"I am Bai Yunsheng from the Yuxiao Sect, and I am here to meet Master Gao."
Although Bai Yunsheng was the leader of a sect, he was able to bow his head and act like a junior in front of Gao Xuan.
Jiang Yumei admired Bai Yunsheng's thick skin, he was almost 8,000 years old. Looking at Gao Xuan again, he was as handsome as jade and as bright as the moon, with the vitality of a teenager and the calmness and elegance of a middle-aged man.
In terms of age, this Heavenly Master really looks like a cultivator in his thirties.
This taste is similar to Jiang Yuelan's, but Gao Xuan's is purer and more refreshing.
Jiang Yumei also had to admit that Gao Xuan was more attractive than Jiang Yuelan.
After Bai Yunsheng finished speaking, Jiang Yumei also stepped forward to greet Gao Xuan. She was not as shameless as Bai Yunsheng, so she just bowed her head and said, "I, Jiang Yumei, greet the Heavenly Master."
"You are welcome, my two Taoist friends. Please take a seat."
Gao Xuan has been on Tianlong Island for almost three years, and this is the first time he has seen a strong man from the Eastern State Sect.
Chen Jiufeng, Sikong Ling and the others were all Daoists, so they had to deal with the Daoists from the Eastern Province. However, the Daoists from the Eastern Province were all arrogant and proud, so they probably didn't take them seriously.
Even if he is an idiot, he probably means nothing in the eyes of the strong men from the Eastern Province.
The two sides had never had any high-level contact. This time, the two leaders of the other side came to the door, and they were so humble, and no one knew what they were planning.
Gao Xuan actually didn't care much about this kind of thing. No matter what the other party planned, it didn't matter.
If the strength is too weak, all conspiracies and calculations will become meaningless.
Just like the Buddhist sect and the Dragon Court, they were fanning the flames behind the scenes, trying to encourage the other side to take action. If they really had the strength to kill him, why would they resort to such tricks to only make people laugh
Of course, all of this actually makes sense. The Dao Sect saw how powerful he was through this, so they came to visit him.
Don't be fooled by the other party's enthusiastic appearance. In essence, they are just door-to-door salesmen. No matter how humble they are or how nice they are to you, in the final analysis, they just want to gain benefits from you.
Gao Xuan does not reject salesmen, but he does not consider them as friends. Both parties are just doing business.
If you grasp this line, things will be easier.
Of course, Gao Xuan thought so in his heart, but he did not lose his manners on the surface. He was quite polite to these two people.
Bai Yunsheng and Jiang Yumei both had a very good impression of Gao Xuan. This Heavenly Master had extraordinary magical powers and was always tough with his external methods. But he was very humble and friendly to them, which made them feel like they were in spring breeze.
Bai Yunsheng exchanged a few polite words with Gao Xuan, and was even more convinced that he could win Gao Xuan over. He glanced at Jiang Yumei and asked her what she meant.
Although the three of them had agreed to give Gao Xuan a generous gift, they also had to first see whether Gao Xuan was worth it.
If Gao Xuan was arrogant, then even if they gave him generous gifts, he might not appreciate it.
Now it seems that the Map of the Divine Thunder Emperor must be given away.
Jiang Yumei also responded to Bai Yunsheng with her eyes, indicating that she agreed to give the gift.
Bai Yunsheng then said to Gao Xuan: "The Heavenly Master displayed his magical powers in the Northern Province, defeated the dragon clan, and wiped out the demons. We all admire him deeply. The Heavenly Court and the Taoist sect are originally one. Qingtian Realm has produced such a powerful person as the Heavenly Master. We are all proud of him..."
Bai Yunsheng said a lot of compliments, and Gao Xuan could only be humble and polite.
Although such polite words were cliché, they were able to lighten the mood. Gao Xuan also praised the Eastern Province Dao Sect from time to time.
For a moment, both the guests and the hosts were enjoying themselves.
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Bai Yunsheng took out the Godly Thunder Emperor Picture from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Xuan: "Master, this is a small gift from our three sects to you, please accept it."
The other party was so polite that Gao Xuan didn't want to put on airs. He stood up and took the scroll of the Thunder Emperor Diagram. "My fellow Taoists, you are too polite. There is no need to be so polite."
As he spoke, Gao Xuan untied the thin string on the scroll and opened it.
The scroll of the Divine Thunder Emperor Diagram is not big, and is only two and a half feet long when opened.
There was a portrait of a man standing upright on the scroll. The man had a dark blue complexion, regular and majestic features, and layers of lightning flashing in his dark blue eyes.
Surrounding this statue are cranes, birds, monkeys and other animals, but all of these animals are shining with lightning.
The portrait is surrounded by thick white clouds, within which are hidden endless electric lights.
When Gao Xuan saw the figure, a strong electric light suddenly rose in his sea of consciousness, and then he sensed the endless power of thunder.
Without Bai Yunsheng's explanation, Gao Xuan knew that this picture recorded a very advanced thunder technique. This picture itself was the foundation of cultivation.
To be honest, this thunder technique is of a very high level and is much more advanced than the Taiyi Tiandu Silent Thunder Sword he created himself.
In terms of subtlety, the Taiyi Tiandu Silent Thunder Sword is extremely delicate and powerful, but it is not as good as this thunder method in terms of level.
If one could master this thunder technique, he would be able to dominate the Qingtian Realm. It would not be surprising if he could even become an earthly immortal with this technique.
Gao Xuan was also a little surprised that the Taoist sect was willing to give away such a treasure. This was too generous!
Gao Xuan said: "No merit, no reward. I can't accept such a generous gift."
The item was so good that Gao Xuan just took it without thinking.
Bai Yunsheng said hurriedly: "This treasure is extremely profound. We have been trying to comprehend it for many years but have gained nothing. It is just right to give it to the Heavenly Master. Heavenly Master, please don't be polite."
He paused and continued, "The Dragon Court is in charge of the Eastern Province, and the Buddhist sect is overbearing. We Taoists are suffering. With the help of the Heavenly Master, we are not strong enough, so we can only do our best in this way..."
Gao Xuan then understood that the Taoist sect had given him this treasure in hopes of helping him to have a good fight with the Buddhist sect and Longting.
What the other party wanted was simple. Even without them, he would still have to compete with Buddhism and Longting.
Gao Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "This treasure is quite useful to me. In this case, I won't be polite."
He didn't look at it any more, but rolled up the scroll and put it into his sleeve.
Bai Yunsheng was very happy when he saw the Thunder Emperor Diagram under Gao Xuan. "My disciples are not good enough to help the Heavenly Master. I just hope that the Heavenly Master can improve his magical powers and wipe out all these evil spirits and monsters, and restore the bright and clear sky to the Qingtian Realm..."
Since flattery doesn't cost any money, Bai Yunsheng let go and started flattering Gao Xuan wildly.
Jiang Yumei felt a little awkward sitting aside and could only speak as little as possible.
"By the way, Master Tian, there is a seventh-rank master named Lin Jianghong in the Eastern Province. This person has a close relationship with the Dragon Clan."
Bai Yunsheng was very familiar with the situation in the Eastern Province. He felt that Long Ting would definitely make use of Lin Jianghong, so he had to tell Gao Xuan in advance.
He said: "Lin Jianghong is a mean and vicious person, and he only cares about profit. The Five Poisons Divine Flag in his hand is extremely poisonous. Heavenly Master, you have to be careful of this person..."
Gao Xuan had heard of Lin Jianghong, after all, he was a seventh-rank Heavenly Master, known as the one who managed all Heavenly Masters in the Qingtian Realm. But he had never paid much attention to him.
After hearing what Bai Yunsheng said, Gao Xuan realized that Lin Jianghong was also a figure and should not be underestimated.
Bai Yunsheng often traveled around and was very familiar with the situations in Buddhism, Demonic Sect and Dragon Court.
He told Gao Xuan many secrets about the three major forces in great detail. Many of these secrets were the first time Jiang Yumei had heard of them.
Bai Yunsheng is a good speaker and can make ordinary things quite interesting.
After talking for quite a while, as it was getting dark, Bai Yunsheng took the initiative to say goodbye to Jiang Yumei.
Coming out of Qingyun Residence, Bai Yunsheng said to Jiang Yumei: "This Heavenly Master is indeed extraordinary. This is a rare opportunity. It's a pity that Ku Mu is too conservative."
Jiang Yumei thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing wrong with being conservative. Tianlong Island is full of twists and turns, and we are weak, so we should be cautious."
Bai Yunsheng sighed and shook his head. These people in the Dao Sect were just timid and could not do big things. Seeing this good opportunity, they could go deeper and seize more benefits.
But Jiang Yumei and Ku Mu were both like this, so he didn't say anything more.
Bai Yunsheng changed the subject and said, "Master Gao has an extraordinary bearing, three points better than Jiang Yuelan. He is most likely the reincarnation of a great being from the upper realm."
Jiang Yumei was a little unhappy when Bai Yunsheng said that Jiang Yuelan was not good enough, but she had to admit that Gao Xuan's elegant demeanor was truly pure and innocent, yet gentle, calm and indifferent.
Although Jiang Yuelan was born with immortal bones, he seemed too immature compared to Gao Xuan.
Jiang Yumei shook her head slightly: "It's hard to say. However, this Master Gao is indeed powerful."
Just by looking at the weather, Jiang Yumei was certain that Gao Xuan was an unrivaled strong man, at least far superior to her.
"The Dharma Assembly will begin in a few days. It will be a lively time with many people fighting and vying for supremacy..."
Bai Yunsheng's face was full of envy, but unfortunately, they could only be spectators in this excitement.
Gao Xuan, who was sitting in the main hall, heard the conversation between Bai Yunsheng and Jiang Yumei. He was not deliberately eavesdropping.
However, within this range, all divine communication could not escape the induction of the ninth consciousness. And since the other party was talking to him, he had no choice but to hear it.
It can be heard that Bai Yunsheng is ambitious. But if he lacks the ability, his ambition will be useless.
Gao Xuan took out the picture of the Divine Thunder Emperor from his sleeve. This time there were no outsiders around, so he could study it carefully.
According to some Taoist records, Shenxiao Leidi is the most powerful supreme being who controls thunder.
However, this is only the view of some sects.
There are many sects within Taoism, and the records in various books often contradict each other. The same is true for Buddhism.
Even in the Heavenly Palace, there are various theories that four emperors or three emperors jointly rule the Heavenly Palace.
Shenxiao Leidi, to be more precise, should be the Thunder God worshipped by several major Taoist sects including Shenxiao, Yuxiao and Qingxiao.
The picture of the Thunder Emperor of the Divine Sky vividly and completely presents the image of this Thunder Emperor. Moreover, there is a ray of powerful thunder divine will on it.
The problem is that this strand of divine will was broken into three parts. Although the picture was pieced together again, the broken strands of thunder divine will could not be integrated into one.
Therefore, although this picture of Thunder Emperor is good, it has huge problems.
Gao Xuan studied it for a while and gained a lot. However, this thunder method was profound and complicated, and he couldn't figure it out in a short time.
Because this ray of thunder divine will is broken, although the Thunder Emperor diagram is complete, it is impossible to visualize the complete Thunder Emperor.
Gao Xuan recalled the numerous thunder tribulations he had experienced, but found it difficult to reconcile them with the aura of this Thunder Emperor.
The Godly Thunder Emperor really has the aura of commanding all thunder.
Gao Xuan can now forcibly visualize the Divine Thunder Emperor, but it is difficult for him to grasp the essence of it.
The Thunder Emperor visualized only has the appearance, but not the spirit. That Thunder Emperor is of no use. With this picture of the Thunder Emperor of the Divine Sky, it is only at the top level of immortal weapon. It is equivalent to the level of Juntian Wheel and Tianyin Dao Hairpin.
For Gao Xuan, more or less is neither too much nor too little.
Gao Xuan simply put away the Map of the Divine Thunder Emperor first. He left Qingye and the Qingye Sword Soul behind and put it into the Wujian Tianlong Claw.
Because Bai Yunsheng and the others came too hastily, Gao Xuan had to withdraw from the Future Star Pearl. He had no time to study the Qingye Sword Soul.
To be honest, although the Future Star Pearl is of an extremely high level and can mobilize the power of the stars in the sky, it can open up a whole new world for him.
However, Gao Xuan was still more interested in the Qingye Sword Soul.
Gao Xuan has a great talent in spiritual cultivation, but he believes that his real talent lies in swordsmanship.
Gao Xuan was also quite proud of the Shuitian Sword he created.
Until now, Gao Xuan’s strongest fighting method is still the Hongyi Sword and the Shuitian Sword.
In Ziwei Star Palace, Gao Xuan was beaten by Qingye in a rather embarrassing way. If it weren't for his soul being much stronger than the other party, he would have really been defeated.
To be fair, Qingye's swordsmanship is indeed far superior to his.
In Gao Xuan's opinion, Qingye's swordsmanship was close to the Tao, but Qingye's cultivation level was too low.
Gao Xuan used the Wujian Tianlong Claw to absorb Qingye's sword soul and extracted Qingye's memories and spiritual power characteristics.
Qingye's memory is unremarkable. She was adopted by the Demon Lord Tianhen when she was young. The Demon Lord Tianhen used all means to trigger the sword spirit in her soul.
After that, Qingye continued to practice swordplay. She rarely made a move, so much so that the outside world didn't know that the Demon Sect had such a peerless swordsman.
There is a ray of pure innate sword intent in Qingye's sword soul.
Although the Qingye Sword Soul was destroyed, this ray of sword intent was not destroyed. Although the Wujian Tianlong Claw can absorb various soul powers, it cannot absorb this ray of pure sword intent.
Gao Xuan looked through all of Qingye's memories about swordsmanship again and discovered that she was born with the Qingye swordsmanship, and all her training was just to try to tap out the power of the sword soul.
For Qingye, using Qingye swordsmanship is instinctive.
The Qingye Sword is divided into three moves: stabbing, slashing, and transforming.
Stabbing and slashing are the simplest, while the transformation technique is the most complicated.
"Hua" is a general term for the transformation of swordsmanship. Qingye's last sword transformation into ten thousand swords is the "Hua" method.
This is the simplest application of the word "Hua". The word "Hua" can also be used for cultivation to cleanse all things.
Gao Xuan practiced according to the method, and the more he practiced, the more he felt that the Qingye Sword was wonderful.
In comparison, although his Shuitian Sword was good, it had too many changes, and his sword techniques were as fancy as magic, losing the essence of the sword.
When it comes to kendo, the most important thing is to be precise and pure.
The peerless swordsmanship of Qingye Sword was finally condensed into three swordsmanship moves. It has been condensed to a certain extreme.
But with Qingye's sword in hand, he naturally had endless divine power. No matter how many changes Gao Xuan's swordsmanship had, he was suppressed and couldn't raise his head.
Gao Xuan also had a deep understanding when he thought of this. In the future, he would try to simplify and condense his sword skills and remove the complicated changes.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that his Shuitian Sword has no value.
On the contrary, without the current Shuitian Sword, he would not be able to reach this step. From simple to complex, and then from complex to simple, each step is crucial.
Just as the innocence of a child is merely its nature, the ability of an elderly person to remain in a state of innocence is wisdom.
The two seem to be the same, but their realms are very different.
The Wujian Tianlong Claw was unable to refine even a ray of Qingye sword intent, and Gao Xuan did not want to take the risk of using his soul to absorb this ray of sword intent.
Doing so would certainly allow his swordsmanship to advance by leaps and bounds, but it would also cause his spirit to lose its purity.
No matter how good this external force is, it is still an external force. A little bit of disharmony will destroy his innate Hunyuan Dao body.
A wisp of green leaf sword intent is so brilliant and extraordinary, but it cannot be wasted.
After much consideration, Gao Xuan finally put the trace of Qingye sword intent into the Hongyi Sword.
There is an endless sea of Xuanming Curse deep within the Hongyi Sword, which continuously dissipates this ray of Qingye Sword Intent through the most subtle Xuanming Curse.
Dripping water wears away a stone!
A wisp of green leaf sword intent had no divine will to control it, and soon it could not hold on under the consumption of the Xuanming Curse Sea and dissipated into specks of green light.
These streams of light fell on the Xuanming Curse Sea, immediately dyeing the deep Xuanming Curse Sea green.
The green color became thicker and thicker, spreading along the Xuanming Curse Sea.
Gao Xuan was also amazed. This ray of sword intent was so powerful. Fortunately, he did not use his soul to absorb it. Otherwise, his soul would be invaded by the sword intent and he would turn himself green...
After being blessed by the Tiangang Law, the Xuanming Curse Sea increased by 30 billion times. It is conceivable how majestic and vast the Xuanming Curse Sea is.
After the Qingye sword intent permeated a small part of the Xuanming Curse Sea, it had no more strength to expand.
No matter how strong the sword intent is, after being expanded and diluted layer by layer, its power will inevitably become weaker.
Gao Xuan took advantage of this opportunity and saw the profound changes in Qingye's sword intent.
In the battle with Qingye, Gao Xuan had already learned three-tenths of the essence of Qingye Sword. This time, he would forcibly open Qingye Sword Intent through the Xuanming Curse Sea.
The Qingye sword intent expanded a billion times, revealing all the subtle changes.
Gao Xuan also truly learned the three styles of the Qingye Sword: stabbing, slashing, and transforming.
However, Gao Xuan couldn't think of a good way to merge the Qingye Sword and the Shuitian Sword.
The Water and Sky Sword is as agile as water and as vast as the sky.
The Yellow Spring Sword, the Ice Soul Sword, and the Abyss Sword may seem to have nothing to do with Shui Tian, but in fact they are closely related to the sword intent.
The Aoba Sword is completely different. Its sword intent is pure and does not borrow from any external objects or images. All its power lies in how to control the sword.
This kind of pure focus is not in line with the approach of Shuitian Sword.
Gao Xuan thought for a long time but had no clue. This peerless sword technique was already at a higher level than his own, and he couldn't change it just because he wanted to.
The same goes for the Divine Thunder Emperor Diagram, which is not something he can easily control.
Gao Xuan felt that if he could figure this out and integrate the Qingye Sword into the Shuitian Sword, he should be able to prove his truth with the sword and become an earthly immortal.
Now his strength in all aspects is infinitely close to the level of Earthly Immortal, the only thing missing is a breakthrough.
As long as you condense the laws of earthly immortals, you will naturally be blessed by the laws of heaven and earth and become the ancestor of that place.
However, this takes time to accumulate.
Gao Xuan himself knew that this could not be accomplished overnight.
After the Tianlong Dharma Assembly was over, he wanted to find a place to retreat. Once all obstacles were overcome, he would ascend to the upper realm and find a place to achieve earthly immortality.
Gao Xuan was planning his next move when he suddenly felt a sense that a malicious force was approaching rapidly.
Gao Xuan opened his eyes and said to Lian Yi who was standing guard beside him, "Go open the door. There is an evil guest coming."
Lianyi and Bingpo were originally taking turns to guard Gao Xuan. They were just sitting there with nothing to do, so they couldn't help but perk up when they heard Gao Xuan's instructions.
Damn you, there are so many people in this place who are not afraid of death!
Lianyi responded hurriedly. She came out of the yard and opened the door, only to see two people coming outside.
The man in front had a lion nose, a wide mouth, a head full of yellow hair, and a tall stature. It was Ao Jiuni.
The man behind Ao Jiuni was wearing a bright red Taoist robe, with long eyebrows and narrow eyes, and a mean and arrogant face. It was obvious that he was not easy to deal with.
There was a golden seal hanging on this man's belt, which looked quite similar to the golden seal of the master Tianshi.
Gao Xuan said that they were bad guests, and they were brought by Ao Jiuni, so Lianyi also had a cold face.
"What's up, you two?"
Ao Jiuni didn't care. He smiled and bowed, saying, "Daoyou, please inform the Heavenly Master that Heavenly Master Lin is here to visit."
Lianyi snorted softly: "Come in, the master is waiting for you."
Ao Jiuni was in a good mood: "The Heavenly Master is very powerful and can predict the future."
Lin Jianghong frowned slightly. He didn't like Lianyi's attitude. How dare a little maid be so rude
From this we can see how arrogant Gao Xuan is.
Lin Jianghong holds a very distinguished position in the Eastern State, and he has a close relationship with Long Ting, so even the Buddhist sect does not dare to offend him.
After thousands of years of smooth sailing, Lin Jianghong became more and more arrogant. The more arrogant a person is, the more he cannot stand other people being arrogant.
Before even entering the door, Lin Jianghong had already developed a strong dislike for Gao Xuan.
Even with this mentality, Lin Jianghong was still shocked by Gao Xuan's demeanor and bearing.
This kind of person was the first time he had seen one in the Eastern State!
Lin Jianghong was originally furious, but now he calmed down a bit. He thought to himself that if Gao Xuan was sensible and obedient, he would not make things too difficult for him.
As soon as Gao Xuan saw Lin Jianghong, he knew who the other person was. After all, Bai Yunsheng had specifically reminded him.
After a few simple courtesies, both parties took their seats as host and guest.
Gao Xuan knew very well that the other party had bad intentions. They were all people of status and they couldn't just come up and brandish guns and sticks. That would be too ugly.
However, the guests should just be treated casually. The tea served to these two was just ordinary tea.
Gao Xuan smiled and said, "I have heard of Master Lin's name for a long time. I was thinking of finding an opportunity to pay him a visit. I didn't expect that Master Lin would come to visit me. I am so sorry that I didn't come to greet him."
"We are all Heavenly Masters and colleagues, but there is no need to be polite."
Lin Jianghong asked: "Which star official appointed you? Do you have a golden seal?"
Gao Xuan took out the Heavenly Master's Golden Seal and gestured to Lin Jianghong: "Here is the golden seal."
Lin Jianghong could tell the specifications and style of the gold seal at a glance; it was indeed a ninth-grade gold seal.
He couldn't help but look a little more proud: "So you are a ninth-rank Heavenly Master. Did you know that all the Heavenly Masters in the Blue Sky Realm are under my control?"
Gao Xuan shook his head: "I am in charge of the golden seal, protecting the area, and fulfilling my duties. But no one told me whose orders to obey."
Hearing Gao Xuan say this, Lin Jianghong looked unhappy: "The hierarchy in the Heavenly Court is strict and has its own rules. It is totally wrong for you to be so casual."
Without waiting for Gao Xuan to speak, Lin Jianghong said, "However, ignorance is not a crime. It's OK that you didn't know before. From now on, you have to obey my orders."
Gao Xuan smiled and said, "That's right."
Seeing that Gao Xuan did not refute, Lin Jianghong's expression softened a bit: "I have always been fair and tolerant, so you don't have to worry."
Gao Xuan smiled and nodded: "In that case, I hope Master Lin will take good care of me in the future."
Lin Jianghong smiled proudly: "I will definitely take care of you."
He paused, put away the smile on his face and asked in a deep voice: "But I have something to ask you. You killed the Third Prince Ao Ming without authorization. Do you admit your crime?"
