The woman in green was Yuan Qinglian. After receiving the warning from her disciple, she immediately went to the chess tower.
Yuan Qinglian was a little confused at first. Who would dare to bully her apprentice in Sihai City
When he arrived at the thirteenth floor of the chess building, Yuan Qinglian discovered that his new disciple Yue Honglian was in a trance, his sword intent was shaken, and his sword skills foundation was about to be severely damaged.
This wasn't an injury caused by external forces, but it was just that the consecutive defeats in the beast chess game had dealt a heavy blow to his spirit and edge, which gave rise to a mental demon.
In the long run, this is not a bad thing.
Yuan Qinglian passed on a sword intent to Yue Honglian, which was enough for her to break through her inner demons. After she honed her skills a little, her cultivation could be further improved.
However, not everyone can teach her disciples.
The old man in black was Xiankong Patriarch, and the tall and strong man was Tianshi, both of them were the strongest in the Eight Desolations. Almost all the people present were Demon Kings of the Eight Desolations.
In other words, everyone sitting here is an earthly immortal.
These demon kings who ran out of their own territory should not be underestimated. Especially when so many demon kings gathered together, they were a very powerful force.
It was because Di Yuan Dao Jun had a broad mind and extraordinary generosity that he could accommodate so many demon kings.
Although Yuan Qinglian looked down on these demon kings, he would not allow them to appear in the territory of the Qinglian Sword Sect.
Yuan Qinglian also knew why these guys came to Sihai City. They all came to seek refuge!
It's ridiculous to say that this group of demon kings who dominated the world were forced by a Gao Xuan to abandon their homes and careers and run to Sihai City to settle down.
Yuan Qinglian had heard of the name Gao Xuan a long time ago. The first time was when White Ape came to her to cry and complain. She didn't care.
In her eyes, the White Ape was just an interesting monkey. How could she, a person of such stature, pick a fight with someone just for a monkey
After listening to what Mr. White Ape said about Gao Xuan, Yuan Qinglian actually admired this human cultivator.
This is how human cultivators should be. There is no need to be polite to monsters, demons, and other alien creatures.
Another thousand years passed, and Yuan Qinglian heard about Gao Xuan's reputation from the Bodhisattva of Ten Sufferings.
Although the Bodhisattva of Ten Sufferings seemed to have mentioned it casually, he pointed out that Gao Xuan was extremely dangerous and reminded Yuan Qinglian to be careful.
Yuan Qinglian was very unconvinced at the time and really wanted to pick up her sword and go to Gao Xuan to test it. But she hated the Ten Bitterness in her heart, and after returning home and calming down, she didn't want to go.
The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva couldn't do anything to Gao Xuan, so he wanted to use her as a sword. It was a good idea, but she just didn't want to go.
Gao Xuan hadn't provoked her, so why should she mind her business? The Eight Wastelands were full of demons and monsters, so Gao Xuan could do whatever he wanted. As long as he didn't enter Zhongzhou and didn't kill any human cultivators, she didn't need to care about Gao Xuan.
Another two thousand years passed, and more and more news about Gao Xuan came out.
Many people are saying that Gao Xuan has unified the Eight Wastelands and become the overlord of the Eight Wastelands. Hundreds of demon kings have either been killed by Gao Xuan or escaped from the Eight Wastelands.
After multiple confirmations, Yuan Qinglian confirmed that the news was indeed true. She also did not expect that Gao Xuan could really dominate the world.
You have to know that there are hundreds of Demon Kings in the Eight Wildernesses. Even if the rumors are discounted by half, Gao Xuan's methods were really vicious when he killed two or three hundred Earth Immortal-level Demon Kings.
Although she would fight at the slightest disagreement, she had only killed a few dozen earthly immortals in the Yuantian Realm. Compared with Gao Xuan, she was far behind.
Although Yuan Qinglian had never met Gao Xuan, she already regarded Gao Xuan as an equally powerful person in her heart.
What Yuan Qinglian didn't expect was that the demon Ancestor Xiankong dared to instigate her to find Gao Xuan in person.
You are just a demon, how outrageous!
Whether she looks for Gao Xuan or not, whether she takes action or not, is up to her to decide. When will it be her turn for a demon to put a big hat on her
Yuan Qinglian glanced coldly at Ancestor Xiankong, and a blue lotus bloomed in her eyes and then disappeared.
Patriarch Xiankong originally wanted to take the opportunity to persuade him, but a blue lotus had already blossomed on his soul.
The blue lotus was beautiful and bright, yet it was also pure and untainted by dust. The soul of Ancestor Xiankong, who had cultivated for millions of years, suddenly shook, and was about to bloom along with the blue lotus.
Ancestor Xiankong was horrified. He quickly activated the Nine Transformations of Xuankong, and his soul changed from solid to empty, from empty to virtual, and from virtual to solid...
This cycle repeats endlessly, with the soul constantly changing between the three states of emptiness and reality to dissipate the power of the Green Lotus.
After an unknown amount of time, the green lotus was finally destroyed by his Xuankong Nine Changes.
The spiritual power of Ancestor Xiankong was depleted by at least 20%. Unconsciously, he was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his eyes were directly exploded by the sword intent.
Yuan Qinglian said nothing, but released a green lotus sword intent that almost killed Ancestor Xiankong.
Ancestor Xiankong sighed in his heart. He really thought too much. Provoking Yuan Qinglian to kill Gao Xuan was a good idea, but the reality was cruel.
Yuan Qinglian was such a powerful person that his life would be in danger if he said a word to her. It was even more of a dream to want to instigate her to stand up for them.
Fortunately, Yuan Qinglian did not intend to kill them all.
Yuan Qinglian only gave a light punishment to teach the other party a lesson.
Yuan Qinglian saw the miserable appearance of Xiankong Patriarch and snorted softly. He was so incompetent that it was no wonder that Gao Xuan beat him to a pulp. What a bunch of rubbish.
She was too impatient to get entangled with these monsters, so she waved her whisk and disappeared instantly with Yue Honglian and Li Xiulian.
Only after Yuan Qinglian left did the group of big demons on the 13th floor breathe a sigh of relief.
Although they all knew the name Yuan Qinglian, it was almost the first time they saw him.
As expected, the first swordsman is even better than he is in the first place. He has a bad temper. He will fight if he is not happy.
Ancestor Xiankong was also the strongest person in the Eight Desolations, and he was seriously injured in one move. It can be seen that Yuan Qinglian still held back and had no intention of killing Ancestor Xiankong.
"How are you?" Tianshi asked beside him.
Ancestor Xiankong smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, I am not dead."
As he spoke, he activated the Nine Changes of the Mysterious Sky, and the shattered eye quickly regenerated. As a top-level demon, the damage to his flesh was not worth mentioning.
The trouble is the sword wound on my soul, and I don’t know how long it will take to heal.
Tianshi sighed: "This guy has a bad temper."
The many demon kings standing by nodded repeatedly, all with lingering fear on their faces.
Many demon kings were kings in their own territories, and had never encountered such a situation. But no one dared to lose their temper at this moment.
The demon kings knew very well that they were like phoenixes that had lost their feathers, no better than chickens. Leaving their own treasure land, they lost 60% to 70% of their strength. Even ordinary earth immortals might not be able to defeat them, let alone a peerless powerhouse like Yuan Qinglian.
A charming woman said with hatred: "Can we just put up with this?"
This woman was wearing a black long skirt, but if you look closely, you will find that the skirt is colorful. She was the Northern Wilderness Demon King Bashe. She was also an ancient alien species, born with the power to devour everything.
Among the Eight Wildernesses, Bashe is also the top demon king, and is no less powerful than Tianshi and Xiankong Ancestor.
Among the many demon kings present, Bashe, Tianshi and Xiankong Patriarch are clearly the leaders.
This group of demon kings were forced by Gao Xuan to abandon their homes and businesses and flee to Sihai City for refuge.
The demon kings felt sympathy for each other and sat in the chess tower all day, cursing Gao Xuan like nagging women.
Apart from this, they really have no other choice.
Today, Yue Honglian came over to play chess. Everyone had sharp eyes. As soon as they saw the cold and chilly sword intent on her body, they guessed her background.
Originally no one wanted to cause trouble, but Yue Honglian kept provoking him, so Tianshi had some ideas.
In the end, Yuan Qinglian was lured over, but the ending was not very good.
After Yuan Qinglian left, Bashe finally couldn't help but speak out. She said, "If we really work together, who can we be afraid of?"
Tianshi looked at Bashe deeply and said, "Why, do you want to take us to find Gao Xuan?"
The snake stared at the corpse and said, "You look so timid, it's really ridiculous."
After the Ghost Emperor was swept away by Gao Xuan, there was no Demon King in the Eight Desolations who could compete with Gao Xuan.
Of course, most demon kings are stupid and unwilling to leave their own treasure land. Even if they know the danger, they still hope for the best.
The many demon kings present were smart and alert. When they realized something was wrong, they immediately used some of their spiritual energy to escape.
In fact, the demon kings including Tianshi, Xiankong Patriarch, and Bashe have never met Gao Xuan.
Of course, they all knew that there was a huge gap between them and Gao Xuan, so they gave up all hope.
When Bashe arrived at Sihai City, she found that most of the Eight Desolate Demon Kings gathered there, and she began to have some ideas. These days, she has been encouraging many Demon Kings to join forces to fight back.
But no one responded to this proposal. Everyone was a demon king, and no one wanted to be a pawn for others. Even if they were organized, they were still a loose group. How could they be qualified to challenge Gao Xuan
Today, Yuan Qinglian injured the old ancestor Xiankong, which aroused the anger of many demon kings. Bashe keenly caught the change in the atmosphere and immediately stood up to bring up the old matter again.
The snake said to the demon kings: "No matter how powerful Gao Xuan is, he is only one person. He has only three or five earthly immortals under his command. We don't need anyone to lead the charge. As long as we rush forward together, he can't defeat us even if he has three heads and six arms!"
This made sense, and the demon kings were all a little tempted. None of them wanted to go to Sihai City to retire, which looked comfortable, but meant living under someone else's roof.
Seeing that everyone was interested, Bashe became more excited: "We are the great demon kings, born powerful, and have never suffered such humiliation. If you are willing to work together, I can be the vanguard!"
With these words, many demon kings were even more tempted. Many demon kings looked at Ancestor Xiankong and the Heavenly Corpse.
If these two strongest men are willing to take the lead, there is no need to worry about not achieving great things.
The Sky Corpse sneered and said, "You have seen how powerful Yuan Qinglian was just now. We cannot reach the level of such a powerful person. If you want to die, just go ahead. I will never go."
Many demon kings were somewhat surprised and disappointed.
The Heavenly Corpse achieved enlightenment through its corpse, and its flesh body is immortal. In terms of combat power, it is actually higher than the Bashe and Xiankong Patriarch.
However, this person was unwilling to even try, and many demon kings were disappointed and couldn't help but look down on him.
Ancestor Xiankong saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he stood up and said, "Everyone, we don't even know Gao Xuan's true strength, so we need to think about this matter carefully."
Bashe said unhappily: "How can we make long-term plans? We have been in Sihai City for hundreds of years...
"What's the point of sitting in the chess room and planning?"
Patriarch Xiankong smiled at Bashe and said, "Be patient. This time, the Taoist Master Diyuan is convening the Sanyuan Dharma Assembly, and all the cultivators in Zhongzhou have gathered. This is our chance."
"what chance?"
Bashe was puzzled. After all, she was born in the Eight Desolations and didn't know much about the cultivators in Zhongzhou. At most, she knew the names of powerful people such as Diyuan Daojun and Yuan Qinglian.
Patriarch Xiankong said: "I heard that Gao Xuan and the Bodhisattva of Ten Sufferings also had a feud. I also privately asked someone to confirm it, and it is true."
Bashe asked doubtfully, "Is Shiku willing to help us?"
"Shi Ku is a cunning old man, so he won't help us. However, Shi Ku must hate Gao Xuan, so this is our chance."
Patriarch Xiankong knew that Bashe still didn't understand, so he continued to explain: "During the Sanyuan Dharma Assembly, all the top cultivators in Zhongzhou will gather. They will review the major events in the world and make corresponding adjustments accordingly."
"Then?" Bashe still didn't quite understand what this had to do with them.
Patriarch Xiankong said again: "Shiku spoke for us at the Sanyuan Dharma Assembly, saying that Gao Xuan's domination of the Eight Wastelands was only the first step. He wanted to dominate the Yuantian Realm. He was a huge threat to Zhongzhou.
"When that time comes, I can bring people over to cry and ask Di Yuan Dao Jun to make the decision for us."
Bashe was skeptical: "Will Diyuan Daojun help us in this way?"
"At least you can try."
Patriarch Xiankong smiled and said, "Diyuan Daojun considers himself the best in the world. He can ignore the great changes in the Eight Desolate Lands, but he cannot allow Gao Xuan to disrupt Zhongzhou. If he feels that Gao Xuan is a threat, he will definitely take action to subdue Gao Xuan."
Bashe was incredulous: "Is that all?"
"We will never understand the thoughts of a person like Diyuan Daojun."
Patriarch Xiankong said: "Maybe it works, maybe not. What if it works?"
Tianshi said to Bashe, "Don't bother. With your skills, going to Gao Xuan is just courting death."
Bashe was unconvinced: "Tianshi, if you are not convinced, we can give it a try."
Tianshi spread his hands and said, "I surrender to you. What's the point of you beating me? Gao Xuan and I are too far apart."
Having said that, Bashe couldn't lose his temper anymore.
"The Taoist Master Di Yuan is magnanimous, humble on the outside but strong on the inside. The Bodhisattva of Ten Sufferings is patient and deep, gentle on the outside but ruthless on the inside. Yuan Qinglian has a clear sword heart and acts as sharp as a sword."
Patriarch Xiankong said: "In addition to these three, there are also the Blissful Demon Lord and the North Star Lord, who are all the most powerful people in the world. The Blissful Demon Lord is a celestial demon, and he has many changes. No one knows what he really looks like.
"North Star Lord is the head of the Heavenly Court in this world. Even if his cultivation is a little bit weaker, he has the support of the Heavenly Court. Even someone as strong as Yuan Qinglian would not mess with him..."
Many demon kings listened with their ears pricked up. They had all heard of these names, but knew nothing about the specific circumstances.
Ancestor Xiankong analyzed these extremely powerful ones one by one. Many Demon Kings felt that their eyes were opened and they had a deeper understanding of these powerful ones.
Patriarch Xiankong said, "It is said that Gao Xuan was born in the Heavenly Palace. I also dealt with the Lord of the North Pole Star in my early years. We can barely call him a friend. The Lord of the North Pole Star will also come this time. I will visit him and ask him to help us with our affairs..."
Many demon kings were very excited. After hearing what Ancestor Xiankong said, they felt that things were actually very promising.
Patriarch Xiankong changed the subject and said, "However, you can't visit a friend empty-handed. This matter concerns your future, so please don't hesitate to help..."
The expressions of many demon kings were a little strange. It turned out that after Ancestor Xiankong said so much, he just wanted to fleece them.
However, what Xiankong Patriarch said also made sense. No one does things in vain.
Many demon kings have dominated their respective regions for millions of years, and have plundered countless rare treasures. It is acceptable for them to bleed a little.
The Sky Corpse took the lead and took out a piece of five-colored stone, which was said to be a fragment of the ancient Heaven-Repairing Stone. Although it was unknown whether it was real or not, it was extremely aura-filled and extraordinary.
With someone taking the lead, other demon kings also donated generously.
Although Bashe felt that something was wrong, he could only take out the Purple Leaf Heavenly Ginseng and throw it to Ancestor Xiankong.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that Patriarch Xiankong dared to confront Yuan Qinglian and asked Yuan Qinglian to get rid of Gao Xuan was worthy of the trust of many demon kings.
Ancestor Xiankong collected these treasures and immediately took the celestial corpse to the Tianxing Palace to visit the North Star Lord.
Tianxing Palace is the palace of the North Star General in Sihai City, and a large number of people from the Heavenly Court are stationed here.
Sihai City is the trading center of Zhongzhou. Of course, Tianting also needs to do business and make money.
Moreover, because of the Heavenly Court, the taxes paid by the Tianxing Palace were very low. It was also because the Earthly Dao Lord gave face to the North Star Lord.
When Ancestor Xiankong and Tianshi arrived at the main gate of Tianxing Palace, waiters were already waiting for them.
The two strong men followed the waiter into the back hall of Tianxing Palace and met the Lord of the North Star.
The Lord of the North Star had a handsome face, eyes as bright as the morning stars. He was dressed in a dark blue robe, like the deep starry sky. He wore a blue-gold crown on his head, looking quite majestic.
Upon seeing the arrival of Tianshi and Xiankong Patriarch, Lord Beijixing stepped down to greet them and was quite polite.
Ancestor Xiankong did not dare to be arrogant and greeted him respectfully.
Tianshi and Polaris Lord had also seen it and followed suit to pay their respects.
The Lord of the North Star bowed in return and invited the two to take a seat. A maid served them fragrant tea.
"It's been hundreds of thousands of years since we last met. Are you two here to attend the Sanyuan Dharma Assembly?"
Polaris had only met these two a few times, and could barely be called friends. He had guessed the purpose of their sudden visit.
However, he would not take the initiative to talk about Gao Xuan's affairs.
"I'm so ashamed, Mr. Xing. We are all homeless now. I'm here to ask you to help us..."
Ancestor Xiankong did not hide anything and made it clear right away.
Lord Polaris showed a surprised expression: "My two Taoist friends, where did you get this from?"
"There is a demon named Gao Xuan in the Eight Desolations. I wonder if the Star Lord has heard of him?"
Patriarch Xiankong couldn't help but grit his teeth when talking about Gao Xuan. Although it was a bit artificial, it was also sincere.
"Gao Xuan is extremely brutal and cruel. He killed hundreds of fellow Taoists in the Eight Wastelands and used all of their blood, spirit and soul to refine magical weapons. He is extremely powerful. Now he has occupied the Eight Wastelands. I think he is very ambitious. Once he refines a unique weapon, he will definitely invade Zhongzhou..."
In order to persuade the Lord of the North Star to help, Ancestor Xiankong tried his best to exaggerate Gao Xuan's cruelty and viciousness.
In fact, he didn't know why Gao Xuan expanded so madly, and how he dealt with those demon kings. Anyway, it's not wrong to say this!
Lord Polaris frowned slightly. Of course he had heard of Gao Xuan's reputation, and he also knew that Gao Xuan now dominated the world.
However, he did not know the details. After all, the Eight Wastelands was too far away, so far that he had no interest in paying attention.
On the other hand, Gao Xuan's rise was too fast. A few thousand years was just like a few days for an ordinary person.
The life span of earthly immortals is calculated in epochs. With such a long life, their pace in handling things is also very slow.
During this Sanyuan Dharma Assembly, Lord of the North Star originally planned to discuss profound issues with Lord of the Earth and others.
Ancestor Xiankong and his men came to the door on their own initiative and described Gao Xuan as so cruel, which also surprised Lord Beijixing.
Of course, we cannot trust everything that Patriarch Xiankong and the others say.
The problem is that Gao Xuan occupied such a vast world and killed so many demon kings, he must have his own plans.
Marching into Zhongzhou may not be true, but we cannot help but be on guard.
Patriarch Xiankong added: "I also heard a rumor that Gao Xuan ascended from the lower world. It is said that he was once a celestial master in heaven, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
He added with concern: "If Gao Xuan is really the Heavenly Master, but he doesn't come to report to the Star Lord, this is clearly a sinister intention..."
"There is such a thing?"
Lord Polaris was somewhat puzzled. The Heavenly Court organizations were scattered throughout the Nine Heavens. Although they nominally controlled the Nine Heavens, in reality, the Heavenly Court organizations in the lower three realms were left alone. No one cared about them at all.
Only in the middle three realms did the organization of heaven become strict.
If Gao Xuan wanted to ascend from the lower realm, he should have asked the Heavenly Court for permission first, and after approval, Heavenly Court would send someone to take him in. How could he ascend on his own
This is not in line with the procedures and is very dangerous. Since you have joined the Heavenly Court, you want to use the power of the Heavenly Court.
However, when one's cultivation reaches Gao Xuan's level, it cannot be judged by common sense.
Mr. Polaris said, “I need to check this matter.”
Patriarch Xiankong explained clearly and finally presented some precious gifts.
As the Lord of Heaven in this world, Lord Polaris had seen all kinds of good things. He didn't care much about it. It was just that this gift represented the other party's thoughts, so he gladly accepted it.
After sending away Old Ancestor Xiankong and the Heavenly Corpse, Lord Beijixing called his subordinates to find out about Gao Xuan's situation.
All the people in the Heavenly Court would keep records. As long as Gao Xuan had joined the Heavenly Court, his situation would always be traced.
Not long after, the subordinates brought a jade slip.
When Lord Polaris opened the jade slip, he saw that the records inside were exactly the files that Gao Xuan had left in Heaven.
The jade slip contains not only text but also images and even a trace of Gao Xuan's spiritual aura left behind.
After reading the jade slip, Lord Polaris also fell into deep thought. Judging from the jade slip, Gao Xuan was indeed a man of extraordinary grace, which was consistent with the characteristics of Gao Xuan in the rumors.
According to records, Gao Xuan ascended from the human world thousands of years ago. He was given a position as a ninth-rank heavenly master in the heavenly court, and was then sent to the Qingtian realm.
After Gao Xuan took office, he sent a letter to the Heavenly Court, and there has been no news since then.
For the bloated and huge Heavenly Court, no one cared about a small pawn like Gao Xuan. No one cared about Gao Xuan's disappearance.
As a result, thousands of years later, Gao Xuan fled to the Yuantian Realm and became the overlord.
Lord Polaris thought about it for a long time and always felt that there was something wrong with Gao Xuan.
He took out six Qianyuan coins and threw them on the table to make a divination, but the result was that all six coins stood upright on the table.
This Gao Xuan is actually unpredictable
Lord of the North Star had a serious look on his face, his innate divination skills were connected to the power of billions of stars in the nine heavens, even an immortal could calculate two or three points of it.
Why is it that when it comes to Gao Xuan, he can’t figure out anything
At this time, the Lord of the North Star suddenly had a feeling. He looked up and saw that the Purple Star in the sky suddenly shone brightly.
The Lord of the North Star suddenly realized that this person also ruled the Purple Star, which made it difficult to calculate.
To be honest, although he is known as the Lord of the North Star, his destiny star is Tianxuan, which is the first star lord under the Purple Star.
There are billions of cultivators in the Nine Heavens, and there are always creatures who are born to be in harmony with the Purple Star and turn it into their destiny star.
However, there is only one true owner of Ziwei Star.
Ziwei Star can allow small fish and shrimp to temporarily store their souls, but it will not allow powerful earthly immortals to coexist with it.
Ziweixing itself certainly has no consciousness, but the problem is that there is a Ziweixing Emperor in the Heavenly Court. How can he allow Gao Xuan and Ziweixing to coexist
There are rumors that something strange has happened above the Nine Heavens, and something has happened to the Four Emperors of Heaven. The three Buddhas of the Buddhist Court and the three Taoists have also gone into seclusion together.
Lord Polaris had heard such rumors a long time ago, but due to his low status in the Heavenly Court, he was not qualified to participate in such an event.
Even the immortals in the three upper realms probably don’t know the truth of the matter.
He is so far away, how can he know the truth
However, if Gao Xuan is the Lord of Ziwei Star, it would be an opportunity!
Killing Gao Xuan and taking the life star to inherit the Purple Star would be enough for him to become a celestial being! Even going one step further is not impossible...
Thinking of this, the North Star Lord's eyes were shining with divine light, and his ambition continued to grow, and he could no longer suppress it...
