Taoyuan Sea, Taohua Island.
A peach tree was hundreds of feet tall, with its branches and leaves covering an area of dozens of miles.
At this time, millions of bright red peach blossoms are competing for beauty. From afar, they look like blazing fire and bright clouds, presenting a brilliant and prosperous scene.
Gao Xuan stood under the peach tree with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright peach blossoms covering the sky. He couldn't help but sigh: "The peach blossoms cover the island for thousands of miles. Such a beautiful scene is really wonderful."
Lianyi and Bingpo stood behind Gao Xuan. Bingpo didn't think the peach blossoms were pretty. She could only see that the peach tree connected heaven and earth and harnessed endless vitality. It was very dangerous.
Lianyi really liked peach blossoms. She pointed at the peach tree and said, "Master, this peach tree is beautiful. Let's keep it."
"Gao Xuan, don't go too far."
A man in red walked out from under the peach tree. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his features were handsome yet gentle. He had a slender figure, but walked in a graceful and charming manner.
Lianyi widened her eyes and asked, "Mr. Taohua, are you a man or a woman?"
This man is the owner of this island, the spirit transformed from this peach tree, Peach Blossom Lord. He is a spirit born from the peach tree, and it took him countless thousands of years to become a terrestrial immortal.
Taohua Jun has a strange personality and doesn't like any living creatures. There is only one peach tree on Taohua Island, which is his original form. Apart from that, there is not even a blade of grass.
Any monster passing through the sea area under his jurisdiction, including various fish and shrimp, will be killed by his peach blossom miasma.
In the vast sea area of ten thousand miles with Taohua Island as the center, there was not even a single fish or shrimp to be found.
With such a personality, Mr. Taohua naturally cannot tolerate outsiders intruding into his Peach Blossom Island.
But since it was Gao Xuan who came, no matter how disgusted Taohuajun felt, he didn't dare to act rashly.
During the past few hundred years, the Crazy Shark, Lord Wuchang, the Lord of the Hanging Island, and the Giant Whale King around Peach Blossom Island were all killed by Gao Xuan.
Although Taohua Jun didn't like to interact with other demon kings, these demon kings were all next to him. They were killed one after another, and the spiritual energy in the territory had undergone a huge change. Taohua Jun couldn't help but see it.
Wuchangjun and Kuangsha even came to him and asked him to join forces to deal with Gao Xuan.
Taohuajun had no interest in this, and he didn't believe Gao Xuan could do anything to him.
As a result, within a few hundred years, the surrounding demon kings disappeared one by one.
This also made Taohua Jun more and more panicked. He also considered moving away, but although the Nanman Great Wilderness was large, it all had owners. Where could he move to
Taohuajun hates all other living things, and where he is, no grass grows. He cannot coexist with other lives. Wherever he goes, he will have serious conflicts with the local demon king.
Before Taohuajun hesitated, Gao Xuan had already come to him. Gao Xuan was arrogant, and the maid he brought with him was also so rude.
He shouted at Lianyi: "How dare you!"
The Falling Flower Sword that Peach Blossom Lord practices has the true meaning of withering and destruction when all flowers fall and all things decay. Combined with the Peach Blossom Miasma that corrupts all living things, it specifically kills all living things.
At this moment, Taohua Jun was angry and activated the Luoying sword, intending to take Lianyi's life.
When the Luoying Sword is activated, it is invisible and traceless, and the peach blossom miasma that fills the sky acts as a sword, which is extremely mysterious and vicious.
Lianyi didn't realize something was wrong at first, until the Luoying sword fell, she became alert.
The sword light shone like water, leaving a long straight sword mark in the air.
The water-colored sword mark was like a straight line, dividing Peach Blossom Island into two halves.
The peach blossoms and the huge peach tree in the straight line were all marked with deep water-colored sword marks.
Taohuajun's handsome and charming face was full of astonishment, and he seemed to have no idea how it turned out like this.
After listening for a while, Taohua Jun's face slowly split into two, and his body also split into two. The peach tree behind Taohua Jun also slowly split open.
Then, a deep crack appeared on the ground of Peach Blossom Island. As the water-colored sword mark continued to extend, the sea surface was split by the water-colored sword mark.
At this moment, Peach Blossom Island was like a painting that had been cut in half, with everything cut by the water-colored sword marks.
Even the earthly immortal laws condensed by Peach Blossom Lord were cut into pieces by this sword.
Taohua Jun had practiced for millions of years, and his breath was extremely long. In addition, the law of earthly immortals was not completely broken, so he was only severely injured by this sword, but he did not die.
All of Taohuajun's anger and fighting spirit were extinguished by the sudden sword.
The little maid who followed Gao Xuan was actually an earthly immortal. Moreover, her swordsmanship was far superior to his.
One more blow from the sword and he would surely die.
At this point, Taohuajun dared not fight with Gao Xuan any longer. He just wanted to run as far as possible.
Mr. Peach Blossom did not dare to show his face, and simply turned into a wisp of floating peach blossom miasma and drifted away with the wind.
"I want to run."
Gao Xuan didn't need the ninth sense to remind him, his Tianlong pupil had already seen a wisp of Taohuajun's soul floating in the air.
He flicked his long sleeves, and five-colored spiritual light fell like a net from the sky, capturing the soul of Peach Blossom Lord hidden in the peach blossom miasma into the five-colored light net.
Wrapped in the five-colored light net, Taohua Jun's soul took shape. He struggled hard but could not get rid of the five-colored light net.
The five-colored light net seemed light and airy, but it was as thick as the earth, as sharp as a sword, as vast as the ocean, and as blazing as a flame...
Taohuajun tumbled twice in the five-colored light net and was quickly crushed to pieces by it.
Lianyi was a little surprised: "Hey, this guy survived my sword attack."
Gao Xuan taught him, "Although you have attained the status of an earthly immortal, and your sword is extremely sharp. But his true form is a peach tree, and his vitality is the deepest and longest. The peach blossom miasma is colorless and odorless, and its changes are mysterious. You cannot kill him with one sword."
Lianyi lowered her head and accepted the training honestly. She felt that she was just a little careless. If she had been more serious, she would not have let this guy run away.
Gao Xuan noticed that Lianyi was a little proud. He reached out and knocked Lianyi's forehead twice. "You are a sword immortal who can defeat enemies with sharpness, but you don't have any other magical powers. You can't kill the enemy with one sword, and it's easy for the enemy to counterattack. How dare you be so proud and complacent!"
"Master, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Seeing that Gao Xuan was really angry, Lian Yi quickly covered her forehead and begged for mercy, "Master, it really hurts..."
Gao Xuan glanced at Lianyi unhappily and ignored her.
Taohua Jun was dead, and his soul and blood were all absorbed by the Wujian Tianlong Claw. He looked at the other party's memory, and the Luoying Sword was a little interesting, but just a little interesting.
After hundreds of years of practice, he fused the Five Elements Heavenly Light and the Five Elements Earthly Light into an earthly artifact, and also fused it with the phaseless transformation.
The name of this new earth weapon should be Five Elements Heavenly Net Earthly Evil Divine Light. Gao Xuan thought it was too troublesome, so he changed it to Five Elements Formless Divine Light.
When the Five Elements Divine Light is added with the phaseless transformation, it can transform between the real and the virtual, and the positive and negative changes of the Five Elements can be achieved, resulting in infinite changes.
Gao Xuan robbed the spiritual energy from the territories of the three demon kings, greatly enhancing the power of the Five Elements Heavenly Net Divine Light.
During this process, Gao Xuan also helped Lianyi and Bingpo seize two territories of the Demon King respectively.
Lianyi and Bingpo's sword intent was pure, reaching the level of earthly immortals. They just lacked sufficient spiritual energy.
With the support of spiritual energy, the two easily achieved earthly immortality. A very important point is that both of them achieved the Tao with sword intent, without the help of Hongyi Sword.
In other words, the sword laws of both of them have reached the level of earthly immortals. When necessary, Lianyi and Bingpo can transform into sword laws and attach them to the Hongyi Sword.
Compared to the Five Elements Formless Divine Light, the growth of Ripples and Ice Soul is more important and more meaningful.
Through ripples and ice soul, the Hongyi Sword can be directly upgraded to the level of a ground weapon. With just this sword, Gao Xuan has the confidence to compete with all the immortals in the world.
All Gao Xuan lacks now is the innate Hunyuan Taoist body, and he has not yet reached the level of Earthly Immortal.
The Xiantian Hunyuan Dao body is perfect inside and out, and the Hunyuan is one. From the spirit and soul to the qi and blood, body, and spiritual energy, it has constructed a nearly perfect whole.
To improve the innate primordial body, several aspects must be improved at the same time. After Gao Xuan's deduction and calculation, it was not enough to give him all the remaining spiritual energy in the Southern Wilderness.
This is a bit troublesome.
Fortunately, the Yuantian Realm is vast and endless, and the Nanman Great Wilderness is only one of the eight wildernesses. He can completely swallow up the Nanyi Great Wilderness next to the Nanman Great Wilderness. This will definitely be enough.
However, the most urgent task is to resolve the troubles of the Ten Suffering Sect.
Yuan Xiang used various means to collect information about Gao Xuan. After Gao Xuan refined the Five Elements Formless Divine Light, he immediately knew that something was wrong.
The difference between Gao Xuan and Yuan Xiang is that he has the ninth consciousness and the Nine-turn Divine Cicada. He can always sense danger and various clues in advance.
Yuan Xiang was expanding his territory in a big way, and Gao Xuan found Yuan Xiang after a little investigation. At the same time, he also saw Jin Xiang.
To be honest, Gao Xuan was very surprised that he actually met Jin Xiang in Yuantian Realm.
Back then in the Qingtian Realm, at the East China Sea Sky Dragon Assembly, the East China Sea Dragon King Ao Dongcheng set up the Bloody Thunder Dragon Formation to exterminate all cultivators.
Jin Xiang was sent away by the Buddhist sect and disappeared. I didn't expect her to ascend to the Yuantian Realm so quickly, and her cultivation increased dramatically.
Gao Xuan took a quick look from a distance and didn't dare to look any further. Because Jin Xiang's senses were too sharp. If he looked any further, Jin Xiang would definitely notice something was wrong.
In four thousand years, Jin Xiang has mastered the Vajra Power King Sutra to the highest level. In terms of strength alone, he is stronger than Xiong Wuji.
Gao Xuan was very sure that in a fair fight, Jin Xiang could kill Xiong Wuji with one punch.
Gao Xuan learned a lesson from Xiong Wuji and witnessed the power of pure strength.
Looking at the gold image again, he became more cautious.
The Wujian Tianlong Claw should be able to destroy the Jinxiang, but as for the Yuanxiang, it is one level lower. In fact, it is just the same as the Nine-headed Dragon King, not worth mentioning.
The problem is that behind Yuanxiang and Jinxiang are the Ten Suffering Bodhisattvas, as well as the entire Ten Suffering Sect.
The memories of the five phases were all incomplete, and all the secrets about the Ten Bitterness Sect were sealed. Gao Xuan was not sure how many powerful people there were in the Ten Bitterness Sect.
Even if he was a Bodhisattva of the Ten Sufferings, he would not be sure of winning.
Gao Xuan did not move at that time, but secretly accelerated his expansion. He avoided the area where Yuan Xiang was, and expanded in another direction with Lian Yi and Bing Po.
Only then did they fight all the way to the end of the Nanman Great Wilderness, the Nanman Sea. Peach Blossom King, Giant Whale King and the like were also very marginal demon kings in the Nanman Great Wilderness.
The southern wilderness, the so-called wilderness refers to the mountains, forests and land, and definitely does not include the sea.
For example, the Jiulong Sea is also an inner sea of the Great Wilderness, which is different from the outer sea of the Southern Barbarians.
The Nanman Great Wilderness is a wild land, and the Nanman Sea is the most remote corner of the wild land. Fortunately, the Nanman Sea has more spiritual energy. The monsters in the sea are even more stupid.
Gao Xuan killed his way through without ever using his second move.
Although Taohuajun was the smartest and most agile among the monsters in the Southern Barbarian Sea, he was still no match for Lianyi's sword.
What it all comes down to is that the way these monsters wield their power is too crude.
The same force is no match for ripples.
After Gao Xuan dealt with Taohua Jun, he had a premonition that Jin Xiang Yuan Xiang was coming!
It's not difficult to avoid these two people, but the Southern Wilderness is so small. If Jin Xiang and Yuan Xiang don't leave, they will run into them sooner or later.
Only by solving the problem of the Ten Suffering Sect can Gao Xuan dominate the Southern Wilderness and calmly carry out his grand plan.
To cultivate the innate primordial Dao body, one needs endless spiritual energy and a long time. During this process, Gao Xuan does not want to be disturbed.
If you want to seek peace, you must first have the strength to fight. Exposing your weaknesses and allowing yourself to be slaughtered will not bring peace.
The key point is that at this point, Gao Xuan can no longer keep a low profile and become stronger silently.
At this moment, the only way to be qualified to dominate the wilderness is to show your strength and intimidate the powerful enemy.
Gao Xuan flicked his long sleeves and brought Lianyi and Bingpo back to the main hall of Qianqiu Palace.
Gao Xuan called the Nine-headed Bird and asked him to prepare a banquet to entertain the guests.
The Nine-headed Bird has been in charge of six territories for thousands of years, enjoying great glory. Especially since Gao Xuan never interfered in matters, all chores were left to him to handle. He lived a particularly comfortable life.
Hearing that Gao Xuan was going to host a banquet for distinguished guests, he dared not neglect it. He hurried down to prepare. There was no dragon liver and phoenix marrow, but there were numerous delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and exotic fruits and spiritual objects.
After thousands of years of plundering the territories of the six earthly immortals, Qianqiu Palace has become wealthy.
Gao Xuan had never entertained guests before, and since he was a VIP, the Nine-headed Bird did its best to give Gao Xuan face.
When everything was ready, the Nine-headed Bird stood beside Gao Xuan and served him. He was also very curious about what kind of guest would make Gao Xuan receive him with such solemnity.
Gao Xuan casually asked the Nine-headed Bird about the situation of the territory. The six pieces of land connected together were too large. The Nine-headed Bird was only a demon king, and it was unknown how much energy it would take to control such a large area.
Fortunately, dozens of huge teleportation arrays have been built to allow the six territories to communicate quickly. With this foundation, the six territories can be truly integrated.
Dozens of teleportation arrays also allow the six places to communicate with each other.
Over thousands of years, several territories have become increasingly prosperous.
The main reason is that Gao Xuan came from the interstellar era and he understands the importance of economics.
The monsters in the Southern Wilderness are still in a primitive tribal state. Although the Monster King is strong, he is only strong individually. He has no guiding role for the whole.
In fact, the Demon King sets the order entirely based on his personal preferences, which is of no benefit to the demon community and is even a stumbling block to the community's progress.
Such a backward and primitive form can promote rapid economic development with a little guidance.
Of course, no matter how well the lower-level monsters develop, they are still at the bottom.
In the fairy world, strength is the strongest productive force and the most important capital. The rest is unimportant.
No matter how prosperous the territory is, no matter how well the lower-level monsters develop, they are still ants. In a battle between earthly immortals, the number of low-level cultivators is meaningless.
Unless a special formation is established to gather hundreds of millions of people, or to gather the faith of all living beings to follow the divine path.
Given the laxity and stupidity of the monsters, it is not difficult to preach to them. It is not difficult to form a stable faith either.
It's just that there are too few monsters. Besides, Gao Xuan doesn't like Shinto either.
The faith of all living beings is power, but also a shackle.
Gao Xuan instructed Jiutouniao to carry out economic development simply because he was bored.
In the eyes of Jiu Tou Niao, Gao Xuan was extremely wise. Just a few words of advice from him were like a revelation, which made him suddenly enlightened.
Although these could not directly increase his strength, they broadened his horizons and gave him a new understanding of the world and cultivation.
If the Nine-headed Bird had learned modern knowledge, he would know that this opened up the boundaries of thinking.
This banquet is a display of the achievements of Jiutouniao’s governance over thousands of years.
The nine-headed bird was also very proud of this, and showed a bit of excitement in its words.
Gao Xuan also praised it a few times, saying that order is better than disorder. Although he doesn't need low-level monsters, he is willing to see an orderly world.
Lianyi listened with her eyes wide open. Although she tried very hard to understand the conversation, she became more and more sleepy the more she listened.
Bingpo stood quietly beside Gao Xuan, not saying a word or moving, and did not listen to the conversation between Gao Xuan and the Nine-headed Bird.
Although she has achieved earthly immortality, Bingpo is still willing to follow Gao Xuan at all times. As long as she is by Gao Xuan's side, she is extremely satisfied. However, she will not show all her emotions like Lianyi.
Bingpo is much more mature than Lun Chan. When she saw Gao Xuan set up the banquet, she knew that something big was going to happen today.
Bingpo also became more cautious in her heart. Although the master was strong, he was not invincible. She and Lianyi had already achieved earthly immortality, so they should help the master share his worries.
As soon as Bingpo thought of this, he felt a sense of connection in his heart.
She looked up, her eyes penetrating the dome of the main hall of Qianqiu Palace, and saw a golden auspicious cloud flying towards her in the distant sky.
There are three people on the golden auspicious cloud. Except for the little deer monster, the other two monks are both earth immortal-level powerful ones.
But why does that female monk look so familiar
Jin Xiang's cultivation level improved greatly, his power returned to its original state, and his appearance changed to that of an ordinary girl. Even his golden skin became white and smooth, completely different from his original image.
The most important thing is that her original Vajra appearance was revealed, but now all her energy and spirit were restrained, and the whole person looked gentle and docile, without any trace of the Vajra's hardness and tyranny.
Bingpo's perspective changed after he was promoted to Earth Immortal. Although Jinxiang had undergone tremendous changes in both appearance and spirit, she still noticed something was wrong.
However, for a moment she couldn't recognize who Jin Xiang was.
Lianyi also saw Jin Xiang and Yuan Xiang on the golden auspicious cloud. She blinked in surprise and said, "I don't know why, but I feel like that young monk looks familiar to me."
Gao Xuan also saw Jin Xiang, and he was a little surprised. This person's cultivation had greatly improved, but his appearance became more and more ordinary. It seemed that he had reached the state of returning to nature.
From this point of view, Jin Xiang should have reached the pinnacle of cultivation in this realm.
There must be an upper limit to one's cultivation level in the Yuantian Realm. If there was no upper limit, those top earthly immortals would definitely expand their territory madly and search for spiritual energy.
Just because they can't improve no matter how hard they practice, the strongest people act so calm and indifferent.
Gao Xuan was not surprised at Jin Xiang's progress. This female monk had killed many people in the southern wilderness and obtained a huge amount of spiritual energy and many rare treasures.
The most important thing is that she has an extremely strong foundation, and with the support of resources, she can immediately break through the bottleneck.
Judging from Gao Xuan's perspective, Jin Xiang has at least reached the pinnacle of this realm in terms of pure power.
Although Shi Ku, Di Yuan Dao Jun, and Yuan Qing Lian are extremely powerful, they are definitely not as good as Jin Xiang in terms of pure strength.
Only by cultivating the innate Hunyuan Taoist body could he compete with Jin Xiang in terms of pure strength.
However, he has the Wujian Tianlong Claw, so he is not afraid of fighting Jin Xiang head-on.
The golden auspicious cloud was moving at an extremely fast speed and arrived at Qianqiu Palace in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Xiang brought Jin Xiang and the seven-colored deer demon to the main hall. Before he could say anything, the nine-headed bird came forward and greeted him: "Master Yuan Xiang, Master Jin Xiang, please come in. My Taoist has been waiting for you for a long time..."
Yuan Xiang's old face was expressionless, and he nodded calmly. However, his heart was in turmoil: "What's going on? How did Gao Xuan know they were coming? How did he know their names? The situation doesn't seem good..."
