Chapter 457: Hidden Sect Zhao Yun, Decisive Battle

"Thank you for your understanding, Empress. I will definitely choose a benevolent person who cares for all living beings to inherit this saint position."

Han Jue said, cupping his fists, speaking very sincerely.

Empress Nuwa chuckled and said, "Let us leave the matter at this for now. From now on, there will no longer be Nuwa in the Heavenly Dao; you can only rely on yourself. I cannot interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Dao, as it violates the Dao."

Han Jue nodded and said, "Understood. I wouldn't dare trouble you either, Empress."

Empress Nuwa waved her sleeve, and the dreamscape shattered.

Han Jue's consciousness returned to reality.

He let out a long sigh.

Saints really know how to play games, scheming deeper than one another. Who could have expected that Empress Nuwa hadn't truly fallen? Even the Saints didn't know!

"Regardless, at least I didn't take up the Heavenly Dao Saint fruit position, nor did I offend the Saints. That counts as a success."

Han Jue thought silently. Up until now, he hadn't offended any Saints—the Sage of Destiny didn't count. It was the Dark Forbidden Lord who offended the Sage of Destiny; what did that have to do with him, Han Jue?

Han Jue sighed, not knowing what to say.

Everything was properly arranged, and he even managed to get his hands on a saint position. What Han Jue needed to do now was to continue to Cultivate and strive to attain invincible strength beneath the Saints before entering the Immortal Realm. Even if he couldn't, it didn't matter; as long as he stayed in the Daoist temple, the Saints couldn't break in anyway.

Wait.

Better be cautious.

"Can the Formation of the Daoist temple completely block the invasion of Heavenly Dao Saints?" Han Jue asked in his heart.

[Unable to block the simultaneous invasion of multiple Heavenly Dao Saints]

Han Jue's eyelids twitched wildly.

It's still not secure enough.

It seemed that before the Daoist temple was upgraded once more, he still couldn't provoke the Saints. He had to treat them politely and with utmost caution.

Han Jue shook his head with a wry smile and continued to Cultivate.

…

The news of Nuwa's fall drove all living beings of the Heavenly Dao even madder. Knowing that Saints were not truly immortal, living beings grew bolder and bolder, all wanting to contend for great Luck during the calamity, and even Attain the Dao and become a Saint!

The Heavenly Court and the Human Race had already stopped fighting, but the various factions supporting them began to slaughter each other frantically. Those with grudges sought revenge, and those without seized resources. For a time, the Immortal Realm became even more chaotic.

In an instant, more and more factions surfaced, and even more mighty figures became renowned throughout the world.

As for the celestial race, there was temporarily no trace of them.

The Dark Forbidden Zone also began to grow restless.

Forty-five years later, Hidden Sect Island was once again attacked by an Inauspicious Divine Spirit.

Han Jue directly let the Inauspicious Divine Spirit in and then sent Zhao Yun to deal with this Inauspicious Divine Spirit.

Zhao Yun was the new guardian, a replica of Shi Duxiao!

This was also Zhao Yun's first battle. With a single wave of his hand, the Inauspicious Divine Spirit was directly suppressed onto the beach, unable to move a single inch. This left the Hidden Sect Disciples dumbfounded.

This new guardian was even stronger than Lü Bu and Ma Chao!

After Zhao Yun suppressed the Inauspicious Divine Spirit, the Eerie Divine Spirit immediately went forth to devour it, growing stronger once again.

The Hidden Sect Disciples couldn't see the Eerie Divine Spirit and assumed it was some kind of Divine Ability of Zhao Yun's that caused the Inauspicious Divine Spirit to be utterly destroyed in both body and soul.

After solving the Inauspicious Divine Spirit, Zhao Yun returned expressionlessly to the fusang tree to guard the space-time vortex.

Shi Duxiao's appearance was not as overbearing as Zu Tu's, and he even appeared slightly frail, but his gaze was incomparably cold and sharp, making people dare not meet his eyes.

On the other side.

Inside the Innate Cave Mansion, Han Jue wore a worried look.

This time's Inauspicious Divine Spirit seemed even more powerful than before. If this went on, the Dark Forbidden Zone would truly become flooded with Inauspicious Divine Spirits.

If one day an Inauspicious Divine Spirit surpassing Heavenly Dao Saints were to appear, that would be bad.

Han Jue moved Hidden Sect Island once again. Just in case there was some kind of connection between the Inauspicious Divine Spirits, it wouldn't do to stay put.

A few days later, Hidden Sect Island stopped.

Han Jue continued to Cultivate, making a dash for the Perfection of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.

…

At the edge of the boundless ocean in the Immortal Realm, a precipitous cliff stretched across the coast, as if blocking the ocean right here.

Two figures stood upon the precipitous cliff.

They were none other than Zhou Fan and Su Qi.

Zhou Fan was dressed in black, wearing a black jade crown carved with a flood dragon. He held a large cauldron in one hand, radiating Killing Intent.

Su Qi was also dressed in black, but his hair was disheveled, his eyes were pitch-black, and his forehead was covered with writhing, eerie characters.

The two looked at each other, not making a move for a long time.

Zhou Fan slowly spoke, "I didn't expect my final opponent to be you."

Su Qi said, "I didn't expect such a tiny Crimson Cloud Realm to hide so many Calamity Responders."

"If Han Jue knew that you and I were having a decisive battle, what would he think?"

"Perhaps he would sigh with emotion, but it wouldn't affect his old self's Dao Heart. A dispute between you and me is likely already child's play in his eyes."

"That's right. He should be breaking through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal by now."

"That's a given. My Master's Aptitude is naturally peerless in the world."

"Peerless in the world? Do you know of the Chaos Physique?"

"I know. Aren't you one too?"

"Haha."

Zhou Fan laughed brazenly as wisps of yellow Qi overflowed from the large cauldron and poured into his body, causing his Aura to skyrocket.

Su Qi's robes billowed as the Qi of misfortune erupted.

Zhou Fan needed boundless Karma to continue acting in a Heaven-Defying manner.

Su Qi needed great Luck to cleanse his own misfortune.

Neither of them wanted to avoid this battle. They weren't really acquaintances to begin with, just people who both knew Han Jue. Han Jue wasn't enough to make them give up hunting each other down.

…

Ten years later.

Han Jue took out the book of misfortune to curse the Sage of Destiny while habitually checking the mail.

[Your friend Heavenly Emperor was driven out by your friend Qiu Xilai and entered the Guixu Divine Realm.]

[Your friend Huang Zuntian received pointers from a Saint, causing his Dao Cultivation to surge greatly.]

[Your friend Huang Zuntian joined the celestial race, and his Luck underwent a qualitative transformation.]

[Your friend Zhou Fan was attacked by your Disciple Su Qi and suffered heavy injuries.]

[Your Disciple Su Qi was attacked by your friend Zhou Fan and suffered heavy injuries.]

[Your friend Mo Zhu learned a boundless Cultivation Technique due to receiving pointers from a Saint.]

[Your friend Li Daokong was attacked by your friend Jiang Dugu.]

…

Seeing the Heavenly Emperor's situation, Han Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiu Xilai had indeed kept his promise, but would the Heavenly Emperor be in danger going to the Guixu Divine Realm?

He had to calculate it before sending a Dream Message.

Han Jue noticed that Mo Zhu finally had some activity. Previously, he learned that Mo Zhu was taken in as a Disciple by the Sect Master of the Human Sect, which was Li Muyi. Now that she had learned a boundless Cultivation Technique, it could be considered a good Opportunity.

If not for Li Muyi wanting to win over Han Jue, Mo Zhu would probably have died in the Immortal Realm long ago.

Toward this fair maiden, Han Jue wished her well, but he wouldn't take it too much to heart.

Back then, he had already tried to make her stay, but she insisted on leaving. Since that was the case, she had to take responsibility for her own choices.

Years could smooth over everything, and they could also prove everything.

Five days later.

Han Jue put down the book of misfortune and asked in his heart, "Is there a Saint by the Heavenly Emperor's side?"

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

Continue!

[Yes]

Han Jue was depressed. Why was there still one?

Could Qiu Xilai be following the Heavenly Emperor all along?

Forget it, he would send a Dream Message later.

Han Jue prepared to continue to Cultivate.

At this moment, he suddenly sensed a powerful Aura approaching.

It came from the fusang tree!

The space-time vortex!

At the same time, on the fusang tree, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao stood up simultaneously, blocking in front of the space-time vortex. A pair of cold, sinister eyes revealed themselves from within the vortex.

"I didn't expect that stumbling around blindly would allow me to discover a space-time barrier. This will be just right for this seat to establish a Daoist temple!"

A sneer came out from within the space-time vortex.
