Lu Ping and Dabao turned around a sand dune that had been struck by the lightning and saw a long and narrow lake in front of them.
Lu Ping looked at the lake in front of him and felt that something was strange. Dabao said, "Don't desert areas with water often form oases? Why is there only a lake and sand here?"
Lu Ping suddenly realized what was wrong. This lake suddenly appeared in the desert, but there were no plants growing around it. It was still a desert of white sand. There were no ripples on the surface of the lake. The entire lake gave off a feeling that there was not a trace of life. On the contrary, there was a feeling of death.
Just as Lu Ping lifted his foot to walk in the direction of the lake, another thunderbolt fell from the sky, falling directly on top of Lu Ping's head.
This time, Lu Ping saw it clearly. The thunderbolt that suddenly appeared in the sky came from the center of the calm lake in front of him.
Lu Ping directly put the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash on top of his head. When the thunderbolt hit the mouth of the calabash, it seemed to be attracted by something. In an instant, it disappeared into the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash. It didn't affect Lu Ping in the slightest.
Lu Ping took two more steps forward. Two more thunderbolts sounded in the sky. Two green thunderbolts fell on top of Lu Ping's head, but they were easily dissolved by the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash.
At this point, Lu Ping finally understood why an oasis couldn't be formed around the lake. A certain treasure in the lake had already claimed the area around the lake as its territory. Once a living being trespassed into the area, the treasure would be able to kill the living being with lightning bolts.
Lu Ping took two more steps toward the lake. At this time, there were three thunderbolts falling from the sky. They hit Lu Ping's head almost at the same time.
However, Lu Ping had the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash in hand, so he didn't care about this level of attack.
But after Lu Ping took a few more steps forward, five thunderbolts sounded in the sky almost at the same time. When the five thunderbolts fell, they intertwined with each other in the air, unexpectedly forming an even larger blue thunderbolt.
Lu Ping looked at the thunderbolt falling from the sky and his expression became slightly serious. This time, the power of the thunderbolt had already exceeded the power of an ordinary minor magical ability.
A minor magical ability was naturally nothing to the current Lu Ping. However, at this time, Lu Ping was still several feet away from the lake. Now, a minor magical ability had already appeared. If Lu Ping were to go deeper, would the treasure hidden in the lake use an even more tyrannical magical ability to block Lu Ping's invasion?
The Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash was worthy of being called a supreme magic treasure for controlling lightning. Lu Ping directly suspended the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash above his head and walked all the way to the edge of the lake. The thunderbolts in the sky became more and more concentrated. There were constantly intertwining thunderbolts falling on top of Lu Ping's head, but they were easily dissolved by the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash.
However, as Lu Ping continued to go deeper and closer to the lake, the thunderbolts in the sky suddenly disappeared.
Lu Ping was unable to adapt. When he looked up, he saw a purple thunderbolt streaking across the sky. It seemed silent, but in fact, it was directly falling on top of Lu Ping's head.
This purple thunderbolt, Lu Ping could clearly feel the huge power contained within it. This was a thunderbolt technique that was no less powerful than a great magical ability!
What kind of treasure was hidden in the lake? It could actually summon a great magical ability to protect itself out of thin air!
Lu Ping slowly rose into the sky, and a huge Ninth Grade Lotus bloomed under his feet. This time, the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash didn't try to devour this thunderbolt. Instead, it spat out a purple thunderbolt, and the two thunderbolts collided in opposite directions.
There was no earth-shattering explosion like he had imagined. After the two thunderbolts met in midair, they began to annihilate each other. However, what surprised Lu Ping was that the purple thunderbolt emitted from the lake actually surpassed the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash's great magical ability, the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash. After the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash's purple thunderbolt was completely annihilated, the remaining purple thunderbolt bypassed the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash and struck towards Lu Ping's body.
The Ninth Grade White Jade Lotus under Lu Ping's feet bloomed layer by layer. This weakened purple thunderbolt was only able to penetrate two layers of Lotus Aura Qi before it was completely consumed by the third layer.
After emitting this purple thunderbolt, the thing hidden in the lake seemed to have consumed a lot of its energy. Lu Ping walked directly to the edge of the lake, but there was no more thunderbolt falling from the sky.
Lu Ping's eyes glowed with a blue light, trying to see through the body of the thing hidden in the lake. However, just as Lu Ping used the Three Pure True Pupils, a dazzling brilliance suddenly burst out from the bottom of the lake. Lu Ping's eyes hurt, and with a muffled groan, he tightly closed his eyes. However, tears were already flowing down his cheeks.
After a moment, Lu Ping slowly opened his eyes, and secretly thought that it was a close call. Just now, he was careless, and his magical ability was almost broken by the thing at the bottom of the lake.
However, what exactly was the thing at the bottom of the lake? This aroused Lu Ping's curiosity even more.
Lu Ping slowly squatted down and stretched out his finger to explore the lake. A numb and even tingling feeling spread from Lu Ping's fingertips to his forearm.
Lu Ping's eyes showed surprise. The power of thunder and lightning carried by this lake was obviously because of the treasure hidden in the depths of the lake, and after being diluted by this lake, with Lu Ping's current physical strength, he could still feel such a clear tingling pain. This more and more proved that the thing hidden in the lake was not simple.
What exactly is in the lake?
Lu Ping reached out and pointed at the lake, and a clear stream of water rolled up from the lake. Lu Ping's hand gesture changed, and the "North Sea Twelve Techniques" Water Control Technique was launched. This stream of water meandered on the lake, and gradually formed an undercurrent in the lake that was enough to stir up the entire lake.
Under the seemingly calm lake, the surging undercurrent allowed Lu Ping and Lu Ping's sense of touch to explore every corner of the lake. However, when Lu Ping controlled the water to gradually explore the thunder ball that emitted countless electric lights in the depths of the lake, the Divine Sense contained in the water suddenly discovered that the power of thunder and lightning in the water had suddenly increased several times. The true essence contained in the undercurrent that Lu Ping had used the Water Control Technique was being rapidly melted by the power of thunder and lightning.
This phenomenon greatly surprised Lu Ping. It must be known that after Lu Ping's true essence had been refined by the Profound Heavy Water and the Thousand Wonder Dew, the quality of his true essence was thick and condensed. Among the cultivators of the same level, there was no second, but now it was easily melted by the power of thunder and lightning that had completely dissolved in the lake water. How could this make Lu Ping relax?
Let's see if your power of thunder and lightning will first exhaust my true essence, or if my Water Control Technique will first absorb all the water in this lake!
For a time, Lu Ping's competitive spirit was aroused. The Profound Heavy Water had given Lu Ping a thick and condensed true essence, and the Thousand Wonder Dew had made up for Lu Ping's shortcoming of slow true essence recovery. Now, it could be said that Lu Ping did not fear true essence consumption in any situation!
Lu Ping used the Water Control Technique and condensed 12 undercurrents at the bottom of the lake, controlling almost all the water in the lake. To do this, Lu Ping consumed nearly one-third of his true essence. This was the first time since Lu Ping had refined two portions of the Thousand Wonder Dew and advanced to the late Core Forging stage.
At this moment, Lu Ping's hand seals suddenly changed. The most profound of the "North Sea's 12 Techniques", the "Art of Changing Seas and Mulberry Fields", replaced the Water Control Technique. The entire lake suddenly shook.
The "Art of Changing Seas and Mulberry Fields" was a magical ability that Lu Ping had yet to fully grasp. It was only after Lu Ping advanced to the late Core Forging stage that he was able to study this magical ability. As soon as he used it, the entire lake first trembled, and then the entire lake suddenly boiled. 12 undercurrents soared up from the surface of the lake, suddenly draining two-thirds of the lake's total water!
However, Lu Ping's "Art of Changing Seas and Mulberry Fields" didn't stop there. After the 12 undercurrents were drawn away from the lake, the lake's area continued to shrink, and the lake's surface continued to drop. Hidden at the bottom of the lake was a ball of white lightning entwined with electric light, faintly revealing a trace of its movements.
After Lu Ping's "Art of Changing Seas and Mulberry Fields" was shaken by the white light of the ball of lightning, he didn't look at the bottom of the lake again. At this time, the entire lake was about to be drained by him. At an unknown time, a white jade lotus had already floated in the middle of the lake, directly above the area where the ball of lightning was located.
Although Lu Ping's "Art of Changing Seas and Mulberry Fields" hadn't been cultivated to the large success stage, it wasn't difficult to use it to drain the entire lake's water. Although this was already an extremely great ability for cultivators of the same level.
At this time, the ball of lightning in the middle of the lake seemed to have sensed the approaching crisis. Suddenly, a purple light appeared in the ball of lightning, and then a purple lightning shot out from the ball of lightning again, about to strike Lu Ping who was performing the "Art of Changing Seas and Mulberry Fields" at the most critical moment.
However, before this lightning could fall, the white jade lotus floating above the ball of lightning suddenly bloomed. 12 Genchen beads emitting colorful light fell in different directions. Lu Ping's Natal Genchen Formation was instantly set up. After spitting out purple lightning again, the ball of lightning was in a weakened state in one fell swoop.
Lu Ping stepped into the Genchen Formation. Without looking at the purple lightning that was falling towards his head, he said in a deep voice, "Dinghai!"
With the 9th rank white jade lotus as the center and the 12 Genchen beads as the fulcrum, the entire Genchen Formation suddenly shook. The purple lightning that fell in mid-air was instantly shaken, and at the same time, the huge ball of lightning at the bottom of the lake was also suppressed.
