My Cultivation Starting from Archery
Chapter 765 - 233 Dasheng Zhou Lang, Unrivaled Strategy_2

"Is this lord speaking about you, sir?"

Sima Yao glanced at him: "Or are you speaking about yourself?"

No clear statement was made.

However, all the officials present understood.

This was a warning for the Beiliang Army to exercise restraint.

Factional strife.

Had begun once again.

Regardless of the era of prosperity or the fall of a nation, struggles in the court are endless.

Yet...

At this moment, in the court of the new dynasty, Beiliang had also become one of the factions, even if the White Robes did not benefit, they were also trying to secure interests for the Beiliang Army, for their own benefit.

"Lord Sima, what do you mean by that?!" Fu Kejin said in a deep voice, "I am entirely for the court, and I hope Lord Sima will not measure the heart of a gentleman with a petty mind!"

For a moment.

The two sides argued incessantly.

"Your Majesty, may I speak?"

Among the crowd of officials.

A young official wearing a scarlet robe, embroidered with a peacock, spoke up.

Wolong disciple Qi Cheng.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, he was appointed as the Assistant Minister of War of the Standard Third Rank, granted the literary merit of "Counselor for Governing Affairs".

Now, most of the Beiliang Army was stationed outside, and among those left in the court, he was considered one of the core Beiliang forces and spoke with a certain representation.

Emperor Cao Huan said solemnly: "Minister Qi, feel free to speak."

"I think."

Qi Cheng stepped forward two paces: "What Lord Sima proposed is more appropriate, with the Beiliang Army first guarding the Western Route, while the Imperial Army is responsible for defending Shouyang, protecting the capital city."

"Lord Qi?!"

Fu Kejin and others looked at him, surprised that a Wolong disciple would speak on behalf of the opposing side, puzzled in their hearts, but they couldn't persist further.

"This young Lord Qi truly understands the bigger picture!"

Sima Yao praised: "Your Majesty, please issue the order."

"Very well, as Minister Qi is a Wolong disciple, his words should represent part of Wolong's intention. Under these urgent circumstances, I shall make a temporary appointment, and if the Beiliang King has any objections to this arrangement, he can inform me at any time, and I will make adjustments as necessary."

The final decision of the Orthodox Emperor.

In the early September of the 77th year of Longqing in the Julian calendar, Sheng Xianzong Cao Huan appointed Sima Yao as the Governor of Lou State, bestowed the title of Dragon Tiger General, and led seventy thousand troops to guard Shouyang; dispatching one hundred and fifty thousand troops from the Beiliang Army south to Mao State to resist the Western Route troops.

...

Taizhou.

State City.

Beiliang Army Garrison.

Central Army Tent.

As the abnormal fire burned out, the array patterns on the alchemy furnace extinguished one by one, and all activity came to a halt until complete calm was restored. Several First-rank Elixirs, "Clear Spirit Pills", were successfully concocted, with the interface reappearing.

[Skill: Alchemy (First Rank)]

[Progress: 256/500]

With Chen Sansi's relentless efforts, his alchemy proficiency finally surpassed the halfway mark, which was also credited to talisman painting and array formation studies. These "skills" all required using "divine sense", and they complemented each other, slightly accelerating the cultivation speed of various skills.

If he could quickly break through to the second-tier in alchemy skills, whether for martial arts resources or for refining Foundation Establishment Pills after practicing the "Swallowing Fire Technique", it would be of great help.

[Skill: Talisman Painting (First Rank)]

[Progress: 129/500]

...

After finishing these tasks.

Chen Sansi took out several banners only as long as a forearm, and a round wooden plate, holding a pointed tool, constantly carving runes onto the wood plate, some runes being as fine as a strand of hair.

In the process of engraving, spirit stones, spirit sand, mana, and various materials were needed.

Formation!

After successively scrapping four array plates, it was only on the fifth engraving that Chen Sansi finally succeeded. With a wave of his hand, the array plate flew several meters away along with the array flags, bursting with spirit light in mid-air, then suddenly dropping, directly sinking into the ground, leaving no trace visible on the surface.

He formed hand seals, chanting incantations, remotely controlling the operation of the formation, immediately causing chains of golden light to extend from the ground, wrapping around the training stakes like pythons, under terrifying power, directly snapping the stakes into countless flying splinters.

Earth Prison Array.

Used to restrict the opponent's movement, considered a First-tier Array.

[Skill: Array Formation (First Rank)]

[Progress: 0/500]

[Utility: One Breath]

After the first rank of array formation, the acquired entry and talisman painting were the same, both were [One Breath], no matter how troublesome the formation was, once it successfully passed once, it would not fail again.

The effect of [One Breath] might look quite ordinary in the early stage, but as the rank gets higher and the formations encountered become deeper, its function becomes increasingly significant.

According to the records in ancient texts.

Arranging high-tier formations is extremely complicated, and even the most accomplished array masters find it difficult to guarantee no mistakes when laying down a formation, many materials being extremely rare, where even a single mistake could waste the entire array plate, causing incalculable loss.

The Hundred Skills of Immortal Cultivation, from elixirs, instruments, talismans to formations, each one connects to heaven and earth, to the ultimate truth.

Formation is no exception.

Just like...

The Grand Formation of the Eastern Continent!

Someone once solely used formations to firmly seal the entire land, so much so that even the great cultivators of the cultivation world dared not cross half a step, sheltering the entire Eastern Continent!

This shows how profound and unfathomable the power of truly high-tier formations can be.

Having practiced skills.

Chen Sansi then began practicing spells.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, hands sealing and holding his breath, concentrating, producing small swords one after another in front of him, exceeding the original "twenty swords" limit, reaching thirty swords... fifty swords!
