Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Shen Qingxiu opened the "National History" and quickly read through the contents before saying excitedly, "It is indeed like this. That's right, this is the country built by the survivors of the Great Qi Dynasty. It is true that one may plant flowers with care but they do not bloom, but one may plant willows by accident but they grow into a shade.

The Jinwu Sect and the Tianmai Sect have been searching privately for so long, but they never thought that a group of people would eventually reveal this mysterious veil."

Afterwards, Shen Qingxiu began to use explanation language to help Song Changsheng understand.

It turned out that tens of thousands of years ago, the Da Qi Immortal Dynasty suffered heavy casualties in the Blood Ruins Realm and experienced a major turmoil, and the powerful Da Qi Immortal Dynasty went from prosperity to decline.

With the efforts of several generations of human kings, the Great Qi Dynasty was supported for more than 20,000 years. Later, the demons from the Shiwanda Mountains invaded, and the Dayu Dynasty took advantage of the situation. The Great Qi Dynasty fell into the embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts.

Fortunately, the Dalu Immortal Dynasty in the north had already collapsed by then, and several former important officials were fighting fiercely for resources and territories. Otherwise, the Daqi Immortal Dynasty would have to face more than just two enemies in the east and west.

The war lasted for decades, and the manpower of the Great Qi Dynasty was constantly consumed, but there was still no sign of victory.

This protracted war finally ended with the death of the last human king of the Da Qi Immortal Dynasty. The powerful Immortal Dynasty that had been passed down from ancient times to the present fell apart, and countless people with ulterior motives began to take the opportunity to seize territory and resources.

During this period, there were even several people who declared themselves kings, but these people were eventually attacked by the crowd and eventually disappeared in the long river of history.

While these people were fighting fiercely for power, the only remaining bloodline of the royal family of the Da Qi Dynasty secretly moved here with the Dynasty guards and some loyal ministers, and entered this small world which they called "Lost Pearl".

It turned out that they had long anticipated that such a day would come and had started preparing long ago. In the end, they found such a small world with sound laws and abundant resources. The only drawback was that its area was not large enough. However, it was enough as a retreat for the royal family.

They secretly moved some mortals and monks in there in advance, allowing them to reproduce and store resources.

After the fall of the Immortal Dynasty, they took the opportunity to escape in.

Although they had been prepared, the royal family suffered severe losses, and there was only one Jindan cultivator left. According to the records in the "National History", his name was Qi Zhenghuan.

He proclaimed himself king in the royal city of the "Lost Pearl" small world, becoming the only human king in the history of the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty to ascend the throne with the cultivation level of a Golden Elixir. He began to recuperate and accumulate strength.

At this moment, the Da Qi Immortal Dynasty, or the Da Qi cultivation world, entered its most chaotic period, with frequent internal wars and external attacks by the demon clan and the Dayu Immortal Dynasty.

A large number of monks died there, and countless mortals became blood food for the demons.

Finally, one group of forces after another were supported, and the Da Qi cultivation world became stable, and its vitality began to slowly recover.

However, the strength of the remnants of the Immortal Dynasty in the "Lost Pearl" small world was constantly weakened. In the end, apart from the Human King who broke through the Golden Core stage, there was no second Golden Core cultivator. Naturally, restoring the country became a luxury.

After listening to Shen Qingxiu's narration, Song Changsheng couldn't help but exclaimed: "So, the human king in the small world is not a fake king."

Shen Qingxiu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, he has the [Imperial Seal] in his hand and royal blood, so he is indeed a real human king."

"Logically speaking, they were so well prepared and their strength was no less than that of an old-established Jindan sect. How could they suddenly be destroyed?"

According to what Song Qingxi and others saw and heard in the small world, that human kingdom should have been destroyed suddenly. Even if all the forces in the Da Qi cultivation world at that time were added together, it would not have been possible to do it so cleanly.

"Is it a natural disaster?"

Song Changsheng couldn't help but think of the Wutong small world, which was also suddenly destroyed by the impact of an extraterritorial meteor. Only a natural disaster could destroy a country so easily.

Shen Qingxiu took a sip of the fragrant tea, her eyes flickering as she said, "It's not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

"Man-made disaster?" Song Changsheng couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes. Could it be because of some evil secret method like blood sacrifice?

Shen Qingxiu did not keep the secret and directly revealed the answer: "Although the power of the laws in the small world is sound, it is still far behind the great world, and Qi Zhenghuan himself does not have such a monstrous talent, which has prevented him from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

So, in his later years, he did something extremely crazy.”

At this point, she paused for a moment, and said word by word in a solemn tone: "He actually intends to refine the [World Origin] of this small world to break through the Nascent Soul stage.

However, [Origin of the World] is the condensation of the power of the world's laws, containing unimaginable power. Even those powerful people in the legend dare not touch it.

Even the [World Origin] of a small world is not something that a Jindan cultivator can get involved in.

The consequence of doing this was that Qi Zhenghuan died on the spot, and the balance of the [Origin of the World] was broken, causing the laws of the small world to collapse, spiritual power to dissipate, and the power of the laws to turn into a tide, killing most of the creatures in the Yizhu small world in an instant. Only a few people survived.

The monk who was responsible for compiling this "National History" was one of them. He clearly recorded the entire process of the destruction of the small world.

Later, he and the other survivors collected the remains and buried them in a mausoleum built in advance. After doing all this, he became the mausoleum keeper.

As for the whereabouts of the other survivors, the text does not mention it, but in my opinion, this cave should be the work of those survivors."

Song Changsheng couldn't help but fall silent after listening to this. It had to be said that it was a bit ironic that the Human King who was determined to restore his country ended up destroying his country with his own hands, killing his people, and turning the world into a ghost den.

Those mortals didn't know what happened until they died.

But he could also understand Qi Zhenghuan's mood at the time. Seeing that he was getting older and the country's strength was declining day by day, he had no choice but to take a gamble, otherwise "restoring the country" would really only exist in his ideals.

It’s a pity that he failed, and the price of failure was so heavy.

Although gamblers do not deserve sympathy, Song Changsheng still couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

Compared to him, Shen Qingxiu saw something completely different. Her attention at this moment was completely attracted by the word "mausoleum".

Since ancient times, a large number of burial objects were required when a king fell. If one wants to find the long-lost [Imperial Seal], the mausoleum is the most likely place. Unfortunately, the location of the mausoleum is not clearly recorded in the "National History".

Fortunately, they had not lost the initiative yet, and there was still a chance. She immediately gave a death order to the Luoxia City disciple who rushed back to deliver the letter, asking them to find the location of the Human King's mausoleum as quickly as possible, and then bring back the [Imperial Seal] at all costs.

Seeing her firm and tough attitude, Song Changsheng couldn't help but feel itchy. As Luoxia City and Jinwu Sect were so concerned about it, he could tell with his toes that this [Imperial Seal] was not simple, but he didn't know any more details.

Seeing his curiosity, Shen Qingxiu smiled and said, "Every human king in the Great Qi Dynasty is a Yuanying Zhenjun. Do you really think this is the reason why the royal family has so many talented people?"

Song Changsheng's heart was suddenly shocked. The doubts in his mind for so many years finally had an answer.

When he was still a minor, he often spent time in the Sutra Library reading various ancient books, some of which recorded the successive kings of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Ever since the Human Emperor divided the country, the cultivation level of every Human King in the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty was at least Yuanying Zhenjun. At that time, he was still sighing at the emergence of many talented people in the royal family of Great Qi, and did not think much about it. Now it seems that things are not that simple.

The [Imperial Seal] that many powerful people are vying for may be the key.

But Song Changsheng couldn't understand it. The [Imperial Seal] should also be a magical instrument. A magical instrument could help a cultivator break through the Nascent Soul stage? That was too shocking.

In addition, God is fair. Even if it really possesses such magical power, what huge price will it cost to use it?

This time, Shen Qingxiu had no intention of clearing up his doubts. It was better not to know these things that were beyond his cognition and tolerance too early. Compared with the two sects and one city, the current Song family was just a young seedling. Telling them too much would not help him, but harm him instead.

[Imperial Seal] is an opportunity, but also a way to bring disaster. It can destroy a prosperous Jindan sect in an instant. If Qiwang City and "National History" were not discovered by the Song family, Shen Qingxiu would not even let Song Changsheng know these.

Song Changsheng understood what Shen Qingxiu meant. Although he was jealous of the [Imperial Seal], he had no intention of competing with Luoxia City.

Regardless of whether he can win the fight or not, even if he gets it, so what? It is impossible for him to become a Yuanying Zhenjun in one fell swoop, right?

If you cannot become a Yuanying Zhenjun, even if you become a Jindan Zhenren, the only outcome is death if you have precious treasures.

So he turned to look at Song Youhe who came to deliver the "National History" and said, "You have heard what Uncle Master said. Go back and tell Qing Xing and Qing Xi to find the entrance to the mausoleum as soon as possible, and send people to do their best to help Luoxia City seize the [Imperial Seal]."

Song Youhe's face flushed slightly. He had just participated in the entire listening process and had a clearer judgment on the value of the Lost Pearl Small World. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, clan leader. My grandson will set off now."

"Remember, do your best." Song Changsheng emphasized again.

Shen Qingxiu nodded slightly and said, "My nephew is thoughtful. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, Luoxia will never forget the Song family's contribution and dedication today."

"If Luoxia is strong, the Song family will be strong. I am just providing some help within my ability. What's more, I am not only the patriarch of the Song family, but also the elder of Luoxia City."

Song Changsheng stopped at the right time. Both parties were smart people. They smiled at each other and understood each other tacitly.

If the [Imperial Seal] is really in that mausoleum, it would undoubtedly be the best outcome for it to fall into the hands of Luoxia City. The Song family can also further establish friendship with Luoxia City, making the relationship between the two families even closer.

Of course, the premise is that Luoxia City has no intention of crossing the river and destroying the bridge, or abandoning the donkey after it has done its job.

This possibility is not impossible. After all, the [Imperial Seal] is of great importance. If one really succeeds in getting it, the fewer people who know about it, the better. No matter how strong the relationship is, it cannot outweigh the word "interest".

But Song had already boarded this pirate ship without knowing it, and there was no room for him to regret. He could only use this method to express his attitude.

Of course, he would never pin all his hopes on the other party's kindness, he had to make another preparation...

When Song Youhe brought Song Changsheng's words to Song Qingxi, she couldn't help but shook her head slightly and said, "This is a different time. The Royal City is too big. The cultivators of the Tianmai Sect and Tianjian Sect have already discovered its existence. Not long ago, there was a conflict between the Luoxia City disciples and the Tianmai Sect.

Now that the disciples of the four families have gathered together, the water has been muddied. Even if we find the mausoleum, who will get this opportunity is no longer something that our two families can control."

"Tsk, it's good to muddy the waters. It's easier to fish in muddy waters. That thing has nothing to do with us in the first place. If the clan leader hadn't asked us to do our best to cooperate with Luoxia City, I would have wanted to return to the clan."

Song Lutong saw it clearly. He didn't care whether it was the [Imperial Seal] or not. It had nothing to do with the Song family anyway.

Their harvest this time was already big enough. Although the harvest from the arsenal was not satisfactory, they made up for it from other places and made a huge profit, almost equal to the sum of the gains from the other few families.

In his opinion, there was no need for the Song family to get involved in these matters, and the best thing to do was to retreat from the current situation.

Once these gains are digested, the Song family's overall strength will at least double.

Song Changsheng knew this very well, but he had no choice. Luoxia City would never let them get off the boat at this time, so he had no choice but to go all the way.

However, there are different ways to blend.

The orders he gave to Song Qingxi and others were to try their best, not to do it at all costs. There was still a lot of room for maneuver, and he believed that Song Qingxi could understand what he meant.

In fact, Song Qingxi did understand. She first asked Song Lutong to take Song Youlin and all the gains in the royal city out of the small world, and then she took the rest of the people and Lian Siyu to join forces to start a carpet search of the royal city.

Although the cultivators of Tianmai Sect and Tianjian Sect did not know about the mausoleum and the [Imperial Seal] yet, they were aware that there were opportunities hidden in the royal city. Therefore, the disciples of the two sects had been following Song Qingxi and others intentionally or unintentionally.

Lian Siyu was helpless about this. The royal city was ownerless and she couldn't possibly chase anyone away. Wouldn't that be a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt?
If you lose the initiative, you will have to rely on your own abilities.

Nearly a hundred people searched for more than ten hours, and finally Song Qingxi found some clues from the map found by Song Youfu...
