Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 710: Chapter 557: Peril of Life and Death_1

Now that he could ensure his own safety,

and that he wouldn’t be left behind in this place,

after some thought, He Song naturally came upon this option in his mind.

After all, it was only after He Song reached the Golden Core Middle Stage and his cultivation strength increased that he could plan in such a way.

If it had been earlier, when He Song’s cultivation was only at the Early Stage of Golden Elixir, he probably would have chosen differently.

After careful deliberation, He Song eventually overturned his previous thoughts.

He no longer contemplated the past encounters with True Monarch Youyun, instead he treated the importance of concealing his actions as paramount.

With this in mind, what He Song needed to do next naturally became apparent.

Inside the Divine Thunder Array.

He Song soon changed his appearance and physique, but after some hesitation, he did not conceal his cultivation level.

The Middle Stage of Golden Core might not be high,

but within the realm of Golden Elixir, it is not low either.

If an Early Golden Core Stage cultivator travels outside, he would still need to worry about being targeted by other Golden Elixir Masters, fearing that he is no match for them.

But once the cultivation reaches the Middle Stage of Golden Elixir, there is no longer such a concern.

A cultivator in the Middle Stage of Golden Core might still be at risk of being overwhelmed by the cultivation of those who have reached the Great Perfection,

yet if the opponent’s cultivation does not exceed the Later Stage of Golden Elixir, there is nothing to fear.

Of course, this is under the premise that the opponent does not gather several people to launch a coordinated attack.

If a multi-pronged siege arises, the fate of that Golden Elixir Master from the God Locking Sect in Green Moon State would likely be He Song’s fate as well.

However, in the Cultivation World, every cultivator has their own business to attend to.

If it hadn’t been for He Song personally visiting and clarifying the pros and cons, prompting the two Master Guardians and three other Golden Elixir Masters of the Biyue Prefecture to rush over, they probably would not have formed an encirclement.

A situation where several Golden Elixir Masters band together to besiege one person is rare in the Cultivation World.

At least in He Song’s view, such events are exceedingly rare.

While these possibilities cannot be ruled out, such low-probability events only require a bit more vigilance on the part of He Song.

After all, to form such a siege, it would require more than four Golden Core Families within a state mansion of Immortal State.

Only then can there be more than four Golden Core Cultivators within the state mansion who are not under Nascent Soul Force.

Moreover, those four Golden Elixir Masters must possess enough trust in each other.

Only with that can they unite and start a siege against other Golden Elixir Masters.

Besides that, the resident Master Guardian of the state mansion must turn a blind eye to this matter.

Only when all these conditions are met,

is there a slight possibility of creating a situation where several Golden Elixir Masters jointly besiege one person.

But each one of these conditions appears incredibly stringent.

Amassing all of them, and furthermore, executing the plan, is immensely difficult.

Of course, He Song needs only to be slightly cautious, avoiding entering similar state mansions, to ensure his safety.

Now, in front of He Song, this Hu Prefecture was somewhere he had previously visited.

None of the conditions applied within the Hu State mansion.

Similar to Green Moon State, there are only three Golden Core Families within the Hu Prefecture.

Under such circumstances, He Song has no need to worry too much about his own safety.

As long as he reveals his cultivation at the Middle Stage of Golden Elixir, not only will it bring him no threats,

it might even allow him to be treated as a distinguished guest within Hu State, just as it was when he previously was in Zichuan Prefecture.

As a myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind, He Song quickly made all the necessary preparations. His figure also swiftly left the Divine Thunder Array, heading toward the distant Hu Prefecture mansion.

Hu Prefecture.

Inside Jubaoge.

When He Song arrived here with the aura of a Middle Stage Golden Core cultivator,

the one who came to greet He Song was not the True Monarch Youyun he had seen last time.

It was a middle-aged man with a kindly face and concealed spiritual pressure.

True Monarch Youyun, who had greeted He Song on his last visit, was now following behind the middle-aged man, closely and submissively, like a lackey.

Seeing this scene, He Song was surprised in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.

At that moment, He Song suddenly recalled information previously obtained from An Ning.

Last time, after purchasing the Fu Hua Record and returning to Zichuan,

He had heard from An Ning that True Monarch Youyun was not the Pavilion Master of the Main Pavilion in Hu Prefecture, and that there was someone else in that position.

This person was reportedly Youyun’s Master, a Golden Elixir Master who had reached the Later Stage of Golden Elixir.

Now it seemed that what An Ning had said was true.

The middle-aged man who personally came forward to greet him must be True Monarch Youyun’s Master, that Later Stage Golden Elixir Master, right?

With a seemingly unintentional glance over the man’s body, He Song’s eyes flickered with a hint of understanding.

Foundation Establishment or Golden Core Cultivators, when intentionally concealing their spiritual pressure, would not emit an aura.

This, He Song knew well as a Golden Elixir Master.

The Pavilion Master presently before him, likely in an effort not to overwhelm visitors with his intense spiritual pressure, had concealed it, not because he wanted to masquerade as a lesser being.

Jubaoge, after all, is a place of business, where using formidable spiritual pressure to intimidate customers would be anything but hospitable.
