Golden Core is a Star, and You Call This Cultivation?

In the Liuchuan Demon Cave.

Several terrifying figures appeared, each exuding an extremely frightening aura.

They seemed to merge with the world, becoming one with the surroundings.

"A supreme being?" The Purple Taoist looked at Supreme Yu Bai's corpse, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"And a land mythology cultivator, huh. Such a small fry dared to come to our base and cause trouble, they're seeking death!"

The faces of the present supreme beings were grim.

Someone had infiltrated their base and assassinated one of their own supreme beings.

This reeked of danger and was a great humiliation.

Especially for the recently arrived Purple Taoist.

"Being able to kill Supreme Yu Bai, that southern supreme being has some skills," the Purple Taoist's eyes were deep as he stared at Yu Bai's corpse, lost in thought.

"After killing Supreme Yu Bai, this southern supreme being must have fled to Great Sadness City.

Soon, our army will march to Great Sadness City, and we will make those southern cultivators pay!" a supreme being said sternly.

However, another supreme being suddenly spoke up: "There is a disturbance at the Xingyuan Demon Cave, a supreme being is attacking!"

The Xingyuan Demon Cave was very close to the Liuchuan Demon Cave.

The present supreme beings were stunned.

"He didn't leave, and he dares to attack another demon cave?"

"Reckless! He doesn’t take us seriously!"

The supreme beings were furious.

After ambushing and killing a supreme being, he didn’t flee but continued causing havoc.

This showed utter disregard for them.

The Purple Taoist's eyes also flashed with murderous intent.

He tapped a stone tablet in his robe, and after confirming there was no danger, he declared loudly: "Everyone, come with me to the Xingyuan Demon Cave to kill this scoundrel!"

As a Grand Supreme, his words commanded immediate obedience from the others.

All the supreme beings set out for the Xingyuan Demon Cave.

At this moment, in the Xingyuan Demon Cave, Qi Yuan was in a frenzy.

Countless demons fell under his sword.

Under his powerful assault, no demon could withstand a single strike.

He was like a god of slaughter, cutting through the demon army.

Chen Huan watched in shock: "This is... insane."

He knew Qi Yuan was strong, a standout among land mythology cultivators, but he hadn't expected this level of power.

In terms of killing demons, Qi Yuan, even without using an origin divine ability, was faster than him!

And as a supreme being, origin divine abilities weren't used casually.

At this moment, Qi Yuan's voice reached him: "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!"

Chen Huan was stunned and then realized something: "Big brother, we should run!"

Having recently become a supreme being and killed one, Chen Huan felt like he was in a dream.

His mind was hazy.

Only now did he realize that if they stayed here killing, they’d be surrounded by northern supreme beings.

Qi Yuan swept his sword, slaying demons wherever the sword light passed.

His eyes were filled with intense killing intent.

The experience bar was skyrocketing.

He was very close to reaching level 120.

"The plan is ahead of schedule; we've entered the third phase. We can't retreat now. We need to strike while the iron is hot and complete the third phase. Once I reach supreme, I'll kill that old dog, the Purple Taoist!" Qi Yuan said fiercely.

The more demons he killed, the more the source of evil he extracted, and the more negative emotions he suppressed.

"Big brother, we should run. Even if we become supreme beings, we... we..."

Chen Huan was really anxious.

The Purple Taoist was a Grand Supreme cultivator.

The gap between a Grand Supreme and a regular supreme being was immense.

The Purple Taoist could stand there, and Chen Huan wouldn't be able to kill him no matter how hard he tried.

His big brother was mysterious but still too young.

He believed that given a thousand years to mature, his big brother would easily handle the Purple Taoist.

"Run? We can't. They're already here." Qi Yuan squinted his eyes, continuing his slaughter.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

He was only focused on killing, as if he wanted to tear through this world and crush the Liufeng Realm!

Chen Huan heard this and sensed several extremely powerful auras approaching.

Among them, one was obscure and deep.

A Grand Supreme! It must be the Purple Taoist!

Escape... was indeed impossible.

Chen Huan's face turned bitter, feeling doomed.

His great-great-great-granddaughter was about to be born, and he hadn't seen her yet.

His dozens of concubines might be missing him.

If he died here, the colorful world would no longer be his concern.

"Big brother, we're about to die. Can I ask you for one last request?" Chen Huan said weakly.

"Spit it out!" Qi Yuan snapped, too busy killing to care much for Chen Huan.

A sorrowful expression spread across Chen Huan's face. He said sincerely: "I've been alone all my life. Before I die, can I recognize you as my foster father?"

"Get lost!" Qi Yuan yelled.

His broken sword swept forward like a dragon, slaying hundreds of demons.

The aura of the supreme beings was approaching quickly.

A long-awaited notification sounded in Qi Yuan's ear.

[You have reached level 120, gaining an opportunity to comprehend the origin. Use it now?]

After nearly a century of killing demons in the Liufeng Realm, and adding one supreme being, Qi Yuan's experience bar had finally reached level 120.

Level 120 was a watershed moment.

Reaching it meant becoming a supreme being.

Now, Qi Yuan was considered a half-step supreme.

Because he didn't have his own origin divine ability.

"Comprehend." He wouldn’t miss the chance to gain the origin divine ability from leveling up.

This time, he would create the most powerful origin divine ability.

The scene froze.

When Qi Yuan opened his eyes again, he was back in the familiar Jiupan Mountain.

But... today's Jiupan Mountain was very different from what he remembered.

Overgrown with weeds and thorns, desolate and uninhabited.

The once bustling Jiupan Mountain was now like a deserted wilderness.

"How many years have passed?" Qi Yuan looked around, feeling a sense of melancholy.

A sense of loneliness filled his heart.

He looked up at the sky, his gaze suddenly becoming resolute: "I must become a Golden Immortal, a Sage of the Primordial World, and play with the river of time!"

Shaking off the loneliness, Qi Yuan scanned Jiupan Mountain with his divine sense.

Unfortunately, he found nothing familiar.

"Goldfinch... Gate of Myriad Variations..."

"It seems this time, I can't stay in Jiupan Mountain. I must travel the world myself."

He would comprehend the origin at the Gate of Myriad Variations.

Now at level 120, his strength should be enough to enter the Gate.

The closer he was to the Gate, the faster he could comprehend, and the more benefits he would gain.

Wearing a blood-red robe, Qi Yuan looked at the desolate Jiupan Mountain, feeling nostalgic: "Sometimes, it's quite boring without someone nagging in your ear."

He left Jiupan Mountain, heading down, his speed intentionally slow, like a newly initiated cultivator.

Within moments, several purple-robed human cultivators appeared, looking excited: "Blood Lord remnants, catch him!"

Five purple-robed cultivators charged at Qi Yuan. They were roughly at the hegemon level.

Qi Yuan looked at them, his expression cold: "What did you call me?"

The leader's eyes shifted, and he said to the others: "He doesn't seem to be a Blood Lord remnant."

If he were, he would have fled at the sight of them.

"Whether he is or not, he's a Blood Lord remnant if he's here. Catching him is just as rewarding!" said a purple-robed cultivator with a large mole on his face.

The five agreed, their faces turning vicious as they looked at Qi Yuan: "Brother, don't blame us, blame your bad luck!"

They charged at Qi Yuan, intent on capturing him.

At that moment, a long spear swept through, and a black-robed youth appeared. The spear pierced the chest of one purple-robed cultivator.

Several flying knives shot out, hitting the foreheads of the others.

The five purple-robed cultivators had no time to resist before being swiftly eliminated.

"Hmph, all members of the Purple Heaven Alliance deserve to die!" said the short-skirted girl with a high ponytail, full of heroic spirit. She had thrown the flying knives.

The black-clad youth with the spear stood beside her, saying to Qi Yuan: "Brother, these men were killed by my junior sister and me. You should leave quickly before more from the Purple Heaven Alliance arrive."

"Thank you for saving me." Qi Yuan looked at the two, puzzled, "May I ask, what is a Blood Lord remnant, and what is the Purple Heaven Alliance?"

"You don't know the Purple Heaven Alliance?" The short-skirted girl, Bai Luo, looked at Qi Yuan curiously.

"I have been cultivating in the mountains, unaware of worldly affairs," Qi Yuan replied.

The black-clad youth showed caution.

They had thought the blood-robed man was a low-level cultivator, hence they helped.

Now it seemed he was not simple.

The youth, Black Feather, said: "It's a long story. Why not come with us and talk as we go?"

Staying here might attract more from the Purple Heaven Alliance.

"Alright." Qi Yuan nodded.

The three left Jiupan Mountain quickly, talking as they went.

The youth was named Black Feather. He said: "The Purple Heaven Alliance was formed a few hundred years ago.

The leader, Purple Heaven Mystic Maiden, claims to be from the future."

"The future?" Qi Yuan was surprised.

He also came from the future.

If the Purple Heaven Mystic Maiden was from the future, she might pose a threat.

But he was a player; there was nothing to fear from an NPC.

"Three hundred years ago, the Blood Lord disappeared. His followers created the Blood Palace, continuing his teachings and spreading the Trapped Demon Art worldwide.

This should have been a great blessing! But then, Purple Heaven Mystic Maiden appeared, declaring that the Blood Lord was the root of all heart demons!" Black Feather clenched his spear.

The short-skirted girl, Bai Luo, was indignant: "That wretched Purple Heaven Mystic Maiden, she taints the Blood Lord's name to satisfy her ambition.

She claimed the Blood Lord was the reincarnation of a great demon, the source of all demons! Even more shamelessly, she said that the Blood Lord created the Trapped Demon Art out of guilt to benefit the world."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan thought it sounded like accusing someone of being guilty just because they acted to help.

"The Blood Lord as a great demon made the Blood Palace a demonic palace.

Purple Heaven Alliance cultivators targeted the Blood Palace.

And that old witch, Purple Heaven Mystic Maiden, took the Trapped Demon Art for herself, distributing it to other sects!" Bai Luo was furious.

Qi Yuan understood the situation.

The Purple Heaven Alliance coveted the Trapped Demon Art and claimed its credit.

So, they smeared him as a great demon.

"Are you two from the Blood Palace?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Yes." Black Feather hesitated but nodded.

"What is the state of the Blood Palace now?" Qi Yuan was concerned about Goldfinch, hoping she was safe.

"The Blood Palace is not doing well, confined to one region," Bai Luo said.

"Is there a goldfinch in the Blood Palace? How is she?" Qi Yuan asked, concerned.

Black Feather looked wary: "How do you know about the Goldfinch Senior? Are you a follower of the Blood Lord?"

Bai Luo's eyes widened: "Are you a disciple of the Blood Lord?"

Qi Yuan sighed in relief.

Seeing their reaction, Goldfinch was still around and presumably safe.

So, all was well.

"Is it possible... I am the Blood Lord?" Qi Yuan said.

Black Feather was stunned.

Bai Luo quickly said: "Sir, this is no joke."

"Oh?" Qi Yuan was surprised by their reaction.

Bai Luo explained: "Purple Heaven Mystic Maiden controls the narrative because she possesses a world treasure... the Fate Stone."

"Fate Stone?" Qi Yuan had never heard of it.

"When the Buddha was born, flowers bloomed, and snow fell in July.

A treasure, the Fate Stone, was born with the Buddha.

This stone is a world treasure, said to see the future and the past.

From the Fate Stone, Purple Heaven Mystic Maiden learned the Blood Lord was no longer in the world.

This gave her the boldness to target the Blood Palace.

With the Fate Stone, the Purple Heaven Alliance claimed the Blood Lord was a great demon!" Bai Luo was angry.

Black Feather added: "Creating the Trapped Demon Art exhausted the Blood Lord's energy. His death... was reasonable.

When the Fate Stone declared the Blood Lord dead, the Blood Palace held a grand funeral."

"I’m not dead, holding a funeral for me is too sudden," Qi Yuan said helplessly. "Where is Goldfinch?"

"Goldfinch Senior didn't attend the funeral. She was too grief-stricken and refused to believe the Blood Lord had died.

Now, Goldfinch Senior and the elders are at the world's end."

The world's end was far from Jiupan Mountain.

At the farthest edge of the Liufeng Realm.

"All these years, the Purple Heaven Alliance hunted Blood Palace cultivators. If not for Senior Shang Yanan's exceptional strength, able to rival Purple Heaven Mystic Maiden, the Blood Palace would have been destroyed.

Even so, the Blood Palace was forced to the world's end." Bai Luo's hatred for the Purple Heaven Alliance was palpable.

Black Feather added: "Three months ago, the Purple Heaven Alliance, with seven major sects, sent an army to the world's end to annihilate the Blood Palace."

Qi Yuan felt a chill: "Do you have a map I can see?"

"I have one." Bai Luo took out a wrinkled map.

Qi Yuan opened it. The map was simple but clear.

Jiupan Mountain was in the far north.

The Purple Heaven Alliance was in the central Liufeng Realm.

The world's end was in the far south.

Traveling from Jiupan Mountain to the world's end meant crossing the entire Liufeng Realm.

Straight through, passing the Purple Heaven Alliance.

"Thank you both." Understanding the situation, Qi Yuan decided it was time to leave.

"I’ll give you a small gift." Qi Yuan conjured a drop of blood-red liquid, splitting it in half and giving it to them.

His figure then vanished.

Black Feather and Bai Luo exchanged amazed glances.

"He’s definitely a master!"

"Could he be a guardian?"

They left Jiupan Mountain with questions.

Half an hour later, they returned to a small village.

An angry voice greeted them: "You two went out again!"

A short old man appeared, full of anger.

Seeing him, Black Feather and Bai Luo looked scared.

This old man was their master.

"Master, we didn’t cause trouble, we were doing good! Today, we saved someone from the Blood Palace from Purple Heaven Alliance cultivators!" Bai Luo boasted, sticking out her tongue.

Black Feather remained silent.

Hearing this, the old man calmed down a bit: "I've told you many times, don't go out. If the Purple Heaven Alliance finds out I'm here, you'll never see me again."

"Master, we know. You’re a big shot on the Purple Heaven Alliance’s wanted list, they value you highly!" Bai Luo flattered.

The old man shrugged: "The Purple Heaven Alliance has no taste. I was among the top hundred to hear the Blood Lord's teachings at Jiupan Mountain, yet they rank me 426th on the wanted list, ridiculous!"

Bai Luo smiled wryly.

Their master was good at everything, but he loved to brag.

Every now and then, he would recount his glorious past, claiming to be among the top hundred at the Blood Lord's teachings.

Afterward, he'd get paranoid, saying not to tell anyone, or the Purple Heaven Alliance would come for him.

Bai Luo teased: "Master, today we met a senior at the foot of Jiupan Mountain. He might have heard the Blood Lord’s teachings with you.

He seemed extraordinary, perhaps he ranked ahead of you."

Sure enough, the old man was indignant: "Impossible! Those who ranked ahead of me went to the world's end, no one else could be closer to the Blood Lord than me! This person must be an imposter! Tell me what he looks like, I'll expose him!"
