Chapter 129: Treasure Bone Genius
Sword Intent has finally reached the Celestial Image Level.
Moreover, his Great River Sword Qi has also entered the second level.
A smile appeared on Li Qian’s face.
It was really not easy!
Suddenly, Li Qian’s figure moved, soaring into the air and flying towards Divine Sword Sect.
He only landed when he was near Divine Sword Sect, and then slowly returned to Time Bell Pavilion.
“Senior Brother Li, Little Black seemed a bit unusual when it came back. I don’t know what’s wrong?”
Liu Ming hurriedly greeted him and said.
“Oh?”
Li Qian hurriedly went to the back of the bell tower and saw Little Black lying on a tree trunk, looking a bit listless.
“Has it been like this since it came back?”
Li Qian asked curiously.
“Yes, Little Black flew back not long after you left. It kept calling in the air for a long time before landing, and then it became like this.”
Liu Ming nodded and said.
Li Qian used his spiritual perception to check Little Black’s internal condition, but he didn’t find anything abnormal.
In the next few days, Little Black’s condition still did not improve.
It even stopped eating and drinking.
Its feathers also began to fall off.
In just a few days, it had become an ugly bald eagle.
As time passed, Li Qian finally discovered some abnormalities in Little Black’s body. Its Qi and blood became extremely active, and they gradually gathered towards a certain location in its body.
At this time, Little Black’s mental state seemed to improve, and it began to eat.
After a while, Little Black’s appetite began to increase greatly.
Moreover, its body size actually started to grow again.
The newly grown feathers also changed color, looking like a deep dark red.
Seeing this change in Little Black, Li Qian couldn’t help but have some guesses. Could this be a mutation?
Otherwise, there was no way to explain it.
But why did Little Black mutate?
Did it eat something?
During this period, in addition to feeding Little Black Nourishing Pills, Li Qian also fed it a lot of Azure Dragon Spirit Fish meat.
Therefore, Little Black’s changes were noticeable every day.
He was a little expectant. What would Little Black eventually become?
At this time, Master Zhou Buping also returned from Divine Sword Hall and brought Li Qian some shocking news.
More than half a month ago, a world-shaking battle took place in Jade Capital. In the end, Jade Capital was captured by the rebels, and the Grand Empress Dowager perished in the battle.
The rebels also suffered heavy losses.
In the end, the rebels reached an agreement with the imperial family. The Martial Prince would succeed to the throne as the Martial Emperor. The princes who participated in the rebellion would not be held accountable for their treason, and they would be allowed to have their own fiefdoms, military power, financial power, and a series of other rights.
“The Grand Empress Dowager actually perished?”
Li Qian was greatly surprised.
Moreover, from the battle described by Master, the terrifying scene seemed to have reached the level of Celestial Image attacks.
“It seems that the Great Chang is not only the Old Martial Emperor who is a Celestial Image Level Celestial Being. The Grand Empress Dowager, and even among the rebels, there seem to be Celestial Image Level Celestial Beings.”
Li Qian muttered to himself.
He couldn’t help but think of the old man riding a donkey backwards he met in Kunwu Circuit. He was at least a Celestial Image Level Celestial Being, or even stronger.
Therefore, he believed that this world was not so simple. How could the Great Chang not have Celestial Image Level Celestial Beings?
In this battle in Jade Capital, didn’t the Celestial Image Level Celestial Beings all come out?
Perhaps there were even Martial Saint level experts fighting behind the scenes.
He had just become a Celestial Image Level Celestial Being and was definitely not a match for those veteran Celestial Image Level Celestial Beings, let alone the possible Martial Saints.
Therefore, he felt that his decision not to go to Jade Capital to watch the excitement was a very wise choice.
Next, he would continue to cultivate diligently by ringing the bell.
Perhaps only a Martial Saint could give him some self-preservation ability.
He now had a guess.
The time when his Sword Intent broke through to the Celestial Image Level was exactly when the great battle in Jade Capital broke out.
Little Black’s mutation also occurred at this time.
Combined with the strange cracks that he saw spreading across the sky that day, it was as if the sky had cracked open.
He also asked Master if he had seen the cracks in the sky.
Master said he didn’t see it, but many people in Divine Sword Sect did.
Therefore, he suspected that the cracks in the sky, his Sword Intent breakthrough, and Little Black’s mutation might all be related to the great battle in Jade Capital.
But Li Qian didn’t know what the connection was.
Anyway, the news that Divine Sword Sect received was not very detailed. Under such a great battle, the spies of Divine Sword Sect in Jade Capital probably wouldn’t be able to see the truth.
In any case, the reconciliation between the rebels and the imperial family meant that the rebellion had come to an end.
However, he also knew that this meant that the imperial family had completely lost control of the Great Chang.
Another greater chaos might appear in the near future.
Time flew by, and more than a year passed in a blink of an eye.
With the end of the war, Divine Sword Sect also entered a period of rapid recovery.
Moreover, the Martial Arts Legion of Divine Sword Sect was not disbanded.
It was still maintained.
However, the number of people remained at around five thousand.
This was the minimum limit of a Martial Arts Legion.
Of course, maintaining such a large Martial Arts Legion still put a lot of pressure on the resources of Divine Sword Sect.
This was just a precaution.
In the current world, the imperial family had lost control of the world, and the local forces had grown stronger. Subsequent wars of annexation would inevitably occur.
If Divine Sword Sect wanted to protect itself in such a chaotic world, it had to maintain sufficient strength.
Divine Sword Hall.
Many elders with real authority and peak masters gathered together to discuss matters.
“In the past year, there has been a significant increase in mutation phenomena in various places. What is going on?”
An elder with real authority said.
“The reason is unknown for the time being. However, the imperial family informed our Divine Sword Sect more than a year ago to pay more attention to the mutation situation. They probably knew that this situation would occur.”
A peak master sighed and said, “Now it seems that this trend cannot be stopped. It is appearing more and more frequently.”
“There is one more thing. Moon Worship Cult has shown signs of activity in various places. Could these mutation phenomena be related to Moon Worship Cult?”
“It shouldn’t be. If Moon Worship Cult had this ability, it wouldn’t be a rat crossing the street.”
“We still can’t underestimate Moon Worship Cult. In the previous rebellion, Moon Worship Cult successively dispatched the Half-Demon Legion. Their strength is definitely far greater than we imagined. Therefore, we must increase our efforts to eliminate Moon Worship Cult. Once it spreads in our Divine Sword Sect’s territory, it will be very troublesome.”
◈◈◈
Just as everyone was discussing, suddenly a person entered the hall excitedly.
“Sect Master, great news!”
This person was Elder Xiang, the new hall master of the Assessment Hall.
He came from a commoner background and was one of the elders who advocated expanding the proportion of commoner disciples.
“Oh, Elder Xiang, what good news?”
Sect Master Feng Shaoyu asked curiously.
“Sect Master, we have discovered a peerless martial arts genius seed in Changping County, Sword Province.”
Elder Xiang said excitedly.
“Peerless martial arts genius?”
Sect Master Feng Shaoyu was surprised.
“Elder Xiang, what kind of martial arts genius is worthy of you describing as peerless?”
“Yeah, could it be a Jade Bone, which is above Gold Bone?”
“Gold Bone can only be considered an ordinary genius. In our Divine Sword Sect, we can have a dozen or so every year during recruitment. Didn’t the last recruitment produce seventy-eight Gold Bone geniuses at once? Since Elder Xiang said so, it must be a Jade Bone.”
“If it’s really a Jade Bone, then it’s indeed rare. There have been only a handful of Jade Bone geniuses over the years.”
The elders present also said with a smile.
Even if it was a Jade Bone, it shouldn’t be such a big deal, right?
They all thought Elder Xiang was overreacting.
“No, no, no… it’s not a Jade Bone genius, but a Treasure Bone genius.”
Elder Xiang shook his head repeatedly.
“What?”
“Treasure Bone genius? Elder Xiang, are you serious?”
“How is this possible? A Treasure Bone genius is called a martial arts prodigy. Our Divine Sword Sect has never had a Treasure Bone genius in a thousand years.”
“Let alone our Divine Sword Sect, how many Treasure Bone geniuses have appeared in the entire Great Chang? They are few and far between, and they are all rumors. As for whether they are true or not, it is unknown.”
“Elder Xiang, you didn’t see wrong, did you?”
The elders present were all in an uproar, and they didn’t believe it at all.
“Sect Master, I didn’t believe it at first either, so I personally examined the bones of this Treasure Bone genius. The Root Bone is like colored glaze, with treasure light inside. It is definitely the legendary Treasure Bone genius.”
Elder Xiang said confidently, “Moreover, I have brought this Treasure Bone genius back to the sect. She is right outside the hall now.”
“Elder Xiang, what are you waiting for? Quickly bring her in.”
Sect Master Feng Shaoyu hurriedly said.
“Okay.”
Elder Xiang hurriedly went out and brought in a little girl about ten years old.
Because the last recruitment had almost all the eligible youths between the ages of ten and seventeen examined for their Root Bones, the main group of people recruited this time were almost all around ten years old.
However, a small number of people among the preliminary candidates who failed the selection last time could get a second chance to participate in the Inner Sect Assessment.
After all, the last recruitment was to select the best from the best.
There would definitely be some people with good aptitude who failed the selection due to the fierce competition.
Therefore, Divine Sword Sect would give them a second chance.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Powerful spiritual perceptions fell on the little girl one after another.
Hiss.
Soon, there were gasps of astonishment from the audience.
“Oh my god, is it really a Treasure Bone genius?”
At this moment, everyone’s eyes became burning hot.
“This disciple, I’ll take her.”
A peak master suddenly shouted and ran to the little girl, grabbing her.
“Why should you take her?”
Another peak master shouted.
“Don’t fight me for her.”
The other elders with real authority and peak masters all surrounded them, almost ready to fight.
This was the legendary Treasure Bone genius!
It was said that it was as easy as turning one’s hand for this kind of genius to cultivate to the Celestial Being Realm.
Waa.
The little girl was so scared that she cried.
“Alright, you are all so old, can you still fight over a child? Don’t scare her, let her choose for herself.”
Seeing this, Sect Master Feng Shaoyu hurriedly said.
Then he walked up to the little girl and said with the kindest expression, “Little girl, I am the Sect Master of Divine Sword Sect. They all have to listen to me. If you take me as your master, you will be the Sect Master’s direct disciple in the future.”
The other elders with real authority and peak masters were speechless. They didn’t expect the Sect Master to be such a person.
So they also spoke up one after another, hoping that the little girl would take them as her master.
But the little girl was already trembling with fear from these excited old guys, at a loss what to do.
“Hmph, a Treasure Bone genius, if she takes you as her master, she will definitely be ruined by you.”
Suddenly, a cold snort sounded.
A bald, white-haired old man floated into the hall.
It was Celestial Being Xiao Wendao.
Seeing Xiao Wendao enter, the elders with real authority and peak masters present felt that something bad was going to happen.
Could it be that Grand Martial Uncle wanted to take a disciple?
Then they wouldn’t have a chance.
The most important thing was, if Grand Martial Uncle took a disciple, how would they address this little girl in the future?
At this moment, their hearts were a little flustered.
“Little girl, I am the strongest Celestial Being of Divine Sword Sect. Take me as your master, and I can take you flying like a bird.”
After Xiao Wendao reprimanded everyone, he said to the little girl kindly.
“Old Grandpa, can you really fly?”
The little girl was immediately attracted.
“Of course.”
Xiao Wendao nodded with a smile.
Then he took the little girl’s hand and flew out of Divine Sword Hall.
“Wow, I can really fly, I’m flying.”
The little girl let out a happy laugh.
All the elders and peak masters in the hall silently watched all this, secretly hating that they were not Celestial Beings.
