Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

The battle between three Nascent Soul level experts was so powerful that it could only be described as earth-shattering. They unleashed a multitude of laws and divine abilities, and each exchange tested the limits of the spatial barrier's capacity.

With his Nascent Soul Dharma Image towering three hundred feet high, Yi Tianzheng was only slightly at a disadvantage even when fighting two opponents at once.

Wind, frost, ice storms, thunder, and lightning—various celestial phenomena unfolded one after another in his hands, and the surrounding space, unable to bear the burden, began to crumble.

Although Yi Tianzheng was stronger than they expected, Kong Sang Li Feng's purpose in coming here was not to kill him, because that was a completely unrealistic fantasy.

No matter what method is used, none of those who can break through to the Nascent Soul realm are easy targets. They have all sorts of trump cards to protect themselves. Unless you have the power to completely overwhelm them, it is a pipe dream to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Especially since Yi Tianzheng is a Nascent Soul True Monarch from an ancient sect, he has countless trump cards, and he can easily protect himself in the hands of the two of them.

"If these are all the tricks you two have up your sleeves, then I will not keep you company any longer," Yi Tianzheng said calmly, standing on the broad shoulders of the Nascent Soul Dharma Image.

Upon hearing this, Kongsang Lifeng gave Shenyun a wink, and Shenyun understood immediately, unleashing thirty-six Shenzhu pearls at once.

These mirage beads rapidly circled in the air, transforming into a pure white halo that merged into the surrounding space. This not only sealed off the void within a thousand miles, cutting off Yi Tianzheng's possibility of tearing through space to escape, but the mirage energy released by the mirage beads also constructed an illusionary space in this area.

As an innate divine ability of the Mirage Demon race, this illusionary space is extraordinary, and even Yi Tianzheng will inevitably be affected to some extent.

"Yi Tianzheng, this is where you will die!" Kong Sang Li Feng's tone was icy, concealing murderous intent.

The white jade flute in his hand played softly, and waves of demonic sounds capable of controlling one's mind immediately enveloped Yi Tianzheng, continuously assaulting his nerves. Combined with the illusory space created by the mirage, it posed a considerable threat to Yi Tianzheng.

Judging from their behavior, it seemed like they wanted to kill him, but upon closer examination, it seemed that their purpose was not so simple.

With their combined strength, even if they cut off his escape route, it wouldn't be easy for them to wear him down.

Moreover, he was not alone. Lei Kanze, who was in charge of overseeing the Myriad Manifestations Palace, could provide him with support at any time, and it was impossible for them to succeed. Both sides were well aware of this.

This makes it quite intriguing.

"Is this a diversionary tactic... or a trap?" Yi Tianzheng pondered to himself as he defended against the two men's relentless attacks.

Judging from the current situation, Kong Sang Li Feng's goal should be to threaten him in order to lure Lei Kan Ze to come.

If this is a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, it means they have another objective, and to achieve that objective, they must first get Lei Kanze away.

If they've lured us into a trap, then they must have some other tricks up their sleeves, intending to wipe us all out in one fell swoop.

Whether it's the former or the latter, Lei Kanze's movements are particularly important, and the consequences they could lead to are quite different.

When the enemy's plans are unclear, remaining inactive is the safest course of action.

With Lei Kanze in charge of the Myriad Manifestations Palace, no matter what schemes Kong Sang Li Feng and the others might have, they can react quickly and not give them any opportunity to take advantage.

However, this would make his situation extremely dangerous, since all of the above were just his speculations based on the other party's behavior, and it was entirely possible that Kong Sang Li Feng was deliberately using tricks to influence his judgment.

The purpose was to have Lei Kanze oversee the Wanxiang Palace, preventing him from making any rash moves.

After all, besides the two points mentioned above, Kongsang Lifeng and Shenyun may also be targeting him.

The truth is hard to discern, and he lacks the ability to read minds, so he cannot see into Kong Sang Li Feng's heart and therefore cannot draw an accurate conclusion.

Being unable to be in two places at once is always the most practical problem.

Kong Sang Li Feng chose the perfect timing. If it weren't for the Five Academies Conference, the three Nascent Soul True Monarchs of Wanxiang Palace could have handled everything perfectly and wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to tell Lei Kanze not to act rashly.

In this situation, it could be said that he was surrounded by the other side, or it could be said that he single-handedly restrained two powerful demon lords of the sea race.

The question now is how long he can hold out. The longer he holds out, the more advantageous it will be for the war situation in the East China Sea!

At the same time, an invisible storm has quietly descended upon the Tianqin cultivation world.

Inside a secluded cultivation chamber within Thousand Sound Valley, Tianyao Zhenren, one of only two Golden Core Great Perfection cultivators in the Tianqin cultivation world, sat on an extremely cold ice bed, barely clinging to life. She stared in shock and anger at the two people standing before her, her face ashen. With her last strength, she fiercely questioned, "Who exactly are you!"

Master Shi Xun said calmly, "I am Shi Xun. Is my grandmaster perhaps getting senile?"

"Impossible...cough cough cough..." Tianyao Zhenren coughed violently, dark red blood spilling uncontrollably from the corner of her mouth. She could feel her remaining life force rapidly draining away.

At this moment, she was well aware that the two people in front of her had long been replaced by someone else.

Despite her nearly thousand years of arduous cultivation and countless encounters with people, she had not noticed anything amiss, which sent a chill down her spine.

Shi Xun, Yu Xian, and even Yu Xiao were all Golden Core cultivators she had personally trained. Yu Xian's cultivation had even reached the late Golden Core stage, and she regarded him as the future hope of Thousand Voices Valley. However, she didn't know when he started to become a traitor.

She was quite certain that the two people in front of her were not other people in disguise, but that was precisely why she found it hard to accept.

"Cough cough cough... At this point, there's no need to pretend anymore, right?"
How did you manage to do that, possession?

This is the only explanation she can think of right now, but even she doesn't believe it. What kind of cultivation level would it take to possess a Golden Core cultivator's body without leaving the slightest trace?

If it was a possession before breaking through to the Golden Core stage, then it means that the other party started planning at least several hundred years ago, and accurately selected these few promising talents who could successfully break through to the Golden Core stage from among the many elders of Thousand Voice Valley. This is simply too sensational.

"Think whatever you want, don't even think about finding the answer from me," said Master Shi Xun, his hands behind his back, his tone icy.

"Yu Xiao is also one of your people. From the sneak attack on Fellow Daoist Huayin to the great war between the two sects, everything was your doing."

"Since that's the case, the deaths of Xiao Sheng and Qing Yin are also related to you!" Tianyao Zhenren said through gritted teeth.

"Hehe, yes, you're right."

Not only that, but I was the one who revealed your whereabouts to the Thunder King's Palace. You shouldn't have come back alive.

"Unfortunately, you've kept the secret of the Imperial Seal of the State too well hidden, which will only allow you to prolong your existence for a while longer." A sinister smile appeared on Shi Xun Zhenren's face. Although it was still the same face, it made Tian Yao Zhenren feel extremely unfamiliar and disgusted.

"You've really gone to great lengths for the Imperial Seal..."

At this moment, Tianyao Zhenren felt nothing but grief and indignation. The millennia-old foundation of Qiansheng Valley had been destroyed in her hands, and she had even revealed the secret of the Imperial Seal. Just then, Xiao Sheng, dressed in a black robe, strode in from outside, carrying a square jade box with intertwined dragons, his face beaming with joy. "The Imperial Seal has been found!" he exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Shi Xun and Yu Xian hurriedly went to greet them, reached out and opened the jade box, revealing a dragon-shaped jade seal that was only the size of an adult's fist.

They could clearly feel the immense power contained within the jade seal.

Yu Xian Zhenren carefully picked up the jade seal, and looking at the large characters at the bottom that were deeply stained with cinnabar, a deep greed appeared in her eyes.

After hundreds of years of lurking and countless efforts, we have finally obtained this item!
After a long pause, she suppressed the greed in her eyes, carefully put away the jade seal, then looked back at the furious Tianyao Zhenren, and said calmly to Shi Xun, "She can't be one of us, kill her."

A ferocious smile appeared on Shi Xun's face, and his eyes flashed with malice as he said, "Leave it to me. I've wanted to kill this troublesome old thing for a long time."

He walked up to Tianyao Zhenren, bent his palm into a claw, and directly gripped her head.

A vortex appeared in his palm, frantically drawing away the last remaining life essence and spiritual power of True Person Tianyao.

A look of enjoyment immediately appeared on Shi Xun's face.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Tianyao Zhenren was reduced to a mere empty shell with hollow eyes.

With a slight exertion of force, her head instantly shattered into pieces.

This Golden Core cultivator, who had dominated the Tianqin cultivation world for hundreds of years, died in the most humiliating way.

Master Yuxian witnessed this scene without any emotional fluctuation. He calmly said, "Yuxiao, sound the death knell and gather all the disciples in the valley. Tell Elder Yan that he was ambushed by Miaoyin Pavilion and died from his injuries. Immediately send troops to attack Miaoyin Pavilion!"

After saying that, he looked at Shi Xun and said, "Immediately inform the Left Protector that the Imperial Seal has been obtained and the destruction of Miaoyin Pavilion is just around the corner!"

"clang……"

A somber death knell tolled throughout Thousand Sound Valley. This toll was not only the death knell for True Person Tianyao, but also the death knell for the entire Tianqin cultivation world...

The Great Immortal Dynasty, Central Plains.

Under the leadership of Marquis Dingyuan, Song Changsheng and his entourage settled on the floating island located in the very center of the capital.

After inquiring, it was learned that they were the first to arrive, apart from the Zhulu Academy belonging to the Dazhen Immortal Dynasty. The Beast Taming Sect, the Hundred Cauldrons Pavilion, and the Ji Clan were still on their way.

"Such rich spiritual energy! Even a fifth-order spiritual vein couldn't compare!" A Song clan cultivator took a deep breath and said with a face full of emotion.

“The Myriad Manifestations Palace is built on the only fifth-order spiritual vein in the Great Qian cultivation world, but the spiritual energy there is not as abundant as that of Gaoyang City. This is probably due to the formation.” Song Jingrun analyzed logically.

Song Changsheng slowly said, "The concentration of spiritual energy in Gaoyang City is almost at its peak. Only the legendary blessed lands can surpass it."

During this time, you must not waste this precious opportunity.

Apart from Song Youlin, all the Song clan cultivators who accompanied them on this trip were cultivators below the Purple Mansion stage. The rich spiritual energy of Gaoyang City had a significant boost to their cultivation.

It's no exaggeration to say that cultivating on this floating island in one day is equivalent to cultivating for several days on a normal day. It's like cultivating on a fourth-tier spiritual vein while constantly using mid-grade spirit stones.

This five-academy conference will last from six months to a year.

For Xu Miaoyin and others, this is a valuable opportunity to quickly improve themselves.

At that moment, a fierce roar came from afar and clearly reached everyone's ears.

"How could there be demonic beasts in such an important royal city?" Song Jingrun asked, his brows furrowing slightly.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw several black dots rapidly enlarging in their pupils on the horizon.

Soon, their full appearance was revealed to everyone.

Those were spirit beasts of various shapes and sizes. In the center was a huge [Giant Winged Thunder Eagle] with a wingspan of over a thousand feet. Dozens of figures stood on its broad back.

On the left and right sides were a saber-toothed griffin and a seven-colored phoenix, each carrying more than a dozen figures on its back.

These three demonic beasts, without exception, have all reached the level of demon kings.

Besides these three demon kings, there was also a soaring azure dragon with two wings on its back, a single horn and four claws, and eyes like blazing torches. It had also reached the level of a demon king.

This is an extremely rare [Azure Scaled Pterosaur], a subspecies of Yinglong. Yinglong is a being that can rival the Ancestral Dragon, and even as a subspecies, its bloodline should not be underestimated.

Moreover, the creature in front of them was a genuine purebred pterosaur, and its pure dragon might was unmistakable. The roar they had just heard clearly came from it.

If the spirit beast mount is already so extraordinary, its owner must also be no ordinary person.

A young cultivator, dressed in blood-red robes, with a tall and imposing figure, stood atop the back of the Azure Scaled Wyvern. The intense, malevolent aura emanating from him was almost tangible.

Looking across the entire human cultivation world, there are few forces that can field such a luxurious lineup of spirit beasts. Clearly, this group of people are disciples of the Beast Taming Sect who have come to attend the conference.

The young man in blood at the front should be the legendary Holy Son of the Beast Taming Sect.

Decades ago, he narrowly lost to the eldest prince of the Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty. Now, he has clearly been tempered and become even stronger, making him a favorite to win this tournament.

His cultivation level also unsurprisingly reached the late Golden Core stage!
The group also landed on the floating island. The Holy Son of the Beast Taming Sect glanced at the crowd and finally landed on Ling Xiao, saying indifferently, "I didn't expect you to have broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm. I hope you won't disappoint me this time."

"We'll just have to wait and see," Ling Xiao replied in a clear voice.

The Holy Son of the Beast Taming Sect nodded slightly, then immediately withdrew his gaze, as if no one else was worthy of his attention.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, you fought him before," Song Changsheng asked curiously via telepathy.

Before Ling Xiao could answer, another ferocious giant warship appeared on the horizon, with a large blue flag bearing the character "季" written in ancient seal script fluttering in the wind.

"【The Ji Family of Tianshui】!"
