The Golden Elixir is A Star, and You Call This Cultivation?
Chapter 164 - 104

Chapter 164: 104

Before the arrival of the grand army, a sharp voice had already pierced through the sky.

"I am Tie Suo, a general under General Wu Tong, the defender of the city of No Return. Surrender immediately, and you may yet be spared!"

In the army of monsters, Tie Suo lounged on a cloud vehicle, his expression indifferent, his voice sharp.

He used a voice transfer technique, allowing his words to arrive at the city of No Return even before the army of monsters themselves.

By now, the city’s defender would likely be trembling atop the city wall in fear; at least, that’s what Tie Suo assumed.

He stood up and looked towards the city of No Return.

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

Those eyes were enveloped in the hue of blood, reflecting nothing but an imagery of an endless sea of corpses.

Arrogance, greed, lust...

Tie Suo was stunned for a moment. When he saw the owner of those eyes, he didn’t just pause, he froze in surprise.

A thirty-foot tall giant in blood-red armor, clutching a massive broken sword.

His entire body was clad in blood-red armor; he didn’t look remotely human.

Tie Suo widened his eyes, barely managing to move his lips: "A monster?"

The colossal army of monsters he commanded, each one standing larger than the last.

But compared to the blood-red armored giant, they seemed like chicks that had just hatched from their eggs.

The blood-red armored giant beheld the army with eyes reflecting nothing but pure greed.

A voice, cold as ice, resonated through the air.

"I, invincible!"

"Witness! This is what backs my defense of the city of No Return!"

Dominance and power!

Shining death!

Sword Art of Heaven’s Punishment!

The colossal blood-red armored giant suddenly leaped into the air.

The entire desert shook with a profound tremor.

A massive broken sword descended from the sky.

The sword aura spread out in a radius of thirty miles!

Boom!

Thousands of monsters were hit by this sword attack.

Rip!

Crash!

The earthquake reverberated, with yellow sand filling the sky.

Thousands of monsters were ripped into shreds in an instant.

More than a dozen top tier monsters, without even having the chance to roar, were obliterated by a single sword swing.

Thousands of monsters fell to this single strike.

A good dozen breaths later, dust still swirled in the air.

Liu Wenmei and Liu Wentai stood atop the city wall, their eyes blocked by the swirling sand, yet they could still sense the terror and power of that single sword strike.

How could such a powerful sword exist in this world?

One strike, and thousands of monsters vanished!

Among them, shockingly, were more than ten top tier monsters.

Such dreadful strength...

Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei were filled with awe and a fleeting sense of shame.

Their former worry over Qi Yuan felt as silly as a firefly worrying that the sun might be snuffed out by a candle’s flame.

In the battlefield that was Yuzhou territory, the defender of the city of No Return was without a doubt invincible.

A single strike annihilated thousands of monsters.

It seems he could single-handedly overpower Jialan city.

Qi Yuan had finally reached level ninety.

According to raw strength, he should be at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul state.

A notification sound echoed in Qi Yuan’s ear.

[You’ve upgraded to level 90 and have received the chance to feel the Origin again, would you like to use it now?]

He had finally obtained the chance to comprehend the Origin again.

Obviously, he wouldn’t use this chance right now.

He flew over and landed at the shattered battlefield.

He looked at the treasured cloud vehicle that had been split in half by him, and showed a look of surprise.

Anything that can endure a slash from his sword definitely merited the title of a treasure.

Meanwhile, Tie Suo, severely injured and unable to move, stared at the dreadful monster in front of him, his eyes filled with fear and regret: "I killed monsters too...please, spare me. I’m a Nation Protector. I surrender!"

His plea was met with the slash of Qi Yuan’s broken sword.

From that point, the thousands of monsters, the vanguard army of Wu Tong, were completely wiped out by Qi Yuan.

The crimson armor vanished in a flash of light, leaving Qi Yuan, looking as handsome as ever.

Emerging from the swirling sand, he landed next to Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei, a wry smile in his eyes: "Now you understand why I didn’t go to Jialan?"

Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei remained silent, looking at Qi Yuan. They felt a mixture of emotions - excitement, but also a hint of fear.

The image of the monstrous giant in blood-red armor was still deeply imprinted in their minds.

"I never bother to explain myself, especially to an npc, but you two constantly nagged, like a pair of canaries, except your voices aren’t nearly as pleasant, quite a bother really."

Of course, even if these two hadn’t come, Qi Yuan would have still executed the monsters with a single swing of his sword.

"So, thank you for your concern. Leave," Qi Yuan ordered them to depart.

Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting mutual shock.

They paid their respects to Qi Yuan before quickly leaving his side.

At this moment, another one of Qi Yuan’s voices echoed in the air.

"Can’t trust the young or old anymore."

"You’re not demons, I don’t like this kind of fishing."

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

"Feeling the origin..."

He felt the origin once more.

With Qi Yuan’s voice.

The scene before his eyes changed once again.

The yellow sand disappeared, replaced by swirling and hazy smoke.

Qi Yuan was sitting on top of the Nine-plate mountain, suddenly, his eyes widened.

Because, he found the Gate of Ten Thousand Differences on top of the Nine-plate mountain!

Last time, when he came to Nine-plate mountain, the Gate of Ten Thousand Differences was far above in the sky.

This time, it was only a few hundred yards away from him.

Very close, very close.

But Qi Yuan still couldn’t touch it.

He took a glance at the canary’s nest, which was now empty, with nothing inside.

Qi Yuan once again turned to face the Gate of Ten Thousand Differences.

[You comprehended the Gate of Ten Thousand Differences, Variant Ability+10.]

[You comprehended the Gate of Ten Thousand Differences, Coughing Ability+10.]

[You comprehended the Gate of Ten Thousand Differences, Cloth-tearing Ability+10.]

With his proximity, Qi Yuan’s understanding was much deeper than before.

It used to drop little points, but now it dropped ten points at once.

"Not good, it’s so hot, so hot."

Qi Yuan observed himself.

He found that he was now completely red with continuous boiling.

With each breath, he felt his body was being dried up, constantly evaporating.

"Could it be that I’m too close to the Gate of Ten Thousands Differences?" Qi Yuan quickly rolled down the mountain.

At this moment, a huge fragment fell down.

[You comprehended the Gate of Ten Thousand Differences, Human-Demon Path+99999.]

???

Qi Yuan was dumbfounded.

A 999 boost with one stroke?

What is this, the Human-Demon Path?

Upon receiving this information, a shocked expression flashed in Qi Yuan’s eyes.

"Is this a whole new system?"

"No, isn’t this the cultivation system of the Liu Feng realm?"

"As a player, I learned the cultivation method of the NPCs?"

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

Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback.

At this moment, he had already reached halfway down the mountain.

The feeling of boiling and evaporating, and merging with the Gate of Ten Thousand Differences, finally began to dissipate a little.

He put aside his previous emotions.

"I’ll just sit here."

Qi Yuan turned into a large blood droplet, continuing to muse upon the Gate of Ten Thousand Differences.

Just then, an excited voice came.

"A blood droplet?"

Qi Yuan looked over and saw a girl in a golden long skirt.

The girl’s eyes widened, her mesmerizing eyes filled with surprise and joy, her blushed pretty face akin to peach blossoms in March, her cherry lips slightly apart, innocent and vibrant.

On her golden long skirt, glimmers of light dazzled; the girl seemed to have walked out from a fairy tale.

"You are...Canary?" Thought Qi Yuan, thinking of a canary he knew during his enlightenment.

If this adorable girl isn’t Canary, then who is she?

"Hmph, I knew it, once that damned gate appears, you’d show up!" Canary stood not far away, watching Qi Yuan without moving closer.

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

He was thinking, it must have been quite a while.

Was the previous Canary even one pound?

Now she probably weighs ninety pounds, right?

"Forty-seven years and three months!" Canary put her hands on her hips, appearing quite angry.

"I’ve been gone that long." Qi Yuan suddenly understood.

The time he’s been gone has nothing to do with the time he’s spent in the game, but with the appearance of the Gate of Ten Thousand Differences.

"Hmph, you disappeared without saying goodbye, so I’ve removed you from my friend list.

But today I’ve put on pretty makeup and I’m in a good mood, so I suppose I’ll reluctantly take you as a friend again."

Canary then twirled her skirt at Qi Yuan and proudly said, "I’ve transformed, aren’t I pretty?"

After all these years, Canary is still so vain.

"Mmm... absolutely... beautiful." Qi Yuan casually replied.

He wasn’t good at complimenting people, nor at scolding them.

"Insincere!" Canary pouted her mouth, then suddenly thought of something, "No way, no way, who else in Nine-plate mountain hasn’t transformed?"
