Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Zhou Chun didn't know whether Master Yuanjing had successfully obtained compensation from the Moon Wheel Sect and the Flame Sun Sect.

However, he understood that the situation in Yasukuni would definitely become more complicated in the future.

Silver Moon Immortal suffered a great loss and will certainly not let it go easily.

Since Master Ziyang lost his physical body and the sect's inherited spiritual treasures, he had also become mortal enemies with him. Once he recovered, it was impossible for him not to seek revenge.

Fortunately, he is now powerful enough that even if the two factions attack together, he can still fight back with the help of the mountain-protecting formation.

Time passed slowly as Zhou Chun diligently practiced his supernatural abilities and secret techniques to enhance his strength, while also quietly waiting for the Flame Sun Sect and the Moon Wheel Sect to make their moves.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three years, the two factions have remained completely calm, much to Zhou Chun's surprise.

After Feng Kingdom announced the list of those involved in the battle of Youquan Lake, these Nascent Soul cultivators from Jing Kingdom became the most condemned sinners in Feng Kingdom's cultivation world, their reputations completely ruined.

However, they had anticipated this, so they didn't care.

In any case, Nascent Soul stage cultivators have long lifespans. In another hundred or several hundred years, most of the cultivators in the Feng Kingdom's cultivation world will have died out. With the passage of time, naturally not many people will remember or mention this matter anymore.

Furthermore, this incident only damaged Zhou Chun's personal reputation, and had a very limited impact on the Zhou family.

On the Zhou family's side, Zhou Zhiying even successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm on her own.

Meanwhile, after consuming two [Six Yang Profound Fire Pills] in succession, Zhou Mingde also forcibly broke through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

He didn't want to waste such a precious elixir, because he had less than two hundred years left to live.

However, Zhou Chun believed that the higher his cultivation level, the stronger the power of the [Heavenly Azure Dragon Formation] would be when he wielded it. Therefore, after much persuasion, he finally accepted the offer.

In addition to the two Golden Core stage cultivators who made breakthroughs in their cultivation, the Zhou family also added three Purple Mansion stage cultivators, including a female cultivator from a maternal relative named Wang Shengnan.

All of this was made possible by the resources Zhou Chun brought back after achieving Nascent Soul.

Moreover, if luck isn't too bad, the Zhou family should have another Golden Core cultivator appearing within twenty or thirty years.

In conclusion, time is on the Zhou family's side.

As time goes by, the number of cultivators at all levels in the Zhou family will only increase, and their strength will only grow stronger.

Another six months passed, and what Zhou Chun had been waiting for finally happened.

That day, he was meditating in his cave when he suddenly sensed two powerful auras approaching the Azure Lotus Mountains. He was quite familiar with one of the auras.

Upon discovering this, he quickly instructed Zhou Mingde and the others to take their positions and prepare for battle, while he took the initiative to fly the Thunder Dragon King Bai Bai outside the formation.

Two streaks of light were seen flying rapidly toward the Azure Lotus Mountains from a distance of over a hundred miles away, before stopping in mid-air a few dozen miles from Zhou Chun.

Of the two, Zhou Chun was naturally familiar with Yin Yue Zhenren, whose expression was slightly pale and who looked like he had not yet recovered from serious injuries.

Another elderly man in black surprised him even more.

This person's aura was deep and dark, giving Zhou Chun a very dangerous feeling, just like when he faced the fifth-rank superior fire dragon king!

If he wasn't mistaken, this person was probably a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

Thinking about it this way, he began to have some guesses about the person's identity.

"May I ask if you are Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen of the True Mystery Sect in person?"

Zhou Chun's expression turned solemn, and he respectfully bowed to the old man in black, taking the initiative to inquire about the man's background.

Currently, there are only two Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Heavenly Spirit Realm: one is Kunxu Zhenren, and the other is Xuanzhen Zhenren, the Supreme Elder of the True Profound Sect.

The current Heavenly Spirit Alliance is led by these two individuals.

Although Zhou Chun had never met these two people, he had heard Tianjing Zhenren describe Kunxu Zhenren's appearance, which clearly did not match the black-clad old man in the present.

He also found it hard to believe that True Person Silver Moon could invite a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from another region.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, the old man in black calmly said, "I am Xuanzhen."

His tone was neither warm nor cold, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

However, his act of following Yin Yue Zhenren to the Qinglian Mountains itself speaks volumes.

Therefore, Zhou Chun immediately became wary, but still managed a smile and replied loudly, "It's an honor to meet you! But may I ask what brings Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen here today?"

"Let Fellow Daoist Silver Moon explain this!"

Master Xuanzhen glanced at Master Yinyue beside him and replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, True Person Silver Moon's gaze darkened as he stared at Zhou Chun and hissed, "Zhou Zhengchun, you secretly colluded with the fallen Netherworld Ghost Cultivator Heavenly Mirror to plot against me and Fellow Daoist Ziyang, destroying Fellow Daoist Ziyang's physical body and seizing his sect's inherited spiritual treasures and all his savings. Do you know your crime?!"

Faced with his accusations, Zhou Chun retorted in a deep voice, showing no sign of backing down, "What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Yin Yue? Years ago, that old thief Zi Yang conspired with foreign cultivators to assassinate me, but I saw through his plan and thwarted his plot. This is merely an eye for an eye, letting him reap what he sows!"

After speaking, he looked at Master Xuanzhen and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen, are you here to avenge that old scoundrel Ziyang?"

"Although I am acquainted with Fellow Daoist Ziyang, we are not that close."

Master Xuanzhen shook his head slightly, then looked at him with a deep gaze and asked, "But do you admit to Fellow Daoist Yinyue's accusation that you colluded with Tianjing to harm him and Fellow Daoist Ziyang?"

Zhou Chun's heart skipped a beat, and he keenly sensed the trap in the other party's words.

It seems that, just as he had feared, ghost cultivators are indeed a taboo existence in the cultivation world.

Now that he had discovered this, he certainly wouldn't admit it.

He immediately spoke firmly, "No! I, Zhou, have never laid a hand on Fellow Daoist Silver Moon. I only wanted to eliminate that old scoundrel Ziyang because of personal grudges!"

"Ridiculous! You think you can just say it didn't happen? I've already shown Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen the footage of that battle from back then. You can't deny it!"

Master Yinyue let out a cold laugh and spoke sharply about his reliance.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chun showed no panic after hearing his words, and calmly replied, "So what? You say that I, Zhou, conspired with Tianjing, but what concrete evidence do you have? You can't convict me based solely on your wishful thinking!"

"Evidence? Wasn't your ambush there the best evidence? If you weren't colluding with Tianjing, why didn't he attack you?"

Silver Moon Master asked in a cold tone.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately said in a serious tone, "I only received intelligence that the old thief Ziyang would be going there, and that's why I went there to ambush him. As for why Tianjing didn't attack me, it's simply because he's not strong enough and dares not make a move!"

After saying that, he smiled naturally and looked at Lei Jiao Wang Bai Bai beside him.

Seeing this, True Person Silver Moon stopped arguing with him and turned to True Person Profound Truth, saying, "Fellow Daoist Profound Truth, look! I told you this boy was cunning, treacherous, and ruthless. It's pitiful that Fellow Daoist Qingxiao sacrificed himself for our Tianling Kingdom, only to have his lineage destroyed by such a cunning villain. Even more pitiful is Fellow Daoist Ziyang, who was dedicated to eliminating demons, yet was harmed by this traitor, and even his sect's inherited treasures fell into his hands!"

Hearing him bring up Qingxiao Zhenren, who had been dead for hundreds of years, Zhou Chun couldn't help but laugh.

He couldn't help but sneer, saying, "I, Zhou, destroyed the remnants of the Qinglian Temple, and I have no reason to deny that. However, I personally gifted you, Fellow Daoist Yinyue, the top-grade magic treasure that True Immortal Qingxiao left for the descendants of the Qinglian Temple. You haven't forgotten that so quickly, have you?"

Silver Moon Immortal's expression darkened, and he was about to speak in rebuttal.

Unexpectedly, Master Xuanzhen suddenly spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, are you aware that colluding with fallen ghost cultivators is one of the most taboo things in our human cultivation world, second only to colluding with other races to betray human interests!"

As he spoke, he stared intently at Zhou Chun, his gaze sharp and penetrating, as if he possessed the power to see through people's hearts.

Zhou Chun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately replied without hesitation, "I am not aware of this matter, but I have always acted uprightly and honestly. Whether it was the war between immortals and demons or the resistance against the beast tide, I have always been at the forefront, never lagging behind others. I have a clear conscience and have done right by the human race and the cultivation world of Jing Kingdom!"

His words, spoken at the end, were firm and resounding, full of righteousness.

Upon hearing his answer, Master Xuanzhen first nodded, then asked in a deep voice, "Then, Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you dare to swear an oath on your own path of cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun's expression immediately changed.

He immediately glared at the other party with extreme shock and anger, and hissed, "What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen? I am no criminal, how can I tolerate such insults!"

"You dare not swear, which means you have something to hide; everything you said before was a complete lie!"

Silver Moon Master sneered, finally finding Zhou Chun's weakness.

"Only the weak resort to lies to deceive others, but unfortunately, Mr. Zhou is not weak!"

Zhou Chun responded calmly, then looked at Xuanzhen Zhenren with a composed expression and said, "I have said all I need to say. Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you, Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen!"

"I will first believe what Fellow Daoist Zhou has to say."

Master Xuanzhen replied without changing his expression, then suddenly changed the subject, saying, "However, Fellow Daoist Ziyang is an elder of our Heavenly Spirit Alliance. Fellow Daoist Zhou destroyed his physical body and seized his sect's inherited spiritual treasures. Although this is a personal feud between the two of them, as the leader of the alliance, I must seek justice for him out of both morality and reason!"

"What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen? Do you perhaps intend to fight me for the sake of that old scoundrel Ziyang?"

Zhou Chun's eyes turned cold, and his tone also turned icy.

Master Xuanzhen offered little explanation, simply stating, "To avoid accusations of bullying the weak, if Fellow Daoist Zhou can withstand ten of my moves, I will not pursue this matter further. Furthermore, if you wish to join the Heavenly Spirit Alliance, I would be more than happy to oblige!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but sneer, "Very well, since Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen insists on this, then I, Zhou, will experience Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen's superior skills!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Thunder Dragon King Bai Bai beside him immediately reverted to his dragon form with a dragon roar.

Facing a powerful cultivator like Master Xuanzhen in the late Nascent Soul stage, neither master nor servant dared to be negligent in the slightest.

Furthermore, to avoid causing damage to the Azure Lotus Mountain Range during the battle, the master and servant quickly left the area and headed to the skies above the Azure Heaven.

Master Xuanzhen seemed very confident, and only began to act after he and his servant had set up their formation.

"First move!"

As soon as Xuanzhen Zhenren's calm voice rang out, a stunning azure sword rainbow pierced through the air and hurtled towards him at an extreme speed.

Thunder Dragon King Bai Bai reacted extremely quickly, immediately spitting out the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword] to meet the azure sword rainbow.

As a result, the top-grade magic weapon flying sword, crackling with lightning, crumbled upon contact and was easily cleaved away by the cyan sword rainbow, completely outmatched.

If this treasure hadn't incorporated multiple top-tier spiritual materials, greatly enhancing its durability, it would likely have suffered significant damage!

The cyan sword rainbow only appeared slightly dimmer, continuing its unwavering pursuit of Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun dared not be presumptuous and immediately unleashed his innate divine power, [Qiongqi Enters Dream].

A fierce roar resounded from within him, and the phantom of the legendary "Qiongqi" beast appeared in his eyes. Then, he formed a hand seal and pushed forward, and a point of golden light as bright as starlight burst out, forming a Gengjin divine light that struck the cyan sword rainbow!

This is precisely the [Formless Gengjin Divine Light] that he had painstakingly cultivated for many years.

He had only recently mastered this supernatural ability, and its power was not particularly strong.

However, in order to quickly acquire a signature supernatural ability, he used the remaining spiritual items that were suspected to be [Taiyuan Golden Liquid] to assist in cultivating this supernatural ability.

With the help of this rare and precious metal spiritual object, he directly saved over a hundred years of hard work and advanced this supernatural power to the minor completion stage!

At this moment, with the blessing of the innate divine power of [Qiongqi Enters Dream], the power of that [Formless Gengjin Divine Light] increased even more, infinitely approaching the Great Completion Realm!

The azure sword rainbow and the golden divine light clashed in mid-air, like needles clashing against wheat awns, unleashing a terrifyingly powerful energy.

After a few breaths of stalemate, the golden divine light was ultimately slightly inferior and was shattered into scattered golden light by the cyan sword rainbow.

However, the cyan sword rainbow also consumed almost 80% of its power, directly revealing the cyan wooden sword itself.

Upon seeing this, Master Xuanzhen's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and he then took back the flying sword that was no longer capable of accomplishing its purpose.

Then, he formed a hand seal and waved his hand, and a bolt of azure lightning struck directly at Zhou Chun's head.

Zhou Chun had no time to prepare and could only activate the Moon Toad Pearl to unleash the "Taiyin Protective Immortal Robe" to protect himself.

As a result, the magical treasure that had protected him so many times before was shattered by the azure lightning this time, causing him to vomit blood and fly backward with his body emitting blue smoke.

He was seriously injured in an instant!

"Do not harm my lord!"

Thunder Dragon King roared angrily, worried that True Immortal Xuanzhen would press his advantage, so he hurriedly activated his trump card, Shadow of the True Dragon.

Facing a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, this was the only way it could put up a fight!

I'm still at the hospital taking care of her, and even in the best-case scenario, she won't be able to be discharged for several more days! And this time she's really going to have a massive hemorrhage; she might lose several months' worth of work!!
