Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 405 - 250 Tianlan Immortal Mansion
Since the rebuilding of Heavenly Sword Manor, Lin Qingping visits every two or three years to organize the latest situation and major events of the Heavenly Spring Gobi with Li Qian.
After Golden Moon Territory and East Pillar Royal Mansion reclaimed the Netherworld Palace’s territory, two new forces quickly emerged.
Needless to say, it was certainly the Golden Moon Territory and East Pillar Royal Mansion pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Heavenly Sword Manor has maintained friendly relations with neighboring forces, consolidating its territory internally, resulting in a smooth and stable situation over the past decade.
Lin Qingping knows, however, that all of this is inseparable from the support of Daoist Qian Yuan.
The territory occupied by Heavenly Sword Manor is not only large but also rich in various resources on the Heavenly Spring Gobi, something normally impossible to protect without sufficient strength.
Yet many forces covet it but do not dare to act rashly.
"Daoist Qian Yuan, the Heavenly Spring Gobi has been quite unstable recently. Several forces have had relatively large-scale conflicts, and based on my intelligence, it seems those three forces are behind them."
Lin Qingping said.
"Hasn’t the Heavenly Spring Gobi always been rife with conflict? Moreover, those three forces have always had a strong presence here."
Li Qian smiled.
"The past few years have felt different."
Lin Qingping shook her head and said, "Previously, the Golden Moon Territory and East Pillar Royal Mansion took the initiative to reclaim the Netherworld Palace’s territory... Daoist Qian Yuan, don’t you find it odd? Those three forces never stepped in before this."
"Hmm, it is indeed a bit strange. Heavenly Sword Manor should try to stay neutral and not get easily involved."
Li Qian nodded.
The previous rebuilding ceremony of Heavenly Sword Manor, with delegates from the Golden Moon Territory and East Pillar Royal Mansion attending, was indeed odd.
Normally, the Heavenly Spring Gobi serves as a buffer zone established by the three major forces to avoid direct conflict.
But now it seems there are signs of breaking this constraint.
After Lin Qingping left, the Daoist Temple returned to calm.
Li Qian opened the system interface, looking at the refining information for the Chen Bell, with less than three years left.
It seems once the Return to Void ends next, the Chen Bell will be able to upgrade.
At that moment, he was filled with anticipation.
Only he thought of his fifth disciple Yang Fan and Wen Wan, who still hadn’t returned, although they were still alive, their situation was unknown.
Three months later.
Li Qian entered the Return to Void.
....
Eternal Dynasty.
Langhuan Blessed Land.
As one of the nine great blessed lands of the Longevity Realm, it possesses the richest and purest Five Elements Primordial Qi in the world.
There is even a peculiar Spirit Wood here.
The Spirit Wood, inherently able to communicate with the Upper Realm, absorbs Spiritual Energy.
Blessed Lands are said to be the closest places to the Upper Realm.
Throughout history, those reaching the limits of the Longevity Realm seeking to ascend to the Upper Realm require the help of the Blessed Land.
If outside the Blessed Land, it’s nearly impossible to open the Heavenly Gate, to ascend to the Upper Realm.
At this moment, beneath a purple bamboo Spirit Wood sat a white-haired figure, yet his visage appeared very young.
A young man in purple stood in front with a respectful expression.
The white-haired figure opened his eyes, eyes seeming to see through all worldly things, aged and profound.
"There’s only about a few years left until the Tianlan Immortal Mansion opens, are you prepared?"
The white-haired figure asked.
"Royal Ancestor, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time."
The purple-clad youth’s eyes carried a confidence that looked down on the world.
The Tianlan Immortal Mansion was an Immortal Fate left by a great being who ascended to the Upper Realm millions of years ago for the beings of the Longevity Realm.
It appears only once every tens of thousands of years. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Every appearance occurs in a different place.
Once it vanishes, it cannot be found again.
As time progresses, signs indicating the emergence of the Tianlan Immortal Mansion become more frequent.
This time, the appearance is directed at the Heavenly Spring Gobi.
Yet the Heavenly Spring Gobi is quite special.
Being within the radiation scope of the Black Absolute Desert, any strong one above the fifty steps of the Returning Void Longevity Realm will be affected by the Black Absolute Desert.
Consequently, within the Heavenly Spring Gobi, there are basically no Returning Void Longevity Realm individuals above fifty steps entering.
This time, with the emergence of the Tianlan Immortal Mansion within the Heavenly Spring Gobi, it is bound to cause a chain reaction.
Therefore, various forces began early arrangements within the Heavenly Spring Gobi.
"This time involves quite a bit of risk; although we’ve prepared in advance, if discovered by the Black Extreme Palace, consequences would be unimaginable."
The white-haired figure sighed.
Even with supreme powers like the Eternal Dynasty, Great Moon Empire, and Golden Demon Court, which tremble the Longevity Realm, fear still certain elements... and the Black Extreme Palace is one such terrifying and mysterious entity.
If not for the Tianlan Immortal Mansion’s opening, the major superpowers wouldn’t dare openly extending their reach to the Heavenly Spring Gobi.
...
Yellow Sand World.
Oasis Camp.
Previously razed to the ground, after some time of restoration, it has almost fully recovered.
Li Qian sat cross-legged, ate some dry meat, then began to cultivate.
After a while, he opened his eyes, showing a hint of fatigue, then rose to leave the wooden hut.
"Daoist Qian Yuan."
"Daoist Qian Yuan."
...
The watchers outside quickly stood and greeted Li Qian as he came out.
Since Li Qian slew the Scorpion Monster and saved the Oasis Camp, his status within the camp has soared, becoming its de facto leader.
However, Li Qian rarely manages things, leaving Tuo Ba and Hong Ye in charge.
Li Qian nodded, looking at Tuo Ba.
He saw Tuo Ba was polishing a bone sword.
