Chapter 196: Guanyin Sutra, Flat Peach Banquet [Third Update]

Chapter 196: Guanyin Sutra, Flat Peach Banquet [Third Update]

Han Jue noticed that Xing Hongxuan had obtained the Legacy of an ancient mighty figure, and her Soul had also undergone a transformation.

He could not help but shift his attention to Xing Hongxuan.

Xing Hongxuan was still in the Daoist temple she had accidentally stumbled upon previously. Before, she had Chang Yue'er accompanying her, but now she was alone. Chang Yue'er was not as daring as her, though occasionally going out once in a while was fine.

Han Jue had previously discovered a remnant Soul inside the divine statue, and that remnant Soul had actually awakened.

This was an old woman wearing a Daoist robe, looking somewhat different from her usual image.

She was floating above Xing Hongxuan's head, chanting scriptures.

Han Jue listened quietly, and the more he listened, the more wrong it felt.

Why was it a Buddhist scripture?

Preaching Buddhism in a Daoist temple?

What kind of logic was this?

Han Jue checked Xing Hongxuan's avatar in the interpersonal relationships and confirmed that Xing Hongxuan had not suffered Possession, and her Favorability had not dropped either, which finally put his mind at ease.

He used his Divine Sense to probe this remnant Soul.

Taiyi Celestial Immortal cultivation!

However, that was only the Realm; her actual strength might not even be as good as a Loose Immortal, and she was already like a candle flickering in the wind.

Han Jue continued to observe.

After a long while.

Xing Hongxuan opened her eyes and spoke, "Master, can this Guanyin Sutra really lead to Immortal Ascension?"

The old woman said, "That is naturally the case. Buddhism emphasizes that all living beings are equal, and any Aptitude can allow one to become a Buddha or a Bodhisattva, as long as one has a firm Buddhist heart. This is your only way out; your Aptitude is indeed mediocre, and Mortal Realm Cultivation Techniques cannot help you."

"Your Master has little time left, and I am giving you even my Soul. Do not forget what you promised me."

As her voice trailed off, the old woman's remnant Soul gradually dissipated like drifting clouds and mist.

Xing Hongxuan was not sad at all; instead, she was very calm.

Han Jue suddenly materialized in front of her.

"Husband!"

Xing Hongxuan called out in pleasant surprise and hurriedly stood up.

In the current Crimson Cloud Realm, Han Jue could go wherever he wanted because he was an immortal and god of the Heavenly Dao.

"Who was that just now?" Han Jue asked.

Xing Hongxuan replied, "An Upper Realm Buddhist cultivator who descended to the Mortal Realm a long time ago. Her physical body perished, leaving only a wisp of remnant Soul. She passed down her Cultivation Technique to me, hoping that after I ascend, I can convey her grievances to Buddhism and let the Buddha uphold justice for her."

Han Jue asked in puzzlement, "What grievances?"

Xing Hongxuan did not hide anything either and answered truthfully, "A long time ago, a great calamity of the heavens and earth affected the Mortal Realm. She and the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court came to the Mortal Realm in a group, wanting to purge the Demon Race, but they ended up being betrayed by the immortals and gods."

It concerned the Heavenly Court?

Han Jue did not overthink it either. By the time Xing Hongxuan reached Buddhism, who knew if it would be several thousand years later, or perhaps tens of thousands of years later.

"How are you holding up?" Han Jue asked. He grabbed Xing Hongxuan's wrist to check her body.

Her spiritual power was stable, and there were no potential dangers within her body.

Xing Hongxuan smiled and said, "I'm fine. This Guanyin Sutra is indeed formidable. Husband, do you want it? You can give it to your female Disciples to Cultivate in the future."

Han Jue hesitated and said, "Is this really appropriate? Didn't she tell you that you are not allowed to pass on the Cultivation Technique?"

"She did say so, but she's already gone. Besides, anything of mine belongs to my husband, and I will still follow the agreement to tell Buddhism about her hatred."

"Alright then, let me check if this Cultivation Technique has any dangers."

Han Jue replied. In all kinds of Xianxia novels, Buddhism was always the one smeared the most, without exception.

It was as if all Buddhas were hypocritical, and the Buddha would brainwash people.

Xing Hongxuan immediately imparted the Guanyin Sutra to Han Jue.

This Cultivation Technique had no written records and relied entirely on oral transmission.

After listening, Han Jue began to sort it out.

The Guanyin Sutra was indeed extraordinary. It could actually allow one to Cultivate directly to the Grand Unity True Immortal Realm, and upon Major Achievement, one could Cultivate the Guanyin Dharma Form, possessing peerless Divine Abilities.

Han Jue sorted through it repeatedly and did not find any flaws.

"Continue your cultivation."

Han Jue said as he opened his eyes, then left.

Xing Hongxuan was already used to Han Jue's brisk and decisive personality.

She resumed her cross-legged posture and continued to Cultivate.

…

Returning to the Innate Cave Mansion, Han Jue revealed a smile.

Xing Hongxuan also had her own Opportunity and probably wouldn't die of old age; this was for the best, as it could save Han Jue some worry.

Nowadays, the people around him, unless they spent years outside, as long as they were willing to stay and Cultivate in the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality, would not Face the problem of their lifespans coming to an end.

Ever since the fusang tree was watered with immortal water, the Spiritual Qi of the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality had been continuously soaring.

With that thought, Han Jue continued to Cultivate.

Another eleven years passed, and he finally broke through to the Middle Stage of the Reincarnation True Immortal Realm.

His magic power soared once again!

Han Jue was in a pleasant mood.

He just loved this feeling of breaking through, and he felt all the more grateful that he had spent over a decade rolling for Luck and Spiritual Root Aptitude back then.

Suffering and feeling憋屈 for over a dozen years was traded for a lifetime of comfort!

Han Jue rallied his caution and continued his cultivation, targeting the Late Stage of the True Immortal Realm!

About three more years passed.

Di Taibai personally came looking for him.

Han Jue invited him into the cave mansion.

One had to admit, high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court were truly extraordinary, casually descending to the Mortal Realm. If it were any other immortal or god, that would be violating the heavenly law.

After Enlightenment Sword was chased out, Di Taibai sat by the table and smiled, "I heard you are already a True Immortal?"

Clearly, the matter of Long Shan being scared away had already reached the Celestial Emperor's ears.

"Mm, just by fluke." Han Jue said modestly.

Di Taibai stroked his beard and smiled, "As expected of the Prodigy personally fancied by Your Majesty. You no longer need to worry about the Undying Great Emperor; the Great Divine General has already slain him. Although his Soul did not perish completely, at least he will find it difficult to make waves within a million years."

A million years was enough for Han Jue to rise to prominence!

Han Jue said, "Many thanks to the Heavenly Court, many thanks to His Majesty the Celestial Emperor, and many thanks to the Great Divine General!"

"The once-every-ten-thousand-years Flat Peach Banquet is about to begin in a hundred years. Do you want to go? If you want to, I will give you an invitation card." Di Taibai asked.

Han Jue thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I hate trouble."

Di Taibai smiled, "What trouble could there be at the Heavenly Court's Flat Peach Banquet? Rest assured, your identity will not be made public, and His Majesty the Celestial Emperor will not mention you either. You are just going in to enjoy the flat peaches and witness the prestige of the Heavenly Court along the way."

Han Jue hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this His Majesty the Celestial Emperor's idea?"

"Mm, a single flat peach surpasses a thousand years of bitter cultivation. Can you bear to miss out?"

"Alright then, I'll go."

Since it was the Celestial Emperor's intention, if he didn't go, it would be showing disrespect.

Besides, the Celestial Emperor having the Great Divine General eliminate the Undying Great Emperor was indeed a huge favor.

Up until now, it had always been the Heavenly Court contributing to him, and he hadn't given anything in return yet.

Di Taibai revealed a smile and said, "The Divine Palace has a reincarnated Immortal Emperor who awakened the Imperial Dao. He beheaded a Grand Unity Golden Immortal when he was a Grand Unity True Immortal, and now he is already a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, looking imposing and majestic. He has been conferred by the Divine Palace as the strongest Prodigy of the younger generation. You must Cultivate well; you will definitely have to Face him in the future, and you, too, will represent the Heavenly Court just like him."

Upon hearing this, Han Jue couldn't help but frown.

So awesome?

Just as he wanted to say something, Di Taibai disappeared on the spot.

A red token appeared on the table, with the words 'Flat Peach' engraved on it.

"The Flat Peach Banquet in a hundred years, huh?"

Han Jue thought silently, wondering if the flat peaches smelled good.

Immediately after, Han Jue took out the heavenly dao token, his Divine Sense entered the token to check the Heavenly Dao Tablet.

He wouldn't have known if he hadn't looked.

One look and he was startled!

The ranking of the Crimson Cloud Realm had actually jumped by several hundred places!
