Chapter 867 835: Return to the Cyan Mountain Sect
Lu Ping understood the concerns of Zhang Tianhe and Pei Long, and briefly informed them that he was here for the Elemental Magnetic Blood Stones.
"Elemental Magnetic Blood Stones, indeed, these only originate from the Demon Abyss."
Zhang Tianhe nodded slightly.
He comprehended the value of this item and also desired to obtain them.
However, with his strength, trying to sneak to the bottom of the Demon Abyss to retrieve those Elemental Magnetic Blood Stones was no easy feat, fraught with dangers.
In the Demon Abyss, there were many Outer Realm Demons lurking, among them a known Peak Golden Core Stage Horned Demon, and who knows how many unknown Golden Core Evil Demons.
The true important task was to guard the surroundings of the Demon Abyss.
As for how Lu Ping managed to pass through the array seal and enter the Demon Abyss.
Whatever kind of divine techniques he used, Zhang Tianhe and Pei Long, knowing that Nascent Soul True Monarchs must have some extraordinary methods, reached this conclusion.
Nonetheless, they were genuinely concerned.
If the Outer Realm Demons also mastered such methods, wouldn't it mean they could escape the confines of the Demon Abyss and emerge outside?
Zhang Tianhe, being meticulous in his conduct, voiced this concern and wished to know how Lu Ping crossed that array seal.
Upon Zhang Tianhe's inquiry, Pei Long felt secretly nervous.
Posing such a question would certainly make Lu Ping unhappy.
Pei Long looked at Lu Ping with a wry smile.
Only to see Lu Ping's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke lightly: "By employing space-related divine techniques, short-distance teleportation can be achieved."
This simple statement led Zhang Tianhe and Pei Long into contemplation.
Soon enough, both came to realization.
"Senior, forgive the junior for the presumptuous inquiry, but this genuinely concerns the seal of the Outer Realm Demons and cannot allow for negligence."
Zhang Tianhe laughed along and exchanged a glance with Pei Long.
Together, they opened a corner of the array, releasing a spatial area for Lu Ping to exit the Demon Abyss.
They noticed that the aura of cultivation emanating from Lu Ping deterred the nearby Outer Realm Demons to such an extent that they dared not come close.
The closest Outer Realm Demon to Lu Ping was several hundred miles away.
At this moment, opening a corner of the array posed no issue.
"Thank you, fellow cultivators."
With a corner of the array opened, Lu Ping didn't need to attempt to manifest the Xuanyuan Sword Form.
He flew out of the array's corner, and once he reached outside the array, the opened corner quickly closed.
"Senior, I have a request."
With Elemental Magnetic Blood Stones in hand, Zhang Tianhe hesitated a bit, expressing his interest in purchasing some, asking if Lu Ping had any extra to sell.
"There are still some left."
Having collected a sufficient amount of Elemental Magnetic Blood Stones, Lu Ping did not refuse to sell some.
This was also his way of thanking the two for letting him out, sparing them lengthy explanations.
Lu Ping took out two Elemental Magnetic Blood Stones and traded with Zhang Tianhe.
The transaction price for one Elemental Magnetic Blood Stone was roughly fifty thousand Spirit Stones.
Seeing Lu Ping willing to sell a few Elemental Magnetic Blood Stones, Pei Long was also interested, wanting to buy one or two.
Seeing this, Lu Ping simply sold another Elemental Magnetic Blood Stone.
After completing this transaction, the relationship between the two parties seemed to have slightly improved.
Lu Ping recalled the matter of the space vortex with significant puzzlement and also wished to remind the Dubhe Institute, raising the topic.
Hearing this, Zhang Tianhe and Pei Long, originally calm and smiling, turned somber.
"Not to hide from Senior, recently the activity of the Outer Realm Demons has become rampant. Those space vortices you saw are the gateways to this world."
"If these space portals are not properly guarded, Outer Realm Demons will continuously arrive in this world, causing trouble, which will be quite a headache."
Zhang Tianhe revealed the truth; this was no trivial matter.
Earlier, they guarded here initially just to guard the seal.
As time progressed, anomalies also emerged in the Demon Abyss.
Currently, there was even the lurking threat of a large-scale invasion of this world by Outer Realm Demons.
This has made the task of guarding the Demon Abyss increasingly important, and the Dubhe Institute places great emphasis on this place.
To the extent that the higher-ups of the Dubhe Institute took action, sending a Nascent Soul True Monarch and inviting the Jiuhua Sect's Jiuhua True Monarch and the Southern Wilderness's Purple Jade Demon Emperor to join in guarding this place together.
Recently, due to the increasingly rampant activities of the Outer Realm Demons, the number of emerging space vortices has also gradually increased, causing the Dubhe Institute to frown.
Six months ago, the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Dubhe Institute, in unison with Jiuhua True Monarch and Purple Jade Demon Emperor, ventured into the space vortex to confront the Outer Realm Demons.
So, seeing Lu Ping emerge from Mo Yuan, Zhang Tianhe and Pei Long were not surprised, only puzzled as to why Lu Ping appeared here?
Could it be that he came with Jiuhua True Monarch and others?
Only after learning that Lu Ping came to obtain Elemental Magnetic Blood Stones did they realize.
"Senior, I fear that in the future, this Demon Abyss will not be peaceful. Should a crisis occur, when the Demon Abyss calls for aid, we must act to suppress the demons."
Zhang Tianhe sighed, casting his gaze at Pei Long.
"Indeed, the strength of these Outer Realm Demons is formidable. Senior, you must have encountered them in the Demon Abyss and know of their abilities."
Pei Long spoke.
The Dubhe Institute also sought to bring Lu Ping, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, into their fold, hoping he could assist them in countering the Outer Realm Demons at critical moments.
Therefore, in their conversation with Lu Ping, Zhang Tianhe and Pei Long had intentions of recruiting him.
Having gleaned detailed information about the situation in the Demon Abyss, both wore worried expressions, evidently finding it recently challenging to guard.
The Dubhe Institute, too, focused heavily on the Demon Abyss.
Gaze shifting to the Demon Abyss, looking at its unfathomable darkness, Lu Ping's eyes flickered with light.
This Demon Abyss was far from being as tranquil as he had imagined; it was actually teeming with danger, and the number of Outer Realm Demons was increasing.
If a large number of Outer Realm Demons poured out from the space vortex, breaching the array seal of the Demon Abyss, that would indeed be troublesome.
It was essential for the Dubhe Institute to guard here and secure the Demon Abyss.
Pondering over the matters of the Demon Abyss, Lu Ping conversed a bit more with Zhang Tianhe before finally bidding farewell, flying back to the Cyan Mountain Sect.
This journey's objectives were achieved, having acquired both Void Crystal and Elemental Magnetic Blood Stones, and everything went smoothly.
Upon Lu Ping's return to the Cyan Mountain Sect, his presence drew the attention of Lu Yuanshan and others.
Lu Ping greeted Lu Yuanshan and settled in the Back Mountain Forbidden Area, preparing to refine the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword, crafting this Unparalleled Immortal Sword.
With all the refining materials gathered, there was no longer any need to delay.
"You have gathered the refining materials."
Upon Lu Ping's return, the Void Celestial Sword Spirit immediately sensed Lu Ping's aura and had arrived at Lu Ping's secluded cultivation site, eager to witness the refining process of the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword.
