Chapter 265: Chapter 257 “Breaking Through Cultivation”

Translator: 549690339

Only by leaving the Thick Earth Sect.

Would one have a thread of chance to break through the Golden Core Path.

Outside the sect.

Danger and opportunities coexist.

One could either fight desperately to grasp a ray of hope.

Or be drowned in mediocrity, washed away by the rolling river of time.

It ultimately depends on one’s destiny.

However, the opportunities they sought were seemingly nowhere to be found.

For a moment.

The three people present were silent, their minds filled with various thoughts.

Nevertheless, after pondering over it, He Song was the first to speak.

“We cannot rush this matter. Both of you are currently only at the Mid-stage

Foundation Establishment. If you encounter someone at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage or even the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, you may have trouble resisting.”

“Why not stay in the Thick Earth Sect for now? You can return the favor owed to the sect, and also continuously improve your cultivation.”

“Once you reach the Late Foundation Establishment Stage or even the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, you can then set out to search for opportunities”

“By then, you will have a certain level of self-preservation ability, and you can also rely on the accumulation of these years to maximize your combat power.”

“In this way, you will have the power to resist if you encounter any obstacles outside.”

“What do you two think?”

Looking at his two friends beside him, He Song shared his thoughts.

The matter of leaving the sect indeed should not be rushed.

At present, the three of them were all at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

He Song himself had hidden his true cultivation level, only showing the Early Stage Foundation Establishment to the outside world.

However, Meng Guan and Wei Fan were unaware of this fact.

This level of cultivation was already considered high in the eyes of Qi Refining cultivators.

But when faced with Foundation Establishment cultivators, it did not amount to much.

Generally speaking, Foundation Establishment cultivators who venture outside at least have Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation.

Only some Loose Cultivation Base Builders might wander around outside during their Early or Mid-stage Foundation Establishment

As far as the cultivators of the Thick Earth Sect were concerned.

At the Early and Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, these cultivators would primarily focus on guarding the Immortal Pavilion and Immortal City.

How could they find spare time to roam around?

Only when their cultivation reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage would they be called back to the sect.

Inside the sect, there wasn’t much for them to do either.

By then, Foundation Establishment cultivators could start to leave the sect to pursue opportunities.

The sect could not possibly keep all Late Foundation Establishment or

Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivators within the sect.

There weren’t that many tasks within the sect that required these Late Foundation Establishment or Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivators to complete.

Therefore, Foundation Establishment cultivators venturing outside generally have Late Foundation Establishment or even Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation.

He Song’s words.

Were to dissuade the two from leaving the Thick Earth Sect so early.

After all, when their cultivation reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, they could be relocated back to the sect where they could go out and search for opportunities.

At that time, they could enjoy both the annual salary of the Thick Earth Sect and the opportunity to seek their fortune – wasn’t that the best of both worlds?

After listening to He Song’s words, Meng Guan nodded in agreement.

“Indeed, fellow Daoist, your thoughts align with mine. This is why after learning about this news, Wei and I chose not to leave the sect immediately.”

“Wei and I have discussed this and plan to wait until our cultivation reaches the Late Foundation Establishment Stage before leaving the sect to venture.” “Even if you hadn’t mentioned this, Wei and I would have proceeded this way.” “However, our thoughts happen to be in harmony.”

“As long as there is no imminent danger, continuing to help the Thick Earth

Sect guard the Immortal City would be a way to repay the sect’s kindness.” “Once we’ve repaid enough of this kindness, it will be the right time to leave.”

“Our previous worries stemmed only from not wanting to lose our lives here for nothing”

With that, Meng Guan turned his gaze to Wei Fan.

Wei Fan nodded at this moment, seemingly agreeing with Meng Guan’s words.

Seeing this, He Song had a moment of clarity.

Upon hearing about the sudden alliance of the North Four Demonic Sects, Meng Guan and Wei Fan grew worried and feared that they might lose their lives, which was why they came to seek He Song’s opinion.

As it happened, He Song had some knowledge of such conflicts and concluded that if a war broke out, this place would be guarded by a Golden Elixir Master.

Thus, knowing that their lives were no longer at stake, the two of them naturally relaxed.

Since they had already made preparations, they would naturally carry on with their original plans once their doubts were resolved.

With their concerns put to rest, the three quickly tossed their worries aside and began to enjoy their drinks.

The spirit tea He Song used to entertain them was valuable.

Not only did it have the effect of increasing Foundation Establishment cultivators’ mana, but it also tasted quite enticing.

As a result, Meng Guan and Wei Fan praised the tea without reservation.

However.

Although they were enjoying their drinks at this moment, they did not mention inviting He Song to leave the sect in search of opportunities.

He Song naturally understood his friends’ thoughts and did not force the conversation.

But he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

So it seems.

Meng Guan and Wei Fan clearly understood his cautious nature.

They knew that even though the Thick Earth Sect did not allow Loose Base Builders to participate in the competition for the Golden Congealing Elixir Pill.

He Song had already learned about this.

However, with He Song’s cautious nature.

Unless his cultivation reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, he would definitely not venture out in search of opportunities.

Moreover, even if his cultivation reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, He Song would probably only leave the Thick Earth Sect after making thorough preparations and search for opportunities elsewhere.

By the time He Song had made all his preparations, they would probably already have been adventuring outside for a long, long time.

How could they possibly go together?

Therefore.

Knowing that He Song was cautious by nature, they naturally didn’t have any intention of inviting him to leave the sect with them in search of opportunities. If they were to invite him, their timings probably wouldn’t match anyway.

It would be like saying it for nothing.

What’s the point?

After staying at He Song’s residence for a while,

Meng Guan and Wei Fan bid their farewells.

And He Song’s residence, once again became quiet.

After seeing off the two of them, He Song waved his hand, and the residence instantly returned to its original state.

Entering a living room,

He Song sighed.

A set of teaware appeared before him.

Wisps of tea fragrance filled the living room, and He Song’s thoughts began to drift away at this moment. Today’s events, still had some impact on him.

Because he had not expected that the Thick Earth Sect would have such strict rules for Loose Cultivation Base Building.

Golden Congealing Elixir Pill.

Golden Core Secret Method.

All were placed on a pedestal, only to be fought over by the elite of the sect.

Perhaps, when Master Yan Shan was young, he was the pride of the heavens who had won and gained these two treasures?

Unfortunately,

Master Fa Xuan stepped in and forcefully took over the position of Sect Leader of the Thick Earth Sect.

And thus, the subsequent prosperity of the Thick Earth Sect with two Golden Core masters emerged.

However, these matters had nothing to do with He Song.

Thinking of Wei Fan and Meng Guan’s expressions when they mentioned this matter, He Song couldn’t help but frown.

Although it was understandable, it was hard to accept if it happened to oneself. He originally thought that by joining the Thick Earth Sect, he would be one of them.

But who would have thought,

that gap between the identities of Loose Cultivation Base Builders and elite disciples of the sect would be so huge.

“It seems that it’s impossible to obtain these two treasures in the Thick Earth Sect.”

“However, it seems that the chances of acquiring these two treasures should be greater within the realms of Sun Faction’s territory than staying within the Thick Earth Sect?”

“Golden Core Forces are quite abundant within Sun Faction’s territories.”

“If one could find a declining Golden Core Force, perhaps the Golden Core Secret Method could be obtained.”

“As for the Golden Congealing Elixir Pill… this needs to be considered in the long run.”

“If I could obtain the recipe for the Golden Congealing Elixir Pill and find the spirit medicine for its refinement, even if the required spirit medicine is precious, it is not impossible.”

“Unfortunately, it is a problem as to where to obtain the recipe for the Golden Congealing Elixir Pill.”

Taking a sip of spirit tea, He Song’s thoughts grew heavier, his brows knitted together as he continued to ponder these matters.

How to step into the Golden Elixir Realm,

was something he had to consider once his cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

Although he had an endless lifespan and eternal youth,

if his cultivation stayed at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, his strength would be nothing more than a slightly larger ant in the eyes of some true powerhouses.

An ant whose cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Great

Perfection.

Not to mention an Ancestor Yuanying, even a random Golden Elixir Master could easily crush He Song to death.

Under such circumstances,

He Song’s own cultivation and combat strength became the first thing he needed to consider.

And how to step into the Golden Elixir Realm, also became the biggest concern for He Song at this moment.

However, after a long period of contemplation, He Song’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

There was still plenty of time.

His current cultivation was only at the Mid -stage Foundation Establishment.

There was still quite some time before his cultivation reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

During this time, He Song had plenty of time to figure out how to acquire these two treasures.

Whether to follow in Meng Guan and Wei Fan’s footsteps,

by leaving the Thick Earth Sect and heading elsewhere to seek opportunities once their cultivation reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Or wait until one’s cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, make full preparations before leaving the Thick Earth Sect, and then head elsewhere to seek opportunities.

Or perhaps, continue to stay in the Thick Earth Sect and scheme to obtain the Golden Core Secret Method within the sect?

Or maybe…

Suppressing the various thoughts in his heart,

He Song put away the teaware, went to the pond in the house to feed Yu’er a Beasts Elixir, and then headed to his quiet room.

These matters were not urgent at the moment.

Currently, the most important thing for him was to quickly improve his cultivation and refine his Elixir Tao.

Entering the quiet room,

He Song quickly sat on the cushion and began to circulate the Thick Earth Formulas, causing his mana to gradually increase.

However, while cultivating, a thought flashed through He Song’s mind.

Perhaps, it was time for his cultivation to “breakthrough” from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the Mid -stage Foundation Establishment.

Although his cultivation had already broken through to the Mid -stage Foundation Establishment and stabilized his combat strength years ago, the cultivation he showed on the outside had always remained at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage..
