Chapter 957: Soldier Disintegration
"The three-year period has arrived!"
"Why does this sentence feel somewhat off?"
Luofu Mountain.
Deep within the Meta-Magnetic Mine.
The infinite and inexhaustible meta-magnetic force permeates the void; it is indeed an excellent place to cultivate Meta-Magnetic Divine Light.
Inside the Cave Abode.
Aaron sits cross-legged, suddenly opening his eyes and looking around: "The Ancestor is likely about to face a tribulation; I hope my beautiful Master can escape alive..."
"Yes!"
Those truly afraid of being implicated, like Zen Master Tianhai, had already secretly left that very day.
"Master..."
"Disciple... Disciple..."
"Senior Brother Tianhai, what do you intend to do?"
"Very good!"
Luofu Patriarch sighed, however, and shouted: "Jiu Zhen... you have only obtained my true transmission of the Heaven One Water Diagram. I now entrust the Taiyi Five Spirits Scripture, the Dutian Sword Scripture, the Taiyi Meta-Magnetic Divine Prohibition, and the Sumeru Positive and Negative Nine Palaces Array to you, and appoint you as the Luofu Sect Leader!"
Luofu Patriarch revealed a trace of a smile and handed a Magic Treasure Pouch to Jiuzhen Xianniang: "From... from today on... you are the new Mountain Master of my Luofu..."
"Emei is despicable!"
"Don't even think about it!"
The lingering sound echoed, yet a terrifying sword-fiend aura surged into the sky; it was precisely the Twelve Capital Divine Fiend Sword Array!
"Master..."
Aaron has refined the Taiyi Meta-Magnetic Profound Light, though he is still in the Mysterious Light Realm; his strength and future are simply more vast.
Aaron adds a thought in his heart: 'This injury, why does it look somewhat like it was caused by an Invisible Sword? The Invisible Sword is most adept at killing the soul; once the Primordial Spirit is injured, even if one is not destroyed body and soul on the spot, there is no cure afterward, and one will surely howl for seven days and seven nights before dying!'
Even as he is about to pass away, he is still a top-tier Primordial Spirit expert; the things happening on the entire Luofu Mountain cannot escape his eyes and ears.
Aaron hands a Golden Book to Jiuzhen Xianniang.
Jiuzhen Xianniang gives a bitter smile: "With over a thousand disciples, I fear we are not even as good as some second-rate sects in the East Sea..."
Once these words were spoken, Jiuzhen Xianniang immediately burst into tears.
Aaron steps out of the ranks and says: "This disciple believes that we, Luofu, cannot move... Although our Luofu Mountain has many enemies, there are not many sect-leader-level figures at the Primordial Spirit stage, and they all care about their reputation and will not take action against juniors like us... In this ancestral land of Luofu, relying on the meta-magnetic ore veins and the Luofu Mountain Spirit Treasure, and coordinating with the Taiyi Meta-Magnetic Divine Prohibition array left by the Ancestor, we can be unafraid of any Golden Core as long as it is driven by Master's Dharma Power. Once we leave this place and lose the Protection of the array, it will be a dilemma of life and death... Furthermore, if we leave this place, is Luofu still Luofu?"
Aaron ignores everything else and returns straight to the Turtle Immortal Hall to cast a divination: "The future is precarious like wind and rain... but fortunately, there is no major catastrophe..."
Zen Master Tianhai puts his hands together and says.
This is the other party's Taiyi Primordial Spirit nearing collapse, beginning to turn chaotic and insane!
"Sigh..."
Luofu Patriarch goes straight into the Cave Abode at the highest point of Luofu Mountain and suddenly lets out a scream.
At this moment, under the surging of Aaron's Dharma Power, this layer of gray Meta-Magnetic Profound Light absorbs the earth's meta-magnetic force and is repeatedly refined.
Jiuzhen Xianniang glares at Zen Master Tianhai: "How has Master treated you in the past? How could you say such beastly words that are not even fit for pigs and dogs?"
Aaron glances over and cannot help but ask: "Where are the Great Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother, and Five Senior Brother?"
This scream is just like a fierce ghost from the Nine Netherworlds, the demonic sound piercing the ears!
Among the Outer Sect, many disciples hear this sound, and instantly bleed from their seven orifices, dying just like that...
This is the Meta-Magnetic Profound Light he created himself!
It is precisely the Taiyi Meta-Magnetic Profound Light he improved!
"You?"
"Master..."
A Primordial Spirit treasury, which naturally contains many good things.
"Hmm, after refining the Meta-Magnetic Profound Light, one can utilize the magnetic force of Luofu Mountain itself. The speed of flight is simply faster than a Golden Core... one can even achieve the ability of Great Teleportation..."
Luofu Patriarch curses angrily: "Originally, that Qi Miaoyi had already been trapped by my sword array, just waiting to be refined to death... but I did not expect Kutoutuo to rely on the Invisible Sword to sneak close to me and give me a sword strike... My Primordial Spirit is damaged and I will surely die within seven days. In order not to let my Primordial Spirit turn chaotic and insane before I die and harm others, I have no choice but to undergo Soldier Disintegration early..."
At this time, he arrives leisurely at the entrance of the Cave Abode and reaches out his hand.
Jiuzhen Xianniang truly does not want to take this position, but such a large Luofu Mountain now has no one left!
With only her, a lone Golden Core seedling, left, she can only kowtow with tears: "This disciple obeys!"
Even just by glancing at it, Aaron feels that a bit of indescribable demonic intent has entered his sea of consciousness.
Jiuzhen Xianniang leans on the jade couch and waves her hand with a weary expression: "Speak..."
However, in Aaron's view, it is still too impatient, too impatient...
Clearly, most of the Inner Sect disciples of Luofu Mountain have gone to the shores of the East Sea to participate in the sword duel with Emei.
They have also forged many grudges and karmic ties with other sects on the Donghai Immortal Continent.
"Greetings, Mountain Master!"
"Reporting to Master, the statistical results for today are out. There are twenty-seven Inner Sect disciples left, and over a thousand Outer Sect disciples... The warehouses everywhere have suffered heavy losses..."
Various types of escape lights and treasure ships... sail away from Luofu one after another; this is because some Outer Sect and Inner Sect disciples are panicked, and they have all run away...
Fang Xiaolong gives a bitter smile: "I have been on Luofu Mountain for many years and have long regarded this place as my home. If I leave... where can I go?"
Aaron watches this scene, which has quite the flavor of 'when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter,' and his heart is filled with emotion: 'Luofu Ancestor was not strict in his governance, and the character of the disciples is truly mediocre... This Luofu Mountain, its defeat is not unjust!'
With Zen Master Tianhai taking the lead to leave, many Inner Sect disciples of the Mysterious Light Realm also secretly slipped away.
Aaron arrives outside the Cave Abode in a 'panic' and sees his beautiful Master, Jiuzhen Xianniang. At this moment, her expression is pale and she is at a loss, just like a young girl who has not seen much of the world and has encountered a great change!
'Worth it, worth it. This is the first time this beautiful Master has been so composed in front of me...'
Three months later.
He made no other preparations, simply waiting in silence.
In the blink of an eye, there were few people left on the summit of Luofu Mountain.
That there had been no trouble before was entirely because Luofu Ancestor had been suppressing it.
Aaron and the others immediately bowed to Jiuzhen Xianniang, and with that, the succession of the sect leader position was complete.
The vast Jiuzhen Peak now appeared somewhat desolate.
Aaron grumbled inwardly, but did not dare to speak recklessly on the surface, only asking: "Now that the Ancestor's funeral has passed... our Luofu Mountain has many enemies overseas, and the sect members are in a panic, already discussing the matter of relocation..."
'This could work... I shall try it after I return...'
On the contrary, the Outer Sect remained as lively as ever.
Seeing those twelve Flying Swords pierce into the center and perish together with a strange creature possessing a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, Jiuzhen Xianniang could not help but cry out in grief.
If one were not cautious and careful after returning, and did not use their Dao heart to temper it, they might even suffer a cultivation deviation during their next practice!
'Could this be considered a simplified version of the Apocalypse Tribulation?'
Jiuzhen Xianniang turned around, wiped away her tears, and replied: "The situation was chaotic at the time, and I do not know what happened... Your Great Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother were likely killed on the spot, and Second Senior Sister was separated from me; her escape light is too slow, perhaps it will take a few more days for her to return to the sect... But this sect... this sect is about to be gone!"
If it were normal times, she would certainly be extremely astonished and would have to inspect this disciple thoroughly from head to toe, inside and out.
On Luofu Mountain, arrays rose up one after another, and the Taiyi Meta-Magnetic Divine Light swept wildly, and it was only with great difficulty that these disturbances were suppressed.
"Hmph, since Junior Sister wants to take on this mess, then Senior Brother will yield it to you... This position of Luofu Mountain Master shall be handed over to you, only you will not be able to manage my lineage in the future, so you had best take care of yourselves..."
As Aaron was thinking, the voice of Luofu Patriarch reached his ears:
"The pine tree decays in a thousand years, the hibiscus flower withers in a day. After all, we share the void, why boast of years and months? Peng and Shang are but different in vain, life and death are ultimately no different. Better to learn of the Unborn, for the Unborn is neither birth nor death..."
"On the contrary, if one were to switch to the Demonic Dao, there are quite a few methods such as the Ten Directions Meta-Magnetic Yin Thunder, or techniques to kill and refine magnetic force... My thoughts are quite restless, but I had better forget it..."
'I fear that his dissolution is right before our eyes...'
Luofu Mountain is known as the number one sect of the Side Door, and it accepts disciples indiscriminately, so there are truly many people of low morals and conduct.
He released his five-colored Hunyuan Profound Light, which suddenly merged together to form a circle of gray magnetic light.
Luofu Patriarch passed away, and Luofu Mountain was draped in mourning.
"Exactly..."
After repeating this nine times, it transformed into a circle of extremely clear, shadowless, and formless radiance.
Looking at the situation, Luofu Patriarch will die at any moment, so sending him off and waiting until he is dead to divide the most precious treasures is the only reasonable course of action!
And one can even leave behind a good reputation!
Jiuzhen Xianniang wept: "Not only that... Tianhai has also taken away Master's treasury..."
"Junior Sister!"
Luofu Patriarch's expression suddenly changed, and he pushed Jiuzhen Xianniang.
The color shifted from gray to pure white, then to colorless... and then refined from colorless back to five colors...
Now only Jiuzhen Xianniang and the monk Tianhai remain as the sole survivors!
"Why don't... we, as fellow disciples, divide these belongings, disband the disciples as soon as possible, and each go our separate ways."
From this, it can be seen that Luofu Patriarch being able to hold on until returning to the sect is already considered to have extremely profound Dao Power.
"To think that our Luofu Mountain, known as the number one sect of the Side Door, would end up like this when encountering trouble?"
Aaron saw Fang Xiaolong and could not help but be surprised: "Junior Brother has not left yet?"
At this moment, a Golden Core Grandmaster dressed as a monk, leading a group of Mysterious Light disciples, surrounded them and shouted: "Junior Sister... Master is likely on the verge of dissolution, and without Master's protection, our Luofu Mountain is likely to face a catastrophe!"
Aaron sighed, took the roster, and went to request an audience with his Master, the current Luofu sect leader.
"Relocation?"
Actually, those who are running now are still of decent character, having finished the funeral for Luofu Ancestor before leaving.
Since Tianhai decided to defect, he must have taken things to the extreme.
That circle of five-colored Forbidden Technique could not stop him in the slightest; he parted it as if it were his own home, exited the Meta-Magnetic Mine, and flew through the air, reaching Jiuzhen Peak in the blink of an eye.
'That is not necessarily so; Emei Mountain has only about a hundred people in the entire sect, but who can deny that they are a top-tier sect? It can be seen that this really has little to do with the number of disciples...'
Aaron looked back and saw that on Luofu Patriarch's body, countless pitch-black hairs were growing wildly; his entire person had transformed into a huge lump of flesh, upon which dense eyes opened, and countless arms broke out from the flesh!
Jiuzhen Xianniang sneered: "Where can we move to? The world is so vast, where is there still a place for Luofu? Disciple... you tell me!"
"I have also managed to cultivate a Luofu True Disciple technique... With this Mysterious Light, through a hundred years of bitter cultivation, I may be able to refine a Meta-Magnetic Golden Core in the future, which would also allow me to enter the threshold of a superior Golden Core..."
Everyone felt a great force surge, pushing them out of the Cave Abode.
Aaron had no other way, and could only offer soft comfort.
At this moment, inside the Cave Abode, the wailing of Luofu Ancestor finally stopped, and a weak voice immediately sounded: "You all... come in..."
Aaron followed Jiuzhen Xianniang inside and found Luofu Ancestor with disheveled hair and a hunched figure, as if he had aged hundreds of years in an instant, sitting slumped on a warm jade chair.
Jiuzhen Xianniang glared at this Senior Brother, yet she knew that what the other party said was the truth.
More than ten days later...
Aaron muttered to himself, then flew over and asked: "Master... what has happened?"
Jiuzhen Xianniang bowed again and asked: "You were clearly in the upper hand, how could you be defeated?"
"Leave?"
With the might of a Primordial Spirit, even if the overseas immortal sects were dissatisfied, they would have to endure it!
"A thousand years later, when there is hope for a Primordial Spirit..."
But now... Luofu Mountain does not have a second Primordial Spirit!
Not to mention a Primordial Spirit, even four Golden Core Grandmasters have been lost to Emei in succession!
Monk Tianhai flicked his sleeve, immediately taking away many Mysterious Light disciples.
Several streaks of light suddenly landed within Luofu Mountain; the person in the lead was none other than Luofu Patriarch!
"Realms can be cultivated to be the same, but magical powers and divine abilities depend on one's own exploration."
Seeing that there was actually a circle of invisible divine light around Aaron that resonated with Luofu Mountain, profound and extraordinary, Jiuzhen Xianniang could not help but exclaim in surprise: "You have actually refined the Taiyi Primordial Magnetic Profound Light?"
Doing things this way now, making it look like an undercover agent for Emei, is truly falling into a lower path.
After all, these Disciples in the Innate and Condensing Evil Realm are of no great use.
If it weren't for the fact that Luofu Patriarch is not yet dead, he would even dare to clamor for dividing up the treasures the Ancestor carries!
Speaking to the end, Jiuzhen Xianniang was already sobbing uncontrollably: "Now that the Ancestor has lost the sword duel, and even his Primordial Spirit has been severely wounded... showing signs of alienation, I fear, I fear..."
Jiuzhen Peak.
But at this moment, he only felt incomparably exhausted: "In this sword duel, our Luofu Mountain had three Golden Core True Disciples cut down in succession by Emei. The Ancestor was furious and took action, trapping that Qi Miaoyi with the Twelve Capital Divine Fiend Sword Array. We originally held the upper hand, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly failed..."
"Enough... leave quickly..."
Seeing Jiuzhen Xianniang, he asked a question: "Tianhai... has he already left?"
"With this cultivation speed, and that is while on top of such a meta-magnetic mineral vein in Luofu Mountain; after all, given Xin Chen's aptitude, one cannot ask for more..."
Speaking to the end, Jiuzhen Xianniang's tone was also choked with sobs.
Even their flight speed was very ordinary; by the time they steered the sea ship to the destination, it is likely the sword duel would already be over...
"Well said!"
Jiuzhen Xianniang struck the beat in admiration: "Once separated from Luofu Mountain, how can Luofu still call itself Luofu?"
