Chapter 2644 Dual Law Domains
The Thunder Beast Guardian possesses power comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, but it is merely a puppet without intelligence and lacks a domain of magic.
Ultimately, this is because the lightning power within its body is sealed, unaffected by the domain of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and its immense power and sharpness allow it to unleash the force to destroy a Nascent Soul cultivator's domain. It can be the sharpest spear, wielding a lightning spear to rampage through the enemy's domain.
This is thanks to the original owner of the Thunder Beast Guardian, who, relying on his profound mastery of the art of puppetry, unleashed the potential of all the spiritual materials, achieving incredible results and creating this puppet.
But precisely because of this, the Thunder Beast Guardian's potential has been exhausted, and it has lost the possibility of going any further.
At least Qin Sang can't think of any way to further improve the Thunder Beast Guardian's strength and bring it to a level comparable to a mid-stage or even late-stage Integration cultivator.
However, that's enough to deal with the current situation!
On the surface, without considering the superposition of the two magic domains, both sides are powerful individuals at the level of Demon Lords, and can be considered evenly matched.
Qin Sang is no ordinary newly promoted demon lord.
Although the Thunder Beast Warrior is not as versatile as a true Demon Lord, it excels in its purity, fearlessness in the face of death, and unwavering determination. Even a true Demon Lord might not be able to withstand the sharpness of the Thunder Spear!
Even if Qin Sang doesn't use her full strength, she can't be easily defeated.
When the Thunder Beast Guard appeared and was locked onto by the aura of the Thunder Spear, the confidence and contempt in Kuang Mojun's eyes vanished instantly, and his expression changed drastically.
Lady Jade Goddess exclaimed in shock, "A Demon Lord-level puppet!"
The Star Sand Sea has the inheritance of three Celestial Venerables and other sects of all sizes. Demon Lords are not uncommon, but Demon Lord-level puppets are extremely rare.
Aside from veteran powerhouses like the Sea God Temple's Muji Palace Master, whose foundation is unfathomable, the Star Sand Sea has only one Demon Lord-level puppet, which is a sect's most well-known treasure.
At this moment, the newly promoted demon lord she had identified actually produced a demon lord-level puppet!
"Junior sister, how do we know he's not just bluffing!" Lady Jade Goddess received a telepathic message from Demon Lord Kuang.
After the initial shock, Demon Lord Kuang quickly realized that Demon Lord-level puppets were not so easy to forge, otherwise Demon Lord-level puppets in the Star Sand Sea would not be so rare.
For a mere newly ascended Demon Lord to create a Demon Lord-level puppet, perhaps only the Heavenly Puppet Master lineage, one of the Ten Heavenly Venerables, could accomplish such a feat.
Unless this person has extraordinary luck and obtains this puppet from elsewhere.
This puppet may appear sharp and powerful, but it might be all bark and no bite, just a bluff.
Lady Jade Goddess was more rational than Demon Lord Kuang. The Thunder Beast Warrior's aura was perfectly integrated and flawless. Neither she nor Demon Lord Kuang's domain power could penetrate its body in the slightest. Instead, the Thunder Spear caused the evil wind to turbulent...
All signs indicate that it is unlikely to be a bluff. If this Qingfeng Demon Lord has such means as to deceive the two of them with an ordinary puppet, it means that his strength is even more terrifying!
Qin Sang seemed to know what they were thinking. A thought flashed through his mind, and in an instant, thunder roared in the sky. The Thunder Beast Warrior and his spear became one, and he transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing into the fierce wind.
Then a dark bolt of lightning tore through the fierce wind, leaving a shocking crack in the wind wall.
'Snap!'
A thunderous roar seemed to tear this crumbling secret palace apart completely.
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, crashing into the spirit pool. The lightning abruptly stopped above the spirit pool, transforming back into a puppet-like body.
With the Thunder Spear pointed diagonally, the Thunder Beast Warrior and the Demon Lord Kuang faced off across the void.
Seeing this, Demon Lord Kuang's face turned ashen, and Lady Jade Goddess sighed, having lost her last shred of hope, and had no more doubts about the strength of the Thunder Beast Guards.
For them, even unleashing a dual-domain technique might not defeat Qin Sang, and even if they won, it would be meaningless if they couldn't finish the battle quickly.
The clone is dead. Even if they use secret techniques to cover it up, Lan Yin Yuanjun will notice something is wrong. Reinforcements will likely arrive soon. They don't have much time left and can't afford to delay.
Moreover, this Snow Ginseng is not yet mature; its seventh leaf is smaller than the others. It must be fully matured before it can be harvested, otherwise it would be a waste. Of course, they couldn't wait here for it to mature. Lady Jade Goddess had prepared methods to accelerate its ripening. Although forcing it to grow would reduce its medicinal properties, there was no better choice.
If this Qingfeng Demon Lord insists on demanding an explanation from them, they will have no chance to accelerate the ripening of the Snow Ginseng.
If taking action is not advisable, then there is only one option left.
Lady Jade Goddess remained calm, staring intently at Qin Sang before her. "Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, is this Snow Ginseng the compensation you seek?"
Qin Sang said calmly, "This could have been a happy ending for everyone, but because of Madam's selfish motives, the scene has become so ugly. Over the years, I have been fortunate to be entertained by Madam and have no intention of making enemies with her. Moreover, I am not a greedy person. I only want an explanation. You can cut the spiritual ginseng into three pieces, and I will only take one piece."
"It's all my fault for being blind..."
Lady Jade Goddess seemed to have resigned herself to her fate. She gave a bitter smile and said self-deprecatingly, "With Fellow Daoist Qingfeng's help, the speed at which the Snow Ginseng matures should be faster than expected."
Kuang Mojun was filled with resentment. After being persuaded by Lady Yu Shen through telepathy, he realized that the situation was beyond his control. He could only suppress his anger, let out a cold snort, and landed on the edge of the spirit pool, stepping on the surface of the water.
Immediately afterward, a flash of inspiration appeared, and Qin Sang and Lady Jade Goddess descended, the three of them each occupying a corner, surrounding the Snow Ginseng. The Thunder Beast Guard stood behind Qin Sang, diligently protecting their master.
Upon learning of the method for accelerating ripening prepared by Lady Jade Goddess, Qin Sang couldn't help but marvel at its ingenuity.
Lady Jade Goddess conjured a golden funnel, which slowly rose and floated towards the center of the spirit pool, arriving directly above the Snow Ginseng. Qin Sang and Demon Lord Kuang acted simultaneously, cooperating with Lady Jade Goddess to activate this treasure.
The moment the golden funnel began to spin, the entire spirit pool stirred. A powerful suction force emanated from the golden funnel, causing the water surface to rise high and the pool water to flow backward, being sucked into the golden funnel.
At the same time, Lady Jade Goddess lightly waved her cloud sleeves, scattering patches of blue clouds. Upon closer inspection, these clouds were actually composed of densely packed strange insects. Their appearance differed from the previous ghostly insects, but their origin was the same.
The azure clouds suddenly dispersed, drifting to every corner of the secret mansion, followed by a rustling sound, like insects gnawing on food, which sent chills down one's spine.
In the blink of an eye, the ground of the secret chamber shrank by a whole level, as it was swallowed up by those strange insects.
What was swallowed was not only the earth, but also an immeasurable amount of true demonic energy.
The devouring continued, the ruins were completely consumed by the strange insects, but the insects did not grow larger. Their eyes grew deeper and deeper, and the secret realm seemed to be filled with dark green miasma.
Having nearly emptied the entire secret chamber, these strange insects finally satiated themselves, transforming into a dark green torrent that surged towards the golden gap.
'Clap clap clap clap!'
A series of explosions followed, and all the strange insects spontaneously exploded, leaving behind not the remains of the secret chamber, but wisps of extremely pure aura containing strange vitality, which surged into the golden funnel.
'Thud!'
The golden funnel seemed to contain an endless space; it swallowed so many things without spilling a single drop of spiritual liquid.
Lady Jade Goddess's loss of so many carefully cultivated strange insects was certainly not in vain. The seventh ginseng leaf, located directly below the funnel, seemed to have a mysterious power flowing into its veins, suddenly stretching out to its fullest extent and then beginning to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Before long, the seventh ginseng leaf grew to the same size as the other ginseng leaves, which meant that the Snow Ginseng had matured!
"Fellow Daoist Qingfeng..."
The Jade Goddess expended the most energy in accelerating the ripening of the Snow Ginseng. After a short rest, she spoke again, seemingly wanting to make one last attempt.
"If we were to cut this Snow Ginseng Ghost Ginseng in half, each person would only receive incomplete ginseng essence, which can only be used for alchemy. The best pill would be the Snow Ginseng Heavenly Dew Pill, which is merely a pill to enhance cultivation..."
She paused, and seeing that Qin Sang didn't respond, she said, "If you don't believe me, you can pluck a ginseng root and take a drop of ginseng essence. But be careful..."
"Sure?"
Qin Sang naturally wanted to see for herself, so she did as she was told, carefully cutting off the thinnest root. Immediately, a drop of blood-red ginseng liquid flowed out from the damaged area.
Surprisingly, the properties of the ginseng extract actually changed after it was separated from the ginseng.
Qin Sang took it into her hand and examined it carefully. The power in the ginseng liquid was indeed extremely pure. As Madam Yu Shen said, it could be used to refine pills to improve cultivation. However, the special aura unique to the Snow Ginseng had inexplicably disappeared.
"A complete Snow Ginseng is a true treasure; if its essence is extracted rashly, one will become just another ordinary person."
Lady Jade Goddess continued, "Fellow Daoist Qingfeng is still far from the Heavenly Tribulation, so I suppose you are not in a hurry to improve your cultivation. I am willing to compensate you with other treasures in exchange for this portion of ginseng essence! Even if it is a pill of higher quality than the Snow Ginseng Heavenly Dew Pill, I can find it for you, as long as you give me some more time..."
Before Madam Yu could finish speaking, Qin Sang interrupted, "Given past experience, I find it hard to believe that Madam won't turn on me ruthlessly after we leave. Compared to Madam's promises, I value the treasure I have more. If I were to offer you two this as a condition to give up the ginseng liquid, I doubt you would agree, would you?"
Upon hearing Qin Sang's question, Lady Jade God's eyes darkened, and Demon Lord Kuang snorted angrily.
Qin Sang was making plans in her mind.
It's very likely that, as Lady Yu Shen said, only a complete Snow Ginseng has extraordinary value, and the two senior and junior disciples obviously wouldn't give it to him.
But the threat from the Temple of the Sea God was closing in, and both sides were hesitant to act, neither wanting to make a move here. For the three people present, this had become a deadlock.
If that's the case...
Lady Jade Goddess is right. Compared to other cultivators of the same level, Qin Sang is too young. Heavenly tribulation is the least of his concerns, and pills that simply enhance cultivation are not very meaningful to him.
Rather than forcibly taking away some of the ginseng liquid, it would be better to exchange it for greater benefits.
But there was something even more captivating about Lady Jade Goddess and Demon Lord Kuang.
"but……"
Qin Sang suddenly changed her tone.
Lady Jade Goddess felt as if she had heard heavenly music, and her eyes suddenly lit up. Then she heard Qin Sang say, "If the two of you can immediately offer me a compensation that can move me, I would not mind helping you achieve your goal."
What a convenient way to help others achieve their goals! Kuang Mojun cursed the man's high-sounding words inwardly, but couldn't help feeling a surge of joy, for there was finally a glimmer of hope.
However, the two siblings exchanged a glance, both feeling helpless. This fellow's appetite was clearly enormous; they feared that even emptying their coffers wouldn't be enough to fill his belly.
With time running out, Madam Jade Goddess simply said, "What treasure can compensate for your loss, Fellow Daoist Qingfeng? Please speak frankly, and we will do our utmost to satisfy you."
Qin Sang finally bared his fangs, "The technique of overlapping magic domains that you two fellow Daoists used earlier is something I have never seen before, it is extremely novel. I wonder if you could teach me?"
"What? Fellow Daoist wants this?"
This greatly surprised Lady Jade Goddess and Lord Kuang.
A single secret technique was enough to satisfy their appetite, so it seemed like they hadn't suffered much loss. However, the two men showed no joy; their expressions grew even more somber.
This secret technique was something that the master and his sister had studied together for many years, and the effort and dedication they had put into it was unimaginable to ordinary people. How could they easily pass it on to outsiders?
Moreover, passing this method on to others means that they may be able to use the secret method to reverse the situation and break through the dual domains that they rely on most, which is equivalent to actively handing over the hilt of the knife to others!
"What do you need this secret technique for, fellow Daoist?" Lady Jade Goddess couldn't help but ask.
This kind of secret technique is meaningless to a solitary demon lord. It requires two demon lords to cultivate together, and they must trust each other very much. This is because during the cultivation process, they must be very familiar with each other's magic domains, which means they must also tell each other the weaknesses of their own magic domains. Even fellow disciples may not be able to do this, which is why such secret techniques are rare.
"Hehe, to be honest, Madam, I also have a junior sister," Qin Sang smiled slightly, making up a story.
Lady Jade Goddess was speechless.
Ever since Qin Sang took out the Demon Lord-level puppet, she knew she had misjudged him. It was not surprising at all that he had a fellow disciple at the Demon Lord level.
"To be honest, fellow Daoist, the Dual Domain Technique is rooted in another secret technique. Fellow Daoist cultivates the Great Dao of Fire, which is incompatible with the secret technique, making it difficult to achieve anything..."
Qin Sang simply smiled and remained silent.
What he actually wanted wasn't the secret technique, but rather the thought process of Lady Jade Goddess and Demon Lord Kuang. He didn't need to follow their every step; he just needed a reference.
Seeing that Qin Sang was determined to do so, Lady Jade Goddess had no choice but to secretly communicate with Demon Lord Kuang.
Give it to him!
Kuang Mojun coldly said, "So what if he sees through it? I have long had an inspiration. In less than two hundred years, I will make further progress and will most likely be able to make up for the flaw in the dual domains!"
More important than a secret technique is the complete Snow Ginseng.
Lady Jade sighed inwardly, took out a blank jade slip, inscribed it, and threw it at Qin Sang.
Qin Sang took it into his palm and scanned it with his divine sense. The Jade Goddess and Demon Lord Kuang hadn't specifically named the secret technique, simply referring to it as the Dual Domain. Upon seeing it, Qin Sang suddenly felt enlightened; some aspects were things he had already realized but had never quite understood.
"Please make yourself at home, both of you!"
Qin Sang put away the jade slip and led the Thunder Beast Guards out of the Spirit Pool.
Lady Jade Goddess breathed a sigh of relief and carefully collected the Snow Ginseng. After many twists and turns, she finally got what she wanted.
Without further hesitation, the three escaped from the secret chamber.
Shortly after they left, two powerful auras at the level of Demon Lords rushed in from the north and west respectively, only to find a crumbling mansion on the verge of collapse.
