My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Eunuch Feng denied, "How could that be? I have been delaying diving into the water precisely because I was waiting for you, Daoist. If you did not come, I was prepared to send someone to invite you, but..."

He said cautiously, "Daoist, why have you brought so many people? What is your intention?"

"This is the current Prince, Young Master!"

Although Chen Sansi knew that the other party was aware, he still introduced, "According to my judgement, the Grand Ancestor Relics cannot be obtained without someone from the Imperial Family, hence I requested their assistance."

"This predecessor..."

Cao Fan spoke up, "Below lies the treasure left by the ancestors of the Cao Family, you all behaving like this... I'm afraid it's somewhat inappropriate, isn't it?"

Cui Congyi and Yun Xiaozi among others readied themselves for a confrontation.

"Oh?"

Eunuch Feng sneered, "Is the Young Master speaking like this because he is preparing to fight us?"

"Young man."

Chen Sansi reminded, "The entrance to the secret chamber has a stone gate. This Daoist can open it. Given that the time is pressing, I, as a great hero, advise you not to waste any more time here."

"Heh heh~"

Ultimately.

Cao Fan made a decision, "Senior, please do not misunderstand, since everyone is indispensable, let's be friends."

"Hmm, the Young Master has a good temperament."

Eunuch Feng tested, "But... it's not quite proper for so many people to go down together, is it?"

In the end.

All eyes fell on Zhang Lai Zi, waiting for his answer.

"Let's do this."

Chen Sansi cleared his throat and lifted his chin as he spoke, "I, Daoist Liao Shizhong, along with Cao Fan, the three of us will go down. The rest will wait here. This arrangement also ensures security for everyone, and should any mishaps occur, there will be people to assist."

"I have no objections."

Eunuch Feng said cheerfully, "Daoist and I can be considered life and death friends. Last time, if it weren't for the Daoist, I might have died down there. I trust the Daoist."

"Young Master..."

Eunuch Feng and others were a bit nervous.

After all, for them, whether it was Zhang Lai Zi or the Seeking Immortal Tower, they were essentially strangers.

Cooperating with Zhang Lai Zi was solely because they feared his knowledge of secrets while not being sure about his capabilities.

They even didn't know whether the person in front of them was associated with the Seeking Immortal Tower.

"No problem!"

Cao Fan decided, "I will go down with them, General Cui, you and others wait here first."

"Regarding the items obtained, how about this?"

Eunuch Feng proposed, "If it can be divided equally, we divide; if not, we share it."

"Then what are we waiting for!"

Chen Sansi signaled the two to go first, then he casually walked from shallow to deeper into the pool, disappearing from sight.

"Young Master, such a big change!"

Eunuch Feng watched the water, "If it were before, he would never have made such a compromise. After all, it's something left by the Grand Ancestor. How could it be shared with outsiders..."

"The Young Master did nothing wrong, but this is only a temporary measure."

Cui Congyi said sternly, "The current situation does not allow us to waste too much time here, and we also don't know the origins and strengths of these people. We must at least wait for the items to be retrieved. While there's still time, Eunuch Feng, please go and ask General Fan to come over here as well. The Grand Ancestor Relics are exceedingly important and cannot fall into the hands of strangers."

"I'm off."

Eunuch Feng disappeared from sight.

"Boundless Heavenly Venerate!"

Yun Xiaozi chanted, "After tonight, the Young Master will surely undergo a great transformation and will indubitably become a great enlightened ruler in the future."

The two groups,

the Seeking Immortal Tower and the Incense Fire Divine Sect, thus began to confront each other beside the pool.

...

The secret chamber.

Stone gate.

"Hum rumble—"

Eunuch Feng repeated his skills, smoothly opening the stone gate, and then the torches in the passageway lit up one by one, the same scene just like the last time they came.

He and Chen Sansi didn't rush inside.

After waiting at the door for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they walked side by side into the interior.

Soon, they arrived at a spacious corridor and saw the wooden figures of Cao Xie, which nearly cost them their lives last time.

The wooden figures of Cao Xie from the period of the horse-tending, the sect period turned into a pile of rotten wood scattered everywhere, while the remaining figures from the hegemonic period, the seeking immortality period, and the period of his initial ascension to the throne were returned to their original places.

"Grand Ancestor?!"

The newly arrived Cao Xie, upon seeing these wooden sculptures and the inscriptions on the steles, fell into deep shock.

It wasn't until he saw the last sculpture that he exclaimed in horror.

"What... What is this?!"

"Who dares to treat my Cao Family's ancestor with such disrespect..."

These words.

Cao Fan did not voice them.

He guessed that Zhang Lai Zi and others had already been here, but since they couldn't take anything away, they dragged him here once more.

"Bang bang bang!"

Cao Fan adjusted his clothing, and with proper formality, knelt down and solemnly kowtowed three times: "Ancestor, your grandson is unfilial for disturbing you."

After doing all this.

He carefully picked up the severed head and reverently placed it back atop the Dragon Chair.

"Gentlemen, let's continue."

They walked a few hundred more steps and again came upon a stone platform.

"Dragon Abyss Sword!"

Cao Fan recognized immediately: "This is the divine sword that Grand Ancestor used to defeat two thousand armors. Inside the wooden box next to it... should be the chance for immortality left by Grand Ancestor, hmm? Gentlemen, why aren't you coming over?"

He turned his head back, only to see Zhang Lai Zi and Eunuch Feng maintaining a certain distance.

"Young man,"

Chen Sansi informed, "Your ancestor's sculpture will attack us. You try to see if you can bring the item over, but be careful."

"Buzz!"

As the words fell,

the Dragon Abyss Sword began to vibrate.

Streams of transparent mystical energy gushed into it, and then like rain, fell onto the three wooden sculptures.

The wooden sculptures, came to life!
