Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit Chapter 54 - Comeback

Lu Ping lay quietly on the seabed, not moving even an inch. However, he carefully observed the battle between Qiao Xipeng and the sea snake monster with the warning charms he had placed around the island beforehand.

After being attacked, Lu Ping immediately guessed that the culprit was Qiao Xipeng of Xuan Ling Sect.

He defended himself from the blow using the stone pagoda and Flying Swallow Sword, then further weakened the sword’s momentum by casting two top-grade blood charms. Even so, the attack was strong enough to kill an ordinary Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm cultivator.

Fortunately, Lu Ping was wearing the vest forged from the sea snake monster’s skin. The vest was a mid-grade defensive mystic instrument and it managed to block more than half of the attack’s remaining power. The sword’s remaining power wasn’t enough to threaten Lu Ping’s life anymore.

Furthermore, Lu Ping and his Spirit Seeking Mouse, Dabao, had been eating the sea snake monster’s meat. The bodies of normal monsters were naturally much stronger than the humans, let alone a noble monster like the Emerald Sea Spirit Snake. Hence, its meat had greatly nourished Lu Ping’s body.

Lu Ping laid still without moving. The depth of the sea and the spirit-sealing charms had concealed his arcane energy deep within his body.

Qiao Xipeng’s divine sense came and left in an instant. Lu Ping heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, he carefully used the warning charms to look at the battle above the sea.

This was Lu Ping’s first time observing a battle between Blood Condensation Realm experts at such a close distance. It was an eye-opening experience that allowed him to gain a number of insights. Especially the sea snake monster’s innate talent for water spells. It showed Lu Ping what the next state of cultivation would look like exactly. Lu Ping sensed that he wasn’t too far from the next state, which should be the state of “Law”.

Initially, Lu Ping planned to activate the charm Master Immortal Liu gave to him. However, the charm was crafted by Blood Condensation Realm experts. Once activated, the huge wave of arcane energy from the charm would definitely alert Qiao Xipeng and
