Chapter 401

Song Qingming also cherished this rare opportunity very much. Unlike the insights on forming a core he had seen in those classics before, a Golden Core cultivator personally speaking out his own insights on breaking through to Golden Core was a different personal experience for all the Foundation Establishment cultivators present.

After listening to Chen Jinliang's preaching this time, Song Qingming not only learned a lot more about the Golden Core Great Dao, which was originally somewhat ethereal, but also had many brand-new insights into his own cultivation. Even some problems in his cultivation that had troubled him in the past now began to have many different insights.

After coming down from the mountaintop, the sky had already slowly darkened. Just as Song Qingming returned to his temporary cave dwelling and was about to sit in meditation to cultivate for a while, a sound transmission talisman suddenly passed through the restriction and flew into the cave dwelling. Song Qingming opened it and found that it was actually a sound transmission talisman sent to him by Old Ancestor Chen himself, notifying him to meet at the Jin Yun Pavilion early tomorrow morning.

Regarding this sudden invitation from the Golden Core Old Ancestor, a trace of surprise suddenly appeared on Song Qingming's face. He also did not know what Old Ancestor Chen had, and why he invited him to the Jin Yun Pavilion again.

Since the Golden Core Old Ancestor had come forward to invite him personally, Song Qingming naturally did not dare not to give this bit of face, so he came directly to the Jin Yun Pavilion early the next morning.

As soon as he entered the door, what surprised Song Qingming was that this place, which had been bustling with activity just a few days ago, was unusually quiet today. Except for a few clerks standing there, he did not see a single guest.

"Senior Song, the Old Ancestor is waiting for you upstairs. Come up with me quickly!" Seeing Song Qingming walk in, a woman dressed in the attire of a Jin Yun Pavilion clerk at the door immediately stepped forward and bowed to him.

Following this woman directly up to the fourth floor, Song Qingming arrived in a very empty large room. Besides some shelves with sundries, there was also a small magic array in the middle of this room.

"Is this a teleportation array?" Song Qingming just took a simple look at the magic array in front of him and quickly recognized it.

Upon hearing this, the woman nodded immediately and said: "By entering this teleportation array, Senior, you will be able to see the Old Ancestor. I have other guests to entertain, so I will take my leave first!"

I did not expect that there would be a teleportation array on the fourth floor of this Jin Yun Pavilion. It seems that the place this teleportation array leads to is likely near Old Ancestor Chen's cave dwelling.

As a white light lit up on the teleportation array, Song Qingming was quickly teleported to a room that was smaller than the previous one.

Just after being teleported over, Song Qingming immediately looked around and found that there was an open large door not far from the room. After walking out, Song Qingming quickly saw seven or eight cultivators standing in front of him, and not far from them, there were three figures looking at him who had just walked over.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you are here!"

Just after walking closer, a cultivator among these people suddenly walked out and greeted him. Song Qingming looked closely and found that it was Fang Wuqian, who had stayed behind with him yesterday to listen to Chen Jinliang preach.

Not only Fang Wuqian, but the other cultivators standing here were also the Foundation Establishment cultivators who had entered the top ten of the Sword Discussion Assembly and were qualified to sit on the mountaintop yesterday.

The three figures standing not far from this group of people were none other than the three Golden Core cultivators who had appeared in the trade fair before: Chen Jinliang, Ma Hongshan, and Chu Fengping of the Carefree Sect.

Seeing three Golden Core cultivators appear here all at once, Song Qingming was also full of surprise, not knowing what had happened and why Chen Jinliang had gathered all these cultivators here.

After Song Qingming bowed back to Fang Wuqian, he asked softly about the doubt in his heart. Unexpectedly, Fang Wuqian, like him, had also received Old Ancestor Chen's edict yesterday and came here. Not only him, but the other Foundation Establishment cultivators present were also the same.

Facing Old Ancestor Chen's sound transmission invitation, they, like Song Qingming, did not dare to be slow and came here one after another early in the morning. Because the people had not yet arrived, the three Golden Core Old Ancestors led by Old Ancestor Chen had not yet explained the purpose of gathering everyone this time.

After waiting for a while, until the last two cultivators walked into the hall, Chen Jinliang walked up with a smile and said to everyone:

"Everyone, little friends, being able to enter the top ten of this Mount Tuoyun Sword Discussion Assembly, you are all the best among Foundation Establishment cultivators. Today, I specially invited everyone here, actually, because there is an opportunity to form a core that I want to bestow upon you, fellow Daoists."

"Dare I ask Old Ancestor, what kind of opportunity is it?" Hearing Chen Jinliang speak of the opportunity to form a core, the many Foundation Establishment cultivators present instantly exploded, and they hurriedly asked anxiously.

Facing the urgent gazes of everyone at the scene, Chen Jinliang did not seem to be in a hurry. He gently touched the long whiskers at the corner of his mouth before continuing: "A few days ago, I discussed with Fellow Daoist Ma and Fellow Daoist Chu and decided to move against Great Black Mountain. If we can successfully kill that evil tiger this time, I have decided to use the materials on its body to refine a furnace of Jade Dust Pills. As long as anyone present is willing to follow us in this action, they can all get a pill after the elixir is refined."

Hearing Chen Jinliang say that he was preparing to move against Great Black Mountain, the expressions of Song Qingming and everyone present changed immediately, and they fell silent in an instant. Only Lin Yutian and that Fairy Qiudie still had calm expressions.

Great Black Mountain is located five thousand li northwest of Mount Tuoyun and has already penetrated deep into the Fuyun Mountain Range. This mountain is also a third-grade spiritual vein, occupied by a third-grade mid-tier demon king, the Black Flame Tiger.

This Black Flame Tiger demon king has very powerful strength. It came to the vicinity of Wei State in the Fuyun Mountain Range from the depths of the Northern Frontier during the last demon beast turmoil. This demon king once besieged Iron Immortal Valley for two years together with two other demon kings, causing great pressure on the northwest of Wei State. If it weren't for Old Ancestor Chen going to help in time during that battle, it would be hard to say whether Iron Immortal Valley could have held on until the demon beasts retreated by its own strength alone.

Hunting a third-grade demon king is not a joking matter. Song Qingming has cultivated for so many years, and except for hearing that several demon kings died in the hands of the Carefree Sect during the last demon beast turmoil, he had never heard of any cultivator in Wei State who dared to go deep into the Fuyun Mountain Range to plot against those demon kings.

A third-grade demon king not only has powerful strength, but also has great wisdom once it reaches the third grade, unlike those first or second-grade demon beasts that are easy to deal with. They not only divide their own territories to rule the demon beasts below, but also form alliances with nearby demon kings. Wanting to hunt them is not an easy thing.

Moreover, some demon kings with larger backgrounds will choose to rely on a Nascent Soul demon emperor. If cultivators go deep into the Fuyun Mountain Range to take action against them without knowing the situation, it might directly anger the nearby Nascent Soul demon emperor and bring huge disaster to the entire north of Wei State.
