Breaking Boundary Ancestral Tree, Jing Yun Forms Core
Chapter 1064 Breaking Boundary Ancestral Tree, Jing Yun Forms Core
The Qiyun Immortal Cultivation Realm is located in the western part of the "Eastern Phoenix Kingdom," separated from the two by a vast canyon that stretches tens of thousands of miles from north to south.
This place is surrounded by the "Falling Star Sea" to the southeast and borders the "Northern Frontier Demon Clan" to the north. Like the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, it is a small, semi-independent cultivation world.
However, the territory of the "Qiyun Immortal Cultivation World" is several times larger than that of the Fuyun Mountain Range, and the number of cultivators within its borders is also much greater, with more than a dozen forces at the Nascent Soul stage or above.
The "Qiyun Immortal Cultivation World" is located in the northwestern mountains.
On this day, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the clear, sunny sky, followed by the gathering of dark clouds and the sound of thunder and lightning.
Inside the cave beneath the dark clouds, a young man dressed in black robes was casting a spell with his eyes closed, his head covered by a thick layer of black spiritual light.
Outside the cave, in mid-air, three figures were staring intently at the strange phenomena in the sky and earth.
"It seems he has reached the final stage. This kid did not waste the True Demon Qi in my hands. He actually succeeded in reaching this stage on his first attempt at breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"Hehe! I've passed on my Crimson Demon Technique to him, along with your True Demon Qi. If he still can't successfully form a Nascent Soul, then he'll truly disappoint me."
Upon hearing the question from the woman in purple in the middle, the man in red robes standing on the right immediately responded with a smile, his gaze towards the sky filled with anticipation.
Seeing the confident expression on the red-robed man's face, the woman in purple pondered for a moment before continuing:
"By the way, let me ask you one more question: do you still intend to seize this body? It's about to undergo its tribulation, and its primordial spirit is at its weakest."
"Wouldn't it be much more efficient to act now? Why haven't you made any preparations?"
Seeing the woman in purple looking at him with a hint of doubt, the man in red immediately shook his head and said:
"Hehe! There's no rush. This kid hasn't mastered my Crimson Demon Technique yet. If he tries to seize this body now, he'll probably have a hard time perfectly merging with my primordial spirit."
Even if I manage to return to the Holy Realm, I will inevitably be affected and unable to exert much of my strength. It's better to wait until he has mastered his cultivation technique before taking action!
I've put a lot of effort into this kid, so I can't just waste it.
"Don't worry, I can still use this body for a while longer, it won't delay your plan to return to the Holy Realm."
Upon hearing the red-robed man's reply, the woman in purple glanced at him and was about to say something when she suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the distant void.
Two streaks of light suddenly flew in this direction from the horizon, as if other cultivators had discovered the strange phenomenon in the sky.
Seeing this, the woman in purple showed no surprise, but simply nodded to the man in white beside her.
The next moment, the white-robed man vanished from his spot with a flash of light.
Two Golden Core cultivators, still in mid-air in the distance, suddenly sensed a flash of white light ahead, followed by a figure appearing in front of them.
"Who are you, and what has happened up ahead?"
When the two people in front of him asked him questions, the man in white did not intend to answer. Instead, he raised his hand and released a black spiritual light.
"Oh no, he's a demonic cultivator! Run!"
Sensing the powerful demonic energy suddenly emanating from the white-robed man, the two Golden Core cultivators were terrified and turned to flee into the distance.
Before they could run very far, a black light quickly caught up with them from behind, and soon two miserable screams rang out in mid-air.
"what."
Only after killing the two cultivators did the man in white carry their corpses and flash back to where he had just been.
"Those two brats from the Gale Wind Sect must have just happened to run into us while they were on patrol."
"Hmm, since these human cultivators have found this area, they've probably already discovered us. I don't think there's any need to keep hiding from them anymore."
"The Gale Wind Sect, let's start our plan with them!"
".."
Several months later, outside the gates of the Jade Spirit Sect.
A beam of light flew swiftly from afar and stopped directly at the entrance of the Jade Spirit Sect. Immediately afterward, a yellow-robed man with a very ugly expression clutched his chest and cast a spell to throw a "sound transmission talisman" into the mountain.
"A demonic calamity has appeared; we beseech all venerable ancestors to take action and vanquish the demon!"
The moment the "sound transmission talisman" entered the mountain gate, it quickly caused a sensation throughout the entire sacred mountain.
Half an hour later, in the main hall of the Jade Spirit Sect on the mountaintop, several Nascent Soul elders received the news and came out of their secluded caves.
As the strongest sect in the "Qiyun Immortal Cultivation World", the "Jade Spirit Sect" currently has eight Nascent Soul cultivators, and six of them have already gathered in the main hall.
The faces of all the Nascent Soul elders present showed a solemn expression.
As soon as an old man with white hair walked into the mountain gate, everyone rushed to greet him. The Nascent Soul Elder of the Jade Spirit Sect, who was standing at the front, hurriedly took out the letter he had just received.
"Sect Leader, something terrible has happened! A demonic calamity has suddenly erupted in the Northwest Black Cloud Mountains. Several sects in the vicinity have already fallen, and even the Spirit Mountain of the Gale Wind Sect has been trapped by demons."
This is a letter of appeal for help written by Fellow Daoist Yuan himself. The Gale Wind Sect is now on the verge of collapse!
"What? How could a demonic calamity suddenly erupt? What's going on? Could it be those old demons causing trouble again?"
Upon hearing the words "demonic calamity," Huang Gucheng, the sect leader of the Jade Spirit Sect, immediately changed his expression and asked in shock to confirm.
Compared to those sneaky and lurking demonic cultivators, the so-called demonic calamity is far more destructive than demonic cultivators. Almost every time it breaks out in the cultivation world, it will be a catastrophe for countless living beings in the surrounding area.
Upon hearing the terrifying news of a "demonic calamity," even the sect leader of Huanggu City frowned and hurriedly issued orders to everyone in the hall:
"The matter of the demonic calamity is urgent and concerns the safety of the entire cultivation world. If it gets out of control, I'm afraid most of our Qiyun cultivation world will be drawn into it."
Junior Brother Yuan and Junior Brother Qi, come with me to the Wuyun Mountains to investigate the situation.
"The rest of my fellow disciples, quickly contact other sects and come to discuss this matter together." After giving these instructions to the Nascent Soul elders in the main hall, Huang Gucheng quickly led the two of them away from the sect and headed northwest.
In a valley deep within the "Dark Cloud Mountains," a strange black aura wafted out from the valley and quickly spread outwards on the breeze.
High in the distance, a large gray bird happened to pass by and was quickly entangled by a strange black aura.
The next moment, the gray bird's originally black eyes quickly turned scarlet, and its whole body emitted a strange black aura.
Before long, the large bird emitting black smoke let out a few strange cries in mid-air, and then frantically plunged straight down.
Deep in the valley, on an altar, six figures stood before a towering tree tens of feet tall. Two of them were the man in red robes and the woman in purple from that day.
"Hahaha, so that's why you were so confident in opening the passage back to the Holy Realm. Turns out you found this thing."
"Hmph! In order to find this thing, I spent thousands of years and countless spiritual objects to finally cultivate this world-breaking ancestral tree."
If all goes well, we should be able to successfully return to the Holy Realm.
Seeing the red-robed man's surprised expression upon seeing the tree, the woman in purple immediately showed a hint of smugness.
"Regardless of whether this method will work or not, I admire you for thinking of using it to open a passage back to the Holy Realm."
If this attempt succeeds, upon returning to the Holy Realm, I will forever remember this kindness and follow your lead without question.”
"Okay! It's settled then."
Just as the woman in purple was speaking to the other party, a beam of light suddenly flew over from a distance and landed in her hand.
"Gentlemen, some guests have already arrived nearby. Let's hurry out and greet them!"
".."
As soon as the woman in purple finished speaking, the others around her turned their gazes toward her, and soon they all disappeared from the spot.
-
"Floating Cloud Mountain Range", Chiyun Mountain.
In front of a cave on the west side of the summit of "Red Cloud Mountain", Song Shaoyu, dressed in a green robe, stood with Wei Yunlong, Liu Yue and their fellow disciples standing beside him.
"Junior Brother Song, do not worry when you are building your foundation. You must guard your mind. Once you get through the tempering of your body, there will be nothing to worry about."
I believe that with my junior brother's talent, his Foundation Establishment will be a breeze, and nothing will go wrong.
"Hmm! Junior Brother is not even thirty years old yet, and he has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. His talent is no less than ours back then."
Even if you fail this time, with your senior uncle's support, reaching Foundation Establishment is only a matter of time. Don't feel pressured.
"Pah, pah, pah, what unlucky things are you saying, Second Senior Brother? Junior Brother will definitely succeed in Foundation Establishment this time, how could he possibly fail?"
Upon hearing her second senior brother Wei Yunlong's words, Liu Yue, who was standing to the side, seemed to recall her own failure to establish her foundation back then, and quickly interrupted him.
"Junior sister, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean that at all."
"Fellow senior brothers, Senior Sister Liu, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."
Hearing Liu Yue and the others patiently instructing him, Song Shaoyu nodded repeatedly, secretly making up his mind.
Just as everyone was talking, several streaks of light suddenly appeared in front of them; it was Song Qingyu and Song Qingming, the couple who had arrived.
"Shaoyu, this is the Foundation Establishment Pill that your master has prepared for you, as well as the Foundation Establishment experience written by our ancestor. Please accept it."
Remember, do not rush the Foundation Establishment process, and do not feel pressured just because you are my disciple.
"Disciple thanks Master, Ancestor!"
After receiving the Foundation Establishment Pill from Song Qingyu, Song Shaoyu bowed to everyone before turning and striding into his secluded cave.
Seeing Song Shaoyu's carefree demeanor, Song Qingming saw a trace of Song Xinyu from back then in him, and couldn't help but show a hint of relief.
"This child is more composed than we thought. It seems there shouldn't be any problems with his Foundation Establishment this time." "Hehe! Seventh Brother is right. He is, after all, my personal disciple. I have that much confidence."
Seeing Song Qingyu's confident demeanor, Song Qingming nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to his own disciples beside him.
"I've noticed that you guys seem to have a lot of free time lately, running down the mountain every few days. How's your cultivation of the techniques I passed on to you last time going?"
"Master."
Upon hearing Song Qingming's authoritative question, Wei Yunlong and the others, who had just been excited, instantly turned cold and hurriedly bowed their heads and clasped their hands in greeting.
“A few days ago, Jingyun successfully formed his core. You should all work harder in your cultivation, otherwise you might not be able to catch up with him in the future.”
"What? Master, you said that Senior Brother has already formed his Core!"
"Really? Senior Brother has emerged from seclusion?"
".."
Upon hearing what Song Qingming said, Wei Yunlong, Liu Yue, and the others looked up, staring at Song Qingming in disbelief, their faces showing barely concealed surprise.
Then Song Qingming smiled and nodded to everyone.
"Jingyun successfully formed his core last month, but he is still consolidating his cultivation. So please don't disturb him for now."
"In two months, I will hold a Core Formation celebration for him at the foot of the mountain, and then you will be able to see him."
After Song Qingming gave his eldest disciple Bai Jingyun 40,000 merit points last time, Bai Jingyun and his wife Song Linyu went directly to "Guyang Mountain" to exchange for a Core Formation spiritual item.
After several years of seclusion to break through his cultivation level, Bai Jingyun finally succeeded in condensing his Golden Core last month, becoming a Golden Core cultivator.
Upon learning this news, Song Qingming, Huang Siyuan, and the others were all greatly gratified and decided to personally organize a Golden Core celebration for Bai Jingyun at "Chiyun Mountain" two months later.
When Bai Yunhua had Bai Jingyun become Song Qingming's disciple, he only thought that he could rely on Song Qingming's reputation as a Golden Core Ancestor and protect the Bai family's foundation after successfully establishing his foundation.
Unexpectedly, after Bai Jingyun left, he not only successfully established his foundation but also protected the Bai family left behind by Bai Yunhua.
With the help of Song Qingming's master, he successfully condensed his golden core and reached the Golden Core Path that even Bai Yunhua had failed to tread.
If Bai Yunhua could know this in the afterlife, and hear the news that Bai Jingyun had formed his Golden Core, he would probably be extremely proud of his descendant.
After giving instructions to his disciples, Song Qingming led Huang Siyuan and strolled along the mountain path beside them.
Five years have passed since Song Qingming returned from the East China Sea.
During this time, Huang Siyuan's injuries had been mostly healed thanks to the numerous spiritual objects and her secluded recuperation, and now there was little abnormality visible on her face.
In order to ease Huang Siyuan's mind about the failed Nascent Soul formation, Song Qingming has deliberately relaxed his secluded cultivation in recent years.
Whenever Huang Siyuan emerged from seclusion, he would make a point of taking time to accompany her on a tour around "Chiyun Mountain".
Now the two are walking on the familiar mountain path again, and some of the past moments seem to emerge from their memories like a scroll.
“My husband, I remember when we first moved to Chiyun Mountain, the mountain was full of pine trees and fallen rocks, and there wasn’t a single decent mountain path.”
So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Chiyun Mountain has changed so much.
"Look, I clearly remember there was nothing over there, how did a stone pavilion suddenly appear? I almost thought I was seeing things."
Hearing Huang Siyuan point to something, Song Qingming looked over and indeed found a stone pavilion on the mountain peak. He was slightly taken aback.
Before long, Song Qingming led Huang Siyuan around the mountain path to the stone pavilion, where they found the surrounding scenery to be beautiful, with clouds and mist swirling around, a rare masterpiece of mountain life.
"Hehe, this place is indeed beautiful. It's a pity that I didn't discover it after living in the mountains for so many years. I almost missed such a beautiful view."
After turning around in one spot and gazing at the beautiful scenery around him, Song Qingming couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
“My husband, there are so many beautiful sights in this world. If you only focus on what’s in front of you, you’ll naturally miss the scenery behind the mountain.”
Just like here, right in front of you, but if I hadn't forcibly pulled you over, how could you have seen such a beautiful view right at the foot of your own mountain?
You need to get out and about more often, instead of always trying to be with me. In the end, you'll only see the same scenery every time.
"As long as I can be with you, I don't mind seeing the same scenery as you."
The scenery remains the same, but time waits for no one. There are so many beautiful sights in this world; how could we possibly see them all?
I'm not that greedy in this life. Just being able to spend time with you, seeing a few more places, in my spare time from cultivation, would be enough for me.
Hearing Song Qingming's heartfelt reply, Huang Siyuan stopped herself from saying what she was about to say, and a smile appeared on her face instead.
".."
Just as Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were enjoying the beautiful scenery nearby, a five or six-year-old boy suddenly ran past them, interrupting their enjoyment of the view.
"Huh! Who are you...?"
"Father, there are people here!"
Before Huang Siyuan could step forward, the little boy suddenly called out behind him, and then two familiar figures appeared in front of Song Qingming and the other person.
"Greetings, Seventh Uncle, Ancestor!"
Looking at Song Yuanhao and Zhang Yurong, who were bowing to her, Huang Siyuan suddenly realized what was happening and asked with a smile, "This child, is he yours?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yurong nodded quickly, then pulled the little boy beside her forward and kowtowed to the two family elders again.
"Reporting to the Ancestor, Xuanxin's spiritual root has been detected, and we plan to send him to Mount Funiu for cultivation in the future."
"Hmm! Since he has spiritual roots, he should be included in the family genealogy. Just tell Yuanfang about this."
Upon hearing Song Yuanhao's answer, Song Qingming nodded slightly, then took out a protective jade from his "storage bag" and hung it on the still bewildered Song Xuanxin.
".."
As the sun set, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan sat together with Song Yuanhao's family in the stone pavilion, enjoying the unique sunset glow of "Chiyun Mountain".
With the presence of two high-ranking elders, Song Xuanxin, a child who had just been confirmed to have spiritual roots, immediately let loose and ran happily along the mountain path in the sunset.
As the sun set, everyone finally departed.
".."
Time flew by and two months later.
The already bustling "Red Cloud Mountain" has recently seen an even greater influx of visitors from afar, with the "teleportation array" located in the market area lighting up continuously from early morning.
These people came from all directions, all without exception, to attend the "Golden Elixir Celebration" that was about to be held on the mountain.
As Song Qingming's eldest disciple, Bai Jingyun finally achieved the Golden Core Dao after years of cultivation, becoming a highly respected Golden Core Ancestor in the eyes of many cultivators.
In order to make this celebration a success for his eldest disciple, Song Qingming not only used spirit stones to organize the event, but also presented Bai Jingyun with a magic weapon as a gift.
Even the invitations sent to the many cultivators were issued by Song Qingming in his own name, just so everyone could celebrate Bai Jingyun's birthday.
Besides the many cultivators who were in Chiyun Mountain, quite a few cultivators also came from the distant Wei Kingdom to congratulate the newly promoted Golden Core Ancestor of Chiyun Mountain.
This made Bai Jingyun's "Golden Core Celebration" very lively, no less so than that of other Golden Core elders of the "Free and Unfettered Sect".
Upon learning of Bai Jingyun's Core Formation, Xu Ziyan, the leader of the "Xiaoyao Sect," personally came to "Chiyun Mountain" to participate in the celebration.
In addition, Xu Ziyan also brought a token for a guest elder of the sect, which she personally handed to Bai Jingyun, announcing that he was being recruited as a guest elder of the "Xiaoyao Sect".
The entire "Red Cloud Mountain" was bustling for several days before gradually quieting down.
Because their own spiritual mountain veins are only of the second-level superior grade, which is insufficient for their own cultivation.
After Bai Jingyun achieved the Golden Core stage, he did not choose to return to "White Lion Ridge," but instead stayed at "Red Cloud Mountain" to cultivate alongside his master, Song Qingming.
Song Qingming then included him in the market's "enforcement team," adding another Golden Core warrior to the "Red Cloud Mountain" side.
Not long after the Golden Core Ceremony at "Red Cloud Mountain" ended, another figure appeared in the market from afar. It was none other than Long Ziyun, the elder of the "Four Seas Merchant Alliance" who had a good relationship with Song Qingming.
Upon learning that Long Ziyun had come to visit, Song Qingming hurriedly went down the mountain himself and invited her to the newly built "Huixianlou" on the mountaintop.
Upon meeting, Long Ziyun took out a wooden box from her person and placed it in front of Song Qingming. Inside were two shimmering silver orbs.
“Fellow Daoist Song, I heard that you need a Level 4 Earth Vein Pearl, but unfortunately I was short of stock a few years ago, which delayed the process.”
"Now that the alliance has found two of them in Lei Yuanhai, I brought them here directly."
"I am truly flattered that you would trouble yourself to come all this way for just two spirit pearls."
Upon seeing the two level-four "Earth Vein Beads" brought by Long Ziyun, Song Qingming quickly stood up to express his gratitude and then took out spirit stones from his person and handed them over to her.
“Fellow Daoist Long, your visit to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range this time must have been for more than just to deliver these two spiritual items to me, right?”
"If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask!"
