Chapter 372: Chapter 235 Heavenly Sword Stele_2

This Daoist Qian Yuan is no ordinary person!

"Daoist Qian Yuan, our Heavenly Sword Manor has long been the land of sword cultivators in the Heavenly Spring Gobi. The master of our manor is even known as the number one Immortal Swordsman of the Heavenly Spring Gobi. You are clearly a sword cultivator as well. Why not join our Heavenly Sword Manor? Our manor possesses countless Sword Dao Skills, which will surely satisfy you."

Elder Bai hurriedly said.

A powerful Immortal Swordsman and even an Array Master... it makes him even more worthwhile for Heavenly Sword Manor to woo.

"Elder Bai, I have been accustomed to drifting freely. Since I started cultivating, I have never joined any forces. My lifelong goal is only to pursue the pinnacle of the Sword Dao."

Li Qian shook his head as he spoke.

His foundation is here; how could he possibly leave the Chen Bell Domain and join something like the Heavenly Sword Manor?

Moreover, a mere Heavenly Sword Manor, compared to superlative forces like the Eternal Dynasty, is simply not worth mentioning.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, if you are unwilling to join the Heavenly Sword Manor, you might still consider becoming a Longevity Level Guest Elder for us. You wouldn’t need to be stationed at the Heavenly Sword Manor; just lend a hand during our times of trouble. Our manor can provide you with an abundance of Sword Dao classics, and you might even have the opportunity to observe our Heavenly Sword Stele."

Elder Bai hurriedly said.

The current situation in the Heavenly Spring Gobi is chaotic; the old manor master’s lifespan is coming to an end, while the manor’s most talented Young Master, although a woman, possesses peerless and extraordinary Sword Dao talent. Unfortunately, she has just entered the Longevity Secret Realm and needs more time to grow.

That’s why he is so eager to ingratiate himself with powerful individuals for Heavenly Sword Manor.

After all, once the old manor master passes, with the resources the manor controls, it might not be possible to keep them amidst the encircling wolves.

"Heavenly Sword Stele?"

Li Qian had never heard of this before, so he was a bit curious.

"You’ve migrated from another place, so you might not have heard about our Heavenly Sword Manor’s Heavenly Sword Stele. This item was left by a great Sword Dao expert who ascended to the Upper Realm and contains the Sword Dao Rhythm from this great power. For sword cultivators, it can break through the limits of Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent and step into a higher realm of Sword Dao Rhythm."

Elder Bai hurriedly explained.

"Sword Dao Rhythm? This can be comprehended in the Lower Realm?"

Li Qian was quite astonished.

"Indeed, while comprehending Dao Rhyme is extremely difficult, almost impossible, there are still peerless geniuses with a slight possibility of grasping it. It’s said that Emperor Chi Chi of the Eternal Dynasty, during his fifty-eighth Return to Void in the Longevity Secret Realm, comprehended the Red Flame Dao Rhythm. Top forces such as the Great Moon Empire and Golden Demon Court reportedly have such exceptional geniuses as well."

Elder Bai immediately said, his tone laced with indescribable reverence.

After all, such beings are destined to ascend to the Upper Realm in the future.

Though he is also a powerhouse in the Longevity Secret Realm, he is far too inferior by comparison.

"To think that one can comprehend Dao Rhyme even in the Lower Realm."

Li Qian murmured to himself.

He had only heard about Dao Rhyme while chatting with others at the Oasis Camp.

If ascension to the Upper Realm requires just reaching a hundred percent in dimension elevation, comprehending Dao Rhyme is not so straightforward.

"Elder Bai, can Dao Rhythm only be comprehended through objects that contain it?"

Li Qian promptly asked.

"Yes, only with something containing Dao Rhyme as a catalyst can Myriad Phenomena Martial Intent transform and grasp Dao Rhyme."

Elder Bai nodded as he spoke.

"In that case, I indeed need to consider this carefully."

Li Qian said with a smile.

However, he did not agree immediately.

With his cautious nature, he would surely conduct a thorough investigation first.

What if he was being schemed against?

Elder Bai, sensing a potential agreement, immediately said: "Daoist Qian Yuan, you may consider it for a while. I just need to visit another Daoist friend, and when I return, we can meet again."

"Alright."

Li Qian nodded.

Elder Bai did not linger in the Daoist Temple. After exchanging some thoughts on the Sword Dao, Elder Bai left riding a crane.

Months later.

Li Qian once again began his Return to Void.

In the Yellow Sand World.

Inside Oasis Camp,

Li Qian slowly opened his eyes.

After eating several pieces of dried meat, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, using his Spiritual Sense for Inner Vision to sense the presence of a Divine Aperture.

It was vaguely visible and somewhat blurred.

Not particularly clear.

This was because the Divine Aperture had not been opened.

Li Qian took a deep breath and immediately mobilized the Spiritual Energy in his body, vibrating the Divine Aperture at a special frequency.

He was using the Divine Aperture Treasure Opening Technique from the Divine Firmament Sword Scripture.

However, he only mastered the opening methods for sixty-five Divine Apertures.

For him right now, that was completely sufficient.

In fact, wanting to fully develop all Divine Apertures was impossible even for top-tier Immortal Swordsmen who had reached the hundred steps of Return to Void.

Only after ascending to the Upper Realm would it be possible to truly do so.

As the Divine Aperture Treasure Opening Technique was deployed, the Divine Aperture felt as if electrified, tingling and numbing.

It was unknown how much time had passed when Li Qian’s body suddenly trembled slightly, and a strange power emerged from the Divine Aperture.

This power was extremely pure, and after coming out from the Divine Aperture, it circulated along the meridians for a time, eventually returning to the Divine Aperture.

Boom!

In an instant, Li Qian finally sensed the true nature within this Divine Aperture.

It was like the Qi Sea and Dantian, but this Divine Aperture contained a Spirit God.

Yes, a Spirit God.

This Spirit God had no facial features, just a simple humanoid form, yet Li Qian felt an indescribable sense of terror from this Spirit God, as if it surpassed the levels of the Longevity Realm.

"Is this the true Divine Power contained within the Divine Aperture?"

Li Qian muttered to himself.

In his sensing, the power that had earlier flowed out returned to the Divine Aperture and entered this Spirit God.

In that instant, the Spirit God seemed to move slightly, and faint, hazy outlines appeared on its originally featureless face, vaguely resembling Li Qian.

"Unexpectedly, the true essence of the Divine Aperture Opening Technique is to refine this Spirit God for my own use."

Li Qian muttered to himself.

In this high-dimensional world, all the powers of the mundane world could not be used.

Only the power unearthed from within this Spirit God could be effective.

"Every Divine Aperture hides a Spirit God, this is the true treasure within the Longevity Spirit Body, only those with a Spirit Root are qualified to unearth it, and moreover, only by nourishing with Spiritual Energy can the Spirit God gradually form Divine Power."

Li Qian felt joy in his heart.

Although he only possessed a bit of Divine Power, in this high-dimensional world, he finally had a bit of extraordinary power and was no longer just an ordinary mortal.

Huff!

Li Qian opened his eyes, feeling a great consumption of Spiritual Sense and physical weariness.

This meant that he faced significant limitations if he wanted to cultivate the Divine Aperture Treasure Opening Technique.

Suddenly, his heart stirred, the sound of a bell rang forth, gradually restoring some of his mental and physical weariness, and his Spiritual Sense also recovered more quickly.

This indicated that the Chen Bell Sound could assist him in cultivating the Divine Aperture Treasure Opening Technique.

However, he still stopped his cultivation.

There was no rush for the time being.

He stood up and walked out of the wooden house, while most people stayed inside.

Li Qian saw the burly Tuo Ba carving something with a Bone Knife and was no longer surprised.

"Daoist Tuo Ba, do you know about Dao Rhythm?"

He sat down next to Tuo Ba and asked.

"A little bit, has Daoist Qian Yuan acquired an item of Dao Rhythm?"

Tuo Ba asked with a smile.

"Not exactly, I heard from others in the Lower Realm that perceiving an item of Dao Rhythm has a certain chance to elevate Martial Intent to the level of Dao Rhythm."

Li Qian said.

"Yes, indeed there is such a saying, but the difficulty is extremely high, only those with heavenly talent have a slight hope, it is said that the chances greatly increase in a state of Sudden Enlightenment, but unfortunately, Sudden Enlightenment is too rare."

Tuo Ba nodded and said.

Sudden Enlightenment?

Upon hearing this, Li Qian’s Primordial Spirit possessed a state of Sudden Enlightenment, but it had not been triggered for a long time.

If he were to enter a state of Sudden Enlightenment, and then observe the Heavenly Sword Stele, wouldn’t he possibly comprehend the Sword Dao Rhythm?
