Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2584: Turn over the clouds

The fragrant smoke rises and drifts, carrying its message to the heavens!

A thunderclap sounded.

Inside and outside the Great Wind Plains, whether mortals, demons, or demon saints and true lords, all were awestruck by the thunder and involuntarily felt a deep sense of awe.

Since the start of the great battle, thunder has been rumbling across the battlefield, but neither the thunder of the Thunder Oath nor the tribulation thunder containing heavenly might can compare to the thunder now.

Mortals and demons knelt on the ground, and all the cultivators trembled in fear.

Only the demon saints and true lords managed to remain calm amidst the thunder, but they themselves knew how violent the impact they were experiencing was.

Above the Great Wind Plains, at the source of the thunder, a dazzling blue-silver light illuminated the sky, revealing a thunder abyss hanging upside down in the heavens!

The Thunder Abyss is bottomless, filled with endless thunderstorms. Lightning tears through the sky, shatters the heavens, and connects the celestial realm with the mortal world.

Deep within Thunder Abyss, it seems as if an infinitely majestic thunder god is surveying all living beings.

This thunder god is the master of thunder, commanding wind and thunder, wielding lightning and whipping thunder, manipulating creation, and awe-inspiring all spirits!

No one dared to look directly into the depths of Thunder Abyss, fearing that such a disrespectful act would invite divine punishment.

Many years have passed, and the world has changed. The divine might of the Thunder Ancestor has finally reappeared in the spirit world!

Even knowing they were adversaries, the demon saints of the Dragon and Phoenix clans were still shocked and felt that their trip had been worthwhile.

Thunderstorm burst forth from Thunder Abyss, transforming into divine lightning. Under the watchful eyes of the masses, it pierced through the void and descended upon the Heavenly Azure Kingdom.

Qin Sang stood on the altar, accepting the divine lightning strike with equanimity.

This was the second time in his life that he had summoned the Thunder God. The first time was forced upon him, without any preparation. Qin Sang still vividly remembered how he felt back then, and every time he recalled it, his heart still pounded with fear.

Looking back, the pain was secondary; the most terrifying thing was that Lei Zu's power occupied his mind, and he vaguely believed that he had become Lei Zu, the supreme ruler of all thunder.

That power was so strong and terrifying, looking down on everything in the world, intoxicating and irresistible, and one could easily lose oneself if one was not careful.

Qin Sang's cultivation level is now vastly different from before, so she can probably barely withstand it.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, divine lightning pierced through the top of his head, and the power of the Thunder Ancestor poured into his body, bringing back that familiar feeling.

At that moment, a thought crossed Qin Sang's mind: she was still so vulnerable.

If Lei Zu's power is described as a vast ocean, then Qin Sang is like a stream that has transformed into a mighty river.

To truly absorb the power of the Thunder Ancestor, Qin Sang either needs to possess at least the cultivation level of the late-stage Integration Realm, or he needs the full support of a like-minded individual to initiate the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. His conditions are clearly far from sufficient. However, since Zhang Tianshi has ordered him to summon the Thunder Ancestor, he naturally cannot allow him to explode and die; otherwise, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?

With Zhang Tianshi secretly protecting her and the Jade Buddha guarding her path, Qin Sang always appeared calm and composed to outsiders.

He spread his arms, his figure slowly rising, as if to embrace this world. The thunder and lightning that filled the world frantically converged on the altar, turning the Great Wind Plain into a domain of thunder!

In an instant, Qin Sang's appearance changed drastically. He was now wearing a thunder robe and an imperial crown, with thunder dragons crawling beneath him and all thunderbolts submitting to his palms, making him look like the incarnation of the Thunder Ancestor.

It wasn't just her appearance that changed; Qin Sang exuded the aura and pressure of the Thunder Ancestor.

The Demon Saint True Lord can only be looked up to!

"This power is truly mesmerizing..."

Invoking divine intervention can help cultivators comprehend the Dao, as Qin Sang experienced last time. Compared to her previous panic, Qin Sang is now able to understand much more from it.

Then came a deep sense of regret, lamenting that he hadn't chosen the Path of Thunder, otherwise the gains he would have made would have been unimaginable.

Even so, this was a golden opportunity for Qin Sang, who had just broken through.

Although the paths to enlightenment differ, many principles are interconnected. Qin Sang could truly understand how the Thunder Ancestor commanded and mastered the Great Dao of Thunder. With slight modifications, he could apply this to his own cultivation in the future.

If Qin Sang were to unleash her sword domain again now, it would be much more stable than before.

Qin Sang was immersed in this immense power. Zhang Tianshi did not urge him, and Qin Sang was able to calmly comprehend the Dao, which must be due to Zhang Tianshi's protection.

Unsure whether this was a reward for herself, Qin Sang had this ridiculous thought for no apparent reason: it was time to carry out her mission.

Those divine eyes of punishment shifted slightly, as if the Thunder Ancestor were observing all living beings on earth and examining their sins.

The Wood God Envoy, the Half-Demon True Lord, and the demon saints of the North Sea Dragon Palace, the Phoenix Clan, and the Azure Luan Clan all looked up at the Thunder Ancestor with awe, as if they were paying homage to a god.

The fighting between them subsided, and no one chose to flee at this time.

There's no point in running away from Lei Zu. If the Dao Court really wants to kill them, their ancestor won't stand idly by.

Among the forces currently involved in the Great Wind Plains, the Dao Court's Mahayana combat power was the first to appear and is indeed unmatched. However, this does not mean that the Dao Court will be the final winner. The current situation is very delicate, and all the demon saints are watching Qin Shijun, observing his every move.

Qin Sang held lightning in her hand, but did not unleash it.

His gaze swept over the various demon kingdoms below, reaching Feng Mo and witnessing the destruction of the grotto-heaven. It then swept over the various demon saints, glancing towards the southern region of the Great Wind Plains. The auras of the dragon and phoenix clans and the Azure Luan clan's demon saints were clearly visible to him.

Sensing his gaze, the three demon saints immediately held their breath and tensed up. Fortunately, Qin Sang withdrew his gaze from them, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they realized his gaze had moved away.

However, when she saw Qin Sang's next move, the Empress's heart tightened and she knew something was wrong.

At this moment, Qin Sang was watching the battlefield between Jiao Sheng Kingdom, the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint, and Qianzhou!

The Phoenix Clan and Qianzhou are mortal enemies. Once Qianzhou intervenes in Dafeng Plain, the Phoenix Clan will be attacked from both sides. Therefore, the Phoenix Queen must drive Qianzhou away no matter what. The conflict between the two sides has not stopped until now.

However, after a series of battles, Qianzhou, which was fighting remotely, was on the verge of exhaustion, and the altar was nearing its end.

There, the sky was ablaze with fire, the flames were so intense that the altar was almost completely engulfed by the flames.

Suddenly, Qin Sang pointed a finger from afar.

'Rumble...'

A casual gesture caused the heavens to tremble and the earth to tremble. Thousands of blue and white lightning bolts rushed out from all directions, a dark hole appeared in the sky above the sea of ​​fire, and the fire clouds suddenly collapsed.

Seeing this, Empress Huang's expression turned cold. The Ancestor had shown no intention of making a move, and they dared not and were powerless to contend with the Thunder Ancestor. However, since the Dao Court had truly colluded with Qianzhou and taken control of the Great Wind Plains, it was determined to wage war against them!

‘Crack! ’

The heavenly lightning transformed into thunder swords, piercing the sky and descending!

Amidst thunder and lightning, the Empress hurriedly changed her divine powers. At that moment, a strange light flashed in her eyes. This lightning sword was incomparably sharp, and its intention seemed not to rescue the altar, but rather to shatter it completely.

'Bah! '

A phoenix cry mingled with the thunder.

The raging flames converged wildly towards the center of the inferno, instantly giving birth to a gigantic fire phoenix. The phoenix's body was formed from endless flames, and with a single flap of its wings, it unleashed a deluge of flames that blotted out the sky.

At this moment, the fire phoenix flapped its wings, carrying raging flames, and flew away, narrowly avoiding the sharp edge of the thunder sword. It continued to cry out, its cries carrying a hint of panic.

The fire phoenix escaped, and the altar was completely exposed beneath the sword peak!

Without hesitation, Qin Sang unleashed lightning upon the altar. The earth trembled violently, and amidst astonished gazes, the altar was shattered by the lightning.

‘Wow! ’

Like a black curtain, it quickly unfolded on the earth.

The Kingdom of Horned Life and the Kingdom of Shadow God, which had been enshrined in the altar, returned to the world after the altar shattered, and the people of both countries were completely unaware of what had just happened.

The sky was filled with terrifying thunder, even more frightening than the previous heavenly fire, but it would no longer harm them.

At the ruins of the altar, lightning flashed like a sea and a forest, and the power that Qianzhou had transferred from afar was mercilessly crushed.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky and landed in Qin Sang's palm.

Inside was Bai Ying'er's spirit, her eyes were closed and her expression was blank. The spiritual core in her body had been completely taken over by that Senior Zhou, which was equivalent to possession. Fortunately, it didn't last long.

The lightning transformed into a lightning blade before Qin Sang, and lightly slashed down at Bai Ying'er's Yang Spirit.

At the same time, Qin Sang struck the altar with a backhand palm strike, which was so powerful that it shook the earth and the altar vanished into thin air!

……

Qianzhou Ancient Temple.

The old man in the dragon robe's expression changed drastically, and the square cauldron in front of him suddenly trembled violently.

Suddenly, lightning erupted from the mouth of the cauldron, and an extremely powerful thunderous force, following the connection between the spiritual networks of the two places, crossed billions of miles of void to counterattack.

With a loud 'boom,' the square cauldron was sent flying on the spot. This treasure was indeed remarkable, as it did not shatter. Lightning shot out from the cauldron, and the ancient palace also shook violently.

Just as the ancient palace was about to collapse, a bright light shone from the scroll depicting the Jade Emperor behind the old man in the dragon robe. An indescribable rhythm spread out, saving the ancient palace and the treasures inside.

'Bang! '

As the lightning dissipated, Fang Ding crashed heavily to the ground, leaving the hall in a mess. The old man in the dragon robe reacted quickly, but he also ended up looking disheveled.

A flash of light appeared outside the palace, alerting the palace servants, who rushed over.

If one were to try to sense it again at this point, the connection between the spiritual networks of the two locations would be completely severed.

From within the square cauldron, a faint chuckle could be heard, coming from the little thief that the old man in the dragon robe had always thought he had been playing with.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, thank you very much!"

After a brief silence, the sound of a jade table shattering suddenly echoed in the ancient hall, sounding as if it had been smashed by a single blow.

"Your Majesty..."

The eunuch trembled with fear and dared not step forward. Everyone in the Prince's mansion knew that this was one of the Prince's most beloved treasures.

A moment later, the calm voice of the old man in the dragon robe came from inside the hall.

"It's nothing, you may all leave."

……

Qin Sang severed not only the connection between the spiritual networks of the two places, but also the link between Bai Ying'er and the dragon vein.

Bai Ying'er is the master of two dragon veins. Her Dao foundation is the spiritual pivot cultivated from the Taiyi Ling Shu Jing, which is also deeply connected to the dragon veins.

The cultivation gained through the dragon vein is essentially bestowed by the dragon vein itself; they are more like puppets of the dragon vein, except that the dragon vein does not control their thoughts, but rather gives them the illusion of self-breakthrough. In reality, these powers do not belong to them, and the Dao they comprehend is also false, fabricated by the dragon vein, naturally leading them further astray.

Initially, Bai Ying'er benefited from the dragon vein, breaking through several levels in a short period of time and reaching the late stage of the Yang God realm. Now, with Qin Sang's intervention, the effects were immediate, and Bai Ying'er's cultivation level plummeted, instantly falling back to the mid-stage of the Yang God realm.

Driven by an unstoppable downward spiral, he quickly fell back to the early stage of Yang Shen, and then even his Yang Shen began to dissipate, on the verge of falling back to the Yin Shen realm.

If it's just a matter of falling back to the Yin God Realm, that's fine. The worst thing is that even the Yin God Realm can't be preserved, and the Dao Foundation collapses.

At this moment, Bai Ying'er soared into the air, her true form and Yang God merging, hovering in front of Qin Sang. Qin Sang extended her palm and placed it on Bai Ying'er's head, as if bestowing a divine teaching. Azure lightning pulsed in her palm, surging into her body, immediately alleviating the near collapse of her Yang God, and slowing the downward spiral of her cultivation level.

At the same time, a wisp of crimson fire, enveloped in lightning, entered Bai Ying'er's body.

'boom! ’

Bai Ying'er's spirit core seemed to be grasped by a giant thunder hand and shattered with a crash.

Strangely, despite the dramatic fluctuations in her cultivation level, she did not collapse as a result.

Amidst the fragments of the Spiritual Pivot, a spark suddenly flickered, and at the same time, a profound scripture flowed into Bai Ying'er's heart—the new "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" that Qin Sang had comprehended.

Bai Ying'er's ability to cultivate to the late stage of Yang Shen was not entirely due to the dragon vein; her own comprehension was also exceptional, otherwise, how could she have grasped the wonders of the *Taiyi Ling Shu Jing*? With Qin Sang's meticulous guidance and the assistance of the Thunder Ancestor's power, she quickly understood the scripture and began cultivating based on her instincts.

Those streams of fire were the Qilin essence that Qin Sang specially left for Bai Ying'er!

The Taiyi Ling Shu Jing is not entirely a ruin. With the help of Qin Sang and the Qilin Origin, Bai Ying'er took its essence and discarded its dross, rebuilding the foundation of the Dao on the 'ruins'.

A fiery lotus blooms on the 'ruins'.

Flowers bloom and fall.

The rapidly declining realm began to rebound at a swift pace, reshaping the Yang God, and with no exhaustion of momentum, it continued to rise, breaking through the realm barrier and entering the mid-stage of the Yang God realm!

Qin Sang's decision to stop at this point, allowing Bai Ying'er to solidify her foundation on her own, and continuing to push her cultivation level forward, might not be a good thing.

Bai Ying'er's breathing gradually stabilized, and a lotus platform emerged within her body, blooming with five grades of flowers!

While destroying the altar and rebuilding Bai Ying'er's foundation, Qin Sang's gaze once again fell on Feng Mo.

The destruction of Qilin Cave Heaven is a foregone conclusion. As the flames continue to erupt, the lava has engulfed Fengmo and continues to spread outward.

Many of the secret treasures within the Qilin Cave Heaven were destroyed in this cataclysmic calamity. Deep within the lava, strange precious lights flickered frequently, but ultimately, no one paid them any attention, and they were extinguished, which was quite a pity. The treasures were so close, yet these demon saints and true lords dared not make a move to take them.

When they saw Qin Sang personally destroy the altar and drive away the Qianzhou Spirit Network, their expressions were somewhat strange. They couldn't figure out what the relationship was between the Dao Court and Qianzhou. Could it be that the Dao Court had invited them before?

Qin Sang stood atop the Thunder Peak, looking down upon the various demon saints. He made no attempt to monopolize the Qilin Cave Heaven, nor did he forcibly drive away any force.

He spoke slowly.

"We have distinguished guests today, but unfortunately, it is not an auspicious time, and I have not prepared a grand feast. Please take your treasures and leave!"

The voice was calm, reaching the ears of the three demon saints and the wood god envoy, as if the host was driving away an intruding guest.

Their word is law, and their authority is beyond question! (End of Chapter)
