Chapter 1,198 Divine Patterns (6,000 words, updated today with an additional chapter due)
The edge of the sky mark.
Qin Sang lowered his head and looked into the abyss.
He slowly fell down along the cliff and entered the sky mark for the first time.
Unlike the Ancient Immortal battlefield, there is no sign of desolation inside Tianhen. Instead, the scenery is extremely beautiful.
On the slope of the cliff, there are green trees, like a green carpet.
All kinds of flowers and plants that are hard to see in the world compete here, and the waterfalls are like jade ribbons, sometimes gathering, sometimes scattering, flowing into the abyss.
If it weren't for the dangerous ancient forbidden fragments that appear from time to time, it would really be like a fairyland.
This little bit of danger cannot stop Qin Sang.
His speed became faster and faster, and he found that the terrain began to become steeper, and the scenery became increasingly dilapidated and desolate. After continuing to dive for a certain distance, there was no longer any green in sight.
The earth and rocks are exposed, and the stones are as black as ink, which is eerie and strange, indicating that the environment here is unusual.
Qin Sang sensed the familiar cold aura and knew that the place below was where the earthly evil spirit was stagnating.
As soon as this thought passed through his mind, Qin Sang saw wisps of evil energy coming out of the cave below.
The steep mountain wall is riddled with holes and various irregular stone caves. The interior is filled with a strong earth evil spirit, which is hidden deep inside the cliff and is even worse than the underground sinkholes.
Qin Sang activated his True Essence Bodyguard, randomly selected a cave entrance, and ducked in.
With his tyrannical cultivation, Qin Sang withstood the erosion of the earthly evil spirit and entered the depths of the cliff. He explored the surroundings and returned without success, confirming that the ruins of the Heavenly Corpse Sect were not here.
After refining the evil corpse, Qin Sang returned the same way.
When the external avatar returned to the Qi Refining Stage, Qin Sang took the external avatar to one of the cities.
His real body is waiting outside, controlling his external avatar to enter the city.
Using his original identity, he transformed into an unimpeded person. After entering Fangshi, he gathered old friends in a house in a corner of Fangshi.
"Old Qi, didn't you say you had a new deal last time? It was probably a prostitute. Why did you disappear for so long? Could it be that you encountered some serious trouble?"
Qi Laoer is the incarnation of Qin Sang, and his friends are all similar to his predecessor.
The person who spoke was a strong man with a ferocious face, and his expression was a bit gloating.
The incarnation snorted coldly, "Evil Impermanence, sooner or later you will misjudge and capsize the boat. I would like to see when you are seduced by the real Impermanence and escorted to the eighteenth level of hell."
Sin Wuchang sneered, "I'm going to the eighteenth level of hell. Mr. Qi, are the evil things you've done half the less than me?"
"alright!"
A charming-looking young woman in red, with an impatient look on her face, interrupted the two of them, "I just caught a little baby. It's the time when you and I are having sex. I'm not here to listen to your quarrels. Mr. Qi, gather here."
What are we doing here?"
Incarnation and Sinichang glared at each other, but did not continue arguing.
"I have something to ask all fellow Taoists for your help."
The Avatar paused and said, "Help me check someone out. A hundred years ago, there was a golden elixir master named 'Zombie Ghost Immortal'. It was said that he had been active near Jinhen Mountain at that time. As long as I find out any information related to this person, I will
It will definitely pay off handsomely.”
Xi Wuchang and others looked at each other.
"Mr. Qi, are you tired of living and want to provoke Master Jindan?" Wei Wuchang seemed to be looking at a fool.
The charming young woman was thoughtful and took a deep look at the incarnation, "We have never heard of such an arrogant name as the 'Zombie Immortal', the Golden elixir master a hundred years ago. He is probably no longer alive now. Are you?"
Did you find any clues related to the golden elixir treasure or inheritance?"
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly brightened.
The avatar's expression froze, and he felt stressed under the gaze of everyone. He laughed dryly and said: "I know I can't hide it from your eyes! I have been busy working on this matter these days. I have a low cultivation level, and I don't dare to monopolize it if I don't have the strength.
I want to invite some helpers, so I invite all my familiar Taoist friends to come over. But I have something to say first, and we all know the basics, so you’d better not have any strange thoughts..."
"Is there really a golden elixir treasure? I didn't expect you, Mr. Qi, to have a lucky day."
Wu Wu Chang rubbed his hands, his face full of excitement.
The others were equally interested, and after some discussion they dispersed. The incarnation watched them leave, with deep eyes. After a while, he walked out of the house and began to investigate.
After some investigation, I found nothing.
Qin Sang asked the avatar to go to another city, and the same thing happened.
Time is enough to wash away everything. The traces of a golden elixir monk are just a speck of dust in the long river of time. It has only been a hundred years and has been erased.
After searching to no avail, Qin Sang launched a second plan, asking the Avatar to return to Fang City with evil corpses comparable to those in the foundation-building period, and without hesitation, he summoned the Avatar's old friends.
Feeling the strong oppressive force of the corpse refining beside the incarnation, Ai Wuchang and others cursed in their hearts.
This old boy obviously ate alone!
When he deceived them to help investigate the news, he secretly took out the golden elixir relic. Otherwise, with the strength of this old boy, how could he have the ability to refine such a powerful corpse?
But when I think about it, everyone is respectful on the surface, just like when they are facing a real foundation-building monk.
After talking secretly for an entire afternoon, the incarnation let them leave.
Evil Impermanence walked into the darkness, looked back at the direction of the small courtyard, his eyes flickered, and he said with disdain in his heart: "My cultivation level is not as high as mine, and I was lucky enough to get a foundation-building-stage refined corpse, but I also want me to sacrifice my life for you, dreaming
!”
Just now, Mr. Qi actually wanted to take them all under his command and work together to hunt for treasure in Tianhen.
During the foundation building stage, you can refine the corpse, and you can then enter deeper places in the sky mark.
Damn Wuchang didn't believe that Mr. Qi would be so kind. If he encountered any danger, Mr. Qi would definitely abandon them without hesitation or even use them as a shield.
Thinking of this, Wu Wuchang snorted coldly and walked quickly in the other direction.
Not long after, he came to a rather quiet courtyard deep in the city. He was sure that no one was following him. He walked towards the courtyard with his head lowered and a smile on his face. He expressed his intention to the concierge and was taken in.
The bright moon and stars.
Atrium, jade case.
Good wine and good food.
A monk dressed as a Taoist was drinking wine and looked slightly drunk. In front of him were several beautiful monks dancing gracefully with their charming eyes.
Sin Wuchang swallowed and spat, extremely envious.
These female cultivators are at a higher level than him. After all, they are disciples of a large sect. They live a life of ease and enjoyment!
Although he can imitate this style, he can only find a few mortal women to dance for him. He doesn't dare to dominate in a heavy city controlled by Jinhen Mountain. He can only go to remote villages. How can he be like this person in front of him?
Compare?
The concierge came forward to report.
The Taoist glanced over.
Sin Wuchang was agitated and quickly stood up straight. He saw the Taoist retreating from his subordinates and said to himself: "What do you have to report? Come up and speak."
…
"Golden elixir legacy? Is this true?"
After Evil Impermanence explained the whole story, the drunkenness on the Taoist's face suddenly disappeared.
Sin Wuchang nodded repeatedly, "It's absolutely true, that's where Mr. Qi's foundation building and corpse refining must have come from."
"Ghost Immortal..."
The Taoist recalled carefully, but he could not remember that there was such a person a hundred years ago.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and suddenly a sword light shot out from his sleeves, which was instantly pressed against the throat of Sin Wuchang, and he sneered: "Old Qi has obtained the golden elixir relic, and he still dares to meet you with such arrogance. You don't need Yin Qi to refine the corpse."
Are you treating me like a three-year-old child with the energy of earth evil? You are so courageous, how dare you use such clumsy means to conspire against me!"
"Senior Mingjian, I would not dare to plot against you and Jinhenshan even if I gave this junior a hundred courages!"
Wu Wuchang trembled and defended himself, "According to Mr. Qi, his corpse refining strength is comparable to that of a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment. He probably thinks that other seniors have been dispatched to the front line. Nowadays, the city is empty, there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys say
Your Majesty, that’s why he dares to be so unscrupulous. Mr. Qi is still in Fangshi, and the senior will know if the junior is lying..."
The Taoist narrowed his eyes and said in surprise, "Refining corpses in the middle stage of foundation building?"
He had just built the foundation not long ago, but he was no match for this refined corpse.
If evil impermanence really wants to harm himself, there is no need to say it so clearly.
"Hmph! Let me spare your life first!"
The Taoist sheathed his sword, and when he saw the expectant expression on Wu Wu Chang's face, he hummed, "You go and deal with Mr. Qi first, and don't show your weakness. If there really is a golden elixir treasure, your reward will be indispensable!"
"Junior, please obey!"
Evil Impermanence looked happy and bowed away.
The Taoist looked thoughtful, thought for a while, and decided to send a message back to his master's door to ask some of his close friends whether there was anyone with the Buddhist name of "Zombie Ghost Immortal".
The treasure left by Master Jindan is still very tempting.
Please come forward, senior brother, even if it is really a trap, just break through it!
Qin Sang also didn't expect that the incarnation would easily pass the news to the ears of the disciples at Jinhen Mountain by chance before he brought the refined corpse with him.
Soon, the Taoist received a reply, and after reading it, his face was full of surprise, "There is actually a golden elixir called Zhiguixian, which can use the evil energy of the earth to refine corpses, and he has a good relationship with Master Wu. However, this person has just gained some fame.
, died on the battlefield, no wonder I have never heard of this person. It seems that this person may have had a premonition. Before being sent to the battlefield, he left a Taoist inheritance here, and Mr. Qi got it..."
The Taoist immediately wrote back and invited his senior brother to come and help with the boxing, lest Mr. Qi would react and run away with the treasure.
Two days later.
The incarnation walked out of the city with the refined corpse. Not long after entering the deep mountains, a blur suddenly appeared in front of him, and an extra person appeared out of thin air in front of him, blocking the way.
Just as he was about to turn around, he was blocked by someone behind him.
These two people are actually masters of mid-stage foundation building!
Immediately afterwards, a figure emerged from behind an ancient tree, it was the Taoist priest.
He looked at the refining corpse next to his incarnation, with brilliant eyes, shook his feather fan lightly, and said Shi Shiran: "I heard that fellow Taoist Qi Hongfu Qitian was inherited by Master Jindan, can you let us observe it?"
The incarnation showed no fear and said calmly: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
When the three of them saw the incarnation's fearless appearance, they immediately felt strange. However, they had just carefully investigated and found that there was nothing strange about the surroundings.
Before they could react, they suddenly felt their whole bodies tense up and their eyesight turned black. Then they were all imprisoned in place, unable to move. They were suddenly horrified.
The opponent's strength is so terrifying that they haven't even seen him yet.
No matter how hard they struggled, the restraining force on their bodies remained motionless.
Just when they were frightened, a strange voice sounded in their ears, "You are so brave, you dare to follow the poor disciples."
One of them managed to calm down, found that he could speak, and begged repeatedly, "This junior is blind and didn't know that fellow Taoist Qi was a disciple of our senior. Please give us a lot of seniors, and see that we don't cause a big disaster, spare our lives. This junior is willing to come back to you."
Henshan took all the treasures in the cave and made amends to fellow Taoist Qi."
They thought it was because they provoked Mr. Qi.
"Haha, there is no need to threaten Pindao with Jinhenshan. Pindao is not a big scarer. However, seeing Jinhenshan's face, if you answer a few of Pindao's questions well, I can spare your life."
The three of them were convinced that the other party was still afraid of their own sect, so they quickly responded.
After a while, Qin Sang flew out of the forest with his avatar.
Those three guys were not dead, but they were imprisoned in the jungle by Qin Sang using golden elixir levels. As for when they would be freed, it would depend on when Jinhen Mountain found them.
Qin Sang didn't want to cause too much trouble.
After killing three true disciples in a row, Jinhenshan will definitely not let it go.
It is a troubled time, and as long as no one dies, Jinhenshan will not be entangled in a desperate struggle to inherit a mere golden elixir, provoking a mysterious opponent.
"If we can't find out anymore, we can only make some noise and break into the various forces near Jinhen Mountain and question them one by one."
Qin Sang looked at the west and thought to himself, "It turns out that the corpse ghost fairy's real surname is Chen, and he comes from the Nanyin Mountains to the west of Tianhen. Unfortunately, Jin Dan, who is friends with the corpse ghost fairy and has a surname of Wu, is fighting on the front line at this time and will not be available for a short time.
Perhaps the only way to capture that person for questioning is to go to the Nanyin Mountains first. None of these three people have ever seen Tan Hao, and they don’t know if Tan Hao has been here, so they went directly to the Nanyin Mountains."
Among the three disciples of Jinhen Mountain, one of them had been a Taoist boy named Wu Jindan and served when the corpse ghost immortal came to visit. Hearing Wu Jindan call the corpse ghost immortal Chen Daoyou, he knew that he had been in the Nanyin Mountains before.
monasticism.
Qin Sang suspected that the Corpse Ghost Immortal came to Jinhen Mountain to absorb the earthly evil spirit to refine corpses after receiving the inheritance from the Heavenly Corpse Sect, and decided to try his luck in the Nanyin Mountains.
He set out immediately without delay.
Crossing Tianhen again, Qin Sang headed straight for the Nanyin Mountains.
At noon on the third day, Qin Sang had just arrived and had already clearly explored the forces in the Nanyin Mountains on the way.
The shape of the Nanyin Mountains is quite peculiar.
At the boundary of Tianhen, the peaks form a semicircle, and then extend outward in circles.
This place has dangerous mountains and rivers, and there are no top sects nearby. Most of them are casual cultivators, but these forces are more or less inextricably linked to the top sects outside.
Qin Sang sent out an incarnation and repeated his old tricks.
It's a pity that although a few people with evil intentions were fished out, none of them knew anything about the zombie fairy.
Qin Sang knew that this road was not feasible, so he simply went to the major forces in the Nanyin Mountains.
Among these forces, some are cultivating families, some are casual cultivating alliances, and there are also sect subordinates.
Qin Sang walked around and found that the mountain-protecting formations of the Immortal Cultivation Family and the Loose Cultivator Alliance were slightly weaker.
There was a huge flaw in the formation of a cultivating family, which was difficult for others to detect, but Tianmu Die saw it and was able to sneak in without making too much noise, saving a lot of trouble.
Li family.
A family with two golden elixirs would have been prosperous in the past.
But when it comes to war, a prosperous family is secondary. They just want to survive on the battlefield.
Fortunately, the Li family is better than those with single golden elixirs. Not all two golden elixirs have been recruited, at least one can survive, and they can also rotate.
Li Yutian had just been replaced by his grandfather and was withdrawn from the front line, preparing to recuperate at home for a while.
Recalling the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Li Yutian was still frightened. Even Master Jindan was in danger on the chaotic battlefield and could die suddenly at any time.
The only good news is probably that I can see Nascent Soul fighting with my own eyes, experience non-stop battles, and make rapid progress.
He didn't understand why those Nascent Soul Patriarchs were willing to live a peaceful life and insisted on invading the Tianxing Alliance. The Sin Yuan was clearly not exhausted yet.
Outside the cave, two maids stood around.
Suddenly Li Yutian's voice came from inside, "Please pass on the order. This ancestor has a new understanding and needs to retreat and break through. No matter what happens, no one is allowed to disturb me."
The two girls were overjoyed when they heard this. The ancestor was already at the peak of the early stage of the Golden Elixir. If he breaks through again, the family will have two masters of the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. Moreover, the ancestor is still young and may have the appearance of a Nascent Soul.
The two women bowed and left. Seeing the forbidden light emerging from the door, they didn't have the slightest doubt.
In the cave, Li Yutian was looking at the cloaked man who appeared out of thin air in front of him with a face filled with horror.
"Master Nascent Soul!"
Li Yutian felt terrible pressure and his face was full of despair.
Qin Sang appeared in front of Li Yutian like a ghost, stretched out his hand on Li Yutian's head, and directly searched for his soul.
On the battlefield, this man had killed countless monks from the Alliance of Two Realms. Naturally, Qin Sang would not show mercy to him. After getting the information he wanted, Qin Sang erased Li Yutian's body and all traces and left quietly.
Everyone in the Li family knew nothing about this.
It was not until another ancestor returned and forced the cave open that Li Yutian was found missing, but there was no trace in the cave. Li Yutian seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and it has since become a major unsolved case in the Nanyin Mountains.
Later, Qin Sang and Fat Chicken split up and found another opportunity to create several unsolved cases, but they were all foundation-building monks.
All kinds of information corroborated each other, and Qin Sang probably had some understanding of the corpse ghost fairy.
This person’s name is Chen Heng.
He had always been a casual cultivator, and he was originally ordinary. Like other low-level cultivators, he had been wandering around in Tianhen all year round, barely making ends meet. Suddenly one day he got an unknown opportunity, and his cultivation progressed rapidly.
In this way, he actually broke through the golden elixir stage step by step and became a golden elixir master.
This person practices the Wood Walking Technique, and his Wood Walking Spiritual Power is extremely pure and has extraordinary supernatural powers. He is somewhat famous in the Nanyin Mountains.
In Li Yutian's memory, he was quite wary of Chen Heng, because he was a solitary person and would be punished. But it was certain that Chen Heng had nothing to do with the corpse path monks at that time, and he did not have the title of "Ghost Immortal".
Until a hundred years ago, for unknown reasons, Chen Heng suddenly left the Nanyin Mountains and disappeared from sight. It was speculated that he might have died outside.
This is also true.
From then on, Qin Sang could conclude that Chen Heng obtained the corpse refining technique inherited from the Heavenly Corpse Sect when he left the Nanyin Mountains and went to the Nearhen Mountains.
But Qin Sang still has no clue about the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
Chen Heng has no relatives or friends in the Nanyin Mountains. If he had obtained the corpse refining technique outside, the clues would probably end here. Qin Sang could only go back to the Tianxing Plateau to find the golden elixir in Jinhen Mountain.
After all, Qin Sang decided to continue investigating in the Nanyin Mountains. From the memories of Li Yutian and others, he searched for what major events had happened in the Nanyin Mountains in the years before Chen Heng left, such as the emergence of ruins and so on.
In the end, Qin Sang locked four locations, all deep in the sky mark.
Three of them are in secret realms with ancient forbidden seals. Ancient treasures were discovered in the ruins, which caused a sensation.
The other one was in the deepest part of the sky mark. For unknown reasons, a violent wave erupted. It spewed out from the bottom of the abyss and swept across the ancient forbidden area. Many monks who were searching for treasures in the sky mark were unable to escape and either died or were disabled.
Later, experts from the Nanyin Mountains tried to investigate deeply, but it was too dangerous down there, and in the end they never found out what caused it.
After finding this out, Qin Sang decided to go into Tianhen to investigate in person.
It is a secret realm that can be entered by Jindan monks, so Qin Sang doesn't need to prepare anything at all.
Flying down along the cliff wall non-stop.
There are many monks in Tianhen who risk their lives to hunt for treasures here. They don't feel at all that someone just passed them.
As we go deeper into the sky mark, the light becomes darker and darker, and dangers lurk everywhere.
There are two ancient forbidden places, even Qin Sang must be careful to avoid them.
Soon, Qin Sang arrived at the first secret realm.
The cracks in the mountain at the entrance to the secret realm were filled with colorful lights. After the last chaos, the chaotic ancient forbidden area closed the entrance to the cave again.
The Tianmu butterfly stood on Qin Sang's shoulder, its wings pointed at the entrance.
After observing for a while, Qin Sang sensed the thoughts coming from the Tianmu Butterfly, smiled, then raised the golden sword and slashed out with a sword, which was extremely wonderful.
The ancient ban was touched, and they all gathered towards the sword light, the mountain wall shook, and gravel flew everywhere.
At the same time, a gap appeared in the ancient forbidden area, and Qin Sang took the opportunity to escape into it.
The next moment, Qin Sang appeared by a lake. The lake had dried up and the surrounding palaces were in ruins.
It's obviously been ransacked here.
Qin Sang let go of his spiritual consciousness, not missing an inch, and searched carefully, but found no existence related to the Tianzhi Sect. He was not discouraged, flew out of the secret realm, and flew to the next place.
The second secret realm seals a mountain range, and there are many ancient temples in the mountain. I think it once had infinite scenery.
Qin Sang unexpectedly picked up a rather rare elixir, but there was still no trace of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
Continue deeper and come to the third secret realm.
The space at the entrance to this secret realm was chaotic, and there were even space cracks. It had been destroyed by the collision of the ancient forbidden realm. Qin Sang and Tianmu Die worked together to crack the ancient forbidden realm bit by bit, and finally found a ruins of the secret realm, but still found nothing.
"Just look at the fourth place."
Qin Sang lowered his head and stared into the abyss, seeing endless darkness below.
The Heaven-Eyed Butterfly showed the way, and Qin Sang dived deep without any scruples.
It took two full hours for Qin Sang to find the source of the fluctuation.
Unexpectedly, after passing through the most dangerous area, there is a vast desolation further down, and the ancient forbidden fragments are also extremely rare.
Seeing this scene, Qin Sang felt something strange, so he ordered Tianmudie to activate his magical power with all his strength, and then carefully searched here.
The scope of the desolate land was larger than Qin Sang's imagination. It took Qin Sang a stick of incense to reach the other edge.
Suddenly, Qin Sang's eyes were fixed on the stone wall as smooth as a mirror.
After a moment, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his face was full of shock, "This kind of aura...divine pattern! It is actually the unique restriction of the Witch Clan!" (To be continued.)
