Chapter 148: Cultivation Techniques are Tools

nd he didn't want to recklessly charge in and risk his life to test Ye Lao Mo's strength.Qin Sang had always been decisive. Immediately, she drew her sword and changed direction, charging towards Jian...The killing path encompasses all things, and there are countless paths within it.

Qin Sang didn't know the correct path of cultivating a primordial spirit and nurturing a sword. Even every cultivator's choice might be different.

When the predecessor, Qingzhu, practiced this technique, he may have immersed himself in the path of killing for the sake of understanding the Killing Talisman. He might have slain anyone regardless of their gender, age, cultivation level or status - cultivators or mortals alike. This ultimately led him down the path of demonic cultivation. Perhaps he actively sought out dangerous situations, pushing himself to the brink of death and emerging reborn. He may have eradicated all fear from his heart, understanding that killing others was also killing a part of himself. He could have been a lone swordsman, traveling the world with his sword, seeking enlightenment through his thoughts. Or he might have believed in ending violence through more violence.However, this was definitely not his path.

If the Jade Buddha does not protect one's primordial spirit and prevent killing intent from corroding it, during a battle, meditating on killing talismans could lead to disaster. Once overtaken by killing intent, losing one's rationality, unable to calmly analyze the situation, and having only "kill, kill, kill" in mind would put oneself in an extremely dangerous predicament.

Qin Sang also spent a long time thinking before deciding to try this.

If it works, this is undoubtedly the best path for him.

In his view, the Yuanshen Yangjian chapter was just a tool to help him improve his cultivation. With Senior Qingzhu's example in front of him, even with his inferior aptitude, he could see a glimmer of hope in forming a golden core. He chose this technique because of that, not out of yearning for the path of killing, nor did he have much feeling about it.

His only obsession was immortality.

If possible, Qin Sang would absolutely not want to be forced to change his style and principles because of cultivating martial arts.

Just as he was willing to be the furnace for laying the foundation, no matter what choice he made, he followed his own heart, rather than living in a daze. Only then could he live without regrets. Of course, if he was desperate, that's a different story.

The killing intent in the sword qi grew stronger, but Qin Sang remained as calm as ever. There was no fluctuation within him. He was merely using the killing intent of the talisman to simulate a battlefield and test its effectiveness against real combat.

Qin Sang's spirit and the Wumu sword were connected, the spiritual sword's killing intent surged to the sky, fiercely stabbing towards the white rhinoceros demon beast, sword qi like a knife.

The disciples of the Spirit Stone Mine waited anxiously for a day and night. At first, they saw a streak of light flash across the night sky. Then, the Yuncang Great Marsh surged with waves, and the island where the Spirit Stone Mine was located also trembled. It could be seen that the battle in the distance was extremely fierce.

But when daybreak came, there was no more sound. Uncle Qin didn't return either.

Without Qin Sang's signal, they dared not open the grand formation, nor did they dare to go out and check what had become of the battle situation. Had the demonic beasts won, or had their fellow senior uncle triumphed Shen Youdao flew in mid-air, sticking to the light shield of the grand formation, his eyes widened as he stared intently at the line where water met sky, praying over and over for Senior Uncle Qin to return, even if he was missing an arm or a leg, it would be good enough if he escaped back alive.

When dawn arrived, and Uncle Qin hadn't returned, he sought help from his sect.

Shen Youdao was restless and his voice was a bit hoarse.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

A Foundation Establishment cultivator, facing a newly awakened monster, shouldn't even lack the ability to escape, right What if Master Qin fell to the monster, and they, as disciples, remained holed up within the formation and didn't help They would surely be punished severely by their sect. He was already quite old and had long since abandoned his pursuit of immortality. He originally planned to gather some wealth in the spirit stone mine, return home, marry a few beautiful wives, enjoy life with his grandchildren, and live comfortably for decades. He never expected such a twist of fate.

Suddenly, a gigantic figure appeared at the end of his vision, flying through the air. It was the ferocious White Rhinoceros Demon Beast. "It's over,"

Shen Youdao's heart skipped a beat, his eyes widened, and he almost fainted.

At that moment, someone from below suddenly cheered, "Uncle Qin won! He killed the evil demon!"

"Hmm"

Shen Youdao was already considering finding a woman to carry on the incense, when he heard this, he hurriedly widened his eyes. This was when he realized there was a figure under Bai Xi Yao's enormous body. If it wasn't Shi Shu Qin, then who else could it beIt turned out that the demon beast had been lifted single-handedly by Shi Shu Qin, and was already lifeless. He was too concerned and confused, failing to see clearly earlier.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

“Quick, set up the formation and welcome Master Qin!”

Shen Youdao laughed so hard his mouth couldn't close.

Only to see Master Qin's speed was extremely fast, he flew to the sky above the island in a blink of an eye. Shen Youdao opened his mouth, just about to compliment him, when a voice came from above, "You have seen clearly, this demon has been slain by me. You should report the news to your sect and then take good care of the spirit mine, do not slack off."

After saying that, Qin Sang put the white rhinoceros demon beast's corpse into his pouch and left amidst a crowd of disappointed gazes.

Although the White Rhinoceros Demon Beast was trapped by the Ten Directions Yama Array, giving them a head start, its water manipulation abilities were formidable, and its thick skin and flesh made it incredibly tough to break through. This battle was quite arduous.

This is a test. Let me know if you have any other requests!

Moreover, Qin Sang used it to comprehend the sword talismans and deliberately engaged in a stalemate with the white rhinoceros demon beast, grinding for a full day. Only when the white rhinoceros demon beast was covered in wounds and exhausted did he deliver the fatal blow. This also consumed a considerable amount of spirit stones and elixir for Qin Sang.

After World War I, Qin Sang had a sense of accomplishment in his heart. His understanding of the killing talisman deepened by another layer. He felt that the bottleneck in front of him was only a thin film away, and it would break with just a poke. This proved that this path was feasible.

But Qin Sang understood in his heart that the first killing talisman was just the introduction to the entire set of techniques, guiding practitioners to choose a path that suited them. That's why it was so easy to comprehend; the subsequent stages would certainly not be this simple.

With a flash of light, Qin Sang's journey was directed towards the lair of the serpent demon.

Qin Sang sealed the white rhinoceros demon beast's body with a restriction to contain its blood qi. He didn't dismember it to collect spiritual materials because he planned to use the white rhinoceros demon beast as bait to see if he could lure the snake demon out.

For demonic beasts, the corpse of another demonic beast of the same demon spirit stage is a great tonic, especially a fresh corpse with abundant blood qi, it is absolutely a huge temptation.

A few days later, Qin Sang's figure quietly appeared on a dangerous peak.

The cliff extended from the surface of the water, as sharp and rugged as a blade carved by an axe. Qin Sang's figure flashed, appearing at a massive cave on the peak. It was here in this cave that Wang Shixiong found the snake skin.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Even after so long, the cave still holds a lingering, pungent stench.

Qin Sang pondered for a moment, setting up the Ten Directions Yama Array in front of the cave. Then, he took out a lot of demonic blood from the white rhinoceros demon beast's corpse and sprinkled half into the water. He continued sprinkling it intermittently until it reached the inside of the cave. Finally, he placed the white rhinoceros demon beast's corpse there, using only a crude barrier of water to block the entrance to his dwelling. The aura of the great demon instantly dissipated.

Then Qin Sang slipped into the shadows, waiting quietly.

Suddenly, water splashed beneath the peak as a giant wave materialized out of nowhere. It crashed against the cliff, and then the surface returned to stillness. A long white shape could be faintly seen flashing by before disappearing back into the depths.

After the white rhinoceros demon beast's aura dissipated, it took a full half day for the snake demon to appear. This demon was very cautious and did not directly break into the cave dwelling, but every one or two hours, it would stir up trouble.

This snake demon probably has a high intelligence.

Qin Sang remained composed, his heart secretly churning. ,,,
