554: A single move affects the entire body

On the way back, based on Zhou Changqing's account, Zhou Changle also guessed that the other party's target this time was them.

And mainly Zhou Changqing.

After all, under those circumstances, they probably understood Zhou Changqing's temperament, which was why they made this seemingly flawed plan.

Fortunately, although they knew Zhou Changqing's Physical Body was strong, they didn't know his Physical Body had already reached the quality of a Spiritual Artifact.

Coupled with the other party holding back, this assassination failed.

On the way back, Zhou Changle saw that the other party was fine and sternly reprimanded him for not being steady and careful enough.

And stated that if this situation happened again in the future, he would never leave the Sect, let alone go to the Ancient Ruins.

As the first of Zhou Luo's children to enter the Azure Origin Sect.

Over the years, Zhou Changle, leading these brothers and sisters, clearly acted like an elder brother who was like a father.

Furthermore, because he usually treated them with clear rewards and punishments, everyone was very convinced by Zhou Changle.

Now, under Zhou Changle's stern lesson, the injured Zhou Changqing didn't dare to retort and could only nod silently.

After returning to the Jiang City Zhou Residence, Zhou Changle immediately sent a message back to the Sect.

The Demonic race that attacked this time possessed Golden Core Realm strength, which was beyond what they could resolve.

Unless an existence at the level of an Inner Sect Elder took action.

These matters, presumably, would not require them to worry about.

Moreover, given the Demon Clan's nature, they likely wouldn't harass Jiang City again.

On the other side, the two Demon Clan members fled directly to the vicinity of the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range. With this mission failed, they would use this opportunity to enter the Crimson Radiance Domain and continue completing their plan.

They no longer had time to feel shocked about Zhou Changqing's Physical Body. Now that they had alerted the Azure Origin Sect, they had to escape this great domain as quickly as possible.

Because once a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator took action, they would have no way to escape.

If this ruined the General's opportunity, they would be finished.

Early the next morning, several Golden Core True Persons from the Azure Origin Sect personally arrived in Jiang City, including Zhou Changqing's Revered Master, Celestial Pivot True Man.

This True Person, hearing that his beloved Disciple was injured, rushed over in a great hurry.

After confirming that his Disciple had only suffered a minor injury and had not been corroded by the Demon Clan, he let out a long sigh of relief.

One must know that the Demon Clan's greatest skill was corroding others' minds and turning them into their slaves.

If Zhou Changqing were corroded like this, he would lose a Disciple with immense potential, which would be a huge blow to the strength of his faction.

Don't look at how they are still the ones leading the Sect now.

But what about after several hundred or even a thousand years?

The future of the entire Azure Origin Sect still depended on Disciples with potential like Zhou Changqing.

Even if the Sect's higher-ups were dissatisfied with the actions of the Zhou Family Disciples, they had to admit this point.

Fortunately, everything was safe and sound.

After the investigation, Celestial Pivot True Man took the two of them and left Jiang City.

The remaining two Golden Core True Persons began to track the whereabouts of the two Demon Clan members.

And after this matter spread, it shocked the entire Qingyuan Domain even more.

Demonic race at the Golden Core level, this had not appeared for a long time.

Generally speaking, the Demon Clan would not dispatch clansmen with such strong combat power to do such reckless things.

This made some people realize.

It was likely that the Demon Clan would make a big move.

Precisely because of this matter, the Human Clan became vigilant again, especially during the upcoming Hunting Convention, where it was said that a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator would personally provide protection, precisely out of concern that the Demon Clan might invade.

As for these matters, Zhou Luo, who was in seclusion, naturally did not know.

Fortunately, he had treated this powerful body refinement technique as a Zhou Family secret technique and passed it on to some important Disciples.

Otherwise, once Zhou Changqing became a Demon Clan Puppet, it would not only be a huge blow to the Azure Origin Sect, but even to the entire Zhou Family.

The body refinement technique he taught had invisibly resolved this crisis.

One year later.

The Hunting Convention jointly held by the three domains proceeded smoothly, and because a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator was present, the Demon Cultivators who were originally lurking in the Crimson Light Sect, wanting to take the opportunity to enter the Ancient Ruins, were discovered and immediately suppressed and killed by that Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

And this also attracted the vigilance of other forces in Golden Cloud State, who all began to investigate themselves.

And then they discovered that many Disciples under their Sect had become Demon Cultivators.

Through severe interrogation, they learned that this time the Demon Clan wanted to interfere with the Human Clan's actions in the Ancient Ruins through these Disciples.

It can be said that Zhou Changqing's matter, like pulling one hair that moves the whole body, completely shattered the Demon Clan's plan in this regard.

A month later, the Hunting Convention ended.

Zhou Changle, Zhou Changqing, and Zhou Shiling, three Zhou Family Disciples, successfully obtained the qualification to enter the Ancient Ruins five years later. On the other side, Zhou Shiyu and Zhou Changtian also obtained the qualification without any surprises.

Thus, Zhou Luo's five children would enter the legendary Ancient Ruins five years later.

The opening of the Ancient Ruins this time not only gathered geniuses from the entire Golden Cloud State but also from the other four great states and the Central Continent where the Royal Family was located.

This would be a grand event for young geniuses, and for the five members of the Zhou Family, it was a rare opportunity.

They were about to face new trials.

On the other side, within a cave dwelling in the Core Area of Golden Cloud Immortal City, Zhou Luo also welcomed his first trial.

During his process of condensing the Golden Core, as the embryonic form continuously grew, the power it contained also became increasingly fierce and surging.

Even though he was careful enough, he was still impacted by that power, and his entire Dantian was churning and surging like a stormy sea.

He quickly took out the Pills he had prepared, and after taking them, he began to suppress that power.

Condensing a Golden Core was not as simple as imagined.

Even though Zhou Luo had made ample preparations, he still had to bear huge risks.

Fortunately, his state of mind was stable and unaffected, allowing him to proceed with the condensation steadily.

This was not only thanks to the help of the Serene Heart Cleansing Mantra but also benefited from Wang Yuwei's explanation about the state of mind back then, which allowed him to intentionally focus on cultivating his state of mind.

Now, his mind was already as still as water, undisturbed by external matters.

Not being troubled by Lifespan, he had enough time to Cultivate, which also made him appear more patient than ordinary people during the process of condensing the Golden Core embryonic form.

For a step like this first one, most Immortal only spent three or four years, while Zhou Luo spent a full six years to complete the first step.

Six years later, when Zhou Changle and the others had already set off to prepare to enter the Ancient Ruins for training.

Zhou Luo finally began to let his body adapt to the entire Golden Core embryonic form.

This second step was more dangerous than the first.

Just like breaking through to Foundation Establishment back then, he needed to pass the Physical Body barrier, the Divine Sense barrier, and the magic power barrier.

Every barrier was a challenge for him.

Fortunately, with the help of the Ten Thousand Refinements Spirit Body Art and Lin Qiqi, his Physical Body was already comparable to the Golden Core Realm, so this Physical Body barrier was no pressure for him.

As for the Divine Sense barrier, it was also not difficult because he mastered many techniques.

Only the final magic power barrier caused him a considerable impact.
