Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

The six demon lords' faces were so gloomy they looked like they were about to drip water.

They ultimately underestimated Song Changsheng; facing a desperate situation, he was able to turn the tide in such a way.

They were defeated in this battle, and the defeat was complete, directly burying the future of the six great demon kingdoms.

Such a significant loss ultimately requires an explanation. After this battle, it's hard to say how many of them will be able to retain their positions as rulers.

In particular, the Golden-Eyed Demon Lord and the Soaring Dragon Demon Lord will likely be held accountable by the Demon Emperor.

Thinking of this, the others looked at the Golden-Eyed Demon Lord with a hint of sympathy. He was the one who orchestrated this operation, and the Yin Jue was also caused by him. The losses were the heaviest and the results the smallest.

This trip to the capital will most likely end badly.

In comparison, their situation is much better.

Song Changsheng withdrew his gaze, bowed to the surging Canglan River, and said in a deep voice, "If I have offended or disturbed you in these past few days, please forgive me, Water Lord. Once the war is over, I, Song, will definitely visit you in person to apologize."

After waiting for a while without receiving a response, he then tore through space with the nascent soul of the Blood Gu and left.

The Dragon Clan, as the most loyal tribe under the Merfolk, is not only powerful but also completely controls the entire Canglan River.

The threat posed by the coastal humans is greater than that posed by the demon race.

The Canglan River is so wide that its abundant water volume is enough to submerge any cultivation world along its southwestern bank.

Countless pre-war simulations and calculations showed that as long as the Alligator Dragon Clan was considered a variable, the battles always ended in a crushing defeat, with almost no chance of a comeback.

Regardless of the reason why the Dragon Clan remained inactive in this battle, the Nine Realms of the Southwest owe them a favor, and it's always right to adopt a humble attitude.

Personally visiting to apologize is not a joke; it's similar to paying respects to a powerful figure. If the aquatic peoples of the Canglan River are at peace for the next few hundred years, then the southwest will be at peace as well.

After he left, the figure of Canglan Shuijun slowly emerged from the river, looking in the direction he had left, seemingly lost in thought.

"Your Majesty has discerning eyes. Such a dead end has been turned around by Song Changsheng. Perhaps he really is the person you are looking for," said a hoarse-voiced cultivator dressed in black robes.

Upon hearing this, the Azure Water Lord did not respond, but simply gazed silently ahead.

Just as Song Changsheng had thought, before the war, both the demon race and the merman race had sent envoys to contact them, but he turned them away on the grounds that the seal on the South China Sea Ruins had loosened.

He couldn't just focus on the present; his vision had to be far-reaching enough to lead his people to survive the impending chaos. Song Changsheng was the first piece of gold he was betting on.

As it turned out, he made the right bet.

The next step is to continue investing, and to invest heavily!

……

In the blink of an eye, Song Changsheng had already returned to the Qingfeng Mountain battlefield.

The chaotic battle here is at its most intense. Clearly, even at this point, the demon race has not received orders to retreat and is determined to fight to the death.

Now that he has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, he has lost his original deterrent power on this battlefield.

Although they cannot take action, it does not mean they cannot influence the battlefield.

He flew to the center of the battlefield, released his immense pressure, took out the Blood Gu's nascent soul, and said in a deep voice: "The Blood Gu has been killed by me. The demon race's retreat is cut off. Everyone, just fight with all your might. This Qingfeng Mountain will be the burial ground for all demons!"

The sound, carried by the power of the Great Dao, clearly reached the ears of everyone on both the human and demon races. The battlefield fell silent instantly, and everyone's gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction from which the sound came.

Song Changsheng, dressed in green, stood atop the clouds, sword in hand, with a three-foot-tall child in his arms.

At first, I didn't quite realize what it was, but after looking closely, I realized that it wasn't a child at all, but a Nascent Soul cultivator!
It was only then that Shi Potian and the other cultivators noticed the huge change in Song Changsheng's aura.

"Nascent Soul...Nascent Soul True Monarch!"

No one knows who first broke the ice, but the cultivators of the Southwest Alliance were immediately excited, and their morale soared several notches.

On the other hand, the demons looked as if they had lost their parents, their faces extremely grim.

Blood Gu and Blood Soul were their trump cards for winning this battle. Now that one has been killed and the other has gone insane, do they really still have a chance to win?
Moreover, Song Changsheng said that their retreat route had been cut off. Is this true or false?
Panic quickly spread among the demons. Fortunately, those present were all seasoned demon kings who were able to maintain a degree of composure even in dire circumstances. If it were anyone else, their morale would have collapsed long ago in this situation.

"Don't panic! Song Changsheng has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. He wouldn't dare to attack us. Let's unite nearby and seize the opportunity to break through!" Xuan Yu, Zi Huan, and other leaders made the right decision in the shortest amount of time.

In the current situation, every single one of them who manages to break through is a chance.

However, the human race already had the upper hand, and now, encouraged and inspired by Song Changsheng, their morale had reached its peak. Everyone was burning with pent-up anger, so how could they easily let them leave?

In an instant, an even more brutal battle erupted.

After so much turmoil within and outside the demon race, their morale has finally collapsed. In their desperate attempt to save their lives, they resort to any means necessary, and their chaotic breakout ultimately leads to a complete collapse. Taking advantage of this opportunity, cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm, such as Shi Potian and Xuan Tingyu, begin a frenzied hunt.

In the past, with Xuan Yu and Zi Huan in command, there was no way the situation would have collapsed.

But they were forced into the battlefield at knifepoint, and their fragile trust had long since vanished. If you don't betray your teammates, you might be betrayed by others, and nobody dares to take that gamble.

They were all pillars of their respective tribes, and once they fell on the battlefield, their tribes would soon be divided up by other races.

They used to believe that the Demon Lord would protect their people, but after this battle, they no longer had such naive ideas. They could not rely on anyone, and their own survival was the only truth.

It was under this mentality of mutual scheming that the demons were defeated one by one. After a day and a night of fierce fighting, only a dozen or so demon kings escaped.

Of the six major demon kingdoms and nearly a hundred demon kings who participated in the battle, those who fled and those who stayed behind returned to the demon realm, with a survival rate of only 20%.

If even the top-tier combatants are like this, then the other lower-level demon races are even more so.

In order to buy time, these demon kings sounded the Nightmare Dragon Horn as they retreated. The beast horde, having lost their minds, began to frantically attack various cultivation realms, essentially selling them all out.

This means that all the millions of monsters that have crossed the river since the start of the great war have perished on the battlefield.

Most of the small and medium-sized clans in the six major demon kingdoms have had their bloodlines severed, and it may not be possible for them to recover their vitality for even a thousand years, let alone a few hundred.

This move was cruel enough, but its effect was immediate, attracting a large number of human Golden Core cultivators to return to defend.

Otherwise, at least half of these surviving demon kings would have remained.

The great victory at Qingfeng Mountain signifies that the entire southwestern battlefield has entered its final stage. Once the rampaging monsters are cleared out, this battle will be completely over.

At the same time, news of Song Changsheng's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage spread throughout the Nine Realms of the Southwest through various channels, causing jubilation throughout the Alliance. Such a scene would have been completely unimaginable in the past.

Because Nascent Soul True Monarchs are strategic forces that transcend class boundaries, apart from extremely self-centered individuals like Jade Dew True Monarch, the other True Monarch cultivators are highly bound to the word "power" from the moment they are born.

The various Golden Core factions were used to living freely in their own territories, and none of them wanted to suddenly have a "leader" above them.

But now, it's the same group of people, and they're cheering for Song Changsheng's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

As the saying goes, true friendship is revealed in times of adversity. Song Changsheng, the leader of the alliance, won everyone's trust and respect through his actions.

In this months-long battle, he only made two moves, but each time he pulled the Southwest Nine Realms back from the brink of collapse.

Every time, they risked their lives; every time, they defeated the most powerful enemy.

He was clearly the one with the most escape routes and the least need to risk his life.

But he chose to mold the scattered sands of the Southwest Nine Realms into bricks, and led them to victory after victory.

If the Nine Realms of the Southwest must have a leader, then that person's name must be Song Changsheng.

They genuinely believed that this exceptionally talented and visionary leader could lead the Southwest Nine Realms to glory!

At the same time, he gained the recognition of nine cultivation worlds, a feat that even the human kings of the Immortal Dynasty could not achieve.

This recognition is even more valuable than breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, Song Changsheng had no time to enjoy this glory at this moment, because his war was far from over.

He not only needed to go into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation, but also had to personally interrogate the remnants of the Blood Demon Cult, and he also needed to keep a close eye on the situation in the East China Sea.

Breakthroughs during wartime require racing against time, leaving many hidden health risks. If these risks are not addressed promptly, they can develop into insidious injuries that may not seem to affect the body normally but can cause serious problems at crucial moments. Therefore, they should never be taken lightly.

It took Song Changsheng a whole month to rebuild his foundation.

"How is the extermination of the demonic beasts going?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qingxi shook her head and said, "It's not ideal. Those demonic beasts are too scattered. It is estimated that more than 300,000 demonic beasts have entered the heartland of various cultivation worlds."

Tens of thousands of people from Daqi also poured in, but fortunately, they had consciously carried out a scorched-earth policy beforehand, so it did not cause too much damage.

However, clearing out these monsters was proving to be quite a challenge.

The most distinctive feature of the Southwest Nine Realms is its vast territory and sparse population. There are large areas of undeveloped wilderness within its borders. In such a large area, finding these tens of thousands of demonic beasts is no easy task.

But we can't just leave them alone; once they take root, they'll cause trouble sooner or later.

"The reconstruction of the cultivation world in Lu Kingdom needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Such a vast land cannot be left to waste."

Song Qingxi took out a jade slip and handed it to Song Changsheng. He sighed and said, "The ecology of the cultivation world in Lu Kingdom has been severely damaged by the demon race. To rebuild it, we need to gather the strength of the entire alliance. Right now, I think we should focus on eliminating the demon beasts and stabilizing the situation first. This matter cannot be rushed."

However, we allocated special personnel to search for mortals and exterminate demonic beasts. During your month-long seclusion, you rescued nearly two million mortals.

Upon hearing this, Song Changsheng felt a little heavy-hearted.

Two million people is indeed a lot.

But when the cultivation world of Lu Kingdom fell, at least tens of millions of people had not been evacuated, so two million was just a fraction of that.

But he also knew in his heart that Song Qingxi was right. Only by stabilizing the overall situation could they concentrate their efforts on rebuilding the cultivation world of Lu Kingdom.

He quickly scanned the information in the jade slip, and was soon drawn to a seemingly insignificant piece of information: "What is this demonic calamity recorded here?"

"Oh, it was discovered by cultivators from the Tianxiao Sect when they were searching for mortals. Hundreds of people in the entire village had been corrupted by demonic energy."

An investigation revealed that the source of the demonic energy was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, who has been eliminated. No further news has been received yet; the village is quite remote, so the demonic energy likely hasn't spread too widely.

The images he had seen during his tribulation involuntarily surfaced in Song Changsheng's mind. Among them was a record of a large-scale demonic calamity. The specific details were very blurry, but he vaguely remembered that this matter was related to Song Qingxing.

"This demonic energy is highly corrosive. The current state of the cultivation world in Lu Kingdom makes it most prone to the growth of monsters, so we must be on guard. Where is Qing Xing?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qingxi immediately became serious and quickly replied, "He is currently leading the clan guards to exterminate the demonic beasts."

Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

These matters can be left to the other guardians and garrison commanders of the Dharma Protectorate. You should immediately send a message to him, instructing him to personally go to the cultivation world of Lu Kingdom to investigate whether any other places have experienced demonic calamities.

"With the rapid movement of people these days, the consequences of letting demonic energy spread would be unimaginable. Don't take any chances," Song Changsheng solemnly warned.

He originally planned to make the trip himself, but considering what the Blood Demon Sect had done in the cultivation world of Lu Kingdom, he thought that this demonic disaster might be their doing, so he decided to interrogate them first.

This time, a large number of criminals were captured, including not only Blood Gu and Blood Soul, but also Soul Fiend and Blood-Eyed Crow. All the high-ranking members were wiped out in one fell swoop, truly uprooting them completely, and not even the small fry were spared.

I think I can find the answers to many of my long-standing questions by talking to them.

He was particularly curious about Hun Sha. How did she manage to survive and emerge from such a dangerous place as the Abyss for decades without a map?
Moreover, he obtained a peculiar elixir called "Mibodra" to awaken the Blood Soul and the other two. His intuition told him that Soul Sha's experience must have been extraordinary.

He was now eager to learn about the Abyss, after all, he still had something Feng Changqing had specifically instructed him to retrieve, and he would have to go there sooner or later.

The more you know, the more confident you'll feel.

In addition, Xu Yunhe and his wife are still in the abyss, many years have passed, and their current situation is unknown.

If there's a chance, we should bring them out.

We cannot let Xu Miaoyin lose her parents.

With this thought in mind, he appeared in the dungeon in an instant...

……

P.S.: An extra 4,000 words have been added, still 6,000 words are owed.

There will be a double monthly pass event from the 28th of this month to the 7th of next month, so please give it your support, fellow cultivators! (End of this chapter)
