Chapter 2435 Arrival
A pale, eerie atmosphere permeated the place, with numerous dark shadows swirling within it. Despite its apparent stability and tranquility, it gave one a sense of spatial disorientation.
The place where Qin Sang stood was shimmering with starlight, her figure appearing and disappearing, as if she had merged into the starry sky.
Amidst the sea of stars, Chenxing twinkled faintly. Gradually, Chenxing brightened slightly, and a faint halo appeared around its edges. It seemed as if another point of light had appeared inside Chenxing. Upon closer inspection, although this point of light was in the position of Chenxing, it was actually a new Chenxing, simply overlapping with the original Chenxing, with the two Chenxing existing in two different spaces.
The original Chenxing was light reflected from external points of light; the new Chenxing belongs to this sea of stars. Qin Sang actually chose this moment to comprehend the Four Symbols Nine Luminaries Sword Formation, condensing Chenxing, one of the Nine Luminaries!
Qin Sang's comprehension of the Nine Luminaries began with the Taiyin Star, originating from the Taiyin Divine Sword. Perhaps due to the difficulty of starting anything, even with the guidance of the Taiyin True Meaning within the Taiyin Divine Sword, progress was slow until recently, when he fused the Taiyin Divine Sword and the Gray Oriole Sword into the Taiyin Spirit Sword, marking a significant breakthrough.
To try and condense a star here is nothing short of a pipe dream, yet Qin Sang did just that. He was single-minded, immersed in the sword formation, using it to sense the star that seemed both close at hand and yet so far away.
The starlight contained a certain divine charm. Qin Sang was able to directly obtain answers to many things that were previously difficult to understand from the starlight, as if the other party had openly and honestly laid out those ultimate principles of heaven and earth and the wonders of the great way in front of him.
If the previous Taiyin True Meaning was a teacher who imparted knowledge and skills, and how much the student could understand and how quickly they could understand depended on the student's talent, then this Chenxing is now directly instilling knowledge into Qin Sang.
He didn't need to understand, he only needed to accept, and his understanding of the celestial bodies, the nine luminaries, and the morning star underwent a tremendous change. When he integrated this understanding into the sword formation, thanks to Tian Yue's guidance and his previous accumulation, Qin Sang's understanding of the sword path actually surpassed his cultivation level, so everything seemed to fall into place naturally.
Qin Sang finally understood why the Xuanwu Star Demon could transform here; it was clearly related to this grand formation. The formation not only contained the wonders of the Xuanwu Sacred Clan and the Seven Northern Mansions, but also the wonders of the planet Mercury. The one who set up this formation must have reached the pinnacle of understanding the Dao of the Stars!
The reason Qin Sang was able to improve so significantly and rapidly was because he was so insignificant compared to his opponent. If his opponent was a vast lake, Qin Sang was a small wooden bucket. Even if he only saw a corner of the lake, the water there would be enough to fill several buckets.
In addition, we must thank the pearl, because it was because of the pearl that Qin Sang was not excluded from the great formation and was able to see the mystery within the great formation!
The subsequent progress was far smoother than expected. The new star brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye, so fast that Qin Sang became somewhat uneasy.
The essence of Taoist cultivation lies in the word "cultivation".
What you get directly from others, rather than what you cultivate yourself, will never truly belong to you.
Qin Sang was no stranger to this kind of thing; he had experienced something similar before. The most memorable time was when the Thunder Ancestor descended upon him in the Divine Court, forcibly breaking through to the Void Refinement stage, and he later spent a long time making up for it. Similarly, Qin Sang would have to re-comprehend the Starry Sky before it could truly belong to him.
If he slows down now, it will take much less time in the future, but the situation doesn't allow him to do so.
The star in the sea of stars grew brighter and brighter, even surpassing the moon to become the brightest star in the sky.
Finally, the new star completely overshadowed the light of the other, its starlight shining brightly, standing out like a crane among chickens in the sea of stars, its light illuminating the entire planet, making the outlines of the stars even more prominent...
Before long, Qin Sang's eyelids trembled slightly as she gazed at the dazzling star, her eyes filled with emotion.
Who would have thought that the first fully formed Nine Luminaries Sword Star in the Four Symbols Nine Luminaries Sword Formation would be Chenxing!
With the appearance of this star, a brand-new sword intent unsurprisingly triggered a change in the sword formation. Qin Sang didn't have time to fully comprehend it before she activated the power of the sword formation and channeled it into the star.
Starlight rippled, and the light of all the stars was absorbed by Chenxing. The sword formation and Qin Sang seemed to merge into Chenxing and then move towards that point of light.
This time, Qin Sang was pleasantly surprised to find that the light spot had not moved away from her.
"feasible!"
The point of light slowly enlarged before him, but he couldn't see what was inside. The point of light, which didn't look very big to the naked eye, resembled a door or an entrance, with a vast space inside. It gave Qin Sang a feeling of immense grandeur and magnificence, while he himself felt insignificant.
Suddenly, Qin Sang tensed up. Even though there was nothing unusual around her, she felt a life-or-death crisis.
At the critical moment, Qin Sang remembered what Qingyuan had said earlier and called out repeatedly, "Fellow Daoist Mo! It's me!"
Before she finished speaking, Qin Sang felt the crisis disappear and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Sang stopped, not daring to move forward rashly. After a moment of silence, she heard a familiar voice.
"Fellow Daoist Qingfeng? What are you doing here?" Mo Yan's voice was somewhat dazed, as if he had just woken up, filled with doubt and wariness.
As a spirit of the artifact, Mo Yan already knew everything upon entering the Ruins of Return.
Back then, the Sage of Painting joined forces with the Xuanwu Sacred Clan, using treasures such as the Landscape Painting and the Xuanwu Sacred Palace as foundation stones to create this realm, transforming it into a boundary wall to seal the cracks in the earth membrane.
Among them, the Jiangshan Map transformed into the spiritual veins of this world, becoming the most important foundation. In order to seal it for a long time and prevent the Jiangshan Map from being taken away, the spiritual veins of this world were suppressed at the bottom of this Ruins.
As the spirit of the artifact, he was also suppressed until the seal on the boundary wall loosened, at which point he awoke, but he was in a daze, unaware of his origins and background, only remembering some fragments and a key.
Originally, all that was needed was to obtain the pearl and enter this secret realm to return to one's original form. However, someone added a seal outside the Ruins of Return, causing the first attempt to enter to fail.
When Mo Yan saw Gui Xu, he finally understood everything. He was the spirit of the artifact, and by merging with the original body, he could restore the landscape painting!
The pearl was no longer of any use to him, so Mo Yan gave it to Qin Sang to completely settle their past karmic ties. Although he helped Qin Sang capture some Star Spirits, it was far less than he had promised, and his ambush of the Plague Lord had failed. Only when one's cultivation reaches a certain level can one truly understand the terrifying nature of karma. After returning to his original form, the future was uncertain, and there would certainly be more hardships ahead. Mo Yan did not want to carry too much karma on his shoulders.
However, he did not expect that Qin Sang would dare to enter the Ruins of Return and still be able to find him!
"Someone sent me to find you, fellow Daoist. That person said you would understand once you saw this," Qin Sang explained repeatedly, holding the scroll in his hands.
Then, Qin Sang's vision blurred, and she found herself on the shore of a lake. In front of her was an Ink Lake, its dark waters completely still, as calm as the Ruins of Return.
'Shuh! '
The scroll broke free from Qin Sang's grasp and shot towards the Ink Lake.
……
Lotus Crossing the Great Marsh.
The seven northern constellations appear in the world, and all the sages enter the constellation of the Dipper.
However, the seven northern constellations were just the beginning. As the stars shone brighter, their light illuminated the entire Lotus Crossing Marshland.
At this time, strange phenomena appeared in many places within the swamp.
……
On the south bank of the Lotus Crossing Great Swamp, cultivators from the southern border were drawn by the strange phenomena within the swamp and gathered here to gaze at it.
Before them lay a great river, its waters rushing and swift.
Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared in the water, as if a hole had appeared in the riverbed, and all the river water was instantly sucked in.
Before the demon cultivators could react, they were locked onto by the suction force, and in an instant, all of them disappeared.
……
Daze Dongfang.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar was heard, and the mountain split open, revealing a dazzling golden light, from which golden rays burst forth.
The golden light was like molten lava, destroying everything in its path, obliterating everything, whether it was demon cultivators or their caves.
……
Various strange phenomena appeared one after another, some bringing opportunities, while others were extremely dangerous, causing countless lives to be lost.
As these unusual phenomena appeared, the energy revealed within them subtly echoed the Seven Mansions of the North in the distance. It seemed that these unusual phenomena were also part of the Xuanwu Sacred Palace!
At this moment, a beautiful figure appeared on the edge of the constellation, the girl who had previously refused to go north to the icy plains.
Her delicate nose wrinkled slightly as she sensed the change in the outside world. A look of surprise appeared on her face, and she chuckled, "'Immortal' really went all out, summoning the entire Xuanwu Sacred Palace. You can all go to the north and fight over it; this place is all mine..."
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared beside her, a thin man. "Chunmu, what did you get from Dou Su? Xuanwu Holy Palace isn't so easy to explore. Why don't we join forces and plunder more treasures before they decide the winner?"
The girl tilted her head, thought for a moment, nodded, and took out a few wisps of spiritual light. "Perfect, you can help me open my eyes..."
Just then, they sensed something, their expressions changed drastically, and they stared intently at the north.
"Such a heavy aura of malevolence!" the thin man exclaimed in surprise.
……
The Arctic ice sheet has undergone tremendous changes.
A terrifying aura enveloped the icy plains, plunging all creatures into unprecedented fear. Even the ferocious beasts, influenced by the six-day-old aura and known for their violent nature, were awakened by their instincts, crawling on the ground, trembling in terror.
The area around the demon saints was already filled with billowing smoke and a murderous aura.
At this moment, all the demon saints looked extremely solemn. Despite the 'Immortal's' repeated reminders, they had not expected that the power of this treasure would be so terrifying. No wonder it was able to capture the two demons, Jinqing and the others.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
……
A fierce wind howled, and the battle cries from the front were deafening. The orderly and boundless army formation resembled a black torrent.
This is a battle formation, where the warriors are fearless of death, with only one word in their hearts—kill!
The almost tangible baleful energy coalesced into black dragons, their terrifying killing intent even impacting the minds of the demon saints. They had never seen such an army before, and had already unleashed their respective domains, but they were suppressed by the baleful energy, watching as the black dragons of baleful energy roamed freely before them.
Faced with the enemy's charge, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. The army charged forward, and the black dragon of murderous energy annihilated any enemy who dared to stand in their way. If it weren't for the 'immortal' guiding them and preparing a backup plan in advance, they might have already been defeated.
No matter how well-trained a normal army is, it is hard for ordinary people to imagine that it could suppress a demon saint with just its military formation.
At this moment, the demon saints saw the outline of a tomb being drawn above the army formation. A continuous stream of troops rushed out of the dark tomb. No matter how many the demon saints slaughtered, they could replenish their ranks, an endless supply.
This tomb seems to be reviving, but its true power has not yet been revealed. Once it is unearthed, its power will likely be even more terrifying than it is now!
"Truly a weapon worthy of military prowess!"
The Great Sage of Pill Stealing was both shocked and longing when he thought of what Fellow Daoist Mu had said before.
Such a treasure exists in the world; no wonder it can become the cornerstone of a world!
He turned his gaze and looked at the approaching demons, including the Great Sage of Beiheng, with a hint of mockery. How laughable that these guys actually dared to dream of subduing such a treasure.
If this treasure possessed a spirit, even a celestial demon might not be able to subdue it!
In the distance, the Great Sage of Beiheng sensed the gaze of the Great Sage of Stealing Pills, let out a cold snort, and his expression darkened further. They had come despite their hardships, only to find this scene before them. The Great Sage of Stealing Pills and his companions could only struggle to hold on, let alone subdue the treasure.
"Turning back is the right path! It's not too late for you all to wake up now," came the voice of the Great Sage Who Stole Pills, admonishing the demons on behalf of the 'Immortal'.
Now, the situation is clear: the power of this treasure far exceeds imagination, and it is almost impossible for cultivators within the realm to subdue it.
They are now only waiting for the 'immortal' to descend. If he can persuade the Great Sage of Beiheng and other demons to submit, he can share some of their burden.
The Great Sage of Beiheng's expression was uncertain. He could naturally see what the situation was like. He had offended the immortal, and now was the best time to make amends.
"I'm here to lend you all a hand!"
Before the Great Sage of Beiheng could speak, the Great Sage of Jialou shouted and charged into the battlefield, and then the Palace Master of Xianlin Palace and the others followed silently.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero!
The Great Sage of Beiheng looked up to the sky and sighed, drawing his spirit sword and chanting incessantly, venting his resentment.
……
Ripples spread across the lake, and a faint shadow slowly emerges from the water.
"Friend Daoist Mo!"
This person was indeed Mo Yan, but his aura felt unfamiliar to Qin Sang.
Previously, Qin Sang couldn't see through Mo Yan, mostly because of the secrets surrounding Mo Yan, and didn't feel that Mo Yan's cultivation level posed a significant threat to him. But now, Mo Yan, like Qing Yuan's incarnation, seemed unfathomable to Qin Sang!
Yunyou and Moyan are both spirits of acquired spiritual treasures, yet they are worlds apart. It is unknown whether the Ziwei Emperor Sword or the Jiangshan Map is stronger or weaker.
Qin Sang's heart stirred, and she looked up at the sky, only to see a crack suddenly appear in the dark sea of clouds.
The sky split open, and a beam of white light tore through the sea of clouds, descending from the sky and revealing Qingyuan's figure above the lake.
"This must be the real person," Qin Sang thought to herself, feeling the pressure on her body instantly disappear. She quickly stepped forward and bowed.
Qingyuan's true form and avatar were exactly the same, except that his aura was more profound. He smiled and nodded to Qin Sang, "This time, we owe a great debt to the Daoist Master."
Then, Qingyuan looked at Moyan, sized him up, and slightly cupped his hands in greeting, "I am Qingyuan. May I ask how I should address you, fellow Daoist?"
Mo Yan returned the greeting with clasped hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, please call me Mo Yan."
