Chapter 182: Foundation Establishment Failure

Under such circumstances, the defensive capabilities of the sect's grand protective formation, as well as its offensive capabilities, were naturally second to none.

When there was no threat, the Earth Sect's grand protective formation would naturally not be active at all times.

As for the Seven Stars Sect's grand protective formation, the two Golden Core True Lords of the Earth Sect didn't pay much attention to it.

Attacking a grand protective formation by force required a massive expenditure of manpower and resources.

Moreover, it couldn't be breached in a short period of time.

Instead, it was better to take advantage of the Seven Stars Sect activating their grand protective formation to take control of all the forces within the Seven Stars Sect's sphere of influence, turning the Seven Stars Sect's mountain gate into an isolated island.

Perhaps, when the Seven Stars Sect could no longer sustain the terrifying consumption of the grand protective formation and deactivated it, they would emerge from their mountain gate only to find that their original sphere of influence had been completely taken over by the Earth Sect.

In fact, if they didn't come up with a countermeasure, the Seven Stars Sect might even be erased from existence by the two Golden Core True Lords of the Earth Sect.

At that time, the Seven Stars Sect's True Lord Heavenly Pivot would probably cough up blood.

Now.

It was the third year after He Song's breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

This year, the Seven Stars Sect's grand protective formation was still active.

And the Earth Sect's Foundation Establishment True Persons and Golden Core True Lords were busy claiming territory within the Seven Stars Sect's sphere of influence, extremely busy.

Almost every Foundation Establishment True Person's pockets were filled with cultivation resources and various rare treasures.

Sect wars.

They were both dangerous and presented opportunities.

If you won, you would be rolling in wealth, just like the Earth Sect's Foundation Establishment True Persons at this moment.

If you lost, you would meet a tragic end, just like those Foundation Establishment True Persons of the Seven Stars Sect who had died.

The reason why He Song didn't want to participate in the sect war was naturally because he was worried about his own safety.

He would rather give up the opportunities that came with it.

Than participate in a sect war, an event with an extremely high mortality rate.

At the same time.

When he learned that the two Golden Core True Lords within the Earth Sect had brazenly attacked, all the way to the foot of the Seven Stars Sect's mountain gate, He Song was not in a hurry to return to the sect.

Instead, after learning this news, he intensified his cultivation of the Divine Piercing Arrow.

However, it was three years after He Song's Foundation Establishment, while he was cultivating the Divine Piercing Arrow.

The Message Talisman he had placed in front of him began to flicker with light again.

He Song, who was practicing the Divine Piercing Arrow, quickly stopped his practice upon seeing this and picked up the Message Talisman.

He Song took out a thin sheet of paper from the Message Talisman and glanced at it.

"Fellow Daoist He, Senior Sister Shuangshuang failed her Foundation Establishment two years ago. . Her injuries have now fully recovered, and she is about to be sent elsewhere. ."

"Before leaving, Senior Sister remembered the gift you gave her in Green Wall Immortal City and wanted to see you one last time to thank you. ."

"I don't know where you are now, Fellow Daoist. . I see that your courtyard seems to have been unattended for a long time. . Have you found another place. ?"

"Pinger. ."

Looking at the lines of writing on the paper, He Song's heart stirred.

Pinger's Senior Sister. ?

Chu Shuangshuang. ?

Chu Shuangshuang failed her Foundation Establishment. ?

A hint of absentmindedness flashed in his eyes. . He Song raised his head to look in the direction of the Earth Sect's mountain gate, and a slight sigh escaped his lips.

He recalled the past.

When he had just transmigrated into this world.

He made two new friends, Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

Soon after, he met Pinger at the Immortal Market's Spirit Technique Pavilion.

From then on, the Immortal Market calamity.

If Wei Fan hadn't helped him, he would have fled the Immortal Market and sought development in the mortal world.

If that had really happened, his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment would not have been so smooth.

From that time on, Pinger had already known Chu Shuangshuang.

And later, with Chu Shuangshuang's help, Pinger successfully became True Person Clear Moon's disciple.

Thus, Pinger's status changed from a small Immortal Market cultivator to a True Person's disciple of the Earth Sect.

This change in status was enormous.

And he, through a series of coincidences, had met Chu Shuangshuang.

Although their relationship was not very close, and there was no romantic feeling between them.

But, in the end, she was still an acquaintance.

Now that Chu Shuangshuang had failed her Foundation Establishment, and after recovering from her injuries, she would soon be sent away from the sect, and there would probably be almost no chance to see her again.

Before leaving, Chu Shuangshuang remembered that he had once given her, Pinger, and True Person Clear Moon a gift, so it was normal for her to want to see him.

It was just that.

He glanced at the quiet room he was in.

A hint of helplessness flashed across He Song's face.

Now, he had already reached Foundation Establishment.

Once he returned to the sect, he would immediately be discovered by the Foundation Establishment True Persons in the sect.

The appearance of a newly advanced Foundation Establishment True Person in the sect would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention.

Moreover, she had just failed her Foundation Establishment, and he was going to see her one last time as a Foundation Establishment True Person. . . Wasn't that a bit too cruel. ?

Of course, the most important thing was that returning to the sect at this time was not in line with He Song's plan.

According to He Song's own plan.

He needed to return to the sect a few days before his sixtieth birthday, or around half a month before.

Only then could he give others the illusion that his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was very lucky.

In this way, his identity would be that of an ordinary person who had luckily broken through to Foundation Establishment.

Not the kind of character who was dazzling the moment he appeared.

Only in this way could He Song quietly become an invisible person in the Earth Sect and silently let his strength continue to grow.

Therefore.

This time, Chu Shuangshuang failed her Foundation Establishment, and after her injuries fully recovered, she wanted to see him one last time before leaving.

This matter was probably impossible.

He shook his head.

He Song casually took out a thin sheet of paper, and spiritual energy surged from his fingertips, leaving lines of writing on the paper.

"Unfortunately, I tried to break through to Foundation Establishment a year ago and failed. . I am currently recuperating in a hidden place, so I cannot return to the sect to see Senior Sister Shuangshuang. ."

"I am now fifty-nine years old. . If I cannot break through to Foundation Establishment before I turn sixty, I am afraid that I will have no hope of Foundation Establishment in this life. ."

"I think Senior Sister Shuangshuang can understand. . This time, when I come out of seclusion, regardless of whether I have broken through to Foundation Establishment or not, I will personally visit Senior Sister Shuangshuang. ."

"I hope Pinger can help me put in a good word. ."

"He Song. ."

After doing all this, He Song put the paper in his hand into the Message Talisman. . With a surge of spiritual energy, the paper instantly disappeared.

Seeing this, He Song sighed, feeling that fate was playing tricks on people.

Chu Shuangshuang.

According to what Pinger and He Song had said during their chats.

Only had the talent of four spiritual roots.

The reason why she was able to become True Person Clear Moon's disciple was because she was related to True Person Clear Moon.

Only then could she enter the Earth Sect and become a True Person's disciple.

It was a pity that.

Despite this, due to the limitations of her own talent and bad luck, she ultimately failed to cross the chasm of Foundation Establishment.

As a disciple of the Earth Sect, and the first disciple of a Foundation Establishment True Person, she had still met such an end.

It showed how difficult Foundation Establishment was.

As difficult as ascending to heaven.

The path to Foundation Establishment for ordinary wandering cultivators was much harder than for sect disciples.

Sect disciples had to make thorough preparations to break through to Foundation Establishment, and there was still a high chance of failure.

Ordinary wandering cultivators wanted to break through to Foundation Establishment, even if they made what they considered to be thorough preparations, their success rate was completely incomparable to that of sect disciples.

Sect disciples had Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment experiences.

What did wandering cultivators have. ?

Thinking of this, He Song couldn't help but sigh in his heart. . Meng Guan was really lucky back then.

After replying to Pinger.

Scenes of his acquaintance with Chu Shuangshuang flashed through He Song's mind. . For a moment, he felt extremely frustrated.

He knew that this kind of thing would definitely happen frequently in the future.

He should get used to it.

But the more he thought about it, the more obvious his frustration became.

With no other choice.

He Song opened the door of the quiet room and walked outside the cave dwelling, wanting to look at the scenery to relax.

At the very least, he had to dispel the pent-up frustration in his heart before continuing to practice the Divine Piercing Arrow.

Divine sense-type techniques.

When practicing, it was best to maintain a good state of mind.

If you practiced during periods of great emotional ups and downs, some unnecessary troubles might arise.

At the same time, it could also allow him to slowly get used to the feeling of acquaintances gradually being left behind, while he would continue to move forward.

As a longevity practitioner.

He Song would inevitably face this kind of thing in the future.

Rather than avoid it.

It was better to face it directly. . The more he experienced it, the higher his immunity to this kind of thing would naturally become.

Perhaps in the future, when this kind of thing happened again, He Song would remain calm and only sigh inwardly.

However.

Just as He Song stepped out of the quiet room, preparing to relax.

As soon as he left the quiet room, He Song saw two message paper cranes appearing in front of him.

Since He Song had been in closed-door cultivation for a long time, people who were looking for him would basically communicate with Message Talismans. . He Song hadn't seen message paper cranes for a long time.

Seeing the two message paper cranes outside the quiet room, He Song was slightly stunned, then released his aura and took the two thin sheets of paper.

"How have you been, Fellow Daoist. ? I failed my Foundation Establishment this time. . Fortunately, I had a Meridian Protection Pill, so I barely survived. ."

"This Green Wall Immortal City, I don't want to stay here any longer. ."

"Wasted decades, only to end up with nothing. ."

"Now I am over sixty years old. . It is time to find a marriage partner and have children to inherit my legacy. ."

"If Fellow Daoist has any business with me in the future, you can come to Bamboo Mountain Immortal Market. ."

"The starting point of our immortal paths are both here, it's hard to forget. ."

"I will be here, awaiting your arrival. ."

"Lin Cong. ."

His gaze swept across the writing on the paper. . He Song's gaze lingered on the name Lin Cong for a long time.

If he remembered correctly.

Decades ago, when he had just transmigrated into this world, his first neighbor was Lin Cong, right. ?

At that time, Lin Cong.

Was full of vigor.

Had a sturdy build.

His eyes contained a fierce aura.

His body was full of bulging muscles.

His aura was extremely powerful.

In addition, his cultivation was much higher than He Song's at that time, and his spiritual pressure was also quite imposing.

When they first met, He Song had a very deep impression of Lin Cong.

It was only later, during the Immortal Market calamity, that Lin Cong left the Immortal Market under his reminder and went to Green Wall Immortal City, where he settled down.

It wasn't until He Song joined the Earth Sect and once went to Green Wall Immortal City to deliver a gift to True Person Clear Moon that the two met again.
