Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 363: 355: Fierce Battle

As He Song continued to manipulate the White Jade Boat, his figure arrived at the place where he initially built the secret Immortal Pavilion.

This place was a stone mountain, carefully chosen by He Song just like the Pure Yin Sect, surrounded by mountains and forests, with a quiet and peaceful environment.

Usually, there are almost no cultivators passing by, and no one is interested in such a desolate place.

However, the place used to be a beautiful landscape back then.

When He Song came here today, he was shocked by the scene before him for a moment.

When He Song reached the sky above this place.

He saw the stone mountain that he had initially built his secret cave mansion had turned into a huge deep pit.

Surrounding the deep pit.

There were traces left by battle after battle.

He Song even saw piles of white bones and fragments of broken Artifacts around the deep pit.

Looking over the tragic scene before him, He Song’s face darkened.

The scene in front of him confirmed his suspicion that the secret cave mansion he had built here had long been discovered.

Moreover, the resources stored inside were most likely looted clean.

It was this that caused He Song to be unable to detect the tracking mark he had left when he cast the Seven Fragrance Tracking Skill.

It was likely that the cave mansion had been emptied long ago.

Looking at the tragic scene before him.

This place had experienced a great battle.

Perhaps the person who first discovered his secret cave mansion leaked the news.

Or perhaps more than one person discovered his secret cave mansion.

In any case, a great battle must have happened at the location of his secret cave mansion.

The battle was intense, and the fighting between cultivators turned the entire stone mountain into a huge deep pit.

The traces of battle scattered all around the deep pit, along with the piles of white bones around, all indicated that the battle was exceptionally fierce.

He Song could perceive the number of cultivators who had fought here simply by glancing at the surrounding environment.

After counting the number of white bones around the deep pit, He Song quickly came to a conclusion.

Here.

At least dozens of cultivators were attracted to this place initially, fighting around the stone mountain.

When the battle was over, the corpses of the dead cultivators were left unattended, turning into piles of white bones and scattering around the stone mountain.

Forming the scene He Song saw now.

After counting the white bones, and finding that there were more than a dozen, He Song reached a conclusion.

These dozen white bones were what his naked eyes could see.

There was no telling how many more were buried under the rocks and soil.

The conclusion that at least dozens of cultivators had fought here was naturally derived from this.

But.

After carefully observing the area, He Song discovered that the cultivators involved in these battles were not very skilled.

At least, He Song didn’t see any traces of Foundation Establishment Masters taking action.

In other words, He Song’s secret cave mansion did not attract Foundation Establishment Masters but only attracted a group of Qi Refining cultivators.

He Song found this to be normal.

Several decades ago.

He Song had just broken through to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment and started from the Herbs Immortal Workshop, opening a secret cave mansion in this place.

Given He Song’s Foundation Establishment Realm’s cultivation level back then, the value of the items he carried naturally wouldn’t be too high.

Moreover, since He Song had built five secret cave mansions in total, he did not leave much in each one.

On average, there should be no more than five thousand spirit stones in each secret cave mansion.

With such a value, it was impossible to attract a Foundation Establishment Master.

Something worth less than five thousand spirit stones.

Although it could be called great fortune for a Qi Refining cultivator.

But for a Foundation Establishment Master, only a few people would appreciate such an amount.

Attracting dozens of Qi Refining cultivators to fight here was already beyond He Song’s expectation.

You must know that.

Back then, he had specifically chosen a remote place and built a secret cave mansion there to avoid being discovered.

However, now, decades later, when He Song stood here once again.

He found that the remote place he had carefully chosen had completely changed.

With a hint of doubt, He Song stepped forward to examine the deep pit carefully.

The pit was deep, but the deeper it went, the narrower it got.

He Song had been cautious when he built this secret cave mansion back then, digging a kilometer beneath the stone mountain.

And in the passage leading to his secret cave mansion, He Song had made elaborate preparations.

This passage was only wide enough for one person to enter, and if another person tried to enter, they had to follow one after another.

Perhaps, it was for this reason that the depths of the pit were becoming narrower and narrower now.

To enter He Song’s secret cave mansion,

One would have to win the final victory in the battle, then enter the depths of the deep pit alone to reach He Song’s secret cave mansion and gain a chance at good fortune.

Otherwise, if trapped inside the mansion, you would likely be stuck alive due to the solidity of the surrounding stone mountains.

When He Song initially built this cave mansion, his cultivation level was at mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

Only when one reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, possessed divine sense and mana, could they treat the stone mountain as nothing and easily build a secret cave mansion within it.

For the Qi Refining cultivator, no matter how strong they were, they would be powerless against an entire mountain.

Numerous Qi Refining cultivators had punched a deep pit into the stone mountain, which already demonstrated their formidable strength.

It would be difficult for one person to break out of such a situation as He Song did, easily digging out a new passage.

Under such circumstances, if you were truly trapped in the cave mansion, your life and death would be out of your hands.

He Song’s gaze swept over the traces of battle around the pit.

It seemed as if he thought of something; his eyes were dark, staring into the depths of the pit.

However, he did not directly enter the pit to inspect.

Instead, his figure soared into the sky, flying high.

After scanning the surrounding area and making sure no one was passing by, He Song landed at the edge of the pit.

This time, after confirming that there were no other people around, He Song finally entered the interior of the pit.

Following a long, narrow passage, He Song quickly reached his secret cave mansion.

However, upon entering the cave mansion, he made a new discovery.

In the latter half of the long, narrow passage, closer to the secret cave mansion, there were many traces of skill bombardments.

Even the original narrow passage had been widened somewhat.

What was once a passage for only one person to enter was now wide enough for two people to walk side by side.
