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

Chapter 113: Threat from Supreme

As night fell, Ning Tao curled up, her overly fair hands tightly gripping the chain.

"Husband..." she murmured.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, sweat forming on her forehead.

She looked at the blood ball not far away, a trace of loss flickering in her eyes.

He had left.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the space.

A blood-red figure emerged and condensed into a man. "Ning Tao, why are you involved with the Blood Demon?" the man asked.

The man's head was also covered in a black robe, making it impossible to see his face.

He and Ning Tao were both members of the Northern Demon's Thirteen Monsters, named He Wu.

"He is not the Blood Demon," Ning Tao said seriously.

"All the Supremes in the Northern Region consider him the Blood Demon, so he is the Blood Demon!" He Wu said.

As members of the Northern Demon's Thirteen Monsters, they were different from other Supremes and did not care about the Blood Demon's affairs.

After all, the Blood Demon brought calamity to the world, something that would happen hundreds of years later.

But the crisis they faced was imminent.

He Wu looked at Ning Tao. "With your current state, I'm afraid you won't last a hundred years before falling. How will you survive the Gate of Myriad Differences? If you can't maintain your peak strength and fight for a hundred days, you will only meet death."

Upon hearing this, Ning Tao fell into a brief silence. She did not continue the topic but asked, "Have you found the person who spread rumors about the Blood Demon in the Tianxin Palace? Who is my great enemy?"

News of the Blood Demon in the Tianxin Palace had spread throughout the Northern Region, and Ning Tao was besieged. There was someone behind all this.

"It's suspected to be Daoist Zi," He Wu answered.

"Him?" Ning Tao sneered, a murderous intent flashing in her eyes. "I have no grievances with him, so why frame me?"

"Do we, the Thirteen Monsters, need to have enemies? Aren't we all hated by the heavens?" He Wu laughed self-deprecatingly.

Since birth, people with the word "monster" on their faces like them had been hated by everyone.

Did others need a reason to frame them?

This was their original sin.

...

In the city of Wugui, Qi Yuan returned after killing the demons, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

"Rather than saying the blood ball is the Blood Demon, it's better to say... I am the Blood Demon," Qi Yuan examined himself internally.

Within his divine soul, the source of sin accumulated more and more, growing from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a fist.

If Qi Yuan didn't control it with all his might and give it freedom, he would undoubtedly become a terrifying demon.

"I am a player, just a damn Blood Demon," Qi Yuan cast aside his previous emotions.

"Big brother, you're back?" At that moment, a frivolous voice sounded.

Chen Huan, dressed in a white robe, leaped down from the city wall, a brilliant smile on his face.

Looking at Chen Huan, Qi Yuan helplessly said, "I don't want to be your sworn brother, I'm not that childish."

The white-robed man in front of him had arrived in Wugui City five years ago.

Chen Huan's identity was also extraordinary. He was one of the three thousand disciples of the White Emperor.

After arriving in Wugui City and hearing about Qi Yuan's deeds from Yuan Qi, as well as witnessing Qi Yuan's actions several times, Chen Huan insisted on becoming Qi Yuan's sworn brother.

How could a noble player become sworn brothers with an NPC?

If word got out, it would be laughable.

"Big brother, I am the peak Land Myth. Maybe one day, I will break through to the realm of Supreme. Having one more little brother in the realm of Supreme would be quite prestigious, don't you think?" Chen Huan had a carefree personality and was quite familiar.

"I... don't care about prestige," Qi Yuan couldn't be bothered with Chen Huan. With a flash of his figure, he appeared on the city wall.

Chen Huan also followed him onto the city wall, gazing at the vast desert. "Big brother, you have guarded Wugui City alone for seventy years. I truly admire you. But it's just that I haven't broken through to the realm of Supreme yet. If I do, and you come to me to become sworn brothers, do you think I will still consider you someone important?"

"You've been saying this for five years, but why haven't you broken through to the realm of Supreme?" Qi Yuan looked at Chen Huan with disdain. "Don't tell me someone can be stuck at the peak of Land Myth for a hundred years."

Chen Huan had reached the peak of Land Myth a hundred years ago.

Chen Huan was not in a hurry. "Big brother, becoming a Supreme is not that easy. To achieve Supreme, one must comprehend the essence of human and demonic power. First, one must comprehend the nature of human and demonic power. Second, one must find their own path within human and demonic power and awaken their own Divine Ability.

These two tasks are extremely difficult, like reaching the heavens!"

In the Ash Water World, to become a Violet Palace, one must comprehend the essence of spiritual energy.

In the Flowing Wind Realm, it is the comprehension of human and demonic power.

"Is it difficult?" Qi Yuan felt that Chen Huan was still no match for the Glacial Tyrant Girl and the Great Sun Burning Sovereign.

Not to mention the Glacial Tyrant Girl and the Great Sun Burning Sovereign, even the rogue Immortal Venerable, based on talent alone, is probably stronger than Chen Huan.

After all, to compare oneself to an Immortal Venerable, what kind of great power is that?

Unfortunately, the rogue Immortal Venerable cannot enter the game world, otherwise he would definitely show Chen Huan what a true genius is.

Let the rogue Immortal Venerable demonstrate to Chen Huan what a true prodigy is.

"Difficult." Chen Huan's face showed a heavy expression.

Both of these are difficult.

Especially the first one, understanding the essence of the Human-Demon power.

As long as one successfully understands the first one, if a cultivator does not have great aspirations and does not pursue a powerful original Divine Ability, they can easily step into the Supreme realm.

Chen Huan happens to be someone without aspirations.

Unfortunately, after wasting a hundred years, he still hasn't succeeded.

"I actually think that the Human-Demon power is simple, but the original Divine Ability that comes after is more difficult." Qi Yuan pondered.

After watching Gate of Myriad Differences, his Human-Demon path has reached a terrifying level.

What is the essence of the Human-Demon power?

Qi Yuan feels that he understands it better than White Emperor and the Sovereign.

As for the original Divine Ability, it is more complicated.

During the time of the Earth's Desolation, Qi Yuan faced nearly three thousand old men and witnessed various kinds of original Divine Abilities.

Each kind of original Divine Ability has its own path based on the original essence.

Some original Divine Abilities are weak, while others are strong.

Qi Yuan naturally doesn't want to awaken a weak original Divine Ability at level 120.

Qi Yuan will carefully consider the path of the original Divine Ability.

After returning from the game world, only a portion of his cultivation has returned to his true body.

However, the skills remain in his true body.

Skills like the Sky-Cutting Sword Art, Death Radiance, and Tyrannical Power are actually Divine Abilities that can only be used at the Nascent Soul stage.

Qi Yuan can use them at the Foundation Building Stage, and he can quickly kill Divine Infants. There is a big reason for this.

If he reaches level 120 in the game world and possesses his own original Divine Ability.

Then, even at the Foundation Building Stage, he can possess a Divine Ability equivalent to the Violet Palace realm.

Without an original Divine Ability, Qi Yuan can only passively endure attacks from Violet Palace realm cultivators from Clear Light Palace.

Because only with an original Divine Ability can one harm a Violet Palace realm cultivator protected by an original Divine Ability.

So, a powerful original Divine Ability is necessary.

Now, even if Qi Yuan can dodge attacks from Supreme's original Divine Ability, he still cannot harm Supreme.

When Ning Tao encounters danger, he can only rely on his mouth.

He still hasn't seen his future path and cannot awaken his original Divine Ability.

As for the essence of the Human-Demon power, it is the simplest for Qi Yuan.

"Big brother, you really know how to boast. The Human-Demon power is simple? If it's really that simple, then Supremes in this world would be worse than dogs." Chen Huan looked at Qi Yuan with disbelief.

Qi Yuan ignored Chen Huan and squinted his eyes, looking ahead.

Chen Huan seemed to have noticed something too, and the smile on his face disappeared as he looked in the direction Qi Yuan was looking.

In the sky, a stream of light flashed, a terrifying aura filled the air, and the pressure enveloped the sky.

The stream of light stopped at the eight miles outside Wugui City, the radiance dissipated, and a woman in a sky-blue dress appeared.

With sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, she exuded a sharp Sword Intent.

She stood in the yellow sand, and Qi Yuan seemed to see an unopened sword.

[Huang Mengling, level 119.]

"Commander of Wugui City, listen up!" Huang Mengling extended her hand, and a golden decree appeared.

Qi Yuan blinked his eyes.

Is she looking for him?

But... I'm just a player, why should I listen to her orders?

Whose orders should I listen to?

He didn't move.

The air became silent, and at this moment, Chen Huan shouted, "Senior Sister, why are you here in the Yuzhou region? What's going on?"

Huang Mengling heard Chen Huan's voice, her face still cold.

"The situation between the North and the South has changed. The five Supremes have issued an order for all the commanders in the Yuzhou region to abandon their cities and go to Dabeicheng! Within a hundred days, they must rush to Dabeicheng to defend against the Northern Control Demon Man."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huan's expression tightened.

The situation in the Yuzhou region has become so tense?

Supreme unexpectedly issued an order to abandon the cities in the Yuzhou region and retreat to the city of Dabeicheng.

"Sister, can you give me some inside information?" Chen Huan shamelessly asked.

Huang Mengling's expression remained unchanged. "In the Qiancheng battlefield, three new Supremes have arrived from the northern region, one of whom is a Grand Supreme."

"What?" Chen Huan's face changed upon hearing this. "Grand Supreme?"

The Grand Supreme is the pinnacle of the Supreme level.

It can be said that besides the White Emperor and the Lord, the Grand Supreme is already the most powerful figure in the Liufeng Realm.

"How could a Grand Supreme suddenly come to the Qiancheng region?" Chen Huan was astonished.

In the Qiancheng region, which is just a small part of the 108,000 cities in the battlefield, it is already remarkable to have a few Supremes stationed there.

Now, with the arrival of a Grand Supreme, it is truly strange.

"I don't know about this either," Huang Mengling said coldly. "Please leave Wugui City immediately and go to Dabeicheng!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Huan anxiously looked at Qi Yuan. "Big brother, why don't we leave? If a Supreme arrives, we won't be able to withstand them with our limited strength."

Qi Yuan showed an indifferent expression. "I'm not leaving."

He has been stationed in Wugui City for so many years, so naturally he won't leave.

Chen Huan quickly tried to persuade him. "You know the situation is critical now. With the arrival of a Grand Supreme and the retreat of all the cities in the Qiancheng region, you staying here alone will attract a lot of attention."

"You can't convince me, so stop trying," Qi Yuan refused.

Chen Huan's words made sense, and anyone with a normal mind would leave Wugui City and go to Dabeicheng, concentrating all their strength in one place.

Unfortunately, Qi Yuan has a normal mind, but he is playing a game, so how could he leave?

Chen Huan became anxious.

In the distance, Huang Mengling's eyes showed surprise, but she continued, "Junior brother, if he doesn't go, let him be."

"I still need to inform the other cities. Come with me," she said to Chen Huan.

Upon hearing this, Chen Huan's face showed a conflicted expression.

"You go," Qi Yuan also said.

Chen Huan's words were endless, constantly buzzing in his ears, disturbing his peace.

"No," Chen Huan made up his mind and shouted to Huang Mengling, "Sister, you go first, I'll wait a bit longer."

Huang Mengling continued, "The cities in the Qiancheng region are retreating and gathering in Dabeicheng. If you stay here, no one will support you. You will be a lone soldier stranded outside. Even if the two of you manage to break through to the Supreme level, you will undoubtedly die."

Huang Mengling's words were directed at Qi Yuan.

She couldn't see Qi Yuan's true strength, but she could roughly guess that it was similar to Chen Huan's.

Generally, peak mythological land experts often take risks to break through their boundaries.

She guessed that Qi Yuan stayed in Wugui City to seize the opportunity, cultivate his original Divine Ability, and break through to the Supreme level.

But the chances of success were almost nonexistent.

Not to mention that even if he broke through to the Supreme level, he would only face death when a Grand Supreme arrived.

After finishing her words, Huang Mengling turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the vast desert.

Qi Yuan looked at the streak of light and asked, "Is she also a disciple of the White Emperor?"

"Yes, she is my senior sister!" Chen Huan's eyes showed admiration when mentioning Huang Mengling. "She is not like me, a disciple who has been in the White Emperor's palace for a thousand years without even seeing the master."

Senior sister is different. She has seen the master.

Senior sister's understanding of the origin has already reached a certain level. I'm afraid it won't be long before she enters the realm of Supreme."

"Oh?" Qi Yuan thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "Since your senior sister has understood the origin, why don't you ask her to tell you what the origin is? That way, you can also enter the Supreme level, right?"

Chen Huan looked at Qi Yuan like an idiot. "Apart from the fact that my senior sister has no obligation to tell me, even if she did, it would be useless. Understanding the origin is something that needs to be comprehended by oneself."

To be honest, sometimes I even doubt if there's something wrong with your brain. You don't even know the most basic things."

"Understanding the origin is useless when others tell you?" Qi Yuan was surprised. "Isn't it useful?"

When he preached on Jiupan Mountain, he also explained some aspects of the origin.

At that time, several cultivators with strong cultivation levels had comprehended some aspects of the origin.

At that time, Qi Yuan mainly explained the "Kunmo Technique." If he had completely explained the origin of human and demonic power, many people would have comprehended it on the spot.

"If the origin could be passed on by word of mouth, wouldn't there be Supremes everywhere?" Chen Huan replied.

Qi Yuan fell silent and looked at Chen Huan, not knowing what he was thinking.

...

Twenty days passed, and Chen Huan hurriedly came to Qi Yuan.

"All the cities in the Yuzhou region have been evacuated. Why haven't you left?" Chen Huan's face showed some anxiety.

Qi Yuan sat in Wugui City like a turtle, unmoved. "No rush. By the way, do you know which Grand Supreme came to the Qiancheng region this time?"

Qi Yuan thought of Wu Tong.

When Wu Tong attacked, he brought with him a Supreme's original Divine Ability with a single strike.

That incident was somewhat suspicious.

I wonder if there is any connection between this big Supreme coming here and that incident.

"Purple Daoist." Chen Huan's face turned serious. "This person is one of the top powerhouses in the big Supreme."

"Is that so?" Qi Yuan remembered that purple water droplet.

Is it the person who plotted against him?

There is a certain probability.

Regardless of whether it is or not, they are all enemies!

Qi Yuan took out a notebook from his pocket.

"What are you doing?" Chen Huan was surprised.

"I'm writing him down in my little notebook."

If he offends someone, Qi Yuan definitely needs to remember them.

After all, his memory sometimes has temporary lapses, and enemies must not be forgotten.

"Haha." Chen Huan laughed. "You won't treat this notebook as a family heirloom and cause trouble for future generations to find Purple Daoist, will you?"

He didn't think that Qi Yuan would have a chance to kill Purple Daoist in his lifetime.

"Wait until I reach level 120, and I'll kill him like slaughtering a dog!" Qi Yuan said confidently.

Now, with the help of Xiao Jia, he can exert a power of over level 120.

However, he still doesn't have an original Divine Ability, so he cannot defeat a Supreme.

"But that's a big Supreme. Even if you cultivate for thousands of years, you still wouldn't be a match!" Chen Huan said.

After thinking for a while, Qi Yuan said, "You're right. I can't kill Purple Daoist for now."

"You really dare to think. In my opinion, we should run away quickly. After we become Supreme, we can come back and settle the score." Chen Huan advised again.

As for becoming a Supreme, he knew he wouldn't have a chance within a thousand years.

Even after the North-South Battle ends, he still hasn't become a Supreme.

In the grand scheme of things, he is just like a pebble.

Even if he becomes a Supreme, he would still be just a slightly bigger pebble.

"Run away? No! Now I need to come up with a meticulous hunting plan for Purple Daoist!" Qi Yuan said seriously.

"...You really dare to think. That's a big Supreme! The gap between a Supreme and the land myth is even greater than the gap between us and ordinary people. As long as the original source is not extinguished, we can't even harm a Supreme!" Chen Huan said helplessly.

"You might as well listen to my plan. After hearing it, you will definitely be moved by my wisdom and wholeheartedly approve of me." If it weren't for Chen Huan being a part of the plan, Qi Yuan wouldn't have leaked the plan to an NPC.

"Tell me." Chen Huan smiled.

"A meticulous plan requires deep thinking. If I tell you directly, there may be flaws, so I'll write it down for you to read." Qi Yuan always felt that he was not good at expressing himself and was not good with words.

Important things should be written down.

He took a pen and wrote on the notebook, writing frantically.

He looked serious, sometimes pondering, sometimes frowning.

Chen Huan stood by, witnessing Qi Yuan being so serious for the first time.

Could it be... a truly invincible plan at the Transcendent Level?

Using a thread to connect multiple Supremes, then using a strategy of deception, various chaotic methods, and killing the Supremes.

"I'm done writing!" Qi Yuan held the notebook and became more and more proud as he looked at it.

If he had written such a perfect plan on Blue Star, he would definitely be sweating profusely.

Now that he is a cultivator, he naturally wouldn't.

But in order to create an atmosphere, he still let small pearls of sweat drip from his forehead.

"Let me take a look." Chen Huan couldn't wait and took the notebook from Qi Yuan's hand.

He held it with both hands and carefully looked at Qi Yuan's grand plan.

About ten breaths of time passed.

He was speechless.

"Is this it?" Chen Huan was speechless. "This plan is nonsense, and it's completely impractical. My great-great-great-granddaughter could come up with a better plan than this!"

[Day 1-10: Teach Chen Huan the original source, help Chen Huan break through and enter Supreme;

Day 11-20: Go out to find isolated Supremes, let Chen Huan hunt them with the original Divine Ability, and I will guide from the side. Finally, I will personally collect their heads.

Day 21-100: Continue to kill Supremes, accumulate experience, comprehend the original source, break through to Supreme, and kill Purple Daoist.]

Upon receiving this comment, Qi Yuan immediately reflected on himself. After a long time, he suddenly realized, "I understand. Maybe I didn't indicate the difficulty of the mission. I'll mark it now!"

"... " Chen Huan sighed, "Your plan is too far-fetched. Let's take the first step, teaching me the original source and helping me enter Supreme. Is that even possible?"
