Chapter 1541: Green Silk
onghuang Bo and Chenyan were not very curious about this place. After a brief glance, they set their sights firmly upward and continued to soar.>There are some places they wouldn't even dare to enter,...All the high monks exchanged glances, their eyes turning cold.
As the debate progressed, their impression of this Moon Goddess improved.
This person indeed lives up to their reputation. Their understanding of Buddhist scriptures is profound, with a lofty perspective and the ability to explain themselves convincingly.
They were prepared to lose the debate, and offered up their texts willingly.
Since I've lost, I have no right to ask them to remove the title "Bodhisattva."
But things took a turn!
>
"Is this your true purpose"
The Venerable Chengzhen's eyes locked onto Guanyin Bodhisattva, a flash of killing intent passing through his gaze.
Upon hearing about the trouble at the temple, their first reaction was that it was Moon Goddess's plot.
The Moonlight Bodhisattva walked out from the depths of the Western Desert. Her origins were shrouded in mystery. After gaining fame in Xuelian Mountain and the Three Thousand Buddha Kingdoms, she took step by step towards the vast ocean.
The world is watching.
During this process, the Moon Goddess traveled far and wide, seeking out accomplished monks to engage in debates. Her purpose was pure, her objective unwavering: after defeating her opponent, they would offer up a treasured scripture from the Zangjing Pavilion's collection.
There has never been any ill intention.
Although the Moonlight Bodhisattva caused shame for the Buddhist community, the Buddhist community's suspicions about him actually decreased.
For this reason, the Zhulan Temple dispatched two venerable monks, along with other masters from various temples, to come and see for themselves just how capable the Moonlight Bodhisattva truly was.
In the world of cultivation, conspiracies spanning hundreds or even thousands of years are commonplace. The Moonlit Bodhisattva patiently laid out a plan, luring them out of the temple, which is entirely explainable.

The origins of the Moon Goddess are shrouded in mystery.
This is a placeholder for a paragraph of text.
The thief who infiltrated Bamboo Grove Temple was also a mysterious master of unknown origin.
All these coincidences make it hard not to wonder.
Here's the translation:<

In the blink of an eye, Venerable Guanhui's waist pendant also shattered with a loud crack. The disciples in the temple finally had time to activate the transmission formation and sent a short message.
Both venerable ones gasped in astonishment at this news.
In a short period, the temple's most precious treasure was stolen and the protective spirit formation was broken. Venerable Chengyuan used two forbidden secret arts, but he still couldn't stop the thief.
'Click!'
The esteemed Venerable's temple veins throbbed, and with a squeeze of his rosary beads, wood chips rained down from between his fingers.
'Whoosh! Whoosh!'
A multitude of monks darted forward, surrounding the Bodhisattva Guangyue.
The young monk, having felt dizzy and overwhelmed just now, already looked down upon the Moonlight Bodhisattva. Upon receiving the signal, his spirits soared, and he swiftly formed a battle formation.
Kill all who oppose, show no mercy!
>
It's too late to return to Zhulan Temple now. If Guanghua Bodhisattva is the mastermind, there might still be a chance to turn things around if we capture them.
>
The Bodhisattva under the Moonlight noticed something amiss, her laughter ceased, and the head beneath her hat tilted up slightly.

From the mind of Moon-light Bodhisattva, and from the tone of True Venerable Master and the behavior of the monks, one could guess at the reason for the event even without knowing the details.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Faced by the encircling monks, Guanyin Bodhisattva showed no fear and retorted with sarcastic remarks.
Although they were so close, the voice of the Moon Goddess still held a sense of ethereal detachment, difficult to discern as male or female. This was in keeping with the legend of the Bodhisattva who transcended gender and form.
"The demons are arrogant, and they still refuse to surrender their heads!"
The True Venerable was enraged and roared with fury.
First, the Moonlight Bodhisattva was categorized as a treacherous demon with ulterior motives.
"Demon-possessed head!"
All the monks bowed their heads and chanted in unison.
The voice was like a lion's roar, the atmosphere was tense and solemn, carrying a power that could intimidate one's soul.
Suddenly, the figures of all the monks moved as one, fast to the extreme, like a phantom, an electric flash. The naked eye could no longer distinguish whether there was one monk under the Bodhi tree or thousands.
Only the Moon Goddess remained, alone and surrounded. There was no escape, no way out, not even for a bird with wings.
This is a continuation of the previous line.
The next moment, an astonishing sight occurred. The Bodhisattva of Moonlight sat motionless on the spot, and suddenly vanished without a trace.
Right in the middle of the formation the monks had created, he vanished into thin air.
The Venerable Chengan knew that the Moon Goddess certainly had a way to escape, and she had already prepared all sorts of divine powers and treasures to prevent him from running away. Unexpectedly, none of them were used.
There was no sign of how the Moon Goddess escaped.
“Overreaching! You think a few of you can hold back this Bodhisattva!”
The void recalled the mocking laughter that echoed in the ears of the assembled monks.
All the venerable ones reacted very quickly, hearing the sound they rushed to the high sky and dispersed in all directions, but all they saw was boundless clouds and yellow sand everywhere, the Moon Goddess had long since disappeared.
After looking at each other, the venerable ones all wore expressions of helplessness.
After a thorough search yielded no results, he could only lead the assembled monks back to the temple with their tails between their legs.
When all the monks had departed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Moonlight Bodhisattva walked out from the shadow of the Bodhi tree and looked towards the direction of the Seven Stars of the Vast Ocean.
A hum emanated from inside the hat, tinged with annoyance.
“Dare to use this Bodhisattva as a pawn and ruin my plans, be careful not to let me catch you!”
Before the words were finished, Moonlight Bodhisattva strode into the sea of sand, following silently behind the crowd of monks, heading towards the Seven Stars of the Vast Sea. Her steps seemed both slow and swift, disappearing in a flash among the dunes.
Ju Lan Temple.
Qin Sang and Liuli finally rushed out of the temple guardian spirit formation. They were no longer as constrained as before, nor did they have to worry about being caught in a trap.
>
His gaze swept quickly around.
Besides Kongyu Venerable, several lights were flying towards them from afar. The Nascent Soul venerables from other temples were also arriving soon.
"Let's go!"
Qin Sang uttered softly.
Luli nodded, her jade hand beckoning as she retracted the Four Serpents Seal. Without hesitation, her figure plummeted downwards, disappearing into the vast sea of people after a few blinks, lost amongst the city's throng.
This is the plan that Qin Sang and Liuli had made.
Liuli was not skilled in escapism and using her spiritual treasures was very draining. She yielded the position to Qin Sang, who took charge as regent.
Of course, before escaping, Liuli didn't forget to command Tengshe's remaining power and pounce on Kongyu Venerable.
Seeing Lingbao's might, Master Kongyu was startled. However, he reacted swiftly. He reversed the alms bowl in his hand, inverting it to protect himself, and retreated repeatedly.
Kongyü Venerable was not entirely without means of resistance.
In his other hand, he secretly held a pair of iron shackles. His sleeve trembled slightly, and he was about to throw them at Liuli when he suddenly heard the urgent call of Master Chengyuan. He quickly changed direction and aimed them at Qin Sang.
>
The iron shackles were extremely heavy, with a ‘snap’, they split in half. Between the two pieces of iron shackles, a chain formed by light possessed immense binding power.
Like thunder, it crashed towards Qin Sang.
Looking at this posture, it's clear they want to turn Qin Sang into minced meat rather than take him prisoner.
Unfortunately, the avatar has been relentlessly watching Venerable Kongyu.
As soon as Tiejia made his move, Jinchen Sword roared towards him, forcing Kongyu Venerable to retreat again and no longer posing a threat to Qin Sang. At the same time, the void between Qin Sang and Kongyu Venerable burst with dazzling blue light, forming a heavy ice wall.
'Boom!'
The ice wall was smashed open, creating a large hole. Ice shards flew everywhere.
The iron shackles possessed immense force, but their strength also proved to be their weakness. The "chains" in the middle swayed with a noticeably diminished amplitude, resulting in a significant reduction in their binding power.
Qin Sang vanished in a flash, easily breaking free from the iron shackles. As soon as he did, a strong wind hit him from behind, and he knew that Venerable Chengyuan had caught up to him.
“Whew!”
The demon fire converged, transforming into a fiery dragon, clashing with the Kwai Dao in a powerful strike. Without the enhancement of its blade intent, the Kwai Dao's power was greatly reduced, unable to break through the demon fire.
With the external avatar having forced back Kongyu Venerable, he sheathed his sword and returned. The second Yuanying merged with his main body, and his physical body vanished into the Corpse Puppet Bag.
>
Qin Sang laughed and flew away.
The two venerable masters pursued relentlessly for a while, but alas, their speed paled in comparison to the other. They watched helplessly as Qin Sang escaped with ease.
At this time, other reinforcements arrived, but it was too late.
Deep in the desert.
Stay away from the oasis.
On an unassuming desert plain, a few stone mountains were huddled together, barely forming a mountain range that spanned the wasteland. The peaks were bare and devoid of any greenery, seamlessly blending with the surrounding sand dunes.
>
The only sign of life was perhaps the scattered Bodhi trees on the barren land. In late autumn, their leaves turned yellow and fell, leaving a desolate scene.
After shaking off his pursuers, Qin Sang didn't stop for a moment, flying to this place.

Here is a hidden cave they had previously opened up, where they agreed to meet. Not long after they made the plan, a figure appeared in the desert—it was Luli.

They looked at each other, both unharmed, and broke into easy smiles.

Qin Sang retracted his smile and said in a deep voice, “The relic has changed, it must be refined now...”
Here is the translated text, keeping all HTML tags:

"I'll protect the dharma," Liuli nodded.
Closed cave.
Qin Sang crossed his legs and sat down, finally having time to carefully inspect the relic.
>
That power was almost beyond control.
He opened his palm, and the relic shone with a brilliant light, forming circles of multicolored haloes, just like Buddha's light, illuminating the cave.
The halo rises and falls, as if breathing.
Qin Sang stared for a moment, his eyes slightly closed. He carefully activated his divine sense, sensing the energy within the relic.
As soon as Qin Sang made contact, he furrowed his brow.
From what could be perceived, it wasn't just raging energy; there seemed to be some indescribable chaotic thoughts as well. It felt like entering the mind of a madman, filled with demonic obsessions.
After a moment's hesitation, Qin Sang cautiously released his control. A surge of energy flooded into his body madly. Immediately after, Qin Sang felt a tearing pain coming from his Yuanying.
Not only that, but he also began to hear voices in his head, the residual demonic thoughts incessantly assaulting his soul.
These demonic thoughts naturally could not affect Qin Sang. He focused on stabilizing his nascent soul, feeling the pain wave after wave.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This feeling is somewhat like being in a bath, but it's completely different. Only the nascent infant soul is undergoing the impact, the physical body and meridians are unaffected.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Cleansing Pool enhances the talent for absorbing spiritual energy. Metaphorically speaking, it improves the structure of the Nascent Soul.
Now, after the Yuan Ying merges with this energy, it becomes more solid than before. In pain, it is refined, reminding Qin Sang of the Buddhist initiation of Bodhi. This state clearly has great benefits for future breakthroughs.
By this point, Qin Sang had roughly figured out the situation.
This energy emanating from the exotic treasure was both an opportunity and a danger, and it must have been far more violent back then than it is now. Venerable Hongyi used this treasure to break through, but he couldn't withstand the double impact of the nascent soul and the spirit. He perished instantly.
At the brink of death, Master Hongyi used some means to infuse his life essence into a magical treasure, leaving it as a legacy for future generations. Unfortunately, he was unable to leave behind any information, leading to the pearl being covered in dust.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Because of this incident, with Master Hongyi's 'seal' as a buffer, Xiao Xiangzi judged that the danger of later generations refining the relic would be greatly reduced.
Here is your response:
However, the 'seal' has been worn down by time. Now the relic is on the verge of collapse, and it has become dangerous again.
Here is the text translated into English:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Of course, it cannot be compared to the initial state, because they can do some guidance before the 'sealing' completely disappears.
"Quickly close the cave, and let's refine this treasure together."
Qin Sang drank a sip, and then focused on stabilizing his nascent soul.
Liuli was slightly startled, confirming that there was nothing unusual outside the cave dwelling. She sat cross-legged in front of Qin Sang, raising her jade hand and touching the relic.
As soon as their spiritual consciousnesses connected, Liuli immediately understood the situation. Following Qin Sang's instructions, she took over a portion of the seal and guided a surge of energy into her body.
The next moment, Liuli let out a muffled groan, her body trembling.
She had no jade Buddha's protection, nor had she undergone the baptism of the cleansing pool like Qin Sang. Facing double tremors and excruciating pain, she almost collapsed on the spot. Fortunately, she persevered thanks to her strong will.
In the cave dwelling.
Qin Sang and Liuli pressed their palms together, enveloped in a halo of light, looking serene and peaceful.
In reality, they are constantly experiencing tidal waves of shock within their bodies.
One incense stick later.
Liuli arrived at her limit first, abruptly retracting her palm.
After slightly calming her rapid breath, she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze a little dazed, still not fully recovered from the effects of the elixir.
The remnants of demonic thoughts within the relic weren't pure madness. Instead, fragments of information and pieces of consciousness surged into his mind, transforming him into someone else, almost completely immersed in another being's world.
Fortunately, the information is fragmented and Liuli can still maintain her own self.
Most of it is useless, but some information is very valuable.
The confusion of the glass is precisely from this.
Gradually, Liuli's glazed eyes regained their clarity. Her gaze swept over Qin Sang, seeing him still refining the remaining energy of the relic. For now, there were no signs of him faltering.
Her eyelids twitched, and Liuli slowly closed her eyes. She stayed in the cave dwelling, just in case Qin Sang encountered any trouble so she could help him immediately.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
After a while, the radiance of the sarira gradually dimmed, and its energy finally depleted.
Qin Sang woke up from his meditation and let out a long sigh.
Just awakened, the tide of information from the demonic dream flooded Qin Sang's mind. He looked at Liuli, a complex expression in his eyes. He sighed silently, got up and went to another cave dwelling for quiet contemplation.
Suffering! Assembling! Annihilation! The Way!
Four golden characters blazed brightly in the glazed mind, seeming to contain infinite information, shaking and stunning the soul.
During the process of refining the relics, they unexpectedly obtained a secret art that could resolve worldly attachments and sever romantic feelings with a sword of wisdom.
What she valued was not the power of this secret art.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To break free from the mark of demonic arts, Liuli had previously used silver needles to seal her affections and ice-heart magic to freeze them.
Because of all sorts of reasons, it failed.
She had once heard the Moon Goddess and the monks debate scriptures on Jiugashan Mountain, deepening her understanding of Buddhism. At that time, she was inspired and had the idea of seeking a way to remove her suffering from the Buddhist world.
I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
However, cultivating this method, one must enter the void realm, sever worldly attachments, and purify the six senses, only then can one achieve success.
Liuli didn't know when she opened her eyes. Her clear eyes rippled with a hint of emotion.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Before the sacred land opened, although she had interacted with Qin Sang several times, she didn't know him well. Her knowledge of his deeds mostly came from hearsay.
Until the Battle of the Holy Land, she had fought almost the entire time alongside Qin Sang.
Facing the formidable opponent Yin Changsheng, he used all his divine powers and fought with unwavering determination, never giving up. Just like when he was trapped in a desperate situation by Dongyang Bo's schemes, he still fought for every chance.
Facing a horde of demons, including two great cultivators, he bravely led her into the Dragon's Pool, suppressing them all. His courage was unparalleled.
She empathizes with his determination, traveling to Zhongzhou despite the uncertainty, grasping at every possible chance in pursuit of this ethereal opportunity.

以及。
Even though he could easily obtain a Nascent Soul stage servant, he remained steadfast and minimized his influence on her.
Bearing the weight of one person, tossing and turning for thousands of miles, searching for a way to save them with perseverance and tenderness.
But.
When all of this was summed up as a sinister mark in Qin Sang's impression, it seemed pale and insignificant.
The terrifying feeling when the brand was fully released, like a nightmare. Every time Liuli dreamt of it, she would tremble all over.
Really
Is it a hallucination
The restriction has been triggered.
Qin Sang woke from his meditation, as if sensing something. He rose slowly, pushing open the stone door with a measured motion.
Liliu stood outside, her palm holding the Four-Headed Serpent Seal and a jade slip.
>
“This contains the complete ‘Tongbao Jue’.”
The glass murmured softly.
>
Qin Sang gazed at the glazed eyes, taking the treasure in her hands. Although she understood what kind of choice her decisive nature would make, she couldn't help but ask, "Have you made your decision"
Liuli nodded, "I will send a message to the Six Realms Hall once I receive news from Guimu."
Qin Sang opened his mouth, thousands of words condensed into a single sentence, "Thank you."
Liuli gently raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping across Qin Sang's face.
"Qindao you, hao you qi!"
Having said that, Liuli clasped her hands together and turned to descend the mountain. She walked away with determination, seeking her own path.
The sun was setting, casting golden rays everywhere. The sky was awash with golden hues of sunset.
She took off her cloak, having already changed into a dark robe and pointed shoes.

The sword of wisdom cleaves through the silken threads of love!
Three thousand strands of hair fall, every step blooming lotus.
The glow fell upon her, like the Buddha's light illuminating all, as if she had entered a pure land of glass.
Qin Sang sent the guest out of the cave, leaning against the bodhi tree, staring at Liuli's back, speechless for a long time.
Suddenly, he felt a stirring in his heart. He gently raised his right hand, and a strand of blue silk carrying a wisp of fragrance drifted into his palm, coiling around his fingertip. In the breeze, it danced softly.
After standing for a long time, Qin Sang let go of his fingers.
Silver strands and countless withered leaves were swept up together in the boundless sandstorm.
Like a butterfly's shadow.
Dancing gracefully.
The farther and farther it drifted away.

(Volume Four Complete!)

Volume 5, "Ode to Leisure," is coming soon.
I owe too many chapters, and I'm sorry for taking a break to rest for a day and organize the outline.
> 3. This scroll is hard to write.
Regardless of whether it's good or bad, at least I expressed what I wanted to say completely.
As for their future, wait until I tell you.
The next volume will tie up the loose ends and foreshadowing from before, and lay the groundwork for what's to come. It's estimated that it will be more difficult to write, and I can't guarantee any additional updates. So, this is a heads-up.
(The End)on. The Abyss of Sin seems to also have demonic shadows lurking. If we have a complete binding rope, dealing with them would be much easier..."Qin Sang took out the jade slip and stamped the runes on...
