Lu Ping quickly rushed out along the path and slipped through the Water Smoke Silk. However, one end of the Water Smoke Silk still struck Lu Ping and injured him.

His aegis energy went from faint blue to a dark purplish color. Lu Ping didn't fight back and used the momentum from the attack to propel him forwards.

The river of sword lights in front of him all struck the same spot on the ice halo. Despite Shui Wu-Huan being far more powerful than Lu Ping, the heavily concentrated sword light attacks still caused the ice halo to crack.

Shui Wu-Huan closely chased after Lu Ping. Her face was cold as ice as she cast another spell to heal the crack in the ice halo.

It was too late to recall the Golden Scale Sword to keep the crack open. Additionally, Lu Ping's condition didn’t allow him to cast another great sword divine ability.

Lu Ping gritted his teeth and sent out a white fire to the crack along with seven high-grade spirit stones. He cast the [Spirit Explosion Technique] on the spirit stones, causing the massive spiritual energy to enhance the white fire and melt the ice around the crack.

"This is... A wonder fire?"

Shui Wu-Huan was overjoyed and moved faster. She had already assumed that it would soon be hers after she killed Lu Ping.

The white fire was the Spirit Fueled Mystical Heavenly Fire. It was initially an Earth-class mid-grade wonder fire, but after it was enhanced by the seven high-grade spirit stones, its power was no weaker than an Earth-class high-grade wonder fire.

As the Spirit Fueled Mystical Heavenly Fire melted the ice and enlarged the crack, the ice halo reached its limit and shattered into pieces, falling to the ground.

Despite this, the situation still didn't look good for Lu Ping. He was severely injured; his fellow sect members were entangled by opposing Enlightened Masters, and Shui Wu-Huan still had plenty of energy left and the determination to kill him.

There was no way out for him; death was still inevitable.

A few moments later, Shui Wu-Huan caught up to Lu Ping, and said pridefully, "Where else can you go now?"

Lu Ping looked back at her in surprise. How could she be so proud of herself when she had to put in so much effort just to kill a young Mid Core Forging Realm cultivator? Shouldn't she be ashamed of herself instead?

Lu Ping didn’t know that in her eyes, he was now equal to a walking treasure vault. The Earth-class mid-grade wonder fire alone was equal in value to a Late Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master. If she could bring it back to her sect, she would be rewarded heavily.

Even though Shui Yan Pavilion and Hai Yan Sect were ranked as the third and fourth sect, respectively, the whole of Shui Yan Pavilion had less than twenty Late Core Forging Realm Enlightened Masters. Hence, a Late Core Forging Realm was worth much more in Shui Yan Pavilion than in Zhen Ling Sect.

At the same time, Shui Wu-Huan was also relieved that it was finally coming to a close. Given how capable Lu Ping was, his value and worth in the Zhen Ling Sect had to be higher than they had initially expected. If he didn’t die here today, she would probably have to live the rest of her life worrying about his revenge.

Furthermore, even if she killed him, she would still have to worry about the Zhen Ling Sect's revenge. When that happened, an Earth-class mid-grade wonder fire would help ensure that she had the sect's backing.

Just as Shui Wu-Huan was about to attack Lu Ping with the Water Smoke Silk again, the teleportation formation on Ice Frost Island suddenly lit up, and a heavenly aura immediately spread throughout the entire island.

Then a second aura arrived, followed by a third, fourth, fifth...

A total of twelve heavenly auras appeared on the island. They were like twelve suns, radiating across the entire island.

The Great Ancestors!

Xuan-Sen was overjoyed, but in his joy he was oblivious to the fact that there were twelve Great Ancestors that had arrived instead of the initial ten!

Instantly, one of the heavenly auras created a purple tsunami out of thin air. The tsunami pounced on Shui Wu-Huan who was after Lu Ping!

Divine revelation morphing! This was a special trait of Great Ancestors; the ability to morph their divine revelation into any object they wished to use in their attacks!

Teacher is here!

With her divine revelation alone, Liu Tian-Ling sent Shui Wu-Huan flying away like a rag doll!

How powerful!

Is this the gap between the Late Core Forging Realm and the Great Ancestors?

Such heavenly strength...

All the Enlightened Masters, including Lu Ping, who had just escaped death by a fine line, were dumbfounded after seeing Shui Wu-Huan’s condition. She was spitting out a mouthful of blood, her face turned purplish-gold, and a layer of ice started to form on her skin.

"Liu Tian-Ling, how dare you!?"

A loud shout sounded out while Liu Tian-Ling's typical calm and gentle voice replied, "What's the matter, you have a problem with me?"

Lu Ping was dazed. He had heard about his teacher's dominance in the sect before, but he hadn’t actually gotten to witness it until now. It sure was strange to see his noble and gentle teacher act so domineering.

A middle-aged man with white hair and a baby face appeared out of nowhere and caught Shui Wu-Huan before she hit the floor. Then, he quickly tucked a purple medicinal pellet in her mouth and tapped her back to help her swallow it. 24062

After that, the Enlightened Masters from Shui Yan Pavilions rushed over and took Shui Wu-Huan from his hands. The middle-aged man looked gloomily in Lu Ping's direction, and said, "You crippled her great divine ability?"

Unlike the middle-aged man's silent entrance, a palace door appeared beside Lu Ping, and Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Ling walked through the door gracefully. She didn't even look at him, and said, "So what? At least I didn't cripple her cultivation base, she can still learn another great divine ability."

Lu Ping quickly bowed to greet her, while the middle-aged man who appeared to be Shui Yan Pavilion's Great Ancestor condemned unhappily, "Because of a young Mid Core Forging Realm child you’ve severely injured a Late Core Forging Realm pillar. Do you have no regard for the peace between the sects? Has the Zhen Ling Sect no regard for the North Ocean's overall situation?"

"Oh? Are you suggesting that the fight between two Core Forging Realm cultivators can break the peace between our sects? Do you have no regard for the greater good of the human race?"

"You...!"

Shui Yan Pavilion's Great Ancestor glared at Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Ling; he didn't know how to reply all of a sudden after she threw his own words back at him. He had just said that a Mid Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master mattered for nought, and Liu Tian-Ling had said a Late Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master also didn't matter.

Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Ling looked at Lu Ping. Then, she casually waved her sleeves and a massive wave of true energy surrounded Lu Ping, helping him recover from his injuries. Lu Ping was only able to absorb the true energy because Liu Tian-Ling had allowed him to, and most importantly, the energy was close in nature to his own [North Ocean Wave Listening Scripture], albeit much purer and thicker.

Lu Ping's [North Ocean Wave Listening Scripture] was the combination of the [Sea Coast Wave Listening Scripture] and the [Flying Spirit Ocean Treading Scripture]. The former was the cultivation method Liu Tian-Ling used and had cultivated all the way to the Avatar Realm, so her true energy was naturally purer and thicker.

With his teacher's help, Lu Ping spat out a mouthful of blood that turned into blood ice shards. His purplish face turned pale white, but his spirit had been elevated, and his true energy circulated faster in his body, allowing him to recover faster.

Meanwhile, Liu Tian-Ling glanced over at Lu Ping with a trace of surprise on her face. She noticed the difference in Lu Ping's cultivation method from his true energy, but she didn't say anything.

Another Great Ancestor traveled over, treading in the sky. He smiled, and said, "The fight is between the little ones. As seniors, we are not to interfere or we'd be bullying the juniors.This is the custom and it has always been this way."

The Great Ancestor's clothes and the Enlightened Masters that quickly gathered around him clearly indicated his identity – Hai Yan Sect's Great Ancestor.

Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Ling sneered, "In that case, I'm now feeling apologetic towards Junior Martial Sister Shui Wu-Huan. I think she just wanted to teach my disciple a lesson. Junior Martial Uncle Cang-Li, I think Junior Martial Sister Shui has no other intentions besides this, right?"

Hai Yan Sect's Great Ancestor Cang-Li smiled awkwardly; he had forgotten that Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Ling was a generation younger than him and in the same generation as Shui Wu-Huan. He also didn't know that Lu Ping was Liu Tian-Ling's disciple, making Lu Ping a generation younger than Shui Wu-Huan.

In that case, Shui Wu-Huan, the senior, was bullying Lu Ping, the junior. Once again, Liu Tian-Ling had used their own words back at them.

The moment the Great Ancestors arrived on the island, they had already seen everything that had occurred with their divine revelation, so they naturally knew that Shui Wu-Huan was trying to kill Lu Ping. As a Great Ancestor, Cang-Li’s pride wouldn't allow him to ignore the truth and lie, so he sighed and kept quiet.

The older first generation had already passed their golden era.

The second generation now had three Great Ancestors, two from the Zhen Ling Sect and one from the Xuan Ling Sect. It was also rumored that the Zhen Ling Sect had another one in closed-door cultivation preparing for the breakthrough.

Although Hai Yan Sect was ranked third, it didn't have a single Great Ancestor from the second generation. This was why Great Ancestor Cang-Li sighed, Hai Yan Sect really had to pick up the pace if it wanted to keep its position.
