After saying this, the two Jindan cultivators turned around and fled without even stopping for a moment.

This kind of attitude where an uncle obeys his nephew's orders and a cultivator of a higher level respects a cultivator of a lower level would definitely not happen in other families or sects.

But in the Zhou family, neither Zhou Tianyi nor the two Jindan cultivators themselves felt that there was anything wrong.

In fact, this is true.

Although the Zhou family of Qingli Island has always maintained the strength and foundation of having a Jindan cultivator in the family, it is only a maintenance.

It was not until Zhou Tianyi was promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage and took on the position of Patriarch of the Zhou family that the Qingli Island Zhou family finally made a breakthrough from one to two.

To date, the Zhou family already has an ancestor in the late Jindan stage, two cultivators in the early Jindan stage, and a cultivator in the middle Jindan stage who is hiding behind the scenes...

Although the means behind this fortune are not very glorious, in this chaotic sea of ​​stars, even if you don't have a bad heart, it's hard to survive!

As an internet-addicted youth who had read countless novels about cultivating immortals in his previous life, Zhou Tianyi did have some ideas about how to make his fortune in a righteous way, but that required strong strength to support it, and at least a Yuanying Zhenjun to back him up.

Before that, killing people, stealing treasures, and exploring secret places were the fastest ways to make a fortune.

Of course, on the surface, the Zhou family also has a lot of legitimate income, such as the green carp they raise, the spiritual wine they brew, and the various puppet magic tools and elixirs they sell.

Adding up all the miscellaneous income, one can earn tens of thousands of spirit stones every year.

This total income may seem like a lot, but when it is distributed equally, there won't be much left.

After all, the family still has to support four Jindan cultivators, more than twenty foundation-building cultivators, and hundreds of Qi-training cultivators.

Especially the four Jindan cultivators, their expenses are more than the hundreds of foundation-building and Qi-training cultivators behind them combined.

Not to mention that the family also has to maintain the island's spiritual veins, upgrade the island protection formation, organize a family competition every five years, etc...

If you calculate carefully, the Zhou family's expenditure will be greater than their income.

As the head of the family, Zhou Tianyi wanted to give his clansmen the best resources, so he had to take an unconventional approach.

Looking at the two beams of light escaping into the sky, Zhou Tianyi's expression changed from joy to calm.

Now is not the time to be happy.

Obviously, there was a treasure unearthed in the sea not far away, but the Zhou family could only eat some scraps and get some soup from the pot.

This is really not something to be happy about for the ambitious time traveler Zhou Tianyi.

"Take your time."

"Sooner or later, I will lead the Zhou family to ascend to the immortal world and become an immortal clan that enjoys eternal immortality!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Tianyi put away his storage bag, turned around and walked into the weapon refining room on the side of the hall, and began to refine magic weapons as usual.

…

…

Starry Sea, Zizhu Island.

Seven days and seven nights have passed since the major forces entered the outskirts of Zizhu Island.

Until this night, the purple spiritual bamboo that was hundreds of feet tall suddenly bloomed with dazzling purple light.

In an instant, the area within a hundred miles was illuminated by purple light, as if entering a magnificent purple fantasy.

All the monks from powerful forces who were sitting cross-legged on the flying boats were startled and looked at the towering purple bamboo with surprise and joy.

"Quick, look over there!"

"The Immortal Root is finally coming out!"

Facing the excited and expectant gazes of all the cultivators, the brilliance of the purple spiritual bamboo gradually faded.

The next second, the excited expressions on all the monks' faces became stiff.

I saw that the island where the towering purple bamboo originally existed was now empty.

"Where's the immortal root?"

"Where is my huge immortal root?!"

The faces of many monks from major forces changed drastically.

But soon, they discovered another shocking thing.

“The Immortal… the Immortal Root… seems to have taken a new shape!”

"What?!"

The monks opened their eyes wide and looked at the sky above Zizhu Island in astonishment.

I saw a young man in a purple robe, with a handsome face, a purple jade hairpin on his head, and skin as crystal clear as jade floating in the air, looking at the sky above his head thoughtfully.

At this moment, an incomparably pure spiritual energy emanated from the purple-robed young man, instantly covering an area of ​​a hundred miles.

All the cultivators who came into contact with this spiritual energy were cheered up. Those who had not encountered any bottlenecks saw their cultivation improve as a result. Those whose cultivation had stagnated even noticed that their bottlenecks were loosening, and there seemed to be a trend of breaking through.

"It is indeed a precious immortal root!"

The monks all looked surprised, their eyes filled with excitement and greed.

The cultivators from the eleven major forces were all ready to make a move, wanting to step forward and fight for this transformed immortal root.

“Boom!!!”

At this moment, deafening thunder came from the sky.

Rolling dark clouds appeared out of thin air above the head of the purple-robed young man and spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

In just a short moment, thick dark clouds had covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles, and were still spreading to further places.

“Boom!”

There were flashes of lightning and thunder, and countless purple lightning snakes snaked and jumped among the clouds, brewing a terrifying power.

All the monks from the sect who were planning to take action stopped and stared in amazement at the thundercloud of astonishing size above their heads.

In the Tianhua Realm where one can ascend to heaven after reaching the Spirit Transformation stage, even the most powerful and renowned Nine Dragon Sword Master is only in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation stage.

Even if one advances from Nascent Soul to Spiritualization, the thunder tribulation that one experiences is at most a thousand feet in size. How could one have ever seen such an exaggerated thundercloud...

"This...what kind of thunder tribulation is this?"

"Could it be the sixty-nine thunder tribulation?"

"No, it's impossible. Even the sixty-nine thunder tribulations could never be of this magnitude!"

Luoyue Sect's Sect Master Qiu looked at the sky with shock on his face, muttering, "If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be... the calamity of becoming an immortal!"

……What?

Sect Leader Qiu's words reached Lin Zhongtian's ears from a distance of several miles, causing a look of surprise to appear on his face.

The tribulation of becoming an immortal?

What does that mean? Are you trying to force him to ascend?

No, no, no!

The time traveler hasn’t been found yet, how can he ascend to the fairyland now?

Lin Zhongtian made the decision without hesitation, and without waiting for the thunderclouds to drop the lightning, he took the initiative to wave his sleeves.

In an instant, a strong wind blew, and countless pure spiritual energy swirled around Lin Zhongtian in the most violent way, forming dozens of spiritual energy whirlpools.

Then, the spiritual energy vortexes gathered together and turned into a violent spiritual energy storm, sweeping towards the thunderclouds covering an area of ​​100 miles in the sky.

“Huff—”

The spiritual storm slammed into the thunderclouds with great force, and was then quickly annihilated by the dark purple thunder that was jumping in the clouds.

Lin Zhongtian: “…”

Sure enough, without practicing any magic, spiritual energy alone is just a beautiful paper tiger.

Lin Zhongtian waved his sleeves with disgust on his face, dispersing the huge vortex of spiritual energy around him, and then looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky again.

This time, he said softly, "Open!"

In an instant, the thunderclouds within a radius of a hundred miles were torn apart in the middle, and a silver crack like a natural moat appeared in the sky, cutting off the dark purple thunderclouds in the middle, and then spreading out in layers to both sides.

As soon as the words fell, the sky opened.

Such a horrifying method deeply shocked all the cultivators in the Star Sea.

Those monks who had originally planned to flee from here to avoid being affected by the thunderbolt forgot to run away and just stared blankly at the sky.

“Boom!”

At this moment, two purple lightning bolts as thick as houses suddenly fell from the thunderclouds on both sides.

The young man in purple robe put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. Without any movement, a silver barrier appeared above his head.

In an instant, the purple divine thunder collided with the silver light barrier, and then like a waterfall rushing down, splashing onto the ground, instantly disintegrating into countless smaller purple arcs.

Dense purple arcs of electricity spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

Black marks appeared wherever it passed. Those were the cracks left by the thunder tearing through the space.

It was not until the crisis was imminent that the monks who were closer to the thunderclouds finally reacted.

But it was too late to escape now.

As a result, hundreds of monks were struck to pieces by purple thunder in fear and despair.

When the other monks saw this scene, they were so frightened that they immediately activated their flying magic weapons and fled into the distance without looking back.

At this time, Lin Zhongtian no longer cared about these monks. He was looking at the silver barrier above his head with surprise.

I saw that at this moment, several black cracks appeared on the solid space barrier.

"This thunder can actually shatter the space?" Lin Zhongtian looked surprised.

But he changed his mind and thought that if this was really a thunder tribulation that could lead to immortality, it would be abnormal if it did not have such power.

"Interesting..." Lin Zhongtian showed an interested look on his face, "What a coincidence, I also have a kind of thunder that can distort space, I wonder how it compares to yours..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhongtian raised his palm and clapped it upwards.

In an instant, dazzling golden thunder emerged from his palm and blasted towards the sky.

The hundred miles of thunderclouds seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly a dark purple bolt of lightning three times thicker than the previous one struck down.

The two thunders collided with each other, and then after only a moment of stalemate, the dark purple thunder shattered the golden gravitational thunder, and fell on Lin Zhongtian's head like a sword or an axe.

"boom!"

The thunder dissipated in all directions, and the dazzling purple lightning illuminated Lin Zhongtian's regretful face.

"Sure enough, this thing is more powerful!"

Before he finished speaking, silver cracks appeared out of nowhere.

A slender and powerful hand stretched out from it and actually grabbed a streak of dissipated dark purple lightning.

The next second, Lin Zhongtian's huge figure walked out from the silver crack, holding the dark purple thunder in his right hand, and looked up at the sky and shouted arrogantly.

"Give me a few more, I'll study them!"

“…”

In response to Lin Zhongtian's arrogant provocation, Baili Leiyun suddenly fell silent.

Just when Lin Zhongtian thought it was about to give up, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket and purple with gold in color suddenly struck down.

Wherever it passed, the space was shattered. Even the space barrier that Lin Zhongtian had previously erected was easily shattered by this purple-gold thunder, which penetrated through layer by layer and bombarded Lin Zhongtian.

"boom!"

The thunder dissipated, and Lin Zhongtian stood in the air, bathed in the lightning. After a long silence, he whispered, "I'm sorry, the power was a bit too strong this time. I wasn't prepared just now. Can you do it again?"

Thundercloud: “…”
