Fame and fortune have always been the only magic weapons used by those in higher positions to win over those in lower positions.
Some people pursue fame, focus on the future, and hope that they can do something great during their lifetime, be remembered and admired by future generations, and still be sung by others thousands of years later.
Some people pursue interests and live in the present, wanting to gain immense power and boundless wealth so that they can squander and enjoy their lives.
Immortal cultivators are also human beings, and naturally they cannot escape the temptation of fame and fortune.
Zhou Yang praised Zhou Ronghua and several other descendants who sacrificed themselves for the interests of the family, and made them famous, making their names passed down through the ages and recorded in the annals of history. They became existences that countless Zhou family members would admire and revere in the future.
This, of course, made Zhou Ronghua and others extremely excited and excited, and their hearts were filled with gratitude to him.
But this is not enough. Zhou Yang not only wants to thank these people, he also wants to use these people as examples to establish a belief for the younger monks of the Zhou family, that is, as long as one is devoted to the family and the overall interests of the family,
, will definitely receive generous compensation from the family.
This compensation is not just an illusory reputation, but also real benefits.
Therefore, his promise to Zhou Ronghua and others is that as long as they can practice to the ninth level of foundation building before the age of two hundred, they will receive a [Purple Heart Chalcedony] free of charge to open up the Purple Mansion.
At the same time, if they leave descendants, counting from their descendants, three generations of descendants will be able to receive a Foundation Building Pill from the family for free for foundation building.
Glory for eternity, blessing future generations.
This is the example Zhou Yang has invested heavily to set for all the younger monks of the Zhou family. He tells them with tangible benefits, don’t be afraid of sacrifice, because there is a family standing behind you that will never wrong you even half a cent. As long as the family returns the favor,
On this day, your sacrifices will not be in vain, they are all worth it.
The power of role models is infinite, Zhou Yang knows this very well.
And it is easier to inspire people to follow the example if they are around them.
Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, may be too lofty in the eyes of today's new generation of Zhou family, making it difficult for people to empathize with him.
But Zhou Ronghua and other younger generations who are less than a hundred years old are one of these people. Maybe many people went to school with them and played in the mud together.
Such people, and the people around them, suddenly perform some heroic deeds and become role models for the whole clan to learn from. This has a great motivating effect on those who are similar in age and those who are older than them.
Just imagine, in the future, when members of the Zhou family face the same dilemma they faced that day, just remembering what these role models have done and learning to imitate their thoughts will definitely outweigh personal selfishness.
Zhou Ronghua, who played in the mud together, can do this and become a hero that everyone respects. Why can't I?
Zhou Ronghua, who I grew up watching playing in the mud, could sacrifice his life for his family and become an example for the younger generations of the family to learn from. As an elder, am I not as good as him?
As long as someone had this idea at that time, Zhou Yang's purpose of setting an example would have been achieved.
Of course, Zhou Ronghua and others could eat meat, and Zhou Shengying, Zhou Shengyu and others could also drink soup. In order to appease people's hearts, Zhou Yang gave these people some magical elixirs and treasures as rewards for their heroic battles.
After that, he went to visit Ye Yunshan and his wife, Ren Fei, and other registered disciples who were still alive, and each of them also gave some treasures to comfort them.
After calming these disciples in this way, Zhou Yang returned to the cave and continued to rest peacefully.
According to the agreement reached between him and Lin Yuxian, either when the enemy's attack is too strong and the mountain guarding formation is in a critical state, or when a counterattack is needed, he will be tried not to participate in the daily guarding work, so that he can free up time.
Come and rest in peace.
On the contrary, Xiao Ying became the busiest Jindan monk in Suyun Sect.
In Suyun Sect, many monks have suffered serious injuries due to the battles in the past few days. Previously, most of these people could only rely on the power of elixirs to assist in healing.
But after Xiao Ying arrived, her powerful healing spells immediately became the savior of these injured people.
Even at Zhou Yang's suggestion, Lin Yuxian, after discussing with the sect's golden elixir monks, did not hesitate to give up three fourth-level spiritual trees in the mountain gate, and let Xiao Ying use the "Rejuvenation Immortal Vase" to absorb the vitality power of Yimu to create
Three drops of "Rejuvenating Immortal Dew" were poured out, and then two drops of "Rejuvenating Immortal Dew" were used to cure most of the two golden elixir stage monks who had been severely injured before.
With this powerful healing spell, Xiao Ying quickly won the heartfelt gratitude and admiration of all the monks in Suyun Sect, and gained a lot of goodwill and favor.
This kind of battlefield with fierce life and death fights is the big stage for auxiliary monks like her, so that what she has learned can play its due role to the maximum extent, and she will not have nothing to show her magical skills.
Zhou Yang was also happy to see this result.
If nothing else happens, he and the Zhou family will have to make a living within the [Xuanqing Taoist Alliance] in the future. If they can form friendships with a large number of monks from the [Xuanqing Taoist Alliance] in advance, it will definitely have a great impact on their future practice life.
help.
So even though he saw Xiao Ying's mental state was extremely exhausted after she used a large number of spells to save people every day, while Zhou Yang felt distressed, he held back everything and did not stop her from continuing to do this kind of thing.
During war, every quarter of an hour's rest time is extremely precious.
On this day, after getting another ten days of valuable rest, Zhou Yang finally had to join the battle.
It turned out that the war situation at the Qiantian Sect on the other side had changed again, which allowed the enemy to increase their offensive power on the Suyun Sect's side.
"I still can't believe that Wang Daoyou would betray the Dao Alliance and give the Dao Alliance reinforcements a fatal blow at a critical moment!"
"What is he doing this for? Even if the Dao Alliance fails in this war and loses the Chang Kingdom, a traitor like him will definitely encounter endless assassinations by Dao Alliance masters after the war. His sect and descendants
All my disciples will also be wanted by the Tao Alliance for life!"
On an altar tens of feet high, Lin Yuxian looked at Zhou Yang who was invited to join the battle, looked at him with a complex expression and talked about the major events that happened in the Qiantian Sect.
It turned out that just five days ago, on the battlefield of the Qiantian Sect, the remaining monks and reinforcement monks of the [Xuanqing Dao Alliance] launched a fierce attack on the [Six Paths Alliance] side, preparing to completely defeat the opponent so as to reinforce other battlefields.
But at the critical moment of the attack, Wang Botong, a chubby golden elixir monk who had visited Chongxuan Mountain with Lin Yuxian to congratulate Xiao Ying when she formed the elixir, suddenly betrayed and assassinated a golden elixir member of the Xuanqing Taoist Alliance.
The ninth-level monks caused the [Xuanqing Dao Alliance] that originally had the upper hand to instantly fall into a disadvantage, and had to withdraw all its troops into the Qiantian Sect Mountain Gate, and entered a stalemate with the [Six Dao Alliance] again.
Zhou Yang only met this person once and didn't have much friendship, so after hearing about this incident, he was shocked but not too angry.
But judging from Lin Yuxian's appearance, she and Wang Botong must have had a close friendship, so after hearing about each other's betrayal, she still can't let go.
So when he heard her words, Zhou Yang pondered for a moment and then said warmly: "It's hard to know the heart when you know the face. Wang Botong's betrayal is not just from Fairy Lin. You can't believe it. I'm afraid even the seniors are caught off guard.
After all, this kind of sudden betrayal of high-level monks on the battlefield has not happened for many years!"
Betrayal in front of the battlefield may often happen in wars between mortals, but in a war between two super powers in the world of immortality, this kind of thing is extremely rare to encounter.
Because the price of such betrayal is too high!
It's so big that even a monk at the Nascent Soul stage can't easily bear it.
Wang Botong was only at the fourth level of the Golden Core. With his betrayal before the battle, Zhou Yang couldn't figure out how he would face the endless assassinations of the behemoth [Xuanqing Taoist Alliance] for the rest of his life.
Don't say that since the [Six Paths Alliance] planned his betrayal, they will definitely try their best to protect him. That's all nonsense.
The immortal cultivator has such a long lifespan. If the [Six Paths Alliance] can protect him for ten years or a hundred years, can it still send masters to take turns to protect him for hundreds of years?
Of course, these are not things Zhou Yang needs to worry about.
What he needs to be concerned about is that the defeat on the battlefield on the Qiantian Sect's side has doubled the pressure on the Suyun Sect's side, so that the place he originally thought was safe is no longer safe.
But now, he needs to fight hard with the monks left behind in Suyun Sect to defeat the opponent's advantage again.
After listening to what he said, Lin Yuxian wondered if she really heard it. She shook her head slightly and did not say anything more about it. Instead, she spoke with a serious face about asking him to take action this time.
"Our target this time is the enemy's newly arrived fifth-level war beast. As long as we kill this beast, our mountain guarding formation can continue to support us, so that when the Dao Alliance sends the fifth-level formation mage to assist us
After arriving, even if the enemy increases their strength, we can still hold the mountain gate!"
"If we want to kill that beast, we all rely on you, Fellow Daoist Zhou, and Senior Sister Liu. We will do our best to buy time for you two so that you can take action."
The Senior Sister Liu mentioned by Lin Yuxian is Liu Yunxiang, the great elder of the Suyun Sect. She is also the one with the highest cultivation level among the several Jindan monks in the Suyun Sect, with a cultivation level as high as the eighth level of the Golden elixir.
But after Zhou Yang listened to her words, he shook his head and said resolutely: "This is not appropriate. There is a ninth-level Jindan cultivator among the enemies. If Fellow Daoist Liu didn't hold him back, with you people, even if you use those who risk your lives,
The secret method won’t delay much, so just let me kill that beast alone!”
"If only Fellow Daoist Zhou is allowed to go there, how sure can we be of success?"
"That fifth-level war beast is a wild alien species [Earth-Splitting Elephant], and it is covered with a battle armor made from the magic-breaking material [Silver Gang Stone] and the fourth-level spiritual gold [Star Pattern Iron].
You have a treasure like the [Xuanyang Purple Sky Divine Thunder] jade talisman in your hand, so it’s hard to kill it with one strike!”
A cold voice suddenly came from behind Lin Yuxian. Zhou Yang looked along the voice and saw a cold and beautiful woman in silver robes walking towards here holding a silver sword.
Suyun Sect is a sect dominated by women. Among the four golden elixir-level monks in the sect, only one is a male cultivator. Among the sect's disciples, the number of female cultivators also accounts for more than 70%.
This cold and charming woman called Zhou Yang "Fellow Daoist Zhou", obviously she already knew that he was not a "Qingyun Sanren".
This secret, which is not a secret, has eventually spread throughout the battlefield as time goes by.
At this time, when he heard the cold and charming woman's questioning words, Zhou Yang suddenly raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "It is true that Zhou no longer has a treasure like the [Xuanyang Purple Sky Divine Thunder] jade talisman in his hand, but a fifth-level
Zhou is confident that he can kill this low-grade savage beast, provided that fellow Daoist Liu you can buy enough time for Zhou!"
When the cold and beautiful woman heard this, she looked at him without any change in her expression and continued to question: "How long is enough time?"
"At least half an hour!"
After Zhou Yang pondered for a while, he answered the other party's question in a deep voice.
Hearing his very affirmative words, the cold and charming woman straightened her eyebrows and immediately shouted: "Okay, then I will risk my life for you to delay the enemy for half an hour!"
After saying that, she took a deep look at Zhou Yang, held the sword in both hands and saluted him: "If you can really accomplish this, then you will be the great benefactor of our Suyun Sect in the future, Liu Yunxiang and Suyun
Everyone in the sect will always remember your kindness!"
Her attitude changed so much that Zhou Yang could not adapt to it. After a while, he returned the favor and said: "You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Liu. We all fight for the Tao Alliance and ourselves. Needless to say,
These are the words of thanks."
This statement seemed a bit hypocritical, and Liu Yunxiang just smiled and did not take it seriously.
If Zhou Yang can really kill the fifth-level war beast [Earth-Splitting Elephant], coupled with his previous contribution to helping Suyun Sect to rescue the siege, and his Taoist companion Xiao Ying's hard work in treating injured disciples of Suyun Sect these days,
Due to his great achievements, everyone in the Suyun Sect regards him as a great benefactor, which is also a matter of course.
She shook her head slightly and didn't say anything more about it. She just said softly: "It's almost time. The other fellow Taoists have already been prepared. I'll attack now!"
Outside Suyun Sect, the army of monks from the [Six Paths Alliance] continued to attack fiercely around the mountain-protecting formation.
It is said that it was thanks to Zhou Yang's help that day that he killed the enemy's golden elixir monks, which gave Suyun Sect a few days of rest and was able to maintain the mountain-protecting formation. Otherwise, this formation would have been destroyed by the enemy.
It was defeated in the fierce attack.
But now, as the fifth-level war beast [Earth-Shattering Elephant] joins the attack array, the mountain-protecting formation is once again in crisis.
Zhou Yang stood on the mountain and looked down. Outside the formation at the mountain gate, he saw a giant elephant more than fifty feet tall and more than one hundred and seventy feet long. It was roaring and leading three other fourth-order war beasts toward the guardian.
The mountain array launched collisions again and again.
There are four ivory tusks shining with platinum luster in the giant elephant's mouth. Each ivory is more than twenty feet long, like four giant machetes inserted upside down in its mouth.
Every time it launches a charge, the four giant machete-like ivory tusks will be like real swords, slashing out substantial platinum sword energy to attack the front.
The platinum sword is so powerful that when it falls on the ground, it will immediately plow a long ravine on the ground. This is where it gets its name [Earth-Splitting Elephant].
And every time this behemoth hits the mountain-protecting formation, the protective shield formed by the mountain-protecting formation will shake violently, and the monks inside the mountain gate who provide mana for the mountain-protecting formation will also suffer a huge reaction.
shock pressure.
Ever since this behemoth took part in the attack on the mountain-protecting formation, in less than two days, more than thirty monks in the foundation-building stage died due to the force of the formation's counter-shock, and the number of injured was even higher.
Ten times!
It was precisely because of the great damage caused by this behemoth that Liu Yunxiang, Lin Yuxian and others were forced to make the risky decision to go out and kill the beast.
At this time, after Liu Yunxiang and others were ready, one person was left to preside over the formation. The others, including the golden-winged thunder eagle and the colorful peacock, and two fifth-level monsters, all took advantage of the giant beast to hit the formation again.
At that moment, they all suddenly came out to kill him.
Seven golden elixir stage monks and two fifth-level monsters attacked together, and the momentum was truly terrifying.
However, the enemy had been prepared for this move for a long time. Every time the [Earth-Splitting Elephant] charged, there would be as many as seven Golden Core Stage monks surrounding it to protect it.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Yunxiang and others took action, the enemy Golden Core Stage monks had already taken action in time to protect and intercept. In the end, only a few attacks were successfully landed on the behemoth.
Naturally, these attacks could not really hurt the [Earth-Splitting Elephant], which was armed to the teeth. Instead, it was enraged. It roared, raised its head, and swung four thick platinum swords at Liu Yunxiang and others.
According to the plan, Liu Yunxiang and others ignored the behemoth. Instead, after their joint attack failed, they each blocked a golden elixir-level monk from the enemy, creating an opportunity for Zhou Yang to take action.
Zhou Yang takes action!
He drew out his sword, waved his hands, and slashed, stabbed, and stabbed the angry [Earth-Splitting Elephant] with a silver long knife and a purple spear.
The sharp energy of these two fifth-level high-grade magic weapons seemed to make the [Earth-Shattering Elephant] feel the danger. It neighed quickly, and a white-gold aura suddenly emerged from its body, turning into a huge white-gold war weapon.
A wraps itself in it.
In this way, coupled with the magical weapon armor originally worn on its body, it has a double layer of defense.
The purple spear was faster and struck the giant elephant with one shot, tearing apart its white-gold aura armor defense on the spot and striking its ear hole hard.
[Earth-Splitting Elephant] Such a behemoth, the ear hole is as big as a bucket, and a human teenager can get through it!
This is one of the few weak points on its body, and it is the place where cultivators of the same level are most likely to severely injure and kill it.
But it is a pity that this weak point is also specially protected now.
The monks of the [Six Paths Alliance] specially refined two ear gates for it, so that when it encounters danger, the two ear gates can be popped out of the ears to block the ear holes.
Therefore, although the purple spear successfully poked its ear hole, it was unable to follow the ear hole all the way to the head with one shot.
However, the impact caused by the gun tip poking into its ear hole and the subsequent burst of purple flames still caused some slight injuries, and it couldn't help but let out a roar of pain.
At this moment, the silver long knife also hit its flexible trunk, cutting its trunk into two pieces on the spot.
If it were an ordinary elephant and its trunk was cut off, eating would be a problem and it would be difficult for it to survive.
However, [Earth-Splitting Elephant] is a fifth-level savage beast, and it is not difficult to regenerate a broken limb. For it, having its trunk broken in two would be more humiliating than the actual damage to its body.
It flicked the remaining half of its trunk, and glared at Zhou Yang with a pair of elephant eyes as big as water tanks, which instantly turned red.
It is the nature of all beasts to be aggressive, and being injured will only make the beasts more brave.
[Earth-Splitting Elephant] immediately stopped attacking the Suyun Sect's mountain-protecting formation, and directly charged towards Zhou Yang with its head high.
Its huge mountain-like body looked very awkward as it charged towards a human being who was less than a foot tall.
Zhou Yang looked at the giant elephant rushing toward him like a mountain, and finally understood why creatures like wild beasts were eliminated in this world.
They were eliminated not because they were like the giant beasts in his previous life, due to lack of food and environmental changes, but because they encountered their natural enemy - the immortal cultivator.
The flexible and compact body of the immortal cultivator makes it impossible for the physical strength of most giant beasts to be used. If you can't hit anyone, even if you can knock over a thousand-foot mountain, what's the use?
However, the magic weapons refined by immortal cultivators can flexibly hit the weak points on the bodies of these savage beasts, causing them huge damage.
In front of the immortal cultivators, the huge size of the savage beasts has become their weakness. The more powerful the savage beast is, the more conspicuous its weakness will be.
Compared with savage beasts, monster beasts are much better. When monster beasts reach the fifth level, they can basically master the magical power of "big and small Ruyi", and can shrink a body of tens of feet to a few feet. At the sixth level, they can even transform into
In human form, he refines magic weapons and elixirs like immortal cultivators.
This is why monster beasts can still occupy territories such as the Duanyun Mountains and the Boundless Snowfield in the "Linghuan Realm", while the wild beasts can only rely on the protection of the wild aliens in the wild jungle to barely retain some of their bloodline.
With a movement of his body, Zhou Yang nimbly avoided the charge of [Earth-Splitting Elephant], and then landed directly on top of the opponent's head.
[Earth-Splitting Elephant] was of course not willing to be ridden by him, and a huge force immediately surged out of her body in an attempt to lift him off.
In terms of the use of physical power, wild beasts with extraordinary talents are actually more powerful than intelligent immortal cultivators.
The power they use of their physical bodies is not limited to their limbs and other parts, but any part of their body can be used as a power conductor to blast themselves out with tremendous force.
Zhou Yang had never fought against high-level beasts personally, so he didn't have a deep experience in this aspect. He suffered a big loss at once and was directly blasted away by the power of the giant elephant. "Wow" he spit out a big mouthful of blood.
.
This means that his physical body is equally powerful and comparable to monsters of the same level. If it were an ordinary middle-stage golden elixir monk, he would be seriously injured even if he were not dead!
Generally speaking, no one of those Golden Core monks who know the inside story would dare to have personal contact with a savage beast of the same level, because that would be asking for death.
"Kuye, I'm really going to get hurt by this kid this time!"
Liu Yunxiang, who was fighting with the enemy's ninth-level golden elixir monk, saw this scene and suddenly turned blue with anger. She felt that she had trusted the wrong person and was extremely disappointed.
Seeing this scene, the other golden elixir monks from the [Xuanqing Taoist Alliance] were also disappointed and their faces were extremely ugly.
"What a beast, I really underestimated you!"
There was blood left in Zhou Yang's mouth when he spat out, and he looked at the giant elephant with an ugly face, feeling ashamed and angry in his heart.
Just now, he was still lamenting that the huge size of the beast was useless and lagged behind the times. He didn't expect to be taught such a lesson by the opponent in the blink of an eye. It really felt like being slapped in the face.
"Come again!"
He shouted low and flew towards the giant elephant again.
But this time he learned his lesson, instead of landing on the giant elephant to learn how Wu Song beats the tiger, he flew directly over the giant elephant's head, swaying large balls of golden flames and falling on the giant elephant, trying to burn the elephant.
Needless to say, the power of the "Qianyang True Fire" that has been amplified by the "Qianyang Pearl" is natural. After the golden flames touched the giant elephant, the armor on its body quickly melted in the flames.
This kind of specially-made armor relies entirely on its own material to function. At most, it is infused with some "weak" and "strong" spells. It cannot be driven by mana like a cultivator's magic weapon. Showing all kinds of wonders.
Therefore, once it is continuously burned by the Zhiyang True Fire such as "Qianyang True Fire", it will be easily melted like raw materials.
Of course, only the Zhiyang True Fire such as "Qianyang True Fire" can quickly melt a battle armor made of the fourth-level spiritual gold "Star Pattern Iron" and burn the [Earth-Splitting Elephant].
If replaced by the real fire of an ordinary Golden Core monk, it would not take more than half an hour to burn through the thick layer of armor, let alone harm a fifth-level savage beast like the [Earth-Splitting Elephant].
