Now, Lu Ping was a little worried about the spells and powers that he had. All these years, Lu Ping had collected many spells and powers from all over the place, but most of them were used for reference with Lu Ping's "Twelve Authentic Techniques," combining their strengths into the "Twelve Authentic Techniques," causing Lu Ping's understanding of the Twelve Authentic Techniques to improve with each passing day. Most of the spells that he could use were from the Twelve Authentic Techniques, and while they were powerful, they lost their flexibility and versatility.
During the trip to the swamp, especially after Lu Ping had repeatedly fought with the Dharma adepts, Lu Ping gradually felt that the spells and powers that he had were still lacking. He should put more effort into this. After all, Lu Ping now had quite a number of water-based spells and powers.
Furthermore, the "Sea of Hundred Rivers Technique" that Lu Ping had yet to fully understand seemed to be a type of sword technique that could only be formed by combining hundreds of sword techniques and directly led to a supreme spell.
Other than this sword technique, the "Great River Flowing East Sword Technique" that Lu Ping had yet to fully understand was also a sword technique that could directly lead to a supreme spell. This sword technique, in the "North Sea Wave Listening Technique," was just a great sword technique that was modified to achieve the "Sea of Hundred Rivers Flowing East Sword Technique."
However, when Lu Ping observed Tian Xiang Grand Ancestor's Heavenly River of Lightning during his tribulation, he gained an epiphany and upgraded the sword skill to the level of a great technique. However, when Lu Ping practiced the sword skill, he couldn't help but feel a sense of longing. It was as if there was something he hadn't fully comprehended yet and there was still room for him to improve the sword skill further.
As the saying goes, the onlooker sees the game more clearly. This time, when Liang Tianfeng and Laozu Qu Tiancheng came to Central Plains, Liang Tianfeng and Laozu brought a message from their teacher, Liu Tianling, for Lu Ping to go to the two major rivers of Central Plains, the Yulan River and the Skyfall River, to take a look!
Lu Ping was suddenly enlightened. What was the meaning of the great river flowing eastward? Only these large rivers were truly flowing east. Perhaps that was the place for him to completely master this fey sword art.
When Lu Ping killed the Eighth Brother of the Supreme Mystery Sect and his party in the swamp this time, he had used a set of great swordsmanship that he had just mastered, called "Serial Whirling Kill".
This was a complete sword art inheritance that Lu Ping had obtained from the Ying Tian Sect. This inheritance was equivalent to the trunk of a giant tree. Almost all of the inherited sword arts divine abilities of the Ying Tian Sect were branches of this sword art inheritance, including the "Flying Spiral Slash", a sword art divine ability that was specially used for dual flying swords. It was also a branch of this sword art inheritance.
This sword art inheritance was given an interesting name by the Ying Tian Sect, called the "Boiling Sky" sword art. It could be considered the general outline of the entire Ying Tian Sect's sword art inheritance.
Such a general outline of a sword art inheritance was naturally only obtained by a very small number of people in the Ying Tian Sect, and it was passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation of cultivators. Although this general outline was mentioned many times in the Ying Tian Sect's inheritance, it was never recorded.
Fortunately, Lu Ping had inherited the Fei Tian Grand Ancestor's Pure Yang Soul. As the Pure Yang Grand Ancestor with the highest status in Ying Tian Sect back then, the Pure Yang Grand Ancestor's swordsmanship was naturally engraved in the Pure Yang Soul's inheritance.
And this sword art, without a doubt, was like the Hundred Rivers Into the Sea sword art inheritance. It was also a sword art inheritance that led directly to a supreme divine ability. The difference between this and the Hundred Rivers Into the Sea sword art great divine ability was that in order to achieve this supreme divine ability, one must thoroughly study the Ying Tian Sect's sword art inheritance.
And to achieve the Hundred Rivers Into the Sea sword art great divine ability, one could use it as a reference as long as it was a sword art of sufficient weight. Comparing the two, the starting point for the "Boiling Sky Sword Art" was undoubtedly much higher than the "Hundred Rivers Into the Sea sword art". However, the power of the two ultimate divine abilities was similar, which meant that it was easier to achieve the Hundred Rivers Into the Sea sword art great divine ability!
The achievement of a great divine ability could allow a Core Forging adept to become a master; with three to five great divine abilities, even early Dharma adepts would not be considered weak among the adepts of the same level; and a great divine ability could often become the foundation of a medium-sized sect. A Dharma adept who had achieved a great divine ability usually had the right to establish his own sect; and a adept who could achieve two or more great divine abilities could often be considered invincible among the adepts of the same level, and it was not difficult for them to challenge someone of a higher level.
Lu Ping was currently only at the late Core Forging stage, but he had already mastered more than three to five great divine abilities. Among the Twelve Orthodox Techniques of the North Sea, other than the four basic techniques of the "Water Manipulation Technique", "Wave Treading Technique", "Stone Piercing Technique", and "Raging Waves Technique", the other eight techniques, with the support of Lu Ping's inner Yuan that far exceeded that of other adepts of the same level, each technique could unleash the power of a great divine ability.
However, in reality, the "Azure Flood Dragon Disturbing the Seas Sword Art", "Thousand Piles Snow Sword Art", "Art of Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Sea", and "Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain" could only be considered minor magic arts. The true major magic arts were the "Great River Flowing East Sword Art" and the "Art of Blue Waves".
After the "Great River Flowing East Technique" had the possibility of becoming a great divine ability, other than these three techniques, Lu Ping now had another great divine ability, and that was the "Art of Changing Seas". This great divine ability was obviously more difficult for Lu Ping to master. The last time he used this technique in the swamp, it barely reached the level of a great divine ability.
In addition to these inherited divine abilities that Lu Ping had received from the system, Lu Ping also had many other divine abilities, such as the "Formless Sword Technique", the "Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash", the "Merry Wind Eighteen Swords", the "True Essence Sword Technique", the "Water Escape Technique", the "Spirit Explosion Technique", the "Intentional Battle Pill", the "Protective Aura Technique", the "Three Pure Eyes", the "Torrent of Swordsmanship", and so on and so forth.
In particular, the "Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash" was a complete system of divine ability cultivation. Right now, in the hands of Lu Ping, he could use the minor divine ability lightning technique as well as the great divine ability lightning technique.
In the future, when Lu Ping gathered all seven types of three mid-grade strange items, the "Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash" would advance to the "Spirit Nurturing Level" magic treasure, and it would be able to use the seven great divine ability lightning techniques.
If he could go one step further and obtain the last seven attributes of high-grade strange items, he would be able to create a supreme divine ability lightning technique. The number one divine artifact of the cultivation world would then be able to show its brilliance.
If he could survive the Thunder Tribulation and become a Spirit Treasure in one fell swoop, the "Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash" would be able to use the seven supreme divine ability lightning techniques, recreating the glory of the number one divine artifact of the cultivation world.
For some unknown reason, the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits didn't come looking for Lu Ping. Lu Ping put this matter to the back of his mind and began to concentrate on his secluded cultivation. His main goal was to sort out and cultivate his divine abilities and prioritize them.
At the same time, Lu Ping also refined the "Green Jade Glazed Liquid", a high-grade water attribute strange item that he exchanged from Sang Yu in the small town outside the Abundant Jade Swamp.
Like the Myriad Poison Liquid, the Green Jade Glaze Liquid was also a high-grade heaven and earth treasure. After Lu Ping refined the Green Jade Glaze Liquid, his protective energy barrier was no weaker than any defensive technique. In fact, it might even be stronger. His protective energy barrier was almost as strong as a Spirit Nurturing Grade defensive mystic treasure, or even comparable to a top-grade spirit channeling mystic treasure like the Water Control Flag.
Lu Ping cultivated all kinds of divine abilities in seclusion. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed. When he came out, Liang Tianfeng Laozu had already left to travel. However, before he left the Ying Shan Immortal Academy, he had already spread the news in the cultivation world of Hebei that he had been invited to become a guest elder of the Immortal Academy. This was to intimidate the sects that coveted the Ying Shan Immortal Academy.
This was especially true for the Huayu Sect, whose nest had been raided. Because more than half of their wealth had been taken away, the Huayu Sect naturally set their sights on the newly risen but weak Ying Shan Immortal Academy. If not for Liang Tianfeng Laozu's appearance and the Gu Clan's warning, the Huayu Sect would have jumped up and down among the twelve small sects and might have caused some trouble. After all, the Ying Shan Immortal Academy did not have a deep foundation and did not have enough connections.
In the Ying Yu Swamp, the Gu Clan's direct disciple, Enlightened Master Gu Hun, was rescued by Lu Ping. With Lu Ping's help, the Gu Clan exposed the collusion between the Supreme Xuan Sect and the Spirit Martial Sect to plot against the disciples of the various sects. Hence, the Gu Clan's action of stopping the Huayu Sect could be considered as repaying a favor to Lu Ping or the Ying Shan Immortal Academy.
On the other hand, the Ying Shan Immortal Academy's old neighbor, the Mountain Universe Sect, had been very well-behaved during this period. Perhaps they had seen the great increase in the Ying Shan Immortal Academy's strength, but after the trip to the swamp, Yu Shang Laozu, who had always been hostile towards the Ying Shan Immortal Academy, had restricted his disciples from getting into conflict with the disciples of the Ying Shan Immortal Academy. At the same time, he had also urged his disciples to cultivate. It was said that two of his disciples, Pang Feiyun, had condensed a seventh-grade Golden Core and were already preparing to break through to the Dharma Adept stage in seclusion.
As for the other one, Venerable Fei Hong, it was said that his alchemy skills had also improved greatly. Now, he could already refine pills half a step into the Dharma Adept stage. His cultivation had also broken through to the ninth level of the Core Forging stage, becoming an influential figure in the Hebei cultivation world.
Of course, these two still could not compare to Lu Ping's status in the Hebei cultivation world. Now, there was no one in the Hebei cultivation world who did not know that Elder Xuan Ping of the Ying Shan Immortal Academy was no weaker than a Dharma adept. At the same time, it was very likely that he was an alchemy grandmaster.
The last piece of news was that after Venerable Fei Hong had successfully refined a pill half a step into the Dharma Adept, he had once said that he had received guidance from Elder Xuan Ping of the Ying Shan Immortal Academy to achieve this. The Gu Clan's alchemy grandmaster, Gu Zhou, had also confirmed this. Although Lu Ping did not publicly admit it, to be able to guide a half-step Grandmaster like Venerable Fei Hong, who else could it be other than an alchemy grandmaster?
After Lu Ping came out of seclusion, he went to look for Xuantian Zhenren. Although Xuantian Zhenren had reached the late Core Forging stage later than Xuanbei Zhenren and Xuanyu Zhenren, his accumulation in the sixth level of the Core Forging stage was far greater than the two of them. Now, he had reached the peak of the seventh level before the two of them.
"Senior, has there been anything new in the Celestial Academy in the past three years?"
Lu Ping and Xuantian Zhenren were chatting about some interesting news in the Hebei cultivation world, so he asked with a smile.
"In the past two years, although there have been small conflicts between the various sects, there have been no major battles. The Spiritual Martial Sect lost two Dharma adepts in the Yingyu Swamp, and their secret alliance with the Taixuan Sect was discovered by the Hebei cultivation world. After that, the Taixuan Sect was suppressed by the Taixuan Sect in the plains, and the few sects that followed the Spiritual Martial Sect also suffered many losses. Now, the Spiritual Martial Sect is even more isolated in the Hebei region, and their actions have been much more low-key."
"That's how it should be. However, although the Spiritual Martial Sect's vitality has been damaged, it has not hurt their foundation. Two late Dharma adepts are enough to make the other sects in the Hebei cultivation world cautious."
"Exactly. However, speaking of recent major events in the cultivation world, it should be related to the Qinghu Nine Bandits being hunted down."
