Chapter 625: The Two Saints of the Hidden Gate

Time passed quickly.

Another thousand years passed.

Han Jue sat on the thirty-sixth grade samsara world-ending black lotus and began checking his mail.

[Your friend Yang Du received guidance from a mysterious Saint, and his Dao Cultivation has increased greatly]

[Your friend Evil Heavenly Emperor was attacked by a Mysterious Great Power and was heavily injured]

[Your Grand-disciple Fang Liang successfully fused with the power of the Heavenly Dao and took control of the power of the Heavenly Dao]

[Your son Han Tuo entered the Dark Forbidden Zone]

[Your friend Shi Duxiao encountered a mysterious curse]

[Your friend Ancestor Xitian encountered a mysterious curse]

[Your friend Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate encountered a mysterious curse]

…Han Jue frowned.

Why did that kid Han Tuo leave the Immortal Realm?

Han Jue calculated with his fingers and couldn't help but sigh.

The reason why this kid left the Immortal Realm was to rescue Yi Tian.

He doesn't even care about his life anymore.

Han Jue didn't want to judge; everyone has someone they value most.

If Han Tuo were caught by a Great Dao Sage, it would be impossible for Han Jue to save him again.

Han Jue had already warned him; if Han Tuo still dared to go out, he would have to be responsible for his own actions.

He continued to read the mail and found that the Saints had all been encountering mysterious curses recently, except for him.

"Why haven't I been cursed?" Han Jue asked in his heart.

[The Dao Field can isolate the Karma of curses]

Han Jue breathed a sigh of relief. So that was it; the Dao Field was truly stable.

"I want to know who is cursing the Saints?" Han Jue continued to ask in his heart.

[160 billion years of lifespan need to be deducted. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue!

Immediately after, many faces appeared in Han Jue's mind.

[Zhunti: Great Dao Sage, Immeasurable Great Emperor, founder of the Buddhist Sect. Because you severed his Karma with Qiu Xilai, he has developed hatred towards you. Current hatred degree: 5 stars]

[Great Emperor Xiao: Middle Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Heavenly Dao Sage, Disciple of the Dao Ancestor, one of the ancestors of the Demon Race. Current favorability: 3 stars]

[Karma Heaven: Great Dao Spirit, transformed from the Karma Great Dao, later controlled by Ancestor Xitian and stripped of its Great Dao Origin, thus hating the Heavenly Dao. Because you stopped the Heavenly Dao destruction plan, it has developed hatred towards you. Current hatred degree: 4 stars]

[Dao Does Not Perish: Transcendent Daoist, Immeasurable Great Emperor, one of the first batch of living beings since the creation of heaven and earth. Because he was expelled by the Heavenly Dao during the Immeasurable Calamity, he is hostile towards the Heavenly Dao. Because you stopped the Heavenly Dao destruction plan, he has developed hatred towards you. Current hatred degree: 2 stars]

…Han Jue was speechless. He didn't expect that there were actually four people impersonating him, all of whom were existences on par with the Great Dao.

This was also a good thing; it showed that these great powers were not completely of one mind.

Han Jue turned his gaze toward Li Daokong beside him.

Li Daokong was about to successfully Attain the Dao. His Physical Body had already become Saint-level, and his Divine Soul was only one step away from complete transformation.

Han Jue was still a bit excited; Li Daokong would be the first Saint he had nurtured!

Seventy-six years later.

A vast heavenly might enveloped the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms!

"I, Li Daokong of the Hidden Gate, today Attain the Dao through strength and achieve the Saint Dao Fruit. I shall protect the Hidden Gate Disciples, take charge of the Hidden Gate's order, and fulfill my duties as a Protector!"

all beings were in an uproar!

Another person had successfully Attained the Dao!

all beings were not unfamiliar with Li Daokong, because he had always occupied the top ranks of the heavenly dao fortune ranking. They just hadn't expected Saints to be born one after another.

The strangest thing was that in the past, Saints would make great vows and swear to the Heavenly Dao, but Li Daokong actually swore to the Hidden Gate… the Hidden Gate surfaced once again.

The various forces of the Immortal Realm were shaken.

That day, Li Daokong went Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven to establish a Dao Field.

The other Saints came one after another to congratulate him.

Shi Duxiao's expression was very unsightly because Li Daokong had been pestering him. He had finally managed to become a Saint, but he didn't expect Li Daokong to catch up again.

Sure enough, the first thing Li Daokong said upon seeing Shi Duxiao was: "Humph, you and I have yet to determine who is superior. We shall continue in the future!"

Shi Duxiao remained silent and did not answer.

South Pole Heavenly Venerate sighed with emotion, "The Hidden Gate has already produced two Saints. Martial Nephew Daokong, from now on, you must also take on the responsibility of protecting the Heavenly Dao."

South Pole Heavenly Venerate, Sect Master Tianjue, Great Emperor Xiao, and Qiu Xilai were no strangers to Li Daokong.

As Li Muyi's eldest Disciple, his talent had once made them incredibly envious. Even today, they still felt that Li Daokong's Aptitude was among the best.

Li Daokong said, "That is only natural. Normally, I will follow the Sect Leader's example and Cultivate in peace. You all need not worry about me acting recklessly."

The Saints nodded, all feeling a sense of relief in their hearts.

They were afraid that Li Daokong, having just Attained the Dao, would want to make drastic changes to the Heavenly Dao's landscape. Fortunately, Li Daokong, like Han Jue, was an ascetic cultivator.

Although the Hidden Gate had infiltrated various major forces, it did not dominate the general trend of the Heavenly Dao. This was one of the reasons why the Saints did not plot against the Hidden Gate.

Of course, the most important reason was that they couldn't win.

"There is only one Heavenly Dao seat left. Only when the nine Saints gather and the fortune of the Heavenly Dao reaches Perfection can we Cultivate with peace of mind," Venerable Xuandu said.

Shi Duxiao asked in surprise, "Aren't there already nine?"

South Pole Heavenly Venerate, Qiu Xilai, Sect Master Tianjue, Great Emperor Xiao, Venerable Xuandu, Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate, Shi Duxiao, Li Daokong, and the Master of the Hidden Gate!

Exactly nine!

Sect Master Tianjue shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Han is not a Heavenly Dao Sage. Although he lives within the Heavenly Dao, he is not constrained by its fortune."

They had also found this strange.

How on earth did Han Jue do it?

Attaining the Dao within the Heavenly Dao, yet not being constrained by it.

Shi Duxiao fell silent, becoming even more curious about the Master of the Hidden Gate.

Han Jue had previously contacted him in the identity of the Dark Forbidden Master, so he did not know the Master of the Hidden Gate.

"In addition, the Dark Forbidden Master has recently set his sights on us. If you are cursed and cannot hold out, you must seek our help. The current Heavenly Dao cannot withstand a replacement of Saints," Venerable Xuandu reminded them.

The Dark Forbidden Master… Shi Duxiao's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "Sorry, I might have to side with the Dark Forbidden Master."

Although his primordial violet qi was not given by the Dark Forbidden Master, the Saint who gave him the primordial violet qi likely didn't have good intentions either.

Compared to hypocritical Saints, he preferred the Dark Forbidden Master.

The Saints chatted for a few more moments and then went their separate ways… Three hundred years later.

"I, the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court and the creator of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Fang Liang, today Attain the Dao and achieve the Saint Dao Fruit. I shall establish the order of the Heavenly Dao, distinguish between Good and Evil, and lead all beings toward the right path!"

Fang Liang's voice suddenly resounded through the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, shocking all beings once again. Another Saint was born!

The Saints were greatly alarmed. They hadn't expected Fang Liang to become the final Heavenly Dao Sage!

Immortal Realm, Santian Sect.

Inside a palace.

A Black-robed man suddenly opened his eyes, his face showing a look of disbelief.

"How is it possible! Shouldn't it be me?"

He was precisely Great Dispersed Heaven!

The Saints had promised to support him in becoming a Saint. He had always thought his position was secure. Becoming a Saint required primordial violet qi; since the Saints were going to give him the final strand of primordial violet qi, he would definitely become a Saint.

As a result… Great Dispersed Heaven's first reaction was that he had been played.

No!

I must demand justice!

Great Dispersed Heaven immediately set off for the Thirty-Third Heaven.

At this time, the Saints were gathered in the Qiankun Hall. Except for Li Daokong and Shi Duxiao, all the older generation of Saints were present.

"What's going on? How did Fang Liang Attain the Dao?" South Pole Heavenly Venerate asked in a deep voice.

The situation had become bizarre.

They had an extra strand of primordial violet qi in their hands!
