Upon hearing this, He Song and Meng Guan immediately shook their heads and laughed.

They originally thought that there was some reason why Wei Fan hadn’t given himself a dharma title in five years.

However, as soon as they asked, Wei Fan already spoke out the dharma title he had thought of long ago.

He had already thought of this dharma title.

Were they just waiting for the two of them to ask?

Nevertheless, considering that Wei Fan still cherished their friendship and even included them in his dharma title, He Song and Meng Guan exchanged glances and saw a touch of emotion in each other’s eyes.

Master Cheng Fu, this dharma title.

The implied meaning behind it represents the mutual assistance of their small circle.

“Alright, alright, let’s continue to call each other as we used to. As for the dharma title of Master Cheng Fu, as long as you know it’s me when someone mentions it in the future, that’s enough.”

Seeing that He Song and Meng Guan seemed to want to say something, Wei Fan quickly interrupted them and expressed his thoughts with a wave of his hand.

Their small circle had been established for too long.

Their titles remained unchanged since Meng Guan’s Foundation Establishment.

Now that it was Wei Fan’s turn, he naturally didn’t want to change their titles either.

Seeing Wei Fan like this,

With the issue of the dharma title resolved.

Meng Guan was about to be stationed in Mountain Immortal City.

At this moment, He Song and Wei Fan, who had come to see him off, naturally did not leave but stayed in Meng Guan’s cave mansion, making their last farewells.

After today,

Meng Guan’s going to Mountain Immortal City, and it might take many years before they see each other again.

Wei Fan might also leave the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion in five years and go to Mountain Immortal City to join the war between the Thick Earth Sect and the Seven Star Sect.

As a Foundation Establishment Master, This is unavoidable.

The three of them understood this very well.

As members of the Thick Earth Sect enjoying the abundant resources provided by the sect, they naturally had to fight for it.

Qi Refining disciples received spirit stones and other cultivation resources every year, with an annual salary of over a thousand spirit stones. Foundation Establishment Elders had an annual salary of 3,000 spirit stones.

With so many resources scattered around, if there are no returns, even the Thick Earth Sect with its large foundation and business would not be kind.

In ordinary times, it didn’t matter if they slacked off a bit.

However, when there is war, the Foundation Establishment Masters cultivated by the sect naturally have to contribute their efforts.

Even those who join the Thick Earth Sect after Foundation Establishment have to contribute their efforts.

He Song and Meng Guan reluctantly said goodbye.

But a hint of retreat had already formed in their minds.

As an everlasting being,

He Song only needed to cultivate slowly, and his own strength would naturally improve.

For other cultivators, a sect war might lead to death, but it could also be a great fortune.

Perhaps, it is this opportunity that allows a cultivator who was originally stuck in the early stage of Foundation Establishment to suddenly soar to the late stage.

Perhaps, it is this opportunity that allows a cultivator who was originally stuck in the Qi-refining late stage to suddenly break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Perhaps, it is this opportunity that allows a cultivator who has been struggling to break through to the Qi-refining late stage to have the chance to break through and step into the Foundation Establishment stage.

With this opportunity, they may be able to achieve Foundation Establishment and become a respected Foundation Establishment Master.

Just like Meng Guan before.

Wasn’t it because of a war between the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team and Evil Cultivators that he gained a huge opportunity and gained the chance to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm?

He even seized this opportunity later and successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment, changing his destiny and the people around him.

He Song and Wei Fan also benefited from this. For other cultivators,

A sect war is both a crisis and an opportunity.

If they can seize the opportunity in this crisis, they may be able to soar to the skies. However,

For He Song, an everlasting being,

In an event like a sect war that is both a crisis and an opportunity, he only sees the crisis.

After his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, he would only be at the bottom of the hierarchy in ten years.

In fights, he is afraid that he would not be able to win against anyone.

Moreover, the Seven Star Sect has Golden Core Masters in its ranks.

If they take a disliking to him and send a sword in his direction, wouldn’t he just die and be extinguished on the spot?

Opportunity?

What opportunity?

As an everlasting being who can simply get stronger by slowly cultivating, what opportunities do I need?

“All living beings fight for their lives for opportunities.”

“That’s because their lives are short and they die if they don’t struggle!”

“But I’m different.”

“If I struggle, that’s when I truly die.”

“As long as I can cultivate slowly and live, one day I will become an immortal.”

With such an idea suddenly flashing through his mind, He Song became even more determined to avoid this sect war.

As an everlasting being, he doesn’t need to be so desperate.

Regarding the sect war, which contains both crisis and opportunity for other cultivators, it is like a death talisman for him.

Instead of learning from ordinary cultivators to fight with all their might,

It would be better to save his useful life and wait until his cultivation level is higher before making up for the Thick Earth Sect.

At this thought.

He Song looked at the main peak where the Thick Earth Sect was located, and had no intention of participating in the upcoming sect battle.

However, he soon began to think about how he could avoid this sect battle.

Show off his array tao talent to attract attention and avoid the battle?

As soon as the idea came to his mind, He Song immediately rejected it.

If he wanted to reveal his talent, he would have done so long ago.

After revealing it, he might still become an inner disciple of the Thick Earth Sect, and his treatment might even be better than now.

Unfortunately.

For the sake of his safety, He Song could not possibly expose his talent.

Besides, revealing it might also lead to assassination attempts from the Seven Star Sect.

Wouldn’t that be more unjust?

With this in mind, He Song pondered, but he couldn’t figure out how he could break through to Foundation Establishment and avoid the battle.

Currently, He Song was an outer disciple of the Thick Earth Sect.

As an outer disciple, he naturally enjoyed the resources of the sect.

Once he broke through to the Foundation Establishment as an outer disciple, he would immediately become an elder in the Thick Earth Sect and join Master Fa Xuan’s side as a Foundation Establishment elder.

After ten years.

He would be sent to Mountain Immortal City to guard it, just like Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

By then…

As He Song was deep in thought, Meng Guan’s voice suddenly rang in his ear.

“Mr. He, I’ll be leaving now. If you need anything, feel free to contact me through Sound Transmission Amulet.”

As his voice fell, He Song looked up and saw Meng Guan’s figure shooting out

like an arrow, heading out.”

Perhaps because the trip had to be kept secret, he didn’t use his Foundation Establishment Realm tunneling skill, but chose to travel on foot to Mountain Immortal City instead.

Watching Meng Guan’s figure quickly become a small dot.

He Song opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then decided to remain silent.

Meng Guan left.

After watching Meng Guan’s figure leave the mountain gate of the Thick Earth Sect,

He Song greeted Wei Fan, who was also watching Meng Guan leave, then returned to his own courtyard.

Outer disciple residence.

In He Song’s courtyard.

He was sitting at the table once again, with a freshly brewed pot of tea in front of him.

Tea fragrances filled the air.

But at this moment, He Song had no interest in tasting the tea.

All he could think about was how he could avoid the sect battle after breaking through to Foundation Establishment Realm.

Although he was now a disciple of the Thick Earth Sect, He Song’s priority was always his safety.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Thick Earth Sect had two Golden Elixir Masters, ensuring that he was safe within the sect, he might have already left the Thick Earth Sect and gone to another sect’s territory.

Sect battles weren’t a trivial matter.

Those with insufficient strength could likely die.

As someone about to reach Foundation Establishment, he didn’t want to participate in the war between the Thick Earth Sect and the Seven Star Sect.

Therefore, finding a way to avoid the sect battle after Foundation Establishment had become his main concern.

“Forget it, forget it. I can always study the Smoke Array more quickly, then leave the sect to break through Foundation Establishment.”

“Breaking through Foundation Establishment outside the sect should prevent me from being targeted.”

“It’s just, if I do that, I won’t be able to acquire the cultivation skills and skills for the Foundation Establishment.”

After much thought, He Song could only come up with this method that wasn’t really a solution.

It’s certain that, if he reached Foundation Establishment within the sect, he would be targeted.

Breaking through to Foundation Establishment would create a whirlpool of spirit Qi, which would alert others nearby.

But.

If he didn’t break through within the sect and did it outside, although he had the protection of the Small Spirit-Gathering Array and the Smoke Array, he would have trouble obtaining the Foundation Establishment techniques and skills.

In that case, he would only have the Foundation Establishment Realm but not the means, and his strength might not be fully utilized.

In this situation, it was also hard for He Song to obtain these things.

So, this method could only be called a non-solution.

If he couldn’t think of any better solutions later, He Song might have to resort to this.

As for now.

There’s still time. He Song decided to put this matter aside for the time being and think about the solution in the future.

He believed that with several more years to think, he could find a feasible solution.

However.

Just as He Song was preparing to ponder on the matter later, there was a sudden loud ‘dong’.

A bell rang in his ears.

As the loud bell sounded,

He Song looked up and saw the other outer disciples living in the nearby courtyards all standing on high ground.

Seeing this, He Song was surprised, but he also followed suit and stood at the highest point in his courtyard.

Far away.

With the sound of the bell, a tunneling light also flew in from a distance and stopped in midair not far from the outer disciple residential area..
