Chapter 1930: The Third Thunder Altar
dwelling.The cave dwelling's original form was a towering mountain. Though grand in size, the mountain had been thoroughly explored by people. There were five locations that were widely recognized as...In the mountains, near Mount Twilight.

Several beams of light shot from the west, hovering briefly in the air before descending to the ground, revealing several figures clad in crimson robes.
“The brother-disciple's aura should have vanished around here,” the woman with a sultry voice spoke.
Her palm was as crystal clear as jade, not like that of a normal human. In her hand, she held a blood-colored jade pendant.
Within the jade pendant, a wisp of grayish-white energy, as thick as a little finger, was sealed.

At this moment, cracks spiderweb across the jade pendant, and a grey-white aura is fading away.
A woman and a man in red beside her stood still, using jade pendants to sense something.
Others dispersed spontaneously, quickly searching a radius of thousands of miles, and reported back one after another, "There were no signs of pursuit or fighting."
The woman let out a sigh, "So it seems, Junior Brother Tu was captured alive and brought here to be silenced. The Lingxi Cave Mansion and the Eight Formations of Erosion Mist have been completely destroyed, but we don't know if Junior Brother Tu subdued Lingxi afterward or if Lingxi hid some powerful means."
"Dealing with a mere spirit infestation like that old poison, if even that goes wrong, wouldn't your junior brother be pathetic!"
The red-robed person beside him let out a dismissive cold snort, "Even if Tu's junior brother is not very talented, he was taught by the master. Ling Shi can only protect his life at most, it is impossible to capture Tu's junior brother alive! This person, Ling Shi, is solitary and introverted, and never deliberately makes friends with strong people. He might be from another force who took advantage of the chaos. It could even be our enemy who specifically targeted my Luohun Abyss."
"The other side"
The woman frowned in thought.
>
Across the entire Duskfall Mountain, there are few who dare to defeat the Tu Yuan and offend the Fallen Soul Abyss.

Just then, a sharp piercing sound came from afar, and a red-robed cultivator shouted urgently.

"Oh no! The Azure Sand mine has been compromised! All the Azure Sand has been completely mined out!"
'Bang!'
The woman's jade hand clenched, crushing the soul tablet. "Líng Shí may still be alive!" she said coldly.
The man beside her remained remarkably calm. "If I were possessed, I would have fled far away by now, it wouldn't be easy to find me. Right now, completing the task entrusted to me by my master before his retreat is paramount. Fortunately, junior brother Tu doesn't know much of a secret, he can't reveal much. However, we need to be careful in our actions going forward so as not to repeat past mistakes."

A few people were unwilling to give up. After searching meticulously for a long time, they still couldn't find any clues and had no choice but to leave disappointedly.
This is the present moment.
Qin Sang is already on the way back.
Before questioning the glyph, I learned some information about the Falling Soul Abyss.
The Patriarch of Luohun Abyss, also known as Tu Yuan's master, is called the Patriarch Minggu. He is the only cultivator who has reached the state of Refining Void in Luohun Abyss.
Qin Sang was very curious about the cultivation level of this ancestor Minggu. Had he reached the middle stage of refining emptiness, or even higher
The powerful cultivator Shenlong of the Void Realm is a myth, leaving only rumors and hearsay in the outside world.
Unfortunately, the status of the talisman wasn't high enough. In his eyes, he only knew that Master's cultivation was unfathomable. Master had been in seclusion at the bottom of the Soul Falling Abyss for years, and he had never seen Master make a full-powered attack.
From this, we can also judge that Yun Dutian is very wary of this ancestor of the Netherhawk, and the two sides do not interfere with each other.
Conquering the Spirit Eater was indeed an order issued by Patriarch Minggou, but it was relayed by other senior brothers. Tu Yuan was only the executor and had no idea what the purpose of capturing the Spirit Eater was.
He was also baffled by the situation.
Qin Sang wasn't planning on delving deeper. This trip was considered a success, not only did he find the right person, but he also brought someone back with him.
Ling Xi followed Qin Sang to the dojo located in the Fire Domain, and couldn't help but marvel at it.
He was very curious to know what the cultivators of Luohun Abyss and Yundutian would think when they learned that a mysterious powerful being was hidden here.
"Master, you're back."
Lord Guihou welcomed Qin Sang with the utmost respect and watched Ling Shi with a wary gaze.
“This is Ling Xie, a fellow cultivator. Please arrange a cave dwelling for him and let him cultivate here in the Daoist field,” Qin Sang said, turning his head to look at Ling Xie, “How long will it take to refine the azure sand”
Tianqing sand itself is a special spiritual object. After being tempered by the Spiritual Corrosion Poison Technique, it can produce a highly potent poison, and it can also be used in conjunction with other spiritual objects to enhance its toxicity.

Let's have the Spirit Erosion refine it first. If direct refinement can meet the requirements, then there's no need to go through any trouble.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
He dug out a whole vein directly, there's definitely enough Tianqing sand.
"It's been many years since I last worked with Tianqing Sand. After a brief rest, I'll immediately begin refining it," Ling Shi said, having witnessed Qin Sang's powerful strength and readily acknowledging him as his senior.
Qin Sang nodded and drifted toward the cave dwelling.
"Spirit Eater, my name is Gui Hou. I have a lot of free time in the mountains. You can choose a comfortable place, but it's best not to be too close to the top of the mountain so as not to disturb my lord's meditation. Please follow me," Gui Hou gestured with his hand and flew towards the foot of the mountain.
“Thank you, Daoist Gui,” Ling Shi bowed and followed after him.
Qin Sang ignored how Gui Hou disposed of the Ling Shi, returned to his cave dwelling, and continued his seclusion. According to his plan, he pondered over the Sword Formation, Sword Territory, and Qingluan Dharma Form.
Creating his own sword array and comprehending the Sword Realm are both tremendous tests for Qin Sang.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Especially the Sword Realm, it shouldn't be a place for cultivators of the Void Refining stage to tread. Qin Sang, with the help of the Purple Micro Sword Sutra and Tianyue Sword Light, only had a chance to glimpse its scenery.
In comparison, comprehending the Qingluan Dharma Form is much easier and its progress is also the most noticeable.
After settling down in the Daoist temple, Ling Shi had been secluded in cultivation and alchemy for three months. Upon his first emergence from seclusion, he arrived at the peak and carefully triggered the restrictions of the cave dwelling.
"Come in."
The stone gate creaked open a crack.
Ling Shi corrected his robes and entered the cave, taking out a jade bottle and presenting it to Qin Sang. "This is a Tianqing Powder refined by this junior, please have a look, Daoist Master."
Inside the jade bottle, there was half a bottle of blue powder.
>
"As a junior disciple, I have always been thinking about the Tianqing Sand. Over the years, I have also accumulated some spiritual objects and added a portion to the Tianqing Powder..."
Ling Shi carefully explained the properties of the medicine to Qin Sang, and then saw Qin Sang open the seal, pouring out half a bottle of Tianqing San. He gently sniffed it and, without any protection, swallowed it whole.
At this scene, Ling Shi was a little stunned.
He prided himself on his mastery of poisons, but he dared not swallow such a potent dose of Tianqing Powder.
Qin Sang swallowed the Tianqing Powder, sat still, and her internal qi and blood began to churn violently.

Losing the Poison Pearl, suppressing the toxins became much more troublesome. However, Qin Sang's cultivation was no longer what it used to be, and he could use his powerful true essence to suppress the toxins in his body.
Firstly, the Sky Blue Powder's toxicity is insufficient. Secondly, Qin Sang only obtained the "Divine Manual of Poisons" up to the Refining Void stage. Its effect on enhancing True Essence is negligible. However, if used solely for body refinement, it's still much faster than normal cultivation.
As Qin Sang's understanding of the Qingluan Dharma Form surpassed his cultivation level, he cultivated it very smoothly without encountering any bottlenecks.
After a long while, Qin Sang lightly exhaled a mouthful of foul air and approvingly said, “Not bad!”
>
The toxicity of the Tianqing Powder was enough to support his cultivation for a period of time.
Qin Sang estimated that relying solely on Tianqing powder was insufficient to cultivate "Heavenly Demon Transformation" to its fifth-layer peak. He instructed Ling Shi not to slack off and promised to gather other spiritual objects in the future to enhance the toxicity of Tianqing powder for Ling Shi.
Ling Shi readily agreed, immediately withdrawing to continue refining the Sky Blue Sand.
In the following days, Qin Sang occasionally received Tianqing San from Ling Xi. The deity entered a new round of cultivation.
>
The Fire Domain.
A lava river.
Three people are walking on the riverbed.
They walked on the riverbed, through the magma, but their steps were swift, faster than horses galloping, and as fast as flying in the sky.
The three of them were all wearing red cloaks, they were the ones who had responded when Qin Sang first activated the copper pillar that year.
And the leader, claiming to be Lord Fei Luo.
>Two hundred years have passed, and they are still tirelessly searching in the fire realm.
It's just that for some reason, what was originally a group of four has now become three, with only Fei Luo, the alluring woman, and the tall man remaining.
They, as always, silently traveled through the magma.
"Wait!"
>
As she walked, a captivating woman suddenly spoke.
Fei Luo stood at the front, stopped his steps, and turned back, "Fei Luo, in another six hundred li ahead, is the Qiyan Lake. There are some cultivating families in Qiyan Lake, rumored to have close ties with the Liuhemen, one of the Three Sects of Fire Domain."
“That is to say, the territory of Liuhemen is just ahead” The tall man interjected.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"Yes," the alluring woman nodded.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Two hundred years have passed, and the tall man has become much more composed. He pondered for a moment and said: “Over the past two hundred years, we have found three sites, but none of them have elicited the kind of reaction that the Yanxin Jade did. This means that at least one more site is hidden and remains undiscovered. Over the years, we have tried our best to avoid the influence of the Three Sects of Fire Domain, but as the scope shrinks, there's no escaping it. Even if it's a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, we must venture in!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The captivating woman looked at Fei Luo, saying, “I didn’t say I was giving up. Otherwise, wouldn't these two hundred years have been wasted I'm worried that the ruins are controlled by the Three Sects of Fire Domain. Although the three of us might not be easily noticed, we are outnumbered. What if we have to fight against the Three Sects of Fire Domain… Should we send a message back to our sect for help first”
When the two were speaking, Fei Luo remained silent. Upon hearing this, he did not respond, only saying, "Go!"
They looked at each other, and could only helplessly follow.
Just as Qin Sang's main body was diligently cultivating, his avatar had, according to Tai Yi's notes, found a second thunder altar that could be repaired.
This thunder altar is hidden deep beneath the lake.
According to the Taiyi description, Lei Tan is often built on mountains and located at high places. It's rare to see Lei Tan built at the bottom of a lake.
This place was probably once a peak, but over time, the high bank and deep valley were buried by lake water and silt.
For this very reason, this Leidan is well-preserved, even better than the one in Leixiaozong.
>
Having had the experience last time, Qin Sang became more and more adept at it, and only took two months to repair the Lei Tan.
He did not wipe away the mud on the surface of the thunder platform, but only concealed it with a prohibition.
Sitting cross-legged on the thunder platform, Qin Sang urged his true essence, trying to sense other thunder platforms.
To my delight, this time it wasn't met with silence. There was a response, and it came from the Lei Tan of the Lei Xiao Zong.
Between the thunder altars, there truly was a connection, even across thousands of miles.
>
At their creation, these thunder talismans were used to construct talismanic formations.
However, when Qin Sang tried to activate the power of the two Thunder Palaces for his own use, he ultimately failed.
It is still impossible to determine the location of the main stage.
"Looks like we still need to repair the third thunder altar," Qin Sang murmured, a flash of Tai Yi's notes crossing his mind.
This was already their fifth Lei Altar they had been searching for, and they finally found one that was usable.
I hope the rest of the temple remains, and that what can be repaired will be.
"Wow!"
Qin Sang broke out of the water.
>
Xiaowu and Zhuque were playing by the lake, while Luohou was lying on the grass, getting used to his new body.
Only Tai Yi diligently protected him.
Seeing Qin Sang come out, Zhu Que chirped and turned to run, but was held in place by Qin Sang with a wave of his hand, becoming a faithful mount.
Things are divided into primary and secondary, the most important thing now is to find the main altar. They ride on the Zhuque (Vermilion Bird) and fly nonstop along the way, visiting each one by one.
They first headed northwest, reaching the border between Mt. Duskfall and the Fire Realm. According to what Tai'yi had gathered, this was very likely the edge of the Lei Tan.
Then, they continued their search southward along the border of Duskfall Mountain, finally reaching the waters where Lake Li is located. Continuing south, they found no more Thunder Platforms.
Qin Sang therefore judged that the area where Lei Tan was located was very likely to coincide with the mortal realm. Whether it was a coincidence or there was another mystery, he didn't know.
Unable to repair these traps for the time being, Qin Sang could only record them one by one and continue searching eastward.
"This is the sixteenth one. If the Lei Tan truly covers the entire mortal realm, these probably aren't even a quarter of the total number. What an enormous scale! It wouldn't be this elaborate just for practicing methods. It seems like the master of the Lei Tan really wants to establish a place of healing here..."
>
Qin Sang secretly sighed, lightly patted Zhuque, concealed his breath, and cast his gaze toward a mountain ahead.
This mountain is towering and stands out from the surrounding landscape.
From the middle of the mountain, the terrain was straight up and down. Monkeys dared not climb it, nor could birds fly over.
On the sheer cliff face, a few hardy pines and ancient cypresses stubbornly grew, serving as embellishments.
They landed on the peak, Qin Sang untied the restraints on Zhuque. Zhuque immediately transformed back into its true form, muttering something softly in its mouth.
“My lord, no one has touched my prohibition.”
The Thunder Altar was built in a concealed crevice. Taishang examined it carefully and replied respectfully.
Qin Sang stepped forward and sized up the Thunder Altar before him. His eyes gradually brightened.
This Thunder Altar looks severely damaged, worse than the previous ones. However, Qin Sang noticed that the main structural framework of the altar is still intact, offering hope for its restoration.
>
"This is it!"
Qin Sang immediately made a decision, "Tai Yi, you go around and see if there are any sect forces nearby."
“Yes!”
Taite leads the order and departs.
Zhuque, not having been given permission, was even more disgruntled. Unwillingly realizing she wasn't Qin Sang's match, she could only flit around Xiao Wu, venting her resentment with huffs and puffs.
It was sunrise.
The morning mist hadn't dissipated, and the sun in the east was blushing with a fiery dawn.
Qin Sang was busy by the thunder platform.
Xiaowu sat on the edge of the cliff, her small hand pressed against the edge of the stone, staring blankly at the sunrise and the vast expanse of heaven and earth. Her white, tender legs swung back and forth outside the cliff.
Vermilion Bird was also intoxicated by the beautiful scenery. She leaned against Little Five,難得 quiet down, quietly appreciating it.
The sun has come out completely.
Zhu Que yawned, her head turned, her gaze swept across the mountains below, and suddenly stopped.
It seemed to be drawn by something, tilting its head and looking for a long while. It stretched its wings and poked Little Five, pointing down the mountain, "Look! Look!"
