Chapter 1457: The Final Meeting

ves…”The head of the martial arts school looked a little better and curiously asked, “Were you cultivating on Baimen Island, fellow daoist We’ve probably never met before, have we”Qin Sang shook his h...“He hurt you deeply. You possess a rare talent and natural ability, yet you have wasted so many years. You endured the pain of being emotionally closed off and painstakingly cultivated the Ice Soul Divine Light. But he appeared neither early nor late, precisely at the critical moment when your cultivation was nearing completion, disrupting your heart's path. His heart is truly unforgivable!”

Shi Xue was indignant and angrily denounced the unfaithful person.

Especially that fellow, after seeing his junior sister, he even dared to be aggressive and lay his hands on her. He was truly a heartless and unrighteous wretch, wasting his junior sister's heartfelt devotion.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

Liuli's eyes were a little strange. After Shixue had scolded her thoroughly, she softly said, "I need to go out for a bit."

Shi Xue inhaled deeply, glanced at her junior sister with a solemn expression, and frowned: "That man is so heartless. Are you still going to see him Why not just let the Great Elder and the Demon-Conquering Elder kill him and end this karmic debt!"

The glass is silent.

They looked at each other for a moment.

Shi Xuexin knew her junior sister's stubborn nature. Once she made a decision, no amount of persuasion would change her mind. Unwillingly, she waved her hand and said, "Go go!"

She sat cross-legged on the cushion, her face full of anger and exasperation, yet helpless.

"Thank you."

The glass figure rose, her jade hand gently tapping the ground, leaving behind an ice sculpture. She walked to the door, pausing slightly before saying, "I will persuade him to return the sacred object."

As he spoke, the glazed figure shimmered and vanished silently.

A long sigh echoed in the silent room.

On the reef.

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

Qin Sang was busy for a while, and then set up another array.

Then he sped eastward for a while, searching around, and soon saw the place that Chen Yan had mentioned.

There are seven small islands here, arranged in a pattern like the Big Dipper. They are not difficult to find. The largest is only about a thousand meters in size, while the smaller ones resemble large rocks.

Qin Sang perched high above, surveying the scene before landing on the largest island.

The island was uninhabited and the scenery was beautiful.

He casually sat cross-legged under an ancient tree, closing his eyes to meditate.

I don't know how long ago it was.

Qin Sang suddenly felt a presence, her eyes flew open, gazing towards the east.

The bright, full moon.

A solitary figure in white appeared beneath the moon, moving gracefully like a fairy from the Lingbo realm. This was Chenyan, she had come alone, with no one else accompanying her.

Qin Sang's divine sense had made great strides, and coupled with the magical powers of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly, it was difficult for any disguise to escape his eyes.

He looked at the familiar yet strange figure, his eyes complex. He stood up, straightened his clothes, released his aura, and walked out of the forest.

A gentle breeze blew past.

Liuli pressed down on her escape light, lightly stepping onto the bank. Her cold eyes turned, falling upon Qin Sang's face that wasn't wearing a mask.

Qin Sang met her gaze calmly, sizing up the only woman in his life who had ever touched his skin. The long years had left not a single mark on her exquisite beauty, just as breathtaking as when they first met.

This is a placeholder text.

However, at that time, his primary emotion was fear.

This sentence is a bit unusual. It seems to be saying "less than paragraph greater than". Here's how it might look in English:

Even though they had only met twice, Qin Sang could tell that she had changed significantly. Her aura was colder than before, like a glacier.

After a long silence.

Qin Sang glanced at her back and spoke first, breaking the silence, "I didn't expect you to come yourself."

"We have no grudge against each other."

The glazed voice was calm.

Qin Sang nodded and sighed, "Indeed, back then, fortunately, the fairy intervened, thwarting Dong Yang Bo's plot, allowing me to escape his clutches. The name Chen Yan must be an alias, right"

"You create opportunities, I strike back, it's for myself."

Liuli said earnestly, not taking credit for herself.

She didn't ask Qin Sang how he left back then, where he had been hiding all those years. She paused for a moment, "Chenyan is a common name. My master took me in and gave me the name Liuli."

"Glass..."

Qin Sang looked into her eyes, they were indeed as clear as glass. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He took out the mysterious ice box, coughed lightly, and smiled, "Since the fairy gave me this ice pearl, are you not afraid that I will deduce the method of concealing the seal from it and keep it for myself"

Chen Yan didn't seem to hear Qin Sang's teasing, and still answered seriously, "My kung fu is special, others can't replicate it. If I don't help you isolate the seal, you will be suspicious."

Of course, I know your intentions. There's no need to be so rigid.

Besides, she only answers one question at a time. It's really troublesome communicating with this ice queen. I wonder if this is just her true nature or if these changes and hardships have caused her to be like this.

Qin Sang muttered to himself, thinking about all the past events. He and Liuli could be considered to have suffered from the same disease. With a sigh, he collected his thoughts and said seriously: "Fairy, do you want me to return this item"

Seeing Liuli nod, Qin Sang curiously followed up with, “How do you plan to persuade me What can I get”

"I can help you with a fair trade."

Liuli's gaze fell on the ice casket.

Fair trade.

Qin Sang believed she certainly understood that fairness was relative. After some thought, he asked, "Do you mean you'll tell me its origins, value, and the bottom line Xuan Tian Palace can bear"

Here's the translation:

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

Her glazed, exquisite head tilted slightly, and before Qin Sang could ask anything, she proactively explained, "This is a sacred artifact from the Xuan Tian Palace."

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

Relic!

Qin Sang was solemn, no wonder Xuan Tian Palace made a grand move.

As the founder of this sect, Qin Sang was very clear that something that could be revered as a sacred relic by a sect wasn't necessarily a peerless treasure unique in the world, but it definitely held great importance to the sect. In severe cases, it even concerned the rise and fall of the sect.

Once a sacred object is lost, it will be retrieved at all costs.

If it weren't for the difficult-to-break seal, there would still be room for buffering, and Xuan Tian Palace would probably have gone mad, causing a huge storm.

"What is sealed inside, and what is its purpose"

Qin Sang pressed for more.

I thought Luli would hold back.

To everyone's surprise, Liuli didn't show any hesitation or embarrassment. "Sacred artifacts are the key to opening the Holy Land," she said.

Qin Sang thought to himself, "Indeed. A holy land is some kind of secret realm, isn't it"

"The glazed puppet shook its head, and to clarify, added a few more sentences. "The environment inside the sacred land is unique, and it has special effects on certain cultivation techniques, but I haven't been in. The sacred land was supposed to open recently, but an accident led to the theft of a sacred artifact."

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

She seemed to have not spoken this much in a long time, her words coming out slowly.

Qin Sang listened carefully, falling into thought. The unexpected news Liuli mentioned should refer to Gui Mu infiltrating Xuantian Palace.

Could the Ghost Mother's intentions be related to the Holy Land

Qin Sang the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. If she only wanted the nautical chart, she could have just gone to him directly. There was no need to go through all this trouble of sneaking in and making a ruckus at Xuan Tian Palace.

Thinking about this, he didn't directly ask, deciding to probe indirectly.

"Most people in Xuantian Palace cultivate the Ice Cold Dao" Qin Sang pursued, If it only worked on cultivators of this type of cultivation method, the Xuantian Palace sacred land would have little effect on him.

"Yes."

Liuli returned to her taciturn state, confirming the matter.

"If it's a key, why would that person betray the Xuantian Palace and steal the sacred relic Doesn't he want to monopolize the sacred land" Qin Sang sensed something strange.

>The relic is certainly not just for this one use.

"The entrance to the Holy Land is a forbidden zone, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."

First, Liuli dispelled Qin Sang's idea of infiltrating the holy land herself, and said, "It is a piece of ice demon crystal."

“Ice Demon’s Crystal”

Qin Sang frowned, lowering her head in thought. All the ancient texts she had ever seen made no mention of anything related to this kind of treasure.

"The crystal core left behind after the Ice Demon's fall."

Saying this, Liuli’s tone faltered slightly, sensing Qin Sang's confusion. "Bing Yao are unique spirit beasts born from heaven and earth. Cultivators who refine the Bing Yao's body and crystal have a chance to achieve great success in the Bing Yao form and advance to the late stage of Yuan Ying."

Hearing the four words "Ice Demon's Body," Qin Sang immediately thought of the strange spirit body of the man in white.

No wonder that person was willing to betray their master and steal the sacred object.

In today's cultivation world, the late stage of Nascent Soul is already an existence standing at the pinnacle. This temptation is already great enough.

After some deliberation, Qin Sang asked, “Is the Ice Demon’s body a secret art that focuses solely on cultivating one's primordial spirit”

Liuli wasn't surprised that Qin Sang knew this, after all, most traitors died at his hands. She corrected him: "It’s not a secret technique, but a spiritual cultivation method. The soul transforms into an ice demon, existing in spirit form."

What a marvelous technique!

Qin Sang's heart moved, and she eagerly asked for details.

Liuli's speech was a little smoother than before. "Cultivating the ice demon body, the primordial spirit draws on the essence of the fleshly body, transforming into an ice demon spirit body. The physical body is a container, which can be refined into something like a natal magic treasure or a puppet. This method has flaws, with only the Nascent Soul part remaining. Only cultivators of the Ice Cold Dao can forcibly revise it, and it is extremely dangerous, prone to loss of control, with nine deaths out of ten. It's not something to be attempted lightly unless one is desperate."

She seemed to be explaining, yet also warning.

Qin Sang wasn't worried about losing control.

But giving up his physical body to exist as a spirit was something he found hard to accept. After years of accumulation, his cultivation base and the physical body he had meticulously refined with starlight were all to be abandoned.

According to his experience, the current three-system cultivation is the right path. The Ice Demon's physique is purely spiritual cultivation, even more extreme than the worldly cultivators.

Besides, refining the ice demon crystal is the only way to advance to the later stages, which holds little appeal for him.

He has ample time to prepare for breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

If it were an opportunity to become a god, he might still hesitate.

Please note: I only translated the content within the > tags. I left the HTML tags as they were.

Qin Sang flashed this thought, and continued to ask, "Is the Ice Demon Crystal only used for this one purpose"

Luli increasingly spoke freely, calmly stating: "The Ice Demon Crystal is related to the holy land. Very few people in the Xuan Tian Palace know about it. I once heard my master say that it is stored in the forbidden land of Unfrozen Spring, absorbing the power of the cold spring, its spirit fading, equivalent to a dead object. It has three effects. First, it can cultivate the body of an ice demon. Second, it can allow the Ghost King to merge. If it withstands the impact, it can directly transform into an ice demon. Third, it is refined by fellow demons, strengthening their bloodline."

"At last, she added, "It's just a guess, not confirmed."

Upon hearing this, Qin Sang suddenly realized.

>

The ghost controlled by the Demon-Dabbling Elder is undoubtedly of the Ghost King level. The Ice Fiend Crystal has a great attraction to him, which is why Xuan Tian Palace guards against the Demon-Dabbling Elder.

At least, for now, there's no need to worry about Xuantian Palace and the Demon-Taming Elder teaming up to retrieve the sacred artifact.

Qin Sang pondered these thoughts, lowered his head to glance at the ice box in his hand, and said thoughtfully, "That being the case, unless I want to change my cultivation to that of an Ice Demon or have a Ghost King as a servant. For me, this holy artifact is useless."

He didn't fully trust Liuli's words, but after sifting through their recent conversation, he couldn't find any inconsistencies.

Qin Sang didn't try to get to the bottom of it, because he believed that Liuli must have ulterior motives for doing so. If there was anything she was hiding from him, she would surely slip up.

"Yes!"

Liuli's voice was grave, "You're very dangerous!"

Does it mean that possessing the Ice Demon's Crystal is very dangerous

Qin Sang raised her head and looked into Liuli's eyes. Her gaze was still clear and tranquil, unable to reveal her true thoughts. What was she really thinking

After pondering for a moment, Qin Sang laughed softly and said casually, "I heard that the headmaster of Xuan Tian Palace is in poor condition and cannot act easily. Apart from him, are there a few others who could threaten me"

Her glazed eyes flickered with surprise, astonished that Qin Sang actually knew so much about the Palace Master of Xuan Tian Palace.

"It's not hard to guess, with the loss of a sacred artifact from Xuan Tian Palace and the palace master nowhere to be seen, he must either be unable to take action or is preoccupied with something more important than a holy land. Could it be that you plan to join forces with the Demon Slayer"

Qin Sang did not mention that he knew the Ghost Mother had caused a ruckus at the Xuan Tian Palace.

He was still unclear about what the Ghost Mother had done in Xuan Tian Palace. What if the Palace Master of Xuan Tian Palace was the one she had injured, or stolen some important treasure If Xuan Tian Palace couldn't find the real culprit and took their anger out on him, it would be a grave injustice.

Liuli nodded slightly, acknowledging Qin Sang's statement. After a moment of silence, she said: "Not for now."

Qin Sang nodded secretly, and as expected before, Xuan Tian Palace was definitely seeking a deal with him. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they wouldn't dare to risk cooperating with the Demonic Old Man.

“Who are they if not the Palace Master and the Demonic Cultivator” Qin Sang asked curiously.

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

"Grand Elder."

The glass added an explanation: "Before the Grand Demon Conference, the Great Elder received news that the traitor had fought with the Demon King, and the holy artifact may have fallen into the hands of the demon race. Therefore, he went to the Demon Realm alone."

Qin Sang was taken aback and immediately guessed the source of the news, finding it both amusing and ridiculous.

He must be Feng Shangshi. He wouldn't be willing to have worked in vain. Thinking that the treasure had fallen into the hands of the Demon King, he deliberately spread this news to attract Xuan Tian Gong and cause trouble for Bi Fang.

Qin Sang heard that the Wind Whisper Master and a few others had discussed using someone else to kill, but they didn't want to get burned themselves, causing chaos around Fengyang Mountain. Therefore, they wouldn't make it public, and only recently did it reach the ears of Xuan Tian Palace.

I wonder if the Grand Elder has found Bi Fang yet

If Bi Fang knew the truth, he would be furious and smoke would be coming out of his seven orifices!

Qin Sang thought that Bi Fang was hiding in his cave dwelling, disaster had come from the sky, and suddenly felt schadenfreude, laughing in his heart, "The Grand Elder is also a cultivator"

He once again marveled at the profound depth of Xuan Tian Palace's heritage.

On the surface, there's the Palace Master who commands respect throughout the land. But behind the scenes, there's also a Grand Elder overseeing things. If not for Ghost Mother stirring up trouble, even that traitor with his pre-planned scheme wouldn't have had a chance to steal the sacred relic.

His heart skipped a beat. Could the Grand Elder be her master

Attracted by the topic of relics, Qin Sang had completely forgotten to ask her how she dealt with her grievances with Dongyang Bo in the end, and whether she saved her master.

"No."

Liuli's answer was somewhat beyond Qin Sang's expectation. Before Qin Sang could ask, she continued, "The Great Elder has long been at the peak of the Yuan Ying mid-stage, with her divine consciousness taking form, not weaker than you. She once fell into a demonic fire, laying the groundwork for disaster, which led to her failure in breaking through to the late Yuan Ying stage, and thus became stuck at this bottleneck."

Half a foot into the late stage of Nascent Soul.

The spirit transformed into a physical form.

Qin Sang's mind flashed a figure, the old demon Mu from Canglang Sea!

Please note: The context you provided contains only a closing paragraph tag. There is no text to translate. If you have any other text you'd like me to translate, please provide it!

Among those Qin Sang had encountered, there was Ye Lao Mo, who relied on avatars to suppress cultivators of higher cultivation, and his unpredictable senior sister. Mu Lao Mo was the first among those below Great Cultivators.

The Grand Elder is supported by the Xuan Tian Palace, and his strength may even surpass that of Old Demon Mu.

At this time.

Liuli's voice paused, and she said in a low tone, “The Great Elder possesses a spiritual treasure!”
