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

Chapter 156: Venerable's Calculations

Qi Yuan sat in his chair, patiently waiting for the results.

It must be said that the feeling of using connections for the first time was quite good.

Now, Feng Lan has already passed on the information.

...

In the Heavenly Cave, a gust of cold wind howled.

A tall man stood outside the cave, his face filled with awe. He angrily said, "This Blood Robe Sword God is truly going too far. He unjustly killed Mi Er and boasted at the Divine Flower Gathering, provoking Venerable. Isn't it because he has Wind Jun Venerable as his backing?"

Now, he dares to interfere in the battle of the Eastern Land's geniuses, wanting to directly obtain a spot. He really doesn't put the three Venerables in his eyes!"

This tall man is a Violet Palace Late Stage cultivator who has always served Venerable Ye Qiong.

Upon receiving Feng Lan's message, he was filled with anger.

In the Heavenly Cave, the cold wind blew.

A childish voice came, "What do you think should be done?"

The tall man furrowed his brow and pondered, "With Wind Jun and the Great Tribulation approaching, Venerable needs to preserve his strength. It's not good to make a move against the Blood Robe Sword God."

He was contemplating how to deal with the Blood Robe Sword God.

But after thinking for a while, he couldn't figure out what to do with the Blood Robe Sword God.

Could it be that he really had to let the Blood Robe Sword God succeed in disrupting the battle of the Eastern Land's geniuses and enter the Moonwatch Continent?

Suddenly, the tall man's brow twitched, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes. "Let him enter the top twenty of the Eastern Land's geniuses."

The Blood Robe Sword God's actions are undoubtedly for the purpose of entering the Moonwatch Continent.

In the Moonwatch Continent, the Heavenly Dao is broken, and the strong have fallen. Not only do we, the Ash Water World, have designs on them, but the Demon Race also does.

The Demon Race possesses treasures, and any cultivator above the Five Realms will be sensed by them.

If the Blood Robe Sword God enters the Moonwatch Continent, he will definitely be discovered by the Demon Race. With the unruly nature of the Demon Race, they will surely kill the Blood Robe Sword God.

If the Blood Robe Sword God enters the Moonwatch Continent, he will surely perish!"

Currently, the Moonwatch Continent is in a delicate balance.

The weakest are the natives of the Moonwatch Continent.

The strongest is the Demon Race.

Even the three Venerables are extremely wary of the Yin God of the Demon Race.

If the Blood Robe Sword God enters the Moonwatch Continent, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

In the Heavenly Cave, there was silence, and after a long time, the childish voice came again, "Everything will be as you said."

The tall man heard this and his eyes filled with joy.

At this moment, another childish voice came from the Heavenly Cave.

"If it's convenient, investigate his origins."

"Based on the current clues, it can be determined that the Blood Robe Sword God, the Mad Daoist, and the Seven Desires Demon Lord are the same person. They all come from remote countries," the tall man reported with his head lowered. "There is no more information to be found. According to my subordinates' speculation, the Blood Robe Sword God may not be a creature of the Ash Water World."

There was silence in the Heavenly Cave, only the howling of the cold wind could be heard.

"Investigate which members of the Divine Flower Gathering are from the other countries."

After a long time, the childish voice came again.

"Understood!" The tall man bowed his head, his face showing a troubled expression.

This matter is difficult to investigate.

...

In Central Cloud City, Feng Lan felt uneasy but maintained a smile on his face.

"Senior Blood Robe Sword God, why are you so obsessed with entering the Moonwatch Continent? Why not just join one of the forces where the geniuses are and gain the qualifications to develop the territory in the Moonwatch Continent?"

Qi Yuan lazily replied, "The Moonwatch Continent is my home, I have to go back."

He had already taken the Heavenly Dao of the Moonwatch Continent for his Foundation Building.

The Moonwatch Continent was already his home.

Feng Lan smiled awkwardly.

The power level in the Moonwatch Continent is not high and cannot support the existence of a powerhouse like the Blood Robe Sword God.

So naturally, he thought the Blood Robe Sword God was joking.

"When I enter the top twenty, I will have the qualifications to enter the Moonwatch Continent. I'm in a hurry," Qi Yuan said anxiously.

He wanted to see if the Moonwatch Continent was the world he had once been in.

He also wanted to know if the woman he had never seen before had a chance to meet again.

"After the battle of the Eastern Land's geniuses is over, the entrance to the Moonwatch Continent will temporarily open, and you can enter at that time," Feng Lan replied.

"Okay." Qi Yuan nodded.

At this moment, Feng Lan's communication jade slip suddenly lit up.

Qi Yuan stared at him and asked, "Did you receive a message?"

Feng Lan felt nervous and didn't dare to look. He was afraid that the Venerables above would react strongly, not only refusing the Blood Robe Sword God but also arrogantly provoking him. The Blood Robe Sword God wouldn't dare to kill the Venerables, but he would dare to kill him!

He entered his divine sense into the jade slip, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. "The Blood Robe Sword God, they have already agreed above. You will be exempted from the trial and granted the top twenty of the Eastern Land's geniuses, as well as the qualification to enter the Moonwatch Continent."

Feng Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that they wouldn't agree to this matter.

Qi Yuan heard this and smiled, "They are quite tolerant. When they have time, I'll treat them to a meal."

Feng Lan smiled awkwardly.

He definitely wouldn't pass on these words to the higher-ups.

A while ago, Bloodied Sword God provoked Venerable Ye Qiong during the Divine Flower Gathering. He was well aware of it.

If the two were to meet, there would definitely be a fight.

"I entered the top twenty of the Eastern Land's Prodigy Ranking. Do I have a chance to choose a reward for the prodigies?" Qi Yuan looked at Feng Lan and asked.

Qi Yuan remembered the instructions from the sect leader very clearly.

Feng Lan was taken aback for a moment, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.

Indeed, there were rewards for the top one hundred of the Eastern Land's Prodigy Ranking.

The rewards were mostly powerful Divine Infant Law Treasures.

For young prodigies, they were useful, but what use did they have for someone like Bloodied Sword God?

"Naturally." Although he was puzzled, Feng Lan did not hesitate. He waved his hand and a storage bag flew into his hand from deep within the palace.

"Bloodied Sword God can choose any one of these Law Treasures, or even both."

The storage bag was opened, revealing a dazzling array of Law Treasures.

If Qi Yuan, who was in the Qi Refining realm, saw these, he would be impressed.

But now that he had reached the Star Gold Core realm, he looked down on these treasures.

He looked at the purple-gold gourd and said, "I'll take this."

This gourd was the treasure that the sect leader had instructed Qi Yuan to obtain.

"Good eye, senior." Feng Lan carefully examined the gourd and discovered its hidden secret. "This gourd is actually a Violet Palace Law Weapon."

After saying that, Feng Lan regretted it.

An ordinary Violet Palace Law Weapon was nothing to Bloodied Sword God.

The person who destroyed Clear Light Palace didn't need these.

At this moment, the taciturn Cloud Court Master looked at the purple-gold gourd and boldly asked, "May I ask if there is any connection between you and this gourd?"

"Yes." Qi Yuan glanced at him and said, "This is a treasure from an elder in my clan. Now... it should be returned to its original owner."

"I see." The Cloud Court Master continued, "May I have a way to contact you, senior?"

Qi Yuan did not refuse and casually showed the Cloud Court Master a Violet Palace communication jade slip.

"Good luck, Court Master, Feng Lan, Fairy Nose Picker. Farewell." Qi Yuan turned into a blood shadow and disappeared.

Feng Lan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

The Cloud Court Master's gaze was deep, as if he was pondering something.

Fairy Yue had a look of grievance on her face, speechless and choked up.

...

When Qi Yuan returned to the Cave Mansion, Kang Fulu's figure had already disappeared.

Jiang Ya was still standing on the Bodhi Tree, contemplating the cultivation technique.

Qi Yuan looked at Jiang Ya and shouted, "I've successfully taken the backdoor route and won't participate in the Eastern Land's Prodigy Battle.

I'm going into seclusion for seven days to study the cultivation technique!"

Jiang Ya looked at Qi Yuan with a puzzled expression and said, "Alright."

Indeed, Qi Yuan's strength would only make him cannon fodder in the Eastern Land's Prodigy Battle. It was better for him not to participate.

After entering the Cave Mansion, Qi Yuan hung a sign outside that said, "In seclusion for seven days, do not disturb. Trespassers will be killed!"

It concerned the Great Dao of the Gold Core, so he naturally took it seriously.

He even placed the kitchen knife and the Blood Soul Sword inside the door to guard them.

Two days later, Kang Fulu looked at the words outside Qi Yuan's Cave Mansion and showed a strange expression. He couldn't help but sigh, "Junior Brother's talent... is even stronger than mine. It's a pity that this time, if it wasn't for the early start of the Eastern Land's Prodigy Battle, he might have had a chance to enter the top one hundred of the Prodigy Ranking and retrieve the clan's treasure from the sect leader."

But now, Junior Brother hadn't even formed a Gold Core yet. Participating in the Eastern Land's Prodigy Battle would be suicide.

Jiang Ya remained calm and said, "Let's go, the Eastern Land's Prodigy Battle is about to begin."

The two of them turned into streaks of light and headed towards the depths of Cloud Court.

In the mountains, a secret realm opened, radiating with light, and the spiritual energy in the air became abundant.

Jiang Ya looked at the young prodigies ahead and her expression became serious.

Kang Fulu sighed, "Ah, I'm the son-in-law of the Divine Light Sect's sect leader and the disciple of the Five Light Peak's peak master. These titles are useless here."

He felt the presence of too many powerful individuals.

Looking around, there were many opponents he couldn't defeat.

His pride as a First Grade Gold Core cultivator seemed ordinary here.

"Ah, Junior Brother is right. If my Gold Core were a bit stronger, I wouldn't feel so inferior."

He stood among the crowd, quite inconspicuous.

At this moment, a majestic voice resounded in everyone's ears.

"The rules of the Eastern Land's Prodigy Battle have changed this time.

There are only nineteen spots for the top twenty. Don't make mistakes, everyone."

All the prodigies' faces changed when they heard this.

"Only nineteen spots for the top twenty? What does that mean!"

"In such a grand event as the Eastern Land's Prodigy Battle, there are still people shamelessly taking the backdoor!"

"It's despicable!"

"It's envy!"

Many prodigies were discussing.

Those who were originally ranked in the twenties had even uglier expressions. With one less spot, the competition became more intense for them.

"Despicable! Which descendant of a sinister god is it that dares not to participate in the Eastern Land's Prodigy Battle and actually takes the backdoor!"

At this moment, Kang Fulu was stunned. He looked at Jiang Ya and asked, "Did Qi Yuan say that he took the backdoor?"

"Yes." Jiang Ya nodded, her expression strange. "He also said that he succeeded in taking the backdoor."

Kang Fulu fell silent, unable to comprehend in his heart.

Coincidence... or something else?

"It shouldn't be this... sir!" Kang Fulu muttered to himself.

...

"This is bad."

Inside the Cave Mansion, Qi Yuan's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

"Have I gone astray?"

While continuing to practice the Qi Yuan Scripture, Qi Yuan discovered that the techniques he had obtained were completely useless.

Because, some time ago, he had already decided to pursue both the Gold Core Great Dao and the Divine Infant Great Dao.

However, the Gold Core Great Dao was boundless and endless, with no end in sight.

Qi Yuan estimated that in order to reach the end, his little sun would have to swallow the entire universe.

That was still a long way off.

"So, the Qi Yuan Scripture should be divided into the Stellar Gold Core section and the Advanced Divine Infant section."

The Stellar Gold Core section involved strengthening the True Sun Fire and devouring the stars.

The Advanced Divine Infant section was about ordinary cultivation, ultimately stepping into the Divine Infant stage.

"If I step into the Divine Infant stage, does that mean I will be both a Primal Core cultivator and a Divine Infant cultivator?" Qi Yuan murmured, feeling a bit dizzy.

"The techniques I need are becoming more and more numerous, I'm so poor!"

The Gold Core section required the creation of two techniques, so naturally more techniques were needed.

If it weren't for his sense of justice and Qi Yuan being a law-abiding citizen, he would have wanted to become a Rogue Cultivator.

"White Moonlight, where are you?"

"Also poor Venerable, why can't you just ambush me?"

Qi Yuan helplessly.

He walked out of the Cave Mansion.

The inn was quite empty.

Those people had all gone to the secret realm to participate in the competition for the East Earth's geniuses.

At this moment, Qi Yuan took out a communication jade slip and his eyes showed a surprised expression: "Cloud Court Master?"

He didn't expect that while he was in seclusion, the Cloud Court Master would still contact him.

His figure flashed and he appeared in the Cloud Court.

Wearing a blood robe, with an extraordinary handsome appearance, he attracted many gazes as soon as he appeared.

"Cloud Court Master, what can I do for you?" Qi Yuan spoke, his gaze calm.

He sensed that in this Cloud Court, there were actually a Violet Palace Late Stage cultivator and several Violet Palace Mid Stage and Early Stage cultivators.

Could it be that White Moonlight had finally taken notice of him and come to give him techniques?

These people were all high-quality old men.

"Greetings, Blood Robe Sword God!"

"Greetings, Blood Robe Sword God!"

At this moment, more than thirty Violet Palace cultivators came forward and saluted Qi Yuan.

Among them was Qi Yuan's old acquaintance, Xu Yeli.

But at this moment, Xu Yeli pretended not to recognize Qi Yuan.

These Violet Palace cultivators could be said to be the top power in Cuiyun Continent, and they had all gathered here.

Any one of them could cause chaos in a city or a country.

But in the face of Qi Yuan, all they had in their eyes was awe.

Qi Yuan looked at the Cloud Court Master and his gaze remained calm: "What do you want me to do?"

The Cloud Court Master's strength was not the strongest among this group of Violet Palace cultivators, but he seemed to be the leader at the moment.

"Senior, please destroy the Clear Light Palace and rid Cuiyun Continent of a great menace!"

"Now, with Cuiyun Continent leaderless, we are willing to push Senior as the leader of Cuiyun Continent!" The Cloud Court Master said solemnly.

The Violet Palace Late Stage cultivator also lowered his head: "We are willing to push Senior as the leader."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan smiled.

Were they asking him to become the leader of the martial world?

"I like things to be simple and straightforward, no beating around the bush." Qi Yuan said.

A group of Violet Palace cultivators pushing him as their leader was equivalent to finding someone to take care of them.

Unless there were special circumstances, who would be willing to do that?

Only the Violet Palace Late Stage cultivator stepped forward and said, "Senior, do you know that a great calamity is approaching?"

Qi Yuan shook his head.

Nonsense calamity, he had heard the Cloud Court Master mention it, but he didn't know the specifics.

It was estimated that even these Violet Palace cultivators didn't know what it was, only the Yin Divine Level would know.

"In a few hundred years, a great calamity will come, and the world will likely be plunged into disaster."

"All cultivators will be in danger, and even we, as Violet Palace cultivators, will only be able to live from day to day in the calamity."

It was precisely because of this that the Clear Light Palace initiated the Hundred Nations Blood Battle, intending to restore the Emperor's Extreme Shocking Dragon Crown in order to reduce the calamity.

Only the power of the Yin Divine Level had a chance to resist the calamity and allow us to survive."

"So, you want me to... protect you?" Qi Yuan understood.

The Emperor's Extreme Shocking Dragon Crown was gone, and so was the Clear Light Palace.

The Yin Divine power of Cuiyun Continent was gone.

Faced with that elusive calamity, Cuiyun Continent was simply unable to resist.

So, these Violet Palace cultivators came one after another to seek refuge with Qi Yuan.

After all, Qi Yuan had destroyed the Clear Light Palace and had a profound background as a Yin God.

"That's right," said a powerful cultivator at the late stage of Violet Palace.

Everyone looked at Qi Yuan with awe.

The powerful cultivator of Violet Palace continued, "We are willing to form the Blood Robe Alliance and make the senior our leader. We are willing to be the senior's arms. Whatever the senior needs, whether it's Law Treasures, techniques, or treasures, we can find them for the senior."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan pondered.

It had to be said that he was somewhat tempted.

Because he did indeed need techniques.

And it would be much more convenient for these old men from Violet Palace to help him find techniques than for him to do it himself.

It could be said that if he became the leader of Cuiyun Continent's righteous path, wouldn't all the techniques of Cuiyun Continent belong to him?

At this moment, the Lord of Yunzhong Court stepped forward and said, "Senior, please take a look at who this is."

Following the voice of the Lord of Yunzhong Court, a weak-looking old man was brought onto the stage.

Fear and resentment could be seen in the old man's eyes.

This old man emitted the aura of Violet Palace.

Qi Yuan shook his head, "I don't know him."

The Lord of Yunzhong Court continued, "Senior, some time ago, you were entrusted by your elders to obtain the Purple Gold Gourd. The Purple Gold Gourd was leaked from Hong Lian's clan."

Two thousand years ago, Hong Lian, an old man, became infatuated with the saintess of the Wood Clan and wanted to take her as his concubine.

The saintess of the Wood Clan chose death over submission and committed suicide.

As a result, Hong Lian, in a fit of anger, massacred the entire Wood Clan, with only one or two survivors.

The Purple Gold Gourd was obtained by Hong Lian from the Wood Clan.

The elder who entrusted you with the task should be a member of the Wood Clan.

Hong Lian has already been taken down by us, and we leave it to the senior to decide his fate!"

Hong Lian looked at the Lord of Yunzhong Court with anger in his eyes, "I have already joined the Water Immortal Continent. Are you trying to start a war with the Water Immortal Continent by capturing me?"

The Water Immortal Continent, adjacent to Cuiyun Continent, was slightly stronger than Cuiyun Continent with the Clear Light Palace, but not by much.

Qi Yuan looked at Hong Lian.

He vaguely understood.

This should be the enemy of the sect master and Elder Xuan Chong who wiped out his clan?

Back then, Elder Xuan Chong, who had a bad temper, had taken care of him quite a bit.

Qi Yuan looked at Hong Lian with a smile on his face, "If the Water Immortal Continent is full of Violet Palace cultivators like you, what's wrong with starting a war?"

He wanted more white moonlight.

The powerful cultivator at the late stage of Violet Palace smiled awkwardly and did not dare to speak.

At this time, Qi Yuan spoke again, "Great Shang and Divine Light Sect, leave them to True Monarch Kumuzhi."

Meishan and Xu Yeli's expressions tightened, "Yes, sir."

Knowing about this secret, they knew that the bond between them and the Blood Robe Sword God could no longer be severed.

"Give him this Purple Gold Gourd too," Qi Yuan said with a smile.

Inside the Purple Gold Gourd, he left behind an Origin Divine Ability and a strand of Sun True Fire.

He was not afraid of these two having any other thoughts.

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, his figure dissipated.

Only Meishan, Xu Yeli, and Hong Lian remained.

Xu Yeli looked at Meishan with a puzzled expression, "Senior, I'm actually curious, why did you choose the Blood Robe Sword God?"

Xu Yeli had only recently learned about the impending catastrophe.

He finally understood that their group of Violet Palace cultivators was so close to death.

"Are you trying to say that the Blood Robe Sword God has offended the impoverished Venerable and doesn't have much time left?" Meishan spoke with a desolate voice.

"No... that's not what I meant."

"Besides the Blood Robe Sword God, do we have any other options? I hope that the impoverished Venerable will also consider the impending catastrophe and not make a move against the leader for the next few hundred years. Only in this way, under the protection of the leader, will we have a chance to survive when the catastrophe arrives."

PS: I'm not feeling well, so I'm taking a day off. There was no update at 6 a.m., I'm very sorry.

Starting tomorrow, I will release two chapters around 6 a.m. every day (the time may change, gradually adjusting to the schedule in the mortal world), and I won't release any at midnight, so everyone can wake up and read together.
