Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 493 - 260: Zhou Chongshan’s Death in Meditation, Another Foundation Establishment Pill [Please Subscribe]

The situation was just as Zhou Mingde had described; the Elixir Li Family and the Formation You Family were very interested in cooperating with the Zhou Family to establish a Frontier Base.

Through the war against the Dragon Transformation Sect, the two great families had made considerable sacrifices, but, at last, they had gained recognition from the Green Lotus Temple, which no longer imposed restrictions on them in various aspects.

However, a single Frontier Base could only influence an area of two to three hundred li. That might be enough for a cultivation clan, but for a Golden Core family like them, it was far from sufficient.

If they could take this opportunity to cooperate with the Zhou Family and gain the pioneering rights to another Frontier Base, it would undoubtedly be a great benefit to them.

But the two families wanted too much!

According to them, they could handle the manpower and the formation setups required for establishing the Frontier Base, but they wanted to each have a forty percent share of the base.

Zhou Chun could not possibly agree to such harsh terms.

Even if the Zhou Family was not short of money, he could not agree to such a split.

In his mind, the bottom line was for the Zhou Family to hold forty percent, with each of the two great families holding thirty percent.

But the two great families, possessing Golden Core Stage cultivators, were not likely to easily agree to such conditions.

So the negotiation hit a deadlock for a time, with none of the three families willing to easily give up their benefits.

In order to force the Li Family and the You Family to make concessions, or rather, to prepare an alternative plan, Zhou Chun also took the opportunity to spread the news that he was looking for partners to establish a Frontier Base, inviting interested families to come to the Zhou Family to discuss in detail.

At the same time, Zhou Chun had Lin Wan’er go to the Wasteland Territory to scout suitable locations for establishing a Frontier Base, and he had his intelligence network start collecting information on various Loose Cultivators.

Being busy with these matters, half a year quickly passed.

One day, while Zhou Chun was working in the Central Peace Hall, he suddenly heard the sound of a Messenger Firework bursting in the sky above the mountain gate.

He hastily went outside to look and saw that the firework had come from the sky above Formation Mystery Peak.

This made him immediately realize something, and his expression changed slightly. After quickly instructing the secretary in the hall a few words, he hurriedly flew towards Formation Mystery Peak.

At the same time, every Zhou Family Elder who saw the firework did the same and quickly flew towards Formation Mystery Peak.

Zhou Chun arrived at Formation Mystery Peak to see that the gate of Zhou Chongshan’s residence, where he usually lived, was wide open, and two Zhou Family Cultivators who were studying the Array Dao under him stood anxiously outside. Explore more adventures at novelbuddy

Seeing him and a few Elders arrive, the two hurriedly came forward to greet them and explained, "Greetings to the Clan Leader. Just now, the master suddenly premonitioned that his time was near, so he asked us to set off the Messenger Firework to notify you and the Elders."

"Understood. You wait outside for now. We’ll go see the Second Elder right away," Zhou Chun nodded and then, accompanied by the other Elders, entered the courtyard.

Walking up to Zhou Chongshan’s bedroom, Zhou Chun paused for a brief moment at the slightly ajar door before pushing it open and entering.

Inside the room, he saw Zhou Chongshan lying on the bed, his breath already weak.

Furthermore, he noticed at that moment, Zhou Chongshan’s late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation was visibly and rapidly ebbing away.

"A cultivator who dissipates their cultivation due to the exhaustion of their lifespan will naturally begin to relinquish their mana. When all their mana is dispersed, the moment of last breath comes!" murmured Zhou Daoquan, the third Elder, by Zhou Chun’s side. It was unclear whether he was explaining Zhou Chongshan’s condition or, upon seeing this scene, reflecting on his own eventual fate.

"Second Elder, do you have any last words? Are there any wishes you’d like to convey?" Zhou Chun asked with a heavy tone as he gazed at Zhou Chongshan, whose eyes were half-closed on the bed.

Hearing this question, Zhou Chongshan’s wrinkled face twitched slightly. He made an effort to open his eyes halfway and looked at Zhou Chun with a hazy gaze, whispering, "The things I had to say... I have already discussed with you all previously."

"As for my wish, I only hope that the family will, in the future, produce a member with exceptional talent in the Array Dao, someone who can inherit the insights and understandings I have accumulated in my life. I wish for my efforts to continue flowing down the generations!"

He had never married, had no children, and had poured all his passion into the study of the Array Dao—it was what he cared about most.

Hearing his wish, Zhou Chun could not help but nod firmly and say, "Junior understands. Rest assured, in the future, every cultivator in the Zhou Family will have the chance to delve into the Array Dao. If such a talented individual is indeed found, the family will certainly provide robust support, ensuring that your life’s work will not cease to be passed down!"

"I am at peace with that. The future of the Zhou Family is in your hands," Zhou Chongshan said, revealing a serene smile on his face before gently closing his eyes again.

He was waiting, waiting for everyone else to arrive.

After about a quarter of an hour, the remaining Elders, who were in the midst of cultivation, and the two Supreme Elders also concluded their practices and hurried over.

When Zhou Mingde saw Zhou Chongshan on the bed, barely clinging to life, his eyes moistened. Wiping them with his hand, he stepped forward, took Zhou Chongshan’s wrist, and whispered, "Chongshan, you can go in peace. With Daoyi and I anchoring the family, and with Zhengchun and the others managing things, the family will surely continue to get better!"

"I believe, I believe there will be such a day," Zhou Chongshan murmured softly, gripping Zhou Mingde’s hand.

Then, he forced his eyes open and scanned the faces of everyone in the room. Finally, he whispered, "Everyone, please leave. Let me spend these last moments in peace."
