Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Chapter 192: Divine Firmament Nine Swords (Request for Monthly Ticket)

Li Qian left the Stepping Cloud Mountain Range with extreme caution. Instead of returning directly to the Divine Sword Sect, he took a long detour to prevent the people from Dao Sect from secretly tracking him.

Although he chose to cooperate with Dao Sect, this did not mean that he would completely trust them.

While cooperating, maintaining his independence and not becoming a subordinate or a tool of Dao Sect... that was the premise of his actions.

Therefore, keeping his identity mysterious and his movements hidden was crucial.

Only if he one day becomes a Great Saint, or even a Supreme Saint, would he no longer need to worry.

For now... there are still threats to his existence.

When it comes to personal safety, being extremely cautious is never too much.

There had almost been a major issue before.

By the time he returned to the Chen Bell Platform, it was already deep into the night.

Li Qian sat cross-legged atop the bell tower, took out the Jade Scroll under the cover of night, and began to examine its contents.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, showing a smile on his face.

True to a Great Saint, a grand gesture indeed.

The swordsmanship recorded in this Jade Scroll is called Divine Firmament Nine Swords, which, however, is incomplete.

Only the first four swords are available.

The last five swords are missing.

But these first four swords have already deeply shocked Li Qian.

Because this Divine Firmament Sword Skill requires the cultivation of Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent, meaning only those who are at the level of a Myriad Phenomena Martial Saint can practice it.

A Martial Saint can practice the first sword, a Great Saint the second sword, a Supreme Saint the third sword... and the required cultivation level for the fourth sword goes without saying.

Back when Li Qian was still a Great Grandmaster, just mastering True Image Level Sword Intent allowed him to practice Great River Sword Qi... and now, this Divine Firmament Sword Skill strictly requires Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent to practice.

One can imagine, this Divine Firmament Sword Skill is much more high-end than the Great River Sword Qi.

And this is only the first four swords.

How powerful the latter five swords must be, Li Qian doesn’t dare to imagine.

Li Qian didn’t expect Ling Long Great Saint to directly give him such high-level swordsmanship.

Now being in the Great Saint Realm, he can directly practice the Divine Firmament Second Sword.

According to the description of the Divine Firmament Sword Skill, once this sword technique is mastered, fighting across levels becomes effortless.

Most importantly, each sword in the Divine Firmament Sword Skill, once perfected, can derive a very special Sword Dao mystery.

Moreover, the Sword Dao mysteries mastered can be integrated into the subsequent swords.

"It seems, I also have to practice this Divine Firmament First Sword."

Li Qian stroked his chin.

After all, each sword, once perfected, could derive Sword Dao mysteries, which relates to the power of the subsequent swords.

Thinking this, Li Qian hastily began practicing the Divine Firmament First Sword.

The entry to this Divine Firmament Sword Skill requires visualizing a stream of Sword Qi.

When he picked up the Jade Scroll and his Spiritual Sense immersed into it.

Boom!

He saw a slash that seemed to break open the heavens and earth, tearing through chaos. This Sword Qi began to evolve, incredibly mysterious.

The first sword, the second sword...

When he saw the third sword, he suddenly felt his Spiritual Sense shudder as if it was wounded by that terrifying Sword Qi.

No wonder without the required cultivation realm, one simply can’t comprehend the third sword.

Li Qian took a deep breath, bearing the trembling and pain in his Spiritual Sense, while the continuous bell sounds in his mind protected his Primordial Spirit consciousness.

In such extreme discomfort, Li Qian painfully finished observing the third sword.

When the Sword Qi evolved to the fourth sword, Li Qian just felt darkness before his eyes as his Spiritual Sense abruptly detached from the Jade Scroll.

He gasped for air heavily, sweat covering his body like syrup.

At this moment, his thought consciousness seemed to enter a void. What he had just seen, he couldn’t remember at all.

He had some impressions of the first three swords.

"This fourth sword definitely does not belong to mortal swordsmanship..."

Li Qian murmured to himself.

That means, only by reaching the legendary Longevity Secret Realm, perhaps could he observe this fourth sword.

In the following days, Li Qian spent a lot of time each day observing the first three swords of the Divine Firmament Sword Skill in the Jade Scroll.

Each time he reached the fourth sword, he would have the same reaction, seeing nothing, his mind a complete blank.

However, the memories of the first three swords became increasingly profound.

Thus, he completed the initiation of the Divine Firmament First Sword in just two days.

Five days later, he initiated the Divine Firmament Second Sword.

More than a month later, he initiated the Divine Firmament Third Sword.

Compared to the first two swords, the difficulty of initiating the Divine Firmament Third Sword was much greater.

Mainly because his Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent level was not enough, every time he visualized the Divine Firmament Third Sword, he could hardly succeed, retaining only a slight impression.

It took him more than a month of daily learning with his Spiritual Sense to observe the Sword Qi evolution in the Jade Scroll and barely initiate it.

Nonetheless, the power of this third sword was absolutely terrifying.

Merely initiating it, he already felt the extraordinariness of this sword.

These three swords of Divine Firmament, one more terrifying than the last.

If it weren’t for each sword containing a type of Sword Dao mystery, he would have abandoned the first two swords and directly practiced the third.

Months passed.

Li Qian, aside from his regular bell-ringing cultivation, invested a lot of time in arrays and Divine Firmament Sword Skill.

His cultivation life became busier.

One day, he completed a session of practicing the Divine Firmament Three Swords, feeling incredibly exhausted.

It must be said, the Divine Firmament Three Swords massively drained his spirit.

Fortunately, he practiced the Eight Prisons Yama Refining God Skill, and his Primordial Spirit was strong enough; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to endure such intense cultivation now.

Sigh!

Li Qian let out a breath, then summoned the system interface to check the latest information.
