Chapter 1709: Gathering the World
eaken, space to become unstable, and thus revealing themselves during the tide. These are undiscovered secret realms and ancient sites filled with ancient immortal legacies and countless treasures.Qin...Seven Western States.
Zhenzhou.
This state borders the western desert, but its boundary is a thousand mountains and valleys, blocking sandstorms from encroaching.
The mountains were verdant and lush, with an abundance of spiritual energy. This stark contrast to the vast expanse of yellow sand was striking. In this area, almost every mountain had a cave dwelling.

Here, there are countless large and small schools of practice and hermits, known as "a thousand mountains, a thousand schools."

Xuancefu is one of the sects.
Although this lineage is not a single-line transmission, the entire clan has only over thirty members. When accepting disciples, they follow the principle of quality over quantity, and all disciples are carefully selected.
Though not as grand as the renowned sects, Xuance Mansion held a certain fame. Its master, Ming Ce, enjoyed considerable prestige in the surrounding areas.
Under the waterfall.
At Shanting.
Master Mingce felt the intense gaze of the Taoist priest before him, his brow furrowed tightly. "From where did Daochang learn that our sect possesses the immortal stone orchid"
Three hundred years ago, a Dendrobium longicornu was discovered in an oasis in the Western Desert, causing a scramble for its possession, but it eventually vanished without a trace. Coincidentally, I discovered that my fellow Taoist was near the oasis at the time and happened to appear in a nearby market...
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The man across the way calmly laid out the situation, frankly admitting that he had investigated the movements of Ming Ce's master.
The Daoist was Qin Sang in disguise!
The moon guard, dispersed within the cultivation world, has gathered intel on all sorts of treasures. It's time to reel them in.
Longsheng Stone Orchid is one of them, which can be refined into a kind of elixir in the "Panhu Zhenjing", enhancing the cultivation of Tianmu Butterfly. However, this kind of spiritual medicine is also very beneficial to cultivators. It will be difficult to persuade Mingce to speak up.
Under the moon's glow, Ming Yue Wei darted back and forth, gathering most of the treasures on the list. The rest either had no news or were difficult to obtain, leaving only Qin Sang to personally take action.
“The Longevity Stone Orchid is very useful to this poor Taoist. As long as the friend is willing to part with it, this poor Taoist will do his best to satisfy the friend.”
The embodiment's tone carried a powerful confidence.
Great confidence comes from great strength!
Regardless of whether Qin Sang himself appears or his avatar does, he is already unmatched in the world. Only two Nascent Soul experts can suppress him.
If you include myself, I am no longer as fearful of Nascent Soul cultivators as before.
After only fifty years of rigorous closed-door training, Qin Sang's cultivation level had reached the peak of the late Yuan Ying stage!
Counting the time, it hasn't been a short while since Qin Sang broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage. The Wuxiang Immortal Gate was only opened by Zhu Wu Dao after eighty years of his breakthrough.
It took most of his time to cultivate the Fire Seed Golden Lotus, but he truly began cultivating seventy years ago, after refining the demonic fire.
It was completed in just seventy years, and for the first twenty years it was often diverted for other matters!
To have such astonishing cultivation speed even in the late Nascent Soul stage is extremely rare, even among the renowned sects of Zhongzhou.
The Wuzi Jade Bi Dao Yun and Buddha Bone Relic are invaluable treasures. Even when facing bottlenecks, Qin Sang only needs to patiently contemplate for a period of time before successfully breaking through.
The Sword Cultivating Chapter of the Primordial God empowered his talent with talismans and cleansing pools, coupled with the aid of the Four Saints Gathering Spirit Formation, Qin Sang's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.
Now, Qin Sang still has some apprehension towards the two Nascent Soul experts. However, with his current strength and relying on the Luye Grand Formation, even if Qinghu Saint King breaks their promise and comes to him, he will be able to hold his own against them.
With this confidence, one's incarnation need not hide in the Gamlu Chan Monastery. This appearance is to gather talents from all over the world!
"What a great sense of boldness, Master Daoist!"
Master Mingce gave the incarnation a deep look.
All signs point to a close relationship between Daoist Qingfeng and Ganlu Zen Temple. Qingfeng himself is a great cultivator who has reached the pinnacle of this world, possessing sufficient power to make such a promise.
>
Conversely, the Mingce sage must consider the consequences of angering him.
>
Smile back.
Master Mingce fell silent, letting out a soft sigh. "The Longevity Stone Orchid was intended for my next breakthrough," he said. "Since Daoist Master has taken a liking to it, though I am reluctant to part with it, I would be happy to fulfill your wish..."
Though the other party relented so quickly, Hua Shen did not show any signs of joy, knowing there must be something more to it.
As expected, Master Mingce’s tone shifted, “However, I have a small request…”
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
After a moment's pause, Ming Ce, the eminent master, spoke in a low voice: “If Daoist Master could lend a hand and save my disciple's life, I would immediately offer you a treasure with both hands!”
"Disciple, who has offended such a powerful individual"
"No, my disciple though mischievous, knows when to advance and retreat."
Master Mingce shook his head, pointed towards the mountaintop with his finger, and sent out a divine decree to summon his disciples. He explained in detail to his incarnation, "My disciple Yu Zhensheng, has been brilliant since childhood. I had high hopes for him, expecting him to take over my mantle and revive our sect. My disciple did not disappoint me. Now he is already at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, only one step away from the Nascent Soul realm. Unfortunately, just when he was about to break through, we discovered that in addition to the eight extraordinary meridians common to ordinary people, my disciple had an extra hidden meridian!"
“Hidden pulse”
Taking on a form of amazement, I searched through ancient texts and found records about hidden meridians.
Having a hidden meridian can also be seen as a kind of special physique. Some are easy to open, while others may never be discovered even in death. Whether it is good or bad depends on the location of the hidden meridian.
Some hidden meridians not only have no drawbacks, but after being opened, they can bring special talents to cultivators. Practicing certain specific techniques can be twice as effective with half the effort.
Hearing what Mingce had to say, Yu Zhensheng should not be on this list.
“After examining countless books, this old master has found that the disciple’s hidden meridian is harmless. For ordinary people, one could forcefully open the hidden meridian, and more than 90% would gain opportunities envied by others. However, our sect's unique cultivation method is special. If you forcefully open the meridian, if you are not careful, it might endanger the disciple's life. The higher the realm, the more dangerous it becomes. If we leave it alone, the disciple's potential will be restricted by the hidden meridian…”
Ming Ce Shangren explained everything in detail.
At this moment, a man dashed down from the mountain peak and stood beside the stone pavilion. He was as graceful as a jade tree in the wind.
Guided by his master, Yu Zhensheng bowed deeply in a grand display of reverence.
"Hearing your tone, Daoist friend, you've already found a solution" The avatar released its senses.
Yu Zhensheng's body trembled slightly, he desperately controlled his instincts, letting his avatar explore, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
“I acquired a secret technique for Pulse-Rending, capable of protecting my young disciple. However, this technique requires someone to support it. In times of crisis, it consumes the protector's vital energy to defend the disciple. The protector should ideally be at the late stage of Nascent Soul. If I were to do it myself, the success rate would only be 50%...”
Mingce Shangren glanced at the incarnation.
He had planned to do it himself.
It's not that I don't want to invite the great cultivators, but I can't offer them anything enticing.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
The consumption of primordial qi will inevitably require a long period of meditation to replenish it, and time is precious for great cultivators who aim for the Nascent Soul stage. If the meridian-breaking cultivation fails, Yu Zhensheng will perish, and those who protect him will also be implicated.
Who would risk their life to save a stranger
"To come for the pulse reading technique, to transform into a seer, he pondered for a moment and readily agreed, 'Let the disciple follow the technique to adjust their own body. Wait until I finish my other business, then I will come to protect them! Dao friend, prepare the immortal stone orchid!'"
Having said that, he transformed into a towering figure and rose to his feet, bowing slightly before gracefully descending the mountain.
"Master, he..."
As this concerned his life and death, Yu Zhensheng was anxious and troubled. Seeing the other party only leave a single sentence, he couldn't help but worry.
Master Mingce stood at the edge of the stone pavilion, watching his avatar leave. He said with a relieved expression, "Don't worry, my disciple. Daoist Qingfeng is a truly remarkable person and will definitely keep his word!"
The central plains of Ningzhou.
The Gate of Yin Flames.
After leaving Xuance Manor, he appeared again before the mountain gate of Yin Yan Men.
As the figure appeared, Yin Yan Gate immediately flung wide its mountain gate. Disciples lined up in two rows, expressions solemn and reverent as they welcomed the incarnation with utmost ceremony.
Then, the head of the Yin Yan Sect led several elders out to greet them.
“Master Qinfeng’s distinguished presence illuminates the humble abode, bringing brilliance to all…”
After some pleasantries, the transformed being was ushered into the main hall.
The Yin Yan Gate offers up fragrant tea and fairy brew.
The headmaster of the Yin Yan Gate was a white-haired old man, very smooth-talking. Every sentence was laced with compliments, but he never asked about the purpose of the avatar's visit.
Every time I tried to speak, the other person would cut me off.
"Is the Yan Zhenbao gold from your clan still in your possession"
Instead of playing games, I'd rather just ask directly.
Yan Zhenbao is one of the essential spirit materials for the Ice Fire Decree.
The master of Yin Yan Gate's eyes flickered, he twirled his white beard, and said with difficulty: "This... I had already informed Daoist Qingfeng last time, this item was originally intended as a gift for Elder Fan Changlao of Tianhao Tower, to celebrate his thousandth birthday. It can't possibly..."

The Yin Yan Gate, attached to the Heavenly Profound Tower, fears not transforming into a form to suppress others.
Before he could finish, a firelight suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.
The flames flickered red with hints of bluish-black, revealing four screens inside. The patterns on the screens were simple, each featuring a central ball of fire that seemed to burn perpetually.
The headmaster of Yin Yan Sect almost ripped off his beard, staring in disbelief. "This is..."
Here is the translation:

“I hear that fellow Daoist has always wanted to refine the Fire Cloud Smoke Screen. Looking at the quality of this treasure, does it meet your requirements”
As the avatar's palm trembled slightly, the miniature screen fluttered towards Yin Yanmen Master.
Fire cloud smoke screens are a special treasure. Their rank is not determined by the screen itself, but by the four wisps of spiritual fire that are refined into it.
In an attempt to please his heart's desire, the embodiment sought the method for refining the Huoyunyan screen. Mingyuewei, guided by destiny, informed Luye. The main deity himself took action and personally refined it. The screen didn't contain the Nine Nether Demon Fire, but instead held the ancestral holy fire separated from the Fire Lotus, which left the Yin Flame Sect Master speechless with awe.
An incense stick later.
The Master of the Yin Flame Sect smiled broadly as he sent his avatar out of the mountain gate, feeling a touch of reluctance.
The sky is overcast.
The undulating mountains on the ground seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gray gauze.
A vague, ash-grey haze permeated the sky and earth. Everything in sight, rocks included, was grey; there wasn't a trace of green. It seemed as if life itself had vanished from this place.
“Ahead lies the core area of the Huishan Forbidden Zone. Daoist Priest, if you can venture deep into the zone and find your master's remains, I only ask for one jade slip. The rest will belong to you, and I will have my disciple immediately deliver the Rootless Stone!”
>
Two figures flew leisurely. The one speaking was a young man in black, deliberately lagging half a body length behind, his manner restrained.
Another person was none other than the incarnation, his eyes sharp and focused, looking deep into the desolate area of Huishan.
Rootless Stone is a kind of auxiliary material for the Ice Fire Order, but the true goal of incarnation is not Rootless Stone, but an item from the relics of the young master.
The young man in black was no ordinary person. His master, the Ghostly Dharma, had a notorious reputation and once betrayed the Futian Valley.
They are now at the southernmost part of Xilu Qizhou, bordering Manzhou. This piece of Huashan can be called a forbidden land, which shows how dangerous it is.
To the naked eye, a gray haze obscured the distance, hiding what lay beyond.
It is rumored that this secluded land is inhabited by countless ferocious monsters. Numerous Nascent Soul ancestors have perished here. Finding a skeleton here is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The two of them did not linger, after a brief consultation, they strode straight into the forbidden area.

He transformed, raising his hand to summon the Three Corpse Death God Banner, and demonic spirits coalesced into shape.
Seeing Su Zinan transformed into a demon soul, the young man in black was dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that the rumors were true. Looking at his transformed form, his eyes couldn't help but reveal fear.
The demonic soul blazed a trail, with gray mist howling along the way. Jumping out were evil creatures transformed from Yin wolves and demons, none of which could withstand a single strike from the demonic soul.
Thus, after slaughtering their way through, the gray air ahead suddenly thinned, and the ferocious evil creatures vanished without a trace.
Upon realizing that the transformation was being manipulated by someone behind the scenes, he knew it had to be the legendary owner of Huishan. Facing such a formidable enemy, he adopted an air of nonchalance, allowing his opponent to come as they pleased.
"Well played!"
Turning cold, he summoned his demonic soul beside him and meticulously searched the desolate region of Huishan. Sure enough, there was no obstacle, and no evil creature dared to appear before them.

Three days later.
The two of them found a cave in a valley somewhere in the Desolate Domain.
In the cave, there was only one skeleton left. The young man in black recognized it as his master, who had been severely injured and died here.
Since the master of Greys Mountain is so well-behaved, Huashan doesn't make things difficult for him. After receiving the relic, he leaves the Greys Mountain Forbidden Zone.
Until his physical form disappeared, a sigh of relief echoed from somewhere in the cavern.

East China Sea.
The Seven Islands of Water Mirror.
There are seven overseas fairy islands, each with a sect. The seven sects are all proficient in the art of refining weapons, and their strengths lie in different areas. Although the seven sects are not powerful individually, they support each other and have a certain momentum, remaining unconstrained by the Qiong Ying Gate.
He went to visit the Seven Islands of Water Reflections not to have someone forge a weapon, but to have the seven factions open their treasure vaults and purchase spiritual materials.
“We, the Seven Sects, have decided. Daoist Master, if you are willing to be a guest elder of Shui Jing Qidi Island, we will gift these two treasures to you, not asking for a single copper coin!” Receiving Qin Sang was Luo Jingmen's Sect Leader from the Seven Sects. Just by his appearance, one could tell he was a shrewd person.

"This…"
He hesitated for a moment.
It wasn't that he wasn't qualified to be a visiting scholar, but the location of Shui Jing Qizhou in the East China Sea posed several inconveniences due to the threat of the Qinghu Shengwang.
This meeting also took place at the outpost of Shui Jing Qidi in Fujiang's sea exit.
"Master Dao, please don't worry. We won't make you face strong enemies. We just want you to speak on our behalf at the Three Sects Alliance and plead for some conveniences," Luo Jingmen's Sect Master explained repeatedly.

"Could the Shui Jing Seven Islands be joining the Three Teachings Alliance"
Turning into an unexpected form, after a moment's thought, I nodded in agreement.
The so-called Sanjiao Alliance was a pact jointly forged thirty years ago by Ganlu Zen Temple, Baxingguan, and Tianhao Tower. Once it became public, it caused a huge stir in the cultivation world.
No one would have thought that even the Dao, Buddha, and demons, who are considered to be beyond compare, could set aside their prejudices and come together.
Three major factions unite, the cultivation world is in turmoil!
The name "San Jiao Meng" (Three Teachings Alliance) was actually given by outsiders, and it fit quite well, so people started calling it that.
It's clear to everyone that the mastermind behind this is Holy One Hui Guang, but no one knows why. Holy One Hui Guang only appeared once thirty years ago on the day of the alliance, and has been in seclusion ever since.
Although the Xie family joined the Three Teachings Alliance, Qin Sang focused his heart on cultivation and didn't care much about the details of the alliance agreement.
Being credited with slaying demons, he can certainly speak a few words of praise for the Seven Islands of Water Mirror.
As the avatar travels far and wide, treasures fall into his hands one by one, and spiritual materials gradually become complete.
The deity sat steadily in Luye, and should have resumed practicing the Heavenly Demon Refining Form.
To his surprise, when he sensed the absence of demonic marks within his body, Qin Sang felt a strange kind of agitation.
