Chapter 536: Rectifying the Family [Two in One]

Three years after Zhou Yang returned to the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, his Jindan Celebration was held as scheduled.

Because of his instructions, this celebration was not placed in the Rhino Horn Oasis, which had been used as the base camp of the Zhou family, but in the Chihu Mountain Oasis.

When the day of celebration arrived, the number of immortal cultivators gathered on the Chihu Mountain Oasis exceeded 50,000!

Moreover, almost more than eighty percent of the middle and high-level cultivators in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm either accepted the invitation or took the initiative to come here.

The scene of hundreds of foundation building stage monks and more than a dozen Purple Mansion stage monks gathering together had not appeared in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm for more than two hundred years.

The last time there was such a grand scene was more than 200 years ago, when Cao Wenjin, a monk in the Jindan period of Huangshamen, recruited people to launch the Battle of Rhino Horn Continent.

At that time, Zhou Yang was only a minor monk in the foundation building period, and he was just the lowest pawn in that expeditionary campaign, and he was not at all inconspicuous.

And today, more than 200 years later, he has become the host of this grand event held especially for him, and has attracted everyone's attention and awe.

At this moment, Zhou Yang, who was sitting on a Dharma altar, looked at the countless monks who were sitting on the ground waiting for him to open the altar to preach, and looked at the familiar faces who were relatively close to the altar, and a huge sense of accomplishment arose.

Looking closely, many of the monks sitting under this altar today used to be existences that he needed to look up to.

Such as the white hump that rules the Baisha River Oasis Immortal Cultivation Realm, Chen Ping'an, the head of the Chen family.

Zhou Yang still remembers that when he left the Yuquan Lake Oasis for the first time to go to the Baisha River Oasis to practice, not long after entering the Baisha River Oasis, he was calculated by Chen Ping'an's son, and he was knocked away by his routine for hundreds of lower-grade spirit stones, and his small half of his wealth was gone.

By the way, what is the name of that Chen Ping'an's son?

Some of them can't be remembered!

After all, more than two hundred and seventy years have passed since that incident, and the little monk in the Qi cultivation period who had been practicing his own routine had already passed away for an unknown number of years.

Oh, by the way, that kid later married a clan sister of his own and gave birth to a son, and he and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan were forced by Chen Ping'an's pressure to choose a compromise at that time.

Zhou Yang recalled his involvement with Chen Ping'an and the White Hump Chen family, and couldn't help but smile indifferently on his face, and then he didn't care.

I really don't need to care about it, he is now a Jindan period monk, and those things about Chen Sesame and rotten grains are just laughed at when I think about them occasionally, and it is impossible to retaliate against them because of this.

What's more, since he opened up the Purple Mansion, the Zhou family and the Chen family have become bitter.

Then he turned his gaze to another person, who was also the most talked-about figure in the place besides him, Yang Wenxiong, the head of the contemporary Huangshamen.

In the previous Jindan celebration, as this person publicly expressed his willingness to rule the boundless sand sea and cultivate the immortal realm with the Zhou family, an era has come to an end, and the era that belongs to Huangshamen has ended!

From now on, all the immortal cultivators of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm know that there is only one overlord in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, and that is the Zhou family!

Yang Wenxiong, the head of the Huangsha Gate, will also be recorded in the history of the cultivation of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm because of this major event, and become a background figure to set off his Zhou Yang and the Zhou family.

Zhou Yang is not Yang Wenxiong, I don't know what he thinks at this time, but looking at his calm and calm look, it seems that he has long been mentally prepared to bear criticism.

This reminded him of the first time the two met.

It was more than two hundred years ago, when he first followed Cao Wenjin, a monk of the Huangshamen Golden Pill, to leave the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm and go to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm to buy the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill".

At that time, not long after Yang Wenxiong opened up the Purple Mansion, it was the time when he was in high spirits, and he was about to follow the ancestor of the sect, Cao Wenjin, to Liuyun Continent to travel to the immortal cultivation realm to increase his knowledge.

At that time, although Zhou Yang had already made some fame in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, in the eyes of Yang Wenxiong, he was still just a foundation building monk with some potential, and he didn't care too much.

It is estimated that Yang Wenxiong could never have imagined that a foundation cultivator of the Immortal Cultivation Family, who did not care much about him at that time, would one day be able to form a golden pill and let his family replace their Huangshamen and become the new generation overlord of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Therefore, there is nothing more wonderful than this.

You'll never know if a pawn who didn't look at you at the time will become the boss you need to look up to in the future!

In the past, the pig slaughterer, and now the marquis of ten thousand households, this kind of thing happens in any world.

Zhou Yang looked at the countless monks who were waiting for him to give a lecture under the altar today, except for Chen Ping'an and Yang Wenxiong, two old people who had a lot of intersections with him, the rest were not worthy of his attention, even other Purple Mansion monks.

For him, hundreds of years later, he is still a high-ranking Jindan monk, even a Yuan Infant monk.

And these countless monks below, those who will still survive at that time, I don't know if they can have a palm!

According to the rules of the immortal cultivation world, all the foundation building celebrations, purple mansion celebrations, Jindan celebrations, and Yuanying celebrations held because of a certain immortal cultivator's cultivation to improve the realm will be accompanied by a preaching puja.

The monks who preach on the altar will share some of their experiences when they broke through the realm, that is, those who are stingy and stingy, on this day of great joy, will also share some of their spiritual experiences to win a good reputation.

Zhou Yang had already had several similar experiences, and he was quite proficient in this kind of thing.

And he had already set the content of the sermon, and at this time he just had to preach according to what he wanted in his heart.

He is a very generous person, and he has the heart to show favor to the monks present through this sermon, and accumulate fame for the Zhou family to succeed Huangshamen as the overlord of the boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm, and the content of what he said is a lot of dry goods.

During the 10-day and 10-night preaching session, he divided it into three parts, and the day before he talked about some simple cultivation paths, so that the monks during the Qi cultivation period could understand what he was saying.

Then he spent two days talking about a slightly more advanced cultivation path, which made the hundreds of foundation building monks present listen to it in a fascination and were unaware of the passage of time.

After that, Zhou Yang spent another day talking about the profound Jindan Dao, not letting the dozen or so Purple Mansion Stage monks sit in vain for a few days.

In the following days, Zhou Yang successively explained some experiences in refining talismans, and randomly selected some monks to answer the doubts they encountered in their practice.

Because of this sermon, hundreds of monks were promoted because of this in the following years, including twenty or thirty foundation building monks and one purple mansion monk.

In addition, there were also some monks who practiced alchemy and talisman making, and through Zhou Yang's preaching, they realized certain truths, thus raising the level of alchemy and talisman making.

These monks who have gained something are naturally grateful to Zhou Yang, and they also have a good impression of the Zhou family, and out of gratitude, they took the initiative to help Zhou Yang publicize the harvest of this preaching and puja, and achieved the goal that Zhou Yang wanted.

After the preaching ceremony, as the monks from all walks of life who came because of the Zhouyang Jindan celebration dispersed, the Zhou family's family assembly was also held as scheduled.

Nearly 1,000 monks of the Zhou family gathered together to listen to the patriarch Zhou Guangxiang talk about the family's future development plans.

"This is the standard robe I ordered to be made, made of the [Flame Devouring Spider] spider silk produced by the family as the main material, with the family emblem logo of my Zhou family on it, every monk of my Zhou family in the future, when he becomes an adult, he can receive one for free, if there is damage, he needs to pay for the spirit stone to buy it from the family again, and the family monks must wear this robe uniformly in the clan in the future, and try not to take it off when walking outside the clan. ”

In the main hall, Zhou Guangxiang was carrying a fiery red robe in his hand, showing all the clansmen what this robe looked like.

I saw that this robe was woven with fiery red "Flame Devouring Spider" spider silk, interwoven with various exquisite cloud patterns, and the chest part was embroidered with a "Zhou" character in gold wire, and the "Zhou" character was surrounded by clusters of burning golden flame patterns.

The word "Zhou" of course represents the Zhou family, and the clusters of burning golden flames represent Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family with the "Qianyang Treasure Body".

As long as the monks of the Zhou family wore this kind of robe, and saw the golden flame pattern on it, they would naturally not forget whose credit it was for him to be able to wear this robe today.

"There are currently three kinds of robes, corresponding to the Qi Cultivation Cultivator, the Foundation Building Monk and the Purple Mansion Monk in the family, and the distinguishing mark is this flame pattern, the three clusters are the lowest, and the nine clusters are the highest!"

Zhou Guangxiang shook the robe in his hand, allowing all the clansmen to see clearly the nine clusters of golden flames on the robe, and explained in a majestic voice.

The Zhou family also originally had a clan costume, but the clan costume was just a set of ordinary clothes worn to participate in some ceremonies such as paying tribute to their ancestors, and it was not an illegal robe.

And like the robe that Zhou Guangxiang is holding now, it is not only beautiful in appearance, but also equivalent to a second-order mid-grade defensive magic weapon, beautiful and practical, and most importantly, free!

Naturally, no one would object to this kind of good thing of getting a second-order mid-grade defensive magic weapon for free, and all the clansmen present at the meeting passed this proposal with joy.

This can also be regarded as the first benefit issued by the Zhou family to all the clansmen after becoming the overlord of the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm.

With a good start, Zhou Guangxiang made persistent efforts and threw out a second proposal.

"Now that my Zhou family is already the overlord of the boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm, the family population and territory continue to expand, and the difficulty of management is also increasing, in order to optimize the operation and management of the family and enhance the progress consciousness of the clansmen, I discussed with the ancestor and decided to reform the family management method and the identity and status of different cultivators. ”

"In the future, all the monks of my Zhou family, those who have successfully built the foundation, will no longer be awarded the position of elder, and the original foundation building monk shall no longer be commensurate with the elder, the position of elder can only be held by the monk of the Purple Mansion, and the elder Taishang is only the ancestor, and the status of the patriarch is similar to that of the elder!"

At the same time, the original titles such as the elder of the gong transmission and the elder of law enforcement were abolished, and the title of the hall master was honorific, and the titles of uncle, uncle and nephew could also be used in private. ”

"The head of each hall must be a foundation monk. ”

"The War Hall and the Security Hall were merged and renamed the Gripen Hall, and at the same time, the Internal Affairs Hall and the General Affairs Hall were merged and renamed the General Affairs Hall, and some of the functions of the original Internal Affairs Hall were divided into the Chuangong Hall and the Baiyi Hall. ”

"The functions of the Foreign Affairs Hall will be upgraded, and in the future, the affairs related to the vassal families will be checked by the Foreign Affairs Hall first, and then handed over to the patriarch for ruling. ”

"Set up an offering hall to manage the family's worship of the monks. ”

The Zhou family now has the Jindan Stage Ancestor in charge, and there are several Purple Mansion Stage monks, and it is not unexpected to raise the requirements for the elders.

After all, even the Huangshamen, which did not have a Jindan period monk in charge, was still only a Purple Mansion period monk who was qualified to serve as an elder, and it made no sense that the Zhou family, the new overlord of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, still used a foundation building period monk as an elder, which would be too unimpressive.

As for merging and adjusting the various halls and setting up new ones, these things actually have nothing to do with most of the low-level monks of the family, and there are only so many family monks who are qualified to compete for those positions.

In fact, not every foundation building monk is willing to put aside his practice and be distracted by those chores.

Therefore, Zhou Guangxiang's reform proposal was quickly passed, and no one raised objections.

Next, he put forward a plan to establish an inspection team, and selected elite monks from the newly reformed Eagles and Lion Halls and Worship Halls to form an inspection team to inspect the sand sea arteries along the way from Rhino Horn Island to Chihu Mountain Oasis from time to time, and crack down on sand bandits and sand thieves who looted along the way.

When they captured the Red Fox Ridge Oasis, the Zhou family successfully domesticated a second-order flying demon beast, the Flying Fire Bat, and now more than two hundred years have passed, and the number of this kind of flying demon beasts domesticated and cultivated by the Zhou family has reached more than 100.

The monks of the Zhou family's patrol team can each be equipped with a flying fire bat as a substitute mount, which greatly improves the patrol efficiency and the combat effectiveness of the team.

In fact, the main purpose of this patrol team to crack down on sand bandits and sand thieves is not the main purpose, but the main purpose is to take the opportunity to exercise the combat effectiveness of the family monks and show the strength of the Zhou family to the outside world.

Zhou Guangxiang's move was aimed at letting the monks from the outside world know that the Zhou family could become the overlord of the boundless sand sea immortal cultivation realm, not only because of Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Jindan period, but also because the other monks of the Zhou family were definitely not incompetent people hiding under the wings of the family ancestors.

Naturally, this proposal to help the family make a name for themselves and do righteous deeds was also supported by the vast majority of the family monks, especially those of the younger generation.

After this incident, the real highlight came.

When Zhou Guangxiang said the proposal to change the family welfare worship system and establish a direct vassal family, it was not surprising that almost all the monks opposed it, including the vast majority of the monks in the foundation building period.

The assessment is directly for the monks of the whole clan, not only the monks in the Qi cultivation period should be included in the assessment, but also the monks in the foundation building period, but the assessment time of the monks in the foundation building period has been appropriately extended.

Only monks in the Purple Mansion period can be exempted from the assessment, which is the prerogative of the elders and patriarchs.

"Patriarch, think twice!"

"Our Zhou family has finally come to this point, the big guy has done his best for the family all these years, even if there is no credit, then there is hard work, right?"

"Now that the family has become the overlord of the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm, it is the strongest time in history, the big guy is thinking that he can relax and enjoy the blessings, but you come out like this, this is not, this is not ......"

A foundation-building monk of the Zhou family, who was a "tong" generation, looked at Zhou Guangxiang with an excited expression, and tried his best to speak for himself and other clansmen.

And more monks all looked at Zhou Yang, who had been sitting there with his eyes closed and not saying a word the whole time.

Everyone knows that the real supreme ruler of the Zhou family has always been the ancestor of the family who has single-handedly led the family to this day.

Although Zhou Yang has not interfered in the clan affairs of the Zhou family for a long time, his status in the Zhou family has never changed in any way, but with the improvement of his cultivation, he has become more and more awe-inspiring to the people below.

"Your name is Zhou Tongda, right? I don't think you're well-versed at all!"

Zhou Yang's eyes widened, and he looked at the foundation building monk fiercely, and his face changed greatly as soon as he opened his mouth, so shocked that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

"The ancestor forgives the sins, the ancestor forgives the sins, the grandson knows that he is wrong, ask the ancestor to spare the grandson once!"

Zhou Yang ignored him, but looked at the clansmen who also had a great change in complexion, and said in a cold tone:

"Zhou Tongda's thoughts, probably your thoughts, right?"

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

"I am now in the Jindan period of cultivation, and I still dare not slack off my cultivation, and I will not slack off in my hard work every day, so what kind of face do you dare to mention the word relaxation?"

"The Zhou family can have today, you have a contribution, but the greater contributor is me, your patriarch, and the thousands of family ancestors who have sacrificed their lives for the development of the family!"

"Now you are sitting on the spiritual mountain that your ancestors gave their lives to fight, but you don't want to take advantage of the current favorable conditions to practice hard, but instead say that you want to enjoy pure blessings, do you think that by doing so, you are worthy of the ancestors of the family who have never practiced on this high-level spiritual mountain in their lives?

"Is the family treating you badly? Compare yourself with the monks of other families, compare those loose cultivators, and see which family is treated better than our Zhou family's clansmen?"

"In terms of daily food and accommodation, the family's spirit valley and demon beast meat are all open to eat, you can eat a special medicinal meal every month, and the places where you live are also places with strong spiritual energy, and the elixir magic weapons and spirit runes are also distributed for free!"

"In terms of cultivation, the exercises and spells collected by the family are all for you to learn, and the elders will answer your cultivation doubts for free!"

"You have these privileged treatments, but you don't want to work hard to repay your family, you don't want to forge ahead, do you say for yourself, are you worthy of those ancestors who gave their lives to create such favorable conditions for you?"

Zhou Yang's eyes swept over the thousands of people in the hall, and no one dared to make eye contact with him, and everyone was frightened by his eloquent words.

Since he first opened the system of family assembly, this is the first time he has spoken to everyone in such a stern tone at a family meeting.

And his identity as a Jindan monk and the identity of the ancestor of the family made those who were complained by him, no one dared to refute it, and even the idea of refutation came out in his heart, and some were just boundless panic.

After glancing around like this, Zhou Yang restrained some of the sharpness in his eyes, and said indifferently:

"Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, if someone thinks that the Zhou family is now strong and does not need to work hard to contribute to the family, so they want to relax themselves and enjoy the so-called Qingfu, I am not reluctant. ”

"It's just that what I want to tell you is that such a person is not worthy of living in the Zhou family under my leadership, and the Zhou family will not support this kind of incompetent person who does not have any enterprising spirit!"

"You can take the severance pay given to you by the family, leave the family, and when the time comes, you can establish a vassal family to enjoy your blessings, or you can wander the immortal world in a chic way, it's all up to you!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yang's eyes turned again, looked at Zhou Tongda, who was still kowtowing on the ground, and said: "You get up first, the speaker is not guilty, this is what I said personally when I established the family assembly system, although your ideas disgust me, but I will not use this to cure your crimes!"

When Zhou Tongda heard his previous words, he was overjoyed, thinking that he had escaped.

But when he heard his later words, his heart was cold, and his face was like ashes in an instant.

Being said by Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, in front of the whole clan, he was disgusted with his thoughts, even if his idea actually represented the thoughts of many family monks, he was finished!

Zhou Yang may not be guilty of his speech, but he knows that the other clansmen will definitely remember what Zhou Yang said today, and then avoid him from a distance like a snake and scorpion, so as not to be regarded as his "comrade".

"I'm stupid!"

"It is said that the rafters that come out of the head are rotten first, knowing that the patriarch dares to make such a proposal to offend the monks of the whole clan, he must have received the approval of the ancestors in advance, why should he rush out to take the lead, when the chicken that kills the chicken to show the monkey?"

Zhou Tongda got up and retreated to his original position with a dead face, looking at the surrounding people who were quietly distancing themselves from him, and his heart swelled with boundless remorse.

He didn't dare to complain about Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, he only complained that he was stupid, he had no eyes, and he didn't even understand such a simple truth.

It's a pity that there is no regret in the world to take medicine, and his "chicken" sent to the door happened to become an example that Zhou Yang used to intimidate the monkeys.

Sure enough, seeing Zhou Tongda, a monk in the foundation building period, after Zhou Yang sacrificed those who said that they were sacrificed, coupled with the influence of Zhou Yang's previous powerful words, no monk of the Zhou family dared to raise objections to the new reform.

Smart people know that Zhou Yang gave them the right to attend the family meeting to discuss family affairs, so that they could speak freely here and participate in the family's decision-making.

Zhou Yang didn't give them the opportunity to speak, he didn't give them the right to object, and none of them could object.

It is true that the Zhou family is the Zhou family of all the Zhou family, but the Zhou family, with Zhou Yang, the ancestor, is the overlord of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm.

provoked Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, and left the family directly in a fit of anger to travel all over the world, they still want to enjoy Qingfu?

This simple truth is known even to teenagers.
