Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"The battle of Dongchen Island lasted for three months, and 322 members of our clan shed their blood in the East China Sea. At the same time, tens of thousands of members of our clan fought fiercely at sea. The bodies of our family's loyal soldiers are still warm, but you only cling to the little power in your hands.

You guys have been fighting for power all day long, and you have turned a good family into a mess. Some people even murdered members of the family and robbed them. You are no different from beasts!"

Song Tianyuan sat high up at the head of the table, and his words were so powerful and murderous that anyone with a guilty conscience felt like a thorn in the side.

No matter how noble their status in the clan is, no matter how much power they hold, they can only keep their tails between their legs in front of Song Tianyuan.

Before being promoted to the Grand Elder, he had served as a Penal Elder for two hundred years. The number of powerful elders who had fallen at his hands could not be counted on one hand.

That was also the best period of time for the Song family in nearly a thousand years.

After breaking through the Jindan stage, he has been guarding the East China Sea and rarely asked about family affairs. When Song Jiyuan laid out piece of ironclad evidence in front of him, he realized what had become of the great family for which he had fought all his life.

Song Xiangjie, who was sitting in the middle, had cold sweat on his forehead. Even though he was a cultivator in the late Purple Mansion period, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

He knew that after the mountain visit incident, what he had done to Song Lu Ke would definitely be dug out, so for this matter, he even went to find Song Wuji specifically to make a big deal out of a small matter.

Song Wuji also promised to do his best to protect him, so when he saw Song Jiyuan making trouble, he didn't actually feel much pressure in his heart, but after Song Tianyuan showed up, he knew that he couldn't escape this time.

He could feel a murderous aura surrounding his neck.

"Where is the Punishment Elder?" Song Tianyuan suddenly shouted.

The punishment elder Song Xiangcun was startled and quickly stood up and said, "My grandson is here, and I will listen to the orders of the Grand Elder."

"In order to obtain treasure, you killed your own people. What crime should you be punished according to the clan rules?"

Song Xiangcun glanced at the distraught Song Wuji, gritted his teeth and said, "Reporting to the Supreme Elder, I should abolish my cultivation!"

"What crime should be committed when a person in a high position seeks personal gain by taking advantage of his position?"

"All current positions should be dismissed and the punishment should be determined according to the severity of the crime, ranging from exile to expulsion from the tribe."

"What crime should be imposed on those who intentionally cause serious injuries or deaths to multiple members of the tribe or ordinary members of the tribe, and cause serious consequences?"

"The mastermind must die to atone for his crime. Among the bloodline, the monks will be stripped of their cultivation and expelled from the clan, and all the ordinary clan members will be demoted to mine slaves. This will never change."

……

With every answer Song Xiangcun gave, Song Xiangjie's face turned paler. Any one of these answers would be enough to doom him.

"In summary, how should the multiple crimes be punished together?"

Song Xiangcun couldn't help but start looking at Song Wuji's location again. Song Xiangjie held real power and was an important pillar of their lineage. If he was really to be punished according to clan rules, the impact would be too great.

"Why don't you answer!" Song Tianyuan slapped the table in front of him like an angry lion. The solid table made of meteorite iron shattered into pieces in an instant, and the whole hall seemed to shake.

With no response, Song Xiangcun had to grit his teeth and answer: "The main offender should be dismissed from all positions, expelled from the clan, abolished from cultivation, his heart meridians cut, and his body thrown into the wild. The whole clan should be informed of his crime for seven days!
All the accomplices and descendants of the principal offenders will have their cultivation abolished and be exiled to the frontier mining areas as slaves. This will never be changed!"

When the verdict came out, everyone present couldn't help but gasp, and Song Xiangjie collapsed to the ground with a face as pale as paper.

Even the rebels are no more than this.

Song Tianyuan's eyes were cold, and he shouted coldly: "If that's the case, why don't you arrest Song Xiangjie and bring him to justice!"

"enough!"

A loud shout, like the sound of a huge bell, shook the hearts of everyone present.

A tall figure floated in from outside the hall. His appearance immediately gave Song Wuji's elders hope. They saluted and said, "We pay our respects to the Grand Elder!"

"Uncle, what do you mean by this?" Song Tianyuan looked unhappy.

"Tian Yuan, the clan should be governed strictly and the criminals should be punished cautiously. How can you easily accuse Xiang Jie of such a serious crime based on one-sided words from others?" Song Daoling said calmly.

"Uncle, do you mean that I wronged Song Xiangjie?"

Song Daoling ignored the dissatisfaction on Song Tianyuan's face and said calmly: "It can't be said that he was wronged. He is indeed guilty, but it is a bit too much to say that he is the main culprit. During that time, he was guarding the southern border and always performed his duties conscientiously and diligently. He would never be involved in these things."

His words were like a life-saving straw, which immediately gave Song Xiangjie hope of survival. He kowtowed like pounding garlic and said with tears in his voice, "Grand Elder, my grandson has also been deceived.

After the grave-worshipping ceremony that day, the grandson sent people to verify what they said, only to discover that the people under him had caused such a huge disaster.

The mastermind behind this incident was actually my disappointing grandson Qingxuan. He doted on his son Song Yuming too much. In order to obtain the [Yin Yang Purple Tree Heart] for him, he did something worse than an animal, which eventually led to disaster.

The grandson was unaware of the true situation and thought that Song Lu Ke had really died in an accident, so he manipulated the situation and gave the disposal rights of the [Yin-Yang Purple Tree Heart] to Qingxuan.

If I knew he was doing such a vicious thing, I would never dare to do it. I am guilty, please punish me, Grand Elder!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present had a new understanding of Song Xiangjie's shamelessness. Song Qingxuan had died on the battlefield in the East China Sea ten years ago, but he put all the main responsibilities on a dead man, who was his grandson.

“There really is something behind this.

Xiangcun, according to the clan rules, how should this be handled?" Song Daoling said slowly.

The old man personally came to the scene, and Song Xiangcun also found the backbone, and hurriedly said: "In response to the words of the Supreme Elder, my brother should be punished for abusing his power and forming a clique for personal gain. He should be removed from his position and sent to the frontier states to guard for a hundred years.

Although Song Qingxuan was the mastermind, he has already died, and he died for his family. When his merits and demerits offset each other, his descendants will move to the border.

Song Yuming is a vested interest and should be sentenced to death to serve as a warning to others.

In addition, the other members of the tribe who participated in the siege of Song Lu Ke should also be sentenced to death, expelled from the tribe, and all their descendants should be expelled from the tribe. " In just a few words, Song Xiangjie was picked out, and all the blame fell on a dead man and a few small shrimps.

Song Tianyuan was almost amused by the two people's singing in unison, but he knew very well in his heart that with Song Daoling around, he could not touch Song Xiangjie.

"Let's do it this way. We can't let any criminal go, but we can't wrongly accuse any good person either." Song Daoling said in a high-sounding manner.

Seeing the situation that was originally favorable to him collapse in an instant, Song Jiyuan also felt a little uneasy. He knew that the person standing behind Song Wuji was Song Daoling, so he had not acted rashly.

But he didn't expect that Song Daoling would actually confront Song Tianyuan head-on for Song Wuji. This was beyond his expectations.

The worst thing is that Song Daoling is superior to Song Tianyuan in both seniority and cultivation, so it is basically impossible to achieve his goal this time.

"It seems that we need to take a long-term view." Song Jiyuan thought secretly in his heart.

"Is Tianyuan satisfied with this result?"

"Everything will be based on what my uncle said." Song Tianyuan finally decided to swallow his anger for the time being. The Song family's current situation was not good. If he and Song Daoling started fighting again at this time, the family would never have peace.

Song Daoling was very satisfied with his concession and said loudly: "In this case, it's time to talk about the affairs of the Da Qi branch."

Everyone's expressions suddenly became serious when they heard this, realizing that the decisive moment was about to come. Everything that had happened before was just a small episode caused by this incident.

“The Da Qi branch was originally the descendant of a family criminal. The family let bygones be bygones, accepted their children, provided them with resources, and entrusted them with important tasks. However, they harbored a family rebel and even came to provoke trouble, attempting to challenge the family’s majesty. This is a crime of insubordination and is unforgivable.

If the family does not respond to this matter, how can it convince the public in the future and how can it gain a foothold in the Daqian cultivation world?
The clan leader should be ordered to hand over the traitors he is hiding, and he should personally escort the traitors and Song Qingxing to the clan to kneel down and plead guilty. Only in this way can the dignity of the clan be maintained. What do you think?" Song Daoling's voice was cold and direct.

Song Tianyuan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Since the cause of Song Lu Ke's death has been confirmed, it is not difficult to know that Song Yulong and others left their master out of necessity, just to protect themselves, not to betray the clan, so how can they be said to be harboring traitors?
Instead, it is the family that should feel ashamed of this. A good person was forced to this point.

What the family should do now is to make up for the mistakes made in the past as much as possible, rather than continue to make mistakes!
Song Qingxing's coming to pay a visit to the mountain was an upright act, but it was the behavior of the elders that brought shame to the family.

It is not terrible to be inferior to others in skills, but it is terrible to fail to recognize your own mistakes. "

"Traitors are traitors, there is no excuse for it. If this precedent is set, future traitors will have their own excuses.

Even if they had their own reasons, isn't it a crime for the Da Qi branch to conceal the truth before?" Song Daoling said excitedly.

Song Tianyuan could no longer bear the anger in his heart and shouted angrily, "Song Changsheng is only over a hundred years old and he is already a Jindan cultivator. He is extremely talented. Is your uncle going to push this top genius to the opposite side of the family?"

"No matter how talented you are, what good is it if you can't use your talents for the family? Those two brats are clearly here to call for punishment, don't hold on to your luck!"

Song Tianyuan knew that Song Daoling was telling the truth, and said in a deep voice: "The premise of asking for punishment is guilt. If the family acts justly, how could such a thing happen?
It is normal for Song Changsheng to have resentment in his heart, but it is not impossible to resolve. They may just be waiting for the family's attitude. As long as we handle this matter properly, they may change their minds. "

Song Daoling laughed, and his laugh was extremely ironic: "Tianyuan, ah Tianyuan, you have indeed become more tactful over the years, but you are still so naive. The two characters 'Song' written with one stroke cannot possibly coexist.

If Daqian and Daqi were not so far apart, I would have dispatched my best soldiers to investigate the crime."

"It seems that my uncle has made great contributions to the family's present state." Song Tianyuan suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a little strange. In the past, Song Daoling was well-known in the family for his toughness, loyalty, and hatred of evil. How could he become like this in hundreds of years?
For a moment, he lost interest in arguing any further.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Song Daoling thought he had completely mastered the initiative, and said lightly: "The family still has to go to Song Changsheng's Golden Elixir Ceremony, send someone to bring them my words intact.

If you don't obey, the family's heavenly soldiers will arrive in an instant!"

As soon as the words fell, the morale of the cultivators of Song Wuji's faction was immediately boosted. This was the result they wanted!
The hearts of the elders of the branch, led by Song Zhexuan, gradually sank to the bottom...

Song Changsheng knew nothing about what happened to the Song family of Daqian. At this moment, he was looking at the [Soul Incarnation] in front of him with curiosity.

Standing in front of him was a translucent golden soul body, which was exactly the same as him in appearance and height, as if he was looking in a mirror.

"His cultivation level is actually between the Great Perfection of Purple Mansion and the early stage of Golden Elixir?" Song Changsheng stroked his chin lightly, feeling very surprised.

According to his understanding of this kind of practice, it would be good if his incarnation could finally reach the middle or late stage of Purple Mansion, and it would be a pleasant surprise if he could reach the great perfection of Purple Mansion. However, after actual testing, he was actually a little stronger.

"Is this an incarnation or a soul?" Song Changsheng looked at the thing in front of him and the more he looked at it, the more it looked like the legendary soul.

"It seems that I have to find time to refine a body for him. His strength will surely be able to be further improved. When I need to leave the family for some reason in the future, I will feel more at ease knowing that he will temporarily guard the family for me."

“Perhaps you can give me a name, so it will be easier to call me.” The incarnation said with a smile.

Song Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "Then you can be called Song Changshou. I will refine a puppet for you as your body later. Your spiritual power is strong, so you don't need to show up at ordinary times. You can practice in Ruyun Palace with peace of mind.

Do you have any requirements for practicing the exercises?"

Song Changshou tapped his forehead and said, "You forgot that we are one. I know everything you know, just like a rubbing of it."

"I have overlooked this point. So, you have also inherited the formation and weapon refining skills?" A bold idea suddenly flashed through Song Changsheng's mind.

"That's right, but my body doesn't allow me to perform these delicate movements now. I need a real body." Song Changshou said as he looked down at his slightly illusory hands.

"I understand. I will pay attention to the method of [External Incarnation] in the future and try to create a body for you as soon as possible."

In fact, there is a faster way, which is to directly find a suitable body to take over, but both of them tacitly did not mention it.

Although it seems a bit pedantic, this is their common insistence...
