Chapter 498 Mutual Pecking of Noobs, Stances of Dao and Demons

The one who made a move was none other than Han Jue!

He directly moved the entire Human Race beyond the number domains, far away from the Hundred Peaks Immortal River.

Seeing this, Zhou Fan couldn't help but be stunned, followed by an involuntary sigh of relief.

Upon hearing just now that the Human Race might face extinction, he had instinctively felt a pang of compassion, but as the Human Race was moved away, he suddenly snapped to his senses.

How could the Human Race be so easily exterminated!

Quite a few Disciples within the Hidden Sect alone came from the Human Race!

At the same time, he was shocked by Han Jue's cultivation.

His Divine Thought could no longer capture the Human Race, yet Han Jue had blown the Human Race away in a single breath. Such an ability was unimaginable.

Inside the Daoist temple.

Han Jue wore an impatient look.

"They only know how to bicker and don't know how to be content!"

Han Jue muttered to himself. Whether the Human Race was truly facing a crisis or if it was Chan Fo's arrangement, Han Jue couldn't be bothered to investigate and simply sent them packing!

Over these years, the Human Race had frantically built cities, almost completely surrounding the Hundred Peaks Immortal River. This was definitely no coincidence.

Unfortunately, they had overestimated themselves.

In the face of absolute power, any schemes and tricks were a joke!

He probed his Divine Thought deep underground; over ninety percent of the thousands of Qilin eggs had already hatched, which wasn't bad.

During this period, the longer the Innate Beings took to gestate, the higher their Physical Body Aptitude.

Of course, that was only for physical Aptitude.

Having reached Han Jue's level, physical Aptitude was no longer important; he valued Comprehension Ability much more.

Li Yao belonged to the category where her physical Aptitude wasn't top-notch, but her Comprehension Ability was extremely strong. This was also why she could closely trail the top-tier Disciples of the Hidden Sect.

At this moment.

Li Daokong suddenly came to visit Han Jue, and Han Jue let him in.

Han Jue asked with a smile, "What brings you here?"

Ever since Li Daokong and Li Xuan'ao joined the Hidden Sect, they had been very well-behaved, much better than Han Jue had expected.

Especially Li Xuan'ao, who even took the initiative to befriend other Disciples.

Having interacted for so many years, Han Jue had completely accepted them.

Li Daokong asked, "May I ask, Sect Leader, what status do the two of us hold in the Hidden Sect?"

Han Jue pondered and said, "From today onwards, you two shall be Protectors of the Hidden Sect, with status equivalent to second-generation Disciples. You will be the Great Protector, and Li Xuan'ao will be the Second Protector. How does that sound?"

Li Daokong smiled and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader!"

He wouldn't dare think of standing on equal footing with Han Jue. His mindset had changed by now; in his heart, Han Jue was even higher than a Heavenly Dao Saint!

Li Daokong did not linger either; he bowed and left.

Han Jue thought for a moment and called Jiang Yi in.

"From today onwards, you are the Third Protector of the Hidden Sect, with status equivalent to second-generation Disciples."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi was moved, a look of pleasant surprise appearing on his face.

He asked, "Just me as a Protector?"

"You are the Third Protector, ranked behind Li Daokong and Li Xuan'ao."

"Ah?"

Jiang Yi's smiling face instantly collapsed. But upon second thought, letting him rank ahead of Li Daokong wouldn't sound good either, as he was no match for Li Daokong at all.

Just like that, Jiang Yi became the Third Protector.

He spread the news around, acting extremely smug.

No matter how one looked at it, Third Protector sounded much more impressive than the fourth Disciple!

At this, the Hidden Sect Disciples were filled with envy and jealousy. Protector simply sounded much more formidable than Disciple.

After Li Daokong, Li Xuan'ao, and Jiang Yi became Protectors, the entire Hidden Sect felt much more cohesive.

The Hidden Sect had been far too loose in the past. Over these years, Han Jue had gradually defined the identities of those with ambiguous statuses, seemingly sending out a signal.

The Hidden Sect was going to get serious!

Without rules, nothing can be accomplished!

After the Human Race was moved away, the Hundred Peaks Immortal River returned to peace. Having witnessed Han Jue's mighty power, the Disciples Cultivated even harder; they yearned so much for those great abilities that could reverse the stars and move mountains and seas.

Time flew by in a flash.

Another thousand years passed.

Han Jue's cultivation grew significantly once more, coming closer and closer to Perfected Quasi-Saint.

What he aimed for was not Perfected Quasi-Saint, but the Saint Realm!

The Saint Realm was merely the starting point!

On this day.

The earth-shaking tremors arrived once again. It was not a natural phenomenon, but rather powerful figures fighting in the distance with massive momentum.

Han Jue opened his eyes to look and discovered that two Daluos were battling. One of them was a Buddha, while the other carried the aura of a god, though it wasn't entirely similar to the aura of immortals and gods. He guessed it should be the Celestial Race.

The battle between the Buddha and the Celestials was immensely fierce, with both sides wanting to annihilate each other.

Han Jue took a glance and lost interest.

A pecking order of noobs.

However, judging from this matter, the Buddhist Sect had begun confronting the Celestial Race, presumably to vie for the position of Heavenly Dao Saint.

As long as it didn't threaten Han Jue, it was fine.

[Great Emperor Xiao wants to send you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

Great Emperor Xiao?

A Saint of the Demon Race?

Han Jue didn't want to get involved and decided to ignore it.

Several days later, Great Emperor Xiao sent a Dream Message to Han Jue once again, and Han Jue continued to ignore it.

Repeating in a cycle, five months passed, and Great Emperor Xiao had sent Dream Messages seven times.

The Daluo battle in the distance finally ended. Both sides suffered mutual injuries, and neither died—essentially fighting to no avail.

[Great Emperor Xiao wants to send you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

Here it comes again!

Han Jue frowned and silently asked, "Is there any danger in accepting the Dream Message?"

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

Continue!

[Not for the moment]

Han Jue chose to accept the Dream Message.

Within the dreamscape, Han Jue met Great Emperor Xiao. This place resembled Chaos, with gray, hazy mist churning endlessly. Great Emperor Xiao wore a black robe, looking somewhat like the Dark Forbidden Lord.

Han Jue asked vigilantly, "Dark Forbidden Lord?"

Great Emperor Xiao frowned and said, "What Dark Forbidden Lord? I am a Saint. Sending a Dream Message to you is because of an urgent matter!"

Han Jue saluted in panic, cupping his fists as he said, "Greetings, Saint."

"Has any Saint approached you, wanting you to compete for the position of Heavenly Dao Saint?"

"Yes!"

"They are all fake. Empress Nuwa's Primordial Purple Qi is nowhere to be found, and the Saints want to support a pseudo-Saint by dividing their own Saint Luck among candidates to help them outwardly achieve sainthood, while actually intending to use their hands to unleash the Dao Annihilation Divine Ability."

Great Emperor Xiao began explaining to Han Jue what the Dao Annihilation Divine Ability was.

The more Han Jue listened, the deeper his brows furrowed.

The Saints were truly ruthless!

They actually still wanted to unleash the Dao Annihilation Divine Ability!

It turned out that during the previous tribulation, apart from the Celestial Race, other Fortune Sects had suffered heavy losses. When Su Qi unleashed the Dao Annihilation Divine Ability, their Disciples had not evacuated and remained in the Immortal Realm, resulting in the fall of the majority of their Disciples.

After the calamity ended, the Daoist Sect Saints had been secretly bottling up their breath, all plotting to retaliate.

Han Jue found it strange. Shouldn't the Saints retaliate against the Sage of Destiny?

Great Emperor Xiao said, "You are the variable designated by the Dao Ancestor. If the Heavenly Dao faces a crisis, we might have to rely on you to turn the tables."

Han Jue said in a panic, "I don't have such an ability."

Great Emperor Xiao said impatiently, "I have already said what needs to be said. That's all for now."

He waved his hand, and the dreamscape shattered along with it.

Han Jue's consciousness returned to his Physical Body.

"Is Great Emperor Xiao deceiving me?"

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

Continue!

[No]

Huh?

Han Jue was stunned.

A Saint of the Demon Race was stopping the Daoist Sect Saints from destroying the world?

Was this script given in reverse?

Wait!

The Dao Ancestor hadn't wiped out the Demon Race and even allowed the Demon Race to become Saints. Could there be some hidden story behind this?

From Han Jue's perspective, Heavenly Dao Saints were not necessarily all good. Each of them fought for their own interests and schemed against the heavens and myriad realms. From this point of view, they weren't necessarily any more noble or kind than Great Emperor Xiao.

The update is late, wuwuwu, consider this yesterday's update
