Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

In cultivation, years pass unnoticed, winters and summers go by without knowing the time.

In the blink of an eye, seven years had passed since Zhou Chun returned to the Green Lotus Mountain Range for secluded cultivation.

During these seven years of seclusion, Zhou Chun's cultivation level and mana had greatly improved, getting closer to breaching the barrier of the Golden Core Late Stage.

In terms of the "Taiyi Dual Soul Splitting Technique," he had also successfully practiced the first layer, successfully splitting off a soul division.

It should be mentioned that in the inheritance Zhou Chun acquired alongside the "Slaying God Technique," there was also a secret technique called the "Soul Division Technique," which could similarly allow Golden Core Stage cultivators to split off several soul divisions.

However, the soul divisions split by the "Soul Division Technique" had no ability to grow, and the more soul divisions there were, the more the main divine soul was weakened. If a soul division perished, it would significantly damage one's divine soul.

Therefore, even though he could have practiced this secret technique long ago, he always avoided it with reverence.

Comparatively, the "Taiyi Dual Soul Splitting Technique" was much more profound and mysterious.

This technique, although it could only split off one soul division, endowed the division with strong growth potential, and, as the division grew and strengthened, it could even nurture the main divine soul in return.

Should there ever come a day when this technique's third layer was successfully cultivated and a second Nascent Soul was formed, it would not only equate to gaining another life, but the main divine soul would also be fully compensated for the original divine soul consumed during the split through nourishing benefits, perhaps even expanding further!

In terms of its value, the "Taiyi Dual Soul Splitting Technique" was in no way inferior to the "Purple Brilliance Subdue Demon Divine Light."

Unfortunately, even though Zhou Chun had successfully cultivated the first layer of the "Taiyi Dual Soul Splitting Technique," progress afterward was not very smooth.

According to the secret technique, for the "Taiyi Dual Soul Splitting Technique" to advance rapidly, the split soul needed to possess a corporeal body, preferably that of a human cultivator who could practice cultivation techniques.

But here's the rub, once the soul division occupied a fleshly body to become an avatar, it must be kept by his side at all times.

And if the avatar were to perish, the "Taiyi Dual Soul Splitting Technique" would be ruined, with no possibility of retraining, and it would also cause some damage to the main divine soul.

This was not an advantageous proposition for the current Zhou Chun.

So after pondering for a while, Zhou Chun decided not to rush the cultivation of this secret technique, opting to wait until after transforming an elixir and forming an infant, when he would have ample defensive prowess, to focus on elevating this secret technique without haste.

And with seven years having passed, Zhou Chun's spirit pets, who consumed the Spirit Apricot Fruit, each reaped substantial benefits.

Among them, the Flame Prison Phoenix made the most significant progress, with its cultivation level visibly outpacing the other spirit pets.

Zhou Chun estimated that it might very well advance to a Fourth Order superior Demon Beast right after he broke through to the Golden Core Late Stage.

Following closely were the Wood Charm, Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai, Golden Winged Tiger, and this time, the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone was lagging behind the others.

But it was not concerning, as during his previous review of alchemy recipes, Zhou Chun discovered that among the alchemy recipes left by Xuanfeng Nephew, there was a spirit pill applicable to both human clan cultivators and demon beasts.

When Luo Qingni eventually concocts that spirit pill, Zhou Chun plans to use it to further nurture his spirit pets, ensuring they don't fall too far behind him.

All in all, after spending so many years together, Zhou Chun regarded these old companions who accompanied him throughout his growth with a focus on companionship, unwilling to abandon any of them!

On this day, after seven years in secluded cultivation, Zhou Chun finally emerged from his retreat.

A few days prior, Zhou Daoyi had someone relay a message that Zhou Zhiying had succeeded in the Nascent Soul Formation in Tianyuan Immortal City and was currently stabilizing his cultivation level.

Zhou Chun planned to visit Tianyuan Immortal City to meet with his disciple soon, continuing to have spirit pets escort him to retrieve treasures from the cave secret realm.

Prior to that, there were matters within the family that required his attention.

After leaving seclusion, the first person Zhou Chun met with was his junior, Zhou Yuanlian.

"Have you made up your mind? Are you sure you want to attempt Core Formation now?"

Inside the cave mansion, Zhou Chun looked at the somber junior in front of him and asked in a low tone.

In response to his inquiry, Zhou Yuanlian nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes, I am ready, and I ask the Clan Leader to grant permission!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun simply nodded noncommittally before suddenly asking, "How is Wu Yuzhu faring now? Do you think she will be willing to remain with the Zhou Family in the future?"

Zhou Yuanlian was momentarily taken aback, then replied softly, "Yuzhu has been at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage for many years, only lacking the assistance to establish Purple Mansion Spiritual Objects. Given her aptitude, it shouldn't be difficult to open the Purple Mansion with such assistance."

At this point, she paused and thought slightly before continuing, "As for whether she would be willing to stay with the Zhou Family, I cannot assure you. Perhaps it requires the Clan Leader to personally speak with her."

"I understand. Then, I wish you success!"

Zhou Chun cast a deep look at this junior and then bestowed upon him the promised "Golden Chalice Toxic Dragon Fruit" along with a portion of "Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid" and "Extreme Cold Ice Marrow Liquid."

Fortunately, he had previously exchanged some Nascent Soul Spirit Material in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and with the Nascent Soul Spirit Materials exchanged for battle merits obtained over these years, he was able to provide for Zhou Yuanlian as well, even after offering Zhou Zhiying a set of Nascent Soul Spirit Material.

However, this means he would need to think of a way to gather more Nascent Soul Spirit Material in the future.
