Chapter 653: Merit to the Heavenly Dao, Mysterious Senior

Hearing Han Ming's reply, Han Jue was speechless.

"Must you force me to confess? Can't you leave me some Face?"

Han Jue fell silent. Han Ming also fell silent.

After calming down, Han Ming realized that what he had just said was problematic; Han Jue could not have sought him out for no reason.

Han Ming asked again, "Are you still there?"

"Mm."

"Fine, I am willing to join the Hidden Sect."

"Then pack up."

"Alright."

An incense stick of time later, Han Ming set off, heading toward the Hundred Peaks Immortal River.

Han Jue adjusted his state of mind and quickly entered into Cultivation again.

Several years later, Han Ming arrived at the Hundred Peaks Immortal River and was directly taken into the Daoist temple by Han Jue. He did not let Han Ming go out, but instead had him Cultivate inside the Daoist temple.

Han Ming sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, glancing cautiously at Han Jue.

Han Jue, whose entire body shone with divine light, made it impossible for him to glimpse his true form; this was the first time he had felt such pressure.

Han Ming took a deep breath.

He had once fantasized about Cultivating beside Han Jue, but knowing Han Jue's cold and indifferent nature, it could only be a delusion. Now that it had become reality, he actually felt a sense of unreality.

Han Ming mocked himself in his heart, "What am I thinking?"

He stopped overthinking and began to Cultivate with focus.

Han Jue did not say a word to him; perhaps he just wanted to see his attitude toward Cultivation and his Aptitude. He certainly could not lose Face!

Little did he know, the reason Han Jue ignored him was to complete his quota of one thousand years of secluded Cultivation; his Cultivation could not be interrupted.

…

Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven, the various Saints gathered in the Qiankun Hall.

Venerable Xuandu had already returned. He scanned the various Saints and said, "I have joined forces with Fellow Daoist Han to obtain the Earth Immortal Realm. Next, I intend to merge the Earth Immortal Realm into the Heavenly Dao and establish a space-time channel between the two realms to connect them."

The Earth Immortal Realm!

The Saints looked at each other in dismay. They had all heard of this realm. In the past, the Earth Immortal Realm was considered a part of the Immortal Realm. Like the Ancient Desolation, after experiencing the great battle of the Saints, the primordial world shattered and split into many pieces. Now, only the Immortal Realm remained within the Heavenly Dao.

Qiu Xilai said, "Mm, if you need us to do anything, just give the order."

The other Saints had no objections, feeling that this matter was not too significant.

Great Emperor Xiao spoke up, "Recently, a mysterious coffin appeared outside the Underworld. Its aura is unfathomable, and I dare not approach it. It must be decided by the Venerable Saint."

"Oh?"

Venerable Xuandu could not help but turn his gaze toward the outside of the Underworld.

After a good while, he finally saw the coffin of the Primal Chaos. He could not help but frown.

He immediately vanished from where he was. The other Saints followed closely behind.

The Saints arrived together in front of the Primal Chaos's coffin. Fang Liang stared at this coffin, his brows tightly furrowed.

The stone tablet in front of the coffin was motionless, yet it made the Saints feel an inexplicable trepidation.

"What is this?"

"When did it appear? Great Emperor Xiao, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I only discovered it recently, and besides, without the Venerable Saint, would you dare to come and investigate? In any case, I dare not."

"Why was this thing not discovered before?"

"Could it be that this was what attacked Empress Houtu previously?"

The Saints exchanged whispers. Venerable Xuandu sent a voice transmission to Empress Houtu. Soon, Empress Houtu appeared there.

"Was it this thing that injured you?" Venerable Xuandu asked, pointing at the coffin of the Primal Chaos.

Empress Houtu shook her head and said, "No, the aura is completely different. What is this thing? Who is hidden in the coffin?"

Venerable Xuandu said, "We are not sure either."

South Pole Heavenly Venerate raised an eyebrow and said, "Should we find a way to suppress it?"

Venerable Xuandu shook his head. He stared carefully at the coffin of the Primal Chaos, falling into deep thought.

Just at this moment, the stone tablet shook violently, startling all the Saints into alertness. They all brought out their respective supreme treasures, standing ready for battle.

They saw streaks of blood appearing on the surface of the stone tablet, writing out characters that looked like long worms coiled upon it, oozing blood. Soon, a line of text appeared, obscure and difficult to understand.

The Saints could not understand it.

Fang Liang read, "Born of Chaos, Merit to the Heavenly Dao, Death by Fate, Rebirth in Grandmist."

South Pole Heavenly Venerate asked in surprise, "You can understand it?"

Fang Liang said, "The Dao techniques passed down to me by the Dao Ancestor contain these types of characters; they are characters created by the Chaotic Fiendcelestials."

The Saints were lost in thought. They could not understand it, so they dared not confirm whether Fang Liang was telling the truth.

Li Daokong said, "We should still find a way to eliminate it, or drive it away."

Shi Duxiao nodded and said, "I agree."

Li Daokong glanced at him, a look of disdain appearing on his Face. Shi Duxiao pretended not to see it.

"Merit to the Heavenly Dao…" Venerable Xuandu muttered to himself.

Fang Liang said, "Inside the coffin should be some Chaotic Fiendcelestial. As for this stone tablet, it is likely a supreme treasure. It would be best for us to be careful."

The Saints nodded and continued to discuss how to deal with the Primal Chaos.

…

Han Jue opened his eyes.

He had once again completed a thousand years of secluded Cultivation, his body and mind delighted.

He had begun to treat a thousand years as a single day, progressing every day; this feeling was too satisfying.

Han Jue looked at Han Ming beside him. During the thousand years, Han Ming had also been cultivating bitterly, never speaking a word, very honest.

Not bad!

Han Jue directly took Han Ming and teleported to the Second Dao Field.

Han Ming opened his eyes and discovered that the Daoist temple had changed.

Han Jue said, "In the future, you will Cultivate here. You can go outside and walk around. Including you, there are five people in this Dao field. In the future, listen to Murong Qi."

Murong Qi?

Han Ming silently noted this down.

Han Jue sent a voice transmission to Murong Qi, explaining Han Ming's origins, and then returned to the Hundred Peaks Immortal River.

He stood inside the Daoist temple, stretching his limbs, and took the opportunity to check his mail.

[Your son Han Tuo has invaded a small Heavenly Dao]

[Your friend Evil Heavenly Emperor has been attacked by your enemy Fu Xi Tian and suffered heavy injuries]

[Your friend Lord Jingtian has entered the Dark Forbidden Zone]

[Your disciple Long Hao has absorbed the Dragon Clan's Luck, and his Dao Cultivation has greatly increased]

[Your son Han Tuo has been attacked by small heavenly dao beings] x6720239

[Your friend Ancestor Xitian has entered the Ancient Desolation]

[Your friend Pan Xin has entered the Ancient Desolation]

[Your descendant Han Yu received a Dream Message from your enemy Empress Nuwa, and his Dao Cultivation has greatly increased]

…

Recently, Fu Xi Tian has been quite active; even Empress Nuwa has started to move, and she even sought out Han Yu.

There is definitely a scheme!

Han Jue continued to read down. After he finished reading all the mail, he sent a Dream Message to Han Yu.

Within the dream.

Han Yu opened his eyes and saw Han Jue, whose entire body shone with divine light. He immediately became vigilant.

"What is going on? An illusion?"

Han Yu frowned tightly, as if facing a great enemy.

Han Jue smiled playfully and said, "Little guy, don't you remember me?"

Hearing this, Han Yu widened his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Senior, is it you?"

Although he had already apprenticed under Li Daokong, he could never forget that Mysterious Great Power who had bestowed upon him his Cultivation Technique.

If not for that Great Power, how could he have Cultivated to a level that satisfied Li Daokong?

"So you still remember me; I thought you would have forgotten me after taking a master." Han Jue smiled.

Han Yu quickly cupped his hands and said, "I will never forget Senior's great kindness. Does Senior have any instructions?"

Han Jue said, "Has anyone sent you a Dream Message recently?"

Han Yu frowned.

He could not help but think of Empress Nuwa's earlier Dream Message. Why would it attract this Mysterious Senior?

Empress Nuwa was an existence that transcended Saints, so this Mysterious Senior must not be weak; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have noticed.
