Chapter 1706: Hunting the Criminal
ly erupted in delight.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!The Snake Woman was somewhat surprised, but she didn't ask any further questions and handed the Rejuvenation Pil...A boat travels through the Western Desert.
Deliver to the North Sea.
Enter the storm zone.
The hurricane howled, and figures dashed through the storm.
Not long after, a golden light flew from the front, revealing a monk with a noble and majestic appearance. He saluted Chong Hui Guang Sheng and the others with clasped hands.
“Can the path be straight, and can one lure ferocious beasts back with it smoothly” The Sage of Enlightenment asked.
"Master, good news from the front! The bait set up by fellow cultivators of all sects has worked perfectly so far. There have been no casualties, but no one dares to approach the beast. We still don't know its strength..."
The official honestly laid out the facts one by one.
The Sage of Huiguang nodded and glanced at the Fox King.
“Master Abbot, you have set up the formation here. Make sure there are no loopholes. This battle must be won, there is no room for defeat!” The Azure Fox Saint King pushed through the crowd and disappeared into the storm.
Others followed the wise one named Huiguang forward, flying for a while until they saw five heavenly pillars standing upright on the sea.

Below the pillars of heaven, there are no islands. It is unknown what they rely on for support. On top of each pillar, a cultivator sits cross-legged.
The material of the Heavenly Pillars is extraordinary, forged by both humans and demons. There are five identical Heavenly Pillars in the south, along with a group of defenders, but they are not needed for the time being.
Before getting close, the transformed form revealed some clues. "The Golden Rainbow Formation, the Breath of Earth Elementary Formation... they are all common Five Elements formations in the cultivation world."
The transformation couldn't help but remind him of the Five Element Divine Restrictions on Emperor's Mountain. While these formations weren't as mysterious as the Five Element Divine Restrictions, they were more flexible because they could be controlled by someone. Besides, those who set up the formations were all masters.
The Wise Light Saint made the arrangements, and the main array masters of the Five Elements Array were all high monks from the Buddhist sect.
In addition, an array of spirit formations with diverse functions was arranged outside. They formed a vast web, encompassing heaven and earth.
The formation was quickly set up.
More masters from various factions arrived one after another, following the Buddhist temple's arrangements. Some stayed at the outer perimeter to lessen the pressure. However, some wished to experience the ferocious beast's power up close and see their own reflections, so they entered the Five Elements Formation.
Huasheng chose to remain outside, yet saw Mo Xindao being summoned by the Holy One of Wisdom into the Five Elements Formation.

"This poor monk and the Holy King must control the Five Elements to ward off the Five Element Crown. It is difficult to be distracted. When the ferocious beast appears, we will need fellow cultivators to help, using puppets to lure the beast into the trap," Hui Guang Saint instructed Mo Xing Dao.
Here, with many cultivators as support, several high-ranking Buddhist monks of the main force can share the pressure. With two Nascent Soul cultivators able to manipulate the Five Elements Crown, Mo Xingdao can then free his hands.
Unlike the previous manhunt at Baguanguan, this time the bait had to constantly entangle and adjust with the beast, while others had to wait for it to be lured to a node where the qi of the formation converged before making their move. There was no room for error, only then could they achieve complete success. Aside from the two cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, only puppets proficient in Yin-Yang escape techniques could accomplish this.
The trap was set, and everyone waited with bated breath for the beast to appear.
Nobody noticed that someone had quietly come near.
Qin Sang was light as a swallow, drifting on the water's surface, maintaining a safe distance, gazing into the distance.

After a moment's thought, Qin Sang gently closed his eyes and remained still.
As time passed day by day, it had been a month already but the beast was nowhere to be seen.

Just when everyone was speculating and worried that something might have happened, the Azure Fox Saint King finally returned.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of green surged through the waves, charging into the formation.
The Azure Fox Holy King's voice was grave: "Be careful, the fiend beast's cultivation might be more than just the initial stage of Transformation God!"
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The Holy Light and Mo Xindao both heard this, their expressions solemn, but they showed no sign of retreating.
No matter how powerful this beast is, they must face it head-on. No one knows when the next beast will arrive, and they can't afford to wait any longer.
"Mo dao you..."
The Holy Light gazed over, Mo Xingdao nodded, listening to the Azure Fox Saint King describe the formidable powers of the ferocious beast. Then, alone, he flew out of the formation, heading in the direction pointed by the Azure Fox Saint King, a dark shadow following closely behind him.

'Huuu...'
The huge waves battered the Heavenly Pillar constantly, and the Heavenly Pillar sank slowly, plunging into the sea.
All eyes were fixed on the storm raging before them, hearts pounding with anticipation.
Suddenly, a roar like thunder shook the earth. Judging from the sound, the beast was still some distance away.
But the roar's might pierced through the storm, carried across the water, leaving everyone feeling intensely oppressed. Many paled with terror, experiencing for the first time such a fearsome beast.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Roar! Roar!"
The roars grew closer, one by one.
Soon, a cultivator proficient in the art of spirit vision saw an omen.
In the distance, waves surged and crashed. Amidst the storm, a colossal figure emerged.
Not only were there human cultivators present, but also demon kings. Seeing the ferocious beast's massive form, they all inevitably thought of the Dragon Whale Great Saint, renowned throughout the East Sea.
Longjing Great Saint possesses the bloodline of a dragon whale and is renowned as the foremost great saint among the demon race. He stands independent from the Sacred King Palace, his true form being that of a dragon whale. His massive size surpasses all other sea demons in the East China Sea, yet compared to this ferocious beast, he appears diminutive and delicate.
A wall of water surged toward them with astonishing speed, and the sea behind it was pitch black.
Black was the shape of the beast, resembling a manta ray, its two fleshy wings stretching endlessly. A gentle flap sent up waves like mountains, with a roar that rivaled the breaking of heaven and earth, chilling one to the bone.
In front of the ferocious beast, a figure flickered in and out.
Before the ferocious beast, this figure appeared extraordinarily small. With a casual flick of its fin, the beast could shatter him to pieces, yet he was incredibly tenacious. Every time an attack neared, he would vanish into thin air and reappear in front once more.
The ferocious beast was enraged by this elusive little creature and gave chase relentlessly.
>
"Prepare for battle!"
All at once, the Enlightened One reminded everyone.
Hua Shen's gaze sank slightly, looking in the direction of the beast. He felt the pressure from this beast was stronger than the one he had encountered before.

'Whoosh!'
That figure that attracted the beasts appeared again, closer to the formation this time. It dashed into the opening deliberately left for it.
As he surged forward towards the puppet, he was suddenly enveloped in shadow.
All eyes were drawn upwards in astonishment. A terrifying beast had silently flown into the sky, its wings resembling clouds that brushed against heaven. Its left wing whipped up a monstrous gale, aimed directly at the puppet, and slammed into it with brutal force.
This was no ordinary wind pressure, it invoked the might of heaven and earth. If someone else were here, they would have long since lost their ability to resist. Yet, the puppet once again vanished into thin air.
>
The moment the puppet vanished, a five-colored crown suddenly appeared above the beast's head.
Though their sizes differ greatly, the fluctuation emanating from the crown is in no way inferior.
The Holy Light and the Saint King of Azure Fox stood on either side of the crowns. Five heavenly pillars surged out from the sea simultaneously, forming a five-element formation with distinct visions, yet connected through the five-element coronations. All the visions together formed a gigantic multicolored canopy, covering the sky and blotting out the sun, shrouding the ferocious beast above.
“Whoosh!”
The Five Elements Crown burst forth with radiant light, looking similar to before but possessing a different kind of power.

The yang and yin five elements are prohibited from emanating divine light; yang is the prohibition, yin is the absolute.
At first, the ancient demon was focused on killing. He used only the Reverse Five Elements Divine Light from start to finish. Now, he prioritizes imprisoning ferocious beasts.
Five-colored radiance instantly enveloped the beast's entire body, its black form becoming a dazzling spectacle of colors. The layers of light condensed, resembling layer upon layer of cages.
Not only that, as the Five Elements Crown exerted its power, a continuous sound of breaking through the air arose. Iron chains like dragons shot into the formation, connecting with each other in pairs and crisscrossing to entangle the ferocious beasts all around, also possessing the power of confinement.
He is also one of the people who manipulate the iron ropes.
Besides, there were all sorts of other visions. The crowd was orderly and everything they had prepared came into effect one after another, sealing off this world and the monstrous beast that crashed in.
Before this, anyone who knew the full picture of the trap would think that the cage was impregnable.
Next, they witnessed a shocking scene.
The cage was barely formed, the beast roared like thunder, and suddenly billowing smoke surged into the sky from its body, like a river breaking its banks. Its power was enough to shake heaven and earth.
'...bang bang bang...'
>
More than half of the iron chains had snapped, and the heavenly pillar was trembling. The Five Elements Crown was still relatively stable, but both figures of the Nascent Soul cultivators were swaying.
Mo Xingdao appeared in the distance, watching the scene before him with lingering fear.
When luring ferocious beasts, several perilous situations arose, and he spent both treasures that the two Nascent Soul cultivators had given him.
He swallowed several pills and quickly recovered, then flew to the battlefield.

Just as he was about to join the grand formation, a transmission suddenly reached him: “Friend Mo, do you have the Lingxi Immortal Fruit with you”
It was just the right time for Qin Sang to make a deal!
Mo Xingdao's figure paused slightly, his eyes flashed, and he was a little surprised, "Fellow Daoist brought the Wuxing Dan"
After a brief exchange, Mo Xindao stayed outside the battlefield perimeter and used his puppets to assist everyone from afar.
At this point, the confrontation between the two sides had reached its most intense level.
The ferocious beast unleashed its might, but the other side had meticulously set up a trap and even had a Nascent Soul cultivator guarding it. How could it be so easily broken through
After the initial chaos, we gradually figured out the beast's attack patterns and quickly adjusted.
The chains clanged together, snapping and breaking, again and again an unknown number of times. Even the one manipulating the chains was showing signs of exhaustion.
“Get ready to team up!”
The Wise Luminary spoke in a low voice, reminding them that this was the crucial step that would determine victory or defeat. If successful, there would be a 50% chance of capturing the beast alive, but the formation itself also held hidden dangers.
"Liu Dao You..."
He turned his gaze to a tall and thin Taoist priest standing beside him. This person was an elder of the Qiong Ying Sect, rumored to be from a fairy island overseas.
The Liu family cultivator understood and took over the control of the iron chain from his avatar. Similar rotations were also taking place in other locations.
The man who came in retreated, taking a deep breath. His figure shrunk back further and further before he turned and ran into the storm without looking back. Someone noticed his actions and stared in disbelief.
Even at a critical juncture for their alliance, the Azure Fox Saint King still glanced over, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes, too lazy to pay any heed.
Here's the translation:

Just when Mo Xindao felt bewildered and puzzled, a voice suddenly rang in his ear, "Mo Dao, are you well"
The sound was right beside him. Mo Xingdao's spine tingled, and a wave of coldness washed over him. He suddenly turned his head and saw a figure appear beside him at some point.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“You…”
He never expected Qin Sang to dare to have the deity appear!
No, that's not the real being. It's a phantom formed by the condensation of divine consciousness. This isn't just a simple manifestation of divine consciousness; it has actually condensed into a true form!
Mo Xingdao fully opened his divine sense, becoming increasingly shocked. This person's true form was definitely nearby, yet he felt absolutely nothing.
A phantom hand held a jade bottle, smiling as it looked at Mo Xingdao.
Mo Xingdao fell silent and took out the Lingxi Immortal Fruit.
Please confirm that both parties' treasures are genuine.
A phantom flashed and disappeared, leaving only a sentence: "Thank you fellow cultivator for making this possible, we will meet again!"
Mo Xingdao remained silent, his gaze fixed on the chaotic battlefield. He wasn't sure if the two cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage had noticed Qin Sang.
Finally, he turned his head to gaze at the endless storm, silent for a moment before letting out a slight sigh.
In the distance, the original and its incarnation converged, packing away their treasures without a trace of reluctance, and vanished into thin air.
"There was no ambush by the demon king..."
Qin Sang was a little surprised.
Fearing that things might change overnight, he chose to make the deal now and cunningly picked a time when the alliance was at its most crucial.
I thought the Azure Fox Saint King might order his demon kings to set an ambush. Qin Sang didn't mind killing a few demon kings by the way, enriching his treasury.
Unexpectedly, the Qinghu Saint King truly kept his promise.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Little did they know, although the Qinghu Saint King bore the title of "Saint King," she lacked the true essence of a saint. Her bloodlust was too heavy, and she neglected external affairs. The powerful clans within the East Sea Demon Tribe feared her, yet on the surface they only showed obedience, secretly colluding and feigning compliance.
The Azure Fox Holy King has a limited number of demons under his command, and other Demon Kings may not be willing to offend powerful enemies for the Azure Fox Holy King.

With everything going smoothly, he escaped the storm zone. Qin Sang didn't think much about it and returned directly to Lùyě.
Spirit gathering array, pills, spiritual materials...
Although Qin Sang had collected all sorts of treasures, he didn't immediately examine them.
There was one thing he had been looking forward to for a long time, eagerly awaiting his return.
Lu Ye changed direction, following the edge of the North Sea westward.
Not until it neared the storm belt did it stop in the uninhabited western regions.
Qin Sang took his incarnation and flew out of Lushun, entering a desolate mountain range.
This is the place Qin Sang specially chose for attracting the Heavenly Demon.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two figures flew to the sky above a basin.
As the moon satellite, Meng Yue Wei, stood guard in the basin, she sensed something and flew up to pay respects.
"Patrol the perimeter, keep everyone away!"
Qin Sang commanded in a low voice, his words falling to the ground.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In the basin, several black, square platforms stood tall. It was impossible to tell what material they were made of.
There are seven platforms in total, arranged according to the positions of the Big Dipper. Though there is nothing connecting the platforms, they possess an inexplicable charm that seems to circulate between them.
This is exactly the required altar. It's not really an altar, but a special formation that can break through intangible barriers and summon extraterrestrial demons.
Qin Sang flashed to land directly opposite the ladle's handle.
His avatar also came over, but he stood behind Qin Sang, acting as a protector while also being ready to replace him or take the brunt of any misfortune.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang sat cross-legged on the ground, his mind inward and collected. He sat quietly for a long time, silently practicing secret techniques.
The next moment, one of the seven platforms lit up with black light.
Above the high platform, within the darkness, a mass of black qi twisted and writhed.
Then a second platform appeared, and there were strange occurrences on it.
The order of changes on the high platform did not strictly follow the distance from Qin Sang, and no clear pattern could be seen.
As more and more platforms began to mutate, a cluster of black mist enveloped Qin Sang. Qin Sang's consciousness plunged into a state of drowsiness, as if being pulled by a strange force into the depths of an infinite void.
He heard strange noises, not human voices, as if there were many strange energies flowing in the void.
He was clear-headed and did not lose himself in it. He focused on recalling the scriptures.
According to the scripture's description, when the secret art is completed and one touches upon the celestial demon, there will be a special sensation.
But as time passed, when the secret art was completed, Qin Sang did not feel anything unusual.
Just as Qin Sang was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a chill.
"Here I come!" as it began, fading away with the sound of thunder.The sword light abruptly slowed, finally stopping above a desolate stretch of water.Qin Sang sheathed his sword and stood tall, a look of excitement...
