Chapter 841 Nine Heavenly Kings
Xuanming Hall.
The blue colored glass on the dome reflects the stars in the night sky. There is no moon tonight, and the stars shine brightly. Among them, the Big Dipper and the Purple Emperor Star dominate the northern sky, which is extremely dazzling.
The spiritual light flickered on the Taoist robe with blue-gold dragon pattern on the body of Xuanming Tianzun in the main hall, and there seemed to be a divine light flowing in his slightly lowered eyes.
When Gao Xian took a look at Xuanming Tianzun, he could only see that there were countless runes and prohibitions inside the statue of this Tianzun that gathered magical power, and its changes were profound and unpredictable.
Thinking it was a peerless magic weapon used by the sect to suppress its destiny, he did not dare to look at it for too long, let alone use the Heavenly Dragon Controlling Eyes to spy on it.
Although he has a close relationship with Taoist Xuanyang, it is a big taboo for him to spy on the sect's sacred artifacts.
As he became stronger and stronger, he could feel the mystery and majesty of Xuanming Palace more and more. When he was in it, his consciousness and magic power were naturally suppressed by the supreme power of the Xuanming Tianzun statue.
Fortunately, the Pojun Star Sword deep in his brows was silently shining with starlight, and it had an extremely secret resonance with the Pojun main star above the nine heavens.
This resonance not only allows him to circulate his star power calmly, but also enables him to determine his own position through the main star Pojun, and then determine the changes in the surroundings.
The Pojun Star Sword has reached the master level, and its connection with the Pojun main star has become closer, more stable and more secretive.
Through many experiments, Gao Xian discovered that the greatest advantage of this connection is that it can provide a clear coordinate to determine one's own position and status.
For example, when he enters the Canglong Cave, he can easily determine his own position through the stable and secret connection with the main star Pojun, and will not be confused by changes such as illusions.
Naturally, there was no need to do so in the Xuanming Palace. Gao Xian only used the Xuanming Palace to test the power of the Pojun Star Sword to see if this connection could be easily suppressed by a powerful artifact.
Bai Yujing and Xuanyang Daozun didn't pay attention to Gao Xian. Both sides were communicating frankly and exchanging opinions fully.
"Fellow Daoist, you are destroying Gao Xian by doing this. If you bypass our nine sect leaders and go directly to the Nine Heavenly Kings, what will the other sect leaders think? What will the Nine Heavenly Kings think?"
"The Nine Heavenly Kings will make the final decision on this matter. Just send Gao Xian in."
"How can that be! Sending Gao Xian into Xuanhuangtian Taiyi Palace without permission is against the rules. Something that originally made sense has become unreasonable."
"What kind of reason can that be? You are too clever for your own good. This matter is of great importance and cannot be discussed with others."
Bai Yujing said calmly: "After all, you are just afraid of taking responsibility."
Xuanyang Daozun was now middle-aged. He was no longer playful as usual, and his face was serious and his eyes were sharp. Facing Bai Yujing's harsh words, he actually nodded: "Indeed."
"You are so cautious, how can you expect to do anything big?"
Bai Yujing's tone was calm and indifferent, without any sarcasm in her words. She was just pointing out a fact.
He doesn't even dare to do such a small thing, and yet he still wants to rebel against Tiangang. That's really wishful thinking.
Taoist Master Xuanyang is almost 20,000 years old. Bai Yujing's words made his face as gloomy as water, and he remained silent for a while.
He knew that Bai Yujing was telling the truth, and the more he knew it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Gao Xian didn't dare to say a word. He thought that going to see the Jiuzhou Ding was just a trivial matter, but he didn't expect that Taoist Xuanyang would react so intensely.
Judging from the attitudes of both parties, this is still a matter of principle. He also complained in his heart that Sister Bai was unreliable. She brought him here before she even discussed the matter with Xuan Yang.
Taoist Xuanyang was obviously irritated!
Gao Xian has known Taoist Xuanyang for hundreds of years. He always speaks and acts in a playful and casual manner, and seems to care little about anything.
It was the first time that he saw Taoist Xuanyang look so ugly.
This Taoist master is not unable to control his emotions, but he simply does not want to control his emotions.
Almost manic anger was released from the Chunyang Yuanshen, making the atmosphere in the Xuanming Hall so heavy that it almost solidified.
Bai Yujing still looked the same, with no joy, anger or ripples in his pure white jade eyes, just like a white jade statue.
The suffocating silence lasted for a long time before Daoist Xuanyang said, "How sure are you?"
He emphasized: "I am not afraid of taking responsibility. This matter is extremely important to Gao Xian. If I fail this time, there will be no chance again!"
In fact, you can leave your name on Jiuzhou Ding through the joint recommendation of the nine Pure Yang Dao Masters. If that doesn't work, then go find Jiuzhou Ding privately.
Directly skipping the stage of Dao Zun's recommendation would firstly be disrespectful to other Dao Zun. Secondly, it would lose another precious opportunity.
Moreover, Jiuzhou Ding may not like someone to go to him privately! If Gao Xian fails this time, he will never be able to stay in Jiuzhou to achieve the sixth level of enlightenment.
Daoist Xuanyang didn't tell Gao Xian because Gao Xian didn't understand the stakes involved. He had to convince Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing didn't care about Daoist Xuanyang's bad tone. She said calmly, "I have some friendship with Daoist Fellow Jin. You have to give me some face."
Gao Xian noticed that the two people's names for Jiuzhou Ding were very interesting. Xuanyang Daozun called it "Jiu Tian Wang", which showed great respect. Bai Yujing called it "Jin Daoyou", which seemed to indicate that they were equals.
The term "Daoyou" is not strictly limited. If the two parties do not have a direct relationship and their status and cultivation are not very different, they can both be called Daoyou.
However, if the difference is too big, it won't work. Just like he and Bai Yujing have no direct relationship, he can't call Bai Yujing "fellow Taoist", that would be too rude.
Taoist Xuanyang certainly understood what Bai Yujing meant. The relationship between him and Jiuzhou Ding was purely business-related. There was a huge difference between the two, and he could not carelessly call the other person by his name behind his back.
The old Taoist looked at Gao Xian, who lowered his eyes slightly and tightened his chin, putting on a respectful and obedient attitude. It was not his turn to express his opinion at this time.
Of course, his silence is actually a statement of opinion. If he supports Xuanyang Daozun, he would definitely take the initiative to stand up and let Daozun handle it.
Taoist Xuanyang is a very smart man, and he also understands Gao Xian's thoughts.
This kid has been successful all the way, and he is used to smooth sailing. Naturally, he has developed strong confidence. One is a radical strategy, and the other is a conservative strategy. This kid definitely prefers the radical strategy.
On the other hand, he had to admit that Bai Yujing had a better vision than him. There was no way around it. This was the gap between the two realms, as well as the gap in experience and knowledge.
This old guy Bai Yujing, huh... forget it, Gao Xian is not afraid of taking risks, why should he worry about it!
Taoist Xuan Yang weighed the pros and cons and said, "Okay, I'll grant your wish. I just hope you can get it done!"
He was not being sarcastic. If he failed this time, not only would he lose face, but Gao Xian's future would also be ruined. In the future, he would be at most level six.
Moreover, he will definitely end up like Luo Shouyang in the end! Gao Xian was very sensible and quickly bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Master."
"well……"
Taoist Xuan Yang sighed deeply, he made a seal with his hands and silently chanted a spell, the statue of Taoist Xuan Ming above vibrated buzzingly, and endless spiritual energy gathered towards the center of the hall.
The cyan-gold slabs on the ground began to glow with light, and billions of golden runes emerged, connecting into a huge magic circle.
Bai Yujing told Gao Xian: "Fellow Daoist Jin has an upright personality. You can keep silent, but you cannot tell lies. Also, it would be more appropriate for you to call him senior.
"He actually doesn't like the title of Nine Heavenly Kings."
Taoist Xuan Yang had a neutral expression. He didn't have to be called the Nine Heavenly Kings, but everyone called him that to show respect, and he couldn't be different.
The old Taoist said to Gao Xian, "You only have one day to go. The spiritual energy in Xuanhuang Heaven is strong and chaotic, which will destroy your connection with the magic circle. If you stay for more than a day, I won't be able to bring you back."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Yes, Master." Gao Xian responded softly.
Spiritual light shone into the sky, countless runes rotated, and the void shook violently, opening up a deep passage connected by runes.
Gao Xian's whole body felt light, and the world was spinning around him. He could only tighten his consciousness and merge his body and soul into one to avoid getting hurt.
The next moment, the rumbling spiritual energy dissipated. Gao Xian looked around and found that he was standing in the center of a huge bluestone square.
Above was the deep starry sky, and Gao Xian saw at a glance the last star among the Big Dipper, Pojun Star.
However, relying on the mysterious connection with the Pojun Star Sword between his eyebrows, Gao Xian knew that the starlight he saw was just a projection, and the real Pojun Star was not within his field of vision.
Through the connection with the main star Pojun, Gao Xian was very sure that he had left Jiuzhou, and even left the human world in the usual sense. This was a heavenly world independent of the human world.
Looking at the bluestone square under my feet, the huge square paved with bluestone, which is three meters square, is extremely magnificent. The long time has left mottled marks of vicissitudes on the bluestone, which also makes the square look extremely heavy.
In front of the bluestone square is a grand palace built with bluestone as the base and huge trees.
The main body of the palace is dark blue, with a dome with nine ridges on four sides, and a simple and grand style. It is estimated that the main hall is a thousand feet high, as majestic as a mountain and extraordinary.
Gao Xian had been to various major sects, but this was the first time he saw such a grand palace.
There were no signs of wear and tear anywhere in the palace, but it had a sense of antiquity and heaviness that had gone through many vicissitudes of life, just like an ancient bronze tripod.
Before entering the main hall, one had to climb 360 steps. Gao Xian's magic power was imprisoned here, and he couldn't even fly. He didn't dare to be presumptuous, and climbed up the huge steps step by step. He came to the door of the main hall.
The gate was a hundred feet high and seemed to be made of some kind of metal, appearing extremely heavy and solid. Above the gate was an ancient vertical plaque with three characters written in a dragon seal.
Gao Xian didn't know much about Long Zhang, but fortunately he could still recognize what three words meant: Taiyi Palace.
He stood in front of the gate, somewhat hesitant. There seemed to be only one entrance to the hall. How should he get in?
After thinking for a while, Gao Xian raised his hand and showed the Star-Transforming Ring on his little finger.
The runes on the heavy door glowed brightly, and then it opened with a loud bang.
Gao Xian adjusted his state and then stepped into the hall.
The hall was also paved with smooth, thick bluestone. A ray of bright light was hanging down from the high platform in front, shining on a person.
This man was nine feet tall, with an ancient and square face, and a hairband on his forehead to hold his long hair in place. He wore a loose black robe, and on his chest was a series of dark gold dragon runes forming the word "nine".
There is no doubt that this person is Jiuzhou Ding, also known as the Nine Heavenly Kings, Sister Bai’s fellow Taoist Jin.
Gao Xian did not dare to approach, he took a few steps forward and bowed deeply, "Junior Gao Xian of Xuanming Sect greets senior."
The two sides were thousands of feet apart. Fortunately, although Gao Xian's consciousness was suppressed, his body was very strong, so he was not afraid that the other party would not hear his shout.
The Nine Heavenly Kings, who was sitting on the bluestone platform, looked up at Gao Xian and asked casually, "What do you want?"
His voice was grand and powerful, like the sound of a huge bell, and it made Gao Xian's soul buzz with excitement.
"Senior, I want to leave my name in the Jiuzhou Cauldron and attain the Pure Yang Dao within the Jiuzhou." Gao Xian suppressed the shock of his soul and spoke his thoughts directly.
This was also taught by Bai Yujing.
"You have accumulated a lot of luck for the human race. Over the past few decades, people like you are rare."
The Nine Heavenly Kings pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that you bypassed the nine sect masters and came directly to see me, which is not in accordance with the rules."
Gao Xian felt something was wrong, but he didn't know how to explain it. It's not that he couldn't speak, but he was afraid of saying more and making more mistakes. Bai Yujing also reminded him again and again not to play tricks in front of Jiuzhou Ding.
The Nine Heavenly Kings said again: "For the sake of Brother Bai Daoist, I will give you a chance."
Gao Xian was delighted. Sister Bai was indeed very respectable! "If you accumulate the same luck of the human race, you can leave your name on the Jiuzhou Ding."
The Nine Heavenly Kings said in a deep voice: "However, this process of the nine sect masters cannot be omitted."
"Please explain clearly, senior." Gao Xian didn't quite understand. Didn't Jiuzhou Ding agree to leave his name on it? Why did they call another meeting with the nine clan leaders? "If any of the nine clan leaders disagree with you leaving your name on Jiuzhou Ding, you must go to Xuanhuangtai to fight to the death."
Jiu Tian Wang reminded Gao Xian: "The winner decides everything. You must kill all opponents. There may be several opponents, so you have to think about this matter carefully..."
