Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

The third-level and above body-refining methods can achieve a powerful "combat body" after being cultivated to the great perfection realm. For example, Niu Dazhuang's [Nine-transformation Golden Body] has extremely strong defense and can withstand minor magical powers head-on, which is extremely impressive.

The "Five Beasts Body Tempering Art" practiced by Song Changsheng did not have a specific grade, but in terms of its exquisiteness it could definitely kill most body tempering methods in seconds.

But now that his five internal organs are in perfect condition, he still has not cultivated a combat body. This has been his long-standing question.

It was not until he broke through the Purple Mansion that he learned from Xiao Jiu that there was a second half to the "Five Beasts Body Tempering Art", which included the method of cultivating the combat body. If one wanted to cultivate it, one had to go through an extremely dangerous trial.

Originally, Song Changsheng was not fully prepared to deal with this trial, but in order to deal with the heavenly thunder tribulation, he had to advance his plan.

After all, he could afford to wait, but Song Qingyun couldn't.

Song Qingyun is ten years old this year. Although he has been following Song Xianming for the past two years, because his family does not have a mental method suitable for practicing the [Dream Body], Song Qingyun's practice speed is abnormally slow. He can only use medicinal baths to strengthen his body and consolidate his foundation.

For example, practicing magic, learning ancient characters, and understanding the various arts of cultivation.

Song Qingyun has outstanding comprehension. In just two years, his foundation has become very solid, and he ranks first among his peers.

However, no matter how good your foundation is, it will be useless without the right method of cultivation.

Two years have passed, and Song Qingyun's cultivation level is still lingering at the first level of Qi training, which is slower than the average cultivation speed of three spiritual roots, and does not match his talent at all.

With his qualifications, a two-year delay would not have much impact. His foundation is solid and he can catch up at any time. But if he continues like this, even the best of his talent will be wasted.

This is something Song Changsheng cannot accept.

Therefore, he set his sights on the "Miraculous Book of Creation", and with the help of Xiaojiu, he found a mental method called "The Great Dream and Illusion Art", which was created by a powerful person in ancient times. It was only slightly inferior to the "Yin Yang Mysterious Sutra" he practiced, and could perfectly fit Song Qingyun's [Dream Body].

In order to get Song Qingyun's cultivation back on track as soon as possible, Song Changsheng had to give it a try.

Xiaojiu was very efficient and quickly transferred the second half of "The Five Beasts Body Tempering Art" into Song Changsheng's mind.

After reading it carefully, Song Changsheng finally understood what the trial Xiaojiu meant.

It turned out that the scene he saw when he was practicing before was actually an illusory world constructed by the creator of "Five Beasts Body Tempering Art" using special means, into which were placed a trace of the residual souls of the five ferocious beasts: the Earth Dragon Emperor, the Red-eyed White Tiger, the Bifang, the Six-armed Demon Ape, and the One-horned Dragon.

Practitioners only need to use the corresponding "medium" to see the image of the corresponding ferocious beast's residual soul, and thus understand the body refining method of the corresponding ferocious beast.

This is the first half of "The Five Beasts Body Tempering Art", which mainly tests the practitioner's comprehension.

The content of the second half is much simpler. There is only one trial. As long as you can pass it, you can cultivate the [Five Beasts Combat Body].

The content of the trial is simpler. Apart from the process of starting the trial, there is only one sentence: defeat all the remaining souls of ferocious beasts.

Song Changsheng blinked, wondering if there was any inevitable connection between defeating the residual souls of these ferocious beasts and cultivating a combat body.

But he has always believed in one truth, that is, existence is reasonable.

He came to the retreat room and sat cross-legged on the cushion. He took out the five media, [Dragon Scale], [Monkey Heart], [Earth Dragon Pearl], [Bifang Feather], and [White Tiger Claw] one by one.

According to the methods recorded in the magic, Song Changsheng's hands created a series of afterimages and he performed some magic spells one by one.

The five mediums seemed to be pulled by some force, slowly floating to the side of Song Changsheng and rotating around him clockwise.

Gradually, their power merged into one and acted on Song Changsheng in turn.

Song Changsheng only felt that he was enveloped by a strange force. When he opened his eyes again, he had appeared on a barren plain.

He looked at the surrounding environment, then at himself, and said with enlightenment: "It turns out that this is a spiritual world constructed by my own spiritual power. No wonder those pictures are so clear and realistic."

"【Five Elements Creation Seal】." Song Changsheng whispered softly, and a jade seal instantly appeared in his hand. As soon as he picked it up, Song Changsheng found the problem.

What was in his hand was indeed the [Five Elements Creation Seal], but it was just a shell and there was no spirit in the weapon. In other words, it was just a product created by Song Changsheng's mental power and would not be of any help to him in the upcoming battle.

"Hmm... I can't sense the existence of mana, but the strength of this body is almost the same as outside. Do you want me to fight those ferocious beasts in close combat?"

Thinking of this, Song Changsheng's face turned a little dark. Who knows what level those ferocious beasts are in here? What if they are beaten to death?
"I don't know what effect death in my own spiritual world will have on my own soul." Song Changsheng muttered softly. This question was a bit beyond his scope as it was an area he had never understood before.

But you can tell with your toes that even if you don't die, the ending will not be good, otherwise Xiaojiu would not have said that this trial is very dangerous.

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake violently.

Song Changsheng subconsciously pulled back, and the next moment, an extremely sturdy earth dragon broke out of the ground. Its huge earth-yellow body was extremely oppressive.

"Earth Dragon King!" Song Changsheng looked a little solemn. The Earth Dragon King was fundamentally different from the earth dragons he had killed before. Not only did he possess powerful strength, he also had abnormal recovery abilities. To sum it up in one sentence: his health bar was very thick.

What comforted Song Changsheng a little was that although the aura emanating from the Earth Dragon King in front of him was powerful, it was not to the point where he could not defeat it.

"Roar--"

The Earth Dragon King twisted his huge body that was hundreds of feet long and opened his serrated mouth to attack.

Its body was extremely bloated, and its attack speed was as slow as a snail in Song Changsheng's eyes. Relying on his agility, he easily dodged its big mouth, then suddenly stomped his feet, and the whole person soared into the sky like an arrow and landed on the back of the Earth Dragon King.

He put his palm together like a knife and chopped down with all his strength.

Song Changsheng was very strong. This blow directly broke through the Earth Dragon King's tough skin, tearing a huge wound one foot long.

But this small wound was nothing to the Earth Dragon King. He rolled over violently and threw Song Changsheng down, then swung his tail like a dragon.

Song Changsheng escaped safely, but the small hills behind him were not so lucky. They were flattened and rocks flew everywhere.

"If you get hit by this, you will be seriously injured if not killed." Seeing this, Song Changsheng's face looked a little solemn.

Therefore, in the following battle, he fully utilized his advantage in speed and continuously bombarded the Earth Dragon King.

But what made Song Changsheng despair was that the Earth Dragon King's recovery ability was so incredible that the injuries caused would be healed in no time.

In this situation, there are generally only two ways, either to kill it with a powerful attack, or to exhaust it to death. However, both methods are difficult for Song Changsheng, after all, he cannot use his magic power and has no magic weapon to use.

"I really underestimated the difficulty of this trial. Now I am helpless against just one Earth Dragon King." Song Changsheng looked at the injuries he had caused healing again, and a bitter smile suddenly appeared on his face.

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind and he thought of a way to break the deadlock.

The power of the Earth Dragon King comes from its special spine. As long as its spine can be pulled out, the Earth Dragon King will be like a fish on the chopping board, at his mercy.

Song Changsheng did it right away. He quickly dodged and got on the back of the Earth Dragon King. He used his legs to stabilize himself. Finally, he suddenly inserted his hands into it and tore its flesh and blood apart.

At first, the Earth Dragon Emperor didn't care. He just kept performing the "Death Roll", trying to crush Song Changsheng into a meat patty or throw him out.

Unexpectedly, Song Changsheng clung to it like a leech, and was not moved at all. Instead, he roughly tore off the flesh and blood on its back piece by piece, and soon formed a groove.

The recovery ability that the Earth Dragon Emperor was proud of was powerless in the face of such an injury in a short period of time.

Soon, the crystal white spine of the Earth Dragon King appeared in front of Song Changsheng.

It was obviously unrealistic to pull out such a long spine in one breath, so Song Changsheng injected all his strength into his right arm and smashed it down at the spine.

"click"

The spine broke with a sound.

"Roar--"

The pain of broken spine made the Earth Dragon King howl in agony. It contracted its muscles with all its might, trying to squeeze Song Changsheng to death.

But it was all in vain. Relying solely on physical strength, it could do nothing to Song Changsheng in this situation.

The broken spine brought the Earth Dragon King to his doom, and he was eventually consumed by Song Changsheng bit by bit.

At the moment the Earth Dragon Emperor died, his huge body turned into a beam of light and sank into Song Changsheng's body.

The injuries Song Changsheng suffered in the previous battle began to recover visibly, at a speed much faster than before.

"Have I... gained the recovery ability of the Earth Dragon Emperor?" Looking at the wound on his hand that had disappeared, a hint of joy suddenly flashed in Song Changsheng's eyes. He finally understood the connection between this trial and the combat body.

The significance of the combat body is that it can make the body cultivator stronger, faster, and more durable.

Recovery speed is also the key to endurance. If nothing goes wrong, he should be able to gain some improvements by defeating other ferocious beasts.

Without giving Song Changsheng much time to think, a Bifang bird covered in flames appeared in Song Changsheng's sight.

The Bifang was shaped like a white crane, with red feathers in green, and only one foot. Wherever it passed, wildfires broke out. Soon, Song Changsheng was enveloped in a sea of ​​fire.

The Bifang bird flapped its wings and looked down at him with an icy gaze.

"Mystical beast Bifang? Let me see what your power is." Song Changsheng stamped his feet and rushed forward suddenly...

While Song Changsheng was facing the trial, Zhuang Yuechan, who was far away in the Gusu cultivation world, encountered the greatest crisis of her life.

Things have to start a few years ago.

Before Song Changsheng went into seclusion to break through the Purple Mansion, Zhuang Yuechan went to Gusu's cultivation world for training under the arrangement of the city lord.

Zhuang Yuechan set out from the border state of Da Qi, passed through Lingzhou, Qingzhou, Xizhou, and Mengzhou, and it took her a year to enter the Gusu cultivation world.

At first, Zhuang Yuechan settled in a city of cultivation and took on some commissions to exorcise demons as a casual cultivator. Everything went smoothly in the beginning. One actual combat after another enriched Zhuang Yuechan's fighting experience, and her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. It took her only more than two years to reach the threshold of perfection in foundation building.

She also received the news that Song Changsheng had successfully broken through to the Purple Mansion. Zhuang Yuechan was overjoyed and decided to take on a few more commissions, break through to the foundation-building stage as soon as possible, and then return to Luoxia City.

Just three months ago, she accepted a private commission from a small cultivation family, saying that an evil demon in the Foundation Establishment Stage was causing chaos and killing many of their cultivators, and they hoped that Zhuang Yuechan could come forward to subdue the demon.

Zhuang Yuechan didn't think much about it, she accepted the commission and went there. Unexpectedly, she was surrounded and attacked by the Blood Demon Cult. Zhuang Yuechan never expected to encounter the Blood Demon here, let alone the other party was so well prepared. She fell directly into the trap carefully designed by the other party.

Fortunately, she had a lot of life-saving items on her, and after a fierce battle, Zhuang Yuechan fought her way out of the siege.

But those blood demons refused to let her go and followed her all the way. Zhuang Yuechan fought and retreated, fleeing for thousands of miles, and finally entered a city controlled by the Purple Mansion forces in the Gusu cultivation world, where she was able to escape.

Zhuang Yuechan was worried that the blood demons were still determined to do this, so she chose to stay in the city to heal her wounds and practice at the same time.

Because of this bloody battle, Zhuang Yuechan survived a desperate situation and stimulated her own potential. Not long after, she successfully broke through to the great perfection of foundation building.

At this time, she had been in the city for two months and had completed Mu Guibai's training mission.

Zhuang Yuechan was eager to return home, so she immediately planned to go back to the Da Qi cultivation world. However, by chance, she obtained an extremely rare golden spiritual object.

Originally this was a great opportunity, but the bad thing was that there were quite a few witnesses at the time.

This is the treasure needed to break through the golden elixir stage. The moment the news spread, Zhuang Yuechan was hunted endlessly.

Not only were there many Foundation Establishment cultivators, but there were also Purple Mansion cultivators who had heard the news and rushed over to participate.

No matter how strong Zhuang Yuechan was, she was only a foundation-building cultivator and was simply unable to fight against so many powerful men. She could only hide her body carefully and look for a chance to take a cross-domain flying boat back to the Da Qi cultivation world.

However, the weather was not good, and Zhuang Yuechan's whereabouts were exposed. She was once again surrounded and intercepted. In desperation, she had to send a message for help and return to the place where she got the spiritual object from heaven and earth, and she lost contact with her since then...

Song Changsheng, who was far away in Lingzhou, knew nothing about all this. After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the trial of "The Five Beasts Body Tempering Art" was coming to an end.

He only needs to defeat the ferocious one-horned dragon in front of him, and he will be able to obtain the method of practicing the [Five Beasts Combat Body].

"Since I can't break your armor, I will attack you from the inside!"

Song Changsheng made up his mind and rushed towards the bloody mouth of the unicorn dragon without fear... (End of this chapter)
