Chapter 1829: Startled Retreat

the entire hall.Through the cracks in the door, one could see the scene inside the main hall.This is a Buddhist temple.Behind the main hall, there is a golden Buddha statue, resplendent and imposing....It is difficult to fathom Hongyu's intentions.

Mo Xingdao had died too quickly, so Qin Sang was unaware of the outcome of Hong Yizi's battle with the two demons. He didn't know how much strength Hong Yizi still possessed.

Now Qin Sang is on the brink of ruin.

Having slain three demons in succession, his reliance was on brute strength and cultivation prowess. Now grievously injured, he could only rely on the Inner Lion Seal to suppress his wounds.

Qin Sang was arrogant, even though the army of Hongyu's troops had been defeated, he was powerless to fight against a late stage Nascent Soul expert again.

As thoughts flashed, Qin Sang immediately made a decision. He took out several jade bottles and swallowed the flower dew in one gulp. Turning around, he opened his hands wide and continued to press down on the Five Element Crown.

The flames gradually dimmed, and within the palace only the glow of the Five-Elemental Robe remained. Its five colors shimmered, rising and falling like a breath.

The fluctuation of the treasure light was very gentle, seeming harmless to humans and animals. However, Qin Sang's mind remained tense.

Mo Xingdao had already passed down the method of manipulating the Five Elements Crown to Qin Sang. It wasn't a secret manual but rather a simplified version of the Five Elements Divine Prohibition from Di Shou Shan, which used elemental spiritual power to control the treasure. Or perhaps this was the secret manual of the Five Elements Crown itself.

Now, this manipulation tactic is clearly no longer effective.

The spirit of the Five Elements Crown is more like a chaotic consciousness that devours itself, sensitive and frenzied, with no rationality to speak of. Any attempt to control its power will be seen as an enemy and immediately retaliated against.

Qin Sang couldn't figure out how to operate it for a moment, so he could only follow the previous plan and take the treasure first, then slowly figure out a way.

Back then, the three enlightened beings, Huiguang, imprisoned the spirit of the instrument and took turns wielding it, which was the only way to withstand the invasion of demonic thoughts.

Qin Sang had no such worries. He carefully controlled his divine sense to enter the Five Elements Crown, letting the demonic thoughts wave after wave.

The madness in the obsession is terrifying, and ordinary people fear it like a tiger. He, however, willingly accepts it, showing no fear of the demonic thoughts assaulting his mind.

At first, the spirit seemed to sense something, with signs of restlessness.

Under the influence of the demonic thought, the fluctuation emanating from his wisp of divine consciousness gradually changed, becoming closer to the aura of the spirit.

The fluctuations of the spirit tool finally subsided, and its hostility towards Qin Sang's divine consciousness gradually diminished.

Taking this opportunity, Qin Sang dispersed that wisp of divine consciousness, silently enveloping the Five Elements Crown and forming a thin barrier.

This barrier can, to a certain extent, isolate the spirit's perception of the outside world and mislead its judgment.

The divine awareness barrier has formed.

Qin Sang clenched his fists, the Five Elements Crown trembling slightly, as if about to be pulled up. Suddenly, the well platform shook violently.

The tremor came suddenly. Qin Sang's expression changed slightly, and he immediately severed the power of absorption, frowning as he looked at the well platform.

The tremors of the platform nearly awakened the spirit within.

After gazing for a moment, Qin Sang reached out to the Five Elements Crown once more. His movements were much gentler this time, and the Five Elements Crown slowly rose, being grasped smoothly by him.

Having put the Five Elements Crown into the Qianjun Ring, Qin Sang took another look at the well platform. There was a strange power shrouding the Five Elements Crown within the well platform.

This is the translated content:

Back then, the well platform absorbed him here, it must have been because of this power. Fortunately, the power of the well platform is currently dormant, Qin Sang's actions did not cause a special reaction.

The situation was urgent, Qin Sang had no time to delve deeper. He took the Five Elements Crown and looked around, finding the deer antler that had fallen in a corner of the palace.

>

The antlers were divided into two parts, one black and one white, like pieces of black and white jade, emitting a crystal luster. They were the only relic left by Xiahou.

Qin Sang brought the antlers closer, seeing several cracks on the surface. The places where the cracks were had a dull sheen, likely damaged when the demonic pill exploded.

Holding a stag horn in his left hand, and with a flash of light in his right, a fox corpse and a snake corpse appeared in his grasp.

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

The serpent corpse looked the most complete, while the fox corpse bore shocking wounds and was almost dismembered.

Carrying the three demons' corpses, Qin Sang swept his divine sense outside the hall, his expression moved slightly. Then, a streak of blue light flew to Qin Sang.

>

It was precisely the azure jade orb that the Azure Fox Saint King had previously extracted, used in conjunction with his three Dharma Bodies to besiege Xia Hou.

"This is the spirit treasure you were talking about"

Qin Sang asked Mo Xingdao, who was beside her.

He felt the fluctuations of the Spirit Treasures from the azure jade bead. No wonder the Azure Fox Saint King was able to force out Xia Hou's innate divine ability, but he was also restrained by Xia Hou and couldn't recall it in time, giving him an opportunity.

Mo Xingdao nodded. “This orb may have had hidden injuries before, and the Holy One of Wisdom Light helped her refine it. That demon fox relied on this orb to protect itself many times, and in the end, it was almost shattered in half.”

Qin Sang turned the azure jade bead, and indeed found a faint white mark.

Having put away the azure jade bead and the emerald bird, Qin Sang pondered for a moment before concealing the phoenix wings as well. Without hesitation, she dashed out of the palace.

Two black dragons rallied and attacked.

Qin Sang's heavy punches smashed the way forward, unstoppable like a bamboo forest being swept by a flood.

The poison element was frantically being refined within his body, but Qin Sang knew he couldn't wait any longer. The more he hesitated, the easier it would be for the other party to see through his facade of strength.

Moreover, even if he wasn't a match for Hongyzi, just relying on his Lightning Escape technique, Hongyzi would find it very difficult to hold him back!

Above the mirror.

Although Hong Yuzi was trapped by the forbidden formation, there were no visible injuries on his body.

Looking down at the mirror surface, with a wave of my hand, I create streaks of yellow smoke. Some drift across the surface like a gentle breeze, while others ripple on the water.

>

After suffering a heavy loss, Hong Yizi was very cautious. The Nine還珠 remained suspended above her head, ready to be unleashed at any moment.

'Bang! Bang! Bang!'

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

The mirror surface rippled, as Hongyuzi tested its mysteries.

His eyes flashed, and with a clap of his hand, he struck the mirror surface with force. The waves rippled instantly, splitting open a narrow doorway.

Hong Yuzi gave a flick of his robe sleeve and strode in.

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he stepped into the mirror space, a powerful aura suddenly surged up from the depths of the mirrored realm and crashed down upon him.

That powerful aura even turned Hong Yuzi's complexion pale, but it wasn't from the two demons who had ambushed him before.

The other party was aggressive.

Hong Yuzi was startled and reacted instantly, immediately retreating.

Then, a deafening roar echoed, and a strange figure shot out from the mirror, appearing before his eyes.

Their eyes met.

Hong Yuzi looked at Qin Sang in astonishment, as if deep in thought about the origins of this monster.

Besides lacking phoenix wings, Qin Sang's appearance was identical to what Xia Hou had seen. It was an image even demon cultivators found strange.

Then, Hong Yu's pupils shrank, and his expression changed drastically. He saw the object in Qin Sang's hand.

This is a good example of how to use HTML tags in your text.

He had never seen a demon snake, but judging from the corpse's aura, it should have been a powerful warrior of the Demon Marquis level in life.

What shocked him even more was the fox corpse and deer antlers, emanating an aura that was unmistakably the two demons who had attacked him before.

The corpse of the fox was gruesome to behold.

Although Xiahou's body was never found, even his antlers were lost and had cracks, his fate was easy to imagine.

Three Great Demon Lords, could it be that they were all killed by this person

Looking at this person's aura, it is still overwhelmingly powerful, as if effortless!

Hong Yuzi gasped, unable to hide the shock in her heart. She subconsciously took several steps back, retreating to the edge of the mirror.

Qin Sang's eyes were emerald green, like a deep and ominous pool, with a menacing glint.

Under the effects of the inner lion's mark, his wounds had already healed. He stared straight at Hong Yuzi, breathing heavily as if hesitating, weighing something.

Hong Yuzi retreated all the way to the edge of the mirror, nine orbs flickering with brilliance, his face full of vigilance.

Finally, Qin Sang made a decision. He took a deep look at Hong Yizi and turned to fly towards one end of the mirror.

The mirror connected to another illusion. The illusion was filled with a thick, dark gray smoke, so dense that it blotted out the sun, like a wasteland of ash, forming a wall of gray.

Seeing Qin Sang about to enter the Grey Sand Domain, Hong Yuzi hesitated and opened his mouth, “This fellow Daoist…”

"Whoosh!"

Qin Sang stopped, and abruptly turned around.

Their eyes blazed with a fierce light, like two daggers piercing through.

Hong Yuzi couldn't help but be taken aback. With his intelligence, he wouldn't be intimidated by a mere gaze, but this person's war record was truly terrifying.

Even if this person used some external force to slay three monsters, it is still beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

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

While he hesitated, Qin Sang stared at Hong Yuzi and slowly retreated into the gray sand domain, his figure swallowed by the dust.

Hong Yuzi ultimately did not choose to stop it.

Cutting off Hongyu's perception, Qin Sang immediately turned around, summoning Fengyi. Lightning flashed, and he used all his power to activate the Thunder Escape, dashing away at full speed.

The mirrored space and the traps it held weren't far apart. Qin Sang didn't dare stop for a moment, weaving through illusions until he finally returned to the 'Cage Illusion'.

The Sky-Gazing Butterfly remained fixated on the rear, failing to detect its pursuer. It seemed that Hongyuzi had indeed been frightened off by his bluff.

>

Qin Sang let out a breath, immediately cross-legged in the center cage. The Inner Lion Seal was pushed to its limit, the Buddha's power was dissipating, and old injuries immediately worsened, a feeling of weakness spreading throughout his body.

His injuries were worse than before. Qin Sang waved his hand and took out several jade bottles, swallowing all kinds of healing pills regardless of their type, trying every means possible to heal his wounds.

This place is not a place to hide, nor a place to stay for long.

Having quickly suppressed his injuries and restored his true essence, Qin Sang stood up from the cage.

Before deciding to ambush Hong Yuzi, Qin Sang had made preparations for retreat and returned to Huatian along the predetermined route.

Even so, Qin Sang still acted with great caution, lest she bump into Hong Yuzi.

After a smooth journey, he safely returned to the flower field and opened his grand formation, finally feeling truly secure.

Back in the cave, Qin Sang sat on the cushion, reviewing the battle. His expression revealed exhaustion, not only from his serious injuries, but also from the immense mental strain.

He seldom took risks. This time, to slay three demons in a row was like dancing on the edge of a knife; every step had to be perfect.

Once a misstep occurs, though it may not lead to utter ruin, the Five Elements Mandate will inevitably begin to falter.

After sitting in quiet contemplation for a moment, Qin Sang wielded his sword to carve out a tranquil chamber beside him, and then summoned Mo Xindao.

>

Mo Xingdao saw the cave dwelling, not knowing where he was. He was puzzled.

Qin Sang said, "Friend Mo, this is a temporary place where I'm treating my injuries. Please rest here first. I also need to heal quickly."

Mo Xingdao hiding in the Lu talisman altar was a temporary measure. Qin Sang had sworn, he wouldn't control Mo Xingdao, and he would never break his word.

Qin Sang also considered that his talisman altar was special and related to the secrets of the Jade Buddha. He couldn't let Mo Xingdao stay in Huatian forever.

After his injuries healed, Mo Xingdao was sent out of the Netherworld. A place was chosen for him to settle down, and he was helped in recovering first. Afterward, they would consider exploring the altar further.

"Everything will follow your arrangements, Daoist friend."

Mo Xingdao transformed into a human form, bowed respectfully, and saw that Qin Sang's breath was fluctuating erratically. Knowing he was eager to heal his wounds, Mo Xingdao didn't speak much, walked into the quiet room, and immediately saw the stone door close shut, sealed by an array barrier outside.

Sitting cross-legged, Mo Xingdao's eyes were deep with thought as countless thoughts flooded his mind.

He reminisced about his childhood, recalling the scenes of his rise in the Northern Wasteland, both his failures and triumphs.

He was once surrounded and attacked, but he finally fought his way out of the encirclement, killing his way to become the number one wandering cultivator in Beihhuang.

Unless something unexpected happens, he should continue to travel for the rest of his life, or there's a slim chance he could become a god.

Since agreeing to go south with Su Zinan, his journey by boat was a stroke of fate, rewriting his destiny.

This is what you asked for:

Obtained yin-yang spirit crystals at the trade fair, snatched the Lingxi fruit from Emperor's Mountain, and was informed of a crisis by two Nascent Soul cultivators. Despite the danger, he bravely crossed the Heavenly Tribulation.

He never wanted to be controlled by others in his life, preferring to be a wandering hermit, yet he was powerless to resist fate.

He struggled desperately, but he still ended up here.

Mo Xindao thought of Qin Sang outside.

Even now, as he contemplates it, he is still incredibly shocked.

Back then, Qin Sang almost lost his life at the hands of the Qinghu Saint King. He narrowly escaped death and lived to tell the tale. Now, he can even slay three demons in a row.

A powerful demon from the late Nascent Soul stage died at the hands of Qin Sang!

When the Wu Xiang Immortal Sect was in turmoil, their powers were roughly equal. Upon meeting again in another world, there was an immense gulf between them, like heaven and earth apart.

Mo Xingdao looked at himself with pity, sighing softly. But then he lifted his spirits and quietly contemplated the nature of being a puppet.

The Xianxia world is infinitely mysterious, and anything is possible.

Before your time is up, never give up!

Inside the cave.

The two of them practiced in silence. The large formation within the flower field isolated them from the outside world, so no matter how much turmoil this battle caused outside, it wouldn't affect them here.

Three months later.

Qin Sang slowly woke up, exhaling a mouthful of foul air.

I looked inward, and due to the Inner Lion Mark, my injuries worsened, affecting my foundation. I've only recovered 60%, but my foundation is no longer hindered. My healing speed from now on will be very fast.

For so long, he had not taken a good look at the spoils of war.

He cast a glance at the quiet room, in his cave abode, nothing Mo Xingdao did escaped his notice.

For so long, Mo Xindao has also been motionless, not knowing what kind of magical arts he is practicing.

Taking back his gaze, Qin Sang opened the Qianjun戒, causing several items to float out.

The most striking things were the green jade beads and antlers.

Qin Sang took the green jade bead in his hand, probing it with his divine sense. After a moment, he revealed a look of regret.

The Lingbao Must use the Tongbao Jue to operate. This treasure does not contain the Tongbao Jue internally. Unless you find someone who is compatible with this treasure and trade, it will be useless to you.

With a sigh of regret, Qin Sang looked again at the deer antlers.

The antlers had been refined by Xiahou for many years. Although damaged, they were still a rare and precious treasure.

To prevent the enemy and Hong Yuzi from finding any clues, Lu Jiao had to hide his antlers. He should use them himself before anyone else could find them.

Qin Sang thought to himself, the return wind armor was destroyed, and he would have to reforge a new set of protective armor in the future.

But the antlers are sharp and formidable, most suitable for crafting weapons of killing. Perhaps they could be used to reforge gauntlets.

The corpses of foxes and snakes should also be disposed of in the same way.

Then came the storage artifacts of the snake demon and the Azure Fox Holy King.

The Qinghu Saint King's wealth was not as abundant as imagined. Qin Sang recalled what Mo Xindao had said before about his experiences in the Netherworld.

Within the Abyss of Devouring Souls, ferocious beasts were disturbed by the Heavenly Dao's magical sound. Their ferocity reached new heights, rampaging everywhere and posing a far greater threat than before. The Five Elements Robe alone was insufficient to protect against them.

Especially the final stage of ascension, fraught with peril. The Saint Huiguang and the Saint Qinghu both destroyed several treasured artifacts. If not for Mo Xindao sharing the burden of the spirit's pressure, his fate would have been more than just destroying his natal puppet.

Qin Sang selected usable spiritual materials from the relics of the two demons, which was also a considerable income.re, this time it was employing the same trick.This is what you asked for.
