Chapter 487: Eerie Palm, Twenty Thousand Years Old

Chapter 487: Eerie Palm, Twenty Thousand Years Old

Exactly one thousand years had passed since Lord Jingtian left.

In between his Cultivate, Han Jue cursed the Sage of Destiny while checking his mail.

Most of the mail contents were still various Opportunity, which bored him.

It had been a long time since he last saw the screen flooded with 'Ambushed', and Han Jue was actually somewhat unaccustomed to it.

It seemed that the Immortal Realm would remain peaceful for a very long time.

Han Jue felt this was quite good, as it happened to give them time to develop.

The cultivation of the Hidden Sect Disciples was steadily increasing, and no one was stagnating. One had to admit that the Extreme Origin Great Dao encompassed all things and was truly marvelous; all Disciples could gain comprehension from it.

Han Jue realized one thing: once one reached the Dao level, Aptitude was actually not that important; what mattered more was suitability and Comprehension Ability.

On this day.

Enlightenment Sword came to visit Han Jue.

She was already a Ninth Revolution Immortal Emperor, just a step away from the God Realm, and she hoped Han Jue could lend her a hand.

Han Jue began to lecture on the Dao to her alone, focusing exclusively on the God Realm.

Twenty years later, Enlightenment Sword left with her comprehension.

One hundred and thirty-nine years later, Enlightenment Sword successfully attained the First Profound Divine Realm.

The God Realm Disciples of the Hidden Sect were becoming more and more numerous.

The entire Hidden Sect was in a flourishing state.

The low-level Innate Beings also began to focus on Cultivate, and the number of Innate Beings around the Hundred Peaks Immortal River was still increasing. However, ever since Gu Zhuoyin stumbled here, no strong enemies had come to forcefully break in again.

Rumble—

Near the Hundred Peaks Immortal River, the earth shook, startling away many Innate Beings and Vicious Beast.

One could see huge fingers bursting out of the soil, and soon, an entire palm stood upon the ground, even larger than mountains, its fingertips soaring into the clouds.

This palm was covered in dense, shocking bloody scars, and the fingers appeared incomparably stiff.

Beneath the fusang tree, Jiang Yi gazed into the distance at that palm, couldn't help frowning, and muttered, "That hand looks like I've seen it somewhere before."

The Black Hell Chicken calmly said, "Didn't severed limbs fall from the sky thousands of years ago? It's probably some mighty figure scheming. As long as it doesn't appear inside the Hundred Peaks Immortal River, we don't need to worry."

Jiang Yi glanced at it, acting like a lofty chicken.

Beings everywhere in the Hundred Peaks Immortal River were discussing that palm.

Inside the Daoist temple.

Han Jue's expression was peculiar.

This palm…

Zu Tu's hand!

The aura was identical, only far more evil!

Could it be that after Zu Tu perished, his Physical Body was taken away by a Saint?

Zu Tu was the strongest being in the early stages of the Immeasurable Calamity, and he had died because of Han Jue. Now that his palm appeared near the dojo, Han Jue inexplicably felt a bit nervous.

"I want to know why this palm appeared near the dojo?"

Han Jue thought silently.

[Requires deducting two billion years of lifespan, do you want to continue]

Continue!

[Done by Great Emperor Xiao]

Han Jue frowned; as expected, it was him.

The person who scattered the severed limbs into the Immortal Realm back then was none other than Great Emperor Xiao.

This person was one of the ancestors of the Demon Race, backed by the Demon Race, and was extremely ambitious.

Great Emperor Xiao noticing Han Jue was probably because of that glance they exchanged back then.

Han Jue had a premonition that in the next Immeasurable Calamity, the Demon Race would definitely make an appearance and make a comeback.

After thinking about it, Han Jue decided to ignore it for now.

It just so happened to let that palm drive away the surrounding beings, returning peace to the Hundred Peaks Immortal River.

Even if Great Emperor Xiao came personally, it would be impossible to break through the dojo's defense.

Zu Tu's palm had absorbed boundless Karma and resentment, and the aura of misfortune it exuded made the beings uneasy.

Not a few years later, some beings couldn't hold on and fled the place.

This matter fit Han Jue's intentions perfectly.

Han Jue extended his Divine Thought, sweeping across multiple domains, and discovered that it wasn't just the Hundred Peaks Immortal River; severed limbs from the previous calamity were popping up everywhere, occupying spirit-rich lands and driving away the Innate Beings.

Only then did Han Jue understand.

It turned out that Great Emperor Xiao wanted to restrict the development of the Innate Beings.

Since it wasn't targeted solely at Han Jue, he didn't need to meddle.

Just like that.

Another seven hundred years passed.

Outside the Hundred Peaks Immortal River, a large number of Cultivator arrived. These Cultivator all rushed toward Zu Tu's palm, setting up Formation around it with great fanfare.

This scene drew the attention of the Hidden Sect Disciples.

"Jie Sect Disciples."

Long Hao recognized the Dao robes worn by those Disciples and clicked his tongue in wonder.

The Leader of the Jie Sect had come before; bringing so many Disciples this time, what were they trying to do?

The others also stared closely at those Jie Sect Disciples.

Han Jue inside the Daoist temple was also watching.

A few days later, the Jie Sect Disciples surrounded Zu Tu's palm and began to activate the Formation. Streamers of Formation rose up—golden locks wrapped around Zu Tu's palm, black flames burned it, and eerie red qi seeped into it. Several thousand Jie Sect Disciples continuously cast spells.

A golden wheel appeared high in the sky, resembling dozens of golden rings stacked together, with faint, profound characters shining, magnificent and grand.

Zu Tu's palm trembled violently, seeming to struggle.

Boom!

An eerie force suddenly erupted, visible to the naked eye, sweeping across the Jie Sect Disciples.

Immediately after, the front-row Jie Sect Disciples directly petrified and turned into flying ash.

This scene frightened the other Jie Sect Disciples into dodging frantically.

Zu Tu's palm suddenly clenched into a fist, and the rising strong wind swept across all directions, shattering all the surrounding Formation.

The other Jie Sect Disciples seemed to suffer heavy blows, falling one after another and smashing into the mountains. One could see them withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into dried corpses. Their whole bodies trembled, wanting to make a sound, but they were unable to do so, and finally all of them perished.

Heaven and earth fell silent.

The Hidden Sect Disciples were all stunned; was this palm so formidable?

Even Dao Supreme, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, couldn't help frowning.

But Han Jue saw that this palm already possessed power close to a Quasi-Saint. The strongest of these Disciples was only an Immortal Emperor; how could they possibly subdue it?

"Why did Lord Jingtian let them come to their deaths?"

Han Jue couldn't figure it out.

Little did he know, it wasn't Lord Jingtian who made them seek death; the entire Jie Sect was everywhere subduing the remnant bodies of the calamity, and this batch of Disciples had their own thoughts, which was why they rushed over.

After the Jie Sect Disciples perished, Zu Tu's palm slowly relaxed. Looking down from high above, it was as if a giant had been buried alive here.

This battle frightened the Hidden Sect Disciples, but since Han Jue didn't say anything, they didn't worry too much. However, every time they saw Zu Tu's palm, their hearts would still bristle with fear.

Time continued to flow.

More than thirty years later.

[Detected that you are now twenty thousand years old, you have the following choices]

[One, immediately emerge into the world and clean up the remnant bodies of the calamity to obtain boundless Karma, a great dao fragment, and a heavenly dao spirit stone]

[Two, Cultivate in a low-profile manner without tainting yourself with the Karma of the world, to obtain a great dao fragment and a heavenly dao spirit stone]

Han Jue opened his eyes abruptly, his eyes brightening.

It's here!

It has arrived!

A heavenly dao spirit stone!

As expected of the achievement reward for turning twenty thousand years old!

The book of misfortune could be upgraded!

Han Jue thought happily, as if he could already see the death date of the Sage of Destiny.

He chose the second option without hesitation.

The book of misfortune was already a Grand Unity Supreme Treasure. Raising it another level would surely be a major upgrade!

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

He wondered if the Magic Treasure would reach the Quasi-Saint Rank. If not, it would directly become a Heavenly Dao Magic Treasure, and its cursing power…

Han Jue didn't even dare to think too deeply about it!
