Qin Sang didn't know if the Confused God Mirror was considered a formation. If not, this gathering spirit formation was the first formation he had learned.

This was actually the most superficial gathering spirit formation, and it would consume a batch of spirit stones after a period of time. The medicine garden was planted with very common spirit medicines in the world of cultivation, and the value was not high. It would definitely not be worth the loss to cultivate them with the gathering spirit formation.

Anyway, the spirit stones were not his, so Qin Sang didn't need to feel sorry.

The only drawback was that if someone found out, they would wonder how a beginner like him could have such a rich fortune.

Fortunately, Qin Sang had no friends, and no one came to him on weekdays. He only needed to ask Senior Brother Meng and Senior Brother Jiang to put away the spirit gathering array before they came to collect herbs. Qin Sang could barely meet his requirements every time, and the two senior brothers would not embarrass him, so they had been living in peace.

There was no time in the mountains, and more than a year had passed.

Late at night that day, Qin Sang controlled the magic eye and spied on the Huiyang Valley array for the third time.

At this time, the magic eye's sight had turned to the west. According to Qin Sang's estimation, his mission would be completed in another three or four months.

In the past year, Qin Sang had been confined to Huiyang Valley and had only seen Yu Hua twice, both of which were contacts made by Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan's tone had become more and more urgent when he urged him, which made Qin Sang have a hunch that the moment their mission was completed, it might be the time of great changes!

Feeling that the spiritual power in his body was about to be exhausted, Qin Sang put away the magic eye and escaped back to the cave.

His realm was not high, and the spiritual energy of the Yuanzhao Sect was far more than enough, so he did not need to rely on the spirit gathering array.

Sitting cross-legged on the bamboo mat in the water, Qin Sang looked inward. Thanks to the afterglow of the century-old stone milk, his cultivation had improved rapidly in the past year, and he was only a step away from the eighth level.

Today, he finally sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough. Qin Sang hurriedly took out the God-confusing Mirror and placed it at the entrance of the cave, sinking into meditation.

Ten days later, Qin Sang came out of retreat, looking refreshed, and wanted to roar to the sky. Such a long period of hard work was finally not in vain, and he successfully broke through.

Today was the day to collect herbs. Not long after Qin Sang put away the spirit gathering array, Meng Ruhui and Senior Brother Jiang came together. After discovering that Qin Sang had broken through again, the two were extremely surprised. After collecting herbs, they left unhappily. Qin Sang saw them off respectfully without showing any smugness. It would not benefit him at all to offend them.

At the end of the month, Zhao Yan arrived again.

Zhao Yan and others were at the entrance of the valley. When they saw Qin Sang flying out on a magic weapon, they were stunned and exclaimed, "You have made a breakthrough again?"

Qin Sang landed and saluted, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Zhao, for breaking through the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage!"

A smug look appeared on Zhao Yan's face, but he immediately restrained it. He did not hide his jealous eyes, "I can't compare to you who can break through two levels in a year."

Qin Sang said he didn't dare, "I am also grateful to the master for giving me the Qi Gathering Pill, which is why I am where I am today. When Senior Brother Zhao makes great contributions and returns to the sect, the master will certainly not be stingy with his rewards. I can only envy you."

As expected, Zhao Yan laughed proudly and felt that Qin Sang looked more pleasing to the eye than before. His eyes flickered, and I don't know what he was thinking.

Here is the corrected version of your text:

---

After seeing Zhao Yan off, Qin Sang stood in the empty valley, staring at the afterglow of the setting sun, motionless for a long time.

Zhao Yan had just ordered him to activate his magic eyes to spy on all the changes in the Huiyang Valley formation within two months.

In other words, the calm time was only two months at most.

Fortunately, he had never stopped practicing the "Song Family Sword Art," and he was about to break through. When he realized the sword energy, it would be his most powerful support.

Qin Sang stood there for a long time, then suddenly took out the Bi Bo Sword from the mustard bag, flew out to look at Huiyang Valley, and finally came to the river at the bottom of the valley. He jumped in, swinging his sword to chop at a hidden stone wall at the bottom of the river.

Qin Sang was going to build a shelter for himself at the bottom of the river to avoid the most intense battle after the formation was broken.

He didn't understand the various formations of the immortal cultivators, but he could use the mechanisms of the mortal world, plus the cover of the river water, to hide the shelter.

He had read countless secret books when he was in the Blood Clothes Building and learned several practical mechanisms. Unless a high-level cultivator used his spiritual sense to search every inch, it was difficult to find the existence of the mechanism.

Over the past two months, Qin Sang had overturned the plan several times, perfected various details, and finally built the shelter.

The formation at the entrance of the valley was suddenly triggered by someone. Qin Sang flew out of the cave with a thoughtful look on his face. He did not open the formation directly but returned to the cave to set up the God-confusing Mirror to prevent Zhao Yan from killing him.

After arranging the backup plan, Qin Sang opened the formation at the entrance of the valley as if nothing had happened, but found that it was Yu Hua, whom he had not seen for a long time. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. If Yu Hua wanted to kill him, he would not be able to resist at all!

"Qin Sang greets Uncle Yu."

Qin Sang suppressed his uneasiness and saluted Yu Hua.

Yu Hua nodded slightly and then asked impatiently, "Did you finish it?"

Qin Sang nodded. "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."

When he summoned the magic eye, Yu Hua immediately reached out and grabbed it, probing into it with his spiritual sense.

After a moment, he said in ecstasy, "Haha... Junior Brother Qin really lived up to my expectations!" Then, Qin Sang felt that the connection between the magic eye and himself was cut off. While he suddenly felt nervous, he also felt a lot more relaxed.

Yu Hua put away the magic eye and said to Qin Sang, "Junior Brother Qin, leave a sound transmission note to confuse the vision. Come with me, you don't have to stay in Huiyang Valley."

Qin Sang was stunned. He was very glad that Yu Hua did not turn his face and be ruthless, but he definitely had no intention of returning to Kuiyin Sect.

He did not have a deep-rooted concept of good and evil, but in the past year, except for the threat of Kuiyin Sect like a sword hanging over his head, his life had been very peaceful.

All he wanted was to find a sect to cultivate immortals and practice in peace, instead of always being worried.

For his own life, he would rather be a casual cultivator than return to Kuiyin Sect.

Qin Sang thought of this and said worriedly, "If we leave now, if Senior Brother Meng and the others come, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide it for long..."

Yu Hua sneered. "Yuan Zhao Sect will soon be gone. What else is there to hide?"

Qin Sang was awed. Following Yu Hua's instructions, he returned to his cave and put away the Confusion Mirror. Before leaving, he looked back at the shelter he had carefully arranged, with a self-deprecating look on his face.

Yu Hua's cave was in Muyang Peak. Qin Sang followed behind him. After entering Yu Hua's cave, he found that there were three people. One of them was Ruan Nanfeng, who entered Yuan Zhao Sect with him. The other two were a man and a woman, strangers Qin Sang had never seen before, both wearing the clothes of errand disciples.

These two might have been lurking here before him.

There must be more than just these few people that Kuiyin Sect had planted in Yuan Zhao Sect. Why were there only three people?

Qin Sang was secretly wondering and suddenly had an idea. He secretly used the Qi-Looking Technique to see that the cultivation of these three people was the same as his—eighth level of Qi Refining Stage!

Yu Hua nodded to Zhao Yan, who looked anxious, and swept his eyes over Qin Sang and the other three. He said in a deep voice, "Wu Liuyue and the others have been secretly sent out of Yuan Zhao Sect. The reason why you are left here is because you have the highest cultivation level. There is one thing that requires your help, Master Zhao. As long as you complete this task, you will have made a great achievement. Not only will you be rewarded with the Foundation Building Pill, but the Sect Master has also promised to personally accept you as his disciple."

The four looked at each other.

Qin Sang was even more stunned. He practiced desperately to have more power to protect himself when escaping, but he didn't expect that he would be trapped in his own cocoon and fall into a more dangerous vortex.

The Foundation Building Pill, becoming a disciple of Master Jindan—Qin Sang was indeed very tempted, but he had to live to get it.

Kuiyin Sect was already aware of all the changes in the Yuanzhao Sect's protective formation. They only needed to break the formation by force. Master Jindan could make them disappear with a snap of his fingers. What could they do?

Yu Hua didn't mean to explain to them, so he asked them to sit quietly and practice.

Nothing happened overnight.

Late at night the next day, Yu Hua suddenly left. Zhao Yan threw a jade waist badge to each of them and said in a cold tone, "Follow me in a while. Whoever dares to make a sound or move without my order will be killed immediately. Do you understand?"

Qin Sang and the others looked at each other, and no one dared to object.

Zhao Yan smiled contemptuously, and his lips moved slightly.

Then, a series of screams suddenly rang out in the cave. Including Qin Sang, the four of them held their heads tightly, rolled on the ground, and wailed.

Qin Sang had already practiced this action countless times in private. Now, without getting hurt so badly, he could do it about 80% of the time.

The four people's faces were pale, and they stood up staggeringly, with a strong sense of panic in their eyes.

Zhao Yan said calmly, "I just want you to know that I can control your life and death with just a thought. We are all from the same sect, so don't force me to kill you. Just be obedient and follow my orders, and you will benefit from it."

"Yes!"

...

Qin Sang and the other four put on their badges and followed Zhao Yan obediently, trailing him all the way to Yuanzhao Peak.

They actually came here at this time.

Qin Sang followed behind uneasily. He had been confined to Huiyang Valley. He tried to go out several times at first, but was blocked by Zhao Yan. This was the first time he was so close to Yuanzhao Peak.

The sky was gloomy, without stars or moon, and it was pitch black.

The mountain presented a huge shadow in the dark night. The top of the mountain could not be seen at a glance. There were a few places on the mountain with lights on. Qin Sang remembered that the top of the mountain was where the Supreme Sect Master was in seclusion, and other places were also forbidden areas of the sect. There was a large lake at the foot of Yuanzhao Peak, and three peaks were arranged around the lake, forming a protective posture. The main hall of the sect leader was on the top of one of the peaks, which was called the Sect Leader Peak.

As they approached the Sect Leader's Peak, two beams of light flashed in front of them and flew toward them. At the same time, a voice shouted, "Who are you?"

Zhao Yan immediately signaled them to stop.

Two beams of light flew in front of them, revealing the figures of two young men.

Here is the revised version with corrected grammar:

---

Seeing Zhao Yan, the two men's expressions eased a little, and one of them asked, "So it's you, Junior Brother Zhao. What brings you to the Master's Peak so late at night?"

Zhao Yan bowed respectfully. "Hello, Senior Brothers. Uncle Yu sent a message saying that there are some chores in the Master's Hall that need help. He asked me to take a few Junior Brothers up the mountain and leave at dawn tomorrow."

"Miscellaneous chores?"

The two looked at each other in confusion, but after seeing the jade waist badges hanging on Qin Sang and the others, they did not ask any more questions. "Junior Brother Zhao, you should be clear about the rules on the mountain. Don't let the Junior Brothers break any taboos, otherwise, we will have a hard time explaining it."

Zhao Yan quickly responded, "Don't worry, Senior Brothers, I will keep a close eye on them."

The two nodded and made way.

Zhao Yan led them to the foot of the Master's Peak and then walked up the mountain along the stone steps leading to the top, but did not go straight to the Master's Hall. Instead, he slipped into a fork in the road, and Qin Sang and the other four followed closely.

Along the way, they also met several senior brothers. Zhao Yan had his own excuses to fool them. The five of them finally entered a remote wooden building. The building looked dilapidated and had been in disrepair for a long time, but there was no smell of decay.

This wooden building was on the back mountain of the Master's Peak. Standing downstairs and looking out, one could clearly see Yuanzhao Peak and the big lake at the foot of the mountain.

Zhao Yan stretched his head to look outside, then closed the door, took out four palm-sized triangular cloud flags from his mustard bag, and gave one to each of the four people. He transmitted the message: "This is the cloud flag that the master personally refined. It is a forbidden instrument of the Four Cloud Divine Prohibition. It must be controlled by the five of us to activate it. Each of you will sacrifice one now, and you will use it later."

Qin Sang took the triangular cloud flag and found that the triangular cloud flags in the hands of the four people were different.

The flag in his hand was covered with water-blue cloud patterns. Holding it, he felt an extremely abundant water-element energy rushing toward him, as if he were in a river, lake, or sea.

Ruan Nanfeng held a fiery red cloud pattern, while the other two held yellow and cyan patterns.

Qin Sang had no idea what the Four Cloud Divine Forbidden Techniques were, but the name of the forbidden instruments was very famous. It was said that there were immortal cultivators who were proficient in formations and could refine some strange instruments based on their understanding of formations to form a set of forbidden instruments.

As long as the forbidden instruments were placed in a specific position, part of the power of the formation could be exerted, and the time consumed was much less than the actual formation.

Qin Sang grabbed the triangular cloud flag and, according to Zhao Yan's order, probed his spiritual sense into the flag. His vision suddenly changed, and he found that the triangular cloud flag revealed an endless water surface, with dazzling silver lights appearing and disappearing in the water, as if countless lightnings were swimming in the water.

Just as Qin Sang was puzzled, he suddenly saw a figure standing on the water with his hands behind his back. It was Yi Tiannie, the head of the Kuiyin Sect!

Qin Sang was startled and hurriedly said respectfully, "Qin Sang greets the head!"

Yi Tiannie stood there speechless, expressionless.

Seeing this scene, Qin Sang laughed at himself. How could Yi Tiannie appear here? He was truly a frightened bird. However, since this set of forbidden instruments was made by Yi Tiannie himself, could it be that he left some power in it?

Qin Sang didn't know what was going on, so he had to follow the method of sacrifice and refining that Zhao Yan had passed on to him to sacrifice the triangular cloud flag.

The four of them did the same, and the wooden building was silent.

Not long after, the four triangular cloud flags behaved abnormally one after another. Wisps of cloud gas floated out of the flags, with electric snakes galloping in the clouds, and faint thunder roars could be heard.

At this time, Zhao Yan, who was standing aside, raised a transparent gem and absorbed the electric light in the clouds. The wooden building immediately returned to silence.

Time passed.

Qin Sang and the others had already finished refining the forbidden instruments and sat in the wooden building waiting. Until now, they had not seen Yu Hua's figure. They didn't know where he had gone, but being watched by Zhao Yan, Qin Sang couldn't find a chance to prepare the ebony sword at all, so he could only endure.

After an unknown amount of time, the ground suddenly shook.

A thunderous roar came from the Master's Peak: "Who is it!"

Zhao Yan's face was overjoyed, and he pulled open the wooden door. He saw a huge yin-yang double fish picture appear above Yuanzhao Peak, slowly rotating in the night sky. It was the manifestation of the Yuanzhao Sect's protective formation.

Above the double fish picture, there was an endless rolling black flame, covering the sky and the sun.

The wind was howling, and ghosts were looming in the raging devil flames. The hissing sound was breathtaking. It seemed as though there were hundreds of ghosts walking at night outside, and countless evil spirits were fiercely attacking the Yuanzhao Sect's protective formation, one after another.

Someone laughed: "Old ghost Ji, did you ever think about today when you attacked me in the ancient immortal battlefield?"

Ten thousand ghosts shouted together, the mountains of Yuanzhao Sect shook, and huge waves surged in the lake.

At this moment, a deafening bell sounded from Yuanzhao Peak, resounding through the sky.

The ringing of this bell foreshadowed the great disaster for the master!

'Swoosh...'

Yuanzhao Sect suddenly became chaotic, and beams of light rose into the sky from all parts of the inner sect. All the disciples looked at the terrifying scene in the sky in panic, not knowing what had happened.

Zhao Yan closed the wooden door and said in a deep voice: "Form a formation! Perform the escape technique!"

Qin Sang's heart was awed. The four people changed their steps, each holding a flag, and took their positions in the four directions—front, back, left, and right of Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan held the jade in his palm. Following his command, Qin Sang and the other two held up the triangular cloud flags, muttering something.

Qin Sang felt that the triangular cloud flags in his hands were like a bottomless pit, madly devouring the spiritual power in his body, but fortunately, it didn't last long.

The four triangular cloud flags fluttered, and four colors of clouds gushed out, covering the five people. From the outside, the five of them disappeared from the spot.

Zhao Yan shouted: "Let's go!"

The five of them quietly left the wooden building and went straight down the mountain.

...

Yuanzhao Peak, in front of the cave of the Supreme Sect Master.

The stone door was tightly closed. Xuan Chengzi, the current head of Yuanzhao Sect, paced back and forth outside the cave, sometimes looking up at the sky, sometimes staring at the door of the cave, anxious.

At this time, rays of light also flew down from below, landing around Xuan Chengzi. The visitors were all the heads of various halls.

"Head, the enemy is coming with great force. The Zhenxie Bell has already rung, and the Supreme Sect Master hasn't come out yet?" A red-faced old man asked anxiously.

Xuan Chengzi looked bitter, opened his mouth, and was about to speak when the stone door suddenly opened, and a deep voice came from inside, "Come in and talk."

Everyone looked overjoyed and filed in.

"Disciple greets the Grand Master!"

Everyone saluted together. Xuan Chengzi raised his head and said anxiously, "Master, the demon suddenly attacked without any warning. Disciple only had time to activate the formation and still does not know the origin of the demon. The demon flames outside are raging. Please, Master, make the decision..."

The Grand Master of Yuanzhao Sect had white hair and a beard, but his face looked like that of a young man. He kept his head slightly raised, staring at the sky, and his gaze seemed to pierce through the cave to the outside of the formation.

"I already know that the enemy is the old demon Yi from the Kuiyin Sect, and the three Golden Elixir demons from the Kuiyin Sect have arrived together."

Here's the corrected version of the text with improved grammar and sentence structure:

---

"Three Jindan masters!" 

Everyone was shocked, but then the Grand Master delivered even more shocking news: "I just contacted Junior Brother Gu. After he came out of retreat, he found that the Bagua Forbidden Land was blocked by a strange forbidden method. This method is mysterious and difficult to solve. It may be difficult to break the ban and come to our aid in a short time."

Seeing everyone panic, the Grand Master smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. The two Yuanying cultivators, invited by the ancestor to set up the sect protection formation, will not be easily overcome by a few Jindan cultivators. You should now ring the Zhenxie Bell and summon the foundation-building disciples to the mountain to jointly control the formation to resist the enemy. I have sent a message for help. When several Taoist friends arrive, the crisis will be resolved."

As Xuan Chengzi and the others left the cave in fear, the smile on the Grand Master's face immediately disappeared. His expression became extremely solemn. His figure gradually faded, disappearing from the cave and appearing above the sect protection formation.

The devil flames surged. After the Grand Master of Yuanzhao Sect appeared, Yi Tiannie's figure also emerged from the devil flame.

---

At this time, Zhao Yan led Qin Sang and the other four down from the Master Peak and jumped directly into the lake.

The earth continued to shake, the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake rose, the waves shook, and the river water became extremely turbid. The five of them took advantage of the chaos at the bottom of the lake to dive quickly.

As they descended, they could only see the turbid lake water. They didn't know how deep they had dived. Suddenly, a ray of light appeared ahead. Zhao Yan immediately ordered them to slow down and approach the light quietly.

Finally, they arrived near the light, and they saw a beautiful scene unfold before them.

A clam shell as large as a house opened its mouth and lay quietly at the bottom of the lake. Around the clam shell, exotic flowers vied for beauty, water plants swayed, and a layer of white sand covered the ground, scattered with countless gems, resembling a fairy palace beneath the sea.

It seemed that an invisible barrier surrounded the clam shell, as the mud and sand couldn't invade this space, and it remained peaceful.

Zhao Yan signaled for them to stop, and the five stood motionless in the turbid lake water, concealed by the Four Clouds Divine Ban.

Qin Sang was secretly astonished at the magnificent sight ahead. When he heard Senior Brother Zhu describe the forbidden areas inside Yuanzhao Sect, he had never heard of such a mysterious place at the bottom of the lake.

This enormous clam shell was obviously not ordinary. What could be inside that warranted Zhao Yan risking his life to visit?

Before Qin Sang could ponder further, two figures suddenly emerged from the clam shell—one tall, one short—both cultivators at the foundation-building stage.

Upon their appearance, the five of them, including Zhao Yan, grew nervous. The two sides were so close—could the Four Clouds Divine Ban really conceal their presence?

Just as they were feeling uneasy, the two foundation-building cultivators stood outside the clam shell and looked up.

At that moment, Qin Sang and the others heard the faint sound of bells, knowing that the Zhenxie Bell of Yuanzhao Sect had been struck again.

The Zhenxie Bell rang nine times in succession, and the faces of the two cultivators changed slightly.

The shorter monk hurriedly said, "Brother Miao, the Zhenxie Bell has rung nine times. It seems that the enemy is coming with great force. The sect is summoning all foundation-building monks to operate the formation to resist the enemy. What should we do?"

Brother Miao frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "When the Zhenxie Bell rings, all disciples must obey orders, or they will be punished according to sect rules. Since you didn't deliberately inform us, we can only follow the order. However, we must leave someone here to keep watch. Brother, stay put for now. I will go up to wait and explain the situation to the head brother. He will surely understand."

The two exchanged a few more words in a low voice, and Brother Miao controlled a magic weapon to break through the water and rushed away. After watching Brother Miao's figure disappear, the shorter monk returned to the clam shell, a worried look on his face.

---

Zhao Yan frowned, pondered for a moment, then ordered Qin Sang and the others to stay put. He took out a huge ghost flag from his mustard seed bag. The flag was as tall as a person. Qin Sang initially thought it was a large-sized Yama flag, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was very different. This ghost flag was engraved with countless evil spirits, all eager to escape and highly malevolent.

What surprised Qin Sang even more was that the ghost flag was not a magic weapon, but appeared to be... a type of magic artifact?

Ordinarily, one cannot use magic weapons without reaching the pill formation stage. The ebony sword, for example, is a fragment of a magic weapon, re-refined by a weapon refiner before Qin Sang could use it.

Could it be that Zhao Yan could control magic weapons?

Qin Sang silently thanked himself for not acting rashly, while he observed Zhao Yan's movements, still controlling the triangular cloud flag.

Zhao Yan held the precious jade in one hand and the ghost flag in the other. He brought the jade close to the flag and muttered something. At that moment, the evil spirits on the flag came to life, baring their fangs and claws, trying to break free from the flag to rush into the world.

"Whoosh!"

A cold wind suddenly arose, and countless ghost mists surged out of the ghost banner. The evil spirits rushed out of the flag and surrounded Zhao Yan. He was immediately cloaked in the dark fog, his figure unseen.

Only Zhao Yan could be heard groaning, and no one knew what he was doing inside. Gradually, the evil spirits calmed down.

Then, Zhao Yan shouted, "Go!"

The ghost flag, carrying the evil spirits, flew directly out of the Four Clouds Divine Forbidden Zone and toward the clam shell. The movement was so loud that the shorter monk, inside the clam shell, noticed it immediately.

"Who is it!" he exclaimed.

When he saw the ghost flag flying toward him, he cried, "A magic weapon!"

He knew the significance of a magic weapon and was filled with fear. He quickly sacrificed a golden bowl magic weapon, summoning a layer of golden light to shield himself.

At the same time, a flying sword appeared in his palm. He pointed it upwards and poured his spiritual power into the sword, preparing to send a message.

Unexpectedly, when the ghost flag neared him, the ghost mist suddenly expanded several times, and the golden light from the golden bowl did nothing to stop it. The short monk was engulfed in the mist. The ghost flag firmly planted itself into the ground, and layers of ghost fog surrounded it. Countless evil spirits rushed out of the flag, forming a ghost domain. The short monk was trapped inside and fell silent.

Zhao Yan took a breath and shouted, "Go!"

Passing through the edge of the ghost fog, Qin Sang was still extremely shocked. Trapped by the ghost flag, even foundation-building cultivators couldn't break free. Not even sword energy could compete with Zhao Yan.

The space inside the clam shell was small, with a water-proof restriction. It was dry and refreshing inside, simply furnished with only two water-core bamboo cushions.

The most eye-catching feature was a cave deep inside the clam shell. A stone staircase led to the bottom of the cave.

At Zhao Yan's urging, they descended the staircase and came to the bottom of the cave. A vast cave appeared before them, filled with endless gray air.

These gray mists looked dangerous, suggesting the presence of hidden formations. Qin Sang and the others exchanged glances, wondering what other tricks Zhao Yan had up his sleeve.

Here is the corrected version of the text:

---

"This is the Three Disasters Devouring Heart Formation. It is said that a great power created this formation based on the heavenly tribulation. It can not only evolve the Three Disasters, but also confuse the mind and give birth to the inner demon. Even if a Jindan cultivator is trapped by the formation, it will take some effort to escape."

Zhao Yan warned them, "You should use all your strength to activate the Four Cloud Divine Prohibitions and ask the master to leave the power in the cloud flag to protect your bodies. Only then will you be safe. Once we fall into the formation, there will be no chance of escape. Even if we don't die in the Three Disasters, we will be trapped until our vitality is exhausted and die. After entering the formation, we will all prosper and suffer together, so no one should act disrespectfully."

Qin Sang heard the effect of the Three Disasters Devouring Heart Formation, and his heart suddenly moved. He wondered if the Jade Buddha could help him resist the inner demon?

He kept a calm face and followed Zhao Yan's instructions to activate the cloud flag with all his strength. The five of them stood in their respective positions, and the four-colored cloud grew denser.

Then, Qin Sang saw the shadow of the sect leader in the cloud flag raise his hand and point upwards. Four spiritual powers broke through the cloud flag and hit the transparent gem in Zhao Yan's hand.

The transparent gem glowed brightly. When the light touched the erratic clouds around it, it immediately turned into a solid light shield, covering the five of them.

After they entered the Three Disasters Heart Devouring Formation, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. Thunder rumbled, and they found themselves in a thunder lake. Endless lightning galloped above their heads. The doomsday-like scene made several of them pale. Such terrifying thunder was definitely not something that ordinary cultivators could withstand.

Zhao Yan was a little horrified when he saw the thick lightning bolts in Lei Ze, which never stopped. He hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Let's go!"

As soon as he stepped into Lei Ze, dozens of electric snakes rushed toward them in an instant. Everyone was shocked and panicked. Zhao Yan hurriedly raised the transparent gemstone, and saw the shadow of Master Yi appear. When those terrifying lightning bolts rushed in front of the shadow, they actually collapsed directly.

"Let's go!" Zhao Yan shouted in joy. Under the protection of the master's shadow, he quickly moved forward and finally crossed Lei Ze. He saw a sea of fire in the sky. After passing through the sea of fire, they were met by an endless hurricane, as if they would never reach the end. Qin Sang was secretly shocked. Even if the Jade Buddha could help him resist the inner demon, it could not stop the terrifying Three Disasters. This might be his only chance to escape. Did he really have to accept his fate?

In this way, he moved forward slowly and with great difficulty, and Zhao Yan's face suddenly showed joy. He had finally passed through the Three Disasters safely.

The formation returned to calm, and endless gray mist lingered around them. Everyone knew that these gray colors would confuse the mind. Being trapped here would be more miserable than dying under the Three Disasters. They still did not dare to relax. After walking for a while, the view ahead suddenly cleared.

Finally, they walked out of the Three Disasters.

Then, a suppressed exclamation came from everyone's mouth, including Qin Sang, who stared straight ahead with deep amazement in his eyes.

In the center of the huge cave was a square pool. The water in the pool was clear, with a faint mist rising. In the middle of the pool, there was a strange orchid.

The orchid floated quietly on the water, its roots and stems intertwined, pure white. Some of its leaves were submerged in the water, while others floated on the surface, verdant and dripping.

There were seven petals in total, all purple, as crystal clear as amethyst, shining in various colors. The shape was very similar to a spiritual medicine called Fuxue Molan that Qin Sang had seen in Huiyang Valley, though the color was different.

What was even more amazing was that a wisp of smoke floated from the stamen of the orchid, and it actually evolved into the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, exotic animals, fairy grasses, carriages, and pedestrians...

In just a few breaths, countless illusions flashed on the orchid, all vivid and real. It seemed that there was a mysterious little world inside the orchid, revealing a glimpse of its vastness to the onlookers.

"What kind of elixir is this?" Ruan Nanfeng asked, intoxicated by the orchid. Qin Sang was also very curious. Compared to this orchid, the elixirs in Huiyang Valley's Medicine Garden seemed no different from ordinary grass.

Zhao Yan stared at the orchid with a fanatical look, breathing a little heavily. He ignored Ruan Nanfeng and had no intention of explaining to them. He shouted hurriedly, "Form the formation! Evolve thunder magic!"

Ruan Nanfeng's face showed a trace of dissatisfaction, but he dared not disobey Zhao Yan's order. The four of them changed positions again and urged the clouds.

There was only the roar of thunder, and the clouds that came from the cloud flag flashed with lightning, exuding the most masculine and powerful energy.

Zhao Yan held up the jade, and all the thunder suddenly became agitated, rushing madly into the jade. The transparent jade was soon filled with the power of thunder, transforming into a thunderball that became increasingly dazzling. The onlookers dared not look directly at it.

Everyone couldn't help but worry whether the jade would explode from the violent thunder.

Sensing the terrifying energy gathered in the jade, Qin Sang and the others were a little terrified. If the transparent jade exploded here, they would have no chance of survival.

At this moment, Zhao Yan suddenly rushed to the side of the pool, pointed the jade at it, and shouted, "Open for me!"

The transparent jade flashed with lightning, and the shadow of the sect leader stretched out his hand and pointed. A thick and extremely powerful lightning burst forth.

"Boom!"

The dazzling silver light suddenly exploded, and Qin Sang squinted his eyes, unable to see what happened at the edge of the pool. When the silver light dissipated slightly, he found that a barrier, which had not been there before, now appeared above the pool.

At this time, the barrier was hit by the Four Cloud Divine Prohibition, but it was unharmed.

Zhao Yan shouted, "Use all your strength to activate the Four Cloud Divine Prohibition!"

The four of them did not dare to disobey the order, so they did their best. However, they saw lightning strike the barrier, and finally, a crack faintly appeared.

Zhao Yan was ecstatic and quickly moved to the crack. He stared at the mysterious orchid in the pool, laughing wildly.

At this time, the barrier above the pool began to slowly close. Zhao Yan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly ordered Qin Sang and the others to use all their strength to activate the Four Cloud Divine Prohibition and continue using the jade to release divine thunder to suppress the barrier and prevent the crack from closing.

Then, Zhao Yan took out a jade box from his mustard bag, sat cross-legged at the edge of the pool, and a stream of spiritual power surged from his hands. It turned into a big hand that reached into the barrier, carefully reaching into the water to grab the roots of the orchid.

Surprisingly, the mysterious orchid seemed to have a mind of its own. It began to struggle violently after being grabbed by Zhao Yan for a long time, making him nearly unable to hold it.

Zhao Yan looked at the orchid angrily, his face flushed. His spiritual power surged into his palm as he barely held it and pulled it upward.

The four people behind him could only watch with envy as Zhao Yan collected the elixir. However, they also understood that this magical elixir was not something Zhao Yan could possess for long. It would eventually fall into the hands of the leader of Kuiyin Sect or some Jindan Master.

The so-called attack on Yuanzhao Sect was probably just a cover, and the real purpose was this elixir. The fact that the Jindan Master had spent so much effort and planned for several years to steal it showed the value of this mysterious orchid. They wondered what legendary elixir it could be.

Here is the corrected version with improved grammar and structure:

---

Just as Zhao Yan turned his back to them and concentrated on collecting the mysterious orchid, Ruan Nanfeng quietly cast a ban and said via voice transmission: "Don't show any expression. Everyone, are you really willing to let Zhao Yan control you?"

Several people looked at each other. The only woman, named Cen, asked doubtfully, "Junior Brother Ruan, what do you mean by saying this? The heart-eating insects are lurking in our souls. If we think about it, we will die. What can we do if we don't obey your orders?"

"I can't do anything, but I don't want to sit here and wait for death."

Ruan Nanfeng sneered, "Yu said he has sent Junior Sister Wu and the others out of Kuiyin Sect safely, but I don't think so. Instead of sending them out, it's easier to hide from others by killing them and wiping their bodies. If we hadn't broken through to the eighth level by chance and were still useful to him, he wouldn't care whether we were alive or dead. Senior Sister Cen, do you want to gamble on the conscience of the devil?"

Senior Sister Cen was silent, then asked the quiet young man beside her, "Senior Brother Liu, do you think so too?" The young man surnamed Liu hummed and sighed, "I also doubt the fate of the other fellow disciples. There are so many dead souls in the Yinsha Abyss. For Kuiyin Sect, a few more of us won't make much difference, and a few less of us won't make much difference. After Zhao Yan took the elixir, he had to find a way to get out of Yuanzhao Sect. Is he really willing to share his credit with us, the burden? As for the so-called promise after the success, just listen to it..."

"But..."

Senior Sister Cen was still hesitant, "Unless we can kill Zhao Yan instantly, as long as he has time to think, he can awaken the heart-eating worms in our souls, and we will die..."

Qin Sang, who had been watching coldly from the side, suddenly said, "I have a magic weapon called the Purple Soul Ling, which can confuse Zhao Yan's mind, but his cultivation is higher than mine, and I can only trap him for less than two breaths." Qin Sang had long wanted to take action against Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan was always by his side, and he had no time to prepare the Confusing Mirror or the Ebony Sword.

As for secretly joining forces with Ruan Nanfeng and the others, Qin Sang also considered it, but finally gave up. First, there was no opportunity to discuss it, and transmitting the sound under Zhao Yan's nose would definitely be discovered.

Second, they could not get rid of the control of the heart-eating worm, and Qin Sang was not sure if they had the courage to resist. If they still had illusions about Kuiyin Sect, exposing themselves for self-protection would be more trouble than gain.

Now that they proposed it themselves, Qin Sang was naturally happy to cooperate.

Ruan Nanfeng said eagerly, "As long as you give me the chance to sacrifice the Golden Crow Hammer, two breaths will be enough. Senior Brother Liu, Senior Sister Cen, you should also have offensive magic weapons, right? When the time comes, the three of us will use our magic weapons together, and we will be able to kill Zhao Yan in an instant!"

Senior Brother Liu's tone was also full of joy: "My top-grade magic weapon happens to be the Soul-Devouring Spear, and Junior Sister Cen also has a top-grade spiritual sword. We just need to wait until we leave the Three Disasters Heart-Devouring Formation. Junior Brother Qin will immediately activate the Purple Soul Bell to prevent Zhao Yan from making the first move."

Senior Sister Cen was finally persuaded. She looked at Zhao Yan, who was busy in the pool, with cold eyes. Her tone was icy, "Then I will accompany you to gamble. In my opinion, there is no need to wait until then. In case there are more dreams at night, it is better to act now. Zhao Yan has consumed his spiritual power to pick the orchid, and now is the weakest time. It can be guaranteed to be foolproof!"

Senior Brother Liu hurriedly advised, "No, the Four Cloud Divine Prohibition requires five people to operate. We still need him to leave the Three Disasters Devouring Heart Formation, so we can't touch him now."

Ruan Nanfeng smiled sinisterly, staring at the orchid that was being pulled out of the water inch by inch by Zhao Yan. "Senior Brother Liu is right. We have been ordered around by those demons for so long, and we worry all day long. How can we not charge some interest? Wait until he takes out the orchid, and after the four of us get rid of him, we will divide the orchid equally. Even if we can't use the immortal medicine that makes Jindan period cultivators covet, it shouldn't be difficult to exchange it for a few foundation-building pills, right? Yuanzhao Sect has two Jindans sitting in charge. As long as they fight to the death, even if the sect protection formation is broken, it will not be so easy to be eaten. We will take advantage of the chaos and fly away. If you're willing to follow me, there is an elder in my family who will soon be able to form a pill. When he comes back from the ancient immortal battlefield, he will definitely help us get rid of the heart-eating insects."

After these words, the eyes of Senior Brother Liu and Senior Sister Cen were a little fanatical. Qin Sang glanced at their eyes and secretly alerted his heart. He made up his mind that he must not go with them after escaping.

The four discussed the details again. Seeing that Zhao Yan was about to take the orchid away, they quickly shut up and pretended nothing happened.

The mysterious orchid was held tightly by Zhao Yan. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free. The moment the roots left the water, there was no movement. The smoke illusion on the stamens also dissipated, turning it into a dead object.

However, Zhao Yan did not think it was a problem. He was overjoyed. He could not wait to increase his spiritual power and urged the remaining thunder power of the transparent gem. He released several divine thunders in succession, splitting a huge crack and grabbing the orchid out.

Zhao Yan laughed loudly and held the mysterious orchid in front of him to observe it carefully. He looked like a madman.

But none of Qin Sang and the others could see that Zhao Yan, who had his back to them, had not only no madness in his eyes but was extremely cold, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, a scream suddenly sounded in the cave, followed by a few muffled "bangs."

Zhao Yan stretched out his hand, and four cloud flags flew back to his palm. He turned around slowly and said with great pride, "Do you really think I don't know what you are up to? I can control the Four Cloud Divine Forbidden Clouds by myself. If it weren't for the fact that the restrictions on it are too strong..."

But when he saw the scene behind him, the smile on Zhao Yan's face suddenly froze.

One, two, three... there were only three bodies!

Zhao Yan's face suddenly changed. He had clearly awakened the heartworm directly, so how could only three people die? What about the other one? Could it be that the heartworm had also become ineffective?

Without time to think about it, Zhao Yan shouted loudly, "Get out of here!"

The blue cloud flag flashed, and suddenly clouds rose in the cave, filling the air. Qin Sang's outline appeared from the mist.

The falling cloud wings could only hide his breath but could not make him disappear out of thin air.

Qin Sang also didn't expect that Zhao Yan's request for them to jointly activate the Four Cloud Divine Forbidden Techniques to break through the Three Disasters Devouring Heart Formation was just a trick to confuse their sight. The real purpose was to use the power of the four people to stimulate the most powerful thunder method of the Four Cloud Divine Forbidden Techniques and break the restriction on the mysterious orchid.

Before Zhao Yan put the mysterious orchid into the jade box, he immediately thought of awakening the heart-eating insect. Ruan Nanfeng and the other two had no power to resist and were devoured by the heart-eating insect and died.

At the same time, the cloud flag was also forcibly taken away by Zhao Yan.

Qin Sang was caught off guard and hurriedly hid his body. He knew that Zhao Yan had consumed a lot of energy to collect the mysterious orchid. For the sake of safety, he chose to escape rather than sneak attack, not sure if the jade Buddha could help him block the Three Disasters Devouring Heart Formation.

The falling cloud wings were easily broken, but Qin Sang remained calm, and the Yin Thunder Curse of Guishui in his palm was about to take shape!

Here is the corrected version with improved grammar and structure:

---

The moment his figure was revealed by the cloud flag, Qin Sang immediately rang the Purple Soul Bell.

"Ding-ling-ling..."

The crisp sound of the bell echoed through the cave. Qin Sang was about to seize the moment to condense the Yin Thunder, kill Zhao Yan, and snatch the Four Cloud Divine Forbidden, but suddenly a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.

He frowned, his eyes swept over Zhao Yan, and finally fixed on his left hand.

Zhao Yan held the jade box containing the mysterious orchid in his right hand, and the transparent gem floated in front of his chest. His left hand secretly reached for the mustard bag, and a black bead could be vaguely seen in his palm.

This inconspicuous bead, which Qin Sang had never seen before, gave him an extremely dangerous feeling. The moment he saw the bead, his hair stood on end, and an unspeakable fear churned in his heart!

"Not good!"

Qin Sang was shocked and did not dare to gamble with his life. Without hesitation, he immediately dispersed the Guishui Yin Thunder Curse, turned into a gust of wind, and tried his best to escape toward the Three Disasters Devouring Heart Formation.

Then he heard Zhao Yan's roar, and something flew toward him.

Qin Sang's scalp tingled, and he desperately urged his spiritual power to control the empty wind. When he was about to attack the formation, he hurriedly sacrificed the green gauze tent magic weapon he got from the Bagua Forbidden Land, threw it behind him, and urged the ice silkworm armor on his body.

"Boom!"

There was a loud thunder behind him, and Qin Sang lost his hearing. He only felt a terrifying force hit his back hard. The ice armor formed by the ice silkworm armor made a crisp "crunching" sound and shattered in an instant, along with the ice silkworm armor itself, and the green gauze tent magic weapon was directly turned to dust.

Qin Sang was hit directly into the Three Disasters Devouring Heart Formation by the huge force. His back was bloody, with visible bones.

The cave shook violently, and the brilliant white light dissipated for a long time.

Zhao Yan held the jade box containing the mysterious orchid tightly in his arms, bracing himself on the ground with one hand. He was almost knocked over by the violent aftermath but barely managed to stabilize his body.

His face still showed anger, and he stared fiercely at the large pit that had suddenly appeared on the ground. The bodies of Ruan Nanfeng and the other two were blown into dust along with the ground.

Zhao Yan spat fiercely and cursed in a hoarse voice, "Waste my Xuanyin Thunder!"

Then, Zhao Yan's face showed a strong look of doubt again. He didn't understand why the heart-eating insects, which could use all sorts of magic, were ineffective on Qin Sang. He urged the cloud flag to blow up a gust of wind, blowing up the stone chips in the large pit, but there was nothing beneath it.

The mustard bags of several people were also blown to pieces by the Xuanyin Thunder.

Zhao Yan secretly made a note in his heart and decided to ask the head of the sect after returning.

"Huh!"

Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the jade box in his arms, took a look, laughed wildly twice, carefully put it into the mustard bag, and immediately sat cross-legged to recover his spiritual power.

Zhao Yan had not expected such an accident. He was most afraid of alarming the Golden Core Master of the Yuanzhao Sect. Facing the Golden Core Master, no matter how many Xuanyin Thunders there were, they could not save his life.

Now it seemed that the cultivators of Yuanzhao Sect had been entangled by the masters of the sect.

But Zhao Yan did not know the situation outside, so he decided to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible. He had successfully completed the task assigned to him by the headmaster. After returning, he would receive a generous reward, and a breakthrough in the foundation-building period was just around the corner!

Just as Zhao Yan was practicing the technique and recovering his spiritual power, in the Three Disasters Devouring Heart Formation, Qin Sang lay motionless on the ground. The wound on his back was shocking. If it were a mortal, he would have died.

Suddenly, there was a faint groan. Qin Sang grabbed the ground with both hands, endured the severe pain in his back, and barely sat up. The wound was affected, and he couldn't help but gasp in pain.

Qin Sang hurriedly took out some elixirs from the mustard bag. He had consulted Brother Meng in Xingyun Valley. The elixirs he had obtained from the man in the bamboo hat were all healing pills, but their efficacy varied. Some were of high quality, like Shuilu Pills, while others were just ordinary medicines. Qin Sang didn't care much and took out two pills, swallowing them quickly.

A cool sensation immediately spread from his back. Some small wounds began to scab over, and the pain dissipated significantly.

He couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate that the two defensive magic weapons hadn't been destroyed in vain.

Thinking back to the danger just now, Qin Sang still couldn't help but feel fear and horror.

What on earth is this bead?

The aftermath of the explosion alone had destroyed his two defensive magic weapons and left him seriously injured. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and saw that the situation was dire, so he immediately controlled the Pingxufeng to escape. Otherwise, he would have probably been vaporized like the Qingsha tent.

Qin Sang didn't wait for his injuries to stabilize before he began to look around and assess his position.

The ground was cold, and the surroundings were filled with grayish-white air. The sight could only see a short distance.

Although he was already in the Three Disasters Devouring Heart Formation, his consciousness was still clear, without any confusion, and he did not feel the so-called inner demon. It was evident that the Jade Buddha had firmly protected his soul.

However, Qin Sang was now very worried that he would be trapped in the formation.

Without the Four Clouds Divine Forbidden, it would be impossible for him to pass through the three disasters in front of him with his current cultivation. If he wanted to get out of here, he had to obtain the Four Clouds Divine Forbidden. His only reliance was the Ebony Sword.

Thinking of this, Qin Sang could no longer heal his wounds with peace of mind. He endured the pain and climbed to his feet. Tentatively, he took a step back. The grayish-white air around him did not change, and there was no danger.

Qin Sang took a few more steps, and the grayish-white air in front of him suddenly grew thinner. He stopped immediately to avoid being discovered by Zhao Yan, and threw another bead over.

He activated the Falling Cloud Wings to conceal his figure, and Qin Sang moved quietly, finally spotting Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan was sitting cross-legged on the spot to recover his spiritual power. He certainly didn't expect Qin Sang to be alive without any protection around him.

Qin Sang quietly retreated to the Three Disasters Heart Devouring Formation, touched the wound on his back, and felt that it should be fine. He sat cross-legged on the ground, summoned the ebony sword, and then took out the long-treasured medium-grade spiritual stone from the mustard bag. Grabbing it with both hands, he took a deep breath and calmed down.

The ebony sword was suspended in front of Qin Sang, and the black light on the sword body was faint.

Qin Sang connected the spiritual sword with his spiritual consciousness and began madly absorbing the spiritual power in the spiritual stone. As these spiritual powers poured into his Dantian, the originally stable sea of qi became violent, and his meridians felt a tearing pain.

It was worthy of being a medium-grade spiritual stone, Qin Sang secretly sighed.

If this had been a year ago, at the sixth level of Qi Refining, Qin Sang would have been unable to hold on. If he continued to absorb forcefully, he wouldn't be able to kill Zhao Yan but would have exploded and died first.

As time passed, the luster on the spirit stone began to fade. At that moment, a faint green sword energy appeared at the tip of the ebony sword, fluctuating slightly, accompanied by a faint sound of sword chirping.

The sword energy was the manifestation of the material of the spirit sword itself, as the ebony sword was made of spirit wood.

Gradually, the sword energy enveloped the entire ebony sword.

Here's the corrected version of the passage:

---

The night sky is as bright as day!

Qin Sang climbed up from the mud, shook off the branches on his body, spat out the blood and rotten leaves in his mouth, turned his head, and looked in horror at the direction of Yuanzhao Gate.

A big sun hung in the sky, and Yuanzhao Peak was clearly visible.

The entire mountain range was illuminated as if it were daytime.

The mountains collapsed, and the birds and beasts fled.

There were several roars in succession, filled with endless anger and sorrow.

Then the brilliant light overwhelmed everything, the earth shook continuously, and nothing could be seen.

Qin Sang tightly shut his eyes and was secretly shocked. He didn't know what had happened there, but he could feel the extremely terrifying fluctuations from the golden sun.

When the light gradually dimmed and the vision returned, Qin Sang found that the towering Yuanzhao Peak had actually been cut in half, and even several surrounding mountains had been shortened out of thin air.

This was the destructive power of a Jindan-stage cultivator. Qin Sang couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and yearning in his heart.

Qin Sang's eyes shifted slightly. He had originally planned to find a place to wait and observe.

He had not rejected the demonic path before, nor did he have a clear sense of the struggle between good and evil in the world of immortal cultivation. He did not hate it from the bottom of his heart. Especially after listening to the young man in tight clothes talk about the inside story of the Ascension Conference in the Bagua Forbidden Land, Qin Sang realized that the righteous path might not be clean.

He simply wanted to save his life and let himself live a little longer, so he was determined to leave Kuiyin Sect.

There was always a difference between the righteous and the demonic paths.

Yuanzhao Sect had also used the Ascension Conference to lure casual cultivators into the Bagua Forbidden Land to cover up their true purpose, but they did not say that they would let their own disciples die. If it were the Kuiyin Sect, even if it meant paying with the lives of its disciples, Master Yi would not hesitate for a moment. Consider the countless souls lost in the Yinsha Abyss, far surpassing those in the Bagua Forbidden Land.

There is a saying that everything comes at a cost. In the world of immortal cultivation, if a young cultivator in the Qi Refining Period does not have a backer behind them, once something happens, they may become one of the "costs," and it is easier to become a "cost" in the Demon Sect.

Or like Liang Yan, close to Yue Wu, no one dares to provoke. Or like Yue Wu, a foundation-building cultivator and a powerful fighter in the sect, who can save his life.

Unfortunately, Qin Sang was just a pawn in danger of losing his life.

But as the saying goes, times change, and so do situations.

After obtaining the mysterious orchid, Qin Sang began to waver. If Kuiyin Sect wins, no matter how valuable the mysterious orchid is, he would not dare to run away with it if Master Jindan has set his sights on the spiritual medicine.

If he runs for a whole day, Master Jindan could catch up with him in the blink of an eye. With a sweep of his divine sense, there would be nowhere to hide.

Zhao Yan died without any evidence. If he presented the mysterious orchid to the head of the sect and achieved such a great feat, even if Master Yi did not reward him heavily, a few foundation-building pills should not be difficult to obtain. At least he could exchange them for a life-saving talisman.

As long as there is a chance to break through to the foundation-building stage, it doesn't matter if he ends up in the Demon Sect.

However, Yuanzhao Sect did not seem powerless to fight back. After the explosion of the sun, there had been a deathly silence in the direction of Yuanzhao Sect.

The devilish flames, the great formation, the ghosts, the monks...

All disappeared!

The night sky was dead silent!

Suddenly, a terrifying and sorrowful roar came from the distant sky: "Brother!"

A fiery red escape light came from the horizon like a meteor, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed over Yuanzhao Gate, revealing the figure of a young man in black.

The young man looked at the dilapidated Yuanzhao Gate in disbelief, his face full of sadness.

At this moment, there was a loud 'boom.'

The remaining half of Yuanzhao Peak also collapsed. In the smoke and dust, more than a dozen embarrassed figures flew out. Seeing the young man standing in the air, they were all ecstatic: "Uncle Master! You are finally here!"

Only Yu Hua seemed to be stunned, with a dull look in his eyes.

But when they met the young man's cold gaze and saw the chaotic state of the master's gate, they felt as though they had been doused with a basin of ice water.

'Crack!'

The sky suddenly cracked open, and a wisp of black air floated out of the crack...

The young man suddenly raised his head and stared at the depths of the crack, his eyes filled with crazed hatred.

"Kill!"

...

The fiery red sword had the awe-inspiring momentum to cut through everything, and a slightly thin black air was desperately fleeing to the north in front, not daring to stop for a moment.

Qin Sang watched this scene in fear. Could this person who suddenly arrived be the reinforcements from Yuanzhao Sect? Yuanzhao Sect's mountain gate was besieged, the formation was broken, and they turned defeat into victory in a desperate situation?

This was far beyond Qin Sang's expectations.

The sword and the black air chased and fled, disappearing into the sky.

Qin Sang's face changed, and he made a quick decision. He took out the Four Clouds Divine Ban and threw it away. Holding the jade box, he hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't suppress the greed in his heart.

Qin Sang's face showed a bit of self-mockery as he quickly searched Zhao Yan's mustard bag, took out the useful items, and left the things he didn't recognize.

Finally, he found a familiar bead. Qin Sang was overjoyed. He still remembered the terrifying power of the bead. Even if he encountered a strong enemy in the foundation-building stage, throwing the bead, even if it couldn't kill the opponent, would still make them flustered for a while.

Qin Sang held the bead in his hand and used all his strength to activate the Pingxu Wind. He had only one thought in his mind - escape, the farther, the better.

With the help of the elixir to suppress the injuries on his body, Qin Sang dragged his wounded body and fled against the wind. He went west first. After a few days, he found a cave to throw away Zhao Yan's mustard bag and then turned south.

When his spiritual power was exhausted, he would find a cave to recover, then continue to run, eat wild fruits, drink mountain springs, and avoid crowds.

He oriented himself towards the southwest.

When he was under house arrest in Huiyang Valley at Yuanzhao Sect, Qin Sang had wanted to buy a geomancy map of the cultivation world, but he didn't have the opportunity. He had only listened to Yue Wu's lectures at Kuiyin Sect and communicated with his fellow disciples. He had some understanding of the cultivation world, but since they were all disciples in the Qi Refining Period, their knowledge was limited.

Their location was in the northwest corner of the entire continent, in a region called Xiaohan Territory in the world of immortal cultivation. It was said that the continent was vast and its edge was surrounded by an endless sea. However, only cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage knew how far east and south it was, and how many major sects lay beyond.

Even the western and northern borders, which were the closest to them, were rarely reached, because the demon clan resided in the far west of Xiaohan Territory, and the ancient immortal battlefield lay to the north!

It was said that the ancient immortal battlefield was extremely dangerous, but it also held opportunities that defied the heavens. There were countless ancient immortal mansions and ruins.

Yue Wu was very secretive about the ancient immortal battlefield, and his fellow disciples in the Qi Refining stage knew little about it. They had only heard rumors and followed what others said.

There were three main forces in Xiaohan Territory. The west was occupied by the demon clan, and the northeast was controlled by the Demon Sect. The direction Qin Sang was fleeing towards was the sphere of influence of the righteous path.

Kuiyin Sect and Yuanzhao Sect were located in a buffer zone between the righteous and evil forces in Xiaohan Territory. They had ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage in charge and were once prosperous. Now, however, they were gradually declining, but even so, a lean camel is still larger than a horse, and they still held considerable fame in Xiaohan Territory.
