Chapter 765: Predestination and Requesting Merit [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The Saints chatted for a long time and finally nominated Immortal God Ji to become a Saint.

Obviously, there was a degree of flattery involved.

However, in terms of qualifications, Immortal God Ji was indeed sufficient. His cultivation was that of a Quasi-Saint. He commanded the Heavenly Clan. Since the Heavenly Clan was abandoned by the Saints and migrated to the Underworld, they have been silently contributing. Later, with the support of Great Emperor Tian'e, the Heavenly Clan and the E Clan intermarried, making the Heavenly Clan increasingly powerful.

Speaking of which, Han Jue hadn't paid attention to this disciple for a long time.

After making a mistake back then, Immortal God Ji had been in seclusion Cultivating without any complaints.

Venerable Xuandu spoke again: "Next, let's discuss the ten sages of antiquity. This legend cannot convince the Chaos, so we need to select ten Prodigies who can represent the Heavenly Dao and make a name for themselves. They must not be Saints."

The ten sages of antiquity?

Han Jue silently calculated, finding himself between laughter and tears.

Venerable Xuandu certainly knows how to play games.

Perhaps to a Great Dao Sage, it seems ridiculous, but for all living beings, that might not be the case.

If enough people believe it, it becomes real.

Venerable Xuandu is quite skilled when it comes to Divine Authority. The Reincarnation Space he started is still developing today, which is enough to show his capability.

The Saints began to name the Prodigies they thought could become one of the ten sages of antiquity.

Han Jue said, "There's no need to strictly choose from the Hidden Gate. Too much is as bad as not enough, and it wouldn't be good. The Heavenly Dao also needs to give opportunities to other cultivators. In the future, the Heavenly Dao will only grow larger, and the Saints' authority will be continuously delegated. All of you will rise with the strengthening of the Heavenly Dao."

Hearing this, the Saints praised Han Jue for his grand vision.

Han Jue was not being aloof or finding this boring; on the contrary, he enjoyed it immensely, though he did not show it.

Han Jue did not participate in the subsequent topics.

After the ten sages of antiquity were decided, Pan Xin spoke, "Fate injured me. When will the Heavenly Dao exterminate Fate?"

His tone was indignant.

The other Saints remained silent.

Fate was not something the Heavenly Dao could contend with; who knew how many Great Dao Sages were hidden within Fate?

Han Jue asked, "How did Fate provoke you?"

Pan Xin gritted his teeth and said, "They are eyeing the Chaos Heavenly Road. Furthermore, I suspect one of my supreme treasures was stolen by the Fate Faction!"

He couldn't actually find a good reason. Truthfully, Fate was only roaming the Chaos Heavenly Road gathering information. He went there to vent his frustration because the sky-opening axe had turned to dust, but he ended up being severely punished instead.

South Pole Heavenly Venerate asked curiously, "What supreme treasure? The sky-opening axe, or the Chaos Green Lotus?"

The expressions of the other Saints were strange.

Pan Xin's supreme treasure was stolen… For some reason, Pan Xin felt inexplicably uneasy under their gaze, like a lamb falling into a tiger's den. He gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, a treasure was stolen!"

Han Jue narrowed his eyes and secretly performed a calculation.

Unfortunately, Pan Xin possessed immense Heavenly Dao fortune, making it impossible for him to calculate clearly.

The current Pan Xin had been enslaved, so he was considered Han Jue's subordinate. Han Jue naturally had to speak up for him.

Han Jue said, "I will consider this matter, but the Fate Faction is unfathomable, and we must not act rashly. Perhaps even without the Heavenly Dao taking action, Fate won't last much longer."

Once he spoke, Pan Xin could only give up.

The other Saints also relaxed.

The Heavenly Dao had finally ushered in a peaceful and prosperous era, which had only lasted several hundred thousand years, and they certainly didn't want to break it.

For Saints, several hundred thousand years passed very quickly.

They were usually busy Cultivating, just like Han Jue; blinking their eyes felt like an epoch had passed.

An hour later, the Saints departed one by one.

After returning to his Daoist temple, Han Jue first teleported to the Second Dao Field, released the Extremely Dark Demon God who had long been born, and, as usual, had Murong Qi come to receive him.

After that, he returned directly to the Main Dao Field to begin Cultivating.

The Fate Faction was restless and would sooner or later cause trouble for the Heavenly Dao again.

Han Jue was temporarily not a match for the Initial Fate Black Venerable, so he felt pressure and had to seize the time to Cultivate.

The sooner he achieved the Great Dao Supreme, the better!

…In a dim space, vast fog surged.

Three figures were sitting cross-legged in a pool of water. Besides Li Daokong and Shi Duxiao, there was one other person.

It was none other than Ancestor Xitian.

Ancestor Xitian was completely different from his past self. He wore a black Daoist robe, and a vertical crease appeared between his brows from his persistent frowning, while a wisp of sinister Qi lingered around him.

He looked more like a manifestation of a Heart Demon.

Just then, a loud voice rang out:

"Your first mission has arrived. You must carry it out, and you must complete it!"

Hearing this, Ancestor Xitian, Li Daokong, and Shi Duxiao opened their eyes.

The loud voice continued, "Ancestor Xitian, you are the leader of the Three Fates. Go and capture Sect Master Tongtian and Demon Ancestor Luohou."

Ancestor Xitian frowned and said, "Sect Master Tongtian is too powerful; we probably aren't his match. Demon Ancestor Luohou is a Dharma Idol Clone of the Dao Ancestor. Is Fate provoking Great Dao Spirits, and now provoking the Dao Ancestor too?"

Li Daokong and Shi Duxiao also frowned. They had heard these two names before; they were mighty figures from the ancient myths of the Heavenly Dao.

"Sect Master Tongtian has been severely wounded by Laozi, retaining less than ten percent of his strength. You can also try to persuade him. As for Luohou, the Dao Ancestor's Luck is spread throughout the Chaos, and his Dharma Idols are far more numerous than just Luohou. He won't suddenly appear just for Luohou."

"Once these two become Fates, they will belong to you and will act alongside you in the future."

Ancestor Xitian fell silent.

A gate of light appeared next to the pool.

Li Daokong frowned, and Shi Duxiao raised an eyebrow. Both harbored ulterior motives, intending to infiltrate the Fate Faction, and they hadn't expected to be assigned a mission so quickly.

Li Daokong served Han Jue, while Shi Duxiao, although guessing that Han Jue was the Dark Forbidden Master, believed that the Dark Forbidden Master was the true identity and Han Jue was merely a disguise. Therefore, the goals they strived for were completely different.

One wanted to eradicate Fate, and the other wanted to understand Fate and find an opportunity to integrate into it.

Ancestor Xitian was the first to stand up and walk towards the gate of light, saying, "Let's go. Perhaps this is our predestination."

Shi Duxiao followed closely behind.

Li Daokong hesitated for a moment before choosing to follow.

They had Cultivated here for hundreds of thousands of years, and their strength had undergone earth-shattering changes. This battle was the perfect opportunity to verify the results of their Cultivation… Inside an empty, gloomy great hall, the Daoist in the Divine Robe sat cross-legged within a red pillar of light, his robes gently fluttering.

A figure entered the hall.

It was the Curse Demon God.

The Curse Demon God bowed and said, "Divine Superior, I require your help."

The Daoist in the Divine Robe opened his eyes and stared faintly at the Curse Demon God.

Previously, he had never paid attention to the Curse Demon God, and when he became Han Jue's slave, he didn't recall the Curse Demon God either, so he hadn't mentioned him to Han Jue.

Now that the Curse Demon God had appeared, he considered whether he should kill this fellow and request merit from Han Jue.

"What is it?" the Daoist in the Divine Robe asked indifferently.

The Curse Demon God's heart clenched. The Daoist in the Divine Robe had changed.

He used to always laugh with him, so why had he suddenly become so cold?

Could it be that his Dao Heart was frustrated because of the battle with Han Jue?

While thinking, the Curse Demon God said, "The Peacock Divine Lord has been constantly harassing me. If this continues, I'm afraid I will die at his hands."

Mentioning this, the Curse Demon God gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with rage.

His hatred for the Peacock Divine Lord now surpassed his hatred for Han Jue!
