Ask about the Immortal Way

#2290 - Wandering Scale Ghost Silk Power

Suddenly, a beam of light descended from a dim sea.

Qin Sang appeared and looked ahead, and saw a cloud of yellow fog floating on the sea, moving quickly.

Suddenly, huge waves rose from the sea, and a monster with a wolf's head and a fish's body rushed out of the sea, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed the yellow fog in one gulp. The moment it swallowed the yellow fog, the sea wolf's body suddenly stiffened, its eyes quickly lost their luster, and it fell straight onto the sea.

"Pah!"

The sea wolf smashed a deep pit in the sea, and countless tiny holes appeared on its skin from the inside out. Strange yellow insects crawled out of the holes, and then gathered into yellow mist in an instant.

The sea wolf's body decayed into a pool of pus at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was swept away by the sea water and disappeared. The essence in the sea wolf's body seemed to have been sucked away by the yellow fog, which became slightly stronger than before.

Qin Sang watched the entire process of the sea wolf from hunting to death, his eyes moving with the yellow fog.

The yellow fog was composed of countless yellow strange insects, exactly the same as the ones imprisoned in the formation, but the color was lighter.

They are not living beings, but a kind of strange poison that exists in this state.

They are like the most ferocious predators, roaming around in this sea, waiting for prey to come to them.

Watching the yellow fog go away, Qin Sang continued to move forward. As he gradually went deeper into the sea, he encountered several more light fogs, all of which were very light in color. The depth of color was closely related to their toxicity. The more toxic, the darker the color. The ones in the array were dark yellow, and they should have been captured from inside.

Qin Sang took action from time to time to analyze the toxicity of this strange poison. Sure enough, the further he went, the darker the yellow fog became.

As Qin Sang continued to go deeper, the yellow fog appeared more and more frequently, and this sea area became more and more dangerous.

"Found it..."

Qin Sang ignored his own safety and continued to go deeper, and finally found a group of yellow fog of similar color in front of him. However, when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and stopped where he was.

The yellow fog he had just seen was actually just a corner of a giant fog. This giant fog blocked the way ahead, with no end in sight. The dark yellow strange insects that made up the fog seemed to be staring at him, waiting for him to fall into their trap.

Qin Sang flipped his palm and took out the array plate, activating the spirit array. With the scale of the spirit array, it could only collect a small part of the strange insects in the giant fog group. The 'snowflakes' inside would soon be filled up. It was not enough to rely on the array plate alone to break through the fog group.

"Did Xie Tianjiao refine this formation just to collect this poison?"

Qin Sang thought for a while, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he raised the formation plate.

The formation plate was suspended above his head, emitting a cold light. Snowflakes were flying around Qin Sang, following his movements.

Qin Sang flashed and flew towards the giant fog ball, with snowflakes following him. As soon as he entered the fog ball, it immediately caused quite a stir. The outermost snowflakes were quickly dyed yellow, and the strange insects were sealed by the snowflakes.

But there are countless strange insects here, far more than snowflakes, and it won’t be long before the snowflakes are filled up. However, Qin Sang turned a blind eye and had no intention of withdrawing from the giant fog.

Finally, all the snowflakes turned yellow. The yellow snowflakes formed a barrier to resist the invasion of yellow fog. Qin Sang stared at the array plate and suddenly a look of enlightenment appeared on his face.

The array disk had been refined by him, and at this moment, he sensed a vague breath through the array disk. The breath came from the front, and he didn't know what it was emitting, and it was vague.

Qin Sang understood that Xie Tianjiao's real intention in refining the array plate was to capture that breath.

“Interesting…”

Qin Sang murmured.

Xie Tianjiao must have known what was inside by doing this, but he didn't know whether it was an ancestral secret or he discovered it himself. If it was an ancestral secret, this person's master might have some connection with Yuanhai.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Sang withdrew again, away from the yellow fog, and found a safe place to stay nearby.

Qin Sang judged that if he went deeper into the yellow fog, this incomplete formation plate alone would not be enough, and it would be better to complete the formation plate in advance.

Now it seems that the array has two functions: one is to find that breath, and the other is to capture strange insects and resist the invasion of yellow fog.

The first function is that Qin Sang doesn’t understand the whole story and is afraid that he can’t do it.

However, he had dabbled in all aspects involved in refining the array, and he had a basic understanding of the toxicity of the yellow fog. By drawing on the previous ideas of the array and combining the two, he might be able to achieve the second effect.

Fortunately, the small cave is vast enough, and Qin Sang brought a lot of spiritual materials, so he doesn’t have to go out to collect them.

This Yellow Fog Sea was well-known, and the monks would avoid it. The poisonous beasts that occasionally rushed over were dealt with by the Thunder Beast Guards and Suzaku.

Qin Sang immersed himself in it, kept trying, and finally his hard work paid off.

"Swish!"

A beam of cold blue light suddenly appeared in front of Qin Sang, shot into the air, and turned into a dark cloud, and instantly snow filled the sky.

The snow fell silently. Qin Sang raised his head slightly and smiled with satisfaction.

The missing corner of the array plate has been completed. There is a slight disharmony with the previous part, but it is not a big deal.

This array is available!

"How long has it been?" Qin Sang asked.

"It's been almost two years," Suzaku yawned.

"So it took so long!" Qin Sang stood up. He took some shortcuts when refining it, but it still took him two years. If he wanted to refine a perfect formation, it would not be possible in two years.

The array followed, and the Vermillion Bird and the Thunder Beast followed behind them, returning to the giant fog. Compared with two years ago, the giant fog had hardly changed, and Qin Sang did not hesitate and flashed in.

He quickly moved through the giant fog, which was much vaster than he had imagined, as if it had no boundaries. When Qin Sang went deeper into the fog, the barrier formed by the snowflakes began to show signs of instability.

Fortunately, Qin Sang completed the formation in advance, otherwise it would have collapsed by now.

He took a glance, walked for a distance without slowing down, then suddenly stopped, looked around, and hesitated.

When we arrived here, the shortcomings of the formation became apparent. The perception of that breath became vague and it was difficult to lock the direction, but it was certain that the source of the breath should be in the area ahead.

Qin Sang chose a direction at random, walked and stopped, and from time to time immersed his mind into the formation and perceived with all his strength.

Unexpectedly, Qin Sang held the formation plate in his hand and searched for a long time but still had no clue. He walked through every place in this area no less than ten times.

“Could it be…”

Qin Sang realized something and stood still, awakening the Tianmu Butterfly, activating the Tianmu magical power, staring at the void without relaxing for a moment. He waited silently for three whole days, and suddenly his expression moved slightly, and he rushed out.

After three breaths, the escaping light suddenly stopped, and then bent in mid-air.

After changing directions several times in succession, Qin Sang suddenly smiled, and then a shadow appeared on the sea in front of him.

Qin Sang breathed a sigh of relief and flew forward. A piece of floating ice gradually appeared in the yellow fog. The floating ice was huge, floating on the sea, and looked like land. It emitted a faint fluorescence, but there was no chill at all.

"There really is a large formation here!"

Qin Sang looked around the ice floe.

The formation plate is equivalent to the key to the large formation. Without the guidance of the formation plate, even if the giant fog is turned upside down, there is no way to find this place. This further proves that Xie Tianjiao is not simple and knows this place very well.

Of course, it would have been impossible to do this with just the incomplete formation plate in Qin Sang's hand. Fortunately, his divine power of heavenly eyes discovered some clues.

When the divine sense swept over, the surface of the ice floe was empty and everything was visible. It seemed that the secret was inside the ice floe.

Qin Sang quickly locked onto a position, which was right in the center of the ice floe.

"The restrictions here..."

Qin Sang's eyes flashed with brilliance. He sensed the forbidden fluctuations coming from the floating ice, which were actually in line with the "Poison God Canon"!

“Poison God! Poison God! Could it be that the Poison God Canon is really the inheritance of Yuan Hai?”

Qin Sang tried to use the "Poison God Canon" to analyze the restrictions here, but found that the level of the "Poison God Canon" he mastered was too low. The restrictions here are more mysterious than the Rakshasa Remnant Heart Formation. It must have been set up by a top powerhouse who practiced the "Poison God Canon".

However, perhaps due to the passage of time, these restrictions have not demonstrated their due power.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Sang simply sat on the ground, ran through the "Poison God Canon", and began to comprehend. After all, it was a legacy passed down from generation to generation, so Qin Sang easily grasped the thread and tried to deduce it.

Soon, he saw the floating ice in front of Qin Sang flashing with light, and a strange aura was brewing, as if a storm was about to break out, but it was always on the verge of erupting and would not affect Qin Sang.

Thanks to Qin Sang's powerful cultivation and control, the progress was smooth and there was no backlash from the restrictions.

"These restrictions contain the master's understanding of the Poison God Canon. The Poison God Canon I practiced before, the Rakshasa Residual Heart Formation is the strongest method. As long as I can comprehend these restrictions thoroughly, even if I can't create a more powerful formation, I can improve the Rakshasa Residual Heart Formation..."

Qin Sang still had the energy to think and was eagerly absorbing knowledge from here.

After a while, the ice in front of Qin Sang began to melt, and finally a round hole was revealed.

The ice cave is deep.

Qin Sang stood up, entered the ice cave and slowly fell. The inside was filled with dark blue fluorescence and gurgling sounds of bubbles came from deep within the ice cave.

After making sure there was no danger here, Qin Sang quickened his pace and reached the bottom of the ice cave, where he saw the ice pools below.

There are nine ice pools in total, eight small ones arranged in the shape of the eight trigrams, with a large one in the middle. The water in the pool is ice blue and clear, as if boiling, with bubbles constantly coming out.

Qin Sang stared for a moment and looked around. It was all smooth ice without any patterns or words.

"Xie Tianjiao came here for these ice pools?"

Qin Sang landed on the edge of the ice pool and once again used his divine power of clairvoyance to observe carefully and found some clues.

In the pool, countless blue filaments were floating, like ice threads, extremely thin. When he stared at these ice threads, he actually felt that they were very dangerous.

"Um?"

It turned out that it was not his illusion, these ice silks were really stirring.

The ice silk seemed like a living thing, able to sense him and show signs of movement.

"Is this...poison?"

Qin Sang used the magical powers in the "Poison God Canon" to determine the characteristics of the ice silk. In a flash of thought, his expression suddenly changed, and the ice silk in the pool water disappeared from his sight.

"Swish!"

Qin Sang soared into the air, and two lightning bolts shot out from his phoenix wings, which met below his body and suddenly burst into a ball of lightning.

"Crack!"

The thunder was deafening and echoed in the ice cave. Qin Sang stared at the bottom of the lightning and saw a flash of blue light. Several ice silks were blocked by the lightning and fell back into the pool.

At the same time, the ice silk that disappeared in the pool reappeared.

"Just now, it seemed that I activated the "Poison God Canon" to cause the ice silk to mutate," Qin Sang thought.

Next, he kept trying and deducing, and finally made an astonishing move and jumped directly into the central ice pool.

"Wow!"

The moment Qin Sang entered the ice pool, the nine ice pools changed simultaneously. The water in the pools boiled violently. The ice silks floating in the pools gathered towards Qin Sang frantically and even drilled into Qin Sang's body.

It was as if he was surrounded by countless insects and became their food. The scene was terrifying, but Qin Sang did not resist at all.

The ice silk entered his body but did not make his body full of holes. Instead, it gathered towards his meridians without Qin Sang's deliberate guidance. It circulated along a specific route on its own and gradually turned into a strange force that was controlled by Qin Sang.

"Ka-ka-ka..."

When the last strand of ice was sucked away by Qin Sang, the ice pool beneath him cracked, and then the whole thing broke into pieces with a huge noise, and countless pieces of ice flew all over the sky.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Sang rushed out of the broken ice, hovered in the air, and looked at the broken ice under his feet with shining eyes.

"The Scaled Ghostly Power!"

When he refined all the ice silk, this name came into his mind.

He spread out his palm, and a blue light appeared in his palm, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing.

Qin Sang knew that in ancient times there was a poisonous snake called Youlin. This snake liked to drill into the body of its prey, wander through the meridians, and drill into the internal organs. The victim would develop snake scale-like ulcers on his body and die in pain in a miserable way.

As the name suggests, this poison is like the scales of a venomous snake, which is difficult to resist. Once it enters the body, it is like a ghost and is elusive. Ordinary people do not know how to resolve the poison even if they are poisoned.

"This is a kind of poison, and also a deadly poison move. It is extremely domineering and vicious. This place was originally a place where the Yuanhai monks used to refine this poison," Qin Sang commented. He also practiced poison skills, but he still felt a chill in his heart.

If Xie Tianjiao had obtained the Youlin Ghost Silk Power before meeting him, he would not have been defeated so easily.

Now it was all Qin Sang's fault. He would have another strange and deadly move to use against his enemies in the future. However, for Qin Sang, after repairing the Daiyu Immortal Mountain, it would be difficult for him to find another treasure that could make him ecstatic.

Perhaps the Youlin Chansi Jin has other unusual meanings to Xie Tianjiao and the Yuanhai inheritance, but Qin Sang can only see this much for now.

What concerned him most was the scroll of silk. He took it out and compared it with the surrounding scene, looking for clues.
