Background / History

The Song bloodline traces its origins to an ancient True Immortal lineage. During the Lineage War, the direct line fled from the Southern Domain to the Eastern Domain, while several branches remained behind to preserve the family name. The departing line divided the Family Heirloom Blood Jade into six pieces as collateral for the branches that lent their elite cultivators to escort them across the Rift Canyon Sea. 103

The southern branches gradually lost contact with the Eastern Domain main line. Their ancestral homeland remained near Great Zhou, where one returning branch established the Song Manor in Luofeng City. To prevent a single disaster from destroying the entire bloodline, the family maintained strict separation between branches; Song Tonghai and his elder brother Song Tongxuan were separated in childhood and communicated only by letter for decades. 11 90

By the beginning of the story, Song Manor was a respected martial family. Its status rose sharply after Song Lingqing was chosen by an Immortal and entered a Hidden Immortal Sect. This prominence also drew the attention of Great Zhou’s imperial house, which had discovered recurring Immortal Seeds among aristocratic Song families and suspected a connection to an ancient Heavenly Lord surnamed Song. 1 24

The Song Manor became caught in conflict involving Great Zhou, Immortal Sects, and the Song bloodline. It was ultimately erased, leaving a bottomless abyss at its former site; later visitors believed the Song Family had been exterminated. Surviving members and other branches nevertheless endured in Giant Marsh and elsewhere in the Southern Domain. 37 103

Story Role / Major Arcs

Great Zhou Crisis

Song Manor’s association with Song Lingqing’s Immortal Sect status made it a target for political and cultivation-world pressure. Song Tonghai and Song Lingxue prepared to flee Great Zhou, while Song Lingxue considered sacrificing herself in a marriage alliance to protect the family. 10 12

After repeated attacks and official interference, Song Manor was destroyed. Its destruction became widely known in Great Zhou, though surviving family members later regrouped through the Giant Marsh branch and other Song descendants. 37 90

Discovery of the Blood Jade

Chu Zheng discovers the damaged Family Heirloom Blood Jade in Song Tongxuan’s storehouse. The relic reveals that the Song Family possesses an inheritance far older and more significant than its surviving branches realize. 90 91

Song Xian’s arrival at the ruins of the Great Zhou Song Family exposes the existence of the Eastern Domain Song Clan and confirms that the southern branches are remnants of a larger True Immortal bloodline. 103

Conflict Over the Secret Realm

The Eastern Domain Song Clan seeks the Blood Jade and initially attempts to reclaim the Secret Realm for itself. Song Shengming’s negotiations prioritize the main line’s interests, while Chu Zheng insists that the Southern Domain branches receive their share. 130 140 143

Meanwhile, the Southern Domain Song Clan faces pressure from the Shang Family, which seeks a marriage alliance. Song Yusang ultimately rejects this path, chooses independence, and accepts Chu Zheng’s offer of protection and relocation to Tai Xuan City. 137 138

Relocation to Tai Xuan City

The Southern Domain Song Clan leaves the Barren Wind Kingdom under Grand Xuan’s protection and receives a rent-free settlement zone in northern Tai Xuan City. Grand Xuan does not demand submission; the clan remains independent. 138 140

The Eastern Domain Song Clan later apologizes and provides its hereditary Immortality Method, the Divine Essence Tribulation Transformation Scripture. It is granted limited access to the Heritage Secret Realm in exchange for providing direct-line blood for future openings. 143

Return to the Southern Domain

After witnessing the Southern Domain branches’ bloodline improvements, Song Tingkui decides that the Eastern Domain Song Clan should return to its ancestral roots in the Southern Domain rather than remain in the Eastern Domain’s factional struggles. 144
