Chapter 775: Ancient Faction, New Faction, and Daoist Fate [Third Update, Seeking monthly votes]

After entering the Taichu Domain, Hong Yuan finally stopped buttering him up, and Han Jue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had thought that all Chaos Demon Gods were arrogant and bloodthirsty, but he had not expected the existence of someone like Hong Yuan.

Hong Yuan did not seem like a Chaos Demon God; she seemed more like a human.

The Taichu Domain was enveloped by a layer of firelight. Its interior was vast, not inferior to the Immortal Realm, with blue skies, white clouds, green mountains, and clear waters, forming a world of its own.

However, Han Jue did not sense the aura of any living beings.

The two flew rapidly, and soon they arrived at a massive palace that towered into the clouds. The gate alone was a million zhang tall, and in front of the gate stood two great cauldrons, each with a stick of incense inserted. The sandalwood smoke permeated the area, turning into clouds and mist that enveloped the entire world.

A giant stood in front of the gate, clad in heavy bronze armor, his true face obscured.

He spoke, "The two Demon Gods, please enter the palace on your own; the Master is already waiting inside."

Han Jue and Hong Yuan followed and entered the palace.

Han Jue sensed wave after wave of powerful auras and secretly felt it was a pity.

If only his Clone could also use the Simulation Trial to detect the surroundings, that would be great.

The interior of the palace was empty, the space filled with white light as if it were an independent space. In front, there were rows of meditation cushions, each ten thousand zhang apart, all facing the same direction.

Taichu Demon God!

The Taichu Demon God wore a black robe, his head like black flames, his true face obscured, mysterious and terrifying.

More than twenty Chaos Demon Gods were already seated.

Han Jue and Hong Yuan exchanged a glance, then found adjacent meditation cushions and sat down.

"This must be Fellow Daoist Han Jue from the Heavenly Dao. Truly, the younger generation is to be feared. You slew the Despair Dao Spirit, defeated the Daoist in the Divine Robe, and the number of Great Dao Sages who died at your hands has reached fourteen. You have truly won face for us Chaos Demon Gods," the Taichu Demon God suddenly looked at Han Jue and said.

Once these words were spoken, Han Jue felt himself being swept by many Saintly Senses.

Han Jue responded politely, "It was all forced by circumstances. Compared to everyone here, I am still far behind."

He did not deny it; excessive humility would only appear hypocritical.

The Taichu Demon God sighed with emotion, "Back in the day, the three thousand Demon Gods stood in the Chaos, what a magnificent sight. All Chaos races trembled, filled with fear and despair at the birth of the three thousand Demon Gods. Alas, Pangu was heartless, slaughtering his own kind to Attain the Dao. Thinking of it now, I am still filled with resentment. Fellow Daoist Han, you must properly manage the Heavenly Dao and do not let Pangu have a chance to revive!"

Other Demon Gods sighed along with him, their voices mostly weathered; they were likely Chaos Demon Gods who had survived the Pangu catastrophe.

Seeing them chatting, Han Jue simply did not join in and listened quietly.

He was not a real Chaos Demon God, so he would not open his heart to these guys.

He was here to hear how these Demon Gods intended to plot against him!

Hong Yuan sent a voice transmission to Han Jue, "Among the Chaos Demon Gods, there is a division between the Ancient Faction and the New Faction. Those speaking now are all of the Ancient Faction. You and I, being of the New Faction, should just listen; our cultivation is not as high as theirs, so it is difficult for us to take the lead."

Han Jue responded, "I understand."

The Ancient Faction Chaos Demon Gods chatted about the past, much like big shots reminiscing about their glorious years.

Pretentious.

Judging by this, they would have to wait for a while longer.

Han Jue was also curious about how many Chaos Demon Gods were currently hidden in the Chaos.

Several days later, the Foolish Sword Divine Saint also arrived.

He was not surprised to see Han Jue; instead, he found a meditation cushion near Han Jue, sat down, and began to chat with Han Jue via voice transmission.

This guy was very excited, saying that after his duel with Han Jue ended, he went back to study the Dao of the Sword, and his strength had increased again, so he would not be so embarrassed when facing Han Jue again.

However, he also had self-awareness and did not challenge Han Jue to a fight right now.

After chatting for half a day, the Foolish Sword Divine Saint fell silent.

The Foolish Sword Divine Saint also belonged to the Ancient Faction of Demon Gods, but he did not participate in the Taichu Demon God's conversation.

He did not know if it was his imagination, but the Demon Gods seemed to be somewhat repulsed by the Foolish Sword Divine Saint.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the Saint of Fate?"

A voice suddenly drifted into Han Jue's ears.

Han Jue glanced over and saw an Old Daoist in a grey robe staring at him.

Han Jue replied via voice transmission, "I have heard of him, but I do not know him well. By the time I Attained the Dao, he had already fallen."

The grey-robed Old Daoist sent a voice transmission, "True. My good-for-nothing disciple was defeated by the Dark Forbidden Master and abandoned by the Heavenly Dao Saints."

Disciple?

Han Jue was secretly surprised.

Wait!

Daoist Fate!

Han Jue remembered; he had previously calculated that Daoist Fate and Empress Nuwa were plotting something, but after the Saint of Fate fell, Daoist Fate had not appeared.

Han Jue replied via voice transmission, "My condolences. The current Heavenly Dao is no longer the original Heavenly Dao, and your disciple is not the only Saint who has fallen in the past."

"True. I do not intend to hold anyone accountable; I just want to befriend you. I am very curious about you, Fellow Daoist."

"Having one more friend is naturally a good thing."

"Indeed."

The two began to exchange pleasantries and make small talk.

[Daoist Fate has developed favorability towards you. Current favorability is 2 stars.]

Han Jue did not care; it was all acting.

However, Daoist Fate was sincere. Han Jue had such formidable battle records that anyone who heard of them would think he was not to be trifled with, but Han Jue behaved kindly. This magnanimity made Daoist Fate feel very comfortable.

In the following period, Demon Gods arrived one after another.

A full three hundred years passed.

The Taichu Palace finally closed. Han Jue counted; there were sixty-seven Chaos Demon Gods in total, more than he had imagined.

However, most of the Demon Gods here were only at the Zizai Realm cultivation.

The Taichu Demon God stopped chatting, and soon the Taichu Palace fell silent.

After a long while.

The Taichu Demon God opened his eyes and said, "Everyone, the purpose of this gathering is the Primordial Chaos Demon God. Although there are prophecies saying that the Primordial Chaos Demon God has not yet been born, this matter already threatens the Chaos Demon Gods. It is not impossible that some Great Dao Spirits, Eternal Spirits, or Chaos living beings might use the Primordial Chaos Demon God to eliminate us."

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the palace became silent.

Han Jue was secretly curious, who spread the prophecy?

He would have to calculate it properly after returning.

The Ancient Faction Demon Gods spoke again, starting to discuss where the Primordial Chaos Demon God might be born and who might pose a threat to the Chaos Demon Gods.

When it involved the Heavenly Dao, Han Jue would respond; as long as it did not involve sovereignty issues, everything was easy to discuss.

This conversation was very long and would likely last for a long time.

…

Inside the Daoist temple.

Han Jue opened his eyes.

He had once again gone into seclusion for ten thousand years, but his Clone had not yet returned.

With the Clone not returning, Han Jue felt uneasy and found it difficult to calm down and Cultivate.

After all, there was a group of Great Powers plotting in secret to kill him; if it were anyone else, it would also be hard to remain calm.

Han Jue opened the mail to check it and relax.

[Your friend Lord Jingtian has become Fate, and his Luck has transformed.]

[Your friend Ancestor Xitian has been attacked by a Mysterious Great Power.]

[Your friend Li Daokong has gained insights into the Dao of the Sword and received guidance from a Mysterious Great Power.]

[Your friend Venerable Xuandu has accidentally obtained a supreme treasure, and his Luck has greatly increased.]

[Your disciple Dao Supreme has been dragged into chaotic space-time.]

[Your disciple Zhao Xuanyuan has been dragged into chaotic space-time.]

[Your friend Jiang Yi has been dragged into chaotic space-time.]

[Your friend Yi Tian has awakened the power of a Chaos Demon God, and his Dao Cultivation has skyrocketed.]

[Your son Han Tuo has sacrificed his Physical Body, transcending his limits, and his Dao Cultivation has greatly increased.]
