#939 - Crisis, plan!

Cangshan Immortal City.

After returning to Cangshan Immortal City, Wei Hong immediately entered his own cave and closed himself off from the world.

The stone door of the cultivation room closed with a bang behind him, as if isolating the noise and disturbances of the outside world.

However, his heart could not calm down, and those intelligence reports obtained from soul searching kept swirling in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, and his back couldn't help but feel a little chilly.

There was no way, this news was too scary.

The State of Chu was actually preparing to invade the Great Ye Dynasty where they were located.

Wei Hong had finally managed to avoid the great battle between the Blood Spirit Sect and Cangshan Immortal City, and thought he could live a stable life for a while, but he didn't expect this greater crisis to surge towards him like a raging tide, making it impossible for him to avoid it.

The State of Chu was a demonic cultivation country. The thought of the upcoming war between the monks of the two countries made him feel a burst of panic. As a Golden Core cultivator, once a war broke out, the Golden Core cultivators would undoubtedly be the primary targets.

Although the Immortal Cultivation World was vast and boundless, his foundation was here.

Moreover, he had just taken the position of guest elder of Cangshan Immortal City, and his connections and resources had just taken root and sprouted here.

How easy would it be to escape?

"A war between two countries is a hundred times more dangerous and turbulent than a great battle between two major forces. A little carelessness may lead to death. This matter must be treated with utmost caution."

He paced back and forth in the cave, his brows furrowed, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, while various thoughts were also turning in his mind.

The State of Chu was a demonic cultivation country, and there were two more Nascent Soul Sects than the Great Ye Dynasty. In addition, the methods of demonic cultivators were unpredictable, making them hard to guard against. Once a war broke out, it would definitely sweep through the entire Great Ye Dynasty, and even the sect forces on the Great Ye Dynasty's side might be defeated one after another. The degree of danger was absolutely unimaginable.

Once Cangshan Immortal City was also forced to join the war, he would inevitably have to join it.

At that time, as a Golden Core cultivator, he would have to face the Golden Core demonic cultivators directly.

The thought of this made Wei Hong feel uneasy.

He might not be afraid of one or two demonic cultivators, but once he was besieged by multiple demonic cultivators, or if they acted unreasonably and directly dispatched a Golden Core late-stage demonic cultivator, wouldn't he be in danger of falling?

"No, I must never participate in the war if I can avoid it. Preserving my own life must be the top priority!"

Wei Hong's mind raced, and he began to think about other escape routes: "Or, should I leave the Great Ye Dynasty?"

"No, this is not appropriate. Let's wait and see."

The thought of leaving the Great Ye Dynasty had just arisen in his mind, but he immediately suppressed it.

Rushing around rashly was not a good thing, and in this chaotic situation, it was easy to encounter more dangers.

Those demonic cultivators and rogue cultivators hidden in the dark might all emerge when he left.

Moreover, he didn't know where to run at all. Leaving the Great Ye Dynasty might not be a good thing.

After thinking about it, Wei Hong could only suppress the idea of leaving, and then decided to actively prepare for war. He knew that only if his own strength was strong enough could he save his life in this war.

"The State of Chu is only secretly preparing for the invasion at this time. It seems that the war will not break out in a short time, so there is still a little buffer time."

"What's more, the Great Ye Dynasty has not received any news. I don't have to be too nervous at this time!"

"Since this is the case, then I should start cultivating those two secret techniques, and the defensive shield magic weapon should also be refined as soon as possible!"

Various ideas and arrangements began to emerge one by one, and Wei Hong quickly adjusted his mentality.

Since he couldn't avoid it, he could only actively prepare for war.

Previously, he had obtained two secret techniques from the trade fair. One was an explosive desperate secret technique, and the other was the [Six Armor Secret Blessing Technique], which was a divine soul defense secret technique, but most of it was incomplete.

As long as he successfully cultivated these two secret techniques, his ability to protect his life and means would be immediately improved a lot. Then, even if the war really broke out, he would no longer have to fear the demonic cultivators' strange methods.

In addition, Wei Hong also obtained a refining method for a defensive shield magic weapon.

That was a growth-type magic weapon, extremely rare and precious.

As long as the magic weapon was refined, his strength could also be improved a lot, and it was still a shield magic weapon, enough to make his defense ability soar again.

However, all of this must be based on the premise that he could refine the magic weapon.

"Among the four arts of immortal cultivation, I have spent less energy on refining weapons. Now that I want to refine magic weapons myself, it seems that I must invest more vitality points."

Wei Hong thought for a moment and found that his demand for vitality points was still expanding infinitely.

In the past, he had invested most of his energy in the three skills of alchemy, talisman drawing, and formation, and he had less practice in weapon refining.

With his current weapon refining skills, he could only refine spiritual weapons at most, but he could not refine magic weapons.

Therefore, if he wanted to refine the shield magic weapon, Wei Hong had to first go to the library to select some third-order weapon refining methods, and at the same time absorb more weapon refining experience, so as to ensure that he could refine the magic weapon.

In this case, he would have to use more vitality points to improve the realm of weapon refining skills.

"It seems that the Myriad Serpent Abyss still needs to be visited frequently, otherwise the vitality points will not be enough."

Thinking this way, he actually had a lot to do. He had to cultivate, practice weapon refining, and take time to refine pills and draw talismans. At the same time, the acquisition of vitality points could not be neglected. All kinds of things put together were enough to keep him busy for a long time.

In this way, the unease in his heart also dissipated a lot.

However, Wei Hong also knew that once a war broke out, he had to find a way not to be involved in it, so he immediately thought: "Now it seems that the Great Ye Dynasty has not received much intelligence, and even does not know about the State of Chu secretly preparing for the invasion. Then I must pay close attention to the situation of the State of Chu next, and at the same time collect as much intelligence information as possible, so as not to fall into crisis without knowing anything."

No matter what the situation, it is always right to have enough intelligence information.

If he does not collect intelligence information, he will not know when the State of Chu and the Great Ye Dynasty will go to war.

What's more, he also wants to know some of the methods of the demonic cultivators of the State of Chu, and strive to know himself and his enemy, so as to be able to gain an advantage in the future war, at least to ensure that he will not be tricked by the demonic cultivators for no reason.

Even, Wei Hong was still thinking about whether he should secretly spread the news that the State of Chu wanted to invade the Great Ye Dynasty.

"Wait a minute, find an opportunity later to spread the news and see what the three Nascent Soul Sects will react to."

The news must be spread, but this time can be appropriately delayed.

As long as the entire Great Ye Dynasty knows the ambition of the State of Chu, it is guaranteed that it will not be caught off guard.

After considering everything clearly, Wei Hong took out three jade slips from the storage bag.
