Chapter 1285: Chapter 767: Campaign
Nearly a hundred thousand cultivators gathered in Taiyi Hall, and as soon as Gao Xuan entered the hall, he stunned all the cultivators.
In truth, Gao Xuan’s aura was deep and restrained, rarely exhibiting such an overwhelming presence.
But as he walked in, all the cultivators present focused their divine senses on him. Among the near hundred thousand cultivators, there were hundreds of Earth Immortals.
Due to Gao Xuan’s notorious reputation, most cultivators harbored hostility toward him. This hostility in turn stimulated Gao Xuan’s power.
Gao Xuan didn’t need to actively unleash his power; merely the natural evocation from the numerous cultivators prompted his aura to grow increasingly majestic.
By the time he reached the center of the hall, he was already like the bright moon in the sky, illuminating the Nine Heavens with flawless brilliance.
Although the cultivators present were many, they were completely overshadowed by Gao Xuan’s presence, like fireflies under the bright moon, numerous yet insignificant.
Even formidable figures like Fairy Meng Die and Qin Feilian were completely suppressed by Gao Xuan at this moment, able only to look up to him.
This suppression was different from what Jin Xiang exerted earlier. They had merely avoided confronting Jin Xiang by force and knew their power was inferior, thus remaining restrained.
Gao Xuan’s presence was high above the Nine Heavens from the outset, so elevated that they could neither touch nor compare.
The immeasurable gap made Qin Feilian and Fairy Meng Die feel a strong unease.
As Gao Xuan made his way forward, Taiyi Hall fell silent among the hundred thousand cultivators, the hall was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Yu Ning Daoist, who accompanied Gao Xuan, was also amazed. She had been specifically responsible for hosting Gao Xuan in recent days and felt that Gao Xuan’s speech was extraordinary and as gentle as jade, completely different from the rumored ferocity.
Over the past few days, Yu Ning Daoist found herself quite fond of Gao Xuan. This was not a romantic affection, but a cultivator’s respect for a forerunner.
Only at this moment did Yu Ning Daoist deeply feel the power within Gao Xuan.
The hostile and malicious divine thoughts of numerous cultivators were instantly completely suppressed. The stronger the resistance, the harsher the suppression.
In the blink of an eye, Gao Xuan swept through the hundred thousand cultivators with his naturally emanating presence, and none could resist.
Though no true battle occurred, Gao Xuan had already completely crushed all the cultivators present, proving that the two sides were simply not on the same level.
Realizing this point, Yu Ning Daoist felt somewhat excited. With personal power overwhelming all cultivators, yet remaining understated. Such divine techniques were truly unparalleled!
No, that cannot be said as unparalleled. There is her Master, Yuan Qinglian, Ten Suffering Bodhisattva, Polar Star Monarch...
These few could at least contend with Gao Xuan.
Thinking thus, Yu Ning Daoist felt a bit uneasy. Gao Xuan and Yuan Qinglian were beyond her imagination, making any effective judgment impossible.
Such thoughts were purely self-consolation.
While Gao Xuan’s presence overshadowed the hundred thousand cultivators, the Earth Element Daoist Monarch seated below Taiyi rose to greet him, taking the lead with a nod: "Fellow Daoist Gao, a pleasure, a pleasure."
Gao Xuan nodded in return: "Greetings, Earth Element Daoist Monarch."
The Earth Element Daoist Monarch chuckled: "I’ve long heard of Daoist’s Celestial Immortal’s appearance, and seeing it today, it’s indeed extraordinary. Meeting such a person in the Primordial Celestial Realm fills me with joy."
The Earth Element Daoist Monarch prided himself as the master of the Primordial Celestial Realm, naturally assuming the role of host.
Among the hundreds of Earth Immortals present, none dared to stand and question the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.
"Daoist Monarch flatters me," Gao Xuan humbly replied.
The Earth Element Daoist Monarch waved his duster: "Fellow Daoist Gao, please be seated here."
With a wave of the duster, two golden dragon chairs appeared side by side on the vacant floor.
The Earth Element Daoist Monarch, as host, took the lead in sitting, and Gao Xuan followed suit.
The space where the two were seated naturally became isolated from the other cultivators in the hall.
The aura naturally emanating from Gao Xuan was also isolated. The hundred thousand cultivators in the hall returned to normal.
"This guy is formidable!"
"So powerful!"
"Truly terrifying..."
A few geniuses like Hua Feiye had their arrogance entirely wiped out at this moment, each donning a face marked with lingering fear.
They were completely suppressed by Gao Xuan’s aura earlier, no form of resistance worked. If Gao Xuan desired, he could have crushed them on the spot.
The feeling of having life and death controlled by another made the geniuses both humiliated and frightened.
Their previous open and covert struggles seemed like child’s play in comparison.
Yue Honglian seemed dejected, facing Jin Xiang she could muster the courage to challenge the opponent. But against Gao Xuan, she felt utterly powerless.
It seemed that no matter how much cultivation and struggle, it was fruitless.
Listening to the geniuses’ discussions, Yue Honglian had no interest in responding. She now wished to escape as far as possible, yes, she wanted to be alone.
"Don’t lose heart, you’re not even at the Earth Immortal realm. How can you compare with him?"
The White Ape Lord scratched a few white hairs on his cheek reassuringly: "Once you reach the Earth Immortal realm, you’ll be qualified to spar with Gao Xuan."
Yue Honglian couldn’t help asking: "Do I have a chance to win?"
The White Ape Lord contemplated then shook his head: "Probably not."
Yue Honglian rolled her eyes at the White Ape Lord: "You really know how to comfort people."
"It’s no use lying to you."
The White Ape Lord sighed, "It’s been a thousand years, Gao Xuan has grown stronger. He can now stand shoulder to shoulder with your master. This guy is truly terrifying."
"Impossible."
Yue Honglian, despite witnessing Gao Xuan’s might, retained blind faith in her master.
She said resolutely, "My master is invincible!"
"Alright."
The White Ape Lord didn’t want to argue this with Yue Honglian, he pondered then said: "Gao Xuan dares to attend the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly, indeed brazen. Is he not afraid of being besieged?"
