Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"It seems that the information we found out back then was correct. The Song family and the Jinxiu Banner Song family are indeed one family. Looking at the life the Song family led in the past, it is normal for the two to have come to this point today." Bai Yan took a sip of the spirit wine and said lightly.

"They missed a real dragon." Bai Zimo also gave Song Changsheng a very high evaluation.

"Now the [Song Clan of Jinxiu Banner] is like a towering tree. It looks lush and flourishing, but the roots buried deep underground have long been rotten and festering, and even the thick branches have been hollowed out.

Perhaps it will collapse with a loud bang if someone just reaches out and pushes it gently.

On the other hand, the Wangyue Song Clan has sparse branches and leaves and a shallow root system, but it is full of vigor and vitality. It is only a matter of time before it catches up."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zimo did not respond, which was considered as his agreement with Bai Yan's statement.

The speed of Song's development in recent years has been witnessed by everyone. It can only be described as "abnormal". They have achieved in just one hundred years what other forces would have achieved in a thousand years.

Sometimes they couldn't help but wonder whether the Song family was blessed by God.

"I'm just curious now, facing Fellow Daoist Zixu's declaration of war, how will the [Song Clan of Jinxiu Banner] respond? Will they swallow this loss in silence, or launch a large-scale attack?" Bai Yan gently turned the wine cup in his hand with a hint of anticipation on his face.

"No matter what they choose, as long as it doesn't affect our clan." Bai Zimo drank the wine in the glass. He was not interested in the grievances between the two Song dynasties.

"Whether we remain neutral or not doesn't really matter. With Fellow Daoist Mingxia here, unless the ancestor of the Jinxiu Banner Song Family comes in person, there will be no chance of 'avenge'." Bai Yan shook his head slightly, not optimistic about the Jinxiu Banner Song Family.

Without overwhelming strength, it is very difficult to wage a war of annihilation at the level of Jindan cultivators.

The territory of the human race is very vast, with five major continents: east, west, south, north and center, and 366 cultivation worlds of various sizes. The demise of the lower-level forces has never stopped and is happening every day.

However, it is rare for Jindan-level forces to be destroyed. Most of the demise of Jindan forces is caused by the death of Jindan cultivators or unexpected events.

[Jinxiu Banner] is indeed much stronger than the Song family, but it cannot be said that they are completely crushed. Not to mention the Song family's mountain protection formation that has been upgraded to "abnormal" by Song Changsheng, they also have Luoxia City as external aid. Even in a head-on confrontation, they will not be inferior in top-level combat power.

Unless the [Jinxiu Banner] can put aside everything and attack with the strength of the entire clan.

But this is simply unrealistic. Not to mention whether they can do it or not, it is impossible for the cultivation circles along the way to allow such a huge force to parade around in their territory. They are not the Wanxiang Palace and do not have that much face.

Song Changsheng restrained his aura, slowly descended from the air, and apologized to all the guests present again: "It's just some trivial matters, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

"Fellow Daoist Zixu is very courageous. I have also heard about the things between your two clans. Killing one's own clan is worse than that of beasts and is despised by all human beings.

"We will not stop fighting until the blood dries up." Your declaration is really refreshing, and it is worth it that I specially selected a [Iron Blood Army Flag] as a gift. "The Mighty Marquis Xuanming from the Great Xiao Dynasty raised his glass and said without hesitation, leaving no face for the [Jinxiu Flag] Song family.

The Da Xiaoxian Dynasty was extremely stingy in bestowing titles. There were three classes of titles: "Duke", "Marquis" and "Earl". The title of Duke was conferred on only a handful of people except for members of the royal family.

There are not many people who hold the title of "Marquis", and Master Xuanming is one of the best among them. He was born in a branch of the royal family and relied on his own strength and military exploits to become a marquis.

He is a strong contender for the next King Xiao.

Although the current Da Xiao Immortal Dynasty can no longer control the entire Da Xiao cultivation world, it is still a powerful force under the Wanxiang Palace with comprehensive strength that is enough to rank among the top five.

A legion of cultivators with a total number of over 100,000 people is enough to crush everything.

Xuan Ming has every right and confidence to not take the Song family of Jinxiu Banner seriously.

The decline of the Great Xiao Dynasty was closely related to the internal strife among the royal family, so he hated this aspect very much.

If Song Changsheng hadn't solved the problem so efficiently, he would have been unable to sit still.

His words resonated with many monks present.

Taking history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs.

Throughout the long history of the human cultivation world, there have been too many brilliant "civilizations" and powerful forces that have declined or even been destroyed because of infighting.

Therefore, fratricide among the same clan or brothers has always been a taboo for all major forces, and in some cases it is even more serious than the impact caused by rebellion.

[Jinxiu Banner] The Song family has now become completely famous.

"Thank you, Marquis Weiwu, for your righteous words." Song Changsheng also raised his glass to gesture, then drank it all in one gulp.

"I am not talented, but I have some personal views on the way of laws. It is rare to have so many fellow Taoists come to support me. I will now talk about my personal understanding of the laws of the great Dao. I hope that fellow Taoists will not hesitate to give me some advice."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the monks participating in the Golden Elixir Ceremony on the mountain and below stopped their actions at the same time, even Jian Xin became serious.

Preaching and discussing the doctrine is an important part of the ceremony and is also what the participating monks look forward to the most.

It is common to encounter bottlenecks during cultivation. If you listen more to the teachings of senior masters, you may be able to break through them.

Even if they are cultivators at the same level, because everyone has different strengths and different angles of understanding, they can often achieve the effect of learning by analogy.

Moreover, this is an excellent way to judge a person's true level. Many talented monks became famous through preaching and discussing the Tao.

For example, when Mu Guibai had not yet broken through to the Jindan stage, he had won the respect of all the Jindan masters in Da Qi and were regarded as fellow Taoists by virtue of his superb understanding of the "Way of Music".

Song Changsheng's fame has now far surpassed Mu Guibai. Whether it can be further consolidated and expanded depends on this sermon.

As a versatile person, with the blessing of Feng Changqing's understanding of the laws of the Tao, Song Changsheng has many directions to choose from, whether it is the [Way of Space], [Way of Sword] or [Way of Five Elements], any one of them is enough to meet the needs of preaching.

"What I am going to explain next is the [Theory of Yin and Yang]."

Song Changsheng sat down cross-legged, pinching the Ziwu Jue with his hands. A stream of clear energy gathered under his body, lifting him up steadily so that everyone could see him.

The black and white energies appeared alternately and condensed into a huge Tai Chi diagram covering an area of ​​​​one hundred feet above his head. The rotation of black and white showed the mystery of the laws.

"The rising of the sun and the setting of the moon, the universe, all living things, and even the love between men and women, all contain laws and principles.

As the saying goes, solitary yin cannot grow, solitary yang cannot produce, heaven and earth…” Song Changsheng’s voice shook the jade chimes, his words were neither fast nor slow, but they sounded like thunder in the plain, deafening, and the guests present were soon immersed in it.

He used the magical power contained in the Buddhist scripture that Su Ding gave him, which could force people to concentrate and temporarily improve their understanding.

This time, he really spoke without reservation and showed his sincerity. The world seemed to be completely quiet for a moment, even the wind stopped running, and only Song Changsheng's clear voice echoed between heaven and earth.

Even the birds in the sky and the animals in the forest couldn't help but stop and listen.

The setting sun sets in the west, the bright moon rises in the east, and the stars flow.

From day to night, from night to day, day and night rotate, yin and yang alternate, the slowly rotating Tai Chi diagram in the air appears even more mysterious at this moment.

Song Changsheng was so excited that he didn't stick to the [Theory of Yin and Yang] anymore. He talked about [The Way of Sword], [The Way of Space], [The Way of Five Elements], [The Way of Life]...

The sermon, which was originally scheduled to last twelve hours, actually lasted nearly forty hours in the end. At the beginning, most people could still listen to it, but as the content of Song Changsheng's narration became more and more profound, most people gradually found it difficult to keep up.

Their comprehension ability is limited, and they are unable to grasp the opportunity even if it is placed in front of them. It is a pity. They can only choose to use phonograph instruments or image stones to record as much as possible of what Song Changsheng said.

The recording effect is very poor, but there is nothing we can do about it.

After eliminating those monks with less comprehension, what remains after the great waves is the real gold.

Many cultivators entered a state of "sudden enlightenment" on the spot, and some even broke through the bottleneck on the spot. Among them was a Purple Mansion stage cultivator who came here because of his reputation. After being stuck for decades, he suddenly had an enlightenment and made others envious.

It’s a pity that such an opportunity is hard to come by, and they can only envy it.

As Song Changsheng's last move fell, the world seemed to suddenly become noisy again.

"clap clap"

A round of crisp applause rang out, and Master Xuanming stood up and said with admiration: "Daoyou Zixu's achievements in the laws are truly amazing. Even the great master of our dynasty is only proficient in three laws, which is not as good as you.

No wonder you can achieve such brilliant results at such a young age."

"You are overpraising Marquis Weiwu. I am not good at anything, so how can I be compared with the great master?"

"Patriarch Song, don't be too modest. You are still young and have plenty of time to catch up. We old guys will sooner or later be beaten to death on the beach by you young ones." Peng Zhengxiong said self-deprecatingly.

"I never thought that Fellow Daoist Zixu is also proficient in swordsmanship." Jianxin stood up and looked at Song Changsheng with a hint of surprise. She really felt that this trip was worthwhile. This young man brought her too many surprises.

"I heard from Senior Peng that Elder Jianxin is a master of swordsmanship. I wonder if he could give me some pointers on this good opportunity?" It was a rare opportunity to meet an elder from Wanxiang Palace, so Song Changsheng really wanted to communicate with him.

What's more, this person's swordsmanship was very special, very different from all the swordsmen he had seen, and he wanted to learn from him.

Preaching and discussing the truth are inherently connected. He has spoken out so much valuable information, it is time for others to speak out some as well.

Jian Xin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

She sat cross-legged at the table and said calmly, "My path is called 'Heart Sword'.

There is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart. The sword in the heart is stronger than the sword in the hand.

The sword comes from the gods and is inspired by the heart..."

Jianxin was as frank as Song Changsheng, but from a theoretical point of view, his ideas were more profound than Song Changsheng's. There were tens of thousands of guests on Cangmang Peak, but only a few could understand him.

But as long as you can comprehend part of it, there will definitely be a qualitative improvement in your swordsmanship.

Because Jianxin's [Way of the Heart Sword] is very special, when cultivated to the perfect level, it can directly cut through the Dao heart of a cultivator, and it is a fast sword that kills people without shedding blood.

This was also the source of the special sword intent that Song Changsheng had felt earlier.

Among the guests present and the Song family members, there were no more than a handful who could fully comprehend it. Apart from Song Changsheng, there were only Bai Zimo, Song Qingxing and two other Jindan Zhenren in the cultivation world.

Among the Purple Mansion cultivators, there is only Song Qingxing.

With Jian Xin taking the lead, the other Jindan cultivators no longer concealed their abilities and came forward to explain their own ways.

For a time, the Jindan Ceremony turned directly into a discussion meeting for a group of Jindan masters. The Jindan ceremony, which was originally scheduled for ten days, was finally extended to two months.

Not only did the number of guests participating in the ceremony not decrease, but more and more gathered under the call of friends and relatives. They all came to discuss Taoism with Jindan Zhenren, and there was a crowd of people sitting at the foot of Cangmang Peak.

This was also due to the open-minded attitude of the Song family. No matter who you are or where you come from, you can come to Lingzhou to participate in the ceremony. Although the banquet has ended, it is difficult to buy an opportunity to hear a Jindan Zhenren discuss Taoism even with money.

All the monks who participated in the ceremony were grateful for the Song family's kindness. Some monks even considered themselves Song Changsheng's disciples and clamored to stay and serve.

The Song family naturally rejected this directly, but they gained a lot of goodwill through this incident.

It was not until the finale of Peng Zhengxiong's sermon that this special Golden Elixir Ceremony, which was worthy of being recorded in the history of the Da Qi cultivation world, finally came to an end.

The guests gradually dispersed, but Bai Zimo, Bai Yan, Peng Zhengxiong and others stayed tacitly because they had very important things to discuss.

Before leaving, Jianxin specifically reminded him to pay attention to the time. Song Changsheng was confused and wanted to ask more questions, but was stopped by Peng Zhengxiong.

"Senior Peng, what time did Daoist Fellow Jianxin refer to?"

Peng Zhengxiong smiled faintly and said, "There are two gifts presented to Daoist Fellow Jianxin. The tea leaves of the [Enlightenment Tea Tree] can help cultivators improve their state of mind. Although it is very valuable, it is only a sub-tree separated from the mother tree.

It is of little use to Jindan cultivators like you and me. It is just a regular gift. Wanxiang Palace has given out quite a few of them over the years.

The key point is that piece of [Wanxiang Order], its value is far more than [Wu Xin Tea Tree], Daoist Jianxin came here mainly to deliver this item to you. "
