Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 373 - 204: Zhou Family Celebration, Setting Off for

But if the Zhou Family could achieve a good result at this "Hundred Clans Conference" and leave a deep impression on the observers, they would have to think twice, whether they wanted to befriend or beco enemies with the Zhou Family Cultivators in the future.

After riding for several days, the Zhou Family party arrived smoothly outside the Yunyue Mountain Range in Yunzhou.

At this ti, there were less than five days left until the official start of the "Hundred Clans Conference," and Cultivators from all directions were converging towards this location.

For the Cultivation families coming from various parts of Jingguo Country to attend this grand event, it was like a display of divine skills by the "Eight Immortals crossing the sea," each demonstrating their unique powers.

Families like the Zhou Family, that were relatively close to the event, usually arrived on various Mount Beasts, and so were even flown over by Foundation Establishnt Cultivators carrying others.

However, for Cultivation families coming from territories governed by the Moon Wheel Sect and the Sunfla Sect, because of the distance, they chose to fly to the location.

As the Zhou Family mbers rode their unique Octagonal Aquatic Deer into the Yunyue Mountain Range, the sight of this mount, so different from the common Ink Scale Steeds and Wind Treading Colts used by others, indeed drew the attention of many Cultivators.

Those who knew the Zhou Family’s na and had so understanding of their situation imdiately began to show off their knowledge, clicking their tongues as they inford other unaware individuals about the Zhou Family’s general situation.

Although the "Hundred Clans Conference" required participants to be from various Cultivation families, it did not forbid Loose Cultivators and other Sect forces from coming to observe the battles.

Moreover, there would be a trade convention and an auction held afterwards.

Hence, the number of Loose Cultivators converging on the Yunyue Mountain Range from various places was also extrely large.

"Xiao Ran, Xiao Qi, pay close attention. This is the team from Jiufeng Ridge’s Zhou Family in Lanzhou. They are also known as the Spirit Beast Zhou Family. The Family Cultivators all train a Spirit Pet with strength comparable to their own. That particular Demon Beast is called the Octagonal Aquatic Deer, a unique Mount Beast of their family. Should you encounter soone from the Zhou Family in the future, make sure not to provoke them unnecessarily!"

On a mountain peak, upon seeing a herd of deer galloping over from not too far away, an elder with white hair suddenly sharpened his gaze and urgently advised the few fascinated younger mbers of his family clan with a serious deanor.

He was the Supre Elder of a small family clan from Yunzhou. After learning about the "Hundred Clans Conference," he had brought along a few young descendants to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge, so that they would not offend any powerful clan forces carelessly in the future, thus bringing disaster upon their own family.

Big family clans like Jiufeng Ridge’s Zhou Family were precisely the forces that their kind of small family clan needed to pay special attention to.

As the Zhou Family party journeyed on, many others, just like the white-haired elder, took the opportunity to caution their younger companions.

The Zhou Family Qi Refinent Realm Cultivators in the team might not be able to hear these warnings, but they could certainly feel the surprise and admiration in the eyes of the other Cultivators they encountered on the road.

This filled them with intense pride, smiles adorned their faces, and their desire for victory strengthened even more.

Rarely did they get such a chance to be brought by the family to an event where they could showcase themselves—they naturally wanted to repay the family and prove themselves with victory after victory.

For many of them, this might be the only opportunity of their lifetis.

But just as the Zhou Family group was hurrying towards the "Hundred Clans Conference" venue deep within the Yunyue Mountain Range, Zhou Daoyi, who was leading the team, suddenly seed to sense sothing and abruptly looked up towards the sky.

Seeing his gesture, Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun, and others also had their expressions change, hurrying to look up into the sky as well.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a yellow and white stele asuring over a dozen yards in length suddenly ca flying through the air.

A man in yellow robes stood at the front of the stele, hands clasped behind his back, gazing down at the mountains and rivers below with an indifferent and rciless look in his eyes.

Behind the man in yellow robes, a group of more than twenty Cultivators of various ages stood in two rows, talking animatedly about the people sitting or walking on the ground below, seemingly comnting on sothing.

The stele moved at a great speed, quickly flying over the heads of the Zhou Family group.

Even Zhou Mingde, a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, did not manage to draw more than a glance from the man in yellow robes on the stele.

"Golden Core Cultivator! And he seems to be more than just at the early phase of the Golden Elixir Stage!"

Zhou Mingde shifted his gaze away from the stele that had already disappeared into the distance and spoke his assessnt in a solemn, low voice.

At this mont, the smiles on the faces of the Zhou Family Cultivators had all faded away.

When the gaze of the yellow-robed man on that stele swept over them, they all felt a sense of respectful awe deep within themselves, and involuntarily lowered their heads.

In their perception, they were like ants on the ground, while the other was a soaring eagle high in the sky.

The pride and confidence they had previously found in others crumbled instantly under that indifferent and rciless stare, not a trace remaining.

"That stele, it’s a Dharma Treasure, isn’t it? Could it be that predecessor’s Lifebound Dharma Treasure?"

Zhou Chun, after all, had seen a few Golden Core Stage Cultivators up close, and he quickly regained his composure. He looked at Zhou Mingde with curiosity and asked the question that was on his mind.

Although he had interacted closely with a few Golden Core Stage Cultivators, this should be the first ti he had seen a Dharma Treasure with his own eyes.

And he had heard and seen many legends about Dharma Treasures.

"It’s hard to say whether it’s a Lifebound Dharma Treasure or not, but it’s definitely a Dharma Treasure, that’s for sure."

"You all should know, Dharma Treasures can not only be refined and used by Golden Core Stage Cultivators, but also possess varying Divine Skills. They can be small as dust to be nurtured within the body by a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, or as large as mountains, possessing the might to burn mountains and boil seas!"

Zhou Mingde glanced at Zhou Chun and answered his question in a low voice.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Let’s go, we continue forward."

But not long after they continued on, a few clear chirps once again caught the attention of the people from the Zhou Family on the ground.

They saw in the sky, not too far from them, two grey-green giant birds soaring with spread wings, moving very fast in the sa direction as them.

And on the back of those two grey-green giant birds, there were likewise about twenty or thirty Cultivators standing.

"What are those Demon Beasts? They seem to be less than third-rank, yet they can carry so many people!"

Within the Zhou Family’s team, Zhou Jiacheng looked at the two grey-green giant birds with a surprised expression and asked.

"Those are mid-level Demon Beasts, Phoenix Feather Rock Eagles, both second-rank top-tier Demon Beasts. If the information is correct, they should be from the Yan Family of Cangzhou!"

The one who answered Zhou Jiacheng’s question this ti was Zhou Chun.

He had been to Cangzhou before and was sowhat familiar with the famous Cultivation families there.

The Cangzhou Yan Family, because they raised a rare pair of Phoenix Feather Rock Eagles, had also caught his attention when he heard about them.

He had not expected that today he would encounter these Demon Beasts in such a manner.

After Zhou Chun clarified Zhou Jiacheng’s doubts, he spoke with a tone of emotion, "Phoenix Feather Rock Eagles possess both wind and earth Spells, and are very powerful. Fortunately, this pair of Demon Beasts aren’t the Contracted Spirit Pets of the Yan Family’s Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, so we should not encounter them at the Hundred Clan Gathering!"

After he finished speaking, Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi also took the opportunity to caution the younger mbers, "At this Hundred Clan Gathering, powerful families from all over Jingguo Country will co to showcase their family’s heritage and strength. You all should pay attention and learn as much as you can, rember the situations of various powerful families, and after returning, discuss it with your fellow Clan mbers so that we don’t end up in a conflict without even knowing the origins of our enemy!"

"Daoyi is right; although our Zhou Family should indeed show its strength, you must all rember not to disdain other families just because you have so abilities. Be sure to maintain the right mindset and approach with humility," Zhou Mingde nodded and voiced his agreent with Zhou Daoyi’s words.

Having heard the admonition from these two highest-ranking Elders in the Zhou Family, Zhou Jiacheng and other Zhou Family Cultivators indeed beca much more restrained, and the rest of their journey was no longer filled with the arrogance they had shown earlier.
