Chapter 1780: Dingzhen Dan
it had a chance to escape, but also not giving it time to breathe.Under Qin Sang's repeated harassment, the two-headed hound, who was already severely wounded, was forced to overuse its divine abilit...Please tell me more about it.
Qin Sang said, a guess already forming in his heart.
The next words of the Swordmaster were exactly as he had expected.
“If your ancestors left any legacies, go directly to the Dao Court. The Dao Court values face and generally won't make things difficult. For example, if your sect has a long history with the Dao Court, or if your ancestors made meritorious contributions in battles between the two sides.”
"Speaking of this, Zhijian Zhenren didn't pause, and continued, Qin Sangru came from such a sect, he needn't ask him for advice."
"Approach the Dao Court yourself, and it will offer you two choices. If you draw near to the Dao Court and wish to be its agent, obtaining a talismans is not difficult."
"Wouldn't that make us servants of the Dao Court" Qin Sang frowned.
Qin Sang didn't believe that the Dao Court would treat them as their own people. Human nature is like this, no matter when, where, or which sect, there will always be differences in closeness.
Once faced with a life-or-death mission, the Dao Court would undoubtedly think of these people first.

Bound by others, how can one be free and carefree
"The Swordmaster explained, 'Those who can cultivate to this level possess exceptional temperament and aptitude. The Dao Court wouldn't truly treat them as slaves. Ordinarily, the Dao Court generally refrains from interference. It is said that those who answer the Dao Court's summons receive generous rewards. When a summons arrives, if one is unwilling to respond, they will not be forced. However, once the Dao Court and the Ghost Nation go to war, I fear..."

Qin Sang nodded, it was conceivable.
A Nascent Soul cultivator being able to act as a lord in the Daoist court should not easily allow such a powerful expert to die.
Currently, Dao Ting and Gui Fang Guo are only on a standoff, still able to maintain restraint.
But who knows when the existing situation will be broken
One side suddenly launched a war, instantly dragging Mount Zhi into the flames of conflict. This hasn't been unheard of before.
“If I don't want to rely on the Daoist sect, what else can I do” Qin Sang asked.
The Sword Master only uttered four words, "A life for a scroll!"
Qin Sang lightly exhaled, secretly thinking that this was indeed the case. Just like He Ming Shan's Dao Ting Law Invitation, it was used to earn merit for Dao Ting in exchange for the qualification to ascend the ranks.

But...
Qin Sang's thoughts turned, "The Dao Court shouldn't send people to their deaths, right"
>Cultivators in this realm typically ascend to the celestial realms when their cultivation reaches its peak and they are close to breaking through.
That is to say, even when Gu Shanji the cultivator reaches the peak of the Yuan Ying period, he would have to contact the Dao Court.
At that time, they had not yet reached the strength of the Divine Transformation stage.
The Daoist court wouldn't allow them to obtain divine-level legal summons, otherwise, what's the difference between that and harming people for profit
Unexpectedly, the Swordmaster shook his head slightly. To Qin Sang's surprise, he said: "As far as I know, there are two types of summoning techniques like this. One is only achievable by those with profound mystical understanding. The second type is less dangerous but often requires hundreds or even thousands of years of unwavering focus. There's also a chance of failure. They need to prepare for the breakthrough, so how much time do they have to spare Those who don't want to be bound by the Dao Court are all proud and ambitious individuals. They generally prioritize their own breakthroughs before responding to the Dao Court summons."
Dao Ting is ruthless!
Those who dare to break through before ascending, for the sake of freedom, are not simple people either.
The difference between breaking through the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage is like heaven and earth. Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage involves a heavenly tribulation!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The Three Calamities and the Heart Demon Tribulation can both be fatal.
Before ascending the celestial ladder, one encounters tribulation. Exceeding the protective capacity of one's own talismanic realm, true essence becomes unstable. To overcome three calamities is a daunting task.
However, this place is stronger than the Storm Realm where death is certain. The influence of the Six Heavenly Wills on the mind is subtle and gradual, unlike the immediate effects of the Celestial Demon Sound. Therefore, the power of the Heart Demon Tribulation will not be enhanced by this.
Even so, without strong confidence and ability, I wouldn't dare to do this.
Even if he successfully breaks through, he should suppress his true essence like him, his strength greatly reduced. How can he complete the divine transformation-level summoning
Qin Sang asked this question.
"When duty calls, Dao Ting will bestow upon you a Zhenzhen Pill. During the pill's active period, you can fully recover your strength and be unaffected by the influence of the Six Heavenly Qi," said Zhi Jian Zhenjun, his tone shifting as he suddenly smiled, "In this regard, those like you, cultivators of the Dragon Tiger Altar with such forceful power, are actually the most unburdened."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang understood the reason in a flash.
A Lidao cultivator cultivates their physical body, the only thing they fear is mental confusion. The Dragon and Tiger Arena's role is to protect one's mind.
>
They can also break through without ascending the ranks, with no worries, their strength will not be harmed, and their hope of crossing the tribulation is very high.
After the breakthrough, a cultivator of strength can still maintain powerful combat power, while others must suppress their true essence to the Nascent Soul stage.
This is also one of the reasons why many cultivators choose Long Hu Tan over the orthodox path of Daoism.
“There's actually a divine pill called Dingzhen Dan!”
Qin Sang sighed.
Daoism has taken deep roots in this world, and it is certain that they have explored many ways to solve the problem of the six days' celestial energy. Talismans are the most complete system among these methods.
Jingzhen Dan is a medicinal pill. Its power is unsustainable, and each person is only allowed to take one. It must be quite valuable.
Qin Sang has traveled to so many places, but hasn't seen anywhere that sells it.
"Moreover, compared to the other two factions' fellow cultivators, the summoning you received should be easier," continued Zhjian Zhenren.
Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat.
From the tone of Jian Zhenren, it seems that there's a difference between the talismans of the three major schools.
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Sang's expression grew solemn. He spoke in a low voice, "What if I don't want to ascend to the Long Hu Tan talismans"
With a flash of insight, Zhijian Zhenren immediately grasped the hidden meaning in Qin Sang's words. His eyes narrowed in surprise as he exclaimed, "Are you a cultivator of Fa"
The three major Taoist schools, the Jindingtan and Bingmatang, are both based on the cultivation of true essence.
The Dragon-Tiger Platform stands alone, unable to settle true essence but capable of increasing the speed of cultivation in terms of strength.
For the Dragon-Tiger Gate, it's a matter of choosing between fish and bear's paw - you can't have both.
Each cultivator can only choose one talisman of the same rank in each realm.
The Dragon-Tiger Platform, due to its unique talismans, cannot stabilize true essence and must forge ahead on the path of strength.
Unless you acquire talismans and change your Daoist practice to include them, starting from scratch, otherwise, it is not possible to simultaneously practice both.
Although the first two schools could also cultivate physical bodies, their own practice was inherently difficult. Moreover, without the support of the Dragon Tiger Hall, the results were not as effective as those of true force cultivators. Therefore, practitioners who cultivated both were very rare.
In fact, Qin Sang's journey into the realm of physical refinement was a twist of fate. The Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique had been stagnant throughout his Nascent Soul stage. After achieving the Divine Transformation stage, he initially planned to return to the Origin Abyss across the Eastern Sea, but due to the impending Heavenly Tribulation, he was forced to revive this cultivation technique.
Qin Sang nodded slightly, but did not explicitly say that he was originally a cultivator of law or a cultivator of strength. He became a cultivator of law after receiving his talisman.
"No wonder your poison skills are so formidable," Zhijian Zhenren shook his head repeatedly, as if lamenting his own insufficient eyesight, "It's a good thing you didn't cultivate at the Long Hu Altar. You should have also realized that the Long Hu Altar is not orthodox within Taoism, and it won't lead far."

Qin Sang's heart moved, "I've heard rumors before, I'm not sure...could it be because of the demonic talismans"
The rumors among cultivators were intriguing; the Dragon-Tiger Altar's talismans were said to have been inspired by demonic talismans.
This realm is clearly more suitable for cultivators of brute strength, and there are many practitioners who cultivate in the Dragon-Tiger Arena. However, true disciples of Taoism scoff at this.
When something is unusual, there must be a demon!
Qin Sang had long suspected this.
"Not bad," Zhijian Zhenren nodded, "Demonic creatures have extraordinary talents, and their bloodline powers can enhance demonic talismans. Our human race lacks bloodline divine abilities, how could we compare to them Although it's unclear where the limit of Longhu Tang lies, almost no cultivators in Dao Ting practice Longhu Tang, which shows it clearly."
Qin Sang seemed thoughtful upon hearing this.
>
The guardian deity is not someone you can simply invite and then rest easy.
The talisman altar is not only a place to store talismans, but also a palace where deities reside. If the talisman altar is unstable, the deities will be restless. This is the biggest hidden danger of the Dragon and Tiger Altar!
"Fellow Daoist, if you seek the methods and talismans of the Taoist school, but wish not to be bound by its restrictions, you must carefully plan," cautioned Master Zhishjian.
"Many thanks for your advice!"
Qin Sang rose and bowed.
This is a test.
If he put in the effort, he could find out this information too, but it would definitely be mixed with true and false news, unlike what Zhizhen the Sword Wielder said so detailed.
>
Knowing this, you can be more decisive in your actions in the future.
“My friend, there is no need for such formality.”
Chi Jian Zhenren waved his hands repeatedly, telling Qin Sang an address. "The Dao Ting has dispatched a true person named Zhan Gui specifically for this matter. He resides in seclusion on a spirit island in the northern part of Xingdao Xianhu Lake. When you visit Zhenren Zhan Gui, you might as well let me know."
“So, fellow Daoist ascended through this Zhenren Zhan Gui” Qin Sang noted the location of Ling Island.
>
The Executioner Sword Immortal 'hmm'ed and said: "This poor Dao has met with the Returning to Azure Immortal a few times, I may not be able to smooth things over, I should not make things difficult for you friends."
Qin Sang thought, "I need to prepare first. It'll probably take a few years before I can answer the call."
The Daoist methods have degrees of difficulty. Whatever tasks are given are entirely up to this Zhan Gui True Person's decision. Having someone introduce you is not necessarily a bad thing.
"It's alright, I won't be leaving Jianxin Island anytime soon."
After they had made their agreement, Qin Sang stayed on Jianxin Island for several more days.
Two figures flew through the air above the vast expanse of water. They were Qin Sang and the Sword-wielding Immortal.
The two of them flew north, chatting leisurely as they went.
“The two Daoist friends are on Youhuang Island, three hundred miles north. They should have received the message and are waiting for us there,” Zhijian Zhenren pointed north and said.
They are now on their way to meet the friends of Zhijian Zhenren, it is said that both people are cultivators of the Huashen realm.
“The two Taoist friends' names are Gu Yun and Yu Huang respectively. Yu Huang, a female cultivator, is the master of Yu Huang Island, her Daoist abode. Neither of them is aloof…”

Zhijian Zhenren briefly introduces their identity.
Qin Sang noted, without revealing his thoughts, a glance at the Swordmaster. He felt that this man’s introduction of these two wasn't merely for them to get acquainted; there was another purpose behind it.
In a short time, two figures descended from the heavens and landed on a spirit island, where flowers and bamboo grew abundantly, creating a picturesque scene.
Several beautiful women stood respectfully among the flowers. Upon seeing them, they immediately bowed and led them to the secluded cave dwelling of the two real people.
You Huang, the real person, looks only about twenty-eight years old. She is petite with bright eyes and a smile like a crescent moon when she laughs, like a charming young girl.
What caught Qin Sang's attention most was another person, the Lone Cloud True Person.
>
Gu Yun Zhenren's figure was tall and slender. Standing straight, he resembled a pine tree. He was indeed a powerful cultivator. He did not conceal his strength; his qi and blood were exceptionally heavy. Qin Sang, despite having undergone the Heavenly Tribulation, had to admit that he was inferior.
The Venerable Sword Master introduced the three to each other. They bowed respectfully and took their places as host and guests.
A maidservant brought over immortal fruits and nectar, all of them rare delicacies with intoxicating aromas that made one's mouth water.
Qin Sang couldn't help but drink a few more cups.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To Qin Sang's surprise, it seemed that the Sword-Holding True Person only arranged for them to make acquaintances.
A few people were having a great time discussing things at the table.
Sometimes they would talk about the Daoist sect's secrets, Qin Sang just listened quietly.
Sometimes, when they discussed Daoist principles, Qin Sang would carefully weigh his words, concealing the identity of an outsider.
It wasn't until late at night that the excitement came to an end.
The Yuhuang Real Person sincerely invited them to stay, but the Gugun Real Person and Zhijian Real Person prepared to stay for a few more days. Qin Sang was concerned about the treasure fragment, so he stood up and said goodbye.
>
During my moments of leisure, I invite friends over and enjoy myself. It's quite relaxing...
Qin Sang flew out of Youhuang Island, and this thought popped into his head.
Looking back on my eight hundred years of experience, such leisurely time is not common.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Once I get the talismans, I'll find a cave dwelling, make some three or five friends, so that if war breaks out, we can look after each other. When things are calm, it seems alright to just practice in seclusion..."
Qin Sang pondered silently.
In the world of storms, he was always pushed around by various events. Due to his lack of talent, some opportunities had to be fought for.
As a cultivator at the Hualing stage now, he wasn't very old. Moreover, his cultivation talent had been compensated for. Ordinary treasures were no longer appealing to him, so there was no need for him to travel far and wide.
Of course, this doesn't mean he will slack off.
“I'll escort you a while.”
Behind him, a voice rang out. Zhijian Zhenren flew up, sword in hand.
"What do you think of them, fellow cultivator" asked the sword-wielding immortal.
Qin Sang frowned, puzzled, "They are all outstanding individuals."
In any world, it's not easy to break through the Divine Transformation Realm.
At this time, the sword-wielding True Person finally confessed his true intentions: "This poor monk invited fellow cultivators here, in fact, with a selfish heart."
Qin Sang glanced at him, not surprised at all.
“Over these years, I’ve been preparing for a major undertaking, which requires me to enter the source of evil. You and Gu Yun are both assistants I've hired. Speaking of it, this matter is also related to the Dao Court. Previously, I thought you might be from a Daoist temple or monastery, and since I know you’re trustworthy, if I could persuade you, not only would you be a reliable ally, but some information that has been difficult to uncover could also be obtained through your help,” Zhijian Zhenren said, laying out the whole story without reservation.
Oh？
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang shook her head. "Unfortunately, I'm not."
“However, I still want to invite you, fellow cultivator,” said the True Person with the Sword earnestly. “If this matter is successful, not only can we obtain abundant rewards, but it can also directly help you attain the qualification for advancement. Besides, by joining forces and looking after each other, it will be safer than you being alone.”
Qin Sang was taken aback. He had never revealed his true strength in front of the Sword Master.
As a general rule, those who have not yet received their talismans of ascension are definitely less powerful than those who possess them.
The Swordmaster invited him to join his ranks, seemingly out of a desire to look after him. He benefited from the good fortune they had forged in their two encounters.
Before Qin Sang could reply, the Sword-Wielding True Person said again, "Because there is still one thing that hasn't been cleared up, we are also waiting for news. It should be confirmed soon, and then I will explain the ins and outs to my fellow Daoist. My fellow Daoist needn't reply in haste; you can first visit the Jade Return True Person, and compare the difficulty of the Daoist School summons with that of the Immortal Path. Then make a decision at your leisure. Even if my fellow Daoist intends to answer the summons, if there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best!"
This is equivalent to giving Qin Sang two choices.
What Zhijian Zhenren has to do is certainly more dangerous, but the advantage is that they can look after each other.
Qin Sang pondered for a moment, then nodded lightly. "As you said, Daoist friend, I should be able to visit Zhenren Zhanguai in three to five years. At that time, I will discuss it further with Daoist friend."
"Good!"
The Immortal Swordmaster stopped his escape light.
Qin Sang slightly cupped his hands and drove the escaping light path south, returning to the Juzhong City.e familiar with the characteristics of the magic treasure, urging his divine sense and true essence to refine it.Time slowly passes.Soon, Qin Sang suddenly opened his eyes, put away the golden lock, a...
