In the past three years, two major events had taken place. The first was the sudden emergence of Scarlet Mist Island and the large-scale development of the North Sea's cultivation world.
This greatly alleviated the shortage of fire-attribute spiritual materials in the North Sea's cultivation world. Furthermore, there were a variety of spiritual materials in the volcanic region and the reserves were abundant. Not only did it attract the entire North Sea's cultivation world to take the risk to develop the island, but many cultivators from the East Sea and Middle Earth also came.
Due to Zhenling, the various sects in the North Sea began to divide up Scarlet Mist Island prematurely. By the time the other loose cultivators and other forces of the North Sea tried to intervene, most of the huge island had already fallen into the hands of the various forces of the North Sea, leaving only some leftovers for the loose cultivators.
When the forces of the East Sea and Middle Earth also wanted a piece of the pie, they were attacked by the forces of the entire North Sea. The two sides inevitably came into conflict. As the biggest beneficiary of Scarlet Mist Island, Zhenling faced the most provocations among the various forces of the North Sea.
Fortunately, most of the forces from Middle Earth and Middle Earth were third-generation disciples sent out by their respective sects to broaden their knowledge and experience. Although they often had the upper hand in conflicts with the cultivators of the North Sea, they were foreign dragons after all. They rarely suffered serious casualties when fighting with the third-generation disciples of the North Sea. Usually, after breaking through the obstruction of the cultivators of the various sects and entering Scarlet Mist Island, the cultivators of the various sects would not deliberately encircle and suppress them.
However, the constant fights with the cultivators of the East Sea and Middle Earth also gave the sects of the North Sea, especially the third-generation disciples of Zhenling, a wake-up call. In the past, the cultivators who were considered experts in their respective sects often lost more than they won when fighting against cultivators of the same level from the other cultivation world.
It turned out that they had always been the overlord of their own small world. They had never been to the cultivation world of the East Sea and Middle Earth, so how could they know how vast the cultivation world was? At best, they could only be regarded as a group of frogs at the bottom of a well.
Zhenling's situation was considered good among the various sects. At the very least, it was because the reputation of the Water Sword Immortal, Lu Tianping, was so great that the third-generation cultivators of the East Sea and Middle Earth would more or less give him some face. On the other hand, the situation of the other sects was not so good. In conflicts with foreign cultivators, these foreign cultivators were undoubtedly much more ruthless. Many disciples were seriously injured, and there were even news of cultivators dying.
Although the senior cultivators of Zhenling would not break the rules because of some disputes between the younger generation, as a third-generation disciple, Lu Tianping, did not have such restrictions. If they angered Lu Tianping and he stood up for his fellow disciples, there were not many cultivators of the same generation who could be his match.
After all, Lu Ping's current status in the cultivation world was earned through his own strength. When he was in Middle Earth, he was able to be close friends with Xie Tianyang of the Zi Yang Palace and Sang Yu of the Spirit Beast Taming Sect, and he was even respected by the two of them. Moreover, the three of them had a glorious battle record of fighting against a mid Dharma adept of the Tenma people. Even now, Lu Ping was still suspected of killing the young clan leader of the Tenma people.
After Lu Ping advanced to the Dharma stage, not only did he master supreme magic, but he also defeated a mid Dharma adept who also had supreme magic. He first defeated Bai Jishan on Frost Island, and then fought a battle with Wu Shihuan and Yuwen Feixiang to a draw.
Xie Tianyang, Sang Yu, Bai Jishan, Wu Shihuan, and Yuwen Feixiang were all recognized as the best of the third-generation cultivators in the cultivation world. They were also the future great cultivators of their respective sects, and they were the pillars of their sects!
And Lu Ping was able to become close friends with these people, or even fight to a draw. This kind of battle record was confirmed by the people involved, and it was spread by people with intentions. This made Lu Ping the best of the third-generation disciples in the entire cultivation world, and he had long become one of the few elite cultivators with the highest status among the third-generation cultivators in the cultivation world.
And through the accounts of these foreign cultivators, the third-generation cultivators in the North Sea cultivation world finally had a better understanding of Lu Ping's real status in the cultivation world. This understanding undoubtedly became a greater blow to the cultivators of the same generation in the North Sea. Lu Tianping, who was originally like a monster in their eyes, had many more people outside the North Sea. Then what were they?
It could be said that after Lu Ping made himself the best of the third-generation cultivators in the entire cultivation world, even the status of Zhenling, who was originally unknown in the cultivation world, was greatly improved and received attention.
In addition to more and more foreign forces getting involved in the situation in the North Sea, the second major event was Jiang Tianlin's experience of returning to the North Sea after the auction in Phantom City to kill Zhang Xiyi.
Zhang Xiyi had been hot-headed in the northwest sea and failed to plot against the leader of Zhenling, Liu Tianling. Instead, Zhenling had something on him. At that time, Zhang Xiyi also knew that he had gotten into big trouble, so he did not participate in the rise of Scarlet Mist Island, causing Cang Hai Sect's strength to suffer a great loss. In the end, the area of influence they had on Scarlet Mist Island was even smaller than that of Xuan Ling Sect.
After the incident, the Zhen Ling Sect began to brazenly suppress the Blue Sea Sect in all aspects throughout the entire North Sea. This was especially so after the Great Elder of the East Pole Sect on Scarlet Mist Island, who was still at the mid Dharma stage. As expected, the various sects in the North Sea chose to stand by and watch. At least on the surface, they all condemned Zhang Xiyi's actions.
Zhenling's suppression of Cang Hai Sect started with the dispute over the spirit stone mine on Frost Island. After Zhenling successfully suppressed Cang Hai Sect's share, the two Laozu, Tian Fan and Tian Xue, returned to Frost Island. In the following spirit stone distribution, although Cang Hai Sect's share was not forcibly taken by Zhenling, half of the supreme-grade spirit stones were forcibly replaced by high-grade spirit stones by Zhenling. Dong Kun Laozu, who was stationed on Frost Island, was no match for the Wind and Snow Immortals and had no choice but to suffer this loss.
After that, Lu Ping personally oversaw the distribution of the precious mid-sized spirit stone mine in the northwest sea. Together with Tian Feng, Tian Shan, and Tian Sen, they defeated Cang Hai Sect's Dong Yi, Dong Yun, and Dong Hu Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Yi, Dong Yun, and Dong Hu Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong Hai Sect's Dong
After that, someone found traces of Zhang Xiyi in the southeast sea region. Lu Ping personally went to chase after him, but Zhang Xiyi fled at the sight of him, and Lu Ping returned empty-handed.
On Scarlet Mist Island, Zhenling's cultivators attacked Cang Hai Sect's territory several times. Most of the time, Zhenling's cultivators robbed the other's spirit materials, destroyed the other's mines, formations, and mining puppets, and even triggered the volcanoes in their territory in advance. Although they did not cause the deaths of Cang Hai Sect's cultivators, they caused great losses to Cang Hai Sect.
Naturally, the Cang Hai Sect was not willing to be outdone. Although they were in the wrong in the sneak attack on Liu Tianling, they still fought back as much as they could against Zhenling's all-round suppression. Unfortunately, Zhenling had already expected this. In the face of the Cang Hai Sect's counterattack, Zhenling's defenses were tight. After several battles, not only did the Cang Hai Sect not gain much of an advantage, they also lost a lot of people, and the momentum of their counterattack was weakened once again.
Of course, Zhenling's strength would also cause some sects in the North Sea to have other thoughts in their hearts. Although they did not help either side on the surface, they secretly provided convenience. At the very least, they had to let the Cang Hai Sect persevere under Zhenling's suppression. Only then could they achieve the goal of mutual destruction.
Although the Cang Hai Sect also knew the intentions of these forces that secretly supported them, they had no choice but to swallow this bitter fruit at this time. In order to exchange for the secret support of these forces, the Cang Hai Sect gave up countless benefits and sold a lot of inheritance that originally belonged to them.
At this time, Jiang Tianlin, who was far away in the East Sea, heard the news of Liu Tianling's attack after attending the Fantasy Spirit City's auction. He quickly rushed back to the North Sea with Xiang Lou Laozu, leaving only Tiankang Laozu to guard Jingzhe Island.
Jiang Tianlin, who returned to the North Sea, didn't have time to report to the sect what he had gained in the East Sea. The first thing he did was take over the command of the Dark Hall from Liu Tianling and began to search for traces of Zhang Xiyi in the entire North Sea.
Under Jiang Tianlin's command, the entire Dark Hall began to operate at an astonishing speed. Furthermore, it displayed a power that far surpassed what it had displayed in the past when it was under Li Xuanyin and Liu Tianling's control. It was as if they were peeling silk from strands, and once again, they found traces of Zhang Xiyi.
This time, Jiang Tianlin personally took action and very quickly found Zhang Xiyi, who was hiding in the northeastern sea near the Deep Sea Demon Region.
Before meeting Lu Ping, Zhang Xiyi's only opponent in the entire North Sea was Jiang Tianlin. After advancing to the mid Dharma stage and mastering supreme powers, Zhang Xiyi's greatest hope was to be able to fight Jiang Tianlin in a fair and square battle.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ping appeared out of nowhere and beat him up before Jiang Tianlin could even make a move. In the end, Zhang Xiyi was forced to retreat and run away.
But in the depths of Zhang Xiyi's heart, he still hoped to fight Jiang Tianlin. Perhaps this had become the only hope to maintain the pride in his heart.
However, reality was cruel. Both sides could be said to be enemies, and the battle lasted for several hours. In the end, "Restless Vast Ocean" was defeated by "Fallen Petals in Profusion". Although Zhang Xiyi wasn't injured, Jiang Tianlin forcefully took away 18 years of his lifespan, which was even more chilling than being injured.
Zhang Xiyi had no choice but to flee again. Jiang Tianlin chased after him. The two of them ran and chased for two whole years. From the northeastern sea to the Deep Sea Demon Region, they were chased out by the Primordial Crocodile clan's great practitioner, Ao Xuan. Then, they entered the southeastern sea and fought again on Huan Yu Island. When they reappeared, they were already in the southwestern sea.
Along the Stormy Ocean, they fought all the way to the vicinity of Frost Island. Then, they went to the northern Stormy Ocean. The two of them fought six times along the way, and Zhang Xiyi lost every time. In total, he had lost 100 years of his life to Jiang Tianlin. All the Dharma adepts of the North Sea who had been watching this battle were so shocked that their teeth hurt.
A lifespan of a hundred years! Zhang Xiyi had only cultivated for a little over six hundred years. Even if he was at the mid Dharma stage and had a lifespan of 1,200 years, he was only left with a little over 500 years. Now, Jiang Tianlin had shaved away a fifth of his lifespan!
This great technique of "Fallen Petals" could really kill people without spilling blood!
It was at this moment that the pursuit between the two of them that shook the entire cultivation world of the North Sea had to stop. Back then, the Asura that had been chased away by the five great cultivators of the North Sea had suddenly led a large army of Asura demons out of the Ocean of Storms. This time, not only Zhang Xiyi, even Jiang Tianlin had to flee.
In a short year, the northwestern sea, except for Scarlet Mist Island, had fallen into the hands of Mara!
