Chapter 1211: Chapter 745: Sword Shatters the Maze of Heaven (Part 3)
The Cyan Lotus Sword Technique has become even more sublime, surpassing the Cyan Leaf Sword at the Swordsmanship level.
Gao Xuan has been cultivating the Sword Dao for hundreds of years. Although he hasn’t been able to refine a new Sword Intent, his Swordsmanship has advanced by leaps and bounds.
Having reached this point, Gao Xuan clearly feels that his Sword Dao has reached the highest standard of Earth Immortal, faintly touching the Celestial Immortal level.
Unfortunately, the Hongyi Sword’s situation is quite special, and he doesn’t have enough Spiritual Qi to enhance the Hongyi Sword.
It is precisely because of the Hongyi Sword’s uniqueness that he can fight an Earth Immortal. Coupled with his unparalleled Sword Dao, it isn’t impossible to slay an Earth Immortal.
As for the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body, it has long reached its limits, only waiting to absorb enough Spiritual Qi.
According to Gao Xuan’s estimations, there are seventy-two Demon Emperors in the Southern Barbarian Wilderness. Sweeping through the Southern Barbarian Wilderness should support him in refining the Earth Immortal Level Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body.
For the Primordial Celestial Realm, the Southern Barbarian Wilderness is merely a remote area. Powerful Earth Immortals wouldn’t pay attention to this place.
Moreover, the Southern Barbarian Wilderness holds all Demon Emperors. These demons, with their Innate Divine Techniques, have carved a bloody path among thousands of demons to become Demon Emperors.
Their biggest problem is having no backing. Therefore, killing as many as needed won’t cause major trouble.
Shi Wanqiu, although somewhat renowned, has a sect in the Upper Three Realms. Why would they care about his affairs?
Gao Xuan underwent closed-door training for three thousand years, having prepared all plans before emerging.
Now, he is about to implement his ambitious plan step by step.
Gao Xuan initially decided to first sweep across four Demon Emperors. No matter how much they toil, they are no match for him.
However, the Nine-headed Bird convinced him. Saving some effort is always beneficial.
Besides, his opponents are Demon Emperors. Even with complete assurance, there is no need to be arrogant.
After three thousand years of closed-door training, Gao Xuan’s cultivation has greatly advanced, unconsciously making him slightly restless.
The Nine-headed Bird dispatched a few messengers willing to sacrifice themselves, among whom was Crazy Eagle, sent to deliver a message to the Heaven-Confusing Demon Emperor.
Gao Xuan eradicated all Great Demon Kings and Great Demons of Qianqiu Palace and also provided opportunities for other demons to rise.
Over these three thousand years, although the Cloud Forest Sea and Cloud Light Mountain Range lost forty percent of their power, this is inconsequential to the beings here.
Because beings can absorb very little Power, whether forty percent more or less makes no difference to them.
Only upon reaching the Demon Emperor level will the difference be truly felt, greatly impacting them.
If it were Shi Wanqiu, he would never sacrifice forty percent of the realm’s power permanently to refine an Earth Artifact.
Crazy Eagle is merely a newly emerged Great Demon King over these three thousand years, having passed through ten Celestial Tribulations. Lacking the lessons of a Great Demon King, Crazy Eagle is very confident in his Power and looks down on the Nine-headed Bird.
Of course, Crazy Eagle is not foolish; he conceals his disdain in his heart. Little does he know that his minor thoughts have been seen through by the Nine-headed Bird.
When there isn’t any opportunity, it doesn’t matter. Having an opportunity, the Nine-headed Bird naturally wants to take Crazy Eagle down a peg.
Crazy Eagle is completely unaware. Having never left the Cloud Light Mountain Range, he is excited to go to deliver a message at the Heaven-Confusing Mengze Lake.
The Mengze Lake is separated from the Cloud Light Mountain Range by the Ten Thousand Eyes Mountain Range, but Crazy Eagle has the Ten Thousand Miles Golden Light Talisman from the Nine-headed Bird, allowing him to fly ten thousand miles with each wing stroke.
After flying for most of the day, Crazy Eagle saw a vast expanse of water ahead.
Crazy Eagle’s eyesight is excellent, capable of seeing thousands of miles away. However, this vast lake surface stretches endlessly.
Seeing this scene, Crazy Eagle feels his mind and heart open up.
The sky is also boundlessly vast, yet the sky only contains clouds, winds, and the sun, moon, and stars, overly barren and grand.
The boundless lake water is different, where the water flows and ripples with abundant life everywhere.
The enormous Mengze Lake holds countless living beings and contains abundant Spiritual Qi, which is unparalleled by the empty sky.
Visiting Mengze Lake for the first time, Crazy Eagle finds navigation far too difficult.
Following the Nine-headed Bird’s instructions, he takes out a Flame Talisman and activates it. A flash of red flame directly merges into the boundless lake water.
After a while, a thick fog suddenly rises from the lake surface.
The thick fog engulfs Crazy Eagle, who feels the world spinning and knows something isn’t right. Yet, he doesn’t dare struggle.
After all, this is the domain of the Heaven-Confusing Demon Emperor, and he is here as a messenger. He must not be presumptuous.
When the thick fog gradually dissipates, Crazy Eagle finds himself inside a massive palace.
The palace is built of crystal, and the sunlight passing through its crystal dome is diffused into streams of seven-colored light.
The entire palace is awash with these seven-colored lights flowing like water, creating a splendid and fantastical effect.
In the depths of the palace lies a giant jade bed, upon which Crazy Eagle sees a figure with an elegant posture languidly reclining, with long hair cascading down, making the face unclear.
Under his gorgeous robe, a pair of jade feet peek out, appearing extremely delicate and beautiful.
Crazy Eagle’s gaze lingers momentarily on those jade feet. Knowing well the other is the Heaven-Confusing Demon Emperor, he couldn’t resist taking a couple more glances.
"Heh, some courage. Come over and let me have a look..."
The Heaven-Confusing Demon Emperor extends a hand from his wide sleeve, beckoning Crazy Eagle with a finger.
Crazy Eagle notices the long fingers are painted with bright red nail polish, a color so enchanting that he involuntarily swallows his saliva, unable to refrain from stepping forward.
"Sit."
A smile appears on the face behind the Heaven-Confusing Demon Emperor’s long hair as he gently pats the jade bed, gesturing for Crazy Eagle to sit.
Crazy Eagle has a sense that this feels very dangerous, but he can’t help himself and sits down on the jade bed.
The Heaven-Confusing Demon Emperor’s lips curl into an upward smile. He softly asks, "What has Gao Xuan Daoist sent you here for?"
