Chapter 138: It's Not the Sun, It's My Golden Core

Chapter 138: It's Not the Sun, It's My Golden Core

In the Wave Surge Realm, countless eyes gazed up at the sky.

In the vast expanse of the Great Sun, a tiny Mini Sun appeared, seemingly insignificant compared to the Great Sun.

However, anyone who saw this Mini Sun revealed shock in their eyes.

"There's an extra sun in the sky!"

"What's happening? What kind of phenomenon is this?"

"This is no illusion; it's real!"

In the Northern Ice Plains, a slumbering Ice Dragon opened its eyes, its blue irises glancing at the sun above, "Have I slept too much and am now hallucinating?"

It rolled over and continued its slumber.

In the Eastern Sacred Land, a woman bathed in radiance looked up, disbelief in her eyes, "Which one is this... illuminating the heavens..."

Wherever stars appeared, a new Supreme Being was sure to emerge.

In the Central Sky Domain, a man in a white robe was fishing when his hand suddenly trembled, causing his fishing rod to snap.

He gazed at the new sun, his face filled with deep concern.

"There cannot be two suns in the sky; an Immortal Deity must be challenging the other's position!"

"It's a Troubled Autumn, a Troubled Autumn indeed. I hope it doesn't affect us, and we don't have much time left. If we don't leave soon, we'll be like fish in troubled waters!"

Countless eyes stared at the extra sun in awe and amazement.

At that moment, in the Divine Light Sect.

Various Peak Leaders gathered, including Dry Wood True Monarch.

Everyone's attention was on the sun above.

"How did an extra sun suddenly appear?"

"It's baffling."

"There must be great terror behind this!"

"This sun shouldn't be stared at for long; cultivators who do so will suffer memory loss."

"What? Is that even possible?"

The cultivators in the sect were discussing the extra sun with great enthusiasm.

Then, the voice of the sect leader, Dry Wood True Monarch, rang out, "What's the point of discussing the sun? Will it affect your cultivation? Will it help you break through your realm?

I've called you here to discuss the Hundred Nations Blood Battle and the matters of Bright Palace."

Hearing this, the Peak Leaders fell silent and stopped talking about the sun.

An extra sun in the sky didn't mean meals should be skipped.

Such matters weren't for small cultivators like them to consider.

What they should focus on was their own survival.

"Kang Fulu has entered the Golden Core stage, and Qi Yuan is the disciple of the Seven Color Peak's Peak Lord. We, the Divine Light Sect, must not hand them over!"

"Right! Bright Palace is too overbearing, initiating the Hundred Nations Blood Battle. Do they have no morals left?"

"Alas, it seems the situation is set in stone. Without powerful cultivators, we Hundred Nations can't take the lead!"

The crowd felt dejected.

Weakness was a sin in itself.

Bright Palace, a force that dominated a hundred nations and thousands of sects, couldn't be countered.

They were at the mercy of Bright Palace, becoming pawns in the Hundred Nations Blood Battle.

And Great Shang suffered the most, becoming the demonic path's camp in the Hundred Nations Blood Battle.

All cultivators were allowed to use any means necessary against the demonic path's forces.

Perhaps some powers around the Hundred Nations were already preparing to take advantage of the chaos, invade Great Shang, and plunder its resources.

This was a significant threat to Great Shang.

All powers in Great Shang were affected.

Now, Great Shang was in turmoil, and many Loose Cultivators were preparing to migrate, leaving this land of war.

"The Hundred Nations couldn't even find a Purple Mansion Powerhouse to stand against Bright Palace.

Kang Fulu and Qi Yuan are talented, but they need time to grow. Even if Kang Fulu reached the Divine Infant stage and Qi Yuan the Golden Core stage now, it would be useless." An elder spoke with helplessness.

The Hundred Nations were too weak; they didn't even have a single Purple Mansion Powerhouse.

Even if they did, it probably wouldn't change the outcome.

Bright Palace had dozens of Purple Mansion Realm cultivators.

They were undoubtedly the undisputed overlords of the Eastern Green Cloud Continent.

Of course, these elders didn't know about Bright Palace's Imperial Thunder Dragon Crown, a Yin Spirit Artifact in a damaged state.

Otherwise, they would have felt even more despair.

Even a damaged Yin Spirit Artifact could easily erase Great Shang from the Hundred Nations.

Not even a Purple Mansion Powerhouse could withstand such power.

"I received news from Heaven Soaring Pavilion that a Blood Robe Sword God from the Divine Flower Society is from our Hundred Nations.

Bright Palace humiliated him and forced his daughter to live in a dog's den. It seems there's a conflict between them, and we hope this can slow down Bright Palace's offensive."

"Bright Palace is truly despicable, claiming to be the righteous path of the Green Cloud Continent yet acting so unreasonably! As the saying goes, 'Disaster doesn't extend to one's wife and children.' Forcing a man's child to live in a dog's den is utterly despicable!"

"Alas, we all know they're despicable, but what can we do?"

"Blood Robe Sword God's strength is probably at the late Divine Infant stage, but he's no match for Bright Palace."

The crowd discussed with worried faces.

Facing Bright Palace, they were too weak.

At that moment, on the Seven Color Peak.

Qi Yuan looked at his reflection in the mirror, feeling a bit melancholy.

"Bai Ze, Foolish Daoist, Nan Gong Dog, Chen Huan, Zhang Wei..."

He recalled the names he needed to remember from the Stream Wind World game.

For the rest of the unnecessary memories, he used the Great Forget Dharma, briefly forgetting them.

"Finally, I've become a Primordial Core True Man."

"This time... I thought my mouth had awakened a special ability, but it turned out to be my eyebrows."

After reaching the Refining Qi stage, his eyes could see hidden information.

After the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, his ears could hear strange sounds.

And once he formed a Golden Core, he gained another ability—predicting misfortune and fortune through his eyebrows.

When his left eyebrow twitched, good things would happen.

When his right eyebrow twitched, disaster would strike.

Yes, it was the eyebrows, not the eyes.

This ability was indeed remarkable.

As he pondered the future of entering the game, he knew he would be able to tell whether to challenge a boss or not just by raising his eyebrows.

This was truly a divine artifact.

He left his wooden cabin, sighing, "Now that I've reached the Primordial Core True Man stage, living in a wooden cabin like my junior sister seems to lower my status and identity."

It was time to upgrade to a brick and tile house.

As he left the cabin, he ran into his junior sister, Jiang Ling Su.

Jiang Ling Su seemed worried, her heart heavy with concern, "Senior Brother Qi Yuan, did you notice that there's an extra sun in the sky?"

Her worries were born from this very moment.

In the Qiankun Mirror, she had witnessed the suffering of countless beings and endless bloody rain.

She hadn't noticed the extra sun in the sky.

But now, a sudden appearance of an extra sun in the sky signified a change in heavenly secrets.

She didn't know if this was a good or bad omen.

"The sun?" Qi Yuan was still thinking about meeting his junior sister, but she had brought up the topic of the sun in the sky.

Unexpectedly, his junior sister spoke directly.

So, he responded without hesitation.

"That's not the sun, it's my Golden Core!" Qi Yuan pointed at the small sun in the sky, his voice filled with pride.

Wealth and honor are best enjoyed at home, like wearing fine clothes in the night.

Finally, he had a chance to show off.

Jiang Ling Su was stunned by Qi Yuan's words.

The faint worry in her heart dissipated, and a smile curved her lips, causing her ample chest to tremble, "Senior Brother, you're really good at making things up.

This kind of thing, you can't just say it casually.

What if, under the light of this sun, you might attract trouble."

"Truth is held by the few." Qi Yuan naturally didn't explain, his gaze fixed on the sun, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, "On the sun, there's also..."

The Golden Canary was still above the star.

"Senior Brother, your talent is not bad, but now, you've just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The Golden Core is still ten thousand miles away from you! The vessel of the Golden Core is even more important than the Foundation Establishment."

"Senior Brother, do you want to borrow some Spirit Stones from me and buy something expensive?" Jiang Ling Su was truly a wealthy woman, and she was very generous towards Qi Yuan.

This time, Qi Yuan was full of grandeur, treating money like dirt, "Spirit Stones can't buy stars!

They can't buy stars! And in a universe, there are countless stars and planets, all waiting for Qi Yuan to devour.

They're all free, no need for money!

Might as well take advantage of it!"

"Senior Brother, my sister will be coming tomorrow, I wanted to inform you in advance." Jiang Ling Su didn't mention the Golden Core again.

"You're most welcome!" Qi Yuan said.

After a brief conversation, Jiang Ling Su returned to her wooden cabin to cultivate.

Qi Yuan muttered to himself, "Primordial Core True Man... is that all?"

He felt that his life hadn't changed much.

He took a deep breath and looked towards the palace at the peak of the Seven Color Peak.

The place was silent and cold, with moonlight pouring down, creating a fairyland-like atmosphere.

He began to climb.

At the halfway point, the restrictions that once blocked him appeared before Qi Yuan.

"Master, your disciple has reached the Primordial Core stage."

Qi Yuan's finger touched the restriction.

The restriction that once blocked him was now powerless.

He entered the restriction and slowly made his way to the palace at the peak.

His heart also became calm.

The peak of the Seven Color Peak was much colder than the halfway point.

Sometimes the sun shone at the mountain's waist, but snow fell at the summit.

When Qi Yuan reached the peak, he felt a faint chill.

In the mist, a white jade palace could be vaguely seen.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

This was his first time here.

"Master?"

He softly called out to the palace ahead.

His voice echoed in the palace and returned to Qi Yuan's ears.

However, the figure of Master Ruan Yixi did not appear.

"Wife?" Qi Yuan became a little bolder.

If it were any other time, the clouds in the sky would have gathered, but now, there was no reaction.

Qi Yuan felt a slight disappointment.

As expected.

Beautiful women were good at deception.

He entered the palace alone, searching for traces of Master Ruan Yixi.

The vast palace was empty, devoid of any presence.

The silence was eerie, without a hint of life.

It was as if a thousand years had passed since anyone had lived here.

At that moment, a jade token fell from the sky, with precise, landed in Qi Yuan's hand.

"Moon?"

Upon seeing the word on the jade token, Qi Yuan's eyes narrowed.

The jade token had a simple design, with only the character "Moon" carved on it.

And this word gave him endless thoughts.

[Moon Token, the Moon Goddess True Monarch's token.]



Holding the Moon Token, his eyes flashed with countless feelings.

The memories of the Moon Gazing Continent flowed through his mind once more.

"So, was the mutation of that small grass related to Master?"

His heart was heavy as he looked at the palace ahead, and he asked softly.

"Master, have we met before?"

"Or perhaps, we will meet in the future."

"Or perhaps, you've always..."

Qi Yuan held the Moon Token, and a faint melancholy spread.

At that moment, a faint fragrance drifted, and Xiao Jia's figure appeared silently, holding onto Qi Yuan's sleeve. A wooden "Tietie" token slipped out of her sleeve.

She seemed to be comforting Qi Yuan.

The fragrance on Xiao Jia's body was exceptionally refreshing, like the light scent of the evening, neither too strong nor too weak, always inviting and dreamy.

Ning Tou's fragrance was sometimes like the light fragrance of a mountain valley, sweet and delicate, and sometimes like a seductive scent, ensnaring and intoxicating, trampling and shredding, venting the sins of the heart.

"Moon Gazing Continent... Moon Goddess..."

"Who did the Great Sun encounter back then?"

"Can I go to the Moon Gazing Continent again?"

Perhaps, there he would find the answers.

...

The Hundred-Day Demolition of Bright Palace Plan continues.

He must expedite its progress.

Most importantly, he is lacking in cultivation techniques again.

Now, having reached the Jade Core stage, his cultivation of the Qi Yuan Scripture has come to a halt.

He needs the Bright Palace to send him cultivation techniques through the white moonlight.

Entering the forum, Qi Yuan opened the post he had made using his alternate account.

Surprisingly, there were over a thousand replies.

Qi Yuan skimmed through them; they were all from members of the Divine Flower Society, criticizing Bright Palace.

"Alas, even if they've learned the art of sensationalism, they are too restrained in their insults. If only they could let loose and curse without the fear of censorship in this forum!" Qi Yuan sighed.

Of course, he was just talking big; he wasn't very good at cursing people either.

At most, he could type some asterisks to intimidate them.

Qi Yuan exited the forum and returned to the group chat.

"Fellow seniors, I, as a newbie, would like to seek your guidance on something. If the Golden Core I've cultivated escapes my body, how should I summon it back?" Qi Yuan pondered.

Is his Golden Core in a different universe from him?

The mini sun in the sky is merely a projection of his Golden Core.

Summoning it back to his dantian is definitely out of the question.

With his small stomach, accommodating a Sunstar Golden Core would be impossible.

But if he could move his Golden Core to this universe, then... using its power would be much more convenient.

Currently, summoning the Golden Core across universes is... too inconvenient.

"Origin Venerable, have you cultivated a Golden Core?" Rogue Immortal Venerable, who often claimed to be in closed-door cultivation, was always keeping up with the group messages.

"Barely." Qi Yuan boasted, "This time, I led ten thousand Purple Mansions and swept through the Demon Realm, defeating over ten thousand Supreme Beings and barely managing to kill the final boss, cultivating an incredibly powerful Golden Core."

To ensure the group members understood, Qi Yuan specifically used 'Purple Mansion' instead of 'Supreme Being'.

"666." Rogue Immortal Venerable was speechless and could only imitate Qi Yuan's previous speaking style.

Ten thousand Purple Mansions?

Nonsense! If you had ten thousand Purple Mansions, would you secretly register an alternate account to smear Bright Palace? You'd just conquer them directly! Rogue Immortal Venerable felt that Origin Venerable's condition was getting worse.

"You've cultivated a Golden Core so quickly, as expected of a peerless talent!" Great Sun Flame Emperor praised in the group, his words carrying a hint of flattery.

Ice Mountain Tyrantess appeared in the group after a while and seriously replied, "Losing a Golden Core... is indeed troublesome. Where did it go?"

"Not in the Wave Surge Realm." Qi Yuan answered seriously.

The group fell silent.

Rogue Immortal Venerable felt that Origin Venerable was really good at boasting.

"I... don't know either." Ice Mountain Tyrantess answered honestly, then asked, "Origin Venerable, have you traveled to other worlds?"

"Mhm." Qi Yuan nodded.

He had been to the Moon Gazing Continent, Windflow Realm, and that universe.

"If I remember correctly, the Dongtu Talents Ranking has been moved up.

Origin Venerable, if you participate, you must aim for a good ranking.

This time, an Eastern Sacred Land has discovered a new world gateway. The top thirty on the Dongtu Talents Ranking will have a chance to go to that world." Ice Mountain Tyrantess revealed some important information.

"There's such a good opportunity? It's a whole new world with infinite resources!" Rogue Immortal Venerable exclaimed.

"Rogue, don't even think about it. You should first consider how to get into the Talents Ranking.

The top thirty is something for Origin Venerable, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to aim for." Ice Mountain Tyrantess bluntly stated.

"Wuwu." Rogue Immortal Venerable felt that the weak had no say.

At this moment, Great Sun Flame Emperor spoke, "Recently, Bright Palace sent out a message, inviting Blood Robe Sword God to meet in Chen Country. The late-stage Divine Infant cultivator who forced Blood Robe Sword God's daughter to live in a dog kennel will apologize in person."

Qi Yuan was stunned upon hearing this, "Apologize?"

Wasn't this all made up? Why would they apologize? Is he being targeted?

"They might apologize, or they might be trying to force you to drop this matter. Origin Venerable, be cautious and don't fall for Bright Palace's schemes." Great Sun Flame Emperor reminded him.

"Hmph, now that I've cultivated an invincible Golden Core, what's there to fear!" Qi Yuan's courage grew significantly after cultivating the Sunstar Golden Core.

He even felt unafraid of Bright Palace's late-stage Divine Infant cultivator without using his Golden Core's power.

During the late Foundation Establishment stage, he could instantly kill Bright Palace's late-stage Divine Infant cultivator.

"Origin Venerable, don't be reckless. Consider the long-term consequences," Rogue Immortal Venerable was cautious about matters of life and death and genuinely cared for Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan was touched, "Rest assured, the Hundred-Day Demolition of Bright Palace Plan is proceeding smoothly. Feel free to borrow high-interest loans!"

Qi Yuan contemplated, if Bright Palace truly apologizes, should he take the opportunity to borrow some high-interest loans?

"What a pity, if I borrow from them again, they won't lend me any more. They're too stingy!" Ice Mountain Tyrantess said.

"Sister Ice Mountain Tyrantess, how much did you borrow?" Great Sun Flame Emperor couldn't help but ask.

"Not much, just four million spirit stones."

"..."

"..."

"Not much..."

Qi Yuan fell silent as well.

Borrowing money and not repaying it is indeed a great way to make money!

After demolishing Bright Palace, Sister Ice Mountain Tyrantess had done almost nothing and still profited by 4 million spirit stones.

Truly terrifying!

"Origin Venerable, remember to update the record of demolishing Bright Palace here. I can't spend freely until the money is in my hands!" Ice Mountain Tyrantess said.

"Rest assured!" Qi Yuan affirmed.

He decided to meet Bright Palace's late-stage Divine Infant cultivator in person, assuming the identity of Blood Robe Sword God.

Now that he has cultivated a Golden Core, it's time to... destroy Bright Palace!

Having punched hard in the game and cultivated a Golden Core, he shouldn't always be meek in reality, right?

The reputation of the Sunstar Golden Core must be spread through the demolition of Bright Palace!
