Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming
Chapter 936 - 443: Shocked Ancestor of Su Family [Subscription Request]

Jiufeng Ridge.

After leaving the Green Lotus Temple, Zhou Chun returned to Jiufeng Ridge with utmost speed.

At that time, Lin Hongyu was still stationed at Jiufeng Ridge. Upon Zhou Chun's return, he immediately conveyed Master Qingwei's attitude.

Upon hearing Zhou Chun's report, Lin Hongyu pondered for a moment before nodding and said, "Joining the Heavenly Spirit Legion is not a problem, but there is one condition that must be agreed upon by Master Qingwei. She must not disclose my identity and origin to other Golden Core Stage Cultivators, nor allow it to be spread to the Dragon Transformation Sect!"

"You're right to be concerned, Aunt. This definitely needs to be agreed upon."

Zhou Chun slightly nodded, feeling the necessity of her request.

In fact, Lin Hongyu had not shown herself for decades, and having reached the Golden Core Stage, she could completely change or conceal her appearance so that ordinary cultivators of the same stage could not recognize her true identity.

As long as she did not actively use the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, ordinary people would never realize that she was once the Red Dragon Protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

The only thing that might expose her true identity was the Flame Dragon Ring, a Dharma Treasure.

This treasure was recorded in the top Cultivation Technique that Lin Hongyu practiced. If the Dragon Transformation Sect found out that she possessed this treasure, they might well discover her true identity.

However, this was not something ordinary Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators would know, and the spies they had planted in Jingguo Country might not be able to recognize the treasure either.

Thus, as long as the three major sects did not disclose Lin Hongyu's true identity, both Lin Hongyu and the Zhou Family could avoid a lot of attention and criticism.

Importantly, Zhou Chun was also confident in getting Master Qingwei to agree.

After all, Master Qingwei still wished for him to become her nominal Disciple and represent the Green Lotus Temple in the contention for a position among the "Heavenly Spirit's Top Seven."

After reaching an agreement with Lin Hongyu, Zhou Chun then proceeded to Tuyun Ridge to discuss with Zhou Mingde about going to the battlefield.

By this time, the news of Zhou Chun's defeat of the Corpse Fiend General, Jiang Zhong, had reached Zhou Mingde. Seeing Zhou Chun returning safely, Zhou Mingde was overjoyed and lavishly praised him.

However, as soon as he finished listening to Zhou Chun's experience at the Green Lotus Temple, Zhou Mingde's smile abruptly vanished.

Frowning, he immediately looked at Zhou Chun and said, "It's reasonable for Taoist Friend Lin to join the Heavenly Spirit Legion, as we had initially anticipated."

"But, Zhengchun, I don't quite agree with your contention for a position among the 'Heavenly Spirit's Top Seven.'"

As expected, Zhou Mingde's first reaction to this matter was opposition.

This was precisely why Zhou Chun had not immediately agreed to Master Qingwei's request.

If he had agreed then, there would be no room for regret, and even if Zhou Mingde did not say it outright, he would certainly be displeased in his heart.

Now, Zhou Mingde would only express his point of view and would not be angry with him.

After expressing his opposition, seeing Zhou Chun not speaking, Zhou Mingde looked at him earnestly and said, "You must know, Zhengchun, you have just slain Jiang Zhong, the 'Corpse Fiend General.' Once this is made public, both the Primordial Demon Legion and the Corpse Demon Sect will want to eliminate you at all costs. If you go to the battlefield now, wouldn't that just give them the opportunity?"

"Moreover, you are the Clan Leader of the Zhou Family. Even if you take Master Qingwei as your master and become her nominal Disciple, those in the 'Heavenly Spirit's Top Seven' and those desiring to compete for this position will not truly treat you as a core disciple of a major sect, and will certainly isolate and target you. At that time, Master Qingwei might not be fully willing to protect you!"

These truths, Zhou Chun, of course, understood.

But he also had his own thoughts.

He immediately looked at Zhou Mingde and said, "Supreme Elder, what you've said makes sense, and I have never trusted Master Qingwei, but if I could take Master Qingwei as my master and compete for a position among the 'Heavenly Spirit's Top Seven,' not only would it smooth my own cultivation and grant me many treasures, it could also prove to be a protective charm for our Zhou Family in the future."

"Just think, if I become one of the 'Heavenly Spirit's Top Seven,' and am instrumental in combating the invasion of the Primordial Demon Legion, earning fame across the nations, then after the war, anyone wishing to target our Zhou Family would have to take this into account."

"Moreover, if I successfully become one of the 'Heavenly Spirit's Top Seven,' perhaps in thirty to fifty years, I might have the chance to reach Core Formation. By then, wouldn't your long-held aspiration be realized, Supreme Elder?"

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde was momentarily at a loss for words.

Indeed, competing for a position among the "Heavenly Spirit's Top Seven" had both advantages and disadvantages.

He worried about the disadvantages and thus tried to persuade Zhou Chun to give up.

Now Zhou Chun used the advantages to persuade him back, and he could not outright object.

Especially Zhou Chun's last statement hit a sensitive spot.

For he knew that in a few more years, he would be celebrating his 400th birthday, and calculated by the lifespan limit of 480 years for a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, he only had seventy to eighty years left to live.

But in reality, he knew that he could only be of use to the Zhou Family for no more than fifty years.

After fifty years, even if he had not yet passed away sitting and transforming, he would certainly be in his twilight years and unable to do much for the Zhou Family.

Therefore, if he could see a Zhou Family member reach the Golden Core Stage while he was still in his prime, he would truly have no regrets in this life!

Zhou Chun clearly understood this and, hitting his weak spot with precision at this moment, made it difficult for him to utter any words of opposition.
