Chapter 97: Deity Aptitude, Great Sage Green Python [Third Update]

Even a blade of grass can become a Bearer of Connate Providence?

How rare!

Han Jue immediately chose to view its background.

[Heaven and Earth Grass: Ten thousand years ago, it was originally an ordinary blade of grass. It happened to encounter a deity descending to the Mortal realm, meditating and experiencing an Epiphany around it. Having undergone a hundred years of Immortal Qi permeation, it gradually transcended mortality. Over the course of ten thousand years, it frequently suffered calamitous destructions. Before each destruction, it would instinctively turn into flying ash, scatter across the Mortal world, and regrow. This grass possesses the Aptitude to become a Divine Plant or even a deity.]

Deity Aptitude?

That is somewhat terrifying!

Han Jue raised an eyebrow.

Its vitality is truly vigorous, stubbornly surviving for ten thousand years.

Han Jue accepted the Heaven and Earth Grass and smiled at Xing Hongxuan, saying, "I have accepted this grass. How have you been these past few years?"

Xing Hongxuan was even happier and began to recount her experiences over the years.

Over these years, Xing Hongxuan had lived like the protagonist in a Xianxia novel, brandishing her sword to travel the ends of the earth, drawing her sword to help whenever she saw injustice, fighting Demonic Cultivators, breaking into Ancient Tombs, hunting down enemies, and slaughtering her way into the Yao domain, and so on.

It made even Han Jue want to go out and experience the world.

Wait!

Han Jue became vigilant.

This woman must have been arranged by the Heavenly Dao to bewitch him into going out.

His experiences over the past four hundred-odd years had been successful. Looking back, how many powerful enemies had turned into bones because they were unaware of his strength? Speaking of which, his enemies were considered few, numbering only a handful.

Look at Zhou Fan, Yang Tiandong, Chaos Heavenly Dog, Su Qi…

Every time he checked his mail, he could see them getting beaten up.

Li Qingzi had been the same previously; as long as he went out, trials would be ceaseless. Now that he stayed within the Jade Purity Sect every day, he fortunately did not get injured.

"Only after going out did I realize how small Great Yan is. Take West Abyss Prefecture for example; if the Jade Purity Sect were placed within West Abyss Prefecture, it wouldn't even count as a second-rate Sect. The Jade Purity Sect being able to have its current reputation relies entirely on Husband holding the fort. Regarding the Top One Hundred Cultivators of the World list that recently caused turmoil in the Cultivation World, I feel that Husband should top the list!"

The more Xing Hongxuan spoke, the more excited she became. Han Jue inexplicably thought of those people in his past life who returned to their hometowns after struggling in first-tier cities.

And what on earth was this Top One Hundred Cultivators of the World list?

Vulgar!

Han Jue did not value fame; he only valued benefits.

After Xing Hongxuan finished speaking, Han Jue took out some Medicinal Pills that increased lifespan from his storage ring and said, "These are for you. Your Aptitude is mediocre, and I am afraid you will die too early."

Xing Hongxuan rolled her eyes and said, "Husband only knows how to make fun of me."

"I am not, I am being serious."

"Rest assured, I have consumed them long ago, along with Heaven And Earth Treasures. My lifespan is still very long."

"That is good."

"Speaking of lifespan, your former Senior Brother Liu Sanxin of Yuyou Peak passed away decades ago. The Jade Purity Sect has too few longevity-increasing medicines. If he had left Great Yan earlier, perhaps he would have still had a sliver of a chance of survival."

Xing Hongxuan sighed with emotion, leaving Han Jue stunned for a moment.

He had always felt that a few people were missing from his friends list, but he couldn't remember who.

Mentioning Liu Sanxin, Han Jue still remembered that this Senior Brother had said he would take care of him.

Before he even had time to trouble him, he was already gone.

Han Jue said seriously, "Cultivate well, and do not become the next Senior Brother Liu."

"I cannot bear to leave the Mortal world. I still want to accompany Husband."

Afterward, Han Jue asked Xing Hongxuan to take out the Heavenly Puppet; he wanted to replenish the Spiritual Power of the Heavenly Puppet.

Spending several days, he filled the Heavenly Puppet with Six Paths Spiritual Power and let Xing Hongxuan put it back into her storage ring.

With the Heavenly Puppet around, Han Jue could also feel at ease letting her go out to experience the world.

Han Jue originally thought it would end just like that, but unexpectedly, Xing Hongxuan pestered him for another month.

Sigh.

After Xing Hongxuan left, Han Jue took out the Heaven and Earth Grass and planted it inside his Immortal Cave.

This grass was too small. If it were planted under the fusang tree, it might get trampled to death one day.

After planting it properly, Han Jue smiled with satisfaction.

He had been in a good mood lately; why not curse the Vermilion Bird and Mo Youling to liven things up?

…

Inside a subterranean cave, stalactites suspended from the ceiling looked hideous and terrifying, still dripping with water.

One of the inverted stalactites was tied with a blood-red tendon, binding two people at its lower end—they were none other than Zhou Fan and Mo Fuchou. Both of them had disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and bodies covered in blood. Beneath the two of them was a large cauldron, inside of which turbid, oily water was boiling.

Looking around, the subterranean cave was filled with demons, countless in number, most of whom were dozing off.

Zhou Fan gritted his teeth as he looked in that direction, where a transformed giant demon sat. Even while sitting, it was fifty feet tall with a strong Physical Body, wearing heavy armor transformed from snake scales, and bearing an ugly, ferocious snake head.

Standing beside the snake demon was a figure—precisely Han Jue's eldest Disciple, Yang Tiandong.

"Bah! Lackeys of demons!"

Zhou Fan cursed, his mood extremely displeased.

Mo Fuchou sighed and said, "We cannot entirely blame him. If anyone is to be blamed, it's our own bad luck for accidentally trespassing into the territory of Great Sage Green Python, and you being rash enough to kill their patrolling demon scout, Xiaozhuanfeng."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fan became even angrier and cursed, "That fellow was too arrogant, calling us Mortals with every breath and demanding that we kneel and beg for mercy. How could anyone endure that?"

Mo Fuchou gave a bitter smile; it was too late to say anything now.

On the other side.

Great Sage Green Python laughed heartily and said, "Dong'er, tell me, how should we dispose of these two? Should we boil them, or refine them into Medicinal Pills?"

Yang Tiandong frowned and said helplessly, "Adoptive Father, must you kill them?"

"They killed this king's demon soldiers and must die. Dong'er, if you want to inherit this king's power, you must sever ties with the Human Race. Humans and demons are irreconcilable; this is the rule of the Heavenly Dao, and you cannot waver."

Hearing the words of Great Sage Green Python, Yang Tiandong inwardly cursed, "You think this Laozi wants to be a demon?"

Hearing Zhou Fan cursing at him, Yang Tiandong felt even more heartbroken.

Back then, he and Zhou Fan were captured by the Straw Cloak Holy Sect, resisting together and taking beatings together with deep brotherhood. Now, for the sake of surviving, to make him watch Zhou Fan and the other get boiled to death alive—how could he face the Jade Purity Sect, how could he face Han Jue?

"One day, when I become a Demon Saint, I will definitely slaughter all you Demon Kings!"

Yang Tiandong was so angered that his chest felt tight.

The reason he left Great Yan was precisely because Demon King Diansu monopolized control over the Yao Race and he couldn't gain power, which was why he thought of venturing into the territory of other Yao Races.

Fighting all the way, he had managed with great difficulty to take command of a demon army, only to encounter Great Sage Green Python.

Great Sage Green Python commanded a million demon troops and held extremely high prestige within the Yao Race across the world. Yang Tiandong couldn't even withstand a single move when facing him.

Great Sage Green Python felt that his Bloodline and Aptitude were not bad, so he took him in as an adoptive son. To survive, he could only live by submitting, waiting for a chance to escape or counter-kill, after which he encountered Zhou Fan and the other being captured.

Such a twist of fate made Yang Tiandong feel extremely distressed.

"Or should I ask Master for help?"

Such a thought popped into Yang Tiandong's mind, but it was quickly dismissed by him.

He must never trouble Master!

Right at this moment.

An eagle demon flew over and shouted loudly, "Great King, a Cultivator calling himself Dongwangxian of the Formless Sect is shouting outside, wanting to slaughter all of us to avenge his Master! He is too strong! The little ones cannot hold him off!"

Upon hearing this, Great Sage Green Python's expression sank, and he cold-snorted, "The Formless Sect? Perfect, this king has a grudge against Old Monster Wudao!"

He suddenly stood up, and a terrifying Demonic Qi erupted, startling the entire subterranean cave into trembling.

"Dong'er, you stay right here and watch over them well. When this king returns, I hope they are already in the pot!"

Great Sage Green Python transformed into a wisp of cyan Demonic Qi and vanished into thin air.

Yang Tiandong looked back at Zhou Fan and the other two, falling into a fierce internal struggle.

Should he take this opportunity to save them?
