Chapter 2610 Born with Flaws
Xunzhou is not Zhenzhou. The divine way is not prominent here. The only thing that can be associated with 'gods' is probably Huangting Dao.
The Huangting Dao's "Huangting Neijing Jing" is a method for cultivating the body and spirit. Given that Huangting Dao has caused such a great uproar, it is only natural that a high-ranking Taoist master from Huangting Dao appeared in the northern region of Xunzhou.
Qin Sang secretly sized up the old beggar. In his eyes, the old beggar was clearly made of flesh and blood, yet he claimed to be a 'god'. Could a god detach himself from his physical body and travel independently?
The title 'Qin Tianjun' is currently only circulating within Gengchuzhi. Across the vast Fenghai, it shouldn't have reached the Great Zhou so quickly. The old beggar not only directly revealed his identity but also addressed him as 'Tianjun' to his face, which is probably some kind of established practice within the Daoist sect.
Yuan Zhenjun insisted on calling him 'Qin Tianjun' so that he could get used to this identity in advance. It seems that Qin Sang's desire to keep a low profile is impossible. Whether he likes it or not, he must accept the title of 'Daoist Heavenly Lord'.
What alarmed Qin Sang the most was, what was this person's intention in coming to her door?
Just now, the old beggar communicated with him using telepathy, so it seems he didn't want to reveal his identity to the public.
Qin Sang pondered the old beggar and Huang Tingdao's intentions, his tone neither warm nor cold. Of course, he couldn't actually call the other party an old beggar. "Forgive my ignorance, but I wonder what instruction you have for me, Immortal Elder?"
"I dare not presume to offer guidance."
The old beggar's smile remained unchanged. "This old beggar has a life of constant toil and has never had a moment of peace. This time, I was forced into this situation, but unexpectedly, I was able to meet the Heavenly Emperor in the Northern Region. It must be fate. I wonder when the Heavenly Emperor will arrive in Xunzhou. I suppose he has already heard about the Yellow Court Gathering in a month?"
"I have indeed heard about it."
Qin Sang nodded slightly, thinking to herself that this Immortal Luo should be a high-ranking immortal sent by the Huangting Dao to oversee the Huangting Gathering.
"Speaking of which, the origin of this Yellow Court Gathering is related to the Heavenly Emperor. Some of the entanglements have caused this old beggar a lot of headaches. Now that the Heavenly Emperor has arrived in person, some problems can be easily solved," the old beggar said, taking a big gulp of wine from his gourd, as if Qin Sang's arrival had solved a major problem for him.
Unfortunately, Qin Sang was completely confused and frowned, saying, "This humble Taoist just happened to be here by chance, and I did not come for this purpose. I wonder what the immortal is talking about?"
Before he could finish speaking, the old beggar glanced at Qin Sang's sleeve and said, "The spirit insect has just attained enlightenment, so the Heavenly Lord must be too busy to attend to it. How about we wait ten days until we reach the shores of the Wind Sea, where this old beggar will explain the situation to the Heavenly Lord and take him somewhere?"
Qin Sang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright."
Since the other party has identified him as the Heavenly Lord of the Dao Court, and the Yellow Court Assembly is related to the Dao Court, there is no way he can avoid it.
The old beggar's suggestion was exactly what he wanted, and he could use this time to think it over carefully. Moreover, the Heavenly Eye Butterfly had just completed its metamorphosis, and if the old beggar hadn't stopped him, he would have already returned to the secret palace to help the Heavenly Eye Butterfly stabilize its cultivation.
"The old beggar will not bother the Heavenly Lord any longer..."
The old beggar made to leave, but then remembered something, turned around and gave Qin Sang a deep look, saying meaningfully, "As fellow Daoists, to see the revival of the talisman lineage in my lifetime makes this old beggar extremely gratified!"
Having said that, the old beggar rode away on the wind, still dressed in tattered clothes and with disheveled hair, yet he exuded a sense of detachment.
Qin Sang watched his retreating figure, pondering the meaning behind the old beggar's last words. Was he implying that they harbored no ill will towards the Dao Court, and that she should lower her guard against them?
This aligns with what Yuan Zhenjun said: apart from Qianzhou, not all attitudes toward the Daoist court were hostile; many might even have welcomed it.
However, the old beggar was only expressing his own thoughts; what was Huang Tingdao's attitude?
Qin Sang's thoughts raced as she flew towards the Purple Lake Cave.
After the old beggar appeared, all the hidden gazes were withdrawn, and Qin Sang confirmed that no one was following her.
After entering the Purple Lake Cave, Qin Sang sealed off the cave, temporarily putting aside her worries. With a gentle flick of her sleeve, a ray of spiritual light flew out.
The light faded, and the butterfly's shadow appeared, somewhat elusive.
Qin Sang sensed the fluctuations emanating from the Heavenly Eye Butterfly. He had been on high alert but had not detected the aura of the extraterrestrial demons, so there was no need to summon Dragon Thunder Lord. However, judging from the Heavenly Eye Butterfly's condition, it was likely also troubled by its inner demons.
It was clear that Tianmu Butterfly's consciousness had been somewhat confused, but it was gradually regaining its senses, indicating that it had overcome its inner demons.
The Tianmu butterfly's appearance is closer to that of a swallowtail butterfly. What is most striking about it is its pair of eyes, one azure thunder eyes and the other a crimson fire eyes, which occupy almost half of the butterfly's wings, yet do not appear out of place at all.
Within the Thunder and Fire Eyes, lightning and flames constantly flow, their divine light dazzling, seemingly capable of captivating the soul and making one dare not look directly at them, making the Earthly Eye Butterfly even more magnificent and mysterious.
At this moment, the butterfly's wings spread out, hovering in mid-air. Suddenly, it flapped its wings slightly and slowly landed.
The lightning and fire on the butterfly's wings gradually faded, and she seemed to be closing her third eye. At the moment of landing, a sudden flash of spiritual light appeared.
The next moment, the Heavenly Eye Butterfly disappeared, and a little girl appeared in front of Qin Sang.
"Finally, I can transform into human form!"
Qin Sang's face was filled with surprise.
Most demons can transform into humans during the Transformation Stage, but spirit insects must wait until the Seventh Transformation, which is equivalent to the Integration Stage of a cultivator, before they can truly transform.
After the Tianmu Butterfly transforms into human form, it looks about six or seven years old, with delicate features, handsome and approachable, making it very lovable.
Qin Sang noticed Tianmu Butterfly's eyebrows and eyes, feeling they were somewhat familiar. Suddenly, she thought of Liuli. Could it be that she used Liuli as a template when she transformed? Looking at Tianmu Butterfly's body, she was barefoot on the ground, and her dress was woven from lightning and flames. However, she vaguely remembered that Liuli had once worn the style of the dress.
Tianmu Butterfly's features are not exactly the same as Liuli's; she has her own unique charm. If outsiders saw them standing together, they might mistake them for mother and daughter.
At this moment, Tianmu Butterfly's eyelids trembled slightly, and she slowly opened them. Her eyes were somewhat vacant, as if she had not yet fully awakened from the illusion of her inner demons.
Qin Sang squatted down in front of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly and saw that her pupils were heterochromatic, just like the previous Heavenly Eye Butterfly, one being a Thunder Abyss and the other a Fire Pool, adding to her eerie appearance.
Qin Sang's face was reflected in her deep pupils.
Suddenly, Tianmu Die stared blankly at the face so close yet so familiar, then a blush instantly spread from her neck to her small face, her delicate cheeks turning bright red, and she buried her head in Qin Sang's arms.
"What's wrong with this girl?"
Qin Sang was completely bewildered. She hugged Tianmu Die and gently stroked her head. "Did you encounter something in the illusion of the inner demons? Don't be afraid, it's all fake..."
He paused, then suddenly stopped. This girl's reaction wasn't fear, but rather shyness. He wondered what she had encountered in the illusion of inner demons...
The child has grown up and become sensible.
Qin Sang smiled inwardly. He subconsciously regarded Tianmu Butterfly as a four or five-year-old girl. In fact, Tianmu Butterfly had accompanied him on his campaigns, and her hearing was no less than his own.
"Who did you dream about just now?" Qin Sang deliberately brought up the topic she didn't want to discuss.
'boom! '
'boom! '
The Heavenly Eye Butterfly refused to give in, wriggling in his arms and lightly stomping its feet twice with a force comparable to an earth dragon turning over, almost shattering the Purple Lake Cave.
Qin Sang secretly wiped away a cold sweat, dared not joke anymore, and gently pushed her out of his arms after comforting her.
Tianmu Die's face was still flushed, and she kept her head down, avoiding his gaze.
Qin Sang gently combed her messy hair, her eyes filled with affection, and asked softly, "Can you talk?"
Tianmu Butterfly nodded her chin, but still didn't look up.
Qin Sang lowered her head, turned her face to the side, and asked with great interest, "How did you come up with the idea of transforming into this form?"
"nice."
The sound of the Tianmu butterfly is as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and as clear and crisp as a wind chime under the eaves.
She lowered her head even further and added, "My brother likes it."
"What?" Qin Sang was taken aback.
"elder brother!"
Tianmu Butterfly's voice suddenly grew louder. She quickly glanced at Qin Sang, then reached out her small hand and firmly grasped Qin Sang's finger.
Qin Sang had always treated Tianmu Die like a daughter, but this girl took it upon herself to recognize him as her brother and sister. Looking at the little hand that firmly held hers, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to correct her.
Not wanting to continue on this topic, Qin Sang said, "How about I call you Xiaodie from now on?"
Tianmu Butterfly's little mouth visibly pouted as she whispered, "Qin... Xiaotian."
"Xiao Tian is no better than Xiao Die!"
Qin Sang laughed heartily; the two of them were equally skilled at naming things.
Xiao Tian snorted and said reluctantly, "Then let's add Li."
"Qin Tianli... Tianli, that's a nice name," Qin Sang nodded in satisfaction, unaware of Tianli's eye roll.
This banter gradually faded the blush on her face.
Qin Sang then inquired about Tian Li's gains from this breakthrough, and what exactly the gray mist space that he couldn't see through before was.
Cultivation is the foundation of a cultivator, and when talking about her own cultivation, Tian Li's expression became serious.
Although she had only recently taken human form, she had followed Qin Sang for many years and already understood human speech. At first, her speech was somewhat hesitant, but after a few sentences, it became very fluent and her expression was very clear. Even for things that were difficult to describe in words, Qin Sang and she could communicate through their hearts, and Qin Sang understood her thoughts.
However, what Tianmu Butterfly said was far beyond Qin Sang's expectations.
"What did you say? You were born with a defect?" Qin Sang looked surprised.
Tianmu Butterfly nodded and said, "This was left in that divine power by the senior. I only comprehended it after my transformation..."
Qin Sang frowned deeply and fell into deep thought.
Just now, Tianmu Butterfly described in detail how she comprehended the secret technique given to her by Void Butterfly. It was not only a secret technique, but also a power containing profound and mysterious supernatural abilities, which was extremely difficult for Tianmu Butterfly to understand before her transformation.
That's why she slept for so long, and after truly comprehending it, the effect was immediate. In addition, the Qilin Origin greatly enriched her foundation, so she broke through to a higher realm in one go.
This transformation came very suddenly, and it would have been extremely dangerous without Qin Sang's protection, but the Heavenly Eye Butterfly itself could not control it.
Tianmu Butterfly was completely absorbed in the power of the Void Butterfly, analyzing its mysteries. It seemed as if she had touched a key point in the universe, and suddenly realized that her opportunity for transformation had arrived. However, it was too late to warn Qin Sang.
After her transformation, the Heavenly Eye Butterfly discovered that the power held another mystery. The Void Butterfly had left her a message, or rather, a warning.
The spirit insect race is born with a deficiency;
To enter the Eight Transformations is as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Qin Sang had just been marveling at how the Spirit Insect Clan was so fortunate, as even the Seven Transformations Tribulation only involved nine lightning bolts. Moreover, according to the Heavenly Eye Butterfly's experience, the Spirit Insect Clan not only didn't have the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, but it seemed they didn't even have the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
In that case, wouldn't one be able to obtain eternal life very early on? Or perhaps, like Mahayana cultivators, one only experiences the Tribulation of Formlessness?
According to what the Void Butterfly said, this does not seem to be the case.
For every gain there is a loss, nothing in this world is more or less the same.
According to Qin Sang's understanding of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation is not only a sword that obstructs the path, but also an opportunity to achieve the path. Without tempering, how can one see the true path?
If he hadn't lacked the tempering of inner demons, his journey of refining his mind and seeking the Dao during the Void Refinement stage might not have been so difficult, until the very last moment when he severed his own body with his sword and finally understood the Dao.
Compared to him, the Spirit Insect Clan lacks much more.
The Void Butterfly's statement about "being born with a deficiency" seems to be more than just a simple tribulation.
And what about the Void Butterfly's realm? Has it also been stuck at the seventh transformation and failed to break through to the eighth transformation?
but……
If the spirit insect race is born with a deficiency, the most well-known ascension legend in the spirit world is that of the Witch God, who is accompanied by a spirit insect, and it is a nine-transformation divine silkworm!
"What else did she say?" Qin Sang pressed.
From his own experience in the Insect Tomb, it's clear that the Void Butterfly highly values the Sky Eye Butterfly, a junior member of the same race. However, the Sky Eye Butterfly chose him during the trials. Later, the Ghost Mother brought the two back together. The things the Void Butterfly left behind couldn't just be a reminder.
“She said she gave me a seed,” Tianmu Butterfly said with a puzzled look on her little face.
"seed?"
"Ah."
Tianmu Butterfly spoke with some difficulty, because she couldn't understand what a 'seed' was either, so she couldn't describe it in words. Her voice was intermittent, "She said... she wanted to see if I could use this seed to break through the shackles and verify her ideas... and the seed can help my brother..."
Through telepathic communication, Qin Sang understood the meaning of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly and also gained some understanding of the Void Butterfly's intentions.
If the Void Butterfly remains blocked at the Eighth Transformation stage, she will certainly not be content and will try various methods to break through it. Some methods may not be applicable to her due to her cultivation level. Compared to her, the Heavenly Eye Butterfly is like a blank sheet of paper, which can be tested on the Heavenly Eye Butterfly.
Therefore, the Void Butterfly left behind not only a secret technique, but may also have subtly altered or adjusted certain aspects of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly.
The peculiar gray fog space may be the 'result'.
As for whether doing so could help the Sky-Eyed Butterfly break through its limitations, the Void Butterfly had no clear answer.
Furthermore, the Void Butterfly's claim that the Heavenly Eye Butterfly could help him actually refers to the time when he would create his own grotto-heaven in the future!
In the words of the Void Butterfly, it left them a seed.
Qin Sang hasn't even fully comprehended the Law Domain yet, so how could he dare to dream of 'creating his own paradise'? It will probably be a very, very long time before he can verify the Void Butterfly's claim.
After pondering for a long time, he had the Heavenly Eye Butterfly use the Gray Mist Space to enter this place that was neither a law domain nor a supernatural power.
