Daoist let all the disciples of the Heavenly Alliance and so many disciples be buried with us It's better to rely on others than to lose our lives! I want to see how much longer you little Cold Doma...'Bang!'

Liuli said nothing.

The wooden door slammed shut.

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

Shi Xue's figure froze, she let out a long sigh, stopped her steps, and turned her head to look at the tightly closed wooden building. Her expression was a mix of pity and helplessness, "This stubborn girl!"

Qin Sang looked at the wooden building, then lowered his head to look at the ice sword stuck in the ground. He gradually came back to his senses.

>

He held the *Divine Maiden's Heart Sutra* in his hand, speechless as he looked at Shi Xue. He could only feel a mixture of amusement and absurdity.

With his intelligence, although he was unaware of the details, seeing Shi Xue's "The Heart Sutra of the Goddess" given to him and seeing Liuli's performance just now, he could guess seven or eight points of the truth.

There are still ripples of movement in the wooden building.

It's obvious that Liuli just tried to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but failed. Since Shi Xue gave him "The Heart Sutra of Goddess", this failure of Liuli is most likely related to her.

Or perhaps, one is trapped by the imprint left by the Xuan Pin Yu Ding Zhen Jing.

It seems that Dongyang Bo's warning back then wasn't an exaggeration. The hidden danger of this sorcery is indeed very troublesome. Over the past three hundred years, Liuli has still been unable to shake off the mark.

No wonder that with the beauty of a glazed celestial spirit root, she has been trapped in the nascent soul stage until now, but he surpassed her instead.

Since their reunion, Liuli had acted normally in front of him. Qin Sang had thought that with such a large family business as Xuantian Palace, there should be some kind of secret art or treasure to help her solve the trouble.

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

He was still thinking that this kind of result wasn't bad either, it could be considered a resolution to that karmic debt.

It was just an appearance.

Qin Sang recalled that in the bronze hall of Ziwu Palace, Dong Yangbo had said that Liuli had been suffering from the backlash of evil spells since the beginning. She used silver needles to lock her emotions and shield herself from the influence of the branding.

Now, it should also be sealed with a similar method, the emotional mark.

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

Unfortunately, he underestimated the power of this forbidden art's hidden dangers. At the crucial moment of breakthrough, the secret technique failed, the seal exploded, and his efforts were in vain.

Remembering the look in Liuli's eyes when her emotions erupted just now, Qin Sang sighed inwardly.

That kind of heart-piercing feeling makes one's heart tremble. Sadly, this affection is not genuine, not from her true feelings, but an imprint left by evil magic.

And Liuli clearly knew this, she held onto her true self with strength and did not fall into despair.

>

"Master..."

Qin Sang walked to Shi Xue's front, returned the jade slip to her, and for a moment didn't know what to say. "You... really thought too much."

He had felt that Shi Xue's behavior was a little strange for some time, it turned out he was thinking about all sorts of things.

It's estimated that the appraiser Xue didn't know about the compensation matter. If she had consulted Qin Sang in advance, he would have definitely advised Shixue to give up and not waste her effort. Regardless of his attitude, Liuli would never agree.

That's exactly what happened. Liuli resolutely closed off the wooden building, willing to give up this opportunity for a breakthrough and completely disregarding the possibility of dual cultivation.

Qin Sang wasn't surprised by this result at all.

Liuli is the jewel of heaven, and he is a different kind of person altogether.

What a proud person!

Originally, she cultivated the evil-countering technique out of her eagerness to save her master, not for personal gain.

Now, for her own cultivation, she submits to the branding, letting demonic arts control her, forcing her into a Daoist partnership with someone she barely knows. Even under the guise of dual cultivation, it's absolutely impossible.

Please note that I only translated the text content within the > tags. I did not translate or modify any HTML tags.

You can say she's stubborn, or perhaps just strong-willed.

She wouldn't numb herself, acknowledging the falseness of this feeling.

Qin Sang and Liuli didn't have many interactions, but through Liuli's actions, Qin Sang saw through her clearly. If Liuli were to accept the , she wouldn't be Liuli anymore.

"The Glass Fairy is a blessed person, she certainly has a solution. We just need to believe in her and not worry ourselves."

Qin Sang only considered it a farce, shook her head, and flashed out of the mountain pass, busy with her own affairs.

Shi Xue watched Qin Sang's departing figure, her eyes flickering uncertainly. She quickly walked to the wooden building, showing hesitation before finally not pushing the door open, and stayed outside instead.

"The scoundrel has a point. I was indeed meddling too much. With your talent, little sister, you must have known the risks of Bingpo sealing one's heart. You surely considered the possibility of failure, but besides using 'Shen Nü Xin Dian' to enter the Dao through emotion, what other way is there to break through before facing a crisis"

Shi Xue pondered for a long time, sighing inwardly, "Alas! Junior sister, I don't understand you as well as that heartless man does. Why won't you accept him"

Qin Sang left Ting Xue Lou and headed northeast.

Leaving no footprints in the snow, after a short gallop, I saw a vast expanse of white snow mountains. I was back here again.

As Shi Xue said, the underground veins of yin are at the bottom of the snow mountain.

Shortly after entering the snowy mountains, Qin Sang sensed a faint chill. He cast his gaze downward and, penetrating through the snow layer, discovered numerous openings to underground caves. This was the source of the Yin energy.

Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I'm ready!

Pfft!

A hole broke open in the snowpack, and Qin Sang entered the cave.

The underground caves are interconnected and extremely complex.

He summoned his golden sword for protection and plunged into the depths of the cave, continuing his search.

>

As Shi Xue said, there is indeed an underground vein of Yin Qi here, but it fluctuates in strength. Sometimes the Yin Qi is thin, and sometimes it is extremely dense, like pools of accumulated Yin scattered throughout the cave.

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

The first step of "" requires the use of the subterranean yin meridian, taking ninety-nine eighty-one days to refine the spirit body.

This step differs from refining corpses in that it doesn't involve using Yin Qi to completely transform the physical body. Instead, it utilizes the power of underground Yin veins to make slight modifications. The true purpose isn't to obtain Yin Qi, but rather its coldness. This makes it easier to refine cold substances later and increases the success rate of the next step. Finally, the Yin Qi is expelled from the body.

It requires a high standard for the underground yin meridian. The yin qi cannot be too strong or too weak.

Qin Sang had been searching the cave for a long time, spending another whole day this time, and finally selected three places. In the end, he chose one of them.

This is a grotto, the surrounding rock walls are smooth as mirrors and go deep without end.

Qin Sang waved his sword to open up the stone platform, then sat cross-legged and summoned his Yuan Ying talisman puppet.

During the process of refining a physical avatar using the Yuan Ying Talisman, it is not only about whether the Dao Tree can refine a spiritual body, but also how the talisman puppets within and their soul shadows are refined for use by the avatar.

>

The spiritual bodies required by the Yuan Ying Fu Kui and the Nine Myriad Returning Yin scripture differ slightly. Qin Sang might need to make some adjustments to his cultivation method, in conjunction with Bai Chuan's Soul Shadow Refining Technique he gave him.

Fortunately, the changes won't be too drastic. As long as the fundamental secret techniques remain untouched, the chances of success are high, but extreme caution is required.

Here is the translated text:

Qin Sang watched as Yuan Ying sat opposite him, manipulating the puppets. He couldn't help but think back to yesterday's dramatic events, still feeling a sense of absurdity. Shi Xue truly deserved the title of headmaster, worrying herself sick about everything.

Putting aside his distractions, Qin Sang connected his mind and spirit with the puppet, falling into a deep contemplation.

The cave fell silent.

We sat there for two months.

In two months, Qin Sang had thoroughly comprehended the .

Liliu previously said that the main body could be resurrected as a clone after death, which was somewhat exaggerated. It must be done before imminent demise by using the "Nine Netherworld Returning to Yin Jade Chapter" to transform the main body and avatar into a secret art.

If the secret technique is not completed, it will be instantly killed and cannot be resurrected.

However, there shouldn't be such a master in the North Sea Cultivation World. His strength was so great that he couldn't even complete the transformation technique. For Qin Sang, this was indeed an unprecedented opportunity for resurrection.

Therefore, Qin Sang was very interested in the Nine Netherworlds Returning Yin Jade Chapter.

He went over it countless times in his mind, confirming several things.

Firstly, the power of the puppet seal within the Yuan Ying's physical body cannot be retained. He must first erase the puppet seal and restore the original evolution tree, otherwise it will clash with his spirit body.

It's a pity, if one can refine the power of the puppet seal, after the external avatar is refined, it will at least have the strength of a middle-stage Nascent Soul.

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

But in order to reduce conflict and increase the chances of success, it has to be done.

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

Secondly, it's good news.

An avatar can be controlled by the main body, similar to a puppet. The drawback is that it's stiff and cannot be used for resurrection, so it's generally not considered. A more conventional approach is to split off a second deity to control, which has more autonomy and can do more things.

>

The second divine soul is split from the original divine soul. Unlike the second divine soul cultivated by demonic cultivators through bloody rituals, it won't backlash unless its main body grants it complete autonomy or it detaches due to special circumstances.

This is just a placeholder.

This has its pros and cons. When an avatar is successfully cultivated, its realm will be one level lower than the main body's, requiring gradual improvement later on.

Qin Sang considered that after refining the second primordial spirit, he would use the secret art Bai Chuan gave him to refine the soul shadow within the Yuan Ying puppet body and strengthen the second primordial spirit.

When Bai initially suggested he cultivate the Exterior Embodiment Technique of orthodox Xuanmen, he had already considered this point.

Although the soul shadows within Yuan Ying's puppet body were merely remnants, their sheer number had previously rendered them incapable of being transformed into combat power. If all were refined, coupled with the extraordinary artifact known as Bing Po Shen Gang, the strength of his avatar might not decrease but rather increase, serving as a shortcut.

Those soul shadows themselves lack consciousness. His fragmented primordial spirit carries a portion of the jade Buddha's power, so there is no need to worry that the soul shadow's power refined by the second primordial spirit will be too chaotic and increase the risk of backlash.

Qin Sang's thoughts gradually became clear, waking from his meditation.

His gaze shifted from the puppet animated by the Yuan Ying talisman to the subterranean veins of yin energy, then retracted, his mind sinking into his Purple Mansion.

>

Inside the Purple Mansion, Yuanshen wore the Yin-Yang Armor, concealing the golden light.

Qin Sang had divided his primordial spirit before, when he was refining corpses and puppets, to create soul imprints.

This time was different, he was going to split off a large portion of his primordial spirit and refine a second primordial spirit!

Thinking of the pain he had endured when splitting his primordial spirit in the past, Qin Sang twitched the corner of his mouth, calmed his mind and entered meditation. He removed the Yin-Yang Armor from his primordial spirit, revealing its true form.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Sang's brows furrowed suddenly, and a flash of pain crossed her face.

The pain of splitting the soul was excruciating, even Qin Sang's steadfastness couldn't help but turn pale.

At this time, within his Purple Mansion, a golden light appeared, but it was many times dimmer than his original divine soul.

Qin Sang hesitated for no moment and urged his secret art.

As time passed, the golden light wriggled and changed, gradually transforming into the form of a deity. The second divine soul was beginning to take shape!

The next moment, a golden light flashed between Qin Sang's brows.

"Whoosh!"

Golden light entered the puppet's body.

For a moment, the soul shadows within the puppet bodies of the Yuanying Talisman all showed signs of rebellion, wanting to devour the second Yuanshen, which was still in its weak stage.

Qin Sang endured the pain, his hand seals changing rapidly as he performed Bai Chuan's Soul-Suppressing Art. His second soul essence plunged into the core of the soul shadow, sitting motionless and emanating a special wave that gradually calmed the soul shadow.

Refining a soul shadow takes a long time and cannot be accomplished overnight.

Qin Sang first used his second divine soul to suppress the Soul Shadow. Then, he erased the puppet mark's power from the Yuan Ying puppet body and restored the Dao Tree of Evolution.

Make sure everything is foolproof.

Qin Sang raised a finger, and the puppet's insignia on Yuan Ying Fu Kui flickered.

As Qin Sang moved, the puppet seals shattered one after another, power scattering. The Nascent Soul puppet's momentum weakened, and its wooden nature gradually began to show through its body.

Qin Sang watched as the powerful puppet's qi dissipated, his eyes devoid of any remorse. His movements became even faster, until the last puppet seal was erased.

When the Yuan Ying Fu Kui disappeared, Qin Sang felt a small, exquisite spirit tree in his palm. He finally knew that it was indeed a heavenly spirit root.

Apart from the bark being slightly rough, it was perfectly shaped like a baby, with features so lifelike. Who could have imagined that a spirit tree could be so divinely crafted, resembling a human form so closely!

Next, Qin Sang will cast the Dao tree into the earth's dark veins.

The willow tree fluctuated below.

Qin Sang cast incantations one after another, directing the Taoist tree to absorb the power of the earth's yin veins and refine his spirit body. This was a crucial step second only to refining the Ice Soul Divine Gang, and Qin Sang dared not relax.

Although the Dao Tree has been polluted, it is after all a root of heaven and earth, capable of absorbing everything. The process of absorbing Yin Qi is very smooth, so Qin Sang's worries are unnecessary.

The entire refining process takes ninety-nine eighty-one days. After the seal is completed, it can refine itself without constant attention.

When everything went smoothly, Qin Sang retracted his mind and took the elixir to treat his primordial spirit.

When there was nothing to do, Qin Sang stayed here, contemplating the Seven Masters Buddhist Seal.

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

Unexpectedly, there was a minor mishap even with this step. Qin Sang had expected to refine his spiritual body for ninety-nine eighty-one days, but he waited for half a year before it was finally complete.

After exceeding the time limit, Qin Sang inevitably felt a little uneasy, but also knew that Yandao Shu was special. He patiently waited until this day arrived.

Whoosh!

The willow tree flew into Qin Sang's palm.

Upon closer inspection, a faint chill could be seen emanating from the branches of the Dao tree. Qin Sang observed it carefully for a long time and felt that there seemed to be nothing amiss. He took out the Bing Po bag from his Qian Jun Ring.

Opening the Ice Soul Bag, a bone-chilling aura assaulted you, pregnant with terrifying and unrestrained power.

Qin Sang was not unfamiliar with the Heavenly God's Divine Formation, his expression remained unchanged as he looked inward.

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

The Ice Soul Divine Gang condensed into a crystal is different from the Azure Yang Divine Gang. Its body is transparent like ice, and its appearance resembles an ordinary ice cube. As a Divine Gang of Heaven, it embodies the extreme yang attribute of the world, yet possesses an extremely cold characteristic, which is quite unique.

Fortunately, the yin energy within the banyan tree's body had already been expelled from its physical form after the initial formation of the spirit body. Otherwise, there might have been a conflict.

After some contemplation, Qin Sang took out a piece of Bingpo Gangyu. He didn't dare to touch it directly and wrapped it with his true essence before using the secret art of Liuli Chuan to refine it.

Gradually, Gangyu returned to a pure Bing Po Divine Gang, the chill intensifying. The surrounding Yin Qi seemed to halt its flow and was frozen solid.

Under Qin Sang's instigation, a strand of the Ice Soul Divine Gang separated and entered the body of the Dao-Cultivating Tree.

In an instant, a surge of coldness swept over the Yandao Tree, its body becoming translucent as it effortlessly absorbed the wisp of Bingpo Shen Gang.

Qin Sang's expression was filled with surprise. His understanding of the Yandao Tree deepened, and he no longer hesitated. With lightning speed, he refined each ice-soul divine energy into the Yandao Tree's body.

Once the spiritual body is perfected, the Ice Soul Divine Gang is forged within the Dao tree's body to establish its foundation.

By this step, we can basically declare that the avatar is complete!

Qin Sang took a deep breath, he didn't expect it to be so smooth, thinking to himself that it was indeed as expected of a heaven and earth spiritual root.

Next, Qin Sang activated the second primordial spirit within the Peony Dao tree. Taking advantage of the moment when its foundation was solidified, he allowed the second primordial spirit to completely merge with it, becoming inseparable.

Avatar complete! thing that moved Qin Sang's heart was the turtle shell. It was a defensive magic treasure, crafted from the carapace of a tortoise demon. Its defensive power was quite good.Please let me know if you...
