213: Majestic and majestic, the power of the golden elixir

Midnight Gao Sou was indeed in his prime now; both his strength and prestige had reached their Peak.

It was foreseeable that when the upcoming sacrificial ceremony was held, he would once again display his might, and afterwards, he would be able to truly establish the Great Love Sect, making it shine even brighter.

However, if one were to be realistic and analyze it carefully...

Midnight Gao Sou was currently in a very awkward state.

He had indeed formed a Golden Core, but it was a Ninth-Grade Shattered Core, the worst among Golden Cores. Moreover, his Breakthrough was somewhat unclear, so his understanding of the various Divine Abilities of the Golden Core was insufficient, and his application was very unskillful. He needed a long period of seclusion to stabilize his Realm.

And the most crucial point was that Star Fiend Daoist had disappeared.

Without this guide and without subsequent Legacy, Midnight Gao Sou was practically reduced to a Loose Cultivator, lacking various knowledge related to the Golden Core, various Divine Abilities and spell techniques, Magic Treasures and Medicinal Pills, or even the various methods specific to evil Cultivators; he knew nothing.

Standing before the bloody pit at this moment, although he knew that something extraordinary could be nurtured within it, such as high-grade Magic Treasures...

However, Midnight Gao Sou had no idea how to proceed.

And this was just one point; it was conceivable that he would encounter many similar problems in the future.

Stabilizing his Realm and collecting various Golden Core knowledge would probably consume another hundred years of his Lifespan, perhaps even more.

"Forget it, I won't worry about these for now. Anyway, I am a Golden Core now, the strongest among players."

Midnight Gao Sou shook his head, left the bloody pit, and drifted away towards the Great Love Sect's main Peak.

Within the bloody pit, countless bones and flesh were intertwined, and the eerie atmosphere made it the most terrifying area; no one dared to approach.

However, even Midnight Gao Sou, with his Golden Core Realm, did not notice that deep within the bloody pit, there was a faint light, a soul body hidden there... [The first player Golden Core in the Xuanhuan World is born, Season One may be ending!]

A piece of news spread like wildfire across the entire internet.

Initially, it only spread on the Xuanhuan World official website forum, but it quickly broke out of its niche due to various reasons, sweeping across the entire internet.

It should be known that before Midnight Gao Sou, the Golden Cores of the Three Great Sects had indeed appeared, and they had used their methods to capture professional players in one fell swoop, displaying awe-inspiring strength.

However, no Golden Core had used large-scale AOE without mercy, like Midnight Gao Sou, wiping out hundreds of thousands of players in one go.

This display of power shocked everyone, raising their reverence for the Golden Core to its Peak.

And the most terrifying thing was that the one who wielded this power was not a native Cultivator, not an NPC, but a player!

"Did Jiang Feng make a mistake with the numbers? How can a Golden Core be so strong?"

"I truly am speechless. I was right next to the Great Love Sect at the time. I ran the moment I saw Midnight Gao Sou, but I still couldn't escape and was killed along with the others."

"It was too fast. I watched the replay; it only took a few seconds to wipe out hundreds of thousands of people. There was no chance to escape at all."

"Is this what a Golden Core is? So all the previous Golden Cores were holding back?"

Everyone was discussing animatedly.

Although many of the players killed by Midnight Gao Sou were cursing on the forum, most of them had a normal mindset and did not condemn him excessively.

On one hand, they were the attackers themselves, so being counter-killed was reasonable; they had no moral high ground.

On the other hand, the strength displayed by Midnight Gao Sou was simply too formidable.

Many people were already thinking that after respawning, they must join the Great Love Sect and ride the strong wind brought by Midnight Gao Sou's Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm.

Indeed, the Great Love Sect had now become a Golden Core Sect, and its status had risen, breaking out of its niche and spreading wildly across the entire internet.

Consequently, Midnight Gao Sou's commercial value also soared rapidly.

"Hello? Xing Shi Club? You want to sign me? This... I'll consider it."

"Hello? You're also a club? Newly formed? Then that might not work, after all, there's already... What? Thirty million annual salary?"

Midnight Gao Sou received one communication request after another, almost all of them signing invitations from professional clubs, with the prices offered getting higher and higher.

And the brands that had previously sponsored the Great Love Sect also raised their prices, hoping Midnight Gao Sou would sign new contracts.

Midnight Gao Sou was in high spirits; after careful consideration, he rejected all contracts.

He wanted to build up the Great Love Sect, become his own boss, and be the capital.

So, after returning to the Great Love Sect, he immediately paid to contact numerous intelligence dealers, including even highly-paid big UP streamers like This Time Bu Ge, to gather information on all the players involved in the previous Great Love Sect's offensive and defensive battle.

Next, Midnight Gao Sou struck like lightning, swiftly eliminating one by one all the Sects and Families that had participated in the attack, forcing these players to respawn, showing no mercy.

Even more astonishing was that Midnight Gao Sou even found evidence that professional clubs had secretly attacked the Great Love Sect. Subsequently, he used his terrifying Spiritual Sense to cover the surrounding area, located numerous professional players, and targeted and killed them one by one, even directly destroying the professional clubs' strongholds.

Such astonishing actions naturally caused immense shock among the player community.

No one had expected Midnight Gao Sou to be so bold after his Breakthrough, as if he had become a different person.

And what surprised them even more was that the professional clubs responded with silence, not even thinking of targeting Midnight Gao Sou. They even ordered their players to tolerate it and not cause trouble for the Great Love Sect.

After completing his revenge, Midnight Gao Sou's prestige within the Great Love Sect rose another level, and he became incredibly dazzling.

During this time, Old Potato even specifically contacted him, telling him to be forgiving when possible and not to go too far, so as not to make future interactions difficult.

Midnight Gao Sou casually replied:

"I am a Golden Core now, the strongest combat power among all players. Compared to an Immortal Foundation, it's like the difference between an atomic bomb and a fruit knife. Let alone that I'm just getting revenge, even if I wanted to monopolize player resources and kill people at will, who could stop me? Who would dare to stop me?"

"Moreover, achieving Golden Core added another seven hundred years to my Lifespan. According to Star Fiend Daoist, Golden Core also has various methods for extending Lifespan. Even if I can't Breakthrough further, I can still live freely and leisurely in the Golden Core Realm for a very, very long time. What do I have to fear?"

After speaking, Midnight Gao Sou thought for a moment and added:

"Besides, there's a reason I'm so arrogant."

"Now that I have achieved Golden Core, the status of the Great Love Sect should naturally not be the same as before."

"If I don't use thunderous methods to punish them and let everyone know that provoking my Great Love Sect will result in a Golden Core taking action, how will they fear me? How will they elevate my Great Love Sect?"

"The major Golden Core Sects have transcendent status; which one didn't achieve its prestige through the Golden Cores' slaughter?"

Old Potato was silent for a long time before slowly saying:

"Gao Sou, you are a Golden Core now, very powerful. But I want to say, if one day you fail, we people in the Great Desert still have some connections. You can come to us after you respawn."

Midnight Gao Sou paid no mind.

Compared to his poor friends like Old Potato, he was more concerned about the upcoming sacrificial ceremony.

At that time, Heshui Prefecture, Qingling Sect, and Duan Kong Cave would all send people to present congratulatory gifts.

Just thinking about it made Midnight Gao Sou very excited.
