Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation - Chapter 789

Chapter 789: Chapter 596 Siege_2

After all, Master White Crane was injured and could only be temporarily replaced by Flying Crane Master.

However, a cultivator who had reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, while unlikely to be slain when facing someone at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, would still significantly exhaust his resources when obliged to block the opponent’s attacks.

Once such a situation occurred,

the cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection would naturally launch a fierce attack.

This, in turn, would make things even harder for Flying Crane Master.

Under these circumstances, Master White Crane’s side would naturally become increasingly frustrated as the battle progressed.

In such a case,

it wasn’t until Master White Crane had finally suppressed his injuries and regained his fighting strength that the situation finally changed.

In the subsequent time,

Master White Crane and Flying Crane Master cooperated tacitly, plus their two spirit beasts constantly launched sneak attacks, which really annoyed the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator.

Their earlier claim that together with their spirit beasts they could fight against Foundation Establishment Great Perfection was not a joke.

Even when facing a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, the two could engage in an intense battle.

And as the stalemate continued,

He Song quietly used Earth Tunneling to arrive underneath the treasure site during this time.

Deep beneath the ground of the treasure site,

He Song, sensing the struggle above between the five Foundation Establishment combatants, quickly figured out the current situation.

At present,

Master White Crane and three other Foundation Establishment cultivators were besieging the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator.

But since both sides were almost equally matched, the battle, though fierce, had so far failed to inflict any damage on either.

In such a scenario, the battle between the two sides would likely last a long time, only ending once they had exhausted all their consumable resources and a victor emerged.

Moreover, in a fight where the combatants are so evenly matched and victory remains elusive, no one would be foolish enough to fight to the bitter end.

In fights between cultivators like these, they would typically hold back.

That is to say, when both sides are nearly out of consumables but still have a certain amount left,

they will both start thinking of retreat.

In such a case, even if one party refuses to let go, having these resources ensures their safety as they enter Immortal City or Immortal State Mansion.

Fighting is forbidden both in Immortal City and Immortal State Mansion.

Once you enter, your life is essentially spared.

If someone dares to attack after entering Immortal City or Immortal State Mansion,

the very thought is likely laughable even in their dreams.

The Master Guardians in Immortal City and the Master Guardians in Immortal State are no mere decorations.

If someone really does such a thing, they will likely face the thunderous strike of these guardians.

Such a situation is, in all likelihood, rarely found throughout the entire Cultivation World.

In He Song’s view, the battle taking place around the treasure site belongs to such a scenario.

The moment one side runs low on consumables, they will naturally both withdraw and wait to fight another day.

But when that time comes,

it will undoubtedly be very uncomfortable for Master White Crane’s side.

After all, everything they have done has already been seen by their opponents.

Once both sides withdraw, the two are likely to be instantly branded with shameful names.

Thus, from this point on, it’s likely that their reputation in this region will be utterly ruined.

Moreover, the location of the treasure site would be known to the other party.

If the news spreads, then they would not only have lost their lady but also their troops, suffering a huge loss.

Of course,

the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator who attacked them in a rage might not feel much better.

But that was beyond He Song’s knowledge.

Exactly how much hatred that person harbored towards the two white cranes was completely unknown to He Song.

After understanding the battle situation above the treasure site, He Song quickly put it out of his mind.

The environmental destruction caused by battles between Foundation Establishment True Persons is actually not that great.

Unlike Golden Elixir Masters, who cause massive destruction capable of leveling mountains when they fight.

The battles between Foundation Establishment True Persons would certainly not affect He Song, who was deep underground.

Since that was the case, He Song naturally did not need to concern himself with them.

Even if they fought with real fire later on, refusing to pull back, their existence could not shake He Song in the slightest.

Thus, He Song merely gave it some brief attention before he set his focus on what was in front of him.

At this very moment.

In front of He Song.

A barrier, barely perceptible, was quietly standing between the rocks and the soil.

If Master White Crane were here, he would definitely realize immediately that this barely perceptible barrier was the very boundary of the Evil Wind they had discovered in their explorations.

Once one crossed this boundary, a bone-scraping evil wind would sweep through, instantly scattering living beings.

Whether they were mortals, Qi-refining cultivators, or Foundation Establishment True Persons, or Foundation Establishment demonic beasts, none could escape the scouring of this evil wind.

As the evil wind passed, all were turned to dust, scattering with the wind.

However, this evil wind seemed to have no interest in the rocks and soil, which is why it could stand so quietly between them.

To this, He Song was not at all surprised.

It had been several years since Master White Crane and Flying Crane Master discovered this place.

In all this time, the two of them had tried every method imaginable.

Only in the end did they conceive of the crude method of using flesh and blood to weaken the wind.

As for the depths beneath the earth, they had naturally tried that too.

This was also why He Song stopped in his tracks in front of this barely perceptible barrier.

To He Song, this barrier was the key to his understanding of the entire Evil Wind Array.

The existence of this barrier.

Was very similar to the outermost light screen formed by other arrays once they were laid out.

And these other arrays, once laid out, all came with various functions.

The Attack and Defense Array possessed the power of attack and defense.

The Defensive Great Array had a defensive effect.

The Concealment Array had the ability to conceal.

And now, the Evil Wind Array before He Song’s eyes.

Its outermost layer was almost non-existent as if it were not there at all; even if it were attacked, it would not show any fluctuation.

This nearly imperceptible barrier was almost entirely immune to external attacks.

And within it, it could form that incomparably terrifying bone-scraping evil wind.

Anyone daring to enter it would be immediately harmed by the evil wind, even ground away completely.

Such an unpredictable array naturally made He Song envious.

This was also why he had come here, especially after realizing there was not much danger.

This array, so different from other Golden Elixir Arrays, could have a massive impact on He Song’s comprehension of array tao.

Once He Song fully understood this Evil Wind Array.

He would then gain another method of array setting.

Furthermore, it could lead to deeper insights, advancing his comprehension of array tao to a new level.

Thus, He Song might benefit immensely in the future.

After all, this was an array quite unlike ordinary arrays.

The stone of other mountains can sharpen one’s own jade.

Such an array could naturally bring great inspiration to He Song.

Perhaps, even creating his own unique array was within the realm of possibility.

These thoughts flashing through his mind, He Song sat cross-legged in the depths of the earth, and then began his contemplation of the barrier before him.

For He Song.

Understanding an array was not actually very difficult.

Back in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had managed to contemplate for more than a decade outside the cave mansion of Master Yin Yue, fully comprehending the Divine Thunder Array.

And then he had entered Master Yin Yue’s cave mansion, seizing the great fortune he had not even dared to dream of before.

So, today.

He Song’s cultivation had long reached the Golden Core Middle Stage.

In his much-changed state,

He certainly could not allow himself to back away from the barrier before him.

However, when He Song began to earnestly contemplate the barrier in front of him, he suddenly discovered a problem.
