Chapter 2465 Perfect Completion of Merit
After refining the last bit of Star Spirit power, a phoenix cry suddenly emanated from Qin Sang's body, and the Azure Luan Dharma Image left her body and hovered above her head.
Compared to the past, the Azure Phoenix's image is even more radiant, its phoenix eyes sparkling with brilliance, exuding an unparalleled aura of self-confidence.
"The mission is finally accomplished!"
The Azure Phoenix Dharma Form and the True God spoke these words simultaneously, their overlapping voices echoing around him.
For over a hundred years, he entrusted all other matters to Qin Hou and the others, continuously refining star spirits and advancing his cultivation. Finally, he mastered the sixth level of "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" and reached its peak!
Looking back, no one could have predicted that he would be able to cultivate this technique to its peak so quickly, even surpassing his main cultivation technique, the "Purple Star Sword Scripture".
Logically speaking, he should have chosen to focus on the "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" technique long ago and devoted more of his energy to it.
Qin Sang, the original form of the Buddha, and Fa Xiang simultaneously raised their heads and gazed at the night sky.
Just as the storm subsided, the night sky was clear and bright, with a beautiful moon and a multitude of stars as companions. Among the stars, there was a very special star, which was his destiny star!
When Qin Sang takes that step of entrusting his demon soul to the star, his destiny star will be the only choice, the star closest to him.
As her cultivation level gradually increased, Qin Sang's perception of her destiny star became clearer, and she could clearly sense that the 'distance' between herself and her destiny star was slowly closing.
But here's the problem: so far, he can only sense the existence of the Destiny Star, but he can't 'see' that star!
Qin Sang's heart sank deeper and deeper. She had thought that things might be different once she achieved perfect merit, but the changes she had expected did not happen.
The deep sky was dotted with countless stars, all visible, yet his destiny star remained elusive. The star region where his destiny star resided was shrouded in darkness. Qin Sang employed various spiritual vision techniques, searching countless times, but to no avail!
is this normal?
Qin Sang was filled with doubts, but unfortunately, no one could help him verify it; Qin Hou and the others were still far from being able to do so.
If something is not working properly, where is the problem?
Looking back, ever since I entered the sixth level of "Heavenly Demon Refining Form," it has been full of surprises. My advancement in cultivation has always been accompanied by various fortuitous encounters. First, I dreamt for a thousand years in the Holy Land of the Otherworldly Race, and when I awoke, my cultivation had greatly improved. Later, I obtained a Star Spirit, and with its help, I made rapid progress at an abnormal speed, which always gave people the feeling of forcing growth.
Could it be that I was so focused on improving my cultivation that I neglected or missed something along the way? Is perfection just an illusion, hiding a flaw that I'm unaware of?
Or is there a problem with the technique itself?
Considering that even the dragon and phoenix clans have abandoned ancient demonic arts, it can only mean that the hidden dangers of these ancient arts are immense, causing the entire demon race to change course. If even they cannot resolve this, Qin Sang certainly wouldn't be so arrogant as to think he could do it alone.
Unless there is an opportunity to consult with the powerful figures of the New Demon Court in person, they must have a way to resolve the hidden dangers, perhaps through the so-called Mahayana path.
Qin Sang had no clue where to look for them.
Putting aside the hidden dangers of the cultivation technique, Qin Sang couldn't even see her destiny star. How could she dare to break through with peace of mind and relocate her soul to it?
Regardless of the reason, if these problems are not resolved, Qin Sang will find it difficult to convince herself to continue down this path.
A dreamlike light enveloped half of Qin Sang's body. He played with two dream seeds in his hand, pondered for a long time, and then put the dream seeds away.
Such a treasure that can help break through the Integration Stage is becoming increasingly rare. With the future of "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" uncertain, Qin Sang was reluctant to waste the Dream Seed here.
Looking back, Qin Sang's initial intention in cultivating the "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" was to improve her combat power, but she never expected that cultivating demonic arts in a human body could take her so far. Now she has achieved her set goals, and even far exceeded her expectations.
but……
"I'm still a little unwilling to accept it!"
Qin Sang sighed softly. It was no easy feat to cultivate the "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" to this level, having consumed countless efforts and time. To stop now would mean all her previous efforts would be wasted, so how could she be willing to accept it?
"Fusion, Demon Soul Star Conversion, Law Domain..."
Qin Sang murmured to himself, and both his true form and the Azure Phoenix Dharma Image slowly closed their eyes, deeply contemplating something. In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.
Regardless of whether to continue or not, I had to try to see what it felt like to break through to the Fusion Stage. However, I made no progress for a year, and the bottleneck seemed unbreakable.
"Is this an attempt to break through to a higher realm, or is it a bit too hasty, lacking the feeling of things falling into place naturally..."
Qin Sang gently shook her head, deciding to relax.
Now, there's no need to worry about his combat strength. If it's a life-or-death battle, and he uses all his trump cards, he'll probably have no rivals in the Void Refinement stage. With just his Dharma Aspect and Mount Daiyu, he can resolve the vast majority of troubles.
The cultivation of "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" is not going smoothly, so for the time being, I can only place my hopes on "Purple Star Sword Scripture". Fortunately, this technique is not far behind.
If the construction of the altar and the establishment of the governance proceed smoothly, one can continue to comprehend the Mahayana path of killing.
Of course, it would be even better if we could get the support of the Daoist court.
As things gradually get back on track, it's time to start preparing for a breakthrough.
Cultivators at the Integration Stage are extremely rare, demonstrating how difficult it is to break through. It is very difficult to achieve this without relying on external aids or one's own talent.
Qin Sang already has two Dream Seeds, and there are two more that are likely to be achieved: the Heavenly Eye Butterfly and the Sword Domain.
The Tianmu butterfly is still asleep; we must wait for it to wake up before we can make our move.
It now seems almost impossible for the Heavenly Eye Butterfly to break through to the seventh transformation before him, unless there is an extraordinary stroke of luck. As a second-best option, if the Heavenly Eye Butterfly reaches the peak of the sixth transformation when Qin Sang breaks through, it can also help him, and this condition is not difficult.
In addition, comprehending one's own sword domain in advance will undoubtedly be of great help in breaking through.
Master Tianyue gave him a seed, and Qin Sang also made good progress in deducing the Four Symbols and Nine Luminaries Sword Formation.
Next, the most important thing is to deduce the sword formation and integrate the sword domain, so we have to put "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" aside for the time being.
"There's another problem: the tribulation of inner demons!"
Qin Sang frowned. This was a problem he had deliberately ignored before, but now he had to face it.
It all started when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in the Storm Realm.
At that time, he was cultivating the "Heavenly Demon Illumination Scripture" and attracted the will of the Heavenly Demon to help him break through, but he was unaware of the existence of the Heavenly Dao Demonic Sound, which caused the Heavenly Demonic Will to be severely damaged. Soon after, another, even stronger will descended.
From that moment on, Qin Sang knew that she had been targeted by the extraterrestrial demons.
From the Void Refining stage onwards, when cultivators undergo the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, shaking the heavens and earth, extraterrestrial demons will seize the opportunity to attack, descending along with their inner demons. Someone like Qin Sang, who has already been targeted, will definitely receive special treatment.
Back in the Talisman Realm, in a critical moment, Qin Sang deliberately lured in a Heavenly Demon, using a tiger to devour a wolf, thus surviving a calamity. This also made Qin Sang certain that the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm that she had provoked was no ordinary demon.
I still remember that the demon suffered a backlash, but it shouldn't have fallen so easily. So many years have passed, has its injury healed, or is it still waiting for me?
The jade Buddha could only protect Qin Sang's primordial spirit and mind, but the extraterrestrial demons had countless strange methods.
Thinking of this, Qin Sang got up and walked deeper into the cave. In the innermost cave, the red light was dazzling, mixed with a few striking golden lights.
Qin Sang transplanted the Phoenix Blood Tree and ordered Qin Hou to select several trustworthy Yuanlu people to study how to cultivate the Phoenix Blood Tree.
As expected, Yuanlu Ren lived up to his reputation, possessing extraordinary abilities. He gradually discovered the various characteristics of the Phoenix Blood Tree, found suitable spiritual objects, and continuously improved the cultivation method. The Phoenix Blood Tree not only recovered to its original state, but also grew half a foot taller in the past hundred years. Its date-shaped fruits were the size of a fist and were almost ripe.
The Vermilion Bird guarded the tree all day long, counting its fruits every day, fearing that someone would steal them.
Not long after obtaining the phoenix blood and phoenix feathers, it broke through to the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm. Qin Sang could sense that the Vermilion Bird had undergone subtle changes, but since the Vermilion Bird did not say anything, he did not press it for details.
All signs indicate that Zhuque has regained some of her memories. Although she is still as impulsive as before, Qin Sang can no longer treat her as an immature little girl. She needs to give this former powerful figure a certain amount of respect.
Hearing footsteps, Zhuque lifted her eyelids, her sleepiness vanishing instantly, replaced by a look of alertness.
"Do you need to treat me like a thief?"
Qin Sang was both amused and exasperated.
Zhuque snorted, its eyes clearly showing distrust. Qin Sang had no way to deal with it, so she shook her head, pondered for a moment, and then expressed her concerns.
He deliberately concealed some secrets and asked Zhuque if there was any way to deal with the extraterrestrial demons, preferably by setting traps in advance to lure them in and eliminate the threat in one fell swoop.
When Qin Sang expressed her concerns in a serious tone, Zhuque gloated, "You're a real jinx! You've definitely provoked some kind of demon! What if it's a Mahayana stage being? Even if the main body can't descend directly, it can easily deal with you. Ordinary methods are useless!"
Qin Sang smiled wryly, "That's why I need your help to think of a solution."
Who could have imagined that the "Heavenly Demon Illumination Scripture," cultivated in order to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, would sow such a huge hidden danger?
Unexpectedly, Zhuque said with a relaxed expression, "If you're so afraid of extraterrestrial demons, why don't you just undergo your tribulation in the Ruins of Return?"
"What? Return to the Void?" Qin Sang asked in surprise.
“I’ve said it before, the tranquility of Guixu can suppress inner demons. Of course, it’s the secret realm of heaven and earth that the extraterrestrial demons fear the most. Moreover, you said that the demon suffered a great loss at your hands. If it finds you in Guixu, won’t it be afraid that it’s another trap and dare not make a move? As long as you can get through this, one day when you break through to the Mahayana stage, you won’t have to be so afraid,” said Zhuque.
Qin Sang hadn't expected that Guixu could resist external demons, but upon closer examination, it was indeed possible.
Even if Guixu can't stop that demon, as long as the demon has some reservations and doesn't dare to come down in person, or even if it sends other demons under its command to harass it, I still have a good chance of surviving this calamity.
"But..." Qin Sang looked doubtful, not entirely trusting Zhuque, "Transcending tribulation in Guixu isn't that simple, is it?"
"Of course it won't be simple! First, you need to be able to resist the assimilation of the Void, and even the Heavenly Tribulation might undergo unpredictable changes due to the environment of the Void. As for whether there are any other hidden dangers, you can only ask Xuanwu. I'm just telling you one method..."
The Vermilion Bird spread its wings.
Qin Sang tapped his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. Where was he supposed to find Xuanwu now?
Moreover, Guixu and everything in the Demon Realm have probably been taken over by the New Demon Court. How can I convince the New Demon Court to let me enter Guixu to undergo my tribulation? I don't even know where the New Demon Court is.
Should we go to Beihai again to ask Senior Qingyuan for a favor?
Zhuque is right. No matter how slim the hope, at least it's a way, and we have a direction to strive for.
Qin Sang wanted to ask a few more questions, but Zhu Que became impatient and told her to leave. Helpless, Qin Sang had no choice but to go outside.
……
'Shuh! '
A flash of sword light emerged from the darkness.
The sword light transformed into countless stars, and Qin Sang sat cross-legged among them, focusing her mind on the faint moon shadow.
With things done one by one, the "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" technique was completed. Next, Qin Sang planned to continue deducing the sword formation, among which the Taiyin Star and Chen Star formations should have been perfected long ago.
In the silent cave, as time passed, the outline of the moon in the sea of stars became clearer and clearer. Although the starlight was dazzling, it could not obscure the gentle moonlight.
The moonlight, like water, flows through the starry sky, seemingly able to smooth out the sharpness of the starlight, but it seems a bit too much; without sharpness, what kind of sword formation is it?
Qin Sang emerged from meditation at some point, gazing at the lonely bright moon, and softly said, "The balance of Yin and Yang is the way of nature."
The reason is very simple: the sword formation has the moon but not the sun, it has the yin energy but not the yang energy.
During a battle of wits, this could become a weakness that the enemy could exploit.
As the moon gradually became fuller, Qin Sang was not in a hurry to comprehend the sun star, and turned her gaze to the morning star instead.
At this moment, Qin Sang sensed that someone had triggered the cave's protective barrier.
'Shuh! '
The sword's gleam faded, and it was sheathed in his sleeve.
"Come in!"
It was Qin Hou who entered.
"The branch altars in various locations have all been established, and altar masters have been selected for each one. The necessary items for the two main altars have also been prepared in accordance with Master's instructions..."
"Finally finished."
Qin Sang stood up to avoid any mistakes, as he intended to personally forge the altar. However, he allowed the disciples of the Five Thunder Academy to refine the spiritual materials ahead of time. Qin Sang instructed Qin Hou and the others not to rush and to strive for perfection.
After more than a hundred years of deduction, Qin Sang has developed a mature idea of how to repair Jingtan, and should be able to complete it in one go.
They walked out of the cave, and Qin Sang looked Qin Hou up and down and congratulated him.
Qin Hou responded with a wry smile, "Thank you for passing on the teachings, Master. My cultivation has been fully restored, but breaking through will not be so easy."
"You have a long life ahead of you, so there's no need to rush things. Instead, reflect on the past and summarize your gains and losses..."
Qin Sang was speaking from his own experience. He and Qin Hou were not of the same clan, so he could only guide him in this insightful and concise way, hoping that Qin Hou could gain some understanding.
"Where are those two guys?"
"They lingered in the Crimson Melt Kingdom, listening to Chi Lei's message that the White Crane's progress was quite good," Qin Hou said with an ambiguous smile.
"Baihe's abilities in this area are still trustworthy," Qin Sang smiled.
Upon returning, Qin Sang learned that the Crimson Rong Kingdom was powerful and that the Moon Fairy seemed to hold a high position there. Qin Sang then became even more supportive of Bai He, encouraging them to frequently visit the Crimson Rong Kingdom to strengthen their relationship. Bai He, of course, readily agreed.
If a marriage alliance with the Crimson Fusion Kingdom can be successfully established, it may be able to secure external assistance.
Of course, matters of the heart cannot be forced; consider them as a casual game.
