Chapter 532: Chapter 468: Successful “Golden Core Formation” _2

Meng Guan understood He Song’s approach, and he admired He Song’s decision to retreat into seclusive cultivation again.

Just like what He Song did, he also chose to enhance his personal strength first after he had successfully broke through to the Golden Core Realm.

Only after significantly increasing his strength, did he start to seek fortunes or do something else.

Furthermore, Meng Guan shared another piece of news with He Song.

This time, for safety reasons, Wei Fan had made his breakthrough into the Golden Core Realm inside Meng Guan’s cave mansion, in the Sun Faction’s mountain gate.

As such, the progress of Wei Fan’s breakthrough attracted the attention of many cultivators in the Sun Faction.

Now that Wei Fan successfully broke through to the Golden Core Realm, many Sun Faction cultivators came to congratulate him.

However, since Wei Fan accomplished his breakthrough within the Sun Faction territory but was not a disciple of the Sun Faction,

Some Sun Faction cultivators who congratulated him immediately informed the Sect Leader of the Sun Faction about this matter after finding out.

In the Sun Faction, although it is a Nascent Soul Upper Sect, the sect leader is not Ancestor Yuanying.

It is a direct descendant of Ancestor Yuanying, whose cultivation level is in the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm.

Given his level of cultivation and the fact that he is a direct descendant of Ancestor Yuanying, he managed to secure the position of Sun Faction’s Sect Leader.

As for Ancestor Yuanying, he is usually in seclusion.

Upon learning that a foreign cultivator had successfully broken through to the Golden Core Realm within the mountain gate of the Sun Faction,

The Golden Elixir Sect Leader personally extended an invitation for Wei Fan to join the Sun Faction.

Why would Wei Fan reject such an offer?

Evidently, Meng Guan had already joined the Sun Faction and become a Golden Elixir Elder in the Sun Faction.

Now that Wei Fan, his good friend, had successfully broken through to the Golden Core Realm within the Sun Faction and received an invitation from the Sect Leader, Wei Fan certainly wouldn’t refuse.

Therefore, when the Sect Leader left, Wei Fan, just like Meng Guan, became a Golden Elixir Elder in the Sun Faction.

At the same time, both Meng Guan and Wei Fan were praised by the Sect Leader and received many valuable rewards.

After informing He Song about this news,

Meng Guan straightforwardly said that if He Song also wanted to join the Sun Faction, he just needed to tell him.

Now, both Meng Guan and Wei Fan have become Golden Elixir Elders in the Sun Faction, and their combined strength of two Golden Elixir Masters is formidable even within the Sun Faction.

If He Song, another Golden Elixir Master, joined them, their authority would presumably increase even more.

Therefore, Meng Guan also considered pulling He Song into the Sun Faction.

He was subtly probing to see He Song’s opinion on this point by asking now.

Aside from this,

Meng Guan simply told He Song to focus on his seclusive cultivation, delaying the celebration until after He Song and Wei Fan had come out from seclusion.

Wei Fan had already joined the Sun Faction, so the resources he could access are naturally incomparable to He Song’s.

So, after breaking through the Golden Core Realm, he would naturally rely on the Sun Faction’s resources to quickly increase his combat power.

Even Meng Guan, after joining the Sun Faction, gradually increased his combat power by relying on the Sun Faction’s resources.

Regarding the message sent by Meng Guan and Wei Fan after their discussion,

He Song read it at a glance,

And everything immediately became clear in his mind.

Actually, Wei Fan’s joining of the Sun Faction hadn’t surprised He Song at all.

He Song had already known that Meng Guan had joined the Sun Faction a while ago.

Moreover, after Meng Guan had found three Golden Congealing Elixir Pills, he quickly summoned He Song and Wei Fan to attempt breaking through to the Golden Core Realm with these pills.

Where was Meng Guan at the time?

Naturally, within the mountain gate of the Sun Faction.

So, upon learning of Wei Fan’s breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, He Song had already expected Wei Fan would surely join the Sun Faction.

Perhaps, the Sun Faction might take this opportunity, before the war with the God Locking Sect, to host a grand Golden Core celebration in honor of Wei Fan’s breakthrough.

This could boost morale before the war against the God Locking Sect, and even serve as a warning to the God Locking Sect.

Nevertheless, these speculations are irrelevant now. He Song was still unsure whether the Sun Faction had such a plan.

However, in regard to Meng Guan’s invitation to join the Sun Faction,

He Song simply let out a slight sigh in his heart, and then shook his head.

Join the Sun Faction.

He Song had contemplated this before, but he eventually dismissed the idea.

Joining the Sun Faction didn’t offer him significant advantages; on the contrary, it could lead to numerous drawbacks.

Despite He Song’s current cultivation level in the Golden Elixir Realm and the lack of many golden elixir secrets at his disposal, his understanding of the Golden Elixir Realm is far from comparable to other golden elixir cultivators.

However, since his cultivation has reached the Golden Elixir Realm, He Song would naturally be able to obtain what he needed from various gatherings of Golden Elixir Masters in the future.

Even if it were golden elixir secrets or array skills for the Golden Elixir Realm, He Song could trade for them with others.

As for familiarising himself with the Golden Elixir Realm, He Song could always consult Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

Now that they’ve joined the Sun Faction, their sources of information are much broader than his.

If all else fails, he could also ask Master Luo Jing.

Master Luo Jing, as a Golden Elixir Master of the Treasure Pavilion, probably has more information sources than Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

Therefore, joining the Sun Faction doesn’t bring much benefit to He Song.

However, the disadvantages are quite numerous.

The feud between the Sun Faction and the God Locking Sect is already explicit.

A drastic change might occur in the upcoming years.

Joining at this time, he may soon be sent to the battlefield.

The Sun Faction is not like the Thick Earth Sect, which is a minor golden elixir faction; it is an Upper Sect with unknown years of existence and is presided over by Ancestor Yuanying.

As a golden elixir elder, under the scrutiny of Ancestor Yuanying above him,

Who would dare to desert in the face of battle?

In the absence of deserting, the Sun Faction can confidently send the golden elixir elders from the sect to the battlefield.

Even if this golden elixir elder has not been in the sect for a long time.

Therefore, the dangers of joining the Sun Faction are apparent.

He Song is not the one to knowingly invite danger.

Besides, the Ancestor Yuanying in the Sun Faction is also an uncertain factor for He Song.

Unless necessary, He Song would absolutely not appear in front of this person.

If he detects something, He Song, who is only at the Golden Elixir Realm, probably won’t have much power to fight back.

Additionally, after joining the Sun Faction, He Song would inevitably have to interact with other golden elixir cultivators within it.

Moreover, the artifacts he has refined and even the flying boat he uses were all obtained from Master Yin Yue.

Master Yin Yue was a golden elixir elder of the Sun Faction in his lifetime.

Perhaps even now, Master Yin Yue’s relatives and friends are still in the Sun Faction.

If He Song shows up in the Sun Faction with Master Yin Yue’s belongings, what awaits He Song may be thorough questioning from these people.

Perhaps, a large number of enemies would instantly appear.

By then,

Even if He Song, Meng Guan, and Wei Fan form a group within the Sun Faction, they probably won’t withstand the sudden surge of hostility.

In summary,

He Song cannot join the Sun Faction.

As for Meng Guan’s suggestion, He Song had no choice but to refuse.

However, although he had this thought in mind, He Song couldn’t just reject the suggestion as soon as Meng Guan hinted it.

In his reply to Meng Guan and Wei Fan, He Song simply stated that he has already started his seclusive cultivation, and they would discuss him joining the Sun Faction after he emerges.

But he also slightly mentioned that he currently lacks nothing.

And that joining the Sun Faction would also mean he has to face risks, thereby giving Meng Guan and Wei Fan an impression.

He didn’t explicitly refuse, though.

According to He Song’s estimate,

Meng Guan and Wei Fan, after reading his words, may not have much expectation for his possible future inclusion in the Sun Faction.

But they won’t necessarily conclude that he won’t join the Sun Faction.

Thus, at least during his upcoming years in seclusion, he doesn’t need to worry about Meng Guan and Wei Fan revealing this matter.

As long as He Song doesn’t make a statement, they won’t go around broadcasting the matter of whether or not He Song would join the Sun Faction in the future.
