With the addition of Long Hao, the Cultivate Diligently Become Immortal Mountain became lively. At first, Chu Shiren was the most interested in Long Hao and chased him all day.
It was only when he came to the Connate Cave Abode and complained that Han Jue let the Three-Headed Wyrm King take care of Long Hao and forbade people from approaching him.
Chu Shiren actually urged Long Hao not to cultivate. This made him extremely disgusted.
Han Jue didn't pay too much attention to Long Hao.
He would leave the matter of raising the child to the others. In Han Jue's opinion, Long Hao was only a guest. He couldn't stay by his side forever and wouldn't treat him like an elder in the future.
In Long Hao's heart, the most important person was definitely the Heavenly Emperor.
Han Jue didn't try to teach Long Hao anything. If he really changed, the Heavenly Emperor would definitely notice.
Cultivation was the most important!
Long Hao's appearance made Han Jue think of many things.
The position of Heavenly Emperor could actually be changed!
If Hao Tian awakened, he might covet the Heavenly Emperor position again!
What Han Jue wanted to do was to become stronger before the Heavenly Emperor's fall. By then, even if he didn't rely on the Heavenly Court, no one would dare to provoke him.
…
Another ten years passed.
Han Jue woke up from his cultivation. He took out the Book of Misfortune and started cursing the enemy.
While cursing, he checked his emails.
[Your good friend Ji Xianshen was attacked by a mighty figure of the Immortal World and was severely injured.]
[Your good friend Sword God Emperor was attacked by demon beasts] x270321
[Your good friend Sword God Emperor was attacked by a Demon Race's Immortal Emperor and was severely injured.]
[Your disciple Xun Chang'an's Dao Heart has transformed and awakened a relic.]
[Your divine pet, the Chaotic Heavenly Dog, chanced upon an opportunity and obtained an Ancient Demon King's Golden Core.]
[Your good friend Marshal Shen Peng was attacked by Heavenly Troops] x103872
[Your good friend Marshal Shen Peng was attacked by your good friend, the Divine General. He was severely injured.]
[Your good friend Zhou Fan obtained a fortuitous encounter. His Domination Physique has transformed.]
…
The Heavenly Court was in chaos?
Ji Xianshen got injured!
Han Jue noticed Marshal Shen Peng's miserable situation and couldn't help but blame himself.
It was definitely related to him complaining earlier.
Although he blamed himself, Han Jue didn't regret it.
If Marshal Shen Peng really destroyed the Heavenly Court, he would lose his backing.
Moreover, the Heavenly Court definitely had its own considerations. They couldn't kill a god just because of a word from him.
However, Zhou Fan impressed him.
This fellow directly skipped the Heavenly Tribulation and went to the Immortal World to play.
Amazing!
Without Zhou Fan's company, would Mo Fuchou be lonely?
Han Jue thought.
Several months later, he put down the Book of Misfortune and took out the Heavenly Dao Token to check the rankings on the Heavenly Dao Tablet.
Han Jue felt depressed.
The ranking rose again!
No. 1997!
It rose another few hundred places!
How ridiculous.
Han Jue felt that the Scarlet Cloud World was stirring up trouble.
If this continued, it would attract attention sooner or later.
Not only Heavenly Court, but there were also other large forces.
Previously, a mysterious Sacred Dynasty had come to destroy the Heavenly Court's mortal world.
Han Jue could only pray that the mortal worlds higher in the ranking were powerful and difficult to surpass.
Then, Han Jue stood up and came to the Nine Heavens Galaxy Water.
Li Yao was still cultivating.
Han Jue found it strange. Li Tianxin arranged a marriage for her, but why was she so indifferent?
Wait!
This fellow had actually broken through to the Loose Immortal Realm!
Interesting!
No wonder she was so fearless.
Han Jue watched for a while before returning to cultivate.
Li Yao's appearance was just like entertainment to him. It was like watching a drama. He didn't want to participate and only wanted to watch.
"She has already broken through to the Loose Immortal Realm. You have to hurry," Han Jue said to Dao Comprehension Sword.
Dao Comprehension Sword curled her lips and said, "The Heavenly Sword Dao is too difficult to cultivate. It's delaying my cultivation realm."
"Then increase your cultivation level first and cultivate later."
"Then, I can definitely break through to the Loose Immortal Realm!"
"I don't want to hear 'can', but 'soon'."
"Fine."
Dao Comprehension Sword was agitated. She couldn't lose to that woman!
Han Jue smiled in satisfaction.
Dao Comprehension Sword's potential was still very strong. In addition to the Spirit Qi of the Cultivate Diligently Become Immortal Mountain, her cultivation speed was naturally not slow. However, she had been comprehending the Heavenly Sword Dao.
…
Numinous Palace.
The Heavenly Emperor sat on the Emperor's throne. There were only two immortals in the hall: Di Taibai and the Divine General.
Di Taibai asked, "Divine General, has Marshal Shen Peng confessed?"
The Divine General replied, "No. He doesn't want to talk about the faction behind him, but I'm guessing it's related to the Buddhists. His master should be one of the Great Buddhas. He's very likely the Supreme Buddha who has disappeared for a long time."
Supreme Buddha!
Di Taibai's expression changed slightly.
The Heavenly Emperor said slowly, "If it's the Supreme Buddha, it might not be related to the Buddhists. I'm thinking that other than the Divine Palace, Buddhist Sect, and Demon Court, there might be another behemoth hiding in the dark, such as the Three Factions of the Dao Sect who were desolate during the Divine Investiture Calamity."
His tone was calm, but it moved Di Taibai and the Divine General.
The Divine Investiture Calamity was a legendary calamity. It had occurred deep in the long river of history.
The Divine General frowned. "Didn't the Dao Ancestor order the Dao Sect to no longer participate in the battle of the Heavenly Dao?"
The Heavenly Emperor replied, "That was in the past. Now that the Dao Ancestor has been in seclusion for countless years, if the ancient existences of the Dao Sect want to break through to become stronger, they have to fight for the providence of the Heavenly Dao. The Dao Lord's arrival was a sign."
Di Taibai frowned and asked, "Then, what should we do about the Heavenly Court? There are too many Immortal Gods of the Dao Sect mixed into the Heavenly Court. During the Ancient Divine Investiture Battle, the Dao Ancestor forced the cultivators of the Three Factions of the Dao Sect to become gods of the Heavenly Court. If the Dao Sect makes a comeback, they will definitely defect."
"What's there to be afraid of? The Heavenly Court has the Four Extreme Emperors, three Divine Generals, and 36 Immortal Monarchs, and prodigies like Han Jue are still growing. I have long prepared for such concerns!" the Heavenly Emperor said domineeringly, not afraid of the Three Factions of the Dao Sect at all.
The Divine General asked, "How's Han Jue's cultivation?"
Di Taibai stroked his beard and smiled. "He killed a Mystic Immortal not long ago."
"That's not bad."
"This child's personality is the opposite of yours. He's suitable to guard the Heavenly Court in the future."
"Yes, I also think highly of him. Although he likes to cultivate diligently, he's definitely not afraid of trouble when it comes."
The Divine General smiled and looked forward to Han Jue's future.
The Heavenly Emperor said, "Continue the investigation. All the immortals and gods colluding with Marshal Shen Peng have to be investigated clearly. If they resist, kill them directly. It's time for the parasites to be purged. In addition, investigate some of Jade Emperor Hao Tian's old accomplices. If there are still ancient gods who believe in him, record them down. I'll remove their Divine Positions."
Di Taibai hurriedly replied, "Yes!"
The Divine General added, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as I'm here, I will ensure that Your Majesty's position will last forever!"
His expression was solemn and his eyes were determined.
…
Spring passed and autumn came. Another twenty years passed.
Han Jue had yet to break through, but his Dharmic powers were constantly increasing. The time needed to defeat Di Taibai was also decreasing.
On this day.
Han Jue was cursing the enemy when he suddenly felt a terrifying pressure envelop the Scarlet Cloud World. This pressure was only directed at the immortals, so mortals couldn't sense it.
Han Jue hurriedly checked the strongest person around the Scarlet Cloud World.
[Dragon Subduing Buddha: Late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, Divine Buddha of the Buddhist Sect]
Han Jue frowned. Divine Buddha of the Buddhist Sect?
He immediately thought of Xun Chang'an.
Was he here to find him?
Han Jue searched for the other party's location and found that the Dragon Subduing Buddha was in the void, stopped by the Flame Lord Emperor.
The two of them were both at the late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm and were at odds.
