Only Xuan Ling Sect was truly angered by Dao Shi's death. However, Dao Shi Laozu's death was an opportunity, an opportunity to restrain Zhenling!
The battle of Frost Island once again allowed the sects to see Zhenling's schemes and unparalleled strength. The sects of the North Sea knew that if this continued, Zhenling might really be unstoppable in the North Sea!
In a group, when there was an outstanding person, many people might be willing to follow him. However, when this person's ability surpassed the limits of most people, this person would be isolated and even viewed with hostility.
Zhen Ling Sect was currently facing such a situation. No matter how strong Zhen Ling Sect was as a medium-sized sect, there was a limit to how strong it could be. After all, there were forces in the North Sea that could balance it. However, when Zhen Ling Sect's power gradually began to show signs of surpassing that of a medium-sized sect, it would be faced with the panic of the various sects in the North Sea, and they would have to join forces to contain it. Even the attitudes of Shuiyan Pavilion, Yujian Sect, and Chong Ming Sect, which were in alliance with Zhen Ling Sect, had become a little unclear due to Dao Shi's death.
Spiritual Master Xuan Huai felt that Lu Ping's ability to easily break through the restrictions set by Tian Cheng Laozu was both unexpected and reasonable. However, although he was unwilling to put his disciple under house arrest, he was even more unwilling to see his disciple lose his life because of brotherhood.
Hence, after Lu Ping released Ji Xuanxuan, Zhen Ling Sect's puppet master, Daoist Xuan Huai, who had lost all hope of advancing to the Avatar Realm, began to help his disciple create an avatar for Lu Ping. At the same time, he was also monitoring his disciple closely, lest he took the opportunity to escape from Tian Ling Mountain to look for Yin Xuanchu.
Lu Ping originally wanted to go to his two good friends to understand the situation, but he didn't expect to find almost nothing in the end. Helpless, he could only go to the Hall of Chong Hua to see his teacher.
After Dao Shi Laozu's death, the various forces of the North Sea gradually united to punish Zhenling. The various sects' envoys entered and left Heaven Spirit Mountain several times, some with high status, but Zhenling was always received by the sect master Liu Tianling, Laozu.
Although many envoys, and even some first-generation cultivators, wanted to meet the few mid Dharma Laozu and even Tian Cheng Laozu, they were all rejected by Laozu. It was as if Zhenling's first-generation cultivators had all disappeared, and everything in Zhenling, big or small, had been handed over to Zhenling's second generation cultivators.
However, Lu Ping knew that it wasn't because Zhenling's first generation cultivators had given up their power, but because the sect's first generation cultivators, Laozu, were all focused on repairing the wreckage of Fei Ling Sect's treasured ship. Almost all the craftsmen in the Crafting Hall had been transferred, so how could they care about other things?
Liu Tianling, Laozu, saw Lu Ping come in and smiled. "You've found out most of the information, right? Tell me, what do you plan to do?"
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. "Does the sect already know the whereabouts of Junior Yin?"
Liu Tianling, Laozu, looked at Lu Ping in surprise and said, "Junior Li Xuanyin only has one successor, so his inheritance shouldn't be broken. But now, this kid has surpassed his predecessor, and his abilities are even better than Junior Li Xuanyin's. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill Dao Shi and break out of the encirclement in front of so many Xuan Ling Sect cultivators. It won't be easy to find him!"
Lu Ping was relieved. Obviously, none of the sects in the North Sea had any news of Yin Xuanchu. The reason why the sects were pressuring Zhenling was probably because they thought that Zhenling was secretly protecting Yin Xuanchu.
Lu Ping thought for a while, then said, "I heard that Master has already sent Uncle-Master Tian Shu out to search for Junior Yin?"
Liu Tianling, Laozu, looked at Lu Ping and said, "I understand what you're thinking, but this time, our sect has no choice but to do this, because the Crystal Palace has officially begun to intervene in the North Sea's affairs."
Lu Ping was shocked. Although the Crystal Palace had the intention to intervene in the North Sea's affairs, they were suppressed by the sects in the North Sea. In the end, they had no choice but to stand behind Xuan Ling Sect and be the driving force behind the scenes. Now that the Crystal Palace had officially stepped onto the stage, why didn't the sects in the North Sea object this time?
Liu Tianling, Laozu, seemed to know what Lu Ping was thinking and continued, "That Yin Xuanchu destroyed a lair of the Overflowing Ocean Gang in the East Sea, and found a teleportation formation that leads to the North Sea. That's why he snuck into the North Sea."
The Overflowing Ocean Gang was an external force of the Crystal Palace. This was almost an open secret in the North Sea. One of the Overflowing Ocean Gang's lair had been destroyed, and dozens of their disciples had died in Yin Xuanchu's hands. The Crystal Palace naturally used this to pressure Zhenling. The sects in the North Sea were worried that Zhenling would not be able to keep them in check, so they turned a blind eye to the Crystal Palace's public intervention.
Liu Tianling, Laozu, continued, "Originally, the sects in the North Sea had been weakened by a lot during the battle of Frost Island, and the share of the spirit stone mine should have changed as well. However, with the current situation, in order not to provoke the sects in the North Sea, we had no choice but to postpone this matter for now."
Lu Ping did not know why his teacher would tell him so much, so he asked carefully, "Then what will our sect do next?"
Liu Tianling, Laozu, glanced at him and said, "What else can we do? Rest and build up our strength, and prepare to go!"
Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "Is it because of the treasured ship?"
Liu Tianling, Laozu, said, "The restoration of the treasured ship is the most important thing, but don't forget, if our sect wants to become a large sect, not only do we need the treasured ship and two Dharma adepts, there is another important condition, and that is to have three Dharma Adepts!"
Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, and said, "This disciple understands!"
The so-called "three Dharma Adepts" referred to the first, second, and third generation of Dharma Adepts in a large sect. This meant that the inheritance of this large sect would not be broken in a short period of time, and it would not just be a flash in the pan. This was also one of the basic conditions for a large sect to be recognized by the cultivation world.
In order for Zhenling to become a large sect, after finding the wreckage of the treasured ship of Fei Ling Sect, there were only two conditions that had yet to be met. One was to have a second Dharma Adept, and this was something that no one in the first generation of Zhenling could achieve. Tian Xue and Tian Fan, the two Laozu's path of cultivation had almost reached the end. Tian Kang, Laozu, did not have much time left to live, and as for Tian Lu and Tian Jiang, the two Laozu's, it was needless to say. The second Dharma Adept's hope had already been placed on Tian Lin, Laozu.
The second condition was to have a Dharma Adept appear in the third generation of disciples. Currently, among the third generation of disciples in Zhenling, only Lu Ping was outstanding. Naturally, Lu Ping would not pass on this responsibility.
Liu Tianling Laozu drank a mouthful of honey tea. Lu Ping's eyelids twitched involuntarily. Ever since Lu Ping obtained a nest of Amethyst Bees, the ten or so Laozu's in Zhenling all started drinking Amethyst Honey Tea. Naturally, the Amethyst Honey was exploited by Lu Ping.
Liu Tianling Laozu continued, "Your Uncle Tiancheng has already entered Huang Li Island. For the time being, don't go out and focus on your cultivation. Don't bother about Yin Xuanchu's matter!"
Lu Ping was a little confused. Could it be that Teacher was going to put him under house arrest like Ji Xuanxuan? But wasn't this a little too much?
Lu Ping asked carefully, "How's Uncle Tiancheng's injury? Is it to guard against the Demon Race?"
Liu Tianling Laozu said unhappily, "It's to guard against you. If you go out of the sect alone, I'm afraid there will be a few Laozu's from various sects coming to kill you. You've made a name for yourself on Frost Island. Even Blood Asura fell in your hands. Compared to you, what is Yin Xuanchu?"
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat, and his expression immediately became a little ugly. It seemed that the current situation in Zhenling was worse than he had expected. It was obvious that the various sects were willing to shed all pretense of cordiality with his own sect for some matters.
Liu Tianling Laozu saw everything clearly from the side, so he said, "You don't have to worry too much. The various sects in the North Sea don't dare to make a move against our sect at the moment. But if there's a chance to surround and kill you, it's very likely that the various sects will do it at all costs!"
Liu Tianling Laozu paused, then continued, "Your Uncle Tiancheng's origin is damaged, and he lost the chance to advance to the middle Dharma stage. But his strength is not affected, and his injury is not too serious. The reason why he is stationed at Huang Li Island is not only to give you time to cultivate in seclusion, but also because your little girlfriend has been recruited. The repair of the treasured ship is extremely important. Not only do we need a large number of artificers to work together, we also need formation masters to repair the formations on the treasured ship. Nephew Hu is currently a formation master, so the repair of the treasured ship can't be done without her."
After exiting the Palace of Chonghua, Lu Ping had basically figured out the situation, so he naturally had a plan in his mind.
Lu Ping thought for a moment, then called out Wang Qi, who was cultivating in seclusion, from the House of Gold. He said, "You go to Huang Li Island first. Your Uncle Hu has left Huang Li Island for some matters, and I'm afraid she won't be able to return in a short period of time. I still have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave everything on the island to you for the time being. If there's any trouble, just go find your Uncle Tiancheng!"
Wang Qi nodded and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Lu Ping, who handed him a jade slip and a faintly discernible flying sword. He said, "This flying sword is an Invisible Sword that I obtained from the Fei Ling Sect. There are four treasures condensed on it, and that jade slip contains the Invisible Sword Art that I obtained from the Fei Ling Sect. I'll pass it on to you now, so when you go down, practice diligently, and don't be negligent."
Finished speaking, Lu Ping handed a storage pouch to Wang Qi, and said, "The Fang siblings and Ceng Wu are in seclusion on Huang Li Island. If they advance to the Core Forging Stage, you can take them as registered disciples on behalf of Master, and distribute the items in this storage pouch to the three of them."
After sending Wang Qi away, Lu Ping walked towards the back of Tian Ling Mountain.
After passing by Fornax Cavern Ancestor's cave-dwelling, Lu Ping descended from a cliff and walked towards a pile of rubble at the bottom of the cliff until he disappeared into the rubble.
