Chapter 641: The Path of Divine Runes Ends

received the sealed letter and read it carefully, pondering for a long time.Please note: The HTML tags themselves are not translated. I only translate the content within them. Let me know if you have..."At most, a Qi Refinement disciple can consume limited resources. It's acceptable to nurture him secretly. Back then, there were so many Saintesses in the Winged Viper Village, and Qin Lao Gui chose Mute Girl specifically. Perhaps, she will be the link between us and Qin Lao Gui."

Cui Xuanzi waved his hand, letting Tong, his younger brother, retreat.

The secret chamber was silent and dim. Cui Xuanzi summoned his soul-bound insect, a scorpion the size of his palm.

The deadly scorpion is pure white, its skin smooth and warm, like it was carved from jade. However, the stinger at its tail tip flickers in and out of sight, almost unreal.

This is the Phantom-tailed Scorpion, one of the five insects best cultivated by the Wu Chongmen.

Cui Xuanzi gently stroked the Phantom-Tailed Poisonous Scorpion. In a moment, another, smaller Phantom-Tailed Poisonous Scorpion crawled out from its abdomen and rubbed against his fingertip, showing unusual affection.

This one's aura is simply too weak, only at the peak of the First Transformation.

Looking at the two scorpions, big and small, Cui Xuanzi let out a soft sigh.

These two venomous scorpions are his soul-bound poisonous insects.

Back then, when Cui Xuanzi used the blood refining technique to refine her natal worm gu, she discovered that there were two twin larvae in the egg.

There are two ways to deal with blood-cultivated insects and insect poisons.

One is the adult stage, after blood refinement, no matter how high the previous realm was, it would regress to a larval egg.

This success rate is low because the adult insects will strongly resist, and the stronger they are, the more violent their resistance. Monks can only rely on their own strength to suppress the spirit worms. If the strength of the spirit worm exceeds that of the monk, it will be impossible to succeed.

But there is one benefit: after refining this life-consuming insect, it will be easier to transform again.

The second type is to directly use young eggs, which is the choice of the vast majority of people.

If one chooses to refine a young larva, cases of twins or multiple births are not uncommon. One must select the strongest among them and abandon the rest, after all, a natal worm can only have one host.

But Cui Xuanzi didn't know why, she actually foolishly refined both phantom-tailed venomous scorpions into her lifebound worm gu, possessing twin worm gu.

This thrilled him, after all his talent wasn't particularly high. Having two natal insect poisons was a good thing, though they were more difficult to cultivate, it was equivalent to having twice the combat strength.

He knew well that he was special and couldn't let it be known, so he never showed it in front of others. Only his master knew about it.

During the Qi Refining period, Cui Xuanzi relied on her two natal insect Gu worms, whose combat power was extremely high. She made great achievements time and time again, receiving key training from her sect and quickly successfully built her foundation.

>

To his surprise, after he had established his foundation and tried to improve the cultivation of his natal insects, he found that one insect successfully underwent metamorphosis, while the other was stuck in its growth, unable to begin its second transformation.

Cui Xuanzi never gave up, piling countless resources on it, but it still had no effect.

Finally, he had to admit that this phantom-tailed scorpion had completely lost its potential for metamorphosis, perhaps this was the price of the twin insect pest.

Now, the second worm gu is like a piece of chicken rib; it's becoming increasingly useless, and it's a pity to discard it.

Between thousands of mountains and ravines, poison miasma spreads everywhere, with few human traces. Yet, a figure effortlessly passes through the poisonous miasma and jungle, more agile than a bird.

"This is it."

Qin Sang fell onto a rock and raised his head to look at the mountains ahead.

On the peak of the mountain, clouds form a ring-shaped barrier, blocking the summit and never dispersing.

It is said that there is an ancient temple on the mountain, and some people have received inheritances inside.

At this time, Qin Sang had been away from the Xiong Shan region for nearly two months. It had already been more than half a year since he first awoke after drifting on the water's surface.

Over the past two months, Qin Sang has left the Xiong Shan region and scoured every dangerous and secret place nearby.

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

Besides one dangerous and perilous spot, he wasn't daring to go too deep just yet. As for the rumors that the Wu Chong Men had gathered, whether they were true or mere hearsay, Qin Sang had investigated every single one of them.

The mountain in front of us is the last one.

>No trace of the ancient teleportation array has ever been found.

At that dangerous location, even though Qin Sang didn't reach the core, he could still tell something. The possibility of an ancient teleportation array was extremely low.

There were still some gains. Qin Sang picked a few spirit herbs that could be used by Foundation Establishment cultivators, so the trip wasn't entirely in vain.

"If there's nothing here either, then let it be for now. Let's head to the heartland of Xizhang and seek out insects."

Qin Sang murmured to himself, making a decision. "I wonder how the Wu Chong Men are doing After selecting their natal insect Gu, they will return to the Xiong Shan region and then leave the Western Regions. Going outside to cultivate while inquiring about Senior Qing Zhu's whereabouts is not a bad idea. Senior Qing Zhu's talent is so high, even surpassing Hao Yue, surely there must be some trace of him"

Qin Sang's foot landed lightly, like a falcon spreading its wings, and he leaped toward the opposite mountain peak.

"It seems to be a unique taboo of the Witch Clan. If I knew the Witch Clan's divine script, breaking these wind and cloud barriers should be much easier."

Qin Sang stood there out of thin air, staring at the ring of clouds, pondering a way to break it.

He now has a deep understanding of the Wuzhu clan, and his doubts about the divine script have finally been resolved.

The talismans of the Wu Clan cultivators are at most only slightly weaker than the peak spells of the Qi Refining period. They are only useful in the Qi Refining period and the early stages of Foundation Establishment. After that, they become ineffective.

And very thorough!

Throughout the entire Witch Clan, countless prodigies have dedicated their lives to studying divine patterns, attempting to find a continuation, to reconstruct the Witch Clan's divine pattern path. Even Nascent Soul ancestors failed in their endeavors.

After the foundation building stage, a Wuzhu cultivator can only give up on divine patterns.

Even those disciples of sects, who considered themselves to have a bright future, wouldn't cultivate divine patterns during the Qi Refining Stage, lest they waste time.

Qin Sang had always felt that Shen Wen, as a unique power possessed by the Wu tribe, was extremely compatible with their bloodline and might even be more authentic than their natal worm gu.

Now it seems that many of the witch clan's elders also had ideas similar to Qin Sang's.

It's a pity, the road is broken.

Summoning the Flying Head Demon to stand guard, Qin Sang took out the Ten Directions Netherworld Banner. The three banners formed an array, and the Nine Nether Demonic Fire gathered into a ball of fire. Then, he hurled it towards Yun Huan.

'Boom!'

>

Black flames surged into the cloud ring, like a drop of ink falling on white paper, quickly spreading out.

Above the turbulent vortex, where Nine Nether Demon Flames raged, clouds vanished rapidly, becoming extremely thin.

Fei Tian Ya and Qin Sang entered the clouds one after another, and soon saw the ancient temple on the summit bathed in sunlight, shimmering with gold.

After an hour, Qin Sang shook her head and left the ancient hall.

This place has probably been visited countless times, all the treasures have long been looted, and it's surprisingly clean inside.

Once again returning empty-handed, Qin Sang officially entered the depths of Xijang and embarked on a journey to find the insects.

One month later.

In the middle of a vast expanse of wasteland, the weeds were as tall as a man.

Qin Sang, holding a map of geomancy, had been searching for days in the desolate wasteland for the entrance to a subterranean cave.

On the feng shui map, the spirit insect's nest is only roughly marked. Many times, people have seen these spirit insects in the vicinity and then marked a rough range without actually seeing the nest with their own eyes.

> And as time passed, the landforms changed.

To find the exact location, it still takes some effort.
