Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 893: Chapter 648: The Advent of Opportunity_2

However, no one knows what kind of price this person had to pay to enlist the help of two Golden Elixir Masters with spirit beasts and jointly undertake this deed.

No one knew.

Even to this day, the true origins of this Golden Elixir Master are unknown to anyone.

Even his name is not known.

Therefore, the Golden Core powers near the family of the Ice Cloud True Monarch, although they all cursed in their hearts that this person’s actions were too much,

they still had no idea who was so bold.

...

This matter,

even the Golden Elixir Family where the Ice Cloud True Monarch belonged did not find out for a long time.

And the Nascent Soul Grand Perfection Cultivator within that Golden Elixir Family could only begin cultivating the next generation of the family after raging in impotence.

Since the new generation’s lead figure had died unexpectedly,

it was natural to cultivate at least one Golden Elixir Master for the family to ensure its continuation.

As for taking vengeance for the Ice Cloud True Monarch,

it could wait until his lifespan was about to end and the true identity of the adversary had been found.

However,

as time passed,

He Song had never again heard any news related to the Ice Cloud True Monarch and the family behind him.

According to He Song’s guess, that Nascent Soul Grand Perfection Cultivator, thirty years after He Song’s seclusive cultivation,

had probably passed away.

And up until his death, he probably never discovered the identity of the Golden Elixir Master who acted against the Ice Cloud True Monarch.

Otherwise, even if his lifespan was coming to an end, he would probably have been able to drag a Golden Core Middle Stage Master with him in burial before dying.

The reason He Song hadn’t received subsequent news about this matter

was probably because that person had already exhausted his lifespan and died.

Besides,

during the thirty years of his seclusive cultivation, He Song had also heard through the messages from Xiao Qing about various fortuitous encounters emerging into the world.

In Luo Feng Province and Smoke-Cloud State, as well as in several other major Immortal States nearby,

there were indeed treasures that had appeared over these thirty years.

Among these, there were Golden Elixir cave mansions.

There were also demonic beasts at the Golden Elixir level,

and even other opportunities.

However, these events had not sparked great interest in He Song, who was in seclusive cultivation at the time.

Therefore, while He Song was aware of these opportunities, he only had a rough understanding of them.

For example, He Song had heard about the emergence of several Golden Elixir cave mansions during these thirty years.

And naturally, each of these mansions, upon their discovery, also attracted the covetousness of numerous Golden Elixir Masters.

But what left the deepest impression on He Song,

was the appearance of one particular Golden Elixir cave mansion which was inadvertently discovered by a Foundation Establishment True Person at the time of its emergence.

As a result, this Foundation Establishment cultivator entered it immediately, thoroughly scavenging the cave mansion.

And subsequently slipped away quietly.

This incident was not known to outsiders.

Only after the Foundation Establishment cultivator relied on the resources found within to step into the Golden Core Realm did he disclose this matter.

This revelation then caused a stir among the cultivators.

Although he disclosed the matter, and even precisely revealed the location of the Golden Elixir cave mansion,

since he had successfully broken through to the Golden Core Realm and later joined the Golden Snake Sect,

despite many cultivators’ keen interest, none dared to take action against him.

Therefore, after truly learning of the incident, most cultivators would at most visit the location he mentioned to see for themselves the Golden Elixir cave mansion that had already been ransacked.

Beyond that, other cultivators only remarked on this person’s good fortune over casual conversation.

A Golden Elixir cave mansion, upon its emergence, was discovered by a passing Foundation Establishment True Person,

and it even contributed to the birth of a Golden Elixir Master.

Such stories are widely circulated in the Cultivation World.

And even this incited the cultivators who heard about it to begin carefully searching for treasures within the vast surrounding area.

It’s worth mentioning that,

when a large number of cultivators started exploring for opportunities, they indeed unearthed quite a few good things.

However, since this matter could spread, it could naturally reach the ears of various Golden Elixir Masters.

When a real Golden Elixir cave mansion was excavated, and the news leaked thereafter,

the Golden Elixir Masters nearby would naturally follow and take the treasures from within for themselves.

Even the emergence of other extremely valuable treasures in various places would attract one Golden Elixir Master after another.

Such a spectacle indeed caused the activity level of Golden Elixir Masters in Luo Feng Province and nearby provinces of Smoke-Cloud State, along with several Immortal States, to rise by a notch.

Fortunately, however,

He Song did not notice any disturbances in the arrays he had set up in Luo Feng Province during this period.

Presumably, those cultivators had not found the arrays laid out by He Song.

But even so, He Song became somewhat vigilant about this.

This was exactly the reason why He Song harbored two speculations when he noticed disturbances in his own arranged arrays.

What if, what if the disturbance in the arrays this time was not the emergence of the Taiyin Puppet he had crafted,

but rather cultivators who, with nothing better to do, were attacking the arrays he had set up?

How should he respond then?

With these thoughts, He Song naturally prepared to act at any moment as he rushed to the location where the Taiyin Puppet lay.

Beyond that, Luo Feng Province and Smoke-Cloud State had seen quite a few incidents occur during the thirty years of He Song’s seclusive cultivation.

Yet, for He Song, knowing about the affairs of the outside world was just that—knowing.

If one were to expect him to get involved, that was nothing but wishful thinking.

Not to mention that He Song was in seclusive cultivation at the time, but even now that he was out,

He Song would avoid involvement in external affairs whenever possible.

Naturally, He Song noted most of the major occurrences in the outside world during these thirty years in his mind and that was all.

He did not dwell on them excessively, nor did he pay too much attention.

After all, He Song only needed to know that these things would not have too great an impact on himself.

As long as they did not affect his own safety, no matter what happened outside, He Song naturally did not care too much.

However, apart from that,

The various news He Song heard from friends afar did catch his attention somewhat.

During these thirty years of He Song’s seclusion, he had received several messages from An Ning and the pair, Meng Guan and Wei Fan, as well as from the duo, Luo Jing and Yun Jing.

All five of them are now far away from He Song.

An Ning is still in Cloud-Foot Prefecture, where the Wind and Snow Palace Mountain Gate is located.

That’s right.

Even after becoming a Nascent Soul Upper Sect for decades, the Wind Snow Palace still stands in Cloud-Foot Prefecture, taking it as their Sect Gate.

Its disciples naturally remain within Cloud-Foot Prefecture, mingling with the loose cultivators and families there.

Although this practice seems to indeed damage the face of Nascent Soul Upper Sects in the eyes of outsiders, and does not greatly benefit the cultivation of its disciples,

Elder Phantom Snow has not rushed to choose a new site and build a Nascent Soul Sect Gate.

The Wind Snow Palace is not yet on solid footing.

Despite having been rooted in Cloud-Foot and the nearby three major Immortal States for decades,

it still lacks deep foundations.

If they were to rashly spend huge resources to open a Sect Gate at this time, and in case of an enemy attack they couldn’t withstand,

the resources that the Wind Snow Palace had accumulated over the years might be washed away.

Elder Phantom Snow is of course well aware of this.

Therefore, An Ning’s continued presence in Cloud-Foot Prefecture is quite normal.

The Wind Snow Palace currently has no plan whatsoever to open a Nascent Soul Sect Gate elsewhere.

However, although the Wind Snow Palace still has no plans to establish a Nascent Soul Sect Gate decades after coming to this place,

the changes among the disciples of the Wind Snow Palace have been tremendous.

Decades ago, the Wind Snow Palace was really just a Golden Core Sect that appeared ordinary on the surface but was also quite ordinary in reality.
