The breeze is gentle and the bed curtains are swaying slowly.
Gao Xuan slowly woke up from a deep and sweet sleep. He opened his eyes, stared at the gently swaying exquisitely embroidered dragon and phoenix bed curtains for a while, then got up.
The Peacock King next to her was sleeping soundly, with a hint of residual joy still on her face. Her graceful and curvaceous figure seemed like a sculpture of the finest white jade, and had the unique vitality of life.
After a deep and extreme intercourse of yin and yang, the Peacock King was helped to open up the upward path of cultivation.
Especially the intercourse of souls and spirits. The pure yin soul that Peacock King had cultivated for millions of years obtained the spirituality of the pure yang soul, which enabled her soul to undergo a qualitative change and improvement.
In addition, the Five Elements taught by Gao Xuan laid a solid foundation for the Peacock King.
In time, Peacock King, with the Eight Desolations as his foundation, will surely become a top powerhouse comparable to Yuan Qinglian.
From this intercourse, the Peacock King gained enormous benefits.
Gao Xuan was of course also very happy. Moreover, he had been accumulating strength for too long, like a bow that had been kept taut. This release allowed him to adjust his spiritual state.
For Gao Xuan, this adjustment is more valuable than the progress of cultivation. It is an adjustment in state, which allows him to relax from the tense state.
Since entering the Yuantian Realm, although Gao Xuan has always appeared calm, he is actually very anxious in his heart. He has been accelerating his cultivation and making continuous progress.
Even though he had cultivated the innate Hunyuan Taoist body, he could not escape this urgent state.
It was not until he had achieved harmony of yin and yang with the Peacock King that he was able to relax and truly let go of the urgency in his heart.
Gao Xuan got up and went to the bathing palace next door. Served by many maids, he took a bath in the thousand-year-old stalactites. Finally, he changed into his Huangquan robe and put on a moon-white gauze dress.
After conquering the Eight Wastelands, Gao Xuan also re-refined the Huangquan Robe, mainly to strengthen the Huangquan Robe's immortality.
After cultivating the innate primordial body, his body was stronger than any defensive magic weapon. He also had the Five Elements Formless Divine Light protecting his body. He did not need any other protective magic weapon.
The best thing about the Huangquan robe is that it cannot be broken. This is because the Huangquan robe itself is not a real substance, but a special magic weapon that can block all external induction.
Just like the water of the Yellow Spring, it is actually a very yin and filthy thing. It was just refined by the old turtle, and this extremely yin and filthy power would not spread outward, nor would it really break.
The Yellow Spring Robe can be seen as a special dark yellow shadow that can block the thoughts and gazes of earthly immortals.
Gao Xuan re-refined it to strengthen the shielding law characteristics of the Huangquan robe. This can better shield it from external forces.
For Gao Xuan, this Huangquan robe is enough. There is no need to add other changes.
Gao Xuan packed up everything and set off with Lianyi and Bingpo.
Sihai City is very far away. There is a small magic circle on the invitation, through which the location of Sihai City can be accurately locked.
With the guidance of this magic circle, reaching Sihai City couldn't be easier.
Gao Xuan flicked his long sleeves, and the next moment they arrived outside the Sihai city gate.
There is a large formation protecting Sihai City, so outsiders cannot come in directly. Even if you are a powerful earth immortal, you have to go through the city gate to enter and exit Sihai City.
People passing through the Sihai City Gate formed a long queue, and Lianyi went up to show the invitation to the soldier guarding the gate.
The soldier was shocked to see that the invitation was signed by Di Yuan Dao Jun. Those who could get this invitation were all powerful earth immortals.
Gao Xuan was accompanied by two maids. For an earthly immortal, this look was a bit shabby.
However, Gao Xuan's demeanor is pure and noble, while Lianyi and Bingpo are one smart and the other cold, both of them are extraordinary at first glance.
The soldiers did not dare to delay and hurriedly opened the main gate, leading Gao Xuan and the others in through the main gate.
"Wow, it's so lively."
Lianyi had never seen so many races gathered together since she was born. After entering the city, she was amazed and quite excited.
On the long streets of Sihai City, there were ape monsters several feet tall, rat monsters several inches small, eagle monsters and swallow girls flying all over the sky, tree monsters working as coolies pulling carts, and fox spirits hawking goods along the street, shaking their furry tails, looking flirtatious and seductive...
It is a very rare scene to see so many monsters gathered together in a lively and harmonious atmosphere.
There are many monsters in the Eight Desolations, but they are all rude and aggressive. If a group of monsters gather together, they will definitely fight to the death.
Sihai City is home to thousands of races, but there is a prosperous, friendly and lively atmosphere, which embodies order and civilization. This is something that the demons of the Eight Desolations cannot compare to.
Lianyi didn't need to analyze it so much. As a spiritual life reincarnated from the sword, she naturally liked order and civilization and hated chaos and destruction.
When she arrived in Sihai City, she felt happy instinctively.
Bingpo doesn't care about these things. She won't destroy them intentionally, but she also doesn't care about all living things.
To Bingpo, only Gao Xuan and Lianyi were the most important. All other creatures were not worth mentioning and did not need to be cared about.
Gao Xuan was also somewhat surprised by the bustle and prosperity of Sihai City. Such a civilized atmosphere required strong order and constraints.
There are countless demon cultivators in the Yuantian Realm, and powerful creatures all have strong individual wills. To restrain these creatures with order and to maintain this restraint stably for a long time requires extremely strong strength.
Di Yuan Dao Jun is worthy of being called the strongest man in the world. Just look at the prosperity of Si Hai City and you will know that he does not get the title in vain.
Gao Xuan and his two companions had extraordinary demeanors, which naturally attracted many enthusiastic greetings from merchants.
Especially these beautiful fox girls and rabbit girls, they all enthusiastically surrounded Gao Xuan to solicit business.
These fox girls, bunny girls, and cat girls all wear cool clothes, have sexy bodies, warm attitudes, and speak sweetly. Each of them is like half-melted toffee, which is hard to get rid of once you get it on.
"Master Dao, our inn is the cleanest and most tidy, with considerate service. You can get a 30% discount for your first stay..."
"Master Dao, our pharmacy has all kinds of magical medicines, including the 100,000-year-old ginseng king. No matter what you want to buy, we have it in stock."
"Spiritual tools, spiritual objects, ancient secret books, everything..."
"Master, do you want to practice the Great Joy Secret? We have beautiful masters to practice with you. There are all kinds of races, as well as handsome men and strong men. We have everything you need..."
Lianyi was in a good mood. Although she didn't like these little banshees who were sticking to her, she just pushed them away with a light push.
The little banshees were reluctant to leave. They buzzed around Gao Xuan like flies that smelled blood and refused to leave.
"I gave you face, get out of here."
Lianyi was getting a little impatient and gave a low shout. Although she didn't really activate her sword power, the group of little demons couldn't withstand it.
The banshees all turned pale in an instant and scattered in panic.
Private fighting is prohibited in Sihai City, but the strong always have various privileges. If the weak do not know the current situation, they will die without knowing how.
The banshees were also well-informed. As soon as they saw Lian Yi getting angry, they knew that he was too powerful and not someone they could afford to mess with.
Being harassed by a group of witches also made Lianyi lose interest in wandering around. She pulled Gao Xuan's sleeve and said, "Master, this place is so vulgar and boring, let's find a place to live first?"
Before Gao Xuan could speak, a beautiful young female Taoist priest came over. She was wearing a dark yellow Taoist robe, which looked similar in color to Gao Xuan's.
The female Taoist bowed her head and saluted: "Yu Ning, a disciple of Di Yuan Dao Jun, greets Dao Jun Gao."
Gao Xuan glanced at the female Taoist priest, who was beautiful and dignified, full of the vitality of a young girl, and had a pure and clear aura.
For a strong person at the level of Earthly Immortal, appearance and figure are just external appearances. Earthly Immortals look at the spirits and souls of living beings. Only the aura of the spirits and souls cannot be disguised.
The Taoist woman in front of me looks really young, and her actual age cannot be more than a hundred years old.
For ordinary people, this age is considered old. However, for powerful cultivators, it is just the beginning of their cultivation.
Therefore, this female Taoist priest is full of real vitality. This is also the most favorite aura of the earthly immortals.
This Taoist Yu Ning has also reached the top level of human immortals, and is only one step away from becoming an earthly immortal.
Such talent is top-notch in the Nine Heavens. Without a doubt, this person must be the favorite disciple of the Earthly Taoist Master.
Gao Xuan nodded slightly but didn't say anything.
No matter how talented the other party was, he was still far behind him. There was no need to be too polite to Taoist Yuning.
Taoist Yu Ning also thought it was natural. If Gao Xuan was polite to her, she would feel uneasy.
"My master knew that Master Gao was coming, so he specially ordered me to come and greet him."
Taoist Yuning said: "If the Taoist has no special arrangements, please follow me to Tongtian Garden."
She further explained: "Most of the VIPs live in Tongtianyuan."
Gao Xuan nodded: "Yes."
Taoist Yu Ning bowed respectfully and led the way. She sent forth a cloud of auspiciousness to carry Gao Xuan and the others straight to Tongtian Garden.
The so-called Tongtian Garden is actually located on Tongtian Peak outside Sihai City.
There is a Diyuan Taoist Palace built on Tongtian Peak. Although the palace is huge, only internal disciples can enter it.
According to convention, the Sanyuan Dharma Assembly is held in the Taiyi Hall of the Diyuan Taoist Palace.
Tongtian Garden is actually a part of Diyuan Dao Palace, which is only used to entertain distinguished guests and to facilitate them to participate in the Sanyuan Dharma Assembly.
The Sanyuan Dharma Assembly is held once every 30,000 years and is also the first Dharma Assembly in the Yuantian Realm. It is extremely grand in scale.
Since Di Yuan Dao Jun attained enlightenment, he has been presiding over the San Yuan Dharma Assembly. It was because he won the first place in the discussion of the Dao in the first ten Dharma Assemblies that he was given the title of the best in the world.
From then on, Di Yuan Dao Jun never participated in the discussion again. However, there were always many earth immortals who were not convinced and wanted to compete with Di Yuan Dao Jun.
Diyuan Daojun accepts everyone who comes and has never been defeated.
After millions of years, the title of Diyuan Daojun as the best in the world has been recognized by all cultivators.
As proud as Yuan Qinglian was, although she didn't think that Di Yuan Dao Jun was better than her, she had to admit that she couldn't beat Di Yuan Dao Jun. Even though this title of the best in the world was a bit forced, it wasn't an exaggeration.
The Sanyuan Dharma Assembly presided over by Diyuan Taoist Lord also became more and more prosperous.
After being held for so many sessions, the Sanyuan Dharma Assembly has naturally formed many rules and traditions, and has a fixed ritual procedure.
There are clear regulations on how to entertain VIPs like Gao Xuan.
However, Taoist Yu Ning was personally appointed by Taoist Di Yuan to receive Gao Xuan.
Taoist Yuning has been a disciple for only a hundred years, and is deeply loved by Taoist Diyuan. Although his cultivation is not enough, he is enough to represent Taoist Diyuan.
Taoist Diyuan asked Taoist Yuning to receive Gao Xuan, which was also a kind of training.
After all, there are only a handful of strong men like Gao Xuan in the Yuantian Realm. Gao Xuan's feat of sweeping across the eight wastelands is unprecedented.
There are many demon kings in the Eight Desolations, and the situation is complicated. Although Di Yuan Dao Jun is confident that he can sweep across the Eight Desolations, he will not do so.
Taoist Diyuan believes in the law of nature, and the desolate land like the Eight Wildernesses was originally prepared for demons and monsters.
Zhongzhou is vast, enough to accommodate countless human cultivators. There is no need to compete with demons and monsters for space.
On the other hand, the existence of demons and ghosts is a natural law. There is no need to kill them all.
However, Diyuan Daojun would not think that Gao Xuan was wrong to do so.
Killing itself is a part of nature. Gao Xuan has the ability to cultivate and the means and mentality to do so, so it is natural for him to kill demons and monsters.
However, Gao Xuan's expansion momentum was fierce, and Shi Ku and others reminded Di Yuan Dao Jun to be careful of Gao Xuan, so Di Yuan Dao Jun took the opportunity of the San Yuan Dharma Assembly to invite Gao Xuan.
It doesn’t matter if Gao Xuan doesn’t come. At worst, he can go visit Gao Xuan after the ceremony.
No matter what, I have to meet with Gao Xuan and have a chat before deciding what to do.
As soon as Gao Xuan entered the city, Di Yuan Daojun knew about it. He was very happy about Gao Xuan's arrival. This person was willing to participate in the Dharma Assembly, which at least showed his sincerity in communication.
As we are all human cultivators, there is no need to fight to the death without any special reason.
The Yuantian Realm is so big, can’t it accommodate a few extremely powerful people
Considering this, Di Yuan Dao Jun actually had no ill will towards Gao Xuan, so he sent his favorite disciple to receive Gao Xuan.
Taoist Yu Ning didn't know about Taoist Di Yuan's subtle thoughts, but she was very willing to receive Gao Xuan.
During this period of time, Gao Xuan has become the most famous strong man in Sihai City.
Almost everyone was talking about Gao Xuan, discussing Gao Xuan's background, studying Gao Xuan's magical powers, exploring Gao Xuan's methods of doing things, and so on.
Taoist Yu Ning is still a girl at heart, and of course she is full of curiosity about Gao Xuan.
She also wanted to see who could be compared with her master.
After meeting Gao Xuan in person, Taoist Yu Ning was actually very surprised.
It is rumored that he has killed hundreds of demon kings and peerless heroes, but his demeanor is pure, elegant and noble, as bright as the moon.
Just looking at Gao Xuan's appearance, she could never have imagined that this man could be so cruel and vicious.
Hundreds of demon kings, each of them a powerful earth immortal, squatted in their own homes and did not bother anyone, but were found and killed one by one by Gao Xuan.
Taoist Yu Ning couldn't figure it out before. Are these demon kings fools? After so many were killed, why didn't they unite to resist or escape in advance
She also couldn't imagine how powerful Gao Xuan was to be able to do this.
After meeting Gao Xuan in person, Taoist Yu Ning still couldn't figure out these doubts. However, she was sure that Gao Xuan was a peerless strong man who could stand shoulder to shoulder with his master.
Apart from anything else, this demeanor is even better than that of her master.
There is no doubt that such a person can accomplish great things.
The two maids beside Gao Xuan were both beautiful and extraordinary, with unfathomable aura. They were both earthly immortals.
There are many earth immortals under the tutelage of Diyuan Taoist Lord, but disciples are different from servants after all.
It is impossible for many earthly immortals to follow the Taoist Lord Di Yuan every day. Only when something important happens will the earthly immortals return to the sect.
Even though Gao Xuan only brought two maids with him, when it comes to style, no one in the Yuantian Realm can compare to him.
Taoist Yuning's emotions were surging, but on the surface he was calm. This was also the basic training for the disciples of the Taoist Master Di Yuan.
She led Gao Xuan and the others to the Bi Bo Pavilion in Tongtian Garden. The pavilion was built next to the blue sea. Outside the window was the vast blue sea, and behind the building were planted white plum blossoms that never faded all year round.
The white plum blossoms gathered from billions of plum trees are like another sea of fragrant snow, faintly corresponding to the vast blue sea on the other side.
Bi Bo Pavilion is located between the sea of flowers and the sea. It can be said that it overlooks two seas. It is the highest-level guesthouse in Tongtian Garden.
As soon as Lianyi came in, she discovered the extraordinary beauty of the place. She was amazed and liked it very much.
The key is that when you come in, you pass through a small moon gate, and after turning this gate you will reach another world.
The azure blue sea and the sea of flowers complement each other, showing both the beauty of vastness and the splendor of flowers as colorful as snow.
This world is clearly a separate world of its own with an endlessly vast area, yet it is combined with Tongtian Garden without any disharmony.
Even a powerful earth immortal with extraordinary spiritual power like Lianyi did not realize that this was an independent world before entering.
From this we can see how ingenious and natural these magical powers are.
Gao Xuan also admired it: "It is a masterpiece of nature, and it is so natural. I really admire the cultivation of Di Yuan Daojun."
Taoist Yu Ning was very proud to receive Gao Xuan's praise. However, she remained calm and just bowed her head to thank Gao Xuan for his compliments on behalf of her master.
Taoist Yuning said softly: "There are three independent caves in Tongtian Garden. They are all blessed places that Master found in the void and moved here to entertain guests..."
"He is indeed the number one earthly immortal in the world. What a big deal."
Gao Xuan exclaimed in admiration again, it was difficult to find a blessed land in the void, let alone move the blessed land here and cleverly integrate it with this world.
The most amazing thing is that we put so much effort into finding customers.
In other words, Diyuan Daojun is just playing.
Although Gao Xuan thought that his cultivation was better than that of Di Yuan Dao Jun, his method of controlling the heaven and earth was obviously inferior to that of Di Yuan Dao Jun.
In fact, turning the universe upside down is also a celestial-level spell. Unfortunately, he lacks talent in this area and has no time to specialize in it.
After all, his time of cultivation was too short, so short that he had no time to study these minor magical powers.
Gao Xuan also knew that this was the gap between him and the powerful earth immortals. His foundation was not deep enough.
Fortunately, he had cultivated an innate Hunyuan Taoist body, so he was not afraid of any changes in the opponent's magical powers.
Taoist Yu Ning asked Gao Xuan what he needed, and confirmed that he had no other requests before respectfully leaving.
Taoist Yuning came out of the Bi Bo Pavilion and went straight back to the Taiyi Palace.
Taiyi Hall is the main hall of Diyuan Dao Palace. Its doors are usually closed and never open. Only on important days will Taiyi Hall open its doors.
Because the Sanyuan Dharma Assembly is approaching, Diyuan Daojun is in charge of the Taiyi Temple.
The dome of the hall is supported by eight golden dragons, and the purple dome is engraved with countless ancient golden celestial scrolls.
These heavenly scrolls are mysterious runes summarized by powerful people in ancient times who observed the innate changes.
In the entire Yuantian Realm, only Diyuan Daojun can understand these heavenly talismans.
The mysterious heavenly runes also give Taiyi Palace an innate aura of vastness.
When people enter the hall, it is like facing the way of heaven, and they will naturally feel their own insignificance.
Taoist Yu Ning had been to Taiyi Palace several times, but had never seen the entire palace clearly.
To her, the Taiyi Palace was too grand and vast, just like when one looks at the sky, one can only feel that the sky is boundless and cannot make a specific measurement.
The Taoist Lord Diyuan was sitting on a cushion below the altar. There was no statue above the altar, only two big characters: Taiyi.
Taiyi is the source of everything and the end of everything.
Although the three great golden immortals of Heaven, Buddha, and Daoism have returned to their original powers, they are ultimately just intelligent creatures. They cannot represent the heaven and earth, let alone the Tao.
Taoist Di Yuan holds the Book of Earth in his hand and is the master of the Yuantian Realm. He respects many Daluo Jinxians, but he does not believe in them.
For Di Yuan, Taiyi represents the Great Dao. Although Taiyi itself is just a concept, not a living being, and has no wisdom.
On the other hand, believing in Taiyi also allows disciples to know how to practice, and at least have a direction.
At the same time, it is also a declaration of one's own belief to Buddhism, Taoism, and Heaven, and a clear ties with the three major organizations.
Not only Diyuan Daojun, but Yuan Qinglian is also like this.
Powerful earth immortals of this level hardly believe in any gods. To them, the Golden Immortals are just stronger ones, worthy of respect but not worthy of belief.
As a direct disciple of Taoist Diyuan, Taoist Yuning certainly understood what Taiyi meant.
After entering the main hall, she first bowed solemnly to the two words "Taiyi", and then bowed to her master Diyuan Daojun.
Taoist Diyuan taught her that the Great Dao is always number one in this world, and all others are inferior to it.
Taoist Diyuan is very close to this little disciple, and he also likes the aura and vitality of Taoist Yuning.
He smiled at Taoist Yuning: "How was the trip?"
Diyuan Daojun has handsome features, his hair and eyebrows are somewhat gray, and there are some wrinkles on his face, which makes him look quite experienced and deep.
He was tall and slender, and even when he sat cross-legged on the cushion, his back was straight, and he naturally had an unshakable and dignified air.
But when he smiles, his eyes are bright, his smile is sincere and natural, and gives people a strong sense of affinity.
Taoist Yu Ning was very accustomed to her teacher's state. She always felt relaxed and comfortable when she was with Taoist Di Yuan, and was not particularly afraid of her master.
Moreover, since Taoist Yu Ning entered the sect, she has been practicing with Taoist Di Yuan, and has a very close relationship with this master. She also thinks that her master is like this, and she does not feel very constrained in front of Taoist Di Yuan.
Taoist Yu Ning nodded and said, "Master, Taoist Gao is very powerful, really very powerful."
"oh?"
Taoist Master Di Yuan laughed. His disciple was only a human immortal. How could he tell how powerful Gao Xuan was? He was a little curious.
He asked: "Then tell me what is so great about Gao Xuan?"
"I can't tell."
Taoist Yu Ning frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of how to describe Gao Xuan's power.
"You can't even explain it, yet you think the other person is powerful. This is your cognitive barrier. You can't see your true nature, and your multiple perceptions are mixed up, making it impossible to distinguish the fundamentals."
Di Yuan Dao Jun smiled softly: "However, you can't really describe what kind of person Gao Xuan is."
Taoist Yu Ning was a little unconvinced. She thought for a moment and said, "I understand, because Taoist Gao is very handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. He is more handsome than Master and has a higher temperament."
She further explained: "His nearly perfect appearance and demeanor prove that Master Gao has perfected his own cultivation, which is why he can present such a magnificent demeanor."
Di Yuan Dao Jun nodded: "Good analysis."
He paused and asked, "Is he really more handsome and more dignified than my teacher?"
Taoist Yu Ning's bright eyes turned and she said coquettishly: "Of course, Master is the most handsome and the most elegant. No one else can compare to him."
Taoist Master Diyuan stroked his beard and laughed. The little disciple was well-behaved and sensible and knew how to make his teacher happy.
The master and his disciple were chatting happily when a Taoist boy outside the door said loudly, "Master, the Lord of the North Star is here to visit."
Diyuan Daojun restrained his smile. Polaris Lord was worldly-wise and cunning. He actually disliked this person.
But the Lord of the North Star represents the Heaven, so it is not easy to offend him.
Diyuan Daojun could only stand up to greet him and personally go to the gate to welcome Beijixingjun in.
This time, the North Star Lord brought two people with him. Judging from their aura, they were clearly demon kings at the Earth Immortal level. But I don't know what the North Star Lord wants to do!
"I wonder if Xingjun has any advice from afar?"
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Diyuan Daojun asked casually.
Polaris Lord said with a serious face: "Lord Dao, I have something important to discuss with you!"
"What's the big deal?" Diyuan Daojun looked at Beijixingjun's expression and probably guessed what it was, but his face remained expressionless.
Polaris Lord said solemnly: "Lord Dao, Gao Xuan is a great thief of the Yuantian Realm. He wants to steal all the spiritual energy of this realm for his own use. He is a great threat to all living beings in the world. Brother Dao, please kill this thief!"
