My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1470 - 543: Inheritance

At that time, even Elder Mei Xiao was still quite inexperienced.

Elders Ding Xiu and Xu Nian were both in the early stages of their cultivation.

They were oppressed by the cultivators, hence they embarked on the path of cultivation.

But...

The previous scene seemed not to be some kind of trial, but simply a way to show past events.

What was the purpose of doing this?

The scene before Chen Sansi twisted again. A few breaths later, everything returned to normal, and he was back in front of the Wanluo Palace's hall.

"Strange."

With caution in his heart, he gripped the long spear and carefully stepped over the threshold.

Inside the grand hall, it was desolate. The white jade stone slabs, which should have been rich with spiritual energy, were covered in dust, and the eternal lamps had long lost their brightness.

The vast hall was deathly silent.

In the center was placed a huge incense burner, next to it an unremarkable wooden box. Beyond that, there was nothing else.

Chen Sansi carefully examined it, confirming that the incense burner was certainly not a treasure, leaving only the wooden box next to it. As he was about to reach for it, a silent figure appeared in the corner of his eye.

He quickly turned to look and was immediately taken aback.

Mei Xiao's face carried a faint smile: "We meet again."

"I pay respects to Mr. Mei."

Chen Sansi lowered his spear and bowed.

Mei Xiao's voice was warm, like a spring breeze, refreshing and invigorating: "More than a thousand years have passed, yet unexpectedly, I have the chance to reunite with a young friend here. It shows that you have overcome many obstacles along your journey, without losing your original intention despite the hardships you faced. It's rare, truly rare."

"Mr. Mei."

Chen Sansi candidly said, "I came this time to take away the inheritance rumored to be yours, which should include the Ten Thousand Laws Forbidden and the Luoxiao Sect's sect treasure."

"They're all here."

Mei Xiao glanced at the wooden box on the ground: "Feel free to take it."

"The illusion just now,"

while picking up the wooden box, Chen Sansi asked: "Was it a trial or was it..."

"It wasn't for you to see."

Mei Xiao shook his head: "Take your things and leave. Someone has been following you all along."

"Someone's following me?"

Chen Sansi's heart trembled.

It seems.

His intuition was indeed correct.

"Sir, there's one more thing."

Chen Sansi hurriedly spoke of the Demon Seed, asking: "What exactly is the Demon Seed? Is it ultimately good or bad for this world?"

"I haven't heard of the Demon Seed."

Mei Xiao calmly said: "It seems to be something created by people outside after my death. As for whether it is good or bad, you should have your own judgment."

"Sir, are you now a remnant soul?"

Chen Sansi asked: "Was what my master Sun Xiangzong saw also a remnant soul?"

"To be precise, it's a remnant thought."

Mei Xiao informed: "I found many people, hoping they could complete my unfinished business. But they either perished mid-way or lost their original intention. After tens of thousands of years, only you have stood here in the end.

"By obtaining the things, it means someone will continue the journey, and my remnant thought should no longer linger, so this will be our last meeting."

"Mr. Mei."

Chen Sansi asked: "Do you have any more advice? I'm all ears."

"It's not so much advice, but I do have one more question for you."

Mei Xiao paused for a moment: "If one day, you truly have the power to suppress all enemies, what would you do by then? Like before in the Eastern Continent, would you create an Immortal Dynasty and rule the mortal world? But if it's only that, can the peace of all living beings really be guaranteed? After being away for so long, have you returned to the Eastern Continent to see?"

"Eastern Continent?"

Chen Sansi frowned: "What happened?!"

"Answer me."

Mei Xiao pressed further: "If one day, you could suppress the mortal world, how would you position yourself and how would you act by then?"

"I..."

Chen Sansi originally planned to speak grandly; after all, if he truly became incredibly powerful, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wished?

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't bring himself to say them.

After all, Mr. Mei standing before him could be said to be the greatest cultivator of all time, and even now, he was just a remnant thought. How could he, himself, possibly control everything?

In the end.

After careful consideration, he spoke: "Sir, I'm not sure. At least for now, there are many things I haven't figured out.

"But one thing is certain.

"No matter how high or far I go, I will never let all living beings suffer more because of my existence."

Confronted with this ambiguous answer, Mei Xiao instead showed a gratified expression. He nodded slightly, word by word: "That is enough."

When a person is strong enough. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

As long as they have this seemingly simple awareness, then all beings under heaven will surely thrive.

"Enough talk, you should leave here as soon as possible. The restriction on the box needs to be opened with the token and the Praying Sky Pearl, both of which you should have."

Mei Xiao urged him to leave: "Remember, protect the items well and don't let them fall into other hands."

"Not anyone?"

Chen Sansi noticed someone approaching and felt it inappropriate to inquire further, so he noted Elder Mei's words, swiftly turned around, and exited through the back door of the hall.

Inside the grand hall, silence reigned once more.

A shadow fell in from outside the hall, yet the person hesitated to cross the threshold.

"Lao Xiao."

Mei Xiao looked towards the silhouette outside, speaking softly: "After all these years, someone finally came to see me."

Xiao Mingyi, once one of the Twelve Golden Immortals and of quasi-emperor realm in the Demon Path, upon seeing Mr. Mei, showed a clear expression of fear on his face, and instinctively retreated repeatedly: "You really had a backup plan!"
