Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Mysterious Netherworld Sect

After seeing off the people from Prince Luo’s Residence, Elder Xiang Xin immediately went to the Divine Sword Hall to report the matter to the Sect Master.

Divine Sword Sect Master Feng Shaoyu sent people to inform the Seven Peak Masters and many Elders with Real Authority to discuss how to handle the invitation sent by Prince Luo’s Residence.

“Sect Master, our Divine Sword Sect cannot attend the Demon Extermination Assembly held by Prince Luo’s Residence.”

“That’s right, our Divine Sword Sect has always had little contact with Prince Luo’s Residence. Now is a sensitive time, it’s easy to give people a reason to gossip.”

“I think it’s not good to not attend either, why don’t we just send an elder over there as a gesture?”

“Casually sending an elder over there will only make Prince Luo’s Residence dissatisfied, either don’t send anyone, or the Sect Master should attend in person.”

“This time, Prince Luo’s Residence deliberately sent an invitation, their intention is profound. If we don’t attend, I’m afraid it will make Prince Luo’s Residence target our Divine Sword Sect.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? Our Divine Sword Sect has no subordinate relationship with Prince Luo’s Residence.”

The many elders and peak masters expressed their opinions.

For a while, the debate continued endlessly, and no consensus could be reached.

“It’s a pity that Grand Martial Uncle isn’t here, otherwise, we could ask for his opinion.”

Divine Sword Sect Master Feng Shaoyu sighed inwardly.

Seeing that so many people were in a mess and couldn’t come to a conclusion, he invited the Seven Peak Masters to the side hall.

The Seven Peak Masters also had different opinions.

“Let’s just vote by a show of hands.”

Divine Sword Sect Master Feng Shaoyu proposed the final solution.

This is the method used when there are serious disagreements.

If no decision can be made among the eight people, the vote by a show of hands will be expanded to other Elders with Real Authority.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a year has passed.

The daily life of bell ringing cultivation at the Time Bell Pavilion was leisurely and comfortable.

Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong.

Seven clear bell sounds rang out.

After Li Qian released the striker, he began to cultivate the Immaculate Sword Body.

Liu Ming immediately refilled the empty hourglass and stood aside to watch.

Although he couldn’t understand the martial arts Li Qian was practicing, and even felt more and more uncomfortable and awkward as he watched, he still enjoyed it.

He didn’t go downstairs to make dinner until Li Qian finished practicing.

Li Qian sheathed Sword Eighteen, summoned the system interface, and checked the latest information.

Host: Li Qian.

Cultivation Level: Innate True Essence （ Early Stage 43/100 ）.

Sacrificial Instrument: Time Bell （ Law 2848/10000 ）.

Martial Arts: Sword-Piercing Fist （ Perfection ）, Heartless Sword Manual （ Perfection ）, Immaculate Holy Body （ Entry Level 23/100 ）, Soul-Chasing Sword Technique （ Perfection ）.

Martial Intent: Heartless Sword Intent （ True Image 12/100 ）.

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

After half a year of cultivation, his cultivation progress had reached True Essence Realm Early Stage 43.

A little faster than expected.

It was mainly because the Immaculate Holy Body had improved somewhat, reaching Entry Level 23, which had a slight promoting effect on cultivation level improvement.

It’s just that the improvement of the Immaculate Holy Body was too slow.

He only cultivated once every two days, and the amount of Demon Essence absorbed each time was very small, so this progress was normal.

“Recently, I haven’t felt much negative impact from absorbing Demon Essence. It seems I can increase the frequency to cultivate once a day.”

Li Qian thought to himself.

He was very cautious about using Demon Stones to cultivate the Immaculate Holy Body.

It didn’t matter if it was slow.

The key was safety.

Back in his room, Li Qian stood in front of the two maps again and looked at them.

During this half year, he had been piecing them together in his mind every day, countless times.

After an unknown amount of time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly looked at the map of Taiping County.

“So it’s here.”

Li Qian suddenly pressed his hand on a location on the map.

He originally thought it would take a long time to find it.

But today, he was lucky and happened to match it.

◈◈◈

“This hidden treasure location is so well hidden, I wonder what’s inside?”

Li Qian was very curious.

This hidden treasure location was likely related to the Taiping Cult and Half-Demons, which made him very interested.

After all, he needed Demon Stones to cultivate the Immaculate Holy Body.

The Demon Stone in his hand was definitely not enough.

So he had to find a way to get more Demon Stones.

“However, there’s no rush for now.”

Li Qian didn’t plan to go directly to the hidden treasure location.

It was too risky.

He wasn’t strong enough yet, he couldn’t even fight against a Celestial Being.

Xuan Province, Lanxi County.

This county had many rivers, lakes, and marshes. The famous 900-mile Dream Cloud Marsh of Great Chang was located here.

On a deserted island in the depths of Dream Cloud Marsh, two groups of people were confronting each other.

“This is Dream Cloud Marsh, Lanxi County, the territory of our Divine Sword Sect. You Mysterious Netherworld Sect have crossed the line, haven’t you?”

The speaker was a woman in white, with an ethereal temperament and a cold expression.

This woman was Bai Wuqing from the Spiritual Void Peak of Divine Sword Sect.

The reason they came to Dream Cloud Marsh on a mission this time was because a powerful Exotic Beast Tuolong had appeared in the waters here, frequently attacking fishermen and fishing boats, becoming a major hidden danger in Dream Cloud Marsh.

Therefore, Divine Sword Sect sent several Innate Martial Artists to eliminate the Exotic Beast Tuolong.

They followed the traces of the Exotic Beast Tuolong to this deserted island, but unexpectedly, another force had arrived first and killed the Exotic Beast Tuolong.

Moreover, they found a very precious Spirit Jujube Tree on this deserted island, which was very likely the source of the Exotic Beast Tuolong’s transformation.

“Who said our Mysterious Netherworld Sect crossed the line? At the previous Demon Extermination Assembly held by Prince Luo’s Residence, Prince Luo divided the demon extermination areas, and this Xuan Province, Lanxi County happens to be within our Mysterious Netherworld Sect’s demon extermination area. Don’t you Divine Sword Sect know this?”

A man in black robes folded his arms and chuckled, “In my opinion, it’s you Divine Sword Sect who crossed the line, right?”

“You’re courting death.”

Ji Ming, who was standing beside Bai Wuqing, drew his Divine Sword and suddenly attacked the man in black robes.

The man in black robes hurriedly drew his saber to block.

With a violent collision, he was sent flying backward and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Just as Ji Ming was about to attack again, a man in blue suddenly flashed out and gently patted Ji Ming’s Divine Sword with his hand. A chilling aura spread, and Ji Ming felt as if his whole body was about to freeze.

He snorted coldly, his Divine Sword vibrated, and his sword intent was like a rainbow.

But he still couldn’t resist and couldn’t help but retreat a dozen steps before stabilizing himself. His face was pale and covered with a layer of frost.

The hand holding his Divine Sword was trembling slightly.

Ji Ming wanted to continue attacking, but Bai Wuqing quickly stopped him, “Junior Brother Ji, you’re no match for him.”

Ji Ming’s eyes were cold and sharp, staring fixedly at the man in blue, but he ultimately didn’t attack.

Although he had a Divine Sword, the opponent’s cultivation level was obviously much higher than his, and the difference in martial intent was even more obvious.

Moreover, the gloves worn by the man in blue seemed to be extraordinary, actually able to clash head-on with his Divine Sword.

“Chen Qingyi, it’s not too late for you to retreat now, otherwise… our Divine Sword Sect will consider your actions as a provocation.”

Bai Wuqing said in a deep voice.

She had heard of this Chen Qingyi, the most talented disciple of the younger generation in Mysterious Netherworld Sect. It was said that his cultivation level had reached the late stage of True Qi Realm. Among the peers in Divine Sword Sect, perhaps only Nangong Bei, who had become a True Disciple, could deal with him.

“I should be the one saying that.”

Chen Qingyi said calmly, gently rubbing his gloved hands together, “From now on, everything on this island belongs to my Mysterious Netherworld Sect.”

Bai Wuqing’s heart sank.

Mysterious Netherworld Sect and Divine Sword Sect were equally powerful, and they had always stayed out of each other’s way. Why would they suddenly provoke Divine Sword Sect like this?

This was very abnormal.

However, the dignity of Divine Sword Sect could not be violated.

Even though they were clearly at a disadvantage, as the eldest Senior Sister among the many Inner Sect Disciples present, she absolutely could not show weakness.
