Chapter 232: Chapter 176: Barrier Closed (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2 "Grandmaster, the sky, the sky has cracked..." Chai Yingxue pointed at the sky, crying out in alarm. Cheep cheep cheep... Little Black also seemed frightened by the situation in the sky, chirping loudly. Amidst the cracks, it seemed as though an enormous amount of rain was pouring down, whoosh... Amidst the thunder and lightning and fierce winds, a heavy rain began to fall. Li Qian reached out to catch the rainwater. It was full of intense Primordial Qi. This was a spiritual rain. This torrential rain lasted for over an hour, and the crack in the sky also persisted for over an hour, before gradually disappearing. But Li Qian could feel that the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth had become richer and had increased manyfold. What was most peculiar was that the invisible oppressive feeling between heaven and earth seemed to have completely dissipated. He actually felt an unprecedented sense of easiness. "Was the barrier closed?" Li Qian murmured to himself. The closure of the barrier also meant the disappearance of the oppression he faced as a Heavenly Person in the Human World. It also meant that his advantages in the Human World would no longer exist. "But it doesn’t matter much. I started as an ordinary person and step by step, I’ve reached the rank of Martial Saint... Surely, I’m stronger now than when I first joined the Divine Sword Sect as a servant disciple, right?" Li Qian was still quite optimistic. In the following period, Li Qian mostly figured out some of the impacts after the closure of the barrier in the Human World. The Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth had become several times denser. But... the Primordial Qi had become much more violent. This would lead to more risks for Innate Martial Artists in their cultivation as they absorbed the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. It was said that within the Divine Sword Territory, many Innate Martial Artists had experienced various degrees of deviation from sanity due to absorbing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. But this had not occurred within the Divine Sword Sect. It should be related to the first toll of the Chen Bell. Practitioners within the Divine Sword Sect had a regular routine, preferring to cultivate around the time of 5 a.m. to 7 a.m., which was the most effective and yielded twice the results. Li Qian’s cultivation speed had also increased significantly. As for how much exactly, further observation was needed. One day, Chai Shao suddenly returned to the Chen Bell Platform. "Master, I feel I’m about to make a breakthrough." "Hmm, you reached the Late Stage of the True Pill Realm a year ago, and now that your Sword Intent has broken through to the True Image Level, it’s indeed time for a breakthrough." Li Qian merely sensed it slightly and made the judgment. Normally, Chai Shao would need to grind at this stage for another three to five years before possibly breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm. But with the closure of the Human World barrier, various factors facilitated the release of Chai Shao’s potential of innate talent and comprehension, hence the rapid breakthrough. After all, Chai Shao was a Perfect Innate, with Root Bone comparable to the Treasure Light Level talent. In the following period, Chai Shao remained in the Chen Bell Platform in closed-door cultivation, until after more than a month, Heaven and Earth Essence Qi converged, and powerful True Image Level Sword Intent diffused, filling Wuxin Peak, causing a series of unusual phenomena. Many experts of the Divine Sword Sect noticed the situation at Wuxin Peak. The Heavenly Persons and many Grandmasters, Great Grandmasters staying in the Divine Sword Sect, all gathered outside Wuxin Peak. After a long while, Chai Shao emerged from the closed-door wooden hut, his aura transformed significantly. "Master." Chai Shao showed a delighted expression. He had finally achieved the rank of Heavenly Person. Becoming the second Heavenly Person of the Wuxin Peak lineage. At this moment, other Heavenly Persons of the Divine Sword Sect came to offer their congratulations. They all felt quite emotional. Elder Li had achieved Heavenly Person around the age of sixty. Now his disciple Chai Shao reached Heavenly Person, and it was around the age of sixty as well. Such a rate of breakthrough, observed across the entire Divine Sword Sect, was definitely second to none. "Elder Li, regarding the abnormal celestial phenomena that appeared some time ago, I wonder if the ancestors have any instructions?" Elder Qing Song asked. As the ancestors had passed down decrees more than two years ago, the high-ranking Heavenly Persons of the Divine Sword Sect also knew a little about this matter. The recent months’ abnormal changes had made them quite uneasy. "No." Li Qian shook his head. Elder Qing Song hence did not continue to inquire. At this moment, Sect Leader Zhuo Yang came over, "Elder Qing Song, we’ve just received a hawk message, there’s a village in Tongguang County where hundreds of people turned into mummified corpses overnight, it seems to be the doing of a demon." "What? Demons have appeared again?" Elder Qing Song’s brows furrowed slightly. Since that demon calamity that occurred in Haizhou, no demon had appeared, and it had been almost ten years of quiet. Furthermore, that incident did not cause significant impacts, at most several major Daoist factions suffered mysterious heavy losses. He knew that the appearance of demons was not trivial, coupled with the recent abnormal celestial phenomena and the influx of many foreign Heavenly Person family powers, combined with the ancestors’ decrees mentioning that the future would be challenging, perhaps a greater wave of demons was about to resurface. Therefore, he and many other Heavenly Persons left Chen Bell Platform, preparing to deal with the demon matter. Chen Bell Platform became calm once more. Li Qian’s other disciples, upon learning that Chai Shao had broken through to Heavenly Person, also rushed back to the Chen Bell Platform to celebrate for Chai Shao. "The outside will be very chaotic and dangerous soon; all of you must be cautious and careful." Li Qian urged them before they left. Demons coexisting with humans would definitely become the norm in the future. Perhaps powerful demons, like the Demon Saints, might have a lower chance of appearing in the core areas of the Human World, as such beings would definitely be monitored by the Martial Saints of the Martial League... but smaller demons and even Sky-level demons couldn’t be completely guarded against. Of course, nothing was absolute.
