oom rose in his heart. He hastily turned around, only to see a dazzling sword light, with incredible speed, shooting towards him like a meteor chasing the moon.Let me know if you have any other text y..."How long has the fairy been to Jiujia Mountain"
Qin Sang got up to greet him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Three months."
Liuli walked in and took off her cloak.
Her cloak was very wide, covering not only her face but also her graceful figure. In the Buddhist world, this attire was somewhat out of the ordinary, but on Mount Jiujia where all sorts of people mingled, it wasn't so unusual.
This is because when traveling through the northern wasteland, I encountered some lawless bandits.
In the cultivation world, not every cultivator has enough determination. Peerless beauty can also easily attract trouble.
Just like Qin Sang, Liuli's temperament was understated. When she went out, she always acted low-key and wouldn't reveal her true cultivation unless necessary.
Even the reputations of Xuantian Palace and Tingxue Tower wouldn't reach Zhongzhou, nor could they intimidate scoundrels.
All of them were killed by Liuli's sword, but to avoid trouble, she simply put on a cloak, and the back was indeed much quieter.
"Three months, exactly the time I was delayed in the Rift Valley…"
Qin Sang invited Liuli to sit down and briefly recounted their previous experiences.
"Tianleigu and Yanyu Nineteen States are not far apart, originally a great choice, but unfortunately the cave was destroyed. I saved a Jindan cultivator on the road and have sent him to Yanyu Nineteen States to investigate. Once I get the Buddha's Bone Relic, I will go there myself. If Xiao Xiangzi's records are correct, if I'm lucky, there is a chance to enter a top-tier Daoist school..."

Yān yǔ shí jiǔ zhōu is a holy land of cultivation, no doubt. However, according to Qin Sang's understanding, most of the immortal mountains and rivers have been claimed.
At this time, it is not a chaotic world. Various forces are deeply intertwined, with intricate connections between them, sharing the same destiny and supporting each other.
Forcing one's way into another's domain is obviously not feasible and will inevitably lead to ruin.
Besides, there were cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage stationed in the Central Plains. Their strength was far from reaching a level where they could act recklessly.
If you want to establish a foothold in Zhongzhou, either affiliate with a certain sect or choose a place in Behuang, Ximo, or the overseas fairy mountains to open up a cave dwelling.
In this way, the location of the cave dwelling is too remote, far from the center of the cultivation world. Messages cannot be transmitted in a timely manner. If something major happens, by the time they receive word and arrive in Central Plains, it will already be over.
And Qin Sang's purpose was not only for his own cultivation, but also to collect all kinds of news and look for the opportunity to become a Nascent Soul.
When he brought up the topic of his cave dwelling in front of Liuli, it was an unspoken invitation for her to join him. Liuli wasn't just a powerful cultivator; more importantly, she was someone he could trust implicitly.
She came for the Buddha's relics, unlike Qin Sang who was entangled in various karmic causes. Her main task afterward was to cultivate and investigate the mystery of Ziwei Palace's ascension, which was roughly the same wherever she went.
Liuli hesitated, saying nothing.
Qin Sang was familiar with Liuli's temperament and didn't take it to heart. He recalled his discovery during their mountain climb, "Could something have happened on Mount Jiujia Those Buddhist cultivators seem a bit strange"
>
"Luliu 'mhm'ed in response and said, “A month ago, the Moonlight Bodhisattva arrived here in a celestial chariot and set up a dharma platform on Mount Jiujia, inviting numerous monks to debate scriptures with him.”
Speaking of, the best reading and listening apps currently are Wild Fruit Reading, yeguoyuedu. Install the latest version.
“Bodhisattva”
Qin Sang was taken aback by the words.
Buddhism venerates Buddha and Bodhisattvas.
Could it be that someone is carrying the Moonlight Bodhisattva statue from the temple on a pilgrimage
Liuli shook her head. "It is said that the Moonlight Bodhisattva originated from the depths of the desert, was well-versed in Buddhist scriptures, and possessed profound cultivation. She called herself 'Bodhisattva' and claimed that she would not change her Dharma name unless someone could refute her arguments. That's why there was a debate a month ago."
Qin Sang tsked.
Even cultivators in the Hualing Stage of Buddhism are only addressed as Saints. For example, the current Huiguang Saint of Ganlu Chan Institute.
To dare to call oneself "Bodhisattva" is not an act of humility, but rather a transgression.

The Debate Classic is still light.
If that person were attacked on Mount Jiujia, Qin Sang wouldn't be surprised.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Deep in the Western Desert, where few people ventured and news rarely reached, it would have been enough to simply chant Buddha's name. No one would have paid any attention. To actually dare to run rampant on Mount Jiujia is reckless! Don't you fear provoking the holy beings of the Buddhist sect!
What was the outcome of the debate
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang curiously asked.
Liuli hesitated for a moment, “I’m not well-versed in Buddhist scriptures… The debate lasted for three days, and in the end, all the monks were speechless. Guangyue Bodhisattva drifted down the mountain, and no one dared to stop her.”
"Since you have the guts to call yourself a 'Bodhisattva,' I presume you have some abilities."
Qin Sang nodded. Those monks should have come to help after receiving the news, but Guanyin Bodhisattva is no longer on Jiujia Mountain.
Xue Lian Mountain is known as the origin of Buddhism, but more importantly, it serves as a spiritual holy land for Buddhist practitioners. Today's super sects of Buddhism are not located here, but rather in Central Plains.
After three days of debating, he left as soon as news of the outcome spread.
This person must also be wary.
During this period, Buddhist disciples have gathered here from all directions. I took the opportunity to hear a lot of news.
Speaking of which, Liuli took out a sheepskin map, spread it on the table, and pointed to a spot in the desert. "The Buddha bone relics are most likely here - the Seven Stars of the Vast Sea!"
Qin Sang was overjoyed to hear this.
"Thank you, fairy!"
He hurriedly lowered his head and saw that the place where the glazed finger was pointing to was a vast oasis.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This oasis is not a single unit, but seven oases of different sizes connected in a line across the desert, not too far apart from each other.
On each oasis, there is a prominent lake pattern drawn.
The map is very rudimentary, with only this information.
Luli detailed: "Ximo is not a monolithic entity, but a constantly shifting landscape with numerous nations. Ximo cultivators divide the desert into several regions based on different characteristics, such as Xuelian Mountains, Hanhai... These seven lakes have never dried up, nourishing oases like seven stars in the desert. Later, Buddhist practitioners built temples by the lakeside, and Hanhai Qixing now refers to the seven Buddhist temples beside the lake. They are interconnected and are the dominant force in Hanhai, their power shouldn't be underestimated. According to my investigation, there were once vast swathes of oases and hundreds of large and small lakes here. Later, they gradually merged into the seven major lakes. The previous environment and Senior Xiao Xiangzi’s records match perfectly."
“Such as the Ci'an Temple, the Zhu Lan Temple…”
Qin Sang's gaze swept across the seven Buddhist temples, and he questioned, raising his head in confusion, "There is no Yin Zen Temple"
According to Senior Xiangzi, the Buddha's bone relics are the result of the enlightenment and passing of a highly accomplished monk from Yin Chan Temple.
Liuli explained her reasoning for believing the Buddha relics were in the Qixing of the vast sea. "There was no Buddhist temple here originally. Legend has it that a great master monk came to this place alone, seeing that the people refused to be civilized, so he built a temple nearby to propagate Buddhism, and that temple became Yin Zen Temple. Later, there was a major upheaval in the Vast Sea, and Yin Zen Temple disappeared for some unknown reason, but Buddhist temples have sprung up even more since then. Presumably, Buddhism prevailed. If Yin Zen Temple's lineage had been broken, the treasures in the temple would most likely be in the hands of these seven temples."
Qin Sang pondered for a moment, without speaking.
As the saying goes, "The sea changes and the mulberry fields are replaced by new ones."
The affairs of the world, differing by a hair's breadth, can be miles apart in consequence.
Even though Liuli's guess was completely correct.
>I'm afraid that back then, there might have been disciples of Yinzhen Temple who were forced to flee, taking the temple's treasures with them and disappearing without a trace. Finding their whereabouts now would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Liuli said: "Whether this Hidden Zen Temple is the same as the other Hidden Zen Temple, we need to enter the vast sea to verify."
Qin Sang nodded and said in a low voice, "Time is of the essence, let's depart as soon as possible!"
There's another concern they didn't mention.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
If you steal the relics from Yinzhen Temple, you'll be facing a Buddhist temple expert.
Now, they are likely to provoke all seven Buddhist temples at the same time!
It's too early to worry about these things now. We can figure out a way once the whereabouts of the Buddha's relics are confirmed.
This is just a test.
Luli spent three months on Xue Lian Shan, and had basically investigated all the information she could find. There was no need to waste any more time, so the next morning, they set off down the mountain together.
On the way down the mountain, the Buddha's flesh-and-blood followers became more visible.

The fallout from the Moon Goddess incident is still brewing, and it’s spreading far and wide.

After leaving Jiujia Mountain, not far into the journey, there was a vast expanse of yellow sand. The air was dry and hot, forming visible rolling heat waves in the void.

Of course, the Western Desert is harsh, but it's nothing compared to a storm. The Divine Shuttle of Ten Directions can handle it with ease.
Although it may appear harsh here, this is actually the most vibrant place in the Western Desert.
The snowmelt from the Xueling Mountains flows into several rivers and underground streams that head south. While not as large as the Tian Tuo River, they bring vital life to the desert.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Commoners lived along these rivers, with countless nations scattered throughout. Most of them venerated Buddhism and called themselves the Three Thousand Buddhist Kingdoms.
The vast ocean is still to the south of the Three Thousand Buddha Nation.
This is not yet the deepest part of the Western Desert. Continuing westward is where the true death desert lies, a place devoid of all life.
Qin Sang and Liuli traveled at their own pace, inquiring about news along the way. They passed through countless Buddhist kingdoms, experienced exotic customs, and it was not in vain.
As I was about to leave the Three Thousand Buddha Kingdoms.
They unexpectedly learned a piece of news related to the Bodhisattva Moonlight.
After the three-day debate at Jiujia Mountain, Moonlight Bodhisattva left Jiujia Mountain and disappeared without a trace. Western Desert Buddhist monks searched everywhere, but found nothing.
>
Unexpectedly, a few days prior, the Moon Goddess appeared in a Buddha nation. She too boasted and set up a dharma platform.
Unfortunately, the high monks there were not as accomplished as those on Mount Jiujia. They were speechless and ashamed after being debated by the Moonlight Bodhisattva in just a day's time.
Facing continuous provocation, the Buddhist community was roused, and even many eminent monks in the mortal realm began to stir.
No matter how the Buddhist sect responded, Qin Sang and his companion went straight through the Three Thousand Buddha Kingdoms, through the desert, and into the vast ocean.
The Seven Stars of the Vast Sea are located in the depths of the Vast Sea.
They did not make direct contact with the Seven Stars of the Vast Sea, but instead settled in a market on the outskirts of an oasis.
Only upon arriving here did I learn that within these seven oases, there are not just these seven Buddhist temples. Excluding those built by ordinary monks, there are hundreds more.
Here is the translation of your text:

The prosperity of Buddhism in the Western Regions is evident.
At this time, Liuli was still wearing a cloak, while Qin Sang was dressed in a sea-green robe, pretending to be a layman who came to pay respects to Buddha, wearing a straw hat.
>
The Gobi Desert is a place where sandstorms are frequent. The fierce winds whip up sand and gravel, striking faces with the force of a knife. Even the locals dress similarly for protection.
"Creak."
Qin Sang pushed open the inn room door and saw Liuli had already returned.
They just parted ways to gather information.
“Got a list of many Buddhist temples from the Hanhai Sea.”
Qin Sang closed the door and said softly, "Among them are temples in the mortal realm. I've made a rough sweep and haven't found any trace of Yin Chan Temple, so we need to verify them separately. There are also some large temples that appear to have practitioners. We can start with them and quietly contact the Seven Stars of the Vast Ocean."
Liuli put forward a guess: “During the chaotic times, it's possible that Yinzhen Temple was just a school of Buddhism that came to an end. The lay monks in the temple might have changed its name to avoid disaster.”
Qin Sang pondered for a moment upon hearing this, "It's possible, but that would mean we'd have to visit every temple."
I'm going.
Glass Path.
Qin Sang understood her meaning.
Please note that there was no content within the original > tags. I have left them as they are in the response.
The Hanghai Seven Stars have a Yuan Ying period cultivator sitting in charge, this point is self-evident. However, since the fame of the Hanghai Seven Stars spread, no force has dared to challenge the status of the Seven Temples for a long time.
It's difficult to gauge Qishi's current strength without concrete evidence.
However, it's highly unlikely that there are Grand Cultivators.
The Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in Zhongzhou are like dragons, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Those at the late stage of the Nascent Soul are still considered top powerhouses in the world.
In Buddhism, once a high monk breaks through to the late stage of Yuanying, according to tradition, a grand water and land ritual will be held, inviting fellow monks and nuns to celebrate.
According to their inquiries, the Seven Stars of the Vast Sea have never held such an event.
Qin Sang's divine sense transformed into a physical form, deliberately concealing himself. Cultivators below the late Nascent Soul stage would be unable to see through his cultivation unless they personally displayed a secret art of perception. It was safest for him to interact with cultivators in this way.
>
Glass should be slightly less prominent.
"Good."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Qin Sang immediately took out the list, and the two divided the Buddhist temple into two categories and acted separately.
Qin Sang and Liuli parted ways, then began to travel through the oasis alone, either openly interacting or secretly investigating to find out more about these temples.
Rushing could cause suspicion, so Qin Sang pretended to be a devout layman bowing to Buddha. He acted sincerely and prayed quickly, thus not being able to speed up.
Bai Shan Temple.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
One of the Seven Stars of the Vast Sea, ranked sixth.
During this period, Qin Sang had entered the lowest-ranked meditation hall called "Tong Ci An", but unfortunately, he didn't get to meet the abbot. He only interacted with a few young novice monks whose cultivation levels were still shallow, and couldn't glean any valuable information from them.
Mount Baishan Temple and Dengci Monastery both lack cultivators who have reached the Yuan Ying stage. It is said that only a cultivator at the late stage of the Golden Core resides there.
However, the formation within the temple wasn't ordinary; it must have been crafted by a Yuan Ying expert.
>
Qin Sang observed for a long time and determined that it would be difficult for him to infiltrate without alarming anyone. He suppressed his urge and patiently looked for another way in.
Bei Shan Temple is located by the lake and does not reject mortals.
There is a lot of traffic in front of the temple.
Qin Sang, honest and upright, lined up with other devout men and women to enter the temple.
He did not reveal his cultivation, but the bearing formed by years of practice was evident in his every move and gesture. Among ordinary people, he stood out like a crane among chickens, causing even the visiting monks to cast him several extra glances.
Incense, Buddha worship, listening to scriptures...
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang was already extremely familiar with these processes.
Qin Sang, absentmindedly having listened to the high monk's sermon, rose and walked out of the Buddhist hall with the other devotees. He was just about to call a young novice and find an excuse to tour the temple when suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
A moment later.
In the distance, a monk walked over.
This person came face to face with them, but those incense-bearers were oblivious.
"Amitabha Buddha, please have a seat, sir."
The monk walked straight to Qin Sang, folded his hands together, and bowed.
"The humble student has met the Abbot."
Qin Sang hurriedly returned the greeting, recognizing this person as a cultivator at the late stage of the Golden Core. He must be the abbot of Beishan Temple. His heart secretly rejoiced; it had all come so easily.
Both knew the other was a cultivator, so they dispensed with worldly formalities and exchanged their dharma names.
The abbess' Dharma name is Sengyan.
>
Qin Sang still spoke as she had before, claiming that she had been raised by a monk in her youth and given the name Mingyue. She was supposed to become a nun, but due to an incident at the temple, she ended up back on the streets.
Though fortunate enough to have been exposed to the path of cultivation, I also created countless karmic obstacles. Now, looking back, I am filled with remorse and have made a grand vow to travel to all directions, pay homage to one hundred thousand Buddhas, and thus eliminate my karmic sins.
>
As they spoke, Qin Sang was invited to follow the abbot to a quiet Buddhist hall.
