Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

As the secret of ascension was revealed by Venerable Changchun, all the human cultivators in the Divine Transformation Stage fell into silence.

The cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage have already reached the highest level of cultivation in this world, and are the ones with the greatest hope of ascending to the upper realms.

But now, for ascending to the upper realm, cultivation is not even the key factor. The key is whether one can obtain guidance on the path to ascension!
This is very frustrating indeed.

"So, Fellow Daoist Changchun, what are your plans next?"

After being silent for an unknown period of time, Venerable Guanghan looked at Venerable Changchun and asked in a low voice.

Hearing her question, Changchun Zun immediately gave a bitter smile and replied: "Senior Yuanzun said that even if there is no corpse of a sixth-level strongman, he will be able to come out after waiting for another hundred years. This old man has waited for thousands of years, so I just need to wait another hundred years!!"

"A hundred years is indeed not a long time. With Fellow Daoist Changchun's longevity, he should be able to wait."

Venerable Guanghan nodded and forced a smile to comfort him.

After that, everyone talked for a few more words and then dispersed.

When they left, Taigeng Divine Lord, Zhou Chun and Ye Qingxuan went to Kunwu Peak of Yu State together.

The fact that the three of them walked the same path and had close relations was a well-known fact in the circle of cultivators in the God Transformation Stage.

But not long after the three returned to Zhou Chun's cave this time, a Jindan stage cultivator was secretly led by Zhou Chun into his cave.

When this Jindan-stage cultivator, who was covered in a black robe, saw Zhou Chun and the other two, he did not bow or pay his respects. Instead, he said to them in a low voice, "I am very pleased to see that you three are here. I am also very grateful for your trust."

Zhou Chun and the other two were not unfamiliar with this voice, because it was the voice of Venerable Changchun!

It is obvious that this Jindan stage cultivator is an incarnation of Venerable Changchun!

"Senior Changchun, you are too polite. Since you have summoned me, we naturally dare not neglect you."

Tai Geng Divine Venerable answered on behalf of the three people, then looked at the Chang Chun Venerable's clone in front of him with a puzzled look and asked, "But I don't know what instructions you have for summoning the three of us privately this time?"

However, the clone of Changchun Venerable slowly said: "The three Taoist friends are all outstanding people of our human race, and they are all people with great righteousness. It is also the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period. After thinking about it, I think only the three Taoist friends are worthy of trust in this matter!"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Chun and the other two became even more curious. Zhou Chun couldn't help but say, "What kind of a big deal is this that deserves such attention from Senior Changchun!"

“Hunting Yuan Zun!!!”

The clone of Venerable Changchun looked directly at the three people and slowly uttered these four words.

In an instant, the expressions of the three people changed drastically, and they looked at him in shock, almost suspecting that they had heard it wrongly.

"Senior Changchun, did you just say to hunt Yuan Zun? I didn't hear it wrong!"

The Divine Master Tai Geng pursed his lips and exclaimed in shock.

"You heard it right, it's about hunting Yuan Zun!"

The clone of Venerable Changchun nodded slightly and uttered the four words "hunt Yuan Zun" again.

"Why? Senior Changchun, what do you mean by this?"

Zhou Chun asked in confusion, his tone full of doubt.

However, the clone of Changchun Venerable said slowly: "I suspect that Yuan Zun may have some problems with his condition after such a long sleep. After all, tens of thousands of years is an extremely long time even for a cultivator in the Void Refining Stage, not to mention that the laws of this world have also changed!"

“I’m not afraid to tell you that after I broke through to the late stage of the Spiritualization, I found myself restricted by the will of the Great Dao of this world and could not really use my strength at the late stage of the Spiritualization. Later, I learned a secret method from Yuan Zun, which allowed me to forcibly release my strength for a period of time at a certain price.”

"And I have read the classics over the years, and through my previous communication with the [Northern Dark Kun], I have determined that this kind of situation did not exist in ancient times, or in other words, this kind of situation in ancient times would only occur to people with higher cultivation!"

"From this, we can know that the laws of this world have changed a lot compared to the ancient times. People like Yuan Zun, who have been sleeping since the ancient times and are essentially cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage, are restricted by the laws of this world and are undoubtedly more powerful!"

"So he collected the corpses of the sixth-level strongmen in this world, probably not for the purpose of reuniting his Dao body, but to find a way to resolve his own predicament by analyzing and comprehending the Dao laws in the bodies of those sixth-level strongmen!"

Having said that, the incarnation of Changchun Reverend raised his hand and suppressed the words that Zhou Chun and the others were about to say.

"My three Taoist friends, please don't be anxious. Let me talk slowly."

Then he continued, "If Yuan Zun is really in trouble as I said, because of the changes in the laws of this world, and he needs to find a solution through other samples, then the human cultivators like me in the Divine Transformation Stage will become his potential prey!"

"This is not an exaggeration, but something that is definitely possible!"

“Think carefully, my three Taoist friends. For a powerful being like Yuan Zun who came from the upper realm to this world, would he really care about the lives of the natives of this world like us? He is also a person who is going to ascend to the upper realm. Even if he kills all the living beings in this world, no one in the upper realm will know his evil deeds and it is impossible to punish him!”

“Perhaps in his eyes, since we cultivators in this world have no hope of ascending to the higher realms and will eventually die, it would be better for us to become his cultivation nourishment for returning to the upper realms!”

After these words were spoken, Zhou Chun and the other two's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with surprise and suspicion.

The clone of Changchun Venerable continued at this moment: "Instead of waiting for Yuan Zun to slowly adapt to the laws of this world and take us as prey, we might as well strike first and see what he is like!"

"I know that words alone are not enough to prove anything. It would be a bit unreasonable to ask the three Taoist friends to take the risk of hunting Yuan Zun based on my personal guess alone."

“But please rest assured, my three Taoist friends. I am not a reckless person. Before doing this, I have made all kinds of plans and even contacted the [Northern Dark Kun] for help!”

“Even if I cannot kill Yuan Zun by then, I will force him to leave this world!”

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, signaling everyone that they could speak.

Upon seeing this, Divine Venerable Tai Geng immediately asked, "Senior Changchun, let's not talk about whether your guess is true or not. You just said that you contacted that [Northern Darkness Black Kun]. Does this mean that when you led us to attack Longyuanze, you had already anticipated this result?"

Hearing this, the clone of Changchun Venerable immediately replied: "Half and half, I was thinking at the time that if I could severely injure that [Northern Dark Mysterious Kun], or even kill the Golden Horned Dragon Saint, I could still continue to fight with Yuan Zun. Unfortunately, I still underestimated the strength of [Northern Dark Mysterious Kun]!"

“However, it was also because of the previous battle that [Beiming Xuankun] witnessed the strength of our human race’s divine transformation team, which laid the foundation for my negotiation with him!”

After he finished speaking, Zhou Chun immediately asked, "I would also like to ask Senior Changchun, you just said that you contacted that [Northern Darkness Black Kun] to hunt Yuan Zun together, and you are ready to leave this world with Yuan Zun in the worst case scenario. After you leave, won't [Northern Darkness Black Kun] be uncontrollable?"

After hearing his question, the clone of Changchun Reverend also nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou's worries are not unreasonable, so I will let that [Northern Dark Mysterious Kun] ascend together with me. His cultivation has also reached the pinnacle of this world, so it is not difficult to let him ascend!"

"I have a question for you, too. Why did Senior Changchun only invite three of us to hunt Yuan Zun? Why didn't he invite other Taoist friends?"

When Ye Qingxuan heard this, he also asked the question in his mind in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, the clone of the Venerable Changchun shook his head and said, "That's not the case. In addition to the three Daoists, I also contacted Daoist Guanghan. As for Daoist Xuanwu and Daoist Lingfeng, to be honest, I don't trust them. I'm worried that they might leak the news, so I simply stopped contacting them!"

At this point, he also looked at Zhou Chun and the other two and said, "This matter is indeed dangerous and unpredictable. If you three Taoist friends disagree, I will not force you. I just hope that you three Taoist friends will not leak the news!"

When Zhou Chun and the other two saw this, they looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.

This matter is indeed extremely risky, and they have no choice but to treat it with caution.

Venerable Changchun also knew that this matter was of great importance and did not urge him.

He knew that the three of them must have enough time to communicate with each other and make a decision after weighing the pros and cons.

After an unknown amount of time, it seemed that they had finally come to an agreement. The three of them nodded to each other, and then Tai Geng Divine Master spoke up: "Senior Changchun, please understand. After discussing this matter, the three of us unanimously agreed to agree to it, but we also need Senior Changchun to give us some guarantees!"

"Oh, but what kind of guarantee do you want? Just ask for whatever you want!"

The eyes of the clone of Venerable Changchun flashed, and he spoke lightly.

However, Tai Geng Divine Venerable slowly said, "Our conditions are mainly divided into four points. First, Senior Changchun must open your private library to us and tell us all the secrets and experiences of breaking through the realms that you know, so that we can learn more about the various secrets from ancient times to the present."

"Second, once you, Senior Changchun, ascend to heaven, Changchun Valley and your personal treasures will be at our disposal!"

"Third, once this is done, all favors between us and you will be written off, and we will no longer owe you a cent!"

"Fourth, we reserve the right to retreat. Once Yuan Zun's strength becomes beyond our ability to resist, we can all escape without having to fight to the death!"

After he finished speaking, the three of them stared at the clone of Lord Changchun, waiting for his answer.

The clone of Changchun Venerable only hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, these conditions are not excessive, I can agree to you!"

Seeing that he agreed, Tai Geng Divine Master, Zhou Chun and the other three immediately responded in unison: "In this case, we have no doubts. We will leave it to Senior Changchun to order us!"

"Very good. Thank you for your trust and support. I will take out my private collection of books and give them to you later. If you want to know any secrets, you can just ask me directly!"

The incarnation of Lord Changchun nodded with satisfaction and immediately fulfilled the agreement.

Next, with the incarnation of Changchun Venerable answering everything, Zhou Chun and the other two took turns asking questions, asking all the difficult and miscellaneous questions that had accumulated.

After asking and answering questions like this for nearly half a month, the three people stopped asking questions when they were sure they had no more questions.

At this time, the clone of Changchun Venerable also began to talk about his own plan. A few days later, Changchun Venerable's personal collection of books was transported to the Zhou family, and then several copies were made and handed over to Taigeng Divine Venerable and Ye Qingxuan.

After receiving part of the benefits paid in advance, Taigeng Divine Lord and Ye Qingxuan returned to their own caves first.

According to Venerable Changchun's plan, they would have to wait for a while before setting off.

After Zhou Chun had arranged for Changchun Zun's personal collection of books, he thought for a long time and finally decided not to tell his close friends about the hunt for Yuan Zun.

It’s not that he was worried about these close people leaking the secret, but that he didn’t want these people to worry about him.

He planned to let his avatar inform these close people of the relevant situation after he set off.

After making this decision, Zhou Chun suddenly thought of something and immediately asked the spirit of the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] in his body: "Fellow Daoist Wuhen, do you know Yuan Zun?"

He didn't have high expectations at first and just wanted to give it a try, but the answer from Qi Ling Wuhen gave him a surprise.

“Yuan Zun? Wuhen’s memory does contain information about a powerful Yuan Tianshangzun who descended to the world, but I don’t know if this person is the Yuan Zun mentioned by the master!”

After hearing this answer, Zhou Chun's face lit up, and he immediately said, "There are so few great powers descending to the world, it is most likely this person. Fellow Daoist Wuhen, please tell me the information of this Yuan Tian Shang Zun!"

Upon hearing this, the weapon spirit Wuhen replied again: "Yuan Tian Shangzun is a great power who descended to the world in ancient times. It is said that he has successfully refined the void in the upper world, but I don't know why he came to this world, it seems that he is looking for some treasure!"

"In ancient times, this Yuan Tian Shang Zun and another great master in the Lianxu period who also descended to the world had a fight. Both of them seemed to have suffered serious injuries and were forced to return to the upper realm!"

Zhou Chun was originally listening attentively, but after hearing this, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly stopped and said, "Wait, you said that Yuan Tian Shang Zun returned to the upper realm? Are you sure?"

"This is the information I got from Master Jiu Yuan. It should be true!"

The spirit of the weapon, Wuhen, replied with some uncertainty.

It is just a spirit, so how can it verify the authenticity of information? All the information it knows comes from several masters.

Zhou Chun also knew this, so he did not ask whether the news was true or not. Instead, he fell into deep thought about what the spirit of the weapon said.

To be honest, Zhou Chun didn't particularly believe in Lord Changchun's guess. He just thought it was a means for the other party to ascend to heaven.

However, if the information given by the spirit of the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] is correct, then the true identity of this "Yuan Zun" is really worth questioning!

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun hesitated for a while and then asked his incarnation to go to Changchun Valley immediately to inform Changchun Venerable of the news he had just learned.

"I would like to ask, where did Brother Zhou get this news?"

In Changchun Valley, after learning the information about "Yuan Tian Shang Zun" from Zhou Chun's incarnation, Changchun Zun's expression changed slightly, and he asked him about the source of the information.

Zhou Chun also thought about this, and immediately let the incarnation answer: "To be honest, Senior Changchun, I was fortunate enough to obtain a broken Tongtian Lingbao a few years ago, but the spirit of the weapon had been dormant because of the loss of too much spiritual power. It was not until I succeeded in becoming a spirit that it was revived."

"Because this spiritual treasure is also a treasure from ancient times, the spirit of the weapon knows a lot of information from ancient times. I asked it about Yuan Zun with the idea of ​​giving it a try, but I didn't expect to get such an unexpected gain!"

Hearing his answer, Changchun Zun's eyes suddenly fixed, and he looked at him meaningfully and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou is very blessed. Generally speaking, weapon spirits like these that know some ancient secrets are not ordinary treasures in ancient times!"

After saying that, he nodded and said, "I know about this matter. If it is true as Brother Zhou said, then my previous speculation is more supported by facts, and we don't have to worry about that Yuan Zun being able to use the methods of a cultivator in the Void Refining Stage!"

Zhou Chun himself heard this and immediately replied respectfully: "Senior Changchun, it is enough for you to know this. I will not bother you any more."

Then he said goodbye and left.

Five years later, the demon-hunting army that had set out on an expedition to the Meta-Demon Realm finally completed its mission, destroyed all of the Giant God's settlements, and wiped out most of their members!
That's basically enough.

In the future, as long as the Demon Suppression Corps in the Yuanmo Realm continues to sweep the Stone Highlands, the Giant God Clan can basically be prevented from rising again.

After completing their mission, the demon-fighting army chose to return to the capital.

Not long after, Zhou Chun met the returning Silver Dragon Lord, Lu Yuan Lord and Zhou Zhiying on Kunwu Peak.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years. From now on, you should all have a good rest in the family. You won't have to go to the front line in the future!"

Inside the cave, after listening to his beloved pet and apprentice telling about some thrilling things they encountered during the demon-hunting process, Zhou Chun comforted them with a gentle face.

Then he gave the several spiritual treasures he had obtained from the Divine Lord Tai Geng to his beloved pets and disciples.

After the spiritual energy tide of heaven and earth arrived, the rich spiritual energy also gave rise to many rare and precious spiritual objects. Over the years, the Zhou family has discovered and collected many rare and precious objects that can be used to refine spiritual treasures.

Zhou Chun himself did not have the ability or energy to refine them at the moment, so he used these spiritual objects to exchange for some spiritual treasures in Taigeng Divine Lord's stock.

Anyway, for the Divine Lord Taigeng, these spiritual treasures are of no use. The reason for refining them is just to hone his refining skills.

After accompanying his relatives and friends for another half a year, Zhou Chun received a message from Venerable Changchun, informing them that they could set off.

That day, Zhou Chun quietly left Kunwu Peak without informing anyone.

He traveled westward and soon arrived at the territory of Xia State, which was adjacent to Nieling Canyon.

At this time, the Glazed Demon Saint also rushed here from the Tianhuo Gate to meet up with him.

After waiting for half a day, Zhou Chun finally saw Taigeng Divine Master and Ye Qingxuan.

After the three of them met in a small market, Tai Geng Divine Venerable began to speak: "We are all here, but we don't know if that [Northern Dark Mysterious Kun] will come! He is so huge and his aura is so amazing, even if he comes, it may be difficult for him to hide his body!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun immediately responded: "Since Senior Changchun has decided to bring this monster in, I think he has been prepared for this and will definitely find a way to help him solve this problem!"

"The only question now is whether he will agree to come!"

After the words fell, Ye Qingxuan said softly: "Wait, wait for news from Senior Changchun!"

Then the three of them looked at each other and waited patiently.

After Venerable Changchun and Zhou Chun and others arrived, they soon appeared in the Nie Ling Canyon.

The difference is that this time, in addition to himself, there is also the incarnation of the Green Robe Venerable.

His original body and his avatar came to the two stone doors together. His original body said loudly, "Senior Yuanzun, I am here again. This time, I have brought you two corpses of cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage as you asked!"

Soon after the words fell, the voice of the mysterious "Yuan Zun" was heard: "Two corpses of cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage? Isn't there only one in your storage bag? What about the other one..."

There was also a hint of doubt in his words.

But the Changchun Master said in a deep voice: "Of course there is also this incarnation of my junior!"

This answer surprised the "Yuan Zun" a little, and he couldn't help but ask: "Oh, you would rather sacrifice your own incarnation than kill one more person?"

Then he smiled and said, "Forget it, since you are willing, why should I care so much!"

"In that case, hand over everything!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gray vortex appeared on the two stone doors.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Changchun took out a female corpse from his storage bag without hesitation and threw it and the Venerable Green Robe into the gray vortex.

The female corpse was actually the Reverend Guanghan! !

After swallowing the corpse of Venerable Guanghan and Venerable Green Robe, the gray vortex quickly dissipated without causing any damage to the stone gate. It was truly extraordinary and magical.

But just a dozen breaths after the gray vortex disappeared, two extremely strong energy waves suddenly erupted from deep within the stone gate.

Boom boom boom!

The roar of two huge explosions echoed throughout most of the Nie Ling Canyon.

Zhou Chun and others who were in the territory of Xia State clearly saw the white and green spiritual light rising from the depths of Nie Ling Canyon, and the entire earth was shaking!
Seeing this, the three people and one monster immediately rushed towards the place where the explosion occurred at full speed.

At the same time, in a large lake in the Xia Kingdom, the [Bei Ming Xuan Kun], which was thousands of feet long, suddenly rushed out of the lake, like a blue meteor that streaked across the sky and shot towards the center of the explosion deep in the Nie Ling Canyon.

"How dare you, youngster! You are courting death!!"

The angry roar echoed violently in Lord Changchun's heart.

However, he no longer had the awe he had before, and instead a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then he unleashed the secret technique passed down by the other party without hesitation, releasing all his strength! (End of this chapter)
