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

Qi Yuan transformed into a streak of light, heading deeper into the secret realm.

Suddenly, he froze.

In the distance, spiritual energy flowed like a stream, continuously cascading over a crystal coffin.

Vines from an unknown source swayed, seemingly slowly dragging the crystal coffin away.

Inside the crystal coffin lay a figure Qi Yuan was all too familiar with.

His Xiao Jia!

Upon seeing who was in the crystal coffin, Qi Yuan gripped his cleaver, channeling all his mana to its peak.

With one slash, the heavens trembled.

This slash was far more powerful than the Radiant Sword.

"Ugh." A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of Qi Yuan's mouth, but the vines remained unscathed, their pace of pulling the crystal coffin even accelerating.

Various emotions in Qi Yuan's eyes vanished, replaced by extreme calm.

For a moment, seeing his Little Bride, he was overjoyed, his mind momentarily chaotic.

Now, calming down, he murmured softly, "With you, Together as One!"

Indeed, he activated his skill.

As long as he and Xiao Jia were in the same space, no matter the distance, she would appear by his side.

Under Qi Yuan's gaze, the unbreakable vines suddenly snapped.

The crystal coffin opened, and a figure in a bright red wedding dress, seemingly with its own spirit, stepped on solidified spiritual energy.

All the vines frantically grew, tightly wrapping around and dragging his Little Bride, trying to take her away.

Yet, she steadily walked toward Qi Yuan.

Her footsteps made no sound but were powerful as if stepping on Qi Yuan's heart.

The vines snapped one by one.

The wedding dress seemed to waver.

"Stupid Little Bride" Qi Yuan softly called.

He gripped his cleaver, slashing at the vines with all his might.

The vines were unresponsive, but Qi Yuan kept hacking.

The Little Bride stumbled and faltered, hindered by the vines.

He knew the seemingly simple hundred steps were incredibly arduous for her.

As Qi Yuan continued slashing the vines, the Little Bride walked toward him step by step.

Blood dripped from his mouth, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on Qi Yuan's face.

"Your husband is still too weak."

After what felt like an eternity, she appeared by his side, overcoming endless obstacles.

Instantly, blood-red armor covered Qi Yuan's body.

Standing nearly a hundred meters tall, he was clad in blood-red spikes, resembling a gentle grim reaper.

The fusion state ended quickly, the Little Bride transforming into a thin wedding dress that fell, and Qi Yuan held her familiar cold waist.

He looked at his unconscious Little Bride, a smile involuntarily forming on his lips.

Holding her tightly, he seemed to embody the meaning of the token's inscription.

He whispered softly, "I thought I might not see you again, or that by the time I did, years would have passed, and everything would have changed."

"The Civil Affairs Bureau is closed, the divorce cooling-off period is over, and I still haven't seen you, so this marriage can't be divorced."

"People say happiness that comes easily is not cherished, but I feel that while unattainable desires can be longed for, having you within reach is more real." ṞἁꞐÔ𐌱ΕŜ

"For me, it's only been a few months without seeing you, but for you, how long has it been since you last saw me?"

When he woke up on Moon watching Continent, it was empty beside him.

He didn't see his Little Bride, and the "Together as One" skill didn't activate.

He thought he might have to wait until he reached the Yin God realm, able to travel through the void and explore various realms, before seeing his Little Bride again.

Unexpectedly, he saw her now.

It was easy to see her, without any thrilling moments, just simple, and Qi Yuan was especially happy.

This simple joy was like the first ray of sunlight in the morning, easy to grasp.

He held his Little Bride, watching her sleep, silently.

【The sleeping bride princess, she is the wife you married in grand ceremony. She might wake up anytime, or perhaps she's waiting for your call to wake up.】

The information his eyes provided was more detailed this time.

"She will wake up." Qi Yuan held his Little Bride, lost in thought.

Suddenly, he muttered to himself, "I'm doomed. After being single for so long, even a wedding dress looks pretty to me."

He dressed his Little Bride in one of his outfits.

After all, someone had seen the creature in the crystal coffin within the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm.

He didn't want to expose his Little Bride.

"Dressing a wedding dress is quite amusing."

He glanced at the crystal coffin, then carried his sleeping Little Bride away.

......

"The Land of the Sunken Coffin!" Kang Fulou and Elder Li Xiao stood by the River of Lost Souls, both looking helpless.

"The River of Lost Souls, without the proper method, even a Nascent Soul can fall into it!" Elder Li Xiao was extremely anxious.

He stayed to find Qi Yuan and take him away, and also to see if he could thwart the old emperor's plot.

Otherwise, if the old emperor succeeded, the Divine Light Sect would be in grave danger.

He had grown up in the sect, viewing it as home, just like the sect master.

The two stood by the River of Lost Souls, anxious but helpless.

"Qi Yuan should be blocked by this river as well. If he's safe, that's a relief."

"But where is he?"

They stood by the river, pondering ways to cross.

Meanwhile, they used spells to send several paper cranes to search for Qi Yuan.

After a long time, a streak of light appeared in the sky.

Elder Li Xiao squinted, "Someone's coming!"

An enemy?

"It's Qi Yuan?" Kang Fulou's white hair had two new black strands.

Elder Li Xiao was shocked, "He came out from inside?"

He had no idea how Qi Yuan got inside.

In a breath, they saw Qi Yuan crossing the River of Lost Souls, landing beside them.

Elder Li Xiao squinted, Qi Yuan really crossed the River of Lost Souls.

He urgently asked, "Qi Yuan, you came out from inside. Did you encounter any danger? Did you meet the old emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom?"

Kang Fulou's gaze fell on the special being in Qi Yuan's arms.

The special being was dressed in ill-fitting clothes, looking odd.

He showed a thoughtful expression.

Qi Yuan, looking at Elder Li Xiao, quickly understood why he was here. He smiled, "It's very safe inside. I didn't encounter any danger, and I even found my... wife."

Hearing the last two words, Elder Li Xiao and Kang Fulou were stunned.

The first disciple of Seven-Colored Peak was really offbeat, calling everyone his wife.

In Blue Star's language, it would be... shrimp head boy.

"Good to hear." Elder Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Qi Yuan must have been lucky not to meet the old emperor in the Land of the Sunken Coffin.

Otherwise, with the old emperor and those Red Demon Golden Core cultivators, Qi Yuan, a newly established Foundation Establishment, would surely have died.

"Qi Yuan, you don't know what a major event happened outside. The old emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom faked his death, secretly coming from the first Celestial Dragon Secret Realm to here..." Elder Li Xiao explained the situation outside to Qi Yuan, full of worry. "If he controls the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm, our Divine Light Sect will face a great catastrophe."

"Qi Yuan, you and Kang Fulou leave first. I'll stay here and see if I can thwart the old emperor's plot!

But first, tell me how to cross the River of Lost Souls!" Elder Li Xiao was prepared to sacrifice himself.

Qi Yuan, hearing this, softly said, "Elder Li Xiao, there's no need to go in. The old emperor is already dead."

"Huh?" Elder Li Xiao was puzzled.

Kang Fulou was also confused, not understanding what Qi Yuan meant.

Qi Yuan opened his palm.

Over a hundred blood-stained Soul Thought Flowers floated in his hand, including a main Soul Thought Flower.

Qi Yuan's casual voice sounded.

"I needed the Soul Thought Flowers, they wanted to kill me, so I killed them all."

"I need to go. My wife is sleeping uncomfortably; she needs a bed. Goodbye, Elder, Senior Brother."

With that, Qi Yuan turned into a streak of light and disappeared.

Elder Li Xiao and Kang Fulou stood there, looking at each other, speechless.

After a long time, Elder Li Xiao spoke, "Did I hear wrong?"

"No," Kang Fulou said with difficulty.

"Blood-stained Soul Thought Flowers..." Elder Li Xiao could imagine the terrifying battle that took place.

According to the sect master and the Frenzy Sword True Lord's judgment, there were at least a hundred Red Demon Golden Cores and the old emperor comparable to a Nascent Soul in the Land of the Sunken Coffin.

How did Qi Yuan do it?

......

At Seven-Colored Peak, Qi Yuan landed in front of his wooden house, holding his Little Bride.

Not far away, Jiang Lingsu saw Qi Yuan and the Little Bride in his arms, puzzled. "Senior Brother, weren't you participating in the Dragon Seizing Contest? Why are you back?"

"The Dragon Seizing Contest is over. Most likely, Dongxian will become emperor."

From Breaking Wolf, he found many precious treasures obtained in the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm.

He gave all these treasures to Dongxian.

Without surprise, Dongxian would become the emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom.

This made Qi Yuan happy.

He sent away Dongxian, the "suspected calamity star" and "protagonist fate," making his life much better.

"It's over so soon?" Jiang Lingsu was surprised, thinking of something, she asked, "Senior Brother, did you meet Breaking Wolf?"

Before he left, she reminded him to avoid fighting Breaking Wolf if possible.

She knew her senior brother had the potential of a prodigy.

But compared to the late Foundation Establishment, who was also a prodigy, Breaking Wolf was far superior.

"Met him, killed him," Qi Yuan said casually. "No more chatting, my wife is sleeping, she needs a blanket."

??

"Who is she?" Jiang Lingsu couldn't keep up.

"My wife!" Qi Yuan said proudly, returning to his wooden house.

Leaving Jiang Lingsu alone in confusion.

What did she hear?

Senior Brother killed Breaking Wolf?

And brought back a wife?

Both things didn't sound credible.

Meanwhile, in the wooden house, Qi Yuan showed relief.

"Good thing I replaced the thatched house with a wooden one, or my wife would think I'm incompetent seeing the thatched house."

He placed his Little Bride on the bed, watching her sleep, holding her sleeve.

As night fell, Qi Yuan watched his Little Bride, meditating.

Suddenly, he thought of something, opened the Divine Flower Sect's jade slip, and entered the chat group, the Divine Flower Four Royals Exchange.

"Everyone, I recently discovered a great secret!"

"What secret?" Rogue Immortal Venerable seemed always online, responding first.

"Playing some tunes from a music jade slip during battle to set the mood can significantly boost your strength and make fights more passionate."

Generous as ever, Qi Yuan shared his battle experience with the group.

"Really?" Rogue Immortal Venerable was puzzled, playing music to enhance combat strength.

At that moment, the usually silent Ice Queen spoke, "Wow, Origin Heavenly Venerable, you're a genius, so creative. Why didn't I think of playing tunes during battle? It's so classy!"

The Great Sun Flame Emperor also joined, seemingly admiring Qi Yuan. "Creating the 'shocking style' already impressed me. I didn't expect you to be such a talent, creating battle music. Brilliant idea!"

Rogue Immortal Venerable felt strange.

Playing music during battle, really classy?

Isn't it awkward?

But everyone praised it, so he couldn't disagree.

He asked, "Origin Heavenly Venerable, is it really effective?"

"Of course, it is. I, a mere village-level Foundation Establishment, played music and flicked Breaking Wolf to death."

"Wait, what did you say?" Rogue Immortal Venerable was stunned, "You killed Breaking Wolf?"

Breaking Wolf was in the top seven hundred of the East Land's Heaven's Pride List.

Rogue Immortal Venerable looked up to him.

Killed by Origin Heavenly Venerable?

He couldn't believe it, thinking it was a joke.

Origin Heavenly Venerable came from a small place, how could he be that strong.

At that moment, the Great Sun Flame Emperor spoke, "Origin Heavenly Venerable, you really killed Breaking Wolf, even uploaded the advanced version of the 'Radiant Sword.'"

Rogue Immortal Venerable was shocked, checked, and was even more surprised.

He quickly mimicked the earlier words of Origin Heavenly Venerable.

"Bow to the great master!"

Three more "bow to the great master" appeared in the group.

Qi Yuan also bowed to himself.

Seeing the group's praise, Qi Yuan felt elated.

"Sigh, Breaking Wolf is nothing.

At that time, I faced a hundred Golden Cores, two hundred late Foundation Establishments, wielding a cleaver, slashing from the ground to the sky.

I played just five songs, and they were gone."

Rogue Immortal Venerable felt insecure.

Is it true?

Am I the only fake master in the group?

"Finally, facing a Nascent Soul old monster, I wielded my cleaver, killing him in one strike!"

Rogue Immortal Venerable: "..."

The Great Sun Flame Emperor was also stunned.

Could it be that Origin Heavenly Venerable is a great master in disguise as a Foundation Establishment?

Killing Golden Cores like dogs!

"Actually, it's nothing compared to killing three thousand extraterrestrial demons. That Nascent Soul was trash!

Unfortunately, I didn't play music when killing three thousand extraterrestrial demons, or it wouldn't have ended like that." Qi Yuan spoke eloquently.

But he thought of something and asked in the group.

"Does anyone have a recipe for Soul-Splitting Pills? I urgently need it."

"I have it, I'll copy it to the exchange." Ice Queen spoke, "Origin Heavenly Venerable, next time, take me to kill extraterrestrial demons. I want to be as classy as you when killing!"

"No problem, thank you, Ice Queen Sister!" Qi Yuan was very grateful.

He didn't expect a casual question to get the answer he wanted.

Soon, the recipe for Soul-Splitting Pills appeared before Qi Yuan.

"Ice Queen Sister, I can't refine pills. Can I ask a pill refiner to help?"

Since the recipe belonged to Ice Queen, leaking it was inappropriate.

"Soul-Splitting Pills aren't precious, the main herb is. This recipe is common in larger forces, feel free to show others."

"Thanks!" Qi Yuan was very grateful, "I happen to be good at modifying techniques. I'll modify the recipe and upload it to the group."

He couldn't repay the favor, so he offered to modify the recipe.

On the other side, Ice Queen said, "Thank you, Heavenly Venerable."

Earlier, Origin Heavenly Venerable claimed not to know alchemy, now saying he'd modify the recipe. She didn't believe it but didn't expose him.

Qi Yuan went offline, studying the recipe.

Soon, a new recipe was ready.

Qi Yuan, exhausted, his mind drained.

He uploaded the recipe, looked at the night sky, took a bath, and prepared to sleep, holding his Little Bride.

Too tired, he'd find someone to refine the pills tomorrow.

At that moment, a voice entered his ear.

"Husband, your cute little wife is now a supreme being. When will we meet?"

Flowwind Realm.

Once Ning Tao had become a dominant force, with several supremes under her command.

Her courage grew.

She wanted to see who had whispered in her ear all those years ago, calling her husband.

But after searching for years, she couldn't find him.

"Don't want to meet!" Qi Yuan quickly replied.

His first blind date left too much psychological trauma.

No more blind dates.

Flowwind Realm.

A woman in a black dress, her long legs stretched out, reclined on a throne.

Hearing Qi Yuan's voice, her usually calm eyes showed a hint of a smile.

"Husband, are you afraid of me, not daring to meet me?"

She waited quietly.

But as always, there was no response.

The woman in the black dress looked at the sky, her eyes showing complex emotions.

Meanwhile, in Canglan Realm, in his wooden house, Qi Yuan held his Little Bride tightly. Moonlight streamed through the cracks, casting a gentle glow on the two.
