Chapter 709: The Unfathomable Fellow Daoist Han

Han Jue's brows were constantly furrowed, his thoughts racing.

The idea he had just now was indeed one way; if his youngest son temporarily discarded his Primordial Chaos Demon God Bloodline, he should be able to be born.

In that case, it would be as if he, the father, were suppressing his son's Aptitude.

Why couldn't it be that he gave up the Primordial Chaos Demon God Bloodline?

This thought flashed through Han Jue's mind, but he quickly discarded it.

That wouldn't do!

His son was a Primordial Chaos Demon God and still had countless years of growth ahead.

As a Primordial Chaos Demon God, he could protect everyone around him right now.

Han Jue was not stupid; he wouldn't make things difficult for himself.

Wait!

Was there any Bloodline more Advanced than the Primordial Chaos Demon God?

Han Jue immediately asked in his heart: "If my Bloodline surpasses the Primordial Chaos Demon God, can my son be born?"

[Requires a deduction of 100 quadrillion years of lifespan. Continue?]

Continue!

[Yes. Chaos merely rejects Grandmist, but currently, no Bloodline more powerful than the Primordial Chaos Demon God has appeared. At least, in the Karma the System has encountered, it has never come across one.]

This line of text contained a massive amount of information.

Could it be that the System had encountered a Primordial Chaos Demon God before?

In other words, the System likely came from an even more ancient era before Chaos.

Han Jue couldn't imagine it.

He didn't ask any more questions. If he kept asking like this, he would never be able to stop. 100 quadrillion years meant nothing to him, but he couldn't afford the cost of a hundred thousand "whys."

Han Jue's gaze returned to Xing Hongxuan.

He would make a decision when Xing Hongxuan could no longer endure her current state and came to find him.

For now, the existence of his youngest son could still help Xing Hongxuan Cultivate, which could be considered a good thing.

Before becoming a person, serving as a cultivation aid wasn't bad either.

Han Jue thought silently.

He suddenly thought of a possibility.

If he stripped his youngest son of his Bloodline, and his youngest son was born amidst the expectations of countless people, only to find that he didn't have peerless Aptitude, plummeting from the strongest talent perceived by the Hidden Gate Disciples to a Mortal—wasn't this just a Xuanhuan novel?

Han Jue found himself looking forward to it a little bit.

Ahem.

Better to wait and see. If he could avoid doing that, he would, otherwise the child would suffer so much grievance.

Han Jue shook his head and chuckled, then slowly closed his eyes.

…

On the edge of the Immortal Realm, a golden avenue extended from the top of a peak in the Immortal Realm deep into the Dark Forbidden Zone, with no end in sight.

This golden avenue was ten thousand zhang wide, magnificent and imposing. Some practitioners could be seen coming and going, and when they passed each other, they would greet one another, quite enthusiastically.

After training in Chaos and returning to the Heavenly Dao, practitioners felt as if they were returning to their hometown, so they became more enthusiastic.

It had to be said that Pan Xin indeed deserved great credit. The appearance of the Chaos Heavenly Road had indeed played a unifying role for practitioners with higher cultivation within the Heavenly Dao.

Pan Xin suddenly landed on the golden avenue, followed by Ascending God. Both Saints restrained their Saint Might, suppressed their cultivation to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, and then stepped forward.

"This time, while heading to Chaos, we will check on the Chaos Heavenly Road. You should also be diligent and see where there are any deficiencies," Pan Xin instructed in a low voice.

Ascending God nodded.

His expression was strange.

He felt that Pan Xin had changed, becoming more steady and responsible, much like Venerable Xuandu.

In the past, Pan Xin would never have cared whether the Chaos Heavenly Road was perfect; he would only have thought about how to vie for power and profit.

Could it be that the Boundless Merit Divine Might Heavenly Sage had enlightened him?

For a moment, Han Jue's image in Ascending God's heart soared.

In his view, Han Jue was the truly perfect Dao-seeker—indifferent to fame and fortune, Cultivating in seclusion every day, yet when the Heavenly Dao faced great disaster, Han Jue never shirked, always stepping forward to turn the tide.

Of course, admiration was admiration, but Ascending God had no intention of joining the Hidden Gate.

The Hidden Gate was already strong enough; even if he joined, it would be difficult for him to gain Han Jue's trust. Pan Xin was different; he had few people around him, so he was his right-hand man.

The two Saints walked leisurely, yet each step covered ten thousand miles.

Soon, they entered the Dark Forbidden Zone. Looking back, they could no longer see the Immortal Realm.

The golden avenue was surrounded by darkness, dark to the extreme, with no light to be seen, incredibly oppressive.

Three people flew toward them from ahead, still complaining to each other.

"It's all your fault! What kind of intelligence did you find? Where was the Opportunity? It was a complete purgatory!"

"Exactly, Dao Supreme, can you be more careful in the future?"

"Nonsense! It was you two! As soon as we went in, you were like rabid dogs pouncing on dung, wandering around everywhere and triggering the Restriction."

It was none other than Dao Supreme, Zhao Xuanyuan, and Jiang Yi.

Their auras were somewhat weak, clearly having experienced a fierce battle not long ago.

Pan Xin and Ascending God recognized the trio's identities; after all, the Saints all paid attention to the Hidden Gate, and the three of Dao Supreme were the faces of the Hidden Gate Disciples, having illustrious reputations even before joining the Hidden Gate.

The three of Dao Supreme could not see the true faces of the two Saints, Pan Xin and Ascending God, only seeing mist on their faces, so they did not stop and brushed past them.

On the Chaos Heavenly Road, one often encountered such powerful beings hiding their true faces, so the three of Dao Supreme were accustomed to it.

After the two sides moved away from each other, Ascending God sighed with emotion: "The Hidden Gate's foundation is truly strong; those three are actually all Quasi-Saints."

Zhao Xuanyuan and Jiang Yi had also attained the Quasi-Saint realm within Chaos.

Pan Xin said nonchalantly: "Fellow Daoist Han truly has a good eye. Having him in the Heavenly Dao is a great fortune for the Heavenly Dao."

Ascending God caught the implication and asked cautiously: "You and Fellow Daoist Han…"

"Nothing much. After discussing the Dao, my understanding of him is deeper. Fellow Daoist Han will not be our enemy, but rather a helper," Pan Xin said ambiguously.

Ascending God's eyes lit up. Could it be that Pan Xin and Han Jue had already established a friendly relationship, or even an alliance?

If that were the case, it would be easier for them to get by in the Heavenly Dao in the future, and any ideas they had would not be hindered by other Saints.

The more Ascending God thought, the more he felt that the future was bright.

Just at this moment.

Pan Xin suddenly turned his head to look, startling Ascending God into turning his head as well.

Following the two Saints' gaze, it was an expanse of darkness, with nothing to be seen.

"What is it?" Ascending God asked.

Pan Xin said expressionlessly: "Something is watching us."

Ascending God asked: "Inauspicious Evil Spirits?"

Pan Xin shook his head.

Ascending God was surprised. Weren't the unseen evil existences in the Dark Forbidden Zone Inauspicious Evil Spirits?

Pan Xin said: "Let's keep going and see how long this thing will follow us."

Ascending God nodded.

They maintained their previous pace and continued forward.

…

In the blood-colored starry sky, countless severed limbs floated in the Void Realm.

A dilapidated pavilion floated amidst countless meteorites. Han Tuo, covered in blood, lay on the eaves, panting heavily, his expression exhausted.

Yi Tian suddenly landed and slumped down beside him, panting as he asked: "Brat, are you done for?"

Han Tuo rolled his eyes at him and said: "Aren't you the same? What are you holding on for!"

Yi Tian looked into the distance. Two terrifying giant shadows were fighting deep in the Void Realm. Massive mists churned violently, filled with a sense of oppression, as if this blood-colored starry sky could shatter at any moment.

A look of fear appeared in Yi Tian's eyes.

The gap was too great; he didn't even dare to approach the main battlefield.
