Chapter 788 Zhou Mingde Passed Away and Went to Yuanmo【Subscribe】
After Zhou Chun made the decision, the news about an extra dragon egg in the Zhou family was not publicized, so as to prevent the clan members from having unreasonable thoughts after hearing the news.
Because of this dragon egg, Zhou Chun also paid special attention to the situation of Zhou Zhiying's Sky Wind Thunder Eagle and [Golden Crown Black Roc].
Unfortunately, so far, the Tianfeng Thunder Eagle has not successfully laid eggs.
But as long as Tianfeng Thunder Eagle is still working hard, hope is still there, and Zhou Chun will let it develop naturally.
Speaking of Zhou Chun, although he has no longer been obsessed with cultivation in recent years and has spent a lot of time with his elders and relatives, his cultivation has not remained at the same level.
Not to mention that the several magical powers and secret techniques that were originally practiced have been improved. Even in the art of sword control, the progress is also rapid, comparable to some golden elixir sword cultivators who have just successfully formed elixirs.
In addition, he has never given up practicing the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: True Dragon Chapter" and is about to reach completion.
If this secret technique can be cultivated to the level of Dacheng, he can transform into a dragon and greatly improve his physical strength and survivability.
As for the secret method "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad Chapter", Zhou Chun himself basically gave up on practicing it and turned to the incarnation of the second Nascent Soul to practice it.
After all, with his current ability, even the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad Chapter" at the level of Dacheng is actually just like that, and it is not as great as the benefits brought by "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: True Dragon Chapter".
Over the years, his second Nascent Soul incarnation has been cultivating behind closed doors and has gained a lot. Another third-level high-grade [Ice Moon Toad] has also been cultivated to the fourth level.
Relying on the blood essence and blood assistance provided by the two fourth-level [Ice Moon Toad], the second Nascent Soul's incarnation's secret method of "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad" has made rapid progress, and it is estimated that it will be completed in less than a hundred years.
Moreover, the second Nascent Soul incarnation has almost no small realm barrier restrictions. As long as the main body is in any realm, the second Nascent Soul incarnation can cultivate to that realm without any hindrance.
Only when encountering a large realm barrier will it be difficult for the second Nascent Soul incarnation to cross it.
Therefore, as long as enough time is given, Zhou Chun, the second incarnation of the Nascent Soul, can catch up with his true body in terms of cultivation.
As time passed year after year, Zhou Mingde's condition began to decline significantly. The more intuitive manifestation was that he began to lack energy and needed to sleep frequently to restore his energy.
According to Lin Hongyu's previous experience, after this situation occurs, it will only be two or three years before the life span is exhausted.
Although Zhou Daoyi has not yet experienced this situation, he only has five or six years left based on his own life expectancy.
He had already decided to leave with Zhou Mingde, so it could be said that it was the last moment.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun gave an order, and the Zhou family had already begun to gather the core tribesmen and elders who were traveling abroad, and asked them to come back and prepare to bid farewell to the two family elders.
Just like in the secular world, the death of a mortal at the age of eighty or ninety is said to be a sign of joy and mourning. In the world of immortal cultivators, it is not a taboo matter that cannot be told to others when a cultivator passes away at the end of his normal lifespan.
In particular, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi are not the highest-cultivated people in the Zhou family. Even if the news of their deaths is announced, it will not have any impact on the status of the Zhou family.
Therefore, neither Zhou Mingde nor Zhou Daoyi, nor Zhou Chun, had any intention of concealing their impending death.
When the Zhou family learned about this, they could only express their heartfelt gratitude and blessings to the two eldest seniors of the family.
As soon as the notice to chant sutras and pray for the two elders came out, everyone signed up enthusiastically.
"What a huge battle! I didn't expect that a mere golden elixir-level monk would be enthroned in such a grand ceremony. It really makes people die without regrets!"
On Kunwu Peak, Zhou Mingde was filled with emotion after reading the family's plan for what to do after their death.
After sighing with emotion, he smiled casually and said: "That's fine. Since I couldn't become famous during my lifetime, it would be nice to be buried in a grand ceremony after my death!"
But he calmly accepted the wishes of these juniors.
In the next two years, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi spent their time eating and drinking without thinking too much about anything or caring about their posthumous affairs.
They have already clearly explained everything that needs to be explained, and there is nothing left to worry about.
Now all we have to do is wait for the deadline to arrive.
On this day, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi were tasting some kind of new pastry spiritual meal together. Suddenly, they seemed to feel something. Come here, Zhengchun and the others!”
Hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi was slightly startled, then nodded and said: "Junior understands, I will summon Zhengchun and the others to come here."
So not long after, dozens of core members of the Zhou family gathered here in Zhou Mingde's cave, from Zhou Chun and Zhou Zhiying, two Yuan Ying stage monks of the Zhou family, to Zhou Xinyuan, a late-stage foundation-building monk.
At this time, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi had already put on gorgeous robes that had been customized long ago, and sat cross-legged on the jade platform together.
Seeing everyone gathered at this time, Zhou Mingde also smiled slightly and said: "Everyone is here, so I will keep the story short."
He said in a low voice with emotion: "In my life, I have helped Daxia to collapse. When the Zhou family was in the most difficult time, I led a group of supporters in the family to set up a new family, maintaining the purity of the Zhou family bloodline and protecting the Zhou family heritage."
"At the same time, I was also the backbone, supporting the family through those difficult times when the family faced difficulties!"
"I have always been dedicated to the family, and I am worthy of the ancestors of the Zhou family and the descendants of future generations!"
Speaking of this, he also turned his eyes and looked at Zhou Chun who was standing in front of the bed.
Then he continued in an excited tone: "But if I were to say that the greatest achievement of my life is not the initial advocacy of the separation of the family and the preservation of the Zhou family heritage, but the full support and trust in Zhengchun after discovering his outstanding talent, and finally watching him become the first Jindan-stage cultivator who successfully formed a pill after the separation of my Zhou family, and even the first Yuanying-stage cultivator in the history of my Zhou family who successfully formed a baby!"
After the words fell, Zhou Daoyi, who was standing beside him, also had a red face and said: "Uncle is right, the greatest achievement of my life is also to discover Zhengchun, a talented clan member for the family. At the beginning, fully supporting Zhengchun as the head of the Zhou family was the most correct decision I made in my life!"
Seeing that the two of them did not forget to praise him at this time, Zhou Chun was moved and felt a little funny.
At the moment, he could only say: "The two elders helped and supported me when I was insignificant. I will remember it in my heart for the rest of my life and will never forget it!"
After saying that, he looked at the two and reminded them: "Do you have anything else to say to other clansmen?"
"I have already said what I should say. Now there is really nothing to repeat."
Zhou Mingde shook his head slightly and said with emotion: "My life is over here. I hope you younger generations will work hard and continue the Zhou family's current foundation!"
"What about you, uncle?"
Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoyi again.
After hearing this, Zhou Daoyi tilted his head and thought for a while, then slowly said: "If I have to say something, I only hope that you younger generations can unite and work together to maintain the hard-won foundation of the Zhou family, so that the Zhou family can be more prosperous and glorious in your hands!"
"Yes, the younger generation and others will definitely follow the teachings of the two seniors!"
Everyone looked at each other, and then responded in unison.
After that, the atmosphere in the cave became strangely silent, and no one meant to speak again.
After an unknown period of time, Zhou Mingde suddenly said: "The time has come, I will go first!"
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, drooped his head, and instantly lost all vitality.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Daoyi also glanced at Zhou Chun and others, then looked at Zhou Mingde's body and smiled slightly, saying: "Uncle, take care, the younger generation will come to accompany you now!"
After he finished speaking, he also took the initiative to break his heart veins and ended his life.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately bowed deeply to the bodies of the two elders on the jade couch and said: "The juniors respectfully send off the two elders, and wish the two elders a safe journey!"
Then Zhou Zhiying and others followed suit and bowed and saluted, expressing their blessings.
After this, Zhou Chun also waved his hand in a heavy tone and said: "Okay, everything will proceed according to the wishes of the two elders and the previously made plans!"
Then he personally stepped forward to tidy up the clothes of the two elders, buried them in the thousand-year-old sandalwood coffins that had been prepared long ago, and placed the coffins in the ancestral temple for all clan members and guests to pay their respects.
For a time, everyone on Kunwu Mountain was dressed in white, and all the cultivators of the Zhou family wore mourning for these two respected elders who had no descendants.
And in the following 49 days, the chanting of scriptures for the two deceased elders on Kunwu Mountain was endless, without stopping for a moment.
All the forces that have settled down in the territory of Yu State, all of them came to the Zhou family to express condolences and mourning, and even most of the forces in the neighboring country of Heng State sent important members to participate in the mourning.
Just as Zhou Mingde lamented before, he, a Jindan-stage cultivator, died, and it was so grand and eye-catching, which was really unique!
It would be impossible for someone else, even if that person was the parents of a Yuanying-stage cultivator, to do this.
After all, ordinary Yuanying-stage cultivators are not as prestigious as Zhou Chun.
After such a grand ceremony for 49 days, the coffins of Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, two respected elders of the Zhou family, were sent to the family tomb for burial.
After sending these two elders away, Zhou Chun has since become the highest-ranking cultivator in the Zhou family.
The world is clear and bright, worship the Tao and guard the family, be upright and think about the source, have lofty ambitions, be blessed with a hundred blessings, enjoy the mysterious light of jade, flourish in literature and martial arts, and pass on the grace for eternity...
The Zhou family has now passed on to the "Yu" generation.
If the honorific title is determined according to the generation, even Zhou Xinyuan is a great-great-great-grandfather-level elder of the Zhou family!
Similarly, with the death of Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, all the current members of the Zhou family at the level of the Grand Elder have become Yuanying stage cultivators.
After the funeral for the two elders was completed, Zhou Chun went to Changgeng Peak to visit the incarnation of Taigeng God and expressed his desire to go to the Yuanmo Realm.
"The Yuan Demon Realm is a place for demon cultivators. There are still two old demons in the god transformation stage. These demon cultivators are all lawless people. They have no racial justice in their eyes. Unless they are taken for some reasons, they dare not set foot in it. I, the human race, who is an orthodox cultivator in the world of immortality, am afraid that we, the human race, will have more troubles!”
"So if you have to go there, you'd better be more careful and don't expose your true strength easily and attract the attention of the two old demons in the transformation stage!"
After the incarnation of God Taigeng heard Zhou Chun's plan, he suddenly said such words that made his expression change drastically.
Zhou Chun was not surprised by the fact that there were demon cultivators in the God Transformation stage in the Yuan Demon Realm.
After all, among the so-called "Top Ten Demon Lords" over there, there are many great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage.
According to the number of such great monks, and comparing the situation in various countries in the world of human cultivation, it is very reasonable to give birth to a god-stage demon king.
But he didn't expect that there would be two Demon Lords in the God Transformation Stage in the Yuan Demon Realm!
After his expression changed for a while, he bowed deeply to the incarnation of Tai Geng God and said, "Thank you, senior, for your advice. I understand what to do."
Then he returned to Kunwu Peak.
Half a year later, Zhou Chun had arranged everything, leaving only Negative Mountain Lord to guard the family, and then left Kunwu Mountain with the other four demon kings' spiritual pets.
Soon after, Zhou Chun appeared in Fengguo.
Also coming to Feng Country at the same time was the second Nascent Soul incarnation coming from Frozen Yi Country.
After learning about the dangers of the Yuan Demon Realm, Zhou Chun certainly did not dare to venture into the Yuan Demon Realm in person.
However, since he promised Wu Yuzhu that he would go over and help her obtain the subsequent inheritance of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Manual", he could not break his promise.
Therefore, he decided that his true body would stay in the Jueling Desert to take care of him, and then let the second Nascent Soul incarnate to meet Wu Yuzhu.
In this way, even if he does encounter the God-Transforming Demon Lord, he will at most lose the incarnation of the second Nascent Soul.
Zhou Chun already had a copy of the map across the Jueling Desert to the Yuan Demon Realm, which was presented by Wu Yuzhu after he returned.
He was now rushing towards the realm of Yuan Demon along the map. Along the way, he looked at the devastated land below and was secretly frightened.
In the past, when my cultivation level was low, I didn’t feel much.
Now that his spiritual consciousness has taken form and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he realizes how incredible this is.
With the power of a monk at the Nascent Soul stage, it is not difficult to break the earth and scatter the spiritual veins.
However, the scattered spiritual veins and spiritual energy will simply collapse, and over time, the spiritual veins will regroup elsewhere.
The broken earth will only look broken. After thousands of years, it will be covered with vegetation again.
But Jueling Desert, just like its name, has completely become a desert with no spiritual energy!
In Zhou Chun's perception, even the power of the law of the avenue was completely silent here, as if the avenue had been shattered and obliterated!
In this situation, I am afraid that ordinary venerable gods in the transformation stage would not be able to do it with all their strength.
"Could it be that the main battlefield of those monks who descended from the world was in this area?"
Zhou Chun thought secretly in his heart, feeling that he still knew too little about those ancient times.
These secrets from the ancient times, apart from those venerables in the God Transformation Stage, are probably only recorded by those top powers that have been passed down from ancient times, or forces that have had a God Transformation Stage venerable.
Of course, with his current status and strength, if he really wanted to know this, he would probably go to those top powers and inquire about it, and it would probably not be difficult to find out the truth.
After all, these secrets are often just to set off the distinctive talking points of those top powers, and are not really magical powers that cannot be known by others.
With the flight speed of Yuanying stage monks, it might take Golden Core stage monks a year and a half to cross the Jueling Desert, but Zhou Chun completed the crossing in less than half a month.
After arriving at the Yuan Demon Realm, he took the initiative to retreat into the Jueling Desert, retreating thousands of miles before stopping.
Afterwards, Zhou Chun's true body hid in the Jueling Desert, and the second Nascent Soul incarnation carefully controlled its aura, and took Lu Yuanjun and Yishan Jun to contact Wu Yuzhu.
It has been several years since Wu Yuzhu came to the Yuan Demon Realm, and the toxins in her body have been coming back more and more often. This makes her very anxious and uneasy. She doesn't know if she can wait until Zhou Chun arrives.
Therefore, when she saw the contact token that Zhou Chun had given her had changed, she was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly followed the direction pointed by the token.
Not long after, Wu Yuzhu saw Zhou Chun's second Yuan Ying incarnation in an ordinary mountain forest in the realm of Yuan Demon.
She was also the person who had seen Zhou Chun's second Nascent Soul incarnation, so when she saw Zhou Chun's death, she immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Junior, pay homage to the clan leader."
To her, the second Nascent Soul incarnation also represents Zhou Chun, and she doesn't dare to be negligent because of this.
"Elder Wu, you don't have to be polite. First tell me about the information you have obtained in the past few years!"
Zhou Chun turned around and waved his hand, speaking in a slightly cold tone.
"Yes, junior, I obey."
Wu Yuzhu responded and immediately talked about the information he knew.
After she returned to the Yuan Demon Realm, she contacted the poison cultivator group that she had originally traded with Zhou Yuanlian.
Although many of those people are no longer in the world due to various reasons, there are still some who are still alive today.
After learning that Wu Yuzhu intended to inherit Zhou Yuanlian's legacy and continue to break into the secret realm of ten thousand poisons, the poison cultivators naturally welcomed their approval.
It's just that Wu Yuzhu, under Zhou Chun's orders, only made contact with those poisonous cultivators and was not in a hurry to agree to trade with them immediately.
At this time, after talking about the poison cultivator information that he had learned, Wu Yuzhu remembered something again and said again: "Junior also found out that when the aliens attacked our human race a few years ago, the giant gods also attacked the Yuan Demon Realm. , but in the end he was pushed back by a god-transforming demon!"
"Oh, do you know the name of the demon king who took action?"
Zhou Chun turned around and his expression changed. He was indeed attracted by her words.
"The name of the God-Transforming Demon Lord who takes action is the Blood Sea Demon Lord. It is said that when he takes action, he transforms into a sea of blood with a radius of thousands of miles. Any living creature that enters it will lose all its flesh and bones and become part of the sea of blood!"
Wu Yuzhu's face flashed with panic, and she answered in a low voice.
"Blood Sea Demon Lord? It sounds like the methods of the Blood and Bone Sect!"
Zhou Chun muttered in his mouth, then looked at Wu Yuzhu and said: "I know the situation. Now you take me to find those poison cultivators and learn from them the location of the Mysterious Realm of Ten Thousand Poisons first!"
Hearing his words, Wu Yuzhu suddenly became energetic and responded quickly: "Junior, I obey."
Then he sacrificed his magic weapon [Hundred Poison Divine Banner], spawning a colorful poison cloud to support himself and Zhou Chun's body, and took Zhou Chun's body to the location of the poisonous cultivators with the help of the poison cloud cover.
In the Yuan Demon Realm, although poisonous cultivators are not all demonic cultivators, they are still regarded as local members by default and will not be beaten by everyone like immortal cultivators.
Moreover, the methods of poisonous cultivators are weird. Even those demonic cultivators who come from powerful forces will not be willing to provoke them for no reason.
Not to mention that Wu Yuzhu made the magic weapon fly, and it looked like he was a poisonous cultivator in the golden elixir stage, so no demonic cultivator would dare to provoke him easily.
Under her cover, Zhou Chun's true identity is not afraid of being discovered as long as he doesn't leak his breath.
After flying like this for almost three days, Wu Yuzhu took Zhou Chun to the sky above a swamp surrounded by black and green miasma.
"This place is called the Corrupt Swamp. It is considered the base camp of poison cultivators in the Yuan Demon Realm. There is even a small market base in there that specializes in serving poison cultivators!"
After she introduced the situation of the swamp to Zhou Chun, she directly flew into the depths of the swamp with the colorful poison cloud.
After flying hundreds of miles in the swamp, an island in the swamp suddenly came into view.
The small Fangshi stronghold mentioned by Wu Yuzhu is located on this island.
And her colorful poison cloud seemed to have some reputation here. Soon, a golden elixir stage mana aura rose from the island and turned into a black and green escaping light to greet it.
This black-green escaping light stopped hundreds of feet away from the colorful poisonous cloud, revealing an old man in black with a middle-stage Golden Core cultivation level.
After the old man stopped escaping, he stared at the five-colored poisonous cloud with a pair of sinister triangular eyes, and said with a strange laugh: "Quack, quack, Fellow Daoist Wu, have you finally figured it out? I've told you this a long time ago. Now, cooperation with us is your only way out!”
"What? Are you the only one on the island today, Wu Daoyou? Where is Granny Snake? Where did her old man go?"
Wu Yuzhu asked in a confused tone, ignoring the teasing of the old man in black.
She knew that the old man in black had no token of the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Realm. That thing was only in the hands of the "Grandma Snake" as she called it. The other party was a poisonous cultivator with a late-stage golden elixir cultivation level, and he also raised a fourth-level dog. Top grade poisonous snake, very powerful!
After hearing her question, the old man in black suddenly said in a deep voice: "Grandma Snake just left for something. Fellow Daoist Wu, you can wait a month or two to see her."
Then he looked at the colorful poisonous cloud with an unhappy expression and said, "Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Wu, why are you hiding your head and showing off your tail? Don't you still believe me?"
