After thinking about it, Song Qingming decided not to settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving in the Liangzhou region, Song Qingming’s storage artifact was already filled with many spiritual items, and the spirit stones he brought were not many left. Only then did he take the initiative to embark on the return journey to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was alone on the return trip, Song Qingming had traveled back and forth several times and was very familiar with the route, so he crossed the \"Phantom Sea Desert\" and returned to the Wei Kingdom without encountering any danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming, who returned smoothly to \"Mount Funiu,\" brought back many high-grade cultivation pills and shared many with Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three soon closed their doors to cultivate one after another, returning to their usual days of diligent cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flies, and years pass like a shuttle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, another ten years of peaceful days had passed. — Ten years later, in a cave dwelling in the Wu Kingdom on the southern border of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man in green clothes was concentrating his magic power with a focused expression, and a faint golden light was radiating from his body, clearly attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the young man, who was trying hard to control his magic power to condense the Core, suddenly had his magic power dissipate, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Immediately after, the golden light covering his body gradually dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the Core he had just condensed in his body slowly disperse and melt back into Core liquid, the young man who failed to form the Core couldn't help but sigh with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What Seventh Great-Uncle said is true; this step of forming the Core is indeed not easy to get through. Even if my spiritual root aptitude is better, this first attempt at forming the Core didn't get me any further than them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man sat in place and pondered for a long time. After recalling the process of his failure, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he picked up a healing pill he had prepared and placed it directly into his mouth, starting to refine the pill to treat his injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a month later, feeling that his injuries had improved a lot, the young man walked out of the cave dwelling door. After taking a look at the long-lost sunlight outside, he turned and came to another cave dwelling not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your injuries haven't healed yet, why did you come out so soon? Could it be that you don't want to form the Core anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the young man could release the voice transmission talisman he had just held in his hand, a voice suddenly came from the cave dwelling. Immediately after, a figure wearing a green robe that covered most of his face appeared out of thin air in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the green-robed person, the young man hurriedly stepped forward to bow, \"This junior is incompetent and failed to form the Core, disappointing you, Senior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the green-robed person waved his hand indifferently, \"I already told you that forming the Core is not easy. Your failure was already within my expectations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I said I would let you succeed in forming the Core, and I will definitely be able to do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, don't forget what you promised me before. Otherwise, even if you succeed in forming the Core in the future, I still have a way to make you return to the Foundation Establishment stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, please rest assured. Although my cultivation is low, I am not an ungrateful person. My life was saved by you back then; otherwise, I would have already died. Even if you asked me to risk my life to repay you, I wouldn't frown.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the young man in front of him speak with such determination, the green-robed person was unmoved and chuckled, \"Haha! There are many ungrateful people in this world. It’s not something you can make me believe with just a few words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to repay me, you must first have the qualifications to do so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! I have something else to go out for. You should go back to the cave dwelling to heal your injuries. Take these pills first, and come find me when your injuries are mostly healed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, the green-robed person threw two white porcelain bottles to the young man, then ignored him and turned to walk back to his cave dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man who received the porcelain bottles looked at the green-robed person who was walking away and didn't say anything more. He just bowed to the back of the person who was leaving, then turned and left. — Wei Kingdom, Qinghe County, Mount Funiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, a crimson-red voice transmission talisman representing an emergency message flew directly toward the towering \"Mount Funiu\" and landed in the hands of a Song family cultivator guarding the Law Enforcement Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song family disciple who received the spiritual talisman saw that it was an emergency message and hurriedly dropped his work to rush to the place where the family elders were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, this voice transmission talisman reached the hands of Song Yuanfang, who was busy in the family’s \"Discussion Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Husband, where did something go wrong? Why would such an urgent request for help be sent suddenly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Leqing, who was sitting on the side helping Song Yuanfang manage affairs, saw the red voice transmission talisman in her husband’s hand and immediately asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Song family became a Core Formation immortal family, they had dominated the northeast of the Wei Kingdom for more than a hundred years. Since the demonic beast turmoil, the family territory had been very peaceful and nothing major had happened. In recent years, such emergency voice transmission talismans had rarely been seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuanfang, who opened the voice transmission talisman, glanced at the content inside and replied with a slightly solemn expression: \"It’s a request for help from Jinshan Market. A third-grade demonic king suddenly appeared near the market and is attacking the protective mountain array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The situation is a bit urgent. I must go and inform the Old Ancestor first. I’ll trouble you with the matters here, my lady!\" After saying this, Song Yuanfang left the \"Discussion Hall\" and walked quickly toward the top of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, Song Yuanfang arrived outside Song Qingming’s cave dwelling at the top of the mountain. Seeing that there seemed to be no change in the cave dwelling where he was in closed-door cultivation, Song Yuanfang thought for a moment and turned to come to the cave dwelling of Song Qingyu not far away, sending the voice transmission talisman inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, outside \"Jinshan Market\" in Pingyang County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white rhinoceros, several zhang tall and covered in hard armor, was leading hundreds of low-grade demonic beasts outside the market, constantly attacking the market array that was blocking their advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure radiating from this leading white rhinoceros had already reached the mid-stage of Core Formation, and each of its attacks caused the \"Jinshan Market\" protective mountain array to emit a violent vibration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hundreds of cultivators hiding in the market saw the leading \"White Rhino Demonic King\" outside, and each of them had a bit of fear on their faces. They dared not go out to stop it and could only hide in the array to organize cultivators to operate the array to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because \"Jinshan Market\" was located in the relatively remote northeast direction, since its creation, except for the once-in-a-century demonic beast turmoil, it had rarely been attacked by demonic kings above the third grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew where this \"White Rhino Demonic King\" had suddenly appeared from. A few days ago, it first killed several teams of loose cultivators who went out to hunt demons, and now it had directly led its demonic beast army south to attack \"Jinshan Market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the city wall of the market, several Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed there were looking at everything happening in front of them with worry, but they were helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Cao, this demonic king is so powerful, I’m afraid we won't be able to hold on for long. If the array is broken, neither of us will escape. Should we use the spiritual talisman to block the demonic king and buy some time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! This spiritual talisman can only be used in a desperate situation. Now is not the time. Hold the array first. When the Old Ancestor from Mount Funiu comes, we will be safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man standing in front, named Cao Linglong, was the current head of the Cao family in Pingyang County and also the cultivator with the highest cultivation in \"Jinshan Market,\" having reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the suggestion from a Foundation Establishment cultivator beside him to use the third-grade low-tier spiritual talisman stored in the market, Cao Linglong thought for a moment and immediately shook his head to refuse the other party’s suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This third-grade spiritual talisman stored in the market was a spiritual item bestowed by the Core Formation Old Ancestor of \"Mount Funiu\" back then, and he had instructed that it should only be used at critical moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he knew that the protective mountain array outside was already somewhat dangerous, Cao Linglong gritted his teeth and shook his head, not choosing to use this important trump card rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Cao, now is not the time to be impulsive. I hope you can think more about the other cultivators in the market and don't hesitate anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the other party was desperately trying to persuade him, a sword light suddenly appeared in the south of \"Jinshan Market\" and flew toward this side quickly. Seeing this scene, Cao Linglong’s face immediately showed joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! Reinforcements are here. I wonder which Core Formation Old Ancestor from Mount Funiu is coming this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the speed of this golden light clearly exceeded the category that a Foundation Establishment cultivator should have, it was definitely a Core Formation Old Ancestor who had come. Before Cao Linglong could speak, a Foundation Establishment cultivator beside him shouted happily. Hearing the other party’s words, Cao Linglong reached out and touched the beard at the corner of his mouth, replying confidently: \"This sword light is so sharp, it must be an expert who cultivates the way of sword cultivation. The person coming should be Old Ancestor Qingyu from Mount Funiu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is rumored that Old Ancestor Qingyu’s cultivation has already reached the peak of the fifth level of Core Formation, only one step away from breaking through to the sixth level. Moreover, she cultivates the way of sword cultivation, so even facing a late-stage Core Formation great demonic king, she would not be at a disadvantage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, the Old Ancestor has come to help in person, so this demonic king is afraid it is looking for its own death. Fellow Daoists, don't miss this good opportunity. Prepare to fight; we can take this opportunity to perform well in front of the Old Ancestor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Cao Linglong’s encouragement, the several Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him were refreshed and hurriedly ordered the many Qi Refining stage cultivators stationed in the market to prepare to counterattack the demonic beast army outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Song Qingyu stepping on a flying sword and attacking from a distance with a sharp sword light, the \"White Rhino Demonic King,\" which had not been able to break through the \"Jinshan Market\" protective mountain array, immediately changed direction and used the hard horn on its head to block the other party’s sword light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You beast! How dare you invade my Song family territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingyu, who had just arrived holding the \"Xuanming Golden Light Sword,\" glanced at the \"White Rhino Demonic King\" in front of her and scolded angrily. Her natal flying sword split into five again, and she slashed at the other party from five different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Song Qingyu’s sharp attack, the \"White Rhino Demonic King\" was also unhurried. A five-colored spiritual light shot out from above the horn on its head, turning into a protective shield to block its whole body, wanting to forcibly take Song Qingyu’s blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what it didn't expect was that Song Qingyu’s cultivation was clearly higher than its own. This five-colored shield did not completely block the other party’s attack. After the sword light penetrated the shield, it left several wounds on the \"White Rhino Demonic King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the other party’s flying sword was so sharp that it easily broke through its proud defensive shield, the \"White Rhino Demonic King\" was shocked. It directly abandoned the demonic beast army behind it and turned to flee quickly to the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the other party retreated after only a few rounds of fighting with her, it was also beyond Song Qingyu’s expectations. She hurriedly stepped on her flying sword and chased after it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two fought while running and chased for nearly a hundred miles. Seeing that they were about to go deep into the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, Song Qingyu stopped the pursuit with some unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this \"White Rhino Demonic King\" had average supernatural powers, it hid a defensive magic treasure on its body that was quite powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the fact that the demonic king’s physical body was also very strong, even after taking dozens of Song Qingyu’s swords, it only suffered some non-fatal minor injuries and finally managed to escape successfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Failing to kill the opponent successfully, Song Qingyu showed some regret on her face, but she didn't stay too long and immediately controlled the flying sword under her feet to return to \"Jinshan Market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Song Qingyu returned, Cao Linglong and others stationed in the market had already led the cultivator side to repel the attack of those low-grade demonic beasts and drove them all back to the northern Floating Cloud Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Song Qingyu returning alone on her flying sword, several people hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Old Ancestor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingyu glanced at the battlefield below and asked Cao Linglong directly: \"You should be from the Cao family, right? How are the casualties this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Linglong replied immediately:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to Senior, this demonic king came too suddenly. Although we activated the protective mountain array in time, there were still many cultivators and mortals nearby who could not retreat into the market in time and died miserably at the hands of the demonic beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Including the later battle with the demonic beasts, a total of 79 cultivators and more than 260 mortals died or were injured this time. The injured have all been sent to the rear treasury for treatment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All cultivators who died in battle, whether they are family cultivators nearby or loose cultivators living in the market, will be compensated according to the market rules, and the injured will also be given healing pills in time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After you have handled it, remember to submit a copy of the list and accounts to Mount Funiu for backup and filing. This matter must not be delayed or neglected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, Jinshan Market is still the front line of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range. From now on, you must send more cultivators to investigate the movements of the demonic beasts and make preparations in time. You must never be as careless as this time again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Song Qingyu was speaking, her gaze toward Cao Linglong also revealed a trace of coldness, making this head of the Cao family feel an invisible pressure on his back. He nodded repeatedly and replied: \"Old Ancestor, please rest assured. From now on, we will definitely strengthen our guard and will not let the demonic beasts succeed so easily again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Song Qingyu glanced at the few people and didn't say anything more. Her magic power moved, and she turned into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Qingyu left, Cao Linglong and the others, whose foreheads were already slightly sweating, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and hurriedly turned to walk toward the market treasury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Qingyu left \"Jinshan Market,\" she rushed back to Qinghe County. Just as she passed through the \"Mount Funiu\" protective mountain array, she suddenly saw a five-colored glow rising from the top of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could this be Seventh Brother breaking through his cultivation!\" Seeing the abnormal celestial phenomenon on the top of the mountain, Song Qingyu hurriedly controlled the flying sword under her feet and approached the location of the glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning from the \"Donghuang Kingdom\" cultivation world, Song Qingming brought back many pills and spiritual items needed for cultivation. The three Core Formation Old Ancestors of the Song family had also had significant growth in their cultivation in these ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the cultivation of both Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan had successfully risen to the peak bottleneck, and they had both closed their doors to attempt to break through their own cultivation realms one after another a year ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were both in closed-door cultivation to break through their cultivation, Song Qingming was only breaking through from the seventh level of Core Formation to the eighth level, a small realm breakthrough, which was much easier than Huang Siyuan breaking through from the third level of Core Formation to the fourth level, directly crossing into the mid-stage of Core Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after seeing the five-colored glow on the top of the mountain, Song Qingyu’s first reaction was that the person who triggered this celestial phenomenon should be Song Qingming, who chose to close his doors earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when she arrived under the glow, Song Qingyu found that her previous guess was a bit wrong. This glow did not come from the cave dwelling where Song Qingming was in closed-door cultivation, but from another cave dwelling not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a green-clothed back standing not far in front of the cave dwelling, Song Qingyu, who had just arrived here, immediately showed a smile and walked over quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventh Brother! I just thought this movement was caused by you. I didn't expect it to be Sister-in-law who broke through her cultivation first. It seems that the two of us still need to work harder in our cultivation, otherwise, we will be caught up by Sister-in-law sooner or later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming, who was looking at the glow in the sky, shook his head with a smile and said: \"When cultivation reaches the Core Formation stage, many times breaking through cultivation also depends on one’s own understanding of cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, if the opportunity has not arrived, even if you cultivate diligently, it is impossible to be one step faster than others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't look at me as if I’m not far from breaking through my cultivation, but a miss is as good as a mile. If I can't find the opportunity to break through my cultivation, even if I close my doors for another ten years, it will be difficult to achieve anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is Siyuan who closed her doors this time. At first, we were not optimistic, but I didn't expect that she would gain an opportunity and realize the opportunity to break through the bottleneck, succeeding in one go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you said is right. If the opportunity arrives in the future, it is not strange that Siyuan’s cultivation will exceed yours and mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Qingming finished speaking, seeing that there was nothing wrong here, he turned and patted Song Qingyu on the shoulder, who was still lost in thought. The two soon walked together toward the \"Hui Xian Pavilion\" not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuanfang came up just now. I heard him say that you went to Jinshan Market. How is the situation there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Song Qingming ask about \"Jinshan Market,\" Song Qingyu’s expression changed slightly and she said slowly: \"I don't know where a mid-stage Core Formation demonic king ran from to besiege the market, which scared those people of the Cao family enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I fought with it, but I didn't expect that guy to be very cunning. As soon as I fought with it, it immediately fled to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range. I chased it all the way but couldn't do anything to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although this demonic king’s strength is average, its intelligence is no less than the Cloud Crane Demonic King of the past. It knows that if it can't beat me, it will decisively flee. Although it was driven away by me this time, I am afraid it will come again next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming thought for a moment and said directly: \"This demon has never appeared before. It should be a demonic king from outside with no background.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After Siyuan leaves her closed-door cultivation, we will find an opportunity to go north together to see if we can find its lair and kill this demon. Otherwise, with this hidden danger, it will be difficult for us to feel at ease at home next time we go out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although Jinshan Market is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is too close to Pingyang County. Every time it encounters a demonic beast attack, it will affect the cultivators and mortals nearby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that we have enough manpower, we should find a way to set up several more lines of defense to block the demonic beast army in the north and solve this problem. Otherwise, next time there is a demonic beast turmoil, Pingyang County will be in crisis again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventh Brother, do you mean we should take the initiative to attack north?\" Hearing what Song Qingming said, Song Qingyu asked with some surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Wei Kingdom cultivation world was unified by the \"Xiaoyao Sect,\" for thousands of years, facing the threat of demonic beasts in the north, except for a very small part of the time when they occupied some advantages, most of the time they were clearly at a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the leadership of the \"Xiaoyao Sect,\" the cultivators of the Wei Kingdom have basically only been able to defend passively in these years and rarely take the initiative to go deep into the Floating Cloud Mountain Range to compete with demonic beasts for territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Song Qingyu understood his meaning, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said: \"Last time during the demonic beast turmoil, the sect severely damaged the demonic forces of Golden Feather Mountain. Now that their strength has not fully recovered, it is the best time for us to develop northward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister Bai has been in closed-door cultivation for so long, it is estimated that she is not far from breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm. If she can successfully advance to the Nascent Soul realm this time, the sect will inevitably begin to expand its territory, and we must also make preparations in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingyu heard this and said with some confusion: \"Seventh Brother, is Senior Sister Bai really breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm after being in closed-door cultivation for so long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last time I went to the sect, I specifically asked Junior Brother Fang, but he was hesitant and didn't explain it clearly. I thought I had guessed wrong.\"  \u003C\u002Fp>",4205,"2026-06-14T04:03:38.943Z","2026-06-18T03:38:37.614Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ab6569cc2f650b3e27266347f0d95adecd546af75787c93d761f3bc0093d1b5c","the-qinghe-song-clan-chapter-734","the-qinghe-song-clan-chapter-732",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
