Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 102: Understanding the Door of Countless Differences, Gaining the Ability of Mutation

"You can speak...wow, you're a monster!"

The canary flapped its wings, flying three meters high, its small body trembling with fear.

Qi Yuan was speechless at this remark: "I am a human, a genuine human. You, as a bird, should be speaking bird language, not human language. You're the monster!"

"This lady can speak bird language!"

"biubiubiubiu...jijijijiji..."

The canary's voice sounded like a machine gun, or perhaps an alarm on an electric scooter, crisp and piercing.

"This lady used bird language, so this lady is not a monster. What about you? You're a drop of blood, say something in blood language, otherwise, you're a monster?" the canary questioned.

At this moment, her conversation with Qi Yuan had no logic, as if she were a foolish internet user.

How does blood speak?

Qi Yuan was dumbfounded.

But he couldn't let himself be outdone by a bird.

"Dinosaur...wolf...blood blood blood..."

Qi Yuan instantly made up nonsense.

The canary's small eyes widened, its eyeballs spinning around: "You're lying to me, where does blood speak like that?"

"You're not blood, so how would you know how blood speaks?" Qi Yuan felt that he had the intellectual advantage in facing the canary, directly using the idiom "A fish cannot know the joy of a fish."

Sure enough, the canary was stunned by Qi Yuan.

"Neither of us are monsters?" It cautiously flew over and landed near Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan was taken aback, realizing that he had been tricked.

Whether one can speak bird language or blood language has nothing to do with being a monster.

"You're a monster, I'm not," Qi Yuan emphasized.

The canary landed next to Qi Yuan: "Even if this lady is a monster, she is a very beautiful monster. As for you, you're an ugly freak!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan couldn't bear it: "If I were to transform, I would still have a dignified appearance."

The two of them argued like children, gradually becoming familiar with each other.

Qi Yuan realized that this canary wasn't very intelligent, rather foolish, and extremely vain, or one could say, obsessed with beauty.

Qi Yuan felt that this canary brought him down to its level of intelligence.

He didn't argue any further with meaningless words, but asked, "Where is this place?"

"This is Jiupan Mountain."

"Where is Jiupan Mountain?"

"It's in Jiupan Mountain," the canary replied with a look of a mentally challenged person.

Qi Yuan was speechless. Why don't you say Erxian Bridge or Huaguo Great Dao?

But he understood that he wouldn't get an answer from this canary.

"Do you know about the North-South Divide?" Qi Yuan asked again.

Most people in the Flowing Wind Realm generally knew about the North-South Divide.

The canary shook its head.

"Then...do you know about the Monstrosities?" Could it be that this realm is not the Flowing Wind Realm?

The canary's small eyes widened, showing a look of fear: "You mean those ugly things? There are many of them down the mountain!"

Qi Yuan heard this.

He looked at the sky without any stars and understood that this should still be the Flowing Wind Realm.

"Those ugly things, crazy and deranged, when they see us, they attack us."

"Do you know what that door in the sky is?" Qi Yuan asked again.

The door in the sky, mysterious and ancient.

When he was in the Flowing Wind Realm, he had never seen such a door in the sky.

This also meant...that the place he was currently in...

"I don't know," the canary shook its head.

Qi Yuan didn't want to talk anymore. After all, this foolish canary couldn't answer anything.

He looked at the door of Countless Differences in the sky and slowly comprehended it.

The canary next to him glanced at Qi Yuan and returned to its nest.

A small nest hung on a big tree, looking quite delicate and exquisite.

The canary returned to its nest and groomed its smooth feathers.

It took half a day to groom itself.

After an unknown amount of time, it seemed to sense something and stuck its little head out: "Blood Pearl, what are you doing? Is there something interesting about that door?"

"I am comprehending the origin," Qi Yuan answered the canary.

His comprehension of the origin was not like what was shown on TV, requiring full immersion and no disturbance.

Just looking with his eyes was enough.

Besides, fragments would fall.

[You have comprehended the Door of Countless Differences, Back Rubbing Ability +1.]

[You have comprehended the Door of Countless Differences, Mutation Ability +1.]

[You have comprehended the Door of Countless Differences, Mental Disorder +1.]

Anyway, they were all strange comprehensions.

The more Qi Yuan comprehended, the better his mental state became.

"What is comprehending the origin?" Canary looked up at the myriad gates in the sky, a trace of instinctual fear appearing in its eyes. "Can it make me more beautiful?"

"Probably... it's possible," Qi Yuan answered truthfully.

After all, the things comprehended through enlightenment were strange and varied, so it was normal for them to have the ability to become more beautiful.

Upon hearing this, Canary became excited. "I want to comprehend too!"

It imitated Qi Yuan and stared blankly at the myriad gates in the sky.

With each comprehension, Qi Yuan's figure gradually grew larger.

And in this month, the ability he comprehended the most was the power of mutation.

There were a total of ten of them.

As for the other strange abilities, they were just glimpses and not systematic.

A month later, a sudden storm swept over Jiupan Mountain, the wind blowing the trees, and the whole world was soaked. Qi Yuan continued to gaze at the myriad gates in the sky through the rain curtain.

Amidst the thunderstorm...

[You have comprehended the myriad gates, and your combat power has slightly increased in the rain.]

"Can it still be like this?" This was the first time Qi Yuan had comprehended an increase in combat power in this month.

However, the cold rain hitting his face made him quite uncomfortable.

At this moment, a banana leaf covered his head, shielding him from the rain.

Canary's voice came, "Blood Bead, it's raining heavily."

Qi Yuan glanced at it. Its feathers were mostly wet, and it was shivering. "I'm not afraid of the rain, you should go back to your nest. Your feathers will lose their beauty if they get wet."

"Tsk!" Canary held up the banana leaf. "We're neighbors, Missy here sees that you have no hands or legs and pities you... Ah-choo..."

"Canary can sneeze too?" Qi Yuan saw it for the first time.

Canary, wet and feeling cold, turned its head away and didn't want to look at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan said softly, "Fire."

Suddenly, a faint flame rose beside them.

Canary saw this and its eyes darted around. "You can use magic?"

"The abilities obtained through comprehending the myriad gates are unstable," Qi Yuan explained.

These abilities obtained were different from the fireball spell in Ash Water World.

The fireball spell could be used in Ash Water World, but it would have no effect in the game.

However, Qi Yuan had a feeling that the abilities obtained through comprehending the myriad gates were interconnected. They could not only be used in the Flowing Wind Realm but also in Ash Water World.

This was somewhat similar to his game skills.

Although this ability seemed useless, Qi Yuan felt that it had great potential.

"Wow, Blood Bead, you're amazing. Why haven't I comprehended anything when I've comprehended the myriad gates? Instead, my eyes are getting blurry," Canary approached the flame, feeling lazy, and some of the coldness on its body dissipated.

"Could you be nearsighted? How can you be nearsighted when you're looking at the sky? Maybe you shouldn't comprehend," Qi Yuan suggested.

"No, I want to become more beautiful!" Canary stubbornly said. Suddenly, its eyes rolled. "Have you smelled something strange, like something burning?"

Qi Yuan glanced over, and Canary's tail was ignited by his flame. "...Your tail is on fire."

"Ah... um... my feathers are on fire!"

"Blood Bead, I'm not done with you!"

The banana leaf was lifted, and the rain poured onto Canary's feathers, extinguishing the flame.

There were still traces of burning on its tail.

How could it, who loved beauty the most, accept such a result?

It glared angrily at Qi Yuan.

"Missy will ignore you for the rest of her life."

It ran back to its own house like an angry child.

It looked at its tail, looking very aggrieved.

It muttered, "Blood Bead, if you don't take the initiative to talk to me, Missy won't pay attention to you."

Canary looked at the heavy rain outside and simply slept in its nest.

It seemed that only by sleeping could it alleviate the pain in its heart at this moment.

In the evening, a banana leaf fell above Qi Yuan, blocking most of the rain.

Qi Yuan looked at the special shape of the leaf, a bird's nest that could shelter from wind and rain, at a glance.

He then saw the flustered Canary, as if it realized it had been discovered, and it glared angrily at Qi Yuan.

"What are you looking at? If you don't apologize, Missy won't forgive you."

In the following days, Canary indeed did not chat with Qi Yuan.

It seemed that its feathers being burned, as a naturally beautiful bird, had truly made it angry.

Qi Yuan continued to comprehend the myriad gates, and the mutations on his body continued to increase.

After a whole year, Qi Yuan's mutations had reached nearly a hundred.

The rest of the strange abilities were like a basket of fleeting moments.

"Hey, Blood Bead, when are you going to apologize to Missy on your own!"

One evening, Canary appeared in front of Qi Yuan.

Its tail seemed to have grown back, and it glared angrily at Qi Yuan.

After a year, it finally acknowledged Qi Yuan.

"...Who are you?" Qi Yuan felt a bit confused.

"You... have forgotten Missy, unforgivable!" Canary looked at Qi Yuan, its fur about to stand on end, and it paced around Qi Yuan.

"Oh, you're the canary, I remember now. Thank you for the banana leaf," Qi Yuan thought hard and suddenly laughed.

The canary stared at Qi Yuan, "Are you like a fish in the river, with a bad memory?"

Time passed, and twenty-seven years flew by.

Qi Yuan's figure went from being as small as a marble to the size of a soccer ball.

His mutation ability had also reached nearly a thousand.

The Gate of Myriad Differences in the sky gradually became fainter, as if it could disappear at any moment.

"Blood Bead, who do you think is more beautiful, me or the white fox on Seven Pan Mountain?" The canary flapped its wings and landed in front of Qi Yuan.

There were several mountain ranges around Nine Pan Mountain.

On Seven Pan Mountain, there was a white fox that could speak human language, making it the most popular creature among the nearby mountains.

One's own doghouse is better than someone else's golden or silver palace.

"You are the most beautiful," Qi Yuan said, comforting his neighbor with insincere words.

"Of course, I'm the most beautiful. Those guys have no taste, they actually ranked that white fox as the number one beauty!" The canary complained.

Suddenly, the canary looked up at the sky, a dumbfounded expression on its face. "Blood Bead, the Gate of Myriad Differences that you've been looking at... it's gone. Don't be sad."

"Blood Bead?"

"Blood Bead?!!"

...

Has it returned?

Understanding the origin, coming and going in haste.

Qi Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the surroundings. He had returned to the city of Wugui.

"So this is understanding the origin?" Qi Yuan recalled the Gate of Myriad Differences in the sky.

He had spent twenty-seven years in understanding, and what he gained the most was his mutation ability.

When the Gate of Myriad Differences disappeared, his understanding came to an end.

"What exactly is mutation ability?"

"And what is the Gate of Myriad Differences?"

Qi Yuan looked at his own body.

"Fire."

He said softly.

A flame ignited.

He didn't cast the spell Ash Water World, nor did he use any abilities from the game.

He said fire, and fire appeared.

"Mutation?" Qi Yuan said softly.

Unfortunately, his body didn't undergo any changes.

"Could it be that I didn't understand enough about mutation ability?"

"Or did I fail to discover the problem?"

"I guess I'll have to wait until I reach level ninety for the next understanding."

At level sixty, he had the opportunity for understanding, and the same would happen at level ninety and one hundred twenty.

Putting aside these emotions, Qi Yuan embraced Xiao Jia and the two of them lay in the pit at the city gate once again.

...

In the windless desert, as far as the eye could see, there was only yellow sand, exuding a sense of vast beauty.

Qi Yuan embraced Xiao Jia and sat on the city wall, feeling quite relaxed.

"This kind of guarding mode is actually quite good. If I keep grinding monsters all the time, even if I'm made of iron, I won't be able to withstand it."

Although Qi Yuan had the Radiance of Death, he was still too weak now, and recovering from injuries was troublesome.

At least he had to wait until level eighty or ninety to use the Radiance of Death for the most powerful effect.

At that time, he would be like an immortal cockroach.

"Have they arrived?"

At this moment, Qi Yuan squinted his eyes and looked towards the vast desert.

In the distance, dust was flying.

The demonic army was advancing, stirring up a scene akin to a sandstorm.

And this time, compared to before, it seemed much stronger.

"Eight hundred?"

"More than twenty level forty-nine monsters?"

Qi Yuan squinted his eyes.

In the past, there would usually only be one or two monsters of this level.

But this time, there were more than twenty.

"The newcomers are not good!" Qi Yuan's eyes revealed a happy smile.

"After dealing with the small ones, have the big ones finally arrived?"

He lifted his broken sword and leaped down from the city wall.

Just like before, he shouted at the demonic army ahead, "I am the guardian of Wugui City. Trespassers... will be killed without mercy."

Qi Yuan raised his sword, his slender figure contrasting sharply with the thirty-zhang-high city wall.

And this time, unlike before, the advancing demonic army suddenly stopped its pace.

A woman's voice came.

"What a handsome man."

With this voice, a coolly dressed woman walked out.

Her face was ordinary, just above average, but her figure was extremely explosive. She wore a blood-red long dress with a slit up to her waist, revealing half of her hip bone as she moved. On her slightly wheat-colored skin, there was a deep palm print.

Her face was adorned with strange tattoos.

The one who came was the demon controller, Cai Xia.

She looked at Qi Yuan and a hint of ambiguity appeared in her eyes. "I wondered why we couldn't capture Wugui City, turns out there's a cultivator here."

Qi Yuan looked at Cai Xia, also showing a surprised expression. "Besides the extraterrestrial demons and the illusions in Tianjue, this is the first time I've seen a humanoid experience pack."

A trace of regret flashed in Cai Xia's eyes. "You're handsome and strong, but your head is a bit problematic. But well, I'm not interested in your brain, but your body."

As she spoke, Cai Xia's drooling gaze looked at Qi Yuan and licked her lips. "Are you interested in joining my camp in the North?"

This kind of communication is normal.

The demon hunters guarding the city of Wugui have a large number of people fleeing to the North every day, becoming members of the Northern camp.

Cai Xia's previous male pet was one who escaped from the Jialan City.

"I only see you as an experience pack, and you actually covet my body, seeking death!" Qi Yuan held a broken sword, his face filled with anger.

"Puxin woman, shrimp head woman!"

"It seems... you haven't realized the reality yet." Cai Xia's smile froze on her face. "In Wugui City, you have no support. And the demonic army in my hands is endless. Do you think that by stopping a few waves of demonic armies, you can defend Wugui City? Even if you are a national guardian or a land myth, you cannot hold Wugui City alone! The city of 108,000 will eventually collapse!"

As Cai Xia spoke, she stepped back.

As a demon controller, her strength was actually quite ordinary.

The demonic army was her greatest reliance.

More than twenty tyrant-level demons were enough to sweep a small city like Wugui.

Not to mention, there were hundreds of other demons behind them.

As Cai Xia retreated, the demonic army roared and charged towards Qi Yuan.

"Kill!"

Qi Yuan stood alone in front of Wugui City, facing eight hundred demonic soldiers, and charged into the midst of the demonic army.

Only a flash of sword light could be seen, and more than a dozen demons were directly cut into pieces.

At this moment, a different kind of notification sound reached his ears.

[Anomaly progress 1%, extracting 1% of the demonic source.]

[Obtained demonic source *1.]

Qi Yuan paused for a moment.

In the past, when he killed demons, he could only gain experience.

Now, when he kills demons, he can also obtain demonic sources.

Is this related to his comprehension of the origin and the abilities he gained from the anomaly?

What is a demonic source?

However, he couldn't think too much about it.

At this moment, he was still in the midst of a great battle, and he could only find out everything after the battle was over.

The slaughter has just begun!

With the demonic source, Qi Yuan felt that he was more excited and put more effort into killing monsters.

Not far away, Cai Xia saw this scene, and the greedy look in her eyes became even stronger. "Such a strong body, I really want to take a bite."

However, after a few hundred breaths, the greedy look on her face completely disappeared and turned into fear.

Because the eight hundred demonic soldiers surrounding that person had been killed by him, and he still had no injuries on his body.

He held a broken sword, not resembling a swordsman, but an assassin charging into the army.

What assassin could withstand an army's attack head-on?

She finally realized the seriousness of the situation. "You are a national guardian!"

In this small Wugui City, there was actually a national guardian!

Qi Yuan held the broken sword and killed a tyrant-level demon with one strike. He greedily looked at Cai Xia. "Thank you for bringing me this appetizer."

Level 60 and level 59 are a watershed.

According to the classification of Ash Water World, it is the difference between Foundation Building and Primal Core.

According to the classification of the Moon Watching Continent, it is the difference between Emperor and Supreme Emperor.

According to the classification of the Flowing Wind Realm, it is the difference between a national guardian and a tyrant.

In the past, without Xiao Jia's Body Integration, he would have had to use some means to kill these eight hundred soldiers.

But now, it was easy to kill them.

Cai Xia, upon hearing this, didn't hesitate and fled directly.

A national guardian was not someone she could deal with!
