Chapter 257 Ascension to Immortality
"You're not dead?"

Before he finished speaking, Gao Lan did not stand up or move, but in the blink of an eye he appeared in front of the woman in white gauze.

The woman in white gauze had a slender figure and was elegant and graceful. She whispered:
"She comes because of fate, and ends when fate ends. She is indeed gone."

Gao Lan's expression changed several times, and then he returned to his cold and stern expression. He sneered and said:
"I never thought that the chief disciple of Shuiyue Temple was actually the incarnation of Xuannv."

Xuannv turned around and casually strolled around the lake, saying:

"The Xuannv lineage has always had close ties with major medieval powers and is not a heretic."

Gao Lan glanced at Xuannv deeply.

Without saying a word, he walked side by side with her.

Both of them remained silent.

Before I knew it, I had circled the lake.

At this moment, Xuannv asked casually:

"Where is your Holy Emperor Demon Order now?"

"The Illusionary Demon came to ask for it in exchange, so I gave it to him. To me, it is no longer of any use."

Gao Lan recalled the past and couldn't help but sneer:
"Actually, I have to thank this Holy Emperor Demon Order. Without it, how could I have secretly attained enlightenment and escaped from this predicament?"

Xuan Nu looked at the lake and said softly, "It would be difficult to secretly condense a Dharma body relying solely on the Holy Emperor's Demonic Order..."

Gao Lan snorted coldly, his tone icy cold.

"I have something else. Illusionary Demon didn't ask, and I didn't mention it either."

Xuannv stopped talking, and Gao Lan also fell silent.

The two of them circled the lake once more, then each went off in a different direction, each going east and west, without looking back.

··········
Within the palace.

Zhao Wuyan held tightly in his hand a token inlaid with gems, and the color of the token kept changing from dark yellow to dark gold.

The aura it exudes alone is enough to make people feel scared.

Outside his door, "Purple Peng Divine Detective" Liu Shengming stood quietly, observed for a moment, then turned and walked towards the Taiji Hall.

Fortunately, Chief Constable Sima Tu had previously sent half of the Holy Emperor Demon Order, otherwise everything would have been in vain.

Yagyu Akira breathed a sigh of relief.

I just don't know what Xianji's plan is. Why would he voluntarily hand over the Holy Emperor Demon Order and cooperate with my Dajin royal family?
Don’t the people of Xianji know that the Holy Emperor Demon Order can help King Qi Zhao Wuyan absorb the power of all living beings and help him condense his Dharma body?
Ryuusuke Akira was full of doubts. He walked to the front of the Taiji Hall and reached out to push open the door.

What caught my eye was the golden throne with nine dragons coiled around it, and a skinny old man holding a green lamp beside the throne.

But the first thing that caught his eye was the girl in white sitting on the golden throne!
The girl was ethereal and holy, with an extremely delicate and perfect face. Her hands like white jade were resting on the golden armrests, and she was leaning slightly against the back of the chair with a solemn expression.

There is a natural air of majesty.

Yagyu Akira had a chubby face and a Maitreya Buddha-like smile. He was slightly startled and then asked:

"Why does the Saint sit on this throne?"

"Could it be that you have the ambition to conquer the world?"

Gu Xiaosang's fingertips lightly brushed the golden armrest, the solemnity on his face faded, and he laughed:
"To compete for this seat, various forces have always fought openly and secretly, making it extremely precious."

"I can't help but be curious. Now that I'm about to leave, and I have a good opportunity, how can I not try it myself?"

"Only when you really sit on it will you know that it's just like this."

“It’s actually no different from an ordinary chair.”

After she finished speaking, she slowly stood up, looking relaxed and comfortable.

Although Gu Xiaosang intended to confuse the throne, Liu Shengming was not worried about that. His expression changed slightly and he asked anxiously:
"Saint Maiden is leaving now? But King Qi has not yet condensed his Dharma body. I'm afraid this matter will be full of twists and turns..."

...Why would I want to leave? Gu Xiaosang glanced at the expressionless lamplighter and said with a smile:

"Although my Luo Sect claims to be able to cure all 'diseases' and all illnesses will be cured immediately, the task of condensing the Dharmakaya is truly difficult.

Otherwise, our religion would have had many Dharma Kings long ago, turning the entire world into a pure land."

“The Holy Emperor Demon Order only helps King Qi quietly refine the power of all living beings accumulated by the Divine Capital Array, increasing the chances of success.

But whether he can finally attain the Dharma body depends on himself. If that is the case, what is the point of us staying here?
It’s better to go home.”

Speaking of this, Gu Xiaosang chuckled and said:

"Anyway, I have already seen the inscriptionless stele.

My sect and the Mietian Sect each seek what they need. Could it be that we are waiting for King Qi to attain the Dharmakāya before turning our backs on him?"

Yagyu Akira smiled broadly and said:

"The King of Qi started preparing many years ago, so he must be quite confident. What I am worried about is not that, but the fact that condensing the Dharma body is very noisy. If there is any external interference, I am afraid that the work will be wasted.

Alas, it would be great if I could secretly attain enlightenment like the Mad King Gao Lan, with few people knowing about it until now..."

"How could I possibly know about the Mad King's affairs? King Qi isn't worried, so why would Constable Liu bother with this?"

Gu Xiaosang responded with a half-smile. Liu Shengming paused.

He turned his head and looked towards the palaces near the Taiji Hall.

Gu Xiaosang put her hands behind her back and walked slowly down the stairs, her white skirt swaying with each step, revealing her pure and holy demeanor.
"Who can disturb the Divine Capital?"

“If all the immortals come, I and the lamplight envoy will not be able to stop the unscrupulous Dou Mu Yuanjun.

What's more, there is also a great master who is elusive. However, the King of Qi has his own plan to deal with it."

Liu Shengming frowned and was about to speak:
"Law……"

The lantern-carrying envoy following behind Gu Xiaosang brushed past Liu Shengming, chuckled, and interrupted him:

"Liu Shen Constable is truly loyal to the King of Qi and the Emperor. There's no trace of him ever being a protector of the Su Nu Dao."

Liu Shengming looked embarrassed and laughed:

"Liu's identity has been discovered by the Saint, but fortunately the Emperor and the King of Qi have not abandoned me. I will cut off my past and start a new life."

Gu Xiaosang didn't even turn his head.

Stepping out of the Taiji Hall, he laughed softly:

"I heard that the current Xuannv and Joyful Bodhisattva have both come down the mountain. Detective Liu Shen should take care of himself."

Yagyu Akira's face turned pale and red.

I watched Gu Xiaosang, dressed in a flowing white dress and looking otherworldly, disappear in the square outside the temple.

The divine messenger holding the green lamp was thin and old, and he followed closely behind like a servant.

The sun was shining brightly just now, but now dark clouds are gathering, and it seems that continuous autumn rain is coming.

The lamp-bearing angel had a green umbrella in his left hand, which he held reverently above Gu Xiaosang's head to protect her from the wind and rain.

He looked back at the gradually receding imperial palace and whispered:

"It seems that Liu Shengming has not yet gained full trust. Now it depends on King Qi himself.

If he can condense his Dharmakāya, the world situation will change dramatically, which will be extremely beneficial to the aspirations of our Luo Sect."

Gu Xiaosang's eyes flickered, revealing a sly smile:

"What does it matter whether he succeeds or not?
After this incident, how can the Zhao family's relationship with other top families be restored? This is the source of chaos..."

Raindrops fell and hit the green umbrella.

In the misty drizzle, the skinny back of the lamplighter stood straight, and the hand holding the umbrella did not move at all.

Under the green umbrella, Gu Xiaosang has a slim and slender figure, with her white skirt fluttering, like a fairy in the rain, spotless.

Dark clouds gathered thicker and thicker, and the sky above the capital was as dark as night. The autumn rain continued, but there was no lightning or thunder.

Centered around the Imperial Palace.

Suddenly, a hazy golden light appeared in the divine capital, covering all directions.

The golden light is like smoke, through which one can see the streets and alleys of the mortal world, the smoke and lights of cooking, the fishermen, the woodcutters, the farmers and the scholars, the martial arts practitioners...

The scene changes.

The golden light rolled and condensed, turning into golden auras that coiled above the palace like a dancing dragon.

Boom!
The Holy Emperor Demon Order in the hands of King Qi Zhao Wuyan slowly floated into the air, madly absorbing the true dragon's energy.

Afterwards, rays of auspicious clouds shot out and landed on Zhao Wuyan, causing a figure of a ruler to appear behind him. He wore a flat crown, an emperor's robe, had a face like a dragon, a real dragon wrapped around his body, held the emperor's sword in his hand, and held a golden seal in his palm!
This is Zhao Wuyan’s “Emperor’s Dharma Image”!
At this moment, the Dharma image slowly moved forward and overlapped with Zhao Wuyan's physical body, seeming illusory and real, slowly blending together.

Zhao Wuyan had a calm expression, his brows and beard were raised, and his white hair danced in the wind, as if sweeping away the dust of time.

He has reached a critical moment. If he can successfully take this step, he will no longer be an ordinary "person" in the world!
But it is the immortal of Dharmakaya!

"It finally begins."

"But you really made me wait so long..."

Right above the imperial palace, a majestic figure sat cross-legged in the sky. He had a Taoist mask with deep eyes and flowing black hair.

Witnessing Zhao Wuyan condense his Dharma body with his own eyes was naturally of great benefit to Yang Chen's practice.

Besides, what he wants and what he plans for is more than just this.
Yang Chen looked up at the sky, his eyes distant and deep.

It can be seen that the center of the dark clouds is getting darker.

It seems like something extremely terrifying is brewing!
"not good!!!"

The changes in the Divine Capital were noticed by the strong men in Yulin Garden. When Cui Qingyu wanted to investigate, the illusion array expanded outward, isolating Yulin Garden from the world.

The trapped Cui Qingyu and others discovered that the old emperor and Sima Shi were in the formation. The old emperor laughed and said:
"My dear ministers, please wait a moment. The formation will dissolve on its own."

"So it turns out that you are the one who truly wants to obtain the Holy Emperor Demon Order!
“You actually colluded with the Luo Cult and the Mietian Sect, intending to use the Holy Emperor’s Demonic Order to help King Qi Zhao Wuyan condense his Dharmakaya!

"Why did the emperor invite the wolf into the house and willingly become a thief?"

Cui Qingyu accused the old emperor of colluding with Luojiao and Mietianmen to help King Qi condense his Dharma body, and the old emperor frankly admitted it!
No more pretending, I’m showing off my cards!
