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

Chapter 195: The Opportunity to Breakthrough to True God, Monkey

North Sea Dragon Race.

Five old dragons gathered together, their words filled with anger.

"Has his identity not been investigated yet?" The leader, dressed in a golden robe, had a fierce gaze.

"No." Another old dragon spoke, sounding somewhat helpless.

"To call himself the Descendant of Dragons, what audacity!"

"Sigh, our North Sea Dragon Race has suffered greatly, it's truly frustrating!"

It can be said that the Golden Jiao and the six Flood Dragons are the most formidable forces of the North Sea Dragon Race.

Apart from the Dragon Venerable who has taken three steps in the heavens, the rest of the old dragons have only taken one step in the heavens, and they don't even have the potential for more.

The Dragon Venerable, dressed in a golden robe, his gaze filled with anger, said, "To sever the backbone of my Dragon Race, even if his father is a Great Venerable, this matter cannot be left like this!"

"This matter indeed cannot be left like this." Just at this moment, a plain voice sounded, and the space fluctuated. A group of ancient gods appeared in the palace. Qi Yuan looked at the five old dragons, a smile in his eyes, "You still haven't compensated us."

The Dragon Venerable saw this, his pupils suddenly contracted, "You... Qionghua Great Venerable, how did you wake up?"

He instantly understood that it was Qionghua Great Venerable who brought this group of people into his palace.

His heart trembled, never expecting that Qionghua Great Venerable would actually awaken.

"Whether she wakes up or not has nothing to do with you. I have come here to demand compensation from you. That Golden Jiao, who offended me, today, if you don't bring out some treasures, my anger won't be quelled." Qi Yuan lazily said, resembling a spoiled second-generation ancestor.

"Do you have the right to interrupt when I'm speaking with Qionghua Great Venerable?" The Dragon Venerable couldn't help but say.

"Offending Heavenly Venerable with words, deserves punishment." Qionghua Great Venerable made a move in an instant, and the Divine Domain opened up.

Within the Divine Domain, even if the Dragon Venerable had taken three steps in the heavens, he was like an ordinary person.

Qionghua Great Venerable's delicate hand gently pushed, and the palm formed by divine power fell on the Dragon Venerable's body.

There was no sound.

Blood spurted from the Dragon Venerable's mouth, and one of his Divine Apertures within his body exploded.

"Consider it a lesson, I'll destroy one of your Divine Apertures." Qionghua Great Venerable finished speaking, retracted the Divine Domain, and stood quietly by Qi Yuan's side like a loyal maid.

Qi Yuan looked at Qionghua Great Venerable with admiration, then looked at the Dragon Venerable, "You have no insight at all. Didn't you see that the other four old dragons beside you didn't dare to speak when they saw me?"

The Dragon Venerable had one of his Divine Apertures shattered, his aura in disarray. He looked at Qi Yuan, no longer daring to speak.

He was puzzled.

Why did Qionghua Great Venerable treat Qi Yuan like this?

Could it be that Qi Yuan was Qionghua Great Venerable's son? But seeing how respectfully Qionghua Great Venerable treated Qi Yuan, it was clearly not something that could be explained by being a son.

Qi Yuan looked at the five old dragons, "You have offended me. Speak up, open the treasure vault, I'll pick some things, and this matter will be considered settled."

The Dragon Venerable lay on the ground, not daring to speak.

In fact, the five old dragons were secretly communicating, seeking a way to resolve the situation.

After about a few breaths, an old man stepped forward, his posture extremely low, "Heavenly Venerable, the Golden Jiao brought this upon himself. Offending Heavenly Venerable, he was killed by Heavenly Venerable's people, he deserved it."

Those old dragons who knew the current situation didn't dare to mention seeking revenge.

"Lead the way to the treasure vault." Qi Yuan wasn't interested in those grievances and enmities, all he wanted now was to obtain the supreme treasures. "If the supreme treasures can't satisfy me, hehe..."

Qi Yuan chuckled, but it made the hearts of the five old dragons tighten, sensing the threat of death.

The old man in the green robe hunched his body, devoid of the domineering presence of the Dragon Race, "Heavenly Venerable, please follow me."

Qi Yuan looked at the Dragon Venerable lying on the ground like a dead fish, "Actually, I still prefer your previous unruly appearance."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Venerable's blood surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, seemingly fainting from anger.

"Let's go, to the treasure vault." Qi Yuan waved his hand.

The group of people looked at the old man in the green robe and headed towards the treasure vault.

At this moment, Qionghua Great Venerable spoke, "The Dragon Venerable might hold a grudge. Should I find a time to kill him?"

She said these words not through voice transmission, but said them in front of the old man in the green robe.

Upon hearing this, the old dragon in the green robe trembled.

"If he misbehaves, you can kill him as you please," Qi Yuan said calmly.

"Understood," said Qionghua Dazun, relieved.

Under the guidance of the old dragon in the green robe, the group quickly arrived at the treasure vault of the Dragon Race in the North Sea.

Qi Yuan was somewhat surprised, "The treasure vault is built inside the prison, quite creative. Aren't they afraid of thieves escaping with the treasure?"

The treasure vault of the Dragon Race in the North Sea is not an independent palace, but rather located deep within the prison.

The old dragon in the green robe quickly explained, "According to what other ancient gods have said, Heavenly Venerable loves treasures that can break through to the realm of true gods. Such treasures are all stored in the Dragon Prison. In the Dragon Prison, there is a spring that can produce treasures."

This spring is similar to the North Sea Divine Eye.

The treasures in the Jade Flower Palace are mostly obtained in this way.

Soon, the group arrived at the spring.

Qi Yuan looked over.

[Occasionally, treasures will spew out from this North Sea spring.]

"There are only seven, quite few," Qi Yuan took the seven treasures, his expression unchanged.

Just now, there were already twenty-five pearls and jade in front of him, so the addition of seven did not excite him.

Seeing that Qi Yuan seemed unsatisfied, the old dragon in the green robe started sweating on his forehead.

"Aren't there other treasure vaults?" Qi Yuan said.

"Yes!" the old dragon in the green robe quickly said, afraid that Qi Yuan would be dissatisfied.

Qi Yuan looked at the Eighteen Arhats and the Four Heavenly Kings.

"You guys go explore his treasure vault and see if there are any suitable treasures."

"Understood!"

The Four Heavenly Kings and the Eighteen Arhats followed the lead of the old dragon in the green robe and left.

Qi Yuan looked at the treasures in his hand and tried them out, but soon showed a disappointed expression, "Still not enough."

Indeed, even with thirty treasures, he couldn't break through the restrictions and reach the realm of true gods.

"Qionghua Dazun, do you know of any way to break through to the realm of true gods without using these treasures?" Qi Yuan asked.

Qionghua Dazun was surprised to see this.

She probably understood that Heavenly Venerable's talent was too terrifying, surpassing the Unfed Holy Mother by far.

That's why he couldn't break through to the realm of true gods.

Without hesitation, she said, "After the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar, in the Mortal Heart Realm, only treasures can break through the restrictions. There are two ways to break through to the realm of true gods. One is to leave the Mortal Heart Realm, and the other is to repair the Heavenly Pillar. However, both paths... are very difficult."

I have heard that outside the boundary of the Mortal Heart Realm, there is a... being above the true gods."

"Above the true gods?" Qi Yuan was surprised. He looked up at the countless stars and immediately saw the blood-colored star, "If I remember correctly, there is also a being above the true gods within the Heavenly Pillar? Is the Mortal Heart Realm so attractive that so many sun gods are watching over it?"

"This matter involves secrets, perhaps only powerful beings like the Unfed Holy Mother know the reasons," Qionghua Dazun said, her eyes filled with endless confusion, as if she was worried about the future of the Mortal Heart Realm.

"Ah, why didn't they give me a summary of the game," Qi Yuan sighed helplessly, "Does that mean I can't break through to the realm of true gods?"

At this moment, Qionghua Dazun thought of something and pondered, "I have also heard of a few secrets that might be useful to Heavenly Venerable."

"Tell me."

"There is a clan called the Ancient Clan. This clan has a long history and existed even before the Battle of Hongtang. Within their clan, there is a sacred land. Once, there was an unparalleled genius who accidentally entered the sacred land. This genius's talent also surpassed the Unfed Holy Mother and couldn't break through the realm using treasures."

But when he came out of the ancestral land of the ancient clan, he unexpectedly stepped into the realm of true gods.

Later, this person was abducted by an evil god and became a minion of the evil god.

Now, the ancestral land of the ancient clan is under the control of this person, whose name is Ao Shi Da Zun." When mentioning this person, there was anger in Qionghua Da Zun's eyes.

After all, this person had extraordinary talent but betrayed the mortal realm and devoted himself to the evil god.

"How did he break through?" Qi Yuan asked curiously.

"I don't know," Qionghua Da Zun shook his head, "even Ao Shi Da Zun doesn't know how he broke through, so he surrounded the ancestral land of the ancient clan, constantly using ancient gods as experiments to find out the reason."

"It seems that I should go and see the ancestral land of the ancient clan when I have time," Qi Yuan said.

Of course, he wouldn't go now.

He still hadn't fully developed his wings.

Qi Yuan and Qionghua Da Zun continued to walk and chat. Suddenly, Qi Yuan stopped in his tracks.

He looked towards a nearby cage with a curious expression in his eyes.

"A monkey? What a coincidence?"

In the prison of the North Sea Dragon Race, Qi Yuan saw several monkeys, which surprised him.

Two of the monkeys were ordinary, meditating and sleeping.

One of them was covered in chains, on its feet and head.

Whenever it moved, the chains on its body made a clanging sound.

He curiously looked at the chained monkey.

In the prison, the monkey looked at Qi Yuan and bared its teeth.

A Dragon Race quickly stepped forward and said, "Heavenly Venerable, this monkey is from the ancient ape clan. It is unruly by nature and has attacked our Dragon Race before. We captured it and trapped it here."

"Let it out for a look," Qi Yuan casually said.

If he encountered a monkey elsewhere, it would just be a chance encounter.

But when he encountered it in the North Sea Dragon Race, it made him think.

Seeing this, the Dragon Race quickly went in and opened the cage.

Immediately, three monkeys walked out of the cage, two of them looking at Qi Yuan with fear on their faces.

Only the one with chains all over its body looked at Qi Yuan without fear.

"Heavenly Venerable, this monkey has extremely high talent. It is the most talented among the young generation of the ancient ape clan. Although it is only at the Violet Palace Late Stage, it has the potential to become a Da Zun," the Dragon Race said.

It was precisely because of the strong talent of this golden-haired monkey that it offended the North Sea Dragon Race. The Dragon Race did not kill it, but only trapped it, waiting for the ancient ape clan to redeem it.

And because this golden-haired monkey had strong talent and a naturally mischievous nature, it was fearless no matter what it did.

The golden-haired monkey looked at Qi Yuan and said boldly, "Did the clan chief send you to rescue me?"

"Not at all," Qi Yuan replied.

"Oh, I see," the golden-haired monkey said lazily.

In its eyes, Qi Yuan was just trying to please their ancient ape clan by rescuing them.

The other two monkeys approached.

"We will remember your lifesaving grace!" a skinny monkey said.

"Thank you!" another monkey also expressed gratitude.

"It's nothing, I just feel a connection," Qi Yuan acted on his instincts.

The golden-haired monkey became impatient and said, "Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi, stop the nonsense and come here!"

To the golden-haired monkey, the other two monkeys were just followers.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan smiled and said, "Indeed, very unruly."

The accompanying Dragon Race said, "This child has extremely high talent. A Da Zun once wanted to take him as a disciple, but was rejected by him. Such a genius should be nurtured well and will definitely become a powerful true god. Some arrogance and domineering behavior is normal."

Qi Yuan smiled and didn't care about these trivial matters at all.

A group of people headed towards the Dragon Race in Beihai.

The Golden-haired Monkey was not polite at all and looked at Qi Yuan, saying, "I smell the scent of treasures on you. Give me a few?"

"I have my uses," Qi Yuan calmly refused.

The Golden-haired Monkey wanted to say something else, but when he saw the unfathomable Qionghua Dazun beside Qi Yuan, he immediately held his tongue.

"Heavenly Venerable."

At this moment, a group of people approached.

It was the Eighteen Arhats and the Four Heavenly Kings.

They all held treasures from the Dragon Palace in their hands, with smiles on their faces.

Four graceful women stood by Qi Yuan's side, like maidservants.

Their aura was elusive, not true gods, so they wouldn't discover that they were true gods.

The two monkeys looked at the treasures in the hands of these twenty people, their eyes shining.

The Golden-haired Monkey looked at the treasure in Wang Wenqi's hand, a blood-red spear.

"Hey, if you won't give me the treasure, I'll take the one in your maid's hand!" The Golden-haired Monkey looked at the spear in Wang Wenqi's hand with a fervent look in his eyes.

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment. "What did you say?"

"Don't you want to befriend my Ancient Ape Clan? If you want to befriend my Ancient Ape Clan, you have to please me. I am the future king of the Ancient Ape Clan. I want that spear!" the Golden-haired Monkey said.

Because of his high talent, even if he caused trouble, others wouldn't do much to him. They would just capture him and wait for the Ancient Ape Clan to redeem him.

Therefore, the Golden-haired Monkey's character became more and more domineering and unruly.

"Don't think that if you let me go, I will be grateful to you and regard you as a benefactor. What are you thinking? Do you think I don't know? Even without you, with my powerful talent, the Dragon Race in Beihai wouldn't dare to do anything to me. Don't think you can threaten me with your favor!" the Golden-haired Monkey continued.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan couldn't help but say, "Why did a monkey have to learn something bad and become a keyboard warrior, imagining things? It's so strange. You clearly don't have a keyboard, so how can you say these things? In reality, there shouldn't be such brainless people, right?"

Qi Yuan released this monkey not because he saw potential in its talent or wanted to befriend the Ancient Ape Clan.

It was simply because he coincidentally encountered the monkey in the Dragon Race and felt a bit of a coincidence.

Was talent important to him?

Just the talent of the Falling Dragon Arhat and the Subduing Tiger Arhat surpassed the number one person in this realm, the Holy Mother of No Food.

But this monkey was jumping around, causing annoyance.

The Golden-haired Monkey was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect Qi Yuan to respond like this. "You released me from the Dragon Race in Beihai, but don't think you can befriend my Ancient Ape Clan because of that. I will personally..."

"I don't want to befriend the Ancient Ape Clan, and I even want to offend them," Qi Yuan interrupted the Golden-haired Monkey's words, "Why can't you just be a good monkey? Why do you have to imitate Tang Sanzang from 'Journey to the West' and keep talking? You don't look as good as Sun Wukong, but you have quite the temper. I'm not your father, so why should I spoil you?"

As soon as Qi Yuan finished speaking, he drew his sword.

A blood-red sword unsheathed, with lightning speed, directly killing the Golden-haired Monkey.

After killing him, Qi Yuan felt refreshed. He pointed his sword at the corpse on the ground, "I've been annoyed by you for a long time. Do you have any more nonsense to say?"

Unfortunately, the Golden-haired Monkey had long been dead and couldn't answer him.

His proud talent and reliance meant nothing in front of Qi Yuan.

The Dragon Race nearby saw this scene and broke out in a cold sweat on their foreheads.

Didn't they just meet less than fifteen minutes ago? How could he have been annoyed by it for a long time?
