The battle of Frost Island was destined to make the two famous in the North Sea cultivation world. One was naturally Zhenling's third generation disciple, number one on the North Sea Rookie Ranking, and the proud disciple of Zhenling's first sect master, Liu Tianling Laozu, pill master Spiritual Master Lu Xuanping.
During the great battle of Frost Island, this Spiritual Master had used his sealed cultivation at the sixth level of the Core Forging Realm to defeat Xuan Ling Sect's genius sword cultivator, Ouyang Weijian, who was ranked second on the Rookie Ranking with the Great River Flows East sword art. This had cemented his position as the strongest third generation disciple of the North Sea cultivation world.
After that, he killed a seventh-stage Core Forging cultivator from the Azure Sea Sect. However, what was even more shocking was that during the battle against Zhen Ling Sect, Enlightened Master Lu Xuanping, who had just broken through to the seventh-stage Core Forging realm, fought against Enlightened Master Zhang Xiyi from the Azure Sea Sect, who truly represented the peak of the North Sea's Core Forging realm.
Although Perfected Lu Xuanping was at a disadvantage in this battle, Perfected Zhang Xiyi could not do anything to Perfected Lu Xuanping. After this battle, the title of "Water Sword Immortal" was well deserved and was no longer limited to the younger generation of cultivators in the North Sea cultivation world.
The second famous person was Zhenling's formation master, Spiritual Master Xuan Chen. The Great Profound Ice Formation she set up on Frost Island allowed Zhenling's side to firmly defend the medium sized spirit mine under Zhenling's feet with less than half the strength of the other six sects. This prevented the other six sects from successfully suppressing Zhenling by seizing the spirit mine.
The most special thing about the Great Profound Ice Formation was that in a battle of great disparity in strength in the cultivation world, the weaker side could only rely on the power of the formation to passively defend.
In the past, when two sides fought, if there was a great disparity in strength, the weaker side could only passively defend inside the formation. Once they attacked, it was very likely that they would be surrounded and attacked. Therefore, the weaker side rarely had the chance to turn defeat into victory.
However, the Mystical Ice Formation that Spiritual Master Xuan Chen had designed greatly alleviated the predicament of the defending side. Although a cultivator could not leave the Mystical Ice Formation to fight from a distance, they could freely enter and exit the Mystical Ice Formation and fight with the enemy under the protection of the Mystical Ice Formation. This greatly weakened the advantage of the attacking side, giving the weaker side another trump card to turn defeat into victory.
Unfortunately, this magic array was the creation of the current cultivation world's Sage Xuanchen. Even if the other sects wanted to learn it, they would not be able to.
In fact, the moment the Mystical Ice Shield appeared, the cultivators from Xuan Ling Sect and Cang Hai Sect quickly discovered that the only flaw of the Mystical Ice Shield was the spiritual energy threads that maintained it. As long as the spiritual energy threads were cut, the Mystical Ice Shield would not be able to sustain itself without the spiritual energy supply from the Mystical Ice Formation.
Of course, the defending side naturally wouldn't let the opponent succeed so easily. Moreover, the threads of spiritual power weren't that easy to cut. At the very least, the threads of spiritual power behind a Transcendence Stage cultivator couldn't be cut by a Mid Core Forging Stage cultivator.
Because of the protection of the Mystical Ice Shield, Lu Ping had an additional protective talisman that was no less powerful than a spirit summoning treasure. This allowed Lu Ping to face Zhang Xiyi's storm-like attacks, reducing the pressure on his defense by a lot. This allowed Lu Ping to find the right time to counterattack. Relying on his exquisite swordsmanship, the Golden Scale Sword, and the Aqua Sword, he was able to temporarily restrain Zhang Xiyi's attacks.
The Water-Controlling Flag fluttered in the wind above Lu Ping's head. White lotus flowers floated down from the water curtain hanging down from the flag. Combined with the Mystical Ice Shield, each lotus flower was able to withstand a sudden attack from Zhang Xiyi's sharp blade.
Lu Ping, who no longer had to worry about his defense, unleashed his swordsmanship with the Water Nether Sword and the Golden Scale Sword to the extreme, launching a battle with Zhang Xiyi that could be said to be at the peak of the Core Forging Realm.
The Great River Flows East Sword Technique, the Hundred Rivers Flow Into the Sea Sword Technique, the True Qi Sword Technique, the Torrent of Sword Technique, the Green Dragon Disturbing the Sea Sword Technique, the Shapeless Sword Technique, and so on. Each of these sword techniques was at least at the level of a minor magical power, especially the Shapeless Sword Technique. After the Aqua Sword's quality had risen to the level of a spirit summoning treasure, the power of the Shapeless Sword Technique had gone a step further. In Lu Ping's hands, the power of the Shapeless Sword Technique was no weaker than a great magical power sword technique. However, because of the innate strangeness of the Shapeless Sword Technique, the power of the Shapeless Sword Technique was weaker than a real great magical power sword technique.
In addition, there were various swordsmanship techniques that Lu Ping had studied and learned, and their power was also quite impressive. Although there was still a gap between them and a real great magical power sword technique, Lu Ping was able to use these sword techniques under the most appropriate circumstances, and he was able to achieve an effect that was similar to a great magical power sword technique.
The more Zhang Xiyi fought, the more shocked he became. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Lu Ping's current achievements were already comparable to those of a true grandmaster swordsman. Zhang Xiyi was able to suppress Lu Ping only because he had a much higher level of cultivation than Lu Ping. Furthermore, Zhang Xiyi could feel that once Lu Ping advanced to the eighth stage of the Core Forging Stage, the one who would be suppressed would be Zhang Xiyi himself.
Who was Zhang Xiyi? He was a person who could take a blow from a Dharma adept as a peak Core Forging Stage adept and come out unscathed. How many people like that were there in the North Sea, and how many in the entire world of cultivation?
Zhang Xiyi had the intention to kill Lu Ping. Killing Lu Ping might mean killing Zhenling's future powerful adept. However, Zhang Xiyi had to admit that at this moment, he no longer had the ability to kill Lu Ping. Even without the Dark Ice Shield, with Lu Ping's strength, Zhang Xiyi would not be able to stop him if he wanted to leave.
Zhang Xiyi could call for help from other adepts to encircle and kill Lu Ping, but Zhang Xiyi could not bring himself to be so thick-skinned. Not to mention Zhang Xiyi's status in the North Sea cultivation world, just Lu Ping's identity as a third generation disciple alone made Zhang Xiyi's face burn. Moreover, Lu Ping was not a fool. Once Zhang Xiyi called for help, would he wait for others to encircle and attack him?
Just as Zhang Xiyi was racking his brains on how to make Lu Ping stay, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that Shui Wuhuan, the Spiritual Master of Shui Yan Pavilion, was fighting with Zhenling, a late Core Forging Stage adept. Intentionally or unintentionally, he was constantly moving closer to the area where the two were fighting.
Ever since the battle between Lu Ping and Zhang Xiyi, although the spiritual energy storm caused by their battle couldn't affect the other cultivators like Transcendence cultivators, the power of their sword techniques still caused some weaker cultivators to hide far away, leaving the battlefield between Zhang Xiyi and Lu Ping completely empty.
Zhang Xiyi's heart moved and he suddenly remembered a rumor from decades ago in the cultivation world. It was said that when Liu Tianling had just become a Transcendence cultivator, he once took revenge for his disciple, Lu Xuanping, and destroyed a great ability that Shui Wuhuan had painstakingly cultivated.
Finding Liu Tianling for revenge, Shui Wuhuan naturally didn't even think about it. At this moment, Shui Wuhuan was taking advantage of the chaotic battle to get closer and closer to the battlefield. Her goal was naturally self-evident.
Zhang Xiyi was just worrying about how to use others to surround and kill Lu Ping, so seeing Shui Wuhuan like this was exactly what he wanted. Looking at Lu Ping who was focused on attacking him, Zhang Xiyi pulled himself together and threw himself into the battle with Lu Ping with all his strength.
He had to attract all of his attention, only then would Shui Wuhuan have the chance to succeed in her sneak attack!
Ever since Shui Wuhuan's great ability was destroyed by Liu Tianling, her cultivation foundation had been greatly damaged. In these past few years, Shui Wuhuan's cultivation could be said to have stagnated. She had been working hard to repair her foundation, hoping that there would be a chance for her to enter the Transcendence stage in the future.
Shui Wuhuan's hatred towards Zhenling could be said to be unforgettable. This time, when all the sects of Frost Island joined forces to encircle and kill Zhenling, Shui Wuhuan didn't care that her cultivation hadn't fully recovered and insisted on following her sect's Misty Laozu to Frost Island. She wanted to take the opportunity to kill a few cultivators of Zhenling and also vent the resentment in her heart. However, she didn't expect that the person who had almost destroyed her cultivation all those years ago had also come to Frost Island.
Ever since she discovered Lu Ping, Shui Wuhuan deliberately hid her figure to prevent Lu Ping from noticing her. However, what shocked Shui Wuhuan was that in just a few decades, Lu Ping's cultivation had already reached a level that left Shui Wuhuan dumbfounded.
How many Core Forging Stage cultivators in the North Sea Cultivation World could fight evenly with Zhang Xiyi? At least, Shui Wuhuan knew that she couldn't do it, and after her great ability was destroyed by Liu Tianling, she couldn't do it anymore.
She couldn't let this kid grow any further. This person must die!
Shui Wuhuan's thoughts coincided with Zhang Xiyi's at this moment, and they were highly similar, even more so than Zhang Xiyi's.
Zhang Xiyi watched as Zhang Xiyi intentionally or unintentionally changed her position, gradually exposing Lu Ping's back to Spiritual Master Shui Wuhuan's eyes during the battle with Lu Ping.
Seeing that Spiritual Master Shui Wuhuan had suddenly broken away from the Zhenling cultivators she was fighting and was rushing towards Lu Ping's back, Zhang Xiyi didn't hold back anymore. Her figure suddenly exploded, and the two sharp blades formed a whirlwind of blades in the air, just like how she had blocked Guo Tianshan and Laozu's divine arts before, and pierced towards Lu Ping's profound ice barrier.
Shui Wuhuan was overjoyed. The Water Mist Muslin in her hand shot out, and like a spirit snake, it shot towards Lu Ping's body to bind him.
However, what the two of them didn't know was that, in terms of cultivation, Lu Ping was the weakest of the three. In terms of strength, Lu Ping couldn't compare to Zhang Xiyi, but in terms of divine sense cultivation, the two of them were far beyond Lu Ping's reach. Even Zhang Xiyi's peak Core Forging cultivation wasn't enough. With such a divine sense cultivation, Lu Ping could see everything around him, so how could he not discover the sneaky Shui Wuhuan behind him?
The reason why he pretended not to discover her was because Lu Ping had a bold idea: he wanted to use this opportunity to kill Shui Wuhuan in one fell swoop!
Just when Shui Wuhuan thought that under her and Zhang Xiyi's joint attack, Lu Ping would definitely be seriously injured, she saw the moment her Water Mist Muslin bound Lu Ping, Lu Ping's entire body suddenly turned into a ball of flowing water.
Shit, I've been tricked!
Shui Wuhuan panicked, and then she heard a sudden clap of thunder above her head!
