Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Although the words on the plaque were slightly different from modern ones, everyone recognized them at a glance. After all, recognizing ancient texts was a basic skill for the Song family monks. Not to mention the little changes in front of them, even if the ancient texts were placed in front of them, they could still recognize them one by one.

Looking at the broken and tattered words "Royal City", everyone's expressions changed slightly.

This word has not appeared in the Da Qi cultivation world for a long time. If we go back ten thousand years, these two words represented absolute majesty on this land.

Once upon a time, there was a majestic city in the center of the Da Qi cultivation world that surpassed Luoxia City and was comparable to Sifang City. It was like a bright light in the darkness, guiding the human race of this land forward.

Unfortunately, in that drastic change that was enough to overturn the world, that majestic city turned into the dust of history. Later generations could only learn about that magnificent era and that majestic city through the few words recorded in ancient books.

Therefore, when people first saw these two words, they felt complicated.

Song Changxuan was even more surprised and asked: "Could it be that there was a human kingdom in this small world before?"

Based on what they saw and heard along the way, they had actually had similar speculations a long time ago, but they had never been able to find evidence to prove them. Now that they had seen this city and this plaque, they could finally prove their speculations.

There should have been a human kingdom in this world before. Perhaps they fled to this world for some reason or other. The ruined and majestic city beneath their feet was the center of this kingdom, that is, the royal city.

Although most of the immortal dynasties established by the powerful human beings in the past had been destroyed in the disasters and replaced by more numerous and more powerful sects or aristocratic families, such as the Jinwu Sect and the Tianmai Sect, there were still survivors.

For example, in the Daxiao Immortal Dynasty, which is not far from the Gusu cultivation world, the royal family controls the central territory, the sects and families guard the borders, and everyone must obey the orders of the "King Xiao".

Therefore, when people encountered the remains of the human kingdom in this small world, they were not particularly surprised. Some people even speculated about the name of this country.

But Song Youfu looked at the plaque in his hand and curled his lips, then threw it into the ruins and said with disdain: "It's just a fake king. How dare a commoner from a remote place claim to be a king?"

The human race is quite different from the demon race. Among the demon race, a fourth-level cultivator can be called a demon king. Human cultivators whose hundred arts realm reaches the fourth level are also given the title of "king", such as the Formation King, the Medicine King, etc., but this is just a respectful title.

The title of Human King is not something that ordinary people can bear.

The human race originated from humble beginnings. At the end of the ancient times, the oppressed human tribes rose up one after another to resist the brutal Beast Dynasty.

In order to concentrate their strength and unify their commands, the chiefs of the major human tribes jointly elected a leader, the first Human King. Under his leadership, the human race overthrew the Ferocious Beast Dynasty, occupied a large area of ​​territory west of the sea, and drove the arrogant demon tribe to the Hengduan Mountains and the Wuyin Mountains.

Later, they were driven to the other side of the Canglan River. The two tribes were governed across the river and signed a far-reaching ancient covenant.

Later, the Human King was crowned as the Emperor due to this great achievement. As the territory was too large to govern, he divided the vast human territory into 366 human kingdoms.

He led one of them himself, and selected 365 people from the meritorious officials of the major tribes who had followed him in resisting the Ferocious Beast Dynasty. He appointed them as "kings", and each of them had his own country, and his descendants all ruled it.

The human race entered a period of supremacy among the immortal dynasties, which was also the peak period of human power. The stars were shining, and the human race suppressed the demon race and the sea race with its own strength.

The predecessor of the Da Qi cultivation world was the Da Qi Immortal Dynasty, one of the 366 human kingdoms.

Later, the Great Qi Dynasty was destroyed in a catastrophe, and the royal family members also disappeared. From then on, no one in this land was qualified to be king. Many people tried, but they all died miserably later.

In the end, the Jinwu Sect emerged and the Tianmai Sect was also supported. Only then did this land end its nearly ten thousand years of chaos and become completely stable, which has continued to this day.

There are so many talented and powerful people in the Da Qi cultivation world, but no one dares to usurp the throne. In his eyes, the so-called king of the human kingdom in this small world is just a clown who entertains himself behind closed doors, a fake king.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.

Even if this kind of creature has not been destroyed and has survived to this day, it will be destined to be conquered if it is discovered. After all, the title of "Human King" has too many special meanings for the human race.

Everyone agreed with his words.

However, everyone soon became excited again. Although he was only a fake king, anyone who dared to usurp the throne had to be at least a Jindan cultivator. For them, this small world also contained great opportunities.

And looking for opportunities also depends on the location. The city in front of them is the capital of a country, where the essence of the world gathers. It can also be regarded as the dojo of a Jindan cultivator. The probability of finding treasures is naturally much higher than other places.

Everyone looked at each other, and they were all eager to make a move.

Song Qingxi said bluntly: "This city is so huge that its outline can be clearly seen even from a thousand miles away. Although there are no people from other sects around us, it does not mean that we are the only ones who have discovered it.

Even though we are the only ones who have arrived here now, people from the other sects will get here sooner or later.

Time waits for no one, we must now seize every minute and every second.”

After that, she turned her gaze to Song Qingcheng who was not far away and said, "Brother Qingcheng, please go there in person and report what you have seen and heard here to the clan leader. In addition, I need to ask him one more thing."

"Just give me your orders, sister." The task of delivering the message was a rotation, and Song Qingcheng showed no negative emotion on his face, and responded very straightforwardly.

Song Qingxi smiled and said, "You can ask the clan leader whether to inform the Taoist friends in Luoxia City of this news."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed immediately. Song Qingdian even shouted directly: "Although we are allies with Luoxia City, we discovered this city. Why should we let them sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor?"

His dissatisfaction was evident in his words.

Although the other people present did not speak, most of them had similar thoughts in their minds. Only a few people showed a thoughtful expression, including Song Youlin and Song Youfu.

They are the youngest and of the lowest generation, but they understand this matter much more clearly than "elders" like Song Qingdian.

However, the two of them did not speak rashly, but kept silent tacitly. They knew that Song Qingxi would definitely explain the reason to everyone.

Song Qingxi was not dissatisfied with Song Qingdian's questioning. After all, he was also considering the interests of the family. She chuckled and said, "My brother also said that we are allies with Luoxia City. We took the space teleportation array of Luoxia City to Xuzhou this time. We should give something in return.

In addition, if there is really a legacy of a Jindan Zhenren here, do you think that our clan can bear it alone with its strength?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. If it was just the Song family, it would be fine. As long as they kept it secret, they could swallow up not only the inheritance of Jindan Zhenren, but even the inheritance of Yuanying Zhenjun.

But there are four forces here, and each of them is stronger than the Song family. In this case, if they dare to take this inheritance for themselves, they will definitely become the target of public criticism.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The Song family has risen so fast in recent years that many people have felt threatened. If it were to be rumored that they had inherited the legacy of a Jindan Zhenren, many people would probably become uneasy.

It would be different if Luoxia City was brought in. On the one hand, it would help to befriend Luoxia City and make the relationship between the two sides closer. On the other hand, it would confuse the public and distract the Song family's attention, killing two birds with one stone.

After realizing this, everyone had no choice but to agree.

After Song Qingcheng took the order and left, Song Qingxi saw that everyone was in a bad mood and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you all like this? We have already arrived in the depths of the small world. It will take at least several hours to walk back and forth from Qingcheng. This time is enough for us to seize the initiative.

Just like before, we will form groups of two, high and low, and enter the city in a fan-shaped formation to explore."

Everyone then understood what Song Qingxi meant by every second counts. After dividing into groups as quickly as possible, everyone immediately began to explore the city.

Although the personnel were scattered, their goals were clear. They only took a cursory look at the area around the city wall. Their main target was the inner city, which was the essence of the city, just like Tianyin Mountain in the center of Luoxia City.

Most of the buildings in the city have collapsed. It doesn't look like they have collapsed due to natural decay, but rather as if they had been impacted by some external force. Almost all of them have fallen in the same direction.

Occasionally they could find some broken magical instruments and crystal white bones among the ruins.

To be able to exist for such a long time, these bones must have had a cultivation level of at least the Foundation Establishment stage when they were alive.

Although the number of skeletal remains they saw was not large, at most they could piece together a dozen or so, but considering the area of ​​the city, this number was a bit terrifying.

Song Qingxi was able to assert that before this city was destroyed, its prosperity was definitely no less than that of Luoxia City, or even better. This was quite rare, and proved that this place must have been a world with perfect laws and power, prosperous immortal ways, and abundant resources.

The horrible appearance it presents is definitely not its true appearance. I don’t know what happened here that turned a small and prosperous world of immortals into the desolate and dilapidated state it is today.

As the group searched forward, only the outer circle of ruined inner city walls appeared in front of them. They were surprised to find that most of the buildings in this area of ​​the inner city were still intact, with only a small part on the outer edge collapsed. The closer they got to the center, the more intact the buildings were.

At first glance, one can see the magnificent palaces stacked up, pavilions and towers arranged in an orderly manner, with carved beams and painted buildings, so magnificent that even time has not left too many traces on them.

The main hall in the middle was even more majestic and magnificent, exuding an indescribable majesty and dignity, and everyone was a little dazed for a moment.

They are becoming more and more curious about the identity of the former master of this country...

While Song Qingxi and others were exploring the "Royal City", Song Qingcheng had already returned to the cave and described in detail what they had seen and heard in the secret realm.

Because Shen Qingxiu was by his side, he used telepathy, and at the end he also included the question that Song Qingxi asked him to ask on his behalf.

They were not fools and understood everything immediately. Before Song Qingcheng began to explain Song Qingxi's intention, Song Changsheng had already guessed Song Qingxi's thoughts and could not help but nod slightly.

Signaling Song Qingcheng to go first, Song Changsheng looked at Shen Qingxiu and said with a smile, "Uncle Master, there is new progress."

"Oh?"

"Qingxi and his companions discovered a majestic city in the small world that is no less large than Luoxia City. The broken plaque has the words 'Royal City' inscribed on it. Judging from the words, it has a history of at least tens of thousands of years.

They speculated that there might have once been a human kingdom in this small world, and it was very prosperous, with the immortal way flourishing. "

Shen Qingxiu showed a hint of surprise in her eyes and asked, "A human nation where immortality flourishes?"

This was somewhat beyond her expectations. They originally thought that it was at most a hidden sect, but they did not expect that it was actually a human kingdom.

In terms of value, there is no comparison between the two.

After all, the resources needed by a human country are much greater than those of a sect, which at least proves that it is not a barren world.

"He usurps the throne and claims to be king. No wonder he can only stay in this small world." Shen Qingxiu sneered.

But soon, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly asked, "What is that man's king title?"

Although Song Changsheng felt a little strange, he still replied: "The plaque they found was broken, and only the words "Royal City" were seen at the back.

However, the other city gates should still be well preserved. If you are interested, you can ask Junior Sister Siyu to take people there to check it out."

This was already a disguised invitation to Luoxia City.

Shen Qingxiu was a smart person, so she could naturally understand Song Changsheng's deep meaning. She did not refuse and nodded happily, saying, "I do have this intention. Thank you very much."

"Uncle Master, you are too kind. I have already informed Qingcheng that Qingxi will contact Junior Sister Siyu."

"Aren't you curious about why I am so curious about the title of that fake king?" Shen Qingxiu picked up the cup of fragrant tea in front of her and took a sip.

Song Changsheng chuckled and said, "Of course I am curious, but I know that as long as the time is right, Uncle Master will naturally tell me."

"Smart, I do have some guesses in my mind, but I'm not completely sure. It's a pity that I can't go and see the city with my own eyes." Shen Qingxiu sighed slowly.

At the same time, Song Youfu, who was exploring the inner city, suddenly cheered, then approached Song Youlin like a thief, and said mysteriously: "Xiao Linzi, guess what I found?"
