Zhou Fuqiu arranges for his sister's future before departing for Tian Nan Dao Palace. He entrusts her with his cultivation resources, promises her guidance from the Third Elder, and gives her a martial arts tome. As they reminisce, Zhou Qingyu expresses her sadness and concern about his departure. Afterward, Zhou Fuqiu travels with an ancestor, who demonstrates immense power by altering a river's course to flood and ravage the Yin Family in Cold River Valley, framing it as a natural disaster and beast attack.

The complete annihilation of the Yin Family in Cold River Valley overnight was an event that would undoubtedly draw scrutiny from the Daoist Palace.

Despite this, Zhou Yunshen maintained an air of detached indifference.

"As long as you are present, even if the Daoist Palace harbors suspicions towards me or the Zhou Family, they will not hold our family accountable. On the contrary, this incident will serve as a deterrent to the major powers within a thousand-mile radius, ushering in another century of tranquility for the Zhou Family."

"As for what happens a hundred years from now..."

Zhou Yunshen turned his gaze to Zhou Fuqiu.

Zhou Fuqiu understood, responding, "A century from now, as long as Fuqiu remains, I shall continue to safeguard the Zhou Family!"

"Perhaps!"

A smile played on Zhou Yunshen's lips as he refrained from looking back at the desolate scene of Cold River Valley. He then directed the Flying Boat to ascend once more into the heavens.

In his wake, the turbulent river churned, washing away the remnants of conflict and returning to its natural course, while before them lay an unobstructed path forward.

The eradication of a Golden Core Family held no weight in Zhou Yunshen's mind; instead, he inquired about Zhou Fuqiu's cultivation progress.

"What is your current cultivation realm?"

"I report to Ancestor, I am currently at the Sixth Level of Foundation Establishment."

"Oh, so swiftly?"

The young man did not conceal his cultivation base, revealing the fluctuations of his Spirit Power.

However, after a period of careful observation, Zhou Yunshen clicked his tongue in admiration.

"Such Mana Fluctuation, such Divine Consciousness, already transcend the ordinary standards for one at your level."

Within the world of Immortal Cultivation, the strength of a cultivator's Mana Fluctuation often serves as the basis for evaluating their realm.

This evaluation typically takes into account cultivators who have achieved breakthroughs through conventional means and possess ordinary talent within the same cultivation tier.

However, when faced with individuals possessing special physiques whose Qi Power is exceptionally potent, making a precise judgment becomes challenging.

In Zhou Yunshen's estimation, the Spirit Power fluctuations emanating from Zhou Fuqiu already surpassed that of many newly ascended Golden Core cultivators.

The sole distinguishing factor, he mused, was likely the disparity between Spirit Power and Qi Power!

"Disperse it."

Once Zhou Fuqiu retracted his Spirit Power, leaving no trace of its presence, Zhou Yunshen stroked his white beard and commenced his instructions.

"Reaching the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment should not pose a significant challenge for you. Subsequently, your focus should shift towards achieving Core Formation."

"The path to Core Formation is adorned with countless doctrines, each possessing its own unique complexities."

"Discovering the Core Formation method that best suits you will enable you to achieve twice the results with half the effort."

Zhou Fuqiu immediately grasped the underlying intention of his ancestor.

The journey to Tian Nan Dao Palace, while lengthy, was undertaken at a Flying Boat speed that was not particularly rapid.

It was evident that the Elder intended to seize this opportunity to impart guidance.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Fuqiu bowed respectfully, "I await your instruction, Ancestor!"

Zhou Yunshen offered a gentle smile. "First, I shall impart to you a secret technique, the foundational Core Formation Secret Art of our Zhou Family. Once the initial stages are mastered, your subsequent Core Formation attempts will see a thirty percent increase in success rate!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fuqiu's eyes lit up with anticipation.

...

The Flying Boat continued its journey westward, maintaining a steady pace, neither rushed nor sluggish.

Aboard the vessel, a senior and a junior conversed quietly, the former offering patient instruction.

This tutelage extended beyond mere cultivation knowledge, encompassing vital aspects of combat as well.

At intervals, the Flying Boat would pause, allowing the young man to descend and engage in sparring matches.

Initially, his opponents were cultivators at the Great Cultivator stage of Late Foundation Establishment, followed by those in the Early Golden Core stage, and even cultivators in the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

Such unusual activities naturally piqued the curiosity of the various powers along their route, yet under the overwhelming pressure exuded by Zhou Yunshen, none dared to intervene.

Fortunately, Zhou Fuqiu adhered to Zhou Yunshen's guidance, refraining from delivering fatal blows and instead using these encounters to test his cultivation progress against more formidable opponents.

Time flowed by.

Thus, after more than half a year had elapsed.

This year, Zhou Fuqiu had reached the age of twenty-one.

The Flying Boat hovered stationary outside a mountain range veiled in clouds and permeated with Spirit Qi.

"Tian Nan Dao Palace, we have arrived!"

Zhou Yunshen rose to his feet, his gaze fixed upon the mountain below, his eyes reflecting a mixture of pity and melancholy.

Truly, it was worthy of being the most formidable Holy Land in the Mountain Sea Realm, housing the complete Tianyuan Daoist Sect of an entire continent.

Even though Zhongzhou had fallen, this Tian Nan Continent still harbored a Fifth Order Spirit Vein!

Had I been in my prime, had I comprehended the Water Origin earlier, utilizing this Spirit Vein, I could have relentlessly pursued the God Transformation Realm.

But alas, there are no 'ifs'.

With a profound inhalation, Zhou Yunshen commenced his address.

"The patriarch and scion of the Zhou Family present themselves to pay homage to this sacred mountain!"

Immediately, a resounding voice echoed for eight thousand miles, causing the layers of clouds to recede, unveiling majestic peaks, cascading waters, and magnificent edifices.

So, this is the complete panorama of the Tian Nan Dao Palace?

Zhou Fuqiu's eyes swept over the densely packed palaces and temples, alongside the potent auras emanating from numerous locations, stirring within him a deep sense of ambition.

This is the very place where his future cultivation would unfold!

He resolved to showcase his innate abilities, gain entry into the Dao Palace, conquer every obstacle, ascend to the status of a True Disciple, and ultimately become a pivotal figure within the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.
