>One more thing, I tried out was first finding out a CI between state 1 and state 2 and then used this state to find a CI between state 2 and state 3. Do you think this could help me ?

No, in general this would not help though you may get close to the intersection you are searching. This really depends on the topology of PESes of states 1, 2, and 3.

Kind regards,

And if it does, I haven't been successful to locate a stationary point in 2000 or 3000 stationary point locations.
