Chapter 736 - Arrangements Before Cultivating

"We don't have the strength to stop the demons, so how will we do it? I suppose Young Master Leonhardt has a brilliant plan in mind?" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman guessed.

However, Leon shook his head with a wry smile.

"Nothing of that sort. We simply need to get stronger, and right now, we have the means to make that possible in a short time," Leon stated.

He took out the Abyssal Wood Demon King's demon core and said, "Senior should be able to grow quickly with this, right?"

"No, I've already shattered my core and lost the ability to temper my body," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman shook his head.

"Unless I create a new core or refine another one to take its place, I won't be able to put this demon core to good use even if you gift it to me. And if you expect me to refine this demon core as my new core, then I must say that it won't work."

"The power in this demon core is too much for anyone's body to handle. Drawing power from it like a Celestial Spark is fine, but trying to refine the entire object will result in self-destruction," Leon stated.

He naturally understood the risks.

"So Young Master Leonhardt is also aware of the danger," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman nodded with approval before saying, "We can't eat more than we can chew. With my current physique, an Arch Demon-level demon core is my limit."

"An Arch Demon-level demon core, huh?" Leon muttered thoughtfully.

After a moment, he took out Paragon Blackfrost's ice coffin before removing the demon core from the Arch Demon's body.

"It just so happens that I also have an Arch Demon-level demon core."

"So much has happened in this Ashenwood Forest that I've forgotten Young Master Leonhardt had already cleared an Arch Demon-level Tomb."

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman smiled wryly before glancing at the Arch Demon-level demon core for a moment.

"Does Young Master Leonhardt really intend to gift this demon core to this old man? Young Master Leonhardt must know that there's a high chance that this demon core could go to waste."

"What do you mean, senior?"

"There's no doubt that refining this demon core will allow me to embark on the path of body forging again, but only if I can refine the demon core successfully. The shattered remains of my old core will most likely cause problems unless I can remove them all out of my system."

"I can help with that," Leon smiled confidently before saying, "However, I will require Senior's full cooperation. Are you up for the task?"

"If Young Master Leonhardt is this confident, then I see why not. What does this old man have except for his life?"

After getting the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's confirmation, Leon asked for the senior's complete stillness before commencing with the operation.

With divine sense as his eyes, Leon locked onto the scattered shards within the senior's head before proceeding to crush them with divine will and filter them all out of the senior's body, draining much of his mental energy at the same time.

Although Leon could have invested less effort by utilizing the Nihility Law to erase the shards, it was too risky for him to carry out with it.

The slightest mistake on his part, and he could easily snuff out the elder's life.

"It's done. Senior can move now," Leon informed as Aria wiped the sweat on his forehead with a clean cloth from her storage ring.

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman quickly performed introspection before his eyes snapped open with surprise.

"Young Master Leonhardt's skills are too impressive. Every piece of the old core's shards has been thoroughly removed. To think that this old man still has a chance to become a Battle King in this lifetime…"

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman felt emotionally moved.

"Senior is too humble. With the new Arch Demon-level demon core as your foundation, you can definitely become a Battle King. But why stop there? Since we are here in the secret realm, perhaps they will even be chances for Senior to become a Battle God."

"And all this will be thanks to you, Alliance Leader. Just give the word, and this old man will carry out your will."

Alliance Leader…

It was just two words, but it showed the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's complete support in Leon leading the tribes.

"Haha, I'm not the Alliance Leader yet, but I will accept the goodwill."

Shortly after Leon handed both cores to the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman, he shifted his focus onto Aria and Darlene.

At that moment, Darlene was still diligently trying to achieve Transcendence.

Leon wasn't sure how long it would take him to cultivate the Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness, but he couldn't neglect Darlene and Aria's progress.

After a moment, his eyes flickered with an idea.

"This tier-7 divine sword is capable of generating sword intent. So if you study it well, you might be able to comprehend your own sword intent quickly."

"Mm."

"Don't start right studying it yet, though. I have something else to give you, but give me a moment to refine it.

Shortly after saying that, Leon took out his spirit herbs and pill cauldron to refine the Soul Enhancement Pills.

A few minutes later, Leon successfully refined a batch of Tier-3 Soul Enhancement Pills with High-rank quality.

"Hm? Leon!"

Darlene quickly cried out his name with joy and jumped into his arms after Leon disrupted her deep meditation.

"Alright, alright… Hold on for a minute."

After Leon peeled Darlene from his body, he kept five of the Tier-3 Soul Enhancement Pills and divided the remaining for in two for both of them.

"These Soul Enhancement Pills will improve your souls and help you comprehend things easier. However, you should only take one once in a long while to avoid causing irreversible damages to your souls," Leon explained.

To be honest, he should have given one around him sooner, but it completely slipped his mind with everything that's been going on.

Nevertheless, Aria and Darlene accepted the pills with pleasant surprises before giving him a smooch on each cheek.

Leon enjoyed their affection, but he forced himself to end their moments to focus on more important matters.
