Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 111

Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Someone’s Here to Seize Territory

“Lion Camel Ridge Formation Manual?”

Li Qian was extremely surprised.

He didn’t expect that this jade stone would contain a secret manual for formations.

At this moment, the lines and demonic script on the jade stone had all twisted and melted, transforming into a bizarre formation diagram, undergoing all sorts of changes, unfathomable and unpredictable.

Although he knew nothing about formations, just looking at the evolving diagram made him feel it was incredibly magical.

After a long time, Li Qian slowly opened his eyes, letting out a breath. Many formation knowledge had appeared in his mind.

“This formation manual is too complex, isn’t it?”

After reading it, Li Qian felt his brain wasn’t enough.

The difficulty involved in this formation manual was like learning advanced mathematics in his previous life.

Suddenly, he closed his eyes again, focusing his mind. With a thought, the sound of the Time Bell rang in his mind.

Immediately, he felt his thinking sharpen, as if hole had opened up. His comprehension efficiency greatly increased.

After a long time, Li Qian opened his eyes once again, a smile appearing on his face.

He had to admit, the Time Bell’s auxiliary effect was truly amazing.

It was definitely like having divine assistance.

“I wonder if my system interface will show it after I gain an introductory understanding of formations?”

Li Qian thought to himself.

If it could be displayed, then it would be completely different. It meant there would be progress, and every bit of comprehension would be solidified into data.

However, he needed to gain an introductory understanding first.

Gaining an introductory understanding of formations was different from gaining an introductory understanding of internal skill manuals.

This involved a vast amount of basic formation knowledge. He had to understand them one by one before he could possibly gain an introductory understanding.

He was not in a hurry.

Anyway, this formation manual was stored in his mind. He just needed to learn it slowly.

In the following days, Li Qian’s bell-ringing cultivation life added another task: comprehending the Lion Camel Ridge Formation Manual.

His time was even more packed.

He discovered that formations were actually quite interesting, especially after he understood them. He developed a strong interest.

No wonder those math whizzes in his previous life could learn such dry and profound advanced mathematics. Li Qian used to not understand, but now he finally understood a bit. As a student who struggled with math, he couldn’t experience the joy of those math whizzes learning calculus.

Every time he understood a profound formation knowledge, he felt a strong sense of satisfaction, immersing himself deeply.

Now, whenever he had time, he would ponder the Lion Camel Ridge Formation Manual, tirelessly. Often, a long time would pass without him realizing it. Only when Liu Ming reminded him that it was almost time to ring the bell would he come back to his senses.

While Li Qian was immersed in learning formations, Divine Sword Sect launched a plan to suppress Mysterious Netherworld Sect.

Every day, many Divine Sword Sect martial artists quietly left.

“Brother Qian, I’m planning to participate in a suppression mission.”

One day, Chen Yong returned from the Inner Sect and suddenly said.

“Didn’t you just come back not long ago? You’re going on another mission?”

Li Qian was surprised.

“I volunteered. I heard that the contribution points for suppression missions these days are very high, several times higher than before.”

Chen Yong said.

“It should be a suppression mission related to Mysterious Netherworld Sect, right?”

Li Qian said.

“Yes.”

Chen Yong nodded.

“Then you have to be careful.”

Li Qian said.

Although Mysterious Netherworld Sect was on the verge of collapse, such a thousand-year-old sect, even if it had suffered heavy losses, was still a formidable force. This mission was still quite dangerous.

“I’ve encountered even more dangerous situations. I think I have a tough life. Besides, if I don’t fight hard now, I won’t have such a good opportunity in the future.”

Chen Yong said.

Li Qian nodded and didn’t say anything more. Chen Yong was different from him. If he didn’t fight hard, how could he obtain cultivation resources and improve his strength?

He wouldn’t participate in this suppression mission anyway.

It wasn’t about the danger. Mysterious Netherworld Sect didn’t even have Celestial Beings anymore. There was really no one who could threaten him.

It was mainly a waste of time.

To wipe out a large sect like Mysterious Netherworld Sect was not something that could be done overnight. It would definitely take a long time.

Days passed day by day.

Li Qian’s learning of formations also gradually deepened. Although he had the Time Bell’s assistance, it still took him almost a month and a half to finally gain an introductory understanding of the Lion Camel Ridge Formation Manual.

Host: Li Qian.

Cultivation Level: Innate True Elixir (Middle Stage 59/100).

Sacrificial Instrument: Time Bell (Law 5079/10000).

Martial Arts: Sword-Piercing Fist (Perfection), Heartless Sword Manual (Perfection), Immaculate Holy Body (Perfection), Soul-Chasing Sword Technique (Perfection), Great River Sword Qi (First Layer 21/100).

Martial Intent: Heartless Sword Intent (True Image 59/100).

Divine Ability: Blood and Qi Sanctuary (Rudimentary Form 15/100).

Secret Techniques: Myriad Transforming Sword Qi, Blood Burning Technique.

Auxiliary Techniques: Lion Camel Ridge Formation Manual (Introductory Understanding 1/100).

Looking at the latest information on the system interface, a smile appeared on Li Qian’s face.

It was not easy.

It took more than a month to learn the knowledge of the Lion Camel Ridge Formation Manual. He had to say that formation cultivation was truly too difficult.

In Divine Sword Sect, there were professions like alchemists, spirit herb cultivators, and exotic beast tamers. These professions required a lot of professional knowledge, and learning them was time-consuming and laborious.

It was precisely because of this that martial arts experts rarely learned these professions as well. It was too much of a waste of time and might affect their martial arts cultivation.

◈◈◈

Similarly, although most of these professionals would cultivate martial arts for physical fitness or self-defense, they would definitely not invest too much time in it.

“Learning formations is probably a hundred times more difficult than those professions.”

Li Qian thought to himself.

However, he wouldn’t back down from the challenge. He would treat it as a hobby.

Anyway, he had plenty of time. Learning an auxiliary profession wouldn’t hurt. It wouldn’t delay his martial arts cultivation.

Xuan Province, Guangze County.

The major martial arts sect, Mysterious Netherworld Sect, was located here.

The current Mysterious Netherworld Sect was like a tree falling and the monkeys scattering, a desolate scene.

Many disciples fled one after another. Although the higher-ups tried their best to stop them, they couldn’t stop this trend from spreading.

Everyone knew that the giant ship of Mysterious Netherworld Sect was about to sink.

Of course, there were also many disciples who were willing to coexist with Mysterious Netherworld Sect.

Divine Sword Sect had already mobilized a large number of martial artists from its own territory, practically surrounding the mountain gate of Mysterious Netherworld Sect.

In addition to Divine Sword Sect’s own disciples, there were also many affiliated forces that had some relationship with Divine Sword Sect. Everyone knew that this was the time to strike while the iron was hot. As long as they followed Divine Sword Sect and wiped out Mysterious Netherworld Sect, they would definitely benefit.

The reason why they didn’t completely surround them was to prevent Mysterious Netherworld Sect from uniting as one. It could accelerate the internal division of Mysterious Netherworld Sect, thereby reducing losses.

In a large camp, Hou Shuwen, the Unity Peak Master of Divine Sword Sect, was sitting in the main seat, making various arrangements.

“Is there still no clue about the whereabouts of Mysterious Netherworld Sect’s Lineage Seed disciples?”

Hou Shuwen asked in a deep voice.

Divine Sword Sect had a Lineage Seed continuation plan back then. A major martial arts sect like Mysterious Netherworld Sect would also have one.

Mysterious Netherworld Sect might have already implemented the Lineage Seed continuation plan when Prince Luo’s Residence showed signs of defeat.

Therefore, it was conceivable how difficult it would be to find the whereabouts of Mysterious Netherworld Sect’s Lineage Seed disciples.

“There’s been no news. Although our undercover agents in Mysterious Netherworld Sect have been keeping an eye on them, unfortunately, Mysterious Netherworld Sect learned from the leak of our Lineage Seed information, so they’re even more cautious.”

Immortal Woman Wan, the Purple Lightning Peak Master, shook her head.

“Then let’s leave it aside for now. Let’s wipe out Mysterious Netherworld Sect’s mountain gate first.”

Hou Shuwen said, “The number of disciples fleeing from Mysterious Netherworld Sect every day is already very small. The rest should be determined individuals preparing to attack.”

As for those disciples who had fled, Divine Sword Sect wouldn’t let them go unchecked. Instead, they would adopt a method of interception and persuasion. As long as they didn’t resist, they wouldn’t be killed. They would be detained first and dealt with later.

Everyone immediately took their orders and were about to go down and prepare.

Suddenly, an elder rushed into the tent.

“Peak Master Hou, a large group of people are heading this way. Their identities are unknown, but there are no less than a thousand of them.”

Everyone present was surprised.

At this time, how could so many people come here?

It couldn’t be reinforcements for Mysterious Netherworld Sect, could it?

At this time, who would dare to support Mysterious Netherworld Sect?

Wouldn’t that be seeking death?

“Let’s go out and have a look.”

Hou Shuwen said.

Therefore, many high-level officials of Divine Sword Sect left the tent.

Dada dada dada

The rapid sound of hooves rang like thunder.

Many high-level officials of Divine Sword Sect stood on a hillside, and they could see a large group of riders approaching rapidly with imposing momentum.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the large group of unidentified riders had arrived near the camp of Divine Sword Sect.

“Who are you?”

A Divine Sword Sect elder stepped forward and asked.

“We are the He Family from Yuan Province. We are here to wipe out the rebellious Mysterious Netherworld Sect under the order of the Grand Empress Dowager.”

Among the group of riders, an elderly man with a black beard and a blue robe rode forward, cupping his hands and saying in a clear voice.

“What do you think?”

On the hillside, Hou Shuwen, the Unity Peak Master, frowned upon hearing this and asked in a deep voice.

“What He Family? They’re obviously here to seize territory.”

Immortal Woman Wan, the Purple Lightning Peak Master, said coldly.

“Didn’t they say that we, Divine Sword Sect, would wipe out Mysterious Netherworld Sect? Why did the He Family suddenly appear? What’s their background? How dare they reach out so far?”

Xie Tiancheng, the Martial Melody Peak Master, said with a cold face.

The demise of Mysterious Netherworld Sect was only a matter of time. Divine Sword Sect was sure to win.

Now the He Family had appeared. They were obviously here to steal credit and territory.

“This is also normal. I’m afraid someone up there doesn’t want our Divine Sword Sect to monopolize such a large territory.”

Hou Shuwen sighed and said.

Back then, within the Taixing Circuit, besides Prince Luo’s Residence, there were four major martial arts sects: Divine Sword Sect, Hundred Flowers Palace, Purple Cloud Sect, and Mysterious Netherworld Sect. This was to prevent one side from becoming too powerful.

Now Mysterious Netherworld Sect and Purple Cloud Sect were doomed, and Prince Luo’s Residence no longer existed. After Hundred Flowers Palace was rebuilt, it would probably decline significantly. Then there might be a situation where Divine Sword Sect became the sole dominant force.

“Are we just going to let an outsider family seize our territory?”

Xie Tiancheng, the Martial Melody Peak Master, was very unhappy.

“That depends on whether this He Family has the strength.”

Hou Shuwen, the Unity Peak Master, said in a deep voice.

Without enough strength, daring to snatch the vested interests of Divine Sword Sect was simply seeking death.

Therefore, a group of people went up to meet the people from the He Family.

撞钟百年,我成了宗门老祖
Score 8
Status: Ongoing Author: Released: 2024 Native Language: Chinese
Reborn into a world where martial arts are supreme, Li Qian became an Odd-Job Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect and was assigned to be a Bell Ringer. While ringing the bell, the Sacrificial Instrument System unexpectedly awakened, and the Time Bell he rang became his Natal Sacrificial Instrument, connected to his very life. As long as he rang the bell, he could enhance the Time Bell Sacrificial Instrument. Moreover, the Sacrificial Instrument has one major characteristic. As long as the Time Bell is not destroyed, the Host will not die. From then on, a path of immortal martial arts unfolded before Li Qian. Many years later, the Divine Sword Sect faced a crisis of annihilation, and countless Divine Sword Sect disciples knelt before the Time Bell Pavilion. "We implore the Ancestor to act." *** In a world dominated by martial prowess, the Divine Sword Sect stands as a beacon of power and prestige. Within its vast hierarchy, Odd-Job Disciples occupy the lowest rung, their lives dedicated to menial tasks and their dreams of martial cultivation often fading into obscurity. Li Qian, a transmigrator from a world without martial arts, finds himself among these lowly disciples, his initial aspirations dampened by his assigned role as a mere bell ringer. Yet, fate has a different plan for Li Qian. The seemingly ordinary Time Bell, entrusted to his care, awakens a dormant power within him—the Sacrificial Instrument System. Bound to the Time Bell, Li Qian discovers a path to cultivation unlike any other, one that grants him unique abilities and the potential for eternal life. As he diligently performs his duties, the Time Bell undergoes a gradual transformation, its power growing alongside Li Qian's own martial arts cultivation. However, the tranquility of Li Qian's life is shattered when he becomes entangled in a web of secrets and conspiracies. The mysterious death of his predecessor, Old Song, and the existence of a treasure map left behind by an Innate Martial Artist thrust Li Qian into a dangerous game of power and intrigue. Hunted by those who covet the treasure and forced to confront the darker side of the Divine Sword Sect, Li Qian must rely on his wits, his growing strength, and the enigmatic abilities of the Time Bell to survive. Guided by his master, Zhou Buping, a recluse with a hidden agenda, Li Qian navigates the treacherous waters of sect politics, forming alliances with fellow disciples like the hardworking Chen Yong and encountering enigmatic figures like the seductive Song Yingying. As he delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding him, Li Qian uncovers a world far more complex and dangerous than he ever imagined, a world where the pursuit of martial perfection is intertwined with ambition, betrayal, and the ultimate quest for immortality. This is a story of cultivation, adventure, and self-discovery, where a seemingly ordinary individual, armed with an extraordinary artifact and an unyielding spirit, rises above his humble beginnings to challenge the established order and forge his own destiny in a world where only the strong survive.
