Inquiry about immortality

The golden blade of light slashed through the void, like three full moons.

In the current situation, there is almost no hope of survival for Jin Geng, but this also makes him throw away all his worries, give his all, burn himself out, and shine with the most brilliant light of his life!
Three ethereal golden deities stood tall, their golden blades dazzling, their edges aimed directly at Qin Sang.

Jin Geng's true form has been merged into the body of some illusory golden god, or perhaps all three. If Qin Sang wants to kill Jin Geng, she must first destroy the illusory golden god.

‘Crack! ’

The blade's edge pierced the earth, its sound like thunder.

Three ravines, each over a thousand miles long, suddenly appeared on the ground. The ravines were bottomless and smooth as mirrors on both sides. Wherever they passed, mountains and valleys were easily cut open as if they were tofu. Only when the blade disappeared beyond the battlefield did rocks roll down and dust rise.

In mid-air, Qin Sang was also cleaved into several pieces by the blade's edge, her body separated, her expression blank.

At this moment, all the Void Gold Gods looked up and saw a sea of ​​stars in the sky, with starlight approaching.

Their expressions suddenly turned ferocious, and the three illusory golden gods were all identical, making it impossible to tell which one was the real one. They sheathed their swords, turned around, reversed the blades, and slashed open their chests. Golden liquid gushed out of their chest cavities, just like the blood of the illusory golden gods.

Strangely, the golden liquid emitted a strong bloody smell, clearly indicating that it was essence blood, Jin Geng's essence blood!

‘Wow! ’

The golden liquid flowed to the feet of the Void Gold God, quickly spreading across the ground, merging with each other, and turning the earth golden.

As expected, the starry sky appeared, and in an instant, the three illusory golden deities fell into the boundless sea of ​​stars.

Qin Sang knew that Jin Geng was determined to die and wanted to perish together with him, so he would definitely not fight him head-on. Using the sword formation was the safest option. But he was surprised to find that when the Void Gold God fell into the sword formation, a large area of ​​land was also brought in. The ground was shimmering with golden light, like a golden continent forged from refined gold.

Three ethereal golden deities stood tall on the golden continent, glaring angrily at the stars in the sky. They seemed like gods who carried the earth on their backs and were about to conquer the heavens, a stark contrast to the feeling of others who were helpless and alone after falling into the sword formation.

Jin Geng is indeed quite capable; Qin Sang was most wary of him and the Eastern Flood Dragon King.

Even the Eastern Dragon King might be slightly inferior to him!

Qin Sangmo used his sword technique, causing the stars to tremble. The four star fields simultaneously emitted dazzling starlight, converging into the Four Spirit Stars, which rushed towards the Golden Continent.

'Boom! '

The Void Gold God stood firmly on the ground, deeply rooted in the Golden Continent, his aura surging as he faced the Four Spirit Stars!

"Roar!"

The roars of dragons and tigers, the howls of beasts, shook the heavens as the Four Divine Stars converged from all directions. Three illusory golden deities, backed by their companions and with their blades pointed outwards, launched the first attack.

The Golden Continent instantly transformed into a battlefield for seven ferocious beasts. These creatures were enormous, and every move they made possessed overwhelming power. The Void Gold God's blade techniques were incredibly powerful, while the Four Star Fiends' essence was sword intent. What appeared to be hand-to-hand combat was actually a clash of swords and blades.

In an instant, chaos erupted on the battlefield, with blades and sword intent clashing everywhere as the most intense battles unfolded.

Facing the Four Divine Spirits formed by the sword formation, the Void Gold Divine Man remained exceptionally powerful, far more difficult to deal with than Qin Sang had anticipated. Qin Sang shifted her gaze downwards and noticed that the Void Gold Divine Man's feet had never left the ground from beginning to end, and immediately understood what was happening.

According to the Five Elements theory, Earth generates Metal, and the Golden Continent is Metal within Earth. Although the Void Gold God was dragged into the sword formation, he was able to continuously draw upon the power of the earth's veins through the Golden Continent beneath his feet.

It's unclear what kind of supernatural power Jin Geng used, but his connection with the earth wasn't severed by the sword formation!
Qin Sang couldn't help but secretly applaud. Although this supernatural power came at the cost of consuming Jin Geng's essence and blood, it was truly extraordinary. It even helped Qin Sang discover a flaw in the Four Symbols Nine Luminaries Sword Formation that she had not noticed before!

As long as Qin Sang wears down Jin Geng until his life essence is exhausted, his victory is a foregone conclusion. However, he does not want to do so and intends to give Jin Geng some respect.

As this thought flashed through his mind, his sword technique changed accordingly. The Four Spirit Stars suddenly broke away from the battlefield, merged together, and plunged into the sea of ​​stars. The four spirits became one, transforming into a beam of sword light!
'Shuh! '

Faced with this sword light, the three Void Gold Gods huddled together, raising their swords to meet the attack.

Unexpectedly, the sword light suddenly split into countless forms, and in an instant, sword light rained down, covering the entire land. The target was not the Void Gold God, but the golden continent beneath their feet.

Jin Geng immediately realized that Qin Sang had seen through the key to his supernatural power, but he was helpless and could only manipulate the Void Golden God to run around in all directions to stop the sword light.

'boom! boom! boom! ’

The flashes of blades and swords were incessant.

One sword beam after another was shattered by the Void Gold God, but there were countless sword beams in the sky, and it was impossible to block them all. Eventually, some sword beams would pierce the Golden Continent. With a deafening roar, the Golden Continent trembled violently. Even though it was as hard as refined gold, it was quickly riddled with craters, and its edges began to collapse.

Jin Geng knew that once the Golden Continent was destroyed, he would have no chance of winning. The golden liquid from the chests of the three illusory golden gods gushed out like a madman, splashing onto the land.

The Golden Continent constantly undergoes cycles of destruction and repair. In this process, Qin Sang continuously changes his sword techniques and sword formations.

Before anyone knew it, the sun, moon, and five planets appeared, their starlight flickering. But it was clear that as Qin Sang and Jin Geng fought, the starlight of the sun, moon, and five planets was becoming increasingly clear.

Many cultivators grow stronger through battle, and the best opponent is one of equal strength. Qin Sang has only just comprehended the Seven Luminaries, with only Mercury considered complete, leaving much room for improvement. His battle with Jin Geng was comparable to years of comprehension in his cave.

At this moment, Jin Geng also saw through Qin Sang's attempt to use him for sword practice. Filled with resentment, the Void Golden God roared, and the golden continent beneath his feet shone brightly as it crashed into the sea of ​​stars.

……

After a fierce battle, the situation became even more intense. The Golden Continent shattered one sword star after another, but it seemed pale and powerless in the vast and boundless sea of ​​stars.

The longer the battle went on, the more Jin Geng felt his hopes were fading. Suddenly, the three Void Golden Gods roared to the sky, as if venting something, their voices filled with determination.

Outside the battlefield, Yue Ling Shuang silently watched the battle. Suddenly, her expression changed slightly. A golden light tore through the dark starry sky, causing a tremendous explosion.

Immediately afterwards, the Five Elements Divine Light appeared, resisting the golden light. A moment later, Qin Sang flashed out, took Xiao Wu by the hand, and flew away from the battlefield.

Yue Linshuang sighed softly, knowing that Jin Geng's fate was more likely than good.

Qin Sang landed on a mountain, turned around and looked back. He saw that the earth behind him was being swallowed by golden light, forming a golden sea of ​​light that gilded the entire Wuji Academy with a layer of golden radiance.

This was Jin Geng's desperate divine power. He had tried his best to harm Qin Sang, but ultimately failed. The golden sea of ​​light exuded a terrifying aura of destruction, seemingly still harboring Jin Geng's resentment, which lingered for a long time, but it could no longer harm Qin Sang in the slightest.

Having confirmed that Jin Geng was dead, Qin Sang turned her head and looked at Yue Linshuang across the distance.

Qin Sangfei flew to Yue Linshuang's side.

Yue Ling Shuang did not dodge and said, "Before Jin Geng died, he was still cursing me for being a coward, not daring to die with him and you."

"Even with you in the mix, the outcome won't change," Qin Sang said confidently.

“I know, so I won’t be as stupid as him, and I want to live.”

Yue Lingshuang revealed a sweet smile, as if Qin Sang opposite her was not an enemy, "You should agree to my previous suggestion, right?"

Just now, when Qin Sang entered the spiritual mist, Yue Ling Shuang knew that they had no chance of winning, and secretly sent a telepathic message to him, begging for mercy behind the backs of Nan Yun Wang and Jin Geng.

Qin Sang did not respond at the time, and still remains noncommittal now. She looked around, her gaze sweeping over the ravaged Wuji Academy, before finally settling on Yue Lingshuang. "I am very curious, how did you forge your national treasure?"

Speaking of the national protective artifact, Yue Lingshuang felt a surge of resentment. If the national protective artifact had not been suppressed, they would never have suffered such a crushing defeat.

She was about to speak when she frowned, stared intently into Qin Sang's eyes, and suddenly sighed, "You don't intend to spare my life!"

Qin Sang remained silent.

Yue Ling Shuang looked utterly bewildered, her confidence completely gone. "Why? Although I schemed against you, I have no deep-seated hatred for you. You won both of our encounters, and you suffered no losses... I can be your slave, at your beck and call, and let you vent your anger on me as you please. Why can't you tolerate me? Could it be... that I saw something I shouldn't have?"

She paused slightly, then suddenly realized, "It's that sword?"

In their last encounter, Qin Sang would have been certain to die if she had used the Cloud Wandering Sword. It wasn't until she entered the Immortal Abode that Qin Sang was forced to use it.

"It seems that you not only have ties to the Dao Court, but also carry a heavy burden of karma. Why would someone as important as you bother to make things difficult for us frogs in a well?"

Yue Ling Shuang gave a self-deprecating laugh, and asked unwillingly, "Just what is the origin of this sword?"

"This is not something you should know," Qin Sang said calmly.

'Whoosh! '

A flash of sword light stung Yue Ling Shuang's eyes.

Not long after, the sword formation dissipated, and Qin Sang landed gracefully. Then, she leaped up and landed in front of a cliff, saying to the deserted cliff, "There's no need to hide anymore. Unless you leave this place, nothing can escape my notice."

A deep sigh came from within the cliff face.

‘Boom! ’

The cliff was shattered into pieces, with jagged rocks piercing the sky. The true form of Yue Ling Shuang, who was hidden here, could not escape her fate and perished.

Thus, all six half-demon powerhouses perished!

Qin Sang sheathed her sword and stood there. Yunyou then returned to his physical body and primordial spirit, leaving Xiao Wu to help Qin Sang clean up the battlefield.

The first thing to do was not to examine the spoils, but to erase the aura of the Wandering Sword, even though the chances of exposing the Boundless Academy were very small. Afterwards, Qin Sang took all the spoils and returned to the Spirit Mist.

mountain top.

Four national treasures were placed in front of Qin Sang: a Heavenly Fox Token and three Crimson Scale Divine Pillars.

Qin Sang searched through Jin Geng's belongings. Jin Geng was exceptionally resolute, and most of his items were destroyed along with him. Among his belongings, Qin Sang found only a gold bead, which seemed somewhat special. She also found another one among Gui Geng's belongings.

The golden beads were the size of an infant's fist, perfectly round and flawless, with an incredibly hard surface that divine sense could not penetrate. Qin Sang was unsure if these were the protective artifacts of the Great Geng Kingdom, so she tentatively placed them together with the other four items.

In the Five Immortal Kingdoms, each kingdom possesses only a handful of protective artifacts, yet Qin Sang managed to seize six of them in one go.

Qin Sang suspected that the Five Kingdoms had a way to find the scattered national treasures and planned to leave them at Wuji Academy, to retrieve them later if needed.

Knowing she was doomed, Yue Lingshuang didn't give Qin Sang a chance to search her soul. Strangely, when Qin Sang recalled her fight with these six people, she felt that none of them seemed to be cultivators practicing the Mahayana path.

Completely baffled, Qin Sang gently shook her head and searched through the ancient books and jade scrolls they had left behind.

Gui Geng's belongings were the most complete. Qin Sang found a cultivation technique called the "Golden Wheel Heart-Breaking Sutra," which, once mastered, could attack an opponent's primordial spirit and belonged to the Dharma cultivation lineage. Although this sutra had some shortcomings, it was definitely related to Gui Geng's main cultivation technique and was an out-and-out Hinayana method.

As for the other people's belongings, none of them contained their main cultivation techniques.

Qin Sang closed the book, feeling a sense of unease. It seemed that the Five Kingdoms still harbored many secrets.

“However, the Five Kingdoms are probably going to be in chaos this time,” Qin Sang said softly.

The Blood Soul Impermanence of Xingtu Ghost Continent was devoured by the False Immortal Mansion. The Jin Geng siblings of the Great Geng Kingdom, Yue Ling Shuang of the Heavenly Fox Kingdom, and the three kings of Zhu Qian all died here. With so many experts lost, how could the four kingdoms let it go? The Cangwu Kingdom, which is closest to the forbidden area, must also be held responsible. Now all five kingdoms have been dragged into this.

Qin Sang had been waiting for the chaos to arrive, never imagining that he might be the one who started it!

Besides the national treasure, there are other relics.

These people are not only highly skilled, but also hold high positions and are extremely wealthy. After this battle, Qin Sang has become rich overnight. Before he breaks through to the Integration stage, he should no longer have to worry about external things!

He dumped everything into the small cave and left it to Xiao Wu and Xiao Qilin to sort through. If Zhuque were also there, Qin Sang wouldn't be so at ease, because it would definitely have embezzled most of it.

Qin Sang stood up, rolled up the national protective artifacts, and put them all into the Xuan Pool. Then she manipulated the Xuan Pool to find a way out.

He could see every corner of Wuji Academy clearly. Apart from the Yangxing Platform and the Gengchuzhidu Gong Seal, there were no other Daoist treasures here.

It is a dilapidated immortal abode, its spiritual energy depleted. It is no longer a sacred place for cultivation, nor can it be kept by one's side like a small grotto-heaven.

The greatest value of this ruined mansion is its seclusion; it can serve as an escape route, providing refuge should one inadvertently get into trouble in the future.

Qin Sang planned to leave as soon as possible. Firstly, the situation was about to descend into chaos, which would be a good opportunity for the Jiaosheng Kingdom to expand. Secondly, he wanted to take the Gengchu Zhidu Gong Seal to the Zhitan Altar. With the seal and the altar, there was hope of connecting with the Divine Court.

This is the Gengchuzhi Dugong Seal, one of the twenty-four Zhengzhi. Even if Zhang Tianshi dislikes me, he shouldn't turn me away for the sake of the Dugong Seal, right?

With his mind immersed in the mysterious pool, Qin Sang controlled the Wuji Academy, moving deep within the forbidden area. He quickly discovered that the Wuji Academy seemed to be subject to some kind of restriction, and its range of activities was actually very limited. Even if he became the 'Master of the Wuji Academy,' he would not be able to escape this range.

Perhaps this is why Wuji Academy has been able to remain hidden for so long without ever being exposed.

Qin Sang made various attempts and even went out to investigate personally, but ultimately received bad news: the area where the Wuji Academy was operating was precisely enveloped by the power of the fake immortal mansion! (End of Chapter)
