My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1473 - 544: Immortal Decree (Part 2)

Are they unable to pass the trial, or... are they afraid?

Could it be that Mr. Mei never intended to leave the relics for them?

Thinking of this.

A chill rose in Chen Sansi's heart.

Who is Elder Mei guarding against?

Ding Xiu?

He had seen Ding Xiu's past; like himself, he rose from humble beginnings and is irreconcilable with Xiao Mingyi, not seeming to harbor any malice.

Or is it other elders within the Luoxiao Sect?

Chen Sansi didn't want to assume everyone was malicious, but the heart of defense cannot be absent!

Since Mr. Mei had instructed him, he had to do his best.

Maybe...

First try to open the wooden box and see what's inside, before deciding whether to return it.

Also, as long as he obtains Wanfa Jiejin, Chen Sansi would be much more composed in any situation he encounters.

Lost in thought.

Someone was approaching their position on the distant horizon.

"It's people from Luoxiao Sect."

Luo Yunshu looked back somewhat disappointedly and said, "It seems Chen Daoist will no longer need protection."

"..."

Chen Sansi did not feel relieved; instead, he secretly furrowed his brows.

It seemed he had no choice but to return to Luoxiao Sect first.

Luckily, the restriction was still there, and even if he took the box back now, no one could open it.

"Shi Tou, are you hurt?"

An old voice rang out, and the most sacred of the Human Race, Ding Xiu, descended from the sky, his gaze sharply turning to the side.

Luo Yunshu took several steps back: "Elder Ding, you misunderstood me. Not only did I not harm Chen Daoist, but it was I who saved his life."

Chen Sansi said truthfully: "Uncle Ding, thanks to Daoist Luo, I could leave the secret realm alive."

"Hmm."

Only then did Ding Xiu relent. He blamed himself: "That Xiao Mingyi scoundrel is so deranged that he refined his own direct disciple into a puppet, one soul two bodies, the main body holding me off, the body externalization coming to find you, I almost fell for his scheme!"

As he spoke.

Venerable Taihua, Daoist Han Zhang, and the injured Fang Fuyao and others also arrived one after another.

They had been entangled with the Demon Path earlier, and it was only after Elder Ding arrived that they could escape.

"Nephew Chen!"

Venerable Taihua eagerly asked, "Did you obtain the relic?"

"I did."

Chen Sansi showed the wooden box, gesturing to hand it over.

"Nephew, you'd better keep it."

Ding Xiu pushed the box back: "After all, the legacy is what you obtained through the trial. What the sect wants from inside is only a part of it, just to resist the demons."

"Thank you, Uncle Ding."

Chen Sansi put the item away.

"Aren't these the venerables?"

Ding Xiu directed his gaze toward the Five Elements Venerable, vaguely guessing the reason: "It seems from now on, you will be part of the Luoxiao Sect family. In that case, let's depart immediately and return the relic for safe keeping to prevent further complications."

No one objected.

The group set sail to return.

On the way back, they encountered no more obstacles, making it back to the Luo Xiao Mountains swiftly and without hindrance.

"Shi Tou."

Ding Xiu suggested: "The box should be opened soon, but it lacks the Xuanzhu; have you considered how to bring it to the Upper Realm?"

"Uncle Ding, could you lend me the Heavenly Destiny Platform?"

Chen Sansi cupped his hands: "I plan to notify the Lower Realm to bring the items up."

The Heavenly Destiny Platform transmits the Immortal Decree, the only communication method between the Upper and Lower Realms.

"Very well."

Ding Xiu agreed: "I'll hand over the Heavenly Destiny Platform. You're free to use it, and if you need any help with the other matters, feel free to come to me and the other elders."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Chen Sansi watched the other leave.

He settled the Five Elements Venerable within Guilan Mountain, serving as his eyes and ears, then picked several precious herbs from the Emperor's Breath Soil for refining elixir pills.

His senior brother Fang Fuyao sustained severe injuries to rescue him in the secret realm, so he should lend a hand in healing.

After the elixirs were successfully refined, Chen Sansi personally visited and found his brother's wounds more severe than anticipated, having injured his foundation, requiring long-term recuperation.

After doing this.

He spent a few days inside his Cave Mansion, thought it through, and then proceeded to the Heavenly Destiny Platform.

He also needed to open the box to obtain the Wanfa Jiejin, so the National Fortune Xuanzhu had to be brought to the Upper Realm no matter what.

It was also an opportunity to reconnect with the Eastern Continent, which he had been away from for so long.

Chen Sansi sat cross-legged and activated the formation.

This formation required a vast amount of spiritual energy each time it started, and during use, it needed powerful mana support.

Therefore, he could only clearly convey the matter directly, without being able to "write a letter" to inquire about the mundane with the Han people.

An hour later, the Immortal Decree was transmitted.

Chen Sansi erased the traces, confirming that no one could know what he had communicated.

The Praying Sky Pearl needed to be sent up, but it could not be delivered directly to the Luoxiao Sect.

So, he specifically chose a remote location, intending to personally pick it up during the next Ascension Platform opening.

Speaking of...

This trip to the Linquan Ancient Path did not result in finding Jiang Ye or seeing his master and mistress, nor did he know if they were safe in the Upper Realm.

The matter of the Demon Seed, Luoxiao Sect still kept secretive, speaking in riddles without directly telling him.

The doubts in Chen Sansi's heart began to grow heavier.

If it were really as they said, that the Demon Seed could assist the Heavenly Dao, and restore nature's spiritual energy, why couldn't it be said openly?

This cover-up only suggested something amiss.

He spoke up: "Blue Bird."

"Master, what's the matter?"

The blue bird obeyed.

Chen Sansi said: "Sneak down the mountain and try to contact the people of the Slayer Sect without alerting the Luoxiao Sect."

He remembered that the Supreme Elder of the Slayer Sect was also one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, who must know more of the inside story, so gathering information from both sides could get him closer to the truth.

"Understood."

The blue bird turned and left.

Chen Sansi took a deep breath, spending several days regaining peace of mind before he began his closed-door cultivation.

As a Taoist Ancestor, his speed of transcending into the saint state was surely faster than ordinary venerables.

After the Immortal Saint, there is the quasi-emperor.

Then, he could begin the true path to enlightenment.

Chen Sansi could hardly wait.

If he could become an emperor, all current troubles would be resolved smoothly.

Thinking this way.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

Time flies, and the stars shift, the sun and moon change positions.

In a blink, three hundred years passed.

[Cultivation Technique: Taoist Ancestor Dragon Scripture (Immortal Realm)]

[Progress: 1702/2000]

On this day, Chen Sansi suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and opened the door to his Cave Mansion.

"Has His Majesty come out of seclusion?"

The Fire Element Venerable came out to greet him.

"Hmm."

Chen Sansi asked: "How have you progressed in cultivating the ultimate divine skill I passed to you all?"

"Gained some insights."

The Fire Element Venerable said: "Mastering this divine skill completely is unrealistic, but it should be possible to alter the path from the Five Elements to Martial Arts."

"That's good."

Chen Sansi said: "I'm not far from transcending into the sagely realm, and by then, whichever of you first becomes the sovereignty of martial arts will depend on your own abilities."

Hearing this, the venerables looked shocked.

"So soon?"

They had returned from the Wanluo Palace merely three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years, for an ordinary cultivator, wasn't even enough to cultivate to the Nascent Soul!

Chen Sansi commanded: "Alright, prepare yourselves; we have a journey to undertake."

To transcend into sainthood requires a tribulation.

And tribulation naturally requires the preparation of spiritual objects.

This was also a chance to leave the sight of Luoxiao Sect.

By this calculation, the Praying Sky Pearl should have already been sent up.

He needed to obtain it quickly to prevent the passage of too much time and unforeseen complications.

Chen Sansi went to the Steward Hall to receive a task, then led the venerables out of the Luoxiao Sect, quickly vanishing into the vast sea of clouds.
