Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2573 Flowers Bloom in Second Grade

'boom! ’

Qin Sang had lost count of how many times he had exploded and died, but no matter how many times, the fear he felt when facing the Qilin could not be diminished in the slightest. However, he had managed to suppress his inner fear, and even as death approached, he would stand motionless before the Qilin, his eyes fixed on it!

When Qin Sang was resurrected once again, his expression remained calm, showing no fear or worry whatsoever.

This time, Qin Sang acted out of character, closing his eyes and adopting a thoughtful expression, as if savoring something. The surrounding scenery, however, remained unaffected, continuing its own evolution, recreating the events of reality. Soon, the Qilin disappeared, and Qin Sang was enveloped in blazing currents, the Qilin's essence forcibly infusing his body.

However, compared to reality, Qin Sang was much more composed. He only needed a thought to stop time in his dream.

Suddenly, Qin Sang moved, took a step forward, and stood beside the Vermilion Bird, staring intently at it as it refined the Qilin's essence.

The Vermilion Bird and the Qilin are not the same kind of demonic beast, yet the Vermilion Bird can directly refine the Qilin's essence, so there should be something I can learn from it.

Qin Sang looked for a long time but didn't gain much; in fact, much of what he saw was a chaotic mess.

The Vermilion Bird was surrounded by a ball of flames, and the Qilin's essence was being devoured by the flames, seemingly being refined very easily. Qin Sang tried to peel back the flames to observe the Vermilion Bird's every move, but failed several times.

Qin Sang quickly understood the reason. Although he was the master of the dream and omnipotent in the dream, he could not dream of beings he had never seen and who were beyond his realm and cognition.

In reality, when Qin Sang was struck by the Qilin's essence, she was unable to witness what the Vermilion Bird did.

The method by which the Vermilion Bird refined the Qilin's essence was certainly not an ordinary supernatural power, and it was impossible for me to reproduce it out of thin air.

You still have to rely on yourself.

Qin Sang moved and retreated to her original position. The next moment, everything around her suddenly froze, and then exploded with a 'bang'.

‘Wow! ’

When the fragments of the dream reassembled, Qin Sang did not appear in the Qilin Cave Heaven, but instead appeared on a battlefield.

Seeing what was happening before his eyes, Qin Sang was filled with emotion. Those distant memories and people from thousands of years ago were reborn in his dream.

Those distant memories, it turns out, were not truly forgotten, but rather buried in some corner. Once triggered by a certain event, they remain as vivid as ever.

This is the Canglang Sea, the Seven Killings Palace, and the foot of Yitian Peak!

The three times they entered the Seven Killings Hall, a group of Nascent Soul experts, including Mo Qingzhu and Fang Laomo, were engaged in a fierce battle with an ancient demon who was trying to break the seal. Back then, he was just a mere Golden Core cultivator, hiding in a corner, trembling with fear.

It was at that time that he first noticed the lotus seed and the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" contained within it!

The battle back then was extremely dangerous, but from Qin Sang's current perspective, it was nothing special. He glanced deeply at Mo Qingzhu, ignoring the people in the fierce battle, grabbed the lotus seed with one hand, pressed down on the demon banner with the other, and began to cultivate the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" from the beginning.

He wants to relive his spiritual journey in his dream!

Re-editing "The Golden Lotus of Fire" was a piece of cake for Qin Sang. The difficulties she had encountered in the past were no longer difficulties. Her progress was rapid, and everything seemed to fall into place naturally.

In the blink of an eye, the fierce battlefield came to a standstill and shattered, and Qin Sang reappeared in the Lesser Cold Domain. Each time the scene was reproduced, it was the time when Qin Sang was in seclusion cultivating the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus".

Scenes flashed by one after another, the location and the scene changed, but the only thing that remained unchanged was Qin Sang.

From the Nine Netherworld Demon Fire, to the Ancestral Sacred Fire, and then to the Southern Bright Fire...

From the Seven Killings Palace to the Lesser Cold Domain, then to the Purple Palace, the Four Realms of the North Sea, and even the Central Continent, and finally back to the Demon Sea, the Vermilion Bird could not hold back and appeared to threaten, revealing the origin of the Qilin Origin Seed.

Then, they hit it off and began plotting to seize the Qilin's origin, were forced to flee to the world of talismans, and eventually ascended to the Great Thousand Realms...

During this time, Qin Sang recalled other experiences related to fire, such as seeing the Flowing Fire Illusion Pool at the Wuxiang Immortal Sect. Of course, these unrelated experiences were glossed over.

Later, Qin Sang spent less and less time cultivating the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" because he had already mastered the secret technique to its extreme. The lotus platform had long since become a cradle for hatching little Qilin, and he gave up on further studying the way of fire control.

But this secret technique has been with Qin Sang throughout his cultivation journey from the Golden Core stage to the present day, and it has brought him to the Qilin Cave Heaven!

Qin Sang meticulously recreated all his experiences related to "The Golden Lotus of Fire," even though they only constituted a small part of his cultivation journey. Combined, they represented a long period of time, something he could only do in his dreams.

This is only the first cycle, it's just the beginning!

The second cycle began, and Qin Sang returned to the foot of Yitian Peak. This time, he changed the 'past' and erased the mark of Old Demon Mu from the lotus seed on the spot. He then used the lotus seed to cultivate, and this cultivation continued throughout the entire subsequent cultivation process.

He used himself as a nest to incubate the Qilin Origin Seed, wanting to see how the Qilin was resurrected through the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" and the Qilin Origin Seed, and to explore the essence of the secret technique!

However, this time a problem arose. Qin Sang was unable to cultivate the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" to its fullest potential and was forced to stop halfway through.

He encountered the same problem as before: although he had hatched a baby Qilin, he had never seen a real Qilin reborn through the Qilin Origin Seed. How could he recreate it in his dream?

He didn't actually know everything about the Qilin Origin Seed; he did many things under the guidance of the Vermilion Bird.

However, he did not give up this time. He chose to start over and continue to incubate the Qilin Origin Seed, experiencing countless failures.

All this effort was not in vain. Through countless failures, Qin Sang gradually made progress, and finally, with the Qilin Origin Seed, he cultivated the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" to near its peak.

At the moment when the secret technique was about to be perfected, the fire lotus almost transformed into a lotus platform, from which a lotus seed, or rather an egg, emerged, about to hatch.

At this moment, Qin Sang suddenly stopped cultivating and opened her eyes.

He did not immediately take the final step, but simply stared intently at the lotus seeds in the lotus platform.

‘Crack! ’

The lotus pedestal shattered with a crisp sound.

A figure hatched from the lotus seed, and the moment it appeared, the surrounding scenery shattered, and the blazing torrents and molten rivers reappeared in Qin Sang's sight. Years had passed in his dream, and he had returned to the Qilin Cave Heaven, facing the fiery Qilin directly.

Qin Sang could only imagine the scene of the Qilin hatching in this way, piecing together a chaotic, even illogical, dream.

But that's enough; he's already gotten what he wanted!

In a short while, the scene changed again, and Qin Sang returned to the foot of Yitian Peak, seemingly about to begin a new cycle of reincarnation.

This time, Qin Sang completely abandoned the Qilin Origin Seed and even erased everything related to the Qilin during her cultivation process.

After several cycles, the scenes Qin Sang experienced became both familiar and strange, many of which had been altered by her dreams.

If reality is the first life, and this is the second life, then Qin Sang is now living out her third life.

In the third life, through countless reincarnations, Qin Sang continued to deduce and transform "The Golden Lotus of Fire" into a pure method of fire control.

Qin Sang strives for perfection, and once she encounters a problem, she is willing to go through several more cycles.

In reality, hundreds or even thousands of years might have passed; even a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage might not need that long for a single seclusion.

Finally, Qin Sang got her wish. At this time, the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" was completely different and had no relation to the Qilin Origin Seed anymore.

But it doesn't end there. Qin Sang still wants to develop the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" into a true spiritual cultivation technique that can be used to refine the Qilin's origin!

Qin Sang continued her journey without stopping, beginning her fourth life.

As the new cycle began, Qin Sang returned to the foot of Yitian Peak. Looking at the demon banner in her hand, her eyes flickered slightly. Then, the Nine Nether Demonic Flame sealed within the demon banner underwent a subtle change.

The demonic fire also contained a wisp of aura, somewhat similar to the Qilin's origin.

Qin Sang's ultimate goal is to refine the Qilin's essence, but this cannot be achieved overnight; Qin Sang intends to proceed step by step.

The changes in the Nine Netherworld Demonic Flame were not enough to bring about a major transformation, so this cycle went very smoothly. In the next cycle, Qin Sang allowed the Nine Netherworld Demonic Flame to incorporate more of the Qilin's original essence.

Thus, the Nine Netherworld Demonic Fire, the Ancestral Sacred Fire, the Southern Bright Fire, and all the spiritual fires Qin Sang refined along the way, gradually converged towards the Qilin's origin. Until finally, the Demonic Banner transformed into the Qilin Banner, and the Sun God Tree became the Qilin God Tree!

This is much weaker than the true Qilin origin, but this is Qin Sang's intention, because the new "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" he deduced has become a true cultivation method that can devour fire and refine the spirit, and now it only has the first three levels.

'Shuh! '

Qin Sang's primordial spirit left her body and was in the Out-of-Body stage, equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage.

His primordial spirit sat cross-legged in mid-air, a fiery lotus blooming between his brows.

With a wisp of Qilin essence entering his body, his primordial spirit remained dormant for a moment, then his aura suddenly surged. At this moment, he achieved the third level of the new "Fire Seed Golden Lotus," instantly crossing the threshold and becoming a Yin God!

Immediately afterwards, the fire lotus slowly flew out from between the Yin spirit's eyebrows, shining brightly with spiritual light. The lotus petals unfurled and transformed into a lotus platform.

It resembles a rare treasure, almost as if it were created by nature!

Just then, an unexpected change occurred. The lotus petals around the lotus platform shimmered slightly and then withered away.

In the blink of an eye, all the lotus petals withered away, leaving only a bare lotus pedestal! Even though the lotus pedestal looked impressive, it still seemed too monotonous, as if its charm had been diminished.

Qin Sang remained unmoved, sitting with his eyes closed. The mission of the fourth life was completed, and now he would continue to deduce the fourth level of the new "Fire Seed Golden Lotus", or even higher!

This time, there's no need to reincarnate again. He's essentially building a new skyscraper on the foundation laid by the Qilin, creating a new cultivation method. His past cultivation experience can't help him anymore, but there are still things he can learn from other spiritual cultivation methods like the "Taiyi Lingshu Jing".

The accumulated knowledge over the years came into play at this time; every method has its merits.

When Qin Sang began to deduce the fourth level of the new "Fire Seed Golden Lotus", she decided not to be impatient for quick success or aim too high. So she set the fourth level at the early stage of Yin Spirit, and it went very smoothly.

As Qin Sang deduced the cultivation technique, her cultivation level also rose accordingly, and she soon broke through again.

The bare lotus seat was now shimmering with spiritual light. Within the light, the withered lotus petals began to grow anew at the edge of the seat. As the cultivation level increased, the petals gradually became more solid and complete, wider and thicker than before, as if they had undergone a transformation.

A lotus platform with only one lotus petal is hardly harmonious, but when Qin Sang broke through again, a second lotus petal grew out.

When the lotus platform sprouted its third petal, and the flower reached its third grade, Qin Sang had already cultivated to the peak of the Yin God realm. As her cultivation improved, the aura of the Qilin's origin also grew accordingly.

Continuing to deduce and cultivate, one must enter the realm of Yang God again. The real test begins, after all, in reality, Qin Sang's realm of Yang God is only close to the mid-stage of breakthrough.

Years pass.

I don't know how many years have passed in the dream.

Qin Sang's dream became very simple. In the empty void, there was only the fiery current transformed from the Qilin's origin, and Qin Sang surrounded by the fiery current. There was nothing else.

On this day, at the center of the Blazing Current, a powerful aura erupted, and Qin Sang entered the Yang God Realm once again!

……

Qilin Cave Heaven.

The aura of the Dream Seed and the Qilin Origin intertwined on Qin Sang's body. Qin Sang had already fallen asleep, but the impact of the Qilin Origin's infusion had not stopped. This was not a peaceful dream.

Driven by his instincts, the lotus platform was absorbing the Qilin's essence with all its might, while the Heavenly Eye Butterfly was trying its best to share the pressure for him, and the Soul-Devouring Ghost Fire had almost turned crimson.

At this moment, however, a dangerous omen appeared. The spiritual pivot within Yang Shen's body was trembling, as if it had been subjected to an invisible impact. Between the Dream Seed and the Qilin Origin, a faint Buddhist light was emerging.

It was obvious that the old man in the dragon robe was using a secret technique to try to seize Qin Sang's spiritual core. Even if the jade Buddha could protect Qin Sang, there was still a big variable in the possibility that the old man in the dragon robe could pinpoint his location and forcibly transmit something through the spiritual network.

However, although Qin Sang was immersed in the dream, strange changes began to occur in her body.

The lotus platform had absorbed too much of the Qilin's essence and seemed to have reached its limit. It suddenly exploded into a ball of flames, but it was not dispersed by the blazing current.

A lotus seed was reborn from the flames, growing by consuming fire, forming a flower bud, and in an instant, the lotus flower bloomed. The lotus platform appeared and then withered, and then new lotus petals grew, and the flower had three grades!

During this process, Qin Sang's aura fluctuated violently, but fortunately it eventually stabilized. As the fourth lotus petal on the lotus platform slowly grew out, the spiritual pivot trembled violently and suddenly shattered!

At this moment, Qin Sang completely severed the connection with Ling Shu, which was equivalent to destroying his Dao foundation, but his Dao foundation had already transformed into a fourth-grade lotus platform.

Qin Sang's cultivation in the dream world has unexpectedly reflected in reality. The dream seed comes from the Great Dream God, the Mahayana ancestor of the alien race. When cultivators can refine the Qilin's origin, they will discover that the Blazing Current is not actually violent, but rather a pure and primal power. Now, with these two supreme treasures combined in Qin Sang, the impossible has become possible!

The Qilin's essence is inexhaustible, continuously flowing into the lotus platform. Even the blooming of the fourth grade of the lotus is not the limit. After a brief pause, a new lotus petal grows on the lotus platform.

The flower blooms in five grades! (End of Chapter)
