Chapter 196 - 196: 196: Successful Foundation Establishment

Translator: 549690339

Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array is a killing array recorded in the Array Tao Primary Introduction.

Originally, He Song wanted to set it up in the cave mansion outside the Thick Earth Sect.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes.

After returning to the Thick Earth Sect, He Song quickly immersed himself in the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment secret method and had no time to be distracted.

In this situation, he could only temporarily stop studying the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array and focus on cultivating the Foundation Establishment secret method.

As for the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array, he would pick it up again after the ten-year period of rapid strength enhancement had passed.

He Song himself is living in the mountain gate of the Thick Earth Sect, so the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array is not needed for the time being.

And it is precisely because of this.

The Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array has not been successfully studied by He Song.

However, according to He Song’s thoughts,

After spending ten years in the Thick Earth Sect, it would be time to pick up the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array and continue studying it.

Array Tao.

It has always been He Song’s trump card.

As a trump card, He Song would naturally spare no effort to study Array Tao.

It was only because he needed to quickly enhance his combat power this time that he temporarily put it aside for a while.

Now that He Song had returned to the Thick Earth Sect for eight years,

He wasn’t sure whether he would be sent out of the sect by Master Fa Xuan to guard the Immortal Pavilion or Immortal City after his Foundation Establishment.

Thus, during this ten-year period of rapid strength enhancement, He Song constantly strove to increase his strength to avoid being assigned outside and failing to establish a foothold due to insufficient strength.

In the sixth year since He Song returned to the sect,

The war between Thick Earth Sect and Seven Star Sect had already ended.

He Song had personally gone to welcome back his two good friends.

The Foundation Establishment Masters of both Master Fa Xuan and Master Yan Shan’s factions must divide the territories of the Seven Star Sect.

He Song had even heard news that some Foundation Establishment Masters who had just returned to the sect had been sent out to guard Immortal Pavilions, like Master Cheng Shan of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion in the past.

However, the territories guarded by the Foundation Establishment Masters who had been dispatched this time were no longer within the original scope of the Thick Earth Sect’s power.

They were the territories that the Thick Earth Sect had seized from the Seven Star Sect.

In the original territories of the Seven Star Sect’s influence, there would also need to be Foundation Establishment Masters from the Thick Earth Sect to stabilize the situation.

Otherwise, there might be some instability.

And it is precisely because of this.

He Song dared not stop cultivating the Foundation Establishment method and prioritized everything to increase his strength.

In case he was really sent out to guard an Immortal Pavilion or an Immortal City, he would at least have some confidence to deal with emergencies.

Time.

Slowly passed as He Song closed himself off to cultivate the Foundation Establishment method.

In the blink of an eye,

Two more years had passed in a flash.

Now,

It had been the tenth year since He Song returned to the Thick Earth Sect.

It had been two whole years since He Song refined two high-quality artifacts and significantly increased his strength.

In these two years,

He Song had taken another step forward in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Getting closer to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

At the same time, He Song had learned another Foundation Establishment Skill.

Soul Searching Skill.

By using the Soul Searching Skill, one can examine the memories of the person subjected to it.

During the process, the person being searched will suffer intense pain and torment.

After the Soul Searching is over,

The soul-searched person will usually suffer severe damage to their soul, becoming an idiot.

Meanwhile, the person performing the Soul Searching can view all the information they want to know.

With a cultivator’s memory, just watching it once is enough to remember it very clearly.

Therefore, once the Soul Searching skill is used, the cultivator can learn everything they want to know, with no place to hide.

In these two years,

The Thick Earth Sect conducted a series of sweeping operations in the original territories of the Seven Star Sect.

Some forces with loyalty to the Seven Star Sect were uprooted by Foundation Establishment Masters dispatched by the Thick Earth Sect.

There were also some forces unwilling to be under the Thick Earth Sect’s rule that tried to flee but were hunted down and exterminated by Foundation Establishment Masters sent by the Thick Earth Sect.

One after another, Foundation Establishment Masters were sent by the two

Golden Elixir Masters of the Thick Earth Sect to successively occupy various Immortal Pavilions and Immortal Cities in the original territories of the Seven Star Sect.

In the four years since the end of the war,

He Song would occasionally hear who had left the sect to guard the Immortal Pavilion or Immortal City.

Master Qing Yue.

She was assigned to guard an Immortal City that originally belonged to the Seven Star Sect but now belonged to the Thick Earth Sect.

Meng Guan was also sent by Master Fa Xuan to guard an Immortal Pavilion that had just been occupied by the Thick Earth Sect three years after he returned to the sect.

Wei Fan, at the same time as Meng Guan’s departure, was also sent by Master Fa Xuan to an Immortal Pavilion that had just been occupied by the Thick Earth Sect, serving as a Master Guardian.

When Meng Guan and Wei Fan were sent out at the same time, He Song went out of seclusion to see them off.

He also learned that the Immortal Pavilions where the two friends were stationed were not too far away.

He Song memorized the locations of the Immortal Pavilions where his two friends were stationed, and after bidding farewell to them, he received news that Zhao Lin would also be sent elsewhere to guard an Immortal Pavilion.

Zhao Lin.

A good friend who had been in contact with He Song since the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

After breaking through the Foundation Establishment Realm and joining the Thick Earth Sect, he had been in the Foundation Establishment for ten years at the same time as Meng Guan and Wei Fan were sent out to guard the Immortal Pavilions.

Zhao Lin’s Foundation Establishment was a bit later than He Song’s.

However, because He Song successfully built his Foundation Establishment in his own cave mansion and entered the Thick Earth Sect as a recent Foundation Establishment cultivator after four years, the difference in their cultivation time wasn’t large.

Thus.

Even though Zhao Lin’s Foundation Establishment took place later than He Song’s, he completed the ten-year rapid growth period earlier than He Song.

Foundation Establishment cultivators will experience a massive change in strength within ten years after their Foundation Establishment.

After ten years, they can possess the combat power of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As such, Zhao Lin has also spent a full ten years in the Thick Earth Sect.

He Song once visited him after returning to the sect.

The two of them had a great time talking.

Moreover, they are now fellow disciples, and were even close friends before.

Their relationship, after their long-awaited reunion, did not change much and they still called each other good friends.

Zhao Lin was soon to be dispatched to guard an Immortal Pavilion elsewhere.

He Song naturally went to see him off.

After also noting down the specific location of the Immortal Pavilion guarded by Zhao Lin, He Song sent him away from the mountain gate.

From now on.

All three of He Song’s good friends within the Thick Earth Sect had been sent to other places to guard them.

He also knew in his heart.

After he had spent ten years in the sect, he would undoubtedly be dispatched elsewhere as a Master Guardian of an Immortal Pavilion or Immortal City-

By then.

It might not be as simple to return to the sect to learn Foundation Establishment techniques as it was before.

Thus.

While He Song continued to practice the Soul Searching Skill in these two years, he also frequently went to the Thick Earth Sect’s Book Collection Pavilion, imprinting one Foundation Establishment secret technique after another into his memory.

In that case.

In case he had to leave the Thick Earth Sect in the future.

His cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Realm and various techniques would not fall too far behind.

However.

Although he had already made preparations for future difficulties, He Song couldn’t help but covet the Golden Elixir techniques beyond Foundation Establishment.

He had already suffered from the lack of Foundation Establishment techniques when he broke through to Foundation Establishment.

If he were to break through to Golden Elixir without acquiring Golden Elixir Realm techniques like back then, he would probably not be able to compare his combat power to other sects’ Golden Elixir Masters even if his cultivation reached the Golden Elixir Realm.

By then…

He Song felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

He might need to make good plans for obtaining the Golden Elixir techniques of the Thick Earth Sect.

After bidding farewell to his three friends, He Song spent the following time continuously studying Soul Searching Skill.

Until one day.

He Song had completely cultivated the Soul Searching Skill to the point where he could use it freely without sacrificing its power.

Today.

It happened to be ten years since He Song returned to the Thick Earth Sect.

It also meant that, in the eyes of others, He Song had been in the Foundation Establishment stage for ten years.

However, those people did not know that He Song had already been at Foundation Establishment stage for fourteen years, only spending four of those years in the cave mansion he had opened outside, which they were unaware of.

Even so.

In the eyes of others, after ten years of Foundation Establishment.

He Song should have also owned the combat power of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

It was time for him to be assigned to important tasks and be dispatched to guard Immortal Pavilions or Immortal Cities.

As a Thick Earth Sect elder.

Receiving an annual salary of three thousand spirit stones.

Naturally, he had to work for it.

Now that He Song had come out of seclusion, he feared that orders about him would arrive soon.

By that time.

He Song would have no choice but to go to the place specified in the order, guarding an Immortal Pavilion or an Immortal City for the Thick Earth Sect.

However.

Just as He Song had just come out of seclusion and was preparing to make another trip to the Book Collection Pavilion to see if there were any other Foundation Establishment techniaues he still needed to oreoare.

The Sound Transmission Amulet hung on his body suddenly lit up.

Seeing this scene.

He Song’s face changed slightly.

Could it be… his orders had arrived?

It had only been ten years, and Master Fa Xuan couldn’t even wait for a day, so eager to send him out of the sect?

With this thought flashing through his mind, He Song soon let it go.

That’s true.

Now that the Thick Earth Sect occupied a large area of the Seven Star Sect’s territory, it was in dire need of manpower.

Foundation Establishment Masters like him, who possess Foundation Establishment combat power, were naturally scarce.

Whether they were used to guard Immortal Pavilions or Immortal Cities, they were useful.

He Song just felt that it was a bit too hasty.

Opening the Sound Transmission Amulet.

He Song took a thin piece of paper from the Sound Transmission Amulet.

“Brother He, Ping’er successfully reached Foundation Establishment nine years ago, but has been in seclusion since then. Knowing that Brother He has also been in seclusion, I have not purposely disturbed you. I hope Brother He will not mind.”

“With the help of Master, Ping’er now has the combat power of the Foundation Establishment stage.”

“However, recently Pinger has heard that Brother He seems to be about to leave seclusion soon and be transferred elsewhere. I wonder if it is possible to visit you before leaving.”

“Ping’er. ”

Looking at the graceful writing on the paper, He Song’s expression slightly fluctuated.

Ping’er.

She has reached Foundation Establishment?

And as early as nine years ago?
