Chapter 376: Chapter 237: Comprehending the Sword Dao Rhythm

Time flies swiftly like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, more than fifty years have passed.

During these years, he has been mostly cultivating in the Daoist Temple at the back mountain of Yiling Town, undergoing a Return to Void every two years or so.

Every ten years, the Heavenly Sword Manor would send someone to deliver the Guest Elder’s salary without fail.

Originally, Li Qian thought the Heavenly Sword Manor must be in some serious trouble, which is why they were eager to win him over, but now it seems that’s not the case; they have never asked him for assistance in over fifty years.

However, Li Qian knows that to maintain the support of a Longevity Level powerhouse, they must have intentions for the future.

On this day.

Within the Daoist Temple.

Li Qian had just finished his practice and slowly opened his eyes.

With a thought, he summoned the system interface to check the latest information.

Host: Li Qian (Dimension Upgrade 19/100) (.....).

Longevity Realm (Early Stage 47/100).

Yang God (99/100) [Sudden Enlightenment] [Return to Void].

Chen Bell (Spirit 77012/100000).

Divine Firmament Fourth Sword (Breaking the Sky, Armor Breaking, Breaking Realm, Soul-breaking), Divine Firmament Fifth Sword (Great Success 91/100).

Celestial Star Sword Technique (Longevity Level).

Spirit Gods: Heavenly Craft (38/100), Xuan Yang (33/100), Yin Candle (31/100).

Heartless Sword Intent (Perfect).

Divine Skills: Immovable Divine Pearl.

Qianyuan Array Manual (Eleven Base 99/100).

Fox Puppet (.....)

...

Over fifty years of Returning to Void, his Dimension Upgrade progress has reached 19.

That is to say, he has almost reached the Nineteen-step Reversal Longevity Realm.

Moreover, his Yang God progress has reached ninety-nine.

Yet the final step is eluding him.

Normally, as a powerhouse of the Longevity Realm who has also passed the Heart Demon Tribulation, achieving true Yang God status should have been a matter of course.

What’s the reason for this current impasse? Li Qian has no clue for the time being.

The Divine Firmament Fourth Sword has been perfected, giving birth to the Soul-breaking Profound Meaning.

And the Fifth Sword has reached a level of Great Success, not far from perfecting it.

These years, he has been practicing the Divine Aperture Treasure Opening Technique and has added two more Spirit Gods, Xuan Yang and Yin Candle, both of which have already reached progress in the thirties.

Practicing three Venerable Spirit Gods is also his current limit; practicing more would have a significant impact.

Unfortunately, his Qianyuan Array Manual is also stuck at a progress of 99.

The reason is simple.

From Eleven Base to Twelve Base constitutes a qualitative breakthrough, involving the true principles of spatial arrays.

Without relevant array knowledge to guide him, he simply cannot overcome this threshold.

All these years, he has tried to acquire a variety of secret manuals on arrays, but the best he could find were only up to Eleven Base.

On the other hand, his Celestial Star Sword Technique has been truly promoted to the Longevity Level.

Furthermore, as his understanding of the Sword Dao deepens, the potential of this swordsmanship continues to rise.

It has now become the defining swordsmanship technique of his disciples.

Speaking of which, the several disciples he accepted in Yiling Town have all grown significantly, with the most talented Lin Xu already stepping into the Martial Saint Realm.

Apart from Lin Xu’s own talent, there are also some benefits from the Chen Bell Domain.

Unfortunately, among his many disciples in the Divine Sword Sect, none have broken through to the Martial Saint.

People like Chai Shao, Su Xinlan, and Xu Long are all stuck at the top Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial, unable to cross that Martial Saint threshold.

Even though they are immersed in the Chen Bell Sound daily, it is still not enough...

After all, their natural talents are slightly lacking.

Thinking about the Martial Saints in the Dao Sect’s Martial Alliance... each one possesses greater talent than his own disciples, and the cultivation they received from childhood is far beyond comparison.

After all, Li Qian at that time could not provide them with top-notch cultivation conditions.

Even with the assistance of the Chen Bell Sound, the actual effect is quite limited.

As for disciples Yang Fan and Wen Wan who left Yiling Town, their whereabouts remain unknown and they have not returned for decades.

If it weren’t for the existence of the Identity Jade which can determine the life and death of the disciple, he would be quite worried that they had perished.

However, as they have been living well for decades outside, Li Qian need not worry about the two of them.

Perhaps they have encountered many opportunities outside.

Suddenly, Li Qian was taken aback.

Because... the Enlightenment State behind Yang God started to flicker.

At the same time, he felt as if his consciousness had plunged into a very peculiar state in that moment.

Extraordinarily calm and clear.

As if he could see through everything.

"Finally, another Sudden Enlightenment."

Li Qian sighed internally.

It had been over fifty years since the last one.

And more than a hundred and twenty years since the previous enlightenment.

"It’s about time to take a trip to the Heavenly Sword Manor."

Li Qian’s face was as calm as water, yet his heart was very excited.

He then left the Daoist Temple and headed towards the Heavenly Sword Manor.

It had been several decades since his last visit to the Heavenly Sword Manor.

During this period, he had not gone to the Heavenly Sword Manor at all.

Except for Elder Bai, who had visited him a few years ago to catch up on old times.

One day later, Li Qian arrived at the Heavenly Sword Manor.

As a Guest Elder with an order token, entering and exiting the Heavenly Sword Manor naturally posed no problems.

As soon as he entered, Elder Bai came to greet him.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, you’re a rare visitor indeed."

Elder Bai said with a smile.

He was quite surprised.

Throughout the years, Daoist Qian Yuan, the Longevity Level Guest Elder, had never visited the Heavenly Sword Manor, not even to observe the Heavenly Sword Stele every ten years.

"Elder Bai, I had a sudden insight, so I wanted to observe the Heavenly Sword Stele."

Li Qian said with a light smile.

With the enlightenment state lasting only a little over a month, he had to save time, thus he kept the conversation brief.

"That makes sense."

Elder Bai nodded, "Elder Qian Yuan has never made use of the Heavenly Sword Stele before. Although it’s not yet time, it can still be activated at any time."
