No one was clearer than Lu Ping about the huge benefits that the inheritance of the pure Yang soul had brought him. This benefit did not seem to be reflected in the sharp increase in Lu Ping's cultivation and strength. However, Lu Ping knew that it was because of the inheritance of the pure Yang soul that Lu Ping could go further in the future!
The pure Yang soul also brought to Lu Ping many secrets that were buried deep in the cultivation world. These secrets were enough for Lu Ping to clearly see the connections behind many things that happened in the cultivation world. It even included some speculations about the reason why large sects like Ying Tian Sect and Fei Ling Sect, which were once prominent in the cultivation world, were destroyed, as well as the culprit behind them, and so on.
However, Lu Ping did not have the time to check all of these. After Lu Ping completely inherited the pure Yang soul, the last sentence that appeared in Lu Ping's Divine Will was: "After the inheritance of the palace guardian spirit is completed, the Ying Tian Dojo will collapse within six hours!"
At this time, Lu Ping's injuries were mostly healed due to the Dharma Manifestation healing elixir, as well as the huge amount of vital essence that flowed into him when he inherited the pure Yang soul.
Lu Ping turned around and returned to the stone bridge. The Forbidden Space Array that originally covered the space on both sides of the stone bridge had already begun to collapse. Lu Ping looked down and saw that the abyss under his feet that led straight to the shattered space seemed to have become much shallower.
The belly of the mountain shook, and broken stones began to fall.
Lu Ping ran across the stone bridge at his fastest speed and passed through the corridor in the belly of the mountain. When he came out of the stone door, the hill behind him shook for a while and finally collapsed with a loud bang, sending dust flying everywhere.
According to the memory of the pure Yang soul, Lu Ping ran towards the west of this hill. At the edge of this hill, there was a hill that was slightly higher than the surrounding hills. Lu Ping came to a gravel slope behind the hill and found the largest stone. He slashed down with the Golden Scale Sword in his hand, and the stone immediately broke into two.
In the center of the stone was an empty nest that was one foot square. A purple wooden box was placed in the empty nest. Lu Ping's eyes lit up. He picked up the purple wooden box and examined it before opening it. Inside was a thick book with a purple-gold cover.
Lu Ping put the book back into the purple wooden box and then carefully placed it in his storage ring. He then turned to the north. In the north of this hill, there was another legacy cultivation technique that was equivalent to the secret manual that Lu Ping had obtained.
The Ying Tian Sect had a legacy of more than twenty thousand years. It had officially become a large sect in the cultivation world for more than twelve thousand years. Whether it was its legacy or heritage, it far surpassed its overseas ally, the Fei Ling Sect.
In the twenty thousand years of legacy of the Ying Tian Sect, there had been a total of four Laozu who had achieved the true soul level. And the cultivation techniques that these four Laozu cultivated were called the direct legacy cultivation techniques by the Ying Tian Sect.
Before the Ying Tian Sect was destroyed, these four direct legacy cultivation techniques were hidden by the Ying Tian Sect's cultivators in four different directions on the hill in the middle of this grotto.
The inheritance of the pure Yang soul that Lu Ping had obtained was from the last peak Dharma adept of the Ying Tian Sect, Fei Tian Laozu. On the eve of the Ying Tian Sect's destruction, he used his final secret technique to activate the Ying Tian Dojo and hide it in a crack in space. Fei Tian Laozu eventually died from his injuries.
On the eve of his death, Fei Tian Laozu condensed the essence of his Dharma Power, which he had cultivated for hundreds of years, into a pure Yang soul and hid it in the belly of a mountain in the Central Palace Grotto. It was used to suppress the Central Palace, and even the entire Ying Tian Dojo, so that it could be used by future cultivators to inherit the Ying Tian Sect's orthodoxy.
After Lu Ping obtained the inheritance of Fei Tian Laozu, he naturally valued these four direct legacy cultivation techniques that could allow a cultivator to achieve the true soul level. There was only one such cultivation technique in Zhenling, and that was the "Mysterious Ape Water Manipulation Technique" cultivated by Tai Shen Laozu, the only expert in the history of Zhenling who had achieved the true soul level!
When Lu Ping arrived at the source of a spring at the foot of a hill in the north, he saw that the spring water had just dried up, and there was a huge pit about ten feet deep at the source. His heart sank. The direct legacy cultivation technique of the Ying Tian Sect had already been taken by someone else!
Another loud noise was heard. This time, it was not the hill collapsing, but the sound of people fighting!
From afar, Feng Xutao shouted angrily, "Jiang Tianlin, you've gone too far. Do you want to keep this treasure all to yourself?"
Jiang Tianlin Laozu's loud laughter rang out. "Feng Xutao, even though you and I discovered this treasure together, it's all yours. If you, Brother Feng, had snatched it first, do you think you'd be able to split it with me?"
"You, hmph!"
Feng Xutao snorted from the sky, and then there was no more sound. It seemed like the Xuan Ling Sect had no choice but to swallow their anger.
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. From the direction of the sound, there was indeed a place where the Ying Tian Sect had hidden the treasure. However, the inheritance of the Pure Yang Soul did not mention it too clearly. It only said that there were some treasures hidden there. It was obvious that the treasures there were not worth Fei Tian Laozu's attention.
Lu Ping thought about it. Now that the central palace was on the verge of collapse, many of the previously hidden treasures were gradually being revealed due to the gradual disintegration of the restrictive formations. With the help of Fei Tian Laozu's inheritance, Lu Ping might be able to obtain more benefits than others. However, the various sects' Laozu must have already discovered the abnormality of the central palace and were frantically searching for the treasures in the Hollow. If Lu Ping was alone and encountered by the Dharma adepts of the other sects, there was no guarantee that the Dharma adepts would want to harm him.
The battle between Jiang Tianlin and Feng Xutao just now had already proved that the previous agreement between the various sects was becoming less and less binding in the final moments of the self-discovery of the treasures.
Lu Ping quickly ran in the direction of Jiang Tianlin Laozu's voice. Through the inherited memories, Lu Ping knew that although the treasures in that place were not high-level, there were many of them. Jiang Tianlin Laozu would not be able to take all of them in a short period of time.
Jiang Tianlin Laozu had just chased away Feng Xutao. With the help of Zhenren Xuanchen, he had just broken the restrictive formations that were already on the verge of collapse. From a cave, he had found a bunch of extraordinary items and low-level spiritual items. Then, he saw Lu Ping flying towards him from afar.
Jiang Tianlin smiled and said, "Just in time. This grotto-heaven is probably going to collapse soon. It's best for everyone to gather together. After exchanging blows with Feng Xutao just now, I'm afraid that the other sects' Laozu will also break the rules and attack recklessly."
Lu Ping glanced at the cave behind Jiang Tianlin and found that it was already empty. Therefore, he asked, "Martial Uncle, which direction are you coming from?"
Jiang Tianlin did not know why Lu Ping was asking this, but seeing that Lu Ping's expression was solemn, he replied, "From the south. Why?"
Lu Ping said, "There is an inherited ancient book buried under a tree at the top of a hill in the south. I wonder if Martial Uncle has discovered it?"
Jiang Tianlin Laozu and Zhenren Xuanchen looked at Lu Ping in surprise. Jiang Tianlin Laozu reached into his sleeve and took out a book that was exactly the same as the one that Lu Ping had obtained with a purple gold cover. It was in Jiang Tianlin Laozu's hand.
Jiang Tianlin Laozu weighed the secret book in his hand and said, "Are you talking about this ancient book?"
Lu Ping was delighted and said, "Yes, this is the ancient book. This is the only four direct inheritance ancient books of the Ying Tian Faction!"
"Direct inheritance ancient book?"
Looking at the two's doubtful eyes, Lu Ping did not want to waste time explaining. Therefore, he took out the one that he had obtained and handed it to Jiang Tianlin Laozu. He said, "It is a cultivation method that is even more powerful than a direct inheritance cultivation method. It is just like our sect's' Art of Mystical Ape Water Manipulation '!"
Jiang Tianlin Laozu's expression immediately changed when he heard Lu Ping's words. Although Zhenling had five true inheritances, all the high-level cultivators of Zhenling knew the position of the 'Art of Mystical Ape Water Manipulation' in Zhenling's five true inheritances. Since Lu Ping said that the Ying Tian Faction's direct inheritance cultivation method was comparable to the 'Art of Mystical Ape Water Manipulation', didn't that mean that the Ying Tian Faction once had a cultivator who used these two cultivation methods to achieve the Real Soul Level?
Jiang Tianlin changed his previous casual attitude and carefully kept the two ancient books. Spiritual Master Xuanchen asked Lu Ping, "How did you know that there was an ancient book there?"
Lu Ping naturally could not say that he had already obtained the inheritance of the pure Yang soul. That would be too shocking. Therefore, he only said vaguely, "I just saw a similar record in a treasure trove. Later on, I found this ancient book on a gravel slope in the west according to the record. I don't think it is wrong. Unfortunately, when I went to the source of a mountain spring in the north to look for the other one, I found that it had already been found by someone else."
"It was Feng Xutao!"
Jiang Tianlin Laozu said in a low voice, "Feng Xutao and Qian Daofeng came from the north!"
Lu Ping didn't have time to explain further. He said, "I've also found out about some hidden treasures. There's a wooden bridge in the valley behind the eastern hill. There's also a book that was passed down from generation to generation."
As soon as Lu Ping finished speaking, he heard a series of concentrated magic roars from the east. A woman's voice sounded. "Dongguo Geezer, Zhang Xiyi, the two of you killed my Shui Yan Pavilion's disciple and even tried in vain to snatch the cultivation method that my Shui Yan Pavilion obtained. When I leave this grotto-heaven, my Shui Yan Pavilion will definitely not let you off!"
Lu Ping and Jiang Tianlin Laozu looked at each other. They did not expect their luck to be so bad. They just wanted to find the ancient book, but the Shui Yan Pavilion snatched it first. Moreover, from the Shui Yan Pavilion's Dharma Idol Laozu's angry shout, it was obvious that the Azure Sea Sect's attempt to snatch it failed. Instead, they killed a Shui Yan Pavilion's Core Forging Stage cultivator. However, they did not know if the person killed was the Shui Yan Pavilion's Formation Grandmaster. Otherwise, the Shui Yan Pavilion and the Azure Sea Sect would really be enemies.
Jiang Tianlin Laozu also laughed dryly. "Out of the four direct inheritance ancient books, our sect got two. It is considered not bad!"
Daoist Xuanchen turned around and said, "Do you know where the treasures are?"
Lu Ping was stunned and said, "Now that the formations and restrictions of the entire grotto-heaven have started to collapse, the treasures that were previously hidden have started to be exposed. However, there are indeed a few places that are more important in my memory. Let's walk from the southeast first. If we are lucky, we can find a treasure vault that stores earth-rank spiritual items, an underground scripture pavilion, and a Spirit Sealing Box that stores spiritual pills …"
