eversed. At this moment, the door on the stone platform was closed and the runes fell silent.Everything seems normal, but I just don't know if I can go back.After a moment of hesitation, Qin Sang said...There are too many troubles in Zhongzhou to recount.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
After leaving Yanyue Monastery, Qin Sang went to Ganlu Zen Temple.
That was his plan: to first travel west to the Western Land, inform the cultivators of Xi Tu about the ascension platform, and personally visit Master Huaiyin.
He learned that Master Huíyǐn came from the Dàbēi Chán Temple in the Western Regions, where many practitioners engaged in ascetic practices and possessed a rare lineage of physical cultivation.

Also, please ask Xitu to help find the fragments of the Di Sha Jian.
He always suspected that there were other fragments yet to be collected.
First, each domain has a corresponding immortal palace, which stores fragments of the Earth-Killing Sword and incomplete chapters of martial arts manuals.
The second reason is the cultivation technique itself. The person who created the Metadivine Sword Nourishing Scripture must be a peerless genius. Is it possible that they would only stop at the Void Refining stage
>
However, there has always been communication between Buddhist schools in Zhongzhou and those in the Western Regions. Master Xingji confirmed that in the past, the Western Regions had never discovered a fairy palace.
It is also possible that a certain cultivator or sect found the Immortal Palace, keeping it secret and enjoying its benefits alone.
Qin Sang couldn't visit every corner of Xitu alone, he needed the help of local forces. If he found the fragments of the Earth-Killing Sword and the remaining pages of the cultivation technique, he naturally wouldn't take them for nothing.
This trip, Qin Sang only brought his incarnation, leaving the Black Lion Saint in Zhongzhou.
Western affairs were settled, and he still had to journey to other realms. Unlike the West where there were ancient teleportation arrays, he could only travel through storms. The black lion was actually a burden in this case.
The Black Lion Saint was left behind, first as his mount to hold down the Zhongzhou region in his stead, and second as a mountain guardian saint of the Qingyang Guan, assisting Shen Chen.
Besides acting humble before Qin Sang, the Black Lion Saint could strut about anywhere in Zhongzhou. All factions, regardless of their affiliation, treated him with utmost respect.
Even without considering Qin Zhenjun's face, the Black Lion Great Sage is a top-tier powerhouse on his own, and no one wants to offend him.

After Qin Sang left, the black lion was quite carefree and pleased.
Qin Sang only brought his external avatar on this trip.
The avatar consumes a lot of energy, the secondary soul embryo is weak. It can also return to the main body for nurturing and recovery, which may be even faster.
Anyway, when the storm passes through, it won't affect my cultivation.
Bringing along a guise is also a precaution against storms that may bring unpredictable dangers, such as encountering extremely powerful beasts. Just in case.
The yellow sand of the Western Desert rolled in.
Qin Sang flew westward alone in the sea of sand.

The closer you get to the storm belt, the higher the temperature rises. A dry, hot wind blows in your face, carrying scorching heat waves, and you can see the air itself distorting with your own eyes.
After a while of flying, a patch of crimson appeared at the end of my vision, like the most brilliant sunset.
Only by seeing the true face of 'the sunset glow' can you feel the terror within. This is not a light of dawn, but billowing flames!
That was the storm belt, but it wasn't the ocean Qin Sang was familiar with; it was land.
On land, flames surged into the sky, forming a raging firestorm. The heavens were filled with endless tongues and sparks of fire, covering the entire sky in an unbroken expanse.
Qin Sang could clearly see that the originally invisible barrier had been dyed crimson, as if countless fire spirits were dancing on it, firmly blocking the invasion of the flame storm into the cultivation world.
An invisible barrier separates the storm's interior and exterior into two distinct worlds. On the opposite side lies a world composed of raging fire. The earth is cracked, fissures abound everywhere, lava covers the ground, and flames from beneath erupt continuously from the cracks, forming towering pillars of fire wherever they strike.
It's a miracle that this piece of land has managed to stay united until now.
Swept up by the storm, the lower layers were a magma storm, while the upper layers were a firestorm. Both were equally scorching and boundless, able to incinerate everything, even more terrifying than storms at sea.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Lower-ranked cultivators, if they dare, can enter the storm zone on the sea. But they would never dare to venture too deep into the firestorm.
Qin Sang saw two monks standing outside the barrier from afar.
The other party also saw Qin Sang and immediately flew over, arriving in front of Qin Sang and bowing: "I pay my respects to True Lord Qin. We have received a message from the abbot and are here to take True Lord Qin to the ancient transmission array."
Three figures moved ceaselessly, flying into the whirlwind of flames.
Two monks' robes shimmered with a deep blue light, like ripples of water emanating from the fabric. The light surrounded them, pushing back the flames, clearly crafted to withstand such an environment.
Qin Sang remained motionless, the flames unable to get close to him.
Lowering his head to examine the terrain below, Qin Sang secretly thought, "This piece of land has always been like this. I wonder if it will nurture some extraordinary kind of spiritual fire."
This kind of innate spiritual fire is very rare. If the grade is sufficient, it can be used to cultivate the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus".
However, this land expanse is boundless, and it is said that it extends all the way to the Western Lands, with both realms sharing a single piece of land. Meta-infant late-stage cultivators cannot withstand the constant searing heat and searching within the firestorm throughout the year would be impossible. Qin Sang had to personally experience it to know for sure.

Let's take care of business first. I can come back and look for other things later.
After a short while, the two monks who were leading the way stopped.
They stood above an endless lava lake, the molten rock surging like the sea in towering waves, revealing the immense depth of the lake. The scene was monotonous, but Qin Sang keenly sensed that this place differed from elsewhere.
>
"My Lord, the ancient teleportation array is located at the bottom of the lake."
A monk pointed down at what was below.
It turns out this lava lake is very special, with an ancient formation left over from a long time ago. The ancient teleportation array exists today precisely because of this formation.
But after countless years, the spirit formation has become too burdened and is almost impossible to repair. Making large movements could accelerate its destruction. The Buddhist sect can only make simple repairs, and the same applies to the other side.
Because one couldn't stay in the lake for long, the monks responsible for guarding the ancient teleportation array could only remain outside the lake. This gave the Ghost Mother an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
It wasn't until the Ghost Mother activated the ancient transmission array that they realized.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang went deep into the magma and soon found the ancient teleportation array. He embedded a spirit stone, and with a flash of light, he vanished from his original spot.
The West.
On a volcanic lake, several figures stood suspended in the air. They were all Buddhist monks.
A lone figure stood ahead, thin and aged, a kindly old monk with white hair. Beside the old monk stood a tall, handsome monk seven feet high; this was Master Huaiyin.
All the monks watched silently below, as if waiting for someone.
"Wow!"
>
A figure suddenly shot out of the magma. Seeing the group of monks above, the figure paused slightly before flying straight towards them.
"See Qin Zhenjun."
The old monk clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist invocation. Master Huayan and the others also followed suit and paid their respects.
"Having seen Master Zhitan," Qin Sang stood still and bowed, "This poor monk dares to visit, disturbing all the high monks' quiet meditation."
This Master Zhitan is the abbot of Dàbēi Chan Temple and is considered the number one expert in the Western Regions.
Master Huaiyin would also pay his respects to him with the disciples' etiquette.
“Master Zhenjun, why would you say such a thing Master Zhi Tan, I already know your movements in Zhongzhou, and I feel admiration for you. Your ambition is lofty and your heart embraces the world; we should all lend our full support,” said Master Zhitan, his voice calm yet carrying a convincing force.
Qin Sang looked at Master Huaiyin again, "Many years have passed since we last met, but Master's appearance remains unchanged."
Qin Sang secretly marveled at Master Huaiyin's appearance.
Master Huaiyin's complexion was full and healthy, it seemed his injuries had fully recovered, and he looked even more youthful and valiant than before.
Qin Sang noticed that his flesh and blood were crystal clear like jade, and there seemed to be a faint layer of golden glow, extraordinary and unusual. He probably had made further progress in his strength, perhaps due to the refining of that Xinyin Yuanjing.
>
"Back then, the True Immortal made a name for himself in the Wu Xiang Xian Men. His peerless elegance is something this old monk will never forget," said Master Huai Yin, smiling kindly. He was completely different from his fierce and terrifying demeanor when he fought.

This is no place for idle chatter. Why don't we walk and talk
Master Zhi Tan interjected.
Qin Sang nodded, "The poor Taoist is just about to visit your esteemed temple and take a look at the customs and people of the Western Regions."
Unexpectedly, Master Zhi Tan shook his head. "No need to rush back to the temple, poor monk will first take True Monarch to a place and ask True Monarch to identify it."
Qin Sang was surprised and didn't know what he should identify.
Several people flew north with Master Zhi Tan.
Along the way, Qin Sang learned the truth and was greatly surprised and astonished.
As it turns out, they're going to a place that is suspected to be the remains of a fairy palace!
The Western Buddhist tradition and the Central Plains Buddhist tradition have always had a deep connection. Before his departure, Master Huiguang also informed Dàbēi Chan Temple of the inside story.
Upon learning of the ascension of the Zhongzhou Immortal Palace, Master Zhi Tan speculated that if there was an Immortal Palace in Xituo, it might also ascend together.
In contrast to the geographical features of Zhongzhou, which were diverse and included both land and water, Xitu was entirely landlocked. Since it was possible that the ascension of the Immortal Palace might leave traces behind, he secretly dispatched his disciples to investigate the area thoroughly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It was recently discovered.
>
From a small family in an oasis, it was learned that an ancestor of theirs had once traveled through a storm belt and unexpectedly witnessed a celestial phenomenon.
At that moment, the sky was engulfed in flames that soared towards the heavens. It looked like a red dragon bursting from the earth, ripping through the void and vanishing into thin air. The man was terrified and fled in panic.
Counting the time, it's exactly the day when the fairy palace ascended.
Master Zhi Tan and Master Huai Yin had just left there, leaving behind a bottomless pit that had already been filled with lava, erasing its prominent traces. However, it seemed that remnants of a celestial ban still lingered in the depths of the pit.
But even in the storm zone, the Qi of the earth was chaotic and turbulent. The two masters ventured a short distance before feeling their strength waning, forced to retreat. They then asked Qin Sang to proceed and identify it.
Explaining the reason, everyone came to the place.
From above, there is no difference here compared to other places.
Leaving the other monks behind, Qin Sang jumped into the lava with the two masters. Gradually, the two masters fell behind. Qin Sang urged his Fire Lotus to protect himself and ventured deeper alone.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! I'm happy to help.
...to the deepest depths, and then operated the heavenly eye divine power, probing for a long time.
>
After spending half a day, the three of them went back and forth.
>
"The remaining celestial prohibitions below are no weaker than those in the celestial palace!"
Qin Sang's voice was laced with a hint of excitement as he declared. He had found fragments of the Immortal Ban in the pit, and compared to the Immortal Ban within the Qisha Hall, they felt comparable.
The formations of Xiaohan Yu's Blood Lake, Zui Yuan's Abyss Ruins, and Xuan Tian Gong's Sacred Land couldn't compare to the Immortal Palace's Immortal Prohibitions.
This place is likely the site of another fallen fairy palace!
That year, the man saw exactly the scene of the fairy palace breaking through the sky.
“The Western Paradise truly has immortal palaces, I didn't expect them to be hidden underground.”
Qin Sang glanced south. He had already inquired about the terrain of Xitu and learned that this place was in the north of Xitu. This land was vast and boundless, with Zhongzhou located at the eastern end of the landmass. However, Xitu was not at the western end of the landmass but was surrounded by land on all sides.
"I think this place is not far from the Cultivation World, at least a Nascent Soul cultivator has the ability to come here. Could it be that no one has discovered anything unusual and entered the Immortal Palace"
Then Qin Sang pressed for an answer.
>
If there's a fairy palace, there might be cultivation techniques and fragments of the killing sword!
If it were to fall into the hands of a certain force, no matter what, we must get it back.
"Master Zhi Tan spoke in a low voice: 'I don't know what this place looked like before the Immortal Palace ascended, but Bi Temple has no relevant records. This poor monk and all the previous masters have also joined forces with other temples many times to search for the Immortal Palace together, but found nothing. As far as I know, I haven't heard of any sect suddenly prospering and obtaining an extraordinary inheritance.'"
After a moment, Master Zhitan said again, "Before I left, I sent letters to invite the abbots of various temples and fellow practitioners to join this grand gathering. They are all currently waiting at the temple for the True Monarch. If any sect were alone in occupying the Immortal Palace, now that the palace has ascended, there is no need to keep it a secret any longer. Qin Zhenjun also brought news of the Ascension Platform. We can use this opportunity to inquire about it."
Without Qin Sang needing to speak, Master Zhi Tan would take the initiative to investigate this matter.
It's not that I covet the other party's treasure.
All signs point to the Heavenly Demon Sound being connected to the Immortal Palace ascension. It's possible someone received something in the Immortal Palace that could be traced back to the source of the Heavenly Demon Sound.
The Zhongzhou Sanjiao Alliance had already done so. When Qin Sang returned to Canglang Sea and Beihai, he would also investigate.
Qin Sang nodded and said, "This humble Taoist has been collecting the secret arts of the Immortal Palace. Even fragmented pieces are useful. If you have any news, please have your master send someone to inform me."
Master Zhitan is beyond compare.
They didn't stay for long, flying together towards the immortal cultivation world.
Qin Sang was discussing Dharma with several high monks, planning for the upcoming grand event, while also thinking about the time when he would enter the Immortal Palace.
In the entire Xiaoqian world, Beichen Realm and Beihai are not far apart, and can be regarded as one. In fact, Beichen Realm has been considered one of the four realms of Beihai since ancient times.
The North Sea, Zhongzhou, Xitu, and Canglang Sea all have immortal palaces stationed in them.
Such a correspondence is by no means a coincidence.
What is the relationship between the celestial palace and the various domains of the immortal cultivation world Which came first
Did the shelters come first, attracting the immortals' palace Or did the existence of the palace allow for an invisible barrier to be erected in this world on the brink of destruction, protecting the surrounding beings
Where is the Demon Sea Are there fairy palaces and pieces of the Earth-Killing Sword there
If there is one, where is the Earth-Killing Sword located Could it be that there are more than one such immortal swords
Moreover, when he and Liuli traveled through the storm, they encountered a deserted cultivation world, its scope far smaller than the other realms. Was there a fairy palace there
Qin Sang then asked Huaiyin Master about this, and it turned out that Zhongzhou had always known about that place. For great cultivators, the distance between the two places was not far.
It is said that in the past, there were not only living beings but also cultivators practicing. For some unknown reason, a great plague broke out. When powerful figures from Zhongzhou went there later, they were horrified to find that all living creatures had been exterminated and it had become a dead place.
Some suspect that it was brought in by local monks who inadvertently brought it from an ancient secret realm. It's impossible for such a terrifying plague to exist in the mortal world, but no one dares to confirm this.
As these thoughts were swirling, the group arrived at the edge of the storm.
As Qin Sang crossed the invisible barrier, he instinctively raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, sighing inwardly. "I only hope that the ascension of the Immortal Palace won't affect the barriers of the Cultivation World, leaving a glimmer of hope for the creatures of this realm."
At this moment, the usually taciturn Master Huaiyin spoke up, interrupting Qin Sang's thoughts. "I see that Zhenjun's qi and blood are extraordinary, and you are also skilled in the way of body refinement"
(The End)
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! find such a heaven-defying treasure"Upon hearing this, Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat.Although he turned himself into a walking corpse, with the Jade Buddha's protection, he wasn't truly practicing...
