My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Chen Sansi traveled back and forth between the Sky Water Continent and the Divine Continent. Although somewhat tired, the occasional company of the Empress, imperial concubines, and his children made life feel rather warm.

If it could always be this way, it wouldn't be a bad kind of happiness.

October 25th, Tian Wu year five.

Inside the Taiji Palace of the Great Ming Palace.

Just as Chen Sansi announced the end of the court session, a eunuch rushed into the hall hurriedly.

"Your Majesty!"

"Assistant Minister of War Sima Lan seeks an audience, claiming to have important matters to report!"

Chen Sansi agreed: "The rest of you may leave; let Sima Lan come in."

Sima Lan, already a True Power Warrior, jogged into the hall, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, there's trouble with the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein!"

Chen Sansi felt a stir: "Lead the way."

The two flew through the skies, reaching the western border of the Sheng Dynasty within a dozen days, and after passing the familiar Guan Du, they arrived at the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein.

Since the founding of the Han state, Mang Mountain had been handed over alternately to the Sima family and the couple Wei Xuan for guardianship. Now, after five years, it was the first time an incident had occurred.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Sima Yao led a group to greet them from afar.

"No need for formalities, speak directly to the matter."

Chen Sansi ascended straight to the summit of Mang Mountain.

"Reporting to Your Majesty."

Sima Yao took out a piece of grass from his bosom: "This is the Calming Grass, which can help cultivators focus, barely considered a First Rank spirit plant."

Chen Sansi took it and examined it carefully in his hand.

This grass wasn't worth much, you could even call it insignificant.

But at least it was a spirit plant.

The appearance of spirit plants on Mang Mountain indicated...

The Ancestor Vein was reviving!

"There's more."

Sima Yao added, "Every month, one or two days will exhibit anomalies over Mang Mountain, mainly characterized by loud noises, as if someone is attacking a boundary. Based on patterns, the next occurrence should be in the coming days."

Chen Sansi decided to stay for a few days.

On the night of the fifth day, just as Sima Yao had said, a vibrant rainbow glow accompanied by thunderous roars appeared right above them.

It felt like someone was destroying something.

Heaven and Earth Seal!

Chen Sansi speculated that the sect on the Sky Water Continent might be taking action. As things stood, the seal was still very firm, without any sign of damage.

But this also served as a cautionary note for him.

He had to act quickly!

These five years of peace were not genuine peace, just the calm before the storm. As long as the bandit sect of the Sky Water Continent was not eradicated, it remained a significant hidden threat.

After confirming that the Ancestor Vein was unharmed, Chen Sansi breathed a sigh of relief and then immediately set off for the Sky Water Continent, planning to visit the Cave Mansion before heading to the Bai Family.

The Bai Family is the only Martial Arts Family in the Beiyang region.

It's said that at its peak, the Bai Family Patriarch was at the True Power Perfect Realm, only one step away from progressing beyond True Power. However, during the quest for subsequent legacies, an accident occurred, leading to the decline of the Bai Family.

When Chen Sansi first encountered the Bai Family seven or eight years ago, it was at its most perilous, being ostracized by various families, including the Li family.

It wasn't until four years ago, when the current Bai Family Ancestor broke through to the True Power Perfect Realm, that the situation stabilized again.

But even so, there were constant frictions with various families.

This made Chen Sansi feel a bit puzzled.

If the Bai Family truly only had a First Rank supreme spirit vein, most of the other Foundation Establishment Families had similar resources; why would they unite to attack it?

Was it simply because of Martial Arts, or perhaps some personal vendetta, or other disputes?

Chen Sansi was a bit curious.

He once again disguised himself and headed to the area controlled by the Bai Family.

Passing by the surrounding villages and towns, he saw mortal marketplace notices posted by the Bai Family—recruiting Second-tier Alchemists.

They still lacked Alchemists.

Chen Sansi lacked Martial Arts Elixir Pills to expedite his progress, and the other party lacked alchemists to make elixirs—truly a mutually beneficial arrangement. Without much thought, he decided to go and see for himself first.
