Chapter 498: Five Years Later
This situation lasted until the Yi Yang Sect was unable to retreat, and the two sides faced off outside the state capital of Yunzhou.
Only then did it ease slightly.
The idea of the Yi Yang Sect wanting to hold onto the Yunzhou state capital was still quite strong.
This is a state capital, if it is occupied by the people of the God-locking Sect, I am afraid that the entire Yunzhou will fall under the control of the God-locking Sect.
At that time, the Yi Yang Sect might only be able to retreat to the Immortal State south of Yunzhou and continue to fend off the Divine Lock Sect's offensive.
However, once Yunzhou was completely lost, the God Locking Sect would naturally not easily retreat after getting a taste of the sweetness.
The next resistance of the Yiyang Sect probably wouldn't be too effective anymore either.
The biggest possibility was that the Yiyang Sect would fight and retreat, and as they retreated, they would realize that there was no way back.
Naturally, it would invite the YuanYing cultivators in the sect to come out, in order to force the God Locking Sect to recall the Heavenly Jade True Lord as an unstable factor.
If not, I was afraid that the Yi Yang Sect would be pushed all the way under the mountain gate.
After receiving the message from True Lord Luo Jing, He Song's mind immediately flashed to the aftermath of this battle.
However, He Song did not know if his thoughts were accurate or not.
After all, he wasn't the headmaster of the Yi Yang Sect either, and even more so, he had already run into the Golden Snake Sect's sphere of influence.
The great war between the Yi Yang Sect and the God Locking Sect actually didn't have much to do with him yet.
Even if the Yi Yang Sect was beaten to the place where the mountain gate was located, it was still not half a threat to He Song.
It was only because Meng Guan and Wei Fan were still in the Yi Yang Sect that He Song was quite concerned about this battle.
By the banks of the Purple River.
In the temporary cave.
He Song put away the letter paper in his hand, and after letting out a long sigh, he soon fell into seclusion once again.
--
Time passes.
The years passed like a shuttle.
In the blink of an eye, He Song spent a full eight years in the temporary cave within the Golden Snake Sect.
During these eight years, He Song's cultivation had not fallen while he continued to study the Dao of Formation, the Dao of Dan, the Dao of Artifacts, the Dao of Runes, as well as practicing spells.
Today's He Song, after eight years of cultivation, the mana in the Jindan, compared to eight years ago, is considered to have grown significantly.
The mana became thicker and thicker, and the mana that could be called upon in the Jindan had also grown a lot.
In the cultivation path from the early to the middle Jindan stage, it was considered a solid step forward.
This big step, although it did not allow He Song's cultivation to successfully break through to the mid-Jindan realm, but it did allow his strength to become a lot stronger.
The distance to the middle Jindan stage was also much closer.
According to He Song's feeling, compared to himself eight years ago, the mana in his Jindan, as well as his own strength, could be said to have made great progress.
The more mana in the Jindan, the more mana one could use when striking, and naturally, the more mana one could use.
The more mana used, the more powerful the spells would naturally be.
In such a situation, after eight years, the mana had grown a lot, and He Song's strength must have become a lot stronger as well.
This was a real increase in He Song's own strength.
The increase in strength brought about by the increase in mana was still quite considerable.
In addition to the increase in mana, He Song's improvement in other aspects should not be underestimated.
During these eight years, He Song kept on comprehending the Spirit Gathering Formation recorded in the Cultivation Edge Formation Collection throughout the day.
Finally, today, he had completely penetrated the complete Spirit Gathering Formation, and was able to start refining the Spirit Gathering Formation's array disk and flag.
Once He Song succeeded in refining the Spirit Gathering Formation's disk and flag, then he would be able to immediately lay down a complete Spirit Gathering Formation, allowing his future cultivation path to become smoother.
It can be said that if there is a complete Spirit Gathering Formation in his body, He Song's future cultivation place will have a much denser concentration of spiritual qi than today.
In such a rich spiritual qi package, He Song's own cultivation speed, naturally, will also usher in an explosive growth.
With the earth elemental dan that He Song had personally refined, as well as the support of the complete Spirit Gathering Formation, He Song's cultivation speed would naturally increase.
He Song's cultivation speed would naturally be much faster than when he was only taking the Earth Elemental Pill and using the Big Dipper Divine Thunder Formation.
As something that could rapidly increase one's cultivation speed, it was naturally no wonder that He Song was not attracted to it.
In these eight years, He Song had expended a great deal of effort in the process of comprehending the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Now, it was finally time to reap the rewards, and He Song's heart was naturally surging.
Good thing.
Previously, when He Song left the Biyue Immortal State, he had made a large purchase in the Huluju State Capital of the Purple Cloud Sect.
During that purchase, He Song had not only purchased a large number of materials for alchemy, talisman making, and weapon refining.
Even the refining materials for array disks and flags needed to set up an array, He Song had bought quite a few of them.
Since he had already known that he would definitely prioritize the Spirit Gathering Formation next.
He Song had naturally purchased the Jindan materials for refining the Spirit Gathering Formation disk and flag in advance.
These materials were now in He Song's storage bag, quietly waiting for He Song to take them out and refine them into formation disks and flags.
Now that He Song had completely penetrated the Spirit Gathering Formation, he only needed to refine the Spirit Gathering Formation's array disk and flag to successfully lay down a complete Spirit Gathering Formation.
There was absolutely no need to leave the gate again and go to the state capital of Purple River State to purchase these things.
Of course.
He Song's previous purchases within the Purple Cloud Sect's Hulu State capital were actually for a reason.
Before going out to avoid the disaster, He Song had already chosen his place of refuge this time.
The place of refuge was in the Golden Snake Sect, which was far away from the Huluju state capital where He Song had previously procured these things.
The reason why He Song purchased these things in the Huluju state capital of the Purple Cloud Sect is mainly because of the distance between the Huluju state capital and the Purple River where he is now.
The Purple River is the territory of the Golden Snake Sect's Purple River State.
The Hulu State Capital was the territory of the Purple Cloud Sect's Hulu State.
These two places, not to say that they were not connected in the slightest, but they belonged to different YuanYing Upper Sect's spheres of influence, so naturally, they wouldn't be connected together in any way.
He Song procured all the things he needed in the state capital of Hulu state and quickly left, rushing to the interior of Zichuan state.
Even if someone did pursue this matter, it was unlikely that anyone would be able to rely on this information to find He Song's trail.
It could be said that after purchasing a large amount of materials in the Hulu State capital, He Song immediately disappeared and could not be traced.
In this way, He Song's own safety was naturally guaranteed.
After completely penetrating the Spirit Gathering Formation, He Song quickly left the quiet room and went to his own refining room, where he began to refine the Spirit Gathering Formation's array disk and array flag.
Refining the Spirit Gathering Formation's array disk and flag was actually not too difficult.
Even if this complete Spirit Gathering Formation was of a high grade and belonged to the category of Jindan Great Formation, as long as an ordinary cultivator was a bit more serious, the failure rate of refining this formation disk and flag was not too high.
Naturally, for He Song, who has long been able to freely refine extremely high-grade magic weapons, it is a piece of cake.
As a refiner who had long been able to freely refine extremely high-grade magic weapons, He Song was still considered to have made some achievements in refining weapons.
Therefore, while refining the array disk and array flag, He Song's mind also flashed through the various gains he had made during these eight years.
In addition to the growth of his own cultivation and strength.
Aside from the growth in his cultivation and strength, he had completely penetrated the Spirit Gathering Formation.
He Song had also refined his other skills.
For example, the dan dao.
On top of the dan dao, He Song had also mastered the method of refining a golden dan spirit dan with the passage of time during these eight years.
That was the Clear Heart Pill that He Song had already thought about long ago and wanted to study.
After taking the Clear Heart Pill, it was able to dissolve the stagnant poison in the cultivator's body, just like the Stasis Removal Pill.
Since the Clear Heart Pill was a golden elixir, it was extremely effective in removing the stagnant poison from the cultivator's body.
Even though He Song had been taking Earth Yuan Dan for years and had a lot of dan poison in his body, he still quickly got rid of a large amount of dan poison with the help of the Clear Heart Dan.
When the large amount of dan poison in his body was dispelled by the Clear Heart Pill, the newly created dan poison was also dispelled by He Song's taking of the Clear Heart Pill when he subsequently took the Earth Origin Pill.
In this way, when He Song's body had been kept in the best state, the dan poison in his body had been unable to stagnate.
He Song's cultivation speed was naturally a level higher than before.
He Song had completely mastered the Clear Heart Pill three years ago.
Since he had purchased the materials for refining the Heart-clearing Dan long ago, He Song had never stopped taking the Heart-clearing Dan during these three years.
At the same time, the frequency with which he took the Earth Origin Pill had also increased dramatically compared to before.
He was already able to refine the Earth Origin Pill, and with the threat of the Pill Poison gone, He Song was naturally able to take the Earth Origin Pill with open arms, allowing his cultivation speed to go to the next level.
With the combination of both the Clear Heart Pill and the Earth Origin Pill, He Song's cultivation speed naturally rose by leaps and bounds.
On top of that, after He Song had completely mastered the Clear Heart Pill three years ago, he had not stopped his study of the dan dao.
However, He Song had focused his study on other elixirs.
For example, elixirs that restored mana.
Jing Qi Dan.
The Quiet Qi Pill, when taken by a cultivator, could quickly restore the mana in the cultivator's body.
It was an elixir commonly used by Jindan cultivators to restore their mana.
In order to prevent losing a battle due to a loss of mana during a duel, which would ultimately lead to the death of the Dao.
Almost all Jindan cultivators would prepare a lot of Quiet Qi Pills in their own storage bags.
Have a large number of static qi dan in hand, in the face of that kind of evenly matched fight, the chance of winning is naturally greater.
It can be said that the circulation of this Jing Qi Dan is not weaker than that of the Earth Yuan Dan, both of which can be exchanged in the hands of other Jindan cultivators for treasures of the Jindan Spirit Dan.
The reason why He Song chose to focus his study on the Jing Qi Dan after completely mastering the Clear Heart Dan.
Naturally, there was also this part of the reason.
But more than that, it was because He Song felt that in case he really encountered such a situation in the future.
He had a lot of Quiet Qi Pills on him, so he might be able to use them to exhaust the other party.
To put it simply, He Song was still focusing on the Quiet Qi Pills for the sake of his own safety.
As for the circulation of the Jing Qi Dan, it still had to be slightly later.
Now, after three years of study, He Song also had some insight into the refining of the Quiet Qi Dan.
Although he had not yet reached the realm of proficiency, he thought that the gap was not far off.
Nowadays, He Song also had quite a few Quiet Qi Pills on him, which he had hidden in his storage bag as a base card.
Once he really encountered the kind of situation he envisioned, these static qi pills were the backbone of He Song's heart.
In addition to his achievements in the Dao of Dan, He Song had also made a considerable breakthrough in the Dao of Runes.
After eight years.
He Song's drawing of various top-grade Foundation Establishment Spirit Symbols had already become completely skillful, but because he didn't have any Golden Dan Spirit Symbol books, he couldn't make an impact on the Golden Dan Spirit Symbols.
At this point, He Song was originally thinking of going directly to the place where the state capital of Zi Chuan Prefecture was located to purchase it.
But did not expect to go to a trip, but found that the state capital of Purple River State Treasure Pavilion, there is no Jindan spirit talisman books for sale.
In this way, He Song had to return to his temporary cave, continue to enlighten the other skills.
As for making talismans, it was also temporarily shelved by He Song, who only occasionally drew some top-grade Foundation Establishment Talismans for sale.
The price of the top-grade Foundation Establishment talisman is quite high, and the demand is also big, which makes He Song earn quite a lot of difference, and earns quite a lot of spirit stones.
Moreover, although He Song temporarily shelved his study of the talisman path, he became more and more familiar with the various top-grade Foundation Establishment talismans that he had mastered, as he continued to draw them.
Along with that, it made He Song's understanding of the talismanic path rise to a higher level.
It was also considered to be a bit of mindlessness.
In addition to this, He Song's study of the Dao of Weapons had not fallen behind during these eight years.
As early as many years ago, He Song's achievement in the Dao of Weapons had already reached the level where he could freely refine extremely high-grade magic weapons.
However, at that time, He Song was always missing something that caused him to remain stuck at this stage.
There was always a barrier to the next stage, to the level of refining a lower-grade spirit weapon.
Originally, He Song thought that this barrier would stop him for a long, long time.
But he didn't expect it.
In these eight years, when He Song attempted to refine a lower-grade spiritual weapon at a certain time, this barrier was like a thin layer of paper, and was pierced by He Song.
The moment the barrier was pierced, He Song's mind immediately flashed through a path of enlightenment.
Spiritual weapon.
The reason why it is called a spiritual weapon.
It is because the spiritual weapon is connected to the cultivator's mind, as if it has a spirit.
When the mind moves, the spiritual weapon protects the body on its own.
Killing intent together, spiritual weapons without wind automatic.
Like an arm, like a shadow.
Although from the essence, the spirit of the spiritual weapon does not have a spirit, there is no spirit or something like the existence of the spirit.
However, when a spiritual weapon is forged, its body will be given a trace of spirituality by the refiner.
The existence or otherwise of this trace of spirituality was one of the reasons for the creation of a spirit weapon.
The reason why He Song had been unsuccessful in his previous attempts to refine spirit weapons was not because the materials he used were too inferior, nor was it because the grade of the artifact cauldron he used was too low.
