Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"It has basically been confirmed that the mausoleum should be located in the harem."

In a heavily guarded palace, Song Qingxi pointed at the map neatly spread out on the table and spoke to Song Qingxing and others.

Looking at the circled area on the map, everyone couldn't help but sigh. At first, they were just guessing, but they didn't expect that the mausoleum was actually inside the royal city.

To be honest, they did not hope to find this mausoleum. After all, the Song family's harvest this time was already big enough. There was no need for them to get involved in the fight for the so-called [Imperial Seal] and even play the role of helping others.

Song Qingdian's eyes flickered, and he said tentatively: "Anyway, they don't know that we have the map, why don't we just hide it from them?
This place is quite secretive, and they may not be able to find it. We may be able to avoid a fight."

Upon hearing this, many people present immediately showed expressions of interest. They can sacrifice their lives for their family, and they can also go through fire and water at the order of the clan leader, but this does not mean that they like to fight with others. After all, that will result in bloodshed and death.

All in all, people were not very enthusiastic about this action.

But you can't blame them.

If Song Changsheng told them to seize the [Imperial Seal] at all costs, they would not frown even if they had to stand against Luoxia City, Tianmai Sect and Tianjian Sect at the same time.

But now we have to serve as thugs for others, there is no way anyone can be proactive.

Therefore, Song Qingdian's proposal was supported by the vast majority of people, and some people even suggested secretly destroying the entrance to the mausoleum. After all, this mausoleum was the root of everything.

Facing the discussion among the crowd, Song Qingxi shook his head slightly and said, "Everyone, you underestimate their determination to obtain the [Imperial Seal].

If they can't find it this time, they will dig again and again, until they turn the world upside down.

Even if we don't report it, they will find it sooner or later. Some things are unavoidable.

Instead of letting them find out, we might as well take the initiative. Even if they don't get the [Imperial Seal] afterwards, they will have to remember the family's contribution and gain enough benefits for the family.

If they obtain the [Imperial Seal], the weight of our contribution will also be greater."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and sighed. This was indeed the only choice to maximize the family's interests.

Seeing that no one had any other opinions, Song Qingxi made the decision directly. Next, Song Qingxing will lead most of the family cultivators to continue exploring with the disciples of Luoxia City, and she will personally lead the Qin brothers, Song Youfu, Song Youhe and others to the harem where the mausoleum is suspected to be located to find the entrance to the mausoleum.

The reason why they did not report it directly was, firstly, because the news had not been confirmed, and secondly, to avoid exposing the fact that they had the map in their hands.

Although an area had been identified, the area of ​​the harem was not ordinary large. Several people acted separately and used spiritual sense to conduct a carpet search, but after an hour or two, nothing was found.

At this moment, Song Youfu turned his eyes to the spacious square in the center of the harem.

The square is circular in shape and paved with polished and standard-cut white jade tiles. Even after thousands of years, the square still looks very clean.

In the center, there are four bronze pillars, each twelve feet high and ten feet in diameter. On the top of each bronze pillar sits a lifelike spirit beast, namely the four sacred beasts, the Azure Dragon, the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise, and the White Tiger, arranged in the directions of east, south, north, and west respectively.

The faces of the sculptures are also facing outward.

The sculptures of the four sacred beasts are widely used in the human cultivation world, but seeing them standing in a square like this is really unheard of. This strange phenomenon soon attracted Song Youfu's attention.

He walked to the bottom of the bronze pillar, raised his head, looked around carefully, and his doubts grew even more.

"There's something strange." Song Youfu spread out his spiritual sense, covering the area of ​​nearly a hundred feet in radius, and explored downwards inch by inch towards the location of the four bronze pillars.

His spiritual consciousness passed through the white jade tiles smoothly. Suddenly, he felt as if he had hit an invisible barrier, which directly bounced his spiritual consciousness back.

This sudden unexpected situation made Song Youfu happy instead of surprised. If it was just a guess before, he was now basically certain.

Even if this is not the location of the mausoleum, there must be other gains here.

"If this is really the place, then..." Song Youfu cast his gaze towards the four bronze pillars in front of him. He knew that the key to solving this mystery lay on these four sculptures.

He tried to push it, and the bronze column actually turned slightly, destroying its original neatness.

Song Youfu was overjoyed and began to rotate the bronze pillars. After nearly an hour of trying, finally, when all the sculptures' "faces" were facing inward, the eyes of the four sculptures instantly turned red, and each emitted a red light.

After these red lights gathered together, a shocking beam of light shot straight into the sky from the center. In an instant, the originally dark sky was illuminated scarlet.

"Rumble..."

The sculptures of the four sacred beasts on the bronze columns began to vibrate slightly, and spider-web-like cracks began to appear on their surfaces. Then, the green rust on the surface of the sculptures began to fall off in large areas, revealing the colorful bodies underneath.

As the rust fell off, the square under Song Youfu's feet began to shake violently, and dense golden runes emerged from the ground out of thin air.

These runes gathered in the air and then fell onto the four sculptures one by one. The originally lifeless sculptures actually twisted their bodies and came to life, with their aura rising steadily.

"Live?"

Song Youfu's face turned slightly pale, which he had not expected.

Fortunately, he didn't have to face it alone. Song Qingxi and others who heard the noise rushed over here. Of course, there were not only them, but also Luoxia City and disciples from Tianjian Sect and Tianmai Sect who had been paying close attention to them.

Everyone gathered in the square, and they were stunned when they saw the four fully revived sacred beast sculptures. The noise was so loud that they thought a secret treasure had appeared, but they didn't expect it to be these ghost things.

Judging from the aura they release, they have already surpassed the scope of the Foundation Establishment Stage and are only slightly weaker than the Purple Mansion cultivators.

Four lifelike holy beasts perched on the bronze pillars, but did not launch an attack. Instead, they stared at everyone present with their scarlet eyes. The extremely oppressive gaze made many monks present feel their scalps tingling.

At this time, a sharp-eyed monk suddenly discovered that a pitch-black entrance had appeared in the center of the four sculptures, and it seemed to lead directly to the underground.

Lian Siyu suddenly became a little excited and cast a questioning look towards where Song Qingxi was. Song Qingxi calmly sent a voice message to her: "This place is most likely the mausoleum. These four puppets should be the guardian beasts of the mausoleum."

Lian Siyu nodded repeatedly. She thought the same thing. After searching for so long, she finally got something. She was inexplicably excited. But she also knew that now was not the time to be happy. Putting aside the four powerful guardian beasts, the disciples of the Tianmai Sect and Tianjian Sect were also potential competitors.

After thinking for a while, she pretended to be surprised and said, "Since entering the royal city, I have basically encountered no obstacles, but I didn't expect that there would be four holy beasts guarding here. It's really surprising."

Song Qingxi understood what he meant and continued, "Yes, we haven't gained much from this trip. Could this entrance be the location of the royal city's treasury?"

Because they had been plundered by the Song family beforehand, the gains of the several major forces that entered the royal city later were actually quite limited. Now, hearing what Song Qingxi said, it immediately attracted their attention.

A burly monk walked out of the Tianmai Sect's camp and said in a loud voice, "Whether it is the treasury or not, since it is so tightly guarded, the things down there must be unusual. We will know after we break in and take a look."

A brilliant young cultivator also stepped out from the Tianjian Sect's camp and said with emotion, "Fellow Daoist Xue, what you said makes sense."

Song Qingxi said with dissatisfaction on his face: "Fellow Daoists, have you made a mistake? This place was first discovered by our Song family."

Hearing this, Xue Wanjun couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's what you say, but opportunities in the world belong to those who are capable. Whoever gets it will own it."

Jian Chen immediately echoed, "That's right. The elders have already said that in the secret realm, everyone depends on their own ability. If you want to enter, can the Song family stop you?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Lian Siyu knew it was her turn to make an appearance, and she quickly stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "Listen to me, fellow Taoists. The four puppets before us are very powerful, between the foundation-building and purple mansion cultivators.

No one here can handle such a powerful force. If we are divided, both sides will suffer. If we are united, both sides will benefit. We should put aside our past grudges and work together to get rid of this puppet. Then we can talk about other things. What do you think?"

"What Brother Lian said makes sense." Xue Wanjun nodded slightly.

Although the two batches of Tianmai Sect had more than twenty people in total, they were not sure they could deal with the four puppets in front of them at the same time.

Although Jian Chen didn't say anything, he tacitly agreed with Lian Siyu's statement.

Seeing that everyone had fallen into the trap, Song Qingxi naturally went along with it and agreed.

The more people involved, the greater the success rate and the higher the survival rate.

Unexpectedly, Xue Wanjun suddenly grinned and said, "There are exactly four puppets. Each family is responsible for one. This is fair."

The faces of the Song family members changed slightly when they heard this. Among the several forces present, the Song family had the least manpower. If they were responsible for a puppet alone, they would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Lian Siyu quickly sent a message to everyone: "You just need to hold on for a while, and we will be able to help you when we are free."

Seeing her promise, Song Qingxi agreed reluctantly, but he was not actually too worried.

Although this puppet is powerful, the Song family is no pushover.

She and Song Qingxing were both cultivators who had reached the great perfection of foundation building, and with the addition of Yan Li, who was at the second-level top grade, it wouldn't be difficult for them to deal with them.

The reason why he acted so embarrassed was just to test the attitude of Luoxia City.

The result was not bad. Lian Siyu did not choose to pretend to be dead at this time.

Finally, after some distribution, the Song family was responsible for dealing with the Azure Dragon among the four sacred beasts, the Tianjian Sect was responsible for dealing with the White Tiger, the Luoxia City was responsible for dealing with the Vermillion Bird, and the Tianmai Sect was responsible for dealing with the Black Tortoise.

After the distribution was made, everyone did not rush forward at once, but instead dispatched their top combat forces at the great perfection level of foundation building.

Because only they are qualified to fight head-on with the holy beast puppet, cultivators below the great perfection of foundation building can only play around on the periphery.

The Tianmai Sect took the lead in launching a fierce attack, and the others followed closely behind.

The moment they took action, the four puppets also moved and began to clear out the group of "invaders".

Soon, the battlefield was divided into four parts.

On the Song family's side, Song Qingxing took the lead, wielding the [Traceless Sword]. The sword energy surged like a river, and he actually blocked the Azure Dragon Puppet with his own strength.

The other Song family monks also tacitly surrounded Song Qingxing and used spells or spiritual weapons to besiege the green dragon puppet. The puppet, which was more than ten feet long, was immediately submerged by the colorful spells.

But no one knew what spiritual material this Azure Dragon puppet was made of. Although it was badly damaged by the bombardment, it did not affect its combat effectiveness at all. With a flick of its tail, Song Qingcheng and Song Qingying were swept away and lay on the ground coughing up blood.

"Don't get too close!" Song Qingxi shouted loudly, signaling everyone to keep their distance, and then led Yan Li forward...

This was a battle involving nearly a hundred foundation-building cultivators, which was extremely rare even in the entire Da Qi cultivation world.

The four holy beast puppets were far more powerful than they had expected, and people were constantly injured. There was even a disciple from the Tianjian Sect who was too close and was ripped open by the sharp claws of the white tiger puppet. He was on the verge of death.

The battle lasted for three hours. The entire harem was destroyed, and the four sacred beast puppets were torn into pieces, with debris scattered all over the ground.

Song Youfu bent down and picked up a piece, and found that this small piece was mixed with at least several third-level spiritual materials.

At this moment, he finally knew the whereabouts of the disappeared spiritual materials in the treasury, whether they were far away in the sky or right in front of him.

They hurriedly collected these fragments. These were top-quality spiritual materials. They would be very expensive if they were taken back and re-melted.

After the war, the casualties were counted. A total of two people died, one from the Tianjian Sect and one from Luoxia City, and nineteen were injured, four of whom were from the Song family.

Song Qingxi took the opportunity to let Song Youhe lead them out of the Lost Pearl World, and the remaining cultivators joined forces with Luoxia City and headed towards the entrance of the mausoleum...
