My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1432 - 524: Artifact Spirit

"Uncle Ding."

Chen Sansi spoke, "Thank you, Uncle."

"We're all family, no need for formalities."

Ding Xiu teased, "I saw you chasing all the way here. Are you worried that Gu Hongying might run back to Shenxiao Mansion to accuse you?"

Chen Sansi tacitly agreed.

"Hehe~"

Ding Xiu laughed, "Silly child, I can tell you've had your fair share of troubles while cultivating in the lower realm, always striking down the young ones only to face the old ones, and after vanquishing the old ones, bigger troubles arise, seemingly endless. You always wish to sever all troubles once and for all?"

"Uncle has seen much indeed."

Most times, Chen Sansi was alone, often encountering such situations countless times.

"You need not do so anymore,"

Ding Xiu, seemingly reading his thoughts, said solemnly, "From now on, whoever troubles you will face pursuit from this old man, and you have the entire Luoxiao Sect behind you!"

As he spoke, he lifted his cane and gently tapped it amidst the clouds.

In the next moment.

Chen Sansi found himself alongside the elder, appearing above an Immortal Sect.

"Boom——"

Su Liuyun slammed into the mountain gate, causing the tall boundary stele inscribed with "Shenxiao Mansion" to collapse with a thunderous crash, sending tremors throughout the sect.

"Great Elder?!"

"Someone attacked the Great Elder!"

"Someone's attacking the mountain!"

"..."

Witnessing this scene.

Chaos erupted within Shenxiao Mansion.

Cloud-like cultivators surged from their various cave mansions, assembling in formation at the mountain gate.

"Such audacity!

"What demon dares to wreak havoc at our Shenxiao Mansion's gate!"

Sect Master Baili Qingya personally took charge with flying sword in hand, but upon witnessing the scene ahead, he froze, no longer daring to advance a single step.

Above the skies, an elderly man, short in stature, gazed quietly down, leaning on a cane, overseeing countless Shenxiao disciples.

"Ding Zhisheng?"

Baili Qingya glanced at the injured Su Liuyun, confused, "Did you harm my senior brother?"

"Junior Brother!"

Supported by disciples, Su Liuyun stood from the rubble, notifying, "Chen Sansi killed Junior Brother Gu Hongying!"

"What?!"

Baili Qingya furrowed his brow, looking at the white-robed cultivator standing behind the Saint, roughly guessing what had occurred, couldn't help but speak, "Elder Ding, it's inappropriate to protect him like this, after all, he's one of yours from Luoxiao Sect, killing our Shenxiao Mansion's elder!

"You should know, nurturing a harmonious Immortal requires vast resources and ages of honing!

"You must give us an explanation!"

"Demanding an explanation from me."

Ding Xiu paused, suddenly emphasizing with increased force, "You brat are unqualified!"

The word 'unqualified' came out, carrying an indescribable oppressive force.

Across Shenxiao Mansion, tens of thousands of disciples instantly suffered the pain of torn divine souls, crying out in agony.

Even Baili Qingya and Su Liuyun struggled to withstand the pressure.

"If they're unqualified, am I qualified?!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

An aged yet powerful voice rang out.

Immediately, an elderly figure with white hair and beard flew from deep within Shenxiao Mansion, none other than the Supreme Elder, Yu Chen True Monarch, equally at Saint Realm.

"Ding Xiu!"

He shouted angrily, "This junior behind you first killed one of my disciples' grandsons in Burial Star Mountain, then killed one of my true inheritor disciples; even if it's Luoxiao Sect, you can't be so unreasonable!"

"Unreasonable?"

Ding Xiu's voice echoed throughout heaven and earth, "That day in Burial Star Mountain, it was your grandson trying to kill and seize treasure, ending up killed by Chen Lei, and later your good disciple Gu Hongying relentlessly pursued him, tracking across half of the Southern Yuan Immortal Continent, eventually dying due to lack of skill. Now, you, old fool, want to stand up for your disciples and grandsons, who's really being unreasonable?"

His voice wasn't loud, yet clearly transmitted into everyone's mind.

"Nonsense!"

Yu Chen True Monarch argued back, "These are merely the words of Chen's kid, my grandson is the most obedient, how could he murder and loot outside!"

"Alright then."

Ding Xiu sneered, "Yu Chen Daoist, I see you've grown bold over the millennia, daring to shout at me."

"Ding Xiu!"

Yu Chen True Monarch pointed his finger accusingly, cursing, "You're skilled, but that's in the past. If I recall correctly, it's been tens of thousands of years since you last dueled a fellow cultivator at your realm, afraid to reveal you're just a facade now?

"Enough, I'm done wasting words with you!

"It's said that even Immortal Saints navigate upstream like a boat, failing to progress leads to regression.

"Today I shall weigh your remaining abilities!"

"Buzz——!"

An indescribable deep hum resonated across the universe.

Before Yu Chen True Monarch's hand, amidst the void, a turbid, seemingly ancient sediment-gray "long river" materialized.

The river had no source or end, exuding an absolute chill that froze souls and ended all things.

Primeval Devourer River!

This river, crafted by condensing Heaven and Earth Laws into an Immortal Treasure, directly consumes all beings, refining them into part of the law.

The cold river surged forth, extinguishing gray-white like the tides of death, silently yet swiftly engulfing all colors and life!

Ding Xiu lifted his cane, gently pointing towards the front void.

"Tap."

A light sound.

Like a chess piece landing on the board.

The surging, roaring Primeval Devourer River suddenly halted, as if gripped by an invisible, enormous hand.

"Crack... Boom!"
