Chapter 1468: Journey to the Demon Realm

corpse, so he set up the Huangsha Banner as a cover, hoping to find an opportunity to do it secretly.Unfortunately, the group of tiger-wing vultures had overly sensitive senses. Plus, Kong Xin didn't...An avatar stood before Qin Sang.

Qin Sang did not deliberately change its appearance, it was simply a magnified version of the Dao tree. Its features were handsome and there was no resemblance between its form and that of its true body.

Before, because Yuan Ying Fu Kui's body had a soul imprint, Qin Sang felt a sense of blood connection to it. Now it is even closer, like an extension of Qin Sang's own body, inseparable.

>

He closed his eyes and contemplated for a moment.

Qin Sang opened his eyes and looked up and down at the external avatar.

The avatar is just formed and cannot be used against enemies. It needs to continue refining, waiting for the ice-soul divine energy to be fully refined within the avatar, and its foundation to be complete before it can be perfected.

The period may take years, even decades. The length of time depends on the origins and strengths of the physical and astral bodies involved. The Dao Tree is not comparable to ordinary spirits, perhaps it won't take too long.

However, due to the presence of Hun Ying, Qin Sang still needs to help the second Yuan Shen absorb Hun Ying. Before it is completed, it cannot be relied upon.

This content is already in English. Is there anything else I can help you with

Qin Sang waited patiently for a month, but there was no obvious progress.

That day, Qin Sang retracted his avatar from the Corpse Puppet Bag and decided to leave. He calculated with his fingers and realized that he had been in the underground yin vein for almost a year without realizing it.

During this period, he had not returned to Tingxue Building once.

Shi Xue didn't send any more messages.

>

I wonder what happened to them after the glass shattering failed.

Looking around, Qin Sang carefully wiped away the traces of refining his outer avatar. His figure flashed and flew out of the cave, seeing the long-awaited sunlight.

It is midday now, with clear skies.

The sunlight shines, bringing a touch of warmth.

Qin Sang rode the escape light, slowly moving forward, and returned to Ting Xue Lou's cave dwelling.

Only Shixue and Liuli knew of his existence in Tingxue Lou, and he was generally undisturbed.

Qin Sang spent some time meditating in his cave abode. The fatigue and injuries from refining his outer avatar had completely vanished.

He woke from his meditation, a thoughtful expression on his face.

This time, the purpose of coming to Xue Lou has basically been accomplished. I obtained the status of a guest elder and refined my external avatar. There are still nine years before the holy land opens.

By then, he will definitely return early to cooperate with Tong Lingyu and Tingxue Lou, and get the opportunity to attend the holy land's ceremony.

Over these past few years, there's no need to stay at Tingxue Tower all the time.

He had just broken through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul and eagerly crossed the Storm Belt to travel to the North Sea. His true purpose was to find the fragments of the Killing Sword and the subsequent techniques.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving in Behai, he was pursued by the Demon King. Afterward, a series of unexpected events led him from Xuanyue Realm to Yinshi Realm, becoming a guest scholar at Tingxue Building.

It seemed to span the entire North Sea, but the trip was rushed and there was no time for a thorough search.

Now that all the trivial matters have been settled, I can focus on traveling.

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

Qin Sang's preliminary plan was to set off from Tingxue Lou, head north into the demon realm, pass through the demon realm and Xing Sha Islands, take a big detour back to Xianyue Realm, and visit Master Mu of Baihua Valley along the way.

Then, traversing the String Moon Realm, entering from its southern end into the Endless Sea, and circling back to the Hidden Sun Realm, we would roughly cover all areas of the North Sea.

During this time, the focus was on finding fragments of the Killing Sword, and we tried our best to avoid getting involved in other disturbances. We had plenty of time.

>

Thinking of this, Qin Sang rested for a moment, touched the seal on the Elder's order, and contacted Shi Xue, deciding to bid farewell to her.

Not long.

A ray of frost light landed in front of the cave. Shi Xuejian's grand formation had already been closed, so she stepped inside.

Upon seeing Qin Sang again, she had a strange look in her eyes. She didn't know how to evaluate her junior sister and this man.

>

That day after the incident, my junior sister stayed in Piaoxue Lou to retreat and has not emerged yet. This person has also been nowhere to be found. He hasn't shown his face for such a long time.

Both of them acted as if nothing had happened, their composure admirable. It seemed like only she was worried.

Is the Glass Fairy still in seclusion

Qin Sang paid his respects and opened the conversation.

Shi Xue nodded, "I wouldn't dare to disturb her without my junior sister's permission."

Qin Sang knew that Liuli was probably resisting the evil mark, but she didn't know what method she was using and how effective it was.

After a moment's hesitation, he said: "Please ask Fairy Liuli to know that if she needs any help, I will do my best to offer whatever little assistance I can."

He sold himself to lay the foundation, but that didn't prevent him from admiring those who had their own convictions.

This road will certainly be more difficult, full of thorns.

But Liuli remained resolute.

Moreover, he wanted to use the identity of a guest scholar from Tingxue Building to obtain the qualifications to observe the ceremony at the Holy Land, help Liuli, strengthen the power of Tingxue Building, and elevate its status in Xuantian Palace. This would also be considered helping himself.

The mark of jade glass was related to him, but Qin Sang had no clue about it. He thought that there were countless magical techniques in the immortal world, and there was no need to use dual cultivation to solve the hidden dangers.

Well, you have a bit of conscience!

Shi Xue glanced at Qin Sang, her eyes softened slightly, and she said thank you.

Next, Qin Sang's tone changed as he inquired about the friction between Xuan Tian Gong and the demon clan.

According to Xue's account, Qin Sang learned the details. The battlefield between the two clans was located in the sea area between the Demon Realm and the Hidden Sun Realm. It hadn't yet spread to the homeland of either realm.

However, the war grew increasingly intense. Tianpeng Great Saint was ambitious and seemed to have sensed the abnormality of the Heavenly Palace Master, relentlessly pressing forward.

Another Great Saint, Nine-Headed Great Saint of the demon clan, did not appear, but it was certain that he was supporting from behind the scenes.

Elder Tong Lingyu was restrained by the Heavenly Peng Great Saint, and cultivators of various lineages from Xuan Tian Palace entered the battlefield.

The four lineages of Xuan Tian Palace, the palace master comes from Xuan Tian, and the grand elder comes from Zi Xia Xuan. However, the most powerful overall is the Tian Shan lineage. Tian Shan cultivators have a strong fighting spirit and constantly clamor for a decisive battle with the demon clan, fighting to the death.

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

But this is what Tingxuelou doesn't want to see.

Once war reaches the homeland of the Hidden Mist Village, Tsuchizuki Manor in the northern region will be the first to bear the brunt.

>

Ting Xue Lou's strength ranked last among the Four Palaces, with the weakest voice. Its disciples were ostracized by Tian Shan Yi, repeatedly sent on the most dangerous missions. Shi Xue was distraught and planned to go to the battlefield personally to stabilize the situation.

Qin Sang pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there an undercover agent from the Xuantian Palace among the demons"

Shi Xue gave him a wary glance, feeling that Qin Sang couldn't possibly collude with the demon clan. "Yes, but not many. They don't have access to important secrets because this is a conflict between the two races. It's difficult to bribe a demon king who has transformed into human form, so they can only send some spirit beasts raised from childhood in Xuan Tian Palace into the demon realm."

And Qin Sang's guess was about the same.

He immediately said, “I’m preparing to journey into the Demon Realm. If you find any information, please send it back through your spies. I hope to earn some military merit.”

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

Shi Xue understood Qin Sang's thoughts. "If you are willing to join the battlefield and help Xuan Tian Gong repel the demon clan, perhaps you can enter the Holy Land directly."

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

“From the tone of the Grand Elder, the stronger I appear, the more wary the Xuan Tian Palace becomes of me. There is also a Great Saint observing from the demon clan. My actions would only fan the flames of their ferocity and change nothing. The conflict between the two races will be hard to resolve for years to come. By the time the demon clan retreats, the Holy Land would have long been closed.”

Qin Sang saw the situation clearly and didn't want to rashly get involved in the fighting of other domains.

He planned to suppress his cultivation to the early stages. This way, when he encountered other Demon Kings, it would be easy to explain his origins by claiming that he had not yet awakened his intelligence and had been living a clueless life before, only transforming recently.

The shape-shifting mid-stage demon king was too conspicuous, it couldn't have appeared out of thin air, and it would be difficult to fabricate a reasonable excuse.

Qin Sang's divine consciousness had already reached the level of transformation, far surpassing his state when he first arrived in the North Sea. As long as he didn't face the two demon saints directly, or possess a very special innate supernatural power, even a mid-stage transformed demon king wouldn't be able to see through his true cultivation level.

“The demon clan is now on high alert, seeing any human they will inevitably attack. How can you move about in the demon realm” Shi Xue became even more curious about Qin Sang.

Qin Sang smiled without saying a word, then suddenly remembered something. "How much do you know about the Demon Realm Has the demon clan already mastered the legendary route to the Beichen Realm"

Shi Xue obviously knew about the existence of Beichen Realm, "Are you worried they will bring help from Beichen Realm Even if the demon clan doesn't know the route, the two demon saints definitely have the ability to pass through the storm belt."

Unbeknownst to him, Qin Sang's worry wasn't about Xuan Tian Gong, but about Bei Chen Jing.

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

Before this, he hadn't expected the strength of the demon realm to be so powerful, with two great saints.

Qin Sang suspected that the feathered king of Tian Yao Qiu and the two great saints had been in contact long ago. Perhaps during one of his entries into Ziwei Palace, a great saint disguised himself and followed. Otherwise, when Beichen Jing established the Beichen Alliance and the human race put aside their differences to form an alliance, Tian Yao Qiu would have already been terrified by the imminent threat.

Fortunately, the Demonic Realm was restrained by major forces like the Xuan Tian Palace, and the human race in the Beichen Realm held an absolute advantage. The Feather King might also be wary of the two Great Sages, otherwise, the Northern Border would already belong to the demon race.

Ten days later.

Qin Sang left Tingxue Building and traveled north alone.

Shortly after leaving the Yinri Realm, Qin Sang urged his Tian Yao to transform, revealing phoenix wings.

The Kirin and the Human-Demon races were now facing each other on the sea. The Heavenly Peng Saint personally commanded, leading to Qin Sang deciding to head east to avoid him. He planned to bypass this area entirely.

He bypassed the battlefield and continued to race north.

>Flying several hundred miles, one could hardly see any human cultivators anymore. The further north you go, the more it becomes the territory of demons.

Many islands clearly bear the marks of human habitation, some with remnants of mortal cities, others with hermitages built by cultivators. But now they have all become havens for demon beasts.

These traces are not long ago.

Before the emergence of the two Great Saints in the demon clan, their situation was precarious. They were forced to retreat into the Demon Realm or hide deep in the sea, rarely daring to roam the waters outside the Demon Realm. Even within the Demon Realm, they had to be wary of human cultivators sneaking in to hunt them.

The deep-seated blood feud between the humans and the yokai of Behai accumulated over time.

At that time, besides the demon realm, there were traces of humans everywhere.

Not until the two Great Sages became pillars, and the demon clan united as one, did the situation reverse. The Nine-Headed Great Sage was indifferent in nature and rarely appeared. The demon clan, who had long been holding their breath, gathered under the command of the Tianpeng Great Sage and launched their first attack on the Star Sand Islands.

Now, the human race in the Star Sand Islands is nearly beaten to a pulp. Heaven-Soaring Great Saint has turned his attention to the Hidden Sun Realm.

Fortunately, Xuan Tian Gong had anticipated Tian Peng Da Sheng's ambitions and had preemptively withdrawn the humans from overseas to the mainland. While losses were not severe, there were still inevitable oversights, and tragedies occurred.

Qin Sang traveled past numerous islands. In the dilapidated city ruins, human skeletons were common, but there were few survivors. Those who failed to evacuate in time had been devoured by demonic beasts.

The scene here is different from the demon sea.

Those who enter the Demon Sea are either cultivators or descendants of cultivators. They have the ability to escape the beast tide, while those who die here are mostly ordinary people.

Qin Sang's speed was increasing, and the traces left by humans were becoming rarer and rarer. This slightly eased his long-suppressed mood.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else! I'm ready for your next request.

Not until he reached the northeast corner of the Demon Realm did Qin Sang change direction, turning westward and approaching the Demon Realm. He traveled discreetly, taking a roundabout route north of the Demon Realm.

>

This area of sea is vast and sparsely dotted with islands, each covered in lush forests teeming with life.

In the past, demon beasts were often seen in the vicinity, fighting each other. Blood and demonic energy surged into the sky, but things have been much quieter recently.

At this time, a black shark broke the waves, emanating a strong demonic aura. The little demons along the way were all terrified and scurried for cover.

A person was actually sitting on the back of the black shark.

This man had a big face, wide mouth, and an ugly appearance. He was nine feet tall and extremely strong, with two antlers on his head that were even bigger than his head, making him look top-heavy.

This person is clearly a deer demon in its transformation stage.

Even the black shark beneath him, a demon of the Yao Dan stage, was extremely docile in front of the Deer Demon King.

The Deer Demon King's eyes were tightly shut, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

At that moment, the Deer Demon King suddenly woke up. His eyes flashed brightly, and he pressed his hand against Black Shark's head, glaring at the distant sea surface. "Who is there! Come out!"

The Black Shark was forcibly pinned down, whimpering in his mouth, his eyes bloodshot, too afraid to speak out against it.

Under the gaze of the Deer Demon King, a wisp of steam rose from the sea, revealing a hazy figure. This person had phoenix wings on their back and pure demonic energy, also a demon king.

The Deer King's expression softened slightly, then he frowned again, "I wonder which fellow Taoist is present Hiding in the dark, sneaking around, what intentions do you have!"

"My name is Yuánzhú. I was passing through this area and didn't expect to be discovered by you."

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

The figure in the mist stood far away, motionless. It seemed to be extremely wary of the King of Deer Demons, ready to fly away at any moment.

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

“Yuán Zhú”

The Deer King recalled carefully, "I don't remember having a demon king under Heavenly Peng Saint. I've never heard of you. Which clan are you from Are you a descendant of the Nine-Headed Saint"

The other party hesitated for a long time before saying, “I won’t join anyone. I’ll always cultivate on my own. Who are you”

This demon is none other than Qin Sang in disguise.

The human race is unfamiliar with the Demonic Realm, and even Xuan Tian Palace cannot provide Qin Sang with accurate information.

Qin Sang was searching for the fragments of the slaying sword. He couldn't miss the demon clan secret realm, and the lairs of the demon kings, including two great saints. Fortunately, the sword spirit's sensing range was very large, so he didn't have to risk infiltrating them.

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

In addition, Qin Sang was preparing to visit some "old friends" on his way out of the demon realm.

Tong Lingyu, guided by the rumors spread by Feng Shangshi, found Bi Fang's cave dwelling.

To everyone's surprise, Bi Fang was unusually alert and his strength had recovered to seven or eight out of ten. Seeing the situation was unfavorable, he escaped through a secret passage. Although Tong Lingyu realized it in time, Bi Fang still managed to slip away, leaving only the cunning fox behind. She interrogated the fox and confirmed that the sacred artifact was not in their possession.

As for the frog demon, its lair was extremely hidden. Even Tong Lingyu had never seen a shadow of this creature.

To do these things, Qin Sang would need a detailed topographic map of the demon realm.

Getting it directly from the Demon King is the fastest way.

Most of the demon clan's forces have already been subdued by Heaven-Soaring Great Saint. He is uncertain whether the deer demon is a subordinate of Heaven-Soaring Great Saint. A demon king under his command has mysteriously disappeared, which will definitely alert Heaven-Soaring Great Saint.

Not doing anything and directly killing a demon king would easily cause trouble, so Qin Sang chose to appear and stall for time with the Deer Demon King.still raging. Qin Sang couldn't see the figures of the Wujimen Master and the Swallowing Thunder Hawk. He could only see streaks of sword light like dragons colliding with thunderbolts.The man in blac...
