Chapter 1610: Earthly Mandate
for another hour, Dongyang Bo and Chenyan suddenly stopped.Qin Sang and the others peered curiously, but found nothing.After a moment, Dongyang Bo said in a deep voice, "It's Donghyun Xian! Donghyun...Outside Hóngchéng city.
The old monk and the woman came north across the river.
... as far as the vicinity of Hongcheng.
The woman sensed something, her expression flickered, and she swiftly leaped to the peak of a mountain below. With a gentle step on the ground, the mountains trembled, rocks tumbled down, and at the same time, her true essence vibrated through the void.
"Come out!"
'Swish! Swish! Swish!'
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Several streaks of light flashed out from the darkness.
> You wouldn't believe it, there are people hiding out in this desolate wilderness.
Two streaks of qi, one green and one black, were the strongest and fastest, their momentum fierce and imposing. From within the black streak of light came a thunderous roar.
“Who dares to disturb me…”
The clamor came to an abrupt end.
The figure in the darkness seemed to have its throat squeezed.
“My Lord Saint King!”
A voice of surprise rang out in the Qingguang, surging up the mountain peak. The Qingjia people appeared, bowing deeply, "My lord pays his respects to the Holy King!"
A hulking man in black robes followed closely behind, his face a smirk that didn't quite reach his eyes. The woman radiated an unsettling aura, causing the man to fidget nervously. He hurriedly bowed alongside the man in green armor, stammering, "My subordinate acted improperly. Please punish me as you see fit, Holy King!"
They were all demons.
The Qingjia people and the rough men's armor and clothing were obviously extraordinary treasures, capable of effectively concealing their identities. Other monsters more or less emanated demonic energy.
The woman was none other than the current Demon Saint King, the master of the East China Sea Saint King's Palace - Qinghu Saint King!
The old monk is a divine being of enlightenment, Huiguang Shengzhe, from the Buddhist sect. He has already entered the Rainbow City ahead of everyone else.
The Azure Fox Saint King asked, "Why are you all gathered here for a human's ceremony"
"Your Majesty, we haven't seen you return for a long time, and we were worried about your safety. We searched all the way from the East Sea to here. Hearing that the human race has a tradition of divine transformation and ascension in their laws, there might be news about Your Majesty..."
The Qingjia man was halfway through his sentence when he was suddenly interrupted by a snort from the Qinghu Shengwang.
“Confirming that this king and the human deity's disappearance, you dare to divide the Sacred King's Palace”
“I dare not!”
The Qingjia people and the rough men were greatly alarmed, shouting in protest.
The Azure-Crested Man spoke quickly and eloquently, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you with all my heart! It's just that Long Whale saw that Your Majesty was away and conspired with the Six Legs in secret. He plotted against you, leaving me no choice but to seal off your palace and flee here."

The Azure Fox Saint King merely tapped them lightly, not truly punishing them, and asked, "What major events have transpired while I was away"
Two hundred years ago, Longjing started stirring up trouble. Many transformed cultivators were attacked and mysteriously disappeared without a trace, most likely killed by him. A century ago, he even personally led his army of shrimp and crab soldiers past the Holy King's Palace, deliberately showing disrespect!
>
> One hundred and thirty years ago, the seventh-rank Biling bamboo bloomed. The subordinates have already sealed the news.
The Qingjia people meticulously recounted all that had happened over the years.
The Azure Fox Saint King was somewhat absent-minded.
The celestial demon's voice remained undiminished, and her ascension seemed to be turning into an illusion, a fleeting mirage. In this earthly realm, nothing was more important than this. Other matters hardly stirred any ripples within her.
But when the Qingjia people mentioned one thing, the Qinghu Saint King's face changed greatly, "What did you say A ferocious beast"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The Qingjia people were very surprised to see that the Sage King didn't even know about ferocious beasts.
In the storm's domain, ferocious beasts roam, at least those of the Nascent Soul realm, and there is more than one. Every few decades, or even a few years, a beast will pass through Zhongzhou.
Nowadays, the storm belt is far more dangerous than it used to be.
At least at the Nascent Soul stage, things about ferocious beasts are common knowledge.
In the past, some Yuan Ying cultivators dared to venture beyond the barrier and explore the tempestuous zone. If they were fortunate, they might find opportunities and unearth ancient relics.
Now almost no one dares to go out. If you run into a ferocious beast, it will be a place of death with no burial.
The only consolation was that Zhongzhou's barrier seemed to possess some kind of power, something these ferocious beasts feared or disliked, preventing them from getting close.
It is still safe inside the barrier.
The Holy King was unaware of the ferocious beast, could it be that he was truly trapped there
Qing Jia people thought to himself, but wouldn't dare ask the Saint King about his experience. "More than two hundred years ago, someone first discovered the ferocious beast, and then more appeared successively. The ferocious beasts were incredibly powerful, and both races had reckless individuals who tried to peek at them and perished. They came from unknown origins, with a frenzied nature, completely lacking rationality..."

The woman's expression grew serious, and after a moment of contemplation, she suddenly leaped towards Rainbow City.
The Azure-Armored Man and the Brute exchanged a glance, instructing the rest of the demons to stay behind. They quickly followed the Saint King. Within Rainbow City, powerful human experts gathered. They hadn't dared approach before, but now that the Saint King had returned, there was nothing to fear.
Soon.
The Qinghu Saint King flew to the skies above Hongcheng, his gaze swept across the city, and he flashed towards a verdant hill in the north of the city.
In the mountains, lush forests and bamboo groves thrive, with temples hidden amongst them.
Even before they came near, the mountain echoed with the urgent ringing of alarm bells.
“Who is it!”
Suddenly, dozens of monks flew out, looking as if facing a great enemy.
At this time, a voice sounded from within the temple, belonging to Master Xingji, the abbot of Ganlu Chan Monastery, "Behave yourselves! Brother Xingzhen, please invite a few benefactors into the mountain."
“Yes!”
A young-looking monk stepped forward from the crowd, motioning for his disciples to open the formation. After chanting a Buddhist verse, he addressed the donors, "Fellow benefactors, my brother requests an audience!"
The Azure Fox Holy King had no intention of stopping. He rushed in recklessly, straight into the temple, making the monks frown in displeasure.
Inside the temple.
The Venerable Master, despite being the Abbot, could only stand at the front, respectfully addressing the old monk. Upon seeing the Azure Fox Saint King enter, he remained silent.
The Azure Fox Saint King was blunt. “Old Monk, do you know about the rampage of the ferocious beasts”
The Holy Light nodded, “Just now I understand.”
After a moment's pause, Huiguang the Saint addressed Xingji Master and the two Daoists, "You may go now."
This was something he and the Qinghu Saint King had discussed a long time ago. The matter of the Heavenly Dao Demon Sound could not be revealed for now, otherwise, it would inevitably cause panic in the cultivation world and bring chaos to the world.
For most cultivators, ascension is unattainable, at least there is one goal.
Now, let's not even talk about ascending. Under the influence of Heavenly Dao Devil Sound, breaking through the tribulation with a mental demon obstacle would be terrifyingly difficult. It's probably impossible to even pass this stage.
The path of immortality is broken, losing the only longing, with no hope of eternal life, what else can be pursued
In desperation, they might do something crazy.
The appearance of demonic beasts wreaking havoc occurred after the Heavenly Dao's demonic sound emerged!
The Azure Fox Saint King said in a deep voice, "The Return to Ruins is the lair of ferocious beasts and where the Dao Marker's gate is located. Ferocious beasts only move near the Return to Ruins, and they suddenly scattered and fled, it must be that something has changed in the Return to Ruins! The source of the Celestial Dao Demon Sound may be in the Return to Ruins, and the Immortal Palace ascension was just a decoy!"
“I have the same conjecture,” Hui Guang the Saint agreed.
The Azure Fox Saint King, Lei Li Feng Xing, said, "Since that is the case, who is lighter and who is heavier is self-evident. Go out to sea quickly and prepare to hunt down the beast! For years, the influence of the Heavenly Dao Demon Sound has accumulated in our bodies, growing stronger day by day. Sooner or later it will spiral out of control. This king does not want to become a madman completely! The hunt should aim to capture them alive. Although these beasts are inherently mad, there may be fragments of information about what happened in the Abyss of Ruins within their memories. This king will order someone back to the palace to retrieve the Guardian Array flag. Old Monk, do not waste your time on any dharma assemblies. After hunting down the beast, this king will help you clean up those low-lifes."
> On the other side.
Qin Sang traveled day and night, crossing the six states of Jiangzuo, and finally reached Nanzhou.
Back in Nanzhou, Qin Sang was familiar with the road and headed straight for Taiyue Gate.
As Qin Sang approached Taiguimen, he became invisible and concealed himself in the shadows, carefully approaching.
There was nothing unusual along the way.
Please note: The original text you provided was just a paragraph tag. I've kept it as
in the English translation since that's what it was originally. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
There were no signs of troop movements from any faction, and the eyes of the Zhongzhou cultivation world were all drawn to the Hungry Ghost Festival.
Qin Sang was most concerned about the Eight Scenic Views. He hadn't found any trace of True Person Zilei yet, and he didn't know how many masters had come to the Eight Scenic Views this time.
The Taoyue Gate is located in the Taoyue Mountains, in northern Nan Prefecture.
The scenery and local customs here are excellent, unlike the southern lands plagued by venomous miasma. They are only slightly inferior to the Six States of Jiangzuo.
The major sects in Nan Prefecture are all located here.
Mount Taiyue has dangerous terrain and abundant spiritual energy. It is free from poisonous miasma and a perfect place for cultivation.
The mountains stretched endlessly, spanning tens of thousands of miles in every direction.
Mount Taiyue Gate only occupies some picturesque peaks, but the entire mountain range is within its sphere of influence. Only a few sects affiliated with Mount Taiyue Gate are permitted to establish themselves on Mount Taiyue.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Qin Sang infiltrated Mount Taiyue and did not feel any resistance.
>
The Taiyue Sect seemed unaware that someone was plotting against them. The disciples within the sect were still carefree and happy. Qin Sang bumped into several Taiyue Sect disciples, some visiting friends and relatives, and others going out to hone their skills.
It seems the Gu Shen Cult hasn't made a move yet.
Qin Sang quietly appeared atop a desolate mountain peak, overlooking the direction of Taoyue Gate. After some thought, he decided not to proceed any further and instead cleared a cave on the spot, hiding himself within it.
The emergence of the Wu Xiang Immortal Sect would inevitably cause a great stir, it would be impossible to keep it hidden. Otherwise, the Gu Shen Cult wouldn't have needed to wait until the Hungry Ghost Festival. Here, we can definitely sense it, if we get too close, we might be discovered by both sides.
He had no grievance with either the Eight Scenes View or the Gu Shen Sect, and the situation was unclear. He didn't want to take sides so early.
Carving out a cave, Qin Sang carefully disguised it. He woke the Sky-Eyed Butterfly and kept it on guard while he continued to explore the Sun God Tree.
Somewhere.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This seems to be a cave.
The cave was dark.
Inside, shadowy figures moved around, each exuding a powerful aura. But crowded together like this, they seemed unremarkable.
Inside the grotto, there is a jade bi.
The jade bi radiated a faint light, its surface rippling like water, the glow rising and falling. Inside, it was a chaotic scene, indistinct and unclear.
At this time, two people stood before the jade bi, intently staring at it, quietly waiting for something.
Among them was none other than the host of the Eight Views Garden, the Purple Thunder True Person.
The other person was not a Taoist priest. He wore a robe with patterns of Xuanhuang Mountain, and his appearance was around forty years old. His face was stern, his eyes were sharp and intelligent, and he exuded an aura of power even without anger. He was Yue Lingtian, the current master of Taiyue Gate!
The masters of the two major sects were actually both absent from Jinyu Prefecture, hiding in a small cave!
>
A heavy silence descended.
Yue Lingtian calculated the time silently, and couldn't help but say: "Where is He Gao"
"No hurry."
Purple Lightning True Person remained calm and collected. "According to the information we have gathered, cracking the Grand Array of Wuxiang Xianmen requires the Five Phases Decree. The more missing decrees there are, the harder it is to crack, and the greater the price paid. Most fatally, the speed of breaking the array will also slow down. The longer it takes, the more experts will be attracted. Junior brother holds the Earth Phase Decree and mixes into the Gu Shen Jiao. Even if the remnants of Wuxiang Xianmen suspect him, they will definitely wait until after Wuxiang Xianmen opens before making a move."
Yue Lingtian hummed and said, "I'm worried that Qi Shen might make a slip-up at the Dharma Assembly. The old bald donkey is deeply versed in Buddhism and sees through people's hearts. I'm afraid that Qi Shen's junior brother's cultivation level is too shallow and he will be seen through by him."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“My junior brothers took Cloud-Concealing’s robe. Their cultivation levels are no lower than ours. As long as we are cautious and don't start fights, we shouldn't be exposed. Even if we're exposed after entering the Wuxiang Immortal Gate, it won't affect the bigger picture,” said Purple Thunder True Person. It was clear he had already planned everything meticulously, calculating every step.”
“It’s a pity that my seventh senior brother and the others have to go to Jinyu Prefecture. With fewer people here, Daoist brother, how confident are you in capturing the remnants of the Wu Xiang Xianmen”
Yue Lingtian pushed his finger and calculated silently, "Since the Five Immortal Orders are used to open the great formation. Not counting He Gao, at least four great cultivators are needed, if the Immortal Orders are not enough, more people will be needed. A thousand-legged insect dies but does not die stiff, it is truly a wise saying, Wuxiang Xianmen was exterminated for so many years, and it can actually gather such a powerful force! The news from Jin Yu Zhou said that Su Zi Nan didn't seem to appear in Jin Yu Zhou, and there is also Mo Xingdao, the first solitary cultivator of Behuang, who is inseparable from Su Zinan. I'm afraid these two have been drawn in by Gu Shenjiao."
Zilei Zhenren said calmly, "There's no harm in this. The goal this time is not to eliminate the remnants of the Wuxiang Xianmen. That should be the responsibility of the Buddhist and Taoist sects, we needn't shoulder it alone."
Yue Lingtian pondered for a moment, but did not press further.
His words were still hanging in the air.
The jade bi suddenly flickered, the glow flowing inward and outlining a vague human figure, a young woman.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Master! Lord Yue!"
The only female cultivator who reached the late stage of Nascent Soul in the Eight Scenes View was named Senior Sister Su Xia, also known as True Person Su Xia.
Su Xia's voice was also a little ethereal, transmitted into everyone's ears: "Shixiong Hegao sent back news that they have already set off and infiltrated Taiyue Gate. They are secretly setting up formations to blockade Taiyue Gate."
"Could the Wuxiang Immortal Sect truly be inside my mountain gate"
Yue Lingtian had anticipated this, but upon confirmation, he was still very surprised and repeatedly asked, "Which peak"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"We still don't know for sure. But remnants of the Wuxiang Xianmen went to Tenglong Cliff first," the female cultivator replied, "Master brother, you can set off too."
“Tenlong Cliff!”
Yue Lingtian's eyes widened in disbelief, his face filled with astonishment. "I have been practicing at Tenglong Cliff for hundreds of years and never felt anything unusual!"
He is not the only one.
Tenlong Cliff is the training ground for generations of masters of Taoyue Sect. The entire sect is kept in the dark about this.
Zilei Zhenren's expression remained unchanged as he followed up with a question, "Besides the remnants of the Wu Xiang Xian Men, are there any others"
Su Xia Zhenren said: "Both Su Zinan and Mo Xingdao are here, and they haven't concealed their identities. However, Su Zinan is not accompanied by the Moon Guard. This suggests that the remnants of the Wu Xiang Xianmen have not yet revealed secrets to him before. They suspect each other and are not a united front, which can be exploited."
The message was as expected.
Zither Lei Zhenren was not surprised, nodded and said, "What else"
"There was also an unknown cultivator of great skill."
Sushen Zhenren pondered for a moment before saying, "It is said that this person is also a descendant of the Wu Xiang Xian Men, but he does not have the Five Phases Order in his hand. My senior brother said that the Gu Shen Jiao only has gathered the gold and wood talismans. Counting my senior brother's earth talisman, they only have three!"
“We still need water and fire!”
Purple Lightning Zhenren suddenly realized, "The leader of the Gu Shen Jiao collects five elemental treasures everywhere, precisely to refine artifacts and fill the gaps in the Five Phases Order... Junior brother hasn't seen through his true identity"
Su Xia Zhenren gently shook her head, "Senior brother can't be sure yet. However, based on what senior brother has seen, the resources this person can mobilize are enormous, definitely not a wandering cultivator. He must hold a high position in some sect."
