Chapter 1772: Tao Hengshan's Talisman
will probably be hard to break the seal and send reinforcements in a short time."Seeing everyone panic, the Supreme Patriarch smiled faintly and said, “There’s no need to be afraid. The Ancestor invi...Guts.
Qin Sang was meditating quietly in a cave dwelling.
After weathering this tribulation, one can have three hundred years of peaceful cultivation. Next, one can focus on cultivating talismans.

He circulated his cultivation techniques to heal the injuries inflicted by the tribulation.
Thanks to their strong regenerative abilities, the wounds were healing quickly. However, Qin Sang gradually noticed something amiss.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
His physical body inexplicably grew much stronger!
Qin Sang couldn't help but be startled. After his breakthrough, he had been wholeheartedly immersed in comprehending the two divine abilities, neglecting his cultivation. Logically speaking, there shouldn't have been such a noticeable improvement.
"...Could it be..."
A flash of inspiration struck Qin Sang's mind. He remembered the time he crossed the tribulation, when the gray heavenly tribulation struck him, a strange energy seemed to seep into his body.
At that time, he had to focus on crossing the tribulation because he didn't notice anything unusual, so he didn't pay attention.
Could this gray lightning strike bring about a transformation for itself
For practitioners, each heavenly tribulation is both a hurdle and an opportunity.
It's the first time Qin Sang has received such great benefits from a Heavenly Tribulation.
Qin Sang quickly discovered that it wasn't just his physical strength and cultivation that had improved, but also his Nascent Soul and even his primordial spirit seemed to have undergone some changes.
This is a comprehensive transformation. If you have to describe it forcefully, it means he is closer to the Tao now. Previously, his understanding of the Tao had some biases and shortcomings, but now it has been perfected, and the benefits are self-evident.
"All cultivators who ascended from the Small Thousand World have to go through this, right Although it's dangerous, as long as you can get through it, it's equivalent to receiving recognition and gifts from the heaven of this world. I wonder if future heavenly tribulations will also change..."
Qin Sang sighed inwardly.
Looking at it this way, he felt more and more that he had entered the vast world and might have landed in a closed corner of it.
At this moment, Qin Sang suddenly remembered the Tianmu butterfly.

Could the Tiānmù Butterfly, having swallowed many tribulation thunderbolts, also gain a chance like him
Qin Sang guarded his dantian internally. He saw the Heavenly Eye Butterfly standing still on Yuan Ying's shoulder, and carefully called out to it, but the Heavenly Eye Butterfly responded rather sluggishly.

"...Digesting the tribulation bolt..."
Qin Sang couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart.
The Heaven-Eye Butterfly is at the peak of its four transformations, facing the threshold of a breakthrough. If it can weather the Heavenly Tribulation and seize the opportunity for transformation, it should greatly benefit its breakthrough.
Of course, Qing Shuang Dan still needs to be refined. He is collecting news about Ba Jie Di Zhu.

Gushan, He Ming Shan.
Qin Sang returned to his cave and, after a brief rest, set off again, his destination being Xingdao Immortal Lake.
This line describes Qin Sang's plan made before his tribulation. On the one hand, he had a previous agreement with the Swordmaster; on the other hand, Xinjia Fairy Lake, as a gathering place for mountain-dwelling cultivators, was more likely to yield the information he desired.
He planned to visit Xingdao Xianhu on his way to see Zhujian Zhenren, so as not to alarm Gu Zhou Zhenren, he set off alone.
To the west of Mount Gushan lies a region entirely controlled by the Dao Court. Xuandao City is the easternmost immortal city in this area, and its name itself reveals the Dao Court's high hopes for it.
When Chū Hé traveled from Shanxi to Xuāndào City, he could ride the Shifting Array back to Báishízhì. Qin Sang had visited Língxū Master here last time when he came to visit.
However, this time Qin Sang didn't head west. After leaving He Ming Mountain, he went northwest and arrived at a fairy city called Li City after half a month.
Although Li City is close to Dao Ting, it is not under Dao Ting's jurisdiction. It was built by the combined forces of various mountain factions and cannot be compared in scale to Xuan Dao City. Compared to He Ming Mountain, it is insignificant.
>
However, this small town is widely known for its mountains.
Through Li City, turn to several fairy cities, each with a teleportation array, until reaching Star Island Fairy Lake, which is one of the safest and most convenient routes for Gu Shanji.
Looking from north to south, Mount Jizhan's terrain resembles a funnel.
The further north you go, the wider it becomes, and the further south you go, the narrower it gets. There's a reason why the Dao Ting and Gui Fang Guo armies are facing each other on Huang Quan Dao.
When Qin Sang infiltrated the Ghost Nation, round trip, including the time spent searching for the Four Seasons Dream-Flower, it took him less than a year.
The distance in the north-south direction is much greater, and Star Island Fairy Lake is located at the northernmost tip of Shanchi. Flying there would be too slow.

Li Cheng is built on a plain, with an expansive view. Although it's not large in scale, its defenses are quite strict.
At the city gate, people flowed like a tapestry. Many Shanzhi monks who left Lichi City first traveled west to Xuan Dao City and then to He Ming Mountain. It was much safer.
As Qin Sang entered the city with the flow of people, over 90% of the cultivators he saw were wearing Taoist robes and crane cloaks.
Underneath these robes of a Taoist practitioner, the cultivation may not necessarily be from a Taoist lineage, but they are definitely all influenced by Taoist talismans.
Li Cheng was like a stopover, nothing much to see, so Qin Sang went straight to the teleportation array.
Yunfeng City.
This is a fairy city located between Lichi City and the Star Island Fairy Lake. Qin Sang moved out of Yunfeng City using a teleportation array, and did not continue north. After leaving the city, he recalled the map of geomancy from his memory and flew east.
Several days later, Qin Sang saw from afar several mountain ranges running north to south. Outside the mountains, there was a vast river delta formed by the impact of rivers, where people lived in abundance.
There are a few places in the mountains where one can sense the presence of cultivators gathering.
He did not stop, continuing eastward. All he could see were rolling hills, and between the mountains there were many similar places.
These are the locations of nearby sects' mountain gates.
Soon, Qin Sang stopped in front of a picturesque mountain range.
"Tao Hengshan."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang's heart flashed with this name.
When he returned to Hesheng Mountain from Xinggu, he collected information about Shanji. The first person he met was the head of Taohengshan.
When they first met, Tao Hengshan's master was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. In this realm, he was called a Rising Xuan Dharma Position Mid-Stage cultivator, close to reaching the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage.
This realm is not without Nascent Soul experts. The leader of a major faction is only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, which seems a bit weak. Qin Sang suspects that Tao Hengshan should have hidden masters.
Qin Sang walked along the way and found that there were many sects, big and small, here. They surrounded Mount Tao Heng like stars surrounding the moon.
The reason for this is that Tao Hengshan has a dharma altar and is qualified to bestow the Taoist initiation!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This platform is called the Taohengzong Altar, but it was definitely not founded by Taohengshan. As for which Daoist school it originally belonged to, Taohengshan may not have known either.
In the world of Gusu, not every sect possesses a talisman altar. If one wishes to receive an official talismans, they can only seek assistance from those sects that do.

These forces, for this very reason, gathered around Taoheng Mountain, holding their breath and, in a way, were vassals of Taoheng Mountain.
However, the layout and structure of Mount Fuji are different from those of the Storm Realm. In the Storm Realm, sects are built according to spiritual veins, and the most important consideration for these sects is their Dharma platforms.
Unattached to any established power with a legal foundation, they can only purchase the right to be ordained for their disciples using spirit stones and treasures. Otherwise, they face the crisis of lineage being severed.
Here is the translation:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's conceivable that a Buddhist altar of great value would be coveted by many, and one wouldn't be able to protect it without sufficient strength.
Who is coming
Qin Sang did not conceal his presence. As soon as he arrived, he was noticed by the mountain guard disciples and questioned.
“I am Qingfeng, a humble practitioner. I have come to visit the esteemed Taoist Master Tao. This is my letter of introduction,” Qin Sang introduced himself.
Upon learning that the visitor was here to see their master, the disciples guarding the mountain did not dare neglect their duty. They quickly reported back, and soon laughter echoed through the mountains as a blue-clothed Taoist priest arrived. It was Tao Zhenren himself. "Your esteemed arrival has caused us to be remiss in our greetings. Please do not mind!"
The two embraced and chatted happily, then entered the mountains.
After some polite greetings, Tao Zhenren asked: "Friend Daoist, what brings you out this time Perhaps I can be of help"
“This humble Daoist cannot intentionally come to visit fellow Daoists,” Qin Sang said with a smile.
Tao Zhenren feigned annoyance, “I understand your temperament, fellow Taoist. Thirty years ago, I invited you, but you made me wait for so long. Your determination to pursue the Dao is unwavering, and I am ashamed of myself. Unless there's something else pressing, don't even think about leaving your cave!”
It's not that I don't want to, but it's a situation where I have no choice.
Qin Sang shook his head slightly. At that time, he was forced by the Heavenly Tribulation, how could he spare any thoughts
Tao Zhenren did not pursue the matter further and asked, "Daoist friend, you came down the mountain this time. Are you planning to travel around and choose talismans for your disciples"
>
"Very well, so this poor Daoist went straight to your treasure trove," Qin Sang nodded.
When Qin Sang first met Tao Zhenren, he pretended to be taking on a disciple and was looking for an appropriate talismans for his apprentice.
Tao Zhenren nodded and said, "This poor Taoist has not forgotten the agreement from back then; it is still valid today. As long as my friend chooses the altar of Taohengzong and becomes a guest elder of Taohengshan, then my friend's descendants can all receive ordination at the altar of Taohengzong in the future."
Qin Sang pondered for a moment and said, "Back then, this poor Taoist hadn't made a decision yet, and hadn't carefully consulted your sect's talismans..."
"These are no secret."
Tao Zhenren thought for a moment and said, "Daoist friend, come with me to the Shulu Courtyard and you will know."
Qin Sang was taken aback. "Is this too presumptuous"
As its name suggests, the Shulu Courtyard is the place where sects bestow talismans. As the core dharma platform of the sect is located in the Shulu Courtyard, it is undoubtedly a forbidden place for all sects.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
By this time, Tao Zhenren had already stood up and walked toward the door, saying it was alright.
Tao Zhenren was still unclear about Qin Sang's true cultivation level.
If Qin Sang deliberately concealed it, even the cultivators at his level would find it hard to see through, let alone him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However, Tao Zhenren was very confident in the defense of the Shulu Courtyard.
The Taoist academy is the most heavily guarded place in the sect. Even an expert like Zhenren Dongxuan wouldn't dare to try anything there, and he wasn't taking Qin Sang to the Tao Hengzong altar either.
Qin Sang understood this truth and wouldn't be foolish enough to cause a commotion in a forbidden place.
The Shulu Courtyard is located in a valley deep within Taoheng Mountain. Standing high, one can see several scattered halls and pavilions in the valley.
Qin Sang heard that the Daoist sect's initiation hall was grand and magnificent, with numerous halls and pavilions used to enshrine deities, unlike Tao Heng Mountain which was so simple.
But Tao Hengshan was not from the orthodox Daoist lineage, so he didn't follow those rules.
Tao Hengshan brought Qin Sang down outside the valley and entered a large hall. This place stored some ancient books.
“Tao Hengzong altar can bestow the first level Taishang Zhengyi Tongzi Lingguan General talisman. Think of the sixty Jiazi Tai Sui Shen among the gods who are close to water, it is not difficult to invite the guardian god general. Promote to check Shuiyu Lu, think of the gods of the water department. According to experience, inviting the Jin Guan Bi Xu messenger as the guardian god general is the easiest…”
Tao Zhenren explained it to him.
If Qin Sang had just arrived in this realm, he would have been completely unable to understand the meaning of Tao Zhenren's words.
Among Daoist sects, talismans are not identical. Each sect's transmission encompasses several talismans, arranged in order of seniority to form a complete system within the sect.
A whole system usually has a special name, such as the Tianshu Courtyard's Gonglu and the Beiji Quxie Courtyard's Beidi Lu.
Tao Hengzong's altar talisman is called Tao Hengshan Lu by nearby cultivators.
As Tao Zhenren said, the Tao Hengshan Lu only has two levels, because each level actually corresponds to two major realms.
One receives the Taoist mandate from the Great Master Zhengyi, Tongzi Lingguan General's scroll. This corresponds to the Zhengyi position and De Dao position. No further scrolls are required in between; one can practice normally.
Equivalent to the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment periods.
Afterward, one continues to ascend the ancestral altar and receive the water jade talisman. Then, they can continue cultivating to the Daoist God realm and the Xuan Fa Realm, which is the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
If anyone from Taoheng Mountain were to continue making breakthroughs, then the Taohengzong altar would be unable to bestow the secret teachings. They could only seek them externally.
The Sixty Jiazi Tai Sui Shen and the Golden Guan Bi Xu messenger are both deities from Taoist legends.
On the talismans, one should invoke the celestial deities. These are them. Successfully thinking of and invoking the celestial deities is what allows for the summoning of divine protectors to guard the altar.
Back then, when the sect forged altars and passed down talismans, they might not have corresponded to these deities. Perhaps due to different cultivation techniques or incomplete transmission, the cultivators of Taoheng Mountain couldn't ponder these deities.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you can invoke similar celestial deities, and successfully invite the guardian deity to preside over your altar, you will be able to cultivate.
Tao Hengshan's talismans only had two layers, which confirmed the statement made by the Sword-wielding Immortal back then.
It's difficult to obtain higher-level talismans.
Qin Sang sighed inwardly.
Tao Zhenren didn't know Qin Sang's thoughts and continued to talk endlessly, "Fellow Daoist, after a disciple accepts the Taoist decree, if they set up a Golden Seal Altar, the most suitable spirit object is the sap of the Silver Dew tree. Our sect has cultivated many Silver Dew spirits trees and can give Fellow Daoist a certain share. At least before the disciple breaks through to the Dongshen realm, they won't have to worry."
He believed he was sincere, but it wasn't easy to win over a top-tier expert.

Tao Zhenren looked at Qin Sang, waiting for a reply.
"Silverdew tree sap..."
Qin Sang muttered to himself, recalling Tao Zhenren's introduction just now.
According to the name of the talismans and the deities enshrined in them, Tao Hengshan's talisman leans more towards the water element among the Five Elements.
>
In fact, each type of talisman has different focuses and distinctions in the Five Elements, Yin-Yang, etc., and is classified accordingly.
Although these talismans can be used to establish altars and invite deities, it is best for cultivators to choose talismans that are closer to their own cultivation techniques, as they are said to offer certain benefits.
According to Qin Sang's understanding of the Yuanshen Yangjian Chapter, this method can be said to be formless, at least the five element talismans should all be suitable. Of course, Qin Sang didn't expect to get much benefit from it.
If talismans of swords and death existed in this world, perhaps they would be the most suitable for him.
Since that was the case, Qin Sang's first consideration was the talismans that could be used to cast the altar the fastest.
Outside the Taoist sect, most cultivators practice the Golden Seal Altar. Even within Taoist sects, only a few can afford to raise Dao soldiers.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The spirit objects required for casting a gold talisman must have characteristics that match the talismans, which are called "Anlu." Otherwise, even if it is forced to be cast, the talisman altar may be unstable.
It can be seen that, in essence, casting a talisman is about refining the special power of these spiritual beings and merging it with the power of talismans.
Thinking about himself, Qin Sang had already considered which two talismans were most suitable for him. He believed that the fire department talisman and the thunder department talisman were the best choices!
rather than Tao Hengshan's water department talismans.
He possesses both the true feather of Zhuque and the true feather of Tianfeng. If he could use the true fire contained within these true feathers to forge an altar, wouldn't it be effortless to create a solid talisman altar
As for the Lei department, he once hunted down a ferocious beast called the Thunder Tortoise in the Storm Realm, obtaining the Thunder Tortoise's demon bone and demon pill.
The demon bone and demon pill possess the Heavenly Tortoise's talent for Thunder Force. If refined, they should be able to forge talismans of a divine transformation level.

Even at a higher level, he possesses the power within the Phoenix wings. The essence of Qingluan's thunder force is no less powerful than both kinds of true fire!te open a crack and gazed at Shen Gang Peak in the distance!What a magnificent mountain that pierces the clouds!Qin Sang was amazed. This peak's grandeur, among all the mountains he had seen, was seco...
