Chapter 1558: Chapter 981 Void Green Lotus Seed

For He Song in the present day,

The most crucial matter was to swiftly advance his cultivation to the peak of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Only then would he attempt a breakthrough into the late-stage Nascent Soul.

With such a thought flashing through his mind, He Song naturally soon immersed himself in cultivation once more.

However,

As He Song had already successfully refined the full medicinal power of the Nine-Revolution Dragon Scale Fruit,

he no longer needed to engage in the previously intense, undistracted seclusive cultivation as before.

Now, he had returned to his former state–secluding himself for only a few days before surveying the situation outside.

In this way, even prolonged seclusive cultivation posed no issues for He Song.

Because during his cultivation, he continuously received a steady stream of information from the outside world.

This ensured that he did not become detached from the external world.

Previously, when He Song was in seclusion refining the Nine-Revolution Dragon Scale Fruit,

although he continuously received external information,

he merely skimmed over it occasionally and then pushed it aside.

Immersed in refining the medicinal power of the Nine-Revolution Dragon Scale Fruit, he simply had no time for such distractions.

Therefore, after He Song successfully refined the medicinal power of the Nine-Revolution Dragon Scale Fruit and began his path of seclusive cultivation,

he soon started sorting through external information.

Interestingly, the process of completely refining the Nine-Revolution Dragon Scale Fruit had not taken much time for He Song at all.

Just a mere twenty years.

And for any Nascent Soul cultivator, twenty years was hardly considered a long period.

Thus, He Song quickly organized all the intelligence he had accumulated over the past twenty years.

In these two decades,

The outside world did not experience any particularly significant events.

Even the demonic cultivators who had invaded the righteous lands and caused havoc gradually retreated during this time, returning to the Demonic Path territories.

However, due to the incomplete nature of the intelligence at He Song’s disposal,

he had no way of knowing precisely why these demonic cultivators withdrew.

Was it because the Demonic Path was truly preparing for a large-scale offensive?

Or was it because the message He had previously sent to Meng Guan was taken seriously by the Nine Yang Sect, prompting them to intervene?

Despite digging deeply into the matter, He Song was ultimately unable to uncover the truth.

He also chose not to send a message to Meng Guan at this time to inquire.

After all, considering the intricate connections between the Sun Faction and the Nine Yang Sect,

if the matter was indeed related to the Nine Yang Sect, a rash inquiry from He Song might put Meng Guan in a difficult position.

If Meng Guan revealed the truth, it could potentially offend members of the Nine Yang Sect.

On the other hand, if Meng Guan knew the truth but chose to withhold it, it might strain their friendship.

Thus, after some contemplation, He Song decided against questioning Meng Guan about the issue.

Instead, he issued an order to his intelligence organization: if possible, they should try to investigate the matter further.

He truly wanted to understand,

What exactly had caused these demonic Nascent Soul cultivators to continually withdraw from Righteous Tao territories during his two decades of seclusion.

Still, this matter was deeply entangled and complex.

It would likely take some time before any significant information surfaced.

After handing down these instructions, He Song put the matter out of his mind for the time being.

Besides this,

Some major events had indeed taken place outside during his twenty years of seclusion.

One involved the emergence of a Nascent Soul Cave Abode, which attracted numerous Nascent Soul cultivators vying for it.

Unfortunately, He Song had been in seclusion at the time and completely ignored the affair.

As a result, Qing Feng and his puppets did not participate in the contention either.

He Song had therefore missed out on a great opportunity.

Another event involved sudden conflicts breaking out among several Nascent Soul Upper Sects. Their Nascent Soul cultivators had clashed violently, with the warfare spreading across multiple Immortal Domains.

This incident was distant from He Song, and although it had wide-reaching ramifications, it never impacted him directly.

When He Song first learned of this, he paid it little attention.

But now, as He Song carefully examined the information related to this war,

he began to sense something was amiss.

For several Nascent Soul Upper Sects to engage in such large-scale conflict,

it could not be over any trivial matter.

Through further investigations carried out by his intelligence organization’s operatives, He Song uncovered some peculiar details.

According to one of his informants,

before the wars erupted among these Nascent Soul Upper Sects, several Nascent Soul cultivators from these sects had cooperated to obtain numerous treasures from a certain forbidden ground.

Yet, not long after their respective departures, the wars had suddenly begun.

To this day, the conflicts showed no signs of abating.

The Nascent Soul cultivators from these sects seemed gripped by genuine fury, relentlessly attacking each other with no regard for their lives.

No one knew what kind of treasures these Nascent Soul cultivators had secured from that forbidden ground.

However, based on He Song’s speculation,

The treasures were undoubtedly of extraordinary quality.

Furthermore, there was likely more than one treasure involved,

as it was inconceivable that these Nascent Soul Upper Sects would immediately turn on each other otherwise.

Yet, what exactly these treasures were remained a mystery even to He Song’s informant.

This informant, after all, was only a Gold Core Cultivator.

The reason he knew even this much was because he had been born and raised within one of the warring Nascent Soul Upper Sects.
