Chapter 192 - 192: 192: Four Years Later

This was also the reason why He Song did not choose to study this array skill initially.

At the same time.

He Song also thought of the conversation he had with Meng Guan and Wei Fan a few years ago about the secrets of the Thick Earth Sect. They were evasive.

With the Purple Cloud Heavenly Array, there should be no need to worry about their conversation getting leaked.

Nevertheless, both of them were still choosing to be evasive. Even though they hinted at it, they never directly spoke about it.

Thinking about this.

The Purple Cloud Heavenly Array’s ability to guard against divine sense might be weak.

For Foundation Establishment Realm masters, the Purple Cloud Heavenly Array’s concealment ability might already be strong.

However, the two of them might have learned some news that the Purple Cloud Heavenly Array’s concealment ability was not as strong for Golden Elixir Realm masters.

“It seems that even though the Purple Cloud Heavenly Array has more functions, its concealment function is not as good as my Smoke Array.” “I was on the right path when I chose to study such a focused array.”

Looking at the location where the Purple Cloud Heavenly Array is set up, He Song felt a sense of relief in his heart.

It was a good thing that he had chosen to study specialized arrays instead of ones like the Purple Cloud Heavenly Array, which can do both but is not proficient in either.

Although they might have a wide range of functions, the power difference between the two is not comparable.

After feeling relieved.

He Song activated the Miniature Spirit Gathering Array and the Purple Cloud Heavenly Array in his cave mansion.

Immediately.

The surrounding spirit Qi began to converge toward He Song’s cave mansion.

Above He Song’s cave mansion, purple clouds filled the sky and shielded it from view.

After the sky was covered with purple clouds, He Song entered the meditation room in his cave mansion.

After moving.

Naturally, he continued to cultivate his newly acquired Foundation Establishment Skill.

Upon entering the meditation room.

Feeling the density of the spirit Qi around him rapidly increasing. He Song quickly immersed himself in the cultivation of his Foundation Establishment Skill.

Having changed his Foundation Establishment cultivation skill.

Next.

He Song considered for a moment and then set his sights on offensive skills.

Earth Dragon Skill.

Thick Earth Seal.

After weighing the options between these two offensive skills, He Song finally chose to study the Thick Earth Seal first.

The Thick Earth Seal is a secret skill that Foundation Establishment Realm masters of the Thick Earth Sect basically all learn.

It’s not because the Thick Earth Seal is too common.

Rather, it’s because of the great power of the Thick Earth Seal, which can be used offensively and defensively. Naturally, it also significantly increases the strength of Foundation Establishment realm cultivators.

Secret skills that are based on seals.

Usually, have immense power.

Naturally, they also consume a lot of mana.

Therefore, even if they have learned the Thick Earth Seal, they generally use it as a trump card.

It will not be used easily.

For regular combat, He Song chose the Earth Dragon Skill.

However, now is not the time to cultivate the Earth Dragon Skill.

First, learn the Thick Earth Seal, and then study the Earth Dragon Skill.

This is the order He Song has set for himself.

After completing the study of these two offensive skills, he will start learning other skills.

He Song immersed himself in the process of cultivating skills.

Time.

Quietly passed as he cultivated his skills.

In a blink of an eye.

Four years had passed.

During these four years, He Song had cultivated the Thick Earth Seal to the point where he could use it freely without losing power.

He also cultivated the Earth Dragon Skill to the point where he could use it freely without losing power.

However, just after He Song had practiced both offensive skills to proficiency.

His gaze turned to the Thick Earth Sect’s Book Collection Pavilion once again.

“Phantom Escaping Skill, Fire-Melting Shield, and Dust Cloak Skill, these three skills can be left for later study.”

“When I was browsing the Foundation Establishment skills on the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion earlier, there were a few other skills I need urgently.”

“First, learn those skills and then turn back to study these three.” Nowadays.

After learning these two offensive skills for the Foundation Establishment realm.

He Song’s offensive capabilities are sufficient.

In the course of these four years, the spirit amulets on his body have also been gradually replaced with Foundation Establishment level Defense Spirit Amulets.

His defensive capabilities have been similarly enhanced.

Even the two artifacts on his body, one for offense and one for defense, have already been purchased from the Artifact Refining Hall using contribution points to acquire new high-quality artifacts.

However, due to time constraints.

And no need to leave the sect.

He Song did not choose to refine the two newly replaced high-quality artifacts.

Under such circumstances.

All he needs to do now is refine the two high-quality artifacts on his body to have Foundation Establishment realm combat power.

At that time, what he’ll lack will not only be offensive and defensive capabilities.

But also some auxiliary skills.

For example.

The Breath Concealment Skill which can block the observation of Spirit Vision Skill and completely hide a cultivator’s breath.

The Qi Observing Skill that can see through the concealment of Breath Concealment Formulas and has various additional effects.

The Soul Searching Skill that can view other people’s memories and cause severe pain.

The Sealing Skill that can completely seal people or objects. Without a correct solution or cultivation not higher than his own, one cannot break the seal.

The Soul Splitting Skill that can cause severe pain to enemies and is specifically used for torturing people.

Being able…

Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment realm.

His abilities were now much more numerous than when he was in the Qi Refining stage.

When He Song searched for Foundation Establishment techniques in the Book Collection Pavilion’s second floor before, he often saw various types of techniques like the ones mentioned earlier.

Some of these techniques were.

Yin, common, cruel, and even some that could save cultivators a lot of trouble.

He Song naturally wouldn’t let go of these auxiliary techniques.

Especially the Soul Searching Skill.

This skill, which could be used to view an enemy’s memories, was exactly what He Song had in mind.

You should know.

Before this, he had missed several chances.

If he had the Soul Searching Skill at that time, maybe those missed opportunities would have fallen into He Song’s hands.

It’s a pity.

Such a pity.

But it’s okay now.

After successfully establishing his foundation, if he encounters that kind of situation again in the future, with just one Soul Searching Skill, He Song would be able to know everything he wants to know. He wouldn’t miss any more opportunities.

Thus.

Four years later, He Song’s figure appeared in the Book Collection Pavilion once again.

Entering the Book Collection Pavilion.

He was still greeted by Yang Yan.

But this time He Song had no intention of chatting with him.

After greeting him, He Song immediately went up to the second floor, took all the auxiliary techniques he remembered in his mind, and held them in his hands.

He then went into the quiet room in the Book Collection Pavilion and imprinted all the auxiliary techniques he had chosen into his mind.

Skill, Soul Splitting Skill.

A total of five auxiliary techniques.

After imprinting these five auxiliary techniques into his memory.

He Song quickly returned to his cave mansion.

Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room.

He Song closed his eyes slightly, and the introduction of the Breath Concealment Skill quickly flashed through his mind.

The Breath Concealment Skill is not the same as the Breath Concealment Formulas.

The Breath Concealment Formulas are only for the Qi Refining stage.

It can deceive Qi Refining stage cultivators, but it can’t deceive the divine sense scanning of Foundation Establishment Masters.

Although ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators wouldn’t be scanned by a Foundation Establishment Master’s divine sense.

But if a Foundation Establishment Master really wants to know your cultivation level and uses divine sense scanning, the Breath Concealment Formulas wouldn’t be able to block it.

Only the Breath Concealment Skill, an auxiliary technique of the Foundation Establishment Realm, can block the divine sense scanning.

Of course.

If you don’t resist, the divine sense scanning can naturally also be detected by the caster, but the cultivation -level perceived would be the one the caster wants to show.

For example, He Song is currently in the early Foundation Establishment stage.

If he uses the Breath Concealment Skill to hide his cultivation at the Qi Refining Early Stage.

In this case, whether others use the Qi Refining stage’s Spirit Vision Skill or the Foundation Establishment Realm’s Qi Observing Skill, they would see the Qi Refining Early Stage.

Even if they use divine sense scanning, they can only see that He Song’s cultivation is at the Qi Refining Early Stage.

In this way.

The strength of the Breath Concealment Skill can be seen.

The functions of Foundation Establishment Realm auxiliary techniques are indeed much stronger than those of the Qi Refining stage skills.

At the same time.

Besides the Breath Concealment Skill.

The appearance of the Qi Observing Skill also allows Foundation Establishment stage cultivators to see through the hiding of Qi Refining stage cultivators.

After practicing the Qi Observing Skill, Foundation Establishment Masters can see through the hiding of Qi Refining stage cultivators who use the Breath Concealment Formulas.

This is also the reason why He Song didn’t dare to show his face in front of other Foundation Establishment Masters when he entered Green Wall Immortal City four years ago.

At that time, He Song.

It had only been four years since he broke through to Foundation Establishment.

And he hadn’t learned the Breath Concealment Skill yet, so even though his cultivation was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could only use the Breath Concealment Formulas, which couldn’t resist the probing of the Qi Observing Skill.

As a result, in order to hide his cultivation, he could only hide himself and not attract the attention of Foundation Establishment Masters.

Of course, the Qi Observing Skill can see through Breath Concealment Formulas.

But it can’t see through the Breath Concealment Skill.

Although the Qi Observing Skill doesn’t seem as powerful as the Breath Concealment Skill.

However, the Qi Observing Skill is not only used to observe other cultivators’ cultivation.

Elixir refinement requires the Qi Observing Skill.

Artifact refinement also requires the Qi Observing Skill.

Some things that require the use of vision generally require the Qi Observing Skill.

This auxiliary skill can be said to be a must-have skill for Foundation Establishment Masters.

After reading the introductions of the Breath Concealment Skill and the Qi Observing Skill, He Song thought for a moment and soon immersed himself in the practice of these two auxiliary techniques.

In He Song’s view, the Breath Concealment Skill and Qi Observing Skill must be learned as soon as possible.

As for the reason.

He Song is an everlasting being.

As an everlasting being, his cultivation progress naturally cannot be the same as that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Masters.

Therefore, he needs to rely on the Breath Concealment Skill to hide himself so as not to be noticed by others for being abnormal.

Although using the Breath Concealment Skill all the time would seem strange, it is still more dangerous to expose one’s cultivation progress to others. Only by keeping others in the dark about their specific cultivation.

Can one’s safety be truly guaranteed.

After all.

If one’s cultivation remains in the early stages of Foundation Establishment and doesn’t advance, it would also draw the disdain of others.

Instead of that.

It’s better to hide one’s cultivation and keep others from knowing.

Of course, the most important point is.

With the Breath Concealment Skill.

He Song can hide his cultivation and go to various Immortal Pavilions for trading.

He will no longer attract the attention of the Foundation Establishment Masters guarding the Immortal Pavilion because of his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation.

In this way.

When He Song doesn’t need to worry about being discovered by the Master Guardian of the Immortal Pavilion.

He would no longer have to come and go in a hurry when dealing with spirit rice or spirit medicine for fear of being hunted down like before..
