Transmigration begins with archery training

Next, Chen Sanshi only needs to open up his upper dantian to break through to the late stage of the Golden Body Realm.

However, the most crucial element in fighting against a Nascent Soul cultivator is still the formation—the Three Tribulations Extermination Formation!

He had already prepared all the materials for the formation; now all he needed to do was concentrate on creating it.

Chen Sanshi put away his spear and sat down on the ground. With a wave of his hand, he laid out the materials needed to create the formation.

The Three Tribulations Extermination Formation is a fourth-order formation.

For him at present, building it would be too difficult.

So Chen Sanshi began to create different third-order formations based on the "Feng Hou Qi Men Lu" left behind by the stable boy, in order to improve his proficiency in formation techniques.

He was so engrossed in it that several months passed without him even realizing it.

Having been in seclusion for several years, Chen Sanshi dared not waste a single second, and naturally had no time to groom himself. His beard had long since covered his face, making him look much more imposing than before, but with a touch of vicissitude and depth.

February of the thirty-seventh year of Tianwu.

Chen Sanshi is already over sixty years old.

On this day, he finally completed another set of Starry Sky Sword Formation, and the long-lost proficiency panel slowly appeared before his eyes.

[Skill: Formation (Tier 4)]

【Progress: 0/2000】

[Effect: Return to Nothingness]

[Return to the Void: Manipulates formations with effortless skill; when a formation is destroyed, the remaining power of laws can be condensed into a physical form to attack the opponent.]

Advancement: Fourth-tier Array Master!

Chen Sanshi could clearly feel that his divine sense had risen again. Even when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could now go toe-to-toe with him, unlike before when he couldn't even make eye contact.

If he were to use a magical artifact, he could completely escape unscathed using only his divine sense.

As for the enhanced attribute [Return to Nothingness] after the breakthrough, simply put, it means that before the formation is destroyed, it can still be used to attack the opponent!

Fourth-order formation...

That's equivalent to a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator!

In this way, our chances of winning increase by another point!

Chen Sanshi immediately began refining the Three Tribulations Extermination Formation.

He formed hand seals and spewed out chaotic true fire, fusing the Bodhi Formless Bone and a fourth-order wooden plate into one. Then he took out a carving knife and began to inscribe array patterns on the array plate, arranging them in a specific pattern. His divine sense had unconsciously connected with it. What he saw before him was not a piece of dead wood, but the chaotic laws of heaven and earth.

What he needs to do is use the carving knife in his hand to gradually straighten out the tangled mess of rules.

It sounds easy, but it's actually an extremely difficult job.

Every time Chen Sanshi moved the carving knife, a large portion of his essence and spiritual energy would be consumed. He would feel exhausted before he had made halfway through the process, but fortunately, he was able to make some progress each time.

When it came to the fourth and final batch of materials, he finally grasped the knack and, despite the immense strain, sketched out the last stroke.

The array plate hummed and floated in mid-air before emitting golden light. Array flags rose into the air and fluttered around the array plate.

Within the core array plate are three grooves, two of which contain "spirit beads" and "evil beads" respectively. One more is needed to activate the array.

You're done!

Chen Sanshi took out a blank yellow talisman and chanted an incantation. The entire formation transformed into a stream of light and entered the talisman.

Naturally formed law runes also appeared on the surface of the talisman paper.

A Comprehensive Guide to Talisman Arrays!

All is ready except for the opportunity!

Next, Chen Sanshi only needs to seize the opportunity to attack the Bone-Eating Ridge to destroy the demonic array!

Before that, what he needs to do is to improve his strength as much as possible.

Without a moment's rest, Chen Sanshi immediately resumed his cultivation of magical arts and supernatural powers.

His pupils blazed with flames, and golden flying swords materialized behind him. Thousands of swords hummed, the sound like a grand ceremony, and the powerful sword energy made the entire cave tremble.

The "Ten Thousand Swords Arrive from Heaven" technique evolved from the simplest "Sword Qi Technique" in the cultivation world. It does not contain any cultivation secrets or key points; Chen Sanshi's breakthrough depends entirely on his own comprehension.

Now that he has accumulated a thousand swords, simply increasing the quantity is no longer of much significance; the most important thing is their power.

Sword energy...

Chen Sanshi imagined it in his mind.

If he could make each flying sword reach a level close to that of ultimate divine power, then its destructive power would definitely increase greatly.

However, it was impossible for him to separate thousands of divine senses to simultaneously control each flying sword.

So the best solution is...

The goal is to let these flying swords "learn" ultimate supernatural powers on their own!

Chen Sanshi held his breath and focused his mind, infusing his will into each of the flying swords. After doing this again and again, he entered a mysterious state.

He felt that he was no longer "one me", but "hundreds and thousands of me", wielding different flying swords and practicing.

"Buzz!"

Beside each flying sword, countless illusory images of celestial warriors materialized, resembling three thousand sword immortals arranged like clouds!

Chen Sanshi raised his hand and thrust his sword towards the boulder in front of him.

The three thousand illusory figures behind him also transformed into streams of light, carrying sword energy as they simultaneously attacked their target, each containing sword intent that was incredibly close to the ultimate divine power.

"Boom!"

With a whoosh of sword energy, the boulder shattered into pieces.

[Spell: Myriad Swords Descend from Heaven - Tier 4]

【Progress: 0/2000】

[Effect: A thousand swords ring out in unison, a fleeting glimpse of light and shadow]

A thousand swords resound in unison, fleeting glimpses of light: gathering a thousand swords, transforming them into sword shadows.

breakthrough!

Chen Sanshi slowly sheathed his sword.

He breathed a sigh of relief, sat down at the table, and was about to practice his talisman skills for a while longer when he heard hurried footsteps outside the tent.

"His Majesty."

Dongfang Jingxing stepped into the tent: "General Wang just came to report that a crack has appeared in the No. 1 array eye of the Great Wall."

What about Kunxu?

Chen Sanshi asked, "Has the matter of reinforcements been mentioned?"

Dongfang Jingxing shook his head: "There are two evil god cultivators at the fourth realm, and they should be arriving at Bone-Eating Ridge soon."

"Where is Fellow Daoist Tianwu?"

As the two were discussing, a familiar voice came from outside again.

"Please let these fellow Daoists in."

Chen Sanshi spoke.

Three Nascent Soul cultivators entered in response.

"Fellow Tianwu Daoist!"

Xiao Boxu's face was grim: "You should have already heard about the situation at the Great Wall, right?"

Chen Sanshi nodded and said, "I am considering a solution."

"I do have an idea."

Xiao Boxu said bluntly, "As long as Fellow Daoist Tianwu releases the Demon Seed, dealing with Zhao Rui and the others will be a piece of cake, won't it?"

"Demon species?"

Chen Sanshi feigned ignorance and asked, "What do you mean by this, Fellow Daoist Xiao?"

"What do you mean? Don't you understand?"

Xiao Boxu said in a deep voice, "We know about what happened in Xiniu Hezhou! Since you can get the Demon Seed to take action, why don't you use it to deal with the Demon Army?"

"What Fellow Daoist Xiao said makes sense."
