Chapter 229: Chapter 221: 3 Years Later
Translator: 549690339
As for what the Sun Faction wanted to do by ordering the Four Great Sects to unite, even Master Qingyue did not know.
Regarding the specifics.
Even she hadn’t heard any rumours.
However, when Master Qingyue mentioned this matter, she was clear in her stance.
If she receives any news in the future, she will inform He Song as soon as possible, so he won’t be kept in the dark.
Meanwhile,
Because Master Qingyue had provided He Song with so much information, he had received an additional piece of news that was both surprising and reasonable.
Master Qingyue had been cultivating in the Thick Earth Sect for many years and was quite familiar with the Foundation Establishment stage Masters within Master Fa Xuan’s faction.
She even had two or three good friends among them.
Most of them were female cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage.
One of these friends happened to be one of Master Fa Xuan’s disciples.
Her name was Master Miao Qing.
The information she shared with He Song had come from Master Miao Qing.
He Song had been wondering, given that Master Qingyue was only at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm, where did this information come from?
Now that he knew the source, everything was clear.
It seemed.
This Master Miao Qing was the source of Master Qingyue’s information.
Being a disciple of Master Fa Xuan, even if her cultivation level was unknown and whether she was favored or not, the information she provided should be reliable.
After all,
She had direct access to information from Master Fa Xuan.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her well-informed.
After promising He Song that she would inform him as soon as possible if there was any new information, Master Qingyue took her leave.
The reasons for her visit were twofold.
First, she wanted to thank He Song in person.
Second, she wanted to inform He Song of this news.
Now that both tasks were complete, Master Qingyue naturally wouldn’t stay any longer.
As for why she chose to share this news with He Song,
One would have to ask Ping’er, Yue’er, and Chu Shuangshuang.
After sending off Master Qingyue,
He Song sorted out the new information in his mind and quickly grasped the context of this matter.
First of all,
Before he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage and was still a Qi
Refining cultivator,
The calamity that befell the Immortal Pavilion, the people who came to Immortal City, and other such matters, although they were related to the news he had just received, the connection was weak.
It wasn’t until Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was attacked, suffering heavy losses, the Thick Earth Sect went to war with the Seven Star Sect and the other sects stood by idly that these events truly corresponded with the newly obtained news.
Why did the Thick Earth Sect have two Golden Elixir Masters?
And why did they target the Seven Star Sect?
Even later, there were Upper Sect Masters involved in mediating the situation.
In the end, Master Tian Shu of the Seven Star Sect led their people away.
These matters were actually entangled in the interests between the Sun Faction and the God Locking Sect.
They had nothing to do with the Thick Earth Sect, the surrounding Golden Elixir Sects, or even the Seven Stars Sect.
All of this happened behind the scenes, orchestrated by the Sun Faction and condoned by the God Locking Sect.
As for the extra Golden Elixir Master within the Thick Earth Sect, Master Fa
Xuan.
His existence.
In He Song’s view,
Didn’t seem quite reasonable.
Given the scope of the Thick Earth Sect’s influence, it was more than capable of nurturing a Golden Elixir Master.
However, the Thick Earth Sect had to provide tribute to the Upper Sect, which greatly reduced their ability to harvest resources.
Nurturing a Golden Elixir Master each generation might have required tightening their belts. Under such circumstances,
Master Fa Xuan still emerged.
Moreover, he had gained a foothold within the Thick Earth Sect, where the Zhang faction had already taken control of all connections.
Was this… not treating the Foundation Establishment stage Masters of the Zhang faction as mere ornaments?
Without strong external pressure, even if the Zhang faction’s Foundation
Establishment Masters were indifferent,
As a Golden Elixir Master who had become the Sect Leader of the Thick Earth Sect, could you really root out the Zhang faction entirely?
Do you want this Thick Earth Sect or not?
Besides, not long after Master Fa Xuan became Sect Leader, Master Yan Shan broke through and became a Golden Elixir Master as well.
As a result, two Golden Elixir Masters appeared within the Thick Earth Sect.
But what happened?
Master Yan Shan, who had connections, a faction, and the support of most Foundation Establishment Masters, not only failed to regain the Sect Leader position but also gradually let Master Fa Xuan gain a foothold within the Thick Earth Sect and compete against him on equal footing.
Without any events occurring in between, He Song would never have believed it.
Especially considering he now had specific information and knew that the Thick Earth Sect’s takeover of the Seven Star Sect’s power was entirely due to the Sun Faction’s behind-the-scenes efforts.
As for this matter, He Song naturally wouldn’t consider it normal anymore.
This was far from being normal.
Master Fa Xuan’s existence seemed merely to provide the Thick Earth Sect with a reason to annex the Seven Star Sect’s territory. With two Golden Elixir Masters in the Thick Earth Sect, Wasn’t it necessary to expand and develop its territory? With that valid reason,
They swallowed up the territory of the Seven Star Sect.
After annexing the territory of the Seven Star Sect, wouldn’t a Golden Elixir Master need to hold it down?
How convenient.
With two Golden Elixirs in the Thick Earth Sect, one could be used to guard the original sphere of influence of the sect, and the other could guard the original sphere of influence of the Seven Star Sect.
He Songeven had some guesses about the future direction of the Thick Earth Sect.
Perhaps, by the time.
Slightly find an excuse, the two Golden Elixirs Masters put on a show, and it was announced to the public that the philosophies did not match, and they would split up.
At that time, Master Fa Xuan would take some Foundation Establishment Masters to the original sphere of influence of the Seven Star Sect and start afresh.
And Master Yan Shanwould lead the Foundation Establishment Masters of the mountain faction of the Thick Earth Sect to continue living a free and easy life within the sphere of influence of the Thick Earth Sect.
In this way.
There would be no more sect with dual Golden Elixirs, and there would be no more Thick Earth Sect that was extremely powerful.
What would take its place would be two Golden Elixir sects with strengths comparable to the surrounding Golden Core Sects.
The other Golden Core Sects would no longer be wary of the Thick Earth Sect.
Moreover, the sphere of influence of the Sun Faction could be pushed forward a step, with a larger sphere of influence and more offerings collected in the future.
However, after thinking about it, He Song still buried the suspicions in his heart.
These things.
It is not yet clear.
Because the sudden alliance of the four sects really made it hard for him to understand.
The power of the double golden elixir in the Thick Earth Sect should continue for some time.
This matter should still have follow-ups.
However, I do not know.
Whether this follow-up is good or bad for oneself.
If it’s a good thing.
Naturally, it would be good.
If it is a bad thing.
Perhaps he would have to run away directly.
Is this escape to the sphere of influence of other Golden Core Sects?
Or go to the Sun Faction to see?
The sphere of influence of the Sun Faction is much larger than that of the
Thick Earth Sect.
Finding a safe place should not be difficult.
Within the true sphere of influence of the Sun Faction, one’s safety would be greatly increased.
At least, there is no need to worry about suddenly being involved in a war.
Nascent Soul Upper Sect, would it still not be easily involved in war?
Moreover.
He is not a member of the Sun Faction, and even if the Sun Faction really fights with other Nascent Soul Upper Sects, he should not be involved in it. At most At most, he just needs to be careful when he leaves the cave mansion.
Don’t be captured to be a conscript.
With various thoughts flashing through his mind, He Song quickly put the matter of the alliance of the four sects behind him after realizing that it had no significant impact on him at the moment.
Anyway, if things change later.
Master Qingyue will inform him firsthand.
Instead of worrying here, it would be better to quickly break through the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and gain more powerful strength.
In this way, even if he runs away, he can run more smoothly.
Time flies.
The years go by.
In the blink of an eye, He Song had spent another three years in the Herbs Immortal Workshop.
In these three years.
He Song practiced every day, and the mana in his body gradually increased with the passage of time.
His strength naturally became much stronger with the increase of mana.
Now, three years have passed, and He Song’s cultivation seemed to have reached a critical juncture.
Inside the quiet room.
He Song had a calm face as he continuously operated the Thick Earth Formulas, absorbing the rich spirit Qi around him.
Threads of spirit Qi were refined by He Song, then transformed into mana and sank into the Elixir Field.
Inside He Song’s Elixir Field.
As the spirit Qi was transformed into mana, the amount of mana in He Song’s Elixir Field also steadily increased.
One day.
At a certain moment.
While continuously operating the Thick Earth Formulas, absorbing spirit Qi, He Song suddenly showed a trace of surprise on his face.
“Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, succeeded?”
Just now, as he operated the Thick Earth Formulas and absorbed spirit Qi, He Song felt a sudden surge of mana in his body, and the divine sense hidden in the Mud Palace Pellet underwent a dramatic change in that instant.
The explosive increase of mana in the body.
The dramatic change of divine sense in the Mud Palace Pellet.
And the improvement of one’s own absorption speed of the external spirit Qi.
All of these seemed to indicate that He Song had stepped from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage into the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
However, is there no bottleneck when breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment?
To break through from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the
Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, do you just need to accumulate mana?
Can you break through from Foundation Establishment Early Stage to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment simply by silently cultivating?
Various thoughts flashed through He Song’s mind.
He quickly recalled the words Meng Guan had said to him before when he asked him about it.
“The Foundation Establishment Realm is the beginning of the Immortal Path. Most people will not encounter any bottlenecks when breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.”
“Because as long as you can step into the Foundation Establishment, it means you can walk on the Immortal Path.”
“The Immortal Path is at your feet. How far you can walk depends on your own fortune.”
“From the breakthrough of Mid-stage Foundation Establishment to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, a bottleneck will gradually appear, varying from person to person.”
“Of course, if you feel a bottleneck when breaking through to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, there is no need to be discouraged.”
“Being a Foundation Establishment Master is much better than being a Qi
Refining cultivator.”
