Chapter 645: Pangu’s Killing Intent

Han Jue sensed the celestial phenomena and couldn't help but be surprised. "You, a Heavenly Dao, mourning for an enemy? Are you blaming me for saving you?"

Of course, he was just venting slightly. The Heavenly Dao was a set of rules and lacked the seven emotions and six desires of living beings.

Han Jue suddenly thought of something.

If Dao Undying's fall could trigger a Great Dao phenomenon, why did the powerhouses of the Guixu Divine Realm conclude that the Chaos God and Zhunti were dead when their faked deaths caused no such phenomenon?

Perhaps those powerhouses didn't truly believe that; they just wanted to frame the Dark Forbidden Lord?

That was the only explanation.

Han Jue adjusted his state and began to improve his Sword Dao Divine Ability.

Several months later, he continued to cultivate the Taiyi Zizai Dharma Idol.

However, just as he started, Ancestor Xitian's voice entered his ears: "All Saints, come to Taiji Hall. I have important matters to discuss."

Upon hearing this, Han Jue did not move immediately.

Ancestor Xitian was stronger than him! Furthermore, he could remain active within the range of the Heavenly Dao.

Han Jue was not a Heavenly Dao Sage; if he died within the Heavenly Dao, he would truly be dead and would not be infinitely resurrected by the Heavenly Dao.

"Does Ancestor Xitian have the intention to kill me?"

[Requires deducting 170 billion years of lifespan. Continue?]

The Old Ancestor's price seemed to have increased. Continue!

[Not at the moment.]

Han Jue breathed a sigh of relief. That was fine.

Han Jue teleported out of his Dao field and arrived Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven.

The long-silent Taiji Hall erupted with divine light once again, becoming the most dazzling Dao field Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven.

Han Jue arrived in front of Taiji Hall. The other Saints had already arrived, and even Empress Houtu was there.

Li Daokong sighed with emotion. "Sect Leader, do you remember when we listened to the Dao together in Taiji Hall back in the day?"

The expressions of the Saints were strange. It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it; mentioning it left a bitter taste in their hearts.

They really wanted to forget Han Jue's Aptitude! Compared to Han Jue, they felt so mediocre, like mere Mortals.

Han Jue did not answer. Was Li Daokong trying to stir up trouble for him?

Shi Duxiao stared at Han Jue with curiosity. He was very curious about the Master of the Hidden Gate. For some reason… he inexplicably felt that Han Jue resembled the Dark Forbidden Lord!

At this moment, the doors of Taiji Hall opened, and the Saints walked into the hall. Ancestor Xitian was sitting on a meditation cushion. When the Saints arrived before him, he opened his eyes and waved his right hand. A meditation cushion appeared behind every Saint. The Saints sat down.

South Pole Heavenly Venerate spoke first. "Old Ancestor, you have finally returned. If not for your intervention, I fear the Heavenly Dao would have been in danger!"

The other Saints followed suit with flattery, though there was also a degree of sincerity in it.

Having seen the Flame Race invade the Immortal Realm earlier, they had been extremely nervous. After the Heavenly Dao restarted, the Immortal Realm's foundation was still lacking; while there were many living beings, there were not enough powerful Cultivators.

Ancestor Xitian sighed. "Before I intervened, Dao Undying was already entangled in misfortune. Someone was cursing him."

The Saints were stunned. Sect Master Tianjue narrowed his eyes and said, "The Dark Forbidden Lord!"

Whether in the Heavenly Dao or the Guixu Divine Realm, many people pretended to be the Dark Forbidden Lord to curse their enemies. But only the Dark Forbidden Lord possessed the power of curses capable of harming a Great Dao Sage!

The Saints began to lament. "It's the Dark Forbidden Lord again. It seems the Dark Forbidden Lord supports the Heavenly Dao."

"Who exactly is the Dark Forbidden Lord?"

"I used to think it was Fellow Daoist Han, but now it seems that shouldn't be the case. If Fellow Daoist Han could kill Dao Undying, he would have acted directly earlier."

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Han is still here. Why are you blabbering such truths?"

"Hahaha."

Perhaps having gone through many calamities together, the Saints began to joke with Han Jue, as if their relationship had grown closer.

Han Jue did not answer, only snorted in his heart. Joke all you want, but don't joke about me!

He immediately asked in his heart, "Does Ancestor Xitian have killing intent toward me?"

[Requires deducting 170 billion years of lifespan. Continue?]

Continue!

[Not at the moment.]

Han Jue breathed a secret sigh of relief.

Ancestor Xitian said, "Dao Undying has fallen. I had previously severely injured him, but I did not expect the Dark Forbidden Lord to still not let him go. This is for the best; the Guixu Divine Realm likely won't come to plot against the Heavenly Dao for a short time."

"I have gathered you all because I have something to announce: I am leaving the Heavenly Dao."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Saints widened their eyes in shock and hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.

Ancestor Xitian was their greatest backer. If he left, the Guixu Divine Realm would inevitably become even more rampant.

Although Li Daokong, Shi Duxiao, and Fang Liang did not speak, they also did not wish for Ancestor Xitian to leave.

Before they Attained the Dao, they had known that the true protectors of the Heavenly Dao were not the Saints, but Ancestor Xitian, this close friend of the Dao Ancestor!

Ancestor Xitian continued, "I have discussed with the Great Dao Sages of the Guixu Divine Realm, and we have decided to go together to suppress the Ancient Desolation. For the next period, the Guixu Divine Realm should not come to disturb the Heavenly Dao, but you must not let your guard down. Hidden within the Chaos are many races like the Flame Race. Some were expelled by the Heavenly Dao, and some were conceived when powerful beings created the world. Over the long years, they have already risen."

"Due to the existence of the Immeasurable Calamity, the strength of the Heavenly Dao has always been restricted, causing it to fall behind the Chaos. Why the Dao Ancestor set such rules, I do not know, nor can I speculate."

Upon hearing this, the Saints felt uncomfortable. To be honest, the invasion of the Flame Race had deeply stimulated them. They even began to resent the Dao Ancestor.

Venerable Xuandu asked, "What exactly is hidden in the Ancient Desolation that requires the Great Dao Sages to join forces?"

Ancestor Xitian said, "Pangu's killing intent."

The Saints were stunned.

"Pangu created the world and transformed into all things, but his killing intent was not recorded in legends. Back then, Pangu slaughtered three thousand Chaotic Fiendcelestials to Attain the Dao. His killing intent even began to bewitch Pangu's Dao Heart. He had to strip away his own killing intent and suppress it within the Heavenly Dao. As time passed, more and more Chaotic Fiendcelestials reappeared, resonating with Pangu's killing intent. The Dao Ancestor, who had merged with the Dao, had to suppress Pangu's killing intent in the Ancient Desolation."

"Once this killing intent breaks out, it will surely recreate the scene of the bloodbath in the Chaos from back then."

Ancestor Xitian sighed, and the Saints fell silent.

Han Jue was lost in thought. Could that supreme power be Pangu's killing intent? But after so many years, could Pangu's killing intent continue to grow stronger? Logically speaking, if Pangu had fallen, the surviving Chaotic Fiendcelestials would have long surpassed Pangu after enduring such a long time.

Wait. Could Pangu not be dead?

Han Jue's heart tightened. He felt it was very possible. Thinking normally, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves to create the world? In any case, Han Jue himself would not want to.

After the Heavenly Dao was established, later powerhouses also proved one point: creating the world does not necessarily require sacrificing oneself. For example, Li Muyi and Ancestor Xitian had both created their own small Heavenly Daos.

Ancestor Xitian suddenly looked at Han Jue and asked, "Han Jue, which Chaotic Fiendcelestial are you, exactly?"

The Saints all turned their gazes onto Han Jue.

Han Jue said, "The Heavenly Dipper Demon God."

In any case, the Heavenly Dipper Demon God had already been born.

Ancestor Xitian frowned. The Saints felt balanced in their hearts; Han Jue really was a Chaotic Fiendcelestial, so it was normal that they couldn't compare to him.

"I know the Heavenly Dipper Demon God, he is still alive. How could it be you?" Ancestor Xitian asked again.
