Chapter 651: Double Happiness (2800 Added)

The third year since the founding of the Extreme West Alliance.

The Alliance Leader, "Saint Heart Scholar," issued a crusade order against the branch of the "Black Demon Sect."

In an instant, the entire Far West was in an uproar!

As for the cultivation families and small sect forces in the Lin Kingdom, which were under the jurisdiction of the Haoran Sect and had recently joined, they knew it was time to show their loyalty and vied to join the war—at least on the surface, they were quite eager.

"Yao Huo! Be careful in everything during this trip to the front lines."

Aaron lifted a pot of wine and filled the cup for the Foundation Establishment cultivator before him, almost wanting to pinch a bit of yellow soil into it and add the instruction: "Better to seek a handful of soil from home than to miss ten thousand taels of gold in a foreign land."

After all, after reaching Foundation Establishment, family resources really didn't amount to much, so wasn't it just a matter of desperately talking about dreams and painting big pictures?

That's right!

After the new exchange rules were promulgated, this Foundation Establishment Pill was still obtained by Li Yaohuo.

Times change, after all...

At this time, it had already been converted into a joint camp.

Streaks of light flew onto the large Flying Boat Magic Tool, and then the flying boat started up, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

The reason the small family alliance was able to occupy the Lotus Pond last time without suffering a backlash was also due to the endorsement of Shen Qingchen.

"Please rest assured, Ancestor!"

Over these fifty years... the Extreme West Alliance and the Black Demon Sect branch had fought several major battles, with victories and defeats on both sides, and many cultivators had fallen.

On this day, a ray of light flew in low-key and landed in front of the Shen Family gate.

"Old friends are half scattered..."

Not only that, the Head of the Family of the Li Family also persuaded Li Ling Mu and others not to compete with Li Yaohuo.

Aaron sat on a sandalwood chair and said calmly: "The older I get, the more I miss old friends... Have there been any news of Niece Shen recently?"

Besides this, there was also the deterrence of Aaron, a Foundation Establishment Mid-stage cultivator.

Li Yaohuo drank the wine in his cup in one gulp: "I'm off!"

Some busybodies even made rankings for this, and things like the "Seven Fairies" and "Ten Great Foundation Establishment" were, in Aaron's view, typical of people with nothing better to do.

"Top-tier Magical Tool!"

And the last time they attacked the Zhang Family, it was also the other party who provided the information.

Looking at Aaron, whose face remained unchanged due to practicing the Mingyu Art but who had a faint air of twilight about him, the old Head of the Family of the Shen Family could not help but shed tears: "Li Ruyue... is your health still well, Elder?"

So many years had passed; calculating it, this Ancestor was probably nearly two hundred years old, and his lifespan was coming to an end, right?

Coming back this time, was he perhaps preparing to choose a piece of land with good feng shui?

"Reporting to the Ancestor, Ancestor Qingchen has already headed to the Great Gan... When she last contacted us, she also had someone deliver a Jade Slip!"

Although he couldn't make it into the "Ten Great Foundation Establishment," he had made a name for himself in the subsequent "Foundation Establishment Minor Ranking," being hailed as a new star of the cultivation families and the future great prosperity of the Li Family!

This made Aaron a bit angry... I'm not dead yet, and they're already thinking about usurping the throne one by one!

"Also... in the eyes of outsiders, the once powerful Li Qingjing is already a setting sun, with cultivation only at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage... indeed, he cannot compare to Li Yaohuo."

No matter how good or perfect a rule is, it still requires people to execute it.

That kind of despair where one cannot break through the bottleneck no matter how one practices, and is even stuck for decades, is enough to make any Foundation Establishment cultivator collapse and eventually give up on themselves.

The Qi Refining cultivator guarding the gate immediately bowed respectfully, knowing that this Foundation Establishment Dashiu was of a very high generation, being of the same generation as their own family's Foundation Establishment elders.

Yet, there were still some people who were very persistent about this empty fame and wouldn't let it go.

At this time, he was still injecting the Dharma Power obtained from his practice into the "Black Jade Seal" as usual.

Lotus Pond.

Then, he returned to Xiaoyue Mountain.

"Sigh... time spares no one... *cough cough*..."

Fifty years ago, after receiving notice from a mysterious person that the Zhang Family Ancestor and the Patriarch had both fallen, they took advantage of the chaos in the Qingding Sect to unite a group of Qi Refining families, led by the "Shen" and "Zi" families, to attack and destroy the Zhang Family and occupy the territory of the Lotus Pond.

The Boundless Desert to the east of the Far West was already vast and desolate, and with the deliberate blockade by the Black Demon Sect, the danger level was very high.

Aaron left the Lotus Pond and used the "Thousand Illusion Mask" to disguise himself as Li Qingjing, only looking much older.

Although his daily practice time was short, it was unwavering, and his routine was quite regular.

He had thought that this old Foundation Establishment cultivator wanted to retire at the Shen Family...

In the guest hall of the Shen Family.

Of course, this was not because he had two thousand contribution points, but because Li Linghai had lent them to him.

However, this time, after the Black Jade Seal swallowed a large amount of Essence Qi, the whole thing suddenly trembled, and the black Black Tortoise on it seemed to come alive, roaring toward the sky.

In the blink of an eye, another fifty years passed.

After all, in this way, the Lotus Pond would have two Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding it, and even the Li Family of Xiaoyue Mountain would not dare to invade! —Well, at least in the eyes of the Shen Family, that was the case.

For example, in this great war, according to the orders of the Haoran Sect, the Li Family had to provide at least one Foundation Establishment cultivator, four Qi Refining Perfection cultivators, and a large number of ordinary cultivators to serve as cannon fodder.

Aaron took it and looked, discovering it was a map.

At the same time, more genius cultivators were rising to fame, ascending by stepping on the bones of their peers, some even able to fight across a small realm, and were hailed as peerless geniuses.

A route that was relatively safe was definitely worth a fortune!

"Niece has a heart. But I am an old bag of bones, and I don't want to go to the Great Gan to venture anymore..." Aaron sighed, patted his bottom, and left directly, which left the old Head of the Family of the Shen Family somewhat stunned.

The old Head of the Family of the Shen Family hurriedly took a Jade Slip from his Storage Bag and handed it to Aaron.

Aaron knew this clearly, but he did not interfere.

It is said that even several Golden Core Ancestors died in battle!

However, for Aaron, this was just daily life.

For instance, that Li Yaohuo is considered a permanent fixture on the front lines; having even received Spirit Pill rewards for repeated meritorious service, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has now broken through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage.

Originally, the Li Family and the Zhang Family were located quite close to each other; otherwise, the Zhang Family would not have conceived the idea of seizing the Spirit Vein of Xiaoyue Mountain.

And at this moment, it was also convenient for Aaron, as he could look after both sides.

"It's Senior Fang!"

It was not that other cultivation families were not tempted, but after testing the waters, they all ended up humiliated, and knowing there was someone behind them, they could only accept this result in silence.

After returning to his Cave Abode, he checked the front-line battle reports as usual.

And considering family contributions, as well as Aaron's status as a Second-tier Alchemist, there was no way he would be allowed to take his old bones onto the battlefield in person.

Aaron turned around, looking at the large number of Li Family members on Xiaoyue Mountain, most of whom were the old, weak, sick, and disabled, their gazes following the direction in which the Flying Boat had disappeared... He sighed and waved his hand: "Everyone, disperse!"

Aaron returned to the practice room and began his daily meditation and cultivation.

The twelfth level of the Mingyu Art had already been mastered to perfection, with absolutely no room for further progress.

The former territory of the Zhang Family.

Sunsets and stars shift.

The rules might not have loopholes, but people do!

On the contrary, seeing the Li Family's cohesion so high, he was quite gratified; the tools in his hands were even easier to use now.

As a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator who also owed the family a mountain of debt, Li Yaohuo had no choice but to volunteer to go.

Hmm, although Shen Qingchen's status in the Qingding Sect was somewhat awkward, now that they all belonged to the Haoran Sect, past matters no longer counted for much.

Aaron's eyes lit up, knowing that after fifty years of his cultivation, this Spirit Tool had finally reached the level of a Top-tier Magical Tool!

Furthermore, due to the blood sacrifice, it was connected to his mind, and its power was definitely above that of an ordinary Top-tier Magical Tool!

"Good... with this Seal completed, I can consider myself to have a trump card."

Aaron laughed heartily.

Then, he sensed something, hurriedly sat cross-legged, and silently circulated his profound art... discovering that the bottleneck that had trapped him for over fifty years, from the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, had finally... broken!
