Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 205 A Joyous Event for the Zhou Family, Setting Off for the Hundred Clans Assembly [Please Subscribe]

Zhou Daoquan's request was actually that his family help him take revenge.

This was somewhat unexpected for Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun.

After his initial surprise, Zhou Mingde frowned and looked at him, saying, "Do you know the strength of that family? Have you investigated their background?"

"I have inquired about it. That family doesn't have any powerful background, and their strength is no stronger than our Zhou family. They only have one early-stage Purple Mansion cultivator and five or six Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Zhou Daoquan then said in a low voice, "Moreover, this junior is not simply looking to vent his anger, but there are indeed many burial treasures in that senior cultivator's tomb, including at least one Yin Lingzhi that is over a thousand years old!"

After he finished speaking, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde both breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If what he said is true, then the Zhou family can still avenge this grudge.

Otherwise, if the enemy is too strong, even if the Zhou family wants to help him, they will be powerless to do so.

Zhou Mingde immediately said, "Alright, if it's really as you say, Daoquan, then after the Hundred Clans Conference, I will personally help you avenge this!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoquan immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Supreme Elder!"

Zhou Daoquan's return adds another formidable member to the Zhou family's Foundation Establishment cultivator team.

At this time, the lineup of the Zhou family to participate in the "Hundred Clans Conference" was basically finalized.

The Purple Mansion stage team consisted of only Zhou Mingde.

The Foundation Establishment stage team was led by Clan Chief Zhou Daoyi, with three members: Third Elder Zhou Daoquan, Deputy Clan Chief Zhou Chun, Fourth Elder Zhou Jiarui, and Sixth Elder Zhou Jiapeng.

This team's strength has an extremely high ceiling, so high that no one can rival them.

Because once Zhou Daoyi reveals his Azure Dragon spirit pet, it will be a one-sided affair.

However, once the Azure Dragon is exposed, it will cause many problems, so Zhou Daoyi basically does not intend to expose it.

Even without considering the third-tier Azure Dragon, their team was still very powerful.

Not only do Zhou Daoquan and Zhou Chun each possess two second-tier spirit pets, but Sixth Elder Zhou Jiapeng's spirit pet, the Iron Feather Eagle, is also undergoing a transformation after consuming the Purple-Veined Golden Peach. If successful, it will add another second-tier combatant.

So the final lineup might be five people plus five Tier 2 spirit pets!

As for Qi Refining stage cultivators, the Zhou family's lineup is even more powerful.

The ten team members, including Zhou Jiacheng and Zhou Zhengyong, were all at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining stage and each possessed at least one first-grade high-quality demonic beast pet.

With this configuration, the Zhou family's advantage in team battles can be virtually unlimited.

In the most extreme cases, they could even have five spirit pets gang up on one of the opponents!

Therefore, the Zhou family is full of confidence for both the intermediate and basic levels of the Hundred Clans Conference.

Three months after Zhou Daoquan returned to the Zhou family, Zhou Jiapeng's spirit pet Iron Feather Eagle successfully evolved and broke through, becoming a second-tier demon beast, Golden Wing Iron Feather Eagle.

During this period, another cause for celebration occurred in the Zhou family.

That is, among the offspring of the fragrant musk deer and the common wild musk deer, one male musk deer actually awakened and became a demon beast.

From then on, the Zhou family had a second fragrant musk deer!

The appearance of this second Xiangling musk deer not only further enhanced the Zhou family's foundation, but also proved that it was entirely feasible to use male Xiangling musk deer and female common wild musk deer to breed a population.

Given time, the Zhou family will surely be able to produce a herd of musk deer.

By then, simply selling the incense produced by the musk deer would bring the Zhou family an astonishing and continuous income.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the eve of the "Hundred Clans Conference", Zhou Chongshan finally completed the array setup at Longxing Valley.

After that, he took charge of the family's mountain gate, guarding the family together with the two elders, Zhou Jiahe and Zhou Zhengyuan.

The remaining Zhou family elders, the clan head and deputy clan head, as well as the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde, led more than a dozen Qi Refining stage cultivators from the family to head towards the Yunyue Mountains in Yunzhou.

The venue for this "Hundred Clans Conference" is the Yunyue Mountain Range, which is known as the No. 1 Mountain in Yunzhou.

This time, none of the dozen or so members of the Zhou family chose to fly. Instead, they traveled by riding the family's special mount, the Eight-Horned Water-Splitting Deer.

This was Zhou Chun's suggestion.

Since the "Hundred Clans Assembly" is meant to showcase the strength of the Zhou family, riding a mount that is different from those of other families will make it easier for people to form a special impression of the Zhou family.

The Zhou family is a family that cultivates immortality, so reputation is very important.

It's certainly good to keep a low profile in normal times, but when it's time to make a name for yourself, you must dare to do so.

Now, it can be said that everyone in Lanzhou knows the name of the Zhou family.

When Zhou family cultivators go out, they can get a lot of convenience by simply mentioning the Zhou family's name.

A very simple example.

When Zhou family cultivators are out and about and need to replenish their supplies and rest, most cultivator strongholds, except for a very few forces that have a grudge against the Zhou family, will readily allow them to enter and rest once they hear that they are Zhou family members, and they will not dare to have any bad intentions.

As for disciples of major sects like Qinglian Temple, there's no need to elaborate further.

This "Hundred Clans Conference" will be attended by powerful clans throughout the entire Jing Kingdom, while less powerful clans will send people to watch.

This could be considered an excellent opportunity to make a name for oneself.

If the Zhou family can achieve good results in this "Hundred Clans Conference" and leave a deep impression on the spectators, they will have to think twice before befriending or antagonizing the Zhou family cultivators in the future.

After riding for several days, the Zhou family arrived safely outside the Yunyue Mountains in Yunzhou.

At this time, there were less than five days left before the "Hundred Races Conference" officially began, and cultivators from all sides of the Yunyue Mountains were rushing to this place.

The immortal cultivation families who came from all over the country to participate in this grand event also displayed their unique abilities, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

Cultivation families that are relatively close by, like the Zhou family, usually ride various spirit beasts to get here, while some have Foundation Establishment cultivators fly over with their people.

However, those cultivation families who came from the territories under the jurisdiction of the Moon Wheel Sect and the Flame Sun Sect mostly chose to fly over because of the long distance.

When the Zhou family rode the Eight-Horned Water-Splitting Deer into the Yunyue Mountains, this mount, which was completely different from the common spirit beasts used for transportation such as the Ink-Scaled Steed and the Wind-Treading Steed, indeed attracted the attention of many cultivators.

Those cultivators who knew the Zhou family's name and had some understanding of their situation immediately began to show off their knowledge, excitedly telling the uninformed about the Zhou family's general situation to others.

Although the participants in this "Hundred Clans Conference" are required to be from various cultivation families, it does not prohibit independent cultivators and cultivators from other sects from coming to watch the battle.

In addition, a trade fair and auction will be held later.

Therefore, the number of independent cultivators who have gathered in the Yunyue Mountains from various places is also enormous.

"Xiao Ran, Xiao Qi, you all need to watch carefully. This is the Zhou family's group from Jiufeng Ridge in Lanzhou. They are also known as the Spirit Beast Zhou family. Most of the family's cultivators tame a spirit pet with strength similar to their own. That kind of demonic beast is called the Eight-Horned Water-Splitting Deer, which is their family's unique mount. In the future, if you encounter people from the Zhou family, be sure not to provoke them!"

On a mountain peak, an elderly man with white hair saw a herd of deer galloping across the mountains in the distance. His gaze sharpened, and he quickly and solemnly introduced and gave instructions to the few younger members of his family who were watching with curiosity.

He was the supreme elder of a small family in Yunzhou. After learning about the "Hundred Clans Conference", he specially brought several younger members of his family to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge, so that they would not offend a powerful family in the future and bring about the destruction of their family.

Large families like the Zhou family of Jiufengling are precisely the kind of forces that smaller families like theirs need to be particularly wary of.

Along the way, many people from the Zhou family, like the white-haired old man, gave advice and admonitions to the younger generation beside them.

These admonitions and warnings might not be heard by the Zhou family Qi Refining stage cultivators in the group, but they could still feel the surprised and envious looks from the other cultivators they encountered along the way.

This filled them with a strong sense of pride, and their faces were all beaming with smiles, making their competitive spirit even stronger.

It was a rare opportunity for them to be brought to this arena by their families, where they could showcase their talents. Naturally, they all wanted to repay their families and prove themselves through victories.

This may very well be their only chance in their lifetime.

But just as the Zhou family and their entourage were rushing towards the "Hundred Clans Assembly" deep in the Yunyue Mountains, Zhou Daoyi, who was at the head of the group, suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky above.

Upon seeing his action, Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun, and the others also changed their expressions and quickly looked up at the sky.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a yellowish-white stone tablet, several dozen feet long, suddenly flew through the air.

On the stone tablet, a man in a yellow robe stands with his hands behind his back, looking down at the land and rivers below with an indifferent and ruthless gaze.

Behind the man in the yellow robe, twenty or thirty cultivators of all ages stood in two rows, pointing and gesturing at the people walking or sitting on the land below, their expressions varied, and it was unclear what they were saying.

The stone tablet was moving very fast, and it flew over the heads of the Zhou family in an instant.

Even Zhou Mingde, a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage, never let the yellow-robed man on the stone tablet glance at him more than once.

"A Golden Core stage cultivator! And it seems to be more than just an early Golden Core cultivator!"

Zhou Mingde withdrew his gaze from the now-gone stone tablet and solemnly voiced his judgment.

At this moment, the smiles on the faces of all the Zhou family cultivators vanished.

When the yellow-robed man's gaze swept over the stone tablet, everyone felt a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts and involuntarily lowered their heads.

In their minds, they felt like ants on the ground, while the other was an eagle soaring in the sky.

The pride and confidence I had previously found in others vanished instantly under that indifferent and ruthless gaze, leaving not a trace.

"That stone tablet must be a magical artifact, right? Could it be that senior's natal magical artifact?"

Zhou Chun, having already seen several Golden Core cultivators up close, quickly regained his senses and curiously asked Zhou Mingde the question that had been on his mind.

Although he had interacted with several Golden Core cultivators at close range before, this was probably the first time he had ever seen a magic weapon in person.

He had already heard and seen many legends about magical treasures.

"It's hard to say whether it's a natal magic weapon, but it's definitely a magic weapon."

"As you all should know, magical treasures are not only something that Golden Core cultivators can refine and use; they also possess the supernatural power to change size at will. They can be as small as a speck of dust, which a Golden Core cultivator can absorb and nurture within their body, or as large as a mountain, possessing the power to burn mountains and boil seas!"

Zhou Mingde glanced at Zhou Chun and answered his question in a low voice.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's keep going."

But they hadn't gone far when a few clear bird calls suddenly caught the attention of the Zhou family on the ground.

In the sky a short distance away from them, two giant bluish-gray birds were soaring, moving at an extremely fast speed in the same direction as them.

On the backs of those two giant bluish-gray birds stood twenty or thirty cultivators.

"What kind of monster is that? It looks like its aura is less than the third rank, yet it can carry so many people!"

In the Zhou family's group, Zhou Jiacheng looked at the two giant bluish-gray birds with a surprised expression and asked a question.

"Those are mid-level demonic beasts, Phoenix Feather Stone Vultures. Both are second-tier high-grade demonic beasts. If the intelligence is correct, they should be from the Yan family of Cangzhou!"

This time, it was Zhou Chun who answered Zhou Jiacheng's question.

He had been to Cangzhou before and had some knowledge of the various well-known cultivation families there.

The fact that the Yan family of Cangzhou kept such a rare pair of phoenix-feathered stone vultures made him quite concerned when he heard about it.

I never expected to see this pair of demonic beasts in this way today.

After answering Zhou Jiacheng's questions, he said with a sigh, "The Phoenix Feather Stone Vultures possess dual-elemental wind and earth magic, making them extremely powerful. Fortunately, these two demonic beasts are not contracted spirit pets of the Yan family's Foundation Establishment cultivators, so we shouldn't encounter them at the Hundred Clans Assembly!"

After he finished speaking, Clan Chief Zhou Daoyi took the opportunity to admonish the younger generation: "At this Hundred Clans Conference, powerful clans from all sides of Jing Kingdom will come to showcase their clan's foundation and strength. You should pay attention to observing and learning, remember the situation of each powerful clan, and share your experiences with your fellow clansmen when you return, so that you won't be unaware of the origins of your enemies if conflicts arise in the future!"

"Dao Yi is right. This time, our Zhou family will certainly show our strength, but you must remember not to look down on other families just because you have some strength. You must keep a proper attitude and be humble."

Zhou Mingde nodded, echoing and agreeing with Zhou Daoyi's statement.

After hearing the admonition from these two elders of the Zhou family, who held the highest status in the family, Zhou Jiacheng and the other Zhou family cultivators indeed became much more restrained, and they were no longer as smug as before on the way.

I'm not feeling well today! After updating at such a high intensity continuously, my energy has definitely dropped. It's like someone who's worked two months straight without a break – both mentally and physically, I'm not feeling right! I hope I can recover soon! Tomorrow morning's update will probably be at 11 AM!
