The Transmitting Formation was small because it could only transport one cultivator at a time. The Transmitting Formation was a long-distance one because its destination was the cultivation world of the Central Region, which Lu Ping had been longing for for a long time.
Lu Ping cleaned up the Transmitting Formation completely. He found that although it had been there for thousands of years, the Transmitting Formation was still in good condition. Judging from the traces of the Transmitting Formation's construction, it was obviously the work of Qingjian Laozu. And Qingjian Laozu was actually a cultivator from the Central Region.
Lu Ping suppressed his ecstasy and carefully examined the Transmitting Formation to see if it could still be used. The result was obviously to Lu Ping's satisfaction, but it also made his heart ache. There were a total of 13 grooves on the ground of the Transmitting Formation that needed to be inlaid with spirit stones. In addition to the surrounding twelve grooves, which needed twelve top-grade spirit stones, the most central groove needed a top-grade spirit stone. In other words, when Lu Ping went to the Central Region alone, he would need a top-grade spirit stone and twelve top-grade spirit stones, not to mention the return trip.
A top-grade spirit stone was something that could only be used by Dharma Laozu. Lu Ping now had a top-grade spirit stone in his possession, which was enough for him to go to the Central Region once. But Lu Ping did not know when he would get a second top-grade spirit stone. Although the Central Region was known as the holy land of the cultivation world, top-grade spirit stones were not common among Core Forging cultivators.
Although Lu Ping was filled with yearning for the cultivation world in the Central Plains, he couldn't just leave before he was fully prepared.
Thinking of this, Lu Ping went to another direction at the bottom of the small pool. Samling had entered the cave that the Water Shura had opened up while Lu Ping was cleaning up the Transmitting Formation. At this moment, with Samling's speed, he would have swum dozens of miles away if he had not been attacked by the Water Shura.
Just as Lu Ping arrived at the entrance of the cave, Lu Linger had already returned from the entrance and said something to Lu Ping. Lu Ping was quite surprised. He immediately returned to the Transmitting Formation and covered it up with the mud at the bottom of the pool. Even the conspicuous stone pillars were disguised by Lu Ping.
According to Lu Linger's explanation, it seemed that there was a lair of the Water Shura at the other end of the tunnel, but it was currently being surrounded.
Lu Ping suddenly understood. No wonder all the Water Shura in the underground cave suddenly retreated. Previously, when Lu Ping entered the small pool, he was only attacked by two Water Shura at the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm. It turned out that they were not afraid of being surrounded by human cultivators again, but because their lair was being attacked.
Lu Ping thought for a moment, then took out a set of armor from his storage ring. It was actually a simple set of armor made of stone. He put it on and put Lu Linger into the House of Gold.
This set of stone armor was made from two mysterious stone slabs that Lu Ping had taken down from the entrance of the Land of Hundred Flowers in the Perished Mystery Land. These two stone slabs had the magical effect of blocking cultivators' divine sense. Lu Ping once wanted to give them to Chen Lian to forge a set of magic tools that could block cultivators' divine sense. Unfortunately, Chen Lian did not know what these two stone slabs were, so he could not forge them. In the end, he could only make a simple set of stone armor out of one of the two large stone slabs, which Lu Ping used to wear. The other piece was still in Chen Lian's hands. He wanted to see if he could find another way to forge it into a magic tool.
The pitch-black underwater cave led to dozens of miles away. It took Lu Ping a lot of effort to walk out of the tunnel. The faint rumbling of spells coming from the seawater made Lu Ping feel that the encirclement of the Water Shura was coming to an end.
Lu Qing and Lu Hai, who were waiting at the entrance of the cave, briefly explained the situation to Lu Ping. Lu Ping also put them into the House of Gold. Then, following the complicated underwater terrain, he quietly sneaked in the direction of the battle.
When Lu Ping sneaked near the battlefield, the battle was already over. Only two figures were left. When Lu Ping looked at them, his heart was pounding. Lu Ping knew one of them, while the other looked to be in his thirties. Although Lu Ping did not know the other cultivator, what he said scared Lu Ping.
The cultivator said casually, "Brother-in-law, how is my nephew?"
The other person was none other than the Zhenling Immortal, Li Xuanyin. He said coldly, "Chu 'er is fine. You don't have to worry about this."
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. Yin Zichu was actually the son of Li Xuanyin. Why did no one in the sect know that? Why was Yin Zichu's surname Yin and not Li?
Lu Ping knew that he might have accidentally uncovered some secret of his sect's senior.
The Friar seemed to have expected Li Xuanyin's reaction. He just smiled and said, "I think the human race has already discovered the appearance of the Water Shura. Brother-in-law, I'm afraid you came here to purposely exterminate the Water Shura Tribe, right?"
The Friar seemed to know that Li Xuanyin couldn't be bothered to answer such questions. He just said to himself, "I didn't expect to meet you here. Speaking of which, you and I haven't seen each other for fifty years since my sister passed away."
Although Li Xuanyin didn't say anything, Lu Ping still saw a flash of sadness in Li Xuanyin's eyes when the cultivator mentioned "my sister passed away".
"If there's nothing else, I need to return to the sect."
Li Xuanyin obviously didn't want to say anything more to the cultivator in front of him. The water under his feet surged, and his body slowly floated to the surface of the sea.
"Wait!" The cultivator shouted and said, "Li Xuanyin, do you still remember my sister's death?"
Li Xuanyin, who was about to leave, stopped abruptly in the sea. He said to the cultivator coldly, "The death of my wife is absolutely irreconcilable!"
"Fine!" The cultivator laughed coldly. "Why do you think I'm here?"
Li Xuanyin's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "You came specially to find me?"
The cultivator nodded and said, "Although it's really difficult to find your whereabouts and my previous guesses failed several times, I finally guessed it this time."
"Speak!" Li Xuanyin said coldly.
The cultivator seemed to know what Daoist Li Xuanyin meant. He nodded and his lips moved as if he was saying something. Daoist Li Xuanyin just stood there with a bleak expression. After the cultivator finished speaking, Daoist Li Xuanyin raised his head and nodded.
The cultivator seemed to be very happy and said, "Although it's dangerous this time, if we plan it properly, we might have a chance to kill him. Besides, in terms of stealth and assassination, how many people in the North Sea can compare to brother-in-law?"
Li Xuanyin didn't comment. Li Xuanyin smiled bitterly. "I really don't know why my sister fell for a boring weirdo like you."
Seeing that the cultivator had finished speaking, Li Xuanyin directly said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
After saying that, he ignored the cultivator and went straight to the surface of the sea.
After Reverend Li Xuanyin left, the cultivator continued to stand there. It was unknown what he was thinking. After a while, the cultivator released a long sigh and shook his head. He mumbled something to himself and his figure flashed across the ocean before disappearing into the ocean.
In the distance, under a small trench, Lu Ping, clad in his stone armor, hid in the seaweed and remained motionless. After a while, Lu Ping's pupils abruptly shrank. The figure that had just disappeared suddenly reappeared in the same spot. The cultivator looked around to make sure he wasn't discovered. Then, he came to a valley in an underwater mountain range and cleared out a small teleportation array in a corner of the seaweed.
The cultivator inserted a few spirit stones into the teleportation formation plate, and the teleportation formation flashed with light. The cultivator then disappeared from the teleportation formation. The seaweed that the cultivator had stirred up from the bottom of the sea fell back down, once again covering up the small teleportation formation.
Lu Ping stood up from the seaweed and looked at the battlefield that had been turned into a mess by the annihilation of the Water Shura. He then cleaned out the small teleportation formation that the cultivator had used previously. After a careful look, he found that the teleportation formation's furthest distance was only five thousand miles, but he didn't know where it would be teleported to.
Why would this person build a teleportation formation here? If this teleportation formation had existed before the establishment of the Water Shura's lair that had just been annihilated, then it would be fine. However, if this teleportation formation was built after the establishment of the Water Shura's lair, then this matter was worth discussing.
Lu Ping thought about it. He didn't know if he should inform Immortal Li Xuanyin about this teleportation formation, so he simply ignored him. Lu Ping returned from the cave to the small pool in the cave mansion and then tried to perform the Art of Changing Seas and Mulberry Fields. Although it was far from the level of changing seas and mulberry fields, it was enough to collapse the passage that connected to the outside.
Lu Ping returned to the hall in the belly of the mountain. At this moment, including the underground cave mansion, the entire dojo that Qingjian Laozu had opened had been submerged in the seawater. Lu Ping closed the passage on the ground of the hall in the belly of the mountain and then came out from the cave entrance in the middle of the underwater mountain range. After covering up the cave entrance again, he broke through the sea surface and flew towards Huan Yu Island.
Upon reaching the Snow Mist Palace, Lu Ping went to pay a visit to Tian Xue Laozu and told her about his experience in the cave mansion. Then, he passed Qingjian Laozu's inheritance and the formula for the Vitality Dew to Tian Xue Laozu.
Tian Xue Laozu said happily, "Not bad. This Qingjian Laozu was a rather famous figure in the North Sea back then. It's just that his temperament was similar to Tianlin's, he was also like a wild crane that lived a leisurely life. It's not bad that he didn't want to leave behind an inheritance. A middle stage Dharma cultivation technique in our sect is only one grade lower than the five true inheritances. And this Vitality Dew, although we have the formula for the Five Years Longevity Pill, this Vitality Dew is also a formula for the longevity pill that our sect has never collected before. This time, Junior Brother Tian Kang has more confidence. "
From Tian Xue Laozu's words of 'more confidence', Lu Ping could tell that Senior Uncle Tian Kang's injuries weren't as it seemed on the surface. However, Lu Ping didn't know what was going on and could only ponder about it in private.
Just as Lu Ping was about to bid farewell, Tian Xue Laozu said, "You should return to Tianling Mountain first. The people from the five great sects of the East Sea have already arrived at our sect to discuss the matter of the overseas cultivators joining forces to fight against the Demon Race. The five great sects of the East Sea are truly great sects that can be compared to the great sects of the Middle Earth. They aren't something that our North Sea's ten great sects can compare to. This time, some of the elite disciples from the five great sects are here to spar with our sect's Core Forging Realm cultivators who are below a hundred years old. It's said that Xuan Ling Sect only won three out of ten matches. You'll be there to hold the line. If our sect can win four matches, then it'll be fine.
