Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 2312 - 807: The Plot Revealed

Indeed, Deer Monarch had traversed various nations of the Human Clan and regions of the Alien Race in search, and it was true that Zhongxuan Demon King was preparing for tribulation.

However, he intentionally omitted the fact that he helped Zhongxuan Demon King revive that Spirit Wood.

If Changchun Venerable did not discover this, all the better, and even if he did, it likely wouldn’t lead to any repercussions against him.

After all, the result was favorable!

At this moment, after listening to Zhou Chun’s words, Changchun Venerable narrowed his eyes and murmured thoughtfully, "That Mountain Spirit of Liang Country’s Misty Immortal Mountain? I seem to have some impression of this matter; that Mountain Spirit has indeed been occupying there for many years!

Even in the eyes of Human Clan Divinity Transformation Period Cultivators, Changchun Venerable was a mysterious figure, as he did not establish sects nor accept disciples to pass on his teachings; he merely secluded himself within Changchun Valley, watching over the [Immortal Pine].

In reality, however, Changchun Venerable always remained attentive to the circumstances of the Human Clan Cultivation Realm.

He not only had multiple incarnations that could roam the Cultivation World in his stead but also forces secretly gathering and providing him with various information.

For unique existences like the Mountain Spirit, once he received relevant information, he would certainly retain some impression of it.

Had Zhou Chun not mentioned it today, he wouldn’t have paid attention to the situation of a Fifth Rank Mountain Spirit.

To him, a Fifth Rank High-Grade Mountain Spirit was indeed rare and unique, but merely unique.

Bullying the weak by killing this Fifth Rank High-Grade Mountain Spirit and obtaining its primal core would only yield a useful spiritual object for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators; to him, it’s of no great use.

At the level of Divinity Transformation Stage, especially someone of Changchun Venerable’s caliber, even when refining an avatar, there’s no absolute necessity to select a Spirit Monster’s heart core as the vessel; many other substitutes are possible.

So, it wasn’t until Zhou Chun spoke the truth that Changchun Venerable started taking that Mountain Spirit seriously.

After all, since this Mountain Spirit could possess an Acquired Spirit Root, it indicated an extraordinary luck!

Under normal circumstances, Mountain Spirits indeed find it extremely difficult to advance to the Sixth Rank, with nearly no hope.

Yet, for those with immense fortune, turning the impossible into possible is not entirely out of reach!

And at this critical juncture, allowing the Demon Clan to gain a Sixth Rank Demon Saint with a Mountain Spirit’s true form would truly spell bad news for the Human Clan!

As the foremost cultivator of the Human Clan, Changchun Venerable definitely could not sit idly by and let this happen.

As Zhou Chun had thought, perhaps Zhongxuan Demon King could have previously avoided the attention of Human Clan Divinity Transformation Period Experts by being cautious.

However, by possessing something even a strong figure like Changchun Venerable sought, Doom was inevitably beckoning! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

At this moment, after some contemplation, Changchun Venerable addressed Zhou Chun, "Since that Mountain Spirit seeks to harm you and the Burden Turtle, you should use this opportunity to your advantage and take a trip to Misty Immortal Mountain!"

"As for the safety of this journey, you need not worry. If that Mountain Spirit dares to attack you and your retinue, I shall use thunderous means to slay the demon!"

This outcome was exactly as Zhou Chun had anticipated.

Therefore, after hearing Changchun Venerable’s words, he promptly responded with respect, "Yes, junior obeys the command."

Without mentioning anything about the primal core or inquiring about rewards upon completing the task, he adhered directly to Changchun Venerable’s instructions, leaving Changchun Valley to return to the family sect gate.

Watching Zhou Chun depart, Changchun Venerable murmured to himself, "In its domain, a Fifth Rank High-Grade Mountain Spirit’s perception capabilities exceed its rank; if it truly has an Acquired Spirit Root, that will certainly be its focus point. It seems we must wait for this junior to distract the Mountain Spirit’s attention before verifying his claims!

An Acquired Spirit Root, he definitely aimed to acquire.

After all, Spirit Roots of this caliber have marvelous utilities.

Just like the [Immortal Pine] extends longevity, other Acquired Spirit Roots are sure to possess extraordinary uses.

In the worst-case scenario, with his capabilities, refining an Acquired Spirit Root into a Dharma Treasure would likely yield a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure!

Meanwhile, after returning to the sect gate, Zhou Chun cautioned Deer Monarch against divulging his meeting with Changchun Venerable.

He then summoned all his five Demon King Spirit Pets and promptly headed towards Liang Country’s Misty Immortal Mountain with them.

Soon, Zhou Chun’s figure appeared outside the Misty Immortal Mountain of Liang Country.

After assessing the mist-shrouded mountains ahead, he flew straight into them.

"Hahaha, indeed, Taoist Friend Zhou is a person of trust; this king was not mistaken about you."

Inside Misty Immortal Mountain, as soon as Zhou Chun entered, Zhongxuan Demon King’s loud laughter echoed in his ears.

It was unclear if the other party had been awaiting his arrival, hence discovering him so swiftly.

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Chun merely chuckled and said, "Since Zhongxuan Taoist Friend invited, how could Mr. Zhou not come."

As these words fell, Zhongxuan Demon King spoke in a deep voice, "This king awaits Taoist Friend Zhou at the usual spot; please come over at your convenience."

Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately flew toward the place where they last met.

Moments later, Zhou Chun descended into a serene valley.

At that moment, Zhongxuan Demon King, manifested as a yellow-robed man, was already brewing tea in the pavilion within the valley, waiting for him.

Seeing Zhou Chun arrive, Zhongxuan Demon King immediately raised a hand and invited, "Taoist Friend Zhou, as a guest, please first taste this spiritual tea harvested from the mountains!"

"Does Zhongxuan Taoist Friend also have a preference for tea? It wasn’t evident previously."

Speaking casually, Zhou Chun sat down within the pavilion.

However, he merely held the cup of tea in hand, not in haste to taste it.

Zhongxuan Demon King seemed indifferent to whether he would drink it or not, faintly smiling as he said, "This king indeed dislikes tea, but breaking the norm for hosting Taoist Friend Zhou, once, is no problem."

"Truly a great honor for Mr. Zhou!"

A flash of surprise appeared in Zhou Chun’s eyes as he replied with a laugh.

He spoke casually, but Zhongxuan Demon King earnestly responded with, "In truth, Taoist Friend Zhou is deserving of such measures from this king!"

He then reflected with a sense of nostalgia, saying, "Back then, when this king first met Taoist Friend Zhou, you were just a minor cultivator at the Early Stage of the Golden Elixir, though your strength was notable, it was uncertain if you would form a Nascent Soul, at least the chances seemed slim!

"Who would have thought that later, in just over two hundred years, Taoist Friend Zhou would successfully transform Elixir and form Nascent Soul, forming a Nascent Soul at under six hundred years old, truly astonishing!"

At this point, he shook his head again, "Even so, this king never imagined that after successfully forming a Nascent Soul, Taoist Friend Zhou’s cultivation speed would remain unimpeded, advancing from Nascent Soul Early Stage to Nascent Soul Late Stage in less than a thousand years!"

"To be honest, upon hearing of Taoist Friend Zhou’s advancement to Nascent Soul Late Stage, this king was once again astonished by your unimaginable, vigorous and swift progress!"

This tone of admiration, coming from a mighty demon king about to face tribulation, indeed made Zhou Chun feel a slight sense of pride.

Truly, his cultivation speed could hardly be rivaled; it would certainly be a challenge for future cultivators to break his records.

If he could successfully achieve Divinity Transformation in the future, it would be even more legendary!

Yet, that tiny sense of pride did not swell him; he casually waved his hand, saying with a smile, "Zhongxuan Taoist Friend overpraises me. Though Mr. Zhou has some accomplishments, they hardly deserve such praise from you, it’s too much, too much!"

"Not an exaggeration at all; for the achievements Taoist Friend Zhou has garnered, my words are conservative!"

Zhongxuan Demon King slightly shook his head, then regretfully sighed, "It’s just a pity..."

"Pity about what?"

Zhou Chun prompted when he saw the pause.

"Just a pity that Taoist Friend Zhou’s legendary journey ends here! A pity that Taoist Friend Zhou will die here today!"

Zhongxuan Demon King lightly sighed, expressing the most ruthless words in the most regretful tone.
