Zhou Yang never had a single talk in the Zhou family.
Whenever he has any major decisions or matters to be announced, he will first inform other clan members at a family meeting and solicit opinions from the majority of clan members.
But he may not say anything, but others may not really have the courage to refute his decision.
Especially after his cultivation reached the Zifu stage, there were almost no such people.
The replacement of the patriarch of the Zhou family is certainly a huge event, and it can even be said to be one of the few things that cannot be decided by the patriarch.
But there are only a few Zhou family members who really dare to express their opinions on this important matter.
More importantly, Zhou Guangxiang is the only high-grade spiritual root monk in the Zhou family, and he has served as the deputy patriarch of the Zhou family for more than ten years. It can be said that it is reasonable and legal for him to take over the position of the head of the Zhou family.
No one can find a thorn in it.
So in the end, it was decided that Zhou Guangxiang would take over as the clan leader.
According to Zhou Yang's instructions, the ceremony to take over the clan leader will be held in one month. At that time, most of the monks of the Zhou family will be present to witness the ceremony, and the clan leaders of other vassal families will also be invited to watch the ceremony.
And during this month, Zhou Yang was not idle either.
According to his plan, after he officially steps down as the clan leader, he will take his Taoist companion Xiao Ying to Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortality.
So this month will be the last time he stays in the family.
During this period of time, he carried out a thorough cleaning of his private treasures and the contents of his family's treasury, and put everything he would take to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent into two storage rings, and some items
He stayed within the family.
At this time, the benefits of being the highest-level monk of the Zhou family were revealed.
As long as he felt that he could take away the items in the Zhou family's treasury, he would take them out without ceremony and throw them into the storage ring.
At the same time, of the 20,000 to 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones stored in the family's treasury, in addition to leaving 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones for the family's emergency use, he also put all of them into the storage ring.
Of course, only a few high-level foundation building officials of the Zhou family knew about this matter. Those in the Qi-training period would not know about it, and those in the inner treasure house could not enter anyway.
Zhou Yang would not explain to these clansmen that he and his Taoist companion Xiao Ying had done all kinds of things for the family over the years, and that he had left things for the family as family heritage, so that the number of his family contribution points had accumulated.
As much as three to four hundred thousand.
That would only make the clan members think wildly, and would be detrimental to the stability of the family.
After sorting out the things, Zhou Yang also specially compiled a handbook of weapon refining tips and practice experience and gave them to Zhou Guangxiang for reference and study by the younger monks in the family.
His Taoist companion Xiao Ying also made a copy of her daily alchemy experience and kept it in the family for the alchemists in the family to study and study.
A month passed quickly like this.
A month later, in the presence of hundreds of Zhou family members and patriarchs of vassal families such as Ma Shaoyang, Zhou Yang resigned from the position of patriarch of the Zhou family in public, and retired from behind the scenes to become the supreme elder of the Zhou family.
After Zhou Yang stepped down as the patriarch, Zhou Guangxiang officially took over the position of patriarch from him and became the fifth generation patriarch of the Zhou family.
This year, Zhou Yang was 127 years old and Zhou Guangxiang was 87 years old.
Counting on one finger, since Zhou Yang took over as the head of the Zhou family at the age of thirty-four, he has been in this position for ninety-three years!
During the ninety-three years, he personally sent away two generations of the "Guang" and "Xuan" generations of the Zhou family, as well as the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, a monk of the "Ming" generation.
In ninety-three years, under his leadership, the Zhou family has grown from a small family that faced the risk of losing its inheritance to the Zifu family that is now full of talents and strong soldiers.
His achievements during his term of office exceeded that of any other patriarch of the Zhou family, and his contribution to the family was unparalleled by anyone in the Zhou family.
All monks of the Zhou family now, and all descendants of the Zhou family in the future, will always remember the contribution of this fourth-generation patriarch to the family, and his achievements will remain in the family history forever.
"Zhou Yuanyang, the fourth generation patriarch of the Zhou clan, was born in the 192nd year of the Zhou clan calendar to his father Zhou Xuanhao, mother Lin Yuting, and Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
Practicing Qi, building a foundation at the age of thirty-four, and taking over the position of the Zhou family clan leader that year...Zi Mansion at the age of 105...resigned from the position of clan leader at the age of 127, and became the supreme elder of the Zhou family in the same year...merits and faults
For thousands of years, virtue has been passed down for eternity, and this is the only one in the Zhou family!" "History of the Zhou Family: Biography of the Great Ancestor Zhou Yuanyang"
The merits and demerits of right and wrong will be judged by future generations.
Zhou Yang doesn't care what kind of evaluation he will receive in the future. Immortal cultivators only seek immortality and nothing else.
Fame and fortune are like clouds for him, and everything ultimately serves the purpose of "immortality."
Therefore, after he resigned as the clan leader, he openly told his clan members that he would practice seclusion in his cave and become a happy elder.
In fact, after he explained everything, he quietly took Taoist companion Xiao Ying to Huangshamen and paid a visit to the head of Huangshamen, Zhang Yunpeng.
"This is the [Hidden Spirit Incense] prepared for Fellow Daoist Zhou. This thing is quite difficult to make. Fellow Daoist must not use it outside casually. Otherwise, if Fellow Daoist wants to return to the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality in the future, he will have to risk crossing the Duanyun Mountain Range!
"
"In addition, this storage bag contains a heavy gift that Master prepared before his death. I asked fellow Taoist Zhou to deliver it to Senior Qingyang on his behalf. This is Master's last wish. I hope fellow Taoist will never refuse!"
"Finally, this storage bag contains 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Fellow Daoist Zhou is going to Liuyun Continent to cultivate the immortal world. If there is [Purple Heart Chalcedony] for sale at the auction, I hope you can help Huang Shamen to take it."
For one portion, as long as the price is no more than 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones, fellow Taoist can increase the price as much as you like!"
Inside Huangshamen, Zhang Yunpeng saw Zhou Yang arriving, and immediately handed him the things he had prepared long ago, and at the same time told him his request.
Zhou Yang knew that Zhang Yunpeng quietly went to Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortality a few years ago. The purpose was to bring back Yang Wenxiong, a monk from Huangshamen and Zifu who went to Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortality with him. By the way, he also brought back the traitors who had been suppressed.
After collecting the spiritual stones and treasures from the temple, go to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent to purchase spiritual objects for opening up the Zi Mansion.
It's just that Zhang Yunpeng didn't seem to have good luck. Although he successfully picked up Yang Wenxiong during that trip, he failed to purchase a precious spiritual object like "Purple Heart Chalcedony" as he wished.
After all, even in the Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World, such spiritual objects are not available for sale everywhere at any time. They can only be obtained at large-scale auctions and high-level monk exchange meetings, and Zhang Yunpeng obviously did not dare to do so.
Those who stayed in the immortal world of Liuyunzhou for too long.
So when he heard Zhang Yunpeng's request, he just pondered for a moment, took everything in his hands, and then said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Head Zhang, if you really encounter that kind of opportunity, Zhou will definitely help."
of."
After speaking, he paused, then looked at Zhang Yunpeng solemnly and said: "At the same time, Zhou also asked Head Zhang to help take care of the Zhou family after Zhou leaves!"
Zhang Yunpeng also solemnly assured after hearing this: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhou, if the Zhou family really encounters any difficulties while Fellow Daoist is away, as long as Zhang can help, he will risk his life."
We will definitely protect the Zhou family!"
"Then Zhou will thank Head Zhang here first!"
Zhou Yang slightly cupped his hands to express his gratitude, and then, with Zhang Yunpeng personally seeing him off, he quietly left Huangshamen and officially embarked on his second journey to the world of immortality in Liuyunzhou.
This time he went to the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Liuyun Continent. Zhou Yang no longer had anyone to escort him, so he had to go alone. Moreover, he also had to take his Taoist companion Xiao Ying with him, which was quite stressful.
Fortunately, he had memorized the route to the Immortal Cultivation World in Liuyun Continent last time, and the Huangsha Sect also kept a rough route map. Zhang Yunpeng also gave him a copy this time.
With a road map and his last memory, at least he doesn't have to worry about getting lost in the vast mountains, which is very important.
The Duanyun Mountain Range is vast and boundless. If you get lost in it, Zhou Yang may not be able to come out alive even if he has the strength of the Golden Core Stage.
He flew with his sword and took Xiao Ying along Cao Wenjin's original route into the mountain, flying over a snow peak that was lower than other snow peaks into the mountain.
After entering the mountain, he immediately lit the "Hidden Spirit Incense" and then flew over the snow-capped mountains at top speed into the clouds and mist behind the snow-capped mountains.
The vast clouds and mist obscured the figures on the flying sword, making it impossible for any monster that did not come within a hundred meters of Zhou Yang to spot the couple.
But after all, Zhou Yang is not Cao Wenjin. Although his spiritual consciousness is strong, it is far inferior to Cao Wenjin. He cannot be like Cao Wenjin, who can detect the approach of monsters in advance sixty or seventy miles away.
This resulted in him sometimes just discovering a flying monster flying backwards in the clouds and mist in front of him, and before he could slow down and turn to avoid it, the monster discovered their whereabouts.
Every time at this time, he could only strike first and kill the monster with a thunderbolt before it issued a warning.
With his current strength, unless he encounters a fourth-level monster, all third-level monsters are a matter of one sword attack.
Often, as soon as those monsters discovered his whereabouts, their heads would be beheaded by flying swords that suddenly emerged from the clouds and mist behind them.
When these monsters died, Zhou Yang would not let their corpses fall down to be discovered by other monsters, but put them directly into the storage ring.
These two storage rings, when he was cultivating in the boundless sand sea, he never dared to wear them on his hands and use them, for fear of being discovered and deduced from where they came from.
But this time when he went to the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent, he no longer needed to hide it.
In the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent, some wealthy Zifu monks would also purchase a storage ring.
After all, storage rings are many times better than storage bags in terms of storage space and safety.
