Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Su Ding looked at Song Changsheng steadily. At this moment, he seemed to see the shadow of his youth in the other person. All the things that had happened before seemed to be completely relieved at this moment.

"In that case, the last candidate is you, and you should take the formation diagram and study it carefully. Although the decisive battle is imminent, with your talent in formation, you should not fall behind in progress." Su Ding waved his sleeves and threw out a scroll, saying calmly.

"I will follow the orders of the Immortal." Song Changsheng saluted respectfully, then left the hall with Bai Zhengchun.

"Uncle Master, have you found out anything about the leader of the Qingtian Sect?"

After arriving outside the hall, Song Changsheng asked about the results of the investigation into the unknown Jindan cultivator who appeared at Cangmang Peak.

“When the incident happened, the masters had just called us together to discuss matters related to the [Five Spirit Prisoner Heaven Formation]. Qingtian participated in the entire meeting and did not leave until the end. She had no motive to commit the crime.

In addition, True Man Jin Yang has personally confirmed that Qingtian's cultivation level is indeed only at the Great Perfection of Purple Mansion, and this is most likely a coincidence.

However, to be on the safe side, it has been excluded from the core for now." Bai Zhengchun said slowly.

"Coincidence? Are there really two pairs of eyes in the world that are so similar?" Song Changsheng instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. After all, Su Ding had already confirmed it personally.

With his level of cultivation, it is basically impossible for him to make a mistake.

Bai Zhengchun nodded upon hearing this and said, "It is undeniable that she is indeed a suspect, but with a war imminent, she cannot be executed without guilt. Evidence is required for everything.

These are not things you need to consider at this stage. The decisive battle is coming soon, and your first priority now is to understand this battle map thoroughly."

"Disciple, don't worry."

When they returned to the coalition camp, someone had already arranged a camp for them. It was full of animal skin tents. Only Song Changsheng and Chihuo Laogui each had a cave with a shielding barrier. Both were opened directly on the sacred peak and were filled with spiritual energy.

After Song Changsheng entered the cave, he opened the scroll given to him by Su Ding.

[Five Spirits Prisoning Heaven Formation] is actually also a kind of combination formation. As the name suggests, it is composed of five separate sub-formations called "Five Spirits", namely the Azure Dragon in the East, the Vermillion Bird in the South, the White Tiger in the West, the Black Tortoise in the North, and the Qilin in the Center.

Legend has it that this is a peerless formation created by an ancient powerful being that can seal off the heaven and earth.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the legend says in actual use, its power is not weak. It has appeared in ancient books many times. Song Changsheng is very interested in it. It's a pity that "The Magic Book of Creation" is not from the same era and does not include this formation. He didn't expect to see it here.

Moreover, Su Ding once said that this formation diagram came from the Formation Academy.

This was the second time he heard this name from someone else's mouth.

The Formation Academy is a holy place that all formation masters in the world yearn for. It is the highest hall for formation masters. From ancient times to the present, as long as the formation has been passed down, it can be found in the vast scripture library of the Formation Academy.

Speaking of which, he is somewhat involved with this Taoist Academy.

He was once invited by Zhu Yiqun to visit the ruins of an ancient cultivator. Fortunately, he obtained the legacy left by the owner of the cave. According to his own account, his name was He Yunxuan, and he came from the Formation Academy. He traveled to Da Qi and unfortunately died in the end.

Although he was unable to break through the Purple Mansion until his death, his talent in formation was unparalleled. The "Formation Carved with the Body" he created had helped Song Changsheng escape danger many times.

However, as his cultivation level increased, the moments when he could force Song Changsheng into a desperate situation became fewer and fewer, and the "Formation Carved with the Body" had not been used for a long time.

Even so, this is still a powerful killer weapon that Song Changsheng has in his hands.

Decades have passed in a flash. He was just a rookie back then, and now he is nearly a hundred years old. Time flies, and hearing this name again is truly filled with emotion.

"I only hope that I can complete Senior He's instructions to me during my lifetime." Gently stroking the scroll with his fingertips, Song Changsheng sighed softly, his eyes full of reminiscence.

At the beginning, He Yunxuan once mentioned to him a disciple of the Formation Academy named Gu Yiyi, asking him to engrave a copy of "Engraving the Formation with One's Body" and give it to her when he has the chance. (For details, see Chapter 50 of this book, Chapter 179 of Volume )
Song Changsheng always kept this instruction in mind.

However, he had heavy family responsibilities on his shoulders and the Formation Academy was too far away, so he had not been able to fulfill his promise, which became a great regret in his heart.

"Since the Tianmai Sect was able to obtain the formation diagram of the [Five Spirits Prison Heaven Formation] from the Formation Academy, does it mean that the Formation Academy is behind the Tianmai Sect?" Song Changsheng pondered in his heart.

If what he guessed was true, then the Tianmai Sect would have really found a very powerful ally.

Judging from the scale and size of the Formation Academy, it is enough to rank in the top ten after the human race’s holy land, and it is truly the top force of the human race.

In comparison, the Jinwu Sect, which has been fighting with the Tianmai Sect for a lifetime, should not be much worse. Only such a powerful force is qualified to negotiate with a Demon King.

"Once the family is settled, I will go to the Formation Academy to complete Senior He's request.

But time flies, and two hundred years have passed in a hurry. I wonder if Senior He’s beloved is still alive in the world?" Song Changsheng thought secretly.

At that time, He Yunxuan was just a foundation-building cultivator, and Gu Yiyi was probably not far behind. If they had not set foot in the Purple Mansion, they would probably be nothing but a pile of bones now.

He did not continue to think deeply about it, but just kept it firmly in mind. After all, the most important thing at the moment was to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle. If he could not survive this disaster, everything else would be in vain.

Spreading out the scroll in his hand completely, Song Changsheng began to understand the formation diagram in depth.

The sub-formation assigned to him was the Western White Tiger, which controlled the killing power of the main formation.

If the [Five Spirits Prison Heaven Formation] is compared to a sharp sword, then this position is the tip and blade of the sword, which plays a crucial role in fighting the enemy.

According to his estimation, this position should belong to Bai Zhengchun. After all, he practiced the way of killing and was a ruthless person who created a lot of corpses and blood when he was young. It was most appropriate for him to form this "sword blade".

But I never thought that it would fall on my head.

He originally thought that he would be assigned to the central Qilin position. After all, he was the only third-rank formation master among the five. Only by sitting in the center could he maximize the effect of the formation.

In fact, it is normal to think about it. The purpose of their forming this formation is not just to trap the [Howling Moon Wolf King], but also to find an opportunity to kill it and achieve the effect of quickly breaking the deadlock.

In this case, the "sword blade" part becomes particularly important. As the number one person under the Jindan level now recognized by the public, it is most reasonable for Song Changsheng to guard this position.

He calmed down and quietly familiarized himself with everything about the formation, and soon he was immersed in it...

"Woo~~"

"Woooooo~~~"

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Song Changsheng was awakened by a high and distant horn sound. He slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said secretly: "Is it finally here?" He walked out of the cave and found that the coalition forces had begun to break camp in an orderly manner, and the flying boats and warships in the rear began to take off in groups.

For a moment, the air was filled with the tense atmosphere before the war, and Song Changsheng seemed to have smelled a pungent smell of blood.

At this time, a Luoxia City disciple wearing a scarlet cloud robe came over and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master ordered this disciple to come and ask the elder to meet the real masters."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Song Changsheng nodded, and in a flash he appeared outside the hall.

Walking into the hall, in addition to the five immortals and Bai Zhengchun, there were three more purple mansion monks with auras as deep as the abyss.

They are the last few candidates to form the big formation. Except Su Ye, Song Changsheng doesn’t know the other two.

Seeing Song Changsheng enter the hall, Su Ye stood up and said enthusiastically: "The Song clan leader is here, let me introduce you, this is my clan's Yuanzhou garrison commander, Chen Wushang."

The person he was referring to was a taciturn middle-aged cultivator who carried a long sword on his back, appearing to be somewhat eccentric. Song Changsheng could clearly feel the sharpness contained in the other's body.

This is a swordsman!
The Jinwu Sect monopolizes the four states of Qing, Yuan, Ming and Long in Da Qi. Except for Qingzhou where the headquarters is located, the other three states have a garrison commander. Only a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Purple Mansion can hold this position, and each of them is a prestigious and powerful existence.

And Chen Wushang is the strongest one among them. Like Su Ye, he is also one of the golden elixir seeds of the Jinwu Sect.

From this, it can be seen that the Jinwu Sect fought with all its might in this battle, and directly took out its two strongest golden elixir seeds.

"Fellow Daoist Chen." Song Changsheng bowed.

Hearing this, Chen Wushang nodded slightly at him as a greeting.

"My uncle-master is not good at speaking, so don't take it to heart." Su Ye explained to Song Changsheng through voice transmission, then looked at a square and dignified white-haired old man and said, "This is Meng Hao, the great elder of the Tianmai Sect."

"I have heard of your name for a long time, Senior. I am honored to meet you."

He is a legendary figure in the Tianmai Sect. In terms of seniority, he is higher than Shi Potian and Bai Yan. He has served as the Grand Elder of the Tianmai Sect for nearly three hundred years and is known for his tough tactics and impartiality.

The rapid development of Tianmai Sect in recent years is closely related to Meng Hao’s personal abilities.

When Song Xianyun was alive, he always took Meng Hao as his role model. Therefore, although Song Changsheng had never met him, he always respected him in his heart.

Meng Hao was somewhat surprised by Song Changsheng's modesty. He responded in a serious tone, "Fellow Daoist Song, you are too polite. We can just be friends as equals."

After they all got to know each other, Su Ding, who was at the head, slowly said, "The power of the demon king is extraordinary. You are the future of our Great Qi, so you should be protected."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers and a ray of light entered Su Ye's body.

Immediately afterwards, the other four real people present gave Song Changsheng and others a ray of spiritual light in a one-on-one manner.

Among them, Song Changsheng's came from Bai Yan. After the spiritual light entered his body, he clearly felt that there was a powerful force in his body that did not belong to him, and he could easily activate it.

“This is the [Spiritual Light Body Protection], which contains a trace of our essence and can save your lives at the critical moment.

If you can mobilize this power on your own, you can also unleash a full-strength attack equivalent to that of an early Jindan cultivator. Use it well and don't waste it."

Su Ding said it lightly, but everyone present could understand the weight of his words.

The origin is the foundation of a cultivator, even if there is only a trace of it it is extremely precious.

"Thank you for your protection, Immortal. We will fight to the death and will never let the Howling Moon Wolf King step out of the formation!" Everyone answered in unison.

Su Ding did not comment, turned his head and looked at Shi Potian and others and said: "Fellow Daoist Shi, although I have fought with you and your master for a lifetime, we have also joined forces. Now are you willing to join forces with me for this final battle?"

Shi Potian said solemnly: "Private fighting is for small profits, and joining forces is for the greater good of the family and the country. In the face of the life and death of Da Qi, the private grudges between the two sects are not worth mentioning. Shi is willing to follow fellow Taoist to fight for a bright future for Da Qi."

"In that case, let's go meet that old snake!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ding rolled up his sleeves, and the entire hall suddenly became empty...

Song Changsheng only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in a boundless swamp.

Song Changsheng was very familiar with this place. He had come here with Niu Dazhuang before to gather information. It was the lair of the [Black Dragon Demon King].

"A thousand miles in a blink of an eye, is it possible that Su Ding's understanding of the way of space is so profound?" Song Changsheng couldn't help but feel a little shocked. In comparison, he was like a young baby.

"Su Ding, are you here to seek death?"

From the depths of the swamp, a powerful voice slowly came out, exploding in everyone's ears like a muffled thunder, and frightened the monsters in the swamp so much that they trembled in fear.

"Black Dragon, you were lucky enough to escape with your life under Luoxia City and have survived until now. Now it's time for you to pay for your crimes." Su Ding had a blank expression on his face, but his words were like a sharp thorn that pierced the heart of the [Black Dragon Demon King].

It regarded that battle as a lifelong shame, and now the bloody scar was once again revealed by Su Ding.

"You are looking for death!" The [Black Dragon Demon King] was furious. It was indeed no match for Su Ding in the past, but now is different from the past, it has been reborn!

Song Changsheng suddenly felt the swamp below was shaking violently. A thousand-foot-long black dragon tore through the clouds and appeared in front of them, its eyes flashing with a chilling light.

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, Song Changsheng could clearly feel the heart-pounding and powerful force released from the other party.

"Wow"

Suddenly, a hurricane arose in the sky, and a huge colorful butterfly flapped its wings and appeared above the head of the [Black Dragon Demon King]. It was breathtakingly beautiful, and every flap of its wings caused a strong resonance in the space.

"【Sky-Splitting Demon King】, Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly!" Song Changsheng felt his throat a little dry.

After it, two more powerful auras followed, and their huge outlines were looming in the clouds...
