My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

Chapter 26: Calamity of Bloodshed

The various sect cultivators landed, their expressions varied.

Qi Yuan stood aside, already knowing the leaders of each sect.

Because the foundation establishment spiritual item this time was first-grade, the people sent by each sect were stronger than usual.

In past foundation establishment conferences, no Core Formation true cultivators would attend.

But this time, there were four.

Two from Floating Mountain and Demon Desire Sect.

Representing the Great Shang Nation, the King of Changshan County.

And the Ancestor Worship Chicken from Black Mountain Sect.

According to the unspoken rules of the cultivation world, apart from the three major sects and the Great Shang Nation, other sects, even if they valued it, could not send Core Formation true cultivators.

But Black Mountain Sect was arrogant and had always pushed to become the fourth major sect, so they sent Ancestor Worship Chicken.

Behind these strong figures stood some Foundation Establishment elders and disciples at the peak of Qi Refinement.

Many of those disciples at the peak of Qi Refinement had sharp eyes, clearly hoping to make a mark at this foundation establishment conference.

Some disciples from smaller sects, however, looked a bit nervous, obviously afraid of not performing well.

The King of Changshan County was a handsome man with a beautiful beard. He wore silk and satin clothes, striding forward towards Qi Yuan, with a smile on his face: "Where is your sect master? Not in closed-door cultivation, I hope? After the foundation establishment conference, have him join me for a few drinks!"

The King of Changshan County appeared very carefree. He was a Core Formation true cultivator but spoke with a bold air.

The other Core Formation true cultivators present looked at the King of Changshan County with some awe.

After all, the King of Changshan County was the father of the current empress of the Great Shang Nation, giving him strong confidence.

"After the foundation establishment conference, the king may inquire with our sect elders." Qi Yuan's thoughts wandered.

If the King of Changshan County knew his daughter was involved with the sect master, would he still be able to drink happily with the sect master?

After all, the sect master was much older than the King of Changshan County.

Qi Yuan was the chief disciple of Seven-Colored Peak. Though only at the peak of Qi Refinement, his status was just slightly below that of a Core Formation cultivator, and he was representing Shen Guang Sect.

So, these Core Formation cultivators conversed with him on equal terms.

At this moment, Ancestor Worship Chicken of Black Mountain Sect spoke impatiently: "Why hasn’t the foundation establishment conference started yet? I need to get back and raise chicks."

The other sect elders present had slightly changed expressions, clearly displeased with Ancestor Worship Chicken’s words.

The King of Changshan County laughed heartily: "Why so impatient, Ancestor Worship Chicken? It won't take long."

Seeing the King of Changshan County speak, Ancestor Worship Chicken gave him face.

If it had been anyone else, he would have retorted.

Qi Yuan also spoke: "Everyone, please!"

Ancestor Worship Chicken, originally named Kunshan Master, later recognized the old black chicken demon as a foster father along with the sect master of Black Mountain Sect, thus changing his name to Ancestor Worship Chicken.

The group followed Qi Yuan, slowly walking into Shen Guang Sect.

The leading elders chatted as they walked.

As for the others, they remained silent.

At this moment, a rather frivolous voice sounded: "Yo, isn't this Jiang Ran? How did you escape to Shen Guang Sect?"

Everyone turned to look at a frivolous-looking Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Within Shen Guang Sect, a young girl turned pale.

She was Jiang Ran.

Qi Yuan had met her twice.

Qi Yuan knew Jiang Ran had a special constitution and was regarded as a furnace by the old black chicken demon.

Previously, Jiang Ran had complained about Black Mountain Sect with Jiang Lingsu.

Qi Yuan looked at the frivolous-looking man.

[He is an ordinary demonic cultivator. His face is faintly dark, indicating a calamity of bloodshed.]

The disciples of Shen Guang Sect also looked at the frivolous-looking man, all with angry expressions, gnashing their teeth.

"Chu Tianxiong!"

"How dare you come to our Shen Guang Sect!"

"Unforgivable!"

The frivolous-looking man was Chu Tianxiong, who had committed heinous crimes in Rong City.

He had raped several newlywed women and killed their entire families.

Zheng Jianghe led the Golden Light Hall to capture Chu Tianxiong.
However, a Foundation Establishment peak elder from Black Mountain Sect appeared, injured Zheng Jianghe, and rescued Chu Tianxiong, acting extremely arrogantly.

Chu Tianxiong, hearing the Shen Guang Sect disciples, sneered even more: "Your gnashing teeth look just like that Zheng Jianghe from a while ago."

The disciples of Shen Guang Sect were even more furious upon hearing this.

After all, Senior Brother Zheng Jianghe was injured because of Chu Tianxiong.

And Chu Tianxiong had not been punished for his crimes.

At Shen Guang Sect's mountain gate, several elderly men with white hair were kneeling, exposed to the elements. They were the relatives of the victims!

As for the families of the grooms, none survived; it was truly tragic.

At this moment, Qi Yuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Dao brother, I have recently studied a divination technique. May I read your fortune?"

Chu Tianxiong was stunned, squinting: "Feel free to do so, Junior Brother."

"I see that your face is dark; you will likely encounter a calamity of bloodshed soon." Qi Yuan said softly.

His words caused a silence; no one spoke.

Chu Tianxiong’s face showed anger. He seemed about to lose his temper, but Ancestor Worship Chicken stopped him.

Hearing the transmission, Chu Tianxiong said "Good" three times in succession, then said: "Thank you for your kind words, Junior Brother. I will remember them!"

Black Mountain Sect did not fear Shen Guang Sect but did not dare provoke Seven-Colored Peak.

...

The incident passed, and the foundation establishment conference began.

The disciples from various sects at the peak of Qi Refinement took to the stage one after another.

The foundation establishment conference was simple, just dueling.

Qi Yuan found it quite boring.

After all, in the game world, he was invincible. Watching such low-level battles was dull.

If there weren't so many people, he would have taken out his game jade slip to play.

At this moment, a voice sounded in Qi Yuan's ear.

"Senior Brother, it's your turn."

Seeing this, Qi Yuan slowly walked onto the stage.

The Core Formation true cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators all focused on Qi Yuan.

After all, Qi Yuan was the chief disciple of Seven-Colored Peak, with a very special status.

"Duantian Jiao from Demon Desire Sect greets Senior Brother." Duantian Jiao was dressed in black, with a curvaceous figure and a tear mole under her left eye, looking particularly charming.

"Qi Yuan of Shen Guang Sect." Qi Yuan introduced himself.

He also sized up Duantian Jiao.

[She is an ordinary cultivator but has a little quirk: she likes to pick her feet. Be careful not to get kicked by her, or you might get athlete’s foot.]

Qi Yuan was momentarily stunned. This beautiful girl, despite her appearance, was skilled in biochemical attacks. He needed to be cautious.

"Begin!" With the sound of a bell, the battle commenced.

Qi Yuan was extremely cautious, keeping his eyes on Duantian Jiao's feet.

When he saw Duantian Jiao flying towards him, he raised his hand lightly.

However, before he could use his power, something surprising happened.

"Poof..."

Duantian Jiao flew out, vomiting blood.

"Senior Brother, as expected of the chief disciple of Seven-Colored Peak, your acupoint hitting technique from a distance is formidable. Tian Jiao admits defeat!" Duantian Jiao stood up and surrendered.

Qi Yuan was dumbfounded: "I hadn't even exerted force, and you fell?"

No, he hadn't even made a move, and the opponent lost?

Was there a conspiracy in this foundation establishment conference?

The other sect elders and Qi Refinement disciples were not surprised.

But some disciples looked at Qi Yuan with a hint of jealousy.
