Chapter 537: Starting Over

ed!"Whew!"A giant crane broke through the smoke and mist, soaring through the air. In a flash, it flew to the sky above the Palace of Pilgrims, its beak opened wide, releasing a jade seal trailing in...Above the sky, the fire gourd and the ten directions Yama banners floated in the sea of fire, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Every time Fa Bao made a move, countless fiery streams shot out, sweeping across the forest below. They were like meteorites falling from the sky, leaving behind deep craters that were shocking to behold.

The demonic fire burns the heavens.

The mountains trembled.

This scene was like a natural disaster descending, causing all living creatures in the mountains to be terrified.

Qin Sang countered the fire attack, her gaze sweeping rapidly as she searched for advantageous terrain.

Just then, Qin Sang suddenly noticed a bird the size of a sparrow flying from the distant horizon. It didn't look remarkable, but it was astonishingly fast, heading straight for Wuyou Dao.

Qin Sang's heart moved, he proactively restrained the Jiuyou Demon Fire, slowing his attack, and allowed the bluebird to fly to Wu Youdao's front.

'Poof!'

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

A hand reaches out from Wu You Dao, grasping a bluebird which explodes into flames and returns to its source.

Grasping the flow of fire, Wu Youdao focused his divine senses.

After a moment, Qin Sang shouted repeatedly: "How is it, Wu Dao friend, did the old man lie to you The old man only took the dry celestial energy and absolutely didn't touch your sect's forbidden area."

Wu Youdao raised his head and glanced at Qin Sang, his eyes flickering.

Qin Sang saw this and was delighted. He said in a deep voice, "If fellow daoist continues to press me, this old man has no other choice but to detonate this Xuantian Thunder. I believe you now have the ability to dodge the explosion, but when we both reach a certain level of exhaustion, at the time of mutual destruction, how much confidence do you have"

Then, he earnestly said: "This matter was originally my fault. If it were to spread, people would laugh at me. I absolutely wouldn't tell anyone a single bit about it."

“Next time, Wu will surely take your life!”

Wu Youdao coldly warned Qin Sang a word, suddenly waved his hand to take back the fire gourd, a flame sprang from under his feet, and he soared away.

"Thanks for making this happen!"

Qin Sang bowed his hands from afar.

He didn't dare stay put. After Wu You Dao vanished from sight, he immediately retracted the Ten Directions Yama Banner and fled with all his might into the depths of the mountains.

He walked cautiously, keeping an eye on his surroundings, until he was sure he wasn't being followed. Then, he found a secluded cave and ducked inside.

“Whew!”

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

Set up restrictions, seal the cave.

Qin Sang slumped to the ground, letting out a long, foul breath.

Although this battle wasn't a life-or-death struggle, Qin Sang found it more thrilling and terrifying than any previous war. It left him trembling with fear, walking on eggshells.

After all, this was his first time truly facing a cultivator at the Core Formation stage.

Whether using true energy or activating magic treasures, both were very clumsy. Although he gradually grew in battle, becoming more fluid and refined, there was still a significant gap compared to Wu Youdao.

Luckily, he wasn't afraid of the Qingyang Demon Fire, while Wu Youdao had to be on guard at all times, not daring to let the Jiuyou Demon Fire get close. This ebb and flow allowed Qin Sang to avoid a swift defeat.

It is likely that Wu You Dao thought there was a chance to keep him because of this.

If there were no Heavenly Thunder's deterrence, the outcome would be truly uncertain.

At last freed from danger, Qin Sang rested briefly before immediately sitting cross-legged and examining his inner self.

“The speed of this true essence recovery is really slow!”

Qin Sang sensed the Corpse Pill and secretly smiled wryly.

He calculated that when the Shi Dan's true essence was exhausted, it would take half a day to recover. This meant that he had to be meticulous in every battle from now on.

Qin Sang allowed Shi Dan to recover on his own and began to carefully examine his body.

The cave was silent.

Qin Sang sat there listlessly for a whole day and night.

The next afternoon, he withdrew his consciousness from his body, his expression solemn as he lowered his head into thought.

All day, he finally sorted out his current situation.

First of all, his strength is undeniable and comparable to that of a true Nascent Soul cultivator.

Secondly, and what Qin Sang cared about most—could he cultivate techniques

The answer is no.

Due to the constraints of both the Sky Corpse Talisman and the restrictions, his true essence could only follow a fixed path. Qin Sang tried countless times, just like before with the Corpse Condensing Pill, but he was unable to shake it.

This means that he will never be able to cultivate any more martial arts techniques, and there will be no further improvement.

Now Qin Sang is facing a choice, and his degree of corpse transformation is getting deeper. He doesn't have much time to think.

Is it about transforming the physical body into a corpse and walking the path of a zombie

Or, break the Heavenly Corpse Seal and gamble on whether you can keep your corpse pill safe

Without dwelling on it too long, Qin Sang decided to choose the second path.

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

After becoming a cultivator of corpses, Qin Sang had no idea what the future held.

Even those from the Corpse Dao sects, have only heard of cultivators refining corpses, never heard of anyone refining themselves into a corpse.

Back then, Wusang was a prodigy with unparalleled talent, but he couldn't find any techniques to break the limitations of the Heavenly Yin Corpse Scripture.

After a corpse transformation, the physical body would be strengthened, but the primordial spirit would not change in the slightest. This meant that Qin Sang's lifespan was likely the same as that of a Qi Foundation cultivator, only two hundred and fifty years, instead of five hundred.

Over these two hundred and fifty years, Qin Sang not only had to seek out suitable corpse dao secret arts for his cultivation, but also relied on his mediocre talent to cultivate to the next realm.

And under the circumstances of the Heaven Corpse Talisman's existence, could those necromantic arts allow oneself to break through one's shackles and advance

Qin Sang had no confidence at all.

Is he someone who possesses the strength of a Core Formation Stage cultivator and has been carefree for over a hundred years

Should one still prefer to relinquish this tempting power and continue pursuing the great path

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

In the Xiuxian world of Xiaohan Domain, a cultivator at the Jindan stage is revered as a god among men, admired and catered to by all. But for Qin Sang, these are nothing but pipe dreams.

Over a hundred years, one cannot escape the embrace of death and returning to dust. What is the point then

I'm about to become a real corpse puppet, and there's no turning back.

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

If the Corpse Dao Technique cannot be found, besides abandoning the flesh and starting anew through soul possession, there is no other path to take.

Possession comes at a price. After possessing someone, your lifespan will not be extended.

Moreover, due to the incompatibility between the physical body and the soul, unless they obtain the mythical elixir that harmonizes spirit and flesh, the chances of further breakthroughs will be extremely slim.

The

Yǔnshén Yǎngjiànzhāng

gave Qin Sang hope for pursuing the Dao. It was fine that there were no subsequent cultivation techniques, but now there were clues from Senior Qingzhu about creating his own cultivation techniques. Unless absolutely necessary, Qin Sang didn't want to give it up.

Of course, Qin Sang's decision was not made without reason.

He could clearly sense that Shidan and he were very compatible, this compatibility was not merely formed by external factors.

Their connection wasn't solely due to the Heaven Corpse Talisman and the Heavenly Yin Corpse Scripture. It also stemmed from the fusion of his divine consciousness and qi blood during the process of refining Corpse Pills.

The most obvious point is that when he was in the midst of a clash between heaven and earth, his spiritual energy flowed together with the heavenly and earthly energies into his golden elixir.

After carefully weighing his options, Qin Sang estimated that he had at least a 30% chance of keeping the Corpse Pill safe after unraveling the Heavenly Corpse Talisman!

Of course, it would be best if Shi Dan could continue to be used by herself.

He returned to orthodoxy, and he could still cultivate the Yuán Shén Yǎng Jiàn Zhāng.

Even if Shi Dan cannot become a true Golden Core, it can serve as an external elixir and exert the power comparable to that of a cultivator at the Golden Core stage at any time.

In the future, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient to seek out hidden treasures and explore for herbs that aid in alchemy.

If it fails...

Qin Sang bit her lips tightly.

Even if it's shattered into a thousand pieces, what does it matter

So what, I can start over!ow it's enough. I'll take things slowly later. I've been staying at Huilong Guan for over three months, I wonder how the cave is doing Will that tree root really be able to ripen the spirit springLet...
