I can gather experience beads

Cao Rui traveled quickly all the way and did not stay for long in the central part of Yunzhou where he first arrived.

After several days, they finally left the spiritual energy vacuum zone and arrived at the southwest of Yunzhou, the territory of Yue Kingdom.

This day is October 23rd in the secular world.

It was the end of autumn and the leaves of the grass and trees in Moon Country had turned yellow.

Start by entering the Tianji Fortress.

Cao Rui has spent more than a year and a half outside Yunzhou.

When he returned, Cao Rui was already 32 years old, which would have been considered a middle-aged man in his previous life.

In this life's world of immortal cultivation, Cao Rui is still "very young".

The matter of the demon clan is of great importance, so Cao Rui decided to rush to the Spirit Beast Sect first to inform the Sect Master Lu Jiuxiao and the Beast Ancestor of the matter.

However, since we have already set foot in the southwestern part of Yunzhou...

Cao Rui, flying on a sword, took out the Lingyin jade pendant, and sure enough, the signal was reconnected.

Cao Rui opened the group chat of the elders of the Spirit Beast Sect, but unfortunately the Lingyin Jade Pendant currently did not have a historical message function, so Cao Rui could not see the messages he had missed after he left.

Cao Rui gently sent a text message: "Elders, I'm back."

His words were like a stone that caused a thousand waves in the Spirit Beast Sect group chat.

Wu Qingxuan: Cao Rui, you are finally back! If it weren't for the sect soul lamp, I would have thought you had an accident!

Qian Xiaotong: Master, after you left, the Yunshui Sect became more powerful. Fortunately, with the protection of Shi Shatian, the acting leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, the impact on the market and the jade pendant was minimized. However, Elder Ye Yunyin and the Sect Master were both killed by Gu Qingying, and the Beast Ancestor is currently seriously injured and in seclusion.

Qian Xiaotong has successfully advanced to the foundation-building stage and is currently working with Zhang Mo to maintain the operation of Qingling Market.

Feng Qingyun: Uncle Cao, in order to prevent Gu Qingying from attacking the mountain gate, the Spirit Beast Sect is currently in a state of sealing off the mountain with the mountain protection formation activated. If you come back and contact us in the jade pendant in advance, we will open the entrance for you...

Feng Qiwu: ...

Zhang Mo: ...

"What?" Cao Rui was shocked and no longer had the heart to check the message in the Lingyin jade pendant.

The leader is dead? Ye Yunyin is dead?

Cao Rui recalled in his mind the thin swordsman who had been silently supporting Cao Rui and the market for a long time.

Sect leader Lu Jiuxiao has always put the sect first. He has given Cao Rui the greatest help in terms of resources and cultivated him with all his heart.

Gu Qingying......

In this case, she should have also obtained the opportunity to obtain the golden elixir in the Tianji Fortress.

After he was promoted to the Golden Core stage, he actually had such strength?

"What's wrong, Cao Rui?" The Tianji baby on the side keenly sensed the changes in Cao Rui's emotions.

Cao Rui shook his head slightly: "Something happened back home."

"What's the matter?" Baby Tianji felt the murderous aura in Cao Rui's tone.

"Let's go to war."

"It's just right. Let's take this opportunity to unify the southwest of Yunzhou."

No matter what, Cao Rui now possesses a powerful body at the peak of the Golden Core state. With the help of the Golden Core puppet Tianji Baby, he is undoubtedly the top combat force in the southwestern region of Yunzhou.

Moreover, according to what Qian Xiaotong said, Shi Shatian should have obtained the opportunity of the Golden Core in the Tianji Fortress and successfully broke through to the Golden Core stage.

In this way, Cao Rui's side now has three Jindan powerhouses.

With their strength, it is not impossible to conquer Yunshui Sect and Miaoyin Temple by force!

Cao Rui patted his storage bag lightly, and the Zerg Wings instantly turned into a stream of light and were steadily worn on his body.

Baby Tianji landed lightly on Cao Rui's shoulder, while Zixiao tightly wrapped around Cao Rui's wrist.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Rui used all his magic power, flapped his wings violently, and rushed towards the Spirit Beast Sect as fast as lightning.

Flying at full speed, after just a few hours, Cao Rui arrived at the mountain gate of the Spirit Beast Sect.

At this moment, the sky in front of the Spirit Beast Sect's mountain gate was covered by thick dark clouds, with howling winds and thunder and lightning.

Ordinary mortals cannot get close at all, and even if they are far away from the mountain gate, they may be blown to pieces by the strong wind.

This is the spectacular sight when the Spirit Beast Sect’s fourth-level mountain protection formation is operating at full capacity.

As long as there are enough cultivators controlling it, even if a Jindan-stage cultivator breaks into the mountain gate by force, he will surely suffer heavy losses.

After Cao Rui contacted Feng Qingyun with the Lingyin Jade Pendant, a dark and gloomy passage immediately appeared at the entrance of the mountain gate.

He flew in without hesitation. And waiting inside the mountain gate was Feng Qingyun, the leader of the younger generation of the Spirit Beast Sect.

Feng Qingyun is currently in control of the sect’s entrance and exit.

When they met again after two years, Feng Qingyun's cultivation had already reached the fifth level of foundation building. Such a huge progress was amazing.

"Uncle Cao." Feng Qingyun bowed to Cao Rui respectfully.

His usually proud face now showed a bit of dejection.

Obviously, the pressure that Gu Qingying, a Jindan master, brought to the sect disciples was unimaginable. Some pessimistic people even believed that the Spirit Beast Sect might perish because of this.

After all, Lu Jiuxiao, the person in the entire sect who had the greatest hope of advancing to the Golden Core realm, had passed away.

Moreover, the Beast Ancestor had also suffered a defeat. Gu Qingying only needed to wait for the right opportunity and would be able to deal a fatal blow to the Spirit Beast Sect.

Cao Rui nodded slightly, indicating his response: "Let me go see the Beast Ancestor first." Feng Qingyun nodded and replied: "Yes."

Cao Rui's figure flashed, turned into a stream of light, and flew forward rapidly.

Not long after, he arrived at the main peak of the Spirit Beast Sect.

He came to the training tower in the back mountain and looked at the familiar building. His heart was filled with thoughts and a surge of grief.

Thinking that Sect Leader Lu Jiuxiao was no longer among them, he felt even more depressed.

The Tianji Fortress gave him a great opportunity, but it also changed the fate of some people.

Originally, Lu Jiuxiao and Ye Yunyin would not have died.

Cao Rui did not stay for too long and continued to fly forward, soon arriving at the Lingtan in the back mountain.

He took a deep breath and used his magic power to transmit his voice: "Beast Ancestor, disciple Cao Rui, requests to see you." The voice was like ripples, penetrating into the bottom of the pool.

After a while, the spiritual pond began to shake slightly, the water began to rotate, and the huge head of the Beast Ancestor slowly emerged from the water.

Its eyes looked a little tired, but when it saw Cao Rui, a look of relief flashed in its eyes.

"Boy Cao, why did you come back at this time..." The Beast Ancestor said in a low voice.

At this time, the best choice for Cao Rui personally is obviously to break off contact with the Spirit Beast Sect.

But at this time Cao Rui chose to return, and the Beast Ancestor was actually quite relieved.

However, when it looked at Cao Rui carefully, its eyes suddenly widened in shock: "Huh?! Cao boy, why has your body become so powerful?"

As a fourth-level demon beast, the Beast Ancestor possessed extraordinary eyesight and immediately realized the true strength of Cao Rui's body.
