Chapter 2,025: Spirit of Meditation
d smashed into the forest along with the disheveled Taoist.'... thump thump thump...'Branches were broken countless times, leaves flew everywhere, and after a flurry of chaos, the forest fell silent.D...This kind of gall crystal might be surprisingly effective even for a six-transformed Celestial Eye Butterfly. It's quite an unexpected gain.
"Buzz buzz..."
When Qin Sang approached the flower tree, the insect sacrifice felt threatened and went mad to protect Yingjing.
>
A swarm of insects enveloped Qin Sang, their rapid chirping accompanied by visible yellow waves assaulting his primordial spirit.
Qin Sang was amidst the storm, yet remained unaffected. His eyes were clear and focused as he drew closer to the flowering tree.
Seemingly unable to land a hit, the frenzied sacrificial insect began ramming Qin Sang with its body. However, each attack was repelled by the Ming Shan armor covering Qin Sang, some even shattering on impact. But it was like trying to stop a chariot with one's arms.
Qin Sang was unharmed. He walked to the flowering tree and picked a flowerpot, shaking it to check its weight. Satisfied, he put it away.
This action enraged the mantises even more. Several special mantises flew out from the swarm, their bodies several times larger than other mantises. They had sharp fangs on both sides of their mouths and let out a piercing screech at Qin Sang.

Upon seeing these peculiar sacrificial insects, Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat.
The Wu clan's method of cultivating sacrificial insects is a closely guarded secret passed down through generations. He didn't know how to cultivate them or subdue them, but he could try taking these few special sacrificial insects away. Perhaps he could find some clues by experimenting with them.
Besides assisting in rituals and producing galls, spirit insects have many other uses.
He lacked the support of a Wuzhu tribe, but he had an entire Storm Realm behind him. Cultivating his own sacrificial insects would benefit the entire Storm Realm. However, the difficulty of cultivating sacrificial insects was too great, and Qin Sang had little confidence in himself.
A sword flash easily split dozens of sacrificial insects in half, appearing above a special sacrificial insect.
The special insect was very fierce, daring to attack the Grey Sparrow Sword. But when it was wrapped by the sword light, it charged left and right but couldn't break free, and then it was taken back by the sword light.
Qin Sang made a move, imprisoning it and putting it into his spirit beast bag. Then, he followed the same method to capture each special sacrificial insect one by one.
The swarm outside thinned considerably, and a layer of insect corpses lay among the flowers. With their leader captured, the insects’ attacks were greatly weakened.
Behind him came the sound of breaking air. Pei Gongfeng caught up, his gaze sweeping over the flower trees. The vase containing the dzi crystal had been taken by Qin Sang, but the lingering fragrance remained.
His pupils constricted, Pei Gongfeng gave Qin Sang a deep look. "Elder Qin seems to know quite a bit about this place"
“Qin Mo wasn't completely obsessed with crafting, he also raised several spiritual insects. There was a rumor that the human race's art of taming insects originated from the witch tribe's legacy. Out of curiosity, I gathered some ancient texts and found quite a few records about the witch tribe's insect-taming techniques. Unfortunately, now that the relationship between humans and witches is strained, the distance between Fengzhu Yumen is like an insurmountable chasm. Otherwise, Qin Mo might have gone to the witch tribe to ask for advice in person,” Qin Sang said.

"Elder Qin is indeed learned," Pei Gonggong nodded, praising him. As for whether he believed Qin Sang's words, only he knew.
At this time, the Xin family also caught up. Even if they guessed that there might be treasures here, not even Pei Gong had investigated further, let alone dared to ask more questions.
Having overcome the threat of the sacrificial insects, the group continued their journey. Unexpectedly, they found no entrance to the next level; the space before them seemed endless, with rolling hills that grew increasingly desolate and ominous, constantly reminding them that they might be in a tomb.
After flying for a while, they encountered no further danger, but everyone saw an unusual sight.
At the summit of a mountain ahead, there stood a uniquely designed platform. Not even a blade of grass could be found on this mountain; its rocks were stained black as ink, giving the entire mountain a sinister feel.
Above was bare, but this scene before them caused everyone to stop and dare not approach.
>
The high platform almost occupied the entire mountaintop, with sheer cliffs on three sides. A stone staircase led directly to the foot of the mountain, clearly built by someone carefully. The traces on the stairs were not entirely from the erosion of time, they obviously had been used for a long time.
This indicates that someone lived here once!
Gazing at the high platform from afar, Pei Guofeng asked: "Elder Qin has seen much and knows a great deal. Can you tell what that high platform is used for"
"It could be an altar used by the Wuzhu tribe for sacrificial rites."
Qin Sang pondered, "In ancient times, tribes of the Wu clan often built altars on the highest points, believing it to be a better way to communicate with heaven and earth."
This mountain is the highest peak nearby.
With sacrificial worms and altars, could this be the dwelling place of a tribal shamanistic group But who would build their home to look like a tomb
Qin Sang was increasingly unable to see through this place.
"It's the Witch Clan again!" Pei Fenggong frowned.
The Wu clan and the human clan have different inheritances, some things cannot be measured by common sense, it is very likely that there will be variables, exceeding his control.
"I remember, Daoist Xin should have never used the Shamanic divine powers," Pei Gong stared at Young Master Xin's eyes.

Just a look brought immense pressure upon Shao Zhu, her delicate frame trembled slightly, and she whispered: "Senior Pei said, my father has never mentioned the Wu clan to me either."
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
"Oh"
Pei Gongfeng's expression twitched slightly, "In that case, Daoist Xin doesn't know if this place is related to the Wu clan"
>
In that case, perhaps the Xin family doesn't know as much about this tomb as they thought before.
Luo Guanta's eyes flashed with a hint of anxiety. The eyesight of cultivators at the Refining Void stage was too sharp; they could see through any trace. Once they deemed the Xin family worthless, the roles would reverse. At best, the Xin family would receive only a meager share, and they might even be expelled altogether.
Master Xin was still relatively composed. "My father indeed hasn't come here personally. He only received some clues about this place and made deductions based on them. There are some things my father may not be certain about, and he worries that telling me might lead to a misjudgment. Therefore, he didn't mention it."

"Is that so It seems I invited Elder Qin for a reason," Pei Gong offered a smile towards Qin Sang, "Elder Qin understands the Wuzhu clan far better than we do. In the journey ahead, we'll have to rely on Elder Qin to help us."
"Qin Mo did his best," Qin Sang said calmly.
The crowd went around the altar and continued forward, flying over thousands of mountains. Suddenly, the sound of water came from the front.
This is the sound of waves lapping at the shore. Everyone flew forward and sure enough, they saw the water surface. It was a vast expanse of water like a sea, stretching as far as the eye could see. An ocean existing within the tomb!
The waves were not big, and the water gently lapped against the rocks. What was strange, however, was that the seawater was black.
The sea was without islands. In the depths, the sky and the water were as black as ink, looking very mysterious.
"Still at the front" Pei Gong looked towards Xin Shao.
Xin Shao nodded.
“I will personally lead the way, you follow behind me. Have Elder Qin bring up the rear. If anything unexpected happens, it will give you time to react. What do you think, Elder Qin” Pei Gong offered his arrangement.
Elder Qin could not be more right.

It sounds like this formation would be advantageous to the Xin family, but Master Pei completely disregarded Young Master Xin's opinion. The Xin family cultivators sensed the shift in Master Pei's attitude and, gazing at the gloomy sky in the distance, felt a sense of uncertainty about the future, their hearts filled with secret worry.
From the shore, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Following Master Pei's instructions, everyone took flight and soared deeper into the Black Sea.
>
The sea was as black as ink, with no living creatures visible beneath the surface. There were only sounds of water and an eerie silence. The strange environment made everyone more and more nervous.
Pei Gongfeng claimed to lead the way, but after flying for a distance, he seemed to notice something and unceremoniously dispatched two cultivators from the Xin family to scout ahead.
Those two Xin Family cultivators looked at Young Master Xin, but Young Master Xin wouldn't openly defy Elder Pei. He could only nod silently.

On the vast expanse of open sea, nothing could be seen; beneath the surface, there was no sense of danger. Just as everyone felt that Priest Pei was being overly cautious, they were astonished to see two cultivators from the Xin family vanish into thin air before their very eyes.

The faces of the Xin family members changed drastically. "What's going on, where did the fifth brother and his group go"
Pei Gongfeng smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Qin Sang, and asked, "Qin Elder, what have you seen"
"Cosmic chaos!"
Qin Sang said in a deep voice.
Ahead, everything seems normal at first glance. In reality, it is two different spaces, like merging two separate small universes together. Fractured space is common near the Fengju Yumen Gate, but so calm and nearly undetectable, with no turbulence when traveling through it, this is the first time I've seen something like it.
"It's not necessarily this reason, it could also be some kind of formation," Pei Gong said, shaking his head.
Ahead, the light and shadow flickered. Two cultivators from the Xin family went back and forth, seeing the expressions of relief on everyone's faces. It was clear that they had also lost track of everyone before.
Entering the front space, they found another identical black sea, but the sea breeze was stronger than before.
Continuing to fly for a while, the wind grew stronger and the sky became increasingly overcast.
"Something's not right."
Qin Sang said in a low voice.

“Very well, you lot be careful. What about that previous bell Present it!” Pei Gong offered no courtesy as he ordered the Xin family cultivators.
Xīn Shǎozhǔ followed suit and raised the precious bell. The treasure light enveloped the Xīn family cultivators.
Meanwhile, a violent windstorm arose, and dark clouds quickly filled the sky. A heavy rumble of thunder echoed across the sea.
"Aha!"
‘Boom boom!’
Clouds crackle with lightning and thunder, a storm is approaching.
At first, everyone's expressions were relaxed, but soon that relaxation was lost. Thunder gathered from all directions above their heads, growing more and more intense. A terrifying aura hung in the air.
Besides lacking the might of heaven, this scene rivals even a tribulation.
"No! Run!"
Pei Guofeng's face changed slightly, his speed increased instantly. This space was not a single entity; if he rushed out of it, he should be able to escape the danger.
Even the offerings to Lian Pei had to flee, one can only imagine what the Xian family cultivators are feeling now.
'Boom!'
Countless lightning bolts poured down, illuminating the sea as bright as day. The crowd was instantly swallowed by the flash of light.
The jade ruyi hovered above Pèi's head, causing the surrounding lightning to be unable to strike.
Qin Sang wielded his sword, cleaving through the lightning bolts one after another. He glanced at the crowd from the Xin family out of the corner of his eye.

That bell was more effective against spiritual attacks, so it wasn't very useful here. Lao Guan hastily summoned a long banner and together they channeled their energy into it. The banner unfurled, enveloping them beneath its protection.
>
Under the incessant bombardment of lightning, the banner shuddered violently, revealing flickering ghostly lights.
It may seem like the lightning has been blocked, but the real danger is just beginning.
Just then, Qin Sang and Pei Gongfu suddenly looked up to the sky.
“Danger!”
At this moment, a sense of foreboding arose in their hearts. They all sensed danger from the dark clouds.
This aura appeared suddenly without any warning, and it was an aura that could threaten even a cultivator at the Refining Void stage!
Almost as if in response to the warning, a bolt of lightning erupted from the clouds. Unlike previous flashes, this one resembled a gigantic crescent moon, slashing across the void with blinding speed.
Here's the text translated to English:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The attack came too suddenly, Qin Sang and Pei Gongfeng had no time to escape, they could only withstand it.
As the saying goes, "Tend to your own doorstep first," before they understood the full might of Yuèyá Shēndiàn's power, their priority was self-preservation. They did not immediately rush to protect the Xin family.
Qin Sang secretly paid attention to Xin Shaozhu's movements, taking this opportunity to force out more cards from the Xin family. Pei Gongfeng probably thought so too.
'Whoosh!'
The crescent lightning struck with a shocking force.
All were instantly engulfed by the lightning, surrounded by a silver-white glow. The overwhelming force of the storm surged towards them.
A bolt of lightning erupted, resembling a sea of light. Suddenly, a flash of sword light appeared, cutting through the storm with a terrifying aura. It was Qin Sang wielding his Huijing Sword, battling against the electric current and surging forward.
Standing high above, Qin Sang saw a bluish light rising from the lightning. Pei Gongfu also dashed out from under the protection of his jade Ruyi.
The two looked at each other, and simultaneously turned their gazes to the Xin family.
This crescent-shaped lightning strike undoubtedly possesses the power of a Refining Void level. They must all exercise caution in dealing with it, and if the Xin family does not handle it properly, someone could very well fall here on the spot.
What followed, however, left both Qin Sang and Pei Guofu greatly astonished.
A blade aura stretching a hundred zhang, just one step slower than them, with an imposing force capable of cleaving through anything, fiercely tore apart the lightning.
Then, Master Xin led the Xin family members out of the chasm formed by the blade qi. Although the expressions on their faces were still filled with shock, they were all unharmed.
Qin Sang's gaze was slightly focused, she looked up and down at Master Xin, finally settling on the back behind her. There seemed to be a shadowy figure hidden behind her, like her own shadow, clinging tightly to her body.
“This is the Spiritual Meditation of the Xin family, passed down through generations I didn't expect that you, Xin Sheng, could already manipulate it with ease. You are truly gifted!”
Pei Gongfeng recognized the origin of the shadow and exclaimed in admiration.
No one noticed the flicker of delight in Pei Guofeng's eyes, as if he were urging Xin Shao to summon the Míng Líng here. This was precisely what he wanted to see.
While Young Master Xin's face bore no trace of satisfaction, his breath was somewhat hurried. Bloodshot appeared in his bright, jade-like eyes, as if summoning the spirit had taken a heavy toll.
Seeing that the dark clouds in the sky still hadn't dispersed, Young Master Xin didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly led the Xin family members forward at a rapid pace.
Qin Sang and others were racing across the Black Sea, completely unaware of the changes happening behind them.
Outside the tomb, a gentle breeze rustled through the air, and an old man materialized out of thin air.
The old man had white hair but a youthful face. Looking at the ancient seal on the stone gate, which had already been broken, he stroked his white beard and smiled with satisfaction.
"Hmph! Old Ghost Pei, you think that with just you and that inexperienced young master Xin, this little trickery can fool this old man To treat the Xin family as taboo, I want to see what other tricks you have..."
Before the words could leave his mouth, the old man's figure flickered and silently slipped through the crack in the stone door. He turned into a wisp of smoke, following along the path to the tomb.
