Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1227 - 517: Minor Heavenly Tribulation [Subscribe Please]_4

At the same time, amidst the wailing and despair within the gates of Green Lotus Temple, Zhou Chun, who was outside and tensely observing the changes in the thunderclouds above the sky, quickly noticed the dispersal of the thunderclouds.

When he saw that the Heavenly Tribulation had not descended and the thunderclouds had scattered, he naturally quickly understood what had happened.

His expression immediately relaxed, and he couldn’t help but burst into joyful laughter: "Hahaha, it really failed! The ’Heart Demon Calamity’ truly lives up to its reputation!"

He was more jubilant than during the New Year.

He certainly had every reason to rejoice.

Taoist Qingchen’s failure in forming his Nascent Soul and his demise under the ’Heart Demon Calamity’ not only confirmed the irreversible decline of Green Lotus Temple’s fortune but also deprived it of a highly powerful Late Stage Golden Core cultivator at the peak of perfection.

With this outcome, even if Green Lotus Temple were to trouble the Zhou Family later, the Zhou Family would face one less formidable adversary!

In his excitement, he couldn’t resist pulling out a gourd of spiritual wine from his storage pouch, taking a hearty swig, and leaving the Green Lotus Mountain Range with a smile plastered across his face.

Now that the result was set, all that remained for him and the Zhou Family was to patiently await Green Lotus Temple’s next move.

After Taoist Qingchen’s failure and death, the mountain closure of Green Lotus Temple would likely be impossible to maintain. Soon, news from the mountain would undoubtedly spread.

When Zhou Chun returned to the Zhou Family’s Tuyun Ridge, he immediately relayed the news of Taoist Qingchen’s failure to the family’s upper echelons.

Like him, the Zhou Family’s leadership was overjoyed upon hearing the news, promptly taking out spiritual wine to celebrate.

Within just a few days, the news of Taoist Qingchen’s failure and demise under the ’Heart Demon Calamity’ spread swiftly throughout Jingguo Country.

For a time, this incident became the hottest topic in the cultivation realm of Jingguo Country.

Meanwhile, as the outside world was fervently discussing Taoist Qingchen’s failed Nascent Soul formation, inside the mountain gate of Green Lotus Temple, the Golden Core cultivators there had emerged from their grief and despair. Under Temple Master Taoist Yiyang’s leadership, a high-level meeting was convened.

Taoist Yiyang first swept his gaze across the Elders present, then spoke in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Qingchen’s failure in forming his Nascent Soul, according to his instructions before his passing, means that all his belongings will be donated to the sect, marking his last contribution to the sect!"

"Next, the sect will build a symbolic tomb for him and have all disciples mourn him."

After pausing briefly, he continued: "Of course, these arrangements have already been prepared. But now, let’s move on to the main focus of today’s gathering!"

"With Senior Brother Qingchen’s failure, Green Lotus Temple’s prestige will undoubtedly suffer another heavy blow. Various pessimistic opinions have surfaced within the sect, and there is unrest among the disciples. I trust all the Elders here have witnessed or heard about these recent developments."

"If we don’t take action to restore the sect’s prestige and authority, then both the forces allied to us outside and the restless disciples within the sect will inevitably begin questioning and undermining the sect’s stature, directly impacting its interests and reputation!"

"More importantly, during the twenty-plus years of the sect’s mountain closure, a force has emerged outside that significantly threatens the sect’s interests. If we allow them to continue developing steadily, once the two-hundred-year protection period secured by Ancestor Qingxiao comes to an end, the sect’s standing will undoubtedly face a challenge from this force!"

At this point, Taoist Yiyang turned his gaze to Master Qingwei.

Then, in a calm voice, he asked, "Junior Brother Qingwei, you were the previous Temple Master of our sect. The current clan leader of the Zhou Family, Zhou Zhengchun, was once your registered disciple. You should be the most familiar with him and his family. Do you have anything you wish to say?"

Upon hearing this, Master Qingwei replied without hesitation: "If Temple Master Senior Brother seeks my opinion, then my suggestion is that we must deal a heavy blow to the Zhou Family. Even if we cannot annihilate their clan, we must ensure they can no longer pose a threat to Green Lotus Temple!"
