Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation C.325: 317: Great Array Disperses

One hundred years, or even more than one hundred years.

Since He Song had come to this world and started his cultivation journey as a minor Qi Refining Early Stage cultivator, it had only been just over a hundred years for him to reach the current Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

If someone claimed that a Golden Elixir Master would go into seclusive cultivation for a hundred years, or even more than a hundred years, He Song would absolutely not believe it.

After all, the lifespan of a Golden Elixir Master is only five hundred years.

When one’s cultivation advances from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Elixir Realm, their lifespan increases from two hundred years to five hundred years.

With a lifespan of five hundred years, would one spend a century in seclusive cultivation each time?

After a few seclusive cultivation sessions, one might simply exhaust their five hundred years of lifespan.

It should be known that,

when a Foundation Establishment cultivator breaks through to the Golden Elixir Realm, their age might already be over a hundred, or even more than two hundred years old.

In such a case, even if they successfully break into the Golden Elixir Realm and extend their lifespan to five hundred years,

they still have to deduct the lifespan they have spent before, to get the remaining lifespan.

For instance, if a person breaks through to the Golden Elixir Realm at exactly two hundred years old and gains a lifespan of five hundred years, they could live for another three hundred years.

It doesn’t mean they can start anew and live for five hundred years after breaking through the Golden Elixir Realm.

The same principle applies when one breaks through from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The highest success rate of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage from the Qi Refining stage is before the age of sixty.

After sixty years old, the success rate declines year by year.

And if one breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of sixty, with a lifespan of two hundred years, they would have one hundred and forty years of remaining lifespan.

Within one hundred and forty years, if the bottleneck issue is not considered, it is highly probable that one can cultivate from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

At the same time, those with good fortune can make great progress in advance and use this time to find various opportunities.

Either to enhance their own strength or to prepare for subsequent Elixir Establishment.

However,

if one attempts to break through from Foundation Establishment Great Perfection to the Golden Elixir Realm when their cultivation reaches Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and their lifespan is approaching two hundred, or even three hundred years old,

the time this cultivator can stay in the Golden Elixir Realm will naturally be greatly reduced.

If one has a lifespan of five hundred years in the Golden Elixir Realm and only successfully steps into the realm when approaching two hundred years old, they will only have three hundred years left.

If one steps into the Golden Elixir Realm when approaching three hundred years old, there will only be two hundred years left.

Although there are longevity elixirs to take after the Golden Elixir stage, the disparity in their lifespan at that point will be significant compared to other cultivators who had broken through to the Golden Elixir stage much earlier.

Three hundred years.

Or two hundred years.

Can they cultivate from the Golden Elixir Early Stage to the Golden Elixir Great Perfection?

He Song doesn’t know the answer to this question.

However, according to his speculation, even if they could reach that stage, they might not be able to continue pursuing the Nascent Soul Realm after achieving Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

And for cultivators with higher talents, the time required to break through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Elixir stage will be greatly reduced.

Perhaps, they could successfully break through to the Golden Elixir stage at just over a hundred years old.

Being a Golden Elixir cultivator at just over a hundred years old,

they will have an even higher probability of advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm as compared to those who step into the Golden Elixir stage at two hundred, or even over two hundred years old.

Because they relatively have more time on their side.

And it is precisely because of this that the vast majority of cultivators cannot advance from the Golden Elixir stage to the Nascent Soul stage before their lifespans run out.

At the same time, it is also because of this that the longing for the lifespan of cultivators runs so deep.

Lifespan.

It’s always the deepest desire in a cultivator’s heart.

And this is the very reason why He Song doesn’t believe that a Golden Elixir cultivator would spend a hundred years, or even more than a hundred years in seclusive cultivation each time.

Moreover, He Song also noticed

that in some of the medicine gardens, spirit medicines that should have been harvested in ten or several decades had been growing for more than a hundred years.

If it were He Song, even if he were in deep seclusion, he would still project his divine sense from the cave mansion to harvest the spirit medicines that were ready for harvest instead of letting them continue to grow.

After all, despite the fact that the older the spirit medicine, the better the effect.

Some spirit medicines are actually only needed for refining some specific elixirs, and the selling price of older spirit medicines will not be much higher.

Instead of leaving them to grow, it’s better to harvest them and plant them again. With the control of divine sense, it won’t take much effort.

Since this is the case,

the speculation that this place was uninhabited had naturally taken root in He Song’s mind.

It was precisely because he saw these signs, and inferred from his heart that this place might be uninhabited, that He Song directly deployed the Smoke Array, as well as two other Array Skills.

Otherwise, if he had just glanced over and didn’t see this information, He Song would probably have run away immediately.

He wouldn’t have stayed here, let alone set up several array formations in this area.

After setting up the array formations outside the valley, He Song hid within the arrays and began to wait quietly.

As time passed, the Golden Elixir Array inside the valley became increasingly disordered.

The ripples He Song had seen earlier began to appear more frequently, allowing him to have a clearer understanding of the situation behind the array formation in the valley.

The two Golden Armor Guards remained guarding the entrance to the cave mansion.

And the spirit rice and spirit medicines planted in the spirit fields and medicine gardens were still growing.

Such a scene appeared for a long, long time.

Until finally.

The Golden Elixir Array that covered the entire valley completely dissipated due to the scarcity of spirit stones, and the whole valley finally revealed its true face to He Song.

When He Song, who was hiding in the Smoke Array, saw the Golden Elixir

Array within the valley silently dissipate, he also heaved a sigh of relief at this moment.

The time it took for the Golden Elixir Array to dissipate was about what he had expected.

From the first appearance of chaos to its complete disappearance now, there was a long buffer time in between.

Until today, the Golden Elixir Array finally dissipated.

Meanwhile, while waiting for the Golden Elixir Array to dissipate, He Song had come up with a preliminary solution to the two Golden Armor Guards inside the valley.

The combat strength of the Golden Armor Guards was unknown.

But their location was precisely at the entrance of the cave mansion.

If they were not dealt with, He Song would not be able to enter the cave mansion and obtain the opportunities within.

Therefore, He Song must deal with them in order to get the things inside the cave mansion.

No matter what method he used.

After thinking of this, He Song’s first idea was to send out his spirit puppets to probe the strength of the two Golden Armor Guards before discussing the follow-up.

Without knowing the specific combat power of these two Golden Armor Guards.

It is pointless to think too much.

If the strength of these two Golden Armor Guards was comparable to the Golden Elixir realm, He Song would probably turn around and leave without the slightest hesitation.

Two puppets with combat strength comparable to the Golden Elixir realm were not something He Song could currently compete with.

If he could bring all the people from the Thick Earth Sect over, there might still be a chance to fight.

However, if he were to do so, the opportunity inside would probably have nothing to do with him.

Faced with such an opportunity that would only stay in one place and not run away, He Song would absolutely not inform others.

He would rather wait until he was strong enough to open it himself, rather than give up the hard-won opportunity he’d found to others.

What’s more.

This opportunity was informed to him by Lin Cong before his death.

It was a dying friend’s trust.

He absolutely could not give it away.

Gazing in the direction where the descendants of Lin Cong were, He Song made a silent decision in his heart.

In the future, if there was really a good seedling with a spirit root among Lin Cong’s descendants, he should also help them out.

The chances here, Lin Cong was able to inform him before his death, can be regarded as a great kindness.

If he obtained extremely valuable items from it, how could he ignore Lin Cong’s contribution?

If it weren’t for Lin Cong, the opportunity here would probably have nothing to do with him.

Even if the opportunity is born, it would belong to the Thick Earth Sect.

He, as a loose cultivator in the Base Building stage, would have nothing to do with it.

After such thoughts flashed through his mind, He Song withdrew his gaze and waved his hand gently.

Immediately.

Four spirit puppets appeared in front of He Song.

Qing Feng, Mingyue, Xianyun, and Ye He.

The four great spirit puppets under He Song’s command now have individual combat strength that can compete with mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, according to He Song’s guess, this level of strength should be insufficient against the two Golden Armor Guards not far away.

But he thought that it should be enough to probe the strength of the two Golden Armor Guards.

With one thought.

The Four Great Spirit Puppets in front of He Song suddenly left the Smoke Array and rushed into the valley.

But at this moment, He Song’s figure was fully operating the Purple Sky Meditation Skill, Dust Conversion Table, and Breath Concealment Skill, trying to minimize his presence.

He Song, who was naturally cautious, felt that there must be no one in this place.

However, when he was about to take action, he subconsciously wanted to perfectly protect himself, so as not to capsize in the gutter.

Under such circumstances, He Song’s instinct was to hide himself and watch the outside situation with his eyes only.

The Four Great Spirit Puppets did not need He Song to control them personally.

After he set tasks for the Four Great Spirit Puppets to do next, they would follow He Song’s will, and meticulously complete the instructions he had given.

The command He Song gave to the Four Great Spirit Puppets was not to enter the valley and provoke the two Golden Armor Guards.

Instead, it was to enter the valley and harvest the spirit rice and spirit medicine.

If a fight really broke out, the spirit rice and spirit medicine in the valley might be destroyed due to the fighting.

All these spirit rice and spirit medicine were now considered He Song’s belongings.

How could he possibly let them be destroyed in the upcoming battle?

Spirit medicine, they were all over a hundred years old, and there were quite a few precious ones too. There were some that He Song did not even recognize, but they must be valuable.

Spirit rice, planted by the Golden Elixir Master, and it had been planted for over a hundred years, the value of these spirit rice could naturally be imagined.

For such precious things, it’s important to secure them first.

It’s precisely because of this.

When He Song gave instructions to the Four Great Spirit Puppets, he directly ordered them to go from different places, with the first task being to harvest the spirit rice and spirit medicine in the valley.

As long as all the spirit rice and spirit medicine in the valley were harvested, the mission would be considered a success..
