Chapter 147: Cleansing the Demonic Path, the Helplessness of the Three Venerables

Destroy the Mortal Realm?

Han Jue was greatly shocked, so ruthless?

He hurriedly asked, "With the Heavenly Court acting like this, can it still be considered the Heavenly Court?"

Destroying a Mortal Realm at every turn was simply inhumane!

"How does this even count as anything? Out of the thousands of Mortal Realms, destroying one creates no ripples in the Upper Realm at all. Besides, only the Mortal Realm is destroyed, and all living beings can still enter the six paths of reincarnation to be reborn. Furthermore, have Mortals destroyed few races themselves? Mortals should not center their perspective on themselves when thinking about the Heavenly Court."

Zhang Guxing waved his hand, feeling that Han Jue's thoughts were somewhat laughable.

Upon hearing this, Han Jue felt it made some sense.

To put it bluntly.

It was still the law of the jungle.

Whoever made the rules had the final say!

Han Jue asked, "How much longer before the Heavenly Court cleanses the Demon Race?"

Zhang Guxing replied, "Short as a few hundred years, long as a thousand years; it won't be too long. The forces behind the Demon Saint are about to finish negotiating with the Heavenly Court. What a pity for that Demon Saint, still being kept completely in the dark."

Han Jue's expression became strange as he asked, "Is that Demon Saint the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong?"

"No."

"Oh."

Han Jue had thought he came to the Journey to the West world.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Han Jue continued forward.

…

Returning his consciousness to his main body, Han Jue consolidated his understanding of the Reincarnation Sword Intent.

The Reincarnation Sword Intent was also successfully elevated to the Taiyi tier. His strength could only be said to be more comprehensive, while his attack intensity had not improved.

He still needed to raise his cultivation!

After consolidating his Sword Intent, Han Jue pulled out the book of misfortune and began cursing the Vermilion Bird and Daoist Jue Yan.

No matter what achievements he attained, he could never forget his original intention, nor his enemies.

Twelve days later, Han Jue continued to Cultivate.

The pressure brought by the Heavenly Court could be said to be immense; Han Jue hadn't felt this kind of pressure in a long time.

During this period, he summoned Fang Liang into his Immortal Cave.

"The Heavenly Court of the Upper Realm is preparing to hunt down the Demon Race. With our Mortal Realm invaded by the Demon Race, it is very likely that the Heavenly Court will treat us as an affiliated force of the Demon Race, meeting the fate of being cleansed. The living beings of the entire realm would be slaughtered, entering Reincarnation and being reborn. If you want to avoid this tribulation, you must notify the Heavenly Immortal Manor and have them call upon the Cultivation World to eradicate the Demon Race's forces and clear away suspicion."

"You must not say that I said this; just say that you were guided by a Land Immortal."

Han Jue said solemnly. Hearing this, Fang Liang widened his eyes, and Enlightenment Sword, who was cultivating, couldn't help but open her eyes.

Fang Liang's expression changed drastically as he asked, "Grandmaster, is this matter true? When will the Heavenly Court take action?"

"At most a thousand years, remember, at most. Recently, many Prodigies have obtained great Opportunities; this is the reflection of the Mortal Realm's Heavenly Dao, trying to rely on the power of all living beings to protect itself."

"This Grand-disciple will immediately send a message to the Heavenly Immortal Manor, and will never reveal that Grandmaster said this!"

Fang Liang left in a fluster.

Enlightenment Sword asked curiously, "Master, how did you know about the affairs of the Upper Realm?"

Han Jue said, "I have connections in the Upper Realm."

"What connections?"

"Cannot be spoken of."

Han Jue closed his eyes and said no more.

In Enlightenment Sword's heart, his image was elevated once again.

…

Two years later.

Fang Liang received a reply stating that the Heavenly Immortal Manor had already adopted his suggestion and started notifying all the Sects under heaven.

Less than three years later, True Person Jiuding came to visit.

Han Jue noticed that his Qi and blood were somewhat turbulent; in recent years of going out to gain experience, he hadn't suffered fewer beatings.

"Elder Han, the Heavenly Immortal Manor is calling upon the Sects of the world to hunt down the Demonic Path, saying that due to the Demon Race's invasion, the immortals and gods feel our Mortal Realm has already become a Mortal Realm of the Demon Race, and we fear incurring the wrath of the heavens. Mortals must save themselves. As the number one Holy Land of Great Yan, our Yuqing Sacred Sect has also received a letter from the Heavenly Immortal Manor. How do you think we should act?"

True Person Jiuding said with distress, what kind of nonsense was this?

In his view, the Heavenly Immortal Manor was simply talking nonsense.

Han Jue said solemnly, "This matter is true. The Yuqing Sacred Sect should contribute whatever effort it can."

Facing the overlord of the Upper Realm, the Heavenly Court, how could Mortals resist?

They could only do their best to disassociate themselves from the Demon Race!

Hearing this, True Person Jiuding couldn't help but be moved. Since even Han Jue said so, it seemed to be true!

He didn't say much more and quickly left.

Han Jue couldn't help but develop a favorable impression of the Heavenly Immortal Manor.

The Heavenly Immortal Manor actually believed it. If this were in some novels, they definitely wouldn't believe it, thereby bringing about a great tribulation that forced the protagonist to rely on themselves. After saving the world, all living beings in the world would be shocked, the Holy Lands would regret it, and at the same time they would revere the protagonist even more.

Cough, cough!

On second thought, Han Jue felt that he was being naive again.

Perhaps the Heavenly Immortal Manor also had connections in the Upper Realm. After all, the number of ascenders through the generations of the Heavenly Immortal Manor was countless; surely someone felt nostalgic and, upon learning the news, might have quietly leaked it to the Heavenly Immortal Manor.

As a Holy Land, the Heavenly Immortal Manor could not possibly believe the alarmist talk of a mysterious person for no reason.

No matter what, with Holy Lands like the Heavenly Immortal Manor taking over this matter, Han Jue could Cultivate with peace of mind.

Outside of cultivation, Han Jue would pay attention to Mo Zhu and the other two.

The members of the Mo Family traveling with them were growing more and more numerous. Mo Fuchou and the others truly had no desire to contend with others; they only wanted to find a place to hide. However, Mo Fuchou's Devilish Qi was too thick, and he frequently encountered righteous and chivalrous Righteous Path Cultivators who attacked him.

Because of personal ties, Han Jue was also worried that Mo Zhu and Mo Fuchou would meet with misfortune.

However, as for what needed to be advised, Han Jue had already advised them; everyone had their own path.

It was impossible for Han Jue to take the entire Mo Family into the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality.

Once this precedent was set, his future disciples and Grand-disciples would beg him to take in even more people.

In the Mortal World, who didn't have attachments?

Who didn't have people they cared about?

…

In a gloomy cave, Blood Demon Ancestor, White-Haired Demon Aunt, and Greedy Demon Arhat were seated together in a circle.

A ball of Devilish Qi was suspended between them.

"The Righteous Path of the world has joined forces, and the Demonic Path is in utter misery. If this goes on, in less than several hundred years, let alone reviving the Demon Race, I'm afraid even the Demonic Path will be cleansed down to the last trace," Blood Demon Ancestor said with a bitter smile.

A cold voice came from within the Devilish Qi: "Hmph, there is no need to be afraid. Soon, this seat will dispatch a batch of True Demons. At that time, we will wash the Heavenly Immortal Manor in blood and deter the Righteous Path!"

As the voice fell, the Devilish Qi dissipated.

Greedy Demon Arhat frowned and asked, "Didn't Senior Daoist Jue Yan tell us not to meddle in the affairs of the Demon Race?"

White-Haired Demon Aunt shook her head and said, "It's not that we want to meddle, but if we wait any longer, before Senior Daoist Jue Yan descends to the Mortal Realm, the three of us will likely die at the hands of Immortal God Ji. As Immortal God Ji is now, even the three of us joining forces are no match for him!"

Greedy Demon Arhat fell silent.

Blood Demon Ancestor sighed and said, "We have already become chess pieces; no ambitions are worth mentioning. It's fine as long as we can survive."

"Even if we wanted to Ascend, there is currently no place to undergo tribulation. The Heavenly Immortal Manor watches us too closely; the only plan now is to ask the Demon Race for help."

The once majestic Three Venerables of the Demonic Path all smiled bitterly and sighed.

Ascension required time; if one suffered an attack during the Undergoing Tribulation period, it was very likely that they would die and their Dao would vanish.

Blood Demon Ancestor had once had his Ascension tribulation interrupted.

Greedy Demon Arhat gritted his teeth and said, "Dammit, could the Demonic Lord have ascended because she obtained some intelligence in advance? When she ascended, the Heavenly Immortal Manor didn't interfere at all. How come when it's our turn…"

Mentioning the Demonic Lord, the Three Venerables were filled with indignation.

You could ascend, but why didn't you take us with you?
