It seed as if it would break with just a poke.
"Within the Chenzhong Cave Heaven, if there is enough spiritual energy, perhaps breaking through to a Void Immortal shouldn’t be a problem."
Li Qian stroked his chin, lost in thought.
However, not to ntion the spiritual energy is far from sufficient, there’s also the concern of whether breaking through to Void Immortal in the Lower Realm would affect his ascension?
So he could make preparations in this regard, but at the sa ti, he also needs to understand more information on this matter.
Unfortunately, in the things left by Tian Lan Immortal Venerable, this cheap master of his, there wasn’t any information regarding this.
Perhaps in the eyes of Tian Lan Immortal Venerable, wanting to break through to Void Immortal in the Lower Realm was simply impossible.
"Forget it, let’s take it slow."
Li Qian shook his head.
After all, he wasn’t in a hurry.
...
Ti flew by.
More than three hundred years passed.
Li Qian stored massive amounts of spiritual energy in the Chen Bell through Return to Void.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to gather information on breaking through to Void Immortal in the Lower Realm at the Lihuo Palace, even though he felt the spiritual energy stored should be sufficient to break through to Void Immortal, he dared not take that step lightly.
If he achieved Void Immortal in the Lower Realm and could no longer Return to Void... that would be quite the situation.
However, through his intentional networking, his circle of contacts in the Tower District expanded greatly.
In particular, his relationship with Captain Zhang of the local black guards improved significantly.
Captain Zhang also regarded him as a trusted confidant.
Although more than three hundred years had passed in the Lower Realm,
in the Upper Realm, it was just a little over a year.
During these three hundred years, the Longevity Realm hadn’t changed much, but the Divine Sword Sect had undergone trendous changes.
First was the ergence of a batch of Longevity Realm experts.
So now, the Divine Sword Sect began to step out in the Longevity Realm, starting to have a certain influence in the Heavenly Spring Gobi.
Moreover, under Li Qian’s secret manipulation, the demonic spirits of the Black Extre Palace not only targeted Longevity Realm experts who had gone over fifty steps in Refinent Returner but also those over twenty steps... would be targeted by the demonic spirits as well.
This indirectly drove the super forces, such as the Eternal Royal Family, out of the Heavenly Spring Gobi.
Li Qian’s goal was simple: to provide a certain degree of protection to the Divine Sword Sect within the Heavenly Spring Gobi.
Although he wouldn’t interfere with Divine Sword Sect’s expansion, he wouldn’t allow overly strong forces to affect the internal balance of the Heavenly Spring Gobi.
When the Longevity Realm experts of the Divine Sword Sect grow stronger, he will slowly raise the cultivation realm ceiling of the Heavenly Spring Gobi.
During this period, the Eternal Royal Family undoubtedly was the most cooperative.
After all, the Eternal Royal Family knew that Li Qian already controlled the demonic spirits of the Black Extre Palace....
But other forces didn’t know.
It wasn’t until they suffered heavy losses that they completely gave up on infiltrating the Heavenly Spring Gobi.
...
Upper Realm.
Lihuo Palace.
Tower District.
A large number of Refinent Returners erged from various towers, forming formations, then boarded spacecraft led by black-armored martial artists.
As a black guard of the Hong Family, Li Qian shouldn’t have to join such missions.
But this ti, it was quite special; it was said that even the black guards of various prefectures of Lihuo Palace had to participate.
On a spacecraft with the Hong character embroidered on a banner, Li Qian and nurous black guards of the Hong Family looked solemn.
Rumor had it that there would be a great battle involving the dispute of interests between two immortal figures.
Half a day later.
The spacecraft arrived at the battlefield area.
Li Qian overlooked the battlefield ahead, where two massive armies were slaughtering each other... every mont nurous people fell dead to the ground, and then their bodies gradually disappeared...
No need to say, the battling sides were surely Refinent Returners.
In nurous fierce battles, Refinent Returners were always the first batch of cannon fodder to be consud.
Of course, Refinent Returners could be resurrected, the most it would affect is later cultivation... precisely because of this, Refinent Returners fulfilled the role of cannon fodder without complaint.
After all, the Lihuo Palace would continuously supply cultivation resources.
"To be honest, I really envy you Refinent Returners.... die, and you can still co back to life."
Suddenly, Captain Zhang standing next to him spoke.
"Captain Zhang... in just over a year, there have been so many wars, if you local cultivators fall, wouldn’t all previous efforts be in vain?"
Li Qian curiously asked.
He thought of the red-armored woman Qi i, the young master... with a relatively high status in the Lihuo Palace, but had fallen without leaving a trace.
"Indeed."
Captain Zhang sighed with emotion, "The only thing better than you Refinent Returners... us local cultivators, after falling... can get the qualification for reincarnation, but unfortunately, will the reincarnated self still be ?"
His voice carried a touch of self-mockery.
Li Qian fell silent.
He knew that the reason Lihuo Palace didn’t trust the Refinent Returners was mainly that the Refinent Returners could resurrect, making control relatively weaker.
So for Refinent Returners to gain favor, the only way was to solidify themselves, stay in the Upper Realm, and cut off their retreat.
"Qian Yuan, right now there is a spot, if you break through Refinent Returner... you can obtain full-fledged mbership in the Lihuo Palace."
Captain Zhang suddenly said.
Li Qian imdiately understood Captain Zhang’s intention, realizing it was to persuade himself to break through to the Void Immortal.
After all, achieving Returning Void Perfection in his cultivation realm was undoubtedly sothing that couldn’t be hidden.
"You might not know, this ti for all full-fledged mbers of the Lihuo Palace, there will be a celestial opportunity, an opportunity to completely change destiny, it’s said that Ascension Immortal Sect wants to recruit a batch of servant disciples, this battle actually pertains to the allocation of the servant disciple quotas."
Captain Zhang whispered suddenly.
"Ascension Immortal Sect recruiting servant disciples?"
Li Qian was taken aback.
Once in the Divine Sword Sect of the Lower Realm, he was a servant disciple.
Never expected that in this upper level, the Ascension Immortal Sect would also recruit servant disciples.
However, the identity difference between these two types of servant disciples must be worlds apart.
To compete for servant disciple quotas, two immortal figures actually had to initiate a great battle for it.
It goes without saying that the identity of a servant disciple in the Ascension Immortal Sect must be a trendous opportunity for those in the Lihuo Palace as well.
"Captain Zhang, full-fledged mbers of the Lihuo Palace are nurous, the competition for the servant disciple quota must be incredibly fierce."
Li Qian said.
"Naturally, however, once obtaining the identity of a servant disciple in the Ascension Immortal Sect, that’s truly changing one’s fate against the heavens, because servant disciples can obtain Reserve Immortal Records, though not as good as genuine Immortal Records, they can similarly unravel the Mystery of the Womb, and the cultivation resources they obtain far surpass what Lihuo Palace can provide."
Captain Zhang said.
Li Qian beca increasingly puzzled; given the competition was so fierce, why would Captain Zhang want him to break through to Void Immortal and obtain full mbership?
Could it be that he actually believed he had this qualification?
Moreover, the higher-ups of the Lihuo Palace... would probably also find ways to tightly hold on to the servant disciple quotas.
Unless there was another purpose?
For instance, soone got a servant disciple quota, then the higher-ups, through underhanded ans, took over this quota...
Li Qian had always been unafraid to suspect human nature with the greatest malice...
In face of the enormous benefits involved in being a servant disciple, there must be those who would take the risk.
Li Qian didn’t think, after becoming a Void Immortal, that he had the strength to secure the identity of a servant disciple amidst fierce competition?
Even though he had a good relationship with Captain Zhang.
However, when it cos to greater benefits, that wouldn’t necessarily be the case.
Therefore, he wouldn’t join the competition for servant disciples.
The risk was too high.
After all, he could completely follow the path of Tian Lan Immortal Venerable, and through ascension, perhaps with his status as a registered disciple of Tian Lan Immortal Venerable, he could obtain better treatnt.
"Captain Zhang, I am soone who only seeks stability.... such high-risk opportunities, I probably wouldn’t enjoy either."
Li Qian shook his head and said.
Captain Zhang was stunned for a mont, then laughed, not saying anything more.
...
Longevity Realm.
Inside the Daoist Temple.
Li Qian opened his eyes and let out a breath.
He died in the one great battle in the Upper Realm.
Under the circumstances at that ti, if he had exerted all his strength, it wasn’t like he didn’t have a chance to survive.
But then it would have made him too noticeable.
Plus, when Captain Zhang suddenly ntioned the servant disciple quotas of the Ascension Immortal Sect, he knew that during his year in the Lihuo Palace, although he seed low-key, he was still quite conspicuous to those with ulterior motives.
So, he deed it necessary to die once, to lower his profile.
Li Qian rubbed his temples.
Experiencing death wasn’t a pleasant feeling.
However, with the Dao Artifact Chen Bell in possession, the negative impact brought by dying was quickly overco.
"It seems better to stay away from that Captain Zhang."
Li Qian murmured to himself.
