Chapter 176: Divine Palace's Invitation, Fang Liang's Aptitude

Sword God Emperor?

Han Jue was secretly curious and quickly opened his interpersonal relationships to check.

Soon, he found Sword God Emperor's profile picture.

Sword God Emperor looked quite weathered, but his eyes were sharp.

[Sword God Emperor: Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm Perfection, the most powerful sword Dao Prodigy in the Divine Palace for a million years, and also Zhang Guxing's Junior Brother. Because he knows of your talent, he has developed a keen interest in you and intends to recruit you into the Divine Palace. Current Favorability: 3 stars.]

Someone from the Divine Palace?

Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm Perfection!

Just one step away from the Immortal Emperor Realm?

Han Jue was secretly astonished. Since Zhang Guxing had such a powerful Junior Brother, he shouldn't be so weak!

"Why not go to the Divine Palace? I can introduce you. Although the Divine Palace isn't orthodox divine orthodoxy, its power is constantly growing, and even the Heavenly Court has to give them Face," Zhang Guxing said.

Han Jue asked in surprise, "You are a person of the Divine Palace?"

He couldn't help but give a thumbs-up to his own acting skills.

Seeing him so surprised, Zhang Guxing felt a hint of pride in his heart.

"Mm, I used to be. Now I'm all alone, though I still have some connections. If you are willing to go to the Divine Palace, they certainly won't mistreat you," Zhang Guxing said softly.

Han Jue hesitated.

Murong Qi had a grudge against the Divine Palace, so how could he go?

Now that the Dao Field was opened and the Immortal Qi had been boosted, he didn't need to rely on the Divine Palace at all.

Han Jue smiled and said, "Let me think about it further."

Zhang Guxing said, "Can't bear to leave those around you? On the path of cultivation, it's very difficult to drag your family along. Even a Great Emperor of the Divine Palace finds it hard to protect everyone around them. It's impossible for everyone to Cultivate to the Immortal Emperor Realm and live forever without dying. Even for a Prodigy like you, reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm depends on Opportunity."

Han Jue refused to believe in bad Luck.

But he didn't dare to directly contradict Zhang Guxing; after all, Zhang Guxing meant well.

He smiled and said, "If I truly reach a dead end, then send me to the Divine Palace. Right now, it's not that I want to protect everyone around me, I just don't want to undergo Ascension."

He had a few too many enemies in the Upper Realm.

He really couldn't undergo Ascension!

Ever since he got the Dao Field, Han Jue's ambition began to swell.

Undergoing Ascension alone was filled with danger; he wanted to bring his disciples and Grand-disciples along with him in Ascension.

The two chatted for a while longer before Han Jue bypassed Zhang Guxing and continued forward.

This time, he was going all out to see to what extent he could comprehend Three Pure Ones World Extermination.

Zhang Guxing turned around to look at his back, deeply emotional in his heart.

Who would have thought that the rash kid from back then had now become a Heavenly Immortal.

How many years had it been?

To Zhang Guxing, a thousand years was like a dream, passing by very quickly.

This was why there was a common saying: a day in the heavens is a year on earth.

"Perhaps he will stir up his own storm in the Six Realms."

Zhang Guxing thought silently, actually looking forward to it.

Han Jue advanced step by step, surpassing Sword Cultivators one after another who were moving forward in the River of Sword Dao.

Up ahead, the River of Sword Dao gradually turned purple, looking like a dazzling kaleidoscope tunnel.

Reaching this point, the figures of advancing Sword Cultivators had drastically decreased.

Han Jue looked back, but he could no longer see Zhang Guxing.

He took a deep breath and continued forward.

Although he could already feel the pressure, it hadn't reached the point where he couldn't advance.

He wanted to see the limit of his sword Dao Comprehension Ability.

After a long time.

Han Jue's consciousness began to feel somewhat dizzy, as if carrying a giant mountain on his back, making every step extremely difficult.

He saw a black figure ahead, walking in front of him all along with firm steps, without the slightest hesitation, neither unhurried nor rushed.

"Who in the world is he?"

Han Jue couldn't help but wonder.

For some reason, Han Jue actually developed the thought that he was inferior to him.

Han Jue shook his head and kept moving forward.

After advancing about twenty more steps, he struggled with every step and could no longer move forward, only able to watch the black figure walk away into the distance.

He sighed, then withdrew from the River of Sword Dao.

Returning to his Immortal Cave, Han Jue began to consolidate the insights he had gained.

Over the next year, he elevated Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow World-Breaking Sword Finger, Profound Yellow Sword Qi, and Reincarnation Sword Intent to the limits he could reach, though their Divine Ability Rank remained at Grand Unity.

Han Jue brought out the book of misfortune and began cursing his enemies.

While cursing, he checked his mail.

[Your friend Zhou Fan obtained a Buddhist Spirit Pearl, and his Bloodline underwent a metamorphosis.]

[Your Grand-disciple Murong Qi made a Breakthrough in slaughter, stepping into the Body Integration Realm.]

[Your Grand-disciple Fang Liang was attacked by Yao Beasts] x230045

[Your friend Immortal God Ji was attacked by Yao Beasts] x343211

[Your friend Huang Jihao encountered an Opportunity and obtained a Sword Immortal's Legacy.]

[Your friend Mo Fuchou achieved Major Achievement in his Demonic Technique, stepping into the Body Integration Realm.]

[Your friend Great Divine General killed an Immortal Emperor, and his Luck surged.]

…

So many Opportunities!

The Heavenly Dao is definitely opening backdoors!

Han Jue thought silently.

He noticed that Great Divine General actually killed an Immortal Emperor. As expected of the Immortal deity with the greatest meritorious deeds in the Heavenly Court.

According to Zhang Guxing, an Immortal Emperor was an Immortal and undying existence. He didn't know if Great Divine General had completely slain the Immortal Emperor or merely destroyed his Physical Body.

After all, the words "perished in body and Dao" were not mentioned.

"How truly exciting."

Han Jue exclaimed with emotion, then began paying attention to the Heavenly Puppets.

Mo Zhu was still in secluded cultivation, while Fairy Xixuan, Xing Hongxuan, and Chang Yue'er were temporarily in no danger.

Everything was going smoothly.

Han Jue was very satisfied.

Normally at this juncture, women would drag him down, but fortunately his backup Dao Companions were all very cautious, never bringing trouble to him and able to resolve things on their own.

This was also why Han Jue could keep caring for them—they were likeable.

After cursing for half a year, Han Jue continued to Cultivate.

A Reincarnation Heavenly Immortal was not enough!

He wanted to continue making Breakthroughs; the stronger, the better.

…

Yao Realm.

Immortal God Ji stood atop a mountain peak, looking at Fang Liang in the distance who was battling several Demon Kings, deeply moved.

"This kid's talent is indeed remarkable; he's almost catching up to me."

Immortal God Ji thought to himself. In truth, he had heard of Fang Liang's name long ago and had specifically sought out Han Jue back then to ask about Fang Liang.

However, facing Fang Liang, he had to act as if he didn't care at all. After all, he was Number One in the World, so how could he lower himself to argue with a junior?

However, after traveling together for so many years, Immortal God Ji realized that Fang Liang's Aptitude far exceeded his expectations.

This fellow's Luck was too strong. He was always able to encounter Opportunities and could even make Breakthroughs mid-battle, defying common sense.

Immortal God Ji felt a sense of crisis, realizing he couldn't rely on his current cultivation to indulge himself. He still needed to spend time to Cultivate and strive to surpass Mahayana as soon as possible to become an Immortal!

It was just that he was worried he would be forced to undergo Ascension.

"How did Cao Cao manage to stay in the Mortal Realm?" Immortal God Ji was secretly puzzled.

He decided to look for Han Jue again later.

Rumble—

At this moment, rolling dark clouds in the sky exploded with thunderbolts of immense power, and a terrifying pressure pervaded between heaven and earth.

Immortal God Ji was moved.

This pressure…

He suddenly thought of Yang San.

Could another existence from the Upper Realm be descending to the mortal world?

Fang Liang also noticed that something was wrong and quickly backed away.

The Demon Kings looked up and saw a crimson eye appearing within the thunderclouds, eerie and terrifying, occupying most of the sky as it looked down on Fang Liang, causing him to feel unprecedented pressure.

"Hmph, daring to slaughter my Yao Race, you are seeking death!"
