Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 12 Supreme Elder

Jiufeng Ridge, Baozhi Peak.

That day, after Zhou Chun came out of the Jingling Pavilion, he went back to his residence to meditate and restore his magic power as usual.

But he had just been meditating for less than two quarters of an hour when he felt that the formation in the yard had been triggered by an outsider.

When he finished his training and stood up, opening the gate, he saw Zhou Yong waiting for him anxiously.

Seeing him coming out, he immediately said in a deep voice: "The clan leader has ordered that all clan members in the mountain gate, except for the monks guarding the Pure Spirit Pavilion and the mountain protection formation, should gather at Pagoda Peak. There is an important matter that needs to be announced in public!"

After saying that, he bowed to him and said, "I still have to inform the others. Brother Chun, you should hurry to Pagoda Peak as soon as possible."

Is there something important that needs to be announced publicly?
There was a flash of doubt in Zhou Chun's eyes. He glanced at Zhou Yong's departing back, packed up immediately, and set off for Pagoda Peak.

When he reached the top of the Pagoda Peak, he found that dozens of Zhou family cultivators had already gathered there.

From centenarians to teenagers, all of them had confused looks in their eyes. It was obvious that they were all called here suddenly, just like Zhou Chun.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun gave up the idea of ​​asking someone for information. He immediately greeted some familiar tribesmen and waited together.

After waiting for more than half an hour, when the number of Zhou family cultivators gathered on the mountain approached a hundred, the clan leader Zhou Guyi and three elders finally walked out of the "Zhongping Hall".

But just when Zhou Chun and the others thought that the reason was about to be announced, the clan leader Zhou Guyi and the other four foundation-building monks suddenly bowed and saluted at the top of the mountain, saying, "We respectfully welcome the Grand Elder out of retreat."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of green light shot up from the top of the mountain and soon landed halfway up the mountain, revealing the figure of an old man with white hair and green clothes.

This old man in green is none other than Zhou Family’s mainstay, the Purple Mansion Stage cultivator Zhou Wende.

Although he looks a bit old, Zhou Wende's age is actually not high among the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators.

The life span of a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator generally exceeds four hundred years, and some can even live for nearly five hundred years.

Zhou Wende is only over 200 years old now. The reason why he has a head full of white hair is that when he cultivated to the Purple Mansion Stage, he was already over 200 years old, and was almost approaching the lifespan of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Speaking of which, Zhou Wende was able to break through the Purple Mansion Stage more than ten years ago. For the Zhou family today, this can be regarded as a blessing from heaven.

Because if Zhou Wende, a Purple Mansion cultivator, had not dared to take the lead and stand up, when the Three Absolute Sects were split up, I am afraid that few Zhou family cultivators would have dared to face Yu Jinghua, who was in the Golden Core Stage, and would not have dared to say that he wanted to establish the Zhou family as a separate school.

Therefore, in today's Zhou family, Zhou Wende, the supreme elder, is still very popular and respected.

Seeing him appear at this time, all the Zhou family cultivators present, led by the clan leader Zhou Guyi, bowed to him and said, "Junior pays homage to the Grand Elder."

"No need to be polite, my fellow tribesmen. Please follow me into the ancestral temple first!"

Zhou Wende waved his sleeves and immediately led the way to the ancestral temple, which had been closed since its construction.

As a family of immortal cultivators organized on a family basis, the Zhou family's ancestral temple was naturally a place of emphasis in construction. All the materials used were precious, and it was also guarded by a separate magic array.

Normally, only the supreme elder Zhou Wende and the clan leader Zhou Guyi are qualified to open this ancestral temple.

At this time, Zhou Wende opened the gate of the ancestral temple. Zhou Chun and other Zhou family cultivators followed him and saw the scene inside the ancestral temple for the first time.

After entering the door, you can see a square patio with a few lotus leaves floating in the pool in the middle. The lotus leaves are as green as jade and exude an aura of spirituality.

Under the lotus leaves, in the clear pond, several huge golden carps were swimming around, emitting a faint aura.

Looking at the corridors on both sides of the patio, the walls are covered with murals and texts that describe the origin of the Zhou family and record some of the great deeds that the Zhou family’s ancestors had done.

For example, there was an ancestor of the Zhou family named Zhou Tong, who, together with two of his good friends in the Jindan stage, once killed a fourth-order dragon that was a scourge to the world of immortal cultivation.

On the mural, you can see the scene of the Zhou family ancestor slaying a dragon.

For example, an ancestor of the Zhou family named Zhou Xia once entered a strange place and brought back a kind of spiritual insect called the Jade Spirit Bee, which greatly benefited the Zhou family.

On the mural, one can still see the ancestor of the Zhou family raising bees and collecting honey.

In short, the Zhou family ancestors who can appear in the form of murals in this ancestral temple have all made great contributions to the Zhou family, and it is worthy for the later generations of Zhou family cultivators to remember their contributions forever.

"People should never forget their roots, let alone their ancestors!" "Those of us who practice immortality seek immortality, but as human beings, we should put people first, do human things, and follow human ways."

"If it weren't for the contributions of the Zhou family ancestors on the merit walls on both sides, how could you and I have the opportunity to stand here today? How could we have achieved this level of cultivation?"

"So, no matter how high your cultivation level is in the future, no matter where you are, don't forget the achievements of your ancestors, and don't forget whose blood flows in you!"

"Of course, I hope that one day in the future, one of your names will appear on this wall of merit, so that the spirits of our ancestors in heaven and the descendants of the Zhou family in the future generations will be proud of you!"

A powerful and deep voice came out slowly from Zhou Wende's mouth, echoing leisurely in the ancestral temple.

All the Zhou family cultivators who were in the ancestral temple felt a strange emotion in their hearts after hearing his words.

Some elderly people showed looks of shame and mortification on their faces, with their heads hung, as if they felt ashamed of their ancestors.

Some teenagers and young men couldn't help but straighten their chests, with longing in their eyes.

Even Zhou Chun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed somewhat touched.

Worshiping ancestors and bringing honor to the family were things that were highly respected and recognized by the Chinese people even in his previous life.

I still remember that when he was admitted to university, his parents, grandparents and other blood relatives were all very happy and told everyone about it. The villagers also praised him for his promising future.

That must have been the most glorious moment of his previous life!

Unfortunately, after I entered society, that kind of thing never happened again. I even didn’t dare to go home often because I had never gotten married!

Thinking about his past life, Zhou Chun had unknowingly followed the crowd into the main hall of the ancestral temple.

Because the Zhou family has a history of more than a thousand years, there are countless cultivators who have come from it in the past.

Therefore, except for the first and second generation ancestors, those who can have tablets in this main hall are all people with cultivation above the foundation-building stage.

The tablets of those Zhou family cultivators who have not reached the foundation-building stage are enshrined in the side halls on both sides of the main hall of the ancestral temple.

But in fact, because mortals are not allowed to enter the ancestral temple, it is difficult to find the corresponding persons among the monks present today for the descendants of many of the tablets in the temple.

Take Zhou Chun as an example. The parents and grandparents of this body are all mortals. It was only within five generations that a cultivator with spiritual roots like him appeared.

If he hadn't looked through the family tree, he really wouldn't have known the names of his ancestors who had practiced cultivation for more than three generations, or where their tablets were enshrined now.

Among the Zhou family cultivators present here, there are quite a few who are in the same situation as him.

So in order not to affect the unity of the tribesmen, Zhou Wende simply led everyone from the main hall to bow and burn incense to all the tablets.

After the sacrificial ceremony was over, everyone returned to the main hall of the ancestral temple. Zhou Wende slowly turned around, turned his back to the spirit tablets of his ancestors, and looked at everyone with a serious face.

When everyone saw this, they all became nervous, knowing that he was about to announce something big.

They immediately perked up and waited with bated breath.

"My Zhou family has existed since our ancestors founded the Sanjue Sect. It can be said that my Zhou family has been passed down for as many years as the Sanjue Sect has been passed down."

"Over the years, my Zhou family has always shared honor and disgrace with the Three Absolute Sect, and in order to maintain the sect's inheritance and unity, the ancestors of the Zhou family have always intended to downplay the family's influence."

"Now that the Three Absolute Sect is gone, the Zhou family has suffered a catastrophe and has been split into two, with the clan members falling apart."

"We, the Zhou family members of Jiufengling, have inherited the Zhou family's orthodoxy and the incense and sacrifices of our ancestors. In the future, we must use the family as our foundation and blood as our bond to work together to create brilliance and carry forward the Zhou family, so that our ancestors and future generations will be proud of us!"

Zhou Wende paused slightly when he said this, and looked at the tribesmen who were listening attentively.

Then his tone suddenly sank, and he said solemnly: "So in order to carry forward the Zhou family, so that all clansmen can practice more smoothly and conveniently in the future, and so that the Zhou family can become stronger and better, reform is imperative!"

"After several months of discussion between me, the clan leader, and the elders, we have already made a preliminary draft of most of the changes that need to be made. Today, I will announce it publicly in front of all our ancestors."
