Chapter 196 Return to the Void
Chapter 196 Return to the Void (asking for monthly ticket)
Elder Qingsong convened a Supreme Council in the name of the ancestor and required that the content of the meeting be kept strictly confidential. After the meeting, the Divine Sword Sect began intensive deployment and preparations.
The preparatory work of Shenjianmen was mainly divided into several aspects. The first was to develop a large tract of land between Linjian City and Shenjianmen, build a new city, and open up a large number of spiritual fields, plantations and farms.
The second is to spend a lot of money and Dan tickets to buy various scarce materials in various places.
The third is to increase the efforts to recruit new members and allow formal disciples to move their families to Linjian City or the new city.
Fourth, establish and improve secret intelligence agencies to deal with the upcoming disasters caused by demons.
Fifth, they began to quietly gather their forces and establish secret underground barriers in various places.
In fact, other celestial-level forces with information channels also began to prepare in secret.
Only the local forces know nothing about it.
In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.
In the past two years, Dachang has been very peaceful and no bad news has been heard.
Some supreme elders of the Divine Sword Sect doubted whether this so-called disaster caused by demons would ever happen.
After all, the price paid by the Divine Sword Sect for mobilizing such a large force was too high.
It was also during these two years that Li Qian basically completed the layout of the entire formation.
The large formation arranged at the Divine Sword Gate belongs to the Eight-Base Formation. It is very large in scale, covering an area of dozens of kilometers in radius and consuming a large amount of formation resources.
For such a large formation, the demand for spiritual energy is naturally terrifying.
Fortunately, the concentration of spiritual energy in the human world is very high now, which can meet the needs of the operation of the formation.
In order to build the solid formation stakes, Li Qian has spent a lot of energy in the past two years.
After testing, the entire formation was perfect.
It can be said that this formation is the culmination of his formation techniques.
After he arranged the formation, the Qianyuan Formation he created finally completed the eighth level and successfully advanced to the ninth level.
In the past two years, all of Li Qian's disciples have returned to Chenzhongtai.
Li Qian mobilized a large amount of cultivation resources and asked them to practice hard in seclusion in order to deal with the upcoming disaster of demons and increase their chances of survival.
Moreover, Li Qian also donated some unused cultivation resources to Tai Shang Tang in the name of the ancestor.
In the past few years, he killed a large number of demon saints and great saints from the demon clan and obtained a lot of cultivation resources. It would be a complete waste if they were kept in storage devices.
On this day, Chai Shao and others came back from the inner gate after attending a meeting at the Supreme Hall, and they all looked unhappy.
"Master, Dao Zong has notified all the major forces in Dachang to prepare for the demon disaster."
Chai Shao quickly told the content of the meeting.
"Oh, does Dao Zong have any way to deal with it?"
Li Qian asked.
"No, just let the major forces deal with it on their own."
Chai Shao shook his head.
"It seems that the Wumeng is preparing for a protracted war."
Li Qian said in a deep voice.
In other words, the Wumeng is already unable to take care of itself.
The demons have joined forces, and the pressure they have put on the Martial Alliance is too great.
The demon clan is actually okay, the main problem is that once the demon disaster gets out of control, a large number of demon puppets will spread like a virus and it will be difficult to control.
"By doing this, the demon race is probably courting disaster."
Li Qian thought to himself.
Although the fox demon still has the consciousness of a former fox demon, he has become a demon after all. How can he be judged by his former fox demon thinking?
The demon clan clearly knew the huge risks, but still chose to cooperate with the fox demon. This made Li Qian a little confused.
Back in the underground palace, Li Qian sat down cross-legged and began to practice the Eight Hells Yama Soul Refining Method.
After a long time, Li Qian opened his eyes, revealing a strange light.
"Is this a state of enlightenment again?"
Li Qian muttered to himself.
His current condition at this moment is exactly the same as his last state of enlightenment.
The whole person seemed to become extremely calm all of a sudden.
He checked the system interface and saw the word "enlightenment" behind "Yuan Shen Guan" flashing again.
The last epiphany lasted thirty-eight days.
I don’t know how long this will last.
Li Qian was happy.
The human world is about to fall into a catastrophe of demons and monsters. His current strength is indeed not enough, and he must improve his strength as soon as possible.
So he devoted himself to comprehending the sword intent.
In the state of sudden enlightenment, comprehending the sword intent is most effective.
Time passed day by day.
Li Qian's disciples suddenly discovered that their master had not come out for a long time.
However, they did not take it too seriously, guessing that the master was probably practicing in seclusion.
And so, more than a month passed.
Li Qiancai came out of his state of enlightenment.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and found that he was not in the underground palace.
"Wait, where am I?"
Li Qian looked around, but saw a strange land of yellow sand.
Endless as far as the eye can see.
There is no edge in sight.
Li Qian walked on the yellow sand and found that his feet could sink into the sand.
He lowered his head and scooped up a handful of sand with both hands.
As a gap appeared between the two hands, fine sand flowed down.
He looked up at the sky and saw a huge sun hanging in the sky, scorching hot.
Li Qian felt a little dizzy due to being exposed to the sun.
Moreover, breathing air into the lungs makes one feel suffocated.
He walked step by step with difficulty, looking around, but there was nothing but yellow sand, without any other colors or things.
"What the hell, wasn't I having an epiphany? How did I get in here? Was this an illusion?"
Li Qian murmured to himself.
Suddenly, he had an idea and summoned the system interface to check the latest information.
Martial Saint Realm (mid-term 55/100).
View of the Primordial Spirit (42/100) [Enlightenment].
Chen Zhong (Ling 30664/100000).
The Third Sword of Shenxiao (Minor Success 23/100).
Heartless Sword Intention (Seventh Level of Wanxiang 4/100).
Sanctuary of Qi and Blood (Binary State 73/100).
Qianyuan Formation Classic (Nine Bases 3/100).
Fox Puppet (.)
Li Qian was extremely surprised. If this was a dream, he could actually check the information on the system interface.
But if it were true, I would have clearly been enlightened and practicing in the underground palace.
Moreover, his mindless sword power has reached the seventh level of Wanxiang.
Before the sudden realization, the progress was still at level 58, level .
In other words, this sudden realization allowed him to directly enter the seventh level, and even reached a progress of 4 points.
It has to be said that the speed at which he comprehended the sword intent after sudden enlightenment was truly astonishing.
Under normal circumstances, it will take at least several years to achieve such an effect.
"what is happening?"
Li Qian frowned slightly.
He felt the strength in his body. It was completely gone.
It's as if I have become an ordinary person.
His Wanxiang Sword Intent seemed to be gone. If it weren't for the information still on the panel, he would have doubted whether all his previous experiences were just dreams.
Is the present self the real one?
"Wait, how could this happen?"
Suddenly, Li Qian's attention fell on the system panel again.
The information on the entire system panel suddenly turned gray, as if it was blocked.
Only behind the column of Yuanshenguan, another status appeared.
View of the Primordial Spirit (42/100) [Enlightenment] [Return to the Void].
At this moment, the two words "Return to Void" are flashing.
Other information is greyed out.
"My soul has entered a second state?"
Li Qian muttered to himself.
He tried to concentrate on the state of returning to the void, but there was no response.
Perhaps it has something to do with his current state, and he is unable to obtain information about his Return to Void state.
He didn't know how long he would last in this state.
He let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Under the scorching sun and without food, he now felt exhausted.
He could only walk on aimlessly.
"If I die in this state of returning to the void, I wonder if anything will happen to me?"
Li Qian thought to himself.
After walking for another half a day, he still didn't see any other scenery.
Everywhere I went, there was yellow sand.
He felt that he could hardly open his eyes, his lips were cracked, and he was thirsty and hungry. As he walked, he suddenly fell down.
The scalding yellow sand gradually made his consciousness sink into darkness.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Li Qian suddenly opened his eyes.
He has returned to the familiar underground palace.
“Is death the end of returning to the void?”
Li Qian muttered to himself.
But he summoned up the system interface again to check it out, and found nothing else except that the word "Fanxu" after Yuanshenguan was no longer flashing.
"What is the use of this state of returning to the void?"
Li Qian's heart moved and he focused his attention on the two words "return to emptiness".
This time there was a reaction.
"The Return to Void state allows a person to ascend to a higher dimension within a certain period of time and enter a higher level world. If a person dies in the Return to Void state, although he or she will not truly die, he or she will not be able to bring back anything that does not belong to you, so do everything possible to return to the Return to Void state alive."
Li Qian received the information about returning to the void, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
He didn't expect that the state of returning to the void that he entered would actually allow him to upgrade his dimension and enter a higher world?
This is outrageous.
No wonder in that yellow sand world, he, a high-level great sage who had comprehended the seventh level of all things, died there like an ordinary person.
"If I come back alive in the Return to Void state, can I gain some unexpected benefits?"
Li Qian touched his chin.
The reason why there was no benefit at all this time was because he died in the yellow sand world in less than half a day.
As for how to leave the yellow sand world alive and return to reality, he doesn't know for the time being.
call!
He didn't think any more about it, let out a long breath, looked at the time again, and couldn't help but be surprised.
He remembered that his entire enlightenment lasted for forty-three days, a few days longer than the last time.
But more than four months had passed in his state of returning to the void.
"How can this be?"
Li Qian showed an expression of disbelief on his face.
After all, he was in the state of returning to the void, walking in the yellow sand for no more than half a day. His consciousness was very clear and it was impossible for him to make a wrong judgment.
Moreover, the system panel will be gray and the time will not increase.
But now that the system panel has returned to normal, the refining time of Chen Zhong has suddenly increased by more than four months.
There is no way there will be any problem with the timing of Chen Zhong's refining.
In other words, although it seemed that only half a day had passed in his yellow sand land, in reality more than four months had passed.
"It seems that there is a huge difference in the speed of time flow between the higher-dimensional world and the real world."
Li Qian's heart moved.
He remembered the myths and legends from his previous life, about how one day in heaven was equal to one year on earth.
This time he entered the Yellow Sand World in the Return to Void state. Only half a day passed in that world, but more than five months passed in reality. Isn't this a typical case of half a day in the high-dimensional world and half a year in the real world?
"I don't know how to enter the state of returning to the void?"
Li Qian thought to himself.
If it takes a long time to enter a state like enlightenment, that would be really fucked up.
After all, every time you enter the state of enlightenment, there are real benefits.
You can return to the void state, but if the method is wrong, you will not get any benefit and will waste a lot of time.
This time, more than four months were wasted.
Li Qian shook his head, then stood up and left the underground palace.
It took half a year in total for the enlightenment and the return to emptiness.
When he walked out of the bell tower, the third disciple Su Xinlan hurriedly came to greet him, "Master, you finally came out."
"The demonic disaster broke out?"
Li Qian nodded, and with a movement of his spiritual consciousness, he sensed the situation inside the entire Divine Sword Sect.
"Master, as early as three months ago, there were signs of a demonic disaster. Now the outside world is in chaos. If it weren't for the formation you set up, our Divine Sword Sect wouldn't be so peaceful now."
Su Xinlan said quickly.
Now the entire Divine Sword Sect's formation has been activated.
When Li Qian was setting up the formation, he used a simple activation method to prevent the Divine Sword Sect from activating the formation immediately when he was not around.
There are some formal formation masters in the Formation Valley.
Moreover, his young disciple Lin Qi's formation level had already surpassed those formation masters in the Formation Valley, so there was no problem in activating the entire formation.
"Tell me what's going on outside now?"
Li Qian asked.
Su Xinlan quickly recounted in detail what had happened in the past few months.
Although Changguo had not yet completely collapsed, a large number of demonic disasters appeared, affecting one town after another.
Many martial arts forces suffered heavy losses in the battles with the demon tribe.
Especially the original local martial arts, which suffered the most serious losses.
Now, within the Divine Sword Sect's territory, most of the towns have gone out of control, and the government, the demon cult, the martial arts forces, and even the demon puppets are in chaos.
However, the Divine Sword Sect had made adequate preparations in advance and reduced its forces, so the losses were not great.
Of course, there were also some disciples who could not bear to see the miserable situation outside and took the initiative to go out to slay demons and eliminate evil.
Anyway, the strategy of the Divine Sword Sect's top management is to allow disciples to go out and slay demons, but it is absolutely not mandatory.
Li Qian left the Chenzhongtai and walked around the Shenjian Gate, checking the operation of the solid formation piles, adjusting a few minor problems, and then returned to the Chenzhongtai to continue practicing.
In this way, another half a year passed.
It's very chaotic outside, but the Divine Sword Sect is still relatively stable.
Chenzhong Tower is even quieter, with bells ringing every day.
On this day, Li Qian was practicing in the underground palace again.
He had just finished refining his spirit when he suddenly felt dazed and unexpectedly appeared in the yellow sand world again.
"Have I entered the state of returning to the void again and ascended to a higher level world?"
Li Qian was extremely surprised.
It has only been half a year since the last time, and this frequency is much higher than the state of enlightenment.
This time, he must study the state of returning to the void carefully.
PS: Please give me a monthly ticket!!!
