The Golden Elixir is A Star, and You Call This Cultivation?

Chapter 1282: 548

"What secret?"

"My ancestors always said that when cultivating outside, one should be kind to others, valuing peace and harmony above all. I’ve always adhered to these principles.

Do you know why?"

"Isn’t that as it should be?"

"...In our Zhou’s Universe, powerful families are often inexplicably destroyed, and the downfall of these families is mostly due to the accidental killing of a mortal."

"Returning to Mortality?" Qi Yuan’s heart stirred.

"Correct." The Immortal Spirit with handsome features sighed, "A Realm Lord is divided into rules, All Things Realm, and Sky Creation Realm.

To achieve the Sky Creation Realm, one must understand all things and integrate with the rules.

Do you know how difficult it is to understand all things and to merge with the rules?

According to what my ancestors said, Realm Lords of the All Things Realm rarely show themselves because... they transmigrate into myriad forms, fall into the mortal world... experience the endless cycle of reincarnation, understand all things, integrate rules."

The Immortal Spirit with handsome features was speaking the truth.

After reaching the All Things Realm, it’s very difficult to advance further.

Many Realm Lords of the All Things Realm, guided by a wisp of their True Spirit, return to being mortals, experiencing life after life of reincarnation.

Countless mortals, through endless cycles of rebirth, come to understand every blade of grass and tree in the world, the universe, life, old age, sickness, and death, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

This is an extremely long period, perhaps even an Era’s time is not enough to truly understand all things and integrate with the rules.

An Era is the time from the opening to the destruction of a universe.

Generally speaking, if there are no external forces or special factors, an Era lasts 490 billion years.

During such a protracted era, the Realm Lord of the All Things Realm incarnates into thousands, a wisp of True Spirit continually reincarnates, continually transmigrates, seeking to understand all things, to merge with the rules.

During this time, some Realm Lords of the All Things Realm may see their True Spirits dim during the process of returning to mortality and forever decline, eventually returning to dust.

Therefore, there is a rumor in Zhou’s Universe that it’s rare for Realm Lords of the All Things Realm to die in battle; nearly all of them perish due to a failed transmigration into mortality.

And in Zhou’s Universe, from the All Things Realm to the Sky Creation Realm, the fastest was the strongest in Zhou’s Universe, the founder of Void Paradise, the Void Realm Lord.

From the All Things Realm to the Sky Creation Realm, he took only half an Era.

Mentioning this, the Immortal Spirit with handsome features felt even more his own insignificance.

He was merely a Yin God Venerable, far from the Sun God, let alone the existence of Realm Lords of realms like the All Things Realm.

As for the more majestic existences above the All Things Realm, that was something even more unimaginable.

Qi Yuan was stunned.

These Realm Lords of the All Things Realm returning to mortality, why did it seem so similar to the roles he played?

Qi Yuan’s path as a Yin God was already planned out, which was to become a True God capable of creating heavens and earth.

To create heavens and earth, to create all things, the prerequisite is to know all things, to master the rules.

And the roles Qi Yuan played were actually transformations of his own Essence Blood.

The roles he played included not only characters but also kitchen knives, stones, Divine Artifacts.

The Realm Lords of the All Things Realm were plagiarizing him!

Qi Yuan was certain!

Because, according to what the Immortal Spirit with handsome features said, Realm Lords of the All Things Realm incarnate into thousands, mostly into humans, or animals, plants, all kinds of lifeforms, to comprehend the existence of the world.

Qi Yuan was different; he also played the roles of inanimate objects like stones and kitchen knives.

So to say, the Realm Lords of the All Things Realm plagiarized him!

But their skills were inadequate; they only copied half.

"Damn it, I’m too weak now. Once I become a Yin God, I’ll definitely go and collect patent fees from them!"

Qi Yuan thought to himself.

Suddenly he realized he was a down-and-out tycoon.

All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, so many Realm Lords across countless universes owed him patent fees!

However, he also understood that a great kindness might be treated as a great wrong, and if he spoke out about this, it might attract the pursuit of Realm Lords.

With that thought, he could only chew up the matter and swallow it down into his stomach.

"Of course, the Returning to Mortality of those top existences is naturally different from yours, but you can still learn from them.

Although you can’t do as the Realm Lords do and dive into the cycle of reincarnation, you can still seal your memories and begin a new life for yourself." The Immortal Spirit with handsome features answered seriously.

"Thanks." Qi Yuan thanked him sincerely.

However, in his heart, he didn’t approve of the Immortal Spirit with handsomely features’s idea of sealing memories.

The Realm Lords’ Returning to Mortality was copied from him, and there must be numerous flaws.

His Returning to Mortality was the genuine article.

Now that the Immortal Spirit with handsome features had told him this, it felt a bit like the domestic news on Blue Star being carried to foreign networks, then carried back to the domestic web, turning into foreign news again.

"So, I’m not wrong in my thinking."

"I haven’t succeeded in Returning to Mortality because there are too many people blocking my way, as long as I kill them all, can’t I Return to Mortality in peace?"

Qi Yuan felt his reasoning was sound.

His thought process wasn’t wrong.

It’s just that there are too many villains in this world.

"Continue killing the Blood Tiger Gang?"

"Forget it, the Blood Tiger Gang is too weak. Let’s wipe out Thornblood instead!"

Having dealt with the underlings, Qi Yuan took a new path, opting not to target the weaker ones, but to directly kill the Supreme Elder.

Meanwhile, inside the Blood Tiger Gang.

The members got the news, and a thick killing intent shone in their eyes.

"Back from the dead... well, a mere cultivator, if you had just stayed quietly, I wouldn’t have bothered with you, but to think you dare to kill a disciple in the inner hall of the Blood Tiger Gang, it’s audacious!"

The leader of the Blood Tiger Gang was a tall and burly man, his arms as thick as the legs of an average person.

He too possessed Innate Divine Strength, and with cultivation, he was comparable to the lowest level of Earth-level Army Commander.

At this moment, suddenly, a gang member walked in and passed a letter to the Blood Tiger Gang leader.

He picked up the letter, squinting as he read, a mocking look appearing in his eyes.

"Has Old Wang lost his mind?"

He tossed the letter onto the ground carelessly, knocking his knees back and forth.

The Think Tank didn’t read the letter, but he probably knew what was in it.

This Old Wang was a wealthy man in the city.

Back when the Blood Tiger Gang leader was weak, Old Wang had saved his life.

Later on, Old Wang acted as a broker, often bringing money to the Gang leader to ransom members of the Rebel Army.

Even though the Rebel Army was in rebellion, business still had to be done.

The Blood Tiger Gang leader had done this kind of business a few times.

Now, the letter from Old Wang mentioned that if they could spare Qi Yuan’s life this time, someone was willing to pay ten thousand Silver Taels to ransom Qi Yuan away.

"Hmph, my dozen or so brothers are only worth ten thousand Silver Taels? They’ll have to pay more!"

The Blood Tiger Gang leader said nonchalantly as he stretched out three fingers to his underling, "Thirty thousand taels."

The underling caught on immediately and understood.

But at that moment, the Think Tank spoke up, "Leader, this time... that cultivator has an extraordinary background, if we proceed with this deal, it might displease the higher-ups."

"Hmph, I’m well aware of this. If it comes to it, we’ll take the money and keep the person."

When doing business, it’s important to be credible.

But after completing this deal, the silver the Blood Tiger Gang leader would accumulate would be enough to meet with Blood Tiger himself, who could then turn him into a half-human, half-phantom aristocrat.

Once turned into an aristocrat, who would be a bootlicker like the leader of the Blood Tiger Gang or, should I say, a top enforcer?

"The leader is powerful!" the Think Tank said.

"Come, let’s go see where that damn Cultivator is now!"

The Blood Tiger Gang leader walked out of the main hall.

Outside the hall, on the plaza, hundreds of gang members gathered, dressed in uniform, each holding a large machete, bristling with murderous intent.

Looking at his followers, a smug expression spread across the face of the Blood Tiger Gang leader.

Just then, another gang member came from afar.

"Leader, that guy has gone to the Inner City District!"

Yunxue City was ruled by Thornblood, and to better manage it, there were many magic artifacts called Sky Surveillance Eyes.

These artifacts were similar to flying surveillance devices.

The Blood Tiger Gang was in possession of a few.

After Qi Yuan killed members of the Blood Tiger Gang’s inner hall, a young Sky Surveillance Eye flew out in search of Qi Yuan’s whereabouts and kept him under watch.

"What’s he doing in the Inner City District?" said the Blood Tiger Gang leader, somewhat surprised.

Apart from aristocrats, Thornblood members, and servants, ordinary people had no right to enter the Inner City District.

"Bring me the image from the Sky Surveillance Eye; I want to see it!" demanded the Blood Tiger Gang leader.

The Think Tank flattering said, "Perhaps, seeing no way to leave the city, he went to the Inner City District to see if he could catch the eye of some big shot and be taken in as a slave!"

The Blood Tiger Gang leader’s expression darkened. If that cultivator truly became someone else’s slave, it would complicate matters. They might have to ask Blood Tiger himself to intervene.
