Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 590: Chapter 497 Temporary Cave Mansion

As long as he stayed within the sphere of influence of the Golden Snake Sect, his safety would be guaranteed.

With the presence of two Nascent Soul cultivators, even the God Locking Sect, despite being a demonic sect, would probably not dare to have any designs on the Golden Snake Sect.

As for the other forces around the Golden Snake Sect.

Although He Song did not have a detailed understanding of them, he imagined that there should be little difference between them and the Nascent Soul great sects like the Sun Faction and the Purple Cloud Sect.

That is to say, the Golden Snake Sect’s strength of having two Nascent Soul cultivators actually made it quite powerful among the neighboring Nascent Soul great sects, and there was no need to worry about being invaded by other sects.

Under such circumstances, He Song naturally chose the Golden Snake Sect as his first choice for refuge.

Moreover, He Song was also quite familiar with the Golden Snake Sect.

As soon as he had broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm and stabilized his strength, he had explored almost the entire Golden Snake Sect.

Although the places he had been to were mostly hidden, he did have an understanding of the Golden Snake Sect.

A place that was both safe and familiar was certainly valuable for He Song, who was now seeking refuge.

For this reason, He Song chose this place as a sanctuary in his heart, due to the safety and familiarity of the Golden Snake Sect.

Thus.

Half a month later.

He Song finally arrived within the sphere of influence of the Golden Snake Sect.

The region that bordered the Golden Snake Sect and the Sun Faction was called Purple River State.

He Song had visited Purple River State before.

At that time, in order to buy a detailed map of the Golden Snake Sect, he had entered Purple River State and obtained what he wanted in the state.

Afterward, he began his search for Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

Now, when He Song returned to Purple River State and saw the Purple River flowing eastward in the state, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.

He had not expected that when he set foot on Purple River State’s land once again, his situation would be completely different from before.

Back when He Song first came here, he had just broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm and was full of energy.

His purpose for coming here was to bring the Golden Congealing Elixir Pill to his two good friends, helping them break through to the Golden Elixir Realm.

One could say that he was like a triumphant horse galloping with vigor, seeing all the flowers of Chang’an in a single day.

However, He Song now was still in the Golden Elixir Early Stage, with the mana inside his Golden Core having grown considerably, but still not breaking through to the Golden Core Middle Stage.

This time, he came here to escape disaster, and had a rather disheveled appearance.

His current demeanor was a stark contrast from his previous energetic and spirited state.

Comparing the two, the current He Song was far less free and unrestrained than before.

But, he did not care too much about this.

Some things are beyond human control.

Even with He Song’s Golden Elixir Realm cultivation, he couldn’t prevent the war between the two Nascent Soul great sects.

Therefore, he had no choice but to temporarily leave the Sun Faction and take refuge in the relatively safe Golden Snake Sect.

After entering the sphere of influence of the Golden Snake Sect, He Song quickly avoided crowded places and started to move towards a remote spot he had already chosen, which could be used to establish a hidden dwelling.

Purple River State was named after the Purple River within its territory.

The Purple River stretched for tens of thousands of miles, flowing eastward from Purple River State, with no one knowing where it ultimately merged.

Naturally, there were also vast swathes of hidden places along the Purple River.

Some of these places were extremely treacherous, making ordinary people unwilling to approach and only cultivators able to cross through the void.

Some places were rarely visited, with only birds flying around and beasts appearing from time to time.

He Song had chosen one such place early on within a steep and mountainous, rarely traveled forest along the Purple River.

This place was rarely visited, even by cultivators, making it an extremely remote area.

However, for He Song, such a place had long been in his sights.

Previously.

When searching for Meng Guan and Wei Fan, He Song had passed by this place and still remembered the beautiful scenery and the rarely traveled paths.

Back then, He Song had even thought about establishing a dwelling there.

Unfortunately, at that time, He Song was focused on finding Meng Guan and Wei Fan, so he didn’t have the leisure to establish a dwelling.

As a result, the matter was put on hold.

Until now.

When He Song returned to this place once again and saw its familiar scenery in Purple River State.

His idea of establishing a dwelling there became deeply rooted in his mind.

“This place can serve as a backup dwelling.”

“In addition, I need to establish another hidden dwelling in a different location as a backup plan.”

“In this way, whether in the Purple Cloud Sect or the Golden Snake Sect, I will have two hidden dwellings as backup.”

“I don’t need to worry about the two hidden dwellings in the Purple Cloud Sect for now.”

“As for the hidden dwellings in the Golden Snake Sect, apart from the dwelling I’ll personally occupy during this time of escaping disaster, another hidden dwelling will also need to take on the responsibility of a backup plan.”

“In case of any accidents, whether leaving the Golden Snake Sect or my current dwelling, I need a thorough plan.”

“I must not end up in a situation where there’s chaos in the Golden Snake Sect and I have no other escape route.”

When he arrived at the chosen location along the Purple River where he could establish a hidden dwelling, He Song looked down and various thoughts emerged in his mind.
