Chapter 571
Cheng Yuan
Jianxu's palm finally landed on the opponent's dantian, and with the powerful magic power gushing out, the dantian of the Tianjian Sect disciple was shattered, his meridians were severed, his cultivation was destroyed, and the whole person fell limply.
Although he saved his life, for a cultivator, losing his cultivation is no different from being dead.
"metropolitan……"
The Tianjian Sect cultivators were shocked by this sudden scene and didn't know why he suddenly killed all the disciples in the sect.
"This boy was tempted by the money and joined others in blocking the road and killing people. According to the sect rules, his cultivation should be abolished to serve as a warning to others. I hope you will take this as a warning."
Jianxu hid his slightly trembling hands behind his back and spoke in a cold tone.
Everyone then realized why the Tianjian Sect disciple was punished. To put it bluntly, he wanted to kill people and steal treasures, but not only did he fail, he also made a big fuss and it was a very ugly one.
As for killing people and stealing treasures, how many gangsters haven’t done it?
Even when exploring the underground mausoleum this time, there were also people who attacked monks from other sects or even from the same sect for the sake of treasures. As long as this kind of thing was not brought to the surface, everyone would turn a blind eye and pretend nothing happened.
Everyone mourned for this unfortunate fellow in their hearts for a few seconds, and then they all bowed and said, "The Sect Master is wise!"
But these words sounded a bit harsh to Jianxu's ears.
"Clan leader Song, are you satisfied with this?" Jianxu turned around and looked at Song Changsheng, asking indifferently.
Song Changsheng raised his eyelids slightly, and said indifferently: "The Tianjian Sect is worthy of being the orthodox sect of swordsmanship, and the Sword Sect Master is worthy of being the disciple of the Wushuang Sect Master. The sect rules are strict and no one is pardoned for their crimes. This is admirable."
Even more piercing...
Jianxu's face was cold, and he said indifferently: "We are going to discuss how to develop this small world. It is a secret, and those who are not involved can leave first. What do you think, Patriarch Song?"
As an "independent person", Song Changsheng did not show any sign of being angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Of course, but before that, I have a few more words to say to my uncle. You should not be in a hurry, right?"
Old Ghost Bai said with a smile: "In fact, it's okay for Brother Song to stay and listen. It's not a big deal anyway."
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Bai, but forget it. Song is still very self-aware."
Song Changsheng smiled and bowed, then walked to Shen Qingxiu's side and said, "Two people from the Song family died in the underground mausoleum this time, and no bodies were found. I hope Uncle Master can help keep an eye out for them in future explorations."
"Strictly speaking, they also sacrificed themselves for Luoxia. Don't worry, Luoxia City has an obligation in this matter. I will instruct my disciples to pay attention to it and notify you immediately as soon as there is any news." Shen Qingxiu responded seriously.
“Besides this, disciple has one more thing that I need to trouble you with, uncle.
If possible, I hope that Uncle Master can try his best to get the two portals in the Lost Pearl World that are used to stabilize the space corridor for me.
You also know that the Song family has a shallow foundation, and there is still a gap in this area that needs to be filled."
He was telling the truth, and Shen Qingxiu didn't think much about it. She nodded and said generously, "Don't worry, this is a small matter.
Even if you can't get them, you can go to Dingyuan City to find your second uncle and ask him to refine a pair for you."
Luoxia City had mastered the same technology hundreds of years ago, so it was not a big deal at all.
Song Changsheng couldn't help but smile and chuckled, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Master. I'll take my leave first. When you return to Luoxia City, I'll come to see you in person."
"Well, you go ahead." Shen Qingxiu nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Lian Siyu who was standing beside him and said, "Siyu, please send your Senior Brother Zixu and the elders off on my behalf."
"Disciple obeys." Lian Siyu hurriedly accepted the order.
"Thank you, junior sister."
Because he still needed to take the space teleportation array of Luoxia City back, Song Changsheng did not refuse. He bowed to the old ghost Bai who was not far away and said, "Elder Bai, I will take my leave first. Please ask Elder Bai to greet Master Wu Tian and Master Bai on my behalf after you return to the sect."
"I will definitely bring it to you." Old Bai smiled and bowed in return. He knew that his goal had been achieved.
Under the cold gazes of the Tianjian Sect's cultivators, Song Changsheng and the others walked out of the cave. Yuan Tianshu couldn't help but sigh, "It has finally come to this. I didn't expect that after the departure of Wushuang Sect Master, the Tianjian Sect would fall so fast."
When the sword enlightenment monument was still in the Tianjian Sect, most of the sword practitioners in the Da Qi cultivation world and even in several surrounding cultivation worlds had gone to the Tianjian Sect to gain enlightenment and received the Tianjian Sect's favor.
Yuan Tianshu comes from the Jiulong Mountain sword cultivation lineage and has his own system. He was once in competition with the Tianjian Sect, but he has never tried to comprehend the sword monument.
However, Yuan Tianshu and the former leader of the Tianjian Sect, Jian Wushuang, had met each other more than once. When the two of them sat down to discuss swordsmanship, Jian Wushuang left a deep impression on him and made him admire him very much.
When he learned that Jian Wushuang had passed away, he personally went to Wanjian Mountain to pay his respects.
However, I didn’t expect that in just over a decade, the Tianjian Sect had changed.
In the past, Yuan Tianshu felt that the Tianjian Sect had hope of re-emergence, but when he saw it today, he realized that the Tianjian Sect had been rotten from the root.
Jiulong Mountain, one of the two major sword sects in the former Da Qi cultivation world, has fallen apart, leaving only him alone to guard the former mountain gate.
Now, the Tianjian Sect is likely to follow the old path of Jiulong Mountain, which is a bit sad for the moment.
More importantly, the Tianjian Sect and the Song family became enemies.
He has always witnessed the progress and development of the Song family over the years. The upper level is enterprising and the lower level is full of talents. Such achievements have been made in just a few decades.
He had a premonition that within a hundred years, the Song family might replace the Tianjian Sect's current position, and by then, a fight between the two sides would be inevitable.
Regardless of whether they win or lose, the decline of the Tianjian Sect is inevitable.
Yuan Tianshu was just a little sad about the future of Tianjian Sect, but he didn't expect that this touched Song Youlin. He stood up and apologized to everyone, saying, "It's all my fault that I'm not strong enough to handle this matter. Not only did I trouble the elders to go to the foreign land, but I also put my family and Tianjian Sect on opposite sides."
"What are you doing? They are wrong, not you." Song Xianming waved his sleeves lightly, and an invisible force lifted Song Youlin up.
Song Changsheng also nodded and said, "Yes, if we have to blame anyone for this, it's the Tianjian Sect that went too far.
In addition, friction between the Tianjian Sect and the Song family will occur sooner or later. This incident only brings this process forward. What does it have to do with you?
Besides, if you hadn't mistakenly entered this valley, how could the family have achieved what it has today? Not only are you innocent, you are also a hero to the family."
Lian Siyu, who was standing by, smiled softly and said, "I really have to thank this little brother. What I have gained in the past few days is much greater than what I gained in the Blood Ruins Realm.
Such an opportunity may not come once in hundreds of years."
Hearing everyone's comfort, Song Youlin's guilt was slightly alleviated, but he also secretly swore in his heart that he would work harder and improve his cultivation after returning.
In his opinion, everything that happened today was because his cultivation was too shallow, otherwise there would be no need for his family to stand up for him.
Song Changsheng turned around and looked at the Song family cultivators. He said excitedly, "In this world, there are always things that are beyond your current capabilities. At this time, you must remember one sentence: the family is behind you. The family is your most solid backing. This is the biggest difference between you and the independent cultivators!"
Hearing this, everyone was deeply touched, and an inexplicable emotion fermented in their hearts.
Yes, with the family as their backing, what is there to be afraid of...
Everyone returned via the space teleportation array of Luoxia City. Song Changsheng did not stay in Luoxia City, but returned directly to Cangmang Peak via the space teleportation array of Wangyue Pavilion.
The first thing Song Changsheng did after returning to his family was to collect all the seal fragments in everyone's hands.
There were few of them, and the fragments they collected were not many, only eighteen pieces, many of which were only the size of a fingernail. Song Youfu's piece was as big as a pigeon egg, and it stood out among the pile of fragments.
Song Changsheng picked out the fragments with golden characters and tried to piece together a complete character.
If you want to determine the nature of a seal, the most intuitive method is to look at the "negative text" engraved on the bottom of the seal.
After some arrangement and attempts, Song Changsheng finally managed to spell out a relatively complete character.
Looking at the characters of different styles, Song Xianming frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "It is not any of the mainstream ancient characters."
Song Qingxing and other senior family members were also at a loss. They couldn't even determine from which period the text came.
Song Changsheng was also somewhat at a loss, and finally could only place his hopes on the "Magic Book of Creation" to see if he could find the answer from it.
Xiaojiu was reliable and quickly pointed out that this was a type of writing from the ancient times, created by the ancestors of the human race after they comprehended the great Dao.
It is similar to the word "Tao" that Song Changsheng realized when he peeked into the way of heaven.
Although this kind of writing has been created, it is not something that ordinary cultivators can use because it secretly conforms to the rhyme of heaven and earth. Therefore, it has only been circulated in a small range among the upper class of human society.
This point can correspond to the [Imperial Seal].
Given the Song family's background, it is normal that they cannot recognize him.
To be precise, there are only a few people in the entire Da Qi cultivation world who can recognize it.
Xiaojiu was naturally not among them. It told Song Changsheng that the character he spelled out corresponded to the modern word "将". In addition, the seal had a tiger button instead of a dragon button, which completely ruled out the possibility that it was the [Imperial Seal].
"This is most likely a 'general seal' or 'commander seal', which is usually held by generals of the Immortal Dynasty. It is not only a symbol of the general's status, but also serves as a tiger talisman, which can be used to mobilize troops."
Hearing this, Song Changsheng suddenly realized that if this was the case, then it could explain why those living puppet soldiers were affected by this seal.
Although this seal is also a treasure comparable to a top-grade magic weapon, it is still far inferior to the [Imperial Seal]. It is extremely normal for it to break when the force applied by the outside world exceeds the critical point.
"Since this is a general's seal, then... where is the [Imperial Seal]? Is it really buried in that underground mausoleum?" Song Changsheng frowned slightly.
Although he had freed the Song family from that quagmire, the final ownership of the [Imperial Seal] was also very important to the Song family.
The first choice is naturally Luoxia City, which is the most favorable situation for the Song family.
It might not be a bad idea for it to fall into the hands of the Tianjian Sect. He did not think that the Tianjian Sect had the ability to use the power of the [Imperial Seal]. In the end, it might even eliminate a great disaster for the Song family.
The worst case scenario is that it falls into the hands of the Tianmai Sect, because that will lead to the current balance of the Da Qi cultivation world being broken, and the Song family will also be greatly affected.
"It would be best if none of you gets it." Song Changsheng thought secretly in his heart.
"Changsheng, have you got any idea?" Seeing that Song Changsheng seemed to be thinking about something, Song Xianming couldn't help but ask.
"No, but this item is most likely not the legendary [Imperial Seal]. When the time comes, hand it all over to Luoxia City."
Song Changsheng chose to conceal it. It would be of no benefit for them to know these things. Instead, it would make them get to the bottom of it.
"Hand them all over? Shouldn't we keep some for ourselves?" Song Luzhou had some doubts in his heart.
"All of it, even if it's complete, is of no use to us, let alone a few fragments?"
"That's right." After thinking about it, it was indeed the case, so Song Luzhou didn't say anything more.
At this time, Song Qingxing also took out the ancient sword he had obtained from the pyramid.
On the way back, Song Qingxi had already explained the origin of this sword to Song Changsheng in detail, so he was not surprised. He picked up the ancient sword and looked at it carefully. Even he could not tell the material of the sword. He could only judge that it was an alloy made of a mixture of multiple metals.
"This sword is so strange." Song Xianming was also very surprised. This underground mausoleum had given them too many surprises.
"There are words on it, and they are somewhat similar to those on the seal." Song Luzhou said, pointing to the characters on the sword.
"Xiaojiu, do you know these words?"
In desperation, Song Changsheng had to continue asking Xiaojiu for help.
"The name of the sword is [Chengyuan]." Xiaojiu said concisely.
"【Chengyuan】?"
Song Changsheng frowned slightly. He had never heard of such a sword.
This sword is also not recorded in the "Miraculous Book of Creation", which shows that this sword was either not famous at all at the time or it was a product of later generations.
Song Changsheng felt that these two possibilities might exist at the same time.
This is a bit difficult to handle.
Song Qingxi suddenly thought of the books they brought out from the library, and couldn't help but say, "Since this sword can be buried with the king, it must not be an ordinary magic weapon. It should be recorded in the books before."
Song Changsheng sighed faintly and said, "It seems that this is the only way."
