Chapter 243: The Divine Flower Emperors' Online Meeting

"Once a sister, always a sister!"

Qi Yuan was a man of strong moral principles.

For instance, when he saw Ruan Yixi, he realized that she was his wife.

So, he always addressed her as 'wife'.

Bingshan Ba_nv was significantly older than him, so it was only natural to address her with respect.

"I'm still young and vibrant, and you people are making me feel old!" Bingshan Ba_nv gritted her teeth as she sent this message.

Back then, when she had reached the pinnacle of the Purple Mansion, she didn't put on airs in the group, and even when facing Qi Yuan, she didn't show any signs of inferiority.

"Bingshan Ba_nv, your beauty captivates nations, and your youth is in full bloom!" The Rogue Immortal flattered her in a timely manner.

The Rogue Immortal had come to terms with his fate; his talent was lacking, and Origin Venerable, who had once been his comrade in the group, had now become a super big shot. He was the only true newbie in the group.

So, all he needed to do was flatter and cling to the big shots.

"It's indeed exhilarating to break through to the Divine Infants Sage, but I have my own worries. I broke through too quickly." Qi Yuan's face showed concern.

He had indeed broken through too fast.

After traveling a long distance back to the Seven Color Summit, he hadn't even settled in when, in the blink of an eye, he advanced from the early stages of Core Formation to the Divine Infants.

This speed could be considered unprecedented, with no one before or after him.

Upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, the Rogue Immortal was completely stumped. Was there someone complaining about breaking through too quickly? According to Origin Venerable's words, wasn't this a case of 'Versailles Syndrome'?

"If I break through to the Dark Deity, I'll definitely follow Origin Venerable's example and show off in front of my sisters... Sigh, breaking through to the Dark Deity is too easy, there's no challenge, and no sense of accomplishment."

"Among us, Origin Venerable is the one who truly understands the art of showing off."

"I'm not showing off, I'm genuinely worried.

After going through great lengths to seek out Immortal Wu Tian, I've exhausted all the cultivation techniques from the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.

As a result, I've only managed to advance to the Divine Infants stage."

Qi Yuan was genuinely troubled.

The cultivation techniques for the Core Formation stage had two paths: one was to continue along the Stellar Golden Core path, and the other was to focus on breaking through to the Divine Infants.

Now that he had exhausted the techniques, he hadn't even finished the Stellar Golden Core path, and the Divine Infants path remained a complete mystery.

At his current stage, he was technically a Divine Infants Sage, but he could also be considered a Core Formation cultivator.

Qi Yuan's words once again left the Four Divine Flowers Emperors confused.

"I've exhausted all the cultivation techniques from the Ascending Heaven Pavilion..."

"The Pavilion Master of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion is merely at the pinnacle of the Purple Mansion, but even Dark Deity Venerables hold him in high esteem. Origin Venerable... you're truly formidable!"

"Sigh, don't mention it. I'm so poor now, lacking in cultivation techniques. Where else can I find a place like the Ascending Heaven Pavilion with so many techniques?" Qi Yuan couldn't help but seek help.

His Stellar Golden Core path was like a bottomless pit.

The Divine Infants path also required numerous techniques.

The rich lady, Jiang Ya, from the Ascending Heaven Pavilion had already been emptied out, so Qi Yuan had to seek other methods.

He also wanted to take a look at the Great Cataclysm.

"Among the thirteen continents of the Eastern Lands, the Ascending Heaven Pavilion has the most cultivation techniques.

Origin Venerable, if you're looking for techniques, you might have to leave the Eastern Lands." Great Sun Flame Venerable explained.

"Oh, you mean go to other regions?" Qi Yuan contemplated.

Recently, Qi Yuan had returned from the Moon-Gazing Continent and received a tip-off from Little Li from the Fox Cave. He went on a killing spree, following the internet trails to eliminate those who had defamed him.

However, his actions were limited to the Eastern Lands.

He had never ventured beyond the Eastern Lands.

"Why don't you come to the Phoenix Sky Realm? It's adjacent to the Eastern Lands, and the Questing Palace has three branches there. Origin Venerable, you might be able to obtain numerous techniques from the Questing Palace." Great Sun Flame Venerable introduced.

In the Canglan Realm, there were a total of thirty-six regions.

The Eastern Lands, Central Heaven Realm, and Arctic Icefield were each considered a region.

The Phoenix Sky Realm bordered the Eastern Lands and was also the region where Great Sun Flame Venerable resided.

In terms of strength, the Phoenix Sky Realm was a cut above the Eastern Lands, and most importantly, it had a Great Venerable.

The Questing Palace was a power established by Purple Mansion cultivators, gathering most of the Purple Mansion cultivators from various regions, all striving towards the Dark Deity path.

The three major branches of the Questing Palace in the Eastern Lands, Phoenix Sky Realm, and Demon Realm were all located in the Phoenix Sky Realm.

"Are there many cultivation techniques in the Questing Palace?"

"The Phoenix Sky Realm branch of the Questing Palace has slightly fewer techniques than the Ascending Heaven Pavilion."

But, their members possess numerous techniques, they just haven't submitted them yet." Bingshan Ba_nv explained.

"What Questing Palace? This is clearly my White Moonlight Palace!" Qi Yuan Qi's eyes lit up.

According to the white moonlight standard he had set, the members of the Questing Palace all met his criteria for white moonlight.

Of course, whether they were truly his white moonlights or not, he still needed to take a look and see if there was any fate between them.

"Let's go. After I finish organizing the Divine Infants Festival, I'll head to the Phoenix Sky Realm to meet you." Qi Yuan said to Great Sun Flame Venerable.

At this moment, Bingshan Ba_nv proposed, "We, the Four Divine Flowers Emperors, have never gathered together. Why don't we take this opportunity, with Origin Venerable coming to the Phoenix Sky Realm, to meet up?"

"No problem, I'll make the arrangements if everyone comes!" Great Sun Flame Venerable was a little excited.

Rogue Immortal hesitated for a moment and said, "I have some time available too."

"It seems like we, the Four Divine Flowers Emperors, will finally get to meet," Qi Yuan also seemed eager.

He was quite enthusiastic about meeting online friends.

Perhaps, this was a form of revengeful face-to-face meeting after his unconventional failure with Jin Li...

"Since it's like this, let's set the location as Qinghong City in Borazhou, Phoenix Sky Realm!" Great Sun Flame Venerable suggested.

Questing Palace's branch was located in Qinghong City.

Qinghong City was also a well-known city in Phoenix Sky Realm.

"What about the timing?" Great Sun Flame Venerable asked.

"I'll probably arrive in about half a month," Qi Yuan replied.

He was still in the Hundred Kingdoms, and it would take some time to travel there.

"Half a month, no problem for this old lady."

"I can make it too."

The group chat was filled with excited discussions.

"Origin Venerable, how do you look? Are you as handsome and awe-inspiring as the legends say?"

His female friends were all eager to see the legendary Blood Robe Sword God.

Unfortunately, no images of him had ever leaked in the Eastern Lands.

"I'm probably quite handsome," Qi Yuan recalled how his junior sister, Jiang Ling Su, had chosen to repay him with her body, and he felt even more confident.

If he weren't good-looking, she probably would have chosen to repay him in her next life by serving him as a cow or a horse.

"I've met Origin Venerable, and he's one of the most charismatic and handsome cultivators I've ever seen!" Rogue Immortal said in the group chat.

"In terms of cultivation realm, I might not rank high in the Canglan Realm, but... when it comes to appearance and attractiveness, if there was a Handsome Men's List in the Canglan Realm, I'd definitely be at the top!" Qi Yuan boasted proudly.

Compared to his looks, the two Stellar Golden Cores in the heavens seemed so dim and lifeless.

"You're that confident?" Great Sun Flame Venerable was surprised, "Are you bluffing?"

"No need to bluff, I can suppress all enemies in the world!" Qi Yuan boasted proudly.

A cultivator who had come to build a new concrete house emerged from the Divine Flower Society's jade slip.

Naturally, Qi Yuan couldn't stay in his own house, so he took his pet kitchen knife and headed down the mountain peak.

He stopped under a big tree where Withered Tree Sage and the Great Shang Kingdom's empress, who was now the queen dowager, had once met in secret.

He looked down at the grass on the ground.

[This is a somewhat unusual blade of grass. It sensed Qi Yuan's aura and underwent some strange changes.]



Seeing this, Qi Yuan's eyes widened in surprise, and his eyes revealed a look of astonishment.

"It can really sense Qi Yuan's aura?"

The last time he saw this grass, it had sensed the moon's aura.

At that time, Qi Yuan was pondering whether this blade of grass would sense his aura the next day.

As a result, he witnessed it today.

"Xiao Jie, look quickly, this blade of grass is a bit strange!" Qi Yuan held Xiao Jie's red hand, and the two of them stared at this seemingly ordinary blade of grass.

Qi Yuan remembered that the last time someone intruded upon the Rainbow Peak, they were killed by this blade of grass.

"Hey... can you speak?" Qi Yuan asked, looking at the grass, unable to hold back his curiosity.

Unfortunately, the grass remained silent, just like an ordinary blade of grass.

"Although you're ordinary and unremarkable, I still spotted you at a glance."

Qi Yuan talked to the grass, but it remained silent, just like any other ordinary grass.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Jiang Ran, who happened to pass by, couldn't help but smile at the scene.

This Rainbow Peak's Peak Seat was indeed unique.

"Greetings, Peak Seat," Jiang Ran bowed respectfully, her eyes filled with both reverence and confusion.

Because just now, Jiang Ling Su had asked her to be a doorkeeper, and she needed a companion.

Jiang Ran was here to be that companion.

This time, she was going to be a doorkeeper for Origin Venerable.

She specifically asked the elders and disciples of Divine Radiance Sect, and indeed, there was going to be a Divine Infant Festival tomorrow, and... it was being held by Qi Yuan of Rainbow Peak.

How could Jiang Ran not be shocked? At this moment, all the disciples of Divine Radiance Sect who heard this news probably had a bewildered expression, finding it hard to believe.

Who in Divine Radiance Sect didn't know of Qi Yuan's name?

And now... he had become a Divine Infant?

If it weren't for the sect leader's order that no one should disturb Rainbow Peak, the peak would surely be bustling with activity.

Many disciples and even some elders would have entered Rainbow Peak to find out what was going on.

"Going to see your junior sister? Go ahead," Qi Yuan didn't say much to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran looked at Qi Yuan, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

In the past, Peak Seat had stood up for her and clashed with Black Mountain Sect's Tian Xiong.

That night, Chu Tianxiong and the rest of the Black Mountain Sect disciples perished, and soon after, the notorious Black Mountain Sect was eradicated by an unknown assailant.

This incident became a long-standing mystery in the Great Shang Kingdom, with no one knowing the identity of the culprit, only that they wielded a unique blade.

Now, Jiang Ran glanced at Qi Yuan, who was following behind with a kitchen knife, and her mind began to race with various thoughts.

If Qi Yuan had been concealing his strength all this time...

Could it be that Qi Yuan was the one who annihilated the Black Mountain Sect?

With this thought, Jiang Ran felt a surge of gratitude and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Qi Yuan, was it you who eradicated the Black Mountain Sect?"

If so, Qi Yuan would undoubtedly be her great benefactor.

Qi Yuan looked around, appearing somewhat guilty, and said, "I'll tell you, it was me who destroyed them. But you mustn't tell anyone, or else the hidden experts within the Black Mountain Sect might go to Bluestar and slaughter my fellow villagers!"

Jiang Ran's eyes lit up.

It was indeed Senior Brother Qi Yuan! When the conflict with the Black Mountain Sect arose, Senior Brother Qi Yuan stepped forward, and Jiang Ran had been concerned about his strength. She never imagined that he would be the one to wipe out the Black Mountain Sect overnight.

The latter half of Qi Yuan's words also shocked Jiang Ran.

The Black Mountain Sect had hidden experts? Stronger than Senior Brother Qi Yuan?

She felt an endless sense of guilt in her heart.

After all, Senior Brother Qi Yuan had intervened because of her conflict with the Black Mountain Sect.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qi Yuan, for eliminating the evil and helping me out of this predicament!" Jiang Ran expressed her gratitude sincerely.

She had only just started Qi Condensation, and she didn't even have any Spirit Stones, let alone a gift to offer in return.

Qi Yuan waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing. The Black Mountain Sect went too far in their bullying. They had been secretly plotting against me, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I took them all out in one fell swoop.

You know, when a commoner gets angry, blood will splatter five feet!"

Jiang Ran was surprised to learn of this hidden backstory. So, the Black Mountain Sect had been secretly humiliating Qi Yuan all along, and this was his revenge.

After expressing her gratitude repeatedly, Jiang Ran headed towards the higher reaches of Seven Color Summit to find Jiang Ling Su.

The place was now left with only Qi Yuan and the whispering voices of the little grass.

"It seems you've been lacking the sun's radiance!" Qi Yuan said casually, glancing at the Stellar Golden Core in the sky.

He had now entered the Divine Infant Realm, and the spiritual power in his Dantian was far greater than during the Core Formation Stage.

In the past, summoning the Stellar Golden Core once required a long accumulation of spiritual power.

But now, he could summon it multiple times consecutively.

As for Ning Tou's illusory image, he could even summon her down to keep him company.

However, at this moment, the Stellar Golden Core was in the critical stage of consuming its third core, so Ning Tou couldn't leave.

Therefore, Qi Yuan's plan was to wait until the third Stellar Golden Core was successfully consumed, and then summon Ning Tou down to play together.

"Maybe I can call Ning Tou down to play together if we get a new game. If it's a modern game, I can play with Xiao Jia and Ning Tou and even get a marriage certificate."

After all, Qi Yuan was more familiar with the modern concept of a marriage certificate than ancient marriage contracts or betrothal agreements.

"Anyway, I don't have any money, and I'm so poor that I'm afraid of divorce and property division."

Qi Yuan thought to himself, furrowing his brows.

"Why am I so poor!" he lamented.

Indeed, Qi Yuan was quite impoverished.

Although the Blood Robe Alliance had been collecting cultivation techniques, their effects were limited, like a drop in the ocean.

He wanted to seek more powerful techniques from the Questing Palace, but he lacked the funds to purchase them.

"If only I could hold a Divine Infant Festival with just one of my Divine Infants, I could surely empty the pockets of all the old Divine Infant Sages in the Great Shang Kingdom!" Qi Yuan thought.

Usually, when hosting a Divine Infant Festival, other participating Divine Infant Sages would offer gifts.

If Qi Yuan held a festival for each of his Divine Infants, he would undoubtedly make a substantial profit.

However, upon considering the idea of emptying the Great Shang Kingdom's resources, Qi Yuan realized that the earnings wouldn't be as significant as he imagined, so he abandoned the plan.

"If I could hold a Divine Infant Festival in the Canglan Realm where everyone could participate, and do it four thousand times, I would undoubtedly become the richest person in the Canglan Realm!"

Qi Yuan indulged in wild fantasies.

It was like when he was a child, wishing that everyone in the world would give him a penny each.

This fantasy was even more extravagant, not only a penny each, but four thousand times per person, which would be like receiving over four hundred dollars from every person on Bluestar.

Even so, it was still comparable to the debt of a certain company.

Qi Yuan stopped indulging in these unrealistic fantasies. On Seven Color Summit, numerous cultivators were still working on constructing his concrete single-story house.

Qi Yuan looked into the distance, "When Qi Jianjun returns, she'll be so surprised to see how much the house has changed!"

At the same time, several hundred miles away, a little girl was fishing in a large lake, her hand propped on her fishing rod.

Occasionally, she would reel in a spiritual fish, and her eyes would light up with a radiant smile.
