blazed with light, projecting an illusory image that was countless times larger than the actual shield itself.These phantoms flew to mid-air, overlapping and splicing together, forming a sharp, angul..."Senior Brother Sun, several fellow Daoists, I may not be able to attend the next gathering, please forgive me."

Qin Sang raised a glass of wine and toasted everyone.

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

A swordsman in green robes shifted slightly, leaning forward and inquiring, "Friend Qin, are you about to break through"

Qin Sang smiled and nodded, which immediately drew cheers and envy.

After entering Mount Shaohua, he never slacked off. A few days ago, he finally sensed the energy of breaking through to the tenth level. He has spent the past two days stopping his cultivation and adjusting his mindset, preparing to go back into seclusion tonight to break through.

This breakthrough would allow him to return to Mount Hua and receive a Foundation Establishment Pill, but Qin Sang wasn't ready to take it immediately. With his talent, taking it too early would be a waste of a Foundation Establishment Pill. He had been cultivating for so long and was patient enough to wait until he broke through to the thirteenth layer.

It's a shame that the Quyin Sect launched their attack too early. If they had waited a few more years, I would have had two Foundation Establishment Pills myself.

Sun Deye was unusually happy. He raised his cup to the moon and shouted, "Then I wish Brother Qin a breakthrough soon, and we'll be here to celebrate for you!"

Back in the cave, Qin Sang inspected the sunken well and sent a sound transmission note to report to his sect. He set up the Divine Confusion Mirror as usual, then sat on the water-heart bamboo cushion and silently recited it several times until his mind was still like water. Then he plunged into meditation and circulated his cultivation technique.

The bottleneck of the tenth layer was just as difficult to break through as the ninth, but there were clues to follow. All it needed was time and patience. In a blink of an eye, over twenty days passed, and Qin Sang successfully broke through the tenth layer. Although he was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't stop. He continued to meditate and cultivate, consolidating the newly broken realm that was still unstable.

As time passed day by day, Qin Sang remained inside his closed-off residence. However, outside his dwelling, dozens of sound transmission talismans had accumulated.

The earth sank into a deathly silence, desolate and barren. A wave of sinister energy surged from the depths, attempting to break through the seal's confinement. The escaping dark energy relentlessly eroded the surrounding forests and vegetation.

That day, suddenly a figure silently broke into this area. Standing at the edge of the sunken hole, his eyes stared at the dark depths below, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

This man was wearing the clean dust robes of Shaohua Mountain, it turned out to be Sun De!

Sun stared at the ground for a while, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face. He murmured, “A month should be enough. I hope Junior Brother Qin can put up a good fight.”

Having said that, Sun De glanced around before swiftly darting into the earth pit from a crack in the ground. He seemed very familiar with the earth pit; the winding cracks and passages were as clear to him as day. His figure flashed repeatedly, and soon he appeared before Qin Sang's cave dwelling.

Seeing these sound transmission talismans outside the cave dwelling's restrictions, Sun De counted them. Not one was missing, not one extra. A sinister smile appeared on his face as he waved his hand, collecting all the sound transmission talismans.

'Bang bang...'

Sun De stood at the entrance of the cave and knocked twice on the stone door. Hearing no response, he impatiently reached out and pressed his palm against it. Spiritual energy surged from his hand, and the cave's restrictions immediately began to crumble.

In the grotto, Qin Sang was both surprised and angry. He was awakened by the knocking sound. Just as he calmed his qi and blood and regained consciousness, he wondered who would come to him at this time. Then he discovered that the person outside the grotto was actually destroying the enchantment.

The cave dwelling opened by the master's sect had powerful restrictions, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to enter. In order to ensure everything was foolproof, Qin Sang set up a Mystic Mirror as a safeguard.

Here's the translation:

The intruder actually cracked the restriction so easily, who on earth is he

Qin Sang pondered deeply. After joining Shaohua Mountain, he had always been honest and upright, never quarreling with others. He shouldn't have offended anyone. Could it be that an outsider cultivator, unintentionally strayed into the sunken cave, discovered a cultivator's dwelling inside, and thus developed malicious intentions

Regardless of this person's identity, trespassing into one's own cave without permission is certainly not well-intentioned. This person is just outside the cave, and sending a flying talisman to seek help from their sect will definitely be intercepted.

Qin Sang's mind raced. Seeing the mirror formation ahead, she felt a sliver of calm. She thought to herself, "The mirror formation is right in front of the entrance. As long as I activate it, anyone who attacks will open the cave and immediately suffer its effects. If the enemy is too powerful, once they are trapped by the mirror formation, I will take the opportunity to escape and send a flying talisman for help."

He had numerous top-grade magical artifacts on his person. Even if he couldn't win, it shouldn't be difficult to hold on until his sect came to his aid. Not to mention that black orb he possessed.

If this person's skill is lacking, killing him with a sword would be justified. No one could fault you. After all, the sunken cave is an ideal place to dispose of a body.

Thinking of this, Qin Sang quickly calmed down. He glanced at the fluctuating restrictions in front of the cave entrance, split a clone and sat on the cushion, while his true self hid in a corner, then summoned the ebony sword.

He has already broken through to the tenth level, his internal spiritual power is profound, and he can wield a sword to fight enemies without needing to replenish it with spirit stones. However, driving the sword energy consumes a lot of energy, and if he doesn't prepare in advance, he won't be able to last for too long.

For safety's sake, Qin Sang still took out a middle-grade spirit stone and secretly accumulated spiritual power.

After a moment, the cave dwelling's door emitted a 'click' sound. The light of the restriction flickered for a moment and then vanished. Someone pushed the door open from the outside.

Sun Degang opened the cave, and immediately a darkness engulfed him. He had fallen into Mirror Formation's ambush, being wrapped in black mist. However, there was no panic on his face. He surveyed the swirling black qi, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth. "Eighteen Elders' personally crafted death weapon... Qin Junior Brother is indeed cautious, no wonder he managed to survive until now. Unfortunately, you are destined to become a sacrifice."

As he spoke, Sun De reached out and drew a mysterious rune in the air before him, driving it into the black mist. Immediately, the black mist began to dissipate.

Outside, Qin Sang saw more clearly. Soon after Sun Degang entered the mirror formation, the core of the Bewildering Mirror suddenly trembled violently, emitting a faint 'crackling' sound. Fine cracks began to appear on its surface, and it seemed like it was about to be destroyed. The black mist in the middle dissipated at an alarming rate.

When Qin Sang discovered that the intruder was Sun De, he was very surprised and wondered if it was a misunderstanding.

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

Of course, Qin Sang had no intention of stopping. Sun De's intrusion into the cave dwelling could be a misunderstanding, but he needed to subdue him first to know for sure. Otherwise, he would be in danger.

Seeing the Mirror of Divine Confusion easily broken by Sun De, Qin Sang was shocked and dared not hesitate for a moment. He silently recited the sword formula, and the sword energy on the ebony sword surged, instantly submerging into the black air.

“Ouch!”

A bloodcurdling scream echoed from within the black mist, followed by Sun De stumbling out of the mirror formation. His left arm was severed at the shoulder, blood spurting out like a fountain. The triumphant smile had vanished, replaced by a face as pale as paper.

Sun De covered his wound with one hand, and faced Qin Sang's icy gaze. His eyes widened in shock, his face contorted in disbelief as he cried out, "The tenth layer! You're still alive"

Qin Sang frowned, muttering a pity to himself. He raised a bolt of dark lightning, then with a thought, the ebony sword reversed its trajectory and plunged straight for Sun De's vital point.der it for a moment.In just a moment, that was exactly what Qin Sang needed. The Tianmu Butterfly couldn't wait and charged forward, lightning flashing between its wings. Then it shot out a net of lig...
