acted the ebony sword.At that moment, a blue orb of light suddenly flew out from Sun De's head, as fast as a meteor, heading straight for Qin Sang's face.Let me know if you have other text you'd like..."Since my fellow Daoist says so, this poor Daoist will be bold and visit Left True Person often. Well, as the saying goes, 'frequent movement keeps things running smoothly,' haha..."

Qin Sang said, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

"The Swordmaster Zhen also smiled and shook his head, "Friend Daoist, could you think that Zhenren Zuo favors you only because of your connection with me The Great Master's eyes are like torches, piercing through the smallest details, how could he be swayed by outsiders' opinions. Since Zhenren Zuo has recruited you, it only means that your abilities are strong enough to gain the recognition and favor of the Great Master. You should not underestimate yourself."

Qin Sang took a sip of wine and said, "I don't belittle myself, but it is undeniable that being able to meet True Person Zuo and having him willing to lend a hand and save me from danger is also related to my fellow cultivators..."

Saying this, Qin Sang briefly described the events of seven years ago when he teamed up with the Left Immortal to fight the Demon King. He objectively described his own strength and the role he played.

Before this, every time Qin Sang returned to Xingdao Xianhu, he would conceal his true cultivation.

After obtaining the Poison God Scripture, Qin Sang's cultivation speed was astonishing. He wasn't afraid of Zhjian Zhenren finding out, only that it would reach Dao Ting and be targeted by those with ulterior motives.

Qin Sang understood the truth that "the tallest tree in the forest is always destroyed by the wind." As a lone cultivator, with no backing or support, he had to be cautious and careful in everything he did.

After the Battle of Zhuitan, it was impossible to hide it any longer. However, his current strength and background were far superior to what they used to be.

Qin Sang speculated that after the chaos at the altar, Zuo Zhenren should have contacted Zhi Jian Zhenren to inquire about his background.

>Perhaps the True Person with the Sword had already known this.

As expected, after hearing Qin Sang's account, Zhi Jian Zhenren did not show much surprise. He gently shook the wine glass in his hand and feigned astonishment: "As the saying goes, one who parts for three days should be seen with new eyes. This poor Dao has been in seclusion for only a few years, and not only has the world changed drastically, but old friends have also soared to the sky, almost unrecognizable! My friend's ability to slay the demon king suggests that you have already grasped the essence of the Shadow Sword, and made progress in your swordsmanship. Do you still remember our agreement back then If the moon is bright, it's a good night for us to test our swords against each other!"

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

Qin Sang was helpless. The Sword-wielding Realman knew what he wanted to ask but pretended to be oblivious, always talking around the subject. It seemed like there was something he couldn't bring himself to say.

Since Master Zhishjian was unwilling to speak, Qin Sang simply didn't press him. He finished the wine in his cup and said, "Before a fellow Daoist, I must make some preparations for using my sword. Could you wait another year for me"

Qin Sang had not forgotten the agreement he made with Zhizhen Ren, and had been looking forward to it all along.

However, he doesn't have a suitable sword in his hand right now.

The grade of the Gray Nightingale Sword is not enough, and the Cloud Traveling Sword is currently devouring a diamond core. It is estimated that it will be completed soon.

Okay, let's make it a year from now!

The Swordmaster nodded, raised his cup, and after filling the two cups with wine from the flask, drank.

Unknowingly, it has reached deep into the night.

>

The two of them chatted and laughed, discussing everything from ancient times to the present. They were in high spirits as they parted ways.

Six months later.

In the cave dwelling.

Qin Sang was meditating with his eyes closed when he suddenly felt something. He silently urged the sword formula, and in an instant, sword light filled the room.

A glimmer of sword light hung before Qin Sang, revealing the luminous and transparent Cloud-Traveling Sword.

It doesn't look much different from before, just the blue light emanating from the spirit sword seems a bit thicker.

However, Qin Sang could perceive that the Cloud-Roaming Sword's blade was now as unbreakable as iron, all thanks to the Diamond Body.

>

After reaching the Spirit Infant stage and advancing to the Spiritual Treasure realm, Yunyou Jian's rate of consuming spirit wood far surpassed its previous levels.

Both Vajra Gems have been devoured by the Cloud Traveling Sword. From the day it started devouring them, to now, seven years have passed. In fact, the total time spent devouring them is only three years.

After swallowing two Vajra Realities, Qin Sang felt the changes brought by them and delayed his journey for several years.

Qin Sang remained with his eyes closed, using his spirit to sense his natal sword. After a moment, he murmured, "As I thought..."

After swallowing the first golden diamond, Qin Sang discovered that the changes to his spirit embryo after consuming it were not obvious.

The second one is still the same.

Therefore, devouring spiritwood can only enhance the spiritual sword itself, increasing its power. However, it cannot accelerate Yunyou Jian's transformation through the accumulation of spiritwood.

The transformation of Lingbao from the earthly realm to the heavenly realm hinges on its spiritual essence. Within the spirit embryo, the Qi Ling is nurtured and developed.

When Qin Sang asked Master Gu for advice, he also learned about...

In terms of nurturing spirituality, the natal spirit treasure and its master's life essence are intertwined, forming a blood connection. This advantage is unmatched by any other spirit treasure.

If you want your natal treasure to remain pure and prevent cracks from forming between you and the owner, some external force-catalyzed refining techniques cannot be used crudely on your natal treasure. You must carefully discern which ones are suitable.

Qin Sang hadn't learned many secret arts and for the time being, could only rely on his own cultivation of the Yunyou Sword.

He opened his eyes, the Yunyou Jian slightly rotating its blade, the edge pointed directly at Qin Sang's eyes.

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

At this moment, Qin Sang's pupils couldn't help but constrict. He only felt that the sword edge was extremely sharp, and he even felt a sting. He couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart.

Six months later, the agreed-upon date had arrived.

Star Island, the north region of the West.

Here, the desolation was even more pronounced. Cultivators scrambled to flee into the Inner Lake for safety, some even leading their clans and families of commoners in a mass exodus.

Even commoners with connections were fleeing south, leaving only those who had nowhere else to go behind.

Islands have become desolate, though traces of past prosperity can still be seen, they are now deserted.

Two figures strode through the wind, it was Qin Sang and the Sword-Wielding True Person.

The escaping light flew non-stop northward, and it became increasingly difficult to see the smoke of human dwellings. Continuing northward, everything was desolate.

Flying to an open expanse of water, the sword-wielding immortal descended with his mystical light. With a flick of his finger, he unleashed a sword shadow that whooshed out, returning moments later. He nodded slightly: “Within a radius of a thousand miles, there is no one else. The target must be here.”

"Great!"

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

Qin Sang fell before the sword-wielding Immortal, a thousand feet in front of him. His feet touched the water's surface, rising and falling with the gentle waves.

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

The two bowed to each other from afar across the water.

Qin Sang pinched a sword formula, and a sword light shot out from between his brows. The sword emerged like a dragon.

Energized by the sword aura, Qin Sang's front was instantly hit by a surging wave.

The Cloud Piercing Sword swirled above Qin Sang's head, transforming into a dazzling rainbow and soaring straight into the heavens. The sword cry echoed like thunder, shaking all directions.

There are no reefs nearby, but the water is teeming with life. Even ordinary fish and shrimp who have not yet attained enlightenment instinctively fear the thunder. They flee in large groups from this place.

Not even the birds in the sky dare to fly over this stretch of water.

"What a fine sword!"

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

The real person's eyes followed the movement of Yunyou Sword, his eyes lit up with admiration. He praised loudly.

The next moment, he flicked his sleeve, a silver light shot out, transforming into a three-foot green blade, hanging upside down in front of the Sword Wielder.

Qin Sang had seen this sword before. It was the same sword that the Swordmaster Wielder used when they first met in the Star Valley Cave.

This sword was once merely a counterfeit spirit treasure, but now it has become a genuine one. At some point, two seal script characters, "Ask Your Heart," were inscribed on the blade.

But Qin Sang knew that this was not the strongest spirit sword of the Sword Master.

Qin Sang asked curiously, "Why not use that sword"

The sword he spoke of was the unsheathed spirit sword within the dwelling of the Sword-wielding True Person. It was wrapped in white cloth strips inscribed with talismans all over its body.

At first glance, the sword left a deep impression on Qin Sang, who was curious about its true appearance.

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

The Swordmaster Zhijian understood what Qin Sang was asking and said, “That sword, I cannot fully control it either. It remains in my cave abode.”

Qin Sang nodded. Seeing that the Zhuxin Sword hanging before the Swordmaster's real body remained motionless, he wasn't being polite. With a slight movement of his mind, a clear and high-pitched sword cry echoed through the heavens, and the sound of it breaking through the air was incessant.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sword cry echoed through the heavens and earth.

The Swordmaster raised his head and saw a scene of thousands of sword qi filling the sky. Sword shadows appeared as real as illusions, and sword qi rained down, covering the entire water surface.

The surroundings had already become a forest of swords, with nowhere to escape.

"Look at my sword, friend!"

The Swordmaster chuckled lightly.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!

The sword trembled as if questioning its own heart. With a flick of the wrist, it turned, its tip pointed towards the sky, and in an instant, it vanished without a trace.

Qin Sang's face showed surprise. The moment the Zhuxin Sword disappeared, he suddenly lost his perception of it.

With the Heavenly Eye divine ability, one could see a sword shadow rising against the tide of swords, defying the overwhelming onslaught.

But at the moment when Jianying was about to collide with Jianqi, Tianmudie lost sight of the Asking Heart Sword as well.

Clank!

A sword cry, utterly different from that of the Yun You Jian, suddenly rang out.

The voice was not loud, compared to the whistling of sword qi, it was almost inaudible, yet it was clear.

At this moment, even the sword cries seemed to be suppressed by that ringing blade.

Then, a golden sword glow suddenly appeared in the air. The number of them was comparable to the descending sword qi, and each point of sword glow corresponded exactly to a sword qi.

Thousands of sword qi and sword glow collided almost simultaneously, like the collision of heaven and earth.

'Boom!'

The sky was overcast with dark clouds.

Here is the translation:

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

The waves in the lake were enormous.

Between heaven and earth, a blinding sword light erupted, as if it had become a lightning domain, obscuring vision. The figures of both were swallowed by the sword light.

Two different but equally powerful sword intents of terror swept across all directions in an instant.

Fortunately, this is an open expanse of water. If this were land, the force of that strike could have easily shattered mountains and split rivers!

>

At this moment, Qin Sang was surrounded by the chaotic sword intent. His eyes and heart were filled with only swords. As his thoughts converged, he was about to change his move when a sudden clang resonated within his very soul.

The sound of the 'sword cry' wasn't a real sound, but rather a divine ability he had comprehended from the Shadow-Chaser Sword. As the saying goes, "A sword arises from the heart," and once he sensed killing intent directed at him, it would immediately alert him.

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

Qin Sang's heart was filled with a sense of foreboding, and without hesitation, he recalled the Yun You Sword.

Whoosh!

A sword rainbow descended from the sky in an instant, piercing through the air and striking the empty space beside Qin Sang.

With a mere 'clang', a sword shadow was cut out before it could even be unleashed, by the Cloud-Travelling Sword. It was the Questioning Heart Sword.

"Not bad!"

The sword wielder in the distance nodded slightly, spoke with approval, as if he had seen through the reason for the revealing of the Sword of Truthfulness at a glance.

The sword trembled in his heart, returning empty-handed, without entanglement with the wandering swordsman, it turned into a sword light and reflected back.

Qin Sang stared at the Questioning Heart Sword, but he couldn't see how it had disappeared or why it had silently appeared beside him. Knowing that such entanglement was not beneficial to him, he no longer hesitated and immediately changed his sword technique.

Sword formation, unleashed!

The sky grew dark, and then stars blazed brightly, one by one like celestial swords hanging in the air. The water beneath them had vanished.

At this very moment, they all seemed to be pulled into the void, drifting in the galaxy.

This time, it was Qin Sang who disappeared. He truly integrated himself into a sword star and secretly split himself into seven sword spirits.

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

The Sword Souls enter the Seven Star Palaces, each taking residence in one. With the power of a single individual, they evolve into a sword array.

Zhijian Zhenren stood still, unwavering, allowing himself to be drawn into the sword array.

At this moment, he stood right in the center of the sword formation, gazing up at the Sword Star. His eyes were deep and piercing, as if he were calculating something intently.

Qin Sang naturally couldn't let him crack the sword formation. He immediately activated the sword formation.

The sword-wielding Immortal stood in the Pleiades. The Sword Star of the Pleiades shone first, rays of starlight like arrows, booming toward the sword-wielding Immortal.

Meanwhile, the other six constellations also shimmered with starlight, shining from afar.

Starlight is swordlight.

Locked by starlight, he also faced the terrifying sword intent. The expression of the Swordmaster remained unchanged, his Zhenshen Sword trembled before him, an overwhelming sword intent erupted, and the sword intent pressing down on him shattered.

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

Whoosh!

The spiritual sword cuts through the heavens!

The first ray of starlight intersected with the Sword of Truth, becoming as real as any physical object. It first congealed, then shattered inch by inch.

The Swordmaster Zhijian held his sword single-handedly behind him, the other hand forming a seal and pointing at the void.

The sword of sincerity suddenly split into two, one real and one illusory, one bright and one dark, swirling around each other, spinning faster and faster.

>

Finally, both the swords of introspection disappeared, replaced by a constantly rotating yin-yang symbol.

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

Sword intent transforms yin and yang.

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

The following stars, as they fell, seemed to be drawn by some force, and all fell into the Yin Yang Diagram.

'Bang! Bang! Bang!'

The dull, resonant sound continued to reverberate, the Yin-Yang diagram trembling incessantly, but it never collapsed.

At the same time, Qin Sang noticed that his sword formation was also subtly affected, and he couldn't help but be secretly amazed.

Although he was only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, relying on his Yunyou Sword and sword formation, he could face even late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouses with just his swordsmanship.

Even the formidable Ghost King, though unafraid of the Seven Constellations Sword Formation, wouldn't find it easy to break through.

However, to everyone's surprise, in just a few breaths before the Swordmaster, the opponent seemed to have found a way to counter.

It's important to know that ZhJian Zhenren's cultivation level is on par with his, also in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

“Is the difference between you and Jiken in kendo truly that great”

Qin Sang suddenly felt a sense of showing off his skills in front of the master, but he didn't get discouraged. After all, he hadn't unleashed the full power of the sword formation yet.

'Rumble...'

The water rippled.

From outside the sword formation, the entire body of water was shrouded in a subtle aura, as if it were isolated from the world.

But here, there is no peace. Constant tremors emanate from within, shaking the very heavens and earth.

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

The clash lasted for the entirety of a incense stick's burn time, and within the sword array, the scene remained unchanged.

Stars on the Yin-Yang diagram spin, revolving independently.

Qin Sang had used nearly all the variations of his sword array, but it was unable to break through, let alone injure the Sword-Wielding Immortal.

'Hum!'

Suddenly, the seven constellations trembled, and an unprecedentedly rich starlight pierced through the starry sea.

A ferocious beast was born in the starry sea, transformed from starlight, unleashing a thunderous roar and plunging down!

"Western Divine Beasts..."

The True Person Zhishjian's face showed a solemn expression for the first time, and he muttered in a voice Qin Sang could hear, "This formation imitates the celestial stars of heaven and earth, it is mysterious and extraordinary. It's a pity that it only has the seven constellations of the west. If we could incorporate all the stars of Zhoutian into the formation, making the four images complete, the three palaces present, and the nine splendors shine together, it would be an unparalleled sword formation!"

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

Qin Sang was taken aback by these words. The real person with the sword seemed to be hinting at something. He didn't have time to think too much and immediately used all his strength to command the white tiger sacred beast to charge towards the Yin-Yang Diagram!

(The End)t, he was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. At his age, breaking through to the ninth level could be considered lucky. Otherwise, there would be no need to hide his true cultivation level out...
