Chapter 168: Gathering of the Yao Race, the Great Divine General and the Immortal Emperor

Hearing Zhang Guxing's words, Han Jue felt secretly pleased.

He had deliberately chosen not to hide his cultivation, precisely to show off to Zhang Guxing!

One couldn't stay low-key forever; sometimes, you just had to show off to let off some steam.

Han Jue loved seeing Zhang Guxing shocked. Perhaps it would even increase his Favorability.

[Zhang Guxing's Favorability toward you has increased. Current Favorability: 4 stars]

Four stars!

I can develop this into a Dao…

Cough, cough!

Fellow Daoist!

Han Jue felt his thoughts were going astray, or perhaps he had become a bit of a closet pervert.

Zhang Guxing said with emotion, "You kid make a Breakthrough so fast. Is there actually Immortal Qi in the Mortal Realm?"

Normally, there was no Immortal Qi in the Mortal Realm, which was why the immortals and gods were unwilling to descend.

Most of those who descended did so out of curiosity or to escape their enemies.

Han Jue smiled and asked, "Mhm, how is my cultivation speed? Can it attract the Heavenly Court?"

Zhang Guxing replied, "More than just attracting the Heavenly Court, I'm afraid even the Buddhist Sect and the Divine Palace would covet you."

Han Jue felt even more pleased with himself.

This was the result of nine hundred years of bitter cultivation!

"Do you really plan to fight the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals?" Zhang Guxing asked.

Han Jue said helplessly, "What other choice do I have? I have no backing, yet I want to protect those around me. I can only grit my teeth and push forward. Even if my teeth shatter, I must swallow them down."

Zhang Guxing fell silent.

Han Jue didn't say much either. He bypassed Zhang Guxing and continued forward.

Zhang Guxing turned to look at Han Jue, his thoughts unknown.

Over the next year, Han Jue came three more times to improve his Three Pure Ones World Extermination, Reincarnation Sword Intent, and Profound Yellow Sword Qi.

Each time, Han Jue merely nodded to Zhang Guxing without exchanging any pleasantries.

…

Inside the Innate Cave Mansion.

Sitting on his bed, Han Jue thought to himself, "Does this brother really not have a grand background?"

With my talent, why aren't you trying to win me over?

Han Jue shook his head and stopped thinking about it, continuing to Cultivate.

Three years later.

True Person Jiuding came to visit.

It had been a long time since he last visited Han Jue, which indicated that the Yuqing Sacred Sect had been very peaceful during this period.

"Long time no see. How has Elder Han's cultivation been lately?" True Person Jiuding asked with a smile.

Han Jue inexplicably missed Li Qingzi.

Li Qingzi would never exchange such pleasantries with him.

Han Jue smiled and said, "It's alright. Has something happened recently?"

True Person Jiuding nodded and said, "Indeed, something has happened, and it's a major event! The Yao Race is gathering!"

"Why are they gathering? What are they planning to do?"

"A Demon Emperor has risen within the Yao Race, claiming he will lead them to prosperity. This Demon Emperor is said to have the backing of a Demon Race Immortal Emperor from the Upper Realm. After the war between the righteous and demonic paths, the Human Race has been weakened. If the Yao Race successfully gathers, the Human Race might really be unable to stop them!"

"So, what does the Yuqing Sacred Sect need to do?"

"I wanted to ask about exactly this. The Human Race's Holy Lands have already begun discussing countermeasures. However, the distribution of the two races is heavily intertwined. Once war breaks out, it will bound to be extremely chaotic, perhaps even more chaotic than the war between the righteous and demonic paths."

"No need to fear. With me here, nothing will happen to the Yuqing Sacred Sect. As for the rest of the world, with Immortal God Ji of the Heavenly Immortal Manor around, nothing will happen to it either."

"In other words, we don't need to do anything?"

"Mhm."

Han Jue said earnestly, "We must know our place. Although we have absorbed the Nine Dragons Sect, we are still not the strongest Sect in the Ten Provinces and Nine Dynasties."

True Person Jiuding took a deep breath, realizing that he had indeed been a bit impetuous lately.

As the Yuqing Sacred Sect grew stronger, the ambitions of some Elders and Disciples also began to inflate, hoping that True Person Jiuding would lead the Yuqing Sacred Sect to continue expanding.

Once one stepped onto the path of power, it was very difficult to let go of it on one's own.

After True Person Jiuding left, Han Jue didn't think too much about it.

No matter how much the Yuqing Sacred Sect caused a stir, as long as he was here, the Sect would not be destroyed!

Han Jue opened his mail to check.

[Your Grand-disciple Fang Liang was attacked by a Demon King] x12

[Your friend Immortal God Ji was attacked by demonic cultivators] x170003

[Your Dao Companion Xing Hongxuan encountered an Opportunity, and her Soul was enhanced]

[Your Grand-disciple Fang Liang had an Epiphany and comprehended a Divine Ability during battle]

[Your Disciple Tu Ling'er was attacked by Yao Beasts] x54928

[Your Disciple Tu Ling'er's Bloodline has begun to transform into that of a Great Witch]

[Your Disciple Xun Changan was attacked by Yao Beasts] x9842

[Your friend the Great Divine General was attacked by an Immortal Emperor]

…

The cultivation world was becoming turbulent again!

Han Jue noticed the Great Divine General's update.

Tsk, tsk.

An Immortal Emperor!

Han Jue's previous wild boasts had attracted a massive wave of hatred as well as Favorability. Because he had heard of the Great Divine General's legends, he had set him as a special follow.

He hadn't expected that in just a few years, the Great Divine General would be attacked by an Immortal Emperor.

It seemed that working for the Heavenly Court, especially as a Heavenly General, was extremely dangerous and exhausting.

It was worth mentioning that the System did not display the Great Divine General's cultivation level. Just like Di Hongye, his cultivation level was unknown.

Han Jue also noticed that the Master and Disciple, Xun Changan and Murong Qi, were being attacked by a massive number of Yao Beasts. The number of attacks was simply too exaggerated.

In other words, over the years, two hundred thousand Yao Beasts had launched attacks against Murong Qi.

And this did not even include the Yao Beasts that Murong Qi had proactively slain.

As expected, Xun Changan was like a low-budget version of Tang Sanzang, possessing an immense attraction for demons.

Han Jue wasn't worried about him being eaten, either. After all, Murong Qi was with him.

Murong Qi was already in the Void Fusion Realm, equivalent to a Demon Saint of the Mortal Realm. For an ordinary Demon King to kill him would be harder than ascending to the heavens.

Han Jue continued to check those friends who were not set as special follows, especially the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court.

Without exception, they were all attacked by demons, with the highest number of attacks exceeding three hundred thousand.

Outrageous!

Simply too outrageous!

Han Jue suddenly felt that joining the Heavenly Court might not be a good thing.

The Heavenly Court was not the strongest power, but it had the most resounding reputation, so it was bound to be targeted by countless experts.

"Looking at it this way, even if I achieve Ascension, finding a secluded Sect is the most appropriate. The Heavenly Court is too high-profile; it doesn't suit me."

Han Jue thought to himself silently.

After watching for a good while, Han Jue finally continued to Cultivate.

…

Two years later.

Tu Ling'er returned.

She first went to visit Han Jue.

Kneeling before Han Jue, Tu Ling'er said excitedly, "Master, on my way back, I was attacked by Yao Beasts and unexpectedly experienced an Awakening of a mysterious power. Could you please check my body to see if there is some powerful Bloodline hidden within me?"

Check her body?

Han Jue frowned.

The Enlightenment Sword looked at Tu Ling'er suspiciously.

Realizing she had misspoken, Tu Ling'er quickly explained, "Previously at the Heavenly Immortal Manor, although my Aptitude was outstanding, no powerful Bloodline was detected. But now, my Physical Body strength is growing rapidly. It's truly bizarre."

Han Jue said calmly, "Your past life is not simple. It's best not to spread this matter around, otherwise, it will bring disaster upon you, and even I won't be able to protect you then."

Hearing this, Tu Ling'er was greatly shocked and asked cautiously, "You already knew?"

"Your Master can perceive the Three Realms; my Soul and Heavenly Eye can peer into Reincarnation."

"Thank you for the warning, Master!"

Tu Ling'er looked lingeringly fearful, and her gaze toward Han Jue grew even more reverent.

Flipping her right hand, a lingzhi mushroom appeared in her palm.

"Master, this is a Heaven And Earth Treasure I exchanged by spending all my Spirit Stones at the Heavenly Immortal Manor. This treasure's value ranks in the top three within the Heavenly Immortal Manor's Treasure Pavilion," Tu Ling'er said with a playful smile.

Han Jue frowned and asked, "Does the Heavenly Immortal Manor already know about you taking me as your Master?"

Tu Ling'er replied, "I have already severed ties with the Heavenly Immortal Manor. Before leaving, I took on a large number of missions to repay their kindness, and my former Master agreed. Currently, the Heavenly Immortal Manor revolves entirely around Immortal God Ji, with all kinds of resources prioritized for him. They weren't opposed to my departure at all; instead, they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief."
