Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Yuwen Haitong's face contorted with rage, and he bellowed, "Damn it! Let me go! Or else, I'll take you down with me!"

Bang!

A fist enshrouded with dark ghostly aura pierced straight through Yuwen Haitong's chest. He wore a face of despair, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and lost all signs of life.

Shangguan Lingxiu's delicate body trembled, and tears of joy streamed from her beautiful eyes, "The Hundred Beasts Sect Master Yuwen Zhenming is dead!! He actually died at the hands of my husband, this is wonderful! I knew he would never let me down!"

"The Hundred Beasts Sect Master Yuwen Zhenming was no ordinary Golden Core cultivator!! Yet he's dead!! It's unbelievable!! My husband was actually able to kill him, doesn't that mean our Xiao Danling has become a Golden Core level power?"

A look of disbelief flashed through Wu Zixin's beautiful eyes, quickly enveloped by ecstatic joy.

The entire Northern Desolation originally had only six Great Golden Core Forces, with New Shiyang City being one of them. However, since the Shiyang lay practitioner's fall at the Tongtian White Tower, New Shiyang City's status plummeted and was riddled with constant infighting.

Initially, when Wu Zixin was sent to enter into a marriage alliance, she felt somewhat unwilling, after all, she was forced to become just a concubine.

However, with Zhao Yu having slain the Hundred Beasts Sect Master Yuwen Zhenming, even if he was not a Golden Core himself, Xiao Danling had turned into a power of Golden Core level, bound to achieve rapid development.

"To kill a Golden Core! How amazing! Truly worthy of my husband!"

Tuoba Xue was even more jubilant, her fists tightly clenched, almost jumping up to laugh out loud. When she came to serve Zhao Yu, she thought she would always just be a beautiful maidservant at the Qi Cultivation level by Zhao Yu's side.

But unexpectedly, not only did she advance to Foundation Establishment with Zhao Yu's help, but now, with Zhao Yu having slain a Golden Core ancestor, she had become the maidservant of a Golden Core level powerhouse.

In the Northern Desolation, currently, there are only three cultivators left who openly possess Golden Core level combat power.

Countless female cultivators longed to become consorts of those three, not to mention consorts, even being a close maid is something countless people are willing to do.

Wei Xinlan also smiled naively, feeling relieved, "The master is safe, that's really great!"

A ray of Escape Light descended from the sky, and Zhao Yu landed next to Shangguan Lingxiu, "Lingxiu, I need to go take care of some matters! You stay home and oversee everything! While I'm gone, the Thousand Trees Formation Array must remain activated at all times, and if anyone dares to spread the news, show no mercy. I will leave behind the Jiujing Corpse Emperor to protect you!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yu called the Jiujing Corpse Emperor over.

Zhao Yu pointed towards Shangguan Lingxiu and said, "While I'm away, you are to follow her commands!"

The Jiujing Corpse Emperor nodded slightly.

Shangguan Lingxiu smiled sweetly, "Rest assured, my Lord, I will definitely guard our home well for you!"

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, transformed into a ray of Escape Light, and flew away with Su Bingyun toward the direction of the Hundred Beasts Sect.

The Hundred Beasts Sect headquarters was located in the middle of the Beast Spirit Mountain Range, which covered a vast area of a thousand miles and was a Third Order upper-grade Spiritual Land.

Inside a study room of the Beast Hall.

Holding an ancient scroll of cultivation notes, Yuwen Shentong muttered to himself, "If the ancestor could capture Zhao Yu alive, force him to Refinement a Third Order Golden Core Pill, I might also have some hope of condensing a Golden Core!"

The resources in the Northern Desolation were extremely scarce. Even as the Sect Master of the Hundred Beasts Sect, Yuwen Shentong could not find a single Third Order Golden Core Pill. Without one, he dared not attempt to condense a Golden Core.

Previously, several Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivators from the Hundred Beasts Sect tried to force their Golden Core formation, but they all died, none succeeded.

Bang!!

Accompanied by a loud noise, the doors of the study room were blasted to smithereens. The White Ghost Emperor, with a fierce face and body shrouded in black mist, his eyes revealing the Illusory Ghost Pupil, pounced towards Yuwen Shentong.

"A Third-order Evil Ghost!! How is this possible? How did it get through our Sect-Protecting Great Array of the Hundred Beasts Sect?"

Yuwen Shentong's face suddenly changed drastically, and he quickly brought out a top-grade spiritual shield of the Spiritual Artifact rank.

In the blink of an eye, Yuwen Shentong felt a sharp pain in his chest as a claw protruded from behind him, piercing through his heart.

The White Ghost Emperor opened his mouth and swallowed Yuwen Shentong's soul directly.

Zhao Yu entered the study with ease, holding a control jade token that could command the entire Sect-Protecting Great Array of the Hundred Beasts Sect.

The Sect-Protecting Great Array of the Hundred Beasts Sect was called the Sixfold Earthflame Golden Fire Array; this was a middle-grade Third Order array that connected with the spiritual energy veins of the Beast Spirit Mountain Range, its power boundless.

Even a Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator like Yuwen Shentong, who was not well-versed in formation arrays, could activate the great array and resist the strong attacks of a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator.

If a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator dared to forcefully break through this array, they would be burnt to ashes by the Sixfold Earthflame Golden Fire Array.

There were two control jade tokens for that array. One was in the hands of the Supreme Elder Yuwen Zhenming, and the other control jade token was with Yuwen Shentong.

Zhao Yu had silently infiltrated the Hundred Beasts Sect using Yuwen Zhenming's control jade token.

Zhao Yu reached out his hand and summoned the storage bag beside Yuwen Shentong into his hand, picked up that control jade token, and revealed a trace of a smile, "The Hundred Beasts Sect is mine now!"

"Traitor, how dare you kill our Sect Master of the Hundred Beasts Sect! Die!"

Six Foundation Establishment cultivators flew out from the side, looking at Zhao Yu with faces full of shock and anger. With a slap of their Spirit Beast Bags, fourteen spirit beasts appeared one after another.

Zhao Yu said, "Kill them!"

The White Ghost Emperor grinned ferociously, activated the Illusory Ghost Eyes, and swathes of eerie Ghost Fog rose up, enveloping those Six Great Foundation Building cultivators within it.

Before long, wails of agony came from within, and the bodies of the Six Great Foundation Building cultivators and the fourteen spirit beasts lay on the ground.

Zhao Yu promptly collected the storage bags of those Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Sheets of Ghost Fog spread out from the White Ghost Emperor, permeating throughout the entire Spirit Mountain.

"Ghost Fog!! What's happening?"

"Evil Ghosts!! There are Third-order Evil Ghosts!!"

"Evil ghosts have invaded, why hasn't the sect's great array been activated? What on earth is the Sect Master doing?"

".….."

The entire headquarters of the Hundred Beasts Sect instantly fell into panic, as many cultivators frantically used Evil-Suppressing Talismans and other talismans to continuously dispel the Ghost Fog.

Many cultivators of the Hundred Beasts Sect, seeing that the situation was bad, directly fled. However, there were also many loyal cultivators in the sect, searching for the enemy within the sect grounds.

Zhao Yu let the White Ghost Emperor hunt and slaughter the disciples of the Hundred Beasts Sect wantonly, while he himself, along with the Che Huang and Su Bingyun, toured important places such as the Scripture Pavilion, the Spiritual Medicine Garden, and the Pill Hall, extinguishing all the strong practitioners of the Hundred Beasts Sect in those areas.

In the Beast Spirit Mountain Range, many Spiritual Peaks were inhabited by numerous Foundation Establishment Experts of the Hundred Beasts Sect. Seeing the main peak shrouded in thick Ghost Fog, a chill rose in everyone's hearts as they rode their escape lights out of the mountain range.

"The Hundred Beasts Sect belongs to me now! A top-grade Third Order Spiritual Land, truly exceptional. Cultivating here, I can advance to becoming a Golden Core cultivator even faster! Unfortunately, I have too few disciples; it's hard to defend the entire Beast Spirit Mountain Range."

Zhao Yu sat in a Quiet Room at the main peak of the Hundred Beasts Sect, his lips curling slightly in a smile.
