Chapter 960: Sect Leader

Time flies, years uncounted!

Luofu Mountain!

Inside Aaron's Cave Abode.

The Heavenly Qi within a hundred-mile radius surged violently, resembling a funnel.

Countless Luofu Disciple who were cultivating or meditating walked out of their Cave Abode, gazing into the distance at this scene, their faces revealing various expressions of envy and jealousy: "A Golden Core phenomenon... Great Senior Brother... has entered the Golden Core stage of the Tao..."

Aaron's expression was calm; he mobilized the Dharma Power within his body, and countless Meta-Magnetic Divine Light gathered, which he used a unique Secret technique to condense into a five-colored Golden Core.

This was the Taiyi Primordial Magnetic Golden Core!

It was the pinnacle among the Side Door Golden Cores; once the Primordial Spirit is refined in the future, it becomes—the Taiyi Primordial Spirit!

It could be called the most authentic True Disciple inheritance of Luofu Mountain!

"It is rumored that when Li Yingyun condensed the Golden Core, there were nine types of Golden Core phenomena; I only have a mere three... I won't recite a poem then."

"Loneliness is good. Amidst the Great Calamity, all troubles stem from standing out too much; one is either summoned away by this friend or dragged down by that Disciple, and in the end, all meet the killing tribulation..." Aaron shook his head and sighed: "The Disciples who come at this time are not Disciples, but death warrants! My original intention... was to not accept a single one."

A moment later, Aaron acted as if nothing had happened, rubbed his face, and sat in the seat originally occupied by Jiuzhen Xianniang.

Jiuzhen Xianniang transformed into a streak of light and flew out of Luofu in an instant.

"The path of the Blood Demon is extremely fast to master, its power is immense, and it vaguely has the posture of ruling the Demon Sect of this world... Are the Demonic Dao cultivators being forced by the Orthodox Xuan Sect to have no other choice, preparing to create a 'Blood Demon' themselves?"

"Master..."

"It's a pity... it only goes up to the Blood Sea Great Array section."

"That's true, as long as one cultivates the Blood Sea Great Array, combined with the Blood Shadow Divine Art, whether it is for self-preservation or lethality, it is not inferior to an ordinary Primordial Spirit."

'However... should I dig up the grave of the Luofu Patriarch and let the 'Flying Sword Gu' swallow those twelve Dutian Remnant Sword?'

"I implore Master to think thrice; the Emei are powerful, suppressing the Side Door, and in a confrontation with the Demonic Dao, they are unstoppable; we should temporarily avoid their edge."

"As a teacher... I cannot let go."

Aaron muttered to himself in his heart.

"Previously, the hidden Hanxuan Old Demon of the Demon Sect emerged, freezing the ten prefectures of Chixian Shenzhou, only to be refined to death alive by Qimiaoyi Zhenren carrying the Purple-Green One-Qi Divine Talisman and using the Two Worlds Ten Directions Dust Array!"

Ding Xiadong wore a blood robe, his momentum increased further, and he had shockingly already refined a 'Blood Sea Demon Core'!

This core came from beyond the heavens; it did not require aptitude, and anyone could condense a blood core, though the quality of the core was not particularly high.

His expression was solemn as he shouted: "Pass on my decree as Sect Leader; from today onwards, Luofu Mountain is closed. Anyone who leaves the mountain without my permission will be treated as a traitor to the sect!"

Jiuzhen Xianniang cast an illusory Dharma Seal, upon which Meta-Magnetic Divine Light transformed into a Forbidden Technique, which sank directly into Aaron's body: "This is the hub of our sect's Mountain Protection Array. I have transferred it all to you. From today onwards, you are the Sect Leader of our sect."

"This is... the East Sea Dragon Palace!"

Aaron's hand reached out powerlessly: "Don't leave so quickly... tell me about any treasures first!"

At this time, Ding Xiadong's Dharma Power and divine abilities had absolutely reached the realm of a First-Grade Golden Core!

Inside the Blood Pool, the soul of a Dragon Prince flew out, screaming: "Blood Demon... the Dragon King will not let you go!"

He even fabricated a false background and origin, as well as a Qi Number... specifically to trap those proficient in Innate divine calculation!

"What has happened between Emei and the Demon Sect recently?"

"Greetings, Master!"

Aaron crushed these discarded Blood God Gu one by one, obtaining from them insights into practicing the Blood Sea Demon Scripture.

After these two people said their goodbyes and left.

"But no matter what, it is the Blood Demon destroying the world, a Great Calamity for all living beings!"

Jiuzhen Xianniang had actually long been determined to take revenge, but she had been held back by her sect.

If it were a Six Refinements Flying Sword Gu, even if it possessed a piece of ordinary iron, it could instantly turn it into a true immortal-grade Flying Sword of Six Refinements!

Jiuzhen Xianniang sighed: "You are indeed my most outstanding Disciple; you already know what I want to do... Good! I will pass the position of Sect Leader to you, and then expel myself from Luofu Mountain. From then on, I will be a Loose Cultivator and can focus wholeheartedly on avenging my teacher!"

Outside, countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals patrolled, muddle-headed, with a trace of blood light in their eyes.

"Is he dead?"

Such teleportation ability could only be used freely within the range of the Luofu Mountain Meta-Magnetic Array.

When Aaron originally taught the Dharma, to prevent Backlash, he only taught the middle volume "Blood Sea Great Array Thirty-Three Volumes" and the lower volume "Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Ability Ninety-Nine Paths"!

At this time, both volumes had been perfectly repaired.

Then he went to find them back, and brought back a Yuanyuanzi along the way.

Subsequently, dozens of streaks of light flew into the main hall, revealing the Luofu Disciple within. Seeing Aaron sitting in Jiuzhen Xianniang's seat, they were all somewhat surprised.

Hearing this, Aaron's heart stirred: 'Various old demons and immortals are emerging; the tribulation is intensifying...'

"Third Junior Brother, this is..."

"Master..."

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Ding Xiadong's mouth, and he shouted: "I have already refined the Blood Sea Great Array; this is a Primordial Spirit-level method, I am just waiting for it to come!"

Aaron pondered for a while and took out a few Blood God Gu.

Now that there was a successor, while she felt gratified in her heart, she also felt that she could finally put down her heavy burden and then focus wholeheartedly on plotting her revenge.

Aaron's eyes moved slightly.

Clang!

A golden bell rang.

"That Blood Sea Great Array was refined into a blood robe and worn on Ding Xiadong's body. Judging by the quality, it must be equivalent to the blood sacrifice of a million living beings, right?"

Wu Mei asked.

Seeing this, Aaron coughed again: "Besides this, I have decided to reduce the scale of our Disciples. From today onwards, recruiting Disciples to Luofu Mountain must be approved by this Sect Leader... Afterwards, we need to maintain the number of sect members and Disciples at around one hundred..."

If Aaron were here, he would find this dragon somewhat familiar, suspected to be the Demon King who killed Su Zixuan back then and ordered the pursuit and killing of himself.

Aaron bowed deeply and advised.

Aaron picked up the only remaining Blood God Gu and saw a magnificent palace.

Once successful, one could travel between the five continents in an instant, surpassing any escape light.

"Hmm."

Hmm, back when the sword fight in the East Sea ended in defeat, it was total chaos; the Great Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother both died, and Wu Mei was separated as a result.

However, being able to reach this point is already quite good.

This "Flying Sword Gu" is a streak of Sword Light that can merge with any sword artifact to increase its grade.

"Ever since the Nanhai Sect's 'Tianhe Zhenren' went to save Li Yingyun eighty years ago... the Orthodox Xuan Sect and the Demonic Dao have fought sword battles one after another, both suffering heavy casualties... but overall, the Demonic Dao has suffered greater losses; four of the Nine Great Demonic Legacies have had their inheritances directly wiped out..."

"Fortunately, I kept an ace up my sleeve and didn't pass on the Blood Sea Heavenly Book; otherwise, if a Blood Demon were to emerge from the Demon Sect, they wouldn't have a Blood God Gu on them, and I would have suffered a huge loss..."

The voice of Jiuzhen Xianniang came from within.

"Yes!"

Soon, a brand-new Blood Sea Demon Scripture was deduced!

"This scripture makes up for most of the foundation and can be considered perfect..."

Cultivating this array requires the essence blood of countless living beings.

"Emei is currently fighting the Demonic Dao, which is a heaven-sent opportunity; I, as your master, will not take the initiative to fight Emei..."

However, he had the Nine-Refinement Heaven-Calculating Gu, and with just a slight movement, he erased these various traces, making it impossible for anyone to discover the clues.

"Not bad, not bad; this settles the karma between me and the East Sea Dragon Palace."

Aaron coughed lightly, and the pressure belonging to a Golden Core swept across the entire hall.

Yuanyuanzi cried out: "Our Luofu is already short on people; if this continues, won't we fall into decline?"

Aaron calculated with his fingers; Ding Xiadong would inevitably break free from his control once he achieved the Primordial Spirit.

Deep within the Dragon Palace, there was a Blood Pool, and in the pool were countless dragon corpses, all soaked in blood plasma.

Once Ding Xiadong grows into a true Blood Demon, he can proudly introduce him to the Righteous and Demonic Paths: "Look at how ferocious this Blood Demon is? I raised him!"

"This Ding Xiadong actually found a new path and set his sights on the deep-sea demon race... Yes, when it comes to the reproduction of living beings, how can the land compare to the sea? Furthermore, cultivators have always looked down on the demon race... After all, most demon race Golden Cores are weak and can be killed for fun by Mysterious Light... This is a blind spot."

Aaron activated the Dharma Seal, and immediately, layers of five-colored brilliance sealed the entire hall.

'Uh... the first thing I did as the third-generation sect leader of Luofu was to dig up the Ancestor's grave; this is truly a hall-shaking display of filial piety, truly hall-shaking...'

"Next, it's time to give some rewards."

He muttered to himself and began to receive the final information from these Gu insects.

"Good, good, good!"

He was also worried that his actions would bring a catastrophe upon Luofu.

Aaron had a subtle intuition that not only Luofu Mountain but even the originally scattered Qi Number of the Side Door was concentrating toward him.

It was just that most of them were cracked, without a trace of vitality.

Wu Mei originally looked down on this Junior Brother's cowardly nature, but since he could shrink back until reaching the Golden Core and was now the sect leader, she could only comply with awe.

But the upper volume, "Blood Sea Heavenly Book Thirteen Chapters," is the method for the Primordial Spirit and even higher Dao Fruit.

"Then, let's slaughter all the sects on the Donghai Immortal Continent... and incidentally, settle the karma from when Luofu Mountain was besieged before."

His brows furrowed slightly, and the Heavenly Qi fluctuated, turning into a One Qi Capture Great Handprint to grab the Spirit Talisman and place it by his ear.

Aaron opened his eyes, swallowed the Taiyi Primordial Magnetic Golden Core into his belly, and then calculated with his fingers: "Eighty years? Truly a hundred-year Golden Core... I can be considered a little genius in the cultivation world..."

In fact, he also knew that with the Luofu Patriarch's artifact refining skills, he wouldn't have left behind too many treasures.

Yuanyuanzi said: "The new dynasty had just entered a golden age when it was affected by the fighting in the Immortal Cultivation World... The celestial phenomena changed several times a day, floods and droughts followed one after another, and it has already perished... What sin did the common people commit? To suffer such a calamity?"

Aaron bowed instead: "Please, I ask you to abandon that thought... In these eighty years, haven't the sects that besieged us all dispersed one by one?"

Having this Spirit Mountain Dharma Treasure is already enough.

Just then, a Spirit Talisman passed through the Cave Abode and arrived before him.

If the Blood Demon Child were to achieve the Primordial Spirit, the Blood God Gu would inevitably be discovered, and he would be unable to control the other party at all.

This is the Taiyi Meta-Magnetic Divine Prohibition, combined with this Spirit Mountain Dharma Treasure and the Array Formation... even the most top-tier Primordial Spirit monster in this world would be unable to see what the people in the hall are doing.

In a few days, Ding Xiadong will automatically comprehend this layer of Primordial Spirit transformation during his cultivation.

"The hosts of the Blood God Gu die by devouring each other... this is a development that matches my expectations."

Although Wu Mei's voice was pleasant, the words she spoke were enough to make one's hair stand on end, and they made Aaron see a scene of the Immortal Cultivation World in chaos, with living beings suffering!

'The outside world is indeed so dangerous; it's safer at Luofu Mountain...'

"For this reason, he didn't hesitate to perform blood sacrifices repeatedly, and perhaps the Hanxuan Old Demon's previous actions against mortals were also intended to secretly collect blood materials?"

"In the future, the probability of Ding Xiadong defecting to the Demonic Dao and the Blood Demon merging is over forty percent..."

"But others were killed by the Righteous Path... and some were captured by the Demonic Dao and forced to reveal their cultivation techniques and mantras..."

Inside the hall, it was silent.

He flicked a streak of Sword Light.

No matter where he started, it would inevitably attract the attention of both the Righteous and Demonic Paths, followed by pursuit and killing.

The grace of a master is like a mountain!

However, after forming the Golden Core, one can continuously improve the grade of the core by devouring a large amount of essence blood, advancing to the first grade, or even the supreme grade!

"It's just difficult to improve... to become a Six-Refinement Flying Sword Gu, one must at least devour a real immortal-grade Flying Sword... one way or another, there is no shortcut."

Jiuzhen Xianniang looked at this disciple and said with satisfaction: "Advancing to the Golden Core in just over a hundred years of cultivation... even in the Orthodox Xuan Sect, you are a top-tier genius. If your teacher were still here, he would surely hold a grand banquet, inviting Loose Immortals from the four seas to celebrate for you!"

Aaron held Ding Xiadong's Blood God Gu and sent over the method for achieving the Primordial Spirit from the Blood Sea Demon Scripture.

The next moment, as if shattering the void, his figure arrived directly inside the Nine-Truth Hall.

"Ugh... I did gain something from the transmission of the arts back then."

"The Orthodox Xuan Sect, the Demonic Dao... they are all eyeing my Blood Sea Demon Scripture..."

"Ahem... Master had urgent business abroad and passed the position of Sect Leader to me; who objects?"

Aaron sighed.

Seeing the aged Jiuzhen Xianniang sitting upright on a jade chair, Aaron hurriedly performed a salute.

"My mind is made up; you need not say more."

The East Sea Dragon King is an old dragon of the Primordial Spirit realm! He has always lived in seclusion, a divine dragon that shows its head but never its tail.

Aaron could naturally see that Ding Xiadong had indeed already mastered the Blood Sea Great Array.

He had even triggered the Apocalypse Tribulation, which greatly increased his comprehension and combined it with practice.

Wu Mei and Yuanyuanzi did not know how many times they rolled their eyes in their hearts, but since the arm cannot twist the thigh, they could only let Aaron give orders.

Beside her, Yuanyuanzi also followed.

Aaron nodded slightly, his figure moving.

After sitting on the Sect Leader's throne for a while, Aaron flicked his finger.

The crowd looked at each other in dismay, then bowed down together: "Greetings, Sect Leader!"

"In these eighty years of daily hard work, I have spent less effort on Gu Technique, only researching one type—the 'Flying Sword Gu'!"

Waving his hand to dismiss the other Disciples, Aaron kept only Wu Mei and Yuanyuanzi, and asked: "I have recently been in seclusion breaking through to the Golden Core, and I do not know how the Immortal Cultivation World is faring?"

However, Aaron was currently contemplating the power of Two Poles Magnetism, preparing to research more methods of teleportation.

"Emei and the Orthodox Xuan Sect, they cannot escape."

Aaron pinched his fingers to calculate; under the enhancement of the Nine-Refinement Heaven-Calculating Gu, his calculation ability soared once again: "Anyway, no matter what, the Blood Demon will eventually lose control, so it might as well make this bomb even bigger... After all, when the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up! I am short, I am not afraid!"
