Chapter 1233

Watching Zhou Zhong leave, Zhou Ti was filled with emotion.

When his father died in the southern border region, it was the most difficult time for the whole family. Zhou Ding stepped forward to shoulder the responsibilities of the eldest son and took over as the head of the family under the witness of the venerable master.

Facing imminent annihilation, the Western Zhou clan united as one, overcoming countless obstacles to carve out their own territory. This was due to harmony among people, as well as favorable timing and location…

The southeastern states were originally the fiefdom of the Great Gentleman, but later fell into chaos. However, the Great Gentleman's legacy remains. Zhou Daqian once joined forces with the Great Gentleman to destroy the Ten Demons of the Southeast, and this friendship still exists.

The power vacuum in several southeastern states was quickly seized upon by the Western Branch of the Zhou Clan, which swept through several states in one fell swoop.

In addition to favorable timing, there is also the advantage of location. The neighboring Lihuo Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Zhou Nanwang, and the Southern Frontier is a friendly and influential region.

Soon, the Zhou clan's western branch took root and became firmly established in the southeast, transforming from the Zuofu Zhou clan to the Southeast Zhou clan, and flourished even more.

However, the capital city will not stand idly by and watch them grow stronger.

Soon, undercurrents began to stir, with unusual movements occurring in various prefectures and cities, where troops were being amassed and their sights set on several southeastern prefectures.

Overnight, the Zhou family in the southeast was once again on the verge of destruction, just as they had heard the news of Zhou Daqian's demise that night.

When Zhou Ding found Zhou Ti, he said as soon as they met, "I only know that you have great ambitions and many secrets."

“As your brother, I respect your choice, but the family cannot be involved. As the eldest son, I enjoy the glory of the past, and I must shoulder the responsibility.”

"I need your help!"

That night, no one except the two brothers knew what they talked about.

At a family meeting not long after, Zhou Ti's complaints enraged Zhou Ding, who was in a bad mood. Zhou Ding slashed Zhou Ti's face, leaving a cut, and yelled, "You bastard, who gave you the right to speak!"

"Hmph, I may be born out of wedlock, but my maternal family, the Qi family, back then our fathers were just servants of the Qi family!"

These words were utterly treasonous, and Zhou Ding, in a fit of rage, wanted to kill Zhou Ding.

The surrounding clansmen rushed forward to protect Zhou Ding, and some advised Zhou Ti to leave quickly.

That very night, some of the "clan members" found Zhou Ti and openly and secretly defended him, saying that the Qi family's bloodline was ancient and its nobility was no less than that of the Zhou family.

This clansman was one of the acquaintances who had 'kindly' offered advice during the day, yet his face was completely unfamiliar to me.

It turns out that, unknowingly, the Zhou family had been thoroughly infiltrated by the outside world, which explains why Zhou was determined to rely on his power.

Later on, Zhou Ti acted like a magnet, attracting forces from all sides. These people either incited or encouraged him, trying to sow discord between him and Zhou Ding.

"The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is inherent and cannot be changed, but you can change your name from Zhou to Qi, and in the newly established Qi family, you will be the legitimate son." "With our help, you can even become the head of the family."

Zhou Ti listened intently, silently calculating in his mind, like a manipulated puppet following their instructions step by step.

Until that night, the Western branch of the Zhou clan split, and some people supported 'Zhou Ti' to revive the Qi family.

Not only internally, but also external forces flocked in, giving rise to a deformed Qi family.

The head of the Qi family is Zhou Ti. He did not change his name. The people around him come from the Sacrifice Heaven Palace, various aristocratic families, and forces such as the Human Race Sect and the Buddha God Sect. Looking around, he has no confidants.

These people sidelined Zhou Ti, racking their brains to fight against the Zhou family in the name of the Qi family, ensuring that the Zhou family continued to bleed and weaken.

Although the Zhou clan split up, this was precisely the result of Zhou Ding's original plan. A complete and powerful Western Zhou clan, controlling several states in the southeast, would definitely be a target for concentrated attacks.

It should be noted that Zhou Daqian's demise was due to his control of three of the eight prefectures in Zhili, which threatened the status of the feudal lords, making him an enemy of the world and leading to the upheaval at the Immortal Chenglu Terrace.

Zhou Ding learned from his mistakes, proactively splitting the Zhou clan and tolerating the rise of the Qi family, leading to a bloody conflict between the two sides. This situation was welcomed by all parties, and the idea of ​​joining forces to destroy them disappeared.

Whenever he thought of this, Zhou Ti admired Zhou Ding immensely. This eldest son was absolutely the most suitable successor; only he could safeguard the legacy left by their father.

But he still has his own path to walk.

The Golden Immortal Dao Master, Zhou Ti, through the 'prayer' seal script, could be heard by all things in the world, and could even communicate with ancient beings. Those murmurs remaining in the soil and cracks of rocks witnessed one glorious era after another.

Zhou prayed repeatedly and communicated with several mysterious and powerful beings.

He even suspected that a martial arts master was secretly observing him.

These beings, harboring various motives and disguising themselves in different guises, try every means to gain his trust, and for this, they spare no effort to provide him with all sorts of precious knowledge and secret techniques.

The ancient seal script was presented to him without reservation.

Under the guidance of numerous 'renowned teachers,' Zhou Ti's strength improved by leaps and bounds. He was also adept at concealing his abilities and disguising his true intentions, leading outsiders to believe that he was a mediocre puppet. However, what they didn't expect was...

Zhou Ti secretly cultivated to the level of a Grandmaster and mastered the most powerful Golden Immortal techniques in the world.

He even secretly subdued weakened organizations in various regions, reorganized them into a unified "Golden Immortal Path," and appointed himself as its leader.

Under his leadership, the Golden Immortal Path was reborn from the ashes, and while maintaining a low profile, it wielded ever greater power.

"The Golden Immortal Path, Xiaoyaozi!"

Zhou Ti gently stroked the manual that Xiao Qi had given him, thinking that everything that happened had a pattern.

Who is behind Xiaoyaozi's resurrection?

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat as a slight, unsettling vibration emanated from his north-facing side.

At the same time, it was Xiaoyaozi who used the bronze cauldron to destroy the elephant worm, which triggered the attention of the Totem Ancestral Witch Hall Master.

The power emanating from the Nine Cauldrons was raw and real, immediately attracting Zhou Ti's high level of attention.

He suddenly cried out, his fingers completely bloodless, "This commotion..."

I originally thought that sending Zhou Zhong would be enough, but now it seems that the Golden Immortal Daoist Master has to go in person.

Since this matter concerns the Nine Cauldrons, he was 80% certain that the unusual activity just now was definitely the work of Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi was only at the level of an eighth or ninth-grade immortal. Before his death, he was still some distance from Chongyang Gong. How could he have suddenly appeared and wielded such terrifying power?

Could it be that he used the methods of the Yuanding School to simulate one of the Nine Tripods using seal script?

Thinking of this, Zhou Ti was filled with excitement. That was the power of the Nine Cauldrons, his greatest goal.

If I could learn the secret of the Nine Cauldrons from Xiaoyaozi, my chances of success in this major undertaking would increase to over 70%.

With a thought, Zhou Ti landed in a safe house in a certain city, where a neatly folded robe covered a mask.

An invisible hand picked up the mask, put on a robe, and quickly formed a majestic figure... the Golden Immortal Dao Master.

This is a secret technique passed down to him by an ancient and mysterious being... Ancient human sacrifices, masks made by dripping blood onto clay and firing them, can create an avatar that can travel thousands of miles without being affected.
