Chapter 244: Di Jun, Eastern Sovereign Supreme

"What good news?" Han Jue asked.

Could it be another invitation to go out?

Han Jue was resistant in his heart; he didn't want to take risks.

Jiang Yi said with burning eyes, "A legend has been circulating in the Immortal Realm recently. It is said that a Divine Treasure of the Dao Sect fell from beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven and was lost in the Mortal Realm. Whoever obtains this treasure can step into the God Realm!"

The God Realm!

An Immortal Emperor is a top-tier powerhouse in the Immortal Realm, but the God Realm is an unreachable existence.

Having just stepped into the Emperor Realm, Jiang Yi was still full of yearning for higher Realms.

Han Jue smiled playfully, "There is only one such treasure, how do we split it?"

Jiang Yi shook his head, "Who said there is only one such treasure? Even if there were only one, who said it can only be used by one person?"

"You help me find this treasure, and I will help you step into the Emperor Realm?"

"Your cultivation must have stagnated, right? Only by stepping into the Emperor Realm can you continue to grow stronger."

Han Jue asked curiously, "Is it true that once one reaches the Perfection of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, no one's cultivation can increase further?"

His own cultivation had always been growing, as if there were no end to it; he had found it strange before.

Jiang Yi said, "That is natural. You have reached the limit of mortals; how could your cultivation possibly increase further? Unless you are… never mind, there is no point in telling you this."

"Tell me, were you a novelist before?" Han Jue pressed, feeling anxious inside.

Leaving things half-said is infuriating!

Jiang Yi asked in surprise, "What is a novel?"

"It's not important, Big Brother, just tell me!"

"Unless you are an Innate Being. It is said that before the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, the Immortal Realm was even more vast, boundless. That was a period without rules and without Immortals or Gods. After the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, Innate Beings were nearly extinct, the Heavenly Dao became increasingly perfect, and the bottlenecks of cultivation became more and more numerous."

"The ancestor of my Golden Crow Divine Clan was an Innate Being."

So that was it.

According to the Legacy of Chinese mythology, the older, the more powerful.

The Star Primordial Body must be even more impressive than an Innate Being.

In other words, endless cultivation growth is a good thing.

The greater the talent, the more accumulation is needed for every Realm; it is about thick accumulation and thin release!

Talent is never just about rapid cultivation!

"Tell me quickly, what is a novel?" Jiang Yi asked.

Han Jue replied, "It's just stories."

Jiang Yi asked in surprise, "I don't write stories. Very few people in the Immortal Realm write stories."

"Hmm, then it's fine."

"So, do you agree?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but sorry, I don't want to go."

Han Jue said with an apologetic Face. The God Realm was indeed attractive, but he didn't want to.

Jiang Yi frowned.

Han Jue had rejected him again!

This was already the second rejection!

He couldn't stand it!

He was the invincible Prodigy of the Golden Crow Divine Clan; who dared to give him so little Face?

Jiang Yi snorted, "Sima Yi, do you think too highly of yourself? I treat you with sincerity, yet you refuse me repeatedly. Could it be that you look down on me?"

Han Jue waved his hand, "How could that be? Being able to associate with you, Jiang Yi, is my good fortune. It is just that my Heart-Nature is timid, I fear death, and I don't want to take risks. Otherwise, why would I hide here as a small Mortal Realm God? Even when His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor invited me to join the Heavenly Court, I refused many times. I truly do not want to take risks; I just want to Cultivate in peace."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi frowned and stared coldly at Han Jue.

Han Jue was nervous; was this guy going to make a move?

He didn't know if he could withstand it.

Should he concede?

No, that won't do.

If he concedes, his life is over; he would be treated like a dog by Jiang Yi in the future.

Wait!

What am I afraid of?

I have the Heavenly Emperor backing me!

This is the territory of the Heavenly Court!

Many thoughts flashed through Han Jue's mind, and his confidence grew.

"Refusing me is fine, then tell me a story. If you can satisfy me, I will leave. I heard that there are many storytellers in the Mortal Realm who tell stories of Immortals and Gods." Jiang Yi suddenly smiled.

Han Jue frowned.

Tell a story?

That could work, at least it avoids conflict.

Han Jue sat down immediately, and Jiang Yi sat down as well.

After hesitating for a moment, Han Jue decided to tell the story of the Golden Crows.

"Legend has it that when the world was first opened, all things were in Chaos, and all living beings were ignorant. Two Golden Crows were born on the distant Sun Star, one named Eastern Sovereign Supreme, and one named Di Jun…"

Han Jue began to narrate. This story was from the prehistoric novels he had read in his previous life.

Jiang Yi had an expressionless Face, and Han Jue did not notice the hands in his sleeves trembling.

"That era was called the Prehistoric era. After Eastern Sovereign Supreme and Di Jun reached Major Achievement in their cultivation, they left the Sun Star and came to the Prehistoric land. They used their absolute strength to unify all living beings on the ground, collectively known as the Yao Race…"

Han Jue spoke with increasing enthusiasm.

He wasn't afraid of offending anyone. Even if Eastern Sovereign Supreme and Di Jun truly existed, they were already gone.

Even Haotian and the Twelve Ancestral Witches were gone, how could these two Yao Race Supremes still be alive?

He had asked Emperor Taibai before if he knew of the Prehistoric era, and Emperor Taibai replied that he did not.

Perhaps the history of the Immortal Realm had similarities and differences with Chinese mythology, but it was definitely not the same.

Jiang Yi was soon listening intently.

Han Jue grew more and more excited, just bragging about how awesome Eastern Sovereign Supreme and Di Jun were.

To avoid suspicion, he didn't mention the Heavenly Court.

In the myths, the ones who founded the Heavenly Court were Di Jun and Eastern Sovereign Supreme. After the battle between the Witches and the Yao, they perished together with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and the Dao Ancestor reorganized the Heavenly Court, appointing Haotian as the Heavenly Emperor, who was the later Jade Emperor.

Of course, that was just Prehistoric mythology and had nothing to do with this world.

After speaking for several hours, Han Jue finally finished.

Jiang Yi sighed with emotion, "What a Demon Emperor! What a Demon Sovereign! Daring to fight against Heaven, daring to contend with Saints; even if they died, they would fight!"

Han Jue said, "They were indeed extremely heroic, but they went against the Heavenly Dao and created too much killing karma, unable to turn the tide."

These words were to please the Saints in the dark.

Saints are Supreme; perhaps they don't care about the Mortal Realm, but Han Jue was afraid of the "what ifs."

Jiang Yi nodded; he himself was not a person who loved killing.

Han Jue asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yi said meaningfully, "Satisfied. Sima Yi, you are not simple. No wonder the Heavenly Emperor protects you so much."

He stood up and looked down at Han Jue.

"Your talent is not bad, but your nature is timid, making it hard to achieve great things. You can hide for a while, but not for a lifetime. One day, you will have to enter the world. By then, the people you have left behind may already be looking down on you, and I, perhaps, will have forgotten you."

"I will be the Eastern Sovereign Supreme in your story, while you, no one in later generations will know you."

After dropping these words, Jiang Yi disappeared without a trace.

Han Jue cursed inwardly.

What a damn show-off.

So what if you are Eastern Sovereign Supreme?

Are you not dead!

I am nameless, but I can survive!

In the Prehistoric myths, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was always Cultivating in a low-profile manner, surviving the Dragon Han Tribulation, and once he appeared, he was the strongest in the Prehistoric era.

That is Han Jue's goal.

He doesn't want fame, just because he wants to live more.

When he is the strongest, he will want fame too!

Han Jue didn't think too much, returning to his Innate Cave Mansion.

At this time, the Martial Virtue Divine Lord slowly appeared.

"The story is quite wonderful, but why is it about the Demon Court, and nothing about my Heavenly Court? This child's awareness is not high!" The Martial Virtue Divine Lord muttered to himself.

Is there anyone?

It's so late, surely no one is Cultivating!

Sure enough, the path of Cultivating is rugged and difficult, and it is normal for many people to fall on the way.
