My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1480 - 548: Golden Immortal Turns Demon

Chen Sansi awakened from the darkness.

His injuries rapidly healed as the restrictive spells dissipated.

At this moment, he found himself in a cave mansion rich in spiritual energy, lying on an Ice Jade Bed.

"Awake?"

Nangong Qingyao approached: "How are your injuries?"

"No major issues."

Chen Sansi sat up: "Master's wife, where is this place?"

Nangong Qingyao replied: "This is the headquarters of the Immortal Gate, a small world where you are safe, so no need to worry."

Chen Sansi cupped his hands: "Thank you, master's wife, for saving my life."

"Foolish child, you call me master's wife, yet you're so formal?"

Nangong Qingyao softly chastised: "Speaking like this makes me feel like an outsider."

Chen Sansi nodded.

"There are some elixir pills here."

Nangong Qingyao said: "Don't leave behind hidden injuries."

"I really am fine."

Chen Sansi replied: "When did you arrive at the Immortal Gate, master's wife?"

Nangong Qingyao answered: "I was originally from the Immortal Gate. After returning to the upper realm, suppressed memories were restored, so I returned to the Immortal Gate to seek a solution."

"How did the Demon Seed come about?"

Chen Sansi asked: "What happened back then?"

Nangong Qingyao's expression held a trace of wistfulness as she slowly recounted: "I was originally the Holy Daughter of Beichen Palace. As a child, I accidentally wandered into the mortal realm and secretly joined the Immortal Gate."

"Later, I was brought back to Beichen Palace due to my talent in spirit plants. Being naturally endowed with pure spiritual energy, I was assigned to oversee and nurture a spirit plant in the Medicine Garden."

Chen Sansi speculated: "The Demon Seed?"

"Yes."

Nangong Qingyao nodded: "I personally cultivated the Demon Seed, so her calling me mother isn't unfounded."

"Her true form is the Supreme Primeval Clean Spirit Jianmu, a divine tree seed born in the early Chaos, containing the initial clean energy of heaven and earth, equivalent to an ancestor's vein."

"After a thousand years of cultivation, the Demon Seed gave rise to the spirit plant, now residing in Xi Yue's body as Jiang Ye."

"Originally."

"I thought they cultivated the Demon Seed solely for refining until an accidental eavesdrop revealed my master's conversation."

"After the world's collapse, the spiritual energy of the realm severely diminished. Several elders from the Eight Immortal Upper Sects sought to array refine Jianmu, transforming it into the Demon Seed, then devour all beings to replenish heaven and earth, hence restarting the Heavenly Dao and reviving spiritual energy."

"I immediately informed Elder Jiang of the Immortal Gate, seeking advice on what to do."

"Elder Jiang?"

Chen Sansi interrupted: "Could it be Jiang Changgong?"

"Exactly."

Nangong Qingyao nodded: "Elder Jiang is now the Supreme Elder of the Immortal Gate."

Chen Sansi nodded.

This Elder Jiang is one of the last twelve Golden Immortals left after Ding Xiu and Xiao Mingyi.

Nangong Qingyao continued: "The Immortal Gate was in decline, unable to rival Luoxiao, let alone storm Beichen Palace to seize or destroy Jianmu."

"The best plan was to keep me at Beichen Palace, continue watching Jianmu, and find opportunities to stop them."

"After thousands of years of bloody sacrificial refinement, Jianmu turned into the Demon Seed, lacking only the prime energy of the lower realm to complete the array patterns."

"This task was given to me."

"I brought the Demon Seed to the lower realm. Due to my inadequate strength, I couldn't destroy it, so I could merely hide it, and the rest you know."

"So that's how it is."

Chen Sansi mused.

It turns out that over the past hundred thousand years, cultivators of both realms have been working around the Demon Seed.

He asked: "What do we do next?"

"Naturally, think of a way to destroy the Demon Seed."

Nangong Qingyao stated: "But the Demon Seed is born of Chaos, utterly destroying it is extremely difficult. If remnants are left behind, Luoxiao Sect and others can re-cultivate it, so we are still discussing specific plans."

"Will we make it in time?"

Chen Sansi asked: "After Ding Xiu harnesses Dao Embryo, becoming Immortal Emperor, he can come seeking us anytime."

"Not so soon."

Nangong Qingyao replied: "The Dao Embryo method is originally a shortcut, left by Mr. Mei for mortals, aiming to create a mortal Immortal Emperor with a lifespan no longer than a hundred years." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Ding Xiu needs further refinement to become a true Immortal Emperor, inevitably consuming plenty of time, at least within five hundred years he won't dare come recklessly."

"Understood."

Chen Sansi said: "So if I achieve Immortal Emperor within five hundred years, we needn't worry about Ding Xiu?"

"You could say that."

Nangong Qingyao's voice softened: "But even Mr. Mei's leap from quasi-emperor to Immortal Emperor took countless years, just do your best without undue pressure. Once you're healed, let's go out, Elder Jiang Changgong wants to see you."

"I'm healed already."

Chen Sansi rose: "Let's go now."

"Are you sure?"

Nangong Qingyao agreed, leading him out of the cave mansion.

Before them lay lush mountains and gentle rivers, amidst abundant spiritual energy filling the air with a faint mist."

Between the peaks, palace buildings stood majestically; though nowhere near Luoxiao Sect's scale, the scenery was akin to a breathtaking painting."

Chen Sansi followed his master's wife to the most secluded and serene peak."

Midway up the mountain, stood a thatched cottage."

As they entered, a frail young man was seen fishing beside a pond outside the cottage."

"Yo?"

The young man eagerly welcomed them: "Miss Qingyao and Chen have arrived? How come you've just woken and not taken more rest?"
