Chapter 1434: Spirit Manifestation

Rain-Beaten Bluestone.A Buddhist body cultivation martial skill.It was likely obtained from the Pure Ocean Sect.Qin Sang recalled the information Tan Hao had previously gathered: the Pure Ocean Sect was struck by an inferno, and before its destruction, some treasures were washed out.It was normal for someone who obtained a Nascent Soul-level martial skill, couldn't use it, and couldn't find a suitable buyer, to bring it to the Ten Thousand Devils Assembly for trade.Body cultivators are extremely rare in this era!This isn't merely due to the scarcity and loss of body cultivation techniques; the difficulty of cultivating as a body cultivator in the current age far exceeds that of a magic cultivator. Even Golden Core stage body cultivators are exceptionally rare.Unless one can, like Qin Sang, directly draw upon inexhaustible stellar energy for body tempering without fear of stellar malevolence erosion.In the Small Cold Domain, where rare spiritual medicines occasionally appear, and even across the entire North Star Realm, Qin Sang has interacted with most Nascent Soul cultivators but has never encountered a single pure body cultivator!Of course, there are still those who practice body cultivation concurrently.Their purpose is mainly twofold.Firstly, all three aspects—essence, qi, and spirit—contribute to breaking through bottlenecks. Nascent Soul cultivators likely share similar insights and might try this path.Secondly, it's to strengthen their physical bodies in case of encountering certain extreme situations.However, they eventually discover that doing so consumes too much energy with little tangible effect, making it not worth the effort. Moreover, ordinary body cultivation techniques cannot meet their requirements.Consequently, their body cultivation levels usually don't reach great heights.Martial skills.Qin Sang preferred to call them Martial Dao Divine Abilities. Top-tier Martial Dao Divine Abilities are even rarer than body cultivation techniques.He had cultivated the *Heavenly Demon Transformation* to its fourth stage, making his physical body no less powerful than a transformed great demon. However, the divine abilities from the technique itself were: the Heavenly Demon Transformation, which strengthened the body and manifested phoenix wings; and the Heavenly Demon Avatar, whose true function remained unclear.If he didn't use magical treasures and Daoist spells, relying solely on his body cultivation abilities, he would not be a match for a demon king of the same rank.The reason was that Qin Sang lacked Martial Dao Divine Abilities; he possessed a powerful physique but couldn't unleash its true potential.Demon kings can refine their own bloodline power and master bloodline divine abilities, which human cultivators cannot learn. He had once consulted Jing Yu and confirmed this.This disparity becomes more pronounced as the cultivation realm increases.Qin Sang had attempted to acquire them in the North Star Realm but only obtained a few mediocre Martial Dao Divine Abilities, which were of little use.Of course, with Qin Sang's current cultivation, he could study these Martial Dao Divine Abilities and attempt to create his own. However, his foundation in body cultivation was shallow, having relied on quick success through a demon race technique. He didn't know how much time and effort it would take to succeed, and he had too many other things to do.Qin Sang wasn't lacking in combat methods and hadn't paid much attention to this before.For him, the greatest use of the *Heavenly Demon Transformation* was to grant him the Thunder Escape technique and make his physical body less fragile, allowing him to cope with dangerous situations.The utility of a strong physical body became apparent when crossing the storm belt; sometimes he could directly withstand the storms. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been merely a matter of true essence depletion and the accumulation of medicinal impurities.He had departed immediately after reaching the mid-Nascent Soul stage, which was indeed a bit strenuous.“A Buddhist Martial Dao Divine Ability.”Qin Sang's thoughts flickered.Since the person was selling it without special instructions, it likely didn't require cooperation with Buddhist cultivation techniques and could be performed by any body cultivator.He wondered if there were any Nascent Soul body cultivators in the North Sea. The competition pressure shouldn't be too high, unless a demon king participated, but demon kings prioritized treasures that enhance bloodline power.For a top-tier Martial Dao Divine Ability like this, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; miss it, and it's gone forever.Qin Sang's heart was stirred.He looked around but couldn't find the trading conditions for the *Seven Master Buddha Seal*, so he asked True Man Yin Quan for clarification.True Man Yin Quan replied, “It means we should bring all our wealth when attending the Ten Thousand Devils Assembly! As long as you have enough treasures, you don't need to worry about not getting a chance to trade. The trade fair on the last day starts in the early morning and has no time limit. This gives attendees ample time to weigh gains and losses and make exchanges. A single transaction might require several or even dozens of hand-offs. Of course, each exchange must go through the Ten Thousand Devils Assembly, for which they take a commission.”By the end of a single trade fair, the organizers would earn a fortune.With such order, the name 'Ten Thousand Devils Assembly' felt somewhat incongruous. One might even think it was backed by a righteous sect.The seniors who founded the Ten Thousand Devils Assembly were truly far-sighted.Qin Sang shifted his gaze to the other treasures on the list. He hadn't yet decided whether to attend the Ten Thousand Devils Assembly, planning to make a decision after returning to refine the Hidden Fragrance Pill.Three Star Feathers from a Star-Controlling Bird.Skyfall Iron.The Coldbone Demonic Hand, a sacred artifact of the ancient demonic sect, the Coldbone Path.One by one, these supreme treasures, rarely seen in this world, were dazzling.The Ten Thousand Devils Assembly truly lived up to its reputation as the greatest event in the Boundless Sea.Qin Sang decided to return immediately to refine the Hidden Fragrance Pill and asked where he should go if he wished to visit True Man Yin Quan before the Ten Thousand Devils Assembly.True Man Yin Quan gave him a Pill Cauldron Token. “Fellow Daoist, go to Pearl Island, activate this token, and someone will come to meet you.”Qin Sang recalled the location of Pearl Island, cupped his hands, bade farewell, and departed.Flying out of Blue Star Island, Qin Sang rushed back to his cave abode without delay. He opened the barrier and entered, seeing Tan Hao in the midst of paying respects to Tan Jie. When they left the Pure Ocean Sect, Tan Hao had brought Tan Jie's coffin out to prevent his brother's remains from being lost.After instructing Tan Hao to inquire about the major matters of Huang Longshi's palace and the Ten Thousand Devils Assembly, Qin Sang entered his cave abode, sealed the barrier, and told Tan Hao not to disturb him under any circumstances.He sat cross-legged and entered meditation.Black flames drifted from Qin Sang's glabella, and the Fire Lotus Seed materialized.Gradually, the fluctuations on the Fire Lotus Seed became extraordinarily steady, quietly floating before Qin Sang's chest.He didn't know how much time had passed.Qin Sang let out a long breath, adjusted his state to optimal, and drew the Fire Lotus Seed back into his body.*Snap!*The jade bottle placed beside him opened on its own, and the Hidden Fragrance Pill flew before Qin Sang, its scent permeating the air.Qin Sang gazed at it for a moment, then opened his mouth and swallowed it!As the spiritual pill entered his stomach, the medicine immediately transformed into a cool stream of medicinal power, integrating into his body. Qin Sang felt his spiritual platform become exceptionally clear, with a sensation of soaring like an immortal.Four months later.*Creak!*The door to the quiet chamber was pushed open, and Qin Sang stepped out.He surveyed the room. In his eyes, an unprecedented brilliance seemed to flicker, then immediately recede.Finding Tan Hao absent, Qin Sang pondered for a moment, then directly flew out of his cave abode. Recalling the location of an uninhabited sea area, he tore through the air and headed there.Not long after.Above the empty sea, Qin Sang's figure silently emerged.His actions were somewhat peculiar; his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was comprehending something. Then, the corners of his mouth curved slightly. “My sensing range has nearly doubled. Is this the benefit of a materialized spiritual sense?”Before his words finished, Qin Sang's mind stirred slightly, and he suddenly released his spiritual sense. A powerful aura emanated from his body.*Boom!*The winds and clouds above the sea changed color. Nearly tangible gang wind transformed into visible streams of air.Confirming no one was around, Qin Sang no longer held back. He completely unleashed his spiritual sense, allowing it to sweep across the space, triggering various phenomena.*Rumbling...*Qin Sang calmly observed the celestial phenomena, using them to analyze the benefits and changes brought about by the materialization of his spiritual sense.
