Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Chapter 168: The Demon Calamity Reappears (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

After celebrating his father Li Donglin’s hundredth birthday, Li Qian didn’t stay long and returned to Chen Bell Platform.

All three disciples were cultivating, while Little Snowball sat obediently on a small stool, resting her chin in her hands and watching quietly.

After nearly twelve years of training, the three disciples had progressed from achieving Perfection in Sword Stabbing Fist to achieving Perfection in Acquired skills, and have been cultivating the Pure Sword Body for several years now... Due to their Root Bone talents, their speed outpaced Chai Shao’s considerably.

Especially the youngest, Yang Fan, who possessed High Grade Treasure Light Level Root Bone talent, which allowed him to cultivate faster than the other two disciples, Su Xinlan and Xu Long.

Because of their unique experiences, the three disciples were quite mature for their age, demonstrating remarkable diligence and endurance.

The third disciple, Su Xinlan, proved to be very sensible, possessing a leader-like trait, taking initiative without needing Li Qian’s instructions.

The fourth disciple, Xu Long, was honest and straightforward, with a somewhat wise and simple demeanor.

As for the fifth disciple, Yang Fan, his aloof and introverted personality carried a streak of stubborn determination.

Li Qian felt assured about Su Xinlan and Xu Long, but was a bit concerned whether Yang Fan might stray from the right path in the future.

"Grandmaster,"

Upon seeing Li Qian return, Little Snowball hurriedly ran over on her little legs.

Li Qian held Little Snowball’s hand and took out a package of pastries bought from Baibi City, "Here, Little Snowball, Grandmaster bought you some delicious treats."

Little Snowball eagerly accepted a pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Delicious...."

She ate with great enjoyment.

At this moment, Chai Shao also came up from the mountain.

He was now a Great Grandmaster, and during high-level meetings at the Divine Sword Sect, he represented Wuxin Peak.

"Papa."

Little Snowball immediately ran over, stuffing a pastry into Chai Shao’s hand, "Grandmaster bought this, it’s so delicious..."

"Little Snowball is so good."

Chai Shao picked up Little Snowball and ate the pastry his daughter offered him, "Hmm, delicious..."

Little Snowball squinted happily.

"Master, I just attended a meeting at the Divine Sword Hall. It was said that a demon disaster happened at Sea Martial Arts...."

Chai Shao spoke as soon as he saw his master had returned.

Ten years ago, apart from sporadic demon traces, almost no demon disasters occurred, and various Dao Mansions communicated to internal forces that demon disasters had been essentially cleared.

So in recent years, the demon disaster quarantine zones around Huilong Mountain Divine Sword Sect had been lifted, and many migratory people returned home.

"Demon disaster?"

Li Qian was quite surprised.

Were these demon races that stubborn?

After being cleared out, were they still coming to deliver themselves?

Normally, upon realizing a Martial Saint had emerged in the Human World, demon forces would abandon plans to infiltrate the Human World.

Considering one loss per demon they sent, those Demon Saints’ Myriad Phenomena Demon Thoughts would be lost in vain, was it worth it?

Unless the demon race had found a way to counter?

Without a necessary reason, he surely wouldn’t make a stand again.

After all, with so many Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials in the Human World, coming together forms an extremely formidable force.

Even if a few demon disasters broke out in the Human Realm.... they couldn’t make any significant waves.

....

Sea Martial Arts.

This region bordered the sea, and was the only area Dacang bordered the ocean.

However, the ocean was vast and perilous, and the waves were towering; any ship could be overturned.

Apart from trade routes established near the coast with the coastal countries, Great Lu and Great Song, nothing was known about what lay beyond the deep sea.

Sea Martial Arts had a powerful martial arts faction, known as the Mountain and Sea Palace.

It was once one of the three major factions of Dacang.

Now, the Dao Master of Sea Martial Arts Mansion was a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial from Mountain and Sea Palace.

Sea State, Coastal County.

This county bordered the sea, most famous for the Hengqin Islands, which occupy over half of the county’s area, with over a thousand islands of varying sizes.

Qinxin Island was the largest island in the Hengqin Islands, facing the mainland across a narrow strait only a few miles wide.

Due to Qinxin Island’s special location, besides the county capital, the second most important city was located on this island.

It was called Qinxin City.

However, Qinxin City was currently shrouded in mist.

A demon disaster was unfolding here.

At this time, Heavenly Phenomenon Level Dao Full Mansion leaders from several surrounding regions had gathered here.

With demon disasters almost quelled, the role of Dao Mansions had become very minor.

After so many years of development, Dao Mansion forces had essentially become locally rooted.

"It’s been twelve years since that mysterious Martial Saint eradicated demon forces from the Human World, and there’s been no demon disaster since...."

A Heavenly Phenomenon Level Dao Mansion leader from Yang Martial Arts pondered aloud, "So now with another demon disaster, what do you think the demon race is up to?"

"Amitabha, don’t you find this demon disaster particularly strange? Since it began, apart from Qinxin City being shrouded by the formation, there’s been no sign of any demonic creatures..."

A Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial from Dharma Temple spoke solemnly.

Although Dharma Temple originated from the external Buddhist faction, its presence in the Dao Sect-controlled Sheep Horn Domain had its reasons.

In fact, within the Sheep Horn Domain, it wasn’t just the Dao Sect force; other forces from Wu Alliance also had signs of influence.

Embedding their forces in other domains was a routine for Wu Alliance, mainly for mutual oversight.

.....

Lion Camel Demon City.

In the past decade or so, Li Qian visited here every night to research the Great Array.

Array bases were located by him one by one, small arrays were deciphered one after another... his progress in arrays had improved considerably.

"Whew! The Great Array here is almost completely deciphered."

Li Qian let out a breath of relief.

The main issue was that the Great Array of Lion Camel Demon City was incomplete, if it were complete... with his current array formation skills, thoroughly deciphering it was virtually impossible.

Even now, he couldn’t fully restore the entire Nine Bases Formation.

The entire array involved over seven hundred Solid Array Piles, incredibly intricate.

Even though he knew the position of every array base, and even the construction of every array pattern on each base, he couldn’t design and arrange the complete Great Array.

The complexity of the array operations was overwhelming.

Nevertheless, learning about arrays in Lion Camel Demon City had been extraordinarily rewarding.

He now had a rough concept of arranging a brand-new array system at the Divine Sword Sect.

For now, he could only assemble a small Six-Base Sub-Array.

According to his design, the entire small Six-Base Sub-Array would consist of thirty-six Solid Array Piles and six Main Array Plates.

Creating these Solid Array Piles and Main Array Plates wasn’t a minor project.

However, he had ample time to produce them.

Moreover, fabricating Solid Array Piles and Main Array Plates greatly boosted his array formation skills.

The array patterns on the Solid Array Piles he designed were vastly different from the Lion Camel Ridge Solution and Taishan Formation Record.

He utilized a design concept from electrical circuit chips on his past life’s Earth.

This implementation made it unique, comprising a brand-new array system, though the core still remained within the two major array systems.

He named this array system the Qian Tian Array Codex.

He believed that as he continued to delve into the study of arrays, this Qian Tian Array Codex would surely become more refined, eventually rivaling and perhaps even surpassing the Lion Camel Ridge Ten Directions Formation Solution and Taishan Formation Record....

"It’s time to leave."

Li Qian thought to himself.

The array value in Lion Camel Demon City was essentially all uncovered.

Suddenly, his thoughts shifted, he checked the array section on his system interface, it had already turned into Array (Great Success 93/100).

Thus, he flew out of Lion Camel Demon City, accompanied by rumbling sounds, as all Solid Array Piles and Array Plates hidden in the Demon City were ripped apart and destroyed by True Qi.

Finally, the Great Array of Lion Camel Ridge ceased to exist, the originally pervasive fog gradually dispersed, revealing the true appearance of the Huilong Mountain Range.
