Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation
Chapter 1052 - Chapter 1052 Chapter 728 Divine Thunder Annihilation

Chapter 1052: Chapter 728: Divine Thunder Annihilation Chapter 1052: Chapter 728: Divine Thunder Annihilation If Ghostfaced True Monarch concealed his true strength and revealed it at a critical moment, He Song might be unable to escape his fate.

After all, the level of cultivation He Song showed to the world was merely at the Golden Elixir Early Stage.

This level of cultivation.

If that Ghostfaced True Monarch turned out to be at the Later Stage of Golden Elixir, or even at the Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

Then, it was certain that He Song would be unable to escape his fate.

A difference in two minor realms of cultivation already granted an overwhelming power.

For a cultivator at the Later Stage of Golden Elixir to kill one at the Golden Elixir Early Stage was actually relatively easy.

Although there was also a possibility that the cultivator at the Golden Elixir Early Stage could successfully escape, it was after all a small probability event.

And if a cultivator at the Golden Elixir Great Perfection harbored the intent to kill one at the Golden Elixir Early Stage.

That Golden Elixir Early Stage cultivator would likely not even have the chance to flee.

If the reality was as He Song had considered.

Let alone Xiao Qing gathering a group of Foundation Establishment True Persons to surround and attack Ghostfaced True Monarch.

Even if He Song personally made a move, it would be hard to say whether he could defeat the opponent.

After all, a Gold Core Cultivator who could pretend to be weak to deceive enemies must be extremely confident in his own strength.

A cultivation at the Later Stage of Golden Elixir, or even Golden Elixir Great Perfection, was also highly probable.

In such a case, He Song’s persuasion might indeed save Xiao Qing’s life.

And following He Song’s advice.

After listening to what He Song said, Xiao Qing’s face immediately revealed a trace of shame.

As a Jubao Pavilion monk, she really should not have done so.

Even if she had just been fed a great deal of insight into breaking through to the Golden Elixir Realm by He Song, she could not rely on her identity as a member of the Jubao Pavilion to do such a thing to the Pavilion’s clients.

At this thought, Xiao Qing’s shame grew even deeper.

Although she had not explicitly said so earlier, asking He Song to either go on his own or take her to kill and rob others.

But the meaning in her previous words was indeed along those lines.

After all, without any reason, Xiao Qing would not casually mention the true strength of that Ghostfaced True Monarch.

The purpose of her words was actually because He Song had shared so much with her about breaking through to the Golden Elixir Realm.

Thus, she wanted to repay his kindness by hoping that He Song could gain much more in this place.

That way, she might also be able to share in the spoils, or obtain more treasures from He Song’s hands.

This was the true intention behind Xiao Qing’s previous words.

However, when He Song pointed out what she was thinking and began to advise her against it.

Xiao Qing immediately realized that her previous idea of attacking Ghostfaced True Monarch was indeed a bit unrealistic.

Therefore, once Xiao Qing confirmed that He Song was unwilling to make a move and also did not want her to take action.

She quickly made the right decision.

“Sir’s words, Xiao Qing will remember in her heart,” she said.

“I was presumptuous this time, and I hope Sir holds no grudge,” she continued.

“It was only because I was momentarily bewitched that such a thought occurred to me,” she confessed.

“Please rest assured, sir, Xiao Qing will definitely not use her identity as a person of the Jubao Pavilion to harm the Pavilion’s clients in the future,” she pledged.

“Sir’s admonishment is correct, my thoughts today almost led to a disaster,” she admitted.

“Without sir’s reminder, the consequences would have been hard to predict,” she agreed.

“If that Ghostfaced True Monarch is indeed a Golden Elixir Master, the situation would likely be difficult to resolve,” she conceded.

“Sir’s wisdom is as profound as a torch, Xiao Qing is in awe,” she praised.

A flicker of shame crossing her face, Xiao Qing decisively gave up her previous plan to rally her friends to rob and kill the Ghostfaced True Monarch.

As well as the subsequent idea of getting He Song to rob and kill the Ghostfaced True Monarch.

Since He Song had said so, Xiao Qing naturally would listen.

At the same time, Xiao Qing marveled in her heart.

This Xuan Gui True Monarch before her was indeed someone who was very cautious, yet also very righteous.

Cautious, because she could tell from He Song’s words that he hinted at the possibility of a conspiracy regarding this matter.

Before this, she had never considered the possibility of such a plot.

This showed the prudence and depth of He Song’s consideration and actions.

As for the righteousness.

It was because she could also hear, from He Song’s words, the firm conviction of the people of the Jubao Pavilion.

The people of the Jubao Pavilion, dealing with various treasures all year round.

As such, their desire for various treasures is actually far lower than that of many cultivators.

And it is also because of this that when facing treasures, the psychological resilience of the Jubao Pavilion people is much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.

In other words, the people of Jubao Pavilion normally would not harbor thoughts of killing over some treasures.

Only those whose willpower is not strong enough, or the temptation of the treasures in front of them is too great, would have such thoughts.

The previous Xiao Qing, was it not because she thought that Ghostfaced True Monarch was weak and carried valuables that she entertained such thoughts?

But what about He Song?

When she articulated that the Ghostfaced True Monarch might be weak and He Song could easily kill him and seize his treasures.

What did He Song say?

He said,

“Such an act of killing and robbing others is not what we, the people of the Jubao Pavilion, should do,” he stated.

He said,

“This would affect the Jubao Pavilion, causing harm to the reputation of the Pavilion,” he added.

He also said,

“The people of the Jubao Pavilion should not act in such a manner,” he concluded.

With such breadth of mind and such spirit, Xiao Qing formed a completely different impression of this Xuan Gui True Monarch before her from before.

In the past, Xiao Qing was grateful to He Song for giving her a Golden Armor Guard, feeling that He Song was a ray of light in her life, illuminating the path ahead of her.
