Chapter 511

After opening and reading the letter in his hand, Feng Feng Yangde frowned slightly, thought for a long while, and then slowly said: "Senior Brother, this time, you and Ninth Junior Sister should go there. Just say that my cultivation technique is at a critical moment and it is not convenient for me to go out."

"Regarding the matter of Mount Luoyun Mountain, no matter what the Ma family wants to do, as long as it is not too excessive, you can make the decision. If you see Ma Ma Hongshan, please apologize for me!"

Seeing that Feng Feng Yangde was somewhat worried, Liang Liang Wenxu sighed and said: "It's fine for us to go for you, but you know that Ma Ma Hongshan's temper has always been somewhat bad. I'm also a little afraid that you will offend him again like this!"

Feng Feng Yangde shook his head with a wry smile and said: "If we talk about offending, last time during the demonic beast turmoil, our repeated delays in responding to the request for help from Mount Tiexian Castle had already offended the Ma family. Although Ma Ma Hongshan now intends to repair the relationship with us regardless of previous suspicions, I always feel that this matter is a bit strange."

"Master is gone, and Eighth Junior Brother has not yet formed a core. Such a large foundation of Mount Tuoyun Mountain is now on my shoulders alone. I have to be cautious. I hope you, Senior Brother, can understand."

"That's fine. Since you have already decided, I won't say anything more. Li Yuxia and I will go to Mount Luoyun Mountain. Haha! Anyway, this old bone of mine won't live for many more years, so I'm not afraid of what the Ma family can do to me!"

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Brother!" After Feng Feng Yangde finished speaking, he bowed to Liang Liang Wenxu again.

Looking at Liang Liang Wenxu's departing back, Feng Feng Yangde turned his gaze to the Mount Tuoyun Mountain under his feet for a long while, before walking back to his cave dwelling with his hands behind his back, somewhat reluctantly.

Deep in the Fuyun Mountain Range, on Lin Tianyu Mountain.

Hearing Huo Feng, dressed in red, was drinking tea and talking with the Golden Feather Demon Emperor in a cave dwelling.

"Uncle Golden Feather has been here for a thousand years, so you must have wanted to go back long ago. If I can get a chance in the tower this time, after I go back, I think Third Uncle, you don't need to stay here for too long!" Hearing Huo Feng smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth and took another sip of the spirit tea on the table.

"Since Uncle Golden Feather likes this spirit tea, I have some here, so I'll give them all to you. A friend of mine has plenty of this kind of spirit tea. When I have time, I will get some more for you."

In the council hall of Mount Funiu Mountain, Song Song Qingming, sitting at the head, was carefully examining several low-tier spirit talismans in his hand, and the expression on his face seemed somewhat heavy.

Just as the two were talking, a member of the Song family walked quickly into the council hall and said to Song Song Qingming, who was sitting above: "Reporting to the Old Ancestor, we have just verified the bloodline. This person is indeed a descendant of the Nineteenth Uncle."

"Then wait for them to come over and ask in detail!"

Song Song Yuanfang replied calmly: "The one who brought the child said that they walked all the way from Mount Tuoyun Mountain. This child didn't know his life story at first, and only learned about it from his mother half a year ago."

Back then, Song Xinhe only went out to travel after getting Song Song Qingming's consent. As a result, he unfortunately fell outside, and in the end, even his bones could not be found. When Song Song Qingming learned of this, he also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"When the Nineteenth Uncle left home back then, although I was still young, I had seen him. The child is indeed somewhat similar to him. I have arranged for someone to take him to the Ancestral Hall to verify his bloodline, and there should be news soon."

"Are you still planning to break into the Tongtian Tower?"

Not long ago, Song Song Qingming, who was in seclusion, suddenly received a sound transmission from Song Song Yuanfang, saying that two rogue cultivators, one big and one small, brought the spiritual items that used to be on Song Xinhe and came to Mount Funiu Mountain, claiming to be Song Xinhe's descendants outside. After hearing this news, Song Song Qingming was also somewhat surprised and hurriedly walked out of his cave dwelling.

The Nineteenth Uncle in Song Song Yuanfang's mouth was a cultivator of the "Xin" generation who had left the family for decades and had not returned, Song Xinhe.

After failing to compete for the Foundation Establishment Pill with Song Song Xintang back then, Song Xinhe left the family to practice. As a result, he had no news for decades, and the name engraved on the genealogy also lost its luster more than ten years ago.

"Since they are Xinhe's descendants, why did they come looking for us after so many years? Song Yuanfang, what do you think about this?" Song Song Qingming asked Song Song Yuanfang beside him softly, but his eyes were always fixed on the spirit talismans in his hand.

"Haha! This spirit tea brewed by human cultivators is indeed much better than that of our demon race, but it's just not enough to drink. I don't know if I will have a chance to drink these after you leave."

After learning that Song Xinhe had an accident, Song Song Qingming also sent several family cultivators to search for news of Song Xinhe in Mount Guiyun Square, Jinshan Square, and other places. He heard in Mount Guiyun Square that someone had indeed seen him decades ago, but Song Xinhe left there very early and didn't know where he went.

Although decades have passed, seeing the low-tier spirit talismans that Song Song Yuanfang handed to him, Song Song Qingming still recognized them quickly. These spirit talismans were indeed given to him by himself when Song Xinhe left home back then, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in his heart.

"This thing was sent by someone yesterday. I carefully compared it with the spirit talismans you gave me back then. The patterns are indeed similar, and they also have a magic tool that the Nineteenth Uncle used back then. I was also a bit unsure, so I had to invite you out." Seeing that Song Song Qingming's face seemed a bit ugly, Song Song Yuanfang hurriedly explained.

"The Tongtian Tower only opens once every three hundred years. It's not just our demon race that will go in then. Even if I am inside, I don't have much confidence to protect you. You have already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and can leave. Why do you have to take risks and wade into this muddy water?"

"Hmph! Your tone is always so big, you really deserve to be the bloodline of our Feather Clan. If you want to manage my affairs, you must first have this ability."

Hearing what Hearing Huo Feng said, the Golden Feather Demon Emperor was slightly stunned, then put down the teacup in his hand and smiled happily.

Hearing Huo Feng shook her head lightly when she heard this and said: "Our Feather Clan has never needed weaklings who go with the flow. Only the strong are qualified to go against the current. This is the fate of our Feather Clan and my fate. Even if I can escape for a while now, I will never be able to escape for a lifetime."

"Let them in!"

After getting Song Song Qingming's permission, this member of the Song family hurriedly walked to the outside of the council hall and led the two, one big and one small, into the council hall.

"The juniors pay their respects to the two seniors!"

Standing in front of Song Song Qingming was a somewhat green teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old. When he saw Song Song Qingming and Song Song Yuanfang sitting above with great majesty, although there was some fear of strangers in the teenager's eyes, the expression on his face was still calm and did not show any panic.

Not far from him stood a middle-aged man who was older. After this person came in, he kept his head down respectfully, and his eyes looking at Song Song Qingming and the two were always full of a trace of awe.

After staring at the teenager for a while, Song Song Qingming asked slowly and calmly: "What is your name?"

"Song Song Yuanhao!"

"Did your father take this name for you?"

"I don't know, mother never mentioned this matter."

"Where did you get these spirit talismans? Tell me in detail!" Song Song Qingming asked another question without changing his expression.

"My mother gave them to me, saying they were my father's relics, and asked me to come to Qinghe County to find a Song family cultivation family. Uncle Chen and I walked for more than half a year before finding this place." The teenager's voice was a bit soft, and there was clearly a trace of lack of confidence in his tone.

Song Song Yuanhao was born in Mount Tuoyun Mountain and grew up with his mother since he was a child. Except for a few relatives on his mother's side, he had never seen his father and rarely heard his mother mention him.

It was not until a year ago that his mother suddenly told him about his life story and asked Song Song Yuanhao to go to Qinghe County, thousands of miles away, to find his father's family members whom he had never met for help.

After learning about his father's affairs, Song Song Yuanhao was also at a loss for a while, and hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind to go to Qinghe County.

Regarding his own path and his mother's expectations, although Song Song Yuanhao was still young and had not traveled far, he still summoned the courage to follow a relative of his mother and found his way here.

From Mount Tuoyun Mountain to Qinghe County, it was ten thousand miles away. Both of them were just ordinary Qi Condensation cultivators. Song Song Yuanhao and the others also encountered many dangers along the way, and it took nearly half a year of walking and stopping to arrive in Qinghe County.

Because he didn't know much about his father, when Song Song Yuanhao heard his mother's description at first, he thought his father was just an ordinary cultivation family.

As a result, after the two arrived in Qinghe County, they accidentally learned that there was only one cultivation family surnamed Song in the entire Qinghe County, which was the current flourishing Core Formation immortal family, the Mount Funiu Mountain Song family.

Song Xinhe was only a Qi Condensation cultivator back then, and Song Song Yuanhao didn't expect that his father, whom he had never met, would come from a Core Formation immortal family with a noble status.

With a trace of anxiety, after staying in Qinghe County for a few days, Song Song Yuanhao still summoned the courage to walk up Mount Funiu Mountain. In order to find his father's family, he had already traveled ten thousand miles and risked his life to get here. No matter what the result would be, he had to try.

After Song Song Yuanhao and the two went up Mount Funiu Mountain, although they successfully met Song Song Yuanfang, the person in charge of the Song family, after a series of inquiries and verifications, the other party still hadn't expressed his position, which made Song Song Yuanhao feel a bit bottomless in his heart.

After hearing Song Song Yuanhao's answer, Song Song Qingming nodded slightly and said seriously: "Your father's name is Song Xinhe, and he ranked nineteenth in the family's 'Xin' generation. According to his age, you should be ranked in the 'Chang' generation."

"However, since your father has already taken a name for you, there is no need to change it. From now on, you will be ranked directly in the 'Yuan' generation on the genealogy!"

"Song Yuanhao, thank the senior quickly!" Hearing Song Song Qingming personally acknowledge Song Song Yuanhao's identity, the middle-aged man who came with him was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly reminded Song Song Yuanhao to step forward and kowtow to thank him!

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for giving me a name!"

Song Song Qingming waved his hand with a smile and said: "Get up, no need to be so polite."

"Song Yuanhao, how did your father die back then? Do you know about this?"

Hearing Song Song Qingming ask about his father, Song Song Yuanhao's face sank, and he slowly told the truth about Song Xinhe's fall back then in front of everyone.

After Song Xinhe left the family back then, he first went to Mount Guiyun Square to mix for a few years. Not long after, in the process of going out to hunt demonic beasts with others, he was fortunate enough to meet Song Song Yuanhao's mother, Chen Chen Yanyun. The two fell in love at first sight and soon became Dao companions. Song Xinhe simply followed her to Mount Tuoyun Mountain.

After the two were together, Song Xinhe also revealed his identity to Chen Chen Yanyun and asked Chen Chen Yanyun if she wanted to return to the Song family with him.

It's just that because Chen Chen Yanyun was used to the life of a rogue cultivator and couldn't let go of the several relatives and friends who had supported each other for many years in Mount Tuoyun Mountain, after the two discussed it, they decided to stay in Mount Tuoyun Mountain first.

More than ten years ago, Song Xinhe, who was over sixty years old, was fortunate enough to get a Marrow-Cleansing Pill in Mount Tuoyun Mountain, so he decided to go into seclusion to impact the Foundation Establishment stage. He didn't want Song Xinhe to risk his life to establish the foundation this time, but in the end, his luck was not enough and he failed to establish the foundation.

Not only that, in the process of establishing the foundation, because several meridians in his body were hit by the backlash of spiritual energy, he was seriously injured, and in the end, he could not even save his life and fell directly in the cave dwelling of seclusion.

Chen Chen Yanyun was pregnant with Song Song Yuanhao before Song Xinhe went into seclusion. Originally, the two had agreed that no matter whether Song Xinhe could successfully establish the foundation, after the child was born, they would say goodbye to their relatives and friends and return to Qinghe County to spend their later years together. He didn't want Song Xinhe to suddenly fall in the cave dwelling.

The death of his Dao companion after failing to establish the foundation was also a great blow to Chen Chen Yanyun. After giving birth to Song Song Yuanhao, except for the name left by Song Xinhe, she rarely mentioned the past of his father Song Xinhe in front of Song Song Yuanhao.

The mother and son depended on each other for more than ten years. They thought they would spend their lives plainly on Mount Tuoyun Mountain like this. It was not until Song Song Yuanhao grew up and was suddenly discovered to have spiritual roots and embarked on the path of cultivation that the change of fate allowed him to know the identity of his father Song Xinhe again.

Although the probability of low-tier cultivators combining to give birth to children with spiritual roots is higher than that of mortals, it is also very rare. Chen Chen Yanyun didn't expect that her only child, Song Song Yuanhao, would be a person with spiritual roots. After she knew about this, she was also overjoyed.

Although Song Song Yuanhao had been tested for spiritual roots several years ago, because Chen Chen Yanyun was only a rogue cultivator and did not have a spiritual root testing disk, she could not know Song Song Yuanhao's specific spiritual root attributes. She could only judge his approximate spiritual root attributes through the speed of his early cultivation techniques like most rogue cultivators.

She was an ordinary rogue cultivator herself, and she had to support Song Song Yuanhao's cultivation. The mother and son's life was also somewhat tight. Most of the spiritual items left by Song Xinhe were soon sold by Chen Chen Yanyun and exchanged for spirit stones to supply Song Song Yuanhao's cultivation. Only the few low-tier spirit talismans and a mid-grade flying sword he brought last were left.

In order not to delay Song Song Yuanhao's daily cultivation, Chen Chen Yanyun also took risks in recent years to go out to hunt demonic beasts with others. She didn't want Chen Chen Yanyun to be seriously injured in the process of hunting demonic beasts two years ago. Although she saved her life, it was difficult to recover in a short time.

When Chen Chen Yanyun was injured, Song Song Yuanhao was still young and his cultivation was not high. The mother and son suddenly lost their source of income. If it weren't for the help of several relatives and friends in Mount Tuoyun Mountain, their life would be difficult to continue, and there would be no extra spirit stones to supply Song Song Yuanhao's daily cultivation.

In desperation, Chen Chen Yanyun had the idea to send the child back to the Song family in Qinghe County to seek help from his father's family members, hoping that he could have a better cultivation environment.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, Song Song Yuanhao's personal cultivation talent is not low. Since he started practicing, Song Song Yuanhao has only practiced for less than five years and has broken through to the third layer of Qi Condensation, far exceeding the cultivation speed of ordinary rogue cultivators.

Although Chen Chen Yanyun still didn't know Song Song Yuanhao's specific spiritual roots, she could still guess that this child was very likely to be a three-spiritual-root cultivator with good spiritual root talent like his father Song Xinhe.

Becoming a rogue cultivator, although he can be happy for a lifetime, he can only linger in the Qi Condensation stage like himself in the end.

For the sake of Song Song Yuanhao's future path, although Chen Chen Yanyun had ten thousand reluctances in her heart, she still gritted her teeth and decided to let Song Song Yuanhao return to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. Perhaps this child would have a chance to complete what his father Song Xinhe didn't do back then.

Knowing that Song Xinhe fell because he risked his life to force the establishment of the foundation, Song Song Qingming was also full of surprises. He didn't expect that Song Xinhe, who was somewhat hesitant to speak in front of him back then, would have such great courage to risk his life to impact the Foundation Establishment stage.

When Song Xinhe went down the mountain to practice back then, Song Song Qingming advised him not to give up his path easily. He didn't expect that he would finally choose to risk his life to impact the Foundation Establishment stage.

Thinking of the unintentional words of encouragement he gave back then, which finally cost this family junior his life, Song Song Qingming couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart.

The path of cultivation is unpredictable, and some people can force the establishment of the foundation, but more ordinary cultivators don't have such good luck. The reality of the path of cultivation is cruel after all, and only a small number of people can be favored by heaven.

Looking at Song Song Yuanhao, who was somewhat similar to Song Xinhe, Song Song Qingming's eyes also had a few more traces of pity. Although the path was not smooth and he finally fell outside, Song Xinhe could still have descendants in this life, which could be regarded as another kind of favor from heaven for him.

"Song Yuanhao, since you are a member of my Song family, you can practice on the mountain with peace of mind from now on. As long as you have the treatment that Song family cultivators should have, you will have it. Your father still left a lot of merits in the family's Golden Pavilion back then. You can inherit these directly."

"Today you can return to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan. I think your father will be comforted if he has a spirit in heaven. I am also an elder who watched your father grow up. This mid-grade spirit stone is a meeting gift for you. I hope you can complete your father's last wish in the future and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Seeing the shiny spirit stone that Song Song Qingming waved his magic power to send in front of him, Song Song Yuanhao, who had never seen a mid-grade spirit stone, was also stunned on the spot. It took a long while before he excitedly stepped forward to take the spirit stone and kowtow to thank him.

"Seeing that you are also a bit tired today, go down and rest first. In a few days, I will arrange for someone to accompany you to Mount Tuoyun Mountain to transport your father's bones back to Mount Funiu Mountain for reburial."

"After the family cultivators pass away, they are all buried in the cultivator cemetery on the back mountain. You can't always let your father stay outside alone. Let him be with the family elders he is familiar with!"

Hearing Song Song Qingming's arrangement, Song Song Yuanhao nodded slightly, and then suddenly knelt down with a worried face.

"Old Ancestor! I want to ask you for one more thing!"

"We are all our own people, no need to be so polite. If you have anything, get up and say it!"

Hearing Song Song Qingming's words, Song Song Yuanhao, who was kneeling on the ground, did not get up, but said with some anxiety: "Mother's injuries have not yet healed. I want to ask the Old Ancestor to allow me to take her back to the family for recuperation."

"Hmm! It's rare for you to have such filial piety. Don't worry about this. Since your mother married into the Song family, she is naturally a member of my Song family. Although your father is gone, Mount Funiu Mountain is always a home for you."

"Your mother's injuries have not healed, and it may be difficult to bear the long-distance travel. Later, let Song Yuanfang take you to the Golden Pavilion to collect some healing pills. When you arrive at Mount Tuoyun Mountain, discuss it well with your mother. As long as she is willing, you can take her back together."

"Thank you, Old Ancestor!" Hearing Song Song Qingming agree to his request, Song Song Yuanhao hurriedly kowtowed to thank him and stood up happily.

Because he was born as a low-tier rogue cultivator and had no father since he was a child, Song Song Yuanhao's feelings for his mother were also inseparable. He did not forget his mother who had shared weal and woe with him just because he came to the Song family and enjoyed different treatment.

Seeing that Song Song Yuanhao always had filial piety in his heart, Song Song Qingming was also very satisfied. After knowing that Song Song Yuanhao was Song Xinhe's child, he had already secretly made up his mind to make up for the family's debt to Song Xinhe back then. As long as this child could successfully practice to a suitable time for Foundation Establishment in the future, Song Song Qingming would definitely find a way to support him.

When Song Xinhe established the foundation back then, the Song family was not a Core Formation immortal family and had no way to get the Foundation Establishment Pill. Now Song Song Qingming has broken through to become a Core Formation cultivator. It is not so difficult for him to support a junior to establish the foundation.

Knowing that Song Xinhe had descendants, Song Song Qingming was also very happy. The next day, he specially arranged for the family to hold an ascension ceremony for Song Song Yuanhao to celebrate for him.

Knowing that Song Xinhe had descendants who returned to the family, those family members who had a good relationship with Song Xinhe back then also rushed to the family Ancestral Hall to give Song Song Yuanhao a gift of returning home.

After the entry ceremony was completed, seeing Song Song Yuanfang take Song Song Yuanhao to the back hall to test his spiritual roots, Song Song Qingming also followed in, wanting to see what Song Song Yuanhao's spiritual root qualifications were.

Seeing the spiritual root testing disk that Song Song Yuanfang had already cast a spell to drive in front of him, Song Song Yuanhao was also somewhat excited. Although his cultivation had reached the third layer of Qi Condensation, Song Song Yuanhao had not formally tested his spiritual roots. He had always practiced cultivation techniques according to his mother's guidance. He also always wanted to know his true spiritual root attributes.

Song Song Yuanhao placed one hand on the spiritual root testing disk, and soon a black spiritual light appeared on the testing disk.

"This... this is, a variant spiritual root!"
