Chapter 1705: The Shadow of Evil

worried about the changing situation.The Yuncang vast wetlands are boundless. If a large-scale war were to break out between the Heavenly Alliance and the Xiaohan Domain, it would only affect the cen...Inside the dantian.

The sky-eye butterfly wrapped itself in its wings, emitting a faint glow from its wing surface, resembling a luminous cocoon, still and silent.

The killing sword and poisonous beads, etc., were cleaned out by Qin Sang.

Only the nascent infant and heavenly eye butterfly remained within the dantian.

Yuan Ying spread her arms wide, and slender strands of light extended from her fingertips, merging with the luminous glow.

Qin Sang's mind and Tianmu Die were connected, feeling the thoughts of his natal insect Gu. At the same time, he used his heart and mind to create various seals from the Panhu Zhenjing.

In Qin Sang's view, the shamanism and incantations in the "True Classic of Panhu" were very strange. Qin Sang had previously deduced them many times, and now that he was using them, he still felt a bit stuck.

This is normal, after all, this scripture is not of the human legal lineage. As the Ghost Mother warned, Qin Sang has no witch bloodline. As his realm improves, he must be careful of the backlash of the worm gu.

However, the Tianmu Butterfly showed no signs of devouring its master.

Feeling the unprecedented changes in their master, even their connection with each other became sometimes blurry, sometimes clear. The Sky-Eyed Butterfly transmitted a sense of unease.

Qin Sang felt nothing but closeness and reliance from this emotion, without any distractions.

Continuously soothing the Heavenly-Eyed Butterfly, Qin Sang quickened the pace of his spellcasting.

Employing the Pan Hu Zhen Jing to refine the natal worm gu was fraught with peril, but due to Tian Mu Die's unwavering reliance on him, Qin Sang remained in control throughout.

The cave was silent and still.

Qin Sang sat quietly for an unknown amount of time, her body also emanating a dazzling glow like the Tianmu butterfly. The glow automatically converged to Qin Sang's dantian.

This is a simple example of how to use HTML tags in text.

At this moment, he seemed to be holding a luminous orb. His energy and the Qi of the Heavenly-Eyed Butterfly were merging within it. Within, myriad scenes evolved, sometimes towering mountains, sometimes vast landscapes changing like the sea, revealing an ancient aura.

Amongst all the visions, there was one butterfly shadow that remained constant. It flew ceaselessly, traversing mountains and valleys, rivers and lakes, never tiring, never knowing where its end lay.

At first, the butterfly shadow was very blurry.

As a tremor resonated within Qin Sang's body, his qi and blood surged like thunder. Blood threads extended into the illusory realm, contacting the butterfly shadow, which became increasingly clear. Its form was identical to that of the Heavenly-Eyed Butterfly, as if it had materialized into a tangible being.

The butterfly shadows coalesced, Qin Sang's throat trembled, and a deep, strange sound escaped his lips. The illusion vanished abruptly, leaving only the butterfly shadows. They fluttered once and flew into Qin Sang's dantian.

Within the dantian.

The butterfly shadow flew straight toward the Tianmu butterfly.

Two butterfly spirits are exactly alike in appearance, perfectly overlapping and merging into one.

The Temperate Swallowtail butterflies huddled together, trembling. They soon calmed down, their breathing evened out, and they entered a state of slumber.

Qin Sang closed his eyes tightly, concentrating on his dantian, sensing the changes between him and the Tianmu Butterfly. He was indeed a true disciple of the Witch Sect passed down from the Ghost Mother, with immediate and visible effects.

He and Tianmu Die's feeling of blood fusion became clearer. He felt a deeper connection between them, a sense of oneness. This was a clear advantage; in the future if Tianmu Die encountered problems or bottlenecks during her cultivation, he could merge his mind with hers and provide help when seeking solutions, instead of being helpless and confused as before.

As his cultivation deepened, and he came into contact with elixirs that were beneficial to the Heavenly Eyed Butterfly, he could also have a sudden whim, without having to spend time trying them one by one.

These are not even the greatest benefits. In the future, if Tianmudie falls behind him, he can fully utilize the blood refining, secret medicine, and other techniques described in the scriptures to rapidly increase Tianmudie's cultivation level.

“This is the true soulmate insect!”

Qin Sang felt a pang of emotion. Having not grasped the true method before, he had wasted too much time.

The Heavenly Eye Butterfly is slumbering in the dantian, adapting to the new changes.

Qin Sang did not wake the Heaven-eyed Butterfly. After waking from his meditation, he looked thoughtful and glanced at the poisonous bead floating in front of him. He suddenly remembered the Gu King.

The Gu King was sealed by the Ghost Mother and is sleeping in a spirit beast bag.

Qin Sang, following the guidance of the Ghost Mother, began to refine the Poison Pearl anew. Although he had been devoted to cultivating the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" before and hadn't focused much on this, decades of unconscious guidance had allowed the Poison Pearl to undergo a natural transformation, with some success.

“After years of nurturing, the most troublesome Dao foundation has almost stabilized. Next, the recovery speed of the injury is getting faster and faster. While healing, I will refine the poison bead and devour the Gu King! By the way, I also need to comprehend the methods of refining the Taiji Immortal Stage and Bing Huo Ling.”

Qin Sang pondered what to do next.

Now his cultivation speed is already very fast. It can be seen that after the avatar sent the Four Saints Gathering Spirit Array, his cultivation will surely rise rapidly, directly facing the Nascent Soul bottleneck.

It just so happens that the Lingxi Immortal Fruit and Wusheng Demon Seal, both related to breakthroughs, need to wait for the right time. Furthermore, it is unknown when the ferocious beast will appear. There's no need to be impatient.

Before doing that, Qin Sang decided to first take care of all the trivial matters.

Next, Qin Sang took out the inheritance obtained from the Elder Yan Shan's snowfield tomb and carefully pondered over it.

The Ice-Fire Order is difficult because of the sheer number and high value of the items required. However, if you understand the properties of the Ice Mirror Disk and the Fire Rhinoceros Talisman, it's not as challenging as the Taiji Immortal Platform.

After reviewing the refining methods of the Taiji Xiantai, Qin Sang sighed and rubbed his brow, putting it aside. He then pulled out the refining inheritance of the Mu Xiang lineage.

Time flies.

> It's been three years again.

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

Over the past three years, Qin Sang had meticulously read through the Wooden Phase's teachings several times. While his mastery of the art of refining weaponry hadn't improved significantly, he successfully refined the poison pearl.

‘Whoosh!’

The slumbering Gu King was summoned.

Qin Sang looked at his right hand, his fingertips moving a dragon-eye sized pearl, which was the re-refined poison pearl. It felt soft and wasn't yet a true physical object.

Let's think as one.

The poison orb suddenly flashed, and a multicolored rainbow shot out from it, heading towards the empty space in front of Qin Sang. It looked only slightly more solid than before, but it was completely different from the detoxification aura.

This beam of radiance can not only be transformed into a poison-proof armor, warding off external toxins, but also be converted into a toxic light!

Antivenom, poison, sending and receiving at will.

The poison in the venom orb should be from fat silkworm having ingested various poisons over the years, merging and transforming them. If Qin Sang cultivates it well, and the fat silkworm comprehends the poison light, it could become a great aid very early on. Luckily, it finally met a master.

After a brief trial, Qin Sang's gaze shifted to the Gu King. He threw the poisonous orb in his hand, which hovered above the Gu King, constantly emitting multicolored light and enveloping it.

As if a force were pulling it, the Gu King slowly drifted toward the poison pearl.

Soon, the glow of the setting sun faded and the poisonous pearl flew to Qin Sang's face. It slowly rotated, allowing a clear view of the jade beetle trapped inside. It seemed to be sealed within, remaining motionless throughout the entire process.

Qin Sang's brow shot out a sword light, Yun You Jian suspended above the poisonous bead. Employing the same old trick, she used pure sword intent to suppress it.

At the same time, countless multicolored silk threads appeared inside the poison pearl, cautiously drifting towards the Gu King. However, they didn't truly touch the Gu King's body, but instead merged into the divine inscription seal on its body first.

The divine inscription left by the Ghost Mother sealed the Gu King's weaknesses, and at the same time pointed Qin Sang in the right direction.

Gradually, the Gu King's body patterns became seven-colored. Although Qin Sang's movements were very gentle, the Gu King seemed to still feel the threat and almost woke up several times.

Luckily, with the Cloud Traveling Sword suppressing it, the process went relatively smoothly.

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

"It's done!"

Qin Sang's eyes flickered, he drew the poison orb into his palm.

Inside the poison pearl, the Gu King was bound like a five-pointed star, wrapped in a net of seven-colored light silk, layered upon layer. All the silk strands were connected to the nodes of the divine patterns.

The Gu King's aura hadn't noticeably weakened for now because Qin Sang was preparing to boil frogs in warm water.

The seven-colored silk threads are the tentacles of the poison pearl. They slowly draw power from the King Cobra while it sleeps, a process that must take a very long time. There is still a possibility of accidents before the King Cobra weakens, so the Cloud Traversing Sword must constantly watch over it.

Withdraw the poison orb and spirit sword back into your body.

Qin Sang no longer paid attention deliberately.

Shortly after, Qin Sang took a few more pills. His injuries finally healed, and he then plunged into cultivation with all his might.

So far, no ferocious beasts have appeared.

Of course, this was good news for Qin Sang.

Before, he was preparing to have his avatar slip away while the two clans were hunting down the ferocious divine beings. He didn't intend to move his true body. Now that his true body has healed, he can make a move as well.

While cultivating, he would occasionally take out the wooden transmission and other genuine teachings to read and study them carefully.

There has been no news from the outside world.

During his cultivation breaks, Qin Sang once again pondered over the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus".

After the breakthrough of divine consciousness, it is difficult to achieve immediate effects if you want to continue improving. It is better to focus on refining the physical body instead. Therefore, before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Qin Sang was not prepared to continue practicing this technique.

However, preparation for the work still needs to be done.

Qin Sang summoned the Fire Lotus and Sun God Tree, attempting to refine the Southern Ming Li Fire. However, after multiple attempts, all failed. The Fire Lotus couldn't shake the Southern Ming Li Fire at all!

Thus, a deadlock ensues.

To what level must "Fire Seed Lotus" be cultivated to shake the Southern Ming Li Fire If one cannot refine the Southern Ming Li Fire, how can one enhance the Fire Lotus

With Qin Sang's current cultivation, the enhancement brought by ordinary spiritual fire is negligible.

Even the immortal gate of Lianwu Xiang and the Huoxixi Island don't have it, let alone other places where it's even harder to find a satisfactory spiritual fire. One can only hope for the future when ascending to the vast world of Daqian.

"It's a pity that the Immortal Palace ascended, and it's highly likely that the Canglang Sea Seven Kills Hall is gone too...Hmm"

Qin Sang reminisced about the past and suddenly remembered something.

Back then, he found himself trapped within the Qisha Hall, mistaken for a demon by the King of Nine Phoenixes. He witnessed with his own eyes as the King wielded a damaged long plume, shattering the immortal barrier and piercing into the inner chamber. The plume moved like flowing flames, resembling the true feathers of the Suzaku, imbued with spiritual fire.

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

Besides, there is also a Heavenly Phoenix feather.

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

The Heaven-Phoenix Plume was brought into Yitian Peak by the Dragon King, attempting to use it to escape and was killed. The Heaven-Phoenix Plume fell into the hands of an elder from the Four Sacred Palaces.

But that damaged, long feather had not appeared, it should still be in the hands of the Nine-Phoenix King.

I wonder what happened to the Nine Phoenix King and the other demons in the end, and if Residual Feather is still alive

Qin Sang tapped his fingers on his knee, pondering the matter. Because he wasn't sure which was higher in rank, the remnants of the feather or the true feather of Zhuque, he couldn't be certain if the Fire Lotus could refine it.

There's no need to rush this matter.

Putting aside her distractions, Qin Sang focused once again on her cultivation.

Spring comes and autumn goes.

Time slips quietly by in cultivation.

Thus, it passed peacefully for nearly twenty years.

Qin Sang would occasionally go out of the pass to see how Qianyuan Temple was developing, but with Ming Yue Wei helping to take care of things, there was no need for Qin Sang to worry about anything.

The North Waste remained as it always was. There seemed to be some undercurrents between the various factions in Zhongzhou, but they had little to do with Qin Sang, so he didn't pay too much attention.

The incarnation stayed at the Gamlu Chan Monastery, during which time he met some high monks and made good connections. Perhaps seeing that the Holy Light was quite fond of him, the incarnation asked them questions and they did not hide their knowledge.

A person can either go to the library of scriptures to read ancient texts, or they can contemplate alchemical secrets, or they can befriend masters from all walks of life. How pleasant!

Of course, there's plenty to be done.

Several kinds of medicinal herbs required for the Tianmu Butterfly have already been refined. The main material from the Taiji Xiantai was obtained from the Qinghu Saint King, and the less valuable auxiliary materials are not difficult to obtain, and they have already been prepared.

I have also gathered some of the spiritual materials needed for the Ice Fire Order, and I have a general idea about the rest. I will try to trade for them later.

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

To his knowledge, the beast hadn't appeared yet and Qinghu Shengwang had stayed at Ganlu Chanlin.

Oddly enough, Mo Xindao did not leave either. He stayed behind and took a top-notch cave dwelling on the back mountain, cultivating diligently in seclusion.

It seems that this number one wandering cultivator of the Northern Wilderness is truly going to devote himself to Buddhism.

I've only met Mo Xindao once. We exchanged a few words before parting ways in a hurry.

It was this day.

The avatar was browsing Buddhist scriptures in the Sutra Repository, focusing on sections related to physical cultivation. Suddenly, he sensed a commotion at the mountain gate and closed his book before stepping out of the Sutra Repository. He saw monks hurrying around the temple.

Rarely seen Buddhist masters appeared one after another at this moment.

>

The figure grabbed hold of someone and inquired. Upon learning that the master, Hengji, had summoned them, a flash of light appeared in the direction of Xiaofangcun Mountain. Immediately, they guessed what was going on.

He hesitated for no moment and quickly came to the Great Hall of Avatars. Sure enough, he saw the Holy Being Huiguang and the Holy King Qinghu present there. Master Xingji respectfully reported something to them.

Mo Xingdao also stood on the sidelines, eyes observing his nose and his heart observing his mind, unaware of where he had placed the puppet.

Upon seeing the incarnation arrive, familiar Buddhist dignitaries greeted him.

Both the two Nascent Soul cultivators noticed him. The Qinghu Saint King just glanced at him, while the Huiguang Saint nodded with a smile.

Huasheng immediately returned the greeting, quickly walking to Mo Xindao's side and getting straight to the point: "Mo Daoist, has a ferocious beast appeared"

Mo Xingdao hummed and said, "The storm brought a warning. Fellow cultivators patrolling in the southeast discovered an anomaly, a ferocious beast was breaking waves northward from that direction. Judging by the beast's trajectory, it should graze Zhongzhou. Outside cultivators have already taken action, preparing to use bait to gradually lure the beast northward towards Zhongzhou..."

Upon hearing this, the avatar nodded.

>

He had long known the layout of the two gods' schemes, setting traps in the north and south directions. They themselves took up their positions in the Central Plains.

With the combined efforts of both clans, they divided their strength to guard against storms and lay traps. Based on the direction the beast appeared, they would determine whether to lead it south or north.

The North is the most convenient, because a Buddhist temple on the edge of the Western Desert controls an ancient teleportation array that leads directly to the Northern Sea.

A concrete plan is already in place, and now it's time to gather experts from all sides to hunt down the culprit.

He hurried back to his cave dwelling, sent a message to his true form, took all his belongings, and when he came out again, a black shadow appeared above the Ganlu Zen Temple, it was a flying boat.

>

With the two great families' deities leading the way, Buddhist masters poured into the flying vessel.

Upon seeing the incarnation board the flying vessel, the gaze of the Qinghu Sacred King flickered with surprise.

The incarnation did not take the opportunity to leave, and still needed to see the beast with their own eyes before feeling at ease.

In the midst of the deer park.

Upon hearing this, I left my dwelling and glanced north. With a flash, I vanished from Lù Yě and traveled to a deserted place. Transforming into lightning, I sped through the air at incredible speed.
