Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Countdown

“It seems that the auxiliary effect of the Immaculate Holy Body on cultivation is even higher than I imagined.”

Li Qian sighed with emotion.

Before improving the Immaculate Holy Body, his cultivation speed had been accelerating again and again.

After the Immaculate Holy Body reached perfection, he thought that the amplification effect on cultivation had reached its limit.

But unexpectedly, as the rudimentary form of the Blood and Qi Sanctuary derived from the Immaculate Holy Body gradually became stronger, it could actually have such a great effect during a breakthrough in cultivation.

This was equivalent to a one-time burst of the cumulative increase in daily life, allowing Li Qian to gain a 22-point cultivation increase right after his breakthrough.

It could only be said to be very powerful.

Phew!

Li Qian let out a long breath, feeling the even more majestic True Qi in his body, a smile appeared on his face.

Now that he was in the late stage of the True Elixir Realm, the next breakthrough… would be the Celestial Being Realm.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of anticipation.

The breakthrough from the late stage of the True Elixir Realm to the Celestial Being Realm was a leap in strength beyond imagination.

Of course, it was also possible that the increase in strength would not be as great as imagined. After all, he had already comprehended the True Image Level Sword Intent. Essentially, the difference between him and a Celestial Being was only in cultivation.

By the time he returned to Time Bell Pavilion, it was almost dawn.

As soon as the Mao Hour arrived, he struck the Time Bell. As the clear and melodious bell sound reverberated through the mountains and valleys, it signified the start of a new day.

Time flew by, and more than a year had passed.

Many major events had happened during this year.

However, none of this seemed to have anything to do with Li Qian.

He stayed at Time Bell Pavilion, cultivating through bell ringing, as if he was isolated from the world.

Now, Divine Sword Sect’s recovery had gradually entered the right track. In the past two years, they had recruited one or two batches of new Inner Sect Disciples, and the number had more than doubled.

Even the number of Odd-Job Disciples recruited had increased a lot.

In the previous war, not to mention the heavy losses of Inner Sect Disciples, the Odd-Job Disciples also suffered heavy losses.

After all, many Odd-Job Disciples had enlisted in the Martial Arts Legion that was formed before.

In the great war, the Odd-Job Disciples suffered the most casualties.

But as long as they survived and performed well, they all eventually obtained the status of Inner Sect Disciples. Maybe it was difficult to achieve anything in martial arts, but with the status of Inner Sect Disciples, in a sense, they had changed their destiny and were truly connected to Divine Sword Sect.

This wave of war, although many people died, also ushered in a leap in the lives of many people.

Moreover, many Inner Sect Disciples had experienced various life-and-death battles, and many of them had made rapid progress in their cultivation. Some Postnatal Ninth Level martial artists broke through their limits, stepped into the Innate Realm, and even comprehended Sword Intent.

There was great terror between life and death, but there were also great opportunities.

Some time ago, Divine Sword Sect held a large-scale merit award ceremony, promoting a group of Elders and Elders with Real Authority. Some retired Elders, because of their outstanding merits, also obtained the title of Elder with Real Authority.

As for those who died in battle, their descendants… could also receive preferential treatment.

Time Bell Pavilion.

Li Qian was setting up a formation in his palm.

After more than a year of practice, he was now able to easily set up seven foundation formations.

However, the difficulty of combining the seven foundation formations in pairs was not as simple as one plus one, but rather an exponential increase.

Not to mention the combination of three or more formations later on. The most advanced application was to combine the seven foundation formations to form the core formation of the Lion Camel Ridge Formation Manual.

Suddenly, someone walked up from the mountain.

“Uncle.”

It was a 15 or 16-year-old girl, dressed in a white martial arts uniform, carrying a sword on her back, looking valiant and heroic.

However, her delicate and pretty face was a little cold, without much expression.

“Why are you here?”

Li Qian dispersed the formation in his palm and asked in surprise when he saw the girl approaching.

It was Li Mo.

It had been four years since she became an Inner Sect Disciple of Divine Sword Sect.

Because her Root Bone talent was not bad, and her foundation was good, she took an Elder from Purple Lightning Peak as her master.

The reason why Li Qian did not accept her into the Heartless Lineage was mainly because her comprehension was a little poor, and she had not practiced the Sword-Piercing Fist to perfection.

“Uncle, I’m going to Xuan Province with Master.”

Li Mo said.

“Well, be careful when you get to Xuan Province, and work hard on your cultivation.”

Li Qian nodded and said.

Because Divine Sword Sect occupied the entire Xuan Province and it was too far away, Divine Sword Sect established the Divine Sword Sect Xuan Province Branch at the original Mysterious Netherworld Sect mountain gate to strengthen its control over Xuan Province.

There was also a complete set of high-level system in the Divine Sword Sect Xuan Province Branch.

In order to prevent the Divine Sword Sect Xuan Province Branch from being stationed outside for a long time and getting out of control, the high-level officials of the Xuan Province Branch were all transferred from other branches. The time period was generally two to three years.

Li Mo’s master was going to be transferred to the Xuan Province Branch, and her disciples would naturally follow.

“Okay.”

Li Mo nodded.

She seemed unusually quiet.

Her expression was also indifferent.

But Li Qian knew that it was just that Li Mo didn’t know how to express her inner emotions. Although she was much better now, compared with normal people, there was still a gap.

“When you go to other places, you must get along well with your senior brothers and sisters, and you must smile more.”

Li Qian continued.

“Oh.”

Li Mo still had the same indifferent expression.

“Come on, smile.”

Li Qian said.

Li Mo tried hard to smile, but she pulled out a stiff and strange expression.

“Forget it, don’t smile.”

Li Qian waved his hand.

It was too difficult to make her smile.

◈◈◈

“Uncle, I’m leaving then.”

Li Mo said.

“Well, go ahead.”

Li Qian nodded.

At this time, Pang Bai came up from the mountain. Seeing Li Mo who was about to pass by, he said, “Li Mo, you haven’t called me uncle yet.”

“Uncle.”

Li Mo tried hard to pull out a smile, but her expression was uglier than crying.

Pang Bai shuddered. This expression was too ugly.

After Li Mo left, Pang Bai touched his bald head and said with a smile, “Junior Brother Li, are you sure this is your niece?”

“Senior Brother Pang, what’s wrong?”

Li Qian asked.

“Wait, Junior Brother Li, what did you just call me? Senior Brother Pang?”

Pang Bai said with a serious face.

“Okay, okay, I’ll call you Elder Pang, are you happy now?”

Li Qian was speechless. He really couldn’t stand this guy. He had just become an ordinary Elder, and he was so smug.

Because Pang Bai performed outstandingly and had enough merit, although his cultivation and age did not meet the standard, he was still exceptionally promoted to Elder.

From this, it could also be seen how great Divine Sword Sect’s losses were this time.

Of course, after Pang Bai participated in the Martial Arts Legion and experienced life and death, both his cultivation and Sword Intent had greatly improved. It was only a matter of time before he became a Grandmaster.

“Haha, I think Junior Brother Li, you are just envious, jealous, and hateful.”

Pang Bai was extremely proud.

“Just say it, what are you here for?”

Li Qian asked.

“I’m going to be transferred to the Xuan Province Branch, for at least two years. So, you have to give me a few jars of good wine, and I promise to support your niece when I get there.”

Pang Bai said.

“I knew you were here for my wine.”

Li Qian shrugged and said.

But he still asked Liu Ming to bring out a few jars of Green Leaf Spirit Wine.

These wines were all brewed by Liu Ming under his instructions.

As long as there was a winemaking method and winemaking tools, after Li Qian personally guided him, Liu Ming was now a very skilled and experienced winemaker.

Anyway, Li Qian felt that Liu Ming’s winemaking skills were much better than his own.

Now, in a large cellar dug in the back mountain, a large batch of wine was stored, including the light-flavored Green Leaf Spirit Wine and the soy sauce-flavored Chentai Spirit Wine.

Carrying a few jars of good wine, Pang Bai left happily.

Moreover, Li Qian also asked him to bring some things to the Li Residence when he passed by White Jade City.

It had been more than six years since his father Li Donglin’s 50th birthday banquet.

He hadn’t been back in these six years, at most he sent someone to bring some things back.

But he believed that with his relationship, the Li Family would only get better and better in the future.

Time Bell Pavilion became quiet again.

Li Qian sat on the chair, calmed down, and visualized the vast sword river in his mind.

The bell sound in his mind was continuous, which could greatly reduce the difficulty of his visualization and make the effect better.

After a long time, Li Qian opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and a tired look appeared on his face.

Comprehending the Great River Sword Qi was quite mentally exhausting.

Therefore, his current cultivation had a regular time arrangement, so that he could maximize the efficiency of his cultivation.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he summoned the system interface to check the latest information.

Host: Li Qian.

Cultivation: Innate True Elixir （Late Stage 77/100）.

Sacrificial Instrument: Time Bell （Law 5831/10000）.

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 92/100）.

Martial Intent: Heartless Sword Intent （True Image 81/100）.

Divine Ability: Blood and Qi Sanctuary （Rudimentary Form 36/100）.

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

Auxiliary Techniques: Lion Camel Ridge Formation Manual （Entry Level 97/100）.

The progress of Heartless Sword Intent had reached 81, one point of progress every thirty days, it would only take less than two years.

The cultivation progress had also reached 77, about one point of progress every ten days, and it would take less than a year to break through to the Celestial Being Realm.

The progress of Great River Sword Qi had reached 92.

Only eight points were left to complete the first layer.

According to the progress of one point every ten days, it would only take about eighty days, a little over two months.

The countdown had begun.

Once the first layer of Great River Sword Qi was completed, he would have a trump card comparable to the Celestial Image Level Sword Intent.

It was foreseeable that his strength would experience explosive growth within two years.

He was confident that he should have the power to protect himself within the Great Chang.

A look of anticipation appeared on Li Qian’s face.
