Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"How did it get like this? Was there a conflict?"

In the cave in the valley, Song Changsheng looked at Song Youhe and others who came out of the small world and asked in a low voice after approaching them.

"Reporting to the clan leader, we have found the suspected location of the mausoleum and fought with the four guardian beasts at the entrance of the mausoleum. These are the wounded in the battle. Aunt Qingxi asked her grandson to escort them out. They should have gone in to explore by now."

In response to Song Changsheng's question, Song Youhe responded respectfully.

"No one from the tribe died?"

This is the issue that Song Changsheng is most concerned about. There is no problem in helping Luoxia City fight for the [Imperial Seal], but if it comes at the cost of the lives of his clansmen, it would be too unfair.

"No, all the wounded are here."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng nodded. While using the [Light of Revival] to heal everyone's injuries, he listened to Song Youhe narrating the details of development in the small world.

When he learned that the Tianjian Sect and the Tianmai Sect had also discovered the location of the royal city and joined the fight, he sighed deeply. This was the result he least wanted to see, because the fight would inevitably be accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice.

Unfortunately, the Song family and Luoxia City have relatively few people compared to the other two. The only thing to be thankful for is that the Tianjian Sect and the Tianmai Sect no longer have the trust they once had.

Back then, the Tianjian Sect was the number one henchman under the Tianmai Sect, and the two sects joining forces were enough to completely suppress the Song family and Luoxia City.

Compared to Song Changsheng's worry, Shen Qingxiu was inexplicably excited. Although it was a little different from her expectations, at least she had found the location of the mausoleum.

Luoxia City has a clear goal, while the people of Tianjian Sect and Tianmai Sect are still kept in the dark. There is a huge information gap between the two sides, and this is the advantage of Luoxia City.

At the critical moment, just throwing out some small profits would be enough to make the Tianjian Sect and the Tianmai Sect turn against each other.

Just in case, after careful consideration, Shen Qingxiu quietly sent a message...

At the same time, after a rest, Song Qingxi and others, together with a group of Luoxia City disciples led by Lian Siyu, had passed through the entrance and arrived at the square.

What they saw was a vast underground world with no end in sight. A straight and wide road stretched from under their feet all the way forward, and no one knew where it led to.

On both sides of the road are peculiar buildings full of ancient style. If you look closely, you can find that these buildings are almost exactly the same as the royal city above, and even the layout is extremely similar.

Song Youfu couldn't help but sighed: "Could these people have copied a royal city one-to-one in this underground world?"

"It is highly likely that it is. This is also a tradition that has been passed down by the royal family of the Great Qi Dynasty. At the foot of the Longyun Mountains in Qingzhou, there is a royal mausoleum that is exactly the same as the former Qiwang City. The successive kings of the Great Qi Dynasty and their direct royal family members are buried there.

There are countless rare and exotic animals, rare spiritual materials and exquisite utensils buried with the dead.

Unfortunately, after the fall of the Great Qi Dynasty, the royal mausoleum was severely damaged. It was ransacked countless times and has long been unrecognizable. However, this place is very well preserved. "

Lian Siyu knew a little more about this. During an exchange between the Jinwu Sect and Luoxia City, she even went to the Longyun Mountains in person and saw with her own eyes the ancient mausoleum that had lasted for an era.

Compared with the authentic royal mausoleum, the one in front of her was far inferior and did not shock her at all. She was only concerned about where the [Imperial Seal] was.

Hearing this, Song Youfu couldn't help but marvel at it. It would be fine if these people wanted to be the masters when they were alive, but even after death they wanted to build an underground kingdom and be the masters of the underground.

It’s a pity that after death, people will enter reincarnation, and no one is qualified to be the master of the underworld. All this is just to satisfy one’s own selfish desires.

"The sun and the moon actually exist in this underground world."

At this time, Song Changxue suddenly pointed at the two objects in the air that were emitting light and said in surprise.

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw two objects hanging high in the sky, one on the left and one on the right. One was round and orange-red, and the other was crescent-shaped, bright white all over. They moved in the sky like the sun and the moon, releasing a faint light.

This was a very strange phenomenon. After all, they had also looked up at the sky of the Lost Pearl world, and it was gray and there was no trace of the sun, moon, or stars at all.

On the contrary, this underground world not only has the "sun and the moon", but also many dim "stars", which is really strange.

"After all, it is an underground world they built for themselves, so naturally there must be the sun, moon and stars. If I am not mistaken, the sun and moon currently moving in the sky should be two magical instruments of high grade, specially used to simulate the sun and moon."

At this point, Lian Siyu smiled and said, "Let them fight over these. We have more important things to do."

After saying that, Lian Siyu led a group of Luoxia City disciples along the wide road under their feet, flying forward on their swords.

Although this underground world is large, there are not many places where the [Imperial Seal] may be found. At most, there are two locations: the main hall and the tomb of the Human King.

Needless to say, the location of the main hall is good. Just go to the center of the underground world. Sooner or later, you will encounter...

As Lian Siyu expected, the cultivators from the Tianjian Sect and Tianmai Sect, who entered the mausoleum a step later than them, were attracted by the "sun and moon" moving at a constant speed in the sky. They sent people to snatch it. Blinded by the interests, they had no time to continue staring at the people from Luoxia City and the Song family.

By the time they reacted, they had already lost sight of the crowd.

Song Qingxi and others traveled quickly all the way from the outer city into the inner city, and then into the final underground palace, but what caught their eyes was not the expected main hall, but a pyramid similar to an altar.

The pyramid is stacked layer upon layer, dozens of feet high. In the center there is a white jade staircase leading directly to the top of the pyramid. Below the top of the pyramid there is a tightly closed bronze door.

These are just ordinary things. The most shocking are the human-shaped sculptures surrounding the pyramid. At a glance, one can see tens of thousands of human-shaped sculptures surrounding the pyramid in three layers inside and outside, making it impossible to get in or out.

Fifty of them form a small square formation, and ten small square formations form a large square formation of five hundred. This large square formation is finally integrated into a larger square formation. They are arranged tightly and in good order, and carry a solemn and murderous aura.

They held bronze spears in their hands and long swords on their waists. They knelt on one knee facing the direction of the pyramid with their heads bowed deeply.

In addition to the large square formation of more than 10,000 people in the center, there are two square formations of the same size on the left and right.

On the left were huge chariots, pulled not by fine horses but by ferocious beasts, such as lions, wolves, tigers and leopards. There were several driver-men on the chariots, two of whom were armed with spears, swords and halberds, and four of whom were carrying bows, crossbows and arrows.

A rough count revealed that there were actually hundreds of them.

On the right were several huge warships with ferocious muzzles, which were exactly the same as the warships that the brothers Song Youfu and Song Youlin had seen in the treasury of Qi Wang City above. They were all made of spiritual wood and had already decayed under the erosion of time.

This alone shows how powerful the country established by the remnants of the Great Qi Dynasty was. In order to restore the country, they accumulated a huge amount of power. Unfortunately, in the end, it was destroyed by their own hands, which was sad and lamentable.

"If we are not careful, we might end up in an incredible place." Song Changxuan said as he looked at the scene in front of him.

According to their original plan, they should first find the location of the main hall like they did when exploring the royal city, and then search from point to surface to all areas where the [Imperial Seal] might exist.

Who knew that the layout of this mausoleum was only consistent in the outer part and the royal city above, but it was drastically different once you reached the inner city? As a result, I accidentally came to such a strange place.

"If I'm not mistaken, this might be the location of the Human King's tomb." Lian Siyu's voice was soft, but her slightly trembling fingertips revealed that her heart was far from as calm as she appeared at the moment.

Compared to the main hall, the possibility of finding the [Imperial Seal] in the Human King’s Tomb is much greater.

Qi Zhenghuan was the last human king of the former Great Qi Dynasty. His death represented the complete destruction of the Great Qi Dynasty. The [Imperial Seal] was most likely taken into the coffin as a burial object.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes in unison passed over the densely packed human-shaped sculptures and fell on the tightly closed bronze door above the pyramid.

Song Qingxi said very tactfully: "Since the Human King's Tomb is within sight, you can go there by yourself. If cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect or Heavenly Veins Sect follow us, we will try our best to buy you some time."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble all the fellow Taoists of the Song Clan. Regardless of success or failure, Luoxia will definitely reward you handsomely afterwards."

Lian Siyu did not refuse and agreed directly, because they really needed someone to deal with the people from Tianjian Sect and Tianmai Sect for them. Since Song Qingxi took the initiative to bring it up, she didn't need to waste any more words.

After bowing to everyone, Lian Siyu led a group of monks from Luoxia City and flew straight towards the bronze gate on their swords.

But just as they reached the sky above the martial arts arena, they felt a huge force suddenly pressing down on them. Caught off guard, the group of foundation-building monks from Luoxia City fell from the sky like dumplings, looking quite embarrassed.

"【Forbidden Sky Array】."

Lian Siyu was not surprised but happy.

Any cultivator from Luoxia City would be familiar with this kind of formation, because Tianyin Mountain has a large [Forbidden Air Formation]. When you reach the foot of the mountain, any cultivator below the Purple Mansion Stage can only climb to the top of the mountain honestly.

This is a way of demonstrating power and is generally only used in special places. Its appearance also indirectly confirms Lian Siyu's guess.

A group of people passed through the square formation, followed the straight white jade steps, climbed up the pyramid step by step, and soon arrived in front of the bronze gate.

Looking at this scene, Song Qingdian pursed his lips and said, "Are we just going to just stand by and watch?"

"What else? Should we compete with Luoxia City and then become enemies?" Song Qingxi asked back.

“That’s not what I meant, I just feel a little unwilling that the family has put so much effort, but in the end, they are just spectators.

There must be many burial objects in the Human King's Tomb. We won't fight with them for the [Imperial Seal]. We can just go in and take some of the burial objects."

When everyone heard this, a look of approval immediately appeared on their faces, and Song Qingdian was not the only one who had this idea.

They heard from Song Youhe that all the human kings in the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty started out as Yuanying Zhenjun, and there were many Jindan Zhenjun below them.

With so many powerful people around, will there be a shortage of mental methods, magical powers, and treasures?

Obviously it is impossible.

With the fall of the Immortal Dynasty, most of these inheritances were also buried in the coffin along with the last Human King. They dared not even think about the inheritance of the Human King, but if they could obtain the inheritance of a certain Jindan Zhenren, then it would not be in vain for them to pay such a huge price, right?
Song Qingxi smiled helplessly and said, "Although the purpose of our trip is to get the [Imperial Seal], where is it kept? Does it exist at all? These are all unknowns.

If they don't find the [Imperial Seal] after we go in, do you think they will suspect us?"

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other in silence. They all knew in their hearts that this was bound to happen, because that was the [Imperial Seal], which was ten or a hundred times more important than the Golden Elixir inheritance. The other party would never miss any possibility.

"Luoxia City will pay as much as the effort we put in. Don't worry, we won't suffer any loss." Song Qingxi smiled and comforted everyone.

While everyone was talking, Lian Siyu and others had already broken the restriction of the bronze gate and were ready to enter the interior of the pyramid.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The pyramid beneath their feet suddenly began to vibrate violently without any warning. Dazzling colorful light burst out from behind the bronze gate, and a loud dragon roar resounded throughout the underground world.

Then, a streak of light rushed out at lightning speed. Looking at the outline, it was clearly a white jade seal.

"【Imperial Seal】?"

A gleam of light flashed in Lian Siyu's eyes, and she stretched out her hand to intercept it.

As a result, before her hand touched the seal, a powerful force acted on her body, knocking her away and causing her to cough up blood.

Regardless of her own injuries, Lian Siyu shouted loudly, "Stop it!"

After witnessing the power of the seal, everyone became much more cautious and took out their magical weapons in an attempt to intercept it.

But the spiritual weapons and even magic weapons they had were like paper in front of the seal, and the blockade was easily broken.

The seal flew up into the sky, emitting a dazzling light. The light fell on the sculptures outside the pyramid, and the copper rust covering the surface of the sculptures immediately began to fall off in large chunks...

……

ps: It’s the last day of 2024 in a blink of an eye. How do you plan to celebrate the New Year?
