Chapter 179: The Fall of the Martial Saint
Chapter 179: The Fall of the Martial Saint (asking for monthly tickets)
Sixteen years passed in the blink of an eye.
In these years, various rumors have spread, such as a demonic disaster appearing in Daxia, a demon saint appearing in Qiguo, and so on.
All the major forces in Dachang were frightened.
But in the end it was all a false alarm.
Although the activities of monsters are rampant in Dachang, they are still within controllable range.
During this period, Yang Fan became Li Qian's second disciple to break through to the celestial being level. Xu Long and Su Xinlan were two or three years behind Yang Fan.
Among the third-generation disciples Wang Yuxuan and Li Bozhi who were accepted more than ten years ago, Wang Yuxuan had already cultivated the perfect innate body three years ago, while Li Bozhi has never cultivated the pure sword body, and his progress is not optimistic.
As early as a few years ago, after seeing Li Bozhi's progress in cultivating the Immaculate Sword Body, Li Qian wanted him to give up practicing the Immaculate Sword Body and directly break through to the innate level.
But Li Bozhi was stubborn and unwilling to give up, and said firmly that if he couldn't achieve perfect innateness, he would rather never break through.
After all, there is the example of Uncle Bai Yun, who failed to achieve perfect innateness back then, and has not yet achieved the level of a celestial being, and has been surpassed by his three younger brothers and sisters.
Now Bai Yun is full of regrets.
Li Qian had no choice but to follow him.
It's his own choice.
On the clock tower.
Li Qian was lying on a chair. He had just completed several sessions of practicing the Eight Hells Yama Soul Refining Technique, and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
At this moment, he was calling up the system interface to check the latest information.
Martial Saint Realm (96/100 at the initial stage).
View of the primordial spirit (23/100).
Chen Zhong (Ling 23246/100000).
Great River Sword Energy (Third Level 71/100).
Heartless Sword Intention (the fourth level of Wanxiang 39/100).
Sanctuary of Qi and Blood (Binary State 52/100).
Qianyuan Formation Classic (Eight Bases 19/100).
Fox Puppet (.)
His current martial arts level has reached the top level of Martial Saint, and he is not far from becoming a Great Saint.
Under normal circumstances, his cultivation speed could not be so fast. All this was due to the improvement of his Yuanshen view, which had already reached twenty-three points of progress.
As his soul became stronger, his cultivation speed in all aspects also increased.
Moreover, the greatest impact of the strengthening of the soul is the comprehension of sword intent.
He now comprehends the sword intent much faster than at the beginning. Even though his All-Seeing Sword Intent has reached the fourth level, his progress has not slowed down, but has improved instead.
Until now, we have been able to ensure that we can make some progress within more than 20 days.
In the past ten years or so, there have been a large number of celestial beings emerging from the Divine Sword Sect, with one or two being born almost every year.
Now the number of celestial beings in the Divine Sword Sect has reached nearly fifty.
Moreover, there are already several intermediate-level celestial beings.
As for the proportion of grand masters, it is even higher.
All of this is the effect of the spiritual weapon Chen Zhong.
As the ritual and refining of the spiritual weapon Chen Zhong deepened, the coverage of the Chen Zhong field has been expanding. It is now dozens of times larger, almost covering half of the Divine Sword Sect, causing the effect of the first bell of Chen Zhong to be even stronger.
This is also the main reason why the martial arts level of the Divine Sword Sect has experienced a huge explosion in the past decade.
Huilong Mountains.
This was once the site of the Lion Demon City.
Suddenly, a large yellow cloud descended from the sky, revealing dozens of hideous figures.
The one in the lead looked like a scholar, wearing a gray cloth gown, a silk scarf, had yellow hair, and held a black leather book in his hand.
His face was no different from that of an ordinary person, and his eyes were gentle, which formed a sharp contrast with the burly and ferocious monsters around him, as if they were not of the same kind at all.
"Lion City, I'm finally back."
The Demon Saint Huang Lang frowned slightly as he looked at the Lion Camel Demon City which no longer existed.
He didn't expect that the human being back then had completely broken the formation of the Lion Demon City.
Over the years, he has always been thinking about that martial saint on earth.
Moreover, Lion Camel Ridge also attaches equal importance to it.
After all, that martial saint on earth has cultivated the holy realm of qi and blood, and is definitely the natural nemesis of the demon clan.
"But I will find you and suck your blood."
Suddenly, he opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs, "Of course, the premise is that you are not dead yet."
Chen bell tower.
Chai Shao just came back from the inner gate.
As a celestial being, he is also listed as the supreme elder.
Due to the large number of celestial beings in the Divine Sword Sect, the current Supreme Hall has been restructured. After achieving the status of a celestial being, one cannot directly become a Supreme Elder. One must have sufficient merits before being able to obtain the status of a Supreme Elder.
Moreover, on the basis of the Supreme Elder, the Grand Supreme Elder was added.
Only intermediate-level celestial beings are qualified to serve as the supreme elder.
There are currently six great elders in the Divine Sword Sect.
Among them, Li Qian is one of the six supreme elders.
Although Li Qian had never revealed his true strength, the Supreme Hall still included him in the list of supreme elders.
However, this does not affect his presence in the Divine Sword Sect at all.
Anyway, over the years, unless he was invited to attend a meeting, he never attended the meetings of the Supreme Hall. At most, he would send his disciples to attend.
"Master, there is a big news. A large-scale demon disaster has occurred in the Huilong Mountains. It is said that a demon saint has appeared. The people of Dao Sect are dealing with it. Let us from the Divine Sword Sect cooperate with the gods and people."
Chai Shao came to Li Qian and told him the content of the meeting.
As early as ten years ago, Dao Zong began to come to the fore, so local forces such as the Divine Sword Sect have already learned of the existence of this behemoth Dao Zong.
Li Qian was very surprised. He had destroyed even the defensive stakes of the Lion Camel Demon City on the other side of the Huilong Mountains. Now another demon disaster had occurred. Could it be that the Lion Camel Ridge had more in-depth arrangements here?
Moreover, he became alert. Since the Demon Saint appeared, could it be the Demon Saint whose demon body he destroyed that year?
"It seems I have to be more low-key, so as not to be targeted by the Demon Saint."
Li Qian's heart moved.
Anyway, with Dao Sect leading the way, the Divine Sword Sect can only produce some celestial beings at most, so the risk is not that big.
Unless the survival of the Divine Sword Sect is threatened, he will not take action, let alone show up.
After all, his current cultivation progress has reached the 96th level of the initial stage of the Martial Saint Realm and the 27th level of the fourth level of the Myriad Sword Intent.
To become a Great Sage, the standard is to reach the middle stage of Martial Saint Realm and the fifth level of All-Seeing Sword Intent.
Therefore, it shouldn’t be long before he reaches the level of Great Sage.
A few months later.
In Huilong Mountains, a shocking battle is about to begin.
On one side are the martial arts masters led by Dao Zong, who almost gathered all the celestial-level martial arts forces in Changguo, and on the other side is the newly built Lion Camel Demon City.
Even the Divine Sword Sect sent out most of its men to join the battle.
In the current lineup, Tianren can only be regarded as ordinary masters. The real main force is the Tianxiang-level Tianren from Dao Sect, and the top level has reached the level of Martial Saint.
In the area where the Lion-Camel Demon City is located, the demonic aura is overwhelming. There are hundreds of monsters of all sizes, including quite a few sky-level monsters.
"Brother Yuan, this Huang Lang Demon Saint is a top-level Demon Saint. If the three of us join forces, I'm afraid we have no chance of winning."
The blue-clothed old man Chen Sicheng said in a deep voice.
Although Senior Brother Yuan is a top-level martial saint, he was once seriously injured and had an arm broken. His cultivation was greatly damaged. How much fighting power does he still have?
Now most of Dao Sect's strength is tied up in a few defense lines, and there is no way to send people to support them. They can only rely on them to deal with the Huang Lang Demon Saint of Lion Camel Ridge.
A man in a purple robe next to him also looked worried.
"This Huang Lang Demon Saint once lost a demon body in the human world, so he definitely can't maintain his peak condition. We still have a chance."
The one-armed man Yuan Chenggang shook his head and said.
"Uncle Yuan, I heard that a martial saint was born before the barrier of the human world was closed?"
The purple-robed man Yan Fu asked curiously.
"Yes, it is true. At the beginning, the Taoist Wang Xi of the Yaoshan lineage had contact with this Martial Saint. However, after the demonic disaster, the Martial Saint disappeared."
The one-armed man Yuan Chenggang nodded and said.
"Maybe he has fallen, otherwise why is there no news at all?"
The old man in blue, Chen Sicheng, said.
"That's unknown. I heard from the Elders Hall that this Martial Saint on earth did not refine the Elders' Jade Book, so we can't be sure whether this Martial Saint is alive or dead. But I heard that the Elders' Jade Book appeared more than a decade ago, so the Elders Hall speculates that this Martial Saint should not be dead yet."
The one-armed man Yuan Chenggang shook his head and said.
The Dao Sect's Jade Book of Elders has a very special function, which can determine the life or death of the elders.
Once an elder dies, the information can be obtained first.
As long as the elder's jade book is not placed in the storage device, it can be located.
"If this Martial Saint had not fallen, why had he not refined the Elder Jade Certificate? Doesn't he know what an opportunity it is to become an elder of the Dao Sect?"
The old man in blue, Chen Sicheng, said.
There was a hint of envy in his tone.
After all, to be able to become an elder, one must be at least a top-level Martial Saint in Dao Sect.
As for becoming an elder below the top Martial Saint, it is incredibly difficult and one must have made outstanding contributions to the Dao Sect.
That Martial Saint in the Human World was granted the status of elder by Dao Sect as an exception because of his outstanding contributions in clearing out all the demon forces in the human world.
"The Yellow Demon Saint has come out."
Suddenly, the one-armed man Yuan Chenggang said.
Suddenly, a huge yellow cloud emerged from the Lion Demon City and condensed into the shape of a giant weasel.
"Hehehe, it seems that your Dao Sect is really empty-handed. One has a broken arm, and the other is blind. But this Saint hates fighting and killing the most. As long as you hand over the towns within a thousand miles around Lion Camel City to my Lion Camel City for management, we can keep to ourselves."
A strange laugh came from the huge yellow cloud.
"What a wishful thinking."
The one-armed man Yuan Chenggang snorted coldly, suddenly opened his mouth and a sword energy shot out, with thunder entwined above the sword energy.
boom!
The huge weasel cloud suddenly stretched out a claw and clashed fiercely with the sword energy in the air.
At the same time, the terrifying holy land evolved from the Wanxiang martial will and the demonic thoughts also collided wildly.
suddenly!
The sword energy shattered.
A terrifying weasel cloud roared out, and the holy land transformed by the rolling demonic thoughts crushed over.
The one-armed man, Yuan Chenggang, was staggering and his face was pale.
The green-clothed old man and the purple-robed man standing on both sides of him also attacked almost at the same time. With the combined power of the two holy domains, they were able to barely resist the All-Seeing Demon Domain of the Demon Saint Huang Lang.
"Haha, the top martial saint of the human race is just like this."
The wild laughter of the Huanglang Demon Saint rang out.
The next moment, the huge weasel cloud suddenly shrank and turned into a yellow cloak, which fell on a hideous and terrifying humanoid monster.
It was the Demon Saint Huang Lang.
It holds a giant bone-yellow brush.
"You three come together."
The one-armed man Yuan Chenggang exchanged a glance with the other two Martial Saints, and immediately the three of them soared into the sky as fast as lightning and started fighting with the Huang Lang Demon Saint in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the celestial beings and demons on both sides, and the celestial beings and ordinary big demons also fought in the air.
On the ground, a large number of masters, grand masters and little demons also started a fierce fight.
Human warriors and monsters died in battle every moment, and even the corpses of celestial beings and monsters fell from the sky one after another.
After a long time, there was a sudden loud noise from the sky, followed by a mutilated corpse falling from the sky.
It’s the Green-robed Martial Saint Chen Sicheng.
His body looked as if it had been brushed by something, not a single inch of it was intact.
Suddenly, a purple-robed figure dropped from the sky and caught the remains of the old man in green.
His eyes were red because Uncle Chen blocked the fatal blow from the Demon Saint Huang Lang in order to save him, otherwise he would have died.
At this time, the noise in the sky became more and more terrifying, with thunder rumbling and yellow clouds everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, the pervasive evil spirit was torn apart, and a huge figure wrapped in thunder appeared, like the god of thunder descending to the earth.
"Damn it, Master Yuan used a forbidden technique."
When the purple-robed martial saint Yan Fu saw this scene, his face turned ugly.
Because what Master Yuan manifested was the form of the primordial spirit.
Under normal circumstances, even a top-level martial saint would not be able to use his soul. Once injured, his soul would collapse and he would die.
Only a Great Sage of the first level can use the Dharma image of the primordial spirit.
But now, Master Yuan is actually forcibly activating the forbidden technique and displaying the soul's Dharma image. This is already a life-and-death struggle.
"You crazy human."
When the Demon Saint Huang Lang saw this scene, he was also shocked.
For a top-level martial saint to use his soul's form is simply courting death.
Only those with martial will above the fifth level of Wanxiang can maintain the Dharma form of the primordial spirit, otherwise the backlash caused will inevitably lead to the collapse of the primordial spirit.
Now that this human martial saint has used his primordial spirit and Dharma image, it has created a huge sense of oppression for him.
As the opponent swung out a thunder sword, rolling thunder filled the air and easily tore apart his Wanxiang Demon Realm.
puff!
The cloak on the Huanglang Demon Saint collapsed in an instant.
It also spat out a mouthful of blood and its momentum declined sharply.
Two more swords were swung at him, and the Huanglang Demon Saint had nowhere to hide. He forcibly endured the two swords, and one of his arms was directly broken.
However, as a demon saint, it is different from humans and can regenerate after losing an arm. Suddenly!
The soul image of Thunder God holding a thunder sword instantly appeared in front of the Huanglang Demon Saint, and stabbed him fiercely with the thunder sword.
The Demon Saint Huanglang felt a devastating disaster.
It opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of beads.
A strong yellow evil spirit rolled out, forming a wind wall that blocked the thunder sword.
The thunder on the Thunder Sword spread, tearing through layer of wind walls, and finally the Thunder Sword hit the bead.
The Demon Saint Huang Lang was trembling all over. This bead was his natal demon pill, which was the source of his greatest strength, but also his weakness. Once the demon pill was broken, he would surely die.
Just when the Demon Saint Huang Lang felt that his own demon pill was about to collapse, suddenly, the thunder sword shook violently and actually disintegrated.
Immediately afterwards, a deep regret flashed in the eyes of the Thunder God's image, he let out a sigh, and then the image began to collapse.
The next moment, the one-armed Yuan Chenggang's body fell from the air.
"Uncle Yuan"
When the old man in green saw this scene, he was furious. He shouted in grief and anger, and quickly flew up to catch Yuan Chenggang's body.
"Get out quickly."
Yuan Chenggang only uttered a weak sound before his last breath of life completely dissipated.
The purple-robed Martial Saint Yan Fu looked hatefully at the Huang Lang Demon Saint in the sky. He was only a junior Martial Saint. Even if the Huang Lang Demon Saint was severely injured by Senior Brother Yuan, he was definitely not his opponent.
"withdraw."
Immediately, he shouted loudly, and the sound shook the whole area.
The originally tense battlefield suddenly became quiet, and all the masters of the Taoist sects and major martial arts forces immediately abandoned the monsters and began to retreat.
Many monsters were suppressed by the purple-robed martial saint Yan Fu's all-encompassing martial power and had no way of chasing them.
After all the human masters withdrew from the battlefield, he quickly retreated holding the bodies of Senior Brother Yuan and Yan Fu.
High in the sky, Martial Saint Huang Lang took back his natal demon pill and watched the human Martial Saint retreat without giving chase.
Because its injuries are very serious now.
Although the Thunder Sword collapsed at the last moment, its innate demon pill was still severely damaged and cracks appeared.
Perhaps if he took action now, he could kill the junior martial saint, but its injuries would become more serious due to the forceful use of its demonic power.
What's more, the goal of this battle has been achieved.
The power of the Dao Sect within the Chang Kingdom is not enough to threaten the Lion Demon City.
"My fellow men, from now on, the area within a thousand miles is the hunting ground of our Lion Demon City."
The Demon Saint Huang Lang let out a long roar.
Woo woo woo.
For a moment, the demons danced wildly, roaring and howling.
Hechen County City.
The celestial beings of the Divine Sword Sect have already retreated here.
In this battle, several celestial beings from the Divine Sword Sect died.
As for the casualties, the number of grandmasters and great grandmasters was even greater.
"The Lion City has turned the area within a thousand miles into a hunting ground. Next, unless there is stronger support, Dao Sect will definitely shrink its forces."
Elder Qingsong's face was very solemn as he analyzed the situation calmly.
Faced with such a situation, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
Even Dao Sect lost two Martial Saints.
Not to mention the celestial-level celestial beings and ordinary celestial beings, there are even more of them.
"Are we just going to let those cities fall into the hands of the demons?"
A celestial being said in a deep voice.
"For now, we in the Divine Sword Sect should focus on protecting ourselves first, and we cannot provoke the Lion Camel Demon City for the time being."
Elder Qingsong said in a deep voice: "So, next we must withdraw all forces from the thousand-mile radius of the Lion Demon City."
Although they had to give up so many cities and countless humans had become prey to the demons, the Divine Sword Sect was unable to protect itself and had no other options.
In this situation, even if the ancestor took action, it would be of no use.
After all, there is a demon saint in the Lion Demon City.
Many celestial beings fell silent.
"Carry out the order immediately."
Elder Qingsong said.
As the leader of the many supreme elders of the Divine Sword Sect, he could only harden his heart and make this decision.
As a result, many celestial beings took action.
Soon, a large number of orders were conveyed.
Except for leaving behind some latent forces, all the visible martial arts forces of the Divine Sword Sect withdrew from these towns.
Chen bell tower.
As soon as Chai Shao returned from the front line, he told Li Qian the result of the battle of Huilong Mountain.
Li Qian was shocked.
Dao Zong lost two Martial Saints.
Even one of them is an elder of Dao Sect.
To be able to become an elder, one must be a top-level martial saint.
"Is the Huang Lang Demon Saint so strong?"
Li Qian muttered to himself.
He had faced this demon saint head-on and even destroyed his demon body.
Now even the elders of Dao Sect have fallen, so one can imagine how powerful this Huang Lang Demon Saint is.
Although he is also a top-level martial saint, he has little combat experience. He has no confidence in dealing with a top-level demon saint like Huang Lang Martial Saint who has experienced hundreds of battles.
Unless it is within the field of one's own Chen Zhong.
"Is Yang Fan okay?"
Li Qian looked at his eldest disciple Chai Shao and asked immediately.
Among his several celestial disciples, Chai Shao and Yang Fan both participated in the great battle at Huilong Mountain.
They both took the initiative to participate.
Li Qian was too lazy to care about them.
They are all celestial beings and have their own ideas.
"Yang Fan was slightly injured, but it's not serious."
Chai Shao said.
Li Qian nodded. After all, they were his disciples whom he had trained for so many years. He would still be worried if something happened.
Sometimes he thought that if he had insisted on not accepting disciples, he would not have had these concerns.
After Chai Shao left, Li Qian sighed softly, then walked into the house and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Suddenly, several clear bells rang.
It was Li Bozhi who was ringing the bell.
Now the only one who stays in Chenzhongtai all year round is Li Bozhi.
He is still practicing the Immaculate Sword Body unremittingly.
Li Qian felt that this child was a little crazy.
But let it be.
Li Qian glanced at the white fox lying not far away.
The aura hidden in it has become stronger, and it seems that it is about to break through to the level of an upper celestial demon.
Such a speed of cultivation is extremely astonishing.
Under normal circumstances, even with a lightless level of talent, it would not be possible to be so fast.
But the problem is that Li Qian's enhanced spirit can be fed back to the fox puppet, thus promoting the fox puppet's cultivation speed to a certain extent.
Li Qian closed his eyes and began to practice the Eight Hells Yama Soul Refining Method in the sound of the bell.
I don’t know how long it had been, but Li Qian suddenly felt a shock all over his body, and he entered a very strange state, as if he had become extremely sober and calm.
He had an idea and summoned the system interface.
View of the Primordial Spirit (24/100) [Enlightenment].
The level of Yuanshen Guan improved a little bit, reaching 24. The most peculiar thing was that in the column of Yuanshen Guan, the word "enlightenment" appeared flickeringly.
When Li Qian's attention fell on the word "enlightenment", a strange information emerged.
“It turns out that when the soul view reaches a certain level, it will produce very special soul characteristics, which vary from person to person.”
Li Qian muttered to himself.
After his spiritual observation progress reached 24 points, he developed the characteristics of sudden enlightenment.
This kind of enlightenment characteristic allows him to enter the state of enlightenment more easily.
And in the state of enlightenment, the effect of his practice can be improved thousands of times.
"The reason why my Yuanshen Guanyin has the characteristic of sudden enlightenment is probably related to the Chen Bell. The sound of the Chen Bell can put me into a state similar to sudden enlightenment for a certain period of time."
Li Qian thought to himself.
This is the only explanation.
At this moment, Li Qian was in a state of enlightenment.
As for how long this state can last, no one knows.
But Li Qian knew that the opportunity could not be missed.
It would be a pity once it is wasted.
So Li Qian moved his mind, and the power of the Chen Zhong field emerged around him, forming an invisible membrane that separated the inside and the outside. In this way, he would not be disturbed when he was practicing enlightenment.
So, he began to concentrate on comprehending the sword intent.
His cultivation is almost reaching the middle stage of Martial Saint.
Only the sword intent is still lacking.
Therefore, he focused on comprehending the sword intent of all things.
In this way, time passed day by day.
The bell outside rang again and again.
Li Bozhi hadn't seen his great-grandfather come out of the bell tower for many days.
However, he did not bother.
Ring the bell at a fixed time every day, and then practice the Immaculate Sword Body.
day to day.
He gritted his teeth and persisted, determined to master the Immaculate Sword Body.
Because he has no way out.
There is only one way to go to the end.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
Several disciples came back one after another, but did not see their master. After hearing Li Bozhi say that their master was meditating in seclusion in the bell tower, they did not disturb him.
On this day, there was finally movement in the bell tower.
call!
Li Qian opened his eyes, and that strange state of enlightenment had disappeared.
He looked at the number of times the Chen Bell had been refined on the system interface and found that it had increased by thirty-nine days.
In other words, his state of enlightenment lasted for thirty-nine days.
In this state of enlightenment, he could not feel the flow of time at all.
"Wait, my Wanxiang Sword Intention has already reached the fifth level?"
Suddenly, Li Qian was stunned.
Because he remembered that before his sudden enlightenment, his progress to the fourth level of the All-Seeing Sword Intent was only forty-seven points.
But now it has become 3/100 of the fifth level of Wanxiang Sword Intent.
"Isn't the efficiency of this epiphany too high?"
Li Qian muttered to himself.
In just over a month, he had pushed his level from the fourth to the fifth level of Wanxiang Sword Intent, and even reached 3 points on the fifth level.
Suddenly, he looked at the curled up white fox not far away.
The white fox, as his incarnation, also enjoyed the state of enlightenment for more than a month like him.
At this moment, it has broken through to the realm of upper celestial demon.
This white fox became his incarnation, the fox puppet, in just twenty-six years, but it successively transcended from a small demon to a big demon, and finally reached the realm of a celestial demon.
It is equivalent to a human being going from being a beginner warrior to reaching the upper celestial level in just twenty-six years.
How long did it take Li Qian to go from being an innate being to an upper celestial being?
Over thirty years.
You know, he can experience the bell effect of Chen Bell 100%.
However, only one bell sound is effective for the fox puppet.
I have to say that the lightless level talent is really terrifying.
"It seems that I can prepare to break through to the Great Sage."
A smile appeared on Li Qian's face.
He originally thought that it would take several more years to reach the realm of the Great Sage.
But he didn't expect that a sudden enlightenment would allow his Wanxiang Sword Intent to naturally break through to the fifth level.
Now his progress in the initial stage of Martial Saint has reached 98. In two months at most, he will be able to reach 99.
In other words, as long as he improves his cultivation to the middle stage of Martial Saint, he will easily achieve the realm of Great Saint.
