ng immediately moved. Except for those important objects, everything else was taken with Sun De's corpse and flew deep into the sinkhole.Only when he saw these things turn to ashes and flutter into t...The Divine Court, the Divine Thunder, the Talisman Gods...

Qin Sang was astonished by the profound depth of Taoism.

Although Zuo Zhenren's speech contained many ambiguous points, Qin Sang was able to glean the style of the ancient Taoist school through his terse phrases.

Qin Sang's first thought was the guess about this world back then. Could a small thousand world really nurture such power

Zuo Zhenren clearly stated that it was "this world".

After hearing Zuo Zhenren's explanation of the Divine Court, Qin Sang fell into deep thought, sorting through these astonishing secrets.

According to Master Zuo Zhen, the demon cultivators of the Ghost Realm created their demonic talismans based on the Taoist techniques from the Dao Men sect. Whether it's the Taoist talismans or the demonic talismans, they both originated from talismanry. The divine court and the talisman spirits are the embodiments of the true meaning of talismanry, and they are closely related to the foundation of cultivation for cultivators.

In today's world, the Qi of the Six Heavens runs rampant, while the Heavenly Court has vanished without a trace. The connection between talismans, the Heavenly Court, and the divine spirits has weakened, resulting in unstable foundations for cultivators. As they reach the Great Immortal and Demon King realms, their power derived solely from talismans becomes insufficient.

The might of the Divine Court is transmitted through various administrative halls and imperial seals.

This will lead to two consequences.

First, before a cultivator breaks through to the Five Talismans Legal Realm, they must first visit the True Monarch and be blessed by the True Monarch with the power of the Gong Seal, obtaining stronger protection. This is equivalent to having their name "recorded" on the Gong Seal. In Dao Court, this is called "Ascending to the True."

Only after one has attained the Five Seal Positions can they enter the Way of Great Authenticity and become a Great Immortal.

It is so, the Great Real Humans of Taoism have a fixed number, determined by the degree to which the seal of accomplishment is refined. It's not that anyone who wants to break through can do so.

The size of the scope of an Emperor's Seal can be used to judge its power. The territory of an Emperor’s Seal is the boundary within which its Imperial Might extends. The wider the territory, the closer the Emperor's Seal is to being perfected.

Secondly, the Grandmaster must practice within the range of the imperial decree's power, staying away from the altar. Even then, their foundation will still be affected. The celestial phenomena triggered by the Grandmaster's travels are not auspicious. The farther they are from the altar, the more intense the phenomena become.

By this point, Qin Sang had already guessed the true intentions of the Left Immortal.

Left Real Person explained so much, even willing to leak the secrets of this realm to an outsider like himself. He must want me to help the Taoist sect in their struggle for the Divine Court.

My performance during the duel with the Spirit Phantom King was clearly seen by Left Trueman. I gave it my all, and at least managed to hold off a demon king.

And, as long as there is enough wood spirit energy, I dare to charge into battle regardless of the consequences. It's hard to find a more valiant general than myself.

It's not surprising that Left True Person would try to bring me over to their side.

"These achievements of mine are not enough to warrant true recognition, are they" Qin Sang asked with a frown.

"The merit of slaying the demon king is certainly sufficient, but fellow Daoist, you are not one of our Taoist sect… As for whether you can ascend to immortality, you must first obtain a summons from the True Monarch, and it will be decided by the True Monarch," Left Zhenren pondered for a moment before bluntly stating, "If fellow Daoist can help our Taoist sect recover the Divine Court, your merit will be unparalleled in the world, and ascending to immortality will be effortless."

Qin Sang's gaze passed through the golden armored soldiers, landing on the left true person who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. He hesitated and said: "I believe that I can't hide from the senior's divine eyes. What this junior relies on is actually a type of Taoist technique. It must be used in a specific environment, otherwise..."

Jin Jia Zhan Jiang chuckled and interrupted Qin Sang, "Among the many fellow practitioners, there are real people who are proficient in Five Elements talismans. The troops also have wood-type monsters. It is easy for fellow daoists to create a realm of Mu Ling Qi for you, and the Mu Ling Qi is readily available!"

Qin Sang let out an 'uh' sound. He was accustomed to fighting alone and had ignored the difference between battlefield combat and ordinary duels.

The Taoist magical formulas are the most suitable divine powers for battle formations, and with the coordination of troops, what the Left True Man said is not false.

It seems Left True Person is determined to win me over.

Qin Sang fell silent again, savoring Zuo Zhenren's words. Based on his own experience, the so-called "Six Heavens Qi" mainly affected true essence and primordial spirit.

What he cultivated wasn't Fu Dao, he only used talismans to stabilize his true essence. His Dao Foundation and Divine Court had no connection. After breaking through the Immortal Realm, would his Dao Foundation still be affected so much

A talisman can already communicate with the Divine Court and invoke its protection. Cultivators at the Refining Void stage have far greater control over True Essence and celestial Qi than those at the Transformation God stage. As long as they remain within the Daoist sect's jurisdiction, they may not even need to ascend to become a true god to practice normally.

Zuo Zhenren also pointed out that the threat of Shenjiang's unrest was more serious than True Yuan's disorder, and he himself had a jade Buddha, so he didn't have to worry at all.

If Qin Sang's deduction is true, perhaps we wouldn't need to seek out the Dao Court and thus avoid the risk of being embroiled in the struggle between the two powerful forces.

In the presence of the Great Master, Qin Sang felt an intangible pressure and acted with utmost caution.

Facing the true monarch directly, I'm afraid they would see through me at a glance, with nowhere to hide.

Of course, all of this depends on him breaking through the realm of Xianxu in this world. If he can find the path to ascension ahead of time, there's no need to worry at all.

As if seeing Qin Sang's thoughts, Left Zhenren reminded: "Daoist friend, don't think that those who are not from my Daoist sect and haven't received the talismans and cultivated the scriptures can be an exception. Over the years, the Jishan sect has had many prodigies, but in the end, they all sought refuge in the Dao court..."

At this point, the left-hand man paused, as if the following words were too important and he was hesitant.

"In the end, he made up his mind. 'The so-called six days of celestial qi refers to the Heavenly Dao. The sayings about true essence and primordial spirit are to let later generations understand and avoid being shaken in their faith by the truth of this realm. It's a convention, a more reasonable explanation... Fellow cultivator, first make an oath."

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

The armored warrior remained silent, his eyes burning with intensity as they fixed upon Qin Sang.

Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he was about to uncover the true secrets. He immediately swore an oath to his inner demon, vowing never to reveal them.

Since the decision was made, Zuo Zhenren no longer hesitated, “Cultivating to the Heavenly Profound Realm, Daoist friend should be able to feel the importance of the ‘Dao.’ Cultivation and seeking the Dao are by no means empty words. As the saying goes, heaven and earth are filled with mist and everything is refined. The Dao has a constant order, evolving all things; if the Dao is disordered, what will happen then”

When Qin Sang heard this, his face immediately revealed astonishment. He suddenly looked towards the exit of the ruling platform and said in a deep voice, "Like those ferocious beasts"

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

“Like those savage beasts! With the heavens out of order, how can we mortals seek the Way” The golden armored general frowned and countered.

“The divine court can pacify the six heavens and the primal qi, and establish the four directions and eight poles. What is established is the Heavenly Dao and the Grand Dao!”

“As the ancients said: 'Without accumulating merit through deeds, it is difficult to reach the profound realm. Without alleviating suffering, one's Dao fruit will be hard to achieve!' At the beginning, when the Divine Court was established, it was called Lei City, and what was revered was the Lei Fa…”

Please note: The text between the > tags was initially empty. I have left it as such in the translated output. If you had intended for something else to be there, please provide the correct content.

At this point, the Golden Armored General's voice suddenly rose to a high pitch.

“What is the thunder method It is to wield thunder in one's palm, summon wind and rain at one's fingertips, act as heaven's emissary to enlighten all beings, benefit humanity, and be a lifelong treasure!”

With a resounding boom, the sound shook the very earth, echoing deeply within Qin Sang's heart.

Left General sat still, his golden armor glistening, the battle-hardened warriors’ expressions stoic. Yet, as he spoke those words, Qin Sang could sense an unusual brilliance emanating from them, an air of transcendence!

“The Taoist school creates a divine court, sets up altars, refines the power of seals, and transmits talismans. One who achieves any of these is dedicated to pacifying all evil origins and restoring a bright and clear world where there are no ghosts or ferocious beasts. Only then can one be considered a great achievement. It is said that once a seal of divine power is perfected, within its domain, the natural order prevails, and the six celestial qi cannot invade. Alas…”

Left True-man sighed, fell silent, then with a hint of hope added, "With the return of the Divine Court, we successors to the lineage carry on the aspirations of our ancestors. Perhaps one day, we may fulfill their great ambition."

Qin Sang was about to pull at his ears and scratch his cheeks. Left True Person had said a lot, but concealed more, and it was clear he wasn't prepared to explain in detail.

What a great divine ability it is to be able to appease the Heavenly Dao! What level of deity possesses such power

Such a grand vision and ambition, if one were to say that the Daoist sect had once produced a celestial master, Qin Sang wouldn't find it surprising.

Such a powerful ancient Daoist sect, why has it fallen to such a state And what caused the Divine Court to collapse

Could it be that there are even more terrifying enemies lurking in the abyss Has the Dao Court suffered such a crushing defeat that it's fallen into despair

Qin Sang couldn't help but think of the legend of the monsters in Nie Yuan. He had entered Nie Yuan many times to hunt demons, carefully following the warnings and not venturing too deep. He had never seen those eerie and unpredictable creatures with his own eyes.

"Whew! Whew! Whew!"

>

Although there was no wind, the treetops behind Qin Sang shook violently, and leaves rustled and fell.

The floating island beneath them was trembling, causing the entire space and the entire governing platform to shake.

>

A single leaf fell onto Qin Sang's shoulder, startling him awake. He glanced out of the dream realm.

Unlike the previous explosion of golden light, this time there was only vibration, no other phenomena. It was impossible to accurately perceive the source of the vibration, only knowing it originated deep within the self-governing altar.

>

Left Zhenren also couldn't say whether the tremor was caused by both sides fighting, or if it was triggered by the emergence of the Divine Court.

“It’s been so long, we might be too late if we go now Also, does anyone know where the Divine Court is”

Qin Sang did not directly agree or refuse.

When he was born, Nantianmen was in a secluded valley at the bottom of a blue light sea, oblivious to it all.

"Do our best and leave the rest to fate," sighed Zuo Zhenren. "Those demons clearly came prepared. I only hope that other fellow cultivators won't be defeated too soon, and can hold out against them, achieving a stalemate. Even if this is the case, there will inevitably be another battle in the Shen Ting. We should rest up quickly so we don't miss out."

After a moment, Qin Sang learned the location of the Divine Court from the golden armored warrior, and was instantly taken aback.

The Divine Court is actually in the direction of the Crimson Gold Needle!

"Coincidence or..."

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

Qin Sang had a bad premonition, but because he knew too little, his thoughts were a tangled mess, and he couldn't sort them out.

He couldn't help but worry. The Divine Court might affect his path to ascension, and if the channel between the two worlds was destroyed, he would only have one choice - to rely on the Dao Sect.

Even if Zuozhiren didn't invite him, Qin Sang would still go and take a look.

And although Qin Sang didn't completely believe Zuo Zhenren's discourse on the Way of Heaven, he dared not treat it lightly.

Unless he ascends, he will have to bear the bitter fruit of celestial order disorder if he remains in this world. Being led astray, how can he even think about pursuing the Dao

It is imperative to prepare for the future.

> We'll play it by ear then.

Seeing Qin Sang's agreement, the Left True Person was overjoyed and said in a relaxed tone: "Daoist Qingfeng, do you still want to exchange these merits for opportunities for cultivation now"

Qin Sang said in a low voice, "The essence of cultivation lies in ascending the true path. Both are indispensable!"

Only those who possess the ability to break through bottlenecks are qualified to ascend to the true realm.

Qin Sang believed the former was more important. If Zuo Zhenren was making alarmist statements, he would know once he broke through to the Xian level.

The Golden Armor Warrior nodded, "Since that's the case, this poor Daoist also has some insights into the Five Talismans Way. If Daoist friend trusts this poor Daoist, I can point you in the right direction now."

As the saying goes, one should not lightly pass on sacred teachings. Left True Person wouldn't point the way without reason, Qin Sang still needs to earn it through his merits. But he can be taught the method first, and then discuss compensation with the Daoist Court later.

This move was clever, seeming to appease himself while also not fearing that he might not be able to succeed.

But Qin Sang was instantly smitten. Left Zhenren teaming up with him against the enemy meant he must have a good understanding of him. Having Left Zhenren as his guide couldn't be more perfect.

Well, let's get the benefits first.

Here's the translation:

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

"Senior, please bestow guidance upon me," Qin Sang said with a solemn expression, bowing respectfully and attentively listening.

Before the words could even settle, Master Left's eyelids twitched slightly. He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and intense, fixed on Qin Sang.

Qin Sang felt as if a heavy hammer had struck his soul. His expression remained unchanged, but his heart pounded with anxiety.

Under the scrutiny of Zuo Ren's gaze, Qin Sang felt like he was shedding his Ming Shan armor and being seen through.

Left Zhenren slowly said, "No matter what method a fellow cultivator cultivates, if they seek the Dao, they must emulate heaven and earth, achieving harmony between heaven and human. The Five Seals and One Gate are also in this. Over many years, the predecessors of Taoism have also summed up some key points, which can also be considered shortcuts. As for the effect, it varies from person to person..."

Qin Sang's expression became increasingly respectful. He listened as the Left True Person spoke the truth: "If one enters the Dao through the Five Elements, the two most superior are chosen and refined to perfection. One can choose one and focus on it, or all five elements can be possessed, balanced without any deficiency."

Every word uttered by Master Zuoren transmitted divine consciousness, profound beyond description, a marvel ineffable.

So, although it is a simple sentence, the profundity within it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Qin Sang was stunned for a long time, struggling to digest this information. Having experience breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm, he had speculated before, but it wasn't systematic. Left Zhenren's guidance pointed directly at the key.

There is no doubt that Qin Sang will definitely take the second path.

He possessed the five elemental spiritual roots, being known as having all five elements complete. However, achieving balance among the five elements is far more than just possessing the five elemental spiritual roots.

Balancing the Five Elements is a complex undertaking that cannot be explained in a few words, nor can it be achieved overnight.

At that moment, Qin Sang couldn't fully understand. He just memorized it haphazardly and would ponder over its meaning later on.

Before Qin Sang could fully comprehend these profound truths, the Left True Man scrutinized him once more and then continued, "You must understand that practitioners of the Dao differ from those who cultivate power."

Qin Sang hastily regained his composure and listened carefully.

Left True Man clearly saw that he was both a practitioner of Taoism and martial arts. Qin Sang didn't expect Left True Man to be so generous, and would even point him in the way of strength cultivation.

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

Although Qin Sang's Dao foundation is not yet strong, knowing this information can still be of great benefit to him.

"A cultivator of force, once they reach the realm of Dong Xuan (cave profound), would use their own essence energy as the basis to evolve an inner world. I've seen descriptions of 'inner scenes' and 'outer scenes' in ancient texts, which correspond to the realms of Dong Xuan and Wu Fu respectively..."

Zuo Zhenren pondered for a moment, as if recalling and thinking, "Both follow the Heaven and Earth, striving for unity between man and nature. We manipulate vital energy, control Heaven and Earth, while Li Dao seeks to be one with Heaven and Earth itself. The so-called 'external scene' is constantly absorbing the power of Heaven and Earth into the body, strengthening the inner world, and projecting it outwards, influencing Heaven and Earth. The demonic cultivator's appearance is a manifestation of the 'external scene'…"

As for the discussion of force, Master Zuo spoke at length.

While it seems to explain things in more detail, it's actually not as clever as before. However, it's enough to guide Qin Sang.

As the saying goes, one sentence from a true master is worth ten thousand volumes of books.

Perhaps Left True Person has something hidden, but these words are not false. With Qin Sang's current cultivation, he can judge for himself.

All previous doubts were resolved, Qin Sang felt a sudden clarity in his mind and found the direction for his future cultivation, although it was not yet completely clear.

This person owes me a huge favor!

Qin Sang was surprised and sighed inwardly.

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

Left True Person is so forthright that even if he has ulterior motives, he must reciprocate kindness. It's not just a matter of fair trade; it's more than that.

At the very least, in this Heavenly Court Dispute, he couldn't simply be a spectator. When it was time to act, he had to act.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!d for refining corpses. Anyone with insight could guess that the master of the corpse might have suffered backlash and was therefore so eager to exchange them, even at the cost of their entire fortune...
