Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Qinglian Peak.

On this day, dark clouds gathered on Qinglian Peak, and strange phenomena appeared in the sky.

Inside the Zhou family's mountain gate, many Zhou family cultivators came out of their rooms after discovering this strange phenomenon, and looked at a certain spot on Qinglian Peak with envious eyes.

"The spiritual energy is surging, and extraordinary phenomena are appearing in the sky. It can be declared that Grandmaster Cunxin has successfully completed his Golden Core formation during his seclusion. The family has gained another Golden Core elder!"

Zhou Yuanxin, a core member of the Zhou family, looked at the extraordinary spectacle in the sky with envy and couldn't help but sigh.

Thanks to the large amount of millennium-old spiritual herbs produced by the Wood Spirit and Wood Mulberry, his cultivation has also improved over the years, and he has now advanced to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

Judging by his lifespan, he will definitely have the opportunity to try to form a core in the future.

However, having the opportunity to attempt Core Formation does not guarantee success!

So when he saw that a family elder who was once at the same level as him had suddenly succeeded in forming his core, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't envious.

In another courtyard, Wang Shengnan, who had previously been received by Zhou Chun, gazed at the strange phenomenon in the sky with envy and exclaimed, "Uncle Cunxin successfully formed his core at nearly four hundred years old. Although it's not as astonishing as Ancestor Mingde's achievement, it can still be considered a late bloomer!"

After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh with regret, "On the path of cultivation, anything is indeed possible. We must never become arrogant and complacent, thinking ourselves superior to others, just because we have taken the lead!"

After what happened before, she is now completely devoted to the Zhou family.

When she learned that Zhou Chun had been ambushed and seriously injured while investigating in Le Country, she was horrified and almost thought she was going to die!

During the months following the incident, she remained in her residence, feeling utterly hopeless. She neither meditated nor went out, nor ate, just like a condemned prisoner awaiting execution.

Although she knew that she had absolutely no intention of deceiving her family and that she was completely kept in the dark.

But even she herself knew that if she were Zhou Mingde or the others, it would be hard not to be angry with her after such a thing happened!

After all, Zhou Chun was far too important to the Zhou family. Wang Shengnan's life was probably not even worth a single hair of Zhou Chun's.

If they were to take their anger out on her and accuse her of treason, the other Zhou family cultivators, including those related to the maternal relatives, would definitely applaud and shout that she was killed!

To her utter surprise, Zhou Daoyi, upon learning of her situation, personally came to comfort and console her, assuring her that he would not hold a grudge against her without cause.

After undergoing a magical examination by the Demon King Musang, it was confirmed that she had not done anything to betray the Zhou family, and the suspicion and confinement against her were completely lifted.

After this incident, she was completely devoted to the Zhou family.

She is now considered a rising star among the Zhou family's maternal relatives, wielding considerable influence within the group.

If the Zhou family were to promote a new leader among the maternal relatives in the future, she would have a great chance, and obtaining a Core Formation spiritual item would certainly not be too difficult.

Regardless of what these younger generations thought, Zhou Chun couldn't help but nod slightly and show a satisfied expression after seeing the Core Formation celestial phenomenon in the sky.

Zhou Chun didn't have a deep impression of Zhou Cunxin, who had just successfully formed his core, because he was just an ordinary person among the Purple Mansion stage cultivators of the Zhou family, far less famous than Zhou Zhixiong and Zhou Zhiqian.

However, his success in forming his core this time was inextricably linked to Zhou Chun.

The Core Formation Spiritual Object he used for this Core Formation was specially approved by Zhou Chun. This was because the Zhou family needed to increase the number of Golden Core cultivators, so they gave him an extra quota for exchanging Core Formation Spiritual Objects.

Of course, the reason this spot was awarded to Zhou Cunxin was not only because his cultivation level met the standard, but also because he had presented a unique technique to his family.

This extraordinary technique is called the "Mysterious Heart Embryo Planting Technique," a unique technique created to solve the fertility difficulties of high-level cultivators.

After practicing this technique, as long as a high-level cultivator is willing to sacrifice a certain amount of their own vital energy, there is a high chance that the female cultivator will successfully become pregnant, and the baby born will be born with spiritual roots.

After Zhou Cunxin presented this technique, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Mingde were very impressed by its effects. They then consulted with Su Yuzhen, who was already living in the Zhou family, and the three of them came together to persuade Zhou Chun to leave behind an heir.

The three of them were Zhou Chun's closest people in this world, and Zhou Chun felt very helpless in the face of their unanimous persuasion.

Zhou Chun himself was not particularly concerned about whether he had children.

Although he did have a throne to pass to his descendants, he himself had no intention of leaving any descendants.

However, Zhou Mingde, Su Yuzhen, and others clearly did not think so.

Zhou Mingde wanted Zhou Chun to leave behind a descendant, not only for his own sake but also for the future of the Zhou family.

If Zhou Chun leaves behind descendants, he will naturally become the rightful head of the Zhou family in the future.

If a descendant of his own bloodline holds power in the family, even a thousand years later, when Zhou Mingde and others have long since passed away, Zhou Chun will certainly continue to care about the affairs of the Zhou family for the sake of his descendants.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Chun can be bound by his descendants, so that he will not abandon his family after all his relatives and elders have passed away!

Su Yuzhen had similar thoughts, but she genuinely wanted to have a child with Zhou Chun and didn't want to have any regrets in her life.

Zhou Chun was actually aware of all this, but he couldn't say it outright.

Of course, he himself was not absolutely determined not to have any descendants.

Therefore, faced with the joint persuasion of his three closest relatives, he could not refuse outright. At that time, he could only postpone it for the time being, saying that his own energy had not fully recovered, and that he could consider the matter more.

Zhou Cunxin, who has now successfully formed his core, gained the appreciation of Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi by presenting the extraordinary technique "Mysterious Heart Embryo Planting Technique." After more than ten years of seclusion, he successfully formed his core.

Upon seeing that Zhou Cunxin had successfully formed his core, Zhou Mingde quickly came to visit Zhou Chun and brought up the old matter of leaving an heir.

After his persuasion was successful, he sighed softly, "I have recently had a premonition that my lifespan is less than twenty years. If I can see you, Zhengchun, leave an heir for the family before I die, I will have no regrets in this life!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun, who had previously maintained an unchanging expression, looked at him with surprise and said, "What makes you say that, sir? As far as I know, after taking the [Longevity Pill], you should have at least another sixty years of lifespan!"

"Using this kind of elixir, the 'Longevity Pill of Jiazi,' on an old man like me would be too wasteful. I should keep it in the family for now and wait until someone needs it in the future!"

Zhou Mingde shook his head slightly and told the truth in a low voice.

It turns out that although he accepted the elixir back then, it was only to put Zhou Chun at ease. In fact, he never took the longevity elixir himself, but was determined to pass it down as a family heirloom.

Such a miraculous elixir, if preserved in a time-honored jade bottle, can retain its efficacy even after thousands of years.

It's uncertain whether Zhou Chun will still be alive at that time. Perhaps the pillar of the Zhou family will need such longevity pills to extend his lifespan and continue to protect the family.

Therefore, for the sake of the safety of his family's future generations, Zhou Mingde did not intend to take this precious longevity elixir himself.

Upon hearing the truth from him, Zhou Chun frowned deeply.

"Well then, since you've said so, I won't try to persuade you any further."

In the end, Zhou Chun could only sigh and did not offer any further advice on the matter.

He then nodded to Zhou Mingde and said, "I understand what you mean. After thinking about leaving descendants for future generations over the years, I also feel that it is not entirely impossible."

At this point, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "However, I have an important matter to attend to next, and it's not convenient for me to do this right now. Let's wait until I return successfully before proceeding!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde clapped his hands repeatedly with great satisfaction, exclaiming, "Excellent! Excellent! As long as Zhengchun has this wish, I will be satisfied!"

For him, as long as Zhou Chun agreed to leave offspring, it would already be a victory.

When Zhou Chun will leave offspring is not something he should be urging.

The reason Zhou Chun made this decision can only be attributed to the significant efforts of his closest associates.

The one who contributed the most and was happiest upon learning of this was none other than Su Yuzhen.

After learning about Zhou Chun's decision, she also started learning about parenting experiences in advance.

At this time, Zhou Chun wrote a letter to Master Ziyang, explaining that he had recovered from his injuries.

Upon receiving Zhou Chun's letter, Master Ziyang was overjoyed. He immediately went to find his junior brother, Master Baiyang, to explain the details, and then personally went to the Qinglian Mountains to visit Zhou Chun.

He would never have dared to do this in the past.

But now Master Ziyang knows that if Zhou Chun wanted to harm him, he wouldn't need to lure him to the mountain gate.

Furthermore, Zhou Chun has absolutely no motive to kill him.

Therefore, he was very calm and not at all uneasy when he went to the Zhou family.

After meeting him, Zhou Chun looked at him with a half-smile and teased, "Fellow Daoist Ziyang, you came to the Zhou family all alone. Aren't you afraid that I might harm you?"

Faced with the teasing, Master Ziyang gave a wry smile and replied in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Zhou is joking. With your supernatural powers, if you truly wanted to harm me, even if I hid within the mountain gate, I would still be doomed. Why bother with such a fuss?"

This answer clearly pleased Zhou Chun greatly, who was very satisfied with his sensible decision to recognize reality.

He smiled and said, "I was just joking with Fellow Daoist Ziyang. Don't take it too seriously. I'm not a bloodthirsty person."

Master Ziyang could only respond with a wry smile, not daring to say anything more.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun stopped teasing him and nodded slightly, saying, "Since Fellow Daoist Ziyang dared to come here alone, it shows some sincerity. So, Fellow Daoist, please tell me in detail about the two-headed black dragon. At least let me know how far its habitat is from the holy cities of the major alien races in Tianman Plain!"

Upon hearing this, True Person Ziyang hurriedly explained, "Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Zhou, although the place where that two-headed black dragon dwells is not in the outer region of Tianman Plain, it is certainly still a long distance from the holy cities of the three major alien races. Otherwise, how could those alien races tolerate its existence!"

At this point, he smiled wryly and said, "If there are indeed other powerful beings around the nest of that two-headed black dragon, I wouldn't dare to accompany Fellow Daoist Zhou on this adventure."

That's right, besides leading Zhou Chun, he also had to help Zhou Chun fight the two-headed black dragon.

Otherwise, he would have gotten a magical treasure just by providing information, which would have been too much of a bargain!

This is also an important reason why Zhou Chun dared to trust him.

After hearing his explanation, Zhou Chun's remaining doubts disappeared, and she quickly nodded and said, "That's good. Now we can prepare to set off."

Yes, Zhou Chun is now preparing to hunt that two-headed black dragon.

After years of recuperation, not only has his own vitality been fully restored, but Silver Dragon Lord has also fully recovered his vitality and is no longer affected in battle.

Although Feng Yuanjun's burned-out Phoenix Feather has not yet grown back, her strength will not be greatly affected; it's just that her cultivation level will be temporarily difficult to improve.

In this situation, the four demon kings' spirit pets can fully unleash the power of the "Heavenly Absolute Four Symbols Formation".

Prior to this, Zhou Chun had already personally experienced the power of the "Heavenly Absolute Four Symbols Formation" composed of four demon kings.

It can only be said that its power did not disappoint him, and it truly lived up to its name of "Heavenly Annihilation"!

Upon hearing this, Master Ziyang was overjoyed and couldn't help but clap his hands in approval, exclaiming, "Excellent! I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Afterwards, the two explained their respective matters and set off together for Tianman Plain.

The Heavenly Soul Clan in the Heavenly Barbarian Plains possesses a mysterious monitoring method that allows them to sense and monitor the aura of fifth-order beings active within the Heavenly Barbarian Plains.

Therefore, in most cases, human Nascent Soul stage cultivators would not risk venturing deep into the Tianman Plains, lest they be surrounded and annihilated by those fifth-tier alien beings.

However, this monitoring method is not without its flaws.

The simplest loophole is that as long as a Nascent Soul cultivator doesn't use fifth-level methods, their magical energy fluctuations won't be detected unless they reach the fifth level.

Therefore, when Master Ziyang ventured deep into the Tianman Plain to search for the nest of the two-headed black dragon, he hired several late-stage Golden Core cultivators to "protect" him. All matters that required manual intervention were left to those late-stage Golden Core cultivators.

Now, Zhou Chun and he are heading to the lair of the two-headed black dragon, with Mu Mei Mu Sang and the Golden-Winged Tiger acting as their guards and transport.

The Wood Spirit and Wood Mulberry possess exceptional stealth abilities, ensuring they remain undetected by the Heavenly Soul Clan. They can also monitor the situation within a radius of hundreds of miles for the Golden-Winged Tiger, guiding it away from dangerous areas.

Zhou Chun and Master Ziyang hid inside the Golden-Winged Tiger's "spatial pouch," revealing no trace of their presence.

Following Master Ziyang's guidance, the group traveled for half a month in the Tianman Plain before arriving near a large lake deep within it.

According to Master Ziyang, the two-headed black dragon that escaped from the Great Zhou Kingdom into the Tianman Plain is now dwelling in the underwater spiritual veins beneath this lake.

Zhou Chun emerged from the Golden-Winged Tiger's "spatial pouch," stood on its back, and looked out. He saw that the lake in front of him was vast and boundless, with no view of the opposite shore. The water became increasingly dark and murky as it receded into the distance, giving it an unfathomable depth.

After surveying the lake, he said in a low voice, "Black dragons are adept at water. This lake is vast, and the underground water veins must be extremely complex. If we fight at the bottom of the lake, even if the two-headed black dragon is no match for us, it can still escape using the water. At that time, capturing it will be exceptionally difficult!"

Upon hearing this, Master Ziyang nodded in deep agreement, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhou is quite right. Therefore, we need to find a way to lure him out first!"

"Fellow Daoist Ziyang, do you have any brilliant plan?"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately turned to look at him.

"Ahem, I have prepared a little trick, but I don't know if it will work. If it doesn't, I might have to ask Lord Silver Dragon to intervene!"

Master Ziyang coughed awkwardly twice and whispered his thoughts.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, taking out a Soul-Sealing Coffin used by the Corpse Demon Cult to raise corpses.

As he opened the lid of the Soul-Sealing Coffin, inside lay a demonic corpse covered in black dragon scales and topped with a single dragon horn!

Judging from the aura of this demonic corpse, it has already reached the fourth level of cultivation.

"Oh, this is a demonic corpse refined using the corpses of cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect?"

After staring at the demonic corpse in the coffin for a while, Zhou Chun quickly figured out its origins and his eyes showed surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou truly has discerning eyes. This item originally fell into the hands of one of our sect's elders, and later ended up in my possession. Thinking it was a rare and precious item, I kept it for the time being. I never expected it would come in handy today!"

Regardless of whether Zhou Chun believed it or not, Master Ziyang first explained why he possessed this item.

Then, seemingly afraid that Zhou Chun would delve deeper, he immediately explained, "This corpse happened to be a cultivator who used the Black Dragon's Blood to cultivate the 'Dragon Transformation Secret Technique' before its death. The Black Dragon's bloodline still remains within its body. I used the Soul Splitting Possession Technique to drive it to the bottom of the water to stir up trouble, which will surely attract the interest of that two-headed Black Dragon. Once it discerns the corpse's origin and tries to find my location, Fellow Daoist Zhou can use swift and decisive means to trap it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun knew that Master Ziyang had definitely made careful preparations.

Indeed, for this two-headed black dragon that originated from the Dragon Transformation Sect, seeing traces of the sect again after a thousand years would likely pique its curiosity, prompting it to want to find out what happened.

Moreover, this is the Tianman Plain. Normally speaking, human Nascent Soul stage cultivators would not dare to come here, and even if they did, they would not dare to cause a big commotion.

Therefore, the two-headed black dragon basically doesn't need to worry about someone setting an ambush to harm it.

Such a cunning scheme, which fully exploits their curiosity and self-confidence, could only have been conceived and executed through meticulous planning.

However, for Zhou Chun, this only brought benefits and no harm.

Therefore, he had no intention of investigating the origin of the demonic corpse. Instead, he praised, "Fellow Daoist Ziyang is indeed thoughtful. Then I, Zhou, will await your good news."

With that, he and Master Ziyang left the lakeside to find a suitable place for their duel.

After searching for a while, Zhou Chun quickly selected a place.

It was a forest about four or five hundred miles away from the lake, and a small river flowed into the lake nearby.

This kind of place should be the most likely place for the two-headed black dragon to relax its vigilance.

The forest area also made it convenient for the Wood Spirit and Wood Mulberry to conceal Zhou Chun's movements.

After selecting the location, and once Zhou Chun had concealed himself, Master Ziyang urged the demonic corpse to head to the lake to begin fishing for the dragon.

The demonic corpse swam downstream along the stream and soon reached the lake, where it then rampaged its way into the depths of the lake.

Along the way, many aquatic monsters were startled by the demonic corpse, either fleeing in panic or launching fierce attacks.

The demonic corpse naturally wouldn't tolerate these monsters; any monster that dared to attack it would be ruthlessly torn to pieces on the spot!

This lake is inhabited by a five-tiered black dragon with two heads. Unless it is one of its subordinate demonic beasts, no other four-tiered demonic beast would dare to stay here.

Therefore, when the demonic corpse encounters a monster that threatens it, it will be able to alert the two-headed black dragon.

That's the truth.

After rampaging for half a day, the demonic corpse arrived near the underwater spiritual vein deep within the lake, where it began to fight a mid-grade fourth-tier fish demon that had come after hearing the news.

This mid-grade fourth-tier fish demon was quite powerful; the demonic corpse had difficulty killing it, but it was not afraid of the fish demon's attacks at all.

Their fierce battle near the underwater spiritual veins caused quite a stir.

Later, seeing that the fish demon was unable to subdue the demon corpse, two more fourth-tier low-grade demon beasts arrived: a crab demon and a turtle demon.

With the three demons joining forces, the demonic corpse was no match for them.

However, Master Ziyang still tried his best to manipulate the demonic corpse to attack the underwater spiritual veins below, causing a greater commotion.

Finally, as a huge black shadow appeared, the demonic corpse was sucked into a dragon claw without any resistance.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with the Dragon Transformation Sect? Why have you come here to disturb my cultivation!"

Deep in the lake, the two-headed black dragon seized the demon corpse with one claw and immediately began to speak in human language, questioning the divided soul of the Purple Sun Immortal within the demon corpse.

Faced with the questioning, Master Ziyang's divided soul did not answer but instead asked, "Fellow Daoist Heiming has been away from the Dragon Transformation Sect for many years. Don't you want to know what the Dragon Transformation Sect is like now? Don't you want to rebuild your own Dragon Transformation Sect?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the two-headed black dragon suddenly flew into a rage and roared, "Shut up! I am Hei Yuan, and Hei Ming is long dead! Since you refuse to answer my questions, then die!"

Before he could finish speaking, he crushed the demonic corpse in his claws.
