Chapter 1724: Unfailing
no chance to escape. He was pressed relentlessly, unable even to mount a proper defense before Mu's black sword knocked the precious mirror from his hand.Next, Yun Youzi's pearl flashed and darted int...The river twists and turns, with villages dotted along its banks.
Compared to other areas in Nan Zhou, this place is quite prosperous.
In this world, people revere righteousness and Buddhism, forming a widespread trend. Although this place is located in a remote area, there is still a Buddhist temple nearby, where nuns practice meditation, known as Lianxi Temple.
'Lianxi' is a name derived from the Lianxi River.
>
Lianxi Monastery is a common temple, with all the nuns being ordinary people. There has never been any talk of anything unusual happening within the monastery. The locals nearby come to burn incense and worship Buddha simply for peace of mind.

Qin Sang landed by the riverbank and stood still, feeling his own being.
The poison pearl rotated slowly within the dantian.
Multicolored lights shimmered, yet appeared somewhat dim.
Inside the poison bead, there is another black bead. Upon closer inspection, you can see that this bead is not solid but made of smoke. It is the toxic power of the Wan Du Mountain holy relic.
Qin Sang promised to give the Poison King the origin of the Bloodthirsty Plague Spirit's poison in exchange for poison smoke.
To fuse the venom of Gu King and sacred objects, recreating the source poison of the Bloodthirsty Spiritual Mist, was just a concept conceived by the ancestor of Wanshan Mountain back then. It remains unverified to this day.
Qin Sang didn't understand the true teachings of Wan Du Shan and couldn't control the sacred artifact, but with the help of the poison bead, he actually achieved it. In less than half a year of comprehending in Wan Du Shan, he had made progress and merged the first strand of the origin poison. He kept his promise and gave it to the Poison King.
It is not easy to refine the primordial poison. Even with Qin Sang's cultivation, it could not be done overnight. So, he had the Poison King force out the power of the sacred artifact poison and seal it with a poison bead. He brought it out and slowly refined it.

This time I overdrew on the sacred relic's reserves again. Because my old wounds hadn't healed, they were even worse than last time. After being put back in the forbidden zone, I was like a corpse, completely still. I don't know how long it will take to recover.
The Poison King, afflicted with the Primordial Toxin of Bloodthirsty Haze Spirit, could use this to verify his cultivation technique and break through to the Divine Transformation realm. With his experience, future generations of the Wan Du Mountain sect would also benefit.
In the past, even if a sacred object slept for a thousand years, it could still awaken with joy.
Qin Sang retracted her divine sense and looked up at the small temple on the mountain peak. She walked along the mountain path, encountering only two incense-burning pilgrims along the way. It seemed that Lianxi Monastery was not very prosperous.
>
Behind Lianxi Temple is Yan Yue Temple, which is the secular branch of Yan Yue Temple. To visit Yan Yue Temple, you need to ask the abbot of Lianxi Temple for permission.
Due to its relationship with the Wu Xiang Immortal Sect, Mask Moon Monastery had to hide from the world.
Qin Sang also learned from Liu Li's guidance about the relationship between Lianxi Temple and Yanyue Temple.
The abbot of Lianxi Monastery seemed to know something. Seeing Qin Sang, he didn't wait for him to explain his identity and origins before respectfully bowing, inviting him to sit down, and then went to the back hall himself.
Qin Sang did not disperse his divine sense. He sat honestly for a stick of incense, feeling a familiar aura approaching. He got up and saw an old nun walk in.
Qin Sang already knew, Lao Ni was the current Abbot of Yanyue Monastery, Master Yun Xin.
This is the best place for you to start.
"I have met Yun Xin Shen Ni."
Qin Sang took a step forward and bowed deeply, "Back then, I was saved by the Goddess from great peril. I regret not having had the chance to thank her personally. Please forgive me."

Yunxin Master hastily returned the greeting, "Master Qin, you flatter me. As a humble nun, I haven't done much. It was my junior sister who risked everything to save you and restrained the demon king. Master Qin bestowed upon us various peerless secrets, which have benefited us greatly. I always felt indebted to you. To hear that you cleared the name of Xiangemen at the grand ceremony, and its reputation is restored, it should be I, Yunxin, who thanks you..."
Some polite flattery.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The relationship between the two parties suddenly became much closer.
Qin Sang glanced behind Yunxin Shi Tai and saw that no one else had come.
Yun Xin Shi Tai keenly sensed Qin Sang's gaze and immediately invited him to visit Yanyue Monastery, saying, "Lu Li Shi Mei is currently in meditation. I have already informed her, and she should be out soon."
>
Qin Sang flew with Master Yunxin for a while, vaguely sensing the fluctuation of qi in the air. Her eyes flashed but she didn't say anything. Then, before them, the mountain shadows shifted and the treetops swayed, revealing several serene temples.
Having arrived at the stone pavilion in the temple, Qin Sang and Yunxin, the abbess, discussed the matter of the ascension platform.
More than half a year has passed since the grand ceremony. The news Qin Sang announced at the ceremony has spread throughout the entire cultivation world, from Beihua to Nansha, from Donghai to Ximo, and the entire Zhongzhou has been shaken by it.
>
Sects of all sizes, as well as wandering cultivators, are searching everywhere for the ascension platform.
The top-tier aristocratic families with powerful cultivators guarding them were the most eager, even turning their forbidden grounds upside down countless times in their search.
Additionally, searching for the ascension platform can also start from ancient demons. Like Ghost Mother, who was sealed with her cultivation and unaffected by the celestial demon sound, perhaps there are still ancient demons surviving somewhere in hiding.
The ancient demon definitely knows the location of the Ascension Platform.
It is necessary to first find a place like an ancient demonic cultivator's residence that seals demons. Ordinary people should not act rashly, lest they release demons.
The Grand Master of Compassion and others sat in command of Central Plains, collecting news from all directions, and they contacted Longjing the Great Sage, a sea monster of the East Sea, to exchange secrets they knew.
In this world, humans and demons from all factions and sects, regardless of their origins, have united as one in this unprecedented display of cooperation.
>
From land to the deep sea, this world is covered in the footsteps of cultivators.

Although the ascension platform was not found, some unknown secret realms were unexpectedly discovered. Those with deep blessings thus gained great opportunities.

However, among the descendants of Wuxiang Xianmen, very few dared to show themselves.
Qin Sang wanted to ask Yunxin Master to come forward and contact these people. Yanyue Monastery should have connections with some of them.
Yunxin Master readily agreed.
Just as they were speaking, Qin Sang's expression shifted slightly. Yunxin Shi Tai also sensed it and stood up with a smile. "This nun remembers something. I need to step away for a moment, True Monarch, please wait..."
“Please excuse yourself.”
Qin Sang slightly bowed.
Just as Yunxin Master had left, a figure of a female lay Buddhist appeared at the end of the stone steps outside the pavilion, walking out of the mist. She wore a sea-green robe, her monk's hat covered her blue silk hair, but it couldn't hide her exquisite beauty.
Their eyes met.
Qin Sang stood up and stared quietly at the woman until she reached the pavilion.
Behind the shadowy trees in the distance, a young nun peeked out, seeing the scene before her, she couldn't help but giggle. Her companion covered her mouth and pulled her back, bringing a touch of life to this picturesque mountain landscape.

"Congratulations, fellow cultivator, on achieving the Nascent Soul stage," Liuli looked at Qin Sang deeply, her tone unusually fluctuating, as if in amazement.
Their first meeting was awkward and embarrassing.
At that time, Qin Sang had just built his foundation, and the foundational elixir he used was bought with his own body. As for Liuli, she was only one step away from becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator. The gap between them was more than just worlds apart.
Later, Qin Sang was forced to leave. When they met again, her cultivation had surpassed hers.
The gap is widening more and more nowadays.
It's hard to imagine how someone with the talent of a five-spirit root could have come this far. What incredible resilience it must have taken to persevere and reach this point today.
"Also, congratulations to the fairy on breaking through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul."
Qin Sang hurriedly returned the greeting.
He was just thinking about how to start the conversation and tell Liuli about the Heavenly Dao Demon Sound.
Liuli's experiences were the opposite of his; she may not have suffered less.
Before he attained the Nascent Soul stage, his journey was fraught with difficulties, while Liuli's path was smooth sailing.
After the Nascent Soul stage, the effectiveness of his cultivation technique and Jade Buddha became apparent. His path was relatively smooth, while Liu Li struggled with the imprint of demonic arts, facing countless hardships.
Liuli's heart remained steadfast, unyielding in her struggle against the brand. In the end, heaven rewarded the diligent, and she found her path in Buddhist teachings, yet a demonic voice blocked her way, almost severing the immortal path in this world.
Things in this world can be too cruel!
The two sat facing each other in the pavilion.
Here is the English translation, remembering to keep the HTML tags:

Qin Sang waved his hand outside the pavilion, setting up a barrier to prevent prying eyes.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Inside the pavilion, people look out and see everything as normal. However, those outside can only see a black wall.
Liuli raised her head slightly, looking at him with questioning eyes.
"Has the fairy forgotten her promise to save her master"
>
Qin Sang first asked a pointless question.
Given his understanding of Luli, saving his master was her lifelong obsession. She wouldn't hesitate to cultivate and supplement the evil arts for this, how could he possibly forget.
Liuli frowned indeed, but saw Qin Sang staring at her, seeming to be serious. Waiting for her answer, she said silently, "Never."
That's great!
Qin Sang nodded. "Qin has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. According to custom, he will need to meditate for a period of time before crossing the sea. After ascending, I will do my best to help Fairy investigate the whereabouts of her master. If there is an opportunity, I will also make a move to rescue him."
Concerning her master's safety, Liuli couldn't refuse. Her lips parted slightly, about to thank him, but Qin Sang interrupted her.
“However, I would rather see the Fairy save Master with her own hands. That way, it would be worthy of the Fairy’s hard work, and outsiders like us will certainly not be as devoted as she is.”
Qin Sang's words were a bit strange, as if he was encouraging her.
Liuli didn't need encouragement, but she could see Qin Sang meant well, so she said, "I won't slack off."
"I believe the fairy has a strong will and, with her talent, even the confidence to shake up the realm of gods. However, the world is unpredictable..."
Qin Sang let out a soft sigh, no longer hesitating. He told Liuli about the changes in Heaven's Mandate in detail.
He spared no details, laying bare the threats of the Heavenly Dao Devil's Sound and all his speculations about Tianbian.
There is an eerie silence in Shiting.
Qin Sang stared at her silently.
Liuli had been gazing at the stone table between them, her head bowed. One couldn't see her expression. After an unknown amount of time, she finally looked up, her expression and tone as cold and calm as ever. "Because the heavens have changed, you need to find the Ascension Platform."
Qin Sang secretly let out a breath.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A heart of glass, yet incredibly resilient, this person remained undeterred even after such a heavy blow.
"Not bad," Qin Sang nodded, "But we have to consider, what if the Ascension Platform is the only one there is"
Her glass lips moved slightly.
>
A person knows their own family's affairs best. She used Buddhism to suppress the evil mark, and it has shown some effect. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to break through the late stage of Nascent Soul so smoothly. But the mark is not completely removed, the hidden danger still exists. Perhaps others might still have a glimmer of hope, but if Heavenly Dao Demon Sound, Heart Demon Tribulation, and the mark all attack at once, she has absolutely no chance of survival.
"Does the fairy still remember what the Ghost Mother senior said"
Qin Sang suddenly asked an unrelated question.
Having solved Lüli's predicament, Guimu uttered four words: "It's better to keep a distance than to block it."
Back then, the statements about Liu Li weren't as direct, but they implied this meaning.
Her glazed eyes flickered.
Qin Sang said as if sighing, "Cultivators talk about transcendence all the time. They view seven emotions and six desires as obstacles to cultivation, some even fear them like tigers. But in Qin's opinion, one who is not bound by affection nor indifference is truly cultivating. Do you agree, fairy"
>
Liuli gazed fixedly at Qin Sang.
Qin Sang stood his ground, meeting her gaze. The Qianjun戒 emitted a flash of light, and two things flew out from it—both were half-formed spirit embryos, as if by coincidence.
One is a spirit embryo as clear as the heavens.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Another is a superior spirit-calming incense embryo.
>
“If the Ascension Platform cannot be found, the fall into oblivion is inevitable. The Qinghu Saint King and I are sworn enemies, and even the Huiguang Saint has schemed against me. Qin alone is outnumbered and outmatched; I must find allies… Fairy, you are the only person in this world that Qin can absolutely trust. Helping you is also helping me.”
>
Qin Sang placed two treasures on the stone table.
Under the Heavenly Demon's Sound, it is ten deaths without life for ordinary people to pass through the Heart Demon Tribulation. How much more so for Liuli To help her transform into a god, these two treasures are clearly insufficient.

We still need to start with the evil mark.
This period of time, Qin Sang has been pondering this matter, but no matter what he tries, it requires Liuli to willingly cooperate.
Qin Sang didn't force her to accept it now.
Putting down the treasures, Qin Sang said again, "Fairy, don't be hasty in your refusal. Qin intends to unite with the cultivators of this world. In a few days, I will head west and travel through various domains before returning to the edge of Guihu, which will likely take a hundred years. The two treasures will be temporarily stored at Yanyue Monastery. During this time, I hope the fairy will think carefully about it and make a decision."
Refining Heavenly Linglong is still possible, but gathering all the superior spirit-nourishing incense ingredients required might be beyond even Liuli's capabilities.
>
When Qin Sang traveled, he would naturally pay attention to searching.
Leaving behind two treasures was his way of showing Liuli his determination.
In Qin Sang's view, as long as Liuli can accept him, the two of them working together, there is no obstacle they can't overcome!
Even if the evil mark cannot be undone, and Liuli truly becomes Xuan Nü, as long as she can ascend to become a god, it would all be worth it.
The world is vast and full of mysteries. It's never too late to seek ways to understand them.
Of course, different people have different convictions. Qin Sang couldn't impose his own thoughts on Liuli; he could only let her come to her own understanding.

Having said that, Qin Sang pressed down on the stone table, stood up straight, and without any lingering feelings, turned and walked outside. As he reached the edge of the pavilion, he suddenly stopped.
"Qin's character, the Immortal should be clear about. If the Immortal can open her heart, no matter if she can ultimately break the seal, Qin has only one word..."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang faced away from Liuli, gazing at the vast expanse of land beyond the mountains.
It was early morning, with golden light surging in the east as the sun was about to rise.
In any case, I will definitely not let you down!
Qin Sang did not say goodbye to Yunxin Master. He strode down the mountain, his robes billowing in the wind. Just as the sun rose over the distant mountains, a golden ray illuminated Qin Sang's silhouette, casting it into the glaze-like eyes of the one watching.
Eight characters echoed with a resounding boom, reverberating within the pavilion.
In the pavilion.
Before Liuli stood two treasures that would drive the world mad, yet she didn't even glance at them. She gazed at Qin Sang's back until he disappeared into the mist.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves outside the pavilion, casting dancing shadows everywhere. All was silent.
Since Qin Sang visited, all the nuns in Yanyue Monastery have been paying attention to this stone pavilion.

Seeing Qin Sang descend the mountain so quickly, leaving without a word, everyone was very surprised, including Master Yunxin.
This is the translation of your content:
Back then, Liuli disregarded her own safety to rescue Qin Zhenjun. From Qin Zhenjun's actions, it could be seen that he harbored some affection for Liuli.
What's even rarer is that they both possess exceptional talents and are a perfect match. They should not relive the tragedy of their ancestors.
They thought they could witness a good match.
"What's wrong Quickly go and see what happened to your junior sister..."
A female nun was anxious and rushed towards the stone pavilion, but Yunxin's master stopped her, urging everyone back to the temple hall.
>Leaving Yinyue Monastery.
Qin Sang chose a mountaintop at random and sat cross-legged, facing the rising sun. He inhaled and exhaled purple energy, meditating for a long time before getting up and continuing his journey.
