The Golden Elixir is A Star, and You Call This Cultivation?
Chapter 921 - 405

Chapter 921: 405

"...cough cough... His name is Qi Yuan," said Jiang Ruhua, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

After all, now in this world, who doesn’t know that Qi Yuan eliminated the great calamity.

It was quite embarrassing that his son-in-law shared the same name.

Upon hearing this, even though Wang Lingtong was a Venerable, his heartbeat violently surged in that moment.

He forcefully looked toward the stairs in front of him, only to see a figure clad in a long, blood-red robe slowly descending, their feet tapping on the stairs, producing a tapping sound.

A woman wearing a plain robe, Jiang Lingsu, was holding onto that figure’s arm, her eyes brimming with unstoppable joy.

All the cultivators present, who were drinking at that moment, set down their cups and silently rose to their feet.

In the tavern, only the rustling sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs could be heard.

Jiang Ruhua did not notice that those cultivators had stood up. It was only the sound of Qi Yuan stepping on the stairs that made him blush.

Alas, the son-in-law is truly similar to him, coming from a modest place; the quality is almost the same, so noisy when walking.

Didn’t you notice how quiet it is here?

Quality, ah!

He decided that once he returned to the Eastern Land, he must properly educate Qi Yuan. Out in the world, one must not lose the face of Eastern Land cultivators.

When that blood-colored figure caught his eye, a face of extraordinary handsomeness and a touch of laziness, as if not quite awakened from the drowsiness of spring, appeared, Jiang Ruhua abruptly stood up. As he prepared to question the young man hugging his precious daughter, he saw all the cultivators in the venue bowing in unison, and a deafening sound swept through in that moment.

"We pay our respects to the Blood Sword God Senior!"

"Senior eliminated the great calamity, merit immeasurable; you should be our Canglan Realm’s Human Emperor!"

The voices were uniform and in sync, as if coming from a single person, piercing through rock and flowing clouds, echoing to the skies.

In that moment, the Venerables in the tavern all called out in unison, regardless of how noble their identities once were or how distinguished their origins.

In front of the figure in the blood-colored robe, their inferiority was taken to the extreme.

Jiang Ruhua blinked his eyes, as if doubting his ears and eyes.

His heart felt empty, as though struck by lightning, his entire body tingling with numbness.

The voices of those cultivators became a ringing in his ears.

Qi Yuan... is it really Qi Yuan?!!

He felt bewildered, utterly unable to think.

He was in such a hurry, just having declared he would go give Qi Yuan a piece of his mind.

Now caught in a dilemma, he could only play dead, but then... immense joy surged in his heart.

Has the Daoist... soared to great heights?

Wang Lingtong stole a glance at Jiang Ruhua, still slightly hopeful that this brother of his would really go...

Of course, he dared only to think about it, not even daring to think too much.

After all, the one before him was the ruthless being who ended the three thousand great calamities!

Under his command were thousands of Sun God Heavenly Venerables!

In the Higher Realm, he would surely be a supreme Venerable!

At this time, the seemingly languid Qi Yuan yawned, his eyes still carrying a heavy fatigue.

He swept his gaze over the Venerables present, and Jiang Ruhua, who seemed in need of urgent care, he slowly opened his mouth.

"The title of Human Emperor carries responsibility, and I... am not worthy."

One who claims to be the Human Emperor must shoulder the burden of Canglan.

Canglan Realm has been devoured by him, so how could he shoulder it?

Thus, he is not worthy!

All the Venerables, upon witnessing this, dared not speak, and there were even no dissenters.

After all, he was the Blood Sword God who devastated the great calamity!

His words held more sway than any decree or law.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ruhua was convinced in his heart that Qi Yuan was the true Qi Yuan.

Otherwise, why would these cultivators come here... to act in a play?

No wonder he could not discern the cultivation levels of these cultivators; the weakest among them... were probably Venerables.

"Senior should be the master of all under heaven!" Venerable White Fish bowed deeply, this once first person of Canglan Realm said.

The other Venerables echoed in agreement.

Now that the great calamity has been eliminated, if the Blood Sword God did not become the master of all under heaven, how could they exist?

After all, in today’s Canglan Realm, the stars of the heavens were no longer present, only ten suns hung high in the sky.

What future lay ahead, and which path should they take?

"Although the great calamity has been eliminated, your bodies still bear the marks left by the entity behind the calamity.

Therefore, I swallowed the Canglan Realm, placing it inside my Purple Mansion.

If you leave my Purple Mansion, should the entity behind the calamity desire revenge, a single thought would obliterate you all.

So... for the time being, you will reside within my Purple Mansion."

"I am quite generous. This time, without your consent, I’ve swallowed you all, a bit of strong-arming, but I won’t charge you rent," Qi Yuan stretched and said, his voice calm.

The Venerables around him looked at each other, some with faces of shock and suspicion.

At that moment, Wang Lingtong stepped forward and spoke loudly, "What Blood Sword God Senior says is true; I am from the Star Separation Realm. Our realm’s Heavenly Venerable once said that the entity behind the great calamity left a mark within our spiritual bodies. Our life and death hang on a single thought.

Now that the great calamity has dissipated, should that entity come to know, it might snuff out the marks, harvesting us all!"

The other cultivators broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this.

The calamity was so terrifying and overpowering; the one behind the calamity... was unimaginable.

All the schemes and thoughts they had prior to coming here became void.

Venerable White Fish stepped forward, his gaze steadfast, "Senior’s will is the will of Canglan Realm!"

In that moment, he did not mention the master of all under heaven.

After all, every being in Canglan Realm owed Qi Yuan.

"I have no interest in these things. I am simply a cultivator with no ambition, weak in strength, barely able to protect myself, a bit socially anxious and somewhat reclusive.

Alas, it’s the societal pressures that drive me.

If it weren’t for Heishan Sect’s outrageousness, Palace of Light’s excessive pressure, Dark Sun’s arrogant tyranny, and the great calamity’s cold-heartedness.

If it wasn’t for the fact that netizens constantly criticize me online, how would I be this tired?

I just hope to see a peaceful, friendly, harmonious world with a righteous Immortal Cultivation Method World. Just that simple."
