Chapter 580: Instantly Killing Venerable Xuandu, Spreading the Dao Across the Heavens

"What Divine Ability?"

Han Jue asked. To be able to severely injure Qiu Xilai without causing a commotion, this Divine Ability had some substance to it.

What a good method for a sneak attack!

He must figure it out!

Qiu Xilai replied, "I am also unsure. This Divine Ability is similar to a Dream Message, yet not quite. It will drag me into another space and attack me, and all the damage I suffer will be completely transmitted to my Physical Body and Soul."

Han Jue raised an eyebrow and asked, "In that space, can you resist?"

"Yes, but there will be some restrictions."

"Did Venerable Xuandu say anything to you?"

"Not really. He seemed unwilling to provoke you and never mentioned you."

"Mn. If there is any situation, report to me at any time."

"Understood."

Han Jue ended the dreamscape.

He opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.

Hesitating for a moment, he suddenly leaped out of the Hundred Peaks Immortal River, arriving Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven, before Li Muyi's Dao field. He quickly used the Simulation Trial to copy Venerable Xuandu's cultivation.

"What brings Fellow Daoist here?"

Venerable Xuandu's voice drifted out, his tone calm.

Han Jue left behind a sentence and disappeared, "Just passing by, I won't disturb Senior's practicing."

Venerable Xuandu had originally been very vigilant, but Han Jue calling him Senior relaxed his expression somewhat.

He had never liked Li Muyi's hypocrisy to begin with. After understanding the process of events, he felt even more that Li Muyi had brought this upon himself. However, since Han Jue dealt with the Human Sect, he subconsciously treated him as an enemy. Now it seemed Han Jue might not necessarily be an enemy.

Was this fellow really just passing by?

Impossible!

"Could it be that he came to probe my cultivation, discovered he couldn't defeat me, and thus retreated?"

Venerable Xuandu thought with a frown. This possibility was very high.

He hoped this fellow knew what was good for him. Venerable Xuandu had never wanted to come to the Heavenly Dao in the first place; he wanted to spend more time on his cultivation.

On the other side,

Han Jue returned to the Taoist temple and began the Simulation Trial, fighting Venerable Xuandu one-on-one.

A full ten breaths of time passed before he finally slew Venerable Xuandu.

Han Jue frowned.

This fellow's Divine Ability was truly extraordinary!

It could actually strip away Han Jue's consciousness and drag it into another space. Fortunately, Han Jue used the power of the Shattering Fiendcelestial to directly shatter that mysterious space, then wielded the sky-opening axe to kill Venerable Xuandu in a single strike.

No!

Ten breaths were too long!

If Venerable Xuandu had helpers, Han Jue's true body might be slain.

Han Jue continued the Simulation Trial, searching for a way to instantly kill Venerable Xuandu.

As expected of a Heavenly Dao Saint at Perfection cultivation, Venerable Xuandu was indeed powerful. Han Jue even suspected that his Realm had been suppressed, just like Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate, who was inherently a Free and Unfettered Saint and had suppressed his cultivation to that of a Heavenly Dao Saint in order to enter the Heavenly Dao.

Regardless, Venerable Xuandu was currently a Heavenly Dao Saint!

After seven Simulation Trials, Han Jue found a method.

At the start, he used the Dharma Idol Fusion Art to fuse the Guardian Fiendcelestial and Barrier Fiendcelestial, directly isolating Venerable Xuandu's mysterious Divine Ability, and then instantly killed Venerable Xuandu.

As a Saint, one could do many things in a split second.

Having found a way to instantly kill Venerable Xuandu, Han Jue felt refreshed, his entire body relaxing.

He had no plans to deal with Venerable Xuandu, as long as this fellow didn't provoke him.

Slaying Venerable Xuandu would inevitably attract even more powerful existences, and sooner or later, terrifying mighty figures would be drawn over.

Han Jue certainly didn't want to kill enemies to level up; it was too tiring.

Han Jue was about to Cultivate.

Han Duotian came to visit.

He had already figured out Han Jue's seclusion pattern; most of the time, a seclusion ended every thousand years.

Han Jue let him enter the temple. Just like before, he came to report on living beings whose Aptitude had reached their limit. This time, there were eight thousand Immortal Emperors whose cultivation could no longer grow.

Reaching the Emperor Realm within tens of thousands of years seemed like extraordinary Aptitude, but one had to consider the Spiritual Qi of the Dao field and Han Jue's occasional sermons.

"Grandmaster, should we still let them support the Heavenly Clan this time?" Han Duotian asked.

Han Jue asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Since this kid was asking, he must have other intentions.

Han Duotian said, "I learned from the myriad worlds projection that the Heavenly Clan already dominates the Immortal Realm and no longer needs the support of the Hidden Sect. If we continue to help the Heavenly Clan grow stronger, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing. If the Heavenly Clan becomes too powerful, they will encounter joint resistance from other factions. Furthermore, the interior of the Heavenly Clan might inflate, and the Named Disciples we sent out might even change their minds."

Han Jue was amused.

This kid had always stayed in the Hidden Sect, yet he could gain insight into human nature. Could it be a talent?

"Then what do you think?"

"Just like the first batch of Named Disciples, we send them out to lurk in various Realms. In addition, we can select leaders and pull them into the myriad worlds projection to facilitate communication and intelligence sharing at any time."

"Mn, you arrange it."

"Thank you, Grandmaster!"

Han Duotian was pleasantly surprised and quickly bowed in gratitude.

A single sentence from Han Jue was equivalent to elevating his status. Compared to other Disciples who only knew how to bitterly Cultivate, being able to do things for Han Jue naturally gave him more confidence.

Several days later,

The eight thousand Immortal Emperors selected eight leaders respectively, who then became Disciples under the Personal Disciples, officially becoming Personal Disciples of the Hidden Sect. Han Jue then pulled them into the myriad worlds projection, and afterwards split them into eight batches, sending them to different Realms via the fusang tree.

Thus, the Hidden Sect already had nine branches outside the Heavenly Dao.

The earliest batch of Immortal Emperors who went out had already taken root, even becoming major sects dominating a region with flourishing Luck.

The fusang tree had also recently connected to some Mortal Realms, but Han Jue felt that the Mortal Realms had no meaning to conquer.

The Realms outside the Heavenly Dao were sometimes created by Saints, Quasi-Saints, and Grand Unity Golden Immortals. The strength of a Realm was related to the creator's cultivation, and some Realms evolved naturally, but they were far inferior to the Heavenly Dao.

Up until now, Han Jue still didn't know how many Realms were hidden outside the Heavenly Dao.

Understanding more was always good.

After arranging all this, Han Jue once again began seclusion to Cultivate.

Reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm Perfection before one hundred thousand years old!

After that, he could look forward to the Free and Unfettered Saint Realm!

…

Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven, Taiji Palace.

Unlike other Saints' Dao fields, Taiji Palace was surrounded by thick fog, appearing and disappearing vaguely, making it extremely mysterious.

Inside the palace,

Ancestor Xitian, Seven Dao Saint, Jade Bodhi, and Di Jun gathered once again.

Di Jun said teasingly, "I have accepted your Dao Nirvana. Who knows, my subordinates might gain a few more Saints who Attain the Dao through Strength."

Seven Dao Saint snorted, "This brat Han Jue is indeed not simple. I suspect there is a mighty figure supporting him from behind."

Ancestor Xitian shook his head.

"As long as he isn't a Primordial Chaos Demon God, it's fine," Jade Bodhi said with a chuckle.

Seven Dao Saint retorted, "How do you know he isn't?"

Jade Bodhi said, "The Primordial Chaos Demon God will bring disaster to Chaos. Dao Ancestor once deduced that the Primordial Chaos Demon God will rise by stepping on Chaotic Fiendcelestials. Han Jue has always been in seclusion, and every time he makes a move, he is forced to do so. How does he look like a Primordial Chaos Demon God? I feel he is more like a Chaotic Fiendcelestial. Didn't Fellow Daoist Xitian say before that he can display the Dharma Idol of a Chaotic Fiendcelestial?"

Seven Dao Saint fell silent.

Ancestor Xitian spoke, "Recently, those fellows in the Dark Forbidden Zone have been restless. You all should move around less normally and protect the Guixu Divine Realm well. Jade Bodhi, you must pay more attention to the monitoring of the Dark Forbidden Zone. Don't always fixate on the Immortal Realm and the Guixu Divine Realm. Buddhism is already powerful enough; there's no need to scheme anymore."
