Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1070 - 479: Return Home [Subscription Request]

Qingxiao True Person has fallen!

When Zhou Chun learned this news, the worries that had arisen from the war ending too quickly all dissipated instantly. He felt refreshed and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was as if a huge stone that had always been pressing on his back was suddenly gone!

People always grow!

A hundred years ago, or even just decades ago, Green Lotus Temple was an enormous entity to Zhou Chun, and he dared not even think of the consequences of being enemies with it.

He knew that if he provoked Green Lotus Temple, just a few Golden Core Stage Cultivators could annihilate the Zhou Family.

But now, after experiencing the great battle between the Primordial Demon Legion and the Heavenly Spirit Legion, and personally fighting with Golden Core Stage Cultivators, Zhou Chun’s attitude toward Green Lotus Temple had undergone a tremendous change.

In his eyes, the only truly fearsome aspect of Green Lotus Temple was Qingxiao True Person.

This was not arrogance but a fact.

After all, in the Purple Mansion Phase Realm, he could be said to be invincible, and the only people he regarded were Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

And now, he was quite confident about reaching Core Formation, and in his heart, he already viewed himself as a Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

Furthermore, the Zhou Family had Lin Hongyu, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, and allies like the Su Family, a clan of Golden Core heritage.

Thus, even though these families’ collective number of Golden Core Stage Cultivators might not equal that of Green Lotus Temple, they were no longer entities that Green Lotus Temple could manipulate at will.

The premise being that Qingxiao True Person no longer existed!

However, before this, Green Lotus Temple still had Qingxiao True Person.

Because of the existence of this Nascent Soul Stage True Person, Zhou Chun, no matter how hard he racked his brains, could not think of a way to negotiate with Green Lotus Temple.

The things he had done before were only theoretically successful and might not actually turn out successful.

But now it was different.

Now with the fall of Qingxiao True Person, and Green Lotus Temple losing its only Nascent Soul Stage True Person, it practically lost the power to suppress other Golden Core families.

Previously, because of Qingxiao True Person’s presence, no matter how excessive Green Lotus Temple acted, other Golden Core families could only endure in silence, daring not to speak out.

After all, the power and longevity of a Nascent Soul Stage True Person far surpassed that of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, and no Golden Core Stage Cultivator could escape if he personally took action.

But now, without a Nascent Soul Stage True Person to intimidate them, even though Green Lotus Temple still had superior strength compared to other Golden Core families, it no longer had an overwhelming advantage.

If really pushed into desperation, Golden Core Stage Cultivators, sacrificing their families, could hide in the shadows and hunt Green Lotus Temple’s low and middle tier cultivators, causing massive losses and demoralization to Green Lotus Temple.

Therefore, once Qingxiao True Person had fallen, any Golden Core family when facing Green Lotus Temple had the qualifications to negotiate and set terms, no longer having to treat themselves as mere vassals to be commanded by Green Lotus Temple as before.

Zhou Chun had always been worried that after the war, Green Lotus Temple would find an excuse to target the Zhou Family, either overtly or covertly eliminating their high ranks, or even directly find an excuse to annihilate the Zhou Family.

Thus, he desperately made killings and merits on the battlefield, trying to use his eminent achievements to make Green Lotus Temple hesitant, not daring to easily use any frivolous crimes to annihilate the Zhou Family.

But this approach, effective or not, at least meant the initiative was not in the hands of the Zhou Family, but in the hands of Green Lotus Temple.

If Green Lotus Temple really decided to target the Zhou Family, in reality, the Zhou Family had no capacity to resist.

Now it was different!

Now with the fall of Qingxiao True Person, if Green Lotus Temple really moved against the Zhou Family, the Zhou Family would have a substantial capacity for retaliation!

Whether it was Lin Hongyu, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, or the Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation of the Zhou Family, they could all pose a threat to the Golden Core Stage Cultivators of Green Lotus Temple, not to mention the several allies of Golden Core families that the Zhou Family had.

Zhou Chun believed that as long as the Golden Core Stage Cultivators of Green Lotus Temple were not all insane, as long as the Zhou Family did not touch Green Lotus Temple’s core interests, they definitely would not immediately act against the Zhou Family openly right after the war ended.

As for covert actions, worst case scenario, the Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators of the Zhou Family would just not leave their family base after the war ended!

As long as he, Zhou Chun, succeeded in Core Formation, none of these problems would remain an issue.

"Not to mention, I also have this now!"

Zhou Chun looked at the Secret Manual in his hand, a joyful smile appearing on his face.

Then he quickly went to meet the Commandant, Wei Yong.

"This subordinate pays respects to Commandant."

Inside the great hall, Zhou Chun greeted with a bow, his face unable to hide the joy.

"You need not be overly formal, Zhengchun. With such joy on your face, could it be that you have encountered some good news?"

Wei Yong glanced at his expression, waved his hand gently, and asked with a smile.

"Ahem, it can’t really be considered good news, just something I wished to present to Commandant."

Zhou Chun coughed awkwardly twice and handed over the Secret Manual.

After all, Qingxiao True Person had died for a noble cause, and although Zhou Chun knew there must have been some dealings involved, he definitely couldn’t openly express happiness about his demise.

Even in front of Wei Yong, he couldn’t.

Fortunately, Wei Yong did not pry further and simply took the Secret Manual he handed over to look through.

Looking at it, Wei Yong’s expression also turned sour.
