Qinghe Immortal Clan.

When Song Qingming suddenly took this item out in front of her, Bai Yuxian had wondered if it might be some kind of martial arts manual.

But when she confirmed that what she held in her hand was actually a Nascent Soul stage cultivation technique that was enough to shock the entire cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, she still couldn't believe that Song Qingming had directly passed on such an important technique to her.

When Bai Yuxian asked for confirmation again, Song Qingming calmly nodded in response.

"Senior Sister Bai, this cultivation method is best suited for those with a single-attribute spiritual root, and it is indeed very suitable for you to cultivate."

However, the Purple Sun Divine Light Technique is an ancient inheritance, and if it were to become known to outsiders, it would likely attract the covetous eyes of cultivators from major sects.

After you begin your cultivation, you will need to be careful in dealing with others. It would be best not to let others know about it for the time being.

If Senior Sister has the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul realm in the future, and we are then able to protect ourselves, it won't be too late to leave our legacy for this senior."

"Yes! I've taken your words to heart."

Bai Yuxian nodded slightly in response, and then said:

"It's rare that Junior Brother Song is willing to give me such a valuable cultivation technique. However, my cultivation level is still insufficient, and I don't have anything good to offer you in exchange for it."

"Why don't I make a note of this for now, and when my cultivation improves and I'm fortunate enough to find something comparable, I'll repay this kindness to you?"

"Senior Sister Bai, we've known each other for so many years, and I've never treated you like an outsider. If you think that way, you're being a bit distant with me."

To be honest, since this technique is of great importance, I have had to be very careful over the years. I really thought about it for a long time before deciding to give it to you.

But now that I've made my choice, I naturally won't regret it, and it's certainly not for the sake of a favor. Senior Sister, please rest assured.

Back then, when I received the Purple Sun Divine Light Technique in the "Purple Sun Heavenly Palace".

Seeing that this cultivation method was suitable for cultivators with a single-attribute spiritual root, the first person Song Qingming thought of who would be suitable to cultivate it was his senior sister Bai Yuxian.

However, Song Qingming had not taken out this Nascent Soul stage cultivation technique earlier because it was too valuable and might attract the covetousness of others.

Only now that he has advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage and has a certain ability to protect himself in the cultivation world, did he feel comfortable handing over the cultivation technique to Bai Yuxian.

With Bai Yuxian's celestial spiritual root aptitude, as long as he can successfully switch to cultivating the "Purple Sun Divine Light Technique," his probability of advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage in the future will definitely increase significantly.

It's even possible that they could break through to the Nascent Soul stage, just like the "Two Saints of Ziyang".

However, whether she can actually achieve these things is still too early to say; it depends on her future opportunities and circumstances.

Currently, Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi are only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and they are not considered strong among those at that level.

If Bai Yuxian can truly advance to the late Nascent Soul stage using this technique, Song Qingming will have another powerful helper by his side.

This will be a powerful boost for both the sect and himself in the future.

If the "Free and Unfettered Sect" can possess two great cultivators, the entire cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range will undergo earth-shattering changes in the future.

By then, neither the demons of the "Floating Cloud Mountains" in the north nor the "Heavenly Sea Alliance" in the south will pose any threat to them.

This was something Song Qingming was very willing to see, which is why he was so confident in handing over the cultivation technique to Bai Yuxian.

Seeing Song Qingming wave his hand calmly, Bai Yuxian stared intently at him, unsure of what to say.

"As the saying goes, great kindness needs no thanks, and since you say so, it would be a bit pretentious for me to be polite to you. So, Senior Sister, please accept this gift first."

From this day forward, my junior brother will be my teacher, and I will be indebted to you for passing on my teachings. In the future, please do not hesitate to ask me for help.

After putting the bamboo slip in her hand into her waist "storage bag", Bai Yuxian then bowed solemnly to the person in front of her.

Seeing this, Song Qingming quickly stepped forward and helped him up.

"When I was forming my nascent soul, Senior Sister Bai risked her life to go to the outer sea to protect me. She also had the grace of protecting the path, just like me."

Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have gotten to where I am today so smoothly.

The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties and dangers. It is not easy for us cultivators to achieve enlightenment. The threshold of the late Nascent Soul stage alone has stumped countless talents in the cultivation world for thousands of years.

Senior Sister Bai, it's difficult to achieve great things alone. We will need to support each other in the future.

The scenery before us is beautiful, but if we can only stand here, our gaze will ultimately be limited to this place, and we will find it difficult to see further.

I hope that one day, my senior sister and I can climb to even higher mountain peaks together and see the even more beautiful scenery of this world.

After speaking, Song Qingming turned to look north, revealing for the first time to Bai Yuxian the ambition he had kept hidden for many years.

Hearing what the other party said, Bai Yuxian was also quite excited.

A moment later, she moved her feet gently and walked to Song Qingming's side.

“Since Junior Brother Song has such lofty ambitions, how can I, as his senior sister, fall behind you?”

Junior brother, you are a person blessed by heaven. I believe that your path will not stop here. Sooner or later, you will be able to lead the sect and us out of the Floating Cloud Mountains.

Perhaps one day, I too will witness your ascension to immortality. When you become an ancestor, my junior brother, you must not forget me.

"Haha, I am grateful for your kind words, Senior Sister! I will never forget them!"

".."

After bowing to Song Qingming in farewell, Bai Yuxian turned and strode out of the stone pavilion with a smile on her face.

In recent years, due to the limitations of her own incomplete cultivation techniques, Bai Yuxian's cultivation has progressed slowly, and the gap between her and her junior brother Song Qingming has widened.

Now that she has obtained the "Purple Sun Divine Light Technique," which can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, the obstacles that have plagued her for many years have suddenly become clear, and a rare smile has appeared on her face.

Bai Yuxian cast a spell to release her purple flying chariot, her gaze becoming more resolute. She then transformed into a streak of light and passed directly through the "mountain-protecting formation."

Only after Bai Yuxian left did Song Qingming slowly withdraw his gaze from the stone pavilion. At this moment, a figure in blue robes appeared beside him.

"Seventh Brother, what were you and Senior Sister Bai whispering about for so long just now?"

"We didn't say anything, so don't ask around."

Looking at Song Qingyu, who was staring at him with curiosity, Song Qingming shook his head slightly and turned to leave.

But before he could even step out of the stone pavilion, Song Qingyu suddenly blocked his way again.

"Seventh Brother, how could you do this? I clearly saw you give Senior Sister Bai a scroll just now. Tell me quickly, what kind of cultivation technique is inside? Did you get it in the Heavenly Palace?"

"You really want to know?"

"Okay! Don't worry, Seventh Brother, I promise I will never tell Senior Sister Li."

Seeing Song Qingming with a slight smile on his lips beckoning to her, Song Qingyu quickly smiled and leaned closer.

The next moment, before she could react, a finger quickly appeared and gently tapped Song Qingyu's forehead.

With a loud "bang!", Song Qingyu was sent flying out of the stone pavilion.

A moment later, Song Qingyu, who was standing in mid-air touching her forehead, saw that the stone pavilion was empty and could only sigh with displeasure.

"Fine, don't tell me then, why are you getting angry!"

".."

After returning to his cave, Song Qingming had just closed the door when a figure that looked somewhat like him suddenly walked over. It was the avatar he had recently created.

"You're back!"

"Hmm! Have they been doing alright lately? How's Xiao Jin?"

After a year of adaptation, Song Qingming's avatar had long lost its initial awkwardness, and its speech and actions were no different from those of a normal cultivator.

Now, he can not only help take care of spirit insects and spirit beasts in the cave, but he can also help Song Qingming brew spirit tea, although his skills are not as good as his own.

If others weren't paying close attention, they might easily mistake him for a real Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Xiao Jin is still in seclusion and hasn't come out yet. He's probably still trying to break through to a higher realm. Senior Qu Bai went back to Qinghe County some time ago."

He asked me to tell you that Yu Shan is preparing to go into seclusion to form his core, and he wants to stay in Funiu Mountain to protect him for a while. I have already informed Yuan Fang of this.

"Hmm! With him around, nothing should happen."

Song Qingming took a sip of the spiritual tea, nodded slightly, then waved to the avatar in front of him, who quickly turned and left the hall.

After being refined into a weapon spirit by Song Qingming, Qu Bai's natal spirit has not yet recovered, but he can already control the puppet to act independently with the help of the "Sacred Star Disc".

However, now that he is a spirit, his actions are still restricted by his master, Song Qingming.

No matter where he is, as long as Song Qingming uses his internal magic, he can recall him and the Sacred Star Disc to his hands at any time, so there is no need to worry about him leaving "Red Cloud Mountain" alone.

Qu Bai is a cultivator from the upper realm. Although he is now in the form of a spirit, he will definitely be of great help to Song Qingming's future path of cultivation.

Moreover, he is now able to control that physical puppet to act independently.

Given time, once Qu Bai recovers his original primordial spirit, Song Qingming will have another late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator by his side.

After resting for a while in the main hall of the cave, Song Qingming got up and returned to his secluded cultivation chamber, where he took out the "white jade tablet" that he had recently obtained.

Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, two more iron plates of similar size stood in mid-air, and the three "Mysterious Realm Heavenly Books" slowly rotated around Song Qingming.

Now that he has cultivated the "Heavenly Myriad Spirits Technique" within his body to the peak of the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, Song Qingming plans to go into seclusion for a period of time to break through this technique to the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.

There are still more than two hundred years until the next opening of the Tower of Babel. He has now advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage and has three Mysterious Heavenly Books to help him.

If Song Qingming was initially worried about whether he could cultivate the "Heavenly Myriad Spirits Technique" to the late Nascent Soul stage, his confidence has now increased considerably.

Both are legacies left behind by ancient ascended cultivators, but the "Purple Sun Heavenly Palace" has been visited by many cultivators long ago, and little remains of what was left inside. Even though Song Qingming found the legacies left by the two saints, all he obtained were a few high-level cultivation techniques.

Through his two encounters with "Xuantian", Song Qingming was able to confirm that no one in "Tongtian Pavilion" had truly obtained the inheritance within.

If two hundred years from now, I can successfully obtain this complete inheritance left by the cultivators of the upper realm.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the probability of Song Qingming advancing to the Nascent Soul realm in the future will be greatly increased.

At that time, even if one cannot cultivate to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, with the help of Qu Bai and the "Sacred Star Plate," one can, as the woman in purple said, try to find a weak point in the spatial node to sneak into the upper realm.

Compared to other late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, Song Qingming no longer feels the same confusion he once had about his path to enlightenment.

This is also the source of his confidence to speak out the bold words he had kept hidden for many years in front of Bai Yuxian.

However, these future events are still quite far away for Song Qingming. Whether he can truly reach that point depends on his steady and patient progress step by step.

After putting aside his thoughts, Song Qingming quickly probed the three "Mysterious Realm Heavenly Books" in front of him with his divine sense, and soon the entire secret room lit up with a burst of spiritual light.

".."

Six years later, at the summit of "Funiu Mountain".

Suddenly, white clouds rolled and gathered above a cave on the mountaintop, which was originally a clear blue sky.

Upon witnessing this sudden scene, the Song family cultivators who were guarding nearby quickly sent a message to the family's law enforcement team to activate the "Mountain Protection Array".

As soon as the mountaintop was enveloped in spiritual light, more than a dozen cultivators from the Song family who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage or above rushed to the vicinity of the cave to protect him.

After several days, when the strange phenomenon subsided, a middle-aged man dressed in a yellow robe slowly strode out of the cave with a slight smile.

Thirty years later, unexpectedly, the Song family has produced another Golden Core Ancestor.

Looking at Song Yushan, whose aura had stabilized at the Golden Core stage, Song Yuanfang and Song Yu'an stepped forward and offered their congratulations.

"Yu Shan, congratulations on successfully forming your core!"

"Congratulations, Ancestor, on achieving the Golden Elixir!"

Looking at the familiar figures before him, Song Yushan, who had cultivated for over 180 years and finally achieved the Golden Core Dao, felt even more conflicted.

Although his talent was average, he reached the Core Formation stage much later than Song Yu'an, who was exceptionally talented among his peers.

However, for him, who had already exhausted all his efforts, the leap from a Foundation Establishment cultivator to the Golden Core realm was not just about crossing a single realm, but also about deeply experiencing the hardships involved.

After dealing with the many fellow cultivators who came to congratulate him, Song Yushan had just returned to his cave when he saw a figure walking towards him.

"Senior Qu Bai, are you leaving?"

"Hmm! I've had enough of staying here for the past few years. I'm going back to Chiyun Mountain first. If you want to see me in the future, you can go there to find Song Qingming."

Nothing is impossible on the path of cultivation. With your talent, advancing to the Nascent Soul realm is difficult, but not entirely hopeless. Do not slacken in your cultivation.

"I will never forget your teachings, senior!"

Knowing that his talent for cultivation was only average, Song Yushan probably wouldn't have been able to even pass the Foundation Establishment stage if it weren't for the help of the mysterious Nascent Soul senior, Qu Bai.

Even if Qu Bai didn't say it aloud, he was well aware in his heart that his path was unlikely to go much further.

After watching the person in front of him leave, Song Yushan returned to his cave and did not rush to cultivate. Instead, he took out a scroll of array formations that Qu Bai had given him.

Perhaps in the path of cultivation, I am not as enlightened as the other Golden Core cultivators in my clan.

But at least in the formation process, apart from the high and mighty Nascent Soul ancestor of his family, Song Yushan believed that he was no less capable than the others.

".."

Not long after Song Yushan broke through to the Golden Core stage, a five-colored glow also appeared on the summit of "Red Cloud Mountain".

As a figure in blue slowly walked out of the cave, Song Qingming and Li Xuanyi, who were standing not far away, immediately rushed to greet him with a hint of surprise.

"Qingyu!"

"Congratulations, Qingyu, on advancing to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. I didn't expect you to break through your cultivation so quickly. I think your talent is in no way inferior to Junior Brother Song's."

"I estimate that you will become a great cultivator in less than a hundred years!"

"Hehe! My breakthrough in cultivation this time was just a bit of luck. How dare I compare myself to a genius like Seventh Brother? Senior Sister Li, please don't try to flatter me."

In response to Li Xuanyi's congratulations, Song Qingyu waved her hand modestly, a rare occurrence for her.

Six years ago, Song Qingyu's cultivation had already been successfully raised to the peak of the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from breaking through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

After honing his skills over several years, Song Qingyu recently used his spirit stones to purchase a level-four spirit pill that could aid in advancement from the "Heavenly Pill Alliance".

After two years of seclusion, Song Qingyu unexpectedly broke through his cultivation level and reached the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

When Song Qingming sensed a change in the spiritual energy on the mountain, he thought it was the "Ice-Fire Dragon" causing a strange phenomenon. He was surprised to find that Song Qingyu had broken through her cultivation level first.

Faced with Song Qingyu's rare display of humility, Song Qingming quickly replied with a smile:

"Qingyu, you have only been in the Nascent Soul stage for a little over a hundred years, yet you have successfully advanced to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. You are indeed no less capable than I was back then."

"You are, after all, Senior Ling's highly skilled disciple. If the opportunity arises, advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years is not impossible for you."

"Yes! Seventh Brother is right. I am able to break through this time thanks to the cultivation insights that Master left me back then. Otherwise, I would probably have wasted a lot more time."

However, you don't need to comfort me about advancing to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm; I'm not confident I can catch up with Seventh Brother.

"Seventh Brother, you've emerged from seclusion this time. Has your cultivation improved again? Are you about to break through to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Hehe! My cultivation has now reached the late stage of Nascent Soul. Breaking through to a higher realm is not an easy thing. Don't think nonsense here."

Once one's cultivation reaches the late Nascent Soul stage, the amount of magical power required to advance each step is several times greater than before.

Normally, it would be very difficult to break through one's cultivation level without more than a hundred years of arduous training.

Although Song Qingming has been at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul realm for over twenty years, he has only accumulated about 20-30% of his internal magical power, and there is still a long way to go before he can break through to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm.

Although his cultivation level didn't improve that quickly, Song Qingming's seclusion over the past few years wasn't without its gains.

After six years of secluded cultivation and numerous attempts, Song Qingming successfully broke through to the third level of the Nascent Soul realm in the "Heavenly Myriad Spirits Technique" three years ago.

In truth, he had to thank the third "Mysterious Realm Heavenly Book" he had obtained. Without its help, Song Qingming's breakthrough in his cultivation technique would not have been so smooth, and it would have taken much longer.

After successfully advancing to the third level of the Nascent Soul stage with the "Heavenly Myriad Spirits Technique," Song Qingming's divine sense also improved significantly, becoming comparable to that of a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator.

It is estimated that once the cultivation technique breaks through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, it will be close to those cultivators at the half-step Divine Transformation stage.

After exchanging a few casual words with Song Qingming, Song Qingyu seemed to remember something and asked directly:
"Seventh Brother, didn't Senior Sister Bai say she would take me with her to the Eastern Phoenix Sword Tournament this time? Have you heard any news about it recently?"

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Bai sent a message half a year ago. She won't set off for at least another six months. You should go into seclusion to consolidate your cultivation first. I will let you know when the time comes."

Two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the time for the trade fair to be held in the "Eastern Phoenix Kingdom" is also approaching. Song Qingming is also looking forward to this fair.

Having reached the late Nascent Soul stage, I quickly found elixirs to help improve my cultivation, and could only rely on secluded cultivation to slowly accumulate the mana within my body.

Since the Donghuang Kingdom was holding a trade fair, Song Qingming naturally wouldn't miss this rare opportunity to search for spiritual items, and he had already made an appointment with Bai Yuxian to set off.

Hearing what Song Qingming said, Song Qingyu nodded in relief before turning around and returning to her cave.

Soon only Song Qingming and Li Xuanyi remained standing in place.

Gazing at the setting sun in the distance, taking advantage of the rare opportunity to appreciate the beautiful scenery, Song Qingming pulled Li Xuanyi along and walked towards the mountaintop.

Before long, the two sat side by side on the huge rock at the top of the mountain.

As far as the eye can see, there is the sunset glow, the evening breeze, and the golden sea of ​​clouds!
As the setting sun cast its golden rays, the two of them gradually transformed into a radiant golden light, resembling a divine couple descending from the heavens in a book.

"Junior Brother Song, Qingyu broke through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm so quickly. Do you think I'm cultivating too slowly?"

"The path of sword cultivation is incredibly profound. Qingyu received personal guidance from Senior Ling back then, so it's not unexpected that she was able to break through her realm this time."

"You are cultivating your master's Taixu Sword Technique, and your future path in cultivation will be no less than hers, so there's no need to be too impatient."

"I've been at the Nascent Soul stage for so long, but I still can't catch up with Qingyu. I always feel like I'm not working hard enough."

Every step in the Nascent Soul realm is difficult. If I don't catch up with you soon, falling behind even one step will mean falling behind at every step, and I'm truly afraid I'll never catch up with you again.

"Don't worry, I'll see if I can help you purchase some pills for this Eastern Phoenix Sword Tournament to help you break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible."

With your current abilities, as long as you don't neglect your cultivation, catching up with her shouldn't be too difficult.

The setting sun in the distance had gradually sunk into the sea of ​​clouds and disappeared. Song Qingming, with Li Xuanyi in tow, slowly walked down from the mountaintop, facing the evening breeze.

Chatting and laughing all the way, the two soon stood at the entrance of Li Xuanyi's cave.

"I got back a little late today, so I won't go in and disturb your cultivation. We'll go to the Immortal Gathering Pavilion again in a few days after Qingyu comes out of seclusion."

But when Song Qingming said goodbye, Li Xuanyi held his arm tightly and never let go.

Just as Song Qingming looked at her with some confusion, Li Xuanyi suddenly spoke softly:

"Husband, do I not want to meditate and cultivate today?"

"..." (End of Chapter)
