Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 758: Chapter 581: Elder Phantom Snow_1

“Although the junior does not know what exactly the Sect Leader discussed with them in secret,”

“from the descriptions of fellow disciples within the sect, those Foundation Establishment elders all showed joy on their faces as they left the great hall.”

“It seems, then, that the matter discussed by the Sect Leader was unlikely to be bad news.”

“Perhaps, it could even be very good news.”

“However, the Sect Leader did not reveal this matter to those Foundation Establishment elders who were already within the Sect Gate, nor to guardians like me who are stationed outside.”

“Those Foundation Establishment elders who had a secret meeting with the Sect Leader also kept their lips sealed, unwilling to divulge more.”

“I didn’t know the reason behind this previously,”

“However, now several months have passed, and it seems there are some clues to this mystery.”

“Many months ago, Sir had asked me to gather more information on this.”

“Naturally, I have not been negligent.”

“Over these months, through my tireless inquiries, I’ve managed to obtain some tidbits.”

“Unfortunately, most of the information is rather vague.”

“Even with all my efforts, I can only guess that a person of great importance is about to arrive at the Wind Snow Palace.”

“Until today.”

“The Sect Leader suddenly sent letters to all Foundation Establishment elders who had rushed back to the Sect Gate, as well as those currently guarding in Immortal Pavilion and Immortal City.”

“Naturally, this includes me as well.”

“In the letter, the Sect Leader claims that the previous Sect Leader of Wind Snow Palace has now left seclusion, and his cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul Realm.”

“Effective immediately, he will return to the Sect Gate and take his position at Wind Snow Palace.”

“From then on, under the leadership of Ancestor Yuanying, Wind Snow Palace will step into the ranks of the Nascent Soul Upper Sect, standing shoulder to shoulder with the surrounding Nascent Soul Upper Sects.”

“The letter also instructed all Foundation Establishment elders within the area of influence of Wind Snow Palace to continue their duties for the time being, awaiting further arrangements.”

“There may be important tasks entrusted later on.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Although the junior doesn’t know whether this is true or false, if it is true…”

“Sir, is the crisis looming near Jinsha Immortal Lane that you mentioned before related to this event?”

“A Nascent Soul cultivator breaking through is indeed a major event for nearby cultivators, and it might even involve dangers to life.”

“But if this Nascent Soul cultivator belongs to Wind Snow Palace, then as a Foundation Establishment elder of Wind Snow Palace, I probably don’t need to worry about it.”

“I hope Sir can enlighten me, should I return to Sunset Immortal City now?”

He Song’s eyes flickered as he scanned the densely packed text on the paper before him.

An Ning’s ability to continually follow He Song’s instructions over these months and gather information about the Wind Snow Palace did not surprise him.

Nor was he surprised that, after months of inquiry, she had only gathered bits and pieces of information, barely concluding that an important figure seemed to be arriving at the Wind Snow Palace.

An Ning, while being a Foundation Establishment True Person and extremely respectful to him,

was not a true intelligence agent.

Gleaning information from the words of others was not her forte.

Under the circumstances, being able to acquire even these fragments of information over several months already spoke volumes of An Ning’s capabilities.

Even more so, her ability to infer from these scraps that a significant individual would soon arrive at the Wind Snow Palace was not an effort in vain.

The information she had obtained was actually quite close to the truth.

However, inevitably due to the short time frame, her relatively low position, and lack of experience,

she failed to gather concrete intelligence.

But this was not something to blame her for; it simply meant An Ning had genuinely done her best.

Unexpectedly, it seemed that the Sect Leader of Wind Snow Palace, perhaps seeing that the Nascent Soul cultivator was about to, or had already, come out of seclusion,

decided to lay all cards on the table without further pretense.

The Sect Leader directly informed all Foundation Establishment elders of Wind Snow Palace, proclaiming the emergence of Ancestor Yuanying, who would soon arrive at the Wind and Snow Palace Mountain Gate.

He instructed all Foundation Establishment elders of Wind Snow Palace to continue their roles, awaiting further instructions.

Such a declaration

profoundly shook An Ning, who had just made her guess.

This led An Ning to send a letter to He Song, inquiring whether he should rush back to Sunset Immortal City.

In An Ning’s opinion,

a well-established Golden Core Sect had suddenly produced an Ancestor Yuanying.

Moreover, this Ancestor Yuanying was the previous Sect Leader of the Wind Snow Palace.

Such a monumental event could almost be termed an earth-shattering occurrence.”

He Song had stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm many years ago, and by now, his cultivation had at least reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm; he was someone with extensive experience and knowledge.

When faced with such a significant event, it was only natural that An Ning would subconsciously seek He Song’s opinion.

This was also the reason for her correspondence with He Song today.

Furthermore,

more than a year ago, He Song had told her that a crisis seemed to be imminent near Jinsha Immortal Lane.

Although An Ning did not know whether the crisis He Song spoke of was related to this Nascent Soul cultivator from the Wind Snow Palace,

since they coincided, there could indeed be a connection.

Of course, she could not fathom the reasons behind any of this.

She couldn’t understand how He Song could know that a crisis was about to descend near Jinsha Immortal Lane.

She also couldn’t comprehend how a real Nascent Soul cultivator could suddenly appear within Wind Snow Palace.

And she was even more puzzled as to why He Song had issued a warning to her more than a year beforehand.
