Chapter 206: Chapter 159: Breakthrough in Myriad Phenomena? (Request for monthly ticket)
Not much time passed before Li Qian cleared out everyone in the entire castle.
This place was clearly an important stronghold of the Blood God Sect. Even if not all people here were members, they definitely had extensive connections with the sect.
As for the members of this anti-human Demon Sect, Li Qian never showed mercy.
As for the Blood God Sect Master, there was even less need to say.
Although the Blood God Sect Master himself was a Top Grandmaster with a powerful demon energy, comparable to a real Heavenly Person, he was still no match in front of Li Qian, a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial.
Afterward, Li Qian went to Taiwu Dao Mansion, dropped off the list of names and information about the Blood God Sect’s strongholds, and then left.
He definitely wouldn’t personally exterminate the Blood God Sect - it was too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Moreover, the Blood God Sect was deeply entangled with the secular world. He might destroy its core members, but he couldn’t do anything about many non-core members, or even those who provided cover for them.
That required the cooperation of Taiwu Dao Mansion, Qi King Mansion, He Family, and Divine Sword Sect to have a chance of uprooting the Blood God Sect and completely eradicating the environment for its resurgence.
...
Taiwu Dao Mansion.
Several of the remaining high-level members of the Yu Family were looking at a few pieces of paper in front of them.
"These were left by someone just now."
Yu Family’s new head, Yu Yan, said: "It records the members and strongholds of the Blood God Sect."
"Uncle, do you know who left them?"
Another Heavenly Person from the Yu Family asked.
"I don’t know; I didn’t feel anything at all; this was just suddenly here."
Yu Yan shook his head and said.
Everyone present was immensely shocked.
The family head Yu Yan was an Intermediate Heavenly Person, even a Top Heavenly Person couldn’t pass his senses without being detected.
What kind of being could leave something behind without the head even sensing it?
"Let’s not talk about that, we’ve known about the existence of the Blood God Sect, this force seems to be connected to the Demon Race’s power on Huilong Mountain, possibly preparing for a demon sacrifice... but we couldn’t find many clues."
Yu Yan said solemnly: "If this intelligence is true, this is a great opportunity to completely eradicate the Blood God Sect."
"Young Four, immediately send confidential letters to the He Family, Divine Sword Sect, and Qi King Mansion asking them to cooperate in the extermination of the Blood God Sect. It must be absolutely confidential."
He made a decisive command.
"Yes, Uncle."
Another high-level member of the Yu Family promptly took the order and left the room.
...
More than half a month later, Li Qian, along with the Li Mo sisters, returned to Chen Bell Platform.
There, with the Chen Bell Domain, the influence of the demon marks on the wrists of the two sisters could be isolated.
On the mountain behind the Chen Bell, a wooden hut was quickly built.
The once sparse and quiet Chen Bell Platform had now become much livelier.
Thump...
5 a.m. to 7 a.m.
The clear and distant bell sound rang from the bell tower, carrying far and wide.
It’s still dark.
Bai Yun and Chai Shao began practicing the Pure Sword Body on the flat ground.
After Li Qian finished his practice, he watched their cultivation, his brows slightly furrowing.
Chai Shao’s progress, while not fast, wasn’t too slow either, overall it was acceptable.
But Bai Yun was lagging considerably, and her progress was clearly slowing.
This was still with the aid of the Chen Bell’s first bell sounds, otherwise, it would have been even slower.
"It seems that Xiao Yun is not really suited for practicing the Pure Sword Body, continuing this way would only waste time."
Li Qian thought to himself.
After the two finished their training, Li Qian called Bai Yun into the hut and after asking about the progress of the Pure Sword Body, "You should stop practicing the Pure Sword Body and prepare for a breakthrough to the Innate Realm."
"Master, can I really break through to the Innate Realm?"
Bai Yun was not disappointed; instead, she was very delighted.
After all, the training of Pure Sword Body was too difficult, and her progress was much slower than her senior brother.
"Um."
Li Qian nodded his head.
A few days later.
Bai Yun successfully broke through to the Innate Realm.
Without any complications.
After all, her accumulation was sufficient.
And her Root Bone talent was high.
"Now that I’m an Innate Martial Artist, I think you should start calling me senior sister."
Bai Yun said to Chai Shao.
Since they both started together, she had always been behind Chai Shao.
Now she finally had the opportunity to have higher cultivation than Chai Shao.
"Seen Senior Sister."
Chai Shao fulfilled Bai Yun’s fantasy of being a senior sister.
"Junior Brother Chai, I’ll look after you in the future."
Bai Yun was very satisfied.
"Master, can I go home for a visit?"
She ran to Li Qian and asked.
"Let’s wait until your cultivation is more stable."
Li Qian realized this disciple’s ladylike demeanor was all just a facade.
Now her true nature was revealed.
After finishing lunch, Bai Yun went down the mountain, likely to boast to her friends.
She didn’t return until evening.
"Master, I heard some news in the Inner Sect. The Assessment Hall has recruited a Treasure Bone Level genius, and a few Heavenly Persons almost fought over this disciple."
Bai Yun said with a gossipy tone.
"Treasure Bone Level genius?"
Li Qian was somewhat surprised.
The last time the Divine Sword Sect found a Treasure Bone Level genius was more than twenty years ago.
After all, although some Golden Bone Level and even Jade Bone Level geniuses have been found over the years, there hasn’t been any Treasure Bone Level.
Of course, this also has to do with the significant shrinkage of the Divine Sword Sect’s territories, losing Xuanzhou and drastically reducing the population within its domain, naturally decreasing the chance of Treasure Bone Level geniuses appearing.
Still, in other forces’ territories, Treasure Bone Level geniuses are occasionally found.
However, Li Qian didn’t plan to visit the Assessment Hall to see the new Inner Sect Disciples.
Among them, there could very likely be geniuses belonging to the Hidden Bone or Contrary Bone category, he couldn’t possibly address each one he met, could he?
...
The calm and quiet time of ringing the bell for cultivation always passed very quickly.
Another two years have gone by.
In these two years, Li Qian’s Heartless Sword Intent had smoothly reached 99 progress at the Heavenly Phenomenon Level.
But it was stuck again.
The reasons for being stuck were a bit complicated. In addition to his own reasons, he felt that it also had some relations to the Human World.
Whenever he comprehended Sword Intent, he could always feel an invisible oppression from the surrounding world, making his spirit feel suffocated.
Combining the information mentioned in the Jade Scroll, Li Qian guessed it must be the suppression caused by the Human World’s barrier.
Although there was a problem with the barrier of the Human World weakening the impact on Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials, it still restricted Myriad Phenomena Martial Saints. Otherwise, beings like Martial Saints and Demon Saints of the Myriad Phenomena Level would have already appeared in the Human World without any restraint.
However, Li Qian believed that he could break through to the Myriad Phenomena Level.
The feeling this time wasn’t like the previous breakthrough to the Heavenly Phenomenon Level, where he didn’t feel that invisible membrane, but only the pure oppressive force from the barrier.
As long as he could overcome it, he would eventually break through.
Over these two plus years, the Li Mo sisters have always stayed at the Chen Bell Platform and never left.
Even at the Chen Bell Platform, Yu Shu, Li Mo’s sister, could still feel the anomaly of the dark green bat pattern on her wrist, although not very noticeable. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Evidently, the Blood God of the Demon City must have been always trying to get through to Yu Shu.
No movements have been seen from Lion Camel Demon City; it seems they are accumulating power, preparing for something big.
The Taiwu Dao Mansion has not seen any new Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials, and the severely underpowered Yu Family can now only be considered as a mere peripheral power of Taiwu Dao Mansion, mostly just leveraging Taiwu Dao Mansion’s name to do some things.
Moreover, the power of the Yu Family has practically withdrawn from Xuanzhou completely.
Now, Xuanzhou is basically divided between the He Family and the Divine Sword Sect.
Dong!
The Chen Bell rings once again at the hour of 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.
Having just rung the bell, Li Qian also starts to comprehend the Heartless Sword Intent.
This time... he suddenly has an unusual feeling, as if it’s not the same as usual.
Suddenly, he looks up at the sky, not knowing when it started, the sky above was covered with ominous clouds, giving a sense of crushing oppression like ill-omens covering a city.
"Is this a sign that my Sword Intent is about to break through, causing an abnormal reaction from the barrier of the Human World?"
Li Qian’s heart moved, blessed by a stroke of insight.
He was almost certain that he was about to break through to the Myriad Phenomena.
But it seems that breaking through from Heavenly Phenomenon to Myriad Phenomena isn’t that simple.
Not only the response of the heavenly and earthly phenomena, but also... the Heartless Sword Shadow in his mind flickered uncertainly, switching between tangible and intangible, his entire mental consciousness seemed about to be completely submerged in it.
"It seems that this breakthrough to Myriad Phenomena is not only about the Sword Intent itself, but it also involves the secrets of my own Divine Soul."
Li Qian forcibly gathered his spirits, not letting himself fall into his own Sword Intent, and jumped down from the bell tower, telling two disciples who were cultivating, "I need to go into closed-door cultivation for a while, during this period, no one should disturb me."
"Yes, Master."
The two hurriedly responded.
But they were curious, having been in the Chen Bell Platform for many years, they had never seen their master in closed-door cultivation, had they?
Then Li Qian also instructed the Li Mo sisters not to leave the Chen Bell Platform, and then he entered the inside of the bell tower, moving from the storage room into the cellar below the bell tower.
He definitely wouldn’t leave the Chen Bell Platform to go into closed-door cultivation.
Because he wasn’t sure how long this breakthrough would take and what state he would be in.
Only within the domain of the Chen Bell was he safest.
Even if some phenomena appeared, he wouldn’t be able to care about that much.
He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and waved his hand, several Array Plates appeared, forming a small Array that could provide some defensive power.
Then his entire thought and awareness focused on the Heartless Sword Intent.
In an instant, his consciousness completely submerged in it, and he had no awareness of the outside world.
At the same time, the original ominous clouds in the sky also gradually dissipated, and the sky cleared up again, which made the people on the Chen Bell Platform a bit puzzled, wondering about this strange weather.
"Where’s your master?"
In the evening, Zhou Buping returned to the Chen Bell Platform and not seeing Li Qian, immediately asked.
"Sect Ancestor, Master said he’s going into closed-door cultivation."
Bai Yun said.
"Closed-door cultivation?"
Zhou Buping was stunned.
He had never seen Li Qian in closed-door cultivation.
Could it be that he had experienced some sort of breakthrough?
Based on his understanding, his disciple was at least an Intermediate Great Grandmaster, possibly even a Top Grandmaster.
His Sword Intent was even more unquestionable.
"Could it be that his Sword Intent is breaking through to the True Image Level?"
His heart moved, and he couldn’t help but get excited.
Once the Sword Intent breaks through to the True Image Level, would his disciple not become a Heavenly Person then?
