My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1467 - 541: Farewell, Mr. Mei (2)

"Beggar, are you leaving?"

In front of Huichun Hall, the master and his two disciples stood outside the door.

"Yes."

Chen Sansi said, "Ah Ji, after I leave, remember to practice diligently. With your qualifications, you can surpass the King of Zhenxi in less than twenty years.

"I also hope that when you possess powerful weapons, you will not forget why you started cultivating in the first place."

"I will."

Ah Ji nodded heavily.

"See you if fate allows." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Chen Sansi nodded as well, then turned around and left, soon disappearing at the end of the street alley.

Ah Ji and the others watched his departing figure, lost in thought for a long time.

No matter how many years pass.

They would still remember.

Everything they experienced in Lianyu City with this Immortal Master Chen.

...

Desolate Mountain.

Chen Sansi returned to the Transmission Array.

He embedded the Spirit Stones he obtained from the King of Zhenxi into the Array Eye.

Finally, he could leave.

But the problem was...

Where is the end point of the Transmission Array?

Wanluo Palace?

Or somewhere else?

There was too much uncertainty in this.

But Chen Sansi wanted to go back, this was almost the only way.

If he stayed here.

Not to mention the lack of Spiritual Energy, unable to support higher level cultivation, even if he found a place leading to the Cultivation World, as a Qi Refinement cultivator, he was likely to encounter unexpected events.

And this Transmission Array was clearly arranged by someone to send him to this world, it might as well be a trial of Wanluo Palace.

Since it's all a gamble, it might as well to choose to return the same way.

After all, based on the situation at the time, the young cultivator really wanted to kill him, there was no need to go to such lengths.

With that in mind.

Chen Sansi finally made up his mind, he formed seals with his hands, injecting Mana into the Array Eye to activate the Transmission Array.

"Buzz——"

Layer upon layer of Array Patterns lit up, the dazzling golden light enveloped him.

A feeling of dizziness struck.

Chen Sansi lost consciousness.

He didn't know how long had passed.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on familiar steps.

Wanluo Palace, the end of the Dao of Thousand Tribulations!

And his cultivation had unexpectedly recovered without him realizing it.

About seven or eight steps away, the young cultivator who had attacked him was sitting idly on the edge of a stone platform, holding Chen Sansi's storage bag, occasionally taking out a pill to eat.

Noticing the commotion, he glanced over, "Yo, you're awake?"

Chen Sansi stood up, looking at him warily, "Who exactly are you?"

"I forgot to introduce myself."

The black-robed cultivator finished eating the last of the elixir pills in the storage bag, then said, "My name is Shu Heng, but I'm not a person, I'm a spirit, an Array Spirit."

"Array Spirit?"

Chen Sansi frowned, "The Array Spirit of this palace?"

"Correct, also the Array Spirit of this Secret Realm, I've been guarding here for over a hundred thousand years."

The black-robed cultivator paused, then added, "Oh, and I'm also the proctor of the trial."

"Proctor?"

Chen Sansi said, "So, you sent me there? Everything there was an Illusion Realm?"

"No."

Shu Heng shook his head, "It was all real, that place was one of the Great Thousand World in the lower realm."

"What was the content of the trial?"

Chen Sansi asked, "Since I was able to come out alive, does that mean I passed?"

"Everyone who participates in the trial can come out alive."

The black-robed cultivator sneered, "But those who fail the trial, I kill them myself and throw them out."

Chen Sansi recalled the corpses at the entrance of the Secret Realm.

He warily took a few steps back.

"Don't be nervous, you've passed."

The black-robed cultivator said with admiration, "First one in over a hundred thousand years."

"What is the standard?"

Chen Sansi asked again, "What is the standard for passing?"

"Everyone enters a different world, and the events they encounter are unrelated, so the specific standards naturally vary."

Shu Heng answered, "But the core is only one point, which is to see how a person who has achieved cultivation views mortals after losing their cultivation and returning to the mortal realm, and what they will do."

"You were actually willing to use the Taichu Elixir to save mortals, which surprised me a bit.

"Over the past hundred thousand years, every cultivator who entered the Secret Realm viewed the Taichu Elixir as more important than their lives, determined to take it out no matter what.

"Of course, I will take it back in the end."

"That elixir was not that important to me."

Chen Sansi said candidly, "I have enough talent, for such auxiliary items I completely regard them as external possessions."

"Do you think you're the only genius in this world?"

Shu Heng said indifferently, "I've seen two people with better qualifications than you, but they still desperately protected the Taichu Elixir during the trial, even at the cost of killing many mortals, just to preserve this quasi-emperor guarantee."

Chen Sansi didn't argue any further on these meaningless matters, "Since I passed the trial, what now? Where is Elder Mei's inheritance?"

"Follow me."

Shu Heng clapped his hands lightly.

The surrounding scene rapidly blurred and shifted.

When it returned to normal, Chen Sansi was already in another area.

In front of him was a palace.

Shu Heng pointed to the door, "The items are inside, if you want them, go in and take them yourself."

Chen Sansi looked doubtful.

But at this point, he had no other choice.

He didn't rush forward immediately, instead, he turned to look at the Array Spirit.

"Oh."

Shu Heng raised his eyebrows, tossing back the storage bag and Storage Ring, "Returning them to you, got bored and ate a few of your elixir pills, you don't mind, right?"

A few pills?

There were at least a thousand fine elixir pills in Chen Sansi's storage bag, now none were left, and many of them had certain side effects, wasn't this guy afraid of any adverse effects?

He didn't say much, just accepted the items, but when he looked up again, he suddenly found Shu Heng had vanished without a trace, leaving no evidence behind.

This Array Spirit was completely elusive.

No one knew if there were any traps or tests inside the palace.

Chen Sansi took a deep breath, adjusted the True Qi within him, took out the Longdan Bright Silver Spear, then cautiously stepped toward the palace step by step.

Suddenly.

He saw a figure in front of the palace entrance.

A figure with a clean outfit, tall build, back facing him.

Could it be...

Elder Mei!

"Mr. Mei?!"

Chen Sansi called out several times, but received no response.

He had too many questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, so he couldn't help but quicken his steps.

But just as he was about to reach the palace entrance, a gale suddenly blew from the front.

"Boom——"

Chen Sansi hurriedly raised his long spear to break the wind.

This gale was destructive, in an instant, it overturned the entire palace, his Protective True Qi was torn, his body completely beyond control, like a kite soaring into the sky.

The scenery before his eyes distorted completely, and he once again fell into unconsciousness.

...

Shu Heng sat by a roadside stone tablet, holding a few pebbles, tossing them back and forth. He looked at the dense forest ahead, speaking calmly, "I say, Xiao, since you're here, why are you still hiding?"

"Didn't intend to hide."

A Daoist-robed cultivator slowly appeared, "Just waiting."

"Yo, where'd you find this new body to possess?"

Shu Heng looked at the other with disdain, "With all that Demonic Qi, you didn't fall into the Demon Path over these years, did you? How does someone as despicable and without a bottom line as you still have the face to come here?"

"You are merely a spiritual wisdom born of formations, not qualified to talk to this old one."

Xiao Mingyi said in a deep voice, "Step aside and don't be a nuisance."

"Here to take the items?"

Shu Heng narrowed his eyes, "Don't even think about it!"

He raised his hand and grasped in the void, conjuring a flying sword from thin air.

"Xiao!

"Today I will act on behalf of Elder Mei and the Luoxiao Sect to kill you, to clear the sect's name!"

Xiao Mingyi said nothing, only revealing a look of disdain.

In his palm appeared a small seal.

The jade seal rose to the sky, bursting into brilliant golden light.

Under the cloak of golden light, Shu Heng collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Mingyi coldly said, "Mere Array Spirit, such audacity to act presumptuously before this old man! The formation of Wanluo Palace was arranged by me in cooperation with Elder Mei back then, how could I not know its weaknesses!"

Shu Heng struggled to prop himself, "Even without me, do you dare enter the palace?!"

"Hehe, indeed I do not."

Xiao Mingyi curled his lips, "That's why I found someone to go in and take the items for me, isn't it?"
