"Dark Sword Sect" may have fallen on hard times, but the blame for it didn't fall on Yun Tiangkong.
No one would have ever guessed that this seemingly incredibly diligent, harmless "young disciple" was actually a "human bomb."
On the contrary, due to Yun Tiangkong's "outstanding performance" over the past month, he had gained the recognition of the "Dark Sword Sect" and was actually "promoted."
Yun Tiangkong was elevated from an ordinary "outer disciple" to an "inner disciple."
His personal residence was also moved from the "outer islands" to the "inner islands."
Yun Tiangkong was now closer to the core of the "Black Card Sword Sect."
His destructive power was also growing stronger...
Time flows like water, and years fly like a shuttle.
In the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed.
During this period, Hao Ren's various aspects had proceeded very smoothly.
In terms of cultivation, his progress was truly meteoric.
Nowadays, Hao Ren's aptitude was off the charts.
Coupled with the incredibly dense spiritual energy within his cave, it was practically insane. Even a pig placed here would be able to take flight.
In these three months, Hao Ren's "Primordial Heaven Spirit Root" and "Innate Poison Spirit Root" had both successively cultivated to the "Golden Core Realm."
He still used his old method for transcending tribulations: "Big Spender!"
He paved his way with spirit stones, "spending" them like crazy.
Both the "Primordial Heaven Spirit Root" and the "Innate Poison Spirit Root" triggered "Nine Heavenly Tribulations."
Hao Ren used the "Big Spender Technique" to capture eighteen strands of "Heavenly Tribulation Power," successfully condensing eighteen new "One Dragon Pattern Thunder Cores" within his dantian.
With this, the number of "One Dragon Pattern Thunder Cores" in Hao Ren's body reached an insane forty-seven.
Adding to this were the "Nine Dragon Pattern Thunder Cores," "Dragonless Yin Cores," "Nine Dragon Pattern Void Cores," and "Nine Dragon Pattern Poison Cores."
The number of Golden Cores in his dantian reached a terrifying fifty-one.
Unprecedented, unmatched!
One might think he was in the business of "Golden Core wholesale."
With so many Golden Cores, Hao Ren's strength further increased.
Now, Hao Ren could powerfully control "one hundred and eight Azure Origin Immortal Swords," his combat power exploding.
If he wished, he could instantly kill nine cultivators in the "Nascent Soul Mid-stage."
Even a cultivator at the "Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage" could be instantly killed by Hao Ren's "Azure Origin Sword Array" if they were not careful.
The "Azure Origin Sword Array" was one of the most powerful sword dao divine abilities in all the heavens and myriad worlds.
In theory, the power of the "Azure Origin Sword Array" had no upper limit; as long as the "Azure Origin Immortal Swords" were continuously added, the power of the sword array could grow stronger and stronger.
Hao Ren carried three thousand "Azure Origin Immortal Swords" with him.
If he could simultaneously activate all three thousand "Azure Origin Immortal Swords," their power, tsk tsk, would be enough for a "Golden Core Realm" cultivator to slay an immortal!
The current Hao Ren was truly the "ceiling of Golden Core cultivators." Not only could no other "Golden Core cultivator" defeat him, but even "Nascent Soul cultivators" couldn't.
However, Hao Ren did not become "arrogant" because of this.
As a professional, eighth-level "cowardly cultivator," Hao Ren still remained safely in his cave.
He refused to "act rashly."
He refused to "seek death."
Leaving the cave was absolutely out of the question; the cultivation world outside was very dangerous, and even "Nascent Soul cultivators" could be killed at any moment.
One must know that Hao Ren's enemy list already included quite a few "Spirit Severing Ancestors."
"Three Ancestors of the Heavenly Dragon."
"Six Ancestors of the Dark Heaven."
...
Any one of these "Spirit Severing Ancestors" could easily annihilate Hao Ren with a single move.
Oh, wait, the second of the "Three Ancestors of the Heavenly Dragon," "Long Wu Zhua," it was basically impossible for him to annihilate Hao Ren.
This was because "Long Wu Zhua" was plagued by a curse, leaving him half-dead.
Hao Ren was a person with principles and extreme self-discipline.
Every month, precisely on time, he would arrange a wave of "curses" for "Long Wu Zhua."
"Long Wu Zhua" was always trying to deduce Hao Ren's "true identity," and how could Hao Ren let him succeed? He had to arrange a "curse."
To curse a "Spirit Severing Ancestor" was a high-difficulty challenge.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to succeed!
After all, Hao Ren was only a "Golden Core cultivator," two major realms apart from the opponent!
However, this "Long Wu Zhua" had "courted death" himself. When he tried to deduce Hao Ren's identity, he used the wrong method and directly deduced the "Seventy-two Chaotic True Devils."
What kind of existence were the "Seventy-two Chaotic True Devils"?
Villains!
Super villains!
Super powerful villains born in the primordial chaos!
Don't be fooled by their usual chattering, rambling, and indecently calling Hao Ren "Father" or "Dearest Daddy." That was because they were controlled by Hao Ren and had no choice but to bow their heads.
In reality, these "super villains" were fiercer and more evil than each other!
How could "Long Wu Zhua" fare well by provoking them?
The "Seventy-two Chaotic True Devils" launched their fiercest assault.
"Long Wu Zhua" was invaded by demonic energy, and his inner demons surged, nearly costing him his life.
Strike while the iron is hot!
Hao Ren embodied the essence of "cowardly cultivation struggle" and seized the opportunity to inflict a curse on "Long Wu Zhua."
From then on, Hao Ren couldn't stop.
The monthly "routine task": curse "Long Wu Zhua"!
Through Hao Ren's unremitting persistence and effort, "Long Wu Zhua" was either in a coma or on the road to it.
The "inner demons" within him became more ferocious and powerful!
Originally, "Long Wu Zhua's" cultivation level was at the "Spirit Severing Mid-stage," but it had now fallen to the "Spirit Severing Early-stage."
Very weak!
Extremely weak!
In response, the eldest brother "Long Liu Lin" and the third brother "Long Si Xu" were both furious and anxious.
They wanted to investigate who was behind this scheme!
Unfortunately, they had no leads.
"Cursing" was a hidden and mysterious art, leaving no trace, making it difficult to find the "true culprit."
They wanted to seek help from "Li Tianyi."
Li Tianyi's own cultivation was only at the "Golden Core Great Perfection stage," but he had another identity: the "First Sub-soul of the Heavenly Dragon Dharma King!"
Currently, the "Main Soul of the Heavenly Dragon Dharma King" was being suppressed day and night by Wang Tenglong and "Long Hun Yi" with the "power of love," rendering it completely useless.
With the "Main Soul of the Heavenly Dragon Dharma King" unable to oversee matters, "Li Tianyi" made all the decisions.
Li Tianyi, this person, had perfectly inherited the "intelligence of the Heavenly Dragon Dharma King" and was skilled in conspiracy and schemes.
These days, he had been busy preparing for the "Holy Land Assembly."
The entire plan was highly confidential; other than Li Tianyi himself, no one knew the specific details, not even "Long Liu Lin" and "Long Si Xu."
"Long Liu Lin" and "Long Si Xu" wanted to ask Li Tianyi for help but couldn't find him anywhere, so they had to give up!
The "Holy Land Assembly" was about to begin in three months, and it was bound to be another "bloodbath!"
