My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1482 - 549: Breaking Through to Immortal Saint

"So..."

Chen Sansi withdrew from the myriad images: "What are the plans of the Zhu Xian Sect now? Not to inherit Mr. Mei's legacy, but to continue destroying the spirit veins?"

"Correct!"

Jiang Changge said: "Past events have shown that Mr. Mei's methods are indeed unworkable. Since nature's spiritual energy will eventually collapse, why shouldn't we see it through and directly destroy the spirit veins?"

"Chen.

"Meeting you today, besides uncovering the truth, has another purpose: I formally invite you to join our Zhu Xian Sect.

"I left with hidden wounds after the great battle, barely surviving to this day, truly exhausted in body and mind. I wish to hand over the Zhu Xian Sect to you in the future, as a repayment for Elder Mei's kindness back then."

"Elder Jiang."

After contemplating carefully, Chen Sansi shook his head: "I'm afraid my beliefs differ from your sect; at least for now, I don't want to directly destroy nature's spiritual energy."

"Ah~"

Jiang Changge did not hide his disappointment and then smiled helplessly: "I had already guessed so; you are too young, full of hope, just like Elder Mei was back then.

"But you should have heard of the first Sect Master of Luo Xiao Sect, Dang Tian True Monarch?"

"Naturally."

Chen Sansi read records in Luo Xiao Sect, learning this Dang Tian True Monarch's lifelong belief was to sever the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins.

Even the ban on all methods was created by him.

"Such Dang Tian predecessor was originally a genius with a Primordial Spirit Root, but as a child, his spirit root was dug out by his kin, becoming a mortal and spending many years struggling in the mortal world."

Jiang Changge explained: "Later, upon getting a Pseudo Spirit Root, he finally returned to the cultivation path. He witnessed the rise and fall of the Cultivation World and experienced the worldly life, concluding that as long as cultivators exist, this world will never find peace!

"So.

"Once Dang Tian True Monarch reached the pinnacle, he immediately began to act.

"Sadly...

"He faced opposition from all the cultivators worldwide, ultimately leading to the collapse of nature, ending his life and path...

"Now, what our Zhu Xian Sect aims to do is basically what the True Monarch left unfinished."

"What about Mr. Mei?"

Chen Sansi asked: "Why didn't he do the same?"

Jiang Changge explained: "One reason, Mr. Mei knew the resistance was too great, preferring to maintain a balance between immortals and mortals, waiting for nature's spiritual energy to naturally dry up.

"Secondly, he had other concerns."

"Concerns?"

Chen Sansi pursued: "Could you elaborate on what exactly these concerns are?"

"Outer Ancient Demon."

Jiang Changge uttered an unfamiliar term.

"Ancient Demon?"

Chen Sansi was stunned: "Do you mean the Ancient Demon Clan of the Demon Path?"

"Yes, and no."

Jiang Changge explained: "The Ancient Demon Clan and the Human Race share the same origin, both arising at the beginning of chaos. After their defeat in the ancient human-demon war, they were sealed in the outer realms by ancient powers.

"The Ancient Demons you see today are merely some impure offspring.

"Mr. Mei feared the return of the Ancient Demons, which is why he didn't enforce the destruction of the spirit veins.

"However, for countless millennia,

"No one has truly seen or come into contact with the Ancient Demons. Even the ancient demon branches they left behind have weakened in the Cultivation World, seemingly on the verge of being entirely absorbed by the human race's demon path.

"As for pity...

"I understand, Chen, you think that destroying the spirit veins will sever the Immortal Path for thousands of people, but have you considered that as long as the spirit veins exist for a single day, they will never give up on the 'Demon Seed'?

"No matter if the Demon Seed is gone, they will come up with new methods, using rituals that involve sacrificing the world to restore nature's spiritual energy.

"The pursuit is for immortality!

"An everlasting desire to remain elevated in the form of an immortal!

"Whether to destroy the spirit veins or to one day observe the sacrifice of all living beings - forced to choose between the two, Chen, which will you choose?"

Chen Sansi fell into silence, unable to immediately provide his answer.

"Cough, cough..."

Jiang Changge coughed violently, and after calming down, changed the subject: "Chen, I understand that even saying more today won't persuade you.

"But I hope you'll have a chance to return to the Eastern Continent, to look at the Han Immortal Dynasty you founded, to see what changes have occurred there.

"I believe by that time, you may understand some of my thoughts."

"Eastern Continent?"

Chen Sansi's eyes flickered.

A short while ago, Mr. Mei mentioned this matter, and now Elder Jiang brought it up again. Could it be something truly happened in Han?

Yet, River said everything is perfectly normal.

"I understand."

He stood up: "The words you spoke today, Elder, I will consider carefully when I return."

"Hm."

Jiang Changge said solemnly: "Chen, among the many people Mr. Mei selected, only you have made it to this day, implying there must be something extraordinary about you. I am willing to trust that this seemingly endless dream for 'immortality' will come to an end in your hands.

"For this time, focus on your cultivation.

"We will continue researching how to completely eradicate the Demon Seed.

"Qing Yao, please escort the guest."

Chen Sansi took his leave.

On his way back, he pondered the conversation he'd had, ultimately unable to decide to destroy the world's spirit veins.

There are good people among cultivators, too.

Moreover, the tale of the Ancient Demons remains uncertain.

If they truly exist, the human race should at least maintain sufficient power to address them.

Of course.

These are long-term considerations.

For Chen Sansi, there are more pressing matters at hand—his cultivation!
