"Choose a magic weapon."
As Qin Sang entered the牌樓, an inexplicable thought suddenly appeared in her mind.
He was startled, and probably understood the reason.
“This is the limitation that Liuli and Shixue talked about.”
During the trial in the cleansing pool, he had to select a single treasure from all his possessions and was only allowed to use that one throughout the entire process.
The restrictions of the bathing pool are unpredictable and vary greatly, with numerous limitations that are difficult to enumerate. They may appear in various aspects, making it impossible to prepare specifically for them.
Most of a cultivator's strength lies in their magical treasures and supernatural powers, especially their natal magic treasure, which is extremely important.
Other cultivators would undoubtedly choose their natal magic treasure, but everyone has weaknesses. Powerful divine abilities are hard to find, and even if you find one, it might not be suitable for your cultivation. Nascent Soul cultivators habitually choose to buy or refine corresponding treasures to make up for their shortcomings.
Generally, when cultivators encounter this kind of restriction, losing 20% of their strength is normal.
This is not unreasonable.

Qin Sang's eyes flickered, he was pondering the restrictions of the so-called 'treasures', would it include his natal spirit insect and external incarnations
"If that's the case, then perhaps all 'external forces' should be restricted," Qin Sang pondered silently.
Talismans can only be chosen from the Gold-Sinking Sword and Magic Staff.
The Sealing Golden Submergence Sword, and even the Seven Souls Killing Array could not be used. Sealing the Demon Banner allowed only for the manipulation of demonic fire refined in the Fire Lotus, a sharp decrease in power.
After weighing the options, Qin Sang still chose the magic banner.
He presented all the magical flags and Qin Sang silently chose this treasure, making it clear that he selected all of them, to avoid any misunderstanding caused by the restrictions. He was only allowed to use one.
The staff of the magic banner comes from the same ancient treasure, sealing the same spirit fire, and can be considered as one.
To his surprise, after a while, there was no response from the surroundings.
Qin Sang frowned, his mind stirring slightly, and summoned the golden-weighted sword from within the Qianjun Gu.
The moment the sword appeared, a thick fog suddenly descended. A strange wave materialized out of thin air and surged towards Qin Sang frantically. Before he could react, golden runes covered the surface of the sword, flashing and vanishing in an instant.
At this moment, Qin Sang only felt the Golden Sinking Sword heavy as a thousand jun, sealed by some kind of power.
He was still connected to Jin Chenjian, but it was severed. Jin Chenjian couldn't be used anymore, otherwise he would die without knowing how.
Qin Sang sheathed the Golden Depth Sword and then summoned his outer avatar.
As expected, the avatar continued its actions as usual and was not restricted in any way.
Qin Sang's heart settled, and she urged the demonic fire to circulate around her body. She surveyed her surroundings.
All that met the eye was white mist.
The Tianmu Butterfly was not restricted, but the Tianmu Divine Ability was also affected by the fog, and its field of vision narrowed.
Qin Sang discovered that the ground beneath his feet had transformed into a white jade corridor. The corridor hung suspended in mid-air, only two steps wide, with an unfathomable depth below, extremely perilous.
The corridor stretches straight to the deepest point.
Qin Sang had a premonition that something she didn't want to see would happen if she fell out of the corridor.
He was alone in the corridor, nothing around him, no sign of the cultivator surnamed Yue. Yet, there was a sense of oppression.
“Whew!”
Surrounded by flames, Qin Sang took a step forward.
Footsteps echoed silently down the corridor. There was no apparent support beneath it, yet the corridor remained remarkably stable, without any sense of swaying.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As Qin Sang moved forward, another corridor saw a cultivator surnamed Yue walking with caution and vigilance.
He must be wary not only of what lies ahead, but also of what is behind him.
>
Seeing no one appear behind him, the cultivator surnamed Yue relaxed and focused on the challenge ahead.
Unlike Qin Sang, the cultivator surnamed Yue had not only a python flag fluttering beside him, but also a screen-shaped magic treasure engraved with landscapes hovering above his head.
A faint white light flickered at his brow, forming the pattern on the stele.
This is a secret scroll bestowed by the Xuan Tian Palace. It can weaken the pressure of this place, giving newcomers like the Yue surname cultivators an advantage over Qin Sang and Shang Lu.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At this time, Qin Sang was unable to discern the situations of others.
He walked down the corridor, never encountering an opponent, and gradually quickened his pace.
Suddenly, a sinister wind swept in.
A sudden, unexpected gust of evil wind swept through, but Qin Sang remained ever vigilant. His reaction was lightning fast as he immediately channeled his demonic fire, erecting a wall of flames before him.
"Whew!"
The firewall successfully blocked the demonic wind.
As the evil wind was scattered, a phantom figure brushed against the demonic fire, letting out a shriek before scrambling into the white mist and vanishing.
Qin Sang looked in the direction where the shadow fled, but chose not to pursue it.
The exchange was brief, yielding little information. Qin Sang's focus remained on the apparition itself. Despite its ability to scream, it didn't resemble a living creature.
He thought for a moment, then continued forward.
Phantoms harassed frequently, Qin Sang seized the opportunity and used magic fire to trap one. The phantom immediately turned into a cloud of mist, as expected, it was derived from ancient taboos.
After that, he no longer thought much about it and used his magical fire to slay all the phantoms blocking his way.
The further forward they went, the stronger the shadows became. However, the power of the demonic fire was formidable enough to cope with them, there was no need to use other divine abilities. The external avatar didn't need to make a move either, following closely behind Qin Sang, prepared with a defensive divine ability, ready to help at any time.
The Wishful Jewel was restricted, and Qin Sang used an external avatar to protect himself.
Countless phantoms perished in the demon fire.
Qin Sang finally saw a different view.
The corridor abruptly ended ahead, giving way to a circular, spacious platform. In the center of the platform stood a stone statue.
All phantoms have disappeared.
Qin Sang stepped onto the platform, the moment his gaze met the stone statue's, the statue came to life. The stone-carved eyes twitched slightly, fixing on Qin Sang, their gaze filled with fighting spirit!
"Challenge this statue to pass through."
Qin Sang glanced at the void on the other side of the platform, and he understood. Without hesitation, he immediately made his move.
The demonic fire transformed into a fire dragon, about to charge towards the statue.
Just then, Qin Sang's pupils contracted slightly.
Only ripples of emptiness surrounded the stone statue, then a magical treasure materialized out of thin air—a serpent banner!
This is not over.
The stone statue's head shimmered slightly, and a landscape screen appeared.
Outside the bathing pool, Qin Sang had seen cultivators surnamed Yue wielding these two magic treasures.

The statue was actually mimicking the intruder!
'Whoosh!'
The stone statue's eyes flared with battle intent. It took a step back, and at the same time, the landscape screen introduced into the void, reflecting the landscapes from the ink painting into reality. The stone statue vanished into the mountains and rivers.
The scroll enveloped the platform, spreading rapidly towards Qin Sang, intending to pull Qin Sang into the painting and make him a single stroke of ink.
The python flag moved with it, flanking and attacking.
Qin Sang remained composed, immediately splitting his demon fire in half. One half formed a fiery barrier to counter Jiang Shan's wind screen, while his figure flashed, engulfing the other half of the demon fire and charging towards the python flag.
The Sword Coming
The snow python on the flag roared, and familiar jade-white Xuan light appeared before Qin Sang!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He was once acquainted with the rules of this treasure by cooperating with Liuli to crack the Mangqi.
If there were three, it would be acceptable, but a single snow python is truly underwhelming.
Qin Sang's didn't dodge at all. His fingers tapped, and the demonic fire split into a dozen black arrows, piercing deeply into the jade-white Xuan Guang.
'Boom!'
The arcane light collapsed instantly, revealing the true form of the serpent banner.
The demonic fire immediately surrounded the python banner, forcing the snow python out. It roared as it was burned to ashes, the entire process feeling incredibly real and vivid.
After the snow python died, the python banner disintegrated on its own.
Qin Sang felt a sense of relief. The statue's magical artifact could be destroyed and wouldn't reappear, making it much easier to deal with.
Qin Sang swept his eyes over the ink landscape that was about to engulf the entire platform. He first condensed the demonic fire and proactively let the ink landscape swallow them, starting a counterattack.
Qin Sang's figure vanished, becoming a dot of ink in the painting.
Good times don't last forever. Suddenly, flames erupted in the serene ink painting, spreading like wildfire, consuming half of the landscape in an instant.
The stone statue had no expression of joy or anger, but it was not lacking in combat experience. It hurriedly gathered its magical powers, but it was too late.
The demonic flames fiercely burst through the painting and charged towards the statue's core.
Before the statue could react, a blast of cold air surged out from the crack in the demonic fire, freezing it solid.
Qin Sang and his avatar walked side by side, rushing toward the stone statue. The fiery dragon met them head-on.
'Kach!'
>
The statue shattered, Qin Sang victorious.
The visions on the platform instantly subsided, and a new corridor appeared before them.
Qin Sang did not rush forward, recalling the battle just now.
The stone statue used two magical treasures, it seems the cultivator surnamed Yu was not restricted.
It's highly unlikely that a cultivator surnamed Yue wouldn't practice Dao arts. However, the stone statue only uses these two artifacts repeatedly. It's possible that the cultivator surnamed Yue didn't demonstrate them, and the statue can't simply imitate them out of thin air.
I don't know if others have had the same experience, but the stone statues mimicking intruders' powers have become obstacles for everyone else. They should be able to recognize me with the magic banner, as I've already entered the cleansing pool and exposing myself wouldn't matter much.
"However, if I were to choose the Sun God Tree, wouldn't this contest be over now"
In fact, Qin Sang overthought it.
The bathing pool is not just a test of strength. To prevent someone from sweeping the entire field with a single magical treasure, there's another restriction in place. The Nine Nether Demon Fire has already exceeded this limit.
> On another platform.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The cultivator surnamed Yue watched the countless spirit flames dissipate rapidly with the stone statue, his face grave.
"This... such powerful spiritual fire, could it be him"
>
He had been in quiet contemplation on Tianshan Mountain, and hadn't heard any rumors about Qin Sang, but he could also deduce that no fellow disciple would possess such a magical artifact.
The cultivator surnamed Yue's face kept changing, a sense of crisis rising in his heart, and his pace quickened unconsciously.
He was lucky, because he encountered the statue imitating Qin Sang on the first stone platform. His physical avatar hadn't been created before this.
Others will have to face both Qin Sang and his avatar at the same time!
As time goes on.
Qin Sang encountered two stone statues again. Each statue displayed magical artifacts and supernatural powers completely different from the previous ones, obviously imitating other competitors.
The more powerful he displayed, the more likely it was that his stone statue could clear all obstacles and eliminate all competitors. But Qin Sang vaguely felt that things weren't that simple.
Is imitating one's own statue only a way to deal with others
Ultimately, will it become one's own roadblock, cultivating rivals for oneself
Due to this consideration, throughout the entire process, Qin Sang only used demon fire and avatars to deal with the stone statues, and did not use any other means.
Defeat the third stone statue.
Qin Sang continued to move forward.
In a short while, another platform appeared ahead in the corridor.
But unlike before, the statues on the platform were motionless.
The new developments caught Qin Sang's attention. "Is this the final test Only three competitors came in, and only three trials Could it be that Shang Lu didn't come at all"
He pondered these things, walking along the edge of the platform. A sense of something coming over him, he turned back to see that the corridor had vanished.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Everything was silent and still, with no indication of anything happening.
Qin Sang examined it carefully and tried to attack the stone statue, but was blocked by the restrictions. He could only wait patiently.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Luckily, the statue didn't keep him waiting too long.
>
"Ka-cha!"
The stone statue suddenly moved, its eyes slowly opening.
Then, an astonishing scene appeared. In front of the stone statue, countless magic banners materialized out of thin air, identical to those surrounding Qin Sang.
"Wow!"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The Demon Banner rustled ominously, a surge of black spiritual fire erupted from it, its appearance and aura resembling demon fire by eight to nine points!
Qin Sang's heart sank slightly. As expected, it turned out to be true.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But I wonder, is the spirit fire of the stone statue just for show
Here's the translated text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But the statue's transformation was not yet over.
Qin Sang was dumbfounded, watching as a python flag appeared beside the stone statue. A bronze tripod hung above his head, and he pinched a seal with both hands, covering himself in a layer of seven-colored armor...
And another avatar appeared behind him!
Qin Sang displayed all the techniques he had mastered, along with the most powerful artifacts and divine abilities of the three stone statues, one by one on it.
Those who are qualified to participate in the Cleansing Pool competition are all geniuses of Xuan Tian Palace, the best among their peers. They have all learned the secret transmissions of Xuan Tian Palace and there are no weak ones.
With so many magical artifacts and supernatural powers gathered in one body, coupled with powerful spiritual fire and external avatars, it's almost impossible to find a weakness.
Qin Sang encountered this kind of opponent for the first time.
For a moment, I didn't know where to begin.
The stone statue wouldn't give Qin Sang any time to think. It was resplendent with light, the brilliance of magic artifacts and spells flashing alternately, dazzling him.
“Bang!”
The bronze cauldron was overturned, its mouth pointing directly at Qin Sang.
The stone statue's arm swung with force, and the ice fan in its hand shot out a stream of cold air, transforming into an extreme cold hurricane. It was carrying shards of ice sharper than any sword, sweeping across half the platform in an instant.
Meanwhile, the stone statue's external avatar and the python flag attacked from left and right, flanking it.
Qin Sang was surrounded on all sides, and the situation was extremely dangerous.
>
He remained calm in the face of danger, once again relying on his old trick. He sent his avatar to intercept the stone statue's avatar.
At the same time, he turned his heart knot into a dharma seal, breaking free from the shackles of the bronze tripod. Stepping on the lotus seal, he darted through openings like a phantom, bypassing the frigid hurricane and charging towards the python flag first.
Whew!
As it was about to approach the python flag, the spirit fire of the statue arrived as scheduled.
Qin Sang had anticipated this and didn't underestimate it. His figure paused slightly, then immediately poured all his power into the demonic fire to resist.
'Boom!'
Flames dance and swirl in the sky.
Qin Sang's expression moved slightly. The spirit fire of the stone statue was a bit weaker than his own, but there was no doubt that it was a top-level divine ability.
The stone statue is extremely difficult to deal with.
It was almost impossible to find a weakness in its defenses. Every individual's powers and magical artifacts were perfectly integrated into it.
To kill the statue outright within the time limit of the cleansing pool is impossible.
Qin Sang fell into deep thought.
Thinking back to the time I just waited, it must have been waiting for others to arrive. It's unlikely that the opponent is different.
It seems the final requirement isn't to defeat the statues, but to see who can last longer!
If you delay too long, you'll miss the bath.
If that's the case, why not try a different approach Perhaps we could lend a hand to the statues and help our opponent lose as quickly as possible.
Qin Sang's mind flashed with inspiration, and she immediately had a plan.
Chapter Errorattle started in the dead of night, hasn't it been a few hours yetQin Sang's mind was still filled with the intense battle, a little dazed. Then suddenly realizing something, he hurriedly raised his h...
