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

Chapter 83: The Moon God and News from the Moon Watching Continent

"Too expensive, it's really too expensive," Qi Yuan lamented.

How many houses can ten thousand spirit stones buy? Qi Yuan didn't know. But this jade slip was even more primitive than a mobile phone.

Jiang Lingsu's lips curled up. "Sister is rich."

"But it has too few functions. If it could do video calls and voice chats, it would be better," Qi Yuan elaborated, even thinking about copying Tencent QQ. "If we could send red packets and grab spirit stones, it would be more interesting."

Qi Yuan, like ordinary people, was particularly good at finding faults and making suggestions.

"Senior brother, you should just shut up!" Jiang Lingsu rolled her eyes at Qi Yuan. "Figure it out yourself. I'm tired and going back to sleep."

Her delicate hand slipped out of Qi Yuan's grasp, and Jiang Lingsu returned to her almost dilapidated thatched hut.

Qi Yuan, on the other hand, directed his spiritual consciousness towards the jade slip of the Divine Flower Association.

"Should I choose a nickname?"

"How about 'Faceless Swordsman'?"

"No, I was wearing a mask when I killed Chu Tianxiong."

"I founded the 'Qi Yuan Sutra,' I should be a revered Dao ancestor! Let's go with 'Origin Heaven Venerable!'"

Qi Yuan changed his nickname and entered the forum.

The forum had three sections: public, intermediate, and advanced.

Qi Yuan tried, but he could only access the public section.

He couldn't enter the intermediate and advanced sections.

"My contribution points are not enough to enter the intermediate section?"

Other sections of the Divine Flower Association required contribution points for access.

Contribution points were earned by contributing to the Divine Flower Association.

Currently, Qi Yuan's contribution points were zero, so he couldn't enter the other sections.

"Could there be any hidden sections?"

Qi Yuan mumbled to himself and entered the public section.

Instantly, information presented itself to Qi Yuan, much like posts on the forums of his previous life.

"Flying Swordsman's Foundation Establishment Cultivation Insights"

"Seeking to Purchase Grade One Foundation Establishment Spiritual Herb, Yuanlong Grass"

"Experiences from Training in the Chongshan Secret Realm"

"These titles are all very proper," Qi Yuan commented.

He clicked on the first post he saw, the one about Foundation Establishment cultivation insights.

The poster was named Flying Swordsman.

The post mentioned that Flying Swordsman was a mid-grade Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Earth Vein.

He shared some of his cultivation insights.

He mentioned that the most important aspect of Foundation Establishment was to lay a solid foundation and cultivate powerful mana. This way, when forming the Golden Core, the core would be stronger.

Many people replied to the post, and they were very polite.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

"When you have time, fellow Daoist, come to my cave dwelling, and we can drink and chat."

Qi Yuan exited the post.

He then looked at other posts.

There were many posts in the public section, covering various topics.

Cultivation insights, seeking to buy treasures and secret techniques, sharing experiences from secret realms, chatting, arranging for duels, etc.

Suddenly, a post caught Qi Yuan's eye.

"Golden Water Needles from the Red Rock Realm for Sale"

"Red Rock Realm?"

Qi Yuan clicked in to take a closer look.

In the post, the author introduced the Red Rock Realm.

The Red Rock Realm was a small mortal realm adjacent to the Canglan Realm, rich in various gold-based treasures.

The Grand Dao Sect controlled the gateway to the Red Rock Realm and conducted "trade," bringing many unique treasures into the Canglan Realm.

"Indeed, there isn't just one world. The Canglan Realm and the Red Rock Realm are adjacent. What about the Moon Watching Continent?" Qi Yuan pondered.

He thought for a moment and searched for "Moon Watching Continent."

However, there was no information about the Moon Watching Continent, which left Qi Yuan a bit disappointed.

"It seems this game isn't popular."

Qi Yuan thought about it and decided to make a post.

After some thought, he posted:

"Shocking! I, who have built my foundation with the Dao of Heaven, am so unfortunate! Seeking help from all you experts!"

Qi Yuan felt that their post titles were too proper, so he went with a shocking title.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

"Everyone, ever since capturing the Dao of Heaven and establishing my foundation, I feel lost.

Building a foundation with the Dao of Heaven is too difficult, and cultivation techniques are hard to find. I seek from all you experts, a profound or heavenly level technique, or a technique to enhance the divine soul. I, Origin Heaven Venerable, will definitely repay you handsomely in the future. Let's discuss.

By the way, does anyone know about the Moon Watching Continent? This is where I achieved my Dao, and I long to revisit."

Qi Yuan's post was simple: "I, building my foundation with the Dao of Heaven, need a technique."

After posting, Qi Yuan exited the jade slip of the Divine Flower Association and continued cultivating the "Hundred Refinements Soul Enhancement Technique" to strengthen his divine soul.

At this time, Qi Yuan's post had already attracted a lot of attention.

In the Eastern Lands, Green Cloud Immortal State.

In a cave dwelling, a young man with handsome features, dressed in golden clothes, looked extraordinary.

His consciousness entered the jade slip of the Divine Flower Association.

Every day, he would browse the public section to see posts that interested him.

Unfortunately, those seniors or fellow cultivators were too dull.

To date, he had only made two like-minded friends in the Divine Flower Association and established a communication group.

He looked at the posts in the public section, and suddenly, a post with a long title caught his eye.

"So long? Shocking? Building a foundation with the Dao of Heaven?"

The man in golden clothes was surprised by the title.

"Could it be that our Divine Flower Association has another descendant of an old monster?"

The man in golden clothes was a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Earth Vein. He knew the difficulty of building a foundation with the Dao of Heaven.

It required capturing the Qi of the Heavenly Vein.

And to capture the Qi of the Heavenly Vein, an old monster at the Yin Spirit or even Yang Spirit level needed to make a move.

Such old monsters hadn't appeared in Green Cloud State for countless years.

Now, seeing someone with a foundation built on the Dao of Heaven, he naturally thought it was the beloved descendant of some old monster.

Such explosive content must be clicked.

"Capturing the Dao of Heaven, building a foundation with the Dao of Heaven? Origin Heaven Venerable, heavenly level technique?"

The man in golden clothes was stunned.

This must be a fake foundation with the Dao of Heaven!

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh.

"This person is talented. Why didn't I think of using 'shocking' in my post?"

He thought about it and applied to add Origin Heaven Venerable as a friend.

Then, he made a post of his own.

"Shocking! After 300 years of seclusion, Patriarch Xiangyun has an 18-year-old child."

Patriarch Xiangyun was the old enemy of the man in golden clothes.

He couldn't defeat him, so he could only do this.

……

That night, Qi Yuan entered the jade slip again.

He reentered the forum and was slightly stunned.

The previously proper forum now had a few eye-catching posts starting with the words "Shocking."

There were only a few such posts, but they seemed to be very popular, with many replies.

Qi Yuan checked his own post.

He wanted to see if he had met any like-minded individuals.

The comments below surprised him slightly.

"Such young age, yet you only brag."

"Building a foundation with the Dao of Heaven is not that simple. Does your sect or family have Yin Spirits or Yang Spirits?"

"You are truly a remarkable person."

These comments all expressed disbelief in Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan looked at these comments and said, "As expected, true geniuses are often met with doubt."

Qi Yuan continued to scroll through the comments.

Unfortunately, no one was willing to give him a profound-level or heavenly-level technique.

One comment caught Qi Yuan's attention.

"The Moon Watching Continent—if it has 'Moon Watching' in its name, it might belong to the world of the Moon God Sovereign. In the far north of the Canglan Realm, there is a sacred sect called the Moon Emperor Palace, which is part of the Moon God Sovereign's Dao lineage." The responder was anonymous.

Qi Yuan quietly read the content, his thoughts racing.

He hurriedly asked, "Senior, who is the Moon God Sovereign? Where is she? How can I contact her?"

Soon, the anonymous responder replied.

"She has incarnated into thousands of forms and should be seated in the rumored Heavenly Realm above the Void."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan fell silent.

"It seems necessary to visit the Moon Emperor Palace in the future."

On the Moon Watching Continent, there is the Moon Emperor clan, perhaps it’s a coincidence, or perhaps not.

"Moon God Sovereign..."

Qi Yuan recalled the residual thought he heard when he obtained the Fantasy Day Technique.

The Great Sun encountered an external enemy and was eventually defeated by this enemy, forced to hide in the absolute ground.

Was this external enemy the Moon God Sovereign, or was there some connection to her?

Back then, Qi Yuan faced only a remnant soul of the Great Sun and paid a great price.
One can imagine how powerful the enemy the Great Sun faced at its peak must have been.

Regarding immortals and gods, Qi Yuan felt it was too far from him.

"I have just established my foundation; it's too early to think about these things. At the very least, I need to reach the Golden Core stage."

With this thought, Qi Yuan felt helpless.

His "Qi Yuan Sutra" had no path forward!

He had to acquire some high-level techniques to perfect his own.

"White Moonlight, where are you, the White Moonlight like Zhu Lianhua?" Qi Yuan longed for the attention of the White Moonlight.

Qi Yuan hoped that the White Moonlight would come gently like Zhu Lianhua, bringing various techniques.

Without waiting for the White Moonlight, Qi Yuan saw that he had received two friend requests.

"Ling Nü?" Qi Yuan was puzzled. "Is it my junior sister?"

He accepted the request and sent a message.

"Junior sister, I hid so well and even changed my nickname. How did you find me?"

"Senior brother, your aura is like the stars. If I couldn't find you, I wouldn't be your junior sister."

Qi Yuan sighed, "Indeed, even though I've been very low-key, I still can't hide my brilliance."

He glanced at the second friend request.

His eyes narrowed.

"The Great Sun isn't dead, and has even ascended to the real world to hunt me?"

The friend request was from someone named Great Sun Flame Emperor.

"No, it must be a coincidence."

Qi Yuan thought for a moment and accepted the friend request.

In Green Cloud State, the man in golden clothes smiled as soon as his request was accepted.

"Friend, you are truly remarkable. I sent one message and got hundreds of replies. I posted in the public section and got dozens of responses, but few replied. I followed your example and also got nearly a hundred replies. You are my benefactor."

Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed to be a coincidence.

This Great Sun Flame Emperor wasn't the same Great Sun.

"If I am your benefactor, why don't you give me some heavenly-level techniques, or even profound-level ones!"

"...Origin Heaven Venerable, do you really need techniques?"

"Yes, urgently."

"I have a communication group. I see that we are fated; would you like to join?"

"...Sure."

Not long after, Qi Yuan was invited into a chat group.

Qi Yuan looked around. Including him, there were only four people in the group.

The group owner was Great Sun Flame Emperor.

The other two were named Rogue Immortal Venerable and Ice Mountain Overlord.

Rogue Immortal Venerable: "Wow, a newcomer?"

Great Sun Flame Emperor: "This brother is the one who built his foundation with the Dao of Heaven."

Rogue Immortal Venerable: "Wow, a big shot, a fellow Daoist. Unfortunately, I've been a Foundation Establishment cultivator for a hundred thousand years, just an immortal-grade Foundation Establishment. I can't rebuild, my life's regret."

"Big shot, you're so powerful. Give us a heavenly-level technique to see your strength," Qi Yuan said humbly.

"Cough, cough, I don't have a heavenly-level technique, but since you joined the communication group, you're one of us, a fellow Daoist. In the group, we have some techniques we've shared. There are three profound-level techniques and seven jade-level techniques. You can take a look," said Rogue Immortal Venerable.

Qi Yuan's eyes sparkled, "How can I accept this?"

He quickly accessed the three profound-level techniques and the seven jade-level techniques.

"We're all brothers. If you have any techniques, you can share them too. We can all walk the Dao together," said Great Sun Flame Emperor.

"You all are so kind," Qi Yuan thought and added "Glorious Sword" to the group.

He quickly opened the techniques and memorized them.

"Origin Heaven Venerable, you're amazing. You even have 'Glorious Sword' from the Palace of Light," Great Sun Flame Emperor said, putting away his previous disdain.

To bring out a profound-level technique, especially "Glorious Sword," showed that Origin Heaven Venerable had some power.

Although they liked to brag, they still had some strength.

"No, I'm just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"I'm just an ordinary immortal," Rogue Immortal Venerable felt he had been speaking without skill before, but Origin Heaven Venerable was interesting. "I just occasionally kill some demons and evil cultivators."

"You're amazing, big shot. When I was on the Moon Watching Continent, I faced three thousand extraterrestrial demons. To prevent them from wreaking havoc, I trapped them in the absolute ground, fought them for a month, and finally killed them all!"

"Fought for eternity? I like the sound of that. Can I use it in the future?" Great Sun Flame Emperor asked excitedly.

"No problem," Qi Yuan replied.

After obtaining the techniques, Qi Yuan exited the jade slip.

He felt that the two people in the group were very kind but also a bit strange.

He quickly began to study the profound and jade-level techniques to perfect his own technique.

"I've finally perfected 'Qi Yuan Sutra' to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Unfortunately, cultivation is too slow."

At this rate, it would take at least five years for him to reach the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

These techniques far surpassed those he obtained from the Black Mountain Sect.

Qi Yuan sighed, feeling that the Great Shang Kingdom was too small, like a village-level cultivation unit, compared to larger places.

Just a few techniques had significantly supplemented the "Qi Yuan Sutra," but he felt helpless.

His cultivation was too slow.

Five years from initial Foundation Establishment to mid-Foundation Establishment sounded fast.

But for Qi Yuan, it was too slow.

Who knows when the Black Chicken Old Monster might suddenly reach the late Nascent Soul stage and wake up.

Facing a Nascent Soul old monster, Qi Yuan was still afraid.

Although he had built his foundation with the Dao of Heaven, he felt that in his dream, he had beaten up the person in the wooden house, moved into the wooden house, but didn't win the fight, leaving a loose end.

"When will the game start?" Qi Yuan felt that fighting in the game would increase his cultivation faster.

Cultivating step by step was too slow.

"White Moonlight, please grant me a technique to enhance my divine soul!" Qi Yuan prayed sincerely.

A single "Hundred Refinements Soul Enhancement Technique" added limited divine soul strength each day. He needed more techniques to perfect and transform into a stronger technique.

"My divine soul has strengthened significantly. Let's try accessing the game icon again!" Qi Yuan immediately spread his consciousness into the game jade slip.

……

Liu Feng (Flowing Wind) Realm.

Demoness Ning Tao still wore a black dress, standing atop a mountain.

She bore heavy injuries.

Five powerful figures surrounded Ning Tao, exuding terrifying auras.

If Qi Yuan were here, he would recognize these five as Heavenly Domain-level experts.

"Demoness, hand over your treasures, and we'll leave you with an intact corpse!" An elderly man with an immortal demeanor spoke, his eyes filled with greed.

This demoness had reached their level in just a century.

Naturally, they believed she possessed great treasures that allowed her to cultivate so quickly.

The other four looked at Ning Tao with equally greedy eyes.

Ning Tao, standing at the mountain's peak, smiled proudly, her black dress embroidered with delicate patterns swaying in the wind. Compared to her past self, her figure was taller, her waist slimmer, her chest fuller, barely fitting in her dress.

The most striking feature was her snow-white skin, contrasting sharply with her black dress, as white as snow under the moonlight.

She looked at the five, her eyes filled with arrogance, "Is it possible that I rely on my talent?"

"Humph, talent my foot!" A burly man stared at Ning Tao, "Where's the man backing you? Bring him out!"

Over the years, Ning Tao had grown quickly, avoiding quick suppression due to rumors of a great cultivator supporting her, causing hesitation.

But no one knew who this great cultivator was.

"Old man, I believe she has no such backer. It's all lies!" A cold woman spoke, glaring venomously at Ning Tao.

The five controlled Blood Slaughter City, sacrificing three hundred boys and girls annually to Sin City, and Ning Tao was once one of those children.

The five slowly approached Ning Tao.

Ning Tao smiled charmingly, "Why would I need my husband to kill you?"

The first time she heard that strange voice, she had taken the opportunity to kill her attackers.

But she feared the voice's owner.

Her mother had said that calling a man "husband" would make him temporarily stop killing.

As a child, she had called out to the heavens to save herself.

But a hundred years had passed, and Ning Tao was no longer that weak girl.

She had grown strong, capable of protecting herself.

Today, the attack by the five Blood Slaughter City rulers was actually her plan to kill them.

"Today is your death day!" Ning Tao, wielding the scythe of the Grim Reaper, stood as the wind blew her hair over her enchanting face.

A powerful aura spread at that moment.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from the sky.

"Damn game, blocking me, die... Ah, I'm not your husband!"

Boom!
A mysterious voice echoed.

It was as if a god from the heavens was scolding the earth, booming like thunder.

The five experts saw the sky's energy rolling, forming a purple-red lightning.

"Original Divine Ability, Supreme of Five Realms!"

The five's faces showed horror.

Was this a Supreme attack?
Did this demoness really have a powerful backer?
