When the Golden King killed the Black Robed King, the blockade on the Golden Secret Realm was lifted, and now, with the Golden Key, one could freely enter and exit.

The Golden King looked grim; the magic-contaminated gold had been taken out of the secret realm, but the magical contamination within it remained.

If the magical contamination within the secret realm couldn't be reduced, it would accumulate more and more, eventually affecting the Purple Gold Vein.

The Golden King suddenly realized that the attack by the Demon God Sect was not aimed at the contestants but at the Purple Gold Vein within the Golden Secret Realm, intending to contaminate it.

The Purple Gold Vein, highly scarce, was formed from the fall of the Purple Gold Dragon, famed among the Dragon Race as a 'money printer.' It had the ability to absorb gold and produce dragon-patterned purple gold.

Dragon-patterned purple gold, when minted into coin shapes, became Purple Gold Dragon Coins worth twelve billion Alliance Coins.

Like the Purple Gold Dragon, the Purple Gold Vein was a money printer.

The Golden King tried various methods but couldn't reduce the magical contamination within the Golden Secret Realm.

The Golden King's secretary provided two feasible methods.

"Move the Purification Pool into the Golden Secret Realm, and the problem of magical contamination will be resolved."

The Golden King rejected it without a second thought.

"No, the Purification Pool is for those kings contaminated by the Four Deities, and there are no spare purification pools. Move one into the Golden Secret Realm, and they will follow. You know how unstable those kings contaminated by the Four Deities are. If they go mad, how could the Golden Secret Realm withstand their destruction?"

The secretary said, "Then there's only the last method left, relocating the Purple Gold Vein."

The Golden King pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"The technique for relocating the Purple Gold Vein is immature. Forcibly moving it would harm its core and greatly reduce its productivity. It should only be used as a last resort. Is there any other way?"

The secretary said, "There's one more not-really-a-method method, issue a bounty and gather the alliance's extraordinary talents to see if they have a solution."

"That's the only option left."

The Golden King sighed.

The secretary rubbed his thumb and two fingers together, making a gesture indicating money.

"Respected Golden King! Solving this is exceptionally difficult; to mobilize their strategies and solutions, a super-rich bounty is required."

The Golden King said, "Use that dragon egg as the reward. It will also keep those old fellows from coveting it."

The secretary was shocked, not expecting the Golden King to offer that dragon egg as a reward.

That dragon egg was laid by the Golden King's ace pet, the Golden Dragon, having the potential of a high-tier king from birth.

A high-tier king's potential can likely make it a king with normal cultivation, and with meticulous care, it could even ascend to the Venerable King, not to mention being part of the powerful Dragon Race. It's not just any dragon; it's a Golden Dragon, ranking high among many in the Dragon Race.

If the Golden Dragon advances to the Venerable King, it will have few equals in the Venerable King Realm.

Why is the Golden King so strong? Why is he famous among many kings?

Because he has a Golden Dragon.

That's why several kings who are on good terms with the Golden King have been eyeing that dragon egg, but the Golden King never let go.

The Golden King also said, "It's been three days since the Demon God Sect's attack incident, resume the Golden Tournament!"

Due to the attack incident, the Golden Tournament was postponed and has already been delayed for three days.

The afternoon the bounty was issued.

The secretary came to the Golden King's office.

The secretary said, "Someone has accepted the bounty to solve the magical contamination in the Golden Secret Realm."

"Mmhmm."

"Mmhmm?"

The Golden King's tone became heavier.

"Which old friend of mine accepted the bounty?"

The secretary said, "It's not your old friend, it's a contestant from this year's Golden Tournament."

The Golden King said, "Who is this person?"

The secretary said, "Li Cunxu."

"Sounds familiar."

"Recently, he became famous for a six-zero win in the Golden Tournament with a very young age."

"It's him!" said the Golden King, "Not that I doubt, but does he have the ability to solve magical contamination?"

Even he, a renowned Golden King, couldn't solve it, could a little golden-tier have a solution?

The secretary said, "I suspected too, but he mentioned a fragment of an Empire artifact."

The Golden King immediately dismissed his doubts. He didn't trust Li Cunxu but trusted the Empire artifact.

The Empire artifact threatens even the Four Deities. Even the Four Deities must pay a huge price to use it.

"Where is he now?"

"Currently competing."

"Let's take a look then."

The Golden King turned on the high-definition 3D projector to watch Li Cunxu's battle with his opponent.

The Golden King and his secretary watched for a while; the Golden King commented, "This young man is quite impressive, but a bit too nauseating."

The Golden King's assessment was quite fair, and Li Cunxu's opponent wholeheartedly agreed; he was almost sick to his stomach due to Li Cunxu.

In the top thirty-two matches, Li Cunxu deployed the Curse Crow.

In his past life, Li Cunxu excelled in curses, followed by poison types, and he had deep insight into curses.

Therefore, under Li Cunxu's meticulous pairing, Curse Crow's tactics became unresolved and nauseating.

When Curse Crow shot its curse feathers, if the opponent failed to dodge the first, they would face countless negative curses stacking on them.

In just a few seconds, Golden Nine's pet was cursed and reduced to Silver One.

Curse Crow then crushed with absolute strength, claiming victory.

Yet, speaking of unresolved and nauseating, that must be the team's absolute powerhouse, Xiaoruan. With relentless skill bombardments all day, spiritual energy consumption was less than ten percent.

Without any surprise, Li Cunxu won the match.

The medical team brought stretchers to carry away the final fallen pet, the Sunlight Tiger Man.

In the medical room, the doctor dispelled all the curses from Sunlight Tiger Man, who then got up from bed and rushed to the toilet to throw up.

He was truly sickened by the curse strategy of the Curse Crow.

After the match, Li Cunxu's opponent posted a video on his Pet Sounds platform, advising Li Cunxu's next top-sixteen opponent to bring curse-resistant items, saying it was too damn nauseating.

The video received a high number of likes once posted.

Many watching the live stream shared the sentiment.

A single Silver-level Curse Crow tortured six Golden Nine pets with curses, beating them with ease.

Just watching was torturous.

"Agreed, curses are quite torturous; you must bring curse-resistant items. I recommend the fourth-tier technical item, Curse Substitution Doll. The doll completely replaces golden-tier curses. Message me if needed."

"Li Cunxu's next match's opponent, don't be fooled—bringing a Curse Substitution Doll is useless. Look at Xue Baiwu, who brought dragon-slaying weapons against the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon—did he use it? No, he didn't because Li Cunxu didn't send in the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon but the Flame White Horse. And look at this match's opponent—did he use the dragon-slaying weapon and speed restraining items against the Flame White Horse? No, because Li Cunxu sent in Curse Crow."
