Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 642: Chapter 523: What is Caution?_1

This cavern was massive, as were the mining tunnels connected to it, where secrets might have been hidden.

He understood that he must remain extra vigilant while exploring this mine.

With this thought flashing through his mind, He Song willed a Lower-grade Spiritual Tool, the Meteorite Bead, into action, and a protective screen of light instantly enveloped him.

Beyond that, a seal quietly appeared in his hand.

This was the Lower-grade Spiritual Tool, the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake Seal.

Like the Meteorite Bead, the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake Seal was another Lower-grade Spiritual Tool cultivated by He Song himself.

Both tools had been picked out by He Song from the collection of Master Yin Yue, a master at the Later Stage of Golden Elixir and an artifact refining master capable of crafting Middle Grade Spiritual Devices.

Naturally, the might of these Lower-grade Spiritual Tools, treasured by Master Yin Yue, was formidable.

One could even say they were extremely powerful.

With these tools now released, He Song had fully entered a state of combat readiness, poised to strike at enemies at any moment.

After summoning his two Lower-grade Spiritual Tools, He Song’s mind shifted, and spirit elixirs and spirit amulets he could readily access from his storage bag quickly came within an arm’s reach.

Having done all this, He Song channeled the mana from his Elixir Field; two screens of light, similar to the one created by the Meteorite Bead, also appeared around him.

Golden Core Secret Methods, Earth Spirit Protection Skill.

And the Golden Core Secret Methods, Virgin Origin-Returning Skill.

These were the barriers formed by two Golden Core defensive secret skills.

They now silently enveloped He Song’s body.

Once successfully activated, these two Golden Elixir Realm defensive secret techniques did not require him to continuously drain his mana.

After forming an impregnable shield, only when the shield was attacked would it continuously consume He Song’s own mana.

When the shield was not under attack, neither of these Golden Core defensive secret techniques would cause He Song’s mana to deplete over time.

Thus, deploying these two defensive secret techniques in the face of an enemy would not squander He Song’s mana.

They would also ensure his personal safety.

Once the area around him was glowing brightly,

and multiple screens of light fully enshrouded him,

a strong sense of security began to envelop his heart, only then did He Song let out a slight sigh of relief.

Then, He Song turned his head only to see An Ning, who was dumbfounded and staring at him with a blank expression.

An Ning didn’t know what exactly was happening at the moment.

She had been delighted that the mining tunnel had been cleared.

However, in the blink of an eye, she saw numerous screens of light appear around He Song, a refined seal materializing in his hand, and a powerful spiritual pressure emanating from his body.

In An Ning’s eyes, the screens of light around He Song were strikingly bright in the darkness of the mine.

The seal in his hand looked as though it was prepared to be used in combat as an Artifact.

Even He Song’s spiritual pressure felt so intense it almost left her breathless.

However, this sensation was fleeting. When she sensed more carefully, He Song’s spiritual pressure was no longer as overbearing as before.

Unaware of He Song’s true level of cultivation, she still felt utterly confused.

If she didn’t know that He Song was on her side, and no threat to her, she probably would have turned and run the moment she saw this unusual scene.

He Song’s appearance clearly indicated that he had armed himself to the teeth, ready to engage in a duel at any moment.

Yet,

in this abandoned mine, where could an enemy possibly come from?

An Ning, who was dumbfounded, was now full of doubts.

But at that moment,

He Song’s voice reached her ears.

“What are you dazed for? Where is your Defensive Artifact?”

“There might be danger here. It would be best to summon your Artifact to protect yourself,”

“Let’s go,”

Urged by He Song, An Ning, who had reacted too slowly, quickly came to her senses.

After retrieving her own Defensive Artifact and casting it around her, gratitude flickered in An Ning’s eyes as she looked at He Song.

In her view, He Song’s actions seemed less about guarding against dangers in the mine and more like educating her on how to protect herself in unfamiliar environments.

If she had entered a place of opportunity as unguarded as before, she might have perished instantly should there be any real danger.

By then, not only would she have lost all her cultivation, but she might have also encountered something terrible.

He Song’s actions were clearly meant to tell her to remain cautious at all times; otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.

What An Ning didn’t realize, though,

was that He Song had no intention of taking the time to impart such lessons.

It was the cavern behind the mining tunnel that had instantly put him on high alert.

He summoned his Artifacts and cast protective secret techniques to form barriers—all to ensure his own safety.

Apart from this, he hadn’t considered anything else.

Even An Ning’s safety hadn’t crossed his mind.

He simply wanted her to summon her Artifact and secure her own safety.

As for bringing An Ning close to him to protect her with his Golden Core secret methods and Lower-grade Spiritual Tools, He Song had not even considered it.
