Chapter 347: Battle of the Celebration

Jinxiao Peak, Jinxiao Palace.

The Jinxiao Palace, built with golden castor wood, is magnificent and exceptionally gorgeous, vast and grand, with an extraordinary atmosphere.

Because of this, most external celebration ceremonies are held in the Jinxiao Palace.

Yun Changfeng, the Taoist Priest of Qianbu, was in charge of presiding over the ceremony. According to the rules of the sect, he led the sages to kowtow to the ancestor, and bestowed upon him the Dharma cap, robe, shoes, sword, and the golden Divine Sky Order.

The ceremony was simple but solemn, with practitioners from the Thirty-Six Sects of Qingyun Dao, Wanling Sect, and Tongtian Sword Sect watching the ceremony.

Gao Xian wore a fishtail crown, a gorgeous purple robe, and a purple ribbon. He had a calm expression, bright and gentle eyes, and was generous and calm, yet also somewhat unrestrained and ethereal, with a somewhat celestial demeanor.

Among the people watching the ceremony were many of Gao Xian’s friends and acquaintances. Zhu Qinnan stood next to Yun Taihao, watching the ceremony in the front row.

Zhu Qinnan looked at Gao Xian, who was so radiant and like a god, and she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

It seems like it was just yesterday that she and Gao Xian teamed up to lure the evil spirit to kill Zhu Hongtu, and everything is still vivid in her mind.

There was also the killing of Zhu Changsheng. In that battle, Gao Xian used his Qi training body to defeat the Foundation Establishment warrior, which completely changed the fate of both of them.

If she was the one helping Gao Xian at the beginning, then it was Gao Xian who led her forward bravely afterwards.

Zhu Qiniang used to think that Gao Xian was very capable and would achieve great things in the future. But she never expected that in just twenty years, Gao Xian had already formed a third-grade golden elixir!

At this time, guests from all directions gathered together, and Gao Xian was the center of everyone's attention. He was so handsome and radiant that people were afraid to look directly at him.

A forty-something upper third-grade golden elixir cultivator, just this level of cultivation itself was already better than tens of millions of cultivators from the thirty-six Qingyun sects, not to mention what he would achieve in the future.

At this moment, I don’t know how many people admire and respect Gao Xian, and I don’t know how many people are jealous and envious of Gao Xian.

After this grand event, Gao Xian's name will spread and he will become a famous Jindan Zhenren.

What a great honor and what a majestic scene it was. Zhu Qinnan was so excited watching from the side that her hands were even shaking with excitement.

Yun Taihao, who was standing by, keenly noticed Zhu Qinnan's abnormality. He could understand her slight loss of composure.

Indeed, he knew that Gao Xian would achieve something, but he never expected it to come so soon!

Gao Xiancai had already stood in the top ranks of Golden Elixir True Immortals when he formed the third-grade golden elixir.

Although he had been in the Golden Core stage for three hundred years and was about to advance to the late Golden Core stage, he was still far behind Gao Xian.

To be precise, in the eyes of others, he is completely incomparable to Gao Xian.

There is a world of difference between the lower three grades of golden elixir and the upper three grades of golden elixir.

Not to mention that Gao Xian had defeated the Golden Core when he was building his foundation, and even killed a demon cultivator in the late Golden Core stage alone.

In other words, it would not be difficult for Gao Xian to kill him when he was building his foundation. Now that he has formed a third-grade golden elixir, how powerful he should be!

Yun Taihao felt very complicated when he thought about this.

He used Gao Xian as bait in the beginning, and although he made some amends later, I'm afraid this kid still remembers it.

He knew Gao Xian quite well. Although he looked bright and cheerful, he was actually sinister and vicious.

Qingyun Sect's Jindan Zhenren Shui Yuying and Gao Xian had a feud, and Gao Xian secretly killed them both. The Shui family was so powerful, but they couldn't do anything to Gao Xian.

On the contrary, Gao Xian is getting better and better, and now he has formed a third-grade golden elixir.

Yun Taihao is actually very conceited, but he has to admire Gao Xian's scheming and tactics.

After only a dozen years in Qingyun Sect, he has already entered the core of Qingyun Sect and may even become a Yuanying Zhenjun in the future! However, Gao Xian is powerful, but not that bad. This can be seen from his treatment of Qi Niang, Zhou Ye and other people around him.

Yun Taihao turned his eyes and saw the old men Zhou Ye and Daniu standing in the front row.

Daniu, a mediocre talent, actually achieved the foundation. It can be seen how much effort Gao Xian invested in him! It's such a waste...

Zhou Ye was wearing a clean robe today, his old face glowing with excitement. He was also a little reserved, obviously not used to standing in front of a group of Jindan Zhenren and foundation-building cultivators.

This old man has obviously aged a lot and probably doesn't have many years left to live.

Yun Taihao had no feeling about this. He had lived for hundreds of years, and people around him died one after another.

He just felt sorry for the old man. If he hadn't done that, he would be Gao Xian's father-in-law now.

Having said that, if Zhou Ye had become Gao Xian's father-in-law, Gao Xian might not have achieved what he has today.

Everyone is saying that Gao Xian has found Yun Qingxuan's thigh.

This was just a rumor, and Yun Taihao didn't believe it. He had dealt with Yun Qingxuan twice before, and knew what kind of person he was. He didn't care about any romantic relationship.

It was not until Yun Qingxuan seriously injured Zhang Changzhen of Xuanzhen Sect that Yun Taihao believed that Yun Qingxuan and Gao Xian must have an affair.

If not for this, with Yun Qingxuan's personality, how could he help Gao Xian to beat someone up?

Yun Taihao couldn't help but glance at Yun Qingxuan who was standing in the front. This female cultivator was dressed in fresh green and had simple and delicate features. Her expression was calm, but her crystal clear eyes were looking at Gao Xian, showing a rare seriousness.

The fact that this person, who seemed to be not concerned about anything, looked at Gao Xian so seriously was very telling.

Yun Taihao didn't dare to look at him any longer. He watched Gao Xian grow up, feeling deeply moved, but also less in awe because of his familiarity with him.

As for Yun Qingxuan, he was really in awe of him.

Yun Taihao turned his eyes and suddenly saw a woman in the front. She was extremely beautiful, wearing a green skirt and a jade hairpin stuck diagonally in her hair.

Her figure is graceful and light, and even when she stands there motionless she gives people a sense of swaying beauty.

Among the monks in robes, the woman was as beautiful as a red flower in the grass.

Especially those bright blue eyes, which have such a captivating charm.

Unfortunately, this woman kept staring at Gao Xian, her eyes filled with deep joy.

Yun Taihao knew this woman, Yan Feiyin, a foundation-building cultivator of the Wanling Sect. Her spirit beast was a three-tailed celestial fox, which indeed had a charm that could captivate people's souls.

Such a gorgeous beauty actually has an affair with Gao Xian! Among the cultivators of Qingyun Sect, Yun Taihao also saw the radiant Li Feihuang in red. This beauty is not inferior to Yan Feiyin in appearance, and even slightly better. But she lacks Yan Feiyin's charming charm.

Li Feihuang was also staring at Gao Xian. Her serious and passionate eyes could already explain her relationship with Gao Xian.

Yun Taihao, a Jindan who has lived for hundreds of years, has never cared about women, but he couldn't help feeling jealous at this moment.

The most outstanding female cultivators in the hall all have a deep relationship with Gao Xian! I have to say, this guy is really good at dealing with women! Yan Feiyin has a three-tailed celestial fox as a spirit beast, and her perception is extremely sharp. She noticed Yun Taihao's gaze, but she didn't care about it.

How many men in the hall could resist looking at her? No, there was also a man who didn't look at him from beginning to end.

It was Gui Wuqi from Tongtian Sword Sect. This guy had gray hair and ordinary facial features. His pair of deep blue eyes were bright and beautiful, but they did not express any human emotions.

Yun Qingxuan was also cold, but her coldness was not as crystal clear as it seemed. This Gui Wuqi was like a frozen sword blade, so cold that it was ruthless and heartless.

Yan Feiyin is very brave, but he feels a little nervous when facing Gui Wuqi and dares not look at him too much.

She was somewhat disdainful of this, she was far inferior to Gao Xian, why was she so arrogant! However, there was a tall beauty standing next to Gui Wuqi, dressed in white, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, looking both heroic and beautiful. Especially the sharp aura between her eyebrows and eyes, which was unforgettable.

Yan Feiyin is still at the foundation-building stage. Even if he can borrow the power of the three-tailed heavenly fox, he still feels a little nervous when facing a real golden elixir.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Not to mention that this woman was full of awe-inspiring sword spirit, like an invisible blade piercing people's hearts, making her dare not look at her for too long.

Yan Feiyin was envious and somewhat disdainful of this woman. She was quite good at pretending! She made up her mind to find a way to get Gao Xian to seduce this woman when she got back. Once they got in bed, she would see if she could still maintain this awe-inspiring and inviolable virtue...

Yan Feiyin was jealous and couldn't help wanting to see this woman make a fool of herself. The woman's sword heart was clear and she immediately sensed Yan Feiyin's malice. She glanced at Yan Feiyin with her sharp eyes.

This time it really was like an invisible divine sword piercing Yan Feiyin's heart. Her face turned pale and she staggered back two steps.

Such subtle changes in aura cannot be hidden from the Jindan Zhenren.

Ma Tengyun, who was standing next to Yan Feiyin, suddenly became furious and glared at the woman fiercely.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Wan Chang'an grabbed Ma Tengyun.

As allies of Qingyun Sect, they cannot be rude or disrespectful at such an important Golden Core Celebration.

As for what the Tongtian Sword Sect does, that is their business.

The thirty-six major sects in Wanfeng County are also divided into different levels.

The Qingyun Sect, Wanling Sect, and Yuelun Sect, which are located on the edge, are definitely ranked at the bottom.

The Tongtian Sword Sect is different. As the only pure sword-cultivating sect in Wanfeng County, their status is very high and they can definitely be ranked in the top five.

Therefore, it is understandable that the people of Tongtian Sword Sect are arrogant and conceited.

Wan Changan was actually a little puzzled. The Tongtian Sword Sect had no dealings with their sects. What was the reason for them to suddenly come to participate in the Golden Core Celebration? Did they also want to form an alliance? Or did they want to take this opportunity to see what was going on in the Eastern Wasteland?

No matter what, Wan Chang'an didn't want to provoke Tongtian Sword Sect.

The other sect's strength is much stronger than theirs, and the sword cultivators have strange temperaments and will draw their swords and attack if they disagree with something.

If something really went wrong, not only would Qingyun Sect lose face, but they would also suffer...

At this time, the celebration ceremony had ended, and masters from various sects were exchanging pleasantries with Gao Xian.

This small conflict naturally attracted the attention of Gao Xian and others.

Gao Xian glanced at Yan Feiyin. This woman was not an easy person to deal with. Fortunately, she had the permanent charm mark, so this woman could be considered his best friend.

To some extent, she is more reliable than Qiniang.

Yan Feiyin noticed Gao Xian's gaze. She looked at Gao Xian pitifully, with an aggrieved look on her face, as if to say that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Gao Xian didn't want to cause trouble either. No matter what Tongtian Sword Sect's purpose was, they were still guests after all.

There's no need to worry about a small conflict.

Yun Qiushui had been waiting for an opportunity. He smiled and took a few steps forward and said, "I have long heard of the great name of Fellow Daoist Gui's Wuqi Divine Sword. Although I am not very talented, I am also a sword cultivator. I would like to take this opportunity to learn a few moves from you. I hope you will be generous in teaching me..."

Everyone around was surprised. It was just a small matter, and the parties involved hadn't said anything yet, so why did Yun Qiu Shui rush out to fight? Many people were puzzled by this. Only those who were familiar with Yun Qiu Shui's personality knew that he was not that complicated. He just didn't want to accept the other party taking the opportunity to challenge him.

Gui Wuqi glanced at Yun Qiu Shui with his cold deep blue eyes, and then he lowered his eyes, as if he had no interest in Yun Qiu Shui and didn't even want to talk.

This attitude really made Yun Qiushui angry. This kid is so arrogant! The people around him also noticed this, and their expressions were a bit complicated.

They had naturally heard of the name of Wuqi Divine Sword, but they did not expect that he was so arrogant that he even looked down on Yun Qiu Shui.

Gao Xian couldn't let his good friend be embarrassed, so he took two steps forward and said, "Today is my lucky day, and many of my relatives and friends have come to support me. This place is not suitable for sparring. Please give me some face, and we can talk about it another day."

He whispered again: "Brother Yun, you are trying to steal my limelight!"

Yun Qiu Shui couldn't help but smile, and the resentment in her heart was almost dispelled by Gao Xian's joke.

Gui Wuqi didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to challenge him again.

Yun Qiushui was about to speak when the sharp-looking woman in white spoke up: "My senior brother is a swordsman and never spar with others. If you want to duel, I'll accompany you!"

The woman in white clothes as white as snow floated out as she spoke. She drew the long sword from her waist and pointed it diagonally downwards, saying, "Han Chengzhen from Tongtian Sword Sect, please give me some advice."

Yun Qiushui's eyes sparkled with divine light. He walked past Gao Xian and came to the opposite side of Han Chengzhen. "Okay, I will ask for advice from Han Daoyou first!"

The two sides held swords and faced each other, ready to fight. The cold and chilling sword energy also forced the people around to retreat.

Gao Xian's expression remained unchanged, but he was somewhat worried about Yun Qiu Shui. In terms of swordsmanship, Han Cheng was indeed more skilled than Yun Qiu Shui...
