Myriad Realms Gu Venerable

Chapter 214 Ouroboros

Zhou Ming lived in the family.

The difference in status affects all aspects. Naturally, he can no longer live in the previous house. Zhou Qitian has prepared a new residence for him. It is a single-family courtyard at the core of the family.

Although the first conversation between the two was not very pleasant, Zhou Qitian did not neglect him in a rude manner.

Although he didn't take the initiative to reveal his identity, his reputation spread quickly through word of mouth, and almost everyone in the Zhou family knew that there was a rank five Gu master in the family.

Because of Zhou Ming's instructions, Zhou Hao and the others did not publicize any information about him to the outside world, and kept it secret no matter who asked. Therefore, the identity of this mysterious fifth-level Gu master in the family caused a lot of discussion within the family.

However, the most sensational event in the family was not Zhou Ming's return, but the visit of the head of the Yuan family in person.

In the past few days, the entire family has been busy with this matter, preparing for the visit with the highest standard of arrangement.

After all, the Yuan family is not only the Golden Family, but also one of the superpowers in Beiyuan.

The two most important conditions for becoming a super power, one is that there must be Gu Immortals in the family, and the other is that there must be enough resources.

Without Gu Immortal, even with huge resources, it would be impossible to defend it, and it would soon be carved up like hungry wolves by the surrounding enemies.

Without enough resources, Gu Immortals can't build a powerful family.The resources here are not just certain resource points, the population of the family is also part of the resources.

Immortal Juyang left many heirs. After so many years of spreading branches and leaves in Beiyuan, there are many golden families, but there are only thirteen superpowers in the golden family.

The Liu family, the Yelu family, the Shan Yu family, the Meng family, the Yuan family, the Twenty-two family, the Murong family, the Guan family, the Nuer family, the Gong family, the Yao family, the Hei family, and the Dongfang family.

These thirteen schools together constitute the most important part of the North Plains Righteous Path.

……

Seven days later, the Yuan family came to visit.

Yuan Tianshu is in his thirties, gentle and elegant. Compared with the head of the Golden Family, he looks more like a teacher, and there is no trace of the Yuan family's martial demeanor.

On the other hand, the guards following Yuan Tianshu were all powerful, with piercing eyes, full of energy, and quite the air of warriors.

The Zhou family was decorated with lights and festoons, and it was very lively. A grand banquet was going on, and the atmosphere was very warm.

"Mr. Yuan, come, please fill up this cup!" Zhou Qitian raised his glass to Yuan Tianshu.

Speaking of which, Yuan Tianshu also has a strange temper. He doesn't like others to call him the head of the Yuan family. Instead, he has publicly asked others to call him Mr. Yuan many times.

Although others did not understand the meaning, they were unwilling to go against his wishes, so they all addressed him as Mr. Yuan.

"Thank you, the head of the Zhou family." Yuan Tianshu picked up the wine glass and drank it down, immediately attracting applause from all the halls.

Putting down his wine glass, Yuan Tianshu looked around the Zhou family members, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Zhou family has many good men, I wonder if the head of the Zhou family would like to introduce Tianshu?"

"Mr. Yuan shows love, but it's a shame." Zhou Qitian bowed slightly, and then began to introduce each of the Zhou family members to Yuan Tianshu one by one.

Those who can sit here are all elders of the Zhou family, with at least Rank [-] cultivation. Zhou Qitian introduced them one by one from near to far. Yuan Tianshu nodded and smiled at each one, with a friendly attitude, which made these Zhou family Gu Masters quite flattered. feeling.

After the introduction, Zhou Ming, who was sitting next to him, did not introduce him.

Zhou Ming didn't care too much, and just poured and drank wine by himself, showing the aloofness and arrogance of a young man.

Yuan Tianshu had long noticed that this young man who was too young and maverick was able to sit next to Zhou Qitian. Now that Zhou Qitian introduced him but did not introduce him, he couldn't help asking: "I don't know how this young man is?" Joon's name?"

Zhou Qitian smiled and said, "I am about to introduce Mr. Yuan, this is the next patriarch of my clan, Zhou Ming!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.

Not only Yuan Tianshu was surprised, but Zhou's family members were all surprised, and even Zhou Ming was slightly taken aback.

No one would have thought that Zhou Qitian would say such a thing. This sentence exploded like a depth bomb, without even a hint of warning.

Yuan Tianshu put down his wine glass, concealed his gaffe, and said in surprise: "The head of the Zhou family is in his prime, why did he decide on the next head so early?"

It stands to reason that even if the heir has been chosen, he is still practicing as a young clan leader. How could he directly promise the position of clan leader?

Moreover, judging from the reactions of the Zhou family members, it was obvious that they had just learned the news just like me.

The inside story really made Yuan Tianshu quite curious.

Zhou Qitian laughed and said, "Mr. Yuan doesn't know. In fact, almost no one in the family knows about it. Zhou Ming is my successor who was secretly cultivated. I have no children in my life, and I have been the patriarch for 20 years. Now Zhou Ming is also as powerful as me, so it's time to let him take power!"

"What!" Zhou Qitian's words were like another thunderbolt. Yuan Tianshu forgot to hide his surprised expression and looked at Zhou Ming blankly.

"Isn't the head of the Zhou family making fun of me? This little friend Zhou Ming has a cultivation base of rank five? How old is he this year?"

"It's the pinnacle of Rank 17." Zhou Qitian corrected, "As for the age...he got enlightened the year before last and just turned [-] this year!"

The new year has just passed, and now it is late January, not counting the past life, nor the time in the plot world and blessed land, Zhou Ming is indeed just 17 years old, and he has not even celebrated his 17th birthday.

Yuan Tianshu was even more surprised. He looked at the silent and arrogant Zhou Ming, without blinking his eyes.

I just heard Zhou Qitian say: "To be honest with Mr. Yuan, this child Zhou Ming has a hard life. Both his parents died when he was young, and he grew up in a family. He doesn't want to achieve much, but only wants to become a Gu master and live his life in peace and stability. .”

"Who would have thought that...after I became enlightened, I discovered that this child is actually a top-notch physique!"

"Well, it's true that the Ten Jue Physiques' aptitude is outstanding, which allowed him to have such a cultivation level at such a young age. But the crisis of the Ten Jue Physiques is well known to everyone, and in order for him to continue his life, I don't know how many hardships and hardships he has gone through..."

Zhou Qitian's words were vague, and those who didn't know thought it was him, Zhou Qitian, who was suffering and trying to keep Zhou Ming alive!
Zhou Ming understood Zhou Qitian's intention in his heart, it was nothing more than finding a plausible excuse for his public appearance, as for whether others believed it or not?Then ignore it.

"So that's how it is!" Yuan Tianshu poured a glass of wine with a bewildered expression of conviction, and said in a respect from a distance: "This glass is to the talented young man of the Zhou family, and also to the head of the Zhou family who has devoted all his energy to the family. Come on, do it!" !"

A banquet was once again pushed to a fiery peak. Yuan Tianshu toasted frequently and got drunk. After the banquet was over, he was arranged to rest in the highest-level guest room of the Zhou family.

Zhou Qitian left Zhou Ming, who was about to leave, to discuss matters in his study.

"What do you think of the Yuan family?" Zhou Qitian asked bluntly.

"Super power, what do I think?" Zhou Ming said lightly, "I'm just curious. Didn't the Yuan family not participate in the recent royal court battles? Why are they suddenly interested in this one?"

"Super power, how could I guess?" Zhou Qitian chuckled, and returned the same words to Zhou Ming.

"Don't you want to participate in the Heroes Conference? This is an opportunity. The Yuan family is powerful, and the Tianchuan Heroes Conference has few rivals. It is the best person for you to support."

"Ha, I probably guessed it." Zhou Ming sneered and said, "Yuan Tianshu has extended an olive branch to you a long time ago, right? You are guarding Nuanchi Valley, there is no need to attend the Heroes Conference, and you directly rejected Yuan Tianshu because of his poor status. , Zhengchou didn’t know how to deal with it, and I just happened to appear at this time... Haha, just get off the slope and push me out, which not only saves the family, but also gives Yuan Tianshu an answer, killing two birds with one stone, getting the best of both worlds, easy to calculate. "

"You don't have to say that. Whether this matter can happen or not is up to you. If you don't want to, what can I do?" Zhou Qitian looked at Zhou Ming and said calmly: "Besides, what I said today was not a lie. I really meant it. Let you be the patriarch of the family."

"Ten years later? Or 20 years later?" Zhou Ming sarcastically said, "I became the patriarch, what are you doing? Are you willing to retire?"

Zhou Qitian fell silent, and said after a while: "Anyway, it won't hurt you, don't forget, you are from the Zhou family."

The five domains of the Gu world, except Zhongzhou, all attach great importance to the family. There may be disputes and strife in the family, but no matter what, the clansmen are their own people, and they will always be closer than outsiders outside the family. In Beiyuan, it is more vivid and extreme.

The Juyang Immortal Venerable back then had personally said such famous sayings as "Family in the world" and "Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes".

……

Southern Xinjiang, a blessed land of life and death.

An old man, dressed in a black robe, exuding the faint aura of a rank seven Gu Immortal, sat quietly cross-legged on the futon.

His face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were pitch black, without the slightest white.

In front of him, lay a purple-skinned man. He was tall, breathed heavily, his eyes were closed, and he was unconscious.

Opposite the old man, there were two Gu Immortals sitting. One of them said: "We worked hard to catch this alive. This group of extraterrestrial demons is really difficult to deal with. Their methods are weird and complicated. If you hadn't calculated in advance with the inkstone, It’s really hard to save his life by setting a trap.”

"Hehe, this is natural. After all, this is a complete demon from outside the sky that came directly from outside the territory."

Old Man Yanshi laughed, stretched out his withered old right hand, and gently stroked the man's face.

"Now, our new plan can finally start."

"Jump out of the Gu world and move towards a more grand and infinite world of possibilities."

"The road to eternal life will eventually be discovered by me!"

……

Northern Plains.

On the second day after the Yuan family visited the Zhou family, the Zhou family held another banquet, and the atmosphere was even more lively than yesterday.

In just one day, Yuan Tianshu wrote down all the people introduced by Zhou Qitian yesterday, and toasted them one by one. In his capacity, he was able to do this, which really made everyone in the Zhou family tremble with sincerity, joy and pride in their hearts.

During the banquet, Yuan Tianshu made no secret of his enthusiasm for Zhou Ming, and frequently raised his glass of wine to him. Zhou Ming didn't feel any disturbance in his heart, but on the surface he still had to act as if he was flattered, and because of the young man's arrogance, he forcibly suppressed his joy. , fell into Yuan Tianshu's eyes, and he was more or less sure of his purpose in his heart.

On the third day, something even more sensational happened in the Zhou family.

A large amount of supplies from the Yuan family were brought in from distant places, and rows of black-skinned fat beetles were sent to the Zhou family, including various Gu insects and materials, including some rare Gu insects, and even rank four and rank five Gu insects. have.

This spectacular scene surprised the whole Zhou family even more, and they cast more fiery eyes on Yuan Tianshu who was standing on a high place watching this scene.

"Hahaha, head of the Zhou family, my batch of supplies set off with me, but the transportation of the supplies was slow, so I arrived one step ahead. I didn't expect to wait for three days to arrive."

Yuan Tianshu was speaking to Zhou Qitian who was standing beside him, and at the same time, he was speaking to the many members of the Zhou family below.

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan, our Zhou family was able to get assistance from the Yuan family, and finally we were able to get through this blizzard safely." Zhou Qitian sighed with half-fake and half-truth.

Without the supplies from the Yuan family, the Zhou family would not be able to weather the storm, but with this batch of supplies, the Zhou family would definitely be able to relax and avoid many unnecessary sacrifices.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, this is what I agreed with the head of the Zhou family at the beginning. My Yuan family has never been stingy with allies fighting side by side!"

Yuan Tianshu deliberately amplified his voice so that the Zhou family members below could hear his words clearly.

Sure enough, the complexions of many members of the Zhou family changed again and again. First they were surprised, then pleasantly surprised, and then became solemn.

Being an ally of the Yuan family would be a great thing in normal times, but now that a ten-year blizzard is approaching, and the Heroes Conference is just around the corner, how can you be an ally of the Yuan family at this time?Isn't that just serving as cannon fodder for the Yuan family to go to war!

As soon as they figured out the joint, the joy that had just risen in the hearts of some tribesmen disappeared, and the first reaction was to object.

However, Zhou Qitian did not give these people a chance to speak.

"This is natural." Zhou Qitian said loudly: "The Heroes Conference will be held soon. This is a prosperous time for the entire Northern Plains. Naturally, our clan can't stay out of it! After the decision of the clan meeting, the next patriarch Zhou Ming will lead a team to participate in the Heroes Conference. Those who are willing to participate can sign up by themselves! We will follow in the footsteps of the Yuan family, conquer the north and the south, and let the reputation of our Zhou family spread throughout the northern plains!"

……

heaven.

The Master of the Supervision Tower slowly opened his eyes.

Compared with before, the Master of the Sky Monitoring Tower is now even older. He is like a candle in the wind, and he doesn't know when it will be extinguished.

"You should take a rest, there is no need to work so hard." Bai Cangshui advised from opposite him.

"It's okay, it's okay." The master of Jiantian Pagoda waved his hands with difficulty, but a smile appeared on his old face: "I have lived long enough, and the end of my life is my destiny. Better to waste it for nothing."

He said, handing an Immortal Gu in his hand to Bai Cangshui.

Bai Cangshui took it, and saw that the Immortal Gu was quite strange, it was a ouroboros, emerald green, cool and cool in his hand, like emerald jade, but it was always wriggling, constantly devouring his own tail , but the body did not shorten by half.

"An Immortal Gu completely refined from the outer Dao marks." The Master of the Supervisory Sky Tower smiled happily: "Although I haven't figured out its specific function yet, I have a feeling that it will have a great impact on repairing the Fate Gu. use!"

　Guess the function of this Gu?
