Lu Ping followed a thin stream of water. If it weren't for the fact that the stream didn't show any signs of weakening after passing through so many regions, Lu Ping would've lost his patience a long time ago. Who would've thought that the source of the second largest river in the Middle Earth was this hair-thin stream?
However, just as Lu Ping followed the stream of water, both his Gold Core and his bloodline in the core space regained their previous throbbing towards the mysterious power. Lu Ping knew that he was getting closer and closer to his destination.
However, at that moment, a loud roar could be heard from upstream of the stream of water.
Lu Ping frowned. The small pool of water in the meadow in this direction was getting thinner and thinner, so it should not attract too many cultivators. Why did it sound like there was a chaotic battle ahead?
Lu Ping did not want to get involved in this mess, but the perception of the mysterious power in his bloodline clearly told Lu Ping that his destination was right ahead, where the chaotic battle was taking place.
Could it be that there was someone like him who could sense the abnormality in the source of the river? Or could it be that the Sacred Lake was there, and the people fighting had already entered the Sacred Lake before him?
Although there were many wonders in the Sacred Lake, it was undeniable that the cultivators who entered the Sacred Lake first would undoubtedly obtain the greatest benefits.
There were a total of 100 places where spiritual energy gathered in the Sacred Lake. Not only did the 100 places have extremely thick spiritual energy to ensure that cultivators could enter reclusive cultivation, each place was also protected by a small-scale, natural-looking magic array. Once a cultivator entered the place, the magic array would automatically activate and other cultivators would no longer be able to enter.
The 100 places where spiritual energy gathered gradually increased in intensity, and the outermost place could guarantee that a cultivator's cultivation base would increase by one level in four to five years of seclusion.
In fact, ever since the opening of the Sacred Fall Lake, the cultivators who occupied the deepest part of the lake where the spiritual energy gathered would have a greater harvest.
If the area in front of them was really where the Sacred Settling Lake was, then this chaotic battle would definitely attract the attention of other cultivators. Once there were more people, there would undoubtedly be more variables if they wanted to seize the initiative in the Sacred Settling Lake with their individual strength.
Lu Ping grabbed the [Cloudy Light Five Elemental Cloak] with his right hand and tugged on it. The cloak instantly transformed from its previous tight-fitting appearance into a cloak that supported Lu Ping's [Sea Deceiving Art]. The cloak turned into a thin stream of water that flowed along the current and headed toward the battlefield.
Although the Li Fire Heavenly Yang Sword in Xie Tianyang's hand was somewhat restricted in the river source, it still made him extremely sensitive to the flow of water vapor nearby.
With a single sword, Xie Tianyang forced Li Tong, who had transformed into the Heavenly Gate and summoned the torrential sword river, to retreat. The overwhelming true fire even showed signs of drying up the heavenly river, forcing Li Tong to change the path of the sword river.
"Something's wrong!"
Xie Tianyang shouted, causing Ma Chenxi and Li Tong to be stunned. Xie Tianyang then said, "Someone has snuck in. What a brilliant water escape technique. Quick, cut off the water vein of the Sacred Lake!"
In a place filled with water vapor, Xie Tianyang, a cultivator who cultivated pure Yang fire, was even more sensitive to water vapor than Li Tong, who cultivated water attribute techniques. Ma Chenxi and Li Tong did not doubt him. They had already confirmed the location of the Sacred Lake and naturally discovered the water vein of the Sacred Lake that led to the river source. Hence, they joined forces with Xie Tianyang to attack the palm-sized water vein around the Sacred Lake.
Lu Ping had already seen the palm-sized pool of water. At this moment, Lu Ping could already confirm that there was a huge lake space hidden in this small pool of water. The strong feeling in his bloodline also told Lu Ping that the thing he wanted was in the pool of water.
This small pool of water was most likely the Sacred Lake. Otherwise, the three people in front of him would not be fighting here. The three of them were very powerful. Lu Ping could tell that one of them was from the Tenma people, one was from the Koi race, and the last was a human cultivator.
What shocked Lu Ping was the strength these three people displayed in the battle. Lu Ping was sure that among the cultivators of the same level, these three people should be the most powerful cultivators Lu Ping had ever seen.
Lu Ping originally wanted to take advantage of the battle between the three people to enter the Sacred Lake and reap the benefits. Unexpectedly, the cultivator with the fire attribute sword technique that Lu Ping greatly admired discovered Lu Ping's traces when he was only 300 feet away from the Sacred Lake.
Unfortunately, if Lu Ping could get within 200 feet, even if he was discovered by the other three and besieged by them, Lu Ping was confident that he would be the first to enter the Sacred Lake before the three of them.
Now that things had come to this, Lu Ping could not avoid it. Although the Fated Autumn Waters Sword Combination was still not comparable to the Li Fire Celestial Yang Sword that had condensed nine treasured restrictions, Lu Ping's water attribute qi was vast. Borrowing the majestic water vapor of the river source, he could restrain Xie Tianyang's fire attribute qi.
Lu Ping coveted Li Tong's Heavenly Gate Sword Formation. Although he knew that the True Essence Unity Sword Technique that he had learned was only a small branch of the Heavenly Gate Sword Formation, this did not hinder Lu Ping from coveting the Koi race's supreme divine ability.
The Flowing Sword soared into the sky, and similarly, a Milky Way descended, but with an unstoppable momentum, it collided with Li Tong's "Milky Way Descends" great divine ability.
However, the result caused Li Tong to turn pale with fright. The sword wave set off by Lu Ping's Great River Flows East had suppressed the sword river summoned from the Heavenly Gate in one fell swoop.
This time, Ma Chenxi did not use the Breaking Wind Thorn, but rather puppets!
Three puppets with the strength of Core Forging charged towards Lu Ping. These three puppets, one in front and two behind, unexpectedly brought about the imposing manner of ten thousand horses galloping.
Lu Ping stamped his foot. The river source was full of water, and there was underground water flowing not too deep underground. A stream of water burst out from the ground under Lu Ping's stamp. Then, under the control of the Water Manipulation Art, it successively condensed into three tripping ropes on the ground.
Ma Chenxi's expression changed, and the seals in her hands continuously changed. The three puppets were about to leap over the first tripping rope, but unexpectedly, Lu Ping's control of the Water Manipulation Art had already reached the point of perfection. The three tripping ropes sprang up at the same time, and one of the puppets' front legs was tangled by one rope. The remaining two tripping ropes ruthlessly whipped the puppet horse's body, and the puppet horse fell head first to the ground. A small part of its head was smashed open, and various parts made of spiritual materials were scattered all over the ground.
Ma Chenxi looked at his beloved puppet horse, and couldn't help but feel distressed. He hurriedly retrieved the remaining two puppets, and only then did he raise his head to look at Lu Ping.
"It's you! North Sea cultivator Lu Xuanping! "
At this time, Ma Chenxi had obviously already received the news from his third brother, Ma Chenguang. A Core Forging stage cultivator who could escape from his third brother's hands was enough to arouse Ma Chenxi's interest. Although Ma Chenguang brought the news to him to tell him to treat it cautiously, and not lose the bigger picture because of a small gain, Ma Chenguang clearly didn't know his brother well enough.
Lu Ping made three moves in a row, and blocked the attacks of the three people. Originally, Lu Ping was considering whether to retreat first. After all, if he were to become enemies with these three people, Lu Ping really didn't have the confidence to win. Moreover, Ma Chenxi and Li Tong were local tyrants, and they had a group of clansmen waiting for their summons at any time.
Unexpectedly, after Lu Ping blocked the attacks of the three people, the three people unexpectedly didn't attack Lu Ping again. Instead, they retreated together, including Lu Ping, forming a confrontation with each other in a quadrilateral.
"Today can be regarded as a meeting of the wind and clouds!"
Xie Tianyang clapped his hands at Lu Ping and said with a smile, "I didn't expect there to be a person like you in North Sea, which has greatly changed our view of the North Sea cultivation world. I heard that North Sea is now dominated by Zhenling, Xuanling, and Canghai Sects. May I know which sect you are from?"
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. In his opinion, most cultivators in the Central Plains were prejudiced against the North Sea cultivation world. They believed that the North Sea cultivation world was a remote and desolate place that couldn't produce any decent cultivators. Therefore, apart from geographical factors, when the Central Plains cultivators talked about the cultivation world, they often ignored the North Sea cultivation world. North Sea cultivators were rare in the Central Plains to begin with, so even if they did, they would usually be looked down upon.
Under such circumstances, there should be very, very few people who understood the North Sea cultivation world, and it could even be said that they disdained to understand the situation of the North Sea cultivation world.
But now, Xie Tianyang's question clearly told Lu Ping that the North Sea cultivation world had not faded from the view of the Middle Sea cultivation world. At least, as one of the large sects in Middle Sea, the Ziyang Palace was very familiar with the situation of the North Sea cultivation world.
Lu Ping smiled with some surprise and said, "Friend, you are quite familiar with my North Sea. I am Lu Xuanping of the North Sea Zhenling. Greetings to all of you!"
"Are you really a North Sea cultivator?"
Li Tong frowned and asked, "There is the Primordial Crocodile clan in North Sea. I wonder if you know a cultivator called Ao Chuang. Back then, this person was quite talented. If he had not died in Middle Sea, he would be a Dharma adept by now and should have some fame!"
"Haha, the famous Golden Serpent Laozu can be considered famous in North Sea!"
Lu Ping was more and more certain that in the eyes of these influential forces in the cultivation world, North Sea had never strayed away from the world of cultivation.
"Tsk, Golden Serpent Laozu?"
Li Tong sneered and said, "That stupid crocodile is worthy of calling himself a 'serpent'. How arrogant of him!"
Lu Ping did not think much of it. Peng Daoren and Jiao Daoren were the two most powerful people among the Seventh Patriarch when the sky was split open. These two people's fame in the cultivation world far exceeded that of the other five ancestors, and they enjoyed a high status in the cultivation world. This Primordial Crocodile Ao Chuang actually called himself "Golden Serpent Laozu", which was indeed a taboo. This was also in North Sea. If it was in Middle Sea, Ao Chuang would be challenged by countless people, and even the Primordial Crocodile clan would not be able to protect him.
