Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Yunzhou, Yunyue Mountain Range.

As the first famous mountain of Yunzhou, the Yunyue Mountain Range was not only the location of Yunzhou's largest marketplace, Xianyun Marketplace, but also where several well-known cultivation families from Yunzhou had established their mountain gates.

Even during ordinary times, the silhouette of cultivators could often be seen flitting about within the Yunyue Mountain Range.

Now, with the "Bai Zu Convention" being held here, the Yunyue Mountain Range had become even more a gathering place for cultivators, with practitioners controlling the wind or flying by controlling Qi all over the mountains.

When the Zhou Family group arrived at the location where the "Bai Zu Convention" was being convened, a valley surrounded by mountains, they saw that tens of thousands of cultivators had already gathered both inside and outside of the valley.

Some of these cultivators came in family units, occupying a mountain peak and using spells to temporarily construct stone houses for rest.

Others, in groups of three or five, simply found an open space to pitch a tent or bluntly built a straw shelter.

There were also those who would just find a piece of rock or a tall tree, lay a mat on the ground beneath the open sky, and go about their business casually.

"Let's find a place to settle down for now!"

Zhou Mingde glanced around and calmly stated his intention.

After all, the Zhou Family was, at the least, a famous cultivation family from Lanzhou. They couldn't possibly set up a straw shelter or pitch a tent as their campsite like those loose cultivators and small family cultivators.

However, at this time, the better locations had already been taken by those quick on their feet. It wouldn't be easy for them to find a suitable place.

Especially now, with a mix of dragons and snakes present, the reputation-loving Zhou Chun didn't want to tarnish his family's good name over such matters.

After searching for a while, they finally settled down on a mountain peak over ten li away from the valley.

This mountain peak was previously occupied by a small family, but upon seeing a large group of Zhou Family cultivators arrive, the spokesperson of the small family wisely and promptly vacated the place.

This attitude greatly pleased the Zhou Family group, and as compensation, Zhou Daoyi even gave them a second-grade lower-quality talisman.

After occupying the area, Zhou Daoquan slapped his Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist, releasing his Spirit Pet, the Earth Armored Bear, and instructed it to gather soil and turn it into stone to construct stone houses on the spot.

In less than two hours, seven stone houses had been erected on the mountain peak.

Once the stone houses were completed, Zhou Jiacheng and other accompanying Zhou Family cultivators utilized local wood and stone to quickly build tables, chairs, and beds.

By this time, Zhou Chun, who had gone out to wander and gather information, had also returned to their stationed area.

He slowly said, "I just made a round and asked some earlier arrivals. The people from the three major sects haven't arrived yet, but eight of the Golden Elixir families have already come!"

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde nodded and immediately said, "The people from the three major sects are probably staying in Xianyun Marketplace right now. I'm afraid they won't come until the day before the convention. Those Golden Elixir families, with Golden Core Stage cultivators traveling, don't have to worry about being late. They will probably arrive a day or two before the convention."

After speaking, he waved his hand, "Forget about what others are doing, let's all focus on conserving our energy in the next few days and prepare for the convention!"

The actual situation was pretty much as Zhou Mingde described.

In the following days, although countless cultivation families came from afar, including powerful families like Yan Family from Cangzhou that they had seen before, the figures of Golden Core Stage cultivators were rarely seen.

It wasn't until the day before the convention started that the Golden Elixir families arrived one after another as if by prior agreement.

First, a streak of silver light pierced the sky, ripping through the white clouds to appear over the valley, revealing a giant silver sword and the dozens of cultivators standing on it.

Not long after, a cluster of fiery clouds also arrived, carrying over thirty cultivators with them.

A while later, a blue ribbon also arrived with more than twenty cultivators, the leader among them being a rare sight—a Golden Elixir Female Cultivator.

That day was perhaps when many cultivators in the Yunyue Mountain Range saw the largest number of Golden Core Stage cultivators and Dharma Treasures in their lifetimes.

In just over a day, nearly ten Golden Core Stage cultivators arrived using various Dharma Treasures, providing an eye feast for those cultivators who had arrived earlier.

After these Golden Core Stage cultivators reached the scene with their family's younger generation, nearly every mountain peak they looked at had its original occupants obediently moving away without exception.

Such was the deterrent power of Golden Core Stage cultivators!

In this cultivation world, only the cultivators who have formed a Golden Core could be regarded as powerhouses in their own right, occupying the upper echelons of the food chain wherever they went.

After all seventeen Jingguo families with Golden Core Stage cultivators arrived, it wasn't long before the people from the three major sects also finally made their way from Xianyun Marketplace.

Suddenly, a loud piercing sound filled the sky. First, a huge tower ship radiating silver-white brilliance came flying through the air and slowly descended above the valley.

"It's the Moon Wheel Sect's Moonlight Treasure Ship, the Moon Wheel Sect people have arrived first!"

Upon seeing the giant tower ship, knowledgeable cultivators quickly let out exclamations in low voices.

But before those who witnessed this scene could discuss further, a flash of fire appeared, and a reddish shuttle-shaped Dharma Treasure around twenty to thirty zhang long and more than one zhang wide appeared out of nowhere above the valley.

"It's the Dharma Treasure Sunburst Divine Shuttle of the Sunflame Sect! The Sunflame Sect people have also arrived!"
