Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation - Chapter 661

Chapter 661: Chapter 532 Five Years Later_2

“`

The one who came from Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion naturally didn’t need to say much about his insight into people’s hearts.

Whether it was a sixth-tier Qi Refining small cultivator striving to climb higher.

Or a Foundation Establishment True Person high above.

Or even a Golden Elixir Master with an indifferent demeanor.

He Song had seen many of them and had pondered a lot about the thoughts in these people’s hearts.

He naturally had his understanding of the human heart and human nature.

From the messages sent by True Monarch Fei Hu, He Song could deduce his thoughts to some extent.

Therefore.

After clearly understanding True Monarch Fei Hu’s concerns and his thoughts.

He Song, who had already decided to stay away from this matter and had even left Purple River State, couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.

True Monarch Fei Hu’s worries were completely unnecessary.

To avoid the potential threats this matter might pose to him, he had directly left Purple River State and entered the territory of Purple Cloud Sect in Hu State.

How could he possibly harbor any covetous thoughts towards that Twin-winged White Tiger?

However, understanding True Monarch Fei Hu’s reason for sending a probing message, He Song eventually came to terms with it.

Success comes with secrecy.

If you want to do something well, it naturally requires secrecy in the early stages.

Otherwise, if the matter is disclosed too soon to others, the final result is bound to be unfavorable.

True Monarch Fei Hu had previously wanted him to join the matter, and thus had fully revealed it to him.

Despite He Song not coveting the Twin-winged White Tiger.

True Monarch Fei Hu did not know that.

Therefore, True Monarch Fei Hu was sending messages to probe at this time.

This was naturally the purpose of True Monarch Fei Hu’s message.

After thinking it over, He Song quickly replied to True Monarch Fei Hu.

“Not to hide from you, friend.”

“I have already left Purple River State and crossed the Sun Faction to enter the area of influence of the Purple Cloud Sect.”

“Currently, I am resting within the Purple Cloud Sect; I’m afraid I won’t be able to rush back to Purple River State to assist friend in escorting that young Zhao away.”

“Although the Purple Cloud Sect isn’t too far from the Golden Snake Sect, there’s still the Nascent Soul Upper Sect, the Sun Faction, in between.”

“As far as I know, the Sun Faction is currently in a grand battle with the God Locking Sect.”

“I risked passing through earlier; if I were to return, it’s possible that danger may befall me.”

“I hope friend will send someone else.”

“When I pass through Purple River State again in the future, I will naturally seek you out for a hearty discussion.”

“I hope friend won’t take offense.”

In the reply, He Song did not reveal his exact location.

Instead, he simply stated that he had already left Purple River State and crossed over the Sun Faction to enter the territory of the Purple Cloud Sect.

Currently, the distance between the two of them included a Nascent Soul Upper Sect, which was indeed far enough.

According to He Song’s thoughts.

Once True Monarch Fei Hu knew of his current location, he would no longer suspect that he might be hiding in the dark, waiting to make a move.

Although he might still be cautious, at least on the surface, True Monarch Fei Hu would be unlikely to send another probing message.

And things.

Turned out just as He Song had expected.

After He Song replied, True Monarch Fei Hu responded with a message that only contained a few lamentations and stated that he would send someone to escort the young Zhao away from Yao Lake Immortal Market.

Besides that, he didn’t say much, only that He Song should find him in Purple River State in the future.

To this, He Song readily agreed and then resumed his seclusive cultivation.

Thus.

As time slowly passed.

Some of the events that were supposed to happen gradually did begin to occur with the passage of time.

When True Monarch Fei Hu, searching for the Twin-winged White Tiger in Purple River State with the other three Gold Core Cultivators, received He Song’s reply.

The nervousness he originally felt eased slightly at that moment.

Although he was aware that the content of He Song’s letter was not entirely trustworthy.

Since He Song had responded this way.

It still allowed his originally anxious heart to gradually settle down.

Just as He Song had predicted.

“`

True Monarch Fei Hu, upon receiving He Song’s reply, though not fully convinced, did believe some of it, and his vigilance, which had been at its peak, somewhat eased.

He still maintained his guard, but it was no longer the same exhaustive effort as before.

Instead, he had relaxed somewhat.

It was after receiving He Song’s response

that True Monarch Fei Hu resolved to take action against the Twin-winged White Tiger.

—————–

Time slipped by.

Years flew like arrows.

In the blink of an eye, a full five years had stealthily passed.

Five years quietly slipped away.

He Song had been immersed in cultivation all along, and the mana within his Golden Elixir grew fuller with the passage of time.

Streams of spirit Qi flowed incessantly from the outside world into He Song’s body, where it was transformed into mana and merged into the Golden Elixir within his Elixir Field.

As the mana in his Golden Elixir gradually became more abundant, He Song increasingly felt that the mana within his Golden Elixir was about to reach a critical point.

One day.

He Song was in the Quiet Room, continuously absorbing surrounding spirit Qi, transforming it into mana to incorporate into his Golden Elixir.

Yet, at that moment, the abundant stream of spirit Qi, which had been consistently absorbed by He Song, dissipated without warning.

As spirit Qi overflowed around He Song, his robe quickly billowed out.

Fortunately, the robe worn by He Song was not made of mortal things, otherwise, just this one time, it might have turned into shreds of cloth flying everywhere.

However, He Song paid no mind to these trivialities.

When the spirit Qi scattered,

He Song’s eyes snapped open at that moment.

“Bottleneck.”

“The bottleneck from the Golden Elixir Early Stage to the Middle Stage.”

“After five years, have I finally reached it?”

“Unable to assimilate more spirit Qi into my own mana, if I can’t break through this bottleneck, my strength will advance no further.”

“No wonder, no wonder Master Xing Yan, who has been trapped at the Golden Core Middle Stage for so many years, has undergone such a drastic change in mentality.”

“If one can feel no progress at every moment, perhaps even those with the strongest minds would be driven mad by such sensations, wouldn’t they?”

“But I wonder, how long this bottleneck will hold me back.”

“In the past, when I encountered such a bottleneck, I broke through it much faster than ordinary cultivators.”

“I wonder if the same will happen now.”

“If it does,”

“perhaps I’ll be able to break through to the Golden Core Middle Stage soon.”

Memories of his previous bottleneck during the Qi Refining late stage flashed through his mind.

If he were an ordinary person, he might be trapped at such a bottleneck for many years.

But what about himself?

Back then, he only spent half a year before he successfully broke through the bottleneck, advancing his cultivation from the sixth-tier Qi Refining to the seventh-tier Qi Refining.

At that time, when he became aware that his cultivation had reached the seventh-tier Qi Refining, Wei Fan’s astonished gaze back then, He Song still remembered it vividly to this day.

But now, it was uncertain whether the same situation would happen again as he encountered the bottleneck once more.

If it did happen again,

he might only need a few more years to successfully cross this bottleneck.

Of course, if several years later, He Song was still constrained by the bottleneck, then he would have to rely on time to grind it down slowly.

Fortunately, as an everlasting being,

time was never something He Song was short of.

Suppressing the chaos of thoughts within his heart, He Song took a deep breath and then decisively began to assault the current bottleneck.

The bottleneck from the Golden Elixir Early Stage to the Middle Stage was not particularly difficult to overcome, judging from He Song’s previous experiences and insights.

Especially for He Song, it was even more so the case.

For him, who had already faced a bottleneck in the Qi Refining stage and had only spent half a year to break through it once,

bottlenecks were something he knew thoroughly.

He was also well aware of the difficulty of breaking through them.

Based on He Song’s past experiences,

he only needed to start attempting to break the bottleneck to estimate the time required to do so, based on how much it gave way.
