Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

The Boundless Heavenly Dao Tree, as the manifestation of Song Changsheng's own Great Dao, encompasses the Three Thousand Great Daos and has long been one of the most unique existences in this world.

In some ways, it could even be described as terrifying.

By knocking on the door of the Great Dao, one can become a patriarch in this world, establishing a lineage that lasts for generations. Reaching the pinnacle allows one to master the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao and ascend to immortality.

Each branch and each flower on the Heavenly Tree represents such a great path.

Dao flowers can help him mobilize the power of the laws of heaven and earth, enhancing his supernatural abilities and also aiding in his comprehension of the Great Dao.

The Dao flowers have withered and fallen, but the Dao fruits have been produced. Correspondingly, their effects have also undergone some changes, and Song Changsheng is now immersed in exploring these changes.

He and Feng Changqing followed the same path, using the principles of Yin and Yang to enter the Path of Boundless, and both planted the Tree of Boundless Dao. Their paths were almost identical.

However, he never gave Song Changsheng any guidance in this regard, hoping that Song Changsheng could see some different scenery on the same path.

However, he did provide a hint, which was the "Nascent Soul," as the Great Dao Fruit is closely related to the Nascent Soul.

Song Changsheng's condensed form is the one-in-a-million [Chaotic Nascent Soul]. Compared to other Nascent Souls, its most special feature is the [Chaotic Qi] derived from it, which is true innate Qi and is extraordinary.

Back then, Wu Jie used half his life to refine the Lesser Creation Pill, which he made using the classic alchemy of the Treasure Bottle Sect, to draw a trace of Innate Pure Qi into his body. This not only strengthened the power of his bloodline, but also transformed his "false infant" into a second nascent soul, and condensed the Heavenly Dao Tree into his second Dharma form.

Throughout the long history of humankind, it is estimated that no one else has been able to achieve this.

The [Current Qi] was born in the chaotic era before the separation of heaven and earth, and is in no way weaker than the [Primordial Pure Qi]. If this Primordial Qi is combined with his Great Dao Fruit...

Song Changsheng not only thought this way, he also did it.

He cautiously drew a wisp of the Chaotic Qi that enveloped his Nascent Soul, carefully approaching the unripe, trembling Yin-Yang Dao Fruit hanging on a branch of the Boundless Dao Tree.

Before he could get close enough, the Dao Fruit impatiently devoured and absorbed him, and its surface began to show distinct black and white colors.

A strange golden character can be faintly seen on its surface.

Although he didn't recognize it, he had seen similar characters more than once. The first time was when Song Xianming reached the Purple Mansion stage. He used the [Eye of Illusion] to peer into the Heavenly Dao and saw a large number of characters hidden in the purple aura.

He tried his best to memorize just one character, "Dao," which he wrote down and hung in the most conspicuous place in the Ruyun Hall.

The second time he saw it was when he took the Enlightenment Pill. He still couldn't understand the characters, but he could clearly understand the meaning they contained. Thus, the Boundless Great Dao began.

At this moment, the character that appeared on the Dao Fruit was of the same origin as them, and he named it "Dao Script", that is, the script manifested by the Heavenly Dao.

"So, what surprises can you bring me?" Song Changsheng stared at the character that had not yet fully manifested, and then drew in a wisp of [Chaotic Qi], filling his heart with anticipation.

Gradually, the character on the Dao Fruit took shape completely, and he was completely immersed in it after just one glance.

This simple drawing, resembling a child's scribbles, contained boundless and vast information in his eyes, pointing directly to the essence of the Yin-Yang Dao.

He was like a dried-up sponge, greedily absorbing everything and forgetting everything else.

The Dao Fruit trembled slightly, drawing all the Yin and Yang energies around it to gather beside Song Changsheng, forming a black and white mixed disc that floated in front of him.

Golden runes emerged from between his eyebrows, forming the Eight Trigrams, which then arranged themselves into mysterious hexagrams.

As the two sides of the disc began to evolve with the hexagrams, the yin and yang energies flowed continuously. Over time, they eventually formed a black and white world with yang above and yin below, like the division between the mortal realm and the underworld.

Although it was only a square foot in diameter, it was a complete world because Song Changsheng had completed the laws governing it!
This is his second attempt to evolve a world of laws. The first time was after taking the Enlightenment Pill, when he used the Three Thousand Great Daos as a foundation to construct and evolve a nearly complete world of laws within his sea of ​​consciousness, thus opening the door to the Yin-Yang Great Dao.

Unfortunately, at that time he was only a Golden Core cultivator, and was not able to withstand the enormous consumption brought about by the evolutionary laws, so he failed at the last minute.

This time, he used the Yin-Yang Great Dao as his foundation, manifesting the Yin and Yang realms, and reversing the Three Thousand Great Daos from nothing to something, finally making up for the regrets of the past.

"When Yin and Yang combine, all things are born; all things are immeasurable; and immeasurable is Yin and Yang."

"This... should be my path." Song Changsheng murmured to himself, a sudden realization dawning on him, like the sun breaking through the clouds.

He slowly opened his eyes, looking at the disc-shaped black and white world in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly.

Although the laws of this world are nearly complete, he still feels that something is missing.

The scene he had seen in the Jade of Reincarnation immediately flashed into his mind, and a smile appeared on his face. He instantly had the answer.

"Yes, it still lacks a bit of vitality and... a bridge to connect the two worlds."

With a flick of the finger, a vibrant life force landed on a point in the "underworld." Driven by the laws of the world, this life force transformed into a seed that sprouted from the soil and then grew rapidly until it connected the Yin and Yang realms.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that this towering tree is exactly the same as his Dao tree.

Yin is emptiness, Yang is fullness.

"Right now you are just a virtual realm. Once you evolve into a true grotto-heaven world, my Dao will be complete." Song Changsheng murmured softly.

It was like talking to oneself, or perhaps speaking to this empty world of Yin and Yang.

"After much thought, I believe this is the most suitable vessel for you, since you both originate from the same source." He flipped his hand and took out the [Tai Chi Eight Trigrams Diagram], unfolded it, and placed it over this celestial realm.

"Boom!"

The moment the two merged, Cangmang Peak suddenly began to shake violently without warning. The originally clear sky was shrouded in dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the wind howled. Countless trees around Cangmang Peak were uprooted.

Sensing the threat, the mountain-protecting formation activated on its own, enveloping Cangmang Peak and several surrounding side peaks.

"buzzing"

The newly integrated Tai Chi Bagua diagram also began to tremble violently, its surface radiating brilliant light.

"So it was you who attracted this heavenly tribulation." A glint of light flashed in Song Changsheng's eyes; this was truly beyond his expectations.

This [Tai Chi Bagua Diagram] was born when he evolved the Heavenly Dao Tree. It can be considered a manifestation of his own Great Dao. Over the years, it has been his strongest defensive trump card, helping him survive several near-death experiences.

Although he used it as a ritual implement, he knew very well that it was not a real ritual implement, and he himself did not know how to define it.

Now it has actually attracted a heavenly calamity!

Generally speaking, only magical artifacts that reach the level of the Xuanlei Ancestor can attract heavenly tribulation. After undergoing the tribulation, the artifact spirit undergoes a transformation and becomes an independent being.

However, the Taiji Bagua Diagram has no spirit, which means it cannot be upgraded to a Dao artifact, let alone attract a heavenly tribulation.

Therefore, the origin of this calamity seems rather strange.

Song Changsheng inexplicably recalled the scene when Wu Jie refined the Lesser Creation Pill. A mere fourth-order pill actually attracted a heavenly tribulation that was even more powerful than the Golden Core Tribulation.

It is only because its existence has touched upon the taboos of the Heavenly Way.

"Could it be that your existence has also become a taboo of the Heavenly Dao?"

Looking at the Tai Chi Bagua diagram in front of him, Song Changsheng frowned.

The void world he had just evolved had completely merged with him. If it were destroyed by this calamity, it would not be just a simple picture that would be destroyed; his "Dao" would also be buried with it.

Gazing at the churning clouds in the sky, he couldn't help but feel an extreme surge of anger.

His "Dao" is derived from the Dao of Heaven. This is an act in accordance with the Dao of Heaven, and there is no act against Heaven. Why then is it a taboo? Why must it be destroyed?

Anger surged in Song Changsheng's eyes as he stared at the cloud of calamity, but a deep sense of powerlessness filled his heart.

No matter how unwilling you are, who can transcend the laws of nature?

"Swish"

The Tai Chi Bagua diagram transformed into a streak of light that shot straight toward the calamity clouds.

"boom--"

A thick bolt of lightning crashed down, instantly shattering the layer of spiritual light covering the surface of the [Tai Chi Bagua Diagram].

"Boom boom boom"

Without the slightest pause, several more bolts of lightning struck down in succession, each one stronger than the last, illuminating the entire world with terrifying light.

The thousands of cultivators in Lingzhou looked at the dark, oppressive clouds in the sky and felt their souls tremble. Many even knelt down and prayed to the heavens.

The Tai Chi Bagua diagram is like a small boat in a tsunami, which may be swallowed up by the thunderous ocean at any time.

This heavenly tribulation unleashed a total of thirty-six bolts of lightning, leaving all who witnessed it terrified. Even the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage was no more severe than this.

In this situation, even if Song Changsheng himself were to undergo tribulation, he would probably be blasted into nothingness.

Unexpectedly, the Tai Chi Bagua diagram was not destroyed; instead, after absorbing the power of the heavenly lightning, its aura became even stronger.

When the storm clouds dispersed, the heavens sent down sweet rain.

The cracked surface of the Tai Chi Bagua diagram slowly healed, and the shattered Yin-Yang realm within it was reassembled, with the addition of a trace of calamity energy that it had never possessed before, making this world even more real.

When it fell back into Song Changsheng's hands, its powerful Daoist aura startled him.

Just as I was about to investigate, the sky, which had just cleared up, was once again filled with dark clouds.

"There's more?" Song Changsheng was startled, but he quickly noticed something. This tribulation was far less severe than the previous one, and it even felt somewhat familiar.

"This is... the Golden Core Tribulation?"
