Chapter 2035: The Sword Handle

by the wind and sand. Only when a dust storm came rolling in would it draw its awnings closed.A biting wind howled, and yellow sand swirled.In the hazy sand and dust, a figure could be seen walking s...In the void, there floated irregularly shaped stones of varying sizes, countless in number.

A boundless expanse of rocks stretched as far as the eye could see, likely covering tens of thousands of miles. According to Master Xin, this place held only stones, devoid of any mystical visions or fragments of the Lesser Thousand Worlds. It seemed as if an invisible force had gathered these stones together.

Though seemingly ordinary stones, they have withstood countless strikes from sinister winds and eerie lightning, surviving to this day.

However, there were too many things that defied logic inside the Fengju Yumen. Everyone had long since become accustomed to the unusual.

Entering the depths of the chaotic rocks, all you see are gray stones, an endless repetition of scenery, just like entering a giant maze.

'Snoring...'

A cold wind howled through the rocky chaos, incessant and chilling, though not as dangerous as an evil wind, it was still a considerable nuisance. Qin Sang and Xin Shao-zhu and the others weaved their way through the rocks, searching for a hidden secret realm in this place, the difficulty was self-evident.

Before searching for the hidden realm, Young Master Xin collected a lot of information about this place. A long time ago, people had already noticed this place, and it had been searched countless times. However, it was said that this place was very barren and lacked any treasures. Gradually, no one paid attention to it anymore.

Master Xin, following the instructions of his late family head, secretly investigated and found the hidden realm. However, in order to set a trap to eliminate Pei Guofeng and Zhong Liangsanren, he remained silent.

The sights on the stone surfaces are not all the same, but the texture is similar. They seem to come from the same place. Xin Shaozhu guessed that they might be formed after a whole giant rock was broken into pieces.

If that were true, how big would the original stone have been Along the way, there were countless stones taller than mountains.

After a winding path, the wind brought a moist breath, and a flat stone like land appeared ahead. A jade belt ran through the center of this land, marking the course of a great river.

The river surged, and both banks were desolate stone mountains.

A group of people traced the river upstream, and the hidden realm was at the source of the great river.

Young Master Xin led the way, and soon they arrived above a vast marsh.

This place is humid, with clouds and mist swirling everywhere. Even though there's not a hint of life, the Xin family cultivators remain dispersed and on guard.

"Elder Qin, the entrance to the secret realm is underwater."

Then, Young Master Xin pointed below his finger.

Qin Sang probed with his spiritual sense and discovered that the surrounding water was only a few dozen feet deep. The bottom was covered in sand and stones. Beneath them lay a narrow, long trench, with streams of water bubbling up from the ground. There were no unusual signs.

This is normal, if the entrance to the secret realm was so easy to find, it would have already been taken.

Only then did Xiaozhu, the young master of the Xin family, take out a piece of silk handkerchief from his sleeve. He gently tossed it into the water. The moment it touched the surface, the water began to boil, producing thick steam that quickly enveloped the surroundings in a white fog.

As it descends, the colors on the Jinpa gradually fade until they become transparent and completely merge with the water.

The next moment, a faint silver light flickered within the chasm.

Qin Sang's expression moved slightly, he looked around, they had been staying in place all along, the surrounding fog did not show any waves, but in Qin Sang's perception, some kind of unknown change was happening nearby.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Suddenly, a violent wind swept in, churning up white mist that swirled and twisted into indescribable shapes.

Others also noticed the abnormality and became secretly vigilant.

After a while, the gale did not abate but rather grew fiercer. The wind howled deafeningly, sharper than thunder, as if the earth were rending and heaven and earth were overturned.

Xin Shaozhu stood calmly beside Qin Sang, awaiting orders.

Qin Sang observed for a while, letting the members of the Xin family go first, then lightly stepped forward. Just one step, it was as if he had entered a new world. The wind became more violent, white mist shrouded the entire space, and the wind and smoke changed, like a dream, but unfortunately, the terrifying wind noise disturbed the dream.

A gust of wind brought a chaotic scent, causing the crowd to stir with unease.

"Is this it" Qin Sang asked.

Xin Shao master nodded slightly, staring intently, as if searching for something.

“It seems this secret realm is on the brink of collapse,” Qin Sang said.

This kind of fluctuation was familiar to them, they had just experienced it inside the tomb. This was a sign that the secret realm was heading towards destruction.

This place is worse than a tomb. Secret realms shouldn't be this unstable to begin with, they opened the realm and accelerated its collapse.

"Elder Qin, look," Young Master Xin pointed to the depths of the smoke and dust, where a slender white figure could be vaguely seen.

The white shadow, shaped like a cylinder, floated in the wind, rising and falling.

Qin Sang reached out and summoned the white shadow in front of him. It turned out to be a jade pillar nearly two zhang long, requiring three people to embrace. There were several cracks on the jade pillar, and it was not complete; one end had a distinct break.

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

The jade pillar is crystal clear, its interior like water, flowing.

Upon seeing the jade pillar, Xin Shaozu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The jade pillar must be used to support this secret realm. If the jade pillar is destroyed, the secret realm will lose its support. There must be more than one jade pillar here!"

Qin Sang pinched a seal and carefully sensed it, indeed discovering a special fluctuation, which was artificially refined.

This is a very special kind of refining technique. Qin Sang was intrigued, but based on just a broken jade pillar, he couldn't see the whole picture.

After a moment, Qin Sang gave the order, and everyone continued deeper into the smoke and dust. Soon they found another broken jade pillar, even more damaged than the last one.

Having been here for so long, there were no signs of danger. Qin Sang ordered, "You guys search separately and bring all the jade pillars here."

Then, he sat in meditation with one hand resting on a jade pillar, closing his eyes to sense. Xin Shaozhu stood respectfully by his side.

"Yes!"

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

The crowd obeyed and went their separate ways.

Then, people successively brought back fragments of jade pillars. Sadly, none of them were whole jade pillars.

At this moment, someone hurriedly reported: "Young Master! Elder Qin! There is a complete jade pillar ahead that cannot be moved!"

“Oh”

Qin Sang immediately got up and followed the man to the jade pillar.

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

Only to see the jade pillar standing in mid-air, with no sky above and no ground below, yet it was remarkably stable, like a divine needle, almost perfectly intact.

Qin Sang stepped forward and gently touched the jade pillar. His eyes flickered, and through this jade pillar and those fragments before, he was able to judge many things.

“The wind here seems to have become stronger…”

A person whispered, a worried expression on their face. This meant the secret realm was collapsing at an accelerated rate, leaving them with little time. They had to come up with a solution as quickly as possible.

Xin Shao was about to say something when suddenly a shout came from afar. A young man in gray robes flew over here in a hurry after discovering something.

“Young Master!”

"Lao Shisan, you've entered the Nascent Soul realm, how can you still be so impetuous What happened" Xin Shao zhu frowned slightly.

Facing reprimand from the young master, the gray-robed youth's face flushed. He glanced at Qin Sang and said, "Reporting to the young master, we found something unusual, but we are not sure. The Great Elder is guarding there and we dare not act rashly. I am ordered to invite the young master to go."

"Qin Elder, is there any possibility of repairing these jade pillars" Xin Shaozu replied with a faint hum, her expression serene as if she had known this all along. She showed no haste in moving and politely inquired to Qin Sang.

“It can be repaired, and it doesn't have to be a master craftsman. You ask the old man over here, it’s a bit of an exaggeration,” Qin Sang said.

"This is a serious matter, and this junior dares not be careless. Will restoring these jade pillars be able to stop the collapse of the secret realm" Xin Shao Zhu said with hope in his voice.

"Yes, but only temporarily. These jade pillars are obviously not complete. To completely stabilize the secret realm, new jade pillars need to be refined and added."

Qin Sang pondered for a moment and said, "The spiritual materials needed to refine the Jade Pillar, you probably can't gather them now, right"

Xin Shaozu sighed: "Opening the secret realm, we will know its full picture. Although I have made all sorts of preparations before, I can't be thorough in everything. I wonder if Senior has time to wait for us to go out and gather the spiritual materials..."

Qin Sang waved his hand, interrupting Xin Shaozhu, "As I said, as long as you understand the method, refining jade pillars is not difficult. Repairing and erecting these jade pillars will definitely be able to support the secret realm for a while. The old man has comprehended the complete refining method and will pass it on to you. After going out, please have others refine it."

Qin Sang hadn't agreed to rely on Xin Shaozu, letting the Xin family depend on him.

Even if he agreed, it would still be the Xin family doing things for him, not the other way around, with him personally handling everything.

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

Xin Shaozhu replied with a sound of "The junior will obey!"

Qin Sang didn't rush to start the furnace and refine the artifacts. He was also curious about the treasures in the secret realm, so he ordered the gray-robed youth to lead the way.

Not long after, they arrived at their destination. The elder who was guarding the place immediately came forward to greet them, his tone filled with joy as if he had discovered a precious treasure.

"Young master, there's a high chance of finding the celestial frost silver here!"

Ahead, the fog was still thick, but there was a ball of silvery white mist, unlike anything else. The silver mist did not disperse, and from within came the sound of 'whooshing', like a spring.

Qin Sang's eyes gleamed with curiosity as he examined the silver mist. It was something he had never seen before, and he hadn't even heard the name "Tian Shuang Fu Yin".

Tianshuang Fu Yin, it sounds like some kind of spiritual material, but there is no record in the classics of the Wuxing Alliance.

“Old Thirteenth,” Young Master Xin called the young man in grey robes forward and whispered a few instructions.

The young man in gray robes muttered words under his breath, striking a hand seal. A shimmer of light and shadow rippled across his body. Then, he took a step to the left, leaving behind an illusory afterimage shaped like a gray wolf.

>

The gray wolf twisted its neck and suddenly leaped into the silver mist, raising its head and letting out a silent howl. In an instant, a layer of silver mist clung to its body.

Then, silver mist continuously seeped into the grey wolf's body, quickly being absorbed by most of it. Revealing its inner workings, there was actually a pool of liquid mercury.

When the gray wolf emerged again, transformed into a silver wolf, it was invigorated, its body solid and its aura powerful. A metamorphosis of some kind had taken place.

Seeing this situation, the Xin family was overjoyed.

"Sure enough, it's the Frostmoon Silver!"

Xin Shaozu also showed a pleased expression, noticing Qin Sang's gaze, and quickly explained.

"Reporting to Elder Qin, the Tianshuang Silver is not a spiritual silver born from heaven and earth, but rather refined by humans.

Our Xin family's shadow-shifting technique, combined with some special treasures, can transform us again, greatly increasing our power. But only a few things like the Tian霜符 silver meet the requirements.

This is a sample text. It should be translated and placed in between the html tags.

“Among them, the Skyfrost Charm Silver is the most suitable. The method of refining it has long been lost. My father, by a stroke of luck, found that there might be Skyfrost Charm Silver here, and it can regenerate continuously...”

The constantly flowing Tianfrost Talisman silver is indeed a treasure trove for the Xin family, no matter what, they must protect this place.

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

It turns out it's a man-made product, no wonder I've never heard of it before.

Qin Sang carefully grasped a drop of Heavenfrost talisman silver, sensing it delicately. He couldn't help but whisper in admiration, "Remarkable."

For now, Qin Sang couldn't think of any use for the Tianxiang Fuyin. As a blacksmith, he took a box of Tianxiang Fuyin to study later. The Xin family didn't dare to complain.

The most important thing in this entire secret realm is this pool of celestial frost talisman silver.

Next, Qin Sang found a place and began to repair the jade pillar.

Lord Xin summoned the Xin family cultivators to queue up and refine the Heavenly Frost Talisman Silver, enhancing their divine power. These individuals were the elite and core members of the Xin family. After this journey, the overall strength of the Xin family would undoubtedly leap to a new level. If one excludes the cultivators at the Refining Void stage, they might even surpass the strength during the previous patriarch's lifetime.

When the first jade pillar was forged and erected, the trend of the secret realm collapsing was indeed alleviated.

Just as Qin Sang and the Xin family were acting together, four streaks of light were dashing through Fengju Yumen, searching for something.

The people in the light were dressed as Buddhist disciples, including one monk and three nuns.

The monk had nine ascetic scars on his head, wore a golden silk kasaya robe, held a string of prayer beads in his hand, and was surrounded by golden escaping light, as if enveloped by Buddha's light. He was a highly accomplished monk who had attained enlightenment.

Three nuns were all dressed in sea green robes, with shaved heads and monk's caps. One of the elderly nuns was still silently reciting scriptures during her flight, judging by her breath, her cultivation and that of a monk were equal.

Two other nuns followed the old nun, one a young woman whose simple robes could not hide her natural beauty. Though she had entered the Buddhist order, the blue strands of hair showing at the edge of her monk's hat indicated that she had not been fully ordained.

Soon, they arrived at a piece of Jian Ge debris, the very fragment of Ziwei Palace where Tian Shan was located.

Seeing the almost completely destroyed Tianshan Mountains, the young nun suddenly showed a panicked expression, her figure flashing quickly, landing in front of the mountain.

The crumbling ruins before me speak volumes of the horrors that once transpired here.

If there had been anyone in the mountains at that time, they too would have been reduced to ashes along with Mount Tian Shan, unlikely to have survived.

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

At this moment, all hopes turn into bubbles of a dream.

The young nun trembled, her eyes squeezed shut in pain.

This is a simple example.

She had searched for a thousand years, but was met with such a cruel outcome.

Three people exchanged a look and slowly followed up.

Seeing the young nun's expression, they knew without asking that this was the place they were looking for. They studied Mount Tian Shan, trying to find favorable signs. Finally, the monk and the old nun looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

The monk shouted Buddha's name.

Old Nie sighed, a look of pity in his eyes, "Junior sister, please be strong."

'Splash!'

A single tear wetted the ground.

Old Ni opened his mouth, wanting to continue comforting, when a violent tremor suddenly shook the air.

The change was too sudden. Besides the young nun who was immersed in grief and unable to extricate herself, the other three were also taken aback.

>

“Is a tempest of evil winds and ominous thunder about to break” another nun said.

"Something's wrong!"

The monk's expression was grave, his gaze fixed on the depths of Feng Juyu's gate.

The next moment, a bolt of lightning flashed, seeming to cross millions of miles, tearing the Fengju Yumen apart. A deep breath followed, permeating the entire ancient battlefield!
