Chapter 478: Empress Houtu's Thoughts, Han Jue's Breakthrough

To satisfy Dao Supreme's needs, Han Jue could only do so by giving a lecture on the Dao.

He focused on explaining how to achieve a Breakthrough to the Grand Unity Realm; after all, he was someone who had walked that path before and possessed plenty of experience.

This lecture lasted for ten years, and Dao Supreme left with his own insights.

Han Jue looked forward to his Breakthrough.

However, Dao Supreme was too reckless and had stumbled not long ago; his temperament still needed to be tempered.

Jiang Yi was the same. Although Zhao Xuanyuan was cautious, he always felt that he could not shoulder heavy responsibilities. Li Yao simply cultivated by hiding away and would never leave the Dao field.

Murong Qi was still the best.

Pity that Murong Qi's Aptitude was lacking.

Han Jue closed his eyes and continued to Cultivate.

…

Two hundred years later.

Dao Supreme successfully Attained the Dao and reached the Grand Unity Realm. Although there was no Heavenly Tribulation, everyone could feel his tyrannical aura.

The Grand Unity Realm!

A Grand Unity Realm expert had finally appeared among the Hidden Sect Disciples!

Five years later.

Dao Supreme completely stabilized his cultivation, and Han Jue rarely stepped out of his Immortal Cave, gathering all the Disciples and having Murong Qi set up a banquet.

Ever since the Hidden Sect was established over ten thousand years ago, this was the first time they were holding a banquet.

What they ate was not meat, but all kinds of spiritual fruits paired with fine brewed wine.

During the banquet, Han Jue mentioned the Grand Unity Realm and the development of the Hidden Sect.

"The Hidden Sect is a gate of seclusion from the world. I hope we maintain our original intention and prioritize cultivation above all else. Perhaps in the current Immortal Realm, when it comes to Immortal Emperor forces, we are number one. However, the Hidden Sect has far too few experts at the God Realm, Grand Unity Realm, and even the higher Quasi-Saint realm, making it difficult for us to contend with other major powers. I hope that before all of you reach the God Realm, you will not easily venture outside. Without reaching the Grand Unity Realm, you must even less easily provoke formidable enemies."

"When the Dao Ancestor suddenly emerged, his cultivation was already invincible in the world. The path we are taking is precisely the path of the Dao Ancestor: bitter cultivation all the way, so that when we finally step out into the world, there are no longer any formidable enemies."

Han Jue gently shook his wine glass, his tone casual.

Everyone could not help but look at Dao Supreme, causing him to feel a sense of shame.

The matter of him previously challenging Jiang Dugu had already spread throughout the Hidden Sect via Jiang Yi's mouth.

Shame aside, Dao Supreme's achievement of the Grand Unity Realm was truly worthy of admiration. Once Han Jue finished speaking, Dao Supreme naturally became the protagonist of the banquet.

Everyone was asking him what it felt like to become a Grand Unity Realm expert.

The banquet lasted for several days.

Han Jue returned to the Daoist temple to continue to Cultivate.

Feeling bored, he asked in his heart, "How much longer until the next tribulation?"

[One hundred billion years of lifespan needs to be deducted. Do you want to continue?]

Continue!

Mere billions of years were no longer something Han Jue cared about.

[If the Heavenly Dao does not change, it will still take forty-nine billion years to welcome the next tribulation.]

Forty-nine billion years?

So long!

By that time, I will definitely be invincible under the Heavenly Dao!

Han Jue could not help but be pleasantly surprised.

However, he did not blindly believe it; after all, there was a precondition.

If the Saints were angered to the extreme, they would definitely alter the progress of the Heavenly Dao.

No matter what, one hundred million years should be no problem.

Han Jue was still full of confidence that he could Attain the Dao and become a Saint within one hundred million years.

…

There are no years in the Immortal Realm, especially during cultivation.

Year after year passed.

Another thousand years passed.

Han Jue was finally getting closer to the Middle Stage of the Quasi-Saint realm.

Thinking back to the last Breakthrough, four thousand years had already passed.

The Quasi-Saint realm was truly difficult to Cultivate.

Han Jue predicted that he would be able to achieve a Breakthrough after Cultivating for at most another hundred years.

The Innate Beings in the Hundred Peaks Immortal River were increasing in number, already exceeding a thousand. Han Duotian had already established good relationships with every single Innate Being; subduing them in the future would definitely not be a difficult task.

The You Clan Members were also usually very quiet, having all developed the temperament of bitter cultivation and gentleness.

Han Jue began to pay close attention to the Nether Clan.

Ten thousand Immortal Emperors; this would be the backbone of the Hidden Sect.

However, he always held a trace of wariness towards the Nether Clan, worried that Empress Houtu would suddenly take them back.

Han Jue suddenly had a bold idea.

How about using Absolute Purification on every single You Clan Member?

Han Jue first called Clan Chief Han You over and performed Absolute Purification on him, which consumed one hundred million years of lifespan.

Not much.

An Immortal Emperor was only worth one hundred million years.

After the purification succeeded, Han You gathered the You Clan Members in a valley. Han Jue appeared and lectured on the Dao for them, purifying them while he lectured.

This process lasted for nearly a hundred years, and Han Jue finally purified the entire Nether Clan.

The You Clan Members did not know about Absolute Purification and were all deeply moved. Han Jue had actually lectured to them alone for a hundred years; how could they not engrave this grace in their hearts?

Han Jue achieved two things with one stroke: he won over their hearts and also put his own mind at ease.

It only cost one trillion years of lifespan, which was not even enough to curse a Saint into developing a Heart Demon.

Returning to the Daoist temple, Han Jue had just started to Cultivate.

[Empress Houtu wants to send you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

Hmm?

So timely?

It seems Empress Houtu can truly sense the You Clan Members.

Han Jue hesitated for a moment and chose to accept.

Entering the dreamscape, he arrived beside the Yellow Springs. Empress Houtu was standing not far away, staring at him quietly.

Han Jue saluted and asked, "Empress Houtu, are you looking for me?"

Empress Houtu asked, "How is the Nether Clan doing?"

Han Jue replied, "Not bad. They are following me in secluded cultivation. Rest assured, I treat them as my own flesh and blood and will never mistreat them."

He played dumb; what Empress Houtu was asking about was definitely the matter of Absolute Purification.

Empress Houtu smiled and said, "Then I can rest assured. I can sense that they have already achieved a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm? How did you nurture them? Your abilities are truly extraordinary."

Han Jue sighed and said, "I gave all my Heaven And Earth Treasure to them."

Empress Houtu fell silent.

Han Jue tentatively asked, "Does Your Ladyship wish to take them back?"

Empress Houtu shook her head and said, "How could that be? I have already entrusted them to you; how could I take them back after they have grown up?"

It is good that you know!

Empress Houtu said, "Your Disciple Yang Tiandong died in the Dao Annihilation Divine Ability, but his Divine Soul was protected by a Saint and has already arrived in my hands. Once the order of Reincarnation is restored, I will let him undergo Reincarnation."

Han Jue bowed in thanks and said, "Thank you, Your Ladyship."

Empress Houtu followed up and asked, "What is your current cultivation?"

Han Jue hesitated for a moment and said, "Early Stage Grand Unity Realm."

Empress Houtu praised, "Your Aptitude is truly remarkable."

The two chatted for a bit longer.

Han Jue's consciousness returned to reality, and he asked in his heart, "Does Empress Houtu want to take back the Nether Clan?"

[Thirty billion years of lifespan needs to be deducted. Do you want to continue?]

Continue!

[Indeed she has this intention.]

Han Jue sighed.

It is all about interests.

However, Han Jue would definitely not let the You Clan Members out. His cooperation with Empress Houtu was give and take; having paid so much, how could he easily hand over the Nether Clan?

Empress Houtu back then could not protect the Witch Clan, which was why she handed Tu Ling'er, Vajra Rage, and the Nether Clan over to Han Jue. Her only request was that Han Jue protect them well, and Han Jue had accomplished this brilliantly.

Once he nurtured the Nether Clan to the Grand Unity Realm, even if Empress Houtu wanted to take them back at that time, there would be no way.

The You Clan Members were not fools; the grace of upbringing and teaching was greater than the grace of creation!

Han Jue cast aside distracting thoughts and began to Cultivate, charging towards the Middle Stage of the Quasi-Saint realm.

Fifty years later.

Han Jue welcomed an opportunity for a Breakthrough.

He was just about to make a Breakthrough.

[Qiu Xilai wants to send you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

[Qiu Xilai wants to send you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

[Qiu Xilai wants to send you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

…

This bastard is spamming the screen again!

Han Jue was almost infuriated to the point of exploding. Why did it have to be at this time?
