Lu Ping went to visit Celestial Phenomenon Laozu and told him about what he had seen and heard in Central Plains to Celestial Phenomenon Laozu. Then, he left behind a gift from Tianxuan Sect's Qingli Laozu and left.
It had only been a few hours since Lu Ping returned to Tianling Mountain, but the news had already spread throughout Tianling Mountain. Since Zhenling had the secret teleportation formation that allowed them to travel to Central Plains and had also built a Celestial Academy in the Ying Shan mountain range, news about Central Plains was naturally much smoother.
Ying Shan Immortal Academy was still a secret to most of the cultivators in Zhenling, and the super-long distance teleportation formation in the underwater mountain range was even more of a secret. Even if Perfected Xuan Fang, Perfected Qi Xuancai, Perfected Xuan Tian, and the others could only use the super-long distance teleportation formation in the middle of the mountain range to reach Central Plains, they had no idea where exactly the mountain range was.
Even so, Lu Ping had made a name for himself in Central Plains, and Zhenling still spread the news rather quickly within the sect.
Lu Ping did not care about this, because Jiang Tianlin Laozu was now at the most crucial stage of advancing to the mid Dharma stage. He was currently preparing for his closed-door training at the top of Tianling Mountain, so Lu Ping did not visit him again. Instead, he greeted a few of his senior sisters and returned to Huang Li Island through the teleportation formation.
It had been 20 years since Lu Ping left Huang Li Island. Walking on the crisscrossed streets of Huang Li Island and looking at the cultivators coming and going, Lu Ping felt that things had remained the same, but people had changed.
The development of Huang Li Island had reached a bottleneck. Because Huang Li Island's area was limited, and the resources in the outer seas were also limited, in order to attract more cultivators to Huang Li Island, Zhenling had to expand its sphere of influence in the outer seas. In this way, it was inevitable that they would have to fight with the North Sea Demon Clan of the Deep Sea Demon Region!
Lu Ping walked straight to his cave mansion on the island, but he gradually found that there was something wrong with his surroundings. After thinking about it for a moment, he remembered that he had encountered several patrol teams of Zhenling cultivators, but none of these cultivators recognized Lu Ping.
Along the way, they passed by many shops. Even though the number of shops here had increased by a lot, it was impossible not to have a shopkeeper who knew Lu Ping.
It seemed that something had happened on the island!
As he thought of that, Lu Ping's expression remained unchanged. However, his divine sense was like a gathering thundercloud in the sky above him, growing thicker and thicker. Strange cries rang out from the thundercloud, echoing in the ears of all the cultivators on Huang Li Island. The sound was somewhat deep, yet it was unusually distant. It was as though it was a horn that pierced through the ancient times. It also seemed as though it carried an incomparable arrogance as it announced its return.
All the cultivators on Huang Li Island were alarmed. When they raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound, they saw a seemingly invisible but distinct existence condensing in the sky, forming a strange cloud that had condensed together.
In the middle of the cloud, there were many existences that only revealed their scales and claws. However, they gave off a feeling of mystery and majesty to those who saw them.
Was this divine sense materialization?
A knowledgeable cultivator exclaimed, "When did another Dharma Manifestation Laozu come to Huang Li Island? Who provoked this person?"
Lu Ping formed a hand seal and released it. The divine sense that had condensed above his head was like a dam that had accumulated enough water and suddenly collapsed. The divine sense poured out in all directions, instantly engulfing the entire Huang Li Island. The situation on the island was instantly presented in Lu Ping's divine sense.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort came from the east side of Huang Li Island, facing the sea. An illusory giant ape rose from the east coast and pounced in the direction of Lu Ping.
Unexpectedly, it was also a divine sense materialization!
This was Tian Shu Laozu's attack!
A cultivator on Huang Li Island shouted out loudly.
A portion of the divine sense that had spread throughout the entire island suddenly condensed into a strange flood dragon in the sky. With a flick of its tail, the flood dragon split the giant ape into two.
When the cultivators on Huang Li Island saw that the divine sense materialization of Tian Shu Laozu had its lower body destroyed by an unknown cultivator, they all cried out in alarm.
Although the giant ape did not expect the opponent to have the strength to make the first move, its divine sense was different. Even though its lower body was destroyed, it did not hinder the giant ape from rushing forward. Its pair of ape palms tore the strange flood dragon in front of it into pieces.
It turned out to be a situation where both sides suffered. However, those who were observant could clearly see that the giant ape had launched a sneak attack while the strange flood dragon was formed in a hurry. If that was the case, Tian Shu Laozu might not be as good as this mysterious cultivator who came to Huang Li Island.
At this time, Lu Ping had already used his divine sense to investigate the entire situation on Huang Li Island. The divine sense that had spread throughout the island had all returned to his body. He turned his head to look in the direction of Tian Shu Laozu, then turned around and headed back to his cave residence.
Lu Ping finally understood the biggest difference in the current Huang Li Island. The density of the spiritual energy on the island had dropped too much.
When Lu Ping left Huang Li Island, he had already raised the quality of the spirit vein on Huang Li Island to a medium grade spirit vein. Furthermore, there were several scattered spirit veins on the island that were specially opened to be used as cave residences for the cultivators on the island. Furthermore, through the island's protective array, the scattered spiritual energy from the spirit vein was dispersed to the entire Huang Li Island. As a result, the density of the spiritual energy on Huang Li Island was several times higher than other places.
Although these measures did not have too obvious of a boost to the cultivators' cultivation, they still benefited all the cultivators on Huang Li Island. They had greatly increased the cultivators' recognition of Zhenling and Huang Li Island.
Now, the density of the spiritual energy on the entire Huang Li Island had dropped back to its original level. Furthermore, through his divine sense, Lu Ping could clearly see that the cave residences that were opened by the scattered spirit veins had long been abandoned. The density of the spiritual energy at the location of his cave residence had also dropped significantly.
Most of the medium grade main spirit vein that Lu Ping had painstakingly condensed had been changed. The continuous flow of spiritual energy had converged on the eastern coast, forming an area with extremely dense spiritual energy. That was the place where Tian Shu Laozu's Spiritual Sense Giant Ape had appeared previously.
Lu Ping's actions naturally made everyone understand that Huang Li Island had an impressive cultivator. However, they were not sure who else in the North Sea would dare to so brazenly provoke Zhenling. Most of the cultivators were quietly waiting for the development of the situation.
At this time, Lu Ping had already seen Hu Lili standing at the entrance of the cave residence. She seemed to have already guessed that he had returned.
"You're back?"
It was still the same smile, and the greeting was as light as water. However, it caused Lu Ping's heart to surge with a sense of guilt.
He could naturally see the trace of exhaustion hidden behind Hu Lili's beautiful smile.
Lu Ping had established the foundation of Huang Li Island, but this foundation had always been managed by Hu Lili alone. Most of the time, Lu Ping was not on Huang Li Island. Even when he returned to the island, he would mostly be in secluded cultivation. Most of the time, Lu Ping did not care about the situation on the island.
This was a kind of trust that ordinary people could not reach!
However, behind this absolute trust, Hu Lili had racked her brains and worked day and night!
She was able to become the actual controller of Huang Li Island with a Mid Core Forging Stage Minor Repairs. In addition to the identity and status that Lu Ping had brought her, she relied more on her own intelligence and methods.
However, when she encountered an opponent who possessed absolute strength and did not abide by the rules, her control over Huang Li Island inevitably collapsed. She could only try her best to protect the cave residence that Lu Ping had left on the island, as well as the core of the island's protective formation.
Therefore, Hu Lili was also feeling guilty. She felt guilty for not being able to live up to Lu Ping's trust. She felt guilty for not being able to fight back in the face of the opponent's suppression.
"You've returned. You've worked hard!"
Lu Ping touched Hu Lili's slightly pale face due to fatigue. He said, "Go and rest. Leave the rest to me. After three days, you will still need to continue to manage this island."
The corners of Hu Lili's mouth finally raised into a slightly proud and happy smile. There was even a trace of mischievousness in it. She was like a child who had been wronged, but persisted in her stubbornness. This was because she knew that sooner or later, all these grievances would be returned to the other party because of the return of her guardian.
Now, the person who had helped her vent her anger had finally returned. Moreover, it was not surprising that he was going to help her vent her anger. Hu Lili was relieved because of Lu Ping's comfort. She was happy because he did not hesitate to protect her. She was mischievous because her opponent was about to get his revenge. She was proud of her choice of guardian!
Hu Lili gracefully returned to the cave residence and waited behind the formation plate of the island's protective formation. She knew that what was going to happen next was far from what she could participate in. Only by guarding the formation plate of the island's protective formation plate could she make Lu Ping feel completely at ease.
Lu Ping smiled at Hu Lili. It seemed that he was also saying, "Prepare to watch a good show!"
Under Hu Lili's surprised gaze, a wine glass suddenly grew bigger and bigger in front of Lu Ping. Lu Ping knocked on the wine glass gently and the wine glass started to spin with a buzzing sound.
Lu Ping said softly to the wine glass, "Let's begin!"
The wine glass suddenly shook while it was spinning. A little girl suddenly popped her head out of the wine glass and looked at Hu Lili curiously. Then, she floated above the wine glass and made a gesture of trying very hard with her hands. She shouted, "Come on, come on!"
The wine glass under the little girl's feet spun faster and faster. The "wu wu" sound of the wind became more and more urgent.
Hu Lili, who was at the side, suddenly had a change of expression. Then, she became surprised.
As the person who had set up the protective formation of Huang Li Island, no one knew better than Hu Lili about the direction of Huang Li Island's earth veins.
At this moment, Hu Lili could clearly feel that every time the little girl shouted "come on", the earth veins of Huang Li Island were undergoing a huge change.
It was the spirit vein!
Hu Lili immediately realized what the little girl was doing.
Following the change in the earth veins, the spiritual energy in the main vein that was guided by Tian Shu Laozu was rapidly flowing back to the cave residence where Lu Ping was.
Who was this little girl? She actually dared to fight for the spirit vein under the nose of Fa Xiang Laozu. What was even more unbelievable was that she actually succeeded!
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you behave atrociously on Huang Li Island!"
An angry roar almost shook the entire Huang Li Island.
