Tianfan Laozu's appearance caused Lu Ping to stop in his tracks.
"You don't seem surprised by the Old Man's arrival!"
"Yes!"
Patriarch Tian Fan and Lu Ping only exchanged a single word before falling silent. The two of them immediately fell into silence.
After a while, Tianfan Laozu sighed and said, "Old Man thanks you for Tian Shu!"
Lu Ping said, "You're too kind, Grand Uncle. I've already tried my best!"
If there was someone else at the side, they would definitely be confused by the conversation between the two.
However, Lu Ping knew that Tianfan Laozu was thanking him because Lu Ping could have severely injured or even killed Tian Shu Laozu. All he needed was an excuse in a moment of desperation. However, Lu Ping had only knocked him down from the sky in the end. It could be said that he had spared his life, and at the same time, he had also shown everyone that his strength far surpassed Tian Shu Laozu's.
Lu Ping said that he had already tried his best. In fact, he was saying that he was not willing to accept Tianfan Laozu's favor. After all, this was a grudge between him and Tian Shu Laozu. At the same time, he was also trying to hide his own strength.
Tianfan Laozu also understood the meaning behind Lu Ping's words, but he did not say much about it. He only said to himself, "The future of the sect depends on you guys. Now, including Senior Tianxiang, the first generation of cultivators have already let go of the sect's control. We want to see how talented the second and third generation disciples are, and whether they can support Zhenling's future!"
When Tianfan Laozu saw Lu Ping's thoughtful expression, he smiled and said, "In this sect, it doesn't matter if it's the Sect Master or the balance of power. It's all about the inheritance of the sect. In the end, it's for the sake of the sect's future!"
Lu Ping nodded, but he heard Patriarch Tian Fan continue, "However, a sect can't have only one voice. There needs to be a restraining force. Only then can people have scruples and think about it. Only then can the plan be thorough and the decision feasible. Don't you think so?" Patriarch Tian Fan nodded, but Patriarch Tian Fan continued.
Lu Ping thought for a while and said, "If it's for the sake of the sect, I have nothing to say!"
Lu Ping did not refute Tianfan Laozu, but he was pointing out that Tian Shu Laozu wanted to restrain the Sect Master not for the sake of the sect, but for his personal grudge.
Tianfan Laozu sighed and said, "You're right. Tian Shu does have a personal grudge!"
This was the first time Tianfan Laozu and Lu Ping had spoken so weakly.
Tianfan Laozu was silent for a while. When he saw that Lu Ping did not say anything, he continued, "In a few days, the Old Man will go to the East Sea to guard Jing Zhe Island. I heard that you've established a force in the East Sea Secret Land. The Old Man will look for an opportunity to take care of it!"
Although Lu Ping was surprised by Tianfan Laozu's goodwill, he had no choice but to accept it. Otherwise, he would really offend Tianfan Laozu. Therefore, he could only say, "Thank you, Martial Granduncle!"
Tianfan Laozu turned around and left. Lu Ping stood there for a long time, thinking about something. After a while, he smiled nonchalantly and entered the Bajing Tower with his head lowered.
The Bajing Tower itself was a rather unique treasure. Out of the entire Bajing Tower's power, the quality of the Bajing Tower itself only accounted for one-third of its power.
Out of the remaining half, the quality of the Heaven and Earth Treasures placed on each floor would affect one-third of its power. The other one-third depended on the strength of each floor's guardian!
When Lu Ping entered the first floor of the Bajing Tower, he saw a group of Blood Condensation Realm disciples training in the illusion realm. Late Blood Condensation Realm demonic beasts suddenly attacked them from all sorts of places, but they were all killed by the disciples.
Lu Ping scanned the area with his divine sense and knew that the guardian of this floor was only a Core Forging cultivator who had just entered the Core Forging Realm. Floating in the middle of the array formation beside him was a metal-elemental mid-grade Mystic-class spirit item.
Lu Ping was slightly surprised. Without alerting the guardian of the first floor, he went straight to the second floor.
The guardian of the second floor was a Third Level Core Forging Realm cultivator. Lu Ping found him slightly familiar, as if he was his classmate back in Zhen Ling Side Hall. However, the two of them weren't familiar with each other. This person was using a secret technique to activate a Mystic-class Heaven and Earth Treasure. It was also a Mystic-class Heaven and Earth Treasure. The Heaven and Earth Treasures were used to test a few Late Blood Condensation Realm cultivators.
When Lu Ping entered the third floor, he couldn't help but stare blankly. With a sweep of his divine sense, he saw a few Late Blood Condensation Realm cultivators working together to defend against a half-step Core Forging Realm demonic beast.
What surprised Lu Ping wasn't that these cultivators could defend against the demonic beast, but that the person in charge of defending the demonic beast was only a Sixth Level Blood Condensation Realm cultivator.
"Junior Brother Du, it's coming! It's coming!"
"Block it! We must block it! If we block it, we're dead!"
"Boom!"
"He blocked it! Junior Brother Du blocked it!"
"Quick, kill it! Don't let it break free!"
… …
A moment later, the Monstrous Beast's body slowly disappeared, leaving behind a few Medium Grade Spirit Stones on the ground, which could be considered as a reward for the trial disciples. Several cultivators divided the Spirit Stones among themselves, and the cultivator who blocked the Monstrous Beast's attack received two Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
"Junior Brother Du, you're already a Sixth Level Blood Condensation Realm cultivator. You're about to advance to the Late Blood Condensation Realm. Why aren't you acknowledging a master yet?"
The few of them weren't in a hurry to start the new trial. Instead, they gathered together and chatted while recovering their True Essence.
"That's right, Junior Brother Du. Your earth-type cultivation technique is so pure that it puts us Late Blood Condensation Realm cultivators to shame. You were actually able to block an attack from a Peak Blood Condensation Realm demonic beast. With this kind of cultivation, if you attend the apprenticeship ceremony, the sect's Enlightened Masters will definitely fight for you!"
"Hehe, you guys still don't know, right? I heard from my master that Junior Brother Du has already attracted the attention of the sect's third generation Enlightened Masters. There are even a few Martial Uncles who want to take Junior Brother Du as a disciple. However, they're stopped by Enlightened Master Liu Xuanyuan. No one can do it!"
"Enlightened Master Liu Xuanyuan? Oh my god, is that true? He's a Late Core Forging Enlightened Master, a famous expert among the sect's third generation disciples. I heard that he's close friends with the 'Water Sword Immortal', Enlightened Master Lu Xuanping! "
"Junior Brother Du, don't tell me that Enlightened Master Liu has taken a fancy to you and is preparing to take you as a disciple? That makes sense. Enlightened Master Liu Xuanyuan's master is Guo Tianshan Laozu, and he already has an earth-type cultivation technique. Since you're also cultivating an earth-type cultivation technique, it'll be of great help to your future growth!"
"But what's strange is, if that's the case, why doesn't Enlightened Master Liu Xuanyuan take you as a disciple? Could it be that Enlightened Master Liu Xuanyuan is going to be like Enlightened Master Lu Xuanping, refusing to pass on his legacy to a disciple until now? "
Junior Brother Du's expression was originally calm. Only when he heard the words' Water Sword Immortal ', Lu Xuanping,' did his expression brighten a little.
When Lu Xuanping's name was mentioned, the atmosphere of the group of disciples was clearly stirred up.
"Have you heard? That 'Sword Asura' went to Frost Island again!"
"Really? That Wang Qi who wanted to become Enlightened Master Lu Xuanping's disciple, the one who once killed a Core Forging Asura, and is only one step away from entering the Core Forging Realm?"
"Didn't he always follow 'Enlightened Master Sword Demon' Du Xuanfeng around the North Sea to challenge others? Why did he go to Frost Island again?"
"It's said that he's about to enter the Core Forging Realm. This time, he didn't even pay a visit to Enlightened Master Lu Xuanping when he returned to the North Sea!"
"Other than him, it's said that there's another alchemist in the Pill Pavilion called Tian Yue. He still hasn't taken Enlightened Master Lu Xuanping as a disciple. Many people in the Pill Pavilion say that he also wants to become Enlightened Master Lu Xuanping's disciple. It's just that he hasn't admitted it himself, so it's just a guess!"
"Junior Brother Du, don't tell me you also want to become Enlightened Master Lu Xuanping's disciple?"
"Hahaha …"
Lu Ping chuckled and waved his sleeve in the direction of the group. The scenery around them changed. A gust of evil wind blew, and a fierce tiger with white forehead and eyes that had reached the Core Forging Realm jumped out of the forest with a roar. It stared at them like a tiger watching its prey.
"Oh no, why did the scene suddenly change? We haven't rested enough!"
"Oh no, how did this happen? This tiger demon is actually at the Core Forging Realm!"
"No way, this is bad. When we go back, we must complain. This matter must be reported to Sect Master Laozu. He must punish those guards severely!"
A green light flashed in Lu Ping's eyes as he looked at the guard of the third floor. A Third Level Core Forging Realm cultivator was like an ant on a hot pan, circling around a pool of Heaven and Earth Spirit Water. He couldn't understand why a Core Forging Realm demonic beast would appear on the third floor of the Eight Visions Tower when there were clearly only Upper Mystic Level spirit items!
Lu Ping passed by the fourth floor and arrived at the fifth floor. This was the floor that Yuan Xuanzhan was guarding.
The Eight Visions Tower's guards were extremely strange existences. Apart from the Eight Visions Tower's eighth floor, which was the true control center of the Eight Visions Tower, there was a stone tablet in the center of the formation that could be used by cultivators to refine.
Moreover, these stone tablets were different from the real mansion-guarding stone tablets. After refining them, the cultivator would only be able to control the situation on the floor the tablet was on. Not only would the cultivator be under the control of the real mansion-guarding stone tablet, but the cultivator who refined each floor's stone tablet would also no longer be able to escape the Eight Views Pavilion's control. To be more precise, they would no longer be able to escape Lu Ping's control.
Even if these cultivators left the Eight Visions Pagoda, their cultivation and spells would still be affected by the Eight Visions Pagoda. The power of the Eight Visions Pagoda would also depend on the cultivation of the guardians. Simply put, these guardians were equivalent to the slaves of the Eight Visions Pagoda!
At present, the Eight Visions Tower had only condensed eight treasures. Therefore, these cultivators who refined the stone tablets on each floor, no matter how talented they were, could only increase their cultivation to the eighth stage of the Core Forging stage. The spiritual objects placed inside would also not exceed the upper Earth-level.
Once the Eight Visions Tower passed the first lightning tribulation, the spiritual objects inside could be placed at the lower Earth-level, and the guards on each floor could also have the possibility of condensing their Dharma Power.
In this way, the Eight Visions Tower became a two-tribulation spiritual treasure. The spiritual objects could be placed at the middle Earth-level, and the guards on each floor could also have the possibility of advancing to the middle Dharma Power. After the Eight Visions Tower passed the third lightning tribulation, it became a pure Yang-level spiritual treasure. Then, the guards would also have the opportunity to become great cultivators.
However, even if these cultivators became great cultivators, no matter how powerful they were in front of others, as long as the Eight Visions Tower was activated, these people could only obediently return to be guards inside.
