Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 2322 - 810: Enlightening the Foolish Child, End of Divinity Transformation
In the absence of two Sixth Rank presences, they gained no advantage in restarting the conflict.
Sure enough, in the years that followed, the Multi-Winged Clan greatly intensified their hunt for Human Clan Cultivators entering the Doran Prairie, but showed no intention of organizing an invasion.
This relieved some cultivators who feared the rekindling of a racial war, allowing life to return to normal.
After seven years passed in this manner, Fushan Monarch finally lived up to expectations and successfully advanced to a Fifth Rank Middle Grade Demon King.
"It wasn’t easy, Stone, you finally broke through!"
On Kunwu Mountain, Zhou Chun gazed fondly at his cherished pet who had returned as a Fifth Rank Middle Grade Demon King, full of emotion.
Among the five Demon King Spirit Pets, Fushan Monarch was among the first to become a Fifth Rank Demon King.
Yet, advancing from a Fifth Rank Lower Grade Demon King to a Fifth Rank Middle Grade Demon King still took him over eight hundred years.
It was truly not easy!
After hearing Zhou Chun’s words, Fushan Monarch looked at him gratefully and said, "Stone could achieve today solely because of the master’s cultivation. Stone can never repay the master’s great kindness!"
These words were indeed true.
He was originally a humble Rock Earth Turtle, with perhaps the weakest foundation among the five Demon King Spirit Pets, relying on following Zhou Chun to defy the heavens and change his fate.
Because of this, he remained unwaveringly loyal to Zhou Chun, enduring any hardship.
To this day, both Fushan Monarch and Silver Dragon Monarch know very well that without following Zhou Chun, they might never have been able to condense a Demon Core, let alone reach where they are today.
In the words of cultivators, Zhou Chun was their greatest opportunity, and by staying close to Zhou Chun, opportunities would naturally follow, and their path would be smooth.
"With our thousand-year-old friendship, there is no need to say such things!"
Zhou Chun shook his head slightly, unconcerned with such statements.
He quickly waved his hand, summoning a Storage Pouch from his private collection, and threw it to Fushan Monarch.
"These are the remains and a large amount of earth attribute spirit materials left behind after Zhongxuan Demon King’s incarnation crumbled. You can use them to refine your stone mountain and enhance your strength."
Upon hearing this, Fushan Monarch immediately accepted the Storage Pouch and responded seriously, "Stone understands and will not disappoint the master again!"
"Everything is in the past, Zhongxuan Demon King is also dead, so you need not blame yourself for anything."
Zhou Chun gazed into his eyes and spoke gently, not wanting any change in this companion because of the events.
"Stone understands."
Fushan Monarch nodded slightly and, after responding, took the Storage Pouch and retreated.
The Spirit Eye Stone that he brought back, Zhou Chun did not reclaim, allowing him to continue using it.
A few more years passed, and a joyful event occurred in the Zhou Family.
A junior from the Zhou Family, Zhou Xuanjing, who recently entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, was recognized for his exceptional talent in alchemy and accepted as a registered disciple by Alchemy Grandmaster Luo Qingni.
According to Luo Qingni, in front of Zhou Chun, Zhou Xuanjing’s talent in alchemy was exceptional, not much inferior to her own in the past. If his cultivation level can keep up in the future, he might become an Alchemy Grandmaster!
This delighted Zhou Chun greatly, bringing him immense joy.
His apprentice-grandson Zhou Yufu had successfully established his Purple Mansion and smoothly became an Array Master, and in the future, if he succeeds in Core Formation, he has the potential to challenge the title of Array Grandmaster.
Now, with the emergence of Zhou Xuanjing, who showed exceptional talent in alchemy, Zhou Family’s future leader in the path of alchemy had also appeared.
The emergence of these talented clan members perfectly demonstrated that the Zhou Family was now thriving in fortune and entering a phase of talent explosion.
But not long after his excitement, news came from outside that plunged Zhou Chun into silence once again.
The news was about Zhou Xinyuan, who, after dueling thirty-three times with Golden Core Stage Sword Cultivators proficient in the Sword Control Technique, only won four times and tied three times, suffering a significant blow to his self-confidence.
But perhaps due to his deep obsession with Sword Dao, he now even hid his cultivation level to the Purple Mansion Phase, changing his identity to seek out those Purple Mansion Phase Sword Cultivators to duel, seemingly trying to regain his confidence.
This kind of behavior, like covering one’s ears while stealing a bell, left Zhou Chun with a sense of disappointment and helplessness.
After pondering alone for a long time, he summoned Zhou Yuanxin, who managed the Zhou Family’s affairs, and said, "Keep an eye on the juniors in the family and those in the affiliated powers. If any have impressive talent in Sword Dao, report to me."
Though Zhou Yuanxin did not understand his intent after hearing this, he respectfully replied immediately, "Yes, this junior will diligently watch for this matter."
Then he tactfully withdrew.
In just three years, Zhou Yuanxin brought back a Qi Training Late Stage cultivator with impressive talent in Sword Dao.
This individual hailed from an affiliated family of the Zhou Family, where only three Foundation Establishment cultivators existed. Though he possessed remarkable talent in Sword Dao and formidable combat power, due to having a lower-grade Spirit Root Aptitude, he was nearing fifty years of age and still had not established a Foundation.
Because Zhou Chun only mentioned looking for juniors with good talent in Sword Dao, and considering this individual had shown the most outstanding performance in numerous evaluations, Zhou Yuanxin took it upon himself to give him a chance and brought him back to the Zhou Family.
Once he brought this individual before Zhou Chun, the middle-aged man, only just learning the truth, was full of excitement and reverence as he knelt and kowtowed deeply to Zhou Chun, saying, "Junior Yang Jian, greets Chunjun True Person, senior!"
Zhou Chun merely cast a casual glance at this middle-aged man named Yang Jian and tossed out a Jade Slip, saying, "Take this sword technique to cultivate and comprehend. If you achieve something within three years, the Zhou Family will fully support your Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion creation!"
