Chapter 152: Mortal Realm Peak!

Tu Ling'er's arrival did not draw much of Han Jue's attention. He continued to Cultivate, striving to reach the Mahayana Realm 9th Layer as soon as possible!

Time flies.

The winds and clouds of the world changed unpredictably, but for cultivators of bitter cultivation, time seemed to have stagnated.

Xing Hongxuan, Chang Yue'er, and Fairy Xixuan had already returned, but hearing that Han Jue was in seclusion, none of them disturbed him.

Seven years passed quickly.

Han Jue finally broke through to the Mahayana Realm 9th Layer!

The Peak of the Mortal Realm!

After the Breakthrough, the spiritual power within Han Jue's body surged drastically!

He did not stop, instead continuing to Cultivate, raising his spiritual power to a state where it could no longer grow.

Three years later.

Han Jue had Enlightenment Sword lead Tu Ling'er up the mountain to Cultivate beneath the fusang tree first, leaving the matter of formally taking her as a Disciple for another day.

After entering the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality, Tu Ling'er discovered that the Spiritual Qi inside was even denser than what she had felt at the foot of the mountain.

"Could this mountain have a powerful and invisible barrier?"

Tu Ling'er was secretly shocked in her heart, becoming even more curious about Han Jue.

Arriving beneath the fusang tree, Yang Tiandong, Xun Changan, Murong Qi, Chaos Heavenly Dog, Black Hell Chicken, the two Little Golden Crows, and the Three-Headed Flood Dragon King all looked toward her.

Tu Ling'er's gaze fell upon the fusang tree.

"This is…"

Tu Ling'er became dazed all over. The moment she saw the fusang tree, her mind inexplicably drifted.

Enlightenment Sword spoke, "You should Cultivate here first. You must not make loud noises on ordinary days."

Tu Ling'er came back to her senses and hastily nodded.

The others did not communicate with her either and continued to Cultivate.

Although Tu Ling'er harbored many doubts, she still kept them bottled up inside and honestly began meditating to Cultivate.

For some reason, she always felt that these people were not simple.

It made her involuntarily think of those prodigies in the Heavenly Immortal Manor.

…

Half a year later.

Han Jue finally raised his cultivation to the Mahayana Realm 9th Layer Great Perfection!

[Your cultivation has reached the Peak of the Mortal Realm. You have the following choices]

[One, Ascend immediately and transform into an Immortal, you can obtain one Divine Ability Inheritance and one Spirit Treasure]

[Two, temporarily do not Ascend and continue to stay in the Mortal Realm, you can obtain a Supreme Treasure]

Without any hesitation, Han Jue directly chose the second option.

[You chose to temporarily not Ascend and obtained a Supreme Treasure]

[Congratulations on obtaining the taiyi supreme treasure — nine-five supreme destiny robe]

[nine-five supreme destiny robe: A Taiyi defensive supreme treasure, a supreme treasure refined from imperial Luck, possesses extremely strong defensive power. After putting it on, you will gain an imperial Aura]

A Taiyi defensive supreme treasure!

Defense!

Han Jue was pleasantly surprised. This was simply too awesome!

The System truly knows my heart!

Han Jue took out the nine-five supreme destiny robe. It was a dragon-patterned golden robe, mighty and overbearing. Golden light shone within the Immortal Cave, and when Enlightenment Sword opened her eyes to take a look, a trace of surprise appeared on her face.

"This is simply too high-profile!"

Han Jue frowned.

But on second thought, he hid inside the Immortal Cave every day, so he wasn't afraid of being high-profile.

He immediately began to make the nine-five supreme destiny robe recognize him as its Master.

Two days later, this taiyi supreme treasure finally recognized him as its Master. It truly lived up to being a supreme treasure!

Han Jue put on the nine-five supreme destiny robe, and his sense of security skyrocketed.

He originally wanted to put the nine-five supreme destiny robe over the Golden Cicada Mystic Robe, but wearing them together felt extremely awkward, so he had no choice but to take off the Golden Cicada Mystic Robe.

"Master, can you give this piece of clothing to me?" Enlightenment Sword asked, pointing at the Golden Cicada Mystic Robe on the table with a very envious look.

Han Jue said, "You aren't going out anyway, so you don't need to wear a Spirit Treasure robe."

"But Master, you aren't going out either."

"If I die, you won't escape death either, so I can wear it."

Enlightenment Sword pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Han Jue originally wanted to give the Golden Cicada Mystic Robe to Xing Hongxuan, but on second thought, the Golden Cicada Mystic Robe was also high-profile. If Xing Hongxuan wore it out to gain experience, it might attract even greater trouble.

"Fine, I'll give it to you. Put it on and go outside. I'm about to Breakthrough, and I'm afraid I'll shock you to death," Han Jue said, waving his hand.

Enlightenment Sword was overjoyed beyond measure, hastily bowing to thank Han Jue before putting on the Golden Cicada Mystic Robe.

Han Jue was left speechless.

This lass actually stripped in front of him…

Although he had already seen it before, this was simply too rash!

Han Jue frowned and said, "In the future, you must not undress in front of other people."

Enlightenment Sword happily looked herself over in the Golden Cicada Mystic Robe and replied, "Men and women have their differences, of course I understand that. I will only change my clothes in front of Master."

Finishing her words, she quickly scurried outside to show off to Yang Tiandong, Xun Changan, and the others.

Han Jue shook his head and chuckled, then roused his spirits, preparing for the Breakthrough.

He raised his hand and sucked the heaven-avoiding stone in the corner of the wall into his palm.

He placed the heaven-avoiding stone by his legs and muttered, "It all depends on you!"

If Han Jue could surpass the cultivation of the Mortal Realm and remain in the Mortal Realm, that would be perfect!

Han Jue began to Cultivate the Six Paths of Reincarnation Art, thoroughly mastering the Mortal Realm cultivation chapter so that he could comprehend the Mind-Cultivation Technique for a higher Realm.

…

Beneath the fusang tree.

As soon as Enlightenment Sword came out, the atmosphere beneath the tree became lively.

Fang Liang, who was meditating and Cultivating, opened his eyes, glanced sideways at Tu Ling'er, and asked, "Will you still return to the Heavenly Immortal Manor in the future?"

Tu Ling'er did not even open her eyes as she replied, "Go back for what? It's quite nice here, isolated from the world, and I can Cultivate with peace of mind. I certainly don't want to go back and suffer."

Fang Liang was speechless. Did the Heavenly Immortal Manor raise an ungrateful wretch?

He was fine, after all, he wasn't a Disciple of the Heavenly Immortal Manor to begin with, and he had once executed missions for the Heavenly Immortal Manor.

But Tu Ling'er was a Prodigy heavily nurtured by the Heavenly Immortal Manor. From childhood to adulthood, she only needed to Cultivate and didn't need to go out. In other words, she had yet to render meritorious service to the Heavenly Immortal Manor.

"One day when your cultivation achieves Major Achievement, you won't end up betraying my Grandmaster, right?" Fang Liang asked vigilantly.

The others also turned to look at Tu Ling'er one after another.

Tu Ling'er finally opened her eyes and said irritably, "What do you mean by betrayal? Although I left the Heavenly Immortal Manor, I am not enemies with it either. How is that a betrayal? Besides, isn't this the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality? Diligently engaging in bitter cultivation isn't that the greatest comfort to Master?"

Right now, even if an Elder from the Heavenly Immortal Manor came personally to force her back, she wouldn't go back.

The Spiritual Qi beneath the fusang tree was simply too dense!

Tu Ling'er could no longer bear to leave.

Rumble—

The sound of thunder came from the horizon. Everyone turned their heads to look as rolling dark clouds swept over. There was no Demonic Qi nor Devilish Qi, seemingly indicating that a rainstorm was about to arrive.

Tu Ling'er frowned and muttered, "That fellow has finally succeeded."

Fang Liang curiously asked, "Who succeeded?"

"Immortal God Ji, the number one Prodigy of the Heavenly Immortal Manor. You haven't seen this person before, but his talent is definitely number one in the current era."

A complicated look flashed through Tu Ling'er's eyes.

Being of the same generation as Immortal God Ji was the sorrow of prodigies like them.

Hearing this, Battle Intent leaked out from Fang Liang's eyes.

He had also heard of Immortal God Ji. One day, he would prove to everyone in the world who the true number one Prodigy of the current era was!

He would win glory for his Grandmaster!

Murong Qi, Xun Changan, and the others had also heard of Immortal God Ji. Hearing the conversation between the two Fang Liang, they couldn't help becoming even more curious about Immortal God Ji.

"There's no need to worry about the Heavenly Immortal Manor. This tribulation of the Heavenly Immortal Manor will definitely be resolved," Tu Ling'er closed her eyes and smiled as she said.

Fang Liang asked in astonishment, "Just because of Immortal God Ji? He alone can resolve the Heavenly Immortal Manor's calamity?"

"Mm, I'm afraid no one in this Mortal Realm is his match."

"He could never be my Grandmaster's match!"

"Your Grandmaster is an Earthly Immortal God, so naturally he cannot be counted as a Mortal."
