Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Immaculate Holy Body

After leaving the Divine Sword Hall, Zhou Buping comforted, “Disciple, don’t be discouraged. Not being selected this time doesn’t mean anything. ”

He felt a bit of regret. If that Celestial Being Grand Martial Uncle knew that Li Qian had mastered the Flawless Vajra Method, he would definitely have chosen Li Qian.

But the problem was, he couldn’t say it out loud.

“Master, I’m fine. ”

Li Qian said.

He was actually quite happy.

He had been afraid that the hidden Celestial Being would notice something amiss.

Upon returning to the Time Bell Pavilion.

Li Qian saw Chen Yong there, instructing Liu Ming on the Sword-Piercing Fist.

“Brother Qian. ”

Seeing Li Qian return, Chen Yong quickly greeted him.

Li Qian nodded.

Liu Ming tactfully went to the side to practice his fist techniques.

“Brother Qian, I’ve been assigned a long-term garrison duty, might need to be out for two to three years. ”

Chen Yong said.

“Is it risky?”

Li Qian asked.

He knew that long-term missions generally offered more contribution points and had additional subsidies for monthly cultivation resources.

“Not very risky, it’s just that there might not be much freedom, it’ll be quite boring. ”

Chen Yong said.

“Work hard. ”

Li Qian patted Chen Yong’s shoulder.

“Brother Qian, if it weren’t for your guidance, I wouldn’t be where I am today. If there’s anything I can do for you in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask. ”

Chen Yong said.

“That’s because you’ve worked hard enough. ”

Li Qian waved his hand dismissively.

If he hadn’t seen Chen Yong working so hard, why would he have helped him?

A few days later.

Inside the Divine Sword Hall.

The Divine Sword Sect Master, the Four Sword Envoys, the Seven Peak Masters, and many elders with real authority were all gathered together.

“This old man’s trip to the Jade Capital to celebrate the Grand Empress Dowager’s birthday will be very risky. So you must be prepared to deal with any emergencies. If the situation becomes too dire, you must consolidate our forces. ”

The bald, white-haired elder said in a deep voice.

“Grand Martial Uncle, is the situation that serious?”

Feng Shaoyu, the Divine Sword Sect Master, said.

“Yes, the one in the palace… probably won’t last for many years. The previous Moon Worship Cult rebellion was just a small test. ”

The bald, white-haired elder nodded. “Sigh, it’s not easy to break through to the Martial Saint realm. The Grand Empress Dowager still lacks a bit of deterrent power, otherwise, how could she tolerate these villains disrupting Great Chang?”

Unfortunately, his own strength was too ordinary, and he was also old, unable to influence the overall situation.

Once Great Chang falls into chaos, everything will be precarious.

What will become of the Divine Sword Sect?

If only the Divine Sword Sect could produce another Celestial Being.

The burden on his shoulders would be much lighter.

Thus, more than half a month passed.

Li Qian’s bell-ringing cultivation life finally returned to normal.

Moreover, he no longer sensed that hidden gaze from the shadows.

He guessed that the Celestial Being had probably left the Divine Sword Sect.

After all, he had to go to celebrate some Grand Empress Dowager’s birthday.

Even a Celestial Being had to go to celebrate her birthday, it seemed that this Grand Empress Dowager was no ordinary person.

No wonder Master regretted that he wasn’t selected.

Presumably, the Grand Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet would be a grand occasion, with countless experts and geniuses gathered.

On the bell tower.

Dong, dong, dong.

The clear sound of the bell rang out.

Li Qian released the striker and began to cultivate.

After a long time, he finished his cultivation and exhaled, feeling refreshed all over. He sensed the True Essence in his body becoming more abundant, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Outside the bell tower, Liu Ming had been watching.

When Li Qian stopped, he quickly went to the side and began to practice the Sword-Piercing Fist.

◈◈◈

Some time ago, Senior Brother Chen Yong had given him some pointers, correcting some mistakes, and he had made some progress.

But it was far from enough.

He felt a bit troubled. He wished Senior Brother Li could guide him, but he didn’t dare to ask directly.

Late at night.

Li Qian retrieved a wooden box from the cellar and went up to the bell tower.

Sitting cross-legged beside the Time Bell, Li Qian opened the wooden box and took out an oil-paper package. Unwrapping it, he revealed a small, black stone.

This was the Demon Stone Master had mentioned.

He had already stepped into the True Essence Realm, and his cultivation had been completely consolidated.

Therefore, he planned to try whether he could use the Demon Stone to enhance his Immaculate Sword Body.

Once the Immaculate Sword Body improved, it would definitely further accelerate his cultivation speed.

Since stepping into the early stage of the True Essence Realm, he could now only increase his cultivation progress by one point every five days.

It would take more than a year to reach the middle stage.

Picking up the black Demon Stone, Li Qian took a deep breath and immediately circulated the Immaculate Sword Body, attempting to absorb the faint energy emitted by the Demon Stone.

As a trace of faint energy entered his body, it was like adding fuel to fire.

The rich Qi and Blood of the Immaculate Sword Body suddenly surged.

“This is?”

Li Qian didn’t expect such a strong reaction from absorbing the Demon Stone’s energy.

No wonder Master said that for ordinary martial artists, this Demon Stone was a poison that could cause mutations.

Immediately, he steadied his emotions and circulated the Immaculate Sword Body, maintaining the stability of his Qi and Blood.

After the trace of demonic energy invaded, it initially wreaked havoc, but as the Immaculate Sword Body steadily operated, it gradually refined the demonic energy.

The Qi and Blood that had fused with the demonic energy seemed to undergo a peculiar change.

It seemed to become denser and heavier, faintly emitting a light golden hue.

Moreover, his body showed no signs of mutation.

“As expected, my Immaculate Sword Body can suppress the Demon Stone’s energy and refine it for my own use. ”

Li Qian was ecstatic.

This meant that the Immaculate Sword Body could be further enhanced.

Of course, he knew that he couldn’t rush this matter.

Just a trace of faint demonic energy caused such a strong reaction, he didn’t dare to absorb too much at once.

After all, different amounts of demonic energy had vastly different destructive effects.

After one cycle, the trace of faint demonic energy was completely refined, so Li Qian absorbed another trace.

He repeated this process.

Until he felt a faint swelling pain in his body, and his Qi and Blood seemed to become agitated, making it difficult to refine the demonic energy.

He knew he had reached his limit.

Therefore, he stopped absorbing the demonic energy, rewrapped the Demon Stone in oil paper, and placed it back in the wooden box.

Phew!

Li Qian exhaled. After absorbing the demonic energy, his body still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He seemed to have become a bit more irritable.

He had to admit that this demonic energy could still bring negative effects.

If he absorbed it for a long time, it might lead to some hidden dangers.

“I can’t absorb it every day, I have to eliminate the negative effects first. ”

Li Qian thought to himself.

With that in mind, he focused his thoughts and controlled the Time Bell shadow in his mind.

As the clear sound of the bell rang in his mind, an indescribable coolness and comfort spread throughout his body, seemingly clearing away some of the irritability.

When his body felt more comfortable, Li Qian summoned the system interface.

When he saw the latest information, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
