After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 221 Heavenly Eye
The Four Phases Sword Sect

Qi Sheng sat firmly in the center of the army, unmoved by any external influences.

His sect currently has multiple safeguards—

The 'Ancestor Team' is only the first layer among them.

In addition, there is the 'Great Evolution Array Diagram', the 'Zeding Demon Beast', and the 'Demon Gun'. These three items alone can defeat even peak or supreme masters. When combined, they may even be able to fight against masters of the Supreme level. Qi Sheng has many trump cards and is full of confidence.

Each month, 'Ze Ding' produces one portion of 'Gui Water Essence'. One portion of essence can extend one's life by ten years. Therefore, theoretically, Qi Sheng can use this Gui Water Essence to recruit a full 120 ancestral figures whose lifespans are about to end. At the very least, they are all top experts, and some can even be promoted to the peak level in the later stages, forming an extremely powerful 'ancestral team'.

At that time, the Four Symbols Sword Sect's foundation was not necessarily inferior to that of the Five Barbarian Sects.

But the most fundamental thing is one's own strength.

Qi Sheng devoted himself to arduous cultivation.

Gods keep descending.

Keep working hard.

Both his cultivation level and combat strength have improved by leaps and bounds.

however.

As Qi Sheng's cultivation level increased, another drawback gradually emerged: the difficulty for ordinary people, martial artists, and Taoists in the Heavenly Demon Realm to call upon his true name and invite him to descend to earth also increased dramatically.

Qi Sheng's cultivation was higher, placing a great burden on those who sought divine intervention.

In the past, Qi Sheng could descend to the mortal realm in his true form and unleash his full power. However, as the gap between him and the one who summoned the gods widened, he could no longer descend in his true form and could only reduce his power to a fraction of his former strength.

Or it could be a divine intervention.

Or project and display.

Or lend out ritual implements.

Or cast a spell.

A sudden surge in spiritual power brings temporary pleasure, but inviting the gods down leads to a fiery death.

This was something Qi Sheng hadn't expected.

This is also the fundamental reason why, despite his combat strength improving again and again, he has not been able to increase the number of daily merits he has earned.

Among all the disadvantages, there is one advantage: when Qi Sheng is dealing with the numerous requests for divine intervention from the Heavenly Demon Realm, he neither needs nor can he truly descend to the mortal realm. He can remain in the Four Symbols Sword Sect to comprehend the supreme treasure, the Ze Ding. As for divine intervention, he only needs to allocate a portion of his power to descend to the mortal realm.

Or magic power.

Or magic.

Or it could be a ritual implement.

Qi Sheng has everything he needs. Even if his true form cannot go down, it is enough to help the one who invites the gods deal with many situations and fight against many demons and monsters.

Prescribe the right medicine.

The medicine cures the disease.

in this way.

'Success' increases.

Qi Sheng's Taoist cultivation and magical skills are also increasing, and everything is getting better.

just.

The five supreme masters, who were expected to arrive quickly to seize the treasure, have yet to arrive.

One day, two days.

One month, two months.

The only forces that came to attack the Four Symbols Sword Sect were Wu Kehua, Qi Sanniang, and other top-tier warriors below the level of invincibility, but they were unable to break through the sect's four lines of defense.

The area within a thousand miles of Changwei Mountain was transformed into a vast expanse of water, with towering waves.

The Four Phases Sword Sect and these invading experts were like Mount Changwei and a towering wave, no matter how they were impacted, they remained unmoved. On the contrary, Qi Sheng made occasional moves, forcing back and severely injuring many experts, including Wu Kehua and Qi Sanniang, the first experts from the Netherworld Sect to arrive.

As the gods continue to descend.

With continued hard work.

As Qi Sheng's "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique" continues to improve, he is rapidly and steadily advancing towards peak combat power, gradually becoming the fifth line of defense for the Four Symbols Sword Sect.

The foundation is becoming more and more solid!

His prestige is soaring!

As the four powerful figures from all directions continued to attack, Qi Sheng and the Four Phases Sword Sect grew stronger day by day, reaching their zenith.

In contrast, the five sects of the Barbarian Frontier not only did not produce any Supreme Masters, but even the experts within their sects gradually retreated from all directions, becoming increasingly low-key.

Those who were observant noticed this, but were unaware of the underlying reasons. Qi Sheng, who was in charge of the Four Symbols Sword Sect, was in effect trapped within it as well, yet he was oblivious to the unusual situation within the Five Sects.

but.

This day.

Just as Qi Sheng was comprehending the Ze Ding and cultivating the Tongtian Three Diagrams, his physique seemed to have reached a critical point. The immense power within him had nowhere to go, and finally, it swelled up between his eyebrows, and ten thousand golden rays burst forth, opening up a vertical eye.

With eyes wide open, one can see in all directions as if holding a palm.

Upon seeing this, they were immediately shocked.

"hiss!"

"That is--"

Qi Sheng tensed up, his mind tightening. He saw countless ferocious and terrifying monsters standing in the cave, both inside and outside, in the sky and on the ground, densely packed and covering the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see.

In a trance.

Qi Sheng seemed to have arrived in a world where only demons and monsters existed, as if he were the odd one out here.

Looking around, there are—

A headless giant, tens of feet tall.

It is a monster that looks like a horse, with a white head and tiger-like stripes.

It looks like a raccoon dog but has long, human-like hair.

These monsters are of various shapes and deformities, seemingly pieced together from different parts of the most common animals in the world.

The quantity is extremely large.

But the two most numerous species were humanoids—

One type is 'one head and three bodies', meaning it has one head but three bodies, and is often accompanied by four kinds of wild beasts: leopard, tiger, bear, and bear-man.

One type is 'one body with three heads', meaning one body with three heads, and they are often accompanied by four kinds of birds of prey: white cranes, bluebirds, golden eagles, and human-faced eagles.

Where did these monsters come from?

Qi Sheng looked at the endless, overwhelming monsters and felt his scalp tingle: "Could it be that the Five Sects of the Barbarian Frontier have finally made their move?"

But what kind of tactic is this?
They were able to ignore the Four Symbols Sword Sect's Great Evolution Array Diagram and enter directly, filling all directions with endless power.

What's going on?
Why was there no attack?

"Is it still brewing?"

This surprise was no small matter.

Qi Sheng's first thought was of the Five Sects of the Barbarian Frontier. It was the Three Diagrams of Heaven that sensed the crisis and opened his Heavenly Eye, allowing him to see in advance what tricks the Supreme Elders of the Five Sects were up to by delaying their arrival.

But upon closer inspection, it doesn't quite look like it.

The monsters seemed not to see Qi Sheng at all, wandering around on their own. Qi Sheng even saw some monsters walk through the bodies of the disciples of the Four Symbols Sword Sect without any contact or collision.

wrong.

It wasn't a monster that walked through a person's body.

Instead, these monsters seem to be ethereal, allowing people to walk through their bodies.

"eccentric!"

With a thought, Qi Sheng flashed to the outside of the Four Symbols Sword Sect's mountain gate. Looking around, he saw that the mountain gate was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the surrounding mountains and ridges were filled with these monsters, roaming about endlessly.

"What exactly is it?"

Qi Sheng opened his Heavenly Eye and looked around, hoping to find some flaws.

Suddenly, he met the eyes of a monster resembling an octopus with three lion heads. Their nine eyes locked, and in that instant, a murmur seemed to echo in Qi Sheng's mind. He had never heard that language before, but vaguely understood that the monster was saying—

"I see you!"

next moment.

boom!
The terrifying, monstrous eight-clawed lion-headed creature materialized directly from the void, dispelling the sense of illusion and creating an overwhelming sense of realism.

storm!

Sweep!

The true form has arrived!
