Chapter 801 Yu Zhen Passes Away [Subscribe]

After the Thousand-Year Banquet, Zhou Chun's life returned to normal.

As he passed the 1,000-year-old age, Su Yuzhen's remaining life span was less than 30 years.

Zhou Chun planned to spend more time with this Taoist companion in this last time.

In addition to Su Yuzhen, Xu Fu, one of the Jindan elders of the Zhou family, also had a short life span.

For Zhou Chun, Xu Fu was a junior, but in fact he was only a few dozen years younger than himself.

But Xu Fu did not have the opportunity that Su Yuzhen had to take the [Jia Zi Changsheng Pill], a spiritual object that would prolong his life.

On the contrary, when he was young, he lived in the wilderness for a long time and often went out to explore and fight. He suffered many serious injuries along the way, and it was difficult for him to live to the upper limit of his 1,000-year-old life!

So his life span was only a few decades.

On the other hand, Zhou Xinyan, who is now in charge of the Zhou family, is actually less than 900 years old, although he is of the "Xin" generation, so there is no need to worry too much about these for the time being.

After Zhou Yuanxin and Zhou Xinyuan successively formed the Dan, another female cultivator from the Zhou family succeeded in forming the Dan, her name was Wang Yan.

At the same time, according to Zhou Chun, among the current purple mansion cultivators of the Zhou family, there are still three or four relatively young and promising ones who are expected to impact the Jindan stage.

If one or two of these people can succeed, the number of Jindan cultivators in the Zhou family will be expected to exceed two palms.

In addition, the number of cultivators in the Zhou family is still growing rapidly. Many people succeed in building the foundation every year, and a purple mansion cultivator can be born every three or five days.

If it continues to grow like this, as long as there is no major change and the number of core cultivators is greatly reduced, the number of Jindan cultivators in the Zhou family will definitely increase every hundred years in the future.

So although the older generation of Jindan cultivators in the family are passing away one after another, the Zhou family is actually developing on the road to getting better and better.

On this day, Zhou Chun, who was watching his son Zhou Xinyuan and Zhou Zhiqian fighting with swords with his Taoist partner Su Yuzhen, suddenly looked happy and showed surprise in his eyes.

He glanced at his Taoist companion who was watching intently beside him, and couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, carefully making a deeper connection with the second Yuanying incarnation far away in Bingyi Country.

It turned out that just now, Bingming Zhenren finally cultivated "The Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit·The Moon Toad Chapter" to the great success realm, and thus gained a lot of benefits.

In the cave deep in the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold, a dull roar suddenly rushed out of the cave and resounded throughout the stronghold.

In the stronghold, all the cultivators who heard this roar were in a state of depression, as if they were struck by lightning.

Some cultivators who were meditating and practicing in the cave vomited blood with a "wow" and suffered serious internal injuries.

Even Zeng Yu and other two Jindan stage cultivators were inevitably affected.

The two quickly walked out of the cave and couldn't help but look in the direction where the roar came from.

"The roar came from Senior Bingming's cave. Could it be that Senior Bingming is practicing some secret technique?"

One of the Jindan-stage cultivators couldn't help but ask Zeng Yu in a voice transmission.

"No matter what the situation is, it's not our business. Let's comfort those injured juniors first!"

Zeng Yu shook his head slightly and didn't dare to say anything more.

Seeing that he was so secretive, the Jindan-stage cultivator who asked the question didn't say much, and immediately comforted the cultivators in the stronghold with him.

In the cave of Master Bingming, Master Bingming had turned into a white ice toad.

The ice toad lay on the ground, and with every breath it took, rich spiritual energy was absorbed into its body.

When it was night, there was even more rich white moonlight power falling from the sky and being swallowed by the white ice toad.

Such a strange sight made all the cultivators in the Xuelongling stronghold stare with wide eyes and were shocked.

If they didn't know that Bing Ming Zhenren was a genuine human Yuanying stage cultivator, they would have suspected that there was a demon king living in the Xuelongling stronghold.

After all, very few human cultivators have mastered the magical power of swallowing and spitting out the power of moonlight, but some demons with extraordinary talents can often do this.

After a night, the white ice toad in the cave deep in the stronghold had also recovered into Bing Ming Zhenren's body.

Bing Ming Zhenren opened his mouth and spit out a white gem, which flew into his hand. It was the spiritual treasure [Moon Toad Gem].

Although this spiritual treasure had been refined by him a long time ago, his connection with this spiritual treasure was much closer than before, as if this treasure was his natal spiritual treasure.

It may be because of the materials used to refine this treasure. After practicing the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit·Moon Toad Chapter" to perfection and transforming into the Taiyin Moon Toad, Bing Ming Zhenren actually seemed to be like a fifth-level demon king, completely transformed into a Taiyin Moon Toad, and inherited the magical powers of the fifth-level Taiyin Moon Toad.

This allows him to not only use his magical powers to fight against the enemy, but also to assist in cultivation.

You know, demon beasts are actually much more talented than human cultivators in absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It's just that their skills are not as mysterious as those of human cultivators, and their bodies are not as cleverly constructed as those of humans. Instead, they are not as efficient as human cultivators in refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The Taiyin Moon Toad can not only absorb and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation, but also can draw the power of the moon to temper the physical body and magic power.

With this help, Master Bingming's cultivation speed is much faster than before.

At this time, after looking at the gem in his hand, he opened his mouth and sucked it into his mouth.

Then a sword light flew out of his mouth and fell into his hand and turned into a white flying sword.

This white flying sword is crystal clear like jade, emitting white ice light, and the sword body is branded with countless snowflake-like spiritual patterns, as if it was stained with a layer of frost and snow.

This is Master Bingming's natal magic weapon [Tian Shuang Xuanming Sword], which is made of [Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Jade]. After being sacrificed by him for more than a hundred years, it has become a very strong top-grade magic weapon.

At this time, he waved his hand to sacrifice this sword, and used the sword-controlling method recorded in "Tai Xuan Feixian Sword Art" to control this sword.

The white flying sword was seen flying through the air, leaving behind a trail of white sword energy. After a while, a lotus sword formation formed by white sword energy took shape in the air.

Zhou Chun's [Nine-Nine Mysterious Heaven Sword Gourd] can release up to ninety-nine and eighty-one sword energies at a time, and the most suitable use of this spiritual treasure is to arrange it into a sword formation with sword energy.

Therefore, the art of sword formation is his main focus when he comprehends the art of controlling swords.

Although he has no talent for sword cultivation, relying on the realm comprehension of a Yuanying cultivator, plus the control brought by his own powerful spiritual consciousness, after years of comprehension and practice, he has mastered several methods of arranging sword formations.

As his second Yuanying incarnation, Bingming Zhenren can naturally share the sword tactics he comprehended.

On Kunwu Peak, Zhou Chun also quickly opened his eyes and turned his attention back to the sword fight that was still going on.

From his perspective, although they were both at the Jindan stage, Zhou Xinyuan's attainments in swordsmanship were obviously more than one level behind Zhou Zhiqian.

Even if Zhou Zhiqian controlled his cultivation to the early stage of the Golden Core, he could still easily suppress Zhou Xinyuan's sword.

If Zhou Xinyuan's flying sword was not made of many rare spiritual materials, it would not be afraid of colliding with the flying swords of the same-level cultivators. At this time, the flying sword might be seriously damaged.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He could see that his son Zhou Xinyuan really didn't have much talent in swordsmanship. Even though he had no shortage of famous teachers to guide him since he was a child and had all kinds of cultivation resources, it was still difficult for him to achieve success in this area.

In terms of cultivation, many things really rely on talent, and the deeper you go, the more talent you rely on.

It's true that diligence can make up for one's shortcomings, but what's the point of spending dozens or hundreds of years to learn and comprehend something that others can learn and comprehend in a year?

Even if you are a Golden Core cultivator with a long life span, or even a Yuanying cultivator, you can't waste your time like this!

So Zhou Chun gradually had an idea in his mind.

However, he looked at his Taoist partner Su Yuzhen and decided not to implement this idea.

Time flies like a white horse.

In a flash, another twenty or thirty years have passed.

On Kunwu Peak, Su Yuzhen was already in a state of exhaustion. She had a youthful face, but at the last moment of her life, she quickly grew white hair and her skin was full of wrinkles.

However, Zhou Chun and Zhou Xinyuan were asked by her to stay outside and not come in.

She didn't want her Taoist partner and son to see her like this, and wanted them to remember her youth forever.

As for what she should explain, she had already explained it to them.

But she would not die alone, because there was still someone by her side.

This person was Luo Qingni!

Before this, Luo Qingni herself could not have thought that Su Yuzhen would not let her Taoist partner and son accompany her before her death, but specifically asked herself to come and accompany her.

So when Su Yuzhen made this request, she hesitated and thought for a long time before agreeing.

At this moment, she looked at the old woman who was aging rapidly on the bed, and she felt a lot in her heart.

"Will I be like this in the future?"

She murmured to herself in her heart, and found that it was a little hard for her to accept.

Suddenly she understood Su Yuzhen's thoughts.

At this time, Su Yuzhen opened her cloudy eyes and looked at her and whispered: "Sister Luo, do I look ugly now?"

Luo Qingni looked at her and said nothing.

They are all high-level cultivators who have achieved success in cultivation. Even if they are about to die, they don't need a mirror to know what they look like.

Su Yuzhen didn't speak, and she didn't get angry. She just murmured: "In fact, what's the problem with beauty? What's the problem with ugliness? In front of a female cultivator like Sister Luo who is as beautiful as a fairy, I'm afraid any female cultivator will feel ashamed when they see it!"

"Sister Su, what do you want to say?"

Luo Qingni looked at Su Yuzhen and asked in a low voice.

After hearing her words, Su Yuzhen did not answer but asked: "Sister Luo, I am wondering why we didn't see each other much in the past, but now that I am dying, I specifically asked you to come and collect my body?"

Luo Qingni was silent again.

By not speaking, she undoubtedly acquiesced to this.

Therefore, Su Yuzhen quickly said, "In fact, I have always been jealous of you, Sister Luo. I am jealous that you can successfully transform the elixir into a baby, and I am jealous that you can help my husband in all aspects. But I can't even touch the threshold of transforming the elixir into a baby, and I can't help my husband at all. I will even bring him some burdens!"

She revealed her true feelings at this time, which also made Luo Qingni's heart tremble slightly, and she couldn't help but stare at her.

Su Yuzhen met her gaze and continued, "Sister Luo, do you think I am narrow-minded? But any female cultivator who sees her husband getting close to another female cultivator who is far superior to her in all aspects, or even bringing her back to the family for support, will probably do the same as me!"

This made Luo Qingni frown, and she couldn't help but look at her and said lightly, "Qingni and Daoyou Zhou are innocent, Daoyou Su, you are too self-indulgent!"

"Yes, I believe that there is nothing wrong between my husband and you, Sister Luo, but Sister Luo, ask yourself, do you really just treat each other as ordinary friends? Have you really never been moved by each other?"

Su Yuzhen's tone suddenly became sharp, and the words in her mouth also made Luo Qingni's face change slightly, and it was difficult to answer.

Seeing Luo Qingni suddenly fall silent, Su Yuzhen couldn't help but smile and said, "What do you think? Sister Luo, you can't deny it, right?"

After saying that, she changed the subject and continued, "Actually, this is also normal. After all, my husband is so outstanding and has helped you many times. It is impossible for any woman not to be attracted to him!"

After hearing this, Luo Qingni simply admitted openly, "Yes, Qingni did have feelings for Zhou Daoyou, but that was just Qingni's own thoughts. I have never expressed it to Zhou Daoyou. Sister Su, if you want to accuse Qingni of this, I'm afraid it's unreasonable!"

Su Yuzhen hurriedly explained, "Sister Luo misunderstood. I don't mean to blame Sister Luo. On the contrary, I am very grateful that Sister Luo can stick to the bottom line!"

Luo Qingni looked at her with a puzzled look.

It seemed to be asking, if you think so, why did you bury yourself before?

However, Su Yuzhen apologized with an apologetic face: "Sister Luo, please forgive me. I have been holding back my previous words for many years. I really can't help but speak them out, so I want to speak freely before I die. I hope you will forgive me if I offend you!"

After she said that, Luo Qingni didn't know what to say, but just shook her head slightly to show that she didn't mind.

Seeing this, Su Yuzhen was relieved and said: "As the saying goes, when a man is about to die, his words are good. If you still trust me, please listen to my heartfelt words!"

"Sister Su, you can say whatever you want."

Luo Qingni nodded slightly to show her attitude.

Su Yuzhen saw her say this, and she no longer had any scruples, and immediately said: "I said before that I was very jealous of Sister Luo, but this jealousy also came from my own incompetence, so my jealousy, like your feelings for your husband, Sister Luo, I dare not show it at all!"

"But now that I am about to die, there is no need to occupy my husband anymore, and let him live up to Sister Luo's sincerity for me!"

"Therefore, I sincerely beg Sister Luo to take good care of my husband after I die, and accompany him in this world of cultivation, so that he will not be alone in the cave!"

Luo Qingni didn't expect that what she was going to say was this, and her face was full of shock for a while.

Then she waved her hands and said, "Sister Su, I will pretend that I have never heard what you said. I am a close friend of Zhou Daoyou, so there is no need to do this!"

"Does Sister Luo think I am speaking in a sarcastic way?"

Su Yuzhen said, and looked at Luo Qingni sincerely and said, "I can swear that what I said just now is absolutely sincere and there is no falsehood at all!"

"Sister Su, there is no need to do this, but Qingni really does not have that idea now."

Luo Qingni shook her head slightly and still refused.

This made Su Yuzhen stunned, and she couldn't help but stare at her with wide eyes, as if she wanted to see her heart clearly.

And Luo Qingni also looked at her without avoiding.

After looking at each other for a while, Su Yuzhen sighed with regret: "Sister Luo's noble character makes me feel even more ashamed. It seems that not only is my cultivation ability not as good as Sister Luo's, but I am also far inferior to Sister Luo in terms of mind and courage!"

But just when Luo Qingni thought she would give up, she suddenly spoke again: "But Sister Luo, even if you don't consider your own feelings, you should consider your own path!"

"Sister Su, what do you mean by this?"

Luo Qingni narrowed her eyes and her tone changed.

"Sister Luo, you are now stuck at the barrier of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. I don't know when you can break through. Haven't you ever considered dual cultivation? With your cultivation level, if you practice dual cultivation with others for the first time, it will definitely benefit both parties. If you use some dual cultivation secrets to assist, you may be able to break through the realm barrier in one fell swoop!"

Su Yuzhen said this, and then continued: "And my husband's cultivation is about to reach the barrier of the late Nascent Soul Realm. If you can practice dual cultivation at that time, Sister Luo, with your strong Yuan Yin power, should be able to help him. This is a win-win situation!"

After saying this, she raised her hand and threw a jade slip containing the mysterious dual cultivation secret method to Luo Qingni, which was obviously premeditated.

In the living room outside the bedroom, Zhou Chun and Zhou Xinyuan, father and son, sat casually on chairs, both lowered their heads slightly, and no one spoke.

Su Yuzhen had talked about some things with the father and son alone before, and they were both thinking at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, as Luo Qingni walked out of the bedroom, the father and son both looked up.

She was holding a jade urn in her hand. After she came out, she said to Zhou Chun and his son, "Please be patient, my dear friends. Sister Su has passed away. These are the remains left after cremation according to her last wish. Please keep them safe!"

She handed the jade urn containing Su Yuzhen's ashes to Zhou Chun.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately raised his hand and put away the urn, then nodded to Luo Qingni and said, "Thank you, Qingni. I will bury Yuzhen first, and then I will leave."

She took her son Zhou Xinyuan to the Zhou family tomb.

Originally, according to the rules of the Zhou family, monks with foreign relatives were not buried in the family tomb, but in another cemetery near the family tomb.

However, the family rules also stipulated that monks with foreign relatives who had made great contributions to the Zhou family could be buried in the family tomb as an exception.

Su Yuzhen may not have done anything great for the Zhou family, but as Zhou Chun's Taoist companion, she was buried in the family tomb, and no one dared to say anything.

However, in accordance with her personal wishes, the Zhou family did not hold any funeral for her death. Instead, the Su family set up a mourning hall for her, and the whole family mourned.

Zhou Chun asked Zhou Xinyuan to go to the Su family to keep vigil for his mother, while he paid tribute alone in front of his Taoist companion's tomb.

After 49 days, Zhou Chun returned to the cave.

At this time, Zhou Xinyuan also returned from keeping vigil.

Zhou Chun called him to the living room, made him a cup of tea, and then looked at him and said, "Your mother asked me to take care of you more when she was alive. She was worried about you living alone."

"But I have different opinions from her. You are no longer a child. Even if you are in a big sect, your cultivation is enough to become the core of the sect. Therefore, if you want to move out to practice, I support you!"

If someone who didn't know the details heard Zhou Chun's words, they would think that he was cold-hearted and wanted to drive his son away from his side just after his Taoist partner died.

But Zhou Xinyuan knew that his father was the one who understood him best.

Because moving out to open up a cave to live alone was an idea he had had for a long time, but it was not easy to tell his mother Su Yuzhen before.

So after hearing Zhou Chun's words, he immediately said, "Father is right. I have long wanted to move out to practice alone!"

"That's it. As long as you don't leave the Kunwu Mountains, you can practice wherever you want!"

Zhou Chun waved his hand and decided on this matter.

With Su Yuzhen gone, Zhou Chun no longer had a major concern in his heart, and he could finally practice in seclusion without distraction.

He closed his cave and remained in seclusion for thirty years. During this period, Xu Fu, the elder of the Zhou family's maternal relatives, passed away, but he was not disturbed to come out of seclusion. It was just that Zhou Zhiying came forward and set up a mourning hall for his father.

After thirty years of seclusion, Zhou Chun's cultivation finally touched the barrier of the late Nascent Soul Realm, and he could no longer make any progress.

He also tried to impact the realm barrier, but found that the realm barrier was difficult to shake. If he relied on his own mana to impact, he didn't know how long it would take to succeed.

He had other options, of course, he would not waste time on this.

So he decisively came out of seclusion and visited the incarnation of Taigeng God to inquire about the results of refining [Pure Yang Breaking Barrier Pill].

"Fellow Daoist Yuanyang will probably need another twenty or thirty years to start refining pills. During this period, you should first temper your mana and comprehend the magic skills. With your spiritual consciousness, you should have a good chance of mastering the void performance. If you can do this, the chance of breaking through the late stage of the Nascent Soul with the [Pure Yang Barrier Breaking Pill] will be even greater!"

On Changgeng Peak, after learning Zhou Chun's intention, the incarnation of Taigeng God was silent for a moment, contacted the main body, and gave him a response and guidance.

After hearing this, Zhou Chun quickly nodded and said, "Twenty or thirty years is indeed not a long time, so I will wait a little longer."

As he said this, he humbly asked the incarnation of Taigeng God about the mysterious aspects of "void performance".

This "void performance" is generally performed by a great cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul with his powerful spiritual consciousness, strong mana, and a deep understanding of magic skills, and can perform magic skills in a moment.

Although this kind of method is mainly used in fighting, because it involves the application of the basic principles of the laws of the universe, if one can comprehend and master it before the late Nascent Soul stage, it can also train one's own magic power and consciousness, which will help in breaking through the realm.

It was just like Ye Qingxuan, because of his powerful sword intent, it was much easier for him to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage than ordinary cultivators.
