Chapter 476: The Might of the Hidden Sect, the Human Sect Wants to Rise

Fifty years later.

Immortal Realm, Thirteenth Heaven.

Palaces stood in numbers above sea of clouds, with rows of immortal birds circling in flight, beautiful as a painting.

Murong Qi, Dao Supreme, and Jiang Yi flew over with two hundred You Clan Members, looking around as they advanced.

"Is this the Heavenly Race?"

"It feels even grander than the Heavenly Court of the past."

"It is said that the Clan Chief of the Heavenly Race has a close relationship with our Sect Leader?"

"Immortal God Ji once joined forces with Grandmaster to fight against the immortal gods."

"Was it really joining forces?"

Murong Qi and the other two chatted softly, their eyes never stopping from scanning in all directions.

The Aura of two hundred Immortal Emperors gathered together was extremely powerful, drawing the attention of beings in front of palaces along the way.

Lord Fang Huang flew over, arriving before Murong Qi, and asked, "You are…"

Murong Qi said, "Hidden Sect Disciple, Murong Qi."

Lord Fang Huang raised an eyebrow and looked at Dao Supreme and Jiang Yi.

He was slightly moved.

Dao Supreme asked, "Where is Fang Liang? Is he not coming to meet us?"

Lord Fang Huang said, "Follow me. Heavenly Emperor Fang is currently discussing matters with the Heavenly Ancestor."

Murong Qi nodded.

The group from the Hidden Sect continued forward. Their appearance caused an undercurrent to surge within the Thirteenth Heaven.

Ever since Su Qi unleashed the Dao Annihilation Divine Ability, let alone Immortal Emperors, not many God Realm existences remained, and even the Immortal Emperors of the Three Sects of the Daoist Gate were few and far between.

The Heavenly Race had the most Immortal Emperors, having suffered no impact from the Dao Annihilation Divine Ability.

One of the palaces served as the temporary residence of the Jie Sect.

Inside the palace, Lord Jingtian and Huang Zuntian were discussing the territory they wanted to fight for.

Although the Immortal Realm was vast, as an orthodox sect of the Daoist Gate, the Jie Sect could not receive less territory than other forces. This was a matter of Face, and over time, it would subtly affect the Jie Sect's status in the minds of all living beings.

A Disciple suddenly rushed in.

"Sect Master, Vice Sect Master, a mysterious force has arrived at the Thirteenth Heaven, boasting two hundred Immortal Emperors!"

The Jie Sect Disciple knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice.

Two hundred Immortal Emperors!

Lord Jingtian and Huang Zuntian were astonished.

Lord Jingtian asked, "Which force is it?"

The Jie Sect Disciple said, "It seems to be called the Hidden Sect."

The Hidden Sect!

Huang Zuntian's eyelids twitched.

Lord Jingtian narrowed his eyes and said, "The Hidden Sect… Why haven't I heard of it before? Wait, it seems Heavenly Emperor Fang came from the Hidden Sect. Is the Hidden Sect a force from the Mortal Realm?"

The Jie Sect Disciple said, "The leader of the Hidden Sect team is Divine Emperor Miaozhen, a former Prodigy of the Divine Palace. Accompanying them are Dao Supreme, the number one Prodigy of the Divine Palace, and Jiang Yi, the number one Prodigy of the Golden Crow Divine Clan."

At this point, Lord Jingtian could no longer remain calm.

Such a formidable force had to be paid close attention to!

Every time a Calamity ended, powerful forces would emerge.

Just like the previous Divine Palace, where Zu Tu absorbed losers from various forces, gathering the momentum of the Divine Palace to temporarily carve up a fourth of the Heavenly Dao.

"It seems I have to go meet them in person," Lord Jingtian muttered to himself.

Similar scenes played out one after another in the palaces where various forces resided.

To still be able to field two hundred Immortal Emperors after the Calamity ended made such a force terrifying beyond doubt. They had to try their best to win them over, or at least form a good relation to avoid becoming enemies in the future.

…

Hundred Peaks Immortal River.

Han Jue calculated the time; the Heavenly Race's banquet should have already started.

He took out the heavenly dao token and communicated with Fang Liang, hoping Fang Liang would take care of the Hidden Sect.

Fang Liang guaranteed that he would never let anything bad happen to the Hidden Sect, claiming he had already discussed it with Immortal God Ji and would definitely not mistreat the Hidden Sect.

Han Jue still trusted the two of them quite a bit.

During the previous Calamity, neither of them had screwed over the Hidden Sect Disciples.

On this day.

Han Jue walked out of the Daoist temple and found Zhou Mingyue.

Chu Shiren, Zhou Mingyue, Lü Huaxu, and Han Duotian were meditating beside a small river.

Chu Shiren was preaching the Buddhist Dharma. Zhou Mingyue listened with great impatience, but could only endure it.

Seeing Han Jue appear, Zhou Mingyue stood up first and cried out pleasantly in surprise, "Grandmaster!"

Hearing this, the other three stood up one after another and bowed in greeting.

Han Jue still wore the yin-yang protecting sun and moon, glowing with divine light that prevented anyone from peering at his true appearance.

Han Duotian was very nervous. Every time he faced Han Jue, he felt inexplicably afraid, yet normally he admired Han Jue the most, making this emotion extremely contradictory.

Lü Huaxu, the Reincarnation of Great Emperor Zi Wei, secretly anticipated: could Han Jue be coming to give them special, private instruction?

Chu Shiren was the first to ask, "Grandmaster, what brings you here?"

His eyes shone brightly.

Behind Dao Supreme, Zhao Xuanyuan, Zhou Fan, Jiang Yi, and Li Yao, he felt his talent was in no way inferior to anyone, and he even wanted to catch up to them.

Han Jue said, "I've been sitting for too long and wanted to take a walk. Walk with me."

Hearing this, the four master and Disciples hastily nodded in agreement.

The group of five began walking through the mountain forest, and Han Jue started talking about the past. He recounted his experiences growing up in the outer sect of the Yuqing Sacred Sect during his youth, leaving out anything regarding the System.

What he talked about were trivial matters like planting flowers and growing grass, but Chu Shiren and the other four listened very attentively.

Han Jue was not a talkative person, so there had to be a profound meaning behind telling them this.

As he spoke on, Han Jue also sank into memory.

From Mortal to immortal, the sun and moon shifted.

The vicissitudes of time were nothing more than this.

After Han Jue finished speaking, he fell silent, walking while immersed in the past.

Chu Shiren and the four others pondered in their own minds.

What exactly did this story signify?

If they couldn't even comprehend this story, how could they have the Face to ask Han Jue for special guidance?

In the end, when Han Jue parted ways with them, he still didn't point out the deep meaning, leaving the five to discuss it among themselves in private.

…

Ten years later.

Thinking that the Heavenly Race's banquet should be over, Han Jue checked his mail.

[Your friend Immortal God Ji was attacked by a Quasi-Saint. His Physical Body was destroyed, but fortunately, a supreme treasure protected his body.]

[Your Disciple Dao Supreme was attacked by your friend Jiang Dugu and was severely injured.]

[Your Grand-disciple Fang Liang was attacked by your friend Jiang Dugu and was severely injured.]

[Your friend Lord Jingtian was attacked by your friend Jiang Dugu and was severely injured.]

[Your friend Huang Zuntian was attacked by your friend Jiang Dugu and was severely injured.]

[Your friend Jiang Dugu was attacked by a mysterious Quasi-Saint.]

…

Han Jue frowned. What was going on? Jiang Dugu attacked the Heavenly Race's banquet?

Hadn't Jiang Dugu already joined the Heavenly Race?

Han Jue immediately asked, "Why did Jiang Dugu attack the Heavenly Race's banquet?"

[2 billion years of lifespan will be deducted. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue!

Han Jue's consciousness was drawn into an Evolution Illusion.

He arrived inside a vast expanse of palaces. Judging by its immense scale, it was likely another Saint's Dao Field.

Jiang Dugu was kneeling before a figure of light and shadow.

The figure of light and shadow spoke, "The Heavenly Ancestor of the Heavenly Race has grown too arrogant, believing he can do whatever he pleases just because he has the protection of the Heavenly Dao. It is time for the Human Sect to rise as well. From this day forth, you are the Sect Master of the Human Sect. Vigorously develop the Human Sect, spread the Daoist teachings, and before the next Calamity, the Human Sect must become one of the paramount forces in the world."

"For this Heavenly Race banquet, go teach Immortal God Ji a lesson."

Jiang Dugu frowned and asked, "In the next Calamity, must the Human Sect enter the calamity?"

The previous Calamity had just ended, and thinking back on it even now filled him with dread; he did not want to enter the calamity again.

The figure of light and shadow replied, "If you perform well, you can Attain the Dao and become a Saint before the Calamity. Nuwa has fallen, and her saint position is already controlled by the Human Sect. It all depends on your performance."

Thanks to FL Right Hand for tipping 100,000 Qidian Coins, becoming the 10th Alliance Master of this book on Qidian, single-handedly reducing the remaining seats on the Hundred Alliance List to only ninety—terrifyingly impressive!

Truly worthy of being a new big shot after the Calamity!
