Ouyang Ye shook her head.
Although she had been constantly thinking of Gu Qingfeng in her heart, she knew nothing about him.
She didn't know why he possessed the Bedrock Physique, nor why he had Absolute Power.
She didn't even know Gu Qingfeng's background or identity.
She didn't even know what kind of person he truly was.
How could she possibly know why his Golden Core was so powerful and bizarre?
"I've also heard that Young Lord Chiyan's Golden Core power is bizarre and extremely strong, as if endless and inexhaustible," Han Dong also asked. "Could it be that he, like Ye Ye, achieved some kind of Fortune Golden Core?"
"Sister Han Dong, Gu Qingfeng's Golden Core didn't have any Fortune," Ouyang Ye had just finished speaking when Qian Shan said, "Wrong."
"Huh? Sister Qian Shan, I remember very clearly that Gu Qingfeng didn't have any Fortune on his entire body, including his Golden Core."
"That's just because you didn't know."
"Ah? What's going on?"
"Only Su Hua and I know about this matter. Originally, we didn't want to say it because it's too terrifying and could even affect the world and cause great chaos. But since Gu Qingfeng is already dead, it's fine to tell you."
Too terrifying? And could affect the world and cause great chaos?
Ouyang Ye and Han Dong were both frightened by Qian Shan's words. After a while, Ouyang Ye asked in a deep voice, "Sister Qian Shan, are you talking about that guy Gu Qingfeng's Golden Core?"
Seeing Qian Shan nod.
Ouyang Ye and Han Dong both found it incomprehensible. What kind of Golden Core could be so terrifying as to affect the world and cause great chaos?
If someone else had said this, the two would have certainly taken it as a joke, but it was precisely Qian Shan who said it, which made them shocked.
"Ye Ye, do you remember that day at the Taixuan Platform, when Gu Qingfeng disappeared for a period of time?"
"I remember. At that time, Gu Qingfeng's spiritual power was very unstable, preparing to condense a Golden Core. But later it was said that the Golden Core he condensed was too turbid and also very unstable, with the danger of exploding. It was said that Gu Qingfeng had to personally destroy the Golden Core to save his life, and it was even said by Sister Su Hua herself."
"Gu Qingfeng did personally destroy the Golden Core he condensed, but not because the Golden Core he condensed was too turbid."
"Then why?"
Qian Shan didn't respond immediately. Instead, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, as if recalling something. These memories seemed to deeply affect her heart, as even now, thinking about it made her heart tremble uncontrollably. She said, "That's because what he condensed wasn't an ordinary Golden Core, but the legendary Taiji Golden Core!"
Boom!
The words "Taiji Golden Core" struck, causing Ouyang Ye and Han Dong's minds to go blank instantly, their thoughts freezing.
Among all cultivators, no one didn't know the name Taiji Golden Core. Many ancient texts had records of the Taiji Golden Core, and everyone knew it was a legend.
A legend hailed as the supreme king among cores.
Legend said that condensing a Taiji Golden Core meant one could inherit the True Fate and aspire to become a Human King.
What True Fate was, they might not know.
But what a Human King was, no one didn't know.
The king among humans, also the master who controlled the laws of humanity.
But legends were, after all, just legends.
Apart from seeing records about the Taiji Golden Core in ancient texts, no one had ever seen one. Not in the Present Era, nor in the Ancient Era.
Now, hearing Qian Shan say that Gu Qingfeng condensed a legendary Taiji Golden Core, how could the two not be shocked?
Not to mention them, even Aunt Xue was so shocked that she emerged from the bracelet, exclaiming in horror, "Someone in the Present Era really condensed a Taiji Golden Core?"
Qian Shan nodded solemnly, "Yes."
"The Taiji Golden Core didn't appear even once in ten thousand years of the Ancient Era. Who would have thought that in just a hundred years of the Present Era, someone has achieved this supreme core among cores that grants the potential of a Human King. It's truly unbelievable."
Aunt Xue seemed to remember something else and asked, "Has that person crossed the Taiji Tribulation?"
"No..." "Right, he shouldn't have. If he had crossed the Taiji Tribulation, there would definitely have been heavenly omens, and the world's structure would have been thrown into chaos..." "Heavens! Gu Qingfeng condensed... a Taiji Golden Core... Heavens! Heavens!"
Ouyang Ye came back to her senses, also feeling as if the sky and earth were spinning. She kept muttering "heavens" over and over. Suddenly, she remembered something else and asked, "Wait, Sister Qian Shan, since that guy Gu Qingfeng condensed a Taiji Golden Core, why did he personally destroy it... Is he an idiot? Or a fool? That's a Taiji Golden Core!"
"I think the real Gu Qingfeng didn't personally destroy the Taiji Golden Core; he should have failed the tribulation crossing," Aunt Xue said. "When a Taiji Golden Core appears, it will inevitably attract the Taiji Tribulation. Only by crossing it can one achieve a true Taiji Golden Core. If the tribulation crossing fails, the Taiji Golden Core will dissipate like smoke, ultimately just a dream."
Qian Shan shook her head, "No! He didn't fail the tribulation crossing. He didn't even undergo the tribulation. The Taiji Golden Core was indeed personally destroyed by him."
"Why?" "Why? I don't know either."
Aunt Xue spoke again, "If he really personally destroyed the Taiji Golden Core, then there's only one possibility: he was afraid of failing the tribulation crossing. Because if he failed, not only would the Taiji Golden Core dissipate like smoke, but whether his life could be preserved would also be unknown. Rather than losing his life, it was better to personally destroy the Taiji Golden Core."
Ouyang Ye said indignantly, "Heavens! That's such a pity! If it were me, I'd rather give it a try! If you gamble, there's still hope of success. If you don't gamble, there's no hope at all. After all, it's a Taiji Golden Core! How could he just give up like that? Even if it cost my life, I'd gamble!"
Not only Ouyang Ye thought this way, but Han Dong did too, and even Aunt Xue felt extremely regretful.
They believed that if anyone else achieved a Taiji Golden Core, they would rather risk their life and gamble spectacularly. No one would want to regret it for a lifetime.
"Such a pity! Truly such a pity..." Aunt Xue shook her head and sighed. "What's even more regrettable is that Young Lord Chiyan is also dead. Otherwise, I'd really like to see with my own eyes what kind of person this master who achieved a Taiji Golden Core is."
"Aunt Xue, do you think it's a pity?" Qian Shan asked a strange question. Aunt Xue said doubtfully, "Isn't it a pity?"
"At first, Su Hua and I also felt extremely regretful, and even thought he didn't dare to cross the tribulation, which is why he personally destroyed a Taiji Golden Core."
"What do you mean?"
Qian Shan's words plunged Aunt Xue and the other two into confusion. If it wasn't because he was afraid of failing the tribulation crossing, why would he personally destroy a Taiji Golden Core?
Even the stupidest person wouldn't do that, right?
Especially since that guy Gu Qingfeng was so cunning.
At this moment, Ouyang Ye suddenly said, "That's not right! Sister Qian Shan, if that guy Gu Qingfeng personally destroyed the Taiji Golden Core, then why did he still possess that terrifying Golden Core power when he saved Little Jin'er at the Fengyun Branch? Did you see wrong? Or were you deceived by him? Did he not destroy the Taiji Golden Core?"
"No! We weren't deceived. Gu Qingfeng did personally destroy a Taiji Golden Core. The reason he still possessed Golden Core power when saving Little Jin'er was because he didn't achieve just one Taiji Golden Core, but two!"
