uickly seized an opportunity to have Yama kill the assassin. At the moment the assassin stiffened, Qin Sang's fingers moved like lightning, crushing his throat as a cover-up.He had a keen sense of ti...A girl's voice is naturally sharp, and when she screams, it can pierce eardrums.

If the hold were not forbidden to prevent entry and exit, and if the sound were to spread outward, I'm afraid people would suspect Qin Sang of having some strange habits.

Qin Sang stared coldly at the Sun God Tree, suddenly feeling something was amiss. His voice seemed to gradually take on a crying tone, with clear sobs.

He looked at the Qilin source seed in his hand, then at the Sun God Tree, his expression strange. He was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

The Suzaku's spirit was very sad.

He never expected that Qin Sang had not refined the source of the Qilin into his body at all.

The Vermilion Bird's spirit couldn't understand how Qin Sang cultivated "Fire Lotus" to such a high level without relying on the Kirin Source Seed.

This qilin used secret arts to set a trap, harming people unseen and unheard. It is definitely not a benevolent creature.

The 《Fire Seed Golden Lotus》 passed down from the Qilin serves the purpose of reviving the source species. It must contain a contingency plan within its secret techniques, devising ways to guide practitioners in refining the Qilin source species. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a futile effort, like drawing water with a bamboo basket, leaving others to benefit for nothing

Therefore, it can be inferred that even if practitioners do not rely on the Qilin source species, they may still be able to enter the sect. However, when they reach a certain level of cultivation, they will inevitably encounter numerous obstacles.

More ruthless, leading practitioners astray and bringing about the danger of self-immolation or a fatal explosion.

> Despite the fact that the qilin's breath within the fire lotus Qin Sang had cultivated was extremely faint, Zhu Que’s spirit never doubted it. She simply assumed that the source had been dormant for too long, its essence obscured and dim.

He regretted it deeply.

According to his previous plan, he should wait for some time. The Qilin's lineage needed to be deeply rooted before the crisis arrived, which would give him a better opportunity to manipulate Qin Sang.

By that time, if the lotus's aura hadn't changed, she would definitely sense something amiss and be on her guard.

On the way, a Heavenly Phoenix True Feather unexpectedly appeared. It was very beneficial to him, and he couldn't resist the temptation and showed up early.

Since Qin Sang wasn't in danger of being possessed, how could it force Qin Sang to submit and worship it

It's a shame that this person tricked me into giving away my source energy extraction technique.

The spirit of Zhuque wept the more she thought about it, sobbing and crying until finally she burst into tears. It was impossible to tell which of the divine birds was crying.

"Are you done crying"

Qin Sang listened for a while, then lightly sipped his tea.

“No... uh...”

The spirit of Zhuque seemed to feel ashamed, angered and embarrassed. It cried out in a delicate voice, "You lied to me about the secret technique!"

“If your intentions were not malicious, you would have warned me long ago about the hidden dangers of this technique, helping me turn danger into safety. I would be eternally grateful and show you my utmost respect. What requests could you possibly have that I wouldn't fulfill Why has it come to this”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang snorted coldly, staring at the Sun God Tree with a hostile gaze.

The spirit of Zhuque fell silent.

Qin Sang played with the Qilin Source Seed in his hand and looked at the nine divine birds, faintly asking, "Do you still want the Qilin Origin"

"When...what do you want to do" The Suzaku Spirit asked guardedly, but her voice couldn't hide the hope within it.

Knowing his thoughts, Qin Sang smiled faintly. His question was naturally well-considered.

According to the spirit of Suzaku, it has a way to tame the Phoenix True Fire within the Heavenly Phoenix's Plume. First, let it tame it, then refine it myself. This should be easier than directly extracting the Phoenix True Fire from the Heavenly Phoenix's Plume and greatly benefit my cultivation of the "Seed of Fire Golden Lotus".

Although this technique is related to the Qilin, one does not need a Qilin bloodline to cultivate it. The practitioner feels that this technique has great potential and, for now, doesn't feel any hidden dangers. They don't plan on giving up on it.

Of course, Qin Sang was also very interested in the origin of the Qilin.

If one could extract all the essence of the source species and use it, their spirit and soul would greatly increase, and their strength would rise steadily. In the future, when entering the Netherworld, they would have several more points of certainty.

Once a cultivator reaches this level, it is extremely difficult to make further breakthroughs in this realm. When the path to ascension is open, if a Nascent Soul cultivator has no burden from their sect's disciples, they can simply cultivate in seclusion for a period of time before embarking on their journey eastward.

The emergence of the Kirin is undoubtedly a stroke of good fortune.

Seizing opportunities is not an easy task, it's definitely not as simple as what the Suzaku spirit said.

Qin Sang wanted to extract the essence of the Kirin's source seed without triggering any accidents that would cause it to awaken within his body, even though he wasn't afraid of being possessed.

Based on this secret technique alone, he wasn't entirely confident. Just in case, he might need the help of the Suzaku Spirit if things went awry.

After several probes, the phoenix spirit, intoxicated by its success, revealed a lot.

Qin Sang saw that although the spirit of Zhu Que wasn't inherently pure and kind, it was also not a completely wicked being. It was just a bit naive.

If one were someone else, controlling their own life and fortune, they wouldn't be so willing to bargain. They wouldn't allow themselves to be treated like Zhuque's spirit, who accepts negotiations and offers generous terms in return.

However, this is just a judgment made from his brief communication with the Suzaku spirit. He still needs to inquire further about its details.

"Have you forgotten the oath I just swore"

Qin Sang held the Qilin Source Seed, raised it in the middle, and said with a smile, "Whether or not I have been possessed doesn't affect the oath taking effect. I can't be sure of finding the Qilin Origin alone, nor do I want to let others know about the secret and leak it out. Cooperating with you is a good choice. Unfortunately, I am a human race, and I don't know if I can refine the Qilin Origin. If the Qilin Origin doesn't suit me, then who else could it be"

The eyes of the nine divine birds suddenly lit up, their fiery gazes flickering with divine light, "Is this true"

The spirit of Zhu Que wasn't truly foolish. There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Hesitantly, she asked, "What do you want me to do"

Qin Sang retracted his finger, holding the Qilin Yuanzhong in his hand, and said solemnly: "I want to extract the essence of the Qilin Yuanzhong and refine the Phoenix True Fire. I'm afraid that one person alone may not be enough. I hope you can lend a helping hand."

Upon hearing this, the Vermillion Bird's spirit wished it could incinerate Qin Sang with a mouthful of Nanming Lihuo. Qin Sang was even worse than it; he wanted it to work for nothing and yet, it had no way to retaliate against him.

Qin Sang also knew that the emperor understood the importance of well-fed soldiers. He couldn't keep dangling the elusive Qilin source in front of him forever. He added, "The Qilin seed and the Heavenly Phoenix True Feather are both things belonging to this poor Daoist. Since you uncovered the secrets of these treasures, as a reward, if you help me honestly, I can offer you a share of the benefits."

This is similar to the previous two conditions, but more acceptable than before.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Thinking back on his recent proud and shameless behavior, the Zhuque spirit felt ashamed and indignant.

Qin Sang did not wait for its response before suddenly changing his tone and coldly stating, "This poor monk can choose to ignore your act of coercion, and these conditions are no harsher than what you proposed earlier. But the prerequisite is that you must trust this poor monk. Otherwise, this poor monk will definitely find a way to eliminate the hidden danger around him! Tell me about your origins..."

The spirit of Suzaku remained silent for a long time, but eventually spoke, revealing its origins.

Let it tell you.

It would be more accurate to call it the nascent spirit of the Suzaku rather than its true spirit.

It turns out that when he received the Vermilion Bird's True Feather, the Vermilion Bird's young spirit had not yet been born. Instead, it was by his side, gradually regaining its intelligence within the Sun God Tree.

When exactly, Zhuque's young spirit couldn't say. According to it, it seemed as if it had been able to sense its surroundings for a very long time, but it was always muddled and hazy, unable to understand the meaning of what it sensed, nor distinguish day from night.

At some point, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have regained my senses. Looking back, the past was a blur, hazy and unreal, like a dream.

The young Suzaku spirit suspects that its spiritual essence was never lost, but rather scattered and has only now awakened.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Qin Sang recalled the place where he had obtained Zhuque's true feather. It felt like a fire room used for alchemy, and he suspected that the owner of that place had imprisoned Zhuque's spirit there, causing it to continuously supply the Nanming Lihuo.

The fire chamber is sealed with an enchantment that can suppress the Southern Ming Li Fire. A single fragment of green bronze can restrain Zhuque's True Feather.

Zhuque's young spirit had remained there for so many years, oblivious and unaware. Only after being taken away from the Ziwei Palace did he regain his sentience, likely due to the restrictions in place within the Fire Chamber.

Qin Sang asked Zhu Que's young spirit to recall the past, but countless years had worn it away. All that remained was a vague memory: being held by a hand at the nape of its neck and then thrown somewhere unknown. After that, it had been in a daze ever since.

It couldn't remember the hand's appearance, but the breath of it was seared into its memory, convinced it was her sworn enemy.

"This vermilion bird will surely avenge this grudge!"

The young Zhuque, with a whimper, puffed out its chest, its voice laced with a hint of grievance.

Knowing its enemy would undoubtedly be formidable, the fourth condition was to enlist Qin Sang's help in avenging it. However, it was also wary of scaring Qin Sang away, so it decided to leave a veiled hint first.

Now that both the Kirin Source Seed and Heavenly Phoenix True Feather are gone, I want revenge but don't know when or if it will ever be possible.

Hearing this, Qin Sang almost laughed out loud. No wonder he seemed so naive, revealing all the details in just a few words.

He called out to his seniors several times, almost getting tricked by a young spirit.

Thanks to the Jade Buddha, otherwise this round would have been truly difficult to resolve. I could only obediently offer up the young spirit of Vermillion Bird, it's practically like having a pet.

However, although Suzaku's young spirit was still immature and its instincts were not fully developed, upon encountering the Qilin's source and the Heavenly Phoenix's true feather, it instinctively knew that they were beneficial to it, as if it was born knowing how to control them. This is also why Suzaku's young spirit believed that it was awakening rather than being reborn.

To the naked eye, the Zhuque real feather was very complete, each feather strand clear and supple.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Actually, that's not the case.

Perhaps having been sealed for too long, constantly being drawn away from the Southern Ming Li Huo, and constantly under attack by the fire chamber's restrictions, Zhuque's true feather was unknowingly damaged beyond recognition. Its appearance was completely changed, and the nature of the Southern Ming Li Huo was also altered, differing from the true Zhuque True Fire.

The young Suzaku spirit was reborn, finding that even it couldn't control the extremely violent flames of its own lineage. It could only carefully comb and repair them, waiting for the true feathers to recover. Staying in the Sun God Tree felt more relaxed, and it couldn't even condense fire into form outside. It could only use the voice of the Sun God Bird to speak.

That's why controlling the Sunbird wouldn't be easy, Qin Sang was helpless against it.

The young Suzaku spirit desires to restore its former glory, but the True Feather of Suzaku is crucial for this. However, the rate of self-recovery is too slow.

It absorbs the essence of the Qilin's source energy to strengthen its true spirit, and refines the Phoenix's true fire to restore the Suzaku's true feathers. Both are indispensable.

It's a pity that all these treasures belong to Qin Sang.

"Please send me more, so I can recover quickly and help you sooner," said Zhu Que's young spirit, Ai Ai.

Qin Sang smiled, "Don't get ahead of yourself. You should know that ascending to a higher realm in this world is not easy. The heavens change."

"What kind of Heavenly Dao" Zhu Que's young spirit was confused.

Qin Sang saw that it wasn't disguised, so she told it about the changes in this realm and watched its reaction.

“This this this… When will I be able to get revenge”

Nine divine birds stared wide-eyed, exclaiming in astonishment. They couldn't articulate their thoughts but remained determined to seek revenge.

Seeing this, Qin Sang couldn't help but feel disappointed, "If you want revenge, you should help me improve my strength. Ascend to the upper realm, then there is a greater possibility."

Now there is another reason to subdue the young Suzaku spirit.

Although Zhuque's young spirit cannot control the True Feather of Zhuque, as long as he receives its full support, manipulating the Solar Bird will be much easier for him.

If both sides cooperate tacitly, they might even be able to try and move the nine divine birds!

As it turns out, the power of the Sun Birds isn't simply additive. When all the Sun Birds emerge together, even if they can't completely vanquish the Abyss, they would be nearly invincible.

This trip back to my old stomping grounds was truly rewarding!

Not only did he obtain the Taiyi Star Chariot, but he also received this assistance. After digesting these gains, even if he couldn't find the Ascension Platform, he would have the ability to venture into the Return to Nothingness.

The Suzaku spirit now relies only on Qin Sang, who was already moved. The situation in this world made it decide faster.

Both parties quickly agreed on the terms.

"Do you remember your former name"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang's expression softened, his voice gentle. Seeing the sunbird all over in flames shake its head, he chuckled playfully, "From now on, you'll be called Little Red."

Nine sunbirds raised their necks in unison.

"I, Zhu Que!"

Finally, Qin Sang agreed to call it "Zhu Que" as a sign of respect before it stopped.

Both parties went back and forth, but in reality, it wasn't a long time.

The air outside the Dharma Boat was calm, and the guardians of the Jiao King stood on the water, their feet stirring ripples but not daring to move. They watched the Dharma Boat, but each one's expression was tense, their bodies taut, their spirit lacking even a tenth of its former strength.

At this moment, the Dragon King must be contacting all the clans of the Demon Sea.

The content within the tags "" is empty. There is nothing to translate. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Fellow cultivator, there is no need to stand here listlessly. Please go on your way."

Qin Sang transmitted the sound, and all the clans discussed together. They certainly couldn't leave out the Phoenix Clan.

The Phoenix King didn't expect Qin Sang to let her go so easily. A look of surprise flashed across his face as he glanced at the avatar. He cautiously flew out of the magic boat, seeing no obstruction, and swiftly dove into the sea, entering the ancestral land of the Jiao Long clan.

After they have finished their discussion, it will certainly take some time.

In the cabin, Qin Sang temporarily put away the Heavenly Phoenix True Feather and placed the Solar God Tree in front of him. He held a transparent lotus seed in his palm and asked, “How many days will it take to seize the essence of the Qilin Source”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

I don't know.

Nine celestial sunbirds shook their heads. “If you won’t let me intervene, I can’t judge the situation. However, I must remind you that when you extract the essence of the qilin seed, you must constantly suppress the true spirit of the qilin with your divine consciousness, preventing it from reviving. During this time, when engaging in duels with others, your divine consciousness will be restricted and you won’t be able to unleash your full power.”

Qin Sang nodded slightly. He was mentally prepared, but it didn't matter. In this world, only ferocious beasts could threaten him, and he wasn't short of means.

>

The so-called influence is not that one cannot use divine consciousness entirely, it's just that perception is slightly inferior to the present, and it is difficult to cast divine consciousness secret arts, and driving the fire lotus is a bit sluggish.

Flesh, poison orbs, escapism techniques, magical treasures, and sword formations, etc., are all usable. They may consume more true essence, but within a bearable range.

He has now changed his plans and decided to return to Zhongzhou first to arrange for the repair of the Taiyi Star Chariot, then go to Beihai.

The journey ahead is long, and repairing the Taiyi Star Chariot will take considerable time. This period will be sufficient for refining the Kirin Seed Source.

As long as the wait isn't too long, he can endure it. If it takes too long, he can just give Zhuque a bit more.

Devouring all the essence of the Qilin lineage, one wonders to what realm this power could elevate oneself.

Qin Sang was very much looking forward to this, tentatively sending out a wisp of his divine sense to envelop the Kirin source seed. was eerily quiet below.He walked left and right along the edge for a while, finding that everywhere looked similar. The bottom was a mess of chaos, and it seemed to be the same no matter where he wen...
