Chapter 234: Picking Up the Leak

your mind and cultivate patiently. If you can truly nurture a trace of true qi in your dantian, your martial arts will definitely reach new heights. And this set of Shadowless Steps, because Brother...But this does not mean that the firebirds are weak. Their greatest ability is their strange cries, which carry a kind of strange sound wave that can shock the soul. Qin Sang wasn't afraid, but that doesn't mean other cultivators could be as calm as he was.

Moreover, who knows how many firebirds lurk within the boundless mist

To be attacked by tens of thousands of firebirds at the same time, just thinking about it is terrifying.

As soon as Qin Sang had this thought, he suddenly found that the surrounding mist began to become unstable, churning and rolling. Then, countless red dots appeared in the depths of the mist, quickly dyeing the entire mist red!

These specks resembled red eyes, appearing everywhere - above, below, left and right. The gusting wind whipped up the mist, carrying scorching breath that slammed against the stone slab. Those 'eyes' were either drawn by the firebird's cries or startled by Qin Sang's energy fluctuations, rapidly approaching him.

Qin Sang felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

As he had imagined, countless Fire Spirit Beasts were hidden in the mist. If they were all firebirds, it would be fine, but if there were other capable Fire Spirit Beasts, being besieged by so many Fire Spirit Beasts, his ending would certainly be very miserable!

Seeing this, Qin Sang didn't dare to stay put. All he could think was, get out of here quickly!

'Hum!'

The ebony wood split into an array, sword energy suddenly erupting, cleaving a fiery path through the firebird's assault.

Qin Sang stepped on the iron cable, his figure bursting out. The moment he moved, the fire spirit beast in the depths of the mist was already here, and the bird calls became dozens or hundreds of times sharper.

The intermittent cries crashed through the mist, forming visible sound waves. These waves, layered upon each other, resembled a violent storm surge, their power utterly terrifying.

The center of their impact was precisely where Qin Sang stood.

While fleeing, Qin Sang swept his eyes around in the midst of chaos. They were all identical firebirds!

There are no other fire spirits.

Unexpectedly, the faster Qin Sang moved, the more firebirds he attracted. Soon, he was surrounded by countless firebirds. Even with his烏木劍 and 十方閻羅幡, he couldn't kill them all.

That eerie sound was deafening, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, making my head spin.

Qin Sang's primordial spirit was unperturbed, but he couldn't bear the disturbance any longer. Suddenly, he realized that these firebirds could sense his spiritual fluctuations and even using divine consciousness would be detected.

Thinking about this, Qin Sang couldn't help but feel a chill for the others. Encountering an attack by firebirds, with their primordial spirits being assaulted by sound waves, they would inevitably have to resist. Once they made a move, it would attract even more firebirds.

When the firebirds were numerous, the nascent souls of Foundation Establishment cultivators were severely injured by sound waves, and the trial failed.

This is a dead end, you can only endure the attacks of the Firebird and rush towards the end of the iron cable without looking back, passing this trial at the fastest speed.

At that moment, Qin Sang suddenly retracted his Ebony Sword and the Ten Directions Yama Banner, then vanished with a flash of his figure.

The cries of the phoenixes began to carry a note of uncertainty, and more forceful sound waves crashed against where Qin Sang had vanished. Wave after wave of firestorms were caught in the sound waves, but they still couldn't bring the intruder out.

In the end, these firebirds left empty-handed, their doubts swirling around them.

At this time, Qin Sang was quietly standing in front of the firebird flock. He had already found a way to pass this level.

Thanks to the Jade Buddha, countless firebirds in the mist were unceasingly calling out. No matter where he stood, he would be struck by their sound waves, but he was unafraid.

Seeing the flock of firebirds disperse, Qin Sang walked forward calmly. From time to time, he would see groups of firebirds whooshing in and out.

So, all the opponents in this trial are firebirds

Qin Sang's heart moved, her feet stopped abruptly on the iron cable. She lowered her head to look at the lava river below, a thoughtful expression appearing on her face.

Dating back millennia, this ancient immortal residence was once occupied by the Demon Sect for a period of time. Unless it were kept as a forbidden secret by a certain sect, countless demonic cultivators would have certainly visited it.

Just now, he had heard Che Yu-tao say that the restrictions encountered in the Foundation Establishment and Nascent Soul stages were different, so the trials they faced were very likely to be different as well.

During the foundation building stage, cultivators can only rely on their own strength to pass the trials and cannot receive help from their sect elders.

Of course, perhaps we could collaborate with others.

Twenty-seven people entered the stone tablet together. Qin Sang hadn't met any companions until now, but this place was extremely vast, and perhaps there were many similar stone tablets existing, just too far apart to encounter each other.

It's still too early to say, and it needs to be verified.

In this kind of space, it's probably not easy to join forces. If you're not careful, you might startle the firebird. Once you make a move, you'll attract even more firebirds. Waiting for other companions to contact you on the spot is the only way out.

In this way, there will certainly be cultivators who cannot pass the trials and fall here.

In the corridor, Qin Sang had determined that the trials held absolutely no mercy. If he made a mistake, he would surely be killed by the golden armored god general, and this place would be no exception.

Fail the trial, you die!

Would there be any bones of fallen cultivators, and... magic weapons, down below

From above, the magma river appears as a red line, indicating that there are boundaries and it is not a sea of lava. Cultivators' corpses falling into the magma would definitely be turned to ashes. If they fell onto the shore, perhaps white bones might still exist...

Unless someone can be like Qin Sang, fearless of the sonic attacks, and go down to scavenge thoroughly, then it is very likely that there are treasures beneath.

Qin Sang's heart pounded.

This battle happened to be against a Firebird, whose abilities were restrained by the Jade Buddha. I didn't need to rush out of there at all.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

After exiting the passage, Qin Sang did not find any signs of a time limit. As long as he wasn't killed by the firebird, he shouldn't be considered to have failed the challenge.

Even if we get kicked out for exceeding the time limit, if we can find some remains of demon cultivators on the banks of the Lava River and loot their belongings, this trip won't be in vain, getting kicked out would be worth it.

After all, there's no danger at all, it's completely free.

Entering the ancient ruins of a cultivator's residence, you will face many unknown dangers. Moreover, it has already been ransacked by demonic cultivators, so there may not be much to gain.

It took him twenty years to bring the Four Poles Ten Directions Yama Banner to its peak. As the black market's supply of magical artifacts dwindled, it seemed impossible to elevate the remaining two poles.

If you could find a suitable soul-refining magic artifact here, how much time and effort would it save

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the trials that follow certainly won't be limited to this type of firebird.

Che Yu-tao said that the ancient fairy's residence would undergo a change, and whether he could enter again was unknown. If this opportunity wasn't seized, there might not be another chance in the future.

After a moment's hesitation, Qin Sang made his decision immediately. He lightly tapped the iron cable with his toes and instead of going down directly, he slowly flew upward.

As Qin Sang flew upwards, he clearly felt the pressure on his body increasing. When he reached a height of several dozen feet, the weight was already terrifying, making it hard for him to breathe.nd the peaks of the mountains. It was unclear how high these four mountains truly were. This kind of mist did not resemble natural clouds, but rather looked similar to the fog in a trial space.At the...
