Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

But soon, after several instances, when He Song consistently showed no change in his expression, An Ning’s mind also became calm.

At the same time, an idea emerged in An Ning’s mind.

“Perhaps, this is what they mean by the elusive opportunity?”

“Usually, all I hear from those senior sisters in the Wind Snow Palace is how opportunities are hard to find.”

“Now it seems, opportunities really are incredibly hard to find.”

“Perhaps, those senior sisters of the Wind Snow Palace have traveled through numerous regions and still found no opportunity at all.”

“The opportunity that existed in that huge cave previously means there has been some harvest this time.”

“Indeed, I shouldn’t be greedy for more.”

An Ning’s thoughts surged in her mind, and facing the scene where no opportunity could be found, she was no longer impatient.

On the contrary, she even seemed to have gained some insight, categorizing the whole situation under the difficult search for opportunities.

In this regard.

He Song was completely unaware.

However, if he knew what An Ning was thinking, he would certainly approve.

She was indeed different, blessed with good fortune, not only able to find opportunities but also to deduce from one thing and understand more about the nature of opportunities.

Perhaps, it was because of the insights gained today that An Ning’s cultivation path in the future would be much smoother.

In this manner.

It was only after the two of them had checked over all possible opportunity harboring places in the entire abandoned mine.

That they ultimately only discovered the huge cave they had found before.

No other place of opportunity was found.

Realizing that there were no more opportunities left inside this abandoned mine.

He Song’s face remained calm.

But his divine sense had already reached out, scanning through the crisscrossing mine tunnels of the abandoned mine one more time.

Under the scrutiny of He Song’s divine sense.

The complex and extensive mine tunnels, as well as the exit leading to the underground current from that huge cave, all became clear and visible.

There was nothing remarkable about this abandoned mine.

Besides the winding tunnels that could serve as hiding spots, it served no other purpose.

But for He Song.

Even if this abandoned mine was not of much use.

His previous thoughts had not dissipated.

This mine with its intricate and labyrinthine tunnels could still serve as a place for his secluded cultivation in the future.

If he could set up a few Smoke Arrays at strategic locations and rely on their ability to shield divine sense, it is quite possible that even a Golden Elixir Master would be delayed for a long time.

If He Song were to also block the mine tunnels he had opened today,

He could probably hold off pursuers for even longer.

The most important thing was.

In the huge cave He Song had previously explored, there was an exit leading directly to the underground current, allowing him to leave unnoticed.

A place such as this abandoned mine, so safe that it would likely go undetected, and with a concealed escape route, could become an excellent secluded cultivation place after some modifications.

Such a place could even be more hidden than the Hidden Mansion He Song had previously established in the Purple Cloud Sect, allowing him to better avoid danger.

However, the exit from that huge cave leading directly to the underground current needed careful exploration by He Song.

With such a thought in mind, He Song directed his divine sense into the exit leading to the underground current and began to cautiously explore the surroundings.

Wherever He Song’s divine sense traveled, numerous creatures inhabiting the underground current were detected by it.

Some twisting paths were also revealed by his divine sense.

Occasionally, He Song’s divine sense would also detect the presence of demonic beasts in the underground current.

There were Qi Refining stage demonic beasts.

As well as Foundation Establishment Realm beasts.

All these demonic beasts lived in the underground current, and likely would not have been detected by anyone under normal circumstances.

After detecting these traces of demonic beasts, He Song also had a conclusion about why the Foundation Establishment True Person who had been trapped in the huge cave did not leave through the cave’s exit.

With these Foundation Establishment demonic beasts present, once a person left the subterranean river, they would likely be torn to shreds by the beasts in an instant.

He, already heavily injured, certainly couldn’t do that.

To be trapped to death in the cave was an unavoidable matter.

Thus, He Song’s divine sense continued to reach out for hundreds of miles, but still, he had not found an exit within the subterranean river.

Realizing this, a slight joy arose in He Song’s heart.

The further the exit was from this place, the safer it would be when he eventually made his escape.

It seemed,

this abandoned mine would indeed become his secluded cultivation place.

With such a thought flashing through his mind, He Song’s expression remained unchanged as if nothing had happened, he retracted his divine sense and quickly left the place with An Ning.

This place had been earmarked by He Song as his secluded cultivation place for the foreseeable future.

The fewer people who knew about this, the better.

Not even An Ning was someone He Song planned to tell.

After returning to Jinsha Immortal Lane with An Ning and staying there for several days, He Song eventually bid farewell and left.

Under An Ning’s reluctant gaze, He Song transformed into a golden tunneling light, soaring towards the sky.

Then, hundreds of miles away from Jinsha Immortal Lane, he descended to the ground and turned to enter the earth, heading towards the abandoned mine.

In this manner,

when He Song’s figure reappeared in the abandoned mine, several days had already passed.

Several days later, He Song’s figure returned to the depths of the abandoned mine.

However, unlike before, he was now without the company of An Ning.

An Ning was probably still presiding over Jinsha Immortal Lane.

After entering the abandoned mine, He Song returned to the large cave as if he knew the place well, and came to the outlet that led directly to the subterranean river.

This time,

instead of just extending his divine sense to explore the area, He Song leapt in, concealing his presence before diving into the water to personally investigate the subterranean river.

With the power of a Golden Elixir Master, the reach of one’s divine sense is extremely vast.

In such a case, even though He Song entered the subterranean river, there was no risk of getting lost or encountering any danger.

With his Golden Elixir Realm cultivation, He Song was well-supported to roam freely within the subterranean river.

Of course, if he encountered a Golden Elixir demonic beast, since he had already activated the Concealing Divine Sense Skill, he would not be detected by it.

One could say,

even if he came across a Golden Elixir demonic beast in the subterranean river, there would be no danger for He Song.

On the contrary, he could leave a tracking mark and return here after growing stronger to capture the Golden Elixir demonic beast.

The value of a Golden Elixir demonic beast was well understood by He Song.

Hadn’t he left Purple River State because a Golden Elixir demonic beast had appeared there?

Under such circumstances, should He Song encounter a Golden Elixir demonic beast here, it might very well be a fortunate opportunity for him.

With this in mind,

fearing no danger and not worried about losing his way, He Song swiftly traveled through the subterranean river, starting to gradually explore.

The subterranean river was incredibly spacious and covered a vast area.

He Song concealed his presence and silently used his divine sense to inspect his surroundings, quickly coming to understand the lay of the land.

As He Song continued to expand his divine sense, sensing farther areas, the range of his exploration naturally began to swiftly increase.

The reach of He Song’s divine sense exploration was more than a hundred miles.

His tunneling speed was also exceedingly fast.

In such conditions, He Song soon discovered an exit some hundreds of miles from the large cave.

It was a deep pool.

Within the pool, the presence of Foundation Establishment demonic beasts ebbed and flowed.

But for He Song, such a deep pool leading to the surface would be his escape route in the future.

Naturally, the Foundation Establishment demonic beasts within the pool did not concern him.

However, even though he had already found an exit, He Song did not stop his continued exploration.
