King of Assassins

Chapter 1185: Chapter 738: Assembly of Ten Thousand Monsters (Part 3)

Gao Xuan also felt a clear bottleneck. The Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body only needed to take a small step forward to break through the current realm and enter the Earth Immortal level.

Sword Dao, Thunder Skill, these were Gao Xuan’s temporary choices. Because these two paths made it easier to condense Earth Immortal Laws.

The Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body was his foundation. If this body could condense Earth Immortal Laws, that would be a real breakthrough.

Unfortunately, Gao Xuan didn’t know how to make this breakthrough.

The tempering of All Heavens Star Power was useful. However, it could only help him polish the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body to Perfection, without helping him break through.

This kind of thing couldn’t be rushed.

Other Earth Immortals would need to cultivate for tens or even millions of years to achieve their Dao. Although he had considerable fortune, it wasn’t easy to take shortcuts.

Calculating the time, Gao Xuan opened his eyes and called in Ripples and Ice Soul, asking them to prepare to depart.

The Golden Ape King also arrived. Over the past few months, he had been pummeled and taught by Ripples, and now he was less arrogant.

Gao Xuan said, "Tomorrow is Fellow Daoist Shi Wanqiu’s grand birthday celebration, we set out now."

The Golden Ape King was a bit surprised. Gao Xuan really dared to attend Shi Wanqiu’s epoch birthday? This guy had guts...

He knew very well that Shi Wanqiu would never allow an independent strong character in his own territory.

The Golden Ape King was quite happy, as Shi Wanqiu would be too busy with his birthday to bother with Gao Xuan. Gao Xuan putting himself in danger was just perfect.

On this trip, either Gao Xuan would be subdued by Shi Wanqiu, or he would be killed. There were no other paths.

By that time, he would surely regain his freedom.

Leaving Golden Ape Mountain, Gao Xuan transformed the Cloud Dragon Carriage, and he, Ripples, and Ice Soul sat inside, while the Golden Ape King could only act as a driver at the front.

The Cloud Dragon Carriage itself was just a small magical artifact, not much to speak of. Its speed entirely depended on the driver’s ability.

The Golden Ape King wasn’t great at fighting, but his ability to leap through the void was strong. The Cloud Dragon Carriage drew power from the Golden Ape King, swiftly traversing the void.

By the time the red sun in the sky was setting, the Cloud Dragon Carriage had arrived at Qianqiu Palace.

Tomorrow was Shi Wanqiu’s thirtieth epoch birthday, and the entire Qianqiu Palace was festively decorated.

In the dim, dusky sunlight, Qianqiu Palace appeared even more brilliantly lit and bustling.

All kinds of streamers and brilliant lights shone in the sky, as demons and cultivators from all directions gathered.

Most demons flew in their original forms, with giant eagles, cranes, black crows in peculiar shapes, each looking rather ugly and fierce.

However, before entering Qianqiu Palace, these demons would certainly transform into human shapes, wearing ill-fitting luxurious clothes, each trying to appear polite and refined.

Gao Xuan’s Cloud Dragon Carriage didn’t look conspicuous among them.

The Golden Ape King dared not act recklessly, guiding the Cloud Dragon Carriage to land at Qianqiu Palace.

Gao Xuan said nothing, going with the flow. Upon entering someone else’s territory, respect for the host was necessary. Of course, this didn’t affect his plans to kill the host...

Hmm, these were two separate matters.

Following rules was about cultivation, while killing was about irreconcilable conflict.

The Golden Ape King knew Shi Wanqiu’s character and had prepared in advance. He wore a bright red robe embroidered with gold and a hat with long wings.

This half-human groom’s outfit looked comically festive on the Golden Ape King, fully interpreting the saying "a monkey wearing a crown". fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Ripples pointed at the Golden Ape King and laughed heartily, tears streaming from her eyes.

Although Ice Soul showed no emotion, seeing the Golden Ape King’s comical appearance brought a hint of a smile to her bright eyes.

Gao Xuan also laughed; this Golden Ape King was quite amusing.

While the Golden Ape King didn’t understand human etiquette, he was smart enough to realize something was wrong when Ripples and the others laughed at him.

With anyone else daring to laugh, he would have slapped them, smashing their head. But he didn’t dare lay a hand on Ripples.

The Golden Ape King felt rather embarrassed by the laughter. He stood there, at a loss, his big face showing a blush hidden beneath his black fur, preventing others from seeing that his face and bottom were the same color.

The Golden Ape King glanced around at the others. This group of demons also wore bright red robes, but they were ill-fitting, worn all crookedly and foolishly.

In comparison, he felt he wasn’t too bad. He couldn’t understand what Ripples and the others were laughing about.

The Golden Ape King mustered the courage to ask, "Big boss, am I dressed incorrectly?"

"It’s festive, nothing right or wrong."

Gao Xuan reassured him. Such small matters weren’t worth too much attention.

With too few humans around and no human civilization, Shi Wanqiu’s attempts at elegance left the demons grasping at straws, resulting in this chaotic display.

Perhaps even Shi Wanqiu would find it amusing. However, the demons were doing their best.

Being a self-taught demon, the Golden Ape King wasn’t particularly concerned, and he adjusted quickly.

He said to Gao Xuan, "Big boss, let’s head to the Peace Inn first. It’s the best inn here. We’ll stay the night and attend the birthday banquet tomorrow..."

The Golden Ape King waited outside Qianqiu Palace’s main gate for a while, but nobody came to question them, leaving him slightly disappointed that the Demon Emperor wasn’t too concerned with Gao Xuan’s arrival.

But on second thought, His Majesty the Demon Emperor probably considered Gao Xuan insignificant, which was why he didn’t care.

At tomorrow’s banquet, Gao Xuan was surely going to suffer!

With this thought, the Golden Ape King felt glad. He eagerly led Gao Xuan and the others to the Peace Inn.

Along the way, the group drew many curious glances from demons. After all, human race cultivators were exceedingly rare here, found only in His Majesty’s palace.

Gao Xuan, Ice Soul, and Ripples had remarkable presences that were striking even among the human race. Among demons, they shone like jewels in the dirt, impossible to hide.

Fortunately, those demons attending the birthday banquet were not too foolish. Despite their curiosity, none dared to cause trouble. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Moreover, with the Golden Ape King present, several demons recognized this demon king, and seeing him attentively serving them, the other demons dared not act rashly.

At the Peace Inn, Gao Xuan found that the inn was styled after a human inn, which added a touch of familiarity.

Many demons sat in the lobby, and in the center sat a great demon with slit eyes and black fine-scaled skin, clearly a snake demon in human form.

Upon seeing the Golden Ape King, the snake demon burst into laughter, "Golden monkey, look at your appearance, it’s truly laughable..."

The Golden Ape King saw the snake demon, feeling both embarrassed and angry, "Black-Skinned Snake, on His Majesty’s birthday, you didn’t even wear any clothes and came bare-bottomed. Have you no shame?"

The black-skinned snake demon sneered, "His Majesty is magnanimous, not caring about such trivialities. It’s you demons who try to ape humans and humiliate His Majesty instead."

He swept his long eyes over Gao Xuan, "And who are these? You follow them like a lackey."

This statement drew the attention of many demons in the lobby.

The Golden Ape King, infuriated, loudly retorted, "These are His Majesty’s esteemed guests, not someone you can provoke. Quickly, bow and offer your respects to the esteemed guests."

This self-proclaimed Poison Dragon black-skinned python demon had long-standing enmity with the Golden Ape King. The Golden Ape King, smart at this moment, intentionally provoked Poison Dragon.

Poison Dragon despised humans and was arrogant. Besides Shi Wanqiu, he looked down on other demons.

Indeed, Poison Dragon squinted his eyes, "Esteemed guests? Why haven’t I heard of them?"

He sneered at Gao Xuan, "I want to see what makes you an esteemed guest!"
