Looking down from the sky, one would be able to see that the entire fog array occupied a radius of 500 kilometres. However, at the centre of the fog array, within a radius of 50 kilometres, was a grassland that was not covered by the fog array. Within the grassland were lakes of varying sizes.
These various-sized pools of water formed the source of the Yulan River, and then they were securely protected by an invisible formation wall. As for the true Sacred Lake, it was hidden within the grass that surrounded the pool of water within a circumference of a hundred kilometers.
For some unknown reason, every time the river source opened up, the distribution of the meadow and the lakes within a radius of 50 kilometres would undergo a complete change. Additionally, the location of the Sacred Fall Lake would also constantly change. Cultivators would have to search for the true location of the Sacred Fall Lake amidst the countless lakes of varying sizes. It was not an easy task.
Clearly, the four cultivators from Western Desolation Palace were very familiar with the situation inside the fog array. They did not spread out their divine senses the moment they emerged. Instead, they ended up like Lu Ping, losing control over their divine senses.
Although the four cultivators might not have entered the fog array before, there must have been senior cultivators from Western Desolation Palace who had entered the fog array before. They had recorded down all the matters to take note of and informed those who came after them. Thus, it was clear that the four cultivators from Western Desolation Palace were very familiar with the situation inside.
During the past few days, Lu Ping had also encountered several cultivators who had just emerged from the fog array. Due to not knowing what was going on, they had completely unleashed their divine senses. Clearly, those cultivators did not possess the terrifying divine senses that Lu Ping possessed. Thus, they were ambushed by others.
For the better ones, their divine senses were only damaged. Although it did affect their strength somewhat, it was not too serious. For the worse ones, they were grievously wounded and coughed out blood on the spot, suffering from backlash from their primary essence. Thankfully, the fact that they could make it out from the fog array meant that they were no pushovers. The moment they were ambushed, they had rolled to the back of the fog array to avoid getting beaten up. However, the fog array was not necessarily safe. Whether or not they could survive would depend on the will of the heavens.
The cultivators from Western Desolation Palace quickly noticed Lu Ping. After receiving the reminder from his junior brother, Fifth Senior Brother quickly turned to look at Lu Ping. At the same time, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
The Fifth Senior Brother seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then walked towards Lu Ping under the watchful eyes of the crowd. When the surrounding cultivators saw the Fifth Senior Brother and the other three, they all looked at Lu Ping with sympathy or gloating eyes.
However, to everyone's disappointment, Lu Ping did not show the slightest sign of panic, nor did he turn around and retreat into the fog. Instead, he calmly sat cross-legged on the ground and cultivated his Qi.
However, these people immediately became even more excited. Even though the Western Desolate Palace was aggressively charging towards them, they were still calm and unhurried. At this moment, they were completely looking down on the Western Desolate Palace. Could it be that they were going to start a war? If that were to happen, it would be truly spectacular. Many of the cultivators who had distanced themselves from Lu Ping did so once again, fearful that the battle between the two sides would affect them.
"I am Zhang Zhi Ming from the Western Wilderness Palace. How should I address you?"
The application form of the Western Wilderness Palace's Fifth Senior Brother greatly disappointed the cultivators who wanted to watch a good show. At the same time, they also became very curious about Lu Ping's identity. Who was this person to be so respected by the Western Wilderness Palace's cultivators?
Seeing the other party like this, Lu Ping naturally would not reach out and slap the smiling person. So, he cupped his hands and said, "I am Lu Xuanping from the North Sea. This is the first time I've traveled to the Western Wilderness. What happened before was a bit rash. Please forgive me, Brother Zhang!"
A North Sea cultivator?
Not only did Lu Ping's identity greatly surprise the Western Wilderness Palace's Senior Brother Zhang and the others, even the surrounding cultivators who had been listening in were surprised. Some of the cultivators' faces even flashed with naked disdain. The North Sea's cultivation world was truly a remote and desolate place. This Zhang Zhi Ming, a dignified Western Wilderness Palace's direct disciple, was actually so polite to this person. Was he not afraid of losing face for a large sect?
Even the Western Wilderness Palace's disciples behind the Fifth Senior Brother Zhang Zhi Ming felt a bit embarrassed. One of the Junior Brothers said, "Senior Brother …"
Zhang Zhi Ming naturally knew what his Junior Brother was going to say. So, he hurriedly raised his hand to stop him. Once again, he smiled at Lu Ping and said, "It's fine. Didn't we also trick Brother Lu? But to be honest, Brother Lu's background is quite surprising!"
Lu Ping smiled noncommittally and didn't reply to her.
Another Junior Brother next to him was a bit impatient and said with an annoyed expression, "Hmph, you sure are arrogant. Don't forget that you can't escape from Junior Brother Cai's death!"
Lu Ping's expression immediately turned cold. It was true that he wanted to use the five people from the Western Wilderness Palace to divert the attention of the Pegasus Clan so that he could enter the Fog Formation. But, he was seen through by the five people from the Western Wilderness Palace and used their own trick against Lu Ping. Lu Ping could only blame himself for not being smart enough.
However, when the five people took the opportunity to enter the Fog Formation, they were attacked by the Koi Clan. That had nothing to do with Lu Ping. Now, the Western Wilderness Palace's cultivators were blaming Lu Ping for their Junior Brother's death. That was just sophistry.
"Shut up! What are you saying? Junior Brother Cai's death has nothing to do with Brother Lu!"
Zhang Zhi Ming fiercely glared at the Junior Brother behind him. Then, he turned to Lu Ping and said, "Junior Brother Wu and Junior Brother Cai had the best relationship. Junior Brother Cai's death made Junior Brother Wu a bit irrational. Please don't blame him, Brother Lu!"
Naturally, Lu Ping wouldn't offend the Western Wilderness Palace at this time. So, he nodded and said, "It's fine. But what is Brother Zhang's purpose in coming here?"
Zhang Zhi Ming laughed and said, "You were able to escape unscathed from Ma Chenguang's hands. With such strength, if I don't come and make friends with you, then wouldn't I be too blind?"
As soon as Zhang Zhi Ming's voice fell, the cultivators who had been secretly watching from afar revealed expressions of shock. Waves of whispers spread over. Lu Ping, Zhang Zhi Ming, and the others were all extraordinary people. Naturally, these words stopped in their ears.
"What? This person was able to escape unscathed from Ma Chenguang? Look at him, he's only at the eighth layer of the Core Forging Realm. This kind of strength, this kind of strength … "
"Bullsh * t. A poor cultivator from the North Sea could escape from Ma Chenguang's hands. It can't be that he saw Ma Chenguang from afar and ran away. Ma Chenguang was too lazy to chase after him. That's why he was able to escape."
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you see who the person who said this is? He's the fifth disciple of the Western Wilderness Palace. How could he lie?"
"I still don't believe it. Who is Ma Chenguang? He's someone who has mastered the seed of the Divine Power and has mastered the Natural Mystique. Moreover, it's said that the Natural Mystique he has mastered is one of the most powerful techniques of the Tenma people, the Sky-Piercing Thrust. With this level of cultivation and strength, even among Dharma adepts of the same level, other than the direct disciples of the five holy lands, Lu Xuanping is almost invincible. How is this possible?"
…
Lu Ping didn't care about what the others were saying. Seeing that the cultivator from the Western Wilderness Palace was so straightforward, a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Ma Chenguang? The cultivator from the Heavenly Horse Clan who chased after me? I'm no match for that person. I was just lucky enough to escape. After all, I wasn't far from the fog array, so I escaped when he wasn't paying attention. "
Lu Ping's casual words caused Zhang Zhiming's face to fill with bitterness. For a Core Forging adept to escape from Ma Chenguang, who was at the Dharma stage, how much luck did he have to be to escape?
However, Zhang Zhiming naturally wouldn't say it out loud. Instead, he said softly, "Brother Lu, do you know who Ma Chenguang is?"
Before entering the fog array, Lu Ping had exchanged names with this Dharma adept of the Pegasus clan and found out that his name was Ma Chenguang. He also found out from the Green Hill Foxes that this Ma Chenguang was the third brother of Ma Chenxi, who he wanted to kill this time. The Ma clan's Five Chen were the five children of the leader of the Pegasus clan. However, he didn't know how strong these five people were.
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. Perhaps he could learn something from this person in front of him. Thus, he asked in confusion, "It seems that Brother Zhang knows a lot about this Ma Chenguang. I wonder if it's convenient for you to explain it to me?"
"It's not a big deal. Many people in the Western Wilderness know about the Ma clan's Five Chen. I'm afraid that only Brother Lu, who comes from a different world of practitioners, would not be familiar with this."
The Ma clan's Five Chen could be said to be the representative of the most outstanding disciples of the Pegasus clan. Among the five siblings, the eldest, Ma Chenyang, had the highest level of practice. It was said that he was at the peak of the early Dharma stage, and he was already in seclusion in preparation for his tribulation.
The second brother, Ma Chenshuang, was a female practitioner who had also reached the Dharma stage. However, unlike the eldest brother and the third brother, Ma Chenshuang did not condense a powerful magical seed at the same time as they reached the Dharma stage. Thus, the power of her Natural Magical Seed was not very strong. However, it was said that it had many other uses.
The third brother, Ma Chenguang, was currently the strongest among the Ma clan's Five Chen. Even Ma Chenyang, who was about to reach the mid Dharma stage, might not be his match. The main reason for this was that Ma Chenguang's Natural Magical Seed was actually the famous "Sky-Piercing Thrust" of the Pegasus clan.
Of course, the Pegasus clan was the direct descendant of Jiao Daoren. After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, it was impossible for them to only have a few great spells that were comparable to the Sky-Piercing Thrust. However, the difference between the Sky-Piercing Thrust and other great spells was that after this spell was created, it had been perfected and improved by several generations of Pegasus practitioners. On the basis of the Sky-Piercing Thrust, they had created another supreme spell, the "Sky-Piercing Thrust"!
If one wanted to learn the supreme Sky-Piercing Thrust, then the Sky-Piercing Thrust was a great spell that the practitioner had to master. Ma Chenguang had successfully condensed the Sky-Piercing Thrust when he reached the Dharma stage. It was obvious that he was aiming for the supreme "Sky-Piercing Thrust". Once he reached the mid Dharma stage, he would be able to raise the quality of his magical seed and the "Sky-Piercing Thrust" would become the "Sky-Piercing Thrust". Then, Ma Chenguang would be able to stand up to the direct practitioners of the five holy lands.
Although Ma Chenguang was well-known in the Western Wilderness, when compared to his fourth brother, Ma Chenxi, he seemed to be overtaken by the latecomers.
Ma Chenxi was known as the number one genius of the Pegasus clan in a thousand years. From birth until now, he had only trained for 150 years and had already reached the ninth level of the Core Forging stage.
Although such a fast training speed was rare, it was not unheard of in the world of practitioners. However, to be able to maintain such a strong foundation under such a fast training speed, and to be able to strengthen the foundation even more, it could be said that in the world of practitioners, there were only a few who could do so.
However, this fourth young master was good at many things, except for one thing: he was lustful!
However, this was nothing in the eyes of others. In the world of practitioners, there were countless women who were willing to train for the fourth young master's status as a member of the Pegasus clan. However, there were only a few who could catch the attention of the fourth young master.
This time, it was said that the fourth young master, Ma Chenxi, was leading the Pegasus clan into the river source. The fourth young master had also announced that this time, he was here to advance to the peak of the Core Forging stage and condense a ninth-level Golden Core.
