essence," but he discovered that this true essence was very peculiar. It contained killing qi, gang qi, and even corpse qi brought about by secret techniques, all converging together.Wú Shāng's idea...Above the Gushan Temple, the entire sky was shrouded in auspicious clouds. Amidst the surging clouds, a dark cloud of tribulation emerged from within the auspicious ones.

>

The rumbling of thunder and the booming of auspicious clouds intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish.

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

Qin Sang looked up and saw the dark clouds parting to reveal auspicious clouds, converging above his head. Gray lightning raced through the clouds, making the storm clouds even more ominous.

"Grey Lightning!"

Qin Sang's expression darkened.

As expected, the Heavenly Eye Butterfly and he came from the same world, and during their tribulation, they also had to go through the baptism of the Ascension Thunder Tribulation.

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

The Heavenly Eye Butterfly has the ability to devour calamity lightning. In case of emergency, it can also offer help.

Qin Sang was not worried about the safety of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly, but he was concerned that his ascension tribulation would be seen by others, which might attract unnecessary trouble.

At a glance, the courtyard was vast, surrounded by ancient barriers. It seemed to be some kind of spirit formation, but they couldn't find the location of its base.

An ancient formation created a golden light curtain, though it couldn't completely block the view between inside and outside. It was not easy for outsiders to clearly see the layout of the courtyard.

Four Earth Immortals joined forces, barely managing to open a gap and send Qin Sang in.

Qin Sang set up the Xingyuan Stone Grand Formation under the pretense of helping Ling Chong cross the tribulation, but he also intended to separate the inside from the outside.

Two spirit arrays layered together, even if they cannot completely block outside scrutiny, can also confuse their judgment.

After all, this place is different from the outside world. Calamity clouds are born in auspicious clouds, and the two are inextricably linked. The multicolored auspicious clouds reflect a kaleidoscope of colors, lavishly painting the calamity clouds, with dazzling lights everywhere. There are also flashes of silver light, and it's hard to distinguish true from false from afar.

As Qin Sang's thoughts moved, he poured all his power into the Starstone. A dazzling starlight erupted instantly, overlapping with the fourfold barrier formation to create a heavy light curtain.

However, this measure could only conceal the celestial phenomena. The oppression and fluctuations brought by the heavenly tribulation were impossible to completely block, and they were gradually spreading outwards.

Outside the courtyard.

Three real people set up a killing array, secretly vigilant, sensing the fluctuations of heavenly tribulation, they couldn't help but look in the direction of the courtyard.

Vaguely visible are celestial clouds surging like a waterfall, with flashes of strange light, creating a scene of chaos.

The pressure of the tribulation passed over, it didn't seem as weak as expected.

But even in this world, five-change spirit worms are very rare. Spirit worm cultivation is slow, and raising spirit worms is more difficult than training demon soldiers. Even Daoist disciples of the orthodox tradition rarely choose spirit worms as their troops.

Few people have ever witnessed a spirit worm crossing the Five Tribulations of Heaven.

The Heavenly Tribulation caused auspicious clouds to churn and roil. The violent oscillations and oppressive might of the tribulation overlaid each other, making it impossible to distinguish one from the other. However, the three real people remained unchanged in expression, quickly shifting their focus back to their surroundings.

Because of the special environment here, only those nearby can see the changes in the celestial phenomena, but the fluctuations can influence a great distance.

Just then, Zhijian the True Man spoke in a deep voice: "Someone is here!"

Two figures locked eyes, following the Sword Master's gaze eastward.

Everywhere you look, there are palaces and pavilions, but there is no sign of people.

The two of them focused their senses, and they could clearly feel a faint aura rapidly approaching. It had been detected by the carefully prepared defensive formation they had set up, evidently drawn here by the celestial tribulation.

The other party was still some distance away from them, it was unclear if they were human or a demon.

“Two!”

The ethereal scholar spoke in a low voice.

Three people fell silent, restraining their breath and preparing to activate the killing formation at any moment.

The other party was no reckless fool either. They raced forward for a while, but just as they neared, they suddenly slowed down, cast a spell to conceal their presence, and cautiously approached.

At this time, the Heavenly Tribulation of the Sky-Gazing Butterfly had already completed its final brewing.

Qin Sang transformed into a spiritwood body, holding the Ding Zhen Dan. Whoever dares to interfere with Tianmu Die's tribulation will surely face his full retaliation.

***Rumble...***

The tribulation of transformation for spiritual insects is only a thunder tribulation, which is precisely their unique advantage.

Gray lightning snakes converged, forming a vortex of thunder at the heart of the storm cloud, pointing directly at the Sky-Eye Butterfly below.

Perhaps because the master was by its side, the Heavenly Eye Butterfly felt no fear or unease in its consciousness. Its wings flapped once, and a blue light rippled like waves, actually moving towards the robbery cloud.

'Click!'

Thunderclap of doom.

There was no blinding lightning, and the courtyard suddenly plunged into darkness.

The power of the thunder within the robbery cloud was hidden, pouring down without warning. At the same time the tribulation lightning struck, the robbery cloud slowly dissipated.

Just like the breakthrough of the four transformations, the five-transformation tribulation of Ling Chong also only has one tribulation thunder!

But the power and might of the tribulation lightning was unlike anything seen before, especially after the change, the ascension tribulation!

Here is the text translated into English:***Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate.*** I'm ready!

A gigantic gray lightning bolt erupted from the heart of the storm cloud. As the storm cloud churned, countless arcs of electricity cascaded down, dense and numerous like a sudden storm, instantly weaving a net in the air.

All lightning strikes are aimed at the Sky-Eyed Butterfly. They converge towards the central lightning pillar halfway through, and finally, like a torrent of thunder, instantly engulf their target!

Qin Sang's expression was solemn, and he could vaguely see the butterfly shadow within the tribulation thunder.

The Tianmu butterfly bathed in the thunder, its wings trembling violently. The Tianmu's eyes blazed with fury, and two bolts of azure lightning shot out instantly.

The lightning struck the thunderbolt directly, a fierce storm scattering around, reducing everything in the courtyard to dust.

Meanwhile, countless sparks danced and flickered in the celestial eye.

Compared to the mighty bolt of lightning, these arcs were small but possessed a strange power. They touched the bolts and dyed them blue before being swallowed by the heavenly eye.

To this day, the Tianmu Butterfly may not be able to provide much help to Qin Sang in weathering a tribulation, but its ability to devour tribulation thunder makes her fearless of tribulation threats, something no other spirit insect can compare to.

Throughout it all, the butterfly of Tianmu never once entertained thoughts of seeking help.

The scattered lightning bolts were almost swallowed by the Tianmu Butterfly, while the main body of the lightning was shattered into a large chunk by two blue flashes.

If it were a normal heavenly tribulation, it should have been near its end. But this is a gray tribulation lightning, its might still ferocious.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every streak of azure lightning struck the thunder, yet it couldn't halt its relentless advance. The Sky-Eye Butterfly showed no signs of surrender, flapping its wings incessantly, stubbornly resisting the thunder in a desperate struggle.

Qin Sang's heart couldn't help but feel a little nervous, his figure moved slightly, and he was about to make a move.

One is worried that the Sky-Eye Butterfly will be injured, and the other is a warning from the Sword Master, someone is approaching and is ready to fight at any time!

Just then, Tianmu Die suddenly made an unexpected move. She closed her wings tightly, as if giving up resistance. A blue light flickered on her body, and the halo surrounding her quickly solidified, forming a transparent, invisible light film that covered her whole body.

‘Boom!’

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

The remaining bolts of lightning struck the light film heavily.

Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat, and he flashed to stand beside Tianmu Butterfly. He held back and didn't attack.

As can be seen, the imposing bolt of lightning, upon striking the light film, disintegrated layer by layer into countless arcs from the point of contact. Its momentum was instantly diminished.

The next moment, two bolts of lightning shot out from the light film, completely shattering the bolt of thunder!

The Sky-Eye Butterfly flapped its wings and rose, unharmed. It danced among the scattered arcs of electricity, devouring the remaining stray lightning power. Finally, its body shrunk to that of an ordinary butterfly, circling Qin Sang joyfully before landing on his shoulder, as if taking credit for its feat.

Qin Sang was a little surprised, staring at Tianmudie. He guessed that the light membrane that Tianmudie had comprehended after its metamorphosis was a new divine ability. Judging from its performance, it should be a kind of body-protecting divine ability.

The Lingchong practice their supernatural powers in solitude. Except for some special groups, most of them have fragile bodies, which is why Qin Sang didn't dare to let the Tianmu Butterfly take risks before.

Having broken through the fifth transformation, I finally grasped the protective divine ability, making up for Tianmu Die's biggest weakness.

Qin Sang couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, but there was no time to test the power of his new divine ability at the moment. The uninvited guest was already approaching!

Casting a glance outwards, Qin Sang immediately commanded Tianmu Die to return to his dantian. Tianmu Die snuggled close to Qin Sang, still intoxicated by the excitement of metamorphosis, reluctantly flapping its wings a few times before flying back into his dantian.

The courtyard's barrier was difficult to enter and exit. Qin Sang raised his hand and pressed against the luminous wall. A flash of light appeared, and he stepped out into the open before leaping towards the alleyway between the two golden halls.

There are already five people in the alley, facing off against each other.

On one side were three real people, but the other side was a strange combination. One was a white-haired old Taoist priest, and the other was a young monk with shaved head and a scar on his forehead wearing Buddhist robes!

A monk and a Taoist priest were suddenly blocked by three real people, startled, their faces full of vigilance.

The expressions of the three real people were also a bit strange, they glanced at each other, but instead of attracting the demon marquis, they attracted two cultivators.

"It turned out to be Zhang Zhenren and Zhenru Venerable."

The solitary cloud master paid respects and recognized the two people.

“Master Gūyún, Master Yūhuáng, this must be Master Zhíjiàn! It's an honor to finally meet you!”

The white-haired old Daoist, that is, the Zhang Zhenren, gently shook his whisk and bowed in return.

They all came from Mount Jiuzhang. It's rare to find masters of Mount Jiuzhang's profound inner workings, and even if they hadn't met before, they had heard of each other.

This Zhang Zhenren originated from a sect named Yiwumen outside Xingdao Xianhu. The Yiwumen is located near Jingtai Temple, the sect of Zhenru's master. The proximity of Jingtai Temple and Yiwumen is a rare occurrence in this world, representing a unique Buddhist lineage.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Sang stood beside him, seeing this scene he was also a little surprised, couldn't help but look at the monk twice more.

The two uninvited guests were both cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage. The old Taoist was particularly noteworthy, as Qin Sang discovered that he was a cultivator of the Nascent Soul mid-stage, the highest realm present in the field.

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

His arrival drew all eyes to him. Zhang Zhenren sized him up and said, "This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. Were you just crossing the tribulation It seems to be a misunderstanding."

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

At this time, the True Man of the Sword also transmitted a voice, explaining the origins of the two people.

“So it’s Zhang Zhenren and True Venerable Zhenru, this poor Daoist Qingfeng, deeply disrespectful! Deeply disrespectful!” Qin Sang nodded slightly and bowed in greeting.

As fellow human cultivators, they couldn't possibly fight each other. Even though they outnumbered the others, since they had come to hunt down the demon marquis, none of them wanted any unnecessary trouble.

The True Man with the Sword interjected, "Are the two Daoist friends also here for the Daoist School's summons"

He cut to the chase and asked his question directly.

With fewer harvests in the mountain fields, few people come here anymore. It's quite a coincidence to meet them.

Zhang Zhenren was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Master Zhenru, you have long wanted to come to Mount Jizhan to observe the great magical powers. By chance, I received news at the Daoist court and wished to invite you to accompany me here. Shortly after arriving, I sensed the fluctuation of the heavenly tribulation, so I came to have a look. It seems that all of you real people are also here for this reason"

>

Since we've gotten this off our chest, the atmosphere gradually eased.

The Taoist You Huang couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoists, how long have you been here Have you found any trace of the Demon Marquis"

"I wouldn't have wandered aimlessly like this if there was another way," Zhang Zhenren shook his head slowly, paused for a moment, and said, "Since we all have the same goal, why not join forces What do you think"

Qin Sang and his group weren't opposed to this. More people meant more shared credit, but it also represented more opportunities.

"What plan does True Master Zhang have for cooperating with us against the enemy" asked True Master Zhijian on behalf of everyone.

Zhang Zhenren looked towards the distant, layered golden halls. "This place is so vast, searching every inch, when can we find our target I'm afraid that by the time we find them, they will have achieved their goal and vanished. Perhaps we should split into two groups, leave contact methods with each other, and join forces to hunt down the demons once we discover our target!"

Upon hearing this, the four of them exchanged glances. In fact, they had previously agreed to search for the leader separately.

But it's unclear how many demon marquises have infiltrated this place. Worried about suddenly encountering a powerful enemy, outnumbered and alone, I would rather spend more time.

Zhang Zhenren and Zhenru Venerable, although only two people, Zhang Zhenren was a renowned powerhouse with unpredictable divine powers.

The True Person Zhijian nodded and handed over a sword talisman, "Well then, the two fellow Daoists have discovered demons. Activate this talisman, and I will know."

Chang Zhenren gladly accepted it and gave him a jade disc.

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

Next, both parties will summarize their findings. Qin Sang and his group have been searching for so long, and coupled with the route Zhang Zhenren and his party took, they have already searched half of the Golden Palace.

After the agreement, everyone immediately dispersed to take action.

The ambush failed, Qin Sang and the others withdrew their killing formation and continued along their original route.

Qin Sang had thought it would take some effort to explain things, but luckily all three were discerning individuals and didn't press him for details about the spiritual insect. He was relieved.

Along the way, Qin Sang sank part of his mind into his Qi Sea, communicating with the Heavenly Eye Butterfly.

The state of the Tianmu Butterfly is excellent. After its advancement, its realm surpasses the limits of the Lu Fu Altar, but no signs of mental confusion have been detected.

After its metamorphosis, the Tianmu Butterfly's appearance didn't change significantly. Its intelligence had increased, but it was still a distance away from being able to communicate with humans without any obstacles. Qin Sang couldn't help but sigh.

Although spirits are not subject to the tribulation of the Nine Heavens, their path to cultivation is also arduous.

Without the opportunity to test out her new abilities, Tianmu Die also focused on digesting the gains from her transformation and familiarizing herself with her newfound powers.

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

Qin Sang recalled the scene of crossing the tribulation, secretly analyzing that when the tribulation thunder condensed with lightning struck the light film, it clearly split into arcs, its momentum and power greatly diminished.

This couldn't help but remind Qin Sang of a legendary supernatural power - the innate separation and reunion divine light!

It is said that this divine light separation technique can break down and reconstruct all things. Masters of this art can even directly transform an opponent's supernatural powers back to their fundamental spiritual energy. Even if they have never encountered such a power before, they can easily decipher and counter the opponent's attack.

The new divine ability of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly certainly isn't this overpowered, but its performance seems to have a similar level of power.

Thinking about this, Qin Sang was a little impatient.

It had already been the third day since the two armies separated, when a thunderous roar suddenly woke Qin Sang.

Whoosh!

Four people rushed to a high place, and they saw a crimson fire cloud rising in front of them. The fire cloud soared into the sky, causing the entire golden palace to tremble.

The next moment, a golden light shot out from the destroyed Golden Temple, flying toward the rear like lightning, disappearing into the Nine-Curve Star River in the blink of an eye.

>

Immediately after, a shadowy figure flew out from within the fire cloud and charged into the Nine Curves Galaxy. This instantly caused the galaxy to tremble, with its light shining brightly, surging toward the intruder.

"Demon!"

The Swordmaster Jian, with a low bellow, dashed forward in pursuit. The three of them swiftly followed after him.
