Chapter 1984: Yue Du Bay

With the prevalence of Mahayana Buddhism, demons and monsters are restrained and wary, daring not to slaughter innocents or the weak at will.
Order is not necessarily a bad thing, but it's certain that some people dislike it and do not want to be bound by it.
Just as heroes emerge during times of chaos, great opportunities often arise amidst turmoil. These are the so-called people who are destined to succeed.

The Cloud Duke, who claims to be the leader of righteousness, is far from righteous in their actions when it comes to mortals.

If the hermit Gu Yun was killed by Qin Sang, and Yundou Heaven fell as a result, it wouldn't be entirely innocent either.
However, Qin Sang was not confident that he could kill both of them at once.
A Lianxu cultivator acts cautiously and carefully considers their own safety. Even when competing for the bronze pillar, it is difficult for them to end up both defeated.
Once Qin Sang made a move during their duel, the two of them would inevitably join forces to counterattack. The Four Elephant Sword Formation wouldn't be able to hold them back.
Thus, if the Thunder Altar is activated, it will be noticed by the two of them. They will directly escape, and Qin Sang will have no other choice but to give up.
Even if they cannot escape the range of the Thunder Platform and join forces to resist the Pledge of Thunder, the power of the Pledge of Thunder will still be greatly reduced.
Moreover, the thunder platform cannot be activated consecutively. Even if it were possible, Qin Sang couldn't do it. Activating it once would exhaust him greatly.
If we can't kill them all at once, then we'll be caught in a never-ending cycle of conflict.

Qin Sang is not afraid of strong enemies, but once he makes a mistake, he will miss a great opportunity.
Two major forces were locked in a struggle, bringing great chaos and deep-seated resentment to the world. He emerged at this time of crisis, turning the tide and saving the common people from disaster. This is precisely the opportune moment for the manifestation of the great Dao.
It will be impossible to bring them over again. Relying on Qin Sang alone, he doesn't yet have the strength to kill a Refining Void cultivator, which will affect his cultivation.
Exploiting the mutual distrust between Gu Yun Shou and Ming Gu Lao Zu, they divided the two, isolating one and confining the other, employing a strategy of feints and realities.
Now that Lu Hun Yuan is destroyed, the entire Yun Du heaven trembles. Qin Sang's goal has been achieved.
Leaving behind the solitary cloud elder is not without use.
Qin Sang glanced at the solitary cloud elder, deliberately creating the impression that he had a powerful force and a huge background behind him.
It is evident that the Lone Cloud Elder has been completely stunned.
After all, they are not carefree wandering cultivators. With a sect comes responsibility and restraint.
Unless Qin Sang wanted to destroy Yun Du Tian, Gu Yun Sou would certainly not dare to bring ruin upon himself.

Gu Yunsou is just right as a conduit for Qin Sang to enter the world.
Upon meeting Qin Sang's gaze, Gu Yun Shou's heart skipped a beat. However, he maintained his composure and continued to explain the method of breaking the formation.
The ancestor of the Minggu sect fell, and with no cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage to guard the Falling Souls Abyss, the protective formation's power was greatly reduced, barely worth mentioning.
Qin Sang listened, finding nothing amiss. She nodded slightly, then swiftly disappeared into the gully.
The chasm was deep and long, teeming with countless living creatures. As Qin Sang descended, he saw lush forests growing on both sides of the cliff face, extending all the way to the bottom.
This is the end of a paragraph.
Tiny sparks of fluorescence scattered between the trees, and green filled the crevices.
Fluorescence comes from the leaves of a special kind of plant that resembles vines and is found everywhere, serving as an underground light source.
They can move like living things, their leaf tendrils acting as hands, climbing among the branches.
The further down you go, the dimmer the fluorescence becomes, until you enter a world of darkness.

The entrance to Luohun Abyss is located in the middle.
Qin Sang and Gu Yun Shou, one north and one south, arrived at the two ends of Luohun Abyss Mountain Gate, and the remnants of Luohun Abyss were completely unaware.
This is a test.
With the convergence of immense power, a peculiar black mist enveloped Luohun Abyss. The mist swirled and danced, accompanied by eerie winds that whistled through the air, making the scene even more sinister.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Beneath the black mist, there were panicked faces and dozens of black coffins hanging.
These black coffins emanated a gloomy aura, their energies interlinked. A strange black mist seeped out from the cracks in the coffins, forming a powerful protective barrier around the area.
>
"As expected of a Corpse Demon, even the protective sect formation uses coffins."

Qin Sang's heart brightened with a sudden thought. In an instant, streaks of light descended from the sky, illuminating the underground.
The cultivators of Yunduo Heaven arrived upon the command of Gu Yun Old Man to break the formation.
They could hardly contain their eagerness, rushing down in a frenzy. Then, led by the Nine Immortals of Yun Prefecture, they launched a fierce assault from nine different directions, targeting the formation.
The crowd's magical artifacts formed nine surging currents, a vibrant rainbow of colors. Yet, the remnants of the Soul-Devouring Abyss felt nothing but indifference to this spectacle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As if a waterfall from the heavens, it continuously pounded against the formation.
Black mist billows, the black coffin shakes incessantly, and the iron chains suspending it clang ominously.
The remnants of the Fallen Soul Abyss trembled with fear, their hearts pounding like iron chains.
"Cloud Seal Old Ghost, you are audacious and reckless. When Master returns to the mountain, he will surely refine you into a corpse puppet, seal your soul, and let you suffer eternal damnation!"
A sharp hiss came from below.
Yunxi smiled coldly.
"That old zombie slaughtered countless souls. As the saying goes, what goes around comes around. He has long since met his demise, I'm afraid he can only be summoned by the underworld!"
"You, you corpse demons, sucking on yin qi and using humans as sacrifices, deserve to be thrown into hell and suffer endlessly! You have no place in the mortal world! I'll just send you back to the underworld to reunite with your old zombie comrades!"
Yún Xǐ's cold voice echoed into Luò Hún Yuān, causing a stir among the crowd.
The person who just spoke tried their best to soothe everyone, but it was impossible to calm their hearts. The Hush Mountain Formation hadn't been broken, and they themselves were already in disarray.
The ancestor of the ghost hawk has yet to appear and repel the enemy. No matter how much they refuse to believe it, it cannot change the fact.
Under the onslaught of the Nine Immortals from Yun Duo, the Hu Shan Grand Formation was forced to evolve through countless changes. Qin Sang and Gu Yun Shou witnessed this, and soon they understood the workings of the formation.
'Bang!'
'Boom!'
At both ends of the large formation, purple light and sword beams erupted simultaneously.
Gu Yun Shou raised his purple bamboo staff, aiming it at the empty space before him. He brought down the staff with force, its tip resembling a heavy hammer.
The purple streak of light rapidly spread through the strange black mist, splitting it into five parts.

Qin Sang stood still, his sleeve shooting out a sword glow.
The gray sparrow sword flew out of its sheath, instantly transforming into a beam of sword light aimed at the Falling Soul Abyss. Without any flourish, it slashed down from the air!
... 'Boom boom boom...'
The cliffs on both sides were shaking violently.
The black mist churned violently, finally unable to withstand the combined assault of Qin Sang and Gu Yun Shou.
“Click!”
As the remaining forces of Luohun Abyss cowered in terror, over a dozen black coffins shattered almost simultaneously. Fragments scattered, leaving only trembling iron chains swaying.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The black coffin shattered at an alarming speed. With only a third remaining, the great formation had reached a point of instability and could no longer be maintained.
"Swishing, swishing!"
The cultivators of Yunzhou shouted as they hacked and slashed, charging into Luohun Abyss like wolves.
At this time, Qin Sang and Gu Yun Shou had already entered the depths of Luohun Abyss, standing by the Black River.
'Pop!'
Qin Sang dropped a person to the ground.
That person's expression was surprisingly calm, but the ripples in their eyes betrayed the turmoil within.

He turned over and knelt on the ground, "Junior Mirror Hiding, pays respects to the two seniors."
The Lone Cloud Elder recognized Jing Zang and laughed, "This fellow is the proud disciple of the Old Zombie, quite cunning and highly favored by the Old Zombie. This great upheaval in the mortal world was his plan. Fortunately, this old man had surrounded the Soul Falling Abyss early on, otherwise, this fellow would have escaped."
>
“Please, seniors, show mercy. This junior is deeply trapped in a demonic lair, controlled by an old demon. I had no choice but to act as instructed.”
>
Jing Zang was uneasy, unable to tell if Gu Yun's attitude was friendly or hostile.
These cultivators from the Transcendent Void Realm are high and mighty. The sect still needs someone to manage it, and perhaps they could use their cunning to save their own lives. "Senior, spare this junior's life, and I will definitely do my best to repay your great kindness."
"Junior has followed the old demon for many years and knows a thing or two about the secrets of Luohun Abyss."
Qin Sang swept his gaze around. On both sides of the Black River were several stone mansions, presumably the treasure vaults of Luohun Abyss.
The Patriarch Minggou has been running the sect for many years, his foundation must be far more than this. There are secret realms and medicinal fields outside the mountain gate, controlled by Luohun Abyss, each of which is a great fortune.
It is more than enough to build up the Qingyang Temple.
Qin Sang looked at Yanjing, and said lightly: "Open your heart."
Jing Zang's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and in the end, he didn't dare resist. He allowed Qin Sang to strike a seal into his body, merging it with his soul.
From now on, we can only be slaughtered at will.
Gulong Lao took out a small pouch and gave it to Qin Sang. Inside were the spoils from this period of time, which Qin Sang readily accepted.
'Wow!'
The Black River rippled with water, revealing stone steps.
As the two descended the stone steps, they found a wide cavern beneath the river. The layout was more like a tomb than a chamber, with strange and eerie murals painted on its walls.
Gu Yun's was also entering the Luohun Abyss for the first time. He gazed intently and said, "The founding ancestor of the Luohun Abyss was buried here as an ancient corpse that remained uncorrupted for thousands of years. It gave birth to a spiritual entity that achieved enlightenment, and when it appeared in the world, its demonic flames raged throughout the heavens. The founder of our sect wanted to eradicate demons, but after several battles, he couldn't kill the ancient corpse. As we watched, he established his own sect here, becoming a major threat."
His voice grew softer and softer, his eyes captivated by the mural.
The mural is not very clear, as if the paint has faded with the passage of time, and there are a few places that seem to be peeling.
The pattern above is extremely simple, yet profound.
At a glance, Gu Yun Shou realized that this mural was unusual!
When the ancestor of the Soul-Falcon fell, all his belongings ended up in Qin Sang's hands. He thought there was nothing valuable left in the cave, but he found a peculiar mural.
Gu Yunshou was just about to be engrossed in the mural when he suddenly came to his senses. He glanced at Qin Sang and saw that his eyes were also drawn to the painting, with no intention of driving him away.
Unable to fathom Qin Sang's intentions, yet unable to resist the allure of the mural, Gu Yun Shou simply stopped pondering further and concentrated on studying the painting.
"I see..."
The lone cloud hermit murmured.
The fundamental martial art of Luohun Abyss must have a very deep connection to this mural, perhaps even originating from the Patriarch of Luohun Abyss who comprehended the mural and then borrowed from other schools to create it.
After looking at it for a while, he thought to himself that it was a pity. The murals contained more content related to body refinement and were very helpful for cultivators who specialized in this path, but they didn't align with the Yun Du Shan's lineage.
Gu Yunsou glanced at Qin Sang again, but couldn't tell anything from his expression.
This person practices both martial arts and Taoism. For him, the value of this mural probably surpasses most of the treasures possessed by the Patriarch Minggu.
I wonder if this person has obtained the complete legacy of Luohun Pond.
The Cloud Summit's campaign against the Corpse Demon only yielded cultivation techniques below the Nascent Soul stage. The most important transmissions were still in the hands of the ancestor of the Ghost Hawk,
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Inside are the insights of the Patriarch of Luòhùnyuān who pondered the murals. Just based on this content, it is worth taking the life of the Patriarch of Méiū.
Qin Sang didn't know that Gu Yunsou had thought of so much, and she was also pondering the matter in her heart.
He did obtain the inheritance of Luohun Abyss, but he only skimmed through it briefly and didn't have time to look into it in detail.
In his view, if one patiently contemplates the murals, they are most likely to glean insights into some methods of tempering one's bones.
As I have cultivated to this point, I have increasingly focused on Dharma aspects rather than purely refining the physical body.
Qin Sang vaguely felt that if this cultivation technique continued to be practiced, it would consume one's essence and completely integrate into the Dharma form.
If one were to cultivate another body refinement technique, with both physical body and dharma form emphasized, perhaps it could bring about significant improvements.
But, having too many cultivation methods is not necessarily a good thing.
Four Images Sword Array, Thunder Method...
How much energy and time can you still spare
Revered cultivators of the Void Refinement stage have boundless lifespans, yet they still face the tribulation of Heaven.
I'm stretched too thin!
Qin Sang sighed inwardly, hesitating in his heart. He didn't dwell on it for too long, retracted his gaze, and saw a stone table and stone stool inside the cave dwelling. He strode over and sat down.
“Please have a seat, fellow cultivator.”
Qin Sang reached out a hand, as if he were the master.
In fact, he was indeed the master of this place. Gu Yun Shou had made up his mind not to vie with him for Luohun Abyss.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"Would the Taoist Master care to play a game of chess with me here"
The solitary cloud hermit scanned the surroundings with a twinkle in his eye, then chuckled and settled down.
At least Qin Sang's attitude displayed no obvious hostility towards him and Yun Duotian.
"In fact, I am not skilled in the art of Go."
Qin Sang waved his hand dismissively, his fingers brushing against the Qianjun Ring. Several jade slips flew out and landed casually on the table.
"How many ancient formation ruins have been unearthed in the Fire Domain by your sect"
Gu Yun's eyes fell upon the jade slips, his heart understanding that the contents imprinted within them were fragments of ancient prohibitions left behind by the Panlong Ancient Formation in those ruins.
These are exactly the things that Ji Tianzong needs.
However, fragments alone are not enough; they must piece them together, connect all the ruins, successfully activate and trigger a shift in the ancient Panlong formation's first layer, only then will it be of value.
“Thirteen sites have been found, but they haven't been fully excavated. However, all of these combined aren't as valuable as a single Panlong Sky Pillar.”
"Are you talking about this"
Qin Sang took out the copper pillar.
It was bait, but I didn't expect it to be so valuable.
“Not bad!”
Gūyún Sǒu nodded, "The Panlong Tiānzhù is the most important artifact of the Panlong Gǔzhèn. If Jìtiān Zōng wants to recreate the Panlong Gǔzhèn, they can't miss the Panlong Tiānzhù. More is always better!"
“The Panlong Ancient Formation! A single relic covers the entire Fire Domain. How vast must this ancient formation be The splendor of the ancient Immortal Cultivation world is truly awe-inspiring…”
Qin Sang seemed to be just lamenting.
Gu Yun's, doubting nothing, agreed. "Indeed, otherwise why would Jitianzong place such importance on it The ruins of the Panlong Ancient Formation have been dormant for countless years, and it is uncertain when or why they will appear. To restore the Panlong Ancient Formation, Jitianzong has mobilized its resources and sent disciples to search every corner of Yuetou Bay for thousands of years. They've visited this place many times before, but never expected that a ruin would be hidden in this fiery realm."
Even though the entire Duxian realm of Duowan was mobilized by Jitianzong for a month, fewer and fewer newly discovered ruins have been found. However, it hasn't met the requirements of Jitianzong yet. It is rumored that the rewards for this Jitian Dharma Assembly are extremely generous. The old man has congratulated Dao Chang and Qingyangguan in advance.
Qin Sang remained composed, merely humming in response. He idly examined the Panlong Heavenly Pillar, feigning disinterest.
He didn't inquire about these matters in detail, and his knowledge of the Jiutian Dharma Assembly was only hearsay.
It is said that there are requirements to participate in the Jitien Dharma Assembly. Only forces from Yue Duwan recognized by the Jitien Sect can receive a formal invitation.
Gulong, with a covetous heart, probed further, and exclaimed enviously, "It is rumored that among the various treasures displayed by Jitian Sect, there's even a miniature cave heaven!"
