Chapter 456: Dao Field Upgrade, Empress Nuwa Ascends to the Great Dao [Third Update, Requesting monthly vote]

After learning that the tribulation was about to end, Han Jue's mindset became increasingly peaceful.

The only thing he looked forward to now was for the Dao field to successfully upgrade as soon as possible.

It had already been a year, and it still hadn't succeeded. However, as long as the Dao field's Formation could be upgraded to the Heavenly Dao Saint level, what did it matter if he waited another hundred years?

Not long after, Hidden Sect Island fell back into tranquility.

Eight years later.

[Dao field upgrade. Formation upgraded to Heavenly Dao Saint level, expanding the range of the internal space of the Dao field]

[Dao field Immortal Qi amplification increased tenfold, Innate Qi amplification increased fivefold]

[The Dao field can shield against prying eyes of Great Dao-level existences]

[The System has added a new guard. It can completely copy a Quasi-Saint powerhouse from the Simulation Trial as a guard, who will be completely obedient to you. This guard must not leave the Dao field for more than half an hour, otherwise, they will directly dissolve]

Heavenly Dao Saint level!

Han Jue was pleasantly surprised.

It finally arrived!

Not only that, but it can also resist prying from the Great Dao-level!

It is completely secure!

At least under the Heavenly Dao, Han Jue was steady as could be.

For the new guard, a Quasi-Saint powerhouse can be chosen!

Han Jue silently asked: "Among the Quasi-Saints in Taiji Palace, who is the strongest?"

There were many listeners of the Dao in Taiji Palace, and the vast majority of them had never interacted with Han Jue. Therefore, Han Jue had never seen them in the mail.

As for the Simulation Trial, there were several Quasi-Saints that Han Jue could not beat no matter how he fought, so he could not figure out who among them was stronger or weaker.

[Requires deducting two billion years of lifespan. Do you want to continue?]

Continue!

A figure followed by a line of text appeared in Han Jue's mind:

[Shi Duxiao: Quasi-Saint Realm Perfection, Boundless Great Emperor, Great Dao Legacy inheritor]

Han Jue remembered this fellow. He mastered a bizarre and overbearing grand Divine Ability. The moment Han Jue's magical power approached him, it would automatically dissipate, and Divine Abilities cast upon his body would directly vanish.

Han Jue had previously felt that Shi Duxiao was very strong, but he did not expect him to truly be the strongest Quasi-Saint!

Equivalent to the number one person beneath the Saints!

Han Jue immediately chose Shi Duxiao as the guard template.

[Beginning to copy guard]

Han Jue breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his future was bright.

His Dao field was equivalent to having transformed into a Saint's Dao field. Even if a Saint came to attack, they might not succeed, and at the very least, it could stall for a period of time.

He also no longer needed to worry about being spied on by Great Dao Saints.

Coupled with Shi Duxiao, Han Jue could utilize the half-hour to make the Shi Duxiao guard into his own lethal weapon.

Han Jue got very excited just thinking about it.

Right at this moment.

[Empress Nuwa is sending you a Dream Message. Do you wish to accept it?]

Hm?

Didn't Nuwa fall?

Han Jue was stunned.

Acting again?

Han Jue asked in his heart: "If I accept Nuwa's Dream Message, will there be any danger?"

[Requires deducting thirty billion years of lifespan. Do you want to continue?]

Thirty billion years?

This was ten times the net worth of a Heavenly Dao Saint!

Han Jue suddenly remembered when Tai Su Tian previously broke into the dreamscape of him and Xing Hongxuan. She had mentioned that Nuwa was about to leap out of being a Heavenly Dao Saint and wanted Han Jue to inherit the position of the Heavenly Dao Saint.

Could it be…

Continue!

Han Jue gritted his teeth and made his choice.

[The Dao field can shield against prying eyes of Great Dao-level. During the Dream Message, Great Dao Saints cannot kill you]

Settled!

The Dao field had just upgraded.

Han Jue chose to accept Nuwa's Dream Message.

Shortly after, Han Jue entered the dreamscape.

This was a place of verdant mountains and clear waters, with a babbling brook. A massive waterfall cascaded down between two peaks, resembling a silver river.

Empress Nuwa stood by the river. Like a being from myth, she had a human upper body and a snake tail, draped in a rosy-cloud lotus skirt. Her posture was dignified, and a gentle smile appeared on her flawless face as she waved at Han Jue.

Han Jue was dazed for a moment. Instead of stepping forward, he cautiously asked: "Your Excellency is?"

Empress Nuwa laughed and said: "Nuwa, have you ever heard of me?"

"A Saint!"

Han Jue was shocked and hurriedly saluted.

Empress Nuwa stared at Han Jue and smiled, saying: "Han Jue, it is truly difficult to send you a Dream Message."

Han Jue asked in astonishment: "You have sent Dream Messages before? Why did I only just feel it? Could it be because I am in the Dark Forbidden Zone?"

Empress Nuwa said with an ambiguous smile: "Perhaps, but that is not important. Have you recently heard about my fall?"

Han Jue answered truthfully: "I have heard Saints mention it."

Empress Nuwa laughed: "They certainly could not wait."

Han Jue's thoughts were in turmoil.

Was this a scheme of the Saints, or was Nuwa deceiving the Saints?

"I could have long transcended the Heavenly Dao and stepped into the Great Dao Realm, but I have been searching for a successor, hoping someone with a heart of great benevolence would inherit my Heavenly Dao Saint karmic fruit. In this tribulation, the ambition of the Saints was fully exposed, so I seized this opportunity to jump out of the chessboard of the Heavenly Dao. The other Saints think I have truly fallen, but that is not the case. Do not speak of this matter to anyone," Empress Nuwa said with a smile.

Han Jue said cautiously: "If I do not speak of it, the Saints will not know?"

Empress Nuwa replied: "There is no trace of me left in the Heavenly Dao. The Saints are conceited and only believe in themselves. Who knows how many among all living beings believe that I am not dead? How could all the Saints believe it?"

That is true as well…

The gap in Realm led to differences in cognition.

Han Jue took a deep breath and said: "Could it be that you want me to become a Heavenly Dao Saint? I have no such talent. Thank you for your kindness, Empress Nuwa!"

Why does everyone want me to be a Saint?

"Saints like Qiu Xilai and Li Muyi sought you out simply to win you over and prop up a Saint Puppet. I am different; I have already surpassed the Heavenly Dao. Even if you become a Heavenly Dao Saint, it will bring me no benefit. I merely hope to leave a glimmer of life for the Heavenly Dao created by the Dao Ancestor. In this tribulation, the disputes among the Saints are endless, but they are actually just putting on a show. Their purpose is to sabotage the Dao Ancestor's fortune, thereby breaking free from the Dao Ancestor's constraints."

"The Human Race is the Heavenly Dao race established by the Dao Ancestor, yet they were overthrown by them. For their own interests, they might do even more bottomless things. I must choose someone with a heart of great benevolence, and you are that person."

"I have observed you for a long time. Although you have little Karma, you always do your utmost to protect the people around you. The Yuqing Sacred Sect in the Mortal Realm did not help you much, but you have always repaid the kindness, and the Heavenly Emperor is the same. Although I do not know what methods you used, the Heavenly Emperor's tribulations have constantly changed because of you. Not a single other Heavenly Dao Saint has been able to perceive this."

Empress Nuwa's words chilled Han Jue to the bone.

She could see through even this?

Ancestor Xitian also felt that Han Jue was changing destiny. Could this be a Transcendent Daoist?

Han Jue smiled bitterly and said: "I am truly afraid of trouble and only want to Cultivate. I do not want to fight with the Saints. How about this: I will choose a Disciple from among mine who meets your requirements to become a Saint."

Empress Nuwa smiled and asked: "Han Jue, do you treat becoming a Saint as child's play?"

Han Jue fell silent.

But he truly did not dare to accept the position of a Heavenly Dao Saint.

"Very well. To become a Saint, your cultivation must first reach the Quasi-Saint Realm, and you also need Primordial Purple Qi. There are nine strands of Primordial Purple Qi in the Heavenly Dao. My Primordial Purple Qi is left in a certain place, and the Heavenly Dao Saints are probably still searching for it. When the time is ripe, I will hand it over to you."

Empress Nuwa's words caused Han Jue to breathe a sigh of relief.

[Empress Nuwa has generated Favorability towards you. Current Favorability is 2 stars]

Guess which Disciple Han Jue will make the Saint candidate?
