Chapter 1805: Retreat

hould he choose not to, Fellow Daoist Yu Kong will not force him. Of course, during the breaking of the formation, we must all work together with no selfish intentions. What does Master Dao think"The...The jade tiles reflected the figures of the two people walking.

The inner tower shimmers with light, giving the impression of a space constantly twisting and distorting. It involuntarily makes one feel on edge, but according to Venerable Zhenru, the first level is actually safe.

At this time, Qin Sang put away the Buddha's Seal and was not repelled by the Vajra Pagoda.

Truly, the Venerable walked and described to Qin Sang layer by layer the sealings within the King Kong Fu Tower, taking out some things and handing them to Qin Sang. They were all treasures that helped break the sealings.

After careful discussion, the two decided that True Such would lead the way first. Qin Sang followed behind, familiarizing himself with the Vajra Pagoda and bringing into play the advantages of his dual cultivation practice.

Then, Qin Sang drew out the Huīyíng Sword. The sword hung suspended in mid-air, its radiance bathing the two of them.

Not long after, the two walked to the end and saw a Buddha statue.

Unlike the solemn Buddha statues in temples, this one is only human-sized. Its features are lifelike, as if it were carved from a real monk.

The monk was dressed in simple robes, his feet resting on a lotus platform. He lowered his gaze, bowing respectfully, one hand offering a gesture of salutation while the other grasped a crescent moon meditation staff tipped with nine golden Buddha beads.

Compared to the imposing Crescent Moon Zen Staff, the monk's body seemed rather thin, giving the impression that man and weapon were ill-suited.

When Qin Sang walked in front of the Buddha statue, his gaze was immediately drawn to the monk's eyes.

It's hard to imagine that these are carved eyes. At first glance, they give off a very kind impression. But when you look into the eyes of the Buddha statue, you realize that they seem to contain endless Buddhist principles. You get lost in them deeply.

"Be careful, human."

The Venerable truly recited the Buddha's name.

When he first entered the Kongoji Pagoda, he was attracted by the Buddha statue's eyes. Luckily, with the records left by his ancestors in mind, he was on guard and managed to break free in time.

If one plunges deeply and cannot extricate oneself, it is not necessarily that they will be lost, but their mind may be stirred. It requires a long time to calm down. This time venturing into the tower has yet to begin, and it seems like we'll have to return empty-handed.

Qin Sang slowly retracted his gaze, his expression as usual. He learned from Zhen Ru's demeanor and bowed to the Buddha statue before sitting down on a lotus platform in front of it.

The next moment, Qin Sang only felt the light and shadow before her eyes change. The Buddha statue in front of him suddenly disappeared, replaced by two stunning women, their clothes thin and alluring, swaying gracefully towards them.

A woman's every smile and glance held an alluring charm, her eyes filled with affection. Her figure was graceful, revealing hidden beauty in every movement. Accompanied by boundless enchanting melodies, she stirred desire, like a celestial demon dancing in legend.

A person with a weaker mind, seeing this scene, would probably be overcome with desire and unable to control themselves.

"Please follow the monk. If you feel unwell, you may take that pill…"

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

As the venerable one's voice rang out, he pointed to the jade bottle just given to Qin Sang.

He devoted himself to Buddhism from a young age, viewing these women as mere mortals destined for oblivion.

However, the power of the Heavenly Demon Dance will grow stronger and stronger.

Moreover, this celestial demon dance is no ordinary illusionary realm. It stirs the deepest desires in a person's heart. In the end, if Daoist Dong Xuan's mind is not strong enough or he becomes even slightly careless, he could also lose control of his spirit.

What are the consequences of being lost here, even the venerable one doesn't know for sure. Throughout history, every master of Jingtai Temple who explored the Vajra Stupa has been very careful.

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

Truly, the Venerable One does not know, Qin Sang has a jade Buddha's protection. Such a level of Heavenly Demon's dance cannot shake his mind.

Qin Sang possessed clear divine wisdom, but he did not show it. He greeted True Venerable Zhen Ru with a polite "hello," then rose and followed him, closing his eyes and walking step by step behind him.

The venerable one, with palms pressed together and lips moving in recitation of scriptures, walked forward slowly.

The two moved between the dances of heavenly demons.

The melodious sounds wafted into my ears, igniting a fire within me. Even if I shut out all my senses, it would be impossible to escape their allure.

More and more women are coming out of the shadows, and the scene is becoming increasingly diverse, but it's still a sight to behold.

Some even clung to them, whispering softly, their breath like orchids, the feeling of touch as if real.

Truth-Seeker and Qin Sang averted their gazes, passing through layers of illusions, until they finally stopped before an archway.

The gate of the arch was transparent, like a portal of light. This was the seal of the Pagoda of Floating Tombs. The moment they stood before it, the power of the celestial demon dance surged threefold.

Master Zhenru's gaze narrowed slightly, and with a single palm, he struck the archway heavily. With a resounding 'crack', the light gate shattered into pieces.

As soon as the two people stepped into the room, the heavenly demon dance vanished instantly.

Truly, the Venerable looked at Qin Sang. Seeing his expression as usual, he nodded and said: "The next layer is the Blood Pool Hell."

Qin Sang had already seen the blood wave surging forward from ahead.

Wow!

>

A deluge of blood surrounded them.

The Blood Pool Hell is one of the eighteen hells in Buddhist scriptures. The name given to this place by Jingtai Temple is quite evocative.

The blood pool water carries a foul stench.

Qin Sang urged his true essence, forming a protective qi shield to block the blood water. He saw that all around him was filled with blood water, a horrifying scene of crimson.

Then, Qin Sang discovered that although he had blocked the blood water, the stench could penetrate his protective qi and seep into his body.

Here is your translated text:

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

As the stench accumulates, not only will flesh and bone decay, but true essence will also be contaminated, which is terrifying.

Qin Sang once again circulated the Vajra Celestial Helm Seal, but it could only weaken the penetration of the foul qi and couldn't completely block it.

"Wow!"

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

The blood around was boiling.

Blood formed grotesque, monstrous demons with ferocious faces that glared at them and lunged fiercely.

Truly, the honorable one didn't know when he took out his staff and struck it repeatedly. The evil ghost transformed into a bloody mist and exploded.

Qin Sang also made a move, and had a startling discovery. Every time he killed a demon, he would be tainted with a foul aura.

“Ahead lie the Ice Hell and Fire Hell, both with similar evil spirits. When I entered the tower alone, I reached the end of the Fire Hell, my body already filled with a vast amount of filth, cold ice, and fiery qi, clashing against each other. Even entering the sixth layer, I had no strength left to go further…”

True Ruler and Qin Sang walked side by side, joining forces to slay the ghosts. As they did so, True Ruler recounted their past experiences in detail.

From the outside, the Giant Pagoda has seven layers.

There are no upper and lower levels within the tower.

According to Venerable True, the space where the Buddha statue is located is the first layer, the Heavenly Demon's dance is the second layer, and the three realms of hell are the third, fourth, and fifth layers respectively. The sixth layer seal is the last layer. As long as it can be broken, you can get the treasure on the seventh layer!

But the final layer of seals kept all the high monks of Jingtai Temple outside the door.

When breaking through the first few layers of seals, there will always be residual energy left behind. Without a chance to catch their breath along the way, by the time they reach the sixth layer, their strength is inevitably depleted. Even if they gather various pills and treasures as assistance, they are still unable to break through the final layer of seal.

With Qin Sang's help this time, the two shared the burden together.

This is a simple test.

Qin Sang tried several talismans and Taoist techniques, but none could withstand the invasion of the filthy aura. He simply summoned his Gray Warbler Sword, its sword qi like a forest, opening a path through the blood pool hell cave.

The two dashed forward, piercing through the blood pool and arriving at the end, where they saw a gate identical to the one before.

The archway was shattered, and a biting wind slammed into them, instantly covering them in a layer of frost.

The two of them marched forward braving the cold wind, the biting chill constantly invading their bodies. Even with their cultivation, they both felt a sense of being frozen solid.

Qin Sang discovered a problem: the seal within the tower was indeed strong, but after they passed three levels, they hadn't encountered any life-threatening dangers.

Rather than being used to prevent outsiders from breaking the seal, it's more like a test and trial.

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

According to the revered monks of Jingtai Temple throughout history, the seventh layer is believed to contain a Buddhist treasure. This belief is the basis for their judgment.

Having passed through the icy hell, the two entered the volcano hell where flames raged.

A sea of crimson, flames engulfed them, as if an intangible fire pierced through layers of defense, burning them to the core.

Truly, the Venerable One took out a warm jade, holding it in his mouth. This was a treasure Mirror Platform Temple had searched for many years to find, capable of relieving stress and even effective in the volcanic hell.

Qin Sang's eyes flashed. He considered himself quite accomplished in the way of fire control. Without taking any other action, he sensed the intangible fire invading his body and silently circulated the Fire Lotus, but unexpectedly found that the intangible fire was unyielding to his suppression.

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

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Sang realized that the flames in the volcano hell looked real, but they were most likely not true spiritual fire, but rather some kind of special formation evolving into a false object.

Even he and Tiandu Butterfly couldn't tell the difference between real and fake. Qin Sang marveled at it and had to say it was amazing.

Countless flames formed by wraiths rushed towards them, the two fighting their way through a fiery path to reach the seal.

Swords and staffs emerge simultaneously, shattering the seal, stepping into the sixth layer!

Qin Sang sensed the chaotic qi within her body, a mixture of impurities, coldness, and blazing heat that intertwined. It had to be constantly suppressed; it was impossible to eradicate it in such a short time.

Truly, the Venerable One also sensed a change within himself. His condition was indeed much better than before. Overjoyed, he said, "This is the Eighteen Bronze Man Formation! Our temple's ancestors had once broken three people at most."

The sixth layer offered no illusions. Instead, they were met by eighteen monks cast in bronze.

The bronze monk actually seemed like a living thing, bowing to the two people.

Then, the eighteen bronze monks flickered and instantly formed a formation, raising their copper staffs to attack them.

...'whoosh whoosh whoosh'

A strong gust of wind came.

In an instant, the two of them were surrounded by a throng of people. Eighteen copper monks had them encircled.

Eighteen bronze monks surrounded them, moving at lightning speed.

In the next moment, eighteen copper rods appeared above the two men's heads, bearing down with a terrifying roar.

"Amitabha Buddha."

As the Venerable one uttered, his right palm rose above his head, swelling like air being blown into it, and transforming into jade.

'

Boom!

'

The giant hand met the copper rod head-on.

He wasn't fighting alone. Qin Sang also made his move, the Turning Altar Seal almost simultaneously contacting the Eighteen Bronze Spears with the Sky-Piercing Giant Palm.

One rigid and one soft, two completely different powers, cooperate seamlessly. They not only repelled the copper stick, but also, under their deliberate control, the formation of the Eighteen Copper Man Array was also affected.

The next moment, as if the venerable one had cast some spell, his entire body was bathed in Buddha's light, surging from the top of his head. In an instant, it transformed into a gigantic pillar that reached for the sky.

The giant pillar tilted to one side, menacingly. Some bronze monks had no choice but to raise their staffs in defense.

At this moment, a cold light flashed in Qin Sang's eyes. Suddenly, with a shout of his sword, the Gray Warbler Sword appeared above a copper monk, accompanied by seven phantom images of Qin Sang's sword spirits.

Seven Souls Killing Formation!

"Whoosh!"

>

The sword light was like electricity.

When the bronze monk was in imminent danger with nowhere to escape, it manifested Buddha's light and other bronze monks suddenly appeared around it out of thin air.

Unfortunately, the sword light was too fast. Before the bronze monk could recover his formation, it had already struck down.

'Bang!'

The sound of the bronze bells reverberated throughout the space. The bronze monks shattered into pieces, fragments of bronze scattering across the ground. The other bronze monks couldn't help but be stunned.

True to his words, the Venerable's face lit up with surprise. He was astonished by the power of the Seven Souls Killing Formation. And what delighted him was that they had managed to kill a bronze monk so quickly; this was something unprecedented before.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Truly, the Venerable roared with approval, and upon his body was a golden armor donned at some unknown time. Like a bolt of thunder, he charged toward the other bronze monks.

They took the initiative and killed one bronze monk, causing many of the eighteen bronze figures' formations to be unable to be deployed. However, the bronze figure formation did not weaken too much. It seemed that because of the death of their companion, the bronze monks became enraged, and their strength increased as a result.

However, without a tight formation, trying to restrict Qin Sang would be futile.

Just as the Venerable exerted all his effort to restrain the Copper Monk army, Qin Sang patiently waited for an opportunity, killing one Copper Monk with every sword strike.

With the passage of time, the number of copper monks is decreasing.

Ten, nine, eight...

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

The enraged copper monk, though individually stronger, could not stop his inevitable demise.

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

Just as the two were overjoyed and began to anticipate the Buddha's relic in the tower, a sudden change occurred.

The remaining six bronze monks roared to the heavens, suddenly hurling their copper staffs into the sky.

'Bang!'

The copper sticks clashed, sending a blinding flash of gold flying.

Six monks sprang up, merging themselves with the golden light. The moment they approached the light, it was as if they were being scorched by the sun and melted away, their bodies twisting and contorting into strange shapes.

'Boom!'

The golden sun shines brightly, its rays scorching.

Qin Sang and True Lord Zhenru both changed color. They sensed the terror of the golden light, as if it could melt everything.

Golden light pierced the space, Qin Sang's pale golden skin turned gold, giving an illusion that his flesh and bones were about to melt away.

Golden light is everywhere, the fragments of true treasures are useless.

The Heavenly Eye Butterfly secretly cast the Separation and Reunion Divine Light, but it could only temporarily alleviate the situation.

What's even more terrifying is that the dead bronze monks are melting away one by one, merging into the golden light. The power of the golden light is still growing stronger.

Qin Sang hadn't summoned the Gang Huo Zhao yet, but the struggling Zhen Ru Zun could no longer hold on.

Furthermore, Qin Sang estimated that even when the golden light reached its peak and summoned the Gang Huo shield, it would be of no use.

He felt a fatal threat!

"Rewind!"

Qin Sang shouted loudly, truly like the Venerable's eyes were filled with unwillingness, but he could only retreat.

The instant they exited the archway, they appeared outside the Diamond Sutra Pagoda.

Being so close to the Buddha relic, no one had expected such a change. As the venerable master sighed, he couldn't help but feel discouraged. With their cultivation level, they were simply unable to withstand the golden light.

Qin Sang pondered for a long time without speaking. Finally, he proposed to take a break before attempting again.

A month later.

The two entered the Diamond Sutra Pagoda once more, still bathed in golden light.

This is a test.

"In the short term, we can't get past this obstacle," Qin Sang stated firmly.

"Truly, the venerable one spoke in a low voice: “Forgive my boldness, esteemed sir, but may I request that you bestow upon our temple the ‘Seven Masters and Buddha-Print’ This humble monk will do his utmost to fulfill your wishes.”

Qin Sang guessed that, as the Venerable intended, he wanted to use this Buddha's Print to invite cultivators to be his higher-ranking helpers.

It's just the , Qin Sang suspected it might be a dismantled Great Sun Wheel Seal, how could it be easily leaked.

In fact, he did not give it his all.

Though the Vermillion Bird's spirit hadn't awakened, he could still barely activate the nine divine birds on the Sun God Tree.

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

But their purpose was treasure hunting, not killing enemies. The sixth layer wasn't large; the nine birds and Jin Ri collided, leaving them nowhere to hide.

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

One should also be wary of others and not trust them completely. He couldn't possibly give his all here.

Qin Sang pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest with Your Reverence, this Buddhist Seal is not yet complete. And I sense that it has a special resistance to golden light. Would Your Reverence be willing to wait a while longer"

If his feeling is right, the Seven Seals merging has a chance to withstand the golden light and break the final seal.pected it might be related to the Heavenly Dao Devil Sound.If he guessed correctly, the master of the second heavenly demon's magic must be incredibly powerful.He was targeted by this celestial demon....
