King of Assassins

Chapter 1275: Chapter 764: Major Events (Part 2)

Especially those pretty Fox Girls and Rabbit Girls; they all crowded enthusiastically around Gao Xuan, trying to pull in business.

These Fox Girls, Rabbit Girls, and Cat Girls were all scantily dressed, with sexy figures, warm attitudes, and soft, sweet voices. One by one they were like half-melted milk candies—once they stuck to you, it was hard to shake them off.

"Daoist Master, our inn is the cleanest and tidiest, with the best service. It’s your first time staying, so you can get thirty percent off..."

"Daoist Master, our pharmacy has all kinds of spiritual medicine, even Ginseng Kings that are a hundred thousand years old. Whatever you want to buy, we’ve got it."

"Spiritual Artifacts, Spiritual Objects, Ancient Secret Scripture, we have everything you could want..."

"Does Daoist Master want to cultivate the Great Joy Secret Technique? We have beautiful female instructors to accompany your practice, all kinds of races, and also handsome and burly men, everything is available..."

Ripples was in a good mood. Although she didn’t like this crowd of Little Demons clinging to them, she merely flicked her hand lightly and drove away the Little Demon girls who tried to get close.

Yet the Little Demon girls were reluctant to leave; they were like flies that had smelled blood, buzzing around Gao Xuan and refusing to disperse.

"I’ve given you face already. Scram."

Ripples grew a bit impatient and gave a low shout. Although she didn’t truly unleash her Sword Intent, this group of Little Demons still couldn’t withstand it.

The Demon girls’ faces instantly turned pale with fright, and they scattered in panic.

Four Seas City forbade private fighting, but the strong always had all sorts of privileges. If the weak didn’t know their place, they wouldn’t even know how they died.

The Demon girls were well-traveled and knowledgeable; seeing Ripples angry, they immediately understood this one was far too powerful, not someone they could provoke.

Being pestered by a bunch of Demon girls also drained Ripples of any interest in strolling around. She tugged on Gao Xuan’s sleeve and said, "Big Lord, this place is so vulgar and boring. Let’s find a place to stay first?"

Before Gao Xuan could speak, a beautiful young female Daoist walked over from the side. She wore a Profound Yellow Daoist Robe, its color and style quite similar to Gao Xuan’s Daoist Robe.

The female Daoist bowed with clasped hands. "Disciple Yu Ning under the Earth Element Daoist Monarch greets Daoist Monarch Gao."

Gao Xuan glanced at the female Daoist. Her features were beautiful yet dignified, full of the vigorous vitality of a young girl, and her aura was pure and limpid.

For an Earth Immortal Level powerhouse, looks and figure were just outer appearances. Earth Immortals perceived the Divine Soul of living beings; only the aura on the Divine Soul could not be faked.

The female Daoist before him truly looked very young; her real age would not exceed a hundred years.

For ordinary people, that age would be an old longevity star. But for powerful Cultivators, it was just the beginning of their cultivation path.

So this female Daoist was filled with genuine vitality from head to toe. This was also the sort of aura Earth Immortal powerhouses liked best.

This Yu Ning Daoist’s Cultivation had also reached Human Immortal Top Level, only a single step away from Earth Immortal.

With such talent, she would be top-tier even across the Nine Heavens. Without a doubt, she had to be a favored disciple of the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.

Gao Xuan gave a slight nod as a greeting, but did not speak.

No matter how heaven-defying the other party’s talent was, the gap between her and him was far too great. There was no need to be overly courteous to Yu Ning Daoist.

Yu Ning Daoist also felt this was only natural. If Gao Xuan treated her politely, she would instead feel uneasy.

"My master learned that Daoist Monarch Gao had arrived and specially ordered this junior to come and receive you."

Yu Ning Daoist said, "If Daoist Monarch has no other particular arrangements, please follow this junior to the Heaven-Reaching Garden."

She then added an explanation, "Most honored guests stay in the Heaven-Reaching Garden."

Gao Xuan nodded. "All right."

After respectfully saluting, Yu Ning Daoist took the lead in front. She summoned a cloud of auspicious clouds to carry Gao Xuan and the others straight toward the Heaven-Reaching Garden.

The so-called Heaven-Reaching Garden was actually located on Heaven-Reaching Peak outside Four Seas City.

Heaven-Reaching Peak was crowned with the Earth Element Dao Palace. The Dao Palace here was vast in scale, but only inner disciples could enter.

By convention, the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly was held in the Taiyi Hall of the Earth Element Dao Palace.

The Heaven-Reaching Garden was actually part of the Earth Element Dao Palace, but it was specifically used to receive honored guests, and also to make it convenient for them to attend the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly.

The Tri-Element Dharma Assembly was held once every thirty thousand years and was the number one Dharma assembly in the Primordial Celestial Realm. Its scale was extremely grand.

Ever since the Earth Element Daoist Monarch attained the Dao, he had always presided over the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly. It was precisely because he took first place in the Dao debate for ten consecutive sessions at the beginning that he gained the title of Number One Under Heaven.

After that, the Earth Element Daoist Monarch no longer personally took the stage to participate in Dao debates. However, many Earth Immortals were unconvinced and wanted to challenge the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.

The Earth Element Daoist Monarch never declined any challenger, yet he had never been defeated.

After several million years, the title of Number One Under Heaven for the Earth Element Daoist Monarch had been acknowledged by all Cultivators.

As proud as Yuan Qinglian was, although she did not think the Earth Element Daoist Monarch was stronger than her, she had to admit that she could not beat him. This "Number One Under Heaven" title, while a bit forced, was not really an exaggeration.

Under the Earth Element Daoist Monarch’s leadership, the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly had become more and more prosperous.

After being held so many times, the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly had naturally developed many rules and traditions, with fixed ceremonial procedures.

For honored guests like Gao Xuan, there were clearly defined rules regarding what level of treatment they should receive.

However, Yu Ning Daoist’s task of receiving Gao Xuan had been personally assigned by the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.

Yu Ning Daoist had only entered the sect less than a hundred years ago, yet she was deeply favored by the Earth Element Daoist Monarch. Although her Cultivation was not yet enough, she was sufficient to represent the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.

The Earth Element Daoist Monarch sending Yu Ning Daoist to receive Gao Xuan was also a form of tempering for her.

After all, a powerhouse like Gao Xuan was one of the very few in the Primordial Celestial Realm. Gao Xuan’s feat of sweeping across the Eight Desolates was truly unprecedented.

There were many Demon Emperors in the Eight Desolates, and the situation was intricate and complicated. Although the Earth Element Daoist Monarch was confident he could also sweep through the Eight Desolates, he would not do such a thing.

The Earth Element Daoist Monarch believed in the principle that Daoist Skill followed nature. A wild land like the Eight Desolates was originally prepared for Demon and Demon dwellers.

The Central Province was vast enough to contain countless Human Race Cultivators. There was no need to compete with Demons and Demons for territory.
