Chapter 298: 290: A Generous Gift
“Such an array, ingeniously crafted.”
“According to the records of Array Tao Primary Introduction, this array must not be a Foundation Establishment array, but most likely a Golden Elixir Array.”
“Golden Elixir Array…”
“Could it be that a Golden Elixir Master is in seclusive cultivation here?”
“Or perhaps, a Golden Elixir Master has passed away here?”
“Mr. Lin, you have really left me a great gift.”
“Unfortunately, my knowledge is shallow, and my cultivation is low, so I’m afraid I can’t grasp it for now.”
Looking back in the direction of the valley, He Song felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After realizing that the array in the valley might be a Golden Elixir Array, He Song felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
Although he had been observing for a long time from underground and had been using the Breath Concealment Skill to isolate all of his aura.
But what can he, a Golden Elixir Master, possibly deduce?
At that time, he was only a dozen miles away from the valley. With a sweep of a Golden Elixir Master’s divine sense, he would probably be discovered instantly.
He had only isolated his own aura, making it difficult for people to perceive his existence, not completely disappearing from the world.
A sweep of a Golden Elixir Master’s divine sense would make it difficult for him to remain hidden.
Under such circumstances.
After realizing that the array in the valley was definitely not a Foundation Establishment array described in Array Tao Primary Introduction, but a real Golden Elixir Array.
He Song naturally chose to turn around and leave immediately.
Fearing that the next moment, a Golden Elixir Master would appear in front of him, and then turn him into ashes with a single palm.
Too terrifying!
He had been squatting not far from a Golden Elixir Great Array for so long before.
If there really was a Golden Elixir Master inside.
Seeing him spying on their cave mansion, he would probably die without even knowing how he died.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened during this time, and no one chased him.
He had walked on the edge of life and death.
Despite being hundreds of miles away from the valley, He Song still felt that this place was no longer safe.
What if the Golden Elixir Master in the valley had already locked onto him, but couldn’t get away for the time being, and was planning to hunt him down after getting free?
Now that he was out in the wilderness, he probably didn’t stand a chance to fight back.
With this in mind.
After he had done all this.
He didn’t stop and turned into a tunneling light, heading straight for the entrance of the Thick Earth Sect.
At the same time, a plan for preserving his life in case of being hunted down flashed through He Song’s mind.
There are two Golden Elixir Masters in the Thick Earth Sect.
He would head straight back to the entrance of the Thick Earth Sect and stay there for a while longer.
He would wait until he was sure that no one was waiting for him in the outside world before leaving the entrance of the Thick Earth Sect.
Before that, He Song had used his mana to cleanse himself, ensuring that there would be no tracking marks left on his body.
Under such circumstances, he only needed to stay in the Thick Earth Sect for ten days and a half months at most, and any remaining tracking marks would likely have dissipated with time.
Just like the Seven Fragrance Tracking Skill, after the tracking mark was washed away, it could still leave a different scent for seven days.
He Song simply decided to stay at the entrance of the Thick Earth Sect for a month.
In a month’s time.
According to He Song’s thoughts, even the most stubborn residual mark would have dissipated by then.
After a month, he would return to Heaven Power Immortal City, and naturally, he would no longer be traced.
By then, even if there really was a Golden Elixir Master in the valley, and that Golden Elixir Master had actually targeted him and was planning to hunt him down.
He Song wouldn’t have to worry at all.
There are two Golden Elixir Masters within the entrance of the Thick Earth Sect.
He Song didn’t believe that a stranger Golden Elixir Master could simply break into the entrance of the Thick Earth Sect.
Masters Fa Xuan and Yan Shan weren’t slacking off and doing nothing.
How could they possibly not fight back when someone came knocking on their door?
As long as He Song stayed in the entrance of the Thick Earth Sect for a month, any residual tracking marks on him would dissipate with time.
After a month, whether the stranger Golden Elixir Master could find He Song would still be a question.
After all, He Song had the Breath Concealment Skill and could change his cultivation at any time.
In this way, even in the worst-case scenario, He Song’s life could still be saved.
Of course.
There might not necessarily be a Golden Elixir Master in the valley.
Even if there really was a Golden Elixir Master in seclusive cultivation there, he might not necessarily target He Song and hunt him down.
There is a high probability that He Song’s actions were just a wasted effort.
However, He Song still decided to go ahead with this plan even though he knew this in his heart.
When making decisions, one must always think of the worst possible outcome.
If the worst-case scenario truly happened and he had not prepared for it. In this perilous Cultivation World, it would probably take only a moment to meet death and destruction.
As an everlasting being, He Song didn’t want to risk his life on an adventure.
He should be more cautious.
He planned to make enough preparations before investigating again.
With this thought in mind, He Song constantly reminded himself to be even more cautious.
At the same time, the aqua blue escape light he was in continued to rush towards the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate without stopping.
It seemed as if he were running for his life, with its incredible speed.
Moreover, while speeding towards the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate, He
Song did not forget to take out various elixirs to keep his mana at its best state.
Only by doing so, could he be in the best condition to cope with any crisis he might encounter.
An ancient proverb stated that a tiny error can lead to a huge mistake.
When a real crisis arrives, perhaps just a bit of extra mana could save one from a dangerous situation.
Meanwhile, He Song had already prepared to consume his essence blood to deploy the Blood Escape Skill at any moment.
Truth be told,
Relying on tunneling light alone, He Song had no confidence that he could survive in the hands of a Golden Elixir Master.
Only by consuming his own essence blood to use the Blood Escape Skill could give him a sense of security.
But it was just a tiny bit of security.
Although the speed of the Blood Escape Skill deployed with essence blood was fast, He Song was not sure if it could be faster than a Golden Elixir Master.
Nevertheless, it remained an idea, and He Song was prepared to consume his essence blood to flee at any moment.
He kept moving forward.
He Song hurried tirelessly towards the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate.
It continued like this until several days later.
He Song saw the scenery of the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate before him.
Seeing the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate right in front of him, He Song did not stop at all, and there was no trace of joy on his face.
Instead, he chose to fly directly into it.
It was only after he detected that he had entered the range of the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate, that the vigilant He Song slightly relaxed, a hint of relief flashing across his face.
In the past, he had seen many people who had let their guard down when they were about to escape a crisis, only to end up dead.
Therefore, the closer he was to a safe haven, the more alert He Song became. He would not allow himself to be pulled into an abyss at the last moment before safety.
Others might breathe a sigh of relief when they were about to reach safety,
But not He Song; he would only relax a little when he was completely safe, but he would never let his guard down completely.
For who knew if the apparent safety was just an illusion? “Fortunately, I hope I was just overthinking.”
“This feeling of having a Golden Elixir Master chasing after me is…indescribable.”
“At least I’m finally back in the mountain gate, and I didn’t even have to consume my essence blood.”
“Not bad, not bad.’
Looking back at the entrance of the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate, He Song let out a sigh of relief in his heart, and the heavy stone in his heart also seemed to have been lifted.
As he had anticipated, he had been tense throughout this journey, almost constantly vigilant for any signs of danger.
If there was the slightest hint of something wrong, he would immediately consume his essence blood and use the Blood Escape Skill to run for his life. Now that he was finally back within the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate, his safety had been guaranteed.
He let out a sigh of relief and relaxed his vigilance slightly.
But he didn’t completely relax, still on alert and ready to flee at any moment.
However, just as He Song continued on his way to his cave mansion within the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate, he was quickly stopped by a tunneling light.
It was a Foundation Establishment Master guarding the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate.
He Song didn’t know this Foundation Establishment Master, but as both were Foundation Establishment Masters, He Song bore the Elder Token of the Thick Earth Sect on him.
Thus, after inquiring the reason for He Song’s return, the guarding Master of the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate left.
He Songs Elder Token,
along with his mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level, had already proven his identity.
This inquiry was just a routine questioning.
Although mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Thick Earth Sect usually guarded the Immortal City, their duty was limited to guarding the City without restricting their mobility.
They could return to the mountain gate when needed, as long as the City’s management was not affected.
This applied to both Immortal City and Immortal Pavilion guards.
However, as there was only one Immortal Pavilion guard, leaving would leave the Pavilion empty, so they would rarely do so.
But Immortal City guards had it easier.
With four guards for an Immortal City, one less person would not be a major problem, as long as it didn’t hinder any tasks, they could return to the mountain without being questioned.
Just like He Song at the moment.
At this point, he had not yet reported to Wei Fan and his other colleagues, and simply returned directly to the mountain gate of the Thick Earth Sect.
After dismissing the Foundation Establishment Master who had come for a routine inquiry, He Song quickly arrived at his cave mansion within the mountain gate of the Thick Earth Sect.
Standing outside the cave mansion, He Song looked at Meng Guan and Wei Fan’s cave mansions on each side and hesitated for a moment, before walking into his own.
He started deploying Array Skills.
Sitting in the cave mansion, He Song stared pensively at the sky outside the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate..
