Chapter 973 A Family with Two Fortunes, an Unparalleled Opportunity

Chapter 973: A Family with Two Great Fortunes, a Tremendous Opportunity

Heavenly Court.

In the Imperial Garden, Han Jue and Emperor Xie Tian clinked cups and enjoyed their wine. Han Ling sat quietly beside them, not spacing out, but attentively listening to the conversation between the two elders.

Emperor Xie Tian looked at Han Ling and sighed, “Han Jue, your children are truly gifted. If Ling'er didn’t still need to cultivate with you, I’d want to poach her to become a deity in the Heavenly Court.”

Han Jue smiled and said, “That depends on her own wishes.”

Han Ling replied, “Thank you for your Majesty’s kindness. Ling’er intends to cultivate with Father forever and has no interest in venturing into the Chaos.”

Emperor Xie Tian raised an eyebrow, looking at Han Ling with surprise.

Han Jue felt a sense of relief in his heart; a little cotton jacket was truly wonderful.

If all his children were poached by Emperor Xie Tian, he would still feel a bit jealous.

At this moment, Han Huang, Han Qing’er, and Jiang Jueshi arrived.

Upon seeing Han Jue, the three quickly knelt and bowed.

Han Jue smiled and introduced Han Ling to them.

“Little sister!”

Han Qing’er exclaimed in surprise and immediately took Han Ling’s arm.

Han Huang also felt a closeness in their bloodline and immediately pulled out a magic treasure as a见面礼 (jìanmiànlǐ – first-meeting gift).

Jiang Jueshi, however, was slightly moved. He sensed a familiar aura from Han Ling.

A Great Fortune!

This girl was also born with a Great Fortune!

Jiang Jueshi couldn't help but look at Han Jue, his eyes filled with reverence.

Master can already obtain Great Fortunes for his children?

For some reason, he suddenly felt that Master resembled the elderly master from his memories.

Perhaps he was overthinking it.

After all, millions of years had already passed.

Han Jue had Jiang Jueshi and the other two sit down, and he began to inquire about their cultivation.

“Father, I am only one step away from the Great Dao Supreme. I will definitely attain the Supreme realm before the Chaos Grand Assembly. I want the throne of the Eternal Apex. However, I might have to represent the Heavenly Court. Anyway, you have countless disciples, and I am your son. It’s a win-win situation, but reputation is more important for the Heavenly Court,” Han Huang said with a chuckle.

Han Jue smiled and nodded, thinking that Emperor Xie Tian had some tricks up his sleeve, probably having poured his heart out to Han Huang to make this brash young man care so much.

Han Qing’er pouted and said, “I’ve only just attained the Freedom realm. I can’t compare to Second Brother and Senior Brother Jiang. Perhaps even Little Sister Ling’er will surpass me in the future.”

“That’s not bad either.”

Han Jue nodded slightly, his gaze falling upon Jiang Jueshi.

Jiang Jueshi said, “My current cultivation is at the mid-stage of the Great Dao Primordial Chaos Realm. I no longer dare to aspire to the Eternal Apex; Junior Brother Huang is too powerful. But I will definitely have a place among the Ten Chaos Absolutes.”

Han Ling stared at Jiang Jueshi, deep in thought.

Han Jue smiled and said, “Both you and Ling’er are born with Great Fortunes. You must cultivate diligently, or Ling’er might catch up to you.”

Indeed!

Jiang Jueshi thought to himself.

Emperor Xie Tian’s eyes lit up. He said, “Born with a Great Fortune? Could it be that the mysterious prodigy widely rumored in the Chaos recently is Ling’er? Calculating the time, their appearances indeed coincide.”

Han Huang couldn't help but re-examine his sister.

Han Qing’er’s eyes brightened, and she exclaimed, “Wow! Little sister, you also possess a Great Fortune like Senior Brother Jiang? His Reincarnation Great Fortune technique is incredibly abnormal. What kind of Great Fortune do you have?”

Han Ling looked at Han Jue.

Han Jue said, “I cannot say for now. Ling’er will cultivate with me, and one day it will be revealed.”

Jiang Jueshi asked curiously, “Then, will Junior Sister Ling’er participate in this Chaos Grand Assembly?”

Han Jue shook his head.

Although Han Ling was curious about the Chaos Grand Assembly, she left the matter entirely to her father, so she didn't say anything.

Emperor Xie Tian sighed, “Han Jue, oh Han Jue, it seems your realm has already surpassed our imagination, which is why your children’s talents are getting higher and higher.”

Everyone looked at Han Jue.

Han Jue smiled and said, “It’s alright. How are the discussions for Huang’er’s marriage progressing?”

Upon hearing this, Han Huang shivered and exclaimed excitedly, “Father, I don’t want to take a wife! In my eyes, living beings are not of my kind. How can I be intimate with them?!”

Han Ling’s eyes lit up, and she looked at Han Huang with a hint of surprise.

Throughout her journey, she had seen a great deal and felt no affinity for the beings of Chaos or the Heavenly Dao, even finding it difficult to identify with them.

It turned out she wasn't the only one; her second brother felt the same way.

Han Jue frowned.

Han Qing’er quickly tried to persuade him, “Second Brother, Father has only ever asked you to do this one thing – to take a wife. Others would be thrilled!”

Han Huang’s heart indeed skipped a beat when he saw Han Jue frown.

That’s right.

This was the only thing Father had ever asked of him.

Han Huang struggled for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, “Alright!”

Only then did Han Jue relax his brows.

And so, Han Jue and his daughter stayed in the Heavenly Court. Han Ling was pulled around by Han Qing’er, while Han Huang and Jiang Jueshi began to cultivate in seclusion again, preparing for the Chaos Grand Assembly.

Han Jue and Emperor Xie Tian engaged in a discussion of the Dao. Although it was called a discussion, it was actually Han Jue offering guidance to Emperor Xie Tian, who readily accepted.

The guidance of the strongest in Chaos was a rare and invaluable opportunity!

… In the lower reaches of Chaos, a vast fog billowed.

Dao Zhizun, Zhao XuanYuan, Jiang Yi, and Lao Dan cultivated around a small spring.

This small spring was less than half a zhang in diameter, with water gushing from underground. The surface of the water gently undulated, and mist rose from its edges. It looked no different from a spring in the mortal world, but it appeared particularly out of place here.

Within a radius of ten thousand li, not a single blade of grass grew, and there was no sign of life. This was the only water source in the area.

Zhao XuanYuan opened his eyes and exclaimed excitedly, “My cultivation is increasing so quickly!”

Jiang Yi smiled and said, “Who isn’t? My Divine Sun Indestructible Body has strengthened a lot. Not only my cultivation, but my aptitude is also growing.”

Lao Dan opened his eyes and sighed, “It is truly extraordinary, a great opportunity, a tremendous opportunity. But it’s only enough for the four of us.”

“What? You still want to recommend it to the Three Pure Saint Realm?”

“How could that be! This old man has no connection with the Three Pure Saint Realm, I’ve said it countless times!”

“Haha, then why were you so nervous when my master defeated Laozi?”

“There’s at least some connection to my true self; how could I not be worried?”

Zhao XuanYuan and Lao Dan began their habitual bickering.

Just then.

The water surface suddenly rippled, and a figure appeared within it.

“Look quickly!”

Jiang Yi exclaimed, and the other three immediately looked at the water surface.

The figure that appeared in the water was a bizarre entity covered in white fur. Its upper body resembled a human, its arms like tree branches, and its white fur twisted with the undulations of the water. It looked like nothing more than a strange, hairy figure.

The four frowned; this was the first time they had seen such an anomaly.

Just then, the white-furred figure suddenly opened a pair of eyes, emitting a strange green light that captivated the soul.

It opened its mouth, revealing two rows of sharp, shark-like teeth, seemingly speaking.

Dao Zhizun and the other three couldn’t understand or see through it.

Zhao XuanYuan suddenly shivered and said, “Everyone, do you remember Gu Huang?”

Whoosh—

The four simultaneously jumped back, distancing themselves from the small spring.

Jiang Yi swallowed hard and said, “How about we leave?”

Dao Zhizun frowned and said, “Such a treasure, are you willing to give it up?”

Zhao XuanYuan covered his forehead, “Here we go again.”

“Indeed, I’m not willing,” Lao Dan sighed.

Knowing the danger, yet compelled to enter, this feeling was truly unbearable.

Suddenly!

The white-furred figure actually climbed out of the spring. First its arms, then its head. The opening formed by the spring’s surface was clearly much smaller than its body, and it was stuck at the spring’s edge, silently staring at Dao Zhizun and the other three.
