Chapter 19 Xing Hongxuan's Sentiments, Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Realm with Six Spiritual Roots

Returning to his Immortal Cave, Han Jue began receiving the Legacy of the Nine Dragons Demon Extermination Seal.

This was his third Spell; previously they had all been sword techniques, but this time it was different.

As the Legacy memories flooded into his mind, Han Jue entered a state of Epiphany.

The Nine Dragons Demon Extermination Seal was similar to a palm technique, but unlike ferocious palm techniques, it cast a seal that could suppress demons and expel evils.

Casting the Nine Dragons Demon Extermination Seal with spiritual power of different attributes would yield different effects.

Although Han Jue did not have top-tier seal technique Aptitude, his Spiritual Root Aptitude was peerless, allowing him to learn the Nine Dragons Demon Extermination Seal without encountering any confusion.

Seven days later.

Han Jue finally mastered the Nine Dragons Demon Extermination Seal.

The Inner Sect Assessment was drawing near, and the governing Elders of the Eighteen Peaks had already submitted the list of participants.

Chang Yue'er came to visit and told him the rules of the Inner Sect Assessment.

Dueling platforms would be built across the Eighteen Peaks, and Disciples would be arranged to duel one-on-one on various peaks until the top ten were finally decided. Afterward, duels would be held within the Inner Sect city for the entire sect to watch.

Regarding this, Han Jue quite liked it.

In that case, he would only need to make a move three or four times in public, and his exposure wouldn't be that high. Even if he stood out this time, as long as he kept a low profile, no one would remember him soon.

"Junior Brother, the Personal Disciples of various peaks have organized a banquet. Are you going to attend?" Chang Yue'er asked.

It was worth mentioning that Chang Yue'er was also Fairy Xixuan's Personal Disciple.

Han Jue suspected they were related.

In his view, Chang Yue'er's Aptitude was mediocre.

"Not going. You go ahead."

Han Jue shook his head and refused, thinking that generally, such banquets were prone to conflicts. Since they were all Personal Disciples of various peaks, they would inevitably vie for the spotlight, especially on the eve of the Inner Sect Assessment.

"Fine then."

Chang Yue'er shook her head and then left.

Han Jue continued to Cultivate the Nine Dragons Demon Extermination Seal.

Although he had already learned it, he wanted to thoroughly master it so it would be as effortless and fluid as casting sword techniques.

Anyway, the remaining time was not enough to enhance his cultivation Realm.

Just like that, time passed day by day.

The Inner Sect Assessment finally began.

The thirteen Disciples participating in the assessment gathered in front of Jade Serenity Hall. A large wooden board hung on the gate, recording the dueling locations and times for the Disciples.

On the first day, everyone had to participate in the duels.

Han Jue's first battle was at Tianzhu Peak.

Tianzhu Peak ranked among the top three within the Jade Purity Sect, possessing immense strength.

The time was tomorrow at noon.

After noting it down, Han Jue quickly returned to his Immortal Cave.

Arriving in front of his Immortal Cave, he suddenly caught sight of someone.

Xing Hongxuan!

Having not seen her for decades, wearing the Daoist robe of the Jade Purity Sect, her demeanor looked even better than before.

"Husband!"

Xing Hongxuan cried out in pleasant surprise, walking quickly over to Han Jue.

Han Jue was speechless, took a step back, and said, "Young lady, you can't just shout titles like that!"

Xing Hongxuan covered her mouth and smiled, "Didn't we already agree on it back in the Outer Sect?"

Han Jue felt helpless and confessed honestly, "I was just putting on an act back then. If I refused you, I was afraid you would kill me."

"It's fine, I took it seriously. When I met the Sect Master, I was worried whether you would betray me, but you didn't. You gave me the Opportunity to confess proactively, which allowed me to rejoin the Jade Purity Sect and exchange it for my status today."

Xing Hongxuan smiled, took out a jade bottle from her sleeve, and said, "This is the Jade Purity Pill, which is perfect for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to enhance their cultivation. I haven't reached Foundation Establishment yet, so you should use it first. I am now Cultivating under Venerable Jingxu and regularly obtain such Medicinal Pills."

Han Jue was stunned.

Xing Hongxuan forcefully handed the medicine bottle to Han Jue and said, "Work hard in the Inner Sect Assessment. I didn't expect Husband to actually be a Genius. My Aptitude is mediocre, but I will do my best to help you in the future. If Husband achieves the Nascent Soul, you won't treat me unfairly, right?"

She smiled very sweetly and purely, without any feeling of a demonic Cultivator at all.

Han Jue didn't know whether he should refuse.

Xing Hongxuan suddenly turned and left, executing the Flying Sword technique to quickly disappear into the clouds and mist.

Leaving Han Jue no room to refuse at all!

Han Jue returned to his Immortal Cave, opened the medicine bottle, and found seven Jade Purity Pills inside.

He swallowed one first.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that the Spiritual Qi contained within a single Jade Purity Pill was extremely massive. He hurriedly circulated his energy to refine it.

Half an hour later.

He completely refined the medicinal power, transforming it into water spiritual power, which surpassed at least half a month of cultivation effort.

With his Aptitude, half a month of cultivation effort was equivalent to several years of cultivation for ordinary people.

"This pill is so powerful. Is this the treatment of a Core Disciple?"

Han Jue thought to himself in shock.

He suddenly felt that Xing Hongxuan's affection for him was a bit heavy.

At the same time, he was puzzled: just providing the action plan of the Azure Nether Demonic Cult against the Myriad Demon Realm could earn her such treatment?

Xing Hongxuan had merely been a Qi Refining Cultivator active in the Outer Sect of the Jade Purity Sect before. How did she manage to snoop out the secrets of the Azure Nether Demonic Cult?

It seemed her identity was far more complicated than Han Jue had imagined.

Han Jue didn't think too much about it and continued to take the Jade Purity Pills.

After three pills.

His water Spiritual Root successfully reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Realm.

He converted all the remaining Jade Purity Pills into earth spiritual power, successfully reaching the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Realm.

At this point, all six Spiritual Roots had reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Realm!

He swept his Divine Sense outward; it was already late at night.

"Such an overbearing Jade Purity Pill. No wonder the status of an Alchemist is so lofty."

Han Jue thought silently to himself, suddenly developing some thoughts regarding Medicinal Pills.

…

Main Peak.

Inside a dim hall.

Xing Hongxuan sat before an old Daoist nun.

This old Daoist nun was none other than Venerable Jingxu.

"You gave the Jade Purity Pill to that kid from Yuyou Peak. Do you regret it?" Venerable Jingxu asked.

Xing Hongxuan said softly, "I do not regret it. This Disciple has already fallen deep into the web of love."

"Just because he grew a good appearance?"

"Isn't that enough?"

"His appearance is indeed outstanding. In all my life, I have never seen any man look better than him. However, making you go all out to assist him purely based on looks—this master feels it is not worth it."

"His Aptitude is also very outstanding. When I met him, he hadn't even started Cultivating yet. I heard from the Sect Master that he is already at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Realm."

Venerable Jingxu frowned, falling into deep thought.

This kind of talent indeed…

She asked doubtfully, "Why has this master never heard of him for so many years?"

Xing Hongxuan replied, "The Sect Master said he keeps a very low profile. Ever since entering the Inner Sect, he has been busy in secluded cultivation. Previously, the Sect Master even wanted to give him an Opportunity, but he refused on the grounds of being afraid of death."

Venerable Jingxu teased, "If he were afraid of death, how could he have such experiences? It seems he is very resolute and very confident in himself."

Xing Hongxuan nodded.

Thinking of Han Jue's supremely handsome face, her complexion blushed slightly.

"It seems this master must pay more attention to him as well," Venerable Jingxu said with a half-smile.

…

Noon.

Han Jue set off and headed toward Tianzhu Peak.

Standing on his Flying Sword, he wore a conflicted expression.

How should he act today?

He couldn't appear too domineering.

With the cultivation of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Realm across six Spiritual Roots, coupled with peerless sword techniques, Han Jue truly did not take Inner Sect Disciples seriously at all.

He had inquired about it; the highest cultivation among the Disciples participating in the Inner Sect Assessment was only the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Realm.

Disciples with higher cultivation had long since graduated, or had become Personal Disciples, Elite Disciples, or Core Disciples, and did not need the rewards of the Inner Sect Assessment.

At the same cultivation level, Han Jue felt it was impossible for him to lose.
