Yunmeng Immortal Clan

On Qingsui Peak, inside Song Daoxuan's cave, in front of a stone-built insect egg cultivation pool.

Song Daoxuan, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, was intently watching the insect eggs tremble slightly before him.

With a crisp crack, the black crystal-like insect egg suddenly burst open, and several pale black figures immediately emerged from the egg.

However, as soon as they hatched, most of them died, and only four survived in the end.

These four creatures were actually the demonic beasts that Song Daoxuan had spawned from the insect eggs he had collected from the lair of the Ink Poison Wolf Spider—the Ink Poison Wolf Spider cubs.

The four little creatures stared wide-eyed at Song Daoxuan. Upon seeing this, Song Daoxuan was overjoyed and immediately used his powers to leave so-called divine sense restrictions on the four little creatures.

In fact, Song Daoxuan didn't need to worry at all that the four black poison wolf spider cubs would betray him. After all, wild and untamed beasts like black poison wolf spiders would recognize the first human or demon they saw as their mother the moment they were born, and would be extremely loyal to them.

However, Song Daoxuan left some of his own restrictions on these black poison wolf spiders, intending to make them easier to control in the future.

The four black tarantulas were still juveniles, and in this state, they were difficult for Song Daoxuan to use; they needed further training.

Song Daoxuan took out some first-tier spiritual herbs from his storage bag and threw them to the four black poison wolf spiders in the cultivation pool. The four black poison wolf spider larvae immediately made squeaking noises, showing that they were extremely excited.

Song Daoxuan cannot refine the second-tier Spirit Feeding Pill yet. Otherwise, feeding the Ink Poison Wolf Spider cub in front of him with the Spirit Feeding Pill would accelerate the ink poison wolf spider cub's transformation into a first-tier peak demon beast.

Settle the black tarantula pups in place.

Song Daoxuan then calmed down and began to organize some of the things he had obtained from the soul search of Blood Wrath Maha.

Some of the cultivation methods practiced by Blood Wrath Maha are inconsistent with the Taoist cultivation methods practiced by Song Daoxuan, both of which require the killing of a large number of innocent people in order to cultivate.

This technique was naturally abandoned by Song Daoxuan, but the escape method of Blood Wrath Maha was superior to the Dangqiu Technique practiced by Song Daoxuan.

This escape technique is called the Bloodlight Escape.

It is a low-grade Xuan-level escape technique. When it is used to escape, the body is like a blood-red light, following like a shadow.

In times of extreme crisis for cultivators, they can burn their essence and blood to instantly increase their escape speed to several times that of cultivators of the same level.

Besides the Bloodlight Escape, Song Daoxuan was also quite interested in the Blood Demon Heartless Slash secret technique.

This technique seems to have originated from a Buddhist practice, but it deviates from the norm.

This technique cannot be classified as a general spell. The extent to which it can be unleashed depends on the cultivator's cultivation level. However, as long as there is enough blood energy to refine it, the power of the Blood Demon Heartless Slash will greatly increase.

The key is that the Blood Demon Heartless Slash Flying Blade, condensed from magical power, can be thrown out at any time to kill enemies.

Besides these two spells, Song Daoxuan discovered another technique called the Thousand Threads Binding Technique in Xue Nu Mo He's memories. To refine this technique, one would need to use some spiritual silkworm silk from the cultivation world as the main component.

However, when Song Daoxuan was inside the ruins of Yuanqing Sanren's cave, besides the demon beast eggs of these black poison wolf spiders, there was also some spider silk. This kind of demon beast spider silk was not valued by the Foundation Establishment cultivators who were exploring the cave together.

However, it now appears that this silk is in no way inferior to the silk of some famous spirit silkworms in the cultivation world in terms of toughness.

Therefore, it should be feasible to use spider silk instead of the silkworm silk used in cultivating this method.

Song Daoxuan currently possesses sufficient offensive capabilities, but lacks adequate control abilities. This makes him even more eager to comprehend the Thousand Threads Binding Technique.

"Now I have so many things to do: first, to continue gathering Qi through the Qi Gourd every day; second, to cultivate diligently; third, to refine elixirs; and fourth, to comprehend these techniques..."

Just as Song Daoxuan was busy.

Three years have passed since the establishment of the largest cultivation sect in Yunmeng Immortal Continent, the Zhuxi Sect.

Inside a cave filled with spiritual energy, a young man in a jade robe and crown suddenly opened his eyes.

His breath surged forth, overflowing from his dantian.

"I've finally reached the seventh level of Qi Refining! The Earth Spirit Root really does allow for rapid cultivation. Even though I've cultivated the Profound Jade Technique, a special technique that suppresses my cultivation level, this speed of progress has truly exceeded my expectations!"

"I heard from the clan that Uncle Daoxuan has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. It's a pity that I happened to be in seclusion during this time, breaking through a crucial stage of my cultivation. Otherwise, I would have returned to the clan no matter what!"

The young man in the jade robe and crown before us is none other than Song Linyu, the son of Song Hongdong, who came from Qinglian Island, and is currently the only cultivator with the Earth Spirit Root on Qinglian Island.

Years later, under the tutelage of his master Liu Hanjun, Song Linyu has transformed from a wild and unruly boy into a well-mannered and knowledgeable young man.

Song Linyu has just emerged from seclusion.

There stood a handsome blue-robed cultivator at the entrance of the cave.

Song Linyu was also very familiar with this blue-robed cultivator. Over the past few years, Liu Hanjun had given him some pills and cultivation resources, but since he couldn't give them directly, he had done so indirectly through this blue-robed cultivator.

This blue-robed cultivator was named Cheng Peng. He was Liu Hanjun's most trusted inner disciple, second only to Song Linyu, Liu Hanjun's true disciple.

He possesses the aptitude of three spiritual roots, which is naturally inferior to Song Linyu's aptitude of earth spiritual root. However, the aptitude of three spiritual roots is not considered bad, especially since he is highly regarded by Liu Hanjun. This person also has some talent in weapon crafting and array making.

This person's current cultivation level is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. In Liu Hanjun's view, as long as this person's Dao heart is stable, there is a slight chance that he will successfully form his core in the future.

Cheng Peng was quick-witted and had many opportunities to interact with Song Linyu. In addition, Cheng Peng also intended to befriend this true disciple whom his master favored greatly.

As these two spent more time together, they not only started talking more, but their relationship also deepened day by day.

"Junior Brother Song, you've finally come out of seclusion! I've been waiting for you!" Cheng Peng stretched and yawned.

"Senior Brother Cheng, is there anything else you want to tell me? But I've made it clear, put everything aside, I have to go back to the clan. After all, it's been so many years since I've been back, I'm afraid the people in the clan will miss me!" Song Linyu said somewhat irritably.

"Your return to the clan can wait. The entire sect is holding a grand gathering of heroes, open to all cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage. Master has specifically requested your participation. Junior brother, please come with me!"

"As for returning to your clan, let's wait until after the Heroes' Gathering. I'll go with you then. After all, you're a Qi Refining cultivator with an Earth Spirit Root, which might attract unwanted attention!"
