Following the cavern tunnel, Lu Ping walked all the way to the spacious hall where they had found the underground abode all those years ago.
Back then, before the underground abode was discovered, the protective formation of the Qingjian Cave was still in operation, and the seawater was kept out of the hall. Now that the protective formation had collapsed, the entire Qingjian Cave had been flooded by seawater.
When Lu Ping had first arrived here, he had been puzzled as to why there were so many fragments of ritual implements in the hall. After receiving Qingjian Laozu's inheritance, he found out that Qingjian Laozu must have triggered the tribulation of the early Dharma stage when he was seriously injured. Only then did he "suddenly realize" that Qingjian Laozu had failed to pass the tribulation in the hall and his protective ritual implements had been destroyed by the lightning tribulation.
It was only after Lu Ping had witnessed the process of Laozu's tribulation that he realized that practitioners could not rely on ritual implements to pass the tribulation. They could only rely on their own inner Yuan, spells, powers, and physical strength to withstand the tribulation. Otherwise, it would interfere with the process of the tribulation and make things worse for the practitioner.
Lu Ping then realized that the countless fragments of the ritual implements in the hall were not destroyed by the lightning tribulation. Instead, they were destroyed by the residual power of the lightning tribulation after Qingjian Laozu had failed to pass the tribulation. This was also the reason why Qingjian Laozu had given his storage implements and the few treasures that he had inherited from Zhenling to Lu Ping in advance when he thought that he would not be able to survive the last two lightning tribulations of the mid Dharma stage. He was afraid that if Qingjian Laozu failed to pass the tribulation, not only would he die, but the items that he had brought with him would also be damaged by the residual power of the lightning tribulation.
However, at this time, Lu Ping was not in a hurry to rush to the Qingjian Cave through the underground tunnel of the hall. Instead, he was patrolling the hall in the middle of the mountain, as if looking for something.
Since Patriarch Clear Stream was a cultivator of the Ying Tian Sect, he was lucky enough to escape after the Ying Tian Sect was annihilated. He rushed to the North Sea to seek refuge with Fei Ling Sect, but he didn't expect that Fei Ling Sect would be annihilated almost at the same time. Helpless, he was invited by the Azure Sea Sect, who had secretly seen through his background, and became their honored guest.
The Cang Hai Sect wanted to obtain the inheritance treasures of the Ying Tian Sect and the Feiling Sect from him, but unexpectedly, they failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice. Not only did Qingjian Laozu escape from the Cang Hai Sect, but not long after Qingjian Laozu escaped from the Cang Hai Sect, the "Flowing Sword" of the "Thin Water Flowing Sword", a pair of flying swords passed down by the founder of the Cang Hai Sect, was also stolen.
Originally, the Cang Hai Sect thought that Laozu had stolen the Flowing Sword and joined forces with the cultivators of the sect to suppress him. Unexpectedly, they had no evidence, and under Qingjian Laozu's meticulous plan, they had angered the cultivators of the North Sea. In the end, they had only seriously injured Qingjian Laozu.
During this period of time, the Cang Hai Sect had been secretly taken advantage of by Laozu. He had snuck into the Cang Hai Sect and forcefully taken the "Thin Water Sword", causing the Cang Hai Sect to become the laughingstock of the North Sea cultivation world. As a result, the Cang Hai Sect had split up.
Although Qingjian Laozu had many alibis at the time to prove that he was not the one who stole the Flowing Sword, Lu Ping had always believed that the Flowing Sword of the Azure Sea Sect was actually stolen by Qingjian Laozu. Especially after knowing that Laozu was actually a disciple of the Ying Tian Sect, Lu Ping was even more convinced of his own judgment. He even suspected that this was a tacit cooperation between Qingjian Laozu and Laozu.
Of course, as the person involved and the victim, the Cang Hai Sect naturally believed it. Unfortunately, the Cang Hai Sect, which was already in internal strife, had no time to care about Qingjian Laozu. Qingjian Laozu seemed to be quite tactful and quickly disappeared from the North Sea cultivation world. In fact, it was because after being injured by Laozu of the Cang Hai Sect, there was almost no hope of recovery. Disheartened, he built the Qingjian Cave Abode at the bottom of the sea and lived in seclusion.
Lu Ping's current Divine Sense cultivation, eyesight, and insight were no longer the same as when he first entered the Qingjian Cave Abode.
Lu Ping walked around the hall and finally looked at the core of the abandoned water-proof formation in the middle of the hall.
Lu Ping walked to the core of the formation and suddenly stomped down. With a muffled "dong", it seemed like the entire mountain began to shake.
However, Lu Ping seemed to be unaware of it. He raised his foot and stomped down again.
"Dong", the ground creaked like a spider web with the core of the formation as the center. It seemed like the entire mountain was about to collapse.
However, Lu Ping did not look worried at this time. Instead, his face showed surprise. A cold light like autumn water flashed in the cracked core of the formation.
Lu Ping raised his foot and stomped down for the third time. Amidst the clanging sound, a three-foot-long sword hung upside down from the ground, and Lu Ping grabbed it in his hand.
Amidst the clanging sound, the long sword vibrated violently in Lu Ping's hand like a stream of water, trying to break free from Lu Ping's grasp.
However, how could Lu Ping let it do as it wished at this time. Suddenly, a rich bluish-purple Zhen Yuan rose in his hand, resolving the huge force brought by the vibration of the long sword. At the same time, the bluish-purple Zhen Yuan went straight into the long sword, intending to completely refine and subdue this flying sword.
The long sword was still trembling. However, when Lu Ping's bluish-purple Zhen Yuan wrapped around it, the long sword seemed to suddenly show a feeling of fear. The violent trembling was no longer to break free from Lu Ping's control, but instead seemed to be afraid of something.
However, although the long sword could no longer resist Lu Ping's control, it still stubbornly resisted the invasion of Lu Ping's Zhen Yuan. It seemed to know that once this bluish-purple Zhen Yuan invaded, it would lose its freedom again.
"Humph, a mere Sword Spirit dares to resist? As a famous Sword Spirit, it should fight for the world. If you continue to resist my Zhen Yuan refinement, I will seal you again, and we will talk about it again after four or five thousand years of darkness. If you surrender to me, I will make you a famous Sword Spirit in the world. What do you think?"
Lu Ping's Divine Sense wrapped around the entire long sword, and Lu Ping's thoughts were transmitted to the long sword over and over again.
Perhaps Lu Ping's vigorous Zhen Yuan broke through the resistance of the long sword, or perhaps Lu Ping's words were recognized by the long sword, but Lu Ping felt that the Zhen Yuan in his hand, which was originally blocked outside, suddenly seemed to flow into a bottomless pit.
However, Lu Ping's Quintessential Essence was extremely abundant. After the first wave of Quintessential Essence flowed into the sword, another wave of Quintessential Essence flowed into the sword through his bloodline that was like an endless river.
The long sword trembled violently again. This time, it was not resistance, not fear, but excitement. At this moment, Lu Ping finally received the long sword's recognition, and it was completely refined by Lu Ping.
Lu Ping held the long sword horizontally, and on the back of the sword were two ancient characters, "Flowing Flow". It really was the Flowing Sword!
The pair of flying swords used by Laozu, the founder of the Blue Sea Sect, were collectively known as the "Thin Water Flowing Sword". Perhaps this pair of flying swords were not the top magic treasures in the Blue Sea Sect, but they were the symbol of the Blue Sea Sect's magic treasures. Their status in the Blue Sea Sect was not lower than any of the magic treasures.
Lu Ping casually threw the Flowing Sword into the air. As he controlled the flying sword, he familiarized himself with the characteristics of the flying sword. However, he seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.
"Eight Treasure Seals. Didn't they say that the Thin Water Flowing Sword condensed seven Treasure Seals each, and the power of the two swords combined is no less than a spirit nurturing magic treasure with eight Treasure Seals?"
Lu Ping's divine sense entered the longsword again. Sure enough, there were eight seals carved on the sword's blade, and each seal was different. The Long Stream Sword was a spirit nurturing mystic treasure with eight seals carved on it!
However, this was not a big deal. The founder of the Blue Sea Sect might have really only condensed seven Treasure Seals on this pair of flying swords, and then the Blue Sea Sect had been teleported for thousands of years. How could it not have improved the two swords by another level?
At the same time, when fighting against an enemy, the Thin Water Unending Flow Sword, which originally only had seven Treasured Restrictions, suddenly unleashed the power of an eight Treasured Restrictions spirit nurturing magic treasure. This was undoubtedly a disaster for the enemy.
Or perhaps this was the work of Qingjian Laozu.
However, Lu Ping did not hope that the eighth Treasure Seal was condensed by Qingjian Laozu. The Thin Water Flowing Sword was a pair of flying swords, and the Treasure Seals condensed must be in pairs. Qingjian Laozu only stole the Flowing Sword, but the Thin Water Sword fell into the hands of Zhongxuan Laozu. If the Flowing Sword was condensed with a new Treasure Seal, but the Thin Water Sword did not, then when the two flying swords combined again, the power would be greatly reduced.
As for why Qingjian Laozu and Zhongxuan Laozu stole the Thin Water Flowing Sword, what secret was hidden in this pair of flying swords? It could actually cause the Blue Sea Sect to fall into a situation of division after losing the flying swords. Thousands of years later, when the Thin Water Sword was auctioned by the Blue Sea Sect, the Blue Sea Sect and the Blue Waves Sect were reunited.
Lu Ping examined the Flowing Sword for a long time, but he could not see what secret was hidden in it. This was probably only known by the Blue Sea Sect and the long dead Zhongxuan Laozu and Qingjian Laozu.
With the Flowing Sword, which was a Spirit Nurturing Treasure, plus the Ocean Crossing Boat and the Cloudlight Multicolored Robe, Lu Ping was even more confident about this trip to Middle Earth.
The entrance to the underground cave was already exposed when Lu Ping broke the floor of the hall. Lu Ping walked straight down, passed through the cave that had long become an underwater ruin, and came to an underground crack that used to be a pond. When Lu Ping dived to the bottom of the crack, the scenery around him had not changed at all, and this made Lu Ping's mind finally calm down.
With a flick of his long sleeves, the soil that covered the Teleportation Formation was lifted up, and the Teleportation Formation that was buried in the sea soil reappeared in front of Lu Ping.
After carefully examining the Teleportation Formation and making sure that it was not damaged, Lu Ping embedded 12 upper grade spirit stones on the edge of the Teleportation Formation. He suddenly activated the Teleportation Formation, but he had already retreated from the Teleportation Formation.
With a hum, the Teleportation Formation flashed with a faint light, and the 12 upper grade spirit stones all exploded. However, Lu Ping showed a happy expression.
"The Teleportation Formation needs both ends to be unobstructed. This test proves that the Teleportation Formation at the destination is also undamaged, so I can activate it without worry."
Lu Ping flipped his palm, and a simple and unadorned spirit stone appeared in Lu Ping's hand. After Celestial Phenomenon Laozu's reward and the battle on Frost Island, the number of top grade spirit stones in Lu Ping's hands had increased again. At this time, he already had almost twenty of them. However, to him, every time he used one, he would have one less. If it wasn't for the fact that he needed a top grade spirit stone to activate the Teleportation Formation to Middle Earth, he would definitely not be willing to use it.
After embedding the top grade spirit stone into the center of the Teleportation Formation disk, Lu Ping embedded another 36 upper grade spirit stones along the outside of the disk to form a circle.
Lu Ping took a deep breath, and looked back in the direction of Huang Li Island for some reason. Then, he decisively activated the Teleportation Formation.
A white light instantly appeared from the Teleportation Formation. Then, the light became brighter and brighter, and gradually, Lu Ping's figure was completely submerged in the light.
The white light lasted for about ten minutes before slowly dying out. At this time, Lu Ping's figure could no longer be seen in the Teleportation Formation. Only the sea soil around the Teleportation Formation and the sky fell down again, covering the Teleportation Formation disk with a thick layer of sea soil, as if nothing had happened.
