King of Assassins

At the Three Yuan Assembly, Gao Xuan dominated numerous unparalleled strong cultivators. Witnessed by many cultivators, Gao Xuan achieved an invincible reputation.

At this point, the Three Yuan Assembly was supposed to end.

However, Gao Xuan proposed that the Three Yuan Assembly continue, allowing various sects to exchange cultivation secret techniques, adopting strengths and compensating weaknesses.

While it was a proposal, no one dared to oppose.

Polar Star Monarch and Ten Suffering Bodhisattva both met miserable ends, proving that this Daoist Monarch Gao had a rather poor temper.

Whatever suggestions Daoist Monarch Gao had, it was best for them to obediently comply and cooperate.

Earth Element Daoist Monarch said nothing. His Dao practice had greatly improved, but he knew he was still not Gao Xuan’s opponent.

Besides, Gao Xuan merely wished to witness the secret techniques of each sect, which was not considered a significant issue.

The secret techniques of each sect were inherited from the Upper Three Realms, with a long lineage. Sects continuously innovated around their own secret techniques, making countless efforts.

For cultivators, even if they obtain secret techniques from other sects, it is difficult to start over. As for adopting strengths and compensating weaknesses, it can only be a theory.

The more distinguished the secret techniques are, the more complicated they become. Cultivators haven’t even figured out their own secret techniques, how can they adopt strengths and compensate weaknesses.

Of course, for a strong individual like him, listening to other sects’ secret techniques is never a bad thing.

Earth Element Daoist Monarch had previously looked down on other sects’ secret techniques, but now that Gao Xuan wanted to listen, he wouldn’t object.

Thus, the Three Yuan Assembly became a true forum for exchange.

Cyan Lotus Sword Sect, Ten Sufferings Temple, Pure Yang Sect, Shenxiao Sect, thousands of sects’ strong cultivators took turns presenting a fundamentally important secret technique.

Over a hundred thousand cultivators attending were seeing secret techniques from other sects for the first time. Moreover, thousands of secret techniques displayed truly dazzled the cultivators.

Some genius cultivators often have insights when they hear something marvelous, greatly advancing their cultivation. Some even break through bottlenecks.

For most mid- to low-level cultivators, this assembly was more like a spectacle to relish.

Although they could learn many secret techniques through rote memorization, lacking guidance in their own cultivation of these profound secret techniques can easily lead to problems.

Furthermore, even the weakest here are Spirit Immortals. Wanting to change cultivation methods is no easy task.

All things considered, for most cultivators, this Three Yuan Assembly was extremely lively, sufficing for them to brag about for a lifetime.

Only some powerful Earth Immortals and top-tier geniuses truly obtained benefits from the exchange.

Among them, Gao Xuan and Earth Element Daoist Monarch undoubtedly made the greatest gains.

Earth Element Daoist Monarch possessed the Earth Book, but having accumulated inadequately before, could only open the second twelve Chapters.

Stimulated by Gao Xuan, the Earth Book fully opened; Earth Element Daoist Monarch also witnessed the first volume of the Earth Book.

However, the Earth Book records countless information from the Primordial Celestial Realm. Despite his strength, Earth Element Daoist Monarch couldn’t decipher even a fraction of it.

Even so, Earth Element Daoist Monarch gained a deeper understanding of the Primordial Celestial Realm Laws. In comparison with various sects’ secret techniques, he benefited greatly.

Gao Xuan perused the first Chapter of the Earth Book’s first volume, learning much about the Innate Realm’s knowledge.

The other Chapters of the Earth Book were certainly valuable, with 99% containing information about the Primordial Celestial Realm. They were of no use to Gao Xuan.

To Gao Xuan, the first Chapter of the Earth Book was most valuable.

This Innate Realm knowledge was profound and hard to comprehend; even with Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada and Formless Nine Revolutions divine techniques, Gao Xuan couldn’t unravel its mysteries immediately.

By collecting the secret techniques of various sects, Gao Xuan could absorb strengths from numerous sources, thereby deducing various mystical aspects of the Innate.

All sects have a long lineage and noteworthy origins. Many are direct transmissions from Daluo Golden Immortals.

Even if these secret techniques were incomplete, they were sufficient for Gao Xuan to gain significantly.

A hundred days later, the Three Yuan Assembly concluded.

Gao Xuan returned to the Eight Desolates with Ripples and Ice Soul. Central Province is rich in outstanding individuals and spiritual strength, much more prosperous and flourishing than the Eight Desolates.

However, Central Province is ultimately the foundation of human race cultivators. Thousands of sects are intricately intertwined.

Although Gao Xuan isn’t afraid of these sects, he doesn’t wish to exploit spiritual energy from the human race.

The vastness of the Eight Desolates suffices for him.

Gao Xuan found a place with the most abundant spiritual qi in the Eight Desolates, entering closed cultivation and not emerging.

Gao Xuan didn’t rush to analyze the various mysteries of the Innate Realm. After all, the difference in realms is too great, and it’s better to proceed as far as possible down the current path before considering others.

In his battle with Yuan Qinglian, he realized he was lacking in the way of the sword.

The Endless Celestial Dragon Claw, Celestial Dragon Eye, Jun Heaven Star God Wheel, and other divine artifacts are ultimately external objects. No matter how powerful they are, they can’t assist him in proving the Dao of Celestial Immortal. Nor can they help him prove the Dao of Daluo Golden Immortal.

To prove the Dao of Celestial Immortal, he must first master one of the Three Thousand Great Dao laws.

The so-called mastery is actually having the deepest understanding of this Great Dao Law, capable of unleashing the greatest power.

Celestial Immortals monopolize the Upper Three Realms, not allowing new Celestial Immortals to appear. Their main means is not permitting any beings to refine Celestial Immortal Laws.

Gao Xuan has two paths to prove the Dao of Celestial Immortal: One is to advance further the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body.

Gao Xuan actually has doubts about this.

Formless Nine Revolutions calculations show that advancing another layer in the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body requires an extraordinarily terrifying amount of spiritual energy.

Simply put, at least ten Celestial Realms worth of spiritual energy would be necessary.

The Upper Three Realms have abundant spiritual energy, but wanting to absorb so much would probably attract a swarm of Celestial Immortals for an attack.

Aside from the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body, for Gao Xuan, only the Sword Dao has the best chance to prove the Dao of Celestial Immortal.

In the Five Elements Yin and Yang Method, Gao Xuan’s cultivation is at the Grandmaster Level. However, he has never been particularly skilled in magic.

Grandmaster Level cultivation is a result of forced accumulation. Moreover, the Yin Yang Five Elements path has too many powerful Celestial Immortal enemies. If he were to pursue this path, he wouldn’t know how many adversaries he would encounter.
