In the meeting hall of the Zhu family, the head of the family, Zhu Zuntian, sat in the middle. Next to him, the four elders and the main deacons of the family were arranged on both sides.
"Have all the disciples returned?" Zhu Zuntian said.
"Master, the family's three generations of disciples, a total of one hundred and twenty-one, have all returned!" Zhu Sizi, the family's chief deacon, bowed respectfully.
Zhu Sizi is Zhu Zuntian's eldest son, and he is also the son who Zhu Zuntian values and relies on most.
Why now?
Because everyone in the Zhu family knew that Zhu Zuntian's favorite son was his fourth son, Zhu Yanzi.
Zhu Yanzi has been extremely talented since he was a child. He reached the eighth level of acquired talent at the age of fifteen, and was already half-step congenital at the age of eighteen.
At that time, Zhu Yanzi was undoubtedly the number one genius in Nanhai.
Zhu Yanzi entered Xiantian at the age of twenty-five. At that time, he entered the Holy Land of Immortal Fantasy in the South China Sea. In the Holy Land of Immortal Fantasy, he fought many innate beings from the other three families, killing everyone on his own, and brought back many genius treasures from the Holy Land of Immortal Fantasy.
The most precious among them is a piece of "associated purple gold".
"Companion Purple Gold" generally only exists in the bodies of great demons who have entered the virtual realm.
The great demons who enter the virtual realm are all the strongest at the top of the demon clan.
To get the "accompanied purple gold" from the body of such a great demon is like pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth!
Because it is extremely rare, it is extremely precious.
Over the years, the Zhu family has relied on this piece of "associated purple gold" to refine countless "Ten Thousand Killing Flying Crossbows" magic weapons that are famous throughout the South China Sea Immortal World. Relying on the heaven-defying magic weapon, the Zhu family has firmly held its position among the four major families and has never wavered.
Unfortunately, Zhu Yanzi suddenly brought back a child from outside in a certain month of a certain year.
He claimed that the son was his flesh and blood.
Then, his temperament began to change, becoming more and more eccentric and indifferent. Later, he stayed away from home all year round. Shenlong never came back, and gradually faded out of the core circle of the family...
"Starting from tomorrow, all three generations of disciples will be summoned for a family competition! The winning family will be given the magic weapon 'Ten Thousand Killing Flying Crossbow', a top-notch cultivation method, and one hundred thousand crystal stones!" Zhu Zuntian said loudly!
.
When he shouted, everyone in the meeting hall was greatly moved.
The three generations of disciples competed and were given the family's most precious treasure, the 'Ten Thousand Killing Flying Crossbow', as well as top-notch cultivation techniques and 100,000 crystal stones. This reward is too heavy...
"Gah, gah!" A strange crow-like laughter sounded, and the great elder Zhu Xiaotian showed an ecstatic smile on his face:
"Brother, with such a generous reward, you really think highly of my Gui'er. Who among the three generations of disciples can be my Gui'er's enemy?"
Zhu Xiaotian was very proud: "I want to announce a piece of news today. After my Gui'er transferred to the Nanhai Academy of Immortality this year, he shined brilliantly in the trial of the Demon Realm of the Divine Sword Hall. The master of the Divine Sword Hall is named Hui Jian Jiang.
The fairy has officially decided to take him into his sect!"
"ah……"
There was a burst of exclamation in the meeting hall. Zhu Xiaotian’s eldest son, another deacon in the family, Zhu Hengzi, who was also Zhu Gui’s father, also stood up and said proudly:
"What my father said is absolutely true. My Gui'er's talent is astonishing. He was indeed chosen by Fairy Jiang and accepted into Fairy Jiang's sect. He will soon be able to break through the eighth acquired realm and become the leader among the elite disciples of Nanhai Hall. It is just around the corner. Currently, the third generation of the family
Disciple, who can be as good as Gui'er?"
Many people stood up to congratulate him, and the meeting hall immediately became noisy.
Zhu Xiaotian bowed to Zhu Zuntian and said: "Brother, thank you for your generous gesture! Gui'er is the hope of my family's future. Things are changing, and it's my turn to be the head of the family, the Dongfu branch!"
Zhu Zuntian frowned slightly, pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
According to Zhu family rules, the whole family is divided into the main mansion, the east mansion, the west mansion, the south mansion and the north mansion.
The main mansion is the branch of the family leader, and the other elders are divided into four branch mansions.
As for the inheritance of the family, competition among the five houses is fierce.
Once a child from the side branch has outstanding talent and wins the Zhu family scepter, which symbolizes power in the competition among the family heads, the five houses will be changed.
The branch that wins the power of the head of the family becomes the main mansion and sits on the islands surrounding Wangui Immortal Island. The main mansion that loses Zhu's scepter will be reduced to a branch mansion and move out of the islands surrounding Wangui Immortal Island.
This kind of competition is cruel and fierce, and it is precisely because of this cruel and fierce competition that it is the root of the family's continuous inheritance.
Both the main house and the branch office spare no effort in cultivating the younger generation of disciples. The purpose is to win the Zhu family's scepter, which symbolizes the highest power of the family, in the future competition between the family heads...
The current branch of the Zhu Mansion, Zhu Zuntian, came to the main mansion just after Zhu Zuntian rose up against the will of heaven and won the Zhu family's scepter forty years ago.
The strong opponent Zhu Zuntian defeated at that time was Zhu Xiaotian.
Therefore, Zhu Xiaotian has been Zhu Zuntian's biggest threat for decades.
It turned out that Zhu Zun was born with a good son, Zhu Yanzi.
Zhu Yanzi is an extremely talented person and is well-known in the South China Sea. He is the most promising being to become the future head of the family.
However, due to an unexpected combination of circumstances, Zhu Yanzi suddenly fell into decline when he was in his prime. However, Zhu Xiaotian's sons worked steadily and gradually entered the core of the family.
Now among the three generations of disciples, Zhu Xiaotian's branch has another Zhu Gui.
Although the general decline of the three generations of disciples of the Zhu family has become the biggest crisis for the Zhu family, the rise of Zhu Gui still gave the family hope.
This time Zhu Gui was accepted into the sect of Jiang Xianzi, a wise sword, which undoubtedly further consolidated his status in the family.
It seems that the main palace and the east palace will change positions again in the future...
…
A competition between three generations of family disciples is about to break out.
On Wangui Immortal Island, the head of the family Zhu Zuntian was furious. He almost pointed at the nose of his eldest son Zhu Sizi and shouted: "Where is Zhu Yanzi? Where did Zhu Yanzi die? Where did he die? He was so brave.
He even dares to disobey the family head's orders. Does he really want to leave the family and become a lonely ghost outside?"
Zhu Sizi's face turned red after being scolded by his father. He knew that his father had been stimulated by Dongfu today and was in an extremely bad mood.
And he was really helpless towards his fourth brother.
For more than ten years, I feel like I have lost my soul. I have been living in the demonic realm for a long time and I don't care about my family's affairs at all.
This time it was even more outrageous. He even dared to disobey the family leader's order. All the second and third generations of the family have returned, but he is still missing.
"Father, did the fourth brother encounter something outside or encounter a crisis?"
Zhu Zuntian was stunned for a moment, then his anger did not subside, and said: "It would be better if something happened. Anyway, we are already alone and wandering ghosts. We might as well die outside and become a lonely wandering ghost completely!"
Zhu Zuntian was furious and in a very bad mood.
But at this time, the Zhujiadong Mansion was filled with joy.
All the innate beings in the East Mansion gathered together to drink fairy wine, taste fairy tea, and play, sing, and dance to add to the fun.
Zhu Gui, the third-generation eldest grandson of Zhujiadong Mansion, wore a red robe. Under the guidance of his father, he toasted to the ancestors one by one.
"First Elder, this kid Gui'er has been practicing in Nanhai Academy this year, and his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. At this rate, he will be able to step into Xiantian in his early twenties and become the absolute core of the third generation of the family!"
"Does that need to be said? In the family competition tomorrow, Gui'er will definitely defeat the disciples from other houses and win. In time, our Dongfu team will definitely take over Wangui Immortal Island!"
The great elder Zhu Xiaotian was in a good mood, and the congratulations and flattering words from the innate beings around him made him have endless daydreams.
The head of the family has a cycle of fifty years.
The eldest brother Zhu Zuntian has been the head of the family for forty years.
In ten years' time, the family head's year will be here.
In the Dongfu branch, his sons Zhu Hengzi and Zhu Zhenzi are all innate creatures, and they are absolutely the best among the current second-generation disciples.
Now there is another Zhu Gui in the third generation of the Zhu family, who is the best among all the three generations. According to this momentum, there is almost no suspense in the battle between the East Palace and the Main Palace!
"Brother, you took Zhu's scepter from me forty years ago, and my descendants will take it back forty years from now!" Zhu Xiaotian thought to himself, feeling extremely high-spirited and arrogant for the moment.
"Guier!"
"Grandpa!" The young man in red robe was handsome and elegant, and he bowed respectfully to Zhu Xiaotian.
Today he is the protagonist. It is the first time that he has such close contact with the innate creatures of the entire Dongfu. He is praised by everyone, and the young man is inevitably excited.
"Are you confident that we will fight tomorrow?"
"Grandpa! Don't worry, descendants of the Zhu family, if I, Zhu Gui, consider myself second, no one would dare to claim to be first! I will definitely win the championship tomorrow!"
"Good! Good! As expected of me, Zhu Xiaotian's grandson, he is ambitious!"
A person flashed out from behind Zhu Xiaotian, Zhu Xiaotian's second son Zhu Zhenzi, and he said: "Father, the master of the family has received such generous rewards in this competition between three generations of disciples, isn't it..."
Zhu Xiaotian frowned and said: "You mean...what news do you have?"
The noisy scene fell silent instantly, and everyone heard Zhu Zhenzi's words.
In fact, everyone here has this question, but no one has raised it.
Now that Zhu Zhenzi brought it up, it happened to attract everyone's attention.
Zhu Zhenzi glanced at everyone and said loudly: "As far as I know, in the main branch, Zhu Yanzi has a son named Zhu Ting. He was sent to the Donghai Academy Body Training Hall by Zhu Yanzi two years ago. His growth momentum is amazing. This year
He has become a green-robed disciple of Tōkaiyuan.
And all his body-refining techniques are actually the "Heavenly Demon Body-Refining Technique"..."
"ah……"
Many people exclaimed.
Heavenly Demon Body Refining Technique, the supreme method of divine and demonic body refining, is extremely difficult to practice. You need to plant the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Talisman in the body first, then enter the demon realm, use ancient demonic fire to cleanse the marrow, and after entering the innate world, use the black demon lotus.
To reshape the physical body, once the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Technique is completed, you can develop an immortal body with infinite divine power and be reborn with blood. This is an extremely heaven-defying body refining method.
Zhu Gyu, who had always been smiling, changed his face.
The expressions of Zhu Xiaotian and Zhu Hengzi also changed.
The festive atmosphere in the entire Dongfu suddenly dropped to freezing point.
