Chapter 1934: Martial Dao
ovice. As long as he didn't encounter a powerful demon like those from the Guiyin sect who claimed to be at the Nascent Soul realm, it would be anyone's guess who would kill whom.This is a test.The so...The Ice Man is encased in ice, but his breath hasn't ceased. He is clearly no ordinary person.

This person was either trapped by enemy magic or used the Xuanbing seal to isolate their aura, then drifted away with the river current to escape the enemies.
It looks more like the latter, but this person's current state is not good.
He might have been thinking of escaping the danger and breaking free from the ice on his own after waking up, but his injuries were too severe. Not only was there no sign of him regaining consciousness, but his breath grew weaker and weaker.
"Tsk tsk! This guy's going to freeze himself solid if he doesn't come out soon."
Such a good-natured creature like Zhuque wouldn't be able to stand it. With a dip of its wings, it opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of fire, rolling the ice from the center of the river onto the shore.

"As she went down, she said, 'Something big might have happened up ahead. What if it's related to the main stage you're looking for Maybe wake him up and ask.'"

Qin Sang knew this wasn't Zhuque's true intention, just worried that he didn't want to get involved, so he casually said it.
But Qin Sang didn't stop him.
First, what Zhuque said made some sense. Second, he found that the person in the ice looked familiar, he might recognize him.
‘Bang!’
When Xuan Bing was ignited by the flames, it smashed to the ground and instantly shattered into five pieces. The Ice Person rolled out of the fragments.
This person is lying on their back, with both hands clasped in front of their chest, tightly gripping a sword.
He looked very young, like a youth of about twenty. His face was pale, and his breath was extremely weak. The white robe on his body was stained with blood in many places, frozen by the Xuan Bing, both his own blood and that of others.

The young man in white robes had changed somewhat in appearance and demeanor from his former self, but Qin Sang was certain it was the same person.
It was right here in Yun Ding City, the same year I sold him a token of my Daoist temple. I never expected to meet him again here.
At that time, the young man was only at the Qi Refining stage, but now he had reached the late stage of the Golden Core, not far from the Nascent Soul.
More than two hundred years, he could attack the Nascent Soul stage, and having received a Purple Origin Pill from Qin Sang, his chances of forming an infant soul were not small.
If Qin Sang remembers correctly, the boy's father passed away when he was very young, and he had to venture out to trade at such a tender age. It's certain that he didn't have any powerful backers behind him.
If a young man achieved this level of success without having a master and as a wandering cultivator, he would be considered exceptional even in the vast world.
Qin Sang and the others landed, and they saw the white-robed youth's chest rising and falling slightly, his eyelids fluttering a few times before slowly opening.
The young man in white robes woke up, seeing the stranger beside him, he was startled and suddenly jumped to his feet, instinctively raising the spirit sword in his hand.
Here is the translation of the provided content:

"Whew!"
A cold wind whipped up the Spirit Sword, blocking in front of the man in white. The tip of the sword trembled slightly.
But before the Lingjian could unleash its sword qi, a stream of fire struck down with force, easily scattering the cold wind and sending the Lingjian crashing to the ground.

“Hey! Boy, it was the great divine bird who saved you, and you dare to draw your sword against me!”
Zhu Que glared at the young man in white, very dissatisfied, and shouted loudly.
‘Pff!’
The young man in white had already been injured, but he forced himself to wield his sword and was struck by the Zhuque. His qi and blood were instantly disrupted, adding insult to injury.
Wiping the blood from his mouth, he looked at the heart of the river and the fragments of Xuan Bing under his feet. Finally, he recognized the situation. He forced down his injuries and bowed deeply. “Thank you all for your rescue. I am extremely grateful.”
Qin Sang's current face is completely different from when he was in Yun Ding City, so naturally, he wouldn't recognize him.
"Looking at you like this, I, the Suzaku, am too lazy to bother with you," Suzaku said with satisfaction, "Who beat you up like this"
The young man in white hesitated for a moment, sizing up Qin Sang and his group.
There are birds and horses, the young and the old, looking like a family going out for a trip.
Although that divine bird could speak human language, it wasn't necessarily a powerful demon in the transformation stage. Besides Emperor Liú Jiāng, there were also secret techniques and elixirs in the world that could help demonic beasts refine their horizontal bones.
"You wouldn't be cultivators practicing nearby, would you I was saved by all of you and should speak frankly. But my enemies are powerful and ruthless; I fear they might implicate you."

Zhuque let out a sneer.

Qin Sang wasn't interested in understanding his grievances. Although they were old acquaintances, it was merely a transaction.
"In the vicinity ahead, has anything major happened recently"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Big event"
The young man in white nodded, "There is indeed a strange event that has caused quite a stir. I don't know if it counts as a major event. Not long ago, there was a sudden clap of thunder, said to have shaken the three states, Yin, Lu, and Nanxu. All three states could hear it, but at that time all three states were clear skies. A bolt from the blue, it was definitely not natural thunder. Even stranger is that no one can say where the sound came from. Later, there were rumors that this thunderclap was a kind of omen, that an extraordinary treasure would appear in the three states. Many practitioners entered the three states to search for treasures, but so far no one has found the treasure. However, the rumors are becoming more and more prevalent..."
When did the thunder happen
Qin Sang's heart moved, and he hurriedly followed up.
Please note that the content between " > " was empty, so I only returned the HTML tag as requested.
Tai Yi also thought of it, his eyes flashing with excitement.
If the time of the thunderclap coincides with Qin Sang's activation of the three thunder platforms, it is very likely that a response was generated between the sub-altars and the main altar, causing this unusual phenomenon.
This proves that the main platform wasn't destroyed!

The young man in white robes was also within the borders of Sanzhou that day, and he distinctly heard the thunder.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
Upon inquiry, it turned out to be the same day indeed!
It truly is a beautiful surprise. Qin Sang nodded secretly, being able to confirm that the main altar was still around gave him confidence in his search.
This is a simple request.
When things weren't going well, he sent Taiyi back to urge the other altars. He stayed here to listen to the thunderclap, listening a few more times, and would definitely be able to find clues.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Zhuque couldn't wait, it was full of curiosity about everything, and this was no exception.
If the Leidan could allow Qin Sang to achieve instant success, possessing a merged entity would be the power of a Great Perfection. Then what would Yun Dutian and Luohun Abyss amount to
It can walk horizontally and is a bully everywhere, it can bully anyone it wants!
The crowd nodded to the young man in white, then immediately mounted their escaping lights, breaking through the air.
"Wait..."
The young man in white was taken aback by how swift and decisive these people were. He stared blankly at the departing light.
He hadn't had time to ask about these people's identities, let alone how he could repay them.
At this point, he realized he had even forgotten to introduce himself. The other person didn't know his name or family.
Our meeting was like a dream, a chance encounter.
The young man in white remained silent, thinking of the hatred he carried. He murmured, "Perhaps this is for the best... perhaps it is."
He took out the elixir and swallowed it, then disappeared into the deep mountains.

"No wonder I haven't seen the River God or the guards, they're probably all out looking for treasure..."
All raced along the riverbank, entering Yinzhou, one of the Three States.
After entering Yinzhou, Qin Sang quickly sensed the aura of cultivators. Both Taoist and Immortal cultivators were searching for something everywhere.
He made contact with some people, buying information with spirit stones. As the young man in white had said, no one could tell where the thunder came from.
Everyone was like headless flies, and if the thunder hadn't happened for real, many people would have given up long ago.
After some investigation, Qin Sang knew the terrain of the surrounding area.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In the time of Taiyi's arrival, there were no divisions into the three states of Yin, Lu, and Nan.
Yinchou and Lüzhou are situated one east and the other west, both along the Pingjiang River. The river flows through one state, and the capitals of both states are built on its banks.
>
The two states are strategically located and are among the most prosperous prefectures in Yan, second only to the capital city.
While the territory of Nan Shu Prefecture was the largest among the three, it was also the poorest. The land was mountainous and in the southern part of Nan Shu Prefecture bordered Yan State, leading to frequent friction and warfare.
All sides speculate that the most likely place for the treasure to appear is at the border of the three states.
That is now the busiest place, with people from all walks of life converging and mingling.
However, Qin Sang wasn't eager to join the fray. These people couldn't provide any more useful information.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Through three thunder formations, he deduced that the area was within the borders of Nanxu Prefecture, but the range was quite large, encompassing most of Nanxu Prefecture.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
Passing through Yinzhou, it obliquely enters Nanzhu State.
Qin Sang ordered Zhuque to fly low in the sky, sitting on its back. Tai Yi and others guarded him as he carefully searched.
This search lasted for three months, with no results.
"Could it be that the main altar is sealed"
Qin Sang pondered inwardly.
The main platform could give a response, but I couldn't sense anything on the sub-forum. Even after it fell silent, there wasn't the slightest hint of its energy leaking out.
If the main altar is sealed, then the seal must be formidable. It seems we'll have to ask Taiyi to make a trip.
Qin Sang drew three thunder talismans and gave them to Tai Yi, which could be considered the 'key' to the Thunder Altar.
Although Taiyi's cultivation was lacking, as the spirit of the thunder symbol, he only needed to activate three altars and wouldn't need to provoke more changes, so it was still possible.
Zhuque and Taiyi went together.
After they left, Qin Sang found himself on a mountain in the middle of Nanzhuzhou, waiting quietly.
Three states converge.
The passion for treasure hunting remains undimmed.
The celestial sect clans and the city gods of various prefectures have gathered here, nearly scouring this region bare.

It's not just a simple clap of thunder that drives so many cultivators mad.
And when the thunder roared, a tremor ran through my soul.
That kind of tremor disappears quickly. Ordinary people would overlook it, but cultivators wouldn't. The higher one's cultivation level, the more clearly they understand what it means.
The area of the search expanded gradually from the junction of three states outward.
Qin Sang coldly watched streaks of light darting across the sky, waiting for thunder to roar.
Before the third level of the Qi Refining period, although you only need to focus on accumulating true essence, you should also ponder the profound meaning of your cultivation method...
Yulang sat before Qin Sang, attentively listening to his master's teachings.
He has already entered the Dao and cultivated his first strand of spiritual energy during this period.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang wouldn't explain things too deeply, but he also wouldn't be too straightforward, leaving space for his disciples to think.
Feeling the internal flow of spiritual energy, bringing a surge of vitality, Yu Lang suddenly asked, "Master, isn't true qi different from spiritual energy"
When he was young, his father taught him martial arts and once said that if one cultivated true qi, they could be considered a first-rate warrior. Stepping into the Xiantian realm would make them an unparalleled master.
From then on, his goal was to cultivate true qi.
Now that I have been brought into the Immortal Path by my master, I've learned that so-called Innate experts may be able to kill Qi Refinement cultivators, but that is all they are capable of.
If cultivators of the Qi Refining stage master some powerful and strange incantations, using magic artifacts, even innate masters have little chance to resist.
Not to mention a stronger foundation-building and golden elixir stage.
Could it be that one's innate talent is the ultimate limit of martial arts, destined to make martial artists incomparable to cultivators
“True qi is the essence of a martial artist's blood and energy, gathered together with their tenacious will. Cultivators absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth to cultivate their spiritual power, but it also blends with their own spirit, energy, and consciousness.”
Qin Sang had also trained in martial arts, and while he hadn't been able to cultivate true qi, he had also pondered this issue.
The higher the cultivation level of the Heavenly Demon Forging Body technique, the deeper one's understanding becomes.
Qin Sang had a feeling that there was more than one way to go about this.
For example, the "Celestial Demon Refining Form" technique likely isn't purely about physical cultivation. The most important aspects of this method are cultivating a Dharma form and refining bloodline power.
Both of these, don't seem to be purely about enhancing physique.
Qin Sang's dharma appearance has not yet been fully realized, it is just some speculation and cannot be confirmed.
If one cultivates the Dharma Body (Fa Xiang Dao) to its peak, would it be a matter of simply abandoning one's physical body, taking all the essence, energy and spirit from it, and integrating it into the Dharma Body to reconstruct a new physical form
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Pure physical cultivation should be about constantly exploring the potential of the body, refining one's physique, and step by step reaching the peak. The physical body is the strongest weapon, and it will never be abandoned.
A martial artist is clearly different from someone who simply practices physical cultivation.
If you continue down the path of martial arts, will there be another, broader horizon
“There are three thousand avenues, and no small path. The martial path may not necessarily have no way forward; perhaps no one has been able to walk out yet…”
Qin Sang pondered for a moment, "Perhaps someone has already reached the peak of martial arts, but we haven't seen them yet. Perhaps my master and I haven't witnessed the true vastness of the world."
This is a test.
"The Pinnacle of Martial Arts."
Yulan seemed lost in thought.
Suddenly, Qin Sang stood up, his eyes gleaming, staring south.
Yulang, seeing the situation, knew it was time to get serious. He hurriedly put his thoughts aside and followed his master's gaze, but he couldn't feel anything, nor did he hear any thunder.
"Little Five, let's go. Lu Hou, you follow us."
Qin Sang led Xiao Wu and stepped out with one stride, his figure vanishing in an instant.
He urged his body forward, dashing south at full speed.
Although there was no thunder, he sensed a subtle fluctuation. If he hadn't personally repaired three Thunder Altars, he might have overlooked it.
It is obvious that Taiyi and Zhuque have already activated three sub-temples.
In the blink of an eye, after crossing countless mountains and rivers, Qin Sang discovered that the energy fluctuation was gradually accumulating.
The thunder must have been accumulated to its peak before it erupted.
At first, after Qin Sang activated three altars, he took his time to carefully comprehend their powers, taking quite a while to do so.
Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!
The fluctuations are becoming increasingly clear.
Finally, Qin Sang arrived nearby. The first thing he saw was a city, and the source of the fluctuation was in a mountain less than a hundred miles outside the city.
"Whoosh!"
Qin Sang descended from the sky, landing on the mountain. With a turn of his gaze, he immediately locked onto a Taoist temple on the front mountain.
The Taoist temple was in a state of extreme disrepair. The courtyard walls had collapsed, weeds grew from the cracks in the tiles, and the roof of the main hall had several holes. It was deserted and lacked both people and incense.
The fluctuations originate from the Taoist underground.
Qin Sang closed his eyes slightly, his divine sense probing into the ground, and soon a smile appeared on his face.
"Indeed there is a seal!"
The seal and the lightning altar are of the same origin, very likely left behind by the master of the lightning altar. For what purpose it was prepared remains unknown.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang used the earth escape technique to burrow underground, reaching the edge of the seal. After a little exploration, he figured out a way to break the seal.
Using his finger as a brush, he drew on the surface of the seal. Finally, with a forceful push of his palm...
'Poof!'
The seal is broken.
The energy that had been sealed away suddenly burst forth.
'Boom!'
The creatures within the Three States once again heard a bolt from the blue.
>
The roar of thunder wasn't just coming from within the seal, the magic formation inside seemed to resonate with heaven and earth!n't mean it's worry-free.Looking at the dense spatial cracks ahead, Qin Sang also felt a little uneasy.The magma inside is just as dangerous. The core of the ancient forbidden zone lies within the mag...
