Free Web NovelChapter 1248: Chapter 755: Awaiting You for a Long Time (Part 2)
Gao Xuan could tell that Ripples was getting a bit conceited. He reached out and rapped her hard twice on the forehead. "You’re a Sword Immortal, you win by sharpness, but you don’t have any other transformative Divine Techniques. If you can’t kill with one sword, you’ll easily be countered. And you still dare be proud of yourself!"
"Big Lord, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Seeing that Gao Xuan was actually a bit angry, Ripples hurriedly covered her forehead and coquettishly begged for mercy. "Big Lord, it really hurts so much..."
Gao Xuan shot Ripples a glare, annoyed, and ignored her.
Peach Blossom Monarch was dead, his Divine Soul Essence Blood all absorbed by the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw. Gao Xuan skimmed through the other party’s memories; the Luoying Sword was a bit interesting, but only just a bit.
After several hundred years of Cultivation, he had fused the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light and the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light into one Earth Artifact, and on top of that integrated Formless Transformation.
This new Earth Artifact should have been called the Five Elements Celestial Net Earth Evil Divine Light. Gao Xuan felt that was too troublesome, so he renamed it Five Elements Formless Divine Light.
With Formless Transformation added into the Five Elements Divine Light, it could shift between void and reality, the Five Elements cycling forward and reverse, birthing endless variations.
Gao Xuan seized the Spiritual Qi territories of three Demon Emperors, greatly enhancing the might of the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light.
In the process, Gao Xuan also helped Ripples and Ice Soul each snatch two Demon Emperor domains.
Ripples and Ice Soul already had pure Sword Intent, having reached the Earth Immortal level. They just lacked sufficient Spiritual Qi.
With Spiritual Qi as support, the two easily proved the Dao as Earth Immortals. A very key point was that both of them used Sword Intent to prove the Dao and did not rely on the Hongyi Sword.
In other words, the Sword Intent Law of both of them had reached the Earth Immortal level. When necessary, Ripples and Ice Soul could both transform into Sword Intent Law and attach themselves to the Hongyi Sword.
Compared to the Five Elements Formless Divine Light, the growth of Ripples and Ice Soul was more important and more meaningful.
Through Ripples and Ice Soul, the Hongyi Sword could be directly raised to the Earth Artifact level. With just this one sword, Gao Xuan had the confidence to vie with all the immortals under heaven.
What Gao Xuan lacked now was only the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body; he still hadn’t reached the Earth Immortal level.
The Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body was flawless inside and out, merged into one Primordial whole. From Divine Soul to blood and qi, body, and Spiritual Qi, it constructed an almost perfect entirety.
To raise the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body, he had to improve in several aspects at once. After deduction and calculation, Gao Xuan concluded that even if he drained all the remaining Spiritual Qi of the Southern Barbarian Wilderness into himself, it still wouldn’t be enough.
That was a bit troublesome.
Fortunately the Primordial Celestial Realm was boundless; the Southern Barbarian Wilderness was only one of the Eight Desolates. He could completely swallow down the Southern Barbarian Wilderness’s neighbor, the Southern Barbarian Wilderness of the Southern Barbarians, as well. That would certainly be enough.
However, the urgent matter at hand was to resolve the trouble of the Ten Sufferings Sect.
Yuan Xiang had used various methods to gather information on Gao Xuan. As soon as Gao Xuan refined the Five Elements Formless Divine Light, he immediately sensed something was off.
The difference between Gao Xuan and Yuan Xiang was that Gao Xuan had the Ninth Consciousness and the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada. He could always sense danger and all sorts of clues ahead of time.
While Yuan Xiang swaggered about expanding his territory, Gao Xuan discovered Yuan Xiang with just a bit of probing. At the same time, he also saw Jin Xiang.
To be honest, Gao Xuan was very surprised to actually run into Jin Xiang in the Primordial Celestial Realm.
Back then in the Cyan Celestial Realm, at the East Sea Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly, East Sea Dragon King Ao Dongcheng set up the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon Array, intending to wipe out all Cultivators.
Jin Xiang had been sent away by the combined forces of the Buddhist Sect, destination unknown. He hadn’t expected her to ascend to the Primordial Celestial Realm so quickly, and her Cultivation had skyrocketed as well.
Gao Xuan only dared to glance at her from afar and did not dare look any more. Because Jin Xiang’s senses were too sharp; if he kept looking he would definitely be noticed by Jin Xiang.
In just four thousand years, Jin Xiang had driven the Vajra Power King Scripture to the absolute pinnacle. In pure Power alone, she was stronger than Xiong Wuji.
Gao Xuan was very sure that in a fair duel Jin Xiang could hammer Xiong Wuji to death with a single punch.
From his lessons with Xiong Wuji, Gao Xuan had come to appreciate how terrifying pure Power could be.
Looking at Jin Xiang again, he became all the more cautious.
The Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw should be able to annihilate Jin Xiang; as for Yuan Xiang, he was a whole Realm lower. Speaking of him, he was nothing more than a Nine-headed Dragon King type, not worth mentioning.
The problem was that behind Yuan Xiang and Jin Xiang stood the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva and the entire Ten Sufferings Sect.
The memories of the Five Phases were all incomplete, and everything regarding the secrets of the Ten Sufferings Sect had been sealed. Gao Xuan also couldn’t be sure how many powerhouses the Ten Sufferings Sect possessed.
Even facing just one Ten Suffering Bodhisattva, he wasn’t confident he could win.
Gao Xuan therefore didn’t act back then; he only quietly sped up his expansion. He skirted around the region where Yuan Xiang was and led Ripples and Ice Soul to expand in other directions.
Only then did they slaughter their way all the way to the edge of the Southern Barbarian Wilderness, the Southern Barbarian Sea. Peach Blossom Monarch, Giant Whale King and the like were all considered very marginal Demon Emperors even within the Southern Barbarian Wilderness.
Southern Barbarian Wilderness—"Great Wilderness" here referred to the mountains, forests, and land, and absolutely did not include the sea.
The Nine Dragon Sea, for example, was an inland sea within the Great Wilderness and not the same as the Southern Barbarian Outer Sea.
The Southern Barbarian Wilderness was a savage land; the Southern Barbarian Sea was the remotest corner of that savage land. The good thing was that the Southern Barbarian Sea had even more Spiritual Qi, and the Demons in the sea were even dumber.
Gao Xuan carved his way through all along the route, never needing a second move.
Peach Blossom Monarch counted as the smartest and most nimble among the Demons of the Southern Barbarian Sea, yet he still couldn’t withstand even a single sword from Ripples.
In the final analysis, it was because this group of Demons wielded their Power in a far too crude fashion.
The same Power was utterly vulnerable when facing Ripples.
After Gao Xuan dealt with Peach Blossom Monarch, a premonition arose in his heart: Jin Xiang and Yuan Xiang were coming!
It wasn’t hard to avoid those two, but the Southern Barbarian Wilderness was only so big. If Jin Xiang and Yuan Xiang didn’t leave, they were bound to run into each other sooner or later.
Only by resolving the problem of the Ten Sufferings Sect could Gao Xuan dominate the Southern Barbarian Wilderness and calmly carry out his grand plan.
To refine the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body, he needed endless Spiritual Qi and an extremely long time. During that process, Gao Xuan did not want to be disturbed.
If you want to seek peace, you must first possess battle power. Laying bare your weaknesses and letting yourself be butchered will never buy you peace.
