Chapter 879: Divine Punishment Returns

After leaving Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven, Han Jue and the other two did not stay in the Main Dao Field for long before teleporting to the Third Dojo.

"It's been so long since I've been back, I almost forgot about this place. Home is still the best," Han Qinger said with a nostalgic look as she walked out of the Daoist temple and stretched.

Beside her, Qing Luaner covered her mouth and laughed, "You will regret saying that."

Han Qinger asked, "Why?"

Qing Luaner sighed with emotion, "Your father is going to go into secluded cultivation next."

"So he goes into secluded cultivation, so what?"

"It means you won't be able to go out."

"That's fine, I'll just wait for him to finish his secluded cultivation and take me out then."

"Do you know how long he will be in secluded cultivation?"

"How long could it be? Wait! Mother, do you mean Father will be in secluded cultivation for a very long time? How long? A hundred years? A thousand years? It can't be, right?"

Han Qinger's pretty face instantly turned pale.

She had encountered many cultivators in the Immortal Realm, and whenever they mentioned great experts, they always said that once a great expert entered secluded cultivation, a thousand autumns would pass.

Although Han Qinger had just returned, she was still very much looking forward to the Immortal Realm. She had been thinking that after Cultivating at home for a while, she would have to go out and venture into the Immortal Realm on her own.

Without her parents' company, she would be freer and it would be more exciting.

Qing Luaner shook her head and laughed, revealing a mysterious smile.

Han Qinger was frightened.

Could it be more than a thousand years?

"Alright, go and meet the Disciples of the dojo. In a few days, you will have to start Cultivating, and I will be the one to guide your Cultivation then," Qing Luaner said, patting her head with an affectionate smile, before walking towards the hundreds of living beings under the tree in the distance.

Ten years had passed, and these living beings still looked like young boys and girls.

Han Qinger's attention was drawn to them, and she didn't expect that even after so many years, they were still so small.

She immediately trotted over.

On the other side, inside the Daoist temple, Han Jue began his Cultivation again.

In just ten short years, he felt it had been longer than hundreds of thousands of years of secluded cultivation. When he was in secluded cultivation, his thoughts settled and time passed quickly. But in these ten years, he had traveled with his wife and daughter, seeing and hearing new things every day, so it naturally felt long.

Having not engaged in Cultivation for too long, Han Jue felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

He was afraid of becoming slack.

He had to always maintain an attitude of Cultivation; otherwise, even if he reached the pinnacle of strength, he might still overturn the cart.

Throughout history, the pinnacle of the strongest had changed countless times. Whenever the strongest let their guard down, successors always rose up.

Just like Han Jue now, a casual session of secluded cultivation would last a hundred thousand years. For a talented cultivator, a hundred thousand years was enough to rise to prominence. After several hundred thousand years, who knew if someone like Pangu might appear.

After thinking this way, Han Jue's Dao Heart stabilized.

Deep within his Soul, the expansion speed of the Grandmist Realm became even faster.

…

Inside a palace, the Daoist in the Divine Robe looked at the five figures in the hall, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

The five great divine punishments!

Han Tuo, clad in silver armor, stared at the Daoist in the Divine Robe and said, "We have come, you should understand why."

Yi Tian's face was full of mockery.

Ever since they became the five great divine punishments, their mindset had begun to change.

No Great Dao Spirits dared to argue with them. Anyone would become arrogant in their position, let alone Yi Tian, who was naturally arrogant by nature.

"I understand, I will not stop you all," the Daoist in the Divine Robe said.

He sighed inwardly, thinking how truly amazing his master was.

Even his son had become one of the five great divine punishments.

And he was even the leader of the five great divine punishments.

Although the five great divine punishments were Free and Unfettered, they had already begun to show their prominence in Chaos.

Han Tuo said, "We wish to stay in the Chaos Domain under your jurisdiction for a period of time. You should first summon the Free and Unfettered Saints and Great Dao Sages here. We will give you ten thousand years."

The Daoist in the Divine Robe nodded, having no objections. He only pretended to be very aggrieved, while inwardly he was very submissive to Han Tuo.

He thought Han Tuo was a chess piece Han Jue had planted among the Great Dao Spirits, so he dared not show any closeness, and even less dared to reveal his relationship with Han Jue.

The Daoist in the Divine Robe closed his eyes and began to transmit messages to the Free and Unfettered Saints and Great Dao Sages.

Yi Tian looked at Han Tuo and asked, "The Heavenly Dao is in this Chaos Domain. Should we go back and take a look?"

The Heavenly Dao!

The other three Divine Punishments couldn't help but show curiosity.

The battle of the Divine Authority Generals had made the Heavenly Dao shake Chaos, and the name of the Divine Might Heavenly Sage had been crowned with the title of the strongest in Chaos, so they were naturally curious.

Even after becoming the five great divine punishments, they dared not underestimate the Divine Might Heavenly Sage. Two thousand Divine Authority Generals had been slain by the Divine Might Heavenly Sage; this was a solid, proven achievement.

Every single Divine Authority General was an existence that could dominate Great Dao Sages!

Han Tuo hesitated.

One of the five great divine punishments laughed, "Go and take a look. Now that you are a noble member of the five great divine punishments, it can be considered bringing glory to the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps it can even ease the relationship between the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao Spirits."

"Yes! This is a good opportunity."

"Perhaps this is also the intention of the Supreme Punishment Divine Venerable."

The three Divine Punishments all agreed to go to the Heavenly Dao.

They even believed that this was the main purpose of the Supreme Punishment Divine Venerable arranging their actions.

Investigating the Great Dao Spirits' Domain was just a cover; the real thing to do was to build a good relationship with the Heavenly Dao.

Han Tuo said helplessly, "Alright, after we finish meeting all the Saints, we will return with the Heavenly Dao Saints."

Yi Tian chuckled, "Don't forget to recommend me to my godfather."

Han Tuo rolled his eyes.

The other three Divine Punishments teased Yi Tian.

…

In Qiankun Hall, the Saints gathered.

All those present were Heavenly Dao Sages; the Free and Unfettered Saints like Venerable Xuandu, Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate, and Pan Xin were nowhere to be seen.

The Saints were chatting amongst themselves. With dozens of Heavenly Dao Sages gathered here, it appeared quite lively.

The current circle of Saints had already split into several small cliques.

It is worth mentioning that these small cliques were all centered around the old-school Saints, seemingly pulling in factions and engaging in open and covert struggles.

At this moment, a ray of light appeared in front, revealing the figure of Venerable Xuandu.

As soon as Venerable Xuandu appeared, the great hall instantly fell silent.

"We are about to return from the Divine Spirits' Dao Field. Accompanying us this time are the five great divine punishments. They are transcendent existences that oversee all Great Dao Spirits. Everyone, prepare to receive them."

Venerable Xuandu said. As soon as these words were spoken, the Saints were in an uproar.

They had previously been worried that the Daoist in the Divine Robe was plotting something, insisting that the Free and Unfettered Saints go there in person.

Venerable Xuandu and the other Free and Unfettered Saints were also worried at first, but after learning the identities of the five great divine punishments, they were no longer worried.

Two of them actually came from the Heavenly Dao, and one of them was even the son of the Divine Might Heavenly Sage, so they naturally had no need to worry.

In fact, it was indeed so.

"Alright, everyone need not worry. The five great divine punishments are only coming as guests. It is likely they are wary of the Divine Might Heavenly Sage and want to come to ease the relationship between Chaos and the Heavenly Dao. At that time, there is no need for swords to be drawn and bows bent."

After Venerable Xuandu gave this reassurance, he disappeared.

Yang Che looked at Qiu Xilai and asked, "Senior, should we inform the Heavenly Sage about this?"

Qiu Xilai said, "Naturally not. Do you expect the Heavenly Sage to come and receive them in person? If they behave well, we can talk about whether they get to see the Heavenly Sage or not. The five great divine punishments, to put it bluntly, are just five Free and Unfettered Saints, while the Heavenly Sage has slain twenty thousand Great Dao Sages with his sword."

"Do you all know how strong a Great Dao Sage is? Senior Foolish Sword Divine Saint is a Great Dao Sage. That is equivalent to killing twenty thousand Senior Foolish Sword Divine Saints with one sword. By what right can the five great divine punishments directly see the Heavenly Sage?"
