Lu Ping knew very well why Qing Li Laozu had given gifts to Tian Xiang, Laozu, and his teacher, Tian Ling, Laozu. However, this was also something that surprised him.
In the past, no large sect would take the initiative to curry favor with a medium-sized sect. Moreover, Zhenling was located in the North Sea. In the future, even if they wanted to send the teleportation formation to the Middle Earth and connect the North Sea and the Middle Earth's cultivation world, Zhenling should be the one asking the Tianxuan Sect.
However, Qing Li Laozu's actions made people feel like they were asking Zhenling to speed up its rise and begging Zhenling to build the teleportation formation that connected the two cultivation worlds in the Tianxuan Sect in the future.
It seemed that although he saw the crisis of the Tianxuan Sect being suppressed by the five sacred grounds, the crisis seemed to be much more serious than Lu Ping had imagined. It even reached the point where the Tianxuan Sect had to put down its reputation as a large, established force.
If that was the case, was the alliance between Zhenling and the Tianxuan Sect right?
According to Lu Ping's original plan, even if the Tianxuan Sect was suppressed by the five sacred grounds, the Tianxuan Sect was still a sect with nearly 20,000 years of history. It had been a large sect for more than 10,000 years. With such a heritage and the help of the Crystal Palace, which was also a sacred ground, even if the five sacred grounds wanted to suppress it, it would not be effective in a short period of time.
Zhenling wanted to use the Tianxuan Sect's remaining prestige to rise while it had not lost its status as a large sect. Even if the Tianxuan Sect declined in the future, Zhenling would gradually grow stronger and leave the Middle Earth. Even if the Tianxuan Sect offended the five sacred grounds because of the Tianxuan Sect, it would not be worthwhile to go to the North Sea to deal with Zhenling.
Lu Ping left the pavilion in the middle of the lake. When he passed by the Tianxuan Mirror Lake, he wanted to use his Divine Telekinesis to explore the lake to see if he could find a Wuling Fish. However, when his Divine Telekinesis entered the lake, he suddenly found a person who looked like him.
Lu Ping was taken aback. This was obviously because his Divine Will was like a person looking into a mirror for the first time. He did not know that the light was reflected back, and he thought that there was another version of himself in the mirror.
This Mysterious Heaven Mirror Lake was not a mirror lake, it was clearly a magic treasure, and an extremely tyrannical magic treasure. At the very least, when it reflected the spiritual sense of a cultivator, the cultivator would unknowingly fall for it, giving the feeling that there was a world inside the mirror lake that was the same as their surroundings.
In the pavilion in the center of the lake, Qing Li Laozu watched Lu Ping's figure disappear into the distance. He silently sipped his tea, but at some point, a farmer-like old man had appeared in the pavilion.
"Senior Brother, can this Zhenling really grow up?"
Qing Li Laozu put down the teacup and asked softly without turning his head.
The farmer-like old man behind him was the current leader of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, the Pure Yang Grand Cultivator Qi Fan Laozu.
"Who can say for sure?"
Old Ancestor Seven Fans squatted down and washed his muddy hands in the lake water. Then, while shaking his hands, he stood up and said, "Draw a line from the Heavenly Mystery Sect to the east. After passing through the Storm Ocean, it will be the dividing line between the cultivation world of the North Sea and the East Sea. However, the possibility of the structure of the East Sea changing is not high. Although the Free and Unfettered Sect has risen, its predecessor's' boudoir 'is inextricably linked to the Heavenly Moon Sect. Not to mention that we are now at least nominally leaning towards the Crystal Palace. With the way the Crystal Palace does things, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a large sect to rise in the East Sea."
Qi Fan Laozu looked at the lake water under his feet that had become muddy when he washed his hands. Streaks of white lightning-like figures passed through the muddy water and then disappeared into the lake. Instead, the muddy lake water strangely became clear again with a flash of white light.
These white lights seemed to be devouring the mud that fell from Qi Fan Laozu's hands. Seeing this, Qing Li Laozu, who was sitting next to him, smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother, the soil in your garden is filled with Living Soil, Living Soil, Rolling Spirit Soil, Hundred Spirit Dew, Thousand Wonder Dew, and other precious things that can promote the growth of the spirit treasures in the garden. It can be said that every piece of soil is no less valuable than a Blood Condensation Realm medicinal pill. Are you going to feed them to the fishes just like that?"
Qi Fan Laozu ignored Qing Li Laozu's complaints and continued, "Although the situation of the North Sea's cultivation world seems to be in a state of disunity, the development of the North Sea's cultivation world has improved a lot in the past decade. It is said that a high-quality large spirit stone mine was discovered in the North Sea. The sects in the North Sea kept it a secret and then joined forces to sneak into the Middle Earth to steal the treasures left behind in the Yingtian Dojo, allowing the North Sea's cultivation world to make a huge leap in a short period of time.
"Among them, the most obvious increase in strength is this Zhenling. If there is anyone in the North Sea who is most likely to rise to become a large sect, then this Zhenling is without a doubt!
"But this is where the problem lies. The North Sea has been isolated from the Middle Earth for thousands of years. Which sect would easily accept a request from an unknown overseas sect to build a super-long-distance teleportation formation in their territory?"
At this point, Qing Li Laozu also began to understand a little. He continued Qing Li Laozu's words and said, "That's right. This Zhenling sent his most outstanding disciple to travel the Middle Earth. He was sure that this Lu Xuanping was not an ordinary person. As expected, he became famous in the Middle Earth after the battle in the Western Wilderness, and then he killed Fan Yuqing."
"This Zhenling has some plans. If he makes trouble in the cultivation world as a junior disciple, the fight between the juniors will naturally not involve the sect. At worst, he will just sacrifice a potential cultivator who has not yet grown up. If he becomes famous, not only will he spread the name of Zhenling, but he will also show the potential of Zhenling's rise through Lu Xuanping. This is a good way to ensure a good harvest."
Qi Fan Laozu nodded and said, "Perhaps this is part of the reason. It's just that this Zhenling seems to be under attack at the moment. Not only do the sects in the North Sea cultivation world not want to see an absolutely powerful sect dominate the North Sea, the North Sea Demon Race also seems to want to regroup under the guidance of the Primordial Crocodile. Moreover, the Crystal Palace also wants to intervene in the North Sea. If Zhenling wants to break out of this situation, he will have to face the simultaneous suppression of these forces. It is also a heavy burden and a long way to go!"
Lu Ping hid his tracks after coming down from the Tianxuan Mountains. He sent a message talisman to Perfected Qi Xuancai and Perfected Xuantian, who were waiting to participate in the Pure Yang Dharma Assembly in the Tianxuan Ancient City. Then, he returned to the Ying Shan Immortal Academy.
Guo Tianshan Laozu had already announced to the public that he was going into closed-door cultivation a year ago. In reality, he had returned to the North Sea. Other than handing over all the matters in the Immortal Academy to Perfected Qi Xuancai, Liang Tianfeng Laozu was helping to oversee the Immortal Academy. In addition, there was also Qu Tiancheng Laozu's secret help.
When Lu Ping returned to the Immortal Academy, it just so happened that Tiancheng Laozu was bringing a few disciples who had advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm back to the North Sea. So, he delayed his return by a day and returned with Tiancheng Laozu. More importantly, he could save a top-grade spirit stone.
The Immortal Academy had already doubled in size compared to before Lu Ping traveled to the Central Plains. Because of the secret cooperation between Tian Feng Laozu and Tiancheng Laozu, as well as the support of the North Sea True Spirit Sect, and Zhenling's intention to use the Immortal Academy to train the disciples' combat experience, the Immortal Academy's influence in the Ying Shan Mountain Range was growing rapidly. Many rogue cultivator forces were chased out of the Ying Shan Immortal Academy's sphere of influence, and the Mountain Universe Sect was completely suppressed. As for Long River Laozu and the others who had the support of the Gu Clan, they were starting to show signs of resistance.
Lu Ping returned to the cliff at the back of the Immortal Academy. In his cave abode above the Ying River, he took out the three Spirit Nurturing Boxes.
The two smallest ones were given to Tian Xiang Laozu and Tian Ling Laozu by Qing Li Laozu on behalf of the Heavenly Profound Sect. Lu Ping naturally wouldn't open them. However, the largest Spirit Nurturing Box was Lu Ping's own, so Lu Ping couldn't wait to open it.
He placed his palm on the Spirit Nurturing Box. The bluish-purple light flickered, and the surface of the Spirit Nurturing Box seemed to have changed slightly. He couldn't see it clearly when he wanted to take a closer look.
Lu Ping carefully opened the box. It was filled to the brim with water.
"This is …"
Lu Ping dipped his hand into the water in the box suspiciously. He discovered that it was just ordinary water that had been contaminated with spiritual energy. If he had to point out something special, it would be that the spiritual energy in the water was abnormally abundant. Perhaps it was because the water had once flowed through a spirit vein, and from the looks of it, this spirit vein was of an extremely high grade.
But what was this?
Lu Ping couldn't figure it out. He could only look at the Spirit Nurturing Box again. Only then did he discover that on the inner wall of the Spirit Nurturing Box, there were 18 white egg-shaped objects the size of rice grains.
"Could these be fish eggs?"
"Could they be Wuling Fish eggs?"
Lu Ping's previous doubts and disappointment were immediately swept away. He carefully recalled the records he had read about Wuling Fish, especially the memory of the pure Yang soul of Ying Tian Sect's Fei Tian Laozu. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. It was exactly the same as the records and inherited memories. These must be Wuling Fish eggs!
A Dao soldier cultivated by Wuling Fish, together with a Dao soldier formation, could form one of the best Dao soldier formations in the cultivation world. Back then, Wuling Laozu was so famous, mostly because of the Dao soldier formation that he cultivated.
He didn't expect that the Heavenly Profound Sect would give him the Wuling Fish eggs as a gift!
In his excitement, Lu Ping suddenly remembered that although the Wuling Fish was famous in the cultivation world, it was extremely difficult to cultivate them into Dao soldiers.
Back then, Wuling Laozu spent more than 600 years to cultivate 18 Wuling Fish into 8,000 Wuling Fish Dao soldiers from the Blood Condensation Realm to the Transcendence Realm. Before that, Wuling Laozu had been unknown in the cultivation world.
Wuling Fish was originally called Sharp Ridge Fish. It was originally a rather brave fish demon race in the coastal waters. However, this fish demon was born with low intelligence and had little room for improvement in cultivation. Therefore, humans and demons didn't pay much attention to them.
However, Wuling Laozu could see that this fish demon was extraordinary. He spent more than 600 years cultivating this fish demon and trained them into Dao soldiers.
In order to unleash the power of the Sharp Ridge Fish Dao soldiers, Wuling Laozu even refined an entire river called Wuling into the formation. His Dao name, Wuling Laozu, was also named because of this formation.
Wuling Laozu was unknown in the Heavenly Profound Sect. His cultivation was also focused on the Sharp Ridge Fish. Although his cultivation was improving, his ability was extremely weak.
However, this situation changed when the Heavenly Profound Sect faced a crisis of annihilation. With the 8,000 Sharp Ridge Fish Dao soldiers, Wuling Laozu single-handedly stopped the attack of 100,000 demon soldiers in the coastal waters under the Heavenly Profound Mountain.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights. In the end, 20,000 of the 100,000 demon soldiers retreated in defeat with casualties. The Heavenly Profound Sect was saved. From then on, the Heavenly Profound Sect was established as a large sect that lasted for more than 10,000 years. Wuling Laozu's prowess shocked the world. The Sharp Ridge Fish Dao soldiers were also called Wuling Fish because of the Wuling River Formation that Wuling Laozu refined.
