Chapter 571: Chapter 264: Making a High-Profile Entrance into Beijing (Requesting Monthly Tickets in Mid-Month!)_2

Everyone traveled together, chatting and laughing.

On this trip to Western Capital, before departing, Chen Shi had lingered in the True King’s Tomb for several days. Apart from the Xiaolang’s Emperor Chapter Skill in the Book Collection Pavilion of the tomb, he had memorized almost all the cultivation techniques from the steles outside of the tomb.

The True King left these techniques to create a legacy for the West Bull New Continent. Chen Shi talked with each person to understand their cultivation journey and nature. He pondered the techniques suitable for them and then taught according to their aptitudes, passing on the techniques from the steles.

Tian Yue’e was forthright and acted swiftly, so Chen Shi taught her the Dutian Leigong Curse.

Huang Fengnian was skilled in medicine and was inclined to delve deeper into this field, so Chen Shi taught him the Purple Banner Yuanjiang Technique.

Fang Wuji favored attack and defense, so Chen Shi passed on to him the Three Elements Mountain Suppressing Technique.

Fu Xiu had a detached nature, so Chen Shi taught him the Infinite Jade Pearl Secret.

Hu Guang’an was impulsive, so Chen Shi transmitted to him the Dragon God Secret Technique.

...

Each person comprehended different techniques, and the group moved slowly. If there were parts they didn’t understand, they would consult Chen Shi. Chen Shi had not practiced these techniques himself; he pondered and taught them simultaneously.

Furthermore, the journey was fraught with difficulty and danger, with frequent fierce winds, so the troop’s progress slowed.

More and more scholars’ teams caught up from behind, gathering together, eventually becoming a group of over a hundred people.

In this team, breakthroughs occurred from time to time, and people often upgraded their Golden Core by one level. Within a single day, there were often more than a dozen people who broke through long-standing cultivation bottlenecks.

Such scenes were inconceivable not only to them but also to Chen Shi, who had not expected it either.

Those capable of being scholars were not dull-minded, especially those who had survived to this point—they were the outstanding among cultivators.

They possessed high talent, great understanding, and good fortune. They lacked nothing compared to noble family offspring, except for techniques, resources, and spiritual medicines. Previously, they struggled even to have enough to eat, let alone achieve breakthroughs.

They were like tightly compressed springs; the tighter they were compressed, the stronger their rebound when released.

Previously, they had lacked only an opportunity. Now that Chen Shi had provided it, these people broke through directly without the need for spiritual medicines or elixirs!

Within a few days, the team had gained six Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Chen Shi had passed on the techniques from the stele without expecting anything in return. He felt that King Xiao, Zhu Xiucai, and the True King had successively entrusted the West King Jade Seal to him, perhaps to use him to spread the techniques from the steles.

He was just doing his part; why would he expect anything in return?

Yet in the minds of people like Tian Yue’e, this was an immense favor, weightier than that of a teacher’s—a rebirth kind of favor!

For a drop of water’s favor, they would respond with a spring’s recompense.

How could they repay such a favor of rebirth?

In the face of this kind of favor, all words of gratitude seemed impoverished and pale, incapable of expressing the sentiment.

By mid-March, the team had nearly reached two hundred people as they approached the West Bull New Continent’s largest and most majestic mountain range, the Yellow Rock Mountains, which ran for ten thousand li from north to south.

It wasn’t just one mountain range that undulated unpredictably, but numerous ranges spread out from north to south.

They had to cross the great canyons between the mountain ranges and traverse the malarial forests by March, surrounded by mutant beasts, evil spirits, and even demons, in order to leave this deadly area and reach Western Capital by early April!

In the past, the deadliest part of the scholars’ journey to the Capital was crossing the Yellow Rock Mountains. Dozens of scholars would stop before the mountain to wait for others, aiming to cross the canyon together. Seeing their party of two hundred arriving, they were both surprised and delighted.

The combined group, now numbering over two hundred and sixty, entered the canyon majestically.

This time, the two hundred plus scholars were mostly excited individuals who had recently advanced in realm. They practiced the spells they had just learned along the way, with boundless energy to unleash. They used unwise mutant beasts and evil spirits for practice.

The strength of the more than two hundred scholars grew stronger as they went, battling as they advanced. If one wasn’t strong enough, then ten would join in; if ten weren’t enough, then a hundred would team up. Everywhere they went, even the long-established mountain-top demons had to kneel and beg for mercy.

Chen Shi, noticing the extreme dangers of the canyons in the Yellow Rock Mountains, organized the group to practice the Ten Absolute Array. Each person was responsible for one talisman—two hundred and fifty-six in total—that could transform into two hundred and fifty-six China Divine Beings when the array was activated, forming a lethal array!

This array was used to protect the Immortal Laws in the Scripture Pavilion of the True King’s Tomb and had incredible power. Just the talismans alone could contend with formidable opponents like Chen Yindou!

The power of two hundred and fifty-six scholars arranged in formation was unimaginable!

Chen Shi tested it only once. At the time, in the great canyon, they stood on the river’s surface, which was several li wide. They set up the array on the surface of the river.

With Chen Shi at the array’s heart, as soon as the Ten Absolute Array was activated, a sweeping force rose from the ground, cutting through the river. All around, the world lost its colors, and silence reigned as if life had ceased to exist!

They dared not continue practicing the array and quickly disbanded it.

Sun Yisheng, lying in a wooden cart, was terrified, nearly scared into spiritual fragmentation by the sight.

The pressure was enormous, terrifying!

Even he, a Refining Void Realm master with his own domain, felt certain death if he set foot into the array!

"What kind of evil spirit is Chen Tang, the son of the household of such a great man?"

He was inwardly shocked. Over two hundred scholars could execute such a terrifying array, overpowering thousands of troops and exceeding all the arrays of Western Capital’s three main camps—so incredible that nobody would believe it if told!

At that moment, he noticed powerful presences speeding away about a hundred li around, causing him a moment of shock before realization dawned.

"There had been many powerful ambushing masters on the road waiting to assassinate us!"

His heart pounded. Those strong individuals had escaped his notice until their retreat, clearly indicating their high cultivation level—some possibly even surpassing his own!

But they were scared off by the Ten Absolute Array!

They had prepared ambushes here, yet dared not make a move. After sensing the terrifying aura of the Ten Absolute Array, they retreated on their own initiative.

"I don’t know who the ambushers were."

Sun Yisheng thought, "But if it had been me sensing the aura of the Ten Absolute Array, I would also lose all will to fight and dare not make a move. That presence, simply annihilating everything!"

Surprisingly, Chen Shi and the others passed through the Yellow Rock Mountains safely, emerging from the mountains at the end of March.

Along the way, Chen Shi solved various cultivation difficulties for everyone. He had not practiced the techniques from the steles, but in helping others, he was essentially pondering these techniques himself. Moreover, interacting with others was tantamount to indirectly absorbing the best of each.

After exiting the Yellow Rock Mountains, he quietly pondered the Xiaolang’s Emperor Chapter Skill and suddenly discovered that the previously inscrutable intricacies unfolded effortlessly before him!

Chen Shi was stunned.

He had memorized the Xiaolang’s Emperor Chapter Skill at the cost of damaging his spirit, but now he was suddenly able to ponder it!

"In this period, my cultivation has not greatly increased; what has increased is knowledge. While teaching others, I was also learning and understanding."

He felt an inner splendor of spirit, where his wisdom was round and penetrating.

He began to cautiously practice this Immortal Level technique, daring not to take it lightly. After all, it was a profound and unpredictable Immortal skill, and if he practiced it incorrectly, even rectifying the mistake would be extremely challenging.

A few days later, Western Capital was in sight.

Two to three hundred scholars looked ahead at the ancient city, their excitement overflowing.

And in Western Capital, pairs of eyes watched these scholars.

Above the road into the city, altars rose, emitting divine light, with Golden Cores shining in all directions, illuminating various hues, while little Nascent Souls sat in the void, Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi drawn by them. Green Qi came from the mountains, stretching hundreds of li.

A voice said, "On the way here, we found no opportunity to strike. But upon reaching Western Capital, the opportunity has come!"

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder boomed in the skies above Western Capital, thunderbolts falling from the heavens, aimed at those Golden Cores and Nascent Souls.

At that moment, a Luo Umbrella ascended, spinning to form an area of several acres, with divine beings all underneath, like a heavenly palace, blocking all the thunderbolts outside.

Some activated spells, shattering the Lightning Summoning Talismans high above.

The Luo Umbrella continued to spin as it shrank, but it did not close, still hovering above the scholars’ heads.

Under the umbrella, divine chants rang out, protecting the scholars.

Under watchful eyes, Chen Shi led the two hundred and sixty plus scholars into the Western Capital City.

Sun Yisheng, reclining in the wooden cart, felt the gazes on them and was uneasy: "We’re too conspicuous; we are far too conspicuous."

—Brothers, it’s the middle of the month, let’s get a monthly ticket to boost the rankings for the great path above!
