Chapter 140: Heavenly Court, Divine Palace, Buddhism

When Han Jue tracked down the Six Paths Imprint on the Demon Master, he discovered another Six Paths Imprint beside it. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Mo Zhu.

He immediately connected to the Heavenly Puppet inside Mo Zhu's storage ring and heard the Demon Master's words.

The Demon Race truly refuses to give up!

Hearing the Demon Master act so arrogantly, Han Jue couldn't listen any further.

"Are you going to die or not!"

Needless to say!

He directly shot and killed him with a single finger, just in time to give Mo Fuchou and the other two a wake-up call, telling them that the Demon Race could never succeed!

Mo Zhu was the first to snap back to her senses. She swallowed hard and said, "He just died like that?"

Terror flashed across the black-robed woman's face.

She was the second-generation head of the Mo Family, Mo Youling, with a cultivation of the fifth layer of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!

Her cultivation was the highest among the three, so she felt it more profoundly.

The Demon Master made her feel utterly terrifying, even giving her a sense of suffocation.

Such a powerful existence was instantly killed by a mysterious Sword Cultivator!

Just how strong must the person who made a move be?

"It's a good thing we didn't agree immediately, otherwise we might have died too," Mo Fuchou said with a bitter smile.

Righteousness always prevails over evil!

Mo Fuchou solidified his Dao Heart. Even though he was already a True Demon, he wanted to be a True Demon filled with justice!

Mo Zhu hurriedly bowed in all directions and said, "Thank you for your mercy, Senior! Thank you for your mercy, Senior! Thank you for your mercy…"

She was afraid the other party would strike again.

Hearing her words, Han Jue couldn't help but chuckle.

The three of them did not linger and quickly departed.

Mo Fuchou looked at Mo Youling and asked, "Where are we going next?"

Mo Youling took a deep breath and said, "Search for the clansmen scattered all over the heaven and earth, and then return to the Mo Family's ancestral land. The Mo Family is huge, and the branch left in Great Yan was just a small branch. Following the slaughter of the main Family, the branches everywhere also met the same fate, but just like you all, there are always people who survive."

Mo Fuchou nodded.

Mo Zhu wanted to speak but hesitated.

She wanted to say that since the Mo Family was no longer seeking revenge, could she return to the Yuqing Sacred Sect?

But on second thought, the members of the Mo Family still needed saving, and she couldn't just shirk her responsibilities at this time.

After so many years, Xing Hongxuan and Chang Yue'er's relationship with Han Jue must have become closer. Will I grow further and further apart from Han Jue?

Thinking of this, Mo Zhu felt a sense of loss, and her expression was filled with disappointment.

…

After slaying the Demon Master, Han Jue felt much more relaxed.

It was better to kill him early, lest this fellow pull some other tricks that would affect the grand trend of the world, and subsequently affect his cultivation.

However, speaking of which, just how strong was the Demon Race?

Why didn't the immortals and gods make a move?

If Han Jue were the master of the Heavenly Court and saw the Demon Race attacking the Mortal Realm, he would understand that the Demon Race was developing underlings and would definitely stop them.

Han Jue felt there might be a problem here.

Why not ask Zhang Guxing?

Han Jue thought it was feasible, and thus began having an Epiphany on the Three Pure Ones World Extermination, raising the essence of this Divine Ability.

A month later.

A natural phenomenon appeared in the skies, causing people all over the world to discuss it fervently. Combined with the prevailing atmosphere of the world, most Cultivators believed that another peerless Prodigy was born in some Holy Land!

Han Jue arrived at the River of Sword Dao.

Passing by figures of swordsmen one after another, Han Jue saw Zhang Guxing.

"Old brother… Senior, long time no see," Han Jue said with a smile.

No matter how the Mortal World surged and oceans turned into mulberry fields, Han Jue could always bump into this sword immortal guarding the Dao of the Sword within the River of Sword Dao.

Zhang Guxing was no longer surprised by his arrival, and instead asked absentmindedly, "The third layer of the Mahayana Realm, and you still haven't achieved Ascension?"

Han Jue smiled and said, "I have enemies in the Upper Realm, so I don't dare to Ascend."

"Oh."

Zhang Guxing did not press further, obviously not wanting to get involved, and Han Jue didn't expect him to help either.

Han Jue said, "Our Mortal Realm has encountered an invasion by the Demon Race. Why don't the immortals and gods make a move?"

Zhang Guxing calmly said, "The Upper Realm is in great chaos, and the Heavenly Court is too busy taking care of itself; how could it care about the Mortal Realm? However, it won't be long before the Heavenly Court restores order."

The Upper Realm is in great chaos?

Han Jue asked curiously, "Can the Upper Realm even descend into chaos? What happened?"

"The Yao Race has produced a great Demon Saint who refuses to submit to the Heavenly Court's discipline and wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court. This Demon Saint likely has a major backing behind him, making it impossible for the Heavenly Court to suppress him in a short time. However, with the Heavenly Court's foundation, it will be resolved soon. Just wait patiently. As for the Demon Race, their era ended long ago, and the Demon Palace can only be considered a second-rate faction in the Upper Realm."

"After we Mortals Ascend, do we directly join the Heavenly Court?"

"Keep dreaming. There are numerous Ascension Platforms in the Upper Realm, connecting the myriads of Mortal Realms across the heavens. After Ascending, most Mortals can only join the immortal cultivation Sects of the Upper Realm. A very small number of peerless talents will be scouted by major factions like the Heavenly Court, Buddhism, and the Divine Palace. You can actually consider it. When the time comes to make a choice, given your Aptitude, you will inevitably encounter such a dilemma. This will be choosing a side; once a choice is made, it is hard to change again."

Zhang Guxing spoke meaningfully, a look of anticipation revealing itself in his eyes.

He was very much looking forward to the commotion Han Jue would cause after Ascending.

A Prodigy like this was rarely seen in the Upper Realm for thousands of years.

Han Jue asked, "Senior, which faction do you think I should choose?"

Zhang Guxing rolled his eyes and said, "Don't harbor any petty thoughts. I walk alone through the heavens and have no faction background. You are of the Human Race, so it is best to choose the Heavenly Court or the Divine Palace. Judging from the current power distribution of the Upper Realm, the Divine Palace, the Heavenly Court, and Buddhism are the three major overlords, standing on equal footing. However, the Upper Realm is huge, and there are thousands of other races, such as the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix clan, the Golden Crow Divine Clan, the Qilin Clan, the Asura Clan, and so on. There is also the mysterious Dao Sect and the Eternal Immortal Sect; the waters run very deep. Since you and I are fated, I will give you a piece of advice: until you reach the Taiyi Celestial Immortal realm, it is best not to step out into the world."

Han Jue smiled and said, "Senior truly is someone of the same path as me. To be honest, in this entire life of mine, I have never left my Sect. Hard cultivation is an everyday occurrence for me. Even if I reach the Taiyi Celestial Immortal realm, I will not step out."

"Really?"

"Really!"

Zhang Guxing pinched his fingers to calculate, sighing with emotion, "You really are boring."

Han Jue almost coughed up blood.

What the heck?

Han Jue changed the subject and asked, "Senior, have you ever heard of Divine Emperor Miaozhen?"

"Eh? How do you know about Divine Emperor Miaozhen? That was the peerless God of War of the Divine Palace who fell long ago. He was once an invincible existence among the Immortal Emperor level."

"How do you compare to him?"

"Far inferior."

"What was the relationship between Divine Emperor Miaozhen and the Divine Palace?"

"Unclear. It is said that the reason Divine Emperor Miaozhen fell was related to internal struggles within the Divine Palace. Divine Emperor Miaozhen was besieged by numerous Immortal Emperors of the Yao Race, but the Divine Palace provided no support. After Divine Emperor Miaozhen fell, the Divine Palace did not even erect a divine statue for him."

Hearing this, Han Jue secretly thought it was bad.

This was a monstrous, blood-deep feud for Murong Qi!

The Divine Palace could not be joined!

"Ascend early, don't waste time. With your Aptitude, as long as you join a major faction, those enemies won't come looking for trouble with you," Zhang Guxing waved his hand and said.

Han Jue said, "My enemy is the Vermilion Bird."

"The Vermilion Bird? Then you shouldn't Ascend; just pass away early."

"…"

Zhang Guxing said with a strange tone, "How did you manage to provoke a Vermilion Bird? The Vermilion Bird Clan is a Divine Beast of Luck; even the Heavenly Court, the Divine Palace, and Buddhism would cozy up to it. If a Vermilion Bird comes looking for trouble with you, the three major factions will probably turn a blind eye. No matter how strong your Aptitude is, you are ascending from the Mortal Realm; it's impossible for you to compare to a Vermilion Bird."

"Listen to a word of advice from me: disperse your cultivation and recultivate, jump into Reincarnation, and change your identity."

Betting open: Which faction will the protagonist join after Ascending?
