Chapter 136: Chapter 118 Great River Sword Qi First Layer Cultivated (3K for monthly tickets) freēwebnovel.com "Sect Leader, I prefer tranquility and can’t handle too many restrictions; this opportunity should be given to Senior Brother Chang instead. After all, he has been at the Royal Divine Martial Academy, so he’s more suited to join Dragon Guard Temple." Li Qian said. Becoming a Heavenly Person is a sure thing for him. Within a year, he will become a Heavenly Person. "Li Qian, don’t you regret this." Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu said. "Disciple will never regret it." Li Qian shook his head. He’d be sick to go to Dragon Guard Temple. "Alright, then you may go back." Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu waved his hand. "Sect Leader, then disciple will take his leave." After bowing, Li Qian turned and walked out. "This young man..." Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu watched Li Qian’s retreating figure and couldn’t help but shake his head. He had never seen anyone who could so easily refuse such a great opportunity. "Lei Zhao, go to Chen Bell Platform and call over Chang Xiaoyao." He suddenly called out. "Yes, Master." The voice of Lei Zhao sounded outside the palace gate. ..... Chen Bell Platform. Dong Dong Dong Dong... The clear bell sound echoed. Li Qian had just struck the bell and was about to cultivate when he saw his master Zhou Buping returning from the mountain base. "Li Qian, why did you give away that opportunity?" Zhou Buping hastily asked, "Do you know how rare that opportunity was?" "Master, do you think your disciple needs that opportunity?" Li Qian touched his nose as he spoke. "Uh... although you are a Perfect Innate, it could still speed things up a bit and...your master feels that your cultivation pace isn’t as fast as imagined..." Zhou Buping switched to Sound Transmission into Secrets. After all, the words ’Perfect Innate’ are better left unsaid. "Master, I’ve had a breakthrough recently and have accidentally reached the midterm of the True Essence Realm." Li Qian said. "Cultivation breakthrough?" Zhou Buping looked surprised, "Alright, your cultivation progress is decent, but what about your Sword Intent?" As he spoke, he suddenly released his Sword Intent, enveloping Li Qian. Li Qian remained unshaken. Seeing this, Zhou Buping immediately increased the intensity of his Sword Intent. But even when he pushed his Sword Intent to the limit, Li Qian’s expression remained normal, as if Zhou’s Sword Intent didn’t exist at all. "Very good... it seems your Illusion Level Sword Intent has reached a certain level." Zhou Buping immediately beamed with joy. Because he knew the level of his own Sword Intent, although not fully recovered, it still had the standard of a Great Grandmaster. Since Li Qian could withstand his Sword Intent suppression, it indicated that Li Qian’s Heartless Sword Intent must be at the top Grandmaster tier. It was just his cultivation that was slightly lacking. But this further demonstrates just how terrifying Li Qian’s comprehension is. He didn’t bring up Dragon Guard Temple again. Perhaps, for his disciple, training in an environment like Chen Bell Platform is more suitable. Joining the Dragon Guard Temple might even hinder cultivation. .... Taiping County. Mang Niu County. A group of people arrived here. "It should be here." A white-haired elder held a map, pointing at the area under Bull Horn Cliff, which was once again covered by vines. Soon, people began clearing the vines and bushes, revealing a natural cave inside. The group walked in. The white-haired elder led the way, moving deeper into the cave until they finally came before the entrance of a cavern. Written above were the words, Taiping Sacred Cave. "It’s, it’s here..." The old man was so excited, tears streamed down his cheeks. The Holy Sect had spent hundreds of years searching for this place. Only today, based on four treasure maps and some other secret clues acquired over several years, he finally found the legendary Taiping Sacred Cave. This was the origin of the Taiping Sect. And as a continuation of the Taiping Sect, the Moon Worship Sect had always sought to restore the glory of the Taiping Sect. "Sect Hierarch, why is this door open?" Someone asked. "Even if the door is open, without the secret techniques of our Moon Worship Sect, no one can enter." The white-haired elder said confidently. After speaking, he immediately sat cross-legged at the entrance. The others did the same. They began to chant, and gradually, a faint glow emitted from their bodies, connecting together to form a strange illusion of a Heavenly Wolf howling at the moon. So, under the enveloping strange illusions, the group slowly walked towards the cave entrance. As they stepped into the cave, the white-haired elder’s brows slightly furrowed because, according to the scriptures of the Moon Worship Sect pertaining to the Taiping Sacred Cave, one is constantly subjected to the divine authority of the Heavenly Wolf Divine Beast. Only through devotion to the great Moon Mother could one receive protection and walk within the domain of the Heavenly Wolf Divine Beast. But now, he felt no such invisible divine presence. It was as if they were walking in a normal cave. This puzzled him. Further inside, a huge figure was coiled atop a platform. However, this figure was withered and shriveled, resembling a dried-up corpse. Though it still emitted an unsettling aura, it was merely due to its massive size. Not remotely linked to the so-called divine authority. "What is this?" The white-haired elder grew more puzzled. Why was it different from the legend? Shouldn’t he see a majestic and divine Heavenly Wolf Divine Beast? With doubts, he approached the huge, dried-up corpse, which though resembled the legendary appearance, was completely desiccated. When he attempted to remove the secret techniques of the Moon Worship Sect, the invisible aura persisted but was not overwhelming. "How could this be?" The white-haired elder muttered to himself, somewhat doubting life. He took a deep breath and stepped onto the platform, approaching the giant corpse. His gaze fell on a hole on the corpse which seemed to have been broken open by some external force, and after a close inspection, his brows involuntarily furrowed. Something seemed to have been taken from inside. "Sect Hierarch, what exactly is going on here?" Someone couldn’t help but speak out. "Outsiders have entered here and taken the Divine Core from the body of the Heavenly Wolf Divine Beast. We are too late." The voice of the white-haired elder carried endless loss. This Heavenly Wolf Divine Beast was crucial for the revival of the Moon Worship Sect. Without the Divine Power of the Heavenly Wolf Divine Beast, how could these high-ranking members of the Moon Worship Sect achieve true divinity? Everyone’s expression changed dramatically. Did this mean that the centuries of efforts by the Moon Worship Sect had entirely turned into an illusory bubble? "Sect Hierarch, do you think the one who took the Divine Core could be someone from the Holy Sect army that eradicated the Holy Daughter?" That person suddenly said, "Based on the Divine Treasures clues left when the Holy Daughter died... not only did that person annihilate the entire Holy Sect army by himself, but he could even suppress those in the Divine Transformation state." "Mm, that is very likely, and judging from various signs, this person might just be within this country sealed off by the Taixing Dao. We must lure him out and take back the Divine Core." The white-haired elder nodded as he spoke. The Divine Core was vital for the revival of the Moon Worship Sect, so they must retrieve it at all costs. .... At a secluded mountain top within the Divine Sword Sect, Li Qian was sitting on a rock with a peculiar jade plate in front of him. The jade plate was carved with strange patterns and inlaid with a Primordial Stone. This was an Array Plate. It was something he had created recently. To properly set up an array, simply using True Qi for the arrangement was unstable. At least his cultivation had not yet reached the level where True Qi could persist. The Qi Formations laid out using True Qi could only be maintained for a period of time. A true array combines both the Array Plate and the Qi Formation. With a flick of Li Qian’s finger, the Array Plate flew out, hovering in the air as streams of True Qi from his body were released, constructing two basic Qi Formations in the air, which correspond remotely with the Array Plate. After completing this step, he was sweating. Buzz! The Array Plate vibrated slightly, emitting light, seemingly integrating with the Qi Formation. Then, the Qi Formation could exist for a long time. The light released from the Array Plate gradually intensified, and with a sudden shake, an invisible wave spread outwards. Subsequently, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi nearby seemed to be pulled in by an invisible force, accumulating within the array area and gradually forming a denser field of Primordial Qi. "This Gathering Essence Array is indeed quite good." Li Qian, feeling the enhanced concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi around him, showed a satisfied expression. Practicing within the Spirit Gathering Array would be much more efficient than outside. The operation of this Spirit Gathering Array required the consumption of Primordial Stones. After all, the operation of the Array Plate was powered by the embedded Primordial Stone. Thus, it used the Primordial Qi from Primordial Stones to gather Heaven and Earth Essence Qi for cultivation—whether this was cost-effective or not would be known only after use. In this set of Lion Camel Ridge Array Solutions, the Spirit Gathering Array was just the most basic application. The Seven Base Formations combined could form trapping arrays, defensive arrays, killing arrays, etc... Eventually, the Seven Base Formations united to set up the real Lion Camel Ridge Great Array. Li Qian currently could only set up the simplest Spirit Gathering Array. In the following days, Li Qian experimented with the use of the Spirit Gathering Array. Generally speaking, cultivating with the Spirit Gathering Array, compared to directly using Primordial Stones and absorbing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi for cultivation, was slightly more cost-effective. It could save about ten percent of the consumption of Primordial Stones, yet the efficiency of cultivation would not decrease. This ten percent was not little. Over time, it could save a significant amount of expenses. After all, although he still had quite a number of Primordial Stones, without a source, it was one less each time one was used. Thus, another month passed. Every day, Li Qian regularly practiced by striking the bell, not finding it monotonous, but rather enjoying it. One day, just after practicing the Great River Sword Qi, he suddenly felt the vast Sword River constructed by the Heartless Sword Intent in his mind slightly tremble. Surprisingly, it did not disperse, but instead became even more solid. "What is this?" Joy surged in Li Qian’s heart. The first level of Great River Sword Qi, finally achieved. Feeling the eager Vast Sword River Intent in his Sea of Consciousness, Li Qian forcibly suppressed it. He knew that the first level of Great River Sword Qi belonged to the Heavenly Phenomenon Level Martial Arts, and once released, it would definitely cause an anomaly. Now was not the time to test its power. .... PS: The first update of three thousand words, asking for a double monthly ticket. The reason why there was no update at midnight is mainly because I have been writing very late these past few days, and combined with a cold, I have been very tired mentally and physically, making writing quite difficult. Thus, I rested early, and I am truly sorry. Follow current novels on freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
