Strictly speaking, the Lush Jade Swamp was a place of exile for the monsters of the Yulan River!
Aside from the top-tier monsters with inherited bloodlines, most monsters would only gain sentience after reaching the Blood Condensation stage. Before that, most of them could only rely on their instincts to train.
However, not all demonic beasts would gain sentience during the process of advancing to the Blood Condensation Realm. This included some top-tier demonic beasts that had already gained sentience before advancing to the Blood Condensation Realm. During the process of advancing to the Blood Condensation Realm, these demonic beasts might lose their sentience due to the mutation in their bloodline. They would become savage beasts that could only rely on their instincts to cultivate.
This was why both humans and monsters viewed the Blood Condensation stage as the key to becoming a true cultivator!
Human cultivators could only awaken their bloodlines after reaching the Blood Condensation stage and gain the ability to fly. Monsters, on the other hand, could only gain sentience like humans after reaching the Blood Condensation stage. Without sentience, they couldn't be considered as monsters, and could only be considered as feral beasts.
After all, these feral beasts originated from the monster race. Although they didn't have sentience and couldn't be considered as monster cultivators, the monster race didn't just ignore them. Instead, they gathered them in a place of exile, leaving them to fend for themselves. And the Lush Jade Swamp was one of the places where the monsters of the Yulan River had been exiled!
Although the feral beasts didn't have sentience, they could still rely on their instincts to train. The only difference was that their training speed would be slower. But without the constraints of rationality, these feral beasts would be even more ferocious when facing enemies.
After the Lush Jade Swamp became a place of exile for the monsters of the Yulan River, it had actually become a natural barrier to the cultivators of the Hebei region. It was also a springboard for the Yulan River to invade the Hebei region.
A place that was chosen by the Demon Race as a place to exile the ferocious beasts should naturally be a place that was lacking in cultivation resources. However, no one would have thought that this barren land would be home to the remnants of the Demonic Luo that had wreaked havoc in the cultivation world of the Hebei Province. A place that could attract the Demonic Luo to gather was naturally a place that could help them recover their vitality. Since the Demonic Luo could devour spirits, there must be a natural spiritual vein in the Lush Jade Swamp!
The reason why the Spirit Martial Sect proposed to gather all the forces of the various sects to enter the Jade Swamp and surround Mara was not only to prevent Mara from returning to the Hebei cultivation world after recovering his strength, but also to seize the spirit veins that might exist in the Jade Swamp and establish his absolute position in the Hebei cultivation world. Another important purpose was to clear out the vicious beasts in the swamp and destroy the bridgehead of the Yulan River Demon Clan that invaded the Hebei cultivation world.
This was also the reason why the sects in Hebei agreed to this joint operation.
Lu Ping walked towards the muddy pond. He did not expect that he would be able to find a hiding place for the Water Asura within a few dozen miles of entering the Jade Swamp.
However, he was curious. Could it be that there was also a place where the spirit veins gathered that could attract these Water Asura to hide here? However, why didn't his spiritual will sense it at all?
Lu Ping stopped a few dozen feet away from the muddy pond with a playful smile on his face. Then, he pointed his finger and a whirlpool appeared in the middle of the muddy pond.
This whirlpool was strangely tight. The surrounding water gathered towards the whirlpool, and then the water was thrown far away from the muddy pond, leaving only a pile of mud in the pond.
Lu Ping looked at the muddy pond and couldn't help but laugh, "You can even endure this. Everyone says that the Asura and the Demonic Cultivators are like locusts in the cultivation world. Don't you want to know how to endure?"
Lu Ping stretched out his hands and clenched them tightly. The muddy pond quickly dried up.
As Lu Ping's cultivation increased, the Sea of Mulberry Fields Technique, which was one of the best spells in Lu Ping's "North Sea Twelve Techniques", showed its power more and more, and Lu Ping was able to use it more and more smoothly.
"Bang!"
The mud exploded, and the Asura hiding in it could no longer hide. Taking advantage of the flying mud, they attacked Lu Ping.
There were three Great Asuras in the Core Forging Stage. One of the weapons in the hands of the Asura flashed with a blinding light. When Lu Ping saw this cold light, he did not hesitate to use the Autumn Dew Sword.
The Asuras were good at hiding. Lu Ping being able to discover the Asuras hiding in the muddy pond was already his limit. Since they could be discovered by Lu Ping, these Asuras naturally could not be Dharma Asuras. Thus, Lu Ping was very confident in killing these three Asuras.
However, Lu Ping did not expect that there would be a Great Asura that was close to the Dharma stage and had a companion weapon that had reached the level of a spirit-nurturing treasure.
Raging Waves Technique!
The twin swords, one in front and one behind, created a huge wave that pressed down on the three Shuras, preventing them from reaching Lu Ping's range of attack.
The strongest Asura held a two-and-a-half-foot short sword in its hand. With just one sword, it cut through the wave formed by Lu Ping's two swords and rushed toward Lu Ping.
Lu Ping was not surprised. Instead, he was happy. At this time, the other two Asuras were afraid of Lu Ping's sword wave and had already distanced themselves from this Asura. Lu Ping's two swords suddenly circled around and immediately trapped this Asura in his sword circle.
Green Serpent Disturbing the Sea Sword Technique!
Two green sea dragons soared into the sky from the sword wave, circling left and right, entangling the Great Asura in the middle.
The short sword in the Asura's hand turned into a green ball of light and blocked the two green serpents. The two swords clashed. The Asura's spirit-nurturing treasure cut through the sword scales of the two green serpents, but the green serpent formed by Fainting Autumn Sword wrapped around them tighter.
At this time, the other two Asuras finally broke through the sword wave and came at Lu Ping because Lu Ping was using all his strength to kill one of them.
A small black flag suddenly rose above Lu Ping's head. The flag fluttered, and the water that Lu Ping had thrown out from the muddy pond appeared under the feet of the two Asuras. It turned into water ropes that wrapped around the two Asuras' feet.
But just as the two water ropes were about to further restrict the two Asuras' movements, the water ropes suddenly thinned and melted into the two Asuras' bodies.
Lu Ping scolded himself for being stupid. Water Asuras were gifted with all kinds of water-type spells, so they naturally had a strong resistance to water-type spells.
Seeing that the two Asuras weren't affected and were rushing towards Lu Ping, he suddenly heard the wind above him. A seal the size of a small mountain fell from the sky and smashed into the two Asuras, splashing water everywhere.
At this moment, a colorful poisonous fog suddenly burst out from the muddy pond that had previously dried up. Then, a weak aura followed closely after and diluted in the surrounding air. A colorful figure flashed in the sky.
Lu Ping was shocked. There was a Poison Asura hidden in the muddy pond!
A curtain of water hung down from the Water-Controlling Flag, and white lotuses bloomed on the water curtain. Then, nine lotuses broke in a row, and the water curtain caved in deeply. Then, it bounced back, and a multicolored cloud flew backward, then hovered several hundred feet away.
Lu Ping used the same trick again. The Water-Controlling Flag fluttered, and the nine water vines rolled up and went deep into the colorful cloud floating in the air.
The colorful cloud didn't flash, as if it was laughing at Lu Ping's exhaustion. It didn't see that when Lu Ping used the Water-Controlling Technique, several golden lotuses flashed on the water curtain of the Water-Controlling Flag, turned into a golden stream of water, and poured into the nine water vines.
Suddenly, a mournful roar came from the colorful cloud. The cloud suddenly trembled violently, and then pieces of cloud began to float in all directions like cotton floated by the wind.
Lu Ping looked at the golden color coming out of the cloud in the air and said with a smirk, "Do you really think you're immune to all poisons? You even dare to absorb the Myriad Poison Serum."
Lu Ping made a sword spell in his hand, and the two green dragons circled more and more urgently, gradually forming a huge water scroll. The light ball formed by the short sword in the Great Asura's hand kept shrinking as the water scroll continued to wear it down. Shrill hisses came from the water scroll, and the light ball began to rush left and right, as if trying to break out of the water scroll's encirclement.
Lu Ping chuckled and said, "It's too late to escape now!"
The colorful cloud in the sky dissipated, and an Asura with strange patterns all over its body appeared in front of Lu Ping. It stumbled in the air and finally fell into the swamp.
Although this Poison Asura was dying from the backlash of the Myriad Poison Serum, Lu Ping could see that the golden color of the Myriad Poison Serum was slowly disappearing in the Poison Asura's body. Obviously, the Poison Asura was trying to refine the Myriad Poison Serum that Lu Ping had injected into its body.
If this Poison Asura was given some time to refine the Myriad Poison Liquid, not only would it be able to recover its strength, but its strength would also be greatly enhanced.
However, Lu Ping obviously wouldn't give it a chance. Lu Ping reversed the Water-Controlling Technique, and the Myriad Poison Serum that had been injected into the Poison Asura's body earlier rolled back, and at the same time, the Poison Asura's poison essence was brought out.
In the midst of Poison Asura's mournful screams, its cultivation essence was sucked clean by Lu Ping, and it couldn't have been more dead.
In the Golden House, in the pool of Myriad Poison Serum made of bluestone, bubbled. A drop of Wonder Dew gradually formed at the bottom of the pool, and finally condensed into half a drop of Wonder Dew Dew.
Lu Ping was overjoyed. He changed the technique in his hand, and the Autumn Dew Sword suddenly broke away from the water, stabbing toward the ball of light that had shrunk to less than ten feet.
With a clang, the Water Asura's short sword couldn't block the two swords in the end, and the Autumn Dew Sword pierced through its core space.
Lu Ping waved his hand, and the short sword in the Water Asura's hand flew back into Lu Ping's hand. Lu Ping looked at it carefully for a moment, and then regretfully put the short sword into his storage magic tool.
The reason why the Shura's accompanying magic treasures were able to display such power was mainly because they were in the Shura's own hands. Under the special circulation of True Essence and innate abilities, the short sword could display power no less than that of a Spirit Nourishing magic treasure.
But now that the flying sword was in Lu Ping's hands, it only had the power of a spirit nurturing magic treasure at most. However, if the short sword was given to a master refiner, it could quickly be upgraded to a spirit nurturing magic treasure.
