Chapter 738: Parting

However, facing an increasingly massive beast tide, they were ultimately overwhelmed and had to retreat.
Upon returning to Tǔyuán Island, it became apparent that cultivators on the other islands had also noticed the anomaly and had already evacuated. Now, almost all the cultivators from Wǔyuán Island are concentrated on Tǔyuán Island.
But after witnessing the terrifying scene on Mokuyuan Island, the cultivators had lost their confidence in stopping the beast horde. After much deliberation, they decided to painfully retreat.

Qin Sang looked back at this place where he had lived for over twenty years, feeling a lot of emotion.
In the Sea of Demons, it's common for small islands like this to be discovered and occupied by cultivators, only to be reclaimed by demon beasts.
Such an island, although lacking the presence of a Yuan Ying ancestor master, offers more opportunities. Some fall to their demise while others seize their chance and rise to great heights.
Leaving Wuyuan Island, many cultivators were filled with sadness and reluctance.
“Master Dao, I just heard Yuan San Zhenren and the others discussing that after leaving this sea area, they want to find another place to rebuild Wu Yuan Island. What do you think, Master Dao Should we join them”
On the way out, the Wang sisters settled their subordinates and came to inquire about Qin Sang's plans.
Rebuilding the Five Elements Island isn't just a matter of words. It takes finding an island with spiritual veins, capable of supporting so many cultivators. The nearby demonic beasts also can't be too powerful, or else history will repeat itself.
But the Wu Yuan Dao cultivators were all battle-hardened veterans. Master Yuan San and his companions had enough charisma to rally many people.

Not long ago, Yuan Sanzhen had already asked Qin Sang for his opinion and was politely declined.

Qin Sang shook his head and said, "I just broke through not long ago and haven't had time to consolidate my cultivation. Besides, the Qisha Hall will open in five years, and during this time, I plan to travel around. I'm afraid I won't have the energy to participate in the rebuilding of Wuyuan Island. If you sisters want to stay, it's fine too. You both broke through to the Jindan stage early on, and you can take care of yourselves. Staying by my side would be a burden for you. I can write a letter to Old Zou and help you get support from the Chamber of Commerce."
This decision was one he had made long ago.
In just five years, it's difficult to see significant results by solely relying on ascetic practices to improve one's strength. It would be more beneficial to travel widely. On one hand, it allows for broadened horizons and experiences. On the other hand, Qin Sang himself has many issues that urgently need addressing and requires information gathering through exploration.
Having been sent to the Canglang Sea Region, Qin Sang traveled from the western border of the Wushen Continent to Wushen Mountain, then to Duyan Island, Huntian Island, and Wuyuan Island. Besides traveling and cultivating diligently, he hadn't taken a good look at this world.
He also had several problems troubling him.
The first is that I was never able to revive the mute woman.
Qin Sang cultivated diligently hunting demons and practicing martial arts. He didn't forget to collect information about the corpse demon path of the human and witch clans through the channels of the Qiong Yu Merchant Guild. He was even willing to pay any price, as long as it was related to cultivation techniques and secret arts, he would buy them all down in hopes of learning from them and deciphering the Heavenly Corpse Talisman to awaken the mute girl.

Unfortunately, the Shinigami Secret Arts circulating outside are either very superficial and bland, or meaningless fragments, or extremely bold and crazy, obviously fabricated and unrealistic.
...so far, no solution has been found.
The good news is that Ya Gu's soul essence is very stable. Although it has been decades, it has not fallen into darkness.
Perhaps it was the jade's influence, or maybe the silkworm's presence that strengthened her spiritual energy, helping her maintain a connection with the mortal world. Or perhaps it was both.
As the silkworm grows, this connection will become increasingly solid. As long as the mute woman can with great willpower hold onto this connection and not lose herself, she will be able to win more time.
By collecting these secret techniques, Qin Sang would also benefit himself.
His cultivation level will grow stronger and stronger, but the Corpse Pill and Flying Sky Asura will become less and less effective as they cannot be upgraded. Eventually, they will become useless.
These two are both products of the Necromancy secret art, The Heavenly Yin Corpse Scripture. Qin Sang hopes that other Necromancy secret arts can enhance the strength of the Flying Sky Demon and strengthen the Corpse Pill.
Then there is his natal magic weapon, the black wood sword.
After breaking through to the middle stage of the Core Formation period, it became imperative to enhance the Ebony Sword. It could no longer be delayed, otherwise, once he reached the later stage of the Core Formation period, his cultivation would stagnate.
The ebony sword was his bottleneck, only a spirit wood of the ten divine tree rank could upgrade it. Looking for such a divine object in Canglang Sea was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but Qin Sang had to do it.
Qin Sang chose to travel at this time, hoping to gather information and perhaps find a solution to these troubles.

Hearing Qin Sang's words, the Wang sisters both looked a little downcast.
The two sisters looked at each other, and the elder sister, Wang Shi, spoke: “Thank you, Daoist Master, but after some deliberation, my sister and I have decided that if you are unwilling to stay, we also intend to return to the Inner Sea. Over these years, under your protection, both of us have broken through to the Jindan period and accumulated a considerable amount of wealth, enough for us to cultivate peacefully for a while. Moreover, our master is getting older and it is time for us to go back and filial piety.”
Wang Xiang had lost her usual playfulness and pouted as she said, "Master Dao, our master's cave is on Lingchun Island. It's a very beautiful place, with springlike weather all year round. This is the inner sea map. Don't forget us, and if you ever go to the inner sea, please remember to visit Lingchun Island."
Qin Sang took the nautical chart passed over by the Wang sisters and nodded in response.
“Since that’s the case, when you bid farewell to Elder Zou, remember to explain my absence for him. I won't make a special trip over. Also, the Qiong Yu Merchant Guild is actually quite good, with considerable influence in Neihai as well. If your sect doesn't have any requirements, there's no need to leave the guild. With this connection, you'll have one more avenue open to you in the future.”
The Wang sisters nodded in agreement.
Wang Xiang looked at Qin Sang's cloak, eager to speak. However, she was pulled by Wang Shi, and the two sisters turned and walked away, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Qin Sang stood still, watching the Wang sisters leave. He lowered his head to glance at the nautical chart in his hand, shook it imperceptibly, then put it away.
After leaving the waters near Wuyuan Island and escaping the beast horde, the cultivators found a place to rest for a while. After bidding farewell to their acquaintances, Qin Sang quietly left.
Several days later.
Qin Sang rode his two-headed hound, appearing on a small island. After circling the island, he landed on a rocky beach.
The ebony sword transformed into a giant blade, carving a deep pit in the stone beach. Qin Sang walked inside, sensing the spiritual energy within the cave dwelling and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he sealed off the entrance and set up a spirit formation.
Having just broken through, he encountered a major battle. His cultivation was not yet consolidated, his true essence agitated. Otherwise, killing those two large monsters would have been easier.

Thinking of the Great Demon, Qin Sang flipped his palm, and a jade box appeared in his palm. Inside the jade box lay a demon pill.
This is the demon pill of the giant turtle.
After killing the giant turtle, everyone divided the spoils. Master Yuansan was grateful for Qin Sang's help and insisted on giving him his share, adding a sum of spirit stones to help him get a demon pill.
Address: several traces of residual formations, all broken by brute force."As I expected!"Qin Sang seemed thoughtful. This wooden building had once been protected by an array, but it was definitely now looted...
