Chapter 173: One Thousand Years Old, Three Choices

Chapter 173: One Thousand Years Old, Three Choices

Ten years passed after Han Jue learned that the World Honored Buddha Ancestor had reincarnated into the Yuqing Sacred Sect.

His cultivation had also broken through to the Late Stage of the Reincarnation Earth Immortal Realm several years ago.

He cultivated with all his heart and soul, aiming to reach the Perfection of the Reincarnation Earth Immortal Realm.

On this day.

True Person Jiuding came to find him.

Han Jue let him enter the Immortal Cave.

After exchanges of pleasantries, True Person Jiuding felt a bit embarrassed.

"What is it? Just speak plainly," Han Jue said with a smile.

True Person Jiuding coughed dryly and said, "It's like this. The Elders feel that this mountain is very large and vast. They were wondering if each of the Eighteen Peaks could select an outstanding Disciple to Cultivate here. They absolutely won't disturb your cultivation. I wonder about this…"

"No."

Han Jue said calmly.

Before True Person Jiuding could continue, Han Jue said meaningfully, "Although the Sect often sends resources to the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality, the Spiritual Qi of this mountain mainly comes from the tree outside the cave. It is not convenient for me to reveal the origin of this tree. If we open this loophole today, more people will come in the future. This is not a good thing for me."

True Person Jiuding frowned.

Han Jue had saved the Yuqing Sacred Sect so many times. For the Yuqing Sacred Sect to be where it was today, no one's contribution was greater than his, and the Yuqing Sacred Sect owed him far more.

If Han Jue wanted to rebel, the Nine Dragons Sect led by Huang Zuntian and the Blood Flame Heavenly Gate led by Liu Bumie would immediately switch their allegiance to him.

Everyone knew who the greatest pillar of the Yuqing Sacred Sect was.

True Person Jiuding also knew this very well in his heart. He sighed and said, "Actually, I know this very well too. It's just that those Elders often come to talk about it, and I got tired of hearing it. Next time they bring it up, I will reject them outright."

Han Jue nodded and said, "Sect Master, don't put all your focus on the Sect. You also need to spend time cultivating. How far the Yuqing Sacred Sect can go still depends on your cultivation."

True Person Jiuding smiled and nodded.

Han Jue thought about it and waved his right hand. Manuals of Cultivation Techniques and Spell scrolls appeared on the table.

These were all Dao techniques resources he had previously seized from his enemies' storage rings. They weren't all of them, but rather a batch of the poorer Dao techniques.

"Take them to the Sect," Han Jue said.

True Person Jiuding was stunned and hurriedly began to flip through them.

Soon, he was shocked.

"These Cultivation Techniques…"

He turned to look at Han Jue and said excitedly, "Thank you, Elder Han! I will absolutely never let anyone disturb you in the future!"

Han Jue smiled and nodded.

After True Person Jiuding left, Han Jue continued to Cultivate.

A few days later, the Disciples of the Yuqing Sacred Sect discovered that many Cultivation Techniques with terrifying price tags had appeared in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion, and there were even methods for Immortal Ascension!

The entire Sect was in an uproar!

After that, whenever any Elder tried to make a move on the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality, they were scolded back by True Person Jiuding.

…

Three years later.

Han Jue stopped cultivating and took out the book of misfortune.

He cursed while checking his mail.

[Your Grand-disciple Fang Liang was sent to the Yao Realm by your enemy, the Black Fox Demon Emperor.]

[Your friend Immortal God Ji was attacked by Yao Beasts] x189,221

[Your friend Mo Fuchou was attacked by Yao Beasts] x107,234

[Your friend Zhou Fan encountered an Opportunity by chance and obtained the Legacy of an ancient mighty figure.]

[Your Dao Companion Xing Hongxuan was attacked by Yao Beasts] x8,653

[Your Grand-disciple Murong Qi was attacked by Yao Beasts] x147,880

[Your Grand-disciple Murong Qi was attacked by a Demon Saint and was severely injured.]

[Your Grand-disciple Murong Qi awakened his innate Divine Ability, his Dao Cultivation increased greatly, and his Bloodline began to transform.]

…

Reading all the way down, Han Jue felt it was full of thrills.

The cultivation world is truly dangerous!

He didn't worry about his Disciples. As for Xing Hongxuan, Fairy Xixuan, and Chang Yue'er, he was even less worried, as all three women carried a Heavenly Puppet.

Han Jue was very curious. With Immortal God Ji's strength, if he found the Black Fox Demon Emperor, the Black Fox Demon Emperor would definitely not escape death.

Why was the Black Fox Demon Emperor still alive?

Han Jue couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to think about it further.

This was a tribulation of the Mortal Realm and had nothing to do with him. Was he supposed to take action personally and wipe out the entire Yao Race and demonic Cultivators?

Half a year later.

Just as Han Jue was about to continue cultivating, he suddenly thought of Chu Shiren.

He wondered how this kid was doing lately?

After all, he was the Reincarnation of the World Honored Buddha Ancestor, an identity even more exaggerated than Murong Qi's. Han Jue couldn't possibly forget him.

He checked Chu Shiren's information and found that Chu Shiren's cultivation was still stuck at the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm.

After so many years, his cultivation hadn't increased in the slightest. And this was supposed to be peerless talent?

Han Jue was secretly puzzled.

He didn't bother to think about it further.

About five years passed.

In front of the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality, Chu Shiren came to the stone tablet and joined the ranks of those kneeling and bowing.

After so many years, there were still Disciples kneeling at the foot of the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality. As the old left and the new arrived, there were always those who hoped to move Han Jue with their sincerity.

Chu Shiren knelt silently among the others and began to kowtow.

"I hope the God Slaying Elder can agree with my Great Benevolence Dao and give up cultivation together to influence all the Disciples of the Sect."

Chu Shiren imagined in his heart.

…

Inside a huge stone hall, the Black Fox Demon Emperor sat on a throne made of white bones. He had transformed into human form, with an eerie and cold face, a head full of white hair, and six massive black-furred fox tails behind him, swaying wildly and kicking up gusts of wind.

The Black Fox Demon Emperor playfully sized up a man in the hall.

It was none other than Su Qi.

Su Qi knelt on one knee in the hall, his head lowered.

"Why do you want to seek refuge with me?" the Black Fox Demon Emperor asked.

Su Qi was now at the Body Integration Realm. With such a powerful Cultivator seeking refuge, the Black Fox Demon Emperor naturally wanted to meet him in person.

Su Qi raised his eyes and replied, "I hate the Human Race. Both of my parents died when I was young. I have traveled among the Human Race for many years and was always attacked. I didn't want to provoke others, but they always provoked me. The greed of Human Race Cultivators is too heavy. To seize treasures, they can even abandon their so-called righteousness."

Hearing this, the Black Fox Demon Emperor showed an expression that deeply resonated with him.

He said hatefully, "The Human Race always preaches that monsters eat people, that monsters are unforgivable, and that monsters are all evil. But in reality? The number of monsters slaughtered by the Human Race far exceeds the number of humans eaten by monsters!"

The Black Fox Demon Emperor found Su Qi more and more pleasing to the eye, but he had not completely let his guard down.

"You seek refuge with me. What do you want to get, and what can you do for me?" the Black Fox Demon Emperor asked with narrowed eyes.

Su Qi replied, "I don't need anything. I only need a place where I can Cultivate in peace. I will Cultivate near the Demon Emperor and just wish not to be disturbed. If the Demon Emperor is in danger, I will definitely do my best to come to your rescue."

The Black Fox Demon Emperor shook his head and laughed.

If he really encountered an enemy he couldn't beat, could a mere Body Integration Realm Cultivator help?

"At any rate, he is a Body Integration Realm Cultivator. Keeping him will also make it easier to unify the Human Race."

The Black Fox Demon Emperor's eyes flickered as he thought to himself.

His ambition was huge. Not only did he want to unify the Yao Race, but he also wanted to unify the Human Race and become the Master of the Mortal Realm!

…

Several years later.

While cultivating, four lines of words suddenly popped up in front of Han Jue's eyes:

[It has been detected that you have reached one thousand years of age, taking another step forward in life. Because you have kept your original intention and always cultivated low-key, you have the following choices]

[1. Extract a random Physique]

[2. Randomly unlock a new System function]

[3. Obtain a supreme treasure]

Han Jue raised his eyebrows.

Cultivating low-key all this time indeed had its benefits!

But how should he choose?

Han Jue's Spiritual Root Aptitude was the Six Paths Spiritual Body, which indeed helped a lot with his cultivation speed, but he always felt it wasn't enough. Looking at Immortal God Ji and Zhou Fan, their Physiques sounded domineering.

The new System function was also worth looking forward to.

Judging from the previous functions, the System functions couldn't directly make Han Jue stronger, nor could they save his life; they were all auxiliary functions.

As for the third option, Han Jue directly ignored it.

There were some errors with True Person Dan Qing earlier; occasionally, it was written as True Person Zhou Qing. Dan and Zhou look too similar, even I got confused. It has been corrected. Apologies, please be informed~~

Yang San's Master is True Person Dan Qing!
