Chapter 28: Target Nascent Soul, Things Have Changed

Chapter 28: Target Nascent Soul, Things Have Changed

The grievances between Azure Nether Demonic Cult and Jade Purity Sect had persisted for decades, though from Han Jue's perspective, they were actually much more long-standing.

The Cultivation World did not only have these two Sects; there were other Sects, and their enemies were not solely each other.

Because of this, neither Azure Nether Demonic Cult nor Jade Purity Sect dared to mobilize all their forces, fearing that both would suffer and give other Sects the opportunity to reap the benefits.

Inside a gloomy grand hall, eight figures were meditating.

Zhang Kunmo was among them.

At the head was a man in a blood-red robe, with black and white interwoven hair, an indifferent expression, and holding a whisk in his hand.

He was Qingming Demon Cult Leader!

"You still haven't caught Li Qingzi after all this time?" Qingming Demon Cult Leader asked in a deep voice.

The seven Elders fell silent.

They had hunted down Li Qingzi for nearly twenty years, but every time, Li Qingzi managed to escape by a fluke.

Li Qingzi intentionally did not return to Jade Purity Sect, constantly tying up the majority of Azure Nether Demonic Cult's attention.

Zhang Kunmo spoke, "Forget about him, let's just directly attack Jade Purity Sect! My Disciple died in Jade Purity Sect. How much effort did the Demonic Cult pour into him? How can you all just let this rest?"

Whenever he thought of Han Jue, he gritted his teeth in hatred.

Back then, he had made fierce threats, but as so many years passed, he still hadn't gone to settle accounts with Han Jue.

He could even imagine Han Jue's sneering face mocking him for talking big.

"I think so too. We should directly attack Jade Purity Sect. Our overall strength has already surpassed Jade Purity Sect!"

"During the Demonic Path Assembly, the other Sects already stated their stance. Unless we annex the neighboring Jade Purity Sect, they will not submit to us."

"That's true. If the Demonic Path Master cannot even defeat a neighboring Righteous Path Sect, how can he convince the masses?"

"I am willing to personally lead Disciples to attack Jade Purity Sect!"

"Besides Li Qingzi, Jade Purity Sect also has an old monster."

The Elders began to discuss.

Qingming Demon Cult Leader's eyes flickered, and he did not interrupt.

After a long while, all the Elders stopped, turned to look at him, and waited for him to make a decision.

Qingming Demon Cult Leader said, "This seat is preparing to achieve Soul Transformation. If the Soul Transformation is successful, it won't be too late to attack Jade Purity Sect then. By that time, attacking Jade Purity Sect will be an absolute certainty."

Soul Transformation!

The Elders looked at him in shock.

Zhang Kunmo took a deep breath and asked, "Cult Leader, do you have confidence?"

Qingming Demon Cult Leader calmly said, "For this, this seat has prepared for decades and has ninety percent confidence. Waiting another thirty years is not too late!"

Thirty years!

For a Mortal, it might be half a lifetime.

But for them, it was not considered long.

…

Ever since Xing Hongxuan left, ten years had passed.

Han Jue cultivated his wind Spiritual Root to the Ninth Layer of Golden Core Realm, and his fire Spiritual Root reached the third layer.

Ever since his lightning Spiritual Root reached the Ninth Layer of Golden Core Realm, cultivating other Spiritual Roots yielded twice the result with half the effort.

Han Jue could already see Nascent Soul waving at him.

Becoming stronger every day, this feeling was incomparably wonderful, making him not find closed-door cultivation boring at all.

Reaching the Nascent Soul Realm sooner is the only way to truly transcend being a weakling!

Han Jue was now eighty-eight years old. An eighty-eight-year-old at the Ninth Layer of Golden Core Realm absolutely could not be found anywhere else in the Cultivation World.

Yet he still felt it was not enough.

Even if he reached the Nascent Soul Realm, it was still not enough.

He wanted to Cultivate all the way to the end of the path of cultivation and be absolutely invincible!

On this day.

Chang Yue'er came to visit.

Han Jue turned off the formation and welcomed her into the Immortal Cave.

"Junior Brother, I've come to see you, and by the way, I brought you some Heaven And Earth Treasures to plant by the pond. They can make the Spiritual Qi of your Immortal Cave even denser, and in the future, it might even become the Immortal Cave with the best Spiritual Qi in the Jade Purity Sect," Chang Yue'er said with a smile.

She walked to the pond side and began scattering seeds.

Han Jue smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

"Don't thank me either. It was all bestowed by Master. Your Senior Sister here is just helping out with some physical labor," Chang Yue'er laughed.

Han Jue couldn't help thinking of Fairy Xixuan.

He silently felt grateful in his heart.

Chang Yue'er continued speaking, "Ever since you went into closed-door cultivation, several new Disciples have joined Yuyou Peak. Junior Brother Tie, who was ranked behind you, reached his lifespan limit two years ago and died of old age."

Elder Tie died?

Han Jue was stunned.

He quickly opened his interpersonal relationships interface and found that Elder Tie's avatar could no longer be found.

The person was gone.

"Speaking of this Junior Brother Tie, his Aptitude was too poor. He was originally supposed to die in the outer Sect. Being able to come to the inner Sect for a trip means his life isn't considered regrettable. However, before he died, he still wanted to see you. This is what his alchemy boy said."

"Why did he want to see me?"

Han Jue asked, his expression complex.

In the past, he quite disliked Elder Tie.

But looking back now, Elder Tie had never harmed him, and could even be said to have raised him.

Elder Tie's passing made any disgust Han Jue held toward him vanish completely, leaving even a bit of melancholy.

This was the path of cultivation.

There were always people dying on the road.

He absolutely cannot die halfway!

Han Jue's determination in pursuing longevity became even firmer.

Chang Yue'er shook her head and said, "How would I know? Did you two know each other before?"

Han Jue was acquainted with Elder Tie, but this matter was only known to a few people and did not include Chang Yue'er.

"Whether we knew each other or not is no longer important. Senior Sister, Cultivate well. If even you were to die, Junior Brother would be sad."

Han Jue said earnestly, and these words were completely sincere.

Coming to this world, the people he knew were not many, and those with good relations could be counted on one hand.

Chang Yue'er turned to look at him, beamed a smile and said, "Hmph, stinky Junior Brother, I thought you didn't have me in your heart at all."

Han Jue smiled and shook his head.

The two began to chat casually.

Most of the time, Chang Yue'er was doing the talking, telling him about the things happening inside the Sect.

Zhou Fan had completely risen to prominence, becoming a prominent figure in the inner Sect. With his Foundation Establishment cultivation, he successfully challenged the senior Disciple of Sword Peak, seized a Dao Companion, and caused a sensation throughout the entire Sect. However, on the second day of their marriage, he divorced that woman, stirring up controversy in the inner Sect.

Nowadays, Zhou Fan and Mo Fuchou had become the face of Heavenly Thunder Peak, both being Personal Disciples, and Mo Fuchou even held the status of a Core Disciple.

Xing Hongxuan had always stayed in the Main Peak to Cultivate, so she didn't have much of a reputation.

"Alright, Senior Sister should go back to Cultivate, and strive to accompany Junior Brother for a bit longer on the path of cultivation." Chang Yue'er gave a playful smile, then got up and left.

Han Jue sighed.

Although Chang Yue'er was joking, these words falling into Han Jue's ears were heartbreaking truths.

Han Jue was someone who wanted longevity; Chang Yue'er's Aptitude was far inferior to his, and she certainly wouldn't live as long as him!

However, Han Jue was not a hypocritical person, and he quickly adjusted his mindset.

In the future, if he had the ability, he could also give a helping hand to those close to him.

For example, Fairy Xixuan, Chang Yue'er, and Xing Hongxuan.

Should Mo Zhu be counted as one?

Han Jue considered silently.

He suddenly raised his right hand, used his fingers as a sword, and wrote two words in the air towards the cave wall.

Elder Tie.

He stood up and bowed towards Elder Tie's name.

This bow was considered a belated farewell.

Hoping Elder Tie would be reborn into a good family in his next life.

Afterward, Han Jue continued to sit in meditation and Cultivate.

…

Another ten years passed.

Han Jue's fire Spiritual Root had also been cultivated to the Ninth Layer of Golden Core Realm, and his water Spiritual Root cultivation reached the Seventh Layer of Golden Core Realm, leaving only the earth Spiritual Root and wood Spiritual Root uncultivated.

This speed was already miraculous, but he was somewhat dissatisfied.

He began to rummage through the Lesser Universe Belt to check the Medicinal Pills left behind by Chen Santian.

Chen Santian was also a Golden Core Realm Cultivator; perhaps there were Medicinal Pills specifically for cultivating in the Golden Core Realm.

Unfortunately, there were none.

Most of this fellow's Medicinal Pills were poisons, aphrodisiacs, and all kinds of underhanded drugs.

"As expected of a damn member of the Demonic Cult!"

Han Jue couldn't help cursing out loud.
