en so, he couldn't escape the fiery gaze of the Flame Flying Monkey.'Squeak...'Accompanied by two shrill screams, the lava lake suddenly churned.Suddenly, the surrounding fire monkeys were startled an...Qin Sang was unaware of the exchanges between Zhan Gui and the others.
Zhijian Zhenren was standing on the edge of the cliff, waiting for Qin Sang to come out, and then he drove his escaping light back to Jianxin Island.
"How is it going"
Please let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
The Swordmaster asked.
Qin Sang sighed, "Dao Ting wants me to infiltrate the ghost country."
To this, Zhi Jian, the real person, was not at all surprised. He and Qin Sang had discussed it before, analyzing that this possibility was the greatest.
Masters of the Taoist path are numerous, and tasks that are easy to complete and pose little danger can be handled by Dao Court immortals themselves.
Only missions that involve infiltrating enemy territory and carry significant risks would be outsourced to outsiders.
“Let a poor monk investigate a certain secret realm, said to be near a demon king’s palace. The situation is unclear, and upon entering the Ghost Country, someone will contact me…”
Qin Sang briefly summarized the contents of Fa Zhao's summons.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Actually, there's nothing to hide. He'll have to wait until he reaches Gui Fang Guo to learn the specifics about the secret realm.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This also indicates that there are still variables to come.
"Near the prince's mansion" Zhijian Zhenren furrowed his brows.
Qin Sang nodded, he was worried about this very point.
What is called a Wangfu, is the county governor's mansion of the ghost kingdom. It cannot be compared to the demon king's cave in the storm world.
The Ghost King of Guojun, known as the Demon King by common people, was equivalent to a Great True Person of the Daoist sect and a powerful cultivator at the Refining Void stage!
He could exude demonic energy and disguise himself as a demon cultivator. It is unlikely he would be detected by cultivators of the same rank.
But who knows if something big won't happen in the secret realm Although the summon written by the Taoist priest states that it's still a distance away from the Prince's Mansion, Qin Sang couldn't help but consider the possibility of attracting the Demon King.
The divine abilities of cultivators at the Lianxu stage, Qin Sang had never had the opportunity to witness, nor did he want to test them with his own life.
> This spell was surprisingly easy to cast.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Swordmaster Zhijian asked about Qin Sang and Zhan Gui Zhenren's conversation, shaking his head again and again. "Fellow Daoists, your luck is not good. Both invitations to the divine realm are difficult to complete, and dangers abound."
Qin Sang was very optimistic, "Fortunately, I invited fellow Daoist to come along. Zhenren Zhan Gui gave me leniency. The first Dao summoning is probably prepared for the true Zhenren Dong Xuan. If it's forced upon me, this poor Dao can only accept it."
>
The two exchanged a few more words, then the Sword-wielding Immortal asked him what he intended to do.
Qin Sang asked, "Have you gotten the results, Daoist friend"
"Zhijian Zhenren nodded and said: 'Although there is one piece of news that hasn't been confirmed, it is almost certain. I, Youhuang, and Goyun, two other True Masters, are preparing, and it shouldn't take too long. I will tell you the details now...' "
Saying this, the Sword-Wielding Real Person looked left and right, and with a flick of his wrist, he cast an isolation barrier around them. Only then did he speak slowly.
Seeing him so serious, Qin Sang also felt curious and listened patiently.
After a short while, Zhijian the True Person stopped speaking and looked at Qin Sang. "What do you think, Daoist friend"
Qin Sang pondered silently.
This tag should not be translated. Let me know if you have other content you'd like me to translate!
The Zhijian True Person, they were actually planning to enter the deepest part of the Niyuan Abyss, and they still intended to oppose the demons from the Ghost Realm.
"Capture a demon marquis, and you can get the qualification for promotion" Qin Sang asked in a deep voice.
“It would be best to capture him alive. The Taoist Temple will definitely reward us greatly. Even if we split the rewards, the Taoist Temple won't be stingy with a magic talisman. If we can't capture him alive, killing a demonic marquis would also be a great accomplishment. Even if your achievements alone are not enough, we will give you more of our share. If you feel uncomfortable, just come back later. We fellow cultivators should look out for each other. Both of you are not petty people,” said the sword-wielding true person with confidence, as if the demonic marquis of Ghost Fang Nation were an easy target to kill.
>
Qin Sang also understood that the depths of Yè Yuān were different from Gui Fang Guo. The four of them joining forces, with intention or without, did indeed have a good chance of success.
According to Zhijian, this time the Daoist sect discovered that the demons of the Ghost Fang Kingdom seem to be plotting something in Nie Yuan, and a demon marquis is lurking there.
To avoid alerting the enemy, the Dao court did not make a big fuss.
In Taoist sects, the Daoist master often holds a position of authority and is unlikely to act personally. It's the lesser-known mountain dwelling practitioners who are most inconspicuous, providing them with an opportunity to intervene.
But it can be certain that Dao Ting will make other arrangements.
As long as they have enough patience to wait for both sides to face each other directly, there will be an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
"Zhizhen, the Swordmaster laughed again, “If we're lucky enough to uncover the secrets of the demons, what difference would a simple talisman make Perhaps, we could even ask the Grand Master for guidance on our cultivation."
Hearing this, Qin Sang was also moved.
It is a rare opportunity to be guided by a great master!
After receiving the Five Thunder Secret Manual, he devoted himself to cultivation. Reaching the state of emptiness was no longer an unattainable dream.
However, Qin Sang was not dazzled by success.
The Oni Marquis of the Ghost Nation definitely knows the danger, and it's highly likely that he's traveling in a group. Finding a lone opponent wouldn't be easy.
This is still minor. They lurk in the shadows, patiently waiting for the right moment.
Qin Sang was worried that something big enough to attract the Dao Court's attention wouldn't be a small matter. Were only a few demon marquesses behind the Ghost Fang Kingdom's plot, or was there a demon king involved
If the Demon King were to appear, even Zhjian Zhenren's outwardly strong and inwardly weak sword strike would likely not scare him away.
The Grandmaster Zhijian saw Qin Sang's worry and changed his tone, "Fellow Daoist, in your cultivation journey so far, have you ever seen a Grandmaster of the Taoist sect make a move Have you ever heard of which Grandmaster rides mountains and heals with their magic"
"Never," Qin Sang shook his head.
He wasn't sure of the exact reason, but over the years he'd gleaned bits and pieces. Unless at war with the Ghost Nation, a Daoist Grandmaster rarely left the Twin Reigns of the Dao Temple, appearing saintly abroad.
>
"Because a great master like him would never leave his post!"
The Swordmaster Zhi Jian glanced towards the southwest. "Cultivating to the Five Symbols Law Realm, pursuing the harmony of heaven and man, one can borrow the creation of heaven and earth to supplement oneself, prolonging one's lifespan to nearly endless. With every gesture, there is the might of heaven and earth. However, precisely because of this, once a Great Master leaves their governing altar too far, the qi mechanism merging with heaven and earth cannot be concealed. Any movement will bring thunder and lightning, and frequent visions appear. The Demon King of Gui Fang Country is the same."

After a pause, Zhijian Zhenren pointed north to the infamous Niyuan, "In that case, it might be more convenient for us to act this way. Imagine, Daoist friend, once the Grand Master enters Niyuan, he will be like a beacon in the dark night, attracting all manner of ferocious beasts. Such commotion would alert us before we even get close to the demon king."
"Heaven and man as one..."
Qin Sang seemed to have a sudden realization.
Longevity concerns, Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators both exist.
Once one reaches the Yuanying realm, they have transcended the mundane and possess various methods to replenish their vital energy. Their lifespan becomes difficult to determine, as it is influenced by factors such as the cultivator's techniques, supernatural powers, cultivation experience, health preservation practices, and surrounding environment.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Even between physical cultivation, magical cultivation, and spiritual cultivation, there are certain differences.
Generally, it falls around fifteen hundred. The range can span several centuries up and down, with the process of ascension nearly doubling it.
>
But the tribulation is even more terrifying, and most don't make it through unscathed.
>
As long as you break through the Refining Void Realm, you only need to guard against Heavenly Tribulation.
It is said that the Heavenly Tribulation of Refining Emptiness occurs once every three thousand years and is a tribulation of six nines. Its power far surpasses that of the four nines tribulation, so breaking through to the Refining Emptiness state does not mean one can rest assured.
When Qin Sang learned that the key to breaking through the realm of Nascent Soul was in celestial resonance, he deduced that refining emptiness might seek the state of unity between heaven and man. Unexpectedly, this world's integration of heaven and earth had such drawbacks.
It's not surprising that Zhijian the True Man can wield a sword strike close to that of a Refining Void cultivator. He must have received a great transmission and knows these things well.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang heard this and felt a surge of curiosity about the Dao Court's ritual.
The Altar of Governance, as the core of a governance system, appears to be more than just a ceremony for bestowing official rank.
He then thought, he seemed to have never heard of where the altar of Gushanji was located.
Qin Sang considered for a moment, then asked, "How long do you plan to stay in the Netherworld"
“It’s hard to say right now, it depends on how far away that place is and what the situation is like there, but it definitely won’t be too long,” Zhijian explained.
Upon hearing this, Qin Sang secretly nodded.
In that case, he could first visit the Swordmaster. If he returned empty-handed, he would then complete the summons.
Fa Zhao didn't specify a time, so it should be quite loose.
He no longer hesitated, nodding in agreement.
Soon, the two returned to Jianxin Island. Yuhuang Zhenren and Guyun Zhenren were already waiting there.
Upon learning that Qin Sang would be traveling with them, the two looked at each other without showing any delight, but neither immediately refused.
They all know that Qin Sang is vying for a promotion.
The Ghost Bamboo Immortal turned his head to look at the Sword-Holding Immortal, “Fellow Daoist Qingfeng is still a second-rank talisman. The Guardian God General can only protect the Xuanxian realm. The influence received in the Infernal Origin is definitely far greater than ours. It's better that we persist for longer. When the time comes, let's return together”
The Lone Cloud Immortal also said, "Although Daoist Qingfeng has the True Essence Pill, there's only one, and the situation we'll face on this journey is too complex. I fear..."
The two expressed their concerns.
Before, the Sword Immortal had not revealed Qin Sang's background to them.
Qin Sang's expression remained unchanged.
"The Swordsman Zhishen laughed, “Don't worry, Master Youhuang. I happen to have a few pills that can stabilize the soul. They may not be able to completely resist the Qi of Six Heavens, but they can serve as a temporary solution."
The real person of Youhuang lightly nodded. They wouldn't stay in the Netherworld for too long, as long as they kept their spirits and wisdom, they could return and slowly recover.
Then, the True Person Zhishjian looked at the True Person Gūyún again, “You underestimate Daoist Qīngfēng. Daoist Qīngfēng is a cultivator of both Fa and Ti. When we last met, he already showed powerful strength cultivation. He has a chance to hold back two people with all his might, and at a crucial moment, we may still have to rely on Daoist Qīngfēng.”
"Double Major in Law and Philosophy"
Gūyún Zhēnrén's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Qín Sāng in astonishment.

It is rare for someone to practice both physical and mental cultivation in this world. It is even more improbable for someone who cultivates the Dragon Tiger Altar to practice both aspects as well.

Qin Sangping calmly said, "I'm lucky."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
I had previously informed Zhizhen about this, so there's no need to keep it a secret anymore. Besides, their mission is to plot against the demon Marquis, and we need to cooperate sincerely for success.
Okay!
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Zhi Jian Zhenren stopped Gu Yun Zhenren, who was eager to fight, "I know you are good at fighting, but now is not the time for sparring. Entering Nieyuan is an opportunity for battle."
As he spoke, the Sword-Wielding Immortal asked Qin Sang, "Before we depart, is there anything else Daoist Qingfeng needs to do Let's pool our resources and share our ideas. We need to be well-prepared so as not to be caught off guard."
The return wind armor has already been forged, Qin Sang actually doesn't have much he can do.
However, Qin Sang thought for a moment, "Daoist friend, do you remember the Huangzhong True Talisman I have been collecting spiritual materials everywhere, but unfortunately, I am still missing Kun Di Blood Sand and haven't received any news."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Chi Jian Zhenren looked at Gu Yun Zhenren, "I remember that Daoist Gu Yun has a piece of Kun Earth Blood Sand."
The Lone Cloud Immortal immediately took out the object, which was a fist-sized piece of blood-colored ore.
Upon closer inspection, it is made up of countless tiny crystals the size of grains of rice.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
It only takes refinement to obtain cinnabar for drawing talismans.
Qin Sang also took out the spiritual objects he had collected.
Master Zhijian looked and said, "These are enough to refine three Emperor Bell True Talismans."
Gu Yun Zhenren interjected, "This poor Dao has a friend who is proficient in talisman making. I can ask him to make talismans, and I will make up for the missing spiritual objects. If we can get two or more, how about you give me one"
>
The last sentence was addressed to Qin Sang.
"Good," Qin Sang nodded.
Every cultivator in this realm knows how to draw talismans, but the success rate varies greatly. Not everyone can become a master talisman maker.
Qin Sang estimated that if he made the talisman himself, it would be remarkable if he could even refine one.
"Awesome!"
The Immortal Lone Cloud laughed heartily, his sleeves rolled up once, and he collected all the spirits.
Next, several people discussed for a while and then left separately.
Qin Sang first returned to Pu Island and found Master Qi, asking for the return of Feng Jia. He told him that he would be leaving for a while.
Master Qi was quite reluctant to leave, he didn't know if it was because he felt sympathy for Qin Sang, or if he was unwilling to return to Fengjia.
After that, Qin Sang left the cave dwelling of Hutou Island and went into seclusion on Jianxin Island.
Unexpectedly, it was a whole year before anything happened.
Please note: The original content was missing any text between the > tags. Let me know if you have some text you'd like me to translate!
During that time, the solitary cloud true person came once and told Qin Shang Huang that only two bells of truth talismans had been refined, and just one person received one.
With no news forthcoming, the four met and speculated amongst themselves whether the Daoist court had exaggerated, that in the end it would all be a farce, leaving them all with wasted effort.
After waiting for several months, just as Qin Sang was considering whether to go to Gui Fang Guo first to inquire about the situation, news finally arrived!
The Island of Swordheart.
Qin Sang and Zhijian Zhenren stood side by side, with the old man who called himself "Old Slave" standing beside them. His cultivation was not weak, but he could not participate in this level of battle, so he could only stay behind at the cave dwelling.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two streaks of light came together, dashing to their front.
Yuhuang Zhenren landed and immediately asked, "Is it certain"
The Swordmaster nodded, "Rest assured, fellow cultivator. The source of the information is reliable! The Demon Marquis of the Ghost Fang Nation has moved out, heading in that direction. We haven't yet determined which Demon Marqises are involved, but time is of the essence; we can't afford to wait any longer."

"How long have they been gone" asked the Grandmaster Guoyun.
Please note that I have removed the > tags as instructed.
"Two days ago, but the news only just came back," said Zhishjian, his voice grave.

Since they are all top-tier experts in the world, their speed difference wouldn't be too significant. They must hurry on their journey.
"There must be more than just us, right Taking it slow isn't necessarily a bad thing," Youhuang Zhenren's expression relaxed.
"There must be others out there, everyone knows Dao Ting's tricks," Gulong Zhenren scoffed.
As they spoke, everyone got ready and headed north.
Successfully arrived at the shore of Star Island's fairy lake.
As far as the eye could see, there were vast stretches of weeds. The yellow grass was thick and sturdy, as tall as two people, looking like a dense jungle.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Upon entering the land, the four continued to soar through the air.
The grassland was vast and boundless. After galloping for a while, they finally arrived at the edge of the grassland.
It was also luck that on the way, we didn't even encounter a single ferocious beast.
The Swordmaster stood before them, his voice grave. "Ahead lie ferocious beasts. Be cautious, everyone. If you encounter a beast, strike quickly and decisively!"
He then gave Qin Sang several jade bottles, telling him how to take them.
Inside the bottle were several different kinds of pills, obviously accumulated over many years by Master Zh Jian and given all to Qin Sang.
