Inquiry about immortality

The Wood God Envoy was initially worried that Dao Ting was no match for the Phoenix Clan, since Dao Ting had suffered heavy losses in the past, and no one knew how much of its strength it had recovered.

Currently, due to the threat of the demonic calamity, most of the forces in the spirit realm are preoccupied with other matters. The Phoenix Clan and the North Sea Dragon Palace have mobilized so many demon saints, they must be nearing their limit.

The Mahayana ancestors of each faction are either guarding the boundary or are ancient beings who have been in seclusion for countless years. It is estimated that each of the two races only has one Heavenly Demon Ancestor keeping an eye on the Great Wind Plains. However, given how the situation has developed to this point, it is uncertain how many Mahayana ancestors will appear when the Ancient Demon Court conflict begins.

Qianzhou's intervention to restrain the Phoenix Clan will surely make them hesitant to act rashly.

However, the fact that Dao Ting and Qian Zhou could join forces is unbelievable to anyone familiar with that period of history, yet it truly happened. This was something the Wood God Envoy hadn't anticipated at all, and the situation suddenly became complicated.

They originally thought the Dao Court only had them as allies, but unexpectedly, they have other powerful allies. In the future, when the two sides cooperate, it will be difficult for them to take the initiative.

Of course, that's a story for later. The immediate problem is that the identities of these powerful allies are giving the Wood God Envoy a major headache.

The Dao Court is not subordinate to the Great Zhou, and even has a grudge against it. Dafeng was originally the Dao Court's homeland, so the Dao Court's participation in the war is quite legitimate. Qianzhou is different from the Dao Court. The Great Zhou was founded by the Jade Emperor and has always been the mortal enemy of the demon race. The Dragon and Phoenix races will probably accuse them of treason.

The Daoist court could not possibly be unaware of the implications, yet they failed to inform the Wood God Envoy of such a momentous event beforehand, greatly angering him.

But things have come to this point, and anger is useless; it's impossible to pursue this matter now. At this critical juncture, we absolutely cannot afford internal strife. Even if we want to condemn the Dao Court, we can only wait until the dust settles on the ancient demon court's conflict.

At that moment, a strong threat came from below.

The azure dragon had already clashed with the divine beast, and the North Sea Dragon Palace's counterattack was extremely fierce and should not be underestimated.

The Wood God sighed inwardly, withdrew his gaze, and focused on the battlefield on his side.

……

A place of nothingness.

The four half-demon lords looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had just been on the verge of despair when suddenly things took a turn for the better, their emotions fluctuating wildly. Even with their strong will, they felt a lingering sense of unease.

"This fluctuation... could it be..."

When Xuanqiu Zhenjun saw the altar standing between heaven and earth, he seemed to have thought of something. Although he had no opportunity to contact Qianzhou, the demon race of Dafengyuan had once sent troops to join the demon army to attack Qianzhou, and they had heard of the Qianzhou Spirit Network.

Unlike the Wood God Envoy, they had no prejudice against reinforcements; the more helpers the Dao Court invited, the better.

Only with sufficient strength can the Dragon and Phoenix clans be completely driven out of the Great Wind Plains!
……

Taiyan Fengwu Forest.

The woman in the phoenix crown gazed at the Kingdom of Jiaosheng, her face dark and gloomy.

The Great Zhou Dynasty's Qianzhou was an old rival of the Phoenix Clan. As soon as Bai Ying'er activated the Spirit Network and the altar, they sensed something was wrong.

The woman in the phoenix crown decisively changed the trajectory of the Heavenly Wind and Flowing Fire, intending to wipe out the Horned Kingdom and the Shadow God Kingdom, but she was still a step too late.

Just as the Heavenly Phoenix Blaze was about to destroy the altar, the altar, which was on the verge of collapse, suddenly shone brightly. It was as if a powerful force was born out of thin air from the center of the altar, supporting the altar once again.

This power, whose origin was unknown, immediately displayed extraordinary divine might. The spiritual threads that made up the altar grew thicker at a visible speed, and the altar continued to expand in all directions and rise higher.

In an instant, the altar that originally could only cover the entire territory of the Kingdom of Horned Life became a towering altar that reached the sky, almost as large as the range of the Spirit Network, and its dazzling spiritual light illuminated the entire territory of the two countries and surrounding countries!
The people of both countries looked up and could only see the base of the altar, with beams of transparent light crisscrossing in the void.

The altar was extremely tall, resembling a towering glazed pagoda, its top reaching straight into the clouds.

The woman in the phoenix crown watched this scene with cold eyes. Without hesitation, she commanded the Heavenly Phoenix Flowing Fire to smash it fiercely into the altar!
As a long-time rival, she was very clear about the capabilities of Qianzhou Spirit Network. Their true form was not in Dafengyuan; this power was transferred from elsewhere.

This kind of teleportation requires a certain basis, like a teleportation array. Both sides need to be equipped with spirit arrays that are interconnected. If the teleportation array on either side is damaged, the teleportation will fail.

It's highly likely that Qianzhou had already laid out plans in Dafeng Plain, constructing another spiritual network. Their previous focus on guarding against the Qingluan Clan disrupted their judgment, causing them to overlook other forces and fail to detect Qianzhou's subtle actions. Now, it's too late for regrets.

However, since the transmission can only be carried out by relying on the spirit network of Dafengyuan, as long as the spirit network of Dafengyuan is destroyed before the spirit network of Qianzhou descends, it can be driven back to Qianzhou without bloodshed.

This is not only a way to break the deadlock, but also an imperative.

Based on her understanding of the Qianzhou Spirit Network, if she didn't take advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold to shatter the Dafengyuan Spirit Network, it would be difficult to stop them later!
From the woman in the phoenix crown's perspective, the current situation is extremely dire.

They will face three powerful adversaries simultaneously: the New Demon Court, the Dao Court, and Qianzhou. The Azure Phoenix Clan should have realized it's a trap by now and is on their way.

This is the last thing they wanted to see, but it has already happened!
Among these formidable enemies, Qianzhou is the most likely to be defeated. We absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch the Spirit Net descend upon Qianzhou!

She glanced at the Heavenly Azure Kingdom and was surprised to find that the Thunder Altar there had suddenly fallen silent. She wondered what the Dao Court was planning. At this moment, she had no time to worry about the Dao Court; the opportunity was fleeting. Her only priority was to defeat the Qianzhou Spirit Network!

The woman in the phoenix crown seemed to share the same anxious feelings as Tianfeng Liuhuo.

The flames of the raging fire resembled phoenixes dancing in the sea of ​​fire, and the raging flames seemed to burn through the sky and the earth.

The skies over both countries were a deep crimson.

The raging wind and fiery flames struck, causing the altar to tremble violently, and the spiritual light emanating from the altar was almost completely engulfed by the crimson fire.

Fortunately, the altar blocked the raging fire; otherwise, the Kingdom of Horned Life and the Kingdom of Shadow God would have been turned into a sea of ​​fire, and countless lives would have been burned to ashes and wiped from the world.

……

Qianzhou Prince's Mansion.

The spirit pivot in front of the old man in the dragon robe trembled incessantly, and its shadow was reflected in the square cauldron.

At this moment, the interior of the square cauldron seemed to be ignited, emitting a crimson flame. The shadow of the spirit pivot was surrounded by the sea of ​​fire and was also trembling violently, unable to maintain its complete form, and seemed to be about to collapse.

This scene is a reflection of the battlefield.

The old man in the dragon robe looked grim, knowing that his opponent wanted to destroy the opposing spirit network.

We must not let the Phoenix Clan have their way, otherwise the connection between the two places will be completely severed, and they will be powerless to compete for that Capital Merit Seal!

However, the Phoenix Clan's offensive was too fierce, not giving him a chance to descend. Now he could only do his best to protect the opposing spirit network and survive this wave of attacks.

Realizing that this situation was entirely caused by Qin Sang, the old man in the dragon robe would not be able to quell his hatred unless he threw him into prison and subjected him to severe torture after the matter was over.

The old man in the dragon robe shot out golden light from his eyes, like two golden swords piercing into the spirit pivot. Golden light flashed within the spirit pivot, revealing golden runes.

In the blink of an eye, the golden runes that Ling Shu evolved numbered in the thousands, and each one was different.

As the golden rune took shape, it shot into the square cauldron. At the same time, on the opposite battlefield, a giant golden rune appeared in the altar.

Under the protection of the altar, the people of both nations were spared, but the altar itself was shaken. The terrible shockwave spread across the land, causing the earth to tremble and triggering an unprecedented earthquake in both nations and the surrounding immortal kingdoms.

Countless mountains collapsed, while countless valleys rose to form mountains, turning the world upside down. Fortunately, the people of the half-demon kingdoms all lived in immortal cities, which were protected by great formations and had altars that helped to block most of the impact. Otherwise, this attack could have swallowed up countless lives. Even so, some immortal cities were destroyed.

The altar acts like a fire-repelling shield, keeping the raging fire out.

However, the good times didn't last long. Tianfeng Liuhuo failed to smash the altar, but it successfully set it on fire, and the eternal flames completely surrounded the altar.

To the naked eye, all that could be seen was a sea of ​​fire, with occasional flashes of light within the flames.

The two sides' supernatural powers clashed head-on. The old man in the dragon robe was far away in Qianzhou and had lost his chance in a hurry. It was extremely difficult for him to resist the Heavenly Phoenix Flowing Fire. The surface of the altar was already covered with cracks, like a piece of porcelain that had been burned and was about to shatter into pieces at any time.

The situation is critical!
The appearance of the golden talisman was like a timely rain after a long drought; streaks of golden light swept across the surface of the altar, repairing its cracks.

However, this can only delay the pace of the altar's collapse; it remains to be seen how long the altar can hold on.

……

Tiancang Kingdom.

Governing the altar.

Qin Sang's expression shifted slightly.

He glanced at his disciple sitting cross-legged beside the altar. He had summoned the dragon veins of the Horned Kingdom and the Shadow God Kingdom to protect Bai Ying'er.

However, Bai Ying'er seemed to be in a normal mood, as if Senior Zhou hadn't had time to take over the Spirit Network.

Sensing the situation on the battlefield, Qin Sang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The reason he only invited Senior Zhou now was that he didn't want Senior Zhou to know the truth too quickly. It would be best if the spiritual networks of the two places were connected, so that Senior Zhou would be immediately restrained by the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint and unable to concentrate. Only in this way could he have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

As long as Senior Zhou still harbors greed for the altar beneath him, he will not give up easily. Moreover, the Phoenix Clan and Qianzhou are inherently enemies, and misunderstandings are not so easily resolved.

At this moment, Senior Zhou indeed clashed with the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint, and it seemed that Senior Zhou's side was at a disadvantage.

That's for the best; Senior Zhou can't worry about himself right now.

Qin Sang had this thought in mind, and immediately suppressed all distracting thoughts. At the same time, she flipped her palm and produced an extra item.

This object exudes an ethereal aura, containing countless variations, like a dream, and is the Dream Seed obtained from the sacred land of the alien race!
Although Qin Sang has not yet reached the critical moment of breaking through his cultivation realm, he can no longer hold back and must use this item.

When powerful beings clash, the situation changes rapidly. Although the current situation is what Qin Sang hoped for, any variable could trigger a chain reaction and lead to an unpredictable direction.

For example, the Azure Phoenix Clan returned ahead of schedule, or the Great Vehicle Ancestor suddenly appeared...

He 'deceived' the half-demon, gaining some understanding, but he had no time to truly comprehend it.

Therefore, he can only attain enlightenment in his dreams!
As Qin Sang's understanding of Dream Seeds deepened, she came to understand why Dream Seeds could help cultivators break through realms.

When a cultivator is breaking through a critical realm, if they have doubts or lack or deviate from the understanding of the Great Dao, there is normally no opportunity to correct them, causing all their previous efforts to go to waste and fail at the last minute, and may even leave behind indelible hidden dangers.

With a dream seed, one can pull a cultivator into a dream at such times, allowing them to enter the dream to comprehend the Dao, correct mistakes, make up for deficiencies, and resolve doubts without affecting their external world.

When a cultivator enters a dream, he spends a long time in the dream, while reality is very short, perhaps only a moment.

Back in the sacred land of the alien race, Qin Sang personally experienced the power of the Dream Path, and the Heavenly Demon Refining Form technique gained tremendous improvement within the dream world.

This kind of treasure is most prudent to use at the critical moment of a breakthrough, but Qin Sang had already made up her mind and did not hesitate to activate her true essence to wrap the dream seed.

In addition, the Dream Seed has another function: it can help conceal the fluctuations on his body when he comprehends the "Purple Star Sword Scripture".

A flash of inspiration.

The dream seed shifted and changed, gradually sinking into Qin Sang's palm.

The next moment, a strange aura emanated from Qin Sang. This aura was elusive and ethereal, reminiscent of a fantastical dream.

A faint light appeared around Qin Sang, a light that seemed colorless yet also multicolored. Under the illumination of this strange light, Qin Sang's facial features seemed to blur, then his head, limbs, and finally his torso.

He was sitting there, yet his aura became faint and elusive, his entire being seemingly transforming into a phantom of light, appearing and disappearing as if existing between two different spaces.

The scenery around Qin Sang became mesmerizing, as if his dream had been reflected into reality.

This is the power of the dream seed!

At this moment, Qin Sang was completely immersed in the dream, but it was completely different from when she was in the forbidden area of ​​the alien race.

That time it was someone else's dream, which he couldn't control. Now Qin Sang is in her own dream, and everything in the dream can change according to his will.

He can make dreams wildly imaginative, or stagnant, or even shut himself off and let the dreams evolve on their own, experiencing his own dreams.

The latter is also the second powerful ability of dreamers. People may dream about unforgettable past experiences, or they may see their obsessions reflected in their dreams. If they are lucky, they may be able to find the flaws in their character.

Qin Sang's goal was to gain enlightenment through dreams. Although he was curious about what he would dream about, he had neither the mood nor the time to roam in his dreams. Upon entering the dream, he found himself in a stone cave.

In the quiet and desolate grotto, the walls were rough, the space was only big enough for one person and one bed, and there wasn't even a stone door. It was completely isolated from the outside world, as if Qin Sang's dream was only this narrow.

Qin Sang assumed the same posture as in reality, calmed her mind, and the text of the "Purple Star Sword Scripture" flowed through her heart.

The scenes of millions of people wholeheartedly following Qin Sang during the ritual to subdue the demon race, along with the various insights she had gained before, all clearly surfaced in Qin Sang's mind.

The hustle and bustle of reality, the battle between Senior Zhou and the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint, the invincible enemies, and her own precarious situation were all far away and completely forgotten by Qin Sang, who focused on comprehending the Mahayana Killing Path!
In reality, Qin Sang remained motionless, still seated cross-legged above the altar, as if asleep. (End of Chapter)
