"I love to hear that," Li Qian said with a light chuckle.
"Does this an you agree?" Pang Bai asked with great joy upon hearing this.
"Agree to what?" Li Qian said in surprise.
"To join in excavating that ancient relic?" Pang Bai explained.
"Who said I agreed? The risk is too great in excavating ancient relics. Elder Pang, let’s not aim too high. Opportunity can sotis be a poison. If it’s not ant for you and you forcibly seize it, the consequences are unpredictable," Li Qian shook his head.
Although he had already reached the Heavenly Phenonon Level Celestial, there were still too many unknowns in this world for him to risk recklessly, especially with sothing like ancient relics, of which nobody knew what might be contained within.
What he did not lack at the mont was opportunity.
What he lacked was only ti.
"Junior Brother Li, I understand what you’re saying, but... don’t you feel the slightest bit tempted? If we seize this opportunity, maybe one day we could beco a Heavenly Person," Pang Bai said, stroking his shiny bald head. Even with Sound Transmission into Secrets, it was hard to hide his excitent.
"To beco a Heavenly Person, one must first stay alive," Li Qian replied indifferently. "Senior Brother Pang, I suggest you wait until you’re stronger before you go excavating, like after you’ve beco a Heavenly Person, which would be sowhat safer."
"A Heavenly Person... what a joke. If I could beco a Heavenly Person, why would I risk hunting for opportunity?" Pang Bai said, with a laugh and a cry, "Forget it, I’ll have to consider this so more."
Watching Pang Bai leave, Li Qian shook his head. He had waited until he had the strength of a Heavenly Person before daring to excavate treasures from a treasure map.
It was not wise to seek opportunities beyond one’s abilities.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with taking risks as long as one was willing to stake their life.
The world did not lack those willing to take risks.
Yet, those who ultimately succeeded were few; most ended up as nothing but piles of bones.
All he needed to do was to follow his routine cultivation practice, and seven years later, the Chen Bell would be upgraded.
In twenty-odd years, his Great River Sword Qi could reach the third layer.
In fifty-odd years, his Sword Intent might even reach the Myriad Phenona Level.
Perhaps by then... he would have beco a Martial Saint.
As long as there was enough ti, none of this was wishful thinking; everything could eventually beco reality.
So, he absolutely must not be impatient.
...
Nightfall.
Li Qian left the Divine Sword Sect and once again entered the Tianzhi Mountain range.
This ti, he was here to break through to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Human Realm.
Finding a suitable place, Li Qian sat cross-legged with five Primordial Stones revolving around him.
The Spirit Gathering Array had been set up, concentrating the dense Heaven and Earth Essence Qi within several zhang.
As he operated the Heartless Sword Technique’s ntal thod, his Pure Holy Body began to frantically absorb the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
The Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo he released also spread out, covering the area within the Spirit Gathering Array.
A massive amount of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and the Primordial Qi released from the Primordial Stones rapidly rged with his Qi Blood essence, transforming into Innate True Qi...
With invisible trembling and thundering sounds, the Heavenly Celestial True Core in his Dantian suddenly crumbled, transforming into ten streams of True Qi, which then left his Dantian and his body, appearing outside.
At the sa ti, the eleventh True Qi was also gradually taking shape.
Boom!
Suddenly.
The eleven streams of True Qi fiercely collided with each other, intertwining and wrapping around one another, releasing a terrifying fluctuation akin to a volcanic eruption.
Li Qian poured the Qi Blood energy stored within the Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo into it like a madman.
It was unknown how much ti had passed, but with the last trace of True Qi fused in, a new and more powerful Heavenly Celestial True Core had ford.
Just when he thought this breakthrough was over, suddenly, his Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo began to shake violently.
It started to frantically absorb the Qi Blood within his body...
He even felt as if he was being drained dry.
"What’s this?"
Li Qian was greatly shocked; his Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo was also undergoing a transformation.
He hastily took out the demon stone and began to frantically absorb its power.
Strands of demon energy were absorbed by the Pure Holy Body, then refined into pure Qi Blood Energy, rging into the embryo of the Qi Blood Sacred Realm.
The process was excruciatingly painful.
With his own Qi Blood Energy depleted, the influx of demon energy... was a complete harm to the Pure Holy Body.
But at this point, it was the only thing he could do.
In the end, spider web-like cracks appeared on the surface of his body, making him look extrely terrifying.
It was as if a person had been sunburnt to the point of complete dehydration and peeling.
As the Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo received a substantial amount of Qi Blood Energy, it also gradually expanded.
Four zhang.
Five zhang.
Six zhang.
Seven zhang.
...
Until finally, the Qi Blood Sacred Realm stopped expanding after reaching an astonishing thirty-plus zhang.
From the outside, within a hundred ters radius with Li Qian at the center, it looked as if a pale golden peculiar domain had been ford.
He was overjoyed in his heart, the Qi Blood Sacred Realm was finally fully ford.
When it was still in its embryonic state, the Qi Blood Sacred Realm was not stable, much like ripples on water, one wave after another.
Suddenly, with a thought, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi within the Qi Blood Sacred Realm began to transform into Qi Blood Energy.
This ant that the Qi Blood Sacred Realm was no longer reliant on his own Qi Blood Energy supply, but could absorb Heaven and Earth Essence Qi for conversion.
With this, he no longer had to worry about a lack of Qi Blood Energy.
Suddenly, he reached out his hand and a terrifying golden light, like flas, gathered in his palm. With a gentle wave, the dense golden flas shot out, piercing through a small mountain not far away.
Accompanied by a loud boom, the mountain directly collapsed.
"Hiss..."
Li Qian couldn’t help but gasp at this scene.
That attack from his Qi Blood Sacred Realm was no less powerful than a Heavenly Phenonon Strike.
Moreover, he felt that the attack from the Qi Blood Sacred Realm was secondary; that was not where the true capabilities of the Qi Blood Sacred Realm lay.
"The previous embryo could suppress demi-demons... I wonder if this complete Qi Blood Sacred Realm could suppress a true demon?" he pondered in his mind.
However, on second thought, he shook his head as it still seed a little unrealistic.
If he were to face the wolf demon in the Taiping Sacred Cave, his Qi Blood Sacred Realm would probably amount to nothing.
Huff!
Li Qian took a deep breath, retracted the Qi Blood Sacred Realm, with a wave of his hand, the two Array Plates disappeared, and then he soared into the air, flying towards the distance.
....
Several months passed like this.
One day, just after completing his cultivation, his master Zhou Buping suddenly brought back so news—Divine Sword Sect had suffered heavy losses while excavating an Ancient Relic.
Including the fall of Xie Tiancheng, the Top Grandmaster and Master of Martial Peak.
"Master, when did the excavation of the Ancient Relic start?" Li Qian was very surprised.
Could it be the one Pang Bai ntioned?
"It was these past two months; I only found out recently as it had been conducted in secrecy."
Zhou Buping shook his head.
Being a retired elder, he had not been involved in the excavation of the Ancient Relics.
"I heard that this Ancient Relic was discovered by an elder. I really didn’t expect it to be so dangerous that even Peak Master Xie would fall within it."
Zhou Buping said with a sigh.
This was the first ti since the great rebellion that the Divine Sword Sect had suffered such a significant loss.
Li Qian was pretty sure; it was the Ancient Relic discovered by Pang Bai, and it seed like he took the advice to heart and handed over the Ancient Relic to the Divine Sword Sect.
It’s just that he did not expect the Ancient Relic to be so perilous that even a top Grandmaster like Peak Master Xie fell there.
The Ancient Relic was not excavated, but instead, heavy losses were suffered.
It’s hard to tell if the Divine Sword Sect is lucky or unlucky.
