At the same time, Xu Xian also had a glimpse of the dreadfulness of a Celestial Immortal.
If Ao Guang had not been in his weakest state after passing the tribulation and had not been ambushed by Hou Yi's divine bow, and had been killed by Xu Xian's Heaven-moving Sword, he would not have been defeated by them.
The gap between a Celestial Immortal and a Divine Immortal could not be filled by quantity, and the difficulty of cultivation was also increased tenfold or even a hundredfold.
But amongst so many famous immortals, which one of them wasn't a peerless genius? Yet all of them were stuck before this barrier for hundreds or even almost a thousand years. In the end, only a few of them were able to 'refine the void into the Dao' and attain the Heavenly Immortal's Great Dao.
If Xu Xian were to rely on his own wisdom and willpower to cultivate, he would not have the slightest confidence.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Xu Xian's mind. The Way of Celestial Immortals was not hopeless for him.
After strengthening his divine thoughts, he could digest all the memories of Dongyue The Great. With these precious experiences, the Way of Celestial Immortals was not out of reach.
Now, the most important thing was to cultivate the two auxiliary stars of Jupiter and Saturn, and then integrate the five elements of Yin and Yang. That was how he was sure of achieving the Way.
Under the protection of Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian did a closed-door training in the cabin for three days. With the help of a large number of elixirs in the Merit Jade Token and some Yellow Millet Wine, he recovered to his best state at the fastest speed.
He suddenly opened his eyes, which were flowing with crystal light. His appearance had not changed, but his expression, demeanor, and even his gestures had a different kind of bearing.
He had seen this kind of bearing from the Civil Star, Erlang Deity Yang Jian, and other Divine Immortals. The Civil Star gave him the feeling that he was a collection of the world's best literati, while Yang Jian was as solemn and handsome as a lonely peak and precipice.
But Xu Xian was different from them. He was like a brilliant sun, illuminating the world, but not losing his gentleness. He could now be called a Divine Immortal.
Bai Suzhen looked at him, and her eyes couldn't help but sparkle. Back then, she had chosen this ordinary man.
Under her gaze, he gradually washed away the mortal dust on his body, revealing his unparalleled and outstanding temperament.
This feeling was really good!
At this time, the dragon boat had left Japan behind and arrived at the sea.
Xu Xian pushed open the cabin door and came to the deck. He looked at the warm afternoon sun and took a deep breath of the salty, refreshing air.
The people on the ship couldn't help but stop what they were doing. They looked at the envoy who had led them to complete their mission and returned safely. The two deputy envoys also hurried over when they heard the news. When they saw Xu Xian, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Originally, Xu Xian's figure was tall and straight, which was rarely seen in the world. At this moment, he looked even more like a tall mountain. His body seemed to be emitting an extremely brilliant light, making everyone feel as if they couldn't look at him directly.
It felt as if they were not facing a mortal, but a god.
One of the shipwrights' knees trembled, and he couldn't help but kneel down. As if it was infectious, everyone on the deck knelt down one after another, including the two deputy envoys who didn't need to kneel to Xu Xian.
Xu Xian couldn't help but laugh. So I've finally mastered the ultimate skill, the King's Aura.
However, he also knew that the reason why these people were kneeling was because of the various inhuman powers that he had displayed along the way.
Thinking of this, Xu Xian waved his hand and said, "Get up!"
Then, he gave one of his few orders, "Hold a banquet to celebrate tonight. Everyone on the ship must attend. Hurry up and prepare!"
Although no one knew why Xu Xian suddenly had the mood to hold a banquet, of course, no one would go against his wishes.
When the lights were turned on, the cabin was brightly lit, and all kinds of food and drinks were placed on the table.
Xu Xian coughed lightly and asked, "Is everyone here?"
One of the deputy envoys replied respectfully, "I've checked, everyone is here!"
Xu Xian nodded and raised his wine cup high. "This diplomatic mission, it was all thanks to everyone's cooperation that we were able to achieve great success and exchange for the letter of credence. Xu Xian would like to first offer a toast to everyone." As he spoke, he looked around.
Everyone felt that he was looking at them, but it was no longer the feeling of being unable to look him in the eye. Instead, they felt that Xu Xian's eyes seemed to have some sort of special attraction, drawing everyone's gaze towards them and causing them to fall into a trance.
Xu Xian smiled, then downed his cup in one gulp.
He had already used a technique to erase the memories of the foreign experiences in the minds of everyone in the diplomatic mission.
Whether it was the storm that had been split apart or the strange Huang Quan Riders, everything was slowly being erased.
Everyone didn't have the time to be surprised, they hurriedly downed their cups as well. Then, the banquet began. Everyone threw all their worries to the back of their minds and drank until they were in high spirits. Disregarding their status, they toasted to Xu Xian.
Xu Xian treated everyone equally, downing the cups of wine as soon as they were given. His expression did not change even after a thousand cups, causing cheers to resound. The atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively. He smiled as he watched this scene. He had always wanted to live among them as a mortal.
Soon, Xu Xian excused himself with the excuse that he couldn't handle the alcohol. Returning to the cabin, another banquet was waiting for him.
The immortals gathered in the Water Tower Palace.
After Xu Xian arrived, he was immediately congratulated by the immortals for passing the Intermediate Heavenly Tribulation and becoming an immortal.
The items used for the banquet were all the Jade Nectar left in the Dragon Palace. At this time, countless of them were sent up for the immortals to drink.
With the departure of the Dragon Clan, the land of the four seas lost its master. With the assistance of Ah Bi, Yu'Er used these few days to gather the old tribes of the four seas. It would not be long before she would be able to unify the sea and become the real Goddess of the Sea.
Even though Xu Xian was troubled by all kinds of things, he couldn't help but smile at this time. The ignorant girl had finally achieved the right result.
And if she could gather more merit power, she would soon be able to open the new space in the Merit Jade Plate and take out the relics collected by Dongyue The Great.
After a short stay, Xu Xian could no longer bear the worry in his heart and left a phantom to support him in the ship.
Then he flew directly to the West Lake with Bai Suzhen. His body was intertwined with lightning, and his flying speed was faster than ever before. Bai Suzhen also hid in his shadow and was carried forward by him. It didn't take much time for them to fly over the vast sea and come to the sky over Hangzhou.
With a sweep of the Heavenly Eye, he found the trace of Xiaoqing. She was meditating in the mountains, dressed in green clothes, but the spiritual power in her body had become much stronger. Obviously, she had digested the influence of the Rattlesnake's divine sense.
Xiaoqing had a connection with him, so she immediately sensed it. She flew out of the cave house and into the air, and said in surprise, "You're back!"
Xu Xian immediately asked, "Qing 'er, where is Ao Li?"
Xiaoqing said, "Isn't she in Taihu Lake?
What happened?
Your cultivation seems to have improved again. "
"Let's talk about it when we come back." Xu Xian immediately turned to Taihu Lake.
But Bai Suzhen didn't go with him. Instead, she held Xiaoqing's hand.
Almost in an instant, Xu Xian came to Taihu Lake. He quickly flew a few laps over Taihu Lake, but he didn't see Ao Li at all. A sense of disappointment gradually welled up in his heart, and he looked up to the sky and sighed.
In the vast starry sky, which star was she on?
Ever since the first time he met her, he had never felt at ease. But unknowingly, that noisy little girl had occupied an extremely important position in his heart.
He could only comfort himself that it might not be a bad thing. If she returned to the tribe, no one could hurt her anymore!
"Silly Xu Xian!" A familiar voice came from behind Xu Xian. "Why are you sighing again?"
Xu Xian turned around in disbelief. Wasn't the person he missed standing right in front of him, looking at him with a familiar and arrogant expression?
Xu Xian hugged her in his arms, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly fly away.
"Hey, what are you doing, want to fight?"
Ao Li realized that he was only hugging her tightly, but her mood gradually became flustered. A layer of red appeared on her face, and she said with a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Let go for this dragon king!"
Under the endless starry sky, she still remained by his side, in his arms.
After a long time, Xu Xian let go and said, "Where did you run off to?"
Ao Li said, "I … I went to the Yangtze River to take a look. Why are you so fierce to me?"
Xu Xian rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that this little girl could actually affect his state of mind so deeply. He didn't even realize that she was by his side just now. He adjusted his state of mind and regained his composure. He said, "Didn't you see a silver light?"
Mentioning this, Ao Li happily grabbed Xu Xian's hand and said, "Oh yes, I saw my grandfather!"
Xu Xian was stunned. "Dragon King Ao Gan?"
Ao Li said, "How is it? Isn't he awesome? I was wondering how he died."
Xu Xian said, "Tell me in detail, what happened?"
Ao Li gesticulated with her hands and feet as she described the situation three days ago.
Apart from the useless smugness, Xu Xian vaguely obtained the whole story.
It turned out that from the beginning, there were many voices of opposition in the dragon race, and they predicted a disastrous outcome. In the end, everything proved their worries.
The world that was devoured by the Candle Dragon was very narrow, and after tens of thousands of years of reproduction, the number of the dragon race was much more than what Xu Xian imagined.
Therefore, after a series of meticulous calculations, a large number of dragons determined a sea route. It was said that there was another world at the end of the sea route.
Therefore, the main force of the dragon race brought the results of the experiment to outer space to look for a new place to rest. They promised that after they found it, they would come back for the rest of the dragon race.
Ao Gan flew to outer space along this ancient sea route. He originally wanted to die on the path that his ancestors had found, but he met a returnee.
Even though there were countless sacrifices during this long journey, and only a few of the Dragon Race managed to reach their new home, with their superhuman intelligence, they still found another way to break through the limits of life, and appointed the strongest among them to fulfill the original promise.
After listening to this, Xu Xian couldn't help but sigh. They were indeed intelligent beings that existed before humans!
"Then why didn't you go with your grandfather?"
