Chapter 742: Nascent Soul Phenomenon, Loose Cultivator Zhou Ziyang

Qinghe County, in the Huixian Pavilion on the top of "Mount Funiu."

Song Qingming, sitting by the window on the third floor, was watching a bamboo slip with great interest.

Huang Siyuan, who had not long come out of closed-door cultivation refining alchemy, walked toward him with a cup of freshly brewed spirit tea and placed it gently in front of Song Qingming.

"Husband, what kind of cultivation technique is recorded in this bamboo slip that makes you so interested?"

Seeing Song Qingming watching so intently that he didn't even notice the fragrant spirit tea placed in front of him, Huang Siyuan couldn't help but ask with curiosity.

Hearing Huang Siyuan’s question, Song Qingming immediately came back to his senses, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and smiled and waved his hand: "It’s not any powerful cultivation technique, just a scroll of a senior’s cultivation insights.

My cultivation has not been going well recently, so I wanted to find something helpful to me from it, which is why I was so engrossed."

After speaking, Song Qingming picked up the spirit tea brewed by Huang Si and took a sip, and then a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Since the Song family expanded their territory to the north, although they hadn't gone out much in the past two years, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan both had many things in their hands and rarely had time to be together.

It was only recently that they had some free time on their hands, so they spent a period of leisure time on the top of the mountain, which Song Qingming naturally cherished very much.

Hearing Song Qingming’s answer, Huang Siyuan showed a bit more interest: "When did you get the cultivation insights of a Nascent Soul senior, Husband? Why didn't you mention it?

I have also encountered some incomprehensible points in my cultivation recently. Can I borrow this item to take a look?"

"If you want it, of course you can. I have already copied a copy of this item, so you can just take this one!" Seeing that Huang Siyuan was also very interested in this, Song Qingming immediately handed the bamboo slip on the table to her.

"Siyuan, this cultivation insight was obtained by me unintentionally back then, and the identity of its owner has not been confirmed. Keep it well and don't let others see it, so as not to bring us unnecessary trouble."

Huang Siyuan, who took the bamboo slip, heard Song Qingming’s instructions and nodded quickly: "Husband, rest assured, I have noted it."

The two have been Dao companions for many years, and Huang Siyuan naturally understands her husband very well. Since Song Qingming specifically instructed her like this, the origin of this bamboo slip is mostly extraordinary, so she did not ask too many questions.

After putting away the bamboo slip, Huang Siyuan was about to turn around and pour another cup of spirit tea for Song Qingming, when she smiled and said: "Some time ago, I heard that Xuanfeng wanted to go out to practice, but you rejected him.

Others in the family whose cultivation has reached the level can go out to practice. Why do you alone not let him go out? Could it be that you are not at ease with him going out to practice?"

Song Xuanfeng is a descendant of Song Qingming’s direct bloodline. After his cultivation broke through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment last year, he immediately applied to the family to go out to travel.

However, this matter was rejected directly by Song Qingming, who used the excuse of the family’s insufficient manpower to ask him to go out to practice five years later.

For this reason, Song Xuanfeng was also unhappy in his heart and found Song Yuanfang several times to help plead for mercy, but Song Qingming never loosened his mouth to agree.

"This kid and Yuanhao, although they have some talent in cultivation and are faster than others, their temperament is far less steady than Xuanyu and the others. I did this to temper his temperament! You just came out of closed-door cultivation, how do you know about this? It’s not that the kid found you again, right?" Hearing Huang Siyuan suddenly mention Song Xuanfeng, Song Qingming asked back with some confusion.

Huang Siyuan heard this, smiled and shook her head slightly: "I heard it from Yuanfang. Don't think too much, and don't use this to talk about him later.

I just thought that since Xuanfeng wants to go out to practice, why don't you give him a chance and let him go to a safer place nearby to turn around? This way, he can fulfill his wish, and we don't have to worry too much."

Hearing Huang Siyuan’s suggestion, Song Qingming smiled and sighed: "I know what you mean, but if Xuanfeng is released, many things will not be as we want them to be.

Yuanhao went to break into the secret realm last time, and if he hadn't been lucky, he wouldn't have been able to come back. Yuanli also went out and hasn't seen anyone since. The ideas of these young people are different from ours.

In the family for so many years, Xuanfeng is the only one who has embarked on the immortal path and his aptitude is quite good. I, as an elder, really don't want to see him go out and encounter any danger. However, since you have spoken for him, I will consider this matter again. Later, I will discuss with Yuanfang to see where it is suitable for him to go."

Just as Song Qingming finished speaking, a sound of footsteps came from downstairs, and then a cultivator of the "Lin" generation who was guarding the door below walked up quickly.

"Report to the ancestor! The Great Elder has something to see you."

"Eh! It’s really a coincidence. Why did Yuanfang come just after I mentioned him? Hurry up and let him come up!"

Hearing that it was Song Yuanfang who wanted to see him, Song Qingming hurriedly waved his hand to signal him to come up. Not long after, Song Yuanfang, who was holding a sound transmission talisman, appeared in front of Song Qingming.

"Seventh Grand-Uncle, this is an emergency message from 'Mount Guyang' just received. I haven't had time to open it yet. It seems the sect has something urgent to find you." After Song Yuanfang finished speaking, he immediately handed the sound transmission talisman in his hand to Song Qingming in front of him.

Hearing that the sect had something urgent, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan immediately focused their attention on the sound transmission spirit talisman in his hand.

However, after Song Qingming opened the spirit talisman and took a look, the expression on his face did not change much, and he handed the spirit talisman directly to Huang Siyuan on the side.

Huang Siyuan, who took the sound transmission talisman, opened it and looked, but showed a bit of doubt: "Xu Shimei sent a message asking us to go to the sect, but why didn't she say what the specific matter was?"

Song Qingming heard this and answered calmly: "Since she didn't say it, it must be that this matter is not convenient to say in the letter. We will naturally know when we go."

"Things that are not convenient for us to say, could it be..."

After hearing Song Qingming’s answer, Huang Siyuan seemed to have thought of something, but she stopped halfway through her sentence and shifted her gaze to Song Qingming on the side.

Seeing this, Song Qingming smiled and nodded slightly, and then ordered Song Yuanfang in front of him: "Siyuan and I are going to Mount Guyang now. It may take some days and we won't be back too quickly. I leave the family to you.

Also, send a message to Yuanhao, Xuanfeng, and Yuanxue immediately, and let them return to the family and take people to White Lion Ridge to help garrison.

Tell Qingyu to start paying attention to the movements of the demonic beasts in the north from now on, and must not let the demonic beasts have any loopholes at this time."

"Seventh Grand-Uncle, should I tell the Aunt-Grandmother about you going to Mount Guyang?" Song Yuanfang asked after nodding in response.

Song Qingming nodded slightly and replied: "You can tell her directly, but except for you and Qingyu, don't let others know. Tell all the elders in the family that no matter what happens at Mount Guyang next, you are not allowed to discuss it arbitrarily. Whoever talks too much will be punished according to the clan rules."

Knowing that the matter was urgent, Song Qingming did not delay too much. After explaining to Song Yuanfang for a while, he immediately took Huang Siyuan and boarded the "Phantom Boat" to rush to the sect.

The two flew at high speed and soon arrived outside "Mount Guyang." Seeing that the mountain-protecting array had been started, Song Qingming did not have much surprise and flew directly to the entrance of the mountain gate.

Before the two could get close, three "Carefree Sect" Foundation Establishment disciples flew out of the mountain-protecting array and bowed to Song Qingming and the two.

"Two Uncle-Masters, the mountain-protecting array has been taken over by Uncle-Master Li and cannot be entered or exited at will. Please wait a moment. I have already sent someone to notify Uncle-Master to open the array."

Hearing what the three said, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan stopped immediately and waited for a long time before following these Foundation Establishment disciples through the array and entering Mount Guyang.

Just after passing through the mountain-protecting array, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan immediately saw a huge group of white clouds rolling on the top of "Guyang Peak," as if a huge spiritual energy vortex had formed in mid-air.

Song Qingming, who had witnessed Feng He forming the Nascent Soul back then, saw this similar heaven and earth phenomenon and immediately confirmed his guess in his heart, and said to Huang Siyuan on the side: "The heaven and earth phenomenon has been triggered. It seems that Senior Sister Bai has reached the last step of fetal transformation into the Nascent Soul. We will be able to see the result in at most a month."

"I didn't expect that after cultivating for so many years, I would have the honor to witness Senior Sister Bai forming the Nascent Soul today. This trip was really not in vain."

Hearing that the person triggering the heaven and earth phenomenon was Bai Yuxian, who had been in closed-door cultivation for many years and was breaking through to Nascent Soul, a look of excitement also appeared in Huang Siyuan’s eyes.

Having the opportunity to witness a cultivator breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm is not something that can be easily encountered in the immortal cultivation world. Regardless of success or failure, those who observe at close range can gain some valuable experience from it.

After Song Qingming and the two entered the mountain-protecting array, they went straight to "Guyang Peak." Along the way, they also saw many "Carefree Sect" disciples rushing here.

Song Qingming, who controlled the flying boat to arrive nearby, saw more than a dozen cultivators standing next to an open space on the west layer of the mountain peak, staring tightly at the sky not far away, and immediately leaned toward that side.

"Hehe! Junior Brother Song arrived very quickly."

The dozen or so people standing here were exactly the many Golden Core elders of the Carefree Sect. Whether they were in closed-door cultivation or out handling affairs, they all appeared here without exception.

Seeing Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan arrive, Zhao Mengling and Chu Fengping, who were standing in the crowd and discovered them first, immediately stepped forward to greet them.

"Senior Sister Zhao, Senior Brother Chu, Junior Sister Xu."

After greeting Zhao Mengling and the others one by one, Song Qingming unexpectedly discovered a familiar person he hadn't seen for a long time in the crowd, Li Xianyun.

Since parting in the East Sea immortal cultivation world back then, Song Qingming had never heard any news about him. He didn't expect to see Li Xianyun’s figure at "Mount Guyang" today. It’s just that, at this moment, Li Xianyun was standing quietly in place, staring at the heaven and earth phenomenon in mid-air, somewhat engrossed, and didn't seem to notice Song Qingming’s arrival.

"Junior Sister Xu, when did Fellow Daoist Li come?"

Seeing Song Qingming asking, Xu Ziyan hurriedly explained: "This time Senior Sister Bai is in closed-door cultivation breaking through to Nascent Soul, Uncle-Master Li feared changes, so he asked me and Senior Brother Chen to go to the East Sea to specifically invite Fellow Daoist Li to come and help.

Fellow Daoist Li arrived a few days ago. I haven't had time to inform Senior Brother Song about this matter, but I didn't expect Senior Sister Bai to trigger the heaven and earth phenomenon here."

"Oh! So that’s how it is. The sect is so well prepared this time. It seems that the Uncle-Master is quite confident in Senior Sister Bai’s breakthrough to Nascent Soul this time." Hearing Xu Ziyan’s explanation, Song Qingming nodded lightly.

A cultivator breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm will not only trigger heaven and earth phenomena but also lower Heavenly Dao thunder tribulations. Such a big movement will not be able to be covered up even by the mountain-protecting array, and the news will certainly not be able to be completely hidden.

Although the "Carefree Sect" is a Nascent Soul sect and is not afraid of ordinary cultivators coming to make trouble, there are also many powerful opponents near Weiguo who do not want to see the current "Carefree Sect" have another Nascent Soul cultivator.

Among them, the one the "Carefree Sect" is most worried about is the demon race to the north of the sect. If the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" of "Golden Feather Mountain" knows this news, he will definitely come to block the Dao.

Once the demon race succeeds and causes Bai Yuxian’s failure to form the Nascent Soul, the "Carefree Sect" will not only be unable to enhance its own strength but will also suffer heavy damage, and I am afraid it will be difficult to turn over for hundreds of years.

Regardless of whether anyone comes to block the Dao at that time, for the sake of caution, Li Mufeng, the sect’s Supreme Elder, had to take it seriously. For this reason, he sent people to the East Sea a year in advance to invite Li Xianyun to come and help.

Seeing that Li Xianyun’s attention was on the heaven and earth phenomenon in mid-air, Song Qingming took Huang Siyuan and stepped forward to greet the other party.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you well? It’s been many years. I really didn't expect to meet you here today."

"Fellow Daoist Song, greetings. This is?"

Hearing Song Qingming’s proactive greeting, Li Xianyun shifted his gaze and came back to his senses. After returning the salute to Song Qingming, he saw Huang Siyuan on the side and asked with some doubt.

When Song Qingming and Li Xianyun parted back then, Huang Siyuan had not yet formed the Golden Core, so Li Xianyun did not know that Song Qingming also had a Golden Core Dao companion. Seeing Huang Siyuan standing with Song Qingming, he didn't figure out the relationship between the two for a while.

Seeing the doubt on Li Xianyun’s face, Xu Ziyan, who was standing on the side, took the initiative to introduce: "Junior Sister Huang is Senior Brother Song’s Dao companion. She formed the Golden Core later than me, and now she is also a guest elder of the sect like Senior Brother Song."

"I have long heard of the great name of Fellow Daoist Li, the number one loose cultivator in Weiguo. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary. I have greetings."

"I have long been away from here, it’s just a false name. Fellow Daoist, don't be polite."

Just as Song Qingming and the two were chatting with Li Xianyun, two escape lights flew over from not far away, attracting everyone’s attention.

One of them was Zhang Tieyang of "Iron Immortal Castle" who arrived a step late, and the other was a thin scholar, who was also a Golden Core cultivator. However, Song Qingming looked at this person and felt a bit unfamiliar, as if he hadn't seen him before.

Before Song Qingming could ask, Xu Ziyan explained to him directly: "Senior Brother Song, the one who came with Junior Brother Zhang is Zhou Ziyang, who formed the Golden Core in the Wu Kingdom a few years ago. After this person returned to Weiguo last year, he has been living in Iron Immortal Castle."

"Oh! So it’s him. The Uncle-Master has the intention to accept him. It seems that the sect will have another talent soon." Hearing Xu Ziyan’s explanation, Song Qingming immediately remembered this person and nodded with a smile.

Zhou Ziyang is a loose cultivator from Weiguo. This person’s cultivation talent is very good and he is a double-spiritual-root cultivator. Not long after entering the Dao, he worshipped under the sect of an old-brand Foundation Establishment late-stage loose cultivator and cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining very smoothly all the way.

Unexpectedly, fate was full of twists and turns. Just as he was about to establish his foundation, Zhou Ziyang’s master was harmed by someone outside, and even the Foundation Establishment spiritual items prepared for him were snatched away by others.

Since then, Zhou Ziyang lost his only reliance and became an ordinary loose cultivator mixing in "Tuoyun Mountain," living a very tight life.

However, the unfortunate event did not affect Zhou Ziyang’s Dao heart. After that, he seriously polished his own cultivation and forcibly established his foundation without a "Foundation Establishment Pill," which caused a sensation on "Tuoyun Mountain" at that time.

After establishing his foundation, Zhou Ziyang faced Lin Yutang’s proactive invitation to join "Golden Cloud Pavilion," but he did not choose to agree to the other party and stay on "Tuoyun Mountain," but left there and began to travel everywhere.

Later, after wandering outside for many years, Zhou Ziyang not only traveled all over Weiguo but also went to other countries to travel. After luckily obtaining many opportunities outside, he formed the Golden Core a hundred years after Foundation Establishment, which was a blockbuster.

Regarding this Golden Core cultivator who was a loose cultivator and had traveled outside for many years and suddenly returned to Weiguo, the "Carefree Sect" knew very well, but did not rush to win over the other party until now, when they showed a trace of friendliness to him.

Regarding Zhou Ziyang’s affairs, Song Qingming had heard some things over the years, but he was not familiar with him before, and Song Qingming had not proactively inquired about the other party’s affairs, only knowing that he had proactively returned to Weiguo a few years ago.

After Zhang Tieyang brought Zhou Ziyang into the crowd, he took the initiative to introduce everyone. Song Qingming and the many Golden Core elders of the "Carefree Sect" also took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

Only Li Xianyun’s attitude was relatively cold. Facing the proactive greeting of Zhang Tieyang and Zhou Ziyang, he just nodded slightly and shifted his gaze to the sky again, seeming not to have much interest in the two of them.

Seeing that the other party was indifferent to them, Zhang Tieyang and the two were also a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, Xu Ziyan and others hurriedly came up to smooth things over, which eased the atmosphere at the scene.

Song Qingming, who knew Li Xianyun’s lonely and arrogant personality, was not surprised by this.

This loose cultivator genius who has been famous in the Weiguo immortal cultivation world for many years, except for cultivation matters, has never had much interest in making friends.

If Song Qingming hadn't happened to have a friendship with him when he was traveling in the East Sea immortal cultivation world back then, I am afraid the other party wouldn't have given him too much of a good face.

Li Xianyun’s cultivation had long reached the peak of Golden Core, and the aura he showed was clearly different from that of an ordinary ninth-level Golden Core cultivator. It was clear that he had also impacted the Nascent Soul realm once before.

For him, there is no matter more important than the matter of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in front of him.

Seeing the heaven and earth phenomenon triggered by Bai Yuxian in the sky, Li Xianyun at this moment seemed to have entered a state of selflessness, having long regarded the person who was forming the Nascent Soul in the distance as himself.

After Zhang Tieyang and the two arrived, not long after, an escape light flew from above "Guyang Peak" and landed in front of everyone, revealing Li Mufeng’s figure.

"Uncle-Master Li!" Seeing the sect’s Supreme Elder appear, Song Qingming and the others hurriedly stepped forward to salute together.

After scanning everyone, Li Mufeng nodded calmly: "Inviting you all here is because Yuxian’s closed-door cultivation has reached a critical moment.

Now the rise and fall of the sect all fall on her shoulders. We must guard Guyang Peak well and must not let anyone disturb her closed-door cultivation.

From today on, no matter what happens outside, without my permission, none of you are allowed to leave without authorization.

I will sit in town on the top of the mountain personally. You must guard every corner. Anyone who dares to approach Guyang Peak without reason will be killed on the spot."

"Follow the orders of Uncle-Master and Senior!" Hearing Li Mufeng’s serious instructions, Song Qingming and the others hurriedly responded.

Following that, under Xu Ziyan’s arrangement, the dozen or so Golden Core cultivators each found a place to sit down, surrounding the entire "Guyang Peak" in the middle.

In addition, Song Qingming, Li Wutong, and Chen Xuanxin were secretly called to the top of the mountain by Li Mufeng, and the "Vajra Heavenly Net Array" that had been prepared long ago was handed into their hands.

"Qingming, your array level is the highest here. If a Nascent Soul cultivator really comes to make trouble, you will be responsible for controlling the array to deal with the enemy. I have already talked to Feng Yuan, and he will appear to help when the time comes."

Seeing the fourth-level array in front of him, Song Qingming was a bit surprised, but didn't ask too much, and directly nodded and accepted the array flags handed over by Li Mufeng.

Now the "Carefree Sect" has almost concentrated all the sect’s elite forces, and also invited many outside helpers, and there is a fourth-level array that can contain Nascent Soul cultivators. In Song Qingming’s view, it should be foolproof.

It’s just that when he took the array flags given by Li Mufeng, he saw a trace of worry on the face of this sect Supreme Elder, which made Song Qingming have some bad premonitions in his heart.

"Wouldn't anyone really dare to come to Guyang Peak to block the Dao!"

Except for those demonic cultivators who hide and hide, in the face of the huge pressure of the demon race in the north, even if there is some discord behind the scenes among the human cultivators, theoretically, no one dares to come to block the Dao so blatantly.

Not to mention that venturing so deep into someone else’s territory would be extremely dangerous. If you are not careful and fall into an ambush, you might not only fail to block the Dao but also lose your own life.

And doing such a thing that hurts relatives and pleases enemies, once discovered, will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction from other sects. By then, you won't get any benefits and will be excluded by the entire Floating Cloud Mountain Range immortal cultivation world.

The only thing that needs to be worried about is the demon race in the north.

The only thing to worry about is the demon race in the north.
