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

Chapter 105: No More Pretending, I'm Invincible, Do as You Please

Wugui City.

"It has been ten years, and Ash Water World should have only passed one day," Qi Yuan thought to himself.

The rain drizzled down, landing on the city walls and leaving behind scattered droplets that quickly evaporated.

The earth was scorching hot, like a furnace, making it somewhat dry and hot.

In these past few years, while Qi Yuan was stationed in Wugui City, ensuring that no demons entered, he would occasionally sneak out to "hunt" and kill demons.

His level had also reached a terrifying state.

"After a while, once I ensure that no demons have entered Wugui City, I should go offline for a trip."

Qi Yuan had hardly gone offline recently.

After all, in the real world, one day passed while ten years went by in the game.

If he went out for a meal, Wugui City would likely become the stronghold of demons.

His previous efforts in guarding the city would be in vain.

Of course, although this game couldn't compare to the anti-addiction measures of Wangyue Continent, one couldn't live in the game forever, right?

"Senior."

Just then, a voice came from behind.

Qi Yuan turned around and saw two familiar figures approaching him.

The newcomers were none other than Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei, who had crossed paths with him before.

The two arrived at the foot of Wugui City, panting heavily, with their clothes covered in thick dust.

It seemed like they had come in a hurry.

"It's you two, still alive," Qi Yuan said.

Liu Wentai choked for a moment, but he still said, "Senior, something bad has happened. A few years ago, we drove away Misang, and there was a brief period of peace in Yuzhou."

"Now, Misang is gone, and Wutong has arrived."

"Wutong is an even more terrifying demon controller than Misang. He is the pinnacle existence among the nation's controllers, and the demons under his control far surpass those of Misang!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's eyes lit up. "After eating grass for so many years, we finally have some meat!"

Liu Wentai continued, "We received news in Galan City that this time, Wutong will start by attacking Wugui City, taking it down before considering other cities."

"Thank you both for coming all this way to tell me this good news." If it were Qi Yuan from a few years ago, he wouldn't have wanted the enemy to be too strong.

But now, he was afraid that the enemy would be too weak.

"Senior, we're not joking!" Liu Wenmei anxiously said, seeing Qi Yuan's calm demeanor as if he were still joking.

Liu Wentai also said, "Wutong is coming aggressively. Please move to Galan City and join us in fighting against the enemy!"

Liu Wentai truly admired Qi Yuan.

Even the city's defender, Dong Long, had praised Qi Yuan more than once.

After all, they all believed that Qi Yuan, alone, couldn't hold out in Wugui City for much longer.

But Qi Yuan persisted and survived.

Of course, that might have been due to Galan City defeating Misang and reducing the pressure on Yuzhou.

But this time, with Wutong's arrival, the situation in Yuzhou was about to change drastically.

Wugui City would be the first to bear the brunt and become the example for Wutong's deterrence.

Qi Yuan looked at the two and helplessly said, "NPCs are NPCs. After all these years, their lines haven't changed."

The last time these two NPCs came, they tried to persuade him to leave.

This time, they were using the same words, quite dedicated.

Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei were completely stunned, not fully understanding Qi Yuan's words.

"Senior..." Liu Wenmei wanted to persuade him again.

Qi Yuan waved his hand, "Even if this world is destroyed, I won't die because... I am a player!"

"You should both go back..."

Qi Yuan paused for a moment.

"Based on the situation, it seems like you won't be able to go back."

Qi Yuan's gaze pierced through the vast desert, his eyes filled with excitement.

Because a powerful army of demons was rushing towards him.

"You've always been doubtful about why I dare to defend a city alone."

"Today, I will tell you."

"I will give you NPCs a little shock from the players!"

"It's uncomfortable always being seen as weak by you."

"Go back and tell your city's defender that if I want to, demons will be eradicated across thousands of miles!"

Upon hearing Qi Yuan's voice, Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei's minds briefly froze. They didn't know what Qi Yuan wanted to do. Also, they were unsure of the meaning behind what he said.

They looked at Qi Yuan, only to see him leap down from the city wall.

His slightly cold voice came through.

"I... don't need teammates."

"Xiao Jia... is enough."

"Together with you, my comrade!"

At this moment, Qi Yuan no longer concealed his true strength.

On the vast desert, blood-red fireflies covered Qi Yuan's body.

The flowing red covered Qi Yuan, and his body continued to grow, reaching a height of ten zhang.

As a ten-zhang tall giant, his entire body was covered in blood-colored armor, with his head also covered, revealing only a pair of cold and merciless eyes.

On his shoulders, there were thorny blood-red crystal, alluring yet mysterious.

The colossal blood-colored armored giant, wielding a massive blood-red broken sword, every step it took was accompanied by earth-shattering rumbling.

Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei stared wide-eyed, fixated on Qi Yuan.

In their eyes, there was nothing but shock and awe.

What is this?

A terrifying behemoth, exuding an explosive sense of power, standing before them like this.

They had a premonition that with a gentle push from this terrifying blood-colored armored giant, the towering city of Wugui would collapse with a thunderous crash.

Liu Wentai and his sister couldn't comprehend what was happening before their eyes.

But they could feel that the man before them was unbeatable.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the vast desert, dust filled the air.

The demonic army finally revealed its fangs.

Before the army arrived, a sharp and thin voice had already pierced through the sky.

"I am General Tiesuo, under General Wu Tong's command, the garrison commander of Wugui City. Surrender quickly, and I may spare your lives!"

In the midst of the demonic army, Tiesuo lay lazily on the cloud carriage, with a lazy expression and a sharp voice.

He used the technique of transmitting sound, and his voice reached Wugui City before the demonic army.

At this moment, the defender of Wugui City was probably already trembling on the city wall, thinking this in his heart.

He stood up and looked towards Wugui City.

In an instant, he met a pair of extremely cold eyes.

Those eyes were completely blood-red, containing endless slaughter.

Arrogance, greed, lust...

Tiesuo was momentarily stunned when he saw the owner of those eyes, but he was completely stunned when he saw him.

A ten-zhang tall giant in blood-red armor, wielding a huge broken sword.

Covered in blood-red armor, he didn't look like a human at all.

He widened his eyes and struggled to move his lips: "Demon army?"

The demonic army controlled by Tiesuo, each one of them had a large physique.

But compared to the terrifying blood-red armored giant, they were like newly hatched chicks.

The gaze of the blood-red armored giant fell on the demonic army, and the expression in his eyes was completely occupied by greed.

A voice as cold as ice came.

"I am invincible!"

"Watch closely, this is the confidence I have in defending Wugui City!"

Dominating power!

Death's radiant light!

Sky-cutting sword technique!

The huge blood-red armored giant suddenly leaped up.

The entire desert let out a heavy groan.

Only to see a huge broken sword descending from the sky.

The sword energy spanned thirty li!

Boom!

Thousands of demons were struck by this sword.

Tear!

Boom.

The earth shook and the yellow sand filled the sky.

Thousands of demons were torn into pieces in an instant.

More than ten demons of the Town Protector level didn't even have a chance to roar before they were annihilated by a single sword.

Thousands of demons perished under that sword.

For more than ten breaths, the yellow sand continued to churn.

Liu Wenmei and Liu Wentai on the city wall were blocked from seeing by the yellow sand, but they still sensed the terror and power of that sword.

How could there be such a powerful sword in the world?

With one sword, thousands of demons were wiped out!

Among them, there were more than ten demons of the Town Protector level.

Such terrifying strength...

Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei were deeply shocked in their hearts, and also felt a sense of shame.

They had been worried about Qi Yuan before, as if a firefly was worried that the sun would be extinguished by the flame of a candle.

In the battlefield of Yuzhou, the Town Protector of Wugui City was truly invincible.

One sword killed thousands of demons.

Perhaps, he alone could sweep through the city of Gulan.

Qi Yuan finally reached level 90.

In terms of strength, he was roughly at the mid-stage of the Divine Infant realm.

A prompt sound also entered Qi Yuan's ears.

[Reached level 90, obtained an opportunity to comprehend the origin, do you want to use it?]

He finally obtained another opportunity to comprehend the origin.

At this moment, he naturally wouldn't use it.

His figure flew over and landed on the battlefield that was shattered by his sword.

He looked at the shattered treasure cloud car and showed a surprised expression.

Being able to withstand his sword was considered a good thing.

Beside him, Tiesuo was heavily injured and unable to move. He looked at the terrifying monster in front of him with fear and regret in his eyes. "Kill the demons... don't kill me, I am a Town Protector, I am willing to surrender!"

The answer to him was the arc of Qi Yuan's broken sword flashing past.

At this point, more than a thousand remnants of the vanguard army of Wutong were completely wiped out by Qi Yuan.

The blood-red armor turned into a red glow, and Qi Yuan returned to his previous handsome appearance.

He walked out of the yellow sand and landed beside Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei, with a helpless smile in his eyes. "Now you understand why I didn't go to Gulan City?"

Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei remained silent, looking at Qi Yuan, their emotions were both excited and fearful.

The blood-red terrifying giant shadow was still deeply engraved in their memories.

"I personally have always been too lazy to explain, especially to NPCs like you two who keep babbling. It's like a canary, but your voices are not as pleasant, it's annoying."

Of course, even if these two didn't come, Qi Yuan would still kill the demons with one sword.

"So, thank you for your kindness, you can leave now." Qi Yuan issued an order to dismiss them.

Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

They solemnly saluted Qi Yuan and quickly left.

At this moment, another voice of Qi Yuan came from the air.

"Don't trust the young ones, and the old ones don't believe them either."

"You are not demons, I don't like fishing like this."

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, without any delay, he entered the city and found a secluded place.

"Comprehend the origin..."

He once again comprehended the origin.

Along with Qi Yuan's voice.

The scene in front of him changed again.

The yellow sand disappeared, replaced by a hazy mist.

Qi Yuan sat on the peak of Jiupan Mountain, suddenly, his eyes widened.

Because he discovered that the Gate of Wanshu was right on Jiupan Mountain!

The last time he came to Jiupan Mountain, the Gate of Wanshu was still in the distant sky.

This time, it was unexpectedly just a few hundred zhang away from him.

Very close, very close.

But Qi Yuan couldn't touch it at all.

He glanced at the place where the canary's nest used to be, but now it was empty, with nothing at all.

Qi Yuan looked at the Gate of Wanshu again.

[You have comprehended the Gate of Wanshu, gaining +10 ability in mutation.]

[You have comprehended the Gate of Wanshu, gaining +10 ability in coughing.]

[You have comprehended the Gate of Wanshu, gaining +10 ability in tearing clothes.]

Being closer, Qi Yuan's comprehension was much more intense than before.

In the past, it would drop bit by bit, but now it dropped all at once by 10 points.

"Oh no, it's so hot, so scorching."

Qi Yuan observed himself.

He found that he was now completely blood-red, constantly boiling.

With every breath, he felt as if his body was being dried out and evaporating.

"Could it be because I'm too close to the Gate of Wanshu?" Qi Yuan quickly rolled down from the mountain to the bottom.

And at this moment, a huge fragment fell.

[You have comprehended the Gate of Wanshu, gaining +99999 ability in the human-demon path.]

??? Qi Yuan was dumbfounded.

A 999-point increase?

What is this, the human-demon path?

When he received this information, a look of shock flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes.

"Is this a completely new system?"

"No, isn't this just the Body Refining system in the Flowing Wind Realm?"

"I, a player, have learned the cultivation method of an NPC?"

"A complete system outline, this is really..."

Qi Yuan was a little dazed.

By this time, he had already run halfway down the mountain.

That boiling and evaporating feeling, combined with the Gate of Wanshu, finally dissipated somewhat.

He put aside his previous emotions.

"Let's sit here."

Qi Yuan transformed into a large drop of blood and continued to comprehend the Gate of Wanshu.

Just then, a cheerful voice came.

"Blood droplet?"

Qi Yuan looked over and saw a girl in a golden dress.

The girl widened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and joy, her delicate face like peach blossoms in March, her cherry lips slightly parted, innocent and lively.

On the golden dress, there were shimmering lights and colorful reflections, as if the girl had walked out of a fairy tale.

"You are... the canary?" Qi Yuan thought that when he was comprehending, he seemed to have met a canary.

Who else could this little beauty be if not the canary?

"Hmph, this miss knew it, as soon as this bullshit gate appeared, you would show up!" The canary stood not far away, looking at Qi Yuan, not moving forward.

"How long have I been gone?" Qi Yuan looked at the canary.

He was thinking, it must have been a long time.

Did the canary used to weigh one jin?

Now it probably weighs ninety jin, right?

"Forty-seven years and three months!" The canary put her hands on her hips, looking angry.

"I've actually been away for so long." Qi Yuan instantly understood.

The time he was away had nothing to do with the time he spent in the game, but with the appearance of the Gate of Wanshu.

"Hmph, you left without saying goodbye, this miss has already removed you from my friends list."

But this miss has put on a beautiful makeup today and is in a good mood, so reluctantly, I'll recognize you as a friend."

The canary said, then turned her skirt around, proudly saying, "This miss has transformed, am I beautiful?"

After so many years, the canary still loved beauty.

"Well, in the mortal realm... you're stunning." Qi Yuan casually said.

He wasn't very good at praising people, nor was he good at insulting them.

"Perfunctory!" The canary pouted, then thought of something and suddenly said, "No way, no way, who else in Jiupan Mountain doesn't know how to transform?"
