Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

It was unclear how much time had passed, but Zhou Chun's consciousness finally returned to his body.

He opened his eyes, a glint of spiritual light flashing within them.

Looking at his Dao companion Su Yuzhen, who was seated on him, he saw that she had also opened her eyes, no longer filled with the desire they had previously held.

"So, does this mean the 'Desire Tribulation' is over?"

Zhou Chun asked softly, his voice a bit hoarse.

"Yes, it's over now. It's been hard on you these days, my husband!"

Su Yuzhen nodded with a slight blush on her cheeks, showing a rare girlish shyness.

She likely recalled the various wanton and ridiculous things she did during the "Desire Tribulation".

However, Zhou Chun didn't mind those things. Knowing that her tribulation had truly passed brought a sense of relief to his heart, and he felt genuinely happy for her.

He immediately said, "That's good. Then, wife, you should rest well first. I will go into closed-door meditation to digest what I gained just now."

"Okay."

Su Yuzhen responded softly, preparing to stand up from Zhou Chun.

But as soon as she tried to pull herself away, her legs went weak, and she let out a small cry of "Ah!" as she sat back down.

Her face flushed red as if smeared with rouge, and she bowed her head, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to hide in!

Zhou Chun also found himself speechless, feeling a bit amused.

He understood her current state very well after their countless dual cultivations over those days.

After all, she wasn't like him with a strong physical body, and because of the "Desire Tribulation" being the active contributor during dual cultivation, it was normal for her to be physically exhausted.

He quickly spoke up to dissolve the awkwardness, "Wife, just rest here. I'll head to the cultivation room first."

After saying that, he laid her back down and left the bedroom, heading to the cultivation room inside their cave residence.

Inside the cultivation room, Zhou Chun sat cross-legged beside the Spirit Eye Spring, calming his mind in meditation to digest the gains from the previous Divine Soul Dual Cultivation.

Divine Soul Dual Cultivation is something that can be encountered but not sought, with the first time being the most effective.

For a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator and above, every enhancement of the divine soul essence greatly aids in the improvement of their cultivation level.

Zhou Chun felt that after this Divine Soul Dual Cultivation, the previously solid and sturdy barrier of his realm had shown signs of loosening.

Thus, he was eager to enter closed-door meditation to assimilate what he had gained.

With a round of meditation and regulation, sensing carefully, Zhou Chun confirmed that his feeling was not mistaken.

Thanks to this Divine Soul Dual Cultivation, the barrier of his realm had indeed begun to loosen.

This was undoubtedly delightful news.

If the realm barrier was like a wall, then its loosening was like a crack appearing, the bricks of the wall beginning to loosen.

In the future, every attempt Zhou Chun made to breakthrough would loosen the bricks further until the wall eventually collapsed completely!

In other words, following a step-by-step water-grinding effort, it wouldn't take long for him to break through the realm barrier and advance to Golden Core Middle Stage!

Compared to this significant benefit, the Divine Sense extending another mile or two seemed trivial.

Calculating now, to help Su Yuzhen pass through the 'Desire Tribulation', they had stayed inside the cave residence for over five hundred days, nearly a year and a half!

When Zhou Chun left the cave residence and saw his disciple Zhou Zhiying again, she had already broken through to Mid Foundation Establishment.

At this rate, she would likely attempt to open up the Purple Mansion before turning fifty, much earlier than Zhou Chun's estimate of sixty or seventy.

"Zhengchun, since you've emerged, has Yuzhen successfully completed her tribulation?"

Seeing Zhou Chun come out, Zhou Mingde inquired with concern about Su Yuzhen's tribulation situation.

This matter was of great importance, and he was very concerned.

"Yes, Yuzhen has successfully completed her tribulation and will soon return to the Su Family."

Zhou Chun nodded gently, confirming his guess.

As for the fact that he and Su Yuzhen entered Divine Soul Dual Cultivation, causing his realm barrier to loosen, it involved personal privacy that Zhou Chun chose not to disclose.

This matter, even if mentioned, wouldn't help others as it couldn't be replicated.

"That's good, that's good. Now both the elder and Taoist Friend Su can feel at ease."

Zhou Mingde repeatedly expressed relief.

He then talked about a few significant events that happened over the past year and more.

First, his Spirit Pet, the Fire Divine Jackal, finally broke through to a Third Order Superior Demon Beast, and in a few more years, it could swallow the Fourth Order Fire Qilin Lion Demon Core to attempt breaking through to the Fourth Order.

Second, the Zhou Family had gained a new Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, Zhou Yuanlian, who practiced the Tome of Thousand Poisons.

Third, Baibai, the Thunder Flood Dragon, had successfully infected and mutated into a Dragon Blood Demon Beast from a mid-level Demon Beast, the Green Striped Water Turtle, creating a Dragon Turtle Demon Beast.

These three matters could all be considered happy events worthy of celebration.

After Zhou Yuanlian broke through Late Foundation Establishment years ago, he helped purge the body of the Sunflame Sect Purple Mansion Cultivator Qin Yang of the Flame Prison Peacock's poison. Owing to the special poison's nourishment, his Tome of Thousand Poisons cultivation went smoothly.

After consuming a Purple Dust Pill given by Zhou Chun, he successfully opened up the Purple Mansion at once.

This was something Zhou Chun had anticipated.

Given that Zhou Yuanlian practiced the Tome of Thousand Poisons, his willpower and divine soul were indeed strong, with a success rate of opening the Purple Mansion surpassing many cultivators with Superior-Grade Spiritual Roots.
