King of Assassins
Chapter 1055 - 695: Trouble_3
The two of them looked at each other and laughed heartily, raising their wine glasses for a toast.
The Red Leaf Wine was strong and spicy. These two Human Immortals, over six thousand years old, laughed joyously but tasted a deep bitterness in the wine.
Standing at the pinnacle of this world, even a Human Immortal endures a harsh life!
Ten days later, the Celestial Fool personally came to the Celestial Master Temple to meet Gao Xuan.
After ten days apart, the Celestial Fool felt that Gao Xuan had undergone some significant changes, though he couldn't quite put his finger on them.
After observing for a while, the Celestial Fool determined that Gao Xuan now exuded a harmonious and approachable aura.
Previously, Gao Xuan, lofty like a bright moon high above the Nine Heavens, naturally possessed an unattainable immortal grace.
Now, however, Gao Xuan was like a spring breeze, gentle and tranquil, and the Immortal Qi that resisted worldly dust had been retracted.
To put it simply, Gao Xuan now had a touch more humanity. This change was subtle, yet very real.
Even someone as powerful as the Celestial Fool couldn't help but feel a bit closer to Gao Xuan.
The Celestial Fool was also somewhat puzzled; with Gao Xuan's level of cultivation, his aura shouldn't have altered so noticeably.
So, had his cultivation advanced another step? The Celestial Fool could only interpret it this way because it was impossible for Gao Xuan's cultivation to suddenly decline; it could only be explained as a significant advancement.
The Celestial Fool guessed correctly: over these ten days, Gao Xuan completely absorbed the memories of numerous experts from the Buddhist Sect. These experts possessed countless years of cultivation experience, and once Gao Xuan had truly digested this knowledge, he completely integrated with the Cyan Celestial Realm, with no remaining barriers.
This transformation also made Gao Xuan appear more approachable and amiable.
From a cultivation standpoint, Gao Xuan also advanced a step forward. This step wasn't large, but it was incredibly solid.
Since entering the Immortal Realm, Gao Xuan had been attempting to integrate into it. He had made numerous efforts for this cause.
Comprehending the Dao by the Bai Cang River enabled Gao Xuan to take the most crucial and pivotal step.
The experience of everyone from the Buddhist Sect saved Gao Xuan a long and exploratory journey.
The most representative transformation was the Nether God Claw turning into the Endless Celestial Dragon Claw. By reaching this point, the Hongyi Sword, Celestial Dragon Eye, Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Claw, and the important Divine Artifacts on Gao Xuan had all merged with the Immortal Realm Law.
This fusion was an upgrade from the bottom up, and then a compatibility with the Immortal Realm Law. Although Gao Xuan made it look easy, it was actually extremely challenging.
The key was that Gao Xuan activated the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada, with the Formless Nine Revolutions enabling Gao Xuan to simulate calculations, allowing him to always choose the correct path. This saved him countless hours of searching and avoided the disastrous consequences of exploration failures.
As for the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon and Infinite Godslaying Spear, some were either incompatible with the Immortal Realm Law or of a slightly lower level. Gao Xuan temporarily didn't have the energy to address these.
However, the Jun Heaven Wheel he crafted performed exceptionally well.
By simulating through Formless Nine Revolutions, the Jun Heaven Wheel still had vast room for upgrades. It just required more advanced materials. Furthermore, the Jun Heaven Wheel had reached the Cyan Celestial Realm's power limit; there was no more room for it to upgrade here.
For further upgrades, he would have to wait until entering a higher-level Celestial Realm.
Gao Xuan had only been in the Cyan Celestial Realm for a year; he wasn't in a hurry to leave. At the very least, he planned to travel around the Four Great Regions, collecting as many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures as he could.
Each layer of the Celestial Realm is rich with resources. It would be a waste not to gather them.
Moreover, in the Cyan Celestial Realm, he was nearly invincible. That might not be the case in the Upper Celestial Realm.
The Immortal Realm is vast, with intricate and intertwined relationships among the major powers. The Celestial Court had little influence in the Cyan Celestial Realm, but this Celestial Master position was a formal identity.
Upon entering a higher realm, the Celestial Master identity would still be useful. It wouldn't be casually discarded.
Gao Xuan decided to establish roots in the Cyan Celestial Realm. He was curious to see how the Celestial Court would arrange for him five hundred years later.
The Celestial Fool had no idea what Gao Xuan was thinking. Though Gao Xuan had become more harmonious and approachable, the Celestial Fool still maintained a respectful demeanor.
The Great Wind Country was located at the southernmost edge of the Northern Province, occupying an extensive stretch of fertile plains. Traveling from Qiong Country to the Great Wind Country required traversing at least several hundred thousand miles.
At such a great distance, flying directly was, of course, impossible.
The Celestial Fool arranged for a huge Cloud Sail Spaceship. This type of spaceship was extremely fast, covering tens of thousands of miles in a day and night.
It took the Cloud Sail Spaceship half a month to reach Yong'an, the capital city of Great Wind City.
Yong'an was far larger than the Wuyuan Capital City. From above, the capital spanned a hundred miles in circumference, with towering cyan walls enclosing the city in a square shape.
The roads leading to Yong'an City were bustling with carriages and pedestrians. To the north of Yong'an City, a vast open ground accommodated numerous large Cloud Sail Spaceships taking off and landing.
Gao Xuan was somewhat surprised to see such bustling trade and commerce in the Cyan Celestial Realm, which was reminiscent of an ancient society.
To his amazement, many Runes were carved on the thick cyan city walls. The entire Yong'an City was a massive Array.
The Wuyuan Capital City also had a City Defense Array, but compared to Yong'an City, it was inferior in both scale and level.
Within Yong'an City, the aura of Spirit Immortal Cultivators surged into the sky, with at least twenty or thirty Spirit Immortal Cultivators making the place quite lively. And these figures didn't even count those who were concealing their aura.
Gao Xuan remarked to the Celestial Fool, "This is indeed a lively place."
The Celestial Fool introduced with a smile, "I came here three thousand years ago. This ancient city has expanded since then. I must say, Yong'an indeed deserves the title of the largest capital city in the Northern Province. It's vibrant and bustling..."
Ripples, standing by, was wide-eyed. She had been to the Wuyuan Capital City, which was too small and quite dull, incomparable to the grandeur of Yong'an City before her.
From above, one could see a giant lake within Yong'an City, with beautifully arranged pleasure boats on the water, a very attractive sight.
