Instead, it would last longer due to the weakened intensity of the bombardment.

As He Song continuously assigned spirits to the Golden Elixir Nucleus with his divine sense, time slowly passed.

It was when He Song began to break through to the Golden Elixir Realm that things started to change.

As time passed in the outside world, it also began to be filled with turmoil.

Soon.

Since He Song had not informed anyone before closing himself off to break through to the Golden Elixir Realm, he deliberately left his Sound Transmission Amulet outside the quiet room.

Even the channel for receiving sound-transmitting paper cranes was completely sealed by He Song.

As a result, someone soon discovered He Song’s abnormality.

The first to find out was Su Qian.

As usual, Su Qian sent a letter to He Song every month, informing him of various information around the Eight-vein Immortal City.

Yet, one month went by, and after she had sent two consecutive letters to He Song due to a major event happening near the Eight-vein Immortal City, Su Qian realized that He Song had not responded once, so she discovered He Song’s disappearance.

In the past, He Song would reply with a sentence whenever she informed him of such emergencies.

He Song did so because he needed Su Qian to continuously provide him with the latest news, and by responding, he didn’t neglect her.

But now.

After sending the news about a major event that took place around the Eight-vein Immortal City, He Song gave no response whatsoever.

When she gradually realized that something was wrong, Su Qian quickly sent another Sound Transmission Amulet to He Song.

However, when He Song still didn’t respond, Su Qian only felt a sudden buzzing in her mind.

Following that, various conjectures emerged in her mind.

Could it be that He Song had met with an accident?

Perhaps He Song was now in a critical stage of seclusive cultivation?

Maybe He Song couldn’t be bothered to deal with her anymore?

Could it be…

In just a short moment, Su Qian’s mind flashed with countless thoughts.

But in the end.

After forcing herself to calm down, Su Qian dared not make wild guesses about He Song’s current situation.

However, after considering it, Su Qian decided to continue transmitting messages to He Song every month.

Only, when sending messages, she must not expose her location and identity anymore.

After all, if He Song had truly died,

The person responsible must be of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

And moreover, a powerful existence within the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If she let the other party know about her existence and have them track her down, it would be a huge problem.

Under these circumstances, Su Qian made up her mind to continue sending messages to He Song about the situation around the Eight-vein Immortal City every month.

However, as she transmitted information now, Su Qian had completely concealed her existence and did not have to worry about anyone finding her due to the messages.

She was very cautious about this.

In addition to Su Qian realizing He Song’s disappearance while constantly sending messages to him, the other few friends who kept in touch with He Song also noticed his current situation.

Meng Guan, upon not receiving a reply from He Song after sending a message, immediately thought he might be undergoing seclusive cultivation.

As for encountering any crisis or perishing, Meng Guan never considered these possibilities.

With He Song’s caution, such situations would be unlikely to occur.

As someone well acquainted with He Song, he naturally understood this.

Therefore, Meng Guan did not investigate further and put the matter to the back of his mind.

Besides Meng Guan and Su Qian, Ping’er and Master Qing Yue also noticed He Song’s abnormality.

However, they were now deep in the mire of war and had no time to spare.

Thus.

After He Song “disappeared,” the turbulence in the outside world continued with the passage of time.

The war between the Righteous Alliance and the Demonic Alliance became increasingly fierce as time went on.

In the past, the intervention of a Golden Elixir Master would be a significant event.

Now.

As the war between both sides reached a fever pitch, the number of interventions by Golden Elixir Masters also increased with time.

Perhaps today it would be a Golden Elixir Master from the Righteous Alliance making a move and dominating in all directions.

And by tomorrow, a Golden Elixir Master from the Demonic Alliance would make a move, sending chills down the spines of numerous Righteous cultivators.

Both sides had Golden Elixir Masters come and go, pushing the entire battlefield to new heights.

Especially the fights between the Golden Elixir Masters on both sides, each one was extremely intense.

Presumably.

Both the Demonic Alliance and the Righteous Alliance must have been pressured by their respective Nascent Soul Upper Sects behind them, which was why they put forth such efforts.

As time went on, both sides seemed to be growing more serious.

Golden Elixir Masters were frequently taking action.

Even when confronting each other, Golden Elixir Masters no longer fought one-on-one like before; they soon began the group battle mode.

Two Golden Elixir Masters would join hands to launch surprise attacks on the enemy’s Golden Elixir Masters.

Although this approach could not effectively kill the enemy’s forces, it could quickly defeat the enemy’s Golden Elixir Masters and force them to flee.

In this way, it could significantly boost morale while making the “fleeing” Golden Elixir Master the laughingstock of the opposing cultivators.

The battle situation between both parties seemed to be limited to this extent.

For an extended period, the Golden Elixir Masters of both sides were almost attacking each other secretly but, due to the insufficient number of Golden Elixir Masters, they were unable to hold back their opponents.

As a result, the original tense battlefield started to become strange with this situation unfolding.

Both sides seemed to not be fighting a war but rather slapping each other’s faces.

Whichever side had been slapped more viciously seemed to be winning the war.

However, after one incident when the Righteous Alliance secretly gathered four Golden Elixir Masters and brutally killed a lone Golden Elixir Master from the Demonic Alliance, the situation of progressively going towards “face-slapping” fights completely reversed.

After extinguishing one Golden Elixir Master of the Demonic Alliance, the Righteous Alliance’s five Golden Elixir Masters faced only three Golden Elixir Masters from the Demonic Alliance, creating a significant power gap between the two sides.

With such a power gap, the advantage of the Demonic Alliance was enormous.

Even though the Demonic Alliance had been ferocious before, with one less Golden Elixir Master in the face of the Righteous Alliance, they could only assume a defensive stance.

After this battle, the three Golden Elixir Masters of the Demonic Alliance seemed to have developed a fear of isolation. Whenever they appeared, it was always together, no longer giving the Golden Elixir Masters of the Righteous Alliance a chance to catch one alone.

However, because of this, the situation of the Demonic Alliance began to deteriorate.

Since the three Golden Elixir Masters almost always appeared as a group, the territory they could cover was naturally limited.
