My Cultivation Starting from Archery

As the Heavenly Slaughter Tripod smashed down repeatedly, he finally couldn't hold on anymore. The moment he lost strength, the shield flew out.

Then, he only saw a flash of firelight, and then felt himself flying backward, yet he could still see his body standing in place.

Evidently, his head had been chopped off...

"Junior Brother!"

Master Feng Zhi's eyes were about to burst with rage. Ignoring his injuries, he burned his Original Essence Blood to the limit, pouncing like a mad beast.

"So, you also have camaraderie among fellow disciples!"

Chen Sansi's figure flickered, avoiding the attack, and then the Heavenly Slaughter Tripod crashed down heavily, crushing the frail body, shattering the meridians, and killing him on the spot.

Immediately after, he performed Triple Blood Burning, and within an hour, caught up with the fleeing Guiyuan Sect Leader. Gathering his True Power into a single point, he threw the long spear like a Rainbow Through the Sun, piercing the opponent through and through.

At the rear, the soldiers of Sky Wall City had already occupied the main peaks of Guiyuan Sect, carrying out the final massacre.

"Your Majesty!"

Qi Cheng hurried over: "Over at Mang Mountain, it seems Cao Xie has already taken control."

"I know."

Chen Sansi threw the captured Guiyuan Sword to him: "I'll leave the rest here to you."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty."

Qi Cheng said solemnly: "I will clean up here properly."

"Qi Cheng."

Covered in bloodstains, Chen Sansi reached out and heavily patted him on the shoulder, but in the end said nothing, turning into a Light of Escape and disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Qi Cheng bowed deeply towards his departing figure.

...

Beiyang Dao of Sky Water Continent.

Kunxu Elder Shen Junzuo, Master Lianhua of Purple Sun Palace, and Wang Shouzhuo of the Heavenly Sword Sect wandered anxiously near the Ancient Transmission Array.

"What is Daoist Cao Xie trying to achieve..."

Master Lianhua said: "What on earth does he want to do?"

"Do what?"

Shen Junzuo snorted coldly: "This Heavenly Killing True Monarch has great ambitions. He wants to occupy the Eastern Continent. Using the Sealing and Emperor's Breath Soil as reliance, he intends to rival the three great Sects, and perhaps even swallow us up in the future!"

Master Lianhua frowned: "If that's the case, he's already entered the Divine Continent. We really are in a difficult spot next..."

"Indeed."

Shen Junzuo glanced at the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader to the side, speaking with a mean tone: "If Cao Xie finds what he's looking for in the Eastern Continent, I'm sure Master Wang, being his closest senior brother, would also gain significant fortune."

"Hmm?"

Wang Shouzhuo raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean?"

Shen Junzuo said coldly: "Don't think I didn't notice you holding back during the earlier battle!"

"Slander!"

Wang Shouzhuo retorted: "I utilized all of my cultivation, even at the cost of decades of my lifespan!"

"Did you?"

Shen Junzuo squinted his eyes.

"What else?"

Wang Shouzhuo said irritably: "I could also say it was Daoist Shen's own cowardice that allowed my junior brother to escape into the seal!"

"You..."

Shen Junzuo was furious.

Seeing the two about to argue, Master Lianhua quickly mediated: "Why must you two confront each other at such a critical moment? Our priority now should be to find a way to deal with Cao Xie, or shall we let him stay there indefinitely?"

Shen Junzuo stared at the Ancient Transmission Array: "Since he dared to enter, he must have found a way to bypass the Law. Even if we summon our own Masters, I'm afraid they'd be helpless!"

"I have an idea."

Master Lianhua said: "This Chen Lei in the Eastern Continent can rely on the Imperial Jade Seal to allow his cultivators to ignore the Law's suppression.

"We can have him send us in, and take this chance to seize the Jade Seal from him."

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Wang Shouzhuo said: "Aren't we allied with the Han Court, agreeing not to harm Chen Lei until after the end of the righteous vs. demonic war?"

"Indeed, we promised not to harm him, but never said anything about taking something from him."

Master Lianhua said: "Moreover, with Cao Xie in his stronghold, Chen Lei should be the one panicking. A few words might persuade him.

"If he doesn't agree, we mustn't let Chen Lei return to the Eastern Continent."

Shen Junzuo said seriously: "Cao Xie dares to wait within the Eastern Continent for Chen Lei's return because he must be counting on something. If Chen Lei returns to die, with the Imperial Jade Seal and Prayer Bead falling into Cao Xie's hands, it would be the real disaster. So, we absolutely must stop Chen Lei here!"

"Heh, Daoist Shen makes a good point."

Wang Shouzhuo agreed perfunctorily, his hands behind his back secretly activating a talisman.

...

Jiuyou Alliance.

A Golden Core Elder made a gesture of invitation: "This is the Transmission Array from our sect to 'Jingpo Mountain'.

"From Jingpo Mountain, it's at most half a day's journey to enter Beiyang Dao."

"Thank you, Daoist."

Chen Sansi clasped his fists in thanks, then without hesitation, stepped onto the Transmission Array. With a whirl of heaven and earth, he found himself tens of thousands of miles away.

After leaving Guiyuan Sect, he had been using the Transmission Arrays of various sects to traverse, and was finally nearing his destination.

But...

He suddenly thought of a severe problem.

The Three Great Sects were also aware of Cao Xie's entry into the Eastern Continent, and had even clashed with him in Beiyang Dao before.

It's possible they could block him at the Transmission Array, demanding him to hand over the Imperial Jade Seal and other artifacts, which could waste a lot of time.

If necessary, he could drag them in together.

But the army had not yet returned to the Divine Continent, and if they turned against the righteous sects now, it would spell complete disaster.

Thinking it over, Chen Sansi was still undecided about the correct approach.

In any event, he summoned a Magic-eating Cicada containing Immortal Treasure Lamp Oil, ordering it to self-destruct and burn everything in the storage bag if anything unexpected happened, ensuring mutual destruction.

A figure suddenly appeared from the sky, blocking the path forward.

"Who goes there?"

Chen Sansi could feel the terrifying power emanating from the other, and upon a closer look, found that the person's face was obscured by a spell.

Importantly, he did not sense any killing intent from this person.

"Come with this humble Daoist."

the mysterious figure said.

"Who are you?"

Chen Sansi was naturally not going to easily trust him.

"Young brother, do you really have the luxury of worrying about who I am? Besides me, who else can help you now?"

The figure continued: "Don't think about forcing a situation of mutual destruction. What if they don't harm you, but just block your way, what can you do then?

"Then..."

Just as the other had said, Chen Sansi had no choice: "Please, senior, lead the way."

The mysterious figure nodded and grabbed his shoulder. Using the Instantaneous Technique, within an hour, they arrived in a cave within a desolate mountain.

This was an abandoned Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and at the deepest end, there was an Ancient Transmission Array.

Chen Sansi realized this person might not be helping him, but rather...

Helping Cao Xie!

This person's every scheme was to kill him and take the Imperial Jade Seal to control the Eastern Continent!

In the present circumstances, Chen Sansi wasn't even sure if his current course of action was the right "one" according to the saying.

Yet he didn't hesitate, resolutely stepping onto the Ancient Transmission Array, taking out the Jade Token to activate the Formation.
