Yun Zhita left Meng Yu’s courtyard, and outside, a large crowd was already waiting for her.

She had been polite and courteous in Xiao Jun’s courtyard, not getting angry even when beaten, and later persuaded everyone that peace was precious, giving them the feeling of being warmed by a spring breeze, gentle and moving.

However, even the most gentle and moving person possessed the power of a Golden Core.

Whether it was the Immortal Sect, the Blood God Sect, or the Guanghan Palace, once a person achieved Golden Core, they wielded various powers and responsibilities. For instance, she had become the governor of several planets, holding the power of life and death over countless people. All she needed to do was pay taxes on time, revere the Blood God, and strike down evil cults. Beyond that, she was like the Earth Emperor, free to do as she pleased.

In the eyes of countless people, this was an existence at the very pinnacle, but for those with a Golden Core, it wasn’t necessarily so wonderful...

The clouds outside the flying boat were black, as the pollution on Ceres had worsened over the years. Even cultivators, despite their best efforts, could hardly prevent it, not to mention the tangled interests or the potential to shut down factories leading to more people starving or going bankrupt.

The Blood God blessed them all, but how the people below lived was a major issue.

In this world, souls that died could either be torn apart or toyed with by evil gods in alternate spaces, and only successful cultivation offered a chance for salvation.

As for ordinary people, they either worshipped the Blood God or, like the Immortal Sect, promoted the Growing Golden Lotus. However, anyone with a bit of brains or talent was trying to cultivate.

Groups of men and women were busy on the deck, working incredibly hard. Their true identities were often the sons and daughters of corporate magnates or distinguished achievers, or because they were smart and capable. But here, they were merely plain staff members, yet even such roles were fiercely contested. Read exclusive adventures at freewebnovel

Merely having the chance to progress from Acquired to Innate, or to touch Foundation Establishment.

Below the flying boat, there were skyscrapers stretching into the clouds and chaotic slums. Civilization and savagery were often just a wall apart, and this was still regulated Ceres.

When life and death were no longer balanced, when transcendence appeared among humankind, everything changed.

This was the best of times, Golden Core rule based on planets, where one could command billions of people. It was also the worst times, as whether it was the Blood God Sect, Guanghan Palace, or the Immortal Sect, everyone was engulfed in confusion.

Technological advancement was locked down; computing power, once exceeding a certain level, would lead to disaster; narrow interstellar channels could hardly bear huge capacities, disasters on the planets erupted one after another. People unable to cultivate sought various dangerous paths; beneath the city were places like underground dens, various horrific weapons circulated in the black market, and the evil gods never ceased in the darkness. Tragedy upon tragedy left people speechless.

Human civilization was like an island in a dark sea, where dark forces surged constantly. Only Qi Refinement Practitioners earnestly held up the lamp of civilization, guiding everything.

Xiao Jun felt a bit embarrassed, worried that she might harbor resentment from being beaten, but it really was nothing significant.

"Look into Xiao Jun, see what he needs, what his thoughts are, and draft a plan to... set him up as a Golden Core peak expert."

She gave such instructions.

During this once-in-a-millennium grand ceremony, numerous governors and Golden Core experts had arrived here with one crucial task – to recruit outstanding subordinates.

Cannons, armies, and warships were useful, but cultivators were the real backbone.

...

That evening, the news that Xiao Jun was invincible in close combat spread out.

The process couldn’t be concealed, especially as several of them had come with specific missions.

Now, returning to debrief, they naturally had to make clear what had happened to their superiors or let them view the recordings to understand the situation.

The only thing they could guarantee was that the superiors would watch the recording but not transfer it.

The news spread rapidly, leaving everyone incredulous.

How could there be such an absurd scene, where a Foundation Establishment cultivator was overwhelmingly dominating a Golden Core in close combat?

Of course, some clever individuals visited the next morning, eager to seek advice on the matter.

For instance, right now, Meng Yu was having a chat with a middle-aged man.

He was Yun Zhita’s cousin. Yun Zhita had instructed him to stand resolutely outside Meng Yu’s door, following the apprentice’s manners. After his sister sent him the video of her being beaten, he knew how worthy his wait had been.

To encounter such an adversary and to be beaten in peace was truly a great opportunity. While it was just close combat, it involved moves, energy flows, probing, and all sorts of techniques!

The subsequent close combat between Golden Core and Foundation Establishment even took to the skies!

This kind of straightforward and genuine guidance was invaluable!

After chatting, it was a private one-on-one combat. The next day, Meng Yu entertained similarly seven male Golden Core cultivators.

Unlike the female Golden Core cultivators who liked to team up, Meng Yu and the male Golden Cores’ matches were one-on-one, with even Chang Lebai and others keeping their distance.

Everyone fought, devoid of outsiders. After the battle, they parted very politely, even warmly, as if nothing had happened, but the initially haughty and later deferential expressions of those proud Golden Cores said it all.

Only real strength is the true means to win respect and obedience.
