Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2572 Re-entering the Dream

The Tianmu butterfly really did it!

When Qin Sang saw the changes in the Soul-Devouring Flame, she was overjoyed. Although this didn't mean the Heavenly Eye Butterfly could continuously refine the Qilin's essence, it was undoubtedly a good start.

In an instant, the flames surrounded by the blazing current completely lost their blue color and became a ball of fire with a color almost identical to the blazing current.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Sang felt that the Heavenly Eye Butterfly was able to actively absorb the Blazing Current, and its condition was far better than she had imagined, which dispelled Qin Sang's last bit of concern.

Not only did she no longer need to worry about taking care of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly, but the Heavenly Eye Butterfly could also help her share the burden, which immediately reduced her pressure. Qin Sang was finally able to concentrate on thinking about a solution.

Having endured countless hardships to find the Qilin Origin, and already facing numerous trials along the way, his purpose here was to seek opportunities, not to undergo life-or-death trials. The Vermilion Bird, the Little Qilin, and the Heavenly Eye Butterfly could all benefit from this, effectively enhancing Qin Sang's strength, but he desired even greater transformation for himself.

However, when Qin Sang attempted to refine the Qilin's essence, she discovered it was far more difficult than she had anticipated.

He had previously speculated that since the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" was planted within the primordial spirit, the Qilin Origin might be a power close to the divine soul, but now it seems it's not that simple. Although the Yang Spirit benefits from the refinement of the Qilin Origin by the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus," the Qilin Origin cannot be directly refined and absorbed by the "Taiyi Ling Shu Jing."

The attempt by the Azure Phoenix Dharma Form to refine the Origin of the Qilin also failed.

At this moment, it seems that Qin Sang only has one path left to take—to continue deducing "The Golden Lotus of Fire"!

Is it really possible to conduct a simulated battle?

Although Qin Sang was extremely familiar with the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" and had considerable attainments in spiritual cultivation, the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" was a legacy left behind by the Qilin. Furthermore, and crucially, this secret technique was the Qilin's means of resurrection. Qin Sang, in his subsequent deductions, had to selectively adopt and discard certain elements to deduce a pure spiritual cultivation method, avoiding any deviation from its original intent.

In fact, Qin Sang had had this idea for a long time. Before obtaining the Taiyi Ling Shu Jing, he had not found a very good spiritual cultivation method. In comparison, it was even inferior to the Huozhong Jinlian. If he hadn't chosen to focus on cultivating the Ziwei Sword Jing, and there was the even better body cultivation method, the Tianyao Lianxing, he might have been working on it long ago.

Those immature ideas from before must be turned into reality at this moment!

Just then, Qin Sang suddenly felt an unusual vibration in her spiritual pivot, and was startled.

……

Tiancang Kingdom.

Governing the altar.

Under Qin Sang's orders, Bai Ying'er connected with the Qianzhou Spirit Network and transferred two dragon veins to her side in advance.

The dragon vein transformed into two young dragons with prominent heads and horns, each no more than three feet long, which circled around her. Then they shrank continuously until they became two faint dragon shadows, which then disappeared into Bai Ying'er's body.

At the same time, Bai Ying'er resolutely relinquished control of the Spirit Pivot, an act tantamount to abandoning her Yang Spirit, as the Spirit Pivot was the foundation of her cultivation. In this way, if that Senior Zhou from Qianzhou were to attempt to seize her Spirit Pivot and control the Great Wind Plains Spirit Network, it would be an easy task.

Bai Ying'er has retained only a sliver of her true self, protected by two dragon veins; her life and death are entirely in her master's hands. If Qin Sang can reverse the situation, she can be safe; otherwise, everything is over. Even if Qin Sang manages to take this last bit of her true self with her, her future remains uncertain.

Beside the altar, Bai Ying'er's breathing fluctuated, and the lightning emanating from the altar enveloped her, illuminating her pretty face with her eyes tightly closed.

Her expression was very calm, without fear or anxiety. In fact, she was guarding her inner self and had cut off all perception of the outside world when the Qianzhou Spirit Network descended, so she had no idea what was happening outside.

The territories of the Horned Kingdom and the Shadow God Kingdom, two great immortal kingdoms, have become the battlefield between the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint and the Qianzhou Spirit Network.

Extraordinary and terrifying celestial phenomena have emerged in both countries.

The heavenly fire struck, transforming into a raging inferno over both countries. The vast territory was already engulfed in flames, appearing completely swallowed by the inferno from the air.

No living thing could survive in such a raging fire, but fortunately, the altar protected them.

The cultivators who practice the "Taiyi Lingshu Scripture" and form the Great Wind Origin Spirit Network are scattered throughout the two countries. They are the foundation of the Great Wind Origin Spirit Network's existence. If they perish, the Great Wind Origin Spirit Network will collapse, and the Qianzhou Spirit Network's attempt to descend will fail.

Therefore, the altar must protect them and cannot allow the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint to burn this place to ashes.

The altar stood above the two countries, resisting the heavenly fire. The cultivators of both countries witnessed the scene of the end times: high in the sky, crimson flames stretched to the heavens, sometimes bursting into flames, sometimes raining down flames, and sometimes countless meteors falling.

Any celestial phenomenon could easily destroy both countries, but it was all blocked by the spiritual light emanating from the altar.

Just then, the people of both countries noticed that the fire in the sky was beginning to fade, and it seemed that the calamity was about to pass. However, they quickly realized that they were too optimistic; the heavenly fire had not dissipated, but rather a layer of light mist had appeared above their heads.

As the fog thickened, it formed a dense canopy over both countries, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face within either territory.

From the outside, it was clear that both countries were shrouded in darkness, as if a bottomless hole had appeared in the earth.

The lands of both countries, along with the immortal cities and peoples on those lands, seemed to have been uprooted or sucked into a divine altar, and all of them vanished!

After the two immortal kingdoms disappeared, the altar trembled violently, its spiritual light dissipated, and the altar began to shrink rapidly.

The Qianzhou Spirit Network is, after all, a cross-domain operation, and the true forms of the Phoenix Clan Demon Saints are right here. Even though the old man in the dragon robe invited many helpers, he inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position.

The altar has shrunk, but it has not collapsed and is still able to hold on.

……

Qianzhou.

Wangfu.

A series of crashing sounds rang out in the main hall, followed by an angry snort.

The square cauldron in front of the old man in the dragon robe was shaking violently, and the scene inside the cauldron was also undergoing violent changes.

His tiger-like eyes were filled with murderous intent. He had wanted to make a final, forceful descent, but the Phoenix Clan stopped him, forcing him to adopt a defensive stance and first stabilize the altar.

This was also related to his desire not to alarm the Great Zhou court. He did not mobilize the full power of the Qianzhou Spirit Network, otherwise he would have faced a barrage of criticism, which would have been difficult for someone of his status to handle.

However, this does not mean that we have failed. As long as the altar is not destroyed and the spiritual network on the other side is still there, we can still try to outmaneuver it.

"Where did that kid go?"

The old man in the dragon robe had already realized that the Lord of the Spirit Network opposite him was not Qin Sang.

Due to the failed descent and the suppression of the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint's divine power, the old man in the dragon robe was still unaware of the situation in the Great Wind Plains. He attributed this unfavorable situation entirely to Qin Sang.

"Did you think that I wouldn't be able to find you if you didn't join the Spirit Network?"

The old man in the dragon robe sneered inwardly. That fellow was cunning; he found a scapegoat to be the master of the Spirit Network while he himself remained aloof.

However, the martial arts techniques he imparts are not so easy to obtain.

"I beg you gentlemen to help me cast the Divine Seal Technique!"

The old man in the dragon robe formed a hand seal and murmured something, his voice weak yet extremely clear, conveying the message in some way.

Now, it's impossible to force his way in. What he needs to do next is to use a secret technique to brand him from a distance, at least sending over a 'nail'.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in the dragon robe formed a seal with one hand and pressed it against the mouth of the cauldron.

Suddenly, an identical hand seal appeared in front of the old man in the dragon robe, transmitted from an unknown distance and merging into his palm. Then, one hand seal after another followed and merged into his palm.

‘Boom! ’

The cauldron trembled violently, and the main hall shook.

The old man in the dragon robe, his beard and hair dancing wildly, looked like a madman. He used all his strength to forcefully press the divine seal into the square cauldron.

……

Tiancang Kingdom.

Beside the altar, Bai Ying'er's delicate body trembled, and her face turned deathly pale.

The old man in the dragon robe secretly seized control of the Great Wind Plains Spirit Network. This can be seen as him forcibly taking over Bai Ying'er's spirit core after the divine seal was imprinted. Next, he faced the blockade of the Phoenix Clan's demon saint; judging by the Phoenix Clan's momentum, they were determined to prevent Qianzhou's descent. However, with the change of ownership of the Great Wind Plains Spirit Network, the old man in the dragon robe made a surprising discovery: Qin Sang's spirit core had already been incorporated into the Spirit Network, but not here!

Whether that guy was stupid or arrogant, he clearly guessed that there was a problem with the cultivation technique, found a scapegoat, and still dared to merge it into the Spirit Network.

The old man in the dragon robe muttered something strange to himself. He discovered that Qin Sang was not nearby, and the connection between Qin Sang and the Spirit Network was very vague, almost nonexistent.

It doesn't seem like he was captured by the Phoenix Clan. What on earth is that guy doing?

The old man in the dragon robe sensed something was amiss, but in any case, Qin Sang's spiritual pivot was the only one among all the spiritual pivots that was outside the net, essentially a fish that had slipped through the net.

He was worried about how to break the deadlock, and Qin Sang might be the key to doing so!

When the old man in the dragon robe used a secret technique to forcibly seize Qin Sang's spiritual core through the spiritual network, it was also detected by Qin Sang's Yang God, who was far away in the Qilin Cave Heaven.

……

"We've finally found it!"

Qin Sang deliberately left this 'flaw' for two reasons: first, she believed in the Jade Buddha's power and that she wouldn't be easily 'possessed'; second, it served as a warning, indicating that Senior Zhou already had the resources to search for her.

Whether it was Qianzhou's spiritual network suppressing the Phoenix Clan's demon saint and gaining the upper hand, or Senior Zhou knowing he was no match and wanting to leave something behind, neither was a good omen. Since the start of the chaotic battle, Qin Sang had been taking risks. Fortunately, Qianzhou and the Phoenix Clan were longtime enemies; otherwise, they would have seen through his tricks if they had had any opportunity to communicate.

In any case, it means that my time is running out and I have to make a decision!

"It's finally going to have to be used..."

Qin Sang took out the second dream seed, which was also the last dream seed.

Amidst the fiery currents manifested from the Qilin's origin, the spiritual light emanating from the Dream Seed remained undimmed, as dreamlike and ethereal as ever.

He obtained two Dream Seeds in the sacred land of the Otherworldly race. He kept one for his main body and had his Dharma Avatar carry the other. However, he failed to find the Ancient Demon Court, so his Dharma Avatar did not have the opportunity to refine it. By a twist of fate, the Yang God used it.

These two dream seeds were originally intended for use in breaking through to the next realm, but unexpectedly they were used during the enlightenment process.

Such choices are often the most difficult. Ask yourself honestly, do you really want the present or the future?

For Qin Sang at this moment, he had no choice, because without the present there is no future.

The dream seed melted away.

Qin Sangyang refined the dream seed amidst countless blazing currents, comprehending the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus"!

If we consider Qin Sang's Dharma body and Yang spirit as two separate entities, it is unimaginable for ordinary people that these two entities would enter different dream realms. However, due to the existence of the extraordinary dream seed, this actually happened.

In Yang Shen's dream, the first thing Qin Sang 'dreamed' about was the Qilin inside the Qilin Fire Wall.

He vividly remembers that scene, and to this day he can't tell whether the Qilin was a painting on the Qilin Fire Wall or an illusion. But what is certain is that it possesses all the essence of a Qilin, and to comprehend the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus," one must begin with it.

At this moment, Qin Sang wanted to completely recreate that scene in her dream.

In reality, this is impossible, but he is the master of dreams and is omnipotent in dreams.

Qin Sang returned to that cave. He stood with Zhuque and Xiao Qilin in front of the Qilin Fire Wall. Everything felt incredibly real, even his feelings at that time were exactly the same.

Heavenly fire poured down, and the earth's marrow boiled.

A vast expanse of crimson flames surged, a winding molten river cutting through the sea of ​​fire. The Qilin stood on the molten river, golden and red veins running along its feet, its gaze sweeping across...

With a loud 'boom,' even though he was prepared, Qin Sang still felt his mind shake. He forced himself to widen his eyes and meet the gaze of the Qilin, and the next changes were exactly the same.

The sea of ​​fire froze, the molten river stopped flowing. The floating flames and the flowing molten river became 'paintings' on the Qilin Fire Wall...

However, Qin Sang noticed some details that he had overlooked.

Suddenly, he closed his eyes tightly. Before the Qilin could spew out a torrent of blazing water, the dream came to a standstill. The surrounding scenery shattered like a broken mirror, turning into countless fragments. Then time began to flow backward.

After a brief period of chaos, everything returned to its original state.

Then, that scene repeated itself.

This cycle repeated itself endlessly, countless times. Qin Sang forgot about time, becoming like a statue, facing the Qilin countless times.

In the chaos, he heard the voice of the Vermilion Bird, who laughed wildly and muttered something to himself, seemingly including the words "Li Huo" (meaning "fire").

"Are you talking about the Blazing Qilin?"

As Qin Sang uncovered countless details, another cycle began.

This time was different from usual. When the Fire Qilin's gaze swept over, Qin Sang's eyes narrowed slightly, and she actually took a step forward.

'Shuh! '

The Fire Qilin seemed to be attracted to him, its gaze lingering for a moment before finally settling on him.

'boom! ’

Qin Sang was shocked and died with a 'bang'.

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh…'

Countless fragments flew everywhere, followed by Qin Sang's heavy breathing. As the master of dreams, death in dreams was not true death; he could be resurrected at any time.

The fragments reassembled, and Qin Sang stood before the Qilin Fire Wall once more, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He seemed to have seen something in the gaze of the Blazing Qilin. He didn't know what it was, but it didn't matter; in the dream, he had ample time to comprehend it.

Outside the dream, there was an aura that seemed to have reached a certain limit.

The Vermilion Bird was engulfed in flames, which surged violently like a heartbeat, each beat faster than the last. (End of Chapter)
