Chapter 1698: Passing On the Teachings
ree smile.Only Shi Xue knows the whereabouts of Liuli.The content you provided is:> After removing the >, we are left with:>>>. This appears to be HTML code, specifically a closing paragraph tag ()...That moment.
The entire galaxy is twinkling for them.
Those gazing at the night sky may have seen something unusual, unaware that someone was traversing the void, mistaking it for their own delusion.
Qin Sang gazed at the glittering night sky, then turned her eyes to the empty altar.
Logically speaking, resolving this five-hundred-year-old obsession should have brought immense relief, yet Qin Sang felt as if she were waking from a dream. She fell silent for a long time.
That chill lingered for a long time.
The feeling at this moment might be something I can never forget.
Recalling the Ghost Mother's final words, Qin Sang murmured to himself.
>
"Fireflies..."
She really turned into a firefly and flew away!
There are still fat silkworms.
Now, all that remains by his side is the poison pearl, the last vestige of the bond that sustained them for five hundred years, a testament to the passage of time.
Qin Sang stepped onto the altar step by step.
At first glance, the altar seemed unchanged. Only then did Qin Sang realize that the power of the grand formation on the altar had been depleted when the ritual dance was completed. Now it was just an ordinary earthen platform.
The spirit liquid in the spring pond had also lost all its spirituality.
Here is the translation:

The Ghost Mother's physical body still stood there, maintaining its last pose.
> No specific mention was made of this physical body by the Ghost Mother.
Qin Sang looked up and down, discovering that his physical skin was rapidly losing its luster. The dry skin was covered with Wuzhu divine patterns, seemingly not as simple as possessing a body. He had been refined by the Ghost Mother using Wuzhu secret arts.
It doesn't seem impressive.
Qin Sang pressed his palm down, and the ground shook with a 'rumble'. The earthen platform, the spring pool, and even Gui Mu's physical body sank into the earth together, erasing all traces.
After a last glance, Qin Sang leaped and fled, returning to Luye. His transformation quickly returned with his people.
Ming Yuewei was completely unaware of what had happened, feeling rather confused.
Qin Sang left with the order to return to Behuang, then went back into seclusion in his cave dwelling.
This time, he didn't meditate. He was going to carefully organize his harvest from the Wu Xiang Xian Men. After leaving Wu Xiang Xian Men, he had been busy with healing and Liúyíng's ascension, so he hadn't had a chance to sort things out properly.
At first, he didn't care much for the low-level martial arts techniques, spells, and Taoist arts he had acquired in the Lingguan Jade Pavilion. However, since he had decided to establish Qingyang Guan in Zhongzhou, these were perfectly suitable for his disciples to cultivate.
Thinking of this, Qin Sang took out some blank jade slips and inscribed all the other books he had obtained.
There are three lineages of transmission: the Water, Gold, and Wood phases.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Water transmission is the most complete, including Bingyi Palace and Xueyuan Tomb, of course, there is also overlap, and there are also Dan Dao transmissions such as Boiling Snow Pill recipe.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Secondly, there is the lineage of Mu Xiang. There are several schools of transmission and top-level techniques like *Mú Huáng Cè* and the divine power *Hòu Tiān Mù Rén Bēi*. There is also a complete inheritance of refining tools.
>
The Jindjianli records the Jinxiang lineage sword array.
Besides, there are also various fragments obtained at the top of the Lingguan Yuge.
Most of the martial arts and Taoist techniques are not suitable for Qin Sang, so they can only be used as references. But leaving them to Qingyang Guan can greatly enrich its inheritance, after all, they are all top-tier in the world.
Adding to the Behai's several excellent lineages, it is unknown if future disciples will become too picky when entering the sect.
Qin Sang only realized this later. Accepting so many favors from the Wu Xiang Xian Men, she could barely even call Qing Yang Guan a small branch of the Wu Xiang Xian Men.
After sorting these items, Qin Sang put them aside. Then, he took out the treasures he had fished up from the treasure pool: a piece of jade related to the , the Yingying Sword, the Broken Drum, and a scroll rolled into a painting.
Qin Sang obtained these four treasures purely by chance, some were broken and others had unknown origins. He now had time to ponder them deeply, but was still stumped. He didn't want to waste any more energy, so he put them all away.
Later on, his skill in refining artifacts greatly improved, and there might be a turning point.
Of course, the most important parts are Chapters Eleven and Twelve of , which correspond to the Nascent Soul Stage and the Void Refinement Stage respectively. Qin Sang's cultivation base hasn't reached those levels yet, so he could only skim through them superficially.
What shocked Qin Sang the most was the changes that occurred to the seven killing talismans as his realm ascended.
Before reaching the Yuan Ying stage, cultivators' primary task was to refine killing talismans. Later in the Jindan stage, they would split a total of seven sword lights, which Qin Sang called Sword Souls.
To enter the Nascent Soul stage, one must cast the killing talisman on their natal spirit sword onto the seven sword souls, and then merge these sword souls with their own seven souls.
And all of this is laying the groundwork for what's to come.
As one's cultivation level advances, practitioners can gradually split out seven sword spirits. Each sword spirit embodies the essence of sword intent, solely dedicated to the path of the sword.
The Seven Blades of Soul, in conjunction with the wielder's own spirit sword, form the Seven Souls Killing Array, the true pinnacle of swordsmanship!
Of course, these are still some distance from Qin Sang.
With anticipation, Qin Sang turned his gaze to other treasures.
And there are the ice-based divine disk, fire rhinoceros amulet, and ice-fire decree related to the tribulation formation.
With a slight movement of his mind, he transformed into a figure and pushed open the door. He picked up the Ice Spirit Orb and Fire Rhinoceros Talisman, along with a large amount of spiritual materials, preparing to set up a spirit-nurturing array for the treasure.
These two battle formations are not complicated. Qin Sang had already chosen the location at Luye.
Then came the spoils of battle with the ogre-faced man.
Tian Linglong's nascent spiritual embryo, he temporarily didn't prepare to move.

The Wooden Armor has already been given to the avatar for refining as a protective treasure.
The Gu King was soothed into slumber by the Ghost Mother's secret arts, needing no constant vigilance. All that remained was for Qin Sang to finish refining the poison pill before she could begin devouring it.

Last is the shard of the Red Xuan Ancient Tree.
This treasure is heavily damaged and cannot be used to cultivate the . It will be kept for refining artifacts in the future. As Qin Sang would not abandon his external avatar, if he wants to cultivate this technique, he must find another support object.
Though Hoshi Island yielded the fewest treasures, it provided the greatest assistance on Mount Teishu.
Please note that I only translated the content within the > tags. I did not translate the html tags themselves.
The Mani bead is undoubtedly a treasure of defense, containing the essence of demonic fire.
The Fire Jade Centipede has been sleeping ever since it left its dwelling. Once all the frozen fire spirits have been consumed, its cultivation will surely advance greatly.
>
On Mount Disu, despite numerous twists and turns, the harvest was undoubtedly abundant.

Fire Rhinoceros Pendant, Relics of Gods, Daoist Rhymes, Five Element Pills...
Having a foundation of artifacts from the witch clan's deification, and later cultivating the "Pan Hu Zhen Jing" scripture to elevate one's Heavenly Eye Butterfly realm, things will become much easier.
In Qin Sang's eyes, the value of the Five Elements Pill was second only to the subsequent techniques. It was just that the future transactions might still have some twists and turns.
Su Zinan's belongings also made Qin Sang a fortune. As expected of a descendant of a Nascent Soul cultivator, his treasures were numerous. Just the spirit stones alone were enough to support the development of an entire sect.
The freakish man seemed much less wealthy, but with his cultivation level, he had once gathered some heaven and earth treasures.
Those of high value remain, the rest are given to the avatar, to be used later in developing the sect.
Not all of what remains can be used, in the future they can be taken out to exchange for treasures he needs to support his cultivation. After dealing with the trivial matters, Qin Sang was about to enter seclusion, focusing on pushing through to the late stage.
The Wuzizi Jade Bi Dao Yun and Buddha bone relics have cleared much of the dust from his path.
This is a test.
The Three Corpse Death God Banner, now perhaps called the One Corpse Death God Banner is more appropriate. Su Zinan has integrated the demon soul and is still recovering. Qin Sang is currently refining it and preparing to give it to his avatar after the Qian Huan Mirror is repaired.
The Qian Huan Mirror has slight damage, but it is not difficult to repair.
Afterward, the avatar gained three powerful treasures: the wooden armor, the Thousand-Horizon Mirror, and the Demon Banner. Its strength skyrocketed to a new level, and it was likely that even ordinary great cultivators wouldn't be a match for the avatar.
This is still based on the premise that there has been no breakthrough in incarnation.
...Even before the battle of the Wuxiang Immortal Sect, his incarnation had reached a bottleneck, sensing the opportunity for a breakthrough. Advancement to the late Nascent Soul stage was imminent.
>
Incarnation breakthrough, assisting the Heavenly Eye Butterfly to advance, and refining the essence of the demonic fire.
These are Qin Sang's next goals.
Also, things like comprehending the inheritance of the Wuxiang Immortal Sect, refining the Taiji Immortal Platform, and forging the Binghuo Order are all essential tasks.
Overwhelmed with work, Qin Sang had avatars to share the burden, but also a feeling of being stretched too thin.
And another most important matter, to trade with Mo Xingdao for the Lingxi Immortal Fruit!
Su Zinan controlled some subordinates in the Northern Waste through the Moon Guard. Qin Sang integrated those subordinates. During their time drifting in the Northern Waste, a steady stream of intelligence was sent up.
Qin Sang closely followed the movements of Ganlu Chan Temple, trying to find clues and track down Mo Xindao's whereabouts.
However, it is unknown what exactly the Wise Light Saint was planning. Since Yu Zongzhu entered the Ghost Rock Plateau, the Qinghu Saint King, and the three major sects of Dao, Buddha, and Demon have not left.
Even those who had participated in the War Against Demons, such as Elder Fan, King of Poisons, and Yue Lingtian, have never appeared outside.
Mo Xindao may still be left at the ancestral home.
Qin Sang had already sent a member of the Nethermoon Guard to infiltrate their designated meeting place, waiting for Mo Xingdao.

All done.
He sheathed his treasures and turned to leave.
Then Qin Sang left the cave dwelling after a moment's pause.
His cave dwelling was located deep within a bamboo forest. It was originally where Su Zi'nan had used to refine the Three Corpse Demonic God Banner. Now, the ominous atmosphere had been cleared away, replaced by swirling fairy mist, giving it the air of a true immortal's abode.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
After taking a few steps, Qin Sang heard a hissing sound.
The snake cave is still in its original location. Some of the Earthbound Dragons raised by Su Zinan are still capable, Qin Sang is not planning on using them to refine treasures through bone extraction, keeping them as guardians of the mountain would be a good idea, but first, they need to have their ferocity tamed.
> Walking out of the bamboo forest.
The sea of flowers outside is still there, but after Shen Chen's careful makeover, it has lost its gaudy air and gained a sense of natural harmony, perfectly aligning with Qin Sang's wishes.
Even this cheap apprentice knows how to flatter his master
Qin Sang smiled faintly, flew towards the other side of the flower sea, and soon saw several newly built huts at the foot of the mountain, with Shen Chen's voice lecturing.
In a bamboo pavilion, Shen Chen sat at the head, speaking of extremely basic content, the kind that only those who had just begun their cultivation would listen to.
Thanks and Zhou Li was listening intently.
Behind them, several beautiful women were also sitting cross-legged, all looking very serious.
Qin Sang fell beside the bamboo pavilion, but no one inside noticed.
At this moment, a woman carrying a bamboo tray with a pot of spirit tea and jade cups hurried over from the path. Upon seeing Qin Sang, she was taken aback, letting out an "ah!" Her arm trembled, nearly sending the items on the tray flying.
“The slave greets my lord!”
The woman knelt on the ground, her voice trembling.
The sermon in the hall came to a sudden halt. Shen Chen darted out, saw Qin Sang, and hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects. Xie Yi, Zhou Li, and the other women also rushed out, falling to their knees all at once. Some called him "Grandmaster," some "Master," it was quite chaotic.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When Qin Sang looked at those women, Shen Chen felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Reporting to Master, Su Zinan's demonic concubines are not all willing. After careful screening by the disciples, most of them have had their memories erased and have been sent home safely. There are a few who have no home to go to. They testified that they were forcibly taken by him, begged the disciples, wanting to stay in Luye until old age. The disciple thought of Master's entrustment, if he left them behind rashly, it might cause disaster, but he didn't dare to make his own decisions to keep them. He was just waiting for Master to leave the customs and then deal with them."

"You're quite the compassionate one, aren't you"
Qin Sang's tone gave nothing away.
Shen Chen was extremely nervous.
"Deer Park can still afford to keep a few people, and there's no harm in letting them stay. The mundane affairs of the monastery also need someone to take care of them. As for these..."
Qin Sang looked at the several women who were listening.
Sub-nan Su had chosen concubines with a very high proportion of spiritual roots. They were all newly acquired and hadn't been practicing cultivation for long, so their realms weren't high.
Several women were terrified and uneasy.
If they harbor ill intentions, Qin Sang's discerning eyes will see through them.
"For those with exceptional aptitude and potential, they may be considered as registered disciples."
The beauties all withdraw.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Qin Sang led Shen Chen and his two disciples toward the summit, where a Taoist temple had already been built according to Qin Sang's orders.
The Taoist temple was very simply furnished, and there were no spirit tablets on the altar. Shen Chen and his two disciples looked curiously as Qin Sang walked to the altar. He solemnly took out three spirit tablets: Yun Youzi, Ji Xin Dao Ren, and Ming Yue.
Chen Shen was alert and immediately took his disciples to bow.
“Qingyang Guan was founded by the predecessors of Yunyouzi, and the master once received the kindness of Jixin Dao Ren and Mingyue. Later, following the wishes of the predecessors of Yunyouzi, he inherited the Taoist lineage of Qingyang Guan and carried it forward…”
Upon hearing this, Shen Chen was somewhat surprised. He racked his brains but couldn't recall ever hearing the name "Qingyangguan." Then he listened to Qin Sang continue, "Qingyangguan is located in Behai. My master sought the Tao and came from afar. He journeyed through the Storm Belt for decades before finally reaching Zhongzhou…"
Shen Chen's mouth dropped open in disbelief.
They had never personally experienced the ravages of the storm, but they had heard too many terrifying tales. Their master was from an extraterrestrial realm; no wonder he had been unknown before this.
Upon leaving the mountains, he instantly rose to fame in Zhongzhou with his awe-inspiring power!
Chen Shen couldn't imagine what it meant to have journeyed through storm-ridden waters for decades. His respect and awe for his master deepened even further.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“My disciple, though I have now established another Qingyang Guan in Zhongzhou, the distance between us does not affect the lineage. In the future, should we have the chance to meet fellow disciples from Behai, we must refrain from fighting amongst ourselves…”
Qin Sang spoke in a stern voice, clearly stating the sect's rules and regulations.
Shen Chen, Xie Yi and Zhou Li bowed their heads, remembering it deeply.
“Shen Chen, you are my close disciple, the second generation disciple of Qingyang Guan. Above you are Li Yu'fu, Mei Gu, Shangguan Lifeng, Zhao Ying, Tan Yien and others...”
When these names were mentioned, Qin Sang's voice involuntarily lowered several tones, wondering how many more of them were still alive.
Qin Sang knew that the chance of disciples from both sides of Qingyangguan meeting each other was extremely low.
But the agreement must be carried out meticulously, and if one party appears to have a powerful cultivator, it is better to avoid unexpected encounters. There's still a chance of meeting them.
When instructing my disciples.

The avatar had arrived at the back of the bamboo grove and entered a cave purposely excavated. One by one, spiritual materials were tossed out like flowing water, setting up a spirit array. The Ice Instrument Disk and the Fire Rhinoceros Pendant were then placed inside for nourishment.
Then, the incarnation remained, meditating in seclusion beside the Ice Crystal Divine Disk.
Time passed slowly.
When the Qianyuan Temple was newly established, Qin Sang became the manager, assisted by Mingyuewei to help Shen Chen manage it, gradually getting on the right track.
When Qin Sang was diligently practicing in seclusion.
News has finally arrived from the Northern Wasteland. Mo Xindao appeared at the agreed-upon location! green energy that coalesced before him, surging outward like waves.Whoosh!The golden sword plunged into the green tide, instantly causing a surge.>Qin Sang sensed the invisible resistance coming from...
