508: Surprising physique

Zhou Changle saw further than Zhou Changqing.

He didn't think becoming the person in charge of an Immortal City was a good thing.

On the surface, as a City Lord, he could use the Opportunity to strengthen himself and amass wealth by earning a large amount of cultivation resources, having escaped the Sect's watchful eye.

But in reality?

He remembered Father saying that the Heaven Alliance was just a means; the most important thing for expanding influence was one's own strength and Realm.

Only with strength and Realm could one speak with confidence.

Therefore, he had always acted low-key and lived a simple life, just to reach the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible.

But once he went to the Immortal City, not to mention being disturbed by various trivial matters, just the spiritual energy of the world there would definitely not compare to the Sect's.

If he went to the Immortal City, the Time it would take for him to step into the Golden Core Realm would be greatly delayed.

Although he was still young and could afford to wait.

But what about the Heaven Alliance?

If he was unable to advance to the Golden Core Realm, the Heaven Alliance would sooner or later be divided and eroded by the Sect.

At that Time, all the efforts of himself, Father, and his other siblings would be in vain.

Zhou Changle's words made Zhou Changqing's smile freeze.

He looked serious and asked in a deep voice, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

As the publicly recognized Genius, Zhou Changqing's talent and strength were beyond doubt, but in terms of thinking about things, he did not inherit Zhou Luo's strengths and was slightly inferior to his other Brothers.

So when he learned that Zhou Changle was about to become a City Lord, his first reaction was to be happy for him.

Now that the other party had spoken, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Brother, but this is the Sect's decision."

Zhou Shiling said in a low voice.

Zhou Shiling, wearing a long white dress, had now grown into a graceful, elegant, and beautiful young woman with bright eyes and white teeth, possessing an extraordinary and fresh temperament.

Although she was not as diligent as Zhou Changle, fortunately, she had the opportunities granted to her by Zhou Luo.

Cultivating as an Immortal in the Sect had also been smooth sailing, without encountering setbacks.

Now, she was doing better and better in the position of Outer Sect Deacon, showing a great tendency to become an Outer Sect Elder.

Before Zhou Changle could speak, Zhou Changlun immediately said, "What if Brother is not qualified to be the City Lord?"

The few people instantly looked at him.

They only heard Zhou Changlun say unhurriedly, "According to the Sect's regulations, to become a City Lord, one must first go to the Heart-Questioning Platform to undergo a Dao Heart test to see if you are loyal to the Sect."

"Secondly, you must also pass a comprehensive assessment. Only by passing the assessment can you obtain the qualification."

"Chang Lun, you want me not to pass the assessment?" Zhou Changle asked.

"That won't work. Not to mention this was personally appointed by the Sect Head, besides, if you really tamper with the assessment, once the Sect finds out, everything will be over."

Zhou Shiling raised her voice.

This seemed like a feasible plan, but the risk was extremely high, especially since the Sect's higher-ups were watching.

They would not allow such a thing to happen, and this might even become an excuse for them to target Zhou Changle.

"Sister Shiling, you misunderstood. I'm not asking Brother to pretend to fail the assessment," Zhou Changlun explained.

He looked at everyone and said seriously, "Brother is not the only one participating in the City Lord assessment."

"At that Time, we can also participate, and then defeat Brother in the assessment and replace him as the City Lord."

Zhou Changlun's plan was very simple: since someone had to be this City Lord, why did it have to be Zhou Changle?

Anyway, the standard for the City Lord assessment was that the capable one would take the position. As long as one could pass the assessment, others also had a chance to become a City Lord.

His words made everyone show surprised expressions.

"Then let me go."

Soon, Zhou Changqing voluntarily stepped forward and said.

If anyone present was qualified to replace Zhou Changle, it would definitely be him.

"Chang Qing, don't rush, let's think of other ways."

However, Zhou Changle, as the person involved, did not want his younger Brothers to take risks and wanted to find a better solution.

Especially Zhou Changqing, although his talent was good, he was not steady enough in handling matters. If he were to manage the Immortal City alone, he would likely be schemed against.

"Brother, I..." Zhou Changqing still wanted to say something.

But at this Time, Zhou Changlun interrupted him, "Since I proposed this plan, it is naturally for me to go."

"Chang Lun." Zhou Changle looked at him worriedly, originally wanting to stop the other party.

But Zhou Changlun said seriously, "Don't worry, I have a way to pass the assessment. When I become the City Lord, I can provide you with support."

Since someone had to leave the Sect and sacrifice their cultivation Time, Zhou Changlun chose himself.

The others wanted to persuade him more, but they couldn't change the fact.

At Zhou Residence, Zhou Luo still didn't know his son was facing a crisis.

In fact, even if he knew, he wouldn't pay too much attention, because for them, this was a form of tempering.

Recently, he had successfully found the Materials for refining Second Order Gu and had successfully refined them.

"Qiqi, just do as I say next."

Zhou Luo looked at this stubborn little girl and said in a gentle tone.

"Okay, Brother."

Lin Qiqi raised her head, her small face serious, and her bright eyes carried a hint of joy.

Because just now, the Immortal in front of her said he wanted her to cultivate as an Immortal.

This made Lin Qiqi, who had been looking forward to it for a long Time, extremely happy.

As long as she could cultivate as an Immortal, she could live on and not fail Mother's instructions.

Moreover, as long as she became an Immortal, she would never be bullied again.

It was because of these thoughts that she desperately hoped she could take this step.

Afterwards, Zhou Luo took out the Gu he had already prepared.

Looking at the crystal-clear little bug, Lin Qiqi was very curious.

"Close your eyes."

She obediently closed her eyes, and then she felt an itch on her face, as if something was crawling.

Then the bug crawled along her delicate face to her tender little earlobe and crawled inside.

After it entered, Lin Qiqi only felt a little itch, but there was no other abnormality.

As the Gu disappeared, Zhou Luo raised his right hand, a gentle glow appearing in his palm. He gently lowered it and touched the other party's forehead.

Immediately afterwards, a pure energy entered Lin Qiqi's body, echoing the power of the Gu.

Under the influence of the two forces, a vast and majestic energy erupted in Lin Qiqi's mind and then flowed downwards towards her internal organs.

This energy did not flow along her Meridians; instead, it formed a hollow pillar of light along the Meridians, effectively becoming a new meridian.

Boom—

Just then, Lin Qiqi's small face suddenly turned pale, revealing a look of pain.

And the pillar of light that had originally condensed to act as a meridian shattered in response, turning into countless specks of light, which were absorbed and dissipated by the Meridians.

Zhou Luo frowned.

Under the perception of his Divine Sense, the other party's narrow Meridians were once again impacted.

"What is the reason for this?"

Originally, he had planned to rely on the meridian created by the Gu to transport spiritual energy into her Dantian, allowing it to develop slowly.

But he hadn't expected that the pillar of light would shatter for some unknown reason.

He began to search for the reason and quickly detected a strange force in the other party's Meridians.

The moment his Divine Sense came into contact with that force, he felt an unusually violent aura.

The aura was like a roaring thunder, extremely fierce.

"Special Physique?"
