Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2686 Tai Mu Divine Ship

He wielded his sword to slay the demon, but the demon resided within the Emperor's body.

To slay the demon, Qin Sang must pull out the spirit sword from the treasure cup and slash at Emperor Tianzi!

With a single sword strike, who knows what the outcome will be? Is the Emperor determined to perish together with the Free Heavenly Demon?

Suppressing her shock, Qin Sang mustered her courage and met Emperor Tianzi's gaze, trying to discern something from his eyes.

However, those eyes remained as still as a deep pool, and Qin Sang's arrival failed to move them in the slightest, as if time had frozen over him.

Is he still alive?

This is Qin Sang's biggest question.

Judging from the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction and the Heavenly Demon outside, the battle has obviously not stopped. However, no one knows what is happening inside the Emperor's body. Is he trying his best to suppress the Free Heavenly Demon, so that he cannot sense the changes in the outside world or make any reaction?

Qin Sang is currently facing a major decision.

If we step forward and draw that sword, and successfully slay the demon, or even rescue the Emperor, then everyone will be overjoyed.

Slaying a free-spirited demon would be of immeasurable help to his understanding of the Dao of Slaughter.

The Earthly Demon Palace was destroyed in the early stages of the Heavenly Demons' entry into the Demon Realm. Emperor Tianzi should not have experienced the war between the two realms and should not have any prejudice. If we can establish a good relationship with Emperor Tianzi because of this, not only will the crisis be resolved, but he will also gain a foothold in the Demon Realm and have more confidence to rescue his senior sister in the future.

The question is, with Qin Sang's strength, can he really intervene in the battlefield of Mahayana cultivators? I'm afraid that if he swings his sword, the aftershocks will reduce him to ashes!

Qin Sang subconsciously wanted to get closer to observe, and even climb onto the treasure cup, but was unexpectedly blocked from the outside.

He quickly realized that there was an invisible barrier between the treasure cup and the outside world, and he could not go in and draw the sword on his own; he would need to rely on the power of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction.

This should be the reason why Emperor Tianzi left behind the Demon-Forbidden Legacy and ordered the Immortal Child Di Hong to recognize him as his master.

Next, Qin Sang will comprehend the inheritance within the Yuanzai Order and take control of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction within the Yuanzai Heaven.

Regardless of other factors, controlling the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction is by no means a bad thing; at the very least, it allows one to mobilize the power of the Demon Restriction to slay the demons within the cave.

Qin Sang glanced deeply at Emperor Tianzi, then flew to a nearby immortal mountain, held the Yuanzai Token in her hand, sat cross-legged, and began to seriously study the contents of the inheritance.

Having previously slain those demons, Yuan Zaitian had alleviated the pressure on the Emperor Rainbow Demonic Restriction, preventing him from collapsing for the time being, and time was not so pressing. He first skimmed through it to get a general understanding of the Emperor Rainbow Demonic Restriction's structure and grasp its key points.

This was specially created by the Earthly Demon Palace for the extraterrestrial demons. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the sages of the Earthly Demon Palace throughout the ages. It is ingenious and mysterious. Qin Sang felt greatly inspired after looking at it for a while.

It could easily be called the Imperial Rainbow Demon Array, but it is called the 'Demon Forbidden Zone' because it can change size at will.

It can be used as a secret technique for cultivators to use independently during battles; or it can be used to extract rare and precious materials to condense the demonic restriction into a weapon, just like the Emperor Rainbow Demonic Restriction in Yuanzai Heaven, to set up a grand array that covers an entire world, possessing an unimaginable scale.

Of course, the power of the Imperial Rainbow Demon Restriction will vary.

The most wonderful thing is that comprehending the Emperor Rainbow Demon Forbidden Technique does not require cultivating a specific technique. Qin Sang is not a successor of the Earthly Demon Palace, yet he is still able to cultivate it.

After clarifying some of the details, Qin Sang began to try to condense the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction. He placed his hands on his knees, with his palms facing the sky, and his Dharma Body circulated his true essence. Then, a faint spiritual light shone from the void around him.

The light shifted and changed, displaying a myriad of colors. At first, it was somewhat elusive, but it gradually solidified, yet at the same time, it began to distort.

Finally, the first filament of light was born from the distorted spiritual light, dancing like a snake in front of Qin Sang.

This is the light thread that Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo first saw. It is the manifestation of the power of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction. Now there is only one here, so its power is naturally incomparable to what it was before.

At this moment, in Qin Sang's eyes, the light threads were completely different. In essence, they were composed of countless runes of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction, which absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fill the flesh and blood, thus possessing extraordinary power.

The wisps of light drifted and landed in Qin Sang's palm, then vanished in an instant.

The aura of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Forbidden Zone can be concealed. Like Qin Sang, it can be suddenly revealed when facing an enemy, achieving a surprise effect.

Qin Sang seemed to be staring at the light thread in her hand, observing for a long time, before finally taking the next step.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of light threads appeared around them. These light threads were all different in color and length because the runes that carried them were different.

The Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction contains too many variations. What Qin Sang condensed is only a tiny part of it, and different light threads can continue to combine.

Qin Sang flicked his fingers, arranging these light threads. Some intertwined to form a beam of light, while others crisscrossed and wove into a net. Different combinations of light threads possessed different powers, and once a certain limit was reached, unexpected changes would occur, which were astonishing.

He was like a builder, carefully constructing a tall building using these filaments of light, constantly experimenting and finding endless enjoyment in the process. Perhaps due to the enlightenment he had received from the high monk, things went much more smoothly than expected.

……

Qin Sangyang, the God of War, and Luo Luo, the Demon Lord, who were left behind, were not idle either; they were searching for the entrance to Baohuangtian.

Previously, they had only sensed a wisp of special energy, and they weren't very confident about it, but they wouldn't give up easily. Now, having another path meant having a better chance of survival.

The two sped through the celestial palace complex, exchanging their observations of the appearance of that wisp of energy, and then compared their observations to pinpoint a general area.

"It should be located within this celestial palace..."

Qin Sangyang stopped, gazing at the rows of palaces in front of him, and gestured to define a general area.

There are hundreds of celestial palaces in this area, but they cannot be shrunk any further.

At that time, they could only sense the location of the wisp of energy, but because the energy in Yuanzaitian was too chaotic, their perception was inevitably interfered with, and they could only confirm that it appeared in this area.

“Fellow Daoist’s spiritual sense is more acute than mine, so you should sense it,” Qin Sangyang said proactively. He planned to disrupt the area, firstly to see how many immortal palaces were still intact, and secondly to let Demon Lord Luo Luo focus on finding that wisp of energy.

"it is good!"

The Demon Lord Luo Luo summoned a paper lantern, which hung above his head with its flames dangling down.

Luo Luo Demon Lord unleashed several magic seals into the void, and the lamps around him suddenly dispersed, eventually splitting into countless transparent flames that flew towards the celestial palace and gradually disappeared.

After completing these tasks, Demon Lord Luo Luo nodded slightly to Qin Sangyang.

Qin Sangyang immediately made his move, waving his hand and setting the celestial palace ablaze!

In an instant, flames filled the sky, and the celestial palace was engulfed in flames.

The conjured celestial palaces quickly revealed themselves in the flames, burned through and seemingly reduced to ashes. The real celestial palaces, however, stood firm amidst the inferno, their ancient barriers keeping the fire at bay.

Qin Sangyang quickly scanned the area, memorizing the true celestial palace, preparing to investigate it one by one.

At the same time, another pair of eyes within him were watching the sea of ​​fire, searching for clues. Before leaving, the main body left Tian Li behind as well.

The two people and the butterfly joined forces.

As the fire blazed up, Qin Sangyang was about to intensify the flames when he suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure.

'Splash!'

A sudden storm hit, and torrential rain fell on the area where the fire was burning, quickly extinguishing the flames.

At this moment, Qin Sangyang was on high alert, feeling as if he was being targeted. He watched helplessly as the sea of ​​fire was extinguished, and did not make any rash moves, otherwise he might be attacked from the sky.

It's certain that the one who locked onto him wasn't the Imperial Rainbow Magic Forbidden Zone, nor was it any particular being.

He looked up at the sky and thought to himself, "There really is an ancient formation here, protecting these celestial palaces, which is why these illusions are formed. But there should only be one broken formation left, otherwise those celestial palaces would not have been destroyed."

However, even a remnant formation should not be underestimated; caution is advised going forward.

The fire was extinguished, and the wind and rain stopped.

At this moment, Demon Lord Luo Luo also put away his paper lantern, sighed, and obviously found nothing.

The same applies to Tian Li.

"It seems the only way is to use the most rudimentary method: open up these celestial palaces and search them one by one," Qin Sang said.

The previous torrential rain served as a warning, and they dared not act too recklessly, so they quickly flew towards the nearest celestial palace.

This celestial palace has no magnificent palaces; it is built among the clouds and mountains, which isolate it from other celestial palaces.

Looking inward from the outside, the interior is shrouded in mist, with a few thatched huts vaguely visible. In front of the huts is a large courtyard, but it is impossible to see what is inside.

The entrance to the courtyard is a seemingly ordinary wooden door that appears to be easy to push open, but upon closer inspection, one can discover that the wood grain shimmers with a strange luster.

A quick glance at the surrounding mountains reveals that these clouds have remained for years, clearly indicating the presence of a protective mountain formation.

Qin Sangyang and Luo Luo Demon Lord acted in unison, each using their own methods to test the great formation.

The Demon Lord Luo Luo summoned his domain, and green vines climbed up the outer walls of Yunshan Mountain and the courtyard, constantly searching for something.

Qin Sangyang looked quite relaxed.

At this moment, the Heavenly Eye Butterfly's abilities became apparent, secretly using its Heavenly Eye Divine Power to search for weaknesses in the great formation.

The flaw was quickly found.

The ancient formations protecting the celestial palace complex have all become ruins, countless celestial palaces have been destroyed, and the surviving celestial palaces have also suffered more or less damage. The mountain-protecting formation in front of us has obviously also been destroyed.

"As long as there's a loophole, things will be easier," Qin Sangyang said, stopping the still-exploring Luo Luo Demon Lord. He walked to the cloud mountain on the left side of the courtyard and ordered Tian Li to take action.

When the Void Domain and the Profound Divine Light were used together, a gray mist with a shimmering spiritual light enveloped the two of them and then vanished into thin air.

The next moment, the two appeared inside the courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist's supernatural power is truly..."

Luo Luo Demon Lord was dumbfounded. He didn't know about Tian Li's existence and thought it was Qin Sang's supernatural power.

Having witnessed Qin Sang's teleportation before, directly attacking the demon, and now experiencing it firsthand—easily breaking through the door—I was even more shocked, unsure how to describe it. The thought of fighting such an opponent was terrifying.

However, Qin Sang had given him too much of a shock. Demon Lord Luo Luo quickly calmed down, but he just couldn't understand why there was such a big difference between them, even though they were both at the early stage of Demon Lord!

Luo Luo Demon Lord sighed inwardly as he surveyed the courtyard. Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to something, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Tai Mu Xuan Bamboo!"

Qin Sangyang followed his gaze and saw a giant tree growing in the thickest part of the clouds. It would probably take dozens of people to encircle it. The giant tree had bamboo-like patterns and its texture was like black gold. He went over and knocked on it, and it made a clear, ringing sound.

Such a large spirit bamboo, and there's only one of its kind in the entire courtyard. Judging from the tone of Lord Luo Luo's voice, this spirit bamboo seems to be quite extraordinary.

Luo Luo Demon Lord could not hide his excitement, "Tai Mu Xuan Bamboo is the most important spiritual material for refining Tai Mu Divine Ship. There is such a large Tai Mu Xuan Bamboo in the world... The bamboo leaves have fallen off, and its color is black gold. Its texture is even tougher than Xuan gold. This is a sign that the spiritual bamboo is fully mature!"

The bamboo has forked tips, but not a single leaf is visible. No life can be felt from the bamboo; it has been dead for many years and has become pure spiritual material.

Perhaps it died in that calamity. Such a large Tai Mu Xuan Bamboo may have already developed a spiritual nature. In the end, its soul was scattered, but its powerful "original body" is immortal.

Qin Sang learned from Luo Luo Demon Lord that the Tai Mu Divine Ship was one of the most important magical ships for the demon army to resist the demon tide.

The magic boat is inscribed with countless powerful restrictions, making it quite fast and defensive. Even if it accidentally crashes into a void rift, it will not be easily exposed or disintegrated. It can also shield the senses of the Heavenly Demon to a certain extent, making it an excellent flying tool for cultivators who have achieved the Integration Stage.

"Does fellow Daoist know the method of forging the Tai Mu Divine Boat?" Qin Sang asked eagerly.

Since entering Yuanzai Cave, their luck seems to have turned around, with good news coming one after another. Yuanzai Cave can only be a temporary stop, and if they want to return to the Demon Realm, they still need to cross the Demon Domain.

As long as he has the diagram of the magic boat, he can forge one himself.

"I know a little bit," Demon Lord Luo Luo realized this wasn't the time for modesty and quickly added, "Although I've only seen some diagrams of the divine ships, I spent some time observing a Tai Mu divine ship. Given enough time, I can at least imitate seventy percent of the power of the Tai Mu divine ship. Moreover, as far as I know, the thickest Tai Mu Xuan bamboo used to forge the Tai Mu divine ship was only enough for three to five cultivators to hug. I've never heard of such a huge Tai Mu Xuan bamboo! Using it as material should be able to make up for the defects and forge a real divine ship, perhaps even the largest Tai Mu divine ship in the Holy Realm!"

As he spoke, Demon Lord Luo Luo couldn't help but raise his hand to stroke the spirit bamboo, his eyes sparkling with wonder.

"So you are also skilled in weapon crafting, fellow Daoist!"

Qin Sangyang was overjoyed and said, "There happen to be two master weapon refiners here. If they work together, they will definitely be able to complete the crafting!"

Although the Cloud Wandering Sword could also devour this Tai Mu Xuan Bamboo, refining it into a divine vessel would clearly be more helpful to them.

The two immediately took action, intending to uproot the Tai Mu Xuan Bamboo.

"Hiss, this spirit bamboo is surprisingly heavy," Qin Sang exclaimed. Its texture was like black gold, but a hundred times heavier.

After putting away the Tai Mu Xuan Zhu, the two were quite excited. They had encountered a great treasure as soon as they entered, and they wondered what other surprises awaited them inside.

They eagerly searched the courtyard, where many spiritual flowers and herbs must have been planted in the past, but unfortunately only this Tai Mu Xuan Bamboo has survived. (End of Chapter)
