The density of the spiritual energy in the Seven Star Skies was equivalent to a large spirit vein. However, in the past tens of thousands of years, no one had been able to find the spirit vein in the Seven Star Skies.
However, every time the Seven Star Skies opened, it was a rare opportunity for itinerant cultivators who were at the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm and about to step into the Core Forging Realm, as well as cultivators from the smaller forces in the North Sea.
Unfortunately, the Seven Star Skies only opened for three months each time. Even so, it still attracted a large number of cultivators. Therefore, every time the Seven Star Skies closed, a new batch of Core Forging Enlightened Masters would be born in the North Sea.
Lu Ping didn't expect to witness the birth of a Core Forging Enlightened Master. What made Lu Ping even happier was that this also brought him an opportunity.
Every time a cultivator had a breakthrough in their cultivation, the spiritual energy whirlpool produced by the breakthrough would often gather a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. This spiritual energy was not only used to support the cultivator's breakthrough, but it was also used to strengthen the cultivator's foundation after the breakthrough.
However, the special condition of the Seven Star Skies was that the moment the cultivator broke through to the Core Forging Realm, they would be teleported back to the North Sea. This caused the spiritual energy gathered to be useless and could only slowly dissipate.
Lu Ping wanted to make use of this period of time before the spiritual energy dissipated to cultivate.
Lu Ping went to the cave on the opposite side of the mountain. He took out an array disc and placed it in the middle of the cave. Then, he placed eight small flags on the ground according to their positions. He condensed a technique, and the cave on the mountainside disappeared. Lu Ping opened the spirit beast pouch and saw that the Blue Phoenix and the Green Sea Snake were still asleep. Fortunately, the Blue Phoenix's aura had stabilized, so it should wake up soon.
Without a choice, Lu Ping could only bring Dabao and Dagui out again and warned them to guard the cave.
Lu Ping sat on the high-grade spirit-gathering praying mat and swallowed a Mid Blood Condensation Blood Spirit Pellet. Then, he held a mid-grade spirit stone in each hand and circulated the [North Sea Wave Listening Scripture] with all his might.
Lu Ping's blood flowed according to the North Sea Wave Listening Technique. It was like the waves of the sea rising and falling in Lu Ping's body. A psychic jade pendant on Lu Ping's waist emitted a cloud of purple mist that enveloped Lu Ping. The spiritual energy in the cave was as dense as a giant spirit vein, like a moth flying into a flame. It gathered towards Lu Ping and was absorbed bit by bit by Lu Ping. Along with his blood, the spiritual energy returned to his heart and gathered into the six Condensed Blood Pearls.
After all, Lu Ping wasn't a Core Forging Enlightened Master. He couldn't prevent the spiritual energy from dispersing and convert it all into cultivation. Three days later, the spiritual energy in the cave finally became the same as the outside world. Lu Ping woke up from his cultivation and felt the rich arcane energy in his body seeping into his flesh and blood. After cleansing his flesh and blood, the remaining arcane energy dispersed from all parts of his body, causing Lu Ping's entire body to be enveloped by Essence Qi Wolf Smoke.
This was the true peak of the Sixth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm!
Lu Ping took out a jade crystal box from his storage ring. There were seven large Condensed Blood Pearls inside. These were the pearls Lu Ping had obtained after killing the Primordial Crocodile. Lu Ping had originally planned to break through to the Seventh Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm in one go. However, Dabao had already warned Lu Ping twice that this place had already attracted the attention of others. In the past three days, Dabao had seen more than three groups of human and demonic cultivators roaming the area.
Lu Ping's expression was solemn. After putting Dabao into the spirit beast pouch, he used his powerful divine sense to scan the surroundings of the cave. After confirming that no one was watching, he abruptly opened the sealed cave and destroyed the illusion array. The magic cloud flew close to the ground and flew in a certain direction.
Lu Ping's sudden appearance immediately attracted the attention of the nearby cultivators who had rushed over to investigate. A group of five cultivators, led by the Water Mist Pavilion's He Lixin, who Lu Ping had met before, chased after Lu Ping.
Another group of cultivators, which Lu Ping couldn't identify, was about seven or eight people. They rushed over from the direction Lu Ping was running in, intending to intercept Lu Ping halfway.
The third group of cultivators was the closest to Lu Ping, and they had the opportunity to stop Lu Ping. However, the leader of the group was a young man dressed in a golden brocade robe. He watched with interest as Lu Ping escaped from their side. He didn't make a move to stop Lu Ping.
When Lu Ping flew past them, he discovered that the seven or eight cultivators behind the young man were all Late Blood Condensation Realm demonic cultivators who were half-step into the Blood Condensation Realm. However, there wasn't a single trace of demonic cultivator on the young man's body. If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Ping knew that the Seven Star Sky didn't accept Core Forging Realm cultivators, Lu Ping would definitely think that the young man was a Core Forging Realm demonic cultivator.
Lu Ping's hair stood on end when he saw the young man's deep gaze. He didn't dare to stop for even a second. He controlled the Magic Cloud Circle with all his might. Just as he was about to shake off the two groups of people chasing after him, the young man suddenly waved his hand. A sword light flashed and chased after Lu Ping.
The moment the sword light shot out, it transformed. One sword light split into two, then four, then eight. By the time the total number of sword lights reached 128, the sword light had already surpassed the cultivators from Shui Yan Pavilion and the other two groups of cultivators chasing after Lu Ping.
When there were 512 sword lights, the sword light finally stopped increasing. However, more than 500 sword lights had already caught up to Lu Ping. At this moment, Lu Ping felt as though he had fallen into a sea of swords and encountered a torrential rain of swords.
Complex Sword Practice! This was an expert who had reached the Sword Intent Realm!
Lu Ping bellowed. On the brink of life and death, Lu Ping erupted with all his strength to fight for his life.
The Soaring Wing Swords danced in unison, each sending out sixty-four sword rays to form two sword light mirrors in front of Lu Ping. Then, a series of metallic clanging noises rang out. The Soaring Wing Swords wailed in pain and shattered into dozens of pieces that fell to the ground.
Lu Ping had refined the Soaring Wing Sword for the longest time. When the Soaring Wing Sword was shattered, Lu Ping felt a sharp pain in his divine sense. His chest felt as though it had received a heavy blow. The magic power in his body was insufficient. There was a sweet taste in his throat that was forcefully suppressed by Lu Ping.
Lu Ping did not have the time to check his wounds. He swung the Azure Sword and another 64 cyan-coloured sword lights spread out. In the face of this casual attack from the Young Master in Embroidered Garments, the incomparably majestic Azure Sword became like a firefly within the bright moon. In the blink of an eye, it was engulfed by the sea of swords. Thankfully, the Azure Sword was a top-grade Magic artefact and it was not damaged.
A wave of water surged forward to collide against the sea of swords. Lu Ping directed the crystal bowl to create three huge waves in a row. However, they were all suppressed by the sea of swords.
The sea of swords did not give Lu Ping any more time. The whistling sword rain dispersed the 'cloudy sky' above Lu Ping's head and cut the clothes on Lu Ping's body, revealing the golden-yellow inner armour.
The surface of the inner armour was immediately covered with starry marks. However, in the end, it did not penetrate the last layer of protection. However, how could a swordsmanship at the level of sword intent be so easily blocked?
Lu Ping could no longer endure the mouthful of blood. The Auspicious Cloud was immediately dyed blood red. Lu Ping relied on the impact of the sea of swords to turn this mouthful of blood into the Blood Escape Technique. The Auspicious Cloud drew a bright red blood light in the sky and disappeared among the mountains.
The Young Master in Embroidered Garments exclaimed, "You can actually take a sword from this Young Master and not die. It's rare!"
A burly man with a long nose behind him said in a low and muffled voice, "Young Master, do you want your subordinates to chase after him and end him?"
The Young Master in Embroidered Garments shook his head and said, "No need. We still have important matters to attend to. This person is rather interesting. Leave him for this Young Master to practice his swordsmanship in the future."
The people of the Water Mist Pavilion had seen that Lu Ping had been seriously injured by the Young Master in Embroidered Garments. They were originally afraid of the strength of the Young Master in Embroidered Garments. However, they saw that the Young Master in Embroidered Garments had turned around and swaggered away with a group of demon cultivators.
He Lixin was overjoyed. She secretly thought that Lu Ping had already been seriously injured by the Young Master in Embroidered Garments. Even if he used the Blood Escape Technique to escape, he wouldn't have any spare strength to escape after he landed. As long as she could capture this person, not only would she be able to take revenge for her Junior Brother Qiu Liming, but she might also be able to find out the whereabouts of that silly boy from the Liao Clan. In this way, she would have the opportunity to obtain the recipe of the Heart Dissolving Pill. Once she presented the recipe to the Sect, she would certainly receive a step more attention from the Sect. Advancing to the Core Forging Stage would be a cinch.
He Lixin and the others quickly found the spot where Lu Ping had landed after using the Blood Escape Technique. The five of them spread out and searched for traces of Lu Ping.
After a short while, when the five of them gathered together again, no one had found any traces of Lu Ping. The five of them looked at each other in dismay. He Lixin sighed and said, "Forget it. That red-faced cultivator is very strange. He was able to kill Junior Brother Qiu Liming with his Sixth Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivation. Who knows if he has some kind of life-saving secret technique? Currently, the Seven Star Skies is a chaotic place. Not only did Xuan Ling Sect and Zhenling Sect send their experts to fight for the few treasures that were left behind in the Seven Star Skies, but the Overflowing Oceans Sect is also eager to see the world plunged into chaos. The war between the demon race and the human race is on the verge of breaking out. We should first complete the few missions that our sect has assigned to us. "
The other four nodded in agreement. Junior Sister Zhang asked, "Senior Sister, do you know what treasure Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect are fighting for? Is our Shui Yan Pavilion just going to sit back and watch them fight?"
He Lixin replied, "Of course not. In fact, our sect's seniors have told us that we can choose the right time to intervene in the battle between the two sects and reap the benefits. However, our priority right now is to find that Liao Family brat and get our hands on the Heart Dissolving Pill. The other Liao Family disciples that entered the Seven Star Skies are mostly collateral relatives. It's impossible for them to obtain this pill recipe."
Junior Sister Zhang thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, why don't we head straight to the Golden Fallen Canyon? According to our sect's information, every time the Seven Star Skies opens, the Liao Family's cultivators will go to the Golden Fallen Canyon to collect spiritual herbs. I think it's because there are rare spiritual herbs that can be used to refine the Heart Dissolving Pill there."
He Lixin nodded. "That's right. However, the Golden Fallen Canyon doesn't have any sentient demonic beasts or poisonous beasts. Rumor has it that three hundred years ago, the Liao Family's Patriarch, Liao Hu's grandfather, Alchemy Grandmaster Liao Ding, suppressed his Core Forging Stage cultivation and went deep into the Golden Fallen Canyon. However, he didn't even have time to break the seal before he fell into the canyon. This almost caused the Liao Family to decline. Therefore, we must be extremely careful when we enter the Golden Fallen Canyon."
When everyone heard that even a Core Forging Enlightened Master had fallen in the canyon, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Seeing everyone's fear, He Lixin smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? The Golden Fallen Canyon isn't the only dangerous place in the Seven Star Skies. Since the opening of the Seven Star Skies, many Enlightened Masters have gone missing and died in different places. Otherwise, where would the treasures that Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect fight for come from?"
