slightly, then sat cross-legged on the ground. He raised his Heaven Confinement Bowl, closed his eyes, and muttered words under his breath.At first, Kun Tian Dou resembled a dull, gray sack. As spiri...During his time in quiet seclusion on Tianxing Island, he made some Daoist friends. Most of the sound transmission talismans he picked up were left behind by them. Qin Sang casually grabbed two of them.

> I'd like to have a gathering with three or five friends, and discuss things together.

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

There was also talk of senior practitioners giving lectures elsewhere, and he was invited to attend.

Qin Sang was eager to check on the situation with his avatar and left the sound transmission slip there. He quickly strode into the cave dwelling.

Inside the cave.

The meteorite brought a faint light to the grotto.

The avatar sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, unaware of Qin Sang's arrival due to the restriction that cut him off from perception.

His breath was very steady, sitting still as a bell.

This is a good omen, indicating that Qin Sang did not encounter any accidents during his absence.

Opening the restriction and walking in, the avatar outside remained seated motionless.

Qin Sang and his avatar sat opposite each other, examining the state of the avatar. He discovered that the demonic seed had already begun to 'consume' the physical body, or perhaps merge it, reaching the most critical stage of conceiving a nascent soul.

He didn't expect to be gone for so long at the time, and almost caused a major mishap.

Qin Sang's expression was solemn. After a brief moment of contemplation, he got up and sealed the cave dwelling, then took out a spirit stone and set up a gathering spirit array around him.

After sitting back down, Qin Sang urged his spiritual consciousness, connecting with the awareness of his external avatar, preparing for Xue Si.

The spiritual energy on Baogu Mountain was already very dense, and with the support of the Gathering Spirit Formation, the spiritual energy within the cave dwelling was enough to support Qin Sang in completing the secret technique.

It took a whole night to make sure everything was perfect. Qin Sang squeezed a drop of blood from her fingertips.

The essence blood hovered between them. Qin Sang's face darkened slightly, his hand seals changing rapidly. The spiritual energy within the cave stirred, streaks of runes forming out of thin air and swiftly falling onto the essence blood.

The rune is devoured by essence blood, crimson and brilliant.

This single drop of blood had to bear hundreds or even thousands of runes, which was a huge test of Qin Sang's control. Fortunately, his cultivation level wasn't low, and everything went smoothly.

The last rune fell into the blood.

With a sound of 'pah,' blood burst forth like blood bubbles, a surge of bloody energy coalesced and refused to dissipate. In the end, it transformed into a humanoid blood shadow.

The blood shadow was no bigger than a finger, its features were extremely similar to Qin Sang's, but there was an extremely sinister look between its brows.

Its face wore a bizarre smile, giving anyone who looked at it a chill down their spine.

"As expected of demonic sorcery, it's truly sinister."

Qin Sang murmured.

From the very beginning of secret arts, the seeds of retribution were sown.

Even with his current cultivation, he could already sense the intent of backlash, though it was very faint and negligible.

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

"Go!"

Qin Sang let out a low growl, pointing a finger at his outer avatar. The sinister smile on the blood shadow's face deepened as it eagerly lunged towards his outer avatar, drilling into its forehead.

The avatar trembled slightly before becoming still.

Qin Sang then urged his divine sense, following the blood shadow into the Purple Mansion. He saw a black cocoon of light, within which lay the slumbering Sword Soul Demon Species, about to break free and transform.

The blood shadow merged into the light cocoon and vanished. However, Qin Sang's movements didn't cease. He continued to force out several drops of blood, refining them into blood shadows. Some blood shadows entered his Purple Mansion, while others merged into the body of his external incarnation.

After doing all that, Qin Sang slowly let out a breath, his face slightly pale. Checking the state of his avatar, he found that the secret technique was completed very smoothly.

There seemed to be a vague connection between his avatar and him.

The Soul Sword Demon Seed is abnormally stable. At this rate, just repeating the blood feeding a few times will allow the outer avatar to be successfully forged.

After continuously expending so much essence blood, he hurriedly swallowed several spirit pills.

It's already the ninth day.

He repeats the incantation every day, using his blood to catalyze the nascent fetus. Now, this is the ninth and final iteration.

'Plop! Plop! Plop!'

Blood shadows materialized at Qin Sang's fingertips, instantly pouncing on his outer avatar. The outer avatar bore numerous bloodstains. Most notably, the light cocoon within the Purple Mansion had turned crimson.

When the last streak of blood entered his body, the light cocoon suddenly split open. The Sword Soul Demon Seed leaped out, and at the same time, its outer avatar suddenly opened its eyes.

His eyes were bloodshot, like pools of blood, and there seemed to be a hint of a wicked smile on his face.

Qin Sang's face darkened, his tongue launched like a spring thunder, mobilizing the secret techniques within the "Species Origin Demon Embryo" to dispel the extraneous thoughts of his external avatar, bringing it under his control.

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

His avatar was struck by lightning, his body stiffened abruptly, the blood in his eyes gradually faded, and his expression returned to normal.

Two people with vastly different appearances, but surprisingly similar temperaments.

However, the connection between Qin Sang and his already forged avatar became more subtle.

As long as Qin Sang doesn't appear with his outer incarnation simultaneously, or the other party's cultivation level is far higher than Qin Sang's, it's impossible for them to see through the details of the outer incarnation at a glance.

Moreover, the outer avatar possesses its own consciousness and can act independently. Even outside Qin Sang's line of sight, it behaves just like an ordinary person.

Finally, Qin Sang successfully refined his external avatar. A hint of a smile appeared on his face as he checked its status.

An avatar's cultivation level stays at the Qi Refining stage, even after it is formed. It will not increase beyond this level. Qin Sang needs to continuously nourish it with blood and use secret techniques to quickly enhance its strength.

Of course, 《Zhen Yuan Mo Tai》 also recorded another method, which is to devour other cultivators. The higher the cultivation level, the faster the external avatar would be enhanced.

But the consequences of such an act are obvious: external avatars become more prone to devouring their masters, ultimately creating a demon that turns against its own creator.

After 《The Chapter of Soul and Sword》 came to a standstill, Qin Sang was going to control his Nascent Soul peak avatar with his mid-stage Nascent Soul. To be on the safe side, he would still use essence blood to nourish it and slowly raise its level.

It's a pity that the avatar is not yet formed as a second Yuanying, and it cannot be stored in a corpse puppet bag like a Corpse Refiner. It has to stay outside all the time.

For fear of accidents, before gaining a certain self-defense ability, it had to be left in the cave dwelling.

Qin Sang forced out several drops of essence blood. After the blood sacrifice was complete, he ordered his external avatar to cultivate in solitude.

He also sat cross-legged, entering a state of trance. He meditated all night, finally washing away all his fatigue.

The next morning, Qin Sang glanced at his outer form and strolled out of the cave dwelling.

He was pondering the matter of the Lan Dou Gate.

Lán Dòu Mén possessed a cultivation method honed through the practice of Zhou Tian Xingchen, and once produced cultivators who reached the Jindan stage. Now, it's shrouded in obscurity. Is it due to flaws in the technique that prevent anyone from practicing it, or has something else happened

To find out for sure, I'm afraid we'd have to go near the Lan Dou Men mountain gate and try to contact a core disciple or high-ranking cultivator of Lan Dou Men.

From Tianxing Island to Lan Dou Men is not far. With his speed, he could arrive in less than a month.

"Before we leave, let's check with Yidan Shi if there's any news about scorpionweed. We should still prioritize finding the spirit herb. Oh..."

Qin Sang saw the sound transmission talisman outside and reached out to take it.

The messages in the Sound Transmission Talisman were mostly outdated, but one caught Qin Sang's attention. It was left by a shopkeeper, the same one he had traded for high-grade spirit stones with last time.eyes were deep and penetrating, as if he could see through time and eternity.>"Just now, I said that it was an obsession that kept me in this dark and hopeless place. Do you know what that obsession i...
