Chapter 318: Chapter 310: Farewell, Old Friend
Translator: 549690339
Given this context, He Song had anticipated Lin Cong’s death.
As soon as Lin Cong failed in his Foundation Establishment, his fate had been determined.
However, only today had the final chapter of his life been written.
After putting away the piece of paper in his hand, He Song pondered for a moment, then left the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
He did not head straight to the valley where the Golden Elixir Array was located.
Rather, he journeyed on, traversing continuously through the mountains and forests, following the direction Lin Cong had left and kept moving forward.
While it is true that time has erased many traces of Lin Cong’s departure.
However, for a Foundation Establishment Master with divine sense.
It was relatively simple to trace the path of a group of dozens of people who were incessantly moving forward in the woods four years ago.
It was unusual to see Lin Cong leave with his family, forming a group of dozens of people, at the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
Moreover, He Song knew the direction Lin Cong took when he left.
As such, finding the path that Lin Cong had traveled was not a problem.
Even more so.
Under the exploration of the divine sense, the traces of the movement of dozens of people are still clear to this day.
Following these traces, He Song relentlessly advanced and quickly left the perimeter of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
He entered the mortal world.
Lin Cong seemed to have chosen the route for this journey beforehand.
He Song followed all the way but saw that the traces of movement of these dozens of people almost formed a straight line, extending directly in a certain direction.
Seeing this, He Song continued to move forward.
But when he followed the traces of these dozens of people and entered a mortal city.
The traces of these people’s movements had disappeared completely, and it was impossible to track them further.
Faced with this situation.
After some contemplation, He Song quickly realized what happened.
As a loose cultivator, Lin Cong naturally had some enemies.
Even according to He Song’s guess, those enemies were likely lifelong mortal enemies.
While Lin Cong was alive, he would naturally be fearless.
But once he died, if these enemies came knocking, it would probably result in the extermination of his family in an instant.
In such circumstances, how could Lin Cong brazenly show the path he took with his family when leaving the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion?
The route that He Song had been following might have been intentionally left by Lin Cong.
According to He Song’s guess, after entering this city with his family, Lin Cong probably used some method to immediately take his family away from this city.
And this was most likely the reason that the traces of the movements of these dozens of people disappeared almost instantly here.
Without a trace, naturally, there was no way to continue tracking.
As such, He Song was somewhat satisfied with Lin Cong’s caution.
“Not bad, although Mr. Lin seemed impulsive at times, in reality, he was quite cautious.”
“To have reached the Qi Refining Great Perfection in Green Wall Immortal City and lived in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion until the end of his lifespan truly speaks to his capabilities.”
Since he is unable to investigate any further.
Then he would not investigate further.
After giving up tracking where Lin Cong’s family is now, He Song leisurely roamed around this mortal city.
Then suddenly he took out the letter he had just received today, which Lin Cong sent to him upon his death.
He flipped it over to the densely written side.
A simple map appeared before He Song’s eyes.
A few lines of handwriting were also under the simple map.
“This is where my descendants live. If you have leisure time, you may visit
tnem.”
“If…if it has turned into ruins, I hope you can help bury them.”
“Thank you, Lin Cong.”
Looking at the simple map in front of him.
Then glancing once more at the few lines of script beneath the map, He Song remains calm.
But inwardly, he let out a sigh.
Until his death, Lin Cong had never considered asking him to take care of his descendants.
Giving their relationship, it was normal.
The connection between He Song and Lin Cong, in fact, lessened quite a lot after Lin Cong left the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
In He Song’s subsequent visits to the Green Wall Immortal City, although he met with Lin Cong and talked for a long time.
But after He Song established the foundation, due to his many busy undertakings, his contact with Lin Cong diminished greatly.
Subsequently, they lost contact for decades.
Given this, caring for his descendants may be a bit difficult for He Song. Lin Cong knew that asking a Foundation Establishment Master to care for his descendants was indeed a difficult request.
In conclusion.
Even this map.
Lin Cong only drew it on spec.
If He Song can indeed see this map and understand what is written on it, that would be ideal.
However, even if He Song doesn’t see this map or understand the words, it would still not matter.
Now, He Song has seen this map and also read what Lin Cong wrote after the map.
After a brief contemplation, He Song quickly set off for the place marked on the map.
Lin Cong had just died.
His descendants must be holding his burial ceremony.
If he rushes there now, perhaps he could witness Lin Cong being buried with his own eyes.
This would be seen as him bidding his old friend his last farewell.
With such a thought flashing in his mind, He Song’s pace instantly quickened.
Foundation Establishment Masters walk very fast.
In a moment, He Song had arrived at a place of beautiful mountain and clear waters.
This place was not in a city, but a small town.
Outside the town, there were good fields crisscrossed with paths, and rivers flowed by. The scenery was beautiful and the birds chirped and flowers bloomed nearby.
As Lin Cong said, this place was indeed a geomantic treasure.
Moreover, this small town was far away from the mortal city. The internal strife in the mortal dynasties would probably not affect this place.
When He Song arrived, everyone in the Lin family in the town was mourning.
Seeing this situation, He Song stopped outside the town, concealed his figure, and silently observed everything happening in front of him.
Not until several days later, when all the processes were over, and after the people of the Lin family had left from the site of Lin Cong’s grave, did He Song appear silently in front of Lin Cong’s grave.
Without saying much, He Song looked over the tombstone and paused briefly on Lin Cong’s name.
Then he poured a cup of spirit tea, and murmured softly,
“Old friend, rest in peace.”
As He Song’s voice fell, his figure also disappeared from the scene.
In the original place, only a lonely grave stood silently in the crow’s call.
He Song left.
He left the little town where the Lin family lived.
He also left the range of the city where this small town was located.
He Song casually found a mountain peak and drank with the sky on top of the peak.
When the tea was dilute, he quietly went underground.
After operating the Dust Conversion Table, the Purple Sky Meditation Skill, and the Breath Concealment Skill, he stealthily headed towards the mountain valley where the Golden Elixir Array was located.
The Dust Conversion Table allowed He Song to merge with the surrounding soil and stones.
The Purple Sky Meditation Skill allowed He Song to avoid the detection of divine sense.
The Breath Concealment Skill could completely hide He Song’s own breath.
After using these three mana formulas, others almost completely lost their sensation of He Song.
In this situation, He Song quickly headed underground towards the valley where the Golden Elixir Array was located. Soon,
He Song had come near the Golden Elixir Array.
Since he had already maximized his concealment effect this time, He Song naturally approached the Golden Elixir Array courageously.
At a distance of only a few miles from the Golden Elixir Array, He Song finally stopped underground, facing the Golden Elixir Array in front of him, to continuously comprehend the mysteries of this array.
As an Array Path Master,
No, as an Array Path Master who has successfully arranged a Foundation Establishment Array, one can already be called an Array Path Master.
As an Array Path Master, He Song’s understanding of array tao was far beyond the past.
Therefore, even though the array in front of him was a Golden Elixir Array, his understanding of array tao had reached a profound level due to his deep understanding of array tao.
Therefore, he had his unique insights on the operation rules and array layouts of this array, even though he had never seen or learned it before.
The more you read, the more you understand.
It is the same principle for array tao.
He Song had been studying array tao for decades.
After so many years of continuous study, He Song’s understanding of array tao was far beyond that of ordinary people.
Moreover, all the knowledge of Array Tao Primary Introduction and Array Tao Introduction had been deeply imprinted in He Song’s memory. He could recall everything with a little review.
These pieces of knowledge were all basic knowledge of array tao, the most fundamental knowledge.
By mastering these, it was even possible to create one’s own array.
The so-called Golden Elixir Array was only created by more advanced array
Therefore, in He Song’s eyes, the Golden Elixir Array in front of him had become a tutor.
A tutor who put all her operations on the table, allowing He Song to comprehend at will.
However, the rarity of Array Path Masters and the remoteness of this place meant that only He Song was there to comprehend.
If there were more Array Path Masters,
If this place was not so remote,
If the news of a Golden Elixir Array existed here leaked out, this place would soon welcome many Array Path Masters.
However, when those Array Path Masters really came here, their task would probably no longer be like He Song, studying the array outside in detail.
If He Song’s guess was correct,
those Array Path Masters would directly start to break the array in order to get the opportunities behind the array.
At that time, the opportunities here might no longer have anything to do with He Song.
Therefore, while He Song was comprehending the Golden Elixir Array in front of him,
he occasionally paid attention to his surroundings to see if any other cultivators were coming.
Fortunately, as He Song was continuously comprehending, although Qi-refining cultivators occasionally passed by, most of them did not stay..
