Chapter 639 -329: Foundation Establishment Pills Sold Out [Subscribe Requested]
Regarding the impending war in Fengguo, after the trio from the Zhou Family had met, they all decided to pay it no heed and just observe.
They were all very pragmatic.
Though Fengguo was once their homeland, the Zhou Family had already established their roots in Jingguo Country and simply could not return.
ell in Jingguo, only slightly better than the Spirit Beast Manor.
Had it not been for the significant contributions and sacrifices they made during the Southern Expedition, the current state of both families could have been much more dismal.
Now, with the Spirit Beast Manor’s allegiance to the Tianjing Sect, both the Li Family and the You Family had become objects of suspicion by the Green Lotus Temple, putting them in an awkward position.
...
Thus, after learning that the Jingyang Sect was colluding with the Zhengyang Sect to declare war on the Corpse Demon Sect, they began to entertain thoughts of returning to their homeland.
It was then that Zhou Chun obtained more detailed intelligence about the Zhengyang Sect from the two families.
According to the messenger from the Li Family, the Zhengyang Sect was a Cultivation sect even more powerful than the Moon Wheel Sect, with four Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, one of whom was in the late phase of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Furthermore, the Cultivation Techniques and secret techniques practiced by the disciples of the Zhengyang Sect were mostly restraining against yin and evil spirits, and several exorcism charms secretly passed down by the sect were famous across various countries.
Once, a sect scarcely weaker than the Corpse Demon Sect, known as the Earth Ghost Sect, had a conflict with the Zhengyang Sect. They extracted the Divine Soul of a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator from the Zhengyang Sect and sacrificed it to create a ghost.
This incensed the Zhengyang Sect, prompting several Nascent Soul Stage elders to lead an army on a campaign far from their homeland. They besieged and killed two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of the Earth Ghost Sect within their own halls and eradicated the entire sect.

After that battle, the disciples of the Zhengyang Sect could walk about without fear of being insulted by many.
It was precisely because of such formidable military achievements that the Li Family and the You Family believed the Corpse Demon Sect might be defeated this time and began to consider returning to their homeland.
Not only did they wish to return, but they also hoped to bring the Zhou Family with them.
After all, if they were to re-form the Sanjue Sect, the involvement of the Zhou Family was indispensable.
Otherwise, if two families formed a sect and had any disagreements, without a third party to mediate and smooth things over, conflicts could easily escalate and result in severe clashes, something both sides would not wish to see.
This lesson had been proven many times over the more than a thousand years of the Sanjue Sect’s history.
Moreover, due to their currently lesser strength compared to the two families, were the Sanjue Sect to be re-formed, the majority of power would still lie within the two families possessing Golden Core Stage Cultivators.
Unfortunately, Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde, and others were well aware of their own family’s affairs and the intentions of the two families.
No matter what the Li and You families said, Zhou Chun just shook his head, firmly stating that he would not give up Jiufeng Ridge, the base that they had fought so hard for.
Seeing that they could not persuade the Zhou Family, and also fearing that pushing Zhou Chun too hard might lead him to report them to the Green Lotus Temple, the Li Family and the You Family said no more.
ed only vigilance towards the Tianjing Sect, without any intention to join them.
One day, another Zhou Family Cultivator, Zhou Zhengbo, accumulated five thousand points of merit and exchanged them for a Foundation Establishment Pill from Zhou Chun.
Zhou Zhengbo was also a disciple who had previously participated in the Tianjing Conference. His Cultivation Level had advanced to the twelfth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm soon after the conference.
Thanks to his father being one of the “Jia” generation elders of the Zhou Family, Zhou Jiagong, with the help of his parents’ fund-raising efforts, he was finally able to secure this opportunity ahead of others.
In fact, by now, the elders of the “Jia” generation in the Zhou Family were passing away year by year. For instance, Zhou Jiacheng, who had failed in Foundation Establishment, and Zhou Jiawei, who was adept in the Art of Poison Making, had both passed away one after another.
