Xie Tianyang had now rushed ahead of Ma Chenxi and Li Tong. Just now, after Xie Tianyang had pointed out the worries in the hearts of the two people, he had taken the first step and arrived at the bottom of the nine thousand feet deep lake.
Ma Chenxi and Li Tong looked at each other and immediately followed. However, after a while, the two of them lost track of Xie Tianyang.
Xie Tianyang's stealth speed in Sacred Lake was definitely not as fast as the two of them. Either Xie Tianyang had used an extremely powerful stealth magic, or Xie Tianyang had found a spiritual energy gathering ground at the bottom of the lake, which was more than nine thousand feet deep.
Although there was a power at the bottom of Sacred Lake that could distort a cultivator's spiritual will, Ma Chenxi and Li Tong did not think that Xie Tianyang could shake off their pursuit at such a close distance. Then, there was only one possibility left. Xie Tianyang had actually entered a spiritual energy gathering ground, and the protective array of the spiritual energy gathering ground had automatically activated after Xie Tianyang crashed into it, concealing his tracks.
There were a total of five spiritual energy gathering grounds at the bottom of the lake, which was more than nine thousand feet deep. Even though Pegasus and Koi were frequent visitors to Sacred Lake, it was difficult for them to determine the locations of these five spiritual energy gathering grounds. Although Purple Sun Palace was more powerful than the two clans, their sphere of influence did not cover the entire Western Wilderness, so their familiarity with Sacred Lake was definitely far inferior to the two clans.
In that case, there was only one possibility. Xie Tianyang's luck was simply too good. He had actually encountered a spiritual energy gathering ground not far from the bottom of the lake and entered it without knowing it.
The ripples on the lake waters behind them grew increasingly violent. Clearly, an increasing number of cultivators had entered Sacred Fall Lake. Additionally, some powerful cultivators were already making their way towards the depths of Sacred Fall Lake. They were getting closer and closer to the two of them.
There were still three spiritual energy gathering grounds at nine thousand feet deep. If they could not find them before the others arrived, then Pegasus and Koi would probably become the laughingstock of others.
Lu Ping turned into a cave that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Suddenly, he felt the ground beneath his feet loosen. Lu Ping hurriedly channeled his Essential Essence to stabilize his body, but unexpectedly, the Essential Essence in his body suddenly did not listen to him, and his body sank.
Dong!
As soon as Lu Ping's feet touched the ground, he quickly squatted down. This time, he had fallen to a height of 100 feet. Without the protection of True Essence, Lu Ping could only rely on the strength of his body to withstand the impact of falling 100 feet.
Even though Lu Ping's physical body was no longer weaker than that of an ordinary Dharma adept, falling from such a high place without any form of defense had caused Lu Ping to experience the panic and shortness of breath that only mortals would experience.
However, as Lu Ping was falling, the Essential Essence within Lu Ping's body stirred and he regained control over his Essential Essence. Lu Ping's thoughts flowed rapidly, calming down the trembling of his internal organs. Then, Lu Ping abruptly stood up and his divine will spread out in all directions. Both his eyes scanned his surroundings. At the same time, a small, somewhat tattered, black flag rose up above his head. A bluish-purple curtain of light descended from the small flag, protecting Lu Ping within it.
There was a space that had been opened up from within the stone walls. The space had a radius of around 300 feet and there was only the surrounding stone walls and the ground. Lu Ping raised his head to look at the sky above him, only to see nothing but darkness. There was no end to it.
Lu Ping flew up into the sky, leaping up to a height of 10 feet. However, no matter how hard Lu Ping tried, he was unable to increase his flying altitude by even a little bit.
The thick spiritual energy around him made Lu Ping feel as comfortable as if he was soaking in a hot spring. It seemed that this was indeed a spiritual energy gathering place. However, he had never heard that the spiritual energy gathering place of Sacred Lake Sunset was an embedded space.
Looking at the empty stone mansion around him, he wondered if he would have to spend the next four to five years in seclusion here.
However, even if it was for seclusion, there was no need to open up such a large space!
Just as Lu Ping was about to look for a place to sit down and seclude himself here, he wanted to experience just what kind of wondrous things existed within Sacred Lake Sunset. To think that it could actually allow a cultivator to increase his cultivation level by at least one level within four to five years. Suddenly, the stone chamber changed once again.
According to Lu Ping's divine sense, the thick spiritual energy in his surroundings began to vibrate slowly the moment Lu Ping regained control over the primary energy within his body.
In the beginning, Lu Ping did not notice it. However, as the vibrations of the spiritual energy grew more intense, Lu Ping began to focus on the fluctuations of the spiritual energy. Then, he noticed that the spiritual energy in the entire stone chamber had begun to slowly swirl towards the centre of the stone chamber.
The surrounding spiritual energy kept converging towards the centre of the stone chamber. Gradually, a spiritual energy storm formed in the periphery. Then, a massive spiritual energy vortex formed in the centre of the stone chamber.
Lu Ping's eyes were focused on the centre of the vortex. The spiritual energy there was constantly converging and compressing and a vast amount of power began to condense. The power gave Lu Ping a sense of potential threat.
A colorful cloud suddenly rose around Lu Ping. The cloud gradually dispersed and gradually merged with the bluish-purple light curtain hanging down from the water-controlling flag.
A series of whistling sounds came from the spiritual energy whirlpool, and the spiritual energy from all directions was still gathering towards the center. It was unknown where the spiritual energy in the stone room came from, but it seemed that there was no interruption at all.
Lu Ping's expression gradually became solemn. His divine sense was very sensitive. At this time, he had already sensed that there was a rhythmic beating in the centre of the spiritual energy. The beating was becoming more and more condensed and powerful.
Lu Ping's expression gradually changed because he could sense that there was a steady and powerful beating in the centre of the spiritual energy. Waves of vitality gradually appeared and became more and more abundant. A heart condensed purely from spiritual energy appeared in the centre of the spiritual energy.
Clang! Clang!
Feeling the danger, Lu Ping pointed with two of his fingers. The Autumn Waters Sword followed the blood vessels in Lu Ping's body and swam out of the heart space. In the end, it came out from the tip of his finger. It was like two swordfish swimming around Lu Ping's body, ready to launch a counterattack at any time against any possible threat.
After the spiritual energy heart formed, a long, distant hiss came from the spiritual energy vortex. It seemed to come from ancient times, when the world was first formed.
A distant, mysterious pressure came from it, rushing towards Lu Ping. His blood was immediately stirred up an urge to worship, as if he was paying respect to an ancient ancestor.
Lu Ping's divine sense resisted this mysterious power that could touch his blood vessels. The eight strange dragons in the heart space quickly circled around the surface of the golden core, as if they wanted to charge out. Lu Ping's entire aura changed. A mysterious aura rose from Lu Ping's body. The ripples of the blood vessels in his body quickly calmed down, and the mysterious power from the spiritual energy vortex was quickly neutralised.
At this moment, the surrounding spiritual energy finally stopped gathering. The huge amount of spiritual energy that had condensed in the centre of the stone chamber had formed a spiritual mist that was almost liquefied.
Dong!
The entire ground shook, as if an ancient beast had traversed through space and time to walk towards Lu Ping.
Dong!
Another sound was heard. A thick giant claw broke through the spiritual mist and stepped on the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble. However, the strange thing was that the sound from the ground seemed to give Lu Ping a feeling that the ground was hollow. However, at this moment, Lu Ping did not have time to think about the reason.
This giant claw gave Lu Ping a very familiar feeling. At this moment, a flat, long, and open mouth suddenly emerged from the spiritual mist as the giant claw landed on the ground. Dense, sharp teeth flickered with spiritual energy as they bit towards the top of Lu Ping's head.
Primordial Giant Crocodile!
Lu Ping let out a strange cry and quickly flew backwards, avoiding the bite of the giant mouth. At the same time, he raised his right hand towards the sky. Landslide whistled down from the sky and smashed into the head of the giant crocodile that was rushing towards Lu Ping. The crocodile's huge head was smashed downwards, and it had no choice but to stop its pursuit of Lu Ping.
Lu Ping dodged this attack and landed on the ground in the distance. When he looked at the Primordial Giant Crocodile, he found that the dense spiritual mist was constantly shrinking. The Primordial Giant Crocodile's body and tail were gradually revealed as the spiritual mist disappeared.
This was a Primordial Giant Crocodile that was completely condensed from spiritual energy!
Looking at this giant beast with a cultivation level of Core Forging Stage in front of him, Lu Ping's expression became very serious. He could feel the huge power contained in this Spirit Giant Crocodile's body. This power made Lu Ping's heart palpitate.
A pair of huge bowl-sized eyes suddenly opened, and Lu Ping felt as if the stone room had suddenly become bright. The Spirit Giant Crocodile opened its mouth and let out a strange long hiss, then rushed towards Lu Ping.
The Ocean Crossing Boat under Lu Ping's feet flashed out. Against such a huge monster, Lu Ping could only use fast movement to fight it.
The Primordial Giant Crocodile's giant foot fell from the sky, and the entire ground was completely caved in by the Primordial Giant Crocodile's giant foot. However, before Lu Ping could use the Dual Flying Sword, the Giant Crocodile had already opened its giant mouth and bit towards Lu Ping who was flying in the air.
In desperation, Lu Ping could only use the Dual Flying Sword to stir the Giant Crocodile's mouth. The Giant Crocodile suddenly let out a long hiss that sounded like a painful roar. Its giant head and its giant mouth swung, and a huge force came from the Dual Flying Sword. Lu Ping was immediately shaken away. At the same time, a few flashing Spirit Teeth flew out of the Giant Crocodile's mouth and then evaporated into a few dense Spirit Energies that gathered in Lu Ping's body.
Lu Ping didn't understand and wanted to dodge, but these Spirit Energies were like tarsal bones. No matter how Lu Ping used an escape technique, he couldn't get rid of these small Spirit Energies.
While Lu Ping was feeling uneasy, the few Spirit Energies pierced into Lu Ping's body. Lu Ping felt a stabbing pain in his body. These thin strands of Spirit Energies immediately entered his blood vessels and turned into surging True Essence Qi. Unexpectedly, there was no need for Lu Ping to refine it. It integrated with the True Essence produced by the North Sea Wave Listening Technique. It followed along the blood vessels and gathered in the core space.
