Lu Ping discreetly asked Ai Botao: "Brother Ai, I heard from Brother Shu Tao that five of the Seven Stars Temples have been opened, and there are already thirty-five treasures that have their own owners. How are the various forces around the temples?"
Ai Botao said helplessly, "Seven Stars Temple is surrounded by all kinds of people. Other than the big sects like Xuan Ling Sect and your sect, it's very difficult for other sects to occupy a stable place in Seven Stars Temple. I heard that Xuan Ling Sect and your sect each obtained four treasures. Later, your sect's two heroes, Ji Zixuan and Yin Zichu, snatched a treasure from the east side of the Seven Stars Temple. They were chased by people and had to run all the way to the area controlled by your sect before they were safe. So your sect has obtained five treasures. "
Lu Ping heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Ji Zixuan and Yin Zichu were safe. Although Lu Ping knew that their combined strength wasn't any weaker than a Ninth Layer Blood Condensation Realm expert, he couldn't guarantee his own safety in a chaotic battle.
Lu Ping saw Ai Botao's envious expression and said: "Didn't Brother Shu Tao also get a treasure? After all, there are only forty-nine treasures in the Seven Stars Temple."
Ai Botao heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's right. My West-Hill Island's Ai Clan is only a medium-sized force in the North Sea. To be able to obtain a treasure is already a stroke of good fortune, not to mention that there are Demon Clan forces that are not any weaker than the North Sea Sects."
Lu Ping heard this and said: "It seems that those monster cultivators also got a lot of treasures."
Ai Botao solemnly said: "Yes, of the thirty-five treasures, fifteen or sixteen have fallen into the hands of the monster cultivators. Especially that Jin Young Master who took three, and the Golden Flood Dragon Island's Primordial Giant Crocodile also got two. This time, he was eyeing the jade slip that Third Brother obtained and sent his Third Sister to snatch it. If it wasn't for Brother Lu's help, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Lu Ping said: "Most of the other treasures also fell into the hands of the large forces?"
Ai Botao shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. There were also a few lucky rogue cultivators and demonic cultivators who obtained treasures. I'm afraid they're either being chased or hiding and waiting for the Seven Star Sky Palace to close. There are also many rumors around the Seven Stars Hall. One moment, it's said that someone obtained a treasure, and the next moment, it's said that someone also obtained a treasure. In the end, only thirty-five treasures have appeared, and seventy or eighty people have obtained treasures. "
Lu Ping secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. After all, many treasures would change hands several times in a chaotic battle. No one could say for sure who had taken the treasures.
After bidding farewell to Ai Botao and the rest, Lu Ping headed north. This area was located in the center of Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect's territories. It couldn't be helped. After all, almost half of the Seven Stars Temple's territory was occupied by the demonic cultivators.
The Jade Temple rumbled and was about to open.
Lu Ping quietly walked to the north, keeping an appropriate distance from the vigilant cultivators around him. Lu Ping looked around and found that Xuan Ling Sect's Ouyang Weijian was also among the cultivators. It seems that this person also has the same idea as Lu Ping and the other two.
Lu Ping's arrival also attracted Ouyang Weijian's attention, but Lu Ping's mask and Spirit Concealment Technique made Ouyang Weijian just glanced at him casually and didn't pay attention to him.
By then, the number of cultivators surrounding the Seven Stars Palace had been reduced by half. With the exception of those who had died in the chaotic battle, the remaining cultivators had already begun a battle within the Seven Stars Palace. Additionally, there was no telling just how many dangers were lurking outside the Seven Stars Palace, where divine sense could not reach.
The seven treasures of the Jade Palace flew in all directions. The northeast direction where Zhen Ling Sect was located was obviously not very lucky this time. None of the seven treasures were aimed at Zhen Ling Sect, but Xuan Ling Sect got a golden talisman without much effort, but they didn't know what it was used for.
Lu Ping and the others were also in a good direction. A fist-sized silver-gray stone flew over, but obviously, Ouyang Weijian's position was better.
"Space Stone, it's Space Stone!"
"Take it!"
"Watch my sword!"
"Get lost!"
… …
Lu Ping didn't expect it to be Space Stone. This is a necessary material for refining spatial artifacts. Although it's not as precious as Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures, but because of its special effect, cultivators generally call this kind of treasure as a Heaven and Earth Strange Object. Its value is comparable to a top-grade spiritual material that has lost its spirituality. According to Lu Ping's knowledge, the Myriad Poison Paste in his hand is a kind of Heaven and Earth Strange Object.
Chen Lian once told Lu Ping that ordinary interspatial pouches could be crafted with Space Dark Stone powder. Even the exquisite interspatial pouches used by Blood Condensation Realm cultivators only used Space Dark Stone powder. Larger Space Dark Stones could be used to craft high-grade spatial mystic instruments such as storage bracelets or rings. But this fist-sized Space Dark Stone didn't even appear in Chen Lian's description of it.
In other words, this Space Stone could be used to create a large-scale spatial artifact like the 'Thousand Bell Millet' in Lu Ping's hand. Usually, such large-scale spatial artifacts are made by Dharma Manifestation Realm cultivators like Laozu.
Ouyang Weijian obviously knew the value of such a large Space Stone. Before he made his move, several cultivators had already made their moves to snatch it.
Ouyang Weijian wasn't in a hurry to join the fray. Instead, he slowly shifted his position. Lu Ping could see clearly that Ouyang Weijian's position would ensure that after he snatched the Space Stone, he would quickly break through the encirclement of Xuan Ling Sect.
The corner of Lu Ping's mouth twitched. From his current position, it was impossible for him to snatch the Space Stone. Unless he had the confidence to deal with thirty to forty Mid and Late Blood Condensation Realm cultivators surrounding him. However, Lu Ping was confident that he could make a mess of the situation if he made a move.
He thrust his sword out, graceful, swift, and untraceable!
Ouyang Weijian made his move!
His sword turned into an invisible gust of wind, causing those who saw it to unconsciously choose to ignore it.
The key to the 'Merry Eighteen Swords': Fast! Accurate! Invisible!
Different from most other sword intent realms, Xuan Ling Sect's swordsmanship's standard to achieve sword intent was not 'Complex Sword Training', but 'Return to One'.
For most of the cultivators who practiced swordsmanship, after reaching the realm of sword intent, the first step was "Sword Refinement to Complexity". The 81 sword lights would be divided into two, 162 sword lights, and then 1296 sword lights, reaching the highest level of "Sword Refinement to Complexity". Then, they would begin to combine the sword lights into one, achieving the realm of "Sword Refinement as One".
Xuan Ling Sect's swordsmanship required the cultivator to first combine the eighty-one sword energies into one, then the one hundred and sixty-two sword energies into one, all the way until the one thousand two hundred and ninety-six sword energies were combined into one, directly achieving the state of "Unity of Sword and Practice".
The former was relatively easy to progress in the 'Complex Sword Training' realm, but it was extremely difficult to achieve the 'Unity of Sword Training' realm. The latter was extremely difficult to achieve every breakthrough, but it lowered the threshold of the 'Unity of Sword Training' realm. It was hard to tell which was better.
