Chapter 995: Chapter 699: Great Increase in Strength!_2

These five years,

actually do not count for much.

After all, Gold Core Cultivators have a lifespan of five hundred years, and five years is merely one percent of that.

This length of time is not worth mentioning for Gold Core Cultivators; even Foundation Establishment cultivators would often seclude themselves for longer.

However, outsiders are completely oblivious to this.

He Song’s strength

had, during these years, undergone a complete and earth-shattering transformation.

More than five years ago,

He Song’s cultivation was only at the Golden Core Middle Stage, without a life-bound Artifact, nor the power to resist a Nascent Soul Grand Perfection Cultivator.

Yet today, after five years,

He Song’s cultivation has reached the Later Stage of Golden Elixir, and he now possesses the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl as his life-bound Artifact.

Now, He Song, even when facing a Golden Elixir Great Perfection Cultivator, would not face a life-threatening danger.

Even if that Golden Elixir Great Perfection Cultivator was extremely powerful and possessed a life-bound Artifact,

He Song was utterly unafraid.

After all, when there’s only a small realm separating their strengths,

no matter how formidable the opponent, he could at most only defeat He Song.

As for killing him,

that would be somewhat wishful thinking.

It could be said

that after over five years of seclusive cultivation, He Song truly possessed the strength to stand without pressure before a Golden Elixir Great Perfection Cultivator.

With his current strength, he could indeed be called a powerhouse within the Golden Elixir Realm.

And after having successfully made such a substantial increase in his power in just a short span of five years,

when He Song emerged from seclusion after five years,

Master Luo Jing’s figure quickly made its way to He Song’s mansion.

At this time, He Song had just left seclusion for no more than an hour.

However, He Song didn’t pay much attention to this matter.

The mansion he resided in was protected by Array Skills.

Each time He Song secludes himself, he would activate the mansion’s arrays, hiding everything within.

But after emerging this time, he had also removed the arrays.

Therefore, it was quite normal for Master Luo Jing to arrive at He Song’s mansion within an hour of his emergence.

In He Song’s mansion,

in the small pavilion where He Song often met with Master Luo Jing,

He Song and Master Luo Jing sat opposite each other, with wafts of tea fragrance emitting from the teapot in front of them.

After more than five years,

Master Luo Jing’s appearance had not changed in the slightest, just as before.

He Song, being of the same Golden Elixir stage, naturally remained unchanged as well.

However, the outside world had undergone quite a few significant events in these five years.

During the time of He Song’s seclusion over these five years, he did not exit to gather news as he did during previous seclusions.

Instead, he spent the entire time in his Hidden Mansion, completely unaware of the affairs outside.

Hence, when Master Luo Jing came to visit, He Song casually inquired about the major events that had occurred in the outside world over these five years.

Master Luo Jing, hearing He Song’s question, naturally did not conceal anything.

He directly recounted everything that happened during the time of He Song’s seclusion.

According to Master Luo Jing,

during the five years of He Song’s seclusion,

the war between the Northern Demon Taoists and the Righteous Sects such as Wind Snow Palace had still not commenced.

Both sides, much like before, remained wary of each other, not daring to take direct action.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

Be it Diabolism or the Righteous Tao, were still preparing various resources for the war.

To this, He Song was clear in his heart,

but he did not pay much attention to it.

He had seen the prelude to the war between the Righteous Alliance led by the Thick Earth Sect and the Northern Demonic Alliance before.

During that time, whether it was the Righteous Alliance or the Demonic Alliance, both were fully prepared.

Likewise, as now, once both parties became aware of each other’s moves, they again became cautious.

Ultimately, it was the Thick Earth Sect that couldn’t hold back and launched a surprise attack, which ignited the great war.

Now, the war between Wind Snow Palace and those Northern Demon Sects

is far more extensive than the initial Righteous and Demonic Great War.

The parties involved are all reputable Nascent Soul Upper Sects from the nearby areas.

Under such circumstances,

the preparations by both sides before the start will naturally be quite extensive.

The duration of the standoff between the two is also unlikely to be short.

And so, because of this, He Song has made some estimates about when the Righteous and Demonic Great War will begin.

A war that entangles so many Nascent Soul Upper Sects

is unsurprisingly expected to formally commence even after ten or several decades, which is just human nature.

Therefore, upon hearing Master Luo Jing’s words now, He Song naturally would not be too surprised.

On the contrary, he felt that the matter confirmed his own conjectures.

Aside from this matter,

Master Luo Jing also spoke to He Song about another issue.

A True Inheritance Disciple of the Sun Faction had just made a breakthrough to the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm two months ago.

The Sun Faction, in order to create momentum for this True Inheritance Disciple, has already invited peers from various paths, planning to hold a Golden Elixir exchange event within the gates of the Sun Faction.

This exchange event is ostensibly to celebrate the breakthrough of the Sun Faction’s True Inheritance Disciple to Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

However, behind the scenes, it also serves as a way for the Sun Faction to flex its muscles to outsiders.

The Sun Faction, Purple Cloud Sect, and even the Golden Snake Sect, as well as the Netherworld Blade Sect, and now including Wind Snow Palace,

these sects might seem very harmonious on the surface, with their disciples meeting each other in high spirits.

However, where there are people, there is Martial World.

Even though these sects are all Nascent Soul Upper Sects and the differences in strength between them are not vast,

it is only the Golden Snake Sect that has two Nascent Soul cultivators, making its strength superior to the others, and thus it stands out among these sects.

However, apart from the Golden Snake Sect, the rest of the sects each have only one Ancestor Yuanying.

With the assumption that their strengths are not vastly different, there still exists some rivalry between these forces.

For instance, now that the Sun Faction finally has a powerful True Inheritance Disciple,

and his cultivation has reached the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm,

the Sun Faction will naturally want to showcase its own strength and prosperity to the other sects.

Of course, there is another reason for this grand event.

It is to demonstrate the power of the nearby Righteous Sects.

Now, with the Righteous and Demonic Great War on the brink of erupting, the Sun Faction also hopes to use this event to intimidate the Demonic Sects of the North.

Although this event won’t change the crucial aspects of the war between the two sides,

since it has occurred, it naturally can have some influence.

According to Master Luo Jing, the Sun Faction has invited not only various Righteous Tao cultivators for this grand event,

but even the cultivators from those Northern Demon Sects have been included on their guest list.

Their intention in organizing this event is rather obvious.

However, it is still uncertain whether the cultivators from those Northern Demon Sects will indeed travel to the Sun Faction to attend the event.

Additionally, Master Luo Jing is acquainted with He Song and has also had dealings with Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

Thus, she is aware that the Sun Faction’s True Inheritance Disciple is in fact He Song’s good friend, Meng Guan.

This is why she immediately brought up the matter to He Song following his emergence from seclusion.

With Meng Guan’s advancement in strength, the Sun Faction is holding a festivity,

and as his good friend, it is expected that He Song would need to attend the ceremony.

After all, He Song is now within the Sun Faction’s area of influence,

and he had also personally visited the Sun Faction’s Sect Gate in earlier years to meet with Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

Thinking thus, it seemed inevitable that He Song would go on receiving the news.

And it was precisely because Master Luo Jing held such thoughts in her mind

that when she spoke of the matter to He Song,

her expression conveyed a glimpse of admiration.

The supportive relationship between He Song, Meng Guan, and Wei Fan, since the Qi Refining stage and continuing through their subsequent Foundation Establishment and up to the present Golden Elixir affairs,

are something she knows in great detail.

Seeing her close acquaintance’s friend achieve such success naturally also brought joy to her heart.
