Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 266 - 194: Demon Lord (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Wuxin Peak.

Beneath the bell tower, there lies an underground palace.

It has been excavated by Li Qian over the years.

The interior space has become quite extensive.

After his meticulous arrangement, the ventilation, lighting, and decorations are all excellent.

Moreover, he has set up a small array here.

He has never allowed his disciples or grand-disciples to enter this place.

This is his private space.

Li Qian looked at the shelves lined with various storage devices,

all of which he had acquired over the years, numbering over a hundred.

Each storage device was carefully organized to contain different types of items.

The storage device he carried with him held daily necessities and valuables, while those that were not immediately needed were stored in these devices.

He casually picked up a storage device, which came from a high-ranking demon clan great saint, filled with a variety of demon weapons; due to the demons’ body sizes, these weapons were huge and not quite suitable for human use.

After admiring his collection, the sound of the Chen Bell resonated outside, and Li Qian then sat down on a cushion on a platform.

He took out a demon core and began to absorb the demonic essence within, integrating it into the Qi Blood Holy Realm.

After practicing the Qi Blood Holy Realm, he devoted himself to cultivating the Divine Firmament Sword Skill.

Suddenly, Li Qian opened his eyes, stood up, and stepped out of the underground palace, arriving outside the bell tower.

A familiar face he hadn’t seen in a long while had arrived.

"Senior Brother Pang, it’s been a long time."

Li Qian said with a smile.

"Junior Brother Li, your Wuxin Peak really has become influential."

Pang Bai said with emotion.

Although there were now numerous heavenly persons in the Divine Sword Sect, Wuxin Peak was truly in a class of its own.

Not only was Li Qian a Heavenly Person, but all five of his direct disciples were as well...

Which other peak or branch could claim such an achievement?

Since then, the Divine Sword Sect no longer consisted of the original seven main peaks but had become the Eight Main Peaks.

"Nothing special. What brings Senior Brother Pang to my place today?"

Li Qian asked curiously.

It had been a long time since he sensed Pang Bai’s presence within the Divine Sword Sect.

With his current cultivation realm, a single sweep of his spiritual sense revealed all the secrets within the sect, all of which were within his perception, and those who were sensed wouldn’t even notice.

"Out of the blue, I remembered it’s been a long time since I visited your Chen Bell Platform, so I came to have a look. There’s no hope for me to become a Heavenly Person, so I have to focus on developing my family."

Pang Bai said with a smile.

Several of his peers had achieved the status of Heavenly Person, and at his age, there was no hope for him.

"Junior Brother Li, I have a great-grandson with decent talent who has just passed the new recruit assessment. Do you still accept disciples here?"

Pang Bai asked all of a sudden.

"What’s his talent?"

Li Qian inquired.

"Definitely at the top-tier Golden Bone Level... If his talent were mediocre, I definitely wouldn’t bother Wuxin Peak with this, since everyone knows that Wuxin Peak is where the prodigies gather."

Pang Bai said with a laugh.

He pinned his hopes for becoming a Heavenly Person on his great-grandson.

If he joined another peak, even Martial Peak, with top-tier Golden Bone Level talent, he would definitely receive focused cultivation, but he felt it would be better to enter Wuxin Peak.

That’s why he had boldly come to the Chen Bell Platform.

"Senior Brother Pang, if he really possesses such talent, then send him over. However... Let me speak frankly, at Wuxin Peak, how one cultivates must follow the rules of Wuxin Peak. If he can’t handle the hardships, then it’s best not to send him here, to avoid any embarrassment later."

Li Qian said seriously.

"Junior Brother Li, don’t worry about that. We Pang Family members are no strangers to hardship. If he can’t endure it, I will come and... make sure to discipline him myself."

Pang Bai said right away.

Li Qian merely smiled and said nothing more.

A day later, Pang Bai brought a boy around eleven or twelve years old up to the peak.

The boy had a tiger-like robustness.

Bald-headed just like the rest of them.

One could tell at a glance that he was a descendant of Pang Bai.

Li Qian checked with the Sensing Spirit Technique and saw that he had mid-tier Bright Light Level talent, which was indeed quite good.

He assigned this boy, Pang Hu, a master: Xu Long.

Time flies.

Another three years passed.

During these three years, Li Qian had been staying at the Chen Bell Platform without going out to slay demons.

He also hadn’t had any contact with the Dao Sect, as if he had vanished into thin air.

That day, just after Li Qian finished practicing the Divine Sword Skill, he summoned the system interface to check the latest updates.

Martial Saint Realm (Mid-stage 42/100).

Primordial Spirit View (37/100) [Sudden Enlightenment].

Chen Bell (Spirit 28819/100000).

Great River Sword Qi Third Layer (Perfect).

Divine Firmament First Sword (Perfect) [Breaking the Sky].

Divine Firmament Second Sword (Perfect) [Armor Breaking].

Divine Firmament Third Sword (Expertise 67/100).

Heartless Sword Intent (Myriad Phenomena Sixth Level 28/100).

Qi Blood Holy Realm (Second Stage 69/100).

Qianyuan Array Manual (Eighth Rank 91/100).

Fox Puppet (.....)

....

His Divine Firmament Third Sword had reached Expertise level, with a progress of 67.

He could increase by one point every twenty days or so.

This speed was neither fast nor slow, acceptable.

Furthermore, his Great River Sword Qi Third Layer was now perfected.

As for its power, it was adequate.

It matched his current cultivation level.

However, it was insufficient for fighting above his level.

The practice of the Eight Prisons Yama Refining God Technique steadily increased his Primordial Spirit View to thirty-seven points of progress.

This had significantly accelerated his cultivation speed in all aspects.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he stood up to leave the underground palace, stepping outside the bell tower, only to see several disciples and grand-disciples gathered around, surrounding a woman in plain clothes in her twenties and a girl of about six or seven years old.
