This power,

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

was what He Song had once shown to the world while disguised as Xuan Gui True Monarch.

Although many years have passed, his cultivation still appeared to be at the Early Jindan Stage, which was indeed somewhat low.

But it was inherently difficult for a Gold Core Cultivator to break through to the next realm.

It was even possible to encounter a bottleneck.

So it wasn’t an impossible occurrence.

Therefore, it wasn’t strange for He Song to return to the Smoke-Cloud State Mansion after many years, still displaying the cultivation level of the Early Jindan Stage while assuming the identity of Xuan Gui True Monarch.

Of course, there was another reason why He Song chose to conceal his cultivation at the Early Jindan Stage.

Given that He Song’s own cultivation had reached the Later Stage of Golden Elixir,

should anyone truly set their sights on He Song during this large-scale auction,

then, based on the Early Jindan Stage cultivation that He Song revealed, the attacker would likely only arrange forces sufficient to kill an Early Stage Gold Core Cultivator to ambush He Song.

Yet in reality, He Song’s power had already reached the Late-stage Golden Core.

In such a scenario,

those who came to ambush He Song would naturally be unable to pose any real threat to him.

In fact, it was highly possible for He Song to slay one of them and then safely leave the scene.

After all, a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator held crushing power over Early Jindan Stage cultivators.

Moreover, with the six Talismanic Treasures in He Song’s possession,

the possibility of instantly killing an ambushing Early Jindan Stage cultivator and then breaking through the encirclement to escape was very likely.

As a result,

not only could He Song ensure his own safety and avoid a truly matched ambush,

but he might also gain a bounty of precious treasures and a Cultivator’s Golden Core from those who sought to ambush him.

With no risks and the potential for great gains,

He Song naturally wouldn’t choose to expose his cultivation at the Later Stage of Golden Elixir.

By showing only the Early Jindan Stage of his cultivation, he could ensure his own safety as well as stand a chance to gain immense benefits.

After some consideration, He Song naturally couldn’t pass up such an opportunity.

With this thought, after He Song concealed his cultivation at the Early Jindan Stage,

he left behind a Divine Thunder Array in the valley as a contingency.

Only then did he leave the valley where he was and headed towards the distant Smoke-Cloud State Mansion.

Smoke-Cloud State Mansion.

When He Song transformed into tunneling light, streaking across the sky like a meteor and elegantly descending into Smoke-Cloud State Mansion,

the figure of Xiao Qing also quickly appeared before him.

Since He Song had previously informed Xiao Qing that he would arrive at Smoke-Cloud State Mansion today,

Xiao Qing had been waiting within the state mansion well in advance, quietly awaiting He Song’s arrival.

Up in the sky,

the tunneling light that was He Song came from the horizon, and upon seeing Xiao Qing, He Song adjusted his flight path towards her location.

As He Song quickly descended,

he landed before Xiao Qing.

When the tunneling light dissipated and He Song’s figure emerged,

Xiao Qing, who had already noticed He Song’s arrival but didn’t dare to be sure it was him due to the cover of the tunneling light,

finally saw He Song again after many years.

Seeing the figure of He Song which had not changed at all from years before, Xiao Qing quickly bowed and greeted him with respect.

“Xiao Qing pays respects to Sir.”

“Sir has come from afar, and Xiao Qing has failed to meet you earlier, I hope Sir will not take offense.”

He Song glanced at Xiao Qing, who was reverently standing before him,

and waved his hand slightly, indicating that she didn’t need to be overly courteous.

Then, he took out the Guest Elder Token he had received from Master Luo Jingzhen from his storage bag,

and gave it a brief shake in front of Xiao Qing.

In front of He Song,

Xiao Qing, who had been respectfully bowing to He Song, suddenly froze upon seeing the Guest Elder Token in his hand,

then a shade of embarrassment crossed her face.

She recognized the token.

The Treasure Pavilion Guest Elder Token.

No one would dare to fake such an item.

On the Guest Elder Token, there was a distinctive aura that, with just a slight sensing, one could discern its authenticity.

Therefore, when He Song saw the Guest Elder Token in Xiao Qing’s hand, she immediately realized that the token was genuine.

He Song indeed had, as he had claimed years earlier, deep connections with the Treasure Pavilion.

In fact, he had even become a Guest Elder at the Treasure Pavilion.

Years ago, when he had just made the acquaintance of Xiao Qing, He Song had mentioned his deep connections to the Treasure Pavilion, telling her to relay any messages to him.

But at that time, Xiao Qing,

due to her identity as a monk of the Jubao Pavilion, did not reveal anything to him.

Back then, Xiao Qing had made it clear that if there were any messages related to the Treasure Pavilion, she would absolutely refuse to pass them on to He Song.

And because of this,

when Xiao Qing saw He Song’s Guest Elder Token at this moment and confirmed his identity,

a tinge of embarrassment surfaced on Xiao Qing’s face.

Because she realized then

that everything He Song had said earlier was indeed the truth.

And her previous actions now seemed like an unnecessary intervention.

However, Xiao Qing soon recovered from her embarrassment, and her gaze turned curious as she looked at He Song.

She really had not expected He Song to be one of their own—and furthermore, a Guest Elder at one of the Main Pavilions of the Treasure Pavilion.

At that moment, by her side,

after confirming that Xiao Qing had seen the Guest Elder Token he was holding,

He Song also started speaking.

“I’ve mentioned before that I have deep connections with the Treasure Pavilion,” he said.

“This token can prove it,” he continued.

“This Guest Elder Token was a gift from a good friend of mine.”

“Now, you and I are practically one of our own.”

“In the future, if there are any messages, feel free to inform me, and I will not treat you unfairly.”

“You also don’t need to worry about me being a threat to the Treasure Pavilion.”

“As for now, you are the only acquaintance I have here, so you will guide me to the Treasure Pavilion and arrange accommodation for me,” he stated.

With a casual gesture, He Song soon signaled Xiao Qing to lead the way.

And Xiao Qing,

after hearing what He Song had said, her expression also flickered with a hint of realization.

Even at this moment, Xiao Qing was still absorbed in the fact that He Song was indeed one of their own and a Guest Elder at a Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion.

However, after listening to He Song’s words and seeing him gesture for her to lead the way,

she quickly snapped back to reality and began leading He Song towards the Treasure Pavilion.

As the two of them started heading towards the location of the Treasure Pavilion,

the atmosphere between Xiao Qing and He Song gradually started to lighten.

This time, He Song had intentionally revealed his identity as the Treasure Pavilion’s Guest Elder.

During his years at the Cloud State Mansion, He Song had also gained a lot of insight into the Treasure Pavilion.

Including various aspects of the status of a Guest Elder at the Treasure Pavilion, He Song was naturally very familiar.

Being a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion himself, he was naturally interested in what this identity could bring him.

From what He Song understood,

simply showing the Guest Elder Token of the Treasure Pavilion to prove one’s status,

actually wouldn’t reveal He Song’s identity.

The token of the Treasure Pavilion Guest Elder is more like an identification token with the owner’s information concealed.

Even if it is taken out and put in front of others for examination, the viewer will only realize that it is a token that can only be possessed by a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion.

As for the true identity of He Song, as well as which Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion had issued this particular Guest Elder Token,

these details were impossible for others to detect.

A Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion is solely affiliated with the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion they belong to.

If found within the premises of another Main Pavilion,

even if the Pavilion Master of that Main Pavilion were present, they would have no authority to demand anything of him.

This was something Master Luo Jing had told He Song when inviting him to join the Treasure Pavilion as a Guest Elder.

He Song also came to understand this thereafter.

What Master Luo Jing had said was indeed true.

And this was the very reason why he dared to reveal his status as a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion in front of Xiao Qing.

To produce the Treasure Pavilion’s Guest Elder Token, had no impact on He Song himself.
