Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1075 - 480: Making a Move, Mountain Gate Attacked [Subscribe Requested]_2

"If this girl does not perish and can maintain her current state of mind, she is certain to achieve great success in the future!"

Zhou Chun thought to himself, truly feeling a sense of cherishing talent.

With thoughts whirling in his mind, he soon spoke to the woman, "Suicide is but a coward’s way to escape reality. Having suffered torment and indignity at the hands of demon cultivators, you should know their evil. If you were willing to endure such torture for the sake of saving your loved ones before, why not now choose to preserve your able body and strive in your cultivation to gain strength. In the future, you can exterminate demons and devils, saving more pitiful souls enslaved and tormented by demon cultivators!"

Hearing his words, the woman’s form trembled slightly, and her gaze was no longer calm.

"Exterminating demons and devils, can I really do it?"

She mumbled to herself, unable to help but raise her eyes to Zhou Chun and said, "I heard those demon cultivators say that my Spirit Root Aptitude is very ordinary, and even if I practice diligently, I won’t achieve much in this lifetime!"

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun knew she was moved, and he immediately said in a deep voice, "Spirit Root Aptitude is indeed important, but what also matters greatly for us cultivators to traverse further on the path is personal character and willpower!"

"If you can withstand the harshest of hardships and endure what others cannot, Zhou Mou has ways to make your cultivation speed not inferior to those with better Spirit Root Aptitudes, and furthermore, to obtain much stronger divine skills for banishing demons!"

Upon hearing this, a bright light appeared in the woman’s eyes, and she said excitedly, "I am not afraid of hardship; having tasted all kinds of suffering for these years, there’s nothing I can’t withstand!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but nod and said, "Then there’s no problem. Although the demon cultivator army has been repelled for now, there are still scattered demon cultivators hiding among the common people in various countries, slaughtering and enslaving mortals, killing for their cultivation. If you attain formidable divine skills, you can seek to slay these demons and rescue those enslaved and tormented by them!"

After hearing his statement, the woman clenched her teeth and soon nodded firmly, saying, "Fine, I’ll take the words of Immortal Master to heart; I will abstain from suicide for now, and we’ll see after slaying those demons!"

Standing aside, Zhou Zhengyong saw this and couldn’t help smiling in relief, immediately saying with a laugh, "That’s right, it’s best if you think this way, young friend."

Subsequently, at the woman named Zhou Xiaolian’s request, Zhou Chun used an illusion to befuddle the young man and the other mortals, creating the false impression that she had committed suicide.

Then, amidst the mortals mourning and paying respects in front of her empty grave, she left with Zhou Chun.

On the way back to the Zhou Family, Zhou Chun also checked Zhou Xiaolian’s condition.

Her Spirit Root Aptitude was indeed not good, barely considered as a medium Spirit Root, with the attributes of water and wood.

Her level of cultivation at the third layer of the Qi Refinement Realm was purely the result of demon cultivators forcefully raising it using Demon Techniques, to facilitate extraction of her essence blood for their own cultivation.

Zhou Chun immediately took action to disperse her cultivation of the Demon Techniques, planning to have her practice the Tome of Thousand Poisons in the future.

Although the Tome of Thousand Poisons was obtained from the demon cultivator Xu Qinglin, also known as the Snake Demon, this cultivation technique was not purely a Demon Technique, at least not causing the cultivators to exude a demon aura like other demon cultivators.

Zhou Xiaolian had been willing to sacrifice herself to feed the demon in order to save her loved ones, enduring all kinds of torture without breaking down, even unafraid of death.

To Zhou Chun, she was the most suitable practitioner of the Tome of Thousand Poisons.

Because practicing this unique technique does not particularly prioritize the cultivator’s Spirit Root Aptitude, but rather the willpower to endure suffering, in addition to resources and luck.

Since Zhou Xiaolian did not lack the willpower to endure pain, and Zhou Chun and the Zhou Family could provide resources, as long as her luck wasn’t too terrible and she didn’t perish during the practice of Poison Techniques, she was guaranteed to become a powerful asset for the Zhou Family!

Thus, upon entering Jingguo’s Yunzhou territory, Zhou Chun parted ways with Zhou Zhengyong.

He needed to rendezvous with Zhou Mingde at Tuyun Ridge, while Zhou Zhengyong was heading to Jiufeng Ridge to meet his son, Zhou Xinlan; Zhou Xiaolian was also entrusted to his care for the journey to Jiufeng Ridge.

At this moment, thanks to Fengguo’s rigorous patrolling and capture campaign at the border, large-scale disturbances by demon cultivators had not occurred in the various states of Jingguo, and Zhou Chun was not worried about Zhou Zhengyong traveling to Jiufeng Ridge alone being problematic.

He himself rode on the Golden Winged Tiger, rushing toward Tuyun Ridge as swiftly as possible.

However, just as Zhou Chun approached the outskirts of Tuyun Ridge, preparing to enter, a streak of blood-red light suddenly burst from the forest some twenty miles away and, with the speed of lightning, shot piercingly towards him.

When one is about to return home, one’s guard is often let down.

Zhou Chun was no exception at this moment.

He hadn’t expected anyone bold enough to dare attack him just outside of Tuyun Ridge.

After all, with the end of the war at the frontlines, Lin Hongyu had already returned to Tuyun Ridge ahead of him.

Moreover, Tuyun Ridge’s Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation was a Forbidden Formation; once he entered it, even a Golden Core Stage Cultivator would find it difficult to touch him.

So it was not until the blood-red light was less than ten miles from him that he realized something was amiss.

By then it was too late for him to retrieve a Magic Artifact from his Storage Pouch or to release a Spirit Pet from his Spirit Beast Pouch.

With the horrifying speed of the blood-red light, ten miles was but the blinking of an eye!

In the nick of time, Zhou Chun, as if inspired by a stroke of luck, fiercely directed the Golden Winged Tiger to take him into its Space Pouch.
