Chapter 2,033: Condolences

eak off a branch. Milky white sap flowed from it, emitting the fragrance of grass and trees, completely real!The cloud traveler stood in the middle of the forest, his gaze sweeping across the surround...In the void, irregularly shaped stones of varying sizes floated about, countless in number.

The stone clusters stretched as far as the eye could see, probably covering tens of thousands of miles. According to Master Xin, there were only stones in this place, no magical spectacles or fragments of the miniature world. It seemed that an invisible force had gathered these stones together.

Seemingly ordinary stones, battered by countless gusts of evil wind and bolts of eerie lightning, have surprisingly endured to this day.

However, the bizarre scenes inside Fengju Yumen had become so common that everyone was used to them.

Stepping inside the chaotic rock formations, all you see are gray stones, a monotonous landscape like entering a gigantic maze.

'Snoring...'

A biting cold wind swept through the rocky chaos, howling incessantly. While not as dangerous as an evil wind, it was still a significant nuisance. Qin Sang and Master Xin, along with others, navigated the treacherous terrain, searching for a hidden secret realm within this unforgiving landscape. The difficulty of their task was self-evident.

Before searching for the secret realm, Master Xin had collected a lot of information about this place. It was noticed by many people long ago, and countless searches had been conducted here, but it was said to be very barren and devoid of any treasures. Gradually, no one paid attention to it anymore.

Master Xin, following the will of the head of the Xin family, secretly investigated and has already found the secret realm. However, in order to set a trap to kill Pei Fenggong and Zhong Liangsanren, he remains silent.

The appearances of the stones vary, but their texture is similar, suggesting they come from the same place. Xin Shaozhu speculates that they may have been formed after a giant rock fractured.

If that were true, how massive the original stone must have been! Along the way, we've encountered countless stones towering over mountains.

After much winding, the wind brought the scent of moisture. A flat stone, like a piece of land, appeared before them. A jade ribbon ran through the center of the stone, forming a great river.

The river surged, and both banks were desolate with rocky mountains.

A group of people traced their way upstream, the hidden realm lay at the headwaters of the great river.

Xin Shaozu led the way, and soon everyone arrived above a large marsh.

This place is humid with abundant moisture, enveloped in clouds and mist. Even though there was not the slightest trace of any living creatures, the cultivators from the Xin family still spread out, carefully on guard.

"Elder Qin, the entrance to the secret realm is underwater."

>

The young master pointed downwards with his finger.

Qin Sang probed with his divine sense and found that the water around them was only a few dozen meters deep. The bottom was covered in sand and stones. Beneath them was a narrow, long ditch where water gurgled up from the ground. There were no unusual signs.

This is normal, if the entrance to the secret realm was so easily found, it would have already been claimed.

Only to see Xin Shaozu flip his palm and take out a silk handkerchief, lightly throwing it into the water. The handkerchief sank, and the surface of the water boiled as if something was stirring within. A thick mist rose rapidly, soon shrouding the surroundings in a white haze.

As it sinks, the colors on the Jinpa gradually fade until they become transparent and completely merge with the water.

The next moment, silver light faintly flashed within the ravine.

Qin Sang's expression moved slightly, he looked around. They had been staying in the same place all along, and the surrounding mist hadn't shown any signs of disturbance. But within Qin Sang's perception, some unknown changes were taking place nearby.

'Whew! Whew! Whew!'

This looks like HTML code. I can't translate that directly because it's not text. Could you please tell me what the "

" tag is supposed to contain Then I can help you translate it!

Suddenly, a strong wind swept in, bringing with it swirling white mist that contorted into indescribable shapes.

Others also noticed the abnormality and secretly became vigilant.

After a while, the gale did not subside but intensified instead. The wind howled deafeningly, sharper than thunder, as if the earth was tearing apart and heaven and earth were toppling over.

Xin Shaozhu stood calmly beside Qin Sang, awaiting orders.

Qin Sang observed for a while, allowing the Xin family members to go first, then lightly took a step forward. Just one step, it was as if he had entered a new world. The wind became more violent, white mist shrouded the entire space, and the wind and smoke transformed, like a dreamlike illusion. Unfortunately, the terrifying roar of the wind disrupted the dream.

The howling wind brought an unsettling air of chaos, causing a ripple of unease among the crowd.

"Is this it" Qin Sang asked.

Xin Shaozhu nodded slightly, gazing around intently, as if searching for something.

"It seems this secret realm is on the verge of collapse," Qin Sang said.

This kind of fluctuation was familiar to them, they had just experienced it inside the tomb. This was a sign that the secret realm was on the verge of destruction.

This place is worse than a tomb. The secret realm should have been unstable from the start, and they opening it caused the collapse to accelerate.

“Elder Qin, look,” Young Master Xin pointed to the depths of the wind and smoke, where a slender white figure could be faintly seen.

The white shadow was cylindrical in shape, floating in the wind, rising and falling.

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

Qin Sang stretched out his hand and summoned the white shadow in front of him. It turned out to be a jade pillar, nearly two zhang long and requiring three people to hug. There were several cracks on the jade pillar, and it was not complete. One end had a clear break.

The jade pillar has a clear and translucent texture, its interior like water, flowing.

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

Seeing the jade pillar, Xin Shaozu let out a sigh of relief and said, “The jade pillar must be used to support this secret realm. If the jade pillar is destroyed, the secret realm will lose its support. There must be more than one jade pillar here!”

Qin Sang pinched a seal, sensing carefully, and indeed discovered a special fluctuation, which was artificially refined.

This is a very special kind of refining technique. Qin Sang was intrigued, but with only a broken jade pillar, he couldn't see the whole picture.

After a moment, Qin Sang gave an order, and the group continued deeper into the smoke. They soon found another broken jade pillar, this one even more damaged than the last.

Having been here for so long, with no signs of danger, Qin Sang ordered: "You search separately and bring all the jade pillars here."

Then, he sat cross-legged in mid-air, resting one hand on the jade pillar, closing his eyes to sense things. Xin Shaozhu stood respectfully by his side.

"Yes!"

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

All went to carry out their orders.

Next, some people brought back fragments of the jade pillar, but unfortunately, none were complete.

At this moment, someone suddenly rushed back and reported: "Young Master! Elder Qin! There is a complete jade pillar ahead, but it cannot be moved!"

"Oh"

Qin Sang immediately got up and followed the person to the jade pillar.

Only jade pillars stood erect in mid-air, with no top to the sky and no bottom to the earth. They were incredibly stable, like divine needles pinning down the heavens, almost perfectly intact.

Qin Sang stepped forward and gently stroked the jade pillar. His eyes flickered, and through this jade pillar and those previous fragments, he was able to judge many things.

"The wind here seems to have gotten stronger..."

Someone spoke in a low voice, his face etched with worry. It meant the secret realm was collapsing at an accelerated rate, leaving them with little time. They had to find a solution quickly.

Just as Xin Shao was about to speak, a shout suddenly came from afar. A youth in gray robes flew over here hurriedly after discovering something.

"Young Master!"

"Lao Shi San, you have entered the Nascent Soul realm, how can you still be so impetuous What happened" Xin Shao Zhu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

>

When reprimanded by the young master, the gray-robed youth's face flushed with shame. He glanced at Qin Sang and said, "My lord, we found something unusual, but we are not sure what it is. The Grand Elder is guarding the place and we dare not act rashly. I was ordered to invite you there."

Xin Shaozu hummed in response, her expression serene, as if she had known this all along. She wasn't in a hurry to move and politely asked Qin Sang, "Elder Qin, is there any possibility of repairing these jade pillars"

"It can be repaired, and it doesn't have to be done by a master blacksmith. You called me over for such a trivial matter," Qin Sang said.

"This is a matter of great importance, and I dare not be careless. Will restoring these jade pillars be able to prevent the collapse of the secret realm" Xin Shaozu said with hope in his eyes.

“Sure, but only temporarily. These jade pillars are clearly not complete in number. To thoroughly stabilize the secret realm, new jade pillars must be refined and added.”

Qin Sang pondered for a moment and said, "The spiritual materials needed to refine the Jade Pillar, you probably can't gather them now, right"

Young Master Xin sighed: "Opening the secret realm, one can only know its entirety. Although this junior prepared in every way before, it's impossible to be perfectly thorough. I wonder if the senior has time, and after we exit, we will gather the spiritual materials..."

Qin Sang waved his hand, interrupting Xin Shao's words. "As I said, as long as you understand the method, refining jade pillars is not difficult. Once these jade pillars are repaired and erected, the secret realm will definitely be able to hold for a period of time. I have comprehended the complete method of refining, and I will give it to you. After going out, please ask someone else to refine it."

Qin Sang had not yet agreed to be affiliated with Xin Shao. He let the Xin family rely on him instead.

Even if he agreed, it would still be the Xin family doing things for him, not the other way around. He would always do everything himself.

Xin Shao-zhu replied, "This junior obeys!"

Qin Sang wasn't in a hurry to start refining the artifacts. He was also curious about the treasures in the secret realm and told the young man in gray robes to lead the way.

Not long after, they arrived at their destination. The elder who was guarding the place immediately came forward to greet them, seeming to have discovered a precious treasure. His tone was filled with unconcealed joy.

"Young Master, this place may very well contain Heavenfrost Silver!"

Ahead, the fog was still thick, yet a silvery-white mist stood out from the rest. The silver mist remained suspended, and within it came the sound of 'whooshing,' like a spring gushing forth.

>

Qin Sang's eyes flashed with curiosity as he examined the silver mist. It was something he had never seen before, and he had never even heard of the name "Silver Frost Talisman."

Tianshuang Fuyin, sounds like some kind of spiritual material, but there is no mention of it in the classics of the Five Elements Alliance.

“Old Thirteen,” Xin Shaozu called the young man in grey robes forward, and whispered a few instructions.

The young man in gray robes mumbled words under his breath, forming a hand seal. A flicker of light and shadow rippled across his body, then he took a step to the left, leaving behind an illusory shadow resembling a gray wolf.

The gray wolf twisted its neck and suddenly leaped into the silver mist, raising its head to let out a silent howl. Immediately, a layer of silver mist clung to its body.

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

Then, silver mist continuously seeped into the gray wolf's body, soon being absorbed for the most part, revealing its internal scene. It was actually a pool of liquid mercury.

When the gray wolf emerged again, transformed into a silver wolf, it was full of vigor, its body solid and its aura profound. A metamorphosis of some kind had clearly occurred.

Seeing this, the entire Xin family was overjoyed.

"Sure enough, it's the Frost Moon Silver!"

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

Xin Shaozhu also revealed a pleased expression. He noticed Qin Sang's gaze and explained eagerly,

"I report to Elder Qin, the silver of Heavenly Frost Talismans is not a spiritual silver born from heaven and earth, but rather one refined by humans."

“Our Xin family's shadow-shifting art, combined with some special treasures, can undergo a transformation, greatly increasing its power. However, only a few things like the Tianshuang talisman silver meet the requirements.”

"Among them, the TianShuang Fu Yin is the most suitable. The method of refining it has long been lost. By chance, my father found out that there might be TianShuang Fu Yin here, and it could regenerate constantly…"

The constant stream of celestial frost talismans was indeed a treasure trove for the Xin family. They must protect it at all costs.

It was originally man-made, no wonder I had never heard of it before.

Qin Sang held up a drop of Tianshuang talisman silver, feeling it carefully, and couldn't help but whisper in admiration, "Remarkable."

For the moment, Qin Sang couldn't think of any use for the Skyfrost Silver Charms. As a blacksmith, he took a box of them to study later, and the Xin family didn't dare to complain.

The most important thing in the entire secret realm is this pool of celestial frost silver.

Then things were simple. Qin Sang found a place and began repairing the jade pillar.

Xin Shaozu summoned the Xin family cultivators, lining up to refine the Heavenfrost Talisman Silver, strengthening their divine power. These people were the elite and core members of the Xin family. After this trip, the overall strength of the Xin family would inevitably rise to a new level. If one excludes the cultivators at the Refining Void stage, it might even surpass the glory of the previous generation's head of the family.

When the first jade pillar was forged and erected, the trend of the secret realm collapsing indeed eased.

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

Just as Qin Sang and the Xin family were acting together, four streaks of escaping light were flying together in Fengju Yumen, searching for something.

The people in the light were clearly Buddhist disciples, including one monk and three nuns.

The monk had nine cicatrixes on the top of his head, wearing a golden silk kasaya, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, surrounded by golden light, as if bathed in Buddha's light, he was a high priest who had attained enlightenment.

Three nuns were all dressed in azure robes and wearing monk's caps. One of them, even while flying, was silently reciting sutras. Observing her breath, it was clear that her cultivation and attainment were comparable to those of monks.

Two other nuns followed the old nun, one a young woman whose simple robes could not hide her natural beauty. Though she had entered the Buddhist fold, the blue hair visible at the edge of her monk's hat showed that she had not yet been fully tonsured.

Soon, they arrived at a piece of Jian Ge fragment. It was the very fragment where Tian Shan's Purple Micro Palace resided.

Seeing the almost completely destroyed Tian Shan, the young nun suddenly showed a flustered expression and her figure flashed, landing before the mountain.

The ruins before me speak volumes about the terrible events that once transpired here.

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

If anyone had been in the mountains at that time, they too would have been crushed to pieces along with Mount Tian Shan, with little chance of survival.

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

At this moment, all hopes have become bubbles.

The young nun trembled, closing her eyes in pain.

She had searched for a thousand years, yet she was met with such a cruel outcome.

Three people exchanged a look and slowly followed up.

Seeing the young nun's expression, they knew without asking that this was the place they were looking for. They examined Tian Shan, trying to find a favorable sign. Finally, the monk and the old nun exchanged glances and sighed helplessly.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

The monks chanted loudly in Buddhist mantras.

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

Old Ni sighed, a look of compassion in his eyes, "Junior Sister, please be strong."

'Crack!'

A tear of water wetted the ground.

Old Ni opened his mouth, still wanting to continue comforting him, when a violent tremor suddenly shook the air.

This is a tricky one! It seems like you're asking me to translate the content within " >" tags, but there's nothing inside them. Could you please provide some actual text to be translated For example:> I'll be happy to help once you give me something to work with!

The change was too sudden. Besides the young nun who was immersed in grief and unable to extricate herself, the other three were all taken aback.

"Isn't this about to explode with evil wind and ominous thunder" another nun said.

"Something's wrong!"

The monk's expression was grave, his gaze fixed intently on the depths of the Fengju Jade Gate.

The next moment, a bolt of lightning flashed, as if spanning millions of miles, tearing Fengju Yumen apart. Then, a deep and profound aura spread throughout the ancient battlefield!
