At the commendation meeting in the ancestral ancestral hall of the Zhou family, Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang, Zhou Sheng and the three of them gained both face and lining.

Zhou Yang not only highly praised the three in front of the whole clan, calling on all the clansmen to learn from the three, but also informed everyone of his physical reward plan for the three.

This kind of real fame and fortune is indeed the envy and yearning of all the Zhou family people present.

Zhou Ronghua and the three of them, many monks here today know and know that in the past, these three people were in the Zhou family, although they were good, but there were also many people who were better than them.

And now the three of them just followed the ancestor of the family to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, fought a big battle, and returned to their hometown to receive such honors and awards, how could this not make those monks who were close to them envious and jealous.

Many younger children of the Zhou family made up their minds on the spot, and after the meeting was over, they went to beg the patriarch to follow the ancestor to serve in the immortal cultivation realm of Liuyun Continent.

Even some of the elder monks of the Zhou family are secretly wondering whether to take the risk of going out and fighting for a glorious future for future generations.

Zhou Yang saw all this in his eyes, and he was extremely satisfied in his heart, knowing that his purpose of doing this had been initially achieved.

It has always been his goal to get the Zhou family out of the boundless sea of sand, but this immigration strategy must follow the principle of voluntariness and cannot be forced.

The outside world is wonderful, and the outside world is dangerous.

In Zhou Yang's opinion, if the Zhou family cultivators who want to get out of the boundless sand sea immortal cultivation realm, they must first have the determination to dare to face death.

Because of geographical constraints, it was impossible for him to take all the Zhou family monks to immigrate to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, so in the case of limited places, every monk who went out must be an elite within the family.

Only when these elite cultivators gathered together could they quickly and efficiently rebuild a strong Zhou family in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.

"Now that my Zhou family has a foundation in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, in the future, the outstanding clansmen in the family can take the initiative to apply to the family to go to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm to experience and station, the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm is very prosperous and dangerous, so I hope that when you apply to the family, it is best to consider whether you are ready to sacrifice for the great cause of the family, and make a decision after thinking about it!"

Zhou Yang looked at the clansmen who showed yearning and expectation, waved his hand, and said in a low tone: "Now, the clansmen who have cultivated below the foundation building period can disperse first, and the clansmen who have cultivated in the foundation building period and the purple mansion period will stay, and I still have a big thing to announce to you, Ancestor!"

Hearing his words, those Zhou family cultivators who were in the Qi cultivation period, although they were extremely curious about what was going on in his mouth, no one dared to disobey the order of his family ancestor, and immediately retreated respectfully.

After all these people left, Zhou Yang moved his gaze to Zhou Guangxiang, who had not said a word today, shook his head lightly and said, "It's better for you to say it yourself." ”

"The nephew took the order. ”

Zhou Guangxiang responded in a low voice, and then his eyes swept over the Zhou family monks who were looking at him with a look of surprise, closed his eyes, and slowly spoke: "I am guilty, as the head of the Zhou family, but I know the law and break the law, and use the rights given to me by the family to use my power for personal gain, for the ......"

The audience was silent, and only Zhou Guangxiang's words full of regret echoed.

Regarding Zhou Shengyu's sending away, for the sake of the stability of the clan, Zhou Guangxiang's previous statement to other monks in the clan was to send him to Zhou Yang and his wife for further study.

Because he was the patriarch, and being able to follow Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Jindan stage of cultivation, was indeed a great thing, and the other Zhou family monks did not suspect anything.

At this time, hearing his words of repentance, all the Zhou family monks were immediately stunned.

Zhou Guangxiang didn't look at the stunned Zhou family members, but continued to say to himself: "Those who have merit are rewarded, and those who have faults are punished, this is what is clearly written in my Zhou family rules, although I am the head of the Zhou family, I can't be exempted from this!"

"According to the clan rules, those who use power for personal gain can be punished by abolishing cultivation and expelling from the family, Zhou Guangxiang, as the patriarch, took the lead in using power for personal gain, and not being severely punished is not enough to serve the public!"

"Therefore, the sinner Zhou Guangxiang hereby implores Elder Taishang to deprive me of the position of patriarch and impose the punishment of exile to the outside world for a hundred years, as an example!"

In the end, the others had already knelt down in front of the ancestral hall where the ancestral spirit tablets were stored in the ancestral ancestral hall of the Zhou family, and bowed deeply to the ground to show their guilt.

It was only then that the others finally recovered from this shock.

"Brother, brother, ...... you"

Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang are siblings, the brother and sister have depended on each other for hundreds of years, and the monks present are the most difficult for her to accept this scene.

She looked at her brother who was on his knees, and her face changed dramatically and she wanted to say something.

But before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped, and her eyes turned to Zhou Yang.

She knelt on the ground with a "poof", and bowed heavily to Zhou Yang and pleaded: "Ninth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, you are gracious, even if he is wrong, there is no need to be punished so heavily! Please also remember his merits and hard work for the family in the past, and spare him once, niece begs you!"

"Sister, get up, don't be rude to Uncle Jiu, I'm to blame for all this, I can't blame anyone, no need to say more!"

Zhou Guangxiang stopped his sister's behavior in a deep voice, and after kowtowing to the ancestral hall three times in a row, he raised his head and got up, turned around to face Zhou Yang, and waited for Zhou Yang to say the final judgment.

Zhou Yang didn't look at him, but looked at the other Zhou family members, and said in a cold voice: "You have seen it, you have heard it, Zhou Guangxiang, as the patriarch, has made a mistake, and he needs to be punished by the clan rules, if someone dares to do something contrary to the clan rules by virtue of his identity and position in the future, he needs to think about whether he can escape the punishment of the clan rules!"

When the monks of the Zhou family present heard this, they immediately fell to their knees in fright, and shouted repeatedly: "I don't dare to wait!"

"Whether you dare or not, it's not as simple as words, but it depends on actual actions!"

"Guangxiang was raised by me, even brought up by me, and I have been proud of him many times over the past hundreds of years, but you can see it now. ”

"I hope you can take him as a lesson, and take a good look at the clan rules a few more times when you go back, I don't want to see similar things again in the future, otherwise I can tolerate you, and the clan rules can't tolerate you!"

Zhou Yang said these words coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he took the patriarch token on Zhou Guangxiang's body into his hand.

"Now, as you witness, as the elder of the Zhou family, I deprive Zhou Guangxiang of the position of the patriarch of the Zhou family and sentence him to exile to the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Liuyun Continent for a hundred years!"

Zhou Guangxiang accepted the guilt. Zhou Guangxiang arched his hand to show that he had no objection.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but continue: "The family can't be without a patriarch for a day, since Zhou Guangxiang is no longer the patriarch, he will re-select a patriarch among you in accordance with the clan rules, now you can speak freely, talk about the suitable candidate in your mind, and then I will personally take the school to determine whether it is suitable to be the patriarch of the Zhou family." ”

Wow!

Hearing Zhou Yang's words, the monks of the Zhou family in the ancestral hall suddenly changed their faces.

The last time the Zhou family changed their patriarch was more than two hundred years ago, and more than ninety percent of the Zhou family monks here today were not born at that time.

Since they were born, Zhou Guangxiang has been the patriarch of the Zhou family, and with the longevity of the monks of the Purple Mansion period, as long as they do not succeed in opening up the Purple Mansion, most people are afraid that they will sit down before Zhou Guangxiang.

Therefore, the position of the patriarch, many Zhou family monks dare not think of it, and they have no idea of this aspect at all.

But now, the position of the patriarch is vacant, and listening to Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, he has to choose a new patriarch from among these foundation building period monks, how can this not make them excited.

The Zhou family is now the overlord of the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm, once they become the patriarch of the Zhou family, even if they are still cultivating in the foundation building period, they will surpass all the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators outside the Zhou family in terms of identity, and become an existence below a few people and above ten thousand people.

Moreover, once he becomes the patriarch of the Zhou family, he will enjoy a great priority in the exchange of the family's cultivation resources in the future, and treasures like [Purple Heart Chalcedony] will definitely be easier for the patriarch to exchange than other foundation building monks.

Who wouldn't want such a good thing that has both face and lining?

"The old ancestors, the younger generations are not talented, and they are willing to recommend themselves to accept the examination school of the ancestors. ”

Soon, a monk from the Zhou family mustered up the courage to stand up, saluted Zhou Yang with a look of anticipation, and gave him a self-recommendation.

This person's cultivation is not weak, and he has the cultivation of building seven layers of foundation.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang's lips immediately moved slightly, and Transsonic took the exam.

It can be clearly seen that after hearing the exam questions asked by Zhou Yang Chuanyin, the Zhou family monk's face suddenly changed greatly, and his mouth was full of hesitation, but he couldn't answer.

After waiting like this for a while, Zhou Yang shook his head slightly and said, "Stand down, you're not suitable." ”

This person's face turned pale suddenly, and then he bowed with shame and said, "The younger generation is incompetent, which has disappointed the old ancestor. With that, he retreated.

Since then, several people have been either recommended by others, or recommended by themselves, and they all took turns to accept Zhou Yang's school examination.

It's just that there are people who can pass Zhou Yang's one-question exam, but there is no one who can pass three questions in a row.

"Tongxuan, you can try it too. ”

In the crowd, Zhou Tongxuan, who was looking at a Zhou family monk who stepped forward to accept Zhou Yang's assessment, was stunned, and suddenly heard someone calling him.

He looked back and saw his aunt Zhou Guangxiang looking at him, his eyes full of encouragement.

"I, can I? Father, he ......."

He pursed his lips with a look of embarrassment, and the rest of the sentence did not come out, but he knew that his aunt must know what he wanted to say.

Sure enough, after Zhou Guangxiang heard his words, he immediately shook his head and reminded him: "You underestimate Uncle Jiu's mind too much, your father is your father, you are you, since he didn't say that you can't participate in the competition for the next patriarch, it means that you can also acquiesce, if you don't dare to stand up, it will make him completely disappointed in you!"

"Nephew understands, thank you aunt for mentioning it, if it weren't for you, aunt, my nephew would have made a big mistake first!"

Zhou Tongxuan's eyes suddenly flashed, and he nodded at Zhou Guangxiang with gratitude on his face, and then he also mustered up the courage to stand out.

When he took this step, he clearly felt the strange gaze of the other clansmen.

He knew very well what those clansmen were thinking now, but he was mentally prepared when he took this step.

What's more, after taking this step, although he didn't look back, he also clearly felt that his father Zhou Guangxiang's gaze fell on him, and the meaning in that gaze was completely different from that of other clansmen.

It was a gaze full of hope and expectation, and it was a father's most sincere expectation for his son.

Zhou Yang's gaze also changed slightly.

Although he had already had a plan in his heart to let Zhou Tongxuan take over the position of patriarch, he had never told anyone about this matter except for Daoist Xiao Ying.

Zhou Guangxiang was right just now, if Zhou Tongxuan didn't even dare to stand up today, Zhou Yang would be completely disappointed in him.

Zhou Yang doesn't care how strong his ability is, because with the current strength of the Zhou family, even if the patriarch is mediocre, it will not have much impact on the family, at most, there is no prestige to deter people.

But Zhou Yang didn't want the patriarch of the Zhou family, and he didn't even have a little responsibility.

Zhou Guangxiang lost the position of patriarch for Zhou Tongxuan's son who used his power for personal gain, even if Zhou Tongxuan didn't know it in advance, and even opposed it himself, as a son of man, he should stand up at this time, prove himself with practical actions, and tell others that he is not the kind of coward and incompetent person who will only hide behind his father and enjoy the shadow of his father!

Now that Zhou Tongxuan has stood up, this makes Zhou Yang breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and there is no longer any embarrassment.

Immediately, he also took the exam for Zhou Tongxuan, but the exam questions were replaced with some simple and easy-to-understand questions.

Zhou Tongxuan is not stupid, from Zhou Yang's simple question, he immediately tasted the deep meaning, and immediately looked at Zhou Yang with surprise and joy, his eyes were full of excitement.

"You must know that this opportunity is given to you because of your father and your aunt's face, not because of how capable you really are. ”

"Of course, it would be even better if you could really make some achievements so that Ancestor I and the rest of the clan could truly recognize your ability. ”

"If there really is a day, your father's sacrifice for you will not be in vain!"

Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Tongxuan, who looked excited, and said these words with a cold face indifferently, and then didn't look at Zhou Tongxuan's frozen face, and announced the result in a deep voice.

Regarding the result of Zhou Tongxuan being elected as the sixth-generation patriarch of the Zhou family, many of the Zhou family monks present were dissatisfied.

They are not stupid, how can such an obvious inside story not be seen.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and no one dares to object to the decision of Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family.

Even Zhou Guangxiang, the fifth-generation patriarch who has been the head of the Zhou family for more than 200 years, was dismissed by Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, who said that he would be dismissed, what are these monks in the foundation building period?

Originally, the position of the patriarch was designated by the patriarch of the previous generation or the highest authority of the family, and Zhou Yang was willing to give them a chance before, which was already extraordinarily gracious.

If anyone can't figure this out, it's really hopeless.

Next, Zhou Yang asked people to pass the order to call the scattered Zhou family Qi cultivation period monks back to the ancestral ancestral hall, and then in front of these monks, he handed over the token representing the patriarch to Zhou Tongxuan, completing the handover of the patriarch's position.

He and the others just went out for a trip, and the patriarch of the family changed, and those Qi cultivation period cultivators were naturally confused.

But seeing that those family foundation building monks and Purple Mansion monks had no objections, of course, none of these Qi cultivation period monks dared to say anything without opening their eyes.

Anyway, who is the patriarch is not the one?

As long as their welfare offerings are not reduced and their actual interests are not affected, whether this patriarch is Zhou Guangxiang or Zhou Tongxuandang is really not a problem for these monks at the lowest level of the family.

"Uncle Jiu's great kindness, my nephew will die a hundred times and it will be difficult to repay a hundred deaths!"

In the cave, Zhou Guangxiang knelt down in front of Zhou Yang and kowtowed deeply, his face was full of tears, which were tears of gratitude.

He didn't expect that after Zhou Yang deprived him of the position of patriarch, he would help him achieve his wish in this way.

This kind of big ups and downs is that he has practiced for hundreds of years, and the Purple Mansion period monk who has been in charge of the Zhou family for hundreds of years can no longer maintain his state of mind, and he can't help but shed tears of gratitude.

"You, you, you knew today, why bother in the first place!"

"When you told me that you wanted Tongxuan to succeed you as the patriarch, I didn't object, so why didn't you want to ask my opinion and do such a stupid thing alone?"

"You've disappointed me!"

Zhou Yang looked at his nephew who was crying bitterly in front of him with a look of hatred, and he was angry, but he didn't deliberately suppress the anger in his heart, and scolded angrily.

The so-called deep love is responsible.

How much he valued Zhou Guangxiang in the past, how disappointed and angry he was at this time.

In the face of his scolding, Zhou Guangxiang was also ashamed and didn't dare to answer, but hung his head deeply and accepted it silently.

This matter is irrefutable, and he did something wrong.

It doesn't matter if he is obsessed with his mind, or that he thinks too much, things have already happened, and the punishment for him has already been made, and no matter how much he defends, it is useless.

And after Zhou Yang scolded for a while, his anger also disappeared a lot, and he couldn't help but look at him and waved his hand: "Okay, things have happened, it's useless to scold you again, then you explain to your son what you should do as a patriarch, just follow me to Liuyun Continent to cultivate the immortal realm, if you can succeed in marrying Dan, there will be a chance to return to the family in the future to wash away the stains, otherwise your life will be like this!"

"Nephew understands, Uncle Xie Jiu's grace!"

Zhou Guangxiang kowtowed three more times to thank him, and then withdrew from the cave and concentrated on teaching his son Zhou Tongxuan the way of being the patriarch.

In the next month, Zhou Yang conducted some individual conversations with those monks in the Zhou family who were in the late stage of foundation building to determine who could vigorously support them and help them open up the Purple Mansion.

In this way, after a series of conversations and examinations, he finally selected three Zhou family foundation monks as the objects of support.

These three Zhou family foundation monks are Zhou Rongfei, Zhou Rongzhen, and Zhou Shengfan, among which Zhou Rongfei and Zhou Rongzhen are on the ninth floor of the foundation, and they can try to open up the Purple Mansion at any time.

For Zhou Rongfei and Zhou Rongzhen, the two ninth-level cultivators who built the foundation, Zhou Yang directly emptied their family contribution points, and then asked them to borrow money and give them a [Purple Heart Chalcedony] to help them open up the Purple Mansion.

As for Zhou Rongfei, the eighth-layer foundation building monk, Zhou Yang used the "Qianyang Immortal Light" to help him refine the impurities in his body, and then gave him the elixir to help him be promoted to the ninth layer of foundation building in one fell swoop, and also gave him a [Purple Heart Chalcedony] to help him open up the Purple Mansion in the future.

After distributing three copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] in this way, Zhou Yang took out the other two copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] and stored them in the Zhou family's bloodline treasure house, and put them together with the original one inside, and by the way, he took out millions of lower grade spirit stones and more than a dozen upper grade spirit stones from the family treasure house and put them in his bag for later use.

As for the other ten [Purple Heart Chalcedony], Zhou Yang didn't plan to put it in the family right now, and he didn't even tell anyone the news.

This kind of thing is not very precious to him, but it is difficult to get so many at once.

If the monks in the family know that there are so many [Purple Heart Chalcedony] in the family, maybe someone will have some bad idea.

In this case, it is better not to say it at all, and just set a standard for them.

The standard for exchanging [Purple Heart Chalcedony] formulated by Zhou Yang is very simple, under normal circumstances, the foundation building monk needs 200,000 family contribution points to redeem.

However, if it is a high-grade spiritual root monk, or a person like Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang, Zhou Shenghe, and the three of them who are on the family's "Heroic List", as long as they pay half of the family contribution points, they can exchange for a [Purple Heart Chalcedony] in the form of a loan.

This standard is the same as that of the top great sect of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, which is equivalent to allowing all the monks of the Zhou family to enjoy the treatment of the disciples of the top great sect.

Zhou Yang can do this, and he is already worthy of anyone.

According to this standard, only Zhou Tongxuan, who has received a large number of family contribution points from Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang, has the ability to exchange for a [Purple Heart Chalcedony] in full.

But even if Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang transferred most of their family contribution points to him, because he had already used a piece of the family's [Purple Heart Chalcedony] last time, after making up for the contribution points required for this [Purple Heart Chalcedony], it would be impossible for him to exchange the third [Purple Heart Chalcedony] for the family contribution points in the next hundred years.

It will take a long time for these family cultivators to open up the Purple Mansion to produce results, and even if they succeed in opening up the Purple Mansion, it will take a lot of time to cultivate supernatural powers and stabilize the realm.

Therefore, Zhou Yang did not stay in the family to wait for the results, but only waited for Zhou Guangxiang for three months, and after he finished teaching his son, he took Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang and other seven Zhou family monks back to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.
