Zhou Guangcheng had previously encountered a bottleneck in the middle stage of Nascent Soul because his cultivation level had improved too quickly. Not long after returning to Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortality, he chose to travel and gain more knowledge.
At that time, the inter-immortal world teleportation array between Liuyun Immortal City and the Tiannan Continent's Immortal Realm was opened, so he took the opportunity to teleport to the Tiannan Continent's Immortal Realm for a tour.
Unexpectedly, after traveling in the world of immortal cultivation in Tiannan Continent for hundreds of years, he not only successfully advanced to the fourth level of Nascent Soul, but also found a Taoist companion who was willing to accompany him throughout his life, a pair of twin female cultivators from the Purple Mansion.
Of course, now the twin female nuns have successfully formed elixirs with his support.
To be honest, Zhou Yang was stunned for a while after receiving the news from his Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
He is now almost 1,600 or 700 years old. As his son, Zhou Guangcheng and Shouyuan are already 1,230 years old.
Although a Yuanying stage monk who is twelve or three hundred years old is still very young compared to the longevity of a Yuanying stage monk.
However, this kind of thing where a monk in the Yuan Ying stage who is more than a thousand years old and a female cultivator in the Zifu stage who are over 200 years old become a formal Taoist couple is really rare to see in the world of immortality in thousands of years.
It is estimated that Zhou Guangcheng also knew that this matter was a bit too shocking, so he waited until the two Taoist monks formed elixirs before he dared to bring the Immortal Cultivation Circle of Liuyunzhou and Boundless Sand Sea to meet the elders to explain the situation.
As a monk in the Golden Core stage, he can barely be regarded as a Taoist companion of a monk in the Nascent Soul stage.
Zhou Yang is not the kind of parent who has to take care of everything. In his opinion, as long as he doesn't make any principled mistakes, whatever his son wants to do is up to him, and there is no need for him to take care of it.
This is probably related to his own experience when he was young. After all, he has never been controlled by his parents since he was a child, and he has been completely free to express himself.
Therefore, although he was a little surprised that his son Zhou Guangcheng had found two such young Taoist monks, he had no intention of objecting. Instead, he readily agreed to his son's request and came out to participate in his dual cultivation ceremony.
Because Zhou Guangcheng's Nascent Soul Ceremony was held in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, this time his Dual Cultivation Ceremony was specially held at the Zhou family in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World, so that all the monks in the Zhou family would know that the family also had Zhou Guangcheng.
A "little ancestor" exists.
When Zhou Yang arrived at Lingxi Peak, the entire Lingxi Peak was decorated with lanterns and red silk hanging everywhere. Many monks who came from Liuyunzhou Cultivation World to participate in Zhou Guangcheng's Double Cultivation Ceremony had already arrived here in advance.
These people also borrowed the help of the Zhou family this time. Otherwise, if more than a dozen Nascent Soul monks from the Immortal World of Liuyun Continent passed through the Duanyun Mountains one after another, they would definitely have caused a violent reaction from those demon kings.
But now that the True Spirit of Lei Yu has returned to the Duanyun Mountains, all the demon kings know that the True Spirit of Lei Yu favors Zhou Yang, a human monk, and no demon dares to bring trouble to Zhou Yang and the Zhou family.
At this time, Zhou Yang, who had been in seclusion for more than seventy years, returned. The Nascent Soul monks who had come to congratulate Zhou Guangcheng on the mountain immediately came to greet him.
After Zhou Yang finished meeting these people, he had time to look at the pair of daughters-in-law standing behind his son Zhou Guangcheng.
In terms of appearance, the two Taoist monks Zhou Guangcheng are both extremely beautiful women. Their beauty is even better than that of their mother-in-law Xiao Ying, and can be compared to Qin Yue'er's stunning appearance.
In terms of beauty, among the female cultivators present today, only Qin Yue'er and Lu Xuewei can compare with them.
However, the cultivation level of the two golden elixirs at the first level is at the bottom among the monks who can enter today.
At this time, when Zhou Yang, the great monk with the famous "Ling Huan Jie", was looking at him, and the other party also had the identity of their father-in-law, the two girls suddenly became nervous even if they were already at the golden elixir stage. Like an ordinary mortal bride, her head was slightly lowered and she clasped her hands tightly, not daring to look at her.
Seeing this, Zhou Guangcheng had to greet the two Taoist monks and remind him: "Yuzhen, Yuhuan, this is our dad. Haven't you always admired my dad very much? Why don't you come up and pay homage to my dad?"
"Daughters-in-law Shen Yuzhen and Shen Yuhuan have met Qianyang... and dad!"
The two nervous girls stepped forward to greet them. Because they were so nervous, they almost called out Zhou Yang's honorific, which also made many monks present laugh.
Zhou Yang was also a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his first meeting with his daughter-in-law would be like this.
He originally wanted to express some concern, but after seeing this situation, he immediately knew that the more he spoke at this time, the more likely the two of them would become nervous, so he simply hummed softly and said: "Well, you two and I agree to Cheng'er's marriage. From now on we are all a family, so there is no need to be too nervous or upset."
After speaking, he waved his hand, and the last two [Jasper Flat Peaches] left in his hand were given to the two girls.
"When we first met, I didn't have anything to give you as a gift. I just happened to have these two [jasper flat peaches] that I could get my hands on, so I gave them to you!"
Two sixth-level middle-grade spiritual fruits that can even extend the life of Yuanying-stage monks for a hundred years after taking them were directly given to two first-level golden elixir monks who had just formed elixirs as a meeting gift. This kind of gesture was also noticed by many monks present. They all smacked their lips.
The two girls, Shen Yuzhen and Shen Yuhuan, were surprised and happy to receive such a meeting gift. They couldn't help but froze there holding the jade box containing the spiritual fruit in their hands.
It was only after Zhou Guangcheng sent a message to remind them that the two women came to their senses and quickly saluted and thanked them.
After this excitement for a while, other outsiders left first, and Zhou Yang had time to ask about his son's details.
"Earlier, your mother only said that Yuzhen and Yuhuan were brought back from Tiannanzhou Immortal Realm. She did not say anything about the situation in their family. Today, they did not see their elders here. Don't tell me that you are They deceived people from the Immortal Cultivation World of Tiannan Continent with a trick!"
In the quiet room, Zhou Yang, Xiao Ying, and Zhou Guangcheng were alone in a room. Zhou Yang looked at his son and asked about the family situation of his two daughters-in-law without any emotion in his voice.
Hearing his words at this time, Zhou Guangcheng suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Dad, you are joking. How could a child do such a big deal about such a big thing?"
After saying that, he spread his hands helplessly and explained: "Yu Zhen and the others are members of a family that cultivates immortality. The Shen family is also a golden elixir family in the Tianhe Sect, a large sect in the world of immortal cultivation in Tiannanzhou. There are two golden elixirs in the family. The existence of monks is barely worthy of our family."
"I didn't ask you this. You know I don't care what their background is. Even if they are just casual cultivators, as long as you like them, I won't care."
Zhou Yang frowned and interrupted his son's words without politeness.
Seeing this, Zhou Guangcheng hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, I understand what you mean. The reason why Yuzhen and his family did not come is because the journey is long and inconvenient. Moreover, Yuzhen and the others are married to a real person in the Yuan Ying stage of the children's life." As a couple of monks, their families don’t have to worry about future generations suffering.”
"Aren't you still willing to tell the truth? These two top-grade spiritual root female cultivators are geniuses with such qualifications. Which cultivating family or sect is willing to let them go easily? You have dared to do things, but you still dare not admit it?"
Zhou Yang's voice suddenly became sharp, and he looked at his son and scolded him sternly.
As soon as he said these words, not only Zhou Guangcheng's expression changed drastically, but also Xiao Ying's expression changed drastically and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "What? Cheng'er, you kid didn't tell the truth to your mother? What's going on, you
Hurry up and recruit me truthfully!"
At the end of the sentence, there was anger in her tone.
Seeing that his mother, who had always been doting on him, was also angry, Zhou Guangcheng felt a little frightened, and finally stopped trying to hide it.
"Well, since dad has figured it out, the kid won't hide it from you. In fact, Yuzhen and the others almost sold it to the kid!"
"They were originally going to be given to the Yuan Ying stage monk of Tianhe Sect as concubines, but they didn't want to be arranged like this by their family, so they quietly escaped from the family, and then they happened to meet a man who was traveling in the world of immortality while hiding his cultivation.
baby."
"Later, the children helped them fight off the family elders who came to capture them and took them to travel to the Immortal Cultivation World of Tiannan Continent. Gradually, they developed feelings for them and decided to take them back to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent to become Taoist couples."
"But when the child took them home to say goodbye, he was blocked by the Shen family who sent a message to the Nascent Soul monk from the He Sect that day. Although the child can defeat that guy, the Shen family will definitely be implicated."
"So I had to reveal my identity, use your reputation to intimidate that guy, and then use a sixth-level low-grade magical weapon to buy off their relationship with the Shen family, so that they have no relationship with the Shen family or the Tianhe Sect!
"
"As for their biological parents, because they were only foundation-building monks, they passed away long before they opened the Purple Mansion, so naturally they cannot come here to attend the double cultivation ceremony of their children and them!"
Bah!
After hearing what her son said, Xiao Ying's jaw almost dropped to the floor.
Then a look of extreme irritation suddenly appeared on her face. She couldn't help but stepped forward, grabbed her son's ear and shouted angrily: "You damn brat, why didn't you tell the truth to your mother? Why did you lie to your mother? You said,
Over the years, how many things have you done to lie to my mother?"
Thinking of Zhou Guangcheng, a dignified real person in the Yuanying stage, but now he is like a child who has done something wrong and his ears are grabbed by his mother and scolded. This scene made Zhou Yang shake his head.
He never thought that his son and his two daughters-in-law would have such a strange experience.
But in his eyes, this was nothing.
Zhou Guangcheng chose to conceal this matter, probably because he didn't want people to know and look down on the Shen sisters, not just for his own face.
Therefore, he persuaded the Taoist companion: "Ying'er, please let go. My son is older than his mother. He is over a thousand years old. Do you really think you can control him?"
"Humph, this damn brat, I've hurt him for thousands of years in vain, and he even lied to me!"
Xiao Ying snorted angrily, loosened her hands angrily, and left the quiet room with an ugly face.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang also glared at his son and said: "Your mother is a sharp-tongued person but a tofu-hearted person. She must have been extremely happy when she saw you coming back with your two daughters-in-law this time. But in the end, your kid was so clever that he deceived her.
You deserve to be scolded!"
After saying that, he also left the quiet room and went to comfort the angry Taoist monk.
Half a month later, Zhou Guangcheng’s Double Cultivation Ceremony was held as scheduled. This could be called the most grand Double Cultivation Ceremony in the history of the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World. A total of seventeen Nascent Soul Stage monks attended, and the number of monks at all levels who came to congratulate and give gifts
There were over ten thousand people, which was more lively than the Nascent Soul Ceremony held by many Nascent Soul Stage monks.
After the Double Cultivation Ceremony was over and all the guests dispersed, Zhou Liangyu, the patriarch of the Zhou family, finally had the opportunity to meet with Zhou Yang in private to report some important information.
"Forgive me, ancestor, for disturbing you this time. There are really two important things that need your instructions before I can make up my mind to do them!"
As soon as they met and bowed, Zhou Liangyu solemnly expressed the importance of the matter.
This made Zhou Yang pay more attention to it. He couldn't help but look at him and said: "Tell me, what is it that even you, the head of the Zhou family, can't make up your mind about."
"Ancestor Mingjian, the first thing is that the Guo family of Tongcheng, who cooperated with our Zhou family to develop the giant spiritual stone mine, said that they were willing to offer 30 million spiritual stones and asked our Zhou family to allow the Guo family to separate a branch.
Come to Boundless Sand Sea to develop, and from now on you will be regarded as a vassal of our Zhou family!"
"The second thing is the marriage of female cultivators in the family. In the past, the Zhou family was weak, and the clan rules did not allow female cultivators to marry out of other families easily. Now the number of monks in the Zhou family is close to 10,000, and the number of female cultivators is more than 4,000.
However, due to clan rules, nearly half of the female cultivators are still unmarried. Many female cultivators have clearly found someone they like, but their marriages broke down because the other person did not want to marry into the Zhou family, so that they never want to marry again for the rest of their lives.
Recruiting a new son-in-law!"
"Now this matter has become a major hidden danger for the family. Many female nuns in the family are extremely resentful of this clan rule. There have even been some bad incidents of eloping and leaving the family!"
"Therefore, I have been requested by many female nuns from the family to ask my ancestors on their behalf whether the clan rule that female nuns are not allowed to marry outside can be abolished!"
After Zhou Liangyu finished explaining his purpose, he suddenly gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I dare not deceive my ancestors. In fact, I agree with the abolition of the clan rule that female nuns are not allowed to marry outside the family, because I
A daughter and two granddaughters are victims of this clan rule. They are crying every day. The younger generation really cannot bear to see it and cannot ignore it!"
Clan rules are the foundation of a strong and stable family. Without rules, there would be nothing.
Without strict and harsh clan rules and restrictions, the cohesion of the cultivating family would be greatly reduced.
However, most of the Zhou family's family rules were formulated when they were a small family. Some of the family rules have become outdated for the now large Zhou family, which is not only unhelpful to the family, but also harmful.
But because these clan rules were handed down from the time when Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, was the patriarch, no monk of the Zhou family dared to abolish them without asking his permission while the ancestor of the family was still alive.
These clan rules.
That's why Zhou Liangyu begged on her knees today.
Zhou Yang had not been involved in the affairs of the Zhou family for so long that he had no feelings about these matters and did not think about the harm of these old rules at all.
When he heard Zhou Liangyu talk about it, he felt a little guilty.
He knew in his heart that it was precisely because the prestige of his family ancestor was so high that the monks of the Zhou family had to be cautious when discarding and changing the family rules, and did not dare to mention it to him easily, so as not to offend him.
Not happy.
It is conceivable that over the past thousand years, there must have been many female cultivators of the Zhou family struggling with the choice of abiding by this clan rule or eloping with their loved ones, and finally made a choice that they regret for the rest of their lives.
Yes, no matter which one they choose, they will definitely regret it for life!
Thinking of this, he immediately said to Zhou Liangyu who was kneeling on the ground: "It is indeed my ancestor who has been negligent in this matter. I completely agree to abolish this untrue and old rule. If there are similar tribes in the future,
If the regulations are harming the monks of our own clan, the head of the Zhou family can directly abolish them after seeking the opinions of all clan members, without having to ask my ancestor for instructions!"
When Zhou Liangyu heard this, he immediately kowtowed with great joy and said: "Thank you very much, ancestor, for your kindness. On behalf of the more than 4,000 female cultivators of the Zhou family, and on behalf of all the monks of the Zhou family, I would like to thank our ancestor for your great kindness!"
"Get up quickly, ancestor, I agree to the two things you said today."
Zhou Yang flicked his sleeves, and an irresistible but gentle force immediately lifted Zhou Liangyu up.
"Thank you, ancestors. I have something here to dedicate to my ancestors. They are more than a dozen top-quality spiritual stones newly excavated by the Zhou family in the giant spiritual stone mine over the years!"
