Lu Ping smiled and said, "Martial Uncle Tian Lin has already mentioned it to disciple. Just now, Martial Uncle Tian Kang asked Senior Sister Xuan Ling to deliver two drops of Lightning Tribulation Elixir to disciple. In addition to the Lightning Tribulation Elixir given to disciple by Martial Uncle Tian Xue and Martial Uncle Tian Lin, I now have eleven drops."
Tian Ling Laozu nodded and said, "This can be considered as a reward for your contributions to the sect over the years. At the same time, I also hope that a cultivator who has condensed a Ninth Grade Golden Core will appear in our sect. Ever since Tai Shen Laozu condensed a Ninth Grade Golden Core and successfully transformed it into a True Spirit over six thousand years ago, it has been several thousand years since anyone in our sect was able to condense a Ninth Grade Golden Core again. Even your Martial Uncle Tian Lin was a step behind back then."
Lu Ping said solemnly, "Disciple will do his best!"
Tian Ling Laozu took out two jade bottles with Spirit Sealing Talismans stuck on them and said, "Of these two jade bottles, one was given to me by Martial Uncle Tian Xiang just now. It contains the Lightning Tribulation Elixir condensed by Martial Uncle Tian Xiang after crossing two Lightning Tribulations. There are six drops in total. The other bottle is from our sect's storage. It was left behind by our sect's senior cultivator, and there are seven drops in total. In addition to the ones you obtained before, you can make a portion of Lightning Tribulation Elixir.
Go prepare well! "Lu Ping didn't believe that the sect only had seven drops of Lightning Tribulation Elixir. It would be too much of a coincidence to make a portion of Lightning Tribulation Elixir. Obviously, Zhenling still had some left over, but it shouldn't be too much.
Lu Ping took the two jade bottles and thought for a moment before asking, "Teacher, don't you need disciple to participate in the matters outside of Universal Island?"
Laozu waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid that this conflict won't be resolved in a short period of time. If the conflict still hasn't ended after you come out of seclusion, you might as well come and join in!"
Lu Ping was startled and said, "Isn't it because of the legacy of Canghai Laozu? Is that legacy enough for the North Sea cultivators to explore for several years?"
Tian Ling Laozu said, "Previously, the Demon Clan occupied that place. In the cultivation world of the North Sea, legend has it that Laozu Canghai's legacy is located there, but it is only a legend. Looking at the recent actions of the Canghai Sect, this legacy is most likely true."
Tian Ling Laozu paused and then said, "It seems that the time for the relic to be unearthed has not yet come. The Demon Clan just wanted to open it in advance after discovering some clues. However, without the Thin Water Flowing Sword left by Canghai Laozu, the Demon Clan could be sure that the relic was in that area, but they could not find its specific location. "The Canghai Sect seems to only have one Thin Water Flowing Sword, but they have not been able to find it all these years. The Demon Clan's actions have made the Canghai Sect more and more certain that the Long Water Flowing Sword has already been obtained by the Demon Clan, so the conflict between the two sides has become more and more intense in recent years. It seems that a full-scale confrontation between the humans and the Demon Clan in the North Sea is just around the corner."
Lu Ping shook his head and said, "This is not a good thing. The Calamity of Mara has already broken out everywhere in the cultivation world. Although it has not reached its peak, if it suddenly breaks out during a large-scale conflict between the humans and the Demon Clan, wouldn't the North Sea cultivation world be in trouble?"
"There will not be a large-scale conflict. After all, it is only for a relic. However, there will inevitably be a fight, and casualties are inevitable. Moreover, from the current situation in the North Sea, as well as the information collected from the East Sea and the Central Plains, the outbreak of the Calamity of Mara in the North Sea seems to be a little delayed. This is probably the reason why the humans and demons are still thinking of fighting at this time!"
Lu Ping had obtained a lot of information from his teacher. After leaving the Palace of Zhong Hua, he thought that this might really be a good time for him to go to that place to cultivate in seclusion. Taking advantage of the fact that the attention of the humans and demons in the North Sea was now focused on the outside of Huan Yu Island, he would first explore that place.
It had been more than a hundred years since he obtained that mysterious purple jade slip. Now, Lu Ping's strength had finally reached the minimum requirement in the jade slip. He had also gained a deep understanding of the inheritance in the jade slip. Now was the time to explore that place.
If he could really enter that place, it would be a seclusion place where he, the only Human Immortal, would be able to do!
With that thought in mind, Lu Ping no longer hesitated. He took out a magic sword and said something, then tossed it into the sky. The magic sword flew towards the Heaven's Spirit Hall. Zhenling had specially set up a place to transmit magic swords and talismans. This magic sword for Hu Lili would be brought to Di Kun Island by the cultivators of the Heaven's Spirit Hall, then it would automatically fly towards Huang Li Island.
Lu Ping left Heaven's Spirit Mountain and flew in the southwest direction. When he arrived at his destination, he happened to be directly west of Huan Yu Island.
This was a sea. The color of the seawater clearly indicated the depth of the sea. It could be described as unfathomably deep. There were only a few familiar coral islands in the distance that one could set foot on.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years had passed. Back then, he was still a naive early Blood Condensation cultivator. When he came here, he didn't notice anything. Now, when Lu Ping looked at this place again, he could clearly sense the abnormality of the surrounding sea.
Logically speaking, since there were coral islands around, the sea should not be too deep. In reality, however, there was a huge underwater abyss in the middle of these sparse coral islands.
Lu Ping's divine sense spread out. When he sensed that there was no one within a radius of more than a hundred miles, there was a flash of light and he dove into the deep sea.
The Waterproof Moon Pearl floated above Lu Ping's head. The surrounding seawater was automatically pushed away, forming a shield with a radius of three meters. The shield isolated the pressure of the surrounding seawater. Lu Ping quickly dove into the pitch-black bottom of the sea.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ping had already dove more than ten thousand meters into the sea. However, his surroundings were still pitch-black, and the bottom of the sea was still unfathomable. The depth of this underwater abyss was far deeper than Sage Lake.
A green light flashed in Lu Ping's eyes as he tried his best to look into the depths of the sea below him. At the same time, he tried to use his divine sense to break through the strong water pressure and spread out. However, in the end, the range he could cover was only one percent of what Lu Ping's divine sense could cover.
Lu Ping continued to rapidly descend into the sea. A strange current suddenly appeared in the surrounding seawater. Lu Ping's expression did not change. As far as his eyes could see, he saw a huge strange fish suddenly rush out of the dark seawater beneath his feet. It opened its huge mouth that was filled with strange teeth and went against the current under Lu Ping's feet. From afar, it looked as if Lu Ping was about to fall into the strange fish's mouth.
Lu Ping's two swords suddenly appeared beneath his feet. The two swords circled each other and slashed downwards, piercing through the strange fish's body through its mouth, creating a five-foot-wide hole. Lu Ping did not stop for a moment. He went straight into the fish's mouth and passed through the big hole created by the longsword, continuing to head to the bottom of the sea.
At the same time that the strange fish's body was pierced by Yi Ren's Autumn Water Sword, it continued to rush upwards, but its speed was getting slower and slower. Blood spread out, quickly dying the surrounding seawater red.
As the bloody aura spread through the seawater, countless deep sea creatures scuttled out of the pitch-black seawater and charged towards the corpse of the strange fish. In an instant, a chaotic battle broke out. When the chaotic battle ended, everything returned to normal. Even the blood-red color that permeated the seawater had disappeared.
At this time, Lu Ping had already dived to a depth of three thousand feet. Even if the Water Repelling Moon Pearl was said to be able to repel all kinds of water, the originally ten feet wide barrier had been compressed to a little more than five feet wide. As for other Core Forging cultivators, if they did not have special water repelling magic treasures, their bodies would not be able to withstand the huge pressure in the depths of the sea.
Lu Ping stopped here and no longer dived. His Divine Sense had already captured that a hundred feet below his feet, there was an array formation hidden in the seawater blocking Lu Ping's path. Through the Three Pure Eyes, Lu Ping could faintly sense the existence of this array formation.
Lu Ping slowly dived down to the front of the array formation. He seemed to be recalling something. Then his hands began to form hand seals. The entire process was like a butterfly flying through flowers. Even if a cultivator used their Divine Sense, they would not be able to keep up with Lu Ping's hand changes.
Lu Ping's hands formed countless hand seals, and when he finally stopped, there were already six mysterious runes completely condensed from True Essence on his right hand's five fingers and the center of his palm.
Lu Ping slapped his right palm on the array formation. The bluish-purple True Essence slowly spread to the surroundings with his palm as the center. It was three feet wide, and it was difficult to advance any further.
Seeing this, Lu Ping twisted his right hand. The entire array formation that was covered by the bluish-purple True Essence suddenly let out a cracking sound. A three feet wide hole appeared on the array formation.
The entire array formation seemed to have been activated in an instant. An inexplicable force was transmitted, and the edge of the hole was rapidly shrinking. Lu Ping did not hesitate any longer. His whole body had already passed through the hole and into the array formation.
Four thousand years ago, the North Sea had gathered the power of three Grand Adepts and close to twenty Dharma adepts. It took them close to two hours to temporarily control this array formation. This allowed the Laozu to enter the array formation. However, Lu Ping had only used the time it took to drink a cup of tea to create a temporary hole in the array formation that only allowed one person to pass through.
After passing through the array formation, Lu Ping dived down once again. At a depth of fifty thousand feet, the pressure here was difficult for even Dharma adepts to withstand. The Water and Moon Repellent Pearl could only maintain a three feet wide array formation around Lu Ping's body at this point.
At this time, Lu Ping could already see that on the wall of the abyss, which he still could not see the bottom of, there was a stone platform protruding from the wall. It formed a stone platform that was tens of feet wide.
Around this stone platform, there was also a protective array formation that surrounded the entire stone platform. Looking at the glow of the array formation, it was obvious that this array formation was much stronger than the one that Lu Ping had passed through previously.
Around this stone platform, especially on the wall of the abyss where the stone platform was, there was a huge array formation that surrounded the entire stone platform. The style of the array formation and the stone platform seemed to be incompatible. It was as if someone had forcibly embedded the array formation into the stone platform.
This should be the large array formation that the Laozu of the various sects had set up to guide this stone platform. It was because of the existence of this large array formation that the North Sea cultivators were able to guide this stone platform to the surface of the sea every five hundred years, when the large array formation was at its weakest. Then, the 200 early Blood Condensation disciples selected by the various sects would be transported through the array formation on the stone platform to the deepest part of the abyss, Fei Ling Mountain, which was submerged at the bottom of the abyss.
