After all.
The war was still going on.
The two YuanYing Upper Sects, the YiYang Sect and the God Locking Sect, could still be still sending cultivators from their sects to the battlefield.
Under such circumstances.
Who knew what else would happen behind them?
In case there was a sharp turn of events, wouldn't He Song, who had ventured back to Biyue Immortal State, immediately become passive in his situation?
Don't be afraid that when the God Locking Sect comes back to the city, He Song will have to stage a scene where he slips away once again.
In that case, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Therefore, even though he knew that the battle between the One-Yang Sect and the God-locking Sect had begun to enter a stalemate.
Even though he knew that the battle between the One-Yang Sect and the God Locking Sect had begun to enter a stalemate, and that the One-Yang Sect had a slight advantage, and that they were currently heading towards the capital of Yunzhou, He Song did not think of returning to the Bi Yue Immortal State immediately.
The location of Biyue Immortal State was too awkward.
It was indeed too close to the battlefield.
In this way, after learning about this matter, He Song ultimately chose to remain in seclusion until now.
Eight years had passed.
The latest news He Song received was sent by Meng Guan.
In the latest letter, Meng Guan informed He Song that the One Sun Sect had already prepared to attack the state capital of Yunzhou in the near future.
He Song, who had long known that the war between the One Sun Sect and the God Locking Sect had fallen into a state of stalemate, with the tug-of-war in each Immortal City becoming protracted, did not have much fluctuation in his heart.
In his heart, however, there wasn't much fluctuation.
This news, for He Song, was not a surprise.
Based on the news that had continuously reached him from the outside world over the past eight years, He Song also had more than enough understanding of the war.
With his understanding of the battlefield today, this progress was quite normal.
Nowadays, the Yi Yang Sect had a slight advantage after all, and had relied on a great deal of time on top of the battlefield to take back an Immortal City from the hands of the God-locking Sect.
After taking several years, the Yi Yang Sect had fought beyond the Yunzhou state capital and was preparing to attack it in the near future, which naturally did not surprise He Song.
However, He Song didn't have an accurate figure in his mind as to who would win and who would lose this battle.
After all, although the Yiyang Sect had some slight advantages, but the advantages of this kind of thing, in the case of not overwhelming advantage, is still a little elusive.
A command error, a battle that was overturned, a cultivator who was accidentally killed.
All of these, were extremely likely to make this slight advantage instantly turn into a disadvantage.
And on top of the battlefield, such subtle changes were also extremely likely to occur.
Naturally, He Song could not say anything about the outcome of this battle.
However, since Meng Guan and Wei Fan both needed to participate in this battle, He Song could only write back and tell them to be more careful.
Other than that, He Song could not do anything else.
Just as He Song flashed these in his mind and subconsciously refined the formation disk and flag of the Spirit Gathering Formation.
During the process of subconsciously refining the array disk and array flag, a brand new array disk, along with several array flags, had already come out perfectly.
When the freshly baked array disk and array flags quietly landed in He Song's hands, He Song's eyes swept over, and a trace of satisfaction immediately flashed across his face.
Although at the time of refining the array disk and the array flag, his mind flashed with thoughts and he did not care about the refining of the array disk and the array flag at all.
However, relying on his refining techniques that were already capable of refining lower-grade Spiritual Weapons, he was able to perfectly refine the array disk and array flag needed to set up the Spirit Gathering Array.
After successfully refining the array panels and flags needed to set up the Spirit Gathering Array, He Song casually put them into the storage device.
He Song casually placed them into his storage bag, then left the refining room and arrived at the very center of the cave.
Raising his head.
His eyes swept over the cave that was in the shape of an inverted bowl in front of him.
He Song pinched the spell, a stream of light immediately flew out from his hands, and quickly landed in all parts of the cave.
When this stream of light have not into the ground, and in He Song's continue to strangle the spell, quickly began to work.
The concentration of spiritual qi in the cave also began to slowly increase at this moment.
As a complete Spirit Gathering Formation, the Spirit Gathering Formation that He Song had just laid down was much more powerful than the Big Dipper Divine Thunder Formation.
This was something that He Song had known for a long time.
However, He Song did not remove the Big Dipper Thunderbolt Formation after setting up the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Even though the speed at which the Spirit Gathering Formation gathered spiritual qi, as well as the concentration of spiritual qi within the Spirit Gathering Formation, were both a lot more powerful than the Big Dipper Thunder Formation.
However, the Big Dipper Divine Thunder Formation had the ability to conceal, attack, and defend in addition to spirit gathering.
The fusion of so many functions together made the Big Dipper Divine Thunder Formation weaker in every function, though.
However, all of these functions worked in every way.
The amount of spirit stones spent was also calculated to be much less than other Jindan formations.
This place was He Song's temporary cave, not a permanent cave.
Therefore, there was no need to have too much defensive and offensive capabilities, and even the concealment effect of the Big Dipper Divine Thunder Formation was enough to support it.
Under such circumstances, He Song naturally did not need to remove the Big Dipper Thunder Formation and lay down other Jindan formations outside the cave.
That would be too costly in terms of spirit stones.
A single Big Dipper Divine Thunder Formation consumed hundreds of medium grade spirit stones every year.
If He Song removed the Heavenly Dipper Thunder Formation, then set up the Mirage Misty Trail Formation, the Earth Hidden Divine Light Formation, and one more Jindan Attack Formation outside the cave.
These several Jindan formations together, I'm afraid that the spirit stones consumed each year would have to be one or two thousand.
If the seclusion time was longer, even if it was only for ten years, I'm afraid there would be a consumption of tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Although today's He Song no longer lacked spirit stones.
However, something like arranging several Jindan formations outside of his temporary cave residence was still a bit too extravagant.
In this case, it would be better to take the Big Dipper Lightning Formation to cover for a while, anyway, in this temporary cave, He Song will not leave this place, and there is no need to worry about the Big Dipper Lightning Formation's function is not enough to use the problem.
At most, when someone attacked, he would set up the other Jindan formations that he had acquired.
With the Big Dipper Divine Thunder Formation to cover the first wave of attack, He Song would naturally be able to set up one of the formations he had acquired.
At that time, the effect was actually the same.
Moreover, there was no more of the usual terrifying consumption of spirit stones.
After successfully placing a complete Spirit Gathering Formation in his temporary cave, He Song felt the gradually rising concentration of Spirit Qi within the cave and was quite satisfied in his heart.
Plus, he had already stayed here for eight long years.
The soil in the cave had long been transformed into spiritual soil by the rich spiritual qi, and He Song had planted quite a few spiritual medicines.
Now that a large number of spiritual medicines were growing in the cave, they seemed to have become more and more lush.
The increase in the concentration of spiritual qi seemed to have caused the growth rate of these spiritual medicines to increase a bit as well.
Seeing such a scene, although he didn't know if these changes were his own illusion or not.
However, He Song's heart quickly moved.
Since these spiritual medicines might have their growth speed become a little faster when the concentration of spiritual qi increased.
Then, the Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit Tree that had been placed in his storage bag, under the nourishment of such a rich spiritual qi, would its fruits grow faster and quicker?
As such a thought flashed through his mind, He Song's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although he wasn't sure if this was really just his own illusion or if it was indeed true.
However, nowadays, he shouldn't return to the Bi Yue Immortal State for the time being.
By planting the Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit Tree here, he would be able to make the Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit Tree grow somewhat.
As for whether or not this growth would become faster, He Song didn't care too much.
If it's faster, it won't be faster anyway.
This Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit is ripe once every hundred years, and it is still early for it to mature.
With this thought, He Song quickly waved his hand gently and took out the Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit Tree from his storage bag.
The huge Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit Tree was soon planted by He Song at the very center of the cave.
Here, the Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit Tree enjoyed the light from the Blazing Sun Pearl, as well as the rich spiritual qi brought by the Spirit Gathering Formation, and its branches and leaves quickly stretched out.
When the Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit Tree was planted, He Song pondered a little, but in the end, he did not take out the giant cauldron for refining the Intrinsic Magic Treasure.
The giant cauldron contained the materials for refining the Intrinsic Magic Treasure, but nowadays, He Song had yet to gather all the materials.
Therefore, in this temporary cave, there was still no need to take it out.
Waiting until later, when He Song had gathered all the materials for refining the original life magic treasure, then it would not be too late to take it out.
With this thought in his mind, He Song quickly turned around and returned to the quiet room.
Nowadays.
Since the Spirit Gathering Formation had already been laid.
Even the Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit Tree had been successfully planted.
The great battle between the Yi Yang Sect and the God-locking Sect could not reach He Song's place.
He Song didn't need to worry about his own safety either.
Then, naturally, the next step was to continue his seclusion, allowing his cultivation to become even stronger under the support of the Spirit Gathering Formation, Earth Spirit Pill, and Heart Cleansing Pill.
In short, after laying the Spirit Gathering Formation and planting the Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit Tree, He Song once again entered a state of seclusion.
However.
Although He Song had once again entered a state of seclusion, news from the outside world came from afar in a steady stream.
Soon, He Song learned from Meng Guan's mouth that this time, the attack of the One Sun Sect on the Yunzhou state capital had been thwarted.
Within the Yunzhou state capital.
There were many cultivators of the God Locking Sect, and there seemed to be some new faces among them.
With the enemy suddenly becoming a bit stronger, the attack launched by the Yiyang Sect naturally could only return without success.
Fortunately, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, cultivators' individual combat strength was extremely strong, so both sides didn't have many casualties, and could only be described as a fierce battle for a long time before each side retreated.
However, after this battle, the war between the Yi Yang Sect and the God Locking Sect was once again in a stalemate.
Both sides had about the same number of Jindan True Lords.
Even the number of Foundation Establishment True Lords was similar.
Both sides had recalled quite a few late Foundation Establishment or Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivators who were traveling outside.
Some of the Jindan cultivators who had been out searching for opportunities all year round were also recalled one after another to participate in the battle.
However, as the number of people participating in the battle began to increase, the casualties on both sides were fewer and fewer.
There was not much difference in the number of people.
And their respective strengths weren't weak either.
Even early Jindan cultivators like Meng Guan and Wei Fan were no longer in much danger of falling.
Everything, it was as if it had become step-by-step, and the killing opportunities between the two sides seemed to have quietly hidden themselves.
He Song did not know whether this situation was good or bad.
Nor did he know what this battle between the two sides would actually turn into.
However, he also reminded Meng Guan that perhaps this was the calm before the storm.
After Meng Guan received He Song's message, the caution in his heart was once again raised.
His mind, which had been slightly lax, soon became vigilant once again.
He Song, on the other hand, quickly received a letter from True Lord Luo Jing.
In the letter, True Lord Luo Jing began to worry about True Lord Zi Shirt's safety once again.
This time was different from the past.
In the past, it was the God Locking Sect that wanted to take down the Yunzhou state capital, and she was worried about True Lord Zishuang's safety because once the Yunzhou state capital fell into the hands of the God Locking Sect.
It was actually very likely that True Lord Violet Shirt, who served as the head of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion's main pavilion in the Cloud Prefecture state capital, would be liquidated by the God Locking Cult's people.
Although what followed was not the case, and the God-locking Sect did not liquidate the Purple-shirted True Lord.
However, today, the situation was different.
Now that the Yiyang Sect wanted to take down the Yunzhou state capital, she was worried that the God Locking Sect would force True Lord Purple Shirt to participate in this battle and help the God Locking Sect defend the Yunzhou state capital.
In that case, if the Violet Shirt True Lord really couldn't carry the pressure and chose to help the God Locking Church.
Then once the One Sun Sect subsequently captured the Yunzhou state capital.
The Purple Shirt True Monarch who had previously helped the God Locking Sect might actually be liquidated.
Or perhaps, the Purple Shirt True Monarch would rather die than follow, unwilling to help the God Locking Sect.
Thus, he would be liquidated by the people of the God-locking Sect who were still occupying the capital of Yunzhou.
Both of these scenarios were not what she wanted to see.
This was also the reason why she was once again worried about the safety of the Purple Shirt True Lord.
In response, after He Song thought about it a little, for a moment, he actually felt that True Lord Luo Jing's worries were not unreasonable.
If he was the commander of the Locked God Sect's war this time, he would have chosen to prioritize clearing the uncertainties in the Yunzhou Prefecture when defending it.
And True Lord Purple Shirt happened to be one of those uncertainties.
According to He Song's thoughts, the Purple Shirt True Monarch would either be expelled from the Cloud Prefecture Prefecture, or forced to help the God Locking Sect defend the Cloud Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture.
Other than that, there was no third way out.
Concerns like True Lord Luo Jing's were indeed not unreasonable at first glance.
However, when He Song looked back and thought about it again, He Song felt that True Lord Luo Jing was being concerned.
What kind of person was True Lord Purple Shirt?
Gathering Treasure Pavilion Yunzhou Main Pavilion's Pavilion Master.
The disciple of a YuanYing Ancestor.
How could such a person be forced into this situation?
Even if he was only slightly aware of his identity, I'm afraid that he would only be offered to people within the Cloud Prefecture state capital.
Regardless of whether it was the Yi Yang Sect or the God Locking Sect, they would not touch even a hair on his head.
After all, messing with the Purple Shirt True Lord would be the same as saying that he had incurred a huge and incomparable power for himself, as well as the sect behind him.
The Gathering Treasure Pavilion was not some small Jindan sect.
Among them, there was only one YuanYing Ancestor that He Song clearly knew about.
And how many YuanYing Ancestors would there be that were not known by He Song?
After all, given that the Gathering Treasure Pavilion had sub-pavilions and main pavilions in every Immortal City and every state capital, it was impossible for the Gathering Treasure Pavilion to have only the Luo Jing True Monarch and the Purple Shirt True Monarch in its lineage. (End of chapter)
