Although this old demon has the peak cultivation of Golden Core, Ancestor Yun is a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, plus the secret treasure of Jinxia Palace, the Five-Colored Golden Bowl, which is specially used to restrain demon cultivators.

Accompanied by a few screams, the primordial spirit of this Golden Core old demon, who had been majestic in the \"Tianhai cultivation world\" for hundreds of years, was directly burned into ashes by the \"Soul-Refining Talisman\" and dissipated between heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completely beheading the primordial spirit of \"Old Demon Black Wind,\" this \"Jinxia Palace\" Nascent Soul Supreme Elder beckoned lightly and took the storage bag on the other party's corpse directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she stepped on a lotus flower and flew back to the high sky, without paying attention to the crowd who were still shocked below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene of a Nascent Soul cultivator beheading a Golden Core demon cultivator, Song Qingming was not too surprised, and the expression on his face always remained relatively calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This \"Old Demon Black Wind\" was just relying on a profound secret technique to restrain his own aura, so he dared to come to \"Wind Thunder Island\" so boldly, wanting to mix into the secret realm and share a piece of the pie in the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how strong a Golden Core demon cultivator is, facing the three Nascent Soul cultivators on the island, he could not possibly escape unscathed. The moment \"Old Demon Black Wind's\" identity was discovered, the fate of this demon had already been doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ancestor Yun left, the Golden Core Elder of \"Yujian Gate\" walked up again and explained to the crowd with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The opening of this secret realm is always inseparable from such demon cultivator mischief. However, fellow Daoists, don't worry. A Demon-Sealing Golden Light Array specially designed to deal with demon cultivators has been set up in front of the teleportation array, and even Nascent Soul demon cultivators are difficult to escape the detection of the array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, rest assured, with three Nascent Soul ancestors here, there is no safer place in the entire Tianhai cultivation world than here. Next, please continue to step forward and enter the secret realm one by one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this person said so, the originally somewhat messy team slowly restored order again, and the many cultivators at the scene began to step forward one by one to pay spirit stones and enter the teleportation array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a while, a Foundation Establishment man who was originally queuing not far in front of Song Qingming suddenly walked out of the team while no one was paying attention and walked toward the outside of the beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he had only walked out for a short distance when he was stopped by a Golden Core cultivator who was maintaining order at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is this fellow Daoist going!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the inquiry of the patrolling Golden Core cultivator, the Foundation Establishment man hurriedly cupped his hands and replied: \"This Senior, I just found out while queuing that I didn't bring enough spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I strolled in the workshop for a long time the day before yesterday and didn't notice that the spirit stones on me were spent. This time I am afraid I will miss this opportunity and have no way to enter the secret realm to search for treasures. Please, Senior, make it convenient for me to go back first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go back? It's not impossible for you to want to leave now, as long as you step forward and pass the array detection to prove you are not a demon cultivator, we will naturally not stop you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the \"Demon-Sealing Golden Light Array\" pointed out by the Golden Core cultivator not far away, the Foundation Establishment man nodded with a smile first, turned around, and pretended to start walking back with a natural expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before he had walked far, this person suddenly took out a banner magic tool and summoned dozens of cultivator vengeful spirits to pounce toward the location of the Golden Core cultivator behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Foundation Establishment man, with an escape light shining under his feet, flew quickly toward the outside without looking back, wanting to take advantage of the Golden Core cultivator dealing with his attack to escape here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that this Foundation Establishment demon cultivator\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! To dare show off such petty tricks before this old man—today, this Wind-Thunder Island shall be your burial ground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spitting out these mocking words, the Core Formation cultivator directly flicked out a spear magic treasure wreathed in raging flames, dancing it into a ball of fire that instantly dispersed the vengeful spirits attacking before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following this, he cast a spell with both hands, and the spear transformed into a fire dragon that quickly caught up to the fleeing Qi Refining demonic cultivator, soon wrapping him within a ball of flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only a single scream, this demonic cultivator, whose cultivation base was merely at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, turned into fly ash and vanished before everyone's eyes, just like the \"Old Demon of Black Wind\" before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because only one Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator had been caught this time, it did not cause much of a stir; the crowd watched the fight for a moment before quickly returning to normal, continuing to queue to enter the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of the major sects had already been inside for quite a while, and if they didn't hurry to enter the secret realm, they feared the good items inside would fall into others' hands first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, the crowd slowly walked into the teleportation array one after another and were directly transported into the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the process of queuing for the teleportation, several more unlucky demonic cultivators hiding in the crowd were rooted out by the law-enforcement cultivators guarding the teleportation array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These demonic cultivators did not possess the supernatural powers of the \"Old Demon of Black Wind\" from before; they were basically all at the Foundation Establishment stage, with the highest only at the second level of Core Formation, and without exception, they were all executed on the spot by the law-enforcement cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These demonic cultivators were basically all trying to fish in troubled waters, thinking their identities were well-hidden, not knowing that from the moment they stepped onto this island, they had already walked right into a trap. — After a familiar sensation of the world spinning, Song Qingming, who had walked into the teleportation array, was transported above a dense forest after only a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recovering from the dizziness, he scanned the very unfamiliar environment around him, and Song Qingming quickly confirmed that he had already entered the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that no other cultivators were discovered in the vicinity, Song Qingming raised his hand and lightly brushed his storage magic tool at his waist, and a piece of animal-skin map immediately appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This map had been prepared for him by Feng He long ago, to make it convenient for him to quickly confirm his location after entering the secret realm, as well as to find the places he wanted to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully looking at the map, Song Qingming discovered that his location was in a corner near the northwest of the outer hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there were some places nearby where spiritual items might appear, there was nothing Song Qingming could use, so he did not stay here long, but instead took out the \"Phantom Boat\" and flew directly toward the location of the inner hall in the middle of the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Wind-Thunder Island\" secret realm had two layers, inner and outer; although the outer hall had a larger area, there were not many places to find spiritual items inside, and it was very difficult to find high-grade spiritual items above the third level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inner hall was completely different; the quality of the spiritual items hidden inside far exceeded those of the outer hall. Not only could one find many third-level spiritual items, but even fourth-level spiritual items that assisted cultivators in forming a Nascent Soul could potentially be encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were many high-grade spiritual items to be found in the inner hall, but it was also far more dangerous than the outer hall; not only were mechanisms and restrictions densely packed, but there were also many fierce puppet beasts specifically guarding these spiritual items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an ordinary cultivator's ability was insufficient, even if they entered the inner hall and found where the spiritual items were, it would be very difficult to have the opportunity to bring them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there was no rule in the secret realm prohibiting cultivators from fighting each other; here, if one were careless and encountered a cultivator stronger than oneself, being killed for one's treasures was a common occurrence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, every time the \"Wind-Thunder Island\" secret realm opened, Foundation Establishment cultivators and those Core Formation rogue cultivators with weaker strength generally only dared to operate and search for treasures in the outer hall to save their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the disciples of the six major sects who had entered earlier, and some Core Formation experts who chose to act in groups, dared to take the initiative to head to the inner hall to seize treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Song Qingming, his main purpose for entering the secret realm this time was not to search for spiritual items, so these spiritual items in the outer hall held no attraction for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flying forward for more than ten miles, Song Qingming soon saw the first wave of cultivators he had encountered in the secret realm: two ordinary cultivators whose cultivation had already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before these two were transported in, they happened to be queuing not far behind Song Qingming, so the locations where the three of them were transported into the secret realm were also very close. The two, who had just converged, were just about to go search the surroundings for spiritual items when they saw a white flying boat flying over from the distance in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a Core Formation expert passing by high above, they were so frightened that they hurriedly hid in the forest below, but they were a step too slow in their actions and were still discovered by Song Qingming in their hiding spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing on the flying boat, Song Qingming, although his gaze was fixed tightly on the forest side, did not stop the flying boat, but instead quickly flew away from this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Qingming had completely gone far away, these two breathed a sigh of relief and carefully walked out of the forest, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around to hurry and flee the place directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The size of the space in the \"Wind-Thunder Island\" secret realm was several times larger than the \"Taiyue Lake\" secret realm that Song Qingming had visited years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming flew forward in the direction indicated by the map for two full days before finally arriving at a high mountain not far from the inner hall; as long as he flew a few dozen more miles forward, he would almost be at the entrance to the inner hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that there was not much magic power left in his body, Song Qingming did not rush to enter the inner hall; he directly found a relatively hidden valley nearby and casually excavated a small cave to drill into beside a cliff covered by trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Song Qingming had also encountered many cultivators like himself who were in a hurry to reach the inner hall; in order to avoid them as much as possible, Song Qingming thought about it and decided to go in a little later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, being alone and having consumed too much magic power, if he rushed in at this time and encountered a formidable opponent, he might suffer for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Song Qingming's main purpose was not for the spiritual items inside the inner hall, so going in later didn't matter much to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent others from accidentally discovering his hiding place, Song Qingming simply set up a third-level concealment array outside the cave before he felt at ease taking out a few spirit stones and sitting in place to begin recovering his magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was on a barren mountain without a spiritual vein, Song Qingming only meditated for a moment before he immediately felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this secret realm was significantly more abundant than outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After meditating for less than half an hour, Song Qingming, with the help of the remnant map, restored his magic power to a full state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that it was still early, Song Qingming did not choose to rush to leave the cave, but continued to circulate the \"Heaven-Reaching Myriad Spirit Art\" within his body, attempting to absorb the rich heaven and earth energy of this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding heaven and earth energy, following the guidance of his magic power, soon began to flow continuously into Song Qingming's body; after only a quarter of an hour, he felt a very dense heaven and earth energy appear within his inner core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected by Song Qingming, the speed of absorbing heaven and earth energy in this secret realm was at least several times faster than his cultivation outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After meditating and cultivating for a long time, Song Qingming suddenly felt the bottleneck of the late stage of Foundation Establishment in his \"Heaven-Reaching Myriad Spirit Art\" begin to show a trace of loosening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Song Qingming's face lit up with joy; he hurriedly took out a third-level elixir refined by Huang Siyuan from his storage bag and tossed it into his mouth, and soon a golden spiritual aura radiated from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completely refining the elixir in his body, Song Qingming began to maximize the stimulation of his own magic power to absorb the surrounding heaven and earth energy, using it to impact the bottleneck of his cultivation technique that had already loosened somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unknown how much time had passed when Song Qingming suddenly felt a slight sound come from his dantian, and the surrounding heaven and earth energy suddenly accelerated several times, crazily pouring into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Song Qingming, sitting in place, still kept his eyes tightly closed and remained motionless, steadily circulating his magic power to soothe these extremely restless heaven and earth energies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maintaining this for about half an incense stick's time, the restless heaven and earth energy around Song Qingming finally slowly calmed down, and only then did Song Qingming breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before entering the secret realm, the \"Heaven-Reaching Myriad Spirit Art\" that Song Qingming practiced had been stuck at the peak of the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Song Qingming had tried taking many elixirs for assistance, the bottleneck of the cultivation technique in his body still hadn't loosened even a little, which had always made Song Qingming feel quite helpless about it, and he could only be diligent in his cultivation while waiting for an opportunity to break through this bottleneck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected that entering the \"Wind-Thunder Island\" secret realm this time would allow him to accidentally find a treasure land with very abundant heaven and earth energy, allowing his \"Heaven-Reaching Myriad Spirit Art,\" which had been stagnant for many years, to successfully break through and advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This somewhat unexpected harvest also caused a trace of joy to emerge in Song Qingming's heart; no matter what happened next, he had at least not wasted the spirit stones to come in this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a pity that the secret realm only opened for one month, and Song Qingming had no way to stay in the secret realm for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if he could stay in here for a long time to cultivate, he would definitely be able to successfully cultivate the \"Heaven-Reaching Myriad Spirit Art\" directly to the peak of the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and even breaking through to the Core Formation realm was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Song Qingming was concentrating on meditating in the cave, a group of uninvited guests suddenly arrived above the valley where he was in seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among this group, running in front was a thin-faced old man in yellow clothes; several hundred feet behind him, there were four cultivators—three men and one woman—holding magic tools, who were chasing the yellow-clothed old man in front relentlessly while stepping on flying swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that yellow-clothed old man fled to the valley where Song Qingming was located, he suddenly turned his flying sword and dropped directly downward, arriving in front of a cliff covered by dense vegetation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fleeing here, the yellow-clothed old man carefully scanned the cliff in front of him, and just as he walked forward a few steps wanting to get closer, several mocking voices suddenly came from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old thing, you really can run; I thought you actually dared to hide in the inner hall. Why aren't you running anymore? Could it be that your magic power isn't enough and you can't run?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe! Brother Wu, why waste words with this old thing? To dare take action to snatch things from our Golden Blade Sect—wait and see how I finish him off later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the mockery of the few people behind him, the yellow-clothed old man did not pay much attention; after walking quickly to the cliff, he directly cast a spell to release a fireball and smashed it against the cliff in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this guy crazy? To actually still have magic power to waste like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four people who had just surrounded him saw this somewhat abnormal action of the yellow-clothed old man, and expressions of doubt appeared on all their faces, not knowing what the other party was trying to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the next moment they saw that fireball directly sink into the cliff in front of them and disappear without a trace; feeling that something was wrong, the few people were suddenly surprised and stopped their steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that yellow-clothed old man who had just cast the spell to release the fireball, seeing that the conjecture in his heart had been verified, hurriedly knelt on the ground and was just about to call for help when he was interrupted by an angry rebuke from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which blind thing is sneaking around hiding here? Get out here yourself, or else when Grandpa is unhappy later, I'll chop you into pieces to feed the spirit beasts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one speaking was one of the four \"Golden Blade Sect\" members chasing the yellow-clothed old man, a fat-faced cultivator holding twin blades with a somewhat fierce expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, while shouting, he looked at the cliff in front of him with indifference, seemingly not paying much attention to the person hiding inside, thinking it was just an accomplice of the yellow-clothed old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the fat-faced cultivator's voice fell, a white mist suddenly rose outside the cliff, and then a young man with an ordinary appearance appeared before everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can this be a Core Formation cultivator!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Song Qingming's figure appeared and they felt the powerful pressure radiating from his body, the expressions of the four \"Golden Blade Sect\" members suddenly changed, and somewhat ugly colors appeared on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only that yellow-clothed old man, who was still kneeling on the ground, hurriedly bowed down after seeing Song Qingming, begging respectfully with a face full of pleading: \"Senior, this junior was just being chased by these people for no reason, and only after being forced into a desperate situation did I accidentally intrude here. I hope Senior can point out a path to survival for this junior; I am willing to gift all the spiritual items obtained in the secret realm to Senior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although the yellow-clothed old man was crying and speaking with sincerity, Song Qingming did not pay attention to the other party, instead placing his gaze directly on the fat-faced \"Golden Blade Sect\" cultivator who had just spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it you who just wanted to chop me into pieces to feed the spirit beasts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Song Qingming's cold inquiry, the fat-faced cultivator's face suddenly showed embarrassment, and he hurriedly cupped his hands in salute to explain: \"This junior didn't know Senior was here just now, which is why I was spouting nonsense; I hope Senior will not take offense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right! What Brother Hu said just now was all nonsense; I hope Senior will not misunderstand. We are disciples of the Golden Blade Sect of the Hundred Mountains Country; I ask that Senior can look at the face of our Master, True Person Yufeng, and show mercy to Brother Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our Master is also a person who makes many friends; Senior must have heard of him before. As long as Senior lets bygones be bygones and hands over this person who snatched the spiritual items to us, after this junior returns, I will definitely inform our Master of Senior's kindness today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the fat-faced cultivator apologized, another young Confucian scholar standing to the side took over the conversation, helping to explain while carefully bringing out his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The master he spoke of was, after all, a famous veteran Core Formation cultivator; no matter whether Song Qingming knew him or not, as fellow Core Formation cultivators, he should at least show some consideration and not easily make things difficult for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after the young Confucian scholar finished speaking, the change they wanted to see did not appear on Song Qingming's face; that pair of somewhat cold eyes was still fixed tightly on the fat-faced cultivator not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you say it was nonsense, why don't I give you a chance? As long as you can hold out for ten rounds against this spirit beast of mine without being defeated, then I will not hold this matter against you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Qingming finished speaking, he lightly patted his waist with his right hand, and the \"Ice-Fire Flood Dragon,\" which was still emitting a trace of cold air, was released by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so many years of careful feeding, the cultivation of the \"Ice-Fire Flood Dragon\" that had followed Song Qingming for many years had also successfully reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, only one step away from the Core Formation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the fat-faced cultivator before him, whose cultivation was only at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, really had no courage to fight against the fierce-looking \"Ice-Fire Flood Dragon\" before him, and could only kneel down with a \"thump\" toward Song Qingming's location with a face full of regret. \u003C\u002Fp>",4262,"2026-06-14T04:03:38.943Z","2026-06-18T03:38:37.614Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0ca63dcc6eeaa5aef2309b4cd0a0aed8045683550f898e44fc34f57b4ec53a2a","the-qinghe-song-clan-chapter-772","the-qinghe-song-clan-chapter-770",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
