Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Song Qingxi recounted to Song Changsheng every detail of the major and minor events that had occurred in the Song family over the past few years.

Only then did Song Changsheng realize that during the short few years of his seclusion, such great changes had taken place in the Song family.

Especially in terms of income, it more than doubled. After several years of savings, the Song family's pockets were already bulging.

Song Changsheng's mind also became active. Some things that he couldn't do before, he could now finally try to do.

Although he had previously estimated the powerful foundation of those "big sects" as much as possible, he discovered through the battle between the Tianjian Sect and the Tianxiao Sect in Tianniu Mountain that the foundation of these big forces was much deeper than he had imagined.

Not to mention anything else, just the Tianjian Sect's [Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect Formation] is enough to throw the Song family's [Thousand Illusions Mysterious Formation] away by tens of thousands of miles.

As the most powerful and last barrier of a force, the importance of the mountain protection formation is self-evident. The Song family's [Thousand Illusions Mysterious Formation] was once a mid-level third-grade formation.

Song Changsheng gained a lot of insights while watching Xia Wuqie setting up the cross-domain space teleportation array, and soon after he broke through to the third-level upper grade.

Then he worked together with Song Xianming to upgrade the [Thousand Illusions Mysterious Array] to the third-grade upper level.

He was originally somewhat complacent, but after learning about the power of the Tianjian Sect's [Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect Formation], he realized how weak the Song family's mountain protection formation was.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in my heart.

He didn't have this feeling before. After all, the [Thousand Illusions Mysterious Array] was the result of hundreds of years of hard work by the Song family. It had an extremely solid foundation and had a third-level spirit vein as its energy supply. Although it was only of the third-level upper grade, it was not difficult for him to resist the siege of six or seven Purple Mansion monks under his control.

But the strength displayed by the Thunder King Palace this time made Song Changsheng truly feel what it means to be afraid.

In terms of the time of contact, the Song family should be the first force in the entire Da Qi cultivation world to come into contact with the Thunder King Palace, and as a result, they had a considerable feud, which directly led to the death of a Purple Mansion Period judge of the Thunder King Palace at the hands of Bai Zhengchun.

This indirectly led to the large-scale elimination of the Thunder King Palace stronghold within the Da Qi cultivation world, making the Thunder King Palace a target of public scrutiny throughout the entire Da Qi cultivation world and even in several surrounding cultivation worlds.

It can even be said that it was precisely because the Song family was the first to discover that the Thunder King Palace was secretly capturing mortals that it was labeled as evil, so this time the major forces reacted so violently after discovering that the Thunder King Palace was involved, which eventually led to the grand occasion of the twelve Jindan True Immortals gathering in Tianniu Mountain.

It seems that the Song family did not participate in this large-scale war from beginning to end, but it is not difficult to find out that this war is full of the shadow of the Song family.

Although all this is just a coincidence and not something Song Changsheng intended to do, the facts are already in front of the public, so it doesn't matter whether it is a coincidence or not.

It can be said that the Song family is completely on the kill list of the Thunder King Palace. Once the Thunder King Palace finds a suitable opportunity, they will definitely take action against the Song family. This is beyond doubt.

Song Changsheng was also aware of this, so the third-grade superior-grade [Thousand Illusions Mysterious Array] was no longer enough to give him the sense of security he deserved.

The Song family needs a more powerful mountain protection formation. It doesn't need to be as powerful as the Tianjian Sect's [Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect Formation], but at least it cannot be destroyed by a Jindan Zhenren with just a wave of his hand.

At least we should give the Song family time to seek help or even transfer their bloodline seeds.

This was not a decision he made on impulse. Ever since he discovered the "Devil's Notes" in Chang Wudao's retreat, he had already developed a sense of crisis.

In the days that followed, he continued to plan for this.

But he knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed, and he had been secretly reminding himself not to be too hasty, so over the years he had been quietly promoting the development of the Song Group, strengthening its foundation, and preparing a way out for the Song Group for the crisis that might come at any time.

Zhangye County is one of them. Because of the existence of the space teleportation array, the Song family can complete the transfer in a very short time when facing a crisis.

But Zhangye County is still within the territory of the Da Qi cultivation world, and is always facing the threat of the demon tribe on the other side of the Canglan River, so Song Changsheng proposed a plan to further develop the Wutong small world a long time ago.

According to his idea, as long as it was transformed, the Wutong small world could barely provide shelter for the Song clan members. When facing the danger of destruction, they could hide in the small world and wait for the opportunity to rise again. However, before they could even start, a sudden extraterritorial meteor destroyed the Wutong small world.

Therefore, after learning the news, Song Changsheng felt so regretful and lost. This meant that the retreat route he had prepared for the Song family was cut off, and he had to make a new plan.

Fortunately, later on, a small world was discovered in the vast jungle. Compared to the Wutong small world, the laws and power of the small world were more perfect. As long as the ubiquitous [Mist Insects] in it could be eliminated, that world would be more suitable for human survival.

Because of this, he spent so much manpower and resources to develop this vast little world, just so that the Song family members would have a place to stay when an accident happened.

The construction of the cross-domain space teleportation array from Lingzhou to Sifang City is also based on this factor.

If anything unexpected happens to the Song family, a group of elite members can be transferred to Sifang City as quickly as possible. As of now, there is no place safer than Sifang City.

Moreover, with that shop, there is no need to worry about not having a source of income when going to Sifang City. Over the past few decades, Song Changsheng has unknowingly provided the Song family with three insurances. Counting the original one, that is four, which can be said to be almost foolproof.

But one thing is very realistic. No matter which of these methods is used, the prerequisite for using it is to give up everything the Song family has now.

As the saying goes, a nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse. If the conditions are right, who would be willing to give up their homeland and leave their hometown?

So Song Changsheng decided to provide the Song family with another insurance policy.

After detailed discussions with Song Xianming, they decided to rebuild the Song family's mountain protection formation.

Their initial idea was to build a third-order, top-grade defensive formation, which would at least be able to hold out for a certain period of time even when facing a Jindan Zhenren.

Song Changsheng and Song Xianming are both currently third-grade upper-grade formation masters. It is obviously not possible for them to build a third-grade, top-grade formation that can even resist a Jindan Zhenren.

However, it is impossible to ask someone else to set up the mountain protection formation, which is the lifeline of the family. That would undoubtedly be handing the family's lifeline into the hands of others.

So, after several days and nights of research, they finally decided to borrow the formation method of their family in the secular world to accomplish this feat.

Originally, there were only seven mortal cities in the Song family's secular world, which were built according to the positions of the Big Dipper, namely Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang.

After the city was built, in order to protect the mortal world from attacks by demons, Song Xianming invited a geomancer to move the spiritual veins and arrange them under the seven cities.

Among them, there are three first-order spiritual veins under each of the four cities of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji and Tianquan, assisted by large-scale spirit gathering formations to make the spiritual energy concentration reach the level of second-order spiritual veins.

There is a second-level spiritual vein under each of the three cities of Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang.

Song Xianming first used the spiritual veins of each city as the foundation and arranged a second-level top-grade formation for each city. Then he used secret methods to connect the earth veins and connected the seven large formations into a whole.

Finally, he used the inferior magic weapon [Xuanwu Zhenshan Seal] left by Song Yungui as the core of the formation, and finally arranged the [Seven Star Locking Mountain Formation] that was enough to protect seven cities.

When separated, they are seven top-grade formations, and when combined, they are a third-order lower-grade formation that is powerful enough to withstand Purple Mansion cultivators.

Unlike ordinary chain formations, the power of the main formation can increase with the increase of sub-formations. Theoretically, there is no upper limit. However, the formation master has an upper limit, and the formation master's upper limit determines the final power of such a large formation.

The [Seven Stars Locking Mountain Array] was independently arranged by Song Xianming when he had just broken through to the third-level lower-grade array master. Now he has become a third-level upper-grade array master. Together with Song Changsheng, a formation genius who is also a third-level array master, it is not difficult to arrange a third-level top-grade mountain protection array using the same method.

The reason why it has not been implemented is that the resources required for the mountain protection formation envisioned by the two people are too huge, and it is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

If the Song family wants to build such a large formation, it means that all of their income will have to be invested in it for at least ten years. This is not enough, and they may even have to sell a batch of assets.

During this period of time, everyone in the family will have to tighten their belts, and the development of the Wind Whisper Palace's intelligence network will stagnate, and they may even have to lay off staff and shrink further.

Song Changsheng thought this was not worth it. The intelligence network of Fengyu Palace had just started to improve, and doing so would undoubtedly be tantamount to self-destruction.

Moreover, ten years is nothing to a Purple Mansion cultivator or even a Foundation Establishment cultivator; they can get through it by gritting their teeth.

However, for a Qi-refining cultivator or even the young members of the Song family, these ten years are extremely critical. Who knows how many talents will be buried and how many people's paths will be affected.

It is precisely because of these realistic factors that the construction of the new mountain protection formation has been delayed again and again.

But things are different now. The two industries of spiritual wine and spiritual charcoal have brought a lot of income to the Song family, which is enough to offset the expenses needed to build the large formation. The only one that may be affected is the Wind Whisper Palace, which is now a gold-eating beast.

However, Song Changsheng can make up for their part by using the spiritual materials in the Wutong small world.

At this point, all obstacles have been removed.

Song Changsheng no longer had the heart to retreat, and headed straight for Cangmang Peak...
