Chapter 1726: The Glittering Golden Sword Cave

ehehe..."A young man surnamed Han chuckled softly, seeming unfazed. He glanced at Qin Sang and asked a peculiar question, “Since General Qin is heading north, is your master the Duke of Dongyang”He al...The domain name of the Chinese language website is directly accessible at lightning speed. The land of Xi Tu is surrounded by firestorms on all sides, making its environment almost identical to that of the Western Desert.

On the outskirts of Xitu, there are hardly any oases or living creatures. As you approach the center of Xitu, the humidity gradually increases, but it is far from abundant. Compared to other realms, the entire Xitu is a dry and desolate wasteland.

Just like cultivators and mortals, one chooses their dwelling place based on the water.

Of the several domains Qin Sang has traveled through, Behai and Canglang Hai are mostly oceans, but they have far more habitable places than Xitu.

The West is the most sparsely populated, and it is also the most difficult place for mortals to survive.

On the way to Dabi Chan Temple, Qin Sang deliberately slowed down his escape speed, savoring the customs and people of Xitu. He found that Buddhism was widely practiced here.

The Buddhist traditions of the West and Central Plains are slightly different.

Passing through one oasis after another, Qin Sang often saw Buddhist disciples. These Buddhist disciples walked the world, guiding water vapor and nurturing a region, so that the common people of the Western Regions did not perish due to the disappearance of oases and become displaced.

When Qin Sang and Master Zhi Tan were discussing Dharma, they learned that among the Buddhist temples in the Western Regions, some monks took saving sentient beings as their lifelong aspiration and put it into practice. Some people attained enlightenment during their travels and became true holy monks. There were also those with exceptional talents who, because of this, went astray in their own practice.

Of course, Xitu is not entirely dominated by Buddhism, there are other Taoist traditions as well, but their strength is inferior to Buddhism.

Along the way, Qin Sang and Master Huaiyin exchanged their insights on cultivating their physical bodies.

Qin Sang had the intention of asking Master Huaiyin for advice on this trip, and the other party bringing it up naturally made him overjoyed.

Qin Sang has cultivated Tian Yao Lian Xing to the mid-stage of its fourth transformation. In terms of realm, he is only slightly inferior to Master Huai Yin, and has the qualifications to exchange ideas with him, rather than simply asking for advice.

And they each practiced Buddhist Dharma, one practicing demonic Dharma, two completely different lineages, mutually verifying, both with gains.

The two chatted happily, completely ignoring the others.

From Master Huaiyin, I learned that the body-refining method has been passed down in Daxie Chan Temple since ancient times. However, due to the limitations of this world's cultivation environment, pure body cultivators like Master Huaiyin are very rare.

"The Grandmaster is dedicated to the path of physical refinement, yet he has achieved such great things. I am in awe," Qin Sang couldn't help but praise.

Master Huaiyin's face was flushed, and he looked at Qin Sang with a profound expression. "The reason why Bi Temple has been able to continue the Dharma lineage of Vajra Protector is not only due to the completeness of its teachings, but also..."

Qin Sang detected the change in his tone and her eyes flashed, "I wonder why"

As he spoke, he glanced at Master Zhi Tan beside him.

He surely couldn't fail to realize that this must be a secret of the Great Compassion Zen Temple, something they wouldn't normally tell an outsider like him. Master Huaiyin mentioning it himself clearly meant to provoke his question.

Master Zhi Tan smiled but said nothing, and did not stop Master Huai Yin.

Master Huixin clasped his hands together and said, "There's a secret place in this temple called the Yaojin Sword Cave. It was probably where ancient sword cultivators practiced or fought. Over time, the sword intent within the cave disappeared, but for some reason, the sword energy mutated into Yaojin Sword Qi and remains to this day. It's no longer truly sword energy, but sword cultivators can glean insights from it to learn the peerless sword techniques of ancient masters. For us physical cultivators, it's a treasure trove. By absorbing the Yaojin Sword Qi into your body and using it to temper your physique, you can achieve twice the results with half the effort! If it weren't for the Yaojin Sword Cave, this old monk would have had a much harder time reaching his current level of cultivation."

Qin Sang also didn't expect that Master Huaiyin would be so forthright, revealing the origins and functions of the Yaogingjian Cave to him without reservation.

Isn't this enticing him to go on an adventure to the Yajin Sword Cave

Raising his cultivation base of the Heaven Fiend Forging Physique was Qin Sang's top priority. Coming across a treasure trove like the Yajin Sword Cave, he wouldn't miss it for anything.

He also knew very well that the other party's initiative to mention the Yaojin Sword Cave must have ulterior motives.

Qin Sang had already stood at the peak of this world, unafraid of others having ulterior motives. He immediately said: "It can't escape the Master's eyes. I am indeed looking for such an opportunity. I wonder what I should do. Your temple can let me enter the Sword Cave and take a look"

“If the Divine Master commands, this temple shall open its doors wide to accommodate you! After paying respects to all the abbots of the various temples, this humble monk will immediately escort the Divine Master to the Sword Cave.”

Master Huìyǐn resolutely stated, then shifted his tone, “However…”

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

“Huaiyin,” Master Zhitan suddenly called out to Master Huaiyin, and said to Qin Sang, “My own affairs, I will tell the True Monarch myself. I wish to request that the True Monarch protect me!”

"Protector"

Qin Sang was stunned, suddenly understanding something, his face revealing surprise, "Master, do you want to show the shock of transforming into a god"

Given the strength of Dàbēi Chán Temple, there was no other matter in this world that required protection from others. Qin Sang could only think of this one possibility.

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

"Not bad!"

Master Zhi Tan nodded.

“This... Master, why the rush”

Qin Sang indeed didn't expect that someone would knowingly break through under the circumstances of the Heavenly Dao Demon Sound.

Unless their lifespan reached its end, or the Heavenly Tribulation of Nine-Nine approached, and they knew they couldn't overcome it, after Qin Sang brought news of the Ascension Platform, this world once again had hope. Delaying for a while wouldn't hurt.

"This old monk has long begun preparing for the impact of the divine realm's shattering, amassing strength for an entire calamity. Three years have passed, the time is ripe, and it's time to break through with all my might. As the saying goes, 'when the moon is full, it wanes.' The opportunity has arrived, and delaying would only be detrimental. Whether we succeed or fail, I will accompany True Lord Cheng in navigating this great tribulation of the mortal realm. Even if we fail, it will serve as a warning to those who come after, reminding them that the Heavenly Dao's demonic sounds are not to be underestimated. We must lend True Lord Cheng our full support, for only then is there a chance of survival," said Master Zhitan, hands clasped together, his expression serene.

Concern clouded the eyes of Master Huaiyin and those around him.

>

Qin Sang fell silent.

In fact, Qin Sang had already sensed it. After he asked Xingji Master to tell Zhi Du Wang and others about the Heavenly Dao Devil Sound, they didn't fully believe him, and perhaps some thought it was alarmist.

If there were no temptations of ascension platforms, those people would not necessarily try their best.

The root of the matter is that Qin Sang is an anomaly.

Who at this stage of cultivation would think themselves inferior to others or that their heart is lacking

If Qin Sang can succeed, why can't they There are more than just Spirit-Calming Incense in this world. As long as they make sufficient preparations, there might be a chance.

On the contrary, Qin Sang explained the truth to Fa Dao.

“Master, do you have the Spirit-Calming Incense” Qin Sang asked.

Master Zhi Tan nodded, "Back then, when I asked the holy one Hui Guang for the recipe, I refined a single one. Unfortunately, the spiritual herbs needed for the superior鎮靈香 are extremely rare. I searched all over Xi Tu but couldn't gather them. Besides, there's another Buddhist treasure in my temple that can protect my primordial spirit and shield me from the damage caused by the wind of calamity. Afterward, it will allow me to cross the Heart Demon Tribulation in the best possible state. However, this treasure requires someone else to wield it, acting as a protector for me remotely. The higher their cultivation level, the stronger the effect. Please, True Monarch, lend your hand and wield this treasure. Please rest assured, True Monarch, this is a secret treasure used to cross the tribulation. It will not involve you in the celestial calamity, but it will greatly consume your true essence."

Master Zhitan explained in detail.

What a treasure to find something like this in the world.

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

It is difficult for cultivators to borrow power during a heavenly tribulation. Outsiders interfering not only cause the tribulation to change and its power to increase, but also put those who interfere at risk of being affected by the tribulation's waves.

Upon hearing this, Qin Sang immediately thought of Liuli and eagerly inquired about her, but the result left him disappointed.

This treasure is called the Mingwang Diagram. It depicts the image of the Vajrapani Bodhisattva, a powerful protector deity in Tibetan Buddhism. It is a treasured possession passed down through generations at the Dabie Chan Temple. Only those who have cultivated the fundamental practices of the Dabie Chan Temple can receive the protection of this treasure. Even masters from the same lineage, like Master Huoyin, are not eligible.

It is said that the original Tribulation-Crossing Diagram had three parts, each corresponding to one of the three calamities. The other two parts were incomplete. The Western Buddhist sect heavily focused on refining their hearts because they actually wanted those other two parts. Unexpectedly, the Mingwang Diagram turned out to be the most important.

Qin Sang sighed inwardly, without hesitation, decisively agreed, "Master rest assured, I will definitely lend a helping hand!"

All the monks rejoiced upon hearing this.

“Since both masters have mentioned these matters, this humble monk will no longer keep it a secret. This humble monk came here to ask Master Huaiyin about a secret technique, the one that Master Huaiyin used to reverse injuries when he was teaching on Emperor's Mountain. This humble monk is preparing for the future, in case I have to return to the Netherworld. With this technique, there might be a chance of survival.”

Qin Sang said sincerely, "Master, please rest assured. I will not take advantage of the situation. When I seek that secret art, I will not mix these two things together. As for how to protect Master during his tribulation, I will definitely do my best."

Master Zhitan nodded, "This poor monk believes the True Monarch, however this secret art is a true transmission from the Wai Yin lineage. It depends on Wai Yin's intentions."

"After returning to the temple, this poor monk passed down this 'Inner Lion Seal' scripture to the True Monarch," Master Huaiyin responded without hesitation.

Qin Sang's expression relaxed slightly: "Master, what do you require"

Here's the translation without HTML tags, just the text content:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Master Huaiyin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "If I find the ascension platform, all I ask is that True Master leave me a place beside him. I have no other requests."

As they spoke, the gaze fell upon Daci Zen Temple.

Dàbēi Chán Temple built a temple by the lake.

This lake is the largest in Xitu, so large that you can't see the other shore from its bank. Outsiders might even mistake it for an ocean.

By the time they arrived, all the temple abbots had been waiting at Da Bi Chan Temple for a long time.

It was nominally a water and land dharma assembly.

Qin Sang appeared at the Dharma assembly, repeating what he had done in Zhongzhou.

After the meeting ended, Master Zhi-tan retreated for silent meditation, waiting for his three-year retreat to end before he could break through. Master Huaiyin took Qin Sang to the Zen hall to receive teachings.

In the meditation hall.

Two people sat opposite each other, cross-legged on meditation cushions.

Master Huaiyin imparted the Dharma through the transmission of Xin Yin. With a gesture, he pointed his finger at Qin Sang's brow, releasing a golden ray of light. Qin Sang slowly closed her eyes, and a profound and mysterious art appeared in her mind.

>

"As Qin Sang pondered the secret art, he could hear Master Yin's voice echoing faintly in his ears."

"The *Internal Lion Seal* is said to be one of the nine great luminous seals passed down from ancient times. These nine great luminous seals are rumored to have some connection to Taoism, but their origins are unknown. Each seal has a different function and possesses profound magical powers. The Bi Temple only inherited the *Internal Lion Seal*, and it has only received half of the complete seal..."

Even if it's only half-printed, its divine powers are extraordinary. The True Monarch's manifested physical body realm should be able to barely wield them.

“The effect of this seal, True Master, can be seen as restoration of oneself. Even if one is severely wounded, even if the essence is harmed, as long as there is time to form the seal, one can swiftly recover, turning defeat into victory and even reversing death, just like that poor monk…”

>But because it is only half-printed, the secret art is incomplete.

"As for the full extent of the Lion's Seal Scripture's supernatural powers, this humble monk is unaware. With only half the seal remaining, there are many limitations that cannot be ignored."

First, a seal can only be used once per injury. If it is used continuously, it could backfire and cause the body to collapse.

Secondly, after performing the seal technique, it's best to leave the place of conflict as soon as possible because this is not a true recovery. If you exceed the time limit of the seal's effect, your injuries will rapidly worsen and become even more severe than before.

Guided by Master Huishyin's instructions, Qin Sang quickly gained a general understanding of the *Inner Lion Seal*. He couldn't help but marvel at the mystery of the secret art and wondered how powerful the complete *Inner Lion Seal* truly was.

As Master Haiyin said, this secret technique allows for true healing of wounds, but it can also save lives in critical moments.

"Thank you, Master, for passing on your teachings," Qin Sang stood up and bowed.

He didn't immediately comprehend the *Inner Lion Seal*. There was plenty of time as he traveled through the storm.

Speaking of which, this is the second kind of Fulin he received. Before that, there was the "Seven Masters Fulin" from the Jinghai Sect. Its profoundness couldn't compare to the "Inner Lion Seal," but it was a technique for killing.

Qin Sang had already mastered the Auspicious Seal, Lotus Seal, Dharma Wheel Seal, and Demon-Crushing Seal. After breaking through, he could cultivate the fifth and sixth seals, which were the Diamond Wisdom Seal and the Diamond Heavenly Stomach Seal.

>

Master Huaiyin also rose and said, "This poor monk will now open the Yaojin Sword Cave. For these three years, True Monarch can cultivate in the sword cave."

Having said that, Master Huinan took Qin Sang and left Dàbēi Chan Temple.

To everyone's surprise, the Shining Sword Cave was actually located in the lake in front of the temple.

The two of them needed to protect themselves with true essence and dive deep. Qin Sang estimated they were almost at the bottom of the lake. The master, Huaiyin, in front, made a gesture.

Qin Sang felt the Buddhist temple's restrictions fluctuate, and then saw a faint Buddha's light emerging from the dark lake bottom. Below the Buddha's light was actually a mountain! It turned out that this place was far from the lake bottom, and the real lake bottom was under this mountain.

"Oh, how the world changes!"

Qin Sang sighed inwardly, following Huai Yin Master through the restriction and entering a cave.

The cave was dry because the moisture was kept out.

At the entrance of the cave, Qin Sang already felt the extremely sharp aura within. Before even seeing the so-called shining golden sword qi, he already had the illusion of being pierced by ten thousand swords!

When he saw the Golden Sword Cave with his own eyes, he couldn't help but stop and gaze at it for a long time.

Inside the sword cave, golden light was dazzling. Sword qi, as substantial as real swords, darted about the cave, like real golden swords.

Grand Master Huaiyin even let him resist the sword qi, allowing the golden sword qi to pierce his body, almost self-flagellatingly, letting the sword qi destroy his flesh and blood!

>

“Not only does it have the effect of washing the marrow and cutting through the bone to establish anew, but the strange energy within the sword qi, which this poor monk calls 'Brilliant Gold Qi', can also be integrated into one's body to strengthen one's physical form. As a True Monarch already has the cultivation base of Nascent Soul, as long as one can endure the pain and use true essence to protect their body, by accepting more Brilliant Gold Sword Qi, the effect should far surpass that of this poor monk back then…”

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

Master Huaiyin stepped into the sword cave, letting the sword qi permeate his body. Golden light burst from him, but his expression remained undisturbed.

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

The reason why it is said that back then, because Master Huaiyin had already refined the Xinkjinyuan crystal, things are different now. He absorbs the Qi of Gengjin that travels through the void. This Yaogjin Sword Cave holds no significance for him anymore.

Qin Sang nodded and stepped into the sword cave. A golden sword qi immediately struck him, suppressing his true energy. He allowed the golden sword qi to pierce his body, feeling the agonizing pain of being torn apart.

He focused his mind, and after the intense pain subsided, it felt as if a strange energy had merged with his body.

Master Huaiyin instructed Qin Sang on how to absorb the golden sword qi, then took his leave.
