Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 757: 580

Within the emergency order,

it did not specify what had happened within the Wind Snow Palace.

The Foundation Establishment True Persons who received this urgent command might harbor all kinds of speculations.

In their conjectures,

the Wind Snow Palace could be facing a crisis.

It might even be on the verge of a catastrophe that could lead to its destruction.

More plausibly, the Sect might need to relocate entirely.

And if one were to rush back to the Wind Snow Palace with such suspicions,

their affection for the Wind Snow Palace would naturally need no further explanation.

Such a being, no matter where they were placed, would surely be heavily relied upon.

However, although He Song’s mind raced with numerous thoughts, even sensing that the emergence of a Nascent Soul cultivator within the Wind Snow Palace was highly probable,

He Song also knew

that these matters could not be disclosed to An Ning without any definitive news.

After all, these were but He Song’s speculations.

There was no factual basis.

They were merely conjectures stemming from the Sect Leader’s urgent command.

Based on these speculations alone, if he were to tell An Ning to hasten back to the Wind Snow Palace, it wasn’t a matter of whether An Ning would believe him or not.

Even He Song could not persuade himself to do so.

Consequently, after much deliberation,

He Song ultimately decided not to inform An Ning of the situation. Instead, he subtly reminded her to carefully observe the movements of the other cultivators within the Wind Snow Palace in the coming days.

Besides that, he did not say much more, simply instructing An Ning to continue waiting quietly in Hu Prefecture until the right moment arose.

When the time came, whether to leave or stay would depend on how the situation developed later on.

In this way,

after calming An Ning down,

He Song’s subsequent life in Luo Feng Province became peaceful once more.

Originally, on his journey from the Vast Wave Secret Realm to Luo Feng Province, He Song was constantly on edge.

And now, having learned of the matters pertaining to the Wind Snow Palace, he reflected on what he had seen and heard within the Vast Wave Secret Realm and had quite a few thoughts.

Those nine Golden Elixir Arrays,

as well as the White Jade Palace within the central Golden Elixir Array of the Vast Wave Secret Realm,

kept reappearing in He Song’s mind.

Various details he hadn’t noticed at first were gradually becoming clearer with the passage of time.

As a Golden Elixir Master, He Song had an exceptionally strong memory of everything he experienced.

Having a photographic memory was but a trifling matter for any cultivator.

Under such circumstances, as He Song continually recalled what he had seen and heard, he began to understand why his body had warned him back then.

The connecting of nine arrays was extraordinary in itself.

Furthermore, the concentration of spirit Qi within the central array far exceeded that of the other eight.

Although He Song did not feel anything at the time,n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

his body must have sensed that something was amiss.

In addition, the multitude of Precious Spiritual Herbs He Song sensed within the ninth Golden Elixir Array differed in age from those in the other arrays.

It seemed that due to the higher concentration of spirit Qi, the Precious Spiritual Herbs within the ninth Golden Elixir Array possessed stronger medicinal effects and appeared older than those within the other eight arrays.

This also indirectly confirmed that the concentration of spirit Qi within the ninth Golden Elixir Array was indeed richer than in the other eight arrays.

Moreover, within the ninth Golden Elixir Array, there was a White Jade Palace.

In the context where only heavenly materials were cultivated within the other eight arrays,

a White Jade Palace with white jade steps simply and conspicuously stood within such a Qi-rich array.

Such a situation undeniably aroused He Song’s vigilance.

And this was perhaps the very reason why He Song’s body had immediately warned him.

Without the presence of the nine Golden Elixir Arrays and that White Jade Palace within the ninth array, He Song’s body would not have signaled an alarm.

Only upon realizing something was wrong with those arrays and the White Jade Palace did his body alert him, urging He Song to leave swiftly.

Based on He Song’s years of experience, encountering such a scene very likely indicated the presence of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Although He Song had never seen a Nascent Soul cultivator before,

He didn’t really feel there was anything wrong with these things.

But subconsciously, when he truly noticed these abnormal situations and when the traces around him became more and more apparent,

his body would naturally send out a warning.

This was a warning brought to him by his body and the caution he had accrued over the years.

And He Song,

acting without any hesitation upon receiving this warning, turned and left without a second glance.

He Song trusted his intuition, and he also believed that his body would not deceive him.

Beyond that, the caution in his heart was the reason for his immediate departure.

Upon reflection now,

having understood the urgent orders from the Sect Leader Master of the Wind Snow Palace,

and after speculating on the reasons behind the issuance of these urgent orders,

and then recalling everything he had experienced at the beginning,

certain speculations naturally formed in He Song’s mind.

Maybe,

within the Vast Wave Secret Realm, there really was an Ancestor Yuanying in seclusive cultivation.

And he himself had also conducted seclusive cultivation for quite some time just outside the secluded cultivation place of that Ancestor Yuanying.

However, he just didn’t know

how long that Ancestor Yuanying, who was cultivating within the Array Skills of the Vast Wave Secret Realm, had been in seclusion.

And whether his own presence had been detected by that Ancestor Yuanying.

Whether Yu’er, who randomly preyed within the Vast Wave Secret Realm, had been observed by that Ancestor Yuanying.

And whether that Ancestor Yuanying had realized his initial attempt to probe the nine Arrays.

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

Eventually, He Song’s emotions stabilized.

No matter whether the Ancestor Yuanying had noticed him, Yu’er’s presence, or his previous intention to investigate the nine Arrays,

as long as the other party had not made a move against him, He Song simply assumed they were unaware.

After all, when He Song had previously left the Vast Wave Secret Realm, he had never encountered any obstruction.

Even when he was establishing the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion around the periphery of the Vast Wave Secret Realm, that Nascent Soul cultivator in seclusion within did not intervene to stop him.

Moreover, even with Yu’er’s rampant predation within the Vast Wave Secret Realm, there had never been any anomalies.

Under such circumstances, He Song naturally could assume the other party was unaware of the matter.

Or rather, they were aware of these issues but had chosen not to intervene.

In any case, He Song was now far beyond danger, residing within the Golden Snake Sect’s mansion in Luo Feng Province, at a great distance from the Vast Wave Secret Realm.

Even if the other party had a change of heart, it would likely be too late to affect the current He Song.

The He Song of today,

even if an Ancestor Yuanying personally sought him, would be extremely hard to locate in the vast Cultivation World.

Moreover, all this was still just speculation in He Song’s mind.

Whether there even was an Ancestor Yuanying from the Wind Snow Palace,

and whether that Ancestor Yuanying from the Wind Snow Palace had become aware of He Song’s existence,

was still uncertain.

However,

even as He Song harbored these thoughts and continuously made various assumptions about the secrets within the Vast Wave Secret Realm,

and as he continued to hide himself deeper and deeper within the Luo Feng Province mansion,

just a few short months later,

He Song received another shocking piece of news from the messages sent by An Ning.

“An Ning pays respects to Sir,”

“May Sir live a life of endless prosperity.”

“After several months, those Foundation Establishment elders who reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and went out to seek fortunes have finally returned to the Sect Gate one after another.”

“Those elders who were either in seclusive cultivation or distracted by various affairs have also rushed back within these few months.”

“According to the descriptions from the brothers in the Sect, there are now quite a few more Foundation Establishment elders within the gates of the Wind and Snow Palace.”

“Moreover, every one of those Foundation Establishment elders who obeyed the orders to return has been personally met by the Sect Leader Master and had secret meetings with him.”
