Chapter 1844: Chapter 1844
Such an adventurous thing, he certainly wouldn’t do it.
And the Flame Prison Phoenix obviously knew its own limits, so it had no objections to his suggestion.
Matters concerning crossing tribulations were always very serious for these Demon Beasts. The source of this content ɪs Nove1Fire.net
After calming the Flame Prison Phoenix, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but think about helping his beloved pet cross the tribulation.
According to his estimate, Baibai should be able to nurture the "Heavenly Gang Thunder-Cleaving Sword" into a Peerless Dharma Treasure in a few years. By then, this treasure would naturally be essential for the Flame Prison Phoenix’s tribulation crossing.
However, considering that the Flame Prison Phoenix wasn’t particularly compatible with this treasure, and that even Baibai destroyed a Peerless Dharma Treasure during its tribulation, it’s clear that relying on just one Peerless Dharma Treasure isn’t enough.
Moreover, he only had one drop of the Myriad Year Spirit Milk left now, so the Flame Prison Phoenix wouldn’t be able to luxuriously consume it repeatedly to restore mana like Baibai.
Hence, aside from tribulation-crossing treasures, elixirs to restore mana must also be prepared for the Flame Prison Phoenix.
Healing Spiritual Objects didn’t need to be deliberately prepared, since the Flame Prison Phoenix had the Divine Skills of an Immortal Body, allowing it a strong self-recovery ability.
Thinking about this, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but sigh headache-inducingly: "I once thought there were too many Dharma Treasures at hand, completely unused. Now, it’s clear I was too optimistic!"
Currently, he and his disciple had a total of about twenty or thirty various Dharma Treasures.
Unfortunately, most of them were Inferior-Grade and Middle-Grade Magical Treasures, providing no help for the Demon Beast’s Heavenly Tribulation Crossing.
Judging by the power of Baibai’s tribulation thunder, High-Grade Magical Treasures could only block one or two tribulation thunders, while Middle-Grade Magical Treasures might weaken the power of one tribulation thunder by twenty or thirty percent at most, which wasn’t as effective as the power of activated Divine Skills.
Currently, Zhou Chun’s only High-Grade Magical Treasure suitable for the Flame Prison Phoenix’s tribulation crossing was a fire attribute banner magical treasure compensated by Ziyang True Person, originally a Lifebound Dharma Treasure left by a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator, whose power was already discounted.
As for the "Dragon and Tiger Golden Rings" he’d previously used himself, they completely clashed with the Flame Prison Phoenix’s own attributes, making them too unfavorable for tribulation crossing.
"Why not find an opportunity to visit the Far Western Lands of the Cultivation Realm?"
Thinking of the Dharma Treasures compatible with the Flame Prison Phoenix’s attributes, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but think of the Far Western Lands of the Cultivation Realm.
Many cultivators with fire attribute cultivation techniques were over there, and with his current cultivation level and wealth, exchanging with several Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators could easily yield one or two High-Grade Magical Treasures.
But after thinking it over, he decided to temporarily put this plan aside.
The Flame Prison Phoenix hadn’t yet successfully cultivated its tribulation crossing secret technique, making it unnecessary to rush into this matter. Unless he was willing to sacrifice a Peerless Dharma Treasure, there was not a great chance of assisting it in successfully crossing the tribulation now.
It would be better to wait until the Flame Prison Phoenix successfully cultivates the tribulation crossing secret technique, and then proceed with resolving this matter accordingly.
Two years later, Zhang Liang, Zhou Family’s Array Master, reached the end of his lifespan.
Before he sat and transformed upon dying, Zhou Chun, together with Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, came to visit him upon hearing the news.
This treatment was quite extraordinary within the Zhou Family at present.
In the room, Zhou Chun looked at the elderly junior who could no longer stand and could only lie bedridden, recalling the scenes of their first meeting years ago, feeling deeply nostalgic.
Then he couldn’t help but softly say: "Elder Zhang, you are among the people I met earliest in the family; meeting once brought to what we have today. Your contributions and achievements to the Zhou Family over the years have been witnessed by me and everyone in the Zhou Family, for which we are immensely grateful. Is there any unfulfilled wish that Zhou Mou can help you complete now?"
Listening to these words, Zhang Liang’s muddled eyes suddenly shone with a glimmer, looking at him excitedly and murmured: "It’s kind of the Clan Leader to remember things back then. It was the Clan Leader who saved me and allowed me to survive, a favor I dare not forget in my lifetime!"
He then murmured, "The Clan Leader saved my life, the Zhou Family gave shelter and taught me reasons, although I am of an outside family name, I have long considered the Zhou Family as my home!"
"Meeting the Clan Leader in this life has been the greatest blessing for me. That I can end my years in the Zhou Family, I have no regrets!"
"Therefore, I have nothing else to ask for now, except to be buried in the same grave with my late wife Xindie, and for the future generations of Zhou Family to sweep and honor our graves. I would be content with that!"
This answer deeply touched Zhou Chun.
He knew that Zhang Liang had indeed left descendants with Zhou Xindie, who included a Foundation Establishment cultivator and several Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators.
If he requested now, it wouldn’t be difficult to assure that his descendants could have a Foundation Establishment cultivator for three generations—something Zhou Chun could certainly accomplish.
However, Zhang Liang didn’t make such a request, showing no intent of seeking benefits.
This was sufficient to prove that his talk of gratitude wasn’t just empty words!
A person might be good at pretending all their life, but at the brink of death, continuing to pretend was unnecessary!
This made Zhou Chun feel somewhat regretful, pondering if there had been more support for Zhang Liang back then, perhaps the outcome today might have been different.
Yet, there’s no medicine for regret in this world. At this moment, he could only somberly nod and say: "Elder Zhang, rest assured, as long as the Zhou Family exists for a day, your and Xindie’s graves will never be neglected!"
"With such words from the Clan Leader, I—I die without regrets!"
The old man on the bed smiled, then closed his eyes permanently with a smile on his face.
"Ancestral Elder, Uncle Elder, you both heard what was said just now. Our Zhou Family has been blessed to have such talent dedicate their life in loyalty to us, and so I suggest that as long as his lineage continues to have cultivators, the most outstanding may receive a Foundation Establishment Pill every generation, unchanged for ten generations!!"
Zhou Chun looked at the old man who had already departed this world, and in a deep voice, expressed the thought to the two elders beside him.
Listening to his suggestion, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi exchanged glances, then Zhou Mingde sighed with emotion: "Ah, if I had known this child had such loyalty, we should have supported him to attempt Core Formation, and even Xindie might have fully assisted her in developing the Purple Mansion!"
He solemnly nodded and said: "I have no objections to your suggestion, Zhengchun. This matter will also be announced to the whole clan as a tribute to his loyalty and contributions to the family!"
Zhou Daoyi also nodded, indicating his agreement.
