In the terrified eyes of countless cultivators.

The lava erupted, shooting straight into the sky.

Some fleeing cultivators who were unable to escape in time were instantly swallowed by the flames.

The Jinghai Sect was directly overturned by the flames, and the remaining land fragments were lifted to the sea surface. Some fragments still had pavilions, eaves, and Buddhist scriptures shining brightly, but they were all being swallowed by the flames at an astonishing speed.

The cultivators around saw that there were still some figures rushing out from there.

Those Nascent Souls not only did they not perish, each displayed their divine powers. Before evacuating, they even remembered to grab the treasures swept out by the flames. In such an emergency, regardless of rank, they grabbed whatever they could and retreated.

Before the fiery breath fully erupted, flee at high speed.

The flaming torrent brought a blazing tempest, spreading with astonishing speed. Before the terrified gazes of the lower-ranked cultivators, it descended upon them.

Seawater evaporates.

Giant waves surged.

The large ships couldn't evacuate in time, some were overturned and others shattered instantly, consumed by flames.

Inferior cultivators with insufficient cultivation were directly blown to pieces by the scorching windstorm, dying in terror. Before their deaths, they remembered an ancient admonition passed down through generations in the Xianxia world: Avoid approaching battlefields between high-level cultivators, especially those of the Nascent Soul stage.

For a time, the dreadful scenes kept appearing.

Mid-air.

The demonic old man did not, like others, scramble to snatch the treasures of the Jinghai Sect. His pupils were black as night, surveying his surroundings like a hawk, but in the end, he could not find that suspicious figure.

The East Sea is empty and spiritual.

This place is already in the ethereal overseas, occasionally you can see islands occupied by people. Many cultivators are active here.

Two figures moved low and quickly across the sea surface, as if guarding against something.

Flew for a while.

The surrounding sea stretched endlessly, with not even a single deserted island in sight nearby.

The elder's water conservancy office is right here.

Among them, a man of imposing stature and rugged features gazed for a moment, then raised his finger toward the front, before leaping forward into the sea.

The man behind him followed closely.

These two were Qin Sang and Tan Hao.

It's already the fourth day after the great war of the Jinghai Sect.

That day, leaving the Jinghai Sect, Qin Sang suppressed the injuries on his body and fled with Tan Hao without looking back. He didn't stop for a moment in between, nor did he go to find Mu Guzhu, nor did he know how the matter of the Jinghai Sect ended.

They are now looking for the former lair of the Ghost Mother.

>

Before, Tan Hao had lived in Behai for a while when he followed Gui Mu.

This cave dwelling had remained undiscovered for so long, a testament to its secrecy. Qin Sang could heal his wounds here, sort through his spoils, and plan his next moves.

"Wow!"

The two of them dove down not far when they saw an island submerged beneath the waves.

Tan Hao tried chanting a spell. In the center of the Dark Island, a faint glow flickered, and then a door materialized.

Qin Sang followed Tan Hao and flashed in, finding that there were only a few stone rooms here. The spiritual energy was very strong, but the furnishings inside were extremely simple, and several rooms were even empty.

"Senior Ghost Mother has never returned."

>

Tan Hao pushed open several doors and, after checking them, replied.

"It seems she has indeed left Beihai."

Qin Sang didn't hold out hope and nodded casually, choosing a room at random. Just as she was about to go in, her steps faltered, "Tan brother, how is your injury"

“After taking the elixir, I’m fine now. Thanks to Brother Qin for blocking the flames,” Tan Hao recalled that day’s final encounter, feeling both lingering fear and excitement.

>

Because he cooperated with Qin Sang to successfully steal food from the mouth of a great cultivator!

Qin Sang hummed in response, "I remember you said that you'd been active around here before and had some connections. You shouldn't be suspicious. Once the winds die down, you go out to gather intel. For now, I can't show my face. Hmm, see what's going on with the descendants of Qi Wang and Er Ren. They might get targeted by that old demon. Be extremely careful and don't make direct contact."

Qin Sang was still concerned about the Spirit Ascending Festival, but she wasn't prepared to visit Hundred Flowers Valley just yet.

Through the movements of Qi Wang and his two descendants, we can glean the outcome of that battle, whether anyone survived.

Three to two.

In the final moments, I seized the opportunity to guide the power of the Thousand Buddha Wall, thwarting the demonic old man and buying them time. At least one of them could escape.

Qin Sang thought secretly.

Tan Hao nodded, "I'll go out in a few days."

"Could you also help me find out about people or forces who are skilled at alchemy in the boundless sea..."

Qin Sang considered the matter at hand and finally said, "Your Demon-Subduing Staff is a Buddhist treasure, but luckily it can be used by cultivators outside the Buddhist sect. Although it specializes in killing, its power is single-minded, but its might is enhanced. Though it's a high-grade magic weapon, once you thoroughly refine it, it should be able to exert the power comparable to a top-grade magic weapon..."

The magic staff he snatched from the Buddha hall was called the "降魔杵".

Tan Hao's face was filled with surprise upon hearing this. With this magic treasure, after his breakthrough, he would no longer fear those veteran Yuan Ying cultivators.

At that moment, Qin Sang's tone changed as he smiled and said, "Stay here with me for now and try to see if you can change the shape of the Demon Subduing Staff. Otherwise, even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't dare use it in public. Unless you're not afraid of being found by the minions of the Demonic Old Man."

Tan Hao shivered involuntarily, thinking of the fate that awaited him if he were to be targeted by the demonic old man.

>

‘Bang!’

Qin Sang closed the door and set up a restriction.

He summoned his Yuanying talisman puppet. The puppet was charred black, with no visible external wounds, but the puppet seal had collapsed in a large area again.

After taking a look, Qin Sang was astonished and said, "The puppet's injuries are comparable to when it just came out of the storm. Alas, following me, you've suffered."

Touching it gently, Qin Sang first placed the Yuanying talisman puppet aside.

The

Thousand Jin weight guard flashed.

Flecks of light fell to the ground like flowing water.

"This time, it's truly an unprecedented bumper harvest…"

Qin Sang rubbed his hands excitedly and eagerly looked at it.

First, there are nine Wanling fruits, placed separately.

The spirit fruit's luster is dull, but it does not affect its effects.

“There are still a lot of riches, but unfortunately, the method for refining Zhen Ling Xiang has not been found...”

Qin Sang suspected that he might be taken away by the Ghost Mother. A flash of this thought crossed his mind, and he opened his spirit beast bag to summon the Fire Jade Centipede.

The fire agate centipede curled up into a ball, its red glow blinking on and off.

The injuries inflicted by the Three Spirits Panwang Array take a long time to recover from. These days, the Fire Jade Centipede has been listless and weak.

Qin Sang opened a jade box, took out the Wanling Fruit, recalled what Mu Guzhu had said about feeding it, gently activated his true essence, and broke open the surface of the Wanling Fruit.

Juices brimming with life flowed out, fragrant and sweet.

The fire jade centipede ‘bam’, its body taut and sprung, stood upright like a stick.

Qin Sang silently let out a sigh, then cast a few seals. After refining them, he extracted a drop of liquid and fed it to the Fire Jade Centipede. He then stored the rest in a jade bottle.

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

The effect is immediate.

The fire-jade centipede's aura immediately stabilized a few points, then assumed a lazy appearance, shrinking back into Qin Sang's palm, drowsy and beginning to digest the spiritual medicine.

Qin Sang followed suit and refined two more Wan Lingguo, feeding one each to the Tianmu Butterfly and the fat silkworm.their palms, and the formation gradually disappeared.>The man in black looked around, feeling pleased with himself. "With this formation, it should be easy to capture Elder Yin. Unfortunately, it can...
