Chapter 291: Heavenly Emperor versus Li Daokong, Occupying the Physical Body of an Immortal Emperor

"I have a good relationship with the Heavenly Emperor, and he won't stop me," Li Daokong said with a smile, full of confidence.

Looking across the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, who could refuse to become his Disciple?

Han Jue fell silent.

He felt anxious.

Why hasn't the Heavenly Emperor appeared yet?

Didn't he break free?

Li Daokong smiled. "I fought for great Luck in the previous Immeasurable Calamity and already have experience dealing with it. As for sword dao, no one in the Immortal Realm can compare to me."

How arrogant!

Han Jue couldn't take it anymore.

This person was way too confident.

Han Jue felt as if he were looking at a top-tier version of Immortal God Ji.

At this moment, a voice rang out. "Li Daokong, how dare you try to poach my people?"

The Heavenly Emperor!

Han Jue was pleasantly surprised, feeling a sense of relief.

A figure suddenly appeared before him, turning out to be none other than the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor blocked in front of Han Jue, looking at Li Daokong with a smile.

Li Daokong raised an eyebrow, instantly realizing that Han Jue's relationship with the Heavenly Emperor was out of the ordinary.

Seeming to think of something, he asked with a smile, "Could he be the future of the Heavenly Court that Your Majesty mentioned?"

The Heavenly Emperor nodded noncommittally.

Han Jue's expression was peculiar. Did these two really know each other?

Their relationship looked quite deep, and they had even talked about him.

Han Jue also caught the subtext; the Heavenly Emperor truly valued him.

Come to think of it, every time he looked for the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor was there. The only time he wasn't was when he was suppressed.

Whenever he was in trouble, he could turn to the Heavenly Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor never refused. On the contrary, he couldn't even help relieve the Heavenly Emperor's worries.

Han Jue could only sigh in his heart.

Emotions were forever the greatest hurdle on the path to Attain the Dao.

"If I Attain the Dao one day, I will definitely repay the Heavenly Emperor."

Han Jue thought silently to himself.

The Heavenly Emperor said, "This child is my person."

These words served as a rejection on Han Jue's behalf.

Li Daokong smiled. "It's fine. Him becoming my Disciple does not conflict with him being a member of the Heavenly Court. Aren't there many Disciples of the Daoist sects within the Heavenly Court? Doesn't Your Majesty also want to recruit me into the Heavenly Court?"

The Heavenly Emperor fell silent.

He turned his head to look at Han Jue, making Han Jue's heart skip a beat.

Was the Heavenly Emperor tempted?

The Heavenly Emperor turned back and smiled. "When he genuinely wants to take you as his master, I will personally send him to your doorstep. This child has a cautious personality and is timid; joining the Heavenly Court has already left him terrified. If he were to take on the identity of a successor of the Human Sect, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to Cultivate in peace."

Li Daokong looked at Han Jue, shook his head, and said no more.

"If you figure things out in the future, you can find me."

Leaving these words behind, Li Daokong departed.

Han Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

The Heavenly Emperor still carried massive prestige!

The Heavenly Emperor turned around to look at Han Jue and said with a teasing smile, "Tsk tsk, you actually rejected Li Daokong. This person is bound to attain Daluo in this calamity. It's not entirely impossible for him to surpass me in the future."

Han Jue asked in surprise, "Isn't the Immeasurable Calamity extremely dangerous? Can anyone really survive the Immeasurable Calamity with a hundred percent certainty?"

"Naturally, nothing is absolute, but with Li Daokong's Aptitude, a ninety percent certainty is definitely stable."

Only ninety percent certainty?

Han Jue was secretly startled. Indeed, he couldn't get involved in the calamity.

Ninety percent certainty, in other words, meant a high probability of dying.

Li Daokong was so arrogant; following him would definitely lead to getting beaten up!

Han Jue asked, "Who is stronger, Li Daokong or Li Xuan'ao?"

"Naturally, it's Li Daokong. Li Daokong already possesses strength comparable to a Daluo, while Li Xuan'ao is merely invincible in the God Realm." The Heavenly Emperor obviously held Li Daokong in extremely high regard.

Han Jue thought that this was troublesome.

The hope of finding Li Xuan'ao to avenge the Chaos Heavenly Dog was now extremely slim.

Even if he cursed Li Xuan'ao, it probably wouldn't be possible to curse him to death.

The Heavenly Emperor asked, "You are staying in the Underworld now? Be careful. Recently, it has been widely rumored in the Immortal Realm that the Calamity Responder is in the Underworld. They might slaughter their way out of the Underworld and step into the heavens in a single bound."

Hearing this, Han Jue couldn't help but be greatly shocked.

In the Underworld?

This wasn't good.

Han Jue said, "Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty. I will be careful."

He then asked, "How is Hao'er doing?"

Long Hao had left for decades without a sound, and there had been no updates from him in the mail either.

The Heavenly Emperor smiled. "His Aptitude is very good. Thank you for cultivating him. Don't worry, he is my youngest son after all; how could I possibly harm him?"

Han Jue nodded.

The two did not exchange pleasantries for long and quickly departed.

Han Jue first returned to the River of Sword Dao and found Liu Bei.

"You are too weak. Come back with me," Han Jue said solemnly.

He waved his sleeve, sucking Liu Bei into it, and then jumped out of the River of Sword Dao, heading toward the Underworld.

In the Immortal Realm, on an immortal island overseas.

Huang Zuntian knelt on one knee on the beach, seemingly welcoming someone.

A streak of multicolored light flew from the horizon, transforming into a White Crane with a wingspan of ten zhang, its wings rippling with colorful clouds as they flapped.

The White Crane stopped in front of Huang Zuntian and asked, "What matter do you have to report?"

Huang Zuntian said in a deep voice, "This Disciple discovered that the island master is colluding with the Chan Sect."

The White Crane narrowed its eyes and said, "What evidence do you have?"

Huang Zuntian replied, "This Disciple found tokens of communication inside the island master's Immortal Cave."

"As a Disciple trespassing into the island master's Immortal Cave, what crime should you commit?"

The White Crane's tone suddenly turned unfriendly, and a terrifying Aura erupted from it.

Huang Zuntian was not flustered at all. "The Jie Sect once stumbled during the calamity. Now that the calamity has just begun, the island master has taken the Disciples out to preach the Dao. It looks like he is working hard for the Jie Sect, but in reality, he harbors malicious intentions. When this Disciple joined the Jie Sect, what I sought was the current peace and quiet of the Jie Sect. The island master frequently propagates high-spirited rhetoric, wanting to lead us into the world to fight and contend, which is why I suspect him."

Huang Zuntian had investigated; the Jie Sect had never actually issued an order to enter the world. It was just that certain immortal islands wanted to make contributions and establish their careers.

The Leader of the Jie Sect had been in seclusion for countless years, and his control over the various immortal islands was not that strict.

This was also the reason why Huang Zuntian dared to take the risk.

As for evidence, how could the island master possibly leave any behind? What Huang Zuntian needed to do was plant a psychological seed for the mighty figures of the Jie Sect.

The White Crane narrowed its eyes and asked, "Do you think the Jie Sect shouldn't contend for Luck?"

Huang Zuntian said, "It's not that it shouldn't, but the time has not yet come. The Disciples of the Jie Sect should take orders from the sect leader rather than listening to the island masters of various islands and letting them act arbitrarily."

The White Crane did not ask any more questions and fell into silence.

Huang Zuntian continued kneeling, waiting for it to speak.

The White Crane suddenly opened its mouth and shot out a water arrow, piercing through Huang Zuntian's skull. Huang Zuntian then fell backward.

Inside the Innate Cave Mansion.

Enlightenment Sword looked in surprise at the Victorious Fighting Buddha meditating in the corner.

To be precise, it was Liu Bei.

Han Jue had transferred the soul of his Reincarnation Clone, Liu Bei, into the body of the Victorious Fighting Buddha. Because the Physical Body of the Victorious Fighting Buddha was far too powerful, Liu Bei was unable to control this Immortal Emperor Physical Body in a short period of time.

At present, Liu Bei was still enduring the agony.

As for Han Jue, he was cultivating. Whenever Liu Bei was about to reach his limit, Han Jue would make a move to nourish Liu Bei with his own magical power.

"Are you holding up?" Enlightenment Sword couldn't help asking.

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said, "Barely. The Physical Body of an Immortal Emperor is indeed powerful; it has constantly been backlashing against me."

Having stayed within the River of Sword Dao, he had suffered quite a bit of coercion, so he had always yearned for power. Although this time it was painful, his heart was filled with even more anticipation.

A prompt suddenly popped up in front of Han Jue:

[Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor harbors hatred toward you. Current hatred degree: 4 stars]
