Chapter 292: Ascension, The Aptitude of an Immortal Emperor [Third Update, Seeking monthly votes]

Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor?

Han Jue frowned. What kind of nonsense was this?

Why did he suddenly harbor hatred toward him?

Han Jue immediately brought up his interpersonal relations to check, and quickly found Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor.

[Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor: cultivation unknown, Heavenly Dao Innate Beings, Boundless Great Emperor, transformed from the middle corpse of the Demon Ancestor, blessed with great Heavenly Dao Luck, developed hatred toward you because Liu Bei forcibly possessed the Physical Body of the Victorious Fighting Buddha, current hatred degree is 4 stars]

Han Jue's brows furrowed even tighter. He had actually been discovered by Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor.

What should he do now?

Should he add him to the curse list?

Han Jue thought about it and decided to wait ten years before cursing him, so as to avoid being associated with it by Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor.

There were Buddhist forces in the Underworld, so he had to be extremely cautious.

Han Jue closed his eyes and continued to Cultivate.

Fifty-seven full years later, Liu Bei finally successfully completed Possession of the Victorious Fighting Buddha's Physical Body, but he could not fully unleash the Victorious Fighting Buddha's complete strength. Han Jue had him return to the River of Sword Dao to guard it while adapting to the Physical Body's power of the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

Han Jue wasn't worried that Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor would slaughter his way to the River of Sword Dao. Now that the Immortal Realm was in chaos, how could Buddhism have the time to manage such matters?

Even if he really came, Liu Bei could escape.

Even if he couldn't escape, Han Jue would strive to avenge him in the future.

Ahem.

Putting it that way seemed a bit unconscionable.

After Liu Bei left, Han Jue took out the book of misfortune and began cursing Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor.

Cursing Magic Treasures were not rare in the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms. The most powerful characteristic of the book of misfortune was that nobody could deduce the true culprit.

As long as Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor was plagued by curses, he wouldn't have time to retrieve the Physical Body of the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

Han Jue couldn't help but sigh that the book of misfortune was truly a good treasure.

So many heavenly dao spirit stones were not spent in vain. If they had been spent on other Magic Treasures, how could he have today's carefree ease?

Han Jue even admired his own train of thought.

This was truly killing the enemy from a thousand miles away and preventing trouble before it happened!

While cursing, Han Jue checked his mail.

[Your friend Huang Zuntian received the true inheritance of the Jie Sect, and his Dao Cultivation soared]

[Your friend Huang Jihao was attacked by your friend Li Daokong, and was heavily injured]

[Your friend Li Daokong was attacked by your enemy Li Xuan'ao]

[Your Grand-disciple Fang Liang mistakenly entered the Dark Forbidden Zone]

[Your friend Di Hongye was expelled by Shichen]

[Your Dao Companion Xuan Qingjun was attacked by monsters] x14021

[Your friend Zhou Fan was attacked by monsters] x89743

…

Han Jue raised an eyebrow. Huang Zuntian received the true inheritance of the Jie Sect—did this mean he had ascended to a higher position?

Not bad!

Were this pair of Senior Brother and Junior Brother, Li Daokong and Li Xuan'ao, locked in a love-hate relationship?

What kind of trouble was that brat Fang Liang stirring up again?

His woman wasn't properly Cultivating and had also started entering the mortal world?

Han Jue thought silently.

He sensed a sense of crisis.

Heavenly Dao was beginning to make a move against him. His Disciples, Grand-disciples, Dao Companions, and friends entered the mortal world—would it try to lure him into the mortal world next?

Impossible!

Han Jue became secretly alert.

He still had to seize the time to grow stronger, lest he wouldn't even have the strength to protect the people around him in the future!

Han Jue's gaze turned firm.

…

Immortal Realm, an immortal island.

Dozens of Jie Sect Disciples stood atop the mountain peak, gazing into the distance at the end of the sea horizon.

A White Crane flew past, and standing on its back was a figure—strikingly, it was Huang Zuntian.

Seeing the White Crane fly over, all the Disciples knelt down one after another.

"Greetings, Exalted One!"

Dozens of Jie Sect Disciples shouted in unison, their loud voices echoing through the immortal island.

The White Crane landed at the edge of the cliff, and Huang Zuntian landed along with it.

"Starting from today, Huang Zuntian is the Lord of Golden Crab Island. All Disciples must obey his orders. Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the Jie Sect."

The White Crane slowly spoke, its tone unquestionable.

Swoosh—

The Disciples broke into an uproar. They all knew Huang Zuntian; Huang Zuntian had entered the sect later than them and was considered their Junior Brother. Now, he had actually surpassed them to become the Island Lord?

How could that be possible!

Wasn't this utter nonsense?

"Exalted One, he is only a Taiyi Celestial Immortal!" a Disciple couldn't help saying.

The White Crane let out a cold snort. "I will personally instruct him. This is the Vice Sect Master's intention. It is hoped that the Jie Sect immortal islands can implement the Sect Master's philosophy of avoiding the world. There is no room for discussion on this matter. In the future, whoever dares to disrespect Huang Zuntian shall die."

As soon as the word 'die' was uttered, the temperature between heaven and earth plummeted abruptly. The spines of all the Jie Sect Disciples went cold, and they dared not argue back.

Huang Zuntian's eyes flickered, and he let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

Now he could Cultivate with peace of mind.

He must Cultivate well and not let down that Senior's expectations.

Thinking of Han Jue, Huang Zuntian was filled with fighting spirit.

…

Four years later.

Xing Hongxuan visited Han Jue, and Enlightenment Sword was driven out of the Immortal Cave, looking all aggrieved.

"Have you really thought it through?" Han Jue asked, frowning.

Xing Hongxuan nodded, took a deep breath, tried to maintain her composure, and said, "If I undergo Reincarnation, will you abandon me?"

She decided to undergo Reincarnation and be born with good Aptitude!

She had struggled for a hundred years and finally made up her mind, simply because the Disciples of the Hidden Sect Cultivated far too quickly. Look at her instead; if she hadn't encountered quite a few Opportunities, I'm afraid…

Han Jue said, "I have already placed a mark on you. No matter how many lifetimes of Reincarnation you go through, I will be able to find you."

Xing Hongxuan pursued the question, "After Reincarnation, will I still be me?"

"I can let you undergo Reincarnation with your memories intact."

"That's good then."

Han Jue looked at Xing Hongxuan, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart.

Looking back at the beginning of their acquaintance, everything felt like a dream.

He had met Xing Hongxuan just as he stepped into cultivation. He never expected that over three thousand years later, the two of them would consummate their marriage and become Dao Companions.

Xing Hongxuan suddenly leaned in and smiled brightly. "Let me have some amusement before my Reincarnation."

"How do you want to amuse yourself?"

"Don't move, don't forcefully resist me, mm, lie down."

"Slow down…"

"Mm-hmm…"

…

Several months later, Han Jue brought Xing Hongxuan's soul to the front of the Bridge of Helplessness.

He directly extracted Xing Hongxuan's soul, allowing Xing Hongxuan to die without any pain.

In front of the Bridge of Helplessness, a long queue of ghosts was still winding along. All the ghosts were numb and dazed, without a shred of Life Qi.

Han Jue sent a voice transmission to Meng Po, and the two met in a distant place.

Han Jue stated his purpose.

Meng Po frowned and said, "This violates the life and death Reincarnation."

Han Jue raised an eyebrow.

Hm?

Now you're talking to me about rules?

"Didn't Tu Ling'er also…" Han Jue said unpolitely.

Meng Po hurriedly interrupted him and said, "It's not really a problem!"

Han Jue nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't feed her Meng Po soup, and give her a good Reincarnation womb. Both she and Tu Ling'er are people of my Hidden Sect. The better her Aptitude, the stronger the protection Tu Ling'er will receive in the future."

Meng Po was speechless.

She could only agree helplessly.

"I will send her off to be reincarnated first. Wait for me a moment," Meng Po sighed and said.

Han Jue immediately released Xing Hongxuan's soul and let Meng Po lead her to the Bridge of Helplessness.

Xing Hongxuan turned her head, looking at Han Jue with deep reluctance.

Although she trusted Han Jue very much, she had no experience with matters like Reincarnation, and her heart was still very flustered.

Han Jue watched her recede into the distance.

"This is the benefit of cultivation. Life and death Reincarnation is no longer so despairing." Han Jue came to a realization in his heart, and his gaze grew even firmer.

About half an hour passed.

Meng Po returned.

She spoke first, "I had her reincarnated into a cultivation Sacred Dynasty in the Immortal Realm. Her Aptitude is top-notch, and she might not lack the Opportunity to attain the Dao of an Immortal Emperor."

Han Jue was surprised and asked, "With such formidable Aptitude, won't the Sacred Dynasty notice that she is someone reincarnated?"
