Chapter 215: Chapter 164 I Am a Transcender (Requesting monthly tickets)
"Senior, let me first give you a detailed account of the situation outside."
The green-robed man, Senior Brother Wang, knew that convincing this Martial Saint wouldn’t be so simple.
The other party had become a Martial Saint in the Human World without anyone’s knowledge before, which must mean he is a person who keeps a low profile and exercises caution; such a person has a steadfast nature and would not simply trust one-sided words.
Only reason and emotion could persuade him.
"Then speak your piece."
Li Qian said.
The information he had received from Daoist Master Yu Song was still quite rudimentary.
Therefore, Senior Brother Wang began to elaborately explain about the formation of the Martial Alliance, the menace of demons to the Human Clan, the internal disputes of the Alliance, and the state of the barriers surrounding the Human World.
"So you mean to say, you hope that this old man can buy time for your Dao Sect’s Mo Li Great Saint to make a breakthrough to Supreme Saint and gain time?"
Li Qian thought for a moment before speaking.
"Yes, senior, as long as the senior can clear the demonic forces from the Human World, you will be highly honored for your great contribution; in return, our Dao Sect will arrange an elder position for you."
Senior Brother Wang said.
Being an elder within the Dao Sect is no small matter; usually only highly meritorious top-level Martial Saints or Great Saints are qualified for such a position.
"What you’ve said is all without proof, and moreover, the risks are far too great."
Li Qian commented indifferently.
If he truly were to exterminate all demonic forces in the Human World, he would offend a multitude of Demon Saints, becoming a thorn in the side of the Demon Race, whom they would want to eliminate swiftly.
Once the barriers of the Human World collapse completely, wouldn’t he be doomed?
He could lurk in the shadows to eliminate demons and safeguard the safety of the Human Clan in some region, but he was definitely unwilling to come out and act as the guardian for the entire Human World.
How vast was the entire Human World?
The Sheep Horn Domain alone contained ten nations.
There were eight domains in the whole Human World, with the Sheep Horn Domain being under the control of the Dao Sect, and other domains also controlled by various powers within the Martial Alliance.
"Senior, with your strength, clearing the demonic forces from the Human World should be a walk in the park, so what risk are you talking about?"
Senior Brother Wang asked, puzzled.
"Heh heh... I might clean up the demonic forces in Chang Country, but as for the rest... please forgive this old man for being unable to help."
Li Qian chuckled, then flickered away, vanishing from sight.
Even if the barriers of the Human World eventually collapse, as long as the Martial Alliance stands at the forefront, and he hides in the shadows, not being overt, he should have no trouble keeping himself safe.
Don’t call him selfish.
He is, after all, a transcender, and his sense of belonging to this world is not so strong.
If his own safety were really at stake, he could abandon the Divine Sword Sect and flee without a wrinkle of his brow.
As long as he remains without attachments, he is invincible.
When Senior Brother Wang asked a few more questions without getting a response, he felt very disappointed, knowing that the Martial Saint had left.
He understood what the other was concerned about.
But the thing is, compared with the safety and security of the Human World, shouldn’t one put life and death aside?
If everyone only looked out for themselves, the Human Clan in this world would probably have perished long ago.
He felt that this senior was somewhat selfish.
...
Li Qian returned to the Chen Bell Platform and saw that his second disciple, Bai Yun, had returned.
In the past two years, Bai Yun had begun to handle affairs for the Divine Sword Sect.
"Master."
Bai Yun hurried forward to pay her respects.
"Eh, you’ve broken through to Grandmaster?"
Li Qian swept his spiritual sense over her and sensed the changes in Bai Yun, expressing surprise.
"Master, I’ve only just made the breakthrough."
Bai Yun said with a giggly smile.
Senior Brother Chai had only just broken through to Innate, whereas she had already become a Grandmaster.
She felt that giving up the cultivation of the Pure Sword Body was the wisest decision she had made.
"Don’t be arrogant, Chai Shao will catch up with you in no more than five years."
Li Qian tapped Bai Yun’s forehead with a light knock, saying with a smile.
"That’s impossible. How could Senior Brother Chai catch up to me within five years?"
Bai Yun didn’t quite believe it.
It had taken her over seven years to cultivate to the realm of Grandmaster, a pace that, if set at the Divine Sword Sect, would definitely be astonishing.
Chai Shao was over seven years behind her; how could he possibly catch up within five years?
After all, five years later, her cultivation realm would undoubtedly be even higher.
Li Qian smiled noncommittally and said nothing; in fact, his estimate of five years was conservative.
Having cultivated to Perfect Innate, Chai Shao’s root bone talent had reached the Treasure Light level, and his cultivation speed was far beyond what Bai Yun could compare with.
At this moment, Master Zhou Buping walked down from the back mountain with his hands behind his back.
Compared to a few years ago, Zhou Buping looked much older.
After all, he was a man of over a hundred thirty years of age.
This was even after taking a special elixir provided by Li Qian and recovering some of his Lifebound Essence Qi.
These years, Zhou Buping had not ceased his cultivation practices; though close to the Chen Bell... he had only reached the Intermediate Grandmaster level, and to reach the Top Grandmaster, let alone the higher realm of Heavenly Person, was utterly impossible.
However, Zhou Buping had a good attitude and did not mind these things.
Given that his lineage within the Divine Sword Sect had established itself, and his disciple had become a Heavenly Person, he felt no regrets whatsoever.
"There are at most ten years left..."
Li Qian, sensing the vitality of his master, already had a premonition.
Although he is a Martial Saint, he has no means of prolonging life.
....
Li Qian still went to Lion Camel Demon City to study the array every few days.
That newly appointed Taiwu Dao Master actually often guarded outside the Lion Camel Demon City, seemingly also trying to break the formation.
Li Qian secretly observed this person’s Breaking Formation Method, which could only be described as very ordinary, probably just a hobby.
"Senior, I know you must still be here, wanting to solve the formation here."
One day, Senior Brother Wang suddenly spoke, "This formation is left by the Lion Camel Ridge in the Demon Realm during Ancient Times... it comes from the Lion Camel Ridge Ten Directions Formation Solution. I happen to have some materials on the Lion Camel Ridge Ten Directions Formation Solution, which may be of help to Senior."
The voice reached inside the Lion Camel Demon City.
In fact, he wasn’t sure if the Martial Saint senior was there or not; he just wanted to give it a try.
The last time he met that senior here, it was definitely not by chance.
So he still wanted to try convincing this senior.
"Besides, I also have a copy of the Taishan Formation Record from the Array Sect."
Senior Brother Wang waited for a moment without response, so he continued speaking.
"Show it to me."
Li Qian’s voice suddenly rose in Senior Brother Wang’s ear.
Senior Brother Wang was overjoyed, he swiped his wrist where a bracelet was worn, and two Jade Scrolls appeared in his palm, then he threw them out.
Suddenly, an invisible force emerged from the mist, wrapping around the two Jade Scrolls and they vanished.
In the Lion Camel Demon City, Li Qian looked at the two Jade Scrolls in his hand.
Originally, he didn’t want to bother with this person, but the fact that the other party not only had information on the Lion Camel Ridge Ten Directions Array Solution but also the Taishan Formation Record made him unable to sit still.
The reason he couldn’t break the formation of the Lion Camel Demon City now was because his own Array mastery wasn’t sufficient.
Li Qian began to explore the Jade Scrolls with his Spiritual Sense.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, revealing a smile on his face.
All good stuff.
There’s no need to mention the Taishan Formation Record; he had some understanding of it in the Divine Sword Sect’s Array Valley, but it was incomplete, severely fragmented.
The information in this Jade Scroll was more complete.
Looking at the core part of this Taishan Formation Record, it’s also not a complete version, probably a simplified version, or just a part of it.
After all, the Taishan Formation Record, with its unique style of formation system, is no trivial matter. It’s definitely only accessible and mastered by the core of the Array Sect. It’s not likely that a complete version would be found outside.
Even so, this Taishan Formation Record still benefited him greatly.
His approach to formation mastery was now completely opened.
As for the other Jade Scroll on the Lion Camel Ridge Ten Directions Array Solution, the information was more chaotic and fragmented, but it was substantial, seemingly a compilation by high-level Human Clan Array Masters based on various understandings and studies of the Lion Camel Ridge Formation.
Thus, Li Qian left the Lion Camel Demon City quietly and returned to the Chen Bell Platform to study the content of these two Jade Scrolls thoroughly.
Senior Brother Wang waited for a long time and did not receive a response from the senior, so he had to leave disappointed.
For several months, Li Qian did not go to the Lion Camel Demon City, instead, he hid in the Chen Bell Platform studying the information from the two Jade Scrolls.
This day, Li Qian opened his eyes, emerging from his study of formations, and exhaled deeply.
Studying formations for a long time was also extremely consuming of the mind and spirit.
Suddenly, with a thought, he summoned the system interface to check the latest information.
When his gaze fell on the formation category, to his surprise, there had been a change.
It was no longer Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution (Great Success 70/100).
But now it was simply Array (Great Success 8/100).
"Is this because I studied the Taishan Formation Record?"
Li Qian was inwardly moved.
He had also studied the incomplete version of the Taishan Formation Record from the Divine Sword Sect before.
The Array Masters in the Array Valley couldn’t even make a true entrance to the Array, which shows how fragmented it was.
Therefore, that incomplete version of the Taishan Formation Record didn’t have much impact on his Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution, at most it added a bit of Array knowledge background.
But this time was different.
He had obtained a fairly complete set of the Taishan Formation Record, thereby completing the entry-level, which had a significant impact on his foundation in Array mastery.
His current mastery in Arrays was no longer just the simple Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution; it also involved the Taishan Formation Record system.
When night fell, Li Qian left the Chen Bell Platform and headed to the Lion Camel Demon City.
That Taiwu Dao Master was also there.
Could it be that he had been guarding here for these few months?
Li Qian couldn’t be bothered with this person and entered the Lion Camel Demon City to continue studying the Great Array.
After several attempts, although Li Qian’s Array mastery had fallen from Great Success 70 to Great Success 8, he gained a deeper understanding of the Great Array in the Lion Camel Demon City, enabling him to find more pathways amidst the Array Formation Fluctuations.
Accompanied by a thunderous boom, a previously impregnable area was broken through by Li Qian, who then charged forward and arrived in front of a Solid Array Pile.
"It seems that breaking through this Great Array holds some hope after all."
Li Qian’s face showed a smile.
Outside, the Taiwu Dao Master, Senior Brother Wang, keenly sensed the Primordial Qi fluctuations within the Lion Camel Demon City and immediately realized that it must be that Martial Saint senior breaking the formation.
"This senior is not easy to talk to."
Senior Brother Wang sighed.
Although within the Chang Country territory demon traces were rare and the demon catastrophes had not spread, other countries in the Sheep Horn Domain were becoming increasingly serious.
"Give me a map of the demon catastrophe areas around Chang Country."
Suddenly, an old voice sounded in Senior Brother Wang’s ear.
Overjoyed, Senior Brother Wang quickly took out a folded map from the bracelet, which had all the demon catastrophe outbreaks points in the Sheep Horn Domain.
After Li Qian took the map, he disappeared without a trace.
"This senior is ultimately not a heartless person."
Senior Brother Wang was filled with emotion.
