Chapter 538: Breaking Cause and Effect [Two in One]
Zhou Tongxuan was undoubtedly lucky.
After he was rescued by Zhou Yang, after Xiao Ying's treatment of "Qinghua Crossing Immortal Light", supplemented by a panacea to restore his vitality, he completely returned to normal after only half a year.
And after this bloody battle of life and death, he was successfully promoted to the fourth layer of foundation building soon after recovering from his injury.
And when all his subordinates were lost, he single-handedly killed the third-order high-grade demon beast [Jade-faced Fox Wolf] and several third-order demon beasts, which also spread throughout the Zhou family during the days when he was recuperating from his injuries, winning him countless praises.
In this respect, his injuries this time were indeed not in vain.
At this time, seven years had passed since Zhou Yang returned to the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm.
In the past few years, Zhou Yang has condensed mana and refined his physical body for Taoist Xiao Ying through the "Qianyang Immortal Light", and has also successfully helped him improve his cultivation to the ninth layer of the Purple Mansion.
It's just that his own cultivation is still on the first floor of Jindan.
But he didn't get nothing.
After nearly ten years of recuperation, his natal artifact "Qianyang Golden Pagoda" was finally promoted to a fifth-order artifact.
With the foundation of this natal magic weapon, after he was promoted to a fifth-order magic weapon, he had already become one of the most powerful magic weapons in Zhou Yang's hands.
"Guangxiang, don't you really go out with me this time to have a look? With Guangxiang watching from the family's side, and the many backhands I left for her, there shouldn't be any chaos!"
On Lingxi Peak, Zhou Yang looked at his nephew, who was more mature than himself, and was a little unhappy in his heart.
Seven years have passed, and he is already preparing to go to Liuyun Continent to cultivate the immortal realm.
However, Zhou Guangxiang rejected the proposal to go to the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Liuyun Continent with him.
"Uncle Jiu, forgive me, it's not that my nephew doesn't want to go out to see the outside world, it's really that my nephew can't rest assured of the family!"
"Although with the deterrence of Uncle Jiu, all the ghosts and ghosts dare not think about our Zhou family, but with a huge family, if only Xiang'er is left as a Purple Mansion monk here, once there are some things, with the vast territory that our Zhou family now occupies, how can Xiang'er take care of it at both ends?"
"My nephew is still young, he went to Liuyun Continent to cultivate the immortal realm, there is a chance in the future, there is really no need to risk the safety of the family!"
Zhou Guangxiang arched his hand at Zhou Yang earnestly, but he did not change his mind because of Zhou Yang's displeasure.
And his words are also very reasonable, and he is a public consideration for the family, that is, Zhou Yang is a little unhappy, and it is not good to blame him too much because of this.
He waved his hand helplessly and said, "Okay, since you have already made a decision, Uncle Jiu, I won't force you." β
However, Zhou Guangxiang didn't go, but his eldest son Zhou Tongxuan did.
Zhou Yang went to Liuyun Continent to cultivate the immortal realm this time, not only to bring the Taoist companion Xiao Ying and the eldest apprentice Lu Xuewei, but also to select three young juniors from the family, including Zhou Tongxuan, to bring them with him, so as to broaden the horizons of these people.
He is now a Jindan stage cultivator, and his means are far better than Cao Wenjin at the beginning, so it is not a big problem to take a few more people to Liuyun Continent to cultivate the immortal realm.
Unlike the previous sneaking to the Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortals, this time Zhou Yang left openly.
In the past, he had to worry that he was not in the family, and there would be other young people who would have the idea of attacking the Zhou family, but now he has no such worries at all.
Now even if he leaves the Zhou family and travels far away, Zhou Guangxiang's brother and sister are sitting in Rhino Horn Continent and Chihu Mountain, and the brother and sister each have the fourth-order puppet beast and fifth-order spirit rune and rune treasure he gave him, even if they are besieged by several monks of the same level, they will not be afraid of the slightest.
And as long as he doesn't die for a day, if anyone in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm dares to make a move against the Zhou family, he must think about how to face his revenge when he returns.
Because of the large number of people, Zhou Yang did not fly in the clouds as Cao Wenjin did at the beginning, but sacrificed the fourth-order flying magic weapon "Phantom Cloud Boat" that had not been used for a long time.
A group of six of them took this small boat and turned into a cloud of white clouds and merged into the sea of clouds in the Broken Cloud Mountains, which was not at all inconspicuous.
And this group of people, except for Zhou Yang and his wife, entered the Broken Cloud Mountain Range for the first time, and left the boundless sand sea to cultivate the immortal realm for the first time.
Like Zhou Yang at the beginning, these people Pu saw the magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers below, their faces were red with excitement, and their eyes lit up.
And Zhou Yang is different from Cao Wenjin at the beginning, these little guys are not forbidden to ask questions on the road, but patiently answer all kinds of questions for them.
"Old Ancestor, my grandson heard that there is a sixth-order demon king in this Broken Cloud Mountain Range, you have seen a lot, I don't know if you have seen a sixth-order demon king, can you tell your grandson what the sixth-order demon king looks like?"
Zhou Tongxuan, as the son of the patriarch of the Zhou family, although he also has great respect for Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, his courage is greater than that of the other two companions after all, looking at the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers below, he couldn't help but ask Zhou Yang about the existence of the sixth-order demon king.
And Zhou Yang looked at this junior who looked as handsome and heroic as himself, looked at the look in the other party's eyes full of expectation, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Of course, there are sixth-order demon kings in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, and there are more than one or two, but those existences are basically cultivating on the Heavenly Peak, and they will not leave the place of cultivation easily, and my ancestor has never seen such an existence in my life!"
"Old Ancestor, you said that those sixth-order demon kings are all cultivating on the Heavenly Peak, so what is the place of the Heavenly Peak?"
Probably influenced by Zhou Yang's amiable attitude, Zhou Zehong, another young monk of the Zhou family who was traveling with him, also had the courage to ask each other.
"Jietian Peak is the main peak of the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, with a height of 7,600 zhang, the spiritual vein grade is as high as the sixth order, there are three different scenery on the mountain, below 2,000 zhang is a lush forest lined with towering ancient trees, more than 2,500 zhang is a frost and snow area covered by ice and snow all year round, and more than 7,000 zhang is a nine-day peerless domain surrounded by Gangfeng and heavenly thunder!"
While Zhou Yang was answering this junior's question, he glanced back at the direction of the boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm in a trance.
He also asked this question at the beginning, but the person who answered his words at that time was Yang Wenxiong, the current head of Huangshamen, who had been left far behind him.
"Then Ancestor, have you ever seen Jietian Peak?"
The last of the three Zhou family descendants, Zhou Fujin of the "Fu" generation, didn't seem to notice that his ancestors were a little distracted, and he had the courage to ask the questions in his heart.
"Hehehe, I haven't gotten tired of your ancestor, it's the hidden cultivation place of the sixth-order demon king, don't say it's my Jindan stage monk, it's the Yuan Infant stage great divine power monk, and I don't dare to approach the area of the Heavenly Peak. β
Zhou Yang shook his head and smiled, he was also amused by the questions of these juniors.
The three juniors brought this time are all less than 100 years old, and the youngest Zhou Fujin, although he has successfully built the foundation, has just turned 50 years old.
These people were born after the Zhou family became strong, and grew up listening to the legend of his family's ancestor, and felt that his family's ancestor was powerful and omnipotent.
As everyone knows, he is also just a Jindan period monk!
In the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, the Jindan Stage Cultivator can dominate one side and be the only one.
But out of this small place, who knows who he is!
That's why he wants to bring a few little guys out to open his eyes.
These three people have good qualifications, and if they are cultivated well, they may not have the possibility of opening up the Purple Mansion in the future.
Compared with the three young juniors of the Zhou family, Lu Xuewei is much calmer.
She looked at the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers below, listening to the questions and answers between Zhou Yang and the three juniors of the Zhou family, but in her mind, she remembered Zhou Yang's arrangement for her.
According to Zhou Yang's arrangement, after taking her to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm this time, he would first help her open up the Purple Mansion, and then she would need to travel and practice alone in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm for decades before she could return to the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Obviously, Zhou Yang copied Huangshamen's original method of cultivating high-level monks, and Lu Xuewei would be the first high-level monk in the Zhou family to eat crabs.
The journey was quite smooth, and a few months later, Zhou Yang and his party successfully arrived at the place where he had fought - Zhenyue Immortal City.
More than two hundred years have passed, and Zhenyue Immortal City has experienced several more "beast tides" impact, but just like the dozens of "beast tides" that have occurred in the past thousands of years, they have not been able to cause any harm to this majestic city.
It still stands majestically, like a reef in the sea, no matter how the "beast tide" that erupts in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range hits, it still stands.
In view of the fact that he was still wanted by the Imperial Beast Sect and was the demon head with a bounty on the "Demon Punishment List", Zhou Yang did not dare to enter Zhenyue Immortal City.
The goal of the Jindan stage cultivator is still a little bigger, and if he enters Zhenyue Immortal City, he will definitely attract a lot of attention.
Although he can disguise his identity through some means, all kinds of miraculous secret techniques in the immortal cultivation world are endless, who knows if someone happens to master the relevant secret techniques and recognize his true identity?
This kind of thing has happened to him once before, and he doesn't want to do it again.
What's more, the main purpose of his coming to Zhenyue Immortal City this time was to fulfill a promise he had made.
At the beginning, he had promised Jia Yunzhen, a loose cultivator in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm who taught him the "Great Yan Sword Technique", that if he found the full version of the "Great Yan Sword Technique" one day, he would definitely go to his grave and burn a copy for him to read.
More than two hundred years have passed, if Jia Yunzhen hadn't formed a golden pill, there was a high probability that he would have passed away.
Zhou Yang didn't have to enter Zhenyue Immortal City to inquire about it.
After thinking back to what Jia Yunzhen had explained to him at the beginning, he led a group of people to look for it in a certain mountain range to the west of Zhenyue Immortal City.
After searching like this for a long time, he found the place Jia Yunzhen had said.
It was a steep mountain shaped like an inverted heavenly sword, the peak was only two or three hundred zhang high, and there was no trace of any spiritual vein.
Zhou Yang found a tomb on the top of the peak, and there was a black stone tablet standing in front of the tomb, on which was engraved with the words "Tomb of Sword Cultivator Jia Yunzhen" with a sword.
It's just that Zhou Yang's divine sense swept over the tomb, but found that there was only a broken sword with no aura and an ash altar inside.
When he saw this, he immediately knew that Jia Yun was really afraid that he had died at the hands of some enemy before Shou Yuan was exhausted, and this tomb should have been erected by his friend in accordance with his last wishes.
This result was both unexpected and unpleasant to him.
Jia Yunzhen's arrogant and uninhibited personality is easy to grudge with others, and people with this kind of character can get a good death, either with invincible strength or a very strong background, and neither of these seems to be possessed.
"Senior Jia, Zhou has found the full version of "Dayan Sword Technique", and today I will use this as a sacrifice to comfort your soul in the sky and fulfill your fate with me. β
In front of the bulging tomb, Zhou Yang waved his hand, and a jade slip with the full version of "Dayan Sword Technique" was burned to ashes by him on the spot.
Since then, he and Jia Yunzhen have thoroughly understood the cause and effect, and neither party owes anyone.
After sweeping Jia Yunzhen's tomb, Zhou Yang left Zhenyue Immortal City with everyone without any nostalgia.
His next destination was Danyun Peak, where he and Daoist Xiao Ying met.
Every time he came to Liuyun Continent to cultivate the immortal realm, Zhou Yang would go there to reminisce about the past, and this time was no exception.
I heard that I went to the place where the ancestor and grandmother of the family met, and several juniors of the Zhou family, together with Lu Xuewei, showed a strong interest.
Xiao Ying has been in the Zhou family for many years, and the elixir she has refined has benefited many Zhou family monks, and she is also a Taoist companion of Zhou Yang, and her status in the Zhou family is actually not inferior to Zhou Guangxiang, the current patriarch.
In particular, she has a gentle and kind personality, treats people kindly, rarely gets angry and angry, and is very loved by the junior monks in the Zhou family.
In contrast, Zhou Yang is too powerful because of his prestige, but people dare not get close.
"Master, you have never said how you met Shizun, why don't you take this opportunity to talk to us. β
Lu Xuewei, a female apprentice, seemed to be very interested in the affairs of her master's wife, and it was rare to have this opportunity, so she immediately pestered Xiao Ying to inquire.
Although the other three juniors of the Zhou family did not dare to inquire about this kind of thing as boldly as her, they all pricked up their ears and looked at Xiao Ying, the old grandmother, with an expectant expression.
Xiao Ying has a soft temperament, and Lu Xuewei has always been loved by her, so she has no choice but to be pestered by Lu Xuewei this time, and she really plans to tell her how she met Zhou Yang in the first place.
When Zhou Yang saw this, he immediately knew that he couldn't keep speaking.
If this really makes Xiao Ying tell him about his abduction of an ignorant girl, how will he be a teacher in the future? How can he maintain the image of his wise and martial ancestor?
I saw that his face sank, and he complained to a few juniors: "Nonsense! The affairs of the elders, how can you juniors inquire about them?"
He had always been kind and pleasant before, but this time his face suddenly changed, and several juniors, including Lu Xuewei, were taken aback, trembling and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Shizun (Old Ancestor) is angry, I will know that I am wrong, and I will never dare to do it again in the future, ask Shizun (Old Ancestor) for forgiveness!"
"Poof!"
Xiao Ying couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw this scene.
She is no longer the ignorant girl who has lived in the mountains for a long time and does not know the sinister nature of the world, of course she knows why Zhou Yang suddenly changed her face.
To be honest, the two have been Taoist couples for hundreds of years, and it was the first time she saw Zhou Yang behaving like this, which made her suddenly want to laugh, and then she couldn't help laughing.
When several juniors heard her laughter, they all looked at her blankly for some reason, not understanding why she was laughing.
Only Zhou Yang's face turned red, and then he waved his hand pretending not to know: "Okay, this matter is over, and there will be no example." β
His majesty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and several juniors have already been frightened after experiencing the fright just now, and they are busy thanking them after hearing this, and they dare not mention this matter again.
Soon, Danyun Peak arrived.
It's just that what Zhou Yang didn't expect was that the little Danyun Peak had become a battlefield at this moment.
The two immortal cultivation families were fighting each other around the ownership of this spiritual mountain, and no one found out that an existence that they absolutely could not afford to provoke was watching them in the sky.
"It's the descendants of the original couple, I didn't expect that after more than a hundred years, their small family has become so prosperous!"
In the sky, Zhou Yang looked at the hundreds of monks who were fighting on the battlefield below, and his face showed a slight hint of surprise.
He remembered very well that when he and Taoist Xiao Ying came to live here temporarily more than a hundred years ago, the couple of scattered cultivators who occupied Danyun Peak had only a dozen descendants.
Now that his divine sense has swept over, the number of monks guarding the Lingshan side is no less than fifty, which shows that this family has developed very well over the years.
"That couple is a good person, husband, you can help their descendants, and the concubine doesn't want this Danyun Peak to be tainted by blood!"
Xiao Ying frowned lightly and looked at the bloody battlefield below, with a look of displeasure in her eyes.
"Kill chickens with a knife, I won't make a move, let Xue Wei and these boys help, it will be a trial. β
Zhou Yang shook his head with a smile and said his plan.
Hearing his words, Lu Xuewei was nothing, but Zhou Tongxuan's three young juniors had bright eyes, and all of them showed eagerness to try.
"The old ancestor is right, you and the old grandmother will stay here for a while, and the grandson and the others will clear the field for your second elder!"
Zhou Tongxuan shouted, and even the imperial envoy flew the sword to kill.
When Zhou Zehong and Zhou Fujin saw this, they were also unwilling, so they followed and killed them.
Lu Xuewei was afraid that they would lose, so when she saw this, she just saluted Zhou Yang and the others, and hurriedly followed behind.
Those monks who attacked Danyun Peak's side only had three foundation building monks, one in the middle stage of foundation building, two in the early stage of foundation building, and there were also sixty or seventy Qi cultivation stage monks.
These people originally had the upper hand over the monks of Danyun Peak, because the family on Danyun Peak now only had one monk in the early stage of foundation building to support the faΓ§ade.
Zhou Tongxuan's three foundation building period monks suddenly came out, and the target was directly aimed at their own side, and those monks who attacked Danyun Peak immediately panicked.
The leading mid-stage foundation building monk hurriedly withdrew his magic weapon to intercept Zhou Tongxuan, and at the same time loudly reported the origin of his family, wanting to deter Zhou Tongxuan and the three of them with words.
It turned out that they were from a Purple Mansion family, and the reason why they attacked Danyun Peak was because the Gu family on Danyun Peak was unwilling to surrender to their family.
It's just that it's okay if he doesn't report his family, but when he heard that there was only a Zifu family behind him, Zhou Tongxuan and the others suddenly didn't have the slightest worry.
Not to mention that these people themselves do not belong to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, they belong to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, and the Zhou family with Zhou Yang, the Jindan Ancestor, is in charge, and there is no need to be afraid of a Zifu family.
After a battle that was not so fierce, the three foundation building period monks who attacked Danyun Peak all died in the hands of Zhou Tongxuan and the others.
As soon as these three leaders died, those Qi cultivation period cultivators dared to stay here any longer, and hurriedly scattered and fled.
Zhou Tongxuan and the three of them didn't bother to hunt down these low-level monks, and after putting away the loot, they flew into the sky with a proud face to return to their ancestors.
"Danyun Gu Qingchen, meet all the seniors, the seniors save their lives, the Gu family is grateful, toothless and unforgettable, please accept my wait!"
On Danyun Peak, when Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying descended here surrounded by Zhou Tongxuan and a group of juniors, Gu Qingchen, the contemporary head of the Gu family who occupied Danyun Peak, hurriedly led the monks of the whole clan to bow and thank him.
"This Danyun Peak was originally my Daoist's Spiritual Mountain. β
Zhou Yang looked at Gu Qingchen, who looked like a middle-aged man in front of him, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was taken aback.
"Ah, senior, are you the senior Zhou who was a guest of my Gu family a hundred years ago!"
Gu Qingchen shouted, as if he remembered something, looked at Zhou Yang with surprise on his face, then reached out and patted the storage bag, took out a portrait and spread it out, only to see a man and a woman on the portrait, it was Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying.
"Forgive the seniors, this is the grandfather of the younger generation after seeing the heroic appearance of the seniors, he specially explained to us the younger generations before his death, if the seniors come to Danyun Peak again, let us do our best to entertain the seniors, but I didn't expect that today it was the seniors who avoided a catastrophe!"
Seeing Zhou Yang looking at the portrait in his hand, Gu Qingchen hurriedly handed over the portrait to explain the origin of the portrait, and then looked at Zhou Yang with emotion and gratitude on his face and let out a long sigh.
"Since your parents have explained to you, Zhou is too lazy to say anything, this Danyunfeng Zhou has been requisitioned for three days, and your family will move outside to live first, and this battlefield will also be cleaned up for me, so as not to be an eyesore. β
Zhou Yang nodded slightly, but did not pick up the portrait, and directly said his request.
Not to mention that he had just saved the Gu family, it was his status as a high-ranking monk, which also made Gu Qingchen dare not have any objections, so he hurriedly nodded yes and went down to arrange for the clansmen to evacuate.
Zhou Yang didn't live in vain, the day after he stayed in Danyun Peak, because he noticed that the soul card of the family foundation building monk was broken, the elder of the Purple Mansion family who attacked the ancient family of Danyun Peak personally rushed to Danyun Peak, wanting to avenge his own fallen descendants.
As a result, Zhou Yang, who was disturbed, just used the word "roll", and shook the old man who cultivated on the sixth floor of the Purple Mansion and fell into the clouds, and then he didn't dare to let go of another fart and desperately fled back to the family, and he didn't dare to send someone to deal with the Gu family again.
Seeing this scene in Gu Chensha's eyes, he was suddenly surprised and delighted, knowing that he had met a real nobleman.
He had the heart to slap Zhou Yang, but unfortunately Zhou Yang didn't give him a chance at all, and he didn't live for three days, so he took people away without saying hello.
This time, because he saved the Gu family twice, he didn't even leave a magic weapon and a pill.
And after this time, because she saw that Dan Yunfeng had been transformed by the Gu family, Xiao Ying also had no thoughts about it, and said that she would never want to come back in the future.
