Chapter 184 - 184: 184: A Year Later

Translator: 549690339

Just like that.

Another year passed in the blink of an eye.

During this year.

He Song became more and more proficient in the Arrow God Thorn. In the end, he even managed to practice it to the point where he could use it casually without losing any of its power.

Indeed, the cultivation of the Arrow God Thorn was quite difficult.

Counting the time.

It took He Song a full two and a half years to finally master the Arrow God Thorn to the point where he could use it casually without losing any of its power.

According to He Song’s original estimate, he would only need about two years to cultivate various techniques of the Foundation Establishment Realm after reaching it.

For simpler ones, such as the Blood Escape Skill, it would only take a year and a half.

However, it took He Song a full two and a half years to completely master the Arrow God Thorn.

From this, it seems that the difficulty of cultivating the Arrow God Thorn is more challenging than other techniques of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Moreover.

The two and a half years were only because He Song cultivated skills faster than other cultivators, so it took only two and a half years.

After completely mastering the Arrow God Thorn, He Song could use it easily without losing any of its power, so he finally relaxed and left his quiet room.

However, as soon as He Song stepped out of the quiet room, he saw a palm-sized turtle on the ground outside the door, lying on its back with all four feet in the air, as if it was accusing him of negligence.

Upon seeing this.

He Song beckoned, and mana rushed out from his body, lifting the little turtle on the ground and placing it on his hands.

After taking a closer look.

He Song came to a conclusion.

It was not dead.

It was okay.

He put down the little turtle, threw some food to it, and then walked into the tea room.

He brewed himself a pot of hot tea.

With the fragrance of the tea filling the room, He Song picked up the tea cup and took a gentle sip.

Noticing that there was a tiny increase in his mana after swallowing the tea, He Song’s eyes flashed with dissatisfaction.

This tea was highly effective for Qi Refining cultivators.

But for Foundation Establishment cultivators, it could only be said to be slightly helpful at best.

The increase in his cultivation was too minimal.

It seemed he would have to change the tea he drank daily to spirit tea suitable for the Foundation Establishment Realm.

With this thought in mind, He Song quickly calculated his age and found that he was very close to his sixtieth year.

There was just a little over half a month before he would turn sixty.

Seeing this, he thought for a moment before taking out a thin piece of paper, pouring his spirit power into it, and writing several lines of text on it.

“Fellow daoist, I am approaching the age of sixty, and two years ago, I failed in my Foundation Establishment. It is affecting my dao heart.”

“Currently, I have left the sect to search for an opportunity to break through while also trying to make up for the deficiencies in my dao heart.” “If successful, I will return to the sect with good news.”

“If not, I will return to the sect after recovering from my injuries to serve at the sect’s disposal.” “Do not worry.”

“He Song.”

After deliberating on his words, He Song came up with a reason for attempting to break through his Foundation Establishment stage outside the sect.

Furthermore, he left a reassuring message, stating that if successful, he would return to the sect with good news, and if not, he would serve at the sect’s disposal after recovering from his injuries.

Thus.

Even if He Song were to break through his Foundation Establishment stage outside the sect, no one would suspect anything upon reading this letter. For this was a message He Song sent to his good friends within the sect.

Nobody would think that he was lying after reading this.

After all, who knew that He Song had actually broken through the Foundation Establishment Realm long ago, and had been acting years ahead of time?

In others’ eyes, He Song had no reason or motive for fabricating his story.

With two Foundation Establishment Elixirs and two Foundation Establishment Realm Master friends in the sect, why would he need to lie?

Wasn’t it normal to no longer be confident after failing in their first Foundation Establishment attemDt, which affected their dao heart?

Wasn’t it also normal to try to mend their dao heart outside the sect before attempting the Foundation Establishment again?

And when the day came that He Song returned to the sect as a Foundation Establishment Master.

The existence of this Sound Transmission Amulet would serve as proof of the authenticity of his written words.

By then.

No one would question why He Song wanted to leave the sect to establish his foundation.

They would only sigh, thinking how lucky He Song was to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm when he was about to turn sixty.

The existence of this Sound Transmission Amulet was just one layer of insurance that He Song had in place for his plan to break through Foundation Establishment outside the sect.

After making several copies of the text on the thin paper.

He sent them to Meng Guan, Wei Fan, Ping’er, and Zhao Lin, respectively.

He Song soon received their replies.

In their responses.

Meng Guan, Wei Fan, Ping’er, and Zhao Lin all expressed their understanding of He Song’s decision and wished him success in his Foundation Establishment.

They also each expressed regret that they couldn’t be there to guard him during the process.

Seeing this, He Song didn’t engage in further communication with them.

The more they talked, the more they might give away.

After thinking about it, He Song quickly looked in the direction of Green Wall Immortal City.

If he were to mend his dao heart.

I’m afraid I have to go to Green Wall Immortal City myself.

Head to Green Wall Immortal City using the Breath Concealment Formulas.

As long as he doesn’t encounter other Foundation Establishment Realm Masters, He Song can hide his cultivation.

But if he’s in the Thick Earth Sect… it might not be so easy to hide.

That’s because there are Foundation Establishment Realm Masters guarding the sect and a Golden Elixir Master in charge.

He Song is not sure if the Breath Concealment Formulas can deceive a Golden Elixir Master.

Even for a Foundation Establishment Realm Master, He Song can only guarantee that they won’t sense his Foundation Establishment Realm aura if they don’t meet face-to-face.

But if he encounters them directly, they might see through him at a glance.

Therefore, He Song needs to infiltrate Green Wall Immortal City using the Breath Concealment Formulas.

Then, in his temporary residence, he needs to set up a small Spirit-Gathering Array and manually operate it to extract the surrounding spirit Qi.

Create a small Qi vortex.

It doesn’t need to be big.

Just like when Meng Guan broke through before, a not too big or too small Qi vortex is enough.

In this case, He Song just needs to sit in the quiet room, release his divine sense to cover the room, and wait for the situation to develop.

If a strange divine sense comes to investigate,

as soon as their divine senses touch, the strange divine sense will confirm that someone is breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm within Green Wall Immortal City.

Only after He Song’s breakthrough is over will they personally visit him.

Just like when Meng Guan broke through, and Master Qingy Yue came personally.

In this way,

the news of He Song consolidating his Dao heart and breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in Green Wall Immortal City will immediately spread.

His words and actions will then verify each other.

Even if some people in the Thick Earth Sect are suspicious, after learning about this matter, they probably won’t doubt He Song’s breakthrough outside the sect too much.

After all, although his breakthrough isn’t within the sect, it’s still within Immortal City.

The Foundation Establishment Realm Master who comes to see He Song in Immortal City can testify for him.

So, naturally no one will have doubts about He Song’s breakthrough outside the sect anymore.

By the time He Song achieves Foundation Establishment and returns to the sect, the treatment he receives shouldn’t be affected either. He Song has been a member of the Thick Earth Sect for over ten years.

All these years, he’s been within the sect.

Now that he’s reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, it’s a great joyous event for the sect disciples who have also succeeded in their breakthrough.

Moreover,

with the different status of Foundation Establishment Realm Masters, even if someone is suspicious, they will not have any objections as long as He Song has returned to the Thick Earth Sect.

He Song, Wei Fan, and Meng Guan are a formidable force when they band together as Foundation Establishment Realm Masters.

Thus, He Song does not need to worry about his breakthrough outside the sect being questioned by others anymore.

After planning everything,

He Song stayed in his cave mansion for another two days.

He finally got up and left his cave mansion.

He used the Breath Concealment Formulas and the Earth Tunneling Skill all the way.

He Song’s figure quickly arrived outside Green Wall Immortal City.

Although he was delayed for two days, his speed was much faster than when he was at the Qi Refining great perfection stage.

At this rate, calculating the time it takes for him to travel from the Thick Earth Sect to Green Wall Immortal City at the speed of Qi Refining great perfection, He Song should be arriving at the city.

This timing is what He Song had calculated.

Upon entering Green Wall Immortal City, He Song quickly rented a room in an inn in the west of the city using some spirit stones.

From this point, the first half of He Song’s plan began. In the inn,

He Song waited for several days.

Until one day,

He Song was sitting on a cushion with a small Spirit-Gathering Array set up by his side.

At the same time, he absorbed the spirit Qi himself, causing the spirit Qi to gather continuously from all directions.

After a small Qi vortex formed in mid- air,

He Song timely released his divine sense, covering the entire room within the range of his perception.

Having done all of this,

He Song checked the Qi vortex that had appeared above the inn with his divine sense, and nodded secretly in his heart.

The Qi vortex was just the right size, almost indistinguishable from when Meng Guan had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

In this state, it should quickly attract the attention of others.

At the same time, the Foundation Establishment Realm Masters within Green Wall Immortal City would likely come to investigate soon.

When that happens, the moment He Song’s divine sense touches the other party, his plan will be halfway successful. The next step, is to wait quietly.

A Qi vortex had appeared above an inn in Green Wall Immortal City.

This sight immediately shocked all the cultivators in the city who had observed it.

Everyone knows,

to cause a Qi vortex in a place as rich with spirit Qi as Green Wall Immortal

City,

either someone breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and is currently consolidating their cultivation, or a Golden Elixir Realm Master is cultivating here to cause such a big commotion..
