A few days later, in the sea thousands of miles away from Silver Sword Island, a small white boat appeared in the sky. Liang Xuanfeng, Zhu Xuanmeng, and Lu Ping stood on the boat. Enlightened Master Liang Xuanfeng waved his hand and the boat disappeared into the air.
Zhu Xuanmeng looked fondly at Liang Xuanfeng's boat and said, "Uncle-master, your boat is truly fast. It only takes the time to finish a cup of tea to get here from Silversword Island."
Liang Xuanfeng flaunted, "That's true. Although this Cloudstream Boat isn't my Natal Artifact, it has condensed Six Dao Talismans. It's considered one of the fastest flying artifacts in the cultivation world."
With his divine sense, Lu Ping could clearly sense that there were hundreds of Core Forging Realm cultivators and even more Blood Condensation Realm cultivators hiding in the void around him. These cultivators had varying levels of cultivation, and their invisibility techniques were strong or weak. However, without exception, none of them seemed to be deliberately hiding their presence.
Lu Ping said curiously, "These cultivators are quite strange. Since no one is deliberately hiding their tracks, wouldn't it be better to meet face to face? In this way, wouldn't it be like burying one's head in the sand?"
Liang Xuanfeng said, "It's not to hide our tracks, but to hide our identities."
Lu Ping suddenly understood. In the process of exploring ruins like this, everyone had to be on guard against sneak attacks. Therefore, the important thing was not whether you would be discovered when you made a move, but whether you would be recognized after the sneak attack. The former could be avoided at most, but when they met again in the future, no one would be able to recognize each other. The latter was a life and death feud that would not end until one of them died.
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from the depths of the sea, and the seawater on the surface of the sea suddenly vibrated. Liang Xuanfeng said seriously, "Attention, the Crystal Palace and Skyrend have joined hands to open the Mansion of Profound Mystery. It's much earlier than I expected. It seems that it's right to come here two hours earlier today. Otherwise, we will have to eat the leftovers of others."
When Lu Ping and Zhu Xuanmeng heard Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's words, they felt that this Uncle-Master was being too careless. Through the past two days of interaction, Lu Ping had already realized that although this Uncle-Master was cautious, he was an extremely easy person to get along with. Hence, he said, "Uncle-Master, you're being too careless. How can you rush back and forth for such a matter?"
Liang Xuanfeng glared at Lu Ping and pretended to be older. "Kid, what do you know? Do you know what your Martial Uncle is best at?"
Before Lu Ping could ask, Perfected Liang Xuanfeng had already said ostentatiously, "Restrictions! All kinds of formations and restrictions in the ruins. Of course, it's not to set them up, but to dismantle them! According to my deduction of the Crystal Palace and Skyrend's speed in breaking the restrictions, the cave will open two hours after we arrive. Two hours is enough for us to prepare. "
"Why is it earlier now?" Zhu Xuanmeng also found it funny and joked with Liang Xuanfeng.
"This is what I'm most worried about. It seems that the Crystal Palace and Skyrend have joined hands."
Hearing this, Zhu Xuanmeng's face turned gloomy like Perfected Liang Xuanfeng.
Lu Ping thought for a while and said, "Martial Uncle also said that the Crystal Palace has been collecting information about Fei Ling Sect through the Overflowing Ocean Gang. Perhaps the Crystal Palace happened to have some jade slips that recorded the restrictions that Laozu had set up in the cave."
Reverend Liang Xuanfeng did not answer, but his complexion was much better. If the Crystal Palace and the Sky Fissure Sword Sect had truly joined forces to take over the Profound Abode of Abode, the Crystal Palace would naturally have nothing to fear as they were the only major force in the Eastern Sea. The Sky Fissure Sword Sect would not be able to withstand the denunciations of the Eastern Sea cultivators. Even the other three major sects would be wary of the alliance between the Crystal Palace and the Sky Fissure Sword Sect.
Suddenly, two huge whirlpools formed on the surface of the sea. Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's face lit up. "The two sects really did not join hands. Let's go, we're already one step behind them."
Enlightened Master Liang Xuanfeng steered the Flowing Cloud Warship toward one of the whirlpools and plunged into the sea. Lu Ping's divine sense told him that the hundreds of cultivators had split into two groups and were rushing toward the two whirlpools.
Liang Xuanfeng had the Flowing Cloud Boat in his hand, and he cultivated a wind-attributed cultivation technique, so in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the group.
At this moment, the three of them suddenly became the target of everyone. Immediately, several attacks were launched at the Flowing Cloud Boat, intending to slow down the three of them.
Lu Ping and Zhu Xuanmeng guarded the two sides while Perfected Liang Xuanfeng controlled the flying boat. Under the speed of lightning, the distance between them and the cultivators widened.
Lu Ping stood on the port side of the Flowing Cloud Boat. Lu Ping couldn't help but feel a little excited when a flying sword shot towards him. This was the first time he made a move since advancing to the Core Forging Realm. Moreover, he was facing a chaotic battle or even a siege by Perfected Cultivators.
Lu Ping formed a sword art and the Golden Scale Sword shot out from Lu Ping's right fingertip. Ninety-six sword shadows struck the flying sword and sent it swaying towards the sea. A painful roar came from the void. Clearly, Lu Ping's sword had injured the opponent's magic artifact.
On the other side, Zhu Xuanmeng was actually holding a pipa in her hand. Amidst the noise, the attacks flying towards the starboard side were shaken and shattered by the void.
Although Perfected Liang Xuanfeng had been controlling the Flowing Cloud Boat with all his strength, he was secretly preparing to make a move in case he encountered an expert.
He wasn't too worried about Zhu Xuanmeng. After all, Zhu Xuanmeng's cultivation was at the mid-stage of the Core Forging Realm.
However, Lu Ping's performance really surprised Perfected Liang Xuanfeng. Perfected Liang Xuanfeng originally thought that Lu Ping would not be able to fight the enemy as he had just advanced to the Core Forging Realm and was a pill refiner. However, Perfected Liang Xuanfeng sensed that the cultivator whose magic artifact was damaged by Lu Ping's attack was a cultivator with the same cultivation level as Lu Ping. Although Lu Ping had the advantage of a magic artifact, it was difficult for him to find a match among cultivators of the same cultivation level with just one attack.
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng narrowed his eyes when he saw the Golden Scale Sword in Lu Ping's hand. He chuckled and said, "So that big fish, Jin Li, died in your hands?"
Lu Ping was shocked, but he immediately reacted and said with a smile, "That's right. That guy was besieged and was on his last breath when he escaped. I took advantage of him."
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng said with a smirk, "That monster from Golden Wyrm Island is already furious. He was going to the East Sea to start a massacre. Don't let him see the sword in your hand."
Lu Ping split his sword into three True Essence One Qi Swords made of Psychic Sword Rays and blocked the three magic artifacts that were flying over. He said, "Uncle-Master, what do you think of this technique?"
The three True Essence One Qi Swords were formed by 81 Psychic Sword Rays each. Perfected Liang Xuanfeng nodded as he watched, but he said, "It's best not to use this technique in front of him."
The spirit qi in the air changed and a giant claw tore through the air as if it wanted to grab the Flowing Cloud Boat completely. Perfected Liang Xuanfeng wanted to see how far Lu Ping could go, so he only warned, "Be careful, it's a demonic cultivator!"
Lu Ping pointed at the sword with one hand and the seawater with the other and shouted, "Rise!"
A ninety-foot long Psychic Sword Dragon with a single horn became even more lively after being covered by the seawater. After the giant claw was entangled by the sword dragon, it tore at its head and bit at its body. Although the giant claw tore off many of its sword scales, a mournful wail came from the void after a while. The giant claw was already crushed by the sword dragon.
The sword dragon was also covered in wounds, but it was still swaggering in the sky.
After Lu Ping destroyed the giant claw, no cultivators on the port side came to attack for a while. Perfected Liang Xuanfeng was shocked. The demonic cultivator's cultivation was at the third-stage Core Forging Realm, but Lu Ping easily broke his technique.
"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the void. "Since you're so powerful, maybe the Old Man will have to use his divine sense."
After the cold snort, Lu Ping felt a strange attack coming from the void towards Lu Ping's divine sense.
Divine sense attack!
Lu Ping smiled slightly. Although he didn't know any secret techniques to attack with divine sense, his divine sense was no weaker than a mid-stage Core Forging Realm cultivator. This kind of attack was nothing in Lu Ping's eyes.
Lu Ping searched with his divine sense. After the other party's attack stabbed into Lu Ping's divine sense, Lu Ping only felt a slight numbness in his divine sense. The other party's attack was bounced back by Lu Ping.
Liang Xuanfeng sneered and said, "Didn't you already make your move? You didn't forget to remind me after the attack. What a good move!"
Liang Xuanfeng deliberately said that he reminded him after the attack. Naturally, he wanted to expose the sneak attack. The other party snorted and no longer answered. A cloud of fire swept towards the Flowing Cloud Boat.
Lu Ping's face froze. This was obviously a mid-stage Core Forging Realm master.
Although there were many people who tried to stop Lu Ping during the battle, his opponents were all early-stage Core Forging Realm cultivators. There were only three of them. This was a hidden rule in the East China Sea's cultivation world. Now, a mid-stage Core Forging Realm cultivator not only tried to interfere but also launched a sneak attack. Liang Xuanfeng pointed this out to warn the other party. The other party broke the rule first.
With Liang Xuanfeng, an eighth-stage Core Forging Realm master behind him, Lu Ping had nothing to worry about. Lu Ping's eyes were filled with excitement to be able to fight with a mid-stage Core Forging Realm master.
Lu Ping had a great advantage when fighting with a fire-attribute cultivator on the sea.
Lu Ping immediately sheathed the Golden Scale Sword and clasped his hands together. The water vapor in a radius of a few miles immediately gathered above Lu Ping's head. Before the fiery clouds could reach him, a huge dark cloud had already formed above them.
The enemy cultivator obviously sensed something was amiss and sped up his casting speed. Lu Ping smirked and shouted, "Quick!"
Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain!
The torrential rain poured down and enveloped a huge fiery cloud. Sizzling sounds could be heard from the fiery cloud. Occasionally, there would be explosive sounds. The fiery cloud gradually turned into a gray cloud that was about to be extinguished.
The cultivator who cast the fire cloud did his best to control the cloud of fire to dodge, but the dark cloud in the sky became thicker and thicker. No matter how the cloud of fire moved, it couldn't escape the control of Lu Ping's Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain.
The sea was getting closer and closer. Seeing that the boat was about to plunge into the sea, Liang Xuanfeng laughed loudly. At this time, someone shouted in the sky again, "Your Excellency is too arrogant. Eat my attack!"
