Chapter 1601: The Grand Gathering Begins
anner moved, soul threads formed a net, and ten thousand ghosts cried together.Suddenly, a sinister chill filled the stone slab, as if it were from hell.And he seemed like a ghost-wrangler, the King o...Wearing the Bloodcroc bone gauntlets, he controlled a beast as real as any.
A menacing aura constantly assaulted the manipulator.
To control the crocodile's bone, this is inevitable, cannot be erased, must bear this drawback.
Of course, with Qin Sang's cultivation level, suppressing the Blood Crocodile Bone Hand wouldn't be a problem.
Remember
Qin Sang looked sideways at Shen Chen.
Shen Chen was stunned by the ferocious aura emanating from the Blood Crocodile Bone Hand, he swallowed hard and hurriedly nodded.
Qin Sang nodded, put away the treasure, left Feiyundao, and in order to save time, directly flew with Shen Chen back to Pushan.
He brought Shen Chen back to the Xie residence and found him a loft in the Qingxu Fantasy Realm.
From now on, you will cultivate your skills here. Do not leave unless absolutely necessary until you have achieved sufficient mastery! If you need anything, ask Xie An to arrange it for you.
When Shen Chen heard this, his face fell. He dared not disobey Qin Sang's order and repeatedly agreed, thinking to himself, "If I can't go out, then I won't. This is such a good cave dwelling, with someone attending to me. It's an environment that countless people dream of."
He is also patient enough to be alone, otherwise it would be impossible for him to master the art of refining artifacts, and he still has the cultivation base of the middle stage of Golden Core.

Qin Sang instructed Xie An to take Shen Chen to practice cultivation, then turned and entered his cave abode.
Inside the grotto.
The avatar draws a constant stream of cold, sinister energy from the mysterious ice disk.
Upon sensing the arrival of its true form, the avatar interrupted its cultivation. The second primordial infant flew out from the top of its head and retreated into the body of the main self, being nurtured at the same time. At this point, the true form also became aware of the progress of the avatar.

After a moment, a look of surprise flashed across this deity's eyes.
The progress of the incarnation is a bit slower than expected, and the Ice Soul Divine Light has not yet been cultivated to completion.

However, the reason is not that we've hit a bottleneck.
In fact, after the avatar began absorbing the cold and evil energy, coupled with its previous deep accumulation, the progress of this magical skill was very smooth.
It took so long again because during the cultivation of Taoism, the avatar and the mysterious ice tray spent time together day and night, leading to new discoveries.
Having obtained the mysterious ice disk, Qin Sang had a thought: since this treasure could assist in cultivating the "Ice Soul Divine Light," would it also be helpful for his incarnation's cultivation techniques
With this idea in mind, I put it to the test during my cultivation practice, and unexpectedly, there was progress!
He first absorbed the Bing Po Gang Ying, then refined two Kan Shen Zhu. During these years of seclusion, his main body had also been cultivating on and off, reaching the peak of the Yuan Ying mid-stage.
It is different from the incarnation and glass.
Liuli Xiu's cultivation had reached its peak, but due to the influence of a sinister technique, his mind was unstable and he was unable to break through. After Bing Po sealed his emotions, his own path and the Bing Po divine light became inextricably linked. At the moment when his divine abilities were complete, he suppressed his inner demons and forcibly broke through.
Speaking of, the best app for reading and listening to audiobooks at the moment is the "Source App", or "huan yuan app". Install the latest version.
For avatars, Ice God's Light is merely a technique.
Qin Sang knew that the late stage of Yuanying was a major hurdle, and he didn't expect his avatar to break through quickly. He planned to focus on his main body first and slowly find opportunities for his avatar. Unexpectedly, he got an opportunity from the mysterious ice tray.
>
As expected of a treasure brought into the tomb by the Water Phase Master, the mysterious ice disc is indeed an extraordinary artifact!
Of course, the current incarnation's perception is just an opportunity. One must wait until they have refined the *Bing Po Shen Guang* and have a certain degree of control over the cold and murderous energy before they can deduce the techniques and unravel the clues.
In the next few years, Qin Sang's main body also remained in the Qingxu Illusory Realm.
He had secluded himself for seven years.
My main body and my avatar are inseparable from the cave.
Two figures sat facing each other inside the grotto. A mysterious ice disc hovered near one of them, a Tianmu Butterfly resting beside the other, the aroma of demonic fire and dragon essence alternating in the air.
Each of the three focuses on their own path, unmoved by anything else.
For seven years, the scene has remained virtually unchanged.
>
Suddenly, the deity seemed to sense something and abruptly opened his eyes, a brilliant light flashing within them. He stared intently at the hands of his avatar.
Then the Tianmu butterfly finally sensed something, like waking from a dream. It glanced at its transformed form in confusion, instinctively flapping its wings and rubbing against Qin Sang's original body before focusing again on refining the energy of the near-dragon essence.
Heisha's hands unknowingly came to rest on his knees, palms cupped like the moon, gathering Bing Po Shen Guang's power in his palms. The energy surged, rising with a thick cloud of chilling mist.
If Qin Sang had seen the appearance of Lu Li when breaking through, he could tell the difference at a glance.
The commotion caused by the creation of the glazed glass was far less than that of the incarnation, with only a layer of cold air.
At this time, the avatar's body was almost entirely enveloped by a heavy layer of cold mist, his figure nearly invisible. Part of the mist was caused by the Bing Po Divine Light affecting the environment, while the majority was the Qi of Cold煞 manifested!
As time passed, the avatar gradually gathered the cold mist, finally all returning to the palm and merging with the icy divine light.
He held in his hand a snow-white ice ball, perfectly transparent.
>
Holding a snowball as white as snow, the avatar muttered a mystical incantation. The mysterious ice rink trembled slightly, and wisps of frigid killing intent rose from within, drifting towards the avatar.
To be precise, it was the ice puck that drifted into the avatar's hand and merged seamlessly within.
Since seclusion, the movements of the avatar have always been very cautious. This is the first time so brutal, a large amount has attracted a lot of cold aura.
The temperature inside the cave suddenly dropped, plunging into extreme cold.
‘Snoring…’
The wind howled.
This one didn't feel a sharp chill. The voice came from the ice ball in its avatar's hand.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At this moment, a miniature blizzard of frigid air formed within the ice sphere, brimming with an immense and violent power. Should it explode, it would be enough to obliterate the entire cave!
In a short while, the surface of the puck warped and twisted, gradually transforming into a white cyclone. A powerful aura of frigid killing intent was bound within the cyclone, its instability palpable to the naked eye.
In this situation, the avatar continued to move, focusing intently on the vortex in their hand, constantly integrating more cold and malevolent qi.
The wind grew sharper, echoing in the small cave.
The cyclone's spiral arms begin to overflow with frigid air, a sign of imminent collapse!
Finally, the avatar let out a low roar, his internal qi surging, and the cyclone suddenly contracted!
A breathtaking scene unfolded. The raging energy, on the verge of explosion, was forcibly compressed, shrinking from the size of a palm to a white pinpoint that suddenly vanished into his body.
The next moment, the avatar's body trembled, and an unusual cold light burst from the depths of its eyes.
This deity will shift their gaze to the avatar's face, ready for anything.
Only the aura of the incarnation rose and fell, as if there were turbulent waves inside his body. The coldness in his eyes grew more intense until they turned completely white, like being sealed by an ice curse.
'Phew...'

After a moment of silence, Hua Chang let out a long breath, the cold light in his eyes quickly dissipated, returning to its original state, and his breath also calmed down.
>
Upon seeing this scene, This Venerable One's expression softened and a smile appeared.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Ice Soul Divine Light is finally complete!
After the breathing exercise, his avatar returned to its original state. He awoke from meditation and walked out of the cave with his true self. Silently chanting incantations, white cold light surged in his eyes, and his pupils turned ghastly white in an instant.
...and just the same as before.
"Whoosh!"
A point of white light suddenly appeared in the void, bursting instantly and freezing a large area of space.
The frozen area was filled with a heavy chill, the aura so powerful that even Shen Chen, who was cultivating on the other side of the ethereal realm, could sense it.
The avatar and the deity looked at each other.
The Ice God's Light was indeed a completely different sight. It lost its original stealth, but the speed of its burst surpassed that of Glass and its power was even stronger.
The advantages and disadvantages are balanced.
>
Next.
The incarnation continues to retreat in the Pure Void Illusionary Realm.
Qin Sang originally planned to wait until his avatar was refined into the Ice Soul Divine Light, greatly increasing his strength, and then let his avatar go out and contact the Gu Shen Sect with the Gu Shen Order.
Since we have sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough, of course we should make cultivation our priority.
With sufficient strength, there is no need to be too cautious, making actions more convenient.
After refining the essence of dragon's tears and demon fire, my celestial eyes butterfly and incarnation both broke through. Together with my incarnation, we wield two top-tier divine abilities and control powerful artifacts. We are cultivators at the peak level.
Below the realm of Divine Transformation, there is no equal!
This temptation is one that no one can refuse, unless there are new developments in the few things they care most about. Otherwise, Qin Sang's choice would definitely be to continue his seclusion.
After the completion of 《Ice Soul Divine Light》, the incarnation devoted all its energy to cultivation, starting anew by meticulously studying the , seeking points where martial arts and cold and vicious qi aligned, hoping to uncover a breakthrough.
>
This deity occasionally goes out to guide Shen Chen and maintain contact with the Six Prefecture Hall.
After talking with Qin Sang at night, Mu Tongshu secretly mobilized the power of Liuzhoutang to investigate the origin of the meteorite fragments.
However, the Hungry Ghost Festival is approaching gradually. As a Chamber of Commerce, Liujizhou Tang has to devote all its manpower to prepare for this grand event and cannot spare many people for the investigation, so there has been little progress.
Qin Sang knew she couldn't rush him, so she didn't urge him and turned her attention to the Hungry Ghost Festival instead.
This Hungry Ghost Festival will not only stir the hearts of cultivators in the Central Plains, but also from the North Wilderness to the Western Desert. The entire cultivation world will have its eyes on Jinyu Prefecture.
In the world of cultivators, stability was never the norm.
Although the absence of a Divine Transformation cultivator didn't shake the status of the Eight Scenic Views and the Ganlu Zen Temple, nor did it change the overall situation in Central Plains, it inevitably caused ripples.
Unknown how many conspirators lurk in the shadows.
All sorts of chaos will occur.
This is exactly the opportunity Qin Sang has been waiting for.
When the time is right, my true self and avatars will appear, able to plan strategically and shake the world!
Spring goes and autumn comes.
Even the grasses and trees in the ethereal realm of Qingxu undergo seasonal changes, experiencing growth and decay.
No matter how the Immortal Cultivation world changes, it doesn't affect the small Floating Drift County for now. The Xie family and Loutai Pavilion help each other and thrive.
>
The strength of Pushan and Loutai Guan was increasing day by day. With new disciples achieving the Dan stage, whenever someone was nearing a breakthrough, they would be sent to Qingxu Fantasy Realm.
They knew this was the place where their ancestors meditated, so they were apprehensive and very curious about the two forbidden areas of this ethereal realm.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
One is Qin Sang's cave dwelling.
Another is Shen Chen's attic, which only allows Xie An access.
Qin Sang didn't want to be associated with his true body and avatar for now.
"If only things could stay this peaceful forever!"
>
Most disciples thought this way, but from time to time, news of atrocities coming from the north reminded them that slaughter was still out there, it had just not reached Pushan yet.
"...almost forgot the Hungry Ghost Festival..."
A slight sigh echoed within the cave dwelling.
Qin Sang's true self woke up from meditation and put away the fire lotus and magic banner.
The Tiān Mù Butterfly, having lost its source of Qín Lóng Xiàn energy, awoke with a gentle shake and transformed into an ordinary butterfly, retreating into Qin Sang's dantian.
Well, time flies. The Hungry Ghost Festival is just around the corner.
He turned his head and glanced at the transformed being.
His avatar was still diligently studying the martial arts techniques. Threads of icy killing qi swirled around his fingertips, more substantial than when he first went into seclusion over a decade ago. However, it still lacked the final spark.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This deity is the same, having only refined nearly half of the dragon's essence.
So, during this time, eBay and the auction, he didn't participate in any of them.
However, the Hungry Ghost Festival is not to be missed, Qin Sang is preparing to go early.
Stepping out of the cave, he called for Xie An.
"Did nobody from the Shan faction come" Qin Sang asked.
Xie An shook his head, "Recently, my disciple inquired with other sects in Zhuozhou, but none could get in touch with the Unreading Mountain."
Qin Sang was a little surprised, "What are Si Tu Yu and Lu Zhang doing Doesn't Nian Shan really want to retreat for a hundred years, completely giving up the benefits at the Hungry Ghost Festival"
He originally wanted to have his avatar attend the Hungry Ghost Festival with Bu Nian Shan, posing as the ancestor of the Xie family to make it appear legitimate.
Bùnián shān zhíyì fēng shān, huà shēn dú xíng, kǒng pà huì bèi bùn nián shān de duì tóu dīng shàng, shǎo bù liáo qǐng tiào xìn.
...had to change to using my own connections and channels through Liuzhou Hall.
To avoid being robbed and killed halfway again, Qin Sang this time also interrupted the cultivation of his avatar. The second Yuanying retreated into his main body, setting off together.
He didn't rush to Jin Yu Zhou, he went to Fei Yun Du first.
It so happened that Jiang Mu was also at Feiyundao.
The moment their eyes met, a smile couldn't help but bloom on Jiang Mu's face.
Elder Qin arrives early, but it's even better that he arrived at the right time! We just happen to have a batch of treasures inside, ready to be transported to Jin Yu Prefecture for auction. The three hall masters are all busy and unable to spare any hands...and things in the north aren't very peaceful right now!
Qin Sang chuckled softly, "Jiang ge wouldn't be waiting for me all the time, would he"
Jiang Mu sighed, "This world is indeed more chaotic than before. I've been feeling uneasy lately! Even during the most stable periods, the Chamber of Commerce has been robbed several times. The most vicious time, not only were the goods stolen, but over a hundred people on board were silenced. The Guild Master was furious and personally took action, chasing into the Western Desert, killing all the bandits and deterring the Zhongzhou region!"
Liuzhou Tang was the most unwilling to see the stability of the Central Plains broken.
As they talked, they flew towards the treasure ship docked on the north bank of Feiyundao.
"This year's Hungry Ghost Festival, will the process be any different" Qin Sang glanced westward, towards the direction of Ganlu Zen Monastery.
In past sessions of the legal meeting, the process has been largely similar.
If this sudden change is anything to go by, Kannon-ji Temple must have ulterior motives.
"It's a bit different from before."
Jiang Mu thought Qin Sang was concerned about the possibility of a trade, so he explained carefully.
This Dharma Assembly will have two major auctions, held three days before and after the assembly. Both are spearheaded by Jinyumen, who are known for their wealth and generosity. It is rumored that they will be putting up many rare treasures, so it's not to be missed.
Therefore, there were no major auctions before the first one. Everyone was busy preparing for it.
> Three days after the first auction ended, the real ceremony began. The process remained the same as always: competitions in talismans and artifacts, debates on scriptures, etc. These were things we had little to do with, so we just treated it as a spectacle.
During the days of the Dharma Assembly, there was an evening gathering every night called Yi Bao Hui. At that time, Deputy Grand Master Jiang You would organize a list.
>
The headmaster of this temple hopes that Elder Qin will come forward and intimidate the villains at this meeting of treasures.
"This year's Dharma Assembly is also a bit special. Rumors of the missing deity have been circulating for many years, and there may be hidden forces reemerging into the world. It is estimated that not only will people trade treasures at the Easy Treasure Gathering, but there will also be covert connections made. Elder Qin, if he doesn't want to get caught up in the storm, shouldn't make any promises lightly..."slate!Qin Sang and the others successfully rushed to the center of the beam of light, clearly seeing the door inside.This is an entrance large enough to accommodate a dozen people walking side by side...
