Chapter 2019: Crimson Dress

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

At first, when invited by Yue Xian Gu, he brought Su Nu back. At that time, he was reluctant to meddle in other people's affairs and chose to ignore Su Nu's little actions. Later, they met again at the Seven Killers Hall. Su Nu gave him the Ghost Seal and asked for his help. In fact, there was hardly any communication, more like a transaction.

Both occasions had elements of fate, and they later shared a common peril during the Sealing Demon War. However, the Su Nü has already been possessed by an ancient demon, and her whereabouts are unknown.

Although they were separated by the vast world, the two met again and both achieved remarkable heights. It is truly a testament to the unpredictable nature of life.

“A beautiful woman…”

The maiden called him Brother Qin, and Qin Sang no longer wished to call him Daoist friend. He simply addressed him by his name.

After a moment's pause, Qin Sang asked, "What kind of impression did the lower realm leave on you"

Since the heroine proactively revealed her scar and brought up what happened back then, Qin Sang took the opportunity to ask about the heroine's perception of the mortal realm.

Before the Demon Sealing War, Su Nu had gone through untold hardships. Although the Demon Lord was the mastermind behind it all, the three major business alliances of Canglang Sea and Yue Xian Gu were also accomplices.

If the fairy held resentment towards the mortal realm, Qin Sang wouldn't be surprised.

This is an example.

"The Lower Realm Are you referring to Canglang Sea, Qin Brother"

The maiden's thoughts were quick, and she immediately understood Qin Sang's meaning. She sighed softly, her voice low and mournful, "To be honest with you, brother Qin, until I entered the Qisha Hall and learned the truth, my heart was filled with resentment. I secretly vowed that once I escaped their clutches and gained the power to avenge myself, I would slaughter all three major trading alliances. I even believed that there wasn't a single good person in Canglang Sea, or even the entire world, who didn't owe me. I felt that only 'killing' could vent my anger! Until I met you, brother Qin..."

“Qin brother didn't treat me as a soul slave, he took the initiative to destroy the ghost mark and entrusted me to the Four Sacred Palaces. In the Four Sacred Palaces, the Bao siblings were not bad to me either. They healed my injuries and let me cultivate in the Four Sacred Palaces. Although I am not a disciple of the Four Sacred Palaces, they treat everyone equally. I can get courtyards, pills, magic treasures, etc., just like other disciples through hard work... I finally understand what it's like to be a normal cultivator, and know that the world is not all dark. The resentment in my heart gradually dissipated, and I broke through the Nascent Soul stage...”

The beauty looked back on the past, her eyes soft. Even after a thousand years, her memories were vivid and clear, each detail as fresh as ever.

>

Before and after the War Against Demons, her circumstances underwent a radical change. She emerged from the darkness where she could see no glimmer of light, welcomed by sunshine and warmth. This was the most important turning point in her life; how could she ever forget it

Seeing the woman's expression, Qin Sang nodded secretly. It seemed that the resentment in this woman's heart had dissipated, and she had no more grudges.

>

Telling her about the ascension to the Storm Realm might persuade her to accompany him to the Mist Sea and support him. Even if he were exposed and forced to flee, she could take Gu Ya back and care for the Storm Realm.

After all, it was just a recent reunion. Qin Sang didn't bring it up right away. People's hearts are unpredictable, and she needed to observe further.

The maiden was unaware of Qin Sang's thoughts. She let out a soft sigh, pulling her mind away from the memories. With a touch of curiosity, she asked, "Before Brother Qin ascended, you must have traveled all over the mortal realm, right I wonder, how many places like Canglang Sea and Demon Sea are there in the lower realms Where is Brother Qin from"

Initially, she hadn't even mastered the ability to leave Canglang Sea when she was brought to the Vast World by Qisha Hall.

“As far as I know, Canglang Sea and Yao Hai are very close, almost the same sea area. There is also Beihai, which is mostly land in Xitu. The largest and most powerful Zhongzhou is located at one end of a vast continent with Xitu, and the path to ascension is located within Guihu…”

Qin Sang briefly described the Storm Realm.

>

Back then, Qin Sang was also curious if there were any other large shelters in the Storm Realm. He asked Gu Ya and learned that there were indeed only Beihai, Zhongzhou, Xitu, Canglang Sea, and Yaohai. Did this mean that Jiange was left with only five

The fair maiden was somewhat surprised and said, "North Sea and Canglang Sea are actually so far apart! And there's the Tempestous Sky Rift... how did Brother Qin cross it back then Could it be..."

"That's right, Ziwu Palace is located in Beichen Realm, one of the four realms of Beihai. The connection between Ziwu Palace and Qisha Hall is direct," Qin Sang nodded.

"No wonder..."

"The maiden whispered, thankfully saying, 'Brother Qin also received the news of the birth from Ziwei Palace and came over, right Thankfully there's Jian Ge, otherwise little sister wouldn't know when she could thank Brother Qin in person.'"

Qin Sang thought Su Nu was right. Since he arrived, he had received many good news. "The Jian Ge in Xitu has never been discovered and its name is unknown. There are two Jian Ges, Tian Xiang and Tian Tong, in Zhongzhou. Unfortunately, I haven't been inside either. However, I have entered Ziwu Palace three times and also browsed some classics in the Zhongzhou sects. And you understand Qisha Dian, if we join forces to explore the Jian Ge fragments, there might be unexpected gains."

“My sister just thought of that!”

The beautiful woman smiled, "There are a few places where my younger sister can only look but not enter, they must be the sword pavilions that Brother Qin mentioned. This time, traveling with Brother Qin, we will definitely loot all the treasures inside!"

Qin Sang smiled, neither confirming nor denying. His true goal wasn't the treasures of Jian Ge, but if he had the chance, he wouldn't mind taking a detour.

And there's one more thing...

Qin Sang urged a wisp of true essence, transforming it into a picture between the two. It was a mountain peak filled with mysterious aura.

>

The Heavenly Mountain of the Ziwei Palace!

Liuli's master, Bing Yao, is the one trapped in Tianshan Mountain and ascended to Ziwei Palace together.

>

He had promised Lu Li to help her find a master. When they were at Yumenguan and when he interacted with Qu Zhen, he specifically inquired about news related to Tianshan, but found nothing. News that could reach Yumenguan was not a secret, and Qu Zhen and others were limited by their cultivation and dared not delve too deeply. It seemed that Su Nü had been in Fengju Yumenguan for many years and must know more about the hidden Sword Pavilion fragments.

Seeing Qin Sang's solemn expression, Su Nu stared at the picture for a long time before shaking her head gently. "I've never seen such a mountain! However, the Jiange fragments were ravaged by void storms during their ascension, leaving them in ruins. There are many fractured and collapsed immortal mountains. I'll take Brother Qin to look around. We might be able to find one."

"That's fine."

Qin Sang retracted his true essence, thinking to himself that if Tianshan was the core location of Ziwei Palace, it might still be connected to Ziwei Palace and sealed. He wondered if Bing Yao had seized the opportunity to escape.

At this point, Qin Sang remembered Qu Zhen and said, "I didn't come here just for the Jian Ge fragments. I also hired a few helpers. One is waiting outside. Let me let him take action first."

Qin Sang dodged out, found Qu Zhen, and led him to a safe area, ordering him to join the others.

A veiled woman secretly followed behind. After he had left, she reappeared and said, "Brother Qin, I have selected a few fragments from those Sword Pavilion pieces. Perhaps we should go to those places and look for them"

"Great!"

As they spoke, the two immediately set off.

The maiden also possessed cultivation at the early stage of refining emptiness. She didn't need Qin Sang to take care of her, and the two moved swiftly, delving deeper and deeper. After a series of twists and turns, they arrived at the first fragment of the Sword Pavilion.

>

>>

Even with Qin Sang and Su Nü teaming up, they didn't dare to be careless. They carefully observed for a while before quietly approaching the Jian Ge fragments.

In the very center of the Jian Ge fragments, there is a collapsed mountain peak that has become a jumble of rubble. The surrounding area is in ruins, but one can sense the presence of a mysterious great formation, its power still lingering.

“Brother Qin, have you ever been here before” the fairy asked expectantly.

Qin Sang observed intently for a while, then slowly shook his head. This was not any place he remembered. He couldn't be sure if it came from the Purple Micro Palace or another Jian Ge.

This is normal, he went through the Purple Micro Palace three times, just skimming the surface. Even strong cultivators like those at the Eight Scenes Garden and Ganlu Chan Monastery only explored a small portion of the Tiantong Tianshu Hall.

The two didn't stay long before moving on to the next fragment. They visited several more that were unrelated to Mount Tian Shan.

They are not only searching for Mount Tian Shan, but also for suitable Jian Ge fragments to explore.

These Jiange fragments, some are in prominent locations and have been visited by many people, leaving little chance of finding opportunities. Others are rarely visited and must be extremely dangerous, requiring careful consideration. They plan to walk through all of them, analyze the situation afterwards before taking action.

Two acquaintances separated by a millennium gradually shed their initial strangeness as they journeyed together, making the experiences of a thousand years ago even more precious.

"The last fragment, it resembles the place described in the Eight Scenic Views. Perhaps we should..."

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

Qin Sang was just chatting with the Nuwa about the previous fragments when they arrived at the next one. Seeing the scene in the fragment, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and his expression changed instantly.

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

The virgin girl, seeing Qin Sang's expression, looked forward in surprise. "Is this the place that Brother Qin is looking for"

All that lay before them was a vast expanse of land, almost reduced to rubble. At the edge of this wasteland stood a broken mountain range. It must have been magnificent in its prime, but now only fragments of its base remained, the rest of the peaks completely vanished, as if obliterated by an immense force.

'Whoosh!'

Qin Sang fell in front of Duanshan.

That year, Liuli held back Dongyang Bo and gave him an escape route. He escaped down the mountain alone. Even thinking about that experience now still sends shivers down his spine. Although he was completely different now, Qin Sang could still tell, this was Tianshan!

The ruins of Tianshan!

Northern Star Realm cultivators thought Mount Tianshan was mysterious and unknowable, the most important place within the Ziwu Palace. Who would have thought, Mount Tianshan might only be an outer area of the Ziwu Palace!

The Heavenly Mountains separated from the Purple Micro Palace, and it wasn't just damaged; it was almost completely flattened.

Those who dwell in the mountains...

Qin Sang stared blankly at the broken mountain, a stubborn pretty face flashing in his mind. He was speechless for a moment, and felt Su Nu falling beside him, asking in a low voice: "If there were people in the mountains, would it be possible to survive when they ascended"

The ethereal maiden spread out her divine awareness, meticulously scanning the broken mountain. Her voice was heavy as she said: "This mountain's current state indicates that during its ascension, it faced the chaotic currents of the void with little resistance."

This sentence is very clear.

The virgin witness, no one knew the scene better than she did, how terrifying it was.

Bing Yao was trapped on Tianshan Mountain. There was no ascension platform, and no Demon Lord to share the pressure with her. Tianshan Mountain had been leveled, and she was almost out of hope of survival!

The maiden hesitated for a moment before asking, "That person... is he a friend of Brother Qin"

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

“He was an old acquaintance.”

Qin Sang sighed, finally knowing the whereabouts of Liuli, but this reunion 'gift' was too cruel.

Master was the spiritual pillar of Liuli. He had been looking forward to this for a thousand years, searching desperately his whole life. To save Master, he was willing to sacrifice everything, even his own life, but in the end, he met with such a cruel result.

"Qin brother, please be consoled," the fairy girl softly comforted, standing quietly beside him.

After a long time, the figure in front of Dùanshan disappeared, leaving only a faint sigh that was gradually blown away by the wind.

"Brother Qin, this is a map I drew myself. These marked spots are relatively safe and can serve as temporary resting places. I will be retreating here to meditate..."

The maiden transformed into a map and pointed to a bright spot, "After you've met with those people, come here to rendezvous."

The two wandered through Fengju Yumen, passing by many pieces of Jiange ruins. They arrived at the place where Qin Sang and Xin Shaozhu had made an appointment. They had agreed to meet every so often to exchange their findings, so Qin Sang bid farewell to Su Nu and left first for a while.

The value of this map speaks for itself. I didn't expect Su Nü to even tell me about her usual place of seclusion. Qin Sang was about to thank her, but Su Nü, as if she had anticipated it, curled the corner of her mouth. "Qin brother still treats his younger sister with such politeness"

Qin Sang let out a hearty laugh, then without further ado, cupped his hands together and vanished in a flash of light.

Gazing at the receding light, a subtle smile faded from Su Nü's face. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Gazing for a long time, she let out a soft sigh and turned to leave. However, instead of going to the place marked on the map, she came to a small world enveloped by divine illusions.

>

The sights in the world of Xiaoqian are astonishing, a truly spectacular spectacle.

Upon the land, there stood towering stone steles. The steles lined up endlessly, forming an unimaginable array of massive stone monuments.

The slender figure of the maiden flashed, arriving at the center of the stele formation. There was a stone platform inscribed with numerous glyphs.

>

Then, the beautiful woman pinched a seal, her face suddenly turned pale, and blood essence continuously gushed out of her body, dripping onto the stone platform. Following the runes, it flowed and dyed the entire platform red. The bloody light continued to spread outwards.

A startling scene unfolded, as delicate bloodstains swiftly covered the stone stelae, spreading across the entire formation. The earth trembled violently, and a surge of bloody light erupted into the sky.

The jade bead was surrounded by the blood sea, its light becoming increasingly bright and undergoing strange changes.

Suzhen's lips had no trace of blood, her breath was extremely weak, yet she still exerted every ounce of strength to cast the spell.

>

At last, the jade bead transformed into a mirror-like shape. The surface was initially chaotic, but gradually became clear, revealing a blurred image as if it were transmitted from a distant unknown.

In the mirror, there was a cold throne, upon which sat a king.

Although the image is very blurry and it's impossible to make out the features clearly, one thing is for sure: this monarch must have been a peerless beauty.

What was most striking was the red dress she was wearing.

Her posture was slightly languid, her red dress fiery and bright, yet not at all out of place. It was like the noble dignity of a phoenix, like the supreme majesty of an emperor.

The goddess' expression was solemn, a glimmer of awe in her eyes. She bowed her head, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have waited for him..."

As soon as the words left her lips, the mirror shattered.

... A low rumble ...

The stele forest crumbled one by one, and together with the jade bead, they were destroyed.

The loss of a grand scale stele formation, a magical treasure orb, and the entire essence of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it seemed, was all just to convey this one sentence.

The innocent woman herself was extremely weak, falling headfirst into a pool of blood, unconscious. (The end)the treetops, they saw two streaks of light hurtling towards them from the distant horizon.>There is more behind them.The cultivators on the island who had reached the Jindan stage were all attracted....
