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

"Uh... uh..."

The old man wanted to speak, wanted to transmit his voice, but he couldn't say anything.

"What, you don't agree?" Qi Yuan questioned.

The old man's face grew even more terrified.

"Oh, I forgot, you're still muted," Qi Yuan said with a smile.

With a light tap of his finger, the restraints on the Yang God old man disappeared instantly.

The old man quickly said, "I agree, I agree! Great Sun Supreme, Qi Tan offended you. He deserved to die, he deserved to die!"

Although the Qi Family's Yang God old man had never met Qi Yuan before, the new name of the market and Qi Yuan's god-like methods left no doubt that this was the Great Sun Supreme. Who else could it be?

Beside him, Lian Mei's pupils dilated.

The Great Sun Supreme!

Shen Wushen's friend was actually the legendary Great Sun Supreme who had annihilated the Taihuang Palace! The Great Sun Supreme was the most miraculous and legendary figure of the past century. He had single-handedly destroyed the Ghost Heaven, fought alone against the Taihuang Palace, and brought about the descent of ten thousand suns, shaking the Six Heavens of the Immortal World. Who didn't know of him? Who hadn't heard of him?

Such a majestic existence—Lian Mei had never imagined she would have the chance to meet him. Yet, not only had she met him, but she had also spoken to him, even... bickered with him. The thought of bickering with such a majestic figure made her heart race and her chest tighten. She even wondered if her dress was too casual.

The surrounding cultivators, upon hearing this, were first confused, then realized what was happening. They lowered their heads, some even kneeling on the ground, their faces filled with excitement.

At that moment, Qi Yuan looked at the thoroughly dead Qi Tan and suddenly waved his hand.

A special aura spread, and the previously dead Qi Tan was revived.

The revived Qi Tan looked around in confusion.

Hadn't he been killed by that terrifying existence?

Was it all an illusion?

But when he looked up and saw the familiar figure and his ancestor's submissive demeanor, his expression froze.

It wasn't an illusion?

Then, a calm voice entered his ears.

"Now do you understand... how to show off?"

"I specially revived you just to kill you again."

As the words fell, Qi Tan's body shattered once more, dying beyond death.

He was revived in confusion, only to die again in confusion.

The cultivators present felt that the Great Sun Supreme was truly terrifying.

Killing someone, reviving them, and then killing them again.

It was too horrifying.

Only the Yang God old man was inwardly shaken.

Because he had seen that Qi Tan had truly died, his true spirit completely shattered. Even a Supreme wouldn't be able to revive him.

So how had his descendant—no, that scoundrel—been revived?

Was it an illusion?

That was the only explanation.

But for the Great Sun Supreme to perform such an illusion in front of him was still awe-inspiring.

"Indeed, killing and showing off are great joys in life."

After killing Qi Tan twice, Qi Yuan felt refreshed.

As for why Qi Tan could be revived, it was naturally because Qi Yuan had marked him and expended resources to bring him back.

The Qi Family's Yang God lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Qi Yuan continued, "The atmosphere in the cultivation world is too poor. You need to keep a close eye on your Qi Family disciples. If something like this happens again, it won't be as simple as just one Qi Tan dying."

With a wave of his hand, the Yang God old man's figure quickly disappeared, returning to his original place.

At that moment, Qi Yuan looked at Shen Wushen not far away. "Didn't I promise to help you find flowing light in the Celestial Palace? Look, what's this?"

Qi Yuan extended his hand, and a diamond-shaped crystal appeared in everyone's sight.

The Purple Mansion cultivators, upon seeing this crystal, were filled with envy and jealousy.

A single strand of flowing light was enough to make them fight fiercely.

This was the source of flowing light.

If they could obtain it, they might instantly surpass the Purple Mansion Realm and step into the Yin God Realm.

Beside him, Lian Mei, recalling Qi Yuan's earlier promise to help Shen Wushen find flowing light in the Celestial Palace, felt like a complete fool. She had thought Qi Yuan was boasting, but now it was clear that she was the one who had been ignorant.

"Take it. Don't worry, no one will dare to rob you. If anyone dares to rob you, they're disrespecting me," Qi Yuan said.

The surrounding Purple Mansion cultivators didn't dare to even think of robbing it.

This was a gift from a Supreme.

The symbolic value of this item far exceeded its practical worth.

"Right, who among you dares to rob it?" Qi Yuan scanned the crowd, his gaze landing on a bald man. "Ah, you seem to be the most diligent bandit here, and the bravest. Do you dare to rob it?"

The bald man, being stared at and questioned by a Supreme, felt like his ancestors' graves were emitting smoke. He had actually spoken to a Supreme!

"I... I wouldn't dare," the bald man stammered in fear.

How could he dare!

The gap between a Purple Mansion cultivator and a Supreme was... well, indescribable.

No matter what, whether he lived or died, from now on, he would undoubtedly be the most accomplished and famous person in his lineage.

"See? Even the bravest bandit here doesn't dare to rob you, Shen Wushen. You can keep it with peace of mind."

Shen Wushen took a deep breath. "Thank you, Brother Qi."

Beside him, Lian Mei's head was spinning.

This Great Sun Supreme seemed a bit... off.

To put it disrespectfully, he seemed to be acting a bit crazy.

"It's fine. With our friendship, do we need to stand on ceremony?" Qi Yuan waved his hand, feeling somewhat bored.

Playing with these people for so long had lost its charm.

At that moment, a crisp voice rang out.

"Hong Yun of the Supreme Truth Council, under the orders of the Grand Council Master, specially invites the Great Sun Supreme to visit the Supreme Truth Assembly."

Hong Yun stepped forward, her face filled with respect.

Qi Yuan glanced at Hong Yun, his expression calm. "Since the Supreme Truth Assembly has invited me, it would be impolite not to go."

This Hong Yun was interesting.

If the Grand Council Master of the Supreme Truth Council wanted to invite him, he could easily send an avatar. There was no need for Hong Yun to come personally.

Clearly, they wanted to convey something through Hong Yun.

The two figures flashed.

Qi Yuan got straight to the point. "You're interesting. Are you from outside the Immortal World?"

His eyes could see many hidden details.

Hong Yun was surprised. "I come from the Nanke Universe."

"That name... is quite special," Qi Yuan said casually. "Does the Nanke Universe have a Dao Lord?"

"Yes," Hong Yun nodded seriously.

"Dao Lord..."

Qi Yuan's expression was unreadable.

The Dao Lord Realm could be considered a form of omniscience and omnipotence.

It seemed that the Nanke Universe had already entered a cycle.

Qi Yuan was extremely wary of Dao Lords.

If he encountered a fourth-layer Yang God, he still had a chance to escape.

But if he encountered a fifth-layer Yang God and they were hostile, escaping... would be impossible.

Fortunately, the Immortal World's Dao Lord was no more.

Otherwise, if the Dao Lord were a foul-mouthed, irredeemable villain, how would Qi Yuan, who wanted to rectify the cultivation world's atmosphere, deal with him?

Hong Yun thought of something and said, "The Nanke Universe... also has no future."

Qi Yuan blinked, a strange expression on his face.

"The Nanke Universe... also has no future?"

He found it strange.

He could understand the Immortal World having no future.

The Immortal World's Dao Lord had fallen, and Ming Zun, upon reaching the fourth layer of the Yang God Realm, had severed the future at the pinnacle of his power.

But the Nanke Universe also had no future?

Had something strange happened there as well?

"The specific reasons are beyond my knowledge," Hong Yun said.

"The Immortal World and the Nanke Universe... both have no future," Qi Yuan said calmly, his mind racing with thoughts.

He suddenly felt very tired.

Indeed, thinking about these abstract things was exhausting.

Bullying small-time thugs like Qi Tan was much more relaxing and enjoyable.

"Sigh, life is just too hard," Qi Yuan sighed again, pulling out a bottle of juice and gulping it down.

Hong Yun was speechless and remained silent.

This Great Sun Supreme was indeed... peculiar.

Soon, the two arrived at the Supreme Truth Council.

The Grand Council Master of the Supreme Truth Council appeared, revealing his true form—a dragon turtle.

With a turtle's head and shell, and a dragon's body coiled around it, faint divine light emanated from him. On his shell, there seemed to be inscriptions of Supreme Truth, exuding a mysterious and vast aura.

"Great Sun Supreme, it's been a hundred years. Your cultivation has grown even more profound."

The Grand Council Master spoke, his gaze fixed on Qi Yuan.

With his eyes, he could see through all things in the world, but on Qi Yuan, he saw no trace of leaked information.

This Great Sun Supreme was indeed mysterious and powerful.

"You're quite strong too," Qi Yuan commented.

Although the Grand Council Master was only at the second layer of the Yang God Realm, Qi Yuan could tell that if the Flame Realm Lord of the Black Heaven and Black Earth were to face the Grand Council Master, the outcome would be uncertain.

Since the Six Heavens of the Immortal World couldn't reach the third layer of the Yang God Realm, the Supreme Truth Council had forged an alternative path—the Path of Supreme Truth—to enhance Yang God cultivation and walk a different road.

"Great Sun Supreme, by opening the Celestial Palace this time... have you made contact with the existence of the Sole Hall?" the Grand Council Master asked.

"Sort of," Qi Yuan replied lazily, conserving his words.

"Indeed," the Grand Council Master nodded in understanding. "In that case, the Great Sun Supreme should know that our Immortal Dao's Dao Lord... has already fallen."

When mentioning this, the Grand Council Master's expression was complex.

"With the Dao Lord fallen, the Immortal Dao is adrift... Who will now take the lead in the Immortal Dao?" the Grand Council Master sighed.

The fall of a Dao Lord was a devastating blow to a path.

It could even lead to its destruction.

"Why did you come to me?" Qi Yuan cut straight to the point, not interested in the Grand Council Master's lamentations.

"Since the Dao Lord fell, the Supreme Truth Council has been seeking to rebuild the Immortal Dao. Thus, the Path of Supreme Truth was born. The Sole Hall initiated the Linya Transformation to construct the Seven Heavens of the Immortal World. Although our paths differ, our goals are the same. The Sole Hall has the Sole Hall, and the Supreme Truth Council... has the Primordial Council." At this point, the Grand Council Master's eyes shone with confidence.

"The Primordial Council, a fourth-layer Yang God like the Sole Hall?" Qi Yuan was surprised.

As he grew stronger, he was indeed seeing more of the world.

The Grand Council Master's face showed a hint of embarrassment. "The Primordial Council is far inferior to a fourth-layer Yang God, but it is a treasure of the Realm Lord."

"Oh," Qi Yuan responded indifferently.

At his level, ordinary Realm Lord treasures no longer caught his attention.

In the Black Heaven and Black Earth, he had shattered over ten thousand Realm Lord treasures.

A mere Realm Lord treasure didn't interest him.

"Great Sun Supreme, do not underestimate the Primordial Council. It was crafted by the disciples of the Immortal Dao's Dao Lord. The Primordial Council... can connect to other universes, allowing communication with beings from other universes!" the Grand Council Master said proudly.

The Path of Supreme Truth was created by the Supreme Truth Council through the Primordial Council, exchanging ideas with powerful beings from countless universes and pooling their wisdom.

"Can it leave the Immortal World?" Qi Yuan was intrigued.

"No, only the true spirit can communicate within the Primordial Council," the Grand Council Master explained. "Entering the Primordial Council has immeasurable benefits. Not only can one experience the rules of various universes and different paths, but one can also rapidly improve their cultivation and refine their true spirit. A Great Supreme Truth at the second layer of the Yang God Realm, after spending ten thousand years in the Primordial Council, could solidify their true spirit to the point where they might survive even the end of a universe, reviving when the universe is reborn."

At this, the Grand Council Master's face was filled with reverence.

After all, when a universal epoch ended, all living beings would perish.

Only those at the third layer of the Yang God Realm and above would not be affected by the end of the universe.

Just the refinement of the true spirit alone was enough to excite all the Yang Gods of the Immortal World.

Although Yang Gods had infinite lifespans, if they didn't reach the third layer, they would still die when the universe ended.

"Even though I have controlled the Primordial Council for 300 billion years, I have only entered it once," the Dragon Turtle Grand Council Master said.

An epoch lasted about 490 billion years.

The Dragon Turtle Grand Council Master's lifespan exceeded 300 billion years.

This meant that the Immortal World was in the later stages of this epoch.

"Your talent is extraordinary. In this epoch, I have never seen anyone with talent surpassing yours. Therefore, I am prepared to grant you the qualification to enter the Primordial Council and enhance your strength. However, this gift is not without cost. In the near future, you will need to represent the Immortal World in the Primordial Council and participate in the Myriad Epoch Grand Council!"

Seeing that Qi Yuan remained silent, the Dragon Turtle Grand Council Master continued, "In the myriad worlds, besides the Immortal World, there are many other universes. When the Immortal Dao's Dao Lord still existed, the young talents of the Immortal World would, from time to time, enter the Primordial Council to participate in the Myriad Epoch Grand Council, debating with powerful beings from various universes. The rewards for these debates were plentiful. However, since the Immortal Dao's Dao Lord fell, according to the Supreme Truth Council's records, the Immortal World has gone many epochs without receiving rich rewards. I only hope that in the Myriad Epoch Grand Council, the Great Sun Supreme can bring back some opportunities. Otherwise, when this epoch ends, I fear... few in the Immortal World will survive the universal catastrophe."

This was the Grand Council Master's purpose.

Although he had lived for an extremely long time, he had only comprehended one Supreme Truth. After being tempered by the Primordial Council, his strength had reached its limit. Naturally, he couldn't compare to a young talent like Qi Yuan.

"This..." Qi Yuan pondered for a moment.

To be honest, he was quite interested in the Primordial Council.

After all, he could meet aliens.

But... from what the Grand Council Master said, the Myriad Epoch Grand Council would likely take a very, very long time to occur.

As he was thinking, a mysterious aura suddenly descended.

"Senior Brother, I need to speak with you."

The Dragon Turtle Grand Council Master was surprised.

He hadn't expected the Second Council Master to seek him out at this time.

He bowed to Qi Yuan in apology, and his true spirit disappeared, entering the depths of the Supreme Truth Council.

"Junior Brother, what brings you to me?" the Grand Council Master asked.

He was currently hosting a guest, so the Second Council Master wouldn't disturb him without good reason.

"Senior Brother, are you planning to grant the Primordial Council's gift to the Great Sun Supreme?" the Second Council Master asked.

The Grand Council Master paused, then said, "Junior Brother, I know you've always wanted to enter the Primordial Council, but your talent isn't sufficient to support you. In the Six Heavens of the Immortal World, only the Great Sun has a slight qualification to enter the Primordial Council. Apart from him, only the previous Sun Supreme has a chance. This epoch has less than 30 billion years left. If we don't strive harder, we may not survive this epoch."

The Grand Council Master spoke earnestly.

"Senior Brother, it's not that I'm greedy. It's just that I have a better candidate," the Second Council Master said.

"Oh? Who? Is it the Black Sword from the Black Demon Abyss?" the Grand Council Master asked casually.

"No, it's the Ghost Supreme!" the Second Council Master said.

"The Ghost Supreme's talent is only slightly better than yours, and not even as good as the Great Sun. How could he enter the Primordial Council?" the Grand Council Master asked, his face filled with curiosity.

The Second Council Master wouldn't come to him without a good reason.

"The Ghost Supreme obtained a Heterodox Dao Fruit in the Celestial Palace. He is perfectly compatible with that Dao Fruit. Once he fully refines it, he might break through the Immortal World's restrictions and reach the third layer of the Yang God Realm! A third-layer Yang God who has comprehended a Supreme Truth—isn't he more qualified to enter the Primordial Council than the Great Sun Supreme?" the Second Council Master said with a proud expression.
