Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Arrow Momentum, Race to the Moon

“Yi’s Archery…”

After Li Chang Feng finished his instructions, he left unrestrained. Zhou Chen opened the secret manual and found that Yi’s Archery had three ultimate moves: the “Yi’s Arrow Shoots into the Sky” he had comprehended, as well as “Race to the Moon” and “Shoot the Sun”.

These three ultimate moves actually represent the three realms of Yi’s Archery: Arrow Intent, Arrow Momentum, and Arrow Soul.

The first move, “Yi’s Arrow Shoots into the Sky”, which Zhou Chen had previously comprehended through the accumulation of points and his enlightenment in a life-or-death situation, was the first realm, Arrow Intent.

Whether one comprehends the arrow moves based on their own understanding of Yi’s Archery or follows the guidance of the secret manual, the moves each person comprehends are actually different.

Just like a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets.

However, this difference is only within the framework of Yi’s Archery. As long as someone understands Yi’s Archery, they can recognize that it is Yi’s Archery.

Just like a white horse turning into a black horse, would you not recognize that it is still a horse?
【Yi’s Arrow Shoots into the Sky（Arrow Intent 95/1000）】

“Add points.”

Glancing at the Arrow Intent, which was only a little over nine hundred points away from completion, Zhou Chen directly added the points.

In an instant.

Zhou Chen felt as if he had been holding the Sunset Bow day and night, comprehending Arrow Intent for ten years without a break, and finally achieved enlightenment in a single day, completing Arrow Intent.

A terrifying aura of sharpness emanated from Zhou Chen’s body. His eyes seemed to flash with an arrow’s edge, piercing straight into one’s heart.

【Race to the Moon（Arrow Momentum 0/10000）】

“The second move, ‘Race to the Moon’, actually requires ten thousand points?”

Zhou Chen glanced at the remaining twenty thousand Source Points. This was the hard-earned money he had earned by defeating an entire brothel in the past few days. He did not hesitate to add ten thousand points.

After all, this was an ultimate move that could allow Zhou Chen to unleash ten or even a hundred times the destructive power under the same level of strength.

He had to add points!
In an instant.

Zhou Chen felt as if he had been carrying his bow and arrows everywhere, whether walking, sitting, eating, or drinking, comprehending them day and night, never letting go of his bow even when sleeping, for decades without a break.

Finally.

On a night with a bright full moon, Zhou Chen achieved enlightenment in “Race to the Moon”, completing Arrow Momentum.

With a single arrow shot, the vast momentum of heaven and earth crushed down, and a full moon slowly rose from the sea, the arrow piercing the sky, racing towards the moon.

“Hiss!”

Zhou Chen opened his eyes, two full moons seeming to rise in his pupils, his heart filled with shock.

This move was too powerful.

Zhou Chen felt that even Bai Gui Nong would not be able to withstand this arrow.

This was definitely Zhou Chen’s strongest long-range attack.

As for close combat, nothing was more effective than the Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand.

【Shoot the Sun（Arrow Soul 0/100000）】

“The third move actually requires one hundred thousand Romance Points, but its power is probably beyond imagination!”

Zhou Chen still had ten thousand Source Points left. Adding them wouldn’t have much effect, so he kept them in reserve.

“Brother Chen, what are we having for dinner?”

Qin Hong Yu walked over, her stomach already growling.

Although their house was large, there was no food.

“Tonight, let’s go to Senior Sister’s place for a meal and ask about the situation.”

Zhou Chen restrained his aura and took Qin Hong Yu to Li Chang Hen’s house.

Li Chang Hen’s residence, the Li Mansion, was not far from Zhou Chen’s, about a few dozen meters away. As for Li Chang Feng’s residence, it was on the mountaintop.

“Senior Sister, I’m here for a meal!”

Zhou Chen knocked on the door and shouted inside.

Creak.

The door opened, revealing a delicate and beautiful young girl, who bowed gracefully:
“Greetings, Senior Brother Zhou, Madam Zhou!”

“Please come in.”

“Thank you.”

Zhou Chen glanced at the girl, who seemed to be around Body Refinement Fourth Level. She should be an Outer Sect Disciple serving Li Chang Hen. The Azure Cloud Sect’s standard for recruiting Miscellaneous Duties Disciples was that they had to be under eighteen years old and above Body Refinement Second Level.

Outer Sect Disciples needed to be under twenty years old and above Body Refinement Fourth Level, while Inner Sect Disciples needed to be under thirty years old and above Body Refinement Seventh Level.

Someone like Zhang Long, the County Captain of Qing He County, wouldn’t even qualify to be a Miscellaneous Duties Disciple.

As for Chen Feng, the daughter of the County Magistrate of Qing He County, who had practiced martial arts since childhood and had no lack of resources, she had reached Body Refinement Second Level at the age of sixteen. Joining the Azure Cloud Sect as a Miscellaneous Duties Disciple would be no problem, and she even had a high chance of being promoted to an Outer Sect Disciple.

Unfortunately, fate had not been kind to her. She encountered bandits from Crouching Dragon Mountain and was even violated and humiliated by them.

Although she had been saved in time by Zhou Chen and Zhang Long, the physical and mental torture had caused her to suffer mentally.

She might never be able to escape that shadow for the rest of her life.

Life was unpredictable.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen’s desire to become stronger grew even more intense.

Only strength could control one’s own destiny.

Arriving at the backyard, Zhou Chen saw Li Chang Hen practicing archery. She was pulling back the bowstring but not releasing it, a mysterious aura surging around her.

“Senior Sister has indeed learned the second move, ‘Race to the Moon’, and comprehended Arrow Momentum, but she probably hasn’t reached completion yet…”

Zhou Chen thought to himself.

However, with Li Chang Hen’s strength at Body Refinement Ninth Level, even if she hadn’t reached completion, the power of her arrow was definitely not something Zhou Chen could compare to.

“You’re here.”

Li Chang Hen put away her bow, not surprised by Zhou Chen’s arrival.

Zhou Chen was new here, so he would definitely have many questions. And she knew that Li Chang Feng would definitely throw Zhou Chen to her and go off to enjoy himself.

“Senior Sister.”

Zhou Chen and Qin Hong Yu followed Li Chang Hen to the main hall.

Servants had already prepared the meal and brought it up.

“Senior Sister, Master said that the True Inheritance Ceremony will be held in a month and told me to prepare well. What do I need to prepare?”

Zhou Chen asked as he ate.

“The True Inheritance Ceremony is a rare event for the sect. Although those sects on the same level as the Azure Cloud Sect disdain to come, the forces under the jurisdiction of Yun Meng and Qing Yun Prefectures will definitely come.”

Li Chang Hen said slowly:
“Although they are not subordinate forces to the Azure Cloud Sect, they must give face to the dominant force in the two prefectures.”

“Generally, during the True Inheritance Ceremony, various forces will send their talented disciples to spar with the newly promoted True Inheritance Disciples.”

“Of course, it must be at the same realm, and the age difference cannot exceed five years.”

Zhou Chen nodded. With his strength, he had nothing to worry about.

However…

“Senior Sister, if Master finds an Arrow Spirit Body, but they haven’t cultivated yet, wouldn’t it be very embarrassing if they couldn’t win during the True Inheritance Ceremony?”

Zhou Chen asked doubtfully.

“What you can think of, couldn’t the countless ancestors of the Azure Cloud Sect, which has stood for twelve hundred years, think of?”

Li Chang Hen glanced at Zhou Chen and explained:
“In the situation you mentioned, the True Inheritance Ceremony will be postponed until they reach Body Refinement Seventh Level. During this period, they will still enjoy some of the benefits of a True Inheritance Disciple.”

“However, there will be cultivation progress assessments every once in a while. If they fail to pass, their True Inheritance Disciple benefits will be revoked.”

“Your True Inheritance Ceremony is being held in a month because Master knows that you have comprehended Arrow Intent and are considered quite good at Body Refinement Seventh Level, enough to handle the True Inheritance Ceremony.”

“The Azure Cloud Sect’s True Inheritance Ceremony has a history of five hundred years, and no True Inheritance Disciple has ever been defeated during the ceremony. At most, it’s a draw.”

Li Chang Hen looked at Zhou Chen meaningfully and said:
“Because even if the opponent is slightly stronger, they will still fight to a draw.”

Zhou Chen: “…”

So, in the end, the Azure Cloud Sect was just using its power to suppress others.

Only victory was allowed, no defeat.

But it made sense.

Cultivation was not just about fighting and killing, but also about interpersonal relationships.
