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

The Realm Lords present looked at the character "Wu", their expressions filled with terror.

Especially the old man, whose face looked even more miserable than if his mother had died.

"Dao Lord of the Wu Dao, what do you think?" Qi Yuan asked casually.

The character "Wu" was directly facing the old man, its voice mysterious: "I am the Dao Lord. Do you despise me?"

The old man was so frightened that he immediately knelt down: "This humble old man wouldn't dare."

The character "Wu" chuckled and looked at Qi Yuan: "It seems he doesn't despise me."

At his level of cultivation, having lived for countless eons, how could such trivial matters affect him?

All he sought was to break the cycle or ascend to an even higher realm.

Hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, though the worry in his heart had not yet dissipated.

After all, he had never encountered a being like the Dao Lord before, and the Dao Lord's thoughts were difficult to fathom.

Qi Yuan stretched lazily: "Since he doesn't despise you, then you have no business here. Hurry up and leave."

With a wave of his hand, the character "Wu" disappeared.

He had summoned the Dao Lord of the Wu Dao on a whim.

As the character "Wu" dissipated, the terrifying, oppressive, and suffocating aura vanished, and the Realm Lords present all let out a sigh of relief.

However, their gazes toward Qi Yuan became peculiar.

To be able to befriend a Dao Lord, and even dismiss the Dao Lord of the Wu Dao with a wave of his hand—what level of strength and cultivation did Qi Yuan possess?

At this moment, Qi Yuan turned to the Sword Keeper, Nameless: "Quick, tell me how to obtain the remains of Ming Zun and seal the Dao Fruit."

He always followed the rules in his actions.

He also needed to seal the Heterodox Dao Fruits.

Otherwise, if more and more Heterodox Dao Fruits were to scatter across the Immortal Realm, the news that the Immortal Realm was a world created by the Dao Lord in a dream might also leak out.

If that happened, the Immortal Realm might collapse and disappear, just like the Heavy Origin Universe.

This would require the efforts of the Ad Church.

Qi Yuan was too lazy to deal with it.

If it could be sealed, it was better to seal it.

"To obtain Ming Zun's gift, one must pass Ming Zun's trial," said the Sword Keeper, Nameless.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky turned pitch black.

In the night sky, pairs of eyes belonging to Heterodox Spirits gazed down at the Realm Lords present.

"The trial is simple. Among the Realm Lords present, whoever slays the most Heterodox Spirits will receive the gift."

The other Realm Lords looked at the Heterodox Spirits and felt a hint of pressure.

If this had been before, they would have immediately unleashed their various divine abilities as soon as the Sword Keeper, Nameless, finished speaking.

But now, everyone looked at Qi Yuan.

If Qi Yuan did not move, they dared not act.

After all, with Qi Yuan here, how could they possibly compete?

"Is it that simple?" Qi Yuan said, then waved his hand.

An ordinary attack, seemingly devoid of any divine abilities or techniques, not even a ripple of spiritual energy.

Yet, it was precisely this kind of attack!

In an instant, all the Heterodox Spirits in the world were captured in his palm.

The other Realm Lords watched this scene, exchanging glances, yet feeling it was entirely reasonable.

Tai Ri sighed, not daring to look directly at Qi Yuan anymore.

Once a fellow prodigy, Qi Yuan had long since left him far behind.

In fact, it was likely that he would never have the chance to surpass Qi Yuan in the future.

"Congratulations, Senior!"

The Realm Lords present all spoke up, offering their congratulations.

To compete with a Dao Lord stage existence for an opportunity?

That was suicide.

The Sword Keeper, Nameless, took a deep breath and slowly said, "Since Senior has captured all the Heterodox Spirits, this... Hall of Eternity... shall belong to Senior."

The Hall of Eternity was formed from Ming Zun.

In its previous stage, it existed only in the past and future.

Now, it had reached the second stage of the fourth layer Yang God, transforming into a Heterodox Treasure.

This Heterodox Treasure was the Hall of Eternity.

As the Sword Keeper, Nameless, finished speaking, the Hall of Eternity shrank into a small palace and landed in Qi Yuan's hand.

Qi Yuan looked at the small palace with curiosity: "The Hall of Eternity... it's quite extraordinary."

It seemed to represent the one and only palace in the world.

"After I reach Yang God, I won't live in a big villa anymore. I'll live in this Hall of Eternity. It suits my status," Qi Yuan murmured.

The Sword Keeper, Nameless, took a deep breath.

He hadn't expected Qi Yuan to be so powerful.

He had thought that even with his master's hidden arrangements, it would take Qi Yuan considerable effort and time to control the Hall of Eternity.

Yet, Qi Yuan had refined it in an instant.

Of course, with Qi Yuan's strength, obtaining the Hall of Eternity didn't require such trouble. He could have taken it with a wave of his hand.

But Qi Yuan was lawful and good, abiding by the rules, so he wouldn't resort to force. Everything was done according to the rules.

This was, in a way, a form of "doing as one pleases."

"With the Hall of Eternity in hand, Senior, please accompany me to the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Realm to seal the Heterodox Dao Fruits," the Sword Keeper, Nameless, said with renewed vigor.

If someone else held the Heterodox Treasure but lacked the cultivation, sealing the Heterodox Dao Fruits might lead to complications.

But with Qi Yuan's strength, sealing them would be effortless.

"Wait," Qi Yuan called out to the Sword Keeper, Nameless.

The Sword Keeper, Nameless, looked at Qi Yuan in confusion: "Senior, please speak."

Qi Yuan then said leisurely, "If I remember correctly, your Hall of Eternity has been harboring some criminals. These criminals have committed many crimes in the lower realms. According to the rules... they should at least be sentenced to a hundred years of mining."

Qi Yuan was referring to the people from the Taihuang Palace who had fled into the Sole Hall.

Tai Ri, upon hearing this, was initially wary but then became delighted, looking at Qi Yuan with gratitude.

Those from the Taihuang Palace who had entered the Sole Hall were truly in a dire situation, with no one to turn to.

Every day, they would be devoured bit by bit by the Heterodox Spirits.

Now that the Hall of Eternity was gone, leaving them here would likely result in their deaths soon.

For Tai Ri, although the Taihuang Palace had been hostile to Qi Yuan, it was mostly due to the Great Sun's orders. Many of them had not actually opposed Qi Yuan.

Including himself, he hadn't wanted to fight Qi Yuan.

It was only because Qi Yuan had pressured the Taihuang Palace that he had no choice but to resist.

Otherwise, he might have even cooperated with Qi Yuan.

After all, he was a sacrifice of the Great Sun, destined to break through to the Supreme realm within the Linya Transformation and then die, being offered as a sacrifice.

Most people in the Taihuang Palace had not truly been enemies with Qi Yuan.

Now, hearing that Qi Yuan intended to punish the people of the Taihuang Palace, he was initially shocked. But upon hearing the details, he felt a sense of joy.

Though there was punishment, no matter how harsh mining might be, could it be worse than being in the Seventh Heaven?

"Alright," the Sword Keeper, Nameless, had no objections.

Regarding the people from the Taihuang Palace, he couldn't care less. Their lives or deaths were of no concern to him.

Since Qi Yuan had brought it up, he immediately agreed.

...

"Is this the Heterodox Dao Fruit of the Immortal Dao?"

Qi Yuan looked ahead, seeing nothing.

Even a Realm Lord would see nothing there.

But Qi Yuan's eyes could still detect the aura of the Immortal Realm's Great Dao.

Not to mention, his eyes could see hidden information.

Looking at the Immortal Dao Dao Fruit, he felt a sudden surge of greed, which he quickly suppressed.

He knew this greed was induced by the Immortal Dao Dao Fruit.

After all, this was a Dao Fruit left behind by the Dao Lord, containing all of a Dao Lord's understanding of the Immortal Dao.

"If I were to refine this Dao Fruit, I would likely become the new Immortal Dao Dao Lord in an instant," Qi Yuan thought.

Of course, he wouldn't refine it.

Looking at the Dao Fruit, he sighed.

"If I were to throw this Dao Fruit into a universe, perhaps... the Immortal Dao would flourish, and in the future, a new Immortal Dao Dao Lord might emerge."

This was the power and terror of a Dao Fruit.

Any strong individual who saw this Dao Fruit would be tempted, even a Dao Lord.

Refining this Dao Fruit might allow one to master an additional Great Dao.

"Seal it."

...

Time flowed on.

After sealing the Heterodox Dao Fruits, Qi Yuan accompanied Jin Li, Ning Tao, Canary, Jiang Lingsu, and Xiao Jia to the Fish Cloud Gathering.

Later, he traveled across the Canglan Realm and even ventured into the void and the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm.

Of course, he occasionally entered the Myriad Transformations Society within the Cosmic Void realm to exchange ideas with other Dao Lords.

The Sword Dao Lord and the Dog Dao Lord had chosen to reincarnate their true spirits ten years ago.

At night, Qi Yuan would sometimes hold his junior sister, or later embrace Jin Li, or hold Canary and Ning Tao, lamenting the passage of time.

"In another thirty billion years, the Immortal Realm will be destroyed. What should we do?"

This filled Qi Yuan with immense worry and distress.

So much so that his hair was almost turning white.

Of course, his hair couldn't turn white, as he was already an Yin God.

So, a single nose hair turned white instead.

About thirty years passed.

Qi Yuan held a game jade slip, a smile on his face.

"A new game... has it finally arrived?"

...

"What is this..."

Qi Yuan felt that his current state was strange.

In the past, when starting a new game, he would almost always enter as his main body.

But this time, he felt that his state was different.

"Am I an embryo now?"

"Good thing it didn't go further back, as I'm not good at running. If I couldn't outrun the other guys, that would be too tragic."

Qi Yuan murmured.

He also felt that the embryo's parents were civilized, as they hadn't gone all the way to the tonsils.

"So weak... time to sleep..."

Perhaps because the fetus was too weak, Qi Yuan couldn't maintain consciousness and had to fall asleep.

"Huh... why haven't I been born yet?"

He remembered that it had already been a year.

"Am I not human?"

Qi Yuan pondered, then fell back asleep.

Time passed, and about a hundred years went by.

Suddenly, a large green fruit fell from a giant tree.

The fruit's skin split open, and a pure, flawless infant emerged.

At the moment of birth, strange phenomena appeared.

Multicolored divine light filled the air, birds brought leaves, and white deer bowed their heads.

Qi Yuan looked up at the tree that had nurtured him, feeling a sense of relief.

"Good thing it's not an Ancient Qi Chun Tree, or that would have been awkward."

"Am I... an Yin God now?"

Qi Yuan suddenly remembered the nutrient fluid and other things he had seen in the ancestral land of the Mortal Heart Realm.

That race seemed to have infants born as Yin Gods.

Now, he was also an Yin God.

Was there a connection?

But he had been born as an Yin God. Shouldn't he have inherited memories or something?

At that moment, a phantom figure descended, answering Qi Yuan's doubts.

"Your father is one of the Twelve Pillars of the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain, the supreme and majestic Divine Seat... Tian Kai."

So, he had gained a father?

What father? Qi Yuan couldn't be bothered to acknowledge him.

But the title sounded impressive.

One of the Twelve Pillars of the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain.

Was there a connection between the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain and the so-called Mount Olympus?

"A hundred years ago, Divine Seat Tian Kai was traveling through the Primordial Star Domain when he suddenly felt a desire and bestowed his essence upon all things, giving birth to hundreds of millions of god-children. However... only about ten thousand have been born so far, and you are one of them."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan was speechless.

This Tian Kai had quite the taste, even going for this tree...

But then he thought about it and realized it wasn't a problem.

This Tian Kai, as expected of his father, the style is the same.

"Of course, you cannot yet be called a god-child. Only by breaking through to... the True God realm can you attain the status of a god-child and go to the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain to gain the recognition of Divine Seat Tian Kai."

As the phantom figure moved, a flood of information entered Qi Yuan's mind.

And the phantom figure disappeared at that moment.

"Ten Thousand Gods Mountain?"

"The supreme place above countless planes."

"The strongest in the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain is called the Emperor God?"

"Below the Emperor God are the Twelve Pillars, and Tian Kai is one of them."

"Wait... Dao Lord?"

"No, it's different from a Dao Lord. They are not omniscient and omnipotent.

According to the information received.

The cultivation in this world is also divided into seven stages.

The sixth stage is not called Yin God, but Void God.

Only upon reaching the seventh stage, the Yang God realm, is one called a True God.

True Gods are also divided into five stages.

The first stage: Divine Kingdom.

The second stage: Divine Decree.

The third stage: Divine Lord.

The fourth stage: Spirit God.

The fifth stage: Dao God.

The fourth and fifth levels are similar to the Yang God stages in the Immortal Realm.

But the Dao God stage... once reached, only the Divine Kingdom enters a cycle or becomes eternal.

In other words, Dao God experts are only omniscient and omnipotent within their Divine Kingdoms.

And Divine Seat Tian Kai is a terrifying existence at the fifth level of True God, the Dao God stage.

Moreover, on the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain, there are not only these Twelve Pillars at the fifth stage of True God, but also some other fifth stage True Gods striving to reach the position of the Twelve Pillars.

As for the Emperor God of the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain, his cultivation is unknown.

Some say he is at the sixth stage of True God, meaning he is beyond True God.

"How is this so similar to... Mount Olympus? Are they related?"

Qi Yuan pondered.

"My Yin God... is a bit weak."

Qi Yuan muttered.

"Indeed, it's similar to the Void God."

Perhaps due to the laws of this world, the destructive power of the Void God is somewhat weaker than that of the Yin God.

"The 'True God Method'? What a casually named cultivation technique."

Qi Yuan silently complained.

The cultivation in this world was quite peculiar.

From Void God to True God, the process was simple: make more people, or believers, believe that you are a True God.

Then, ignite the Divine Flame and become a True God.

"It feels a bit like faith-based divinity... the more believers... the stronger the Divine Kingdom?"

In this world, there were many planes.

But ninety-nine percent of the planes were already occupied by gods of various sizes.

Finding new believers was extremely difficult.

So, according to the memories from the phantom figure.

The Ten Thousand Gods Mountain had been constantly conquering other planes and worlds, expanding its territory.

"This Ten Thousand Gods Mountain... occupies quite a few planes. Combined, their area is probably the size of a universe?"

"Can the faith of a single universe create so many Dao Gods? Even an Emperor God?"

"If I were to have the people of my universe or the Immortal Realm believe in me..."

"This 'True God Method' is quite interesting."

According to the received information, all the gods in the territory ruled by the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain cultivated techniques derived from the "True God Method," though the versions varied depending on their "family background."

The version Qi Yuan now possessed was a premium edition.

He looked at the "True God Method" and didn't start cultivating immediately. Instead, he used his eyes to examine it.

"Indeed, even the premium edition of the technique has many backdoors and flaws."

The stronger he became, the more he understood, and the more precise and detailed the hidden information his eyes could see.
