Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

In this way, He Song’s departure from Golden Snake Sect to seek refuge in the Purple Cloud Sect didn’t seem to put him in danger after all.

At worst, he could give An Ning’s Jinsha Immortal Lane a glance and then promptly leave thereafter.

After all, He Song had also built two concealed mansions within the Purple Cloud Sect.

Merely squatting at one of these hidden locations would probably suffice for He Song to safely continue his cultivation within the Purple Cloud Sect.

As long as no major incidents like the recent ones in Purple River State occurred nearby, He Song naturally could continue his cultivation in peace.

With this in mind, He Song further increased the speed of the Lower Grade Spiritual Instrument Flying Boat he was controlling.

Purple River State was no longer a place to stay for long.

It was best to leave this place as soon as possible and make for the Purple Cloud Sect.

With such thoughts, He Song hastened his journey, swiftly leaving the area of influence of the Golden Snake Sect, and entered the territory of the Sun Faction.

Once He Song, controlling the Lower-grade Spiritual Tool flying boat, left the sphere of influence of the Purple River State, he looked back.

The weather in Purple River State was still clear.

But the faint aura of malevolence contained within gave He Song a sense of a thorn at his back.

This aura of malevolence did not truly exist within Purple River State.

Instead, it was a figment emerging in his heart from his deductions about the subsequent situations, belonging to illusion and not reality.

Even so, He Song felt as if he had indeed seen this malevolent aura. When he looked toward Purple River State, his gaze flickered with a hint of a sigh.

Would that place soon face a violent and bloody storm?

However, it was unknown whether the Fighting Laws among the Golden Elixir Masters would lead to the downfall of a few of them.

Shaking his head, He Song took one last glance in the direction of Purple River State, but ultimately turned his head and traveled toward a place farther away.

By now, he had left Purple River State, left the sphere of influence of the Golden Snake Sect, and entered that of the Sun Faction.

But the Sun Faction’s territory was not exactly peaceful either.

To avoid being captured by the Sun Faction cultivators for forced labor, He Song swiftly set off for the Purple Cloud Sect.

Just like that.

Only after ten days did He Song finally cross the region of the Sun Faction and enter the territory of the Purple Cloud Sect.

Purple Cloud Sect.

Hu State.

A few hundred miles away from Jinsha Immortal Lane.

He Song casually set up a Divine Thunder Array there.

Although He Song had come this way just to take a look at An Ning and discover why she had wanted him to visit for all these years.

Even if he was only planning to stay in Jinsha Immortal Lane for a few days before leaving,

He had nonetheless prepared a way out for himself.

Even though He Song was unlikely to encounter any danger with his current level of cultivation, the practice of leaving oneself a way out had always been He Song’s insistence.

This time would be no exception.

After setting up a Celestial God Thunder Array a few hundred miles away from Jinsha Immortal Lane as his escape route,

He Song, after some contemplation, chose to conceal his Golden Elixir Realm cultivation and, appearing just like a Foundation Establishment True Person, turned into a golden tunneling light, heading toward the distant Jinsha Immortal Lane.

However, the cultivation level He Song currently revealed had reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm.

Within the Foundation Establishment Realm, such cultivation was a peak.

Even if An Ning’s cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, her prowess and strength would still be completely dominated by the cultivation He Song was now displaying.

A cultivator at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment could easily kill an Early Foundation Establishment cultivator, as they were several minor realms apart.

With such cultivation, He Song wasn’t worried An Ning might harbor other thoughts.

Aside from that.

The arrival of a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment in an Immortal Pavilion would certainly cause a stir, but it definitely wouldn’t create an uproar across the nearby Immortal Pavilions and Immortal Cities.

But if a Gold Core Cultivator were to suddenly arrive at an Immortal Pavilion…

It wouldn’t just be the surrounding Immortal Pavilions and Immortal Cities talking, it’s likely that the master of the Wind Snow Palace controlling the area would come out of their Sect Gate to meet He Song personally.

Within its area of influence, a Golden Elixir Master had suddenly appeared.

Any Sect Leader would likely be unable to stay seated and would personally come to investigate, to avoid any misunderstandings.

Under such circumstances, He Song’s whereabouts, as well as his relationship with An Ning, were probably impossible to conceal.

If such a scene were to occur, it certainly was not what He Song wished to encounter.

Therefore, He Song simply concealed his true cultivation level and, posing as a Foundation Establishment True Person, hurried to Jinsha Immortal Lane to meet with An Ning.

As the golden tunneling light transformed by He Song gradually approached Jinsha Immortal Lane.

Inside Jinsha Immortal Lane.

An Ning, who had been anticipating He Song’s visit in the next few days, now had a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

In her senses, a powerful presence was coming from afar and rapidly approaching the location of Jinsha Immortal Lane.

Having previously communicated with He Song and known the time of his visit, she immediately realized the identity of the newcomer.

Therefore, she did not bother with anything else; she only left a message to her subordinates to prepare a banquet, then transformed into a tunneling light and headed outside Jinsha Immortal Lane to welcome him.

Outside Jinsha Immortal Lane.

As the golden and blue tunneling lights met.

The figures of He Song and An Ning both emerged from within the tunneling lights.

As their eyes met.

The joy in An Ning’s eyes was genuine as she clasped her hands and took the initiative to greet him.

“Junior An Ning, has met with Senior,” she said.

“It has been many years since we’ve met, yet Senior’s grace remains unchanged.”

“Your cultivation seems to have advanced significantly, which is truly a joyous occasion to celebrate.”

“Senior, please follow me. I have prepared a banquet at the mansion to welcome and cleanse the dust of travel.”

As An Ning’s voice continued to be heard, He Song’s gaze swept over her figure, and his eyes, too, carried a hint of a smile.

However, he did not say much, just nodded his head and gestured An Ning to lead the way.

Seeing this, An Ning immediately took the lead.

He Song, following behind An Ning, had a slightly odd expression on his face.

An Ning had previously said that it had been many years since she had seen him and that He Song’s grace remained unchanged.

This was true, as cultivators could easily maintain their appearance to their liking, and He Song’s appearance had always been that of a young man, naturally unchanged.

But what An Ning said next, claiming that He Song’s cultivation looked to have greatly improved, was a welcome development.

It immediately made He Song understand that An Ning’s words were likely all meant to cheer him up.

In front of An Ning, He Song had always displayed cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm.

This level of cultivation had been maintained ever since He Song brought An Ning from Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion to Green Moon Immortal State.

Now, He Song was still maintaining the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation level.

So where could there be talk of great improvement and celebration?

An Ning, being in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, how could she discern He Song’s true cultivation level?

Thinking of this, He Song chuckled inwardly, but he did not expose the truth. Instead, he simply followed An Ning into Jinsha Immortal Lane.

Jinsha Immortal Lane.

Ever since An Ning knew that He Song would arrive at Jinsha Immortal Lane in the coming days, she had arranged many decorations inside Jinsha Immortal Lane.

And the cultivators of Jinsha Immortal Lane, who had been quite curious and wondering why An Ning had done this,

realized upon seeing another Foundation Establishment True Person being welcomed from the outside today.

Indeed, the Master Guardian had decorated the place because another Foundation Establishment True Person was coming to visit.

The visit of a foreign Foundation Establishment True Person naturally stirred up excitement among the Qi Refining cultivators of Jinsha Immortal Lane.

In their hearts, a Foundation Establishment True Person was a mighty existence like the heavens themselves.

On ordinary days, it was difficult even to get a glimpse of one.

But now, seeing two Foundation Establishment True Persons at the same time, as An Ning, the Master Guardian, welcomed another one from outside,

this grand occasion immediately made the usually quiet Jinsha Immortal Lane come alive with a hum of voices.
