Chapter 44: Immortal Domain Assembly, Ten Soul Transformation Experts

"It truly is unfortunate, sigh."

Han Jue sighed. Facing Fairy Xixuan bringing up this matter, what else could he say besides that sentence?

Fairy Xixuan stared at Han Jue and asked, "Senior Brother Guan said he happened to encounter Huang Jihao coming out of the Yuqing Sect. A patch of forest near the Yuqing Sect was destroyed, suspected to be caused by some kind of Sword Qi. Did Huang Jihao intend to challenge our Yuqing Sect, and was he repelled by you?"

Han Jue nodded and said, "That is correct."

Fairy Xixuan sighed with emotion, "I never expected that the famous Huang Jihao would also be defeated by a junior like you."

Han Jue gestured for Fairy Xixuan to sit and talk.

Fairy Xixuan sat on a chair nearby and continued, "I came to find you this time because I hope you can help me suppress Senior Brother Guan."

Suppress Guan Yougang?

Han Jue was confused.

"The Sect Master may not be as powerful as Senior Brother Guan, but he has been devoted to the Yuqing Sect. For the sake of the Yuqing Sect, he has even delayed his own cultivation. To force him down from the position of Sect Master at this time would be chilling. Moreover, this Senior Brother Guan of mine is only doing this for revenge, not truly for the sake of the Sect. When his injuries heal, I will have him come to challenge you first. If he can defeat you, he can become the Sect Master. How about that?" Fairy Xixuan said softly, her tone and expression unchanged.

Han Jue hesitated, "That is possible, but this battle should best be conducted quietly. If it spreads within the Yuqing Sect, it will inevitably spread throughout the Cultivation World. I do not want to be too much in the spotlight, otherwise, it will bring endless trouble. Helping the Yuqing Sect deal with the Qingming Demonic Cult previously already made a name for me, and that is why Huang Jihao came here."

"That is only natural, it will also save some Face for Senior Brother Guan."

Han Jue nodded.

Fairy Xixuan suddenly looked at the Black Prison Chicken in the corner and asked in surprise, "Why are you raising a chicken? This chicken looks extraordinary."

The Black Prison Chicken raised its head and snorted, "I am a Phoenix. Master told me that I will become a Phoenix sooner or later."

Fairy Xixuan smiled slightly.

A chicken also wants to become a Phoenix?

"I got it from a farmer in the Yuqing Sect. Cultivating is quite boring, so having it for company is not bad," Han Jue explained with a smile.

He did not mention the origins of the Black Prison Chicken.

Even if he said it, who would believe him?

The gap between a chicken and a Phoenix is as vast as that between a snake and a Dragon.

Fairy Xixuan looked at Han Jue again and said, "The once-in-a-century Immortal Domain Assembly is about to begin. I have an Immortal Domain Token that I can gift to you. The Immortal Domain Assembly is a rare grand event. There, you can obtain all the Magic Treasure, Medicinal Pill, Heaven And Earth Treasure, and even Cultivation Technique and Secret Manual you want, as long as you have enough equivalent resources."

Immortal Domain Assembly?

It sounds very high-class and lively.

If this were in a novel, it would definitely be a grand event for the protagonist to show off.

If one is not careful, it is easy to add new enemies!

Cannot go!

Han Jue politely declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I just want to focus on Seclusion. With my Aptitude, I do not need to go out and take risks for the time being."

Fairy Xixuan nodded.

She stood up and left.

Han Jue stood up to see her off.

After Fairy Xixuan left, Han Jue returned to the bed to start Cultivating.

"Immortal Domain Assembly… tsk tsk, when I achieve Mahayana, I can go and take a look!"

Han Jue thought silently while circulating his energy.

…

Vermilion Bird Sword Sect.

As a major Sect of the Righteous Path in the Great Yan Dynasty Cultivation World, the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect has nearly ten thousand Disciples, most of whom specialize in the Sword Dao. Almost all of the strongest Sword Cultivator throughout the generations of Great Yan came from the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect.

Inside the Sect Master's Hall.

Huang Jihao sat on a meditation cushion, his Face extremely ugly.

Sitting on the main seat was the Sect Master of the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect, Tang Han.

Tang Han appeared to be in his thirties or forties and was quite handsome. Beneath his sword-like eyebrows were sharp eyes, and a sword floated on both his left and right sides. He exuded an extremely strong sharpness.

"You couldn't even take one of his sword strikes?" Tang Han asked, frowning.

Huang Jihao gritted his teeth and said, "Although I really do not want to admit it, it is indeed the case. His spiritual power is extremely domineering. It is the first time I have encountered this kind of spiritual power. It is not a common Spiritual Root attribute, nor is it a rare, uncommon Spiritual Root. I cannot explain it clearly either."

Thinking back to the scene when facing the Heavenly Punishment Ghost God Sword, he could not help but feel chilled.

"Also…"

"Also what?"

"This person is extremely good-looking. In our Vermilion Bird Sword Sect, no one can compare to him in terms of appearance."

"Is that important?"

"Alright, it is not very important…"

Huang Jihao sighed. For some reason, his tone was actually a bit regretful.

Tang Han frowned.

Never expected the Yuqing Sect to produce such a figure!

Huang Jihao represents the highest combat power of the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect when outside!

Although he felt he was stronger than Huang Jihao, it would not be by much.

Huang Jihao continued, "By the way, the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult is active and still targeting the Yuqing Sect. After my injuries heal this time, I plan to go and challenge the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult."

Tang Han nodded and said, "Although the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult began to decline a thousand years ago, its foundation should not be underestimated. Previously, the Grand Elder of the Yuqing Sect came to see me, hoping that the Righteous Path would join forces to fight against the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult. I did not agree. As long as that person does not die, the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult cannot perish."

"Who is that person?"

"The Cult Master of the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult. When he was young, he was just like you, high-spirited. It was due to a twist of fate that he fell into the Demonic Path and became the Cult Master of the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult. I heard from the Grandmaster that in their generation, the Cult Master of the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult was the most powerful. This time, it is a good Opportunity for you to test his strength, but do not be reckless. If you are not a match, retreat immediately."

"Rest assured, although I am arrogant, I am not stupid."

"Hmm."

…

Since Fairy Xixuan left, time flew by, and seven years passed quickly.

Han Jue's cultivation reached the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm and he had already begun to chase the eighth level!

In his spare time from Cultivating, Han Jue had been monitoring the situation of others through interpersonal relationships and mail.

After Yang Tiandong and Zhou Fan were captured by the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult, their cultivation actually increased.

In recent years, they had not encountered attacks from the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult, so it seemed they had compromised.

However, their identities had not changed to Disciples of the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult. Han Jue guessed that they were just pretending to compromise.

As for Li Qingzi, he was frequently attacked by the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult and was repeatedly seriously injured.

This Sect Master was truly working too hard.

For the sake of the Disciples, he ran around everywhere, constantly getting injured, and once healed, getting injured again.

Additionally, Guan Yougang had never come to find Han Jue.

Han Jue could understand.

Even Huang Jihao could not defeat him, so how would this guy dare to come and challenge him?

It is worth mentioning that the Black Prison Chicken's growth speed had become faster and faster, and its strength was already equivalent to a Cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Not to mention for a chicken, even for a Cultivator, people who could achieve such a speed were few and far between.

As its intelligence grew, the Black Prison Chicken became more and more curious about the outside world.

Han Jue had no choice but to brainwash it.

The outside is very dangerous!

Many people want to eat you!

You must be powerful enough to be invincible before you can go out, otherwise you will definitely die. Even I, your Master, do not dare to go out!

Over time, the Black Prison Chicken no longer dared to think about going out and only wanted to Cultivate properly.

On this day.

Li Qingzi visited again.

Han Jue noticed that his aura was weak and his complexion was very bad. It seemed that the injury he sustained this time was very serious.

Li Qingzi gritted his teeth and said, "Something terrible has happened. Maple Leaf Valley has been destroyed by the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult. The next target of the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult is likely our Yuqing Sect. Before the Valley Master of Maple Leaf Valley died, he sent a message to me, saying that there are ten Soul Transformation experts within the Straw Cloak Sacred Cult, enough to sweep across the Great Yan Cultivation World!"

Upon hearing this, Han Jue asked, "Then why don't you run away quickly?"

Li Qingzi was stunned.
