His gaze seemed to pierce through the shadow quartz, carrying with it a terrifying madness and ferocity that struck at the observer's very soul, sending shivers down their spine.
This feeling, is truly a real beast!
The image is not fake.
Qin Sang stared at Ying Fei Shi for a long time.

This skeletal bird was unlike any of the ferocious beasts it had encountered, and who knew how many more horrors lurked within the depths of the storm.
The old man, having achieved his goal, respectfully escorted Qin Sang into the cave dwelling. After obtaining consent, he summoned guards to stand before the entrance, awaiting orders.
Then, the old man walked down the mountain, circled around, and silently entered the City Lord's Mansion. He stopped in front of an ancient wooden building by the lake, bowed respectfully, and whispered a few words.
The wooden house was silent and still.
At the sound of his voice, the elder replied, “Yes,” and exited the City Lord's Mansion to continue guarding the city gate.
Inside the cave.
Qin Sang seemed unaware of the elder's actions. He set up a few restrictions and then sat down cross-legged in meditation, running his Zhou Tian.
After washing away the dust of travel, the true energy within him was gradually recovering.
The journey to the Western Desert is long, so it's best to prepare yourself well before setting off.
Three months later.
>
Qin Sang woke up from meditation, feeling refreshed. He played with the Tianmu Butterfly for a while, then remembered to organize the Qianjun Ring.
Although he and Liuli tried their best to save, by the time they set off, most of the spirit stones and elixirs they had prepared were used up. If there was any trading between Nascent Soul cultivators later on, they could only barter goods for goods.
The whereabouts of Buddha's bone relics are still unknown, and he must consider the possibility of facing a trading situation.
Qin Sang possessed many valuable treasures.
Even just two incense sticks of Spirit-Suppressing Incense could make a Yuan Ying cultivator eager to obtain them.
But these treasures cannot be easily sold. Qin Sang sorted them out, and the most suitable ones to trade were Yang Kui Jing and puppets that had been fused with Yin Kui Jing.
To find a cultivator who excels in puppetry is to discover a priceless treasure.
I believe they have a way to separate out the Yin Kui Crystals.
His external avatar had shed its puppet form, unable to fuse with puppet crystals. And with his senior sister not by his side, he had too much to do and couldn't afford to spend the energy learning puppetry from scratch again.
To exchange for conditions and resources that are beneficial to oneself is the most rational choice.
After thinking for a moment.
Qin Sang got up and walked out of the cave.
Inside the Lord's Mansion.
>
A cloaked figure suddenly appeared on the tranquil lake surface, flashing before the wooden hut and gently rapping on the door twice.
Come in.
Inside, a clear and elegant voice emanated.
The man in black straightened his robes, pushed open the door, bowed slightly and said, "Big brother," before eagerly adding, "Someone below sent word that the person has left the customs. It seems they are about to leave the city. This individual came alone, spent lavishly, and must be very wealthy. Big brother, why not send a signal"
The interior furnishings are simple.
A young scholar in green robes sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. Before him stood an incense burner, with one slender incense stick burning, releasing a delicate fragrance.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This person is the master of Baiya Mountain.
The Qing Shan cultivator slowly opened his eyes, his voice calm. "This person dares to travel alone and openly retreat in a foreign land for several months. Younger brother, do you think he would have no support"
The Robed Man let out a chuckle, "Relying on the late stage of Jindan So what With the help of several fellow cultivators nearby and your methods, we might not be able to defeat him."
The Qing Shan cultivator shook his head, “We can maintain a foothold near the Northern Wilderness because of our caution. This kind of trade, in the past one or twenty years might not happen once, otherwise Bai Ya Mountain would have long been infamous. In recent years, due to the changes brought by the storm, the number of people coming and going has increased, and even my elder brother couldn't resist temptation, his actions were indeed more frequent. Younger brother thinks he is being discreet, but in reality, he can't hide from those with ill intent.”
The Black Robed Man was not stupid, and upon hearing this, he hesitated, "Brother Daoist, could it be that you suspect..."
“The ferocious beasts have caused chaos among the cultivators. It's normal for powerful forces to seek a foothold to observe the changes brought by this storm. The fame that Baiya Mountain has gained over the years has become a burden instead. My elder brother has already been preparing to abandon the island and make way for others, and my younger brother should also consider doing so as soon as possible. As for this person, whether he has ulterior motives or not is irrelevant.”
The Qing Shan cultivator paused for a moment, "Let him go."
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, applause erupted from the doorway.
The two people in the room instantly changed color.
"Who!"
The robed man whirled around, a long blade now appearing in his hand.
At a glance, they saw a Taoist priest standing at the door at some point. He had a jade-like face and an ethereal air about him. He smiled and watched them, applauding the blue-clothed cultivator's judgment.
The robed figure sent shivers down his spine. This person had most likely snuck in with him, and they hadn't even noticed.
"Whoosh!"
>
The hooded man raised his sword to strike, but before the blade could leave its scabbard, he felt a finger fly towards him at incredible speed. Then, darkness engulfed his vision, and he slumped to the ground unconscious.
At this time, the scholar in green just stood up, with an iron bone fan in his palm. Seeing this scene, he was immediately frozen in place, not daring to move.

"As expected of the ruler of a city, I couldn't wait for you to come find me, so I had to come personally."
The person at the door was Qin Sang.
He walked into the room by himself, pulled up a stool and sat down, pointing at a cushion. “Please sit.”
The Qing Shan cultivator's face was ashen, his eyes filled with fear.
He was quite capable, his senses quickly recovering a degree of clarity. He dared not look to see if the robed figure was alive or dead, and with a long bow dipped low to the ground, he said, "Junior Han Ya greets his senior. Junior was blind and unaware, failing to recognize your esteemed presence and showing disrespect. Please forgive my transgression."
"Don't be restrained," Qin Sang said with a pleasant expression, "I just want to ask you a few questions."
"This junior will certainly tell you everything."
The young man in green sighed deeply but did not dare to sit down.
Qin Sang didn't force him, "This humble Taoist is planning to travel to the Northern Wasteland. You should have a map of the Northern Wasteland, right"
The young man in green immediately took out a jade slip and presented it to Qin Sang with both hands.
“This feng shui map was purchased by the junior seventy years ago at Tianbei Lou. The Northern Wasteland has always been chaotic, with various forces constantly changing. Most of the information on this map is no longer credible, but the mountains and rivers remain unchanged...”
Qin Sang probed his divine consciousness into the jade slip.
The area meticulously depicted on the feng shui map is actually limited to a portion of the eastern side of Beihua. Large swathes of other regions remain blank.
However, through the feng shui map, Qin Sang formed a preliminary impression of Zhongzhou.
Zhongzhou and Beichen Jing are a bit alike.
The cultivation world has a complete continent, unlike the fragmented Three Realms of the North Sea.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However, Zhongzhou is vast, far exceeding the territory of Beichen.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
According to the descriptions on the feng shui map, Beihua is larger than the combined area of the three realms of Beihai. However, most of it consists of barren lands unsuitable for even mortals or cultivators to inhabit, making it the most impoverished and chaotic region in Zhongzhou.
The most prosperous region in Zhongzhou is undoubtedly the Nineteen States of Smoke and Rain in the south of Beihuang, known for gathering the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. Sects are numerous here, especially the Buddhist and Taoist schools, which are most thriving.
Due to the vast distance, there is very little specific information about Zhongzhou in the Jade 簡. What exists is extremely general.
However, in just a few words, he emphasized the name Qin Sang had only recently heard - Bājǐngguān.
Here's the English translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
There are only eight characters.
The highest of Daoist teachings, the True Monarch's Hall!
True Monarch.
Zhongzhou Dao Men's respectful title for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.
“As expected, there is a Divine Transformation True Monarch. No wonder the Eight Scenes Pavilion acts so domineeringly!”
Qin Sang's gaze narrowed slightly, and he was a little puzzled. "When hunting down the culprit, why didn't that True Monarch make a move"
His gaze continued to travel. To the west of Yanyue Shíjiǔzhōu, lay the region known as Ximo by the world. Deserts and Gobi were common sights there, and information was even scarcer than before, almost non-existent.
Another is the Eastern Sea of the mainland, called the East China Sea by cultivators from Zhongzhou. There are many immortal mountains in this sea area, and there are scattered cultivators and forces there as well.
The qingshan cultivator now mistakenly believed that Qin Sang came from an overseas immortal mountain.
This East Sea is not the same as that East Sea mentioned by the Daoist with a long beard. It has nothing to do with the Return to the Abyss of the East Sea he spoke of.
The North Sea has limits, but the East China Sea has no end.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Of course, this is just the understanding of low-level cultivators.
Qin Sang knew that the end of the East China Sea was definitely also a storm belt.
The territory of Zhongzhou is truly vast, no wonder it amazed Xiaoxiangzi. Even if we consider both land and sea, the North Sea and Canglang Sea are far inferior in comparison.
"Your divine powers are vast, you can reach any corner of the world. I'm just a humble junior, my knowledge about the powerful figures and factions in Beihua is limited. I wouldn't dare to speak rashly and mislead you. When you arrive in Beihua, you might consider visiting Tibei Lou, I can also assist with that. Besides, Beihua has nine calamities..."
Saying that, the young cultivator in green hurriedly took out a jade slip, "This junior hasn't traveled through Beihuang for too long. I've only experienced one lightning disaster, which was a calamity that could have endangered my life. Of course, it wouldn't be considered anything to a senior like you. However, there's also the possibility of multiple disasters occurring at once, greatly increasing the danger level. Senior, it's best to be more cautious."
The Qing Shan cultivator spared no effort, pouring out everything he knew.
Qin Sang got what he wanted, was very satisfied, and nodded in agreement: "It's been a pleasure."
Then, his figure shifted from solid to translucent, vanishing before the azure-clad cultivator's eyes.
The Qing Shan cultivator only felt a chill down his spine, he didn't know when he had broken out in a cold sweat. He stood frozen for a full incense stick of time before daring to move.
At this time, Qin Sang had already appeared on the sea surface and flew south.
“In the north, perhaps there is a place mentioned by Senior Xiangxiangzi. If we happen to pass by, let's see if anyone lives there. We can consider it as a potential cave dwelling on our return…”
Qin Sang remembered a story Xioangzi had recorded in the jade slips about an encounter, and made up her mind to flee as quickly as lightning.
Along the way, there was almost no pause until they reached Beihuang and found a market indicated on the geomancy map. They spent a large sum of money at Tianbei Building to acquire a geomancy map that encompassed the entire mountain and river geography of Beihuang, gaining a deeper understanding of this region.
Without breaking a sweat, Qin Sang found his target - Tianlie Valley.
To get to the Sky Rift Valley, you'll need to take a detour. It's manageable though.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Immediately, Qin Sang set off on his journey.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
He traveled alone, not deliberately concealing his whereabouts, but he also rarely came into contact with the forces of Behuang.
In the chaotic situation of the Northern Desolation where demons run rampant, the overall political landscape is turbulent. Major powers are difficult to deal with. Qin Sang still prioritizes the Buddha bone relic and doesn't want any unnecessary complications, so he simply avoids contact with them.
Danger is relative.
Qin Sang and his outer incarnation, both Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, were formidable forces wherever they went. They could easily handle the Nine Calamities of the North Wilderness.
Valley of Heaven's Rift.
This plateau's mountain ridge, for some unknown reason, cracked open and stretches endlessly. Therefore, the path that runs along the valley floor is named Tianlie.
In the northern wilderness, it is said that Tianlie Valley is one of the most infamous perilous places. The Nine Calamities occur in turn, and countless cultivators have perished here.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Though dangerous, the Beihua cultivators flocked to Tianlie Valley because it grew countless rare spiritual herbs with opportunities unavailable elsewhere.
At a gap in Tiansha Valley, figures flickered on the surrounding peaks. Low-level cultivators gathered here, intently staring at the thick mist within the valley, as if waiting for something.
"The grain is ready!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Then, cheers erupted from the hills.
Only the rolling clouds in the valley thinned rapidly. What was once a blinding white expanse was now faintly revealing the trees and plants within the valley.
The so-called "Kai Gu" is a commonly accepted term among cultivators near Tianleigu.
During this period of thin cloud qi, the frequency of calamities will greatly decrease. This is the best time to enter the valley. Cultivators judge the time to enter and exit based on the changes in cloud qi within the valley.
The local monks know the ins and outs, the rules of the clouds, and they wouldn't venture deep into the valley.
The weather changes very quickly.
The cheers had yet to subside, receding into the depths of Tianleigu like a surging tide, and vision became clearer.
Someone couldn't hold back anymore.
A golden light surged down the mountain peak and vanished into the clouds.
The next moment, lights flashed on every mountaintop, and figures rushed into the valley one after another.
At this moment, Qin Sang stood on a mountain peak not far away, watching the cultivators enter the valley. He couldn't help but think back to when his cultivation was still low.
He was holding a jade tablet containing a sketch of the Heaven-Split Valley. Based on this, he analyzed that the place recorded by his predecessor, Xiao Xiangzi, should be around here.
>
The Jade簡 did not mention why the predecessor of Xiaoxiangzi came to Tiance Valley.
During his travels to Tianleigou, he accidentally discovered an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling, a perfect place for cultivation.
At that time, he thought it was just an abandoned cave and didn't pay much attention. Later, he unexpectedly obtained an ancient scripture in the North Sea. Remembering the formation of the cave, he found many similarities between it and what was recorded in the scripture.
The depths of the cave seem to hold another world!
For Qin Sang, whether or not there were treasures inside the cave dwelling didn't matter much. The cave dwelling itself was quite good, with abundant spiritual energy and an excellent location, quiet enough.
The cultivators thronged into the valley, and outside, there was no sign of anyone.
>
Qin Sang slowly flew into the valley, muttered a spell, and even as he passed by those low-level cultivators, they remained oblivious.
Similarly, the demonic beasts in the valley are also blinded by perception.
The Tianleigu Valley is often shrouded in clouds and mist, but inside it is lush and beautiful.
Beauty conceals danger.
However, the Ruyi Orb's protective barrier is sufficient.
He strolled leisurely through the valley, and gradually, there were no other figures to be seen around him.
Thus, after traveling for an unknown distance, they arrived at the deepest part of Tianleigu, a valley whose name even nearby cultivators shunned.
Qin Sang's expression moved slightly, finally finding the geographical landmarks described by Xiao Xiangzi. Eight stone peaks were arranged in a Bagua formation, and the ancient cultivator's cave dwelling was located to the southwest of this place.

He immediately turned southwest, swiftly galloping hundreds of miles. His figure suddenly stopped, staring at the scene before him, a little stunned.
The Jade簡 records.
Here lies a jade-green lake, and the grotto is hidden in the valley floor.
Where is there even a shadow of the lake now
A bottomless pit appeared on the ground, with ravines crisscrossing around it. Even after many years, Qin Sang could still see the traces – these were sword marks!
It's obvious that someone beat us here, even destroying the cave dwelling.
