Chapter 207: Five Elements Alliance
all ten poles and complete the Ten Directions Yama Formation.During the tracking of Tan Hao, Qin Sang felt something was amiss. Careful observation revealed that there was another person secretly fol..."Extraterrestrial Demon Race..."

According to Qin Sang's observations and hearsay, cultivators in the Great Thousand World would not regard the Small Thousand World as "outside the world."
In the common understanding of the vast world, the small thousand world originates from the great thousand world and is part of it. Like saplings growing under the shade of a large tree, they sprout from the roots of the large tree and share the same essence.
>
There is even a theory that the vast cosmos will one day come to an end. The smaller cosmos is an extension of the vitality of the vast cosmos and will eventually see one or more small cosmoses grow up during the decline of the vast cosmos, with ruins reborn, providing a way out for all beings and things, simultaneously marking the beginning of a new cycle.
The Demon Clan is considered to be from beyond the realm, there's only one possibility, they come from another world!
"Did Shijie and Bai Zhen really ascend to another great thousand world"
Qin Sang was silent.
If it were a normal world, one that could communicate with our own, there might still be a chance to meet in the future. But the demon race from beyond the realms is viewed as invaders by our world, enemies who must be destroyed. The boundary between realms was once sealed by the Jade Emperor, an insurmountable chasm.
It's as difficult to meet as ascending to heaven!
Outside Fengju Yumen, there have been rumors of Liuli and Gui Mu from the Witch Clan.
Without the Heavenly Demon Sound's interference, Liuli has a chance to ascend as a god and possibly meet with all beings.
Unexpectedly, the senior sister and Bai who ascended first were the ones most difficult to reunite with.
"Why isn't there Dao Ting and Ziwei Palace here Could they have risen during the future turmoil"

Since Heaven-Crossing Elder could tell so many secrets to Jian Nu and entrusted him to wait here for her, Qin Sang didn't need to hide anything anymore. If he had any questions, he could just ask them directly.
When he uttered these words, Qin Sang noticed that Jiannu was somewhat surprised, looking at him with strange eyes.
Jian Nu lightly coughed and said, "Old slave, old slave... has some doubts, originally wanted to ask the real person."
Qin Sang instantly understood. He was afraid that Jian Nu thought he had a close relationship with the Ziwei Palace, perhaps even the disciple of some great power. That's why Tian Yue treated him so importantly.
Unbeknownst to himself, he had indeed received the inheritance, but he was a confused and bewildered successor.
"Fellow Daoist, you've followed Senior Tianyue for many years, yet he has never revealed those secrets to you. What I know is no more than what you do. Furthermore, even if we disregard the past, my current cultivation level is insignificant in the vast world. So what good would knowing be" Qin Sang sighed.
This was Qin Sang's true thoughts.
A cultivator who achieves the Realm of Emptiness can become a hegemon, but in the vast expanse of the universe, they are just a slightly larger pawn. Thinking about the grand karmic consequences associated with him, Qin Sang couldn't help but feel helpless.
The sword slave felt a pang of sympathy and began to recount the information he had uncovered.
Whether it was intentionally erased by someone or for other reasons, the records of the Dao Court and Sword Pavilion are scarce in public texts. This old servant has only gleaned some scattered accounts from those texts.
After Yu Huang opened the heavens and earth, the human race flourished, and various paths emerged. Among them, Taoism stood out the most. The Dan Ding School need not be mentioned, its influence profound. The Fu Lu School is widely recognized as the starting point of the human race's divine way. Some even push the dispute between Mahayana and Hinayana to that era, believing that the path of Mahayana also originated from then.
But according to the records, only the Fu Lu School is mentioned, while there is no mention of the Dao Ting.
"In the end, there were times when the Zhou Dynasty was dominated by sword cultivators. Every time there was a change in power, every powerful being who emerged, it was accompanied by a major upheaval and catastrophe! In an era of great strife, the shadows of various races from different worlds and extraterrestrial demons are inevitably present."
At that time, the sword rainbow obscured the sky and the sun. Thousands of swordsmen rode the wind, ascended the clouds, crossed mountains and seas, soared nine heavens on their swords, and stood before the boundary wall with Sword Pavilion, Boundary Pass, and Punishing Demon Gate. It was said that the sword glow surged like a tide, invading the demon realm, charging ahead without hesitation, slaughtering all directions, causing fear among all demons!
"But there are also rumors that the sword cultivators acted arbitrarily and were intolerant, actively sealing the world barrier to break through and enter the Demon Realm. Ultimately, their blades encountered resistance, bringing a great calamity upon the myriad worlds. There are even rumors of sword cultivators colluding with demons, sowing chaos in the myriad worlds..."
"These true and false contents are mixed together, confusing the vision, it is impossible to distinguish, completely covering up the truth."
"Hmm"
Qin Sang, upon hearing this, immediately realized something was amiss, and his expression gradually grew serious.
According to the Dao he had comprehended, Ziwei Jianzun cultivated the Great Accomplishment Killing Dao. Thus, guarding the boundary wall, slaying demons from beyond, and protecting the myriad worlds, were indeed his deeds.
But why would a guardian of the vast world end up in such a state The Jian Ge, once magnificent, now dilapidated, its legacy broken, and everyone reviling it.
Even the first sword servant spoke of being universally opposed.
Even if the world is against us, it should be the demons from beyond the realm who are universally hated!
Qin Sang thought of all sorts of possibilities, countless conspiracies and schemes flashing through his mind.
Could it be that when Sword Master Ziwei led the Ziwu Palace in battle against the forces at the boundary wall, he overlooked the treachery of someone lurking behind him During the fierce fight between the Ziwu Palace and the demons, when their strength was greatly depleted, a villain seized the opportunity to usurp their achievements and slander their reputation.
Or perhaps the sword cultivators' sharpness is too prominent, having already become a thorn in others' eyes and a splinter in their flesh, facing united suppression.

The Human race is not a monolithic entity, let alone when you consider the presence of other races such as the Shamans and the Demons.
>
Suddenly, Qin Sang's mind flashed with inspiration, thinking of another possibility. His heart tightened slightly.
Everything could be false, only the Tao is true and real. But what if the Tao he comprehends is 'false'
After all, he only received the first twelve layers of techniques. The latter parts on merging and Great Perfection were missing.
If the Great乘 Killing Dao is only the twelfth level of the Dao, after breaking through the integration and Great乘, Ziwei Jianzun gave up the Great乘 Killing Dao again and changed his course
It's not impossible. Looking at the first twelve layers, Ziwei Jianzun's path has never been constant, always moving forward in exploration.
If one abandons the protective heart of Mahāyāna's killing way and charges into the Demon Realm, it might truly just be about seeking a thrill.
Countless thoughts entangled in Qin Sang's mind, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic it became.
Based on limited information, the deductions made will certainly be far from the truth. Qin Sang only speculated on several possibilities, and none of them can be considered credible until concrete evidence is found.
Since then, Qin Sang has become even more eager to obtain the fragments of the Killing Sword and the subsequent techniques, to see what the path of Zi Wei Jian Zun is all about.
Perhaps this is the very path I have been seeking, so there is no need to change my fundamental cultivation technique.
As for changing his allegiance, Qin Sang hadn't thought about it for the time being. His karma with Ziwei Palace wasn't something he could sever just by wanting to. At least for now, he was the biggest beneficiary of this karmic entanglement.
Seeing Qin Sang fall into deep thought, Jian Nu sat quietly and didn't disturb him.
"Did Tian Yue's predecessors ever say where I should go to wait for him after taking the Spirit Sword" Qin Sang wanted to know what arrangements the First Sword Attendant and Tian Yue had made for him.
If he could be sheltered by them and find a secluded and blessed place to cultivate peacefully for thousands or even millions of years, he would be quite content.
"The master told the human to do as he pleased," Jian Nu shook his head, obviously not giving any special instructions.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Wouldn't it be better if Tian Yue could come see me He probably knows what kind of danger lies ahead. Qin Sang sighed inwardly and said, "Could we contact Senior Tian Yue first and meet him Perhaps there's a better way..."
"The master said, a sword's edge comes from sharpening. This is his way!" the Sword Slave replied in a low voice.
This is non-negotiable.
Qin Sang, filled with admiration, leaned back slightly and had to seriously consider his own escape route.
The process of retrieving the sword went smoothly. However, once our identities were exposed, there would be no safe place left in the Eight Great Heavenly States for us, and not even all the human territories would be secure.
Just now, I learned from Jian Nu that the ancient battlefield where Feng Ju Yu Men is located is very vast. Although it stretches between the human race and the Wu race, the danger of entering from the human side is much less than that of the Wu race. It is more difficult for the Wu race to enter their ancestral mountain, and Zi Wei Palace is more inclined towards the human side, which can be considered within the territory of the human race. Therefore, they only need to consider opponents from the human race at Feng Ju Yu Men.
If one were to flee to the Witch Clan, they could see Fireflies and the Ghost Mother, which could be a choice. But how to bypass Fengzhu Yumen is a problem, and it's not necessarily safe. A large lineage like Ziwei Palace would certainly interest the Witch Clan.

If one travels north continuously, they will enter a boundless wilderness. After the fall of the Demon Court, the demons were driven into the wilderness. Over countless years of evolution, who knows what form they have taken now.
Qin Sang was unaware of the desolate situation. All he knew was that the human race could only hold onto the Eight Heavenly States, while Buddhism had expanded its influence beyond them.
Besides, the human race of the Eight Great Heavenly States is not the entirety of the Great Thousand Human Race. There are countless places similar to Yue Du Wan that are not within the Dajiao citizenry.
Between the two races, there is an endless chaotic zone where different tribes live together, full of danger and more perilous than the South China Sea. Those who wish to go to the desolate lands must first pass through these places.
After much deliberation, my choices are truly limited. I must be extremely careful when drawing the sword.
Qin Sang could only take it one step at a time now, so he asked, "When shall we set off"
The Sword Slave will go with him to Duizhou, and then they will separate in Duizhou.
At that time, Jiannu would report to Tian Yue the news according to the agreement, while he himself hid his identity and went to Fengju Yumen alone, waiting for the right moment.

Because the transmission method was special, Jiannu also couldn't see Tian Yue Shang Ren. Qin Sang's intention to meet Tian Yue Shang Ren also became a wishful thinking.

Before I depart, this old slave must first inform the Zhou Palace and make arrangements. It will take at least a month,” Jiannu said.
The King of Zhou's golden guards protect the palace of the King of Zhou.
As the saying goes, "A cicada knows of the coming wind before it blows," any changes in the situation can be sensed quickly. Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to give up this identity.
“Alright! I shall also take a good look at this so-called sacred land of the Great Thousand Human Clan,” Qin Sang nodded, “Daoist friend, do you know if there are any powerful forces in the Zhou Dynasty known for their artifact refinement I consider myself to have some skill in the way of artifact refinement. If I could gain the recognition of a certain force and secure a guest clerk position, it would also be useful for disguise during my westward journey. Those well-established sects are likely to be very strict and difficult to approach; a merchant guild or alliance would be best.”

On the other hand, Qin Sang was also considering himself.
I thought I had some standing among cultivators of the same level, but when I came out, I realized that the road was arduous.
After going back and forth between the Eight Great Heavenly States several times, his collection would soon be depleted. From then on, he would have to rely on his own learning to "make money".
I still remember those days in the talisman world, when I was short on money, I would hunt down criminals and even contemplate the path of killing. How pleasant it was.
“There are some forces renowned for their ability to refine artifacts, the most famous of which is undoubtedly the Heavenly Tower. It is rumored that the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Tower are spirit treasures who have attained enlightenment. They are both innate and acquired spiritual treasures that, due to various reasons, have broken free from the control of their masters and consider themselves a part of the Spirit Clan. However, they are rare, and when people speak of alien races, they rarely mention the Spirit Clan. During my years in Baiyujing, I haven't heard of any member of the Heavenly Tower's Spirit Clan appearing. They are exceptionally mysterious,” Jiannu pondered.”
"Oh Lingbao is a clan of its own"
Qin Sang's heart moved. These spirit races were like Xiao Wu, but Qin Sang didn't dare let Xiao Wu contact them.
The spirit is a unique entity, naturally independent and unwilling to be subservient to others. If the little fifth one were taken away, it would be disastrous.
"Those who are not of my tribe have different hearts. I'm afraid it would be difficult to enter the Heavenly Tower," Qin Sang shook his head.
Once he joins a powerful force, unless it's necessary, he wants to stay there for the long haul. After that, he'll operate, not seeking to climb to high positions, but being able to use the momentum to secure resources for himself is enough.
During the Zhou Wang's reign, whether it was truly a glorious era or just an illusion, we can see that powerful individuals among humanity prefer the existence of rules.
If you are within the rules, you must follow the rules.

“Setting aside the Tiangong Pavilion and those sects, the most famous one is the Wuxing Alliance,” Jiannu said, “It’s rumored to be an alliance formed by some like-minded weapon refiners. Because all things in the world belong to the Five Elements, and the way of weapon refining is found in these things, it takes its name from the Wuxing Alliance. The Wuxing Alliance gradually developed and now covers the Eight Great Heavenly States, absorbing countless weapon refiners. It doesn't care about background, even scattered cultivators can join. There are also some more bizarre…”
The Five Elements Alliance and the Five Elements Crown are quite fitting.
Qin Sang smiled, no need to choose, it's the Five Elements Alliance!
But he was also curious about what those strange things were, and listened to Jiannu continue.
Upon hearing it, he couldn't help but be moved.
It is rumored that there are forces that can help people merge their souls and spirit treasures, abandon their physical bodies, seek refuge in spirit treasures, and survive the tribulation as true spirit spirits. With the body of a spirit spirit, they cultivate the path of a spirit spirit.

Qin Sang knew this was possible. Xiao Wu's birth process had some similarities.
However, their claim of being able to resurrect the dying is dubious at best. Given the exorbitant cost involved, few would be willing to take the risk.
>
After a good conversation, Qin Sang gained a lot of knowledge.
The two then discussed for a while, setting down the plan. Jiannu left the jade talisman of the courtyard formation to Qin Sang and returned to the Zhou Wang Palace.
After seeing Jiannu off, Qin Sang sat quietly in the courtyard, analyzing the information she had gathered over this period.
The peaceful time of cultivation has finally come to an end.
Qin Sang sighed lightly, got up and walked out of the courtyard. He strolled along the streets of Baiyu City, heading towards the Wu Xing Alliance at a leisurely pace.
Unlike the mysterious Tongtian Pavilion, the headquarters of the Five Elements League is located in Baiyijing, on the thirtieth heaven.
However, Qin Sang doesn't plan to go straight to headquarters.
The Five Elements Alliance does business with the outside world, much like guilds in the mortal realm. They aim for approachability and establish a branch every five heavens to make it convenient for cultivators.
The rules for the Thirty-Three Heavens were not explicitly stated by the Zhou Dynasty, but over many years, some widely accepted regulations have emerged from practice.
For example, the Zhou Wang Gong alone occupies the 33rd heaven, and for example, low-level cultivators generally would not venture into higher levels on their own.
After considering it, Qin Sang decided to go to the branch on the twentieth heaven.rds before were not exaggerated, the San Guang Yu Ye (Three Lights Jade Liquid) is incomparable to any other elixir. The Gathering Spirit Bowl collects the essence of heaven and earth, transforming it...
