Chapter 373: Zu Tu Falls, Nuwa Sends a Dream Message

A Saint made a move against the Heavenly Emperor?

Han Jue was surprised; wasn't this against the rules?

Wait…

The Dao Ancestor who restrained the Saints had already disappeared, so what if a Saint crossed the line?

Han Jue couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, do you not have a Saint supporting you?"

The Heavenly Emperor smiled bitterly and said, "The Heavenly Dao is behind the Heavenly Court. Other Saints will not interfere, for fear of being tainted by the Karma of the Heavenly Dao."

Nonsense!

I saw you conspiring with a Saint!

Han Jue complained in his heart but did not dare to refute on the surface.

He asked, "How is Hao'er? Has he still not returned to your side?"

"Hmph, do not mention that rebellious son; he has already become an enemy of the Heavenly Court."

"Why? What on earth happened?"

"Do not ask about these things. It is a disgrace for me to speak of them."

"Alright."

Since the Heavenly Emperor had put it that way, Han Jue didn't ask further.

The two ended their contact after a few words. Han Jue clearly realized that something big had happened in the Heavenly Court.

However, since the Heavenly Emperor was unwilling to speak clearly, he didn't ask more.

After putting down the heavenly dao token, Han Jue turned his gaze toward the Dao Pills.

He opened the medicine bottle, took out a Dao Pill, and began to consume it.

To be able to help someone in the God Realm Cultivate, it had to be said that the Human Sect was truly extraordinary. It was said that the Dao of Alchemy originated from the Human Sect.

No wonder the two Disciples of the Human Sect were so strong. With Medicinal Pill resources, their cultivation would naturally not be low.

Of course, the Human Sect's legacy was already powerful.

After the Dao Pill entered his body, it directly transformed into a surge of innate qi, flowing wildly through his body and converting into Deity Realm Dharmic power.

The medicinal effect was immense!

Han Jue was somewhat pleasantly surprised. He had originally thought this pill wouldn't be very effective, like a chicken rib, but he hadn't expected to have underestimated the Human Sect's foundation.

A few days later.

After consuming this Dao Pill, it was better than several decades of hard cultivation.

He continued to consume them.

Two months later.

Han Jue finished all the Dao Pills. His cultivation had reached a critical point, and he was about to Breakthrough to the Rank Three Deity Realm.

Han Jue opened his eyes, feeling extremely grateful to the Heavenly Emperor.

Such a Divine Pill could be called a priceless treasure, yet the Heavenly Emperor had given him ten Dao Pills at once.

Next, he could prepare for the Breakthrough… Heavenly Court, Hall of Miraculous Mist.

The Heavenly Emperor was alone with Li Daokong.

Li Daokong smiled and asked, "Have the twenty Dao Pills been distributed?"

The Heavenly Emperor smiled and said, "Yes. Thank the Sect Master of the Human Sect on my behalf."

Li Daokong shook his head and smiled. "Now that the Saints have entered the calamity, the Human Sect must provide full support. I heard from my Master that the Great Dao Calamity might arrive in a few calamities. There isn't much time left for the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Court can win this Great Calamity, it can bypass the Guixu Divine Realm and head to the Ancient Desolation to make early preparations."

The Heavenly Emperor's smile vanished as he asked, "What do you think of your Junior Brother's recent actions?"

His eyes narrowed, hiding a hint of killing intent.

Li Daokong acted as if he didn't see the killing intent and said, "He brought it upon himself. If he tries to block the Heavenly Court's path, I will personally suppress him. Your Majesty does not need to worry about him; he just wants to go against me, it's not a conspiracy."

The Heavenly Emperor was deep in thought.

Li Daokong continued, "Zu Tu is not dead. I have caught a trace of him and plan to hunt him down."

The Heavenly Emperor replied, "Do not do this for now. Zu Tu has escaped using a 'Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell' tactic, so he is no longer a threat. The Divine Palace has collapsed. What the Heavenly Court needs to do now is to annex the Divine Palace and the Demon Court, and then make further preparations."

Li Daokong nodded.

"Di Lantian of the Golden Crow Divine Clan has been restless lately, wanting to raise the banner of the Ancient Heavenly Court and absorb the Primordial Races. You shall represent the Heavenly Court as an envoy to the Golden Crow Divine Clan," the Heavenly Emperor said casually.

Li Daokong immediately accepted… Seven years later.

Han Jue successfully broke through to the Rank Three Deity Realm.

His Deity Realm Dharmic power surged, and his entire being was bathed in a sublimated sense of comfort.

While consolidating his cultivation, he checked his Attribute Panel:

[Name: Han Jue]

[lifespan: 5,132 / 23,999,999,999,999,999,999]

[Race: Primordial Chaos Demon God]

[cultivation: Rank Three Deity Realm]

[Cultivation Technique: Grandmist Reincarnation Great Dao, Zhou Tian Body Tempering Method]

[Great Dao: Great Dao of Life and Death, Karma Great Dao]

…lifespan doubled!

Not only had he recovered what was lost, but it had also increased significantly.

Looking at his lifespan, Han Jue felt a great sense of achievement.

This time, thanks to the Heavenly Emperor, he had saved a period of hard cultivation; otherwise, he would have had to wait at least another two hundred years.

Han Jue continued to consolidate his cultivation.

Three years later, his cultivation was completely stable. He took out the book of misfortune and prepared to curse Zu Tu.

Since that fellow only had a trace of a remnant soul left, he might as well just curse him to death to avoid future trouble.

There would surely be new enemies in the future, and Han Jue didn't want to be held back by a fallen foe.

No matter how many tricks or schemes you have, I'll just kill you directly!

Han Jue poured his Deity Realm Dharmic power into the book of misfortune and cursed with all his might.

Five days later.

His lifespan began to drop drastically.

This time, Han Jue was determined to curse Zu Tu to death.

One billion years of lifespan!

Two billion years of lifespan!

Five billion years of lifespan!

Eight billion years of lifespan!

[Nuwa wants to send you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

This line of text suddenly appeared before Han Jue's eyes, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

He immediately thought of one thing—it was related to Zu Tu.

Could Zu Tu have sought help from a Saint?

Since the Saint could not peer into the Dao Field, they could only use this method. The Heavenly Emperor had used it before.

Han Jue hesitated. Should he accept?

If he accepted, would he be exposed?

Originally, the Saint couldn't peer into the Dao Field, but if he entered the dream, would they find an opportunity?

Wait!

What was he afraid of?

He had Empress Houtu behind him!

If Zu Tu were to live, he would definitely continue to cause trouble for him in the future; there was no way to resolve it.

Han Jue gritted his teeth and continued to curse.

This fellow must die!

[Nuwa wants to send you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

[Nuwa wants to send you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

[Nuwa wants to send you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

Such prompts kept appearing before Han Jue's eyes, but he pretended not to see them.

Finally.

When Han Jue's lifespan had been deducted by ten billion years, his curse suddenly hit empty air.

He asked in his heart, "Is Zu Tu dead?"

[Zu Tu's soul and body have been completely annihilated, and his Dao has ended.]

Han Jue breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could feel at ease.

It was worth mentioning that Nuwa did not develop any hatred toward him.

It seemed that Nuwa hadn't discovered that the Dark Forbidden Master was Han Jue either.

She had only used some kind of Divine Ability to trace the curse.

If Han Jue had agreed just now, wouldn't he have exposed himself as the Dark Forbidden Master?

The more Han Jue thought about it, the luckier he felt.

He was almost intimidated by the Saint.

The book of misfortune might be calculated by the Saint, but with the addition of the Dao Field, it was very difficult for the Saint to calculate anything.

"In the future, I can only curse within the Dao Field. I must never take the book of misfortune out."

Han Jue thought silently, his eyes becoming firm.

Although his cultivation was constantly getting stronger, he still had to be as cautious as if walking on thin ice and must not be careless.

A few months later.

Han Jue suddenly felt Empress Houtu's aura. It was clearly emitted on purpose, waiting for Han Jue to go see her.

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

Empress Houtu was filled with a dazzling light, and her true appearance could not be seen.

"Empress, is something the matter?" Han Jue asked.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him that made his skin crawl.

Empress Houtu also couldn't see through the Dao Field, but she knew of Han Jue's existence. Could it be that in the entire Immortal Realm, only Han Jue's Dao Field couldn't be seen through by a Saint?

Reasoning through this point further…
