sighed, "The spiritual energy of the world today is thin. No spirit veins can compare to those of ancient times. Yuanshen Gate is the top sect in Xiaohan Domain, and throughout the entire Beichen Rea...As for the specific time, Qin Sang found it difficult to say.

The Turning Wheel Seal and the Demon-Crushing Seal have already merged, it didn't take long, and it didn't seem difficult.

The further one progresses, the greater the difficulty of integration will become. Qin Sang would also not neglect his own cultivation, wholeheartedly immersed in the contemplation of Buddhist scriptures.

"Fifty years, how about that" Qin Sang pondered, offering a very generous timeframe.

For cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage, fifty years is but a fleeting moment.

"Fifty years..."

Then the venerable one remained silent for a moment, and nodded slightly.

As long as the seal can be opened within a hundred years and the Buddha treasure in the tower can be obtained, it is acceptable.

He still has one hundred and fifty years before his next tribulation. That's plenty of time to digest his gains.

“This monk will wait for the esteemed one for fifty years! In fifty years, if the esteemed one is unable to break the seal, I hope they will pass this seal down to my temple.”

Then the Venerable again proposed a condition, he would offer corresponding treasures in exchange, but the Buddhist relics within the Pagoda had nothing to do with Qin Sang.

Qin Sang pondered for a moment before agreeing.

He stayed at the Jingtai Temple for several months, studying Buddhist scriptures thoroughly and constantly watching that photograph.

It was precisely from the harvest gleaned from this moment captured in the photograph that Qin Sang gained the confidence to fuse with the Buddhist seal.

On the day of parting, it was truly as if the Venerable Master personally sent Qin Sang down the mountain.

"Master, please wait."

Qin Sang bowed, mounted his escaping light, and went north.

As the venerable one saw Qin Sang off, he returned to the temple and began his busy work. The two agreed to collect as many treasures as possible that could help resist the golden light. If Qin Sang found other ways to break the seal, he would also come to help immediately.

On the way back, Qin Sang spent most of his mind immersed in "The Seven Masters' Buddha Marks." The monk's image was awe-inspiring, broadening Qin Sang's horizons. Most importantly, it pointed him in the right direction.

Upon returning to Star Island Immortal Lake, Qin Sang first went to the Pot-Shaped Island. After wandering through the city streets for a while, he arrived at a secluded courtyard in the human settlement and knocked on the door.

With a creak, an old man pushed the door open and, seeing Qin Sang, beamed with delight. "Master, you're back."

"Old Chen, your body is getting stronger and stronger," Qin Sang said with a smile as he walked into the courtyard.

The old man's face was full of gratitude. "Thanks to the master for curing my illness and giving me a place to live, I will serve the master as a cow or horse for lifetimes, it is still not enough to repay the master's kindness."

Qin Sang shook her head, "If you like this courtyard, consider it the consultation fee for your illness. Don't treat me like a workhorse."

After the old man had withdrawn, Qin Sang entered the inner hall and a quiet room.

In the quiet room, a formation was set up. If Mo Xingdao had any news, it would be transmitted through this formation. The two could only contact each other in this way. It wasn't timely, but it was discreet.

Qin Sang urged the formation, but there was no response.

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

Having soothed the old man with a few words and left him some money, he stepped out of the courtyard and went to Master Qi's house.

Since helping Qin Sang refine the Huifeng Armor, Qi Da Shi's skill in refining weapons and armor has greatly increased, and his reputation is even louder than before.

Master Qi still hasn't given up on continuing to refine the fragments of the True Treasure, but each verification requires a huge amount of resources, and there is also the risk of destroying the Huifeng Armor.

Qin Sang wasn't reluctant to return to Fengjia. He simply had more important things to do. He took out most of his resources and entrusted Qi Da Shi with collecting as many spirit flowers needed for Yin Hua Dan as possible, then handing them to Ling Xu Da Shi for refining the elixir.

This time I came to visit Master Qi, there is also one purpose, the fist of the貫氣脈 this step has been halfway through, please Master Qi have a look.

When Qin Sang first saw Master Qi, Hui Fengjia was immediately snatched away. He smiled helplessly and followed Master Qi into the fire chamber.

Ten days later, Qin Sang walked out of Qi Da Shi's residence and, through Dao Ting's channels, sent the Ling Hua to Ling Xu Da Shi's residence.

If it were a top-grade treasure, of course one wouldn't entrust it to just anyone. The Dao Court surely wouldn't stoop to coveting these spirit flowers.

After finishing his errands, Qin Sang continued to return to Jianxin Island for quiet contemplation.

Time flies.

> Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Qin Sang held the Chéngyǐng Sword in both hands, a contemplative look on his face.

After a moment's deliberation, he sheathed his sword and walked out of the cave, deciding to ask the Swordmaster to examine the blade.

Over the past three years, Qin Sang has constantly tried various methods to probe this sword, but it remained unresponsive.

Here is the translation of your text:

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

Even if Qin Sang continuously made breakthroughs in his forging skills, he wouldn't surpass the Point Mountain Sect Master by much and couldn't figure out the true nature of this sword. He could only seek advice from renowned sword masters.

Besides, he was not prepared to waste any more time on the Shadow Sword.

He has a lot to do, cultivation comes first.

Because his divine consciousness is limited, Qin Sang doesn't know when he will be able to refine the Qilin seed. If he wants to maintain his combat strength, he must continuously improve his cultivation level and cultivate both body and spirit.

The main cultivation is 《Yuanshen Yangjian Chapter》, and the auxiliary is 《Tian Yao Lianxing》. It requires double the cultivation time.

Furthermore, comprehending the "Seven Masters of Buddha Imprint," crafting boxing gloves, and raising blood-feeding celestial eye butterflies all require a significant expenditure of energy.

The sword slave diligently guarded outside the cave of Master Jianjian, apparently having been instructed beforehand about Qin Sang's intentions. Upon sensing Qin Sang's approach, he immediately triggered the formation ban.

"Come on in and talk, little brother."

A voice rang out from within the cave dwelling, it was that of the sword-wielding true person. The door swung open on its own.

The sword slave respectfully retreated to the side.

Qin Sang entered the cave abode of the Swordmaster for the first time, curiously scanning it with his eyes.

The cave dwelling arranged for Qin Sang by the Sword-Wielding True Person was carefully decorated, but his own abode was rather rudimentary.

There was only one person, a cushion, and an incense burner in the hall.

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

On the incense burner, there was an incense burner and a sword offering!

Qin Sang couldn't help but take two more glances. The sword was very peculiar, hanging upside down above the incense burner.

He had only ever seen offerings of ancestral tablets and statues in the Taoist temple. This was the first time he saw someone offering a sword.

This sword has no scabbard, and its entire length is wrapped in white cloth, including the hilt. Its true form cannot be seen.

Qin Sang could see that this was no ordinary white cloth. It was inscribed with talismans, the purpose of which was unknown.

I had never seen Zhijian the Swordmaster use this sword before.

Please note that I've kept the HTML tags as you requested.

Qin Sang's heart was filled with doubt. He looked at the Sword-Holding Zhenren who had his back turned to him, and his expression changed instantly, "Dao brother you…"

He blushed with shame, "I shouldn't have come."

At this moment, the aura of True Person Zhishjian was extremely powerful, yet there were subtle fluctuations. Such a display only occurs when one is near a breakthrough.

>

In just a few years, Zhijian Zhenren was about to break through to the middle stage of Huashen.

He came at the wrong time.

"It's alright," Zhijian Zhenren calmly retracted his power, saying serenely, "Breaking through at this moment was truly a struggle. I was almost overwhelmed by the surge of energy. Brother arriving just in time helped me regain my composure."

Whether or not the words of Sword-wielding Immortal are true, Qin Sang felt guilty and hesitated. He didn't want to bother Sword-wielding Immortal any further.

The True Man of the Sword rose, turned and said: "Every word I spoke is true, younger brother, there's no need to be upset. If you have anything you wish to discuss, please speak freely."

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

With a light sigh, Qin Sang nodded and took out the Chengying Sword. "I unexpectedly obtained this sword and don't know its origins. I originally wanted to ask Daoist brother for guidance, but…"

Saying that, Qin Sang directly handed the Chengying Sword over.

The Swordmaster, upon receiving the blade, gazed at it for a moment. A soft exclamation escaped his lips, followed by a fingertip tracing lightly across its surface.

With a clang, a sword sang, echoing through the cavern.

Qin Sang's eyes froze, the Chengying Sword in his hand making a sound that was clearer and sharper than ever before.

The Swordmaster Zhijian flipped his sword and with a light wave, drew out two swords. He let out a satisfied hum, his eyes shining with delight as he exclaimed, "There really are such remarkable swords in the world!"

With a gentle touch, Zhijian touched the sword's edge. As he practiced, he imparted to Qin Sang, "I remember, younger brother, you wielded a sword in Niyuan as well. Your swordsmanship was impressive. You should understand the way of the sword."

Qin Sang fell silent, glancing at the Chengying Sword in the hands of the sword-wielding Immortal. He truly couldn't claim to know anything about the sword way.

Master Zhijian, holding his sword, didn't care if Qin Sang responded or not. He stared at the Chéngyǐng Sword, his eyes shining with a strange light as he murmured to himself.

> What is kendo

“I cultivate the purest sword intent, using sword intent to nourish my sword. No matter if I choose a killing sword, an illusionary sword, a transforming sword, or an ultimate sword, my heart is solely focused on the sword. My sword heart shines brightly, pure and refined.”

“Some people believe that a swordsman who is extreme in heart, is the true sword cultivator, and consider it orthodox. All others are considered inferior.”

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

Qin Sang nodded. He agreed with this point of view.

He was able to recognize himself, that he couldn't be a true sword cultivator.

The "Soul God Sword Cultivation Chapter" was undoubtedly the top-tier sword technique of the Killing Sword Lineage, yet he always viewed it as a tool, placing more importance on talismans that accelerated his cultivation speed.

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

Looking back on his journey of cultivation, he was distracted too much by ghosts, corpses, demons, insects, fire, poison, incarnations, Buddhism, Taoism, and demons.

This is what you asked for:

He had never even once, relied solely on his swordsmanship to break through to a higher realm.

As long as it can help him, improve his abilities, and help him break through, he will use it without hesitation.

Amongst the old acquaintances, Qingzhu senior is considered a sword cultivator, Shangguan Lifeng abandoned his blade to take up the sword. If he could understand the "Qingzhu Sword Scripture," perhaps he could be considered half one.

In Qin Sang's eyes, the sword-wielding real person before him was also considered quite a figure.

Unexpectedly, the Sword Master shook his head gently.

“This swordsmanship lies in the purity of the word, but are those who practice the sword not also swordsmen”

They are unable to walk the path of pure sword intent, either due to insufficient talent, lack of heart, or various external factors.

In this world, there are ways of the sword, such as the path of the talisman sword and the path of ten thousand swords. Some focus on sword formations, while others prioritize techniques over principles. Some are devoted to seeking out worldly treasures and forging the strongest sword without caring about sword intent.

Or cultivate sword intent, but rely on external forces.

Is their path of swordsmanship, forging a unique way, truly inferior to the pure and refined path of sword intent

"As I see it, all paths lead to the same destination, though they may diverge in their methods. There is no superiority or inferiority among them."

>

However, what people remember are those breathtaking sword techniques that soared through the heavens. Even facing a thousand hardships and ten thousand dangers, they would cleave through them with a single strike of their sword.

And I have yet to see anyone who has brought other paths to their ultimate fruition.

Master Zhijian seemed to be simply expressing his thoughts on the sword path, sharing his understanding without expecting Qin Sang's reply. He pointed to the Chényǐng Sword, "This sword is a kind of 'external object' that can help one attain sword intent."

Qin Sang was still pondering the words of the Sword-wielding Immortal, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but carefully examine the Chéngyǐng Sword.

“It is rumored that there is a swordsmanship technique, which must be performed by a top-tier swordsman. During the refining process, one integrates their own sword intent, ultimately forming a special sword weapon,” continued Master Zhijian.

“How should I use this sword” Qin Sang wondered, he didn't feel the sword intent within the Chengying Sword.

"This weapon cannot be used alone, but can be refined. During the refining process, it relies on its own spiritual sword. After refining, not only can the power of the spiritual sword be enhanced, but a sword shadow can also be split off. It is said that the sword shadow can also possess several times the power of the spiritual sword, and because it is invisible, it comes as a surprise attack, leaving the enemy completely unprepared for its existence."

"The sword's true power comes from inheriting the intentions of past masters. It's far easier to grasp this through a sword than to cultivate it yourself. However, such an inheritance is vastly different from teaching sword scriptures. It leaves a lasting imprint of that sword intent on your heart, difficult to erase. This makes it best suited for passing down within the same sect, hence the name 'inheritance sword.' If not for my pursuit of pure sword intent, free from any interference, I would certainly have asked my younger brother for this sword."

He repeatedly sighed in regret.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

This kind of sword is indeed very precious, a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity. Those who can forge and pass down such swords are without exception top-tier sword cultivators.

Upon hearing this, Qin Sang also frowned and fell into deep thought.

Listening to the True Person of Zhishjian’s words, it seems that the Chengying Sword is not simply integrated with the Lingjian. I wonder if it can be used on the Yunyou Sword. If it doesn't work, I can only choose the Grey Sparrow Sword.

As for the inheritance of sword intent, Qin Sang was very moved. But The Yuan Shen Yang Jian Chapter is his fundamental cultivation technique. If he rashly obtains the sword intent inheritance from others, will it shake his own path

Seeing the expert right before him, Qin Sang immediately asked the doubts that had been troubling his heart.

Upon learning that Qin Sang's fundamental martial art was a swordsmanship technique, Zhi Jian Zhenren's eyes held a hint of strangeness. After all, Qin Sang had previously displayed formidable cultivation in both strength and poison arts.

Other sword cultivators might not cultivate sword intent, but at least they still use swords.

Zhi Jian Zhen Ren pondered, "My younger brother is different from us. If he doesn't pursue the most refined and pure sword intent, he can accept the inheritance and surely benefit greatly, but it's best not to accept everything completely. How to grasp the 'degree' within it needs to be measured by my younger brother himself. But doing so would be a waste of potential."

"Speaking of which, the Swordmaster looked regretful. The sword's lineage could only be passed down to one person. Qin Sang received a portion, and the rest of its sword intent would dissipate."

If the descendant of the person who forged the Shadow-Bearing Sword were to obtain this sword, perhaps they could cultivate into a top-tier swordsman.

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

Qin Sang didn't have such thoughts. The Chéngyǐng Sword came from the Immortal Palace. The person who forged it probably had long turned to dust, and no one knew where his descendants were.

Thinking about this, Qin Sang's heart suddenly moved.

The "Yuanshen Yangjian Zhang" and the Chengying Sword both originated from Xiandeng. Could there be a connection between these two lineages

The thought flashed in his mind, Qin Sang wanted to try even more.

"Are you sure you want to accept the Sword Intent Inheritance, younger brother" asked Zhjian Zhenren.

Qin Sang nodded without hesitation, "Please teach me, brother."

"Inheriting a sword typically involves a special seal that imprisons the sword intent, preventing it from being recognized by outsiders. One must first locate this seal and then assess its strength..."

>

Master Zhijian personally taught Qin Sang the method of refining and inheriting swords.

Qin Sang carefully jotted it down, a thought flickering in his mind. The Shadow-Conjuring Sword had been hidden for countless years, and with the passage of time, the seal might have weakened considerably.

Having received guidance from the Sword-wielding True Person, Qin Sang bowed in thanks and did not immediately leave. He pointed to outside the cave dwelling, "I will protect my fellow Daoist."

Master Zhijian's breakthrough is imminent, he must not be disturbed any longer.

Chi Jian Zhenren didn't refuse, nodding with a smile, "In the future, if you have any questions about swordsmanship, feel free to come to your elder brother. Although I am not talented, I can also bring some enlightenment to my younger brother. My help is not in vain, after you understand the inheritance, I want to spar with you."

“It’s more than just inspiration, I only hope that Daoist brother won’t find it troublesome in the future,” Qin Sang secretly sighed, making friends with the sword wielding real person was indeed a brilliant move.

After the late Master Qingzhu, he finally met another renowned sword master.
