Chapter 121: Enlightenment Sword [Fourth update, requesting a monthly vote]

"Have you seen it?"

Han Jue glanced at the Heaven and Earth Grass and asked casually.

The Heaven and Earth Grass replied, "My previous… When she was Cultivating, she held a stone just like this one."

A stone held by immortals and gods?

Han Jue stared thoughtfully at the deep purple stone in his hand.

He carefully checked it with his Divine Sense. Unfortunately, no matter how he looked at it, this was just a Spirit Stone, except the Spiritual Qi it contained far exceeded other Spirit Stones.

Han Jue threw this stone next to the Heaven and Earth Grass, wanting to see what effect it had.

If it were just a Spirit Stone, it wouldn't be worth immortals and gods holding it in their hands every day.

Han Jue closed his eyes and continued to Cultivate.

While he was busy Cultivating, the entire Cultivation World was surging with winds and clouds.

Demonic cultivators were becoming increasingly active, giving the Righteous Path a bad premonition.

Back when Great Sage Green Python swept across the world, the Demonic Path Sects directly slipped away. Most of the Sects that went to war with Great Sage Green Python were Righteous Path Sects, so after Great Sage Green Python died, the Righteous Path was weaker than the Demonic Path.

Under such circumstances, the activity of demonic cultivators was unsettling.

Until a piece of news spread throughout the entire Cultivation World.

The Devil Emperor from several thousand years ago had actually resurrected!

The Devil Emperor wanted to establish a Demonic Path Imperial Dynasty, an Imperial Dynasty organized by demonic cultivators!

He was recruiting demonic cultivators from all over the world to join him!

For a time, various legends of the Devil Emperor spread throughout the world.

Seven years later.

News regarding the resurrection of the Devil Emperor spread into Great Yan.

By this time, the Demonic Path Imperial Dynasty had already been established for some time, dominating a region.

True Person Jiuding summoned the Elders to the discussion hall on the Main Peak, and Li Qingzi also came.

When Li Qingzi heard that the Devil Emperor had resurrected, his expression became strange.

"Sigh, the world is about to descend into chaos once again."

"What is there to fear? The Devil Emperor is far away from us."

"The Cultivation World has always seen the Righteous and Demonic Paths take turns being strong. This is also why heroic figures emerge endlessly; we don't need to worry too much."

"That's right. As powerful as Great Sage Green Python was before, didn't he still die?"

"The Devil Emperor once united the world's demonic cultivators, but that was how many years ago? The times have long since changed."

True Person Jiuding noticed that Li Qingzi's expression was strange, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Elder Li inquired about the Devil Emperor decades ago. Could it be that you know something?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Li Qingzi.

Li Qingzi hesitated and said, "Decades ago, God Slaying Elder had me specifically investigate the Devil Emperor. Perhaps he calculated something, but he didn't say much and also hoped that I wouldn't spread this matter."

True Person Jiuding frowned, and the Elders couldn't help whispering among themselves.

Guan Yougang pondered and said, "Could it be that God Slaying Elder calculated long ago that the Cultivation World would suffer this calamity, and the reason he didn't mention it was for fear that we would worry?"

The Elders felt this made sense and agreed one after another.

They all knew that the true pillar of the Yuqing Sacred Sect was God Slaying Elder. Since even God Slaying Elder specifically inquired about it, it was clear that this calamity would not be small.

"In that case, all of the Yuqing Sacred Sect's contribution missions will be restricted to within Great Yan, and all Disciples outside of Great Yan shall be summoned back," True Person Jiuding ordered.

Liu Bumie spoke up, "Sect Master, I want to move the Blood Flame Heavenly Gate directly to Great Yan. Is that acceptable?"

True Person Jiuding shook his head and said, "Great Yan doesn't have that much space for you to Cultivate. Just build a teleportation formation."

"Alright!"

On that day, the Elders of the Yuqing Sacred Sect began to busy themselves.

Han Jue was unaware of this matter.

He was still Cultivating, and was still some distance away from the fourth layer of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

On this day.

The Heaven and Earth Grass was about to take human form!

The bizarre thing was that when it took human form, it didn't encounter a Heavenly Tribulation at all.

When demons transformed into human shapes, they all had to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation.

Han Jue looked at the deep purple stone beside it, wondering if it was related.

The Heaven and Earth Grass burst forth with dazzling white light, and the Spiritual Qi within the Immortal Cave madly surged into its body.

Han Jue narrowed his eyes.

Was this transformation method Pokémon or Digimon?

Han Jue joked to himself. During the dry and boring years of cultivation, he loved to daydream about things from his past life to fill the emptiness.

About three hours passed.

The Heaven and Earth Grass finally successfully took human form. It differed somewhat from Han Jue's expectations—not a lively and silly-cute young girl, but a woman who looked very aloof.

Without changing his expression, Han Jue pulled a Daoist robe out of the Lesser Universe Belt and threw it to her, telling her to put it on.

After putting on the Daoist robe, the Heaven and Earth Grass smiled and asked, "Master, how do you find this appearance of mine?"

Han Jue said, "It's alright."

When a man commented on a woman's appearance, "it's alright" meant beautiful.

"This is the appearance of my previous Master," the Heaven and Earth Grass replied.

Han Jue raised an eyebrow and couldn't help re-evaluating the Heaven and Earth Grass.

Dressed in a white robe, she appeared even more cold and aloof. Her black hair was scattered casually, her face was peerlessly beautiful, her eyes seemed to flicker with a faint light, her delicate eyebrows were pretty, and her nose and lips were perfectly proportioned.

Needless to say, this appearance and figure truly matched that of an immortal or divine woman.

Among the women Han Jue knew, only Fairy Xixuan could compare.

"Master, how about I be called Enlightenment Sword from now on?"

The Heaven and Earth Grass twisted her body as she spoke, and she was also sizing up her own physique.

Han Jue's face twitched slightly.

Enlightenment Sword…

A Fairy with this name?

Forget it, let's go with this.

Too lazy to think about it.

Anyway, she was just a blade of grass.

"Mn." Han Jue nodded in agreement.

From then on, the Heaven and Earth Grass changed her name to Enlightenment Sword.

Enlightenment Sword blinked her eyes and asked, "Master, shouldn't you impart the Dao of the Sword to me?"

Han Jue felt a bit unaccustomed. The previous Heaven and Earth Grass was loud and boisterous, just like a green girl, but now she spoke very maturely—the contrast was simply too huge.

"Then I will impart the Divine Sword Finger to you first."

Just like that, Han Jue began to teach Enlightenment Sword sword techniques hand-in-hand.

Time flew by.

The changes in the Cultivation World were like rivers and seas, sometimes calm and sometimes turbulent with monstrous waves.

The Yuqing Sacred Sect had always remained in peace.

Thirteen years passed.

Han Jue finally broke through to the fourth layer of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

He pleasantly discovered that ever since the deep purple stone appeared, the Spiritual Qi of the Innate Cave Mansion had been constantly increasing, making his Breakthrough speed not much slower than before.

Enlightenment Sword's Aptitude also somewhat surprised Han Jue. After taking human form, Enlightenment Sword's cultivation speed was even faster. She truly had a talent for the Dao of the Sword, even surpassing Han Jue's Disciples and Grand-disciples.

Currently, she had already mastered the Divine Sword Finger and the Three Pure Shadow Severing Sword.

Han Jue didn't continue imparting more, mainly because her cultivation was not yet profound enough to handle even stronger sword techniques.

About another half a year passed.

Xing Hongxuan came back.

The moment she saw Enlightenment Sword, her expression instantly changed, and she asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Enlightenment Sword replied, "Enlightenment Sword."

What kind of lousy name is that?

Xing Hongxuan felt extremely displeased in her heart, and she looked toward Han Jue.

Han Jue said expressionlessly, "Go Cultivate outside the cave first."

Go out?

Enlightenment Sword curled her lips. This was the first time she had been chased out by Han Jue.

However, she didn't dare to violate Han Jue's will, and could only reluctantly go out.

As soon as she went out, she frightened Yang Tiandong and the others.

How did a Fairy run out of Master's Immortal Cave?

"She is the transformation of a Spiritual Plant I previously raised; she can increase the Spiritual Qi within my Immortal Cave," Han Jue briefly explained. This sentence was actually the truth.

A Spiritual Plant?

Xing Hongxuan said with grievance, "Husband, if you wanted a woman, you could have told me… I won't go out anymore in the future, I'll move over to keep you company."

"Don't even think about it. Don't disturb my cultivation!"

"But I miss you."

"Isn't having the Heavenly Puppet enough for you?"

"Ah?"

Xing Hongxuan's pretty face instantly turned completely red. Could it be that Han Jue noticed when she was doing those things?

Han Jue changed the subject and asked, "How have you been these past years?"

He wanted to ask if there were any treasures, but felt that asking so directly was bad.

It would hurt their relationship!
