Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang, Zhou Sheng, and the three of them gained both face and stature at the commendation meeting in the Zhou family's ancestral hall.

Zhou Yang not only highly praised the three in front of the entire clan, and called on all the clan to learn from the three, but also informed everyone of his in-kind reward plan for the three.

This kind of real fame and fortune really made all the Zhou family members envy and yearn for it.

The three of Zhou Ronghua, many cultivators here today know that, in the past, these three were not bad in the Zhou family, but there were also a lot of people who were better than them.

But now the three of them are just following the ancestors of the family to the Immortal Cultivation World of Floating Cloud Continent. After fighting a battle, they returned to their hometown and won such honors and awards. How can they not be envied by the monks who are close to their generation envy.

Many younger Zhou family disciples made up their minds on the spot, and after the meeting was over, they went to beg the patriarch to follow their ancestors to serve in the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Floating Cloud Continent.

Even some senior cultivators of the Zhou family are secretly thinking about whether they should take the risk and go out for a fight, so as to create a bright future for future generations.

Zhou Yang saw all this in his eyes, and was extremely satisfied in his heart, knowing that his purpose of doing this had been initially achieved.

It has always been his goal to get the Zhou family out of the boundless sand sea, but this immigration strategy must follow the principle of voluntariness and cannot be forced.

The outside world is wonderful, and the outside world is dangerous.

From Zhou Yang's point of view, the Zhou family cultivator who wants to get out of the boundless sand sea cultivation world must first have the determination to face death.

Due to geographical constraints, it is impossible for him to bring all the Zhou family cultivators to immigrate to the Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm, so with the limited number of places, every cultivator who goes out must be an elite in the family.

Only when these elite monks gather together can they quickly and efficiently rebuild a prosperous Zhou family in the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation World.

"Now my Zhou family has a foundation in the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation Realm. In the future, the outstanding clansmen in the family can take the initiative to apply to the family to go to the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation Realm for training and stationing. The Floating Cloud Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm is very prosperous. It is very dangerous, so I hope that when you apply to the family, it is best to consider whether you are ready to sacrifice yourself for the family's great cause, and then make a decision after thinking about it!"

Zhou Yang looked at the clansmen who showed yearning and hope, waved his hand, and said in a low tone: "Now, the clansmen who have cultivated below the foundation-building stage can leave first, and the clansmen who have cultivated in the foundation-building stage and Zifu stage can leave first. Stay, Patriarch, I still have something important to announce to you!"

Hearing what he said, the cultivators of the Zhou family in the Qi training period, although they were extremely curious about what the big event was in his mouth, none of them dared to disobey the order of his family ancestor, and all of them immediately retired respectfully and respectfully. go down.

After all these people left, Zhou Yang turned his attention to Zhou Guangxiang, who had not said a word today, shook his head slightly and said, "It's up to you to speak for yourself."

"My nephew takes orders."

Zhou Guangxiang replied in a low voice, then glanced at the Zhou family cultivators who looked at him with surprise, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "I am guilty, as the head of the Zhou family, I know the law and break the law, and use the family The right given to me to use power for personal gain, for..."

There was silence all over the place, only Zhou Guangxiang's words full of regret echoed.

Regarding Zhou Shengyu being sent away, for the sake of the stability of the clan, Zhou Guangxiang previously said to other monks in the clan that he was sent to Zhou Yang and his wife for further study.

Because he is the patriarch, and being able to follow Zhou Yang, a family ancestor who cultivated at the Jindan stage, is indeed a good thing, but the other Zhou family cultivators have no doubts.

Hearing his words of repentance at this time, all the Zhou family cultivators were immediately stunned.

Zhou Guangxiang didn't look at the stunned Zhou family members, but continued to talk to himself: "Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have failed will be punished. This is clearly written in the rules of my Zhou family. Although I am a Zhou The head of the family can't be exempted from this!"

"According to the rules of the clan, those who use power for personal gain can be punished at the highest with abolition of their cultivation base and expulsion from the family. Zhou Guangxiang, as the head of the clan, took the lead in using power for personal gain. It is not enough to convince the public without heavy punishment!"

"Therefore, the sinner Zhou Guangxiang hereby implores the elder Taishang to deprive me of the position of the patriarch and impose a hundred years of exile to the outside world as an example!"

At the end of the day, the others had already knelt down in front of the ancestral hall where the ancestral spirit tablets were stored in the Zhou family ancestral ancestral hall, and kowtowed deeply to the ground as a sign to plead guilty.

Until this time, other people finally recovered from this shock.

"Brother, brother, you..."

Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang are a compatriot of the same mother, and the two brothers and sisters have depended on each other for hundreds of years. The monks present were the most difficult to accept this scene.

She looked at her brother who was kneeling on the ground, her face changed greatly and she wanted to say something.

But before she could finish her words, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhou Yang.

She knelt on the ground with a "poof", and faced Zhou Yang with a heavy kowtow and begged: "Ninth uncle, ninth uncle, please be kind, brother, even if he is wrong, he doesn't need such a heavy punishment! Please read it in his past. For the credit and hard work of the family, please forgive him once, niece begs you!"

"Sister, get up, don't be rude to the ninth uncle, all of this is my own fault, I can't blame anyone, no need to say more!"

Zhou Guangxiang shouted to stop his sister's behavior in a deep voice. After kowtowing three times in a row at the ancestral hall, he raised his head and turned around to face Zhou Yang, waiting for Zhou Yang to say the final judgment.

Zhou Yang didn't look at him, but looked at the other Zhou family members, and said in a cold voice, "I've seen it all, I've heard it all, Zhou Guangxiang, as the patriarch, made a mistake, and also needs to be Being punished by the clan rules, if someone dares to use their status and position to do something that violates the clan rules in the future, you need to think about whether they can escape the clan rules and punishments!"

The Zhou family cultivators who were present heard the words and immediately fell to their knees in fright, shouting, "I can't wait!"

"Dare to dare, it's not as simple as saying it, but it depends on the actual action!"

"Guangxiang was brought up by me, even brought up by me. In the past few hundred years, I have been proud of him many times, but you can see it now."

"I hope you can take him as a lesson, and read the clan rules a few times after you go back. I don't want to see similar things in the future, otherwise I can tolerate you, and the clan rules can't tolerate you either!"

After Zhou Yang said these words coldly, he waved his hand and took the patriarch token from Zhou Guangxiang.

"Now, let's witness together, as the Supreme Elder of the Zhou family, I will deprive Zhou Guangxiang of the position of the Zhou family head and sentence him to be exiled to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent for a hundred years!"

"Zhou Guangxiang is guilty." Zhou Guangxiang bowed his hands to show no objection.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but continue: "The family can't be without a patriarch for a day. Since Zhou Guangxiang is no longer the patriarch, he will re-select a patriarch among you according to the rules of the family. Now you can speak freely and talk about what you have in mind. A suitable candidate, and then I will personally test the school to determine whether it is suitable to be the head of the Zhou family."

Whoa!

Hearing Zhou Yang's words, the Zhou family cultivators in the ancestral hall suddenly changed their expressions.

The last time the Zhou family changed their patriarch was more than 200 years ago. More than 90% of the Zhou family cultivators here were not born at that time.

From the moment they were born, Zhou Guangxiang has been the patriarch of the Zhou family, and with the lifespan of the cultivators of the Zifu period, as long as they have not succeeded in opening up the Zifu, most of them are afraid that they will be more advanced than Zhou Guangxiang.

Therefore, the position of the patriarch, many Zhou family cultivators dare not even think about it, and have no such thoughts at all.

But now, the position of the patriarch is vacant, and after listening to Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, he has to choose a new patriarch from among their foundation-building cultivators. How can this not make them excited.

The Zhou family is now the overlord of the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World. Once they become the patriarch of the Zhou family, even if they are still in the foundation-building stage, they will surpass all the purple-dwelling cultivators outside the Zhou family in terms of identity. existence above all people.

Moreover, once he became the patriarch of the Zhou family, he would have a great priority in the exchange of the family's cultivation resources in the future. Treasures like [Purple Heart Chalcedony], the patriarch must be easier to exchange than other foundation-building cultivators.

This is a good thing that has both face and inside, who wouldn't want it?

"The old ancestor, the younger generation is not talented, and is willing to recommend himself to accept the examination school of the old ancestor."

Soon a Zhou family cultivator summoned the courage to stand up, bowed to Zhou Yang with a look of anticipation on his face, and gave him a spontaneous recommendation.

This person's cultivation base is not weak, and he has the cultivation base of the seventh floor.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately moved his lips slightly, and the sound transmission test picked him up.

It can be clearly seen that after hearing the exam questions asked by Zhou Yang Chuanyin, the Zhou family cultivator's complexion suddenly changed drastically, hesitantly pouting, but he couldn't answer.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Yang shook his head slightly and said, "Go back, you are not suitable."

The man's face turned pale immediately, and then he bowed his hands in shame and said, "The junior is incompetent, and the ancestors are disappointed." After speaking, he retreated.

Since this person, several people have been either recommended by others or self-recommended, and they have all come forward in turn to accept Zhou Yang's examination.

It's just that there are only a few of these people who can pass Zhou Yang's one-question exam, but none of them can pass three questions in a row.

"Tongxuan, you should try it too."

In the crowd, Zhou Tongxuan, who was looking at a Zhou family cultivator who stepped forward to accept Zhou Yang's assessment, was dazed with envy in his eyes, and suddenly heard someone calling him.

He looked back and saw his aunt Zhou Guangxiang was looking at him, her eyes full of encouragement.

"I, can I? Father, he..."

He pursed his lips in embarrassment, and didn't say anything after that, but he knew that his aunt would definitely understand what he wanted to say.

Sure enough, when Zhou Guangxiang heard his words, he immediately shook his head and reminded him: "You underestimate Jiu Shu's mind too much, your father is your father, you are you, since he didn't say you can't participate in the competition to take office Patriarch, it means that you can acquiesce, but if you dare not stand up, he will be completely disappointed in you!"

"My nephew understands. Thank you aunt for your suggestion. If it weren't for you, auntie, my nephew would have made a big mistake again!"

Zhou Tongxuan's eyes flashed suddenly, he nodded gratefully to Zhou Guangxiang, and then he gathered up his courage and stood up.

When he took this step, he clearly felt the strange eyes of other clansmen looking at him.

He was very aware of the thoughts of those clansmen, but when he took this step, he was already mentally prepared.

What's more, after taking this step, although he didn't look back, he also clearly felt that his father Zhou Guangxiang's eyes fell on him, and the meaning of those eyes was completely different from that of other clansmen.

It was a look full of hope and expectation, a father's most sincere expectation for his son.

Zhou Yang's eyes also changed slightly.

Although he had already made plans in his heart to let Zhou Tongxuan take over the position of the patriarch, he had never told anyone about this matter except for Xiao Ying, the Taoist companion.

Zhou Guangxiang was right just now, if Zhou Tongxuan didn't even dare to stand up today, Zhou Yang would be completely disappointed with him.

Zhou Yang doesn't care how strong his ability is, because with the current strength of the Zhou family, even if the patriarch is mediocre, it will not have much impact on the family.

But Zhou Yang didn't want to be the patriarch of the Zhou family, and he didn't even take responsibility at all.

Zhou Guangxiang lost the position of the patriarch for Zhou Tongxuan's personal gain. Even if Zhou Tongxuan didn't know about it in advance, or even opposed it himself, as a son of man, he should stand up at this time, prove himself with practical actions, and tell others that he is not. The kind of coward who only hides behind his parents and enjoys the shadow of his parents, incompetent!

Now that Zhou Tongxuan has stood up, Zhou Yang's heart is also relieved, and there is no more embarrassment.

Immediately, he also started Zhou Tongxuan in the Transsion exam, but the exam questions were replaced with some simple and easy-to-understand questions.

Zhou Tongxuan is not an idiot. From the simple question that Zhou Yang asked, he immediately grasped the profound meaning, and immediately looked at Zhou Yang with surprise and joy, his eyes full of excitement.

"Giving you this opportunity is for the face of your father and your aunt, not how capable you are. You must be aware of this."

"Of course, if you can really make some achievements and let the ancestors and other clansmen truly recognize your ability, it will be even better."

"If there is such a day, your father's sacrifice for you will not really be in vain!"

Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Tongxuan who looked excited, and said these words that were a little bit cold, and then he didn't look at Zhou Tongxuan's frozen face, and Shen Sheng announced the result.

Many Zhou family cultivators present were dissatisfied with the result of Zhou Tongxuan being elected as the sixth-generation patriarch of the Zhou family.

They are not fools, how can such obvious insider not be seen.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and no one dares to object to the decision of Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family.

Even Zhou Guangxiang, the five-generation patriarch who had been the head of the Zhou family for more than 200 years, was dismissed by Zhou Yang, the family patriarch.

Originally, the position of this patriarch was appointed by the previous patriarch or the highest authority in the family. Zhou Yang was very kind to give them a chance before.

If anyone can't figure this out, it's really helpless.

Next, Zhou Yang sent someone to send an order to call back the scattered Zhou family qi cultivators back to the ancestral hall. Then, in front of these cultivators, he handed over the token representing the patriarch to Zhou Tongxuan. The handover of the patriarchal position.

He and the others just went out for a trip, and the family patriarch changed. Those cultivators in the Qi training period were naturally confused.

But seeing those family foundation cultivators and Zifu cultivators have no objection, of course none of these qi-training cultivators dared to say anything.

Who should be the patriarch anyway?

As long as their welfare and offerings are not cut and their actual interests are not affected, whether the patriarch is Zhou Guangxiang or Zhou Tongxuan is really not a problem for the cultivators at the bottom of the family.

"Ninth Uncle's great kindness and great virtue, a nephew is hard to repay, a hundred deaths are hard to repay!"

In the cave, Zhou Guangxiang knelt down in front of Zhou Yang and kowtowed deeply, tears on his face, tears of gratitude.

He did not expect that after Zhou Yang deprived him of his patriarch position, he would use this method to help him achieve his wish.

This kind of ups and downs is the fact that he has been practicing for hundreds of years and has been in charge of the Zhou family for hundreds of years. It is difficult for him to maintain his mood, and he couldn't help shedding tears of gratitude.

"You, you, if you knew today, why did you have to do it in the first place!"

"When you told me that you wanted Tongxuan to succeed you as the patriarch, I didn't object. Why didn't you want to ask my opinion and do such a stupid thing by yourself?"

"You are so disappointing to me!"

Zhou Yang looked at his nephew who was crying bitterly in front of him with a look of hatred for iron and steel.

The so-called deep love, the responsibility of the cut.

How much he valued Zhou Guangxiang in the past, how disappointed and angry he was at this time.

In the face of his scolding, Zhou Guangxiang also did not dare to answer with a face full of shame, but lowered his head deeply and silently accepted it.

There's no arguing that he did something wrong.

It's fine to say that he is obsessed, or that he thinks too much, things have already happened, and the punishment has already been made.

After scolding for a while, Zhou Yang's anger disappeared a lot, and he couldn't help looking at him and waved his hand: "Okay, things have already happened, it's useless to scold you again, then you will explain clearly to your son. What the patriarch should do, just follow me to the Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation Realm, if you can successfully form an elixir, you will have the opportunity to return to the family to wash away the stains in the future, otherwise you will be like this in your life!"

"My nephew understands, thank you Jiu Shu for the grace!"

Zhou Guangxiang kowtowed three more times to thank him, and then he left the cave to concentrate on teaching his son Zhou Tongxuan how to be the patriarch.

In the next month, Zhou Yang conducted some private interviews with the late foundation-building cultivators in the Zhou family to determine who could vigorously support them and help them open up the Purple Mansion.

In this way, after a lot of conversations and exams, he finally selected three Zhou Family Foundation Establishment cultivators as support objects.

The three Zhou family foundation building cultivators are Zhou Rongfei, Zhou Rongzhen, and Zhou Shengfan. Among them, Zhou Rongfei and Zhou Rongzhen are on the ninth floor of the foundation building and can try to open up the Purple Mansion at any time. Zhou Shengfan also has the eighth floor of the foundation building, which is nine floors away from the foundation building. Not far.

For Zhou Rongfei and Zhou Rongzhen, the ninth-level foundation-building cultivators, Zhou Yang directly emptied their family contribution points, and then asked them to lend a copy of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] to help them open up the Purple Mansion.

As for Zhou Rongfei, the eighth-layer foundation-building cultivator, Zhou Yang used "Dry Yang Xianguang" to help him cleanse the impurity erysipelas in his body, and then gave him a spiritual pill to help him advance to the ninth-layer foundation-building, and also gave him a copy [Purple Heart Chalcedony], to help him open up the Purple Mansion in the future.

After distributing three copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] in this way, Zhou Yang took out another two copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] and deposited them in the Zhou family's bloodline treasure house, putting them together with the original one. Along the way, he took millions of low-grade spirit stones and a dozen high-grade spirit stones from the family treasure house and put them in the bag for later use.

As for the other ten copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony], Zhou Yang didn't plan to put it in the family now, and he didn't even tell anyone the news.

This kind of thing is not very precious to him, but it is very difficult to get so much at once.

If the cultivators in the family know that there are so many [Purple Heart Chalcedony] in the family, maybe someone will make some crooked ideas.

It would be better not to say so and just set a standard for them.

The exchange rate for [Purple Heart Chalcedony] set by Zhou Yang is very simple. Under normal circumstances, a Foundation Establishment cultivator needs 200,000 Clan Contribution Points to exchange it.

But if you are a high-grade Linggen cultivator, or someone like Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang, Zhou Sheng, and the other three who are on the "Heroic List" of the family, they can exchange for a [Purple Heart Jade] through a loan as long as they pay half of the family contribution points. marrow】. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

This standard is the same as that of the top sects of Xuanyang Xianzong, which means that all Zhou family cultivators enjoy the treatment of top sect disciples.

Zhou Yang was able to do this, asking himself to be worthy of anyone.

According to this standard, the Zhou family now only has Zhou Tongxuan who received a large number of family contribution points from Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang brothers and sisters, and has the ability to exchange the full amount for a copy of [Purple Heart Chalcedony].

But even the brothers and sisters Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang donated most of their family contribution points to him, because he had used a copy of the family's [Purple Heart Chalcedony] last time, so he was adding this share of [Purple Heart Chalcedony]. After he needs to contribute points, in the next hundred years, he will not be able to collect enough points to exchange for the third [Purple Heart Chalcedony].

It takes a long time for these family cultivators to open up the Purple Mansion, and even if the Purple Mansion is successful, it will still take a lot of time to cultivate magical powers and stabilize the realm.

Therefore, Zhou Yang did not stay in the family to wait for the result, but just waited for Zhou Guangxiang for three months. After he finished his son's class, he took Zhou Guangxiang, Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang and other seven Zhou family cultivators back to Liuyun Continent. Immortal world.
