Chapter 876 Sun Zhao's Disappearance and Seclusion (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)
"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. The hope of achieving the Nascent Soul is within reach. It has been more than 40 years since I entered the True Flame Sect. I don't think anyone would be willing to do anything to secretly observe my every move?"
"No matter what, I can't delay any longer. I must retreat and adjust my state as soon as possible. Whether I succeed or not, I must start in the shortest possible time."
Sun Mingsheng's action is still quite fast. On the second night, he quietly left the Spiritual Medicine Garden and entered the depths of the cave that had been secretly excavated long ago. He set up a set of formation flags and tried his best to cover his own breath in it.
Thanks to Sun Zhao's low-key style of doing things on weekdays, his disappearance did not cause any waves in the True Flame Sect. No one even noticed that such an ordinary fourth-level foundation-building cultivator had disappeared.
Although the True Flame Sect is one of the most famous and powerful sects in the Endless Sea, it is common for the foundation-building cultivators in the sect to die in danger due to various circumstances.
Except for some direct lineage foundation-building cultivators who were valued, the sect could not investigate further. It was not until a full year later that the disciples who came to collect spiritual medicines on behalf of the sect discovered Sun Zhao's disappearance and reported it to the sect for record.
For the Zhenyan Sect, there was no heartache for Sun Zhao's disappearance. What made them more heartbroken was that they had nothing to gain from the spiritual medicine garden for a year.
A month later, after another mid-stage foundation-building cultivator took over the spiritual medicine garden where Sun Zhao was, his former existence was like an illusory bubble. The only people who occasionally remembered this low-key cultivator were the middlemen who sold spiritual medicines.
Because of Sun Zhao's disappearance, a relatively stable source of goods was lost for nothing, and at least thousands of spiritual stones of profit were lost every year. As time passed, this memory was also in a process of continuous weakening. It seemed that in just three to five years, Sun Zhao, a former fourth-level foundation-building cultivator, would completely disappear from the Zhenyan Sect.
As for the female "master" who once doubted Sun Mingsheng, she had already married and had children, and had long forgotten this ninth-level Qi Refining disciple who was accepted into the sect.
In short, Sun Zhao's disappearance did not attract any extra attention from the giant Zhenyan Sect, which undoubtedly shows the success of his previous actions.
After all, no one could have imagined that a ninth-level Jindan cultivator would suppress his cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage and spend a full forty years waiting for a suitable opportunity.
In an inconspicuous corner of the back mountain of Zhenyan Lingshan, in a simple cave that was covered layer by layer and built in the middle of the formation veins to the depths of the mountain, Sun Mingsheng was sitting cross-legged in it.
"After years of suppression, the foundation of cultivation has been consolidated, but it has also never allowed the cultivation to move forward. The opportunity to achieve the Nascent Soul is only once, and only after thousands of trials and tribulations, can one consolidate one's cultivation to the peak and increase the success rate as much as possible."
Sun Mingsheng has a sufficient understanding of his current situation and enough patience. He waited until he officially entered the state of retreat and ensured that the current position was relatively safe and would not be easily leaked before starting this formal retreat.
The entrance to the location of this temporary cave is located in an inconspicuous jungle on the back mountain of Zhenyan Lingshan, and the atmosphere is relatively cool and does not match the cultivators of Zhenyan Sect. Few people come here on weekdays.
And the temporary cave specially built by Sun Mingsheng also took a full ten years to dig in the gap of the large array veins.
Combining various factors, according to his calculations, under normal circumstances, as long as it has not reached the last moment of breaking the pill to become an infant, it will not easily appear in the eyes of others unless it attracts the impact of the infant formation celestial phenomenon.
As for the impact of the infant formation celestial phenomenon, everything is exposed to others, and naturally he can't care about it. With his current strength, he can't suppress this celestial phenomenon at all.
Once the infant formation celestial phenomenon is attracted, it means that he is only one step away from achieving the Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul cultivators of Zhenyan Sect will naturally not easily stop or interfere.
After all, it is always beneficial for them to have a Nascent Soul cultivator born in Zhenyan Sect. Even if they can't attract him to join the sect, they can still form a good relationship.
Moreover, the connection between the cause and effect of achieving the Nascent Soul from Zhenyan Sect is not easy to cut off. The Nascent Soul cultivators of Zhenyan Sect naturally understand the importance of it.
As for once the impact of the Nascent Soul fails, a Jindan ninth-level cultivator who has completely lost his way will naturally not be in the eyes of Zhenyan Sect. How to deal with him is not easy? There is no need to worry about causing any other consequences.
A Jindan ninth-level cultivator who really has the confidence and resources to help will not easily choose to risk achieving the Nascent Soul in other sects.
For Sun Mingsheng, if he succeeded in achieving the Nascent Soul, then everything would be fine. Otherwise, he would have to sacrifice his life.
While consolidating the foundation of his own cultivation, Sun Mingsheng was also deeply studying the "Golden Crow Ascension Art" about some precautions for cultivators to achieve the Nascent Soul and the necessary conditions for changing to another cultivation method after successful promotion. In short, he put a lot of energy into anything related to achieving the Nascent Soul in the future and dared not slack off.
The "Golden Crow Ascension Art" was originally a reward from the crumbling Yuqin Sect, and it can be said to be the only legacy left over from the peak of the sect.
According to records, when the Yuqin Sect was at its peak, there were several Yuanying stage ancestors sitting in the sect, so there would naturally be no lack of relevant records about the various precautions for breaking the pill to become a baby.
And this aspect is what Sun Mingsheng lacks the most. So far, his understanding of this aspect is just some groundless news.
Although the various precautions and tips recorded in the "Golden Crow Ascension Art" are relatively far away, it is still the only reliable source of information for Sun Mingsheng.
The various records about breaking the pill to become a baby are mainly divided into two different aspects, the precautions before becoming a baby, the precautions during the Jindan stage, and the precautions during the impact process during the baby.
Sun Mingsheng cannot verify the authenticity of the latter, but the former can be tried one by one as much as possible in the current stage of practice and verify the effect.
For example, one of the records states that before a cultivator breaks the pill and becomes an infant, he needs to use the essence of his own attribute inheritance and spiritual consciousness to cultivate a little spirituality in the core of the golden pill.
Once he begins to impact the infant, at the critical moment of breaking the pill and becoming an infant, he can use this little spirituality as a basis to condense and attract the essence of the golden pill, thereby creating an infant in the dantian and assisting the cultivator to officially embark on the path of the infant. Of course, it is not easy to ignite this little spirituality, and it requires the cultivator's persistent investment and the appearance of a little opportunity before it can be achieved.
