At the same time, in the sky above the northwest sea, there were already dozens of Dharma Power Laozu gathered in the sky above the fire vein that Celestial Phenomenon Laozu was guarding.
However, none of the Laozu from the various sects rushed to the bottom of the sea to search for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. Instead, they waited quietly on the surface of the sea, as if waiting for one of the sects to come forward and negotiate with Celestial Phenomenon Laozu.
It was not that they could not enter the underwater volcanoes, but after what had happened to Zhang Xiyi, many of the Laozu had each learned their lesson. If the seal of the fire vein was broken, it would naturally be possible to bury the Zhenling Dharma adept who was currently searching for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire in the volcanoes. However, at this time, with Celestial Phenomenon around, naturally no one had any ideas about the fire vein. However, what if after others entered the underwater volcanoes, Zhenling suddenly withdrew and then activated the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire?
A breeze suddenly swirled on the quiet sea, and Dao Sheng Laozu suddenly appeared in front of all the Dharma adepts.
"Greetings, my friend Dao Sheng!"
"Greetings, Senior Dao Sheng!"
Dozens of Dharma adepts bowed together, showing the status of Dao Sheng Laozu in the North Sea.
Although Zhenling had become the number one sect in the North Sea, and Celestial Phenomenon Laozu was also the only two Dharma adepts in the North Sea, and Xuan Ling Sect was now declining, Dao Sheng Laozu's reputation as the number one person in the North Sea had not been affected in the slightest. Even if Celestial Phenomenon Laozu became a Dharma adept, it still could not shake Dao Sheng Laozu's position in the North Sea!
Dao Sheng Laozu's prestige was not because of his own cultivation, but because he had killed his way out of the Deep Sea Demon Region. Over the past hundreds of years, Dao Sheng Laozu had always been the backbone of the Human Clan in resisting the attacks of the Demon Clan. In several one-on-one battles, he had defeated two Great Cultivators of the Primordial Giant Crocodile Clan.
Dao Sheng Laozu lightly nodded his head at the crowd. After that, his silhouette flickered as he disappeared from the surface of the sea. At the location where the fire vein was sealed, Tian Xiang Laozu sensed something. He abruptly raised his head and saw a spatial rift opening up in the sea several tens of feet in front of him. Dao Sheng Laozu stepped out from within.
"Brother Tian Xiang, your sect has taken the lead again. Don't let the other Fellow Daoists wait for too long!"
Celestial Phenomenon Laozu smiled, "Sure!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and a few golden lights disappeared in a flash. He then turned around and said, "In the time it takes for an incense to burn, the Old Man will open the seal of the fire vein and lead it to Tianling Mountain."
Looking at the pure and powerful fire vein under Tian Xiang Laozu's feet, even someone like Dao Sheng Laozu could not help but feel a trace of jealousy in his eyes. "Brother Tian Xiang is really lucky!"
Tian Xiang Laozu said with a hint of pride, "It's just luck. No one expected that after mining a small mineral vein, a fire vein would be drawn out!"
Outside the tall volcano more than a hundred miles away, Lu Qin-er anxiously circled around the top of the volcano. She had been holding a jade slip in her hand for 15 minutes. The four hours were getting closer and closer, but Lu Ping still had not come out of the crater.
The underwater mountain was only a few thousand feet away from the surface. Once the fire vein's seal was undone, the entire volcano chain would erupt. At that time, Lu Ping wouldn't even have a chance to escape from the crater of the volcano.
Just as Lu Qin-er was hesitating whether to land on the edge of the crater to take a look, a muffled sound came from the magma in the crater.
Lu Qin-er's first reaction was that the volcano was about to erupt, because it was already the four-hour mark. She was about to escape with the water-proof pearl, but then she thought that if this was the case, the movement of the volcanic eruption would not be so small.
Then, there was only one possibility. Lu Qin 'er was overjoyed. When she turned around, she saw Lu Ping coming out of the Na Chuan Cauldron, his entire body looking like it was being boiled. The cauldron itself looked like it was being quenched, causing the seawater around it to sizzle. Even when Lu Ping put the cauldron back into his interspatial mystic artifact, the temperature still didn't drop.
"Brother, let's go. The four hours are almost up. Tian Xiang Laozu has already sent a communication jade slip!"
Compared to whether Lu Ping had obtained the spiritual fire in the volcano, Lu Qin-er was obviously more concerned about Lu Ping's safety. After seeing that there were no injuries on Lu Ping's body, she handed over the jade slip she had received earlier to Lu Ping.
Lu Ping was shocked. He did not care about the loss of the inner Yuan in his body due to the volcanic magma. He directly put Lu Qin-er into the Golden House, and then turned into a stream of water and fled to the area where the fire vein was sealed.
Tian Xiang Laozu was guarding the fire vein. Tian Fan, Tian Xue, Tian Lu, Tian Jiang, Tian Qin, and Tian Cheng, six Dharma adepts stood behind Tian Xiang Laozu. In front of him, there were more than ten Dharma adepts from various sects led by Dao Sheng Laozu.
"Brother Tian Xiang, the time has passed. Don't let the various sects' cultivators wait too long!"
Dao Sheng Laozu was silent for a moment, and finally spoke up to urge Tian Xiang.
Tian Xiang Laozu opened his eyes slightly and said, "There is still one person from our sect who has not returned yet. Please wait for a moment, Brother Dao Sheng!"
"That Lu Tianping has not appeared yet. Could it be that he has already fallen in the volcano?"
Behind Dao Sheng Laozu, Feng Xidao could not help but speak sarcastically.
As soon as he said this, the seven Dharma adepts on Zhenling's side were all angered. The aura of the seven Dharma adepts came crashing down on Feng Xidao. Even Dao Sheng Laozu did not dare to face it head-on. Feng Xidao was even forced back by the aura, and he almost fell to the ground on his butt to embarrass himself. His face was already red from holding back.
Two mid Dharma adepts suddenly appeared in the depths of the sea. The two of them attacked at the same time, and together with Dao Sheng Laozu, they finally managed to temporarily weaken the aura of Zhenling's side. Feng Xidao was able to catch his breath, and at the same time, he raised his own aura again, intending to join the battle.
These two mid Dharma adepts who had just appeared and dared to join the conflict between Dao Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect were not strangers. One of them was Dong Yi Laozu of the Vast Sea Sect, while the other shocked many of the Dharma adepts. It was the Easternmost Laozu, who had long announced that he would soon break through to the mid Dharma stage and become a Great Adept.
However, at this time, the Easternmost Laozu's aura was overflowing, and everyone could already sense that he had not entered the late Dharma stage. He was still at the mid Dharma stage, but it was obvious that he had reached the peak of the mid Dharma stage. The rumor that he was about to become the third Great Adept in the North Sea training world was not groundless after all.
Seeing this, Dao Yan and Lin Xuqing also hurriedly joined the battle. Dao Sheng Laozu and the Easternmost Laozu's side immediately turned the tables. However, with the cooperation of the two Laozu's, Tian Fan and Tian Xue, Zhenling's side was still able to maintain a balance with the two sects.
Right at this time, the spatial door at the bottom of the sea opened up again. Dong Guo and the two Vast Sea Sect cultivators from the East Lake Sect rushed over as well. One of them was at the mid Dharma stage, while the other was at the early Dharma stage. After the two of them joined the battle, the tables were turned once again, and Zhenling's side was now at a complete disadvantage.
Just as the seal on the fire vein was about to be broken by the Dharma adepts of the Xuanling and Vast Sea Sect, a long whistle suddenly rang out. The faces of Zhenling and the other Dharma adepts lit up with joy. A Divine Will that was as sharp as a flying sword slashed towards them. However, this Divine Will seemed to contain a burning sensation that made one's heart palpitate.
Dong Guo and the two Laozu's from the East Lake Sect clutched their heads and cried out in pain. Sweat dripped down their foreheads as they hurriedly retreated.
Lu Ping had captured the Jade Phosphorus Soulfire. Although he had yet to fully refine it, he could already make use of it with his immense Spiritual Will. Although Lu Ping had relied on his powerful Divine Will to launch that sudden attack just now, the Jade Phosphorus Soulfire's burning effect on the Divine Will had also caused Dong Guo and the East Lake Sect to be badly frightened.
This cry caused the three Laozu's from the three sects to let go of each other. This was because Lu Ping's figure had already appeared at the place where the Zhenling Dharma adepts were at the fire vein seal.
At this time, Lu Ping looked rather haggard. The huge loss of his inner Yuan had caused Lu Ping's face to look rather pale. However, when they thought about the incredible power that Lu Ping had displayed previously, the dozens of Dharma adepts at the bottom of the sea did not dare to laugh out loud or make fun of him.
When Celestial Phenomenon Laozu saw that Lu Ping had returned unscathed, he smiled and said, "How are you? Do you need some time to recover?"
Lu Ping shook his head and said, "There's no need!"
"That's good. My friends, please wait on the surface of the sea. After the Old Man removes the fire vein seal, the volcanoes will go out of control and explode. The commotion will be huge, and the danger will be even higher."
After saying that, the Zhenling Dharma adepts had already taken the lead and floated to the surface of the sea. Although the other adepts were a little hesitant, when they saw that the Zhenling Dharma adepts had left, Dao Sheng, Dao Yan, Dong Ji, Dong Yi, and the others had also left, they too started to leave.
There were a few who were slower and happened to see Celestial Phenomenon Laozu remove the fire vein seal. The formation that Perfected Xuanwei had already set up was instantly activated, and the entire fire vein began to sink into the sea. When he reappeared, he would probably already be on Tianling Mountain.
The pure fire vein contained a strong power, and the few Dharma adepts who were the last to leave looked on with envy.
However, just as the fire vein was being guided, the entire sea began to shake violently. The turbulence that had occurred in the northwest sea previously was like a child's play compared to this. The few Dharma adepts could not even stand firm, and in an instant, they were all sent flying in all directions, drifting in the sea.
Celestial Phenomenon Laozu reached out and waved his hand, and the few adepts who had been shaken to the core immediately stabilized their bodies in the sea. They did not even have time to thank Celestial Phenomenon Laozu as they all used their powers to float to the surface of the sea.
Celestial Phenomenon Laozu took one last look in the direction of the seawater. The seawater there had already been dyed dark red, and the entire place had become a world of fire. Then, Celestial Phenomenon Laozu's entire body disappeared in the turbulent sea.
At this time, the surface of the northwest sea had already become a place where tsunamis were wreaking havoc. Giant waves that were tens or even hundreds of feet high were rolling and crashing in all directions. Many Dharma adepts who were closer to the northwest sea had a change of expression on their faces. They hurriedly sent messages back to their respective sects, instructing them to activate the protective formation to defend against the tsunamis that were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of miles wide.
