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

Chapter 68: Qi Yuan: I am the moral high ground!

Qi Yuan thought this way as he looked at the Divine Light Gate Guardian.

[The Divine Light Ascension Guardian, when killed on the Divine Light Ascension Platform, grants control over the Heavenly Absolute Palm.]

It seems that this NPC is not lying.

"Alright, I accept the challenge!" Qi Yuan said firmly, holding onto Xiao Jia.

He had to bring Xiao Jia with him, otherwise she would stumble and fall again.

Last time, when he fought against Zang Hua, he didn't bring Xiao Jia along. When he finally saw her, she had probably stumbled and fallen several times, covered in dust and dirt, looking pitiful and making people feel sorry for her.

The Golden Armor Guardian looked at Qi Yuan and spoke loudly, "Let the battle begin, death is endless!"

With this voice, Qi Yuan saw a staircase appear on the Ascension Platform.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As if the footsteps of a giant beast shaking the ground, the staircase continued to extend from the sky to the ground.

After about fifteen minutes, the stairs reached Qi Yuan's feet one by one.

From the sky to the ground, a complete Heavenly Rank staircase appeared.

Looking at the number, it coincided with 129,600.

"Climb the stairs, the battle begins, the winner will ascend one step." The man in the golden armor explained the rules.

Qi Yuan didn't climb immediately, instead he asked, "Can I take a break halfway?"

"After winning a battle, you can descend the stairs, but you cannot stay in the outside world for more than one day, otherwise you will be forcibly summoned!

Note that one year on the stairs is equivalent to one day in the outside world."

"Oh, that's fine then," Qi Yuan said confidently.

He looked at Xiao Jia with a smile on his face, "This time, I will fight side by side with you."

He added in his heart.

And fight alongside the Five Elements Forbidden Land and the Yin Yang Forbidden Land.

These 129,600 battles would be the perfect opportunity to hone his combat experience and refine the insights gained from the battles with the 84 people.

Qi Yuan gained a lot of insights from his battle with Zang Hua.

And ascending the Divine Light Ascension Platform was a great opportunity.

He should be able to gain the combat experience he lacked through these battles, right?

Moreover, after experiencing so many battles and killing so many monsters, he should also gain a lot of experience, right?

With this sentiment, Qi Yuan stepped onto the first step.

His field of vision instantly changed.

It seemed as if he was standing on the Divine Light Ascension Platform.

Qi Yuan scanned his surroundings.

He found that where he was now seemed like an arena.

There were tens of thousands of seats around the arena.

The seats were hierarchical, some were High Level, some were ordinary.

It seemed that in the past, people used to watch duels in this arena!

But now, it was empty, without any spectators.

This made Qi Yuan, who had social anxiety, feel relieved.

"It's a good thing no one is watching, otherwise it would be embarrassing."

At this moment, the sound of a huge heartbeat echoed.

Qi Yuan saw a bare-chested, burly man, like a sumo wrestler from a prosperous country, charging towards him.

He wasn't a living being, but a phantom, or... a monster that could provide experience!

"Xiao Jia!"

Qi Yuan and Xiao Jia integrated their bodies.

At this moment, he closed his eyes.

At this moment, he was no longer himself, he was Long Pan.

Insights naturally come from the strong.

Long Pan's memories and combat experience flowed into Qi Yuan's mind like a spring.

Now, he had forgotten his own moves.

He regarded himself as Long Pan.

If he were Long Pan, how would he face this enemy?

Then, Qi Yuan moved.

He turned around, facing away from the burly man.

Then he reached back and grabbed the man's neck.

He threw him down.

Bang!

The burly man fell to the ground.

Blood splattered, staining the arena red.

Qi Yuan won this battle.

Qi Yuan opened his eyes and reflected on the gains and losses of this battle.

"Why did I fight with my back turned?"

"To turn my back on the world?"

"It's quite impressive."

"Oh, no, it's his face that turned red!"

Qi Yuan suddenly realized the key.

With the first victory, the second battle began.

Qi Yuan lifted his foot and seemed to step onto the second step.

The enemy appeared again, this time it was a fierce beast in the shape of a crocodile.

Qi Yuan closed his eyes again.

...

Seven days later, Qi Yuan logged out of the game.

He went out for a walk and when he saw Jiang Lingsu, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Junior Sister, you're green."

At this moment, Jiang Lingsu was wearing a green dress, with lush green leaves on her head.

Her hair had become a noodle-like hairstyle, but all of it was made up of green leaves.

Lush and vibrant.

Qi Yuan even saw little sparrows in her lush and vibrant green leaves.

Jiang Lingsu glared at Qi Yuan fiercely, "You're the one who's green. This is the essence of the Wood attribute, a good thing!"

Today, the Divine Light Sect was once again shaken!

Because many cultivators' heads and other parts of their bodies started sprouting green buds and leaves.

At the beginning, there was chaos in the sect, and some people thought that someone had plotted against them using dark methods.

But then the sect leader came forward and announced that there might be a precious wood-element treasure in the world, which is why such a scene had occurred.

After that, the Divine Light Sect calmed down.

Many people were searching for the wood-element treasure, and many people discovered that the leaves and grass growing on their heads and other parts of their bodies were wood-element essence, which was very useful for cultivation.

As a result, many people harvested the wood-element essence to sell, while some cultivators absorbed it themselves.

Among them, the wood-element essence that grew on the bodies of beautiful female cultivators sold for sky-high prices and was especially popular.

This made Qi Yuan extremely jealous.

Clearly, he had created the wood-element essence, but it ended up growing on others' bodies, allowing others to profit greatly.

He even thought about secretly knocking those people out and scraping off their hair and wood-element essence.

But when he thought about it, he realized that he was just jealous and still had some principles.

He couldn't bring himself to do it.

Otherwise, he would end up creating a bunch of monks and nuns like Azure Dragon White Tiger.

Could the sect still tolerate that?

"Sister, can you give me some of the wood-element essence on your body?" Qi Yuan looked at his junior sister and asked tentatively.

Jiang Lingsu immediately blushed and said, "No."

"Sister, I see many people selling it outside..." Qi Yuan hadn't finished speaking when Jiang Lingsu interrupted him.

"Get lost!"

This wood-element essence was connected to her body to some extent and could be considered an extension of her body. How could she give it to someone else, especially a man?

However, she glanced at Qi Yuan and a deep sense of doubt flashed in her eyes. "Senior brother, your recent scent of blood is quite strong."

"Huh?" Qi Yuan remembered that in the game, he had gone through the White Day Ascension Platform and killed countless creatures.

Because each level was not just one enemy, but possibly a group of enemies.

Could it be that the killing intent and scent of blood from the game also carried over into reality?

"Is it very strong?" Qi Yuan asked nervously.

Jiang Lingsu nodded. "If you weren't always hiding on Seven Colour Peak, I would even suspect that you secretly went out one day and wiped out an entire family."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's eyes turned red. "How dare you falsely accuse me! I didn't wipe out Black Mountain Sect!"

Jiang Lingsu laughed. "Who knows? Maybe you secretly went out and used your kitchen knife to kill everyone in Black Mountain Sect."

Qi Yuan's gaze instantly turned cold. "Junior sister, you know too much!"

For some reason, Jiang Lingsu felt a chill in her heart.

She looked at Qi Yuan and felt a hint of fear. She continued, "Senior brother, I don't know why you have such a strong killing intent on you.

But it's best if you dissipate or hide this killing intent.

Otherwise, it won't be beneficial for your cultivation and may give rise to inner demons.

More importantly, if you encounter some eccentric high-level cultivators, they might take it upon themselves to eliminate you."

Thinking of something, a trace of fear and resistance flashed deep in Jiang Lingsu's heart.

She was familiar with those kinds of cultivators.

Those cultivators belonged to the same organization.

The people in the organization were jealous of evil and had a bad reputation.

They called themselves agents of justice, but their actions were extremely domineering.

There was once a cultivator who wiped out a bandit stronghold, but then encountered someone from that organization who killed him because his scent of blood was too strong.

Anyway, they defined what was righteous as righteous.

If they said someone had killed too much, regardless of the reason, that person deserved to die.

"What? There are people like this who want to exorcise and eliminate demons?" Qi Yuan couldn't stand steady when he heard this.

Jiang Lingsu was speechless.

She couldn't understand how their senior brother, who had such a problem with his brain, could have such a strong smell of blood on him.

Could it be that playing games too much could also affect reality?

"There really are people like this, and there's more than one. It's an organization."

"What about it, senior brother? Are you going to go and wipe them out?"

"They're not as weak as the Black Mountain Sect. Even the strong ones in the Nascent Soul stage are in double digits," Jiang Lingsu smiled.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan sat on the ground in a daze and said, "I'm useless, too weak and helpless. I can't even kill these despicable people overnight and wipe them out."

But then, Qi Yuan thought of something and said, "Such despicable people, I should unite with the righteous cultivators and eliminate them!"

Jiang Lingsu was already used to their senior brother's peculiar way of thinking, so she happily played along, "The righteous cultivators won't do. They represent justice, but they often do evil things in the name of justice."

"Do things from a moral high ground?" Qi Yuan asked.

Jiang Lingsu pondered and understood what Qi Yuan meant, "Yes."

"Despicable, they're learning from me. Only I can grasp the moral high ground! Hmph, those who imitate me will live, those who resemble me will die. If I weren't the leader of this organization, they would be finished! Even if I become the leader, I will expel those evil ones and rebels from the sect!"

Expel them from the sect?

Jiang Lingsu was stunned, "Senior brother, you're really ruthless!"

"By the way, what's the name of this organization?"

"Radiant Palace."

"Radiant Palace? Why don't they call themselves Radiant Society?" Qi Yuan muttered, then said, "I've remembered them. Don't let me encounter them, or they'll have a taste of their own medicine."

But after saying that, Qi Yuan thought of something and became worried. He lowered his voice and leaned close to Jiang Lingsu's ear, which was covered in dense hair, and said, "Junior sister, their sect doesn't have an Innate Saint, right? Someone who can sense when I mentioned them just now."

"No."

Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good.

But he still wasn't at ease, "They won't suddenly come to Seven Colour Peak, will they?"

"They won't." Jiang Lingsu felt that she shouldn't tell senior brother, as it would scare him.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan felt reassured, "Ah, you're right. I need to get rid of the smell of blood on me."

However, Jiang Lingsu said softly, "But I heard that someone from the Radiant Palace has come to the Great Shang and seems to be getting involved in the battle for the dragon."

"What?" Qi Yuan was shocked.

"It's fine, their strength is not strong, only at the Foundation Building stage."

"No one else has come?"

"No."

That night, Qi Yuan returned to his room and didn't sleep well all night.

However, he remembered that he hadn't finished the game yet, so he decided to temporarily put this matter aside.

After all, he stayed on Seven Colour Peak every day, so how could he coincidentally encounter trouble?

Besides, he had no grudges or grievances with the Radiant Palace. He had never even seen them before. He cared about his reputation and didn't want to stand on a moral high ground.

It was different for the Black Mountain Sect.

I recommend a novel. If you're interested, you can take a look. There's a link below that you can directly jump to and bookmark. "Gao Wu: My Avatar Evolves into Immortality."

Recommendation: In the world of cultivation, obtaining a water snake avatar and evolving it into an immortal dragon.
