Chapter 154 - 129: Treasure Bone Genius (Requesting Monthly Ticket)

Chapter 154: Chapter 129: Treasure Bone Genius (Requesting Monthly Ticket) Sword Intent finally reached the Heavenly Phenomenon level. Moreover, his Great River Sword Qi also advanced to the second layer. Li Qian revealed a smile on his face. It really wasn’t easy. Suddenly, Li Qian’s figure moved, he soared into the air and flew towards the direction of the Divine Sword Sect. Upon nearing the Divine Sword Sect, he descended and slowly made his way back to the Chen Bell Platform. "Senior Brother Li, when Little Black returned, it seemed a bit unusual, I wonder what happened?" Liu Ming hurriedly came up to say. "Oh?" Li Qian quickly went behind the bell tower, only to see Little Black lying on a tree trunk, appearing somewhat listless. "Has it been like this since it returned?" Li Qian asked curiously. "Yes, not long after you left, it flew back, kept calling in the air for a long time, then finally came down and became like this." Liu Ming nodded and said. Li Qian used his Spiritual Perception to sense the situation inside Little Black, and there seemed to be nothing unusual. In the following days, Little Black’s condition still showed no improvement. It even began not to eat or drink. Its feathers also began to fall off. In just a few days, it had turned into an ugly, bald eagle. As time progressed, Li Qian finally noticed some abnormalities in Little Black’s body; its blood and qi had become extremely active, all converging towards a certain spot inside its body. At this time, Little Black’s mental state seemed to improve a bit, and it began to eat again. After some time, Little Black’s appetite significantly increased. Moreover, it started to grow again. The newly grown feathers had also changed color, appearing to be a deep dark red. With these changes in Little Black, Li Qian couldn’t help but speculate. Could this be a transformation? Otherwise, it was hard to explain. Why would Little Black undergo transformation? Could it have eaten something? During this period, Li Qian had not only been feeding Little Black Feeding Pills but also a lot of Azure Dragon Spirit Fish Meat. Thus, Little Black’s transformation was changing daily. He was somewhat excited, wondering what Little Black would eventually become. At this time, his master Zhou Buping also returned from the Divine Sword Hall, bringing Li Qian astonishing news. More than half a month ago, a ground-shaking battle took place in Jade Capital, and ultimately, the rebellion broke through the capital. The Grand Empress Dowager fell during the battle. The rebels also suffered significant losses. In the end, the rebels and the Imperial Family reached an agreement. An Imperial Prince assumed the position of Martial Emperor, the rebellion of involved princes was not pursued, and they were allowed to retain lands and military rights, among other powers. "The Grand Empress Dowager actually fell?" Li Qian was greatly shocked. Moreover, from the description of the battle by his master, the terrifying scene seemed to have reached the level of a Heavenly Phenomenon attack. "It seems that the Great Chang is not only the Old Emperor Wu at the Heavenly Phenomenon Level, the Grand Empress Dowager, and even among the rebels, there seems to be a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial." Li Qian murmured to himself. He couldn’t help but recall the old man riding a donkey backwards he encountered on the Kunwu Road, who was at least a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial, possibly even stronger. So he was convinced that this world was not that simple; how could Great Chang not have Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials. During that great war in Jade Capital, all the Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials came out. Perhaps there were also Martial Saint-level experts battling in secrecy. He had just become a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial, definitely not a match for those established Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials, not to mention a possible Martial Saint. Thus, he felt that his decision not to go to Jade Capital to watch the excitement was a very wise choice. Next, he must continue to practice low-profile by striking the bell. Perhaps only a Martial Saint could give him a certain level of self-protection. He now had a speculation. The time his Sword Intent broke through to the Heavenly Phenomenon level coincided exactly with the outbreak of the great battle in Jade Capital. Little Black’s transformation... also at this time point. Combined with the bizarre cracks he saw spread across the sky that day, it was as if the sky had torn apart. He even asked his master if he had seen the phenomenon of cracks appearing in the sky. His master said he hadn’t seen it, but many people at the Divine Sword Sect had. So he suspected that the appearance of cracks in the sky, his breakthrough in Sword Intent, and Little Black’s transformation... perhaps it all had something to do with the great battle in Jade Capital. But how exactly they were connected, Li Qian didn’t know. Anyway, the information obtained by the Divine Sword Sect was not particularly detailed; under such a great battle, it was hard for spies from the Divine Sword Sect in Jade Capital to see the truth. Anyhow, the reconciliation between the rebels and Imperial Family marked the end of the rebellion. However, he also knew that this represented the total loss of the Imperial Family’s control over the territories of Great Chang. Another, even greater chaos might emerge in the not-so-distant future. .... Time flies, and more than a year quickly passes. With the end of the warfare, the Divine Sword Sect also entered a rapid recovery phase. Moreover, the Martial Arts Army of the Divine Sword Sect did not disband. They continued to maintain it. Only keeping around five thousand people, the minimum threshold of a Martial Arts Army. Of course, maintaining such a large Martial Arts Army put a substantial resource pressure on the Divine Sword Sect. This was just in case of emergencies. In today’s world, with the Imperial Family losing control over the whole world and local powers becoming more prominent, subsequent wars of consolidation were bound to occur. If the Divine Sword Sect wanted to protect itself in such a turbulent era, it had to keep a sufficiently strong force. Divine Sword Hall. Many substantial-power elders and Peak Masters gathered together, discussing matters. "This year, the frequency of mutation phenomena appearing in various places has significantly increased. What exactly is going on?" One substantial-power elder said. "The cause is temporarily unknown, but the Imperial Family had notified us at the Divine Sword Sect over a year ago to pay close attention to mutation occurrences. It seems they knew such situations would arise ahead of time." One Peak Master sighed and said, "Looking at the trend now, it seems to be unstoppable, occurring more frequently." "There’s another matter—Moon Worship Sect seems to be active in various places again. Could these mutation phenomena be related to the Moon Worship Sect?" "It shouldn’t be; if the Moon Worship Sect had that capability, they wouldn’t have become the rat crossing the street." "We still can’t underestimate the Moon Worship Sect. In the previous rebellion, the Moon Worship Sect deployed the Half-Demon Army several times. Their strength is definitely much stronger than we imagined, so we have to increase our efforts to clear the Moon Worship Sect. Once it spreads in our Divine Sword Sect’s territory, it will become very troublesome." ... As everyone was discussing, suddenly someone rushed into the Great Hall. "Sect Leader, there’s fantastic news." This person was the new head of the Assessment Hall, Elder Xiang. This person was born a commoner and was also one of the elders who advocated most for increasing the proportion of commoners. "Oh, Elder Xiang, what good news?" Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu asked curiously. "Sect Leader, we have discovered a peerless martial arts talent in Changping County of Sword State." Elder Xiang said excitedly. "A peerless martial arts talent?" Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu was incredibly surprised. "Elder Xiang, what kind of martial arts talent deserves you to describe it as peerless?" "Could it be, someone above Golden Bone, a Jade Bone?" "Golden Bone refers just to ordinary talent... In our Divine Sword Sect, each recruitment yields more than a dozen. Didn’t the last recruitment yield seventy-eight Golden Bone talents? Elder Xiang mentioning this, surely it must be a Jade Bone..." "If it really is a Jade Bone, that indeed is rare; over the years, Jade Bone talents can be counted on one hand." The present elders also said laughing. Even if it is a Jade Bone, such a big reaction seems overstated, right? They all thought Elder Xiang’s reaction was too great. "No, no, no... not a Jade Bone talent... but a treasure bone talent..." Elder Xiang repeatedly shook his head. "What?" "Treasure bone talent? Elder Xiang, are you serious?" "How could this be possible, a treasure bone talent, known as a martial arts prodigy, our Divine Sword Sect hasn’t had a treasure bone talent for a thousand years." "Not just our Divine Sword Sect, the entire Dachang has hardly seen any treasure bone talents, they are just legends, and whether they truly exist is still an unknown." "Elder Xiang, you couldn’t have been mistaken, could you?" ... The present elders were all astonished, hardly believing it. "Sect Leader, I was skeptical too, so I personally tested this treasure bone talent; her root bone is like glaze, imbued with treasure light, definitely the legendary treasure bone talent." Elder Xiang asserted confidently, "Moreover, I have already brought this treasure bone talent back to the sect, she is just outside the hall now." "Elder Xiang, what are we waiting for, bring her in quickly." Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu hurriedly said. "Alright." Elder Xiang quickly went out and brought in a little girl about ten years old. Due to the last recruitment, almost all eligible youths from ten to seventeen had been tested, and this recruitment mainly focused on those about ten years old. However... a small portion of the initial candidates who failed the last recruitment could participate in the inner gate assessment for the second time. After all, the last recruitment was about selecting the best among the best. Surely there was a part whose talents were not bad, who failed due to overly fierce competition. So the Divine Sword Sect gave them a second chance. Swoosh swoosh swoosh... Powerful Spiritual Perceptions landed on the little girl. Hiss... Soon, the room filled with sounds of people inhaling sharply. "God, is she really a treasure bone talent?" At that moment, everyone’s eyes became heated. "This disciple, I’ll take her." A Peak Master suddenly shouted, rushing up to the little girl and grabbing her. "Why should you take her?" Another Peak Master yelled. "No one fights with me..." The other influential elder peak masters also crowded around, almost ready to come to blows. This is a legendary treasure bone talent after all. It’s said that for such a talent to cultivate into a Heavenly Person is as easy as flipping a hand. Wow... The little girl was frightened and started crying. "Alright, you’re all grown in years, can you not snatch her? Don’t scare her; let her choose on her own." Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu saw this scene and quickly spoke. Then he walked to the little girl and said with the most kindly face, "Little girl, I am the Sect Leader of Divine Sword Sect, they all have to listen to me, if you take me as your master, you will then be the direct disciple of the sect leader..." Other influential elders and peak masters were speechless, not expecting the Sect Leader to act this way. They also started speaking up, hoping to have the little girl take them as her master. But the little girl had already been scared stiff by these overenthusiastic old fellows, at a loss what to do. "Humph, a treasure bone talent, taking you as her master, she’d be utterly ruined by you." Suddenly, a cold snort resonated. A bald white-haired elder floated into the Great Hall. It was Heavenly Person Xiao Wendao. Seeing Xiao Wendao come in, the influential elder peak masters sensed trouble. Wasn’t their great grand-uncle about to take a disciple? Then what chance would they have? The most important thing was, if Great Grand-Uncle took a disciple, how would they address this little girl then? At this moment, their hearts were a bit dense. "Little girl, I am the strongest Heavenly Person in Divine Sword Sect, take me as your master, and I can teach you to fly like a bird." Xiao Wendao scolded the crowd, then kindly spoke to the little girl. "Old grandpa, can you really fly?" The little girl was immediately captivated. "Of course." Xiao Wendao smiled and nodded. Then he took the little girl’s hand and flew out of the Divine Sword Hall. "Wow, I really am flying, I’m in the air." The little girl let out a surprised laugh. All the elder peak masters within the hall silently watched, secretly cursing themselves for not being a Heavenly Person. ....
