Chapter 364: Sage’s Attention, Han Jue’s Connections [Third Update, Seeking monthly votes]

Han Jue sent out his Divine Thought and quickly arrived before Empress Houtu.

Empress Houtu was gazing into the distance at the You Clan, lost in thought.

Previously, Han Jue had only communicated with Empress Houtu via Divine Thought; this was his first time seeing the real Empress Houtu.

She floated in the Void Realm, wearing a golden long dress, the hem of which shimmered with starlight, dazzling and eye-catching. She was barefoot, and on her head, she wore long feathers inlaid with mysterious birds. Her features were exquisite and beautiful, her brows filled with compassion. Behind her floated a light projection of a wheel with six color zones, rotating slowly.

"Empress, do you have any instructions for this Junior?" Han Jue asked.

Empress Houtu's gaze fell upon Han Jue, and she smiled, saying, "I wish to bestow an Opportunity upon you."

Han Jue's scalp tingled the moment he heard the word 'Opportunity'.

In the past, so many Opportunities with hidden traps had led him to believe that Opportunity equaled danger.

"Many thanks for your kindness, Empress, but I will pass on the Opportunity. I only wish to Cultivate…" Han Jue replied, biting the bullet.

Empress Houtu laughed, "What are you thinking? I have already brought the Opportunity to you."

She flipped her fair hand, and a jade sword appeared in her palm.

"This is a Karma Magic Treasure, the Boundless Sword. It can absorb heavenly dao merit. As the You Clan continues to grow, the heavenly dao merit you gain will increase. You can store the Karma you cannot digest in this treasure."

After Empress Houtu finished speaking, she tossed the Boundless Sword out.

The Boundless Sword was only thirty centimeters long. To call it a sword was more like calling it a dagger; it was made of green jade and felt cold to the touch.

Han Jue felt relieved and bowed in thanks, "Many thanks, Empress!"

Empress Houtu asked with a smile, "How is the You Clan?"

Han Jue moved the Boundless Sword into his Xiantian Cave Abode through the air and replied, "They have great potential, possessing the advantages of both the Witch Race and the Human Race, but it seems…"

Empress Houtu said, "They cannot reproduce, right?"

"Yes."

"That is their defect. Therefore, my vision was not for them to become the protagonists of the Heavenly Dao, like the Human Race, spreading across the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms. I hope more for them to shoulder the responsibilities of Immortals and Gods, serving all beings. Being unable to reproduce avoids many disputes over Legacy."

"But, besides Legacy, their own cultivation will also involve conflicts of interest. Furthermore, once they become stronger, they will inevitably find ways to have offspring."

"Not so. Their inability to reproduce is the work of the Heavenly Dao. They cannot use any means to birth descendants. I sacrificed the future of the Witch Race to trade for the birth of the You Clan."

Han Jue was silent.

He did not fully believe her.

After all, Vajra Rage and Tu Linger were still there. The two could completely find others to marry and have children, and sooner or later, there would be the Witch Race again.

"It is not just the You Clan; Vajra Rage and Tu Linger are the same. They will be cursed by the Heavenly Dao and will never be able to reproduce. The benefit is that they will not be affected by Karma, and from now on, they can walk the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms openly." Empress Houtu's tone was quite helpless.

Han Jue was secretly shocked; that was ruthless.

Empress Houtu said, "I recognize your potential. It is not just me; in fact, other Saints are also paying attention to you. You are a variable. I hope you can accept the You Clan so that I can wholeheartedly manage the Reincarnation."

Entrusting orphans?

Han Jue's brows furrowed tightly.

"One day, you will need to preach the Dao, just as Ancestor Xitian teaches the Dao of Karma. But as there are more and more practitioners of the Dao of Karma, he can become stronger. This is a win-win method. It is very difficult to attain the Dao alone. Of course, after you accept the You Clan, if you encounter trouble in the future, you can find me at any time."

Empress Houtu spoke with utmost sincerity.

Han Jue thought silently, "If I accept the You Clan, will I be controlled by Empress Houtu or the Heavenly Dao?"

[Needs to deduct one hundred million years of lifespan. Continue?]

Previously, there was a question that didn't deduct lifespan. Could it be that it didn't involve the future of Karma?

Han Jue was helpless and could only choose to continue.

Another one hundred million!

[No]

Two words worth one hundred million!

Han Jue breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Empress Houtu was not plotting against him.

He immediately replied, "In that case, then leave the You Clan to me!"

[Empress Houtu's favorability toward you has increased. Current favorability is 4.5 stars.]

Empress Houtu laughed, "Very good. In the future, you will understand that I am definitely not harming you."

As the words fell, her presence disappeared.

Han Jue looked toward the You Clan and directly used his Divine Thought to move the You Clan into Hidden Gate Island.

Hidden Gate Island was very large now; let alone accommodating ten thousand people, even ten million would not be a problem.

After the You Clan landed, they were all panicked. It was their first time encountering such a situation.

At this moment, Han Jue's voice rang out:

"Empress Houtu has entrusted you to me, and I gave you the name You Clan. From now on, you will stay on the island and Cultivate with peace of mind. There are Hidden Gate Disciples on the island. You should all Cultivate diligently and not cause conflicts."

His voice was heard not only by the You Clan but also by the Hidden Gate members.

The people under the fusang tree immediately flew over, very curious about the You Clan.

"Empress Houtu…" Chu Shiren muttered to himself.

Beside him, the Black Prison Demon Lord sighed, "The Sect Leader is always in Seclusion, yet he can always expand his connections. It is truly remarkable. Even a Saint gifted him a clan. It seems that even if our Sect Leader is not a Saint, he is not far from being one."

The Black Prison Chicken said proudly, "I guess, Master is the Reincarnation of the Dao Ancestor, even more powerful than the Heavenly Dao!"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener did. Chu Shiren's brows furrowed.

For a while, Hidden Gate Island became lively.

Han Jue sank into deep thought.

Empress Houtu's words frightened him. Were there other Saints eyeing him?

Besides Ancestor Xitian's mahjong group and the Wa Huang Palace that had designs on him, who else?

"What kind of existence is a Saint? Could it be that these Myriad Heavens are all in their eyes?"

The more Han Jue thought, the more his hair stood on end.

Fortunately, Saints could not enter the world, otherwise, where would he have any sense of security?

No!

He had to hurry up and become stronger, and raise the Formation of his Dao Field to the Saint level. At that time, even a Saint would not be able to break in.

Han Jue's eyes became firm, and then he continued to Cultivate.

…

Twenty-five years later.

Jiang Yi finally arrived at the Nine Nether Purgatory. He did not shout or scream, but instead unleashed his Aura, waiting for Han Jue to come and receive him.

Nowadays, who didn't know that all the vengeful spirits of the Nine Nether Purgatory had run to the Immortal Realm?

"The Karma is truly dense. How did he survive?"

Jiang Yi was secretly shocked and suddenly began to admire Han Jue.

A powerful Divine Thought wrapped around him; before he could react, he was moved directly into Hidden Gate Island, landing under the fusang tree.

Just after landing, Jiang Yi was scared and took out his Magic Treasure, preparing to fight.

As a result, he saw people around him looking at him with strange expressions, and there were even two Golden Crows in the tree!

"This is the number one Prodigy of the Golden Crow Divine Clan, Jiang Yi. From now on, he will also join the Hidden Gate to Cultivate together."

Han Jue's voice came from the Xiantian Cave Abode.

He was not afraid of Jiang Yi acting tough. The Black Prison Demon Lord and Vajra Rage were enough to suppress Jiang Yi, not to mention the existence of Lü Bu.

The Black Prison Demon Lord clicked his tongue in wonder, "How did the Prodigy of the Golden Crow Divine Clan come here? Didn't the Demon Emperor try to recruit you before, and you refused, saying you only work for the Golden Crow Divine Clan?"

Jiang Yi scanned the circle and snorted, "I have an extraordinary relationship with my brother. He begged me to come, so how could I not come? By the way, let you all see what talent is. In the future, all of you should Cultivate well and take me as your goal!"
