Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Song Changsheng rushed to the room where Song Qingqing kept the gift as quickly as possible.

Dozens of gifts presented by guests attending the celebration were placed on a stepped counter according to their value and the status of the donors.

The lowest level of gifts are the most numerous and the most diverse, all of which are given by major foundation-building forces and individual cultivators.

The second level contained the gifts from the major Purple Mansion forces, among which the "Dancing with Swords in the Setting Sun" from the Tianjian Sect was the most conspicuous.

The topmost level was filled with gifts from the Jindan forces. Since Song Changsheng personally accepted the gifts from the Tianmai Sect and Luoxia City, only the brocade box covered with red cloth presented by Su Ye on behalf of the Jinwu Sect was placed on it.

When Song Changsheng arrived, it was just lying there quietly, and everything seemed normal.

"Could it be that I am wrong?" Song Changsheng murmured softly, but the doubts in his heart did not dissipate much.

Xia Qingxue would not do something without a purpose. Since she specifically reminded him, it meant that Su Ye did have plans to do something secretly, but she just didn't know what method he would use.

As of now, this gift is the most suspicious, but it cannot be ruled out that it is a deliberate trick thrown out by Su Ye, and the real means are still to come.

"Su Ye was so mysterious at that time that he refused to say anything. What on earth was in it?" Song Changsheng frowned slightly. The red cloth covering it was very strange. Not only could it block spiritual consciousness, but even the [Eye of Delusion-Breaking] could not see through it.

Although he was curious, he did not open the brocade box rashly. After all, no one knew what would happen when the red cloth was lifted.

"Let's seal it for now." After thinking for a while, Song Changsheng decided to be safer. He stretched out his hand and set up a ban around the brocade box.

Whether opening it or destroying it is full of uncertainty, it is better to seal it and keep it as it is.

Looking at the brocade box wrapped in the ban, Song Changsheng relaxed a little, called Song Qingqing who was waiting outside, and said, "I have a use for this "Dancing Swords in the Setting Sun" and the [Recovery Pill].

Just give the [Demon Subduing Stone] to Changrong and let him decide how to use it.

I won't be able to use this set of third-grade, mid-quality formation flags given by Sect Leader Hua for the time being, so you can give them to the Grand Elder.

The rest of these should be added to the family treasury, and the General Affairs Hall should calculate the value as soon as possible and convert it into contribution points for the clan members to redeem."

After saying that, Song Changsheng waved his sleeves and left with "Dancing with Swords in the Setting Sun", [Recovery Pill] and the sealed brocade box.

He returned to his own courtyard and walked straight into the study. He reached out and pressed a small protrusion under the bookshelf. A secret compartment one foot long and wide suddenly opened on the wall in front of him.

"If we put it here, we won't have to worry about anyone touching it." Song Changsheng said with satisfaction.

Except for him, no one usually comes into this study, and he is the only one who knows the switch of the secret compartment. The brocade box is absolutely safe in it.

Just as he was about to close the secret compartment, the red cloth on the brocade box suddenly fell off by itself. Before Song Changsheng could react, a blinding light suddenly burst out from the brocade box. Song Changsheng only felt a flash before his eyes, and an unknown force descended into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The defense of the [Nine-Layered Heaven Palace] did not play any role at all. This had never happened before, which meant that the person who set up this method had a much higher level of cultivation than Song Changsheng.

The scene in front of him became more and more blurry, his eyelids felt heavy as if filled with lead, and a strong sense of sleepiness came over him, and Song Changsheng's consciousness gradually fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, the brocade box opened by itself, revealing an old and majestic face.

If Xia Qingxue were here, she would definitely be shocked, because this face was none other than her master Su Ding, the strongest person in the Da Qi cultivation world!
He took action personally, and with Song Changsheng's level of cultivation, there was no room for resistance at all.

Su Ding stared at Song Changsheng, and after making sure that his consciousness had completely fallen into chaos, he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

"I am...Song Changsheng." Song Changsheng answered in a daze.

Song Changsheng's answer made Su Ding very satisfied, because it meant that his method worked.

With his identity and status, there was no need for him to go to such great lengths to use such inferior means on a junior.

But Song Changsheng's rise was so fast that he even found it a little unbelievable. This was not the speed that a cultivator from a small family should have.

Take Su Ye, who also achieved the Purple Mansion Stage before the age of fifty, as an example.

His parents were both Purple Mansion cultivators, so he had spiritual roots since birth, and they were golden-sky spiritual roots that were one in a million.

As a result, he caused a sensation in the entire Da Qi cultivation world as soon as he was born. Su Ding had high hopes for him and took him to his side to teach him personally when he was three years old.

Before he was five years old, Su Ye would use medicinal baths worth thousands of spirit stones every day to cleanse his meridians and marrow and strengthen his body.

He officially began practicing at the age of six, and what he practiced was the most advanced mental method of the Jinwu Sect, and all kinds of rare resources were supplied in unlimited quantities.

With abundant resources and guidance from powerful people like Su Ding, Su Ye himself practiced very hard and began to build his foundation using the ancient cultivators' foundation-building method at the age of fourteen.

Twenty-two years old is just the beginning for most people in this world, but Su Ye has already cultivated to the great perfection of foundation building.

Because his cultivation was too fast and too smooth, Su Ye lacked many important insights and experiences, so under Su Ding's arrangement, he underwent a decade of brutal training.

During these ten years, he did not receive any help from his master. He went in and out of various dangerous places all day long. While gaining many opportunities, he also escaped death several times.

That year, Su Ye was thirty-two years old and had already become the number one person under the Purple Mansion.

Even so, it took him seventeen years to realize his own "Tao" and finally take that crucial step to achieve Purple Mansion.

This growth rate is already fast enough, but Song Changsheng is even faster than him, which is not normal.

Su Ding once sent people to investigate secretly. It was found that Song Changsheng's talent could only be considered above average, and the resources he obtained in his youth were also very ordinary. His only comprehension was very outstanding, and even Su Ye was slightly inferior to him.

Although he went down the mountain to gain experience very early and had obtained many opportunities, it was not enough to support him to reach his current height.

Later, Su Ding found two very suspicious things.

First, when it came to consolidating the foundation of the Tao during the Qi training period, Su Ye took three years to achieve the foundation of the Tao, while Song Changsheng only took more than a year.

Second, when breaking through the Purple Mansion, it took Song Changsheng less than ten years from the breakthrough to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment to the Purple Mansion.

It took Su Ye twenty-seven years.

This is how the time gap between the two was widened.

It’s not that Su Ye is too slow, but that Song Changsheng is too exaggerated.

After much thought, Su Ding came up with a guess in his mind, and he came here today to verify this guess.

He asked several basic questions in succession, and Song Changsheng answered them truthfully.

Su Ding finally revealed his true intentions and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any memories of your past life?"

Under what circumstances can a person retain his or her own memory?
In addition to the "time travel" that is beyond their cognition, there is another operation that everyone is familiar with, that is, the "reincarnation of the powerful."

After a person dies, the true spirit will carry the soul into reincarnation, and after erasing the memory, reincarnate as a human again. This is a normal process.

What is abnormal is that there is no soul but only a true spirit. It is not up to you to decide what you will be reincarnated into. It may be a demon, a monster, or even an unintelligent beast.

But no matter whether it is normal or abnormal, it represents the complete end of this life and cannot be reversed.

It was not until the ancient times that powerful people discovered a method to preserve the memory of their previous life. They called this method "reincarnation and reconstruction."

If you use this method when your life is about to end and there is no hope of a breakthrough, you will be able to reincarnate with the memories of this life and start over again, allowing yourself to win at the starting line from the very beginning.

As long as they don't die halfway, they will be able to quickly return to the peak and sprint to a higher level with the experience and memory of their previous lives.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, especially in some large sects that have connections with immortals. It is even more common. A special profession called "the guide" has been derived from it.

They were specially trained and spread across every corner of the world. Every day they used special methods to search for the "reincarnated" strong men of their own sect, and lead them back to help them awaken their memories.

Although very few of these people are able to break free from the shackles of their previous lives and reach a higher realm, as long as they are provided with resources and shelter, they will soon be able to return to their former realm and become the pillars of the sect.

If not, how could those great religions have remained prosperous for so many years?

Su Ding suspected in his heart that Song Changsheng was the reincarnation of some powerful being, and that he had awakened his memories of his past life very early.

If this is the case, then Song Changsheng's abnormal speed of cultivation can be fully explained.

As soon as this speculation appeared, it spread rapidly in Su Ding's mind like wildfire.

He is already over 1,200 years old this year. With the help of various methods to prolong life, he has extended his life for more than 200 years. Even so, he still sees no hope of further progress.

The shadow of death still threatens him every day.

The longer you live, the more you fear death.

In order to prevent or delay the arrival of that day, Su Ding made a lot of preparations.

The [Law Spirit Fruit] that was previously born in the secret realm of Luoxia City was once regarded by him as a life-saving straw. For this reason, he did not hesitate to put pressure on Luoxia City and sent Xia Qingxue and others in to fight for it.

Unfortunately, something unexpected happened and the flesh disappeared. Xia Qingxue only brought back a seed. Although it has been planted, it will take a long time for it to mature.

Although Su Ding felt regretful at the time, he didn't think much about it.

But now thinking back, Song Changsheng was also there that time.

If he was the reincarnation of a powerful being, it would be very easy for him to hide the flesh by using some unknown means.

It has to be said that Su Ding's ability of association is truly terrifying. He has almost seen through Song Changsheng. However, the only thing he did not expect is that Song Changsheng did live again, but he was not the reincarnation of some powerful being. He was just an ordinary person in his previous life.

The main reason why he cultivated so quickly, apart from the various magical methods he obtained from the "Magic Book of Creation", was that he used the [Eye to Break Delusion] to peek into the Way of Heaven.

He nearly lost his life that time, but he obtained the character "Tao" which contained the great truth, as well as the great enlightenment of [Qingtian Sword Immortal].

If not for this, how could he understand his "Tao" so quickly and break through the Purple Mansion.

A slight difference can lead to a loss of thousands of miles.

Su Ding did not have a God's perspective, so he did not know that his seemingly reasonable speculation was actually very different from the truth. Instead, he determined that Song Changsheng was the reincarnation of a powerful man.

The news made him ecstatic, like a drowning man grabbing a straw on the shore.

As long as he can obtain the method of "reincarnation and rebirth", he can start over again. Although rebirth is full of uncertainties, there is always hope, right?
To take a step back, even if he cannot break the shackles of this life, being able to live again is a huge temptation for him, who is about to die.

So, with this mentality, he went to find Song Changsheng.

He needed to make a final confirmation. As long as it was confirmed that Song Changsheng was the reincarnated person, he would obtain the method of reincarnation at all costs, even at the cost of sending the Jinwu Sect into the abyss.

If Song Changsheng wasn't...

Then he had no choice but to use the last method to prolong his life, but he was unwilling to use that method until the very last moment.

So, Song Changsheng must be it!
"Answer my question!" Su Ding shouted loudly, causing Song Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness to rumble.

"I……"

Song Changsheng was about to answer subconsciously, but this question had already touched the deepest secret in his heart. A look of struggle suddenly appeared on his face, and he was slow to answer.

"What a strong will." Su Ding frowned slightly. He knew that Song Changsheng had realized his situation and began to resist his will.

"Answer quickly!"

Su Ding's voice was as loud as a bell, shaking Song Changsheng so much that blood started flowing from all seven orifices.

"I……"

Song Changsheng opened his mouth, and the answer that Su Ding wanted seemed to be about to come out.

"Master, wake up." Xiaojiu's voice echoed in Song Changsheng's mind, with a rare hint of urgency.

Under its repeated calls, Song Changsheng's self-consciousness that was suppressed by Su Ding gradually responded, and began to resist the power that descended into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Seeing this, Su Ding's face looked a little ugly. After all, he was just a divine thought and his power was insufficient. Song Changsheng's resistance was very fierce, and he could no longer suppress it.

"Asshole, answer quickly!"

Su Ding was furious and began to forcibly suppress Song Changsheng's independent consciousness.

But Song Changsheng, who was no longer confused, refused to speak in the face of his questions.

The secret of being a time traveler must not be told under any circumstances!
Even death is not an option.

Because the consequences of speaking out are definitely more serious than death!

"what--"

Song Changsheng let out a roar of extreme pain, and at the risk of his soul being torn apart, he suddenly broke free from Su Ding's control.

After regaining control of his magic power, Song Changsheng cursed: "Xiao Wu, kill him!"
