Chapter 1752: Demon Talismans
it difficult for the Nine Dragons Heavenly Chariot Talisman to function at its full potential within the confined cave.>The first person Qin Sang suspected was naturally the short and fat cultivator....God is made by man!

Qin Sang's expression moved slightly.

Just now, he learned from the demon fox that under Dao Ting's rule, the City God of Cheng Huang Shan was not only responsible for restraining demons and ghosts within his jurisdiction, but also had to dispatch soldiers to capture any unruly demons and ghosts to prevent the common people from being disturbed.
Moreover, in this realm, mortals worship gods by gathering at local temples. During the ritual, deities can perform spells to cleanse mortals' bodies of the six celestial remnants that have invaded them.
But outside the Dao Court, mortals had no such peace. They lived and died on their own, said to resemble evil spirits and be called Ghosts.
According to this theory, did Dao Ting pacify the world through conferring divinity upon deities
Qin Sang knew little about the Daoist way, and couldn't figure out how it was done. However, he had no intention of becoming a god. Besides being under the jurisdiction of the Daoting, he was also forbidden to leave his territory at will, and he didn't know what other constraints there would be in terms of cultivation. He would be restricted by others for his whole life.
But acquiring an official Daoist ordination requires going through the ritual procedures of a Daoist temple or sect, it's obviously not as simple as that.
Thinking of this, Qin Sang couldn't help but look at the Bi Yao twice more. After this demon exploded the altar and fled, he could still manipulate the talisman altar and command the demon soldiers. Could there be some other mystery
When Qin Sang asked, the Bewildered Demon guessed his thoughts and secretly thought that this Taoist master was not a simple person. He immediately became more cautious.
Thinking about this, it also secretly sighed.
Many of the vital points are not known until after a battle has been won.
The former master of the demon was a true person who had ascended to the level of Xuanfa.
The Bèi yāo was not originally a soldier of the Dān xiāo Mansion. That real person saw its extraordinary talent and might be able to use it as a unique soldier, so he took it under his command. Unexpectedly, he had brought in a calamity.
As the real person was severely wounded by a powerful enemy and his personal guards were slaughtered, he unexpectedly obtained a treasure extremely useful to the demon of poverty. The demon of poverty, emboldened by this opportunity, seized the chance while the situation was chaotic, leading the wolf soldiers to attack and destroy the altar.
The Taoist was betrayed by his soldiers who took away the altar. However, because the soldiers had always been connected with the Taoist in their shared reverence for the deities, a mystical link remained. Thus, the demonic entity could still use and seek refuge in the altar.
But after all, the Bèi Yao was only a thief dwelling in the Lù Tán. He wasn't its true master.
In daily practice, cultivation should prioritize the main altar master, integrating the divine thoughts of troops and soldiers. Through this, one can ascend to heaven's will and cultivate their awareness of the deities.
The
troubled demon did not know the profound mystery within, he could not only continue to exist as a god, nor could he touch the guardian gods of the altar even slightly. He could only passively accept protection, and the effect was inevitably greatly reduced.
At that time, the Bi Yao was only at the late stage of the demon pill cultivation. At first, it didn't feel anything unusual and thought it had gained an advantage. It waited until it used that treasure to break through to the Nascent Soul stage before realizing something was wrong. The guardian god general could no longer completely protect it.
And as the cultivator's cultivation level increases, the protective effect will become weaker and weaker.
Like this kind of demonic cultivator, the chaotic energy actually benefits more in tempering their demonic bodies. The most important thing is to protect the altar's divine general.
If it were merely a matter of pleasure and freedom, then it would be fine. One just needs to keep the ferocious thoughts in check. With a lifetime ahead, one should not reach a state of mental confusion.
>
Even though this wretched demon also had ambition, as it practiced diligently, its skills grew increasingly profound. Even if there were no obvious changes in the short term, over time, it would eventually follow in the footsteps of its kind.
Qin Sang heard this, but seemed thoughtful.
Just now, I heard about the method of conserving one's spirit. I originally thought it was a kind of visualization technique, but in fact, I had come into contact with this type of practice a long time ago.
At the beginning of cultivation in , one must visualize a powerful demon. He chose the Qingluan, cultivating with a human form. Not only did he forge a pair of Thunder Wings, but after incorporating Qingluan's essence blood, a Heavenly Demon form was born. This shows that the visualization technique is not an illusion.
But listening to Buyi Yao say this, Qin Sang felt that storing the divine was not as simple as mere visualization.
If it's a matter of visualization techniques, if the master of the talismanic altar falls, the guardian spirits will lose their foundation. Even if they can continue to exist, they will be nothing more than lifeless objects.
Even as a powerful shapeshifting demon, Bi Yao was unable to shake the shackles of her past. Her strength was no match for that of her former master Xiu.
Thus, the key should be in that "lú," it must have a unique power.
"God..."
Qin Sang frowned slightly.

If there really are deities in the heavens overlooking mortals and ruling over the world, even such an important secret, wouldn't Bai Ji be reminded by Gui Mu But neither of them had said a word about it.
It's a pity that the poor demon lost his talismans, otherwise I could have studied them.
However, Qin Sang did not regret it. Knowing the secrets of cultivation in this world was enough for him. He would have opportunities to see the talisman altar and the guardian gods in the future.
Qin Sang pondered for a moment and said, "You designed the plot to murder the celestial officials of Tianshu Courtyard. Who gave you the order"
Knowing Zhidao Ting's power, he didn't want to offend such a huge figure. Pei Yao should not have lost his rationality yet, there must be a reason!
The wretched demon, without the slightest hesitation, laid bare all the details.
Since its breakthrough, it felt the road ahead was difficult and dared not wander under the Dao Court's rule. It roamed outside day and night. Once it considered going to the Eastern Extreme Demon and Ghost Kingdom, but it was too far away and unsafe.
It is the identity of a wandering sorcerer. Any Taoist master who encounters him will immediately take action to capture him.

Wandering aimlessly for a while, it actually encountered an opportunity by chance and unexpectedly stumbled upon a powerful demon in its human form.

This demon was a snake demon who had never submitted to humans. It cultivated on its own, reaching a higher level of cultivation than the Beiyue Demon, but it remained unmoved by the chaotic currents of fate.
The demon, overjoyed, eagerly sought guidance from the snake demon. The latter made no secret of it; she practiced a demonic charm inherited from the land of demons and ghosts, which she could bestow upon him. However, her condition was that he capture a celestial official of rank equal to or higher than a branch head from the Daoist sect as payment.
To murder a celestial official of the Dao Court is a heinous crime, let alone one who holds a seat on the High Council.
However, Pei Yao dared to betray his true master and offend the Danxiao Mansion. This involved his own path of cultivation, so he wouldn't hesitate any further after a brief moment of contemplation, he readily agreed.
The fox demon was cunning and shrewd. After careful consideration and investigation, she chose this location, which belonged to a newly appointed altar master with little experience. However, the opponent proved to be more skilled, leaving the fox demon defeated and her forces scattered.
Hearing this, Qin Sang's expression moved slightly, "Demonic talisman"
Talismans are not exclusive to Taoism.
There is also a nation of demons and ghosts in this world. The fact that it can become a country indicates that it has a certain order and can contend with the Dao Court, so its strength is conceivable.
Qin Sang pondered.
He now urgently wants to do two things.

First, one obtains the method of cultivating tranquility and vital energy, enabling continued cultivation in this world.
The second is to make sure that the tempering with chaotic energy will only affect the physical body and not anything else, such as the primordial spirit.

The way of the gods is unclear.
Since there is hope seen within the Daoist scripture system, it would not be considered unless absolutely necessary to look into Shinto.
Please note that the original text you provided was empty within the " > " tags.
For him, the protective divine general was not a necessity, but now that he was in the Nascent Soul stage, he had to be protected by high-grade talismans during his cultivation.
>
Based on his current understanding of the Dao Court, it was a rigidly structured hierarchy with almost no loopholes to exploit.
The entire Daoist court is interconnected, a single action can set off a chain reaction. If extreme measures are used, one misstep could attract the attention of a great master. Qin Sang wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
Low-grade talismans might still be able to get by, but high-grade talismans are never easily given out by any Daoist sect or the Dao Courts. Once faced with a Great Real Person or even a True Monarch, he will have nowhere to hide.
Qin Sang had once thought of approaching the powers in this world and openly declaring his origins, provided that the cultivators here were not exceptionally powerful. After all, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage would already hold considerable weight, and the other party would only be able to try to recruit him.
With the strength displayed by the Dao Court, although Nascent Soul cultivators are not weak, they needn't be taken too seriously.

Moreover, his current strength is far inferior to what it used to be.

If he were to be investigated thoroughly, he would have no defense. I'm afraid Tianfeng Zhenyu would be exposed. This treasure is crucial for Zhuque's revival and his cultivation; it must not be given away willingly.
Qin Sang was struggling to find a way out of the predicament when he suddenly heard the fox demon mention the talisman, and his eyes lit up.
If the talisman also has the ability to stabilize one's vital energy, he must be careful. If the talisman only has the ability to protect one's soul, he can rest assured and use chaotic energy to temper his body, quickly increasing his strength.
First, cultivate the body, slowly explore, and when "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" breaks through, you will be much more at ease.
Furthermore, borrowing a talisman of the demon allows one to glimpse the mystery of Taoist talismans.

As his thoughts flickered, Qin Sang did not act rashly. He keenly sensed a doubt: "The Snake Demon's cave is in the westernmost part of Dao Ting, and it is tens of thousands of miles away from the Kingdom of Demons and Ghosts. Where did the Snake Demon obtain the magic talisman"
According to the Bēi yāo's account, their Nine Dragons Country is located at the southwestern end of Zhong Mao Zhi. Proceeding westward along the coastal border and crossing a place called the Dū tán, one reaches the westernmost point of Zhong Mao Zhi.
There was no Daoist court's jurisdiction there, demons rampaged freely, but they were all just loose sand. The Demon and Ghost Kingdom lay in the easternmost part of this realm, separated by the Daoist Court's dual governance. Logically, nothing should be able to reach this place.
The snake demon then hid in the depths.
“This is also Xiao Yao's confusion, but Xiao Yao was already at her wit’s end at the time, afraid of angering the snake demon, and didn't dare to ask more. Perhaps, perhaps...”
>
The fiend was scratching its ears and cheeks in frustration, then its eyes lit up. "Perhaps a powerful being from my clan is here, passing down the teachings and restraining the Dao Court!"
The more he talked, the more sense it made.

Qin Sang nodded slightly, lost in thought.
Now that a decision had been made, Qin Sang no longer hesitated. He immediately ordered Bei Yao to lead the way, and the man and the demon went west along the sea border. Along the way, nothing unexpected happened. After more than a month of travel, they arrived at a vast expanse of mountains.
“Immortal Master, the place where this little demon encountered the snake is not far ahead. Although this little demon has only seen the snake demon twice, it can be seen that it is very cautious and careful. Usually, it only uses the means of shadow transmission to communicate with me, and I don't know where its true form is hiding. We need to come up with a foolproof plan so as not to startle the snake and let it escape.”
The demon's dual legs slammed against the ground, causing her to stand abruptly. She crouched beside Qin Sang, feigning humility and using a flattering tone to offer strategic advice.
Qin Sang stood on the mountaintop, scanning the peaks, silent.

Once he left the governance of Dao Court, he felt the six celestial qi of the outside world becoming more rampant. The further he left Dao Court, the more so this was the case. He had to use more divine sense to stabilize his true yuan.
Thinking about the Dao Ting's establishment of the Jing altar, Du altar, and Fen altar, Qin Sang felt that there must be a reason behind it, but he didn't know how those deities played their roles.
At that moment, screams and the sounds of running pursuit echoed from the foot of the mountain.
Qin Sang had already noticed that place, but only now was he looking at it.
Shadows of trees swayed on the hillside, occasionally rustling with a sound that could break one's heart. Leaves whispered and sighed in the breeze.
A white shadow leaped and darted among the branches. Upon closer inspection, it was a white rabbit, as large as a wolfhound. It frequently turned its head to glance back, its eyes filled with alarm. Its spirit was lively and full of intelligence, clearly a fox-spirit in rabbit form.
Behind it chased a figure, unusually tall, over ten feet high, with muscles knotted and bulging, powerful and imposing, rushing like the wind.
This man's hands were larger than a fan, with immense strength. A single clap of his hands could snap a large tree in half. The rabbit demon was completely outmatched and had nowhere to run, neither heaven nor earth offered him refuge.
"Supreme Immortal, this is the ghost."
The demon awkwardly peeked its head out, pointing at the figure and proactively introducing it to Qin Sang.
Although the human figure had the upper hand, destined to kill the rabbit demon sooner or later, Qin Sang's heart felt heavy.
This apparition, placed in the mortal realm, would undoubtedly be considered a giant. Its features and limbs resemble those of humans, yet no one upon seeing it would consider it to be of human descent.
But the fact of the matter is just that, the ghost people are human beings!
The reason is very simple. Ghostly beings have lived for years in the qi of the six realms and lack the protection of the Dao court, so they underwent earth-shattering changes.
Ghost people have tough, iron-like bodies and boundless strength, surpassing that of ordinary humans. However, this comes at the cost of impaired mental faculties.
This goblin's animalistic nature is very apparent.
At this moment, the rabbit demon was cornered at a sheer cliff. Knowing its end was near, it revealed a ferocious glint in its eyes. Suddenly turning its head, it let out a gust of fetid wind from its nostrils and mouth, its sharp teeth transforming into a bloody red as it fiercely bit toward...
The ghost-folk were not afraid, but rather overjoyed. They cried out with delight and didn't dodge at all, delivering a punch with surprising speed that landed squarely on the rabbit demon's throat.
Only a sickening crunch of bone was heard, followed by the rabbit demon's scream. The agonizing pain overwhelmed its instinct to survive; it still tried to flee but was caught by the ghost man, his hand clasped firmly around its throat. A simple squeeze of his palms silenced it forever.
Fresh blood gushed from the rabbit demon's neck wound. The ghost raised the rabbit demon, opened its mouth and drank greedily. Satisfied, it dragged the corpse of the rabbit demon to a hidden valley.
In the valley, there was a cave sealed with massive stones. The goblins knocked on it several times, and the rocks moved inward, letting the goblins and their prey in. With a final bang, they closed it again.
Qin Sang took it all in. The ghosts had lived here for generations, battling countless fairies and demons, and had long since undergone a transformation. Even returning to the Dao court, they would have to gradually recover over generations before they could return to normal.
In fact, Dao Ting does not reject ghosts. There are even people from Dao Ting who go out specifically to find ghosts and escort them back to Dao Ting.

Qin Sang couldn't protect himself, and he didn't have the spare thoughts to worry about others. He retracted his gaze and said to the Po Demon, "You may go now. This poor Dao will take care of things."
The demon was taken aback. It had expected Qin Sang to use some means to restrain it, but it hadn't anticipated that he would let it go so easily to lure the enemy out.
The monster, after secretly checking his entire body and finding nothing amiss, decided not to dwell on it any longer. He bowed to Qin Sang, then leaped off the mountain cliff and disappeared into a thicket of trees.
At this moment, a butterfly was perched on its shoulder, its wings fluttering with its every movement, but the demon remained oblivious to it.
Qin Sang stood there with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his lips. He concealed his true form as the Heavenly-Eyed Butterfly, a supernatural ability innate to its kind. Now that he was using it, even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage might overlook him if they weren't carefully investigating. An ordinary demon king in the Form Transformation Stage would surely be unable to see through it.
Qin Sang lightly tapped his foot and followed at a leisurely pace. After a while, he found a cave dwelling and stopped. He took out the Tao Tree and fell into silent contemplation.
The demon, though unaware of Qin Sang's methods, still trembled with fear. However, it was adept at disguises, swiftly arriving at a secluded shrine and retrieving a sharp fang. It inscribed three circles on the water surface clockwise, then counterclockwise again.
With a splash, water rose in the pool, transforming into a seven-foot-long scarlet snake. It surveyed its surroundings with wary eyes before turning to the embarrassed demon and said in a cold voice, "You have failed!"
