Chapter 272: Chapter 196: Return to Void (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Elder Qing Song convened the Supreme Council in the name of the ancestor, demanding strict confidentiality about the meeting’s content. Following the meeting, the Divine Sword Sect began to deploy and prepare with great urgency.

The preparations of the Divine Sword Sect mainly involved several aspects. First, developing a large tract of land between Lijian City and the Divine Sword Sect to establish a new city, along with opening up many spirit fields, plantations, and breeding grounds.

Second, spending a large sum of money and pill tickets to purchase various in-demand materials throughout the land.

Third, increasing the recruitment of new members, and allowing Official Disciples to relocate their families to either Lijian City or the new city.

Fourth, establishing and perfecting a secret intelligence organization to deal with the upcoming catastrophic demonic disaster.

Fifth, beginning to quietly gather forces and establishing secret underground fortresses across various locations.

In fact, other Celestial Level powers with channels of information also began to make secret preparations.

Only the local powers remained completely oblivious.

In the blink of an eye, another two years passed.

During these two years, Great Success remained peaceful, with no bad news spreading.

Some Supreme Elders of the Divine Sword Sect began to question whether this so-called catastrophic demonic disaster would truly occur?

After all, the cost paid by the Divine Sword Sect for such a huge mobilization was indeed massive.

Also, during these two years, Li Qian essentially completed the entire setup of the Great Array.

The Great Array placed at the Divine Sword Sect was an Eight Base Formation, covering a very large area extending over dozens of kilometers, consuming an enormous amount of Array resources.

Such a large Great Array naturally had a tremendous demand for Spiritual Energy.

Fortunately, the current concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Human World was quite high, sufficient to meet the operational needs of the Array.

In order to create Solid Array Piles, Li Qian spent a considerable amount of effort over these two years.

After testing, the entire Great Array was perfect.

It could be said that this Array represented the culmination of his mastery in Array techniques.

After having set up the Great Array, his self-created Qianyuan Array Manual also finally reached Perfect Eighth Rank, smoothly advancing to the Ninth Base.

Over these two years, all of Li Qian’s disciples and grand-disciples had returned to the Chen Bell Platform.

Li Qian used a significant amount of Cultivation Resources to allow them to cultivate in seclusion, striving to improve their cultivation to deal with the upcoming catastrophic demonic disaster and increase their chances of survival.

Additionally, under the name of the ancestor, Li Qian also donated some unused Cultivation Resources to the Supreme Hall.

In recent years, having slain a large number of Demon Saints and Great Saints from the Demon Race, he obtained a vast amount of Cultivation Resources, which would be a waste just sitting idle in a Storage Device.

One day, Chai Shao and several others returned from the Supreme Hall meeting in the inner gate with unpleasant expressions.

"Master, Dao Sect has already notified the major powers within Great Success to prepare for the catastrophic demonic disaster," Chai Shao hurriedly relayed the contents of the meeting.

"Oh? Does Dao Sect have any countermeasures?"

Li Qian asked.

"No, they just told the major powers to deal with it themselves."

Chai Shao shook his head.

"It looks like the Martial Alliance is preparing for a protracted battle," Li Qian said with a heavy voice.

That is to say, the Martial Alliance was already overwhelmed.

The alliance of the demons was exerting tremendous pressure on the Martial Alliance.

The Demon Race was actually manageable, but the main issue was the demon disaster... Once out of control, a proliferation of Demon Puppets would spread like a virus, making it very difficult to contain.

"By cooperating with the Fox Demon like this, the Demon Race may also be seeking the skin of a tiger," Li Qian thought to himself.

Although that Fox Demon retains some consciousness from its time as a Fox Demon, it has ultimately become demonic, and one shouldn’t judge it based on its past as a Fox Demon.

Knowing the risks, the Demon Race still chose to cooperate with the Fox Demon... This left Li Qian somewhat puzzled.

Returning to the underground palace, Li Qian sat down and began to cultivate the Eight Prisons Yama Refining God Technique.

After a long time, Li Qian opened his eyes, revealing a strange glint.

"Have I entered a state of Sudden Enlightenment again?" Li Qian murmured to himself.

His current condition was exactly the same as during his last Enlightenment State.

His entire being suddenly seemed to turn incredibly calm.

He checked the system interface, indeed noticing that the word Enlightenment behind Primordial Spirit View was flickering again.

The last Enlightenment lasted for thirty-eight days.

He wondered how long it would last this time.

Li Qian’s heart was filled with joy.

The Human World was about to fall into the demonic disaster, and his current strength was indeed lacking; he had to increase his power as soon as possible.

Thus, he wholeheartedly immersed himself in the comprehension of Sword Intent.

Under the Enlightenment State, the comprehension of Sword Intent was the most effective.

Time passed day by day.

Li Qian’s disciples and grand-disciples suddenly realized that their master and patriarch hadn’t appeared for quite some time.

However, they didn’t pay it much mind, guessing that the master must be in secluded cultivation.

Like this, more than a month passed.

Li Qian finally emerged from the Enlightenment State.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and discovered that he was not in the underground palace.

"Wait, where am I?"

Li Qian looked around, finding himself in a mysterious desert of yellow sand.

Endless at a glance.

No edge in sight.

Li Qian walked on the sand, feeling his feet sink into it.

He bent down and scooped up a handful of sand.

As the sand slipped through his fingers, he raised his eyes to the sky to see a blazing sun hanging, unbearably hot.

Li Qian felt a sense of dizziness from the intense heat.

Moreover, breathing the air into his lungs, he felt a suffocating sensation.

He walked with difficulty, looking around, he saw nothing but sand, without any other colors or things in sight.

"Damn it, wasn’t I in a state of Enlightenment? How did I end up here? Is this an illusion?"

Li Qian muttered to himself in his heart.
