Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

On Soul Lamp Square, everyone's eyes were focused on the cross erected in the center of the square.

An old figure with gray hair was nailed to the cross.

Song Xiangjie, who used to be ranked among the top five in the Elder Council of Jinxiu Banner, is now like an ordinary old man who is about to die, waiting for his own judgment with a dead heart.

Song Changxue's cold voice rang out from above the square: "Song Xiangjie, who holds a high position, does not seek rewards, but instead uses his power to seek benefits, allowing his descendants to harm their own people. In order to cover up the truth, he even spared no ordinary people, causing thousands of people to die or become disabled.

The blood on my hands is too numerous to mention.

The evidence for the above is solid.

This elder, in accordance with clan rules, sentenced Song Xiangjie to death by slicing in front of all the ancestors in the clan temple, exterminated his spirit and soul, and sent his head to all directions to comfort the souls of thousands of clan members in heaven.

I hope you will take this as a warning and not get involved in the law, otherwise this will be the outcome! "

Song Changxue's eyes were sharp and his tone was full of warning.

Everyone present was in awe.

When the Law Enforcement Hall makes a judgment, they often take into account the old ties between the clan members and stop at the appropriate point. Destruction of both body and soul is already the maximum punishment and it will not be an excessive humiliation.

Song Xiangjie's verdict broke the long-standing tacit understanding and rules. Not only was he sentenced to death by slicing, which was unprecedented, he was also tormented to death.

He was not even given the chance to reincarnate, and his head was beheaded after his death, which was extremely humiliating.

Moreover, the execution was carried out in front of all the ancestral tablets, which shows how resolute the attitude of the Law Enforcement Hall is towards this matter. It is also a warning to them.

In short, harming one's own people is absolutely not allowed.

"The executioner is Zhangye County's garrison elder Song Yulong!"

Song Changxue's last words were even more deafening. She chose the person who hated Song Xiangjie the most to execute him.

Song Yulong's eyes were red, and he strode to the center with a knife in hand, bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for the family's generous gift. Yulong will obey your order!"

After saying this, under the gaze and encouragement of Song Changsheng and others, he walked up to Song Xiangjie holding the boning knife that Song Changsheng had specially made for him.

"Old dog, you have come to this day, do you still recognize me?" Song Yulong's eyes were wide open, and all his past experiences appeared in front of him, and his anger was about to burst out.

Song Xiangjie looked at Song Yulong with tears in his eyes. There was not a trace of regret in his heart, only fear of death.

"Father, great uncle, great uncle... Yulong will avenge you now. Please watch carefully in heaven!" Song Yulong raised the bone-cutting knife in his hand, which was shining with cold light, and chopped directly at Song Xiangjie's calf...

The punishment of lingchi involves peeling skin and cutting flesh, and at least three thousand cuts are required to ensure that only a skeleton is left. The person being executed must not only be alive, but also remain conscious.

However, this is the standard in the mortal world. In the world of cultivation, one more requirement is added, which is to ignite the soul of the person being executed with a special soul fire, burning his soul bit by bit while he is being tortured. Such pain is difficult to endure even for a Jindan Zhenren.

When the last knife fell, the flesh and blood were gone, and the soul was burned to ashes, and the punishment was considered a success.

Song Yulong had rehearsed this process countless times in his mind.

No one could imagine the torment he had endured over the years.

Countless relatives and clansmen died in front of him, but his enemies were still at large. When he woke up in the middle of the night, his clothes were wet with tears more than once.

The torment and pain involved are hard to describe, and no one can truly empathize with it.

This painful experience took deep root in his heart, and revenge has transformed from an obsession into a demon in his heart.

Because of this, it was completely understandable that his first breakthrough failed.

There are countless difficulties and obstacles in the world, but the most difficult one is the one within yourself.

Every blow that was slashed at Song Xiangjie was invisibly dissolving the resentment and obsession in his heart.

This horrific punishment lasted for a whole day and night. After four thousand and one cuts, Song Xiangjie finally died.

After his death, Song Changsheng took action personally and annihilated his true spirit, thus ending his life. His soul was scattered and he would never be reborn.

All the Song clan members who were watching the scene were shocked and moved.

Afterwards, Song Yulong swung his sword and cut off Song Xiangjie's head, and held it high for public display.

Finally, he knelt down in the blood, wailing loudly, tears streaming down his face. At this moment, he was no longer the guardian elder of the family, but a son who had avenged his great hatred.

Along with him, all the Song clan members who had fled back from the Jinxiu Banner cried bitterly. Their cries were suppressed, yet inexplicably sad.

Song Changsheng walked forward, stretched out his hand and personally helped Song Yulong up, and said softly: "Everything is over, and my brother can be free now."

"We will never forget the kindness of our clan leader."

"We are a family, so why should we have different opinions? Pack up and go back to seclusion." Song Changsheng patted Song Yulong on the shoulder, his tone full of encouragement.

After this incident, Song Yulong got his revenge and eliminated his long-standing inner demon. This was a great opportunity. If he could grasp it well, he might have a chance to break through the current bottleneck and enter the Purple Mansion realm.

Such a good opportunity must not be delayed.

"Yulong obeys your command." Song Yulong reached out to wipe away the tears on his face and said solemnly...

After the sacrificial ceremony, Song Changsheng also took the [Miaohua Golden Pill] and began to retreat.

To be honest, it would be a waste to use this precious pill now. Song Changsheng's injuries can be healed in three to five years if he recuperates in seclusion.

But now is different, he needs to prepare for the college elimination tournament fourteen years later.

If he doesn't want to go, then he won't go. But since he has agreed to go, he must try his best to do his best.

It just so happened that he hadn't fought with monks of the same age for a long time. This time, there were many strong people in the academy elimination round, and he thought that he would not be disappointed.

During the period when Song Changsheng was in seclusion, the [Star Fruit Tree] that he planted personally in the Wutong Small World also matured after absorbing a large amount of the power of the law. Nine of the spiritual fruits had already fallen off in advance, and all the nutrients were supplied to the last fruit.

It took three months to finally mature.

Following Song Changsheng's prior instructions, Song Qingxi picked it from the branch and immediately sent someone to send it to the East China Sea cultivation world to assist Song Qingxing.

However, Song Qingxing returned it intact, saying that it was ineffective for him.

It turned out that Song Qingxing had already reached the pinnacle of the Purple Mansion Stage in his comprehension of the laws of swordsmanship, and the [Star Fruit] could not bring him much improvement at all. The reason why he had not been in seclusion was that he was seeking an opportunity to completely transform his sword embryo.

Such opportunities are hard to find, and it is difficult to rely on external assistance.

Song Qingxing's understanding is very simple, and his approach is also very simple and crude.

Since he couldn't get this opportunity through seclusion, he would gain enlightenment and sublimate through killing!
There was nothing wrong with the method, but the sirens around the Gemini Islands suffered. They were swept away by Song Qingxing from time to time, and each time they were killed, a river of blood flowed.

But the effect was very limited, because he had almost reached the pinnacle of the Purple Mansion Stage, and there were very few sirens at the same level who could even put pressure on him, let alone pose a threat to him.

Under such circumstances, it really became a one-sided massacre, which could not achieve the effect Song Qingxing wanted. He was confused about this matter recently. While returning the [Star Fruit], he also told the messenger to bring back a word, hoping that Song Changsheng would think of a countermeasure for him.

Song Changsheng sighed upon hearing this: "This is the pursuit of perfection. It seems to be God's will."

"Uncle, have you thought of a solution?" Song Qingxi's eyes suddenly lit up.

“If you want to pursue the ultimate transcendence and sublimation, there is only one way to go, and that is the trial path of the Infinite Sword Sect.

There are a lot of sword geniuses who want to seek transcendence just like him. If he can stand out from these people, he can complete the real transformation. "Song Changsheng said solemnly.

"The road of trials? Very dangerous?" Song Qingxi frowned. It didn't sound like a good place.

"It's no exaggeration to say that it's a life-and-death struggle. If you want to transcend, you will naturally have to pay a price that ordinary people can hardly imagine." Song Changsheng said in a deep voice.

"This..." Song Qingxi hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Song Changsheng said leisurely: "No one can make decisions for Qing Xing, not you or me, the choice is ultimately in his hands.

Just reply to him like this, there are still several decades before the next trial begins, he has plenty of time to think and prepare. "

Song Qingxi nodded silently. In fact, they all knew what answer Song Qingxing would give. They were the two people in the world who knew Song Qingxing best.

No matter how dangerous the situation is, Song Qingxing will never retreat. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will risk his life to fight for it.

The final result was as they expected. Song Qingxing's reply was just one word: "Go."

Song Qingxi felt a little uneasy after receiving this reply.

Song Changsheng was just about to say something to comfort her when his heart suddenly moved.

I closed my eyes and began to feel something carefully.

He clearly felt that a vast force was gathering in the south, and what he perceived was only the aura emanating from this force.

"Not good." His face darkened, and the yin and yang energies flowed under his feet, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When he appeared again, he was already on the bank of a turbulent river.

This place is none other than the Canglan River.

I saw that the surging river was several times more turbulent than usual, with huge waves one after another. Thick dark clouds were rolling in from all directions in the sky, and the whole world became unusually dark.

The breath of heaven was brewing in the dark clouds, and muffled thunder could be heard from time to time.

The hideous red lightning was crisscrossing in it, and the blood light was shining in all directions, which was a bit creepy.

"Woooooo~~"

Amid the raging waves, there were faint roars coming out, vicissitudes and desolate, as if someone was shouting unwillingly, or like a giant beast was roaring to the sky.

Looking up at the dark clouds that completely blocked out the sunlight, Song Changsheng's face was solemn.

"Swish"

With a flash of inspiration, Mu Guibai's figure appeared not far away.

Song Changsheng hurried over to greet him: "Master."

"You are here too, have you found anything?" Mu Guibai nodded slightly, his face also showing a solemn expression.

"I'm afraid there is a strong man who is going to survive here." Song Changsheng said in a deep voice.

As a professional in overcoming tribulations, he is extremely familiar with the aura of Heavenly Dao and will definitely not make any misjudgment.

Mu Guibai remained silent after hearing this, and this was also the answer he came up with.

This gives rise to several new questions: Who is going through this calamity, and what kind of calamity is it?

Both of them were Jindan Zhenren and had experienced Jindan thunder tribulation. Although the aura of the heavenly tribulation was equally vast, even Song Changsheng's ten heavenly thunder tribulations were much less powerful than the one before them.

So this is definitely not the Jindan thunder tribulation, but going further up, to break through the Yuanying stage, one has to go through the great heart demon tribulation, and there is no need to go through the thunder tribulation at all.

As for the great heavenly thunder tribulation of the Spirit Transformation Stage, it is even more impossible. If that were the case, they would not even have the chance to stand here.

Just as the two were deep in thought, another figure came across the space. His white clothes were whiter than snow, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright, and he held a sword in his arms. It was Bai Zimo from the Jinwu Sect.

Immediately afterwards, another powerful figure descended from the sky. It was Shi Potian, the True Man Wutan who had already broken through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, who came in person.

In a short period of time, this thunder tribulation attracted four Jindan Zhenren from the Da Qi cultivation world to come in person.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, Fellow Daoist Shi."

The master and the disciple stepped forward to greet each other.

"Friend Mu, Friend Song, you arrived here first. Have you discovered anything?" Shi Potian asked in a deep voice.

Mu Guibai shook his head and said, "Someone is going to undergo a tribulation, but it is still unknown who that person is, and there has been no discovery."

"In this Canglan River, apart from the water tribe, there are also the demon tribe. I just don't know why it would trigger the heavenly punishment." Bai Zimo said with a serious look in his eyes.

"My fellow Taoists, please look." Shi Potian suddenly looked towards the other side of the river.

In fact, he couldn't help but say that Song Changsheng and others had already noticed that several powerful figures from the demon realm on the other side were flying in the air. Although they were human, each of them exuded a monstrous demonic aura.

Obviously, those coming from the other side were genuine demon kings, and some of them had even fought with Mu Guibai and others before.

The other side sent out seven demon kings at once, completely crushing the Da Qi cultivation world in terms of numbers.

However, the hundred-year agreement has not yet expired, so Song Changsheng and others are not afraid that the other party will suddenly attack.

Shi Potian looked at the red-haired man in the center and said in a deep voice, "Red Flame Demon King, is the one who is undergoing the tribulation from your Demon Realm?"

Hearing this, a charming woman beside the Scarlet Flame Demon King said sinisterly, "I thought it was one of you who was so blind as to disturb the heavenly tribulation, but I didn't expect it to be the other one."

"So it seems that he is a member of the water tribe."

After these words were spoken, the demon kings did not have any special reaction, but Mu Guibai and others felt depressed.

If a powerful demon clan member were to undergo a tribulation, the ancient covenant between the two clans would serve as a constraint and would not affect Da Qi at all.

If it was a water creature, it would be troublesome. Not only is it unrestrained, but it has also been very unpleasant recently...
