Chapter 1846: Chapter 1846

As maternal family cultivators, they basically all have descendants, and those descendants all carry the Zhou Family bloodline, mostly bearing the surname Zhou and are registered as Zhou Family cultivators in the Zhou Family genealogy.

These descendants, as Zhou Family cultivators, will receive the same treatment as other Zhou Family cultivators in the future, without the restraints called "surname" holding them back.

In this way, the heights they cannot reach themselves might be achieved by their children and grandchildren.

Perhaps in years to come, their descendants can also become elders of the Zhou Family, establishing their own factions within the family!

To be able to single-handedly secure three generations of wealth and honor for one’s descendants is indeed a great achievement!

This might be a choice made out of helplessness, but it is also a relatively acceptable choice for them.

After all, if they can’t compete with certain people themselves, then competing through descendants is an idea ingrained in the bloodline of the Human Clan from ancient times.

"This is indeed an unexpected delight."

When Zhou Daoyi informed Zhou Chun of the situation he discovered through investigation, Zhou Chun nodded slightly in agreement.

Upon hearing this judgment, Zhou Daoyi kept nodding and said, "It truly is an unexpected delight, and since there is someone like Zhang Liang, perhaps we should abandon some of our past prejudices and give more opportunities to cultivators like Zhang Liang, who are both grateful and capable."

"After all, with you, Zhengchun, overseeing the family, even if a few Golden Core Stage cultivators from outside the surname enter the family, there is nothing to fear!"

These words, coming from his mouth, also drew a glance from Zhou Chun.

All along, the most vigilant against the maternal family cultivators in the Zhou Family were Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi.

Now even he relented, proving that Zhang Liang’s words at his end had a great impact, truly reversing some of their ingrained notions.

"Could this also have been Zhang Liang’s intention?"

Zhou Chun’s eyes flickered, wondering if he was overthinking it.

However, he quickly discarded the idea, as there was no way he could verify it with Zhang Liang anymore.

Now, he just needed to be pleased with the change in mindset of Zhou Daoyi and the others.

He then said with a tone of reflection, "It’s delightful that you think this way, Uncle Ancestor. Inclusiveness is strength, and our Zhou Family should now break away from old practices and forge a new path, making the Zhou Family a family not only for its members but also for all those who serve it!"

"Zhengchun, I will remember your words carefully. I hope this time we won’t entrust the wrong people!"

Zhou Daoyi nodded gently, his words filled with emotion.

Zhou Chun saw this, knowing he might need more positive feedback to truly resolve old grievances, so he silently noted this.

And with a slight change in perspective, Zhou Daoyi’s attitude towards some outstanding individuals among the maternal family cultivators shifted promptly, conveying the family leadership’s changing view towards the entire maternal group through these individuals.

In no time, this news was hotly discussed within the maternal clan, sparking numerous speculations.

The ordinary Zhou Family cultivators, however, had no opinion on this.

The Zhou Family was now in a period of rapid ascension, as long as family cultivators were willing to work hard and had talent, resources would be readily exchangeable from the family resources.

Even if the family leaders allocated some resources to maternal family cultivators, it would not encroach on their share, and naturally, they would not be resentful.

After all, the other half of the maternal family members are their clan siblings, certainly happy for their spouses to live better lives within the family.

And some forward-thinking core members and elders of the Zhou Family knew that such major decisions must have clan leader approval, so even if they had some thoughts, they would not express them for now.

All in all, for those cultivators who serve the Zhou Family, now is the best time!

With Chunjun True Person and Silver Dragon Monarch, both Fifth Order beings, overseeing above, and countless visible rare spiritual objects piled within the Family Treasure Vault, simply by diligently cultivating and undertaking tasks to earn merit points, one could easily exchange for what they need from within the family.

This favorable treatment is something that cultivators from middle and small powers and loose cultivators alike can only dream of. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel✶fire.net

Yunzhou, Sunken Moon Lake.

The land of Yunzhou is crisscrossed with water networks, with numerous rivers and lakes, and among the many lakes, Sunken Moon Lake is not particularly well-known.

This lake isn’t large, with only one to two hundred li of waters, but it is incredibly deep, with the deepest parts reaching even a thousand zhang!

After Yunzhou was completely overtaken by Demon Beasts and transformed into a Monster Domain, Sunken Moon Lake became a habitat for some demon beast species migrating from Dragon Abyss Marsh.

Currently, there are three kinds of demon beast groups inhabiting Sunken Moon Lake: the Green-Eyed Black Toad, the Ink Cloud Crocodile, and the Black-Headed Flood Dragon.

Among them, the Black-Headed Flood Dragon clan possesses a relatively rich Flood Dragon bloodline; upon reaching adulthood, their descendants can ascend to the Second Order, and as they break through to the Third Order, there is a low chance of transforming into Dark Flood Dragons or Ink Flood Dragons.

Therefore, this clan has become the overlords of Sunken Moon Lake, occupying the underwater spirit vein at the center of the lake, with Third Order Black-Headed Flood Dragons that failed to transform into Flood Dragons residing there.

Both the Green-Eyed Black Toads and Ink Cloud Crocodiles have a trace of the Ink Flood Dragon bloodline, which allows them to coexist by Sunken Moon Lake alongside the three-headed Black Flood Dragons. Although they have no Third Order demon beasts, they do possess some Second Order demon beasts.
