Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 184 - 146 Lion Camel Great Saint (seeking monthly ticket)

Chapter 184: Chapter 146 Lion Camel Great Saint (seeking monthly ticket)

In the sky, a flying boat was swiftly sailing.

Daoist Master Yu Song had a map laid out in front of him.

It depicted the entirety of Taiwu Dao Mansion.

There were several red dots marked on it.

These red dots were spread across several guardian districts of Taiwu Dao Mansion,

"Father, up to now, there have been traces of the Small Demon Descent Technique appearing in seven locations. There seems to be no pattern at all..."

The black-bearded elder standing behind him spoke.

"Who says there’s no pattern... Look at the position of these seven places, when connected, don’t they resemble the Seven Stars Moon Worship Array from the Lion Camel Ridge Ten Directions Formation Solution?"

Daoist Master Yu Song stated.

"Uh? Father, what does this mean?"

The black-bearded elder asked curiously.

He knew that his father also had some knowledge about arrays.

The Lion Camel Ridge Ten Directions Formation Solution was extremely famous outside, reportedly created by the renowned Lion Camel Great Saint.

"If I’m not mistaken, behind Heavenly Poison Sect is undoubtedly Lion Camel Ridge. They plan to use the Seven Stars Moon Worship Array to concentrate the power of the Small Demon Descent Technique, thereby completing the ultimate demon sacrifice..."

Daoist Master Yu Song said.

"Father, but the area is too vast, Heavenly Poison Sect doesn’t have the capability to set up such a grand array, right?"

The black-bearded elder expressed his disbelief.

These seven cities with traces of the Small Demon Descent Technique spread across various guardian districts of Taiwu Dao Mansion, each distanced possibly thousands of miles apart.

How vast would the coverage of such an array be?

How could Heavenly Poison Sect possibly have this capability?

"Of course, Heavenly Poison Sect does not have this capability, but a lot of array map information of the Human World’s barriers has already been leaked to the Demon Race. The demons that infiltrated Lion Camel Ridge beforehand could totally utilize the Human World’s barrier flaws to set up such a large-scale Seven Stars Moon Worship Array. It’s highly possible."

Daoist Master Yu Song said.

In ancient times, after the human great powers expelled the demons, to construct the grand project that is the Human World, an unknown amount of manpower and resources were expended.

Documents about the Human World’s barriers are top secret for the Human Clan.

Thus, he was also unaware of the positions of various array foundations in the Human World.

Now, the locations where the Small Demon Descent Technique is set up suspiciously resembles the Seven Stars Moon Worship Array... These seven cities’ locations might involve the array foundations of the Human World.

"Father, then what should we do?"

The black-bearded elder spoke.

"If it is really Lion Camel Ridge’s Seven Stars Moon Worship Array, even if we find the source of the Small Demon Descent Technique... it may still be difficult to break this array."

Daoist Master Yu Song sighed deeply, whispering, "I hope it’s not what I think it is."

"Father, we’re approaching Banling City soon."

The black-bearded elder said.

Banling City was the first place where the Small Demon Descent Technique appeared.

....

Baibi City.

Two Heavenly Persons from Divine Sword Sect had waited for two days and finally a Heavenly Person from Taiwu Dao Mansion arrived.

During these two days, they didn’t just do nothing.

The people of Divine Sword Sect sealed off the entire Baibi City, requiring all residents and travelers to stay indoors and not go out.

After all, the eerie phenomenon of ’ghosts using the path’ appeared twice more during this period.

Elder Qing Song discussed the situation in detail with the Heavenly Person from Taiwu Dao Mansion.

"The two possess True Image Level Martial Intent, hence they were able to resist the invasion of demon thoughts during the ghost path borrowing, other people definitely can’t, once they come into contact with the fog, they’ll be affected."

This Heavenly Person said.

"Yu Heavenly Person, what exactly causes this ghosts using the path phenomenon?"

Elder Qing Song clasped his hands and asked.

"It’s normal that you don’t know. This method is called Small Demon Descent Technique, which can summon demon thoughts from beyond the realm, disturbing the mental consciousness of everyone in a certain area, and it’s said that only those at Heavenly Phenomenon Level can be immune..."

The Heavenly Person from Taiwu Dao Mansion solemnly said: "It’s said that there’s an even more terrifying Great Demon Descent Technique... Not to mention coming into contact with the fog, one doesn’t even need to see it, just hearing the sound could turn them into living corpses and one of them."

"How is such a vast range of illusions achieved by Heavenly Poison Sect?"

Elder Qing Song and Elder Cang Yun both found it somewhat unbelievable that it could affect an entire city.

"It has little to do with Heavenly Poison Sect, mainly it concerns the demons... to produce such a huge impact with the Small Demon Descent Technique, the supporting demon behind this must at least be a high-level Demon Saint of Myriad Phenomena."

Yu Heavenly Person showed a grave expression.

Such a high-level Demon Saint, let alone a middle-level Heavenly Person like him, even a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial like his grandfather had to look up to them.

"Yu Heavenly Person, why would such a powerful demon target our area..."

Elder Qing Song couldn’t help but ask.

Ordinary demons were one thing.

Now such a powerful demon was about to appear.

How are people supposed to live?

"Because the Demon Race also needs a stable environment for proliferation."

Yu Heavenly Person said after a moment of silence.

As a Heavenly Person from outside, he deeply understood how peaceful the Human World was.

It’s really been protected too well.

People simply don’t know the dangers and horrors outside.

"Yu Heavenly Person, is there any way to remove the Small Demon Descent Technique?"

Elder Qing Song felt there was a deeper meaning in Yu Heavenly Person’s words, but didn’t delve into it and instead turned to ask the most urgent question of the moment.

"There is a way, we must find the source of the Small Demon Descent Technique. Does your Divine Sword Sect have an Array Master?"

Yu Heavenly Person asked.

"We do have one, but he isn’t very skilled."

Elder Qing Song said.

"First, let your Divine Sword Sect’s Array Master come try and see if they can find the source of the Small Demon Descent Technique. If not, we can only wait for the Dao Master to come, but how long that’ll take, I don’t know."

Yu Heavenly Person said.

He did not bring an Array Master along.

Taiwu Dao Mansion’s Array Master is only his grandfather, Daoist Master Yu Song.

Setting aside that similar situations to Baibi City had occurred elsewhere, the current most pressing issue is the impending demon sacrifice by Heavenly Poison Sect.

The Small Demon Descent Technique that appeared in Baibi City was just a minor matter by comparison.

"Alright."

Elder Qing Song nodded.

Then he had people send a message by flying hawk to the sect, to have an Array Master sent over as soon as possible.

...

Chen Bell Platform.

Li Qian had just finished his bell-striking practice.

Since his cultivation stagnated, he had more free time.

Therefore, he devoted more energy and time to studying the Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution.

As for the comprehension of Heartless Sword Intent, the practice of Great River Sword Qi and Qi Blood Holy Realm, it was still strictly conducted without much change.

Suddenly, he had an idea and summoned the system interface to check the latest updates.

Heavenly Human Realm (Late Stage 99/100).

Chen Bell (Spirit 1642/100000).

Great River Sword Qi (Second Layer 93/100).

Heartless Sword Intent (Heavenly Phenomenon 52/100).

Qi Blood Holy Realm (66/100).

Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution (Minor Accomplishment 69/100).

...

From the panel, his cultivation had been stagnant for a while now, with no progress.

Of course, it didn’t mean he couldn’t practice anymore; he could still enhance his True Qi manipulation and increase the potency of his Martial Arts Secret Techniques through daily practice.

The second layer of Great River Sword Qi had reached a progress of ninety-three.

Once the second layer was completed, it would form a Sword Domain.

Within the Sword Domain, I command.

He was very much looking forward to it.

It was said that reaching the Myriad Phenomena Level in Sword Intent could also evolve into a Sword Domain.

Clearly, the second layer of Great River Sword Qi had a similar effect to Myriad Phenomena Level Sword Intent.

"Perhaps when the progress of the second layer of Great River Sword Qi reaches 100, it could promote the rapid improvement of my Heavenly Phenomenon Level Heartless Sword Intent?"

Li Qian was filled with anticipation.

After the first layer of Great River Sword Qi was perfected, it similarly propelled the speed of the True Image Level Heartless Sword Intent improvement.

Whoosh!

Li Qian jumped down from the bell tower, picking up a piece of cowhide paper with an almost finished Array Map drawn on it.

Whether it could be successful still depended on the actual deployment.

At that moment, a figure descended from the sky and landed on the Chen Bell Platform ground.

"Uh... Greetings, Elder Hou."

Li Qian hastily bowed.

He was quite surprised, this was the first time a Supreme Elder had come to the Chen Bell Platform.

For a Heavenly Person to personally come here, it certainly must be something important.

Could it be that he wanted to request the services of his identity as the man in the black cloak?

"Li Qian, come with me immediately."

Hou Shuwen said.

"Uh... Supreme Elder, may you first tell me what it is about?"

Li Qian asked.

"Baibi City has been troubled by demon traces, needing an Array Master to break the Array, and you are the highest skilled among the Divine Sword Sect’s Array Masters."

Hou Shuwen said.

"What? Demon traces have appeared in Baibi City, I hope it hasn’t caused any harm?"

Li Qian’s expression slightly changed, he quickly said.

Previously his niece, Li Yuwei, had come to visit, mentioning the old man’s seventieth grand birthday.

He had just asked Li Yuwei to bring some things back.

"Don’t worry, your Li Family is doing well."

Hou Shuwen smiled.

"That’s good."

Li Qian nodded and slightly relaxed.

Although he hadn’t been back for a long time... he definitely did not want to see anything go wrong with the Li Family.

Then he whistled.

Following an eagle’s cry, Xiao Hei flew over and landed in front of Li Qian.

"This eagle of yours is well-trained."

Hou Shuwen praised.

Riding a flying bird was extremely rare in the entire Grand Chang.

Yet such a precious Abnormal Bird was raised by Li Qian.

Even if he couldn’t become a Heavenly Person, being able to ride an eagle and fly would certainly make many people jealous.

"Supreme Elder, riding an eagle hardly compares to a Heavenly Person soaring through the sky."

Li Qian laughed.

"I believe with your talent, becoming a Heavenly Person in the future is not an issue."

Hou Shuwen said.

This was the disciple greatly valued by that old ancestor.

He even suspected that the ability to raise this Abnormal Bird was directly related to the old ancestor.

"Then I’ll take the Supreme Elder’s auspicious words."

Li Qian said with a smile.

Then, his figure moved, and he jumped onto Xiao Hei’s back.

With an eagle cry, Xiao Hei unfolded its huge wings and soared up, heading towards the azure sky.

Seeing this scene, Supreme Elder Hou Shuwen smiled slightly and then leaped up into the air, following him.

Soon, the two men and the eagle disappeared from view.

Bai Yun and Chai Shao looked on with envy.

They too wished to experience the feeling of eagle riding, but Xiao Hei was too proud. They couldn’t even touch it without Xiao Hei pecking at them harshly.
