Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation
Chapter 1233 - Chapter 1233 Chapter 818 Meng Guans Worries _2

Chapter 1233: Chapter 818: Meng Guan’s Worries _2 Chapter 1233: Chapter 818: Meng Guan’s Worries _2 Therefore, it was entirely normal for Meng Guan to speak of this matter with calmness.

However, the situation Meng Guan calmly described caused He Song’s expression to change.

Because according to He Song’s thinking,

once Yi Yangzi perished, if he truly had no successors, it was feared that further complications would arise.

After all, although according to He Song’s understanding, there must be some connection between the Sun Faction and the Nine Yang Sect,

since it had already been declared that the two sects had no relation,

then, it was likely that the Nine Yang Sect would need to use other channels to aid the Sun Faction.

That is to say,

before the assistance from the Nine Yang Sect had arrived,

the Sun Faction, both internally and externally, would inevitably experience a setback.

Such an incident could only be calmed when the assistance from the Nine Yang Sect arrived.

Otherwise,

with the strength of the Sun Faction when there was no Ancestor Yuanying presiding, it was hard to counter the external risks.

Moreover, the internal factions of the Sun Faction were likely not monolithic either.

Once internal strife occurred, it was feared that the situation would become even more troublesome.

Thinking of this, He Song had some idea of the future tribulations the Sun Faction would encounter.

If before Yi Yangzi’s demise, the Sun Faction had not cultivated a Nascent Soul cultivator, He Song’s conjecture would likely soon become reality.

Of course,

if before Yi Yangzi’s death, the Sun Faction managed to cultivate a Nascent Soul cultivator and held a Nascent Soul Meeting through this,

there would still be a chance for a turnaround.

After all, with a Nascent Soul cultivator in place, the Sun Faction naturally would not fear the external disturbances.

Nascent Soul cultivator,

in that small territory surrounding the Sun Faction,

still had the capacity to be an influential figure.

Although according to He Song’s current perspective, Nascent Soul cultivators in the Cultivation World were not rare,

but, if talking about the area around the Sun Faction, any Nascent Soul cultivator could likely dominate a region.

Therefore, whether the Sun Faction could cultivate a Nascent Soul cultivator before Yi Yangzi’s demise became key to this issue.

And realizing this, He Song seemed to understand something in an instant.

The reason Meng Guan had come to seek him out was likely because of this matter.

After all, Meng Guan was a True Inheritance Disciple of the Sun Faction.

If one was to look for a powerful, exceptionally talented cultivator within the Sun Faction before Yi Yangzi’s demise, who would they think of first?

Meng Guan’s existence was certainly an unavoidable person.

Meng Guan was powerful, daring in battle, and had remarkable military exploits in the great battle against the God Locking Sect.

Moreover, due to the development of his own strength afterward, he successfully became a True Inheritance Disciple of the Sun Faction.

Given such circumstances,

if He Song were Yi Yangzi, He Song would also place Meng Guan in a very prominent position when choosing a successor.

As for others within the Sun Faction,

as long as they were powerful, with excellent talents, they also had opportunities.

Thinking of this,

He Song naturally realized why Meng Guan had come.

It was feared, that Yi Yangzi within the Sun Faction, shared the same thought as He Song.

Yi Yangzi also likely placed Meng Guan in a very prominent position among the successors.

Only He Song did not know,

within the Sun Faction, exactly how many people, like Meng Guan, had caught Yi Yangzi’s eye.

And among these people, how many were exceptionally talented and powerful cultivators.

Having realized this,

a gleam of understanding also flashed across He Song’s eyes.

Immediately afterward, He Song directly asked,

“Yi Yangzi is about to reach the end of his lifespan and perish.”

“And within the Sun Faction, there is no second Nascent Soul cultivator.”

“Presumably, knowing his time is short, he would also begin selecting a successor within the Sun Faction.”

“And Fellow Daoist, as a True Inheritance Disciple of the Sun Faction, is unmatched in strength within the Golden Elixir Realm.”

“However, it is only lacking a bit in terms of Spiritual Root Aptitude.”

“It seems that within the Sun Faction, the number of successors chosen by Yi Yangzi certainly isn’t limited to just one Fellow Daoist,”

“Fellow Daoist, your visit here is probably to vie for the position of successor, isn’t it?”

“However, I know nothing about the internal situation of the Sun Faction, so I’m afraid I will need you to describe it.”

“Only then might I be able to offer some thoughts.”

Turning his gaze to Meng Guan in front of him, He Song spoke up to this point, then said no more, merely picking up his tea cup and gently taking a sip.

Seeing the change in He Song’s expression, as well as what he said subsequently,

Meng Guan and Wei Fan both showed expressions of joy at this moment.

The situation within the Sun Faction, as described by He Song, was hardly different.

Yi Yangzi indeed knew that his days were numbered and had already begun choosing his successor.

But this time, it was much earlier than He Song had anticipated.

Long before Meng Guan and Wei Fan had joined the Sun Faction, Yi Yangzi had already started the selection process.

Previously, Yi Yangzi had always felt vigorous, believing there was no need to make a quick decision.

Thus, he had always been observing.

However,

As time went on,

Seeing that he had already tried all sorts of heavenly materials and various spirit elixirs that could extend lifespan,

And could no longer use external means to increase his own lifespan,

Yi Yangzi finally realized that perhaps his life was drawing to a close,

This was when Yi Yangzi informed those within the Sun Faction.

And, he also began choosing his successor among these people.

Of course, the news about Yi Yangzi’s impending end of life had not yet been widely spread.

As of now, other than the members of the Sun Faction, only cultivators deeply connected with the Sun Faction like He Song were aware of this.

But, the impending end of a Nascent Soul cultivator’s lifespan can hardly be hidden from others.

After all, the Sun Faction has Nascent Soul cultivators.

Other sects naturally also have Nascent Soul cultivators present.

And these Nascent Soul cultivators may either be contemporaries of Yi Yangzi or possibly younger than him.

But, they would always remember Yi Yangzi’s lifespan and silently calculate it in their hearts.

Thus,

These people just need to know Yi Yangzi’s current lifespan and add those life-extending items Yi Yangzi could obtain based on his power,

They could calculate how long Yi Yangzi still had to live.

And this was the reason why Yi Yangzi chose to inform the people of the Sun Faction that his lifespan was nearing its end.

Because he knew,

Even if he did not tell them,

The other sects’ Nascent Soul cultivators would be aware.

And faced with his impending lifespan, these people might even spread rumors.

So it would be better for him to openly disclose it and quickly choose a successor within the Sun Faction to be the next Nascent Soul cultivator.

And this was why He Song knew today that Yi Yangzi’s lifespan was nearly exhausted.

Furthermore, He Song’s earlier guess that Yi Yangzi saw potential in more than just Meng Guan among the Sun Faction cultivators,

Was correct.

Meng Guan is strong,

But his spiritual root aptitude is really poor.

Having Five Spirits Roots, if it were someone else, Meng Guan would likely struggle even in Foundation Establishment,

Let alone become a Gold Core Cultivator with astonishing combat prowess now?

Therefore, in the eyes of others, although Meng Guan is strong, his aptitude is indeed very poor.

Within the Sun Faction,

Though there are no geniuses with Earth Spirit Root or Heavenly Spirit Roots among this generation of disciples and elders,

There are quite a few with three spirit roots.

In such circumstances, Yi Yangzi also set his sights on several individuals whose cultivation had reached the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm and whose spiritual root aptitude belonged to the top tier among those with three spirit roots.

Although these individuals were not as powerful in combat as Meng Guan, their spiritual root aptitude was indeed much stronger than Meng Guan’s.

In such a case, if a compromise were to be made, the gap between Meng Guan and these individuals wouldn’t be considered too large.

Of course, as the only True Inheritance Disciple of the Sun Faction,

Meng Guan is naturally more favored by Yi Yangzi, which is beyond any doubt.
