Chapter 1735: White Chess

thout looking back. After the two of them left, Qin Sang recalled the Sha Shi who was hiding in the dark.>The Thousand Machine Sword Formation, working in tandem with the Corpse Demon, firmly restrain...People talked and flew at the same time.

Bai Lu Zhenren led the Lan Dou Men disciples and flew together. The spirit bird honestly followed behind them.

Bai Lu Zhenren still praised, "Qin Dao Youhao's mastery of the breath-concealing technique is admirable. I wonder where he learned it from"

Bao Zhengnan glanced at Qin Sang, seeing that he seemed lost in thought and made no effort to conceal his identity. He then transmitted a voice message to Bai Lu Zhenren, reminding him of something.

Please note that I removed the extra " > " from your input as they are not part of the content to be translated.

He was on good terms with Bai Lu Zhenren and didn't want to see him offend the True Monarch out of ignorance. After all, Qin Sang would have to appear at Tianxing Island anyway.

A simple sentence, reaching Bai Lu's ears, was like a bolt from the blue.

Bai Lu Zhenren was greatly shocked and dismayed.

Other disciples of the Lan sect were surprised and puzzled to see their usually calm Sect Leader displaying such an expression.

“Greetings, elders…”

After all, he was a distinguished figure. Bai Lu's true heart calmed slightly, and he hurriedly bowed in greeting.

Qin Sang waved his hand to stop Bai Lu Zhenren from bowing. He said to Bao Zhengnan and the other three, "I remember something, I have to leave for a few days and it's inconvenient to travel with you all."

Bao Xi was astonished and asked, "Daoist Qin, what is the matter You may have the disciples of Sisheng Palace do it for you."

Here is your text translated into English:

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang shook his head, "This is a personal matter of mine. It's not good to ask others for help. Daoist friend, rest assured, Qin will be back soon and won't delay the important matters."

Seeing Qin Sang's resolute decision, Bao Zhengnan and the others stopped talking further. They probably thought that with Qin Sang's cultivation level, he could come and go freely anywhere in Canglang Sea.

Bao Zhengnan glanced at Bai Lu Zhenren, thinking of Qin Sang's strange enthusiasm when he saw him, and vaguely guessed something.

As expected, Qin Sang then addressed Bai Lu Zhenren and said, “Bai Lu Sect Master, Qin wishes to visit Yang Senior Brother. Could you please introduce me”

Bai Lu Zhenren would never refuse a reasonable request.

Qin Sang paid his respects and, together with Bai Lu Zhenren, rode the wind away.

Bidding farewell to the crowd, Qin Sang and his companion journeyed northwest.

Without the guidance of Bai Lu Zhenren, Qin Sang still remembered the location of Lan Dou Island.

Seeing Bai Lu's anxious expression, Qin Sang took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him, learning about the changes on Lan Dou Island over the years.

When the Yao Hai Demon Clan invaded Cang Lang Sea, it caused chaos and unrest. The human and Wu Clan united forces and stationed themselves on Tian Xing Island to fight against the demon clan, battling fiercely to defend against the invaders.

The main islands in the eastern sea area have been largely occupied by demonic clans, reduced to ruins. Cultivators are displaced and scattered.

Lan Dou Island has Lan Dou Gate stationed there, and it can resist attacks from the demon clan. The island's terrain is similar to what Qin Sang saw when he first arrived hundreds of years ago, but the overall situation has changed greatly.

Qin Sang once used the "Zhenyuan Motai" technique to refine a clone, almost joining a sect called Yan Miao Pavilion, which no longer exists today.

It is said that Yānmǐu Ge suffered heavy casualties in a demon riot and was even unable to maintain its mountain gate. Lán Dòu Mén stepped forward, allowing Yānmǐu Ge and another sect equally heavily damaged to merge, renaming it Yān yún hú.

He also learned the whereabouts of a distant relative because of this.

When he became a disciple of the Lan Dou Sect, he made friends with a female cultivator named Fang Ting. This woman was exceptionally talented and lived up to expectations, already at the Yuan Ying stage of cultivation. Under her rule, Yunmeng Lake prospered, but she did not change her name back to Yan Miao Pavilion.

Qin Sang did not fly directly into Landou Island. He first went to Dongming Island, near Landou Island.

That half of the Star Platform was originally stored in the Lei Pond on Dongming Island. Back then, when the Hei She Shan cultivators rampaged through Dongming Island, Qin Sang took the opportunity to seize the Star Platform.

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

The aftershocks of that storm still resonate today. The eruption of the thunder plasma in the Thunder Pool nearly destroyed Cavebright Island.

After this, the spiritual veins on the island were severely damaged and could only be used as a medicine field to cultivate inferior spiritual herbs. Nowadays, the disciples of Lan Dou Gate only have very few who have heard from their masters about the Dong Ming Island Dharma Assembly, knowing that this inconspicuous little island was once a secret island jointly controlled by various factions, with immense status.

Qin Sang entered Dongming Island and easily found a huge sky pit, so deep that it was impossible to see the bottom. An uninformed person might think it was formed by the impact of an underground volcanic eruption.

All traces were obliterated by the explosion. Qin Sang activated his divine sense and scanned several times, but he found no valuable information.

"Bai Lu Zhenren was confused and cautiously said, 'Master True One, what are you looking for'"

"On this island, there was once a Thunder Pool. Inside the Thunder Pool lay a stone platform. Your esteemed party should obtain a secret art from there, called the 'Art of Subduing Thunder'..."

Qin Sang revealed the secret from six hundred years ago, as if he were a firsthand witness.

He spoke calmly, but Bai Lu Zhenren's face changed several times, filled with surprise and uncertainty. "Master True One, why do you know so much about the secrets of our sect"

"That stone platform is now in my possession."

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

Qin Sang said calmly, but did not explain the origin of the stone platform, and asked, "Besides that door to the 'Yulei Sutra', has your sect obtained anything else from the Thunder Pool"

Bai Lu Zhenren's heart flashed with various speculations, shaking his head and replying: "Only this one secret art has caused great turmoil within the sect. Since True Monarch knows the 'Technique of Subduing Thunder,' he should also know about the incident at Dou Niu Peak that year. The 'Technique of Subduing Thunder' has been kept hidden away by our sect to this day. If True Monarch is interested, just return to the mountain and I will present it to him..."

As they spoke, they entered the Lan Dou Island and flew straight toward the gate of the Lan Dou Mountain Gate.

A familiar scene came into view, triggering memories of the past.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Bai Lu Zhenren asked Qin Sang to sit in the headmaster's hall and ordered his disciples to serve tea. He personally went to call Yang, his junior brother.

Qin Sang raised the spirit tea and took a sip, then he sensed two presences flying over. Afterward, Bai Lu Zhenren and a thin Taoist priest walked in.

"It's him!"

Qin Sang recognized at a glance that the thin, wizened Daoist was the same Daoist boy who had served by Hua Yang Lao Dao's side back then. Time had passed, and this person had become a Yuan Ying cultivator, his temperament and physique drastically changed. One could still faintly recognize his features.

Elder Yang, apparently having been reminded by Master Bai Lu, behaved respectfully and quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Lord Qin, do you recognize the junior"

Looking at Qin Sang, Yang Zuo was full of confusion. He was sure he had never seen this person before.

Qin Sang stood up, his palm brushing across his face, transforming into another youthful and naive visage. He sighed softly, "Master Yang, do you remember your disciple Zhang Yue"

Master Yang's eyes widened, and he froze in place.

"You...you..."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

He was rarely at such a loss for words, pointing at Qin Sang with wide eyes.

For hundreds of years, countless disciples have entered the Yin Yang lineage, but Grandmaster Yang always remembered this person.

Zhang Yue, this son, was born with the four spiritual roots. In the eyes of other cultivators, his path to immortality seemed hopeless. However, he was surprisingly gifted in cultivating the Yin Yang Celestial Combat Secret Art and was thus exceptionally received as a true disciple despite the exception.

The transmission ceremony was still presided over by him personally, and he also introduced his first true disciple.

>

After the great chaos, Zhang Yue disappeared. He was very saddened by this. The sect suspected him and investigated thoroughly, but in the end, nothing came of it.

A flash of light passed, Qin Sang restored to his true form and turned to the white-robed Elder Bai Lu who stood there dumbfounded. “This humble cultivator has a matter to discuss with Master Yang,” he said.

>

Only then did Bai Lu realize what was happening, so he politely excused himself. Before leaving, he gave Qin Sang a jade slip.

His divine consciousness swept over, and the jade slip contained precisely "The Art of Summoning Lightning," identical to what he had obtained. That year, this formidable lightning technique, once so powerful, had gradually become inadequate for his needs.

It seems that Lan Dou Men is unaware of this. To find out the origins of the Star Platform, I can only go to the Witch God Continent.

After casually putting away the jade slips, Qin Sang extended his hand and turned the tables. “I am Zhang Yue, yet I am not Zhang Yue. Seat Yang has shown me great kindness in passing down teachings.”

Master Yang sat down according to his words, staring at Qin Sang intently. He had a vague guess about what happened that year, but found it hard to accept. His old friend had transformed into a Divine Transformation True Monarch!

Regardless of what Grand Master Yang is thinking, Qin Sang took out an object on his own. "Grand Master Yang, please look at this jade."

This is the end of the paragraph.

He took out the jade that he had obtained from the Lang Huan Jade Pavilion.

As soon as Yang, the esteemed master, took out the jade, he felt a sense of wonder and surprise, his face etched with astonishment.

"This jade was obtained by this poor Daoist by chance. If it weren't for the fact that this poor Daoist had once practiced Yin-Yang Jia, I would have missed it. Unfortunately, there is nothing peculiar about this jade in my hands. Master Yang, could you see anything different"

As he spoke, he directly handed the jade to Yang Zuozuo.

>

Master Yang hesitated slightly, reached out to take it, examined it in his hand for a moment, apologized, closed his eyes, and silently circulated his inner energy.

The next moment, Yang Zuozhang's aura shifted drastically, and the yin-yang energy within him surged.

In Qin Sang's eyes, the entire person and the aura that influenced a square meter around him seemed to be divided between yin and yang, quite extraordinary.

The yin and yang energies converged in his palm, black and white distinct, supporting the clumsy jade, and thread by thread seeping into it.

It was disappointing that no matter how much yin and yang energy was injected, it was like a stone sinking into the sea; the rough jade remained unresponsive.

After an incense stick.

Yang Shuzza finished his cultivation and smiled wryly: "I can feel that this jade is deeply connected to our sect's techniques, but no matter how hard I try, I cannot discern its mysteries. True Master should still remember that the originally only had one layer. Our ancestor Yin Yang Daoist realized the principles of yin and yang and supplemented the technique, giving rise to our Yin Yang lineage. However, what later generations added, while not entirely deviating from the original, is definitely significantly different."

Qin Sang silently nodded.

Yang Zuozun glanced at Zhuyu, feeling quite reluctant. "In my perception, it's only slightly clearer than the true monarch's. The mystery lies within Zhuyu's core. If you cultivate the *Yin-Yang Heavenly Battle Secret Art* truly, you may start here and comprehend the divine abilities of this jade."

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

Qin Sang pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Yang, could you allow me to take a look at your martial arts"

> Watching someone else's true transmission, this request is a bit too much.

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

To everyone's surprise, Master Yang readily agreed.

Qin Sang was startled.

Yang Shuzza flicked his finger, sending out a streak of light. He looked at Qin Sang with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "The ancestor Yin Yang Daoist was a prodigy, pushing the boundaries of the fragmented scroll and cultivating to the peak of the Yuan Ying mid-stage realm. Ultimately, he stopped there, unable to break through for the rest of his life. Subsequent generations were not as talented, none achieving such a feat. The realms that followed remain blank, and..."

Yang, the seat's expression turned ashamed. "We are not as gifted as our ancestors. After forming a Nascent Soul, we felt that cultivation was full of difficulties and it was extremely difficult to advance to the middle stage. It must be due to flaws in the technique. However, it is not an easy task to deduce the techniques. Yang believes he does not have this ability, nor can other Nascent Soul cultivators do so. The True Monarch's magical powers are profound, perhaps..."

Saying that, he looked at Qin Sang with a hint of anticipation. It's not easy to find a cultivator who has achieved the Nascent Soul stage, and it was rare for Qin Sang to be interested in this kind of cultivation technique.

Qin Sang's divine sense probed into the flowing light, and the complete "Yin Yang Heavenly Combat Art" appeared in his mind.

Master Yang continuously explained, helping him to contemplate.

In such a short time, even Qin Sang's cultivation base found it difficult to fully comprehend. However, Qin Sang's path of cultivation was different from others, and he actually saw something. He let out a surprised sigh and said, "This shouldn't be a specialized magic cultivation technique"

Yang Shuzza's eyes lit up, he couldn't help but bow slightly, his face full of admiration. "The True Master has sharp eyes, just like the ancestor back then. He also had this feeling, but unfortunately, he was unable to achieve it."

The first layer of the is complete.

According to Taoist alchemists, this practice allows one to inhale and exhale yin and yang energy, refining qi and achieving profound enlightenment through cultivation.

But don't forget, the first step of 《YinYang Heavenly Combat Secret Art》 is to refine Yin-Yang Armor in one's Yuanshen.

Qin Sang was barely considered to have cultivated his spirit, qi, and essence. He sensed the profound mysteries within it. The original version of the method was definitely not a single lineage of cultivation. It was most likely a path of dual cultivation of spiritual and physical arts, mutually verifying yin and yang, perhaps even more complex.

The Ghost Mother once said that practitioners in the world can be roughly divided into three categories based on their essence, energy, and spirit. However, there are also those who do not belong to these three paths or those who integrate them all.

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

The original method, Qin Sang didn't dare to meddle with. The parts that the Yin-Yang Daoist had comprehended were purely the path of refining Qi, and he could still see some of its principles.

After an hour, Qin Sang withdrew her mind and pointed out a place that needed improvement, causing Yang zuozhang to be overjoyed.

Looking at Yang Zuo's delighted face, Qin Sang suddenly said, "When the Yin-Yang Daoist received the cultivation method, was there anything else around him"

Yang, the first seat, narrowed his eyes and his smile faded.

The Yin-Yang Daoist did not explicitly state how he obtained the , but he left behind a treasure related to the technique, mentioning that he used it to comprehend the subsequent techniques. Unfortunately, he was unable to fully grasp the mysteries of this treasure and it only served as a guide before the Golden Core stage. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the techniques were entirely derived through the Yin-Yang Daoist's own innate talent.

This treasure is a white chess piece.

>

He was inwardly shocked, though he knew that cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage were powerful, he didn't expect them to be able to guess it just based on their techniques.

After a moment's hesitation, Master Yang said, "Yes! But this object is like the jade I possess. It is a divine object that conceals its mysteries, and all our ancestral masters have been unable to fathom its intricacies. Even our ancestors who were skilled in Yin-Yang Daoism only grasped a superficial understanding."

He took out the white pieces.

The chess pieces are pure white, smooth and lustrous, much like the ordinary ones.

Qin Sang held the white jade chess piece in his hand, its surface cool to the touch. Following Yang Zuozu's instructions, he used his spiritual sense to probe the white chess piece, eliciting a faint white light, but nothing more. Even in Qin Sang's hands, it did not display any further wonders.

Yang Shuzza gritted his teeth, “If the True Monarch can help me restore the Yin-Yang One Pulse technique, I am willing to give this treasure to the True Monarch!”

Qin Sang glanced at him and shook his head slightly, "I can help you improve the existing parts, but continuing the cultivation technique is extremely difficult. Unless I revise the 'Yin Yang Heaven Dou Secret Art,' it will require enormous effort and there's no guarantee of success."

He has so many things to do and can't be distracted.

Yang, the master, was full of disappointment.

Unexpectedly, Qin Sang's tone changed: "You can contemplate this yourselves. The Yin-Yang Dao cultivators of the past were too extreme in their choices. Their cultivation methods would affect one's primordial spirit, which is one reason you feel stuck. I will help you perfect your technique and give you a gift as well. There should be another opportunity for you to break through..."

Saying that, Qin Sang took out a spirit-calming incense and sent the formula along with it.

Even with the best Yin-Yang incense formula, the Yin-Yang lineage wouldn't be able to refine it. This is better instead.

Of course, he was going to take this white piece.

Qin Sang held a white chess piece in his right hand, a鎮靈香 (spirit calming incense) and the recipe in his left.

Yang, the esteemed master, caught a whiff of the Rejuvenating Spirit Incense's fragrance and immediately felt his spirit clear and invigorated. He was greatly astonished. He looked around carefully, weighing his options for a long time before finally deciding to accept both the Rejuvenating Spirit Incense and its formula.

With this recipe, even if he can't do it, future generations will have great hope.

>

"Comprehending the techniques still takes some time. Lord Yang, why not accompany me to Tianxing Island for exchange and verification"

Qin Sang's suggestion.

The Lord Yang is beyond reproach.

Not long after, the three of them flew out of Lan Dou Island.

(The End)all of lightning suddenly plummeted downwards, pointing towards the ground.>“Sure enough, it’s here!”When the Falcon Demon saw this, he was overjoyed and said with a smug smile, "I've felt it for a lo...
