Chapter 2612 Famous Sword, True Demon
Qin Sang flew out of the Five Elements Alliance's training ground, gently spinning the Thousand-Pound Ring. He had successfully sold his qualification for the Yellow Court Gathering to the Five Elements Alliance, reaping a considerable reward.
The Five Elements Alliance was wealthy and powerful, and Elder Yue immediately handed over a portion of the spiritual materials to Qin Sang. The remainder would be sent to the Yu family, as Qin Sang requested.
Elder Yue seemed convinced that he must come from a prestigious family and could not possibly join the Five Elements Alliance. He was not as enthusiastic as Qin Sang had imagined in trying to win him over, which suited Qin Sang's wishes perfectly.
With a flash of light, Qin Sang landed on a mountaintop. Moments later, Yu Chang'en hurriedly arrived, knelt down, and bowed, "Chang'en greets Elder Qin..."
He originally wanted to call himself Qin Zhenjun, but he had reservations.
"With your intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult for you to guess my origins," Qin Sang said calmly.
The regulations of Qingyang Prefecture basically follow those of the Dao Court, and anyone who has been to Qingyang Prefecture can guess its relationship with the Dao Court. Of course, Yu Chang'en certainly cannot imagine that he is the Dao Court's Heavenly Lord who is renowned throughout the Demon Realm.
Sweat beaded on Yu Chang'en's forehead, and he was filled with trepidation. "Chang'en has never revealed a single word to outsiders..."
After that day, Elder Qin's name spread far and wide. Thanks to Elder Qin, the Burning Crystal Sect's training ground became the focus of everyone's attention. In the past few days, visitors have been coming in droves. Not only was Young Master Yan beaming with joy, but he also experienced unprecedented glory, even surpassing the Yu family's heyday.
Young Master Yan highly praised him, and in Young Master Yan's words, he had become Elder Qin's close friend despite their age difference, with immediate results.
The attitude of the Yunbo Society towards the Yu family has also undergone a subtle change. News has just come back that the troubles that had been giving him a headache have been easily resolved. Some forces that had been pressing the Yu family step by step have suddenly stopped their efforts. Some are still observing, while others are secretly showing goodwill.
Seeing that the Yu family seemed to be able to weather the crisis, Yu Chang'en did not become complacent.
The Yu family has served cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage before, and they know all too well the dangers of serving a ruler, let alone a True Lord. How could he possibly accept the "benefits" offered by this person without knowing their true intentions towards the Yu family?
Ultimately, the Yu family and the Qingyang Alliance are merely business allies, and allies can be changed at any time. There is no reason for this person to treat him differently or to vigorously promote the Yu family.
These past few days, countless thoughts have been churning in his mind. If this person is indeed a Daoist True Lord, his appearance here now is no coincidence. It means that the Daoist Court has been making arrangements in Xunzhou for a long time.
If the Yu family could get in touch with the Daoist court, it would attract countless envious and jealous people; just look at the bustling Northern Region right now. Everyone in Xunzhou wants a piece of the pie, but the small Yu family just happened to get it.
As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. This also means that the Yu family will be dragged into the vortex and will not be able to escape. I'm afraid the Yu family's small body cannot withstand the damage and will eventually be doomed!
"In a while, the Five Elements Alliance will send these spiritual materials to the Yu family," Qin Sang said, handing him a jade slip.
Having the Yu family collect the spiritual materials on his behalf is undoubtedly a way of announcing his relationship with the Yu family to the outside world.
In an instant, all of Yu Chang'en's worries and distractions became mere illusions. Faced with the other party's will, he and the Yu family had no choice whatsoever!
Yu Chang'en felt relieved and respectfully accepted the jade slip. "Chang'en will immediately return to Xianlin Lake and personally check the contents!"
He thought to himself, "So be it. For the Yu family, things can't get any worse. It's good that they're wholeheartedly following Qin Zhenjun. At least the trouble with Ancestor Gongming should be resolved."
Qin Sang was very satisfied with his attitude and thought to himself that this person was worth using. He then said, "After this matter is settled, I will personally go to Xianlin Lake. At that time, you will accompany me to visit Sect Master Li of the Burning Crystal Sect in the name of the Five Elements Alliance."
Yu Chang'en's eyes gradually brightened. What he feared most was that this Qin Zhenjun was impatient for quick success. As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. The forces in Xunzhou were complex and incredibly resilient. No matter how deep the Dao Court's foundation was, if it didn't employ strategy and tried to intimidate others with its power, these forces gathered in the Northern Region would instantly become the Dao Court's adversaries.
Qin Zhenjun's continued use of the Five Elements Alliance's name demonstrates the Dao Court's patience to proceed gradually, a prudent move indeed. Furthermore, winning over the Burning Crystal Sect is a brilliant strategy; even if Qin Zhenjun is not in Xunzhou in the future, the Yu family will have a powerful ally for support.
As for the Yu family making connections with outsiders, it's not a big problem in the Yunbo Association. Which force in the alliance doesn't have outside support? The more allies they have and the deeper their background, the more respect they receive, and the Yunbo Association will be happy to see it happen.
Xunzhou is like a vast, intricately interwoven net, encompassing all forces. Tian Shi Xu itself is the backbone of this net, with only Huang Ting Dao and Duan Hong Island able to maintain their transcendent status, yet they too are intricately connected to this net.
"Chang'en obeys!" After only meeting Qin Sang once, Yu Chang'en's mood was completely different before and after, and his fighting spirit was rekindled.
By this time, he had already identified himself as a disciple of Qin Sang and had fully assumed the role. He planned to inform Young Master Yan in advance upon returning to gauge the attitude of the Burning Crystal Sect. If the other party shared the same intention, all would be well; if any twists and turns occurred, there would be room for maneuver.
Since that's the case, Yu Chang'en no longer trembled before Qin Sang. He asked questions directly and addressed Qin Sang as Elder Qin. "Elder Qin, are you going to return to Wuhai via Xunzhou this time?"
He knew Qin Sang hadn't been back for a long time.
"After wandering for so long, I always have to go back and see," Qin Sang said with emotion. "Has the Fog Sea changed in all these years?"
Yu Chang'en said, "The alien race still maintains the structure of the Water and Sky divisions. Although there are occasional conflicts, it doesn't feel as antagonistic as before. The trade route between the Water and Sky divisions is much more peaceful. Also, there haven't been any natural disasters like fog waterfalls and fog tides in the Fog Sea for a long time."
Qin Sang knew the truth; it must be related to the anomaly at the sacred site of the alien race.
All indications suggest that the formation of the sea of fog is likely related to that mysterious dream, or even an extension of the power of the dream. Each time a fog waterfall is formed, it may be caused by the vibration of the dream, and the aftershocks of the dream become a natural disaster that everyone fears!
The fact that the dream seed was formed back then meant that the dream's owner might have awakened and that someone was controlling the dream, which is why the foggy sea returned to stability.
Without the Dream Seed, there would be no Qin Sang today. He knows the power of the Dream Master. With this person's status and strength, what difficulty would it be to unify the Water and Sky Divisions?
“Furthermore, Yuanqiao City has lost its former significance,” Yu Chang’en continued. “Now, the various tribes of the Alien Race can directly enter the Holy Land from their own ancestral temples to participate in training, without having to pass through Yuanqiao City. It is said that the powerful Alien Race members have moved the Holy Land from there to a more mysterious place. Yuanqiao City has now become a veritable trading fair, held periodically as a trading place for the various tribes. Although it is much more lively than before, there are far fewer Alien Race experts to be seen…”
The changes that Yu Chang'en mentioned occurred one after another after that anomaly in the holy land.
Qin Sang wasn't clear on what these changes truly meant, but he could sense the impending great upheaval from the subtle signs. Coupled with his experiences traveling, Qin Sang was grateful that he had broken through to the Integration Stage at this time, at least giving him some means of self-protection when the great transformation arrived.
As for Qingyangzhi, it has been steadily developing according to his original plan, and now it boasts a wealth of talented individuals and its strength is growing daily. Qin Sang didn't ask further, presumably because he wouldn't let him know the true secrets of Qingyangzhi.
After seeing Yu Chang'en off, Qin Sang looked north and flew slowly towards the Xunfeng Sea. Luo Xianweng had only said they would meet at the edge of the Wind Sea, without specifying a location, suggesting he would find her.
Soon, the blue sea of wind came into view, and an endless gale blew in our faces.
Qin Sang casually chose a mountain, stood facing the wind, as if intently admiring the beautiful scenery. A short while later, a wisp of white cloud drifted in.
No matter how strong the wind was, the white clouds drifted at the same speed, slowly landing in front of Qin Sang; it was none other than Luo Xianweng.
Luo Xianweng was still dressed as a disheveled beggar, grinning as he bowed and said, "I've kept the Heavenly Lord waiting."
"I dare not! I am ignorant and have only recently learned of the immortal's deeds, and I admire him greatly," Qin Sang said solemnly, bowing in return.
"These are all fabricated rumors and unreliable," Luo Xianweng waved his hand, looking back at Feng Hai. "The source of the chaos lies deep within Feng Hai. I'd like to trouble the Heavenly Lord to move over and we can talk as we walk."
"Alright."
The two immediately set off and entered the sea of wind. It was as if there was an invisible protective barrier around them, and the Xun wind could not penetrate more than three zhang (approximately 10 meters) into their territory.
They didn't flee fast, nor were they arrogant or impatient; they walked side by side.
"It seems the Heavenly Lord didn't intend to expose himself?" Luo Xianweng asked bluntly.
Qin Sang knew that with Huang Tingdao's abilities, he must have thoroughly investigated her experiences in Xunzhou, and it wasn't hard to guess that the spirit insect's tribulation was more like an accident.
"Immortal Elder, you guessed correctly. My spirit insect unexpectedly obtained a fortuitous opportunity and suddenly broke through its cultivation level. Otherwise, I was planning to use my identity as an elder of the Five Elements Alliance to travel around Xunzhou before leaving," Qin Sang said calmly, turning to look at Immortal Elder Luo. "My family and I have some connection. In the future, when I am not in Xunzhou, I hope you can help look after us."
Qin Sang's plan to use the Yu family to make arrangements could not be kept secret from Huang Tingdao, so he might as well be more open about it. His tone suggested a deep friendship between them, entrusting an old friend to take care of the younger generation.
At the same time, he was also stating that the Dao Court had no plans to launch a large-scale invasion of Xunzhou and that there was no need to treat them as a formidable enemy.
"Of course! Of course!"
Luo Xianweng readily agreed, "Yu Chang'en is a remarkable person. Congratulations to the Heavenly Lord for gaining such a great general."
He paused, then changed his tone, "So, the Heavenly Lord didn't come because of that matter?"
"What is the immortal talking about?" Qin Sang frowned.
Luo Xianweng's gaze swept over Qin Sang's face. Seeing that his expression did not seem to be feigning, he pondered for a moment and said, "Heavenly Lord, please be patient. Since we have invited you here, there will be no concealment. However, there is still one fellow Daoist who has not arrived. When he arrives, this old beggar will explain everything to you together."
"Is there anyone else?"
Luo Xianweng nodded, "The old beggar sent a talisman to Duanhong Island, but we don't yet know which fellow Daoist Duanhong Island will send."
Everyone said that no cultivators from Duanhong Island were seen, guessing that Duanhong Island did not want to get involved in the troubles of the Northern Region. Little did they know that Huang Tingdao and Duanhong Island had already secretly communicated. Judging from Luo Xianweng's tone, Duanhong Island should also send an extraordinary person.
As they spoke, they gradually ventured deeper into the Wind Sea. Qin Sang initially thought this matter was also related to the Linfeng Clan, but later discovered that it was increasingly deviating from the intended path.
"There is a rare mine ahead..."
Luo Xianweng pointed forward and finally got to the point, "This extraordinary mine is not a common spiritual mine in the world. Its output consists of rare and mysterious items that are hard to find elsewhere. This extraordinary mine was initially discovered by the Linfeng Clan, but the mine veins are loose and cover a very wide area, and some places are hidden and hard to find, so the Linfeng Clan could not take over it all. Later, it was accidentally discovered by one of the old beggar's fellow disciples, so the sect also sent people to explore it. Because the extraordinary mine is located deep in the Fenghai Sea, we did not disturb the Linfeng Clan. We mined at the other end of the extraordinary mine, and we have been at peace with each other all these years."
Qin Sang understood. "The Taiping Order was created because of this extraordinary mine?"
“Indeed, the rare mineral is about to be revealed to the world. Fenghai is currently unclaimed and cannot be monopolized by one or two families. Rather than everyone rushing in and destroying this treasure land, it would be better to first come up with a plan. But these are just appearances,” said Luo Xianweng.
The real secret lies beneath the surface, but Luo Xianweng insists on waiting for Duanhong Island.
"What's so special about this mine?" Qin Sang wondered.
The more mysterious a place is, the more likely it is to be related to the Taoist court.
Luo Xianweng explained, "The things produced here are not things that can be naturally produced in the spirit world. At first, we thought that it might be the Xun wind causing trouble, which affected the operation of the Great Dao here, thus producing things that cannot be found elsewhere. Later, we found that this was not the case. The strange minerals produced are all things from beyond the heavens!"
"A meteorite from outer space?"
Qin Sang knew that news of meteorites falling from the heavens had been circulating in various parts of the spirit world. These meteorites often carried rare treasures that were hard to find in the world, causing a battle.
“It’s not just a meteorite from outer space, and there’s more than one,” Luo Xianweng gestured with his arms outstretched. “That place is like a deep pit filled with magnetic fields, attracting countless objects from outer space, which fall into that area.”
As they were talking, a sword's cry suddenly interrupted Luo Xianweng. The sound was faint, but it clearly reached their hearts, and even the strong wind could not cover it up.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a sword light like a rainbow breaking through the wind. The sword intent of the opponent even caused the Taiyin Spirit Sword in Qin Sang's body to tremble slightly!
This is a true sword cultivator!
"So it's Peak Master Ye!" Immortal Luo recognized the person and clapped his hands and laughed.
"Ye Loucheng, Peak Master of Rainbow Sword Peak, Broken Rainbow Island!"
The voice arrived before the man appeared. A white-clad man carrying a sword came forward, bowed to Luo Xianweng, and his sharp gaze, like the light of a sword, pierced Qin Sang. "I heard that the Heavenly Lord previously used his sword domain to protect the spirit insects?"
Qin Sang was slightly taken aback, but there was nothing wrong with admitting it; he had indeed been using the Sword Domain to conceal his identity.
Unexpectedly, Ye Loucheng frowned suddenly and said in a deep voice, "Is the way of the sword really such a cheap thing?"
Luo Xianweng quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Peak Master Ye is straightforward and has his reasons. He was not targeting the Heavenly Lord. I hope the Heavenly Lord will not take offense. Back then, the Sword Pavilion was a holy land in the hearts of billions of sword cultivators in the Spirit Realm. However, the one who founded the Sword Pavilion was a demon in name only, causing a great calamity that has left its mark to this day. Although Duanhong Island is not affiliated with the Sword Pavilion, it was also deeply implicated back then."
