ached the halfway point, about to soar above a mountain valley.Suddenly, several sinister black mists erupted from the valley. The source of the mists was a series of bronze mirrors arranged like a la...“The Poison King The head of the Wan Du Mountain Sect The ritual is about to begin, and the Poison King isn't going to Jin Yu Prefecture. Instead, he's running around with fellow cultivators in Nan Jiang. Could your friend have stolen something precious from him”

Su Zijian became more and more curious about this group of people, each one more mysterious than the last.

One can establish their own lineage within the Tiān Hào Building, and the other has a grudge against Wàn Dú Mountain. Ironically, these individuals were both unknown before this event.

He finally understood why the Buddha guarded the No-Form Immortal Sect so fiercely.

The Wu Xiang Xian Men sect was destroyed for so long, it fell to such a state. Its lineage scattered, yet it still managed to cultivate numerous experts. Moreover, those present today are not all of them.

When one calls out with all their might, they can rise again from the east and reclaim their position as a top power!

All they need is an opportunity.

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

In this day and age, the gods have disappeared without a trace. The gathering of all factions in Jinyu Prefecture is due to their supposed presence, causing them to act recklessly. However, such circumstances are not opportunities.

>

The only 'opportunity' is that a Nascent Soul cultivator appeared in the Wuxiang Xianmen!

Otherwise, even with many masters, they couldn't withstand the siege of the Buddhist Dharma.

Thinking about this, Su Zinan's smile became even brighter.

“Mount Wan Du is nothing but poison and insects, what treasure could there be” The man with the strange face said disdainfully, “The old man merely killed a few clueless fellows at random.”

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

This remark drew stares from the crowd.

This person must have killed at least elders, and probably more than one. That's why the Poison King relentlessly pursues them.

Unfazed by the conversation, Zhu Wudao prepared to open the Immortal Gate of Formlessness.

The flimsy paper was inscribed with dense runes, seemingly drawn with the blood of some unknown creature, emanating a sinister crimson glow.

In the center of each talisman paper, there is a character for "forbidden".

Then, Zhu Wu Dao took out another jade seal.

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

The jade seal was opaque, its interior cloudy, and its surface yellowed. It lacked any luster and appeared to be an ancient artifact, but there was no sign of treasure.

Below the jade seal, there is also a character 'forbidden', which is similar in shape to the one on the talisman.

Zhu Wu Dao raised his hand gently, and the jade seal slowly rose into the air.

Suddenly, Bao Guang radiated from Tenglong Cliff.

The Bao Guang Center was just like a jade seal, like a cold moon, its cool light illuminated every corner of the cliff face, dispelling the darkness. The constant gusts of wind that touched the cold light seemed to hesitate for a moment, their momentum significantly reduced.

The cold light even shot out of Tenglong Cliff, and the surviving disciples of Taoyue Sect could see the change happening here from the main peak.

"What is that"

“Tenglong Cliff! Someone has broken into the Sect Leader’s dojo!”

As soon as the shouts arose, a sweep of the Grand Elder's gaze silenced them all. They focused their attention on activating the grand formation to defend against the enemy.

The Grand Elder, whose Taoist name was Hua Shenzi, stared at Tenglong Cliff. Like Yue Lingtian who had just learned about this, he was extremely surprised.

"At Tenglong Cliff"

The border of Nanzhou and Manzhou.

Dangerous mountains and deep valleys can be seen everywhere.

There are just two great rivers here, flowing between the valleys at an angle, finally converging ahead.

It is worth mentioning that the two rivers are one indigo and the other pink, with countless beautiful flower petals floating on the surface.

People born in the Southern Barbarian regions, upon seeing the color of these two rivers, would know that the water was poisonous and would never approach within a foot.

As a matter of fact, the two rivers flowed through two toxic swamps respectively. The venom seeped into the water, leaving no life on both banks. All vegetation withered and died.

The most peculiar thing was that when the two poisonous rivers converged, the water color, which was initially distinct, finally returned to transparent after mixing.

The toxins in the two rivers seem to have neutralized each other, returning to normal and safe for drinking. The riverside creatures have also become more abundant.

> The wonders of the Nanman Two States are not unique. There are too many wonders here.

Along the river, villages are scattered everywhere, with ordinary people residing in them.

Though there is no shortage of water sources, the living environment remains harsh and difficult.

Cultivators are high above the common folk, rarely able to see the suffering of mortals. But if someone were to lower their head and take a glance, they would find that many villages are worshipping a strange statue.

The statue's crown was adorned with five jade pieces of different colors, indeed a sculpture of the Gu God.

Over the years, the Gu Shen Sect's influence has quietly reached every corner of Nanjiang.

The villagers did not engage in productive labor. It was as if they had received some sort of order. Since a while ago, almost every night, they would gather together and consume the elixir given by the Gu God Cult. They sought bliss within the hallucination.

And this is precisely what the Gu Shen Jiao doctrine advocates: only believers can enter the ethereal paradise of emptiness. Under this belief, their time spent awake is decreasing.

Everyone looked insane, radiating madness.

Above the indigo-colored poison river, two figures suddenly flashed.

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

One of them wore a robe of dazzling colors and intricate patterns. The decorations on the clothes were also incredibly complex, yet not at all messy, possessing a strange kind of beauty.

This person's countenance is extremely beautiful, difficult to distinguish between male and female. Their brows and eyes possess both coldness and gentleness.

It was none other than the notorious Poison King, the Master of Mount Wan Du!

Another person walked on the river surface with strides as swift as flying, stepping on the water as if it were solid ground, not generating a single ripple. They were no slower than the Poison King.

This man was seven feet tall, with a majestic appearance. He had a scar on his head and was actually a monk.

Here's the text translated to English, keeping only the content within the tags:

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

The monk and the Poison King just happen to be at two extremes.

He wore only a patched robe, with no extra adornments. Not even a rosary could be seen. The patched robe was also somewhat old and faded.

On his journey, the monk moved without stopping, his arms swaying naturally, not feeling any strain at all. He seemed to be doing it casually.

Here is the translation of ">"

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

His hands were as large as a fan, his fingers with rough skin and prominent knuckles, clearly the hands of someone who did hard labor.

Outsiders see a monk and tend to think of him as an ascetic.

"Master, you've been with me for so long. Look at the environment in Nanjiang. Is it not worse than that of Xitu" The Poison King's voice had a feminine and insidious quality to it.

The monk's Dharma name is Huaiyin.

Huiyin recited the Buddha's name, "Amitabha! The southern border region is abundant with spiritual energy, this alone surpasses the Western Paradise!"

"The Poison King let out a soft chuckle and said, 'Nanzhang excels the Central Plains in terms of cultivation resources, and it surpasses even Xitu. It's widely said that Zhongzhou is where all the wonders of the world converge. It seems this isn't an empty boast. If I were in their place, I may not have achieved my current state. When I have some free time, I'll ask Chan Yuan to take me to Xitu for a journey and see the world beyond our borders.'"

Seeing his troubled expression, the Poison King spoke again. "Master, please calm yourself. The places we've been to are nothing compared to the Ten Thousand Isles of the Southern Barbarian lands. This time, because of my affairs, I led you astray and caused you to miss the grand gathering. Even if it meant using all our resources, I will find that artifact for you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Daoist friend," Huaiyin said gratefully.

"The Poison King sighed, "As a master of such high-level cultivation, you could already suppress my poison techniques. Once you refine that artifact, your divine abilities will reach their peak, and you'll gain even more resistance to poison. This king can only yield."

“Fellow Daoist, your mastery of poison is renowned throughout the world. This humble monk is but a small figure, unworthy of comparison. Although what this monk requires grows in a poisonous environment, it remains pure and unstained by toxins,” Huiyin explained.

"Oh It seems I jumped to conclusions."

The Poison King was caught off guard and stammered, about to speak further when suddenly a wave of inspiration washed over him. His escaping technique surged wildly, causing him to appear at the end of the river in an instant.

Here is your translated text:

The other party stood still, and with hidden steps, he approached silently, without wind or sound, only the fluttering of his garment.

The Poison King inwardly stiffened, remaining silent as he flew to the center of the river. With his right hand, he extended his index and middle fingers downward, plunging them into the river surface.

Then, the colors of the two poisonous rivers faded at a visible speed until they disappeared. The Poison King's white fingers turned indigo and pink respectively, but returned to normal immediately.

At the same time, the river flowed backward, splitting from the middle and flowing towards both sides, revealing the riverbed.

The Poison King and Huai Yin fell to the river bottom.

Look around.

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

Huaiyin whispered, "This person hasn't left the Southern State! This poor monk suspected it before. This person left too many flaws. It seems they were chased by a Daoist friend too closely, and didn't have time to make detailed arrangements, revealing their traces. Since they wanted to lead us out to the Southern State, it means they must still be there!"

“Master, you make a good point! I wonder what in Nan Prefecture could be worth that bandit’s affections. Perhaps if we investigate, Elder Ming and the others might have found something.”

The Poison King nodded lightly, not surprisingly, he seemed to have some suspicions.

For them, sometimes a mere suspicion is enough to make a judgment, without the need to find sufficient evidence.

The two of them rubbed along the border of Manzhou, and then returned to Nanzhou.

Ten Long Cliff.

With a rustle, the talismans fluttered open one by one.

Zhu Wudao urged the jade seal and talismans, explaining: "If you collect all five phases, you can directly lock onto the location of the Wu Xiang Immortal Gate. Although I have forged two, they differ greatly from the originals, and some friends don't understand the techniques of the Wu Xiang Immortal Gate, so other means are still needed."

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

He spoke as he pointed, sparks of energy crackling around his fingers. Talismans burst into flames at his fingertips, transforming into balls of light that drifted towards every corner of Tenglong Cliff, appearing everywhere like stars surrounding the silver moon.

The light in Tenglong Cliff grew brighter and brighter, until it reached a blinding degree.

In the blinding light, it was impossible to see where the glyphs' flames had manifested, but they hadn't vanished. They were connected to the jade seal.

Rays converged into threads as tangible as silk, emanating from the Jade Seal. They branched out, connecting each orb of flame and weaving a complex web of light throughout Tenglong Cliff, shrouding every corner.

They were within the luminous web, feeling a strange power flowing between the threads. Flames and jade seals were one.

All the heavenly Daoists kept their jade seals stationary. With a low bellow, Zhu WuDao addressed them: "Fellows, raise the Five Appearances Decree!"

At his command.

Everyone did not hesitate, immediately putting aside their thoughts and acting according to the order.

Five Five Phases Orders, according to the five element directions, should have the person with the Earth Phase Order holding it and standing behind their sword in the center as the eye of the formation. The others should stand around him, each in their proper position.

Because two of the Five Phases talismans were counterfeit, causing an imbalance in the formation's power, several cultivators adjusted it according to the principles of the five elements' mutual generation and control, with him at its center.

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

He personally forged two imitation tokens, no one knew the Five Phase Order better than him.

After the five agreed on their positions, they simultaneously raised their tokens.

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

Five tokens floated slowly above their heads, five-colored rays flickering. Two counterfeit tokens seemed dim in comparison, reflecting on the faces of the onlookers, each with a different expression.

Su Zi Nan was smiling.

The white-robed man's expression was unreadable.

A swordsman observed the movements of those who lacked virtue.

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

Even the grotesque and the wicked look forward to it with expectation.

The Five-Person Seal Transform rapidly shifted, a dizzying flurry of movements. Afterwards, the surfaces of the five tokens were covered with glowing threads, with the most on the counterfeit token.

With the Jade Seal's aid, a certain balance was finally achieved, tending towards stability and suspension.

Among all, Zhudao is the busiest. He's surrounded by a swirling aura of light.

These were treasures he had forged from the Five Elemental Treasures, all of them scattered out at once to be used in conjunction with controlling the Five Phases Decree.

All sorts of movements, devoid of any path or intention, were performed with grace. Treasures flew about, assembling themselves into a magical altar on their own.

The dharma platform is complete.

>

Zhu Wu Dao shouted, "Down!"

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

Everyone scattered suddenly, their movements synchronized. With a simultaneous downward pull, the Five Buddhas' Banners fell and plunged into the dharma platform!

The next moment, the five people surrounded the dharma altar, sat cross-legged, and raised their hands to press against the edge of the dharma altar.

The moment ten palms touched the dharma platform, the Five Appearances Bell shuddered violently. Then, an irresistible force surged from the platform, carrying everyone along and flinging them near a cave on the cliff face.

"Isn't this Yue Lingtian's cave dwelling..."

As soon as Su Zi Nan had this thought, his pupils shrank suddenly.

A point of white light suddenly appeared in the air above the Dharma platform.

'Boom!'

This is not a true sound, but a terrifying tremor from an unknown space, shaking them to their core.

In an instant.

Within the Taiyue Gate, a sudden silence fell, and countless eyes turned to look!

Zilei Zhenren and others, who had already received the news, were lurking outside Wuxiang Xianmen not far away.

The distance is so close.

Even through the canopy, they could dimly sense something was amiss.

When the disciples were slaughtered, Yue Lingtian had always been expressionless and silent. Now, however, he couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Let me go in and have a look first."

>

The foundation of Tai Yue Men's mountain-protecting grand formation is still intact. He has a way to infiltrate it.

"Don't startle the snake in the grass!"

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

Zilei Zhenren did not stop him, watching Yue Lingtian enter Taiyue Gate. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly sent a voice transmission to Suxia Zhenren: "Junior Sister, return to the mountain gate immediately."

Su Xia Zhen was taken aback.

“Here, with me, Elder Yue, and my junior brother, we are enough. Although the Wu Xiang Immortal Sect once controlled the Immortal Palace, these remnants don't understand that the interior of the Immortal Palace changes frequently and is no longer as it was before. The transmission formation of the Wu Xiang Immortal Sect connects to the Tian Tong Hall, while the Sword Tomb is located in the Tian Xiang Hall. As long as we can enter the Immortal Palace, Elder Brother has a 100% chance of reaching the Sword Tomb first,” Purple Thunder Real Person explained.

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

“The more the merrier...”

Suxia Zhenren's words were cut off by Zilei Zhenren before she could finish, "The true disciples have all been recalled to the Guan. If we fail to return, we will leave the Dao Guan and go into seclusion. Junior Sister, you must bear the responsibility of continuing the lineage!"

Hearing Zi Lei Zhenjun's words as if he were settling his final affairs, Su Xia Zhenjun couldn't believe it: "Has the situation deteriorated to this extent"

"People's hearts are unfathomable, one must be cautious."

Purple Thunder True Person spoke in a low voice, "My elder brother is only making the worst-case scenario plans! This matter can be big or small. If Uncle Master's disappearance has nothing to do with Hui Guang Holy One, or if my elder brother achieves Nascent Soul, there is room for reconciliation. Otherwise, we must make the worst-case plans."

Su Xia Zhen remained silent.

She already knows the inside story.

The Holy Light and Danwu True Monarch, though they had friction before, did not hold a deep grudge to the death.

But life is impermanent.

Various signs made them distrust the Gansu Zen Temple.

To enter the fairy palace normally, both sects must join forces. It's impossible for just the Baxingguan sect to do it alone.

Purple Lightning Immortal followed the situation, drawing out the Unphase Immortal Sect. This would allow them to deceive heaven and cross the sea.
