Qinghe Immortal Clan.

"I wonder if there is anyone else in our sect who has been to Donghuang Country. Can Master tell us something?" Hearing Yao Qianshu's kind reminder, Song Qingming immediately asked.

"Haha! Junior Brother Song has finally come to the right place this time. There just happens to be someone in our hall who has been to Donghuang Country."

Seeing Yao Qianshu suddenly look up with a smile at Bai Yuxian, who had been sitting at the top and had not spoken a word, Song Qingming's face immediately showed a hint of surprise.

"Is it Senior Sister Bai that the head brother is talking about?"

In the entire Wei Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, although most cultivators knew about the existence of the "Donghuang Kingdom" immortal cultivation world, not many people had actually been there. Song Qingming really didn't expect that Bai Yuxian, a genius who was being focused on training by the sect, would actually travel to such a far place.

Yao Qianshu nodded slightly and said, "Junior Sister Bai also went to Donghuang Country once when she was in the early years of her Dan formation. If you ask her, it will definitely be helpful for your trip."

"Yes! Thank you for your guidance, Master Brother."

Seeing that Song Qingming's gaze had turned to her, Bai Yuxian, who had been sitting there listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly stood up and left her seat and came to Song Qingming and the other person.

"Master, since Junior Brother Song has something to ask me, I'll trouble you with the things here first. I'll come back tomorrow!"

After finishing talking to Yao Qianshu, Bai Yuxian made a gesture of invitation to Song Qingming who was standing beside him. "Junior Brother Song! It's not convenient to talk in detail here. If you have anything to know, please come with me and talk to me somewhere else!"

In Xiaoyao Hall, there are often cultivators coming in and out, looking for the sect leader to report some sect affairs. It is indeed not appropriate for them to sit here and chat all the time.

Seeing that Bai Yuxian had taken the initiative to walk out of the hall, Song Qingming and Yao Qianshu bowed and greeted her, then immediately stood up and quickly followed.

As soon as he left the palace, Bai Yuxian waved his hand and took out a green flying boat. With a smile on his face, he said to Song Qingming behind him: "Junior Brother Song, please come in!"

"Senior Sister Bai, you're too polite!"

After the two of them boarded the flying boat, the green flying boat, under the control of Bai Yuxian, immediately turned into a beam of light and disappeared on the spot.

After a cup of tea, Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian arrived at a high mountain guarded by many disciples of the sect.

Song Qingming, standing on a high mountain, looked at a teleportation array guarded by several Xiaoyao Sect disciples not far away. He couldn't help but ask Bai Yuxian, who had just put away the flying boat, with a puzzled look on his face:
"Senior Sister Bai, is there anything else you need to do here?"

Song Qingming had been to the mountain where the two were before, but apart from a teleportation array guarded by sect disciples that led directly to Guiyunfang, there was no other place convenient for the two to talk.

Song Qingming was a little confused for a moment. What did Bai Yuxian mean by suddenly bringing him here?
"I have been staying in the cave to recuperate for a while, and I haven't been out for a walk for a long time. Junior Brother Song! You finally asked me for a favor this time, so you should show your sincerity.

Last time I heard that Ren Guiyunfang had opened a new restaurant, and the food was pretty good, so why don't you invite me to go there today to try the food? This shouldn't be too much of a hassle for you, right?"

After Bai Yuxian finished speaking, she blinked her big eyes slightly and looked at Song Qingming with some anticipation.

"What are you talking about, Senior Sister Bai? This is what we should do. There is no need to make it difficult." Song Qingming naturally did not mind when he heard Bai Yuxian's request to him. He immediately nodded and agreed.
Inviting the other party to have a meal at Guiyunfang would only cost a hundred or so spirit stones at most, and for Song Qingming, who could easily take out tens of thousands of spirit stones, this amount of spirit stones was completely a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.

Seeing that Song Qingming readily agreed to this matter, a smile immediately appeared on Bai Yuxian's face. She took Song Qingming and used the sect's teleportation array to leave Guyang Mountain. A moment later, they arrived at Guiyunfang, thousands of miles away.

Guiyunfang has developed quite well in recent years. It has always been the most important industry of Xiaoyao Sect besides Guyang Mountain, and it brings a considerable amount of profit to the sect every year.

After walking out of the teleportation array and arriving on the streets of the market town, Bai Yuxian, who had not been out for a long time, was immediately attracted by the prosperous scene before him.

"It's rare to have time to go out, Junior Brother Song, don't worry, wait for me to buy a few things, and then I will take you to the restaurant. We can eat and talk at that time. If you have anything you want to know, just ask me."

"Ah! Well, Senior Sister Bai, since you still have some things to do, why don't you tell me the name of the restaurant you want to go to? I'll go there first and ask them to prepare it so that you don't have to wait for a long time."

Hearing that Bai Yuxian was going to buy something on the street, Song Qingming instantly felt that something seemed to be wrong. A wave of unfriendly memories quietly came to his mind, making him instinctively want to avoid what was about to happen next.

Seeing that Song Qingming wanted to run away, Bai Yuxian's pretty face, which had been smiling just now, suddenly turned cold.

"Junior Brother Song, why are you so anxious? Don't you want to stay with me?"

"Senior Sister Bai misunderstood. That's not what I meant."

"Since you're not, then come with me to go shopping!" Bai Yuxian's expression changed again after she said that. Without waiting for Song Qingming's answer, she walked into the nearest shop with a happy look on her face. She completely lost the image of a high-level Jindan cultivator.

Song Qingming, who was standing in place, also smiled bitterly when he saw this.

"It seems like I can't hide today!"

No matter what, Bai Yuxian is about to take over from Yao Qianshu as the head of the Xiaoyao Sect. Song Qingming did not dare to offend the future head of the sect too much at this moment. He stood there and whispered to himself, then immediately put on a smiling face and slowly followed.

This tour was just as Song Qingming had expected. It lasted for more than three hours. Until the sky gradually darkened, Bai Yuxian was satisfied and took Song Qingming to a restaurant on the east side of the market.

Ever since returning from the "Tower of Babel", Bai Yuxian has spent most of the past twenty years breaking through the Nascent Soul stage and recuperating from his injuries. Indeed, he has not been out for a long time.

She has been very busy recently because she has been handing over many things from the headmaster Yao Qianshu. Today, she finally got out and found a chance to satisfy herself.

Song Qingming, who was following beside her, accompanied Bai Yuxian from the afternoon until dark. In order to deal with and cooperate with her, he was very tired, but fortunately he managed to successfully complete this very difficult "hard work".

After the two arrived at the restaurant, Bai Yuxian was in a good mood and did not make any excessive demands this time.

She was very satisfied with Song Qingming's performance during the day. Without waiting for Song Qingming to ask, she immediately shared with Song Qingming some of her real experiences when she went to "Donghuang Country".

As Song Qingming expected, Bai Yuxian's trip to the "Donghuang Kingdom" was indeed shortly after she formed her Golden Core. However, she did not go out alone that time. She was accompanied by an elder of the sect who had already passed away and was in the late Golden Core stage.

The immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Kingdom" is the core territory of the human race in the entire Donghuang Immortal State. It is much larger than more remote areas such as the Floating Cloud Mountains.

Bai Yuxian and his companions traveled there for more than ten years last time, and they had only been to four of the thirteen states of the "Donghuang Kingdom" that were close to the east, and they had not even covered half of the area.

But even so, Bai Yuxian, who had traveled to the "Donghuang Kingdom" once, was still very clear about the customs and habits there, as well as the divisions of some large sects and forces.

In charge of the entire "Donghuang Kingdom" immortal cultivation world are the three top forces that are recognized as the most powerful in the entire Donghuang Xianzhou continent, as well as the ten immortal cultivation sects that are slightly weaker than them, also known as the "Ten Major Sects of Donghuang Kingdom."

The three top forces are the Tianyu Sect, the Xianyuan Sect and the Dangmo Palace. Together, they control almost one-third of the territory of the entire Donghuang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.

These three are recognized as the strongest sects among all the immortal cultivation forces in Donghuang Immortal State. Their reputation and influence have even spread to other immortal cultivation continents in the five continents and four seas of Huayang Realm.

Not only are there many Nascent Soul masters in the sect, but the two most powerful sects, "Tianyu Sect" and "Xianyuan Sect", even have God Transformation cultivators in charge.

Although the weakest "Demon Slaying Palace" no longer has a Divine Transformation cultivator in charge, it is still a major sect of immortal cultivation that has been passed down in Donghuang Immortal State for more than ten thousand years. There was even an ancestor who reached the Divine Transformation level and ascended to the upper realm.

A large sect like the "Dangmo Palace" that has produced ascended cultivators can still become the top immortal cultivation force in the Donghuang Kingdom even though it no longer has a God-Transforming Ancestor in charge. There must be some means in the sect that can check and balance the God-Transforming cultivators. The sect's foundation is far beyond the reach of ordinary Nascent Soul sects.

Below the three top-level divine transformation forces are the ten major Nascent Soul sects of the "Donghuang Kingdom".

There are no less than a hundred Nascent Soul Sects in the entire "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world, but those that can be ranked in this position are almost all the most powerful Nascent Soul Sects in the entire Donghuang Immortal State.

Moreover, the ten Nascent Soul sects of the "Donghuang Kingdom" are re-evaluated every hundred years or so, and then their respective spheres of influence are divided. If the strength of a sect has declined during this period, it will soon be replaced by other sects with rising strength.

Many of the large Nascent Soul sects that have been able to consistently appear on the list have produced Divine Transformation cultivators. The strength and foundation of the sects are not comparable to those of the general emerging Nascent Soul sects.

Even though the sect ranked at the bottom of the list of the top ten Nascent Soul sects in the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world, its sect strength far exceeds that of the ordinary Nascent Soul sects in the Floating Cloud Mountains cultivation world.

The "Wanling Sect" in the Floating Cloud Mountains is recognized as the strongest in the immortal cultivation world. It has a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. If it were placed in the "Eastern Phoenix Country" immortal cultivation world, its strength would probably not even be ranked in the top 20. The reason why the "Eastern Phoenix Country" immortal cultivation world has become a holy land for human cultivators is not only because of its rich cultivation resources, but also because there are many powerful immortal cultivation sects in the territory that bless this pure land, which has ensured the stable development of the "Eastern Phoenix Country" immortal cultivation world for more than 100,000 years.

In contrast, the immortal cultivation world in the Floating Cloud Mountains is not only scarce in resources, but is also constantly facing the huge threat of monsters from the northern border. Every hundred years there is a crisis that concerns life and death, and it is difficult to have the opportunity for stable development.

Therefore, it is difficult to produce a cultivator of the late Nascent Soul stage, let alone a Divine Transformation stage cultivator, in the Floating Cloud Mountains. Faced with the constant invasion of powerful monsters from the north, the major sects have been able to resort to passive defense for tens of thousands of years.

After giving Song Qingming a detailed introduction to the power structure of the immortal cultivation world in the "Donghuang Kingdom", Bai Yuxian also informed Song Qingming in detail about some of the sects he knew that needed to be watched carefully.

Remind him that when he travels to the "Donghuang Kingdom", he must try his best to avoid those territories that are not easy to provoke sects, so as to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble.

In addition to these, Bai Yuxian also told Song Qingming about several dangerous places near the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world, and warned him not to get close, otherwise his life might be in danger.

The two chatted in the restaurant for a long time, until the moon was high in the sky, then they walked out of the restaurant together.

"Junior Brother Song, if I hadn't been so busy, I would have liked to go to Donghuang Country with you again. Unfortunately, our senior brother has a short life span now, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to leave the sect at will in the future."

After chatting with Bai Yuxian for such a long time, Song Qingming naturally knew that she, like himself, was a person who liked to travel around. However, now that Li Mufeng had planned to let her take over the position of the head, he would definitely not let her travel around at will.

In the Xiaoyao Sect, apart from Bai Yuxian and the nearly deceased leader Yao Qianshu, the one with the highest cultivation level is Li Wutong, who just broke through to the seventh level of Golden Core more than a decade ago. At present, there is indeed no one else more suitable to take over the position of leader than Bai Yuxian.

"Senior Sister Bai! You still have plenty of life left, and with the support of Uncle Li, you will definitely be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

When the time comes, it will be natural for Senior Sister Bai to travel abroad. Not to mention Donghuang Country, even traveling across state boundaries to other cultivation realms will be a simple matter."

Hearing Song Qingming's compliments, Bai Yuxian sighed slightly and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Then I'll take advantage of Junior Brother Song's good words!"

"Junior Brother Song! It's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, I will return to the sect first. I hope your trip goes smoothly and you can return soon!"

"Take care, Senior Sister Bai!"
-
Half a year later! On a deserted mountain outside Qinghefang.

The sun was scorching in the sky, and the scorching sun had made a huge rock on the top of the mountain so hot that you could feel balls of heat rising from the rock.

In the middle of the boulder, a man in green was sitting on the hot stone surface with his eyes closed, absorbing the scorching spiritual energy around him, standing still like a statue under the scorching sun.

Half an hour later, a green light suddenly flew from the horizon. It circled around the mountain before slowly landing on the boulder and transformed into a figure in a green robe.

Looking at the blue-robed man whose face was slightly red from the scorching sun, the green-robed man asked with a little curiosity: "What kind of strange technique are you practicing that requires you to come here to absorb the fire-attributed spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

After hearing the words of the man in green robe, the man in blue put away his magic power, slowly opened his eyes and stood up.

"I don't know when Senior Feng He will be here, so I just tried to practice some skills here out of boredom. Senior, please don't misunderstand me!"

Feng He chuckled when he heard this, and then changed the subject and asked, "How are your preparations going? When can you leave with me?"

Song Qingming nodded slightly and replied: "I'm ready. If you have nothing else to do, we can leave now!"

"Well! Let's go back and say goodbye to your young lady! It may take us 20 years to come back. Don't worry about this time. I can wait for you in Qinghefang for a few days."

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Feng He, but I have already explained the family matters to them, so there is nothing much to say goodbye to. We might as well leave early so that we can come back sooner."

Seeing that Song Qingming was already prepared, Feng He smiled and nodded, "In that case, let's set off now!"

After Feng He finished speaking, he moved his hand slightly and released a delicate green flying car, then jumped directly on it.

It was the first time that Song Qingming saw the flying magic weapon on Feng He. He couldn't help but take a closer look at it before quickly jumping up.

"Why do you like this flying car, kid?" Feng He asked with a smile when he saw Song Qingming looking at the flying car with curiosity after he came up.

"I'm just a little curious, please don't misunderstand me, senior!" After hearing what Feng He said, Song Qingming quickly retracted his gaze.

Feng He chuckled and said, "This thing is nothing special. Apart from being faster, it's actually not as useful as the flying boat you have. You don't have to envy it.

When I break through the Nascent Soul stage and get my revenge, I can agree to a request of yours within my power. If you want this flying car, just tell me directly!"

"Haha! Thank you for your kindness, senior. However, I already have a flying magic weapon, and I don't need it urgently now. Let's talk about it later!" Hearing that Feng He wanted to give him this flying car, Song Qingming quickly waved his hand to reject his kindness.

Seeing this, Feng He didn't say anything more. He smiled, turned around and looked forward. Soon, the flying car under his control turned into a green light and disappeared on the spot, flying directly to the northwest of Qinghefang.

After returning from Guiyunfang with Bai Yuxian, Song Qingming immediately summoned several foundation-building elders of the Song family back to Funiu Mountain. After arranging for Song Qingyu to act as the clan leader, he explained to them his upcoming travels.

Now in the Song family, in addition to Song Qingming, there are two Jindan cultivators, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, plus eight foundation-building elders such as Song Yuanfang, and more than three hundred Qi-refining cultivators.

With so many clan monks, plus the three-level mountain protection formation set up by Song Qingming on the mountain, even without relying on the power of the Xiaoyao Sect, there will basically be no major problems in guarding the safety of the family's sacred place, Funiu Mountain. Song Qingming does not need to worry too much about this.

After explaining the matters at home, Song Qingming accompanied Huang Siyuan to have a good trip around Weiguo, taking advantage of the fact that there was still half a year left in the agreement with Feng He.

Knowing that it might take a long time for Song Qingming to return, the two of them completely put aside the tedious matters of cultivation along the way and traveled to most parts of the Wei State in just a few months.

From the extremely dangerous yet scenic Fuyun Mountains in the north to the sparkling Taiyue Lake in the south where the sky and water merge into one, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan left their footprints in all the mountains and rivers of Wei State.

After the two of them had been traveling for several months, Song Qingming returned to Funiu Mountain with Huang Siyuan. In the remaining two or three months, Song Qingming had nothing to do, so he began to practice in seclusion again.

It was not until the time agreed with Feng He was approaching that Song Qingming walked out of the cave with a happy look on his face.

Although this retreat lasted only a few months, Song Qingming was somewhat surprised that his practice of the "Tongtian Wanling Jue", which had been very slow before, actually made great progress during this retreat.

Ever since he obtained this technique in the "Tower of Babel", Song Qingming has been practicing it hard for several decades, but he has always remained in the late stage of Qi Refining and has not been able to break through to the second level of Foundation Establishment.

Unexpectedly, this time Song Qingming gave up his cultivation and went out to travel with Huang Siyuan for a few months. After returning and practicing for a while, he successfully broke through the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" to the foundation-building stage.

This really gave Song Qingming a big surprise before he went on a long journey.

However, practicing the second level of "Tong Tian Wan Ling Jue" is also very difficult. It actually requires practitioners not to use spiritual veins or spiritual stones and other auxiliary spiritual objects, but only to absorb the purest spiritual power between heaven and earth to practice slowly.

This is also the reason why Song Qingming chose to absorb the spiritual energy of the nearby heaven and earth under the scorching sun.

However, when it comes to absorbing spiritual energy between heaven and earth for cultivation, the incomplete map on Song Qingming's body can be of great help. In this regard, he is much simpler than ordinary people.

The speed of his cultivation of the foundation-building stage of "Tongtian Wanling Jue" should be much faster than originally expected.

In addition to the surprise of an unexpected breakthrough in the technique he practiced, Song Qingming had just come out of seclusion two days ago, and Song Qingyu, who had been in seclusion for half a year, also successfully broke through his cultivation and advanced to the second level of the Golden Core realm.

Although with the help of a third-grade lower-quality "Gilded Fruit" that Song Qingming had obtained from Yunwu Mountain, her cultivation speed was slightly accelerated.

However, it has only been less than thirteen years since Song Qingyu successfully formed the Golden Core. He was able to successfully break through to the second level of the Golden Core in such a short period of time. Song Qingyu's cultivation speed is already relatively fast among the Golden Core cultivators Song Qingming knows.

Song Qingyu's breakthrough also gave Song Qingming, who was about to go out, a little more peace of mind. (End of this chapter)
