528: Fifty years in a hurry

Fifty years later.

Zhou Luo's Realm was completely stabilized after repeated Dual Cultivation sessions, coupled with the tempering of his Physique by the Mystic Lightning Divine Body and the refinement of his state of mind by the Serene Heart Cleansing Mantra, he could finally attempt to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

And in these fifty years, he had fathered a total of sixty-two offspring, his Aptitude points were only one step away from breaking through to the Six-Rank Spiritual Root.

As for his lifespan, it had already exceeded a thousand years, longer than even those Nascent Soul Great Cultivators.

Furthermore, the most intuitive feeling brought by his long lifespan was that his physical condition could always remain as it was in his youth, with vigorous vitality, showing no signs of aging at all.

These sixty-two children also brought him over sixty chances to draw.

Although he had enough draws, no treasure that amazed him appeared.

Except for Physiques and Bloodlines beneficial to future generations, most were things that Foundation Establishment cultivators could use.

But these things could no longer satisfy the current Zhou Luo.

Now that he was on the verge of breaking through to Golden Core, such treasures could at most only be used by his own children.

In fact, this was exactly the case; he handed over the various Foundation Establishment Cultivation Methods, Foundation Establishment artifacts, etc., that he had drawn to the promising children of the Zhou Family.

Some of these children were his own, while others were his children's children.

Without exception, they all cultivated in the Azure Origin Sect.

The Azure Origin Sect was not a charity; without contributions, they would not receive the best treatment.

But Zhou Luo's appearance provided them with enough immortal opportunities.

With these Cultivation Methods, artifacts, and other treasures, they could also progress faster in the Sect.

Especially children like Zhou Changqing, who had started cultivating in the Sect early, because of Zhou Luo's help, they made even faster progress on the path of cultivation.

Although they had not yet entered the Golden Core Realm, their overall strength already surpassed that of their peers, becoming representatives of the Sect's young elites.

The children's influence was continuously expanding within the Azure Origin Sect.

In addition, Zhou Luo also began cultivating his own forces for the Zhou Family.

According to the strategy of previous years, he would send promising children to the Azure Origin Sect.

But as he had more and more children and the Zhou Family's influence continuously expanded, the Azure Origin Sect also began to resent this.

Although they also hoped to recruit a large number of promising young Disciples, the Azure Origin Sect was not named Zhou.

Although they didn't know why Zhou Luo could father so many promising children, if this trend continued...

The young Disciples of the entire Sect would gradually be occupied by the people of the Zhou Family; it seemed fine now, but in the long run, it was feared that the Azure Origin Sect would truly be named Zhou.

Zhou Luo also understood the Azure Origin Sect's thoughts, and coupled with his larger plans, he no longer sent Disciples to the Sect, but cultivated them himself instead.

Anyway, the Cultivation Methods, treasures, etc., he had drawn over the years were enough for the Disciples of a Zhou Family.

Currently, within the entire Zhou Family, the number of Qi Training cultivators alone already exceeded the total of the other three Longevity Families, and Foundation Establishment cultivators, not including those Disciples in the Sect, also reached a full seven.

Besides Lin Xi, Lin Xuanfeng, who had once caused him quite a bit of trouble, also successfully advanced.

This fellow was quite a sensible person; although his methods were somewhat dark, after assessing the situation, he willingly joined the Zhou Family and became an important figure responsible for Qingtian City for the Zhou Family.

Besides him, several Elders also all advanced.

They had already stayed at Qi Training Layer Nine for many years; now, with Zhou Luo's help, it was a matter of course.

However, in exchange, Zhou Luo also made them take his specially made poison.

After all, their surname was still Lin; to be on the safe side, full preparations had to be made.

This way, these Foundation Establishment cultivators dared not have any other thoughts and wholeheartedly cultivated the younger generation for the Zhou Family.

It can be said that currently, the entire Zhou Family has clearly become the largest force in the Qingyuan Domain, second only to the Azure Origin Sect.

Countless small families and minor forces have successively chosen to join.

Even the Zhang Family, one of the Longevity Families, also had thoughts of merging.

There was nothing they could do; back then, he and the Lu Family had jointly blocked the Lin Family, resulting in Zhou Luo's eldest son, Zhou Changan, dying in that battle.

Zhou Luo had always remembered this matter.

Although he had secretly signed a contract with the Zhang Family at that time, now, with the growing power of the Zhou Family, under Zhou Luo's hint, the Zhou Family was also gradually encroaching upon the Zhang Family's assets.

This led to the entire Zhang Family being unable to sustain itself due to shrinking assets.

This scene naturally also greatly shocked the Wang Family and the Li Family.

The Wang Family was fine, as they had always been allies, and coupled with the presence of Wang Yuwei, they were not worried about what the Zhou Family would do.

But the Li Family was different.

Over the years, the Li Family had always been the neutral party, leaning towards whoever had the advantage.

But he didn't have a major reliance like Wang Yuwei in the Wang Family; now that the Zhou Family had made a move against the Zhang Family, the Li Family was certainly next.

On this matter, the new head of the Li Family made a decisive move and began extensive intermarriage with the Zhou Family.

Speaking of intermarriage, it meant continuously marrying off the promising young generation of the Li Family, regardless of gender, to the other party.

Although this would cause the Zhou Family to enter a state of decline for a long time in the future, being able to preserve the Li Family was already very good.

The Li Family's decisiveness also made the Zhou Family temporarily abandon its encirclement.

Zhou Luo's idea was very simple; before plotting for those Immortal Cities, he had to first merge the other major Longevity Families.

Now the Zhang Family was already in his grasp; although the Li Family was still holding on, with the addition of their Family Disciples, it was actually indirectly increasing the Zhou Family's power, and the entire Li Family was essentially defunct.

Only the Wang Family remained; although Wang Yuwei didn't care about this Family, Zhou Luo still didn't make a move.

Because Wang Lang was also a direct descendant of this Family, he planned to let him take control of the entire Wang Family.

Thus, among the former Five Great Evergreen Families of the Qingyuan Domain, one was taken over by him, one was personally destroyed by him, and the other three were basically defunct and about to completely disappear.

The Zhou Family would soon become the largest Immortal Family in the Qingyuan Domain, and its influence would also expand unprecedentedly.

Regarding this matter, the Azure Origin Sect side had actually reacted as well.

But the high-level opinions were divided, and in the end, it was left unresolved.

After all, although Zhou Luo was expanding, he didn't pay any less Spirit Stones to the Azure Origin Sect, and even paid more.

Coupled with Zhou Luo's continuously expanding current influence, everyone also coveted it.

The most crucial point was that the Wan Gu Sect and the Azure Spring True Sect simultaneously sent a letter to the Azure Origin Sect.

The content of the letter was very simple: Do not touch Zhou Luo.

This greatly shocked the high-level members of the Azure Origin Sect, as they didn't expect the two major Sects to value him so much.

In fact, this was still thanks to Yao Wu and Wang Yuwei.

Now, their status in the Sect was different from before.

Especially Yao Wu, this Lord of the Blazing Sun Mountain, under her and Zhou Changtian's efforts, the entire Lieyang Mountain also underwent earth-shattering changes...
