Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"Speaking of your younger relatives, they did something quite big behind your back. Several months ago, a victim came to our door."

As Yi Tianzheng said this, there was no hint of blame in his tone; rather, he seemed somewhat helpless. Similar things happened more or less at every exchange meeting.

As the saying goes, swords have no eyes on the arena, and death and injury are inevitable. Since you have chosen to step onto the stage, you must be prepared to face all the consequences. If there is any violation of the rules, the Enforcement Hall of Wanxiang Palace will naturally handle it impartially.

No matter how fairly you handle things, there will always be people who come to complain, which is extremely annoying. If it weren't for Song Changsheng involved, he wouldn't bother with these people.

Seeing that Yi Tianzheng did not show any dissatisfaction, Song Changsheng immediately understood that it was not a big deal. However, he still had to show the proper attitude and said apologetically, "The juniors in the clan are ignorant and have troubled you, True Lord. I wonder what outrageous things they have done this time?"

"It's related to the [Brocade Banner]. You'll know the details when you meet them."

It's really nothing. Your clan's younger members are all following the rules. But an exchange meeting is just an exchange meeting. It's best not to involve private grudges. The main party at fault in this matter is the [Jinxiu Banner]. The palace has already given them a stern warning.

"But you should also pay attention to this issue in the future." Yi Tianzheng's tone was somewhat serious.

Upon hearing the mention of the "Embroidered Banner," Song Changsheng already roughly understood what it meant.

Yi Tianzheng's attitude is very clear: the original intention of holding the exchange meeting was to exchange and learn from each other, not to use it as a place to resolve grievances. This is destroying the good atmosphere that has been built up over the years.

The idea of ​​a death match was unprecedented at the exchange meeting. If it weren't for the need to consider Song Changsheng's feelings, this precedent would never have been set, as doing so would only escalate the conflict and cause a lot of trouble later.

If everyone follows suit, this exchange meeting can be renamed.

"This junior understands, and there will absolutely be no next time." Song Changsheng naturally cooperated obediently.

Overall, the Song family benefited greatly from this incident, and Yi Tianzheng's verbal reprimand was merely an explanation to the others.

"Yes, I have already ordered people to prepare guest rooms for you. Please rest for a while, and we will set off in three days."

"I'll obey!"

After leaving the main hall, Song Changsheng found Song Youlin and learned about the whole incident. He was relieved to hear that they had not suffered any losses.

At the same time, he was somewhat surprised by Xu Miaoyin's performance.

This usually clever and mischievous girl is surprisingly cunning when dealing with enemies, unlike her father or mother. I really don't know where she learned it from.

But this is clearly a good thing; only people like this can survive in this cruel world.

"To propose a fight to the death without knowing the other party's background is somewhat reckless. This is a one-time exception, and it will not be repeated."

Of course, merit should be rewarded. You are responsible for compiling a list of everyone's achievements and reporting it to the clan elders' council first. Rewards will be distributed upon returning to the clan.

Song Changsheng had high expectations for Song Youlin. He couldn't possibly serve as the clan leader for life. Neither Song Qingxing nor Song Qingxi had this intention. Among the younger generation of cultivators, Song Youlin and Song Youfu were the most suitable successors at present.

He is currently more inclined to side with Song Youlin.

Although we thwarted the "Brocade Banner" this time, we acted somewhat impulsively. If we want to become the leader of the family, we must be extremely careful with every decision.

"Your grandson obeys." Song Youlin solemnly accepted the order.

"Yes, we will depart for the Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty in three days. You should also prepare accordingly."

At this moment, Song Youlin took out a jade slip from his pocket and handed it to Song Changsheng, saying, "Some time ago, news came from the Twin Islands that Youfu and his men discovered a large number of sea monsters gathering in the waters belonging to Ghost King Valley, which seemed to be a sign of a full-scale counterattack."

I have already informed Master Jianxin of this matter, but I don't know what the Myriad Manifestations Palace plans to do. Is there anything you need to tell me?

Song Changsheng frowned as he finished reading the contents of the jade slip. He had to admit that Song Youfu's luck was still on point. He never expected to encounter such a thing on his first time going to trade on behalf of Song Youlin.

It has been confirmed that a True Lord will accompany the Five Academies Assembly, which is indeed a rare opportunity.

However, even many Golden Core cultivators within the Myriad Manifestations Palace did not know the exact time of the Five Academies Assembly. How could these sea monsters have such a precise grasp of it?

"Now that Master Jianxin knows, they will naturally handle it, so there's no need to worry too much."

The Twin Islands are located in a remote area, so even if they do launch a counterattack, the Rainbow Clan has already moved away, so the impact on us will not be significant.

The only groups we need to be wary of are still the Sea Yaksha clan and the [Brocade Banner].

"I'm representing Vientiane Palace this time, so they'll definitely take care of me. I can just prepare normally."

"obey"

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time to set off.

The group was quite large, numbering over a hundred, mostly relatives or disciples of the contestants.

Because of the barrier of the Tianshan Mountains, it is not easy for even the elders of the Wanxiang Palace to make a trip to the Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty. Naturally, they cannot miss such a good opportunity to broaden their horizons.

However, before heading to the Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty, they need to take a space teleportation array to the Myriad Phenomena Academy to meet up with the others.

"Fellow Daoist Zixu, it's been many years since we last met. Your cultivation has progressed remarkably quickly. I heard you passed the test of the Mirror Space?" Ji Shinian appeared out of nowhere and cupped his hands towards Song Changsheng.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, are you also coming this time?" Song Changsheng instantly understood his intention.

"When we parted, I said that we would meet again soon, and I have come to keep that promise."

Song Changsheng chuckled and shook his head, saying, "I think you're more worried about your junior brother and disciple. However, with Fellow Daoist Ji traveling with you, you won't be lonely on the journey."

Ji Shinian laughed and beckoned Jun Tianli over, saying, "This is the Master Zixu I mentioned to you before. We are of the same generation, so you should call him 'Uncle-Master'."

"Junior pays respects to Martial Uncle Zixu." Jun Tianli bowed respectfully without looking to the side. He showed no arrogance as a disciple of a major sect, only the vigor unique to young people, which made people feel good about him.

"A naturally born Fire Virtue Body, fellow Daoist, you have truly taken on a fine disciple."

Since you call me Martial Uncle, I can't leave without showing my appreciation. I'll give you some insights into the laws, hoping you'll find them useful.

Having said that, Song Changsheng gently touched Jun Tianli's brow, passing on his understanding of the Five Elements Laws to him. Jun Tianli was initially somewhat skeptical, after all, the Myriad Manifestations Palace had accumulated tens of thousands of years of experience, producing dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and had no shortage of understanding of the laws.

But when he came into contact with the contents, he was instantly stunned and stood motionless.

Upon seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Ji Shinian's eyes. He had already heard about Song Changsheng's mastery of the laws and knew that Jun Tianli must have received a great gift.

He reached out and gently patted Jun Tianli's shoulder, saying solemnly, "Hurry up and thank your Uncle Zixu."

Jun Tianli snapped out of his daze, bowed respectfully, and couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

At this moment, Yi Tianzheng's figure floated down from the sky, looked at everyone and said, "Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his Palace Master's token and opened the spatial teleportation array leading to the Myriad Manifestations Academy.

Following their respective teachers, everyone entered in an orderly fashion...

Although the Myriad Phenomena Academy belongs to the Myriad Phenomena Palace, the academy is not located in the Great Qian Cultivation World, but in the East Sea.

As the initiator and leader of the development of the East China Sea, Wanxiang Palace occupies a vast territory, including several islands the size of the Twin Islands. Its core area is a giant island called Hai'an.

Although it is called an island, it is actually divided according to the standards of the Purple Imperial Realm. In Song Changsheng's eyes, it is a small continent, which is only slightly smaller than the current Great Qi Cultivation Realm, but far larger than the Great Qi Cultivation Realm of the past.

The long coastline stretches as far as the eye can see. Amidst the swirling clouds, the first thing that catches the eye is a vast expanse of lush green forest, followed by towering, majestic peaks that seem to pierce the clouds. Looking down, one can see a majestic mountain range that winds and spreads out like a giant dragon.

A wide river almost divides this giant island in two.

The banks of the Yangtze River are dotted with houses and pavilions, bustling with activity yet orderly.

Further on, on the most magnificent sacred mountain, sit many palaces and pavilions, some even built in the air.

The rich spiritual energy had transformed into pure white mist, rising into the air, resembling a fairyland from afar.

That was the location of the Myriad Manifestations Academy. Unfortunately, they were just passing through and wouldn't stay long. After meeting up with the people from the academy, they boarded a huge celestial ship and officially set off.

Before, when I was in it, I didn't feel anything special, but now that I'm in the air, I can barely catch a glimpse of the entire island.

This wasn't Song Changsheng's first time in the East Sea; he had roughly explored this sea area near the Great Qian Cultivation World, but this was the first time he had seen a spirit island of Hai'an Island of this size.

It's even rarer to see something developed to this extent.

According to Ji Shinian, there are tens of thousands of permanent cultivators on this spirit island, and even more cultivators move between the major ports every day. In addition to cultivators, there are also tens of millions of mortals who depend on the Myriad Manifestations Palace.

“There’s still a long way to go.”

Song Changsheng sighed inwardly. Compared to others, the Song family still had a lot of work to do.

"Master, are we going to take a flying boat to the Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty?" Xu Miaoyin, who was looking around by the window, suddenly asked.

Although Xu Miaoyin was young, she had traveled far before. She had followed a fleet from the cultivation world of Daqi to the East Sea, which took several years.

That memory is still vivid in my mind.

The journey between the Great Qian Cultivation World and the Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty is no shorter than that trip before.

If we had to travel for several more years, it would be too boring.

"Probably not, there's not enough time," Song Changsheng said, shaking his head slightly.

He was also curious about how the Wanxiang Palace would travel.

The celestial warship they were on was a true fourth-tier celestial warship, with a speed comparable to a Golden Core cultivator. Even so, it would still take at least a year to arrive, making it far less efficient than a space teleportation array.

The teleportation array that might lead to the Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty is not under the control of the Myriad Manifestations Palace at either end. Considering safety issues, it is highly unlikely that they will take it.

Just then, Ji Shinian suddenly spoke up: "They're here."

Song Changsheng and the others looked out and saw an inconspicuous little black dot flashing in the distance. In the blink of an eye, it arrived above the spaceship and revealed two figures.

One of them was dressed in black tight-fitting clothes. He was ten feet tall and looked like an iron tower from a distance. Every muscle was full of explosive power. He just stood there quietly, giving people an immense pressure.

Beside him was a woman in blue wearing a hood and veil, completely covered from head to toe, even her hands were covered with gloves.

"This is another Supreme Elder of our palace, the Dragon Elephant True Lord. He is also the Dean of the Myriad Elephant Academy and is stationed on Hai'an Island year-round. He will be traveling with us on this trip, so please come with me to pay him a visit." Ji Shinian explained in a low voice, and then led everyone to the deck.

"We pay our respects to the Dragon Elephant True Lord!"

"No need for formalities, I am late." Dragon Elephant True Lord laughed heartily, his voice was very cheerful. He landed on the deck with the woman in green, and with a gentle wave of his sleeve, everyone felt an invisible force lifting them up.

Song Changsheng raised his head and looked at the woman in green next to the Dragon Elephant True Monarch with a slightly inquisitive gaze. The woman's cultivation was at the Great Perfection of the Purple Mansion realm, and she was obviously the "trump card" that the Myriad Manifestations Palace had high hopes for.

According to Jianxin Zhenren's description at the time, his aptitude should be even better than Jun Tianli, who possessed the innate "Fire Virtue Body". It is unknown what kind of special bloodline or spiritual body he possesses.

They took this detour largely because of her.

"She is the most talented disciple of Ghost King Valley in this generation, possessing the rare [Nine Yin Body]. She was specially recruited into the academy and has been cultivating under the guidance of the Supreme Elder. Among the Purple Mansion stage disciples participating in this competition, she is the one with the best chance of entering the top three." Ji Shinian explained through telepathy, seeing what Song Changsheng was thinking.

"The Nine Yin Body?" Song Changsheng was shocked. No wonder the Myriad Manifestations Palace was so confident. This was a powerful spiritual body with potential far exceeding the Fire Virtue Body.

However, to his surprise, the other party was actually from Ghost King Valley.

To increase their chances of winning, the Myriad Manifestations Palace has truly gone to any lengths, since in the Great Qian cultivation world, Ghost King Valley is the only force capable of threatening the Myriad Manifestations Palace's transcendent status.

"It's getting late, everyone. Let's prepare to set off." The Dragon Elephant True Lord's voice boomed as he flew to the front of the warship.

Without making any visible movement, he simply stretched out his hands and plunged them directly into the void, slowly tearing the space apart to both sides...
