With the passage of time, the violent turbulence of the sea finally began to slow down. However, the rolling waves and rising steam made it seem as if the entire northwest sea was boiling.
Lu Ping knew that this was the underwater volcano erupting. At the same time, it was also rising towards the surface of the sea. However, at this time, he could not care about the situation around him like the other Dharma adepts. At the same time, intentionally or unintentionally, he and the other Dharma adepts began to occupy their own territories in mid-air.
After coming out from the mouth of the volcano, Lu Ping had actually used up quite a lot of his inner Yuan. Fortunately, his inner Yuan was much stronger than that of ordinary people. However, when he had rushed to the place where the fire vein was sealed, the inner Yuan in his body had already been used up by more than half. Otherwise, he would not have needed to borrow the power of the Jade Soul Fire.
Although the Jade Soul Fire was a Spiritual Fire of the Heavens and Earth, if it was not refined by True Essence, it could only be used by planting a seed in this Spiritual Fire using Divine Sense.
Lu Ping's body was filled with water-based inner Yuan, so refining this spirit fire naturally took twice the effort for half the result. Fortunately, Lu Ping's Divine Will was strong, so he was able to do it with ease.
Lu Ping floated in mid-air, holding a top-grade spirit stone in his hand as he began to recover the inner Yuan in his body. At the same time, in his heart's core space, the Linglong wine cauldron was also emitting a dense mist. The Dragon Dharma Power opened its mouth and inhaled. This dense mist was continuously refined by the Dharma Power and fed back into Lu Ping's blood. The inner Yuan in his body began to recover quickly.
Using top-grade spirit stones to replenish the inner Yuan in one's body was a luxury even for Dharma adepts. The scarcity of top-grade spirit stones meant that Dharma adepts would usually only use top-grade spirit stones during training. Just to replenish the inner Yuan in one's body, high-grade spirit stones were more than enough.
However, when Lu Ping had captured He Xiyun alive, he had naturally robbed her as well. Besides the few treasures that He Xiyun had kept in his heart's core space, Lu Ping had basically taken everything from her body.
Among them were six or seven top-grade spirit stones, which He Xiyun had probably accumulated over the years. Now, all of them had gone to Lu Ping. Lu Ping, who had gained some extra income, naturally did not mind using a top-grade spirit stone to quickly recover his inner Yuan.
The North Sea cultivators were indeed incomparable to the East Ocean Crystal Palace cultivators of the same level. Back then, Lu Ping killed Ancestor Kun Yu, who was also at the early Dharma stage, had more than 20 top-grade spirit stones on him. The difference in treatment between the two cultivators was like heaven and earth.
While Celestial Laozu and the others tried to expand their Zhenling range in mid-air, they also surrounded Lu Ping to prevent him from being disturbed.
At this time, a new round of struggle between the various sects and Laozu had begun once again. The rising water vapor formed a thick, red poisonous fog on the surface of the sea, constantly obscuring people's vision and even hindering the detection of the adepts' Divine Will. Fortunately, there were Dharma adepts everywhere in the sky, so they did not care too much about the poison in the fog. However, in order to expand their respective territories as much as possible, everyone still began to suppress the fog that rose from the surface of the sea.
The fog was suppressed again and again, forming a layer of red poisonous fog that was ten feet high on the surface of the sea. The tumbling seawater was already covered by the thick fog, but the tumbling fog was still able to indicate the situation at the bottom of the sea to the adepts.
The seawater within a radius of a thousand miles was boiling, and the red fog was rising. All the adepts on the surface of the sea were secretly shocked as they tried to occupy their territory. From the looks of it, the entire group of volcanoes under the sea was equivalent to a giant island with a radius of a thousand miles. On top of it, there must be a huge mountain range. If the entire mountain range was a group of volcanoes, there must be thousands or even tens of thousands of them.
However, everyone in Zhenling had already expected this, so they just blindly formed a huge encirclement in mid-air, constantly occupying the area above the sea.
At this time, the adepts of the various sects had also reacted. Countless communication jade slips were once again sent out in all directions, beginning to call for reinforcements from their respective sects.
Some of the sects that were closer to the northwest sea had already sent their adepts over to join in the encirclement of the various sects. However, in front of Zhenling, even excluding Lu Ping, there were still seven Dharma adepts. The other sects, like Xuan Ling Sect and Cang Hai Sect, were far from being able to compete with them.
Just at this moment, several powerful beams of light cut into the formation that the Dharma adepts had formed on the surface of the sea, causing the cultivators of the various sects to be enraged. However, when they saw the people in the beams of light, they had no choice but to give up and cease their attacks.
Wu Shihuan, Cheng Shizhuang, Ma Shifang, and Zhang Shijie, these four adepts of the Crystal Palace had joined Xuan Ling Sect's camp, causing Xuan Ling Sect's power to increase greatly. The area that they occupied above the sea instantly doubled. The Dharma adepts of the neighboring sects of Xuan Ling Sect had no choice but to retreat in the face of the fierce reputation of the Crystal Palace. In an instant, the area that Xuan Ling Sect occupied exceeded that of Zhenling.
Another few beams of light flew over. Dong Kun had also rushed over with He Xiyun and Wang Xiqing. Out of the five mid Dharma adepts of the Cang Hai Sect, four had arrived. Only Zhang Xiyi had not appeared until now.
With four mid Dharma adepts and three early Dharma adepts, the area that the Cang Hai Sect occupied also expanded rapidly.
However, Zhenling had no intention of competing with these two sects. They only occupied the area of the sea according to their own rhythm. Also, unlike the other sects who occupied the area blindly, the positions of the few Laozu of Zhenling on the sea were much more orderly. However, it was fortunate that the other sects did not want to clash with Zhenling at this time. Once there was any conflict with Zhenling's area, they would immediately retreat far away.
Even so, there were still many sects who had begun to move closer to Zhenling, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and slowly formed a loose encirclement around the perimeter.
Other than the Zhenling adept, Ceng Jian, who had seen the full picture of the underwater volcanoes, no one from the other sects had ever seen the true nature of the underwater volcanoes. Now that they saw Zhenling's arrangement to occupy the sea, they naturally knew that Zhenling was purposely encircling some of the more valuable volcanoes into their own area of influence.
The volcanoes that Zhenling had set his sights on in the future might not be as good as Zhenling's volcanoes, but at least they would be much better than their own random encirclement, relying entirely on luck!
At this time, two beams of light came rushing over from the sea in the distance. At this time, almost all the Dharma adepts from the various sects had arrived. As the various sects occupied their own areas of influence, they all turned their attention to these two beams of light.
The first person turned into a hurricane. When his entire body stopped, a gust of wind blew past, almost causing the crimson poisonous fog that had been suppressed and condensed by the tens of Dharma adepts below his feet to swirl again.
Zhenling, Liang Tianfeng!
At this time, perhaps only Zhenling had the energy to spare to send out a Dharma adept.
However, Liang Tianfeng's appearance only caused many of the Laozu present to sigh a little. The Dharma adept behind Liang Tianfeng was the one who once again shocked the entire North Sea Street.
Zhenren Xuan Sen, no, it should be Laozu Tiansen now!
After decades of training in seclusion, Zhenren Xuan Sen, who had also condensed a seventh-grade Golden Core, had finally broken through the final barrier and become Zhenling's fifteenth Dharma adept.
15 Dharma adepts. This was a huge force. Even the powerful Fei Ling Sect only had 18 Dharma adepts in the past.
At that moment, the various Laozu Sects in the entire North Sea all had different thoughts. The various sects, which had originally been competitive with each other, all became dispirited. On the other hand, Zhenling's power had increased greatly because of the addition of two Dharma adepts. The area of the sea that it controlled increased again and again, and the sects that had gathered around Zhenling also subconsciously avoided Zhenling's expansion.
Although there was a thick layer of crimson fog covering the surface of the sea, at that moment, a series of water columns began to erupt from the surface of the sea, forcing Laozu Sects who were floating on the surface of the sea to increase their altitude as much as possible in order to avoid the water columns that were shooting towards them.
Before the boiling hot seawater could return to the sea, it had already turned into water vapor and dissipated, leaving only puffs of crimson poisonous fog that filled the air. Then, they were once again suppressed into the crimson fog layer on the surface of the sea by the adepts.
At that moment, Lu Ping, who had been floating in the air recovering his inner Yuan, suddenly jolted, as if he had received some news. He suddenly raised his head and said, "It's coming, be careful!"
After saying that, he took the lead and continued to increase his altitude from the surface of the sea. A clear cry sounded, and Lu Qin-er transformed into a Green Phoenix. Carrying Lu Ping on her back, she began to circle above the surface of the sea.
What a divine Blue Luan mount!
The various sects did not have time to exclaim. Those who reacted quickly, knowing that the underwater volcano was about to rise from the surface of the sea, also hurriedly prepared to attack.
However, what the crowd waited for was not the volcano rising from the surface of the sea. Instead, the volcano began to erupt tens of feet from the surface of the sea with fiery lava.
A Dharma adept could not dodge in time and was instantly hit by a column of fire. His entire body screamed in pain, and he cast more than ten protective spells. However, by the time the people beside him managed to save him, he looked like he was on the verge of death, and no one knew if he would be able to recover.
Although there were a few other Dharma adepts who managed to avoid the pillars of fire that shot out from the bottom of the sea, they were still burnt to a sorry state by the high temperature of the flames.
The cultivators of the various sects all turned pale with fright. They did not expect that the lava that the volcano spewed out would have such power. No wonder that Zhenling cultivator could fly so high. They had already been prepared for this.
The various sects' cultivators all began to fly high above the surface of the sea. At that moment, pillars of fire began to shoot up from the bottom of the sea. From afar, it looked as if the entire sea was on fire.
Hundreds of pillars of fire covered an area of about a thousand miles on the vast surface of the sea. Indeed, it was the size of a huge island.
And as these hundreds of pillars of fire turned into thick volcanic ash and began to fall towards the surface of the sea, the sea in front of them suddenly welcomed a moment of silence.
Just as everyone was wondering what was happening, a low rumbling sound suddenly came from the bottom of the sea. It was as if a monster hidden at the bottom of the sea was about to rush out of the sea.
Gurgle! Gurgle!
Gurgle! The splashes of water became more and more frequent, and the cultivators of the various sects became more and more anxious. At that moment, almost a hundred beams of light suddenly lit up from the red fog that covered the entire surface of the sea.
"It's coming out, it's coming out!"
Nearly a hundred streaks of light suddenly broke through the crimson mist and fled in all directions.
