Zhou Yang has never been a word in the Zhou family.

Every time he had any major decisions or things to announce, he would first inform the other clansmen at the family meeting and solicit the opinions of the majority of clansmen.

But he can not make a statement, and others may not really have the courage to contradict his decision.

Especially after his cultivation reached the Purple Mansion Stage, there were almost no such people.

The matter of the Zhou family's replacement of the patriarch is certainly a great event, and it can even be said that there are very few things that cannot be decided by the patriarch.

But there are few Zhou family members who really dare to express their opinions on this major matter.

What's more, Zhou Guangxiang, as the only high-grade spiritual root monk of the Zhou family, and before that, he served as the deputy patriarch of the Zhou family to preside over family affairs for more than ten years, and he took over the position of the head of the Zhou family, which can be said to be reasonable and legitimate, and no one can pick out a thorn in it.

So in the end, Zhou Guangxiang took over as the patriarch, and it was decided.

According to Zhou Yang's instructions, the ceremony of taking over as the patriarch will be held a month later, when most of the monks of the Zhou family will be present to witness, and the patriarchs of other vassal families will be invited to watch the ceremony.

And in this month, Zhou Yang was not idle.

According to his plan, after he officially stepped down as the patriarch, he would take Daoist Xiao Ying to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Therefore, this month will be the last period of time he will stay in the family.

During this time, he carried out a big cleaning of the treasures he had stored privately and the contents of the family treasury, putting all the things he was going to bring to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm into the two storage rings, while some of the things were left in the family.

At this time, his benefits of being the highest cultivator of the Zhou family as a monk were reflected.

The things in the Zhou family's treasure house, as long as he felt that he could take them away, were unceremoniously taken out and thrown into the storage ring.

At the same time, of the two or three hundred thousand lower grade spirit stones stored in the family's treasure house, in addition to leaving 30,000 lower grade spirit stones for the family's emergency use, he also put them all into the storage ring.

Of course, only a few high-level people of the Zhou family knew about this matter, and those people in the Qi cultivation period would not know about it, and those people in the inner treasure house would not be able to enter anyway.

Zhou Yang will not explain to these clansmen that he and Taoist Xiao Ying have done all kinds of things for the family over the years, and he has left things for the family as family heritage, so that the number of family contribution points has accumulated to as many as three or four hundred thousand.

That will only make the clansmen think crankily, and it is not conducive to the stability of the family.

After sorting out the things, Zhou Yang also specially sorted out a codex of refining experience and cultivation experience and handed it to Zhou Guangxiang for the reference and study of the younger generations of the family.

His Taoist companion Xiao Ying also copied a copy of the alchemy experience he recorded on weekdays and kept it in the family for those alchemists in the family to study and study.

Such a month passed quickly.

A month later, Zhou Yang stepped down as the patriarch of the Zhou family in public under the witness of hundreds of Zhou family members and Ma Shaoyang and other vassal family patriarchs, and since then he has retired to the background and become the Taishang elder of the Zhou family.

And after Zhou Guangxiang stepped down as the patriarch in Zhou Yang, he officially took over the position of patriarch from him and became the fifth-generation patriarch of the Zhou family.

This year, Zhou Yang was 127 years old and Zhou Guangxiang was 87 years old.

Counting on his fingers, since Zhou Yang took over as the head of the Zhou family at the age of thirty-four, he has been sitting in this position for ninety-three years!

In the ninety-three years, he personally sent away two generations of the Zhou family's "light" and "xuan" generations, as well as the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, a monk of the "Ming" generation.

In the past ninety-three years, under his leadership, the Zhou family has grown from a small family facing the risk of inheritance severance to become a Zifu family with many talents and strong soldiers.

His achievements in office surpassed any patriarch of the Zhou family, and his contribution to the family was unmatched by the Zhou family.

All the monks of the Zhou family now, and all the descendants of the Zhou family in the future, will always remember his contribution to the family as the fourth generation patriarch, and his achievements will be preserved forever in the history of the family.

"Zhou Yuanyang, the fourth generation patriarch of the Zhou family, father Zhou Xuanhao, mother Lin Yuting, Taoist Xiao Ying, born in the 192nd year of the Zhou clan calendar, born to know, there is Su Hui, four years old practice, seven years old Qi practice, thirty-four years old to build the foundation, and took over the position of the patriarch of the Zhou clan that year...... One hundred and five years old Zifu ...... At the age of one hundred and twenty-seven, he stepped down as the patriarch and became the elder of the Zhou family in the same year...... Meritorious achievements, virtue is passed down for generations, the Zhou family, this is the only one!" - "History of the Zhou Clan: The Biography of Gaozu Zhou Yuanyang"

The merits and demerits of the merits and demerits are commented on by future generations.

Zhou Yang didn't care what evaluation he would get in the future, immortal cultivators only wanted immortality, and there was nothing else to ask for.

Fame and fortune are like clouds of smoke for him, and everything is ultimately for the purpose of serving the word "immortality".

Therefore, after stepping down as the patriarch, he openly told the clansmen that he was practicing in retreat in his cave mansion and becoming a carefree elder.

In fact, after explaining everything, he quietly took Taoist Xiao Ying to Huangshamen and met Zhang Yunpeng, the head of Huangshamen.

"This is the [Hidden Spirit Incense] prepared for Zhou Daoyou, this thing is quite difficult to make, Daoyou must not use it outside casually, otherwise in the future, if Daoyou wants to return to the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm, you can only take the risk of forcibly crossing the Broken Cloud Mountain Range!"

"In addition, this storage bag contains a heavy gift prepared by Shizun before his death, and I also asked Zhou Daoyou to transfer it to Qingyang Zhenren's predecessors on his behalf, this matter is a big wish of Shizun, and I hope that Daoyou will never shirk!"

"In the end, this storage bag contains 200,000 lower grade spirit stones, Zhou Daoyou is going to Liuyunzhou to cultivate the immortal realm, if there is [Purple Heart Chalcedony] for sale at the auction meeting, I hope to help us Huangshamen auction a copy, as long as the price is not higher than 200,000 lower grade spirit stones, Daoyou can increase the price!"

Inside the Huangsha Gate, Zhang Yunpeng saw Zhou Yang coming, and even handed over to him the things he had prepared a long time ago, and at the same time said his request.

Zhou Yang knew that Zhang Yunpeng quietly went to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm a few years ago, the purpose was to pick up Yang Wenxiong, a monk from the Huangshamen Purple Mansion who had gone to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm with him at the beginning, and by the way, he also went to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm with the spirit stone treasures obtained from the traitors to purchase spiritual objects for opening up the Purple Mansion.

It's just that Zhang Yunpeng's luck doesn't seem to be good, although he successfully picked up Yang Wenxiong in the past, he didn't purchase such a precious spiritual object as "Purple Heart Chalcedony" as he wished.

After all, even in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, this kind of spiritual object is not available for sale anywhere at any time, and it is only possible to get it in that kind of large-scale auction and high-level monk exchange meeting, and Zhang Yunpeng obviously did not dare to stay in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm for too long.

Therefore, when he heard Zhang Yunpeng's request at this time, he just groaned a little, took everything in his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, if you really encounter that kind of opportunity, Zhou will definitely help." ”

After speaking, he paused, looked at Zhang Yunpeng solemnly and said: "At the same time, Zhou also asked Master Zhang to help take care of the Zhou family after Zhou left!"

When Zhang Yunpeng heard this, he also solemnly assured: "Although Zhou Daoyou can rest assured in this matter, if the Zhou family really encounters any difficulties during the period when Daoyou leaves, as long as Zhang can help, he will risk his life, and Zhang will definitely protect the Zhou family!"

"Then Zhou Mou will thank Master Zhang here!"

Zhou Yang bowed his hand slightly to express his gratitude, and then quietly left Huangshamen in Zhang Yunpeng's personal send-off, and officially embarked on his second journey to the immortal realm of Liuyunzhou.

This time he went to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, Zhou Yang no longer had anyone to escort, so he could only go on his own, and he also had to take the Taoist companion Xiao Ying, so the pressure was not small.

Fortunately, the route to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, he had already memorized it last time, and the Huangsha Gate also retained the approximate route map, and this time Zhang Yunpeng also gave him a copy.

With the road map and his last memory, at least he didn't have to worry about getting lost in the mountains, which was very important.

The Broken Cloud Mountain Range is vast and boundless, if he gets lost in it, Zhou Yang has the strength of the Jindan Period, and he may not be able to come out of it alive.

He flew with his sword and took Xiao Ying along the route that Cao Wenjin had originally entered the mountain, flying over from a snow peak that was lower than other snow peaks.

After entering the mountain, he immediately lit the "Hidden Spirit Incense", and then flew over the snow-capped mountain at the fastest speed and entered the clouds and mist behind the snow-capped mountain.

The vast clouds and mist obscured the figures on the flying sword, so that the demon beasts that did not get close to Zhou Yang within a hundred meters could not find the figures of their couple.

But Zhou Yang is not Cao Wenjin after all, although his divine sense is strong, he is more than a step worse than Cao Wenjin, and he can't be like Cao Wenjin, who can detect the approach of demon beasts in advance from a distance of sixty or seventy miles.

This caused him to sometimes find a flying demon beast flying in the clouds and mist in front of him, and before he had time to slow down and turn to avoid it, he was discovered by the demon beast.

At this time, he could only strike first, and kill the demon beast with a thunderbolt before it could send an alarm.

With his current strength, unless he encounters a fourth-order demon beast, all third-order demon beasts are a matter of one sword.

Often, as soon as those demon beasts discovered his whereabouts, they were cut off by the flying sword that suddenly emerged from the clouds behind them.

When these demon beasts died, Zhou Yang would not let their corpses fall down to be discovered by other demon beasts, and they were all directly put into the storage ring.

These two storage rings, when he was cultivating the Immortal Realm in the Boundless Sand Sea, he never dared to wear them on his hand, for fear of being discovered and deducing their origins.

But this time when he went to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, there was no need for him to hide it anymore.

In the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, some wealthy Purple Mansion Stage monks will also buy a storage ring.

After all, both in terms of storage space and security, storage rings are many times stronger than storage bags.
