Chapter 1280: Chapter 765: Alliance (Part 3)
Anyway, he could do it or not, but the Polar Star Monarch was determined to achieve it.
The Polar Star Monarch said, "Gao Xuan has a Ziwei Star Fate Grid, which is very important to me."
As soon as Gao Xuan activates the Ziwei Star, he will be discovered by Ten Sufferings, so there’s no point in hiding it. The Polar Star Monarch could only speak straightforwardly.
The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva believed it too; the Ziwei Star is the lord of all stars, involving it explains why the Polar Star Monarch is so anxious.
As for what the Polar Star Monarch plans to do with the Ziwei Star Fate Grid, that is irrelevant to him.
The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva asked, "What is Earth Element’s attitude?"
The Polar Star Monarch shook his head, "The Earth Element always wants to uphold justice across the world, he is too arrogant. Gao Xuan’s cultivation is incredibly strong, by no means inferior to ours. To host justice for Gao Xuan, does Earth Element have that capacity?"
The Polar Star Monarch was actually very dissatisfied with Earth Element’s condescending attitude. These words he could only share with Ten Sufferings.
"Earth Element always considers himself superior, treating the Primordial Celestial Realm as his own."
The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva also harbors some resentment towards Earth Element, now he can finally express his dissatisfaction with the Polar Star Monarch.
The Polar Star Monarch continued, "Earth Element may hold himself high, but he will not help Gao Xuan. The two of us joining forces, we can definitely eliminate Gao Xuan."
"And Yuan Qinglian?"
The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva expressed some doubts, "This woman is eccentric and strange, what if she suddenly steps in to help Gao Xuan?"
Though the possibility is very slim, it’s not entirely impossible. If Yuan Qinglian suddenly goes mad and helps Gao Xuan, things could spiral out of control.
Gao Xuan is far from the Eight Desolates, this is the best opportunity to strike. Once Gao Xuan returns to the Eight Desolates, even if they join forces, they might not be able to eliminate him.
Therefore, once they act, they must not give Gao Xuan any chance.
The Polar Star Monarch pondered and said, "Indeed, we must guard against this. I have a good relationship with Yuan Qinglian, I’ll first communicate with her. She always keeps her word. As long as she agrees, she won’t interfere with our matter."
"That’s right, you must explain clearly to Yuan Qinglian beforehand."
The Ten Suffering Bodhisattva added, "Remember to bring those Demon Emperors along. If they want revenge, they have to exert some effort."
"No problem. They’re just a bunch of worthless beings, whether they live or die is not important."
The Polar Star Monarch also looked down on the Demon Emperors, if it weren’t for wanting to deal with Gao Xuan, he wouldn’t be traveling with the Xiankong Ancestor and Celestial Corpse.
The two powerful figures discussed some further cooperation details, and the Polar Star Monarch then left.
The Polar Star Monarch then went to the Lotus Garden to find Yuan Qinglian.
The Lotus Garden was small, with only dozens of cyan lotus flowers in the lotus pool. These lotuses stood elegantly, untouched by any dust, all primal exotic species.
The Polar Star Monarch smelled a faint fragrant lotus scent, and his spirit was invigorated. Such spiritual flowers are indeed treasures.
Yuan Qinglian was seated in the pavilion within the lotus pool, holding a paintbrush and painting lotuses.
At her level of cultivation, she could paint all the details with a brush. However, she wasn’t trying to copy this scene onto paper, she was capturing the spirit of the lotus.
This greatly tests the brushwork. Although she could grasp the spirit of the lotus, she couldn’t express it on paper.
For Yuan Qinglian, this was also a form of cultivation. The day she can depict all facets of spirit she’s seen and sensed, it would indicate further advancement in her swordsmanship.
Her swordsmanship is so sublime, trying to express it with a brush is akin to using a leaf to bear a mountain, almost impossible.
Even celestial immortals cannot achieve it.
Yuan Qinglian only uses this method to hone her mindset, not expecting to accomplish something concrete.
Seeing the Polar Star Monarch enter, Yuan Qinglian corner of her mouth slightly curled: "What’s this about Star Monarch coming to visit, just say what you want."
"Such greeting for an old friend is rather rude."
The Polar Star Monarch had repeatedly offered protection to disciples of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect, Yuan Qinglian had to acknowledge this favor. Their relationship could be described as familiar.
Of course, the Polar Star Monarch was well aware that Yuan Qinglian’s sword heart was bright and clear, filled solely with Sword Dao, nothing else.
The so-called friendship was but a shallow connection.
But even a little connection was enough.
The Polar Star Monarch knew Yuan Qinglian’s disposition, so he directly said, "Daoist friend, I’ve come with a request."
"What is it?"
Yuan Qinglian seemed a bit surprised since knowing the Polar Star Monarch for so long, this was his first time asking her for something. She set the brush on the stand, keen to hear his request.
The Polar Star Monarch stated, "We plan to kill Gao Xuan, asking only for you not to interfere."
"You and Ten Sufferings?"
Yuan Qinglian’s bright eyes moved, immediately guessing who the Polar Star Monarch would partner with.
"That’s right."
The Polar Star Monarch didn’t bother discussing worldly righteousness or demon-slaying; such arguments wouldn’t sway Yuan Qinglian.
"We’re old friends, just asking for your non-involvement. How about it?"
Yuan Qinglian smirked: "You and Ten Sufferings are indeed amusing, surely I wouldn’t help Gao Xuan? You actually came to me for this. Truly, hahaha..."
As Yuan Qinglian laughed heartily, the Polar Star Monarch wasn’t upset; he asked, "So, are you agreeing then?"
"Why not ask me to help?"
Yuan Qinglian inquired.
The Polar Star Monarch asked, "Would you help us?"
"Certainly not. Haha..."
Yuan Qinglian answered without hesitation. She thought for a moment and said, "Naturally, I would not help Gao Xuan either."
She added expectantly, "I’ve long heard of Gao Xuan’s unmatched divine techniques, invincible. I’m eager to witness your battle! Such a Tri-Element Dharma Assembly will be interesting."
Yuan Qinglian asked again, "Earth Element won’t be joining you, right?"
"The Earth Element Daoist Monarch will sufficiently host justice."
Polar Star Monarch thanked Yuan Qinglian sincerely, "With your assurance, I’m relieved."
Yuan Qinglian also smiled and bowed, "Then I wish you swift success, and victory on your banners."
The Polar Star Monarch laughed aloud, waved away, and left.
Exiting Heaven-Reaching Garden, the Polar Star Monarch saw Celestial Corpse and Xiankong Ancestor waiting at the entrance.
These two were extremely astute; seeing the Polar Star Monarch so cheerful, they knew the matter was about to succeed. Both great demons were excited.
The deed is truly about to be done!
The two Demon Emperors bowed to the Polar Star Monarch, keeping their composure, knowing this wasn’t the place for lengthy discussions.
The Polar Star Monarch waved his sleeve, leading the two Demon Emperors back to his palace.
The palace was protected by multiple arrays and was his domain, absolutely leak-proof.
Only then did the Polar Star Monarch speak to the two Demon Emperors: "I’ve explained it to Daoist Ten Sufferings, and he agreed to help host justice. However, you two are the ones holding a grudge; you’ll need to appear together to denounce Gao Xuan and contribute to the effort..."
Celestial Corpse hesitated a bit, wondering why they still needed to contribute. Gao Xuan is vicious and unmatched, one wrong move could cost them their lives.
Xiankong Ancestor was decisive, saying, "Rest assured, Star Monarch, concerning our future, we will certainly give our utmost effort."
"Alright, organize yourselves. When the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly convenes, I’ll take you to demand justice from Gao Xuan!"
The Polar Star Monarch was confident of victory in this battle. Though he wasn’t outright elated, his words carried an air of certainty.
Celestial Corpse and Xiankong Ancestor were moved by the Polar Star Monarch’s demeanor, their confidence soared as they promised earnestly.
Celestial Corpse and Xiankong Ancestor hurriedly returned to the chess pavilion, gathering a group of Demon Emperors for a secret meeting.
Knowing that things were progressing smoothly, many Demon Emperors were delighted. Hearing they needed to make an effort, the Demon Emperors felt some hesitation and unease.
Hundreds of Demon Emperors had met their end at Gao Xuan’s hands; hearing his name made their hearts quake.
Facing Gao Xuan directly to seek justice, many Demon Emperors were quite apprehensive.
Celestial Corpse and Xiankong Ancestor loudly rebuked and assured them that Earth Element Daoist Monarch would host the assembly, ensuring Gao Xuan wouldn’t cause harm.
The Demon Emperors were reassured and finally agreed.
After convincing numerous Demon Emperors, Xiankong Ancestor hurried back to report to the Polar Star Monarch.
The Polar Star Monarch was also satisfied; although the Demon Emperors were worthless, they were numerous, not to be underestimated.
This smooth union meant the great endeavor would succeed!
Watching the crimson sun slowly set in the west, the Polar Star Monarch couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction, filled with anticipation for the upcoming Tri-Element Dharma Assembly!
