429: Letter from Qing Yuan Zong

The Zhou Family replacing the Lin Family was a result everyone could foresee, especially with the strength Zhou Luo had shown over the years and the influence his children, wives, and concubines had generated, constantly pushing this process forward.

So much so that now everyone no longer referred to the Immortal Family as the Lin Family, but rather the Zhou Family.

The Zhou Family becoming the new Immortal Family was already a foregone conclusion.

During these ten years, the Zhou Family has been developing and growing stronger, and the industries under Zhou Luo have also been continuously expanding.

In particular, the battles between the two great Immortal Sects have never stopped, causing the demand for various goods to rise rapidly.

As the largest commercial area in the Immortal City, the business at Heavenly Pavilion was incredibly booming, with the daily profits comparable to the annual profits of a small Zhou Family.

It is worth noting that Dragon Cloudfrost, the Shopkeeper of Tianxia Tavern, still hasn't returned, and the temporary Shopkeeper from back then was also transferred away, replaced by a new Shopkeeper.

Although this Shopkeeper still maintained cooperation with Zhou Luo, he sensed something unusual.

Therefore, he even specifically dispatched personnel to inquire about news concerning Dragon Cloudfrost.

Because this time, the Shopkeeper of Tianxia Tavern was not a temporary replacement, but a permanent one.

Zhou Luo always remembered that Dragon Cloudfrost's brother was an Elder of the tavern, and she herself held a distinguished status.

Logically speaking, even if the other party temporarily left, with the business in Qingyuan City being so good, the other party shouldn't have sent someone to replace her.

Unless her brother encountered some mishap.

Later, the news from Jinyun Continent also confirmed his conjecture.

Just eight years ago, the Ninth Prince, whose Lifespan had been exhausted, completely perished.

And before his death, for some unknown reason, he still hadn't designated an heir.

This led to the three powerful contenders launching a massive battle for succession immediately after his death.

This great battle lasted for five full years, until three years ago, under the intervention of the Fire Cloud Country Emperor, the Long Yu mentioned by Dragon Cloudfrost finally won and became the new Ninth Prince.

Dragon Cloudfrost and her brother Dragon Yunting thus lost power. First, Dragon Yunting suddenly resigned from his position as an Elder of Tianxia Tavern, and then Dragon Cloudfrost disappeared again after only showing her face once in the Golden Cloud Domain.

For the next three years, Dragon Cloudfrost's figure was never seen again in the entire Jinyun Continent.

Some rumors claimed that she and her brother Dragon Yunting were killed by Long Yu, while others claimed they fled to a hidden place, planning to make a comeback...

Regardless of the speculation, the fact that Long Yu dispatched the Dragon Guard Army to search for the two of them could not be hidden from everyone's eyes.

And he was the Ninth Prince with the Emperor's mandate; even if Dragon Cloudfrost and the others wanted to seize his Prince position, it would be extremely difficult.

After learning this news, Zhou Luo was shocked for a long time.

He didn't expect Dragon Cloudfrost to be defeated like this.

Having failed in the succession, incredibly difficult days awaited them.

More than that, he was concerned about how Long Yu's attitude towards him would be.

After all, he was the one who hired assassins to kill the other party back then.

However, judging from Tianxia Tavern's attitude towards him, the other party didn't seem to be interested in him.

This also made Zhou Luo feel a sense of relief in his heart.

In the backyard of the Zhou Residence, a small boy dressed in brocade and fine clothes was lying on a table, holding a willow branch in his hand, constantly teasing Bai who was lying there.

Bai narrowed its eyes, raised its head, and occasionally had to pretend to be amused by the other party's actions and expressions, which made the little boy very happy.

This little boy was none other than Zhou Changtian, the one Zhou Luo placed great hopes on.

This little fellow is now ten years old.

Although only ten years old, possessing two types of Physiques and a First-Grade Spiritual Root, he is now at the Qi Training Sixth Level of Cultivation.

This Cultivation speed is simply too fast compared to ordinary people.

One must know that some Immortals spend decades, even hundreds of years, to step into this Realm, while this little fellow has already reached it at the age of ten.

What is a Cultivation Genius? This is a Cultivation Genius.

Of course, in addition to his own Cultivation talent, it is also inseparable from Zhou Luo's careful guidance.

From the moment this little fellow began Cultivation, Zhou Luo showed great attention to him, teaching him various techniques.

It was also because of this that Zhou Luo incidentally learned about this little fellow's other special Physique.

It was a Physique he was born with.

And the runes he saw on this little fellow back then were actually Array Formations.

In other words, Zhou Changtian's special Physique is related to Array Formations.

Later, Zhou Luo also learned through experiments that when this little fellow is setting up Array Formations, the Array Formations within his body will appear.

And after they appear, his comprehension and control of Array Formations will reach an incredible level.

It can be said that he is a congenital Array Formation body.

It just so happened that Zhou Luo was also a Second-Order Formation Master, so he was immediately overjoyed and immediately began to give him detailed guidance.

Under his guidance, although Zhou Changtian has not yet entered the Realm of Array Formations, he has already comprehended most of what he needs to.

He only needs a few more years, when he has more spiritual energy, to easily step into the threshold of Array Formations and become an Array Master.

According to Zhou Luo's estimation, this little fellow will probably become a First-Order top-tier Array Master, and may even step into the Second Order, before the age of twenty.

This is much faster than his brother Zhou Changqing.

"Chang Le, have you finished today's homework?"

Zhou Luo stood at the corridor, looking at the little fellow who was playing, and said in a deep voice.

"Father, I have finished it all," Zhou Changtian stood up straight and said very seriously.

His small stature standing there, coupled with that serious little expression, looked somewhat amusing.

This little fellow has the calmness of his brother Zhou Changle and the liveliness of Zhou Changqing; he is a combination of the two.

Over the years, under Zhou Luo's guidance, the little fellow has perfectly integrated learning and playing, coupled with his astonishing learning speed, allowing him to adapt to what Zhou Luo taught him more quickly and apply it.

Zhou Luo was extremely satisfied with him.

He planned to take him until he reached eighteen years old before sending him to Azure Origin Sect.

"Hmm, you can also review or teach your younger siblings in your free time. Don't play for too long," Zhou Luo nodded slightly.

Just then, a servant quickly came to his side.

"Master, you have a letter."

The other party respectfully lowered his head, raised his hands, and handed a golden letter to him.

Looking at the golden letter and the unique symbol of Azure Origin Sect on the letter, Zhou Luo frowned slightly.

He took the letter, had the servant leave, and then opened the seal.

The first sentence that caught his eye was: To my Father!

"Is it Chang Le's letter? Did something happen to the Heaven Alliance again?"

Seeing the familiar handwriting, many questions subconsciously surfaced in Zhou Luo's mind.
