The battle between Xuan Ling Sect and Zhenling Sect on Xuan Qi Island seemed to be getting more intense. At the same time, the battlefield seemed to have become a training ground for their disciples. Lu Ping could see new faces appearing from the teleportation array every day to join the battle. There were also cultivators who had participated in the battle leaving through the teleportation array.
Some cultivators even started to sell things on Xuan Qi Island. It seemed like Xuan Qi Island was their logistics base. Lu Ping's wallet had been bulging recently. He bought some spiritual herbs and talisman papers from Xuan Qi Island's Zero Hour Market to practice his pill-concocting and talisman-crafting skills.
Master Immortal Liu had participated in a few battles in the early stages of the battle. It was said that he had taken the lives of five to seven late Xuan Ling Sect cultivators. But recently, he had been in seclusion. Initially, Lu Ping thought that Master Immortal Liu was injured. But when he went to the cultivation room, he found out that Master Immortal Liu's cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. He was about to break through to the Eighth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm.
Xuan Ling Sect finally lost its patience. One day, Xuan Ling Sect's Feng Xutao suddenly crippled a late Zhenling Blood Condensation disciple's cultivation. The reason was that this disciple had disrespected the authority of a Core Forging Enlightened Master by speaking arrogantly in front of Feng Xutao and threatening Xuan Ling Sect's disciples. In order to protect the dignity of a Core Forging Enlightened Master, Feng Xutao had no choice but to punish him lightly.
When the news spread, the disciples of Zhenling Sect were in an uproar. Zhenling immediately denounced Xuan Ling Sect's atrocities in the North Sea Alliance. At the same time, Zhenling's Enlightened Master, Jiang Xuanlin, personally went to Feng Xutao and engaged in a fierce battle in the sky above the border between the two sects. During the battle, the shockwaves from the battle 'accidentally' spread and killed three to four Xuan Ling Sect cultivators who were watching the battle. They were all late Blood Condensation Realm cultivators.
The battle between the Core Forging Enlightened Masters seemed to have ignited the tension between the two sects. The previous battle between the Blood Condensation Realm disciples seemed to be a warm-up for the battle between the Core Forging Enlightened Masters.
After the Core Forging Enlightened Masters of Xuan Ling Sect and Zhen Ling Sect clashed in Qi Island's waters, battles also broke out in Xuan Sheng Island's waters, Xuan Yun Island's waters, Xuan Chang Island's waters, and Xuan Yuan Island's waters. According to Hu Lili, although the battle was limited to these five islands' waters, both sides had sent in nearly a thousand Blood Condensation Realm cultivators to fight in the air. At the same time, there were also Core Forging Enlightened Masters fighting in the air. Many Blood Condensation Realm cultivators were caught in the crossfire and killed by the aftershocks of the Enlightened Masters' battles. Because of this, most Blood Condensation Realm cultivators would stay as far away as possible when they heard about Core Forging Enlightened Masters fighting.
At the same time, the other sects in the North Sea — the Azure Sea Sect and the Azure Waves Sect, and the Jade Sword Sect and the Soaring Feather Sect — were also engaged in fights between Blood Condensation disciples. It was rumored that Core Forging cultivators were also fighting each other.
On the eleventh day of the ninth month, Xuan Qi Island was the same as usual. Cultivators went out to sea and did their business. Suddenly, seven streaks of light flew out from the island, heading towards the southern sea.
At this moment, the cultivators on Xuan Qi Island were in an uproar. Although there were Core Forging Enlightened Masters fighting each other at sea, both sides were like generals in a battle. Today you come find me, tomorrow I'll fight you. Although both sides won and lost, there were no casualties.
Now that the seven Core Forging Enlightened Masters of Zhenling had come out, it seemed like they were going to fight for real. For a moment, the people on the island were doing all sorts of things. Most of them flew towards the sea, not wanting to miss this unprecedented battle. Although it was dangerous, Zhenling had taken the initiative this time, so it was obvious that they had a good chance of winning. The cultivators also wanted to get a share of the spoils when Zhenling won.
There were also some rogue cultivators who left Xuan Qi Island through the teleportation array. Along with them were some timid cultivators, afraid that they would be caught up in the ensuing battle.
Two hours later, loud rumbling sounds came from the southern sea. It seemed that Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect's Core Forging Enlightened Masters were fighting. The cultivators who stayed on the island all stood by the sea, looking towards the southern sea.
From time to time, cultivators who returned from the sea would bring back news. Overall, it seemed that Zhenling's momentum was higher and he had the upper hand.
At noon, a loud noise suddenly came from the surface of the sea. All the cultivators on the island looked towards the southern part of the sea and saw that in the distance, the sea water rose up into the sky like a curtain, forming a magnificent wall of water in the sky. Then, this wall of water moved downwards, forming a huge ball of water with a radius of several miles. All the cultivators on the island were dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on. They anxiously waited for the cultivators who returned from the sea to bring back the latest news. However, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, not a single cultivator returned from the sea.
Many impatient cultivators decided to go out to the sea to see for themselves. Some were alone, some were in groups. Half of the cultivators on Xuan Qi Island had already left.
Just as these impatient cultivators left Xuan Qi Island, an injured Zhenling cultivator stumbled back with shocking news. The North Sea monster spirits were invading!
Aside from the disciples who stayed behind to guard the island, all the cultivators on Xuan Qi Island, including Lu Ping and those who hadn't yet reached Blood Condensation like Shi Lingling, set off for the sea.
The North Sea monster spirits were the enemies of the entire North Sea Alliance. It could be said that one of the main reasons the North Sea Alliance was established was to guard against and compete with the monster spirits.
When Lu Ping and the others arrived at the border between the two sects, the sea was already in a state of chaos. The human cultivators and the monster spirits were all tangled up in a mess. Clearly, the monster spirits' sudden appearance had disrupted the two sects' plans. Many Zhenling disciples and Xuan Ling disciples joined forces to fight against the monster spirits.
At this moment, the disciples of the two sects strangely put aside their grudges and fought together against the monster spirits.
The reinforcements from Xuan Qi Island didn't feel the slightest bit depressed. They all joined the battle against the monster spirits. Lu Ping, Yao Yong, Du Feng, Zhong Jian, Ma Yu, Shi Lingling, and Leng Qian formed a simple Seven Star Formation. The strongest ones, Lu Ping and Ma Yu, were in charge of the formation. They found two early Blood Condensation monster spirits and attacked.
Lu Ping's group of seven was weak and didn't dare to approach the center of the battlefield. They only circled around the periphery and killed a few early Blood Condensation monster spirits. This made Shi Lingling extremely excited. Yao Yong and Zhong Jian's blood boiled as well. They all suggested going to the center of the battlefield.
Du Feng remained silent. Ma Yu and Leng Qian were virtuous ladies, so they didn't voice their opinions. Lu Ping, on the other hand, had fought with late Blood Condensation cultivators before. He knew that no matter if they were monster spirits or cultivators, they weren't something their team could handle. Thus, he firmly opposed the idea.
At this moment, another loud sonic boom rang out from the sea!
