After leaving the cave-dwelling with Qiao Weijie and the others, Lu Ping also brought Ceng Wu out with him. He instructed Ceng Wu to return to Huan Yu Island first, then use the teleportation formation there to meet up with his companions on Huang Li Island. After that, Lu Ping returned to the underground cave-dwelling alone.
"This is the Water Repelling Moon Pearl?"
Lu Ping watched as Dabao limped out from the ground. He then handed the Spirit Pearl that he snatched from Qiao Weijie's subordinates to Lu Ping. When Dabao snatched this Spirit Pearl, although he escaped quickly, he was still snatching food from the hands of a Core Forging cultivator. Qiao Weijie's angry attack still injured Dabao.
Lu Ping didn't expect this pearl to be a famous treasure in the ocean, the Water Repelling Moon Pearl!
The Water Repelling Moon Pearl was also a natural treasure. Strictly speaking, it was also a kind of natural treasure. However, no cultivator was willing to use this natural treasure to refine their protective aura or condense various divine abilities. This was because it was simply a waste of a natural treasure.
The Water Repelling Moon Pearl itself had a simple effect that all cultivators coveted, and that was water repelling!
For cultivators, water repelling was a very simple spell. However, for hundreds of meters of sea water, it required the full effort of a Blood Condensation cultivator. For more than a hundred meters of sea water, only a Core Forging cultivator might be able to use the Water Repelling Spell. Once the sea depth exceeded a thousand meters, then it would require a Dharma Manifestation cultivator to survive.
Of course, some magic treasures with water repelling effects could greatly increase the effect of a cultivator's diving ability. However, after a certain depth, the huge water pressure would weaken the effect of these magic treasures or even render them ineffective.
However, all of this was not possible with the Water Repelling Moon Pearl!
It could be said that a cultivator with the Water Repelling Moon Pearl could dive to any depth of the sea without worrying about the huge water pressure crushing the cultivator into a meat patty.
Of course, there were often fierce underwater beasts and demon cultivators hidden deep in the sea. However, it depended on the cultivator's ability to avoid them. The Water Repelling Moon Pearl did not have a way to hide from deep-sea beasts and demon cultivators.
The boundless ocean was a boundless treasure trove. Even the sea monsters who lived in the ocean all year round didn't dare to say they understood the ocean well. There were countless dangerous places in the deep sea that even the sea monsters would hesitate to venture into. There might be rich cultivation resources hidden in those places, but as long as Lu Ping had the Water Repelling Moon Pearl, he would be qualified to enter any dangerous place in the deep sea.
Although the Water Repelling Moon Pearl only had the effect of repelling water, this alone was better than the other treasures. At least, it paved the way for Lu Ping to enter the dangerous underwater areas and search for treasures. Of course, the most important thing was that a cultivator had to have the strength to survive in the dangerous areas.
For some reason, after Lu Ping returned to the clear stream, Water Shura did not appear again. Lu Ping's Divine Sense was constantly conducting the most detailed search in the surroundings. His eyes were also flickering with green light, but he did not find any trace of Water Shura.
At this moment, the ground of the cave suddenly began to tremble. Lu Ping walked towards the central palace and saw that the spiritual energy in the cultivation room was rapidly decreasing. The traction formation engraved on a small spiritual vein shone brightly, and the traction formation plate placed in the center of the traction formation suddenly exploded. As the ground shook, the spiritual vein of Xuan Ling Sect was moved away.
After the first time, the second time came immediately. Amidst the rumbling of the ground, the spiritual vein occupied by Hai Yu Sect was also moved away.
After that, it was the turn of the two spiritual veins of Zhenling. It was not good for Lu Ping to keep them all to himself, so one was led to Huang Li Island by Hu Lili, while the other was taken by Tian Xue Laozu of Snow Mist Palace.
Although the one who put in the effort for this trip to the Clear Stream Cave was Lu Ping, if it were not for the checks and balances between the various sects on Huan Yu Island and Laozu, it would not be just the six of them who came to the cave to explore.
When the Flying Feather Sect, which was the furthest away from here, also moved a spiritual vein, Lu Ping chuckled and took out a stone that was about a foot long from his storage ring. It was the stone tablet that had the words "Clear Stream Cave" carved on it.
In fact, when Lu Ping first entered the central palace of the Clear Stream Cave, he had a very strange feeling. He had entered and exited his teacher's Chong Hua Palace several times, especially after Liu Tianling achieved Dharma Idol Laozu. The Palace of Chong Hua Palace seemed to have been refined into a spatial artifact by Liu Tianling and Laozu. Although it was still placed on the small island in the middle of Tian Ling Mountain, every time Lu Ping entered it, he would arrive at the top of Tian Ling Mountain's main peak.
This time, after Lu Ping entered the central palace, Lu Ping had a vague feeling in his heart, especially when he used his qi as a signal in the training room to summon Dabao, who was underground. However, Dabao did not notice, which further proved Lu Ping's guess.
Since this central palace was very likely a spatial artifact refined by Laozu, then there must be a mansion-guarding stone tablet in this palace, and this mansion-guarding stone tablet was the one that Lu Ping found on the praying mat in the training room.
After exiting the palace, Lu Ping took out the mansion-guarding stone tablet that he had refined. After another earthquake, the huge central palace had shrunk to the size of the House of Gold, and it flew towards Lu Ping's hand.
Lu Ping thought for a moment, and simply put the central palace into the House of Gold. Compared to a large spatial artifact like the House of Gold, the central palace was just a toy. Lu Ping directly landed the palace on the top of a small mountain in the middle of the House of Gold, which saved Lu Ping the trouble of building another palace on top of it.
However, just as Lu Ping put away the central palace, the entire cave-dwelling suddenly shook violently. The rumbling sounds grew louder and louder. The remaining seals in the underground cave-dwelling began to crumble, and the protective array formation around the cave-dwelling also began to crumble.
Lu Ping thought to himself, "Oh no!"
This palace should be the main hub of the protective formation of the entire cave. After Lu Ping put it away, all the formations and restrictions in the cave collapsed. At that moment, the seawater must have flowed into the cave, and the place was about to be flooded by seawater.
Although Lu Ping felt it was a pity that this underground cave was destroyed, it was obvious that Laozu had spent a lot of effort to build this cave. However, the collapse of the cave would not cause any danger to him at all. Not to mention, he had the Water Prevention Pearl in his hand. Even without the pearl, this place was only about 100 feet away from the sea. For a cultivator like Lu Ping who practiced water attribute cultivation, it was not dangerous at all.
However, after thinking about it, Lu Ping put Dabao away and released Samling. Then, he took Samling and jumped into the small pool in front of the palace.
As soon as Lu Ping jumped into the pool, the water churned violently, and then calmed down. A huge amount of seawater suddenly poured in from the underground tunnel, and the underground cave began to accumulate water. The water level was getting higher and higher, and in less than half an hour, the entire cave was submerged by seawater.
As soon as Lu Ping jumped into the small pool, he was attacked by two Water Asuras. However, they were only Asuras at the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm. Without Lu Ping having to do anything, the two Asuras were killed by the angry Samling.
The Water Shura was a ghost in the water, but the Emerald Sea Spirit Snake was also an overlord in the water. Although the Water Shura's strange invisibility ability became more powerful in the water, the Emerald Sea Spirit Snake's strength in the water was also a level higher, not to mention that the three spirits were at the Core Forging Stage.
However, after killing the two Water Asuras, Lu Ping and the others did not encounter any more sneak attacks from the Water Asuras. Lu Ping's eyes flashed with a green light as he constantly looked around. He also concentrated his Divine Telekinesis within a radius of more than 100 feet around him, carefully identifying the movement of the water. However, he still did not find any trace of the Water Asuras.
Could it be that the Water Asuras retreated on their own after Lu Ping and the others discovered this place and were unable to kill them?
The more Lu Ping thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Ever since the existence of the Ice Asuras was discovered on Frost Island, Lu Ping vaguely heard that some of the late Core Forging Realm cultivators from his sect often went out in secret. When they returned, the disciples of the sect found that they carried a murderous aura all over their bodies. Some of the late Core Forging Realm cultivators were inexplicably injured. When the disciples tried to ask about it, they were all sternly stopped by these late Core Forging Realm cultivators.
Not only Zhenling Sect, but it seemed that the ten great sects of the North Sea, as well as some large sects and clans like the Hai Yu Sect, all had rumors of late Core Forging Realm cultivators going out on secret missions. In the beginning, all the cultivators guessed that the North Sea cultivators were targeting the demon race, but there was no news from the demon race. Logically speaking, such a large-scale raid by late Core Forging Realm cultivators on the demon race would definitely be earth-shattering. However, both the human and demon races kept their mouths shut, causing other cultivators to be puzzled.
Could it be that these cultivators went out to search for the traces of the Asuras?
Thinking of the information he received about the Asuras from his teacher, Lu Ping had a faint guess in his heart. This was probably the reason why the Water Asuras had retreated. Once Lu Ping and the others retreated and sent the news back to the sect, perhaps there would be late Core Forging Realm cultivators coming to investigate. If the Water Asuras did not retreat, they would be greeted with a disaster.
Lu Ping continued to dive for dozens of feet, but still did not reach the bottom of the small pool. The pressure in the water was increasing. Although it was not far from Lu Ping's limit, Lu Ping had the Aqua Moon Pearl in hand, so he naturally would not waste his True Essence to resist the heavy pressure of the sea.
The Aqua Moon Pearl quietly hung above Lu Ping's head. The soft light like moonlight formed a colorful shield around Lu Ping's body. Following Lu Ping's thoughts, he continued to dive to the bottom of the sea.
After diving for nearly two thousand feet, Lu Ping was now more than three thousand feet away from the surface of the sea. Finally, he saw the bottom of the small pool.
At the narrow and rugged bottom, there was a pitch-black hole that was obviously newly opened. He did not know where it led to. This must be the reason why the Water Asuras were able to sneak into the Clear Stream Cave Abode. At this time, Lu Ping did not pay attention to the pitch-black hole. Instead, he focused on the other side of the bottom, on a slightly flatter ground that was filled with countless silt. There were obviously a few stone pillars here that were man-made, although it was difficult to see them because of the silt.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Ping pushed away the five feet thick silt. A small long-distance teleportation array with a radius of three feet appeared in front of Lu Ping.
Lu Ping sucked in a breath of cold air, his face filled with surprise and anticipation.
