Chapter 1703: Breakthrough
edly, as Qin Sang's figure moved, another change occurred.The lightning strike came in an instant.The Tiānmù butterfly vibrated its wings gently. Upon the butterfly's wings, the Tiānmù suddenly opened...Instant access to Chinese domain names. Two years later. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
As the divine sense detected the disturbance of the cave's prohibition, he awoke from his meditation and welcomed the Saint of Wisdom Light and the Qinghu Saint King into the room.

During this time, the Azure Fox Saint King rushed to the Donghai Cleansing Sky Island to relocate the ancient Gathering Spirit Formation, and collected various elixir and materials required for the incarnation from the demon clan. He has just returned.

'Bang! Bang! Bang...'
The ground trembled.
Several streaks of light flew from the fingertips of the Azure Fox Saint King, landing on the ground and transforming into four statues three meters tall. They were statues of the Four Saints: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
“The Four Saints Statues are part of the Gathering Spirit Array. This king also calls it the Four Saints Gathering Spirit Array, this is the core array disk.”
The Azure Fox Saint King flicked his wrist again, and a gossip-shaped array disc flew towards the avatar.
The disk shimmered with silver light, about the normal size of a compass. As I reached out to take it, I felt its weight in my hand. I couldn't tell what material it was made from.
The chessboard is covered with many lines, but they are not regular runes, but a dense network of cracks, truly pitiful to behold.
Although the Azure Fox Saint King had warned him beforehand to look carefully at the formation and to be careful with his movements, for fear of damaging it, he still unconsciously lightened his movements.

Looking again at the Four Saints statues, they are only slightly better than the chessboard.
>
He cast a suspicious glance at the Qinghu Saint King.
The Qinghu Holy King spoke in a languid voice: “Since you’ve cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage, you shouldn’t be clueless about array formations. Try it and you’ll know that this king isn't exaggerating. I can definitely support your cultivation. Of course, if you can comprehend the true Four Saints Gathering Spirit Array from these artifacts, even this king would envy your luck.”
The avatar could feel the mockery in the tone of voice.
It seems that the Azure Fox Saint King is confident and has determined that he couldn't comprehend the true Gathering Spirit Formation. If it were that easy, it wouldn't be worth so much.
"Please wait a moment..."
He rose and gestured, the four statues shrinking to fit in his palm, then brought them into the inner room.
In the inner chamber, the transformed being, following the instructions of the Azure Fox Holy King, set up the four sacred statues and the array disk. They were placed with strict adherence to the positions of the four saints, each corresponding precisely.
At the same time, there was also the Myriad Mile Azure Abyss Formation brought by the Saint Huidi.
Ganlu Chanlin Monastery fully cooperated and had long since prepared all the formations and artifacts needed for the Ten Thousand Miles Azure Darkness Array.
Both sides are stationed in the avatar's cave.
The Four Saints Gathering Spirit Formation was complete, and the four statues vanished simultaneously. Afterward, four sacred beast glyphs appeared at the formation's cardinal points, their heads all pointing toward the center of the formation, mouths slightly open as if breathing in and out towards its core.
As I transformed, I felt a surge of spiritual energy within the cave. Qi from all directions surged towards the center of the gathering spirit array, as if an invisible vortex existed above it.
Up until now, besides a few legends about fairy palaces, this formation is the most powerful gathering spirit array Qin Sang has ever seen!
>
Stepping into the formation, I ran a cycle silently within myself. I suddenly felt refreshed and energized, my cultivation felt much lighter than before. If it weren't for the bottleneck holding me back, the feeling would be even better.
The description of the Azure Fox Saint King prior to this was by no means an exaggeration. With this armory, I will surely be empowered and unstoppable like a tiger with wings added.
“The Four Saints' Statues... I have the Southern Ming's Departing Fire in my hand. Could this help me discover the secrets of this formation”
As thoughts shifted, he turned his gaze to the Zhuque figure beside him.
It's a pity that I didn't feel any familiar energy from it. The four statues might not be truly related to the Four Saints, they could just be an illusion used by the person who set up this formation.
Then, the avatar set up a Myriad Miles Azure Barrier again, forming seals and striking towards the spirit formation.
A gust of wind blew.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
A wisp of azure spirit wind arose from within the formation, swirling slightly before the avatar. It surged upwards and, upon reaching the apex of the cave dwelling's ceiling, vanished abruptly, without a trace.
Meanwhile.
The Qinsang primordial spirit in the Luye wilderness heard a crisp tinkling sound.
On one side of his cave, he had set up a Qingling formation using several fist-sized azure bells. It was used to communicate with the Wanli Qingming Formation and refine the Qingling bells, which cost far less than the main body of the Wanli Qingming Formation.
The ringtone indicates that there's a result over on the avatar's side.
Qin Sang's spirit lifted, he cast a spell, the bell rang even more urgently. A gust of azure spiritual wind gathered within the bell formation, faintly revealing a humanoid outline.
Three days later.
Huan Shen walked out of the inner room. The Holy One of Wisdom Light and the Holy King of Azure Fox were still waiting outside, showing no impatience.

The avatar took out two jade slips that had just been inscribed, "These contain the recipe for Zhenling incense and the inheritance of the Wuxiang Immortal Sect's alchemy. Qin has already arranged for people to deliver Wanling fruit and other herbs soon..."
The Azure Fox Holy King took the jade slip, leaving behind the spiritual herbs and materials needed for his incarnation, then rose to leave, only saying, "This king will verify it later."
"Amitabha Buddha, well done, well done! Two donors have transformed weapons into jade and silk, a truly fortunate event for both clans! It is a fortunate event for all beings!"
This is a test.
The wise Master Hui Guang beamed with satisfaction and stood up, saying, "This humble monk will not disturb the donor's meditation."

“Please, proceed, holy monk.”
After sending off the two clans' Nascent Souls, he returned to his cave abode in his human form. He carefully put away all sorts of treasures and sat down cross-legged. With his palms facing each other, he channeled cold and murderous energy from his palms. Between his palms, a white ball of energy gathered.
Even the chill was confined within a small space, not dissipating at all.
This transformation is precisely the understanding of the icy and murderous aura, used to shatter the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage!
At this time, "The Heavenly Demon Illuminates the Divine Nerves" was passed to me through the Wanli Qingming Formation. For now, physical items like the Four Saints Gathering Spirit Formation are temporarily unable to be sent back, and we will continue to wait for the right opportunity.
Lúyě.
Qin Sang sat with his hands folded on his lap, a jade slip resting in them. It contained the complete text of the *Heavenly Demon Illuminating Divine Scripture*. He had read it dozens of times and was now meticulously pondering each character.
Compared to some other profound Taoist arts like the "Hundredfold Thunder of Yin" 《百疊陰雷》, this sutra is not particularly complex.
Even though Qin Sang has not yet reached that realm, he can still understand the key points within it.
The most dangerous and treacherous part of this scripture lies in the acupoints. It involves proactively setting up an altar and chanting incantations, actively approaching heavenly demons, to seek their guidance and allow a strand of heavenly demon essence, also known as demonic intent, into one's body. Of course, it is not the actual physical form of a heavenly demon.
Through the scriptures, it was impossible to determine its origins. Qin Sang felt that it was more like a demonic sect's sorcery, similar in effect to the demonic sects' arts that caused one's seven emotions to be confused and their six desires to attack the heart.
Even inviting demonic intent carries extremely high demands for cultivators.
First, one's mind must be sufficiently firm, otherwise it will be swayed by the demons and their temptations.
Then one's spiritual awareness must be strong enough to complete the full ritual. This is even more important than mental fortitude because the ritual is extremely draining. At the end of the ritual, when one draws down celestial demon intent, one must immediately sever the connection. Any hesitation will result in truly attracting the attention of the celestial demons, leading to eternal suffering.
After the completion of the rituals, cultivators are constantly accompanied by demonic intent. They use it to temper themselves, but they are also always at risk of being backlashed by it.
According to the scriptures, one must at least have the divine awareness of a deity realm, spiritual cultivation is even better.
Just like him, those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage and obtained various opportunities may have a chance to elevate their divine consciousness to the Divine Transformation level. However, they must be extremely cautious.
With the jade Buddha by her side, Qin Sang had considerably less pressure.
I still remember that year at the Hall of Seven Kills, when the Demon Lord used a secret technique to attack everyone's primordial spirit, instantly injuring them all. However, it was easily blocked by the Jade Buddha.
However, Qin Sang had no way to compare the strength of the Heavenly Demon outside the domain and the Demon Lord.
This string does not contain any text to translate. It only has html tags which don't need translation.
This scripture was also obtained from a malevolent fox demon who harbors ill will towards him, so it should be treated with even greater caution.
Time seemed to stand still within the grotto.
Qin Sang couldn't remember how many times he had pondered over it. He was certain that the Qinghu Saint King hadn't tampered with the scripture. Every sentence in the scripture was concise and profound, no different from the scriptures transmitted from the Immortal Palace. Adding or changing a single sentence would make it jarring; the one who created this scripture was definitely not an ordinary person.
It's still important to be cautious.
The Jade Buddha can only protect his primordial spirit. No one knows for sure if, besides inducing heart demons to kill, the extraterrestrial demons have any other strange and mysterious methods.
To set up an altar and chant incantations, you must first refine the essence of demonic fire.
>
In addition, we still need to wait for the avatar's return and prepare a backup plan.
If one were in another's shoes, and made a mistake during spellcasting, they would have no ability to cope. A surge of demons would instantly arise in their heart, leaving them with no hope of salvation.
Qin Sang was different. With the Jade Buddha ensuring his spiritual platform remained clear, no matter how powerful a celestial demon might be, he should still be able to react in time.
If a major problem arises that cannot be solved, immediately have the avatar replace the original body and then sever all connections between the outside world and the avatar, abandon the vehicle to protect the general.
Whether using the celestial demon's external appearance to replace the heart demon in condensing a magic seal would work, Qin Sang had no absolute certainty.
But thinking of Senior Sister Qingjun's description of the "Wusheng Mo Yin," it's worth a try.
Just as Qin Sang is doing now.
Defeat, abandon a vessel.
If one succeeds in cultivation, they will gain a mystical art of transformation. Outer demons can beguile cultivators at the Refining Void stage. By forming seals with their demonic intent, it should be more powerful than the effects of a heart demon.
His goal has always remained the same, with breaking through his limits as the top priority. He is willing to sacrifice everything for this, even abandoning his external avatars.
Master Qingfeng appeared at Ganlu Chan Temple, but the commotion did not last long.
The cultivation world's attention was soon diverted by other matters.
The most talked-about event was the gathering of experts from both human and demon clans under the leadership of two Nascent Soul cultivators. They set up defenses in three storm zones - north, east, and south of Zhongzhou - to prepare for hunting down the culprit.
The western part of the Zhongzhou region is a land of volcanoes and flames, where ferocious beasts are rarely found.
To this day, news of the rampant demonic beasts has spread throughout the cultivation world, and many Jindan cultivators are already aware of it.
After the initial panic, people's moods have gradually calmed down because there are fewer and fewer reports of ferocious beasts. Unlike before when they roamed in packs, it has been decades since the last time a ferocious beast was seen passing through Zhongzhou.
For so many years that have passed, besides the monstrous beasts that appeared out of nowhere, there have been no other changes. The barrier that protects against storms has shown no signs of weakening.
Only those who knew the inside story worried that something had happened to the lair of the fierce beast, affecting the path to ascension. Therefore, the two clans' Nascent Soul cultivators ascended to a high place and called out, gathering a resounding response.
Both the human and yokai clans, rarely seen to unite, joined forces with their top experts. They took turns patrolling the storm zone, ready to report the moment the ferocious beast appeared.
So, fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Ganlu Chan Temple.
The sound of 'clack clack' echoed continuously within the Cave of Transformation.

If someone were to enter the cave dwelling at this moment, they would be greatly astonished. The interior of the cave dwelling was bitterly cold, transformed into an ice cavern. Thick icicles clung to the walls, and a stream of white chill constantly flowed within the cave.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even a Yuanying cultivator, if they are not careful, can be injured by the cold air.
A chill lingered around a figure seated cross-legged, it was the embodiment of winter.
His form became enveloped in a layer of frost, as if frozen solid. Every breath he drew in and exhaled was a chill that permeated the surrounding air, growing denser with each passing moment.
The entire grotto was a blinding white.
Suddenly, the cold air stopped flowing.
>
Inside the cave dwelling, time seemed to stop as well. After a hundred breaths, it transitioned from stillness to extreme motion. The cold air was visible as it condensed into several strands, crazily converging inwards, and finally gathered at the top of the avatar's head, pouring into its body!

Boom!
His body trembled violently, a booming sound echoing within him like thunder.
On the other side of this mountain, a high monk inside his cave suddenly opened his eyes and instantly appeared on the peak, looking towards the transformed cave dwelling. His hands swiftly moved a rosary.

A long, piercing cry echoed through the mountains. As if responding to a summons, spiritual energy surged within the mountain, pouring into the cave where his divine form resided. The peaks themselves trembled in response.

The vision lingered for a long time.
Not long after.
Shadows flickered before the monk, and a figure emerged—it was his avatar.
However, the avatar's aura had drastically changed, already reaching the late stage of Nascent Soul!
"The holy monk's quiet cultivation was disturbed."
He bowed deeply.
"Well done! Congratulations, Daoist Master, for attaining the profound truth!"
The monk returned the salute with clasped hands.
The avatar revealed a smile. He hadn't expected it to go so smoothly. His external avatar successfully broke through the barrier on its first try. It seemed that the original body's insights were also beneficial to the avatar.
Unlike Qin Sang's previous practice, after his transformation broke through, he didn't always retreat to stabilize his cultivation. Instead, he made a high-profile appearance. The news of Qingfeng Daochang's breakthrough to the late stage of Yuanying quickly spread throughout the immortal world. People said that he was close to becoming a deity, but unfortunately, he was lured away by the Buddhist sect.
Due to the fact that Master Qinfeng resides at Ganlu Chan Temple, it is difficult for ordinary people to see him. The Xie family and Loutai Temple have become even more sought after.
If someone in the sect breaks through to the later stage of the Nascent Soul, a celebration must be held in Behai, but it is optional in Zhongzhou.
When the Master of Compassion came to congratulate, he probably just said it politely. Unexpectedly, the Bodhisattva did not refuse at all and readily agreed, having the Ganlu Chan Monastery take care of it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Thus, the cultivation world witnessed a spectacle like never before. Prior to this, there had been no precedent for celebrations being held at another sect's mountain gate.
On the joyous occasion, distinguished guests filled every seat.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Ganlu Zen Monastery has achieved perfection, and Xie An and the others run around busily, all very proud of themselves.
At the celebration, Not Mountain's Headmaster, Situ Yu, personally delivered congratulations and remarked that Lu Zhang had already accomplished great deeds and was on the verge of breaking through to a higher realm. His words were filled with congratulations.
Another Eight Scenes Viewing master, Crane Ridge Real Person, came to celebrate.

The 化身 also met the renowned master of Tianhao Lou, as well as high-ranking officials from top sects like Longju Cave Heaven and Qiongying Gate. He knew heroes from all over the world.
Apparently, the Ganlu Chan Temple was prepared as well. With alternative arrangements in place, these individuals met with the incarnations briefly before going to visit Holy Light Sage. They seem to be discussing something together.

Worth mentioning, the avatar reunited with the Poison King at the celebration.
As expected, the Poison King brought up the matter of the Gu King again.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Having failed to glean the Gu King's origins from the Poison King, Huashan said frankly, "Fellow Daoist should understand Qin's predicament. Even if I wanted to trade, I wouldn't dare appear. I will wait until my cultivation base is established before visiting."
After the breakthrough, Qin Sang was not in a hurry to improve his avatar's cultivation.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The incarnation didn't continue his seclusion. Instead, he contemplated the Fourfold Serpent Seal while browsing through the scriptures in the Sutra Repository of Ganlu Chan Monastery, reaping a rich harvest.
Furthermore, he began to learn the Taoist alchemy transmission of the Wu Xiang Immortal Sect.
Though some cultivators in the immortal world dabble in secret arts like avatars and spirit projections, most find their results unsatisfactory. After all, not everyone's avatar is as autonomous as his, with a cultivation level comparable to their true self, capable of comprehending deeply profound knowledge.
The two clans transformed their divine spirits into refining the town spirit incense and summoned human alchemists to analyze the formula.
After the avatar learned this, it contacted several individuals. These people remained tight-lipped about the matter of Zhenling incense, but they didn't mind giving him a favor and generously offered advice. Moreover, at the avatar's invitation, they lent their hands to refine the elixir needed for the Tianmu Butterfly.
Another six years.
Luye Nei.
The Mani bead hovered before the figure, and the flames surrounding the Cintamani jewel reappeared red, mixed with streaks of black.
