Chapter 740: Bottleneck

made a warning.Unless there is true danger to life, no one is allowed to leave the Guiyuan formation without permission. Otherwise, you will bring danger to others, and don't blame Yu for being ruthle...Qin Sang attempted to cultivate the technique created by Senior Qingzhu. At first, the process of comprehension went very smoothly. After all, it was closely related to his original method.

But when Qin Sang truly began to cultivate and tried to inscribe the sixth killing talisman onto his natal spirit sword, he encountered a problem.

>

First, the new talisman's auxiliary effect for cultivation is inferior to that of a genuine talisman.

If it were truly a killing talisman, Qin Sang's cultivation speed should be comparable to that of a cultivator with dual spiritual roots, truly entering the ranks of heaven's pride. There is still a considerable gap now.

Secondly, the killing talisman created by Senior Qingzhu is not perfect. Although Qin Sang can cultivate it, it is not entirely compatible with him. If he is not careful, there is a risk of collapse, so the requirements for cultivators and their natal spirit swords are very high.

In this case, if the ebony sword is not upgraded, it may not be able to bear the full power of the killing talisman.

That is to say, Qin Sang, when he was at the middle stage of forming pills, would face the awkward situation of his natal spirit sword collapsing halfway through his cultivation. The bottleneck came early and unexpectedly.

The situation is more severe than Qin Sang expected.

"Bottleneck! Bottleneck! You only have a few decades left for yourself. Now there's not even a message, searching aimlessly like this, can you really find the ten divine trees Could it be that you truly have to wait until you return to the Xiao Han domain and seek out the Wujian Blood Mulberry in Wuya Valley"

Qin Sang awoke from his meditation, gazing up at the vaulted ceiling of the cave dwelling with a blank expression.

The

is too special. Modifying other cultivation techniques will not only reduce the cultivation speed to that of a five-spirit root, but the cost will be so great that it may be unbearable, possibly even losing the chance to strike at the Nascent Soul stage.

Even a sliver of hope would keep Qin Sang from even thinking about it.

The good news is that the techniques created by Senior Qingzhu are not that profound and have a trace to follow. Within certain limits, even if you can't engrave killing talismans, you can still comprehend most of their true meaning. Once we find a suitable spirit wood and enhance the Wumu Sword, engraving killing talismans will be much easier and faster. But the time this buys us is also limited, this problem will eventually be placed before us.

"There's another way, which is to use refining techniques when inscribing the killing talismans. Continuing to delve into the art of refining should allow me to inscribe a few more lines. Fortunately, I had this idea before, it was like preparing for a rainy day, and now I have some clues. The hope is very high."

Finally, Qin Sang sighed, "These are all superficial treatments that don't address the root of the problem."

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Sang continued to meditate silently.

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

While cultivating, I also pondered how to improve my sword forging skills. I want to imbue the ebony sword with more killing talismans.

>

Unbeknownst to me, time flew by as I cultivated. Over two years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past two years, Qin Sang had hardly left his cave dwelling.

He practiced diligently every day, delving into the art of refining artifacts and the ways of prohibitions. He made numerous attempts, enduring countless failures, until finally, he managed to compile some rudimentary artifact prohibitions that could stabilize the ebony sword.

This is just a draft, there are still many places that need to be improved.

"I didn't expect that because of my cultivation method, I would close the door here for so long. This was not in my plan at all. There are less than three years left before the Qisha Hall opens. Traveling the entire Yaohai and then going to the Inner Sea seems a bit rushed. It wouldn't be good to just take a superficial glance around. Perhaps I should stay in Yaohai for the remaining time, and wait until after I come out of the Qisha Hall to stay in the Inner Sea for a while."

Qin Sang walked out of the cave dwelling, made a decision, summoned the two-headed hound, identified the direction, and his figure disappeared into the azure sea.

The Great Wilderness Island.

This is a test.

Human cultivators entered the portal to the demon sea.

This island, like Tianwu Island, is heavily guarded and extremely vast, resembling a small continent. It's one of the few large islands in the Sea of Demons. Not only do cultivators come and go, but ordinary people also cultivate here.

After more than fifty years of transmission, Qin Sang set foot on the desolate island for the first time.

Legend has it that Dahuang Island was the first island occupied by cultivators entering the Yaohai, holding extraordinary significance. Back then, Yaohai was a truly wild and desolate place.

Actually, things aren't much different now. The territories held by cultivators and demon cultivators are still insignificant compared to the entire Demon Sea.

He stood before the city gate, gazing at the magnificent metropolis.

Over the past three years of travel, Qin Sang has nearly visited all the islands in the Yao Hai archipelago. There have been gains and disappointments.

Every time Qin Sang arrived at a new place, his first priority was to inquire about the emergence of the Ten Divine Trees. To this end, he proactively contacted many people, including the confidants of island masters and reclusive cultivators.

The Demon Sea is a treasure trove, not only teeming with demonic beasts, but if you're lucky, you might even find rare spiritual herbs and exotic flowers on uncharted islands.

For example, the six-petaled Violet of Mount Momiji.

Finding the Ten Divine Trees in the Demon Sea is a slim chance, but not entirely impossible.

Qin Sang's escapism was unique, daring to venture into the most dangerous places. But what's frustrating is that there wasn't even a rumor about him, let alone any news.

Now, I can only hope for the best within these domestic waters.

The Inner Sea has been inhabited by cultivators since ancient times, with ancient traditions. Perhaps clues can be found among the many legends. It is even possible that some top-tier sects possess the Ten Divine Trees, but keep it a secret.

Qin Sang entered the city and did not go into any of the shops. After discerning the direction, his target was very clear, and he went straight to a small courtyard within the city.

...bang bang...

Qin Sang reached out and knocked on the door.

The small courtyard looked much like the ones next to it, with a common wooden gate.

But Qin Sang got the message from Zou Lao that he should come here and meet with other cultivators from the Dongji League to enter Qisha Dian together.

Although there were no signs of any restrictions around the small courtyard, Qin Sang still held a great deal of respect for the formidable Eastern Pole Alliance. He did not recklessly use his divine sense to probe.

‘Creak…’

Soon, the wooden door was pushed open from inside, and a kind-faced old man stepped out.

"May I ask what brings you here, honorable senior"

Although the elder only had the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment period, he faced Qin Sang without being humble or arrogant.

Qin Sang spoke in a gentle tone: “Sir, some time ago, I purchased a token and made a reservation to come here. This is my proof of identity. Please inform the owner.”

Saying that, Qin Sang handed over the token of the Qiong Yu Merchant Association.

A gleam appeared in the old man's eyes. After taking the token, he examined it carefully and a smile spread across his face. "It seems that Daoist Qingfeng has arrived. My master has been waiting for you for quite some time. Please follow me."

Qin Sang followed the old man into the courtyard and discovered that there was another world inside. There were several exquisite wooden buildings, with shimmering light from restrictions, powerful and extraordinary.

The old man led Qin Sang to a wooden building and bowed: "My master is currently visiting guests outside and will be back in the evening. Please, Daoist, rest for a while."

“That’s fine.”

Qin Sang nodded, stood in front of the building, and looked at the other wooden buildings.

From these wooden houses, Qin Sang sensed a hidden presence. It seemed someone had already arrived.

Address: reached Qin Sang when it was dispersed by the Nine Nether Demon Fire.The Nine Nether Demon Fire was certainly far superior to the beast fire of the ferocious beast leader, but because Qin Sang's cult...
