Yunmeng Immortal Clan

But now, upon hearing Song Daoxuan's words, the high-ranking members of the Eastern Wilderness Song Clan felt as if they had received a reassurance.

After the Qinglian Song Clan subdued the Eastern Wilderness Song Clan and made it a branch, every Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Qinglian Song Clan showed a sense of pride in their eyes.

Subsequently, the elder named Song Xiuyuan, who was at the head of the group of cultivators, turned his gaze to the Song family of the Northern Territory on the other side, to Song Lingjie, a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

"I, Song Lingjie, absolutely refuse to lead my family to join the Qinglian Song Clan..."

As soon as Song Lingjie finished speaking, the cultivators present all accused him of breaking his promise.

But Song Lingjie simply smiled and said, "Gentlemen, consider this: our three lineages have been separated for hundreds of years, each establishing itself in its own region and becoming familiar with the local customs and traditions. If we were to truly merge into one lineage, would that be a good thing for the Song clan of the Northern Territory as a whole?"

"Furthermore, I am a Supreme Elder of the Northern Song Clan, but I am not merely a Supreme Elder of the Northern Song Clan. I am also one of the main hall elders of the Northern sect, the Immortal Puppet Sect. If I were to lead the entire cultivation family to submit to your Azure Lotus Song Clan, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Nascent Soul cultivators behind the sect. At that time, how could you cultivators withstand the wrath of the Nascent Soul cultivators!"

Upon hearing Song Lingjie's words, the cultivators present who had been secretly cursing Song Lingjie for violating clan rules all turned cold.

They originally intended to condemn this mid-stage Core Formation cultivator from the Northern Song Clan according to their family rules, but now that they heard that Song Lingjie and the powerful Nascent Soul cultivator behind him were spying on them, they couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons.

Song Daoxuan sneered inwardly. This Song Lingjie was indeed an old monster who had cultivated for hundreds of years. Even if such a person really joined the Qinglian Song Clan, he would definitely not be at ease to be subdued by him.

Ultimately, it will backfire and cause endless harm. With such cultivation and such cunning, the Qinglian Song Clan has absolutely no chance of controlling this person.

With this in mind, Song Daoxuan abandoned his plan to take over the Northern Song Clan and make it the Qinglian Song Clan without the slightest hesitation.

Furthermore, the Northern Song Clan has long been established in the Northern Song Clan. The cultivation conditions in the Southern Ming Domain are the most barren in the entire Xuanhuang Immortal Cultivation World, which is a well-known fact in the cultivation world.

In the eyes of these cultivators from the Northern Territory, no matter how terrible their experiences were in the entire Northern Territory, their opportunities in the Northern Territory were still better than in the entire Southern Ming Domain.

in other words.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is extremely sparse in the entire Southern Ming Domain, so it is only the limit for the birth of some first- or second-tier medicinal herbs and rare treasures.

Occasionally, in places where spirits gather, one can barely find a few third-tier spiritual herbs.

However, it is absolutely impossible to create spiritual herbs of the third rank or above, or spiritual herbs of a grade of more than ten thousand years.

Even with their utmost efforts, cultivators simply cannot find any spiritual herbs that lead to the Core Formation stage or higher.

As a result, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Southern Bright Domain is the smallest among the five major regions of the Xuanhuang Heaven.

Furthermore, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Southern Ming Domain, at best, are only at the early Nascent Soul stage.

However, once you reach the Northern Territory, although fourth-grade or higher spiritual herbs are extremely rare there, there are still many legends about these rare and precious herbs.

This resulted in the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Northern Territory being several times that of the entire Southern Ming Dynasty.

In contrast, the entire Southern Ming Domain, among the most prosperous and flourishing places of immortality in the Central Domains, regarded the Southern Ming Domain as a tiny, insignificant place.

Song Daoxuan immediately began to communicate with the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Qinglian Song Clan through divine sense.

As a result, the cultivators in these families all expressed their unwillingness to incorporate the Northern Song Clan into the Qinglian Islands.

Apart from the Supreme Elder Song Lingjie, the Song family members of the Northern Territory, including their patriarch Song Xunmo and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators, all treated the Qinglian Song family with extreme indifference.

Conversely, if the Qinglian Song Clan loses this Three Clans Grand Competition, they will have to turn around and bow down to the Northern Song Clan.

Although the Northern Song Clan and the Azure Lotus Song Clan belonged to the same family hundreds of years ago, the cultivators of the Northern Song Clan considered themselves superior cultivators, so naturally they would not regard the cultivators of the Azure Lotus Song Clan as fellow cultivators of the same clan as themselves.

The foundation-building process of an entire clan is like this. Even if these cultivators from the Northern Song Clan are recruited into the Azure Lotus Islands, it will ultimately remain unspoken. Two voices have emerged within a single clan. In the long run, this is not a good thing for the Azure Lotus Islands as a whole.

"However, it is possible not to join my Qinglian Song Clan. This is a rule set by our ancestors. Since your Northern Song Clan does not agree, you must sever ties with our ancestors. Your ancient stele and all family tokens and artifacts that are connected to our ancestors must be handed over to my Qinglian Song Clan!"

"This is the result of a collective discussion between myself and the cultivators in my family. What do you all think?" Song Daoxuan, dressed in a blue Daoist robe, suddenly emitted a chilling light from his eyes, enveloping the many cultivators present.

Even the two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators and several pseudo-Core Formation cultivators present were affected by Song Daoxuan's cold gaze, and instantly trembled all over.

"This plan is feasible, Song Lingjie. You are all members of the Song clan. Hundreds of years have passed, yet you have broken your promise. According to custom, you will not be able to leave this underground."

"Since the young master has shown mercy, then do as the young master says, hand over all the tokens related to the Song family, and then get out of here. Furthermore, as for that island where the ancient teleportation array is hidden, all of you cultivators present must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that you will never reveal the slightest detail about this matter for the rest of your lives!" Song Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.

This sound reached the ears of every cultivator in the entire underground realm.

Among the Song family members from the Northern Territory, the old man in the very center, Song Lingjie, trembled slightly upon hearing this, his somewhat disheveled face showing signs of distress.

In a short moment, after weighing the pros and cons, Song Lingjie had already made up his mind: "Okay!"

Song Lingjie is not a coward, but he was indeed at fault in this matter. At present, he is more than capable of saving his own life.

But with his current abilities, he simply cannot completely turn against these cultivators in front of him.

There were three fake Core Formation cultivators present: one in the early stage of Core Formation and one in the middle stage of Core Formation.

There were seven Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Northern Song Clan present, but Song Lingjie didn't care about these lower-level cultivators at all.

However, if he were to turn against the person in front of him, these Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Northern Song Clan would have no chance of survival.

These Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Northern Song Clan all hold important positions within this Golden Core cultivation family.

If these Foundation Establishment cultivators perish here, their entire cultivation families will be thrown into chaos.

This is a significant loss for Song Lingjie's overall strength, and it does not align with the long-term interests of an old monster in the mid-stage of Core Formation.

In a short period of time, Song Lingjie had quickly compared the worst and best outcomes of falling out with the Qinglian Song Clan.

He realized that the best course of action for him at present was to compromise with the Song family of Qinglian.

With a flick of his sleeve, Song Lingjie sent out some tokens bestowed upon him by his ancestors.

A day later, they arrived at the Nine Heavens Gate. What came into Jiang Xun's view was a series of mountain peaks, sharp as swords, breaking through the clouds, surrounded by dreamlike white mist, like a fairyland on earth.

The Nine Heavens Sect belongs to the continental dynasty and is the oldest and most ancient cultivation sect in the continental dynasty.

Along the mountain peaks, numerous bamboo and wooden houses were built along the cliff caves, serving as the dwellings of cultivators. Amidst the surrounding mountains, several majestic palaces stood, important places where sect elders imparted cultivation methods.

Qu Mengli put away the flying sword magic weapon and then led Jiang Xun to a white-robed old man in his eighties with white hair.

The old man was sitting on a huge rock, drinking wine with great relish.

"Elder Heng, this is a new disciple, please make arrangements for me..."

Old Master Heng blushed deeply and waved his hand dismissively: "That's impolite! Who do you think you are, to decide what to do?"

Elder Heng glanced at the woman in white, and suddenly his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground: "So it's Elder Qu, please forgive my rudeness just now..."

Qu Mengli frowned slightly, gave a soft hum, and then said gently, "Get up!"

Elder Heng cupped his hands respectfully and said, "I didn't know Elder Qu had graced us with his presence. What are your instructions?"

The old man glanced at the graceful figure in a white dress. She spoke softly, though she didn't open her mouth, "This disciple can be promoted to a menial disciple. Please take good care of her..."

The sound was melodious, like a gentle spring breeze, soothing the heart.

Immediately afterward, the woman spoke with Elder Heng about many other matters. Upon finishing, Elder Heng knelt and bowed respectfully, saying, "Respectfully seeing Elder Qu off on her return home..."

The white-clad figure nodded slightly, while Ye Qingti gave Jiang Xun a communication disc, allowing them to contact each other even from thousands of miles away.

After speaking, a sword flew like a rainbow, carrying Qu Mengli and Ye Qingti behind her, disappearing into the verdant mountains deep in the clouds. These were the nine peaks of the inner sect, standing majestically in the center of a spiritual vein. The main branch-shaped terrain extending outwards was the residence of many outer sect disciples, while the scattered small hills on the outermost edge were the residences of the miscellaneous disciples.

There are many miscellaneous disciples, about 50,000. Every year, 100 new disciples are selected to enter the outer sect through martial arts competitions. However, if special circumstances occur, such as war causing a large number of cultivators to die, this limit will be greatly relaxed.

Now, if Jiang Xun wants to cultivate immortality, he must participate in the struggle and step into the outer sect in order to move from the preparatory stage to the formal stage. He must not expose his demonic cultivation, so he must start from the Qi induction of immortality and cultivate step by step to accumulate.

Although his aptitude for cultivating immortality is poor.

However, his aptitude for cultivating demonic arts is extraordinary.

As a disciple of the Demonic Sect, he was subjected to the Demonic Sect's ultimate technique, the Great Rebirth Nirvana Technique, at the moment of his death, transforming him into a physique capable of cultivating both immortality and demonic powers.

As time passed, all the precious collections in his storage bag turned to ashes with the wind and sand.

However, Jiang Xun is, after all, a demon with the cultivation level of Golden Core. He has some things stored in his mind from ten thousand years ago. If he were to throw these things out, the whole world might fight over them. But Jiang Xun will only turn these things into his current trump cards. In this way, Jiang Xun, a demon cultivator, can be ahead of other cultivators of his generation. In addition, he can use the small gourd to possess others, slowly lay out his plans, and eventually accumulate power to ascend to the upper realm. It is not impossible for him to do so.

Ascending to the upper realm grants immortality, and this has remained the ultimate pursuit of cultivators to this day.

However, before ascending to immortality, if a cultivator wants to prolong their life, they must improve their cultivation level. As their level improves, their magical power will also increase, and their status in the cultivation world will also rise.

After Qu Mengli left, only Jiang Xun and Elder Heng remained.

Elder Heng didn't give Jiang Xun a friendly look. He first shrugged, then frowned and said, "Heh! Kid, don't think that just because Qu Mengli told me to, I'll give you special treatment. Qu Mengli is kind; everyone in the Nine Heavens Sect knows that. He's brought back hundreds, if not a thousand, of the mortals, but which one of them has stood out from the menial disciples? So, kid, cultivating immortality isn't that easy! So, once you step into the menial disciples' quarters, you'd better lie low, don't cause trouble, and obediently follow orders!"

Jiang Xun smiled nonchalantly and laughed heartily, "Of course!"

"This is a Bronze Disciple Token, which is possessed by menial disciples. By injecting divine sense into it, one can unlock the basic cultivation technique, Nine Heavens Qi Guiding Technique."

Upon entering the outer sect, one will receive a silver disciple token, which will naturally grant access to the cultivation technique available after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage: the Nine Heavens Spirit Sword Technique.

If one can enter the inner sect, one will obtain the Golden Disciple Token and the complete Nine Heavens Dao Sword Technique…

"But with your talent, if you can even learn the basic Nine Heavens Qi Induction Technique, that would be quite remarkable. As a new disciple, your spiritual sense is weak and your memory is very limited. It's extremely rare for a servant disciple to comprehend the Nine Heavens Qi Induction Technique in ten years. However, I doubt you'll ever reach the Foundation Establishment stage. I also doubt you'll ever learn the Nine Heavens Spirit Sword Technique. Right now, you must water the spirit fields and plants properly, and feed the spirit beast mounts of the formal disciples. Otherwise, don't expect me to expel you from the Nine Heavens Sect. The Nine Heavens Sect never supports idlers or good-for-nothings. Keep this token safe. It allows you to enter the servant disciple's living area. Don't wander around. Otherwise, if you violate any restrictions or killing formations and die, the Nine Heavens Sect won't give you any compensation..." After saying this, Elder Heng tossed the token over.

Jiang Xun accepted the bronze token. To avoid his status as a menial disciple being too special and causing any trouble, he put it into a brocade pouch and tied it to the side of the small black gourd at his waist.

It is not advisable for Jiang Xun to reveal his demonic cultivation at this time. In this era of immortal rule, where demonic cultivation has disappeared, once exposed, it would be a dead end.
