Chapter 2109 Breakthrough
After Yuan Miao left, Min Shu and the elders of the tribe looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had never dared to think of leaving the envoy sent by the Zhuyan tribe outside for ten days. Yuan Miao's departure in anger was like the collapse of the heavens and the earth for a small tribe.
Since Min Zhuo's breakthrough, his prestige in the clan has been unmatched, and no one dares to question him. Moreover, Min Zhuo had previously revealed to those close to him that there was a mysterious force behind them supporting them.
They just don't want to accept the mediation of the upper clan, not to directly oppose the upper clan, so there is still room for maneuver.
At this point, they had no way out and could only choose to believe the patriarch and use these reasons to comfort themselves.
After a long time, everyone returned to the holy lake with heavy heart.
Min Shu came to the ancestral temple in the center of the lake alone and said respectfully outside the temple: "Father, the envoy of the upper clan has left."
The hall was dead silent. Min Shu waited for a while, but received no response. He hesitated to speak, and finally said, "The envoy left only one sentence when he left, asking us to take care of ourselves."
In the ancestral palace.
Min Zhuo did not practice. He sat cross-legged beneath the ancestral tablet, with the faint candlelight illuminating half of his face.
He stared at the ancestral tablet. This was a crucial choice for him and the entire Changyou tribe. If he lost, the Changyou tribe might not be able to recover for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Although the incense would not be cut off, he himself would not have a good ending.
This is a big gamble. I wonder what our ancestors think of this choice.
There was a part of his heart that drove him to make this choice. However, he did not want to be so resolute, but it was a pity that it was difficult to get off the pirate ship once he got on it.
Some time ago, the mysterious existence sent some orders again. After knowing some of the inside story, Min Zhuo realized that he had no way out and immediately suppressed his other thoughts, but at the same time he also had the confidence to confront the Zhuyan clan.
Min Shu's voice came in, but Min Zhuo turned a deaf ear to it.
In the quiet hall, the shadows on the ground swayed with the candlelight, floating like rootless duckweed.
……
Yuan Miao left Shengmuyuan and returned directly to Yan Island.
Seeing Yuan Miao return alone, Qin Sang and Si Lu could guess something and went forward to greet him, "I wonder what the attitude of Chief Min Zhuo is?"
"Humph!"
Yuan Miao looked unhappy, "I didn't get to see him!"
Qin Sang and Si Lu were both very surprised that Yuan Miao was turned away by Min Zhuo. Was there any hidden story behind this?
Yuan Miao was still furious. "Don't talk about misunderstandings! Min Zhuo is clearly unwilling to accept my mediation. If he had just explained it to me, I wouldn't have forced him to do anything. But he resorted to such means. It's really annoying!"
Si Lu comforted him, "Maybe Min Zhuo thought that it would be embarrassing to reject you in person, so he might as well find a reason to avoid you. He underestimated your magnanimity."
Yuan Miao sighed, "It seems that the hatred between you two cannot be resolved. The Changyou tribe is determined to go its own way, but with the ancient covenant in front of us, I can't really let it go, lest the tragedy of genocide occur..."
Qin Sang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid this battle is beyond the control of Qin. We only have a few experts and no outside support, while Min Zhuo has many helpers and is very confident. It should be the enemy's attack and our defense. Qin can only protect himself."
"Fellow Daoist, you must have been holding back. With your strength, those who can beat you are all top experts. They rarely go out, and most of them are in seclusion, preparing for the trip to Yuanjiaohai City. The Changyou tribe should not be able to invite them. However, I didn't expect that Chief Minzhuo could invite so many helpers and have such a wide range of friends..."
Yuan Miao frowned, realizing that Qin Sang was the only one here and he couldn't make any conclusion.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Miao said goodbye: "I want to go to the Yonghe tribe to meet the leader of the Zaizhen tribe. See you later."
"Fellow Daoist, walk slowly."
Qin Sang and Si Lu bowed and saw him off.
Yuan Miao's running around might not necessarily yield good results, but by stirring up troubled waters he could continue to delay time, which was something Qin Sang was happy to see.
After seeing Yuan Miao off, Qin Sang fell into deep thought.
Min Zhuo’s attitude is very interesting.
During the confrontation at Canglang Sea, Min Zhuo's words before leaving clearly showed his intention to make peace, but now his attitude has changed drastically and become so resolute.
What is the reason for the drastic change in attitude, and what changes have happened to the Changyou tribe during this period?
Accidents can come from two sources: external and internal.
If it was from outside, Min Zhuo might have found a stronger helper, or he might have been forced by others, or there might be other forces eyeing the Storm Realm!
Qin Sang thought to himself that after entering the sea of fog, he had acted cautiously and had not done anything out of the ordinary. The only variable around him was Si Lu.
According to common sense, Silu's identity should not be leaked so quickly.
Of the two companion beasts that were exposed before, the red-feathered demon bird is called Yulie Bird. Because this companion beast has excellent escape techniques and strong combat power, it is very versatile and is very popular in the Siyou tribe.
The Feather Bird has a chance to transform into the Feather King Bird. The difference is that the Prince Siyou can obtain the purer Feather Bird blood essence, while the blood essence obtained by the common people has mixed power, the companion beast is weak, and the chance of transformation is also small.
The white sable is called the ethereal sable, an extremely rare companion beast, but it is very similar to the common companion beast, the frost sable, and even most of their magical powers are the same.
The Feathered Flamebird and the Frost Marten are one of the most common companion beast combinations of the Siyou tribe. Even if someone sees them, they will not directly associate them with Silu.
Unless the Siyou clan had already planted spies in the Zhuyan clan, the appearance of a Siyou clan master of unknown origin at this time would definitely arouse the other party's vigilance.
Since Si Lu had a strange demon guard by her side and the whereabouts of Xia Changshi was unknown, they did not dare to act rashly. So it was reasonable for them to secretly drive the Changyou tribe to test the waters.
But what is strange is that if it was just for testing, why didn’t the other party send a master? With the strength of Min Zhuo, Zai Zhen and others, what details can they find out?
As it turned out, they didn’t even see their own Dharma bodies and retreated in a hurry.
Qin Sang felt that it didn't make sense, so what about looking for the reason from Min Zhuo?
Perhaps, Min Zhuo had never thought about making peace. Last time, he saw that his side was very powerful and felt that he had no chance of winning. Those words were just to reassure himself.
Putting himself in other people's shoes, if Qin Sang were Min Zhuo, as the only powerful person in the tribe who had reached the second level of the Void Realm, the best thing for him to do now would be to stay still rather than move.
He pretended to be in harmony with the Storm Realm, consolidated his cultivation, practiced magical powers, quietly expanded the tribe, and formed alliances. He waited until the holy land opened in Yuanjiao Sea City, and then entered the holy land to look for opportunities.
The people in the Storm Realm are all outsiders and have no chance to enter the holy land. As one gains, the other loses, and the advantage of the Changyou tribe will become greater and greater.
At worst, the Qingling Qi could be divided equally to temporarily appease the Storm Realm. Anyway, the Changyou Clan was unable to monopolize it in every previous fight.
They have been fighting with the Storm Realm for nearly a thousand years. Could it be that Min Zhuo's patience has been exhausted and he is not willing to wait even a moment longer?
Also, Min Zhuo was able to invite so many powerful people to help at once. Before, any one of them could easily destroy the Storm Realm. However, he would rather let his clan suffer heavy casualties and persist in the siege for a long time than ask for help.
Is it simply because you don’t want the Qing Ling Qi to be exposed?
Qin Sang felt that things were not that simple.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The Changyou tribe's series of unreasonable actions made Qin Sang feel full of doubts.
What treasures are there in the Storm Realm that Min Zhuo is willing to do anything to get?
Qin Sang thought of two options. One was the treasure from Ziwei Palace, and the other was the greatest opportunity after ascending to the Storm Realm - the Qingling Qi!
What is the source of the Qingling Qi?
Qin Sang had tried it before, and he also felt the danger there when the tide was high. After breaking through the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm, he went back again, and the feeling was even more obvious. The danger not only came from the source of the Qingling Qi, but also from the threat coming from deep in the filthy land.
The filthy place is the Sin River.
Qin Sang knew that there were not only ferocious beasts in the fusion stage in the Nie River, but also countless dangers lurking. If he stirred up trouble there, it might alarm the terrifying creatures in the Nie River, which would be tantamount to seeking his own death.
You have to wait until the tide goes out before you have a chance to go in.
In the past, when the foul air receded, the Storm Realm's combat power was no more than the Spiritualization Stage, and the Changyou Clan could stop them from entering. But this time was different, as the Storm Realm had several Void Refining experts, and the Changyou Clan could no longer stop them.
Is this the reason why Min Zhuo is taking such a gamble?
Qin Sang narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely grasping some clues, but there was no solid evidence yet, so he had to be on guard in other aspects.
He must devote all his energy to building the altar. Once the Thunder Altar is completed, he will have the confidence to remain unmoved no matter which direction the wind blows!
While Qin Sang was thinking, Si Lu stood quietly by his side without disturbing him.
Coming back to his senses, Qin Sang said to Si Lu, "Please go to Canglang Sea again and take charge of the branch altar there to urge them to build the altar as soon as possible."
"it is good!"
Si Lu rode on a flying light and headed straight for the Canglang Sea.
Qin Sang returned to Qingyang Temple and made some arrangements. He continued to let the Dharmakaya sit at the main altar, while the original Buddha and the Dharma Image traveled west and personally sat at another branch altar.
This branch altar is prepared for Suzaku. Once Suzaku breaks through, it will be in charge.
Zhuque has been in seclusion again, and there has been no news recently. However, Qin Sang believes that when Zhuque comes out next time, it will be the time for him to break through to the realm of refining emptiness!
The Western Territory Branch is located at the border between the Western Territory and the former Demon Sea Monster Clan’s territory.
The Monster Sea Clan and the Four Saints Palace did not withdraw all their forces. Some tribes and sects chose to stay. Qin Sang dispersed them to various places and asked them to be responsible for building the altar.
The location of this core branch altar was originally a forbidden area of the Four Saints Palace, located between a lake.
Qin Sang flew into the air and saw the sparkling water below, with lakes scattered all over the place. After looking for a while, he found that these lakes seemed to be able to move and change unpredictably.
The formation here was refined by Qin Sang anew. He flashed into the formation and landed above a lake.
Above the lake, a crystal bridge is built, with pavilions and towers in between, all of which are exquisite and elegant.
"Huh? Qin..."
Bao Xi walked out of an attic and happened to see Qin Sang. He subconsciously wanted to call him Daoist friend, but he quickly bowed and said, "Bao Xi greets the Great Immortal!"
"Why should you be so polite, my friend? You are being so distant for no reason," Qin Sang said with a smile.
Seeing Qin Sang as usual, Bao Xi couldn't help but relax and said, "Master Huaiyin is looking after the Western Land and also has to guard against enemies from the West. It's difficult to take care of both. My brother specifically ordered me to stay and wait for you to send me."
The two discussed some matters, and Bao Xi remembered something and waved behind him.
"Shuang'er, Lu'er, why don't you come and pay your respects to the Great Master."
Two girls walked out of the attic. They were twin girls with pretty faces and shy looks.
They looked like Bao Xi's maids, but they were not dressed like maids. They lowered their heads, their faces full of nervousness. They walked up to Qin Sang in small steps, bowed, and spoke in a crisp voice.
"Junior pays homage to the Great Immortal."
Bao Xi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Shuang'er, Lu'er and Daoist Fellow have some connections. They are from Lingchun Island and have outstanding talents. I am happy to see them, so I discussed with their master and asked them to stay by my side to help me."
Lingchun Island...
Qin Sang looked at the twin girls and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
Lu'er was the younger sister and seemed more lively. When she didn't hear a response, she couldn't help but look up, secretly glanced at Qin Sang, then quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding with nervousness.
After a while, they finally heard the Great Immortal's question.
"What kind of skills do you practice?"
"Your Excellency, we sisters are both practicing our sect's true teaching, the 'Su Xin Jing'," Shuang'er replied respectfully.
Qin Sang hummed, "Bring the technique here, I'll take a look."
"This……"
Shuang'er hesitated and looked at Bao Xi.
"Silly girl, would the great master covet your skills? If you hesitate for a moment longer, you will miss this great opportunity," Bao Xi spat.
Shuang'er's pretty face turned red, and Lu'er could no longer wait. She took out the jade slip and presented it respectfully, her eyes full of anticipation.
Qin Sang took a quick look and found that this technique was quite sophisticated, but it could only reach the late Nascent Soul stage, and this realm was not yet perfect.
Bao Xi said: "My brother and I have tried to help them deduce several times. Due to our limited talents, there are mistakes and omissions. I hope you can correct me."
Qin Sang took the lead and after a moment of contemplation, he probed his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip.
He was very attentive this time. Starting from the Qi Refining Stage, he modified the technique bit by bit. Under the shocked gazes of the three women, he quickly pushed the technique to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Shuang'er and Lu'er were dumbfounded. This was still the technique they were familiar with, but many details were completely different from what they remembered. It was precisely these changes that were the most difficult and tortuous parts of their past comprehension.
Before they even started practicing, the two women could already tell that this technique had improved their skills by more than one level.
"This method is enough for you to practice. When I have free time, I will continue to deduce it and send someone to deliver it to your master."
Qin Sang withdrew his spiritual consciousness and returned the jade slips to the two women.
……
bottom of the lake.
Qin Sang sat cross-legged on top of the core altar, motionless.
The core branch altar has not yet been completed, but it has established a connection with the main altar, and can sense every slight change in the branch altars under its jurisdiction, and is well aware of the progress of the altar construction of various sects and schools.
Building an altar is not an easy task. Even if Qingyang Temple distributes spiritual materials, it is still a great test of the people who build the altar. After a long time, slackness is inevitable.
Under normal circumstances, this would not be a big deal, but now it is something Qin Sang cannot tolerate. He orders Bao Xi to organize people to patrol the country and pass on the message to all directions.
Under his close supervision, altars sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
Yuan Miao has not returned yet, and the Changyou tribe has remained on hold. This is a rare period of peace.
Just as the Storm Realm was preparing for war, Qin Sang suddenly felt a touch of touch. He opened his eyes and looked at his own Qi sea. He sensed the thoughts from the Tianmu Butterfly and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Finally a breakthrough..."
