Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 366 Sky Thunder
"Roar--"

The unicorn dragon opened its bloody mouth, like a huge black hole, and swallowed Song Changsheng mercilessly.

After entering the mouth of the unicorn dragon, a gleam of light flashed in Song Changsheng's eyes, and the energy and blood in his body surged, and a surging breath burst out.

On his shoulder blades, a pair of illusory wings with green feathers and red spots appeared, burning with raging flames and releasing a fascinating high temperature.

Two thick black arms grew out on both sides of the body, each arm was filled with explosive power.

However, there was a golden sharp aura lingering around the fingertips of each hand.

The body of the unicorn dragon contains a very corrosive mist, which acts on Song Changsheng's body surface and makes a "sizzling" sound.

The epidermis continued to break and then repaired rapidly. The severe pain made Song Changsheng unable to help but roar in anger.

"break!"

Song Changsheng suddenly shouted loudly, and his six arms exerted force at the same time. His fingers wrapped in sharp golden energy easily tore the torso of the unicorn dragon.

"Ow—"

The unicorn dragon let out a mournful cry, blood splattered in the sky, and it fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Before it landed on the ground, its body turned into starlight and sank into Song Changsheng's body, and a layer of black scales that seemed real also climbed up Song Changsheng's skin.

At this point, he has absorbed all the abilities of the five residual souls and achieved the complete form of [Five Beasts Battle Body].

The Earth Dragon King gave him a repair ability that could be described as abnormal.

The Bifang bird gave him a pair of fire wings that could greatly increase his speed.

The six-armed demon ape gave him the powerful strength to split mountains and shatter cliffs.

What the red-eyed white tiger gave him was its unique sharp golden energy. Not only could it ignore the cultivator's body-protecting energy, but it could also invade the human body through the wounds and reach directly into the lungs, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

The last unicorn dragon is like putting a layer of scales on him, which improves his defense.

For Song Changsheng, this was a comprehensive improvement in defense, speed, and strength. After activating the [Five Beasts Combat Body], he was able to fight against the Purple Mansion cultivators with just his physical strength.

However, powerful strength means greater consumption. With Song Changsheng's current body cultivation level, he can only maintain it for one hour, which is a great pity.

Fortunately, this time will increase as Song Changsheng's cultivation level increases.

"call--"

Inside the retreat room, Song Changchang let out a long sigh and slowly opened his eyes. He felt extremely tired and his head felt as heavy as if it was filled with lead.

He knew that this was the result of excessive consumption of mental energy. After all, the entire trial was actually constructed by his mental power, and the consumption was quite terrifying.

If he delayed too long in the trial, his mental strength would be over-drained and his life might even be in danger.

This is why Xiaojiu said that participating in the trial would be dangerous.

Fortunately, Song Changsheng's soul was different from that of ordinary people. After the trial, he was just a little exhausted and had no other problems.

"Congratulations, master, for passing the trial and achieving a combat body." Xiaojiu's emotionless congratulations rang in Song Changsheng's ears.

“How long did it take me?”

"Less than thirteen hours."

"No wonder I feel drained." Song Changsheng shook his dizzy head and felt it was difficult to stand.

After decades of practice, he had never overloaded his mental power like this.

After practicing qigong and regulating his breathing for two days, Song Changsheng finally felt like he was alive again.

After a quick calculation, he found that there was still half a month before the Purple Mansion Ceremony, which was enough time for him to deal with the heavenly thunder calamity.

However, to be on the safe side, he needed to do one more thing.

He slowly opened his right hand, and the [Silver Dragon Mace] appeared in his palm. Watching it spinning in his palm, Song Changsheng said in a deep voice: "Silver Dragon, He Tai is dead, and you are free. If you submit to me, I can keep your sanity, otherwise, your soul will be scattered."

"Don't even think about it. I will never betray my master!" A silver dragon emerged and shouted at Song Changsheng.

Hearing this, Song Changsheng sighed quietly. Although he had known this would be the result, he still felt a little regretful.

"In that case, I will grant your wish."

Song Changsheng's palm covered it, and the spirit of the [Silver Dragon Mace] was wiped out with the surge of magic power.

The lower the level of the weapon spirit, the less independent consciousness it has, and the higher its loyalty is naturally.

On the contrary, people like Wu Jie, who are more intelligent, are more easily persuaded by words.

Without the spirit of the weapon, the value of the magic weapon was greatly reduced, but conversely, the difficulty of refining it was also reduced. It only took Song Changsheng three days to imprint his soul on it.

With an extra magical weapon at hand, my chances of surviving the thunder tribulation will be much better.

Song Changsheng returned to the courtyard and found Zhu Yiqun sitting on a recliner under a phoenix tree, leisurely eating a bunch of spiritual fruits similar to grapes. From time to time, heart-wrenching howls could be heard from the room on the left. The scene was so heartbreaking that anyone who heard it would cry.

"My son is suffering in there, but you are so relaxed." Song Changsheng rolled his eyes at Zhu Yiqun and said unhappily.

"Oh, I don't want to do this to my nephew, but you know that this is your grandfather's strong request, and I have no choice, right, brother?" Zhu Yiqun spat the fruit peel on the ground and said with a smile.

"At his current age, the medicinal bath you prepared won't be of much use, right?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yiqun sighed and said, "The effect is getting smaller and smaller, but there is nothing we can do about it. Without the right mental method and a solid foundation, this child will really be useless.

Tomorrow I will replace the withered grass with century-old strychnos nux vomica, and then replace the boneset with grass to enhance the medicinal properties, so that they can be used for a while longer.

I will try to find a new recipe later."

"Thank you for your hard work over the past two years. Let's put the medicinal bath aside for now. I have found a mental method suitable for Yun'er to practice." Song Changsheng said softly.

"Great, you have a way. I knew you had the confidence to reject Luoxia City."

Zhu Yiqun was overjoyed, turned his head and looked towards the room where Song Qingyun was, and said softly: "With the cultivation method, he won't have to suffer this pain in the future."

Over the past two years, he was the only one who knew best how much effort Song Qingyun had put in.

During the medicinal bath, she screamed louder and louder, but never backed down. She endured severe pain every day that even adults could hardly bear. Even Zhu Yiqun could not help but be moved.

"The suffering he endures today will be richly rewarded in the future." Song Changsheng said with a hard heart.

He reached out and gently pushed open the wooden door. What he saw was a bathtub that was half a person's height and ten feet long. Song Qingyun was naked, soaking in dark green medicinal liquid.

There was everything in the bathtub, including palm-sized poisonous scorpions, foot-long centipedes, and all kinds of insects, some poisonous and some non-poisonous, which made people's scalps tingle.

But Song Qingyun had already gotten used to it. He closed his eyes and tried hard to absorb the medicinal power in the tub. His little face turned red and sweat kept rolling into the tub.

He seemed to be unaware of Song Changsheng's presence, howling from time to time. In fact, this was just a way for him to vent. After two years, he had already gotten used to this level of pain. "Alright, get up." Song Changsheng waved his hand to take Song Qingyun's clothes and said softly.

Song Qingyun stopped talking immediately after hearing this, and opened his eyes carefully. Sure enough, he saw Song Changsheng, dressed in a green shirt, standing in front of him.

He stood up reflexively, scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Father."

To be honest, until now Song Changsheng still didn't know what kind of image he should present when interacting with Song Qingyun, so he could only put on a stern face and pretend to be serious.

"You don't need to take the medicinal bath anymore. Put on your clothes. I have something for you."

After saying that, Song Changsheng turned his back.

"Yes." Song Qingyun was a little confused, but he still put on his clothes obediently and stood beside Song Changsheng properly.

Song Changsheng handed the jade slip with the copied mental method to Song Qingyun and said, "This is the Great Dream Art, which is just right for your [Dream Body]. Don't open it now. Open it and practice at noon tomorrow. Got it?"

Looking at the jade slip in front of him, Song Qingyun was overjoyed.

He knew that the reason why his cultivation speed was so slow was because he lacked a suitable method of cultivation. Therefore, after hearing Song Changsheng's words, he hurriedly grabbed the jade slip in his hand and read it over and over again. He even forgot to ask why it could only be opened at "noon".

"Remember, it can only be opened at noon tomorrow. Take a good rest today and recharge your energy. Do you understand?" Seeing this, Song Changsheng couldn't help but add seriously.

The practice of "The Great Dream Art" must be done when the spirit is fully awake, otherwise there will be a risk of falling asleep. With Song Qingyun's current level of cultivation, it is impossible for him to master such a profound ability.

Therefore, based on Song Qingyun's daily sleeping patterns, Song Changsheng calculated that noon was the best time for Song Qingyun to practice.

The reason why he gave him the secret method now was that Song Changsheng wanted to see if Song Qingyun had the self-control in the face of temptation. In fact, he had already set up restrictions on the jade slip, and it could not be opened before the time was right.

"I obey your command." Song Qingyun bowed quickly.

"Well, have a good rest." Song Changsheng nodded, then walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

"Have you explained it clearly?" Zhu Yiqun looked at him sideways and said.

"I've explained it clearly. You'll have to look after Yun'er while she practices tomorrow." Song Changsheng said softly.

Hearing this, Zhu Yiqun was a little surprised and said, "Such an important moment, you don't watch it in person?"

"I have something to do tomorrow."

Once the jade slip is opened, a heavenly thunder tribulation will descend. Song Changsheng naturally cannot endure the thunder tribulation in Cangmang Peak. He must find a deserted place and prevent the thunder tribulation from affecting his family.

Therefore, he was a little overwhelmed on Song Qingyun's side.

"How can you be such a father? What could be more important than your precious son?" Zhu Yiqun looked at Song Changsheng with disdain.

"If it weren't for the last resort, I wouldn't have troubled you. Please give me another hand." Putting his hand on Zhu Yiqun's shoulder, Song Changsheng said solemnly.

Zhu Yiqun slapped Song Changsheng's hand away in disdain: "Why are you making so much drama? If you want to go, go now."

"Then thank you for your help." Song Changsheng laughed, then turned into a stream of light and went away into the distance.

Soon, Song Changsheng found a wasteland. Due to the sparse vegetation, there were few people around, not to mention traces of wild animals.

"Let's survive the thunderstorm here."

Song Changsheng murmured softly, found a small hill, took out the formation flags and set up a second-level top-grade defensive formation. Song Changsheng's requirements were not high, as long as it could help him block the first heavenly thunder.

It’s not that I don’t want to set up a three-level formation, but there is not enough time, so I can only settle for the next best thing.

After doing all this, Song Changsheng sat cross-legged on the hill, waiting for the arrival of the heavenly thunder.

The next day, when the sun moved to the middle of the sky, Song Changsheng suddenly felt a force that made him extremely palpitating.

When he looked up, he found that large patches of leaden clouds were gathering above his head. The small snakes that were basking in the sun and the small animals that were looking for food in the wilderness suddenly fled in all directions as if they were frightened by something.

"Are you here?" Song Changsheng stood up, his face a little solemn.

Although it was not the first time he faced the thunder, the feeling this time was completely different, as if there was a pair of eyes watching him from the sky.

Xiaojiu had already hidden his aura, but Song Changsheng could clearly feel the fear emanating from him.

Any mental method taken out from the "Magic Book of Creation" would attract the attention of Heaven. As a spirit of the weapon, Xiaojiu would naturally be an existence that Heaven would not tolerate.

Once discovered, it will be more than just a "slight punishment".

"boom--"

With a loud thunderclap, thick leaden clouds completely covered the sky, with lightning snakes surging in it, releasing a heart-pounding breath.

Song Changsheng could clearly feel that he was being locked by a certain force.

"boom--"

A brilliant bolt of lightning broke through the dark clouds and suddenly fell down.

"【Tian Gang Formation】, start!"

The formation immediately began to operate, and hundreds of diamond-shaped Tiangang shields formed a solid line of defense above Song Changsheng's head.

"Boom"

Thunder exploded, and the [Tiangang Formation] was instantly broken, and the thunder that was falling also disappeared.

Without giving Song Changsheng much time to catch his breath, the second thunder came down right after him.

Song Changsheng immediately summoned the [Silver Dragon Mace]. With a flash of strong light, the second thunder disappeared into thin air. The spirituality of the [Silver Dragon Mace] was also greatly damaged, which made him feel distressed.

"Boom"

Leaden clouds rolled in the sky, and countless brilliant lightning lights were looming in it. Finally, all the thunder gathered together, and a purple thunder as thick as an adult's arm fell down with a loud bang.

Song Changsheng suddenly felt that the space around him seemed to solidify, making him unable to move, and he couldn't even take out his magic weapon to resist.

"Are you serious? Come on!"

Song Changsheng let out a low roar and displayed his [Five Beasts Battle Body]. His pair of flaming wings looked exceptionally dazzling under the sky.

"boom--"

The purple lightning came down with terrifying might, and Song Changsheng's protective Tiangang was shattered like foam. The lightning continued to move forward and pierced his chest directly...

ps: The elder in my family is seriously ill and dying. I have taken three days off to come back and see him for the last time. The updates in the next few days may be late. I hope my fellow Taoists will forgive me.

If there is a break, it will be made up in time.
