King of Assassins

Chapter 1190: Chapter 740: Heaven-Flipping Golden Seal (Part 2)

No wonder this individual could be Shi Wanqiu’s honored guest.

The Nine-headed Bird had a natural familiarity, and within a few words, he was already acting like an old friend of Gao Xuan.

He also introduced to Gao Xuan various guests and the demon kings under Shi Wanqiu.

"This beside us is the Thousand-Eyed Demon Monarch, his brother the Ten Thousand Eyes Demon Emperor, tsk tsk, the whole family has so many eyes, just thinking about it is quite terrifying..."

"That woman with the charming smile is the Six-tailed Fox Demon, she’s quite capable too. Always wanted to be Fellow Daoist Shi’s woman, but unfortunately, Fellow Daoist Shi finds her fox odor unpleasant."

"That big man is the Eight-armed Golden Bull King, strongest in strength. The Three-Eyed White Crow, has excellent swordsmanship. The Purple Eagle King, flies fast with powerful claws..."

The Nine-headed Bird talked a lot, but he wasn’t annoying. With his introductions, Gao Xuan got to know quite a few demons.

To be seated in this area, one had to be at least a demon king. In terms of cultivation, none were inferior to the Poison Dragon.

The Golden Bull King, the White Crow, the Purple Eagle King were among the most powerful demon kings under Shi Wanqiu, each just a step away from achieving Earth Immortal status.

To become an Earth Immortal, one must first occupy a domain. These demon kings, despite their exceptional cultivation, found it nearly impossible to advance further under Shi Wanqiu’s command.

The likes of the Six-tailed Fox Demon and the Thousand-Eyed Demon Monarch all had their own influential backgrounds, supported by powerful Demon Emperors.

The tone of the Nine-headed Bird suggested these Demon Emperors were somewhat stronger than Shi Wanqiu.

Of course, the cultivation differences among Earth Immortals weren’t too significant. As long as an Earth Immortal stayed on their own turf, they had nothing to fear from other Earth Immortals.

Unless it was one of those extraordinarily powerful Earth Immortals, daring to invade another’s territory to fight.

The Nine-headed Bird gestured towards the high platform, "That Fellow Daoist Yu Lian, from the Cyan Lotus Sword Dao, her master is Yuan Qinglian, the Primordial Celestial First Sword Immortal. She’s an incredible powerhouse."

"Oh, how so?"

Gao Xuan perked up at the mention of the Cyan Lotus Sword Dao. The Cyan Leaf Sword was extraordinarily exquisite. But without the Cyan Leaf Sword Spirit, it was always difficult to truly grasp the Cyan Leaf Sword Divine Marrow.

This called for learning from others, gathering wisdom, and absorbing experiences from various sword daos.

Yuan Qinglian, just being called the Primordial Celestial First Sword Immortal, showed how extraordinary her swordsmanship was.

Seeing Gao Xuan’s interest, the Nine-headed Bird became more enthusiastic, "Yuan Qinglian is a legend. It’s said she was a reincarnation of an innate green lotus, grew up in the lotus pond of the Profound City Divine Palace above the Nine Heavens, listened to the Dao under the Celestial Venerable for a million years, and comprehended the Dao in one day, transforming into a human.

"It’s rumored she killed several Celestial Immortals during an ancient war and was heavily injured. Somehow, she came to reside in the Primordial Celestial Realm. Since then, Yuan Qinglian’s sword swept across the Primordial Celestial Realm, slaying three mighty Earth Immortals, establishing a legendary reputation..."

Talking about Yuan Qinglian, the Nine-headed Bird was full of sincere admiration.

An Earth Immortal is a ruler of their own domain. Yuan Qinglian could forcibly enter others’ territories and slay the rulers. Moreover, she killed three Earth Immortals. Such ability can’t be overstated.

It’s said the Primordial Celestial Realm also has some extraordinary powerhouses, even stronger than Yuan Qinglian in some respects. But these individuals don’t have the same murderous aura and decisiveness as Yuan Qinglian. Though formidable, they seem a bit lacking in spirit compared to her.

Not as compelling as Yuan Qinglian, with her profound stories.

After listening to the Nine-headed Bird, Gao Xuan curiously asked, "Isn’t Fellow Daoist Shi afraid of Yuan Qinglian in taking Yu Lian Daoist under his wing?"

"Yu Lian Daoist is just one of Yuan Qinglian’s three thousand disciples. Although this Sword Immortal has a bad temper, she wouldn’t trouble Shi Wanqiu for a minor disciple."

The Nine-headed Bird chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi is well aware of this, so he dares to take in Yu Lian Daoist."

Gao Xuan nodded, this indeed made sense. If Shi Wanqiu even feared Yuan Qinglian, he would have to reconsider.

However, the Nine-headed Bird’s enthusiastic introductions, though without bias in words, seemed to imply that Shi Wanqiu’s status among Earth Immortals wasn’t high.

Was the Nine-headed Bird hoping to see trouble between him and Shi Wanqiu? Stir up a conflict?

Gao Xuan couldn’t quite figure out the Nine-headed Bird’s intentions, but it didn’t matter much what he thought.

The key issue was whether this Demon Emperor Shi Wanqiu could be dealt with.

Eliminating Shi Wanqiu and taking over this territory should suffice to refine the Thunder Skill Earth Immortal Law. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

By then, he would have a foothold in the Primordial Celestial Realm. As long as he didn’t encounter an extraordinary being like Yuan Qinglian.

The Nine-headed Bird’s words piqued Gao Xuan’s interest in Yuan Qinglian.

But at this point, with only the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw, he might not even be a match for Shi Wanqiu. Seeking out Yuan Qinglian would be a certain death.

Just then, the host on the high platform loudly announced: "Everyone, let’s jointly wish His Majesty eternal longevity, equalling the heavens."

The multitude of demons on the square stood up noisily, and under the host’s lead, ten thousand demons knelt in unison, chanting loudly: "Wishing His Majesty eternal longevity, equalling the heavens."

The Nine-headed Bird, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Monarch, and others were friends of Shi Wanqiu, of course, they did not kneel. Instead, they bowed with cupped hands and echoed the chant.

Gao Xuan also stood up, though seeking trouble with his opponent, he saw no need to spoil their celebration.

After all, this might be Shi Wanqiu’s last birthday, let him enjoy it.

With ten thousand demons kneeling or bowing, Gao Xuan standing still on the square was exceedingly conspicuous.

Receiving the kneeling and chanting of ten thousand demons, Shi Wanqiu was also in an excellent mood.

Reaching this level of Earth Immortality, one could truly be called a master of a domain.

As long as he didn’t act recklessly, such carefree and joyful days could continue indefinitely. With his cultivation and foundation, living another thirty epochs wouldn’t be a problem.
