Qinghe Immortal Clan.

On the east side of "Luomae Valley", there is a beautiful mountain peak over a hundred feet high.

Like most places in the valley, with the arrival of late autumn, the ground at the top of the mountain is already covered with a layer of golden fallen leaves.

A flash of light appeared not far away, and two figures quietly fell from the sky.

Song Qingming and the other man, who had just landed, walked quickly in the forest, and from time to time they could hear the sound of dead leaves breaking under their feet.

A moment later, the two came to an open space on the side of the mountain top and saw a lonely tombstone without any words standing in front of them.

"Seventh Uncle, Senior Feng He is buried here!"

Because when Feng He died for the first time, Qiu Daoping had already pretended that the sect's Nascent Soul ancestor had disappeared for no reason, and built a cenotaph for Feng He in the cemetery of all the ancestors of "Luofeng Valley".

In order to prevent others from knowing his own affairs, Feng He never held a "funeral" after he passed away.

Song Yuanli buried Feng He's remains quietly here according to his will. He did not even carve his name on the tombstone, only an inconspicuous stone tablet without any words on it.

This mountain was where Feng He lived when he first joined the "Luomae Valley". Some of his younger relatives were buried nearby.

Hearing the reminder from Song Yuanli beside him, Song Qingming nodded slightly and walked forward to the tombstone alone.

Arriving in front of Feng He's grave and looking at the blank tombstone in front of him, Song Qingming couldn't help but recall all the memories of his time with Feng He.

Thinking back to the time when they parted, Feng He's smiling face was still vivid in his mind. He didn't expect that when they met again, they would have been separated forever.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming felt a little regretful.

In order to kill Qiu Daoping and avenge him, Feng He practiced magic to attract the soul of the devil from the upper realm to the lower realm to fight the enemy. This also directly led to the consumption of hundreds of years of life and blood in his body in that battle.

After the battle, Song Qingming had actually noticed that Feng He's complexion was not right and felt that his injuries were somewhat serious.

However, when Feng He was asked by Song Qingming, he calmly denied the matter and stated that his injuries were still within controllable range.

This also made Song Qingming never doubt this matter in his heart over the years, thinking that the other party still had at least one or two hundred years to live.

He also didn't expect that Feng He didn't tell him the truth at the time because he was afraid that he would worry.

Even when Song Yuanli wanted to send him a message, he was stopped by him, which was enough to prove that Feng He did it on purpose because he didn't want him to worry about his affairs.

The two have been together for many years, so Song Qingming naturally understands Feng He's character very well. Although Feng He often speaks a bit harshly, he does not like to owe favors to others.

Song Qingming did not find it too strange that his old friend would do this. After thinking about it for a while, he quickly understood it.

After standing there for a while, as a breeze blew in the distance, countless leaves fell from the tall red maple trees around.

Seeing this, Song Qingming stepped forward and stretched out his hand to gently sweep across the tombstone to remove the fallen leaves on it. Then he took out a pot of spirit wine from his body and sat down in front of Feng He's grave.

After filling a cup with spiritual wine and placing it in front of the tombstone, Song Qingming lit the three spiritual incense sticks he had prepared, and then took out the letter that Feng He had left for him.

“My brother Qingming, I am glad to see your letter!

When I was young, I had the chance to become an immortal and entered Luofeng Valley. After that, I cultivated myself for more than 200 years and achieved the great path of Nascent Soul. My reputation spread far and wide.

It’s a pity that my path was too smooth at the beginning and I ignored the greed of human nature. Because I obtained a heavenly book from the upper realm, I was murdered. My body no longer exists and my path is completely ruined.

Although I have avenged my great hatred, my body has already become dry bones in a tomb. There is no way for me to become an immortal in this life, and I can only end my remaining life in the valley.

Although I come from a humble background, I have a firm mind and my prospects are limitless. I believe that you will eventually achieve Nascent Soul and become famous throughout the world.

It’s a pity that I am no longer blessed and will not be able to see this day.

The success or failure is determined by fate. I only regret that the path to immortality is too short and I cannot realize my ambitions.

Although I have many regrets in this life, what worries me most is the ancestral foundation of Luofeng Valley, as well as Yuanli and Shutian.

I hope that if you are willing to take care of them in the future, I will have no regrets.

. "

After reading Feng He's instructions word by word in the letter, Song Qingming put away the letter in his hand, picked up the spirit wine beside him and poured it directly on the open space in front of the tombstone.

"Brother Feng He, I know what you mean. I will do my best. Don't worry!"

If he had not been able to form a Nascent Soul, Song Qingming would probably be powerless in the face of Feng He's request.

But now, he has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and has the ability to change the fate of an entire sect.

As long as Song Qingming is still in this world, it will not be difficult for him to take care of Song Yuanli, Chen Shutian and Luofeng Valley.

After standing in front of the tombstone and making his promise to Feng He, Song Qingming poured out all the remaining wine in the pot as a formal farewell to his old friend.

When Song Qingming came to his senses and looked behind him, he found that Chen Shutian and Huang Siyuan had arrived at the mountain at some point.

He waved and called them over. Originally, Song Qingming wanted to ask if Feng He had any other descendants in "Luomae Valley".

The answer he got in the end, however, made him somewhat disappointed.

When Feng He was born in his first life, he married and took concubines in Luofeng Valley, leaving behind many younger generations. Chen Shutian, who became a Taoist partner with Song Yuanli, was one of them.

But later, Qiu Daoping teamed up with others to launch a surprise attack on Feng He and soon took control of the entire "Luomae Valley".

During this period, in order to cover up the fact that he attacked his fellow disciples, Qiu Daoping deliberately suppressed Feng He's disciples and descendants, both openly and covertly.

Most of the monks in his lineage died for no reason, and even the mortals living at the foot of the mountain were put under strict surveillance.

So much so that hundreds of years later, none of Feng He's descendants achieved immortality, and all the mortals living at the foot of the mountain were almost extinct in the "Luomae Valley".

Even this sacred mountain where Feng He's descendants are buried has been unattended for hundreds of years.

At the top of the mountain, except for Feng He's tomb which is still relatively conspicuous, the other desolate tombs around it have long lost their original appearance and are difficult to distinguish.

The reason why Chen Shutian was able to escape from Qiu Daoping's suppression and successfully form the elixir was because of this.

The main reason was that she was just a descendant of Feng He who married into a foreign family, so she was not specifically targeted by them.

Fortunately, after Song Yuanli and Chen Shutian took over "Luomae Valley", they spent a lot of time and energy over the years and found a few remaining descendants of the Fenghe lineage among the mortals living at the foot of the mountain.

However, none of them had spiritual roots, and Song Yuanli could not provide much support, so he could only reward them with some silver.

Upon hearing that Feng He's descendants were already very few, Song Qingming sighed in his heart, then turned around and left Feng He's tomb with everyone.

The mountain path was still covered with golden ground, and Song Qingming and the people behind him remained silent in tacit understanding.

The few of them walked slowly down the mountain, stepping on the fallen leaves.

After returning to the residence, seeing that Song Qingming was in a low mood, Huang Siyuan did not go out again and stayed quietly by his side.

Song Qingming, who felt unsettled in his heart, finally took the initiative to open his heart to his Taoist partner Huang Siyuan.

The two of them boiled a pot of wine and began to chat.

Song Qingming also recounted his acquaintance and friendship with Feng He.

He also told Huang Siyuan all about how he and Song Yuanli came to the "Tianhai Xiuxian World" to help him get revenge.

When Huang Siyuan was still in the foundation-building stage, she had already seen Feng He in "Qinghe County".

However, because the other party concealed his identity at the time, Huang Siyuan only knew that the visitor was an old friend of Song Qingming, and did not know Feng He's specific identity and origins.

After hearing the story of how Song Qingming met Feng He, Huang Siyuan felt a little emotional. She realized that Song Qingming had been hiding such a big secret in his heart.

In fact, Song Qingming's career has been so smooth over the years, and Huang Siyuan naturally thought that he might have encountered many personal opportunities outside.

However, she still underestimated Song Qingming's courage. She didn't expect that he would risk his life to help someone take over another's body, and follow Feng He to sneak into the "Tianhai Cultivation World" and surround and kill a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator.

Huang Siyuan, who learned the truth at this moment, was still frightened and couldn't help but worry about Song Qingming.

Although Song Qingming had been hiding the truth from her all these years, Huang Siyuan did not blame Song Qingming at all.

After all, the matter of Feng He's possession of another's body is of great importance. Once it is known to outsiders, Song Qingming will most likely not be accepted by the orthodox sects.

It will not only affect himself, but may also bring disaster to his clan members.

But now with Feng He's death, this matter is finally over.

Otherwise, Song Qingming would never easily mention this matter to her.

As Taoist companions who have supported each other for many years, Huang Siyuan also felt the loss in Song Qingming's heart when she learned that Song Qingming and Feng He had been close friends for many years.

But she still didn't say much, just listened quietly to Song Qingming's story.

It was not until Song Qingming suddenly fell silent that Huang Siyuan took the initiative to raise her glass and drink it all with him.

After telling Huang Siyuan the story between himself and Feng He, Song Qingming felt a little better.

As night fell, Huang Siyuan also got up and returned to the next cave to start meditating in seclusion.

After closing the door, Song Qingming did not rush to practice, but took out the "White Crane Puppet Beast" he got during the day. The "White Crane Puppet Beast" in Song Qingming's hand was a fourth-level low-grade puppet beast specially refined by Feng He in order to seek revenge on Qiu Daoping.

In the world of cultivating immortals, "puppet beasts" above level four are extremely rare.

If this "White Crane Puppet Beast" were to be auctioned at a trade fair, its value would be higher than that of ordinary magic weapons of the same level, and would probably not be less than 200,000 spirit stones.

According to Feng He's letter and Song Yuanli's explanation, this "White Crane Puppet Beast" was specially left for himself to thank Song Qingming for his future support to "Luomae Valley" and Song Yuanli and others.

Although Song Qingming was born in the immortal cultivation world of the "Floating Cloud Mountains", he did not have much affection for the "Luomae Valley" sect.

But now Song Yuanli is the head and leads the entire "Luomae Valley".

Even if Feng He had not left this generous gift, Song Qingming would not have been able to ignore Song Yuanli and the others in the future.

If they really encounter any difficulties, Song Qingming will definitely find a way to help them.

However, Feng He didn't like to owe favors to others. Since he wanted to entrust Song Qingming with something, he would definitely accept this generous gift.

After taking out the "White Crane Puppet Beast", Song Qingming looked at it carefully for a moment, then cast a spell and took out a green talisman from the storage bag.

Then Song Qingming quickly cast a spell with both hands, and soon a ray of light shot out from the green talisman, directly covering the "White Crane Puppet Beast" in mid-air.

As the green spiritual light continued to flash rapidly, after a while, a ball of purple light floated out from the "White Crane Puppet Beast" and then directly attached to the "green spiritual talisman" in front of Song Qingming.

The green talisman in Song Qingming's hand is a high-level talisman that can seal the essence, blood, and soul of a cultivator or a monster.

After sucking out a trace of essence and blood from the "White Crane Puppet Beast", Song Qingming successfully removed the restrictions left by Feng He on it, and a ball of purple light appeared on the "Green Talisman" in his hand.

Even though Feng He had died long ago, a wisp of his spiritual consciousness was still left in the imprint of his essence and blood in the "White Crane Puppet Beast".

After thinking for a moment, Song Qingming still did not choose to destroy the remnant soul of Feng He, but carefully put it away.

Although he does not have the ability to bring the dead back to life now, if he really ascends to the upper realm one day in the future, he may be able to find some secret method of reversing reincarnation.

By then, this remnant soul might really come in handy.

After putting away the "Green Talisman", Song Qingming comforted himself in his heart and then shifted his attention back to the "White Crane Puppet Beast" in the air.

Although I didn't get to meet my old friend Feng He, I felt a little regretful.

However, Song Qingming unexpectedly obtained a fourth-grade low-grade "puppet beast" this time. He did not expect that he could have such a great gain on this trip to the "Tianhai Immortal Cultivation World".

Next, he would also refine this puppet beast into his own “Puppet Array”, and the power of the “Ten Thousand Spirits Puppet Array” would immediately increase significantly.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel a little excited again.

After preparing for the spell, Song Qingming quickly forced a drop of blood from his body and imprinted it directly into the "White Crane Puppet Beast" in front of him.

The next moment, as Song Qingming made a seal in his hand, a burst of white light suddenly emanated from the "White Crane Puppet Beast".

Under his spell control, the size of the puppet beast instantly increased more than ten times, and then the "White Crane Puppet Beast" spread its wings and flew in front of Song Qingming.

Feeling the powerful pressure emanating from the puppet beast in front of him, a hint of satisfaction appeared on Song Qingming's face.

After taking a careful look, just as Song Qingming was about to take back the puppet beast in front of him, he suddenly felt a hint of strange spiritual energy on the "White Crane Puppet Beast", which made him frown slightly.

He stepped on the void and came in front of the "White Crane Puppet Beast". He released his spiritual sense again and scanned the puppet beast at close range. Song Qingming quickly locked his spiritual sense into the belly of the "White Crane Puppet Beast".

Next, with Song Qingming's move of one hand, a crisp "ding-dang!" sound suddenly came from the "White Crane Puppet Beast".

Soon, a green light flew out from the mouth of the "White Crane Puppet Beast" and fell into Song Qingming's hands.

"Hey! What is this?"

Seeing the very ancient green bronze plate in his hand, Song Qingming's face suddenly showed a bit of confusion. He didn't know what this thing was.

Song Qingming had already confirmed before that the remaining restrictions on the "White Crane Puppet Beast" were set up by Feng He himself, and Song Yuanli and his team had never sacrificed this "puppet beast".

In other words, this "bronze token" was hidden by Feng He in the belly of the "White Crane Puppet Beast".

The spiritual object that Feng He could treasure so carefully must not be an ordinary thing.

However, after Song Qingming looked carefully, he still couldn't figure out what the "bronze token" in his hand was, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, Song Qingming, who was still confused, immediately cast a spell to confirm it and found that this thing was just as he guessed, not an ordinary magic weapon.

There were many ancient runes engraved on the "bronze token", which made Song Qingming feel inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen similar runes somewhere.

However, as a high-level formation master, Song Qingming has seen too many different kinds of runes while learning the art of formation over the years.

In desperation, Song Qingming could only stand there holding the token and recalling and thinking.

After a while, Song Qingming suddenly had a trace of memory in his mind. He quickly cast a spell and took out a "Green Jade Plate" from his storage bag.

This "emerald green jade plate" was what Senior Sister Li Xuanyi accidentally obtained from "Lei Yuanhai".

Later, Li Xuanyi gave this item to Song Qingming and only took away the set of "Puppet Skills" engraved inside.

After putting the "Green Jade Plate" in his hand and the "Bronze Token" he just obtained together.

Song Qingming then discovered that the runes engraved on the two objects were somewhat similar in shape, as if they were from the same era.

"Could this thing be the Mysterious World Heavenly Book that Senior Feng He once mentioned?"

Seeing the two things in his hands, he found that they were strangely similar. For a moment, Song Qingming suddenly recalled the reminder that "Qu Bai" had given him.

The so-called "Xuanjie Heavenly Book" refers to some special spiritual objects engraved with high-level skills that were passed down from the upper realm in ancient times.

It is rumored that the rune techniques engraved in the "Xuanjie Heavenly Book" are extremely mysterious. Many cultivators can greatly improve their cultivation after comprehending and practicing them, and some can even achieve sudden enlightenment and break through their own realm.

However, after these heavenly books were introduced into the lower world, many of them have been lost.

Most of those that remain in this world are controlled by the top sects in the world of immortal cultivation. This is the first time that Song Qingming has actually seen this thing after practicing for so many years.

If it really is something like the "Xuanjie Heavenly Book" passed down from the upper realm, then if the "Green Jade Plate" in his hand were seen by others, it might really bring them fatal disaster.

Thinking of how Qiu Daoping had teamed up with outsiders to murder his fellow brother in order to obtain the "Xuanjie Heavenly Book" in Feng He's hands, Song Qingming also felt a little scared.

Fortunately, when Senior Sister Li Xuanyi got the "Green Jade Plate", she told him about it. Apart from Qu Bai, no one else should know that he had this thing.

In the past, the "Luomae Valley" was degraded from a Nascent Soul Sect to an ordinary Golden Core Sect today due to the infighting among fellow disciples.

The reason for all this was actually just for the "Xuanjie Heavenly Book" in his hand, and no one knew what the mysterious thing was.

After thinking for a moment, Song Qingming immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and placed his spiritual consciousness directly on the "bronze token" in his hand.

As expected by Song Qingming, Song Qingming, whose spiritual consciousness had just covered the "bronze token", soon entered into a void directly like the other "green jade plate" at the beginning.

Not long after, Song Qingming's spiritual consciousness came to a very similar stone tablet and saw an ancient martial arts technique engraved on it.

It was not until half an incense stick of time had passed that Song Qingming withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the "bronze token", and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

"It really is the "Mysterious World Book". Senior Feng He deliberately left this item in the puppet beast's body. Could it be that he left it specially for me?"

Before killing Qiu Daoping, Feng He and Song Qingming only mentioned the matter of "Xuanjie Heavenly Book" and did not tell Song Qingming about it in detail.

After beheading Qiu Daoping, Song Qingming never asked him whether he had retrieved the Heavenly Book.

Therefore, Song Qingming was not quite sure about what he had in his hand at first. It was not until he discovered the skills hidden in the heavenly book that he slowly confirmed his guess.

Through the investigation just now, Song Qingming also discovered a very mysterious high-level skill in the "Bronze Token".

However, compared with the puppet skills seen in the "Green Jade Plate" before, the skills in this "Xuanjie Heavenly Book" are more useful. It records a very powerful fire-attributed flame magical power.

The many skills recorded in this heavenly book have various and different effects.

But the focus is not on the skills recorded in it, but the special insights and magical powers hidden in the stone tablet skills runes, which can greatly help cultivators increase and improve their understanding of cultivation.

Song Qingming just studied it carefully for a while and felt that he had gained a more mysterious understanding from it.

He had only been studying the Heavenly Book for a short time, so he was not able to fully comprehend what he saw in it for the time being. He needed to spend more time to study it slowly before he could put it to good use.

The special stone tablet with the "Yuxuan Sutra" that Song Qingming comprehended when he was in the "Taixu Gate" is actually somewhat similar to this.

However, according to the sect's records, the stone tablet was accidentally found by a sect ancestor while he was away.

Song Qingming had not heard his fellow disciples in the sect discuss whether it was the "Xuanjie Heavenly Book" or not, so he could not be sure about it.

After confirming that the object in his hand was the real "Xuanjie Heavenly Book", Song Qingming was shocked for a moment and could not help but stand there and think carefully.

You know, the two heavenly books in his hands are a great opportunity for him.

But at the same time, this is also something that can bring them fatal disasters at any time. (End of this chapter)
