Chapter 402 - 402: Temptation of Benefits (2)
Three lightning tribulations passed.
The thunderclouds immediately dissipated, and sunlight shone on the ground again.
Only then did everyone notice that the mountain peak where Zhou Minghao had transcended his tribulation had been shaved off by hundreds of feet. This was only the remnant power of the final divine soul tribulation.
Seeing this scene.
The vast majority of the Zifu Disciples present felt their hearts sink.
After reaching the Zifu stage, which cultivator would dare to say that they had no thoughts of breaking through to the Aurous Core stage?
However, seeing this terrifying Golden Core Lightning Tribulation, everyone’s confidence in transcending the tribulation was greatly affected.
“Patriarch!”
The thunderclouds dispersed, and Zhou Mubai rushed toward the deep pit on the mountain.
He could feel a weak aura in the deep pit.
If he didn’t sense wrongly, that was the aura of his clan leader!
“I didn’t expect Senior Zhou Minghao to actually succeed.”
Chen Daoxuan muttered,” Let’s go!”
“Yes.”
Luo Li nodded.
Chen Fusheng and the others followed closely behind, flying towards the mountain where Zhou Minghao was undergoing his tribulation.
The other Zifu Disciples also followed after him.
Jiang Zuyi and Qi Guangxiao looked at each other and flew over.
After a long time.
With Zhou Mubai’s support, a figure slowly flew out from the deep pit. It was Zhou Minghao, who had successfully transcended the tribulation.
However, Zhou Minghao was not in a good state at the moment. Although he had survived the last divine soul tribulation, his divine soul had also suffered significant injuries.
He needed to rest for a period of time before he could fully recover.
“Congratulations, Senior Zhou, for successfully transcending the tribulation and obtaining the Perfected One Dao Fruit!”
“Congratulations, Senior Zhou…”
“Congratulations…”
The cultivators of Cangzhou came forward to congratulate Zhou Minghao.
Zhou Minghao endured the pain in his soul and returned the greeting with a smile. He did not show any arrogance just because he had successfully transcended the tribulation and became a newly advanced Golden Core.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou, congratulations!”
Jiang Zuyi cupped his hands at Zhou Minghao.
Qi Guangxiao did not want to be outdone and quickly cupped his hands at Zhou Minghao.
Zhou Minghao returned the greeting with a smile.” I’m transcending my tribulation, so 1 can’t personally welcome you two seniors. Please forgive me!
No, no,”
Qi Guangxiao waved his hand and laughed.” You’re too kind, Fellow Cultivator Zhou.”
“Yeah,”
Jiang Zuyi smiled and said,” Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has successfully transcended the tribulation, you will be a fellow Daoist from now on. There is no need to call him senior. You can just call him Fellow Daoist.”
“Then…Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Qi, this Zhou greets you!”
“Hahaha!”
“Fellow Daoist is too polite!”
Everyone congratulated and cheered. At this moment, the Zhou family’s reputation in the Azure Continent had undoubtedly reached its peak.
After all, this was the first Golden Core cultivator from Cangzhou.
Although Zhou Minghao’s current strength might not be as strong as Zhou Mubai’s, to the itinerant cultivators of Azure Continent, Golden Core cultivators were still more famous than Zhou Mubai, a Zifu Disciple.
Even though Zhou Mubai was a Zifu Disciple on the Zifu Disciple Rankings.
After Zhou Minghao greeted everyone, he cupped his hands and said,””Although I’ve passed the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation, I’ve still suffered quite a few injuries. I’ll need to enter seclusion to recuperate for a period of time.”
“Senior Zhou, what are you saying?”
“Of course, of course.”The cultivators waved their hands in understanding.
When Zhou Minghao saw this, he nodded at Zhou Mubai and flew towards the other peak of Sky Piercing Peak.
Zhou Minghao extended his hand and invited everyone,””Everyone, my Zhou family has already prepared a banquet for all of you.”
“Alright, alright!”
“Brother Zhou is too polite.”
After saying that.
Everyone followed behind Zhou Mubai and flew towards the guest hall of Sky Piercing Peak.
As expected.
Zhou Minghao’s tribulation transcendence.
The Zhou Clan had already prepared a banquet in the Welcome Hall. Once Zhou Minghao successfully transcended the tribulation, they would immediately hold a banquet to celebrate.
Although the Zhou family’s operation was risky, the effect was undoubtedly at its peak.
At the banquet.
Everyone gave the Zhou family a thumbs up and praised them as the number one family in the Azure Continent.
Although Zhou Mubai said that he didn’t dare to, the smile in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
At this moment.
He couldn’t help but feel fortunate for the clan leader’s risky move.
After Zhou Minghao successfully transcended the tribulation, inviting the Azure Continent passage could also increase the Zhou family’s influence.
But how could it compare to the shock of transcending the tribulation in front of so many Zifu Disciples of the Azure Prefecture?
If not for that…
No one would agree with the Zhou family so much.
Zhou Minghao’s success in transcending the tribulation had greatly increased the strength of the Zhou Clan. On the other hand, with so many Zifu Disciples of the Azure Continent personally witnessing Zhou Minghao’s tribulation, they more or less owed the Zhou Clan a favor.
And the reputation of the family was accumulated bit by bit in this way.
If Chen Daoxuan was said to have turned the tide in the Azure Continent Immortal City, it was to boost the Chen family’s reputation.
This time, Zhou Minghao transcended the tribulation in front of everyone, which also boosted the Zhou family’s reputation.
Regardless of whether it was for the Zhou family or the Chen family.
Although strength was the foundation of becoming the number one large clan in Azure Continent, unless the Chen and Zhou Families had absolute strength like the Jiang and Ji Families, the effect of reputation could not be ignored.
The Ye family of Cang Prefecture was a typical example of this.
In terms of strength, the Ye family was no weaker than the Zhou family. However, the various families in Cang Province did not give the Ye family any face.
After some noise, the banquet dispersed.
All the cultivators rushed back to their residences in the Welcome Hall to rest and prepare to leave the Zhou Clan.
Just as the Chen family members returned to the spiritual residence.
Three streaks of light flew towards the spiritual residence of the Chen family.
These three streaks of light were bold and unconcealed. They were the Seventh Elder of the Jiang Family, Jiang Zuyi, and two cultivators of the Chen generation, Jiang Chenyan and Jiang Chenye.
“Fellow Daoist Chen!”
Outside the spiritual residence, Jiang Zuyi cupped his hands at Chen Daoxuan.
Chen Daoxuan stopped in mid-air and turned around to reply,””May 1 know why Reverend Jiang is looking for me?”
Ancestor Jiang smiled and looked at the spiritual residence without saying anything.
He pondered for a moment.
Chen Daoxuan said,” I’m sorry for being rude. Daoist Jiang, please!
“Yes.”
Ancestor Jiang nodded with a smile.
After entering the spiritual residence and reporting to the crowd, Chen Daoxuan received the three members of the Jiang family alone.
Other than the fact that this was the Zhou family’s land and the outside world was filled with cultivators from the Azure Continent, there was another reason why he dared to meet the three members of the Jiang family alone. That was because Chen Daoxuan was a bold and skilled person.
With the fourth tier upper grade power spiritual armor on him, Chen Daoxuan felt extremely safe.
He was confident that a mere late-stage Golden Core cultivator wouldn’t even be able to break the defense of his spiritual armor.
However, Ancestor Jiang was not clear about this.
When he saw that Chen Daoxuan was only at the ninth level of the Purple
Mansion Realm, he dared to meet him alone. He also admired Chen Daoxuan’s courage.
“Let me introduce you, Fellow Daoist Chen. This is the Dao Child of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chenye. You’ve already met him in the Source World of True Immortals. This is the daughter of the Chenzi generation of the Jiang family, Jiang Chenyan.”
Chen Daoxuan nodded at the two of them.
“Adept Jiang, if you have something to say, you can say it directly.”
“Alright, Fellow Daoist Chen, you’re a straightforward person.”
He paused for a moment. My Jiang Family wants to marry the Chen Family and form an alliance of mutual attack and defense!”
As expected!
Chen Daoxuan thought to himself.
However, he said,”The Jiang Clan is powerful. My Chen Clan is just a Zifu Clan. What qualifications do you have to form an alliance with your Jiang Clan?””
“Fellow Daoist Chen, you can’t say that.”
The Jiang Ancestor smiled and said,” Although your Chen family’s strength is inferior to my Jiang family, it’s definitely a new big family in the Azure Continent. In the future, it was only a matter of time before they became the number one family in Azure Continent.”
“Perfected Jiang, did you remember wrongly? The number one big family in Azure Continent should be the Zhou family, a new Golden Core family. What does it have to do with my Chen family?”
“Hehe, I think Fellow Daoist Chen knows the truth better than 1 do.”
Jiang Zu said,” My Jiang Family is very sincere about this marriage alliance. It’s up to Fellow Daoist Chen to decide.”
As he spoke.
In front of Chen Xuan, Jiang Zu took out a third-tier superior-grade spiritual armor that was glowing with purple light from his storage bag, the Purple Yin Armor.
Chen Daoxuan’s expression didn’t change at all when he saw this Grade Three ling armor.
Just as he was feeling that the Jiang Family was stingy, Jiang Ancestor took out a jade slip and gently tossed it over.
Chen Daoxuan took the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense. His expression changed drastically.
” The refining method of a third tier ling armor!”
“That’s right.”
Jiang Zuyi smiled and said,” How about this as a gift for our alliance?”
As he spoke, Jiang Zu glanced at Jiang Chenyan.
Jiang Chenyan understood and took a step forward. After bowing, she said softly,””Could it be that Young Master Chen is looking down on my willowy appearance?”
At this moment, beauty and benefits that no Zifu Clan could refuse were placed before Chen Daoxuan..
