trongest corpse refining technique would be unable to stop it. The Nascent Soul would easily obliterate the cultivator into ashes, and the medicinal pills would certainly have already been taken by th...Back on Tianxing Island, Qin Sang went to the Xiang'an Auction House but didn't see Yi Danshi.

The waiter said that Master Yidan recently received an emergency order due to the auction house matter. He, along with other alchemists and weapon smiths from the auction, traveled to the Sea of Demons via a teleportation array.

Accompanying them were also three major trading alliances and a large number of experts.

The matter involved classified information, and even the attendant couldn't say what it was about.

Qin Sang had been in seclusion, pondering over his cultivation techniques, and didn't notice Shang Meng's large-scale movements. Due to the severed connection with the Qiong Yu Chamber of Commerce, he now lacked any channels for gathering information.

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

He has been in the Qiong Yu Chamber of Commerce for many years, and through constant exposure to its workings, he can see that the three major merchant alliances place great importance on the Demon Sea.

It goes without saying that in the vast Canglang Sea, the righteous and demonic factions are like two towering mountains, and the Wuzhu Clan is lurking with covetous eyes. The forces are complex and intertwined. For the three major business alliances to make a name for themselves under the watchful eyes of the righteous and demonic factions, the Demon Sea is an ideal place.

Such a big move, it's estimated that something happened in the Demon Sea.

Qin Sang was not in a hurry. He bade farewell and returned to his cave dwelling to continue his cultivation.

Time flies.

Before I knew it, a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Sang has been in Tianxing City and has hardly ever left the island.

During the day, he cultivated the "Yuanshen Yangjian Chapter," and at night, he drew upon the power of the celestial stars to temper his body. Every few days, he would go out for a spin, interacting with other cultivators and inquiring about Linggui Island.

After another six months, that night, Qin Sang woke up from his meditation in the courtyard.

"More than a year, and he has already cultivated to the peak of the first layer! The reason for this speed is not unrelated to the foundation laid before. As the realm improves, as the foundation smooths out, the cultivation speed will gradually slow down. But as long as there is the Star Spirit Network and the Jade Buddha, it will never be too slow."

Qin Sang clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Although it's only the first layer, Qin Sang could already feel an astonishing change. He felt a surge of power within him, capable of wielding some combat strength even without using his true essence.

This feeling of a powerful physique is completely different from that of a cultivator. Even if their magic treasures are destroyed and their true essence is restricted, top-tier body cultivators still possess terrifying strength.

“However, cultivating the body is truly not easy. The pain I endure during cultivation now is significantly worse than a year ago, while the feeling of relief becomes increasingly faint. When I reach the second and third layers, the Star Yuan tempering of the body will probably bring excruciating pain that penetrates to the bone marrow. The cultivation technique is too domineering. While demon races are born with strong physiques and can endure it, it's quite difficult for humans. Without a strong willpower, it's hard to persevere. Perhaps in the future, I can use medicinal herbs that strengthen the body to help…”

Qin Sang asked himself that his willpower was still acceptable, and there was no fear on his face.

And over this year and more, the changes in the ebony sword have also made him realize that no matter what difficulties he faces, he must continue on this path.

He did not interrupt his cultivation of the Yǔanshen Yǎngjiàn Zhāng. And because of the life-and-death battle in Qisha Hall, he made rapid progress. But as his cultivation advanced, the Wumu Sword finally began to show signs of being unable to withstand the killing talismans.

Originally, it was expected that the ebony sword could last until the sixth killing inscription was completed. Unfortunately, the technique is not the original version, and the pressure on the ebony sword is too great.

Once the Obsidian Sword faces collapse, even if Qin Sang comprehends the profound meaning of the sixth killing talisman, he will be unable to inscribe it, and his cultivation will not advance in the slightest.

And that day will not be far off.

After so long on Tianxing Island, Qin Sang had given up hope of finding the Ten Divine Trees. The Canglang Sea didn't even have similar legends, as if no Ten Divine Trees had ever appeared there. It was less likely than finding one in Xiaohan Domain, a mere speck of land.

Practicing Heavenly Demon Forging Form, cultivating both physical body and magic power, forcibly raising one's strength to the peak of the later stage is the only path visible at present.

At least before the next opening of the Qisha Hall, Qin Sang must treat 《Tian Yao Lian Xing》 as his main cultivation technique.

Qin Sang retracted his thoughts and looked up at the sky. "It's still early. Now, I'll accumulate starlight and tonight, I'll try to infuse it into my body and break through to the second level!"

Mount Baogu is filled with spiritual energy and is the best place to break through one's limits.

The Astral Network rippled slightly, enveloping Qin Sang in a small space.

Qin Sang urged his cultivation technique, drawing the power of the celestial stars into his body. But instead of tempering his physique, he directly forced it out, restrained by the Star Spirit Net, accumulating slowly.

All night, Qin Sang prepared for Xing Yuan's body infusion.

Dawn is approaching.

The courtyard of the cave abode was bathed in brilliant light, and Qin Sang's body was surrounded by dazzling starlight, like a bright lamp illuminating the entire courtyard. If not for the restrictions holding it back, other cultivators would certainly have been startled by this spectacle.

"That's it!"

Qin Sang's face darkened slightly, he muttered an incantation, and his fingertip lightly touched the Star Spirit Net.

At the center of Zhou Tian's stellar power, a vortex suddenly appeared, gushing inward with an incredibly brutal manner, charging into Qin Sang's body.

At the same time, spiritual energy also surged in. The spiritual energy in the small courtyard was almost completely drained.

Qin Sang let out a muffled groan, as if struck by a heavy hammer. His face paled instantly.

Star power and spiritual energy were rampaging within him, wreaking havoc. This pain was fiercer than any he had felt during previous cultivation sessions.

He was tense, maintaining his posture and enduring the pain. He pushed aside all distractions, focusing all his energy on running the technique, guiding these forces, searching for a breakthrough.

As the east gradually brightened, a fiery red spread across the sky.

Until the sun rose, Qin Sang remained seated and motionless.

Suddenly, Qin Sang let out a long howl, rising to his feet. His bones creaked and popped as he shed a layer of skin, revealing impurities that had been forced out from within.

After shedding its skin, his flesh was crystal clear and translucent. He could fill his fist with power just by clenching it lightly.

"Success! The second layer of *Heavenly Demon Refining Form* is complete. Now, with just my physical body, I can fight a Qi-Foundation cultivator and hold my own!"

Having felt the power of his physical body, Qin Sang returned to his original position, taking out his bone flute and observing the cultivation method of the Heavenly Demon Transformation.

Upon achieving the Heavenly Demon Transformation, one's combat prowess could soar to a new level. However, the text only briefly mentions it, implying a close connection between the Heavenly Demon Transformation and contemplating the Heavenly Demon.

Qin Sang was clueless and simply ignored them, focusing on cultivation.

To my surprise, the cultivation process was unexpectedly smooth.

After a short while, Qin Sang suddenly opened his eyes and made some strange gestures. He lowered his head to look at his body for a moment, then raised his arms high.

During his cultivation, Qin Sang felt a strange power surge within him, quite extraordinary. A sudden realization struck him: the Heavenly Demon Transformation could greatly enhance one's body or even a specific part of it.

"Specialize in arms or refine the whole body... I wonder if it's possible to simply grow wings out of thin air"

Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat, remembering the man with the hooked nose.

This man was born with twin wings and could fly faster than him. He was the fastest Nascent Soul cultivator he had ever seen in his lifetime.

The Qingluan is a celestial bird.

If he could also emulate him, and combine it with his own secret symbols and sword energy thunderous sound, perhaps he could surpass the Nascent Soul stage and possess escapism comparable to that of the Golden Core Ancestor.

This is the true pinnacle of a life-saving secret technique. Even if you provoke a powerful Yuan Ying enemy in the future, you won't be completely helpless. In comparison, improving physical defense or refining your hands is far less important.ion. It roared frantically in the fire cage and didn't dare to cross the Lei Chi even half a step.
