Chapter 672: Ancestor's Sneak Attack

"I have already realized that to be a Sword Cultivator is to press forward relentlessly and sever everything!"

"Whatever righteous path or broken rules of the Shushan Sword Pavilion there are, they must all be severed!"

"Those who block me shall die!"

"No matter how many Demon Cultivators or Monster Beasts I kill, if I do not slay a fellow disciple of the righteous path, I will never truly break free from my shackles, and my Sword Heart will only be covered in dust!"

"Little Junior Sister, do not run anymore; you are my opportunity to reach the Golden Core!"

Long Ling'er's eyes lit up, feeling that she had gradually touched upon the realm of 'Sword Heart Clarity'; as long as she killed Shen Qingmei, she would surely be able to form her Golden Core on her own, without even needing the aid of Spirit Medicine!

"Die!"

The Sword Escape Technique is the number one escape technique in the Immortal Cultivation World!

'Should I... try playing with a sword as well?!'

Inside a temporarily excavated Cave Abode.

However... he did not refuse to obtain a powerful sword-based divine ability, nor an Invisible Sword!

Pfft!

A strand of Sword Qi slashed through the protective barrier and landed on a snow-white embroidered handkerchief in front of Shen Qingmei, causing her expression to turn deathly pale.

"Disciples of the Shushan Sword Pavilion are truly wealthy... and this is just an Inner Sect Disciple at Foundation Establishment; if it were a Golden Core True Inheritor... I would not be able to defeat them..."

'The methods for refining Dharma Treasures that come with the Mingyu Art are about the same as the Black Jade Seal... no, they might not even be as good as the Black Jade Seal!'

Following this, a burst of black light descended, breaking the woman's four limbs, shattering her meridians, and rupturing her dantian; Long Ling'er let out a miserable shriek and fainted, completely unconscious...

The black-faced Demon Cultivator, disguised as Aaron, looked at Shen Qingmei's retreating back, nodded slightly, and then descended to grab Long Ling'er's head and began to perform the Soul-Searching Technique.

He did not intend to change his main cultivation technique; after all, he had already reached the Golden Core, and changing it would be truly difficult, perhaps even impossible.

Whoosh!

The white-gold Flying Sword in her hand shot into the sky and struck the base of the black jade seal, but it was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, unable to move the mountain-like seal even a fraction!

Not only that, but within the range covered by the seal, all metal objects hummed, as if the Essence Qi of the Five Elements had been disrupted, suffering from immense attraction and suppression.

It is rare to encounter such a decent Inner Sect Disciple of the Shushan Sword Pavilion; I must test it out.

In the distance, Shen Qingmei was closing her eyes, waiting for death, but she did not expect to find a chance of survival in a desperate situation, so she hurriedly controlled her sword and left in a rush...

Even at the very last moment, Aaron took a risk and forcibly searched the memories protected by Divine Sense restrictions.

'She is quite a clever person!'

"No matter how brilliant and talented you are, I have crossed a major realm and launched a full-force sneak attack on you, so you can only kneel!"

"Earth Pole Meta-Magnetic Divine Ability?"

Spirit Pill bait that is highly tempting to Monster Beasts is even harder for ordinary wild beasts to resist.

And the top-tier among Dharma Treasures—the 'Invisible Sword'—is something even a Golden Core Loose Cultivator could not afford even if they went bankrupt!

Following this was a seal made of black jade, emitting a hazy light and pressing down like a small mountain.

"Senior Sister... this junior is willing to hand over the spirit items."

Aaron sat cross-legged, recalling the information he had obtained from the soul-searching, his eyes gradually brightening.

"Besides that... Long Ling'er was actually preparing materials to refine an 'Invisible Sword'... most of the auxiliary materials have already been collected and are all in her Storage Bag; this is my gain now."

"It is a pity that a dead genius is no longer a genius."

After all, most Flying Swords used by Sword Cultivators are made of metal and iron, and except for a few Flying Swords with special textures, they are naturally suppressed by the Meta-Magnetic Divine Ability!

Her 'White Jade Sword' was likewise firmly stuck to the bottom of the pitch-black jade seal, completely losing its ability to change with spiritual intent.

Shen Qingmei's expression was extremely unwilling, but she knew she could not be stingy at this moment.

Just as this thought flashed through Long Ling'er's mind, she saw black demonic fire descending like a blanket, burning her protective Magic Tool to ashes.

Previously, he had not compared it to the Dharma Treasures of other Golden Core Cultivators, but recently, Aaron had actually felt that the power of his 'Black Jade Seal' somewhat exceeded his imagination; it seemed not inferior to the Dharma Treasures of Golden Core Cultivators, and perhaps even superior.

After advancing to the Golden Core, his Divine Sense had also surged; now, as long as he avoided those few Divine Sense restrictions on inherited techniques, the rest of the information was quite good.

And regardless of cultivation, divine abilities, or even Magic Tools... Shen Qingmei was completely behind Long Ling'er.

Furthermore, he had also obtained some things.

This Divine Sense was awe-inspiring, tyrannical, and carried a thick murderous intent!

"A Golden Core Cultivator!?"

Long Ling'er shrieked, as if she had seen a natural predator.

As someone who had been educated about Soul Lamps by Baifeng Xianzi, Aaron did not intend to kill Long Ling'er with his own hands, but he also did not intend to let her return alive.

Aaron fell into deep thought, having more ideas.

Just at this moment, she suddenly felt a powerful Divine Sense descend!

Long Ling'er's five fingers moved like plucking zither strings, stirring up strands of Sword Qi.

'It is not the case that the more Natal Magical Treasures a Golden Core Cultivator has, the better...'

After all, after reaching the Golden Core, the Divine Sense is more powerful and can withstand the Backlash.

Even for a Golden Core Cultivator, wanting to refine a Dharma Treasure is a matter that would bankrupt them.

"Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment? Flawless Golden Core? This girl has quite high aspirations... If we were both False Cores, I might not necessarily be able to handle her... but a genius who has not yet ascended is, after all, still a genius, not an Ancestor!"

After reflecting, he roughly guessed that the several times his Essence Qi was severely damaged and his cultivation dissipated during his Golden Core formation, the 'Black Jade Seal' had likely swallowed eighty percent of the overflowing Essence Qi, leading to the significant progress of this Spirit Tool.

Even the original gravity-based divine ability had advanced into the 'Earth Pole Meta-Magnetic Divine Ability'!

"If this girl forms a Golden Core, she will surely be another True Disciple killing star... because her heart is not at peace, she wants to slay fellow disciples to verify her Taoism? Impressive..."

"'Small Formless Sword Art'—a simplified version of the 'Taiqing Formless Sword Art'... I forcibly searched her soul, but only obtained a fragment."

"You will definitely die today; being able to assist me in achieving the Tao is your honor!"

"This Long Ling'er is worthy of being a leader among the Inner Sect Disciples... she knows quite a few secrets... some of which are quite useful!"

Not long after Aaron abandoned this woman and left, several wild wolves with emerald-green eyes approached, their sharp fangs aiming to bite down on Long Ling'er's neck!

A long time later, a Sword Light arrived in a flustered rage, only to find some white bones, and in a venting manner, it slaughtered all the nearby wild beasts...

Killing intent was stern in Long Ling'er's brows and eyes; she no longer cared for a mere spirit mushroom. At this moment, a murderous impulse arose in her heart, and a small platinum sword appeared in her hand, as she prepared to unleash her Flying Sword technique to kill Shen Qingmei on the spot.

After finishing the soul-searching at this time, he immediately brought the other party to a desolate wilderness, crippled the woman's Dharma Power with a single palm strike, and then took out a small jade bottle to sprinkle the beast bait he had refined onto her body.

Having had her Dharma Power crippled and having been checked for any body-refining divine abilities, Long Ling'er immediately had blood spraying everywhere...

In the blink of an eye, she was caught up to.

In the far distance.

Aaron's eyes gradually lit up.

However, after the plan was finalized, he still honestly continued to go to Qiuse Lake to stand guard, acting as if this matter had never happened...
