Chapter 324: Chapter 214: Slaying the Supreme Saint

Li Qian had no real interest in controlling the great powers of the Daoist Sect.

Even in the Divine Sword Sect, he had never managed any affairs.

Saint Zhou Yan once said that above the Supreme Jade Disc, there is an even higher authority—the Supreme Saint Jade Disc, which can locate the jade slips of all members in the Daoist Sect, including the Supreme Jade Disc.

Thus, replacing the Supreme Jade Disc with the Supreme Saint Jade Disc and becoming the Saint Venerable of the Daoist Sect was an acceptable idea to him.

After all, he only needed to be a hands-off manager.

"I need to make it clear in advance, I can serve as the Saint Venerable of the Daoist Sect... but I will not manage affairs, nor will I stay at the Daoist Sect’s gate."

Li Qian stated.

"Saint Venerable, the Daoist Sect is yours to command, naturally."

Saint Zhou Yan said promptly, directly changing the title.

With a Supreme Saint in the Daoist Sect, there was a reliance, and the continuity of the Daoist Sect was no longer an issue.

As for what the Saint Venerable wanted to do?

That was beyond their control.

Thus, escorted by many Great Saints and Martial Saints, Li Qian headed towards the Sacred Hall of the Daoist Sect.

Inside the Sacred Hall, there were the Spiritual Plates and Tablets of historic Martial Saints and higher.

Only the Supreme Level had the qualification to leave behind a Spiritual Tablet.

While the Martial Saints and ordinary Great Saints left Spiritual Butterflies.

As for the higher-ranking Supreme Saints, they left Spiritual Platform Saint Images.

At this moment, inside the Sacred Hall, there were a total of twenty-eight Spiritual Platform Saint Images, representing the twenty-eight Supreme Saints throughout the history of the Daoist Sect.

Additionally, there was one empty platform.

Above it floated a peculiar jade disc.

This jade disc was quite unique, resembling an intertwining of dragon and phoenix, embodying a divine charm.

Following a series of worship rituals, Li Qian reached out towards the Supreme Saint Jade Scroll.

Accompanied by a ripple-like gleam, the Supreme Saint Jade Scroll fell into the grasp of Li Qian.

In an instant, Li Qian’s Spiritual Sense perceived the information within the Supreme Saint Jade Scroll.

It was startlingly the message left by the previous holder of the Supreme Saint Jade Scroll, Wei He Supreme Saint.

"Be cautious of Wu Xu Venerable Sage, I was schemed by him....."

Moments later, Li Qian opened his eyes, his expression unchanged.

Clearly, Wei He Supreme Saint, having been schemed, did not disclose this matter.

After all, without a Supreme Saint’s protection for the Daoist Sect... even if the truth was known, what then? It would only put the Daoist Sect in a dangerous predicament.

Only with the birth of a Supreme Saint and the inheritance of the Supreme Saint Jade Scroll could the warning left by Wei He Supreme Saint be received.

This Wei He Supreme Saint indeed had painstaking intentions.

"Greetings, Saint Venerable."

At this moment, led by Saint Zhou Yan, many Great Saints and Martial Saints of the Daoist Sect knelt on one knee again, paying respect to Li Qian, the Daoist Sect Saint Venerable.

"Elder Zhou Yan, you will still be responsible for all major and minor matters of the Daoist Sect."

Li Qian declared.

"Yes, Saint Venerable."

Saint Zhou Yan quickly accepted the command.

With a Supreme Saint, he finally felt a great relief from the burden on his shoulders.

After assuming the role of Daoist Sect Saint Venerable and taking control of the Supreme Saint Jade Scroll, Li Qian did not leave, as the current state of the Daoist Sect was very vulnerable. If the Martial Alliance attacked again, it would be perilous.

Moreover, he planned to restore the broken Mountain Protection Array of the Daoist Sect.

Although he was not a Ten Directions Array Master, he was not far from it...icester madeleineşt...Adding to that, it was just the restoration of the existing Great Array, which further reduced the difficulty.

Moreover, he could also study the Mountain Protection Array of the Daoist Sect to perfect his own Qian Yuan Array Manual.

Unfortunately, the Array Sect Array Master who had broken the Mountain Protection Array of the Daoist Sect had left early, so Li Qian also had no way to obtain the core Array Formation Books of the Array Sect.

The hands of a Ten Directions Array Master of the Array Sect surely held valuable things.

...

North of the Human World.

On a high peak.

Two figures stood.

"Uncle Master, there’s been a situation at the Daoist Sect, you need to handle it, see what’s happening?"

A middle-aged man sitting in a wheelchair looked calmly towards the distant afterglow and spoke.

Beside him stood a Green-clothed Elder, with a tuft of beard, looking at the figure in the wheelchair, spoke solemnly: "Aren’t we supposed to handle the Barbarian Clan? I think the Daoist Sect can be put on hold for now."

"For the Barbarian Clan, I have a better solution."

A deep voice rose from the wheelchair-bound middle-aged man, filled with the confidence of holding wisdom in his grasp.

"If you’re confident, that’s fine."

The Green-clothed Elder nodded, then turned and left the peak.

...

Daoist Sect gate.

Li Qian was repairing a Solid Array Pile.

For him, this was a task easily completed.

Several Daoist Sect Array Masters following him were thoroughly impressed.

They had not expected the Saint Venerable to not only possess great strength but also to have such high mastery in arrays.

Up to this point, Li Qian had repaired about a third of the Ten Directions Xuanwu Formation.

Of course, these were the easier ones to repair...there were still many severely damaged parts, where Solid Array Piles must be completely replaced.

This would take a considerable amount of time.

It couldn’t possibly be completed in just a few days.

And Li Qian did not have that much time.

Therefore, the manufacturing of Solid Array Piles was left to the Daoist Sect’s Array Masters.

Although their strongest was just an Eight Base Array Master, manufacturing Solid Array Piles was not much of an issue.

Suddenly, Li Qian stopped his work and looked up into the distance, his eyes flickering with a hint of cold light.

The Martial Alliance had finally dispatched a Supreme Saint with some substantial weight.

Swoosh!

Li Qian flew up, arriving in the air.

Soon, he saw a figure of a Green-clothed Elder stepping forward.

"Unexpectedly, a Supreme Saint has emerged in the Daoist Sect, no wonder it failed."

The Green-clothed Elder, with hands clasped behind his back, sighed and remarked, "How did I never know, fellow Daoist, that there’s such a character within the Daoist Sect?"

"Heh, there are many things you don’t know of."

Li Qian calmly said, "I wonder, although clearly human, why not act as one?"
