Tao Jun, the four-tribulation spiritual immortal, the national teacher of the Wuyuan Kingdom, and the head of the Yujing Dao who has lived for more than two thousand years, just stared at Gao Xuan blankly, like a poor man seeing a whole box of gold and silver for the first time, or a young boy seeing a naked beauty for the first time.
In fact, Tao Jun was only stunned for a moment, and he quickly came to his senses. But for Lingxian, being in a daze like this was a bit too embarrassing.
There is no other reason, it's just too shocking and too unexpected.
King Jinlin is a four-tribulation monster. He was born in the North Sea Dragon Palace. Although he is a monster, he practices the Shinto method. This is completely different from monsters like King Tiejiao.
Although the Shinto beings are no match for the three great powers of Heaven, Western Buddhist Kingdom, and Taoism, they are also the strongest beings in the Immortal World. The methods they practice can all be called righteous methods.
King Jinlin also has a dragon talisman in his hand, which controls the water veins of the Baicang River for thousands of miles. What a powerful force this is.
Although Tao Jun looked down on this big fathead fish monster, he knew how powerful he was. He thought to himself that he would never be able to defeat him, and it was even possible that he would lose to him.
When King Jinlin attacked just now, he obviously used all his strength. A pair of nine-petal copper hammers are also top-level spiritual weapons. When wielding them, they are extremely domineering and can even activate the Bai Cang River's thousand-mile water veins.
As a result, he was killed by Gao Xuan with one sword.
Tao Jun watched helplessly from the side as Gao Xuan swung his sword so casually, as if the sword was floating like smoke and drifting like autumn water.
It was this graceful and dancing sword that pierced through the vast power of the Baicang River's thousand-mile water veins, pierced through the protective golden scales of the Four Tribulations Great Demon, pierced through the dragon talisman of the North Sea Dragon Palace, and killed the Golden Scale King with one sword, destroying his body and soul.
Tao Jun watched from the side and felt that the sword was exquisite and elegant. Apart from that, he could not see any changes in the sword.
He didn't even understand how this sword killed the Golden Scale King.
The most reasonable explanation is that this sword is extraordinary and may be a real immortal sword.
Immortals are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, human and spirit. Magical instruments also correspond to four levels, namely spirit, immortal, earth and heaven.
Just like the nine-petal copper hammer, it is obviously a pair of powerful spiritual weapons. That dragon talisman can control the three thousand miles of Bai Cang River, so it should be an immortal weapon.
At this moment, the immortal dragon talisman from the North Sea Dragon Palace was in Gao Xuan's hand. The dragon talisman struggled, but could not escape Gao Xuan's hand.
Tao Jun also sincerely felt a little respect for Gao Xuan. He was afraid that he could not withstand the sword that killed King Jinlin. Being able to forcibly suppress the Dragon Palace Immortal Weapon was even more powerful.
Originally, he thought that this Heavenly Master was too young, so he acted stupidly. Now it seems that Gao Xuan is not stupid, but strong.
Killing the big demon is as easy as killing a chicken, but his face remains calm. Such deep scheming is also awe-inspiring.
Gao Xuan was not paying attention to Tao Jun. He was looking at the dragon talisman in his hand with great interest. This thing was indeed very special.
The nine-petal copper hammer is a very good spiritual weapon, but what can truly draw upon the power of the three thousand miles of water veins of the Baicang River is the dragon talisman.
The dragon talisman seemed to be condensed from the three thousand miles of Baicang River. Holding it in his hand, Gao Xuan felt the majestic and vast power of Ren water.
The dragon talisman has the soul mark of King Jinlin on it, and there is an even more powerful soul mark in the core. The second soul mark has a clear dragon clan aura.
Gao Xuan is particularly familiar with the aura of the dragon clan. Not to mention the dragon clan he has seen, just his Tianlong pupil is the spiritual object of the dragon clan.
Although the universe is different and the laws are different, the power of the dragon clan is the same.
Gao Xuan suspected that all dragons in the universe had the same ancestor and the same bloodline genes. It was just that in different universes, the specific power of each dragon would be quite different.
Before Gao Xuan entered the fairyland, he used a golden dragon to upgrade the Tianlong Pupil, forcibly raising the Tianlong Pupil to the level of a divine weapon.
According to the hierarchy of the fairy world, the Dragon Pupil, the Dark God Claw, and the Hongyi Sword are all powerful fairy weapons.
The only problem is that the laws of the fairy world are different, and none of the three fairy weapons can truly exert their power.
Gao Xuan learned the Taiyi Yuanshi Sutra and only then did he begin to grasp the laws of this world. The memory fragments left by King Tiejiao gave him two thousand years of cultivation experience.
Gao Xuan was now able to convert 30% of his own strength. The Hongyi Sword and the Dark God Claw also recovered 30% of their power.
Even with this 30% of strength, it would be easy to kill the Golden Scale King.
The dragon talisman in front of him was probably much inferior to the Hongyi Sword in terms of level, and its sophistication was far inferior.
However, the ability to control the 3,000-mile Baicang River through this dragon talisman is a magical power unique to the immortal world, which Hongyi Sword cannot do.
Only by breaking the two soul imprints on the Dragon Talisman can you control the Dragon Talisman.
If it were any other immortal, they would be unable to crack the dragon clan mark even if they worked themselves to death. But for Gao Xuan, this was not a problem.
The dragon soul mark of the dragon talisman looked very weak. However, Gao Xuan was not in a hurry to refine the dragon talisman.
Breaking the dragon soul mark would inevitably alert the dragon.
Gao Xuan waved his sleeves and collected the two nine-petal bronze lotus hammers floating in the air. He said to the national teacher Tao Jun: "I would like to trouble the national teacher to deal with the aftermath, appease the people on both sides of the strait, and cancel all sacrificial activities."
Tao Jun nodded. This is not difficult. He is a great imperial master with thousands of disciples and can command local officials. He is very suitable for post-war work.
Gao Xuan looked at the tens of thousands of people who were trapped and said, "Release."
The tens of thousands of people who were immobilized all returned to normal. When these people looked at Gao Xuan again, their eyes were filled with awe.
They were frozen, but they could see and hear. Gao Xuan and King Jinlin fought on the platform. Although everyone didn't understand clearly, they saw that King Jinlin was killed.
Of course, they had never seen the Golden Scale King. It was just that the monster that was killed looked very similar to the Golden Scale King they were worshipping.
Although the crowd was not very knowledgeable, most of them thought that King Jinlin was really killed.
To be honest, these people are not happy. On the contrary, they are confused, and many of them are even angry.
Without King Jinlin, who will control the Baicang River? Who can bless the weather and good harvests
The peasants were simple-minded, and whatever benefited them was good. As for sacrificing a few children, most people didn't take it seriously.
Gao Xuan understood what these people were thinking, but he didn't care. Their backgrounds, experiences, and knowledge limited their vision.
Once he got the dragon talisman, he realized that King Jinlin had very limited control over Bai Cangjiang.
The real force that controls Bai Cangjiang is the natural force of heaven and earth, which is the most fundamental law of this world. King Jinlin can only borrow the power of Bai Cangjiang.
To put it simply, King Jinlin's control is equivalent to building a hydroelectric power station on the Baicang River, which can transform the Baicang River into its own power and at the same time adjust the Baicang River to a limited extent.
Of course, the Golden Scale King's control is much stronger than that of the hydroelectric power station. However, the premise is that it must not violate the laws of nature.
For example, it is impossible to make the river flow backwards or kill the Golden Scale King.
Even if the Dragon King came, he couldn't do this.
The only thing King Jinlin could do was not to cause trouble. As for the good weather and good harvest, it had nothing to do with him.
Gao Xuan naturally didn't need to explain to the ignorant people. He nodded to the national teacher Tao Jun, indicating that Tao Jun would handle the follow-up matters.
He flicked his sleeves and entered the surging Baicang River. Using the 72nd Disha Transformation to avoid water, Gao Xuan separated the turbid river water and went down.
The spell of avoiding water is very interesting. It is like an invisible cover covering Gao Xuan, separating him from the river water.
Gao Xuan could move freely in the river and cast spells at will. However, the water in the river was so strong that the power of various spells would be reduced. Even people's movements would become slow.
If King Jinlin were to fight him in the river, he should be able to defeat him.
Gao Xuan tried the water avoidance method. It was very convenient for ordinary practitioners, but it was too restrictive for him.
He tried to activate the Hongyi Sword again, and his speed increased sharply under the sword light.
Although it is still restricted by the river water, it is a hundred times faster than avoiding water.
The Hongyi Sword is essentially the Xuanming Curse, which is particularly compatible with water. However, Gao Xuan's skills are not enough, and he has too little grasp of the laws of this world, so he cannot truly exert the power of the Hongyi Sword.
Gao Xuan tried the Tianlong Pupil again. Tianlong Pupil is the artifact with the most changes and the widest range of applications.
No matter which world you go to, Tianlong Pupil can be used almost everywhere.
In the Qingtian Realm, although the Tianlong Pupil is subject to many restrictions, its performance is stronger than the Mingshen Claw and the Hongyi Sword.
After activating the Heavenly Dragon Pupil, Gao Xuan suddenly felt like a fish in water.
The river water is no longer a hindrance, but provides various assistances. No matter how you move, you can go along with the river water.
This speed may not be as fast as flying a sword, but it is easy and carefree.
Sure enough, it is not the case that the stronger the power, the better. It is about being suitable for the environment. Tianlong pupil is the most useful in this regard.
Even the muddy river water could not stop the dragon's pupil.
After Gao Xuan swam in the river for a while, he saw an underwater cave dozens of miles away.
It is called a cave, but in fact it is just a huge stone cave under the water.
The stone cave is protected by a magic circle. There is no water within a radius of several miles, only green water knives transformed from Ren water.
Millions of water knives swam around the cave like giant fish, forming a dense knife formation.
Gao Xuan didn't understand the magic array restrictions, and he didn't need to understand. He just went in directly.
Gao Xuan, who had forced his way in, triggered the magic circle to counterattack. Four-foot-long green water knives flew and slashed at him.
Gao Xuan did not block it and let thousands of water knives slash at him.
The green water knife fell on him and immediately shattered into pieces of green light.
In the blink of an eye, countless green lights flashed around Gao Xuan, which was quite dazzling.
When Gao Xuan entered the cave, the shining water knives dissipated on their own. Without anyone to guide the formation, the most it could do was this.
Besides, even the Golden Scale King was vulnerable. The magic circle he set up could have divine power.
Gao Xuan's Hunyuan Henglian Golden Body is not fake. Let alone a mere water knife, even if a nine-petal bronze lotus hammer hit him, what would it do
The cave was simply decorated, with most of the furnishings made of stone, and some gold, silver and porcelain.
It was just human supplies, too small for the Golden Scale King, and they were thrown aside.
Deep in the cave there is a pool of water several meters in diameter. It looks like a hot spring pool, except that the water is pure white, with bubbles bubbling in the center.
Gao Xuan saw at a glance that there was a fist-sized crystal stone embedded in the depths of the pool. He flicked his sleeves, and his magic power surged, causing all the water in the pool to evaporate, but the crystal stone remained motionless.
Gao Xuan tried to grab it with his magic power, but the crystal was heavier than a mountain. Even with Gao Xuan's magic power, he couldn't grab it.
This also aroused Gao Xuan's curiosity, and he walked over and reached out to pick up the crystal. Although the crystal was heavy, it could not stop Gao Xuan's strength.
As soon as Gao Xuan got the crystal, he felt that the entire Baicang River seemed to shake suddenly.
"This is Bai Cangjiang's heart..."
Gao Xuan felt that this name might not be right. According to the fairy world, it should be the essence of Bai Cangjiang.
This thing cannot control the Bai Cang River, but it is the essence of Bai Cang River's millions of years of Renshui power. It is a treasure that was born between heaven and earth.
It was placed in the pond, and it should be used by the Golden Scale King to practice martial arts and absorb spiritual energy.
Gao Xuan used the Claw of the Dark God to obtain some memory fragments of the Golden Scale King, but he had not had time to study them. However, the use of this treasure was obvious and did not need to be studied.
Such a Ren water essence is more precious than the dragon talisman.
To put it bluntly, the Dragon Talisman is just a magical weapon, and it has an owner. Its real purpose is not to fight, but to control Bai Cangjiang.
The Renshui Essence is different. This thing is a treasure that embodies the laws of heaven and earth. It is much higher in level than the Dragon Talisman.
Gao Xuan studied the essence of Ren water for a while, and then threw it into the Xuanming Curse Sea of Hongyi Sword without hesitation.
The Hongyi Sword is the easiest to use and is also the most powerful sword.
Absorbing the essence of Ren water can greatly enhance the affinity between the Hongyi Sword and the laws of this world, and can also improve the quality of the Hongyi Sword a little.
If Gao Xuan had known there was such a treasure, he would have come to kill the Golden Scale King first.
Hongyi Sword is like a dragon from another place, unfamiliar with the local waters. Renshui essence is like a local beauty. By getting in touch with the beauty, one can understand the local customs and establish a close connection with the local people.
In this way, the power of Hongyi Sword will inevitably increase greatly.
Gao Xuan was also very satisfied with the essence of Renshui. He looked around the cave and found many children's skeletons in the corner of the cave.
Over the past few hundred years, this guy has eaten at least tens of thousands of boys and girls.
Young boys and girls do carry some pure yang and pure yin energy, so monsters like to eat them.
Gao Xuan saw that there was nothing else in the cave, so he flew out of the cave with a flick of his sleeves. When he reached the top of the cave, Gao Xuan pressed down with his palm.
The cave below silently collapsed into a huge pit, and everything including the magic circle was annihilated.
After cleaning it up, Gao Xuan flew his sword through the river water and into the sky.
After returning to Tianshi Temple, Gao Xuan asked Lianyi to guard the door while he went into the quiet room.
Gao Xuan first opened the Claw of the God of Hell and took out the memory fragments of King Golden Scale and looked through them.
The life experience of the Four Tribulations Great Demon seemed ordinary. Born with golden scales, he was lucky enough to be favored by the North Sea Dragon Clan and raised as a pet in the Dragon Palace.
After a long time, he developed spirituality and was transformed into a human form by Ao Qiong (Qiong), the sixth son of the Dragon King.
Because it was a memory fragment, a lot was omitted. In general, it was because Ao Qiong took a fancy to it that it became a great demon.
When Ao Qiong became an adult and became the Lord of Qiong River, he sent King Jinlin to Baicang River to serve as his assistant.
Qiongjiang River is the upper reaches of Baicangjiang River. According to King Jinlin's memory, Qiongjiang River is ten thousand miles long, connected to the North Sea outside and three major rivers and several large rivers in the northern states inside.
"It doesn't look like he's easy to mess with."
Gao Xuan was not afraid of the North Sea Dragon Palace, but there was no need to make enemies with them.
Killing demons and monsters is his duty and also his personal interest. If the other party is ignorant and wants to make things difficult for him, then he will have no choice but to do it anyway.
Even though the dragon race is strong, the Heavenly Court is not idle. If they really provoke a dragon race that is too high in level, the Heavenly Court will not sit idly by.
Gao Xuan didn't care too much about Ao Qiong. He studied the memory fragments of King Golden Scale. Well, he gained a deeper understanding of water energy.
The big monsters are very different from humans, but the secret method of cultivation is passed down from the dragon clan. This secret method is useless to other cultivators because they cannot practice it.
It was very important to Gao Xuan. The secret cultivation method of the dragon race allowed him to look at the law of vital energy from another perspective. This kind of knowledge was very valuable.
Gao Xuan interpreted all the memory fragments and gained a lot.
Then, Gao Xuan learned and applied what he learned, re-refining the Hongyi Sword. The most important thing was to integrate the precious essence of Ren water.
There is no day or month for practice.
Gao Xuan practiced meditation in his room with peace of mind, regardless of the disturbances and changes in the outside world.
The upper echelons of the Wuyuan Kingdom could not remain calm. Gao Xuan killed two great monsters in a row, which truly proved his extraordinary strength.
Jiang Yunfeng, Zuo Wentao and other strong men didn't think much of Gao Xuan. After all, he was too young and the Heavenly Palace was too far away. But Gao Xuan took the initiative to provoke the big monster.
The method of killing King Tiejiao was completely a trick in everyone's eyes. As for the secret confrontation between Gao Xuan and Monk Jin Guang, no one knew about it.
But when Gao Xuan killed the Golden Scale King with one sword, everyone couldn't sit still.
The key is that the national teacher Tao Jun witnessed this battle with his own eyes, so there is absolutely no way he could be false.
Although Jiang Yunfeng and Zuo Wentao are strong, they are still a little inferior to King Jinlin.
This battle also completely changed the attitudes of Jiang Yunfeng, Zuo Wentao and others.
Both of them were a little uneasy. Gao Xuan was so powerful and so strong, and their two major sects had their roots in Wuyuan Country. How should they get along with Gao Xuan in the future
The two of them didn't want to have anything to do with Gao Xuan because they were afraid of being implicated by Gao Xuan.
This was also the strategy agreed upon by National Master Tao Jun and the two of them.
Now, Gao Xuan has demonstrated his extremely powerful strength, and they can no longer ignore him.
If Gao Xuan was really dissatisfied, they might not be able to stay in Wuyuan Country.
However, Gao Xuan killed the Golden Scale King and brought disaster to the North Sea Dragon Palace. I am afraid that his future days will not be easy.
If they get too close to Gao Xuan and Gao Xuan becomes enemies with the dragon clan, what should they do
The two of them couldn't think of a good solution, so they could only consult the national teacher Tao Jun.
The three most powerful men of Wuyuan Country were all scratching their heads. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
It's not good to be too far away, and it seems that it's not good to be too close either. It's so difficult to grasp the right balance.
"National Master, I heard that King Jinlin followed Ao Qiong, the Lord of Qiong River. Is this true or false?"
Jiang Yunfeng asked.
Tao Jun stroked his beard and smiled bitterly: "That's what the rumors say. I have no friendship with the dragon clan, and I don't know the situation."
He looked at Zuo Wentao: "Brother Zuo has a close relationship with the Dragon Clan, do you know the details?"
Zuo Wentao is a cloud and rain magician. It is said that he met a dragon girl in his early years, and was appreciated by the dragon girl and given a drop of dragon blood. This is how he achieved extremely high attainments in cloud and rain magic.
Zuo Wentao thought for a moment and said, "I can ask an old friend. If it is really Ao Qiong, things will be troublesome. I heard that Ao Qiong has an arrogant personality and is very concerned about his reputation. It will be difficult to end the situation peacefully if his men are killed."
"What a hassle..."
Tao Jun sighed deeply, "This Heavenly Master is too violent and tough in his actions."
He thought for a moment and said, "But this person's cultivation is very powerful, far beyond ours. So we can't offend him."
Tao Jun suggested, "He is new here and has nothing. You can prepare some gifts to send to him to express your appreciation. But you don't have to get too close to him."
"Is this okay?" Jiang Yunfeng asked.
Tao Jun pondered for a moment and said, "I think Gao Xuan is a handsome man with extraordinary character. Although he acts tough, he is not unreasonable. He will not deliberately make things difficult for us."
Zuo Wentao said worriedly, "If he wants to cause trouble for that person in the palace, what should we do?"
There are three great demons in Wuyuan country, one of them, Hu Ji, is staying in the palace.
Tao Jun and the others knew this, but they could do nothing about it. The life of the Emperor of Wuyuan was in their hands, so how could they dare to act recklessly
Besides, this Hu Ji was just a person who ate and dressed extravagantly and loved to enjoy life. She had many male lovers.
Apart from that, there is nothing evil.
Tao Jun and his men pretended to be ignorant and the two sides kept their distance.
Now that the two great demons are dead, there is only one Hu Ji left. If Gao takes action, it is very likely that the emperor will be injured.
Tao Jun sighed: "We can't control this matter. What else can we do..."
There was a huge gap between their cultivation and Gao Xuan's, so how could they care about Gao Xuan's affairs? As for whether the emperor would die together, that was a small matter.
Emperors are all mortals. According to the rules set by all sects in the Qingtian Realm, emperors cannot practice Taoism. Therefore, emperors usually live no longer than a hundred years.
Several four-tribulation spirit immortals have sent away many emperors. It doesn't matter if the current emperor dies, just support another one to take the throne.
After the three of them had discussed it, Jiang Yunfeng and Zuo Wentao took immediate action and sent their disciples to deliver a large number of exquisite gifts to Tianshi Temple.
Gao Xuan was in seclusion, and Lianyi received these people. She didn't care about these worldly gifts, and accepted them all without asking Gao Xuan.
A few days later, another group of people came to Tianshi Temple.
This team consisted of more than ten carriages, carrying all kinds of gold, silver, porcelain, silk, furniture and other items.
The convoy stopped at the gate of Tianshi Temple, and the gatekeeper Qingfeng hurried to report to Lianyi.
When Lianyi arrived at the main hall, she saw that there were two more guests there.
The leading woman was extremely beautiful, especially her charming eyes, which were very lively and alluring. She wore a phoenix crown and a gorgeous purple-red palace dress.
Standing in the center of the hall, she is graceful and elegant, and has a very attractive charm.
The ripples of the aura were extremely pure, and one could tell at a glance that the woman's aura was deep and complex. She was not a human, but must be a powerful monster.
She also became more alert: "Who are you looking for?"
Lianyi is a sword spirit transformation. Although she is very intelligent, she has little experience. She also doesn't like people's complicated etiquette. What's more, the other party is a monster. Therefore, she speaks directly.
The woman smiled gently and nodded to Lianyi: "Please inform him that I, Hu Ji, have come to see the Heavenly Master..."
Lianyi's eyes turned cold. Hu Ji, isn't this the great monster from Wuyuan Country
