King of Assassins
Chapter 1028 - 689: Warm Welcome_5
After this enhancement, the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light sea lost its honing effect on Gao Xuan.
Of course, if one stays in the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light for a long time, it would eventually wear down even Gao Xuan's Innate Primordial Golden Body, like water wearing away stone.
Fortunately, in just over a dozen days, he had already collected enough of the Nine Heavens Primordial Magnetic Divine Light.
Gao Xuan wasn't in a hurry to go back. The Celestial Master Temple was too small; refining the Jun Heaven Wheel would trigger various anomalies, making it quite inconvenient.
Now that sufficient Nine Heavens Primordial Magnetic Divine Light was collected, he might as well refine the Jun Heaven Wheel deep within the Nine Heavens.
Gao Xuan deduced the Jun Heaven Secret Technique through Formless Nine Revolutions, just waiting to start the refinement.
However, before refining, Gao Xuan repeatedly simulated and deduced the artifact refining process using the Formless Nine Revolutions.
Xuan Guang Mirror, Merak Star Sand, these are very special materials for magical artifacts. If broken, they can't be replaced. Fortunately, the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light is infinite.
Artifact refining is about merging the Origin Law of the Immortal Realm with the core of the magical artifact, to give the artifact earth-shattering power.
Hence, artifact refining often fails. The failure rate is even higher than enhancing divine artifacts in games.
Especially with the Jun Heaven Wheel being of such a high tier, even crafting a simplified version is extremely difficult. Moreover, Gao Xuan isn't particularly skilled at artifact refining.
Thankfully, the Formless Nine Revolutions is effective, allowing Gao Xuan to simulate a thousand times, refining every detail of the artifact refining process.
As expected, Gao Xuan failed several dozen times right at the start. It was always some extremely minor detail that went wrong. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
After many failures, Gao Xuan also realized the peculiarities of artifact refining in the Immortal Realm.
In the past, Gao Xuan could easily refine swords and such because he grasped the highest laws of the Star River, with nothing hindering him from above.
But the Immortal Realm is different. Gao Xuan knows too little about the Immortal Realm Law and his own level is not high enough.
Thus, complex artifact refining encounters various uncontrollable situations.
Through deducing and simulating tens of thousands of times, Gao Xuan finally truly mastered the method of refining the Jun Heaven Wheel.
With so many trial-and-error attempts, Gao Xuan was able to successfully refine the Jun Heaven Wheel in one go.
The Jun Heaven Wheel appeared like a sun, seemingly golden, yet hiding fiery crimson, and within the crimson, there was a hint of white... It is, in fact, a combination of seven-colored divine light, hence its boundless transformations.
The original Merak Star Sand, Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, and Xuan Guang Mirror gathered into one, transforming into the formless, intangible Jun Heaven Wheel.
Arriving in the Immortal Realm, Gao Xuan was extremely pleased to have personally refined an Immortal Realm magical artifact for the first time.
Judging by the Jun Heaven Wheel's aura, it is a top-tier Immortal Artifact.
Unlike ordinary Immortal Artifacts, when the Jun Heaven Wheel is activated, its divine light combines the sharp swiftness of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light and the rigid ferocity of the Merak Star Sand, capable of attacking with invincible force, defending against all methods, and retreating by transforming into light, able to change in all ways.
Once the Jun Heaven Wheel was formed, its aura leaked out, drawing thunder from above the Nine Heavens.
Gao Xuan, wielding the Jun Heaven Wheel, easily overcame the thunder tribulation, again delving into the sea of Primordial Magnetic Divine Light to test the Jun Heaven Wheel's power.
In the past two days, as Gao Xuan was enjoying himself, he sensed Ao Qiong's malice. But he didn't pay it any mind. Until Zuo Wentao sought him out.
In Zuo Wentao, Gao Xuan saw malice from the Buddhist Sect in the southeast.
"Both Ao Qiong and the Buddhist Sect mean to seek vengeance…"
Though Gao Xuan didn't want to bother with Zuo Wentao, he had to inquire about the situation.
Given that the Celestial Master Temple had already been breached once, Gao Xuan didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
With a flick of his long sleeve, in the next moment, the Cloud Rain Sorcerer Zuo Wentao was before him.
Zuo Wentao saw the vast sea of clouds, the crimson great sun overhead, and his face suddenly changed. Only upon seeing Gao Xuan did his face barely calm down.
Yet in his heart, he was filled with unease. As a dignified Spirit Immortal, he was forcibly brought to the Nine Heavens without any reaction, at Gao Xuan's whim.
Being controlled like this is quite unsettling.
Zuo Wentao suppressed his turbulent emotions and bowed deeply to Gao Xuan: "Celestial Master, disciple has important matters to report."
He raised his head, somewhat uneasy, and said: "Celestial Master, there's major trouble…"
"Let's hear it."
Gao Xuan's voice was unhurried, naturally exuding a calm composure.
Zuo Wentao initially wanted to feign some urgency to show loyalty, but under Gao Xuan's clear and profound gaze, he felt as though he was seen through from the inside out, making all his pretenses seem like a joke.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Zuo Wentao retracted his exaggerated expression, adjusted his emotions, and said: "Disciple was invited by Jinshan Temple to participate in the Golden Lotus Dharma Assembly, where I met many eminent monks of the Northern Province's Buddhist Sect…"
Zuo Wentao, backed by Yu Jing Dao, had seen quite a bit over the past two thousand years. He wouldn't be intimidated by a bunch of Buddhist monks.
However, this Dharma Assembly, after the discourse by numerous high monks of the Buddhist Sect, Jinshan hosted a meeting.
The agenda was simple: Jinshan asked the high monks how to handle the fact that Jin Guang was killed by Gao Xuan.
The assembly had four Golden Body Arhats and dozens of Arhats, all believing that Gao Xuan must take responsibility for this and give an explanation to the Buddhist Sect.
Not that anyone said Gao Xuan had to be killed, but they concluded that Gao Xuan should be imprisoned in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons for two thousand years.
The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is the largest cave in the Northern Province. It accumulates endless filth and has a mysterious ghost eye, giving rise to various demons annually.
Tens of thousands of years ago, many great figures of the Northern Province joined forces to seal the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.
Although the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is a filthy, extremely yin place, it also produces the Separation Flame Golden Lotus, and the demons within can be refined into various magical artifacts.
So, after being sealed, the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons became very valuable.
Originally, it was agreed that various sects would take turns safeguarding it. But somehow, the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons ended up in the hands of the Buddhist Sect without rotation.
The Buddhist Sect, holding the Separation Flame Golden Lotus, grew increasingly powerful, now overwhelmingly suppressing the Daoist Sect, becoming the strongest sect in the Northern Province.
Jin Guang was so brazen because the Buddhist Sect's power was strong and formidable.
The Separation Flame Golden Lotus produced by the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is excellent, but the daily emergence of various demons is also problematic. So, people often need to be sent into the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons to clear out the demons.
The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is filthy, and a cultivator's divine soul is easily tainted. So, clearing demons is a hard task.
Being imprisoned in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons for two thousand years, such a long time, Gao Xuan would surely be tainted by the filth, with no chance of coming out alive. This shows how malicious these monks are.
It's not just that these monks are malicious, the key is that they are very united.
Zuo Wentao explained the situation in detail. Finally, he said: "Master Jinshan asked me to pass on a message, they will visit you in three days and ask you to prepare…"
Gao Xuan asked Zuo Wentao: "Do you think they believe I am alone and weak, so they want to bully me?"
Zuo Wentao felt very awkward, indeed, those baldies of the Buddhist Sect are shameless. A group came to gang up on Gao Xuan.
But he couldn't agree, as he feared Gao Xuan would send him to gather help.
Gao Xuan suddenly smiled: "You go and tell Jinshan that for the esteemed Buddhist high monks' visit, I have four words: warmly welcome..."
Zuo Wentao was stunned.
