figure: "Friend Qin, the capital of the Sui Dynasty has not yet been moved, it is still in its original location."As night fell.The capital city of the great Sui Dynasty, with thousands of households...The mountain peaks meet the sky, and the weather is bright.
The mountains towered high, and the mist shrouded the landscape.
Qin Sang pointed at the mountain, and instantly the mountain split open. Rocks crumbled and fell away, some forming strange stones while others were carved into sheer cliffs. Then, a torrent of water gushed forth, cascading waterfalls hung high in the air, transforming the mountain into an extraordinary peak resembling a fairyland.

A gentle breeze carries grass seeds, scattering them across the mountains.
Spiritual energy transformed into sweet rain, irrigating the earth.

Another small creature was moved here from elsewhere, startled and uncertain, it was attracted by the strong spiritual energy, chirping and excitedly running and playing in the mountains.
The entire painting came alive.

Qin Sang flipped his hand to summon clouds and covered it to bring rain.
Spirit beasts gathered, auspicious clouds swirled, dispelling the gloomy aura of the Falling Souls Abyss.
The Ghost Realm turns into a fairyland!
Qin Sang's fingers danced rapidly, the light flashing like arrows, transforming into banners that plunged into the earth, forming a protective mountain formation.
The grand formation took shape, causing the earth to rise and shroud the landscape in a thin veil of mist. Beyond the mountains, only faint outlines could be seen, adding an air of mystery and enchantment.

The former abode of the ancient ancestor of the Ghost Hawk had been moved to the peak, and apart from a few murals, it was nearly unrecognizable from its original state.
Qin Sang meticulously refined the details, quite satisfied. He imparted to Ling Shi and the others the method of entering and exiting the mountain gate, instructing them to journey to the fire domain and bring back the demon soldiers from the former dojo. Then, he swiftly entered his cave dwelling, gazing at the mural in contemplation.
Qingyangguan
Nowadays, the Qingyang Temple looks quite different from before.
The mountain peak where the Taoist temple is located rises tens of thousands of meters. As the main peak, the main hall is situated at its summit.

The surrounding terrain has also undergone various degrees of change, already showing the atmosphere of a fairy's sect.
Qin Sang channeled spiritual veins, setting up a grand formation to lay the foundation for Qingyang Guan. It took him quite a bit of effort.
This place is inherently lacking compared to the Soul-Gathering Abyss, but after thousands of years of nurturing, it can also become a sacred land for cultivation.
The mountains and rivers remain unchanged.
Qibao Village, Schoolhouse, Qinggui Town, Jinxian...
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Ordinary people cannot see these changes. The old Taoist temples still remain in the mortal realm, and in the future, Yulang will often arrange for disciples to provide free medical treatment.
A new Taoist temple is going to be built on the summit, but for now there are only a few huts to accommodate Yu Lang's family.
In a humble hut, Yu Lang and Tai Yi had a diagram laid out before them, outlining their envisioned Taoist temple. The two discussed and made revisions as they went.
Tao Teng sat at the door, leaning against the door frame, gazing out at the mountains in a daze.
The main peak is towering, with a breathtaking view. The vast mountains and rivers are all within sight, making the scenery superb.

He wore plain clothes, a stalk of grass in his mouth, looking listless and bored. No one would have guessed that he had once been a high-ranking general.
Having settled on a detail, Yulang turned his head to see Tao Teng's expression and sighed inwardly. "Have you made up your mind" he asked.
"Will the Qingyang Temple accept me"
Tao Teng raised his eyes and asked back.
"My master said that he no longer meddles in Daoist affairs. You have nowhere else to go, and I can't turn you away,"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Yu Lang walked to the door and looked towards the east, "But you are Yun Xian Shi's personal disciple. Without your master's permission, changing your sect wouldn't you be betraying your teacher and ancestors"
"Apprentice"
>
Tao Teng let out a self-deprecating smile, his expression tinged with coldness. “Master, why didn’t you take me with you”
He, however, was unaware that upon returning to the mountain, Cloud Immortal learned of the truth and was so startled that he broke out in a cold sweat. He retreated back into the mountain gate, daring not to set foot in the mortal realm again.
Yulang knew his heart was heavy with worry and said, “Yun Xian Shi taught you the Taoist arts and guided your cultivation. Although there was some use for you, he had no ill intentions towards you. Before leaving, Yun Xian Shi left you a sound transmission talisman, which shows that he acknowledged you as his disciple. To enter Yun Du Tian and become a direct disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator is something countless people dream of.”
Tao Teng looked up at the sky, silent. He then glanced at the land of Yan Guo and murmured, "Yun Du is too far from the mortal world."
Yu Lang sighed and said, "People of different paths don't conspire together. This is probably true."
Tao Teng was his dearest friend, the two shared the same ideals and aspirations. He also hoped that Tao Teng would stay, but he didn't know which choice was better for him. He could only let Tao Teng make his own decision.
>
“We should go see Yun Xian Shi. Tai Yi and I will be visiting Yundou Tian soon after, you should come with us,” Jade Lang said.
Tao Teng remained silent, simply nodding.
>
Just then, a ray of light flew down from the mountain and landed outside the Taoist temple. It was Sha Jiayu.
Sha Jiayu first performed a courtesy to Tai'e, and handed Yu Lang a jade slip, saying: "These days walking among mortals, I have found dozens of children with excellent talents. I have placed them in the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain. You go and examine them, and you will be able to bring them into the sect."
>
The jade slips meticulously record the origins of these children and Sha Jiayu's comments, which are quite painstaking.
Yulang and Taiyi exchanged glances and said, "Being able to resolve all matters so quickly, elder brother's constant running around has been invaluable. Both Taiyi senior and I would like to invite you to join the Qingyang Guan, what do you think If elder brother wishes to revive the Sha family, he can also serve as a guest minister of the Qingyang Guan…"
Shajia Yu shook his head, "Do you remember what I told you before When you settle down, I will go out to travel. Now is the time to leave. The reason I came here is to bid farewell."
He paused, then hesitated again: "In the future, I hope brother will show some kindness to the Yin family."
It sounds absurd for a Qi Refinement cultivator to look after a family with Nascent Soul cultivators, but Jade Bright’s identity as the current head of Qingyangguan is not something that can be disregarded. Even Yun Du Tianzong's sect leader wouldn't dare to treat him disrespectfully.
Qingyangguan monitors the mortal world and will not interfere with the cultivation world, but who dares to ignore Qingyangguan
With just one word, no one dared to provoke the Yin family.
Yu Lang could feel Sha Jia Yu's deep love for him and felt very reluctant. He said, "Yesterday, Yin Family sent a letter saying they will visit in three days. Brother, perhaps you should wait a little longer."
He knew that Sha Jiayu felt guilty about using Nianhui, and Nianhui still had lingering feelings for him.
Though they were destined to be together, fate and a tangle of grievances kept them apart, a truly regrettable outcome.
Perhaps by speaking their hearts to each other face-to-face, they could unravel the knot in their hearts and rebuild their spirits.
No need!

Sha Jiayu felt ashamed and remorseful, bowed his hand in farewell, turned around, mounted his escaping light and vanished into the sky.

The escaping light vanished at the horizon.
Yulan thought to himself, the grievances and affections of the mundane world are truly inextricable and confusing. Even cultivators are entangled in them, unable to free themselves.

I wonder if Master can make it clear
"Once he figures things out, he'll definitely come back. Perhaps not in a hundred years," Tai Yi patted Yu Lang on the shoulder and walked out of the hut, striding towards the summit.
On the mountaintop, a stone mansion was built to house the main altar, which is a forbidden area in Qingyangguan.
Tai Yi walked up and saw that the gate of Shi Mansion was half open. He instantly beamed with delight, patted the nonexistent dust off his clothes, and bowed respectfully: "Greetings to Your Lordship!"
Come in.
Qin Sang looked at Tai Yi as he walked in and asked in a deep voice, "Will you join the Five Thunder Academy"
Tai Yi's heart trembled, and with ecstasy he fell to the ground and shouted, "Disciple is willing!"
After becoming a spiritual medium, he yearned for the Daoist sect with all his heart. How could he possibly resist
Qin Sang's heart moved slightly, causing the talisman altar to stir. The Five Thunder Envoy Seal within the talisman altar trembled slightly, shooting out a golden light.
Qin Sang's voice echoed within Shi Mansion.
The voice boomed like thunder, with the majestic power of heaven.
>
“I, the envoy of Wulei Courtyard, hold the seal of Wulei Courtyard. This decree is issued from Wulei Courtyard. Now, there is my disciple Tai'e, who slays demons and evil spirits, protecting humanity. I remember your merits and hereby bestow upon you the rank of From Fourth Rank, Shangqing Official of Yufufu, also a Wulei Envoy!”
Every word Qin Sang uttered caused a tremor of golden light, which formed a shimmering golden character in mid-air.
As the guardian of Wu Lei Court, he had the power to bestow titles.
In the Imperial Court, all officials with a rank above fourth rank came from the Nine Heavens Golden Palace. Qin Sang's highest possible appointment was a titular position of the fourth rank.
In fact, during the peak of Dao Ting's power, Tai Yi's cultivation was not qualified to hold a position from the fourth rank. After all, the Five Thunder Hall Master was only a正三品 (zheng san pin) official.
The last golden character solidified, and golden light rippled. The imperial decree scroll transformed into a scroll and flew towards Tai'yi.
My long-held wish has finally come true, and I am overjoyed.
Qin Sang is the Five Thunder Court Envoy appointed by the Celestial Master. His decree, the Golden Book of Decree, is the legitimate authority of the Daoist Court. In the future, when other Daoist cultivators encounter Taia, they must also recognize it.
Tai Yi had no official appointment, held no office, and received no assignments. It was simply that the Wulei Temple was known but lacked substance. Qin Sang's command had neither soldiers nor troops, and there was no one to assign tasks to him.
Qin Sang was still considering whether to establish a sect here, build an altar, and confer talismans and preach the Dao.
>
I don't know when the court will ever be restored, and the chance of becoming a well-governed state is slim.
"From now on, you will cultivate here. Take these and comprehend them thoroughly. When you have achieved a deep understanding, your cultivation will advance greatly."
Qin Sang again gave Tai Yi a jade slip and a mustard seed bag.
The jade slip contained his insights gleaned from the Thunder Platform, while the pouch held various spiritual treasures that could aid Tai-Yi's cultivation.
Qin Sang was preparing to leave.
When leaving, he was prepared to leave Tai Yi behind. The two demon marquises had to be kept close by his side. If Tai Yi were also taken, the remaining power would be too weak. Qin Sang didn't dare to say for sure when he would be able to find Daoting. Tai Yi following him around was tiring. It would be better to leave him behind to look after Qianyuan Guan and practice using the Thunder Altar.
Moreover, after Qin Sang left, no one at Qingyang Guan could operate the Thunder Altar.
The Tai Yi Ben is a lightning talisman that communicates with spirits and attains Taoism. Being naturally close to thunder, if it advances to the later stage of transforming into a god and sits in the main altar, there is hope to activate the oath of summoning thunder.
Of course, its power is certainly inferior to Qin Sang's personal control, but it should also be able to threaten cultivators of the Refining Void realm and deter the weak, ensuring peace for one side.
Before he left, Qin Sang had to help Tai Yi raise his cultivation level as quickly as possible.
Taiyi received the Jade Scroll and was immediately captivated by its contents, becoming completely absorbed in them, as if entranced.
Qin Sang didn't disturb him, called Yu Lang over, gave some instructions, and left Qingyang Guan, heading north.

The Fire Realm.
Qin Sang arrived at the location of the old Daoist temple, released his breath and waited for a moment. A streak of purple light suddenly appeared.
Gūyún Sǒu gave a bow and said, "Since the Panlong Heavenly Pillar is here, let's move the remains from other places over."
The two immediately went their separate ways.
Qin Sang went west, while Gū Yún Shǒu went east.
He knew the locations of all the ruins by heart. He arrived at a volcanic zone on the westernmost edge of the Fire Domain, where a ruin lay beneath a volcano.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Qin Sang floated above the crater, his hand forming a claw as he aimed downward and grasped forcefully. The magma inside the volcano erupted suddenly.
After the volcanic eruption was over, Qin Sang drew on the energy of heaven and earth to uproot several volcanoes. Then, the ruins slowly rose from the lava.
This relic is a stone slab even larger than a mountain, with cracks along its edges. The surface of the slab is covered with countless strange inscriptions, emitting waves of ancient prohibition.
This is the translated content:
Please let me know if you have other content you'd like me to translate!
Having unearthed the stone slab, Qin Sang headed north. The stone slab followed behind him, seeming to carry a mountain as it flew.
Thus, each relic is moved out and returned to its former temple grounds.
This is a test.
Gūyún Sōu's movements were faster, already waiting here. The two fixed the ruins in the sky, their immense shadows covering the earth like a cluster of meteorites.
Below, magma surged, and the ruins shifted upward. Qin Sang took out the Panlong Sky Pillar and drove it into the ruins.
The core of the ruins was split out by Qin Sang and destroyed during the battle with the ancestor of the Underworld Falcon.
Although Qin Sang copied those ancient seals, restoring them was not easy.
Let's just ignore the Panlong Celestial Pillar for now.
Qin Sang and Gu Yun began to join hands in piecing together the ruins.
The two sat cross-legged in mid-air, communicating telepathically. Though not masters of formations, they each had their own unique insights into the way of battle restrictions.
After a good discussion, we both gained some inspiration and gradually figured out some details, joining hands to pull one of the ruins.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Remains fell to the ground, landing beside their original counterparts. The two remained separate, with a considerable distance between them. However, the moment one fell, subtle ripples of energy stirred within both remnants' restrictions, responding to each other.
Then the second, third...
Unconsciously, five years have passed.
For five years, the two stood motionless, manipulating the ruins as they constantly shifted positions, like piecing together a fragmented puzzle.
With Qin Sang and Gu Yun Lao's movements, all the relics fell to the ground, here a piece, there a piece, in utter disarray.
Viewed from above, it resembled a ruined city after a war, its splendor shattered and riddled with holes, as if overwhelmed by floodwaters.
But in Qin Sang and Gu Yun's eyes, these fragments corresponded to a certain rule and could be seen as a whole.
For a full five years, the two moved position for the first time, drifting to above the Panlong Heavenly Pillar.
>
With ruins as a reference, it was finally possible to see some clues from the Panlong Heavenly Pillar.
After much deliberation, they exchanged glances and flew to opposite ends of the ruins. They joined forces to draw upon the primal energy of heaven and earth.
A sudden change in the wind and clouds.
In the ruins, ancient taboos were triggered one after another. In the whirlwind formed by flames, a golden light flashed suddenly.
The dots grew in number, and fragments of the ruins shimmered, transforming into gold and connecting into a single sheet.
In the ruins, a dull sound echoed. Suddenly, golden light shot into the sky, and a golden dragon was born in the light.
To be precise, it's just a dragon-shaped outline.
This golden dragon, with its formidable horns and claws, lay coiled in the earth, its body twisting and turning, as if about to rise into the heavens and command the wind and clouds.
The fragments of ruins are part of its body, and the glittering gold is the radiance of its dragon scales.
Though its body is broken, it does not lose its majesty.
Following closely, a golden dragon's illusory form soared into the air, baring its teeth and claws, charging towards the Panlong Heavenly Pillar.
The dragon's body coils around the heavenly pillar, raising its head to the sky. Its mouth wide open, it roars towards the heavens.
It's a pity, such a breathtaking sight only lasted for a fleeting moment before the dragon's shadow vanished.
This dragon shadow, contains a certain variation of the ancient Panlong formation, is the key to understanding it. It's exactly what Jitian Sect needs, and Qin Sang recorded the whole process.
When the time comes, I will offer it to the Jitian Sect along with the Panlong Heavenly Pillar.
Gūyún Sōu bid farewell, saying, "An old man has an appointment with Yu Dào, my friend from Gǔ Héyuàn. It's time for me to leave."
After bidding farewell to the solitary cloud sage, Qin Sang returned to his new dojo, sealed himself within his cave dwelling, and retrieved the relics of the ancestral ghost hawk. Golden Core, he will inevitably need a Dan Shi to help him refine the Du E Dan, in order to achieve the Nascent Soul.The pay is secondary; the key is whether this person is capable and trustworthy.Fi...
