Chapter 1680: Transformation God Relic

Martial Arts & Immortal Cultivation

Someone!

Stepping into the stone house, Qin Sang's eyes immediately landed on a figure facing the stone door. His heart gave a slight jolt, and he became highly vigilant.

"No signs of life..."

Qin Sang's expression softened. He mused that he had overthought things.

The Witch Clan mark clearly indicated that this person was the Divine Transformation expert the Ghost Mother sought. How could a Divine Transformation cultivator possibly live for such a long time?

However, once ancient devils were involved, nothing could be judged by conventional wisdom.

His true body, through his avatar, could sense the external situation. The demonic body exuded monstrous demonic energy, making it impossible for it to be an immortal cultivator. It was likely an ancient devil sealed in Mount Dishou by the Boundless Immortal Sect, its strength far surpassing that of the Jade Bone Demon.

He was indeed destined to encounter ancient devils!

He still remembered Senior Azure Bamboo falling at the hands of an ancient devil. Even now, the thought filled Qin Sang with regret.

One could never be too careful.

Maintaining his protective spirit fire barrier, Qin Sang scrutinized the figure closely.

The corpse was remarkably well-preserved.

The person sat cross-legged, clearly not tall, their back even slightly bent. With gaunt cheeks and closed eyes, they appeared serene, like an old scholar in their fifties.

The figure wore a colorful long robe, adorned with vibrant, peculiar patterns and distorted designs. To a human cultivator, it might have seemed quite bizarre.

Qin Sang was unperturbed by the sight.

In the Canglang Sea, Witch Clan cultivators, male or female, typically dressed similarly. Some even covered their entire bodies with paint or tattoos.

Qin Sang sensed none of the powerful aura of a Divine Transformation cultivator from this person. Had he encountered them outside, he would likely have mistaken them for a mortal and overlooked them.

Perhaps they had reached the realm of returning to simplicity.

Or it could be due to the mortal remains.

Next, Qin Sang extended his spiritual sense, scanning the entire body. He confirmed there was nothing unusual; it was undeniably a corpse.

His expression turned serious. He bowed respectfully towards the corpse, then surveyed the area around it. He noticed a spiritual array beneath the corpse, clearly a secret formation of the Witch Clan.

Beyond that, no markings or writings were left behind.

This Witch Clan Divine Transformation expert had quietly perished here.

Finally, Qin Sang's attention turned to the corpse's waist, where a fist-sized, exquisitely carved wooden gourd hung. It was remarkably lifelike.

Qin Sang's expression shifted. He activated his Golden Sinking Sword, used it to lift the wooden gourd, brought it before him, supporting it with the sword blade, and then extended a wisp of spiritual sense to examine it.

Immediately, Qin Sang's face lit up with joy. As expected, it wasn't a magic treasure but a magical artifact similar to a spatial storage bag.

A Divine Transformation relic!

This was precisely what the Ghost Mother had used to tempt him into taking Dumb Girl away.

He hadn't expected to actually acquire it.

Regardless of his current situation, such a gain was always cause for joy, bringing Qin Sang a measure of comfort.

However, obtaining the Divine Transformation relic didn't seem easy. Qin Sang detected a restriction left by the original owner inside the wooden gourd; a single careless move could backfire.

Gazing at the wooden gourd, Qin Sang fell into contemplation. Finally, he looked up, realizing that since he couldn't leave for now, he might as well concentrate on analyzing the gourd's restriction.

The Heavenly Eye Butterfly flew out of his dantian and perched on Qin Sang's shoulder. Its Heavenly Eye focused on the wooden gourd, shimmering with vibrant colors.

"It's a spiritual sense restriction..."

Not long after, Qin Sang murmured, his expression a bit more relaxed than before.

A spiritual sense restriction meant the Witch Clan Divine Transformation expert had separated and refined a wisp of spiritual sense, using it as the foundation for the restriction. A very long time had passed since the Witch Clan Divine Transformation expert's demise, and the spiritual sense power within the restriction had greatly diminished over the years. For Qin Sang at this moment, it should be one of the easiest types to break.

With the Heavenly Eye Butterfly's assistance, Qin Sang quickly deciphered a trace of the restriction's structure. Progress accelerated, and soon, confident in his plan, he transformed his spiritual sense into a needle and pricked the wooden gourd.

Whoosh!

A green light illuminated Qin Sang's face, bathing him and the entire cave dwelling in an azure hue.

Once the green light faded, the wooden gourd transformed dramatically. Its material became jadeite, crystal clear and translucent.

Qin Sang eagerly extended his spiritual sense into the wooden gourd. Immediately, a look of surprise crossed his face as a green light shot out from the gourd's mouth, and something, guided by his spiritual sense, flew out.

A crescent-shaped stone platform!

The stone platform's surface was rough and marred, covered in countless intersecting marks, utterly chaotic; it was impossible to discern any pattern.

It looked like an ordinary stone, but its placement within the wooden gourd's space was very particular. The Witch Clan Divine Transformation expert seemed to have highly valued this item.

From the stone platform, Qin Sang sensed a familiar fluctuation.

Not only that, but the stone platform's shape was also very familiar.

Qin Sang flipped his hand, and another stone platform appeared in his right palm.

Qin Sang had previously called it the Star Platform. He had seized it from a Witch Clan cultivator in the Landou Sect. Breaking through the *Heavenly Demon Refining Form* relied entirely on it to draw stellar essence for his body.

The two stone platforms were incredibly similar, with only minor differences in their surface patterns; their overall shapes were almost identical!

Qin Sang looked from side to side.

The reason it felt familiar was that the new stone platform had almost the same fluctuations as his old Star Platform; it was also a Star Platform!

His old Star Platform had absorbed ample stellar essence at Zhifian Peak and undergone a transformation. Although it had returned to its rustic form, it now possessed an indescribable spiritual charm.

The newly acquired Star Platform also possessed this spiritual charm, meaning the Witch Clan Divine Transformation expert had already replenished it with sufficient stellar essence.

Qin Sang brought his hands together.

From this, it was clear that the two Star Platforms could be perfectly joined together, seamlessly forming a complete circular Star Platform.

Evidently, they were once a single entity, but for some unknown reason, they had split into two halves and were lost to the outside world.

Qin Sang suddenly realized. No wonder the Star Platform hadn't reacted no matter how he tried to use it in the years since its transformation at Zhifian Peak—the treasure was incomplete!

One half he had brought back to Beichen Realm, and the other half the Witch Clan Divine Transformation expert had brought to Central State.

By sheer coincidence, he had collected them both.

Qin Sang separated his hands. He didn't intend to join the two Star Platforms here; he hadn't forgotten that the Star Platforms could directly draw stellar essence from the cosmos.

A complete Star Platform would undoubtedly create an even grander phenomenon.

If he couldn't suppress it and thus revealed his location, it would be a great injustice.

Recalling the past, he had snatched the first Star Platform from the Black Snake Mountain, whose ancestor had sent his true disciple to infiltrate the Landou Sect, meticulously plotting to steal this treasure.

Now, the Witch Clan Divine Transformation expert also cherished it greatly, keeping it by their side.

It was clear that the Star Platform must be an extraordinary treasure of the Witch Clan.

Qin Sang wasn't overly excited by collecting the complete Star Platform.

The more precious a treasure, the more restrictions it had, like spirit treasures. Moreover, there was a vast difference between the bloodlines of the two races. It was hard to say how much benefit Witch Clan treasures could bring him. If it could help him rapidly advance the *Heavenly Demon Refining Form*, Qin Sang would be content.

Dismissing distracting thoughts, Qin Sang stored both Star Platforms in his Thousand Jun Ring before delving back into the wooden gourd to sort through its other treasures.

It proved that his earlier judgment was correct.

Among the Witch Clan Divine Transformation expert's relics were many precious items, but any that had been artificially refined bore strong Witch Clan characteristics.

The Witch Clan's inheritance in the Canglang Sea was incomplete, with many areas drawing from human techniques. This was why Qin Sang could barely discern the functions of these treasures. He was certain most of them would be unusable.

However, some treasures were recorded in the *Pangu True Scripture*.

Qin Sang hadn't had time to properly study this true scripture since obtaining it from the Ghost Mother. In the future, he would definitely need to switch to this cultivation method to continue improving his Heavenly Eye Butterfly.

Regardless of whether he recognized them or not, Qin Sang indiscriminately tucked them all into his storage.

Finally, only miscellaneous items, a pile of spirit stones, and a jade box remained.

From the jade box, Qin Sang sensed an incredibly comfortable fluctuation.

Click!

The jade box gently opened.

A faint blue light shone forth, and spirit energy, so dense it almost materialized into a palpable tide, surged out.

Qin Sang instinctively took a deep breath, his breathing growing lighter.

Inside the jade box was actually a Water-attribute spirit stone. Its spirit energy was purer than any spirit stone he had ever seen, forming tiny vortices on its surface and transforming into a stream of the purest Water-attribute spirit energy.

"A supreme-grade spirit stone!"

Qin Sang was astonished.

He had long heard of supreme-grade spirit stones, but this was his first time seeing one with his own eyes.

One must know that he was already at the late Nascent Soul stage, had once been a sect master, and traveled far and wide. This showed just how rare supreme-grade spirit stones were.

High-grade spirit stones were also quite rare in the cultivation world. Nascent Soul cultivators didn't solely rely on bartering; they often used high-grade spirit stones for transactions.

Many situations required high-grade spirit stones.

However, no one used supreme-grade spirit stones as currency; they were considered an extremely precious treasure.

Even emptying a massive spirit stone mine might not yield a single supreme-grade spirit stone.

Supreme-grade spirit stones were not only essential for some ancient immortal formations but also held extraordinary significance for cultivators themselves. The spirit energy within them was incredibly pure, capable of being directly converted into true essence without needing refinement.

While improving cultivation efficiency and saving time from arduous training were undoubtedly important, if one had a supreme-grade spirit stone when on the verge of exhaustion, it could be life-saving, and unlike the Boiling Snow Pill, it didn't have such severe repercussions.

Of course, these two treasures couldn't be compared so simply. Absorbing a supreme-grade spirit stone required some time, whereas the Boiling Snow Pill could instantly convert into immense true essence.

Anyone who obtained a supreme-grade spirit stone perfectly suited to them would treasure it, rarely using it for trade.

Qin Sang's advantage of having five spiritual roots became apparent here; all five-element spirit stones could be used by him, and the *Primordial Spirit Sword Nurturing Chapter* had no elemental requirements.

He gazed at the spirit stone in the jade box, unable to put it down. He tried to draw a wisp of its energy into his body and, indeed, it felt entirely different from absorbing other spirit stones, astonishing him.

Just then.

The stone house suddenly began to vibrate violently.

Qin Sang was startled. He quickly put away all his items, extended his spiritual sense out of the stone house, and found that the Five Elements Divine Restriction outside had become exceptionally chaotic. The source appeared to be the center of the seal.

He then saw through his avatar that the demonic body had rushed out of the mountain, unleashing a terrifying display of demonic power.

Witnessing this scene, Qin Sang grew thoughtful. "I wonder how strong this ancient devil is? If it can tie down the two Divine Transformation cultivators, keeping them from being distracted, I might be able to seize the opportunity to escape..."

On the other hand, Qin Sang also worried that the ancient devil might be too powerful.

The current number of Divine Transformation cultivators was fewer than that of the Boundless Immortal Sect in its prime. If Central State were to be swept by a demonic catastrophe, could he truly remain safe even if he fled back to the North Sea?

High above.

Despite her words, Sacred King Azure Fox's actions were swift.

She clearly understood that this ancient devil, potentially the only one remaining in this realm, held immense significance.

Her three long tails swayed gently.

Sacred King Azure Fox tilted her head slightly. Her enchanting foxy face surprisingly revealed a sense of holiness. Then, the chaotic sky above the ancient dwelling calmed, becoming unprecedentedly tranquil.

The next moment, a clear, cool moonlight suddenly streamed down.

A bright moon had appeared in the sky, though no one knew when.

It was undoubtedly an illusion, but no one could discern any flaw, believing it was the true moon penetrating the grand formation and shining into the ancient dwelling.

The bright moon shone solely upon one person.

Bathed in moonlight, Sacred King Azure Fox, her robes fluttering, possessed a cool and ethereal demeanor, like a fairy from the moon palace. She bowed gracefully towards the moon.

Fox Demon Worships the Moon!

The next moment, a bright moon, as large as a silver platter, suddenly appeared above the demonic body's head. Its moonlight, like water, connected with the surging tide below, merging into one.

Everyone witnessed the water and moon connecting in the sky, creating a dreamlike and illusory scene that seemed to form a barrier, trapping the demonic body and everyone else within it.

The demonic body, at the very center, felt a terrifying pressure, and its roars grew increasingly frantic.

Seeing Sacred King Azure Fox make her move, Elder Fan and the others' doubts lessened somewhat.

At this moment, Sacred Master Huiguang spoke again: "To suppress this ancient devil, this humble monk shall explore the ancient dwelling with all of you. Aside from the scriptures within, all other treasures shall belong to those with destiny. Furthermore..."

Glancing around at everyone, Sacred Master Huiguang took out a jade bottle. "To those who render great service in this battle, this humble monk has additional significant rewards."

The jade bottle in Sacred Master Huiguang's hand drew everyone's gaze.

Inside the bottle was a strange, multicolored pill, looking like the product of a failed alchemy attempt.

Experienced individuals like Elder Fan immediately recalled something, their faces filled with shock and a hint of sudden realization.

Everyone noticed Elder Fan's reaction and was curious.

The situation was urgent, so Sacred Master Huiguang didn't keep them in suspense: "This is the Five Elements Pill. I presume all of you have heard legends of this pill. After the destruction of the Boundless Hall, this pill was lost to the cultivation world. As the name suggests, when consumed while attempting to break through the Divine Transformation bottleneck, this pill can instantly align one with the Heavenly Dao, to some extent playing a role similar to that of five-element spiritual roots..."

Sacred King Azure Fox glanced at Sacred Master Huiguang, a flicker of mockery in her eyes.

"The Five Elements Pill!"

"The Boundless Hall!"

So, the Divine Transformation cultivators had indeed been trapped in the Boundless Hall before!

Upon learning the pill's origin, no one present, except Qin Sang's avatar, was unmoved. Even True Person Hegao's gaze was drawn to the pill.

Of course, they knew that the Human-Heavenly Resonance was crucial for Divine Transformation.

There were secret arts and supreme treasures in the world that could compensate for spiritual roots, but most could only mend one type. The Five Elements Pill might be slightly less effective than a single type, but it could simultaneously complete all five elements, offering help that was definitely stronger than other treasures!

Everyone stared intently at the pill in the jade bottle, no longer finding it ugly at all.

Under a heavy reward, there are always brave men.

However, they were all battle-hardened and not easily swayed by great rewards.

That the old bald monk was willing to offer such a precious pill as incentive showed just how dangerous the demonic body was. This spiritual pill would have to be exchanged with their lives!

But no one could deny that the Five Elements Pill's allure was immense.

In legend, the Five Elements Pill was a top-tier spiritual medicine for breaking through to Divine Transformation, potentially even more effective than the Sword Tomb in the Immortal Palace.

Among those present, perhaps only Qin Sang could resist the Five Elements Pill's temptation.

However, the appearance of the Five Elements Pill suddenly gave Qin Sang an idea.

His avatar approached Mo Xingdao. "Fellow Daoist Mo, if I can obtain the Five Elements Pill, would it be possible to exchange it for the Spirit Rhinoceros Immortal Fruit?"
