King of Assassins

Chapter 1272: Chapter 763: Invitation

The starlight of Ziwei Star flared brightly, illuminating the starry sky, illuminating billions of stars.

Many powerful beings in the Primordial Celestial Realm saw this scene, yet did not understand its significance.

Nominally, the stars of the Nine Heavens are all under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court excels at harnessing Star Power.

Each level of Celestial Official is titled Star Monarch, and each has their own designated Life Star.

Although Ziwei Star represents the master of all stars, it is too distant from the Primordial Celestial Realm. Many powerful beings sensed the abnormality of Ziwei Star, but didn’t pay much attention.

The Polar Star Monarch in Four Seas City, however, was stirred by the change in Ziwei Star and ignited ambition.

Meanwhile, Gao Xuan, who was in seclusion in Celestial Essence Valley, also opened his eyes.

Deep within Gao Xuan’s profound Celestial Dragon Eye, a purple star with nine points of brilliance was slowly rotating.

Behind Gao Xuan’s head, the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel also appeared, and on this deep blue divine wheel, only a nine-pointed purple Divine Star shone brightly.

Gao Xuan gathered endless Spiritual Qi, finally invoking the power of the Nine Heavens Ziwei Star, intending to also refine the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel into an Earth Artifact.

He had been refining for decades but always missed the mark at the threshold. Just now, a mysterious stimulation deepened his connection with Ziwei Star, invoking endless Ziwei Star Power to descend.

Under the reinforcement of Ziwei Star Power, the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel transformed all the gathered endless Spiritual Qi into the Law of Ziwei Star Power, elevating this magical artifact to the level of an Earth Artifact.

Gao Xuan was somewhat delighted; Star Power was unpredictable, and with no guidance, he entirely relied on his own exploration and cultivation.

Though Formless Nine Revolutions had the ability to deduce, its extrapolation of Star Power always resulted in great deviation.

This accidental success allowed him to advance further, refining the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel into an Earth Artifact.

In Gao Xuan’s view, the transition of the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel into an Earth Artifact was secondary; the key was his deepened connection with Ziwei Star, enabling better mastery over the power of all heavenly stars.

The Jun Heaven Star God Wheel was merely a tool for bearing the transformations of Star Power; his Divine Soul’s connection with Ziwei Star was the true core foundation.

With the power of all heavenly stars, wherever Gao Xuan went, he could easily invoke the power of the stars. This was akin to an Earth Immortal invoking the Power of Heaven and Earth at home.

But unlike that, Gao Xuan’s invocation of heavenly star power was much mightier. Through the transformation of the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel, the power of the stars would become even stronger.

Therefore, the quality of the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel had reached the highest realm level. Compared to the Endless Celestial Dragon Claw, its power was five points weaker. However, while the Endless Celestial Dragon Claw was powerful yet pathless, it served as a mighty divine artifact for Gao Xuan.

The Jun Heaven Star God Wheel, on the other hand, represented an infinitely vast path of Star Power.

In terms of realm comparison, the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel was indeed stronger and higher.

Gao Xuan rose lightly off the ground with a flick of his sleeve, having collected Eight Desolates Primordial Qi over hundreds of years, and finally trained his Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body to the Earth Immortal level.

The Jun Heaven Star God Wheel was an unexpected gain, an accident that brought him even more joy.

With a flash of the Jun Heaven Star God Wheel, Gao Xuan was already back at Qianqiu Palace.

Positioned by the stars of all heavens, Gao Xuan could now navigate freely across the Eight Desolates. For him, the world was vast, yet any place he had visited, a mere thought could transport him there.

Unvisited places could also be swiftly reached using the heavenly divine stars as coordinates, ensuring he would never be lost in the void.

Upon returning to Qianqiu Palace and barely seated, Ripples hurried over, both surprised and delighted to see Gao Xuan.

"Master, you returned just in time."

Ripples took out an invitation card from her sleeve and handed it to Gao Xuan: "A messenger came some days ago with this, an invitation from the Earth Element Daoist Monarch for the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly, inviting you to discuss doctrines and teachings."

Gao Xuan took the invitation, opened it casually, and indeed it was personally written by the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.

Just looking at the signature, those four characters of Earth Element Daoist Monarch were as majestic and profound as boundless earth.

Such awe-inspiring power and momentum, no one can impersonate or falsify.

Gao Xuan compared, and the strongest he had met, Jin Xiang and Ghost Emperor, both possessed top-tier powers of this world.

Jin Xiang’s divine power was exceptionally fierce, with Sumeru Mountain Fist wielding the might to annihilate all heavens. Yet her fist technique lacked the profound depth of these four characters.

The Ghost Emperor could invoke the Celestial Ghost Array, gathering the might of Twelve Celestial Ghosts, more magnificent even than Jin Xiang. However, compared to these four characters, it lacked that inherent meticulous order, and even less that near-Dao-like beauty.

Just based on this signature, the Earth Element Daoist Monarch surpasses both the Ghost Emperor and Jin Xiang.

Gao Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim: "Worthy of the world’s number one, truly extraordinary."

Had he not trained the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body, Gao Xuan wouldn’t dare claim he could surpass the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.

This Daoist Monarch is likely the creature favored by this world’s Celestial Mandate, embodying the world’s boundless power, and inherently maintaining the balance of the Primordial Celestial Realm.

Now, having forged the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body with Eight Desolates Spiritual Qi, Gao Xuan feared nothing.

Even if a Celestial Immortal descended, he could spar and compare strengths.

To Gao Xuan, condensing the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body wasn’t difficult. Because his Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body had already been deduced billions of times, tempered through various calamities to near perfection.

Only his innate basis was too weak, necessitating guiding Spiritual Qi to fortify the Dao Body.

Within the Eight Desolates, the Demon Emperors were either slain or fled; the Eight Desolates Spiritual Qi was at Gao Xuan’s disposal.

Gao Xuan did not stand on ceremony, extracting two to three percent of Spiritual Qi from each place. These Spiritual Qi were first absorbed by the Endless Celestial Dragon Claw, then transformed onto the Dao Body.

The Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body, every inch of muscle and bone, every drop of blood, every strand of hair, every sinew, every organ, was repeatedly tempered to the extreme by endless Spiritual Qi.

Human Race cultivators reaching the Earth Immortal Realm would transition to cultivating the Divine Soul. As long as the Divine Soul was strong enough, it could exist independently of the physical body, harnessing endless Power of Heaven and Earth.
