Yunguang Mountains, Bandai Peak, Qianqiu Palace.
Qianqiu Palace is called a palace, but in fact it is a city built on the mountain.
This city was completely transformed by Shi Wanqiu's magical power. All the buildings are made of gray-white rocks. The architectural style is simple and elegant, and the planning is orderly.
Many of the monsters and creatures of various races who depend on the Demon King live in Qianqiu Palace.
Although creatures of all races lack education, within Qianqiu Palace, all creatures must abide by the rules set by the Demon King.
The most important thing in Qianqiu Palace is that private fighting is prohibited. Once discovered, both parties will be executed immediately.
Therefore, Qianqiu Palace is very orderly. It is also the trading center for creatures of all races.
Over time, this place naturally became the center of the Yunshulin Sea and the Yunguang Mountain Range.
The Golden Ape King leaped out of the void and landed right above Qianqiu Palace. He had been here dozens of times and was very familiar with the place.
He was born with the magical power of leaping through the air, and could leap hundreds of thousands of miles. It only took him half a day to run from the sea of clouds and trees to Qianqiu Palace.
The Golden Ape King knew that Shi Wanqiu hated rude and impolite people the most. Although he was extremely anxious, he could only land outside Qianqiu Palace.
Qianqiu Palace, where the Demon King Lion Wanqiu lives, is located on the top of the mountain. The palace built with gray-white rocks is magnificent and impressive.
A road was built from the foot of the mountain to the Qianqiu Palace on the top of the mountain, with a total of 3,600 steps. Any creature who wanted to enter the Qianqiu Palace had to walk up step by step.
Creatures below the level of the Demon King must bow with every step.
The Golden Ape King did not take these rules seriously, and was even more impatient now, but he could only walk up the stairs step by step.
When we arrived outside the main gate of Qianqiu Palace, we saw a team of warriors in distinctive armor.
These warriors all have heroic looks and tall stature. Although they are all demons, it is difficult to see their characteristics in appearance.
The Golden Ape King stepped forward and saluted: "Please inform me that the Golden Ape wishes to see Your Majesty."
The leading warrior looked the Golden Ape King up and down, and saw that he was the Demon King, so he did not dare to neglect him.
"Wait a moment, we will report to His Majesty."
The Golden Ape King suppressed his irritability and stood at the door waiting. After waiting for a long time, a beautiful palace maid finally walked out of the main hall.
The maid bowed respectfully to the Golden Ape King: "Golden Ape King, His Majesty has summoned you. Please follow me."
The maid moved with lotus steps, her figure was graceful and elegant, but the Golden Ape King had no intention of appreciating her. He only felt that the woman moved very slowly.
If it were in Yunshulinhai, he would just tear this woman apart and eat her instead of suffering this humiliation.
After passing through several palaces, we finally arrived at the main hall of Qianqiu Palace.
The main hall gate is a hundred feet high, and its majestic and magnificent momentum is more imposing than a thousand-foot-high peak.
This place is filled with powerful space restrictions. No matter what kind of monster enters here, it will be forcibly compressed into an extremely small state.
The Golden Ape King was so overwhelmed by the huge spatial magic that he couldn't even straighten his back. The irritability in his heart had long since disappeared.
He carefully stepped over the high threshold of the side door of the main hall, walked forward more than a hundred feet, knelt on his knees, and paid homage to the Demon King Lion Wanqiu on the throne.
"Golden Ape, get up. How did you find the time to come here..."
The lion on the throne has long golden curly hair, high cheekbones, triangular eyes, a big nose and mouth. He sits there with a heroic and majestic aura.
Shi Wanqiu was wearing a gorgeous golden robe and had a gentle smile, but it could not conceal his lofty imperial demeanor.
On both sides of Shi Wanqiu stood two rows of palace maids, each holding a treasure fan, gourd, long sword and other objects. Further away was a row of elite guards.
There were hundreds of followers. Fortunately, the main hall was so large that the number of these people lined up together was not a big deal.
The Golden Ape King did not dare to look at him any more. He was not very respectful to Shi Wanqiu in private, but he was very obedient in front of Shi Wanqiu, with his buttocks tightly clenched. He was afraid that he would accidentally wet his pants, which would be too embarrassing.
Shi Wanqiu glanced at the golden hoop on the head of the Golden Ape King and said with a smile, "The golden hoop on your head is quite unique."
"Your Majesty, save me."
The Golden Ape King gathered his emotions, his eyes turned red, and tears were about to come out.
He was not lying. The more he thought about the torture he had endured at the hands of Lian Yi, the more he felt wronged and uncomfortable.
As a demon king, he ruled the sea of clouds and trees, so he had never suffered such humiliation.
Even the Demon King Lion Wanqiu was kind to him and never said anything too harsh. He also never insulted him.
The Golden Ape King recounted Gao Xuan's story, and when he talked about his tragic experience, he almost cried.
Actually, he got into such a big trouble because he was doing things for Shi Wanqiu.
The Golden Ape King finally wailed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty must make me take revenge."
Shi Wanqiu laughed instead: "You are also a demon king. If you act like this, won't others laugh at you?"
He waved his hand: "Come forward, let me see this golden hoop."
The Golden Ape King walked up the steps to the platform, came in front of Shi Wanqiu, knelt down hurriedly, and leaned his head forward a little.
Shi Wanqiu reached out and touched the golden hoop on the Golden Ape King's head. The material of this thing was ordinary, and although the runes engraved on it were complicated, they were not very strong.
Strictly speaking, the golden hoop is not a powerful magic weapon. The real power lies in the restriction in the Golden Ape King's soul. The golden hoop is just an external appearance.
Whether there is a golden hoop or not, it actually does not affect the other party's control over the Golden Ape King's soul.
This kind of restriction is very powerful, penetrating deeply into the Golden Ape King's soul. If you want to destroy this restriction, you must first destroy the Golden Ape King's soul.
Of course, if there is enough time, by slowly polishing and consuming it, the restrictions on the Golden Ape King's soul can always be dissolved.
However, this method is too low-level.
Shi Wanqiu has lived for millions of years, so why would he care about the life and death of a monkey? But the fact that he couldn't break the ban meant that the opponent had great skills and should not be underestimated.
Shi Wanqiu asked: "What is the origin of this Gao Xuan? Has he ever told me?"
The Golden Ape King thought for a moment and shook his head vigorously. Gao Xuan only said his name and never said where he came from.
"This restriction is a bit troublesome. Breaking it by force will hurt your soul."
Shi Wanqiu said to the Golden Ape King, "Go back and tell Gao Xuan that I will be holding a 30th-era birthday party in a few months. Invite him to be my guest."
The Golden Ape King suddenly slapped his head and said, "Your Majesty's Epoch Birthday is approaching, I actually forgot."
An era lasts 129,600 years.
When one reaches the level of the Demon King, it is naturally impossible for him to celebrate his birthday every year like ordinary people.
Shi Wanqiu holds a small birthday banquet once every ten thousand years and a big birthday banquet once every era.
The Demon King Shi Wanqiu's 30th birthday is very important. In fact, thousands of years ago, the major demon kings had already begun preparing to celebrate Shi Wanqiu's birthday.
Because the preparations took too long, the Golden Ape King didn't care that much. During this period, Gao Xuan had tossed him around in a life-and-death dilemma, and the Golden Ape King had long forgotten about Shi Wanqiu's 30th epoch birthday.
Shi Wanqiu was not angry either. He said softly to the Golden Ape King, "You can go back now. Don't worry too much about the birthday."
The Golden Ape King was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, I still have to go back?"
He was really scared. When he arrived at Qianqiu Palace, he didn't want to go back and suffer no matter what.
Shi Wanqiu sighed softly: "I can't remove the restriction on your soul. If I leave you here, that Taoist will kill you with just a thought. It's safer for you to go back."
He added, "When you bring him to the birthday banquet, I will speak for you. This Taoist must at least give me some face."
The Golden Ape King had a bitter face, but he did not dare to disobey Shi Wanqiu, so he could only nod and agree.
After the Golden Ape King left the main hall, a female Taoist priest in a star-shaped crown and feathered robe came out from behind the screen of the throne. She had a face like a lotus and eyes like autumn water. She stood there like a lotus on the water, pure and beautiful, without a speck of dust.
Shi Wanqiu smiled warmly at the Taoist woman: "Yulian, what do you think?"
"This restriction technique is very unfamiliar, and I don't know which school it came from."
Yu Lian frowned slightly and said, "This Taoist's magic is so advanced that he manipulates the golden ape like a puppet. Normally, such a powerful person would not dare to enter the territory of other earthly immortals."
Shi Wanqiu asked: "Could it be that the Qinglian Sect knew you were here, so they sent someone to test you?"
Yu Lian shook her head: "My master has a straightforward temper. If he really wanted to find me to pick up the sword, he would come. He wouldn't make it so complicated."
"So this Taoist is coming for me."
Shi Wanqiu thought about it. He had lived for millions of years and had killed countless enemies.
He had fought against almost all the sects of Taoism, Buddhism, Heaven, and Celestial Beings. To be honest, he had quite a few enemies.
However, after he became an earthly immortal, he had been guarding the Yunguang Mountain Range and the Yunshu Forest Sea. He never went out again. No enemy would come to him to seek death.
During these one million years, apart from having to deal with the heavenly calamity, he had lived an extremely comfortable life.
After such a long time, most of his enemies would have died long ago. Those who didn't die probably had no interest in causing trouble for him.
Shi Wanqiu thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out Gao Xuan's origins.
Yu Lian comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. In Qianqiu Palace, even if a fairy came, what would happen?"
The reason why earth immortals are called earth immortals is that they occupy a piece of heaven and earth and become the masters of this world.
The laws of earthly immortals are in harmony with the heaven and earth, which is enough to increase the power of earthly immortals tenfold. The power of external enemies is suppressed tenfold.
In this world, even if you meet a celestial being, you can fight him. As for the earthly immortals of the same level, it is unlikely that they would take the huge risk to fight in other earthly immortal territories.
Yu Lian felt that there was no need to think too much. As long as Shi Wanqiu did not cause chaos, there was no need to be afraid of anyone coming.
Shi Wanqiu nodded. He had a bad feeling in his heart, but there was no need to say more to Yu Lian.
If he can't handle it, Yu Lian is even more useless.
Yu Lian added: "On the day of His Majesty's 30th birthday, all the friends from all over the world gathered. Even if Gao Xuan had extraordinary abilities, it would be easy to deal with him..."
Shi Wanqiu nodded: "No matter who he is, don't think of leaving now that he's here."
He said calmly: "If Gao Xuan knows what's good for him, he will run as far away as possible, and I can still let him live..."
