yss. I thought I had it all under control. But I didn't expect that Junior Brother Qin would actually resist the temptation of the Yama Banner and not use the Soul Pill for cultivation. For Junior Bro...The Twelve Demon Banners and the Ebony Sword protected him, but Qin Sang didn't suffer any attacks. He was just shaken more violently.

He steadied himself, carefully observing his surroundings. The sealing power here was identical to that outside.

This is where the main body of the seal resides. The secret realm across from it is actually part of the entire sealing power. For some unknown reason, it stood out beyond the Abyssal Ruins. The Heavenly Corpse Sect took advantage of the connection between the altar and the seal to communicate with the mysterious person trapped inside.

>

The source of the tremors is from above.

However, Qin Sang, according to previous experience, analyzed the restrictions in the water and found that the power of the seal converged in the opposite direction, deep at the bottom of the water.

After some thought, Qin Sang decided to go downstairs first.

He opened the way with his flying sword, diving rapidly down. He soon found the place.

Beneath the water, there stood a series of mountains as steep as swords.

These peaks are bare and lifeless.

On the summit of each mountain peak, there is a cave mouth, pitch black and bottomless. The seal seems to be suppressing these mountains, or perhaps the unknown entities within them.

These caves were like individual prisons, with their mouths wide open.

Qin Sang was still very cautious. He used the Heavenly Eye divine ability to observe his surroundings without making a sound.

If there is anything amiss, it will not escape the eyes of heaven.

With everything seeming normal, Qin Sang arrived at the edge of the mountain peak and laid out the twelve Demon Banners as a backup. Just in case there were any unforeseen circumstances inside the cave, having an escape route would be more effective.

These peaks and caves looked almost indistinguishable. Qin Sang randomly chose one at the edge and cautiously went inside.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

As soon as Qin Sang entered the cave, he immediately felt a sense of oppression. Although the seal had been broken, the residual power still tried to suppress the prisoner.

Qin Sang's protective divine energy fluctuated. He discovered that the seal wasn't simply a suppression; the power of the seal transformed into fine, needle-like lightning threads, forming a form of punishment. Even now, some of its power still lingered.

If it were a perfect seal, it would be hard to imagine the person suppressed here enduring countless years of suffering.

Qin Sang's sword energy protected her body, deflecting the punishment as she slowly descended into the mountain's belly.

This is the end, inside the mountain there's a square and regular space.

Within the mountain's belly, streaks of lightning danced.

The seal punishment only targeted living beings, sensing Qin Sang, it frantically rushed towards him, but was easily blocked by Qin Sang.

This is the place where sealing and punishment powers are strongest, but there's no one here and no unusual traces were found.

After exploring several caves in a row, they were all the same.

Qin Sang came to the tallest mountain in the middle. This was the place with the strongest sealing power. As soon as Qin Sang entered, he found something unusual.

The mountain's belly wasn't like the others, empty. Qin Sang saw a deep white light shining from it.

When he saw the source of the white light, his expression changed slightly, and his figure suddenly stopped.

On the ground, unlike other caves, there was a stone platform, but it was empty.

And before the stone platform, there was actually a bone formation!

Qin Sang took a glance and immediately confirmed that this bone formation was made of human bones.

The bone array had been here for countless years, devoid of any trace of blood. The ghastly white light emanated from the bones themselves, casting an especially eerie glow in this place.

Humerus, tibia, clavicle, patella, phalanges, ribs...

Every bone in the human body can be found here, even a complete spine, bent and placed at the center of the bone formation, completely refined, resembling a yin-yang diagram.

It was actually from a single person's bones!

The array master would flay and disembowel a whole person, arranging their flesh into a grand formation.

But Qin Sang counted them one by one, and he couldn't find a skull.

The bone array was somewhat scattered, but even with Qin Sang's insight, he could still see some clues. This bone array was probably used to resist the seal and punishment.

>

“Is the skull already damaged, or…”

Qin Sang was slightly taken aback.

He might have gotten it wrong. Perhaps the one setting up the trap wasn't dismantling someone else's bones, but their own!

In a place like this, where would a second person appear to turn the trapped into a bone array

Unless there were already two people trapped here, or this person was refining corpses.

In the cultivation world, strange things happen countless times. Those who are trapped and on the verge of death may, in order to resist punishment, refine their physical bodies into bone formations, hiding their souls within their skulls to barely survive. This is entirely possible.

At this point, Qin Sang probably understood why the mysterious person was willing to do anything to seek help from the outside world. It was very likely that the bone formation couldn't hold on any longer, and she was going to die here, making a desperate gamble as she neared death.

The seal is broken, the skull is gone, indicating that it has escaped.

Thinking about this, Qin Sang also felt a chill down his spine. If he were in that situation, he might not have the courage to make the decision to use the Bone Formation Secret Technique on himself.

Qin Sang fixed his gaze on the surroundings, observing carefully, wanting to find more clues.

Otherwise, the clues might be lost again.

As expected, Tan Hao had already rescued the mysterious person, but then he disappeared again, his whereabouts becoming a mystery. This is Qin Sang's biggest puzzle.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Just like the previous mountains, this one also has a smooth ground and walls without any patterns or writings.

Last, Qin Sang's gaze fell on the bone array.

"Eh..."

Qin Sang had an unexpected discovery, and then his figure flashed as he landed beside the bone formation.

Every white bone had a winding pattern on it, like some kind of unprecedented rune.

These runes are directly carved onto the bones, seeming to be a peculiar kind of bone curse.

“Are there any connections between bone curses and corpse refining”

Qin Sang thought to herself.

The White Bone Path and the Corpse Dao are different, but both are based on manipulating corpses.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He suspected that the Tian Shi Zong's inheritance was obtained through the altar from this mysterious person.

At the beginning, the Tian Shi Zong had corpse kings who could refine corpses, but they were unable to rescue the mysterious person. Perhaps it was because they were wary of the mysterious person and only wanted the benefits without wanting to release her. Perhaps it was because the sealing power at that time was too strong, and even the corpse king was powerless to break it...

Qin Sang's mind raced, carefully collecting the white bones. Since she couldn't find Tan Hao and the mysterious person, these bone curses could be considered a harvest.

After going back, you might be able to gain some insights from it.

As he retracted the spine, Qin Sang's eyes suddenly shifted, fixated on a bone inscription at a particular juncture of the vertebrae.

"This rune..."

Qin Sang's heart moved, and the Sky Corpse Talisman appeared in his mind.

The runes on this bone curse were very similar to one of the runes on the Celestial Corpse Talisman.

“Sure enough, there’s a connection!”

Qin Sang was delighted.

The lower half of the Tian Shi Sect's transmission, perhaps is not merely necromantic arts, but a fusion of the Path of Bones.

That's why I haven't had any clue all along.

It's a pity, but I still haven't found a way to break the Heavenly Corpse Seal.

Qin Sang put away the white bones while memorizing these bone curses, hoping that by studying them, he could find a way to decipher the Heavenly Corpse Talisman.

Also, you can bring it back to let Bai comprehend the Bone Curse.

Bai had possessed a Soul Pearl for decades, and had been in seclusion the whole time, yet he still hadn't managed to refine it, making his advancement to Soul King seem hopelessly distant.

It seems that the problem isn't a lack of strength, but rather the wrong approach.ises outside, this river was probably not small.Will the next test take place on the river of lavaLet me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Foundation-building cultivators can...
