Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 216 - 165: Unrivaled in the Human World (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Chapter 216: Chapter 165: Unrivaled in the Human World (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Great Xia, as a neighboring country of Great Chang, was stronger than Great Chang in both territory and national strength and population.

However, the monster disaster in Great Xia was much more severe than in Great Chang.

During a horrifying demonic sacrifice, even Xia Capital along with a large number of the Imperial Family were sacrificed. If it weren’t for a Heavenly Phenomenon Level real person who came from the outside to preside, the entire Great Xia would have fallen under the control of monsters.

Even so, apart from the core areas of various Dao Prefectures, the common people of the states and counties of Great Xia were living in misery, suffering from the monster disaster.

After entering the Demon Disaster Area, Li Qian could see many cities, still inhabited by large populations.

But Li Qian knew that these towns had long been under the control of the Demon Race, managed by the Demon Sect that pledges allegiance to the Demon Race. These Demon Sects were somewhat similar to the Mu Family from the Ancient Era, or, to say, began to take on the functions of the Mu Family.

He had personally entered the town to understand how the Demon Sects in the Demon Disaster Area operated. They spread the faith of Demon Sect to numb and deceive the masses, making them content with the status quo and not resist the rule of Demon Sect.

In addition, the Demon Sect would select some of the devout believers from the people and send them to the so-called Divine Country to receive the cleansing of the deities.

In reality, these people had only one fate, and that was to become nutrients for the monsters.

The key point was that many ordinary people actually bought into this.

From the surface, the cities in the Demon Disaster Area were very stable under the management of the Demon Sect, whereas the towns outside the Demon Disaster Area were often attacked by monsters, leaving the people in fear and living in terror day and night.

"Only by completely cleaning out the monsters can the Demon Race lose its environment to survive."

Li Qian muttered to himself.

As long as the monsters exist for one day, it would be difficult to eliminate the Demon Sect.

Whoosh!

Li Qian left a city and flew towards the core area of the monster disaster.

In less than half an hour, he had already arrived at Daxia’s capital, that is, Xia Capital.

This was the origin of the monster disaster.

Nobody knew how the Demon Sect managed to complete the demonic sacrifice within the most important capital city of Great Xia, but they did it somehow.

The current Xia Capital had already become a place overrun with monsters, shrouded in fog, with only faint outlines visible.

Terrifying roars of beasts emanated from within, causing palpitations.

Li Qian directly flew into the mist, his powerful Spiritual Sense sweeping, sensing Array Formation Fluctuations resembling those from the Ten Directions Array Solution of Lion Camel Ridge.

He speculated that, in the Ancient Times, the region where Great Chang and Great Xia were located must have been Lion Camel’s territory, hence all the arrays in the Demon Disaster Area were related to Lion Camel Ridge.

Li Qian’s proficiency in arrays had significantly improved compared to the past, and entering the array did not pose too much of an obstacle.

Moreover... the arrays here were much inferior compared to those in Lion Camel Demon City.

Soon, Li Qian locked onto a powerful Demon Saint.

Right at the moment his Spiritual Sense locked on, the Demon Saint reacted and tried to flee, but how could Li Qian give it the chance? Without even using his Qi Blood Holy Realm, he nailed it in place with a single sword thrust.

"Mortal Martial Saint... wait until the barrier of the Human World is broken, and I from Lion Camel Ridge will not let you off," said the Demon Saint as it stared at Li Qian with a venomous voice.

The next moment, its Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought dissipated. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Heh, not let me off? You’d have to be able to find me first," Li Qian chuckled lightly.

If he hid, who could find him?

Next, Li Qian swept away all the monsters and Demon Sect members within Xia Capital.

In the end, he came to an area where quite a few humans lived.

These people were all sent in by the Demon Sect as gifts from the gods, ranging in age from teenagers to over thirty years old, both male and female, belonging to the most vigorous stage of life, and the first choice for monsters.

How to lead these people out became a problem.

The entire Xia Capital was shrouded in fog from the great array.

Since he had eliminated the monsters, he couldn’t just leave these ordinary people to die in the array, could he?

"There’s no time to break the array, just destroy it," Li Qian thought to himself.

Since Lion Camel Demon City was there, these arrays here didn’t hold much value anyway.

With this thought, Li Qian took a deep breath, and a powerful Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent surged out, covering the sky and the earth. In an instant, the sky changed color, and one could vaguely see an enormous net appearing above, as if it were about to descend from the heavens.

"Indeed, too strong forces cannot be used, or it would provoke backlash from the barrier of the Human World," sighed Li Qian.

So, he toned down the intensity of the Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent, as Heaven and Earth Essence Qi gathered, creating a terrifying Sword Qi stretching a thousand feet. With a wave of his hand, the terrible Sword Qi slashed down. Combined with a fearful booming, the rolling fog was completely torn apart.

It was as if the sky was turning over and the earth was splitting, buildings were collapsing.

With him as the origin, his sword created a terrifying chasm that stretched over twenty or thirty miles long and a hundred feet wide, almost as if half of Xia Capital was split in two.

Moreover, the position he attacked was exactly the weak spot of the entire Great Array.

Wuuuu...

With a series of vibrations, the initially accumulating fog began to dissipate.

In less than half an hour, Xia Capital was completely exposed under the sunlight.

After doing all this, Li Qian left Xia Capital directly.

As for the rest... the local Dao Prefecture would take care of it.

He believed that Taiwu Dao Master would notify the Dao Masters of Great Xia right away.

In fact, less than half a day after Li Qian left, people from the local Dao Prefecture arrived in Xia Capital.

They looked at the huge chasm that was split by the Sword Qi in the air and were shocked.

Even the Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial was the same.

"Martial Saint, I did not expect that a Martial Saint would truly emerge in the Human World."

He was somewhat incredulous when he had received the notice.

But now... With such power, a single sword strike split the demon array of Xia Capital, which was enough to prove the point.

...

Time flies, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Qian’s footsteps have traversed the Eight Regions and Seventy-Three Countries of the Human World, destroying no less than one hundred and fifty Demon Saints’ bodies, let alone the countless lesser demons.

Originally, he only intended to clear the surrounding nations of Dachang, at most just the Sheep Horn Domain.

But after witnessing the various tragedies in the Demon Disaster Area, he could no longer suppress his rage and resolutely chose to eradicate all the Demon Race powers in the Human World.

Though he didn’t focus on cultivation for such a long time, Li Qian still made considerable gains.

He obtained seven types of storage devices, filled with numerous valuable items, especially Primordial Stones, estimated to total around three thousand.

Additionally, there were more than a hundred demon stones.

This meant that his future cultivation would no longer be hampered by a lack of resources.

Of course, he was also aware that his actions in wiping out the Demon Race powers in the Human World had definitely offended a great number of Demon Saints and Demon Race powers in the Demon Realm.

These Demon Saints would spew threats before they left.

Places like Lion Camel Ridge, Wangu City, Green Hill Mountain, Floating Island, Fuyao Palace... No need to think, these Demon Race powers were probably all on the same level as Lion Camel Ridge.

Fortunately, he was always cautious, disguising his own aura.

Even if the barrier of the Human World were to collapse, as long as he didn’t intentionally reveal himself, those Demon Saints would probably not recognize him in person.

When Li Qian returned to the Divine Sword Sect, he was accompanied by three children around eleven or twelve years old.

They were rescued by him when he broke through the Demon Disaster Area... He brought them back because all three children had high Root Bone talent, reaching the Treasure Light Level, with one even at the Superior Treasure Light Level.

Moreover, they were all Hidden Bone.

This made them particularly easy to overlook.

Facing such high-level martial arts prodigies, Li Qian naturally wouldn’t let them slip away and brought them back with him.

Moreover, he took extra precautions to prevent his own Martial Saint identity from being exposed, choosing to secretly take these children with him.

Therefore, the three children do not know that it was he who broke through the Demon Disaster Area and saved them.

For his own safety, he had to be more careful.

After all, he had offended so many powers and Demon Saints of the Demon Realm.

Once the Human World’s barrier collapsed, his own situation would become very dangerous.

As for the Dao Sect elder position... he wouldn’t want that. He didn’t think that the identity of a Dao Sect elder could protect him.

The best method was to conceal his identity, ensuring no one knew he was the Mortal Martial Saint.

When Li Qian returned to Chen Bell Platform with the three children, only Chai Shao was present.

"Master."

Chai Shao quickly performed a salute.

Originally, his master only mentioned leaving for a while and did not specify for how long. He didn’t expect it to be more than a year.

He curiously looked at the three children following behind Li Qian, two boys and a girl. Could they be the new disciples taken by his master?

"From now on, these three will be your junior brothers and sister. You will teach them... Remember, start with Sword Stabbing Fist."

Li Qian said.

With a disciple helping him teach, there was no need for him to personally take on the task.

He believed Chai Shao was more suitable for teaching them than himself.

Having been constantly on the move and not focusing on cultivation this past year, including Arrays, he had made no progress.

Next, he needed to properly engage in cultivation by striking the bell, and also take inventory of the gains from his trip.

"Yes, Master."

Chai Shao quickly complied.

"Junior brothers and sister, let me introduce myself first..."

He spoke in the gentlest tone.

...

Dong dong dong dong...

As the crisp sound of the bell resonated, spreading across the sky of the Divine Sword Sect.

Li Qian bathed in the sound of the bell, his face showing an extremely refreshed and invigorating expression.

It had been more than a year since he last practiced cultivation by striking in front of Chen Bell.

This feeling was simply too wonderful.

He felt every cell in his body cheering and jumping for joy.

Thus, he reached out and grabbed, and the Divine Sword materialized in his hand.

Sword Eighteen.

Although he had completely refined Sword Eighteen, making it his Lifebound Holy Sword.

In actuality, Sword Eighteen was merely a container for the Lifebound Holy Sword.

If he wished, he could abandon Sword Eighteen.

However, a Lifebound Holy Sword with a container was much more powerful.

Furthermore, the stronger the container, the more powerful the Lifebound Holy Sword’s might.

After a session of cultivation, Li Qian took a deep breath, stored Sword Eighteen away, and looked at the three new disciples attentively listening to Chai Shao’s explanation of Sword Stabbing Fist. A smile appeared on his face as he stepped into the bell tower.

Next, he could finally cultivate by striking the bell in peace.
