Chapter 469: Sima Yi, The Unease of the Mingji Saint

Relying solely on the Myriad Life Sword, Han Jue could still dominate those below the Saint. He tried challenging a Saint, but the Saint shattered his Divine Ability with a single slap and proceeded to kill him.

Although the Myriad Life Sword was strong, it could not break through the essence of magic power.

Additionally, the Myriad Life Sword had one fatal flaw.

That was that it could not be cast in the Void Realm.

There was nothing in the Void Realm, so it could not manifest into a sword.

If in heaven and earth, the Myriad Life Sword had more lethality than the Taiyi Zizai Dharma Idol, but it was not as stable as the Taiyi Zizai Dharma Idol, which could be cast anywhere.

Regardless, Han Jue had mastered two great dao Divine Abilities, firmly securing his position as the number one beneath the Saint.

Han Jue did not become arrogant and continued to Cultivate.

Reaching the Quasi-Saint realm as soon as possible was the most important thing.

In the blink of an eye, another seventeen years passed.

One day.

The Black Prison Chicken, Chaos Heavenly Dog, Three-Headed Flood Dragon King, Black Prison Demon Lord, Jiang Yi, Ada, and Xiao Er came to visit.

Han Jue allowed them to enter the Daoist temple.

With so many people coming to find him at once, the matter was not simple.

Han Jue looked at them, not in a rush to speak.

Jiang Yi took a deep breath and said, "We want to go out!"

Han Jue asked, "Why?"

Jiang Yi said, "Many Vicious Beasts have broken their Seals between heaven and earth. We sense that if we devour those Vicious Beasts, our Aptitude will improve."

Han Jue only then realized that all who came were Yao Beasts.

He looked at the Black Prison Chicken.

The Black Prison Chicken stood behind the crowd, trembling and extremely nervous.

Han Jue smiled and asked, "You want to go out too?"

Feeling Han Jue's gaze, the Black Prison Chicken swallowed its saliva and said, "Not really…"

The Black Prison Demon Lord said, "Let it come with us. We will act together, so nothing will happen. Otherwise, given its Aptitude, it will be hard for it to achieve anything in the future."

Han Jue did not agree immediately but fell into thought.

The Three-Headed Flood Dragon King smiled and said, "Master, let us go. Although those Vicious Beasts are strong, they are no match for Jiang Yi. We have already agreed to consume every Vicious Beast together."

Han Jue asked in his heart, "If they go out to hunt Vicious Beasts, will they be influenced by the Heavenly Dao?"

[Requires deduction of one billion years of lifespan. Continue?]

Continue!

[No, this is just the evolution process of the Heavenly Dao, awakening their instincts, not a Calamity.]

Han Jue thought for a moment and said, "Go, be careful in everything."

The group of demons was immediately overjoyed and gave their assurances.

Han Jue suddenly realized this seemed to be the Black Prison Chicken's first time going out.

He wondered if it could overcome its psychological barrier.

That day, the Hidden Gate demons departed, and the Black Prison Demon Lord took the other Black Prison Phoenixes along.

Five years later.

Han Duotian, which was the Duotian Stone, successfully took human form.

Just like that, a handsome youth appeared by Zhou Mingyue's side. Wherever Zhou Mingyue went, he followed.

The other Disciples were very interested in this new Hidden Gate Disciple and often came to see Han Duotian, even guiding his Cultivation.

Although Han Duotian was the Disciple of Zhou Mingyue, he received care from the entire Hidden Gate.

Tu Linger was always sentimental when she saw him; she thought of Long Hao.

Back then, she watched Long Hao grow up. Now that the Calamity had ended, Long Hao had not returned, so he had likely fallen.

Zhou Fan had previously said that except for the Celestial Clan and the Luck sects, almost all beings below the Daluo realm had died. The True Dragon Clan also suffered countless casualties, and the Celestial Emperor had long since fallen, so no one could likely protect Long Hao.

Not only Long Hao, but Su Qi and Yang Tiandong had also been missing for a long time.

Nearly half of the Hidden Gate's second-generation Disciples had been lost.

The Disciples worried that Han Duotian would follow in Long Hao's footsteps, so they often used Long Hao as an example to warn him.

Fortunately, Han Duotian had a gentle personality and no strong ambition. He was not extremely eager for Cultivation, so he probably wouldn't think about going out.

After the Calamity ended, Han Jue truly realized what it meant for time to fly like a shuttle, and the Prehistoric Era did not count years.

The Immortal Realm was desolate. After returning for so long, he had not seen any danger attack the Hundred Peaks Immortal River. The entire Hidden Gate lived very peacefully and plainly.

Such times might last for a long time. Chu Shiren guessed it might take millions of years for the first batch of Innate Beings to appear on the Immortal Realm's land.

Han Duotian could take human form so quickly thanks to the dojo's Spiritual Qi, but apart from here, there was no second place in the entire Immortal Realm that could compare to the Hundred Peaks Immortal River in terms of Immortal Qi.

A dozen years later.

[Detected that you have reached nine thousand years of age. You have the following choices:]

[One: Enter the world to enlighten all beings and compete for heavenly dao merit. Can obtain one great dao fragment and one heavenly dao spirit stone.]

[Two: Do not enter the world for now and Cultivate with peace of mind. Can obtain one heavenly dao spirit stone and one dojo guardian.]

Han Jue was filled with emotion.

Unknowingly, he was already nine thousand years old.

But why did nine thousand years old sound like an insult?

Han Jue directly chose the second option.

It was also a Quasi-Saint guardian.

Han Jue suddenly had a bold idea.

"Can I choose to replicate myself?"

[Cannot.]

Han Jue's excitement was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water. He could only honestly choose to replicate Shi Duxiao.

Let's call the new guardian… Sima Yi!

Thus, Han Jue had three Shi Duxiao guardians: Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Sima Yi.

The safety coefficient of the dojo was improved once again.

Han Jue took out the heavenly dao spirit stone and the book of misfortune, and began to upgrade the book of misfortune.

He could have what he had today, and the book of misfortune contributed significantly, so it must be upgraded.

When dealing with powerful enemies far beyond himself, the effect of the book of misfortune was too strong.

A few days later.

The book of misfortune was successfully upgraded, from a Daluo Spirit Treasure to a Daluo Supreme Treasure.

To test the effect, Han Jue directly cursed the Mingji Saint, while offering one trillion years of lifespan.

The final result was that he did not see any mail from the Mingji Saint.

A waste.

Han Jue was not disappointed; messing with him was the right thing to do anyway.

Sooner or later, he would cause trouble!

After finishing the curse, Han Jue continued to Cultivate.

…

Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven, inside a great hall.

The Mingji Saint opened his eyes, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Who exactly is the Dark Forbidden Master? This power of the curse has increased again. It is impossible for him to Cultivate so quickly; he must be very strong himself. He was just lowering my vigilance against him before."

"He is definitely a Saint."

The Mingji Saint first suspected Qiu Xilai.

Among the Heavenly Dao Sages, only they mastered the Dao Annihilation Divine Ability. They posed the greatest threat to each other, so they had to associate with each other to avoid the other party acting recklessly.

Of course, other Heavenly Dao Sages were not excluded, nor were the Heavenly Dao Sages of the Three Sects of the Daoist Gate.

The Three Sects of the Daoist Gate were the orthodox line of the Dao Ancestor and had always held the main say among the Heavenly Dao Sages. They often grouped together and colluded with other Sages. The Mingji Saint did not come from the Three Sects and even had little relationship with the Dao Ancestor. Now that he had mastered the Dao Annihilation Divine Ability, he was definitely being targeted.

The Mingji Saint felt he must find out the identity of the Dark Forbidden Master, otherwise, he would definitely become a great trouble in the future.

"Otherwise, I will also curse other Sages, impersonating the Dark Forbidden Master to first throw the Sages into chaos. That way, that guy will easily reveal his true colors."

The Mingji Saint thought silently.

If he were the Dark Forbidden Master and was cursed in return, he would certainly be worried, believing he had been discovered. He would either restrain himself for a period or directly tear off the mask.

If he really tore off the mask, the Mingji Saint would not fear other Heavenly Dao Sages at all.

One-on-one, he was full of confidence.
