Transmigration begins with archery training

Xu Wencai's disciple, Qi Cheng, is one of the top-grade spiritual roots and is now at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but he lacks resources.

The situation for the older generation remains largely the same as before.

After consuming the Jing Shen Fruit, Wang Zhi and Rong Yanqiu were already martial artists at the early stage of True Strength, while the other senior brothers and sisters had been stuck at the Martial Saint realm for many years, unable to advance further due to the lack of rare and precious materials.

Wei Xuan and Song Guizhi are both on the verge of reaching the mid-stage of True Strength, but it seems almost impossible for them to advance any further.

It's not just a matter of resources; their lifespans are also nearing their end.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Buqi was also a Martial Saint long ago, and was also waiting for rare and precious materials to activate the Jing Shen.

Zhang Shuntian was born with a Heavenly Grade Water Spiritual Root and had already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

There are also Ningxiang and Zhaozhao.

Both of them are exceptionally talented and have consistently maintained the highest level of cultivation among all cultivators. Furthermore, Chen Sanshi tends to allocate resources to those who are even more outstanding.

Therefore, Zhao Zhao and Ning Xiang have both reached the late stage of Qi Refining. If they have more years, they will probably be able to try Foundation Establishment.

As for the old brothers in Poyang, only Wang Li, unexpectedly, broke through to the Martial Saint realm, and is expected to go even further in the future.

The upper limit for the vast majority of others is locked. Even if they accumulate more resources, they can barely reach the Great Perfection of the Profound Realm and have no hope of becoming a Martial Saint in their lifetime, let alone anything above Martial Saint.

On the contrary, some of their descendants have quite good talents.

For example, Xu Bin's daughter, Zhao Kang's second son, Zhu Tong's daughter, and Xiong Qiu'an's nephew, etc...

Ten years have passed since the founding of the Great Han Dynasty!

Chen Sanshi suddenly realized what this meant. It meant that Zhao Kang and the others had gone from their prime to middle age, that the old scholar Xu Wencai had entered his sixties with graying temples, and that their descendants had come of age and were about to take the stage...

Time is passing by!

Since ascending to the throne, Chen Sanshi has become even busier. After completing his cultivation of immortality, he has to practice martial arts. After comprehending magic, he has to refine pills, talismans, arrays, and puppets. He has never stopped for even a moment.

So much so that he was completely unaware of the passage of ten years until he saw the vicissitudes on the faces of familiar people and finally understood what the path to immortality truly was.

The Path to Immortality.

The mortal world is like the mighty Yangtze River flowing eastward, and time changes like the shifting of stars. Everything that can be seen in the world will eventually turn into nothingness. Only those who pursue immortality can stand tall through the ages, transcend time, and live forever.

Can……

meaning?

Chen Sanshi looked at Qinghua Palace, thinking of Lan Jie'er's face and Sun Li's figure, knowing that they might also leave him in the future.

From the very beginning, he was not a steadfast seeker of the Tao; he practiced martial arts to survive, so that he and his family could live in peace.

We've come this far entirely due to the prevailing trends!

The path of cultivation, in essence, is not so much about extending one's lifespan, but also about increasing one's strength to gain the ability to protect oneself.

But if all the people around him turn into dust, what meaning does immortality have for him?

An empire that lasts for thousands of generations?

Times are always progressing; no one can last forever.

Chen Sanshi's initial intention in ascending to the top position was simply to make everyone's life a little better than before, nothing more.

Could it be that only those like the former Emperor Longqing, who were ambitious and determined to achieve immortality, were true seekers of the Dao?

He stopped abruptly, not wanting to dwell on it any longer, worried that if he didn't adjust his state of mind properly, it would further affect his foundation-building state of mind.

Chen Sanshi quietly left the dojo without disturbing the "heavenly soldiers" who were cultivating, and went to "Langfeng Peak".

Langfeng Peak is a peak in the mountains behind Chang'an, and it is now used to raise mythical beasts.

Several years ago, the "Heavenly Horse" that Chen Sanshi captured from Chiling Mountain had already begun to take shape.

Spirit beasts like "Shuhu" and "Lushu" reach adulthood after about seven months of raising and can then begin to reproduce.

Over the years, it has grown to a scale of hundreds.

Of course, they are just low-level spirit beasts that are adults and have only reached the early stage of the first rank. However, even relying solely on their physical bodies, they are far superior to ordinary warhorses.

These "Shuhu" and "Lushu" were initially very irritable and completely untamable. In the end, only Princess Taiping, Chen Yunxi, was able to handle them.

So, this task was handed over to her. In the past two years, she has started training cavalry battle formations, and their combat power is enough to completely crush any ordinary army.

Speaking of his two daughters.

Chen Yunxi was already a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl, and had reached the third level of Qi Refining.

Xu Yuhuan changed her name to Xu Yunhuan and was already in her teens. She had just started cultivating wood-attribute techniques and was at the first level of Qi Refining.

"His Majesty!"

Qi Cheng, a disciple of Wolong, appeared beside him: "Sir, along with the cabinet ministers, wish to request an audience with His Majesty."

"Old Xu?"

Chen Sanshi said calmly, "Let them wait in Zhongjue Hall first. I'll be there right away. Oh, by the way, give your master a seat. He doesn't need to stand."

Zhongjue Hall.

Cabinet officials gathered here.

Xu Wencai, now in his sixties, still dresses in a scholar's robe and turban, but his speech and manners have long lost their former glibness; instead, they exude composure, shrewdness, and the air of a patriot.

"My beloved ministers."

Chen Sanshi, dressed in a dragon robe, strode into the hall, sat on the dragon throne, and asked directly, "What do you want to discuss with me?"

"Replying to your Majesty."

Xu Wencai stood up and reported calmly, "For the past two years, we have been preparing for the unification of the world, and in accordance with Your Majesty's request, we have tried our best to avoid warfare."

"So half a year ago, the old minister and General Wei Xuan led troops to put pressure on the border, and it wasn't until ten days ago that they finally agreed to compromise."

"Both Dongqing and Nanxu are willing to change their imperial titles to kings and submit to our Great Han as vassal states."

"If things continue like this, we can control these two countries within one or two years, and then proceed with the reduction of their power according to the original plan, completely turning them into the territory of our Great Han."

"Okay."

Chen Sanshi praised, "Old Xu, you can handle this matter as you see fit. You don't need to ask me for permission every time you need to mobilize troops."

"His Majesty!"

Xu Wencai paused for a moment: "I would like to entrust these matters to my student Xiao Chengzi. He has done a decent job in the court over the years, but he has not yet experienced any major events and still needs to be tempered."

Just in time.

A gust of autumn wind blew into the hall, causing the old scholar's robes to flutter, his white beard to sway, and an air of age to pervade him.

Chen Sanshi understood that this meant they were preparing to formally train the next generation.

He did not refuse: "I grant your permission."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xu Wencai withdrew.

Sima Yao stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, I have a letter from Yunding Palace and some information about the situation in Nanxu. It is quite urgent, so please review it personally."

As he spoke, he handed the items to the eunuch to present.

"Cloud Palace?"

Chen Sanshi took the letter, read its contents, and his expression gradually turned grim. He stood up heavily and said, "Sima Yao, you're coming with me to Nanling Town right now!"

The two piloted their flying boat and arrived in the southern region ten days later.

North of Tianya Haijiao lies Nanling Town in Nanxu.

Above Nanling Town, there is a shocking crack in the sky, as if the entire sky is about to collapse!

Based on the warnings and reminders from Shen Guiyi of Yunding Palace.

It is said that various Golden Core sects used ancient remnants of treasures to create a crack in the weakest point of the seal in the Eastern Divine Continent.

If left unchecked, the seal on the entire world will collapse in just a few years!

In recent years, the ancestral veins of Mangshan have been constantly active, but the seal is quite strong, and the people on Tianshuizhou have achieved very little.

However, the area near Nanling Town had collapsed once a long time ago.

It was Chen Sanshi's master, Sun Xiangzong, who repaired it using ancient treasures. Now, it's clear that the other side has found another opportunity.

"His Majesty!"

"The various sects of Tianshui have never given up their desire to destroy our Han Dynasty!"

Sima Yao clasped his hands and said, "We may need to think of a solution. If we continue to let this situation develop, the Divine Continent will be in danger, and the nation will be in danger!"

"..."

As Chen Sanshi gazed at the golden cracks in the sky, a chilling and resolute look gradually rose in his deep pupils.

Yes.

Tianshui's desire to destroy me will never die!

Once the seal on Shenzhou is broken, and immortals flood into the land, the nation will collapse, and all living beings will become slaves to cultivating spiritual grains!

this moment.

Chen Sanshi finally understood the meaning of his pursuit of immortality.

Even if the world is in turmoil and people have passed away; even if a thousand years have passed and things have changed; even if everything he knows has turned to dust, he must stand here and guard the land!

only if.

Only then can Chen Sanshi live up to the sacrifices of his brothers, to his senior brother Fang Qingyun who sacrificed himself to create the nation's destiny, to his master's cultivation, and to the help of all the people under heaven!

Along the way.

Every time he led an army into battle, it seemed to be his own achievement, but in fact, the true foundation lay in the profound energy transformed by the will of the people!

How could Chen Sanshi allow this land, which had finally achieved stability with great difficulty, to be completely destroyed by the cultivators of Tianshui Continent?!

Since they are determined to destroy me, then there is no other way but to fight to the bitter end!

Those who offend our mighty Han, no matter how far away, shall be punished!

With unwavering faith and abundant energy.

Without uttering a word, Chen Sanshi left Sima Yao behind and soared into the sky alone, returning to Tianyong City to prepare for Foundation Establishment!
