Chapter 664: Soul Transformation Cultivator, Cyan Stone Tablet (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Before going down the mountain, although Song Qingming knew some things about the "Tai Xu Sect" through Zheng Xingyun, the other party had never mentioned the "Jade Profound Scripture" cultivation technique inheritance that Song Qingming practiced to him.

Although Zheng Xingyun is also a disciple of the "Tai Xu Sect," he has never practiced this set of cultivation techniques. Not only him, but the vast majority of core disciples in the "Tai Xu Sect" have also never practiced this set of cultivation techniques.

Therefore, when Song Qingming asked about this matter, Zheng Xingyun could only let him wait patiently. After Lingxu Daoist left seclusion, he would naturally explain this matter to Song Qingming.

Now that he heard Lingxu Daoist mention the "Jade Profound Scripture" cultivation technique that he most wanted to know about on this trip, Song Qingming's eyes were also tightly fixed on the other party.

However, the next sentence from Lingxu Daoist made Song Qingming stand there in a daze.

"However, this Jade Profound Scripture cultivation technique, since it was founded by that predecessor ancestor, has only been passed down to the Jin Dan realm, and no follow-up cultivation technique has been left in the sect."

"Senior, are you saying that the Jade Profound Scripture no longer has a follow-up cultivation technique?"

Hearing what the other party said, Song Qingming also felt a chill in his heart, and his entire mood felt as if it had suddenly fallen from a high altitude to the bottom of the valley, revealing a face of depression.

He spent so much time, traveled tens of thousands of miles at the risk of danger, finally found this place, and even stayed to do farm work for more than half a year, only to get such an answer. How could he accept it in his heart?

Seeing Song Qingming's face change drastically, Lingxu Daoist seemed to have calculated it long ago, nodded to him and said: "It is indeed so. This cultivation technique has been passed down in the sect for so many years, and very few people have practiced it."

"However, in the last few hundred years, with the help of a spirit treasure, I have deduced a new path of cultivation from the Jade Profound Scripture, which has also given this cultivation technique a new way of inheritance."

"It's just that up to now, I have not yet fully deduced the follow-up cultivation technique. Therefore, I left some inheritances of the Jade Profound Scripture outside to lead you all here, which is also hoping that you all can help complete the follow-up cultivation technique of the Jade Profound Scripture together."

"Deduce the follow-up cultivation technique? This junior's current cultivation is only at the Jin Dan stage, how can I have such ability?"

Hearing that Lingxu Daoist actually invited himself to help deduce the follow-up cultivation technique of the "Jade Profound Scripture," Song Qingming was also stunned in his heart, and could not help but doubt whether he had heard the other party's meaning wrong.

You must know that in the cultivation world, cultivators who can independently deduce new cultivation techniques are all great cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above who have profound cultivation, and only then can they realize a new path of cultivation from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Song Qingming has practiced for so many years, and he has never heard of any Jin Dan cultivator around him who can deduce a new cultivation technique.

"Hehe! Don't be in a hurry. The reason I invited you all to help deduce the follow-up cultivation technique of the Jade Profound Scripture together is also because this cultivation technique is relatively special. Cultivation at the Jin Dan stage is naturally also able to help."

"Since you took the initiative to find this place, it also shows that you are indeed very eager to obtain the follow-up cultivation technique. You can go to the Tai Xu Palace with me to try. Rest assured, no matter what the result is, you will certainly gain something at that time."

After Lingxu Daoist finished speaking, he drank the spirit tea in his hand, smiled and waved his hand at Song Qingming, and walked toward the outside of the cave dwelling first.

Seeing this, Song Qingming also bit the bullet, got up, and followed behind him.

After the two walked out of the cave dwelling, Lingxu Daoist waved his hand, and a cluster of auspicious clouds gathered under the feet of the two. Immediately after, Song Qingming followed Lingxu Daoist and floated up, flying toward the other side of the mountain peak.

Feeling the high-tier cultivator's ability to easily control the heaven and earth origin energy to gather energy into clouds, Song Qingming also felt quite novel in his heart, and could not help but have a few more guesses about the cultivation of the Lingxu Daoist before his eyes.

The other party being able to do this so easily shows that it is very likely that he is precisely the Soul Transformation cultivator in the legends.

Having traveled outside for so many years, Song Qingming has also heard some rumors about Soul Transformation cultivators, knowing that they possess the means to control the heaven and earth origin energy at will.

On the entire "Donghuang Immortal Continent" continent, the only two human Soul Transformation cultivators known to everyone on the surface are two people.

These two people are, respectively, the Great Elder of the "Immortal Origin Sect," Golden Origin Chen Chen Laozu, who broke through to the Soul Transformation stage fifteen hundred years ago and has protected the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world for nearly two thousand years.

The other is the "Heavenly Imperial Sect" Supreme Elder — Chen Qingxuan, who broke through to the Soul Transformation stage six hundred years ago, whose cultivation has surpassed the others, and who is recognized as the number one expert of the human race in the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world, having already cultivated to the fourth layer of the Soul Transformation stage.

The "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world borders the Northern Border monster race directly to the north, and there is also the threat of monsters in the "Falling Star Sea" to the south, and there are quite a few high-tier demonic cultivators causing chaos within the territory.

It is precisely because these two human Soul Transformation Old Ancestors sit in town and lead the cultivators of the "Donghuang Kingdom" to resist the harassment of the monster race and demonic cultivators for thousands of years that the entire "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world has been able to develop so stably until now.

The reason why the Floating Yunshan Range cultivation world has been defeated by the monster race again and again for tens of thousands of years and lost its territory is also because there are not enough high-tier cultivators, and the overall strength is not as good as the monster race side.

If a Soul Transformation cultivator can appear on the human side to sit in town and integrate the power of all sects in the Floating Yunshan Range.

Then the human cultivators would not only be able to easily guard their current territory, but in the future, gathering strength to counterattack the monster race side and completely recover the mountain and river spirit lands of the entire Floating Yunshan Range is also something that can be done.

Compared with those formidable Nascent Soul great abilities in the cultivation world, only the Soul Transformation cultivators above them can be considered powerful figures in this world who can decide the fate of all living beings in one side.

Knowing that the Lingxu Daoist standing beside him might be a Soul Transformation cultivator, the look in Song Qingming's eyes looking at him was also full of a trace of worship.

In the entire cultivation world, for hundreds of millions of cultivators like Song Qingming, the purpose of everyone's cultivation is nothing more than to break through the Soul Transformation realm one day and then ascend to the upper realm to attain the Dao and longevity.

Cultivators like Lingxu Daoist who have already cultivated to the Soul Transformation realm are only one step away from the path of ascension, and naturally have also become the goal that Song Qingming strives for in his heart.

Lingxu Daoist took Song Qingming and rode the auspicious clouds under his feet, flying against the wind for a while, and soon arrived at a flat ground on the other side of the mountain peak.

Just as Lingxu Daoist put away the flying boat beside him, a streak of light suddenly flew over from a stone pavilion not far away, and a man in white with a cultivation of only the third layer of the Jin Dan stage appeared before the two quickly and bowed slightly to them.

"Fourth Senior Brother, Master asked me to pick him up!"

Seeing the person who came, Zheng Xingyun responded to the other party slightly, then turned to Song Qingming beside him and said: "This is Junior Brother Liu Yang. You go with him to see Master. I still have some work to do down the mountain, so I will go back first!"

After speaking, Zheng Xingyun did not wait for Song Qingming to respond and disappeared in place as a streak of light while riding the flying boat again.

Song Qingming, seeing this, nodded with a smile and immediately turned to bow to the white-clothed cultivator beside him.

"Then I will trouble Senior Brother Liu!"

Although the other party's cultivation was a bit lower than his and his age did not seem to be older than his, the seniority among fellow sect members in the cultivation world is all arranged according to who entered the sect first. Since Song Qingming had arrived here, he could only call the other party Senior Brother first.

Liu Yang, with a delicate face, looked at Song Qingming and hurriedly responded with a smile: "Junior Brother Song is too formal, come with me quickly!"

Liu Yang finished speaking and led Song Qingming to walk toward the stone pavilion. The two walked along the stone steps on the mountain road for about half a mile and soon arrived in front of a mountain wall.

After arriving here, Liu Yang waved his hand and released a purple sound transmission spirit talisman, which went directly into the mountain wall. A moment later, the mountain wall before the two changed, revealing the gate of a cave dwelling.

"Junior Brother Song, Master is waiting for you inside, you go in by yourself, I have something to do and will go busy first!" Liu Yang finished speaking and did not care about Song Qingming

Looking at the Daoist Lingxu who was looking at him calmly not far away, Song Qingming felt as if he had just had a big dream. It was clearly something that happened in an instant, but it made him feel as if he had experienced it for a long time, and a burst of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Are you alright!"

Hearing Daoist Lingxu's question, Song Qingming, whose face was still slightly pale, hurriedly squeezed out a smile and nodded.

"Senior, what evil object was that black energy transformed from just now? How could it be so powerful?"

Daoist Lingxu frowned slightly and said: "On this island, a Primordial Spirit of a True Demon from the Upper Realm is sealed. Just now, this demon used an illusion to disturb your mind, which made you almost fall into his trap for a moment.

You just arrived here and didn't know the situation, so you were completely unprepared and were taken advantage of by him to break through your mind. I will pass on a mental cultivation method to calm your heart and spirit. If there is such a situation again, you only need to recite this mental method silently, and you will be able to drive this demon god out of your body. There is no need to be too afraid of him."

After Daoist Lingxu finished speaking, he waved his hand and released a spiritual light that sank into Song Qingming's body. Immediately after, a very profound mental cultivation method for calming the heart flew out of Song Qingming's mind involuntarily.

"This island actually seals a True Demon from the Upper Realm. No wonder when I came, I heard someone say that the surroundings of the island were filled with demonic energy, as if a demon head had descended into the world. So that's how it is."

After silently reciting the mental cultivation method for calming the heart in his body, Song Qingming still felt a lingering fear at this moment.

A True Demon from the Upper Realm—this level of demon head, even if its cultivation base is suppressed by the power of the interface after descending to the lower realm, its strength is at least at the Soul Transformation level or above. With a casual flick of its finger, it could easily kill him, a small Jin Dan cultivator.

Tens of thousands of years ago, a very powerful True Demon from the Upper Realm invaded the Huayang Realm to refine a magic weapon, which triggered a war between immortals and demons, causing the realm to suffer heavy losses, and even many Soul Transformation cultivators were killed in battle.

Hearing Daoist Lingxu say that a Primordial Spirit of a True Demon from the Upper Realm was also sealed here, Song Qingming instantly thought of this matter and felt that these two things might be related. Daoist Lingxu, hearing this, nodded slightly and said: "The one suppressed on the island is a very powerful demon head from the Upper Realm. My Grand Void Gate has been avoiding the world here for years precisely to guard the seal on the island and prevent this demon head from coming out to cause trouble for the world.

However, so many years have passed, and the strength of this demon has also recovered quite a bit. In recent years, the sealing formation has also begun to loosen, and I don't know how long it can trap this demon head.

Sigh! If this demon is allowed to escape, I am afraid that this cultivation world will once again usher in a bloody storm, and I don't know how many living beings will suffer from this."

"Senior, since this demon has already been sealed, why not find a way to kill him directly to eliminate future troubles? Is it possible that even a Soul Transformation cultivator like you has no way to deal with him?"

"Hehe! How could the physical body of a True Demon from the Upper Realm be killed so easily? It's not that there is no way to kill this demon, but it does indeed require a lot of effort, and it's not something that can be done in a day or two.

We old fellows will naturally think of a way for this matter, so you don't need to worry about it for now. Come in with me first!" After Daoist Lingxu shook his head and sighed, he urged Song Qingming again and changed the topic.

Seeing this, Song Qingming did not think too much and hurriedly followed. The two soon walked into the Grand Void Palace and came to a cave dwelling inside that looked like a place for cultivators to go into seclusion.

In this cave dwelling, it looked much better than the place where Daoist Lingxu went into seclusion. There were many bookshelves and tables and chairs made of high-tier spiritual wood, and some night-luminescent pearls that were shining with white light were also placed on them.

The several portraits and calligraphy inscriptions hanging around were also covered with a layer of faint golden light, which was clearly not an ordinary mortal item.

After bringing Song Qingming to the middle of the cave dwelling, Daoist Lingxu raised his hand and waved gently toward the open space in front. A ripple rolled up in front of the two, and then a dazzling white light suddenly appeared.

After a while, the white light slowly dissipated, and an ancient bluestone stele more than a zhang high had already appeared in front of the two, with many ancient runes engraved on it.

Just by seeing this stele for the first time, Song Qingming had already been firmly attracted by it. The whole person seemed to have seen a very exquisite cultivation technique, and the spiritual energy in his body flowed rapidly involuntarily.

"This stele was passed down by cultivators from the Upper Realm when this world was first created. The runes on it are somewhat unfathomable and easily make people indulge in them inadvertently. When I first saw this stele inscription, I stayed here for a full month before walking out.

You have already practiced the Jade Profound Scripture technique, so it is a normal phenomenon that the spiritual energy in your body will have a reaction to the stele inscription. Don't be too nervous, just focus on comprehending the stele inscription."

Daoist Lingxu's sudden opening of his mouth woke up Song Qingming, who had just been indulged in it, and he hurriedly turned his head and moved his gaze away from the stele.

"Senior, can you let the junior study the technique you comprehended before?"

Hearing Song Qingming's request, Daoist Lingxu shook his head directly and said:

"Hehe! I am afraid that what I comprehended cannot help you much. Although everyone who comes here to comprehend this stele has practiced the Jade Profound Scripture, the subsequent techniques that each person finally comprehends are all different. What I comprehended cannot help you much.

Because I practiced sword cultivation techniques in my early years, what I comprehended was a set of Grand Void Sword Art. However, this technique has currently only been deduced to the late stage of Nascent Soul.

After that, I tried for nearly two hundred years, but I still couldn't find the way and was always unable to deduce the Grand Void Sword Art to the Soul Transformation stage. I don't know if this is because the path taken was wrong or if the timing was not right.

The techniques comprehended by other people who came here besides you are also all different. Some people can directly deduce the subsequent techniques to the Nascent Soul stage, while more people, after comprehending for a long time, can still only stay in the Jin Dan stage and cannot move forward. Almost everyone's results are different.

As for what kind of result you can comprehend, I don't know either. It can only depend on your personal opportunity and fortune in the future."

"So that's how it is. Thank you for your guidance, Senior!"

After hearing Daoist Lingxu's explanation, Song Qingming finally understood why he insisted on having him come over to try to deduce the subsequent techniques of the Jade Profound Scripture.

If it is said that the techniques deduced by everyone after comprehending the stele are all different, then there is no way to judge who is right.

Daoist Lingxu, as a Soul Transformation cultivator, has also deduced the technique to the Nascent Soul stage, but he still does not have much confidence in deducing the technique after the Nascent Soul stage, so he can only pin his hopes on predestined people like Song Qingming.

"The spiritual energy here is abundant, so it will not delay your daily cultivation. You can rest assured and comprehend the technique here. During this period, no one will come in to disturb you.

If a long time passes and you still haven't come out, I will come in to pick you up and take you out. You can also rest assured about this."

After Daoist Lingxu reminded Song Qingming one last time, he turned around and took the initiative to walk out of this cave dwelling, leaving this place to Song Qingming alone.

After Daoist Lingxu left, Song Qingming did not rush to comprehend the stele in front of him immediately, but raised his eyes to scan the surroundings of the cave dwelling, then found a clean chair and sat down, calming his heart to think carefully about what Daoist Lingxu had said to him just now.

If it comes to spiritual root talent, Song Qingming can only be considered as having ordinary low-tier aptitude. However, in his cultivation over these years, Song Qingming's own insights into cultivation techniques are not worse than the average person.

Whether it is the "Jade Profound Scripture" practiced before Core Formation, or the "Five Elements Profound Gang Art" switched to later, or the "Heaven-Reaching Ten Thousand Spirits Art" obtained from the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Song Qingming's speed in practicing these techniques is actually not particularly bad, and he also has some unique insights of his own, but it is only because his own aptitude is relatively ordinary that it appears not so outstanding.

After sorting out some ideas in his mind, Song Qingming stood up and came to the front of the "cyan stele."

After approaching the "cyan stele," before Song Qingming could circulate the magic power in his body, the spiritual energy in his body suddenly began to become restless, and a layer of faint green spiritual light also appeared on Song Qingming's whole body.

These are all the spiritual energy of the "Jade Profound Scripture" technique that Song Qingming has practiced for many years. At this moment, after approaching the stele, it was also somewhat out of control and came out directly by itself.

Seeing this, Song Qingming calmed down, controlled the strong desire in his body to retract the magic power on his body, then sat cross-legged on the spot, took out a second-tier top-quality Heart-Clearing Talisman, and stuck it on his body.

Immediately after, Song Qingming took the initiative to close his eyes, and his mouth began to silently recite the mental cultivation method for calming the heart that Daoist Lingxu had just passed to him.

Until the time of a stick of incense passed, Song Qingming calmed down all the spiritual energy that was very restless in his body, and a few more points of clarity appeared in his eyes.

After calming his heart and concentrating his spirit, Song Qingming stood up with a calm face and cast a spell to cover the "cyan stele" with his own magic power.

However, this time, Song Qingming did not use the green spiritual light in his body that echoed with the "cyan stele," but used the "Five Elements Profound Gang Art," the technique he switched to, to try to comprehend the "cyan stele."

As a white light covered the "cyan stele," the ancient runes in front of Song Qingming immediately emitted a burst of spiritual light, and then began to dance slowly on the "cyan stele."

At this moment, Song Qingming's face also tightened, and he immediately began to concentrate all his attention, staring closely at the runes above, trying to comprehend the mysteries within with his heart. — Time flew by, and more than four years had passed since Song Qingming entered the Grand Void Palace to comprehend the "cyan stele."

On this day, outside the "Jade Profound Mountain" floating in mid-air, a cyan escape light suddenly flew over, passed through the mountain-protecting formation, and landed on the flat ground in front of the stone pavilion.

After a while, a young girl dressed in black jumped down from the flying boat. After taking a look at the surroundings, she discovered a figure sitting in the stone pavilion, so she walked quickly toward that side happily.

Just as the black-clothed woman walked into the stone pavilion, the white-clothed man who was meditating immediately opened his eyes, then smiled, stood up, and bowed to her.

"Hehe! Senior Sister Li, long time no see. I didn't expect that it would be you who returned."

"Junior Brother Liu, your cultivation base has also made a lot of progress. It seems that with your talent and Master's guidance on the side, it won't be long before you catch up with me." Seeing Liu Yang, the black-clothed woman also smiled and returned the bow.

"Senior Sister, please don't make fun of me. Who doesn't know that besides the few Senior Brothers on the mountain, Master likes you the most? If it weren't for you going out to travel, how would I have the opportunity to always follow Master here." Seeing the black-clothed woman praising him, Liu Yang hurriedly responded to the other party very modestly.

"It's been more than ten years, and your mouth has become much sweeter. It seems that Senior Sister didn't dote on you in vain back then. Take this; it's all good stuff I brought back for you from the outside."

The black-clothed woman nodded happily, then took out a storage bag from her body and threw it to the other party.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Li." Liu Yang, who had been on the mountain for a long time, also had a happy face when he saw the storage bag in his hand, and he hurriedly opened it and looked at it happily.

"Sigh! Just now under the mountain, I heard Fourth Senior Brother say that a new Junior Brother has come to the mountain recently. Have you seen him? How is his talent? Has he comprehended the technique inside the stele?"

Hearing the black-clothed woman's inquiry, Liu Yang hurriedly put away the storage bag in his hand and replied:

"Senior Sister Li is talking about Junior Brother Song, right? He is still inside the Grand Void Palace comprehending the stele and hasn't come out. It has already been more than four years. I estimate that in a while, Master should go in to pick him up."

"Junior Brother Song, also surnamed Song?"

Hearing Liu Yang's answer, the black-clothed woman could not help but be slightly stunned, revealing a few traces of surprise. (End of chapter)
