"Is this news true? Cheng Yu is really dead? " Yuan Yangzi held the jade slip in his hand with a joyful expression on his face as he looked at the person kneeling before him and asked.
"Reporting to Sect Master. This jade slip was sent back by Martial Uncle Feng Qingzi. We had also sent people to Death Swamp to understand the situation. According to those who had seen what happened that night, Cheng Yu had indeed been struck into the swamp and never came out again. But … "The kneeling young cultivator told him everything he knew.
"But what?" Yuan Yangzi frowned. Cheng Yu was Kunlun's sore point. Because of his existence, not only had it disrupted Kunlun's economic stronghold in Yunhai, it had also disrupted Kunlun's plans. In addition, the cultivators sent out by Kunlun had been killed by Cheng Yu multiple times. Yuan Yangzi's hatred towards Cheng Yu could be said to have entered the valley.
Now that he had finally heard the good news that Cheng Yu had been killed, he did not wish to create any more problems.
"After this incident, the Death Swamp's Purple Water, Purple Lotus, and Purple Sky Flying Alligator all faded in color.
It has returned to normal, "the young cultivator said truthfully.
"Fade? Have you investigated the reason behind this? "Yuan Yangzi asked, puzzled. He naturally knew what the Death Swamp was like. Originally, he had also gone to the Death Forest to explore, but he didn't know what secrets were inside the Death Forest.
"This … deserves to die! We haven't found the reason! "The young cultivator replied in fear and trepidation.
"Alright, you can go now!" Yuan Yangzi waved his hand and said.
"Yes!" The young cultivator cupped his fists and left the hall.
"Elders, now that Cheng Yu has died, what do you all think?" Yuan Yangzi looked at the few elders seated below him and laughed. With Cheng Yu dead, his mood had become a lot better.
"Sect Master, I heard that Cheng Yu is the vanguard of Limitless Palace. If we were to kill Cheng Yu in front of so many people, would Limitless Palace find trouble with us?" One of the elders spoke worriedly.
"Elder Ping, I think you are thinking too much. Since Cheng Yu is the vanguard of Limitless Palace, why would he come to the Cultivation World? I think he left his post without permission. I'm afraid that Limitless Palace would have already punished him. I think it's just that we found him first, so who can he blame for dying in the Forest of Death? When a sect disciple goes out to gain experience, there will always be some friction. It's very normal for someone to die. Besides, Cheng Xi is just a puny Foundation Establishment cultivator. I don't believe that Limitless Palace would come knocking on our door just for a little kid! "Another elder said with a smile.
"Elder Cheng is right. Even if the Limitless Palace really comes knocking on our door, we don't need to be careless.
The other elders also agreed with Elder Cheng's opinion.
"Limitless Palace, then Elder Ping doesn't have to worry. Now that Cheng Yu is dead, we should take back the resources he snatched from Yunhai! Yuan Yangzi also spoke.
"That's right. Although the secular world is indeed lacking in resources compared to the cultivation world, the amount of resources in a year is not small." Elder Qing said.
I feel that in the secular world, not only do we need to control resources, we also need to grasp absolute power. Otherwise, Cheng Yu's incident wouldn't have happened. As long as we have the power in the secular world, we can use secular force to punish them. There's also no need to go through so much trouble to mobilize the cultivation forces. This will easily arouse the resentment of the other sects. "Elder Cheng spoke.
"But with Cheng Yu's strength, how could the secular force be able to punish him?" Elder Ping Ping said disapprovingly. In his opinion, those secular people were simply ants. This time, if it wasn't because of the Golden Core disciple making a move, the Foundation Establishment disciples wouldn't be able to suppress him, let alone those secular people.
"Elder Ping, this is because you don't understand the secular world. The secular world uses laws to restrict the actions of the commoners. As long as you are in the secular world, you have to abide by these laws. Unless you don't wish to return to the secular world, otherwise, you will be the secular world's enemy. Just like our people, although we are cultivators, we have no choice but to abide by the secular world's laws. Otherwise, it would be hard for us to obtain a large amount of resources from the secular world. "Elder Cheng said complacently.
"Hmph!" When he saw Elder Cheng was suppressing him, Elder Ping was very unhappy.
"Good! Then let's listen to Elder Cheng and let the secular people hold the power! "Yuan Yangzi also felt that Elder Cheng's words were very reasonable. Therefore, he said happily.

Cheng Yu sat quietly in the secret room. His forehead was already covered in sweat. His complexion was slightly pale. His expression was somewhat distorted. His body was trembling slightly. If it was someone else, they would definitely think that Cheng Yu was in pain.
But in reality, Cheng Yu was indeed feeling very uncomfortable. Because Cheng Yu was currently doing something that even he himself didn't understand.
Originally, Cheng Yu had made sufficient preparations to attack the Golden Core Realm. Originally, the Qi in his body was slowly condensing. All of these were the signs of core formation.
Cheng Yu constantly absorbed the Spiritual Qi from the two spiritual veins. After that, through the circulation, he converted it into Qi and condensed it into his dantian. Meanwhile, the Qi in his dantian also started to revolve, slowly turning into the inner core.
If it was according to normal circumstances, this inner core would only need to condense once more before it would become a golden core. Cheng Yu was also very excited because core formation was already nearing its end. If there were no other words, the golden core would definitely be formed!
But at this moment, the situation of core formation changed! The inner core did not condense once more. Instead, it started to disperse.
"What's going on? Why is it like this? Why did the inner core disperse? " Cheng Yu was no longer calm. If he failed to form his core, it was very likely that he would never be able to form his core again. Furthermore, it would be a huge hindrance to his future cultivation.
The inner core was still dispersing, but it seemed to be moving according to some kind of pattern.
Cheng Yu had never encountered such a situation before. At this moment, other than continuously absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the outside world and continuously providing Qi for it to continue moving, Cheng Yu had no other way.
Time passed by minute by minute. Originally, he was prepared to be able to form his core in a day. Now, it was already the third day. Cheng Yu's body was like a child who couldn't be fed enough. For three days and two nights, he had been continuously pouring Qi into his dantian.
"Why? Why is it like this? "After three days, the situation of his dantian had also become obvious.
Cheng Yu looked at the results of the past three days. He didn't know how to describe his current mood because all the Qi that had been poured into his dantian had already turned into a tree! A tree with nine branches!
"What does this count as? Core formation failed? Then what's going on with this tree? "Cheng Yu finally stopped absorbing the Spiritual Qi and opened his eyes.
"Eh? Why is it like this? This … this strength! " Cheng Yu felt the strength in his body and released his aura. There was no golden light that was unique to Golden Core Realm experts. Only a huge tree shadow appeared behind Cheng Yu.
"This … this … this is obviously the strength of a Golden Core Realm cultivator. What exactly is going on?" Cheng Yu was shocked to the point that he didn't know how to adapt to all this.
"I don't have a Golden Core, but I have the strength of a Golden Core. In the future, how am I going to form my Nascent Soul?" Thinking of his future path, Cheng Yu was at a loss.
Possessing the strength of a Golden Core was something that countless cultivators yearned for even in their dreams. But in this situation, Cheng Yu was unable to be happy because he didn't have a Golden Core.
Without a Golden Core, it meant that he was unable to break the core and form his Nascent Soul. Could it be that he had to break the tree to form his Nascent Soul? This was too ridiculous! Besides, this Qi tree didn't have the same aura as a Golden Core.
"Sigh! What kind of sin did I commit? Forming a Golden Core like this? I'm afraid that in this world, Cheng Yu was the number one!
Originally, he thought that forming his core this time would be foolproof, but he didn't expect that there would still be an accident. Furthermore, it was an accident that Cheng Yu couldn't understand.
He thought that after surviving a great calamity, there will be good fortune in the future. So it was just a dream.
Cheng Yu laid on his back in the secret room, looking at the ceiling listlessly. His heart was at a loss. He didn't know what to do in the future. He felt that he suddenly had no future.
Suddenly, the figures of a few women flashed past Cheng Yu's mind. Yang Ruoxue, Lan Ya, Han Xue, Lin Yuhan, Yao Na, these five beautiful faces appeared in front of him. Following that, there was his cute cousin, Keke, aunt, uncle, father, mother, grandparents, family and friends.
"I once promised that I would let all of them live forever, no longer having to endure the separation of death and aging. But now, I can't even save myself, so how am I going to save them! " Recalling everything that had happened since he came to this new world, recalling the oath he made, all of these scenes seemed to have happened yesterday. However, he no longer had the fighting spirit from before.
"Trash! I actually followed such a good-for-nothing master like you! So infuriating! "Suddenly, an extremely unwilling and angry voice resounded in his mind.
"Who? Who's talking? "Cheng Yu sat up, looking around as he spoke loudly.
"Stop looking. It's in your head!" The voice resounded once again.
"What! In my head? Who are you? When did you run in! "Cheng Yu was shocked. Searching in his mind, he felt a consciousness.
"Idiot, didn't you refine the Soul Suppressing Pagoda? I am the artifact spirit of the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, Soul Suppressing Pagoda! "Soul Suppressor said unhappily.
"Oh, so it's you. Are you alright?" At this moment, Cheng Yu remembered that he still had a few artifact spirits on him. However, they seemed to be injured and had fallen into a deep slumber.
"Of course. If it wasn't because the Soul Suppressing Pagoda had already recognized you as its master, I would be too lazy to care about you." At that time, when Soul Suppressor saw the secret room opening again, it used its last bit of energy to escape. In the end, it was blocked by the purple water and was forced to recognize Cheng Yu as its master.
As a soul artifact, how could it be willing to recognize a Foundation Establishment brat as its master? To them, this was simply a humiliation.
"Me? What's wrong with me? "Cheng Yu was puzzled.
"Low cultivation, weak willpower, no fighting spirit. You didn't even succeed in forming your core. Is this not bad enough?" Soul Suppressor spoke disdainfully.
"You … who said I failed? I already possess the strength of Golden Core Realm," Cheng Yu was speechless, but he couldn't show weakness in front of others.
