Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"Uncle Master, after saying so much, what force is behind the Luoxia Auction House?" Niu Dazhuang on the side asked impatiently.

"Behind Luoxia Auction House stands the Li family, a powerful cultivation family with a history of ten thousand years."

"Li family? Why have I never heard of it?"

Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang both looked confused.

The Zi Yu Realm is so vast that in order to prevent young cultivators from being too ambitious, apart from the well-known holy places, ancient sects, immortal clans, and several surrounding cultivation realms, they don't actually know much about this world.

This Li family has already touched upon their blind spots in knowledge.

Mu Guibai also knew this, and said leisurely: "After achieving the Purple Palace, you have a certain ability to protect yourself in this world, and you can slowly begin to understand some things."

He stood up, stretched out his hand and gently waved it in the air. A brilliant golden light emerged, filling the entire hall.

These golden lights quickly gathered together, eventually forming a map in the air that was a hundred feet long, several feet wide, and extremely detailed.

The names of the cultivation world are marked on the map, some are familiar, some are unfamiliar.

In short, what appeared before the two was a huge and vast world.

Mu Guibai pointed to an inconspicuous area in the southwest corner of the map and said, "The Great Qi Cultivation Realm is here, adjacent to the Demon Realm in the west, with the Canglan River as the boundary, separating the two banks.

To the north is the Lu cultivation world, to the northeast is the Gusu cultivation world, and to the southeast is the Dayu cultivation world. Of our four cultivation worlds, except for the Gusu cultivation world, the other three are bordering the demon race.

We constitute the southwesternmost line of defense of the human cultivation world.

And behind us, there are hundreds of cultivation realms."

Mu Guibai's finger slowly moved across the map in the air, and Song Changsheng's gaze followed it. Dali, Da Zhou, Da Qian... Each of these cultivation worlds is extremely large, and several of them even have Nascent Soul True Lords or even God Transformation Supremes in charge.

Finally, Mu Guibai's fingertips stopped at a specially marked area.

Song Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said, "The Great Xiao Cultivation World... the Li Clan..."

"The Li family is the royal family of the Great Xiao cultivation world. The entire cultivation world is under their control. The family has a Yuanying Zhenjun sitting in charge and is full of masters.

In the absence of Yuanying Zhenjun, the only one in the four realms that can compete with him is Wanlong Chamber of Commerce."

"Gudong..."

After hearing Mu Guibai's explanation, Niu Dazhuang swallowed his saliva subconsciously, looked at Song Changsheng with a dull expression and said, "Oh my god, your friend provoked such a behemoth?
The key is that even after provoking him, he was able to escape unscathed.

Awesome, really awesome. I, Old Niu, have never been defeated by many people in my life. Your friend is one of them. If he is lucky enough to survive, I, Old Niu, will treat him to a drink. "

Song Changsheng ignored Niu Dazhuang and asked a question that had been lurking in his heart: "Da Xiao and Da Qi are so far apart, why did they think of opening an auction house in Luoxia City?"

As far as he knew, Luoxia Auction House had a history of hundreds of years in Luoxia City. At that time, Luoxia City was only a purple mansion force, and was at the forefront of the interaction between the human and demon races.

With the strength and background of the Li family, they sent people thousands of miles to such a small border town to open an auction house, and they acted very low-key. Such a move is really puzzling.

Mu Guibai did not answer his question directly, but pointed to the demon tribe's territory on the other side of the Canglan River and said, "Have you ever noticed a problem?
We, the four great cultivation worlds, have fought against the demon race for tens of thousands of years. No matter how great the losses were or how miserable the defeats were, we have never had a combat force above the Golden Core level appear on the battlefield. "

These words stunned Song Changsheng. He carefully recalled the ancient books he had read, and it seemed to be true.

No matter how large the war is, no matter whether it is the demon race or the human race, there has never been a Nascent Soul level combat force appearing.

The resources in the Four Realms are scarce, and the number of Nascent Soul cultivators born in the last tens of thousands of years can be counted on one hand. Thousands of years ago, True Lord Yu Shu, who roamed the Four Realms, was still a casual cultivator, so it is barely reasonable that he cannot display Nascent Soul-level combat power to the outside world.

But it’s different for the demon clan. There are a lot of fifth-level demon kings, and even more fourth-level demon kings. I don’t know how many times more there are than in the four realms.

But even in such a situation, the two sides were still fighting back and forth for such a long time, and in many cases the demon clan suffered losses.

He had never thought about this issue in detail before, but now that Mu Guibai suddenly mentioned it, the more Song Changsheng thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.

Mu Guibai did not keep the question in suspense, but said directly: "There is a reason for this.

You all know the development history of our human race. In ancient times, we humans were very weak and were often kept in captivity as food.

It was not until the first catastrophe between heaven and earth, when all races attacked each other, that our human race took the opportunity to rise.

During the long years, all races gradually withered away, and only the human race and the demon race remained strong. In order to fight for territory, the two races at that time fought every year.

The endless war almost exhausted the resources of the two races, and neither side wanted to continue this meaningless war.

So, about fifty thousand years ago, the patriarchs of the major demon clans and the strongest men of the major immortal dynasties of our human race sat together peacefully for the first time.

After lengthy negotiations, although the two sides failed to sign a ceasefire agreement, they signed a special contract.

The content of the contract is very simple. The destructive power of fighters above the Jindan level is too strong and they will no longer be able to appear on the battlefield in the future. Moreover, in a war, the number of fighters on one side at the Jindan level cannot exceed ten people.

There are not many requirements below the Jindan level.

The purpose of doing this is simple, which is to control the intensity and scale of the war.

However, the powerful demons who participated in the alliance proposed to divide a buffer zone on the border between humans and demons. As long as either party crossed the buffer zone on the opposite side, the contract would be invalidated.

At the beginning, both the human and demon races were recuperating, and no major friction broke out for a long time.

Without external threats, the human race began to split and attacked each other for resources, which triggered a serious unrest.

The demon tribe, which had recovered some of its vitality at that time, was unwilling to miss this opportunity, and sent out the demon king to take advantage of the opportunity to cross the buffer zone that was set at the beginning, thereby breaking the contract of that year and launching a full-scale invasion against us.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the other party did not succeed.

The human race at that time had experienced great chaos and was severely damaged. If the demon race had invaded on all fronts, the consequences would have been disastrous.

So, the powerful people of the human race built a wall along the buffer zone that was originally designated, a wall... made of flesh and blood!"

Having said this, Song Changsheng had already made some vague guesses in his heart. He pursed his dry lips and said, "We are part of this wall, right?"

Mu Guibai's eyes fell on him and he nodded slowly.

“Yes, Da Qi, Lu, Dayu, Gusu, and even all the human forces within 10 million miles on the east bank of the Canglan River are part of this wall. Our mission is to prevent the demon vanguard from crossing the buffer zone.

Even if we cannot stop them, we can buy enough time for the rear to mobilize manpower and material resources.

You can understand those people in Luoxia Auction House as the spies arranged by Li family in Da Qi.

No one was more concerned about the movements of the demon tribe than them. Once the demon tribe crossed the buffer zone, they would no longer be restricted by the contract and could launch a full-scale invasion. At that time, the Great Xiao Dynasty would be the first to bear the brunt.

So they have to leave a spy behind, not only to keep an eye on the movements of the demon tribe, but also as a silent warning to us.

In fact, it’s not just the Li family, there are many other forces that have placed spies in Da Qi, for example, the ubiquitous black market is actually the work of the Shadow Pavilion.”

After listening to Mu Guibai's narration, Niu Dazhuang, who was originally confused, exploded.

“Damn it, what kind of logic is this? Let us give up the shield while they live a peaceful life in the rear. They have great strength but turn out to be a bunch of wimps!
That would be fine, but they even sent people to monitor us. What do they think of us?"

Song Changsheng's face was also a little gloomy. No one wanted to be treated as a pawn that could be sacrificed at any time, and he was no exception.

“In fact, after tens of thousands of years of development, our human race has already recovered its vitality. Even if the demon race invades on a large scale, it is not impossible to win.

But some people have lived in comfort for too long and have long lost the courage to take action.

In their view, sacrificing a small part of us in exchange for peace in the entire cultivation world is a very cost-effective deal. "Mu Guibai's tone was neither happy nor sad.

He only knew these things after he broke through to the Golden Core stage. His reaction at the time was very intense and he was very angry, but he could do nothing.

Because none of the four cultivation worlds have even a Nascent Soul True Lord, no one will care about their opinions.

In the eyes of those people, they are all pawns who can be replaced at any time if they don't obey.

At that time, the royal family of the Da Qi Immortal Dynasty was disobedient, so the Jinwu Sect came and the Tianmai Sect also came.

The Lu royal family was badly injured in the Blood Ruins Realm and could not resist the attack of the demons, so they went to Rakshasa Hall.

There are plenty of bricks for building walls. If one breaks, you can just replace it with another one.

As for declaring an all-out war with the demon clan, that is impossible, because for them, the present life is the most comfortable.

"Damn it, I really want to let a monster in there and drag these parasites down with them to death." Niu Dazhuang cursed viciously.

Mu Guibai glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'm not telling you this today to listen to your complaints. Complaining can't solve the problem. Only by becoming stronger can you transcend the chess game.

You two are both outstanding young people in the Great Qi Cultivation World, and your future prospects are limitless. What our generation cannot accomplish may have to fall on you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Song Changsheng immediately smelled an unusual smell.

But Mu Guibai obviously had no intention of continuing to talk to him, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart...

Walking out of the hall, Song Changsheng looked up at the dazzling sun in the sky, his thoughts in a mess. He had received too much information today.

He originally came here simply to take his "bounty", but he didn't expect that it would involve so many things.

After a long while, he retracted his gaze and said with relief: "Whether you are a chess piece or a meat shield, I am now powerless to resist. No matter what, life must go on.

go home! "

------

When Song Changsheng returned to the family, he immediately found Song Xianming and discussed with him the distribution of the [Amethyst Jadeite] he had just acquired.

"Tell me what you think first."

Looking at the [Amethyst Chalcedony] in the box, Song Xianming did not express his opinion, but asked Song Changsheng instead.

Song Changsheng shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know either, so I came to ask you."

He is very confused now.

The Song family currently does not have many options left for him. The only cultivators in the Song family who have reached the great perfection of foundation building are Song Luzhou, Song Qingxing, and Song Lutong who had just achieved a breakthrough some time ago.

If we add Song Yulong, it can barely be counted as four.

His current concern is actually mainly about Song Qingxing and Song Luzhou.

Song Lutong had just broken through not long ago, and his realm was not even stable yet. It was a little too early to consider breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm now.

As for Song Yulong, he is not under consideration at the moment. Although they are all family, weakening the main body and strengthening the branches will not lead to disaster.

So there are actually only two candidates.

Among them, the one with the highest success rate of breakthrough is Song Qingxing. He originally built his foundation with the sword embryo, and his breakthrough to a higher realm is much higher than that of ordinary people. If he adds this piece of [Amethyst Jadeite], it can basically be said that success is a done deal.

But considering that Song Qingxing is still young and cannot reach the requirements of breaking through the Purple Mansion in a short period of time, the demand for this [Amethyst Jadeite] is not that great.

On the other hand, Song Luzhou has been in the great perfection of foundation building for many years and has a solid foundation. Among the existing elders, his contribution to the family is undoubtedly the first.

In addition, he is the only second-grade top-grade alchemist in the family. Once he breaks through the Purple Mansion, the Song family will have an additional third-grade alchemist, which is of extraordinary significance.

The more important point is...Song Luzhou can't wait any longer.

He ranks fifth among the "Lu" generation and is already over 200 years old this year. The lifespan of a foundation-building cultivator is usually around 240 years old, so there really isn't much time left for him.

Treasures are hard to come by, and it was a complete surprise that I was able to obtain this piece of [Amethyst Chalcedony] this time. No one knows whether I will have such good luck in the future.

Giving it to Song Qingxing is the safest choice, almost like a bottom line.

Giving it to Song Luzhou can maximize the benefits, but the prerequisite is that he can succeed, otherwise it will be a waste of time.

This was a dilemma, and Song Changsheng was at a loss for a moment.

Song Xianming knew where his problem was, but he would not give him any specific suggestions, nor could he.

There are some things that a patriarch must go through, and he must make this decision himself, no one can help him.

Of course, he also needs to pay for this decision himself.

When he was in Song Changsheng's position, he made the most rational choice, but in the end he still planted the seeds of disaster for the family and triggered the biggest rebellion since the establishment of the clan.

Therefore, he didn't think he could help Song Changsheng.

In this respect, he is actually a loser...
