with its original energy essence. "What do you think, Fellow Daoist Long Huai?"
The Longhuai Ancestor had been easily injured by Peng Daoren's truesoul. Under the assimilation and erosion of the innate original energy, the Longhuai Ancestor had no choice but to abandon its physical body and live on as a truesoul for the time being. Fortunately, Lu Ping had suddenly launched an attack at that time, using the Twelve Genchen Formation to trap and kill the two Sky Splitters Laozu and taking control of most of the innate original energy. This allowed the Longhuai Ancestor's truesoul to escape the continuous erosion of the innate original energy.
The Longhuai Ancestor smiled sadly and said, "Fellow Daoist, it's naturally a blessing for this world to have such a broad-minded mind. It's a pity that the Old Man was so conceited and arrogant that he thought he could lead the people of this world to open a path to immortality. I'm afraid that Lu Xiaoyou has been secretly laughing at me for a long time …"
Lu Ping raised his hand and interrupted the Longhuai Ancestor. He said frankly, "Fellow Daoist, don't belittle yourself. Although I've had some fortuitous encounters, before coming to this channel formation, I'm far inferior to fellow Daoist. I have great respect for what you've done. As for the fact that we were able to defeat the strong enemy in the end, it's all thanks to fellow Daoist and the others risking their lives to kill us. That Peng Daoren and Taoist Gui schemed against each other and treated us like ants. It's only because of our arrogance that I got lucky …"
Despite Lu Ping's humble persuasion, the Longhuai Ancestor still couldn't get over it. Lu Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you need me to do anything else?"
The Longhuai Ancestor took a deep look at Lu Ping and said, "Fellow Daoist, you don't have to pretend that you don't know anything. By now, what else can the Old Man and the others do other than beg for their lives?"
Lu Ping's expression didn't change at all, as if he had already expected this. He said doubtfully, "I've sensed the weak aura of the Butterfly Fairy before …"
The True Spirit Body of the Longhuai Ancestor, which was completely condensed from the source, was unexpectedly able to express an expression of great fortune. He said, "I think it's because the two Sky Creator Laozu schemed against each other and had no time to take care of each other. That's why the Butterfly Fairy's True Spirit managed to preserve a strand of its source. However, I still need fellow Daoist to help me!"
Lu Ping nodded calmly and said, "I'll do my best. However, I wonder if fellow Daoist Xiao Baiyu's True Spirit still has a strand of True Spirit?"
… …
Ever since the eighteen True Spirit Cultivators had gathered in the Northern Ice Field to attack the great formation, the entire cultivation world had sunk into an unprecedented peace. It could be said that ever since the Seventh Patriarch had opened the sky, the entire cultivation world had never been so united for a single goal.
However, for cultivators who had the heart to advance in their lives, most of their gazes were placed on the sects that had True Spirit inheritances. They were filled with anticipation and apprehension as they waited for the news from these sects.
The eighteen True Spirits had gathered in the Northern Ice Field. Other than a few rogue cultivators with unknown backgrounds, the rest of them had left behind their soul lamps in their respective sects and clans, guarded by the highest level cultivators in their respective sects and clans.
However, what most of the cultivators in the cultivation world did not know was that the top cultivators of the sects and clans that the True Spirit Cultivators belonged to had already reached a tacit understanding in private: The great formation would definitely be broken through, the only difference was the amount of casualties!
In other words, regardless of whether the great formation could be broken through by the eighteen True Spirit Cultivators or not, the sects and clans that these True Spirit Cultivators belonged to would "report the good news" to the entire cultivation world: After the life and death struggle of the True Spirit Cultivators, the great formation had finally been broken through and the path to immortality was no longer blocked!
If the soul lamps of the True Spirit Cultivators that went to the Northern Ice Field were all extinguished and the entire cultivation world knew about it, the so-called path to immortality would become an illusion. The various large sects and clans that controlled this world could not imagine the scene of the entire cultivation world collapsing at that time, so they could only prepare to deceive the entire cultivation world.
And these sects and clans were naturally prepared to help each other, in case the situation deteriorated to the point where it could not be salvaged.
The eighteen True Spirit Cultivators entered the great formation at the same time and the soul lamps that were left behind dimmed, before lighting up again. This made the high level cultivator's heart jump into his throat before fiercely falling back down.
The peak human and demon races did not hesitate to spend large amounts of resources to create the fastest way to transmit information. In just the time it takes to make a cup of tea, there was information from the Tenma people, Lingyun Valley, Skyward Pavilion, Wuxing School, Crystal Palace, Peacock royalty, and the Multicolored Tiger Clan that was sent to these sects and powers. Seven soul lamps extinguished, this meant that seven True Spirit Cultivators had fallen in a short period of time after the great formation was opened.
Seven True Spirit Cultivators!
Although the various large sects and clans were already prepared for their True Spirit Cultivators to fall, the scene of seven True Spirit Cultivators falling in one fell swoop still gave everyone an unprecedented shock.
Keep it a secret!
This was the first reaction of the sects and clans that the eighteen True Spirit Cultivators belonged to. Even facing the anxious questions of the entire cultivation world, they were already prepared to announce that everything was going smoothly.
However, at this time, there were several cultivators in the Central Plains who claimed to be a disciple of a rogue cultivator, Yao Xian Laozu, who went to the great formation. They claimed that their master's soul lamp had extinguished after entering the great formation.
When the news spread, it immediately caused panic in the nearby cultivation world, and as the news spread, this kind of panic was bound to spread far and wide. There were even quite a few cultivators who heard the news, and either went to find these rogue cultivators to seek confirmation, or flew towards the Holy Land Sects in an attempt to verify the existence of the other True Spirit Cultivator s.
Unexpectedly, not long after this news spread, Pure Yang Cultivators from the Purple Sun Palace, Wuxing School, Lingyun Valley, and the Multicolored Tiger Clan came to encircle and annihilate them. Although these Yao Xian Laozu's disciples were quite strong, facing the joint attacks of the Holy Lands and Tribes, they were quickly destroyed.
Following that, facing the inquiries of the various forces in the cultivation world, the various large sects and tribes all came out to clarify, proving that their True Spirit Laozu's soul lamp was still burning and that the cultivation world should not be used by people with ulterior motives.
Just as Zhenling, Skyrend, and the other new sects and tribes calmed the panicking cultivation world, the bad news of the extinguished soul lamps of the Profound Sky Sect, Green Sea Snakes, and Purple Sun Palace came. Although these sects and tribes could still maintain stability on the surface, their powerful cultivators were already making their final plans.
With the fall of Wise Ape, among the human and demon forces in the world, only the Spiritual Demon Clan's Longhuai Ancestor, Ba Gui Clan's Xiang Laozu, Insect Clan's Butterfly Fairy, Skyrend's Xiao Baiyu, and Zhenling's Lu Taiping's Soul Lamps were still burning. At this time, all the hopes of this world had fallen on these five True Spirit Cultivators.
At this time, even Lu Ping did not expect that Xiao Baiyu still had a trace of his True Spirit. After his physical body was heavily injured by Peng Daoren, it had been damaged by the successive battles between the two sides. The Roc True Spirit's essence could not stop the subsequent destruction of the Innate Origin Qi. However, at the last moment, Xiao Baiyu had successfully escaped a trace of his True Spirit into his natal flying sword spiritual treasure.
The quality of his natal flying sword itself was extraordinary. It was refined from a broken sword abandoned by Jiao Daoren when he opened up the East Sea cultivation world. Although it was almost destroyed by the erosion of the Innate Origin Qi, it still retained the last trace of Xiao Baiyu's True Spirit.
Lu Ping nourished the broken flying sword in his hand with his own essence, maintaining the last trace of Xiao Baiyu's True Spirit. He said to the Wood Dragon True Spirit and the Butterfly Fairy Maiden, who could barely maintain a true spirit shadow but could not speak, "I hope you two have thought it through. If this is the case, the three of you together with Fellow Daoist Xiao are no match for Peng Daoren. Although you can live for a thousand years, you will be trapped in this world for a thousand years without any progress in your cultivation. And after a thousand years, I don't know if I can step into the realm of immortality. If there is no Immortal God to save you, the three of you can only sit and wait to be assimilated by the Origin Qi of this world, which is no different from dying!"
The Butterfly True Spirit could not speak, she could only bow to Lu Ping and plead. The Longhuai Ancestor smiled bitterly and said, "Our bodies were destroyed, and the Origin Qi of our True Spirits were damaged. We are already people who are about to die. After a thousand years, if Fellow Daoist Xiao can step into the path of immortality and rebuild our bodies, we will have the chance to pursue immortality again. That would be a great blessing. If not, we will be lucky to live for a thousand years."
Lu Ping nodded and said, "Very well. Although I have collected most of the Innate Origin Qi, the Net of Origin has been damaged. Although it has been repaired, it will be difficult to guarantee that it will not be damaged again after a long time. Furthermore, the passage formation has been opened. Before there is an expert who can protect this world, in order to prevent the future people from revealing the location of this world, we need someone who can protect the Origin Qi of this world at all times. At the same time, we need to inform the future people of these secrets."
The Longhuai Ancestor nodded and said, "In that case, many thanks, Fellow Daoist Xiao!"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "It's nothing. If I am lucky enough to step into the Divine Spirit Realm within a thousand years, the three of you will be nurtured by the Origin Qi for a thousand years. Once your bodies are rebuilt, your cultivation will increase greatly! However, if I don't live forever, it will be difficult for me to return. Zhenling, please take care of it for me! "
The Longhuai Ancestor said, "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Xiao. I promise on behalf of the other two Daoists that Zhenling will prosper for a thousand years!"
…
The passage formation was collapsing. The few True Spirit Cultivators who stayed behind to guard this world could clearly feel the drastic changes coming from the Northern Ice Fields. For a moment, these True Spirit Cultivators felt as if a shackle that they had never felt before had suddenly been released. Everyone felt relaxed for no reason. Even the True Spirits in the Core Space condensed their Origin Qi a little faster, and the speed at which they condensed their Origin Qi was still increasing.
Everyone looked towards the distant north in unison. They had a happy thought in their hearts. Could it be that the natural moat that sealed this world had finally been broken through?
Just as many sects and clans were hesitating whether they should send their cultivators to the Northern Ice Fields to investigate, a piece of news from the Southern Sea instantly dropped everyone's enthusiasm to rock bottom.
Ba Gui Xiang Laozu's soul lamp had been extinguished!
Did they fail?
Many high level cultivators were filled with doubt again. However, they immediately comforted themselves. There were still four people alive, so there was still hope. However, everyone's confidence was constantly being eroded.
… …
The Twelve Genchen Formation was activated once again. The five-coloured rays of light once again drew out the Web of Origins. However, they were not repairing it this time. Instead, they pierced the threads of the Web of Origins through Long Huai and Butterfly Fairy's true bodies, as well as Xiao Baiyu's remaining True Spirit.
Xiao Baiyu's Origin Qi was the first to merge with the world's natural source through the Web of Origins. Following that, Fairy Butterfly's illusory True Spirit gradually shrank until it was completely absorbed into the natural source of the world.
The Longhuai Ancestor's Wood Serpent True Spirit circled in the air. It seemed like it wanted to say something, but was hesitant.
Lu Ping said in surprise, "Do you still have something to say?"
The Longhuai Ancestor looked at Lu Ping and said, "Are you really not a being of this world? Are you really a descendant of the True Dragon? A descendant of the Dragon? "
Lu Ping clapped his hands and laughed. "It's true that I'm a descendant of the Dragon, but I'm also a being of this world. I've stepped into the Infinite Starry Sky not only to pursue the path of immortality, but also to find some secrets that have happened to me!"
The Longhuai Ancestor was still confused, but it was already too late to ask. His True Spirit merged with this world, and the Web of Origins was rewoven. However, it left behind a spatial door that allowed one to exit but not to enter. It led directly to the Infinite Starry Sky outside this world.
Just as he was about to take a step out of this world, Lu Ping suddenly turned back to look at this world. There was a hint of reluctance in his blurry eyes. He suddenly waved his sleeves, and an item fell into this world. Then, without looking back, Lu Ping turned and stepped into the Infinite Starry Sky.
…
Just as the entire world of cultivation was enveloped in an uneasy atmosphere, in the northernmost part of the Northern Ice Plains, a tragic light suddenly cut through the sky. As the living beings in this world watched, the light crossed the Northern Ice Plains, passed through the Middle-earth, and directly fell toward the Northern Sea.
Such a movement had naturally alarmed the True Spirit Cultivator Taichu Laozu, who was guarding Lu Ping's soul lamp in Zhenling's Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven.
However, before Taichu Laozu could leave the Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven, the light had already arrived in the sky above Zhenling's sect. Then, it ignored Zhenling's sect-protecting formation that could withstand a True Spirit Cultivator's attack and directly entered the Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven.
Several rays of light filled with dense Pure Yang Qi instantly rose from Tianling Mountain. They chased after the rays of light and entered the Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven. They saw a small person that was a foot tall, similar to Taiping Laozu, chatting happily with Taichu Laozu. It was Lu Ping's avatar, Lu Xiaoping, who had been severely injured by Peng Daoren previously.
Seeing that many powerful cultivators of Zhenling had gathered in the Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven, the small person opened his mouth and yawned, saying, "That's how it is. You can tell them yourself. I was seriously injured this time. Although Master injected a lot of Origin Qi into me, it will probably take two to three hundred years for me to fully recover. However, once I recover, I will also step into the True Spirit Realm. In the future, I will guard Zhenling until Master enjoys longevity and returns to this world!"
After saying that, a ray of light rose around Lu Xiaoping and he escaped into the depths of the Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven. The pure Yang cultivators of Zhenling could not even see his figure with their eyes.
When they turned to look at Taichu Laozu with questioning eyes, they saw that he was holding a burning soul lamp in his hand and said with joy, "Everyone, the path to longevity beyond the infinite starry sky has opened!"
…
Time passed slowly, and a thousand years passed in a flash. A mysterious Divine Dragon Tribe member who had wandered outside had made a name for himself in the infinite starry sky in the past thousand years. Until a hundred years ago, this cultivator, who was called "Purple Gold Dragon Sword" by the powerhouses in the infinite starry sky, cultivated nine realms at the same time and gave birth to the innate. He broke through the Divine Spirit Realm in one fell swoop and achieved the Divine Dragon Dao Body. He enjoyed the position of longevity and shocked the starry sky. This "Purple Gold Dragon Sword" Lu Taiping revealed that he came from a world that was born less than thirty thousand years ago!
For a thousand years, the number of True Spirit Cultivators that came from this world had reached more than twenty. However, these True Spirit Cultivators had always kept the secret of their origins. It was not until Lu Taiping Laozu achieved longevity and had the qualifications to protect this world that this newly born world gradually appeared in the eyes of the powerhouses in the starry sky.
After a thousand years, Zhenling was still prosperous. Lu Ping's descendants had formed a family that was attached to Zhenling and was famous in the entire cultivation world. However, his two wives did not step into the True Spirit Realm and eventually passed away. His four children all became famous in the cultivation world. Two of them successfully passed through the third lightning tribulation and became Pure Yang, but in the end, only the eldest son became a True Spirit Dragon.
Most of the people he knew back then had died, and only a few people successfully left this world. In a trance, this world suddenly became strange to Lu Ping.
"In the end, I don't belong here anymore!" Lu Ping could not help but sigh.
Behind him, Longhuai Ancestor, who had already reconstructed his body, heard this and laughed, "But the living beings in this world have always been proud of you!"
Lu Ping did not comment, but just said, "Let's go, this place belongs to the past, the exciting things are always in the future!"
