Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Song Changsheng cut his palm and let the bright red blood drip onto the Chengyuan Sword. It was like a dry sponge, greedily sucking up the blood rich in the essence of life.

Soon, the bronze sword body was replaced by a striking red color, and the power that had been dormant in the body for ten thousand years began to slowly awaken. Such a vastness was something Song Changsheng had never seen in his life.

"Man chooses the sword, and the sword also chooses the man. Whether I am qualified to bear the weight of the abyss will depend on this moment!" Song Changsheng's eyes were as bright as stars. He slowly and firmly grasped the hilt of the Chengyuan Sword with his wounded right hand.

The blood soaked the hilt wrapped with silk thread, and the [Chengyuan Sword] let out a clear sword chant. The sword body began to tremble slightly, and a strange feeling arose spontaneously. For a moment, he seemed to have merged with the sword.

This is a feeling that I have never had with any sword before.

"Om..."

Ripples spread out in all directions with the Chengyuan Sword as the center. The sword guard and the runes engraved on the sword were reflected in the air, surrounding Song Changsheng.

These characters created by the ancestors of the human race in the ancient times seemed to come alive at this moment. They had life and danced around Song Changsheng like elves, gathering and dispersing. The entire secret room was dyed a brilliant golden color by them.

Song Changsheng looked at the scene in front of him, a little dazed.

"Wow"

All the runes suddenly gathered together to form the shadow of a divine general who was ten feet tall, wearing full-body golden heavy armor and holding a giant sword.

The other person's eyes hidden under the metal mask were unusually empty, but when Song Changsheng looked into his eyes, he felt that those eyes contained a different kind of emotion.

The two sides just stared at each other quietly, as if they had crossed the long river of time and returned to the era of the Immortal Dynasty with its wars, iron cavalry and domineering aura.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the general suddenly placed his sword in both hands, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice, "Jiushen, I am at your service!"

Song Changsheng would never have such a thing happen.

However, he already had a rough guess about the origin of this "giant spirit".

It can be regarded as the spirit of the [Chengyuan Sword], but unlike ordinary spirits, because the "Human King Sword" needs to suppress the collective destiny, its spirit has very little independent consciousness and is more like a puppet or a thug.

The advantage is that this weapon spirit can be said to be immortal and indestructible. As long as its luck is not broken, it can be quickly reorganized even if it is defeated.

During the Immortal Dynasty, they often played roles such as "guardian general of the country".

Just like the [Chengyuan Sword], it has no specific grade or level of cultivation. Its power changes with the collective luck.

The strong become stronger, and the weak become weaker.

"Return to your place and cultivate yourself."

Although he wanted to test the strength of this "Giant Spirit General", Song Changsheng was connected to the Qi of the Chengyuan Sword at the moment. He knew that the general in front of him had just awakened and was not connected to the collective luck of the Song family. He was in a very weak stage and had no meaning to refer to it at all. It would be better to wait until it recovers some strength before making a decision.

"As ordered!"

The giant spirit's voice was like thunder, making Song Changsheng's eardrums rumble. Then it dispersed into golden runes all over the sky and turned into a golden torrent that poured into the [Chengyuan Sword].

In an instant, everything returned to calm, and the [Chengyuan Sword] returned to its previous ordinary appearance.

But anyone who has experienced what Song Changsheng just experienced would not underestimate it at all, because this sword contains vast and terrifying power.

The most terrifying thing is its growth ability. No one knows where its upper limit is.
"Qing Xing's [Wuhen] was able to suppress [Cheng Yuan], it seems that he is not a simple person."

Song Changsheng sighed slightly, then flew to the family's Soul Lamp Hall. Song Xianming, Song Luzhou, Song Qingxing and other elders who knew the situation had already arrived before him.

"Is it done?"

Seeing Song Changsheng coming, Song Xianming immediately asked with concern.

"It's done, and it went more smoothly than expected. Let's go in together."

Everyone entered the Soul Lamp Hall and first bowed respectfully to the ancestral tablets and soul lamps. Then Song Changsheng knelt on the cushion and told the family's heroes why he came.

After doing all this, Song Changsheng took out [Cheng Yuan] and inserted it above the altar prepared in advance behind the spirit tablet of the first ancestor Song Taiyi, leaving only the hilt exposed.

Afterwards, everyone stood in a line and, led by Song Changsheng, slowly bowed towards the Chengyuan sword.

In order to witness the gathering process of "luck", Song Changsheng opened his [Eye of Truth], hoping to witness this historic moment with his own eyes.

"bye!"

They all bowed down together, and in places invisible to the others, wisps of "qi" of various colors were released from their bodies, some like trickles, and some like the mighty Yangtze River.

These "qi" represent their respective fortunes.

Among them, Song Changsheng's luck was the most profound, like the mighty Yangtze River. He alone surpassed everyone else's "qi".

The second is Song Qingxing, who is probably only half as powerful as Song Changsheng, but should not be underestimated either, like a surging river.

Going down, they are Song Qingxi, Song Xianming, Song Luzhou, and Song Changan.

There is a huge gap between these people. However, Song Qingxi was more influenced by Song Changsheng and Song Qingxing. Her own luck is actually not outstanding.

Beside the crowd, Jin Xuan, who was inseparable from Song Changsheng, also held up a pair of front paws and bowed towards Cheng Yuan in a similar manner. An "aura" comparable to that of Song Qingxing emanated from his body, and he was also a person of great luck.

These "qi" gathered together and then were injected into the [Chengyuan Sword]. Everyone present suddenly felt as if they had lost something, but this feeling soon disappeared.

Before anyone could think about it, Song Changsheng's voice came to their ears again: "Bow!"

Everyone bowed down again, but this time it was not them that were affected, but the soul lamps and spirit tablets in the Soul Lamp Hall. No matter whether the soul lamps were still burning or had been extinguished, "qi" was generated one after another.

The soul lamps and the cultivators are one and the same, and can tell their life and death. Therefore, a portion of luck is also entrusted to these soul lamps. Now all of this luck has been absorbed by [Cheng Yuan] and integrated into the collective luck.

The "qi" that appeared on those extinguished soul lamps was the last bit of legacy left by the deceased Song family monks to their clansmen.

After a monk dies, his soul will return to heaven and earth and reincarnate again, but the monks in the world of cultivation still believe that "the spirit exists in heaven."

This "spirit" does not refer to the soul, but the "blessings" left by our ancestors.

These "blessings" have been secretly protecting everyone.

Now, these "blessings" have also been integrated into the collective destiny.

"bye!"

Song Changsheng's voice sounded again.

Everyone bowed in awe, and invisible "lines" spread out from the altar where Cheng Yuan was, and attached to everyone present. This was a sign that they had integrated into the collective destiny. Unless they were expelled from the Song family, this line would only be broken when they passed away.

After three bows, Song Changsheng asked everyone to stand up.

During the whole process, except for Song Changsheng who witnessed the gathering of luck with his own eyes, the others did not feel anything special.

"It has ended?"

Song Changsheng nodded slightly and said affirmatively: "It's over. It was a success."

"It's good that nothing went wrong. Then, should we let the rest of the clansmen come in and pay their respects?" Song Xianming said with relief.

Song Changsheng waved his sleeves and activated the formation he had prepared in advance, hiding the [Chengyuan Sword], and then said: "Let everyone come in to worship in batches. Leave the tribesmen who are training and stationed outside for now, and it will be the same when they come back to worship."

Just like that, an order to worship the ancestors was issued from Song Luzhou's hands. Although the cultivators on the mountain felt a little strange, they did not think much about it.

For every member of the Song family, ancestor worship is a correct and unquestionable thing to do. After finishing their work at hand, everyone rushes to the Soul Lamp Hall in groups of three or five to worship.

With the idea of ​​finding out the truth, Song Changsheng did not leave, but hid in the Soul Lamp Hall.

After reading it, I realized that the luck of most cultivators is actually very weak, and some can even be ignored.

Those who are slightly better can reach the level of Song Luzhou and Song Changan. However, a little bit of luck adds up to a tower, and after all these lucks are gathered together, they are still quite considerable.

Moreover, the two people Song Changsheng was most looking forward to had not arrived yet.

It was not until sunset that Song Youfu and Song Youlin arrived at the Soul Lamp Hall together.

When the two of them bowed, Song Changsheng's eyes almost popped out.

The "energy" on Song Youlin's body gathered into a river, which was almost the same as that on Song Qingxing's. This was not too exaggerated. However, the "energy" on Song Youfu's body was a "dragon".

Although it was a young dragon without horns, it was still shocking enough.

In terms of momentum, Song Youfu is indeed not as good as Song Changsheng, but he is tangible, so it is hard to say who is better.

"No wonder he has such good luck every time he goes down the mountain. It's hard for him to have bad luck with such great luck. This is really a gift from God."

Song Changsheng, who was standing by, felt a little jealous.

In fact, Song Changsheng overlooked one point. The reason why Song Youfu had such profound luck, in addition to himself, actually also included the part of the [Silver Ring Treasure Hunting Rat]. This was the effect of the superposition of the two.

With the infusion of the two people's profound luck, the [Chengyuan Sword] suddenly underwent a drastic change. A lifelike purple dragon shadow vaguely appeared in the sky above the Soul Lamp Palace.

Even though it is less than ten feet long, it is at least an "adult" and not a "baby dragon" like Song Youfu.

"My luck is like a dragon..." Looking at the dragon shadow in the sky, Song Changsheng sighed sincerely. What was recorded in the ancient books has become a reality at this moment.

Finally, Song Changsheng clenched his fists and said secretly in his heart: "I hope that everyone in my Song family will be like a dragon!"

……

Although [Cheng Yuan] suppressed the family's luck, there was no obvious change for the Song family. This was actually normal, as luck was something that changed imperceptibly.

It may take a generation or even several generations before obvious changes are seen.

Therefore, Song Changsheng was not in a hurry and began to concentrate on preparing for his trip to Luoxia City.

There are two main things in this trip to Luoxia City. One is to collect the reward that the Song family deserves, and the other is to sell the "chips" in the Song family's hands for a good price.

And these "chips" naturally refer to the fragments of seals and the classics in the library that they brought back.

Of course, one still has to know which books can be traded and which cannot, such as some secrets and the magical powers kept by the Song family. The most important point is to erase the part related to [Cheng Yuan].

However, it cannot be completely erased, as this would arouse suspicion. An appropriate portion must be left behind, as long as Luoxia City does not suspect the Song family.

After everything was prepared, Song Changsheng set off for Luoxia City.

Coincidentally, Shen Qingxiu had also returned from Xuzhou at this time, and she was responsible for talking to Song Changsheng in Luoxia City.

The Song family made a great contribution this time. The royal city, mausoleum, etc. were all discovered by the Song family cultivators, and they also gave up all the subsequent benefits. Even Song Changsheng could not guess what kind of reward Luoxia City would give for a while.

The matter had already been discussed within Luoxia City, so both sides went straight to the point.

Shen Qingxiu took out a cut animal skin and handed it to Song Changsheng, saying with a smile: "I won't read it, you should read it yourself."

Song Changsheng took it and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The first line on the animal skin was written neatly: Two spiritual objects from heaven and earth as rewards.

The only thing Song Changsheng lacks to complete the Five Elements of Dao Rhythm is a spiritual object of heaven and earth of the positive wood attribute. It does not specify the attributes of the spiritual object of heaven and earth that will be rewarded, which means that he can choose freely.

This shows the gap between the Song family and Luoxia City. When it comes to finding spiritual objects from heaven and earth, the Song family can only take their chances, but Luoxia City has stable and reliable channels.

When he saw this, Song Changsheng felt both surprised and touched.

He himself has dual spiritual roots, and obtained the metal-positive [Gen Jin Qi] from Zhuang Yuechan. Theoretically, he still lacks the earth-positive and wood-positive, and this reward can cover all of them.

He knew that his teacher was paving the way for him.

Mu Guibai did not suppress him just because he had the potential to break through the Jindan stage. Instead, he chose to support him with practical actions.

In this regard, Luoxia City's style of doing things is completely different from that of Tianmai Sect.

Song Changsheng was also glad for his choice.

When the Song family and Luoxia City formed an alliance, many people secretly laughed at the joke and thought that this so-called alliance was just a way for the Song family to flatter itself.

In fact, it is still the master and the dog.

In fact, over the years of alliance, Luoxia City has indeed helped the Song family a lot and has never interfered in the Song family's internal affairs.

This can no longer be simply described as "allies"...
