Chapter 1103: Chapter 486: Zhou Chun’s Bold Idea [First Update, Please Subscribe]

Zhou Zhengyong successfully opened his Purple Mansion; this was undoubtedly a joyous occasion for the entire Zhou Family.

The arrival of this joyous event also dispelled the sorrowful atmosphere brought by Zhou Jiarui’s passing a little over a year ago.

He thus became the fifth Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator of the main Zhou Family and the second of the "Zheng" generation to reach the Purple Mansion Phase.

"I still feel like I’m dreaming even now!"

"I never imagined that one day I too would successfully open my Purple Mansion!"

"It’s truly unthinkable, so surreal!"

In Zhou Chun’s cave dwelling, Zhou Zhengyong, who came to visit after emerging from seclusion, bore an expression of disbelief throughout.

Although he had successfully opened his Purple Mansion, he himself seemed to be the person who least dared to believe it was true!

This situation was probably akin to a begging pauper being suddenly informed that he was the lost crown prince, then being welcomed into the imperial palace, donning the dragon robe, sitting on the dragon throne, and receiving the ministers’ congratulations on the new emperor’s enthronement.

The surprise was simply too great!!!

Seeing this, Zhou Chun simply smiled and said, "There’s nothing so unimaginable, I’ve always said that the odds of Brother Yong opening his Purple Mansion weren’t low, it was just that you never believed it yourself!"

Zhou Chun himself had failed once during his Foundation Establishment.

Yet, his Purple Mansion opening was achieved in one go, quite easily at that, and the Spiritual Object used to assist, the Snow Soul Pill, was even somewhat inferior in medicinal effect to the Purple Profound Pill and Mysterious Heart Purple Return Pill.

Thus, in his view, many cultivators fail to open their Purple Mansion due to being constrained by resources, as they struggle to purchase the Spiritual Objects to aid in opening their Purple Mansion.

Without these Spiritual Objects to assist, it’s very difficult to even awaken the soul, so the success rate naturally wouldn’t be higher than that of Qi Refinement cultivators not taking any Spiritual Objects and attempting Foundation Establishment.

Furthermore, when opening the Purple Mansion, the cultivator’s own willpower, faith, and luck are also very important.

Zhou Zhengyong, after many years of following the Zhou Family in battles from the south to the north and facing life-and-death crises, had his mentality and will tempered to no less than any other cultivator.

Also, during this Purple Mansion establishment, he had no psychological burdens, and it wouldn’t matter even if he failed.

Plus, his luck had always been fairly good.

So him ultimately succeeding in opening his Purple Mansion wasn’t particularly unexpected.

After talking casually with Zhou Zhengyong and helping him stabilize his mood, Zhou Chun also announced on the spot that he would host a Purple Mansion celebration for him, so that all members of the Zhou Family could also share in the happiness.

Zhou Zhengyong didn’t refuse this either.

Even for a Golden Core lineage, gaining a new Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator meant an increase in their foundation.

Hosting a Purple Mansion celebration to unite peoples’ hearts was indeed necessary.

However, due to special circumstances, the celebration was not an extravagant affair; it was essentially attended only by cultivators of the main Zhou Family and some Loose Cultivators who were invited to witness the ceremony, while from the family powers, only the Su Family and a group of non-Green Lotus Temple governed cultivator families were invited to send representatives.

Despite this, the festive atmosphere of the celebration still brought smiles long absent from the Zhou clanspeople, who had been living with fear during the war, and they started celebrating with song and dance.

"Taoist Friend Luo, what do you think of the youths of my Zhou Family? How do they compare to those from the Golden Core families of the Great Zhou Kingdom?"

During the banquet, perhaps feeling quite cheerful, Zhou Chun drank a bit more Spiritual Wine and, while some younger clan members were performing dueling demonstrations, he couldn’t help but turn to Luo Qingni, who was invited as a guest, with a smile to ask for her opinion.

And after he spoke, Lin Hongyu, Zhou Mingde, and the rest of the Zhou Family’s senior members seated at the head of the table also looked at Luo Qingni with curiosity, eager to hear the thoughts of this high-level cultivator from the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Objectively speaking, the current Zhou Family was already not weaker than the Zhou Family during the Sanjue Sect era, even without Zhou Chun’s Core Formation.

In fact, the Zhou Family during the late era of the Sanjue Sect wasn’t as strong as the current one.

Looking across all the Golden Core families in Jingguo Country, few could surpass the Zhou Family in terms of the number of Purple Mansion Phase and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

So, when they saw the many elite members of their own family gather together at the celebration today, the seniors seated there felt quite satisfied and proud.

This was all the result of their collective hard work and struggle.

Facing the expectant gaze of the Zhou Family, Luo Qingni, however, frowned.

Originally, she didn’t want to attend the celebration; it was only after Zhou Chun’s repeated invitations that she agreed to come.

But even so, she only intended to make an appearance, have a few cups of tea, and that would be it.

She didn’t expect Zhou Chun, whom she always remembered as being composed, to suddenly ask her this question.

If she didn’t answer now, it would be akin to not giving Zhou Chun face, causing him to lose face in public, which would only spoil the relationship between the two.

Yet if she answered, she had no idea how to respond.

After pondering for a while, she then slowly shook her head and said, "Qingni doesn’t know much about the Zhou Family’s situation, but judging from the cultivation levels and ages of these younger members, they are indeed quite good, comparable to the ordinary Golden Core families of the Great Zhou Kingdom!"

"Only comparable to the ordinary Golden Core families of the Great Zhou Kingdom?"

Zhou Mingde murmured to himself, seemingly dissatisfied with Luo Qingni’s response.

He had also witnessed the heyday of the Zhou Family, and believed that the current generation, excluding the Golden Core cultivators above, was almost no worse than the Zhou Family at its peak in terms of the younger generation.
