King of Assassins-Chapter 970 - 670: Meeting Gift

Above the Nine Heavens, the green light sinks like the sea, and a majestic Divine Palace stands amid the cloud aura in the distance. Above the Divine Palace, auspicious energy disperses a thousand strands of colorful light, displaying a magnificent spectacle.

Under the guidance of the Nine-colored Rainbow Light, Gao Xuan traversed layer upon layer of space barriers to arrive at this place.

The Nine-colored Rainbow Light can be seen as a high-speed elevator, with its own internal space and capable of isolating inside from outside.

The Immortal Realm and the Cultivator World seem connected, but in fact, they're separated by countless complex spaces. Without the guidance of the Nine-colored Rainbow Light, Gao Xuan could hardly enter the Immortal Realm by wandering within the space.

As the Nine-colored Rainbow Light dissipated, Gao Xuan immediately saw the grand palace.

Below this palace filled with rich traditional ancient style lay an extraordinarily large turtle.

This turtle is not smaller than the old turtle from before, and the entire Immortal Palace is constructed on its back.

On both sides of the Immortal Palace, two Golden Dragons coiled around to form walls. Above the Immortal Palace, dozens of Colorful Phoenixes danced in flight, their wings fluttering as they dropped specks of Spiritual Light.

Gao Xuan took just one glance and withdrew his gaze. Any flying Colorful Phoenix had Spiritual Qi that was much thicker and stronger than his own.

The two Golden Dragons circling the Divine Palace were much stronger than him.

Even his Celestial Dragon Eye was suppressed by the hierarchy, causing intense fluctuations and distorted light and shadow.

Judging by rank, the two Golden Dragons and the old turtle supporting the Divine Palace are at least Ksitigarbha Level.

The Divine Palace appears close at hand, but in reality, it's far beyond the clouds, an immeasurable distance away.

Gao Xuan understood that what he saw was merely a projection of the Immortal Palace.

"From where do you hail, Cultivator? Don't stare; this Immortal Palace is not for your eyes! What's your name?"

Following the voice, Gao Xuan saw an old man standing ahead.

This elder had a face full of wrinkles, yet his skin glinted faintly with a golden color. His goatee and triangular old eyes gave a rather somber impression.

The elder wore a crimson robe, embroidered on the chest with a six-pointed star, above which were intricate cloud patterns. It seemed to be a type of writing.

Gao Xuan didn't recognize it, but through Divine Soul perception, he sensed rich Star Power emanating from the elder.

The stars of the Immortal Realm naturally differ vastly from the planets of the Alliance. Gao Xuan could perceive that beyond the Nine Heavens, countless stars were releasing powerful and unique energies. This elder must correspond to a specific star, thus possessing the energy of that star.

Arriving at the Immortal Realm, Gao Xuan's Power was suppressed to the lowest by the laws of the realm and further attracted by the powerful projection of the Immortal Palace, causing him to not immediately notice the elder.

Yet his foundation was deep, and the path of Primordial Unity allowed him to retain maximum power. In an instant, he discerned the elder's power source.

Gao Xuan cupped his hands to the elder: "Gao Xuan of the Five Elements Sect."

After all, the Five Elements Sect had been annihilated for thousands of years, and there should be no members in the Immortal Realm. Even if there were, they've long lost contact with the Lower Realm.

Pretending to be a member of the Five Elements Sect wouldn't cause any issues. Besides, Gao Xuan felt it was not quite pretentious. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

His avatar was indeed a true heir of the Five Elements Sect.

The elder indifferently said, "Nobody cares about your sect origins here in the Immortal Realm. All Ascenders are managed uniformly by the Immortal Palace. Any status or honor you had in the Lower Realm holds no meaning here. Do you understand?"

Gao Xuan remained silent, aware of the records kept by the Cultivator World concerning the Immortal Realm. They portrayed it with admiration and awe as an Immortal Sacred Land where ascension leads to blissful longevity.

Judging by the elder's speech and attitude, it's clear the Immortal Realm is also bound by numerous rules and rigid hierarchies.

The elder didn't wait for Gao Xuan to respond, continuing, "I am the Golden Sheep Star Monarch, and I have been on duty at the South Celestial Sect for the past five hundred years. You're the first Cultivator to ascend here after nearly five hundred years. I find your appearance pleasing, so I'll assign you a favorable job."

The Golden Sheep Star Monarch had been stationed at the South Celestial Sect for hundreds of years and seldom encountered living beings, particularly Ascenders from the Lower Realm; Gao Xuan was the sole exception.

Rarity is precious.

Being the only Ascender, naturally, Gao Xuan was regarded differently, and moreover, he was extremely handsome, with an extraordinarily transcendent temperament.

The Golden Sheep Star Monarch had once visited the Daluo Immortal Palace and met the Immortal Emperor and various Immortals above the Nine Heavens.

In terms of demeanor and grace, this Ascender before him had a divine and pristine aura, as bright as the moon and clear as autumn water. There might hardly be anyone in the Immortal Realm able to compete.

Such a character immediately appealed to the Golden Sheep Star Monarch. Even Immortals enjoy speaking based on appearances.

"A job?"

Gao Xuan, puzzled, asked politely while cupping his hands, "Star Monarch, what's the explanation here?"

The Golden Sheep Star Monarch stroked his goatee with a chuckle, "The Immortal Realm is vast, filled with billions of beings. The Immortal Emperor is benevolent, pledging to protect all life. Naturally, we must alleviate the Immortal Emperor's burdens..."

Gao Xuan summarized the Golden Sheep Star Monarch's speech, indicating the Immortal Emperor assigns followers to manage the myriad beings of the Nine Heavens.

Above the Nine Heavens is the Daluo Immortal Palace, overseeing the Nine Heavens.

Below Daluo Immortal Palace, the classification of the Nine Heavens is based on Spiritual Qi levels. Ascenders like Gao Xuan are accepted and recruited by the Immortal Palace.

According to necessity, various duties are allocated.

Simply stated, a Cultivator's ascension is akin to a local officer being transferred to the Capital City.

Previous connections, statuses, and powers of the local officer are essentially nullified. The only useful entity is their own ability.

As for the duties assigned, it clearly relies much on luck if there's no personal influence within the Immortal Palace.

The laws of the Immortal Realm are overwhelmingly powerful, and Gao Xuan felt his own power reduced to the Golden Core Layer.

Due to the differences in laws, the impact is greater on the finer aspects of power. Fortunately, he pursued Primordial Unity; while his Primordial Qi faced major effects, his Horizontal Training Golden Body retained seventy to eighty percent of its combat strength.
