Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation - Chapter 657
Chapter 657: Chapter 530 Great Gains_2
He wished that those who came after him to this place would be the descendants of the Wind Snow Palace.
So that the remnants he left behind after his death would not be tainted by others.
However, it seemed that the stroke of luck Fallen Snow True Monarch had acquired was completely exhausted as he successfully broke through to the Golden Core Realm.
In the subsequent cultivation process within the Golden Core Realm, Fallen Snow True Monarch faced numerous hardships. Only when his lifespan was about to end did he, with great difficulty, advance to the state of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
And after that,
he left behind all his possessions and came to this place in an attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
He Song was, of course, well aware of what followed.
Fallen Snow True Monarch’s attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul ended in failure, resulting in his death and the dissipation of his path.
Since he attempted the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm as his lifespan was nearing its end, almost all his belongings were left in the Wind Snow Palace.
Perhaps, even to this day,
the spirit artifacts and other treasures that Fallen Snow True Monarch once left behind still exist within the Wind Snow Palace.
But for He Song, the existence of these treasures was not something he could tamper with.
Though the entire fortune of a Nascent Soul Grand Perfection Cultivator was tremendously tempting to He Song,
having an understanding of such Golden Elixir forces, he no longer harbored any thoughts about it.
He vividly remembered the scene when Master Xuan Ying extorted those Golden Elixir forces under the Sun Faction.
He Song didn’t possess the strength to suppress each of the Golden Elixir forces completely and had to request the assistance of elders from the Sun Faction to reach a peaceful agreement with Master Xuan Ying.
Even then, after extorting them several times, Master Xuan Ying disappeared without a trace.
To this day, He Song had not heard Master Xuan Ying’s name mentioned anywhere.
It’s evident what the consequences of reaching for the Golden Elixir forces under a Nascent Soul Upper Sect could entail.
In light of this,
The matter naturally came to an end.
Since Fallen Snow True Monarch came here to try breaking into the Nascent Soul Realm but died in the attempt,
whatever he left behind naturally became He Song’s property.
As for turning these items over to the Wind Snow Palace… He Song never once considered this.
These items were connected to He Song’s fate; how could he simply hand them over to others?
About Fallen Snow True Monarch’s skeleton,
After some hesitation, He Song ultimately waved his hand gently and collected the bones into his storage bag.
Golden Elixir Skeleton.
It could be used for puppet making.
Although He Song had yet to find the method to create a Gold Core Puppet,
he also didn’t know how much power could be retained after successfully crafting it into a puppet.
But surely, considering Fallen Snow True Monarch’s cultivation level at Golden Elixir Great Perfection during his lifetime,
as long as it was crafted into a puppet, the puppet’s strength would at least be within the Golden Core Realm.
If luck was on his side and he used more precious materials, perhaps it could even bring He Song some surprises.
Why would He Song forsake such an opportunity to enhance his own strength?
This skeleton was the third Golden Elixir Skeleton He Song encountered in his cultivation journey.
The first was naturally the skeleton of Master Yin Yue.
He Song did not keep and make Master Yin Yue’s skeleton into a puppet previously,
mainly because he worried that there might be some traps left within Master Yin Yue’s skeleton due to his weak strength at that time.
Therefore, he chose to destroy it by wielding the Divine Thunder Array directly,
thus completely eliminating the possibility of Master Yin Yue’s traps harming him.
The second was Master Xing Yan’s skeleton.
The reason why He Song did not take Master Xing Yan’s skeleton was that the cave mansion was discovered by Meng Guan and Wei Fan.
If he took the skeleton, Meng Guan and Wei Fan might instantly become aware of something.
For He Song, who was prepared to hide his true cultivation at that time, this was not feasible.
Thus, he left it in its original place for Meng Guan and Wei Fan to deal with.
As for the third corpse, it naturally belonged to the skeleton of True Monarch Fallen Snow.
By now, many years had passed since the death of True Monarch Fallen Snow, and He Song’s strength had long since transformed.
He Song, who had reached the Golden Core Realm, was not concerned that any trap laid by True Monarch Fallen Snow could harm him.
Moreover, since he himself had discovered this place and there were no other witnesses,
he naturally did not need to hand over the opportunity to anyone else.
Under such circumstances, the methods He Song used to deal with the Golden Elixir Skeleton naturally changed as well.
After bidding the skeleton of True Monarch Fallen Snow into his storage bag, He Song then went to other parts of the cave mansion.
Unfortunately,
He Song only found some materials for elixir and artifacts refining in several palaces near the tower.
These items were of good quality, presumably left by True Monarch Fallen Snow before his death to relieve his own boredom.
But for He Song, although these items had some value, their worth was not considered too high.
At least, compared to the skeleton of True Monarch Fallen Snow, the Golden Elixir, as well as the Water Spirit Essence and Treasure Tree Heart inside the storage bag, they were indeed not that valuable.
However, it was better than nothing.
He Song was not picky, and he swept all these items clean, taking them all into his own storage bag.
Beyond that, He Song also went to inspect the Medicine Garden Spirit Field outside the cave mansion.
But due to the spirit Qi dissipating for too long, the spirit medicine and spirit rice in the Medicine Garden Spirit Field had all completely withered, and there was no value in picking them anymore.
With this, He Song could only leave with regret.
After turning the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion upside down and confirming that there were no other opportunities within,
He Song’s gaze then turned to the most conspicuous item inside this cave mansion.
The Water-Repelling Bead.
Due to its water-repelling properties, the Water-Repelling Bead was generally placed high up to cover a larger area and make the cave mansion space appear more spacious.
Therefore, it was quite normal for the Water-Repelling Bead to be stored inside the tower at the very center of the cave mansion.
For He Song, this Water-Repelling Bead was the last opportunity within this Golden Elixir Cave Mansion.
At least, after acquiring the Water-Repelling Bead, if He Song ever had to engage in underwater combat with someone, possessing the Water-Repelling Bead would also give him a certain advantage.
While this advantage was not significant, it was quite pronounced in a situation where others lacked what he possessed.
In the region around the Purple Cloud Sect, He Song had never seen anyone with a Water-Repelling Bead.
Coming to the base of the tower,
He Song casually beckoned.
A surge of mana immediately lifted the Water-Repelling Bead from inside the tower and brought it before He Song.
The Water-Repelling Bead, entirely blue in color, was like a small glass ball.
It did not need mana to be channeled into it; it simply relied on continuously absorbing the spirit Qi from the surroundings to operate nonstop and repel the water outside.
Now that the Water-Repelling Bead was removed by He Song from the tower, the eternal bubbles outside the cave mansion suddenly underwent a change.
The turbulent water flow in the underground current sank rapidly until the effect of the Water-Repelling Bead was displayed again, and it was forced to continue forward.
Witnessing this miraculous scene, He Song’s gaze swept around.
Seeing that this place no longer held any significance, a thought arose in his heart.
He put the Water-Repelling Bead into his storage bag.
He Song’s figure also disappeared from the spot.
However, as the Water-Repelling Bead vanished, the enormous bubble that existed due to its presence also abruptly collapsed at that moment.
The turbulent water flow in the underground current surged from all directions toward this spot, instantly submerging the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion under the water.
A torrent of water rushed in, causing the previously unguarded and array-lacking Golden Elixir Cave Mansion to suffer relentless erosion from the water.
Outside the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion,
He Song, who had already left, also dismantled the Divine Thunder Array he had previously set up after the disturbances in the area had subsided.
The matter here was finished.
Next, it was time for him to find a secluded place for cultivation, to achieve a breakthrough to the Golden Core Middle Stage successfully.
Long before his last retreat, during his trip to Zichuan Prefecture Government, He Song’s cultivation had already been approaching a bottleneck.
Now that He Song had left Zichuan Prefecture Government and even come to the area under the Purple Cloud Sect’s influence, within the b
