Sand Beasts (3600 Added)

Vast stretches of yellow sand.

"So this is the Boundless Desert..."

Protected by a defensive formation, not a grain of the windblown sand outside could breach the flying vessel.

After taking in the scenery from the deck, Aaron headed into one of the cabins.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators were holding a small gathering inside.

Hua Sanniang was a social butterfly, blessed with flower-like beauty. She had easily drawn quite a few Rogue Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage to her side and faintly carried herself like their leader.

Aaron had no objection to attending such Foundation Establishment gatherings. Exchanging insights on cultivation techniques and sharing interesting tidbits, even bartering goods—these were all mutually beneficial matters.

"A Golden Core patriarch from a sect in the Demon Moon Kingdom died in the battle against the Black Demon Sect. Things have been chaotic ever since..."

"After the rewards for merit were handed out, cultivation forces in every nation underwent a reshuffling. New powers rose, old powers exited the stage... it was only inevitable."

At this moment, the Foundation Establishment cultivators were chatting animatedly.

Hua Sanniang was faintly at the center of it all, eagerly courted by several male cultivators.

Aaron recognized several of them: the Rogue Cultivators Daoist Qingfeng, Yuanjue, and Wu Sanqi...

Besides them, Su Cao of the Vast Righteous Sect, clad in spiritual armor, had shamelessly squeezed into the group as well. His eyes were fixed intently on Hua Sanniang, and he paid no heed to what the other Foundation Establishment cultivators were saying. His purpose was all too clear.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you're here?"

Seeing Aaron arrive, Hua Sanniang rose and gave him a graceful curtsy.

"Hello, Big Sister Hua!"

Aaron flashed a broad smile. Yet that deliberate form of address made Hua Sanniang's expression stiffen for an instant.
