"Let's see how long you're going to hide for?"
Tian Qin muttered to herself as she stared at the peak of Tian Ling Mountain.
"Since when did I hide? It's just that junior sister didn't notice my arrival! "
Tian Qin Laozu suddenly raised her head and looked at the clouds in the sky. Unknowingly, the clouds in the sky had been dyed with a faint layer of blue, as if the thin white clouds had been soaked by the blue sky.
The Celestial Zither Ancestor's expression changed. With a cold snort, he rose into the air.
All of the divine senses in Tian Ling Mountain extended towards the sky along Tian Qin Laozu's figure. However, after a while, many rays of light once again appeared from various caves on Tian Ling Mountain and shot towards the sky. It was obvious that Tian Qin Laozu and Tian Ling Laozu were currently at a height that was beyond the range of most cultivators' divine senses.
Even Daoist Xuan Sen and the others beside Lu Ping could not resist the temptation of watching the battle between the two. They all released their bodies and rose into the sky. Only Lu Ping remained motionless as he watched everyone disappear into the clouds.
Li Xuanru, Zhao Xuanji, and Wang Xuanjing naturally wanted to watch as well. It was their teacher fighting. However, when the three looked down, they found that Lu Ping was still standing in the same place.
Wang Xuanjing's personality was the most lively. She asked, "Ninth junior brother, aren't you going to watch the battle between teacher and Tian Qin?"
Lu Ping shook his head with a smile and said, "Senior martial sisters, please go ahead first. I'm sure the battle between teacher and Martial Uncle Tianqin won't end well, so I won't be going. Besides, I still have something that Senior Martial Granduncle Tian Xiang ordered me to do. I need to complete it first!"
When the three heard that Lu Ping had Tian Xiang Laozu's order, they thought about how Lu Ping had stayed in Tian Xiang Laozu's cave for half a day. They did not suspect anything and flew towards the sky.
"Rumble!"
There seemed to be a thunderclap in the clear sky.
When Lu Ping looked up, he saw many Core Forging Realm cultivators scurrying around like headless flies in the sky the moment the thunder rumbled.
Lu Ping secretly sneered. The battle between two Dharma adepts was not something an ordinary person could watch. Without the strength of a late Core Forging adept and keeping a certain distance, just the aftermath of the battle between two Dharma adepts could seriously injure a mid Core Forging adept.
After the first thunderclap, a series of explosions rang out. At this time, Lu Ping had already flown to the peak of Tian Ling Mountain. When he looked up again, the sky had clearly been divided into two parts.
One part had turned blue, like the sea floating in the sky. The other part had turned into a rainbow-colored field of fire, almost burning the sky into glass.
The peak of Tian Ling Mountain was covered by an invisible barrier. This was the most important place in Zhenling's base camp. Zhenling's large spirit veins were nurtured here. Zhenling's Sect-Protecting Formation also used the peak of Tian Ling Mountain as the eye of the formation. All of Zhenling's Dharma powers, Laozu, had set up their cave abodes on the peak of Tian Ling Mountain. When some of the sect's elite disciples wanted to break through to the next level, they would often go into seclusion at the peak of the mountain, where the spirit veins were the densest, with the approval of the Laozu.
Lu Ping flipped his palm, and a white jade token appeared in Lu Ping's hand. Lu Ping injected a faint golden essential core into the white jade token.
The white jade token was stimulated by Lu Ping's essential core. It suddenly flew up from his hand and suddenly expanded, forming a white jade door on the invisible barrier that only allowed one person to enter and exit.
Lu Ping quickly passed through the door, and the white jade door disappeared.
As soon as Lu Ping passed through the door, his body was surrounded by a dense spirit energy. Lu Ping took a deep breath of the spirit energy and found that although the spirit energy at the peak of Tian Ling Mountain was not as dense as the secret land where Long Huai was in in the Fallen Islands, it was similar to the spirit energy in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven.
However, how big was the peak of Tian Ling Mountain compared to the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven? It was not comparable at all. Even so, this large spirit vein was enough for Zhenling's current needs. However, as Zhenling's strength grew, the number of Transcendence Realm cultivators increased, and the number of Core Forging Realm cultivators kept increasing. This spirit vein, which was equivalent to gathering three large spirit veins at most in Lu Ping's opinion, was starting to feel a little inadequate.
Tian Xiang Laozu hid on Jingzhe Island, Tian Kang Laozu replaced Tian Xue Laozu and went to Huan Yu Island, Tian Jiang Laozu replaced Tian Ling Laozu to guard the medium-sized spirit mine on Frost Island, and Tian Lin Laozu guarded Huang Li Island. Although they had their own duties, they were also leaving Tian Ling Mountain to reduce the consumption of Tian Ling Mountain's spirit vein and provide more spirit energy to other cultivators for their cultivation.
When Lu Ping entered the peak, he realized that the peak of Tian Ling Mountain was covered with trees. The ground was covered with countless spirit herbs and spirit materials. There were only a few winding paths that connected to a few ordinary-looking doors. These eight doors were the cave residences of Zhenling's eight Transcendence Realm cultivators other than Tian Qin Laozu.
These cave residences had their own mysteries, just like Liu Tianling Laozu's door. It was just that one door was connected to the peak of the mountain using a spatial spell to absorb the pure spirit energy from the peak of the mountain for cultivation. If something big happened in Zhenling, the few Laozu could also directly meet up at Tian Ling Mountain through the door. Their real cave residences were still in the same place as before.
For example, Liu Tianling's cave was still in the Chong Hua Palace on Lake Heart Island, Tianlu Laozu's cave was always in the back mountain of the Pill Pavilion, and so on.
At the center of the peak of Tian Ling Mountain was a hall that was even more magnificent than the Tian Ling Palace. This was the most important place of Zhenling, the True Spirit Hall!
This hall was the largest magic treasure of Zhenling, and it was also the most important place of inheritance. The magic treasure was directly connected to the spirit vein of Tian Ling Mountain. At the same time, it was also the main hub of Zhenling's sect protection formation. It was also the place where the few Zhenling Laozu discussed important matters of the sect.
Lu Ping turned around the True Spirit Hall, and there were a few small cave residences behind it. These cave residences were provided by Zhenling for the elite disciples of Zhenling who were eager to break through.
Lu Ping's purpose of coming to the peak of Tian Ling Mountain was to cultivate in one of the cave residences. He wanted to break through to the late stage of Core Forging with the help of the large spirit vein of Tian Ling Mountain.
However, after Lu Ping turned around the True Spirit Palace, he was surprised to see a cultivator standing outside a cave-dwelling not far away, looking up at the changing clouds in the sky.
The cultivator also noticed Lu Ping when he turned around, and when he saw Lu Ping, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Lu Ping quickly bowed and said happily, "Greetings, Uncle-Master Xuanshan. Congratulations on becoming a Dharma adept and becoming the tenth Laozu of our sect!"
This cultivator was Perfected Guo Xuanshan. Years ago, with the help of the Spirit Forging Pill that Lu Ping had obtained from Tian Ling Mountain, he had successfully condensed a seventh-grade Golden Core. After ten years of dedicated cultivation, he had finally broken through to the Dharma stage and became the tenth Zhenling disciple, and the fourth Dharma adept of the second generation.
Perfected Guo Xuanshan, now known as Guo Tianshan Laozu, saw Lu Ping appear at the peak of Tian Ling Mountain. Although he was a little puzzled, he still smiled and said, "Originally, only Laozu knew that I had broken through to the Dharma stage. I didn't expect you to find out today. I heard that you went to the East Sea with Junior Xuansen, and now that Junior Sister Tianqin has returned, you must have returned with her, right? But how did you enter the peak of Tian Ling Mountain? "
Lu Ping heard Guo Tianshan Laozu's previous words and knew that Guo Tianshan Laozu did not want Lu Ping to spread the news that he had entered the Dharma stage. However, he had come to Tian Ling Mountain to train in seclusion, and he would not be able to break through to the late Core Forging stage without a few years' time. Thus, he answered, "I did something wrong in the East Sea and was punished by Uncle-Master Tianxiang to reflect against the wall here. I guess I won't be able to get out for a few years."
Guo Tianshan Laozu smiled and said, "You're really lucky. You don't know how many cultivators in our sect would like to be punished like you."
Lu Ping smiled and did not reply. Although it was a punishment to reflect against the wall, it also depended on the location. Lu Ping's punishment was actually a reward in name.
This kind of thing was not uncommon in Zhenling. Sometimes, reflecting against the wall was just a way for Zhenling to hide from others and avoid gossip. It was just like when Sage Xuan Shu schemed against Huang Li Island and was caught by Jiang Tianlin. After that, he was humiliated by Lu Ping when he tried to capture Yin Xuanchu. Under Jiang Tianlin's instigation, he lost his position as a law enforcement disciple. Finally, with Tianfan Laozu's help, he was punished to reflect against the wall. In reality, he was also training in seclusion at the peak of Tian Ling Mountain, with the intention of making a comeback after becoming a Dharma adept.
The battle between Tian Ling Laozu and Tian Qin Laozu continued. In the sky, the rainbow-colored fire cloud and the blue water screen had already intertwined. Countless fire balls and water screens rained down, smashing into the protective shield of Tian Ling Mountain and creating ripples. This caused some of the low-level cultivators who were watching the battle to cry out in surprise.
Guo Tianshan Laozu looked at the two people fighting in the sky and sighed. "I didn't expect Senior Sister Tian Ling and Junior Sister Tian Qin to have already reached this stage. We're both early Dharma adepts, but I'm not as good as the two of them!"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Uncle-Master? Teacher and Uncle-Master Tian Qin have already broken through to the Dharma stage for many years, maybe even decades. Uncle-Master has only just broken through to the Dharma stage, and without the accumulation of time, it's normal for you to be a little weaker. After a few years, Uncle-Master will familiarize himself with the early Dharma stage, and by then, Uncle-Master may not be weaker than Teacher and Uncle-Master Tian Qin."
True Master Guo Tianshan waved his hand and said, "You don't understand. Not to mention the fact that both of them have formed eighth-grade Golden Elixirs, even if both of them had formed seventh-grade Golden Elixirs like me, I would still not be a match for either of them. Both of them are geniuses among the second generation disciples, second only to Senior Brother Tianlin. Not only did they have their own opportunities, but they are also extremely hardworking. People like Uncle-Master can't compare to people like them."
