King of Assassins

Chapter 671: Meeting gift

Views:

Above the nine heavens, the azure light was as deep as the sea, and in the distance a towering temple stood among the clouds. Above the temple, there were thousands of auspicious clouds and rays of light, and the scene was magnificent.

Guided by nine rainbow lights, Gao Xuan passed through numerous space barriers and arrived at this place.

The Nine-Colored Rainbow Light can be seen as a high-speed elevator, with its own space inside that can isolate the inside and the outside.

The fairyland and the world of cultivators seemed to be connected, but in fact, they were separated by thousands of complex spaces. Without the guidance of the nine-color rainbow light, Gao Xuan would have had almost no chance of entering the fairyland by wandering around in space.

The nine rainbow lights dissipated, and Gao Xuan immediately saw the magnificent palace.

Under this palace with a strong traditional ancient style, lies an extremely huge turtle.

This turtle is quite big compared to the old turtle A, and the whole fairy palace is built on the back of this turtle.

On both sides of the palace, two golden dragons coiled to form a wall. Above the palace, dozens of colorful phoenixes circled and danced, their wings fluttering and dropping dots of spiritual light.

Gao Xuan only took a glance and then looked away. The spiritual energy of any flying phoenix was more powerful than his.

The two golden dragons surrounding the temple are much stronger than him.

Even the Tianlong pupil was suppressed by its level, causing violent fluctuations, and the light and shadow were severely distorted.

Judging from their levels, the two golden dragons and the old turtle supporting the shrine are at least at the level of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The shrine seemed to be right in front of us, but in fact it was far away beyond the clouds, so far away that it was immeasurable.

Gao Xuan understood that what he saw was just a shadow of the Immortal Palace.

"Cultivator from anywhere, don't look at it, the Immortal Palace is for you to see! What's its name?"

Gao Xuan looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that there was an old man in front of him.

The old man had a face full of wrinkles, but his skin was light golden with a faint golden glow. He had a goatee and triangular eyes, and looked rather gloomy.

The old man was wearing a crimson robe with a hexagonal star embroidered on his chest, and there were also complex cloud patterns on it. It should be a kind of writing.

Gao Xuan didn't recognize him, but he sensed a strong star power from the old man through his spiritual perception.

The stars in the fairy world are naturally very different from the planets in the alliance. Gao Xuan can sense that the billions of stars above the nine heavens are releasing powerful and unique powers. This old man should correspond to a certain star, and he has the power of the corresponding star.

When Gao Xuan first arrived in the fairyland, his power was suppressed to the lowest level by the laws of this world, and his mind was attracted by the extremely powerful projection of the fairy palace. He was unable to discover the old man at the first time.

But he had a strong foundation, and his way of being one with the universe also allowed him to retain his own strength to the maximum extent. In an instant, he could see the source of the old man's power.

Gao Xuan bowed to the old man and said, "Gao Xuan from the Five Elements Sect."

Anyway, the Five Elements Sect has been destroyed for thousands of years, and there shouldn't be many people in the Immortal Realm. Even if there are people in the Immortal Realm, they have long lost contact with the lower world.

There would be no problem pretending to be someone from the Five Elements Sect. Well, Gao Xuan felt that he was not pretending.

His clone is a genuine descendant of the Five Elements Sect.

The old man said indifferently: "Who cares what sect you come from? This is the Immortal Realm. All the ascenders are managed by the Immortal Palace. All your status and glory in the lower world are meaningless here. Do you understand?"

Gao Xuan was silent. The world of cultivators also had some records about the Immortal Realm. However, most of them worshipped and admired the Immortal Realm, saying that it was some kind of immortal paradise where one could enjoy bliss and longevity after ascending to heaven.

Judging from the old man's words and attitude, one can tell that the fairy world is also full of rules and strict hierarchy.

The old man did not need Gao Xuan to answer, he just said: "I am the Golden Goat Star Lord, I have been in charge of the South Heaven Gate for the past five hundred years. It has been almost five hundred years, and you are the first cultivator to ascend. I think you are good-looking, so I will give you a good job."

The Golden Sheep Star Lord had been on duty here for hundreds of years, but only a few living people had been seen. Gao Xuan was the only person who had ascended from the lower world.

Scarcity makes things valuable.

Of course, he had to look at Gao Xuan differently, since he was just an ascender. Moreover, Gao Xuan was too handsome, with an extraordinary temperament.

The Golden Sheep Star Lord had also been to the Daluo Immortal Palace, met the Immortal Emperor, and met the immortals above the Nine Heavens.

Speaking of grace and demeanor, the ascender before him is elegant and clear, as bright as the full moon and as clear as autumn water. I'm afraid there are few in the fairy world who can compare with him.

The Golden Sheep Star Lord also liked this kind of person the moment he saw him. Even if he was an immortal, he would still like to judge by his appearance.

"An errand?"

Gao Xuan didn't understand so he asked, he bowed and saluted: "Xingjun, what's the explanation for this?"

The Golden Sheep Star Lord stroked his goatee and smiled, "The Immortal Realm is vast, with billions of living beings. The Immortal Emperor is benevolent and has made a great vow to protect all living beings. We naturally have to share the Immortal Emperor's worries..."

Gao Xuan summarized what the Golden Goat Star Lord said, which was that the Immortal Emperor would assign his subordinates to manage all living beings in the Nine Heavens.

Above the Nine Heavens is naturally the Daluo Palace, which governs the Nine Heavens.

Under the Daluo Immortal Palace, there are nine heavens according to the level of spiritual energy. Ascendants like Gao Xuan will be accepted by the Immortal Palace.

Assign various tasks as needed.

To put it simply, a cultivator's ascension is equivalent to a local official being transferred to the capital.

The connections, status, and power that local officials had accumulated in the past are now almost useless. The only thing that is useful is their own ability.

As for what job you will be assigned, it obviously depends on luck. If there is no one in the Fairy Palace.

The laws of the fairy world are very powerful, and Gao Xuan feels that his own strength has been reduced to the golden elixir level.

Because of the difference in the laws, the impact on the subtle level of strength was even greater. The only thing to be thankful for was that he was a mixed Yuan body, and although the Yuan Qi level was greatly affected, the horizontal training golden body maintained 70% to 80% of its combat power.

Gao Xuan nodded and said, "In that case, I am willing to share the Immortal Emperor's worries."

The Golden Sheep Star Lord smiled and said that it was not the ascender’s turn to say no to such a matter.

The Immortal Realm is vast, but it has its own rules. A cultivator who ascends from the lower realm, no matter how powerful he is in the lower realm, must start from scratch in the Immortal Realm.

Besides, how can the filthy lower world be compared with the fairy world

The Golden Sheep Star Lord took out a book from his sleeve, flipped through it casually and said, "In recent years, demons have been rampant in Wuyuan Country, evil gods have been causing trouble everywhere, and the people are living in misery. They are in need of a heavenly master to guard the country. If you go here, you can also quickly accumulate merits..."

The God of the Golden Sheep took out a small golden seal from his sleeve. The seal was about an inch round and no thicker than a finger.

He stretched out his hand and pointed, a deep blue divine light shone on his fingertips, and two more words appeared on the golden seal: Gao Xuan.

"Take this, this is your golden seal, which can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth and suppress the unpredictable fortune and disaster. Everything you do will be recorded on the golden seal. Once you have accumulated enough merits, the Heavenly Court will surely promote you and make you important. Remember, you cannot leave your post without permission..."

The Golden Sheep Star Lord warned Gao Xuan: "The Heavenly Court assesses the immortal officials at all levels every 500 years. If they are rated as low, they will be dismissed from their posts, their golden seals will be taken back, and they may even be convicted. You must remember to work diligently and attentively."

The Golden Sheep Star Lord said sternly: "The Heavenly Court has its own laws, and they are not a joke. I hope you will take care of yourself."

As he spoke, the Golden Sheep Star Lord unfolded a map. He squinted his eyes and searched on the map for a while before reaching out and pointing.

The location that was pointed at on the map suddenly lit up, and Gao Xuan felt lighter, and turned into a cloud of smoke and plunged into the bright spot on the map.

By the time Gao Xuan regained his senses, he had already arrived at a Taoist temple.

The main hall of this Taoist temple is quite old, and the statue of the Immortal Emperor behind the altar has been covered with dust. There are no offerings on the altar, and the incense burner is full of cold ashes.

There were many spider webs hanging from the wooden beams of the hall, the walls were bare, and the blue bricks on the ground were mostly broken. The whole hall gave people a very dilapidated and desolate feeling.

Gao Xuan guessed that this should be the so-called Wuyuan Kingdom. This Taoist temple should be where the Heavenly Master resides.

The magic of the Golden Sheep Star God that sent him directly to the place was very interesting. The power was not strong, but the changes were wonderful.

Gao Xuan could resist, but why would he have to fight against the Golden Sheep Star Lord? Even if he didn't want to do it anymore, there was no need to confront him head on.

According to the Golden Sheep Star Lord, the Heavenly Court only conducts assessments once every 500 years. If he really wanted to throw down the golden seal and leave, no one here would care about him.

Gao Xuan was certain that this place was very, very far away from the Nantianmen. So far away that he could only barely sense the aura of the Nantianmen.

What is certain is that Nantianmen belongs to another world. The levels of vitality in the two worlds are very different.

The situation in the fairy world is a little different from what Gao Xuan expected. It is not easy to find Helen and the others in such a vast world.

When he arrived in the Immortal Realm, his soul chains were suppressed even more strongly. This was because he had also entered the Immortal Realm and was bound by the laws of the Immortal Realm.

The powerful laws of the fairy world are of a higher level than any world Gao Xuan has ever visited.

If you want to regain your strength, the first thing you need to do is to master the laws of the fairy world.

Gao Xuan estimated that this would take a very long time.

Fortunately, he was not in a hurry. Although the fairy world looked very old-fashioned, its power level was high enough.

Entering the fairyland also allowed Gao Xuan to see a way to move upwards, a road with no end in sight.

This made Gao Xuan very happy.

Compared to finding people or forming alliances, he is more excited about the infinite exploration and evolution of his own life.

After several struggles, Gao Xuan finally understood that he was just an individual after all. He was compulsive about saving humanity, and he had accomplished his goal in the last millennium.

A thousand years later, the temple was renovated to break the monopoly of the aristocratic families and give mankind a chance to develop more freely.

As for where humanity will go in the future, that is something that humanity itself will have to take responsibility for.

Gao Xuan felt that the only person he owed was Yun Qingshang. He would wait until he had gained a firm foothold in the fairy world and had enough strength, then he would take Yun Qingshang over, and the two of them would move forward together towards the peak of life evolution.

Gao Xuan thought everything through and his mind was calm.

To live long and see clearly is to experience all the wonderful things in life.

If you live for billions of years like a stone, what is the meaning of this long life

Gao Xuan is very interested in everything in the fairy world, and has the calm attitude to appreciate and experience it.

Of course, he is so confident because he is strong enough.

Not to mention this world, even if it is the Golden Sheep Star Lord, you won’t get any advantage if you really fight him.

The innate unity of all things is no joke.

Now that we are in Wuyuan Country, let’s take a look at the situation here before making any decision.

Gao Xuan took the golden seal from heaven and put his spiritual consciousness into it. Soon he left the mark of his soul deep in the golden seal.

Of course, he also had to be careful with the magic weapon of heaven. The core rune of this magic weapon was very complex, but the level was not high.

After Gao Xuan refined it, he immediately mastered how to use the golden seal.

The golden seal represents the status of being conferred by the Heavenly Court. With the golden seal, one can mobilize the power of the mountains and rivers, and mobilize all the gods under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. Of course, he can only mobilize those of lower ranks than him.

According to the nine-rank system of heavenly officials, all the heavenly masters sent out were given the seventh rank, which was not a low rank.

After all, the fairy world is vast, and there are countless countries like the Wuyuan Kingdom.

Although Heaven is the master of the fairy world, there are still many demons and monsters in the fairy world who do not obey Heaven's management.

There are also powerful gods and men such as Shura and Dragon who rebel against Heaven.

Only after Gao Xuan mastered the golden seal did he realize that the job of Heavenly Master was not easy.

The fairy world is so vast, and there are countless powerful people. It is normal for the Heavenly Master to be killed directly when encountering a powerful demon if he is unlucky.

Judging from the information on the golden seal, Heaven’s control over the lower heavens is also very weak.

Gao Xuan figured out how to use the golden seal and shouted, "Why don't you show yourself, boy?"

With the golden seal in hand, Gao Xuan is the master of this place.

Before he finished speaking, the clay sculptures of boys standing on both sides of the altar flashed with light and came to life.

The two boys were four feet tall, one boy and one girl, with pigtails, rosy cheeks, dark eyes, and fair and tender skin. They were wearing green short shirts and looked quite likable.

The two boys came back to life and walked over to Gao Xuan obediently, saying, "Qingfeng and Mingyue greet the master."

"You cleaned the room inside and out..."

The two boys looked cute and very spiritual, but they were not real people and could not be considered child laborers. Gao Xuan used them without mercy.

The two boys worked swiftly, and Gao Xuan used the golden seal to send out a flying letter.

The golden seal is a very special magical instrument, through which one can send letters and manage the mountains and rivers of the territory.

Gao Xuan knew nothing about the Wuyuan Kingdom. Although the two clay boys were intelligent, they had little knowledge.

If you really want to know the local situation, of course you have to find the local land god.

As long as the local land god is still alive, he will have the courage not to come because of the letter sent through the golden seal.

Although the Heavenly Court allows the management of the lower world to be done on its own, there are basic laws and regulations.

Gao Xuan waited for a while, and then a cloud of white smoke emerged from the blue brick ground, and a three-foot-tall white-haired old man appeared in front of Gao Xuan.

The white-haired old man had a face full of wrinkles, and it was hard to tell what he looked like. He trembled and bowed to Gao Xuan: "Local landowner Wu Liu greets Master Tianshi."

Gao Xuan said, "No need to be polite. I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the situation. Please introduce it to me."

The Earth God Wu Liu was in a dilemma. He hesitated and said, "Master Tianshi, Wuyuan Country has been in chaos for hundreds of years. The three great demons have almost taken control of this place. They are very powerful. I am afraid we cannot afford to offend them..."

After saying this, Wu Liu also felt that something was wrong. He knelt down and kowtowed: "My magic power is too low to eliminate harm for the people. I am ashamed and terrified."

"Three great demons?"

Gao Xuan became interested: "Tell me in detail."

"Demons are rampant in Wuyuan Country. The three most powerful ones are King Tiejiao. The first is King Tiejiao, who occupies the Yunxi Mountains and is said to have 100,000 little demons under his command. He is the most domineering and arrogant.

He often allowed his demon soldiers to plunder, burn and kill. The towns around the Yunxi Mountains are now empty. It was all caused by King Tiejiao.

The second one is the Golden Scale King, whose body looks like a golden carp that lived for ten thousand years. He occupies the Baicang River. The Golden Scale King likes boys and girls, and he must sacrifice one hundred pairs of boys and girls on his birthday every year.

If they disobey, a flood storm will be triggered to destroy the fleet.

The third one is the white fox demon Hu Ji. Hu Ji can transform into many different forms. It is said that the current queen of Wu Yuan Kingdom is a transformation of Hu Ji…”

The Earth God Wu Liu did not dare to hide anything and explained everything he knew.

Gao Xuan asked curiously, "A few demons are rampant, and no one is doing anything about it?"

"There are always people in charge, but the demons are so powerful that those who want to exorcise them never come back."

Wu Liu said cautiously: "I heard that these demons are very well-established. Even if you have the power to subdue demons, you may not dare to provoke them."

Gao Xuan nodded. If the gods in heaven can stick together, it is normal for demons and monsters to stick together as well.

He had just arrived and didn't know anything, and he couldn't just listen to the God of Land's one-sided story.

On the other hand, he has not yet mastered the changes in the vital energy of this world.

The golden seal came with seventy-two earthly evil spells, and he also needed to study them. No matter what he wanted to do, there was no need to rush.

Although this land god is weak and timid, he is a rare spy. He still needs to be used.

Gao Xuan also comforted and praised him with a few words, which made the three-foot-tall old man's face smile like a flower.

Wu Liu was worried that the Heavenly Master had a bad temper and felt uneasy. He did not expect that this Heavenly Master was so sensible and reasonable despite his young age. He did not force him to fight against the demons.

Gao Xuan said, "Just focus on your work and report any important news immediately. I will naturally remember your contribution."

Wu Liu was even happier. As long as he tipped off the information, he would get credit. That was not easy.

Having been the God of Land for so many years, Wu Liu also understands the ways of the world.

Since Master Tianshi is easy to talk to, he also wants to express his gratitude.

Wu Liu knelt on the ground, holding a blood-red ginseng in his hands, and said, "Master Tianshi, this is a thousand-year-old blood ginseng, which has already developed some spirituality. It is just right to offer it to you to replenish your body..."

Gao Xuan smiled, and he put the blood ginseng away with a flick of his sleeves: "It's rare that you are so kind, I won't be polite."

Seeing Gao Xuan accept the gift, Wu Liu was also very happy, and felt that the relationship between the two sides had become closer.

"I will go and get the news right away. If the master has any orders, just send me a letter and I will definitely do it properly..."

Wu Liu gave a gift and spoke with more confidence.

Just as Gao Xuan was about to speak, Qingfeng came in quickly from outside the door. He bowed hastily and said, "Master, there is a demon in front of the door, and he wants to see you."

"Let him in."

Gao Xuan was a little surprised. He hadn't done anything yet, but the demon had come to him first. This demon was really rampant.

"I am coming."

A big man covered in black hair strode into the hall. He was about ten feet tall, with a pair of shiny black horns on his head, a ferocious face, dark red eyes, and a thick black iron spear on his shoulder. There was a bloody thing on the iron spear.

The man had an extremely ugly appearance but was tall and strong. When he stood at the door, the whole hall became a little darker.

Seeing the big man's appearance, Wu Liu secretly swallowed his saliva. He whispered to Gao Xuan, "Hei Jiao, the first general under the Iron Armor King."

The big man stared at Gao Xuan with his huge bull eyes and said, "My king knows that the new Heavenly Master has taken office, so he asked me to give you a gift."

As he spoke, the big man swung the iron spear on his shoulder forward, and the thing strung on the spear fell into the hall.

This was a bloody piece of meat that looked like a human, but it was covered in blood and looked extremely scary.

Hei Jiao laughed loudly: "This is a skinned girl, the most tender and delicious. If you like to eat it, I will send you a few more in the future..."

Without waiting for Gao Xuan to speak, Heijiao turned his body and turned into a ball of black wind and rushed into the sky.

Wu Liu and the two boys Qing Feng and Ming Yue looked at the skinless corpse on the ground with horror on their faces. Especially Wu Liu, his lips were shaking with fear, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Gao Xuan looked calm. He glanced at Wu Liu and said, "The demons here are really arrogant..."
