Chapter 1742: Huá Lóng Pool
couldn't utter a sound. At the same time, his throat was in agonizing pain, as if being gripped by ghostly claws around his neck.>He reluctantly lowered his head, peering through the ghostly claws....If one manages to refine the Qilin's Source Seed, it will be of endless use.
Needless to say, Qin Sang also knew in his heart that the origin of an ancient powerful being wouldn't be so easily taken. There must be protective measures in place.
Even if the source of the Kirin's seed could be found, it wouldn't be something a mere cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage could break. If they were blinded by the treasure's allure, they would be courting death.
Now Qin Sang's only curiosity was where the Qilin's origin was hidden.
He most hopes that the Qilin Origin and the Qilin Source Species are the same, falling into this world.
In this realm, there are no cultivators stronger than the Nascent Soul Stage. No matter how long the Qilin Source sleeps, there is no need to worry about being overtaken by others.
When one's cultivation base is sufficient, breaking through the realm may not be impossible. Then, find a way to obtain the treasure.
It is too early to think about these things. Qin Sang dispelled his distractions, following Zhuque's guidance, and quietly sensed the source of the Kirin lineage.
In Qin Sang's eyes, this was just an unremarkable transparent lotus seed. No matter how many times his divine sense scanned it, he couldn't detect anything unusual about it.
According to the Zhuque method, Qin Sang's divine consciousness moved, and she sensed something different inside the lotus seed.
>
Zhuge had spoken lightly about it, perhaps because of the difference in their races. Qin Sang circulated his secret techniques with great difficulty, daring not to relax for even a moment. Layer by layer, he carefully infiltrated the Qilin origin seed, until he sensed a strange power within its lotus heart.
According to Suzaku, this power was the essence of the Qilin's origin, but Qin Sang still couldn't sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy.
This is the profound mystery of the methods used by ancient divine beasts. When the Qilin's source species falls dormant, it is like true death. Even those who cultivate the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" cannot detect it when the Qilin's source species begins to recover within their bodies.

He could only vaguely sense it, unable to manipulate the essence of the qilin's source.
There should be a restriction left behind by Qilin among the sources. When Zhuque was at its peak, it might have been able to easily take it, but now it cannot directly absorb it.
Zhuge's method was simple, to use their own way against them. Still, Qin Sang had to use the 《Fire Seed Golden Lotus》 to take the Qilin source seed into his body and try to suppress the Qilin true spirit. When it was unconscious and unaware, he would absorb its essence.

Of course, it's not that easy to actually do it.
Qin Sang pondered for several days, during which time he generously asked Zhu Que for advice before taking action.
The fire lotus flew out from between her brows and hung before her.
At the same time, a strand of divine consciousness pulled the Kirin source seed and slowly flew towards the fire lotus. It stopped about three inches above the fire lotus.
>
He had not yet brought the second layer to its peak. The lotus at the center of the fire was tightly clasped, but at this moment, a thread-like flame rose from it, winding around the surface of the Qilin source seed. Black flames spread out, encasing the Qilin source seed.
The solar tree stood beside Qin Sang, its branches adorned with nine divine birds who gazed at it with envious and resentful eyes.
Qin Sang's gaze was also fixed on the Qilin source species. His thoughts flickered, and his seals changed rapidly, striking out like flowing water.
As soon as he looked, he saw flames surging and rolling endlessly above the altar. Immediately, the firelight twisted and churned, and one after another, fire talismans emerged, flashing before disappearing into the heart of the flames.
Until the very end, the Qilin seed suddenly trembled, as if being pulled downward by that thread of flame. It continued to fall even after touching the flower bud, plummeting into the lotus heart without any resistance!
At this point, it's all about using the "Fire Lotus" technique to integrate the Qilin Source Seed back into the fire lotus. Now comes the crucial part.
Qin Sang's expression darkened, his divine sense poured out from his brow without reservation. An invisible ripple rippled through the cabin as a majestic and boundless force materialized in midair, swirling once before converging towards the fire lotus.
>
Flames burn bright!
The fire lotus swayed gently, its petals trembling.
On the surface, it still seems calm.
The divine consciousness surged like a tide, continuously flowing into the Fire Lotus, transforming into countless intangible spirit seals that successively merged into the Kirin source seed.

For a while, Qin Sang even broke out in a sweat on his temples, clearly not feeling at ease.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Sang suddenly let out a long sigh. The fire lotus shuddered and returned to normal.
The sunbird Qiqi pouted, of course Zhuque hoped Qin Sang would fail. Forced to ask for its help, she hoped to take advantage of the situation and gain something in return, but unfortunately it didn't go as planned.
Whoosh!
The fire lotus drifted into Qin Sang's palm. Qin Sang didn't rush to adjust his breath and recover, staring intently at the heart of the lotus, sensing something extra inside, but it was as one with the fire lotus, showing no abnormality.
Absorbing the essence of a variety of sources is not a task that can be accomplished overnight, but this step was completed so smoothly, which gave Qin Sang immense confidence.
The only drawback is that one must constantly operate their spiritual awareness and maintain the secret method.
After a moment of thought, Qin Sang put away the Fire Lotus and turned his gaze to the Sun God Tree, asking, "How did you come to have the True Feather of the Phoenix"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
When the Qilin’s essence entered his body, Qin Sang was unable to continue refining the Spirit Fire and cultivating the “Fire Seed Golden Lotus.” However, after this matter was accomplished, he would surely make great progress, surpassing the advancement gained from conventional cultivation.
This period, it's best to hand over the Heavenly Phoenix True Feather to Suzaku. Let it thoroughly comprehend it. When the time comes, it can directly provide itself with the Phoenix True Flame.
>
When Zhuque heard this, her spirits lifted. She exclaimed, “It’s simple. You just strike it into the heart of the divine tree. As for where I am, you don't need to worry about that.”
“This…”
Qin Sang frowned, scanning the divine birds on the branches, "Won't it affect the Sun God Tree"
So far, the Sun God Tree remains his most powerful weapon, leaving no room for error.
The true feather of Zhuque was placed beneath the tree trunk, suppressed by green copper and tortoise shells. It wasn't a spatial treasure, and the cramped space was filled with violent Nanming Lihuo, barely maintaining balance.
Throwing Tenpho's True Feather in could cause a conflict between the two true flames, destroying the Sun God Tree. Wouldn't that be a loss we couldn't afford
“Don't worry, although this Zhuque can't control true fire, these years it has been able to restrain itself somewhat. The feathers are severely damaged, and the power of true fire has been dormant for many years. As long as it's not overly stimulated, nothing will happen. If I can't suppress it, you can just take it out again.”
Zhuge was very confident, and his tone was somewhat impatient. Qin Sang promised to give it some of the Phoenix True Fire.
Qin Sang looked doubtful. This young spirit's words and actions were truly unconvincing.
>
He relentlessly questioned him until he understood everything. Seeing Zhuque's clear and logical answers, he had a profound understanding of her knowledge and nodded slightly. He then invoked the sun god tree and retrieved the Heavenly Phoenix True Feather.
With the help of Zhuque, Qin Sang was able to perceive inside the Sun God Tree, which was vastly different from when this treasure had been forged.
Qin Sang could hardly find any traces of his former self when he was refining weapons. After years of being tempered by the Southern Ming's fiery furnace, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had been completely transformed.
Apart from the green copper ingots, which seemed unchanged, the mysterious white bronze, the Nine Lives Xuan Gui's shell, and other vassal spirit objects were all melted together into a single entity, indistinguishable from each other.
The power of the Southern Ming's flame was constantly moving within the Sun God Tree. In the future, Zhu Que's strength would recover, and she would no longer need the Sun God Tree to suppress the real fire. Even if this thing did not become a divine treasure, it would definitely be a rare treasure.

"Qin Sang, I'm here."
The crisp voice of a child rang through Qin Sang's senses.
It was weak, but as a Suzaku it had the pride of its kind. It didn't feel like it was under someone else's roof at all. It thought that forming an alliance with Qin Sang meant being equals, so it wouldn't acknowledge Qin Sang as the leader and called him by his name directly.

Qin Sang didn't care about these things, he only cared if they were useful to himself.
At this moment, he vaguely sensed that within the Southern Ming's flames, there was a feather. On the feather, the outline of a firebird spirit seemed to appear, but it was unclear. It was precisely the young Vermillion Bird spirit struggling to materialize.
Qin Sang took a closer look, then instructed Zhuque to do things his way. Zhuque obeyed him meticulously.
>
The cabin was lit by flickering flames.
Finally, Qin Sang nodded and pressed his other hand, along with the Heavenly Phoenix True Feather, against the Sun God Tree. He slowly drove the Heavenly Phoenix True Feather into the space beneath the green bronze piece, where the Suzaku True Feather was located.
The flames of Southern Ming had calmed somewhat.
Tianfeng Zhenyu did not sink into the flames, but clung tightly to the green copper piece. A slight ripple seemed to spread as Suzaku extended its power.
Seeing that the sun god tree was fine, Qin Sang's heart felt a little relieved.
Fa Zhou stopped near the ancestral land of the Jiao Long for a whole month.

Over the past month, all the eligible departments of the demon race received a message from the Dragon King, summoning them for a meeting to discuss matters.
All the demon kings were intimidated by Qin Sang's power and dared not approach the Dragon King's ancestral land. They were arranged in a water palace by the Dragon King.
>
The incarnation sat cross-legged at the bow of the ship, meditating in stillness. The true body did not leave the cabin and urged no haste.
Several days passed.
The two demon kings who commanded the King of Jialong's guards suddenly looked at each other, as if they had received an order. They roared, their voices rolling like thunder, and conveyed it to the Fa boat.
“Your Majesty, my king has something to discuss with you.”
The avatar opened its eyes and said, "Go on."
When the two Demon Kings saw that Qin Sang's true form did not emerge from the cabin, they dared not speak out. They cast a spell to reassemble the water mirror and revealed the Dragon King, standing beside him was the Phoenix King.

The Dragon King, already knowing the identities of those present, wasted no time and said in a deep voice: "Are you willing to take an oath first, True One"
>
Embodiment of a smile, “It seems that all of you fellow cultivators have made a decision. Vowing is nothing difficult; let's set up a cause and effect altar.”
The Dharma altar has already been set up!
>
The Dragon King silently gave an order.
Not long after, the Fa-zhou was surrounded by waves as countless dragons carrying a golden platform one hundred zhang in length and width surged forth from the water.
The avatar sized up the situation, nodded slightly, and awoke its true form.
Qin Sang's true self emerged from meditation, gracefully ascending the dharma platform. He saw the prepared vows laid out in neat rows and lines, meticulously planned. He smiled faintly, unfazed. Under the watchful eyes of all, he made a vow bound by cause and effect.
The Dragon King and the Phoenix King watched across the water mirror until Qin Sang made his oath, then their expressions eased.

As befits the ruler of the overlords, Jiao Long Wang immediately transformed into his true form and left the ancestral land, boarding a magical ship.
Looking at this king, who surpassed even the former Dragon King Jiao Long in bearing, Qin Sang couldn't help but praise, "Friend Daoist has great courage."
The Dragon King clasped his fists in a salute and said in a loud voice, “Since the True Monarch cannot ascend, we can't stay hidden in our ancestral home forever. I don't think the True Monarch would deceive me, a small king, and break the oath of cause and effect. From now on, my clan will do everything in our power to find the Ascension Platform. If we make any other discoveries, we will definitely not hide them from the True Monarch.”
Qin Sang nodded happily, "It's gratifying that you all can resolve the disputes and work together to find a way out for the cultivators of this world. Next, I will go to Wuzhenshan. The Wu Clan will also, like the Human Clan, abide by the rules."
The two then discussed the details.

Although only the Dragon King appeared this time, other demon kings were watching from afar. Qin Sang was essentially negotiating with the entire demon sea demon clan.

Qin Sang didn't make any excessive demands, and things went very smoothly afterward.

Finally, Qin Sang suddenly smiled, “The Jiao Long clan has powerful physiques, far surpassing any other race. There are rumors that your tribe's ancestral land has a secret place where the body can be tempered with miraculous effects. Is this true or false”
The Dragon King's face immediately changed color, his eyes gloomy. "What do you mean by that, True Monarch"
“Rest assured, fellow cultivator. Since I have made a vow, I will certainly not go back on my word. You must also be able to sense the qi and blood within my body, knowing that I also cultivate the path of physical refinement. If this secret place is of use to me, I am willing to make a deal with you, and I will definitely not disappoint you,” Qin Sang said confidently, standing with his hands behind his back.

The Dragon King couldn't help but move. Qin Sang was a cultivator of the Divine Transformation stage, and he came from another realm. He certainly wouldn't lack treasures in his hands.
Although the various races of Yao Hai have ancestral land inheritance and special bloodlines, they are relatively poor and mostly rely on themselves.
Although the demon clan can cultivate their own bloodlines, they cannot completely rely on themselves. Transmitted to this day, their bloodlines have become very diluted.
Qin Sang saw his expression and knew there was a play. He took out a dozen jade boxes, each containing sacred objects produced by the major holy places of the Zhongzhou demon race.
Although he didn't use his power to intimidate them, those demon clans later learned that he was the Nascent Soul behind the Dragon Whale clan and possibly the only Nascent Soul in this world. They dared not divide everything among themselves, so they voluntarily offered tribute. Unfortunately, most of it was only useful to the demon clans.

“These treasures, just a portion should be enough. As for the rest, as long as fellow Daoist can bring out something useful to this poor Daoist, an exchange is possible. If Fellow Daoist is interested, please prepare quickly.”
One after another, the Jade Box lids were opened. Beams of treasure light shot up into the sky, dazzling everyone's eyes.
The transformation of the demon tribe in Zhongzhou into divine beings was continuous, and the treasures of the holy land were not something to be taken lightly. Even with the King Jiao Long's temperament, he was firmly attracted by them, and his breath became a little heavy.
"Our clan does have a secret place called the Dragon Transformation Pool. It can wash away impurities, invigorate blood and energy, and has miraculous effects. But no outsiders have ever gone in before. How much gain there will be depends on the true master's abilities," he thought to himself. Qin Sang might be a Nascent Soul cultivator, but his physical body realm is not very high, and he is a human. He definitely won't be able to last long and won't be able to consume much of the spiritual liquid in the pool."
After much bargaining, Qin Sang swore an oath. The Dragon King, despite opposition from others, invited Qin Sang into the Water Palace.
The ancestral land of the Jiao clan, although underwater, was remarkably dry. Inside, there were dazzling jewels and auspicious qi everywhere, with exotic treasures scattered about. Even the legendary Dragon Palace was nothing like this.
>
Unlike when he was in the Phoenix Clan, Qin Sang behaved himself and followed the Dragon King as they passed through several palaces before arriving at a cluster of coral.
The Dragon King cast a spell and took out a golden decree. With a flick forward, the coral thicket parted to create a path.
"Please, Great Master!"

Qin Sang followed closely behind, and after a short while, he came across a rectangular stone pond. The pond wasn't large, capable of holding only the body of a young dragon, with half of it filled with water. Light mist drifted on the surface, shifting and swirling in mystical patterns.
This is the Dragon-Raising Pool.
One finger of the Dragon King pointed at the stone pool, tapping lightly on several empty spots on its walls. The spiritual mist surged even more intensely, faintly revealing a true dragon within it, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Although knowing it was fake, Qin Sang genuinely felt a powerful and intimidating presence, secretly marveled.
He took a few glances to make sure there was nothing amiss, suppressed his true essence, leaped into the air, and landed in the Huolong Pool in a meditative posture. The spiritual liquid reached about his waist.
Lingyi permeated, Qin Sang first felt the refreshing coolness that was deeply pleasing, seeping from the skin into the flesh and blood, penetrating the meridians, washing even the bone marrow.
Before he could truly savor it, Qin Sang's qi and blood within him suddenly exploded with a boom. The coolness instantly turned into excruciating pain, once again the familiar agony of having his marrow washed and bones shattered.
