Chapter 64: The Sixth Layer

the silver light, indicating that the two individuals had not yet caught up to Yan Wu.Seeing this, Yun Youzi put away the Lingzhu Feizhou.Qin Sang was in front, while Yun Youzi lagged slightly behind,...Even with a warm sunstone on them, the chilling cold could not be stopped here.

According to Senior Brother Liang Yan, when he first obtained the Hades Banner, the King of Hell's strength was only equivalent to that of a Qi Refining cultivator at the first level. He only needed to absorb Yin Qi from the top layer of the Yin Sha Abyss. As the King of Hell's strength gradually increased, he would slowly delve deeper.

Even if Shi Guan cast his vision-enhancing technique here, his field of view was still limited. Qin Sang could only see a fellow disciple sitting cross-legged on a cliffside at the edge of Yin Sha Valley, controlling the King of Hell to absorb the sinister Qi.

Every time the King of Hell absorbed a wisp of Yin Sha Qi, that senior brother would collect it into the Yama Banner. His divine consciousness sank into the Yama Banner to suppress the King of Hell, and then after a while, he would repeat the same action.

Others had no jade Buddha to protect them. Whether it was controlling the King of Hell to absorb Yin energy or using soul pills for cultivation, they all had to be careful. Only Qin Sang dared to let loose the King of Hell, continuously using soul pills without restraint.

Finding a secluded spot, Qin Sang activated the Yin-Sha Cauldron to its fullest, plunging into the oppressive aura. After venturing deep within, he retrieved the Yama Banner, and could distinctly feel the exhilaration emanating from Yama himself.

Absorbing the energy of Yin Sha was indeed much more efficient than devouring souls. In no time, Yan Wang's power had fully recovered. Qin Sang then ordered Yan Wang to retrieve the soul gathering pills, accumulating a month's worth before waiting for several hours in place. Finally, he set up the protective amulet and returned to his cave abode.

From then on, Qin Sang's life became very regular. He would go to Yue Shishu once a month at the end of the month to ask for advice, conveniently taking a Soul Pill from Yin Sha淵, and then staying in his cave without coming out. After all, someone brought him food every day.

Due to no interruptions, one can cultivate wholeheartedly. Both techniques and spells can be practiced simultaneously.

In less than a year, Qin Sang finally cultivated to the peak of the fifth layer, and felt the bottleneck of the sixth layer. That helpless feeling came back again.

Now that he has received guidance from Senior Brother Yue, he understands that the more anxious he becomes, the worse it will be. Therefore, he spends only three to four hours each day practicing his cultivation techniques. The rest of the time is dedicated to studying incantations and the Song Family sword techniques.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. Qin Sang was quite proficient in Yun Dun and Wanli Bingfeng. Although he hadn't yet reached the point where he could freely manipulate distance with his techniques, it was enough to fend off enemies.

Nowadays, even without the talisman of avoiding calamities, Qin Sang can use the art of cloud escape to perform magical arts, soaring in the air for a period of time. However, the most important aspect of the art of cloud escape is still the art of concealment. When facing a strong enemy, one can hide within the clouds and mist, be it for hiding or escaping, both have their uses.

For the ten thousand miles of ice, Qin Sang valued most not the area or solidity of the ice formed, but focused on training in its usage techniques. He could condense ice into swords and knives, even transforming it into icy needles as hidden weapons, and creating traps.

This spell's condensed frost is exceptionally solid. If the timing is right, it will undoubtedly produce a surprising effect in combat.

The Song family's swordsmanship progresses the slowest. After so long of nurturing, they still haven't mastered the Ebony Sword.

Today is once again the day when Uncle Yue gives a lecture. Qin Sang stops cultivating, walks out of his cave dwelling, and happens to run into Tan Jie coming out.

Of the original seven who entered together, only four remain: Qin Sang, the Tan Jie brothers, and Shi Rui.

One of the disciples died in his cave dwelling from being struck back by the King of Hell. The other two entered the Yin Sha Abyss and never came out again, their cause of death is easily imagined.

Qin Sang secretly sighed, no wonder when he first entered the sect, his senior brothers and sisters saw someone being backlashed by Yama would be so indifferent, because they had seen too much of this kind of thing.

Over the past year, Qin Sang had personally witnessed several instances of backlash. Countless disciples had died mysteriously in Yin Sha淵. Out of this batch of new disciples, it was quite rare that more than half were still alive.

Later, some batches of junior brothers and sisters who joined later were completely wiped out.

Although the entire Quiyin Sect boasts over a thousand disciples, in reality, only three or four hundred attend Master Shi's lectures whenever he opens an altar. This is even with a steady stream of new disciples entering the sect.

Seeing only Tan Jie come out, Qin Sang knew Tan Hao was cultivating in seclusion again.

After entering the sect, Qin Sang had only met Tan Hao twice. Tan Hao had never gone to listen to Yue Shi Shu's teachings. Every time, only Tan Jie went alone. Tan Jie said that his elder brother was obsessed with cultivating and did not want to waste time. Any questions were asked by him on behalf of his elder brother.

Now Qin Sang and Tan Jie are good friends, but he is still very unfamiliar with Tan Hao.

Passing by Shi Jian's cave dwelling, Tan Jie glanced at it and whispered softly, "Brother Qin, is Master Shi Jian still in seclusion"

Qin Sang nodded, "I've been in seclusion for two whole months now. I estimate that this time when I emerge, I'll be able to break through to the sixth level."

Shi Jian was the most gifted among them, and like Tan Hao, he was a cultivation fanatic. Two months ago, he felt the opportunity for a breakthrough and has been in seclusion ever since.

Tan Jie envied, "If Shijie could break through to the sixth layer within six months, she would get a top-grade magic weapon reward. Qin Ge, you should break through soon too!"

Qin Sang wryly smiled and said, "Where is it so easy You know my aptitude. I don't even have a clue right now. You will definitely be faster than me."

Actually, he had felt the bottleneck loosening three months ago. If he closed himself off for a period of cultivation, breaking through to the sixth level wouldn't be difficult, but he still held back.

As the two chatted about their cultivation experiences, they walked towards Yue Shishu's cave dwelling.

This time, Qin Sang focused on asking about the cultivation of spells. Uncle Yue generously shared his knowledge, explaining in great detail which benefited Qin Sang immensely.

Just as the lecture was about to end, a streak of red light suddenly shot through the air with a loud noise. Qin Sang turned his head and saw that it was Shi Jian, his senior sister.

Before Shi Jing entered, there was a red silk magic artifact wrapped around his body, condensing into escape light, and his speed was extremely astonishing.

Shi Jian's spiritual energy fluctuations were obviously much deeper than before. Qin Sang's heart moved, he stepped aside and bowed, "Congratulations to Senior Sister for breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining!"

Even though Shi Jing's personality was calm, his eyes couldn't hide his excitement. He nodded at Qin Sang, then said to Yue Shishu: "Shi Jing greets Uncle Yue."

Uncle Yue looked carefully at Shi Jing's cultivation level, then smiled and said, "Good! Good! Good! As expected of a dual spiritual root, all of you go down first. Shi Jing, come with me."

Not until dusk did Qin Sang hear the sound of Shi Zhuang's escape, and as he emerged from his cave dwelling, he happened to see Tan Jie pushing open his own door. The two looked at each other and smiled, then knocked on Shi Zhuang's cave dwelling door.

Although they didn't interact much on a daily basis, they were closer to each other than other fellow disciples because they had entered the sect together. Qin Sang and Tan Jie would inquire about anything, and Shi Jing would always explain it wholeheartedly.

It turned out that the top-grade magic weapon promised by the sect was not given during the breakthrough, but after the agreed time, it was distributed to all disciples who met the requirements together.

During this time, Shi Jing still had to practice diligently in her cave abode. Master Yue gave her the latter half of the cultivation technique and carefully instructed and encouraged her. She was not assigned any other tasks.t in the future.And Qin Sang is very confident about the future of the Tianmu Butterfly.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!The Lightning God Technique is extremely rare...
