My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Until the spiritual energy erupted from the pill furnace, blowing off the lid, a crimson elixir slowly floated upwards.

Nine Revolutions Blood Amber Pill!

[Skill: Alchemy (Second-tier)]

[Progress: 806/1000]

The Alchemy Skill is steadily improving, and soon it will firmly break through to the third tier.

There are many elixirs needed for Core Formation that Chen Sansi no longer needs to purchase from outside; he can refine them himself.

This Nine Revolutions Blood Amber Pill is genuinely a demon path elixir. When consumed by a righteous cultivator, they will feel extreme pain due to being unable to withstand the evil qi, and it may even cause some degree of misalignment in their meridians. Long-term use may lead to deviation.

But the situation is urgent now, and Chen Sansi cannot afford to worry about so much.

He swallowed the Nine Revolutions Blood Amber Pill in one gulp, then began to sit cross-legged and meditate, refining the nature's spiritual energy.

With the elixir's blessing, the cultivation speed increased dramatically.

After being guided by Lord Taishan, Chen Sansi now practices with more detailed control over his mana or true power, thus minimizing the side effects of the Nine Revolutions Blood Amber Pill.

Time flies by like a shuttle; in a blink, it has already been two years.

Two years may be long for mortals, but for cultivators, it's just a short period of seclusion.

Now, it's already November of Tian Wu's twenty-second year.

The situation in Si Xue Dao remains as it was before.

Since Emperor Tianxi's arrival, the conflict between the righteous and the demon paths has shifted from life-or-death battles to minor skirmishes, and sometimes for half a year, they would completely cease fighting.

Instead, internally, chaos has completely set in.

The phenomenon of Dead Village has completely shrouded Si Xue Dao, with no way to investigate clearly. The conclusion reached is that these commoners truly sought death of their own accord, rather than being manipulated or coerced by the demon path.

As of two months ago, out of sixty thousand commoners in Si Xue Dao, forty thousand had died, turning the entire Dao almost into a charnel ground!

The massive amount of rotting corpses made Chen Sansi involuntarily think of the Immortal Ba Sect, suspecting those people intended to create Corpse Puppets.

But it makes no sense at all.

To create Corpse Puppets, one cannot just dig up any corpse; the primary requirement is that it needs a spirit root.

Moreover, to continuously enhance the Corpse Puppets' combat capabilities, it would be best for them to have cultivated a special cultivation technique in life.

Not to mention, cultivating Corpse Puppets also requires consuming a vast amount of resources, and needing so many mortal corpses is a losing business.

Mortal Army!

Chen Sansi inexplicably linked this occurrence.

Years ago, the Demon Realm had dispatched a large mortal army, but they quickly disappeared without a trace.

It might be the case that the Dead Village in Si Xue Dao is related to the mortal army.

Not only Chen Sansi suspected this, but the Guiyuan Sect and Qingxu Sect also noticed and began ordering the burning of all corpses.

The letter Chen Sansi sent to his master-wife received a reply.

His master-wife said that the three great Heavenly Sects were already aware of this matter, and once other battlefields were cleared, they would immediately dispatch personnel to handle Emperor Tianxi.

In the views of the Heavenly Sects, Emperor Tianxi's actions are merely desperate struggles and instructed the Qingxu Sect and Guiyuan Sect not to act rashly to avoid scaring off Emperor Tianxi and instructed not to retreat from Si Xue Dao, abandoning the spirit vein resources.

Cao Xie might arrive soon...

Chen Sansi knew he needed to seize the time.

Fortunately, his bottleneck breakthrough is imminent.

After consuming various elixirs and activating the Spirit Gathering Array within the Cave Mansion to increase the spiritual energy concentration, Chen Sansi sat cross-legged, undertaking the final breakthrough of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Under the Fire Element Heavenly Spirit Root's guidance, strands of nature's spiritual energy seemed to encounter a black hole, violently swirling into his body.

In his dantian, an ocean grew more and more filled, creating endless roaring waves, and eventually, they subsided into tranquility, a boundless sea that embraces all rivers!

[Cultivation Technique: Swallowing Fire Technique, Late-stage Foundation Establishment]

[Progress: 0/2000]

[Utility: Dual Casting]

[Dual Casting: Through daily cultivation, mastering the inner flames to simultaneously cast various types of flames.]

"Boom——"

The true power surged inside Chen Sansi, red flames burst from his left eye, grim green flames ignited in his right eye, and different flames appeared on both of his fists, making him look like both a god and a demon.

Still a bit short!

Having only the late-stage Foundation Establishment in the Immortal Path isn't enough; Martial Arts must also continue to improve!

Under relentless day and night cultivation, Chen Sansi's Martial Arts Realm advanced rapidly, not far from breaking the threshold.

He brandished a long spear in one hand and held the Dragon Abyss Sword in the other, practicing the Dragon Scripture over and over again.

Just as Chen Sansi was preparing to forcefully break through the Martial Arts Realm bottleneck, the blue bird returned with a letter.

It was another letter from his master-wife, and its contents were simple.

"Cao Xie has set out, he could arrive at Dragon Elephant City at any time; leave immediately with your second senior sister."

The frontlines had slightly calmed, and the three great Heavenly Sects had each dispatched a Nascent Soul Cultivator, heading to Si Xue Dao!

"No time left."

Chen Sansi had to halt his cultivation.

If the horse slave comes here, even if he doesn't make a direct move against me, he'll find every way to make me die in an 'accident'.

He must obtain the Creation Jade Dew quickly!

Chen Sansi immediately informed Dongfang Jingxing and others, instructing the four thousand disguised Demon Slaying Sect members to assemble outside Little Witch Mountain.

He himself began to prepare supplies, getting ready to exert all his effort tonight to take down Little Witch Mountain!

Stationed at Little Witch Mountain is Elder Feng Zhi and Xue Jingfeng, both of whom are equipped with the Magical Treasure known as the Hundred Beasts List. Should battle break out, it would be challenging for Chen Sansi to deal with so many troubles.

But time is short, and no matter what, he has to give it his all tonight.

As night fell, Chen Sansi set out from the city.

While passing by the Dao field, he glanced at the Heavenly Dao Ranking.

"Champion Leader is still Shen Tuye."

This person is strange: he excels at combat, consistently holding the first place from the beginning to the end.

However, the number of Copper Coins between him and the second-ranked Xue Xianrong and others is very close, differing by only a few Copper Coins.

Tonight, if successful, he could make a big splash and seize the Champion Leader title!

Shortly after leaving Dragon Elephant City, someone was following him.

Cao Xie could arrive at Dragon Elephant City at any time, and no matter who was following him, he had no time to care. He immediately performed the Escape Technique and left the vicinity of Dragon Elephant City.

"Wow, such a powerful Sword Control Technique!"

Zhang Wuya watched as the other disappeared, feeling very puzzled: "What's with this Lu guy lately? He's either in seclusion or in seclusion, not even accumulating Copper Coins. Has he given up on competing with us for the Creation Jade Dew?"

"I guess he knows he can't beat us."

Song Jing urged, "Let's finish up here, and then find a way to expose Jiang Xiyue's demonic qi."

Zhang Wuya nodded, touching his chin: "That blind man is strange too; he hasn't shown up lately."

...

Chen Sansi stood on the flying sword, looking back at the gradually appearing barren mountain on the horizon.

"Blue bird!"

Chen Sansi commanded, "Go tell Little Bamboo and the others; they can start taking action."

The blue bird flew away.

After a brief pause, Chen Sansi sensed someone else approaching from behind. He furrowed his brows, drew his sword, and was about to strike unexpectedly when he noticed it was someone familiar.
