Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation - Chapter 773

Chapter 773: Chapter 588 Return from the Treasure Hunt_2

But with the massive resource infusion, the disciples of Wind Snow Palace progressed in their cultivation much faster than others.

Under such circumstances, the strength of Wind Snow Palace naturally increased day by day.

Although for a long time, the strength of Wind Snow Palace was unlikely to catch up with the other Nascent Soul Upper Sects.

But as time went on, Wind Snow Palace naturally had the potential to grow into a true Nascent Soul Upper Sect.

The premise was.

Wind Snow Palace wouldn’t be prematurely extinguished before it had the chance to grow.

Although Wind Snow Palace had taken over the Four State Land of the God Locking Sect, it was also bordered by no less than three Demonic Nascent Soul Upper Sects.

In such a situation, surviving was incredibly difficult.

In a land threatened by war from all sides, one needed immense strength to maintain control.

A moment’s carelessness could lead to being devoured whole.

When survival itself was an issue, other matters naturally had to be put aside.

Once the issue of survival was resolved, then it would be possible to attend to other matters.

That was what He Song thought.

And that was what Elder Phantom Snow did.

After Elder Phantom Snow arranged for all Wind Snow Palace’s disciples to be stationed at Cloud-Foot Prefecture and had the only Golden Elixir Elder to stay behind as guard,

he himself quickly disappeared from the eyes of others.

Where did Elder Phantom Snow go?

What was he doing?

No one knew the answer to those questions.

Even He Song had not heard any news from An Ning’s lips.

An Ning’s cultivation was still too low.

Even though Mid-stage Foundation Establishment was no longer considered weak, it was still slightly lacking.

However, according to He Song’s speculation, Elder Phantom Snow’s departure was likely for the purpose of solving Wind Snow Palace’s survival crisis.

Perhaps Elder Phantom Snow had gone to the Sect Gate of the Sun Faction to discuss an alliance with Yi Yangzi,

Or he might have gone to the Sect Gate of the Purple Cloud Sect to negotiate an alliance with You Yunzi.

Or possibly, he ventured to the three great Demon Sects in the North, seeking a non-interference agreement with them.

In short, Elder Phantom Snow’s departure was surely not for a leisurely stroll.

He was on a mission for the survival of Wind Snow Palace.

But what remained unknown was whether he could secure external support to stabilize Wind Snow Palace.

In He Song’s opinion,

If Elder Phantom Snow could convince Yi Yangzi and You Yunzi, persuading these two Yuanying Ancestors to agree to rush to their aid when Wind Snow Palace was attacked,

the Wind Snow Palace may indeed be able to secure its footing in the present Four State Land.

After all, Wind Snow Palace was now neighboring three Yuanying Demon Sects.

This was equivalent to facing three Nascent Soul cultivators at once.

And if Yi Yangzi and You Yunzi could be persuaded to provide support,

it would then be a three-on-three situation.

As long as no force disrupted the balance, such a three-on-three situation, once established, would actually be impossible to break into conflict.

Even if a fight did break out, Wind Snow Palace, along with Sun Faction and Purple Cloud Sect, would not be at a disadvantage.

However, the key issue was.

Whether Purple Cloud Sect and Sun Faction would agree to Elder Phantom Snow’s request to provide support when Wind Snow Palace was under attack.

Sun Faction had a very close relationship with Wind Snow Palace.

He Song had no doubt as to whether Elder Phantom Snow could persuade Yi Yangzi,

But.

He was somewhat doubtful as to whether You Yunzi of Purple Cloud Sect could be persuaded by Elder Phantom Snow.

After all, Wind Snow Palace had its roots in Purple Cloud Sect.

Wind Snow Palace, which had grown within the area of influence of Purple Cloud Sect, had thoroughly slapped the face of Purple Cloud Sect.

Although Wind Snow Palace didn’t have any further friction with Purple Cloud Sect and quickly left its original area of influence for that of the Sun Faction,

Even so, in the eyes of outsiders, Purple Cloud Sect was severely disgraced by Wind Snow Palace.

A Nascent Soul Upper Sect that had emerged from within the territory of Purple Cloud Sect,

If it were truly to continue thriving,

It was feared that Purple Cloud Sect would become the talk of others from now on.

The mention of Wind Snow Palace by others would be accompanied by claims that it was a Nascent Soul Upper Sect that had emerged from the blockade of Purple Cloud Sect.

As time goes on, the reputation of the Purple Cloud Sect might undergo certain changes.

In such a situation, how could the Purple Cloud Sect possibly show any goodwill towards the Wind Snow Palace?

Of course, all of these are merely He Song’s speculations.

The specifics would depend on what benefits Elder Phantom Snow could actually offer.

In the Cultivation World

As long as the benefits are substantial,

Some matters still have room for negotiation.

After all, although the Wind Snow Palace is nominally a Nascent Soul Upper Sect, when it comes to the strength of its disciples and the number of Gold Core Cultivators within it, it is extremely weak.

Without a certain level of improvement in the strength of its disciples and the number of Gold Core Cultivators, the Wind Snow Palace can’t even firmly hold onto the Four State Land it occupies.

In view of this, it wouldn’t be surprising to He Song if Phantom Snow True Monarch decided to lease out these areas in exchange for the support of the Purple Cloud Sect and the Sun Faction.

However, it still depends on the resolution of Elder Phantom Snow.

If she lacks the courage, I’m afraid this strategy of forming alliances and coalitions might also prove difficult to establish.

As the turmoil from the outside world gradually subsided,

He Song’s life within the Luo Feng Province Mansion has become more and more comfortable.

Now,

Knowing that the crisis in the Vast Wave Secret Realm was actually orchestrated by Elder Phantom Snow, and that his various actions while fleeing previously had little impact,

He Song within the Luo Feng Province Mansion, no longer has the same unease in his heart as before.

But He Song has not chosen to leave just because of that.

Since he had perfectly concealed himself previously due to concerns about the crisis in the Vast Wave Secret Realm,

Why should He Song rashly break this disguise and make his existence more noticeable?

Perfectly concealing himself within a mansion in the Immortal State,

Provides He Song with many benefits.

In such an environment where he can cultivate undisturbed yet remain perfectly hidden, He Song’s days are filled with contentment.

Although He Song still worries about impending crises,

Although He Song still worries about being drawn into a great war,

Although He Song still worries about being targeted by others,

After all, residing within the territory of the Golden Snake Sect, the likelihood of encountering these troubles is still lower than in other places.

The Golden Snake Sect boasts the strength of two Nascent Souls.

Living within the area of influence of the Golden Snake Sect, the odds of encountering such incidents are quite slim.

This kind of life is somewhat appealing to He Song.

Moreover, quietly living as a loose cultivator in Luo Feng Province helps He Song stay out of conflicts.

Given the special geographical location of Luo Feng Province,

The majority of those who can settle here favor stability over risk.

Those who wish for more aggressive actions simply would not choose this place.

To the west of Luo Feng Province lies the mansion of the Netherworld Blade Sect in another Immortal State.

That is where those who seek thrills should go.

Compared to that, Luo Feng Province is clearly more conservative.

This naturally leads to the cultivators in Luo Feng Province being reluctant to stir up trouble.

And so, He Song, already cautious by nature, finds it even more comfortable to remain within Luo Feng Province Mansion.

He doesn’t have to worry about unexpectedly encountering trouble some day.

Consequently, He Song naturally decided to continue staying in Luo Feng Province Mansion instead of leaving.

However,

Just as He Song was comfortably living his quiet life in Luo Feng Province Mansion,

One day, news arrived that caused a slight ripple to appear on He Song’s normally placid face.

Not long ago,

The one who invited He Song to go treasure hunting in a land mentioned by a friend, Flying Crane Master,

Had now returned to Luo Feng Province Mansion.

According to the news He Song heard,

Flying Crane Master was as elegant as ever, and the crane behind him was just the same.

Together, just like returning from a leisurely trip, they flew back into Luo Feng Province Mansion from afar.

Accompanying him was Flying Crane Master’s friend.

Only, the Foundation Establishment True Person who had left with them to search for treasure was nowhere to be seen.
