Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Zhou Mingde’s words that were meant to awaken and enlighten indeed caused both Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi to freeze in place, prompting them to bow their heads in deep reflection.

Zhou Mingde’s words couldn’t be said to be entirely correct.

Especially equating a Dao Companion to a rare treasure of heaven and earth, which Zhou Chun found difficult to agree with.

However, some of what he said did make sense.

Reflecting on his approach to choosing a Dao Companion, Zhou Chun realized that his definition of a Dao Companion indeed varied quite a bit from the essence of the term "Dao Companion".

Because of the memories from his previous life, he seemed to have simply defined a Dao Companion as a wife, looking for one with the criteria for finding a wife.

This was actually incorrect!

If it was just about finding a wife, then by his standards, anyone fair, virtuous, and good at managing household affairs would suffice.

But a Dao Companion was different.

A Cultivator’s definition of a Dao Companion is a partner who can pursue the path to immortality together.

She or he must be on the same level in terms of aptitude, cultivation level, and comprehension, able to aid in one’s own journey of cultivation without being a hindrance, and even able to offer support for progress.

No Cultivator would willingly choose a Dao Companion who would be a burden, no matter how much they liked them.

And a suitable Dao Companion meeting this criterion is very hard to find; the higher a Cultivator’s cultivation level, the harder it is to find an appropriate Dao Companion.

Many Cultivators at the Golden Core Stage keep several or even a dozen concubines, yet may go their entire lives without finding a single Dao Companion.

Moreover, no matter how much they may favor a particular concubine, they would never elevate her to the status of a Dao Companion.

In this respect, the direction of Zhou Chun’s search for a Dao Companion was clearly wrong.

Therefore, when Zhou Mingde said his mindset was incorrect, he wasn’t mistaken.

Another point is that as a Clan Leader, if he could demonstrate the importance of taking concubines and producing offspring for the Family Cultivators by example, it would indeed have a substantial exemplary effect. @@novelbin@@

Of course, this is not a necessity, but doing so is better than not.

Having reflected up to this point, Zhou Chun could easily understand why Zhou Mingde was so angry when reconsidering the matter of becoming Dao Companions with Su Yuzhen.

Clearly, besides the emotional foundation that Zhou Chun valued, Su Yuzhen perfectly met all the criteria to become his Dao Companion.

If they could become Dao Companions, at least before reaching the Golden Core Stage, neither would hold the other back; instead, they could both provide help to one another, mutually enhancing their cultivation.

Such an ideal Dao Companion, which others could only dream of, was someone Zhou Chun was trying to push away, even at the cost of offending Golden Core Stage Cultivators. It was no wonder Zhou Mingde was furious!

Perhaps Su Renmei and the Ancestor of Su Family felt similarly to Zhou Mingde, completely taken aback by Zhou Chun’s aversion to this opportunity that came knocking.

The difference in perspectives created a significant divergence between Zhou Chun and pure Cultivators of this world like Zhou Mingde and the Ancestor of Su Family regarding their views on matters.

In the past, Zhou Chun often managed to spot the shortcomings of family affairs with his unique perspective and proposed effective solutions, bringing great benefits to his family.

This time, however, the result of his personal views on the matter seemed too unconventional, making it difficult for others to comprehend.

So was Zhou Chun’s perspective wrong?

Or were the perspectives of those Cultivators from this world like Zhou Mingde mistaken?

Zhou Chun himself couldn’t judge.

He wouldn’t think of himself as wrong, as that would be to deny himself.

But he also wouldn’t think the world was wrong, as that would be the behavior of a madman.

Perhaps, he should try to change his own views, compromising and integrating with the realities of this world, to form a new perspective.

Over the years, his style of handling affairs had changed in this way, starting from initially copying the regulations of his former life to gradually adapting to the circumstances and people, learning to act according to the actual conditions of this world.

Now, to let some changes occur in his views on choosing a spouse was also acceptable.

At this thought, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but bow deeply to Zhou Mingde and said, "Supreme Elder has taught me well, my previous attitude indeed had some issues, and I shall certainly correct my mindset and clarify my heart."

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde’s expression softened slightly, and he nodded lightly, "If you can recognize that there was a problem with your attitude, then the old man’s words just now were not in vain. Of course, my words were a bit harsh, don’t take them too seriously, let bygones be bygones."

"Yes, I understand," Zhou Chun replied respectfully, and then he left the mountain cave dwelling first.

Afterward, Zhou Chun began to mobilize personnel and resources from every direction, preparing for the excavation of the Mystical Crystal Stone Mine at the Frontier Base.

Under his arrangement, Zhou Jiapeng also hurried to the Frontier Base to take charge and safeguard the interests of the Zhou Family there.

Three months went by, and eventually, Su Yuzhen arrived at the Zhou Family.

She came alone without any elders from the Su Family accompanying her.

Upon hearing of her arrival, Zhou Chun stood in place with mixed emotions for a long while before he calmed himself and personally went to the mountain gate to welcome her inside.

Then, he led her to the mountain peak cave dwelling to meet with Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, the two Supreme Elders.

"Yuzhen pays respects to the two seniors. In the future, I may cause you some trouble, so I ask for your kindness and indulgence," she said.
