Chapter 661: The E Clan’s Scheme

Inside the spacious and tranquil great hall, the Peacock Divine Lord frowned, looking around.

His pupils reflected a strange light, and in his vision, everything that had happened previously in this palace was constantly playing in reverse before his eyes.

Soon, he saw the scene of Han Jue capturing Great Emperor Tian'e.

His brows furrowed deeply.

Too fast!

The opponent’s speed was not inferior to his!

He could also directly seize the Great Emperor Tian'e, but he would have to use his full strength to do so.

The Peacock Divine Lord did not linger and vanished from the spot… Sometime later, the E Clan finally discovered that the Great Emperor Tian'e was missing, but the high-ranking officials kept the news contained. The E Clan could not retreat now, especially since they had occupied the Underworld, making retreat unnecessary.

The E Clan controlled the news, but they could not hide it from The Saints.

Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven, in the Qiankun Hall.

The Saints gathered.

Venerable Xuandu said, “The disappearance of the E Clan Chief, Great Emperor Tian'e, is something we must guard against.”

Fang Liang frowned and said, “The Peacock Divine Lord is still here, and the E Clan has not fallen into chaos. Did Great Emperor Tian'e perhaps go to seek reinforcements?”

Qiu Xilai shook his head and said, “The E Clan already holds the upper hand. Why would they look for helpers? The E Clan wants to dominate the Immortal Realm.”

The other Saints also began to discuss.

Venerable Xuandu felt a headache coming on from listening.

The E Clan is truly too strong, and with Free and Unfettered Saints holding down the fort outside, The Saints can only worry anxiously Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven.

Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven is the highest level of the Heavenly Dao, a space exclusively for The Saints to reside. Here, they can still enjoy the Heavenly Dao's protection. Since The Saints fear the Peacock Divine Lord, they can only cower here, which is extremely frustrating.

“Let’s wait and see. At least the situation is stable,” Venerable Xuandu said.

Qiu Xilai said, “This war has certainly spurred many Prodigies. A new generation of Cultivators is gradually stepping onto the stage. The Heavenly Dao will surely flourish in the future.”

The other Saints nodded in agreement. Although the Heavenly Dao suffered heavy casualties, countless powerful experts also emerged.

This is also the reason why they are not anxious.

Shi Duxiao snorted, “I’m just afraid we won’t survive to see that future. The E Clan clearly has the ability to invade the Mortal World, yet they haven’t attacked. There is clearly a major conspiracy, and we don’t even know what they are planning.”

The Qiankun Hall fell into silence once again.

Venerable Xuandu was also wondering, what exactly did the E Clan want to do?

…Enslaving an existence close to a Free and Unfettered Saint takes an extremely long time.

A thousand years passed, yet the enslavement was still unsuccessful.

During this time, Han Jue didn't dare to Cultivate, fearing that the Great Emperor Tian'e would find an opportunity to attack.

Although there was a large gap in cultivation between the two, he had to be cautious.

The reason he reached this point today was entirely due to his carefulness and caution!

Han Jue patiently waited while observing the situation in the Underworld.

After the Great Emperor Tian'e disappeared, the E Clan continued as before, building nothing in the Underworld and constantly trying to control Reincarnation.

Although there was a continuous stream of heavenly dao beings coming to stop them, the E Clan could not be stopped in the grand scheme of things.

During this time, the Heavenly Dao saw the emergence of many Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and even Quasi-Saints.

Dao Supreme was not the most glorious Quasi-Saint; there were several others whose achievements were even more impressive than Dao Supreme's, including Han Jue's acquaintances such as the Divine Might Buddha Ancestor of the Buddhist Sect, the Leader of the Jie Sect Huang Zuntian, and Lord Jingtian of the Divine Palace.

The Peacock Divine Lord also remained inactive.

Compared to the Early Stages of the war, the recent period has been much quieter.

Han Jue was secretly pleased.

Wait until I have enslaved the E Clan, then I’ll give you all a surprise!

The E Clan is reputed to be the strongest race in the Guixu Divine Realm. It would be a shame to destroy them; it would be better to take them in and let them become the Heavenly Dao’s Guardians.

Han Jue had witnessed the war over these years and saw that the E Clan’s combat talent was indeed formidable, with an average level higher than that of heavenly dao beings.

Moreover, after he captured the Great Emperor Tian'e, it did not trigger any hatred notifications from powerful entities.

This meant that the Great Emperor Tian'e did not carry any methods of a stronger powerful entity; otherwise, like Qiu Xilai, Zhunti would have directly hated Han Jue.

Han Jue had already planned how to arrange the E Clan.

Just waiting for the enslavement to succeed!

…In the Immortal Realm, a County Town of the Human Race.

On the mountainside, a messy-haired Youth in Coarse Clothes faced the blazing sun, absorbing the Eastern Purple Qi, his robes continuously billowing.

The Youth in Coarse Clothes suddenly opened his eyes. His ordinary features suddenly appeared ferocious, and Black Scales faintly appeared on his cheeks.

A voice entered his ears:

“Your Highness, what are you still waiting for? Are you going to let down Your Majesty’s expectations?”

The Youth in Coarse Clothes’ expression returned to normal, and he said, “I don’t want to join a Saint’s Sect. My Aptitude is sufficient for me to grow.”

“No! You must join. This is Your Majesty’s command!”

“I don’t want to flatter others. Why won’t you give me time? I can reach the peak of Cultivation on my own!”

The mysterious voice fell silent.

The Youth in Coarse Clothes closed his eyes and continued to Cultivate.

“Are you truly unwilling?”

“Yes, I want to rely on myself. Don’t worry, I won’t forget my Clan.”

“Hehe.”

…Another four hundred years passed.

[Hongmeng Heavenly Prison enslavement successful]

[Great Emperor Tian'e has developed a favorable impression of you, current favorability is max star]

Han Jue looked at the two lines of text that finally appeared before him and let out a long breath.

He opened his interpersonal relationships to check the avatar of the Great Emperor Tian'e.

[Great Emperor Tian'e: Perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal, E Clan Chief, Immeasurable Great Emperor, Innate Being, favorability toward you is max star]

This Realm, just one step further up, is the Zizai Realm!

Han Jue looked at the Great Emperor Tian'e and suddenly thought this woman looked quite good.

The Great Emperor Tian'e opened her eyes, then respectfully knelt before Han Jue and called him Master.

Han Jue asked, “Whose orders were you following before?”

Great Emperor Tian'e said, “I wasn’t following anyone’s orders; I merely had an agreement with the Great Dao Sages.”

“Why didn’t you attack the Mortal World?”

“I feared unexpected outcomes. After all, the Yan Clan perished here. I sent my son to utilize Reincarnation and be reborn as a Heavenly Dao being. Once the E Clan occupies the Underworld, I would negotiate with The Saints to elevate my son to a Saint, allowing the E Clan to firmly establish itself within the Heavenly Dao, until we alone control the Heavenly Dao.”

Han Jue was somewhat surprised that the Great Emperor Tian'e harbored such selfish intentions.

“Didn’t you want to destroy the Heavenly Dao?”

“That is merely what the Great Dao Sages desire. Destroying the Heavenly Dao offers no benefit to the E Clan, and I do not wish to be a pawn for the Great Dao Sages. If I can control the Heavenly Dao alone, I will gain the qualifications to contend with the Great Dao Sages. The Primordial Heavenly Venerate said he would give me the chance to achieve the Great Dao, but I don't believe it. They are too arrogant; everything is just empty talk.”

When the Great Emperor Tian'e spoke of this, her face showed disdain.

It must be said that from the perspective of the Great Emperor Tian'e, this plan was well executed.

Unfortunately, she met Han Jue.

Han Jue instructed, “Go talk to Venerable Xuandu. Partition the Underworld in half, and the E Clan will settle there. As for the authority over Reincarnation, we can discuss that later.”

The Great Emperor Tian'e immediately agreed.

Han Jue waved his hand and sent her Outside the Heavenly Dao.

The Great Emperor Tian'e immediately sent a Voice Transmission to Venerable Xuandu. She could not enter the Heavenly Dao, so she could only use Voice Transmission.

Hearing that the Great Emperor Tian'e wanted to negotiate peace, Venerable Xuandu was instinctively wary.

The E Clan was in such a favorable position; why would they negotiate?

The Great Emperor Tian'e returned to her palace, waiting for Venerable Xuandu’s reply.

Just as she entered the hall, a light projection appeared in front of the Great Emperor Tian'e. It was an Old Daoist Priest with a dignified appearance.
