Chapter 946: Chapter 914: Elemental Magnetic Star Ring

Situations like this often unfold here.

Many strong cultivators come not alone but bring along their juniors to see the world, to recognize that there are always stronger beings and higher heavens, and to admonish them not to be arrogant or complacent.

This also allows many cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage to enter the Li Family and observe this clan competition.

Upon entering the Li Family, many Li Family cultivators act as guiding envoys, leading the people to their seats.

This time, it’s the Li Family’s turn to host the competition between the two clans in their territory, held in the family square, which is immense, accommodating over ten thousand people.

High above the venue, a gigantic star ring artifact stands out, attracting Lu Ping’s attention.

"Tier Five Spiritual Artifact..."

Lu Ping’s eyes shifted, clearly sensing the fluctuating aura of that enormous star ring.

The artifact’s diameter is at least thirty zhang, composed of three interwoven star rings that slowly rotate clockwise, emitting a hazy silver glow.

Wen Xianhe looked around, amazed by the gathering of powerful figures in the surrounding area; there are over three hundred Crystallization Stage cultivators alone, with over a dozen Golden Core cultivators, all wearing conspicuous and easily recognizable golden rings.

Noticing Lu Ping’s gaze toward the Elemental Magnetic Star Ring above the square, she enthusiastically introduced it.

"Elder, this Elemental Magnetic Star Ring is extraordinary; it’s said to be a Tier Five High-Grade Spiritual Artifact. Once unfolded, its Light of Primordial Magnetism can easily slay even Nascent Soul cultivators; it is the Li Family’s clan’s sacred artifact..."

Listening to Wen Xianhe’s introduction, Lu Ping could also sense the exceptional nature of this Elemental Magnetic Star Ring. Even if he encountered this artifact head-on, he wouldn’t choose to face it directly.

No wonder the Li Family dares to open their clan doors wide, allowing experts from various realms to flood in.

The presence of this Elemental Magnetic Star Ring is enough to deter anyone with ill intentions toward the family, not to mention the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs stationed in the Li Family. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

While Lu Ping was observing, he could sense, with his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, that a Nascent Soul True Monarch was seated not far away.

Looking over, Lu Ping found an elder conversing with several high-ranking members of the Li Family, his gaze occasionally sweeping over those who came to observe.

This Nascent Soul cultivator is none other than Li Mingxu, the second Nascent Soul cultivator of the Li Family.

Beside him, another Nascent Soul cultivator sat openly, presumably the clan leader of the Li Family, Li Qianye.

"Huh?"

Li Mingxu’s gaze swept across the various external experts and emitted a sound of surprise when it landed on Lu Ping, perceiving three different auras from him.

Among them, one had reached the Golden Core Stage, and another seemed to vaguely surpass the Golden Core Stage.

The presence of Shanshan and the Void Celestial Sword Spirit allowed Li Mingxu to sense them.

"What is it?"

Hearing Li Mingxu’s tone of inquiry, Li Qianye’s features tensed and he inquired.

"Oh, it’s nothing. Among those who have come this time, there are several powerful individuals. Yu Yang City truly hides dragons and crouching tigers."

Li Mingxu laughed as he spoke and paid no further attention to Lu Ping, as familiar faces caught his sight and diverted his attention.

Speaking of the Long Family, besides the external experts, their contingent this time not only includes several outstanding young members but also six or seven Crystallization Stage cultivators, three Golden Core cultivators, and even one Nascent Soul cultivator has come along.

Leading them was the Long Family Elder, Long Changzhi, whose cultivation had reached the Second Layer Nascent Soul, as they entered the square area.

Seeing this, Li Qianye and Li Mingxu exchanged a glance and immediately stood up to greet and welcome these Long Family cultivators.

The square was bustling and crowded, with many seats set around the central competition stage. Lu Ping casually found a spot to sit, and seeing this, Wen Xianhe also sat beside him.

Around Lu Ping were strong figures from Yu Yang City, mostly loose cultivators, with more than half having brought their juniors along.

After Lu Ping sat down, a few cultivators took a few glances, and upon seeing Lu Ping’s youth, a young man in his twenties smiled, wanting to greet Lu Ping and ask where he was from.

At this time, the old man next to the youth saw the golden ring in Lu Ping’s hand and immediately showed a serious expression, pulling his grandson back.

The young man was puzzled, thinking he wanted to make friends and seeing that Lu Ping seemed approachable and easy to talk to. Why was his elder pulling him back?

"This person is wearing a golden ring..."

Until he heard his grandfather murmur the words "golden ring" in confusion, he noticed the ring on Lu Ping’s finger and froze, feeling a sense of inadequacy, he became a quiet gourd, not speaking anymore.

"Elder Lu, is it really you?"

At this moment, a voice of surprise rang out, attracting the attention of the grandfather-grandson pair, Lu Ping, and Wen Xianhe.

Looking towards the source of the voice, Lu Ping saw Bai Tianming approaching with a smile, followed by several juniors, both male and female, whose cultivation was around the Qi Refining Stage, just over twenty years old.

"Bai Daoist."

Upon meeting neighbor Bai Tianming here, Lu Ping courteously smiled and greeted him.

The nearby grandfather and grandson duo, seeing the clear golden ring on Bai Tianming’s hand, and noticing his enthusiastic greeting and addressing Lu Ping as "Elder," were both surprised.

For a golden ring bearer to speak with such reverence, didn’t that mean Lu Ping was even more powerful, warranting a Golden Core cultivator to respectfully address him as an elder?

Just who was this respected individual sitting nearby?

"I didn’t expect Elder Lu to be here as well."

Bai Tianming introduced the few people he brought along, saying, "These are a few of my juniors; I brought them here to see the world."

Bai Tianming smiled, introducing each one of his juniors in turn: "This is Bai Long, Baiqin River, Bai Ziyun, Bai Chunling."

Realizing the extraordinary identity of Lu Ping, the four showed respectful expressions and bowed.

"Greetings, Elder."

They spoke in unison.

"Hmm."

Lu Ping merely nodded slightly.

Seeing the situation, how could anyone not understand Bai Tianming’s intentions? Clearly, he was hoping his juniors could make a small impression, perhaps gaining a fortunate encounter from Lu Ping in the future.

Shwoop.

Shanshan, sensing Lu Ping’s reluctance to engage further, swiftly appeared in front of him.

"Master, Master, there are so many people here."

She exclaimed excitedly, casually glancing at Bai Tianming.

"It’s you; I wondered why the voice sounded so familiar."

"Haha, it’s nice to meet your master here."

Being a shrewd person, Bai Tianming accompanied his words with a courteous smile. The mere Golden Core Eighth-Layer aura emanating from Shanshan already gave him much apprehension, inwardly thinking what an impressive combination this was, with such strong individuals.
