Chapter 538: Unification of the Dao Sect, Han Tuo's Extravagant Hope

Qiu Xilai and Great Emperor Xiao were both injured!

Han Jue raised an eyebrow. This Dao Heavenly Demon is indeed very strong.

He looked up, and the Thirty-Third Heaven was dead silent. The black hole concealing the Dao Heavenly Demon was still there, interwoven with purple lightning, exuding a silent oppression.

Han Jue could sense the aura of the Dao Heavenly Demon. This fellow had not escaped, so how did he manage to injure the Saints?

Divine Thought attack?

Han Jue couldn't figure it out.

Regardless, the Dao Heavenly Demon had not yet entered the Heavenly Dao, so he still had time.

Taking advantage of this period, Han Jue needed to hurry up and grow stronger, striving to instantly kill the Dao Heavenly Demon as soon as possible.

After reading the mail, Han Jue directly closed his eyes and began to Cultivate.

Due to the appearance of the Dao Heavenly Demon, the Thirty-Third Heaven became incomparably silent. The Saints no longer preached the Dao, and no Cultivators came to visit.

This solemn atmosphere quickly spread to the Immortal Realm, and Disciples of the Saint sects began to spread rumors, saying that a crisis of the Heavenly Dao was coming!

Three hundred years later.

The voices of the Saints suddenly resounded across the Immortal Realm.

"I, Antarctic Celestial Venerable, lead the Chan Sect to merge into the Dao Sect, and honor the Saint Qiu Xilai as the Dao Lord!"

"I, Sect Master Tianjue, lead the Jie Sect to merge into the Dao Sect, and honor the Saint Qiu Xilai as the Dao Lord!"

"I, Fu Xi Tian, lead the Human Race to believe in the Dao Sect, and honor the Saint Qiu Xilai as the Dao Lord!"

"I, Great Emperor Xiao, lead the Demon Race and all heavenly demonic Cultivators to merge into the Dao Sect, and honor the Saint Qiu Xilai as the Dao Lord!"

"I, Qiu Xilai, lead Buddhism to merge into the Dao Sect. From this day forth, all Saints belong to the Dao Sect, all fortune of the Heavenly Dao belongs to the Dao Sect, and all living beings shall bear witness!"

Inside the Daoist temple, Han Jue opened his eyes with a peculiar expression.

The Saints are uniting?

And they are taking Qiu Xilai as their leader?

Wait!

Could it be that they want to pour all the fortune of the Heavenly Dao into Qiu Xilai's body and then let Qiu Xilai fight the Dao Heavenly Demon?

The more Han Jue thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

He looked up, and the Daoist field where Qiu Xilai resided was enveloped by a huge light barrier, sacred and magnificent.

Han Jue silently asked, "After Qiu Xilai undergoes Fusion with the fortune of the Heavenly Dao from all Saints, will he be able to slay me?"

[Requires the deduction of ten billion years of lifespan. Do you want to continue?]

Continue!

[There is a certain possibility.]

Han Jue's eyelids twitched wildly. It seemed he could not leave his Daoist field next time, otherwise he might easily capsize in the gutter.

Han Jue adjusted his emotions and continued to Cultivate. As for the Dao Heavenly Demon, he could no longer manage it.

Surpass Qiu Xilai first!

…

Above the boundless ocean, Li Daokong and Shi Duxiao stood facing each other suspended above the clouds.

Shi Duxiao frowned and said, "The Saints have joined forces. Could it be that some terrifying existence is hidden inside that black hole?"

Li Daokong said coldly, "Shi Duxiao, focus on deciding the victor with me."

Hearing this, Shi Duxiao showed an impatient look and said, "You are simply not my match. Why do you keep pestering me? Can't you afford to lose?"

"Hmph, you haven't truly defeated me."

"What counts as truly defeating you? Killing you?"

"I know someone whose strength makes me convinced from the bottom of my heart. Although you are strong, you are not yet strong enough to make me despair."

"Hehe."

Murderous intent flashed in Shi Duxiao's eyes.

The drifting sea of clouds suddenly stopped, and even the waves came to a standstill.

In the distance.

On the beach, Han Ming and Han Tuo watched the battle from afar.

Han Tuo had matured by now, growing up to be exceptionally handsome and graceful, yet his eyes revealed vicissitudes. Dressed in white robes fluttering in the wind, his bearing was striking.

Although Han Ming was handsome, compared to Han Tuo, he was much inferior.

"Who is Senior Li's opponent?" Han Tuo asked.

Han Ming calmly said, "It is an existence far beyond your and my reach. Don't ask too much; Senior Li has not yet agreed to take us as Disciples."

Han Tuo frowned and asked, "Senior Li is so powerful that a single word made the Jie Sect let me go. How did you persuade him to save me? And the Jie Sect—after they captured me, I met a Cultivator surnamed Huang, and afterwards, they treated me with delicious food and fine drinks. Exactly why?"

"Brother Han, you and I both share the surname Han. Are you related to my father? Exactly what kind of person is my father?"

Han Tuo was not stupid. After wandering for so many years, he discovered that what truly allowed him to rise was not his mother's Body Refining method, but his own Aptitude.

The reason why the immortal master failed to detect his Spiritual Root back then was because his Aptitude was too strong, and ordinary immortal Cultivators simply couldn't see through it.

He had once returned to East Guard City to look for his parents, but only saw his mother's tombstone. His father had long since vanished without a trace, and he had asked Cultivators to calculate the Karma; his father had died long ago.

If his father had a great background, he wouldn't have died; either that, or he was murdered by someone.

Every time he thought of this, a surge of anger pent up in Han Tuo's heart.

The moment he thought that his father might have been killed by enemies, that mysterious and violent power within his body became uncontrollable.

From childhood to adulthood, he revered his father the most. If not for his father's guidance, he would have already passed away a hundred years ago.

Han Ming looked straight ahead and said, "We just happen to share the same surname; I don't know your father. Don't overthink it. When I first met you, didn't you even attack me? I even wanted to kill you. As for Senior Li, I just have a bit of affinity with him."

Han Tuo frowned and asked, "Then what about the Jie Sect?"

Han Ming rolled his eyes and said, "How would I know? They probably just wanted you not to suffer right before death. After all, they are a Saint sect; bullying you wouldn't sound good if word got out. If they really harbored goodwill toward you, would they have trapped you in the Jie Sect?"

Hearing this, Han Tuo felt it made sense.

He couldn't help but mock himself.

Sometimes he really had wild fantasies. Could it be that after meeting too many proud sons of heaven, he always expected his ancestors to also be powerful beings?

It was merely an extravagant hope.

Boom—

A terrifying gale suddenly swept across the surface of the sea. Han Tuo and the other's expressions changed drastically, and they successively took out Magic Treasures to resist the wind and waves.

But how could the pressure of a Quasi-Saint be something they could block?

Before the two could react, they were directly blown away, disappearing into the horizon together with the sand and dust all over the sky.

…

Thirty-Third Heaven, Buddhist Daoist field.

Inside the resplendent palace, the Saints gathered.

Sect Master Tianjue asked, "Qiu Xilai, how do you feel?"

The other Saints also looked toward Qiu Xilai.

Qiu Xilai did not maintain his ten-thousand-zhang true form, but instead took the posture of a Mortal. He slowly opened his eyes and said, "Not bad at all. Much stronger than before; I can even drive the power of the Heavenly Dao."

Fu Xi Tian pressed further, "Can you defeat the Dao Heavenly Demon?"

Qiu Xilai's gaze was complex as he said, "Probably not, it's still a bit lacking. The misfortune power of the Dao Heavenly Demon is too strong, and he cannot be slain yet. His power belongs to a higher tier. If I wish to annihilate him, I must also undergo Fusion with the fortune of the Heavenly Dao and the Saint's heart…"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Saints changed.

The reason they united into the Dao Sect was simply to deal with the Dao Heavenly Demon.

But according to what Qiu Xilai said, once Fusion occurred, Qiu Xilai would become the strongest Saint in the future. Even if they separated their Luck, it would not affect Qiu Xilai's Dao Cultivation.

Most crucially, this fellow mastered the Dao Annihilation Divine Ability!

The hall was silent, and the atmosphere turned eerie.

Qiu Xilai took a deep breath and said, "Fellow Daoist, we have spent four kalpas together and have had struggles, but only we remain at the apex of the Heavenly Dao. No matter how we struggle, it is just infighting. Now the Dao Heavenly Demon is coming aggressively; if he is allowed to devour the Heavenly Dao, all of us will die!"

"In this battle, Fellow Daoists must and can only trust me, and I will not let Fellow Daoists down!"
