When Song Changsheng arrived at the Cloud Reaching Hall, Great Elder Song Xianyun and Second Elder Song Luzhou were already waiting in front of the door, and there was no one else.

This combination is very interesting. After Song Xianming broke through the Purple Mansion, Song Xianyun became the first person in Lineage's generation with the word "fairy", Song Luzhou was the first person in the generation with the word "road", and Song Changsheng was the first person in the generation with the word "long".

"It would be perfect if Qingxing were here too." Song Changsheng's thoughts were a little wandering, wondering how he had been living outside in the past few years.

"Changsheng is also out of seclusion, and his cultivation has improved again. Not bad, not bad." Song Xianyun stroked his gray beard, his eyes full of relief.

"Hmph, how dare you come out, that brat?" Song Luzhou hugged his arms and looked unhappy.

That meeting three years ago was a waste of money, but Song Changsheng actually made a decision first and later. When Song Luzhou found out, he almost lost his temper and had a cerebral hemorrhage. He returned to Vast Peak from Wangyue Market angrily, intending to find Song Changsheng's "theory", but after asking, he found out, hey, he was in retreat.

The real owner can't be found, and the raw rice has already been cooked. No matter how angry Song Luzhou is, he can only hold his nose and admit it.

Now that I see Song Changsheng, the feeling of Nameless Karmic Fire in my heart is suddenly evoked again.

Song Changsheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Fifth Uncle, those Spirit Stone are piled up in the warehouse and they won't give birth to babies. What are they doing?"

He has always adhered to the principle that only used Spirit Stone is Spirit Stone, and the ones piled in the warehouse are no different from the stones in the pit.

But Song Luzhou didn't think so and said angrily, "You know nothing."

Song Xianyun watched the two arguing with a smile and had no intention of stopping it. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with what the two people said, but their thoughts and starting points were different.

People who came from that era were afraid of poverty, and they wanted to pile up whatever they had in the warehouse. Only by looking at the pile of things did they feel at ease.

This is a collision between new and old ideas. Each has its own reasons. It depends on which one of them can convince whom.

"Rumble"

At this moment, Cloud Reaching Hall's heavy door slowly opened, and Song Xianming's gentle voice came out. "Come in, everyone."

When several people stepped into the hall, they immediately felt an extremely powerful aura coming towards them, causing their breathing to stagnate slightly.

I saw Song Xianming wearing a gray-white robe, sitting cross-legged on a bright yellow lotus pattern Meditation Cushion, surrounded by a light layer of purple qi.

Compared with before, most of the wrinkles on his face have disappeared, and the flesh and blood under the skin is not so shriveled. It has become plump and plump, making him more than twenty years younger.

"Congratulations to Elder Brother for joining Purple Mansion, congratulations to Elder Brother, and congratulations to Lineage!" Song Xianyun saluted meticulously, with crystal tears shining in his eyes. He has been waiting for this day for too long.

"My nephew congratulates my uncle." Song Luzhou lifted up his clothes, knelt on his knees, and bowed his head respectfully.

"My grandson congratulates Grandfather and wishes Grandfather a prosperous spring and autumn and a prosperous immortality!" Song Changsheng was also extremely excited, holding Ling Yun, who was already sleeping, and knelt down to worship him.

Jinxuan, who had transformed into the size of a palm again, crawled out of his sleeves and kowtowed to Song Xianming. In Demon Race's world, the strong have always been respected.

A breakthrough, which seems like a small step for Song Xianming, is actually a big step for the entire Song Clan!

"No need to be polite, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." Song Xianming smiled brightly, raised his right hand, and an invisible force suddenly lifted several people up.

Looking at the dense wrinkles on Song Xianyun's face, Song Xianming sighed slightly and said, "Twenty-first Brother, I have worked hard for you these years."

Since he was injured, Lineage's affairs have been taken care of by Song Xianyun. Now he has gone a step further and gained more longevity. However, the old brother who worked hand in hand in the past has grown old, which makes Song Xianming feel very uncomfortable.

Song Xianyun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not hard, I can watch Lineage prosper, it's all worth it."

"Don't worry, Lineage's former glory will definitely be restored in our hands. You must take care of yourself and see that day with your own eyes."

"Well, I will, I will!" Song Xianyun nodded heavily.

"Revival Lineage", just four words, has almost become the obsession of their generation. If they can't see that day with their own eyes, they will really die with tears in their eyes.

"Song Luzhou, you will have to shoulder the burden of immortality in the future." Song Xianming turned his attention to Song Luzhou.

This sentence almost designated him as the next Great Elder, but Song Luzhou did not feel happy. He only felt that there was a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, don't worry, nephew, please remember."

Finally, Song Xianming's eyes fell on Song Changsheng. Seeing that face gradually overlap with his memory, his eyes became softer and softer.

"That's Yun'er in your arms. It's grown so big. Come closer." Song Xianming waved.

Song Changsheng followed the instructions and walked forward with Ling Yun in his arms. Jinxuan looked at it for a while, and finally followed him.

Looking at the sleeping little guy, Song Xianming showed a kind smile on his face, gently hugged him over, touched his forehead with his palm, nodded and said, "Yes, he is a good boy, and he will definitely be a pillar of Lineage in the future."

After that, he took out a beautiful white Jade Pendant from his arms and placed it in the little guy's arms.

Song Changsheng blinked. What Old Master said didn't sound like a cliche. Did he see something from Ling Yun?

Facing his doubtful gaze, Song Xianming smiled and said nothing. Instead, he looked at Jinxuan and said, "Is this your Spirit Beast?"

"Reporting to the lord, that's right." Jinxuan responded respectfully.

A trace of surprise flashed in Song Xianming's eyes. Horizontal Bone was refined so quickly. It seemed that he had good blood. He said gently, "You are also very good."

"Uncle, I wonder when Violet Palace Grand Ceremony will be held?" Song Luzhou asked with a heartbroken look on his face.

Although Violet Palace Grand Ceremony spent a lot of money, he was announcing to Tianxia that Song Clan had once again joined the ranks of Great Qi Cultivation World's "prominent family". Even if he searched again, this matter would not be able to be done in a shabby way, and he would have to do something special!

Just thinking about the horrific cost, Song Luzhou still feels heartbroken and unable to breathe.

"Let's set it after March."

Having just made a breakthrough, Song Xianming still has a lot to do, such as getting familiar with the realm, understanding Minor Divine Ability, refining Law Treasure, etc. Three months are already very short.

"Yes, my nephew, I will tell you to go down now."

Song Changsheng glanced at Song Xianyun and understood that they still had something to say between the two old brothers. He consciously handed over his hands and said, "My grandson will also go and help."

After they left, Song Xianming and Song Xianyun were the only two people left in the hall.

The two sat opposite each other, and Song Xianyun asked strangely, "Are you not going to let Changsheng take your place?"

This was what the two had discussed privately before. After Song Xianming breaks through Purple Palace Stage, Position of Clan Head will be passed on to Song Changsheng from Violet Palace Grand Ceremony, and he himself will be promoted to Grand Elder. From then on, he will concentrate on training and no longer interfere with Lineage's affairs.

Because the two agreed that the re-emerging Song Clan is like a newborn sun, and it needs a young and energetic leader to lead Lineage to climb higher mountains.

But Song Xianming didn't mention this matter just now, which made him a little puzzled.

Song Xianming sighed and stood up after hearing this, and said quietly, "Every generation has its own affairs. Some things must come to an end in the hands of us old guys. Only then can I safely hand Lineage into the hands of Changsheng!"

The news that Song Xianming broke through the Purple Mansion was like a gust of wind, and it quickly spread to Ling Province, then Seven Southwestern Provinces, and gradually spread to the entire Great Qi Cultivation World.

The birth of a Purple Palace Cultivator is actually nothing if you look at the entire Great Qi Cultivation World, but who named the breakthrough person Song Xianming?

A hundred years ago, Song Xianming was born, defeating most of the geniuses of his generation, and became famous as Tianxia. Then the name quickly fell like a comet and disappeared from the public eye.

When this name rang again, it was accompanied by the news that he failed to break through the Purple Mansion. At that time, many people sighed, thinking that a genius had completely fallen.

But who would have known that more than twenty years later, he would actually succeed in breaking through, which instantly attracted the attention of many veteran Purple Palace Cultivators.

If others were surprised, Wuling Sect, Liuyun Sect and others were terrified.

Purple Palace Cultivator is the only master in this land of Ling Province. Song Clan has returned to the position of overlord of Ling Province. Do they have any good fruits to eat?

On the Liuyun Mountain Range, White Cloud Peak, Du Huating, Li Siyang, Yu Chengshan, Qiu Tianyang and others gathered together. The atmosphere was a bit solemn. The news that Song Xianming broke through the Purple Mansion was like a mountain pressing on their chests, making them breathless.

After a long time, Qiu Tianyang stretched out his big hand and patted the table, and said angrily, "What are you holding back for? Talk, what should we do next!"

"Why are you yelling? Can yelling solve the problem?" Yu Chengshan replied distractedly.

Li Siyang sneered a few times and didn't even bother to say anything. He just watched Yu Chengshan and Qiu Tianyang arguing with cold eyes.

The two of them were not trying to deal with each other, but after a few quarrels, they immediately got really angry. The quarrel gradually turned into scolding, and in the end, they even almost fisted each other!

"That's enough! You are noisy and have no manners, and you are not afraid that Disciples will laugh at you?" Du Huating slapped the table to stop the quarrel between the two.

But he soon learned what it meant to get burned. Qiu Tianyang glared at him and said, "You still have the nerve to talk? Who said that Chang Wudao could break through the Purple Mansion?

It's been several years, and I haven't even seen Chang Wudao in person! "

"Hmph, he might have died in there a long time ago." Yu Chengshan said coldly.

The reason why they merged together was that apart from the fact that Song Clan and Liuyun Sect were powerful and they had to unite their strength to protect themselves, the pie that Du Huating originally drew for them also played a crucial role.

What is that pie? That is, Chang Wudao will definitely break through the Purple Mansion before Song Xianming, and then lead them to punch Song Clan and kick Liuyun Sect, and everyone will dominate Ling Province together!

The result?

Song Xianming has been released from seclusion, but they don't even know whether Chang Wudao is dead or alive.

They feel they have been shamefully cheated!

Du Huating's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but he could not refute. In the face of the facts, all words seemed so pale.

"If it doesn't work, let's run away and join Coalition Army. With our strength, we can definitely conquer a piece of territory." A middle-aged monk sitting in the corner said loudly.

He is Rogue Cultivator who has been absorbed in the past two years. He just wants to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but has no intention of working for the Wuling Sect.

His proposal was unexpectedly supported by many people, including the Li Siyang series and the Qiu Tianyang series. Their foundations in Ling Province were almost destroyed, and there was no psychological burden at all in leaving.

But Du Huating and Yu Chengshan are firmly opposed. The foundation of both of them is Ling Province. How could they give up in vain?

For a moment, there was another noisy group in the hall.

At the end, Qiu Tianyang roared, "I can't fight but I can't, I can't run but I can't. What on earth do you want!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. It seemed that there were only two roads in front of them. They could either resist here and wait for the Song Clan's chariot to crush them, or they could only abandon their family business and enter Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to open up wasteland.

At this moment, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on Du Huating's face, which was originally serious. He stood up and said, "The matter has not reached that point yet. Please give me a little more time. Let's adjourn the meeting for today."

After that, regardless of everyone's reaction, he left in a hurry.

Qiu Tianyang and the others looked at each other, wondering what he was convulsing about.

"Could it be that Chang Wudao has news?"

"If that's the case, maybe it's not that bad."

As soon as this guess came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more relaxed...

On the other side, Du Huating had arrived at the door of a hidden dark room. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and whispered, "Master, is it going to happen?"

"Boom"

The secret door opened on its own, and a cold breath hit his face, making Du Huating shiver involuntarily.

"Come in and talk." Chang Wudao's voice was a little hoarse.

Du Huating walked in and immediately saw Chang Wudao sitting cross-legged on a White Bone Altar.

His current condition was very bad, his hair was disheveled, his cheeks were thin, and he was shrouded in a vague black air. His clothes hung loosely on his body, revealing his withered body.

"Master?" Du Huating was shocked. Was this a failure?

Chang Wudao glanced at him faintly, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

"Why panic? It's just that the consumption is relatively large. That old guy Song Xianming has already exceeded Purple Mansion?" Chang Wudao said coldly.

"Yes, just today." Du Huating was flustered when he saw him, and he lowered his head and responded.

"I didn't expect him to take the lead." Chang Wudao's face instantly darkened, and he looked at Du Huating and said, "I have reached the last step now, but there is still something missing."

"Master, please tell me, I will do my best." Du Huating was overjoyed when he heard this and said impatiently.

"Please come over here."

Du Huating followed the instructions and Chang Wudao whispered a few words. A look of shock appeared on his face, which quickly turned into panic!
