Lu Ping's heart was beating like a war drum, and the blood vessels in his veins were like the waves of the Yulan River, crashing against the banks of the river.
This was Lu Ping's ninth attempt to break through the bottleneck of the ninth stage of Core Forging. At this time, the core space had reached its limit, and the Dan mist had filled the entire space.
If Lu Ping couldn't break through to the Ninth Layer Core Forging Realm, then his heart core wouldn't be able to withstand the expansion of his arcane energy. However, if Lu Ping continued to break through to the Ninth Layer Core Forging Realm, then he would have to continuously circulate the [North Sea Wave Listening Scripture] to infuse the refined arcane energy into his heart core, further accelerating the expansion of his dan glow.
At this time, Lu Ping had reached a critical juncture.
Just as Lu Ping's heart was burning with anxiety, Linglong, who had not responded for a long time, finally moved. A ball of purple light rushed out of the wine cauldron and entered Lu Ping's core space through his chest.
Lu Ping was startled at first, but when he saw the ball of purple light, he was overjoyed. He quickly used his divine sense to take control of it, and then the ball of purple light began to evolve.
Similar to the things Lu Ping had obtained from the three spiritual beasts, this ball of purple light was also a catalyst for the formation of a divine ability talisman.
A large amount of Dan Xia purple mist gathered towards the purple light sphere. While the purple light sphere was transforming into a talisman, it absorbed a large amount of Zhen Yuan essence in the core space for its own use. Only then did the expansion of the Dan Xia was temporarily controlled, and the pressure in the core space was greatly reduced.
What kind of divine ability talisman would be formed this time?
Lu Ping was naturally looking forward to it.
A talisman quickly formed in the middle of the Dan mist. Lu Ping couldn't care less about the critical moment of his training, so he sent a strand of his divine sense into the talisman to investigate.
[Art of the Azure Serpent Sea Disturbance]!
Lu Ping curled his lips in dissatisfaction. Another sword technique that wasn't originally a great divine ability had been upgraded by him. Like the [Art of Water Manipulation] and the [Art of Sea Deception], although the [Art of the Azure Serpent Sea Disturbance] played an important role in Lu Ping's early training, its quality wasn't at the level of a great divine ability.
After Lu Ping absorbed the ball of purple light, Lu Ping could clearly feel that the [Art of the Azure Serpent Sea Disturbance] had a qualitative improvement.
However, Lu Ping was still a little dissatisfied. Why couldn't it be the [Art of the Azure Waves], or the [Art of All Rivers Flow into the Sea], which were originally great divine abilities, great divine abilities, or great divine abilities?
This thought flashed through Lu Ping's mind. After all, it seemed that the formation of this thing was very difficult to control. However, Lu Ping took this opportunity to fully circulate the [Art of North Sea Wave Listening]. His blood flowed in his veins, and with a thought, Lu Ping condensed a purple sword light on the surface of the talisman floating in the middle of the Dan mist in the core space, and completely integrated into his veins.
After the purple sword light integrated into his veins, Lu Ping suddenly felt as if his veins had suddenly gained an indomitable momentum. It seemed that no matter what obstacles there were in front of him, he would inevitably have the confidence to break through them.
[Art of the [Art of the East], what was the meaning of [Art of the East]?
What was needed was an indomitable momentum and the drive to not give up until the goal was achieved!
Pure Yang Qi, pure Yang Qi, it turned out that pure Yang Qi had such a magical effect. It contained a divine ability within the inner Yuan, and it didn't need to be visible on the outside. It could kill people invisibly with just a wave of one's hand, and it could move according to one's heart. How carefree was this? Was this the realm of 'Words Become Law'?
This realm was usually reached after a cultivator had advanced to the Dharma Adept stage and achieved a divine ability!
How could Lu Ping still have the time to be surprised? With such a characteristic of the inner Yuan, it would be of great help to him in breaking through to the ninth level of the Core Forging stage. It was a good time for him to give it his all.
Lu Ping worked hard to compress the purple Dan mist towards the golden core in the center of the core space. At this moment, the huge golden core was also covered with a layer of purple light.
It was as if a layer of dull thunder had exploded in the core space. The golden core that sat motionless in the center of the core space finally moved under the influence of the [North Sea Wave Listening Technique].
Lu Ping was overjoyed. Under his unremitting efforts, the last window paper of the ninth level of the Core Forging stage had finally split open a shallow crack.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. As long as this crack was opened, Lu Ping believed that breaking through to the ninth level of the Core Forging stage would be a matter of time.
The more water a dam was filled with, the stronger it would be. However, once the dam had an ant hole, it meant that the dam was not far from collapsing. Once the flood finally broke through the dam, it would definitely be a spectacular scene of a thousand miles of water gushing out.
The True Essence in his body was like a never-ending river, wave after wave crashing into that crack.
The golden core, which had been shaken by the red glow, once again let out a thunderous sound in the core space. The golden core, which was suspended in the center of the core space, finally began to rotate slowly. Eight strange dragons were constantly hovering on the surface of the golden core, as if cheering for something, and as if expecting something.
At this moment, the purple Dan mist surrounding the golden core suddenly disappeared. The entire space filled with the Dan mist suddenly formed an empty space with the golden core as the center. The surrounding Dan mist quickly squeezed in and occupied the previous space. The periphery of the Dan mist in the core space suddenly shrank. Lu Ping, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, finally let out a long breath.
The ninth level of the Core Forging stage was no longer a problem, but the process was still very long!
The dan glow that suddenly disappeared around the gold core was completely absorbed by the gold core. The reason why this happened to the gold core, which was supposed to absorb the dan glow gradually, was that an egg-like purple light spot suddenly appeared on the surface of the gold core.
The eight strange dragons were constantly hovering and flashing around this spot of light. The surrounding Dan glow was absorbed by the golden core at a speed several times faster than before, and then the visible purple lines on the surface of the golden core all the way into the purple spot of light.
After an unknown amount of time, the purple spot of light finally let out a burst sound, and the entire core space seemed to reverberate with a strange sound. Under the cover of this sound, the originally surging Dan mist calmed down. The twelve Genchen beads seemed to have stopped rotating in an instant, and the Seven Treasures Thunder Gourd also became a lot more well-behaved. The Linglong wine cauldron floating above Lu Ping's head also seemed to sense something. The entire wine cauldron shook for a moment, as if it couldn't hold on any longer, and smashed onto Lu Ping's head!
The light spot on the gold core emitted a dazzling purple light at the same time as the sound of the explosion. When the purple light dissipated, a strange dragon that was exactly the same as the other eight strange dragons appeared on the surface of the gold core, but its body was a size smaller. It was circling and playing with the other eight strange dragons as if it was celebrating something.
The ninth level of the Core Forging stage was finally completed!
Lu Ping used his Divine Sense to explore the situation in the core space while circulating his True Yuan to consolidate his newly advanced stage. The Dan mist continued to decrease. Although there was a steady flow of Spiritual Qi from the Linglong wine cauldron, it still couldn't keep up with the speed of the golden core's breathing. This was especially true for the ninth strange dragon, which was originally the weakest, but now it was rapidly growing.
Cultivators often needed about a year to consolidate their cultivation after advancing. Lu Ping used the pure Spiritual Qi from the Linglong wine cauldron to make a breakthrough in just half a year. With such an abundant supply of Spiritual Qi in the remaining half a year, Lu Ping easily consolidated his cultivation of the ninth level of the Core Forging stage. He no longer needed to worry about his cultivation fluctuating.
It had been more than four years since Lu Ping entered the river source. At this time, the more peripheral spirit gathering areas in the Sacred Lake were ready to open one after another. The deeper one went into the Sacred Lake, the later the spirit gathering area would open. The final opening of the river source would be a year later. When Lu Ping and the other cultivators came out of seclusion in the spirit gathering area, who knew how chaotic the Sacred Lake would be?
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Lu Ping stared blankly at the tremors on the ground. In the center of the cave mansion, a hole seemed to be gradually forming from nothing, from small to large.
Sure enough, there was another cave mansion below. Presumably, the area of that cave mansion was even narrower than this one. Could this spirit gathering area really have been created by Jiao Daoren with the horn on his head?
The hole gradually expanded, and it looked like it could accommodate Lu Ping's body.
Just as Lu Ping was about to walk out of the cave, he suddenly heard a long groan coming from the cave. It seemed to be far away, but at the same time, it gave Lu Ping a familiar feeling!
Lu Ping's expression changed. How could it form so quickly!?
According to his previous experience, when the hole opened, the Spiritual Qi in the cave mansion had just begun to gather. After Lu Ping entered the cave mansion, the Spiritual Qi Behemoth would form.
However, this time, just as Lu Ping was about to walk towards the hole, a strong Spiritual Qi with a tyrannical impact suddenly spewed out from the cave mansion.
This sudden explosive force caused Lu Ping to hurriedly stop his footsteps. The light curtain hanging down from the Water Control Flag was directly pushed back by three feet by the residual force of the shockwave.
Linglong jumped out of nowhere. Looking at the hole in front of her, she suddenly frowned and shouted, "Not good, the thing down there has already opened its spiritual wisdom, it's going to rush out!"
Lu Ping's heart trembled. A bluish-purple True Essence emerged from behind him, and under the control of the Water Control Art, it formed a huge True Essence water net above the hole.
After advancing to the Ninth Layer Core Forging Realm, Lu Ping's Arcane Essence contained a trace of Pure Yang Qi. With the help of the incantation charms, his Arcane Essence also contained the power of the Water Manipulation Art. In the end, the water net he weaved was twice as powerful as before.
"It's coming out!"
As soon as Linglong's voice fell, a white fog once again spewed out from the hole. This time, it was different from the previous Spiritual Qi. Lu Ping could feel a strong vitality coming from it.
It was a ball of extremely condensed spiritual energy. There seemed to be something hidden in the white mist, and it was impossible to see its head or tail. And it was precisely the thing hidden in the white mist that made Lu Ping's heart beat faster. He even felt a sense of a bloodline connection between the spiritual energy and the spiritual energy!
Strange! Strange! Strange!
