Ling Province, Vast Peak.
In a retreat cave abode located at the top of the mountain, Song Qingxing sat cross-legged on a bright yellow lotus pattern Meditation Cushion, as motionless as a sculpture.
The completely black [Traceless Sword] lay across his knees, shining with a soul-stirring cold light under the weak candlelight.
As night falls, Array located above cave abode slowly rotates, pulling down the cold and white moonlight, so that Song Qingxing's entire body is shrouded in hazy light.
What Song Qingxing practices is Song Clan's secret method of suppressing the clan, which is derived from "Moon Radiance Technique" that Main Lineage Fourth-Order Heart Method inherited from "Moon Essence Refining Scripture".
Although it is also practiced with the help of moonlight essence, this skill is different from "Yin-Yang Profound Radiance Scripture" that Song Changsheng learned from Dao Scripture.
When practicing, you only need to bathe in the moonlight to achieve twice the result with half the effort, and it also has the effect of tempering the body of the gods. Therefore, the Song Clan people often practice faster than the disciples of other Ling Province factions.
But Song Qingxing cultivated to Qi Condensation Great Perfection when he was less than twenty years old. In the Song Clan's five hundred years of history, he can be regarded as a handful of people.
In addition to his hard work and talent, the most important thing is his determination and courage to follow the Tao.
Therefore, even though he knew that Lineage did not have [Foundation Establishment Pill] for the time being, he still resolutely chose to retreat and break through.
Unreasonable, but also expected, because he is such a person who never compromises for some external factors...
Along with the operation of his mind, strands of moonlight essence entered his limbs and bones along his oddly long breaths, followed Greater Celestial Circuit and then gathered in his dantian.
Repeating this cycle, Song Qingxing's Dantian slowly produced some changes.
Spiritual Power, which was originally like a ball of colorless air, gradually condensed and turned into a hazy mist. Under the operation of the mind, these "fogs" slowly gathered around a bright light spot in the center of the Dantian.
As time goes by, these "fogs" become thicker and thicker.
"Tick"
A drop of Spirit Liquid transformed from pure Spiritual Power dripped into the Dantian, and then more and more Spirit Liquid condensed out, gradually filling the entire Dantian.
"Spiritual Power Liquefaction" is an important symbol of the transformation from Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishment. The emergence of this phenomenon also means that Song Qingxing is about to usher in "Spiritual Power Stage" among Three Foundation Establishment Stages.
"Spiritual Power Stage" refers to the process in which the monk uses Spiritual Power in the body to attack the Foundation Establishment bottleneck. During this period, the Spiritual Power in the monk's body will fall into an extremely violent state.
If that's all, the key lies in "Spiritual Power Liquefaction". The Spiritual Power stored in the Dantian is ten times or even a hundred times more than before!
Such a huge force cannot be controlled by the monks in time. After the riot, it becomes even more fierce. It will continuously destroy the monks' Dantian and meridians. If they are not careful, their heart meridians will be severed.
Throughout the ages, I don't know how many people have fallen to this step.
The main function of [Foundation Establishment Pill] is to neutralize the violent Spiritual Power, but Song Qingxing who has not taken [Foundation Establishment Pill] has no choice but to resist.
Once this process started, it was irreversible, but Song Qingxing still mobilized the Spiritual Power in the body as quickly as possible to start hitting the bottleneck, without even the slightest thought or hesitation.
"Boom——"
This time, it was like a spark falling into a dry woodpile, instantly sparking a raging fire.
Song Qingxing only felt that Spiritual Power in his body was sometimes like a torrent of floods, rushing through his meridians and Dantian, and sometimes it felt like a raging fire that wanted to turn him into ashes.
The violent Spiritual Power continued to impact like a tide. The severe pain caused an abnormal flush to appear on his stern and stern face, and a bloody smell filled his throat.
Song Qingxing still stood erect, gritted his teeth and remained silent.
But his body began to tremble uncontrollably, and beads of sweat the size of peas began to leak out from his forehead, dripping down his cheeks and falling to the ground, soon soaking the floor in front of him.
I don't know how much time passed, but the violent Spiritual Power was gradually calmed down, breaking through the closed acupoints all the way, and finally reorganizing all the Spiritual Power into his Dantian. By this time, his Dantian had been expanded several times.
Spiritual Power re-condensed into a liquid state and was stored in his dantian, and the bright light in his dantian, the Sword Embryo that Sword Venerable Wushang helped him condense, also underwent earth-shaking changes at this moment, turning into a side of "Spiritual Platform", with a mysterious symbol slowly forming on it.
The Spiritual Power in the dantian revolved around it, forming a faint vortex.
It was difficult to get through "Spiritual Power Stage". Even Song Qingxing was a little exhausted, but he only took a short rest and then non-stop running the acupoints around his body to draw spiritual energy to temper his body and enter "Physical Body Stage".
Sword Cultivator has always relied only on the sword in their hands, so they have only scratched the surface of spells and Hundred Arts of Cultivation and are not proficient in them. This also gives them more free time and energy.
And they often put this part of their energy into body training.
Song Qingxing is no exception.
This is also thanks to Song Changsheng and Song Luhai.
Song Luhai can be said to be the leader of Song Qingxing Dao Path. From the beginning, he was aware of Song Qingxing's talent in swordsmanship, so he always intentionally guided him to temper his body while practicing swordsmanship.
Later, when Song Changsheng was responsible for teaching him, he often instilled in him the importance of physical training.
There are two reasons for this.
First, Sword Qi is fierce and often attacks the physical body of monks during practice. Without a strong body, it is difficult to achieve success in the way of swordsmanship.
Secondly, it is easier for those who practice Body Cultivator to survive "Physical Body Stage".
For example, when Song Changsheng broke through Foundation Establishment, "Spiritual Power Stage" tortured him to death, but "Physical Body Stage" got through it easily.
For example, in large and well-established sects such as Golden Crow Sect and Heavenly Meridian Sect, the core disciples within the sect are basically fellow practitioners of the Dharma body.
And the legendary Five Great Sacred Lands, Dharma body fellow practitioners are even the standard equipment of Disciples...
Over the years, Song Qingxing has made some achievements in body training. Although it has not reached the level of perversion that can challenge Spirit Artifact, it is not difficult to survive "Physical Body Stage", but it will have to suffer some physical and mental torture.
Ever since, Song Qingxing quickly came to the last step of Foundation Establishment, which is also the most uncontrollable step - "Divine Soul Stage".
For those monks who are pure and selfless in their hearts, this test can be passed in the blink of an eye, easier than drinking water.
However, it is impossible for most monks to keep their minds clear of distracting thoughts, so they will be harassed by Inner Demon and Divine Soul. If they are not careful, they will Cultivation Deviation. In severe cases, they may even bleed to death on the spot, which is extremely dangerous.
Among them, those with psychological shadows are the most common, because Inner Demon will constantly provoke or even amplify these shadows, disturbing the monks' sanity.
So why is it said that the sooner you break through Foundation Establishment, the better? It is precisely because the older you are, the more things you have experienced, the more dirty things you have seen and done, and it is easier for Inner Demon to take advantage of you.
When Song Changsheng agreed that Song Qingxing would not take [Foundation Establishment Pill] for retreat, it was also because he was physically strong, devoted to the Tao, and mentally determined. Neither "Physical Body Stage" nor "Divine Soul Stage" would pose a big threat to him, so he was relieved.
But a wise man will make a mistake after thinking a lot.
Song Changsheng Thousands of calculations were made, but one thing was missed...
Inside cave abode, Song Qingxing, who looked slightly pale, sat cross-legged, his eyebrows wrinkled together unconsciously, and a faint black air appeared between his eyebrows.
The black energy gradually spread out, slowly submerging him...
From the first conversation between Song Changsheng and Song Qingxing, he understood that this son had a cold nature and was indifferent to lust. This could not be said to be a bad thing. In fact, in this treacherous Cultivation World, it was actually a good thing.
It's just that he shouldn't, he was born in a Cultivation Family, and he still has such an outstanding talent.
If he has ordinary qualifications, Lineage will train him to adulthood, and then let him out to take care of the Lineage industry.
But he is such a genius.
For this reason, Family Council of Elders also specially opened a meeting with Clan Meeting to discuss this matter, and also sent a special person to investigate the growth trajectory of Song Qingxing.
However, the results showed that the environment and trajectory of Song Qingxing's growth were completely normal. He had not received any stimulation or experience of being bullied. Lineage was even very kind to their family.
No matter how you look at it, his condition is caused by nature rather than nurture. He is a naturally ruthless person, which is undoubtedly the most difficult thing.
Dao of Ruthlessness It's really terrible, Human Race There are many examples in history of monks massacring their entire family in order to attain enlightenment.
So at that time, some people even planned to destroy Song Qingxing's Dantian and let him spend his life in Mortal World.
Fortunately, this proposal was rejected by Song Xianyun, and Song Changsheng's suggestion was finally adopted, and he and Song Qingxi were placed outside Little Green Mountain.
This is not only to straighten the "crooked bamboo shoot" of Song Qingxing, but also to minimize his presence in Lineage. Once Council of Elders feels that he is irredeemable and destroys him, it will not cause any waves in Lineage.
And Song Luhai is the monitor.
No one is willing to take action against a promising junior, but Dao of Ruthlessness is really terrifying. Even if he is expelled from Lineage, the other party will not hesitate to raise the butcher's knife the day he needs to be enlightened.
No one dares to gamble.
But despite this, over the years, Song Clan has been very considerate to Song Qingxing. The status and treatment given to him are in accordance with the standards of Purple Palace Seed, and he has never restricted his freedom.
Fortunately, the performance of Song Qingxing over the years has not disappointed, and everything is developing for the better.
At least Song Changsheng felt that the emotions shown by Song Qingxing became richer, so he brought him back to Vast Peak and lived with Xia Yunxue and others.
They get along fairly harmoniously.
With all these things, those who let Song Clan know the inside story were happy from the bottom of their hearts, because it meant that they did not need to destroy a Lineage genius with their own hands.
However, behind all this, everyone has misjudged one thing.
Song Qingxing's character is not inherently flawed!
Countless black mist silently poured into Song Qingxing's body. When he opened his eyes again, he had appeared in a strange space that looked like a ghost.
This space is extremely desolate. As far as the eye can see, all creatures are killing each other, and the land has turned dark red under the long-term soaking of blood.
He walked among them like an outsider, looking at everything around him with cold eyes.
Anyone he noticed, he could learn their identity and the reason for the fight.
Among them, there are father and son, mother and son, brothers, married couples, classmates and close friends...
They raised their butcher's knives for various reasons, which may be ridiculous, absurd, or sad. It seems that there is not a single good person in this world.
Unknowingly, Song Qingxing suddenly felt that his head became extremely heavy, his consciousness became a little dazed, and there was an inexplicable emotion growing in his heart.
"What do you think after seeing these?" A seductive voice sounded in Song Qingxing's ears.
But the only response he received from Song Qingxing was a cold word "Go away".
The voice was speechless for a moment, but soon continued in a persuasive way, "You see, emotions are such ridiculous and ridiculous things. They are all burdens and will only become a burden for a person, and sometimes even bring disaster.
Only by abandoning these burdens can you go further on Path to Longevity..."
The voice echoed in Song Qingxing's mind, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
Gradually, a touch of violence and madness gradually emerged in Song Qingxing's heart, and he even identified with the voice in his mind.
"Buzz"
The space in front of him suddenly distorted, and a middle-aged man's figure emerged. Who was it if it wasn't Song Luhai who had passed away?
"Kill him, kill him, kill him and you will gain great power!" The voice sounded in his mind again.
Looking at that face, a trace of struggle appeared on Song Qingxing's face, but his hand was raised involuntarily, and he didn't know when there was a sword in his hand.
"Shua"
The long sword passed by, and the great head rose into the sky.
The moment he killed "Song Luhai", an invisible energy was instantly injected into his body, and his realm quickly climbed from Qi Condensation Great Perfection to Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
"Jie Jie Jie, yes, that's it."
The space was distorted again, and the figure of Song Changsheng appeared in front of his eyes.
"Kill him and cut off the burden, and you will gain more power!" The voice sounded again, a little more eager than before.
Song Qingxing, who had been completely controlled by the magic sound, heard this and swung his sword to kill "Song Changsheng" without hesitation.
Sure enough, the next moment his level climbed to Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. That powerful power made Song Qingxing feel extremely happy, which was something he had never felt before.
Then, Xia Yunxue, Little Ling Yun, Song Luzhou...
Individual figures appeared in front of him. This time, he did not need to be bewitched by the voices in his head, and he killed them all with his sword with a grin on his face.
The warm blood splashed onto his face, and he felt extremely excited and happy. He had gained unprecedented power!
Finally, the figure of Song Qingxi emerged.
"Kill her, and you will become an immortal. Feathering Ascension. From now on, you will live as long as the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon will shine together!" The voice no longer concealed its madness, and let out a sharp and harsh laugh.
Looking at that beautiful and beautiful face, Song Qingxing, whose face was stained with blood, was holding a bloody sword, silently stepping over the pool of blood and corpses, and approached step by step...
