Chapter 1460: The Grand Elder's Conditions

the two bone flutes. They were exactly alike, and he couldn't tell them apart even when holding them in front of him.Two bone flutes were placed separately in the palms of both hands. Though reunited...In the room.

Shi Xue sat restlessly beside the ice sculpture.

I'm worried that heartless man won't recognize his own relatives and won't know a good person when he sees one. He will ruthlessly destroy innocent flowers like my younger sister. I'm also worried that my younger sister, being as pure as a lamb, will fall prey to his sweet words and be taken advantage of by this heartless man.

While lost in thought, I finally saw a shadowy figure slowly emerge from the doorway.

"Junior Sister!"

Shi Xue got up hurriedly, quickened her pace and walked forward, sizing Shi Mei up from head to toe. Don't get cheated!

Luli's expression and demeanor were unchanged from before, as if she hadn't noticed Shi Xue's strange gaze. She softly asked, "When will the Great Elder return"

“Did you persuade that scoundrel to return the sacred relic”

Master Xue, fox-like doubt.

That guy is rebellious and heartless, not someone you can persuade with just a few words.

Liuli said: "He wants to have a detailed discussion with the Grand Elder."

"I knew it!"

Shi Xue snorted, "Elder Mei has sent a message to the Grand Elder, who will arrive in at least ten days."

Liuli nodded and waved her hand, erasing the ice sculpture. She returned to her meditation cushion and sat down.

Shi Xue's gaze followed Liuli's movements, her red lips moved slightly, wanting to ask something but refraining.

Mingzhu Island.

Fire chamber.

Qin Sang sat by the hearth, unaware of the passing time, not moving at all.

At this time, the fire room was not scorching hot, nor as bright and dazzling as at the beginning, its red glow had faded.

Before him, the hearth fire burned with black flames, like a slumbering black dragon, it was the Nine Nether Demon Fire.

Using magical fire to refine a top-grade magic treasure, even though Qin Sang had already refined the first layer of "Fire Seed Golden Lotus," the consumption was truly astonishing, beads of sweat appearing on his temples.

In the heart of the inferno, a golden liquid formed a perfectly spherical orb, suspended.

The surface of the sphere was mottled and patchy, like fragments of red clouds, transformed from phoenix feathers and jade.

Among the red clouds, blue stars are dotted, it is exactly the Azure Point Gold.

Between the blue stars, there are silver threads connecting them, which are the heavy liquid of the Celestial Crown.

Three kinds of spiritual beings were all thrown into the furnace by Qin Sang, together being melted into the spirit sword's body. As time passed, the sphere stretched and revealed a sword shape, red clouds, blue stars, and silver threads gradually merging with the spirit sword as one, its brilliance waning.

How do you know

The blade shone with golden brilliance, adorned with azure stars.

The sword guard of the red jade carving, silver thread outline.

Instantly, Qin Sang poured another drop of Heavenly Congealed Liquid into the furnace. He clenched his hand tightly, and a layer of silver sheen suddenly appeared on the surface of the Ling Jian, seeping in completely. It was truly a sight to behold – golden radiance dimmed, replaced by shimmering silver light.

Then the hilt and guard melted away, transforming into a blade with no hilt, only three inches long. It shimmered with silvery light.

Compared to when he fought the Demon Elder, his form is completely different, and there's not even a trace of the Golden Abyss Sword.

Qin Sang suddenly opened his eyes, reaching out a hand. The golden sword fell into his palm like a fish swimming. Because he had used it for many years and forged it himself, he didn't need much trouble to activate it at will.

"Finally a peerless treasure!"

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

Qin Sang lightly exhaled, a blood-connected feeling coming from the spirit sword as it was transmitted to her. She smiled.

Only then did he feel utterly exhausted. Leaving the hearth, he returned to his cave dwelling, sat cross-legged in meditation, and quickly restored his energy. Then, he summoned the Jin Chen sword and began to diligently refine it with his full concentration.

The elder, upon hearing the news, would surely come over immediately to demand the holy artifact. Qin Sang had to hurry and get ahead of him, lest there be a rift between them later on and he couldn't use the sword formation, causing his strength to decline instead of rising.

As Qin Sang expected, in less than two days, the new gold-inlaid sword was already as obedient as his arm.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

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

The spirit sword swirled around him, darting in and out of sight, leaving trails of afterimages that formed a net of blades.

Qin Sang tried to activate the Seven Souls Killing Array, practicing a bit. Although he had no opponent, he could sense its power was truly extraordinary. He couldn't help but nod in approval.

That's it for now.

He sheathed his spirit sword and took out a jade slip.

The Jade Tablet held the record of "Seven Buddhas, One Monk," Qin Sang was about to read it, hoping to comprehend this method of cultivating divine powers, when suddenly, a strange wave emanated from a transmission talisman within his Qianjun戒.

The Grand Elder of Xuantian Palace has arrived.

Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat. He took out the sound transmission note, crushed it, and then left the cave dwelling, escaping Mingzhu Island.

He had already chosen his location and made preparations. He flew south for a while, saw an uninhabited island, landed on the shore, and looked east patiently waiting for someone to arrive.

After a short while, two figures appeared at the horizon, striding towards us gracefully like fairies descending from heaven.

One of them was Liuli.

The other person was a beautiful woman in court attire, also wearing a white dress and a phoenix crown. Her bearing was dignified and elegant, clearly someone who had long been in a position of power.

Qin Sang looked behind them and did not find anyone else. It seemed only the two of them had come.

The other party also noticed Qin Sang.

Her glazed lips moved slightly, silently uttering something. The Elder Zhang looked over, his eyes bright and captivating, carrying a hint of pressure in their gaze.

Qin Sang stood with his hands behind his back, calmly facing the elder.

Just one look, Qin Sang felt a twinge of fear towards this elder, daring not to underestimate him in the slightest.

You can't tell anything from its appearance.

The Grand Elder's aura was complete, and his injuries seemed to have healed.

As for the Lingbao, it is even more impossible to keep it outside at all times.

In the blink of an eye, the two women flew over and landed on the island. The Grand Elder quickly scanned the small island before landing on the shore.

"This place is desolate and lacks immortal tea. Please forgive the elder's lack of preparation."

Qin Sang smiled and bowed.

“Qin Daoist, please be modest.”

The elder's voice was as crisp as a young girl's, bowing politely in return. His tone was quite kind, but unconsciously carried a hint of majesty, "The elder is a nominal position within the sect and does not dare to flaunt it outside. My name is Tong Lingyu. I have already learned about Daoist Qin's deeds from Elder Mei and Liuli, and my heart yearns for it."

“You flatter me, my young friend. I'm sure the rumors have been greatly exaggerated. Qin wouldn't dare take such credit!”

Qin Sang readily agreed, then looked at Liuli. He didn't know what Liuli had told the Great Elder, but she nodded slightly. "These few days, thank you for your hard work, Fairy."

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

The glass glaze shook its head silently.

Tong Lingyu's gaze swept over the two of them. After a brief greeting, she did not inquire about the sacred object, but spoke of other matters, "That traitor must have been personally eliminated by Daoist Qin, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the palace master and all the disciples of Xuan Tian Palace."

"Speaking of which, Tong Lingyu solemnly bowed, "I've already learned about what happened at the Demon King Assembly that day. Elder Mei and Elder Lan acted without consideration and, in order to understand the situation, they even attacked you. I wanted to have them come personally to apologize to you, but I was afraid it would be too abrupt and cause you misunderstanding. After returning to the mountain..."

Qin Sang snorted inwardly, he didn't want to be praised so highly. He immediately interrupted Tong Lingyu and said: "Before the Wanmo Conference, I didn't know anything about that person or their connection to Xuantian Palace, nor did I have any grievances with him. Moreover, on that day, I was hunting a Rainbow Rat Demon King when I unexpectedly found a human cultivator's spirit residing within its body. It was purely by chance."

"Rainbow rat"

Tong Lingyu and Liuli looked at each other, their hearts understanding.

The Rainbow Rat's lair is in the eastern region of the demon realm. Xuan Tian Palace is no stranger to it. When chasing down a traitor into the demon realm, they happened to pass by the territory near the Rainbow Rat King. Without Qin Sang explaining, they could guess the reason behind it.

The traitor may have been lurking near the Demon Realm, harassed by rainbow mice.

Tong Lingyu seemed to let out a breath of relief, "Fortunately, the holy artifact did not fall into the hands of the demon clan."

Seeing that Qin Sang was not someone who could be manipulated with words, she stopped beating around the bush and directly pointed out the sacred object, "Forgive this palace for being presumptuous. Liuli said her friend intended to return the sacred object. These days, she probably hasn't changed her mind, has she"

Qin Sang didn't mind, and smiled: "If I had changed my mind, the two of you wouldn't have seen me today! Luckily, Fairy Liuli persuaded me with kind words, and Qin only then realized the meaning of this thing. Xuan Tian Palace adheres to the righteous path, suppressing the Great Sage of the demon clan in the north and preventing him from acting recklessly, while subduing the Demon Flame Old Man in the south, thus maintaining the stability of the cultivation world. We scattered cultivators avoid being caught in the killing tribulation. If I, Qin, occupied the holy artifact of Xuan Tian Palace, wouldn't it be a case of harming oneself for the sake of another"

His words were spoken with righteous conviction.

Liuli kept looking at him.

"Tóng Líng Yù's expression faltered slightly, she remained silent for a moment before replying: “Friend Qin, what you say is very true. However, that traitor possesses quite a bit of supernatural power. Friend Qin eliminating him would inevitably involve great risk. I cannot allow Friend Qin to make such sacrifices in vain."

This text has been removed. Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang didn't answer, but just looked at Tong Lingyu with expectant eyes.

Tong Lingyu glanced at Liuli beside her and said, “I hear that Daoist Qin is quite interested in the Holy Land. If you wish to attend the ceremony, this palace can make arrangements.”

>

Before Qin Sang could show joy.

But it will require some roundabout tactics.

Qin Sang frowned, he knew it couldn't be this simple.

This condition, seemingly requiring nothing from the Xuan Tian Gong, appears to be the easiest of all. Yet Qin Sang's heart was like a mirror, reflecting that this condition was the most difficult to accept.

"Why" Qin Sang asked warily.

Tong Lingyu calmly said: "The holy land is of paramount importance to a sect, needless to say. Especially, the Xuan Tian Palace holy land is crucial to the fundamental cultivation techniques of each lineage, and cannot be compromised. Fellow Daoist Qin should understand how much each lineage values the holy land. On the day the holy land opens, with a powerful figure like you watching from the side, it's inevitable that the lineages will feel suspicion. This place is far from Yinri Realm. By the time we return to our mountains and gather the lineages to discuss a plan, Fellow Daoist Qin may already be impatient."

Qin Sang heard this and fell into deep thought.

Before, he had subtly probed around Liuli and gained a general understanding of the Xuantian Palace.

>

Such a behemoth ruling supreme, it is impossible for internal factions and conflicts to be absent. The Palace Master and the Grand Elder cannot ignore the wishes of each lineage, and even between themselves, there exists a balance of power.

He didn't agree rashly, "How do you want to go about it, fellow Daoist"

"It's so easy!"

Tong Lingyu pointed at Liuli, "Qin Dao-friend, if you don't mind, you can become a guest lecturer at Tingxue Lou. You just need to perform a scene that is reasonable in the situation. Before the Holy Land opens, I will find an excuse to let Qin Dao-friend have the opportunity to observe the ceremony. That way, it won't attract attention. Of course, during this time, you need to disguise yourself as another identity and don't expose your true strength."

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

She just wanted to get the relic back as soon as possible so as not to cause any further trouble.

With the sacred relic lost for so long, although they tried their best to keep it under wraps, there were ripples within Xuan Tian Palace. Some people began to stir, and the pressure on her was immense.

Tong Lingyu didn't worry that Qin Sang would make trouble in the holy land.

First of all, it can be seen that this person has a close relationship with Liuli, and before the opening of the Holy Land, he will make him swear an oath to his heart demon.

Secondly, it won't allow him to truly enter the sacred grounds. The Palace Master will also appear that day.

A guest scholar of Tingxue Lou

Qin Sang didn't object to being a guest minister; it was just an empty title anyway. He could enjoy some perks in advance, and whether or not he contributed later entirely depended on his mood.

However, he keenly sensed the peculiarity in Tong Lingyu's words, "What's the difference between a guest minister of Xuan Tian Palace"

Tong Lingyu explained: "Friend Qin, you may not know that before joining Xuan Tian Palace, each lineage within the palace was an independent sect operating in seclusion. Even now that they belong to the same school, they still maintain a certain degree of autonomy and can invite guest disciples independently. By only joining Ting Xue Lou, you won't attract too much attention."

Liuli spoke at the right moment, explaining the advantages of Tingxue Lou's guest scholars.

Because he was part of the deal, Qin Sang received benefits but wasn't required to shoulder any responsibility towards Tingxue Building. He was even more detached than a guest minister.

At last, Tong Lingyu added, "The divine abilities you displayed before left a deep impression on Elder Mei and the others. They keep talking about it with relish, hehe... For now, it's best to hold back and refrain from making any moves."

Qin Sang pondered silently.

Disguising oneself is not difficult. Within the Xuan Tian Palace, only the Great Elder and the Palace Master's divine senses can match his. Others, unless they possess special divine powers, would find it hard to see through his disguise.

Light Release, Sword Formation, Binding Rasengan, and Fire Style jutsu have all been exposed.

>

However, his methods go beyond this.

He wasn't just proficient in one sword technique. The Qingzhu Jianjing was also a top-tier sword manual, with parts self-realized by Qingzhu differing greatly from the Yuanshen Yangjian Zhang, completely capable of confusing the senses.

He would only need the Seven Souls Killing Formation to deal with the Grand Elder and the Palace Master. At that point, there was no need to hide anymore.

Moreover, there's the newly acquired "Seven Masters of Buddhism," which can be disguised as physical training.

If the Yuan Ying Fu Kui could use the "Nine Nether Returning Yin Jade Chapter" to refine an avatar, he could also impersonate a cultivator relying on his avatar.

It's not a big deal to be low-key.

Thinking of the Yuanying Talisman Puppet, Qin Sang couldn't help but recall the various pieces of information he had gleaned these days through the Dan Ding Hui.

After the Great Demon Assembly, the old man who battled demons chased after a mysterious expert for three thousand miles, but was left behind.

This matter has spread far and wide, becoming a legend.

Strangely, no further information was leaked. Details about the chase, as well as Qin Sang's magical flames, Nascent Soul puppets, and other supernatural abilities, did not circulate outside.

Xuan Tian Gong was unwilling to cause unnecessary trouble and kept it hidden, which is understandable.

The old man of the demon clan didn't seem to think it would be detrimental to his reputation, or perhaps he had some other ulterior motive, as he didn't make a big fuss about it.

"Sure."

Qin Sang nodded, as long as the goal could be achieved, the process didn't matter.

The little fairy, Tong Lingyu, beamed with delight. "Thank you, Daoist Qin, for your understanding. Besides this small favor, I can allow you to enter the treasure vault and choose three treasures!"

Tóng Língyù jí yǒu pò lì.

Qin Sang was also very surprised. He didn't expect this elder to be so straightforward. He hesitated and asked, "Anything can be a treasure"

Tóng Língyù's lips curled slightly, "When Lúilí spoke about it, fellow cultivator, you expressed interest in refining an avatar. As long as you swear not to divulge this, I will pass down the *Nine Netherworld Returning Yin Jade Chapter* to you. However, the Kǎn Shènzhū in the treasure vault has been depleted and we need to wait until new ones are harvested from the sacred land before sending them to you. Of course, that counts as two items!"

Qin Sang knew that the treasure vault couldn't possibly hold the most top-tier treasures of the Xuan Tian Palace, but artifacts like the Kan Shenzhu and the *Nine Underworld Returning Yin Jade Chapter* were alluring enough.

"The surprise brought by my young friend is too great, Qin must take some time to make a decision!"

Qin Sang knew his limits and stopped asking for an exorbitant price.

However, the thing he desired most, Tong Lingyu did not mention, "There is one more thing..."

Before Qin Sang could finish, Tong Lingyu understood. She said in a low voice, “I’m sorry to disappoint Daoist friend, but both the Palace Master and I have heard of Zhongzhou, but there is no sea chart in the palace.”oached.This would crush the two of them into a paste.Crisis is upon us.Qin Sang, however, remained calm in the face of danger. He slightly raised his head and looked at the Demon-Subduing Order with a...
