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

"But... I'm a good person. How can I steal things?"

Looking at the Buddha corpse, Qi Yuan murmured to himself.

Although the Ten Thousand Saints Palace didn't like this Buddha corpse and often hired Realm Lords to dissipate the Buddha light, it was still their property.

However, at that moment, the Buddha corpse, which had been keeping its eyes shut, suddenly opened them.

In its emotionless eyes, a raging killing intent spread.

Outside the Wind Spirit Cloud, all the Realm Lords sensed this overwhelming killing intent and were momentarily stunned, some confused.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

"Such a strong killing intent!"

Especially the Ghost Supreme Realm Lord. When he had first stepped into the Realm Lord level, he had been full of confidence, feeling that no one in the world could stop him.

But now, just a wave of killing intent made him feel the threat of death.

"Not good!" Old Fatty's expression changed drastically, followed by anger.

The palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace also realized something and was filled with worry.

If something happened to Qi Yuan in the Ten Thousand Saints Palace, the palace would likely be held responsible.

Most importantly, the killing intent seemed to come from the Buddha corpse.

There was... a hint of conspiracy in this.

The killing intent came quickly and left just as fast.

For an existence like the Buddha corpse, killing a Realm Lord could be done in an instant.

Without hesitation, Old Fatty and the palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace rushed into the Wind Spirit Cloud.

But just then, a black light suddenly descended from the sky, shining on the two of them.

"Black God Shield?"

"Palace Master of the Black Profound Palace!"

Old Fatty's eyes widened in fury.

The Black God Shield was a Realm Lord treasure of the Black Profound Palace, and not an ordinary one.

There were rumors that when this Realm Lord treasure was being forged, it had listened to a Dao Lord's teachings.

This treasure was enough to trap a powerhouse like Old Fatty for a hundred breaths.

The palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace felt a chill run down his spine.

With this setup, it was clear what was happening.

He felt a sense of relief that the Black Profound Palace had targeted Qi Yuan.

If they had targeted him...

He would probably have been severely injured, if not killed, and the foundation of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace would have been handed over.

Thankfully, it was Qi Yuan.

He felt a sense of relief.

However, he still angrily shouted: "The Black Profound Palace has gone too far!"

"Heavenly Silkworm Scholar, let's work together to destroy the Black God Shield!"

Old Fatty glanced at the palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace: "I hope you weren't involved in this, otherwise..."

Old Fatty coldly snorted and began to attack.

The palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace also attacked frantically, trying to break the Black God Shield.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Wind Spirit Cloud, a black shadow blotted out the sky, as if it were the only existence in the world.

All light in the world disappeared.

If an Yin God cultivator were here, they would suddenly find themselves blind.

"The Buddha corpse has made its move. Even if he doesn't die, he'll be severely injured."

"I don't have much time, thirty breaths... I must kill him, or... capture him!"

The palace master of the Black Profound Palace calculated in his heart.

He moved deeper into the Wind Spirit Cloud. The closer he got, the more intense the killing intent became.

Even he felt a great threat.

Not to mention Qi Yuan, who had taken a hit from the Buddha corpse.

So this time, Qi Yuan, the prodigy, was doomed.

Time passed quickly. In the span of a breath, the palace master of the Black Profound Palace appeared in the deepest part of the Wind Spirit Cloud.

"Where is he? Where is he hiding?" After scanning with his divine sense, the palace master of the Black Profound Palace didn't find Qi Yuan.

His heart tightened, immediately thinking that Qi Yuan might have been severely injured and was hiding somewhere, concealing his aura.

"Break!"

The palace master of the Black Profound Palace cast a divine ability, sweeping through the heavens.

All living beings in the world would be revealed.

But just then, a lazy voice came from the forbidden zone.@@novelbin@@

"So you're the one trying to ambush me, Palace Master of the Black Profound Palace?"

"Just you? Didn't the Palace Master of the White Profound Palace come?"

The voice even carried a hint of disappointment.

The palace master of the Black Profound Palace suddenly looked up, his gaze falling on the forbidden zone.

He was stunned.

In the forbidden zone.

The massive Buddha corpse's eyes were bleeding, and its Buddha robes were dim.

On the shoulder of the Buddha corpse sat an exceptionally handsome young man, exuding a lazy aura.

Qi Yuan?

How was he sitting on the Buddha corpse?

The palace master of the Black Profound Palace's mind raced, filled with confusion.

After all, the Buddha corpse was a terrifying existence that could easily kill him.

Even if it awakened for just a breath, it could severely injure a Creation Realm Realm Lord.

But now, Qi Yuan was not only unharmed but also sitting on the Buddha corpse.

What was going on?

"How did you do it?" The palace master of the Black Profound Palace was anxious, his thoughts in turmoil.

"Do what?" Qi Yuan said casually, then seemed to realize something and added, "Oh, maybe it's because you're ugly and don't understand the benefits of being handsome. As soon as the Buddha corpse woke up, it wanted to recognize me as its master." 𝙧ÀɴȮ𝔟ЁⱾ

After becoming a god, Qi Yuan had also become smarter.

When he spoke, he knew how to mix truth with lies.

When the Buddha corpse awakened, it had indeed attacked Qi Yuan, with terrifying force.

If Qi Yuan had just entered the Primordial Council, with his strength at the time, he might have been severely injured or even killed by the Buddha corpse.

However, in the places of opportunity, his strength had continuously improved, reaching the level of a weak fourth-layer Yang God.

The Buddha corpse's attack was easily handled by him.

He had even used his latest superpower to enter the Buddha corpse's body and merge with it.

The Buddha corpse had no intelligence, no true spirit, no consciousness—only instinct.

This was the biggest vulnerability for his superpower.

If he merged with it long enough, he could even control the Buddha corpse to attack.

Of course, the combat power it could unleash was another matter.

"You're strange."

Without hesitation, the palace master of the Black Profound Palace decided to retreat.

"I admit defeat."

He naturally thought that this was a trap set by the Myriad Transformations Society for him.

Perhaps the Myriad Transformations Society had long known about the Buddha corpse and had even found a way for Qi Yuan to avoid its attack.

Now, they had lured him out to deal with the palace master of the White Profound Palace.

"Since you admit defeat, why not commit suicide? That would save the state some bullets," Qi Yuan said.

Since the other party had surrendered, he naturally had to persuade them to kill themselves.

The palace master of the Black Profound Palace sneered: "Do you think you can stop me from leaving?"

He was disdainful.

If he wanted to leave, even the leader of the Myriad Transformations Society couldn't stop him.

How could Qi Yuan, a mere newcomer, stop him?

Moreover, he didn't believe that Qi Yuan had withstood the Buddha corpse's attack.

Most likely, the Myriad Transformations Society had some special method to avoid the Buddha corpse's attack.

"You're trying to flee from justice?" Qi Yuan widened his eyes. "Don't you know that makes your crime even worse?

If you surrender, you'll just die.

But if you flee, it won't be as simple as death."

"You're insane!" The palace master of the Black Profound Palace cursed under his breath and, without hesitation, turned into a black light and fled.

"In broad daylight, under the clear sky, you dare to flee from justice!"

Qi Yuan was furious.

This person had disrespected him.

Although he didn't have a law enforcement certificate, he was a concerned citizen.

"Stop!"

Qi Yuan made his move, his voice carrying an immense magical power.

The fleeing palace master of the Black Profound Palace suddenly looked confused, then shocked: "What kind of technique is this?"

He was astonished to find that his body had returned to its state half a breath ago.

It was as if his time had been stopped and reversed.

This kind of technique was truly bizarre, something only seen in some special Dao Lord scriptures.

"Supreme Truth Scripture!"

The palace master of the Black Profound Palace immediately activated the Dao Lord scripture he carried.

The so-called Supreme Truth Scripture emphasized supreme subtlety.

It could break all laws, all paths, all rules.

If the Purple Cloud Palace were haunted, using the "Supreme Truth Scripture" would instantly reduce the ghosts to ashes.

"Your scripture is quite interesting. It'll soon be mine."

Although Qi Yuan had mastered many Dao Lord scriptures, most of them he hadn't learned thoroughly, only integrating them into his "Qi Yuan Scripture."

Facing the palace master of the Black Profound Palace, he relied solely on brute force.

After all, when Black Heaven had fought him, Black Heaven had no consciousness and didn't use any divine abilities or techniques, only simple collisions.

Yet it had been enough to kill Qi Yuan.

Although he had fought Black Heaven for countless years in the river of time, in the eyes of some powerful beings, it might have only been an instant.

He reached out his hand.

This hand, though it carried no divine abilities or Dao Lord scriptures, effortlessly stripped the palace master of the Black Profound Palace of his Realm Lord treasure.

He glanced at the treasure and said softly: "I'm a kind-hearted person. I can't bear to see your legacy exposed to the wind and rain. From now on, I'll take care of them and ensure they have a proper end."

The palace master of the Black Profound Palace's face showed fear: "You... what are you?"

The other party's terror was beyond his imagination.

This kind of technique was divine and miraculous. He had never seen anything like it from cultivators of the same level.

As for Dao Lords making their move, he had never witnessed it, and the fourth layer of Yang God was beyond his reach.

Unless Qi Yuan wasn't a living being but an existence like the Buddha corpse.

That was the only explanation.

"I'm Qi Yuan. I'm human, a good person."

"You're not. A Creation Realm Realm Lord couldn't be this strong!"

"Why not? Isn't it because you haven't worked hard enough?

Over so many epochs, have you ever asked yourself if you've truly put in the effort? You've been stagnant. Meanwhile, I've been taking seven steps to the heavens!"

In the Yin God realm, there were seven steps to the heavens.

The so-called divine apertures and divine domains, he had already achieved them.

The seven steps to the heavens were like seven transformations of the true spirit.

Now, in the places of opportunity, he had undergone five transformations.

After two more, he would reach the end of the Yin God path.

Beyond that was the Yang God realm!

"What kind of monster are you?" The palace master of the Black Profound Palace became increasingly convinced that Qi Yuan was an existence like the Buddha corpse.

His words were vague and full of holes, with his own unique logic.

"You've committed another crime, slandering me as a monster. It seems you're in a hurry to die."

Qi Yuan once again stood on the moral high ground.

A terrifying giant hand pressed down on the palace master of the Black Profound Palace.

The palace master of the Black Profound Palace was filled with despair.

"All my scriptures, burn!"

At this moment, he unleashed his most powerful attack.

Dozens of Dao Lord scriptures burned simultaneously.

His aura became sacred and vast.

His power suddenly increased dozens of times.

Such a terrifying attack could shatter the Milky Way.

Such an attack could be unleashed ten thousand times in a single breath.

"Confess and receive leniency, resist and face justice. The trial of justice!"

Qi Yuan pushed out a palm.

The terrifying defenses constructed by countless Dao Lord scriptures.

Under this palm, they crumbled like rotten wood, turning to ash.

The palace master of the Black Profound Palace's body also shattered at this moment.

His face showed disbelief.

Until his death, he hadn't expected to die here.

After all, in the Primordial Council, Dao Lords couldn't enter.

He had already reached the pinnacle.

Even if four or five leaders of the Myriad Transformations Society of the same level surrounded him, he could easily escape.

Facing a strange existence like the Buddha corpse, as long as he didn't get close, everything would be fine.

Yet, he had truly died.

Most importantly, this was the Primordial Council.

Once the true spirit perished, it couldn't be revived in the river of time.

Death... was truly the end.

"Thankfully, I controlled my strength. The Realm Lord treasures on his body are still intact."

"Although they're not worth much, they're still resources. I'll put them in my underworld."

"My underworld is too empty."

Qi Yuan murmured.

He found three Realm Lord treasures on the palace master of the Black Profound Palace.

As for Dao Lord scriptures, there were a total of forty-seven, a large number.

"A windfall."

At that moment, his gaze fell on the Black God Shield not far away.

"Is Old Fatty having a secret rendezvous with the palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace?"

Without hesitation, he flicked his finger, and the Black God Shield appeared in his hand.

Two powerful auras erupted, and Old Fatty and the palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace both looked confused.

When their eyes fell on the Buddha corpse and Qi Yuan sitting on its shoulder, both of them showed shock.

"Qi Yuan, be careful of the Buddha corpse, be careful of the palace master of the Black Profound Palace!" Old Fatty quickly warned.

If it weren't for his fear of the Buddha corpse, he would have already grabbed Qi Yuan and fled.

"Don't worry, the Buddha corpse is dead. It won't hurt anyone," Qi Yuan said seriously.

This statement was akin to saying, "My dog is well-behaved, it won't bite."

The palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace's expression changed.

He also knew the Buddha corpse was dead.

"As for the palace master of the Black Profound Palace, he's already dead," Qi Yuan said indifferently.

Old Fatty quickly looked around. When he saw the familiar body, his eyes showed shock.

The palace master of the Black Profound Palace... was dead?

The palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace was also stunned.

The palace master of the Black Profound Palace was dead!

Could it be...

Many thoughts raced through his mind.

Could it be that the palace master of the Black Profound Palace had been overconfident, trying to control the Buddha corpse to kill Qi Yuan.

But instead, he was killed by the Buddha corpse.

That was the only explanation.

A powerhouse like the palace master of the Black Profound Palace couldn't possibly die in the Primordial Council.

If he were in a universe and encountered a Dao Lord's death, that would be one thing.

But this was the Primordial Council, where the fifth layer of Yang God couldn't enter.

"He came to assassinate me, and I acted in self-defense and killed him.

Old man, since he came to kill me, now I'm going to the Black and White Profound Palaces to use their places of opportunity as compensation for my mental distress. They shouldn't dare to stop me, right?" Qi Yuan said with a smile.

Old Fatty took a deep breath.

Originally, he had been thinking about how to save Qi Yuan and how to handle this matter.

But now, things had become even more complicated.

The palace master of the Black Profound Palace was dead.

This was a major event.

The members of the Myriad Transformations Society who had planned this... were probably in trouble.

...

Meanwhile.

Outside the White Profound Palace.

The Heavenly Tang Realm Lord looked elegant: "Although we couldn't kill the palace master of the White Profound Palace in this battle, we managed to lightly injure him and seize seven Dao Lord scriptures. This counts as a great victory."

As he spoke, his face showed confidence.

He was one of the three deputy leaders of the Myriad Transformations Society and one of the most promising candidates for the position of leader.

"With these seven Dao Lord scriptures and this achievement, Fellow Daoist Heavenly Tang is sure to become the leader," a thin female Realm Lord flattered. "However, the Heavenly Silkworm Scholar might have some objections."

The Heavenly Tang Realm Lord's expression remained unchanged: "That Qi Yuan has some strength. He probably won't die so easily. If he's still alive, I'll let him take a look at these seven Dao Lord scriptures as compensation."
