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

Chapter 201: Fortune Teller

After parting ways with the Venerable Thunder God, Qi Yuan continued to reside in the temple, living a simple and secluded life, waiting to go to the ancestral land.

To Qi Yuan's surprise, there were many people who signed up to enter the ancestral land this time.

For these villagers, entering the ancestral land was almost like a death sentence.

However, more than fifty people still signed up.

This surprised Qi Yuan.

In the end, the eight people chosen to enter the ancestral land were Village Chief Yu Lei, Divine Official Shen Tu, Shi Zhongshan from Shi Family Village, Chen Xifan from Chenxi Village, Zhu Zhuangshi, and others.

These people were all influential figures in Qi Yuan's territory.

They were chosen to go to the ancestral land.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" One day, Qi Yuan casually asked these eight people in front of the temple.

Zhu Zhuangshi shrugged, "Compared to death, I'm more afraid of being pinned down by a big black dog for the rest of my life!"

As an ancient clan member, Zhu Zhuangshi naturally knew the dangers of entering the ancestral land.

The mortality rate of True Gods in the ancestral land exceeded fifty percent. Even powerful individuals at the level of Great Venerable had perished in the ancestral land.

No risk, no reward.

If he didn't even have the courage to follow the Divine Lord into the ancestral land, how could he expect the Divine Lord to bestow them with the ability to observe divine techniques?

"Old Zhu, don't insult my sworn brother!" Shi Zhongshan defended the big black dog beside him.

Zhu Zhuangshi looked at Shi Zhongshan with disdain, "If I happen to obtain the ability to observe divine techniques this time, you'll be nothing more than a pig or a dog!"

Everyone present burst into laughter.

The fear of going to the ancestral land had dissipated to some extent.

"Alright, now that the entrance to the ancestral land has opened, let's not waste any more time. We should go and return quickly!" Qi Yuan was always a man of action. He made a plan and was determined to implement it.

"Alright!"

Village Chief Yu Lei took a deep breath and placed his tobacco pipe in the corner of the temple.

The other villagers were also filled with excitement.

At this moment, Qi Yuan looked at the Venerable Thunder God and asked, "Is Old Deng really a respected person?"

"Yes! Immortals do not deceive other immortals," Qi Yuan nodded earnestly and sincerely said, "Before you kill someone, just shout 'Old Deng is here' to add some flair!"

"I'll reluctantly believe you," the Venerable Thunder God patted his sleeve and looked at Qi Yuan who was about to leave, feeling sentimental.

"Wishing you a bright and shining star, illuminating the sky."

In the heavens, the stars and moon were bright, and the Ming River flowed in the sky.

"Why are you suddenly being poetic? Were you a literary youth when you were young?" Qi Yuan looked at the Venerable Thunder God with a puzzled expression. Then he said, "I'm not educated, so I wish you wealth and immortality."

"Who are you cursing? My family has only a meager fortune?" The Venerable Thunder God looked at Qi Yuan with a disgusted expression.

"You're too greedy," Qi Yuan casually replied.

After bidding farewell to the Venerable Thunder God and the others, Qi Yuan followed Village Chief Yu Lei and Divine Official Shen Tu to a ancient well in the north of the village.

The well was so deep that its bottom couldn't be seen, and a faint light shimmered along the edge, making it quite eerie at night.

Divine Official Shen Tu, dressed in a blue robe, walked forward and dropped a drop of blood into the well.

Instantly, the faint light intensified.

Qi Yuan felt a strong spatial fluctuation.

"A teleportation array?" Qi Yuan was curious.

Because in the Ash Water World, he had seen many formations, but he had never seen a teleportation array before.

The movement in front of him reminded him of the teleportation array in his memory.

Village Chief Yu Lei, with his white beard, nodded, "This is a teleportation array left over from ancient times. It can teleport us to the ancestral land."

Qi Yuan's curiosity grew even stronger, "What is the principle behind the teleportation array? Is it related to the laws of space?"

This was something Qi Yuan was particularly curious about.

When he was in the Ash Water World, he had wondered why there were no teleportation arrays.

He had asked the Sect Master, True Monarch Kumuzhi, and the answer he received was that the Great Dao of space could only be controlled by Yang Gods.

On the Moonlit Continent, he had also seen teleportation arrays in the Moon Empire.

His evaluation of the Moon Divine Origin Emperor, who was high above, had also risen.

Divine Official Shen Tu answered at this time, "The teleportation array has nothing to do with the laws of space."

"Ah?" Qi Yuan was a little confused, "If you can control the laws of space, can't you tear through space and escape?"

"Tearing through space and entering the place, it is the Void. If you enter the Void with your physical body, you will be dissolved by the Void.

Becoming a True God, you can also condense your Primordial Spirit. When your Primordial Spirit leaves your body, you can also enter the Void.

The Void cannot be used for traveling. In fact, it takes ten years to travel a distance in the Void that is not as far as a day's journey in the mortal world."

The place where the teleportation array leads to is called Anxu. It is the opposite of Taixu. The coordinates inside correspond one-to-one with the mortal world, but the distance is extremely short," the priest Shen Tu explained seriously.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan began to understand.

On a flat plane, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

Anxu, on the other hand, folds the paper to make the two points closer together.

It looks a bit like the wormhole in Qi Yuan's memory.

"How does a small Primal Core like you know so much? Are you an NPC specifically designed for explanations?" Qi Yuan looked at Shen Tu with a playful expression.

"As a priest, these inherited memories come naturally to me," Shen Tu explained.

"I understand. This is your setting. Everyone has their own settings, both in the game and in reality," Qi Yuan sighed. "Let's go, let's enter the teleportation array and take a look."

In an instant, more than ten people present entered the teleportation array.

Qi Yuan immediately felt that everyone present seemed to be enveloped in a transparent film.

He followed the transparent film and looked outside, only to see darkness.

"This is Anxu, there is no light or sound," Shen Tu sighed.

This was also his first time using a teleportation array.

Usually, cultivators can gain night vision when they reach a certain level, allowing them to see even without light.

But in Anxu, this was not possible. Even cultivators couldn't see or hear anything.

The only thing they could hear was the communication among the people in the teleportation array.

Qi Yuan looked around, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

[Teleportation array, a special creation that allows movement in Anxu.]

What he saw was only the teleportation array.

He couldn't see the true Anxu through the teleportation array, so he couldn't obtain any useful information.

He closed his eyes and listened carefully.

His vision was blocked, but what about sound?

In Ash Water World, he could hear Ning Tao's voice.

Time passed second by second.

Suddenly, several urgent voices entered Qi Yuan's ears.

"The Tama people will never be slaves!"

"Quick, we've found a world ahead. Let's go and occupy it to make money. With my savings of tens of thousands of years, I estimate we can gather enough money for Xiao Ning's tuition!"

"Unfortunately, it's not an Innate world. Innate worlds can be placed inside the body."

"Indeed, real men are born that way. How can they compare to the creations studied by countless generations?"

The voices were urgent, appearing and disappearing quickly.

Qi Yuan opened his eyes, curiosity in his gaze.

"There are still many people in Anxu," he looked at Anxu, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.

The villagers around looked at each other, "Lord God, where are the people?"

"In Anxu," Qi Yuan said. The voices he heard just now came from Anxu.

It sounded quite interesting.

As Qi Yuan spoke, a faint light flashed.

Qi Yuan and the others' journey ended, and they were about to come out of Anxu and enter the ancestral land.

...

"Is everyone here?"

Outside the ancestral land of the ancient clan, a burly man spoke with a fierce expression.

The twin sisters, ancient gods, stood a little away from the burly man. The elder sister looked at the hazy ancestral land ahead and said, "One more person is missing."

More than thirteen ancient gods gathered here, all of them were the guardian gods of the ancient clan, or unknown ancient gods who entered the ancestral land through the means of the ancient clan.

They stood in groups of three or two, not appearing to be familiar with each other.

The gaze of the twin sisters swept across everyone and finally fell on a man in a white robe. "It seems that Yan Xi, the ancient god, has made progress in his cultivation. He actually brought three followers this time."

Almost none of the ancient gods present had brought followers.

They could barely protect themselves in the ancestral land, so bringing followers would only be sending them to their deaths.

The ancestral land was ever-changing, and followers wouldn't be used as cannon fodder for exploration. That's why there were hardly any true gods who would bring them.

Those who wanted to bring followers were probably stuck at the peak of the Violet Palace and unable to break through, hoping to find treasures in the ancestral land.

Some treasures could only be taken out for less than a hundred breaths, so they had to bring followers.

Yan Xi, the ancient god, glanced at the twin sisters and his eyes held an indescribable meaning. "I managed to break through to the second step of the Heaven's Path by chance. Even in this ancestral land, I can only survive."

Upon hearing that Yan Xi had broken through to the second step of the Heaven's Path, the more than ten ancient gods present all looked at him with a different gaze.

Among the people present, reaching the second step of the Heaven's Path was already considered top-notch.

The twin sister's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, then relaxed: "It seems that Yan Xigu is very confident this time."

The people on the field exchanged polite greetings and did not speak again.

At this moment, the twin sister transmitted a message to her sister: "The situation doesn't look good for Venerable Yan Xi."

The sister glanced at the three followers beside Venerable Yan Xi and said coldly, "Those three must be lackeys of the Arrogant World Supreme!"

The Arrogant World Supreme was once an ancient god but later became a new god.

The ancestral land of the ancient clan has four entrances, three of which are controlled by the Arrogant World Supreme.

Only one entrance is still in the hands of the ancient clan.

The Arrogant World Supreme wants to excavate the secrets of the ancestral land, so they surround the three entrances that are missing one.

There are rumors that the Arrogant World Supreme seems to be close to uncovering the secrets of the ancestral land, so they are preparing to take control of the last entrance.

"Unfortunately, we can't leave for the time being, and the news here can't be transmitted." The sister looked worried.

"We can't even protect ourselves. Who knows which other ancient gods have joined the Arrogant World Supreme?" the sister sighed. "Stay away from Venerable Yan Xi when we enter the ancestral land."

The ancestral land of the ancient clan is located in the central area of the southern region.

This place is dominated by the power of the evil gods, but not by much.

Just then, a faint light flashed.

Suddenly, a group of more than ten people appeared in a grand manner.

The ancient gods present all had a moment of astonishment.

"Why... are there suddenly so many mortals?"

"What's going on?"

The newcomers glanced around casually and only found two with divine aura among the rest, while the others seemed to be mere mortals.

This group of people naturally belonged to Qi Yuan.

He looked at the people present and couldn't help but say, "Could it be... I'm the last one to arrive again?"

The twin sister, being straightforward, looked at Qi Yuan and couldn't help but ask, "Ancient god, why are you bringing so many people?"

The others were also curious.

If they were strong individuals, it would be understandable.

However, most of them were at the Primal Core and Divine Infant levels.

"The more people, the stronger the force," Qi Yuan casually replied.

The burly man from before showed a mouthful of white teeth and said, "You have too many people. Didn't you do your homework before coming? The ancestral land is extremely dangerous."

"Do you want to imitate some ignorant people and treat your people as expendable to explore the way?"

The burly man's words carried a hint of dissatisfaction, as if he was accusing Qi Yuan.

"Is it very dangerous here?" Qi Yuan looked at the hazy ancestral land ahead.

"It's very dangerous. Even true gods have a high chance of perishing inside the ancestral land. It's ever-changing, and it's useless to send people to explore. Bringing your people here... will only lead to their deaths. How about you give me three of your people, and I'll give you a Yin God Law Weapon?" The burly man felt that he could only protect three mortals at most and felt a pang of compassion.

He held a somewhat disdainful attitude towards ancient gods like Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan shook his head. "It's dangerous to follow you."

He looked at the ancestral land, and his left eyebrow suddenly twitched. "As the saying goes, when the left eyebrow twitches, it means wealth, and when the right eyebrow twitches, it means disaster. This time, I'm going to make a fortune by entering."

Qi Yuan said with a joyful expression in his eyes.

It seems that this time, things can be accomplished.

The burly man glanced at Qi Yuan and said dissatisfiedly, "Can your eyebrows predict fortune and misfortune? Come and predict for me."

He naturally felt that Qi Yuan was just fooling him.

Qi Yuan didn't look at the burly man but swept his gaze towards the ancient gods present, his mouth crooked.

"Meeting is fate. I'll be a fortune-telling master for free and predict for all of you."

"To be honest, it's the first time I'm fortune-telling for a true god."

In his past life, Qi Yuan had watched many TV dramas where fortune-telling Immortal Masters were the protagonists, and they would predict for mortals and receive their praise.

What's the point of fortune-telling for mortals? Fortune-telling for true gods is more interesting.

Back then, he had predicted for Chu Tianxiong of the Black Mountain Sect, and it turned out to be a bloody disaster.

As a result, Chu Tianxiong was killed by the Faceless Man that very night.

It can be seen that his fortune-telling skills are highly advanced.

Now, with the addition of a new ability to predict with his eyebrows, his fortune-telling is naturally more accurate.

He glanced at the burly man, and his eyebrow twitched. "You will have some bad luck in the ancestral land, but good fortune will come later."

Upon hearing this, the burly man's face remained dark. "Thanks for your kind words."

Qi Yuan looked at the other ancient gods present and glanced at them one by one.

His eyebrows were also twitching uncontrollably.

"You... are fine."

"You... will face a calamity." Qi Yuan pointed at the old man in a green robe.

The old man in the green robe had a gentle expression on his face, with a trace of disdain in his eyes. "Your divination... is reversed."

Qi Yuan's twin sister couldn't help but speak up at this moment. "Snake Elder is at the Late Stage of Treading Heaven, the strongest here. He is the most difficult among us to face calamity."

The rest of the people looked at Qi Yuan as if they were watching a joke.

They all knew the old man in the green robe and were aware of his formidable strength.

Qi Yuan smiled.

Wasn't it normal to be doubted?

"Not only did my eyebrows tell him that he will face bloodshed, but even my eyes also told me that he might perish." Qi Yuan lazily said, "Alas, you're beyond saving."

Qi Yuan only wanted to beat the old man in the green robe three times.

"Come on, continue." Qi Yuan's enthusiasm rose.

His eyes had long seen that there were some problems with the ancient gods here.

Now, before entering the ancestral land, he wanted to have some fun first.

"You... are fine."

"You... are fine."

"You're done for." Qi Yuan pointed at a short man.

The short man's face changed slightly, and he glanced at the old man in the green robe, snorting coldly.

"You're lucky, you have a great opportunity." Qi Yuan looked at Yan Xi, an ancient god. "But these three followers of yours won't do, they look like they're about to die."

The three followers behind Yan Xi heard this and their expressions changed.

But Qi Yuan ignored them and once again stated his judgment to the remaining people.

In the end, there were thirteen ancient gods and a total of five followers.

Among them, four ancient gods were pointed out to have calamities.

The same was true for the three followers.

After finishing the divination, Qi Yuan swept his gaze over the people present. "The second divination may not be accurate, so everyone must not take it seriously."

The ancient gods present had different expressions, some treated it as a joke, while others frowned as if they were contemplating something.

As for those ancient gods who were pointed out by Qi Yuan as being in danger, they seemed no different from the others on the surface.

But in reality, they felt a heavy sense of crisis in their hearts.

Qi Yuan's twin sister, lively by nature, smiled and said, "I'll give you a treasure, can you change the divination results for Snake Elder and the others?"

Qi Yuan replied with a meaningful tone, "Some people die, but in reality, they are still alive; some people are alive, but in fact, they are already dead."

The burly man grumbled, "Nonsense, let's go, let's enter the ancestral land first."

"Kid, if you can't protect your people, you can hand them over to me."

Qi Yuan shrugged, "I don't want my people to suffer with you."

"Let's go, let's enter the ancestral land first."

"Yes!"

The other ancient gods also discussed and prepared to enter the ancestral land.

At this time, Snake Elder, the short ancient god, and the other ancient gods who were pointed out were also communicating through voice transmission.

"What's wrong with that kid? He pointed us all out. Except for Yan Xi, who was coerced, could it be... he knows something?"

"This matter is really strange. We joined the new god, it's impossible to leak information. Could it be that the Supreme Arrogant has... abandoned us?"

"That kid is really strange. Maybe there are powerful beings hidden around him, targeting us."

"Targeting us, why would he expose us? To make us alert in advance?"

"Maybe it's to inform the other ancient gods to immediately take action against us when we enter the ancestral land!"

"Yes, it's not good to take action at the entrance, it would destroy this place. This is a signal to the others, to attack us together when we enter the ancestral land!"

"I think, after entering the ancestral land, we should just run."

These ancient gods were extremely wary.

The followers around Qi Yuan seemed to be ordinary people.

But who knew if there were powerful true gods deliberately hiding their aura among them.

Even Snake Elder couldn't see through it, at least they were true gods at the Third Stage of Treading Heaven.

"What should we do in this operation?"

"Operation? Run!"

I recommend a novel, there is a link below: "Devouring the Starry Sky". It's a urban high martial arts novel with a monster world view. If anyone is interested, you can take a look.
