Chapter 1209: Chapter 745: Sword Shatters the Bewildering Heavens
"Daoist Monarch, these Demon Emperors are all highly skilled in divine techniques, especially the Nine-headed Dragon King who excels in battle. The highest strategy is to destroy their plans, the four Demon Emperors hold different intentions in their hearts, why not first sow discord among them, then break them one by one..."
The Nine-headed Bird was truly afraid, he boldly reminded Gao Xuan not to just charge in recklessly. At least use some tactics or choose a target first.
Challenging four Demon Emperors at once would force them to join forces, which was not wise.
The Nine-headed Bird had lived comfortably for thousands of years and didn’t want Gao Xuan to perish due to arrogance.
On the other hand, his life was in Gao Xuan’s hands. If Gao Xuan died, he likely wouldn’t survive either.
Despite being close with the Nine-headed Dragon King before, he couldn’t concern himself with old friendships at this time and had to side with Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan smiled, the Nine-headed Bird is indeed clever, knowing which side to stand on.
He asked, "According to you, what should be done?"
The Nine-headed Bird thought for a moment and said, "The White Bone Demon Emperor is arrogant, the Celestial Fox is cunning, the Nine-headed Dragon King likes to fight, and Heaven-Confusing is mysterious. According to my thoughts, the first to kill would be Heaven-Confusing."
"Hahaha..."
Gao Xuan laughed heartily, the Nine-headed Bird truly understood his mind, knowing he intended to kill all four Demon Emperors, saying to first kill Heaven-Confusing, which deeply resonated with him.
Of course, these strategies are minor, at most saving some trouble. Due to the special situation of Earth Immortals, even though several Earth Immortals might want to join forces, it is difficult to gather together. Who would leave their territory to help others?
The risks here are too high, Demon Emperors don’t have such deep friendships, nor the trust.
To kill an Earth Immortal Demon Emperor, fundamentally, it’s about having sufficient powerful strength.
Gao Xuan then asked, "Why kill Heaven-Confusing first?"
"Heaven-Confusing Demon Emperor acts secretively and unpredictably. I feel he is most likely to help other Demon Emperors."
The Nine-headed Bird has extensive connections, with some understanding of these Demon Emperors, he analyzed: "White Bone is arrogant, disdainful to join forces with others. Celestial Fox is cunning, doesn’t trust other Demon Emperors. Nine-headed Dragon King is war-like, hence most arrogant. Even if all other three Demon Emperors were killed, he wouldn’t be afraid. He’s not likely to help others..."
Gao Xuan nodded, the Nine-headed Bird’s analysis had some sense.
"Your approach is good, let’s do it. However, letters must be sent to the four, can’t execute without informing."
The Nine-headed Bird found sending letters beforehand completely redundant. But Gao Xuan was the boss, his opinion had been offered, and now he couldn’t speak further.
After exiting the main hall, the Nine-headed Bird gathered his subordinates and found four fellows he normally didn’t get along with and sent them to deliver the letters.
Anyway, Demon Emperors were hot-tempered, upon seeing this letter would surely rage on the spot.
Even the most cunning Celestial Fox couldn’t tolerate such insulting words.
The fate of several messengers was obvious.
In the main hall of Qianqiu Palace, Ripples looked worriedly at Gao Xuan, "Master, are you really going to war with the four Demon Emperors?"
"It’s not warfare, but annihilation."
Gao Xuan clarified.
Ripples’ bright eyes widened, full of puzzlement, what was the difference?
Gao Xuan pinched Ripples’ cheek and smiled, "They’re too weak, unworthy of fighting me. They can only be killed by me."
Ripples looked at Gao Xuan with great curiosity and asked, "Master, after secluding for three thousand years, have you realized the Dao as an Earth Immortal?"
Ripples was truly curious about this, achieving the Dao as an Earth Immortal should invoke numerous phenomena, shaking the heavens and earth.
How could Gao Xuan show no signs, not even invoking Thunder Tribulation?
Gao Xuan explained to Ripples, "Achieving the Dao as an Earth Immortal mainly involves gathering the Power of Heaven and Earth to condense the Earth Immortal Law, this is a process of accumulation and progression. It doesn’t invoke celestial tribulations, nor requires creating sensational phenomena..."
Gao Xuan gained much during three thousand years of seclusion.
Firstly, he crafted the Great Leiyin True Words, merging the Heaven-Flipping Golden Seal and Thunder Sound Pearl into the Celestial Sound Daoist Hat, refining the Celestial Sound Daoist Hat into an Earth Artifact.
The quality of Celestial Sound Daoist Hat itself is mediocre, just matches the Great Leiyin True Words, aligns with the Thunder Sound Pearl. Gao Xuan uses the Celestial Sound Daoist Hat as the core to condense the Earth Immortal Law.
Shi Wanqiu condensed the Earth Immortal Law into the Heaven-Flipping Golden Seal, for better control over this territory.
Gao Xuan condenses the Earth Immortal Law into the Celestial Sound Daoist Hat, refining it into an Earth Artifact. This thus decreases control over this territory by about thirty to fifty percent.
The benefit is being able to carry the Celestial Sound Daoist Hat everywhere, no matter where you go, inside the Celestial Sound Daoist Hat is its own world, exercising Earth Immortal level power.
Of course, this type of Earth Artifact ultimately doesn’t compare to the Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth driven by an Earth Immortal.
If just wanting to guard one’s home, obviously the Heaven-Flipping Golden Seal is more suitable, better at deploying Earth Immortal power.
Gao Xuan aims to dominate the Primordial Celestial Realm, naturally can’t stick to Shi Wanqiu’s small territory.
The Celestial Sound Daoist Hat borrows the Power of Heaven and Earth to condense into an Earth Artifact, only then can it play its role better.
Gao Xuan has cultivated for many years, gaining his own understanding of the Great Leiyin True Words, even without Shi Wanqiu’s innate Celestial Lion Roar divine technique. The Celestial Sound Daoist Hat in his hand is ten times stronger than Shi Wanqiu’s Celestial Lion Roar.
This is because Gao Xuan’s realm is higher than Shi Wanqiu, and his foundation is deeper than Shi Wanqiu. This marks the huge gap between them.
It took Gao Xuan a thousand years to refine the Celestial Sound Daoist Hat into an Earth Artifact.
In the second millennium, Gao Xuan re-sacrificed the Endless Celestial Dragon Claw.
Gao Xuan also learned a lot from the Ten Thousand Eyes Demon Emperor, gaining great inspiration.
The Ten Thousand Eyes Demon Emperor’s Multi-Eyed Divine Techniques are tremendously powerful, especially the Golden Eye and Eye of Ten Thousand Poisons.
The Golden Eye contains Celestial Killer Golden Light, fierce and domineering, capable of breaking myriad laws. The Eye of Ten Thousand Poisons is even stronger, able to absorb and transform all kinds of toxic elements in heaven and earth.
