"Sir, His Majesty invites you to attend the Jiyuan birthday celebration..."
The Golden Ape King reluctantly returned to Golden Ape Mountain. It took him less than half a day to go there, but more than ten days to come back.
Seeing Gao Xuan occupying his favorite stone bed, the Golden Ape King felt sad again.
He thought about how happy he was in the past, lying on the stone bed and eating whatever he wanted, playing with the female gorilla whenever he wanted. Now, he could only kneel down and watch a human occupy his stone bed.
Gao Xuan didn't notice the Golden Ape King's slight resentment. It was normal for Shi Wanqiu not to come. The other party was a demon king and a terrestrial immortal. It was impossible for him to come running over as soon as he called. That would be too undignified.
Shi Wanqiu is a demon king who is very particular about etiquette and must attach great importance to face.
Asking the Golden Ape King to go over and invite him is just a small test.
It now seemed that Shi Wanqiu could not break the Golden Ape King's soul restriction. His attainments in magic were not very high.
This is also normal. Monsters are inherently low in intelligence and rely entirely on their natural talents to prove their abilities. Few monsters are proficient in Taoism.
Besides, the Golden Ape King's soul restriction is very delicate and requires special skills. It is not something that can be broken by just great strength.
If it were any other earthly immortal, he might not be able to break it.
Gao Xuan just lacked an intuitive understanding of the power of earthly immortals, so he used some tricks.
Of course, it is also possible that Shi Wanqiu deliberately did not break the Golden Ape King's soul restriction. However, this possibility is very, very small.
There is no need for a dignified Earthly Immortal Demon King to deliberately hide his power. Breaking the soul restriction is the best way to show off his power.
Gao Xuan sent the Golden Ape King away, then he took out a gourd of purple gold spirit sand and concentrated on refining it.
When Gao Xuan saw the purple gold spiritual sand for the first time, he felt that this thing contained special spiritual energy and was extraordinary.
But Gao Xuan was not sure what it was used for. After continuous experiments and the deduction of the Nine-turn Wuxiang, he found the most suitable way to use it.
The purple gold spiritual sand contains the spiritual energy of earth and fire, which has both the endless thickness and depth of the earth and the fierceness and fieryness of the earth and fire.
The Golden Ape King should swallow this treasure to strengthen his own body.
Gao Xuan's innate Hunyuan Taoist body is extremely powerful, but he does not need such a rough method to increase his strength.
The purple gold spiritual sand is truly compatible with the Juntian Wheel.
This magical weapon that Gao Xuan refined himself has never been able to play a significant role.
The main problem is that the power is too weak, but the speed is very fast. However, with the Gaoxuan Sword in hand, you can travel freely in space without using other external objects.
When traveling long distances and being able to directly use space travel, the Juntian Wheel seems a bit redundant.
However, the Star Sand and Xuanguang Mirror of Juntian Wheel are top-level spiritual objects. Even in the upper three realms, such spiritual objects are rare.
The Juntian Wheel was not powerful enough, and Gao Xuan's refining skills were mediocre, so he failed to truly unleash the power of the Xuanguang Mirror and Xingsha.
The purple gold spiritual sand can be regarded as the essence of thick earth, which corresponds to the star sand above the nine heavens.
In one day and one place, the yin and yang energies can interact with each other.
Gao Xuan did not act hastily. He tried to refine a little purple gold spirit sand and added it to the Juntian Wheel. Sure enough, an extremely mysterious reaction occurred. It was also completely consistent with the deduction of the Wuxiang Jiuzhuan.
However, during the process of the interaction between yin and yang, the star power above the nine heavens was also aroused.
This change, however, far exceeded the deduction of the Nine Transformations of Wuxiang.
Gao Xuan took this change as an opportunity to re-deduce, and suddenly found that Juntian Wheel and Star Power were very compatible.
The Juntian Wheel controls the Yuanci divine light, which can also be regarded as a special star power.
With this inference, Gao Xuan thought of the future Star Pearl.
This treasure he got from the Demon Sect, he had hardly used it after refining it.
Because star power is a very special kind of power, it must be controlled by special methods.
Star power is ever-changing and profound. Cultivators usually only use star power to predict the future, and very few cultivators can directly control star power.
The Future Star Pearl allowed Gao Xuan's consciousness to connect to the Ziwei Star above the Nine Heavens, but the Ziwei Star was like a huge server. Gao Xuan connected through the Future Star Pearl, just like registering a user on the server.
In simple terms, he can harness the star power through Ziwei Star. However, the star power he can harness is very limited. Ziwei Star is definitely not something he can control.
After Gao Xuan ascended to the Yuantian Realm, he focused on swordsmanship and thunder magic, and completely put aside external objects such as the Future Constellation Pearl.
It was not until this moment that Gao Xuan suddenly remembered the Future Star Pearl, because the Future Star Pearl's control of star power was quite compatible with the current Juntian Wheel.
The Future Star Pearl is indeed magical. It allows people to connect with the Purple Star and use the power of the stars to cover up their own destiny.
However, the Future Star Pearl is unsatisfactory in other aspects.
Gao Xuan had an idea and thought of merging the Future Star Pearl and the Juntian Wheel.
He holds the Greedy Furnace in his hands and is the owner of two divine artifacts. It is not difficult for him to merge them.
The problem is that it is not easy to truly and cleverly combine the two artifacts and give full play to the advantages of the two artifacts.
Gao Xuan deduced from the Nine Transformations of the Formless Realm and felt that this method was feasible. The ninth consciousness also told him that this path was feasible.
The worst result would be the destruction of the Juntian Wheel and the Future Star Pearl, but the loss was not serious.
If the fusion is successful, he will have an extra powerful artifact in his hands, which can be compared with the Hongyi Sword, Tianlong Pupil, and Five Elements Tianluo Divine Light.
After the Golden Ape King returned, Gao Xuan was sure that Shi Wanqiu would not come to cause trouble in the near future, so he began to refine the Future Star Pearl and Juntian Wheel.
This process is not complicated. It involves the fusion of the Greedy Furnace, and the Future Star Pearl and the Purple Gold Spirit Sand are then integrated into the Juntian Wheel.
The foundation of Juntian Wheel is Xuanguang Mirror, which is itself a part of Juntian Wheel. Juntian Wheel is known as the central axis of the Nine Heavens and can bear all changes.
Therefore, this fusion needs to be based on Juntian Wheel.
When melting the Future Star Bead, Gao Xuan connected his mind with the Ziwei Star in the starry sky, retaining the most fundamental core connecting the Future Star Bead and the stars in the sky.
The added purple gold spiritual sand merged with the star sand to form a perfect trend of harmony between heaven and earth, and then used the Juntian Wheel as a framework to continuously absorb the power of the stars in the sky.
During this process, Gao Xuan felt the powerful attraction of Ziwei Star.
He did not resist, and his soul entered the Purple Star Palace above the Nine Heavens. In this special place, he also had a deeper connection with the power of the stars in the sky.
At this time, Gao Xuan determined that although the power of the stars in the sky was strong, it was divided into different levels.
Gao Xuan also had an epiphany in his heart. Although he regarded Ziwei Star as his life star, the power of Ziwei Star itself was too strong and its changes were too mysterious. It was not something he could control now.
Therefore, he should choose the truly suitable star power to establish a stable connection.
Among all the stars in the sky, the power of each star is very different.
Gao Xuan sensed the changes in star power and finally selected three stars as the main stars.
Qi Sha, Po Jun, and Tan Lang.
Among the three main stars, one is responsible for killing, one is responsible for attacking and breaking through the sharp edges, and Tan Lang is responsible for mysterious changes.
After the three main stars were determined, the artifact refined by Gao Xuan also took shape.
The newly refined artifact was still in the shape of a halo, with a diameter of only a few feet, but the color of the halo had turned dark blue. Inside the dark blue halo, there were faint starlight.
These stars are purple, red, or gold. The nine-pointed stars shine and change constantly, just like an endless starry sky.
The newly refined halo is connected to the stars above and the thick earth below, and contains the Juntian Central Axis that supports the nine heavens and nine earths.
The original primordial magnetic divine light was completely eliminated by the light wheel. The primordial magnetic divine light only had one word "fast", but it did not change. At this level, the primordial magnetic divine light was not worth mentioning.
Gao Xuan sensed the changes of this magic weapon, and found that there were four core changes: Ziwei, Qisha, Pojun and Tanlang.
Inducing the Purple Star can cover the thread of fate, break all kinds of cause and effect, and not be affected by the five elements of yin and yang. It is a trick to save your life.
However, this method should not be used lightly.
Seven Killings is to activate the Seven Killing Stars, and use the power of the Seven Killing Stars to kill all kinds of creatures. No matter what immortality the opponent has, Seven Killings can break it.
Po Jun is good at attacking and destroying sharp ones. Qi Sha is good at killing living beings, but Po Jun can break through various forces such as artifacts and magic arrays.
Tan Lang is more secretive, it can devour all kinds of power, and it can also escape into the void without leaving any trace. Whether it is used to escape or to hurry, it is an excellent change.
Gao Xuan mastered this magical artifact. His soul and the artifact were in harmony, so he naturally mastered the various changes of this new artifact.
He decided to name this artifact Juntian Star Divine Wheel.
Gao Xuan also had a sudden inspiration to refine this Juntian Star God Wheel. As far as he felt, the Juntian Star God Wheel could control the star power, which made it very difficult to restrain.
In terms of power, although the Juntian Star Divine Wheel was pieced together by him, it is not inferior to the Tianlong Pupil and the Hongyi Sword.
Because the foundation of the Juntian Star Wheel is actually the Xuanguang Mirror, which is the Future Star Pearl. Gao Xuan just cleverly combined the two artifacts.
Gao Xuan was very satisfied with the result. Through this ritual, he not only obtained a very powerful artifact, but also gained a new understanding of star power.
There are countless stars in the sky, and the star power of each star is different. If you want to control the star power, you must find a main star that suits you.
Ziwei, Qisha, Pojun and Tanlang each have their own uses. There is also endless potential in the future.
As long as his level is improved and he has a deeper understanding of star power, the Juntian Star Divine Wheel can be upgraded to a terrestrial weapon or a celestial weapon.
Of course, there is still a long way to go. The Juntian Star God Wheel is also a big threat to the Earthly Immortals.
Unfortunately, there were no enemies nearby for him to test the power of the artifact.
Gao Xuan calculated that there was enough time, so he sat on the bed every day, traveling through the starry sky with the help of the Juntian Star Divine Wheel, sensing the changes in the stars.
Billions of star powers are intertwined above the starry sky, and even Gao Xuan's soul cannot withstand the erosion of such powerful star power.
If you wander in your mind for a long time, your soul will be assimilated by the power of the stars.
Only then did Gao Xuan realize the power of star power, which was a thousand times more powerful than the Blood River Heavenly Evil Thunder.
The Blood River Heavenly Evil Divine Thunder was the most vicious magic that Gao Xuan had ever seen. Even if an ordinary cultivator survived a blow, his soul and body would be corroded by the power of the Blood River Heavenly Evil and would soon be completely destroyed.
The star power is very pure, but there are billions of star powers intertwined, and each star power change is powerful and unique. This is an extremely severe test for the cultivator's soul.
Gao Xuan had originally tempered his innate Taoist body through the Ziwei Star. Now with the Juntian Star Divine Wheel, he could enter deeper into the starry sky and attract more and stronger star power.
He soon discovered that this was a shortcut to cultivating the innate Hunyuan Taoist body.
The innate primordial Taoist body is a whole, perfect inside and out.
Gao Xuan could not discover the problem with his innate Hunyuan unity by himself, so he could only use external forces to find out the flaws and then find ways to modify them.
The star power of the Yuantian Realm is even stronger, which is different from that of the Qingtian Realm.
After Gao Xuan discovered this path of cultivation, he controlled the Juntian Star Divine Wheel and moved directly to the depths of the starry sky, using the endless star power to temper his body and soul.
After several months, Gao Xuan's innate Hunyuan Taoist body made great progress.
However, at this stage, relying on star power to refine will only deplete the original source and it will be difficult to play the role of tempering the Taoist body.
Gao Xuan also felt an obvious bottleneck. As long as the Xiantian Hunyuan Dao Body took one more small step forward, it would be able to break through the current realm and enter the Earthly Immortal level.
Sword and thunder methods were Gao Xuan's temporary choices because these two paths were easier to condense the laws of earthly immortals.
The innate primordial Dao body is his foundation. If the innate primordial Dao body can condense the laws of earthly immortals, that would be a real breakthrough.
Unfortunately, Gao Xuan didn’t know how to break through this step.
The tempering of the star power of the heavens was very useful. However, it could only help him to perfect his innate primordial Dao body, but it could not help him break through.
This kind of thing can't be rushed.
Other earthly immortals had to practice for tens or even millions of years to achieve enlightenment. Although he was quite lucky, it was not easy for him to take shortcuts.
Gao Xuan calculated that the time was about right, so he opened his eyes and called Lianyi and Bingpo, asking them to get ready to leave.
The Golden Ape King has also arrived. He has been beaten and taught a lesson by Lianyi in the past few months, and now he is less rebellious.
Gao Xuan said: "Tomorrow is Daoist Fellow Shi Wanqiu's birthday, let's set off now."
The Golden Ape King was a little surprised. Gao Xuan really dared to attend the Lion Wanqiu Era birthday party? This guy is really brave...
He knew very well that Shi Wanqiu would never allow any independent strong man to exist in his territory.
The Golden Ape King was very happy. Shi Wanqiu was too busy celebrating his birthday to bother with Gao Xuan. Gao Xuan didn't know whether to live or die and went over on his own, which was great.
Gao Xuan will either be subdued by Shi Wanqiu or beaten to death. There is no other way.
By then, he will surely be free again.
After coming out of Golden Ape Mountain, Gao Xuan transformed a cloud dragon chariot. He, Lianyi and Bingpo sat in the chariot, and the Golden Ape King could only sit in the front as a charioteer.
The Cloud Dragon Chariot itself is just a small magical tool, not a big deal. How fast it can run depends on the ability of the driver.
The Golden Ape King was not good at fighting, but he was very good at leaping through the air. The Cloud Dragon Chariot drew on the power of the Golden Ape King and quickly shuttled through the air.
By the time the red sun set in the sky, the cloud dragon chariot had already arrived at Qianqiu Palace.
Tomorrow is Shi Wanqiu's 30th birthday, and the entire Qianqiu Palace is decorated with lights and colors.
In the dim sunlight of the setting sun, Qianqiu Palace appears even more brilliantly lit and bustling.
Colorful lights were shining in the sky, and various monsters and cultivators were rushing over from all directions.
Most of the monsters transformed into their original forms and flew over. There were giant eagles and flying cranes, strange birds and black crows, and all kinds of monsters, each of them looked quite ugly and ferocious.
However, before entering Qianqiu Palace, these monsters must transform into human form, wear gorgeous clothes that don't fit them well, and try their best to act polite and elegant.
Gao Xuan's cloud dragon chariot was not very conspicuous among them.
The Golden Ape King did not dare to act recklessly and landed his Cloud Dragon Chariot at Qianqiu Palace.
Gao Xuan didn't say anything. A guest should follow the host's wishes. When you come to someone else's house, you should always respect the host. Of course, this does not affect him from killing the host...
Well, those are two different things.
Obeying the rules is a form of self-cultivation, while killing people is an irreconcilable contradiction.
King Golden Ape knew Shi Wanqiu's character and had prepared a formal dress long beforehand. A red robe with gold embroidery. He also got a long-winged hat to wear.
Most of this set of human grooms was put on the Golden Ape King, which had an indescribable funny and festive taste. It also fully explained what it meant to be a monkey in a human costume.
Lianyi pointed at the Golden Ape King and laughed so hard that tears came out.
Although Bingpo did not show his emotions, a smile appeared in his bright eyes when he saw the funny look of the Golden Ape King.
Gao Xuan also laughed. This Golden Ape King was quite interesting.
Although the Golden Ape King was unfamiliar with human etiquette and laws, he was very smart and realized something was wrong when Lianyi and the others smiled at him.
If someone else dared to laugh, he would have slapped them in the face and smashed their heads. But he didn't have the courage to move a ripple.
The Golden Ape King was laughed at and felt quite embarrassed. He stood there at a loss, his face already showing a bit of blushing. Fortunately, his black hair covered it, and others could not help but look down on him because his face and butt were the same color.
The Golden Ape King glanced at the guys around him. These monsters were also wearing bright red robes, but the robes didn't fit them well. They were worn crookedly and looked stupid.
In comparison, he felt that he was still pretty good. He didn't know what Lianyi and the others were laughing at.
The Golden Ape King bravely asked, "Master, am I wearing the wrong clothes?"
"It's festive, there's nothing right or wrong about it."
Gao Xuan comforted her, saying that such a small matter was not worth paying too much attention to.
There are too few humans here, and there is no human civilization. Shi Wanqiu is trying to be pretentious, and the monsters are trying to figure out his intentions, which is why things are so messed up.
I think Shi Wanqiu would also find it funny. However, the monsters did their best.
The Golden Ape King is a wild monster with a thick skin, so he doesn't care that much about these things.
He quickly adjusted himself and said to Gao Xuan, "Master, let's go to Ping'an Inn first. It's the best inn here. Let's stay here for one night and then go to celebrate the birthday tomorrow..."
The Golden Ape King stayed outside the gate of Qianqiu Palace for a while, but no one came to question him. He was a little disappointed that the Demon King didn't care much about Gao Xuan's arrival.
But he changed his mind and realized that His Majesty the Demon King just felt that Gao Xuan was unimportant, so he didn't care about him.
Gao Xuan will definitely be in trouble at the birthday party tomorrow!
Thinking of this, the Golden Ape King was somewhat happy again. He actively led Gao Xuan and the others to the Ping An Inn.
Along the way, they attracted the attention of many monsters. After all, human cultivators were very rare here, and only in the palace of the Monster King were there many human cultivators.
Gao Xuan, Bingpo and Lianyi were all extremely graceful and outstanding, and they stood out even among humans. Putting them among a group of monsters was like putting a few pieces of beautiful jade in a pile of dirt, which could not be hidden at all.
Fortunately, the monsters that came to celebrate the birthday were not too stupid. Although they were very curious, no monster dared to do anything wrong.
Moreover, there was the Golden Ape King. Quite a few monsters knew this monster king. Seeing how attentively the Golden Ape King served them, many monsters did not dare to act presumptuously.
When Gao Xuan arrived at Ping'an Inn, he saw that this inn was exactly like the inns of the human race, which made it feel more familiar.
There were quite a few monsters sitting in the hall at this moment. A big monster sitting in the middle had narrow eyes and was covered with fine black scales. It was obviously a snake monster in human form.
The snake demon suddenly laughed when he saw the Golden Ape King: "Golden monkey, look at your behavior, it's really ridiculous..."
The Golden Ape King also saw the snake demon. He felt a little embarrassed and a little angry: "Black Snake, you came here naked on His Majesty's birthday without even a piece of clothing. Do you still have any shame?"
The black-skinned snake demon sneered, "Your Majesty is magnanimous, why would you care about such a small matter. You monsters have made people neither human nor demon, which is embarrassing for His Majesty."
As he spoke, he glanced at Gao Xuan with his narrow eyes: "Who are these people? Why are you following them like a lackey?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of many monsters in the hall.
The Golden Ape King was very angry. He shouted, "These are His Majesty's distinguished guests. You cannot afford to offend them. Come over here and kowtow to them."
The black-skinned python demon who called himself the Poison Dragon was not on good terms with the Golden Ape King. The Golden Ape King also got smart at this time and deliberately said something to provoke the Poison Dragon.
The poisonous dragon hates humans the most and is arrogant. He doesn't care about other monsters except Shi Wanqiu.
Sure enough, Du Long narrowed his eyes slightly: "What VIP? How come I don't know."
He grinned at Gao Xuan: "I want to see what your distinguished guest is capable of!"
