After all, Tian Shu Laozu was only a Dharma adept who had attained the Seventh Grade Golden Elixir. If he had not had a fortuitous encounter in his early years, how could he have attained the Dharma stage so quickly, to the point where he was almost on par with Zhenling's "Three Truths and Four Spirits"?
However, the Dharma power that he had attained in the end could not be compared to the Dharma power that the "Three Truths and Four Spirits" had attained. Although he could not be said to be at the bottom of the early Dharma adepts, he was still one of the weaker ones.
Dharma power was different from a practitioner's talent. At the beginning of a practitioner's training, those who were not very talented could still be saved through various methods. However, if the quality of the Dharma power that they attained when they entered the Dharma stage was not high enough, then it would not only affect their future progress in training, but it would also affect the Dharma power of other Dharma adepts of the same level.
Lu Ping could tell that this Tian Shu Laozu's training method was definitely the same as Tian Shu Laozu's. It was the same Forest Wall of Ten Thousand Trees, and the same Profusion of Fallen Petals.
This was especially so for the Profusion of Fallen Petals. If Tian Shu Laozu had used it, Lu Ping would have no choice but to retreat. However, now that Tian Shu Laozu had used it, it was instantly destroyed by Lu Ping's flying sword and the Meteoric Power Shield of Thousand Poisons.
Lu Ping's calm expression had now become so arrogant and insufferably arrogant in the eyes of Tian Shu Laozu. This was blatant mockery!
Tian Shu Laozu suddenly slapped his chest, and a green roc flew out from the space in his heart. This was Tian Shu Laozu's Dharma power.
The roc raised its head to the sky and let out a shrill cry. It flapped its wings in the sky, and countless feathers once again floated down.
It was the same [Blossoming Petals of Fallen Petals], but when Grand Ancestor Tian Shu cast out his avatar, the power of the [Blossoming Petals of Fallen Petals] was more than doubled. Lu Ping's expression finally turned serious, but only 'slightly'.
Countless green and white feather-like objects formed from Spiritual Qi floated down from the sky. Only Lu Ping knew that these countless feathers looked soft, but in reality, each of them weighed thousands of pounds. When these feathers faced an enemy, they were like moths to a flame, falling on the practitioner's body until they completely crushed the opponent.
Truth be told, Lu Ping knew that there was another powerful aspect to this Profusion of Fallen Petals. After the feathers fell on a cultivator's body, they would immediately grow roots to pierce into the cultivator's body, absorbing the spiritual energy within the cultivator's body to nourish the cultivator. It would consume the cultivator's primary energy and magic power, destroying the cultivator's fleshly body. In fact, it could even suck away the cultivator's body until only a withered corpse was left. It was truly a powerful skill that was both beautiful and cruel.
Lu Ping spread the Myriad Meteoric Poisons evenly across the surface of his skin. Thanks to the fact that he had absorbed several famous highly poisonous items from the world of cultivation, the quality of the Myriad Meteoric Poisons had risen to the Myriad Meteoric Poisons level. Once the feathers fell on Lu Ping's body, they would be corroded by the Myriad Meteoric Poisons Meteoric Poisons, incapable of piercing into Lu Ping's body.
However, because Tian Shu Laozu had unleashed his Dharma Form, the power of the Profusion of Fallen Petals had greatly increased. The speed at which Lu Ping's Myriad Meteoric Poisons Meteoric Poisons was far slower than the speed at which the feathers fell on his body.
Each of the feathers had a weight of thousands of pounds. If it were not for the fact that Lu Ping had paid attention to the improvement of his fleshly body since a long time ago and had swallowed a lot of pills that were used to improve the quality of his fleshly body, perhaps he would not have been able to withstand the power of this skill.
For a moment, Tian Shu Laozu had the upper hand. However, he could not bring himself to feel proud at all. All he could do was coldly say, "Since you are Senior Sister Tian Ling's disciple, I will not punish you for disrespecting your elders. Just return to Tian Ling Mountain and beg for forgiveness from Senior Sister Tian Ling!"
As soon as Grand Ancestor Tian Shu finished speaking, a pitch-black flame suddenly rose from Lu Ping's body. The flickering flame looked like a dancing demon that surrounded Lu Ping. From afar, Lu Ping looked like a demonic cultivator hiding in a black fog. "Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!
While Tian Shu Laozu was in a daze, the black flame suddenly spread upwards. One by one, the feathers that were falling towards Lu Ping turned into a spiritual flame in the sky.
Tian Shu Laozu turned pale with fright. This Myriad Fallen Petals Divine Power used a cultivator's True Energy as a guide, condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form this scene of endless falling petals. It was originally the most difficult skill to resolve, but he did not expect that his opponent not only had the Myriad Poison Meteorite Energy, which was a rare defensive technique in the cultivation world, but also this strange black flame, which could actually use spiritual energy as firewood. The thicker the spiritual energy, the more intense the burning would be.
Tian Shu Laozu could clearly feel that the True Energy that was attached to the petals was rapidly dissipating due to the burning of this strange black flame.
This black flame was a strange item that Lu Ping had obtained in his early years, called the Dark Prison Poisonous Flame. Although the quality of this flame was not as good as the Myriad Poison Paste, which was known as the mother of all poisons, in order to improve its quality, it still needed to absorb a large amount of poisonous energy through the burning flame.
In the past, when the secret burial ground was opened, the Myriad Poison Paste gathered the poisonous energy inside and condensed many drops of Myriad Wonder Dew, which greatly improved the quality of the Dark Prison Poisonous Flame.
Both the Myriad Poison Paste and the Dark Prison Poisonous Flame could be regarded as the nemesis of Tian Shu Laozu's Myriad Fallen Petals Divine Power. Naturally, the Myriad Poison Paste was the best at restraining it. However, the Myriad Poison Meteorite Energy was extremely difficult to control, while the Myriad Poison Meteorite Energy was only a defensive technique. It was more than enough to defend, but not enough to attack.
Although the quality of the Dark Prison Poisonous Flame was slightly inferior to the Myriad Poison Paste, it was much easier to control than the latter. Moreover, the Dark Prison Poisonous Flame was originally a violent fire seed, so it was most convenient for Lu Ping to use it to neutralize Tian Shu Laozu's divine power.
Just as Lu Ping and Tian Shu Laozu were fighting, a few rays of light rose from the cave dwelling that Tian Shu Laozu had opened on the east coast of Huang Li Island. They flew toward Lu Ping's cave dwelling with a murderous aura.
Among the rays of light, Yuan Xuanzhan took the lead, his eyes shining with excitement. He had been waiting for this moment for far too long.
Previously, because Tian Shu Laozu was worried about his reputation, he did not want to lose control of Lu Ping's cave dwelling and the island's protective formation. But this time, Lu Xuanping actually dared to openly provoke Tian Shu Laozu. This gave Yuan Xuanzhan a reason to take back control of Huang Li Island in one fell swoop.
Of course, this was only an excuse Yuan Xuanzhan could use to suppress Lu Ping. It could also be used to cover up the thrill of revenge hidden deep in Yuan Xuanzhan's heart after being repeatedly humiliated by Lu Ping.
Lu Ping's rise was too fast, so fast that Yuan Xuanzhan, who was also a third generation disciple, felt despair. He knew that if he wanted to take revenge on Lu Xuanping, he would never be able to surpass him no matter how hard he worked.
As for the Yuan Family, it was just a cultivation family that depended on Zhenling. In the past, the Yuan Family could be said to be a fence-sitter, waiting for the right price between Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect. But now, the Yuan Family could only obediently rely on Zhenling's whims to survive.
Especially when Lu Ping went missing in the Beast Tide, his teacher, Reverend Liu Xuanling, caused havoc in the Yuan Family. He single-handedly beat the Yuan Family's Core Forging Perfected Masters into hiding in the family's ancestral hall, not daring to show their faces. Wasn't that also a warning to Zhenling? Otherwise, why didn't Reverend Xuanshu, who was also a second generation disciple of the Yuan Family and had always been at odds with Reverend Liu Xuanling to help the Yuan Family?
Yuan Xuanzhan had already thought it through. The Yuan Family was ultimately not presentable. If they wanted to become a giant, they could only rely on Zhenling and rely on the sect's resources to rise.
But if they wanted to deal with Lu Xuanping, they would have to rely on a righteous cause. They would also need the help of Zhenling's higher-ups, Laozu. Only then would they be able to suppress Lu Xuanping's arrogance.
Yuan Xuanzhan had some foresight. He knew that with Lu Ping's strength and influence in Zhenling, he was almost invincible among those below the Dharma adept level.
Even if there were people who could match him, they would definitely not stand up and challenge the sect leader's disciple. Moreover, this "Water Sword Deity" was Zhenling's third grandmaster alchemist. Who would offend a grandmaster alchemist for no reason, let alone a grandmaster alchemist?
Coincidentally, at this time, his uncle had come out of seclusion and become Zhenling's second Dharma adept, Laozu. His uncle had always been at odds with Zhenling's sect leader, and this immediately gave Yuan Xuanzhan hope.
As expected, Tian Shu Laozu, who was opposed to Zhenling's centralization of power, took advantage of Tian Qin Laozu's time to come out of seclusion to take charge of Huang Li Island.
The biggest disagreement between Tian Shu Laozu and Tian Ling Laozu was because they had a major disagreement on the development of Zhenling.
Nearly a hundred years ago, Reverend Liu Xuanling, who was in charge of Zhen Ling Sect's affairs, had a fierce conflict with Reverend Xuan Shu. However, at that time, Reverend Xuan Shu seized the opportunity and pushed Reverend Liu Xuanling down from his position as the sect's Deacon.
Liu Tianling Laozu was a supporter of Zhenling's centralization of power. He believed that only by concentrating Zhenling's power in the hands of the sect leader, Zhenling's limited resources could be used to quickly cultivate disciples with potential and increase Zhenling's strength.
At the same time, in the face of the approaching Mara's Disaster, only the sect leader could gather enough power to resist Mara's Disaster and quickly take measures according to the development of the situation. This way, Zhenling's strongest power could be used to minimize the losses.
Tian Shu Laozu, on the other hand, was a supporter of Zhenling's balance of power. At the same time, he was also a supporter of Zhenling's tens of thousands of years of inheritance.
What he valued more was the balance and restriction of power in Zhenling's inheritance and development. He believed that the establishment of a sect leader would greatly damage Zhenling's inheritance system. Without restriction and supervision, a sect leader with great power could easily cause the formation of unfair events.
Huang Li Island was the embodiment of this unfairness. As the last disciple of the sect leader, how could a cultivator who had only cultivated for a little more than a hundred years be able to accumulate such a large foundation in the isolated Huang Li Island? Did he rely on his own strength?
Huang Li Island had a large amount of resources for training. The small Huang Li Island's spirit vein had reached the middle rank. Even most of the medium-sized islands couldn't catch up. Why didn't the sect take back the spirit vein? Was it because he was the sect leader's disciple?
