Chapter 143 Xiao Tianren passed away
Chapter 143 Xiao Tianren passed away (asking for monthly ticket)
The time spent practicing by ringing the bell always passes quickly.
More than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Qian has already figured out the auxiliary effect of the upgraded Chen Zhong on spiritual practice.
His current cultivation level is in the late Heavenly Man Realm, and can be improved a little bit every fifteen days or so. With his current progress, it will probably take only four years for him to break through to the Martial Saint Realm above the Heavenly Man Realm.
This speed of practice is truly astonishing.
It takes him a month to make a little progress in his practice in the middle stage of the Heavenly Man Realm.
Now that his cultivation level has improved, his cultivation speed has doubled.
I can only say that the auxiliary practice effect of Chen Zhong after the upgrade is amazing.
As for the progress of his sword intent, it has increased from one point every six months to one point every two months. With the current progress of his sword intent, it will only take him more than twelve years to reach the level of 99.
The Dahe Sword Qi and Qi and Blood Holy Land can be improved approximately every thirty to forty days, and the speed of improvement is also much faster.
During this period of time, Liu Ming left the Chenzhongtai and officially entered the inner gate.
Bai Yun and Chai Shao, the two registered disciples, not only have their hidden bones gradually revealed, but they also have the effect of Chen Zhong giving them a daily enlightenment, so their practice of sword stabbing and fisting is extremely rapid. Bai Yun has achieved minor success and should not be far from major success.
Chai Shao was a little faster and had already mastered the sword and jab techniques.
After more than half a year of observation, Li Qian had a comprehensive understanding of these two registered disciples.
They all have good personalities.
Chai Shao, in particular, has a calm temperament, is serious and responsible in his work, and is hardworking. He never slacks off when practicing sword and jab, but devotes his whole heart to it.
Bai Yun was relatively simple and had no opinion of her own. However, under the influence of Chai Shao, she finally persevered and practiced sword jabs.
dong dong dong.
A clear bell rang.
After Li Qian rang the bell, he began to practice.
At this time, a figure came to the Chenzhongtai.
The man with bald head and wearing a black robe was Pang Bai.
Pang Bai now looks much more experienced.
After all, he is in his forties or fifties.
He was surprised when he saw two young men practicing sword jabs.
He had been in the Xuanzhou branch and had not returned to the Divine Sword Sect for a long time.
He came back after the Xuanzhou branch was closed.
"You are all menial disciples? Where is Liu Ming?"
Pang Bai saw that Li Qian was still practicing on the bell tower, so he did not disturb him. Instead, he watched the two of them practice boxing leisurely.
He found that both of them were practicing sword and jabbing, and regarded them as just menial disciples.
After all, the inner disciples have long been practicing internal skills, so who would still practice this broken fist?
"Senior, we are inner sect disciples, and Brother Liu has already entered the inner sect."
Chai Shao said quickly.
"Inner disciples? Are you disciples of Junior Brother Li?"
Pang Bai was very surprised.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for inner disciples to appear here.
"Uncle Master, yes, but we are only nominal disciples."
Chai Shao nodded.
"Since you are disciples of Junior Brother Li, why are you still practicing sword jabbing?"
Pang Bai was very confused.
He could not sense any internal energy from these two inner disciples, and it was obvious that they had not yet reached the level of martial arts.
Under normal circumstances, it is easy for inner disciples to become high-grade warriors after practicing internal skills.
"Uncle Master, Master only lets us practice sword jabs."
Bai Yun spoke up.
Tweet!
An eagle cry sounded in the air.
Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow swooped down from the sky and passed by Pang Bai with a whistling sound.
But Pang Bai was very fast and grabbed the black shadow's claw in one go.
Thump thump thump.
Xiao Hei cried and flapped his wings desperately, trying to break free.
But Pang Bai held it firmly.
"You bird have grown up so big, but you still hold grudges like this?"
Pang Bai cursed.
Although Xiao Hei had changed a lot, he still recognized him.
"Brother Pang, Xiao Hei is just saying hello to you."
Li Qian's voice rang out from the bell tower.
"Junior Brother Li, Xiao Hei has changed so much, isn't he? Has he become alienated?"
Pang Bai let go of Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei immediately flew out, circled in the air, and chirped incessantly.
“It’s alienated.”
Li Qian jumped down from the bell tower, "Brother Pang, when did you come back?"
"Didn't the Xuanzhou branch close down a while ago? I had no choice but to come back."
Pang Bai touched his shiny bald head and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to accept a disciple?"
Li Qian smiled and said, "If you want to collect it, just collect it. Why would you need so many reasons?"
Pang Bai asked curiously, "Since you are accepting disciples, why do you let them practice sword and jabbing?"
Li Qian said: "This is the rule of my Wuxin lineage."
"What a broken rule! Isn't this just wasting their time? Martial arts training is a race against time."
Pang Bai was a little confused.
"There's no time to waste." Li Qian shook his head.
Chai Shao and Bai Yun came out of the house and brought out spiritual tea.
Li Qian took it and took a sip.
"After all these years, you still haven't become an elder?"
Pang Bai asked curiously.
Li Qian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether I go up or not."
How wonderful it would be if he could now stay freely on the Chenzhong Tower and ring the bell to practice.
"You are so calm. If it were me, I would go to the square of the Sword Palace and curse."
Pang Bai said.
He naturally knew the reason.
Li Qian's refusal to do the meritorious mission gave the elders of the Divine Sword Sect an excuse, saying that he did not have enough merit. Although the sect leader nominated him many times, he was not approved in the end.
At noon, Chai Shao and Bai Yun cooked some appetizers, and Pang Bai stayed to eat and drink.
"I heard that Nangong Bei had already become a Grandmaster two years ago."
Pang Bai drank the wine in the glass and suddenly said.
Li Qian said: "He is a true disciple and is practicing in the Sword Grinding Cave. It is normal for him to be a Grandmaster."
Pang Bai sighed and said, "Ji Ming is also a Grandmaster."
Li Qian smiled and said, "It won't be long before you can become a Grandmaster."
"I'm so far away. I guess there's no hope."
Pang Bai shook his head.
In the past, he was very proud and hoped to become the youngest elder and the most powerful elder in the Divine Sword Sect. But after being beaten by time, he realized that his physique and talent were just average.
Li Qian didn't say much.
If one could stay in the Divine Sword Sect for a long time to practice and receive the baptism of the first bell of the Chen Bell every day, there would still be a great chance for him to become a grandmaster.
After eating and drinking, Pang Bai was a little drunk and left Chenzhongtai.
In the afternoon, Li Qian went to the Formation Valley to study the set of Shenyou Bingjia mother-and-child formation.
With his current attainments in formation, it was very difficult for him to set up the five-base formation in Panyuan Cave Mansion.
So now he has to go to the Formation Valley every few days to get the Divine Weapon Armor Mother and Child Formation to make some progress.
As time went by, Dachang's evil became more serious.
In just over a year, many strange incidents occurred within the Taiwu Dao area alone.
Fortunately, with the establishment of Taiwu Taoist Palace, there is a more powerful Taoist master in charge. Although demonic phenomena occur frequently, they have not spread and are all within the controllable range.
Early in the morning of that day, a powerful aura suddenly emerged from a peak of the Divine Sword Sect. A sword shadow wrapped in thunder condensed in the air, and surging vitality gathered together, which immediately attracted the attention of many masters and grand masters of the Divine Sword Sect.
"Is it Zidian Peak?"
Sect leader Feng Shaoyu walked out of the Divine Sword Hall at the first opportunity. He looked in a certain direction with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
As a grandmaster, he could sense that this powerful aura contained a higher level of sword intent.
"True image-level martial intention, heavenly being."
This means that a new celestial being was born in the Divine Sword Sect.
After the aura gradually subsided, he hurried to Zidian Peak.
Not only the sect leader Feng Shaoyu, but many other peak masters and elders also gathered there.
After a long time, a middle-aged figure in a green robe walked out from Zidian Peak, flew in the air, and then landed in front of everyone.
"Okay, okay, Qingsong, you have finally broken through to the realm of heaven and man."
Xiao Tianren arrived at the scene as soon as possible.
He looked much older.
In the past few years, he has been staying in the Divine Sword Sect.
I rarely go out.
The main reason is that he felt that his end was not far away.
He was seriously injured many times in those days. Although the senior gave him a magical medicine, it restored some of his vitality and allowed him to live a few more years.
But he is also more than two hundred years old.
In the past year, he could clearly feel that he was aging at an accelerated rate.
This means that it won’t be long before he passes away.
Now that he saw that the Divine Sword Sect had once again given birth to a Heavenly Man Realm person, he couldn't help but feel extremely happy.
Moreover, Qingsong achieved breakthrough on his own, which means that Qingsong has higher potential than Hou Shuwen.
"Uncle Master, I'm so lucky. I thought there was no way I could break through."
Elder Qingsong said with a chuckle.
He is not from a true family. He has been working for the Huolong Temple for the past thirty years and only returned a few years ago.
Originally, he didn't have much hope of breaking through the realm of heaven and man.
However, over the past year or so, he found that he could always gain something from comprehending the sword intent after the morning bell rang. Over time, he changed his comprehending of the sword intent to the time period from Mao to Chen in the morning.
Unexpectedly, after practicing today, his sword intent actually broke through to the True Image level in one fell swoop, thus successfully entering the Heavenly Man Realm.
"Junior Brother Qingsong, you must tell us about your experience in achieving a breakthrough."
Wan Xiangu, the leader of Zidian Peak, said with a smile.
Qingsong and she had the same master, so she was naturally very happy that Junior Brother Qingsong had broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm.
"I don't have any experience. But I think practicing and comprehending the sword spirit during the period from Mao to Chen every morning should be beneficial."
Elder Qingsong thought for a moment and said.
"Eh? Junior Brother Qingsong, do you really think that the time between Mao Hour and Chen Hour is more effective for cultivation?"
Sect leader Feng Shaoyu asked hurriedly.
Because he also likes to practice during this time period.
He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but in recent months, he found that the effect of practicing during this period of time was obviously better, especially in comprehending the sword intent, he could always gain something.
"Yes, has the Sect Master discovered it too?"
Elder Qingsong nodded and said.
"Yes, I discovered it in recent months as well."
Sect leader Feng Shaoyu nodded and said.
Other elders and peak masters were all astonished. Everyone had their own practice habits, and many people liked to practice at night.
So they didn't find anything unusual.
There were also some people who had occasionally practiced from the morning till the evening, but the number of times was relatively small and they did not pay much attention to it. But now, when they heard Elder Qingsong, who had broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm, say this, they all recalled the past.
"Whether practicing during this period of time will have a better effect, we will know when we go back and try it out."
Sect Master Feng Shaoyu smiled and said, "Moreover, over the past year or so, I have discovered that the cultivation progress of the new inner sect disciples seems to be much faster than that of the previous few generations."
As the sect leader, he has always been paying attention to the cultivation of those inner disciples who have not yet become his disciples.
The main purpose is to select inner disciples who are worthy of training.
These outstanding inner disciples, after standing out, often gain more resources for cultivation.
That's why he discovered from the summarized data that the cultivation speed of this group of inner disciples was obviously faster.
"Oh, is there anything else?"
Xiao Wendao was very surprised. He never practiced sword skills in the morning.
"Uncle-master, if the effect of cultivation is better during this period of time, I guess it is probably related to the changes in the heaven and earth." Sect leader Feng Shaoyu said.
"Well, if this is really the case, then we must promote it within our Divine Sword Sect."
Xiao asked and nodded.
This seemingly simple change in training time may bring about earth-shaking changes in the Divine Sword Sect.
Chen bell tower.
Li Qian sensed the breath coming from the direction of the inner gate.
"Has anyone else broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm?"
Standing on the bell tower, Li Qian put his hands behind his back, his eyes sparkling with brilliance.
He was a little curious. Could it be related to the first sound of the Chen Bell if someone suddenly broke through to the Heavenly Man Realm?
"I wonder if the leaders of the Divine Sword Sect have discovered that practicing at the hour of Mao is more effective?"
Li Qian touched his chin.
But he certainly wouldn't say it.
It can only be figured out by the people from the Divine Sword Sect.
Anyway, at the Chenzhongtai, he asked the two registered disciples to start practicing sword and stabbing after getting up, and they had to practice for at least an hour.
Suddenly, Li Qian looked at Chai Shao who was practicing sword jabbing under the bell tower, with a look of surprise on his face.
Because Chai Shao's boxing technique actually produced an invisible force, which attracted the surrounding air, and every move contained the sharpness of a sword.
Chai Shao's sword jab was also perfected today.
As for Bai Yun's boxing skills, they are still a little bit worse.
Bai Yun also noticed that there was something unusual about Brother Chai's boxing skills, so she quickly stopped and watched from the side.
At this moment, Chai Shao has completely entered the perfect state of sword jabbing and punching.
From Li Qian's perception, a trace of internal energy had begun to emerge in Chai Shao's body.
Not only did he perfect his sword, jab and fist, but he also became an entry-level warrior.
At first, Li Qian first became an entry-level warrior, and then practiced the sword, jabs and fists to perfection.
After a long time, Chai Shao retracted his fist and let out a long breath.
He felt the internal energy flowing in his body, and his Ren and Du meridians had been opened, indicating that he had become an entry-level warrior.
"Brother, have you made a breakthrough?"
Bai Yun asked quickly.
"Ah."
Chai Shao nodded slightly.
"In less than two years, I have perfected my sword, jab and fist, and at the same time, I have entered the martial arts realm. I am barely doing okay."
Li Qian stood on the bell tower, with his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Bai Yun, you have to work harder."
"Master, I understand."
Bai Yun said quickly.
Next, Li Qian called Chai Shao into the room, taught him the Wuxin Sword Technique, and warned him not to teach it privately until Bai Yun had perfected the sword and pierce fist.
Li Qian was not worried that Bai Yun could perform the sword jab perfectly.
After all, Bai Yun has good talent, and his hidden bone is almost manifested. In addition, he practices on the Chen Bell Platform every day, so he can hear the first bell of the Chen Bell from a close distance.
"Brother, did Master teach you the inner strength method?"
Bai Yun saw Chai Shao coming out of the house with a sword and immediately asked in a low voice.
"Well, Junior Sister, Master said that you cannot practice internal skills until you have perfected your sword, jab, and fist."
Chai Shao said quickly.
"I know you thought I would let you teach me."
Bai Yun wrinkled her nose, "I'm sure I'll be able to perfect my sword and jab and enter the martial arts realm soon."
"Brother, your sword is so beautiful, can you let me play with it?"
Her eyes rolled and fell on the sword in Chai Shao's hand, and she said with a smile.
"No."
Chai Shao shook his head and said, "Master said that the sword is a part of the body, how can we let others touch it casually?"
"mean."
Bai Yun snorted and ran to the side to continue practicing sword and jab.
Chai Shao smiled, went back to his room, and began to look through the Wuxin Sword Technique secret book given to him by his master.
half a month later.
Divine Sword Hall.
Many elders and peak masters gathered together.
Including the three great celestial beings are also present.
"After visiting for a while, and the experiments of the elders and peak masters, it is now basically confirmed that practicing from the time of Maoshi to Chenzhong will indeed have unexpected benefits."
Sect leader Feng Shaoyu said: "But it is only limited to our Divine Sword Sect. We have not found such an effect in other places yet. Maybe changes have occurred in our Divine Sword Sect that we don't understand."
"Isn't this better? It will be of great benefit to our Divine Sword Sect. Maybe a celestial being will be born after our Divine Sword Sect."
A powerful elder said with a smile.
There are many top grandmasters in the Divine Sword Sect. Since Elder Qingsong can break through the Heavenly Man Realm, there will be some hope for other top grandmasters who choose to practice in the time period from Mao to Chen.
"Haha, I hope so."
The sect leader nodded.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Chen bell tower.
Master Zhou Buping came back from the inner gate and brought back a piece of news.
"Early practice system? No wonder in the past year or so, every time I practice after the bell rings at the hour of Mao, I always feel that the effect is better than before."
Li Qian nodded and said.
When he learned that the top leaders of the Divine Sword Sect had finally discovered this problem, he was extremely relieved.
He believed that the leaders of the Divine Sword Sect would definitely make the most of this good opportunity for cultivation.
"Well, it's normal that you can find this situation."
Zhou Buping was not surprised.
He knew that his disciple had a very strange habit, which was that every time the bell rang, he would practice swordsmanship, day after day, year after year, with almost no interruption.
"Grandmaster, I have always been unable to practice this sword technique well. It feels awkward when it is used."
At this time, Bai Yun ran over.
Perhaps it was Chai Shao's stimulation that she successfully mastered the sword-jab and punch two days ago and completed the martial arts level.
"Xiao Yun, show your skills to Master."
Zhou Buping said with a smile.
"Okay, Master."
Bai Yun quickly took the sword and started practicing.
“Your question is obvious.”
Zhou Buping saw the problem at a glance and immediately gave instructions.
Li Qian just smiled when he saw this scene. Ever since his master knew that his two disciples had mastered sword, piercing and punching and had reached the level of martial arts, he has paid more attention to them and personally instructed them every day.
Anyway, until now, whenever the two disciples have a problem, they will go to their grandmaster instead of him as their master.
But he also enjoyed his leisure time.
More than a year passed like this.
On this day, an inner sect disciple from the Divine Sword Temple suddenly came up the mountain.
"Uncle Li, the ancestor suddenly summoned all the disciples above the Grandmaster level to go to the Daoist Temple, saying that he has something to tell them."
The inner sect disciple said after bowing.
"Explain what happened?"
Li Qian was stunned at first, then his heart skipped a beat and he understood something.
Xiao Tianren probably felt that he was about to pass away and was preparing to make arrangements for his funeral arrangements.
At that time, Xiao Tianren suffered serious injuries many times and his vital energy was consumed too much. Although he gave him a pill that restored a lot of his vital energy, he could not recover to his peak state after all.
Speaking of which, the fact that Xiao Tianren could live for such a long time was actually beyond expectations.
Unfortunately, taking too much of that kind of medicine can only heal injuries but cannot replenish your vital energy.
Otherwise, Li Qian would not be stingy in giving Xiao Tianren another pill.
Li Qian said: "You go back first, I will rush over right away."
The inner sect disciple nodded and went down the mountain.
Li Qian went to the vegetable garden in the back mountain and found his master Zhou Buping who was busy.
Master is in good spirits, although he has aged a lot.
Li Qian hasn't given his master that kind of elixir yet, mainly because his master had once taken a life-gathering elixir, so if he could extend the time interval between taking the elixir, the life-extending effect would be better.
Li Qian found his master and told him about Xiao Tianren's gathering.
Master Zhou Buping's face immediately turned serious, and he understood that his great-uncle was about to make arrangements for his funeral arrangements.
As the most senior senior member of the Divine Sword Sect, Xiao Tianren can be regarded as the backbone of the Divine Sword Sect. It was under the leadership of Xiao Tianren that the Divine Sword Sect went through the most difficult and dangerous period.
Therefore, Xiao Tianren's prestige in the Divine Sword Sect is unmatched.
"Let's go there quickly."
Zhou Buping sighed and then said.
Li Qian nodded.
He has always respected Xiao Tianren, the celestial being.
Now that this Xiao Tianren is about to pass away, it is time to see him off.
Li Qian and his master Zhou Buping came to the Daotang where Xiao Tianren was meditating, where many martial arts masters above the level of elders from the Divine Sword Sect had gathered.
Many retired elders also arrived one after another.
Everyone understood what it meant when Xiao Tianren gathered everyone together to explain things, so everyone had a solemn expression and the atmosphere was heavy.
Ask inside the Taoist temple.
Xiao Tianren sat cross-legged, his face was extremely rosy and he was in a very good mental state.
The other two masters of the Divine Sword Sect, Hou Shuwen and Elder Qingsong, were standing in front of Xiao Tianren.
Although they are also celestial beings, they are juniors in front of Xiao Tianren.
"From now on, the Divine Sword Sect will be handed over to you two."
Xiao Tianren said calmly.
I don't have too many regrets about my impending death.
After all, he could see that two more celestial beings appeared in the Divine Sword Sect, which meant there were successors.
Moreover, the Divine Sword Sect will surely become more prosperous in the future.
"Uncle Master, please rest assured that we will not let you down."
Said Hou Shuwen, the leader of Guiyi Peak.
"Qingsong, there is one more thing I need to tell you. It is related to the top secret of my Divine Sword Sect. I originally wanted to let Shuwen tell you, but I'd better tell you in person."
Xiao Tianren looked at Elder Qingsong and said.
"Uncle Master, please speak."
Elder Qingsong was a little confused.
So, Xiao Tianren told the story that the Divine Sword Sect had a hidden ancestor.
Elder Qingsong was stunned.
He didn't expect that his own sect actually had such an unknown background?
"Just keep this in mind."
Xiao Tianren said: "You two must remember that Li Qian of Chenzhongtai cannot be treated as an ordinary disciple. No matter what happens in the future, it must not affect Chenzhongtai. No matter what he does, you should not interfere."
"Uncle Master, we will remember this."
Hou Shuwen and Elder Qingsong spoke quickly.
Since Li Qian of Chenzhongtai has an unusual relationship with the ancestor, he must be well worshipped.
After finishing his instructions, Xiao Tianren stood up and walked out of the Tao Pavilion.
Hou Shuwen and Elder Qingsong, two celestial beings, followed behind Xiao Tianren.
When Xiao Tianren came out of the Dao Pavilion, the originally chaotic scene suddenly became quiet.
Almost in an instant, everyone knelt down on their knees.
In the Divine Sword Sect, only the ancestor Xiao Tianren is worthy of their kneeling.
Xiao Tianren's eyes swept across the entire room, sweeping over everyone as if he wanted to remember everyone, then he chuckled and said, "Everyone, stand up. Today, I will make the final decision. From now on, the Divine Sword Sect will establish the position of Grand Elder above the Sword Master and the Sect Master. This position will have the highest decision-making power in the Divine Sword Sect, and only Tianren is qualified to hold this position. Even if I am the first Grand Elder of the Divine Sword Sect, Hou Shuwen will be the second Grand Elder, and Qingsong will be the third Grand Elder."
"I will obey my ancestor's decree."
Everyone shouted in unison.
"Ancestor, hehe, I can't bear that all the ancestors have dispersed."
Xiao Tianren smiled, waved his hand, and turned to walk towards the sword tomb.
The sword tomb is his final destination.
Everyone did not leave, but saw him off all the way until Xiao Tianren's figure disappeared in the sword tomb.
