The leading demonic cultivator stomped his feet, and the seawater below suddenly turned into a huge water shield, covering everyone inside.
Although Qu Xuancheng's rain of fire was powerful, it was completely blocked by this water shield.
After the rain of fire, the water shield disappeared into the sea. There was no trace of Qu Xuancheng in the sky. The leading demonic cultivator reacted and shouted angrily, "We were tricked by that Qu Xuancheng. That Qu Xuancheng was trapped in the formation for half a day. He used several kinds of magical powers to break through the formation. I'm afraid the true essence in his body is already exhausted.
The leading Monster Cultivator chased after Qu Xuancheng. If he let Qu Xuancheng escape this time, his plan of mobilizing more than a dozen Core Forging Stage cultivators from various battlefields in the North Sea and paying such a price would be considered a failure on the verge of success. Moreover, because of this, he would lose a Mid Core Forging Stage cultivator and an Early Core Forging Stage cultivator. After returning, it was not impossible for him to be questioned by the Monster King. He was naturally unwilling.
Naturally, he was extremely unwilling. There were only eleven Perfected Masters left behind. One of them was seriously injured by Lu Ping's repeated attacks. He left one to guard him, and the other ten Perfected Masters followed him and flew in the direction Qu Xuancheng left.
At this time, on the sea surface a few miles away, a turtle with a broken shell on its back suddenly floated up. On the turtle's back was a young man who was completely soaked and weak.
This man and turtle were Lu Ping and Lu Dagui.
Although the leading demonic cultivator's attack was not aimed at Lu Dagui, the killing intent of a late-stage Core Forging cultivator was not something a turtle demon who had just stepped into the late Blood Condensation Realm could withstand. Although Lu Dagui used a secret technique to escape several miles away with the help of Lu Ping's last trace of true essence, the price was extremely heavy. Lu Ping had almost no true essence left in his body, and Lu Dagui's turtle shell was broken and he was unconscious on the sea surface.
As soon as Lu Ping put Lu Dagui into the spirit beast bag, his divine sense shook. Then, a red light streaked across the sky. Seeing Lu Ping on the sea surface, a giant hand stretched out from the red light and grabbed Lu Ping.
Lu Ping did not resist and let the giant hand lift him in the air. In fact, even if he resisted now, there was not a trace of true essence in his body.
"Kid, you're quite courageous, very good!"
The heroic voice was naturally Perfected Master Qu Xuancheng.
Lu Ping said weakly, "Martial Uncle, you flatter me. I almost died!"
Perfected Master Qu Xuancheng laughed and said, "Martial Uncle, are those demons still behind us?"
Lu Ping looked behind him. Enlightened Master Qu Xuancheng's escape technique didn't slow down at all. He frowned and said, "Martial Uncle, are the monsters still behind us?"
"Damn it!" Perfected Master Qu Xuancheng cursed, "They probably saw that both of us have exhausted our true essence and wanted to catch up to take advantage of us. This time, I suffered such a big loss, I must get back at them."
Lu Ping was stunned by Perfected Master Qu Xuancheng's words and did not reply for a while.
At this moment, Perfected Master Qu Xuancheng suddenly chuckled and said, "This time, Mo Wei, that bastard, did not take advantage of us. Not to mention that one of the demons is dead and one is crippled, even the thirteen array discs of the Black Frost Mist Condensing Array are worth a lot."
Without waiting for Lu Ping to speak, Perfected Master Qu Xuancheng said again, "Kid, you came from Xuan Qi Island? How is the island? It couldn't have been conquered, right? Based on my understanding of this squid demon, Mo Wei, after luring me out, there's an 80% chance that he still has a backup plan. This time, I've fallen into his trap. I've lost all my face in the North Sea cultivation world. "
After saying that, he even sighed twice!
Lu Ping was a little amused, but he did not dare to be presumptuous. After all, this Uncle-Master was a figure who was as famous as his teacher, so he smiled weakly and said, "Xuan Qi Island is still there, I guess the other cultivators of our sect will arrive soon."
"What?"
Perfected Master Qu Xuancheng exclaimed, and the big hand that grabbed Lu Ping suddenly shook, causing Lu Ping to be very worried in mid-air, afraid that this temperamental Uncle-Master would throw him into the sea in excitement.
"What's going on, tell me quickly!"
But before Lu Ping could open his mouth, a wave of spiritual energy suddenly came from the sea a few miles behind him.
"They caught up quite quickly, if not for the Old Man's lack of True Essence, we might have to fight with them this time. It won't be so easy to trap the Old Man again, but now we are like tigers in a flat land, I hope these people won't catch up to us when we return to Xuan Qi Island."
As soon as Perfected Master Qu Xuancheng's voice fell, an angry roar came from behind, "Qu Xuancheng, where can you escape to today? Today, I'll make sure you die! "
When Lu Ping turned to look, he saw an ink-colored brilliance that seemed to be using the white clouds in the sky as a piece of paper, fiercely writing the word "one", and the distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer.
"This guy seems to be really anxious, in order to catch up to the Old Man, he even used his flying ability. This is not good, the True Essence in the Old Man's body is exhausted, damn it!"
Lu Ping didn't know who Enlightened Master Qu was cursing, but when he heard Enlightened Master Qu said that his Zhen Yuan was depleted, he let Enlightened Master Mo Wei catch up to him. Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. He believed Enlightened Master Qu Xuancheng also had medicinal pellets that could restore Zhen Yuan. However, these medicinal pellets required time to digest, and it was obviously too late for Enlightened Master Qu Xuancheng.
Perfected Master Qu, who was flying quickly, was thinking of a way to get rid of the pursuit of the demon cultivator behind him, but he saw Lu Ping suddenly look down at his storage magic tool, rummaging for something. When he raised his head, his hand was already holding something that was almost the size of a baby's head …
"This is … a longevity peach?"
Perfected Master Qu looked at Lu Ping with a strange expression. Clearly, he also didn't think that Lu Ping would take out this thing at a time like this.
"Spirit Demon Peach, to recover True Essence!"
Lu Ping said in a somewhat bad mood, momentarily forgetting that the person in front of him was Zhenling's highly respected senior cultivator, his Uncle-Master.
"This is a Spirit Demon Peach?"
Perfected Master Qu first looked at the longevity peach in disbelief, then looked at Lu Ping, as if he didn't believe it, but before Lu Ping could say anything, a hand had already taken the longevity peach.
Once the longevity peach was in his hand, Perfected Master Qu immediately realized its authenticity and happily said, "It really is a Spirit Demon Peach."
With that said, he opened his mouth and sucked. The juice and flesh of the entire peach were directly sucked into Perfected Master Qu's mouth under Lu Ping's dumbfounded gaze, leaving only the peach pit and the peel.
Perfected Master Qu smacked his lips and said, "It's a pity to eat it like this!"
Lu Ping rolled his eyes. This was a Spirit Demon Peach, and if it was used to refine pills, it could be used to refine a cauldron of Dharma Rejuvenation Pills. Of course it was a pity to eat it like this, but why didn't Perfected Master Qu say it before eating it? He had already eaten it and only said it was a pity. No matter how he looked at it, Lu Ping felt like he was going crazy.
Perfected Master Qu casually threw the things away, but Lu Ping stretched out his hand and called back the pit of the peach.
Perfected Master Qu looked at Lu Ping with extreme disdain, then silently activated his technique. Immediately, he was overjoyed and said, "It really is a good item. I have recovered a third of my True Essence. Let's see how this cuttlefish spirit can catch up to the Old Man."
With that, Perfected Master Qu actually activated his flying technique. In a moment, Xuan Qi Island was already in sight.
However, at this moment, Perfected Master Qu inexplicably stopped.
Just when Lu Ping was at a loss for words, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was the Mystic Yin Sect's Enlightened Master.
Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed. "Uncle-Master!"
Perfected Master Mysterious Yin grunted and said to Perfected Master Qu Xuancheng, "Shall we kill our way back?"
Perfected Master Qu Xuancheng chuckled and said, "That's what I was thinking. You deal with the cuttlefish spirit, I'll kill a few other demons to vent my anger."
With that, he threw Lu Ping down and stuffed a few pills into his mouth. "Kid, you go back first. The Old Man is going to start a massacre! Don't blame me for not warning you. You've continuously exhausted your True Essence, be careful not to destroy your cultivation foundation. "
The two Enlightened Masters, who were at the peak of Core Forging Stage, disappeared in a flash. Soon after, a deafening roar and a furious roar came from the distant sky. It was the leader of the Demon Clan, Enlightened Master Mo Wei.
When Lu Ping looked over, the distant sky seemed to be dyed by a vat of ink. An ink-colored painting rose up and continuously expanded its territory in the sky.
Lu Ping smiled helplessly. At this moment, he was thrown onto a reef by Perfected Master Qu. His body was extremely weak because of the exhaustion of True Essence. Fortunately, Lu Ping's body had been tempered by the Golden Resilience Pill and was much stronger than ordinary cultivators. Otherwise, after being injured twice because of the exhaustion of True Essence, Lu Ping's cultivation foundation might really be damaged.
Fortunately, Lu Ping didn't have to wait for long before the patrolling cultivators on Xuan Qi Island discovered Lu Ping. Previously, Lu Ping killed a Core Forging Stage demon cultivator outside Xuan Qi Island. Then, he fought three Core Forging Stage demon cultivators and killed one of them. This kind of divine power was already shocking to the cultivators on Xuan Qi Island. If it wasn't for Lu Ping's protection, Xuan Qi Island would have long been invaded by the demons and they would have died. Who wouldn't recognize him?
Everyone hurriedly brought Lu Ping back to Xuan Qi Island. Hu Lili and Chen Lian rushed over when they heard the news. At this time, another three Core Forging Stage Enlightened Masters rushed over. After hearing the rumors about Lu Ping, most of them didn't believe it and wanted to visit him. However, by this time, Lu Ping had already entered a quiet room to heal his injuries.
The demons wanted to take advantage of Zhenling Liu Tianling and Laozu's Dharma Manifestation Assembly to sneak into Tianling Mountain and assassinate the cultivators who were participating in the Dharma Manifestation Assembly. They intended to ruin Liu Tianling and Laozu's Dharma Manifestation Assembly, dampening the morale of the cultivators in the North Sea and provoking internal strife in the North Sea Alliance. However, they didn't expect that the demon warriors who sneaked into the Inner Sea would be stopped by one of the "Three Truths and Four Spirits" of Zhenling's "One Truth and Two Spirits". After a fierce battle, the three Enlightened Masters of Zhenling displayed strength that shocked the North Sea Cultivation World. Two of them were at the Ninth Stage of Core Forging and one was at the Peak Core Forging Stage. They defeated the demon warriors, killing five Mid and Late Core Forging Stage Enlightened Masters.
Just as the Demon Clan's Death Warriors sneaked into the Internal Endless Sea, the Late Core Forging Cultivator of the Demon Clan, Reverend Mo Wei, set up a Black Frost Fog Formation outside of Xuan Qi Island, luring Zhen Ling Sect's Reverend Qu Xuancheng into the formation with the intention of killing him. Just as he was about to succeed, an Early Core Forging Cultivator from Zhen Ling Sect ruined his plan. Not only was the formation destroyed, but he also lost two Core Forging Cultivators.
Enlightened Master Mo Wei chased after Qu Xuancheng, but unexpectedly, he met Enlightened Master Black Moon who came to help. Enlightened Master Black Moon and Qu Xuancheng turned around and attacked. Enlightened Master Mo Wei was caught off guard and escaped with serious injuries. Of the remaining ten Core Forging Stage Enlightened Masters, two were killed and three were injured by Enlightened Master Black Moon. The rest were assassinated by Enlightened Master Black Moon along the way. Only then did they safely retreat to Zhenling under the encirclement of the Late Core Forging Stage Enlightened Master Mo Wei.
During this battle, it was rumored that Enlightened Master Qu Xuancheng had also reached the peak of Core Forging Stage, achieving the Golden Core stage. This once again shocked the North Sea Beast Cultivators and the other sects. Zhenling's strength had unknowingly reached such a level!
Due to the cover of these famous Core Forging Stage Enlightened Master Qu Xuancheng, the other Zhenling cultivator who had shone brilliantly in this battle, although Zhenling's strength had also surprised many people, his strength had not reached the level where he could affect the balance of the North Sea's cultivation world like the other four Core Forging Stage Enlightened Master Qu Xuancheng. Therefore, he received less attention. In addition, with the intentional concealment, the news of Lu Ping battling three Core Forging Stage Beast Cultivators on Xuan Qi Island and killing a Fifth Layer Core Forging Stage Beast Cultivator on Xuan Qi Island did not spread. Even so, the two incidents of him defeating Xuan Ling Sect's genius Ouyang Weijian with his great swordsmanship during the Dharma Idol Convention and helping Enlightened Master Qu Xuancheng break the Black Frost Mist Condensing Formation also caused his ranking on the "North Sea Rookie List" to rise to 29th place. He was the first Core Forging Stage cultivator to enter the top 30 on the "North Sea Rookie List".
However, at this time, Lu Ping had already returned to the newly established Soundwave Manor on Tianling Mountain.
Lu Ping only used a month to recover his injuries and True Essence. However, Lu Ping did not dare to be careless because of Enlightened Master Qu Xuancheng's warning. All these years, Lu Ping had been running around and had encountered many fortuitous encounters. His cultivation had grown rapidly and his strength was tyrannical. He was also a master of alchemy, so the True Essence in his body was vigorous and his foundation looked extremely solid.
However, after this injury, many problems were exposed in Lu Ping's cultivation. His True Essence was indeed vigorous, but compared to before, it was less pure. Perhaps because of the influence of the Heart Forging Pill, Lu Ping's cultivation had grown too quickly over the years. Although Lu Ping's foundation was still vigorous and solid compared to cultivators of the same level, how could Lu Ping let these flaws exist? What's more, the "Linhai Wave Listening Technique" of the "North Sea Wave Listening Technique" first focused on the purity of True Essence cultivation.
Lu Ping decided to go into seclusion to sort out what he had learned, and at the same time, completely consolidate his cultivation. Perhaps this would delay the progress of Lu Ping's cultivation, but in the long run, it was indeed beneficial. However, this seclusion lasted for three years.
