Chapter 273: Chapter 196: Return to Void (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_2

Suddenly, his heart stirred, and he summoned the system interface to check the latest information.

Martial Saint Realm (Mid-stage 55/100).

Primordial Spirit View (42/100) [Sudden Enlightenment].

Chen Bell (Spirit 30664/100000).

Divine Firmament Third Sword (Minor Achievement 23/100).

Heartless Sword Intent (Myriad Phenomena Seventh Layer 4/100).

Qi Blood Holy Realm (Second Progress State 73/100).

Qianyuan Array Manual (Nine Base 3/100).

Fox Puppet (.....)

.....

Li Qian was extremely astonished, wondering if this was a dream, yet he could still access the information on the system interface.

But if it was real... he was clearly in a state of sudden enlightenment while meditating in the underground palace.

Plus, his Heartless Sword Intent had already reached the seventh layer of Myriad Phenomena.

Before the enlightenment, it was still at the sixth layer with a progress of 58.

This meant that this sudden enlightenment allowed him directly to step into the seventh layer, even achieving a progress of 4 points.

It must be said, the speed of comprehending Sword Intent under sudden enlightenment was astonishing.

Under normal circumstances, it would take several years to achieve such effects.

"What exactly is going on?"

Li Qian frowned slightly.

He felt inside him... the power was completely gone.

It was as if he had become an ordinary person.

His Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent seemed to be gone as well.

If not for the information still displayed on the panel, he would doubt if all his previous experiences were but a dream?

Is his current self the real one?

"Wait, how could this be?"

Suddenly, Li Qian’s attention was drawn back to the system panel.

The entire system panel’s information had turned gray, as though it was locked.

Only in the Primordial Spirit View section, another state appeared.

Primordial Spirit View (42/100) [Sudden Enlightenment][Return to Void].

The words [Return to Void] were flickering.

Other information had turned gray.

"Has my Primordial Spirit entered a second state?"

Li Qian mumbled to himself.

He tried to focus his mind on the Return to Void state, but there was no response.

Perhaps it was related to his current state, unable to obtain information about the Return to Void status.

He didn’t know how long he needed to persist in this state?

He exhaled deeply, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Under the blazing sun, coupled with no food, he felt a sense of extreme weakness.

He could only continue walking aimlessly.

"In this Return to Void state, I wonder if I will be fine if I die?"

Li Qian pondered inwardly.

After walking for half a day, he still saw no other scenery.

Everywhere he went, there was only yellow sand.

His eyes were almost unable to stay open, his lips chapped, thirsty and hungry... walking on, he suddenly fell down.

The scorching yellow sand made his consciousness gradually sink into darkness.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, Li Qian suddenly opened his eyes.

He was back in the familiar underground palace.

"Does death mean the end of the Return to Void?"

Li Qian mumbled to himself.

But he summoned the system interface to check again, apart from the Return to Void words not flickering anymore, there was no other gain.

"What is the use of this Return to Void state?"

Li Qian’s mind stirred, and he focused his attention on the words Return to Void.

This time, there was a response.

"The Return to Void state allows one to ascend dimensionally for a certain period and enter a higher-level world. Although one does not truly die in the Return to Void state, one cannot bring back anything that does not belong to oneself, thus strive to return alive in any way possible in the Return to Void state."

Li Qian received the information about Return to Void, his face showing a hint of astonishment.

He hadn’t expected that the Return to Void state he entered actually let him ascend dimensionally into a higher world?

That was too outrageous.

No wonder in that Yellow Sand World, he, an Advanced Great Saint who had achieved the seventh layer of Myriad Phenomena, like a common person, ended up dying inside.

"If I come back alive in the Void State, could I possibly gain some unexpected benefits?"

Li Qian stroked his chin.

This time, the reason he gained no benefits was related to his death in the Yellow Sand World in less than half a day.

As for how to leave the Yellow Sand World alive and return to reality, he had no idea for now.

Sigh!

He stopped thinking about it, took a deep breath, and checked the time, only to be surprised.

He remembered that his whole duration of Sudden Enlightenment was forty-three days, a few days more than the last time.

Yet, in the Void State, more than four months had passed.

"How is this possible?"

Disbelief was written all over Li Qian’s face.

After all, he was walking in the sands in the Void State for at most half a day, his consciousness was very clear, and it wasn’t possible that he would make a mistake.

Moreover, while the system panel was in gray status, the time didn’t increase.

But now, the system panel has returned to normal, and the refining time for the Chen Bell had suddenly increased by more than four months.

There couldn’t be any mistake with the refining time on the Chen Bell.

That means, what seemed to be just half a day’s time in that domain of sand, actually turned out to be more than four months in reality.

"It seems there must be a huge difference in the flow of time between the high-dimensional world and the real world."

A thought struck Li Qian.

He remembered the mythologies from his previous life, about how a day in heaven equals a year on earth.

This time, he entered the Yellow Sand World in the Void State for only half a day in that world, but in reality, more than five months had passed; isn’t this the typical case of half a day in a high-dimensional world being equivalent to half a year in the real world?

"I wonder how one can enter the Void State?"

Li Qian pondered internally.

If it’s like the Sudden Enlightenment state, taking a long time to enter once, that would be rather troublesome.

After all, each entry into the Sudden Enlightenment state brings tangible benefits.

But the Void State, if not done correctly, wouldn’t bring any perks, and would instead waste a lot of time.

This time a total of more than four months had been wasted.

Li Qian shook his head and then got up and left the underground palace.

Sudden Enlightenment plus Void State, it had been half a year.

As he walked out of the Bell Platform, his third disciple, Su Xinlan, hurriedly came up to greet him, "Master, you have finally come out."

"Has the great disaster of demons erupted?"

Li Qian nodded and, with a move of his Spiritual Sense, sensed the situation throughout the entire Divine Sword Sect.

"Master, three months ago, there were already signs of the great demon disaster; it’s very chaotic outside now. If not for the Great Array you set up, our Divine Sword Sect wouldn’t be this calm now."

Su Xinlan quickly said.

The Great Array of the Divine Sword Sect had already been activated.

Li Qian had used a simple activation method when setting up the Great Array, to ensure that the Divine Sword Sect could activate the Great Array immediately even if he wasn’t there.

There were a few official Array Masters in the Array Valley.

And, his younger disciple Lin Qi had long surpassed those Array Masters of the Array Valley in terms of skills, so activating the entire Great Array posed no problem.

"What’s the situation outside now?"

Li Qian asked.

Su Xinlan quickly detailed the situation of the past few months.

Although Chang Country hadn’t completely collapsed, a large number of demonic disasters had emerged, affecting town after town.

Many martial arts forces suffered heavy losses in their conflicts with the Demon Race.

Especially the local martial arts forces, which suffered the heaviest losses.

Now, within the territorial boundary of the Divine Sword Sect, most towns had spiraled out of control - government officials, Demon Sect, martial forces, and even Demon Puppets... it was all in complete chaos.

But the Divine Sword Sect had made ample preparations in advance, condensing their forces, so the losses were not large.

Of course, some disciples couldn’t stand the tragic conditions outside and voluntarily went out to slay demons and exorcise evil.

Basically, the strategy of the higher-ups in the Divine Sword Sect allowed disciples to go out and slay demons and exorcise evil but never forced them.

Li Qian left the Chen Bell Platform, toured the Divine Sword Sect to check the operation of the Solid Array Piles, adjusted a few minor issues, and then returned to the Chen Bell Platform to continue his cultivation.

Another half year passed.

It was chaotic outside, but the Divine Sword Sect was relatively stable.

The Chen Bell Platform was even more tranquil, with the bell chiming continuously.

One day, Li Qian was cultivating again in the underground palace.

Just after refining his spirit, he suddenly felt dazed and found himself once again in the Yellow Sand World.

"Have I entered the Void State again, ascending to a higher level of the world?"

Li Qian was overtaken by surprise.

Compared to the last time, it had only been half a year; the frequency was much higher than the Sudden Enlightenment state.

This time, he definitely had to explore the Void State well.
