Chapter 230: A Flourishing Mortal World, The Delusional Evil Eye

"What is going on?"

Han Jue frowned deeply and probed his Divine Sense into the heavenly dao token.

Fortunately, his Realm was high enough that this slight scorching could not affect him.

Soon, Han Jue's Divine Sense arrived before the Heavenly Dao Tablet.

He took a look and was nearly scared silly.

Seven hundred and sixty-third place!

His ranking was still rising continuously!

What was happening?

Han Jue hurriedly observed the Crimson Cloud Realm. The number of Cultivators at the Body Integration Realm and Tribulation Crossing Realm had skyrocketed over these years, and Mahayana Realm Cultivators continued to emerge.

Not long after, Han Jue captured the image of the White-Robed Buddha.

This fellow was preaching to thousands of Cultivators on a high mountain. These Cultivators were at least at the Body Integration Realm, and there were continuous Breakthroughs among them.

Not only that, but more Cultivators kept arriving to listen to the sermon.

No wonder the fortune of the Crimson Cloud Realm was rising so rapidly.

As the fortune of the Crimson Cloud Realm surged, Han Jue clearly felt his own fortune growing as well.

Emperor Taibai had said that to Breakthrough to an Immortal Emperor, one needed powerful fortune.

Wasn't that fortune arriving right now?

Han Jue felt the happy distress of such a situation.

On one hand, he feared that the Crimson Cloud Realm would attract too much attention; on the other, he truly enjoyed the surge in fortune.

Forget it, forget it.

Let's focus on Cultivating first.

Han Jue put down the heavenly dao token and continued to Cultivate.

He was getting closer and closer to the Late Stage of the Reincarnation Golden Immortal Realm. Once he reached the Late Stage, he would be even closer to Perfection.

Once he reached Perfection in the Reincarnation Golden Immortal Realm, could the Immortal Emperor Realm be far off?

Once he reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, would the God Realm still be a dream?

Once he reached the God Realm, would the Daluo Realm still be a dream?

Han Jue gave himself a pep talk, becoming more excited the more he thought about it.

He was full of fighting spirit.

While Han Jue was still Cultivating, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi grew along with the Heavenly Dao fortune.

all living beings rejoiced!

This was not the first time the Heaven and Earth fortune had surged; those powerful figures in the Holy Lands declared it a blessing from the Heavenly Dao.

An unprecedented flourishing age had arrived.

Almost every few years, a Prodigy would emerge, each with their own unique style.

The Demonic Path had declined, and the cultivation world welcomed an era of competition between Sects. There were no disputes over morality, only strength!

The Yuqing Sacred Sect was relatively peaceful, and no Sect dared to provoke them proactively.

Because the White-Robed Buddha preached to the world, he also had a reputation. People even built many temples and statues of the White-Robed Buddha.

By enjoying the incense of the mortal world, the White-Robed Buddha's fortune continued to grow.

…

Twenty-eight years later.

Three lines of text appeared before Han Jue, who was in the middle of Cultivating.

【You have reached the age of two thousand, taking another step forward in life. You have the following choices:】

【1. Ascend immediately and become famous in the Immortal Realm. You can obtain one heavenly dao spirit stone, one Divine Ability Inheritance, and one supreme treasure.】

【2. Do not ascend for now and persist in your original intention. You can obtain one Divine Ability Inheritance and one great dao fragment.】

Han Jue opened his eyes, curious in his heart.

What was a great dao fragment?

He immediately chose not to ascend for now.

【You chose not to ascend for now. You have obtained one Divine Ability Inheritance and one great dao fragment.】

【Congratulations on obtaining the Divine Ability — Five Elements Divine Light】

【Five Elements Divine Light: An ancient Divine Ability with extremely powerful offensive capabilities. It can forcibly seize an enemy's Magic Treasure and forcibly break through Formations.】

【Congratulations on obtaining a great dao fragment.】

【great dao fragment: Collect nine great dao fragments to obtain great dao enlightenment and acquire supreme Dao techniques.】

Supreme Dao techniques?

It sounded very impressive, but it was definitely useless for now.

The System truly lived up to being based on a game; it had some tricks.

Han Jue thought silently, then chose to inherit the Five Elements Divine Light.

The Five Elements Divine Light was not a sword-related Divine Ability, and it took Han Jue several days to master it.

This Divine Ability was indeed powerful!

Han Jue opened the Simulation Trial to fight the White-Robed Buddha using the Five Elements Divine Light.

Although he couldn't kill him instantly, he managed to easily slay the White-Robed Buddha relying solely on this one Divine Ability.

Too strong!

Han Jue was very excited.

He liked such brutal Divine Abilities.

Although his Aptitude for the Dao of the Sword was outstanding, he was not passionate about the sword.

His Aptitude was something he had rolled for, not something he was born wanting.

To celebrate obtaining this Divine Ability, Han Jue took out the book of misfortune to start cursing his enemies.

He checked his mail and found no major events had occurred.

Mo Zhu and Mo Fuchou had also been smooth sailing after their Ascension, without encountering any attacks.

…

Below the sea of clouds, an isolated peak hung above the firmament.

On the mountaintop, there was a gigantic structure without a roof. The walls were arranged in a circle like an arena, with huge, ferocious stone statues erected on all four sides.

In the plaza stood a massive stone tablet, and a shirtless man was tied to it—it was none other than Fang Liang.

Fang Liang's hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in wounds.

Cultivators stood on the steps at the edge of the plaza, each of them looking nervous and waiting expectantly.

On the eastern high wall, there was a pavilion. A middle-aged man in rich attire sat before the railing, his eyes sharp.

"I wonder if he can succeed."

A young girl in yellow beside the middle-aged man muttered to herself, her gaze towards Fang Liang filled with worry.

The middle-aged man snorted: "He is the person chosen by our Ancestor, so naturally he will not fail. However, it will still take effort to make him pledge his loyalty to us. Xin'er, are you willing to marry him?"

Hearing this, the young girl in yellow's pretty face turned bright red instantly, and she nodded shyly.

The middle-aged man remained expressionless, looking back at Fang Liang below.

"What is this kid's background, to be able to withstand the Ancestor's Divine Power?"

The middle-aged man was secretly shocked, and his gaze towards Fang Liang was filled with jealousy.

Even with the jealousy, he understood that he would have to curry favor with Fang Liang in the future.

Fang Liang would be the hope for their clan's revival!

"Ahhh—"

Fang Liang, who was tied to the stone tablet, suddenly let out a shrill roar like a prehistoric Vicious Beast, causing everyone on the steps to shudder.

Fang Liang suddenly lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot, and a vertical eye actually grew on his forehead, containing eerie dual pupils.

…

Ten years had passed since he learned the Five Elements Divine Light.

Han Jue, who was in the middle of Cultivating, suddenly sensed the Divine Sense fluctuation of Emperor Taibai coming from the heavenly dao token.

He immediately took out the heavenly dao token.

"Your Grand-disciple Fang Liang has gone missing," Emperor Taibai said.

Han Jue frowned and asked: "Was he captured by the Demon Court?"

Didn't Fang Liang receive an enlightenment from a powerful figure before?

He had thought that a powerful figure in the Heavenly Court had taken a liking to Fang Liang.

"No, he went out for training. He has been gone for decades, exceeding the deadline he promised to return by. I sent Clairvoyant and Shunfeng Er to investigate, but they couldn't find his tracks either," Emperor Taibai said helplessly.

None of Han Jue's Grand-disciples were worry-free.

Murong Qi was the same; as soon as he entered the Heavenly Court, he dragged the Great Divine General away.

Han Jue asked: "Even His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor cannot find him?"

"The world is vast, unless it is within the scope of the Heavenly Court's fortune."

"Alright, I understand. Thank you for your trouble."

"He is a Child of fortune. Once he reaches the Immortal Realm, his fortune will not be bad. Perhaps he is a lucky person who will have his own protection."

"Mm."

After ending the connection, Han Jue began to check his interpersonal relationships.

Fang Liang's portrait was still there.

He continued to check the mail and soon found news about Fang Liang.

【Your Grand-disciple Fang Liang inherited the Delusional Evil Eye and successfully stepped into the Taiyi Celestial Immortal Realm.】

Taiyi Celestial Immortal Realm?

Tsk tsk, he's skyrocketing fast!

Han Jue was immediately relieved; it seemed Fang Liang was fine and had even obtained a great Opportunity.

Even if he worried, it would be useless; he couldn't go to the Immortal Realm to find Fang Liang anyway.

If it really reached a critical moment, Fang Liang could still use the God Summoning Art to summon him over for support.

Damn, that's a late-night bomb.
