My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Divine Skills?

This person's martial arts have reached a transcendent level, having already moved beyond the realm of ordinary martial arts.

Otherwise, how could he easily approach him?

However...

The difference in realm is too vast!

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

Cao Xie raised his gaze, noticing that the other party showed no intention of retreat despite sensing his mana pressure.

His killing intent erupted, ready to strike.

Between heaven and earth, a sudden clear wind blew, dispersing the True Power on Chen Sansi's sword edge and also sweeping away the mana in Cao Xie's palm.

His expression turned cautious, with a subtle movement of his silk shoes, revealing array patterns.

Meanwhile, pure and pristine auspicious clouds gathered above everyone's heads, full of energy emanating from the rolling clouds and mist.

"Why not visit Taiyuan Peak, why trouble a junior here, Heavenly Killing True Monarch graces our humble abode?"

A vibrant cloud descended from the sky, within the mist, a middle-aged man riding a green ox gracefully landed.

It was none other than the Supreme Elder of Qingxu Sect, Zhang Huaiqing.

"So it is you, Huaiqing."

The array patterns beneath Cao Xie's feet gradually dispersed like ripples, and with one hand behind his back, he smiled: "Congratulations on breaking through the Nascent Soul barrier, my apologies for the delay in attending the observance."

"Late?"

Zhang Huaiqing laughed: "I see Elder Cao arrived quite early."

"No misunderstanding, Huaiqing."

Cao Xie said frankly: "Today, I came to your sect originally for a routine soul search concerning Lord Taishan."

"I heard along the way that Baihua Valley's Yu Ling took in a disciple of unclear origin, thus arose the thought to investigate thoroughly."

"After all, Chen Lei from the Eastern Continent involves the Ancestor Vein and Imperial Jade Seal, it's of paramount importance, and there's no room for negligence."

"Let me assure you."

Zhang Huaiqing spoke with certainty: "This person isn't the Chen Lei you're looking for. I wonder if my words are trustworthy to Elder Cao?"

"Naturally."

Cao Xie once again glanced over the Baihua Valley disciples: "A sect's Supreme Elder surely wouldn't speak falsely. I apologize to the young brother."

Chen Sansi remained indifferent, slowly retracting the flying sword smeared with Immortal Treasure.

A storm did not erupt, halted due to the appearance of Qingxu Sect's Supreme Elder.

"Shengzhi."

Master Yu Ling asked softly: "Are you alright?"

Chen Sansi gently shook his head.

"Let's go."

Master Yu Ling snorted coldly, preparing to leave with the disciple.

Just at this moment, under the moonlit night, a staggering figure stumbled towards the courtyard.

"Who the hell is in my house?!"

Mu Chutai swore as he approached, but upon seeing the scene in the courtyard, he almost stumbled to the ground, hastily turning to flee.

"Where are you going, Mu?"

Beneath Cao Xie's feet, a formation expanded centered on him, instantly covering several miles.

With a wave of his hand, the heaven and earth shifted.

Mu Chutai, hundreds of meters away, appeared in the courtyard the next moment.

"..."

Lord Taishan, running, fell flat on his face, then staggered to his feet, realizing escape was futile.

"Oh dear, isn't this Brother Cao?"

He forced a flattering smile: "Your esteemed visit, what brings you here?"

"Lord Taishan, surely you need not feign ignorance?"

Cao Xie motioned for him to sit, speaking unhurriedly: "How are things? After these years, have you recalled anything, Brother Mu?"

"Elder Cao, Heavenly Killing True Monarch, my dear brother!"

Lord Taishan flatteringly said: "I've said everything decades ago; I truly don't know the whereabouts of it!"

"You've questioned me countless times, surely you could confirm I'm telling the truth?"

Cao Xie interrupted: "Since that's the case, let's proceed with the routine check then."

"Damn it, up yours!"

Lord Taishan, realizing pleading was useless, grabbed a handful of yellow soil from the ground, viciously throwing it at the other's face before turning to flee.

Unfortunately...

It was futile.

Cao Xie raised his hand, capturing him to the front, then firmly pressed his right hand against the Heavenly Spirit, channeling the secret technique into his mind.

"Ah!!!"

As the Soul-searching Secret Technique took effect, Mu Chutai's eyes widened, veins bulged on his forehead, emitting ear-piercing screams of agony.

Chen Sansi frowned slightly.

The Soul Searching Technique is considered one of the most brutal secret techniques in the cultivation world, causing significant harm to the divine soul of the inflicted, the pain unbearable.

The most crucial aspect is, soul searching allows the person to probe all your memories - life, aging, illness, death, family and friends, all buried deep within the soul's memories become accessible.

Thus, the Soul Searching Technique is deemed a trampling of dignity by cultivators.

As earlier, even considering performing the soul search on "Lu Shengzhi," a junior, implied disrespect to Qingxu Sect.

"Ah——"

Thunderous screams echoed across the mountains and fields.

Neither Supreme Elder Zhang Huaiqing nor Baihua Valley's Master Yu Ling spoke up against the soul search, merely watching silently.

"Ah!!!"

Lord Taishan cursed tremblingly: "Damn it, I curse your ancestors!"

"What are you, really!"

"Someday I will kill..."

"Ah——"

The intensity of the Soul Searching Technique increased once more.

After a prolonged period, Mu Chutai finally couldn't endure further, his curses turning into desperate pleas.

"Elder Cao, Heavenly Killing True Monarch, forgive me, please spare me..."

"I truly don't know anything."

"I've given everything I could give."

"I am now a permanently Foundation Establishment failure, I beg you to spare me... I just want to eke out an existence, eke out an existence..."
