Chapter 1786: Sanji's Stage

mountain range shrouded in thin mist.The child of Tao took out a token, shook it slightly, and a thin mist parted to both sides, revealing a path straight up the mountain. The child of Tao rolled up h...The two of them were currently standing in the middle of a mountain range, sandwiched between two towering peaks.

It was already nightfall, but the moon had not yet risen.

The gloomy ravine should have been shrouded in darkness, but now it was bathed in sunlight.

The brilliant glow did not only illuminate the two of them, but also the entire northern foothills of the mountain range, along with the land to the north and all the grasses and trees growing on it. Everything under the glow seemed to be adorned in a magnificent robe.

This is not the sunset glow, the light comes from the direction they are looking.

Patches of multicolored auspicious clouds drifted across the horizon, stretching far and wide, beyond sight.

The auspicious clouds are not static, they are always in motion, but they never leave that area.

Heavy clouds shrouded the land, obscuring the earth, mountains, and all living things.

A strange light emanated from the depths of the auspicious cloud, permeating it and making it multicoloured, with a myriad of radiant hues.

Inside, there seems to be a never-setting sun, its brilliant light shining in all directions at all times, day and night, eternally.

>

This place is always bathed in daylight. Even when the full moon rises, under the glow of the aurora, even a cultivator can only barely make out its faint outline with their eyesight.

The glow was so bright it was almost blinding. They were still more than ten miles from the auspicious cloud, but bathed in the light, their figures were somewhat blurry.

However, the rays of light will not harm the creatures here, and the plants and trees nearby are even more lush than elsewhere.

Some predatory animals with a tendency towards phototaxis will also be attracted by the glow, gathering in the vicinity.

But at this moment, silence surrounded the two of them.

The air around the auspicious clouds was quiet to the point of being deathly still.

The reason is that recently there were continuous tremors in the depths of Xiangyun, and the vibrations emanating from them triggered an instinctive fear in the creatures, causing them to flee in panic.

The beast horde Qin Sang encountered was precisely the spirit beasts that had escaped from here.

Such situations are not uncommon. Deep within the auspicious clouds, there is constant unrest, and tremors occur every so often. Once things settle down, ferocious beasts will gradually gather once more.

The auspicious clouds at this moment are peaceful.

The dark-skinned man gazed deep into the auspicious clouds, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light, as if he were operating some kind of mystical vision.

He saw some illusory figures in the auspicious clouds, seeming to have immortal palaces, pavilions of jade and crystal, as well as vast starry seas and nine-curved Milky Ways. They changed endlessly with the swirling clouds.

"Why would there be such a place in the world of karma"

The dark-skinned monster voiced his doubts.

Entering Ni Yuan, there's only one feeling: desolation!

In common perception, an uncivilized place should be a primitive one, yet it possesses such a shocking and obviously man-made spectacle.

“Look there,” the Nine Heavens Golden Que Envoy raised his hand, pointing at the palace phantom that had just appeared, “Don’t you feel familiar”

“Familiar”

The dark-skinned monster frowned, a series of images flashing through his mind.

He followed the Imperial Historian of the Nine Heavens Golden Palace to visit several Taoist sects. Some temples and palaces were comparable to the grandeur of a celestial realm, but in terms of aura, they fell short compared to the ethereal realm.

Could it be...

The dark-skinned monster couldn't help but be surprised, "Treat the altar"

The Celestial Official of the Nine Heavens nodded lightly, "Indeed! According to ancient texts, this place was originally the altar of Mount Ji's governing deity."

The arrangement of the altar is at the heart of Daoist practice. The arrangements of Zhong Mao's and Bai Shi's altars are also the pivotal points of the two branches of the Daoist tradition.

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

"Is the execution platform here How big was previous Gyutaro" The black-skinned demon was shocked.

Now, present-day Cook Mountain is the largest among the Four Great Mountains of the world.

The Dark-Skinned Monster had once heard from the Imperial Historian of the Nine Heavens Golden Palace that not only could the Altar of Ascension bestow Taoist seals, but it also enshrined a Daoist artifact known as the Seal of All Achievements.

The two halls of the Taoist tradition are respectively in charge of the Zhongmao Zhi Dugongyin and the Shishi Zhi Dugongyin.

As for the powers of the Zhi-tan and Du Gong Yin, the black-skinned monster did not get an answer. Perhaps even the Imperial Censors of the Nine Heavens Golden Que do not know everything.

It can be affirmed that the fundamental principle of treatment lies in treating the root cause, which is at the very center of the treatment.

After taking the initiation ceremony, cultivators could cultivate and govern their temples with peace of mind, which was not unrelated. The Grandmaster entered the evil land and couldn't conceal his aura, it is said that this was because he was too far away from his temple.

But this place is so far from the northern border of Gushan, then how vast was Gushan in its heyday

Even when the other three treatments are combined, they are not as effective as the mountain treatment.

Nine heavens Jin Que imperial censor, with a flick of his finger, shot out a golden light, which in front of him transformed into a golden mirror, revealing the scene on the edge of auspicious clouds, “Dao Ting classics recorded that Ju Shan Zhi was once the head of the four treatments, until the altar was smashed by a earth-shattering battle, completely falling into decline. Look…”

"As he spoke, the Imperial Historian of Jiutian Jinque changed the scene in the mirror and shone it on the auspicious cloud. The mirror reflected the scene deep within the auspicious cloud. With a few random taps of his finger, he said, 'These mountain peaks and rivers' shadows might be illusions, or they might truly exist. But they are definitely not mountains and rivers as people understand them. They are formed by divine powers and Taoist arts. This poor Daoist has ventured deep into the temple of Gu Shan Chi several times and witnessed two star rivers transformed by divine powers converging, but they have been deadlocked until now. We merely gazed at them for a while before silently retreating. If we were to touch those two star rivers, my friend, I fear you might never see me again.'"

The Nine Heavens Golden Que Envoy laughed at himself.

First, the great battle of humans, and divine powers remain to this day.

The divine emissaries of the Nine Heavens Golden Palace were at the late stage of the Void Profound Realm, just a step away from becoming a Grand True Immortal like Li Da. However, they acknowledged that they couldn't even guarantee their own survival.

“War of True Immortals Or... Celestial Master” the black-skinned monster was astonished.

The Dao Ting Great True Person remains hidden from the world during their time of ruling. True Masters and Celestial Masters appear to be merely legends.

The scene depicted at the Gu Shanchi altar indicates that, at least in ancient times, there were indeed true immortals (zhenjun) and celestial masters (tianshi) within this realm.

He shook his head and said, "It's enough to know that it's very dangerous inside. There are powerful ancient divine abilities, as well as folding and shattering spaces. For countless years, every time the auspicious clouds tremble, it is them adjusting to each other, maintaining a stable yet fragile balance. The great real person cannot control himself and will cause fluctuations in his energy. He dare not enter the Gu Shan Ji Tan. We should be even more careful. The outskirts of the auspicious clouds are alright, but once you enter the depths of the Gu Shan Ji Tan, you may face eternal damnation!"

Being able to achieve today's cultivation level, the black-skinned weirdo naturally understands the importance of being cautious.

He looked grave and asked, "Are we going deep into the heart of the mountain this time"

The Imperial Historian of the Nine Heavens Golden Que, 'En', said, "According to Mo Dao You's description, the scene you saw before falling into a coma is somewhat similar to what lies deep within the Jiushan Altar. I suspect that when you broke through the boundary, you fell into the Jiushan Altar and were somehow thrown out afterwards. After all, there are countless eternal rifts within it, which could possibly connect to other realms directly. Moreover, according to my investigation, before I found Dao You, there was a turmoil in the depths of Xiangyun that was more violent than any previous records and lasted for a long time."

Knowing the origin of the auspicious clouds, and after hearing the celestial official from the Nine Heavens Golden Palace recount these stories, the black-skinned monster couldn't help but tremble in fear.

When he arrived from beyond the world, he was struck by a terrible shock and fell unconscious. When he awoke, he found himself saved by this Imperial Historian of the Nine Heavens Golden Palace.

Being at the peak of the mountain, Sanji's situation was extremely dangerous. When he was unconscious, even a slight disturbance could easily crush him.

Though I was thrown out of the political arena and suffered heavy injuries, I have to say that I was incredibly lucky.

Thinking of these things, the dark-skinned monster let out an imperceptible sigh, "I remember some fragments, all bizarre and fantastical scenes. If I find that place, I should be able to remember everything."

As long as you can find the place you remember, there is hope to find the gate between two worlds.

Not only did he want to leave, but the Nine Heavens Golden Que Envoy was also very interested in that place.

"It's a pity that despite sending out so many letters, I haven't been able to find any trace of Mo Dao You's companions. Since her condition is better than yours, she might not be in a coma and has already left the Juishan Altar... There's no need to rush things. This time, the priority is to investigate the Ghost Fang Nation's schemes. I can take some time to explore the area, and prepare thoroughly for a full-scale exploration later on. Of course, it would be best if we could achieve both goals at once..."

As he was speaking, the Heavenly Official from Jiutian Jinque's voice suddenly faltered, and he lightly exclaimed, "Someone has arrived."

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

The scene in the mirror moved rapidly, reflecting another valley.

The valley was overgrown with weeds, as tall as small trees, lush and abundant, but there was no sign of anyone inside.

Seeing this, the Imperial Inspector from Jiutian Gold Palace spoke in praise: "Your method of concealment is quite good! It's also fortunate that the auspicious cloud's range is so wide, and it happened to pass nearby. If it were any further away, even my Heavenly Vision Talisman wouldn't be able to reveal them."

As he spoke, the Imperial Inspector of the Nine Heavens Golden Palace pointed at the center of the golden mirror. Ripples appeared on its surface, and then four blurry figures emerged.

Four people were hiding among the tall grass, gazing at the wondrous sight of auspicious clouds.

They stood there, apparently discussing something.

“Four people should be able to cause some trouble for the ghost nation...”

>

The Imperial Censor of the Heavenly Ninefold Palace, Man Yi, nodded in satisfaction.

The interior of the Guishan Altar contains relics left over from ancient battles, and there are those with unparalleled luck who have obtained great inheritances left behind by powerful beings on the verge of death.

Here's the translation:

However, after countless years of exploration by Daoists and demons, there are very few remaining treasures. Even if there are any stragglers, they must be in extremely dangerous places, inaccessible to ordinary people.

Time and time again, returning empty-handed.

Nowadays, fewer and fewer cultivators enter the mountain of Qishan.

At this time, four Daoist masters of the Hole-Observing School appeared. They must have been summoned by the methods of the Yundang Sect to scout the way for them.

From afar, he used a divine talisman to investigate. Even the Imperial Inspector of the Nine Heavens Golden Palace was worried about being detected by the other party and did not push the power of the talisman to its peak. Moreover, he recognized the Ghost Bamboo Real Person among the four people.

>

The other three were traveling with You Huang, so they were probably about the same level of strength.

The Celestial Official of the Nine Heavens waved his hand, wiping away the golden mirror and then swiftly cast several talismans, setting up a formation. He was preparing for the plan ahead but didn't notice anything amiss with the people around him.

>

The moment he saw the four figures in the mirror, the black-skinned monster's eyes froze, fixated on one of them.

This person stood at the front of the four, while the others were discussing, he remained silent. His hand clenched and unclenched as he pondered something deeply.

At that moment, the man seemed to sense something and suddenly raised his head.

It was also at this time that the Imperial Inspector of the Nine Heavens Golden Palace removed the Tianjing Fu.

The mirror vanished, but the blurry face remained firmly imprinted in the heart of the black-skinned monster. A look of surprise flashed across its eyes.

"How could it be him! Coincidence Or..."

"That Heavenly Tribulation during his ascension... could it have been him"

The dark-skinned monster's heart was churning with a storm, yet there was no change in his expression.

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

He glanced at the busy official of the Nine Heavens Golden Palace, the black-skinned strange man remained silent, quietly standing by.

In another valley.

Please note that I've removed the original tags as you requested. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang and the others waded through layers of beast hordes, reaching the last mountain range near their target, taking shelter in an uninhabited valley.

"This is the place," Youhuang Zhenren pointed at Xiangyun, with a wistful look on his face. "When I first broke through to the Dongxuan realm, out of curiosity, I explored it with other Daoist friends and saw scenes that were shocking and awe-inspiring."

"I haven't heard you mention this before," Gu Yun said in surprise, "You entered the depths of Xiangyun I only circled the outskirts and returned empty-handed. Have you found any ancient cultivator treasures"

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

The venerable Youhuang shook his head and sneered, "Where are there any ancient treasures left The Dao Court and the Ghost Fang Kingdom have countless masters. Could it be our turn This poor Taoist merely went to broaden his horizons and invigorate his pursuit of the Dao."

“That's also true,” Guyun Zhenren turned his head to look at Zhijian Zhenren, “Will those demon lords enter the depths of Xiangyun If we encounter them inside, it would be hard to guarantee our safety, right”

The Swordmaster has been observing the auspicious clouds in the sky.

The clouds change unpredictably.

He watched for a while and said, "The clouds are not yet settled, it's not the best time to enter. When the clouds stabilize, three sides except the north will show cloud paths similar to this one. Each cloud path appears in a different location, but all point to the same place. That area is considered the boundary between the inside and outside, covering a wide range. The Demon Marquis was active in that area before, so let's first search nearby and take action against any lone demons we encounter. If we have no gains, then we will make plans based on the situation."

The real person You Huang nodded in agreement, "It's not that there are dangers everywhere in the depths of auspicious clouds. Rather, as you go deeper, things gradually change. When you feel danger, stop and wait for the demons to return. Then, you can attack them by surprise."

Several people discussed with each other, one by one.

Qin Sang rarely spoke, focusing both his mind and ears. He listened to their conversation while also pondering the "Seven Masters' Buddha Marks".

In the previous battle, he continuously displayed two kinds of talismans, gradually comprehending some mysteries.

At that moment, Qin Sang suddenly raised his head, feeling the glow of the sun become increasingly dazzling. Beneath the auspicious clouds, there were waves of turbulence.

"The auspicious cloud is about to churn again. We can take this opportunity to enter the auspicious cloud and look for the path within it," Master Zhjian said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded.

They were no more than ten miles from Xiangyun. For cultivators, this distance was negligible, but who knew if demons might have set up a lookout somewhere along the way.

Under the cover of auspicious clouds' movements, it should be able to block most prying eyes.

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

‘Boom!’

The sea of clouds surged and boiled, surging in all directions, but it did not expand too far, as if encountering an invisible wall, and then began to shrink.

When the clouds shift, the glow becomes unbearably bright, and a single glance can blind an ordinary person!

The four of them seemed to be standing in front of the sun, with light shining for thousands of miles!

The True Man of the Execution Sword and the True Man of Pale Bamboo each raised their concealed treasures, shrouding the four people. Qin Sang and the True Man of Lone Cloud retracted their auras.

Four people dashed out of the valley, swiftly moving through the grass and trees. In the blink of an eye, they crossed the middle plain and entered the range of auspicious clouds.

The glow within the auspicious clouds was even more intense, and everyone circulated their spiritual energy to protect their eyes. Their vision became very narrow as well.

Qin Sang was not on this list. Along the way, Tianmu Butterfly was warned to be on guard, but it did not find any other figures.

Here is the translation:

"Whether the auspicious clouds are moving by coincidence or being caused by demons, we should wait a little longer. Let's wait for the cloud path to appear before setting off," the sword-wielding True Man transmitted his voice.

The four nodded silently, following the Sword-wielding True Person deep into the auspicious cloud. After a while, they stopped and waited in place.

After a while, the tremor subsided from within outward, the glow gradually receded. Then, after waiting for a little longer, just as if by magic, a cloud path appeared before them.

(The End)back to the Inner Sea in time. However, all my foundations in the Demon Sea were destroyed overnight. My mood is downcast, and I can't calm down to meditate. So I thought about going for a walk. When...
