Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Taiping Sacred Cave

"Master, even if the Martial Emperor passes away, shouldn’t the Imperial Family have a new Martial Emperor to succeed the throne?"

Li Qian asked.

"Certainly, there will be one, but... none will have the deterrent power of this old Martial Emperor."

Zhou Buping shook his head and said, "This Martial Emperor, hailed as the one closest to the Martial Saint in all of Dachang, is said to have grasped the Heavenly Phenomenon Level Martial Intent. His life can truly be described as legendary. He grasped Martial Intent at eleven, stepped into the Innate Realm at thirteen, achieved the status of Heavenly Person at thirty-five, and took on the position of Martial Emperor at fifty-seven. It’s said that he has killed at least twenty Heavenly Persons, including some of the top ones."

Upon hearing this, Li Qian couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air.

This is truly a peerless prodigy.

He himself was already twenty-nine years old, and even with the help of the Sacrificial Artifact System, it seemed unlikely to reach the status of Heavenly Person by the age of thirty-five with his current pace.

Unless he could obtain a demon stone and continue to elevate his Pure Holy Body, the speed of his cultivation progression would definitely quicken a lot.

Of course, it’s not that his system isn’t strong enough, but that he started training too late and wasted more than two years as a servant disciple.

He also didn’t have the superior cultivation conditions like the Martial Emperor.

Moreover... what’s the use of cultivating quickly when ultimately, one is still stuck at the Heavenly Person stage, unable to break through to the Martial Saint Realm.

But he was different.

As long as the Chen Bell was intact, his lifespan would be limitless.

Becoming a Heavenly Person, and even a Martial Saint, was just a matter of time for him.

"With this Martial Emperor’s passing, Dachang which was already unstable, I fear it will become even more complicated and chaotic."

Li Qian felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

In this great turmoil, if the Divine Sword Sect gets involved, could he remain unaffected?

After all, his cultivation at the Chen Bell Platform in tranquility was predicated on the stability of the Divine Sword Sect.

"Li Qian, in facing this situation, you also need to be psychologically prepared. Once there is a major change in Yuking, our Divine Sword Sect will inevitably be implicated, and then it won’t be so stable."

Zhou Buping reminded him.

"Master, I understand."

Li Qian nodded.

He knew what his master meant.

"Of course, you don’t need to be too nervous. If the Imperial Family can smoothly get through this Martial Emperor succession crisis, there won’t be much of a problem for a short time."

Zhou Buping added.

However, he said these words with somewhat lacking confidence.

....

Late at night.

Li Qian sat cross-legged, communicating with Sword Eighteen using the Heartless Sword Intent.

After a long while, he took a deep breath.

This improvement in Sword Intent was indeed a process of accumulating little by little, much harder than improving cultivation.

This was still with the aid of the Chen Bell’s bell sounds and the assistance of Sword Eighteen in his cultivation. Without them, he couldn’t imagine how difficult comprehending Sword Intent would be.

Of course, such speculation was pointless.

Without the system, he might still be just a servant disciple, at most reaching the Martial Arts Entrance.

"The attention of various forces should be focused on Yuking now, perhaps... I should also go and unearth the treasures of the Taiping Sect."

Li Qian’s eyes flickered with sharpness.

Originally, he wanted to wait a bit longer, ideally until his cultivation reached the True Pill Realm, or even better, achieving Heavenly Person status.

But time waits for no one.

The external situation could change at any moment, with a storm approaching.

Though it might not affect him for the moment.

But if a big wave does come, it might be too late.

How can he protect himself if he’s not a Heavenly Person?

So, he felt it was necessary to take a little risk and go excavate the treasures of the Taiping Sect.

....

A few days later.

Late night.

Li Qian quietly left the Divine Sword Sect wearing a black cloak.
