My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

Within the ancient mirror, the memories of the man with his back turned flooded into Qi Yuan's consciousness.
"A descendant of a Yang God? What a useless one!"

The man with his back turned, his father was indeed a Yang God.

As for the man himself, he was a second-generation rich kid, living a life of debauchery.

Being a second-generation rich kid was one thing, but he was extremely lecherous.

In the holy land where his father resided, many women and even men fell victim to his depravity.

This second-generation heir, relying on his father's backing, grew bolder by the day.

Somehow, he found out that the Moon God Ancestor was the most beautiful woman in the middle three heavens, and he began speaking obscenely about her.

This information somehow reached the ears of the Moon God Ancestor.

The Moon God Ancestor, from several heavens away, took action directly and obliterated him.

His father paid a huge price and used the Yang God's artifact, the Heavenly Kun Ancient Mirror, to save a fragment of his soul and nurtured it.

However, his father feared that this matter would reach the Moon God Ancestor, so he threw the Heavenly Kun Ancient Mirror into the lower realms, and through a series of coincidences, it ended up in the Canglan Realm.

"The upper realm is so complicated?"

After gaining the memories of the man with his back turned, Qi Yuan also gained a lot of understanding about the upper realm.

The upper realm is not a single world but a collective term for countless worlds.

A holy land presided over by a Yang God governs several, even thousands, of worlds.

Some worlds in the upper realm are not as powerful as the Canglan Realm.

Based on the density of spiritual energy, the upper realm is divided into nine heavens: the lower three, middle three, and upper three.

Among them, the man with his back turned had little memory of the upper three heavens, only knowing it as the land of four wars.

The higher the heavens, the stronger the holy lands.

"Moon God Palace... the faction where Jin Li resides..."

Qi Yuan murmured.

He hadn't expected that by killing a man with his back turned, he would learn news about the Moon God Palace.

The Moon God Ancestor is the strongest being in the Moon God Palace.

"I wonder what kind of connection my master has with the Moon God Palace," Qi Yuan mused.

His master, Ruan Yixi, had left behind a Moon Token, a token of the Moon God Palace.

This meant that his master, Ruan Yixi, also had a deep connection with the Moon God Palace.

"Could it be... my master is Jin Li?"

Qi Yuan speculated, then shook his head.

Knowing Jin Li's temperament, if she knew it was him, she would have come to see him long ago.

"Anyway, I have an inseparable bond with this Moon God Palace."

"Man with his back turned, when I go to the upper realm to cleanse its atmosphere, I'll start with your father.

I'm a nice person, and I can't bear to see white-haired people sending off the black-haired ones, so I'll reunite you all."

Qi Yuan's figure flickered, emerging from the Heavenly Kun Ancient Mirror.

Looking at the ancient mirror before him, he squinted his eyes, "If I keep this ancient mirror, wouldn't it mean... when I reach the upper realm, if I'm close enough, the man with his back turned's father could sense me?

This mirror can't be discarded!"

The Heavenly Kun Ancient Mirror is also a powerful treasure that can nourish the soul.

Otherwise, the man with his back turned wouldn't have survived.

"I could place the Nascent Souls into the ancient mirror. Who knows... maybe their former self will awaken."

In the Mortal Heart Realm, all the innate gods had transformed into his Nascent Souls.

They were him, and he was Qi Yuan.

Currently, they were still in a dormant state, unable to exert their full strength.

When they fully awaken, they will be able to recover their power.

Moreover, if Qi Yuan appears in the upper realm and is given enough time, these Nascent Souls could even break through to the Yang God realm.

These Nascent Souls are evolving entities.

"Absorb," Qi Yuan waved his hand.

At that moment, the Heavenly Kun Ancient Mirror shrank and entered his dantian.

"If I returned to Blue Planet now, I'd surely be an incredible doctor capable of performing any transplant surgery!"

But then Qi Yuan realized something. He didn't know anything about medicine, didn't even have a certificate. Even if someone was ill, he wouldn't know what disease they had.

But this problem was easily solved.

"If I became a doctor, I'd just diagnose everyone with kidney deficiency!"

It's never wrong to say someone has kidney deficiency.

Qi Yuan felt pleased with his own cleverness.

"Get inside," Qi Yuan waved his hand again.

The five thousand Nascent Souls seemed to hear his command and all entered the ancient mirror.

The ancient mirror also entered Qi Yuan's dantian at that moment.

The Heavenly Kun Ancient Mirror had the effect of nourishing the soul, so Qi Yuan decided to put the Nascent Souls in there to cultivate.

After finishing all this, Qi Yuan looked at the Yin God corpses in the Phoenix Palace and frowned, "Feng Tian Domain... It's too tragic. All the Yin Gods are dead.

Doesn't that mean... we can hold a feast?"

Qi Yuan felt a little downhearted.

People in Feng Tian Domain could have a feast, but he had to go to the Dark Sun headquarters and couldn't even join the feast.

...

Unknown world.

The female doctor in a white coat looked at the young man before her. A tired look in her eyes showed a hint of regret. "Qi Yuan, remember to take your medicine on time."

"I'm not sick, so I'm not taking any medicine," the Qi Yuan, formed by the innate seed, said without hesitation.

At this moment, a kind robot spoke, "These are candies, not medicine. You're not sick."

Only then did Qi Yuan sit down, a proud look on his face. Suddenly, he began to carefully observe the female doctor's eyes, staring intently into them without moving.

For some reason, the female doctor suddenly felt a sense of oppression, as if she were facing some legendary figure.

The young man in front of her suddenly said, "I'm not sick, but you are."

The female doctor smiled at Qi Yuan's words and didn't take them to heart, "How is your sister sick?"

"You've been having nightmares recently!"

The female doctor's hand, which was writing, paused.

Was it a coincidence?

Recently, she had indeed been having nightmares.

This had led to her being in a bad state recently.

She thought it was because of the high pressure at work.

"What kind of dream has your sister been having?" the female doctor asked with a smile.

She didn't take Qi Yuan's words seriously.

When Qi Yuan's parents were expecting him, they were attacked by a powerful entity, causing brain damage to the fetus.

Coupled with being raised by a robotic society, lacking fatherly and motherly love, his personality became quite eccentric, and he developed severe delusional disorder.

The words of a mentally ill person shouldn't be taken seriously.

How could he possibly know about her dreams?

Her recent dreams had been incredibly bizarre and strange.

She never thought she would have such dreams.

"You dreamed of a... a big red bird, its feathers plucked off, bloody, flying endlessly in the dark void... and it was making a very... joyful noise!" Qi Yuan's voice was calm.

The female doctor was suddenly startled, "What did you say?"

She was truly shocked.

Because her dream was exactly as Qi Yuan described!

That bloody bird kept crying, and its voice seemed joyful.

The cry was strange.

According to the pronunciation, it sounded very much like the words "Zhong Qi" (重七).

She hadn't paid attention to it before, but hearing Qi Yuan say it like this...

Could it be... that things aren't as simple as they seem?

"Zhong Qi" could also mean "reboot" (重启), "inflate" (充气), or even "favor a wife" (宠妻)?

"That's why you're sick!" Qi Yuan sat in the chair with a gentle smile on his face.

The female doctor was incredibly shocked.

She didn't understand how Qi Yuan could know about her dreams.

But... Qi Yuan was clearly just an ordinary person.

Although many elites emerged from his classmates, he was just an ordinary mental patient.

"What kind of sickness do I have?" the female doctor couldn't help but ask.

"You have... kidney deficiency!" Qi Yuan said seriously.

The female doctor was immediately speechless.

Sure enough, one shouldn't put hope in a mental patient.

With doubts in her heart, the female doctor gave the robot a few instructions before leaving Qi Yuan's home.

In the large room, only Qi Yuan remained. No, there was also a robot.

Qi Yuan returned to his room.

His home was a standard three-bedroom, one-living room apartment left by his parents, who died in battle.

His room was over twenty square meters in size, containing just a bed, a computer, and a wardrobe. It was quite simple, with very few belongings.

Suddenly, he grabbed his head and squatted on the ground, "Reboot!"

A vision of a bird flying across the sky flashed through his mind.

His pupils seemed to fill with blood, his eyes becoming bloodshot.

The blood vessels grew thicker and thicker, his eyeballs seemed about to burst, looking particularly terrifying.

Blood streaks also appeared beneath his eyes.

Back in the Canglan Realm, Qi Yuan squinted his eyes.

"Innate seed... seems to be in a bad state... is it about to die?"

Qi Yuan was stunned.

Currently, he couldn't sense what was happening to the innate seed in the game world.

If he were to enter the game, he could fully accept everything there.

The power gained in that world would also reflect back onto his main body, not as insignificant as before.

However, now he felt that the innate seed wasn't in a good state, its life force was extremely fragile, as if it was about to die.

His consciousness entered the game jade slip.

At the moment, the new game world was still loading and was not yet fully rendered.

This time, the game icon was a little different from before.

This time, the icon seemed to depict a bird with its skin peeled off.

"I hope that when I enter the game, the innate seed hasn’t died yet. Otherwise, it’s over," Qi Yuan remarked casually.

Since the game was still loading, he couldn't interfere.

So, for now, it was better not to worry about it and focus on dealing with the Dark Sun first.

He glanced at the corpses in the Phoenix Palace, then returned to the Seeking Dao Palace without hesitation.

"Sword God, you're back so soon?"

Seeing Qi Yuan, Old Man Seven Wounds looked surprised.

Qi Yuan had just left a short while ago, and he was already back.

Nothing really happened in the Phoenix Palace?

"There was an incident in the Phoenix Palace!" Qi Yuan said sternly, his face serious, with a look of regret in his eyes. "Great Lord Jasmine conspired with a mysterious powerhouse to kill all the invited Yin Gods!

After I arrived, that mysterious powerhouse tried to pull the same trick on me!

But I counterattacked and killed them, along with Great Lord Jasmine!

Now, the Phoenix Palace is littered with Yin God corpses. Gather some people to take care of them."

Qi Yuan spoke quickly, briefly explaining the events that happened in the Phoenix Palace to Old Man Seven Wounds.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Seven Wounds was shocked. "They are all dead?"

"Yes, they’re all dead. What a pity. I have to go to the Dark Sun and can't join their feast. Remember to give them a proper send-off and make it grand," Qi Yuan added.

Old Man Seven Wounds fell silent, many thoughts running through his mind.

He was somewhat skeptical of what Qi Yuan had said.

Great Lord Jasmine colluded with some mysterious powerhouse?

In this world, there are only so many strong people. How many mysterious powerhouses could there be?

He even suspected that because these people had offended Blood-Robed Sword God last time, he had wiped them all out.

Thinking about this, he grew even more fearful of Blood-Robed Sword God.

This is exactly the sort of thing that a god of slaughter like Blood-Robed Sword God would do.

After explaining everything to Old Man Seven Wounds, Qi Yuan gave further instructions to Feng Jun to arrange for the invitation of Great Lord Wisdom to Qinghong City.

Now, the number of cultivation techniques Qi Yuan had obtained was enough.

He intended to continue advancing the Qi Yuan Sutra.

He had a good idea of the path to the Purple Mansion.

After all, he had already become a Supreme in the Flowing Wind World.

However, as the saying goes, "Three ordinary people together can come up with strategies as good as Zhuge Liang."

Qi Yuan felt he should borrow the brilliant mind of Great Lord Wisdom, which might provide unexpected benefits.

Once everything was arranged, Qi Yuan observed the bustling scene of preparations for the feast at Seeking Dao Palace. He felt a deep sense of sadness.

He couldn’t join the feast.

But he wasn't foolish. Before leaving, he secretly stashed away a pork knuckle to eat on the way to the Dark Sun headquarters.

...

You Tian Domain.

A branch of Seeking Dao Palace.

Over a hundred projections of Yin Gods were seated.

Most of these Yin Gods were Great Sovereigns, with the weakest among them at the third step of Treading Heaven.

These Yin Gods were almost entirely the representatives of the Yin God factions in the area governed by Seeking Dao Palace.

There are thirty-three domains in the Canglan Realm, and the Seeking Dao Palace covers twenty of them.

Besides the Central Heaven Domain and a few others, where the influence of Seeking Dao Palace hasn't reached, they have branches everywhere else.

At this moment, the chief palace master of Seeking Dao Palace, dressed in a purple robe and looking quite refined, asked, "What do you all think of the Origin God Sharing Society?"

Initially, the palace master of Seeking Dao Palace had refused to consider Blood-Robed Sword God's intention to collect all the world's cultivation methods.

In his view, the great calamity was inevitable.

Even if the techniques were toxic, what of it?

A small Great Sovereign daring to challenge the great calamity?

He might have commended his bravery.

But involving himself in collecting all the world's techniques and trading them for methods from the Origin God Sharing Society was something he wouldn't do.

Moreover, since the Dark Sun had already sent the Four Generals of the Lei Family to kill Blood-Robed Sword God, the palace master naturally believed that Blood-Robed Sword God wouldn’t survive this calamity.

Hence, the notion of the Origin God Sharing Society collecting all techniques was just wishful thinking. He casually sent an envoy to deal with it.

But things didn't go as expected.

Blood-Robed Sword God had actually slain the Four Generals of the Lei Family!

Each of the Lei Family's Four Generals was a peak expert at the sixth step of Treading Heaven, yet they were killed by Blood-Robed Sword God.

The strength of Blood-Robed Sword God was beyond his expectations.

With no Myth-level experts appearing, Blood-Robed Sword God was already the strongest in the Canglan Realm.

Thus, when Qi Yuan later sent Great Sovereign Wu Jun to contact Seeking Dao Palace, this time, the palace master gave him some respect and contacted several major faction leaders.

"Blood-Robed Sword God possesses power comparable to a Myth. Since he dares to strike against the Dark Sun, he must have some assurance," an elder with a kindly smile spoke. "I am willing to join the Origin God Sharing Society and provide some minor techniques, to support Blood-Robed Sword God."

"I'm afraid Blood-Robed Sword God doesn't understand the terror of the Dark Sun.

Although we are not in the Central Heaven Domain, the Dark Sun has a Myth overseeing it!

I, for one, won't step into these troubled waters," said the head of the Divine Flower Society.

The headquarters of the Divine Flower Society was also located in You Tian Domain.

Once the head of the Divine Flower Society spoke, the atmosphere in the hall became tense, especially among the Great Sovereigns from You Tian Domain.
