Chapter 2412 Taiyin Spirit Sword
Qin Sang carefully searched through Xiao Mei's belongings again, just to avoid leaving any potential problems.
The Grey Oriole Sword and the fragments of the Divine Sword are still being smelted in the Starfire Furnace. At this time, the Starfire has shrunk by half compared to its initial size. It can only be consumed and cannot be replenished. Once the Starfire is exhausted, the furnace will also become an empty shell.
Qin Sang had a strong interest in Starfire. Although treasures forged with Starfire would be imbued with the power of the stars, their merits outweighed their flaws, making it a top-tier spiritual fire that any weapon refiner would dream of. However, although he could open the Light Tower and use Starfire to refine weapons, he could never figure out how Starfire was created.
If there were a formation here, it would surely be incredibly grand and mysterious!
Time slowly passed, and that spark shrank even further.
Just then, a flash of light appeared beside Qin Sang, and the little Qilin jumped out on its own.
"Why did you come out?"
In fact, the little Qilin had already broken through the Void Refinement stage and could be considered a qualified helper, but Qin Sang had not summoned it yet.
The events that occurred during the little Qilin's tribulation left a deep impression on him. The so-called 'guidance' was backed by at least a powerful being at the level of a demon saint. Perhaps that powerful being was now involved and watching this place. Qin Sang was worried that the little Qilin's aura would be exposed and discovered by the other party, and he did not have a second Thunder Sacrifice Oath.
Unexpectedly, the little Qilin came out on its own. Qin Sang noticed that the little Qilin's expression was strange, and its eyes were fixed on the starlight. With a thought, she asked, "What's inside?"
He followed the little Qilin's gaze and saw the sparks burning fiercely. Although the fireballs had shrunk considerably, the flames were still raging.
During this time, he has been using starlight to forge his sword. Could there be something in the fire that he hasn't discovered yet?
The little Qilin looked up at Qin Sang and let out a whimper.
It could already speak human language, but it didn't like to talk, perhaps because it couldn't argue with the Vermilion Bird.
Through those big, round eyes, Qin Sang understood its meaning and pondered, "Wait a minute..."
As she spoke, Qin Sang made a few hand seals to stabilize the sword embryo, and then nodded to the little Qilin.
'Shuh! '
The little Qilin leaped up and jumped directly into the fire.
Qin Sang intervened, guiding the sparks away from the little Qilin. The little Qilin instantly rushed into the depths of the sparks. The next moment, a look of surprise flashed in Qin Sang's eyes, as she felt that the little Qilin seemed to have grabbed something.
Clearly, that thing had been within the Starfire the whole time, but before Little Qilin made his move, he hadn't sensed it at all.
The flames flickered violently, and then a figure burst out of the fire and jumped in front of Qin Sang.
Qin Sang glanced around and saw that the little Qilin was unharmed. Looking at its mouth, she saw that the little Qilin was holding something that emitted a purple-gold spiritual light.
The little Qilin spat out the object, and its spiritual light flew towards Qin Sang. It turned out to be a purple-gold token.
The token has an ancient design, is nine and a half inches long, and is entirely purple-gold in color. It is heavy in the hand, and although it was just taken out of the starlight, it gives people a warm feeling.
A rune was engraved on the token, the characters were complex and should be an ancient demonic script, but unfortunately Qin Sang did not recognize it.
Qin Sang held the token in his palm and examined it closely. He had initially thought that the token was used to control the Starfire Furnace, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it had nothing to do with the Starfire Furnace.
The origin of this order is unknown, and it is unclear why it ended up here. Was it thrown in when the Seven Mansions of Xuanwu collapsed?
Surprisingly, this token, having been forged by starlight for countless years, not only remained unmarked but also remained completely untouched by the power of the stars. This alone is enough to determine that the token's origins are certainly extraordinary!
"How did you find it?" Qin Sang asked the little Qilin.
The little Qilin opened its mouth and spat out a stream of Qilin fire, which enveloped the token. Immediately, Qin Sang saw the demonic runes on the token flicker and reveal a luster similar to that of the Qilin fire.
"Is this a treasure of the Qilin clan?"
Qin Sang had just poured his true essence and Azure Phoenix Demon Lightning into the token, but it showed no reaction.
The little Qilin nodded slightly, but its expression was somewhat blank. Through its connection with the token, it could determine that the token was related to the Qilin clan, but it did not know the token's true origin.
"The Xuanwu Sacred Palace, the Seven Mansions of Xuanwu... should be the territory of the Xuanwu clan, so why would treasures of the Qilin clan end up here?"
Qin Sang was baffled and, together with the little Qilin, tried various methods, but still couldn't find the answer.
“Since it’s a treasure of the Qilin clan, take it back and study it,” Qin Sang said. “It’s best not to go out casually during this time.”
The little Qilin nodded obediently, swallowed the token, and disappeared back inside.
After all this busy work, the smelting was nearing its end, and Qin Sang's attention returned to the starfire. Within the flames, the sword shadow was clearly visible, with only a thin layer of moonlight remaining, floating on the surface of the sword shadow.
At the final moment, Qin Sang focused her mind once again and devoted all her energy to refining the sword.
The moonlight grew fainter, and the blade of the spirit sword gradually solidified, a brand new spirit sword was about to take shape.
Suddenly, an extremely brilliant light burst forth from the sparks, accompanied by a clear and long sword cry.
Qin Sang gazed at the starlight, her expression solemn.
This sword cry seemed to be the Taiyin Divine Sword bidding farewell to this world; the moonlight was the last ray of afterglow it left for the world.
The Taiyin Divine Sword, also known as the Jade Toad, was an unparalleled divine sword. It was the personal sword of one of the fourteen sword masters of the Sword Pavilion. It followed the Purple Star Sword Venerable in battles across the land with its master, achieving great feats, but ended its life in this way, which is truly lamentable.
If even such a peerless divine sword cannot exist forever, then what in this world can last forever?
The moonlight gradually faded, and the sword's cry also faded away, disappearing into the void.
'Shuh! '
A sword light leaped out of the starlight.
Qin Sang suppressed her emotions, grabbed the sword light, and the spirit sword trembled incessantly in her hand.
The spirit sword still retains the shape of the Grey Oriole Sword, but its material is obviously completely different from before. Even its owner, Qin Sang, can hardly see through it. During the forging process, it was endowed with the power of stars, so it is no exaggeration to say that it has been reborn.
Its spirituality, material, and even power have all been improved by more than one level!
Qin Sang stretched out his finger and gently brushed it across the sword's edge, quietly sensing the familiar yet unfamiliar sword intent.
The Taiyin True Meaning that he was most concerned about was also preserved intact. Qin Sang was pleasantly surprised to find that after the Taiyin True Meaning was integrated into the Gray Oriole Sword, his comprehension of it seemed to be much smoother than before.
Perhaps it was because the Grey Oriole Sword was his personal sword, and he was with it day and night, inseparable from it.
"From now on, you can use the name 'Taiyin' with dignity! I hope that one day, you and I can restore the glory of the Taiyin Divine Sword and not disgrace this name!"
Qin Sang murmured.
The Grey Oriole Sword, now the Taiyin Spirit Sword, transformed into a beam of sword light that soared into the sky, circling around Qin Sang and unleashing its sword energy!
Qin Sang smiled, used her sword technique, and activated the Taiyin Spirit Sword to unleash several sword moves, which she found quite satisfactory.
Putting away the Taiyin Spirit Sword, Qin Sang looked at the Starfire, which was now less than one-tenth of its original size. Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Qin Sang selected a few more suitable spiritual treasures and refined them with the help of the Starfire.
In the end, the once vast spark dwindled to less than the size of a fist, yet Qin Sang remained reluctant to let it go. As the saying goes, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Without knowing how to create a spark, even the best opportunities will ultimately be difficult to sustain.
Amidst the sea of clouds and golden light, Qin Sang stepped out of the light tower and found everything around her normal; the White Dragon King and his wife had not returned.
He took out the token from Mo Yan, but there was no response. It seemed that Mo Yan had not yet opened that 'door'.
"Next, how about we go to the women's dormitory..."
Qin Sang sped away, thinking to herself that although this wasn't the entirety of the Void Mansion, nothing else seemed unusual. Without a clear destination, trying her luck everywhere would only be a waste of time. Meanwhile, there was a place within the Female Mansion displaying a peculiar and unusual phenomenon.
After passing through the archway, it took Qin Sang the same amount of time as before to return to the exit. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly sensed something, paused, and activated her Heavenly Eye Divine Power to look outside.
The outside world was still bright, and the light illuminated two figures, one on the left and one on the right, who were attacking relentlessly, seemingly trying to force their way in.
These two were familiar faces; Qin Sang had seen them outside Dou Su.
"Sure enough, it's here!"
Dou Su remained silent for a long time, and finally some demon cultivators could no longer hold back.
Given their strength and background, even if they don't know ancient demonic arts, given enough time, they might be able to get in.
Qin Sang was glad that she had acted decisively and hadn't wasted any time.
After observing them silently for a while and confirming that they were not traveling together, Qin Sang seized an opportunity and flew away under the protection of the Heavenly Thunder Robe.
The two demon cultivators vaguely sensed something. One of them activated his spiritual eye and scanned the area, but found nothing, which made him suspicious.
At this moment, Qin Sang had already fled far away, leaving the Void Abode without looking back and heading straight for the Women's Abode.
The women's quarters present a completely different scene, filled with colorful auspicious clouds that pile up into mountains, as solid and imposing as real mountains.
The endless cloud mountains appear to be the best-preserved constellation besides the Dipper constellation, but this is not the case. Upon closer inspection, one can see many fragments of the cloud mountains, where clouds merge to form cloud valleys between them, making them appear less fragmented than other constellations.
Qin Sang flew among the clouds and mountains for a while, then his escape light faded, and he frowned as he looked ahead.
Hundreds of miles ahead, one can clearly see that the Yunshan Mountains are divided by a river, which is actually a galaxy composed of shooting stars, with countless shooting stars passing through and disappearing in the galaxy.
This is a never-ending shower of stars, and several figures float beside it.
"I'm late……"
Qin Sang found the situation very troublesome, because these demon cultivators were not as tense as she had imagined; in fact, they were chatting and laughing while testing each other.
Unaware of the relationships among these demon cultivators, Qin Sang dared not reveal himself, otherwise he would be attacked by them all if he exposed his abilities.
Amidst the star shower, meteors streak together, occasionally colliding to burst into beautiful fireworks. It appears chaotic, but Qin Sang perceives a discernible pattern.
But for the time being, he could only watch. This place was different from Xu Su; the power and ferocity of their attacks could not be concealed here.
Qin Sang figured that other places were probably being watched as well, so she decided to wait. Three days passed, during which demon cultivators came and went.
Just then, the token in Qin Sang's hand suddenly vibrated; it was a message from Mo Yan. Qin Sang glanced at Xing Yu, then had no choice but to abandon this opportunity and quietly retreat. She passed through the Nine Heavens Mystic Gang to reunite with Mo Yan.
"Fellow Daoist, you look radiant with joy; you must have returned with a bountiful harvest," Mo Yan's smile was also very pleasant.
"Thanks to you, fellow Daoist, I have made some progress. I wonder how your progress is?" Qin Sang looked around and found nothing unusual.
“I am already confident, but I am worried that the noise will be too great. I need to open the door with all my might. Please help me cover it up,” Mo Yan said confidently.
Qin Sang said "Good" and activated the Azure Phoenix Demon Thunder. The lightning bolts were like silk threads, forming a lightning net. He did not stop and continued to weave the lightning net, layer upon layer, until it became a huge azure net that slowly opened up.
After Qin Sang finished making the arrangements, Mo Yan had already picked up his paintbrush and was concentrating intently.
The brush had no ink, but the inkstone was moved horizontally by the arm, and a stroke was made in the air. The tip of the brush swept across and an iron chain appeared.
The black iron chain looked as if it had been painted, with one end in front of Mo Yan and the other end leading towards Wei Su.
'Shuh! '
Another stroke, the second iron chain!
Six consecutive strokes reveal six iron chains, each leading to one of the six major constellations outside the Dipper constellation.
The six iron chains were all connected to the empty space in front of the inkstone, but there was nothing there.
At this moment, Mo Yan lightly moved his brush, tracing a line between the iron chains, leaving a mark of ink.
Mo Yan's expression became incredibly focused, transforming him into a pure painter, each stroke incredibly gentle and delicate, as if he were sketching a portrait of a lady.
A real scene was presented in his writing.
First, there were several iron rings connecting the iron chains. Then, Mo Yan drew square stones to fix the iron rings. These square stones were piled up to form the well rim. In fact, Mo Yan drew a well.
Qin Sang silently admired the painting from the side, secretly praising Mo Yan's painting skills as truly unparalleled, making it difficult to distinguish the well from a real one.
Finally, Mo Yan also drew the well cover, perfecting every detail and bringing it to life.
"call!"
Mo Yan let out a long sigh of relief, then reached out and grabbed the well cover, lifting it up with force.
'boom! ’
Shockingly, the well seemed to truly exist in this space; the moment the well cover was lifted, the void suddenly trembled violently.
Qin Sang's pupils contracted; he seemed to see a door, a door leading to an unknown space!
The intense vibrations impacted the lightning strike network.
The manhole cover seemed extremely heavy, and Mo Yan struggled to lift it. He put away his brush, gripped the manhole cover with both hands, and used all his strength.
'boom! ’
The well cover was finally lifted by Mo Yan, revealing a deep and mysterious scene inside.
According to Mo Yan, once this 'door' is opened, it will be difficult to close it again.
Qin Sang immediately set up the spirit array she had prepared in advance. With the double protection of the spirit array and the Nine Heavens Profound Qi, unless someone came specifically to visit, they would not be able to find the well if they were just passing by.
The next moment, Qin Sang and Mo Yan rushed into the well and disappeared into it.
……
Outside the constellation of Dou.
The Black Demon King did not follow the Iris into the Dou Su Palace, and the Plague Lord's palace remained there.
The three elders have disappeared.
Inside the golden pagoda, the Plague God lay supine on the cloud couch, deep in thought. Just as Mo Yan lifted the well cover, the Plague God let out a soft exclamation and suddenly sat up, startling Gu Lao, who was meditating cross-legged opposite him.
"Husband, what has happened?" The First Madam hurried over.
Immediately, the three demons focused their gazes on the right palm of the Plague God.
