Inner Sect, an Inner Sect Disciple stuck at the Ninth Layer of the Acquired stage, unable to break through, suddenly experienced a stroke of spiritual fortune. He felt the True Qi within his body oscillating; the Heavenly Gate flung open, and for the first time, he reached the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
"Is this, this the Innate?"
Atop the Chen Bell Platform.
While practicing Sword Stabbing Fist, two young boys and girls suddenly felt a great shock in their hearts as if something had broken out of a shell. Their spirits entered a special state; their somewhat rigid movements suddenly gained a hint of elegance.
Liu Ming saw this scene and was quite surprised.
How did, all of a sudden, the two’s Sword Stabbing Fist advance from beginner to expert?
This is way too fast.
Could this be what is referred to as a martial arts genius?
After all, being accepted as disciples by Senior Brother Li, their inherent talent and Root Bone certainly aren’t bad.
However, no matter who it was, none had the tremendous gain like Li Qian at this moment.
At this moment, as the owner of Chen Bell, having undergone the baptism of the bell’s voice, his mental state seemed to enter a peculiar state of sudden enlightenment.
He drew his sword, the Eighteenth Blade, and began practicing the Heartless Sword Technique; the Qi Blood Holy Realm also gradually began to release, and an invisible Sword Intent seemed to evolve into a unique Sword Domain within a small space.
Around them, vast amounts of Primordial Qi gathered and fused into the unique Qi Blood Holy Realm that was being released.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Li Qian finally recovered, appearing to awaken abruptly from that strange dreamlike state of sudden enlightenment.
He felt somewhat regretful.
Because that state just now was truly amazing.
Suddenly, he looked towards the Chen Bell in front of him. It seemed there was not much change, but in his perception, this Chen Bell had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
With a thought, he summoned the system interface and checked the latest information.
Cultivation: Heavenly Human Realm (Middle phase 99/100).
Sacrificial Artifact: Chen Bell (Spirituality 0/100000).
Martial Arts: Sword Stabbing Fist (Perfect), Heartless Sword Technique (Perfect), Pure Holy Body (Perfect), Soul Chasing Sword Skill (Perfect), Great River Sword Qi (Second Layer 40/100).
Sword Intent: Heartless Sword Intent (Heavenly Phenomenon 25/100).
Divine Skills: Qi Blood Holy Realm (25/100).
Secret Skills: Ten Thousand Transformation Sword Qi, Blood Burning Technique, Sensing Spirit Technique.
Auxiliary Skills: Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution (Minor Achievement 12/100).
His cultivation had suddenly reached a progress of 99.
This was an increase of eight points.
He guessed it must be related to that state of sudden enlightenment, which led to his cultivation progress skyrocketing.
After all, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi had increased a lot, coupled with the effects of the Spirit Gathering Array, was sufficient to support his cultivation improvement.
Also, Heartless Sword Intent had increased by four points.
Normally, it takes half a year to improve Sword Intent by one point.
This meant he had saved two years of time.
However, the biggest change was in the Chen Bell.
From a Magic Artifact, it had transformed into a Spiritual Artifact.
The upgrade progress also increased from the original 10,000 days to 100,000 days.
That is, it would take 273 years for the Chen Bell to upgrade again.
This time period is indeed long.
The Chen Bell, having become a Spiritual Artifact, greatly increased its auxiliary effect on cultivation.
Not only for Li Qian, the Sacrificial Master, but it also has effects on the outside world.
This effect is very unique, akin to being enlightened.
However, this effect only appears with the day’s first bell sound.
Moreover, it must be within the range of the bell sound and those currently engaged in cultivation comprehension to obtain this enlightenment effect.
The closer one is to the Chen Bell, the better the effect.
This means, in the future, his bell sound will not only aid his own cultivation but will also be effective for the countless disciples of the Divine Sword Sect.
Also, when others ring the bell, it could substitute Li Qian, the Sacrificial Master, to complete a Chen Bell refinement.
In this way, even if he leaves the Divine Sword Sect and has no time to ring the bell, as long as someone rings the Chen Bell, it would be equivalent to completing a refinement.
However, the biggest change is because the Chen Bell has been refined on the Chen Bell Platform for a long time, becoming a Spiritual Artifact and will tightly integrate with the Heaven and Earth of the local region, forming a Chen Bell Domain.
The first bell sound’s enlightenment effect within the range of its sound transmission is just one effect of the Chen Bell Domain.
Li Qian, as the Sacrificial Master, within the Chen Bell Domain, possesses immensely strong defense, attack, and recovery capabilities. Unless the Chen Bell Domain is shattered, he is nearly indestructible.
That is to say, as long as Chen Bell Domain remains intact, he is invincible within it.
To break the Chen Bell Domain... he believes not even a Martial Saint could necessarily have the ability.
Moreover, even if he is in a foreign land, he could still draw upon the power of the Chen Bell Domain remotely.
Although the power is less than one percent, it would definitely give a great boost to his strength.
The most important thing is, this Chen Bell Domain could grant him a once extremely powerful trump card, in an unmatched situation, to release all power of the Chen Bell Domain in one ultimate attack.
Once this ultimate attack is used, the Chen Bell Domain will cease to exist.
Additionally, the Chen Bell has the ability to shrink and retract into the body.
However, once the Chen Bell is shrunken and retracted into the body, the Chen Bell Domain will automatically collapse and cease to exist. To reappear, it must be fixed and refined in one place for a long period before it can be restored.
So, he cannot possibly retract the Chen Bell.
Unless he has to flee.
It has to be said, this upgrade of the Chen Bell this time can be called a breakthrough in all aspects.
He truly possesses his own foundation and means of self-preservation now.
