Tian Kang Laozu laughed and scolded, "You're really cunning, kid!"
As soon as Laozu finished speaking, he saw Lu Ping stomp on the ground. After a while, the ground shook, and Dabao emerged from the ground. He transformed into a fat young man, and then he handed four small Spirit-Gathering Pearls to Lu Ping and said, "A large spirit vein has only given birth to four small Spirit-Gathering Pearls after so many years. How poor!"
Lu Ping weighed the pearls in his hand and smiled at Laozu, "Martial Uncle, I'll take these pearls!"
Tian Kang Laozu put the nine medium spirit veins back into the sect, so he naturally didn't care about the small Spirit-Gathering Pearls. However, he didn't agree explicitly, and instead said, "The Old Man wants to see who the Sea Bell belongs to. At the very least, it can't fall into the hands of the Sea Sect!"
At this moment, Dabao suddenly said, "Laozu, the spirit veins in the earth veins are starting to weaken, and the Mountain Guarding Formation will collapse soon. At that time, the fight for the Sea Bell will probably become a chaotic battle between the human and demon races!"
Tian Kang Laozu and Lu Ping hadn't thought of this, and both of them were shocked. Lu Ping asked, "How long do we have!?"
Rumble!
Before Dabao could answer, the entire Mountain Guarding Formation started to shake violently, and this was a sign that the formation was starting to collapse!
However, although the formation had lost its foundation, it had been embedded in the earth veins for tens of thousands of years. Even without the support of the spirit veins, the process of collapse was still extremely long.
Tian Kang Laozu took off and said, "The Old Man wants to go take a look, you leave first!"
Lu Ping hurriedly said, "Martial Uncle, I'd rather let the Giant Whale Demon King get the Sea Bell than let Dongyi Laozu or Ao Dian get it!"
Tian Kang Laozu disappeared in the blink of an eye. No one knew if he had heard Lu Ping's words.
Following Tian Kang Laozu's departure, Lu Ping seemed to feel that the sounds coming from the place where the battle had taken place earlier were getting more intense.
Without another word, Lu Ping turned around and left. Although he could sense the situation in the battle with his current Divine Telekinesis, he did not have Tian Kang Laozu's protection at this moment. In the eyes of these Laozu, he was basically a delicious cake that everyone wanted a bite of. At this moment, it was more important for him to leave Earth Island first.
Dabao followed closely behind and said, "Boss, this is for you!"
Lu Ping took a sealed stone box from Dabao's hands. He looked at Dabao in confusion and asked, "What is this?"
Dabao shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I saw this box in the earth veins earlier and wanted to pick it up to take a look. Unexpectedly, I was trapped by the restriction formation deep in the earth veins. If it weren't for Linglong's help and the Restriction Breaking Talisman that Boss left me, I'm afraid I would have died inside today."
Lu Ping frowned as he looked at the stone box in front of him. Lu Ping was very familiar with the restriction set up on it, but it was precisely because of this that he could do nothing about it.
This restriction could be considered a self-destructing restriction. Only Lu Ping could open it using the correct method. If the method was wrong or if it was forcefully opened, the stone box would inevitably be destroyed along with the item inside.
Perhaps it really was a treasure!
Lu Ping put away the item, and Dabao immediately followed him and said, "Boss, do you think this counts as a meritorious deed? If it weren't for my guidance, Linglong wouldn't have been able to intercept those spirit veins so easily."
Lu Ping was too familiar with Dabao's skills. He didn't stop walking or raise his head. He directly asked, "What do you want?"
Dabao stammered, "Boss, why don't you give me the pair of black jade stones first?"
Lu Ping heard this and turned to look at Dabao in surprise. He said, "What? You want to cultivate? Didn't you just break through to the third layer of the Core Forging Realm? Although Fei Ling Island is rich in spiritual energy, I'm afraid you'll have to accumulate spiritual energy for a few years before you can break through to the middle stage of the Core Forging Realm. "
Dabao immediately fell silent and didn't say anything.
Lu Ping took two steps and suddenly turned back. "Are you feeling pressured?"
Dabao scratched his head and said, "Da Gui broke through to the middle stage of the Core Forging Realm not long after you arrived on Fei Ling Island. Among us, I've been with you the longest, but my cultivation is the lowest. Peach Blossom is also at the fifth layer of the Core Forging Realm, and Lu Xiaohai is at the peak of the first layer of the Core Forging Realm. It's only a matter of time before he surpasses me. Although Sister Zilan is also at the third layer, her situation is special …"
Lu Ping raised his hand to stop Dabao from speaking. He said, "I remember you once said that you wanted to leave the high-grade Earth-level spiritual energy stone to you. I just don't know if you want to use it to smelt a second or a third spiritual item!"
Lu Ping paused and didn't wait for Dabao to reply. He continued, "If you want to smelt a third spiritual item, then I can give you the Obsidian Stone now. If you want to try to break through to the Transcendence Stage, then the Obsidian Stone is what you need to smelt a second spiritual item to advance to the late stage of the Core Forging Realm!"
Lu Ping finished speaking and plunged into the protective wall of the array. Although the protective array of the lone peak was showing signs of collapsing, such a huge array must have been set up in a complicated manner. Moreover, the internal structure of such a huge array was intertwined. It was impossible for it to completely collapse in a short period of time.
Dabao didn't react to Lu Ping's words for a moment. In Dabao's mind, with his aptitude and condition, he would reach the peak of the Core Forging Realm after advancing to the Core Forging Realm. After that, he would just have to wait for death to come.
However, Lu Ping's previous words clearly told Dabao that he even had a chance to advance to the Transcendence Stage!
Dabao's entire body shivered. Seeing that Lu Ping had already crashed into the protective wall of the array, he hurriedly chased after him. He shouted, "Boss, wait for me!"
Dabao frantically crashed into the protective wall of the array, but he was tightly held by an arm. Lu Ping's voice sounded in his ear, "Shut up! Go underground! "
Without saying another word, Dabao's entire body suddenly exploded into a yellow fog and shrunk into the ground. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
Just as Lu Ping crashed into the protective wall of the array, Lu Ping's Divine Will seemed to capture the aura of someone. However, this person was unusually cautious. In just a moment, he disappeared from Lu Ping's Divine Will.
At this moment, although the array had not collapsed, it had lost its previous strictness. Many loopholes had been exposed. If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Ping's Divine Will was different from that of ordinary people, perhaps he would not have noticed this little movement.
However, it was also because of this fleeting movement that Lu Ping understood that this hidden person was coming for Lu Ping.
Who could it be?
If it was Laozu at the mid Dharma stage, there was no need at all for him to play this kind of hide-and-seek game with Lu Ping. He could have directly come to take Lu Ping's life.
Furthermore, at this time, all the mid Dharma Laozu were probably gathered at the peak of Lone Peak. Regardless of whether or not they had the intention to fight for the Sea Bell, it would be a lifelong regret if they did not participate in such a large-scale Dharma battle with Laozu.
Therefore, it could only be an early Dharma adept or another enemy Core Forging adept!
However, if it was Laozu at the early Dharma stage, even if there were loopholes in the array, he might not have revealed such a big loophole in front of Lu Ping. Therefore, there was only one possibility. Perhaps the hidden person was an enemy Core Forging adept.
If that was the case, the ambush might not have been made by just one person!
Lu Ping did not believe that with the strength that he had displayed so far, there would be any Core Forging adept in the North Sea who would dare to kill him alone.
If they came to fight him fair and square, perhaps there would still be someone, such as the burly man behind the Giant Whale Demon King, Kong Jing Laozu.
Behind the protective array in front of Lu Ping, Ouyang Weijian pursed his lips tightly.
"Little Ouyang, are you sure that Lu Xuanping will pass by here?"
A dark-skinned martial adept played with a pair of iron hammers in his hands as he asked Ouyang Weijian, who was in front of him.
Ouyang Weijian nodded reservedly and said, "Of course. Otherwise, why would my teacher and your father have calculated the position of Tiankang Laozu and Lu Xuanping before launching a sneak attack? Unfortunately, it was all for naught! "
"You went for wool and came home shorn, didn't you? I heard that your teacher has now retreated with serious injuries, but Brother Ouyang still dares to stay on Lone Peak. Such courage is really admirable! "
A mocking voice came from Ouyang Weijian's right side. Ouyang Weijian looked up and saw that it was Zhou Tong, the disciple of Zhang Xiyi from the Blue Sea Sect!
A trace of anger flashed across Ouyang Weijian's face as he said, "Who would have thought that Tiankang Laozu would actually have a Second Tribulation Spirit Treasure in his hands? Brother Zhou, don't go too far!"
Zhou Tong seemed to turn a blind eye to Ouyang Weijian's anger and continued to provoke him, "I heard that Brother Ouyang has lost to Lu Xuanping several times in the past, but was always able to escape with his life. In the eyes of many North Sea cultivators, I'm afraid this is already quite amazing, right?"
Ouyang Weijian was furious. A middle-aged cultivator behind Zhou Tong hurriedly said, "You two, right now we should join forces to deal with Lu Xuanping. Let's talk about private matters after this matter is over!"
Zhou Tong smiled and didn't say anything. Ouyang Weijian forcefully suppressed his anger and glanced at the middle-aged cultivator with slight disgust. If the Giant Whale Demon Clan's Kong Zhuang hadn't suddenly changed his mind, Ouyang Weijian wouldn't have found this person to make up the numbers.
Although this person could be considered as a veteran Core Forging Stage cultivator in the Demon Clan, and he was a cultivator of the same generation as his teacher Feng Xutao, Ouyang Weijian really didn't trust this person's strength. If it wasn't for his mistake just now, it was very likely that it would have aroused Lu Xuanping's vigilance. Ouyang Weijian knew that Lu Xuanping's Divine Sense cultivation was extremely high.
The four of them occupied the four corners of the array formation space. This way, no matter where Lu Ping rushed in, he would be surrounded by the four of them, and the four of them could then lay down the array formation to kill Lu Xuanping.
At this moment, if Lu Ping was present, he would be able to recognize at a glance that the dark and strong Kong Zhuang cultivator was the Primordial Giant Crocodile Clan cultivator who chased after Lu Ping in the Deep Sea Demon Territory. His name was Ao Li, and he was the younger brother of the Golden Dragon Island Lord Ao Chuang. Now his cultivation had also increased to the peak of the Core Forging Stage, and he was only one step away from the Dharma stage.
As for the middle-aged cultivator, he was even more familiar to Lu Ping. This person was the Demon Clan cultivator who set up a formation to surround and kill Qu Xuancheng, and then Lu Ping ruined his plan. Nearly a hundred years had passed, and this person had not broken through the Dharma stage, but he was only one step away from the Dharma stage.
