The Golden Elixir is A Star, and You Call This Cultivation?
Chapter 1360 - 584: Kill

Chapter 1360: Chapter 584: Kill

The deputy head of the Everchanging Society, with a flash of clarity in his muddled eyes, moved his lips to briefly respond: "Alright."

Qi Yuan’s figure disappeared, and he murmured, "The path of cultivation is too difficult."

In the withered cave dwelling, only a frail old man remained, his eyes murky, without a spark of light, looking as lonely and empty as a solitary elder, seemingly awaiting nothing but oblivion.

"If I were to build a mental hospital, not only could I seize a business opportunity to make money, but it would also allow for humanitarian care; maybe even win an award from Blue Star for touching lives. I truly am a genius."

Qi Yuan whispered.

...

Half a day passed.

In the Zhi Shan Pavilion, Qi Yuan saw towering mountains in front of him, craggy rocks, without the verdure of bamboo anymore.

"This Land of Opportunity, to hammer one’s True Spirit amidst appreciating the scenery, is quite unique."

"Considering the mountains’ fragility, their richness, their leanness, I reflect on the flickering of the True Spirit."

Qi Yuan, in his crimson robe, looked like a mountain climber, with no mana circulating through him, climbing this mountain.

At the top, there was a pavilion, Zhi Shan Pavilion, capturing the most beautiful scenery.

Along the way, Qi Yuan saw many climbers.

In his eyes, these climbers were children, old people, and robust men.

Regardless of their form, the higher they went, the more aged they appeared, like old men, their True Spirits increasingly withering.

Only Qi Yuan, whose True Spirit remained as pure as ever, shone bright like the Great Sun, illuminating all.

"The old man from the Everchanging Society said that being powerful is a calamity."

"Perhaps, it’s just because he isn’t powerful enough."

"Being powerful... can also be a blessing."

"But... in this world, how few are there like me, who strive so hard, bursting with opportunities?"

In just three quarters of an hour, seasons passed spring and autumn in the Zhi Shan Pavilion.

Qi Yuan, in his Blood Robe, climbed to the mountaintop, as if looking down on all other mountains.

When he peered into the Zhi Shan Pavilion, he saw an old woman in her twilight years.

She half-squinted, leaning in the pavilion, seemingly basking in the sun.

"Someone has come?"

The old woman opened her eyes, which were characteristically cloudy, clearly very ill.

Perhaps because of her old age, her face appeared somewhat gentle.

Seeing the old woman, Qi Yuan smiled, "Old lady, would you like to move to the mental hospital I’m building?"

Men are called old men, and women naturally old ladies.

He couldn’t miss this business opportunity.

Although the mental hospital hadn’t been built yet, he could start building it now in the Netherworld.

"Being old, it’s inconvenient to move, I won’t go, young man," the old woman kindly said, her eyes lively as she looked at the youthful Qi Yuan, "If I were decades younger, at the age of young admiration, I would definitely steal you to be my boy toy."

"That would be illegal!" Qi Yuan quickly covered his chest.

It’s really too dangerous for a man to travel alone.

The old woman chuckled, "Won’t you come sit?"

It seemed she was too old, even speaking seemed to exhaust all her strength.

"Since I’ve come this far, even if I meet another old lady below, I still have to enter this Zhi Shan Pavilion. I am a strong young man, after all."

Qi Yuan said, sitting in the Zhi Shan Pavilion near the old woman.

The old woman shook her head: "It seems you are quite ill too."

This shake of her head was like a fleeting glimmer.

"I’m not sick," Qi Yuan replied.

He could sense that she was like a candle flickering in the wind.

The old woman struggled to lift her head, looking at the scenery ahead.

"When I was young, I always climbed mountains, always thinking that the scenery up here must be beautiful. But I never expected, when I reach the top... to feel so alone, with the scenery so desolate."

"I wonder, countless Eras later, the future me, whether I will climb this peak again, and then... sit again in this Zhi Shan Pavilion."

The old woman reflected.

In the Dao Lord’s tradition, or within the Universe.

Time is cyclical.

This time she became old, climbed the mountain, sat in Zhi Shan Pavilion.

Who knows how long it will be before the next cycle, perhaps there will be a new her, climbing the mountain, sitting here again.

"I wonder if I will meet you again, to view the scenery from this mountain top together," the old woman sighed.

"I’m not sure if we will meet again in the future, but this is the first time; if we do meet again, I will greet you," Qi Yuan said.

The old woman looked at Qi Yuan, then at the mountains, murmuring, "People are more pleasing to the eye than the scenery."

As her words fell, the old woman’s white hair drooped, as if she had fallen asleep.

In the silence, within Zhi Shan Pavilion, this unknown Realm Lord, ultimately did not break through to the Fourth Level of the Sun God, quietly passing away.

The wind blew, and the craggy steep cliffs of the mountain, without many ancient trees to accompany their roar.

Qi Yuan watched the aged old woman, his expression calm.

"So, about having a second child?"

"If all fails, forge ten billion Golden Cores."

In the days that followed, Qi Yuan visited other Lands of Opportunity.

His strength also grew crazily.

His True Spirit remained as pure and strong as ever.

But he never encountered another powerful being like the old woman again.

After all, according to the deputy head of the Everchanging Society, there were fewer than twenty such powerful beings in the Universe Void Realm.

It wasn’t so easy to encounter them.

Returning from Thunderfall Mountain, Qi Yuan arrived at his temporary residence in the Void Cloud Pavilion.

"Greetings, Lord Qi Yuan."

The young and beautiful woman bowed respectfully, her eyes not daring to meet Qi Yuan’s gaze.

She was an external member of the Everchanging Society, merely at the Second Level of the Sun God.

This time, she was specifically in charge of taking care of Qi Yuan’s "daily needs" and communicating with the forces behind various Lands of Opportunity.

She understood how extraordinary the man before her was within the Everchanging Society.

Even the deputy head of the Everchanging Society had intervened on his behalf during a conflict with the Assembly Leader of Tiantang.

If nothing unexpected happened, perhaps in the future, this Realm Lord, would hold the Purple Jade, becoming an influential figure like a deputy head.
