Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Although it was just a verbal thanks for now, such a sentiment was deeply etched in He Song’s heart.

After repeated attempts by Master Luo Jing to befriend him, He Song was not blind, he could clearly see her intentions.

Following these many encounters, He Song also developed a considerable sense of gratitude towards Master Luo Jing.

Perhaps, should Master Luo Jing ever find herself in trouble,

Just as Meng Guan and Wei Fan had been embroiled in the great war between the Sun Faction and the God Locking Sect in the past,

As long as it did not threaten his own safety, He Song would still choose to help if he could.

Of course, if it threatened He Song’s personal safety,

He Song would seek revenge on their behalf once he became stronger.

As for other matters,

He Song was afraid he would be powerless to assist.

After thanking Master Luo Jing, He Song quickly immersed himself in seclusive cultivation once again.

This time,

He Song obtained the Fu Hua Record within Hu Prefecture.

It was almost identical to the Green Leaf Elixir Collection He Song had obtained in Cloud State Mansion,

And the Cultivation Fate Array Collection he had received in Biyue Prefecture—each containing methods for crafting various Golden Core items.

Golden Core Talisman Path.

Golden Core Alchemy Path.

Golden Core Array Dao.

All three paths were pursued concurrently.

He Song soon became engrossed in the study of these three skills.

However, even as he dedicated himself to comprehending these skills, He Song never forgot to continue his cultivation and the practice of Golden Elixir Skills.

Cultivation was always the foundation of personal strength.

This fact was never forgotten by He Song.

He took Earth Element Elixirs daily to increase his cultivation,

And Heart-Clearing Elixirs to purge the Elixir poison from his body.

Supplemented by the dense spirit Qi from the Complete Spirit Gathering Formation, He Song’s cultivation speed naturally began to soar.

Skills were the art of protection.

With the formidable power of Golden Elixir Skills, the two that He Song had received from Meng Guan were still in the process of being mastered.

Once He Song became proficient in both skills, his power would undoubtedly increase.

Before this period, He Song had spent eight years in seclusion, during which he had become proficient in the Blood-burning Escape Skill.

However, he had not yet had time to master the Returning Origin-Returning Skill.

Now, returning to seclusion, He Song naturally chose to also master this skill, further enhancing his ability to protect himself.

—————–

Time flew by.

Years passed like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, He Song had been cultivating in his temporary cave mansion for a full ten years.

During these ten years of arduous practice, the mana within his body grew rapidly.

On the path from the early stage to the middle stage of the Golden Core, he took a significant step forward.

But even after ten years of cultivation, He Song’s cultivation base still had not successfully broken through to the Mid Golden Core Stage.

However, what pleased He Song a little was,

He could feel the mana in his Golden Core starting to become increasingly full.

According to his estimation, perhaps after a few more years of cultivation, his cultivation could gradually become perfected, and then he could make a breakthrough to the Mid Golden Core Stage.

Nowadays, with each day of cultivation, he could feel the mana in his Golden Core becoming fuller, and once perfected, he could make a push toward the Mid Golden Core Stage.

And this time, according to He Song’s estimate, would not be too far off.

It was only a matter of a few years.

Perhaps, after a few years, He Song would be able to directly face the bottleneck from the early to the middle stage of Golden Core.

By then, He Song would probably need to contemplate on his own how to successfully break through the bottleneck between the early and middle stages of Golden Core.

Previously, He Song had encountered bottlenecks in his cultivation path as well.

When breaking through from the sixth-tier Qi Refining to the seventh-tier Qi Refining, He Song was once hindered by this bottleneck for a full half-year.

Although after half a year, without taking any elixirs, He Song managed to break through the bottleneck on his own, how could the bottleneck in the Qi Refining stage compare with that of the Golden Elixir Realm?

In the past, the reason He Song was only stuck at the bottleneck for half a year was mainly because of his four spirits roots.

The aptitude of his four spirits roots made the bottleneck between the Qi-refining mid stage and the Qi-refining late stage not too much of an obstacle for him.

But times have changed.

Now that his cultivation has reached the Golden Core, He Song, who foresaw that he might encounter a bottleneck again, naturally did not feel as relaxed as before.

However, even if he were to encounter a bottleneck, for He Song, it was merely a minor obstacle on his path of cultivation.

For He Song, encountering a bottleneck did not concern him too much.

Instead, his heart was filled with greater anticipation for the continuous filling of mana within the Golden Core.

The growth of mana inside the Golden Core also led to a significant increase in He Song’s own strength.

The more mana within the Golden Core, the more mana He Song naturally used when casting skills.

The greater the consumption of mana, the more powerful the skills He Song cast would naturally become.

In such a case, the growth of He Song’s mana naturally also brought about an increase in his own strength.

Apart from the continuous filling of mana and the significant growth in his own strength, He Song’s advancement in other aspects was also considerable.

Now.

Ten years have passed.

At the start of his seclusive cultivation, He Song had made up his mind to master the two Golden Elixir Skills he acquired from Meng Guan, and now that aspiration had long since been realized.

Eight years ago, He Song had already successfully mastered the Virgin Origin-Returning Skill.

Additionally, the Blood-burning Escape Skill had been mastered during his previous seclusive cultivation.

He Song had completely mastered the two Golden Elixir Skills he got from Meng Guan, and his strength had naturally welcomed a significant increase.

Especially in terms of his survival ability.

With the enhancement of these two Golden Elixir Skills, it had become incredibly strong.

Based on He Song’s estimation of his own power level, even he would not be able to break his own defenses in a common duel.

Together with the frightening speed of the Blood-burning Escape Skill, it was extremely important for escaping.

After mastering these two Golden Elixir Skills, He Song’s ability to survive and escape had become much stronger than before.

Beyond the two Golden Elixir Skills gained from Meng Guan.

He Song’s achievements in array tao were not insignificant either.

Now, ten years had gone by.

But just two years earlier, He Song had already successfully set up the Qimen Array Juyuan Array from the Cultivation Fate Array Collection.

Under the effects of the Qimen Array Juyuan Array, the somewhat heterogeneous mana in He Song’s Golden Core, due to the modifications in his cultivation skill, was also becoming purer over time.

When the vast mana inside his body became purer and more akin to an extension of his limbs, He Song’s strength was bound to undergo some changes.

In these two years, He Song’s strength was constantly improving, and the mana in his body was also becoming purer every moment.

Although He Song did not know how long the Gathering Essence Array would take to make the mana in his Golden Core utterly pure.

But He Song did know.

This was merely a matter of time.

As time continued to pass, as the effects of the Gathering Essence Array continued to manifest in He Song’s body.

The heterogeneous mana within He Song’s Golden Core would naturally become increasingly pure as time elapsed.

Perhaps, one day, the mana within He Song’s Golden Core would become completely pure, and the Juyuan Array would no longer be able to make the mana any purer.

At that time, the Juyuan Array would naturally have completed its mission.

However, if He Song were to continue changing his cultivation techniques in the future, the existence of the Gathering Essence Array would be the guarantee for him to quickly regain his strength.

With the Gathering Essence Array, even if He Song changed his cultivation techniques many times in the future, the mana within his body would not become overly heterogeneous, and his strength would not be greatly reduced.
