King of Assassins

"Master, you are finally out of seclusion..."

Lianyi was extremely happy when she saw Gao Xuan walking out of the quiet room.

For more than two hundred days, Gao Xuan has been staying in the quiet room without any movement.

After all, Ripple is a young woman who cannot bear loneliness. She is particularly dependent on Gao Xuan.

There was only a thin wooden door, but without Gao Xuan's order, Lianyi didn't dare to break in. I can only wait outside miserably.

Therefore, she was very excited after seeing Gao Xuan. She ran over and pulled Gao Xuan's sleeves to act coquettishly.

Gao Xuan patted Lianyi's head gently to show affection.

He asked casually: "What can I do while I am in seclusion?"

"Nothing happened. Hu Ji came to visit once, and Tao Jun, Zuo Wentao, and Jiang Yunfeng also came once."

Lianyi didn't like any of them very much. She said, "They don't seem to have anything to do. It's just Tao Jun who left you a letter."

She thought for a moment and then said: "Baili Qingtong often comes over to play with me."

Although Baili Qingtong is not important, when the elder asks, he must explain it.

Gao Xuan nodded, "It'll be fine."

He originally thought that Ao Qiong or the Golden Horn King would come to cause trouble. Fortunately, the pace of this world is slow. For some unknown reason, the other party did not come to cause trouble.

Gao Xuan was also secretly glad that the other party didn't knock on his door during this period.

Otherwise, he would be immersed in the "Emperor's Nine Transformations Sutra" and find it hard to extricate himself. If a powerful enemy comes to attack him, he doesn't know what problems will occur.

Now that he has initially learned the "Emperor's Nine Transformations Sutra", he really wants to find someone to practice with.

The ripples were so rippled that she didn't know what Gao Xuan was thinking. She took out Tao Jun's letter and said, "Sir, this is Tao Jun's letter."

Gao Xuan casually opened it and took a look. The letter was written in moiré, probably out of the desire to keep it confidential.

The content of the letter is very simple. It mainly reminds Gao Xuan to be careful. I heard that there is something strange happening in the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance, and it seems that a powerful demon king is coming to cause trouble.

on the other hand,

Ao Qiong seemed to be very angry about what happened to the Golden Scale King. It's just that Ao Qiong is anxious to deal with his own affairs. When he calms down, I'm afraid he will come and cause trouble.

Tao Jun's writing is very obscure, but his meaning is very clear.

Gao Xuan smiled after seeing it, Tao Jun was deliberately trying to sell it well. However, this person also made it very clear that no matter who comes to cause trouble, he will not help.

Gao Xuan took the letter and shook it casually. The light on the letter shone and turned into a person, exactly like Gao Xuan.

Lianyi stayed aside for a while, her eyes moving back and forth on the two Gao Xuan. The two Gao Xuan were standing and sitting, but their faces, expressions, demeanor and demeanor were exactly the same.

The eyes of both of them are dark blue with a little golden light, bright, deep, and full of charm.

There is no difference at all between the two.

Ripples are creatures inspired by Gao Xuan, and they are most sensitive to Gao Xuan's aura. But she still couldn't tell the difference between real and fake Gao Xuan.

Even though she knew that Gao Xuan's true form was the one sitting down, there was nothing unreal about the standing person.

The more Lianyi looked, the more surprised she became. She opened her mouth wide and remained stunned for a while before asking: "Master, what's going on?"

Gao Xuan smiled: "It's just a clone technique."

The clone technique is not too difficult for the immortals. This spell is very interesting and has a wide range of applications. Many people are proficient in it.

The clones in Huangtian's Nine Transformations Sutra can be transformed into hundreds of clones. To put it bluntly, it is an advanced clone technique. It's just that the power is completely different from ordinary clone techniques.

Gao Xuan used the letter to transform himself into a clone, and this clone retained seven points of his power. This is actually very impressive.

Ordinary clone techniques are no different from illusion techniques. You can also do some ordinary things. It can be easily destroyed by force.

Gao Xuan's clone retained 70% of its combat power. This can play an extremely important role in combat.

The clone will dissipate after being killed. For Gao Xuan, he only loses part of his soul power and the loss is minimal.

Gao Xuan can actually create hundreds or thousands of clones at a time, but the more clones there are, the weaker the clones are.

Hundreds and thousands of clones just look lively. In actual combat, they just consume their power in vain and have no practical value.

According to Gao Xuan's idea, it is best to control the number of clones to less than three, which can maintain considerable combat effectiveness and maintain sufficient flexibility.

The highest level of Avatar Transformation, capable of creating hundreds of thousands of clones. Moreover, all clones have the same combat power as the original body.

To be honest, Gao Xuan was very skeptical about this statement.

Daluo Jinxian has created one hundred and eight thousand clones, isn't that invincible?

Obviously, such a beautiful thing is impossible. Therefore, there must be an upper limit to the variety of clones.

Gao Xuan is also a beginner. He has learned the magic changes, but still doesn't understand its essence.

At this moment, Gao Xuan was quite satisfied with the changes in his clone.

At least, for his level, this spell is super practical. So borrowing letter paper is just a gimmick. The transformation of the clone depends entirely on the power of the soul and has nothing to do with external objects.

Of course, this clone also has limitations, that is, it cannot leave the sensing range of Gao Xuan's soul.

The clone itself has no intelligence and is equivalent to one of Gao Xuan's hands. Any changes must be directed by Gao Xuan's soul.

This clone is not a life, and is essentially different from Ripple.

Moreover, maintaining the clone also requires the consumption of soul power.

Gao Xuan's thoughts changed, and his clone turned into a swallow.

The swallows flapped their wings and flew out of the gate with a huff, fluttering their wings straight into the blue sky in the autumn wind.

At the level of the high-mysterious soul, he could see the blue white clouds that the swallows saw, could sense the bleak autumn wind that the swallows felt, and could feel the changes in the airflow caused by the oscillation of his wings.

Through this swallow, Gao Xuan synchronizes the swallow to feel all the information.

This is also interesting.

The swallow flew straight up into the blue sky, flying to a height of more than a thousand feet before being unable to climb back up.

The blue sky looks as pure as water, but there are heavy winds in the blue sky.

Swallow could no longer resist the strong wind blowing thousands of feet away.

Gao Xuan also realized a problem. If he transformed into a swallow, he would be bound by the swallow form. No matter how strong his individual strength is, he cannot bless Yanzi.

Thinking of this, Gao Xuan changed his mind and turned into a goshawk again.

The goshawk has a white head, black feathers and yellow claws, and its wings are more than one foot long when spread out. The goshawk flaps its wings and flies up against the strong wind.

So straight up to the position of five thousand feet, the Tianshi Temple turned into a black spot, and the royal capital in the distance turned into a small piece.

When we got here, the strong wind was as strong as an invisible sword. The goshawk couldn't bear it and couldn't fly upwards.

Gao Xuan thought about turning into a huge flying dragon, and then the golden dragon-shaped body emerged, and then fell apart in the strong wind, turning into little bits of light and dissipating.

At this point, this clone completely dissipated.

Gao Xuan briefly tried the spell and discovered a problem. The Avatar can change into various items and various creatures, but not everything can be changed.

For example, dragons cannot. It is conceivable that other powerful creatures may not be able to do it.

Even if he could barely change it, it would only be superficial.

The clone can change in many ways, and whatever form it takes, it will naturally possess the ability of that form.

Gao Xuan probably understood that the real limit to the variety of clones lies in his power. The extent of His change lies within His power.

He cannot change a life beyond his power.

Therefore, the real function of the clone is the clone. It’s so varied, that’s fun. Of little practical value.

Of course, you can also turn into a fly or something like Sun Wukong and sneak into other people's stomachs.

Then he shouted, sister-in-law, open your mouth quickly, I am coming out...

In fact, powerful monsters are not stupid either. It's not that easy to turn into a little bug and try to sneak into the other person's mouth.

If you can do this, it won't be difficult to kill the opponent directly.

No matter what, it's fun to have multiple clones.

If Gao Xuan is willing, he can create hundreds of clones and turn them into houses, tables, chairs, pots and pans, etc., so that he can live at home.

Or, use your avatars to turn into a group of beauties dancing and singing?

Having said that, it doesn't seem to be any different from using your hands. What's wrong with using your hands? Everything must be obtained with your own hands...

Put it this way, the versatile avatar is a magical tool for otakus.

Gao Xuan couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, but Ripples on the side was a little confused. She didn't understand why the old man was laughing, and he seemed to be laughing for something...

Lianyi was straight-tempered, so she didn't understand so she asked: "Master, why are you laughing?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Naturally, Gao Xuan would not tell Lianyi this. He said, "This spell is so subtle that it makes me realize something, so I laugh."

Ripple was a little suspicious. She always felt that Gao Xuan was not telling the truth.

Gao Xuan said: "In this way, I will make it fun for you."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and whispered, "Change."

A puff of white smoke rippled out of the air, and a girl wearing a black and white Taoist uniform emerged from the smoke.

The girl in the black and white Taoist uniform has delicate facial features, and there is a natural nobility between her brows. Her face was full of confusion and panic, and she didn't know why she suddenly appeared here.

The girl turned her eyes and saw Ripple. She cried out in surprise: "Ripple, haha, did you turn me into this?"

The girl in Taoist uniform is Baili Qingtong, and she and Lianyi are good friends. When I have nothing to do, I come to Tianshi Temple to play with Lianyi.

It's just that she was reading Taoist scriptures in her room today. For some reason, her vision went dark, and then she arrived here.

Baili Qingtong was a little panicked at first, but she immediately forgot all about it after seeing the ripples.

Lianyi looked at Gao Xuan hesitantly. She didn't know whether the Baili Qingtong in front of her was the real person or an illusion.

Gao Xuan smiled and said: "It's your little friend, that's right."

Only then did Lianyi meet Baili Qingtong. She grabbed Baili Qingtong's little hand and whispered, "Qingtong, my eldest father has left seclusion."

Baili Qingtong also saw Gao Xuan now, and her face turned slightly red. It was really embarrassing to scream and jump around in front of Gao Xuan.

She was a princess after all, and she was from a famous family, so she quickly calmed down. She took a few steps forward and saluted Gao Xuanji: "I didn't know that the Heavenly Master was here. I'm being rude."

"It doesn't matter."

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "You and Lianyi are good friends, so there is no need to be formal."

He casually pointed to the seat at the front: "You sit down."

Baili Qingtong was very embarrassed: "With the Heavenly Master above, there is no room for disciples."

There were not so many rules in the ripples, so she pulled Baili Qingtong to sit down: "Master, just give me a seat, you're welcome."

It makes me happy to see good friends suddenly appear.

Gao Xuan was also in a good mood. He said, "It's a good day today. I'll treat you to something good."

He thought for a moment and asked Baili Qingtong: "You were born in the palace and followed the national master to practice Taoism. I wonder what you like to eat?"

Baili Qingtong was still a little confused. She didn't quite understand what Gao Xuan meant. She thought for a moment and said, "I prefer to eat Zhangguo's bili. This kind of pear can only bear fruit on centuries-old pear trees. The flesh is sweet and juicy." , full of spiritual energy, which is of great benefit to cultivators..."

"Okay, let's eat pear."

Gao Xuan was already experimenting with spells. With a flick of his finger, clouds of smoke rippled on the ground of the hall, and a pear tree grew out of thin air.

The pear tree grew very fast, and in a blink of an eye it was several feet tall, and its branches broke through the roof. Fist-sized green pears hang on the branches, exuding a rich fruity aroma.

Baili Qingtong's face was full of doubts. She reached out and picked a pear and took a bite. The pear flesh was refreshing and sweet. With just one sip, she felt spiritual energy flowing throughout her body, making her feel indescribably comfortable.

Baili Qingtong showed a look of surprise, and she said in disbelief: "It's actually true."

To be honest, Baili Qingtong always thought Gao Xuan was using illusion.

It's not difficult to conjure a pear tree using illusion magic. Her master can do it too. But to be able to transform a real pear and eat a mouthful of spiritual energy is something that cannot be achieved by illusion.

Baili Qingtong quickly realized that she was a little rude. She hurriedly picked two green pears and gave them to Gao Xuan, "Tianshi, please try them. They are delicious."

Gao Xuan picked it up and took a sip. It tasted really good.

Baili Qingtong handed another one to Lianyi: "Lianyi, you can eat it too."

The advantage of pear is that there is no core, so you can eat the whole pear.

Baili Qingtong was not too polite. She ate three bili by herself, and then she was satisfied.

Ripple also ate two. She didn't have a real body and didn't care much about her appetite.

Bili is indeed a good thing. If you eat it, it can turn into pure spiritual energy. Ripple made an exception and ate two.

When Gao Xuan saw that Baili Qingtong had finished eating, he waved his hand, and the green pear trees fell down one after another and divided themselves into two piles.

The huge pear tree turned into smoke and dissipated, and the roof that was broken by the pear tree was restored to its original state.

Gao Xuan pointed to dozens of pear piled together and said, "I'll give these to you, and take them back to the Imperial Master to taste."

Baili Qingtong was about to use the magic weapon to put away the bili, but the pile of bili had quickly shrunk into a ball and landed in her hand.

This group of green pears stacked together is only the size of one green pear.

Baili Qingtong looked interesting, but she didn't know how Gao Xuan did it.

Gao Xuan didn't wait for Baili Qingtong to speak, he said: "You go back today and come to play with Lianyi another day. Go back and ask the Imperial Master."

As soon as Gao Xuan flicked his sleeves, Baili Qingtong disappeared out of thin air.

By the time Baili Qingtong came to her senses, she had already returned to her room.

Baili Qingtong looked around and squeezed his hand, feeling that everything just now seemed like a dream.

But she looked down and saw a pile of bili in her hand. Dozens of bili are stacked together, but they are as big as one.

Baili Qingtong screamed and hurried out of the room and went straight to Tao Jun's room.

Tao Jun is the head of Qingxu Taoist Temple and a national master. The place where he lives is naturally the most central and most impressive.

That is to say, Baili Qingtong's special status allowed him to pass through the many doorways smoothly and run directly to Tao Jun's abbot's room.

Taoism teaches that the heart of a human being is an inch wide, and the heart of the sky is an abyss.

The so-called abbot represents God's will and heart. Therefore, the official name of the head of Qingxu Taoist Temple is Abbot.

It's just that low-level immortals like Tao Jun don't dare to trust him. Usually they call themselves the head of the Taoist temple.

Baili Qingtong ran into the abbot's room and saw Tao Jun holding a Taoist book and reading in a low voice.

The Taoist sect has been passed down for tens of millions of years, and the great masters of the past dynasties have left countless classics.

Especially for sects such as Qingxu Taoist Temple, the ancestors of all generations have written works. These works also contain the understanding of Taoism.

When Tao Jun is free, he will read the classics of this sect.

Tao Jun saw Baili Qingtong running in. He put down the Taoist book and frowned slightly: "Qingtong, how old are you, and you are still as unstable as a child."

Baili Qingtong didn't pay attention to Tao Jun's lesson. She said excitedly: "Master, Master, what are you looking at?"

She handed Bili to Tao Jun. Tao Jun took it and took a look, his expression immediately became solemn.

Bi Li is nothing, even though she is far away in Zhang country, there is always a way to get it. However, dozens of pear stacked into one do not affect each other, and the weight and size remain unchanged.

If this were a magic weapon like the Qiankun Bag, it would be normal. The problem is, this is Billi, not a magical weapon.

It was entirely because someone used advanced magic to superimpose Bi Li together that it had such a wonderful effect.

The exquisite use of space is simply terrifying.

Tao Jun couldn't laugh. He realized how terrifying this spell was, and his face became more solemn, "Where did you get it from?"

Baili Qingtong didn't notice the change in Tao Jun's face. She said proudly, "It was the Heavenly Master who invited me to eat pears. He also asked me to bring them back for you to eat."

Tao Jun asked: "Have you seen the Heavenly Master?"

"I saw him, he was sitting in the main hall."

"You ran out to play again." Tao Jun couldn't help scolding him.

Baili Qingtong said with an innocent face: "Master, you don't know, I was sitting in my room studying, and somehow I ended up at Tianshi Temple. Tianshi was in a very good mood today and said he wanted to treat me to something to eat..."

Baili Qingtong's mouth was quick and he explained the whole process clearly.

"That's right."

Tao Jun fell into deep thought after hearing this. In his opinion, this matter was not fun.

He has been running Qingxu Taoist Temple for hundreds of years and has set up many magic formations. It can be said to be impregnable.

As a result, at the core of Qingxu Taoist Temple, Gao Xuan casually captured Baili Qingtong.

The numerous magic circles he had painstakingly arranged failed to play any protective role.

He didn't feel anything close to him. This is very scary!

The more Tao Jun thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more he thought about it, the more guilty he became. What does Gao Xuan mean by this, asking me to demonstrate?

There is no need for this. He has already expressed his conviction.

Could it be that Gao Xuan was dissatisfied with him standing by and watching?

Tao Jun lived for more than two thousand years and had a rich life experience. In his opinion, it was impossible for Gao Xuan to do such a thing for no reason.

In the final analysis, it should be a small warning.

Tao Jun felt that he understood what Gao Xuan meant. He was a little angry in his heart, but he did not dare to show it.

Hu Ji said that she gave Gao Xuan the Xuantian Nine Transformations Sutra. Could it be that Gao Xuan practiced the magical powers of the Xuantian Nine Transformations Sutra in seclusion for several months?

Tao Jun felt a little pity when he thought of this. Hu Ji, a vixen, didn't share the good things with him, but gave them to Gao Xuan. It was really hateful.

However, Hu Ji's cultivation level is not weaker than his. He couldn't help it even if he was angry.

Tao Jun thought about it and always felt uneasy. But how to deal with it, he was also in a dilemma.

He only regretted that Ao Qiong and the Golden Horned Demon King were dragging their feet. If they had come earlier, he wouldn't have to be in such a difficult situation.

Tao Jun quietly went out to find Zuo Wentao. As soon as he met him, he asked: "Fellow Taoist, when will Ao Qiong come?"

Zuo Wentao was a little stunned. Tao Jun was so cunning, why did he ask so directly this time. He saw that Tao Jun had a serious face, and it was difficult to deal with it.

He thought for a moment and said: "The Dragon Palace party ends in September, and Ao Qiong will definitely arrive in October..."
