Chapter 757: The Great Battle Ends, Secretly Transmitted Cultivation Method

Three days later, in a great hall atop "Bai Yun Valley."

This place was originally the lair of the "Demon King Bai Long," but now the great hall was filled with dozens of high-tier human cultivators, everyone drinking and chatting, celebrating the joy of their great victory over the demon tribe not long ago.

After capturing "Bai Yun Valley," under Li Mufeng's arrangement, the "Xiaoyao Sect," in order to celebrate this great victory, transported a large amount of supplies from the rear and directly set up a banquet in "Bai Yun Valley."

The three Nascent Soul cultivators at the head looked at the people sitting below, their faces all full of joy, drinking wine while chatting about the recent battle situation of the human side counterattacking the demon tribe in the surrounding area.

Ever since the "Wanling Sect" took the lead a few years ago, numerous sects in the Fuyun Mountain Range had formed an alliance to join hands and counterattack the demon tribe. In just over a year, the flames of war had reignited around the entire Fuyun Mountain Range.

More than a dozen countries in the north, such as the Wei Kingdom, after being fully prepared, one after another began to send troops north to counterattack the demon tribe, wanting to recover the territory lost for thousands of years.

As for the demon side, because they did not expect the human cultivators to organize such a large-scale counterattack, they were unprepared at the beginning and suffered defeats one after another. In the past year or so, they had already had a lot of territory taken back by the human cultivators.

After the Wei Kingdom captured "Bai Yun Valley," their territory expanded nearly five thousand miles to the north, which was already equivalent to more than a dozen Qinghe Counties.

The neighboring Zheng Kingdom, with the help of the "Star Sect," also defeated the army led by the "Demon Emperor Chiyun," recovered several third-tier spirit veins lost during the last demon beast turmoil, and drove the demon beasts out of the original Zheng Kingdom border.

Most of the other surrounding countries also had some battle results more or less, some recovered their original lost territory, and some expanded their own territory to the north. For a time, the morale of the human cultivators in the entire Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world was greatly boosted.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Mufeng again let Xu Ziyan take out the merit list of this battle and rewarded everyone present who had made contributions on the spot.

Among the numerous Jin Dan cultivators, after several great battles with the demon tribe, the one with the greatest merit was Chen Xuanxin, who had killed the "Demon King Jinhu" with his final sword.

A sword cultivator whose cultivation had reached the peak of the eighth layer of Jin Dan, he displayed great power in the final great battle, killing two Jin Dan Demon Kings in succession by himself.

Not only did he bring great deterrence to the demon side, but even the numerous Jin Dan cultivators present were also convinced by Chen Xuanxin, the sect's number one Jin Dan expert.

To reward Chen Xuanxin for his contribution in this great battle, the sect's Nascent Soul Supreme Elder Li Mufeng bestowed a third-tier top-quality magic treasure on the spot, which also made the people present reveal a few looks of envy one after another.

Besides Chen Xuanxin, other Jin Dan cultivators who participated in the great battle, including the "Star Sect" and the "Zhenyang Sect," who had come to support, also received rewards of spiritual items from the "Xiaoyao Sect."

Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan both contributed a lot in several great battles, and both also gained a reward of ten thousand sect merit points and a third-tier mid-quality spirit talisman from the sect.

Everyone who received the rewards was very happy in their hearts at this moment, one after another stepping forward to toast and thank them, and the wine cups in the hands of the several Nascent Soul cultivators had also never stopped.

After the banquet ended, the next day Zheng Zitong took the several Jin Dan Elders of the "Star Sect" to bid farewell to Li Mufeng and the two, and directly boarded their large flying boat to return to the Wu Kingdom to rest.

This time the "Xiaoyao Sect" had already defeated the Jinyu Mountain demon tribe and occupied "Bai Yun Valley," achieving their original planned goals. Next, they still needed to find a way to hold these captured territories and prevent the demon beast side from counterattacking.

Although the human cultivator side had started a comprehensive counterattack against the demon tribe this time, in the entire Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world, the overall strength of the northern demon beast forces was still much stronger than the human cultivator side.

The reason why the human cultivators were able to achieve so many battle results this time was mainly because they were fully prepared, and under the joint counterattack, they caught the demon side off guard for a time.

Once the northern demon tribe reacted, they would definitely be able to slowly stabilize the situation by joining together. By then, once the demon side slowly recovered its strength, it would definitely have to go south again to take revenge on the human side.

But as long as the human side could work together and fight steadily, hold the existing territory, and slowly develop and strengthen their own strength, perhaps they could also slowly reverse the disadvantage against the demon tribe in the future.

After sending away the cultivators from other countries who came to support, such as the "Star Sect," the "Xiaoyao Sect" side also immediately started to act.

First, they sent cultivators to disperse the miasma surrounding the valley, then set up a high-tier mountain-protecting formation in the valley, and began to build and transform this third-tier top-quality spirit vein, transforming it into a new front line for the Wei Kingdom to fight against the northern demon tribe.

As for the "Jinyu Mountain" demon tribe, life was not so easy.

The "Demon Emperor Molong" returned to "Jinyu Mountain" after the great battle and learned the news that the demon beast army he had taken was almost completely wiped out, and even the "Demon King Jinhu" had died in the hands of the human cultivators. For a time, he was so angry that he almost slapped those other Demon Kings who had fled back to death with one claw.

This great battle with the human cultivators not only suffered a comprehensive defeat and lost "Bai Yun Valley," a strategic location, but also lost the "Demon King Jinhu," his right-hand man who had followed him for many years. The "Demon Emperor Molong" was full of regret in his heart besides being angry.

Because of the defeat at the front line and the loss of nearly ten thousand demon beasts in an ambush by human cultivators, the strength of the "Jinyu Mountain" demon tribe suddenly suffered a heavy blow.

The dozen or so Demon Kings originally under the "Demon Emperor Molong" had five fall after several great battles in "Bai Yun Valley," leaving only nine Demon Kings led by the "Demon King Bai Long."

Although the "Demon Emperor Molong" was dissatisfied with the numerous Demon Kings led by the "Demon King Bai Long," the demon side was in need of people at this time, so in the end, he only severely reprimanded them and did not punish them too severely.

However, because "Jinyu Mountain" had suffered a heavy blow, it could no longer compete head-on with their old rival, the "Xiaoyao Sect," and could only shrink back near "Jinyu Mountain" in the north, not daring to go south again for a time.

Fortunately, there was still a fourth-tier formation left by the Demon Emperor Jinyu on the "Jinyu Mountain" spirit vein, and there were demon tribe allies around who could support at any time.

With the current strength of the "Xiaoyao Sect," it did not pose much of a threat to "Jinyu Mountain," and they did not need to worry about the "Xiaoyao Sect" continuing to go north in the short term.

The "Xiaoyao Sect" was naturally very clear about these things in their hearts. Therefore, after capturing "Bai Yun Valley," they also stopped when they were ahead and did not have the slightest intention of continuing to attack north.

After the sect slowly gained a firm foothold in "Bai Yun Valley," Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan also took the sect's flying boat with the cultivators of Qinghe County and returned to Qinghe County from the front line a few months later.

This time, following the sect to conquer the demon tribe in the north, the Song family had recruited a total of eight hundred cultivators to accompany them, but when they returned, there were only less than six hundred left. Excluding those who were seriously injured midway and returned early, nearly two hundred people had fallen on the front-line battlefield.

Among the more than one hundred and sixty cultivators sent by the family from "Mount Funiu," nearly thirty percent were killed in action, and many returned injured, including the Jin Dan ancestor Huang Siyuan, who also injured her meridians in the final battle.

Looking at the jars of cultivators' ashes being moved down from the flying boat, the Song family members who came to welcome them were also deeply saddened.

These clansmen had left the family for less than a year, and everyone's appearance seemed to still be before their eyes. They never expected that when they met again, it would be a separation of life and death.

Many young cultivators who had just entered the Dao on the mountain not long ago, seeing the ashes of these clansmen being moved back, finally truly understood the cruelty of this cultivation world.

The reason they had the opportunity to stay on the mountain and cultivate in peace was only because there were senior clansmen outside shielding them from the wind and rain, which exchanged for a trace of peace for them on the mountain.

Fortunately, after this great battle, the "Xiaoyao Sect" had severely damaged the northern demon tribe, and next, the entire Wei Kingdom should be able to have a period of stable days.

After returning to the family, Song Qingming first let the family arrange pensions for the clansmen who died or were injured in battle, then held a unified funeral for them, and buried these clansmen who fell outside in the family's rear mountain cemetery.

In order to send off these clansmen who died for the family outside, many Song family cultivators also returned to the family to attend their funeral.

After handling this matter, Song Qingming let Song Yuanfang arrange a banquet for all the family cultivators who had gone on the expedition. He, Huang Siyuan, and Song Qingyu also personally attended the banquet and publicly rewarded those who had made contributions on the battlefield.

Since the defeat in "Bai Yun Valley," because the demon side had rapidly shrunk its power, "Bai Shiling," which was originally frequently harassed by demon beasts, also immediately became quiet.

Song Qingyu, who had recently detected that the demon beasts nearby were gradually retreating north, also directly returned to the family spirit land "Mount Funiu" and directly handed over the guard task of "Bai Shiling" to the couple Song Changze and Liu Yuxin.

Now "Bai Shiling" not only had a third-tier formation to guard it, but also had hundreds of law enforcement team members led by more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators like Song Changze stationed there. Plus, many city-defending sharp weapons had been added to the city walls, so there was no need to fear even if a Jin Dan Demon King came to attack.

Even if they encountered a powerful demon beast like the "Giant Elephant Demon King" at the late Jin Dan stage, they could still drag it out for a while until reinforcements arrived. Normally, there was no major problem.

After the great battle, because of the peace on the northern border, the entire Wei Kingdom also ushered in a relatively peaceful time.

Song Qingming, Huang Siyuan, and Song Qingyu, besides often gathering together to taste tea and chat, also started their own secluded cultivation.

Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu both chose to seclude themselves for cultivation at "Mount Funiu," while Song Qingming quietly came to "Qinghe Cave Mansion" by himself and continued to start cultivating while studying the mural in the cave mansion.

On this day, Song Qingming, dressed in a cyan robe, was sitting cross-legged on top of a giant rock in the middle of the river, closing his eyes and meditating to cultivate.

It was already late autumn, and although the sun was shining brightly, the weather was not as hot as in summer, and the gusts of autumn wind on the river also made people feel the coolness of the changing weather at all times.

However, at this moment, Song Qingming, sitting on the giant rock, had beads of sweat all over his forehead, which kept flowing down his face, not only wetting his clothes but also making the giant rock under him wet.

The reason why beads of sweat kept appearing on Song Qingming's forehead was actually because he was running the "Tongtian Wanling Jue," desperately absorbing the water-attribute heaven and earth spiritual energy in the Qinghe River, and then discharging it from his body after refining it.

Over the years, besides daily practice, Song Qingming had not been slack in his cultivation of the "Tongtian Wanling Jue," often looking for wild places with pure five-element spiritual energy to cultivate. Through so many years of effort, he had finally cultivated the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" to the peak of the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, just one step away from entering the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Although there was still a long way to go before cultivating this set of cultivation methods to the Nascent Soul stage, being able to make some progress slowly, Song Qingming was not too disappointed in his heart.

No matter whether he could complete the agreement with that "Xuantian" senior in the future, as long as this cultivation method was of some help to his breakthrough in cultivation, it was worth his time to cultivate it seriously.

Anyway, he had the help of the remnant map, and his speed of absorbing spiritual energy was much faster than ordinary people. Cultivating one more cultivation method for him would not have much impact.

Just as Song Qingming was still absorbing the spiritual energy in the water, a cyan streak of light suddenly flew from the sky.

This streak of light stopped in the sky above Qinghe, then circled a large circle in the high sky, and soon turned around and headed straight for the location where Song Qingming was.

"Seventh Brother! What kind of cultivation method are you cultivating this time?"

Opening his eyes and seeing Song Qingyu, who had stepped on a flying sword and came to his side, Song Qingming directly put away his own magic power and stood up with a calm face.

"Qingyu, why did you come? If you have something to find me, why didn't you let Yuanfang and the others send a sound transmission talisman directly? Did something happen at home that requires you to run a trip yourself!"

Hearing Song Qingming's inquiry, Song Qingyu chuckled and replied: "I just came out of seclusion and was idle, so I just came out for a walk. There is nothing urgent.

By the way, Seventh Brother, you haven't answered my question just now.

Why does this cultivation method have to keep absorbing five-element spiritual energy outside like this? Even if there is no high-tier water-attribute spirit vein near the family, is it impossible for Seventh Brother to cultivate directly with spirit stones?"

Over the years, because Song Qingming needed to go out to cultivate the "Tongtian Wanling Jue," Huang Siyuan, Song Qingyu, and several elders of the Song family who were close to him had all seen Song Qingming cultivate this cultivation method.

It's just that Song Qingming had never taken the initiative to mention anything about the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" to anyone. Although Huang Siyuan and the others had seen it, no one knew what the specific cultivation method he was cultivating was.

Song Qingyu had been curious about the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" that Song Qingming was cultivating for many years, but this was the first time she had asked Song Qingming about this strange cultivation method face-to-face.

Song Qingming heard this and immediately shook his head: "This cultivation method needs to absorb the pure five-element spiritual energy between heaven and earth, so it cannot borrow spirit veins or other external objects. It cannot be rushed. You came to find me, you wouldn't also be interested in this cultivation method, would you!"

Hearing Song Qingming think that she was interested in the "Tongtian Wanling Jue," Song Qingyu hurriedly waved her hands quickly: "Don't, don't, don't. This cultivation method is cultivated so slowly even by Seventh Brother, so I'll forget it! There are so many cultivation methods in the world, and not all of them are suitable for me. I'd better cultivate my sword cultivation inheritance clearly first."

"Hehe! It's right for you to have this realization. There are thousands of cultivation methods in this cultivation world, and it's already not bad for everyone to be proficient in one or two. It's not necessarily a good thing to learn many but not be proficient."

"Hmm! Seventh Brother, I came to find you for Changze's matter. Didn't you say before that you wanted to notify you immediately when Changze had news? The family just received news that Changze has come out of seclusion."

"Oh, has he successfully broken through his cultivation?" Hearing the news that Song Changze had come out of seclusion, a trace of joy suddenly appeared on Song Qingming's originally calm face.

A few years ago, when Bai Yuxian broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, she gave two bottles of "Earth Spirit Dew" to the numerous Jin Dan cultivators who helped protect the Dharma, one of which finally fell into Song Qingming's hands.

After obtaining this spiritual item, Song Qingming directly placed it in the family's Merit Pavilion.

Because the family merit required to exchange for this item was not low, no one had successfully exchanged for this item for several years, until half a year ago, Song Changze, with the help of his wife Liu Yuxin, gathered enough merit to exchange it into his hands.

After obtaining the "Earth Spirit Dew," Song Changze quickly started to seclude himself to refine the spirit water, and now he had finally come out of seclusion.

Facing Song Qingming's inquiry, Song Qingyu smiled and nodded: "Seventh Brother, rest assured, Changze successfully broke through to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment a month ago, and only just came out of seclusion yesterday after stabilizing his cultivation."

Song Qingming heard this and nodded with relief: "That's good. Changze's lifespan is less than one hundred and twenty years old, and he can break through to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment. His talent is indeed no worse than yours or mine.

Since he has already cultivated to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, the next step is to prepare for Core Formation, so it is time to pass the Guiyuan Technique to him."

"Guiyuan Technique," this secret method that was helpful for Core Formation, was found by Song Qingming from the "Yuxuan Sutra" cultivation method given by his master, Daoist Lingxu, and it was also a great help for Song Qingming and the others to succeed in Core Formation back then.

Confirming that Song Changze had successfully broken through to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, Song Qingming had also decided to pass the "Guiyuan Technique" to him, so as to prepare for cultivating Song Changze for Core Formation in the future.

For a secret method of Core Formation at the level of "Guiyuan Technique," generally Nascent Soul sects basically had similar ones and would not care too much about it. Only those secondary Jin Dan-level forces would be tempted by such a secret method because it was relatively rare.

Now the Song family had three Jin Dan cultivators and a powerful Nascent Soul sect like the "Xiaoyao Sect" behind them. Just passing on a secret method helpful for Core Formation, they didn't have to be as fearful as before.

Song Qingming finished speaking, then waved his hand to roll up a breeze to dry the clothes on his body, and just as he wanted to turn and leave, he found Song Qingyu standing in place in silence, with no intention of moving in a hurry.

Seeing that Song Qingyu's expression was somewhat wrong and she seemed unhappy, Song Qingming turned to ask her again: "What's wrong with you, girl? Are you not having enough fun and don't want to go back, or is there something you haven't finished saying?"

"I came all the way here, and Seventh Brother, you are in such a hurry to send me away. Could it be that there is something here that you have been hiding from me and Sister-in-law!" Song Qingyu said while rolling her eyes, giving a meaningful look.

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately understood her thoughts and sighed slightly: "I have been cultivating here recently, and there is nothing I have deliberately hidden from you.

But since you already know, then come with me!"

After speaking, Song Qingming took Song Qingyu together and came to the "Qinghe Cave Mansion" hidden in the water below.

Once entering the underwater cave mansion and looking at the tall, simple great hall, a few more looks of excitement appeared on Song Qingyu's originally curious face.

"Seventh Brother, is this the ancient cultivator cave mansion that Fellow Daoist Bai found! It's actually so big, it really isn't something that ordinary cultivators can build."

Song Qingming heard this and directly nodded: "Not bad, this cave mansion was indeed built by ancient cultivators, but it had already been taken by senior cultivators first."

Song Qingming had told Huang Siyuan about the matter of Bai Yunhua offering this "Qinghe Cave Mansion" to Song Qingming before.

Later, Song Qingming also did not choose to hide from Huang Siyuan the matter of exploring the cave mansion with him and obtaining a fourth-tier magic treasure, only he did not choose to tell her about the remnant map.

Song Qingyu would know about this, Song Qingming didn't need to think much to know that it should have been told to her by Huang Siyuan.

Seeing that Song Qingyu was interested in this cave mansion, Song Qingming thought for a moment and decided not to deliberately hide it from her, so he simply brought Song Qingyu in.

This cave mansion was now empty, and Song Qingming had studied the runes on the mural for so long but still couldn't open it.

After Song Qingyu came in, she found that it was just as Song Qingming had said, this was already an empty cave mansion, and soon the excitement on her face turned into disappointment.

"This cave mansion has long been emptied, Seventh Brother, why are you still so interested and staying near here to cultivate!"

Song Qingming pointed to the ancient runes on the wall and said: "What I am interested in now is mainly the ancient runes here, which can be of some help to my cultivation of the formation path.

Qingyu, the ancient runes in this cave mansion are very important to me. From now on, you are not allowed to reveal anything about this cave mansion to the outside world. You must remember this."

"Seventh Brother, rest assured. Sister-in-law has only told me about this matter, and no one else in the family knows about it. For things you don't want to say, even if the two of us know, we will definitely not take the initiative to say it out.

Over the years, I know that you have always had us in your heart and have been carrying the entire family. No matter what decision Seventh Brother you make, Sister-in-law and I will definitely support you."

Hearing Song Qingyu's serious words, Song Qingming nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. After tidying up, he took her back to "Mount Funiu."

After receiving the family's sound transmission, Song Changze, who had just come out of seclusion, quickly returned to "Mount Funiu" and came to the "Huixian Pavilion" on the mountain top to see the three family ancestors who summoned him.

Besides Song Changze, this time Song Qingming also summoned Song Yuanhao and Liu Yuxin back and directly passed the "Guiyuan Technique" formula he had engraved on himself to the three of them.

"The secret method passed to you today is the foundation of the family's foothold. You can only cultivate it yourselves, and without the permission of the three of us, you must never tell this secret method to others." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 758 =====

"The secret technique I am passing on to you today is the foundation of our family's standing. You may only practice it yourselves; without the permission of the three of us, you must never disclose this secret technique to anyone else." (End of chapter)
