Chapter 299 Cloud Prefecture Prefecture
As time passed.
He Song had more and more spirit stones on him.
The distance between him and Cloud Prefecture Prefecture also began to shorten rapidly.
Until one day.
He Song, who had been controlling the spirit boat towards Cloud Prefecture Prefecture, suddenly discovered a giant city on the horizon.
This giant city stretched for an unknown distance.
Looking from afar, the incredibly tall city walls were like an earth dragon, occupying the horizon.
As the distance between He Song's spirit boat and this giant city grew closer and closer, the giant city before He Song's eyes quickly revealed its original appearance.
This was a giant city that was impossible to see the edge of at a glance.
Inside the tall city walls, all kinds of houses were densely packed.
He Song could see dense crowds of people casually moving through the city streets from afar.
Looking into the distance, He Song even discovered that within this giant city, there were also tall mountains standing and lakes dotted, reflecting the entire giant city like a land outside the world.
"What a giant city, there are even mountains and lakes in the city."
"But I just don't know if these mountains and lakes were originally there, or if they were drawn here."
Standing on the spirit boat, He Song's mind flashed with guesses, but in the end, he couldn't guess anything.
He had heard that Golden Core True Persons had the power to move mountains and overturn seas, but he had never had the chance to see it.
Even True Lords Fa Xuan and Yan Mountain of the Earth Sect had never made a move in front of He Song.
Naturally, he had no way of knowing whether such rumors were true or false.
It was just that after seeing the mountains and lakes in this giant city, the rumor he had heard before flashed through his mind.
After guessing.
He Song's gaze swept around, but he found that he was just right above a secluded valley.
Seeing this situation, He Song pondered slightly, and immediately controlled the spirit boat to descend, and soon landed in the valley.
After scanning this valley inside and out with Divine Sense, and finding nothing strange, He Song breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole person tunneled into the ground.
Underground.
With He Song's current Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, using Mountain-Linking Earth Traveling Art, he could already tunnel hundreds of meters underground.
In such deep underground, as long as it wasn't Perfected Foundation Establishment, or Golden Core True Person's Divine Sense specifically investigated the underground, he basically wouldn't be discovered.
But, even though he was already hundreds of meters underground, He Song still didn't stop.
When he reached the limit of how deep Mountain-Linking Earth Traveling Art could tunnel underground, He Song waved his hand casually, and the surrounding soil and rocks were immediately stored by He Song into the Storage Pouch.
Immediately, He Song's surroundings became empty, and he carved out a not-too-big or not-too-small cave in the underground.
After doing all this, He Song casually stored the soil and rocks under his feet into the Storage Pouch again.
Then, he took out the soil and rocks previously stored into the Storage Pouch, and completely filled the cave above his head.
Repeatedly like this.
On one hand, he stored the soil and rocks several meters under his feet into the Storage Pouch, allowing himself to continue falling downwards.
On the other hand, he took out the soil and rocks in the Storage Pouch and filled the cave above his head.
Soon, He Song's figure had already appeared at a place a full thousand meters deep from the ground.
However, after already reaching a depth of a thousand meters, He Song still didn't stop, but instead continued downwards, beginning to constantly explore downwards.
Like this.
Until he reached a depth of about two thousand meters underground, He Song then nodded in satisfaction, and stopped his continued downward action.
Previously, when he was carving out a hidden cave for himself, the depth was controlled at about one thousand meters underground.
But now, the place he was in was different, so the depth naturally had to change.
Hidden caves are located in various hidden places, basically they won't be noticed by people, and even less will people specifically go there and use Divine Sense investigate the underground.
In this way, a depth of a thousand meters was already enough for He Song to hide.
And now, the place where He Song was, was outside of Cloud Prefecture Prefecture.
The distance from Cloud Prefecture Prefecture, according to He Song's estimation, was probably no more than a hundred kilometers.
In such a close distance, no one could be sure whether the Golden Core True Person guarding Cloud Prefecture Prefecture would have a whim and use Divine Sense investigate the underground.
If such a thing really happened, and He Song's masterpiece was discovered.
I'm afraid at that time there will be another trouble.
Therefore, after thinking about it, He Song still decided to build a refuge here with a depth of at least about two thousand meters, in order to prevent accidents from happening on this trip.
This refuge was located two thousand meters underground, even if a Golden Core True Person used Divine Sense investigate the underground, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to reach this depth.
In addition, after the refuge was built, He Song would also set up formations here, in order to avoid this place being discovered by people.
Therefore, a depth of two thousand meters should be enough.
After reaching a depth of two thousand meters, He Song's mind moved, and the Black Tiger Seal immediately flew out from his body, spinning around in front of him.
The reason why he didn't take out the Spirit Snake Bone Seal and the Vajra Shield, these two top-grade artifacts that He Song had just acquired.
Was because these two top-grade artifacts had not yet been refined.
On the journey of him controlling the spirit boat all the way to Cloud Prefecture Prefecture, He Song had already been constantly trying to refine them.
Now, he had already arrived outside of Cloud Prefecture Prefecture, after a month and a half of journey, He Song's refinement of these two top-grade artifacts, was only just able to control them.
If he really wanted to control these two top-grade artifacts at will to meet the enemy, I'm afraid it would take another year.
According to He Song's estimation, half a year would be enough for him to completely refine one top-grade artifact, and for two top-grade artifacts, a year would be about enough.
By that time, these two top-grade artifacts on He Song's body, would naturally be as easy to use as his own arms.
But now, He Song could only summon the Black Tiger Seal that had already been refined and was as easy to use as his own arms, to take out and use against the enemy.
Compared to other Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators, his combat power was considered quite low.
But it was also harmless, He Song's entire combat power was not all on artifacts.
The Black Tiger Seal and the Azure Water Tortoise Shell Shield, these two high-grade artifacts, could still last for a while at this moment.
When He Song completely refined one top-grade artifact, he would be able to replace one of the high-grade artifacts.
When the real equipment change was completed, He Song would naturally also strive to catch up, and greatly improve his own combat power.
With a thought.
The Black Tiger Seal immediately began to grow larger.
Larger and larger.
Larger and larger.
Until the Black Tiger Seal completely filled the space here, and forcibly expanded the surrounding soil and rocks, carving out a huge space, He Song then nodded in satisfaction, and stored it back into his Dantian.
Storing the Black Tiger Seal, He Song's gaze swept around.
Here, a huge space had already appeared, because it was expanded by the Black Tiger Seal, the soil and rocks had also become extremely firm under the squeezing of the Black Tiger Seal.
At least there was no need to worry about the problem of collapsing in the next moment.
Then, He Song used magic, and reinforced the surrounding rocks and soil, and then carved out some rooms around.
After the rooms were enough for his own use, He Song then stopped his movements, and in his hand appeared a formation plate, and several formation flags.
First.
He Song set up a Mist Veil Formation here.
Then he also arranged a Sea-Stabilizing Origin-Returning Formation.
After thinking about it, in the end he still set up a Minor Spirit Gathering Formation, and a Seven Kill Skyfire Array.
After all four formations were set up, the refuge that He Song carved out here, was also completely completed.
If he encountered any crisis in Cloud Prefecture Prefecture, or was caught up in some inexplicable crisis, this place would become He Song's refuge.
Thinking about it, this hidden cave built hundreds of kilometers outside of Cloud Prefecture Prefecture, located two thousand meters deep underground, would provide near-perfect protection for He Song.
After doing all of this, the stone in He Song's heart also fell to the ground.
As the saying goes, "Having food in hand, one's heart is not flustered."
And in He Song's heart, having a way out, having a refuge, was the real peace of mind.
After creating a refuge, He Song checked it again, and confirmed that this place would not collapse due to being underground.
And also left a tracking mark of Seven Fragrance Wind Riding Technique in the refuge.
As long as the mark existed, he could use Seven Fragrance Wind Riding Technique at any time, and return to this place again.
After doing all of this, He Song then returned to that secluded valley as quickly as he had come.
Inside the valley.
He Song revealed his cultivation at Mid-Foundation Establishment, and then transformed into a stream of water-blue escape light, heading towards Cloud Prefecture Prefecture in the distance.
Cloud Prefecture Prefecture, although it was He Song's first time here, because Meng Guan had already stayed here for many years, in his monthly exchanges with He Song, he had also described the scenes of Cloud Prefecture Prefecture to He Song many times.
Even, when He Song rushed to Cloud Prefecture Prefecture, he had already communicated with Meng Guan, and Meng Guan also knew that He Song would arrive at Cloud Prefecture Prefecture in the near future.
Therefore, when He Song had just stepped into Cloud Prefecture Prefecture, Meng Guan's figure had already appeared in front of him.
Many years since we last met.
Meng Guan's appearance remained unchanged.
He Song was also the same.
However, the place where the two met now was very different from before.
"Fellow Daoist, have you been well? I have been looking forward to this for a long time."
When they met, Meng Guan's gaze looked towards He Song, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, this was a great happy event.
Although He Song's coming here was not to stay permanently, the two had not seen each other for a long time, and they had already missed each other quite a bit in their hearts.
"Thank you for your concern, Old Meng. Fortunately, I rushed all the way and didn't encounter any crises, so I was able to arrive in time."
He Song cupped his hands towards Meng Guan, and replied.
But before he could say anything else, Meng Guan had already smiled and shook his head, interrupting his next words.
He pointed to the crowded scene at the city gate, and then remotely pointed to the inside of the Prefecture.
Then he reached out and gestured for He Song to follow.
Seeing this situation, He Song suddenly understood.
This place was not a place to talk, it was better to leave first, and later whether it was to the inn or to Meng Guan's mansion, they could continue to talk freely.
After nodding, He Song immediately followed Meng Guan's footsteps.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly left the location of the Prefecture city gate.
Soon, the figures of the two appeared in a tea house.
Sitting down at a window seat on the second floor, after Meng Guan and He Song exchanged greetings, spirit tea was served, and the fragrance of tea overflowed.
He Song's heart stirred when he smelled it.
Immediately, his mind moved, Magical Power surged out, and he poured a cup for himself and Meng Guan.
As a cup of spirit tea entered his stomach, He Song only felt his spirit shake, and the fatigue of rushing on the road for days completely dissipated at this moment.
Noticing that a cup of spirit tea actually had such effects, He Song was about to praise it, but he saw Meng Guan smile and point around, and said.
"The spirit tea here is very wonderful, knowing that Fellow Daoist is a tea lover, so after entering this Cloud Prefecture Prefecture, the first stop was to bring Fellow Daoist here to taste tea."
"What does Fellow Daoist think?"
