Cangzhou.

Spiritual Shell Island, the Zhou Family’s territory.

A continuous cluster of palaces was scattered around the Zhou Family’s fourth grade spirit vein. The buildings were faintly discernible in the ethereal clouds.

In the palace on the tallest spiritual mountain in the clan, two young Taoists were sitting in front of a chessboard playing chess.

They were the two most powerful figures of the Guang ‘an Prefecture’s Zhou Clan, Zhou Minghao, and Sword Immortal Zhou Mubai.

Zhou Minghao held the black piece in his hand. With a” pa ” sound, the black piece fell.

On the chessboard, Zhou Mubai’s dragon had already been slaughtered.

“Mubai, you lost.”

Zhou Minghao put his hands into his sleeves and smiled.

Zhou Mubai looked at the densely packed chessboard and smiled helplessly. He cupped his hands and said,””Clan Leader’s chess skills far surpass mine, Mu Bai is convinced.”

Zhou Minghao looked at Zhou Mubai meaningfully.””It’s not that my Go skills are far better than yours, but that you’re not sure.”

As he put away the black chess pieces on the chessboard, he said,””Have you heard about the spirit stone coins circulating in Guang ‘an City recently?”

When he heard the Clan Leader talk about serious matters, Zhou Mubai said with a solemn expression,””I’ve heard of it.”

“The Chens ‘prodigy is truly talented and courageous. Not only has he comprehended sword essence at a young age and stepped into the second level of the Form Realm, but he also has an extremely far-sighted vision.

Once word of the spirit stone coins spreads in Guang ‘an Prefecture, the Chen family will be able to control all of Guang’ an Prefecture’s business activities in the future. At that time, the Chen family will become the uncrowned king of Guang ‘an Prefecture.”

As the last black chess piece fell into the urn, Zhou Minghao raised his head and looked at Zhou Mubai.” Mubai, I know you and Chen Daoxuan are brothers, but you can’t forget that you are the pride of our Zhou family and the hope of our Zhou family!”

After saying that.

Zhou Minghao stood up and looked at the clouds outside the palace.

“Mubai won’t dare to forget!”

“What the Zhou family wants to do is to become the number one family in the Gang Province. Mubai, what you have to do is not only to restore the glory of our ancestors. I hope you can take a step forward and lead our Zhou family to become a family like the Jiang family in the Tai Province and the Ji family in the Jing Province.”

Zhou Minghao turned around and looked at Zhou Mubai.” Do you understand?”

Zhou Mubai’s expression darkened slightly, but his gaze became firm again.””Mubai understands.”

“Alright.”

Zhou Minghao nodded in relief.” Chen Daoxuan wanted to use the spirit stone coins to control the commerce and economy of Guang ‘an Prefecture. However, he forgot that we are cultivators, and cultivators…In the end, it still depends on strength!”

“Ancestor, could it be that you want to…”

Zhou Minghao shook his head and laughed.” Don’t worry, 1 won’t break the alliance of the Cangzhou tribes. I just want to completely integrate the Cangzhou cultivators before breaking through to Jindan, just like Taizhou and Jingzhou.””

“Patriarch, what do you plan to do?”

“Let’s just rely on our strength.”

Zhou Minghao sighed and said,” Ever since the Ye family lost power, the Azure Continent has been leaderless for decades. It’s time to end this chaotic era. I think this is not only the vision of my Zhou family, but also the common vision of the various prefectures and clans in the Azure Continent.”

“Speak with strength…”

Zhou Mubai muttered.

There were only two ways for cultivation forces to use strength to speak. The first was to break out in war. This kind of war could be divided into all-out war and controllable local war.

Obviously, this method was not in line with the situation in Cangzhou, and the Qianyuan Sword Sect would not allow it.

The other method was for the cultivation forces to send experts to “spar” with each other.

This method was much gentler than the war between the cultivation forces.

It was more in line with the current situation in Cangzhou.

“Patriarch, didn’t you want to push the Chen family to the front and let my Zhou family secretly control the situation in Cang Prefecture?”

“Yes! But 1 realized that 1 had misjudged one person.”

“You mean Brother Chen?”

Zhou Minghao was silent for a long time before he sighed and said,””From his actions, it is not difficult to see that Chen Daoxuan is not willing to be under others. Wanting to control such a person is no different from a fantasy.”

“In the end…Do we still have to go this far?”

“Mubai!”

Zhou Minghao frowned slightly.

“Patriarch, don’t worry. 1 know what to do.”

Zhou Mubai smiled.” Besides, we’re only going to decide who’s the leader of Azure Continent. We’re not going to destroy the other races.”

“It’s good that you understand.”

Zhou Minghao nodded.” Once this matter is over, 1’11 step down from my position as the clan leader and focus on breaking through to the Golden Core realm!”

“Patriarch!”

Zhou Mubai suddenly stood up.” But your Great Dao Realm has just advanced to the second level. If you break through now, will you…”

“I know,”

Zhou Minghao sighed.” But I can’t wait any longer. If I wait any longer, I’m afraid I’ll lose my drive to improve. By then, my future will be even more bleak.”

Zhou Mubai clenched his fists.

Although Zhou Minghao’s cultivation level had long since advanced to the peak Purple Prefecture Realm, his mastery of the Dao of the Arts had only just advanced to the second level. He was still inferior to Chen Daoxuan’s mastery of the Dao of the Sword.

At this level, even if he could form a Golden Core, it would be difficult to overcome the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation that followed.

After all, the lightning tribulation was the power of the Heavenly Dao. Cultivators had no choice but to rely on their own strength to resist it.

However, just as Zhou Minghao had said, he was already old. If he did not form his Golden Core now, his lifespan would be nearing its end, and his chances of breaking through to the Golden Core would be even slimmer.

Besides…

As long as the Zhou family had a prodigy like Zhou Mubai, they would only grow stronger and stronger. There was no possibility of them declining.

Since the matter behind him had been decided, why not fight with all his might?

If he succeeded, he would be able to enjoy a few hundred more years of lifespan. If he failed, he would only become a pile of bones a few decades earlier..
