Chapter 156: Challenge of the Number One in the World [Third Update, seeking monthly votes]

4-star Favorability just like that?

Han Jue sighed inwardly, ignored his descendants and disciples, and walked towards Xing Hongxuan's Immortal Cave.

Arriving inside Xing Hongxuan's Immortal Cave, Han Jue received a warm welcome from Xing Hongxuan.

Han Jue originally wanted to chat with her for a bit, but he didn't expect her to be so eager.

He had no choice but to use his magical power to shroud the Immortal Cave to prevent any commotion from spreading out.

A month later.

The two of them were neatly dressed and sitting opposite each other.

Han Jue took out the cold lord glazed crown and gifted it to Xing Hongxuan.

Xing Hongxuan accepted it happily and stopped exchanging polite pleasantries.

She took out a Medicinal Pill she had accidentally obtained and wanted to give it to Han Jue, but Han Jue refused.

"I no longer need things from the Mortal Realm. Take good care of yourself from now on," Han Jue chuckled and said.

Although he had quite a few female confidantes, the one he liked the most was still Xing Hongxuan.

Liking someone is cheap, but giving is difficult.

Falling in love with someone might be because she looks good, because she said something you deeply agreed with, or because she smiled at you when you were at your lowest.

But only by giving can one prove that person's position in your heart.

In the past, every time Xing Hongxuan went out for experiential training, she would gift treasures to Han Jue upon her return. Although Han Jue didn't thank her out loud, he always kept it in mind.

Han Jue asked Xing Hongxuan to take out the Heavenly Puppet, and while chatting with her, he replaced the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Puppet for her.

With a Heavenly Puppet at the Loose Immortal Realm's strength, it would be hard for Xing Hongxuan to die even if she wanted to when she went out in the future.

Xing Hongxuan always wore a smile on her face. She found that Han Jue treated her even better now, and he spoke more than before.

She no longer extravagantly hoped to have Han Jue all to herself; she only hoped she could become the most important person in his heart.

Han Jue could sense some of her scheming, but that didn't matter.

She would rack her brain to please him; what else was there for him to bicker about?

Through Xing Hongxuan, Han Jue also learned about the recent situation in the Cultivation World.

The Heavenly Immortal Manor suffered an attack by the Demon Race and was almost annihilated. Fortunately, other Holy Lands stepped in to help. In the end, Immortal God Ji suppressed and killed all the True Demons with his own power, shaking the entire world with his renown!

Immortal God Ji was now truly the number one in the world in name and reality!

"What number one in the world? I think my husband is the true number one in the world. However, my husband is low-key, and that is what a true cultivator is like," Xing Hongxuan scoffed.

Han Jue said exasperatedly, "Only when you become the number one in the world will I truly be satisfied."

"Alright then, I will work hard. I also Cultivate diligently on usual days and haven't wasted any time."

"Keep it up."

A few days later.

The Heavenly Puppet was replenished with Loose Immortal magical power, and Han Jue had Xing Hongxuan put it away into her storage ring.

Afterwards, he brought Xing Hongxuan out of the Immortal Cave and called Fairy Xixuan, Chang Yue'er, Li Qingzi, and Su Qi all under the fusang tree.

Han Jue deliberately had the Chaos Heavenly Dog, Fang Liang, and Murong Qi surround Su Qi to suppress Su Qi's bad luck, and then began preaching the Dao to everyone.

After becoming a Reincarnation Loose Immortal, Han Jue's understanding of the Dao deepened further.

Every word and phrase of his could allow everyone to gain profound insights, and his voice could even temporarily enhance everyone's Comprehension Ability. The reason for this was that Han Jue integrated his own Dao into his voice, allowing them to comprehend it together.

This lecture lasted for a year.

Han Jue stopped preaching, and everyone snapped back to reality.

[Tu Ling'er's Favorability toward you has increased. Current Favorability: 5 stars]

Not only Tu Ling'er, but everyone else's Favorability also increased to varying degrees.

Han Jue stood up and smiled, saying, "That's it for today. I should also continue to Cultivate."

He turned around and walked back to the Innate Cave Mansion, and Enlightenment Sword quickly followed behind him.

Li Qingzi sighed with emotion, "Elder Han is truly getting more and more formidable. It feels as though he has already achieved Immortal Ascension."

Fairy Xixuan asked doubtfully, "If he has achieved Immortal Ascension, how can he still stay in the Mortal Realm?"

The others were also curious about Han Jue's Realm.

Su Qi left first, hurrying back to his own Immortal Cave without stopping to continue contemplating the Dao.

…

After achieving the Reincarnation Loose Immortal Realm, Han Jue still did not slack off and continued to diligently Cultivate.

As long as the Yuqing Sacred Sect remained safe and sound, he couldn't care less if floods rose to the heavens in the Cultivation World.

Five years passed.

Immortal God Ji came again.

"Where is Guan Yu? Come out and battle with spells!"

This time, Immortal God Ji did not send a voice transmission to Han Jue; instead, he shouted out loudly, resounding through the entire Yuqing Sacred Sect and allowing everyone to hear it clearly.

Under the fusang tree, Tu Ling'er opened her eyes, a look of astonishment on her face.

Why was Immortal God Ji here?

Murong Qi asked doubtfully, "Who is Guan Yu?"

Yang Tiandong chuckled and said, "It's your Grandmaster. He has other names too, like Cao Cao and Zhao Yun."

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Han Jue frowned. This fellow was a bit arrogant this time!

It seemed that becoming the number one in the world had made him somewhat conceited.

Han Jue immediately conducted a Simulation Trial.

One-shot kill!

Just this?

Han Jue shook his head and chuckled, feeling that Immortal God Ji was far too conceited.

He disappeared inside the Immortal Cave.

Dozens of miles away, it was that same forest.

Han Jue appeared in front of Immortal God Ji. Immortal God Ji had changed into a set of golden robes, but compared to the nine-five supreme destiny robe on Han Jue's body, it was still a tier lower.

Immortal God Ji glanced at Han Jue, feeling secretly jealous.

"He's actually dressed even more gaudily than me!"

Immortal God Ji said proudly, "Guan Yu, I have already slain dozens of Devil Heads at the Mahayana Realm. My strength is no longer what it used to be. Do you dare to fight me?"

Han Jue said expressionlessly, "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't come to disturb me again?"

"I… just wanted to spar with you."

"It never ends. Why don't you and I just have a life-and-death duel!"

So arrogant?

Hearing Han Jue's harsh tone, Immortal God Ji also felt a fire in his heart. But on second thought, what should he do if he couldn't beat Han Jue?

He hesitated.

He gritted his teeth and said, "This time, if I lose again, I will directly Ascend! I will never come to disturb you again!"

"You said it?"

"Un, only a spell duel, regardless of life and death!"

Han Jue suddenly stepped forward, leaving less than half a meter between the two of them. Han Jue raised his hand, pressed down on Immortal God Ji's shoulder, and erupted with magical power to suppress him.

Boom!

Immortal God Ji couldn't withstand it; his legs went weak, and he dropped to one knee, shaking the forest violently.

His face instantly turned pale.

How is this possible!

This spiritual energy…

Immortal God Ji wanted to break free, but he simply couldn't do it. The spiritual energy inside his body couldn't surge out through his skin, and Han Jue's magical power formed shackles that locked him tightly in place.

After a long while.

Immortal God Ji lowered his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "I lost!"

He didn't just lose; he had lost in a complete and utter landslide!

Han Jue withdrew his hand and said, "Cultivate properly. With your talent, you will surpass me sooner or later. As for Ascension, wait a bit longer; the Mortal Realm needs your protection."

This fellow definitely couldn't Ascend yet!

The Heavenly Court was coming soon!

Immortal God Ji took a deep breath. He also had his dignity.

"I will never come again in the future!"

Immortal God Ji got up and left.

Han Jue flashed back into the Immortal Cave and continued to Cultivate.

Under the fusang tree, Tu Ling'er and Fang Liang were still in a state of shock.

The others didn't know Immortal God Ji, but they did.

Even though they were separated by dozens of miles, with their cultivation, they could see it clearly.

Immortal God Ji had been pressed to the ground by Han Jue, unable to move at all!

Just how huge was this gap in cultivation?

"I really did come to the right place!" Tu Ling'er thought to herself.

However, up until now, Han Jue still hadn't formally spoken about taking her as a disciple. Could it be that he still didn't trust her?

Was it because of her previous identity?

Tu Ling'er fell into distress. How should she please Han Jue?

Thinking of Han Jue's Unparalleled appearance, her cheeks involuntarily turned slightly red.

Bah!

How could cultivators like them think of such illicit matters?

Or should she give him treasures?
