Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 463 [Moonlight Purifies the World] (Please Subscribe)

Inside the main hall of the Moon Wheel Sect.

Seeing Zhou Chun kneeling and begging to sell himself and join his sect, Master Baiyue narrowed his eyes slightly.

He wasn't surprised that Zhou Chun would make this choice.

In the present-day Jing Kingdom, only their Moon Wheel Sect can help Zhou Chun and the Zhou family out of their predicament.

But why would their Moon Wheel Sect accept Zhou Chun and the Zhou family's allegiance?

What benefits would it bring to Zhou Chun and the Zhou family if they accepted their offer of allegiance?

Thinking of this, Master Baiyue narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Chun, saying, "Young friend Zhou should know that our sect is not short of cultivators willing to serve us. If I were to accept your Zhou family on behalf of our sect, I would be breaking the agreement and tacit understanding between the three major sects. Fellow Daoist Qingweizi and Qinglian Temple will certainly express their strong protest."

This wasn't him trying to glorify himself or the Moon Wheel Cult; it was simply the truth.

In fact, given the Moon Wheel Sect's foundation and power, as long as it makes a statement, there will definitely be many Golden Core families and Golden Core cultivators willing to serve it.

Their own sect has many Golden Core stage cultivators, so they are not short of people to serve them.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed not worthwhile to tear off the mask of respect for a powerful force like Qinglian Temple for the sake of Zhou Chun and the Zhou family, making things ugly for both sides and becoming a laughing stock for outsiders.

Even though that was the truth, Zhou Chun still felt quite aggrieved and upset after hearing what Master Baiyue said.

If he hadn't been forced to do so by circumstances, why would he have so humbly knelt down and begged Master Baiyue to take him in and help him?

Why not just be a good family head and focus on developing the family business in Lanzhou?

This made him even more resentful of Qingweizi and Qinglian Temple!

All along, he and Zhou Mingde only wanted to revive and revitalize the Zhou family, and never thought of challenging the rule of Qinglian Temple.

However, Qingweizi and Qinglian Temple pressed on relentlessly, treating the Zhou family as an unstable factor and wanting to eliminate them.

This kind of unreasonable behavior is truly frustrating and infuriating.

Zhou Chun gritted his teeth, his emotions churning, before respectfully replying, "Yes, this junior understands. Given the strength and resources of you and the Moon Wheel Sect, whether a small Zhou family submits or not won't make much difference."

"However, senior would surely not deny that if the junior and the Zhou family were to join us, it would still be of certain benefit to the Moon Wheel Sect. Moreover, the junior and the Zhou family's future potential is certainly unmatched by many Golden Core families!"

"As for the matter of offending the Qinglian Temple by accepting the younger generation and the Zhou family's allegiance, I believe that with the strength and foundation of the Moon Wheel Sect, the Qinglian Temple certainly wouldn't dare to say anything. Perhaps they would even breathe a sigh of relief!"

At this point, Zhou Chun paused slightly before continuing, "Although the Zhou family doesn't have any other great skills, we do have some experience in taming demonic beasts. If you, senior, are willing to accept the Zhou family, we will surely serve the Moon Wheel Sect as herders for generations, providing them with various demonic beasts for transportation!"

Become a special supplier of demon beasts for the Moon Wheel Sect, just like the Wang family of Red Medicine Valley supplied spiritual medicines exclusively to the Green Lotus Temple.

This is the bargaining chip that Zhou Chun and the Zhou family offered.

Just as wealthy families employ grooms and gardeners, large sects like the Moon Wheel Sect also need cultivation families with similar skills to help them with these tasks.

Many major sects even specifically train such families to undertake these tasks.

In this way, they can avoid having their disciples do these tasks that would delay their cultivation, while still enjoying all the conveniences involved, which is a win-win situation.

As for the Zhou family, although doing so would mean becoming a completely vassal family of the Moon Wheel Sect and losing face for the family, it would also gain the true protection and trust of the Moon Wheel Sect.

Given the size and strength of the Moon Wheel Sect, even if the Zhou family produces three or five Golden Core cultivators in the future, they will not have to worry about the Zhou family being able to threaten them. They will only be happy to have more cheap thugs to use.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Chun's words, Master Baiyue also showed a thoughtful expression.

Not just anyone can be a servant in a wealthy and powerful family.

If it were the Zhou family of the past, even if they wanted to be the supplier of cattle and horses, providing the Moon Wheel Sect with all kinds of demonic beasts, Master Baiyue might not have even looked at them.

After all, the best demon beast the Zhou family had cultivated at that time was a mid-grade third-tier Fire God Jackal, and a Green Dragon that had a stroke of luck by swallowing the inner core of a Green Dragon and successfully transforming into a dragon.

In terms of the level of cultivating demonic beasts, it is not as good as the various beast-taming inheritances collected by the Moon Wheel Sect.

However, Zhou Chun has now actually raised a four-clawed thunder dragon, and it is said that he has also raised an earth-elemental turtle demon with considerable strength and potential, which is quite extraordinary.

After all, even within the dragon clan, the Four-Clawed Thunder Dragon is a genius, and its status is incomparable to that of ordinary pure-blooded dragons.

This level of third-tier dragon cannot be cultivated simply by consuming a dragon-transforming grass or a third-tier dragon demon core.

Even if there was a lot of luck involved, it is enough to show that the Zhou family, or rather Zhou Chun, has an ability in cultivating demonic beasts that is unmatched by ordinary people.

Moreover, now that they possess the Wind and Thunder Twin Flood Dragons, the Zhou family will undoubtedly experience a small boom in dragon-blooded demon beasts, and will be able to cultivate some extraordinary dragon-blooded demon beast populations.

Once that four-clawed thunder dragon grows into a fourth-tier dragon, its dragon scales and blood will benefit even Golden Core cultivators.

Thinking of this, Master Baiyue nodded slowly and said, "What young friend Zhou said makes some sense. The Zhou family does have some commendable skills in raising and taming beasts. If they can focus on raising and providing demonic beasts and spirit pets for our sect in the future, it will indeed benefit our disciples a lot."

When he said this, Zhou Chun almost thought he had agreed.

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, he quickly changed the subject and said, "However, the situation is complicated now. Under the current circumstances, all the countries and factions in our Tianling Realm have put aside their prejudices and grudges and are working together to resist the invasion of the demonic factions in the Yuanmo Realm. It is absolutely inappropriate for me and my sect to take the initiative to do something that would undermine the unity of the various factions in Jingguo under the current circumstances."

"Therefore, under these circumstances, I fear that neither I nor our sect can accept the Zhou family's allegiance or grant them protection!"

His meaning was obvious: as the largest sect in Jingguo, the Moon Wheel Sect must not take any action that would undermine unity when everyone is united against external forces.

Therefore, it's impossible for him and the Moon Wheel Sect to take over the Zhou family from the Qinglian Temple now.

The main concern here is the existence of Master Qingxiao.

After all, Master Qingxiao's lifespan is not long now, and he is very concerned about the status and succession of Qinglian Temple after his death. He can be said to be very sensitive in some matters.

If the Moon Wheel Sect were to undermine the Green Lotus Temple at this time and seize the vassal families that originally belonged to the Green Lotus Temple, it would be hard to say how True Person Qingxiao would react.

Therefore, at this time, neither Baiyue Zhenren nor the Moon Wheel Sect would do something so risky for the sake of Zhou Chun and the Zhou family.

There's no need to tell Zhou Chun this outright, otherwise Zhou Chun might think that the Moon Wheel Sect is afraid of the Green Lotus Temple, thus diminishing their prestige.

Zhou Chun hadn't expected that even after lowering himself so much, he would only receive such words from Master Baiyue.

His expression immediately turned very ugly.

He swayed slightly, then said in a low voice, "This junior understands. In that case, this junior will take his leave and will not disturb you any longer!"

He stood up, bowed to Master Baiyue, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Su Yunniang felt a pang of pity, but after glancing at the calm-faced Master Baiyue, she still didn't dare to plead for mercy.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Master Baiyue spoke again: "Young friend Zhou, there's no need to be in such a hurry. I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun, who had been looking disappointed and dejected, suddenly brightened up. He quickly turned around, bowed respectfully, and asked, "Senior, do you have any further instructions?"

Then, Master Baiyue said with a smile, "Although the situation forces us to temporarily refuse the Zhou family's allegiance, I greatly admire you, young friend Zhou, and I am very optimistic about the Zhou family's future potential."

"Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem to help you get rid of the 'Blood Soul Guide' and have Junior Brother Wei Yong take care of you on the battlefield."

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Chun was overjoyed and his hope was rekindled.

Since Master Baiyue was willing to help him eliminate the hidden danger of "Blood Soul Guide" and was also willing to let his superior Wei Yong take better care of him, it shows that he still had the intention to accept the Zhou family.

This is undoubtedly good news.

He immediately bowed and expressed his gratitude, saying, "This junior thanks you for your kindness, senior. I will always remember your great favor and never forget it!"

"Come, sit down first. Let me examine the condition of that 'Blood Soul Guide'!"

With a wave of his hand, Master Baiyue got straight to the point.

Zhou Chun was naturally delighted with this and immediately sat down cross-legged beside him as instructed.

Then, following the instructions of the Moon Worship Master, he relaxed his mind and allowed the master to place a finger on his brow, guiding his consciousness into his own Purple Mansion.

Opening one's Purple Mansion to outsiders is normally a very dangerous thing, especially when the other party is a Golden Core cultivator.

If Master Baiyue harbored even the slightest malice, he could destroy Zhou Chun's Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness and take his life with a mere flick of his finger.

However, since the two sides are vastly different in terms of cultivation level, it doesn't matter what they do.

After Baiyue Zhenren's divine sense entered Zhou Chun Zifu, he quickly saw the layer of blood-red demonic light swirling around his soul.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun had not yet had time to reassemble the "God-Slaying Sword," otherwise this supernatural power would probably have been discovered by him as well.

Fortunately, Master Baiyue had no intention of probing the soul of a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator like him. After observing his Purple Mansion sea of ​​consciousness for a moment, he withdrew his divine sense and gently nodded, saying, "Hmm, it is indeed the 'Blood Soul Guiding' secret technique of the demonic path."

He then explained to Zhou Chun, "This 'Blood Soul Guidance' secret technique directly locks onto a cultivator's soul, making it extremely tricky and difficult to remove. Even ordinary Golden Core cultivators would need a year or two to slowly refine and remove it once they are tainted by it."

"To help someone dispel this 'Blood Soul Guidance,' generally speaking, only a Nascent Soul stage cultivator can ensure success!"

At this point, he smiled smugly and said, "However, I happen to have cultivated a divine power of our sect that can easily help people neutralize this technique!"

"The supernatural power that Master Uncle spoke of, could it be our sect's secret supernatural power, 'Moonlight Purification'?"

Su Yunniang, who had remained silent throughout, finally spoke up, looking at Baiyue Zhenren with surprise and expressing her thoughts.

Upon hearing her words, Master Baiyue chuckled and said, "Hehehe, Junior Nephew Su is right, it is indeed this divine power."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunniang immediately smiled and said to Zhou Chun, "Zhengchun, you should quickly thank your Master Uncle. This [Moonlight Purification] divine power is something that only the Sect Leader and his successor can cultivate, apart from the Supreme Elders. For you to have the Sect Leader personally use this divine power to help you purify yourself is definitely a great fortune!"

Zhou Chun was originally curious about what the [Moonlight Purification] supernatural power was, but after hearing Su Yunniang say this, he realized something and hurriedly thanked the Moon Worshiping Immortal again as she had instructed.

But then Master Baiyue waved his hand and said, "To use the [Moonlight Purification] divine power, it is best to do so at night when the moon rises. There are still more than two hours until the moon rises. Junior Sister Su, why don't you take Friend Zhou to the side hall to rest?"

"Yes, nephew obeys."

Su Yunniang respectfully responded and immediately led Zhou Chun to a side hall.

As soon as the two entered the side hall, Su Yunniang dismissed the several outer sect disciples with Qi Refining stage cultivation who were serving there.

Then, with a smile, he said to Zhou Chun, "Zheng Chun, you've really hit the jackpot this time! I never expected that Master Uncle would value you so much, willing to personally use the [Moonlight Purification] divine power to dispel the 'Blood Soul Guidance' for you!"

Upon hearing her words, Zhou Chun looked thoughtful and said, "Auntie, since you say so, it seems that the [Moonlight Purification] divine power is not just capable of dispelling the 'Blood Soul Guidance,' there must be other benefits as well!"

"Of course, otherwise why would this supernatural power only be cultivated by the sect leader and his successor!"

Su Yunniang nodded, and then explained to Zhou Chun the uses of the [Moonlight Purification] supernatural power.

According to Su Yunniang, the [Moonlight Purification] divine power is a top-tier auxiliary divine power in the world.

This supernatural power draws upon the pure power of the moon to cleanse and purify the cultivator's physical body and soul.

Whether you are afflicted by a rare poison, your body is contaminated by a foreign magical power that is difficult to remove, you are marked with a soul-locking mark such as "Blood Soul Guide," or you have even accidentally been tainted by turbid evil energy, the [Moonlight Purification] supernatural power can cleanse and purify it completely!

Moreover, even without being contaminated by harmful substances, normal cultivators who undergo the purification of their physical body and soul by the [Moonlight Purification] divine power will have all their hidden injuries and ailments, as well as the residual poisons from pills, cleansed and removed, restoring their physical body and soul to a pure state.

Therefore, in the Moon Wheel Sect, any cultivator who wants to form their core can apply to the sect leader for help in performing the [Moonlight Purification] divine power to cleanse and purify their physical body and soul, allowing them to be in the best possible condition to attempt the core formation.

Before Su Yunniang formed her core, she had already experienced the cleansing effect of the [Moonlight Purification] supernatural power, so she was very clear about its benefits.

After explaining the benefits of the [Moonlight Purification] divine power to Zhou Chun, she remarked with a touch of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection), "You should know that even for disciples of our sect, unless they are attempting to break through to the Golden Core stage, it takes at least 100,000 points of sect merit to request the sect leader to use the [Moonlight Purification] divine power even once!"

"As for those outside our sect, anyone who wants the sect leader to help them cast the [Moonlight Purification] spell must prepare a generous gift and do him a favor in order to obtain his assistance!"

"When Yuzhen is about to form her core, I, her aunt, will also ask the headmaster to use the [Moonlight Purification] divine power on her so that she can form her core in the best possible condition!"

After hearing her words, Zhou Chun finally understood what kind of opportunity she had encountered this time.

Still somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Since the [Moonlight Purification] divine power is so powerful, why does the Moon Wheel Sect stipulate that only the sect leader and his successor can cultivate it? Is it to prevent it from being leaked and allowing outsiders to learn it as well?"

Upon hearing his question, Su Yunniang immediately shook her head slightly and said, "Of course, there's an element of secrecy involved, but the bigger reason is that to master this supernatural power, one needs the assistance of a treasure from our sect. It's said that after each person successfully masters this supernatural power with the help of that treasure, it needs to accumulate power again for a long time, so it simply can't be popularized!"

Zhou Chun understood immediately and wisely refrained from further inquiries about what the treasure was.

However, she knew in her heart that even Su Yunniang herself probably didn't know what kind of treasure it was.

However, he was also secretly astonished at this moment, and had to admire the formidable foundation of a major sect like the Moon Wheel Sect.

In terms of true value, the only thing he possesses that can barely be compared to the [Moonlight Purification] supernatural power is probably the [Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad Chapter], which he cannot yet cultivate.

Even the "Dragon Transformation Secret Manual" pales in comparison.

There are countless extraordinary people in the world!

"If the Moon Wheel Sect possesses a divine power like the [Moonlight Purification], then do other forces of similar level also have divine powers passed down to them?"

"Compared to these truly ancient and powerful forces, my Zhou family is indeed just a humble family, and we still have a long way to go!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but feel moved, as this broadened his horizons once again.

Before this, neither he nor the cultivators of the Zhou family had ever heard of the name or use of the [Moonlight Purification] divine power.

This is clearly a secret that only certain Golden Core cultivators can access, and one that is not convenient to disclose to outsiders.

Ordinary cultivators would never have imagined that the turbid and malevolent energy that inspires fear could be purified not only with special spiritual objects and pills, but also with such a simple and effective supernatural power.

Zhou Chun also firmly believed that if a Qi Refining cultivator obtained the [Moonlight Purification] divine power to cleanse and purify their physical body before Foundation Establishment, even without Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment spiritual items, it would probably increase their Foundation Establishment success rate by 10% to 20%.

If one possesses a Foundation Establishment Pill, even a cultivator with low-grade spiritual root aptitude would have a 60% chance of successfully establishing their foundation.

If he can master this supernatural power, then the success rate of cultivating Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion stage cultivators in the Zhou family will definitely be much higher than that of normal families, if not more Golden Core stage cultivators.

"There must be some kind of limitation on its application, otherwise the Moon Wheel Sect wouldn't just have a few more Purple Mansion stage cultivators than the Flame Sun Sect and the Azure Lotus Temple, but should have several times more!"

He thought to himself that perhaps this was the normal thing to do.

But deep down, he was increasingly looking forward to the spellcasting that night.

After waiting in the side hall for more than two hours, Zhou Chun and Su Yunniang returned to the main hall of the sect when the moon was high in the sky.

"Come with me."

Master Baiyue glanced at Su Yunniang and Zhou Chun, then, without saying a word, led them away from the sect leader's hall and headed to a certain spot on the mountaintop.

The three of them finally stopped in front of an altar somewhere on the mountaintop.

The altar was octagonal in shape and appeared to be constructed from some special jade. It was black and engraved with many silver-white moon symbols and silver spiritual patterns.

At the suggestion of the Moon Worshiping Immortal, Zhou Chun walked to the center of the altar, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate with his eyes closed, emptying his mind.

The Moon Worshiping Immortal looked up at the full moon in the sky, then made a hand seal and cast a spell that landed on the altar.

Suddenly, seemingly drawn by some mysterious attraction, the moonlight that had been scattered across the earth began to surge toward the altar.

The moonlight shining down on this place suddenly became much stronger.

Soon, Zhou Chun on the altar was bathed in a silvery-white moonlight.

Just then, Master Baiyue suddenly took flight and flew directly above Zhou Chunzheng.

Immediately afterwards, he solemnly formed hand seals, absorbing the moonlight power surging from all directions into front of him, gradually forming a silvery-white ball of moonlight power in front of him.

As time slowly passed, the ball of moonlight in front of Master Baiyue grew larger and larger, as if it had replaced the full moon in the sky and formed a new moon.

At the same time, mysterious silver runes appeared one after another.

At this moment, Master Baiyue raised his hand and touched his brow, and a silver crescent moon mark appeared on his brow.

Then a silver ray of light shot out from the silver crescent mark between his eyebrows and landed in the ball of moonlight in front of him.

Instantly, as if adding the finishing touch to a painting, the ball of moonlight in front of him quickly "came to life" and truly transformed into a silver-white full moon.

The Moon Worshiping Immortal held the full moon in his hand and tossed it towards Zhou Chun. The silvery-white full moon flew down towards Zhou Chun and quickly engulfed him.

At this moment, Zhou Chun felt a chill run through his body, and a vast, cool, water-like power surged into his body through every pore, flowing into his Purple Mansion and Sea of ​​Consciousness.

The blood-red light surrounding his soul quickly began to fade and dissipate under the sudden influx of silvery-white power.

His soul, however, felt exceptionally comfortable bathed in the silvery-white power.

Then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, Zhou Chun began to wholeheartedly cultivate the secret technique of "Heart Lotus Orthodox Method".

Just as he entered into meditation to cultivate his secret technique, the [Moon Toad Pearl], which had remained silent within his dantian, suddenly began to stealthily absorb the moonlight power flowing into his body, like a thief.

Fortunately, this treasure only absorbed the moonlight power flowing into Zhou Chun's body and did not touch the moonlight power outside, otherwise it would definitely not have been able to hide it from Baiyue Zhenren, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

After about a quarter of an hour, the moonlight power around Zhou Chun dissipated completely, but he was still wholeheartedly cultivating the secret technique of "Heart Lotus Orthodox Method" and did not wake up.

"Strange, why did the moonlight dissipate so quickly this time? Is it because this kid was meditating and cultivating some kind of supernatural power?"

Master Baiyue looked at Zhou Chun, who was meditating with his eyes closed on the altar, and a look of surprise and doubt flashed in his eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, but still did not release his divine sense to disturb Zhou Chun's cultivation. He simply instructed Su Yunniang, "Junior Nephew Su, wait here for him to wake up, and then take him to see me. I have something to ask him."
