Chapter 2590 Mani Jewel
The six-tiered lotus platform gleamed brilliantly.
The lotus platform was reshaped by Qin Sang after refining the Qilin's essence, and its cultivation technique was also derived from the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus". Qilin fire floated above the lotus platform, making it almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
However, these Qilin Fires now belong entirely to Qin Sang. When he created the cultivation technique, he was wary that the technique would rely too much on the Qilin and restrict himself, since there is only one Qilin inheritance.
The "Fire Lotus" itself has the characteristic of containing all the fires in the world, so Qin Sang did not encounter much resistance when comprehending the technique.
The lotus platform is the foundation of the Yang God's Dao and a manifestation of cultivation. If Qin Sang wants to change the cultivation method, it will definitely be reflected on the lotus platform.
Having already experienced the Dao Integration once, Qin Sang should find it much easier to achieve it again. Although he had completed the sixth rank of the Lotus Platform, Qin Sang was not in a hurry to promote the Yang Spirit Dao Integration. Firstly, Qin Sang wanted to continue perfecting his cultivation technique; secondly, he had only recently begun exploring the Dao of Fire and needed to consolidate his knowledge.
Many years ago, fire control was his most important supernatural ability when he fought with others, but he almost abandoned it later. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and he returned to this path.
Qin Sang gazed at the lotus platform, her gaze penetrating its very essence.
This cultivation method is able to cultivate a lotus platform as an outward manifestation of the Dao foundation, partly due to its origin in the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus," and partly because Qin Sang also referenced the "Taiyi Ling Shu Jing" in some parts. The most important step in the "Taiyi Ling Shu Jing" is the cultivation and forging of the spiritual pivot, which is ingenious and mysterious, greatly opening Qin Sang's eyes at the time.
If you were to disassemble it, you would see countless silken flames, forming a lotus platform in an incredibly mysterious way. Since moving one part would affect the whole, Qin Sang considered it carefully and still didn't act.
At this moment, Qin Sang looked down at the Thousand-Pound Ring, probed it with her divine sense, scanned the treasures she had stored in the small cave, and took out everything related to 'fire' all at once.
Over the years, he has traveled far and wide, collecting numerous cultivation techniques and secret arts, even including some inheritances from the witch and demon races. These are all stored in jade slips, piled up in front of Qin Sang.
If Qin Sang wants to create a new martial arts technique, he should draw on the strengths of many, even the most rudimentary techniques, which may offer him inspiration.
As Qin Sang read through the various cultivation techniques and secret arts, he even personally practiced some of them, carefully experiencing their essence. He indeed gained a great deal, secretly thinking to himself, "When I have time, I'll ask True Monarch Yuan for some of the Fire Department's cultivation techniques to read..."
In addition to these, there are some external objects.
Now that the Great Dao of Fire has been revived, it is necessary to refine some handy items for the Yang God. Although the Integration Cultivator has great supernatural powers, he will not abandon external items when fighting.
After Qin Sang broke through, many of his previous treasures could no longer keep up with his progress, such as the Divine Ring Golden Lock he gave to Bai Ying'er, and the Mingshan Armor, among other treasures. The most important of these was the Taiyin Spirit Sword.
In the future, Qin Sang's main means of fighting enemies will still be the Sword Domain, so this sword must be reforged!
As for the Fire Path, there was almost no accumulation. Qin Sang glanced at it and saw that many of the techniques were still used back in the Storm Realm.
"This thing..."
Qin Sang saw a familiar treasure and took it into her hand. This treasure was a pearl inlaid on a lotus platform, called the Mani Pearl.
I remember that he obtained the precious pearl and the lotus platform from two different places. The precious pearl was called the Ruyi Precious Pearl, which he obtained from the Jinghai Sect in the North Sea. The lotus platform was obtained from the Liuhuo Huanzhen Pool of the Wuxiang Immortal Sect. The two were combined to become the Mani Pearl.
This treasure was probably the one he used the longest, and it helped him defeat enemies many times in the world of talismans. Later, it was hidden away and has been gathering dust for many years.
I still remember that when I obtained the Mani Beads, they were quite extraordinary.
At that time, he was unaware of the existence of true treasures and acquired spiritual treasures. He discovered that this object was neither a true treasure nor a spiritual treasure. It could be activated with spiritual fire to transform into a protective fire shield, and it seemed to possess infinite space, which could not be filled no matter how much spiritual fire he poured into it.
Qin Sang tried again, drawing a wisp of spiritual fire from the lotus platform and sending it toward the Mani Pearl. As the spiritual fire was continuously poured into it, a look of surprise gradually appeared in her eyes.
With his cultivation level, the spiritual fire he controlled was far greater than it had been back then, and the Mani Pearl was still able to contain it!
A fiery shield manifested, enveloping Qin Sang.
Gradually, the fire shield became more and more solid. The spiritual fire that Qin Sang was now pouring in could only be activated by a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, and this was still not the limit of the Mani Bead.
In the end, Qin Sang obtained a protective fire shield with defensive capabilities no less than the Mingshan Armor, and as long as Qin Sang has more spiritual fire, she can continue to strengthen it!
"What kind of treasure is this?"
Qin Sang was surprised.
The Mani Bead had no spirit, not even any sign of spirituality. He initially guessed it was a genuine treasure, but after a closer examination, he felt it didn't seem like one. His skill in weapon crafting was also far superior to what it used to be, so he shouldn't have misjudged it.
This treasure almost completely devoured the spiritual fire within the sixth-grade lotus platform. This ability surpasses that of many other spiritual treasures, making it impossible to discern its grade.
"Could it also be incomplete?"
Qin Sang was all too familiar with this situation. The Storm Realm had brought him too many surprises, but most of them were incomplete.
Mani beads are made up of two parts, and there may be a third part, or even more.
"Could the Mani jewel... be a Buddhist treasure?"
Qin Sang withdrew the spiritual fire, and the Mani Pearl withdrew its divine light, returning to its original appearance.
Buddhist scriptures record that the Mani jewel is an important treasure in Buddhism, and the Jinghai School is also a Buddhist lineage.
Qin Sang's knowledge of Buddhism was not deep; he only obtained two and a half of the Nine Great Light Seals, and the whereabouts of the other seals were unknown.
The Storm Realm has the legacy of the Ziwei Palace, the legacy of the Taoist sect, and powerful figures from the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan. What's so strange about having a Buddhist legacy as well?
The higher one's realm, the more one can sense the mystery of the Storm Realm.
The Storm Realm is filled with countless treasures and heritages, and what he obtained was undoubtedly only a portion of them. Some were probably taken away by ascended predecessors, while others remain lost treasures. After establishing the Qingyang Kingdom, Qin Sang searched the world and obtained the seeds of the Climbing Vine.
He recalled what he had seen and heard in the Qingyang Treasure Vault, but it seemed that there were no treasures related to the Mani Pearl. He would have to go back and search for it again. He wondered if he would have found some after so many years.
If they were taken away by the ascended cultivators of the Storm Realm, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack; it would be almost impossible to reunite them.
However, the more she experienced and the more she discovered the wonders of this treasure, the more Qin Sang felt, not joy, but wondered if this treasure was related to some Buddhist karma.
As the saying goes, "Once bitten by a snake, twice shy," Qin Sang has been bitten too many times.
Once you make contact with the Storm Realm, you can never be too cautious.
Regardless of the origin of the Mani Bead, this treasure is indeed a great help. Qin Sang speculates that it can still be used after the Yang God merges with the Dao, making it a supreme protective treasure.
Just then, Bai Ying'er came to see him outside. It turned out that, unknowingly, it was time to open the Fire Abyss.
Yu Ying also came with Bai Ying'er.
"Yu Ying pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"
Yu Ying bowed respectfully with deep reverence. Although she had followed Qin Sang for many years, she no longer dared to be as casual as before in front of Qin Sang.
Yu Ying also switched to cultivating the Taiyi Ling Shu Jing at the beginning, and almost went astray. Fortunately, Qin Sang later helped her rebuild her Dao foundation, shatter the Ling Shu, and create the lotus platform.
However, she wasn't as lucky as Bai Ying'er. Qin Sang used the Qilin Origin to almost completely reshape Bai Ying'er's Dao foundation, enabling her to break through in one fell swoop. She only barely managed to preserve Yu Ying's original realm, which was also related to Bai Ying'er's shallower foundation. Of course, even though the cultivation technique passed down by Qin Sang still had flaws, it was still far superior to her original technique.
Yu Ying continued to manage the cultivation grounds for Qin Sang. She and Bai Ying'er were the head steward and Qin Sang's disciple, respectively, and they practiced the same cultivation technique. The two had long been like sisters.
Each True Lord is only allowed to send two disciples to open the Fire Abyss this time, and Qin Sang has her eye on them.
The two women stepped forward to report. Qin Sang learned that several True Lords had already set off for the Fire Abyss. She nodded and was about to get up when Bai Ying'er continued, "Master, Yuan Zuo, Ning Ye, and fellow Daoists Pan Cong and Xiao Yue wish to see you."
"Oh?"
Qin Sang sensed that they were waiting outside. "Bring them in."
Bai Ying'er responded with a "yes," turned around and went out, quickly bringing the four of them in.
They bowed their heads and entered the cave, immediately knelt before the jade throne, and said in unison, "Greetings, Heavenly Lord!"
After the Daoist court took control, Yuan Zhenjun collected all eight dragon veins, supposedly for other purposes.
The cultivators who had previously colluded with the dragon vein had their connections severed by several True Lords, including Yuan Zuo.
Everything the dragon vein had bestowed upon them vanished into thin air. Yuan Zuo, who had originally cultivated to the peak of the Void Refinement stage, had now fallen back down.
After exchanging greetings, without waiting for Qin Sang to inquire, they took the initiative to explain their purpose.
Yuan Zuo now considers himself a junior, saying, "This junior wishes to change his practice to the 'Fire Seed Golden Lotus' method, and requests the Heavenly Emperor's permission."
Qin Sang was somewhat surprised; he had thought Yuan Zuo would switch to the Daoist teachings.
Yuan Zuo had placed his hopes for enlightenment on the dragon vein, wasting a thousand years in vain. Given his scheming abilities, it was impossible for him not to understand the gap between Qin Sang's self-created cultivation method and the Daoist tradition.
The Dao Court is now making things very convenient for half-demons. Yuan Zuo only needs to ask Qin Sang to put in a good word for him, and he can choose any of the inheritances released by the Dao Court. Yuan Zuo has also made many contributions, and Qin Sang will not be stingy with them.
Yuanzu touched his forehead to the ground and continued, "I humbly request that after the Heavenly Lord transmits the Dharma, he allow me to guard the Daoist temple for the Heavenly Lord forever. I dare not presume to be a disciple, I only ask that the Heavenly Lord accept me as a nominal disciple."
After saying this, Yu Ying, Xiao Yue, and Pan Cong all kowtowed in unison, "We are also willing to guard the temple for the Heavenly Lord for eternity!"
Previously, when Qin Sang was at the same level as them, they may have had some complaints, but now they are completely convinced and only ask to become Qin Sang's disciple.
In fact, their cultivation levels were not weak. The one with the highest cultivation level, Ru Yuying, was only one step away from the Integration stage, but this hurdle was an insurmountable barrier!
Qin Sang glanced at the cultivators and looked at Ning Ye, who was kneeling to the side without saying a word, "You don't also want to switch to cultivating Yang God, do you?"
Ning Ye respectfully said, "This subordinate wishes to switch to the Fire Department's cultivation methods, but I do not know which lineage is suitable for me. Please advise, Heavenly Lord."
So it turns out you want to join the Fighting Department. Qin Sang nodded. "That's easy. I'll give you a decree. Go and set up the altar, and someone will explain it to you in detail."
Ning Ye was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed to thank Qin Sang.
Qin Sang turned her gaze to Yuan Zuo and the others.
Xiaoyue and Pancong are both demon cultivators, which puts them in a somewhat awkward position within the Dao Court. Although the Dao Court has not implemented a demon soldier system in Gengchu, it cannot allow demon cultivators to occupy high positions. However, as long as they remain in their respective Daoist temples and willingly serve as guardian spirit beasts, the Dao Court will not mistreat them and will even allow them to consult the demon cultivation methods collected by the Dao Court.
As for Yuan Zuo and Yu Ying, if we disregard cultivation level, Qin Sang actually favors Yuan Zuo more, as his temperament is perfectly suited to mingling in the Dao Court.
After she leaves, Bai Ying'er will need help, and they will be her right-hand men in the future.
With this in mind, Qin Sang granted their request and accepted Yu Ying and Yuan Zuo as his nominal disciples. He did not intend to raise demon soldiers, keeping only Di Xinggong by his side. Considering Xiao Yue and Pan Cong's contributions, he allowed them to serve as guardian spirit beasts to assist Bai Ying'er.
The cultivators withdrew, and Bai Ying'er and Yu Ying accompanied Qin Sang as they flew towards the Fire Abyss.
Before long, the fiery abyss came into view.
From afar, one could see flames soaring into the sky. The raging fire in the abyss was suppressed by lightning. Over the years, it not only showed no signs of weakening, but had instead undergone internal fusion and mutation, making the fire seem even more ferocious.
Around the fiery abyss, even the night was illuminated as if it were daytime.
Speaking of Fire Abyss and Wind Desert, one cannot help but mention the original Seven Forbidden Lands, with Wind Desert, the foremost of the Seven Forbidden Lands, disappearing entirely. The Forbidden Land of Qingning Palace was once the Daoist Holy Land of Wuji Academy. Yuan Zhenjun and Qin Sang both planned to rebuild the Holy Land, so they first set up a magic array in Qingning Palace. The natural disaster in the Forbidden Land has been quelled, and the new Holy Land is just around the corner.
However, Qin Sang does not intend to return the Nourishing Nature Platform to the Dao Court for the time being; he still needs to maintain a clear separation between himself and the Dao Court. After breaking through to the Integration Stage, this treasure is no longer of great use to him, but his disciples and descendants will still find it useful.
As for the remaining five forbidden areas, Yuan Zhenjun has also sent people to investigate them one by one, and they will be dealt with one by one in the future.
Above the fiery abyss, the light shone brightly, and the dense flames in the sky seemed to form a fiery cloud.
Qin Sang led the two women into the Fire Cloud, where they saw that all the True Lords had already arrived. True Lord Yuan was followed by two Daoist boys, Yunqi and Songjian, while True Lord Xuanqiu and others also brought two disciples.
"Qin Tianjun has arrived."
The True Lords exchanged greetings, their gazes all turning toward the Fire Abyss.
Since Qin Sang suppressed the Fire Abyss, and Yuan Zhenjun sent people to set up some restrictions around it, no one has set foot in it since. Even with the eyesight of these Zhenjuns, they cannot see through the bottom of the Fire Abyss at a glance.
"You may all leave now, but act according to your abilities and do not be reckless!"
With a flick of his whisk, Yuan Zhenjun sent Bai Ying'er and the others to bid farewell to their master and fly together toward the Fire Abyss.
At the same time, the light of the whisk fell, opening several portals above the fiery abyss. Bai Ying'er and Yu Ying chose one of them; they were the only ones there, and everyone else deliberately avoided it.
As they approached the fiery abyss, they felt the intense heat of the fire and quickly activated their protective abilities.
"I wonder what the scene was like when the Qilin Cave Heaven was born," Yu Ying exclaimed.
She only knew bits and pieces of what happened that day.
It's hard to imagine how the one who was once my master and is now my master managed to stir up the storm, subdue the demon saints of various races, and win the Gengchuzhi for the Dao Court!
Bai Ying'er looked around and said, "Master said that this is a gentleman's contest, and we should stop when we've reached a point. But the raging fire has been suppressed in the Fire Abyss for many years, and it is fraught with danger. We cannot be careless."
As they spoke, the two women plummeted into the flames and were instantly engulfed by the sea of fire.
