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

Chapter 76: Don't be within 100 meters of the place of death

Qi Yue Town.

Jin Li turned around and saw a girl in green clothes.

The girl looked young, with a youthful appearance. Her long black hair was tied up in a high bun, with golden hairpins on the sides, resembling a fairy's bun.

She wasn't tall, but with the fairy bun on top of her head, she was almost 1.6 meters tall.

The girl in green clothes looked at Jin Li and spoke slowly, "I am the sacrificial priest of the Moon Emperor Kingdom, Qi Yue."

Jin Li was somewhat surprised.

She had come here quietly this time, but she didn't expect to be discovered.

"I have seen the sacrificial priest of Qi Yue," Jin Li said.

However, the next moment, the words of this girl priest made her heart skip a beat.

"Qing Luo is my younger sister."

A look of disbelief flashed through Jin Li's eyes.

Because Qing Luo was her mother's name.

Was the Qing Luo mentioned by this loli girl the same person she was thinking of?

"She is your mother and also the Saintess of our Moon Emperor Kingdom."

Jin Li looked at Qin Yi when she heard this.

Qin Yi didn't say anything, seemingly confirming it.

"I understand," Jin Li seemed to have no strong reaction.

"Your Majesty, would you like to come with me to the ancestral land of the Moon Emperor Clan?" Qi Yue, the sacrificial priest, extended an invitation.

"Sorry, I don't have time." Jin Li directly refused. She looked at the lake, feeling an inexplicable worry in her heart.

She couldn't contact Qi Yuan.

She didn't wait for Qi Yuan either.

"Your Majesty is waiting for someone?" Qi Yue, the sacrificial priest, said calmly.

Jin Li didn't say anything, which was considered an affirmation.

"The person of low grade hasn't arrived," Jin Li's excitement flashed for a moment and then disappeared instantly. She said coldly, "Do you know?"

"I don't know," Qi Yue, the sacrificial priest, shook her head. She looked up at the towering Ancient Forked Evergreen Tree. "In this world, there are too many unknowns and too many mysteries that cannot be solved."

Some are covered by history, washed away by time; some are simply without an audience, enjoying their own beauty.

However, when the Ancient Forked Evergreen Tree spreads to the moon, all the puzzles will be revealed."

After she finished speaking, without lowering her head, she continued to look at Jin Li. "It is rumored that the first bride princess waited for the heavenly god here but didn't wait; there was also a faceless sword god who waited here for someone, but the lover never arrived; there was also a guest from the heavens who stayed here for a long time but eventually disappeared.

Everything in the world has cause and effect, destined by fate, and no one can break it. Your Majesty, why be obsessed for a moment?"

Jin Li heard this and a stubborn look appeared on her cold face. "I don't believe in cause and effect, nor do I believe in destiny. If ten years are not enough, then a hundred years, if a hundred years are not enough, then a thousand years, ten thousand years!"

Her gaze was firm.

It's just temporary that they can't contact each other. They will meet one day.

"If I can't see you... sigh." Qi Yue sighed, "If Your Majesty can't wait for that person, why not go to the temple of the faceless sword god to take a look?"

After Qi Yue finished speaking, she walked away gracefully.

Jin Li's heart suddenly skipped a beat, inexplicably reminded of some of the contents of the second sentence Qi Yuan asked her to pass on from the bride's red armor.

She murmured, "Not seeing you... not seeing you..."

Suddenly, she looked at Qin Yi and asked, "Qin Yi, do you know the second forbidden place other than Tian Jue?"

Qin Yi shook her head, "I don't know."

"Is that so?" Jin Li inexplicably remembered that half a month ago, she sent the Qilin Guards to return from the Yiguan Forbidden Area.

In the Yiguan Forbidden Area, as usual, there were only some strange creatures living there.

There were no other strange creatures in the depths, nor were there any traces of battle.

She stood by the lake, looking at the shimmering water, her expression as cold as the moon.

...

Under the Ancient Forked Evergreen Tree.

Qi Yuan looked at the elegant girl in a long dress with a complicated expression. "Have you found Jin Li?"

The girl in the long dress shook her head, "No."

Qi Yuan looked at the girl in the long dress and hesitated for a moment. She moved her lips and her voice was somewhat hoarse, "Do you know Nan Qian Country?"

"I have no knowledge of it," Qi Yue, the sacrificial priest, shook her head.

Qi Yuan paused for a moment and asked again, "What about Nan Feng Country?"

"Then... what about the Heavenly Fate Sacred Gate?"

The Heavenly Fate Sacred Gate, the most powerful sect of the human race.

Qi Yuan didn't want to ask about this.

"I don't know," Qi Yue, the sacrificial priest, still shook her head.

"Well... I see." The annoyance on Qi Yuan's face dissipated, appearing unusually calm, or overly calm.

"The person you are looking for, our Moon Emperor Clan will do our best to find!" Qi Yue, the sacrificial priest, showed a sorry expression on her face.

"Okay." Qi Yuan didn't continue that topic and instead looked up at the Ancient Forked Evergreen Tree, looking at the eerie corpses on it. "What's going on here?"

"According to the Hundred Cities Alliance, the people on it are all disrespectful and obstructive to the filial piety law. The Hundred Cities Alliance wants to include our Moon Emperor Clan in it. Any mistakes will be punished by hanging on the Ancient Forked Evergreen Tree!"

Qi Yue said coldly, her eyes filled with anger. "This is against the will of heaven, like cutting off the roots of a pot."

Generally speaking, the next generation is the future of a nation and a race.

By doing so, it is feared that the human race on the Moon Continent will gradually decline.

"The Hundred City Alliance's promulgation of the Filial Piety Law has caused dissatisfaction among various countries, and they have all opposed it. Even within the Hundred City Alliance, there are many dissatisfied voices.

Countless strong individuals resist, and blood flows like a river."

The Qi Yue Sacrificial Priest of the Moon Imperial Clan said coldly.

In such a scene, the Hundred City Alliance should have collapsed.

But...

Qi Yue Sacrificial Priest said this with a gloomy expression on his face.

"The Black Robe Guards!"

When mentioning this term, Qi Yue Sacrificial Priest was obviously excited, and his body trembled slightly, as if he was very afraid.

Qi Yuan heard this term again.

The last time was outside the Kunwu City, when he heard this name.

"Are they strong?" Qi Yuan asked.

"They... are monsters, they are ghosts!" Qi Yue Sacrificial Priest seemed to think of something terrible, fear in his eyes.

"There aren't many of them, each one is wearing a black robe, and their faces can't be seen at all.

They don't eat or drink, they don't speak, they seem to have no emotions, all they do is kill!

Their strength... is too strong.

No one is their match, even the most powerful Martial Artist is as fragile as a little chicken in front of them.

They appear and blood flows like a river wherever they go!

Once, the Great Jing Empire threatened to send troops to the Hundred City Alliance!

As a result, the next day, the Great Jing Imperial City... was empty.

Seven hundred thousand people... all hanging by a thread!"

"They don't care about righteousness, they don't care about the future.

With the Black Robe Guards, they are unrestrained."

Qi Yuan remained silent.

He thought of the demons from beyond the domain.

Are the Black Robe Guards the work of the demons from beyond the domain?

How strong are the demons from beyond the domain?

Why do they rampage in the mortal world like this?

He didn't know.

"But even if the Black Robe Guards are strong, our Moon Imperial Clan will not surrender!

This world cannot be allowed to be manipulated by these monsters!

This is the Moon Continent, the birthplace and foundation of our Moon Imperial Clan!" Qi Yue's eyes regained confidence. "This world was originally called the White Sun Continent, but now it is called the Moon Continent!"

"White Sun?" Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat at the mention of this.

This was the first time he had heard of this matter.

Even among the memories of the Divine Domain powerhouses in the four forbidden areas, there was no such information.

And the term "White Sun" gave him some associations.

He thought of the Ascension Platform, and the words spoken by the golden-armored divine general... the reversal of the sun and moon.

"Are you a Supreme Emperor?" Qi Yue Sacrificial Priest asked, looking at Qi Yuan expectantly.

Originally, when she heard that a strange Supreme Emperor had come to the clan, she was prepared to meet him.

But after hearing the person's story and seeing the bodies of the people from the Hundred City Alliance, she changed her mind.

She came out directly to find him.

The other party is a Supreme Emperor, and not just an ordinary Supreme Emperor.

She hoped her guess was correct.

Facing Qi Yue Sacrificial Priest's question, Qi Yuan did not answer.

In the mortal world, he couldn't exert power beyond the Heavenly Domain, otherwise he would immediately face the demons from beyond the domain.

He still had many things he hadn't figured out, and he didn't want to go to the Land of Extinction immediately.

So for now, he could only display the strength of a Supreme Emperor.

But... after killing and killing on the Ascension Platform all this time, even if he only displayed the strength of a Supreme Emperor, he was still very afraid.

"Can you help our Moon Imperial Clan with a favor?" Qi Yue looked at Qi Yuan and stated her purpose for coming here.

Qi Yuan stood still and closed his eyes.

He didn't answer immediately.

He was recalling everything that happened after leaving the Opening Heaven Absolute.

All the events flashed before his eyes, one by one.

He saw the purgatory on earth, and he also saw the horrifying sight of countless corpses hanging from the Ancient Forked Evergreen Tree.

His emotions went through many ups and downs.

After all, he was also a normal person.

Just killing and killing for hundreds of years.

Suddenly receiving so much information, his mind was a bit confused.

He became a bit neurotic.

Now, close your eyes, and when you open them again, your gaze will become slightly clearer.

The confusion has also dissipated quite a bit.

He adjusts quickly.

He has become himself again, the normal him.

"I'm just playing a game, how can I be played by the game?" Qi Yuan's previous emotions disappeared from his face, and he muttered to himself.

The corpses above his head no longer feel as horrifying.

"You tell me." Qi Yuan looked at the woman in the long dress. Is this NPC going to give him a quest?

"Now, the Hundred Cities Alliance is coming aggressively, and they may annihilate our Moon Emperor clan. I hope you can protect the safety of our Saintess!" Qi Yue, the priestess, stated her purpose.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan was delighted.

He transformed into the strongest bodyguard, protecting the safety of the cool and beautiful school flower?

"You, Saintess, how old are you? Are you fair-skinned and beautiful? Do you have long legs? Are you an art student?" Qi Yuan casually asked.

Qi Yue, the priestess, was stunned.

A vacant expression flashed across her face.

She doubted whether the person behind the mask had changed.

What happened to the previous peerless swordsman with the aura of moonlit shadows?

But she quickly reacted and spoke with difficulty, "The Saintess just turned seven this year."

"Ah?" Qi Yuan was momentarily stunned. "Protecting a child, no problem. But...," he continued.

"If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. My Moon Emperor clan is willing to open the treasure vault for you to choose as you wish. Even if you like it, you can choose an unmarried woman from our Moon Emperor clan," Qi Yue, the priestess, said.

"No need for that, having the Saintess is enough," Qi Yuan casually said.

Qi Yue widened her eyes.

Qi Yuan quickly added, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not interested in those external things."

Qi Yue then calmed down, realizing that she had misunderstood.

"I hope..." Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment. He looked at the starry sky and then at the Ancient Forked Evergreen Tree. "You should establish a country called the Moon Emperor Dynasty. And I hope there is a town near Qi Yue Lake called Qi Yue Town, how about that?"

Qi Yue, the priestess, was a bit confused.

She didn't know what Qi Yuan meant.

However, she still sincerely said, "If we survive this disaster, even if only a few villagers are left, our Moon Emperor clan will establish the Moon Emperor Dynasty as you said!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan immediately smiled.

A village declaring itself an emperor, why does it feel so familiar?

"I have some more requests, I'll talk about them when I leave."

By the way, I will only protect your Saintess for 26 days."

"Okay," Qi Yue the priestess agreed. She thought of something and gritted her teeth, "If the Black Robe Guards appear, you can leave directly, don't worry about us and the Saintess."

Qi Yuan unexpectedly glanced at Qi Yue the priestess and said, "Alright."

The next day, a simple bamboo house was built by the lake where Qi Yue was.

Qi Yuan sat on the stone by the lake as usual.

I don't know what he's thinking or doing.

Qi Yue the priestess came again, holding a little girl's hand.

"Sir, she is our clan's Saintess, please take care of her."

Qi Yue the priestess let go of her hand, and the short little girl behind her secretly glanced at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan also looked at the little girl.

The little girl looked timid and shy, and the most attractive thing about her was her long eyelashes, fluttering like a fan. In her pupils, there seemed to be a crescent moon.

"What is her name?"

"You can call her Moon Maiden, sir."

"Moon Maiden?" Qi Yuan pondered.

Qi Yue the priestess handed the Saintess over to Qi Yuan and said, "Sir, during this time, I will be going on a long journey, please take care of her."

As she said that, Qi Yue the priestess took out a jade pendant from her pocket.

"This item is called Linglong Jade Tide. It is naturally paired, and ordinary people can communicate through this treasure. I will give one to you, and I will keep the other one."

"If there is an urgent matter, you can contact me through the Linglong Jade Tide."

Qi Yuan took the warm Linglong Jade Tide.

He found that it was somewhat similar to the communication jade slip from the Ash Water World.

He held the Linglong Jade Tide and tentatively sent a message, "Are you there?"

Qi Yue saw the message from the Linglong Jade Tide and looked at Qi Yuan, saying, "Yes, that's it."

After she finished speaking, she squatted down again and said to the Moon Maiden, "Moon Maiden, remember during this time, follow this senior, he will protect you, be obedient."

The Moon Maiden secretly glanced at Qi Yuan and nodded.

"Please, Your Excellency," Qi Yue bowed.

At this moment, Qi Yuan suddenly spoke up, "Why do you trust me so much?"

Qi Yue's face showed a devout expression, "Everything is guided by fate."

"Mumbling nonsense," Qi Yuan commented.

He didn't like communicating with charlatans, those who mumbled nonsense.

Qi Yue bid farewell to Qi Yuan and left Qi Yue Lake.

By the emerald green lakeside, only Qi Yuan and the Moon Imperial Clan's Saintess remained.

He glanced at the Moon Maiden, "Go play with mud over there, just don't leave my sight."

The little girl didn't react, she just sat next to Qi Yuan, gazing at the lake together.

One big, one small, quite artistic.

After an unknown amount of time, a cold wind blew.

Qi Yuan looked up at the sky, seeing the scattered stars.

"It's snowing."

"It seems I'll be fishing alone in the cold river of snow."

He glanced at the Saintess tightly holding onto his sleeve, "If you're cold, go back to the house."

The little girl's hand was red from the cold, she looked at Qi Yuan and obediently left.

"My enthusiasm is still not warm enough, freezing even a little girl," Qi Yuan thought.

He sat alone by the lake, the vastness of the world, only him.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yuan's shoulders were covered in accumulated snow.

Snow had also piled up on the branches by the lake, and with the wind, the snow fell gently.

The lake's surface seemed to have formed a thin layer of ice.

He sighed, "It's better to feel the cold wind, it makes my mind clearer."

The previous killings, the killing intent in his heart, had dissipated somewhat with the accumulated snow.

At this moment, a creaking sound came, and the little Moon Maiden opened the wooden door. She held a large bowl in her hands and walked steadily towards Qi Yuan.

The bowl was quite big, emitting a steaming aroma, filled to the brim with fish soup.

The little girl placed the fish soup in front of Qi Yuan, her star-like eyes looking at him.

"For me?" Qi Yuan sniffed the fish soup, "I didn't expect to come here and not eat crispy sweet duck, but instead drink a bowl of fish soup. It's worth it."

The little girl stood silently by the side, seemingly remembering Qi Yuan's words in her heart.

Qi Yuan picked up the fish soup, preparing to drink it all in one go.

Suddenly, he frowned and looked ahead, "The NPCs in this game really have no manners. Don't they know not to disturb players while they're eating?"

Not far away, seven figures slowly approached Qi Yuan.

They wore straw hats and stepped on the snow, leaving no traces.

On a distant tower, the girl Cold Moon saw this scene and her pupils contracted.

"Seven Emperors!"

Surprisingly, seven Emperors came at the same time, and judging by their strength, they were not ordinary Emperors.

At this moment, she felt anxious and worried for the Faceless Man.

The Moon Imperial Clan's experts were all out, not in the clan.

Could the Faceless Man stop those seven Emperors?

Meanwhile, the seven Emperors were less than a hundred meters away from Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan spoke again, "The spread speed of the smell of blood in the air is 50 centimeters per second. It will take me 200 seconds to finish this soup. You are now 100 meters away from me, dying here would be most appropriate."

Qi Yuan was just talking nonsense.

Upon hearing this, the seven individuals' eyes showed a murderous intent.

"You are too arrogant, Your Excellency!"

"I am Zhou Kang, the Iron Fist of the Hundred Cities Alliance. Your Excellency is a supreme Emperor, likely over fifty years old. Joining our Hundred Cities Alliance would allow you to enjoy your later years. Choosing to oppose our Hundred Cities Alliance is not wise."

Zhou Kang spoke, exuding a strong and vigorous aura.

The snowflakes fell on him and melted instantly.

The seven of them took a step forward simultaneously, approaching Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan glanced at them sideways, "You've crossed the line."

If they were 99 meters away from him and died there, the smell of blood would reach him, and his fish soup wouldn't taste good.

"I'll just move forward and see what you can do!"

Someone shouted.

Seeing that the NPC dared to defy him, a cold light flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes.

"Why are you all so useless? Even in death, you can't provide me with some experience?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in Qi Yuan's hand suddenly flew out, heading straight for the seven individuals.

Under the moonlight, in the snowy night, a sword light flashed.

The seven people stood still in their original positions, their eyes wide open, motionless.

Snowflakes fell on their shoulders, seemingly too heavy, causing all seven to fall to the ground.
