Chapter 639: The Heavenly Dao Era, Am I the Dark Forbidden Master?

“The Sect of Humanity still hasn't forgotten its roots.”

Han Jue, who was observing the Immortal Realm, remarked with a sigh. Every thousand years after emerging from Seclusion, he would check on the Immortal Realm.

Li Daokong’s care for the Human Race made him feel relieved.

However, what truly satisfied him was the actions of the Sages, who were all trying every means possible to enhance the power of the Heavenly Dao.

At this time, the Sages no longer cared about sectarian conflicts, giving Sermons to all beings without forcing them to join a sect.

With them managing the Heavenly Dao and promoting its growth, Han Jue could Cultivate in peace without worry.

Han Jue's gaze fell upon Han Yu.

Han Yu was the executor of Li Daokong's efforts to help the Human Race. His status in the Human Race was now second only to the Human Emperor, and even the Human Emperor treated him with courtesy.

Han Yu, who had been traveling the world alone, finally settled down and married and had children within the Human Race.

Han Jue didn't care about Han Yu's children. The generational gap was too vast. The only reason he paid attention to Han Yu was that Han Yu resembled him.

To be honest, he didn't have much affection for Han Yu.

It was worth mentioning that Long Hao had actually befriended Han Yu, likely also due to Han Yu's appearance.

“Why isn't this brat taking control of the Dragon Clan? What is he doing there?”

Han Jue muttered to himself. He had no intention of warning Long Hao. If Long Hao went against his will in the future, he could just expel him from the sect.

In any case, the Evil Heavenly Emperor wasn't particularly concerned about this youngest son either.

Han Jue closed his eyes again and entered Cultivation… Time flew by quickly in the Immortal Realm, which had fallen into peace.

Ten thousand years passed like a dream.

Han Jue was finally approaching the Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Freedom Primal Chaos Realm.

He was truly unaccustomed to not having a Breakthrough for nearly thirty thousand years.

His Aptitude was still lacking.

Han Jue sighed inwardly.

Of course, he was just complaining out of boredom.

His speed of Breakthrough was enough to make the deceased Pangu resurrect out of anger.

Han Jue opened his mail to check. The Immortal Realm was so peaceful that he almost relaxed, so he needed to check his friend circle to calm his nerves.

[Your friend Evil Heavenly Emperor encountered an attack from a mysterious Dao Demon] x8920312

[Your son Han Tuo encountered an attack from Inauspicious Evil Spirits] x444032

[Your disciple Zhou Fan received Sermons in a dream from your enemy, Seven Dao Sages; his Dao Cultivation greatly increased]

[Your friend Shi Duxiao encountered an attack from your friend Li Daokong] x3

[Your disciple Su Qi absorbed Reincarnation Luck and stepped into the Quasi-Saint Realm]

[Your friend Venerable Xuandu encountered a mysterious curse]

[Your friend Ancestor Xitian achieved an Epiphany of the Great Dao, creating a new world]

…The last time he checked his mail was two thousand years ago. During this period, the Guixu Divine Realm remained very lively.

The fact that Venerable Xuandu encountered a curse caught Han Jue's attention.

He hoped the curse wasn't coming from within the Heavenly Dao.

Looking further down, Ancestor Xitian created a new world.

Han Jue frowned.

Ancestor Xitian's stance might change after creating a new world, just like Li Muyi before him, who began to prioritize his own Heavenly Dao.

However, Ancestor Xitian had not yet returned, so he would not affect the Heavenly Dao for the time being.

Ancestor Xitian was considered the most powerful existence within the Heavenly Dao. Beings of the same Realm as him could not enter the Heavenly Dao, but Ancestor Xitian had resided Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven for many years, essentially functioning as a Heavenly Dao Sage.

Continuing to scroll down, various Opportunities and Breakthroughs were dazzling.

The mail clearly showed that the Immortal Realm was entering an era of blooming prosperity, ushering in the most brilliant age in its history.

In previous peaceful eras, Sages did not appear; in previous eras where Sages did appear, Great Calamities descended.

A great power of the Sect of Explanation proclaimed this the Heavenly Dao Era, an era in which all beings focus on the development of the Heavenly Dao, signifying that the goal of the Heavenly Dao's inhabitants had shifted from internal strife to expanding the Heavenly Dao.

In the Heavenly Dao Era, Sages held great weight, but under the intentional guidance of the other Sages, the Boundless Merit Divine Might Heavenly Sage was elevated by all beings. Statues of the Boundless Merit Divine Might Heavenly Sage were erected throughout the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, bringing Han Jue immense faith, which converted into Luck.

Han Jue did not absorb this Luck; instead, he suppressed it within the Hongmeng Realm, saving it for future use.

He did not want to undergo Fusion with the Heavenly Dao.

If the Heavenly Dao truly couldn't withstand the assault one day and was destroyed, Han Jue would definitely flee.

After reading the mail, Han Jue began to deduce who was cursing Venerable Xuandu.

[Requires deducting 160 billion years of lifespan. Continue?]

That much!

It must be a Great Dao Sage!

Continue!

A figure appeared in Han Jue's mind, and the following text appeared before his eyes:

[Zhunti: Great Dao Sage, Immeasurable Great Emperor, Founder of the Buddhist Sect. Because you severed the Karma between him and Qiu Xilai, he harbors hatred toward you. Current hatred degree is 6 stars]

This fellow!

Han Jue raised an eyebrow. He was just about to make an example of Zhunti.

After the Chaos God faked his death, the Guixu Divine Realm was in Chaos and temporarily stopped harassing the Heavenly Dao, which is why Han Jue hadn't continued cursing. But since Zhunti chose this time to act against Venerable Xuandu, he must be suppressed.

He could even use this to Divert Disaster Eastward, making Zhunti mistakenly believe that the Dark Forbidden Master was Laozi of the Sect of Humanity.

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

He wasn't afraid of causing trouble for Laozi, as Laozi was the Dao Ancestor's first Personal Disciple, and his strength was unfathomable.

Han Jue took out the book of misfortune and began cursing Zhunti.

Five days later, his lifespan rapidly decreased, though compared to his overall lifespan, the rate of decline was like a crawling turtle… In the Guixu Divine Realm, at Thunder Sound Temple.

Zhunti found Jieyin and said in a heavy voice, “The Dark Forbidden Master is cursing me again!”

Jieyin frowned and instructed him to sit down and circulate his energy.

“Is he testing you, or is he aiming for a killing blow?” Jieyin asked.

The Dark Forbidden Master had the power to curse the Chaos God to death. If he cursed with deadly intent, Zhunti would surely suffer.

It was precisely because the Dark Forbidden Master was too powerful that Jieyin believed the Dark Forbidden Master did not originate from the Heavenly Dao but from the depths of Chaos. He warned Zhunti not to provoke the Dark Forbidden Master again.

“I don't know…” Zhunti said with a gloomy expression.

He appeared angry, but his heart was filled with panic.

If even the Chaos God couldn't withstand it, how could he?

Jieyin asked, “Why is he cursing you suddenly? Did you do something?”

Facing Jieyin, Zhunti did not conceal anything.

Upon learning the reason, Jieyin cursed, “Why did you curse Venerable Xuandu? Leaving aside the Dark Forbidden Master, is Laozi someone you can afford to provoke? Although Laozi has always been in Seclusion, Venerable Xuandu is his only Personal Disciple, and he will certainly protect his own.”

Zhunti felt extremely wronged. He gritted his teeth and said, “Could the Dark Forbidden Master be Laozi? The reason I previously suspected Han Jue was because Han Jue was disrupting our plans, but Venerable Xuandu's betrayal proves that the Sect of Humanity is suspicious. Venerable Xuandu befriended Han Jue as soon as he arrived in the Heavenly Dao, and I even suspect that Han Jue is supported by the Sect of Humanity! The New Sages of the Sect of Humanity in the Heavenly Dao have also defected to Han Jue, and Venerable Xuandu doesn't mind at all!”

Jieyin said faintly, “What difference does it make whether he is or isn't? Don't you understand yet? The point is not who the Dark Forbidden Master is, but that the Dark Forbidden Master can kill us.”

Zhunti fell silent.

Jieyin sighed and said, “Since leaving the Heavenly Dao, your Dao Heart has inflated, and you have lost the vigilance you once held, like walking on thin ice.”

Zhunti said unwillingly, “What should I do now? He is still cursing me!”

Jieyin stood up and said, “I will go find Laozi. If he truly intends to curse you to death, I won't be able to help you.”
