Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming - Chapter 2434
Chapter 2434: Chapter 842: The Four Seas Are Pacified
Xuanwu Venerable, upon seeing this, opened his mouth and said, “I shall return to my cave residence to heal. We shall gather to taste tea and discuss the Dao in the future.”
With that, he departed.
At this moment, Ye Qingxuan suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and asked, “Taoist Friend Zhou, what about you? What are your plans next?”
Zhou Chun was slightly taken aback, then softly replied, “I still have some matters to attend to in the Demon Element Realm. Once they’re settled, I plan to return to my cave residence for secluded cultivation.”
“Mr. Ye understands. Taoist Friend Zhou, please proceed with your tasks first. I shall return to the sect.”
Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly and, speaking, left with his sword.
In a blink, only Tai Geng Divine Venerable and Zhou Chun remained on the scene.
After exchanging a glance, the two quickly went their separate ways.
After Zhou Chun returned to the Demon Element Realm from the Giant Stone Highlands, he headed straight for the Rotten Poison Swamp with a clear goal in mind.
When discussing the destruction of the Demon Element Realm previously, an old memory was reignited in his mind, specifically the secret realm of [Myriad Poisons Secret Realm] he had to abandon in the past.
Though the so-called treasures in the [Myriad Poisons Secret Realm] held little value for him now, eliminating this hidden danger in passing was feasible.
Due to his speed, it took no time for him to reach the entrance of the [Myriad Poisons Secret Realm] he destroyed back then.
Although he had destroyed the entrance of this secret realm at that time, its connection with this place was not entirely severed.
Perhaps Great Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators could not handle this, but to a Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator, everything was clear.
After a thorough investigation, Zhou Chun located the spatial fluctuations of the secret realm.
He then directly summoned the [Roc Soaring Sword], deploying its Sword Dao Divine Skills [Sky Severing], slashing toward a certain node.
Golden sword light tore through the underwater void, cutting a silver-grey slit in the void.
As soon as the slit formed, grey-black poisonous gas surged from it.
The poison gas merged into the waters, causing the nearby fish, prawns, and poisonous insects to die silently.
“Feng’er, you may enter.”
After carefully sensing and confirming the silver-grey slit was stable, Zhou Chun nodded to the Lustrous Demon Saint beside him, signaling for her to enter.
Under normal circumstances, most void secret realms cannot accommodate individuals with cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul Stage.
But clearly, these were not normal circumstances.
Furthermore, the [Myriad Poisons Secret Realm] itself was quite special, able to house the Great Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator [Myriad Poisons True Monarch].
Now, without considering the destruction of the secret realm, the Lustrous Demon Saint forcibly entering from outside presented no difficulty.
Upon receiving Zhou Chun’s instructions, the Lustrous Demon Saint nodded immediately, saying, “Rest assured, master, leave it all to me.”
She then transformed into a flame and entered the silver-grey slit.
Once inside the secret realm, she immediately saw the numerous poisoned corpses described by Yishan Monarch, and the Extremely Poisonous Ghost King.
Due to Zhou Chun forcefully opening the void secret realm entrance, the Extremely Poisonous Ghost King had awakened from its slumber.
However, it did not anticipate that who entered the void secret realm would be a Sixth Rank Demon Saint!
Upon sensing the unfathomable aura of the Lustrous Demon Saint, she had already begun cleansing the secret realm.
Endless Seven-Colored Glazed Flames descended in the secret realm’s space, turning all the poisoned corpses to ashes.
The Extremely Poisonous Ghost King spewed a dark green toxic flame to protect itself, attempting a desperate struggle.
Regrettably, the Lustrous Demon Saint showed no mercy, and with an open mouth spit, a flame penetrated through its layers of defense, reaching its ghostly body.
Soon after, the Extremely Poisonous Ghost King’s horrific screams echoed through the entire secret realm, transforming into a burning humanoid torch.
The vast difference in realms made all its tactics utterly futile.
Though it might have been nearly invincible at the fifth rank within this void secret realm, compared to a sixth rank Demon Saint, its power was negligible.
After effortlessly incinerating all corpses and ghosts within the secret realm, the Lustrous Demon Saint remembered Zhou Chun’s instructions and meticulously collected usable items from the secret realm.
Not long after, having gathered the usable items, she exited through the spatial slit from which she had arrived.
“Master, behold, Feng’er did not fail and has cleaned the place.”
Outside, upon the Lustrous Demon Saint flying back through the spatial slit, there was no concealment as she recounted all she had done within the void secret realm, handing all relevant gains over to Zhou Chun.
Despite [Myriad Poisons True Monarch] converting to the Ghost Path, many items left inside the secret realm remained usable.
The most precious was undoubtedly a Spiritual Treasure [Hundred Poisons Divine Banner], a treasure he used in life, capable of releasing Poison Path Divine Powers potent enough to unknowingly poison even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators!
Moreover, the poisoned corpses left numerous Poison Path-related Dharma Treasures.
The bone ashes left from burning those poisoned corpses were favored materials among poison technique cultivators.
Crucially, there was plenty of such ashes, sufficient for the Zhou Family’s poison cultivators to use for a considerable period.
Besides that, the stele inscribed with the “Myriad Poison True Scripture” was also brought out by the Lustrous Demon Saint, thus preserving the complete inheritance of the “Myriad Poison True Scripture” in the Zhou Family.
After surveying the items brought back by the Lustrous Demon Saint, Zhou Chun lightly nodded, secured the items, and left the Rotten Poison Swamp.
In the following two days, Zhou Chun circled around the Demon Element Realm, eliminating easily located Nascent Soul Late Stage and Nascent Soul Middle Stage Demon Cultivators, clearing obstacles for the human clan army that would follow.
After this round of cleansing, he returned to Kunwu Peak of Yu Country.
Not long after, the Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators of the Human Clan issued a decree to subdue demons, rallying the cultivation world to form a demon-subduing army to cross the Lifeless Desert and attack the Demon Element Realm.
However, since other Alien Race Regions were yet to be fully conquered and digested, the reaction from the cultivation world was minimal.
Especially the medium and small sects and loose cultivators showed little interest.
Everyone knew that subduing demon cultivators yielded no worthwhile spoils, purely a thankless endeavor.
They could be perfunctory, but some top major forces and great forces couldn’t evade it.
The decrees from Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators directly reached several top major forces, ordering them to initiate the demon-subduing army.
The Zhou Family was one among them!
This time, the Zhou Family spearheaded the attack on the Demon Element Realm, dispatching Silver Dragon Monarch and Deer Monarch, two Fifth Rank High-Grade Monster Kings, along with Zhou Zhiying, a disciple of the Divine Transformation Gate, personally overseeing it.
At this time, Zhou Chun finally agreed to the Ice Spirit True Person’s previous request, incorporating the former Moon Wheel Sect’s sacred grounds into the Zhou Family, establishing it as a branch of the family.
For this, his incarnation, Bingming True Person, personally went there to maintain stability.
This incursion into the Demon Element Realm was also a test issued by Zhou Chun to the current Zhou Family.
The saying goes, “To wear the crown, one must bear the weight.”
The Zhou Family, now viewed as the greatest human clan force, had garnered the attention of all major human clan powers.
Though subduing the Demon Element Realm is indeed a thankless task, with no one willing to undertake it, by leading this endeavor, the Zhou Family would earn immense praise in terms of righteousness.
Once accomplished, all doubts regarding the Zhou Family would be silenced.
Internally within the Zhou Family, this expedition against the Demon Element Realm was also an opportunity to assess the family’s strength.
Clearly identifying which members were merely for show and which were worth nurturing, the war would reveal all.
With Zhou Chun overseeing and providing ultimate support, even if the war’s toll was heavy, the Zhou Family could bear it entirely!
