Chapter 1396: Chapter 900: Looking Back at the Past Chapter 1396: Chapter 900: Looking Back at the Past As for the purpose behind Elder Phantom Snow’s remarks this ti,
He Song, after pondering briefly, also had so guesses in his mind.
His current identity wasn’t just that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator,
but he was also a longti friend of ng Guan, the newly appointed Yi Yangzi.
Under such circumstances,
if one day ng Guan wished to completely sever ties with Wind Snow Palace,
Elder Phantom Snow, by establishing a good relationship with He Song, might even be able to leverage it to influence ng Guan’s decisions.
In other words,
Elder Phantom Snow’s intention in speaking out this ti was actually to draw closer his relationship with He Song,
and by virtue of his relationship with He Song, he hoped to influence ng Guan’s future decisions.
However,
Elder Phantom Snow was unaware
that He Song had already noticed his presence long ago,
and after detecting it, had discreetly left the Vast Wave Secret Realm.
And ever since Elder Phantom Snow erged from seclusion, He Song had been cautiously avoiding him, never allowing himself to appear before Elder Phantom Snow.
In this way, his connection with this Nascent Soul cultivator was henceforth severed.
Under such circumstances,
Elder Phantom Snow was far more than just a passing acquaintance to He Song;
instead, he resembled an adversary that He Song had to avoid.
He Song, back then, had been forced to flee to distant lands because of Elder Phantom Snow’s ergence, even forgoing the opportunity to attend events such as the Nascent Soul eting, among others.
Therefore, He Song naturally harbored no good feelings towards Elder Phantom Snow,
and even felt so animosity.
And if Elder Phantom Snow’s current overture was an attempt to enhance his relationship with He Song,
then this flattery might just backfire.
Because at this mont, having heard what Elder Phantom Snow had said,
He Song felt not the slightest pride,
but rather, he felt that his decision to run imdiately upon sensing sothing amiss back then was utterly justified.
Nevertheless,
both were now Nascent Souls,
and Wind Snow Palace remained the bulwark of the Righteous Tao against the Northern Demon Taoists.
Therefore, although He Song harbored such thoughts,
having heard Elder Phantom Snow’s words,
he didn’t show any outward reaction.
After thinking briefly, he nodded as though suddenly realizing sothing.
“Vast Wave Secret Realm?”
“I did indeed spend so ti there in the past.”
“What a pity,”
“I soon found a place more suitable for myself, and thus quickly departed from there.”
“I hadn’t expected that Fellow Daoist had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm within the Vast Wave Secret Realm at that ti.”
“If I had known earlier…”
He Song stopped mid-sentence and did not continue,
using this statent instead to probe the Elder Phantom Snow before him.
Although, according to He Song’s estimation, Elder Phantom Snow had probably intended to draw him into Wind Snow Palace at that ti,
such speculations were always just that, speculations.
If he could get a definite confirmation from Elder Phantom Snow’s own words, that would naturally be more convincing than He Song’s guesses.
At the sa ti, He Song also wanted to know from Elder Phantom Snow why he hadn’t directly made a move on him back then.
Keep in mind,
if Elder Phantom Snow had already successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm at that ti and was in the process of consolidating his cultivation,
then he could have easily captured He Song and persuasively or forcibly urged him to join Wind Snow Palace back then.
But Elder Phantom Snow did not do so.
This fact instilled so curiosity in He Song regarding Elder Phantom Snow’s actions.
He wondered whether Elder Phantom Snow had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm and was worried he might not be able to stop a Gold Core Cultivator from sending out a distress signal,
or whether there were other reasons why Elder Phantom Snow had abandoned that idea.
However, as these thoughts briefly flitted through He Song’s mind,
upon hearing He Song’s words,
Elder Phantom Snow’s face also revealed a tinge of regret.
“What a pity,”
“Back then, when I successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, I did not perceive Fellow Daoist as one with such profound fortune and extraordinary cultivation.”
“Consequently, I was rely curious about Fellow Daoist’s various actions back then and felt so admiration for your caution,”
“without ever considering inviting Fellow Daoist to join Wind Snow Palace.”
“Otherwise, perhaps you would have joined Wind Snow Palace long ago.”
“And maybe by now, our palace could have had two Nascent Souls.”
Saying this, Elder Phantom Snow’s expression of regret deepened.
Seeing this developnt,
He Song internally relaxed.
At this mont, he seed to suddenly understand Elder Phantom Snow’s thoughts back then.
First of all,
while a Nascent Soul cultivator was unaware of a Gold Core Cultivator’s potential to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul Realm,
no Nascent Soul cultivator would go out of their way to pay particular attention to a Gold Core Cultivator right after their own advancent.
The gap between Gold Core and Nascent Soul, though only a single major realm apart,
was imnsely vast in terms of strength.
To any Nascent Soul cultivator, a Gold Core Cultivator barely amounted to an ant.
In such a situation,
that He Song could attract Elder Phantom Snow’s attention at all back then
was only because Elder Phantom Snow was in the midst of his Nascent Soul breakthrough within the Vast Wave Secret Realm, with no other cultivators around to draw his focus.
