Chapter 693: Second Transformation
nor any trace of birds or beasts. The stones and soil are an eerie black, and from the fissures in the ground, a constant stream of black smoke emanates, corrupting the nearby forests.The moment I ar...“Up ahead is Qiming Island. If everything goes smoothly, after we go around Qiming Island, in two months or so we'll reach Huntian Island!”
Originally, the journey by ship wouldn't have taken this long. Qin Sang took many detours along the way. On his journey, he did indeed see several skirmishes on the shipping route, but he always avoided them beforehand, prioritizing his travel speed.
Of course, he has also encountered attacks from powerful demons. He would kill them if he could, and if not, he would use the Nine Dragons Sky Chariot Talisman to escape.
The reason for stopping here was twofold: Qin Sang was physically and mentally exhausted, planning to rest for a few days. Secondly, after consuming countless spirit medicines, the Tianmu Butterfly finally reached the peak of its first transformation and could undergo metamorphosis!
A flash of light appeared at the dantian, and the Heavenly Eye Butterfly fluttered out its wings, circling Qin Sang before finally landing on his shoulder, conveying a sense of intimacy.

The blue light on the wings of the Tianmu butterfly shone even brighter, and its patterns were more beautiful.
Qin Sang smiled slightly, his palm flipped over, and he took out the Chihuo Liujin.
Catching a whiff of the crimson fire and gold, the Heavenly Eyed Butterfly suddenly flew up and darted to Qin Sang's side. It swirled above the jade bottle, eager to eat.
Since Qin Sang could help the Sky-Eyed Butterfly transform, he wouldn't be stingy. He opened the jade bottle and poured a drop of crimson fire gold into his palm.
The celestial butterfly immediately excitedly swooped down and began to consume it little by little.
The crimson gold shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, being swallowed whole by the Heavenly Eye Butterfly. The Heavenly Eye Butterfly still lingered, unwilling to leave, so Qin Sang had to pour out another drop.
He remembered that year, when the old man fed two fiery jade centipedes a drop of crimson fire gold, both spirit worms began to molt. It seemed that Tianmu butterfly ate far more than them.
It could also be related to themselves.

Before obtaining the Crimson Fire Gold, the Huo Yu Centipede had long reached the peak of its first transformation and was stuck at a bottleneck for many years, so it was easier for it to transform than the Tianmu Butterfly.

After consuming the second drop of Crimson Fire Golden Dew, Tianmu Butterfly also became languid, flapping its wings slowly and landing on Qin Sang's palm. It even nestled against Qin Sang's finger and fell asleep.
Qin Sang held the Tianmu Butterfly for a while, but didn't see any signs of metamorphosis. But he wasn't worried. Taking advantage of the Tianmu Butterfly's slumber, he entered meditation to regulate his breath.

For several days, every day that the mu butterfly woke up, Qin Sang would feed it Chi Huo Liu Jin and supplement it with a few prepared elixirs that helped with metamorphosis.
As the sun set on the third day, the eyes on Tianmu Butterfly's wings suddenly 'opened', shooting out a sky-blue radiance. A hazy blue light enveloped the Tianmu Butterfly.
In the dead of night, starlight glinted off the rippling sea, and the Tianmu butterfly seemed like a sapphire star.
The sky-eyed butterfly sleeps in a light blue cocoon, its wings folded together, forming another cocoon shape.
Qin Sang grinned, a silent smile playing on his lips. He felt a sense of awe as he muttered, "True Fire Molten Gold truly lives up to its reputation as a divine elixir! The Sky-Eyed Butterfly has entered the process of metamorphosis!" He shook the jade bottle, and there was still plenty of True Fire Molten Gold left, enough for the Sky-Eyed Butterfly's third transformation.
He himself was also about to rest, so he put the Heaven-Gazing Butterfly into his dantian, allowing it to transform peacefully. Then, he set off again on his journey.
Two months later.
A desolate expanse of sea, under a clear sky with no sign of a hurricane, would occasionally erupt in towering waves. From within them could be heard the clash of metal and roars of fury.
On closer inspection, one could see that within the center of the waves, there were a dozen or so figures locked in combat. A variety of magical artifacts clashed back and forth, and amidst them were also a few strange-looking insect shadows.
It was clearly a clash between human cultivators and witch cultivators. They immediately started fighting without a word.
The great battle is in full swing.
In the distant horizon, a streak of light suddenly appeared. In no time, the master of this streak of light seemed to discover the battle and abruptly stopped, watching from afar.
The cultivators on the battlefield also noticed this streak of light, and both sides began to hesitate.
They were evenly matched, each with their own hidden agenda. Though the human race was at a disadvantage, they weren't without a trump card. This sudden appearance of someone, if strong enough, could very well change the tide of battle immediately.
Thinking about this, both sides simultaneously drew back their own cultivators and became wary of the mysterious person in the distance.
Unexpectedly, just at that moment, the streak of light flared up again, and this time it was even more imposing, charging straight towards the battlefield. The speed of this person caused both sides of the cultivators to change color in alarm.
“The alchemy refinement stage... No good, it's the human race's helper that has arrived!”
Amongst the cultivators of the Witch Tribe, the leading elder's face paled drastically, "Retreat!"
In contrast, the human cultivators were invigorated, launching a full-scale assault and relentlessly pursuing their enemies. They doggedly harassed the shamanic cultivators, preventing them from escaping easily.

The mysterious person arrived quickly, and the Wuzhu cultivators had no fighting spirit at all. After a chaotic battle, they abandoned several corpses and fled in disarray.
After chasing for a while, they saw that they couldn't catch anymore, so they declared their pursuit abandoned.

"Many thanks, friend, for your timely assistance. My name is Han Cuò. I wonder what your esteemed name might be"
The leader of the human race was a middle-aged man with a square face. His brow held an air of authority, and though he wasn't angry, his presence was imposing. At this moment, however, he wore a friendly smile and bowed to the young man opposite him, saying, "Fellow cultivator, you are so young yet possess such high cultivation. I am impressed!"
This young man is Qin Sang.

He traveled a long distance and finally arrived near Huntian Island. He discovered that Huntian Island was also in chaos. After much deliberation, he decided to first contact the cultivators on Huntian Island and inquire about the situation there.

Just now he saw that the cultivators on the battlefield were not very strong, only a few Jindan early stage masters, and the rest were mostly Qi refining period cultivators. So he appeared and scared away the Wu clan people.
“My name is Qin. Friend Han, your praise is undeserved. My cultivation technique is unique, with the effect of retaining youth, so I appear young,” Qin Sang said calmly.
He did not wear a cloak or mask, but revealed his true face.
In this situation, being secretive can easily raise suspicions. Qin Sang had previously concealed his face to avoid the attention of the Liwu Palace. Now that he was entering the Demon Sea, there was no need for such precautions.
Han was startled but didn't press further, introducing Qin Sang to the others.
Others also lined up to thank Qin Sang, and even proactively divided a portion of the spoils with him. Qin Sang readily accepted them with a smile.
After getting acquainted, Han Cu looked at Qin Sang and said, "Fellow Daoist, you look unfamiliar. You should have just arrived on Huntian Island, right"
"That's right," Qin Sang chuckled wryly, looking around. "I was hunting demons on other islands when there was suddenly chaos on the island. I decided to take a risk and come to Huntian Island, but...it's not peaceful here either."
Han Cu smiled, "Between two clans fighting, where is there peace If Daoist friend wants a peaceful place, it's not difficult, just go to Huntian Island. The island master strictly forbids killing, inside and outside the island are two worlds."

“Oh”
Qin Sang's gaze swept over the crowd, "Since that's the case, why don't you fellow Daoists board the island"
Han Chu said meaningfully, "Where there is risk, there is opportunity. While others fear it, I embrace it. As for them... outside Huntian Island is even more dangerous. Their cultivation bases are too low. Because they were slow, they now dare not even attempt to board the island and can only be forced to remain outside. With your abilities, reaching Huntian Island safely will not be difficult."
