Chapter 659: Chapter 531 Seclusive Cultivation_2

“`

In such a situation,

to He Song, this place for seclusive cultivation actually seemed to be quite hidden.

It was protected by the Golden Elixir Array.

Located deep underground,

the key areas were further obscured by Foundation Establishment Concealment Arrays to confound the senses.

Behind it, there was even an escape route that stretched for hundreds of miles to a distant location.

Such a treasure of a place would truly be a pity not to utilize.

After long contemplation, He Song finally decided to act according to his initial plan and turn this place into his spot for seclusive cultivation.

First,

He Song used his powerful mana to completely level the bottom of the expansive cave.

Any traces left behind were naturally buried deep underground by He Song’s actions, no longer in his way.

Then, he laid several Smoke Arrays at key points in the abandoned mine.

With these Smoke Arrays in place, the likelihood of other cultivators finding the vast cave where He Song was located would be greatly reduced.

Even the act of placing Smoke Arrays at key positions would not alter the structure of the abandoned mine.

If someone entered to search for opportunities, the mine pathways would remain as they were.

Only the pathways leading to where He Song resided were somewhat hidden by the Arrays he set up.

Besides that, the abandoned mine had not changed much from before.

In this way, even those who had entered this place before wouldn’t notice anything amiss should they enter again.

Under these circumstances, He Song’s temporary place of seclusion could naturally be even more secretive.

After completing all this, He Song returned to the large cave and there, set up a Spirit-Gathering Array to collect the surrounding spirit Qi.

Afterward, he also established a Divine Thunder Array to ensure his safety.

Following this, He Song quickly began his seclusive cultivation in this place.

He Song entered into his seclusion.

But in the outside world,

as time slowly moved on, a series of significant events also began to unfold.

The Golden Snake Sect.

Purple River State.

Several months after He Song’s departure,

True Monarch Fei Hu, who had started running around after He Song left, attempting to capture the Twin-winged White Tiger, was now beginning his own plan.

Within the Zichuan Prefectural Government, there were four Golden Core families.

True Monarch Fei Hu was the strongest amongst these Golden Core families.

Previously when He Song came to the Zichuan Prefectural Government, it was he who, on behalf of these four major families, came to negotiate with He Song.

Now, when True Monarch Fei Hu intended to take action against the Twin-winged White Tiger, the other three major families naturally became his primary targets for cooperation.

Although True Monarch Fei Hu knew well that among the Golden Elixir Masters of these three families, aside from the one who had always been on good terms with him, the other two were always likely to betray him.

Yet, after He Song left, he subtly sensed that the tracking mark he had left on the Twin-winged White Tiger seemed to have been disturbed.

The tracking mark had been activated.

Whether the Twin-winged White Tiger had completely mastered the power of the Golden Core Realm,

or because it had been lying around for too long and wanted to stretch its muscles,

or perhaps because it was ready to leave that place,

all these possibilities caused True Monarch Fei Hu a trace of unease in his heart.

Previously, the fact that he could notice the existence of the Twin-winged White Tiger was an extremely lucky coincidence.

If the Twin-winged White Tiger left, or did something else, he feared he might never be able to find its whereabouts again in his life.

Under such circumstances, the urgency in True Monarch Fei Hu’s heart was naturally imaginable.

Therefore, even though he was aware that the other two Golden Elixir Masters could betray him at any time,

True Monarch Fei Hu still had no choice but to take a gamble and seize this last chance to capture the Twin-winged White Tiger.

If he succeeded, True Monarch Fei Hu could naturally soar into the sky.

Perhaps in the future, he would even make a renowned name for himself within the Golden Core realm.

“`

If he were to fail.

He feared he might never encounter such an opportunity again in this lifetime.

However, regarding his own safety, True Monarch Fei Hu still had some confidence.

Having reached the Golden Core Middle Stage, even if betrayed and he missed catching the Twin-winged White Tiger, it was highly unlikely that he would die from this endeavor.

A cultivator in the Golden Core Middle Stage was by no means weak within the Golden Elixir Realm.

Only a cultivator who had achieved Great Perfection in the Golden Core could utterly overpower him.

But.

There were numerous bottlenecks in the Golden Core Realm, and even He Song faced one on the path from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of Golden Elixir. What more for others?

Once other Gold Core Cultivators encountered a bottleneck, they would likely be trapped at their current level until death.

Just like Master Xing Yan, who upon realizing that he could not make further breakthroughs, simply gave up altogether.

As such, the number of cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection in the Golden Core Realm is actually quite small.

Most cultivators are stuck at the Early Stage, Middle Stage, or Later Stage of the Golden Core.

These people’s strength cannot be said to be weak.

But True Monarch Fei Hu, who had reached the Golden Core Middle Stage, could not be considered weak in front of these cultivators.

It was also for this reason that True Monarch Fei Hu didn’t feel too great a sense of crisis about his own life safety.

With his strength, although catching the Twin-winged White Tiger was not a sure thing,

he still had the confidence to retreat safely from this affair.

Even if the other two betrayed him, drawing out an elder from the Nascent Soul Upper Sect.

As long as he made it clear he wouldn’t get in the way, they would most likely let him leave.

In such a case.

True Monarch Fei Hu naturally thought about giving it a shot.

After all, there wasn’t much risk, and it wouldn’t lead to his death.

At most, he would just give up on this matter.

But if he were to succeed, his cultivation path hereafter could be incredibly smooth.

Not to mention growing stronger, he might even have the chance to glimpse into the Nascent Soul Realm.

Such a risk-free and highly rewarding venture, True Monarch Fei Hu naturally would not let it pass.

The same would be true for other cultivators; they would likely not pass it up either.

Moreover, since the mark he left on the Twin-winged White Tiger had been triggered, True Monarch Fei Hu dared not delay.

Even though he knew the chances of success were now extremely slim, he had no choice but to proceed down this path to the end.

Hence, just a few short months later, True Monarch Fei Hu had already reached a consensus with three other Golden Elixir Masters from the Zichuan Prefecture Government and set off together in search of the Twin-winged White Tiger.

The journey to find the Twin-winged White Tiger was not perilous.

When four Golden Elixir Masters traveled together, any crisis would certainly be smoothed over, and not the slightest ripple would arise.

And it was while True Monarch Fei Hu and the other four Golden Elixir Masters were following the tracking mark in search of the Twin-winged White Tiger that.

He Song, who had been in seclusive cultivation for several months,

suddenly received a transmission one day.

“Fellow Daoist, several months have passed since we parted; I hope you are well.”

“Previously, I invited you to join me in capturing the Twin-winged White Tiger. That affair has already ended, and I hope you will not dwell on it.”

“Now, I have set off with a few fellow Golden Core cultivators to capture the Twin-winged White Tiger. May I ask where you are at present?”

“Have you already left Purple River State, heading to another Immortal State?”

“Or have you already left the area of influence of the Golden Snake Sect?”

“Rest assured, I am not trying to probe, fellow Daoist, but I seek your help.”

“Capturing the Twin-winged White Tiger is quite dangerous.”

“Although I am confident in my own strength, until the outcome is clear, even with my cultivation at the Golden Core Middle Stage, I still cannot ensure a safe return without injury.”

“If something goes wrong with this matter, my life could hang on someone else’s whim.”

“Before this, after careful reflection, I ultimately decided to secretly send away some of the Zhao family’s younger generation to avoid the whole family being slaughtered should I die.”

“Among them, one of the Zhao family’s children was sent by me to the Immortal Pavilion within the Purple River Immortal State.”
