Ever since the Great War of Frost Island and the Great War of the Deep Sea Demon Region, although Mo Luo had not completely disappeared from the North Sea, his momentum was much smaller than the previous great calamities.
Many cultivators thought that this time, Mara's catastrophe might be because the North Sea was lucky not to have to deal with many Mara. After the two large-scale annihilation battles between humans and demons, Mara's momentum was naturally greatly reduced, and he was not too dangerous. This was also the first time that God had shown favor to the barren North Sea!
Some cultivators thought that this was just a prelude to another large-scale outbreak of Mara's catastrophe, and that the previous small victory was nothing …
Although there were all kinds of speculations, there was no doubt that the traces of Mara's large-scale appearance in the North Sea had indeed become very few.
However, Mo Luo's disappearance did not cause the entire North Sea to calm down. Instead, it became even more torturous. Humans and demons were fighting, and the Giant Whale Demon Clan and the Primordial Giant Crocodile Clan were also fighting within the Demon Clan. Among the humans, the nine major sects were fighting like wildfire. Even forces from the East Sea and the Middle Earth joined in one after another.
Since the battle of Zhenling's Water Sword Fairy, Perfected Lu Xuanping, on Frost Island ten years ago, there had been very little news of him in the North Sea cultivation world. However, five years ago, someone had seen Perfected Lu Xuanping on Tianling Mountain, but since then, Perfected Lu Xuanping had disappeared again. It had been ten years since then.
There had long been rumors in the North Sea cultivation world that Perfected Lu had gone into seclusion to break through to the Dharma phase as soon as possible, but most North Sea cultivators did not believe this rumor.
This was because there were too many difficulties and obstacles during the breakthrough from the peak of the Core Forging Realm to the Dharma phase. Regardless of how long it had been since Perfected Lu Xuanping had broken through the peak of the Core Forging Realm, it seemed to be no more than thirty or forty years. It was not easy to accumulate enough foundation to help him break through to the Dharma phase in such a short period of time.
Furthermore, even if Perfected Lu Zhenren really had accumulated enough foundation in his cultivation, how could he not condense his own special ability when he advanced to the Dharma Manifestation Stage with his strength that was unparalleled among the cultivators of his generation?
If one wanted to inscribe inscriptions on their Dharma Idol and condense the Divine Ability Seed, one had to first condense the Divine Ability Talisman in the core space when one was at the peak of the Core Forging stage. This was not something that could be done in a short period of time. Furthermore, with Perfected Lu Xuanping's temperament, it was likely that even one Natal Divine Ability would not be enough to satisfy him. In order to condense at least two Natal Divine Abilities, how many Divine Ability Talismans would Perfected Lu Xuanping need to condense in the core space?
Not only that, but Perfected Lu Xuanping …
In short, many people came up with many reasons to explain that Perfected Lu Xuanping, who was Zhenling, was far from reaching the Dharma stage.
In the past ten years, apart from the mixed mineral vein incident in the northwest sea, the first thing that attracted attention was the reopening of the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven after just over a hundred years.
The reason why the Grotto-Heaven opened this time was not because it opened again in a short period of time, but because the cultivators who entered the Grotto-Heaven were not only from the North Sea. There were disciples from various sects in the Middle Mainland and the East Sea. Even after the Grotto-Heaven closed, some people saw cultivators from the South Sea.
And this time, the discovery and harvest of the cultivators from the various sects in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven also amazed the major forces. Who said that the North Sea was barren? Just the treasures in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven were enough to make the cultivators of the major forces salivate!
First, the cultivators from the Lu Family, the number one alchemy family in the Middle Mainland, and the disciples of the North Sea's Liao Family worked together to destroy the famous dangerous Golden Canyon in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven. They found a large number of spirit herbs, poisonous herbs, and various poisonous creatures in the canyon. Many of them were even extinct or about to be extinct in the cultivation world, so their value was naturally very high.
And in the center of the Golden Canyon, they even found traces of the Meteorite Original Liquid and the Wonder Nectar. Unfortunately, it seemed that someone else had beaten them to it. This made the cultivators from the Lu Family very angry.
Next, the cultivators from the Heavenly Moon Sect. They somehow found out about the existence of the Purple Crystal Wasps in the sea of flowers in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven.
However, the sea of flowers was not like the Golden Canyon. If one wanted to enter the sea of flowers to obtain the Purple Crystal Honey, Purple Crystal Wasps' eggs, and even the Purple Crystal Wasps' king, they would have to face thousands of Purple Crystal Wasps in the sea of flowers.
And this was not good news for the cultivators in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, whose cultivation could only reach the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm at most.
Just when the cultivators from the Heavenly Moon Sect paid a huge price and braved the attacks of countless Purple Crystal Wasps to break through a few hives, they found that the Purple Crystal Wasps in the hives seemed to have sensed it. Not only did they remove all the wasps' eggs, but there were also only a few drops of Purple Crystal Royal Jelly left. Only a large amount of Purple Crystal Honey seemed to have not been processed in time.
Even so, this kind of harvest was extremely precious to the cultivators from the Heavenly Moon Sect, especially the half bottle of Purple Crystal Royal Jelly that had been carefully collected in these hives. This made the cultivators from the Heavenly Moon Sect even more excited.
Then, the news that Xuan Ling Sect and the Crystal Palace had teamed up to find a medium-sized spirit stone mine in an extremely dangerous place spread like wildfire in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven.
Cultivators from all over the grotto-heaven swarmed over. Xuan Ling Sect and the Crystal Palace fought fiercely with the cultivators from the other sects. In the end, because they were outnumbered, they had no choice but to compromise. The cultivators from the other sects all dug holes in the mine, riddling the entire mine with holes. No one knew if the mine could be restored the next time the grotto-heaven opened.
Although Xuan Ling Sect and the Crystal Palace could not stop the cultivators from destroying the mine, they could only firmly occupy the best mining spots and compete with the other sects in digging faster. Naturally, these two sects benefited the most.
Unfortunately, the cultivation of the cultivators in the grotto-heaven was restricted. Otherwise, they only needed to inform the sect's dharma idol, Laozu, to bring a grotto-heaven magic treasure, and they could move the entire spirit stone mine into the grotto-heaven and bring it back to the sect.
There were quite a few dangerous places in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven. In these dangerous places, many cultivators had died. There were even some Core Forging cultivators who had sealed their cultivation.
As for how many dangerous places there were in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, even the sects of the North Sea couldn't tell. Some said there were nine, some said there were ten, and some said there were as many as twelve.
However, this time, the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven opened. Perhaps it was because the sects were well prepared, or because the cultivators from the outside world were attracted, they made breakthroughs in the exploration of several dangerous places. The core of several dangerous places were discovered by the cultivators from the various sects.
The last and most exciting part was the opening of the Seven Star Palace in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven. This time, the treasures that flew out of the Seven Star Palace were no longer the usual number of 49, but 63. This made the cultivators from the various sects very happy and full of rewards. In this competition, Zhenling once again surpassed the sects including the Crystal Palace of the East Sea, the Carefree Sect, the Lu Family of the Central Plains, and the Heavenly Moon Sect.
In particular, the disciples and nominal disciples of the Water Sword Deity, Lu Xuanping, joined forces and snatched four of the treasures that flew out of the palace. The other disciples of Zhenling also joined forces and snatched five of the treasures. This made the cultivators from the various sects very jealous.
It wasn't that the sects didn't covet the treasures, but Wang Qi's Blood Condensation swordsmanship had been passed down by the Water Sword Deity. In the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, only cultivators at the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm could fight against him!
In addition, he was a Core Forging Perfected Master and could leave the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven at any time. In addition, he had the help of three powerful nominal disciples who were also at the Core Forging Stage. The cultivators from the various sects could only swallow their anger.
After the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, in Tian Xiang, Tian Fan, Tian Xue, Tian Kang, Tian Lu, and Tian Ling, five Dharma adepts, gathered together in Tian Xiang's cave on Tian Ling Mountain.
"Does this mean that the number of treasures that the Seven Star Palace spat out is seven to nine?"
Tian Ling Laozu nodded. "That's right, it is seven to nine. Our disciples have gained quite a lot this time. There are quite a few extraordinary treasures that have been handed over to the Elixir Pavilion, the Crafting Hall, and the Purple Talisman Pavilion."
Tian Xiang sighed. "We've already broken through nine danger zones. I wonder when the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven will open again. When that time comes, we'll break through a few more danger zones. I hope some of us can wait until then!"
Beside him, Tian Lu couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother, what we've planned is really unimaginable. It's such a pity to waste the Mountain and River Cauldron just because of a possible guess!"
"It should be right!"
At this moment, Ancestor Tian Fan suddenly said, "After all, it's a guess left behind by Ancestor Great Ginseng in the past. The jade slips our sect has collected from Fei Ling mountain over the past several millennia have confirmed Ancestor Great Ginseng's guess. Moreover, the Fei Ling sect has clearly been carrying it out in the past. Haven't some of the secrets discovered in the treasured ship proved it as well?"
"But what if it fails?"
Tian Lu Laozu still felt heartache for the Mountain and River Cauldron. That was a cauldron that had condensed three treasures!
However, Tian Lu Laozu also knew that his words were pointless. If it was him, he would also not hesitate to give up this cauldron. Tian Lu Laozu's goal was to make this matter more meticulous and not waste a cauldron that could be used as the sect's treasure.
"However, the Na Chuan Cauldron in Little Brat Lu's hands is not bad. In the future, it might be possible for it to reach the same level as the Mountain and River Cauldron."
Tian Xue Laozu also said, "I don't think it's a problem of whether it's wrong or not. Instead, it's a problem of whether our sect can swallow such a huge benefit with our current strength. The moment our sect plans to obtain this item, it will definitely cause a huge commotion. I'm afraid that the other sects won't just watch without lifting a finger, and our sect will be powerless to deal with it!"
Tian Fan Laozu waved his hand and said, "Let's put this problem aside for now. The Seven Star Paradise will open again in at least a hundred years or even longer. When the twelve danger zones are all broken through, who knows how many times the Seven Star Paradise will open again. At that time, perhaps this matter will be handed over to Tian Lin or even Tian Ping to complete!"
At this moment, Lu Ping, who was known as' Tian Ping Laozu 'by the other Laozu disciples, was running out of the Refining Hall with Chen Lian.
"Cough cough, cough cough cough, we finally succeeded!"
"Hehe, hahaha!"
Chen Lian squatted at the entrance of the Refining Hall and started laughing crazily. How could he still have the image of a grandmaster? On the contrary, he scared the blacksmiths and cultivators who were entering and exiting the Refining Hall.
Although Lu Ping's face was also filled with exhaustion, the excitement in his eyes couldn't be concealed. He said, "I didn't expect that in just a few days since you became a Grandmaster Refiner, the cauldron's treasures were actually carved onto the Na Chuan Cauldron so easily!"
