I can gather experience beads

"Shut up, Tianji!" Cao Rui shouted.

"This is the ancestor of my spiritual beast sect!" Cao Rui said sternly.

"Ahem." Tianji baby pushed Cao Rui's hand away, floated in front of the Beast Ancestor and bowed respectfully: "Sorry, it's me, Meng Lang, who is being reckless."

Beast Ancestor pointed at Tianji Baby and said, "The helper you are talking about is him?"

Upon hearing this, Tianji Baby immediately said, "What's wrong? I'm very strong."

Cao Rui stroked his forehead and said, "This is the controller of the Tianji Fortress. It is a puppet with self-awareness and has the cultivation level of a golden elixir. However, it has made an agreement with me to follow me for a hundred years."

"Baby Tianji is still very trustworthy, but his personality is a little eccentric."

"He has been alone in the Tianji Fortress for too long, so it is inevitable that he is a little mentally disordered. Beast Ancestor, please don't blame him."

Upon hearing this, the Beast Ancestor looked at the baby Xiang Tianji again. It was indeed rare to see a puppet with self-awareness.

No, he had never heard of it before.

The Beast Ancestor nodded his huge dragon head, but he would not really argue with the baby Tianji: "Forget it, my life is almost over, and I have to solve the matter of Gu Qingying as soon as possible." His tone was solemn, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"After dealing with Gu Qingying, if there is still time, I would like to hear about what you saw and heard in Qingzhou, as well as the affairs of the demon clan." The Beast Ancestor said with a slightly melancholy look.

He knew that with his lifespan, he would not be able to see the battle between the monks of Yunzhou and the demons.

Cao Rui nodded.

He knew that the most important thing for the Spirit Beast Sect now was to eliminate the threat posed by Gu Qingying and restore the normal operation of the sect.

As for matters concerning Qingzhou and the demon clan, although they are also very important, they can be left for later learning.

Gu Qingying has begun sending disciples to plunder the assets of the Spirit Beast Sect in Yue Country. If this cannot be stopped in time, the losses of the Spirit Beast Sect will become increasingly greater.

Therefore, they must take action as soon as possible to resolve this hidden danger.

"Gu Qingying should have sent people to watch over the gate of our Spirit Beast Sect. As long as we open the gate, she should show up."

Cao Rui thought about countermeasures and put forward his own views.

The Beast Ancestor nodded slightly, agreeing with Cao Rui's point of view.

"I'll take care of this," the Beast Ancestor hummed.

Then, it closed its eyes and used its spiritual consciousness to transmit a message to the elders of the Spirit Beast Sect.

After a while, figures landed in front of the Spirit Pond. These were the elders of the Spirit Beast Sect. They had received a message from the Beast Ancestor to close the mountain protection formation and gather here.

Except for Zhang Mo and Qian Xiaotong who were still in Qingling Market, all the foundation-building practitioners from other sects were present.

"Beast Ancestor, why are you opening the mountain protection formation?" Wu Qingxuan asked.

Apparently Wu Qingxuan also received the message from the Beast Ancestor about shutting down the sect's mountain protection formation.

"Huh? Cao Rui?" Wu Qingxuan moved in front of Cao Rui.

At this time, the Beast Ancestor saw that all the foundation-building stage cultivators of the sect had arrived, so he spoke up, "I wish to appoint Cao Rui as the sect's leader. Do you have any objections?"

All the elders of the sect were stunned when they heard this, including Cao Rui himself. They were discussing the matter of closing the mountain protection formation.

How come this happened suddenly?

The Beast Ancestor continued, "Cao Rui has got an opportunity, and now he has reached the Golden Core Stage of body refining. His alchemy, weapon refining, and human nature are all top-notch, and he is more than qualified to be the leader of the Spirit Beast Sect."

"In addition, I asked you to open the mountain protection formation later in order to attract Gu Qingying to come over. I will kill Gu Qingying together with Cao Rui. We will fight to the death!!"

Elder Xu Qingzhi hesitated and said, "Since Cao Rui has already reached the Golden Core Stage, it would be meaningless for him to take the position of Sect Master."

"But Beast Ancestor, you are seriously injured and have not recovered yet. Would it be inappropriate to go into battle rashly?"

"Why don't we wait for you to recover from your injuries? Elder Wu Qingxuan will refine the formation plate that will allow us to build our foundation and fight against the golden elixir together. Together with Cao Rui, we will surely be able to kill Gu Qingying in one fell swoop!"

Xu Qingzhi also wanted to be on the safe side, and the other elders echoed him.

However, the Beast Ancestor sighed and said, "Xu boy, do you think I don't want to wait? But the current situation does not allow us to wait any longer." He swept his eyes across the audience with a hint of helplessness and determination.

"In addition to these two things, I have called you together today for one last thing." The Beast Ancestor's voice was low and serious, causing everyone present to feel nervous.

"That is, my lifespan has run out. I will die in a few days or a few months." These words came like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone so much that they were speechless.

It's been too long, too long. Ever since they joined the sect, or even since their master joined the sect, Beast Ancestor has always been the guardian beast of the Spirit Beast Sect. Its existence is like an indestructible fortress, giving them endless sense of security. However, at this moment, they heard this unbelievable news.

They had never thought that one day, the Beast Ancestor, who represented the supreme fighting power of the Spirit Beast Sect, would also run out of life and die. This reality was too cruel for them to accept for a while.

"This..." Feng Qiwu opened his mouth slightly, his eyes full of shock. It was obvious that he was unable to accept such shocking news.

She was well aware of his importance to the sect, and now when she heard the news, she couldn't help but feel sad.

The beast ancestor would perish in their generation. This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone.

In addition, there is news that the demons are about to invade, which has already been made public by the top leaders of the Spirit Beast Sect!

This made them feel as if they were in a huge storm with an uncertain future.

“In that case, no one will object to me opening the mountain protection formation.” The voice of the Beast Ancestor echoed in front of the spiritual pond.

Everyone was silent, knowing that there was no other choice at this point.

"While I'm still here, kill Gu Qingying in one fell swoop and take the opportunity to control Liuyun Sect and Miaoyin Temple." A cold light flashed in the Beast Ancestor's eyes.

“With the Lingyin jade pendant developed by Cao Rui, after the Lingshou Sect unifies the southwest of Yunzhou, it will definitely be able to turn the southwest of Yunzhou into an iron barrel.” The Beast Ancestor looked at Cao Rui and was full of confidence in him.

Cao Rui nodded slightly and said seriously: "Disciple will do his best."

The Beast Ancestor hummed and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then let's arrange it this way. Even in times of crisis, the succession ceremony of the Sect Master cannot be ignored."

"You guys go down and make the arrangements yourself. Immediately prepare for Cao Rui's succession ceremony at the main peak. Cao Rui will immediately succeed to the position of leader of the Spirit Beast Sect!"

"Then, we will open the mountain protection formation..."

Many elders rushed away and began to arrange the affairs of the ceremony with heavy hearts.

Everyone knows that the moment the ceremony ends, the mountain protection formation will be activated, and it will be the moment of the decisive battle between Cao Rui and the Beast Ancestor to fight Gu Qingying side by side.

This battle will determine the future fate of the Spirit Beast Sect.

No one knows Cao Rui’s true strength, and this is the Beast Ancestor’s last battle, so naturally he has complicated emotions.

Cao Rui himself was also wondering whether the mysterious man was really the same as he had guessed.

Cao Rui sat cross-legged in front of the Lingtan Pond, concentrating and calming his mind, waiting for the time to come.

The Beast Ancestor teased Zixiao like a kind elder.
