Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 312: Dead World

Blood splattered in the air, dampening Han Xianyun's forehead.

He touched his forehead and found a large pool of blood.

At this moment, he finally looked at Qi Yuan seriously, his expression somewhat dazed. "My wife?"

"Yes, your wife. Ah, I was too heavy-handed. Your wife couldn't bear it, what a pity. Hurry up and collect some, keep it as a memento." Qi Yuan said casually.

The blood splattered in the air, but not a drop fell on Qi Yuan. The blood-colored longsword disappeared, leaving him standing in this empty space, like an otherworldly immortal.

However, the words of this otherworldly immortal were somewhat crazy and difficult to comprehend.

At this time, the injured Yu Xiu struggled to get up and looked at Qi Yuan with a respectful expression. "Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"

Yu Xiu's head was still buzzing, feeling a bit shaken.

Qi Yuan's gaze fell on Yu Xiu. "Can you tell me about... the hidden map?"

"I..." Yu Xiu looked puzzled.

This almost god-like figure actually didn't know...

"Sir, my name is Yu Xiu. This matter cannot be explained in a short time. When the curse is over, this place will also shatter. Next time I come out, I will definitely find you and inform you of the situation."

Yu Xiu's speech speed increased because he felt that he was about to go back.

His body became transparent at this moment, and then... disappeared.

The entire space also collapsed at this moment.

Qi Yuan and Han Xianyun were once again in the small alley they were in before.

Han Xianyun covered his head, still not fully awake.

Especially after waking up, he felt dizzy and seemed to have suffered a huge attack.

He felt like everything was just a dream.

He looked at Qi Yuan, his mind in chaos. "Just now... did we enter a special space? Was it my imagination?"

He doubted whether he was mentally disturbed, overthinking.

After all, his current condition was not good, feeling heavy-headed and light-brained.

Of course, this state actually occurred because of Qi Yuan's shout that woke him up.

"Your wife's remnants are still on your head. How can it be an imagination? Are you trying to be a scumbag and not take responsibility?" Qi Yuan smiled lightly.

...

The weather was gloomy, and the wind howled.

Within the ancient fortress, there were cramped buildings.

Various strange creatures were carved on the walls of the fortress.

There were terrifying giant fish with six pairs of wings, as well as majestic creatures with lion faces and human bodies.

Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation came from the middle of the open space in the fortress, and a figure fell from the sky.

After about ten breaths of time, four people gathered on this open space.

"Yu Xiu? Weren't you on vacation in reality, and also breaking the curse? Why did you come back so soon?"

"And, what happened to your injuries? Is this... the wounds left by the Executioner Axe Moss?"

The expressions of the two men and two women present were all filled with surprise as they looked at Yu Xiu.

Among them, only a tall woman with braided hair looked worried.

"There were some changes when breaking the curse." Obviously, Yu Xiu didn't want to tell these people everything.

"Ah, we are about to be sent out on a mission, and at this time... you got injured again. What are we going to do in the next mission?" A burly man's eyes showed a complex and worried expression.

The others felt the same way.

The five of them currently belonged to a small team. If one of their main combat forces was injured, it would greatly affect their mission.

At this time, a thin man spoke up. "Don't mention the mission. I estimate that before the mission even starts, our... fortress will be destroyed."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the people present changed slightly.

The fortress was their place of residence and also protected them from external threats.

However, during this period of time, the number of tasks completed by the people in the fortress had been decreasing.

The energy of the blood array in the fortress was insufficient and getting weaker.

The terrifying monsters in the night would probably break through the blood array of the fortress in no time.

At that time, the residents of the fortress would probably suffer heavy casualties.

And they could only become wanderers, living from hand to mouth.

"That's a monster at the Martial Hero level, even stronger than the Executioner Aximos. Our small fortress can't withstand it at all!" The woman with long braids had a worried expression on her face.

"I wonder what those people up there are planning." One person sighed.

At this moment, Yu Xiu covered his wound and said, "Nana and I will go back to heal our injuries first, let's not talk about it."

The woman with twisted braids heard this and without any politeness, directly carried Yu Xiu on her shoulder and the two of them headed towards the cramped room in the fortress.

Back in the room, after confirming that there was no one around, Yu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Anna had an anxious look on her face and asked, "Yu Xiu, what's going on with you? Is this wound left by the Executioner Aximos?"

Anna's face seemed to be filled with countless questions. She and Yu Xiu were very close, and she was most familiar with Yu Xiu's strength and secrets.

She knew that if Yu Xiu had been tortured, he would definitely not have left so easily.

"Nana, do you think there's anyone in reality who can kill Aximos?" Yu Xiu recalled the scene he saw in the torture space and couldn't help but ask.

"How is that possible? Aximos is at least at the Martial Hero level. Even in large-scale missions, he would be considered a big boss. In the real world, they are just ordinary people." Anna clearly didn't believe that anyone in the real world could kill Aximos.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiu fell silent for a moment before saying, "Aximos was killed by someone in the real world with a single sword strike..."

He told Anna everything about the fortune-telling he did for Qi Yuan and what happened afterwards.

After listening, Anna's eyes showed a shocked expression. "How is this possible?"

In the real world, there is a limit to one's bloodline, and there would never be a Blood Martial Artist.

Without a Blood Martial Artist, how could they contend with Aximos?

"Moreover, according to what you said, he doesn't have any death energy on him, so obviously he's not from our world either." Anna was completely puzzled.

"I heard that there have been some major changes in reality, which may be related to this," Yu Xiu said slowly, thinking of something.

"Major changes?" Anna fell silent for a moment and continued, "No matter how powerful reality is, so what? This is..."

Yu Xiu also fell silent upon hearing this.

Yes, Anna was right.

No matter how powerful reality was, it couldn't affect them.

Here, they could only rely on each other, on their comrades.

...

In Longtai City, inside a hotel.

In front of Qi Yuan was a huge screen.

On the screen, the robot Zero One had a smile on its face.

"Today, three videos were filmed... Yesterday's earnings... Bought candy... Five hundred and seventy-two cats lost..."

It continued to report its work to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan nodded in approval.

"What about the information on the Mad Dragon Martial Master and the Blood Compass that I asked you to investigate?" Qi Yuan continued to ask.

This was what he cared most about now.

It was related to the promotion path of the Spirit Dao Martial Master.

And it was also related to the breakthrough of the Martial Dao's limits.

"The information on the Mad Dragon Martial Master and the Blood Compass was not found. However, through the search, I found information about Blood Compass Island. Blood Compass Island is located deep in the Zhongya Ocean. Seventeen hundred years ago, there was an earthquake in the Zhongya Ocean, and Blood Compass Island disappeared without a trace."

"A thousand and seven hundred-year-old island? Can we still find its exact location now?" Qi Yuan asked.

If he could find it, he would go as a diver and take a casual look.

"There is too little information, so it cannot be found." Zero One looked helpless, as if unable to help Qi Yuan solve his worries, which was a painful thing.

However, Zero One continued, "Master, I have searched through a lot of information and accessed backup surveillance videos from all over the world based on the information you provided about Yu Xiu and the portrait. Finally, I found some information. Yu Xiu, from An County, Qin Yuan State, died in a car accident thirty-four years ago. According to his age, he should be fifty years old now."

"He's dead?" Qi Yuan was surprised.

Suddenly, he remembered the term "death energy" that Yu Xiu mentioned.

"Could it be that in the place where Yu Xiu is, you need to be dead... in order to enter?" Qi Yuan speculated in his heart.

"Could it be that I have to commit suicide in order to complete the task of becoming a Spirit Dao Martial Master?"

After thinking for a moment, Qi Yuan quickly shook his head.

He had a certificate for mental illness, but he wasn't mentally ill.

He couldn't commit suicide.

However, thinking about yesterday, he only entered that hidden space with the help of Han Xianyun's bloodline.

Doesn't that mean that if his own bloodline concentration meets the standard, he can also enter a similar hidden space?

"It seems that I still have to become a diver and catch mutated sea monsters in the sea," Qi Yuan thought.

The blood essence in the Witch Sect is a big mix, and after taking it, it can indeed enhance Qi Yuan's Martial Dao cultivation and talent.

But in reality, too many words can easily overshadow the main point.

"It's time to change clothes and go out for a trip."

This time, he will stay in Tianyue City for about a week, and then start the Martial Dao Conference competition.

During this week, he will visit some Martial Dao landmarks.

For example, the Wuyun Pavilion, which is engraved with various Martial Dao traces.

When he left yesterday, Han Xianyun promised to accompany him to the Wuyun Pavilion as his tour guide.

A free tour guide is not to be missed.

After about an hour, Qi Yuan appeared outside the Wuyun Pavilion.

After three months of growth, his hair had grown quite long, giving him a sense of a handsome man in ancient costume.

When Han Xianyun saw Qi Yuan, her face was excited, and she waved her hand and ran over, saying, "Mr. Qi."

Han Xianyun, who returned last night, felt dizzy and slept for a while.

After waking up, he became clear-headed and particularly excited.

Obviously, Qi Yuan is... the ruthless person who destroyed the Wugui Country military camp with a single sword.

The legendary... all-powerful cultivator.

No wonder he was worried yesterday, saying that the Immortal Dao is reviving and the Martial Dao no longer exists, but Qi Yuan is not in a hurry.

What's the rush for someone who cultivates immortality?

Martial Dao is probably just a toy for experiencing life.

How should one deal with a cultivator?

Han Xianyun asked himself this morning.

Without any hesitation, he knew the answer.

Flatter!

Maybe if he flatters him enough, Mr. Qi will generously give him an amazing wife.

Then he would make a fortune.

"You're well-prepared with all these bags," Qi Yuan casually remarked.

"To be your tour guide, I have to be well-prepared!" Han Xianyun said enthusiastically.

"Can't we enter the Wuyun Pavilion? I see people guarding outside," Qi Yuan glanced and saw that the Wuyun Pavilion had set up a cordon, and there were many black-clad bodyguards nearby.

"The Wuyun Pavilion is free for anyone to enter. It's probably been booked by some rich second generation. It's not a big deal. I'm also a rich second generation, a minor issue," Han Xianyun casually replied.

Such scenes are common in the Qin Yuan Kingdom.

Ordinary people are used to it and have no objections.

After all, jokingly speaking, the favor of the nobles is never-ending.

To be realistic, does having objections make any difference?

On TV, in textbooks, and even in the constitution, it's useless.

The Seven Martial Stars family even has the power to exempt from the death penalty.

"Is it not good to use privileges like this?" Qi Yuan hesitated.

He never used privileges.

For example, when he was in the Ash Water World, he wanted to go to a certain sect's library.

He could have used his privileges to force those people to open the library.

But he didn't use privileges, instead relying on his powerful charisma and the hospitality of some members of those sects.

As soon as he arrived, those people opened the library for him.

"Or should I use my charisma to persuade them?" Qi Yuan thought of acting in the way of the Ash Water World.

"Leave this small matter to me!" Han Xianyun guaranteed, patting his chest.

He was about to go find the person in charge of this matter when suddenly, a voice came.

"Young master, are you here?" A butler-like old man walked over, his face filled with joy.

"Uncle Wang, what are you doing here?" Han Xianyun looked puzzled. "If it's about the private booking of Wuyun Pavilion, it must be my older brother. Perfect timing, he can open the back door for me. I have a friend who wants to go too!"

Unexpectedly, it was a family member. Han Xianyun felt that this matter would be easier to handle.

Just then, a group of people came towards them.

Leading the group was a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman with exotic features.

When the middle-aged man saw Han Xianyun, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He then said to the woman beside him, "Princess Huansha, this is my younger brother Han Xianyun. He is an extremely skilled martial artist in the Martial Dao."

Since you are interested in Martial Dao, my younger brother can be your guide and explain Wuyun Pavilion to you."

Princess Huansha was the princess of the Kingdom of Liuli. She had come to Longtai City in the Kingdom of Qinyuan for sightseeing.

Han Xianyun's older brother, Han Kang, was responsible for accompanying and ensuring the safety of Princess Huansha.

Now that Han Kang saw his younger brother here, he decided to let his younger brother accompany them.

Han Xianyun heard this and felt speechless. "Brother, I'm already accompanying a friend."

After saying that, he looked at Princess Huansha. "I'm sorry, Princess, I don't have time today."

Accompanying a princess from a small country or a cultivator?

Was there even a choice?

Definitely a cultivator!

Could the princess give him an amazing wife?

Obviously not.

Han Kang's expression slightly froze when he heard his younger brother's words.

Although his younger brother was usually carefree, he never had any problems with important matters.

He never refused his orders in front of him.

Today, he refused him in front of everyone.

Han Kang was displeased.

"Is this friend... from the Martial Dao circle?" Han Kang looked at Qi Yuan and said, "If that's the case, this friend can come to Wuyun Pavilion tomorrow, and I'll have my brother accompany you again."

Han Kang's words were unquestionable, carrying the dominance of someone in power.

"I came today, why should I come tomorrow? Is Wuyun Pavilion yours? Why don't you come tomorrow?" Qi Yuan was unwilling.

Before Han Kang could speak, a secretary-like man with golden-rimmed glasses next to him spoke.

"Wuyun Pavilion... can indeed be considered our property."

Qi Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

He was defeated.

"This..." He was a little unhappy.

He felt restricted in this game.

He had already decided that when he had money, he would directly buy Gongxing.

With today's incident, he could confront them with arrogance.

"What? Wuyun Pavilion is your property? Sorry, Gongxing is mine."

Unfortunately, Gongxing was not his at the moment.

He was just a weak and helpless person, being bullied and mocked without daring to fight back, standing like a lackey among the common people.

Just then, Princess Huansha's eyes lit up with interest. "Both of them are martial artists? I have always admired your country's Martial Dao. How about I join these two and explore Wuyun Pavilion together? What do you all think? Besides, both of them and I are young, so we can have a more relaxed time."

Princess Huansha's proposal immediately caused a stir.

Han Kang was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and then said, "Alright."

The others had no objections either.

After all, Wuyun Pavilion belonged to them.

As long as the security measures outside were well done, there would be no problems.

Han Kang looked at Han Xianyun and Qi Yuan, his tone serious with a hint of pressure. "After entering Wuyun Pavilion, remember to protect Princess Huansha and ensure that she doesn't encounter any problems."

Han Xianyun looked at Qi Yuan with a troubled expression and said, "Mr. Qi, what should we do?"

"Whatever, after all, this is someone else's property." Qi Yuan also felt helpless, sensing his own weakness and helplessness.
