King of Assassins-Chapter 772 - 570 Inspiration
Gao Xuan was truly disappointed. The Master of Desire talked a big game, but his performance was terrible.
To put it bluntly, he was simply useless.
Bear in mind that the Master of Desire was in his own divine country, with billions of followers and stable divine laws. Even with all that, he was easily defeated.
Gao Xuan had hoped to take this opportunity to transfer the Ksitigarbha King's Finger Seal to the Master of Desire. Even if it couldn't be moved entirely, it would be good if the Master of Desire could share half of it.
The result, of course, was a big disappointment. Undoubtedly, the gap between the Master of Desire and the Ksitigarbha King was too large.
Only a small portion of the power left by the Ksitigarbha King was consumed. For Gao Xuan, it provided almost no substantial help.
Gao Xuan almost wanted to sigh. The Ksitigarbha King was so powerful, truly a big problem.
Fortunately, he had Primordial Unity, otherwise, he'd have been killed on the spot. Surviving under the Ksitigarbha King's hand was quite impressive!
Gao Xuan couldn't help but praise himself.
After dealing with Mu Guofeng and the Master of Desire, the battle was completely over.
The subsequent matters could be left to the Holy Hall to handle.
If it weren't for the Master of Desire lurking within Mu Guofeng, Gao Xuan wouldn't have bothered to deal with him.
Gao Xuan returned to Yuanlong Mansion in Mingjing, where Yun Qingshang had been waiting for him all along.
This low Source Power environment meant that even with the Spear of Freedom, Yun Qingshang couldn't perform space jumps as freely as Gao Xuan could.
In the space battle, Yun Qingshang couldn't really help. She only watched most of the battle through Gao Xuan's Soul Chain.
As for the matter of the Master of Desire, since the spiritual battle was extremely dangerous, especially with the Ksitigarbha King's Finger Seal involved, it would have been troublesome if it affected Yun Qingshang.
Yun Qingshang was physically strong, but in terms of the Divine Soul, she was a level below. The Ksitigarbha King's Finger Seal was something she couldn't touch.
Gao Xuan had actually considered a solution, by having Bai Yutang use the King of Angels to resurrect him.
However, he still abandoned this idea.
Too dangerous.
The Divine Soul was so powerful at his level, even stronger than the Master of Desire.
The power of these evil gods like the Master of Desire and the Master of Blood was strong, but most of it came from absorbing the power of followers. Their Divine Souls were chaotic and mixed, bound by the faith of their followers.
In terms of the quality of the Divine Soul, these evil gods like the Master of Desire couldn't compare to him. That's why the seemingly strong power of the Master of Desire was easily crushed by the Ksitigarbha King's divine force.
Though Bai Yutang, with the King of Angels, was strong, to resurrect a divine being should exceed the level of the King of Angels by far.
Although Marvels are strong, their core laws have distinct level demarcations. With just the King of Angels, it would barely be on par with the Celestial Dragon Eye.
After thinking it over, Gao Xuan believed that finding a solution from the Cultivator World was the most reliable.
The Cultivator World had a long heritage, and perhaps he could find a solution. If not, he could ascend to the Immortal Realm from there.
He needed to make a good plan and wasn't in a hurry to discuss this with Yun Qingshang.
Yun Qingshang had no idea how severe Gao Xuan's Divine Soul injury was. This time killing two evil gods, she thought the results were quite good.
Moreover, Gao Xuan was in excellent condition. He was clearly stronger than before by a large margin.
Yun Qingshang said, "With these two evil gods gone, the Alliance can truly stabilize internally."
Gao Xuan said, "The Master of Desire has also been dealt with."
Yun Qingshang was somewhat surprised, for once showing a smile: "You're becoming more and more amazing."
"Not too bad. There is always something beyond. Can't be arrogant."
Gao Xuan rarely displayed humility, but the power of the Ksitigarbha King had him feeling a bit frustrated.
Yun Qingshang was even more surprised; this wasn't like Gao Xuan's usual style.
While she was indifferent to almost everything, she paid great attention to Gao Xuan. She asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm dying," Gao Xuan sighed deeply.
"Huh?"
Yun Qingshang became anxious, "What's really going on?"
"Barring any surprises, I can only live for one or two thousand more years at best."
Gao Xuan sighed, "Thinking about this makes me feel life is short; I need to seize the time."
Yun Qingshang glanced at Gao Xuan indifferently, "If you're going to spend it playing with girls, one or two thousand years won't be enough."
"You really understand me."
Gao Xuan laughed heartily, patting Yun Qingshang on the shoulder, "You're my confidant. My best friend."
This uninhibited joking side of Gao Xuan instead made Yun Qingshang relax, finally restoring to normal.
Qingyi Fei Niao walked into the room to see Gao Xuan with a hand on Yun Qingshang's shoulder, laughing loudly, clearly in a very good mood.
This scene reminded Qingyi Fei Niao of twenty years ago, of the days when Gao Xuan was still studying at Mingjing University.
After not seeing each other for twenty years, Qingyi Fei Niao felt a sense of estrangement towards Gao Xuan. This was the natural change brought by the passage of time.
Meanwhile, Gao Xuan was also vastly different from twenty years ago. Now he was the Master of the Holy Hall, the top powerhouse of the Alliance, sweeping through many golden families, dominating the Alliance.
Such an overpowering and domineering figure made Qingyi Fei Niao feel particularly unfamiliar and difficult to approach from the heart.
Now, Gao Xuan made Qingyi Fei Niao feel the way she did twenty years ago, and she felt a sudden closeness to him in her heart.
Seeing Qingyi Fei Niao come in, Yun Qingshang thought for a moment and said, "You stay with Gao Xuan these few days, I'll handle the aftermath and clean-up work."
The invasion by the three major Evil Gods could be overlooked by others, but an entire reconstructed fleet invading Pegasus Star Realm was extremely serious.
These matters were rather trivial and troublesome, with many entanglements. Since Yun Qingshang was here, she had to unearth everyone involved and punish them harshly.
Qingyi Fei Niao was very capable, but her character was lenient, and she followed rules and regulations too closely in her actions.
Such a person could comply, but dealing with complex matters lacked charm and could get entangled and complicated.
On the other hand, Gao Xuan had vast Divine Techniques. Qingyi Fei Niao was an old acquaintance, and she had talent, and her character was reliable.
Having Qingyi Fei Niao follow Gao Xuan was also giving her an opportunity.
Qingyi Fei Niao was a bit stunned, not knowing what she could do by staying with Gao Xuan. Could it be accompanying him to bed?
This thought made Qingyi Fei Niao flustered and blush with a mix of shyness and unease. Fortunately, being a Golden Powerhouse, she managed to maintain a straight face.
Gao Xuan's Divine Soul Power was incredibly strong, even after being severely injured by Ksitigarbha King, it was still much stronger than Qingyi Fei Niao's.
The subtle emotional fluctuations in Qingyi Fei Niao's heart were clear as day in his eyes.
Qingyi Fei Niao was of the same age as him, but she had already achieved great success in her cultivation early on, and her body remained in the state of an eighteen-year-old.
Compared to when she was eighteen, she was just more physically mature. But her eyes remained as pure and lively as ever, unchanged.
In this respect, her sister Qingyi Fei Ling, who was twenty years younger, lacked that lively gentleness.
Gao Xuan patted Qingyi Fei Niao's shoulder and asked in a grandfatherly manner, "Why is your face red?"
Qingyi Fei Niao felt a bit embarrassed by the question and didn't know how to explain.
"Hahaha, twenty years apart, still as amusing as ever."
Gao Xuan laughed, "Relax, relax, I don't eat people. It's always people who eat me."
Qingyi Fei Niao had focused solely on sword practice and never had a boyfriend. She rarely had idle chats with people, and no one ever came to her with random talk.
She didn't understand that Gao Xuan was making an innuendo, and her bright and lively eyes looked at Gao Xuan with some confusion.
Seeing that the other party didn't understand, Gao Xuan felt a bit unexcited. On the other hand, he also felt that this was inappropriate. After all, they were good friends and he shouldn't make indiscreet jokes.
Gao Xuan said, "How's your practice with the Yin Yang Sword coming along?"
Qingyi Fei Niao's eyes lit up. She had been obsessed with sword practice all her life. Gao Xuan was the Alliance's strongest and widely recognized as an unparalleled Sword Saint. Getting pointers from Gao Xuan would bring her immense benefit.
"I specialize in the Yin Yang Sword but there are still some areas I can't fully comprehend..."
As Qingyi Fei Niao spoke, she gestured, presenting all her swordsmanship questions to Gao Xuan for guidance.
"At the level of Sword Saint, you practice intent not power, mind not sword..."
Although Qingyi Fei Niao was a top-tier genius, she was only at Level 16 now. Whether in terms of vision or power level, there was a world of difference between her and Gao Xuan.
It's no exaggeration to say that Gao Xuan could easily overpower Qingyi Fei Niao with just a finger, and do anything he wanted.
The difficulties that troubled Qingyi Fei Niao were no problem at all for Gao Xuan.
With a casual pointer, Gao Xuan could hit the crux of the matter, making everything clear for Qingyi Fei Niao.
Qingyi Fei Niao indeed had talent in swordsmanship, and she possessed a special kind of spirituality.
After Gao Xuan guided Qingyi Fei Niao for two days, she unexpectedly advanced. Moreover, she grasped the Yin Yang Sword Intent. This made Gao Xuan quite impressed.
Qingyi Fei Niao's Yin Yang Sword Intent was naturally very immature, yet extremely spiritual. It even inspired Gao Xuan.
This made Gao Xuan ponder a question: if all genius wisdom were gathered, could it elevate all of humanity?
At Gao Xuan's level, very few people could discuss matters with him.
This wasn't due to arrogance, but because others' vision and perception were far inferior to his. The sheer difference in levels meant few could explore and communicate with him.
In terms of power level, Gao Xuan stood at the pinnacle of the Alliance. Even Yun Qingshang could only barely glimpse his shadow in the realm of Body Refinement.
As for others, they were far too distant from him.
Gao Xuan's Divine Soul was severely injured, and he couldn't even discuss it with Yun Qingshang. Because he knew Yun Qingshang had no means to help.
Telling Yun Qingshang would only make her feel troubled without providing any benefit.
In Qingyi Fei Niao, Gao Xuan saw the spiritual light of humanity.
Even if Qingyi Fei Niao was far inferior to him, her spiritual light gained him much.
One Qingyi Fei Niao wouldn't help him greatly, but the dazzling spiritual light of a thousand or ten thousand Qingyi Fei Niao might help him break through his current limits.
The so-called Divine Secret Techniques ultimately involve the method of using power.
Under the laws of different worlds, the usage of power naturally differs as well.
When Gao Xuan returned to the Alliance, the Ksitigarbha King's power on his Divine Soul was naturally suppressed by the laws of this world.
From another perspective, it means the Ksitigarbha King's power can adapt to the Alliance's environment and this cosmos's various rules.
As a powerhouse born and raised in this cosmos, Gao Xuan couldn't unravel this power. This indicated his understanding of this world's laws was still superficial.
Under the same rules, he couldn't even see through the power change of Ksitigarbha King's law.
Gao Xuan considered this a line of thought, and a very good one at that. If he could comprehend this, not only would his Divine Soul injuries be resolved, but all of humanity would benefit from it...
