Chapter 659: Sand Beasts (3600 Added)

The yellow sand is vast and boundless.

"So this is the Boundless Desert..."

Because there is a Defense Array, the wind and sand outside cannot penetrate the Flying Boat in the slightest.

Aaron looked at the scenery on the deck, then went to a cabin.

Inside the cabin, several Foundation Establishment cultivators were holding a small meeting.

That 'Hua Sanniang' is a person who is adept at social maneuvering and is also blessed with a beautiful appearance, so she easily won over quite a few Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, vaguely possessing the air of a leader.

Aaron does not reject attending such Foundation Establishment gatherings; everyone exchanging insights on cultivation techniques and anecdotes, or even bartering, is a mutually beneficial matter.

However, he has the map given by Shen Qingchen on hand, as well as the 'Blood Burning Escape Technique', so even if chased by a Golden Core Monster Beast, he has great confidence in escaping the Boundless Desert, and in reality, he is not worried at all.

Aaron was meditating and practicing Qi in the cabin when he suddenly felt the entire hull tremble, as if encountering an earthquake.

Aaron knew the other party was retaliating for him calling her Big Sister Hua last time; he couldn't help but laugh inwardly, and not wanting to bicker with a woman, he returned to his own cabin.

"After the Great Reward of Merit, the cultivation forces of various kingdoms have all been reshuffled; new forces rise, and old forces exit... This is also an unavoidable matter."

"What are you fellow Daoists chatting about?"

"The Golden Core Ancestor of the Yaoyue Kingdom's Golden Core Sect died in battle during the Black Demon Sect campaign, and it has been chaotic ever since..."

Besides this, Su Cao of the Haoran Sect, dressed in Spirit Armor, also shamelessly mingled among them, his eyes fixed straight on Hua Sanniang, paying no attention to what the other Foundation Establishment cultivators were saying, his intentions very clear.

'Heh... petty woman.'

"Since Sanniang wishes to see it, this brother will take you to witness it, how about that?"

"It is Chihuo Lao Zu!"

Women, after all, even if they are Foundation Establishment experts, find it hard not to mind their age...

Hua Sanniang gave a triumphant smile and called out a few fellow Daoists; that Wu Sanqi was also among them.

At this moment, several Foundation Establishment fellow Daoists were chatting enthusiastically.

Being under someone else's roof, Aaron did not intend to be stubborn, so he immediately went with the flow and walked toward his cabin.

"Fellow Daoist Shen is here?"

"Little sister still has a few fellow Daoist friends..." Hua Sanniang continued to plead.

Just as the group was looking panicked, a hoarse and rough male voice rang in every cultivator's ear: "I am Chihuo, there are Third-tier Sand Beasts leading a herd blocking the path ahead... Everyone return to your cabins, the Flying Boat has an Array for protection, there will surely be no major issues..."

Women are trouble, and beautiful women are even more trouble!

Aaron revealed a big smile, but this intentional form of address made Hua Sanniang's expression stiffen.

Sure enough, upon hearing this address, the look Su Cao gave Aaron became much softer, confirming that this was not a competitor.

Hua Sanniang sent Su Cao away, then turned to continue flirting with Wu Sanqi, not neglecting a single cultivator.

"Why doesn't Fellow Daoist Shen share some profound insights?" At this time, Hua Sanniang's eyes rolled, and she said with a smile.

'Bottleneck? Is it that hard? Wouldn't it naturally break through after grinding away for a few decades?'

He immediately ended his seclusion and exited the cabin, seeing Hua Sanniang next door also coming out with her makeup in disarray.

And he, 'Shen Fei', is just a little greenhorn...

"What happened?"

This day.

Hua Sanniang's eyes lit up.

At this moment, she happened to see Hua Sanniang coming over with a charming smile, saying delicately: "A Golden Core Ancestor is taking action; little sister has yet to see it..."

"Hmph!" Su Cao, however, had a livid face and stood up directly: "I have patrol duties, so I shall take my leave first!"

Seeing Aaron arrive, Hua Sanniang stood up and gave a graceful bow.

Aaron rolled his eyes in his heart, but waved his hand and laughed: "Big Sister Hua overestimates this little brother; I am shallow in learning... well, let me talk about some insights on practicing spells."

Hua Sanniang said tremblingly.

"Then Fellow Daoist Wu, Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, please!"

Aaron noticed that when discussing the difficulty of bottlenecks, every Foundation Establishment cultivator's face looked unpleasant, clearly all having experienced the agony of being stuck.

"Let's go together... if there are any consequences, I will bear them alone." Su Cao patted his chest, looking heroic and righteous.

"You dare to slander my Haoran Sect?" Su Cao raised an eyebrow.

Alas... halfway there, he was stopped by Su Cao and several patrol team members: "Fellow Daoist Shen, the deck is dangerous right now, please go to your cabin to take shelter!"

"I did not name names..." Wu Sanqi replied lazily: "But I did hear an interesting story... In the Lin Kingdom's Li Family, there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Li Yaohuo who was quite famous in small circles and made it onto the Foundation Establishment Minor Ranking. It is said that he received hints from certain people in the Haoran Sect and brazenly returned home to seize power from the Supreme Elder... As a result, hehe, his family's Supreme Elder turned out to be a hidden Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator, and he hit a wall directly. In the end, it led to a family feud, everyone lost face, the Supreme Elder left in anger, and the Li Family became a laughingstock... Haha... don't you think that's funny?"

"Fellow Daoist, please go ahead!"

Aaron sat on a meditation cushion and asked with a smile.

However, she deliberately skipped over Aaron.

Not long after, another huge tremor came from outside, followed by the cheers of the cultivators: "The Ancestor's divine might!"

"Golden Core Ancestor?" Aaron sighed, while marveling in his heart: 'Finally... is the law of encountering accidents whenever going on a long journey about to happen to me?'

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator from a small family, actually able to cultivate to Foundation Establishment Perfection? Could it be a Heavenly Spirit Root? Or did they have some great fortuitous encounter?"

"Isn't it just the business of small forces... hehe... actually, behind those forces collapsing, there might be big sects fueling the flames..."

Wu Sanqi sneered, glancing at Su Cao, clearly implying something.

And after Su Cao left, the atmosphere became more relaxed, and many Foundation Establishment cultivators discussed some cultivation insights and problems regarding dealing with bottlenecks.

He was experienced in this regard, and after saying a few words, the eyes of Taoist Qingfeng and the others lit up, feeling that the trip was well worth it.

Su Cao immediately changed his demeanor.

The group of Loose Cultivators on the side, however, were worried to death at this moment.

Aaron could not be bothered to invite such trouble, so he simply changed how he addressed himself.

Boom!

"Fine..."

For instance, Su Cao was at odds with Wu Sanqi, who also admired Hua Sanniang, and they had clashed head-on several times.

Even if their divine abilities were extraordinary, they still feared death; such is human nature!

Aaron, however, became interested and wanted to go to the deck to observe the scene of a Golden Core Ancestor battling a Third-rank Demonic Beast.

"Greetings, Big Sister Hua!"

Aaron recognized a few of them, namely the Loose Cultivators 'Daoist Qingfeng', 'Yuanjue Heshang', and 'Wu Sanqi'...

Rumble!

Outside, various crashing sounds were constant, like the footsteps of death, continuously approaching and knocking at the heart of every cultivator.

The massive Flying Boat continued on its journey as if nothing had happened, which actually made Aaron feel a bit disappointed: "Shouldn't the Flying Boat have been smashed, with everyone fleeing for their lives? I am truly not a child of Heavenly Mandate..."

Among them, Hua Sanniang was vaguely the core, and she was highly sought after by several male cultivators.

However, when the few Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators gathered again in the evening, Aaron received news that surprised him slightly:

"What? Fellow Daoist Wu Sanqi accidentally fell off the deck while watching the battle and perished among the sand beast swarm?"
