The only thing Frost Island didn't lack was ice. Even though the buildings of the sects on the island had been almost completely destroyed in the great battle between Frost Island and Devil Luo, it only took a few years for all kinds of beautiful ice sculptures to appear on Frost Island once more.
However, no matter how cold the temperature on Frost Island was, it could not extinguish the cold sweat on the foreheads of the Core Forging adepts who were on duty in the ice palace at the center of the island.
Because at this moment, in the middle of the Ice Palace, there were a total of 32 Dharma adepts from the nine major sects of the North Sea and 12 small forces gathered in the center of the Ice Palace. Huge waves of Dharma power came one after another, as if they were competing to crush their opponents from above.
The situation this time was obviously very complicated. After the Dharma Power Laozu of the Qiao family of the North Sea had fallen, the Qiao family had no successor and could be considered to have declined. The Roaming Sail Sect had a conflict with the Overturned Seas Sect, and their Dharma adept had been injured and had yet to recover. The Roaming Sail Sect's position among the twelve small forces was also in jeopardy.
There was also the Ai family's Laozu. It was rumored that he had been injured by Mara during the battle on Frost Island. However, because Laozu of the Ai family had been injured during the battle against Mara, he was someone who had made great contributions to the North Sea cultivation world and had not died. Even though there were other sects who coveted their share, they could not openly ask for it. Moreover, at this time, Laozu of the Ai family had also arrived on Frost Island. He was full of energy, and others could not tell how strong he was.
Furthermore, the Gilded Sword Sect had two Dharma adepts. It was considered quite powerful among the small forces in the North Sea. Today, it was said that the sect had received secret support from a large force in the East Sea. It seemed that one of the second generation disciples had successfully condensed his Dharma Power, causing the number of Dharma adepts in the sect to increase to three. Although they were still three early Dharma adepts, this power was not to be underestimated in the North Sea.
The powerful Gilded Sword Sect was naturally unwilling to share the thirty percent of the shares left to them by the nine great sects with the other eleven small sects. They had already made it clear that they wanted to redistribute the shares and raise the status of the Gilded Sword Sect in the North Sea.
Other than the Gilded Sword Sect, there was also a branch of the Lu Clan of the Central Plains, the Liao Clan of the Northern Sea, a millennium-old alchemy clan. Because their clan leader had successfully advanced to the Dharma stage and had the support of the number one Danding Clan of the Central Plains, they were also trying to replace the Qiao Clan, which had already withdrawn from the 12 small forces, and become the new small force of the Northern Sea.
Originally, due to the death of the Crystal Palace's Mine Seeker, Daoist Kun An, the Liao Family had been harassed and obstructed by Cheng Shizhuang, a direct descendant of the Crystal Palace. However, at this time, there were two cultivators from the Lu Family in the Liao Family Island. With the three of them joining forces, they were able to entangle with Cheng Shizhuang.
This time, Cheng Shizhuang had obviously received the news and stood guard outside the Liao Family Island to prevent the Liao Family from participating in the Frost Island Conference. However, he did not expect to fall into Lu Runjian's trap, and Liao Runjia took the opportunity to come to Frost Island.
If these two sects jumping out to fight for the share of the spirit mine on Frost Island was justifiable, then at this time, the Four Seas Sect also came to interfere. This caused the cultivators of the various sects to secretly think that they were dead or alive. However, they could not help but think, could it be that this guy really had some amazing background behind him?
In fact, this guess was not wrong. He really did have someone backing him up, and his status was many times higher than the Lu Clan behind the Liao Clan. Thus, Gang Leader Zheng of the Four Seas Gang was able to put his heart at ease. Even in the face of the ridicule from the cultivators of the various sects, he still maintained an unfathomable expression.
However, he didn't know that the person he was relying on was currently fighting in the southeastern sea region.
Apart from these small forces, among the nine large and medium-sized sects, the last four sects had only sent their early Dharma adepts, whereas the Haiyan Sect and the Shuiyan Pavilion had each sent their mid Dharma adepts.
However, this time, the main characters of the Frost Island Conference were obviously not them, but the three leading sects, Zhenling, Cang Hai, and Xuanling.
This time, the Cang Hai Sect suddenly took the lead in this Frost Island Conference, and they had the courage to cut their losses. Speaking of which, the Cang Hai Sect could be said to have gradually risen in recent years, but too much of its light had been overshadowed by Zhenling.
According to the Cang Hai Sect's strength, if they fought with all they had, this time, the Phantom City would be re-ranked, and the Cang Hai Sect's share of the spirit stone mine would definitely increase. However, the Cang Hai Sect had resolutely given up on the spirit stone mine in the East Sea and put all their energy into fighting for a share of the spirit stone mine on Frost Island.
Compared to the Cang Hai Sect, Zhenling was the most capable of taking care of both sides. Therefore, other than Zhenling sending Tianlin and Tiankang, two mid Dharma adepts, to the East Sea, the fight for the spirit stone mine on Frost Island was personally led by the sect leader, Liu Tianling. Together with him were Tianfan and Tianxue, two mid Dharma adepts, and Guo Tianshan, a total of four Dharma adepts.
However, Liu Tianling and Laozu looked at the Cang Hai Sect's formation in front of them. Dong Yi, Dong Kun, Dong Guo, and Zhang Xiyi, four mid Dharma adepts. Together with Dong Shan and Dong Hu, two early Dharma adepts, the Cang Hai Sect had less than ten Dharma adepts. Now that six of them had come, Liu Tianling's expression became extremely ugly.
He had heard that the Cang Hai Sect had sent Dong Yun Laozu to the East Sea this time, which meant that the entire Cang Hai Sect only had Dong Ji, Wang Xiqing, and He Xiyun, three Dharma adepts.
This was the power of the entire sect!
Xuan Ling Sect's Laozu and Lin Xuqing Laozu also had ugly expressions on their faces. This time, when Xuan Ling Sect heard that Zhenling was going to the East Sea, they had immediately sent out two mid Dharma adepts, Dao Yan and Feng Xudao. Although they were missing Lu Tianping compared to Zhenling, at least Xuan Ling Sect still had the protection of the Crystal Palace in the East Sea. Even if they could not compete with Zhenling, they would not be too bad.
But they did not expect the Cang Hai Sect to make trouble at this time. At this time, Xuan Ling Sect could not spare too much power to take care of Frost Island. Dao Yan and Lin Xuqing, a mid Dharma adept and an early Dharma adept, joined forces, but in front of the Cang Hai Sect and Zhenling, they seemed extremely small. They had even been classified as the Haiyan Sect and the Shuiyan Pavilion.
At this time, Dao Yan and Laozu seemed to sense something and turned to look to the side. Coincidentally, Liu Tianling and Laozu also raised their eyes. Their eyes met and seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. They both nodded slightly, and then looked at Dongguo Laozu of the Cang Hai Sect, who was talking confidently in the middle of the field.
The northwest sea.
Ever since Zhenling secretly discovered two small branch veins and one small branch vein, Zhenling had been secretly sending practitioners to mine these three veins.
The small branch vein and the small branch vein in the northeast and southeast which were closer to this place had almost been completely mined by Zhenling without any regard for the consequences. It would probably take at least a thousand years for the veins to recover.
At this time, Zhenling's disciples were already mining the last and furthest branch vein in the southwest of the northwest sea.
The Zhenling disciple who was in charge of mining was Spiritual Master Xuanwei, who had discovered the veins here.
Ever since Spiritual Master Xuanwei followed Lu Ping and discovered three veins in the northwest sea, the scene of fame and flattery that Spiritual Master Xuanwei had expected did not happen.
After returning to Zhenling, Liu Tianling and Laozu gave him a gag order without saying anything. The whole of Zhenling did not know that a mine master had been born in their sect, and Spiritual Master Xuanwei was still being laughed at and laughed at by his own disciples.
Of course, the sect still secretly gave him a lot of compensation. Hundreds of high-grade spirit stones, dozens of bottles of pills for cultivation, the improvement of the spiritual energy supply in the cave, and so on. Most importantly, he was in charge of the excavation of the three branch veins he discovered. In other words, Spiritual Master Xuanwei was now an independent existence among the third generation disciples.
However, at this time, Spiritual Master Xuanwei did not have a trace of joy. He was constantly paying attention to the mining situation of the last branch vein, and at the same time, his mind was more focused on the talisman in his left hand.
Daoist Xuanwei didn't know why the sect had to hire disciples from the affiliated forces for the excavation of the last ore vein, instead of directly recruiting disciples from the Zhen Ling Sect's side halls and inner sect disciples like the previous two ore veins. This way, not only could the ore vein be kept as secret as possible, but it also wouldn't be like the disciples of the affiliated forces who often smuggled and hid the ores for themselves.
However, when Spiritual Master Xuanwei stopped for a while on Floating Island, he was invited by the two island lords of Floating Island as a guest. Originally, Spiritual Master Xuanwei was slightly surprised. Being invited by the couple was a matter of face among the third generation disciples. However, when he came to the couple's cave and saw Lu Tianping's smiling face, Spiritual Master Xuanwei instinctively felt that something was wrong.
But at this time, it was already too late for him to leave. Lu Tianping gave him a talisman, urging him to rush to the branch vein in the southwest as soon as possible and excavate as much of the branch vein as possible, even if he did not care about the consequences.
Although Enlightened Master Xuan Wei's character wasn't good, he was extremely astute. After Lu Ping stuffed the talisman into his hands, he knew that he seemed to have been swept into the whirlpool of a great matter.
At this time, two Late Blood Condensation cultivators came over and handed two storage bags to Spiritual Master Xuanwei. One of them said, "Senior Xuanwei, this is the output of the vein during this period of time."
Daoist Xuanwei looked at the two evasive gazes and sneered in his heart. Both of them were disciples from the affiliated forces of Zhen Ling Sect. Although they didn't dare to embezzle the ores blatantly, they had secretly left behind a lot of ores during the excavation of the ore vein.
What kind of person was Spiritual Master Xuanwei? He was able to accurately estimate the output of the vein before he became a Mineral Prospector. How could their little tricks be hidden from him?
Two reckless fools!
Spiritual Master Xuanwei glanced at the two as if he was looking at dead people. Just when he was about to open his mouth to mock them, he suddenly saw the talisman in his hand began to melt.
Spiritual Master Xuanwei was shocked, but his expression did not change. He sent the two away politely, then winked at the few Zhenling disciples behind him. They quietly left the vein and rushed towards Floating Island.
