Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2472 Sincerity

It turns out that the Great Wind Plains was once plagued by six days of ancient energy. Qin Sang suspects that the current raging wind disaster in the Great Wind Plains is related to the collapse of the Divine Court. Although the ancient energy of the six days has not returned, it has caused the primordial energy of heaven and earth to be disordered, and there will never be peace.

Qin Sang continued to peruse the ancient books, while Ling Xi rushed to the treasures stored to the side. With a glance, he recognized several heirloom treasures that only existed in the legends of the Ling people, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

These treasures alone will greatly increase the strength of the Ling people, and the revival of the tribe is in sight!

Just then, Qin Sang and Ling Xi suddenly heard a tearing sound, and their expressions changed slightly.

"Oh no, the secret vault is about to collapse!"

The secret array had been holding on until now, but it was nearing its limit. It was fortunate that it hadn't been destroyed by the changes in the earth's veins. With Qin Sang and Ling Xi entering, it finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Without having time to check, Qin Sang quickly stored all the treasures into the small cave, then with a wave of her sleeve, erased all traces.

'Rumble...'

Suddenly, the earth shook and mountains trembled. Several streaks of light flew out from the Moon Pot Pavilion, then turned in mid-air and rushed towards the mountain wall, disappearing into the ground.

Soon, several figures appeared beside the secret vault. They were all beautiful fox spirits. Their most distinctive features were their fluffy fox ears and their long, alluring eyes, which gave them a sense of holiness, like the bright moon in the sky, pure and spotless. These two completely different qualities were perfectly blended into one, enough to make any man in the world fall head over heels for them.

Upon seeing the scene before them, their pretty faces showed expressions of shock. Who would have thought that a secret was hidden beneath their cave?

At this time, Qin Sang had already left Moon Cauldron and did not choose to kill to silence witnesses. Firstly, the treasure was already in his hands, so even if the secret vault was discovered, it wouldn't be a big deal. Secondly, this place was someone else's dojo after all, and it was too close to Cloud Fox City. If it attracted the strongmen of Cloud Fox City, things would get out of hand and alarm the entire Heavenly Fox Upper Kingdom, which would be a loss.

Qin Sang, who had flown far away, was naturally unaware of what was happening behind her.

The great array supporting the secret vault almost completely collapsed, and all the treasures were taken away by Qin Sang. The fox maidens of Moon Pot Pavilion only saw ruins.

Gazing at the collapsed secret vault, the pretty young girl inside seemed to remember something. She leaned closer to a woman in palace attire and whispered, "Auntie, could this be the place that the ancestor was looking for?"

The woman in palace attire possessed an elegant and dignified air, the allure between her brows now barely visible; her beauty was as pure and fragrant as fine wine aged over time.

Upon hearing the girl's words, the woman in palace attire frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

They are not Cloud Fox people; the blood of Moon Fox flows in their veins. As far as she knows, many years ago, an ancestor was searching for something and kept searching until he reached the vicinity of Cloud Fox City. When the clues suddenly went cold, he was unwilling to give up, so he set up Moon Pot Cottage here and left behind a lineage.

No clues have been found to this day. The grandmaster has long since stopped paying attention to this matter. However, Moon Pot Cottage is an excellent place for cultivation, and she has lived here for a long time and has no intention of moving away.

They had almost forgotten their original intention in establishing Moon Cauldron, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and right beneath their feet. If their grandmaster knew, would he be heartbroken?

"We can't be sure if this is the place yet, and there seems to be nothing here..." Up to this point, they still hadn't found any trace of Qin Sang. Although the woman in palace attire had some suspicions, she had no evidence.

In any case, we must send back a talisman to report to that grandmaster.

Unaware that her departure had stirred up further trouble, Qin Sang flew out of Tianhu Shangbang in one breath.

In a newly discovered cave.

Qin Sang carefully categorized and put away the acquired books and treasures. It was clear that the Ling people had a profound foundation, and the treasures in the secret vault were of considerable value. Qin Sang returned the treasures suitable for the Ling people to Ling Xi, and the remainder would be used to strengthen the Jiao Sheng Kingdom.

Among these treasures, Qin Sang discovered an imperial edict bestowing the title of Lord of the Fu River. It should be that an ancestor of the Ling people was appointed as the water god of the Fu River, which shows that the Ling people had submitted to the Daoist court and held a high position.

As for those ancient texts, they don't actually record many secrets of the Daoist court. They mainly record the history of this branch of the Lingren, more like a family genealogy. Back then, the Lingren's status was probably not high enough to know the secrets of the Daoist court. What they recorded were often major events that everyone knew, and their credibility is questionable. Qin Sang could only glean a little bit of the history of that era from a few words.

In fact, Qin Sang's understanding of the Dao Court was also very superficial. The books he saw in the Talisman Realm were all books that the Dao Court wanted him to see.

Therefore, Qin Sang also found many contents in the Lingren's classics difficult to understand, and could only leave them for later study. In addition, there were several interesting treasures that he could ponder when he had time. The time he had agreed to meet with Xianying was approaching, and he needed to go and meet with Xianying first.

They agreed to meet in the Kingdom of Da Geng. Qin Sang turned south, and the territory of the Kingdom of Da Geng was almost directly south of the Kingdom of Tianhu.

After several twists and turns, Qin Sang arrived as promised and met Xuan Ying and another demon cultivator.

Upon seeing Qin Sang, a complex expression flashed in Xuan Ying's eyes, before she warmly introduced them, "This is Brother Zong..."

Qin Sang learned that this fellow clansman was a bear demon, which explained why he was as muscular as a small mountain.

"Besides these two fellow Daoists, three more are on their way and will arrive soon..."

Xianying introduced everything in detail, appearing confident and prepared.

Qin Sang pondered for a moment and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you intend to seek revenge on Long You now?"

Xuan Ying was not blinded by hatred and calmly said, "As long as there is an opportunity, I will never show mercy! If the weather is not good and the timing is not right, I am not lacking in patience."

Qin Sang nodded, realizing his worries were unnecessary. He then recounted his experiences at the Jueyin Cave to Xuan Ying. Xuan Ying's expression grew increasingly grave as he listened. Long You had gathered even more helpers than he had; it was laughable that he had been so confident, intending to hunt down Long You!

Upon hearing Qin Sang describe the appearance of one of the female demons, Zong Xiong suddenly turned angry and exclaimed, "It's her! It must be that witch Yin Lin!"

It was quite a coincidence that three of them happened to have a grudge against three of the opposing side. However, these were all the chosen ones of various demon clans, so it wasn't surprising that they had grudges and conflicts with each other.

"This is not a good time to take action; we need to plan this further," Qin Sang advised.

Xianying was not an inflexible person. When she heard that Longyou had so many helpers, she knew that the chances were slim. She decided to put aside her hatred for now and wait for Longyou to lower his guard before making her move.

"Thank you for reminding me, Fellow Daoist Mingyue, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss at the hands of that scoundrel Longyou again," Xuan Ying sighed somewhat unwillingly. After pondering for a moment, she spoke of the hunting, "This time, the hunt can be more spectacular."

Zong was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Is this what the higher-ups want?"

"The kingdoms of half-demons have been at peace for far too long..."

Xian Ying spoke meaningfully, without explaining further, and turned to look at Qin Sang, "What are Fellow Daoist Mingyue's plans next?"

"You must have already chosen your targets, right?" Qin Sang asked after seeing Xian Ying nod. "Is there a top expert among them that you also find difficult to deal with?"

“Not yet, but we can’t just kill them all; we need to lay the groundwork,” Xuan Ying said.

The purpose of the hunt is not only to kill promising half-demon cultivators, but also to disrupt the situation and incite wars between nations. Some things are more difficult than killing people.

Qin Sang didn't want to waste time on this, so he immediately said, "My cultivation has just reached a critical point, so I'm looking for a place to cultivate in seclusion in the half-demon kingdoms to facilitate communication. If you encounter any targets that you find troublesome in the future, I will definitely not refuse."

This was a polite way of declining the suggestion to act together. Xuan Ying had already been instructed by Feng Jiuyuan and would not interfere with Qin Sang's decision. He agreed on a way to contact Qin Sang and even took the initiative to show her the preliminary action plan.

With this plan, Qin Sang will be able to handle things more easily from now on. The day chaos breaks out will be the day to plot against the country!

"See you later!"

Qin Sang bid farewell to the two demons and turned to leave.

Xianying stared at Qin Sang's retreating figure until Qin Sang disappeared from sight before turning her gaze away.

……

After parting ways with Xianying, Qin Sang headed straight for Jiaosheng Kingdom, passing through the Zhuqian Dynasty along the way.

Of the three kingdoms—Da Geng, Cang Wu, and Zhu Qian—the Zhu Qian Dynasty is the closest to Jiao Sheng. Qin Sang must take this large neighbor seriously.

Moreover, the enemy who killed Jingyu came from the Zhuqian Dynasty!

Qin Sang learned of Jing Yu's death and wanted to avenge him, but she has held back until now because she has no opportunity.

Compared to the demon race, half-demons are weaker, but that is a contest between two major races. When it comes to individuals, new talents emerge in every generation, and half-demons are not lacking in experts, but rather in powerful beings who can change the fate of half-demons.

The strength of the five great kingdoms should not be underestimated. Compared with the five kingdoms, the forces under Qin Sang's command are still very weak.

In war between two countries, the strength of an individual is sometimes not enough to play a decisive role. Even if Qin Sang and Jiao Sheng Kingdom were to eventually annex the Zhu Qian Dynasty, it would take many years. The arrival of Xuan Ying and his group is undoubtedly a godsend.

A few months later.

Before leaving the Zhu Qian Dynasty, Qin Sang gazed at this land for a long time before rushing back to Jiao Sheng Kingdom as quickly as possible.

"Master, you're finally back!" Upon learning that Qin Sang had returned to the mountain, Bai Ying'er and Qin Hou immediately came to pay their respects.

"What, has trouble arisen in Liufeng Kingdom again?"

Qin Sang could guess the reason from Bai Ying'er's sullen appearance.

Now, with the addition of Pan Cong, Ling Ren, and many wind bandits to Jiao Sheng Kingdom, its national strength has greatly increased, and it no longer needs to take Liu Feng Kingdom seriously. However, without Qin Sang's orders, they dare not easily start a war and can only watch as Liu Feng Kingdom continues to provoke them, enduring it again and again. Bai Ying'er and the others feel extremely frustrated.

As expected, Qin Sang chuckled, looked out over the mountain, and said calmly, "We can teach them a lesson now. There's no need to use the altar for the time being."

These words are tantamount to a death sentence for the Liufeng Kingdom. Even without the altar, the Liufeng Kingdom is no match for the Jiaosheng Kingdom.

"Yes! Disciple, obey!"

Bai Ying'er and Qin Hou were overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately accepted the order and left.

After they left, Qin Sang ascended the altar alone. He planned to inscribe the Thunder Sacrifice Oath on this altar. Now that the Taoist disciples of Jiaosheng Kingdom had become a force to be reckoned with, he would have a trump card when encountering formidable enemies in the future.

At the very moment the oath of the Thunder Sacrifice was being inscribed, the entire Kingdom of Horned Life was mobilized.

The nominal emperor of Jiaosheng Kingdom is still the king of Yuanlu people. Located in a foreign land, Qin Sang does not intend to step into the limelight for the time being. Jiaosheng Kingdom, ruled by Yuanlu people, is probably more easily accepted by all parties.

However, even if Qin Sang doesn't step forward, he can still completely control the Kingdom of Jiaosheng. Wherever the territory of the Kingdom of Jiaosheng expands in the future, Taoist temples and altars will be built there, and Taoist disciples will be all over the world, like an airtight net controlling every corner of the Kingdom of Jiaosheng.

Of course, as long as the Yuanlu people do not do anything against his will, they can sit on the throne forever.

Just as Qin Sangming was inscribing the oath of sacrificial thunder, turmoil was brewing on the border between the two countries. Within the territory of Jiaosheng Kingdom, the abbots of Taoist temples across the land led their disciples down the mountain, leaving only a few to guard the gates. Since joining the Taoist sect, they had been strictly ordered to cultivate diligently, and this descent from the mountain was to protect their homeland, slay demons and monsters.

Three figures stood on the clouds: Pan Cong, Bai Ying'er, and Qin Hou, watching the Taoist disciples who were constantly converging on the border between the two countries.

Pan Cong is nominally Qin Sang's demon soldier, but Bai Ying'er and Qin Hou dare not neglect him in the slightest. In this great battle against Liufeng Kingdom, they still need Pan Cong to deal with that Void Refinement cultivator from Liufeng Kingdom.

These Taoist disciples all joined the Five Thunder Academy, received the High Divine Firmament Register, and cultivated thunder magic. Entering the Taoist sect for cultivation seemed to be a transformative experience. Although they were half-demon, they had lost some of their demonic aura and gained more of a righteous and awe-inspiring presence. Their eyes shone brightly, and their aura was majestic. Once they put on Taoist robes, they were true Taoist disciples!

Bai Ying'er and the others knew that this was only their apparent strength. The demon bandits brought by Feng Mo had already been distributed to become the demon soldiers of various sect leaders.

Release the demon soldiers, and the disciples' strength will immediately double.

If Qin Sang hadn't had so many things to do, like raiding the demon race and equipping his disciples with demon soldiers, probably not many half-demon kingdoms would have been able to withstand the onslaught of the demon army.

"The storm won't stop for another two months," Qin Hou said.

"The Flowing Wind Kingdom, relying on its supernatural powers, will definitely launch an attack before the wind disaster ends. This time, let's make sure they don't return!"

Bai Ying'er turned her head, "That one from Liufeng Kingdom, we'll have to rely on Fellow Daoist Pan."

“Of course! Of course! Young masters, rest assured, I will bring you its head.”

Pan Cong nodded with a smile.

He was quite pleased with himself now. He had been taken in as a demon soldier by Qin Sang, and he felt no resentment. Firstly, he had been greedy first, and he had brought this upon himself. Secondly, he did not feel that it was a shameful thing to rely on a strong person.

Due to their racial characteristics, the parents abandoned the child after laying the egg, and its whereabouts became unknown.

Pan Cong endured immense suffering in his childhood, going through countless hardships to reach where he is today, memories that remain vivid to this day. During that time, he experienced far more humiliating things, and no one would take him in, even when he sought refuge with a powerful figure.

Finally, Pan Cong managed to break through to the Void Refinement stage and set his sights on the position of island lord of the Seventy-Two Islands. If the North Sea Dragon Palace had recruited him then, he would not have hesitated at all and would have been willing to become a guest of the Dragon King.

Later, by a twist of fate, he was subdued by Qin Sang. At first, he was indeed resentful, but as he traveled along the way and witnessed Qin Sang's abilities, he could vaguely see some things, and that resentment disappeared. Following such a strong person was not shameful.

After further discussion, Pan Cong disappeared into the shadows, while Bai Ying'er slipped into the city to gather the Daoist disciples. (End of Chapter)
