The Golden Elixir is A Star, and You Call This Cultivation?
Chapter 1449 - 627: Peacemaker Qi Yuan

Chapter 1449: Chapter 627: Peacemaker Qi Yuan

Qi Yuan was somewhat surprised, but his eyes soon cleared.

"Is that so?"

Having passed the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations, he was nearly omniscient and omnipotent.

With a slight perception, he understood the cause and effect of this matter.

Of course, this ability was limited to ordinary realms of the Universe.

In realms like the Abandoned Land that were devoid of all, this ability was greatly constrained.

Therefore, for Qi Yuan, entering the Abandoned Land to find Wu Shi was still somewhat challenging.

"It seems that this game mission does have some difficulty," Qi Yuan thought to himself.

The content of this mission was simple: to protect the Abandoned Land and prevent it from being obliterated.

This was something even the peak existences among the San Sheng found difficult to accomplish.

For the current Qi Yuan, it was indeed challenging.

However, compared to the San Sheng, he possessed academic qualifications, a smart brain, and was particularly good at devising plans.

The advantage was his.

Completing the game was not a problem.

At that moment, Qi Yuan looked towards Feng Ye and said indifferently, "I am preparing to host a banquet, a small gathering. Go and invite Black Sky God Lord."

Qi Yuan was a man of rules.

Moreover, he was highly intelligent and cunning, never killing the innocent without cause.

Therefore, it was necessary to invite Black Sky God Lord.

On the other hand.

As Feng Ye stepped into the area where Black Sky God Lord was, upon hearing his intentions, surprise flickered in the latter’s eyes.

"What, Brother Qi Yuan is inviting me to meet?"

Over the years, he had not seen Qi Yuan.

His good friend, the Swallowing Star God Lord, kept suggesting that perhaps Qi Yuan had heard some rumors and did not dare to meet him.

Black Sky naturally felt that his judgment of character couldn’t be wrong, but couldn’t help being influenced by Swallowing Star God Lord’s constant reminders.

Furthermore, Qi Yuan had been in seclusion all along.

Some doubts had arisen in his heart too.

Regardless, it was unimportant. He had distanced himself from Qi Yuan so as not to involve him.

Now, Qi Yuan was out of seclusion, inviting him.

A trace of shame emerged in his heart.

He probably shouldn’t have harbored such thoughts.

"I..." Black Sky God Lord hesitated.

He didn’t want to entangle Qi Yuan any further.

"The prince said that you must attend this gathering!" Feng Ye emphasized.

After hesitating for a moment, Black Sky God Lord shook his head: "I will go."

With a nervously beating heart, Black Sky God Lord arrived at Qi Yuan’s residence.

He felt somewhat melancholic, yet also somewhat grateful.

However, he understood that after this gathering, he must dissociate himself from Qi Yuan, making the risks clear.

Otherwise, even if Qi Yuan was a descendant of Tiankai, offending that person would probably make it hard to stay alive.

After all, Tiankai had many descendants.

They wouldn’t particularly favor just one of them.

"Brother Black Sky, long time no see. Have you eaten yet?"

Just then, Qi Yuan came out, draped in a robe that was unspeakably noble.

He opened with a question about whether Black Sky had eaten yet.

Black Sky God Lord was taken aback.

You invite me to a gathering and then ask if I’ve eaten.

If I say I have eaten, are you going to send me away?

"Not yet," Black Sky God Lord managed a smile.

Ever since Swallowing Star God Lord left to seek a breakthrough, his residence had been deserted, with hardly anyone visiting.

The True Gods he had befriended and helped evaded him like venomous scorpions.

"Just as well, I’ve ordered quite a spread prepared downstairs, sure to give you full reign to feast to your heart’s content," Qi Yuan said casually.

Black Sky God Lord smiled, though the smile was forced.

Observing this, the always attentive Qi Yuan hurriedly added, "Rest assured, the meal I prepared is sumptuous, not pre-made or secretly ordered ready-made meals. You have helped me quite a bit before; inviting you to a meal, it should at least be claypot chicken or pig trotter rice—something worthy of the occasion."

Although Black Sky God Lord did not understand Qi Yuan’s references, he laughed heartily: "Three thousand years apart, Brother Qi Yuan still possesses the same charm."

He found the feeling of old times.

Now, at Ten Thousand Gods Mountain, probably only Qi Yuan would treat him this way.

Plus the Swallowing Star God Lord who was still outside.

Qi Yuan nodded and got right to the point: "In ancient times, it was common for people to hold banquets and act as mediators. Today, I invite you here also to mediate and solve your problems, and incidentally, to repay your kindness."

This was his purpose.

Upon hearing this, Black Sky God Lord’s expression faltered slightly: "Mediator?"

He somewhat grasped Qi Yuan’s meaning.

But... not everyone is qualified to be a mediator.

After all, he was the catalyst that had passed the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations.

To impede would incur the wrath of thwarting one’s path.

Even Tiankai couldn’t assume the role of mediator.

In Ten Thousand Gods Mountain, the one possibly qualified to be a mediator was probably that one Emperor God.

"Brother Qi Yuan, that person... comes from extraordinary origins, please do not offend them," Black Sky God Lord hastily advised.

He feared Qi Yuan was unaware of the other’s prowess and background.

That one, could it be from the Yang Realm?

"How could that be? If nobody offends me, I do not offend anybody, I’m a person who abides by order and kindness; I never randomly offend others, right, Black Charcoal?"

Qi Yuan shouted towards the screen behind him.

The Black Sky God Lord was taken aback, only to see a Daoist in a black robe slowly walking out from behind the screen.

The fear in this Daoist’s eyes had yet to settle, and it seemed his heart was full of terror.

Upon seeing this person, the Black Sky God Lord became confused.

Isn’t that the Daoist?

How did he get here?

And in such a manner?

And what did Qi Yuan just call him?

Black Charcoal?

His mind was in turmoil, unsure of what had just happened.

At this moment, Qi Yuan said, "Black Charcoal, you should recognize this one, he is the Black Sky God Lord who you thought to use to avoid the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations."

Hearing this, the Black Sky God Lord confirmed in his heart that it was indeed him.

The "Black Charcoal" Daoist quickly nodded: "Correct, senior."

Only the ghosts know, he was in seclusion and cultivating, preparing to confront the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations.

But suddenly, a vast and boundless power directly abducted him.

Being a Daoist, he actually had no ability to resist.

At first, he thought it was the Emperor God who made a move.

But then he realized, he was grossly mistaken.

This mysterious and powerful being was even more fearsome than the Emperor God who had surpassed the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations.

Abducting him right off the turf of the Emperor God in Ten Thousand Gods Mountain without the Emperor God even being aware.

This was definitely a peer at the same level.

Even to say, stronger than the Emperor God.

Such a terrifyingly powerful being, to have targeted him.

His life and death were completely in the hands of Qi Yuan.

"I organized this dinner today, you two should understand, right?" Qi Yuan scanned the two, his voice very calm.

Both the Black Sky God Lord and "Black Charcoal" Daoist’s hearts went cold, both feeling vastly different.

"Sigh, Yin Realm, Yang Realm, as well as the Rebirth Realm... you two are considered the same being, if we have to say, you are somewhat brothers.

I, for one, can’t stand to see brother killing brother.

Black Charcoal, how about this, if I can write a poem within seven steps that touches you to tears, you won’t make things hard for the Black Sky God Lord, how about that?" Qi Yuan looked towards "Black Charcoal" Daoist, his voice still calm.

He’s preparing to plagiarize again.

When "Black Charcoal" Daoist heard this, what else could he do but nod?

If he were to refuse, he’d probably end up being used by Qi Yuan to help the Black Sky God Lord withstand the calamities and tribulations instead.

Now, whatever Qi Yuan says, he has to listen and cooperate.

The Black Sky God Lord beside him had a shocked expression that lingered for a long time.

He even doubted whether he was about to die and was having delusions.

But he’s a God Lord, how could this be so?

"Alright, I start walking now."

"One step!"

Qi Yuan started moving and began to recite the plagiarized poetry, his delivery filled with emotion and verve.

He even intentionally used a voiceover tone, mixed with some electronic and bubble sounds.

"Boiling beans to make a broth, filtering the beans ...

...

Originally from the same root, why the haste to fry one another?"

With Qi Yuan’s footsteps, a poem was also completed in this moment.

Qi Yuan was about to speak and see "Black Charcoal" Daoist’s reaction, but when he looked up, he saw that he had walked all the way to the Abandoned Land in seven steps.

He hurried back.

"Whoops, I didn’t realize I took such a big step, but the poem... you heard it, right?" Qi Yuan returned to the banquet, feeling fortunate in his heart.

Good thing he’s into Immortal Cultivation, otherwise with such big steps, he could have strained something, and if he ripped his pants, that would be really embarrassing.

"I heard it." Black Charcoal Daoist now just felt bewildered, as if a hundred thousand strange beasts were running through his head.

He didn’t understand Qi Yuan’s actions at all.

"How is this poem, are you touched to tears?" asked Qi Yuan.

The poem is well written.

And with his emotional recitation, wouldn’t he easily place in the top three at an elementary school reading competition?

Moving Black Charcoal Daoist, a piece of cake.

"I... am very touched." Black Charcoal Daoist didn’t dare move.

Faced with breakthrough or death, he chose to cower.

"I’m sorry." He apologized directly to Qi Yuan, even purposely squeezing out "tears of being touched" in his eyes.

If it weren’t for the Black Sky God Lord being there, he would probably have to kowtow to Qi Yuan right then.

As for the dignity and face of the Daoist...

What are those?

He’s not one of those ascetic cultivators.

With his special constitution and extraordinary birth, he broke through to Daoist by using Divine Treasures without much cultivation.

"No, I hate it most when people say they’re sorry to me!"

At this moment, Qi Yuan felt a chill.

Saying sorry to him made people shut up as if in the presence of chilling cicadas.
