Chapter 837: The Saints of the Hidden Gate

"After eliminating the Chaos Demon God, what should be done?"

The Order Holy Mother asked, her tone indifferent.

The divine light figure said, "The unchanging Chaos dissatisfies all beings. Since all beings desire change and wish to break the existing structure, I shall give them the Opportunity. The Great Dao Calamity will continue!"

The Order Holy Mother fell silent, sinking into contemplation.

The divine light figure continued, "Keep watching him. Before the Divine Authority Generals sweep through Chaos, he must not be released."

The Order Holy Mother replied, "I understand."

The divine light figure on her shoulder vanished as if it had never been there.

This stretch of heaven and earth then fell into tranquility… While Han Jue was cultivating, the Immortal Realm underwent drastic changes. As more and more living beings joined the Calamity's slaughter, Karma began to appear between heaven and earth.

Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven, things became lively, and the Saint Dao Fields were all discussing this Calamity.

Heavenly Dao Palace.

Zhao Xuanyuan clicked his tongue in wonder, "Venerable Xia, what is your relationship with Dao Supreme?"

Dao Supreme rolled his eyes and said, "In the Divine Palace, the person with the strongest Aptitude can be titled Supreme. My original name just happens to have the surname Dao."

"Then what is your original name? Dao Xuanyuan?"

"Heh heh."

"How about Dao Yi?"

Jiang Yi chimed in with a laugh, making Dao Supreme want to hit him.

Su Qi asked, "When do you think the Divine Authority Generals will arrive?"

Fang Liang shook his head, indicating he did not know.

Dao Supreme said, "Chaos is immensely vast. We have wandered outside for two million years, and the places we have visited are merely the tip of the iceberg of Chaos, not worth mentioning at all. The Divine Authority Generals will need a great deal of time to monitor the entire Chaos."

"For us, one hundred thousand years is already long enough, but for Chaos, it is probably just a few breaths of time."

Su Qi and Fang Liang could not help but feel longing.

Fang Liang smiled, "If we can survive this Calamity, I also want to venture into Chaos."

Dao Supreme smiled, "Sure, join us then. The five of us fellow Disciples will roam Chaos, establish a glorious reputation, and bring honor to the Hidden Gate."

Zhao Xuanyuan hesitated to speak.

Jiang Yi said proudly, "That's right. The three of us have attained Freedom, protecting the two of you is effortless."

Su Qi said, "Alright, we will rely on the three of you then."

"No problem, no problem."

The atmosphere inside the Heavenly Dao Palace was harmonious, filled with continuous laughter and cheer.

On the other side.

Inside the Celestial Clan Holy Palace, Immortal God Ji and Heavenly Battle sat facing each other.

Immortal God Ji's eyes flickered as he asked in a deep voice, "Is that true?"

Heavenly Battle nodded and said, "It is true. Yang Che even tried to win me over, saying that the Three Pure Ones Sacred Realm is willing to accept Heavenly Dao Saints, and they have a way to evade the Divine Authority Generals' surveillance."

Immortal God Ji said coldly, "That Yang Che, he is truly courting death!"

Heavenly Battle hesitated.

Immortal God Ji glanced at him and asked, "Speak! Don't beat around the bush!"

"If the rumors are true, how can the Heavenly Dao withstand the Divine Authority Generals? Ten thousand Divine Authority Generals! They are all Great Dao Sages!"

Heavenly Battle said excitedly. He also frequently traveled to Chaos and had some understanding of the Realm above Saints, no longer as ignorant as before.

Immortal God Ji frowned tightly.

"Clan Chief, must our Celestial Clan really die alongside the Heavenly Dao?" Heavenly Battle clenched his fists and asked.

"Even Venerable Xuandu has dealings with the Three Pure Ones Sacred Realm! Maybe he already has a fallback plan!"

Heavenly Battle became increasingly agitated. The Celestial Clan used to be a Heavenly Dao race, but later, due to the Saints' schemes, they fell to doing odd jobs in the Underworld. This matter had always been a thorn in the Celestial Clan's side.

He felt there was no need to guard the Heavenly Dao!

Immortal God Ji said coldly, "Do you think I am doing this for the Heavenly Dao?"

Heavenly Battle was stunned and said, "If not for the Heavenly Dao, then for what? Could it be…"

He thought of the Boundless Merit Divine Might Heavenly Sage!

"If Master hasn't ordered us to retreat, we cannot retreat!" Immortal God Ji snorted.

Heavenly Battle fell silent.

Immortal God Ji comforted him, "Don't worry. If we truly cannot win, Master will take us and flee. You might not understand the Divine Might Heavenly Sage, but I do. If not for my Master, how could I be where I am today? How could the Celestial Clan be where it is today? How could the Heavenly Dao be where it is today?"

Heavenly Battle gave a wry smile.

He knew the Divine Might Heavenly Sage was formidable.

But that was ten thousand Great Dao Sages!

Great Dao Sages are comparable to the Great Dao, eternal and indestructible, with boundless magic power, capable of peering into Chaos and traversing time and space!

Immortal God Ji saw the unease in his heart and said, "I know the current situation looks like a dead end, but only in a dead end can a great Opportunity be found. If even Venerable Xuandu leaves, and we survive the Calamity of the Divine Authority Generals, the Heavenly Dao will have to listen to us!"

"The power of the Hidden Gate is immense, you should know that!"

Heavenly Battle's eyes lit up upon hearing this. That was indeed true.

But… could they really survive it?

…Fifty thousand years later.

Han Jue opened his eyes, which were sharp and cold, his body shimmering with a faint purple light.

"I found it!"

Han Jue whispered softly, the corner of his mouth curling up.

He finally found the chance to attain the Supreme Realm!

Now, his Physical Body had completely fused with the Extreme Origin Great Dao, and he was in an unprecedented state. The 108 nonillion stars within the Hongmeng Realm were trembling, causing the Primordial Qi inside the Hongmeng Realm to surge violently.

He estimated that he could successfully Break through in at most one hundred thousand years!

"How much longer until the Divine Authority Generals reach the Heavenly Dao?"

Han Jue asked in his mind.

[Requires deducting ten quadrillion years of lifespan. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue!

[Approximately one million five hundred thousand years.]

There was a slight change, but for Han Jue, it was enough!

Han Jue was in a pleasant mood.

He first habitually checked his emails. His recent circle of friends was very peaceful, and the number of emails was much fewer than before.

After reading the emails, he looked towards the Immortal Realm again.

The Karma between heaven and earth was growing heavier. Qin Ling and Venerable Xia had invaded the Buddhist Sect three times, but were all blocked. As for the Buddha that Qin Ling was seeking revenge against, he was confined within the Buddhist Sect and forbidden to show his face, clearly to protect him.

The grievances of all beings needed an outlet, and the action needed a just cause. Thus, this Buddha had become the enemy of all beings. His faith collapsed, his Dao Heart was chaotic, and his cultivation had also dropped significantly, making his situation utterly miserable.

It was estimated that the Immeasurable Calamity would end in at most ten thousand years.

Subsequently, Han Jue arrived inside the Heavenly Dao Palace.

Fang Liang, Su Qi, Dao Supreme, Zhao Xuanyuan, and Jiang Yi opened their eyes one after another. Upon seeing that it was Han Jue, they immediately knelt down.

Han Jue summoned Immortal God Ji and Long Hao.

All the Disciples were very excited facing Han Jue, and they all knelt respectfully.

Han Jue waved his hand, signaling them to sit down.

Immortal God Ji was the first to speak: "Master, some Saints want to flee the Heavenly Dao, and are even helping the Three Pure Ones Sacred Realm and other worlds poach Saints."

Jiang Yi snorted, "Who is so audacious as to court death?"

They had traveled so far to return and provide support, yet these Saints wanted to flee instead?

Han Jue thought for a moment and summoned Qiu Xilai, Sect Master Tianjue, Xu Didao, Pan Xin, Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate, and Han Yu.

There were a total of ten Heavenly Dao Saints, plus the three Free and Unfettered Saints including Dao Supreme, making for quite a luxurious lineup.

The Saints exchanged glances, all somewhat surprised.

They roughly understood what was happening.

Han Jue began, "All of you are Saints of my Hidden Gate. Now that the Heavenly Dao is shaken, I need all of you to stabilize it."

He isolated the Heavenly Dao Palace so that no one could peek inside.
