Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 2320 - 809: Zhongxuan’s Lost Treasure

Time slowly passed, and soon another thirteen years had gone by.

On this day, thunderclouds gathered in the sky above the Kunwu Mountain Range, descending a terrifying Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

It turned out that Zhou Zhiying’s Heavenly Wind Thunder Hawk had finally mustered the courage to undergo the tribulation after accumulating enough strength.

Zhou Chun had promised that as long as it gave birth to offspring carrying the Golden Crowned Black Roc bloodline, he would support its tribulation.

This time he fulfilled his promise by allowing it to refine two Peerless Dharma Treasures and three High-Grade Magical Treasures, even granting it a drop of Eternal Spirit Milk.

However, the performance of this Heavenly Wind Thunder Hawk was much worse than that of the Golden Winged Tiger back then.

Perhaps the physical body of avian demon beasts inherently was weaker than that of beast-type demon beasts, as just enduring the first round of nine Tribulation Thunders caused its wings to break, almost unable to withstand.

Fortunately, it managed to pass the first round of Tribulation Thunder without using any treasures, counting as a successful tribulation, enough to elevate its bloodline.

In the subsequent two rounds of Tribulation Thunder, it relied on the treasures bestowed by Zhou Chun to forcibly overcome, successfully advancing to a Fifth Rank Demon King.

But its future might just stop here.

Just like the Yishan Monarch, whose cultivation progress remains slow to this day, unless there’s a great opportunity sent by heaven, the Heavenly Wind Thunder Hawk’s apex is merely relying on accumulation over time to advance to a Fifth Rank Middle Grade Demon King, almost impossible to reach Fifth Rank High-Grade.

The Demon Clan values bloodline inheritance above all, and even if other demon beasts can produce bloodline mutations through destiny and creation, forcibly breaking through to higher realms, the road becomes increasingly harder going forward.

Nonetheless, with another Fifth Rank Demon King added to the Zhou Family, the news caused many forces to take notice.

It must be known that the Zhou Family has been quite active in recent years.

In a short span of just over a hundred years, four Golden Core Stage cultivators emerged, namely Wang Yan, Zhou Yuanshan, Zhou Baichuan, and Zhou Zhiying.

Except for Zhou Zhiying, who succeeded in Core Formation by relying on her grandfather Zhou Xinyan’s legacy and the consumption of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, the other three successfully formed their cores using common Nascent Soul Spirit Material.

Thus, although Zhou Xinyan and Zhou Zhiqian, two Golden Core Stage cultivators, successively sat and transformed, the Zhou Family still had eight Golden Core Stage cultivators.

Moreover, among the remaining Golden Core Stage cultivators, the oldest, Wu Yuzhu, is still under eight hundred years old.

With such successive emergence of Golden Core Stage cultivators and a new Fifth Rank Demon King, the Zhou Family’s rise has made many forces envious, covetous, and even fearful.

Now, no one knows what kind of colossal entity the Zhou Family will develop into in the future, especially given Zhou Chun, a "Divine Transformation Talent" power, is only around a mere one thousand two to three hundred years old, with half his lifespan ahead.

Even if he fails to break through Divine Transformation in the future, with the legacy he leaves behind, the Zhou Family will absolutely not decline!

On this day, Zhou Chun summoned his son Zhou Xinyuan, who had long advanced to the Golden Core Middle Stage, to his abode.

He gazed at his son, whose features somewhat resembled his, and slowly spoke: "Ever since your mother passed away, you’ve secluded yourself and practiced swordsmanship for years, and I haven’t interfered with you much, following your preferences."

At this point, Zhou Chun deeply stared into his son’s eyes and spoke in a low voice: "Today, I want to ask you one thing, can’t you truly give up the Sword Dao and concentrate on cultivation?"

Hearing this question, Zhou Xinyuan’s expression changed and he couldn’t help but look up to meet his father’s gaze and ask: "Why do you say that, Father? I haven’t neglected cultivation because of sword practice, I’ve just spent my free time practicing swordsmanship after daily meditation, haven’t you always supported me doing so?"

"Is this your answer?"

Zhou Chun spoke calmly without showing any emotion.

Zhou Xinyuan hesitated slightly but still gently nodded.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately waved his hand and said: "Since that’s the case, leave the family and seek out those Sword Cultivators to compete."

After speaking, he looked at his son with a meaningful gaze and said: "The Sword Dao is not something achieved by secluding oneself in hard practice. Since you love the Sword Dao so much, use your sword to temper yourself. Otherwise, with your talent, the barrier of the Golden Core Late Stage realm will hinder you for many years!"

However, Zhou Xinyuan did not think much at this moment, but felt excited by these words.

In fact, Zhou Xinyuan had thought about this before and had proposed it, but Su Yuzhen had always vetoed it.

Because sword duels among Sword Cultivators are extremely dangerous, even though Zhou Xinyuan possesses numerous treasures for protection, he could still suffer severe injuries, and could be utterly demoralized if defeated.

Though he didn’t know why Zhou Chun changed his mind this time, Zhou Xinyuan quickly thanked him with a salute: "Thank you, Father, for supporting me. Rest assured, I will never disgrace your name!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun lightly chuckled and said: "Then you are mistaken, even if you lose without a single victory, your father’s name won’t be affected in the slightest!"

After saying this, he waved his hand: "Go, pursue your own path!"

"Yes, Father, I take my leave!"

Zhou Xinyuan respectfully saluted and excitedly left.

As Zhou Chun watched his departing figure, he murmured to himself: "Ah, Yuzhen, don’t blame me for doing this. The risk of life and death during Nascent Soul Formation is unpredictable. If the child doesn’t rediscover himself amidst setbacks, even if I’ve prepared a full set of Nascent Soul Spirit Items for him, his chances of overcoming the ’Heart Demon Calamity’ are slim!"
