Chapter 1162: Long Seclusion

Swish! Swish! Swish…

Sword shadows from all directions sped towards Venerable Seeker of Saints, forcing him to dodge. At first, he could evade them, but the speed of these sword shadows grew faster and faster. In less than ten breaths, his Physical Body was obliterated by thousands of sword shadows, leaving only his soul.

The sword shadows then stopped, giving him time to recover his Physical Body. As soon as he had recovered, the sword shadows attacked again.

Over and over again, Venerable Seeker of Saints was continuously destroyed and resurrected. This kind of torture was excruciating, and he even shouted curses at Li Yao, but unfortunately, he received no response.

Meanwhile.

Li Yao and Han Yunjin left the Heavenly Dao and flew towards the nearest Great World.

"You still need to be on guard against this boy," Li Yao said meaningfully.

Han Yunjin replied, "No matter what, he is my son. He shouldn't try to harm me."

"Do you not have the slightest confusion regarding his soul?"

"What do you mean?"

Han Yunjin frowned.

Li Yao said meaningfully, "Can you not perceive his past life? He seems like a newborn soul."

Han Yunjin nodded and asked, "Is he not a newborn soul?"

"With his Aptitude, if he were a newborn soul, could he be this strong? From childhood to adulthood, was his cultivation taught by you?"

"No…"

Han Yunjin's brow furrowed tightly.

He had been confused before as to why Venerable Seeker of Saints' strength grew so quickly despite his mediocre Aptitude. However, thinking that similar instances had already occurred among the Han Family descendants, he hadn't given it much thought.

Now, hearing his mother's words, he realized something was wrong.

Li Yao said helplessly, "There aren't that many newborn souls. Newborn souls usually appear among Innate Beings or new races. The vast majority of Han Family descendants have past lives, including this precious son of yours. I can already sense the power of a Great Dao World within him. This boy's past life must have been a Great Dao Supreme. Perhaps he hasn't realized it yet, but one day, he will awaken all the memories of his past life."

Han Yunjin was moved.

A Great Dao Supreme reincarnated into the Han Family?

His first thought was a scheme!

A Great Dao Supreme would not be coerced by Reincarnation; they either enter it by force or of their own volition. Regardless of the method, they can choose their birth. The Han Family's Luck was prominent, making it difficult for ordinary people to reincarnate into the Han Family Bloodline. Mighty figures would also fear misunderstandings and wouldn't easily touch upon such Karma.

But that was just speculation; Venerable Seeker of Saints was indeed his son.

If everything were calculated based on past lives, then he would have no children at all.

Li Yao smiled and said, "I'm just reminding you. Since the Karma between father and son has already been established, I'll help you temper him during this time."

"Thank you, Mother," Han Yunjin said with a sigh.

…

…

Ten million years later, Han Jue opened his eyes.

He had originally intended to stay in seclusion for fifty million years in one go, but unfortunately, someone came looking for him, and he had to stop.

"Come in."

As his voice fell, Han Yunjin, who had been waiting outside the Daoist temple for millions of years, entered. He was accompanied by Han Tuo, though Han Tuo had only waited for tens of thousands of years.

Han Yunjin knelt before Han Jue and said, "Father, please save my son."

Han Tuo followed suit, kneeling to pay his respects.

Han Jue did not say a word.

Han Yunjin immediately recounted Venerable Seeker of Saints' experience. After being disciplined by Li Yao for ten thousand years, Venerable Seeker of Saints' temperament had changed significantly, which greatly pleased Han Yunjin. In the years that followed, Venerable Seeker of Saints helped the Han Family overcome obstacles and opened up many worlds. Later, his cultivation hit a Bottleneck, and he went to seek Han Tuo for cultivation.

Han Tuo taught him for a million years and then sent him to the Unknowing Domain to search for opportunities. Unexpectedly, he went missing.

"I have searched for a long time but still cannot find that boy. I can only suspect it is related to a Creator Daoist," Han Tuo said with a frown.

He also felt responsible for this matter. He had traveled through the Unknowing Domain before and knew of many places with opportunities, which was why he had recommended it to Venerable Seeker of Saints.

If Venerable Seeker of Saints weren't Han Yunjin's son, it would be one thing—fortune and misfortune, life and death, are hard to predict.

With Chu Xiaoqi's example, Han Tuo felt that Han Jue might care about his grandson, which was why he and Han Yunjin had come to seek help.

Han Jue said, "Each individual has their own opportunities. He has only been missing for a few million years, so why worry? Among your children, has no one else ever disappeared for millions of years or died prematurely?"

Han Yunjin hesitated.

For some reason, Venerable Seeker of Saints had once been the most rebellious, yet he was also the one Han Yunjin cared about the most.

Han Jue said, "If there's nothing else, then leave. That boy won't die."

Hearing this, Han Yunjin showed a look of joy, and Han Tuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Yunjin bowed and withdrew, but Han Tuo stayed behind.

Naturally, what Han Tuo wanted to ask about was the Great Dao World. Han Jue was not biased and allowed Han Tuo to experience the fundamental rules.

Even if it was only for a split second, it was enough for Han Tuo to get on the right track.

To step into the realm of a Creator Daoist, one must condense at least seven supreme rules. Han Huang and the Dao Ancestor, who were the first to create supreme rules, had still not condensed a second one.

It would take at least another five billion years before a new Creator Daoist appeared.

After Han Tuo came to his senses, he hurriedly thanked Han Jue.

Han Jue waved his hand, and Han Tuo departed.

Looking at his back, Han Jue shook his head slightly.

Among his five children, the one with whom he had the thinnest relationship was Han Tuo. This was mainly because they had spent too little time together, and Han Tuo was not the type to act like a coddled child.

To be honest, his eldest son was more reliable than his other children. Unfortunately, his Aptitude was lacking, being only at the level of a Chaos Demon God.

After his two sons left, Han Jue checked his mail and returned to his cultivation.

Until a new Creator Daoist appeared, the Endless Era would temporarily not bring Han Jue any amusement.

Han Jue prepared to enter an unprecedentedly long seclusion.

…

Dao Secret Realm.

Inside a magnificent hall, Formless World stood on a high platform, looking down at the dozens of figures in the hall, among whom were Chu Xiaoqi and Chen Jue.

Formless World's face was grim as he spoke, "You all should understand why I have called you here. From today onwards, there must be no more fighting within the Dao Secret Realm. We must unite to resist the invasion of the Grandmist. Primal Chaos is leading billions of Grandmist beings to attack, claiming they want to seize the Great Dao Lake. This is a matter of great importance; everyone in the Dao Secret Realm must join forces."

A mighty figure asked, "Rumor has it that behind you stands… How does Primal Chaos dare to come?"

It was no longer a secret among the circle of top experts that the Formless and Shapeless Transcendent Great Divine Being was Formless World's backer.

Formless World snorted and said, "The Great Divine Being oversees the entire Endless Era; how could he be biased? He will indeed help me build the Dao Secret Realm, but he will not interfere in power struggles. Besides, I do not take the puny Primal Chaos seriously. I will deal with Primal Chaos, and you all will face the Grandmist forces. Since Primal Chaos dares to come, I'll just swallow his Grandmist!"

The experts in the hall looked at each other. No one dared to object, but many of them came from various factions, so their minds were wavering.

Formless World scanned the room and said meaningfully, "The time to choose sides has come. When you first arrived, you were merely mediocre, from Mortal Realms that the various Great Dao Worlds did not want. It was I who nurtured you to the height you are at today. I hope you understand clearly. This battle is also a test; if anyone has ulterior motives, let's see if you dare to step forward."
