King of Assassins

Chapter 1271: Chapter 762: Ambition_4

However, he was not clear about the specific situation. After all, the Eight Desolates were too far away, so far that he had no interest in paying attention.

On the other hand, Gao Xuan had risen too quickly. In just a few thousand years, for Earth Immortals, it was actually just like a few days for ordinary people.

The lifespan of Earth Immortals is measured in epochs, and such long life makes their pace of handling matters very slow.

For this Tri-Element Dharma Assembly, the Polar Star Monarch originally planned to discuss the issue of Gao Xuan with the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.

Xiankong Ancestor and the others proactively approached and described Gao Xuan in such a brutal way, which surprised the Polar Star Monarch considerably.

The words of Xiankong Ancestor and others can’t be entirely trusted.

The problem is that Gao Xuan occupies such vast lands and has killed many Demon Emperors; he must have his schemes.

Advancing into the Central Province might not be true, but it can’t be ignored.

Xiankong Ancestor also said: "I heard a rumor saying Gao Xuan ascended from the Lower Realm. They say he was once a Celestial Master of the Heavenly Court, though it’s unclear if this is true."

He added with concern: "If Gao Xuan is really a Celestial Master of the Heavenly Court and doesn’t come to report to the Star Monarch, it’s clearly a suspicious intent..."

"Is there such a thing?"

The Polar Star Monarch was somewhat puzzled. The Heavenly Court organizations are dispersed across the Nine Heavens, although nominally controlling the Nine Heavens, the Heavenly Court organizations in the Lower Three Realms are basically left unmanaged. Nobody pays attention.

Only in the Middle Three Realms does the organization of the Heavenly Court become strict.

If Gao Xuan ascended from the Lower Realm, he should technically first consult the Heavenly Court, and after approval, someone from the Heavenly Court would guide him. There’s no reason to ascend on his own.

This is not only contrary to the procedure but also very dangerous. Since joining the Heavenly Court, isn’t it to leverage the Heavenly Court’s power?

However, cultivation as powerful as Gao Xuan’s level cannot be approached by common logic.

The Polar Star Monarch said: "I need to investigate this matter."

Xiankong Ancestor explained clearly, finally presenting some precious gifts.

The Polar Star Monarch, as the ruler of the Heavenly Court in this realm, had seen all kinds of good things. He was not very concerned about this. But the gift represented the other’s sincerity, and he gladly accepted it.

After sending off Xiankong Ancestor and the Celestial Corpse, the Polar Star Monarch called upon his subordinates to investigate Gao Xuan’s situation.

The Heavenly Court personnel would all leave records. As long as Gao Xuan had joined the Heavenly Court, there would be a way to find out his circumstances.

It didn’t take long before a subordinate sent over a jade slip.

The Polar Star Monarch opened the jade slip to see that it contained records of Gao Xuan left within the Heavenly Court.

The jade slip’s records not only had text but also images, and even a trace of the divine soul aura left by Gao Xuan.

After viewing the jade slip, the Polar Star Monarch fell into deep thought. From the jade slip, Gao Xuan indeed had peerless charm, matching the traits rumored about him.

According to records, Gao Xuan ascended from the Human Realm several thousand years ago. Within the Heavenly Court, he was given a Ninth Grade Celestial Master position and was then dispatched to the Cyan Celestial Realm.

After Gao Xuan’s appointment, he sent a letter to the Heavenly Court, and then there was no further news.

For the bloated and massive Heavenly Court, a small pawn like Gao Xuan was of no concern to anyone. No one paid attention to Gao Xuan’s disappearance.

As a result, thousands of years later, Gao Xuan emerged in the Primordial Celestial Realm and became a regional overlord.

The Polar Star Monarch pondered for a long time, always feeling that Gao Xuan had significant issues.

He took out six pieces of Qiankun coins and tossed them on the table for divination, only to find all six coins standing upright on the table.

This Gao Xuan, unexpectedly couldn’t be divined or predicted?

The Polar Star Monarch’s expression became somewhat serious. His Innate Divination Skill connects billions of powers of the stars across the Nine Heavens, even capable of calculating two to three points for Celestial Immortals.

Yet when it came to Gao Xuan, nothing could be calculated.

At this moment, the Polar Star Monarch suddenly sensed something. He looked up and saw the Ziwei Star above the Nine Heavens suddenly shining brightly.

The Polar Star Monarch realized, this one too had become the Ziwei Star Lord, making it difficult to calculate.

Speaking of which, although he was known as the Master of Polaris, his Life Star was Merak, which is the first star lord below Ziwei Star.

Among billions of cultivators in the Nine Heavens, there will always be creatures inherently able to harmonize with the Ziwei Star, turning the Ziwei Star into one’s Life Star.

However, the true master of the Ziwei Star is only one.

The Ziwei Star can allow minor beings to temporarily deposit their divine soul, but it won’t allow Earth Immortal level strongmen to coexist with it.

The Ziwei Star itself of course lacks consciousness, but the problem is that the Heavenly Court indeed has the Emperor Ziwei. How can he allow Gao Xuan to coexist with the Ziwei Star?

There are rumors of upheavals above the Nine Heavens, with major issues affecting the Four Celestial Emperors of the Heavenly Court, the three Buddha Venerables of the Buddhist Court, and the Three Daoist Venerables all retreating together.

The Polar Star Monarch has long heard such rumors, but his low status within the Heavenly Court disqualifies him from participating in such high-level matters.

Even the Celestial Immortals in the Upper Three Realms likely don’t know the true situation.

He is so far away, he can’t know the truth.

However, if Gao Xuan is the Ziwei Star Lord, it’s an opportunity!

Slaying Gao Xuan, seizing the Life Star to inherit the Ziwei Star, could enable him to achieve Celestial Immortal status! Perhaps even further is not impossible...

Thinking this, the Polar Star Monarch’s eyes, bright like stars, flashed with divine light, and his expanding ambition kept swelling inexorably...
