Chapter 124: Sixth Stage of Tribulation Transcendence Realm, Guarding Sword Dao for a Million Years

Han Jue imparted the Three Pure Shadow Severing Sword, Sevenfold Illusory Steps, Great Thousand Thunderstorm, and Wind God Art to Fang Liang and Murong Qi.

As expected of prodigious talents, the two of them mastered all of them in a mere half-year.

They were both at the Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, so venturing out now would give them the self-preservation capability.

"Fang Liang, go out into the Mortal World to temper yourself. Once you see through the Mortal World and return to bitter cultivation, you will surely comprehend the true meaning of heaven and earth."

"Murong Qi, from now on, you can also participate in the tasks of the Yuqing Sacred Sect and no longer be bound to this mountain."

Han Jue said with his hands behind his waist, turning his back to the two of them.

Xun Changan and Yang Tiandong under the fusang tree couldn't help but open their eyes.

Han Jue wanted Fang Liang to venture out?

This was the first time Han Jue actively asked someone to go down the mountain.

Yang Tiandong's eyes were filled with envy, and he also understood that he couldn't compare to Fang Liang.

Fang Liang was flustered and hurriedly said, "Grandmaster… Why are you driving me away?"

Murong Qi, on the other hand, was secretly pleasantly surprised, though on the surface, he acted just like Fang Liang.

Fang Liang was cautious, but Murong Qi was not. He was even somewhat arrogant; there was a streak of pride deep in his bones, a pride that Xun Changan could never erase no matter how he taught him.

In Murong Qi's view, his natural talent was peerless, and he deserved to make a name for himself across the world rather than hiding his brilliance like a submerged dragon!

The reason he was willing to stay was also because he felt his cultivation was insufficient.

"Go out and temper yourself, and come back whenever you want to return," Han Jue replied.

Only then was Fang Liang relieved.

Han Jue ignored them any further and turned back into the Innate Cave Mansion.

Enlightenment Sword was still meditating and Cultivating. She had taken a stroll around the Yuqing Sacred Sect, quickly found it uninteresting, and began obediently Cultivating again.

Han Jue sat cross-legged on the bed and began to Cultivate.

Although there was company from Enlightenment Sword within the Immortal Cave, the two rarely conversed. Most of the time, they were quiet and didn't speak, which was just what Han Jue liked.

After staying for seven days, Fang Liang went down the mountain alone.

Xun Changan stood at the edge of the cliff, watching him recede into the distance with a face full of worry.

Seeing him like this, the Black Hell Chicken unusually didn't mock him, instead sighing, "Sigh, is the Chaos Heavenly Dog dead? Why hasn't it come back yet?"

Yang Tiandong said helplessly, "Death is impossible. That fellow has a cheap life; wanting to kill it is harder than ascending to heaven."

The Black Hell Chicken did not reply.

…

Eight years later.

Han Jue finally broke through to the sixth stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

The first thing he did after the Breakthrough was to use the Simulation Trial to battle Xuan Qingjun, who was set to the third stage of the Mahayana Realm.

This time, Han Jue finally did not suffer defeat.

After a battle lasting several minutes, he successfully killed Xuan Qingjun.

Han Jue was slightly dissatisfied; even after executing the Grand Unity Divine Ability, he couldn't instantly kill Xuan Qingjun.

The Devil Emperor was also at this cultivation level. When the Devil Emperor came to kill later, if he couldn't be killed instantly, it would be such a hassle.

It seemed it was time to strengthen his Divine Ability once more!

The last enhancement was back at the Body Integration Realm; now he should be able to take another step forward in the River of Sword Dao.

After much deliberation, Han Jue decided to strengthen the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow World-Breaking Sword Finger.

This Divine Ability could kill enemies from a distance, allowing Han Jue to avoid showing his face.

Han Jue began to ponder deeply and comprehend the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow World-Breaking Sword Finger.

Soon, he entered a state of Dao comprehension.

Two months later.

A natural anomaly arose, alarming the entire Mortal Realm. However, as it was right in the middle of the righteous and demonic war, both factions worried that an expert from the enemy side had broken through.

Naturally, the one who caused this anomaly was Han Jue.

Han Jue came to the River of Sword Dao with familiar ease. This time was different from the past; he could control his consciousness to move forward and stop.

"I should still be able to meet that person this time, right?"

Han Jue thought silently.

He stepped forward.

Figure after figure was surpassed by him. He walked unhurriedly, paying attention to the flashing images of Sword Cultivators along the way.

After a while.

Han Jue saw a familiar figure waiting for him ahead.

He immediately greeted, "Senior, long time no see. Have you been well?"

The other party scoffed, "It hasn't been that long. You've come again. This time I won't stop you; go seek your own death."

Han Jue came before him, cupped his fists, and smiled, "Thank you, Senior, for your repeated help. May I still ask for Senior's name?"

The other party remained silent and did not answer.

"I have already reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and will Ascend sooner or later. In the future, I still wish to repay Senior. With Junior's current cultivation, Senior might not think much of it, but I will work hard towards it."

Han Jue continued. Since the other party had been guarding the River of Sword Dao all along, they definitely were not a mere passerby character; perhaps they were even a peerless powerhouse in the Upper Realm.

There were already two enemies of Han Jue in the Upper Realm; Han Jue certainly didn't want to be isolated and without support.

The other party scoffed, "Cut the crap. I guard the River of Sword Dao simply to protect the Dao of the sword. The Mortal Realm you reside in is not simple; besides you, another Prodigy came previously. Although he didn't walk as far as you, achieving the status of a sword immortal in the future will certainly be no difficult task."

Han Jue raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "What is that person's name?"

"Naturally, I cannot say, but he does share Karma with you."

These words made Han Jue think of a person.

Huang Jihao!

Huang Jihao, who possessed an Innate Sword Heart, had already stepped into the Void Fusion Realm, displaying the demeanor of a Prodigy!

Han Jue didn't think anymore and continued moving forward.

When he crossed the mysterious person, he felt immense pressure with just a single step.

He continued forward.

Second step!

Third step!

Last time, he stopped at the third step and could no longer move forward.

This time, Han Jue took another step forward.

Fourth step!

Fifth step!

Terrifying pressure rushed toward him, causing Han Jue to frown.

He gritted his teeth.

Take another step!

Boom!

Han Jue's consciousness suddenly ignited with blue flames, but his foot still landed steadily.

He understood that he could go no further.

After Taiyi, moving forward six steps was already enough!

Han Jue did not retreat directly; instead, bearing the terrifying pressure, he slowly turned around.

The mysterious person praised, "Remarkable. Your sword Dao talent surpasses all Sword Cultivators across thousands of Mortal Realms."

[Zhang Guxing has developed Favorability towards you. Current Favorability is 1 star.]

Zhang Guxing?

A solitary star wielding a sword?

Han Jue thought silently, then walked up to Zhang Guxing and said, "Thank you for the praise, Senior. Junior will no longer disturb Senior's cultivation."

Zhang Guxing nodded slightly, and Han Jue accordingly dispersed his consciousness.

In the blink of an eye, the River of Sword Dao shattered, and Han Jue returned to the Mortal Realm.

Boom!

The Six Paths Spiritual Power within his body suddenly erupted!

His cultivation unexpectedly began to grow wildly!

[Your Divine Ability, Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow World-Breaking Sword Finger, has significantly improved and advanced to a Taiyi Divine Ability.]

[You comprehended the sword Dao, and your Dao Cultivation has greatly increased.]

Han Jue immediately circulated his Cultivation Technique, beginning to flow with the surge.

Enlightenment Sword opened her eyes and looked at Han Jue in astonishment, but she did not disturb him.

In order not to disturb the Yuqing Sacred Sect, Han Jue activated the System barrier to seal off the Innate Cave Mansion.

After a full seven days.

His cultivation stopped growing. Although there was still some distance to the seventh stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, it already surpassed several years of bitter cultivation.

Not bad!

Han Jue brought up his interpersonal relationships to search for Zhang Guxing.

[Zhang Guxing: Grand Unity True Immortal Middle Stage, guarded the sword Dao for a million years. He has developed Favorability towards you due to your supreme sword Dao Aptitude, but still harbors great doubts about your Heart-Nature. If you intentionally try to strike up a conversation with him again, it will incur his disgust. Current Favorability is 1 star.]

Grand Unity True Immortal!

So awesome!

Seeing the notes at the back, Han Jue couldn't help but wear an awkward expression.

Is this what an expert is like?

So aloof and cold!

Next time, if I just ignore him directly, will his Favorability increase?
