Only after sensing that Demon Saint E'lai's aura had completely dissipated did Han Jue walk over to Fang Liang to heal his wounds.

Fang Liang was both pleasantly surprised and deeply ashamed.

He asked cautiously, "Grandmaster, why are you here?"

Han Jue replied, "The Divine Ability I taught you was meant for summoning me. Do not tell anyone else about this, including your Master."

Fang Liang came to a sudden realization, and his admiration for Han Jue welled up like an endless torrent, beyond words.

Han Jue raised his hand and sucked the distant Immortal God Ji over.

Under the healing of his Heavenly Immortal power, the injuries of both men rapidly recovered.

Fortunately, their Primordial Spirits were not damaged; Demon Saint E'lai did not seem to want to kill them.

Han Jue couldn't be bothered to ponder Demon Saint E'lai's conspiracy; he would deal with him using the book of misfortune once he returned.

Immortal God Ji looked at Han Jue with a complex expression and asked, "You are already an Immortal, how can you still stay in the Mortal Realm?"

Han Jue smiled teasingly and said, "Take me as your Master, and I'll teach you."

"Hmph!"

Immortal God Ji turned his head away.

He couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

Han Jue was indeed much more powerful than his Master.

However, emotionally, he could not accept it.

He had always treated Han Jue as a brother and a rival.

"Go back soon. This Yao Realm is not to be trifled with."

Han Jue stood up, spoke, and then stepped into the black rift, returning to the Innate Cave Mansion.

Only he could step into this rift. If Immortal God Ji and Fang Liang followed without the connection of the Divine Summoning Art, they would get lost in the Void Realm.

After Han Jue left, Fang Liang and Immortal God Ji fell into silence.

Fang Liang smiled playfully and asked, "Who is number one in the world now?"

"Hmph, let's go back, lest that fellow comes looking for trouble with us again."

"Yeah."

The two of them immediately got up and left.

All along the way, they discussed just how strong Han Jue actually was.

…

Returning to the Innate Cave Mansion, Han Jue took out the book of misfortune and began to curse Demon Saint E'lai.

Time to deal with him!

A Taiyi Celestial Immortal can be called a Demon Saint in the Upper Realm. It seems Demon Saints are not necessarily that strong.

Han Jue thought silently.

Enlightenment Sword asked curiously, "Master, where did you go just now? Why do you have Little Liang's aura on you?"

Han Jue replied, "I went to save him. That kid was with Immortal God Ji and they were almost beaten to death. See, the outside world is very dangerous, so don't you go out."

Enlightenment Sword frowned.

Fang Liang was already very strong, and Immortal God Ji was the number one in the world. Yet, the two of them working together were almost beaten to death?

It seemed that she really couldn't go to the outside world!

Enlightenment Sword shook off her distractions and continued to Cultivate.

While cursing, Han Jue observed Chu Shiren under the fusang tree.

This fellow actually hadn't cultivated since coming up the mountain!

What a lunatic!

If he didn't want to Cultivate, why did he come to acknowledge a Master?

It was also strange. As the Reincarnation of a Buddha, he actually cultivated the Dao. He must be a ruthless character.

Did the Buddhist Sect want to pull the rug out from under the Daoist Sect?

Han Jue had always maintained an observational attitude toward Chu Shiren, not daring to nurture him lightly.

Should he ask his big brother about the World Honored Buddha Ancestor?

Han Jue felt this was feasible.

He would do it next time. Anyway, Chu Shiren didn't want to Cultivate.

When he was on the verge of dying of old age, he would surely get anxious.

Thinking of Chu Shiren, Han Jue thought of that ugly monk, Xun Changan.

It had been so many years. Why hadn't he returned yet?

My poor Grand-disciple Murong Qi has to suffer every day.

Since leaving with Xun Changan, how many times had Murong Qi been attacked? He had even been heavily injured.

Compared to Xun Changan, Han Jue felt more heartache for Murong Qi.

How great was Murong Qi—cheerful, heroic, and respectful of him.

Xun Changan would shut himself off at every turn and think of Qianer constantly. Han Jue even felt like expelling him from the sect.

However, considering that this was the curse of a divine Buddha, he could only endure it.

Who knew how long it would take for Xun Changan to escape this tribulation.

Relying on himself was definitely out of the question. It would depend on when Han Jue reached the Realm of divine Buddhas to personally break the curse.

Thinking of this, Han Jue shook his head and laughed.

…

Thirteen years later.

Under the fusang tree, Chu Shiren had already grown old.

His hair was white, his figure emaciated. Leaning against the tree trunk, he gazed toward the horizon with a vacant look in his eyes.

Yang Tiandong opened his eyes and looked at him, unable to help but frown.

This kid…

"Hey, kid Chu, how many more years can you live? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" the Black Hell Chicken asked with a laugh.

It was only joking. Chu Shiren was a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator after all, so living for nearly two hundred years was not difficult. It was just that he had not taken a Youth Retaining Pill, which was why he had aged.

The Three-Headed Flood Dragon King laughed mockingly and said, "His wish is probably very difficult to achieve. Wanting the whole world to give up cultivation—I even suspect he is a spy sent by the Yao Race."

Hearing this, Chu Shiren whipped his head around and said in a deep voice, "Only when the world gives up cultivation can the order of Reincarnation return to normal. As for the Yao Race, the Heavenly Dao will not tolerate them when the time comes. All we can manage is ourselves."

Tu Ling'er asked, "Then why did you Cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

"I… I did it for the Great Benevolence Dao Method!"

"Hypocrite."

"You…"

Chu Shiren was about to explode with anger.

Since ascending the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality, his good temper had been completely ground away.

These people were too annoying!

It was one thing that they didn't agree with him, but they also constantly mocked him.

Right at this moment.

The door of the Innate Cave Mansion opened, and Han Jue and Enlightenment Sword walked out.

Upon seeing Han Jue, everyone stood up one after another to bow.

Chu Shiren was stunned. This was his first time seeing Han Jue.

What a handsome face!

He had thought the God Slaying Elder would look like an old man.

Han Jue walked to the front of the fusang tree, looked up at the two Golden Crows, and asked, "Are you both ready to break through?"

Ah Da nodded and said, "Yes, but we are afraid of being expelled by the Heavenly Dao, so we didn't dare to break through."

Han Jue threw out two heaven-avoiding stones, one of which was sent by Courier Yang.

"Take these two stones. They will allow you to avoid Undergoing Tribulation. From now on, as long as you do not leave this mountain, you will not be expelled by the Heavenly Dao."

Hearing this, the two Golden Crows were overjoyed. They quickly bit onto the heaven-avoiding stones and began to Cultivate.

Hearing this, the others instantly understood something.

Han Jue had long since surpassed the Mortal Realm!

He was only able to stay in the Mortal Realm because of those two stones!

Han Jue looked at the Three-Headed Flood Dragon King, waved his right hand to present him with the dragon soul of the Abyss Yellow Dragon, and said, "This is a True Dragon soul. Its consciousness has already been erased by me. After you devour it, your Bloodline should undergo a transformation, and you won't have to worry about Possession."

The Three-Headed Flood Dragon King was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly kowtowed to thank Han Jue.

Chu Shiren watched, completely dumbfounded.

Han Jue was intentionally provoking him.

You want to advise me to give up cultivation?

Right in front of your face, I am helping others become stronger!

Yang Tiandong, Tu Ling'er, the Black Hell Chicken, and the Chaos Heavenly Dog looked at Han Jue expectantly.

Han Jue said testily, "Your cultivations are so poor, why are you looking at me? Talk to me when you are close to the peak of the Mortal Realm!"

Enlightenment Sword chimed in, riding on his coattails, "Exactly, exactly! None of you are cultivating properly!"

Han Jue turned around to return to his cave mansion.

Chu Shiren hurriedly ran over, knelt behind Han Jue, and shouted loudly, "Please lead by example, Grandmaster, and give up cultivation!"

Hearing this, Yang Tiandong was almost scared shitless. He rushed over and kicked him to the ground.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Yang Tiandong rebuked angrily, trembling all over with rage.

This kid is truly audacious!

He actually dared to advise Han Jue!

Han Jue turned his head, looked at Chu Shiren out of the corner of his eye, and said, "Anyone in this world can advise others to give up cultivation, except you."

Chu Shiren scrambled up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Why?"

He stared at Han Jue without any fear.
