fire to refine my soul, and achieve the effect of rebirth from ashes. As for whether I will ultimately be a phoenix reborn or turn into ashes, it depends on this old Taoist's luck."This is a placehold..."Thank you, Master Yuan."

Qin Sang had just learned that the old Taoist's real name was Yuan Yanchu.

These jade slips contain the teachings of Chongxuan Guan. The most important one is a book called "Chongxuan Ce".

Qin Sang's divine consciousness entered the "Heavy Xuan Book", immersing his mind, and from time to time he could hear Yuan Zhenren's voice in his ears.

Yuan Zhenren was expounding the Dao to him.

Here is the text translated to English:

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

The

Chongxuan Ce is not written in normal characters, but is composed of a series of very complex glyphs.

The symbols in the diagram are vast and varied. Even for cultivators with a somewhat weaker understanding of talismanry, it might be difficult to recognize all the runes.

Qin Sang, in his pursuit of refining talismans, had previously studied the principles of talismanry but still had many unclear points. After receiving guidance from Yuan Zhenren, he finally gained clarity.

After reading the entire "Heavy Xuan Book," Qin Sang understood why Yuan Zhenren chose this lineage.

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

The Taoist tradition places great emphasis on talismanry, and the Daoist path of alchemy is inextricably linked to talismanic practices. It can even be said that it developed and relied on talismanic arts.

Qin Sang once watched Master Gu refine a weapon. The most important step in her refining process was applying talismans. Before starting the furnace, she would also prepare various spiritual talismans beforehand, and the preparation time was even longer than the refining time.

A myriad of amulets are available, with meticulous consideration given to the timing and combinations used by practitioners.

《Re-xuan Ce》 is different. It focuses more on the essence of spiritual materials, attempting to stack as many high-grade materials as possible and harmonize their compatibility to achieve extraordinary power. In Qin Sang's view, it's actually a bit crude.

Of course, the "Chong Xuan Ce" also has corresponding talismans, but they are not as complicated as the refining techniques in the orthodox Taoist traditions. Qin Sang would not find them too difficult to learn.

This inherited skill has one requirement: the refiner must be able to precisely grasp the characteristics of spiritual materials, otherwise it is simply an ineffective pile-up, and may even cause conflict. Qin Sang was quite talented in this aspect, Master Gu had once praised him for his sensitive spiritual awareness.

Qin Sang cared most about the Spirit Raising Technique for refining spiritual treasures, and in the Zhen Xuan Ce, there was also a transmission of one, which turned out to be a blood sacrifice technique.

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

Blood sacrifice refining, seemingly a sorcery, is actually a type of orthodox refining technique.

>

However,

The Chongxuan Ce appears more unrestrained.

Through blood sacrifice ‘feeding’ the spirit fetus, one will greatly deplete their own essence.

Qin Sang suspected that the disciples of Chongxuan Guan practiced all Dragon and Tiger Fist techniques, otherwise they would probably become withered with only a few uses.

Compared to Gu Daoshi, Chongxuan Guan gave Qin Sang the impression of a group of men who tied their robes around their waists, took off their shirts, revealing their muscles, and constantly swung hammers to forge iron.

Qin Sang had to admit that Yuan Zhenren had a sharp eye; this lineage was indeed very suitable for him.

There it is!

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

Qin Sang put away the jade slip and thanked him again, "I wonder if there are any disciples of Chongxuan Guan in the world today"

Yuan Zhenren stroked his beard and said: “The lineage of Chongxuan Guan has been broken, from now on you will be the only successor of Chongxuan Guan, but you don't have to be bound by this. If you are willing, you can accept three or two disciples and carry on the Daoist tradition, it would also be considered your fate with Chongxuan Guan.”

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

When saying these words, Yuan Zhenren's tone was not very fluctuating.

Since the decline of the Taoist tradition, even the Dao Court has fallen into disarray. Countless Taoist sects have been severed from their lineages, and many have lost their ancestral texts, leaving only a cold and impersonal record in historical texts.

Qin Sang suddenly felt the jade slip in his hand was unusually heavy.

"According to Master Gu, this battle drum has been in her hands for many years. Later, she recorded her understanding of the battle drum in a book and gave it all to you. Over these years, have you gained any insights When do you plan to start the furnace" Yuan Zhenren asked.

Qin Sang heard the implication and said without hesitation, "As a junior with limited cultivation, seeing the Book made me realize my own shortcomings. I want to wait until I have made some progress before making a move. During this time, I cannot be distracted and it is inconvenient to carry the war drum with me. Please, Master Yuan, keep it for me."

Seeing Qin Sang's understanding, Yuan Zhenren smiled slightly and nodded. "Rest assured, Xun Zhenren's words are golden. When the war drum is restored, he will definitely wait for you to take action yourself. For now, the situation will continue to drag on, and this poor Dao also needs to study it carefully for a while. You don't have to be impatient..."

After some thought, Yuan Zhenren said again: "This poor Dao rearranges the great formation and sorts out the earth veins' flames every seven years. You can come during this time. Now, I will explain the essentials of the 重玄冊 to you!"

Qin Sang immediately straightened his clothes and sat upright before Yuan Zhenren.

Soon after, Qin Sang left the imperial court alone and stayed at Master Gu's residence for several days before setting off on his return journey.

Kenxin Island.

Qin Sang returned to his cave abode and immediately entered meditation, recreating the sword light of the Swordmaster in his mind.

What a brilliant and mysterious sword!

Qin Sang was amazed, feeling that by observing this sword strike, his own kendo had been touched, and there was a hint of breakthrough.

However, he couldn't fully immerse himself in kendo. Soon, he returned to his usual practice.

Over the next period, Qin Sang mainly focused his energy on cultivating the "Yuanshen Yangjian Chapter," but he didn't stay in seclusion all the time.

He occasionally goes out, firstly to borrow Master Qi's fire room to study the Book of Heavy Mysteries, and secondly to exchange the pills he obtained from the Spirit Ghost King for what he needs for his cultivation.

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!

Of these elixirs, Qin Sang kept those that he could use, mostly for tempering his body.

The remaining part is only useful for demon cultivators. Even though Qin Sang has demon marquises under his command, he will definitely prioritize improving himself.

Within the Taoist sect, those who cultivate soldiers and horses are either immortals from the Dao court or true disciples of a major sect. Each one is very wealthy, with no shortage of buyers for their pills.

Unconsciously, another twenty-five years have passed on Jianxin Island.

This day.

Qin Sang instructed Jian Nu not to disturb him and closed the cave's prohibition.

Here is the translation:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Over the past ten days.

The sword slave sat cross-legged on a rock at the summit, he heard Qin Sang's instructions were unusual and remained outside.

Suddenly, Jian Nu opened his eyes while meditating, his eyes gleaming brightly as he looked towards Qin Sang's cave.

A faint pressure emanated from the cave dwelling, causing the surrounding celestial energy to appear strange and gradually spreading throughout Swordheart Island and even the waters beyond.

Could it be...

The sword slave realized something, his face full of surprise, both joy and envy. He immediately flew into the air.

Currently, only Zhijian Zhenren and two demon marquises are protecting Qin Sang.

Luo Hou and Gui Hou stood guard, one on each side of the cave dwelling.

The situation was unstable, Jian Nu dared not slack off. A flash of light appeared in her palm as she presented a token and activated the island-protecting formation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ken's Island trembled slightly, and light beams shot out from all four sides of the island.

The four beams of light weren't imposing, only a hundred meters tall. Following the pillars of light, a semicircular light shield materialized, enveloping the entire island.

The surface of the light shield crackled with electricity, poised to unleash its power, giving off an aura of extreme danger.

With the formation deployed, Jian Nu's expression relaxed slightly.

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

The grand formation couldn't conceal the celestial anomaly. Above Kenxin Island, the heavenly energy was turbulent, already taking the shape of a storm, and the sky itself had become chaotic.

Dark clouds gathered out of nowhere and condensed in the sky.

The visions grew increasingly intense, and Jiannu began to scan the surrounding islands with some unease.

Now the Neihu District is densely populated, and there's always a chance that a high cultivator might pass through here, attracted by the unusual sights.

Heavenly phenomena change very rapidly.

Ken's Island, within a radius of a hundred miles, became dim and a fierce wind arose. It seemed that cultivators had been disturbed. The Sword Slave sensed an approaching presence and nervously tightened his grip on the token in his hand.

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

... rumbles ...

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

Dark clouds roiled, and heaven thundered.

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

The sword slave's face was shocked. He knew this was not a heavenly tribulation, but a celestial phenomenon caused by the breakthrough, which seemed to carry the might of heaven itself.

"Whew! Whew! Whew!"

Above the Qinsang Cave, heaven and earth's vital energy formed a visible spiritual tide, surging and powerful.

At this time, two rays of light came flying from afar and inquired: "Sword Slave Daoist, did something dangerous happen to your island"

"Hold, fellow cultivator!"

The sword slave roared, his token flashing, a beam of light rising from it, manifesting a luminous blade pointed menacingly at the oncoming person, issuing a warning.

The newcomers retracted their escaping lights and met each other's gazes. Through celestial phenomena, they had a vague guess, but now seeing Jiannu's performance, it was confirmed.

"Master Zhijian broke through to the middle stage of Dong Xuan, it seems less than a hundred years ago Unexpectedly, there's another breakthrough. Could he one day achieve the status of Great Immortal It's a pity that Master Zhijian is solitary and doesn't like making friends. I have visited several times but haven't had the chance to meet him. It would be nice to forge a good relationship."

“The one who is breaking through may not be him...”

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

Above Ken Shin Island, a loud clap of thunder echoed, interrupting the two people's conversation.

The spiritual storm seemed to have found a vent, madly surging toward Jianxin Island.

Both of them trembled slightly, their faces full of shock, and murmured, "Did we do it"

Before the words could even finish, a powerful and overwhelming aura erupted from Jianxin Island, but it retracted instantly.

The dark clouds dispersed.

The world gradually returned to normal.

"This... was it a failure or a success"

The two were confused, yet dared not ask, fearing retribution.

Inside the cave dwelling.

Qin Sang slowly opened his eyes, sensing the surging true energy within him, a smile appeared on his face.

Finally entered the late stage of transformation into a god!

He wasn't that surprised, as it was all expected.

Qin Sang was extremely confident in this breakthrough, so he didn't choose a special location and directly crossed the tribulation on Jianxin Island.

The feeling of killing, gained from fighting against the Marquis of Dingxiang and slaying the Spirit Phantom King, combined with medicinal pills acquired in exchange for the Spirit Phantom King's relics, plus the "Poison God Scripture" and poisonous fruit sap, all these advantageous conditions allowed him to achieve such astonishing progress in a short period of time.

If I hadn't devoted a significant amount of energy to studying the "Secret Manual of Heavy Xuan" during this period, I would have progressed even faster!

>

Qin Sang cast a sidelong glance and saw the jade bottle floating beside him. He picked it up and shook it in his hand.

The jade bottle held the viscous liquid of poison fruit, now reduced to a thin layer. If Hua Ling couldn't produce flower dew soon, he would run out of medicine.

“Whoosh!”

Lightning illuminates the cave, and the talismans platform appears!

Qin Sang stared at the talisman altar, sensing the azure phoenix true thunder within. The power of the tortoise demon pill had already been exhausted, and from now on, he would need to use the azure phoenix true thunder to forge the altar.

After these few times, Qin Sang became increasingly proficient and it would no longer be an obstacle on his path of cultivation.

The Azure Phoenix's true lightning within the Pheonix Wings was more than enough to sustain him until the peak of the Divine Transformation stage. As for how long it could last after reaching the Realm of Refinement, that was beyond his comprehension.

Sensing the guardian deity presiding over the altar, Qin Sang couldn't help but furrow his brows.

He has always had a worry. His guardian deity is the inner truth of Sijiu, not a celestial being from the Thunder Department.

Now, it's still possible to explain with a determined and sincere heart. When he begins to attack the Profound Void Realm, if he still can't identify which deity it is and cannot find a suitable reason, suspicion will inevitably arise.

"I only wish there would be a turning point in this storm of illusions, or that the Jade Buddha could continue to protect me..."

Qin Sang couldn't think of any other way for a while, he could only take it one step at a time. He didn't want to change talismans unless absolutely necessary.

Although the integrated Qingluan True Thunder is not enough yet, Qin Sang has already felt the changes brought by Qingluan True Thunder, and it might bring him a big surprise in the future!

>

How powerful would it be if the Divine Thunder Seal, forged from the power of Azure Phoenix True Lightning, was used to cast lightning spells

Qin Sang put away the talisman altar and once again activated the Heavenly Demon Forging Form incantation, summoning the Azure Phoenix dharma form.

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

These years, I haven't cultivated this technique, but after taking the elixir from Ling You Wang, my cultivation has still increased considerably.

>

Qin Sang closed his eyes again, connecting his mind with his primordial essence, experiencing the inner workings of Heaven and Earth.

After a moment, the head of the Qingluan Dharma form suddenly moved, lowering its head to look at Qin Sang. Its originally dull expression was now imbued with a hint of life.

Since Zuo Zhenren pointed out the way of inner and outer scenes to Qin Sang, Qin Sang had a deeper understanding of Fa Xiang.

At this moment, he is sensing the Celestial Crane dharma form through his inner world. Perhaps one day, he will be able to increase his power greatly like the demon king who cut off his cultivation, using the power of the dharma form!

It's easy to say, but hard to do. Even comprehending the Dharma Form is incredibly difficult for other demon kings.

Qin Sang first had the appearance of Qingluan before enlightenment, it was smoother than expected, but he quickly exhausted his mental energy and felt exhausted when he finished.

Next, comprehending the Dharma Form and balancing the Five Elements are essential practices. However, the sap of the poisonous fruit is dwindling, and flower dew is scarce, making it impossible to proceed as smoothly as before.

After adjusting his breath, Qin Sang opened the cave dwelling and saw Jiannu guarding outside.

Congratulations! You are one step closer to achieving great enlightenment.

Qin Sang smiled and said, "Thank you for protecting me... Have all the spirit creatures that you collected for me been gathered"

The Sword Slave said: "Most of them are promising, and nearly half are in hand."

This is a tricky one! It looks like you're asking to translate the content within triple angle brackets, but those brackets themselves aren't part of the translation. You also want me to keep the HTML tags as they are. Could you please provide the actual text content you'd like translated I need to see what's inside the > before I can help! Let me know, and I'll be happy to translate it for you.

Qin Sang nodded and gave Jian Nu a jade slip. The jade slip contained the methods for refining Tian Linglong and high-grade spirit calming incense.

"This..."

The sword slave was both surprised and delighted, "How dare this old servant accept such a grand gift from the real person!"

Qin Sang comforted him: "Isn't it enough for Daoist friend to protect me I also want Daoist friend to help me with one thing. Of the listed spiritual objects, you keep what you need, and the rest is yours to take as much as you want. If you need anything, just come to me."

These spirits are rare and hard to find in the Storm Realm, but they occasionally appear in this realm. He is also paying attention to them himself.

"The old slave obeys!"

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

The sword slave carefully put away the jade slip.

Qin Sang looked up and down at Jian Nu, voicing his confusion, "In my opinion, Daoist friend already has the ability to strike through the profound mysteries. The probability of success should be quite high. Why not try it sooner"

The sword slave replied respectfully, "Master ordered the old servant to continue honing his sword intent. It seems the old servant's accumulation is still insufficient."

"I see, thick accumulation and thin hair. I'll wait for my friend to step into the profound mystery before making a breakthrough!"

Qin Sang suddenly understood. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he mounted his escape light and flew towards the island of Hu Di.

Over the past many years, Qin Sang has gone to Bai Shi several times to ask Yuan Zhenren for advice on repairing the war drum, but he has never been able to start the furnace.

Dao Ting didn't urge him, and he was happy to delay. The higher his cultivation, the more beneficial it was to refining tools.

"It's time to start the forge, and before that, let's refine the Ming Shan armor..."

Qin Sang pondered, entering the Qi Residence and ordering a disciple of Master Qi to open the hearth.

Now we officially enter the concluding stage of this volume.
