Chapter 419: The Human Race Stands Defiant, the Hidden Sect Rises

After the Dragon Court joined the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court could be considered the number one power in the Immortal Realm.

Gathered with the support of major powers like the Darkness Cult, the Asura Clan, the Asura race, the Dragon Court, the Human Sect, and the Chan Sect, it could even be said that the Heavenly Court had reached an unprecedented and powerful golden age, even stronger than the Demon Court that had previously swept across the Immortal Realm.

How long had it been?

Han Jue was shocked by the power of a Saint.

However, Han Jue had a hunch that the stronger the Heavenly Court became, the more likely it was to be defeated.

The struggle of a tribulation could not simply be a crushing defeat; it would either be a match of equals resulting in mutual destruction, or a complete reversal.

What the Heavenly Dao wanted was for only a few living beings to survive.

"I will just be a spectator and watch this tower rise and fall."

Han Jue thought silently. The Heavenly Emperor was no longer around, and now the Heavenly Court was rising again; the favor he owed could be considered fully repaid.

If not for him secretly assisting all along, the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor would have long since ceased to exist.

Now there was still one goal left.

That was to kill Jade Emperor Zhou Yan and save the Heavenly Emperor.

Han Jue took out the book of misfortune to curse Jade Emperor Zhou Yan.

A few days later, he continued to Cultivate.

The Grand Unity Realm was extremely difficult to Cultivate. Han Jue's grand unity dao fruit was like a bottomless pit; as the Karma from within the thirty-sixth grade samsara world-ending black lotus continuously poured into the grand unity dao fruit, it could never be filled.

Han Jue could not estimate when he would Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.

The path of the Dao was long and arduous!

…

Time slowly passed.

While the Hidden Sect was in seclusion and Cultivating, the war between humans and gods in the Immortal Realm finally broke out.

The Human Race had an extremely strong reproductive capacity, capable of producing billions of people in just a few decades, and this was even while the Human Race was in a state of constant warfare.

The human population in the Immortal Realm was immense, let alone the Human Race across the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms. This was the protagonist of the Heavenly Dao.

Facing the incomparably powerful Heavenly Court, the Human Race initially suffered heavy blows and consecutive defeats, but the characteristics of the Human Race were thus manifested.

Indomitable and never-yielding!

The more defeats the Human Race suffered, the more united they became, locked together as one.

Cultivators from other Mortal Realms rushed to the Immortal Realm to provide support, and a world-shaking battle was brewing.

About thirty years passed.

Han Jue walked out of the Immortal Cave, preparing to lecture on the Dao for all the Disciples of the Hidden Sect.

Lü Huaxu suddenly came before Han Jue, bowed, and asked, "Grandmaster, the investiture of the gods list is summoning me. What do you think I should do?"

Han Jue said, "Do not go, you will die."

Lü Huaxu's eyelids twitched wildly.

Although he had already awakened the memories of Great Emperor Zi Wei, his awe for Han Jue ran even deeper because, like everyone else, he felt that Han Jue might be the Reincarnation of the Dao Ancestor.

Look at these Disciples of the Hidden Sect; they could already form a major power on their own.

The previous Heavenly Court only had five Grand Unity experts, and the Four Great Emperors were frequently absent from the Heavenly Court, yet the Hidden Sect already had three. Both Lü Bu and Ma Chao were manifestations of Zu Tu.

One must know that Zu Tu alone could fight the Four Great Emperors.

"Everyone, sit down and prepare to listen to the Dao!"

Han Jue bypassed Lü Huaxu and sat down in front of the fusang tree.

Once everyone was ready, he began to lecture on the Dao.

Han Jue did not wish to stay in the Dark Forbidden Zone forever either; once the tribulation ended, he would still head to the Immortal Realm.

However, before that, he had to make the Hidden Sect powerful so that he could Cultivate with peace of mind and let his Disciples protect the Hidden Sect.

Aside from the Hidden Sect, the Reroll World had also been growing stronger all along.

One day, the Reroll World would surpass the Mortal Realm and evolve into a Great World, and Han Jue was also looking forward to the arrival of that day.

The cultivation of the White-Robed Buddha was growing quite fast, having already reached the Third Revolution Immortal Emperor, thanks to the Luck amplification of the Reroll World.

Seven years later.

Han Jue's lecture on the Dao concluded.

This time, he did not return directly to the Immortal Cave, instead waiting for all the Disciples to wake up.

One year later.

All the Disciples woke up, and seeing that Han Jue was still there, they continued to wait for him to speak.

Han Jue spoke, "The true great battle of this tribulation is about to begin—the struggle between the Human Race and the Heavenly Court."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Murong Qi asked in surprise, "What about the Divine Palace? What about Buddhism? What about the Demon Court?"

Tu Ling'er chimed in, "And what about the Golden Crow Divine Clan?"

Mentioning the Golden Crow Divine Clan made Jiang Yi's expression unnatural.

Could the Golden Crow Divine Clan have already perished?

Chu Shiren pinched his fingers to calculate, and his complexion changed drastically.

Xun Changan noticed his expression and spoke up, "What did you calculate?"

Xun Changan still couldn't change his attitude and would always care about Chu Shiren.

After all, he was once born into Buddhism, and Chu Shiren was once the Buddha.

"All the major powers of the heavens have joined the Heavenly Court to crusade against the Human Race. Someone wants to overthrow the Human Race's status as the protagonist of the Heavenly Dao. What a bold move!"

Chu Shiren's expression was ugly. He was the World-Honored Bodhisattva, and his past philosophy was peace for all living beings. His Buddha Dao was centered around the Human Race, so naturally he did not wish for the Human Race to be slaughtered to extinction.

Hearing this, all the Disciples were greatly shocked. How could the Heavenly Court be so strong?

Han Jue spoke, "Do you see? This is the tribulation, and this is destiny. Once high-spirited and invincible behemoths can all become stepping stones. The Hidden Sect does not contend for Luck, nor does it contend for power; what we contend for is the Dao. All of you, Cultivate well and stop thinking about going out. After the tribulation ends, we will return to the Immortal Realm."

The Chaos Heavenly Dog cried out, "We still have to go back? Why not just stay here forever!"

The Black Hell Chicken slapped it with a wing and scolded, "Do you even dare to defy the Master's will?"

The eyes of the others lit up instead.

Not everyone wanted to avoid the world forever.

Sometimes, the purpose of cultivation was merely to be a cut above others.

"Before this tribulation ends, I hope all of you reach the Emperor Realm. Can you do it?" Han Jue asked.

All-member Immortal Emperors!

Hearing this goal made everyone's hearts surge with passion.

Even among major powers in the Immortal Realm, the number of Immortal Emperors would not be many.

"We definitely can!"

Lü Huaxu said spiritedly, and the others responded one after another.

The Black Prison Demon Lord, Vajra Rage, and Jiang Yi looked at each other in dismay, all secretly startled.

They felt Han Jue's ambition.

Could Han Jue be plotting for the next tribulation?

It was very possible!

Wasn't this the path of the Divine Palace from before?

The Divine Palace had risen after the tribulation ended. Taking advantage of the chaos between heaven and earth and the fact that order had not yet been rebuilt, it emerged in one fell swoop, widely recruiting Prodigies and rising step by step.

Han Jue smiled with satisfaction, then turned and returned to the Innate Cave Mansion.

The Eerie Divine Spirit rushed over following him.

Han Jue waved his hand, signaling it to scram further away.

The Eerie Divine Spirit seemed very anxious, constantly nudging Han Jue.

Han Jue frowned and immediately checked for powerful enemies around the Dao field.

There were no powerful enemies.

Then what was going on?

At this moment, the Eerie Divine Spirit suddenly burrowed into Han Jue's body, and a massive wave of memories poured into Han Jue's mind.

It was a desolate memory, incomparably ancient.

That was a misty Void Realm where fierce winds raged, all coming from a single direction. In Han Jue's field of vision, the clouds parted, and he saw a figure of peerless majesty, even larger than the Primordial Phoenix he had seen earlier.

Even Han Jue, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, could not help but be shocked upon witnessing this figure.

Height without end!

For some reason, Han Jue inexplicably thought of Pangu, who split the heavens in Chinese mythology!

Pangu Great God?

Why did the Eerie Divine Spirit want him to see this memory?

At this moment, Han Jue suddenly felt a terrifying gaze fall upon him. Although he could not see that gaze, he could feel the pressure—a pressure that made his Soul tremble.
