Chapter 1561: Chapter 982: Late-Stage Nascent Soul 2

Then, the spiritual tools he employs will naturally become top-grade spiritual tools.

And as He Song successfully refines these two top-grade spiritual tools in the future.

His own strength.

Will also rise to the level of late-stage Nascent Soul.

By that time.

Even if He Song faces cultivators at Nascent Soul Perfection, he will absolutely have no threat to his life.

Furthermore, even without utilizing his numerous trump cards and various puppets, he could still escape from the hands of any cultivator at Nascent Soul Perfection.

This level of strength improvement is extremely significant for He Song.

It also alleviates concerns about his trump cards being discovered by others, thereby impacting his future development.

In essence.

This breakthrough to the late-stage Nascent Soul is akin to giving wings to a tiger for He Song.

In the future, the vast Cultivation World will be his to explore.

As long as he doesn’t encounter those old monsters at the Divinity Transformation Level.

He Song need not worry about his own safety.

With his breakthrough to the late-stage Nascent Soul accomplished and in the process of consolidating his cultivation.

Various external news.

Started appearing before him in a continuous stream.

There’s no helping it.

During his focused seclusion to break through to the late-stage Nascent Soul, he had been entirely preoccupied, without any attention paid to the external affairs.

Now that he has achieved his breakthrough and is consolidating his cultivation level.

These accumulated external matters and years’ worth of information naturally came to He Song for review.

And as he began reviewing them.

A flash of understanding appeared in He Song’s eyes.

It turned out, his period of seclusion lasted for several decades again.

Reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage consumed a fair amount of time.

Subsequently, breaking through the bottleneck and attempting to ascend to the late-stage Nascent Soul equally consumed significant time.

When adding these together.

Decades simply passed by unnoticed.

Realizing this, He Song sighed inwardly.

Indeed.

For any Nascent Soul cultivator, the path of cultivation is extraordinarily lengthy.

Occasional seclusion can last for decades, or even centuries, and this is considered entirely normal.

Fortunately.

For someone like He Song, an everlasting being, there is no need to worry about his lifespan as other cultivators do.

With this thought, He Song smiled faintly and turned to review the major events of the past several decades.

As He Song reviewed them.

The major events that occurred during his decades of seclusion gradually unfolded before him.

The first.

Was an unexpected conflict between the Righteous Tao and the Demon Path.

According to the intelligence reports.

At the border of the Demon Path Sacred Land Soul Locking Sect and the Righteous Tao Holy Land Nine Yang Sect.

A conflict suddenly broke out during He Song’s decades of seclusion.

This conflict involved nearly ten Nascent Soul Upper Sects.

The cause seemed to be long-standing grievances between a Righteous Upper Sect and a Demonic Upper Sect, ultimately erupting into an irreconcilable battle.

Later, as both sides found their strength evenly matched, they each began seeking reinforcements from surrounding forces.

With one Upper Sect after another from the Righteous Tao and the Demon Path joining the fray.

The scale of the war even surpassed the previous conflict between Yi Yang Sect’s Three Factions and the Northern Three Demonic Sects.

After all, in the previous war between Yi Yang Sect’s Three Factions and the Three Demonic Sects, at most six Nascent Soul Upper Sects were involved.

But this time, the conflict ultimately involved eight or nine Nascent Soul Upper Sects.

Furthermore, it ended with the Demon Path claiming victory.

In this instance, the Righteous Tao suffered a minor loss.

Thus, this war could indeed be considered one of the major events that occurred during He Song’s decades-long seclusion.

However.

To He Song, this development spurred a new line of speculation.

Previously, when Yi Yang Sect’s Three Factions and the Northern Three Demonic Sects clashed, it was the Righteous Tao that emerged victorious, absorbing a significant amount of territory as a result.

On the other hand, the Demon Path had suffered a minor loss during that confrontation.

Under these circumstances.

If the Demon Path desired to reclaim its position.

Would it also initiate a conflict in another area, leveraging its own advantages to gain the upper hand over the Righteous Tao?

Take, for example.

This recent victory by the Demon Path in the conflict.

To He Song, this event seemed very likely to be a response by the Demon Path.

Another possibility could be that it was an act of retaliation.

Otherwise.

Why were these Righteous and Demonic sects coexisting peacefully before?

Yet suddenly, after Yi Yang Sect’s Three Factions achieved victory, they reached a breaking point and started attacking each other?

While He Song was unsure about other underlying reasons, his speculation was far from groundless.

Nonetheless.

If He Song’s hypothesis proves accurate and this conflict was indeed provoked by the Demon Path as retaliation.

What might happen next.

Might be more mutual probing and skirmishes along the Righteous and Demon Border.

With this thought passing through his mind, He Song immediately made a decision.

From today onward.

The Nascent Soul Puppets under his command, unless for essential reasons, are to avoid the Righteous and Demon Border.

In case they encounter trouble, it could lead to the loss of a puppet.

While losing a puppet wouldn’t severely damage He Song’s strength.

It would still qualify as a significant drawback.

Sending these Nascent Soul Puppets to risk their lives for minor opportunities or tasks along the Righteous and Demon Border is hardly worth it.

After finalizing this decision.

He Song continued reviewing other major occurrences.

Among these, the second major event during his decades-long seclusion.

Was the emergence of a Nascent Soul Cave Abode.

This Nascent Soul Cave Abode materialized deep within the Demons Realm to the west of Yi Yang Sect.

At the time of its emergence, several Nascent Soul cultivators and numerous Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators were probing the Demons Realm for opportunities.

As such, the appearance of this Nascent Soul Cave Abode swiftly attracted countless cultivators.

However.

Apart from human cultivators.

The presence of numerous human cultivators also drew a large number of demonic beasts swarming to this area from across the Demons Realm.

For a time, this led to a considerable beast tide within the realm.

Fortunately.

Among the cultivators drawn to the Nascent Soul Cave Abode were several Nascent Soul cultivators and numerous Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Under these circumstances, the beast tide didn’t escalate into a catastrophic issue.

During the struggle for treasures, two Nascent Soul demonic beasts emerged from the depths of the Demons Realm and clashed with the group of Nascent Soul cultivators.

In this encounter, the two Nascent Soul demonic beasts failed to gain any advantage.

Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul cultivators, upon acquiring many treasures from the Nascent Soul Cave Abode, soon withdrew from the area.

As a result, further demonic beasts from the depths of the Demons Realm didn’t rally to the site.

The remaining treasures within the Nascent Soul Cave Abode, naturally, were swiftly divided among the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Thus, this unexpected appearance of a Nascent Soul Cave Abode in the depths of the Demons Realm concluded this chapter.

Unfortunately.

At that time, He Song was in seclusion.

Thus, he missed the news of the Nascent Soul Cave Abode’s emergence.

Otherwise.

Had he sent Qing Feng and other puppets together, they might have been able to snatch away some treasures from the Nascent Soul Cave Abode like a hawk stealing food.

This missed opportunity left He Song sighing, but not overly regretful.

After all, it was his focus on breaking through that led to missing the Nascent Soul Cave Abode’s appearance.

To He Song, this was an entirely acceptable loss.

Moreover, it was just a Nascent Soul Cave Abode.

For He Song at his current stage, although it could still yield major gains.

Most of those gains were no longer particularly enticing to him.

Take spirit stones, for instance.

Currently, He Song no longer needed to expend massive amounts of resources to purchase heavenly materials to boost his cultivation.

Under these conditions, even large quantities of spirit stones held relatively little value for He Song.

At best, they might enhance the endurance of his puppets.

Or ensure his array formations could hold out longer under attack.
