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

Chapter 89: A Flick to the Forehead for White Moonlight

In the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm.

Breaking Wolf looked at the five Foundation Establishment cultivators in front of him, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.

"Is this the best you can do, even when united?"

He had just encountered several people from the Divine Light Sect, the Floating Mountain, and other sects, and easily repelled them.

Five late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators together could even make some Golden Core cultivators cautious.

But Breaking Wolf, using his Radiant Sword, easily forced the five to retreat.

Kang Fulou, with blood at the corner of his mouth, looked extremely wary. "As expected of someone from the Light Palace!"

Lei Wen and Miao Li were also badly injured.

The sword cultivators of Floating Mountain were always known for their unmatched offensive power, but they seemed powerless compared to Breaking Wolf's Radiant Sword.

"Didn't you boast in the grand hall for me to remember you, white-haired man?" Breaking Wolf held his glowing long sword, shining as if wrapped in sunlight. "Where is that junior brother of yours now? Is he hiding somewhere? Did he dig a hole and bury himself like a quail as soon as he entered the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm?"

Miao Li gritted her teeth, her eyes coldly staring at Breaking Wolf.

Breaking Wolf's mouth curled into a smile. "It seems he is indeed scared. Since he doesn't dare to come out, I'll start by killing you!"

Kang Fulou waved his dust whisk. "I am the son-in-law of the sect master of the Divine Light Sect, the personal disciple of the peak master of the Five Light Peak. Do you really think you can kill me?"

His white hair was subtly changing, turning black.

Suddenly, Breaking Wolf's eyes showed a trace of seriousness. "Hmph, you're lucky this time."

Breaking Wolf quickly transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from sight.

Miao Li looked confused. "What's going on? Why did he leave suddenly?"

Lei Wen glanced at Kang Fulou, his eyes full of deep wariness.

At this moment, Kang Fulou turned around, a look of surprise on his face. "Uncle Master Li Xiao, Uncle Master Pang Long, why are you here?"

In the distance, several large groups of white light were flying towards them rapidly.

In just a few breaths, dozens of cultivators from the Divine Light Sect landed there.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with a greenish face, Li Xiao.

Seeing Kang Fulou, Li Xiao felt relieved.

"You are still alive, thank goodness."

"Uncle Master, how did you enter the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm? Did something happen outside?" Kang Fulou quickly asked.

The sudden arrival of the uncle masters meant something significant must have happened.

Li Xiao truthfully told the crowd about the events outside.

Everyone's faces turned extremely grim upon hearing the news.

"The old emperor faked his death and secretly colluded with the Red Sword Sect?" Kang Fulou realized something, understanding everything. "So it wasn't the second prince who killed the fifth prince and others. It was actually the old emperor!"

Kang Fulou quickly led Li Xiao and the others to see the bodies killed by the Remorseful Dragon Hand.

Li Xiao's face turned as dark as water upon seeing them.

The usually low-key Pang Long spoke, "I can sense the aura of a Nascent Soul."

"What? The old emperor has become a Nascent Soul?" Kang Fulou's face changed unpredictably.

A Nascent Soul, lurking in the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm, was terrifying to imagine.

"It's good you are still alive. Let's leave the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm quickly," Li Xiao decisively said.

At this moment, Pang Long spoke again, "Where is Qi Yuan?"

Among the crowd, there was no sign of Qi Yuan.

"Junior Brother Qi Yuan should have gone to find the old emperor's allies. It's my fault. I underestimated the risks of the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm." When Qi Yuan mentioned the Soul Thought Flower, Kang Fulou realized its value.

Qi Yuan had left without stating his reason, but Kang Fulou guessed he went to find the second prince's allies to seize the Soul Thought Flowers.

As a senior brother, Kang Fulou did not want to take away something his junior brother wanted, so he didn't say anything at the time.

"What? He went to find the old emperor's allies?" Li Xiao was anxious.

"Uncle Master Li Xiao, please lead the others out of the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm. As the sect master's son-in-law and the personal disciple of the peak master of the Five Light Peak, I must bring my junior brother back!" Kang Fulou said righteously.

Li Xiao stood silently, pondering. "Pang Long, you take them back. I'll go with Kang Fulou to find Qi Yuan."

......

In the Land of the Sunken Coffin.

The purple-robed old man emitted a terrifying aura.

Suddenly, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He glanced deeply behind him, his eyes bloodshot.

A crystal coffin was entwined with liquid-like spiritual energy, surrounded by countless vines.

Just now, a mysterious force was pulling, as if trying to extract the crystal coffin.

But then, the force dissipated like a deflated balloon.

"Who!"

The purple-robed old man roared in anger. He had been trying for days, but it was futile.

He understood that the method given by that great cultivator was useless.

Useless as it was, he kept trying, but the borrowed power from the strongholds suddenly dissipated, leaving no chance.

Furious, he left the place, unable to vent his rage.

Meanwhile, outside the stronghold, Qi Yuan looked up, a relaxed smile in his eyes.

"The big guy still loves me, sending an alternative Nascent Soul to test my strength?"

Of course, Qi Yuan also knew that the big guy's love was limited.

If given the chance, he would definitely kick Qi Yuan out of the wooden house.

Qi Yuan, holding his cleaver, stood on the grassy field, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

In the sky, the purple-robed figure rapidly approached, stopping a mile away from Qi Yuan.

"It's you, Qi Yuan?!" The purple-robed old man looked incredulous.

He smelled the thick scent of blood.

This meant that all three hundred death warriors were killed!
He couldn't understand it.

Why was Qi Yuan here?

Even if Qi Yuan was Ruan Yixi's son, it shouldn't be like this.

Could it be that Ruan Yixi's cultivation level...

Fear crept into the purple-robed old man's heart.

But remembering that this was the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm, where those over a hundred years old couldn't enter, he regained his confidence.

Now, he was a Nascent Soul!

"You killed them all?" Feeling in control, the purple-robed old man looked at Qi Yuan.

"Yes, they're all underfoot," Qi Yuan said softly.

"Are you not afraid of me?" The old man felt a bit worried but, remembering his nearing death and Nascent Soul strength, his worry dissipated. "Can you tell me how you managed to kill them all?"

"Because I... am a Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment!" Qi Yuan said confidently.

"A Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment?" The old man's eyes showed astonishment, then despair.

He believed Qi Yuan.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why all three hundred death warriors were dead.

He didn't know how strong a Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment was, but even the East Land's Heaven's Pride List's Foundation Establishment cultivators could kill Golden Core cultivators.

A Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment killing Golden Core cultivators shouldn't be difficult.

"Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment, Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment..." The old man murmured, a look of relief on his face. "It seems all my schemes were in vain."

A Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment meant there was at least a terrifying existence at the Yin God level behind Ruan Yixi or Qi Yuan.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to capture the Heaven Vein Qi.

With a Yin God-level supreme backing, all his plans were futile.

However, a vicious look appeared in his eyes. "Taking a Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment with me to accompany my Great Shang to the grave is not bad!"

Qi Yuan's expression remained calm. "Aren't you overthinking? First, I won't be accompanying anyone to the grave. Second, the Great Shang won't fall. Why does it need to? Only you will die. Do you think you represent the Great Shang? Have you been emperor for too long, brainwashed by feudal thinking?"

The stubborn old emperor, in his last moments, wasn't thinking clearly.

Powerful Nascent Soul mana erupted at that moment.

"The Great Shang is mine!"

With this roar, power ten times greater than a Golden Core surged towards Qi Yuan.

The old emperor used his most powerful divine ability, the Remorseful Dragon Hand!
The biggest difference between Nascent Soul cultivators and lower-level cultivators is that they can use divine abilities through their Nascent Soul.

A divine ability is an advanced spell.

A Nascent Soul cultivator's divine ability can instantly wipe out an entire small county of ordinary people.

A giant dragon claw condensed above Qi Yuan's head, emitting a power far surpassing that of a Golden Core.

The claw was sharp and lethal, capable of crushing a Golden Core cultivator, making their Golden Core explode.

Qi Yuan felt an intense sense of threat.

"Indeed, my Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment isn't the strongest, as I didn't defeat that big guy. Even a Nascent Soul can threaten me!"

Without thinking, Qi Yuan faced it head-on.

Though his Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment power seemed limited, what was revealed was still remarkable.

The Remorseful Dragon Hand and Qi Yuan's cleaver clashed fiercely.

Surprisingly, the surrounding environment remained mostly intact.

At the Nascent Soul level, mana was fully controlled, with no waste in an attack, causing minimal collateral damage.

All the mana was directed at the opponent.
The cleaver and the Remorseful Dragon Hand clashed evenly.

The old man's face showed horror. "What kind of monster are you?"

Even a powerful Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment shouldn't withstand a Nascent Soul!
Though his Nascent Soul was weak, it was still a genuine Nascent Soul.

Two family Nascent Souls spent their lifespans passing down the law to him, and a great cultivator sent a decree to help.

Yet, his seemingly full-force divine ability was blocked?
"Indeed, a Nascent Soul old monster!" Qi Yuan shouted. "One strike of the Remorseful Dragon Hand burst my blood vessels!"

It was the first time Qi Yuan got injured since entering the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm.

He recognized the Nascent Soul's strength.

The old emperor looked at Qi Yuan, suspicious. He didn't seem to have injured Qi Yuan at all.

What burst blood vessels? He didn't see any.

"My capillaries, you're so pitiful." Qi Yuan waved his hand, showing the old emperor, as if accusing him of a crime.

Without the accusation, his capillaries would heal soon.

"You scoundrel, dare to insult me!" The old emperor was furious.

He recalled his repressed life.

As the supreme ruler, he had no real power!

The Great Shang was entirely controlled by the three major sects.

He endured humiliation, suffered endless insults.

Now, he was being humiliated by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He snapped.

Unable to bear it, he roared and charged at Qi Yuan!

Qi Yuan wasn't surprised.

After a lifetime of repression, going mad before death wasn't unexpected.
"I've gauged my strength, so... your mission is complete. You can leave now."

Having tested the Nascent Soul old monster's strength, Qi Yuan was unafraid.

He could kill him easily!

With that, Qi Yuan turned on the music from his jade slip.

The emperor's end deserved a soundtrack.

Holding his cleaver, Qi Yuan charged at the old emperor.

"Watch me, Radiant Sword!"

Choosing the most balanced Radiant Sword among many secret techniques, Qi Yuan sent the old emperor on his way.

The holy Radiant Sword, disguised with boundless blood energy, emitted endless radiance.

This sword, unleashed by a cleaver, struck the old emperor.

Boom!
The old emperor fell from the sky, his aura rapidly declining.

From early Nascent Soul, to late Golden Core, to mid-Golden Core, finally stopping at late Foundation Establishment.

His face, old and frail, was full of death. He looked at Qi Yuan, eyes full of resentment. "If I had your background, why would I end up like this?
Why is this world so unfair?

You, a mere child, live in luxury, protected by masters, your life smooth. Even a playboy can become a Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment.

Why, why!"

He endured countless humiliations, unyielding, yet met such an end.

He was unwilling.

Qi Yuan looked at the old emperor, speaking calmly. "I don't know your past, so I won't judge you. I'll just send you to the afterlife."

The old emperor coughed, muddy blood spilling from his mouth. "You also seek the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm, right?
Hehe, I failed. In one more hour, that crystal coffin will be transported away!

I can't get it, and neither will you!"

With that, the old emperor tilted his head, dying there, his face full of unwillingness.

The mighty emperor of a vast dynasty, silently died there.

Qi Yuan stood beside the old emperor, holding his cleaver, deep in thought.

"What a pity, he didn't carry anything valuable, not even techniques to enhance the soul."

Qi Yuan was disappointed.

Killing the old emperor, he gained nothing substantial.

His only gain was understanding his strength level.

"Is the Black Chicken Old Demon at late Nascent Soul? Still troublesome!" Qi Yuan sighed.

The Black Chicken Old Demon remained a looming threat.

It was all that big guy's fault for not letting him fully achieve the Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment.

Otherwise, as the Ice Queen said, a true Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment could speak things into reality.

Killing the Black Chicken Old Demon would be as easy as killing a chicken.

After about a hundred breaths, a stream of light fell from the sky.

Breaking Wolf, in a white robe, appeared near Qi Yuan, his face full of delight. "From afar, I sensed the aura of the Radiant Sword. So, you are from the Divine Flower Sect."

The previously despondent Qi Yuan brightened up seeing Breaking Wolf. "White Moonlight, you're finally here."

Breaking Wolf glanced at the corpse beside Qi Yuan, a mocking smile on his lips. "Using the Radiant Sword to kill a late Foundation Establishment cultivator. Your strength is just so-so.

Today, I'll show you what the true Radiant Sword is!"

Not knowing the corpse was a Nascent Soul, Breaking Wolf continued.

"To die by the Radiant Sword is an honor!"

As someone in the top seven hundred of the East Land's Heaven's Pride List, his version of the Radiant Sword was superior to Qi Yuan's.

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up. "So this is the advanced version of the Radiant Sword. It will be mine!"

"Indeed, as Lu Fei said, your head has some issues. Do you think I'm as foolish as Zhu Lianhua?" On his way, Breaking Wolf encountered two from the Devil Desire Sect, killing them both.

Through Lu Fei, he learned how to enter the Land of the Sunken Coffin and more about the situation.

Like, the mad Qi Yuan was in the Land of the Sunken Coffin.

Not knowing Lu Fei was diverting disaster before her death, Breaking Wolf didn't care.

Arrogance and prejudice as Heaven's Pride made him disdain the so-called geniuses of the Great Shang.

The Radiant Sword unleashed!

Breaking Wolf's body emitted a holy aura.

"My sword can kill Golden Core!"

With that, he struck.

He wanted these locals to see what true Heaven's Pride was.

A giant light sword descended from the sky, heading straight for Qi Yuan.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan shook his head. "Using the Radiant Sword to kill Golden Core, such a waste.

To kill you, I need no knife or sword, just a flick."

Qi Yuan extended his thumb and middle finger.

Snap!
His middle finger flicked, colliding with the terrifying light sword.

Crack!

The powerful light sword shattered instantly.

The force of the flick landed on Breaking Wolf's forehead.

Pop!
Breaking Wolf's heart and soul shattered with the light sword. His face showed disbelief as he heard the young man's murmur.

"At your feet are hundreds of Golden Core cultivators."

"The one I just killed with the Radiant Sword was a Nascent Soul."

"You are my White Moonlight. I can't bear to use a knife or sword on you, only a gentle flick."

"Was I gentle enough today?"

"Oh no, too much force. The flick killed my White Moonlight."

Qi Yuan smiled, walking towards Breaking Wolf.

Breaking Wolf's face showed disbelief. He wanted to speak but couldn't.

In his heart, he whispered: Madman.

His breath ceased.

Qi Yuan bent down, collecting his spoils.

"Nice, lots of spirit stones."

Killing those death warriors and the old emperor yielded nothing but Soul Thought Flowers.

Finally, White Moonlight brought valuable items.

"White Moonlight is so kind, bringing so many gifts. How can I accept this?"

Qi Yuan rummaged through Breaking Wolf's storage bag.

He found seven Jade Grade techniques, two Mystic Grade techniques, and an advanced version of the Radiant Sword.

"Jackpot!" Qi Yuan felt this trip to the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm was worth it.

These techniques, once fully absorbed, would enhance his insight when viewing other techniques.

His "Qi Yuan Sutra" could progress further.

"Plus the Soul Thought Flowers, it's a double blessing!"

The Soul Thought Flowers could enhance the soul, boosting Qi Yuan's combat power and increasing his chances of entering the second game.

"Alright, the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm is fully cleared. Time to leave."

"No, I should check out the crystal coffin the old emperor was scheming about."

"What if it's filled with Soul Thought Flowers? Triple blessing?"
