The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 010

Chapter 010 Eternal Devil Abyss
The first sentence of the opening chapter was: “Refining refined qi, refining qi, refining spirit, refining spirit, returning to the void, refining the void and combining dao.” This sentence is the general outline of cultivation methods in the world.

After that, there was the training content and running route of the Eight Desolate Demon Subduing Technique. Li Qing had already learned the basics of cultivation, so he could understand the contents of this cultivation technique. After careful study, he immediately began to cultivate.

He slowly absorbed the surrounding Spiritual Qi into his body according to the method described above. He felt a trace of coolness in his meridians. Then, he circulated along the meridians for a long time according to a specific route. In the end, this strand of Spiritual Qi turned into a trace of pure True Qi and merged into his dantian.

The whole process went very smoothly. Li Qing couldn’t help but reveal a smile and was very happy in his heart.

…

A few days later, his cultivation had already entered the right track, but his cultivation speed was not fast. Cultivation at the Houtian realm was a water-grinding martial art that required diligent cultivation day after day.

According to the introductory manual, outer sect disciples received a certain amount of resources every month. These resources could be used to speed up cultivation. He hadn’t received it this month, so he went to the miscellaneous services department to collect the resources for this month.

It was a spirit stone and a bottle of pills. There were three Qi Nourishing Pills in this bottle.

Spiritual stones and medicinal pills were supplementary items for cultivation and were extremely precious. With these things, Li Qing’s cultivation speed was indeed much faster. However, these resources were too few, and he quickly ran out of them.

“Looks like I still have to do a sect mission to get paid.” He felt helpless. As an outer sect disciple, he had to support himself.

It seemed like there was an exchange between outer sect disciples and sects. If it was an inner sect disciple, there was no need to do anything, there would be enough cultivation resources to use.

Thus, he walked out of the room and went to the mission hall.

Li Qing walked into the main hall and saw that there were a lot of signboards with many tasks written on them. After completing the tasks, he could obtain contribution points and then exchange them for cultivation needs.

When ordinary disciples first entered the sect, they would receive some relatively simple tasks, such as guarding the herb garden, feeding spirit beasts, cleaning the palace, and so on.

‘”Eh, this is” Li Qing carefully looked at it for a while and discovered a mission. The mission was to hand over the inner core of the demonic beast. There was no limit to the number of pills.

“Demonic Beast Inner Pills, I’ve saved quite a bit.” He had lived in the Lianyun Mountain Range for a few years and had killed quite a few demonic beasts. Normally, he would put away the inner core. The amount was quite a lot. Now, it was just the right time to hand it over.

Thus, he walked over to the deacon disciple in the hall and asked, “Senior Brother, is there no limit to the number of quests you can hand over to the Demonic Beast Inner Core? How many contribution points can you earn per quest?”

The deacon said, “This depends on the specific situation. The contribution points of each type of demonic beast inner core are different.” After he finished speaking, he sized up Li Qing for a while and shook his head, “Your cultivation is too low. Demonic beasts are very powerful. I suggest you take a simpler mission to avoid losing your life in vain.”

Li Qing did not explain. He only smiled and took out more than 30 different kinds of inner pills from the bag and placed them on the table.

“Help me see how much these inner pills are worth?”

The deacon was stunned. He looked at the dazzling array of inner pills in front of him and blurted out, “So many!” After he finished speaking, his face couldn’t help but feel ashamed. This was a mistake. Who would have thought that this young man who didn’t show any strength would actually be able to take out so many inner pills?

Generally speaking, most outer sect disciples weren’t strong enough to obtain so many inner cores. Only inner sect disciples could do so. It was truly unimaginable for Li Qing to be able to take out so many demonic beast inner pills.

Li Qing said, “Those that have been saved for a few years, can you hand them all over for contribution points?”

“Of course!” The deacon did not inquire about the source. He counted the number and said, “There are a total of 23 low-tier inner pills and 11 middle-tier inner pills. The total amount can be exchanged for 4,500 contribution points.”

“So many!” This time, it was Li Qing’s turn to be shocked. This point was too easy, wasn’t it? It was truly a pleasant surprise. With so many contribution points, you can exchange for a lot of cultivation resources. One had to know that a spirit stone could only be exchanged for thirty contribution points.

“I didn’t expect these demonic beast inner cores to be so valuable. Fortunately, they were preserved earlier.” Actually, he knew that the inner core was the most precious part of the demonic beast, so he carefully kept it. However, he didn’t know what use it had. He didn’t expect that it would finally come in handy today.

“Let’s just go hunt demonic beasts in the future.” He thought to himself. However, on second thought, the Eight Desolate Mountain Range was located in the center of the Lianyun Mountain Range. The demonic beasts here were extremely powerful and were surrounded by dangers. The risks were too great. Perhaps it would not work yet.

Next, he handed over all the inner pills and obtained 4,500 contribution points. Then, he exchanged them for ten spirit stones and three bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills. He kept the remaining contribution points until he needed them.

He didn’t need to worry about resources anymore for a short time, but after much thought, he finally received a mission-a patrol mission, very simple.

Actually, he had another purpose in accepting this mission. After arriving in Flaming Sun Peak for so long, he had not been familiar with this place. Now, taking advantage of this mission, he could familiarize himself with the surroundings.

Of course, the main purpose was to see if he could find the thing that Skyblade had been longing for. This was his original purpose in coming to the Eight Desolate Mountains, and he did not forget it.

After accepting the mission, he had to report to the deacon hall first, and then set off with the patrol.

He waited in the deacon hall for a while. Soon, the rest of the patrol team arrived. Five people in a group. The captain gave the order and set off.

Li Qing quickly got familiar with the patrol team. These people had already entered the sect for a year or two, so they were naturally very familiar with the surroundings. Along the way, Li Qing saw many unfamiliar places and asked them.

The Flaming Sun Peak was very big. After circling for half a circle, they arrived at the other side of the mountain peak. This side belonged to the inner side of Yan Yang Peak.

The eight mountain peaks of the Eight Desolate Mountains formed a huge circle. The so-called inner side was actually the side near the center of the circle. From there, you can see the scenery in the middle.

As he walked inward, the Heavenly Saber in Li Qing’s hand suddenly trembled. It was extremely intense and continued. He was surprised, but he remained calm on the surface.

After carefully sensing it, the direction the Heavenly Saber was pointing at was clearly the center of the circle formed by the eight mountain peaks.

Li Qing had never been here before. Normally, this place was covered in clouds and mist, so he couldn’t see it clearly. Therefore, he didn’t know what kind of scenery there was in the center of the eight peaks.

Curious, he couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Brother, the eight peaks have formed a circle. I wonder what is going on in the middle of this circle?”

The others looked at each other with strange expressions. The captain said, “Looks like you haven’t seen it yet. It’s a very special place. Let’s show you.”

Thus, they took Li Qing to the center. After a while, they climbed a cliff. It was very spacious and condescending. The scenery of the eight peaks was clear.

Li Qing walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, his heart trembling!

The center of the circle formed by the eight peaks was actually a bottomless black hole!

This black hole was extremely strange. It didn’t have any light. It seemed to have absorbed all of the light. It was pitch-black and completely invisible.

He only glanced at it and his heart started to tremble. He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out all over his body.

“What’s going on? I just glanced at it. Why do I feel such a terrifying sensation?” He was not a coward, but he was trembling slightly at this moment, as if an ant had sensed the pressure of a heavenly deity.

He didn’t dare to look any further. He turned around and asked, “What kind of place is this? Why did I feel something so terrifying just by looking at it?”

“This is the Eternal Demon Abyss. We feel the same way. This is a very terrifying place.”

“Eternal Devil Abyss” Li Qing muttered to himself, “Could it be that there is a peerless fiend suppressing under this black hole?”

All of a sudden, his body’s cold hair stood firm, and a palpitating sensation came from his heart. His heart was pounding, and the air seemed to become extremely oppressive. He was unable to breathe, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

“There’s something in the black hole!” He shouted and hurriedly retreated. He felt as if something in the black hole had awakened, as if there was a gaze staring at him.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the black hole, and a stream of gas actually spurted out from it. The gas was purple and golden. It crossed and rushed up like a spiral, piercing straight into the clouds, dyeing the sky purple and golden.

Everyone was shocked and retreated until they couldn’t see the black hole. Li Qing looked at the purple and golden gas in the sky and was extremely shocked.

“Purple …” He looked at the familiar color. Wasn’t this the color of the Heavenly Saber? However, this gas was still mixed with gold.

The Heavenly Saber in his hand was actually constantly buzzing and shaking, as if it was about to escape and fly into the black hole. He grabbed the Heavenly Saber tightly, sweat dripping down his forehead. He knew that if he let go, he might lose his Heavenly Saber forever.

The gas gushed for fifteen minutes before it subsided. The Heavenly Saber slowly calmed down.

“Looks like the thing I’m looking for is inside the black hole.” The answer was already on the verge of being revealed, and it was clear that this was very likely the case. His face was a little pale, as if he was frightened.

The captain patted Li Qing on the shoulder and smiled, “Are you scared? Don’t worry, nothing will happen. The sky is falling and there is a tall one on top. Let’s not worry about it. Let’s go, let’s continue patrolling.”

Li Qing heaved a long sigh of relief, took a deep look at the location of the black hole, and then turned to follow the large army. The group of five left and continued to patrol around Flaming Sun Peak.

After finishing today’s task, Li Qing returned to his own courtyard and sat quietly in his chair. He remained motionless for a long time, and his thoughts were hard to calm down.

“If that thing is really inside the black hole, I’m afraid it won’t be able to be taken out.” Such a terrifying black hole, he didn’t want to die in vain.

He glanced at Skyblade and sighed.
