Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209: Chapter 161: Master, I Have Become a Heavenly Person (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In the past two days, Master Zhou Buping, who had been absent from Chen Bell Platform, suddenly returned from outside. Upon seeing Li Qian, he was overjoyed.

Li Qian’s extended period of seclusion for cultivation had been a bit worrisome for him.

"Li Qian, have you broken through in Sword Intent?"

He eagerly asked.

"Yes, I’ve broken through."

Li Qian nodded.

"Excellent, it seems that my Divine Sword Sect will soon witness the birth of another Heavenly Person."

Zhou Buping smiled broadly upon hearing this.

Li Qian was nearly sixty years old now.

A sixty-year-old Heavenly Person would be considered quite young.

After all, several Heavenly Persons of the Divine Sword Sect, other than Elder Qing Song who was in his seventies and Heavenly Person Xiao who was in his eighties, all had their breakthroughs close to a hundred years old.

"Master, I have already ascended to Heavenly Person."

Li Qian spoke with a smile.

As he spoke, his body began to float upwards.

It’s not like he could break through a second time.

It would be better to directly acknowledge his ascension to Heavenly Person.

"Your cultivation has also broken through?"

Zhou Buping was very happy, "But wait, when the previous Heavenly Persons had their breakthroughs there were signs, how come there was no indication when you did?"

However, Li Qian’s ability to levitate and fly was the hallmark of a Heavenly Person.

"Master, I set up a simple array to seal off my aura, that’s why there was no disturbance."

Li Qian explained with a smile.

"An array can have such an effect?"

Zhou Buping was incredibly surprised.

The disciples Bai Yun and Chai Shao, standing beside them, were also thrilled to see their master floating and flying.

After all, who wouldn’t take pride in having a Heavenly Person as a master?

"I’ll head to the Inner Sect immediately to inform the Sect Leader about your breakthrough to Heavenly Person."

Zhou Buping hurriedly headed down the mountain.

"Master, there’s no need to rush..."

Li Qian, seeing his master full of excitement, quickly said.

"Why wouldn’t I rush? Now that you’ve become a Heavenly Person, I’d like to see who would dare oppose your claim to the position of Supreme Elder?"

Zhou Buping waved his hand and spoke.

All these years, his disciple had remained an Inner Sect Disciple and wasn’t even an elder; how could he not be anxious?

Now that he had become a Heavenly Person, the status of Supreme Elder was surely within reach.

Watching his master leave, Li Qian touched his nose and simply let it be.

If his master was happy, there was no need to dampen his spirits.

....

Inner Sect.

Divine Sword Hall.

"Elder Zhou, may I know what brings you here?"

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu welcomed Zhou Buping with a smile.

He was also nearly a hundred and ten years old, with more white hairs now.

His cultivation was at the level of a Top Grandmaster, but he was still slightly short of breaking through to Heavenly Person.

He clearly felt signs of aging in his body.

Without ascending to Heavenly Person, grandmasters of this age would all start to show such signs.

Hence, he didn’t have much time left.

"Sect Leader, Li Qian has become a Heavenly Person."

Zhou Buping didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Huh..."

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu was taken aback at first, then quickly grasped the gravity of the news, "What? Li Qian has become a Heavenly Person?"

Li Qian was only around sixty years old, right?

Initially a servant disciple, he was taken in by Zhou Buping and has since climbed his way up against all odds, becoming a Divine Sword Matcher.

Many elders within the Inner Sect suspected that the reason Li Qian was assessed to have poor Root Bone during the Inner Sect’s examination was likely due to Hidden Bone.

But even with decent talent, how could he possibly ascend to Heavenly Person so quickly?

His peer, Nangong Bei, who was more outstanding, is now an elder with real authority due to lack of vacancies for Peak Masters or Sword Masters, despite being the right age.

Yet, he is only an Intermediate Grandmaster.

As for Chang Xiaoyao, who still had five years at Dragon Guard Temple, he is also at the level of an Intermediate Grandmaster.

Ji Ming, initially not lacking in Root Bone talent but having sustained severe injuries, although he recovered his Lifebound Essence Qi using Life Gathering Pill, was still somewhat affected and slightly behind, now only an Intermediate Grandmaster.

"Yes, he has been in seclusion for half a year, right? After coming out, he has ascended to being a Heavenly Person."

Zhou Buping, seeing the Sect Leader’s shocked face, felt extremely gratified.

He believed that many of the Inner Sect’s powerful elders and Peak Masters would be just as shocked.

Moreover, with Li Qian becoming a Heavenly Person, wouldn’t the Wuxin lineage naturally establish the eighth peak within the Inner Sect following logical progression?

"Elder Zhou, I will notify the Supreme Elders immediately." _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu hastily said.

He knew that Elder Zhou would not make such a claim without good reason.

The emergence of a new Heavenly Person, especially such a young one, meant his future achievements would indeed be boundless.

So far, among the Heavenly Persons of the Divine Sword Sect, not one Supreme Elder had reached the level of an Intermediate Heavenly Person.

Even Heavenly Person Hou, who had been a Heavenly Person for twenty-two years, was still at the same level, probably because he used Heavenly Celestial Pill to achieve his breakthrough.

The most likely to progress was Elder Qing Song.

After all, Elder Qing Song had become a Heavenly Person before he was eighty years old.

....

Except for Elder Cang Yun who was stationed at the barracks of the Divine Sword Legion, the other four Heavenly Persons gathered at Chen Bell Platform.

Upon sensing the aura emitted by Li Qian, they held no further doubts.

In truth, they had never doubted from the beginning.

This Li Qian was a disciple favored by that august ancestor, wasn’t it normal for him to achieve Heavenly Person?

"Li Qian, now that you have become a Heavenly Person, according to the decision passed down by our ancestor before his transcendence, a Heavenly Person can assume the role of a Supreme Elder. Do you have any requests?"

Supreme Elder Hou Shuwen asked.

"Elder Hou, I hope the sect can allocate the mountain where Chen Bell Platform is located to my Wuxin lineage."
