Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Time passed, and soon the joint martial competition among the five major cultivation families was held at Jiufeng Ridge of the Zhou Family Mountain.

Although it was a joint martial competition among the five major cultivation families, because the Mu Family of Biyun Mountain had encountered a great calamity, this time they could only play a supporting role.

The Zhou Family, in order to make this event successful, also invited many friendly forces to attend.

Among them were the Elixir Li Family and the Formation You Family, with whom they had previously fostered good relations.

As the Zhou Family at Jiufeng Ridge had now started to develop both visibly and impressively, these two families began to pay more attention to their friendship with the Zhou Family and gradually increased their interactions.

The main reason was that Green Lotus Temple was no longer as wary of them as before, and even if they interacted with each other, there was no longer concern that they would recombine into a single force.

"Chongshan brother, speaking of today’s grand event, how come Brother Daoyi is not hosting it? It’s been more than ten years since I last saw Daoyi brother, and I truly miss him!"

Upon arriving, a representative of the You Family—a late Foundation Establishment cultivator named You Jinfang—saw that today’s event was hosted by Zhou Chun, a young man from the Zhou Family whom he had never met. He couldn’t help but frown and showed a slight surprise as he inquired to Zhou Chongshan, the second elder of the Zhou Family, about the whereabouts of Zhou Daoyi, the Clan Leader of the Zhou Family.

"The Clan Leader is currently in closed-door cultivation, trying to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and thus he is not able to host this grand event."

Zhou Chongshan replied calmly and then stated with a firm tone, "Moreover, Zhengchun is the next Clan Leader of our Zhou Family. Having him host this grand event is quite appropriate, we believe."

He naturally detected the disdain for Zhou Chun in You Jinfang’s words, and that’s why he firmly defended Zhou Chun’s status at this moment.

You Jinfang was taken aback by his words, then gave a faint smile and chose not to continue the conversation. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Such an attitude made Zhou Chongshan even more displeased.

It was true that he had been a student of a You Family cultivator, but that didn’t mean he would sit idly by while the You Family belittled the Zhou Family.

Moreover, when he was studying, the Zhou Family paid his tuition in full, so they didn’t owe too much to the You Family.

"Young friend Zhengchun is indeed quite remarkable. I’ve also heard of his name in the Li Family. The emergence of such an excellent younger generation in the Zhou Family is truly enviable!"

Just then, a representative of the Li Family, a cultivator named Li Cunguang, smiled and spoke, lightening the mood and providing Zhou Chongshan with a way out.

Compared to the You Family, the relationship between the Li Family and the Zhou Family was deeper and their cooperation much closer.

Thus, the Li Family cultivators had a better understanding of the current situation of the Zhou Family.

The fact that Zhou Chun, the vice clan leader, had been overseeing the family affairs for several years was something Li Cunguang had heard about long ago.

And upon hearing Li Cunguang’s praise, Zhou Chongshan’s complexion visibly improved.

He then looked at Li Cunguang with a nod and a smile, "Although Zhengchun is good, compared to the talents of your Li Family, he is nothing special. I’ve heard that a couple of years ago, the Li Family was blessed with a pair of twin boys, both possessing top-tier Spirit Root Aptitudes. Such an occurrence is truly once in a millennium, indeed!"

Li Cunguang couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Haha, to think that this matter has even reached the ears of Brother Chongshan. It seems those two lads have become famous before they have even officially started their journey!"

In the cultivation world, while the number of twin brothers is small, they are not completely unheard of.

But for both brothers to possess top-tier Spirit Root Aptitudes is, as Zhou Chongshan said, extremely rare.

Such a pair of brothers, born into a great cultivation family like the Li Family, are surely destined for extraordinary achievements.

For a Li Family cultivator like Li Cunguang, the emergence of such talented descendants in his family was naturally a source of genuine joy.

And as the conversation reached this point, You Jinfang couldn’t help but interject, "I heard that someone from Green Lotus Temple wanted to take them in as disciples after hearing the news. Will your family’s ancestor agree to this, Brother Cunguang?"

"This, I do not know. How our ancestor decides to act is not something I can speculate!"

Li Cunguang’s eyes flashed, and he shook his head slightly without engaging further.

Seeing his ploy fall flat, You Jinfang’s expression darkened, and he fell silent again.

While these people were making small talk in the spectator stands, the cultivators from the various families had already started their fervent exchanges on the stage.

This time, the participating cultivators from the Wang, Sun, and He Families were all very strong.

Especially the He Family from Qingzhu Mountain, perhaps dissatisfied with their performance in the last competition, came to this event with a determination to redeem themselves, and their participating cultivators were full of fighting spirit, putting on a very impressive display.

When the top ten contestants of the youth division emerged, the He Family alone took up four slots, followed by two from the Wang Family, three from the Sun Family, and the Zhou Family barely managed to secure one.

At the same time, in the elite division, the top three contenders from the Zhou Family’s previous internal competition also successfully made it into the top ten, saving some face for the hosting family.

Seeing this, the Clan Leader of the Wang Family, Wang Zhixiong, smiled at Zhou Chun, "It’s a good thing that Taoist Friend Zhou has successfully established his foundation, otherwise if you were participating in the elite group, the Zhou Family would probably take up almost forty percent of the top ten!"

Zhou Chun couldn’t help but give a wry smile, "Taoist Friend Wang speaks as if I don’t know whether to be happy or disappointed!"

He then shook his head, "Being able to hold three spots in the elite group this time is one thing, but without this old foundation for the next, I’m afraid our Zhou Family will hit rock bottom!"
