After practicing in seclusion for three hundred years, Zhou Yang was already over 2,100 years old when he returned to the Zhou family.
Although the years did not seem to have left any traces on his face because he had taken the beauty elixir, he is still a standard "old man" even based on the long life of a Nascent Soul monk.
.
He used to be the fourth patriarch of the Zhou family, but now, the Zhou family has the eighth patriarch, Zhou Chuanxing. If you include Li Hong, who is actually a patriarch but not named a patriarch, he is the ninth patriarch.
.
Yes, Zhou Liangyu, the last patriarch of the Zhou family, did not wait for Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, to return, but he died because of the failure to conceive a baby!
At this time, on Lingxi Peak, after learning that Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, had returned, the current patriarch Zhou Chuanxing hurriedly came over to apologize to him: "My ancestors, please forgive me. Ancestor Liangyu failed to conceive a baby, and the family was unable to contact him because of his failure.
The ancestors, unable to obtain the consent of the ancestors, followed the instructions of the ancestor Liangyu and the recommendation of the elders, and allowed the younger generation to succeed the position of the head of the Zhou family with the approval of the ancestors Lu and the younger ancestors."
"You also acted in accordance with the clan rules in this matter, so what's your crime? It's just a pity that Liangyu child couldn't pass this level in the end!"
Zhou Yang waved his hands and let out a long sigh with a look of pity on his face.
The junior whom he once praised as a "talented and beautiful person" of the Zhou family failed in the end.
Zhou Liangyu may be the descendant of the Zhou family who is closest to the Nascent Soul stage after Zhou Guangcheng, because when he was conceiving a baby, he also took [Yingying Dan] and [Saint Infant Fruit], two spiritual substances that assist in the birth of a baby.
But even with the help of such spiritual beings, whether a baby can be successfully conferred depends on personal luck.
Zhou Liangyu obviously had bad luck and failed to really take that step.
"Ancestor Liangyu fell under the [Inner Demon Tribulation]. At that time, Patriarch Lu sensed something was wrong and broke in. When he broke in, his meridians were all broken and his soul was gone!"
Zhou Chuanxing couldn't hide the sadness on his face as he told what happened, his tone was very low and disappointed.
It has to be said that Zhou Liangyu's failure dealt a huge blow to a group of Zhou family monks who had placed high hopes on him.
Senior officials of the Zhou family, such as Zhou Chuanxing, all knew how good the external conditions were when Zhou Liangyu gave birth to a baby. Spiritual objects like the [Holy Infant Fruit] can now be found nowhere except the Zhou family.
But even so, Zhou Liangyu, who had high hopes from the monks of the Zhou family, still failed!
His failure not only cost him his life, but also cast a shadow on the hearts of the monks of the Zhou family.
Zhou Yang's longevity is not a secret. The senior officials of the Zhou family know that his ancestor is over 2,000 years old.
Although the younger generations of the Zhou family all said that he would definitely become an immortal and achieve enlightenment, if they all pinned the future of the Zhou family on him overcoming the calamity and becoming an immortal, it was obviously not something that a powerful family should do.
Therefore, what the Zhou family's senior officials are most looking forward to is not even that he can overcome the catastrophe and become an immortal as soon as possible, but that several more Nascent Soul stage monks will appear in the Zhou family.
In this way, even if he is gone in the future, with the many trump cards he left behind, the Zhou family will have the opportunity to hold on to the foundation of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Realm without declining too much.
But Zhou Liangyu's failure was a painful blow to the senior officials of the Zhou family.
There are even many rumors circulating now, saying that the ancestor of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang, has consumed thousands of years of luck, so he has become a super powerful force and has not been able to cultivate any more.
A successor to the Nascent Soul Stage monk.
Although this kind of rumor has no merit, it has to be said that it has indeed put considerable pressure on the senior officials of the Zhou family.
Zhou Yang didn't have the time to pay attention to family affairs right now, so although he felt that something was wrong with Zhou Chuanxing's mood, he just said calmly: "Life and death have their own fate, everyone has their own destiny. Since Liangyu has gone, you can wait.
What the successor has to do is to inherit the legacy of the ancestors, take care of everything in the family, and not let the family's thousand-year-old legacy decline because of their own fault."
When Zhou Chuanxing heard what he said, he felt even more stressed, but out of respect for him, he could only respond respectfully: "Yes, this junior must remember the teachings of his ancestors and will not let the family fall into the hands of this junior."
What happened?"
After sending away Zhou Chuanxing, the clan leader, Zhou Yang went to meet Lu Xuewei and Taoist Lan who were in charge of the Zhou family, and learned from their mouths some of the things that had happened in the past three hundred years.
"When Lan had nothing to do these past few years, he also traveled around this world of cultivating immortals, and found that hundreds of years have passed, and the original power of the world that tilted this world here may have dissipated. In the past forty or fifty years,
Over time, there is almost no change in the grassland outside."
"Daoyou Zhou's family is based on this place. The upper limit of future development may not be as high as Daoyou Zhou thinks!"
Taoist Lan talked about his findings in a calm tone, and seemed not to be optimistic about the potential of the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality.
Lu Xuewei said in an indifferent tone: "Zhou Liangyu's failure to conceive a baby has made the senior officials of the Zhou family become impetuous. They are now eager to cultivate a new Nascent Soul monk to prove to outsiders that they, the descendants of the Zhou family,
Not trash!"
"The Zhou family was originally just a small family. It is already a miracle that it can develop to the scale it is today. As long as it can maintain the current situation in the future, it will be great. Sometimes flying too high or flying too fast may not be the best.
Good thing!"
"As for the thoughts of the younger generations of the Zhou family, as the saying goes, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If they want to do something to prove, let them do it. As long as they don't go too far, we don't need to worry about it.
These."
When Zhou Yang said this, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about these things. Now Zhou is fully prepared. Soon he will go to the [Qiongtian Fairyland] to retreat to attack the immortal gate. This sand sea cultivation world,
I have to ask you to continue to help and stay here for a while."
At this time, Zhou Yang felt that time was running out for him.
He still has a thousand years to live, which seems very long, but in fact, such a long time is only enough for him to practice the [Three Treasures of Wish-fulfilling Art] two or three times.
This was the first time since the birth of a baby that he felt that time was not passing by so well.
Not long after Zhou Yang returned to the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality, Zhou Guangcheng also rushed over with two Taoist companions and a pair of children to visit him and Xiao Ying.
Over the past three hundred years, after two Taoist monks used [Yuantai Jue] many times to assist in conception, Zhou Guangcheng also succeeded in getting the two Taoist monks to conceive successfully, giving birth to a son and a daughter.
Just because Zhou Yang and his wife were living in seclusion on the Donglai Immortal Island at that time, they didn't know the news.
Now, Zhou Guangcheng came to see them with his two children who had already successfully established their own foundations. Only then did they meet their grandchildren.
Three hundred years later, Zhou Guangcheng's cultivation level has reached the same level as his mother Xiao Ying's, the sixth level of Nascent Soul, and his cultivation level is also on the same level as his master Qingyang Zhenren.
At this time, after meeting his grandparents with his son and daughter, he said to Zhou Yang: "The children have already communicated with the master. From now on, Tonghui and Tongyue will be included in the Zhou family tree and practice in the Zhou family.
"
Zhou Guangcheng is the son of Zhou Yang. According to the seniority of the Zhou family, his children are naturally of the "Tong" generation.
Because he himself has the top qualification of [Xuanyang Spirit Body], and when he gave birth to his two children, he was already in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, so both of his children have high-grade spiritual root qualifications.
Allowing such two outstanding descendants to belong to the Zhou family can be regarded as a kind of support for the Zhou family.
"Senior Qingyang is very sensible, let's handle this matter like this."
Zhou Yang nodded slightly, very satisfied with his son's arrangement.
In fact, when he agreed to let his son Zhou Guangcheng join the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, he said that if Zhou Guangcheng had descendants in the future, he would still have to return to the Zhou family to inherit the family business.
However, at that time, he was only a monk in the Golden Core stage, and more than a thousand years had passed. It was a very open matter that Master Qingyang was willing to abide by this agreement, whether it was because of his current cultivation strength or not.
As for him, when his grandson and granddaughter return to the Zhou family, he can be considered as having failed his parents and ancestors and being worthy of his parents.
Because of the arrival of his two grandchildren, Zhou Yang also postponed his retreat to [Qiongtian Wonderland] and decided to spend some time with his grandchildren to cultivate the relationship between his grandfather and his grandchildren.
He and his Taoist companion Xiao Ying took their son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren back to the Yuquan Lake Oasis, the place where the Zhou family first prospered, and then personally told these descendants the story of their father and grandfather, and the stories of the ancestors of the Zhou family back then.
.
Starting from the Yuquan Lake Oasis to the Haoyang Grottoes named after his father Zhou Xuanhao and himself, we focused on explaining the heroic deeds of Eight Aunt Zhou Xuanyan who built the oasis for twenty years during his Qi training period.
Then there are Baituo Mountain Oasis, Ziyun Cave, Chihu Mountain Oasis...
Ancestors of the Chen family, Cao Wenjin, Chen Pingan, Jiang Yuyan, Zhang Yunpeng...
The names of old friends were mentioned one by one by Zhou Yang, and many names were still clearly remembered by him even after two thousand years.
In this way, Zhou Yang took his relatives to revisit the places he had walked in the past, telling stories and experiences that he had never even told his son Zhou Guangcheng before. Through his own words, he allowed future generations to understand how difficult it was for the Zhou family to be where they are today.
.
In this experience of retracing the same path, not only Zhou Tonghui, but also Zhou Tongyue, two young people, learned a lot. They learned about the difficulties and hardships that their grandfather, who had great powers, experienced in those years. It was also Zhou Guangcheng and Zhou Yang themselves.
, I also gained something from my heart and had a lot of emotions.
After one or two thousand years, the scenery in many places has actually changed greatly, but what remains unchanged is Zhou Yang's heart of pursuing the great road.
Just like when he first came into contact with cultivating immortals, he had rediscovered his original yearning for the immortal way.
The difference is that back then he only thought about successfully building the foundation and one day becoming the Patriarch of the Golden Pill.
And now his goal is to break through the gate of becoming an immortal and become a true immortal who can overcome the tribulation!
"It's almost time. This time I attack the Gate of Immortality, I should be 20 to 30% sure of succeeding!"
On Lingxi Peak, Zhou Yang, who had returned from traveling with his children and grandchildren for a year, whispered his preparations to Taoist Lan who had been waiting here.
Apart from himself, Taoist Lan was the most concerned about him overcoming the tribulation and becoming an immortal.
As for Taoist Lan's help, he also needed to talk to him about his own situation.
Hearing what he said, Taoist Master Lan's eyes flashed, and he immediately looked at him and nodded: "Fellow Taoist Zhou can rest assured that the Zhou family is in retreat. The Zhou family is under the care of Mr. Lan, and Taoist Taoist Master Lan will never let him worry about such mundane things!"
"For Taoist Lan, Zhou naturally..."
Zhou Yang was waiting for a smiling response when he suddenly frowned and stopped talking.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else you're worried about, Fellow Daoist Zhou?"
Taoist Lan looked at him with a puzzled expression, not understanding what was going on.
"Zhou is also a bit unable to explain. It's just that a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart just now. It seemed that something big had happened, but he couldn't explain it at all."
Zhou Yang answered Taoist Lan's question with a heavy face, and his mood suddenly became a little bad.
At his level of cultivation and strength, a warning sign like this could be said to be a very ominous sign.
This had to remind him of the fact that he was just about to retreat and attack the door to immortality.
Taoist Lan obviously also understood this. After hearing this, his expression changed slightly. He couldn't help but look at him and said, "In this case, fellow Taoist Zhou should wait a moment. Maybe he will know what the situation is after a while."
"That's all we can do, I hope it's a false alarm!"
Zhou Yang nodded slightly, but his expression did not look good.
At the same time, just a quarter of an hour before Zhou Yang felt the alarm, something big happened suddenly in the "Sea of Death Sand", which was a million miles away from Lingxi Peak.
The space crack that had existed in the "Death Sand Sea" for a thousand or two thousand years suddenly "spit" out a pitch-black horn just half a quarter of an hour ago.
This horn is extremely black and covered with cracks, and it looks like it will break into thousands of pieces at any time.
As soon as it was "vomited" out of the space crack, it attracted the attention of the monks of the Great Light Immortal Palace who were guarding here.
But just when the Golden Core Stage monk was about to step forward to see what was going on, the beast's horn suddenly emitted a bright black light, and a cloud of black energy surged out of it, transforming into a slightly illusory unicorn giant beast.
As soon as the giant unicorn appeared, it just opened its mouth and sucked in the golden elixir monk. The golden elixir monk was swallowed up in one gulp before he even had time to scream.
After the giant unicorn figure ate the Golden Core monk in one bite, he quickly learned all of his memories.
"So this mortal world is called [Linghuan Realm]? Such a fifth-level little person is actually from the largest force in this world. It seems that my bad luck has finally been exhausted in that space storm!"
"Wait a minute, a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator who masters [Qianyang True Fire]? And he also has a seventh-level immortal weapon in his hand?"
"Well, this person has disappeared for three hundred years. He seems to be not at home now, and there are several sixth-order humans and sixth-order monsters in his family."
"Okay, okay, it just so happens that I need a lot of high-quality blood food to re-consolidate the body of a true demon, so I will start with this so-called Zhou family!"
Outside the space crack, the unicorn giant beast digested the memory of the golden elixir monk it had just eaten, and immediately turned its gaze to the eastern sky. The figure quickly turned into a black magic light and flew eastward.
