Chapter 1997: Dark Star
erhaps they didn't know it either.Qin Sang chuckled and nodded, making a joke. “I didn't expect that Yun Youzi senior would enter the Immortal Dao even earlier than me. A few years ago, I accidentally...>
From Qin Sang's palm, pearls were born one by one, flying into the air and scattering starlight.
>
Countless pearls form a miniature starry river in the grotto.
Qin Sang gazed at this river of stars, her eyes gleaming with a mysterious light, containing the transformation of countless stars.
He was just comprehending the Heavenly River Reverse Killing Formation.
Around him, the shattered pieces of the Heavenly River Inverse Killing Formation were neatly arranged, but he hesitated to activate them.
The methods for refining magic treasures and refining formations share similarities, but also have differences. Refining formations doesn't require a high level of skill in artifact refinement, but it does demand mastery of the Dao of Array Formations. At the very least, one must be thoroughly familiar with the specific formation about to be deployed.
All formations must achieve a unified energy flow. Before refining, one must have a complete idea of each formation, only then can they come together to form a powerful array, otherwise, the result will be nothing but scrap metal.
After staring for a moment, Qin Sang raised her head and looked through the mountains towards the sky.

It was a moonless night.
The clear night sky, with countless stars converging into the Milky Way, is so dazzling that it makes one deeply feel the vastness of the void.
Qin Sang imagined himself swimming in the Milky Way, traveling between stars. Space seemed boundless, without limits, with no beginning or end; he was a tireless little fish.
This little fish, however, had the ambition of a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate. It constantly thrashed its tail, trying to stir up the “water” of the Milky Way and even become the master of the river.
The Domination was merely a delusion, Qin Sang could at most instigate the Milky Way, linking the formation of the Heavenly River Reverse Killing Formation with the stars of the Milky Way.
But when comprehending the Grand Array, delusions may not necessarily be a bad thing. Qin Sang did not impose any restrictions, allowing his thoughts to wander freely.
In such a way, it will surely come to pass that at some point, fortune will suddenly arrive, aligning with a specific point of the Heavenly River Reverse-Slash Array. From then on, things will naturally progress smoothly.
He dared to do this because he had accumulated a certain amount of knowledge about the Dao of Stars. If it were someone else, they would only wander aimlessly for thousands of miles and wouldn't be able to focus their efforts. Unless they were incredibly lucky, they would only waste time.
While Qin Sang was contemplating the Heavenly River Counter-killing Formation, Tai'乙 was practicing asceticism in Qingyang Guan.
>
Qin Sang subtly revealed to him his plan to leave and travel the world. Tai Yi suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.
He naturally wanted to follow by the lord's side, but he knew the importance of his position. As a celestial official of the Dao Court, his rank carried responsibility.
He stayed behind to look after the Qingyangguan Temple, alleviating his lord's worries. He could also constantly ponder the Four-Tiered Thunder Talisman, and a promising future lay ahead.

The Lord shall not forget him.
>
Looking back at the development of the Dao Court, the twenty-four Zhengzhi all grew from a single city and place. The Qingyang Guan overseeing the world can already be considered a type of "youzhi" (遊治). Once the Lord makes up his mind, it might even eventually grow into the Dao Court's twenty-fifth Zhengzhi.
The lord entrusted him with the care of this estate, a weighty responsibility indeed.
At the gathering for clearing the heavens, the Lord made an extravagant purchase of various treasures that could enhance one's cultivation for him.
Fearing he would disappoint Qin Sang's expectations, Tai Yi didn't dare to relax for a moment. He sat in the main hall and practiced diligently, day after day, like ten years were just one.
For a decade, Qin Sang and the others never returned to Bi Kong Dong Tian. The Four Sects were still in the preparatory stages.
On this day, Qin Sang finally walked out of his cave and came to the fire room he had carved out alone. With a wave of his hand, countless spiritual materials flew out in an imposing manner, swirling above his head.
These spiritual materials were all rare treasures of the world. Even when sealed and restricted, they displayed various wonders, illuminating the room with dazzling lights.
Qin Sang ignored these spiritual materials and first took a broken formation tool, holding it in front of him to examine it carefully.
Suddenly, Qin Sang's heart moved slightly. Several streaks of light descended from above. Without Qin Sang making any move, these streaks of light were enveloped by flames and burned themselves in the void, removing impurities and leaving behind a liquid-like essence.
Next, the broken battle armor flew past as well, melting in the flames and mixing with those essences. The result was a chaotic mess, like a pot of porridge to ordinary eyes.
Qin Sang remained calm and composed, sending out one restriction after another. They submerged into the formations, gradually revealing their extraordinary quality, with a nascent form taking shape.
>
At this point, Qin Sang suddenly stopped, pondering something in deep thought. After a long while, he continued, patiently carving away.
After much toil, a complete array was finally formed, it could be said to be very smooth, and there was no discrepancy with Qin Sang's expectations.
A good start gave Qin Sang a boost of confidence. His refining speed increased, and one piece of magical equipment after another was successfully formed.
Qin Sang completely forgot about time, unaware of how long it had passed. The flood of spiritual materials above his head disappeared, replaced by one after another array formation artifact.
These formations come in various shapes and sizes. Some are round and bright like jade beads, while many others emit a gleam of gold and iron like swords.
These swords were identical in shape, all engraved with seven stars on their blades. The only difference lay in their luster; some shone deeper and possessed a more profound aura.
'Zhen!'
The last Seven Star Sword is complete.
Qin Sang let out a long breath and tapped his fingers lightly, causing the Seven Star Sword to emit a clear and melodious sound.
Finally, it's all done!
Qin Sang slightly took a breath and returned to normal, flying to the top of the pavilion, overlooking the land.
This formation will serve as a protective barrier, naturally it must be connected to the spiritual veins and mobilize the great forces of heaven and earth to cooperate in its deployment.
Before going to the Azure Heaven Cave, Qin Sang planned to first try in the Guest Pavilion. If everything went smoothly, he would perform the Star Yuan Infusion in the Guest Pavilion.
Thus, one must modify the perspective of others to align with the grand formation. If there are no cultivators at the Transcendence Realm within the sect, even if they exhaust all their resources, it will take a very long time to complete.
Qin Sang's divine sense swept across the mountains, awakening those who were cultivating within.
Hongmei Er Yao was also brought over by Qin Sang.

Qin Sang highly valued these two monsters. They could cultivate to the late stage of human form in a broken small thousand world and stand at the peak of one realm, which showed their extraordinary talent.
After experiencing the gray lightning tribulation of the world, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, with a high chance of breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage.
After this, they will become the backbone of the Qingyangguan.
Numerous rays of light shot out from the mountains, with disciples who had been in seclusion at Qingyang Guan, the Red Plum Two Demons, Ling Shi, and remnants of Luohun Yuan including Jing Zang.
Over these years, they have been detained in a detention center, neither killed nor released. Qin Sang ignored them, wearing them down with frustration.
After subduing the remnants of Luohun Abyss, Yulang and Taiyi would have people they could rely on from now on.
Qin Sang had already thought of everything.
"I have met the great lord."
The two Red Plum demons bowed respectfully. They learned to address the two demon marquises, adding a 'Great' prefix before their titles. Little Five thought it sounded good and started calling them that too. The two demon marquises had no choice but to follow along.
Ling Shi and Qin Sang had no master-disciple relationship, so they learned from Tai Yi. They called Qin Sang "Master".
Other disciples called him Master.
A gust of spiritual wind enveloped everyone, lifting them high into the sky. Standing on a cloud, those with sharp senses had already realized something and were filled with excitement, gazing intently at Qin Sang's actions from afar.
Qin Sang retracted the previous mountain-protecting formation, raised his palms, and with a surge of energy, they shot toward the sky.
>
The earth rumbled with a tremendous sound, and the mountain peaks shook violently, so intensely that one feared they might be broken.
But this mountain was far more solid than imagined. The ground on both sides of the canyon rippled like a blanket, rising and falling, as if countless dragons were swimming beneath the surface.
The primal energy of heaven and earth shook violently, causing the clouds to churn with fury, and the heavens and earth to tremble!
The two demons of Hongmei were dumbfounded, and the disciples of Qingyangguan had never seen such a dramatic change in the world.

In their eyes, the figure in the center of the swirling clouds was as majestic as a god!
>
The clouds parted, and the mountain remained the same mountain. The earth, the canyons, and the greenery were all as before, yet there was a sense of a world transformed.

Qin Sang unleashed his formation tools, striking consecutively. He then summoned a ball of light that transformed into stars and scattered across the void, disappearing in an instant.
Finally, Qin Sang waved his hand, and the Seven Star Sword shot out in unison. The blades hung upside down, piercing the ground and disappearing into the earth.
Until Qin Sang formed the Tianhe Reversal Killing Formation, the turmoil subsided. Everyone woke up as if from a dream, unable to remember how long it had passed. But this experience left an indelible impression on their hearts.
Qin Sang glanced in this direction, a dozen seven-star swords shot out from the ground and flew towards them.
Everyone held the Seven Stars Sword.

"Focus on comprehending the Sword of Dharma."
>
Qin Sang ordered.
Passing the Seven Stars Sword to disciples, with everyone in the sect working together to face external enemies, is the strongest form of the Tianhe Inverse Killing Formation.
The situation is ever-changing and varies from person to person; it can be forged into a sword shape, or other forms.
>
Qin Sang was more accustomed to using a sword.
Everyone dared not neglect this, immediately sat cross-legged on the cloud, placing the Seven Star Sword flat on their knees. Suddenly, mysterious knowledge flowed into their minds, eagerly comprehending it like thirst quenching.
Qin Sang released his divine sense and fully sensed the formation.
>
After some time, a streak of light came from the east. It was Tai Yi, Yu Lang, and two demon marquises who arrived, accompanied by a group of elite disciples from Qingyang Guan.
As soon as they arrived, they saw the Seven Star Sword flying towards them.
Having been established for over a hundred years and having taken in hundreds of disciples, the highest cultivation level of the Qingyang Guan disciples was only at the Jindan stage. Controlled by them, the Qixing Sword naturally paled in comparison to that wielded by Yuan Ying cultivators, unable to unleash many variations.
However, Qin Sang only used the Tianhe Inverse Killing Array's stellar energy to fill his body, without needing any other changes. With Taiyi and others assisting him, it was enough, and it could also allow the younger generation to glimpse the mysteries of a top-tier grand formation.
While others practiced the Seven Stars Sword, Qin Sang retreated to the depths, running the Shadebone Technique to adjust his state and prepare for Star Essence Infusion.

Three years later.
The Black River surged, and a figure slowly rose from the water.
Qin Sang stood completely naked, revealing a perfect physique. Every inch of his body was filled with powerful energy!
Donning a Taoist robe, Qin Sang swiftly appeared atop the mountain peak. Taiyi and his disciples were practicing formations, having already grasped a certain level of understanding and able to barely operate them.
>
It's enough that they don't hold anyone back, the true main force is Qin Sang himself.
At the command, everyone's faces turned solemn as they raised their seven-star swords.
"Swish swish swish!"
Taiyi and his disciples dispersed to different locations, each occupying a node.
Meanwhile, stars glimmer and shroud the other shore.
In an instant, a massive mountain and all the people on it vanished into thin air.
Outside the mountain, one could only see a hazy starlight, but inside, it seemed like there were thousands of stars.
Within the Heavenly River Reverse-Killing Array, stars rose majestically into the sky, eventually merging with the Milky Way overhead, becoming indistinguishable from one another.
Once someone trespasses into this grand formation, they will discover that there are no towering mountains here, only a vast and magnificent celestial river.
Everyone became a part of the large formation. All abandoned their thoughts, immersing their minds completely into the formation, cutting themselves off from the world, forgetting everything outside. They only followed the guidance of the person leading the formation.
At this moment, Qin Sang stood atop the mountain, closed his eyes, and observed the formation with his heart.
Xiaowu stood beside him, the butterfly of Tianmu danced around Xiaowu, frolicking. Xiaowu occasionally let out a silver bell-like laughter.
After returning to the mountains, Xiao Wu seemed to completely forget about her experiences in the lowlands. She transformed back into the innocent and carefree little spirit she was when she first gained new life. The fact that she could suppress demonic energy made her appear even more harmless.
Suddenly, the stars flickered.
Xiaowu retracted his laughter, his gaze sharp as he looked towards the mountains beyond, standing guard with Tianmu Die to protect Qin Sang.
'Shriek!'
The phoenix cries, the stars ripple.

Qin Sang's back shone with a cyan glow, the Qingluan dharma form appearing behind Qin Sang.
He closed his eyes tightly, focusing some of his consciousness to connect with the formation, and began to operate it.
Every inch of skin, every muscle and bone was thoroughly mobilized.
Qi and blood surged, roaring like thunder.
The azure phoenix's celestial form raised its head and soared into the sky, restless and eager to spread its wings and fly.
Just then, Qin Sang's mind flashed, and the large formation that had been hidden all along suddenly activated!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Everyone felt their Seven-Star Swords trembling wildly, gritting their teeth and using all their might to control the magic swords, following the flow of the formation.
The vast array of stars resembled the Milky Way reflected in the heavens, resonating with the celestial river of emptiness. The starlight above grew increasingly brilliant.
Stars converge.
A wondrous celestial phenomenon appeared.
As dusk fell, cultivators on Mount Mo retreated were startled and flew out of their caves. They discovered that the west was as bright as day, with stars showering down from the night sky, clearly visible like a celestial river suspended and flowing downwards, rushing towards the ruins of Luohun Pond.
Such an amazing celestial phenomenon must be the work of a great being. People couldn't help but recall what happened a hundred years ago, and their hearts trembled with unease, wondering what changes would occur again.

Gu Yun Shou was in meditation, his brow furrowed slightly. He was startled and rose high into the sky. Looking west, he gazed at the unusual starry sky. After a moment of sensing, he murmured, "It seems Daoist Qingfeng has already completed the grand formation."
As he spoke, the figure of Gu Yun Shou flashed and disappeared westward.
'Boom!'
At this moment, it's as if the starlight from the heavens has been drawn here, illuminating this place alone!
Like tangible starlight descending from the heavens, the Milky Way hangs upside down at the edge of the sky, cascading down from the ninth heaven.
Below this Milky Way lies Qin Sang!
A vast expanse of starlight descended upon the world, and compared to it, Qin Sang's figure was minuscule. Even an entire mountain peak could not withstand the scouring of the Milky Way.
"Shriek!"
Here is the translation of your text:

The Qingluan dharma form faced the Milky Way without fear. It suddenly opened its phoenix wings and soared into the sky.
'Whoosh!'
The Milky Way descended.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The might of the battlefield was truly unleashed, Qin Sang's blood almost solidified, feeling the crisis approaching.
And he did not dodge or evade, completely forgetting himself, suppressing the urge to flinch. From the mountain peak, he launched himself into the air, receiving the Milky Way with his own body!
‘Boom!’
A clap of thunder exploded beside Qin Sang's ear.
In that instant, Qin Sang only felt like being stabbed by countless swords. The familiar pain surged in like a tidal wave.
>
Qin Sang was already accustomed to it. Even though the pain of this Star Yuan infusion far surpassed previous times, he remained unmoved. He allowed the starlight to tear him apart while simultaneously tempering his physique.
“Huh”
At this moment, Qin Sang suddenly realized that this star power infusion was extraordinary.
Not only was his true form, the Azure Crane Dharma Aspect bathed in starlight, but it was also undergoing refinement.
And...
'Whoosh!'
Qin Sang and Qingluan moved in unison, suddenly raising their heads to stare at a certain point in the night sky.
There were no stars there, yet he faintly felt that in the void, a dark star seemed to resonate with the Qingluan Dharma form.
