The darkness of the night was like a ferocious beast that could devour everything. It lay there quietly, waiting for the arrival of its prey. The surface of the sea had already calmed down. The rippling seawater had already wiped away all traces of the battle. It was impossible to imagine that a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator had once killed a Core Forging Enlightened Master.
Six beams of light suddenly lit up on the surface of the sea. In the moaning sound of the tide, they looked like six dancing fireflies.
The six rays of light landed on the surface of the sea, revealing six late Blood Condensation cultivators. The leader was at the Eighth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm, while the other five were at the Seventh Layer.
"Big Brother, I can't imagine how a Blood Condensation cultivator could defeat a Core Forging Enlightened Master!"
"That's right. I'm afraid that person was just hiding his cultivation. After all, a Core Forging Enlightened Master isn't something we can guess."
"There's no mistake. Cultivation can be hidden, but the aura of magic energy can't be hidden. That person didn't use Quintessential Essence, but magic energy. Moreover, he didn't even use his divine sense!"
"The way I see it, the 12 five-coloured lights are the most powerful. They are clearly just top-grade magic artefacts, but they are actually able to fight against magic treasures. The door that appeared in the sky in the end must be a legendary Dao technique, but it was actually destroyed by the 12 five-coloured lights." "That's right.
"Big Brother, what do you think?" The last cultivator finally asked the leader of the group.
The leader of the group had been frowning all this time. He looked around in bewilderment, as if he didn't hear the question from the cultivators behind him.
The cultivators behind him finally noticed that something was wrong with the leader. One of them asked cautiously, "Big Brother …"
"Something's wrong!" The leader of the group interrupted his brother in panic. He took out two Water Splitters and shouted, "Run!"
When the five cultivators behind him heard this, they all became alert. Each of them wielded their magic tools in the air. Suddenly, twelve five-colored lights lit up around them, and a faint voice came from above them, "At least you have some vigilance, but it's too late!"
A moment later, the twelve lights flashed, and only the six cultivators were left on the surface of the sea.
One of them asked the leader of the group, "Big Brother, then we …"
The leading cultivator's expression was calm. He turned around and flew away, leaving behind only two words, "Return to the island!"
After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, two streaks of light suddenly flashed on the surface of the sea, revealing a black-robed cultivator in his thirties and an old man in a silver robe.
If Lu Ping were here, he would definitely recognize that the cultivator in black was Immortal Wang Hua, who had mistaken him for a cultivator of the Crystal Palace, and the old man must be Immortal Kunshan, the alchemy master of the Crystal Palace.
At this moment, Kun Shan Zhenren's face was very ugly. When he came to the Fallen Mystery Land, he saw the message left by his disciple about the discovery of the Land of Hundred Flowers. The people of Kun Shan Town naturally knew what the Land of Hundred Flowers meant, so they immediately rushed to the nameless island without stopping. However, they were still one step too late.
After joining hands with Immortal Wang Hua to injure and expel Immortal Jin Li, the two of them discovered Wang Yishan and the others in the Land of Hundred Flowers. When the people of Kun Shan Town saw the two huge pits in the Land of Hundred Flowers, they immediately realized that the King of Hundred Flowers had been taken by someone else, so they fiercely scolded Senior Martial Brother Qi.
Senior Martial Brother Qi felt wronged, and at the same time, he was extremely vexed. How could he have known that the Land of Hundred Flowers had a King of Hundred Flowers?
Of course, if the people of Kun Shan Town knew that the King of Hundred Flowers that Lu Ping had obtained was a Ninth Grade White Jade Lotus and a Peach Tree Demon that had condensed Psychic Wood, they probably wouldn't just be remorseful.
In any case, the Land of Hundred Flowers was still a treasure trove. The Hundred Flowers Fiendish had survived two large-scale raids by Lu Ping and Senior Martial Brother Qi. However, Natural Oddities were rare. Even though the Hundred Flowers Fiendish had become extremely sparse, there were still many cultivators who were willing to use it to condense and strengthen their protective Stellar Energy. The cultivators of the two sects naturally sealed this treasure trove for future use.
"It seems like we're a step too late. Jin Li has already escaped. However, the aura here is really strange. It seems like Jin Li fought a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator," Immortal Wang Hua said uncertainly.
"That's right. It's indeed strange. With Jin Li's abilities, even after using the Blood Escape Technique, he shouldn't have been able to fight with a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator for so long. Moreover, from the aura left behind in this place, it seems like Jin Li used his full strength." The silver-robed old man from the Crystal Palace, Immortal Kun Shan's divine sense was clearly above Immortal Wang Hua's. He could sense more things.
"In any case, this person shouldn't appear in the territory of our three sects' alliance. What's more important now is to hide our plan from the Zhang and Li Families, especially the Northern Cultivator Alliance behind the Zhang Family. This time, Jin Li almost discovered the teleportation array. Fortunately, the Old Man arrived in time."
"We must also seal the news about the Land of Hundred Flowers. Although the Hundred Flowers Fiendish there is much sparse, it can still be used to reward ordinary disciples. It should be enough for seven or eight people to condense their Stellar Energy. My Crystal Palace will split the Hundred Flowers Fiendish Qi with your Wang Family. Your Wang Family will send four disciples here to condense their Stellar Energy."
As he spoke, Immortal Kun Shan had already regarded the Land of Hundred Flowers on the Nameless Island as the Crystal Palace's possession. This was a good place. As long as the flowers did not disappear, the Stellar Energy would remain forever. After accumulating for decades, it could be used by the disciples to condense their Stellar Energy. After a few hundred years, even the Flower King would be born. Moreover, there were many 500-year-old or even 1000-year-old spiritual herbs in the Land of Hundred Flowers.
Immortal Wang Hua was startled when he heard this. When he saw that the people of Kun Shan Town were looking at him with bright eyes, he said, "Okay!"
Lu Ping rushed back to Hearing Waves Island overnight. He summoned Hong Ying and gave him some instructions. Hong Ying's face was filled with shock and admiration. Then, he hurriedly summoned his four Vajra subordinates and ordered Wu Yan to guard the island. They left Hearing Waves Island overnight.
Lu Ping sat cross-legged on top of the miniature spiritual vein in the middle of his Immortal's Cave. When he finally calmed his mind, his complexion suddenly changed and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
This battle with Immortal Jin Li could be said to have been a narrow escape from death. If not for the strength of Lu Ping's Great Genchen Formation, which was able to contend against Immortal Jin Li's inherited magical ability, Lu Ping would have long since died under the Heavenly Gate Sword Formation.
Of course, the main reason was that Immortal Jin Li had been seriously injured and could not use thirty to forty percent of his strength. Otherwise, even if Lu Ping had the Great Genchen Formation, he would at most be able to escape from Immortal Jin Li.
The next day, Hong Ying returned to Hearing Waves Island in high spirits and announced that Sunrise Island's Ye Buqi and his brothers had submitted to Hearing Waves Island. Lu Ping's subordinates now controlled Hearing Waves Island, Crimson Shadow Island, and Sunrise Island. Among the twenty-seven islands under the control of the Three Clans Alliance, Hong Ying was still the nominal leader of the three islands, while Sunrise Island's Ye Buqi had become the second-in-command.
What made Hong Ying even more excited was that Sunrise Island also had a miniature spiritual vein. This news was tightly concealed by Ye Buqi and his brothers, and not even the slightest bit of information leaked out.
With his injuries under control, Lu Ping quickly arranged a formation, drawing the spiritual vein to Hearing Waves Island. With two spiritual veins in his Immortal's Cave, the Spiritual Qi density in his Immortal's Cave greatly increased, and Lu Ping's injuries rapidly improved.
A few days later, the three islands' caravans returned. Every once in a while, the forces in the Fallen Secret Realm would have to transport their specialties out of the secret realm and exchange them for the items they needed from the various market squares outside the realm. Most of the items were medicinal pills, magic tools, and other such items.
This time, the caravan followed Lu Ping's instructions and exchanged for a lot of five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs from the various market squares outside the Fallen Secret Realm. Lu Ping personally refined a few furnaces of medicinal pills and gave them to Hong Ying to distribute to the Blood Condensation cultivators of the three islands. Only then did Hong Ying and Ye Buqi realize that Lu Ping was actually an alchemist. Only then did they become even more respectful towards Lu Ping, not daring to have the slightest complaint.
With the support of medicinal pills, the thirty or so Blood Condensation cultivators of the three islands immediately set off on a cultivation frenzy. These rogue cultivators lacked all kinds of cultivation resources, and their inheritances were also incomplete. Therefore, once they had an opportunity to increase their cultivation, their determination to cultivate was stronger than anyone else's.
Lu Ping didn't care what his subordinates thought. In the battle with Enlightened Master Jin Li, Lu Ping could be said to have suffered heavy losses.
Not to mention that Lu Ping had spent three months recuperating, the Qinghan Sword that had accompanied him for the longest time was shattered, and the Cloudy Sky was also heavily damaged. It was obvious that it wouldn't be of much use anymore. A talisman treasure had been discarded just like that, and the Meteorite Vital Poisons had been continuously shattered. It would take a long time for Lu Ping to recuperate with his arcane energy.
Right now, the only top-grade magic tools that Lu Ping could use were the Crystal Glaze Bowl and the Golden Copper Mirror. As for the other top-grade magic tools, Lu Ping had two or three, but they weren't compatible with Lu Ping's cultivation technique, so he couldn't bring out the true power of the magic tools.
The Great Genchen Array obviously couldn't be used rashly. Using the Great Genchen Array consumed an enormous amount of arcane energy, so it couldn't be used unless it was absolutely necessary. Once it was used, it had to end the battle quickly. Otherwise, Lu Ping would face the predicament of running out of arcane energy.
During the battle with Enlightened Master Jin Li, if it weren't for the support of three Transformation Spirit Pills, Lu Ping wouldn't have been able to last until the end. Even so, most of the internal injuries Lu Ping sustained were caused by forcefully using the Great Genchen Array.
Fortunately, Lu Ping's harvest this time was similarly enormous. Now was the time to use these gains to strengthen his own foundation.
Lu Ping once again drew out the water from the Crystal Glaze Bowl. This was a habit that Lu Ping often used to practice his swordsmanship when he was in seclusion.
At this time, there were already three hundred and twenty-four water swords, under Lu Ping's command, revolving around Lu Ping's cave and playing around. The one in the lead was the Psychic Sword Light, which had already increased to one hundred and sixty-two. It was as if it was the leader of these three hundred or so sword lights.
At this moment, Lu Ping's hand seals changed. The three hundred or so water swords trembled, and suddenly, each of them split into a small sword. These small swords reappeared from the Crystal Glaze Bowl, immediately growing to the same size as the other water swords. Finally, a total of six hundred and forty-eight sword lights, under the lead of the one hundred and sixty-two Psychic Sword Lights, slowly merged into a giant water sword in the sky.
Under Lu Ping's control, this water sword only needed to use the "Stone Piercing Sky Sword Art" once before it suddenly collapsed, turning into water droplets that filled the sky and scattered around the cave.
