Chapter 856: The Ninth Chaos

Following the battle of the Heavenly Dao, the name of the Divine Might Heavenly Sage swept through the Chaos like a hurricane. His fame endured, and the landscape of the Chaos changed because of it.

The Divine Authority Generals had slain dozens of Chaos Demon Gods, an act with far-reaching consequences equivalent to killing off over half of the Great Dao Sages. Their factions had complex roots and wide-reaching influence, yet the Divine Might Heavenly Sage had easily suppressed ten thousand Divine Authority Generals. This heralded the rise of the Heavenly Dao as an unshakable overlord!

As long as the Divine Might Heavenly Sage remained, the Heavenly Dao would be the strongest power in the Chaos!

For a time, the gaze of all living beings in the Chaos fell upon the Heavenly Dao.

As time passed, if the Heavenly Dao faced no further attacks from the supreme rules of the Chaos, a massive number of cultivators would surely join it!

A place that could guard against the supreme rules of the Chaos—was that not a Holy Land?

And so, the years went by.

A hundred thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Daoist temple.

Han Jue opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

His cultivation had grown again, and the Hongmeng Realm had nearly doubled in size.

However, he always felt that something was missing.

The main issue was that the Hongmeng Realm was too empty; it needed to breed its own living beings.

Although the Primordial Qi was infinitely mysterious and could breed Chaos Demon Gods, it had not yet truly created a Chaos Demon God on its own.

Han Jue thought for a moment; he lacked the Power of Creation!

The Power of Creation was the most powerful rule among the seven supreme rules!

It could create everything!

Among the seven rules, creation was the most indispensable!

Han Jue looked up above the Three Thousand Great Daos. That high-hanging rule of creation was so mysterious and great, it filled one with longing.

Just looking at it for a while, Han Jue's mind almost became immersed in it.

He fell into deep thought.

The Taiyi Zizai Dharma Idol contained the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos, but he had yet to comprehend the Creation Demon God.

He did have the Creator Demon God, but when he had previously tried to integrate the Creator Dao into the Hongmeng Realm, it was quickly submerged by the Primordial Qi, making it impossible to create living beings.

Creation and the Power of Creation might seem only a word apart, but the difference was actually vast.

Han Jue had a premonition that if he wanted to keep getting stronger, the Hongmeng Realm could not remain empty.

Chaos Unknowing is not in the Chaos. Could it be that the Chaos is a world created by Chaos Unknowing?

Han Jue's heart skipped a beat.

"Who created the Chaos?" Han Jue asked in his mind.

[100 quintillion years of lifespan will be deducted. Do you wish to continue?]

So expensive?

A Creator Daoist only cost one quadrillion years!

A hundred times the price?

He immediately chose to continue.

[The Ninth Chaos: cultivation unknown. A Spirit of the Grandmist, the opener of the Chaos, the Unnameable. Unaffected by any rules. Nine Spirits of the Grandmist were once born in the Grandmist; the first eight failed, and the Ninth Chaos successfully opened the Chaos. Nine became the extreme number of the Chaos, carrying special significance.]

There were other living beings in the Grandmist?

Weren't there only Primordial Chaos Demon Gods?

Or did I misunderstand?

Han Jue only saw the prompt before him; no image of the Ninth Chaos appeared in his mind, and he didn't know if this fellow was still alive.

"Can the Ninth Chaos reach the Creation Sovereign realm?" Han Jue asked in his mind.

Above the Creator Daoist was the Creation Sovereign realm!

He had asked before and was told no Creation Sovereign existed, but some time had passed since then; perhaps things had changed.

[100 quintillion years of lifespan will be deducted. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue!

[No.]

That's good.

At the same time, this proved that the Ninth Chaos was still alive!

Han Jue suddenly had a thought.

Could it be that the Chaos Gods don't dare to personally interfere with the Chaos because of the existence of the Ninth Chaos?

The Chaos Gods sounded powerful, but how could they compare to the Ninth Chaos, who created the Chaos?

Han Jue asked in his mind, "Does the Ninth Chaos restrict the Chaos Gods' interference in the Chaos?"

[100 quintillion years of lifespan will be deducted. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue!

[Yes.]

That explains it then.

The pressure in Han Jue's heart suddenly vanished.

"Is there any existence more powerful than the Ninth Chaos?"

[100 quintillion years of lifespan will be deducted. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue!

[Not for the time being.]

Han Jue showed a smile.

The ceiling has finally shown its face!

Once I reach the Creation Sovereign realm, I will be the new ceiling!

By then, I'll roam the Chaos and the Grandmist as I please!

I'll do whatever I want. Whoever dares to offend me won't even have a chance to look for a backer; I'll just wipe them out!

Infinite anticipation welled up in Han Jue's heart.

He pulled up his emails to see if his friend circle had been lively lately.

[Your disciple Dao Supreme was attacked by Inauspicious Evil Spirits] x899,220,003

[Your disciple Zhao Xuanyuan was attacked by Inauspicious Evil Spirits] x790,983,211

[Your friend Lao Dan was attacked by Inauspicious Evil Spirits] x900,283,924

[Your friend Jiang Yi was attacked by Inauspicious Evil Spirits] x800,879,326

[Your Grand-disciple Chu Shiren spreads the Buddhist Dao, his Luck has increased]

[Your friend the Evil Heavenly Emperor created an Inauspicious Divine Spirit, his Luck has declined]

[Your friend Huang Zuntian was attacked by Fate] x572

[Your son Han Tuo received guidance from a Mysterious Great Power]

…It's getting lively again!

Han Jue saw that the trio of punching bags had become a quartet, and he couldn't help but mourn for Lao Dan.

Why did you have to follow those three guys?

Han Jue smiled, finding Lao Dan more and more agreeable.

Last time in the Qiankun Hall, Lao Dan had acted very low-key. Even when the Divine Authority Generals attacked, he didn't think of fleeing, which made him quite pleasing to Han Jue's eyes.

He also knew Lao Dan's purpose: he had his eye on the Aptitude of Dao Supreme and the other two.

Regarding this, Han Jue turned a blind eye.

On the path of cultivation, most have Masters, benefactors, or guides. Han Jue wasn't afraid of the three being lured away; he was raising them with a hands-off approach anyway.

Han Jue continued reading. The disciples and Grand-disciples who had returned earlier had gone out again.

However, the Buddha Realm, the Tower of the Great Dao, and the Hong Yuan World were still near the Heavenly Dao and already possessed Heavenly Dao fortune. In the long run, they would eventually merge into the Heavenly Dao.

After finishing the emails, Han Jue sent a Dream Message to Huang Zuntian.

It had been too long since they last connected; he had to show some concern, lest Huang Zuntian change his mind or feel mistreated.

The dream was set in front of the Eighteen Peaks of the Yuqing Sect from years ago.

Huang Zuntian opened his eyes, and seeing it was Han Jue, he hurriedly bowed.

"Master, you are too incredible! Those were ten thousand Divine Authority Generals, equivalent to ten thousand Great Dao Sages. I heard that twenty thousand more appeared later? This matter has already gone crazy in the Chaos. You are already the strongest Chaos Demon God; some even say you are the strongest in the Chaos!"

Huang Zuntian said excitedly, his tone full of agitation.

The strongest in the Chaos!

Han Jue felt a secret thrill but remained calm on the surface, saying, "It was merely a move of necessity. How have you been lately? Do you need my help with anything?"

Huang Zuntian hurriedly said, "How could I need your help? I owe everything I have today to you; otherwise, I would have died in the Mortal Realm long ago. Your actions give me infinite inspiration. You just stay and guard the Heavenly Dao. Sooner or later, I will help you take down Fate. Once I become the Master of Fate, I can contribute even more to you!"

He began to recount his recent experiences, becoming more high-spirited as he spoke.

Han Jue listened intently. Huang Zuntian's story was indeed legendary. Han Jue felt it was much more exciting than his own—from a prisoner to a figure of power within the Fate Faction, even inheriting the Luck and divine abilities of the Calamity Sealing Fated One.

Though he had benefactors along the way, Huang Zuntian had earned those opportunities himself.

"One day, I will conquer a vast Domain for you and expand the borders of the Heavenly Dao!" Huang Zuntian said with a wave of his sleeve, his face full of confidence, a completely different person from who he was back in the Jie Sect.
