Chapter seven hundred and seventieth: the loss of the general
Master Qingyang's shocked mood needed time to calm down, but Zhou Yang had no intention of staying on Xuanyang Peak any longer.
At this moment, his cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul stage, which is when he needs to flex his muscles to implement certain plans that have been planned for many years.
So after bidding farewell to Master Qingyang, he returned directly to Huohua Mountain Cave Mansion.
Everything on Huohua Mountain was as before, and Qin Yue'er didn't know where to travel anymore. Only Bi'er, the sixth-level demon king, was sleeping peacefully on the mountain.
When she saw Zhou Yang returning, she just raised her eyes for a moment before getting ready to go back to sleep.
Wait, something seems wrong!
Just as Bi'er was about to continue sleeping, she suddenly got excited and looked at Zhou Yang who came back with her eyes wide open.
"Master, you...you have made a breakthrough in cultivation!"
She looked at Zhou Yang with a shocked expression and exclaimed, suddenly standing up from the ground.
"Yes, you have made a breakthrough in your cultivation. You have worked hard to guard the mountain alone. I will reward you with this bottle of [Jingyuan Pill]."
Zhou Yang answered the demon servant's words in a good mood. With a wave of his hand, he handed out a bottle of high-level [Jing Yuan Dan] refined with the flesh and blood of the sixth-level demon king.
"Oh, thank you sir for the reward."
Bi'er responded dryly and grabbed the elixir bottle thrown by Zhou Yang in one mouthful. It was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the news that Zhou Yang's cultivation level had broken through to the late stage of Nascent Soul.
The time she followed Zhou Yang was neither long nor short.
When she and Zhou Yang first met, Zhou Yang was only at the eighth level of the Golden Core.
Now hundreds of years have passed, although she has successfully advanced to become a sixth-level demon king, but compared with Zhou Yang's cultivation progress, she is still far behind.
This experience of witnessing Zhou Yang Xiuwei pushing her far away step by step really made her feel extremely complicated.
Involuntarily, the words Zhou Yang said when he forced her to surrender suddenly flashed through her mind.
"Maybe following him is really the right choice!"
She murmured to herself, lost in thought.
Besides, after Zhou Yang entered the cave, he went directly to the weapon refining room.
Not long after, bursts of piercing sword whistles rang out from the weapon refining room.
In the weapon refining room, Zhou Yang was seen floating in the air, with a silver flying sword about three feet long, flying around him like a tail of silver flying fish, full of spirituality.
These silver flying swords are the sixth-level flying swords [Dayan Tiangang Sword] that he refined using rare spiritual gold such as [Tianwai Meteor Gold] and [Blood Pattern Fine Gold].
Thirty-six sixth-level flying swords are indeed rare in the world, and it is even rarer to see Nascent Soul monks who can control so many sixth-level flying swords at the same time.
Zhou Yang's cultivation in the late Nascent Soul stage now exceeds the spiritual consciousness of ordinary monks at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul "Half-step True Immortal", so that he can truly command and use this set of flying swords at the same time.
This was also the reason why he had not refined and used it even though he had successfully refined the flying sword before.
"With this set of flying swords in hand, I will be much more relaxed if I encounter those ninth-level Nascent Soul monks."
Zhou Yang flicked his sleeves and took all the flying swords into his body, his face full of confidence.
Although he has not found anyone to try the sword, as the refiner of these flying swords, no one knows better than him the power of these flying swords when formed into a sword formation.
What really restricts him from exerting the power of these flying swords now is his understanding of the sword formations in "Dayan Sword Art".
Since there has never been a suitable flying sword commander, although he has understood 90% of the above sword formation techniques with his advanced cultivation level, he finally used the [Dayan Tiangang Sword Formation] composed of thirty-six flying swords.
, but he hasn't fully understood it yet, and it takes a lot of hard work and understanding before he can really lay it out.
So in the next period of time, the Xuanyang Immortal Sect disciples stationed on Huohua Mountain could often hear the harsh whistle of swords coming from the top of the mountain. Occasionally, they could see the sword light rising into the sky tearing the sky apart, and the swords opened.
Sky dome.
Zhou Yang is honing his sword skills and preparing for a fierce battle.
At this time, the news about his breakthrough to the late Yuanying stage of cultivation, also spread intentionally by Master Qingyang, has spread throughout the circle of Yuanying stage monks in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent.
There is no doubt that every Nascent Soul stage monk who heard the news was severely shocked.
Although after Zhou Yang returned from Beitingzhou to conquer demons in the world of immortality, no monk of the same level dared to underestimate him, and many people confirmed his identity as a cultivation genius based on his rapidly improving cultivation level.
However, he broke through to the late Yuanying stage so quickly, once again breaking the definition of "cultivation genius" by those Yuanying stage monks.
Zhou Yang became a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator at the age of less than 1,500 years old. Zhou Yang's cultivation speed has broken the record of Liuyun Continent's Immortal Cultivation World for ten thousand years.
A monk in the Nascent Soul stage can live up to three thousand years. Zhou Yang's lifespan is among the monks in the Nascent Soul stage, just reaching middle age.
With fifteen or six hundred years of life left, even if he slowly continues to meditate and practice, there will be almost no accidents in becoming a ninth-level Nascent Soul "Half-step True Immortal" monk within a thousand years.
.
Judging from the speed of his previous cultivation, a thousand years will definitely not be needed.
"The speed of this person's cultivation is really rare in the world!"
"Fortunately, we made the right choice and apologized to him in time to resolve the grudge. Otherwise, if he took revenge in the future, our ten thousand-year inheritance of the Beast Control Sect would be in danger of being cut off!"
Inside the mountain gate of the Beast Control Sect, "Master Tian Snake" Xu Hanwen and two other sect Yuanying monks gathered together and talked about Zhou Yang's breakthrough to the late Yuanying stage. Their words were full of joy.
In Liuyun Immortal City, Xu Tianlin, who had still not been able to break through the ninth level of the Nascent Soul, after hearing the news that Zhou Yang had broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, sighed with a lonely face: "Hey! I'm getting old, I don't accept it.
I’m too old!”
I think back to when Zhou Yang, who was at the second level of Yuanying, accompanied him on his expedition to Beiting. At that time, he was already at the eighth level of Yuanying.
Now hundreds of years have passed, and his cultivation is still stagnant at this level, but Zhou Yang is making brave progress and is only one step away from catching up with him.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men, a reincarnation of a banished immortal, with such cultivation at such an age. It seems that after nearly ten thousand years in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent, there will finally be another true immortal who can overcome the tribulation!"
In Suyun Sect, Liu Yunxiang sighed with surprise and joy after hearing the news.
She and Zhou Yang met very early, and she witnessed Zhou Yang's rise along the way, and witnessed the miraculous legends created by Zhou Yang.
For Zhou Yang, in addition to being grateful and grateful, she also had a hint of admiration and admiration.
That's why she directly said that Zhou Yang would become a true immortal in the Tribulation Stage in the future.
Similarly, at this time, those monks who had a good relationship with Zhou Yang were also sincerely happy after hearing the news that he had broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
The stronger Zhou Yang gets, the more people who have a good relationship with him will undoubtedly be able to take advantage of him.
At least if they encounter something difficult to solve in the future, they will have one more person to turn to for help.
On this day, Zhou Yang, who had been practicing swordsmanship on Huohua Mountain for eight years, suddenly left the Huohua Mountain Cave in a hurry and rushed to the "Yuanyang Immortal City" established by the Zhou family in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent.
The name of this fairy city, "Yuan Yang Fairy City", is of course a pseudonym for the word "Yuan Yang" in the name of the Zhou Yang clan.
This practice of naming a fairy city after a monk who has made great achievements in the family's history is also a common practice among big families in the world of immortality.
The reason why Zhou Yang came to Yuanyang Fairy City this time was because Li Hong was about to die.
"Ahem, cough, cough, my tired ancestors made a special trip to visit this junior. This junior is really unfilial. I just want to see my ancestor again before my life expires. This junior will die without regrets!"
"It's a pity that this junior is unlucky and won't have the chance to see my Zhou family standing proudly in the West and dominating the world!"
On the bed, Li Hong, who had a gloomy face and was as angry as a gossamer, saw Zhou Yang's arrival. His face was like a flash of light, and a flush of blood instantly appeared on his face. He looked at him excitedly and tried to get up to salute, but in the end he failed to get up.
I could only lie in bed and whine softly.
Originally, even if a golden elixir stage monk was about to sit down and pass away, he shouldn't be lying on the bed unable to move like him.
But his situation is quite special. When he was able to successfully open up the Zi Mansion, it was only because Zhou Yang extended his life span. That time he almost damaged his foundation. Later, when his life span was not much, he entered the golden elixir stage, and again
Injured once.
Now that he was about to pass away, all these hidden injuries that seemed to be no big deal before were triggered together, making it impossible for him to face the end of his life with dignity.
"You are tired from working for the Zhou family all your life. Please take a good rest. The Zhou family will not forget your contribution, nor will it let your life's hard work go to waste. The grand occasion that you cannot see will be your legacy.
People see it for you!”
Zhou Yang spoke softly with a gentle face. He was actually very sorry that this great hero who had devoted his whole life to the Zhou family was about to pass away.
"The juniors will naturally believe what our ancestors said. As long as you, our ancestors, are still in the Zhou family, the Zhou family will definitely become better and better day by day. This junior will always believe in this."
Li Hong said excitedly, and moved his hands as if he wanted to pull Zhou Yang's clothes, but he seemed to have no strength to even move.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately took two steps forward to grab his palm, looked at him in a low tone and said: "Ancestor, I understand what you mean, don't worry, as long as I am still in this world, Ancestor,
I will not sit idly by and watch the Zhou family, nor will I watch anyone insult the Zhou family!"
After speaking, he gently patted Li Hong's palm and said pointedly: "You have worked hard for the Zhou family all your life and have made great contributions. Now that you are leaving, do you have any last wishes to say? As long as the ancestors
Just say one thing that I can do!"
Fortunately, apart from the two of them, there was no third person in the room at this moment, otherwise none of the Zhou family monks would be able to calm down after hearing Zhou Yang's words.
You must know that this is the promise of a late Yuanying monk!
Considering Zhou Yang's cultivation strength, the value of this promise is simply immeasurable!
Li Hong was also very moved when he heard this.
He looked at Zhou Yang excitedly, his mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he suddenly closed his mouth again.
He just murmured in a low voice: "Thank you ancestors for your love. It's just that although my life is not perfect, I don't have many regrets. Before I die, I don't want to cause you any more trouble!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but frowned, looked at him solemnly and said: "You have to think about it carefully, Ancestor, I never make promises to others easily, and in your case, there is no next chance for Ancestor to make a promise to me!
"
"I have followed my ancestors for thousands of years, so how can I not know this? It's just that there is no need!"
Li Hong murmured in a weak voice. Although his voice was low, it contained a sense of determination.
"Well, you don't have much time anymore, ancestor, I won't take up more of it. In the remaining time, you can say goodbye to the descendants of your lineage!"
Zhou Yang shook his head slightly, sighed and walked out of the room.
Half a day later, amid the lamentations of a large group of descendants, Li Hong's life finally came to an end.
As a reward for this family hero who worked for the Zhou family all his life, under Zhou Yang's order, all the monks of the Zhou family mourned him for a hundred days, and allowed him to become the first foreign relative, and his spiritual tablet was included in the Zhou family ancestral temple.
A line of people.
After Li Hong's funeral affairs were settled, Zhou Yang personally announced that Zhou Liangyu had become the head of the Zhou family, witnessed by most of the high-level monks in the clan, and handed over the power of the Zhou family to the new helmsman.
in hand.
"From now on, among Li Hong's descendants, there must be a high-level monk at all times for thousands of years. If there is a worthy cultivator among them, spiritual objects such as [Jade Liquid Golden Pill] can be given priority!"
In the Zhou family's ancestral temple, Zhou Yang looked at the brand new spiritual tablet above and gave an order in a low voice.
"Yes, this junior will follow the instructions of our ancestors and will personally supervise this matter!"
Behind him, Zhou Liangyu, the new helmsman of the Zhou family, accepted Yu's order with a respectful expression.
As Li Hong's personally recommended successor, he is undoubtedly full of gratitude to Li Hong. Even without Zhou Yang's metaphorical order, he would definitely treat the descendants of Li Hong's lineage preferentially.
But if Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, personally issued the order, it would be easier for him to operate this matter and do it more openly.
"One more thing. Ancestor, I will be able to return to the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation World in a while to start the plan. The next thing for you and the Zhou family is to make every effort to make final preparations for the official launch of the plan."
"Just one thing you must remember, before the plan is actually launched and takes effect, no third person other than you must know about the plan!"
Zhou Yang still didn't look back, but what he said this time made Zhou Liangyu's face turn pale and his whole body tensed up.
At this time, Zhou Liangyu had succeeded Li Hong and learned about the grand plan.
He knew very well what that plan would mean to the Zhou family once it was actually implemented.
When he thought of the huge gains that the Zhou family would gain after the plan was implemented, Zhou Liangyu's heartbeat accelerated instantly.
He looked at Zhou Yang's back with a red face, and responded loudly and excitedly: "Please rest assured, ancestors, this junior and the Zhou family will definitely live up to our ancestors' expectations!"
