Chapter 374 The Road to Charm, The Next Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 374: The Dao of Charm, the Next Heavenly Emperor

“Recently, some forces have been eyeing the Nine Nether Purgatory, so I came to warn you.” Empress Houtu replied.

Han Jue was puzzled. Could it be that someone had the same idea as him and wanted to avoid the tribulation?

He asked, “Does Your Ladyship know their origins?”

Empress Houtu said, “It’s precisely because I don’t know that I’m warning you. The heavenly secrets have been chaotic recently, possibly due to a Saint’s intervention, and the Great Tribulation will become even more complicated.”

Han Jue asked in surprise, “Aren’t you also a Saint? Don’t you know which Saint made a move?”

“How am I a Saint? I merely rely on the cycle of reincarnation being immortal and indestructible. In terms of Dao Fruit, I cannot compare to a Saint.”

Han Jue secretly thought this was not good.

He had overestimated his patron’s capabilities!

“However, it’s not that easy for a Saint to target me!” Empress Houtu’s tone shifted, full of confidence.

Han Jue then asked, “Is there any place or treasure in this world that can evade a Saint’s prying eyes?”

“Of course there are. Some forbidden lands, similar to the Nine Nether Purgatory and the Dark Forbidden Zone, cannot be directly spied upon by Saints. Saints can only spy on the Heavenly Dao. Also, Heavenly Dao supreme treasures can resist a Saint’s prying. In short, although Saints are omnipotent, they cannot act recklessly.”

Empress Houtu’s answer made Han Jue breathe a sigh of relief.

That’s good.

If only his Dao Field prevented Saints from prying, then the Saints would surely know he was the Dark Forbidden Lord.

How could he continue then?

Empress Houtu asked playfully, “Do you also have a Heavenly Dao supreme treasure? I can’t even calculate where the You Clan is.”

Han Jue gave a dry laugh, which was an implicit acknowledgment.

Only by doing so could he muddle through.

He had more than just a Heavenly Dao supreme treasure!

It seemed the Thirty-Sixth-Grade Reincarnation World-Destroying Black Lotus still had more powerful functions yet to be developed.

Han Jue said, “Your Ladyship, rest assured, I will protect the You Clan.”

Empress Houtu said, “Actually, as long as you hide well, you shouldn’t be discovered.”

“I will hide well.”

“Hmm.”

Empress Houtu transformed into a wisp of smoke and dispersed, countless starlight scattering.

Han Jue withdrew his divine sense.

He manipulated Hidden Sect Island to move, changing its location to avoid exposure.

An hour later.

Han Jue asked in his mind, “I want to know if anyone knows I am the Dark Forbidden Lord? Including Saints.”

[Requires a deduction of 1 billion years of lifespan. Continue?]

Huh?

Even the evolution of his own karma required a lifespan deduction?

Could it involve Saints?

Han Jue silently chose to continue.

If he didn’t clarify, he would find it hard to cultivate in peace.

[No]

Upon seeing these two words, Han Jue immediately let out a long breath.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Han Jue had always cursed within his Dao Field. As his cursed enemies grew stronger, his Dao Field also improved. By the time he started threatening the Saints’ pawns, he had already hidden in the Nine Nether Purgatory, where Saints couldn’t calculate him.

Before that, Saints had no reason to bother with these matters.

Perhaps Saints knew he was unusual, but they hadn’t linked him to the Dark Forbidden Lord.

Han Jue felt relieved, his mood becoming pleasant again.

He had to be even more careful in the future.

Han Jue began to improve his Sword Dao divine abilities. He spent half a year raising all of them to the limit of the Divine Realm, but they couldn’t reach the Grand Unity Realm.

To reach the Grand Unity Realm, he had to defeat Li Daokong at the end of the Sword Dao River.

This guy was just unreasonable!

In the simulated trial, Han Jue could already fight Six-Paths Divine Origin, but when facing Li Daokong, even though Li Daokong found it difficult to break through the defenses of the Thirty-Sixth-Grade Reincarnation World-Destroying Black Lotus, Han Jue also found it difficult to defeat Li Daokong.

The two disciples of the Human Sect had extremely disparate strengths.

Han Jue even suspected that the Human Sect Master feared Li Daokong would become too arrogant, which was why he arranged for his junior brother, Li Xuan’ao, to keep him in check.

With Li Xuan’ao around, Li Daokong probably wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

However, Li Daokong had the ability to sever karma.

After improving his Sword Dao divine abilities, Han Jue began to consider other aspects.

Besides the Immortal Emperor descendant, he also had three innate aptitudes.

[Peerless: Immortal appearance, top-tier charm]

[Fated Sword Maniac: Top-tier Sword Dao aptitude, top-tier Sword Dao comprehension]

[Peerless Movement: Top-tier movement technique aptitude]

Han Jue felt he could develop “Peerless” and “Peerless Movement.”

“Peerless Movement,” as the name suggested, improved movement divine abilities, which was easy to comprehend.

“Peerless” could also be developed!

The inspiration came from Empress Houtu.

Han Jue found that he easily developed a good impression of Empress Houtu, which indicated her charm was extremely high. Regardless of how she cultivated it, this was a fact.

Thinking carefully, she was the only one of the Witch Clan who survived. Besides the karma of reincarnation, there must have been other reasons.

If Han Jue could maximize his charm, so that anyone who saw him would feel favorably towards him, wouldn’t he be invincible?

Han Jue realized he had discovered a wonderful idea.

The Dao of Charm!

…Five years later.

Han Jue raised the Great Evolution Divine Shadow to the limit he could reach.

[Great Evolution Divine Shadow: In battle, it can transform speed and reaction, can split into divine shadows to confuse opponents, and can even directly traverse all realms of heaven and earth, extremely powerful.]

He could already split into a thousand divine shadows, their aura completely identical to his true self, easily confusing opponents in battle!

Han Jue conducted another simulated trial.

Relying on the Thirty-Sixth-Grade Reincarnation World-Destroying Black Lotus, he was already unrivaled in the Divine Realm.

Without relying on the Heavenly Dao supreme treasure, no one below Six-Paths Divine Origin was his match. Even against Six-Paths Divine Origin, Han Jue could forcibly maintain a stalemate for a period.

Han Jue’s goal was to avoid using the Thirty-Sixth-Grade Reincarnation World-Destroying Black Lotus as much as possible, to prevent attracting the prying eyes of Grand Unity Immortals and Saints.

Of course, if he could instantly kill an enemy, he could still use it.

As long as his movements were fast enough, he wouldn’t be spied upon.

After becoming stronger, Han Jue took out the Book of Misfortune and began cursing his enemies, while also checking his emails.

[Your friend Huang Zuntian was attacked by Chan Sect disciples] x480

[Your friend Ji Xianshen was attacked by monsters] x422103

[Your grand-disciple Fang Liang cast a divine ability, his soul traversing the Primordial Era]

[Your disciple Long Hao founded a sect of destiny, his destiny surged]

[Your friend Great Divine General obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, his cultivation soared, entering the Divine Realm]

[Your friend Taisu Tian experienced the mortal world, becoming a person of tribulation]

[Your Dao companion Xing Hongxuan obtained the Human Emperor’s destiny, her cultivation greatly increased]

[Your friend Reincarnation Immortal Emperor was attacked by the Golden Crow Divine Race] x204

…Han Jue clicked his tongue in wonder.

Each one seemed incredibly impressive.

This kid Fang Liang had traversed the Primordial Era for the second time. What exactly was he doing?

If his favorability towards Han Jue hadn’t decreased, Han Jue would have considered him a hypothetical enemy.

Long Hao actually founded a sect. As expected, he was going against the Heavenly Court.

Hao Tian was impressive enough to actually succeed in brainwashing him.

The Heavenly Emperor really intended to support the Great Divine General as the next Heavenly Emperor. This treatment, directly elevating him to the Divine Realm, made Han Jue incredibly envious.

And Taisu Tian.

No wonder she descended to the mortal world. It was to cleanse karma, to facilitate entering the tribulation. Nuwa’s calculations were deep enough!

Han Jue’s gaze softened when he saw Xing Hongxuan’s update.

He wondered how that girl was doing recently.

Wait!

Given this situation, could this woman also become a person of tribulation?

Han Jue’s expression suddenly changed.
