Chapter 1: Eleven Years of Rolling the Dice, Today Is the Lucky Day
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
[Name: Han Jue]
[Lifespan: 11 / 65]
[Race: Mortal]
[Cultivation: None]
[Technique: None]
[Magic: None]
[Mystical Power: None]
[Equipment: None]
[Cultivation Potential: Extremely Bad (Click to roll the dice)]
[Connate Providence is as follows (Click to roll the dice)]
[Earth and Wood Spiritual Powers: Earth and Wood Cultivation Potential strengthened]
[Spear Dao Spirit Child: Spear Dao aptitude strengthened, physique strengthened.]
[Click here to start your thrilling life]Looking at the attributes list in front of him, the 11-year-old Han Jue almost lost all hope.
Cultivation Potential and Connate Providence could be randomly changed every day by rolling the dice. However, each could only be changed once, and they could be refreshed every day at seven in the morning.
Han Jue had been refreshing since he was born.
It had been eleven years, but he still hadn't managed to produce the best attributes and Connate Providence.
"Should I just start like this?"
A thought popped up in Han Jue's mind.
No!
It wasn't easy for him to come to a world of immortals and ghosts. How could it allow mortals to cultivate?
Han Jue wanted to be the almighty protagonist!
Roll the dice again!
Han Jue raised his hand and clicked at the attributes list in front of him.
Cultivation Potential changed!
[Cultivation Potential: None]
Han Jue's young face instantly darkened.
Again!
[Destined Lone Star: Brings bad luck to friends and family. Loneliness for life. Lifespan increased by 100 years]
F*ck!
Even Destined Lone Star had appeared!
Who wants to be alone for life!
Han Jue was so angry that he laid down and rolled on the grass.
For an entire eleven years, he was unable to produce any outstanding Cultivation Potential and Connate Providence!
No!
Continue rolling the dice!
I don't believe it!
Han Jue trembled in anger.
After half an hour, he finally got up.
Han Jue was a reborn person. In his previous life, he lived in the 21st century on Earth. At a young age, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He didn't want to undergo painful treatment and went home to wait for death. That night, to numb himself, he found an old-school cultivation game to play.
He played all night and was very hyped up. He got sleepy at dawn and thus died.
When he opened his eyes again, he was reincarnated into this ancient world. He was born into a cultivation sect.
The Jade Pure Sect was a righteous cultivation sect of the Great Yan Dynasty.
On the day that he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, Han Jue was terrified. This was the first time he knew that life was so important.
But now in his new life, he could actually cultivate!
He was pleasantly surprised!
He had to cultivate!
He wanted to live longer than anyone else!
However, he couldn't cultivate as a mortal!
Ever since he was born, Han Jue had been living without any pressure. His parents were the servants of Elder Iron, an Alchemy Master of the Jade Pure Sect's outer sect. They usually planted medicinal herbs for Elder Iron.
An alchemist's status was special. In the outer sect, no one dared to offend Elder Iron. He had dozens of servants under him, all of whom were mortals.
Even if they had cultivation potential, Elder Iron wouldn't allow his servants to cultivate. He was probably afraid they would steal his herbs.
His herbs were beneficial to cultivators, but to mortals, they were poison.
However, when he was six years old, his parents fled, leaving the young Han Jue in Elder Iron's herb garden.
Han Jue could understand. It would definitely be inconvenient to escape with a child.
Elder Iron didn't mind. Instead, he asked someone to guide Han Jue in helping him grow the herbs.
As time passed, Han Jue became familiar with all the plants in the herb garden.
Elder Iron didn't make things difficult for Han Jue, and Han Jue continued to roll his dice.
Since he was a mortal now, he might as well wait.
"Sigh, I will just keep rolling. If I can't produce a heaven-defying Providence before the age of thirty, then forget it. Even if I'm gonna cultivate as a mortal, so be it."
Han Jue thought silently.
The oldest servant in the herbal garden was in his seventies. He was called Old Man Wang. He had been chosen by Elder Iron when he was in his teens. Now, he was the leader of the servants. All the servants followed his lead.
Han Jue stood up and returned to the herb garden. He began to sprinkle water and clean up the dead leaves.
The herb garden was huge, as big as a football field. Every servant was very careful when they worked. If they accidentally damaged the plants, Elder Iron would be furious. Some of the herbs were even poisonous.
Elder Iron had only gone out last month and would probably take two to three years to return.
To cultivators, two or three years were nothing at all.
In the herb garden, Han Jue was a man of few words. He didn't have many friends and only interacted with Old Man Wang.
After he was done, he returned to his room and started doing push-ups to train his body.The next morning, Han Jue washed up.
Then, he sat on the wooden bed and waited.
Han Jue waited until the time when the attributes list was refreshed before he perked up.
It felt like a lottery draw.
This was what he looked forward to the most every day.
He rubbed his hands together.
First, he was going to roll the dice for Cultivation Potential.
[Cultivation Potential: None]
F*ck!
This is too despicable!
Han Jue almost died of anger.
His hands began to tremble as he continued to draw out the Connate Providence!
The die rolled!
[Connate Providence is as follows]
[Unparalleled: Immortal beauty, top-notch charm]
[Destined Sword Fanatic: Top-notch Sword Dao aptitude, top-notch Sword Dao learning ability]
[Unparalleled Movement Technique: Top-notch movement technique aptitude]
[Descendant of the Immortal Emperor: After the game begins, you will receive an unparalleled cultivation technique and 1,000 superior-grade spirit stones.]
Han Jue was stunned.
His eyes widened in surprise.
Four Connate Providences!
This was the first time four Connate Providences had been produced, and they all looked very impressive.
Han Jue became more and more excited.
This is it!
No!
They are it!
Four top-notch, one unparalleled!
One look and one could tell that it was extraordinary.
After rolling the dice for eleven years, day after day, the goddess of fortune was finally blessing him!
Han Jue tried hard to calm down.
Without a Cultivation Potential, he couldn't start his game life yet.
He still had to roll the dice for the Cultivation Potential.
"Finally, I'm seeing a silver lining. With these four supreme-grade Connate Providences, even if I start cultivating at the age of 40, I can still make it in time. I can rest assured and continue rolling the dice for Cultivation Potential."
Han Jue was in a good mood when he thought of this.
He had been rolling for eleven years, so what if it would take another eleven years?
Han Jue let out a long sigh, then got up and left the room to begin his day's work.
Six people were living in the house with him, and each of them had a bed. The others had woken up early in the morning.
Everyone had a region they were responsible for, so they didn't dare to make any mistakes.
Han Jue was still young and only needed to do some simple work. Elder Iron didn't dare to let him be in charge of an area.
The sun was exceptionally bright today.
Perhaps it had something to do with his mood.
The other servants didn't feel Han Jue's change. He hadn't started his thrilling life yet, so the enhancements due to the Connate Providence hadn't appeared yet.
Noon.
Two cultivators arrived.
The Jade Pure Sect was very big. The herb garden was surrounded by mountains. Cultivators weren't allowed to come here. Most of the time, the outer sect deacons would be the ones who came to ask for pills. These two cultivators had excellent temperaments. One was a man and the other was a woman. They looked like an immortal couple, attracting the attention of all the servants.
Han Jue also turned to look at the entrance of the herb garden.
"How glamorous."
Han Jue sighed.
The clothes of the servants were tattered, and the clothes of the two cultivators were clean and gorgeous. They looked like NPCs from an online cultivation game.
It was just a random exclamation. He didn't feel envious at all.
He had already obtained four Connate Providences, and his future achievements were not something that the outer sect disciples of the Jade Pure Sect could compare to.
The male cultivator expressionlessly said to Old Man Wang, "From today onwards, the two of us will be responsible for protecting Elder Iron's medicinal herb garden. You don't need to be bothered by us. Also, don't disturb our cultivation."

Chapter 2: Spiritual Physique of the Six Paths, Top-notch Cultivation Potential
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Did something happen to Elder Iron?" Old Man Wang asked cautiously.
Although Elder Iron was temperamental, Old Man Wang had accompanied him for decades and naturally did not wish for anything to happen to him.
The female cultivator shook her head and said, "The Jade Pure Sect has recently been infiltrated by a fiendish cultivator. The outer sect has specially sent the two of us to protect you. You don't have to worry."
Old Man Wang heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
He cupped his hands and bowed, then turned and left.
The two cultivators walked away and meditated under the trees on both sides of the entrance into the herb garden.
As they began their breathing exercises, visible whirlwinds appeared around them.
That must be Spirit Qi.
Han Jue thought silently and continued sprinkling water.The next day.
Han Jue continued rolling the dice.
[Cultivation Potential: None]
Han Jue rolled his eyes.
He actually didn't find it strange.
He did not panic. In any case, he had obtained four top-notch Connate Providences, he could take his time in getting the best Cultivation Potential.
The presence of the two cultivators did not change the lives of the herb garden servants.
The dull life continued.
Apart from his work, Han Jue trained his body and rolled the dice every day.
The third day.
He rolled the dice!
[Cultivation Potential: None]
Fine!
I know you're messing with me!
Han Jue cursed in his head.
On the fourth day.
[Cultivation Potential: Five Elements Mixed Potential. Cultivation cannot exceed Foundational Establishment.]
Yes, the standard for mortal cultivation.
Han Jue shook his head.
He still had to continue rolling the dice. He would never allow himself to cultivate as a mortal.
Just like that, Han Jue exercised every day and rolled the dice every day.
Most of the time, he would obtain Mixed Potential.
He wasn't discouraged. He believed that he would be able to obtain a godlike Cultivation Potential.
It was fine to cultivate later.
Anyway, he wasn't seeking revenge.Two years later.
Elder Iron returned and the two cultivators bowed and bid farewell.
All the servants gathered and knelt down before Elder Iron.
Elder Iron wore a black robe, and two gourds were hanging from his waist. His hair was black and white, and his expression was gloomy and fierce. He looked very bad-tempered indeed.
"Not bad, no mistakes."
Elder Iron looked around and smiled in satisfaction.
The servants heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.
Elder Iron looked at Han Jue and the other youngsters beside him.
"The four of you, follow me."
Elder Iron pointed and walked towards his pavilion.
Han Jue was one of the four.
They immediately followed.
"He wants to arrange for us to be in charge of a portion of the garden?" Han Jue thought silently.
He suddenly noticed that blood was dripping from Elder Iron's right hand.
Han Jue was shocked.
Could it be that Elder Iron was injured and wanted to make them into puppets or use them as ingredients for pills?
Han Jue had read many cultivation novels in his previous life. The one thing that left the deepest impression on him was that cultivators would rather kill their friends than die themselves.
To cultivators, nothing was more important than their own lives.
The more Han Jue thought about it, the more panicked he became. He didn't dare to escape and could only try his best to calm himself down.
After entering the house, a youngster closed the door.
Elder Iron sat at the end of the table and scrutinized Han Jue and the others.
"All of you, stretch out your hands." Elder Iron instructed.
Han Jue and the others raised their right hands.
Elder Iron touched them one by one.
Han Jue could feel the goosebumps on his arm.
"Only you have a cultivation potential. The rest can go back," Elder Iron said to a tall and strong youth.
Han Jue heaved a sigh of relief.
This morning, he rolled the dice for the Cultivation Potential again. Yesterday, he still had a Quadruple Cultivation Potential, but today, it was gone.
Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise.
Han Jue looked at the youngster sympathetically.
Zhang Ge, a passionate and popular teenager who liked pigeons.
The other two youngsters looked at Zhang Ge with envy.
Zhang Ge was both excited and nervous.
Elder Iron didn't allow servants to cultivate, but this was also the first time he checked the servants' cultivation potential.
After leaving the pavilion, Han Jue ignored the discussion of the other two youngsters and returned to work.
From then on, Zhang Ge no longer participated in the labor.
It turned out that Elder Iron had taken him in as a disciple. This made the other servants even more envious and jealous.
Han Jue wasn't envious at all.
It must be a trap!
He would first nurture him before killing him!
Han Jue was glad that he wasn't chosen.
He had the system, so he didn't need a master.In the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.
Elder Iron left the herb garden again half a year ago. After he had left, the two cultivators from before came to protect the herb garden again.
Zhang Ge was already a cultivator. So, he even went forth to talk with the two cultivators.
All the slaves had to obey him now.
Fortunately, Zhang Ge was busy cultivating and did not bully other servants.
They were slaves for the rest of their lives. Elder Iron often went out, and they weren't allowed to leave the herb garden. There were no conflicts of interest, so there were very few quarrels.
Han Jue was already 15 years old and still kept a low profile.
In the past four years, the best Cultivation Potential he rolled was a Triple Cultivation Potential. He could reach the Golden Core Realm with it.
The Golden Core realm was nothing!
Han Jue's goal was to live forever and become immortal.
That morning.
Han Jue rolled the dice casually. He didn't have any expectations. It was like getting up every day to rinse his mouth.
[Cultivation Potential: Water and Wood double cultivation potential. Extraordinary aptitude. There's hope to cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm.]
Double Cultivation Potential?
Nascent Soul realm?
Hope?
Han Jue clicked his tongue, completely unmoved.
He was only fifteen. He could roll the dice for another fifteen years.
Continue rolling the dice!Spring passed and autumn came.
Another year passed.
Han Jue rolled the dice every morning as usual.
[Cultivation Potential: Spiritual Physique of the Six Paths. It contains top-notch wind, fire, water, earth, wood, and thunder cultivation potentials. Increases providence to a certain extent.]
Just this?
Han Jue scoffed subconsciously.
Wait!
It's this!
Han Jue's eyes widened and his breathing quickened.
It's here!
It's been sixteen years!
Finally, a protagonist's Cultivation Potential!
Han Jue rubbed his eyes and confirmed carefully.
Top-grade cultivation potential!
And it was a top-grade cultivation potential with six attributes!
"Hmph…"
Han Jue tried hard to calm down.
Finally!
This is it!
This was the spirit root aptitude that he should have!
Han Jue didn't immediately click to start the life of games. He was afraid that the commotion would be too big. After all, two cultivators were guarding the door.
"Here comes the question. How long do I have to wait?"
Han Jue was in a dilemma.
A line of words suddenly appeared in front of him:
[You can choose a small place. The system will help you create a barrier. The cultivators outside the barrier will not be able to sense the changes within the barrier.]
Han Jue was pleasantly surprised. He immediately walked to the door. After confirming that all the servants had gone to the herb garden, he closed the door.
He stood in the middle of the room and pulled up the stats list. His fingers trembled as he clicked on the bottom line: [Click here to start the life of games].
Successful!
The attributes list changed.
Lines of words appeared in front of Han Jue:
[Beginning Life of Games]
[Recount of your life]
[Han Jue, you were born in a Cultivation Sect in the mortal world. From a young age, you were exceptionally beautiful and loved by everyone. Your parents abandoned you when you were young. It was as if you had a destiny for something. You have a talent that surpasses the rest of the world in the art of the sword. You can often feel that the world contains six mysterious powers that you cannot grasp or see…]
[Until today, you accidentally awakened the Immortal Emperor's inheritance and obtained the unparalleled "Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique". Because of this, you embarked on the path of cultivation.]
[Please choose your main cultivation route.]

Chapter 3: Seventh Level of the Qi Refinement Realm, Too Charming
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cultivation specialization?
Han Jue didn't hesitate too much.
He noticed that he had obtained the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique, which was most likely related to the Spiritual Physique of the Six Paths. The aptitudes of the six top-notch cultivation potentials had to be developed together. He wanted a holistic development.
At the same time, he possessed top-notch talent in swordsmanship, so he naturally had to choose sword cultivation!
After Han Jue figured it out, he immediately clicked on [Swordsman].
In an instant, a strange heat surged within his body.
He fell into a trance.
It was like a dream. It was very long, but he couldn't remember what happened in the dream.
When he opened his eyes again, Han Jue was covered in sweat.
The screen in front of him had become a list of attributes:
[Name: Han Jue]
[Lifespan: 11 / 65]
[Race: Mortal]
[Cultivation: None]
[Technique: Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique (Can be inherited)]
[Magic: None]
[Mystical Power: None]
[Equipment: None]
[Cultivation Potential: Spiritual Physique of the Six Paths. It contains top-notch wind, fire, water, earth, wood, and thunder cultivation potentials. Increases providence to a certain extent.]
[Connate Providence is as follows]
[Unparalleled: Immortal beauty, top-notch charm]
[Destined Sword Fanatic: Top-notch Sword Dao aptitude, top-notch Sword Dao learning ability]
[Unparalleled Movement Technique: Top-notch movement technique aptitude]
[Descendant of the Immortal Emperor: After the game begins, you will receive an unparalleled cultivation technique and 1,000 superior-grade spirit stones.]
[Check interpersonal relationships]Han Jue wasn't in a hurry to inherit the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique. Instead, he clicked on the [interpersonal relationships] at the bottom.
The screen changed and a photo of a person appeared.
It looked exactly like Elder Iron.
[Elder Iron: Seventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm. He hates you. If you have cultivation potential he would definitely scheme against you. Hatred level: 1 star.]
"F*ck, I worked so hard for you and you still hate me?"
Han Jue cursed in his head.
Then, he calmed down.
This is so useful!
I can see what others think of me.
But why is there no one else?
Mortals aren't included?
Does Zhang Ge have no thoughts about me?
Han Jue couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think too much about it. He pushed open the door first and realized that it was almost noon. He couldn't be lazy anymore or he would be discovered.
He immediately ran towards the herb garden.
"Han Jue, did you sleep in?"
A middle-aged servant chided him laughingly. Han Jue scratched his head in embarrassment, causing the others to laugh.
They didn't think too much about it, nor did they really scold him. Han Jue rarely failed his duty. And sleeping in once in a while was ok.
The female cultivator at the entrance of the herb garden suddenly opened her eyes to look at Han Jue.
She frowned slightly.
"This young man… is so handsome!"
A line of words appeared in front of Han Jue.
[Xing Hongxuan has developed a favorable impression of you. Current favorability: 1 star.]
What the hell?
Who is Xing Hongxuan?
Han Jue was baffled and turned around subconsciously.
Can it be that female cultivator?
As expected, the female cultivator was staring at him.
Their eyes met, and Xing Hongxuan smiled at him.
Han Jue quickly turned his head away.
Crap.
My top-notch charm has kicked into effect.
I'm a mortal and she's a cultivator. A romantic relationship between us will not be blessed.
Can it be that she wants to use me as a Human Furnace?
No!
He had to think of a way to avoid that!At night.
After the other five servants were all sound asleep, Han Jue lay on the bed and began to inherit the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique.
A huge amount of memories flooded his mind.
After a long while…
He opened his eyes.
"So, this is a cultivation technique. It's so complicated…"
Han Jue thought to himself. He was only at the first level of the technique and he could reach the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique focused on a balanced development so that he could nurture the cultivation potentials of all six elemental types. Although the cultivation process was more complicated than cultivating only a single elemental type, Han Jue's aptitude was exceptional and could make up for it.
Only when six types of Spirit Qi reached a certain level could one build their foundation!
Han Jue was very excited and quietly sat up. He had the system set up a barrier around his bed so that the three cultivators outside wouldn't notice.
The other five servants were sound asleep. After all, it had been a tiring day.
Han Jue started to perform expiration exercises according to the first level.
Expiration was a breathing technique.
During the expiration process, he patiently sensed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.
In less than ten seconds, Han Jue felt the wind, earth, wood, and water Spirit Qi in the air.
As for the fire and thunder Spirit Qi, he couldn't capture them yet.
Han Jue began to absorb the four types of Spirit Qi.
Words suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Even though his eyes were closed, he could still see these words. It was truly miraculous.
[This is your first time cultivating. These are the following options for your cultivation development.]
[Firstly, you can be a high-profile unparalleled prodigy. You can obtain one Qi Refining Realm equipment.]
[Alternatively, you can keep a low profile and cultivate. You can activate the ability to hide your cultivation and cultivation potential.]
Han Jue chose the second option without hesitation.
The second function was obviously a godly skill.
This way, he would be able to cultivate in peace without the fear of being discovered!
[You can activate the hidden function anytime.]
Han Jue smiled.
Elder Iron had yet to return, so he had to seize the opportunity to become stronger.In the blink of an eye.
Two years passed quickly.
The 18-year-old Han Jue was already at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm. His four cultivation potentials—wind, earth, wood, and water—were all at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Han Jue knew that Xing Hongxuan was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm through the interpersonal relationships list.
Elder Iron hadn't returned for the past two years.
What was worth mentioning was that Xing Hongxuan's good impression of him had increased to two stars.
They had never even spoken.
However, Han Jue could sense that Xing Hongxuan kept staring at him, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Being too handsome also had its troubles.
Sigh.
I only want to cultivate.
Han Jue sighed in his head.
Xing Hongxuan was pretty, but definitely not so beautiful that people would give up anything for her. Han Jue didn't want to fall in love with her.
Once he loved someone, he would have a weakness.
He wanted to live forever and not die halfway.
He would consider romantic relationships once he had obtained immortality.
As long as he was invincible, he could have as many women as he wanted. He wasn't afraid of his enemies finding trouble with him!
As Han Jue worked, he made the firm decision to see Xing Hongxuan as a lure that would sway him from his goals.
At this moment…
Xing Hongxuan suddenly rose to her feet.
She walked over leisurely, attracting the attention of the other servants.
She went straight to Han Jue and smiled. "Come with me."
Han Jue was stunned.
The other servants looked at him enviously.
To be able to attract the attention of such a fairy-like figure must be a good thing.
All of them had already given up hope and had made themselves content with staying single for life.
Han Jue didn't dare to refuse and could only nod.
The two of them walked out of the herb garden.
The male cultivator opened his eyes and asked, "Hongxuan, what are you doing?"
He sized up Han Jue and frowned.
He's so handsome!
The herb garden servants had never left the garden their entire lives. They had no aesthetic taste, and with their habitual thinking, they didn't really notice the change in Han Jue much.
As a female, Xing Hongxuan was the first to notice something different about him.
The male cultivator observed Han Jue carefully only because of Xing Hongxuan.
Han Jue's good looks made him instinctively unhappy.
Xing Hongxuan covered her mouth and smiled. "It's fine. You can continue your cultivation. I want to talk to this young man alone."
Han Jue smiled awkwardly and anxiously at the male cultivator.
The male cultivator frowned but did not say anything.
Han Jue followed Xing Hongxuan into the woods.
He was struggling internally.
I'm too charming!
What should I do next?
Resist?
Or… obey?

Chapter 4: Threatened by Demonic Cultivator, Reward Is a Sword Technique
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Jue and Xing Hongxuan arrived at a deserted corner of the forest. Han Jue felt uneasy, fearing that Xing Hongxuan would make… that request.
Xing Hongxuan turned to look at him with a burning gaze.
Han Jue didn't dare to look her in the eyes.
Xing Hongxuan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm not trying to bother you. I just want to ask you, are you really willing to be a slave in this herbal garden forever?"
Han Jue was silent.
Next, you want me to bow before you and become your toy?
Xing Hongxuan took a step forward and whispered into his ear, "Help me do something. I will help you cultivate and rid you of your mortal identity."
"What is it?"
Xing Hongxuan opened and closed her mouth, but no sound came out. However, Han Jue heard her clearly.
"Help me obtain Elder Iron's alchemy recipe. I will bring you along when I leave the Jade Pure Sect and we will head to the Fiendish Cult. I will treat you well in the future. Under me, you will not suffer at all. If you have the aptitude and achieve good cultivation, we can even become companions."
Sound transmission!
Han Jue widened his eyes.
This woman is actually a fiendish cultivator!
Han Jue had no idea what to do.
This was no joke. If he agreed, he would offend the entire Jade Pure Sect.
If he refused, Xing Hongxuan would never let him leave the forest.
Elder Iron wasn't here. This was only the outer sect of the Jade Pure Sect. No one would respond even if he shouted his lungs out.
Xing Hongxuan didn't rush him. She walked around Han Jue and waited patiently.
Han Jue was weighing his chances of winning against Xing Hongxuan.
They were both at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement realm. Without magic and equipment, how could he defeat Xing Hongxuan?
I can't resort to brute force.
Han Jue pretended to be terrified and said, "I don't know where that thing is. Moreover, Zhang Ge is there…"
Xing Hongxuan looked satisfied. The fact that Han Jue didn't mention the alchemy recipe meant that he was smart.
"It's alright. I still have time. I can wait for you," Xing Hongxuan said with a smile.
She took out a pill and said, "This pill can help you unlock your cultivation potential. Take it, this is my greeting gift."
Han Jue looked at the pill. It looked like chocolate.
It was definitely poison!
Not able to refuse, Han Jue placed it in his mouth.
But he wrapped the pill with his spirit Qi to prevent it from melting.
After swallowing it, Han Jue opened his mouth and deliberately showed it to Xing Hongxuan. He then said excitedly, "Thank you, fairy-like miss! I will do my best!"
Damn it!
Wait for me to cultivate for another year and I will let you know how formidable I am!
It was impossible for Han Jue to join the Fiendish Cult just like that.
He wanted to live forever, not a risky life.
Xing Hongxuan covered her mouth and smiled. She reached out to touch Han Jue's cheek and said with a smile, "You're so sensible. Be good. I will groom you as my husband in the future."
Han Jue showed excitement.
But he was actually disgusted.
Stupid bitch, do you think you are worthy of me?
Xing Hongxuan rubbed his face for a while more before the two of them returned to the herb garden.
The male cultivator looked at Han Jue suspiciously, frowning.
Xing Hongxuan smiled mysteriously and continued her cultivation.
As Han Jue walked into the herb garden, lines of words suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[You were threatened by the fiendish cultivator Xing Hongxuan. You have the following choices.]
1
1
Eh?
I can even be rewarded?
Nice!
Han Jue's eyes lit up.
He was even more determined to not listen to her.Night fell…
Han Jue returned to the room and activated the barrier function.
He then spat out the pill in his stomach and placed it in his belt.
Then, he walked to the wooden bed and sat down. He took out a steamed bun and started eating.
He had already abstained from eating ordinary meals, but to not cause suspicion, he had to pretend to eat.
It was late at night.
After the five slaves had fallen asleep, Han Jue continued to cultivate.
Given his cultivation potential, it wouldn't be difficult for him to surpass Xing Hongxuan.
For the next few days, Han Jue worked as usual.
Zhang Ge had been cultivating in Elder Iron's residence, giving Han Jue an excuse to not enter.
Xing Hongxuan seemed to be in no hurry.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

[Check interpersonal relationships]Han Jue broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refinement Realm, and all four of his spiritual roots reached the eighth level of Qi Refinement Realm.
It was worth mentioning that his lifespan had also increased by twenty years, making him overjoyed.
The feeling of having his spiritual Qi rapidly grow was truly wonderful.
On the other hand, Xing Hongxuan and Elder Iron hadn't progressed in their cultivation at all.
This was the difference between a genius and a mortal.
Han Jue was secretly pleased.
Indeed, one had to endure loneliness to become stronger.
If he had started cultivating as a mortal from the very beginning, he might not even have reached the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm yet.
That night.
Han Jue heard footsteps outside the door. He immediately lay down and closed the barrier.
"I'm going to lure Zhang Ge away. You can go in and look for the item later."
Xing Hongxuan's voice reached Han Jue's ears.
He opened his eyes and hurriedly got up.
Damn.
I still can't run away from it.
Han Jue waited patiently.
He, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, had already obtained a divine sense, and his normal senses were also extraordinary.
He could faintly hear the sound of tables and chairs colliding in the distant pavilion.
"You can go now."
Xing Hongxuan's voice flowed into his ear. Then, Han Jue sensed Xing Hongxuan and Zhang Ge rushing away from the roof.
Han Jue quietly got up and prepared to put on a show.
After carefully leaving the house, he looked towards the entrance of the herb garden and discovered that the male cultivator had fallen under a tree. He couldn't tell if the guy was dead or alive.
"What a weak guy."
Han Jue couldn't help but ridicule him.
He headed for the pavilion.
Elder Iron's pavilion was two stories high, just like the villa. It was grand and magnificent, filled with all kinds of porcelain and paintings. After Han Jue entered the house, he began to wander around.
He didn't put in any effort at all.
Even if there was something he wanted, he had no place to keep it.
After sitting for half an hour, Han Jue got up and continued to rummage through the drawers. He had to at least put on an act.
Another half an hour passed.
Xing Hongxuan returned.
She rushed into the room and found him. "Have you found it?"
Standing beside a vase, Han Jue turned around and said, "I couldn't find it. I searched everywhere but couldn't find it."
All of a sudden, he noticed that Xing Hongxuan was covered in blood.
Had she killed Zhang Ge?
Han Jue retreated subconsciously and accidentally knocked over the vase on the table.
Ping—
The vase fell to the floor and shattered.
Han Jue saw a manual appearing in the broken vase with two words carved on it.
Alchemy recipe.
Silence!
The room was so quiet that a dropping needle would have been heard.
Han Jue was stunned and felt extremely awkward.
Erm…
Damn it!
Is this how Elder Iron hides his things?
Xing Hongxuan shifted her gaze from the alchemy recipe to him. It looked as if there was a bottomless abyss in her eyes.
Han Jue said in surprise, "He actually hid it in a vase. This old man really knows how to hide things!"

Chapter 5: Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword, Prepare for Foundation Establishment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Jue was extremely nervous.
He tried his best to look pleasantly surprised, as he prepared for Xing Hongxuan to attack him any moment.
Xing Hongxuan suddenly walked forward and grabbed his hand tightly. She smiled excitedly and said, "You're really my lucky charm!"
"I'm happy as long as you're happy."
[Xing Hongxuan's favorable impression of you has increased. She can become your companion. Her favorable impression of you is at the level of three stars]
Han Jue smiled bitterly at the line of words that appeared before him.
However, Xing Hongxuan didn't notice it. She walked around him, picked up the recipe, and began to flip through it.
She seemed to be looking for something.
Han Jue waited nervously.
Should he make a move?
If Xing Hongxuan took the recipe away, he wouldn't be able to obtain the sword technique.
Xing Hongxuan seemed to be injured, and her breathing was unstable.
Ambush her?
So that she will back off and give up?
Just as Han Jue was hesitating, a gust of cold wind swept through the door.
Han Jue was caught off-guard and was sent flying, crashing into the wall and rebounding to the ground.
Not really painful.
Just a little scary.
Han Jue stared in the direction. It was Elder Iron!
He tilted his neck and shook his right leg vigorously. He was pretending to have passed out.
"Put down my alchemy recipe!" Elder Iron said coldly.
Xing Hongxuan talked back coldly, "You're actually back!"
Elder Iron said expressionlessly, "I've been back for a long time, but I've been waiting for you to show up. The last time I came back, I saw the two of you the moment I arrived. All these years, the other disciples have not accepted any of my missions, only the two of you have. There must be something fishy."
With that, Elder Iron suddenly launched an attack at Xing Hongxuan, pushing his palm at her.
In his palm was a talisman.
As Xing Hongxuan instinctively jumped away, a lightning bolt shot out from Elder Iron's palm and wrapped around her.
Elder Iron then kicked Xing Hongxuan, sending her flying backward.
Almost instantly, Elder Iron snatched the alchemy recipe back.
Xing Hongxuan landed on the ground, her body twitching uncontrollably.
With his advantage, Elder Iron continued pursuing Xing Hongxuan, causing her to flee.
The two of them zoomed out one after another.
Lying on the ground, Han Jue hesitated whether he should get up.
No!
If he got up, he wouldn't be able to avoid suspicion.
Han Jue also thought about escaping.
But it was too dangerous. He didn't even know where to run to.
So, he waited patiently.
After an hour, Han Jue couldn't help but scratch his butt.
Then, he suddenly felt an aura approaching the pavilion.
It was Elder Iron!
Han Jue didn't dare to move.
As he entered the pavilion, Elder Iron noticed him and frowned.
Han Jue suddenly coughed.
Elder Iron walked to a nearby chair and sat down, quietly staring at him.
Han Jue displayed the best and most realistic acting skills ever.
He rubbed his head and got up.
Looking around in confusion, he was pleasantly surprised to see Elder Iron.
"Elder Iron! You're finally back!"
Han Jue shrunk his neck and looked around nervously.
He carefully asked, "Then, where did the witch go?"
Elder Iron looked at him expressionlessly.
Han Jue hurriedly stood up and lowered his head before Elder Iron, looking uneasy.
Han Jue was gambling!
He was gambling that Elder Iron didn't notice the communication between Xing Hongxuan and him.
If he discovered it, Han Jue could only go all out.
"What did she tell you?" Elder Iron asked.
Han Jue didn't dare to hide anything and answered truthfully.
"Hmph. She wants to train you to be her husband. What a joke."
Elder Iron was so angry that he laughed. This kid must be daydreaming.
He examined Han Jue carefully.
Huh.
It's actually true.
This kid had really become handsome. Just based on his looks and gaze, he wasn't inferior to those inner sect disciples at all.
The changes were too great!
Could it be…
Elder Iron stretched out his hand and grabbed Han Jue's right wrist, pondering carefully.
Nervous, Han Jue was ready to attack at any time.
"This kid doesn't have a cultivation potential or cultivation. Am I overthinking?"
Old Iron silently thought. Seeing Han Jue's fearful and anxious appearance, he couldn't help but think of his parents, and his mood immediately became irritable.
He snapped. "Go back to sleep!"
Han Jue heaved a sigh of relief, hurriedly bowed, then left the pavilion quickly.
Elder Iron began to tidy up the room.Back in his room, Han Jue quietly went to bed.
[As you did not help Xing Hongxuan steal the alchemy recipe, you successfully obtained the sword technique—Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword]
Han Jue was in a good mood. He finally had a life-saving technique!
He immediately chose to inherit it.
A wave of memories surged into his mind.
The Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword wasn't considered a martial art, but a magical spell. He could brandish his finger as a sword, and the spirit Qi would transform into a blade.
Han Jue was very talented with sword techniques and was able to master the magical spell in one night.
However, he didn't expose himself and maintained a low profile.
The next day.
After Han Jue woke up, he heard the other servants say that Zhang Ge had died.
It was said that he died a miserable death, bleeding from all seven orifices.
The male cultivator guarding the herb garden also left early in the morning. Something big seemed to have happened last night.
Han Jue couldn't help but mourn for Zhang Ge.
[Xing Hongxuan's favorable impression of you has increased. She can become your companion. Her favorable impression of you is at the level of 3.5 stars]
Han Jue was stunned.
Why did she become more affectionate towards me?
Ridiculous!
However, Xing Hongxuan probably wouldn't dare to show up again for the time being, and Han Jue could cultivate in peace.Half a month later.
Elder Iron left the herb garden again.
He had been going out more frequently in the past ten years.
Han Jue heard from Old Man Wang that Elder Iron seemed to be nearing the end of his life and was looking for herbs to increase his lifespan.
Not everyone could break through easily like Han Jue.
Elder Iron's cultivation level was stuck at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm and could not increase further.
This was the difference in cultivation potential.
Elder Iron was a typical mortal cultivator who wanted to change his fate.
Han Jue prayed in his heart, hoping that this old man would die on the way.
The reason he had such a vicious thought was that he noticed that Elder Iron still had a level of hatred of 1 star towards him.
Elder Iron was a potential enemy!In the blink of an eye.
Two years passed.
The twenty-year-old Han Jue had cultivated all four spiritual roots to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
As long as he cultivated his lightning and fire cultivation potential to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, he could begin preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, there was no lightning or fire spiritual Qi around the herb garden.
Han Jue knew that it was time for him to leave.
That night, he quietly left.
Han Jue still had a thousand superior-grade spirit stones that he had yet to take out. This would be the source of his confidence in traveling the cultivation world.
Along the way, Han Jue used his divine sense to search his surroundings as he walked.
He was prepared to pay a visit to the Jade Pure Sect and become its disciple.
The Jade Pure Sect probably wouldn't reject a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refinement Realm.
The next morning.
Han Jue finally found the Jade Pure Sect.
The sect was located in a valley between mountains. Mysterious mist pervaded the air, and two huge stone statues flanked the gate. They looked like kirin statues.
"Stop right there. Show us your sect pass," said a disciple of the Jade Pure Sect as he raised his sword.
A total of four disciples were guarding the entrance of the Jade Pure Sect, and all of them were at the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Han Jue turned off the concealment function and clasped his hands. "I'm Han Jue, a rogue cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refinement Realm. Do I have any way to join the Jade Pure Sect?"
The ninth level of Qi Refinement Realm!
The four disciples' attitudes instantly changed.
The sword-wielding disciple told the disciple beside him, and the latter disciple quickly left.
"Wait a moment. I've sent someone to inform the outer sect warden," said the sword-wielding disciple.
Han Jue thanked him.
In the Jade Pure Sect, other than Elder Iron, no other cultivator knew his name. Elder Iron had yet to return and might have died outside, so Han Jue wasn't worried about exposing his identity.
In any case, he had done nothing to harm the Jade Pure Sect, so nothing was stopping him from joining the sect.

Chapter 6: Entering the Jade Pure Sect, Cultivating the Fire Cultivation Potential
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Jue didn't have to wait long before an outer sect warden arrived.
He was also at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
"I'm an outer sect warden of the Jade Pure Sect, Yang Luo. Brother Han, can you let me do a quick check? Fiendish cultivators occasionally tried to infiltrate the Jade Pure Sect in the past few years," the outer sect warden said politely, cupping his hands.
Han Jue didn't have anything on him and wasn't afraid of a check.
He raised his hands.
Yang Luo began to feel around.
After he finished searching, he asked doubtfully, "Why do you not even have a storage ring or storage pouch?"
Han Jue helplessly said, "I was attacked by a Foundation Establishment Realm fiendish cultivator on my way here. To stay alive… Ya, I'm sure you understand."
Yang Luo was silent and looked at him sympathetically.
"Can you show your Spiritual Energy?" Yang Luo asked.
Han Jue could understand. It was to check if he was a fiendish cultivator.
He immediately raised his right hand, wielding his finger like a sword and pointing towards the cliff at the side.
Swish!
A beam of Spirit Qi shot out from his index finger, piercing into the rocks.
Yang Luo's eyes lit up.
What kind of spell is this?
He didn't ask, but he could feel that Han Jue wasn't a fiendish cultivator.
"No problem, follow me. I'll bring you to the outer sect for registration. From now on, you're an outer sect disciple of the Jade Pure Sect." Yang Luo smiled.
Then, he led Han Jue into the valley.
As Han Jue walked, he asked, "How many outer sect disciples are there? What are the conditions to enter the inner sect?"
"There are more than two thousand disciples in the outer sect. Only those who have reached Foundation Establishment can enter the inner sect. However, Foundation Establishment is very difficult. Every three years, the sect will hold a sect competition. The top three will all receive Foundation Establishment Pills. Foundation Establishment Pills can help a ninth layer Qi Refinement Realm cultivator breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"Are there many inner sect disciples?"
"I'm not sure about that. The Jade Pure Sect's inner sect is located in a Small World, we have no idea what's happening inside."
"It seems like Jade Pure Sect is very powerful."
"Of course. The Jade Pure Sect is the most prestigious and established cultivation sect in the Great Yan."
"Does the Jade Pure Sect have places to cultivate with lightning and fire spiritual Qi?"
"There aren't any in the outer sect, but there might be in the inner sect. If you have a Thunder Cultivation Potential, you can appeal to the Elder Hall. Perhaps they can make an exception and allow you to enter the inner sect. Having rare cultivation potentials like this is normally enough for the sect to especially nurture you."
Yang Luo was secretly surprised. Could it be that this guy also had a Thunder Cultivation Potential?
Han Jue's eyes brightened as he asked, "As long as I have a Thunder Cultivation Potential?"
Yang Luo nodded.
"Brother Yang, can you nominate me? If I can enter the inner sect, I will never forget your kindness," Han Jue said in a low voice.
He raised his right hand and sparks crackled in his palm.
Yang Luo's pupils contracted.
[The outer sect warden of the Jade Pure Sect, Yang Luo, has a favorable impression of you. Current favorability: 1 star.]
Yang Luo laughed. "Since you're already calling me brother, I naturally have to help you with this matter. I'll make an exception and explain this to the Elder Hall."
"Thank you, Brother Yang. I'm very grateful!"
"Sure, sure!"
Yang Luo had been stuck in the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm for twenty years. It was very difficult for him to make any more breakthroughs in his cultivation. The only thing he could do was to form connections.
Following Yang Luo, Han Jue saw many outer sect disciples meditating along the way.
The outer sect did not allocate special cultivation grounds and cave abodes for the disciples. Everyone just randomly found a place to practice their breathing techniques and were not to cause trouble.
Soon, Han Jue arrived at the outer sect's buildings. Most of the buildings were very similar to Elder Iron's buildings and looked antique. There were also many disciples on the streets. Other than cultivators, there were also mortals.
It turned out that there were also many mortal slaves in the cultivation sect. Slaves were not only needed by alchemists.
Mortals were also willing to serve them. At the very least, they wouldn't encounter any life-threatening situations and would be able to fill their stomach.
The Elder Hall was located in the center of the valley. It had four floors, and the entire place was filled with a strange fragrance.
Han Jue followed Yang Luo in.
Yang Luo walked to the counter and said, "A ninth level Qi Refinement Realm cultivator wants to join our Jade Pure Sect."
The first floor wasn't big, and there was only an old man at the counter.
The old man glanced at Han Jue, causing him to uncontrollably tense up.
He couldn't tell the old man's cultivation level.
Could he be a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator?
"Eh?"
The old man responded and turned around to take a small rectangular wooden block from the wooden cabinet behind him.
Yang Luo asked in a low voice, "Is the First Elder here? This person has a Thunder Cultivation Potential and wants to enter the inner court."
Thunder Cultivation Potential?
The old man looked at Han Jue in surprise.
He waved his hand.
Han Jue immediately walked up to the old man.
At the same time, he made the system only reveal his thunder, fire, and wind cultivation potentials.
Triple cultivation potential!
The old man was shocked. "Triple cultivation potential!"
Yang Luo wasn't surprised. Instead, he looked slightly envious.
"Register yourself first. You will be an outer sect disciple for the time being. When the First Elder returns, I will tell him about this matter," the old man said in a low voice.
Han Jue started the registration.
After that, Han Jue received the Sect Pass, a storage bag, a Jade Pure Sect Daoist robe, 100 low-grade spirit stones, and a bottle of Qi Condensation Pills.
Yang Luo personally arranged for him to stay in a wooden house not far from his.
"Alright, Brother Han, you should rest first. Someone will inform you when there's news. I still have things to do." Yang Luo smiled.
Han Jue cupped his fists and watched him leave.
Yang Luo's attitude made him feel very real. It was different from what was written in novels.
Even if Yang Luo wanted to form a good relationship with him, he wouldn't deliberately try to please him.
They were all cultivators. He wasn't going to be a simp just because Han Jue had better potential.
Han Jue closed the door and started to cultivate.
He could finally cultivate without any worries!
Something surprising happened again.
He could actually sense fire spiritual Qi here!
Han Jue decided to first cultivate his fire cultivation potential to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Generally speaking, cultivators would only choose one technique to cultivate. Most cultivation techniques only had a single elemental attribute. Very few people would cultivate with six elemental attributes like Han Jue.
Han Jue's cultivation potential was top-notch and he didn't feel tired at all.
He enjoyed the feeling of becoming stronger.
More accurately, it was the feeling of his lifespan increasing.
When Han Jue saw the attributes panel, his first thought was to live forever.
He didn't want fame or fortune!
He didn't want to marry a beauty!
He only wanted to live for very long. He didn't want to suffer from a terminal disease and die at a young age again!
"With my cultivation potential, I don't need to take risks and seek opportunities. I need to cultivate diligently and never cause trouble. If I can avoid provoking my enemies, then I shouldn't provoke them unless they want to kill me."
Han Jue thought silently.Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Han Jue's fire cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
The outer sect First Elder finally returned, and Yang Luo personally came to inform him.
Han Jue packed up his things, tied the storage bag on his waist, and followed him to the Elder Hall.
"Initially, the Elder Hall had already forgotten about this matter. I happened to pass by your door and noticed that you were still cultivating, so I suddenly remembered it. I'm sure the First Elder would like a diligent cultivator like you." Yang Luo smiled.
His tone was full of admiration.
Han Jue didn't open his door for half a year.
If not for the spiritual Qi fluctuation inside, others would have thought that it was an empty room.
Han Jue smiled and said, "Many thanks, Brother Yang. If I have the chance to obtain more Foundation Establishment Pills in the future, I will definitely obtain one for you."

Chapter 7: Fairy Xi Xuan's Favorability Grew
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Elder Hall.
Han Jue met the First Elder.
The First Elder was plump and resembled Maitreya Buddha. He had a smile on his face and his eyes curved into two lines.
He sized up Han Jue and said with satisfaction, "His temperament is comparable to inner sect disciples and almost equivalent to an elite disciple."
The Jade Pure Sect robe was white with blue stripes. After Han Jue wore it, his charm was completely unleashed. He didn't look like a servant at all.
Many female cultivators peeped at him on the way here.
"I cannot be compared to the elite disciples," Han Jue said humbly.
The Grand Elder smiled and said, "Let's go. Follow me to the inner sect. If you want to join the inner sect, you have to find a master. There are eighteen peaks and eighteen missionary elders in the inner sect. If anyone is fond of you, you can directly become an inner sect disciple. If not, you can only participate in the outer sect competition and strive to reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible."
"I understand."
The two of them then left the Elder Hall.
The old man at the counter clicked his tongue in wonder. "This child's fire-attribute Spiritual Energy has increased by quite a bit. It seems that he has been diligently cultivating for half a year."
Yang Luo laughed. "That's right, he didn't leave his room even once. He has good talent and is willing to cultivate diligently. Who knows, he might even become an elite disciple in the future."
The old man shook his head and laughed. He didn't say anything else.
He had been here for more than a hundred years and had seen geniuses more talented than Han Jue. He only felt a little emotional but didn't think too much about it.They didn't speak on the way.
Following the First Elder, Han Jue arrived at a teleportation formation in the corner of the valley. Several disciples were guarding this place.
The teleportation formation was very much like an altar. It was a circular stone platform with strange patterns engraved on it. Stone pillars were erected in all directions, and there were many irregular dents on them, which were especially used to insert spirit stones.
This was Han Jue's first time using a teleportation formation. He was very nervous, but he didn't dare to show it, afraid of embarrassing himself.
The outer sect disciples began placing spirit stones.
"What kind of training style do you prefer?" the First Elder suddenly asked. "The various peaks have different cultures because of the different personalities of the coaching elders. Some are competitive, some are low-key, and some are out on missions all year round."
Han Jue replied, "I'm a low-profile cultivator. I don't like crowds and I don't like being high-profile."
The First Elder revealed a strange smile and said, "Then, I'll bring you to the Jade Serene Peak first."
At this moment, the teleportation formation was activated and a strong light burst out, causing Han Jue to close his eyes.
Han Jue felt a strong sense of weightlessness. Any other mortal would have vomited.
About three seconds passed.
Han Jue opened his eyes, and what he saw was a mountain peak that reached into the clouds. The sea of clouds filled his vision, and he felt as if he were standing on a cloud.
Under his feet was the teleportation formation, and in front of him was a stone step that led to the city.
The city was located on a lower peak compared to the surrounding eighteen mountain peaks. However, when Han Jue looked down from the teleportation formation, it was like a ten thousand-foot-high cliff. Due to the clouds and mist, he couldn't see the ground.
The city on the lower peak was very big. Many cultivators could be seen flying with their swords in the sky. There were even various kinds of ferocious birds.
"That's the inner sect of the Jade Pure Sect. You can do missions and collect your salary here. You can also trade inside."
The First Elder introduced the inner sect with a proud tone.
Han Jue was stunned. He had thought that the Jade Pure Sect was a small sect like in the cultivation dramas. He didn't expect it to be so big.
He thought he had arrived at an Immortal World.
He had truly underestimated the strength of the Jade Pure Sect.
After all, he had been staying in the herb garden for the past twenty years, and his activity was limited to a radius of two kilometers. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a caged bird.
The First Elder waved his hand. Han Jue felt something lifting him and almost fell.
He looked down and saw a huge gourd under his feet.
"Stand firm. If you fall, you'll die even if you're at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm."
The First Elder laughed heartily.
Han Jue quickly covered the bottom of his feet with spiritual force to stick himself to the gourd's surface.
The huge gourd carried them towards one of the taller peaks.
The other huge peaks had disciples traveling in and out, and only this one seemed inactive.
"The coaching elder of Jade Serene Peak is Fairy Xi Xuan. Her cultivation level is unfathomable. She likes to cultivate in seclusion, with peace and silence. Therefore, Jade Serene Peak is not lively. In addition, she doesn't allow her disciples to develop feelings for each other and become companions. Therefore, there are very few disciples. The disciples who stay on Jade Serene Peak are basically all ascetics," the Great Elder said with a smile.
Han Jue raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? That's great!"
He was afraid of female cultivators pestering him!
After all, his charm was unparalleled.
The First Elder shook his head and laughed.
[The First Elder of the outer sect of the Jade Pure Sect has a favorable impression of you. Current favorability: 1 star.]
A line of words appeared in front of Han Jue.
He was baffled.
Soon, they arrived at the palace complex of the Jade Serene Peak and flew straight to the main hall.
His mouth moved slightly as the First Elder stood in front of the door. He was probably using a voice transmission technique.
Boom!
The front door opened.
The First Elder led Han Jue in.
The hall was dark. As they walked in, the oil lamps on both sides lit up.
Han Jue's gaze landed on the two figures meditating in front.
Two female cultivators.
One of the female cultivators wore a blue robe and had a graceful bearing. Her appearance could be described as devastatingly beautiful. She was probably Fairy Xi Xuan.
The female cultivator behind her should be a disciple. Her temperament and appearance were quite different, but she was still a beauty.
Fairy Xi Xuan opened her eyes and looked at Han Jue.
As the First Elder approached, he smiled and said, "This child's name is Han Jue. He's an itinerant cultivator with a triple cultivation potential and also possesses a rare thunder cultivation potential. On the way here, I asked and found out that he also likes quiet and peaceful training grounds. He doesn't want to be too high-profile."
Han Jue bowed.
[Chang Yue'er has developed a favorable impression of you. Current favorability: 2 stars]
Two stars just like that?
How shallow.
Han Jue complained in his head and became nervous.
Jade Serene Peak is not living up to its name! Are the female disciples all so desperate?
Fairy Xi Xuan opened her mouth and warned, "If you join my peak, I will not treat you any better than others. Everything will depend on you. In terms of cultivation, I won't neglect to teach you. But if you slack off, I will chase you out of the peak."
Han Jue immediately promised, "As long as there are no instructions, I can enter seclusion for a hundred years and never leave my house!"
"Really?"
"Absolutely true!"
[Fairy Xi Xuan has a favorable impression of you. Current favorability: 1 star.]
[Chang Yue'er's favorability towards you has decreased. Current favorability: 1 star.]
Lines of words appeared in front of Han Jue.
He couldn't help but look down on Chang Yue'er.
Are you so desperate for love?
This is a land of cultivation!
"Do you know any spells? Attack me. Let me see your ability," Fairy Xi Xuan asked.
Han Jue nodded and decided to go all out.
This Jade Serene Peak suited him too well!
If it were any other peak, he would be annoyed to death by female cultivators like Chang Yue'er!
Han Jue was definitely not heartless. He also liked women, but women were definitely not as important as lifespan. Right now, he only wanted to cultivate.
Lust is a knife in disguise!
Once his cultivation had reached a phenomenal stage, he would be able to nurture a few companions to play with. However, he wouldn't use his true feelings. He would only cultivate together with them.
Han Jue channeled the spiritual power in his body and pointed his right hand at Fairy Xi Xuan.
Sword Qi burst forth from his five fingers, condensing into a palm-sized sword Qi that shot towards Fairy Xi Xuan like lightning.
Just as it was about to touch Fairy Xi Xuan, the sword Qi dissipated into thin air. Fairy Xi Xuan's beautiful hair began to flutter.
[Chang Yue'er's favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 2 stars]

Chapter 8: A Nascent Soul Realm Master, Only Needs Thunder Spirit Qi
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Jue looked at the notification and waited for Fairy Xi Xuan to speak.
Fairy Xi Xuan asked, "Is this the only move you know?"
"Yes."
Han Jue was very honest. He didn't want to pretend to be better.
"This sword technique is not bad. Alright, you may stay at the Jade Serene Peak." Fairy Xi Xuan nodded slightly.
The Grand Elder laughed. "I shouldn't disturb you anymore, then."
He nodded at Han Jue and left.
Fairy Xi Xuan stared at Han Jue and said, "Aren't you going to kneel and acknowledge me as your master?"
Han Jue came back to his senses and immediately knelt.
"Disciple Han Jue greets master. Long live master."
Fairy Xi Xuan couldn't help but laugh. "Do you think I'm an empress?"
Han Jue didn't look up.
Fairy Xi Xuan thought to herself, "This child carries himself well. His temperament is also not bad."
She took out a token from her sleeve and handed it to Chang Yue'er.
"Bring your junior to the inner sect to register and arrange a cave abode for him."
"Yes, Master."
Chang Yue'er carefully stood up.
Han Jue stood up and bowed, then left with Chang Yue'er.
Just as they walked out of the palace, the door closed behind them.
"Junior Han, my name is Chang Yue'er. From now on, you can call me Senior Chang. You're a newcomer, so if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
Chang Yue'er smiled and met Han Jue's gaze. She didn't feel shy and stared straight at him.
Han Jue lowered his head slightly and said, "Thank you, Senior Chang. I wouldn't dare to trouble you, but if you need a helping hand, you can tell me at any time."
"Hehe, you're such a nice person."
He's more handsome than the other male seniors and juniors.
This was the first time Chang Yue'er had met such a handsome man, and his attitude and personality made him very comfortable to interact with.
She swore to herself that she must protect Junior Han and not let him be bullied.
The two of them went all the way to the edge of the cliff, chattering and laughing all along. Chang Yue'er took out her flying sword and let Han Jue stand behind her, hugging her waist.
Han Jue hesitated.
"Other than you, the other male juniors don't have a chance to hug me by my waist." Chang Yue'er snorted.
But in fact, Han Jue was the first male junior she had met.
In the entire Jade Serene Peak, only Han Jue was her junior. It had been years since Jade Serene Peak had a new disciple.
Since she had already said that, Han Jue didn't want to be pretentious.
He had to agree that Senior Chang had a slim waist.Two hours later.
Chang Yue'er brought Han Jue to a cave entrance and said, "Inside is your cave abode. My cave abode is right beside it. You can cultivate in peace."
So close?
Han Jue looked in the direction she pointed. The entrance of her cave was 100 meters away.
Han Jue sighed in his head, but he still thanked Chang Yue'er.
The two bid farewell.
After entering the cave, Han Jue saw a knob on the wall of the cave. After twisting it, a stone door closed at the entrance of the cave. Immediately after, the cave lit up.
He walked towards the end of the tunnel. The cave was about a hundred square meters. There was a bed, a table, and a wooden cabinet. He was treated well.
Han Jue sat on the bed and took out the newly obtained inner sect storage bag.
The inner sect's storage bag was ten times larger than the outer sect's storage bag. It had a space of 100 cubic meters.
He obtained Jade Serene Peak's Daoist robe, a flying sword, a flying sword technique manual, Jade Serene Peak's token, a hundred middle-grade spirit stones, and a bottle of Qi Condensation Pills.
Through Chang Yue'er, Han Jue learned that a high-grade spirit stone was equivalent to a hundred middle-grade spirit stones. A middle-grade spirit stone was equivalent to a hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Spirit stones could be used for cultivation or currency.
He immediately retrieved the one thousand superior-grade spirit stones from his attribute panel and placed them into his storage bag.
This amount of spirit stones was enough to make Han Jue rich.
The providence of being the descendant of an Immortal Emperor was indeed amazing. He was given a thousand superior-grade spirit stones from the start.
Han Jue opened his characteristic panel and checked his interpersonal relationships.
[Chang Yue'er: Second-stage Foundation Establishment realm. She treats you as her younger brother. Current Favorability: 2 stars.]
[Fairy Xi Xuan: Third level of the Nascent Soul realm. Your master admires your temperament. Current Favorability: 1 star]
Treats me like a younger brother?
Han Jue was speechless.
Favorability didn't mean romantic affection. He was thinking too highly of himself.
However, he was very surprised by Fairy Xi Xuan's cultivation.
She was a Nascent Soul realm cultivator!
The outer sect's First Elder was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The Qi Refinement, the Foundation Establishment, the Golden Core, and the Nascent Soul Realms were all the realms that he was aware of so far.
In other words, Fairy Xi Xuan was the strongest cultivator he had encountered so far.
Not bad, not bad! Han Jue thought happily.
He packed up his things and started reading the flying sword technique manual.
He had to master the flying sword technique. Otherwise, he would have to hug onto his senior's slim waist whenever he needed to go down the mountain.
His top-notch sword technique talent allowed him to master the flying sword technique in an hour.
He dripped blood on the flying sword to make it recognize him as the owner. This method was recorded in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique.
After everything was done, he walked out of the cave abode and stepped on his flying sword. He began to circle Jade Serene Peak to familiarize himself with the flying sword technique.
In the Jade Serene Hall.
Fairy Xi Xuan suddenly opened her eyes as a strange look flashed across them.
"Is this really the first time this kid has cultivated the flying sword technique?"
She had eavesdropped on Han Jue and Chang Yue'er's conversation before.
Was he lying?
If he was lying, why would he suddenly display his flying sword technique now?
Fairy Xi Xuan couldn't figure it out and decided to observe for a while longer.
After Han Jue flew dozens of rounds, he quickly returned to his cave abode to cultivate.
He started to cultivate his fire spiritual power.
[You have successfully become an inner disciple of the Jade Pure Sect and started your first cultivation after entering the sect. You can choose the following development path.]
1
1
Han Jue took a look and face-palmed.
What the hell?
Leading Jade Serene Peak to become the strongest peak would instead offend Fairy Xi Xuan?
His master was very strange.
Is she a fiendish cultivator spy?
Han Jue shook his head and smiled, silently choosing the second option.
He wasn't interested in unparalleled equipment. All he wanted was to cultivate diligently.Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Han Jue successfully cultivated his fire cultivation potential to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
All that was left was the thunder spirit Qi.
However, he couldn't capture any thunder spiritual Qi on the Jade Serene Peak.
Han Jue was distressed and decided to pay a visit to his master.
He immediately got up and walked out of the cave abode.
He executed the flying sword technique and quickly flew to the entrance of Jade Serene Hall. He knelt in front of the door and said, "Master, I have something to ask of you."
He didn't raise his voice. He was sure that Fairy Xi Xuan could hear him.
Before long, the door opened.
Han Jue walked into the hall at a medium pace.
He walked up to Fairy Xi Xuan and knelt, saying, "I have cultivated my wind cultivation potential and fire cultivation to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm. I'm only lacking the thunder spirit Qi before I can proceed to Foundation Establishment. Master, please tell me where I can find thunder spirit Qi."
Fairy Xi Xuan opened her eyes and frowned. "You want to cultivate all three types of spiritual power?"
Not three, I'm cultivating six elements!
"Yes, Master," Han Jue replied respectfully.
Fairy Xi Xuan said softly, "This isn't an easy path. The heavenly tribulation you encounter will also be stronger than others. You can cultivate one type of spiritual Qi first. After you reach the Golden Core Realm, it won't be too late to cultivate with the other Spirit Qi."

Chapter 9: Third Level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Mo Fuchou
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"I want to continue like this. Although it's difficult, I believe that with my will, I can succeed. I'm willing to spend all my time on cultivation," Han Jue replied.
Fairy Xi Xuan didn't reject him directly, which meant there was still a chance.
Fairy Xi Xuan stared at him and said, "The inner sect has a teleportation formation that leads to the Thunder Spiritual Pool. However, one needs ten mid-grade spirit stones to stay in the Thunder Spiritual Pool for a day."
At first glance, it looked cheap, but for cultivators, how could a day be enough?
Han Jue said in surprise, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I'm going there immediately!"
With that, he stood up and left in a hurry.
Fairy Xi Xuan smiled before closing her eyes and continuing to cultivate.When Han Jue arrived at the inner sect city, he stopped a female disciple and asked, "Senior, sorry for disturbing you. Where's the Thunder Spiritual Pool? Can you tell me?"
"That way, at the end of the road. The place that has lanterns with 'Thunder' written on them is the Thunder Spiritual Pool."
"Thank you!"
"Junior…"
Han Jue left quickly, not giving her any chance to strike up a conversation.
Wherever there were people, there would be trouble. The fewer friends he made, the less trouble would find him.
What are friends?
We help each other, and we're friends.
If you want my help, that's trouble!
Ten minutes later, Han Jue found the Thunder Spiritual Pool.
Entering the pavilion, he saw a teleportation formation in the inner courtyard.
He took out a hundred superior-grade spirit stones. He was going to stay there for three years!
If he left early, he could ask for a refund for the remaining time.
The Jade Pure Sect would never cheat their own disciples.
The disciples who worked here were here to clear missions. The owner of the Thunder Spiritual Pool was an elder, so no one dared to cause trouble here.
The disciples working here were slightly surprised by Han Jue's generosity, but they didn't say anything.
Although the thunder cultivation potential was rare, the Jade Pure Sect had more than a few disciples with it.
When he opened his eyes again, Han Jue appeared at a pool filled with hot air. Visibility was poor. The thunderclouds were very low, and he felt that he could reach out and touch them.
Apart from him, another cultivator was already meditating nearby.
"Don't wander around in the Thunder Spiritual Pool. You can only cultivate by the pool. If you don't obey the rules and get killed by lightning, you deserve it!"
A cold snort came from behind.
Han Jue turned his head and saw that it was a huge tree. Its main trunk had a human face filled with sarcasm.
A tree spirit!
Han Jue nodded at it and then walked to the side to meditate.
The Thunder Spiritual Pool quickly fell into silence, and only the sound of thunder could be heard.
Han Jue was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of thunder spiritual Qi here, which made his progress cultivating his thunder spirit energy much faster than when he had cultivated the other spirit energies.
Awesome!
Han Jue was extremely excited.In just a short year!
Han Jue had successfully cultivated his thunder cultivation potential to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm!
He didn't leave but prepared to enter Foundation Establishment.
Previously, he had already cultivated all the different types of spiritual energy to the max and had also reached the max for the thunder spirit energy now.
He had maxed out all six spiritual energies. He could go for Foundation Establishment immediately!
Foundation Establishment required Foundation Establishment Pills, but that was only for mortals.
Han Jue had top-tier cultivation potential.
The first level of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique taught him a method to avoid heavenly tribulation. It was a very hard-line approach: he would absorb the heavenly tribulation!
The Six Paths of Reincarnation would absorb the lightning from the heavenly tribulation and convert it into thunder spirit energy, helping him further his cultivation!
A month later.
Han Jue started to break through to Foundation Establishment.
It just so happened there were few people in the Thunder Spiritual Pool. Even if he succeeded in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, it wouldn't attract too much attention.
Meditating, Han Jue kept changing his moves and practiced the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique. Six types of spiritual energy revolved in his body forming six colored whirlpools in his dantian.
The tree spirit suddenly opened its eyes and looked at him in surprise.
The cultivator nearby also opened his eyes.
The lightning in the Thunder Spiritual Pool began to gather towards Han Jue.
"Is he trying to enter Foundation Establishment?"
The cultivator's face twitched. He silently distanced himself from Han Jue, afraid that he would be struck by the heavenly tribulation.
An hour later.
Streaks of lightning interweaved above Han Jue's head like dragons and snakes.
The strange thing was that these lightning bolts disappeared the moment they touched him. They didn't cause him any harm.
The tree spirit and the cultivator frowned.
What kind of cultivation technique is he using?
It can counter the tribulation like this!
Although they were surprised, they didn't disturb him.
Disrupting others during their tribulation transcendence was a big taboo in the cultivation world. It was immoral!
Relying on his exceptional cultivation potential and an unparalleled cultivation technique, Han Jue's breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was extremely smooth. There were no surprises or danger.
Three days later, he successfully established his foundation and reached the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
[Congratulations on reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm. You have the following choices]
1
1
Han Jue chose the second option without hesitation.
After his breakthrough, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he planned to continue cultivating his thunder spirit energy until the time was up.
He first inherited the second level of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique.
The next morning, he continued to cultivate.
"This person has a good temperament. He didn't even go out to celebrate his successful breakthrough. Instead, he continued to cultivate," the cultivator thought silently.
A line of words appeared in front of Han Jue.
[Mo Fuchou has a good impression of you. Current favorability: 1 star.]
Han Jue opened his eyes and noticed that the cultivator was staring at him.
Han Jue nodded at him politely.
Mo Fuchou nodded back. Then, the two of them continued cultivating without further communication.Han Jue walked out of the Thunder Spiritual Pool and opened his attributes panel:
[Name: Han Jue]
[Lifespan: 27 / 187]
[Race: Mortal]
[Cultivation: Level Three of the Foundation Establishment Realm]
[Technique: Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique (Can be inherited)]
[Magic: Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword]
[Mystical Power: None]
[Equipment: None]
[Cultivation Potential: Spiritual Physique of the Six Paths. It contains top-notch wind, fire, water, earth, wood, and thunder cultivation potentials. Increases providence to a certain extent.]
[Connate providence is as follows]
[Unparalleled: Immortal beauty, top-notch charm]
[Destined Sword Fanatic: Top-notch Sword Dao aptitude, top-notch Sword Dao learning ability]
[Unparalleled Movement Technique: Top-notch movement technique aptitude]
[Descendant of the Immortal Emperor: After the game begins, you will receive an unparalleled cultivation technique and 1,000 superior-grade spirit stones.]
[Check interpersonal relationships]
Level three of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
This was the cultivation level of his Thunder Cultivation Potential. The Foundation Establishment Realm was also divided into nine levels. He was really fast.
Two years for reaching level three!
Most importantly, his lifespan had increased to 187 years!
Han Jue was very satisfied.
"Brother, may I know your name? I'm Mo Fuchou from the Heavenly Thunder Peak!"
A voice sounded from behind Han Jue. He stopped and turned around.
Han Jue cupped his fists and said with a smile, "I'm Han Jue from Jade Serene Peak."
"Jade Serene Peak? No wonder I find you unfamiliar. It's a pity for someone with your talent to join the Jade Serene Peak. Do you want to come to Heavenly Thunder Peak? My master is a thunder cultivator." Mo Fuchou shook his head.
Han Jue smiled and said, "I have already acknowledged Fairy Xi Xuan as my master. She will be my master for life. I can't betray her like that. But thank you for your kind intentions, Brother Mo."
Mo Fuchou smiled and said, "Your technique is very impressive. You reached the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm in just two years. You're considered one of the best in the entire inner sect."
"Brother Mo, you flatter me. I have no intention of comparing myself with the other inner sect disciples."
"Hahaha."
The two of them chatted for a while before leaving.
After returning to Jade Serene Peak, Han Jue didn't know whether he should go greet Fairy Xi Xuan or not.
Forget it.
Master's also an ascetic. I shouldn't disturb her.
Han Jue silently returned to his cave abode.
After returning to his bed, Han Jue rested for a while before checking his interpersonal relationships.
He found an email mark on the top right corner, still glowing red.
Curious, he clicked on it.

Chapter 10: Miserable Friend, First Disciple's Favorability
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
[Your good friend Xing Hongxuan is being hunted down by the Jade Pure Sect and was severely injured. She managed to escape by luck.]
[Your good friend, Xing Hongxuan, is being hunted down by her fellow disciples and was lucky enough to counterattack.]
[Your good friend Xing Hongxuan betrayed the Viridescent Nether Cult and is being hunted down.]
[Your good friend Xing Hongxuan's favorable impression of you has increased to 4 stars.]
Han Jue was speechless.
That's very unfortunate of her.
The most ridiculous thing was that for the past few years, Xing Hongxuan was getting more affectionate of him.
They didn't even meet again!
A woman's heart is like an underwater needle.
I can't get it.
Han Jue took a closer look. No one on his list had any progress in their cultivation.
This is great.
First, he set a small goal to surpass Fairy Xi Xuan.
Han Jue closed the attribute panel and continued cultivating with a high spirit.Three years later.
Han Jue's fire cultivation potential had reached the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The Thunder Spiritual Pool had a much higher density of Spirit Qi than out here. So, his cultivation had been slower.
At this rate, he would need another twelve years before he would reach the third level of Foundation Establishment Realm for his other four types of spirit energy.
Anyway, he could live for 187 years now. There was ample time!
"However, if I cultivate all six types of cultivation potential to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, I'll probably come very close to the end of my lifespan."
Han Jue thought silently.
Cultivating all six elements would take six times longer than if he only cultivated one.
The Thunder Spiritual Pool came to Han Jue's mind.
It seemed like he had to make use of these spiritual pools.
In the Jade Pure Sect, other than the Thunder Spiritual Pool, there were other spiritual pools. There were a total of eight attributes. The other two attributes were metal and ice.
The Jade Pure Sect was indeed very resourceful.
This was good too. Han Jue didn't need to change sects.
Several days later.
A bell suddenly rang on Jade Serene Peak.
Han Jue opened his eyes and stood up immediately.
Once the bell rang, it meant that Fairy Xi Xuan was summoning all the disciples.
This was the first time in the many years he had been here he was summoned.
"I hope it's not something troublesome. I still want to continue cultivating."
Han Jue thought silently.
After walking out of the cave abode, he bumped into Chang Yue'er.
"Junior, long time no see. Hey! You've reached the Foundation Establishment Realm?" Chang Yue'er greeted him with a smile. Then, her eyes widened.
She was only in the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm and couldn't see through Han Jue's cultivation level, but she could feel that Han Jue's spiritual power was very strong, far beyond what Qi Refinement Realm cultivators could radiate.
Han Jue smiled humbly. "I was just lucky."
Chang Yue'er was secretly shocked.
Could Junior have surpassed me?
No!
I have to hurry up and cultivate. I can't lose to my junior.
[Chang Yue'er's favorability towards you has decreased. Current favorability: 1.5 star.]
Han Jue was confused.
What the hell?
Did I say something wrong?
Chang Yue'er chuckled as she brought Han Jue up the mountain as if nothing had happened.
Along the way, they met other disciples of the Jade Serene Peak. Han Jue was the youngest and had to address everyone as a senior.
Different from what he had imagined, there were other male disciples in Jade Serene Peak as well. There were quite a number of them, and all of them looked imposing.
There was approximately an equal number of male and female disciples.
Reaching Jade Serene Hall's gate, they knelt and waited patiently.
During this time, Han Jue was sized up by the others.
The female disciples all smiled at him.
But no one developed a favorability towards him.
These disciples had already cultivated here for many years, unlike Chang Yue'er who had only joined the Jade Serene Peak a few years earlier than Han Jue.
More and more disciples arrived.
When the gate opened, Han Jue counted fifty-six disciples in total.
Even the most downtrodden Jade Serene Peak had so many disciples, let alone the other peaks.
Most of the disciples were stronger than Han Jue, so he couldn't see through their cultivation.
After entering the hall, Han Jue made sure he was at the back.
As the junior, he naturally had to be ranked last so as to avoid offending some petty seniors.
Mats had already been placed in two rows within the hall, allowing the disciples to sit facing each other.
Han Jue sat at the back, facing Chang Yue'er.
She winked at him like a child.
Childish!
Han Jue quietly raised his middle finger.
Chang Yue'er didn't understand this gesture. She thought it was a secret signal and also pointed her middle finger at him.At this moment, Fairy Xi Xuan spoke. "Sect Master has just made a decision. In the upcoming inter-peak sparring competitions, the three peaks ranked last will each choose ten disciples to go fight against the Viridescent Nether Cult. All these years, the Viridescent Nether Cult has been sending spies to scheme against our Jade Pure Sect. Sect Master is prepared to counterattack."
Han Jue observed the others' expressions and realized no one was panicking.
Eh?
Isn't Jade Serene Peak ranked one of the lowest?
Han Jue had always thought Jade Serene Peak was the weakest peak.
Liu Sanxin, the First Disciple, smiled and said, "Master, although we aren't that outstanding, we have always been in the top ten. Don't worry."
The other disciples agreed.
"No matter how low profile we are, it's impossible for us to be at the bottom."
"The Viridescent Nether Cult is getting really rampant."
"I heard that there are many spies of the Viridescent Nether Cult in the outer sect."
"We have to be careful when recruiting new disciples. The Cult's spies don't even cultivate fiendish techniques."
"We should have dealt with the Viridescent Nether Cult long ago. Every time I go out to train, I will meet their pompous disciples."
Han Jue listened in silence.
Fairy Xi Xuan said, "I'm naturally not worried about the ranking. However, this also means that the Jade Pure Sect and the Viridescent Nether Cult will fight sooner or later. So, take up missions regarding the Viridescent Nether Cult from now on. Although we keep a low profile, we should still contribute to the sect."
The disciples nodded.
"Han Jue." Fairy Xi Xuan suddenly called out.
Han Jue hurriedly got up.
The other disciples looked at him.
"You reached the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm from the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm in just a few years after entering the peak. Seems like you're a genius," said Fairy Xi Xuan with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
The speed of progression was unbelievable.
Han Jue replied, "I was just lucky…"
Master, I don't want to be high-profile.
"Recently, the sect has come up with a nurturing program that targets the most outstanding geniuses of each peak. They will be groomed together and will become the trump cards of the younger generation of the Jade Pure Sect. I would like to recommend you," said Fairy Xi Xuan with a smile. The way the disciples looked at him changed.
Han Jue immediately knelt and said in fear and trepidation, "Master, I don't want to go. I don't deserve it! I only want to stay on Jade Serene Peak and cultivate in peace. I don't want to fight for fame and fortune. Furthermore, I'm new here, I should leave such an opportunity to my seniors!"
It's definitely a trap!
Han Jue knew what was going on.
Even if he was really a top-notch genius, he didn't have the qualifications.
To become a core disciple of the sect right after entering. How can it not be a trap?
Is Fairy Xi Xuan testing me?
If he was a spy from the Viridescent Nether Cult, he would definitely seize this opportunity.
"Really?" Fairy Xi Xuan narrowed her eyes.
Han Jue nodded and said, "Absolutely!"
Fairy Xi Xuan nodded.
Han Jue heaved a sigh of relief and sat down.
The stares of the other disciples softened.
[Liu Sanxin has a good impression of you. Current favorability: 1 star.]
I knew it!
The First Disciple wants to go!
It would be a huge embarrassment for the First Disciple if he weren't given this chance.
Fairy Xi Xuan looked at Liu Sanxin and said, "It should be you, then. You're the first disciple of Jade Serene Peak. Don't cause trouble."
"I understand!"
Liu Sanxin smiled, and the other disciples congratulated him.

Chapter 11: The Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment Realm, An Opportunity from the Tree Spirit
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After leaving the Jade Serene Peak, Han Jue was about to return to his cave abode when Liu Sanxin approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Liu Sanxin smiled and said, "Junior, I appreciate your good intentions. If you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to ask me for help."
Han Jue blinked and said, "I wish you success, senior!"
How could he deny a favor that came knocking on his door?
"Haha!"
Liu Sanxin laughed and left.
Han Jue had only taken a few steps when Chang Yue'er caught up to him.
"Junior, you haven't done any sect missions yet, right? Do you want me to guide you through one?" Chang Yue'er asked with a smile.
"No thanks, I want to cultivate."
"Cultivating in the cave abode is very slow. You can earn spirit stones by completing missions and then go to various spiritual pools to cultivate. It's much more efficient. At the same time, you'll also get contribution points by completing missions. If your contribution points are high, you can buy pills."
"Nevermind. I'm afraid of death."
"How can we cultivators be afraid of death?"
"If you're not afraid of death, why are you cultivating?!"
"You…"
Chang Yue'er was vexed with him.
Why is this junior so cowardly!
Han Jue didn't go because he had a lot of spirit stones.
"Hmph, so be it!"
Chang Yue'er turned around and left.
Han Jue fell into deep thought.
Indeed, he couldn't cultivate in the cave abode. He had to go to the spiritual pools.
It would be too risky to go after a hundred years when he was closer to death.
Thinking that Han Jue immediately headed towards the inner sect city.Ten years passed in a flash.
Han Jue had been wandering around the various Spiritual Pools. He had spent nearly 400 superior-grade spirit stones. His cultivation level had reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment realm and all six types of cultivation potentials had reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
At this rate, even if he spent the remaining 400 or so superior-grade spirit stones, he still wouldn't be able to reach the Golden Core realm.
Han Jue began to concentrate on cultivating the thunder spiritual energy and fire spiritual energy.
He couldn't spend all the spirit stones. There would definitely be expenses later on.
Another ten years!
He might as well finish cultivating his Thunder Cultivation Potential at the spiritual pool and then cultivate his fire spiritual energy in the cave abode.
That's it!
After making up his mind, Han Jue headed straight to the Thunder Spiritual Pool.
No cultivator could be seen in the Thunder Spiritual Pool. But Han Jue wasn't afraid of loneliness.
"Brat, you're here again. I thought you were a genius before. Why are you still only at the third level of the Foundation Establishment realm after so many years?"
The tree spirit couldn't help but tease.
Han Jue shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's precisely because I have no talent, that's why I cultivate so diligently."
"True."
After saying that, the Tree Demon closed his eyes.
Han Jue was a regular visitor, so he didn't need to remind him.
Soon, Han Jue entered his cultivation state.
Time quickly passed.
Year after year passed.
Five years later.
Han Jue's Thunder Cultivation Potential had already reached the seventh stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Mo Fuchou had returned with a female disciple.
This female disciple was extremely beautiful, and her mannerisms also had the bearing of a noble lady.
"Brother Han, you're also here!" Mo Fuchou said with surprise.
Han Jue opened his eyes.
He smiled and replied, "Brother Mo, you're here too."
Mo Fuchou was an absolute genius. Through his interpersonal relationships, Han Jue noticed that he had already reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.
Although nearly twenty years had passed, to be able to break through two levels in the Foundation Establishment realm and head towards the Golden Core realm, what else could one be but a genius?
"Let me introduce you. This is my junior at Heavenly Thunder Peak. She's also my younger sister from my clan, Mo Zhu," Mo Fuchou said with a smile.
Han Jue cupped his hands and said, "I'm Han Jue from Jade Serene Peak."
Mo Zhu nodded and carefully sized him up. She asked, "Why are you still at the third level of the Foundation Establishment realm? My elder brother said that you might already be at the sixth level."
Han Jue smiled and said, "I want to do it steadily. Hey, let's quickly start our cultivation."
With that, he sat down.
Although Mo Fuchou was curious about his cultivation level, he didn't ask further.
The two of them quickly began to meditate.
Not long after, they were surprised to discover that Han Jue's absorption speed far exceeded theirs.
"What kind of cultivation technique is he cultivating? No, it's his cultivation potential!"
Mo Fuchou was shocked.
Mo Zhu also looked at Han Jue in surprise.
Han Jue wasn't bothered by their reaction. He had to hurry.
Every minute was spirit stones!Three years later.
Mo Fuchou and Mo Zhu prepared to leave.
Mo Fuchou looked at Han Jue. He wanted to say something, but seeing how focused Han Jue was, he didn't want to disturb him.
The two left the Thunder Spiritual Pool.
"Brother, why didn't Han Jue's cultivation level increase?" Mo Zhu asked curiously.
Given the speed at which Han Jue absorbed spiritual Qi, he should have broken through long ago.
Mo Fuchou had a complicated look in his eyes as he said, "This person definitely has a method to suppress his cultivation level. I'm afraid his cultivation level has already caught up to mine—ninth stage Foundation Establishment Realm!"
Mo Zhu widened her beautiful eyes and said, "You said that twenty years ago, he was only at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm… So fast…"
Mo Fuchou took a deep breath and said, "Jade Serene Peak is packed with ascetics. I didn't expect such a genius to appear. Let's go. We have to work as hard as him."
Mo Zhu nodded.
At the same time.
Han Jue saw two lines of words:
[Mo Fuchou's favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 2 stars.]
[Mo Zhu's favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 2 stars.]
Han Jue was indifferent.
He had already reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment Realm and was currently attempting to break through.
Half a year later, Han Jue finally cultivated his lightning spiritual energy to perfection. Even if he wanted to cultivate it again, it would be impossible.
He stood up and prepared to leave.
"Boy, it appears that you possess a method to suppress your cultivation. You're truly remarkable," the tree spirit said with a laugh. His tone was no longer laced with mockery.
Han Jue shrugged and smiled.
He walked to the teleportation formation and was about to leave.
"I have an opportunity here. Do you want to take it?" asked the tree spirit.
Han Jue raised his eyebrows. "No."
The tree spirit was stunned. "You can get large amounts of spirit stones, sect contribution points, and even equipment and treasures. Are you sure you don't want to try?"
"Is it dangerous?"
"If you want a good opportunity, you naturally have to take the risk."
"Then, forget it. I don't want to die."
"You…"
The tree spirit trembled in exasperation and disbelief.
Han Jue urged, "Please let me out. I still have to return to my cave abode to enter seclusion."
The tree spirit snorted and activated the formation, sending him out.
Han Jue received the refund of a year-and-a-half worth of spirit stones in the pavilion. He still had nearly 300 spirit stones in his storage bag.
He didn't return to his cave abode immediately but headed for the Salary Building.
After all these years, he hadn't received his salary. He should take it.
The Jade Pure Sect would give out salary once a year. They could leave it there and collect it in one go.
The Salary Building was one of the most bustling pavilions in the Jade Pure Sect. There were many disciples, and they had to line up to receive their pay.
Han Jue's temperament attracted the attention of many female cultivators. The male cultivators also quickly noticed him.
As Han Jue's cultivation level continued to increase, his unparalleled charisma was also fully displayed.
The System could hide his cultivation, but not his charm.
"Who's this person? He's so handsome. I never knew we had a man like this in the Jade Pure Sect!"
"I've seen him before. He seems to be a disciple of Jade Serene Peak."
"Tsk tsk. He looks like he's walked out from a painting."
"The disciples of Jade Serene Peak all have good looks."
"Do any of you know his name?"
Han Jue pretended not to notice the discussions around him.
After receiving his salary, he quickly fled, causing the female cultivators who wanted to strike up a conversation to feel endless regret.
Just as he walked out of the building, Han Jue bumped into Mo Zhu.
"Brother Han, you're here. How fateful!" Mo Zhu said in surprise. She quickly went up and held his arm.
Han Jue's face froze.

Chapter 12: Seven Illusionary Steps, Ten Thousand Demon Realm
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The female cultivators who walked out of the Salary Building frowned when they saw Mo Zhu holding Han Jue's arm.
They all wailed in their hearts.
Han Jue quickly pulled his back and kept a distance from her.
Mo Zhu smiled warmly. "Brother Han, I have something that I need your help with."
The side storyline is here!
Reject!
Han Jue shook his head and said, "Sorry, I still have to go back and cultivate."
"Cultivate? This is a huge opportunity you don't want to miss. Have you heard of…" Mo Zhu hurriedly said.
She suddenly noticed the female cultivators behind Han Jue and felt that it wasn't convenient to talk here, so she started dragging him away.
"Miss Mo, don't pull me."
"I'm not even afraid as a woman. As a man, how can you be afraid?"
"Master forbids us from having romantic feelings."
"Pffft, we've only met twice. Do you think I'll fall in love with you?"
Mo Zhu's face instantly turned red.
She secretly glanced at him.
Brother Han was indeed good-looking. This was the first time she had seen such a good-looking man.
If they became companions…
Even Mo Zhu's ears turned red.
Han Jue noticed her expression and felt that something was wrong.
A sign of danger.
He had yet to reach the Golden Core Realm, so he couldn't have romantic feelings.
Mo Zhu was beautiful, but she couldn't ruin his dedication to cultivation.
Han Jue immediately took a step to the side and kept a one-meter distance from her, walking side by side.
The two of them walked to a deserted alley.
"So, what is it?" Han Jue asked.
Mo Zhu looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, she asked in a low voice, "Brother Han, have you heard of Li Qianlong?"
"Never heard of him."
"What? You've never heard of Li Qianlong?"
"Get to the point!"
Han Jue was a bit frustrated.
Although he was almost fifty years old in this lifetime, he had never left the Jade Pure Sect. He couldn't even recognize the famous people of the sect, let alone the entire cultivation world.
"Li Qianlong is the most talented individual Jade Pure Sect has seen in a hundred years. It's said that he's almost at the Soul Formation Realm. His cave abode is located on a huge mountain outside the Jade Pure Sect. He has cast many forbidding spells on his cave abode, which renders it concealed. Recently, I received news that his cave abode has appeared. However, he has a beast guarding it. The beast is afraid of lightning. We're all thunder cultivators. We will definitely be able to subdue it!" The more Mo Zhu spoke, the more excited she became.
Han Jue asked, "Where's your brother?"
"The inner sect competition ended last year. He was chosen by the Sect Master to be especially groomed, so I couldn't find him."
Han Jue raised his eyebrows.
It's over?
Crap.
He had cultivated for too long and forgot such a major event. He hoped that Fairy Xi Xuan would not blame him.
"If what you said is true, why aren't the sect leaders personally going to retrieve this cave abode?" Han Jue asked.
Mo Zhu shrugged and said, "His cave abode isn't that important to the sect. However, to us Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it's a huge opportunity."
Han Jue asked, "How did you know about this?"
"A friend of mine told me. It isn't on the mission board."
It must be a trap!
Definitely not going!
Han Jue immediately refused. "It's too dangerous. I'm not going. Let me give you a piece of advice. Don't participate, or you'll die very miserably!"
With that, he turned around and left.
"You…"
Mo Zhu stomped her feet in anger.
However, it didn't negatively affect her impression of Han Jue. Instead, she was beginning to hesitate.
Even a genius like Han Jue doesn't dare to go. Could there really be danger?After returning to the Jade Serene Peak, Han Jue went to the Jade Serene Hall and knelt at the gate.
The inner sect competition was an important event. If he was the only one who didn't go spectate from the Jade Serene Peak, he would be in huge trouble.
"Come in, I have something to talk to you about."
Fairy Xi Xuan's voice drifted over as the door opened.
After entering the hall, Han Jue discovered that Fairy Xi Xuan wasn't alone. Chang Yue'er and an old man were also present.
Wait!
This old man…
He's Elder Iron!
Han Jue was stunned but continued to move forward.
Upon seeing him, Elder Iron's face froze in confusion.
"This kid is a disciple of the Jade Serene Peak as well? How can this be possible!?"
Elder Iron was in disbelief.
"This is a new disciple of the Jade Serene Peak. He will be your junior from now on. You can just call him Junior Iron," said Fairy Xi Xuan.
Han Jue nodded and looked at Elder Iron. "Junior Iron, if you have any trouble in the future, feel free to look for me."
Elder Iron gritted his teeth and said, "Han Jue, how did you become an inner sect disciple?!"
He was shocked to find that he couldn't see through Han Jue's cultivation.
In just over twenty years, Han Jue had surpassed him from a mere mortal?
Fairy Xi Xuan wasn't surprised that they knew each other. Instead, she asked, "Why are you still at the third level of the Foundation Establishment realm?"
Third level of the Foundation Establishment realm!
Elder Iron was even more shocked. He had worked so hard to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, but Han Jue was already at the third level?
Han Jue was afraid that Elder Iron would sabotage him, so he had to demonstrate his value to Fairy Xi Xuan. Thus, he no longer hid his cultivation level. "Master, I'm already at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. I just wanted to keep a low profile, so I hid my cultivation level."
Elder Iron and Chang Yue'er widened their eyes upon hearing that.
"Junior! How did you break through so quickly?" Chang Yue'er exclaimed.
She literally watched Han Jue leap from the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
It was too ridiculous!
Han Jue explained, "I've been cultivating in the Thunder Spiritual Pool and didn't dare to slack off. That's why I made such progress."
Fairy Xi Xuan smiled in satisfaction and said, "If everyone on the Jade Serene Peak was as hardworking as you, Jade Serene Peak would definitely become the strongest peak of the Jade Pure Sect."
[You kept a low profile to cultivate. You have successfully obtained Fairy Xi Xuan's recognition. You're rewarded with a movement technique manual.]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Seven Illusionary Steps.]
Han Jue concealed his excitement and quickly said, "Master, you're flattering me. I just like to cultivate. That's all."
Elder Iron tried his best to calm down.
He knew that he couldn't suppress Han Jue anymore.
It was best to forget what happened in the past. If he told Fairy Xi Xuan about it, she might become unhappy with him.
He suddenly felt nervous.
With Han Jue's cultivation, killing him was as easy as flipping his hand.
No!
He had to resolve this grudge!
"Since you like to cultivate so much, I will assign you a mission to guard the Jade Pure Sect's Ten Thousand Demon Realm." Fairy Xi Xuan's smile suddenly turned incomprehensible.
Ten Thousand Demon Realm…
It sounded so awesome and so dangerous!
Han Jue instinctively wanted to decline, but he still asked carefully, "Master, what's the Ten Thousand Demon Realm?"
Chang Yue'er said excitedly, "It's the place where the Jade Pure Sect raises its beasts. Master, I want to go too. Let me accompany Junior Han so that he won't be bullied!"
Fairy Xi Xuan glared at her, scaring her so much that she didn't dare to say anything else.
"Every peak will send a disciple to guard the Ten Thousand Demon Realm. Because there are many kinds of beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm, the Spirit Qi there is concentrated. It's a very suitable place for you to cultivate, but dangers also exist. There are often cases where the beasts go berserk and disciples are brutally killed," Fairy Xi Xuan explained to him.
She spoke with a tone that left no way for Han Jue to decline it. But, the silver lining was that it was a good place for him to cultivate.
Fighting beasts was better than contesting with other people.
Isn't it just being a zookeeper? Fine!
"I will follow Master's arrangements." Han Jue cupped his hands.
Fairy Xi Xuan nodded and said, "Pack up and head straight to the Pet Beast Pavilion. Someone will bring you to the Ten Thousand Demon Realm. The previous one stationed there is your First Senior. Now that he's under the Sect Master, only you can go. If the mission is successful, I will reward you. In addition, you will receive ten superior-grade spirit stones for every year you guard the Ten Thousand Demon Realm. You can stay there as long as you want as this is a continuous sect mission. Before you go, you can receive the mission first."

Chapter 13: Mysterious Beast, The Sect Master's Missing
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Before returning to his cave abode, Han Jue first inherited the Seven Illusionary Steps.
He had to strengthen himself first to prevent any mishaps.
[Unparalleled Movement Technique: Top-notch movement technique aptitude]
With this connate providence, Han Jue completely grasped the Seven Illusionary Steps in two hours.
There were a total of seven levels to this footwork technique. For every level one mastered, one could create a shadow clone of himself. With seven shadow clones, it would be easy to make the enemy confused about which one would be the real person. Using this footwork technique, one could also greatly increase one's speed of escape.
After mastering it, Han Jue returned to his cave abode to pack his things before heading to the inner sect city.
He first went to the mission building to receive the mission before heading to the Pet Beast Pavilion.In the Jade Serene Hall.
Fairy Xi Xuan stared emotionlessly at Elder Iron and slowly said, "I don't wish to delve into the stories between you and Han Jue. From today onwards, you're fellow disciples. You must respect him. With my understanding of him, he won't scheme against you. You can rest assured."
Elder Iron knelt in the hall and sighed, nodding slowly.
"In the future, Han Jue will be my personal disciple. If you build a good relationship with him, it will only be beneficial to you. As long as it's not a grudge about life and death, you should reconcile."
Fairy Xi Xuan's words shocked Elder Iron.
Personal disciple!
Fairy Xi Xuan thinks so highly of Han Jue?
When he thought of Han Jue's insane speed at cultivating, he could only admit.
That kid's indeed worthy!Walking out of the teleportation formation, Han Jue arrived at the Ten Thousand Demon Realm.
The sky of the Ten Thousand Demon Realm was covered in dark clouds as if it were about to rain at any moment.
Han Jue took out his flying sword and shot up into the sky.
According to the instructions of the disciples at the Pet Beast Pavilion, he had to find the pavilion of the Jade Serene Peak first. That would be his residence. There were forbidding spells cast on the pavilion, and ordinary beasts wouldn't dare to approach.
Of course, he couldn't hide in the pavilion forever. If he encountered a rampage, he had to take action to reduce the losses for the Jade Pure Sect.
The Jade Pure Sect had spent a lot of money to buy all the beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm, and nurturing them also required a lot of resources.
The pavilion wasn't far from the teleportation formation, and Han Jue quickly found it.
It was two stories high, and it wasn't very big. The house was deserted.
After familiarizing himself with the mechanisms to trigger the forbidding spells, Han Jue began to meditate and cultivate.
The long and boring cultivation began again!
A year and a half passed quickly.
Han Jue was already 50 years old.
[Name: Han Jue]
[Lifespan: 50 / 196]
[Race: Mortal]
[Cultivation: Ninth Level of the Foundation Establishment realm]
[Technique: Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique (Can be inherited)]
[Magic: Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword, Seven Illusionary Steps]
[Mystical Power: None]
[Equipment: None]
[Cultivation Potential: Spiritual Physique of the Six Paths. It contains top-notch wind, fire, water, earth, wood, and thunder cultivation potentials. Increases providence to a certain extent.]
[Connate providence is as follows]
[Unparalleled: Immortal beauty, top-notch charm]
[Destined Sword Fanatic: Top-notch Sword Dao aptitude, top-notch Sword Dao learning ability]
[Unparalleled Movement Technique: Top-notch movement technique aptitude]
[Descendant of the Immortal Emperor: After the game begins, you will receive an unparalleled cultivation technique and 1,000 superior-grade spirit stones.]
[Check interpersonal relationships]He cultivated his wind cultivation potential to the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. Apart from the thunder spirit root, the other cultivation potentials were still at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Since Han Jue had nothing to do, he opened his interpersonal relationships to check.
Xing Hongxuan had broken through to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm.
Interesting.
Elder Iron was still in the first level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Han Jue opened the email.
[Your good friend Mo Zhu was attacked by a fiendish cultivator and was almost seriously injured.]
[Your good friend Mo Zhu was attacked by disciples of the Jade Pure Sect. She was in a perilous situation and fell down a cliff.]
Han Jue was speechless.
As expected, there was a trap in that cave abode. Fortunately, he did not go.
It was very unfortunate for her. Han Jue could only pray for her silently.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a roar came from outside the pavilion. Han Jue frowned and stood up immediately.
As he walked out the door, he saw a white cat standing on a branch.
This white cat had a slender figure, but there were white tiger patterns on it. Its purple eyes looked even more demonic.
Han Jue didn't sense any danger and ignored the little white cat.
At this moment!
The white cat suddenly pounced on Han Jue.
Han Jue instinctively used the Seven Illusionary Steps to dodge.
The white cat slammed into the wall of the pavilion, kicked off with its four legs, turned around, and continued to pounce on Han Jue.
Han Jue frowned. The forbidding spells weren't triggered?
He quickly jumped out into the clearing.
The white cat pounced again, its speed several times faster than before.
"So fast!"
Han Jue used the Seven Illusionary Steps and created seven shadow clones to surround the white cat. The seven Han Jues raised their hands at the same time to use the Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword.
The white cat looked around, caught off-guard, and was hit by the real sword energy.
Blood splattered as it wailed.
It quickly jumped away and disappeared into the woods.
Han Jue retracted his hand and returned to the pavilion.
He let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Fortunately, he had learned the Seven Illusionary Steps beforehand. Otherwise, with the white cat's speed, he wouldn't have been its match.
"Where did that white cat come from? It's so fast, but luckily, it doesn't have any other attack methods."
Han Jue thought silently.
It seemed like he had to be more cautious in the future.
After thinking about it, Han Jue continued to cultivate.Inside a palace.
The elders of the eighteen peaks were gathered here.
"Sect Master is not here. We have to investigate the recent rampage in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm," an elder said.
He was the teaching elder of the Heavenly Thunder Peak, Old Immortal Daoist Thunder.
"It's rather fishy. I keep having the feeling that it's related to the Viridescent Nether Cult."
"That's right. The fiendish cultivators from the Viridescent Nether Cult appeared in the nearby Li Qianlong's cave abode. I suspect there's a traitor in our higher-ups. Once the Sect Leader left, they started a series of actions."
"Could it be that the Cult wants to make use of the beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm?"
"Very likely. After two hundred years of training by the Jade Pure Sect, the Ten Thousand Demon Realm has become a force that cannot be underestimated."
"Let's send more disciples into the Ten Thousand Demon Realm."
The elders were all talking at once.
Fairy Xi Xuan sat quietly without interrupting.
After a long discussion, the peaks finally decided to send two more disciples into the Ten Thousand Demon Realm.
The elders left. Just as Fairy Xi Xuan was about to leave, Old Immortal Daoist Thunder suddenly called out to her.
When only the two of them were left in the hall, Old Immortal Daoist Thunder asked, "Junior, why didn't you say anything just now?"
Fairy Xi Xuan said calmly, "You can decide on these matters."
Old Immortal Daoist Thunder narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know where the Sect Leader brought those 18 core candidates to?"
Fairy Xi Xuan didn't reply.
"If there really is a traitor among the elders, then the only person I can trust is you, junior. We have to work together," Old Immortal Daoist Thunder said seriously.
Fairy Xi Xuan replied, "Of course. After all, we were taught by the same master."
Old Immortal Daoist Thunder smiled in satisfaction.Ten Thousand Demon Realm.
It had been two years since the white cat left. Han Jue's five spiritual powers had all reached the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Cultivating steadily!
He was already halfway to the Golden Core realm.
"My young friend, are you using the Ten Thousand Demon Realm as your training ground?"
A mocking voice sounded. Han Jue opened his eyes and saw that an old man had appeared at the door.
The old man was wearing a coarse cloth robe. He was shaking a wine gourd, and his nose was red from over-drinking.
Han Jue frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
He actually didn't sense the old man's approach.
Dangerous!

Chapter 14: The Demon King, Obtained an Unparalleled Sword Technique
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Like you, I'm also a disciple of the Jade Pure Sect who's here to look after the Ten Thousand Demon Realm."
The red-nosed old man chuckled. He sized up Han Jue and clicked his tongue in wonder.
"The third level of the Foundation Establishment realm, but looking at the rate of your expiration, I'd say you definitely ain't only at the third level. You're probably at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. Am I right?"
Han Jue couldn't help but tense up.
His true cultivation had been discovered.
This was the first time he had met someone who could tell his cultivation.
Could it be that this person's cultivation was the same as Fairy Xi Xuan's?
"You don't have to be nervous. Did you volunteer to come here, or did your master send you here?" asked the red-nosed old man.
Looking at how Han Jue cultivated, he didn't seem to have volunteered to come.
Han Jue replied, "My master, Fairy Xi Xuan, sent me here."
I have a backing, don't try tricking me!
[Li Qingzi has a favorable impression of you. Current favorability: 1 star.]
A line of words appeared in front of Han Jue.
He quickly checked the list of his attributes and checked his interpersonal relationships.
[Li Qingzi: Eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm, Sect Master of Jade Pure Sect, adores Fairy Xi Xuan. Current Favorability: 1 star]
The Sect Master of the Jade Pure Sect!
Isn't that the biggest boss?
Han Jue was shocked.
This old dude actually has an affection towards my master?
The thought of Li Qingzi and Fairy Xi Xuan together made him shudder.
Li Qingzi is not worthy!
"Did your master give you a mission?" Li Qingzi asked.
Han Jue replied, "Even if there is, how can I tell you?"
Li Qingzi smiled. "Oh? You can't tell others about the mission?"
Han Jue remained silent.
Li Qingzi stretched lazily and smiled. "Come with me, then. You've gotten into trouble. Since you're Fairy Xi Xuan's disciple, I can help you settle it."
Puzzled, Han Jue got up and followed.
As the Sect Master of the Jade Pure Sect, Li Qingzi shouldn't be intending to harm him.
The two of them walked into the forest.
"Do you know why I'm here?" Li Qingzi placed his hands behind his back and asked with a smile.
Han Jue shook his head.
Maybe because you're a simp. But of course, he wouldn't say that. He couldn't let his sect master lose face.
"The number of beasts around you is increasing. It looks like they are likely to go into a rampage. The key is that these beasts are very well-behaved at the moment, as if they are waiting for the moment. To be able to command so many beasts, it must be the doing of a Demon King. You have probably provoked the Tiger Heart White Dragon. This little fellow's father is a famous Demon King, and it inherited the Demon King's bloodline. The reason it summoned so many beasts is probably to take revenge against you."
After hearing Li Qingzi's words, Han Jue recalled the white cat from two years ago.
Could that be the White Tiger Heart?
Han Jue recounted his experience.
"You're faster than Tiger Heart White Dragon?" Li Qingzi asked in surprise.
Can it be that this kid has already become Junior Xi Xuan's personal disciple?
Thinking of what Fairy Xi Xuan had said, Li Qingzi couldn't help but nod.
[Li Qingzi's favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 1.5 stars]
Han Jue raised his eyebrows and said, "I learned a movement technique. It's normal for me to be faster."
He immediately felt better.
It seemed like it wasn't that he was weak, but that the Tiger Heart White Dragon was truly fast. If it was any other disciple, they probably wouldn't have been able to keep up!
Following Li Qingzi, Han Jue arrived in front of a cliff. He looked down and saw the figures of beasts everywhere in the wilderness below.
The beasts all had terrifying looks. The big ones were as big as hills, while the small ones were all kinds of insect-like beasts the size of a pail.
This was the first time Han Jue saw a scene like this. He couldn't help but pale.
He estimated that there were at least a thousand beasts.
If all of them were to charge at the pavilion he was in, there was no way for him to defend it. He would only be able to flee.
His gaze landed on a large rock. The white cat from two years ago was sleeping soundly on it.
Han Jue was speechless.
I'm too lucky! Bumping into a little demon king straight away!
"Sir, you said you are going to help me deal with it. Are you going to kill it?" Han Jue asked.
Li Qingzi glared at him and said, "This Tiger Heart White Dragon has great potential. Won't the sect find trouble with me if I kill it?"
Han Jue said gloomily, "Then, how do we resolve the problem?"
"You can go tame it!"
Li Qingzi pinched his beard and smiled.
Hearing this, Han Jue turned around and left immediately.
With so many demonic beasts, how am I going to tame it?
"Little brat, why are you leaving!"
Li Qingzi quickly pressed on his shoulder and questioned.
Why did Junior accept such a disciple!
"I'll set up a formation and trap them here. Five years at most. If you can tame the Tiger Heart White Dragon within five years, I'll reward you with the Pure Jade Sect's ultimate technique," Li Qingzi said seriously.
[The Sect Master of the Jade Pure Sect has given you a mission. You have the following choices.]
1
1
Eh?
A demon king's hatred?
The attention of the Viridescent Nether Cult?
Han Jue almost exploded.
He immediately phrased his response. "I think I won't do it, sir. You should find someone else. I'm really afraid. I just want to cultivate in peace."
Li Qingzi was stunned.
He frowned and said, "I can teach you the Pure Jade Sect's supreme cultivation technique, the Pure Jade Technique!"
Comparable to my Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique?
Han Jue still shook his head.
[Li Qingzi's favorability towards you has decreased. Current favorability: 0.5 stars]
Li Qingzi snorted. "Then get lost!"
Han Jue bowed and fled quickly.
Li Qingzi sighed. "Is the person Junior arranged not him?"Back in the pavilion.
Han Jue chose the second option.
[You rejected Li Qingzi's mission and obtained a sword technique manual.]
[Congratulations on obtaining the unparalleled sword technique—Three Pure Shadow Sword]
An unparalleled sword technique?
Han Jue rejoiced. Finally!
Although the Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword was not bad, its range was limited. The sword Qi it shot out was more like bullets. If he was faced with the large-scale invasion of beasts, it would be very difficult to do anything.
He didn't inherit it immediately but waited.
An hour later, he began to inherit this sword technique.
As he inherited the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique, Han Jue's body began to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Not long after, a strong eddy encircled the pavilion.
The surrounding trees swayed as if a storm was about to arrive.
This strange phenomenon lasted for an hour.
The inheritance was completed.
Han Jue's top-notch aptitude in the Sword Dao allowed him to inherit the technique without any difficulties.
Inside the room, Han Jue suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in them. He raised his hand and made a hand seal, mobilizing the spiritual force in his body to execute the Three Pure Shadow Sword.
Three sword shadows with different colors appeared behind him.
The thunder spiritual force sword shadow zapped with flashes!
The fire spiritual force sword shadow was like raging flames, burning fiercely.
The wind spiritual force sword shadow was blue-green, and the blade was surrounded by strong winds!
"What a powerful sword technique! Unparalleled, indeed!"
Han Jue immediately stood up and walked out of the pavilion. The three sword shadows floated behind him like his shadow.
Using his finger as a sword, he pointed forward.
The three sword shadows behind him zoomed forward at an extremely fast speed. They were even faster than the Tiger Heart White Dragon. They were like three different colored lightning bolts!
Boom—
Blinding sword flashes bloomed. Dozens of trees within a hundred meters radius were chopped into three parts by the sword shadows. The chopped tree trunks soared into the sky, and its leaves withered. It was a spectacular scene!
As the trees fell back to the ground, dust was flung into the air.
So powerful!
Han Jue was pleasantly surprised.
This is what I call unparalleled technique!
So strong!
He hadn't even used his full strength.
If he were to face the army of beasts, he would turn the battlefield into a meat grinder in minutes!

Chapter 15: Defeat the Beasts With the Sword Shadows
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After learning the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique, Han Jue became much more confident.
He could now produce three sword shadows, each of a different attribute.
And he could manipulate all of them with ease!
The technique could also be activated continuously. When the sword shadows of the first activation disappeared, he could summon another three, until he ran out of spirit energy.
Han Jue's spirit energy far surpassed cultivators of the same realm. After all, he cultivated the technique inherited from the Immortal Emperor, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique!
Apart from cultivating six types of spirit energy, each type of spirit energy in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique could be cultivated to a robust state.
"From today on, I'm no longer a weakling."
Han Jue thought proudly.
He returned to the pavilion in high spirits and prepared to continue cultivating.
Cultivation was the key.
The higher one's cultivation level was, the stronger the effects of his techniques!
When he reached the Nascent Soul realm, his Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique would have an apocalyptic effect!
Han Jue was looking forward to it!Several days later.
Jade Serene Peak sent over two more disciples. One was Chang Yue'er, and the other was also his senior, Meng He.
Meng He was the Jade Serene Peak's seventh disciple. His cultivation level had reached the ninth-stage Foundation Establishment realm. He was pretty strong.
"Why is the forest outside cut off? What happened?" Meng He asked in confusion.
Han Jue replied, "Previously, beasts tried to besiege me. Fortunately, an elder helped."
Chang Yue'er sized him up and asked, "Junior, are you alright?"
As she spoke, she reached out to touch him.
Han Jue hurriedly took a step back.
Furious, Chang Yue'er scolded him. "Are you serious?"
Han Jue cleared his throat and said, "Master has warned that disciples of Jade Serene Peak are not allowed…"
"Hmph, you wish! I'm just concerned about you!"
Meng He shook his head and laughed.
He didn't find it strange. Although Han Jue kept a low profile, rumors about his good looks had already spread far and wide.
Many female cultivators in the inner sect were talking about a breathtakingly handsome disciple from the Jade Serene Peak, but they didn't know his name.
After hearing the rumors, Meng He immediately reckoned that they were referring to Han Jue.
Not to mention Jade Serene Peak, even in the entire inner sect, no male disciple was more handsome than Han Jue.
Chang Yue'er was quite pretty, but she was still far from the most beautiful female cultivator.
Junior Han Jue doesn't need to worry about finding a companion!
"Master was afraid that you would be in danger, so she sent us to help you. It's said that the Viridescent Nether Cult might have already infiltrated the Ten Thousand Demon Realm. We have to be careful," Meng He reminded.
Viridescent Nether Cult?
Han Jue frowned.
No wonder that if he had subdued the Tiger Heart White Dragon, he would attract the attention of the Cult.
So, they have already infiltrated the Ten Thousand Demon Realm?
Perhaps that's why Li Qingzi came here.
How dangerous!
Han Jue suddenly wanted to leave the Ten Thousand Demon Realm.
"Junior Chang, rest first. I'll go out and take a look."
After saying this, Meng He walked out of the pavilion.
Han Jue walked to the side and continued to meditate, not giving Chang Yue'er a chance to strike up a conversation.
Chang Yue'er curled her lips and also began to cultivate.
Ever since she found out that Han Jue was already at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm, she had spent most of her time cultivating in seclusion. She was fired up.
But regarding Han Jue's cultivation, Fairy Xi Xuan had told her not to spread it out, so the other disciples of the Jade Serene Peak didn't know of his cultivation level.
Two days later.
Meng He finally returned.
He looked like he had run into trouble.
Han Jue and Chang Yue'er hurriedly stood up to attend to him.
Meng He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with lingering fear, "I encountered a very strong beast equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator. I nearly died."
Han Jue asked, "Are there many beasts nearby?"
"There's a group of beasts several kilometers away, but I don't know who trapped them with an array formation. They aren't a threat. The powerful beast I encountered was quite far away, so it won't pose a threat to us," replied Meng He.
"Then, hurry up and recuperate!"
"Yes."
Meng He meditated and circulated his spiritual energy to heal his injuries.
Not long after, he spat out another mouthful of blood. The blood was black. Extremely terrifying.
Was he poisoned?
Lucky I don't wander around.
Indeed, one shouldn't be reckless.
Han Jue pondered as he cultivated.
Chang Yue'er was also very uneasy.
It had only been two days, but Seventh Senior was already injured. The Ten Thousand Demon Realm was a truly savage place.
Why did Junior Han remain unscathed for so many years?
Chang Yue'er looked at Han Jue suspiciously.
Could he be more powerful than Seventh Senior?After Meng He was injured, he didn't dare to wander around anymore.
Han Jue was busy cultivating and didn't go out.
Chang Yue'er naturally didn't dare to go out, either.
A year quickly passed.
That day, Han Jue was cultivating.
Meng He suddenly opened his mouth and said, "The presence of beasts is getting stronger in the vicinity, and they're moving rapidly. Their target… should be us!"
Han Jue and Chang Yue'er opened their eyes upon hearing that.
Han Jue said, "Then, why aren't we running?"
Chang Yue'er frowned. "But this place is under the jurisdiction of the Jade Serene Peak. If we leave, aren't we leaving our post without approval?"
"Then, stay and wait for your death. I'll tell Master about your heroic deeds."
Han Jue stood up.
Chang Yue'er got anxious and stood up as well.
"Junior Han is right. The eighteen peaks each have an area to manage. We definitely won't be the only ones being attacked by the wave of beasts. Other people will definitely run as well," said Meng He.
Ever since his defeat by the powerful best, he had lost his previous confidence.
"As long as we survive, there's hope. Let's go!"
After Han Jue said that, he rushed out of the pavilion. Chang Yue'er and Meng He followed closely behind.
The three of them flew on their swords.
Once they were high in the air, they lowered their heads to take a look. Indeed, with the pavilion as the center, countless beasts were running towards them from all directions.
Cold sweat broke out on Han Jue's forehead.
So many!
It seemed like he was still not vigilant enough. He still needed to train his divine sense.
If not for Meng He's reminder, they would definitely be in huge trouble now.
Swish!
An air-piercing sound came from ahead. The three of them turned their heads and saw a black eagle with a wingspan of thirty feet speeding over. Its feathers were like metal arrows.
"Be careful!"
Meng He immediately took out a talisman and quickly chanted a spell. Three balls of flames shot out from the talisman at the black eagle.
The black eagle dodged rapidly and circled in the air before continuing to pounce on the three of them.
At the same time, other flying beasts also attacked.
Han Jue took a glance. There was a total of seven of them!
All zooming at a break-neck speed.
Chang Yue'er was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her hand holding her equipment trembled.
Also frightened, Meng He shouted, "Let's split up and escape!"
Han Jue cursed silently.
So you want to escape alone!
On the surface, Han Jue and Chang Yue'er's cultivation levels were inferior to Meng He's. They were, in fact, his burden.
Meng He turned around and escaped. He cast a spell and transformed into a gust of wind, escaping extremely quickly.
Chang Yue'er didn't know what to do. This was the first time she had encountered such a dangerous situation.
Seeing the seven demon beasts approaching like rockets, Han Jue immediately used the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique.
The sword shadows immediately materialized and zapped out.
Chang Yue'er only saw a flash of light in front of her, and the seven flying beasts were cut into several pieces, dying on the spot.
She widened her eyes and looked at Han Jue in disbelief.
Han Jue's long hair fluttered in the wind. His eyes were cold and sharp, emitting an awe-inspiring aura.
[Chang Yue'er's favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 4 stars]
Han Jue's expression changed.
Crap!
He turned around and saw that Chang Yue'er was looking at him with glowing eyes.
Meng He had already fled without a trace.
That brat's really quick!
Chang Yue'er excitedly said, "Junior Han, so you're actually this powerful!"
Han Jue said seriously, "Senior Chang, don't tell anyone what you saw. I still want to keep a low profile and cultivate quietly. If I'm exposed, I might become a core candidate. If that happens, you won't be seeing me anymore!"
Chang Yue'er immediately nodded.

Chapter 16: Face the Wall and Repent for a Hundred Years, Connate Cave Abode
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Jue swooped down, and Chang Yue'er hurriedly followed.
"Junior, what are you trying to do?"
Han Jue replied, "Aren't there many valuable materials on the beasts? I need to collect them."
Only now did Han Jue finally realize how powerful he was.
The beasts weren't as strong as he had imagined!
The moment this thought appeared, Han Jue immediately relaxed and was full of confidence.
"Oh, that's right. Junior, let me help you. I've learned how to dissect beasts. It's the only way I can thank you," Chang Yue'er said enthusiastically.
Han Jue thought for a while and nodded.
Having a helping hand could boost efficiency.
After about five minutes, the two of them cleaned up the carcasses and left quickly.
As they traveled, Chang Yue'er was very excited.
However, when they started talking about Meng He, she gritted her teeth.
"Seventh Senior is going overboard! No! He doesn't deserve to be our Seventh Senior! When I go back, I must complain to Master!
"I hope he gets eaten up by beasts!
"Junior, where are we going next?"
Han Jue was also very hesitant.
It was really too dangerous!
Forget it!
"Let's go back. At most, we'll kneel before Master and apologize," Han Jue said seriously.
Although ordinary beasts couldn't hurt him, what if a Demon King and members of the Cult appeared?
Chang Yue'er asked hesitantly, "Is this really okay?"
"If you think it's bad, then stay!"
"No! I'll go back with you!"
The two of them rushed towards the teleportation formation.
Before long, they found it.
There were more than ten cultivators gathered before the teleportation formation.
Meng He was among them.
He was stunned upon seeing them. He hurriedly put on a surprised smile and said, "Junior Brother! Junior Sister! You're actually still alive. That's great!"
Chang Yue'er gritted her teeth in anger. She wanted to curse at Meng He.
Han Jue raised his hand, signaling her not to.
He suddenly caught sight of Mo Fuchou.
"Brother Han, why are you here?" Mo Fuchou asked with a smile.
He noticed Chang Yue'er's expression and couldn't help but glance at Meng He.
Meng He sensed Mo Fuchou's gaze and felt extremely awkward. He forced a smile.
"Master arranged for me to come. By the way, your sister, Mo Zhu, is in trouble. She went to Li Qianlong's cave abode to search for treasures. I tried to persuade her against it, but she still went," Han Jue said as he walked to the teleportation formation.
Chang Yue'er followed closely behind. The two of them took out spirit stones and activated the formation to leave.
Mo Fuchou frowned, his expression changing.
Someone beside him asked, "Who is this person? A disciple of Jade Serene Peak? Why haven't I seen him before?"
Meng He replied, "Yes, he's my fellow disciple at Jade Serene Peak. He's called Han Jue. He's highly regarded by Master. Previously, Master wanted him to join the Sect Leader's core candidates, but he rejected her."
Upon hearing that, everyone was shocked.
Mo Fuchou's eyes flickered. "He's indeed worthy!"After returning to the inner sect, Han Jue and Chang Yue'er went to sell the materials they obtained from the beasts.
There was a dedicated market in the inner sect for transacting materials from beasts. What surprised Han Jue was that these materials were sold for 397 superior-grade spirit stones.
"Is killing beasts so profitable?" Han Jue said excitedly. He suddenly wanted to turn back and continue killing the beasts.
Chang Yue'er hurriedly stopped him and said in a low voice, "Junior, don't think about it. The Ten Thousand Demon Realm is a small world specially designed by the sect to nurture beasts. The beasts inside are all valuable. Under normal circumstances, disciples are not allowed to kill them. This time, the situation is special. We might not be held responsible, but it will definitely be very troublesome next time."
Han Jue realized he had been too imaginative.
He should just stay in seclusion and cultivate as usual.
The two of them returned to the Jade Serene Peak and first visited Fairy Xi Xuan.
After the door opened, the two of them entered the hall to kneel before her.
"Why did you return?" Fairy Xi Xuan asked with a frown.
Han Jue replied, "I discovered that the Ten Thousand Demon Realm is too dangerous. There are demon kings and the Cult. We were attacked by beasts and I even offended the son of a demon king. I really can't stay there anymore.
"Master, please punish me! I'm willing to face the wall and repent for a hundred years!"
Fairy Xi Xuan was speechless.
Chang Yue'er looked at him with a strange expression.
A hundred years?
That's really extreme!
"What if you are not allowed to cultivate within the hundred years?" Fairy Xi Xuan asked.
Han Jue's face froze.
Chang Yue'er promptly said, "Master, when we were attacked by the beasts, Seventh Senior Meng He abandoned us and ran away!"
The mention of this infuriated her.
However, Fairy Xi Xuan didn't get angry. She remained calm and said, "Don't you think it's just because you are too weak? You can't force your senior to stay behind and die with you."
"Errrmmm…"
Chang Yue'er wanted to say something but hesitated, unable to say anything.
It was the cruel truth.
Meng He didn't hurt them. He just wanted to protect himself.
Fairy Xi Xuan said, "Yue'er, you should leave first."
Chang Yue'er glanced at Han Jue, then bowed and left.
When Han Jue and Fairy Xi Xuan were the only ones left in the hall, a murderous aura spread out.
Han Jue was shocked.
What's Master trying to do?
He didn't dare to raise his head and looked very well-behaved.
"Han Jue, what are you cultivating for?" Fairy Xi Xuan asked. Her voice was cold and emotionless.
"For immortality."
"If you keep cultivating in seclusion, you won't be able to live forever. What matters most is competing for opportunities."
"I understand, but I want to increase my cultivation level first. I'll try my luck when I'm strong enough."
Master!
You don't understand!
I have unparalleled cultivation potential and four top-notch connate providences!
Han Jue thought silently.
Only people with insufficient talent needed to compete for opportunities.
Fairy Xi Xuan continued, "I originally arranged an opportunity for you. If you succeed in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm this time, you will definitely become a core disciple in the future. The treatment you will receive will also be far better than now. Unfortunately, you have given up."
"Thank you, Master. I can only blame myself for not having the fortune."
"The cultivation technique you are using is unfathomable, and I have nothing much to teach you. How about this, do you want to have a cave abode on par with the Thunder Spiritual Pool? It even has other types of Spirit Qi apart from Thunder Spirit Qi."
Hearing this, Han Jue suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise, "Where?"
Fairy Xi Xuan said with an expressionless face, "Recently, the Jade Pure Sect discovered three more Connate cave abodes. These cave abodes are not created by cultivators, but the creation of heaven and earth. They're near the sect. If you want to obtain a Connate cave abode, you must participate in the inner sect assessment that's held once every ten years. Anyone below the core disciple level can participate. If you can obtain one of the top three spots, you will be able to obtain a Connate cave abode. The winner gets to choose first."
Han Jue frowned.
Fairy Xi Xuan glared at him and said unhappily, "Don't tell me you're even afraid of fighting? It's not like anyone will harm your life!"
Han Jue hesitated for a moment before asking, "Master, under normal circumstances, do Golden Core disciples participate?"
"Do you think cultivators of the Golden Core realm are as common as cabbages? Any disciple who reaches the Golden Core realm will either become a core disciple, an Elder, or a deacon."
"In other words, all the participants are Foundation Establishment realm cultivators?"
"That's right."
"Then, it's settled."
"Yeah?"
"Thank you for your advice, Master. I will do my best to win face for Jade Serene Peak!"
Fairy Xi Xuan finally smiled and looked at him playfully.
Lil' brat!
I don't believe you won't be tempted!

Chapter 17: Reincarnation of a Mahayana Cultivator, Great Progress With Cultivation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Jue didn't return to his cave abode. Instead, he headed to the inner sect's spiritual pools to cultivate.
Since he was participating in the inner sect assessments, he would have to fight for the top three places!
With a connate cave abode, he would no longer have to worry about the lack of Spirit Qi. He would be able to stay in his cave abode forever.
Before that, he had to increase his cultivation as much as possible.
He had asked Fairy Xi Xuan about it. There were still eight years until the next inner sect assessment.
Han Jue went to the Fire Spiritual Pool first and paid for a year.
There were quite a few disciples in the Fire Spiritual Pool. About twenty to thirty of them. Han Jue found a corner and began to meditate and cultivate.
His appearance attracted the attention of some female disciples.
"That person is so handsome."
"Could it be that mysterious, handsome disciple from Jade Serene Peak?"
"Maybe. I've never seen anyone so good-looking before."
"I wish I knew him."
Han Jue could hear their discussion, but he pretended not to.
Without a woman in my heart, I can cultivate insanely fast!A year later.
Han Jue's fire cultivation potential had reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Perhaps because his thunder cultivation potential had already reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm, he was able to cultivate his other spirit powers faster than before.
Han Jue hurried to the Water Spiritual Pool next.
Just like that, another four years passed.
All his remaining cultivation potentials had reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment realm!
There were three years left.
He continued to cultivate.
He would strive to reach the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm before the inner sect assessment!
Wind Spiritual Pool.
The moment Han Jue entered, he saw a group of disciples gathered.
"Zhou Fan, didn't you say that you would surpass us in the next inner sect assessment? Why are you still at the first level of the Foundation Establishment realm?"
"Hahaha, how can he surpass us with his cultivation potential?"
"Today, if you're willing to kneel before us, we won't make things difficult for you."
"Senior, this brat has been relying on Junior Lu before. Now that Junior Lu is getting ready to become the companion of the first disciple from Sword Peak, she will definitely sever ties with him in the future. If we beat him up now, maybe Junior Lu will be more than happy."
Han Jue shook his head at their discussion and then found a corner to cultivate.
Such conflicts weren't rare in the Jade Pure Sect.
Although the Jade Pure Sect was a righteous sect, where there were people, there would always be conflicts.
Han Jue had seen that more than once before.
"Hmph, you bunch of trash dare to take on me here? Aren't you afraid of the punishment from the Law Enforcement Hall? Recently, the Cult is getting restless and you guys are still stirring up trouble. I have reason to suspect that you're traitors from the Cult, so I'll report you to the Elders!"
A cold snort followed, sounding very stubborn.
Han Jue opened his eyes and looked over. The person who spoke was the person surrounded, Zhou Fan.
[Detected Connate Providence, checking its origin.]
A line of words suddenly appeared in front of Han Jue, stunning him.
Connate providence?
He immediately chose to check.
[Zhou Fan, the reincarnation of a Mahayana cultivator, was born in a town in the mortal world. Together with his childhood sweetheart, the Jade Pure Sect detected his spirit root. There's a Numinous Treasure hidden in the depths of his soul. The Numinous Treasure is severely injured because it protected him. Now, in order to repair itself, the Numinous Treasure unconsciously absorbs Spirit Qi while Zhou Fan cultivates, causing his cultivation speed to be extremely slow. Currently, the Numinous Treasure is about to be successfully repaired.]
Han Jue's expression turned strange.
That's an impressive background.
He could be a protagonist in a novel.
He narrowed his eyes and looked over. Surrounded, Zhou Fan's expression was calm. Even though he was being pushed around, he didn't seem angry at all. Although he wasn't handsome, he gave off a determined and mature aura.
Should I help this protagonist?
Of course not!
Han Jue closed his eyes.
No matter how impressive Zhou Fan's background was, it had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, with such a bearer of connate providence around him, he wanted to cultivate even harder.
Han Jue's goal was immortality and invincibility.
When he became invincible, he could do whatever he wanted.
At the moment, he should stay clear from trouble.
The group of disciples spat at Zhou Fan for a while, but in the end, they were frightened off by him and didn't dare to do much.
They had already spent a lot of money to be here. If they were to delay any longer, they would be at a disadvantage.
The Wind Spiritual Pool fell back into silence.
A year later.
Han Jue's wind cultivation potential had reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
He stood up and left.
When he arrived at the Wind Spiritual Pool Pavilion, he coincidentally met Zhou Fan again.
He was talking to a beautiful girl in green.
Han Jue noticed that Zhou Fan's hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, obviously restraining his emotions.
The girl in green was calmer in comparison, and she quickly turned and left.
Zhou Fan stood where he was with trembling shoulders.
Han Jue could roughly guess what happened.
He walked over and brushed past him.
Zhou Fan was still angry. When he saw Han Jue, he frowned.
"Stop right there!" Zhou Fan shouted.
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding disciples stopped moving.
Han Jue didn't stop. He quickly walked out of the pavilion and prepared to head to the other spiritual pools.
Zhou Fan suddenly blocked his way.
Han Jue raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter, brother?"
"Are you Han Jue?"
"Yeah. You know me?"
"I'm Zhou Fan of the Heavenly Thunder Peak. Senior Mo often mentions you. He said that you must be the future mighty cultivator of the Jade Pure Sect."
Han Jue sweated. He didn't expect Mo Fuchou to boast about him everywhere.
He asked politely, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Fan looked conflicted. He took a deep breath and said, "I've heard that you're very well-liked by the girls. When Junior Mo Zhu mentions you, her eyes literally glitter. I want to ask… how should I chase a girl?"
Han Jue was confused.
What the hell?
I thought you were going to fight me!
Han Jue said seriously, "How can cultivators like us be trapped by love? What are girls? If you can obtain the Great Dao, the world will be under your command. By then, you can naturally obtain whatever you want! When have you ever seen me hanging out with girls?"
With these words, Han Jue walked past Zhou Fan and left quickly.
Idiot, can your looks compare to mine?
Han Jue couldn't help but ridicule in his head.
Zhou Fan's pupils shrank as he looked at Han Jue's silhouette in shock.
What a quick movement technique! This person is truly formidable!
Zhou Fan thought to himself and started to ponder over Han Jue's words.
Mo Fuchou once said that Han Jue was definitely the most dedicated towards cultivation he had ever seen.
He hesitated for a moment and continued to follow him.
[Mo Fuchou has a good impression of you. Current favorability: 1 star.]
When Han Jue saw this line of words, he found it ridiculous.
He could feel that Zhou Fan was following him, but he didn't care.
In the following year, Han Jue stayed in the Fire Spiritual Pool and raised his fire cultivation potential to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Zhou Fan had been gone for two months.
He had looked very reluctant to leave.
Probably out of spirit stones.
Wealth, companion, magic, and land. This fellow has neither wealth nor companions. How tragic!
Han Jue headed to the Wood Spiritual Pool and used one year to cultivate his wood cultivation potential to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
At this point, only water and earth remained at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment realm!
Han Jue was very satisfied with his cultivation progress.
The inner disciple assessment was about to begin.
Han Jue returned to his cave abode and waited.
Less than half a month after his return, the bell of the Jade Serene Peak sounded again. All the disciples gathered in front of the Jade Serene Hall.
Elder Iron had also arrived.
Elder Iron's cultivation was still stuck at the first level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
His cultivation potential is terrible.
Han Jue couldn't help but pity him.
When all the disciples were kneeling at the entrance of the hall, Liu Sanxin suddenly sent him a voice transmission. "Junior Han, do you know a woman named Xing Hongxuan?"

Chapter 18: Personal Disciple, Obtaining Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xing Hongxuan?
Han Jue's eyelids twitched.
How did that witch know Liu Sanxin?
Could Xing Hongxuan have infiltrated the Ten Thousand Demon Realm with the Cult?
It had been many years. He had no idea what the situation in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm was.
Han Jue immediately replied using telepathy, "No. Why, senior?"
Telepathy was very simple. A Foundation Establishment realm cultivator only needed to grasp some techniques and they would learn it very quickly.
"Under our Sect Master's lead, I hid in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm for the past few years. We encountered the Cult attempting to capture the Tiger Heart White Dragon. There was a huge battle, but with the Sect Master with us, we claimed victory without any casualties. Later, the Sect Leader told us that it was only so easy because he had received information from a converted spy in the Cult. That's why he pretended to leave the Sect but hid in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm.
"The converted spy is Xing Hongxuan. When she was young, the Cult forced her to take some poison, which they used to threaten her to become a spy in the Sect. However, she had always been unwilling and hated it. So, she even tried to steal a recipe from an outer sect alchemist to find an antidote. But that was a naive move. How can pills from an outer sect alchemist work against poison concocted by the Cult?
"After that, she decided to leave the Viridescent Nether Cult. But they tried to hunt her down. The Sect Master happened to be investigating spies from the Viridescent Nether Cult and saved her. Because she never harmed the Jade Pure Sect and she contributed in this latest operation to defeat the Cult, the Sect Master allowed her to join the inner sect as a disciple."
Han Jue was flabbergasted by the story. Lucky that he could conceal his emotions.
"Xing Hongxuan is currently cultivating with us at the main peak. Her master is Daoist Jingxu. Daoist Jingxu is Sect Master's junior. She's in charge of the main peak and personally guides the core candidates. Previously, when we met Xing Hongxuan, she was asking around about a disciple named Han Jue and told us about their story. Interestingly, the outer sect alchemist previously mentioned has become a disciple of our peak. Even more surprising is that the alchemist had a servant named Han Jue. And we also have a Han Jue here!
"Junior Han, what a coincidence!"
Liu Sanxin looked at him teasingly.
Han Jue felt awkward and didn't know how to reply.
That woman actually let out everything!
But it's fine.
Right now, he was already an inner sect disciple at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. Although those were dark days of his life, they didn't affect him much anymore.
With no way out, Han Jue could only admit, "Alright, I'm the Han Jue she knows. I had no choice then."
"Haha, I understand. It's just that I didn't expect that you would have such cultivation potential."
Liu Sanxin joked, and Han Jue heaved a sigh of relief.
Han Jue couldn't help but glance at Elder Iron.
They had been using telepathy, so no one could hear their conversation.
Elder Iron had his head lowered and Han Jue couldn't make out his face.
Han Jue opened his attributes panel and checked his interpersonal relationships.
[Xing Hongxuan: Ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm, can become a companion. Current Favorability: 4.5 stars.]
That woman is close to the Foundation Establishment realm.
Favorability of 4.5 stars. She was the one with the highest favorability towards him.
Since you like me so much, I hope you will suffer less in the future.
Han Jue thought silently.
Honestly speaking, he couldn't understand why Xing Hongxuan liked him so much.
Just because I'm good-looking?
Unparalleled looks?
Well, sometimes looks are the only thing that matters.
But, why did Xing Hongxuan have so much information about the Viridescent Nether Cult? Does she have some other secret identity?
At this moment.
The doors to the Jade Serene Hall opened and all the disciples stood up to enter.
After sitting down, they all looked towards Fairy Xi Xuan.
Fairy Xi Xuan asked, "The inner sect assessment is about to begin. Every peak must send at least ten disciples. Who is willing to participate this time?"
Six disciples immediately raised their hands, including Chang Yue'er.
Han Jue found it strange that Fairy Xi Xuan didn't mention anything about the connate cave abode.
If it was mentioned, they would probably be fighting to participate.
Is it some special reward from Fairy Xi Xuan?
As he thought, Han Jue raised his hand silently.
The disciples were surprised to see that.
"Wow, Junior Han is actually participating!"
"Hahaha, I thought he was going to continue his seclusion."
"That should be the case. Continuing with seclusion will affect his progress."
"Then, I want to participate too!"
Several disciples raised their hands, causing the participants to exceed ten.
Han Jue smiled.
He didn't expect to be so influential.
Although he didn't interact much with the other disciples, he frequented the various spiritual pools to cultivate. So, many people knew that there was an extremely handsome young disciple from Jade Serene Peak. When the disciples heard about the rumors going around, they guessed that it was Han Jue.
Over time, even though Han Jue kept a low profile, there were already rumors about him in the inner sect.
He became famous because of his good looks!
When Elder Iron saw how popular Han Jue was, his expression became even more complex.
He was still a nobody in the Jade Serene Peak.
After this matter was settled, Fairy Xi Xuan let the disciples leave, leaving Han Jue alone.
The disciples looked at Han Jue enviously.
It was obvious that Master thought highly of him. He was given special treatment!
The doors closed.
Han Jue looked up at Fairy Xi Xuan.
He had to admit that Master was really beautiful.
Han Jue had been in the inner sect for decades, but he had never seen a female cultivator more beautiful than Fairy Xi Xuan.
However, Fairy Xi Xuan's aura was so powerful that no one dared to profane her.
Han Jue only exclaimed and didn't have any other thoughts.
The disciples are not as good-looking as their master. Seems like the good looks are not being inherited here!
"You made progress again. I have underestimated you. Even with three attributes, you're still cultivating at an outstanding pace. You're probably the fastest in the Jade Pure Sect." Fairy Xi Xuan narrowed her eyes as she spoke, as if she wanted to see through him.
She was really shocked.
In just eight short years, Han Jue's other cultivation potentials had both reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. What kind of talent was this?
Most importantly, she had never taught him.
She was very curious where he had obtained such cultivation technique.
"I really can't hide anything from you, Master," Han Jue replied.
His flattery was obvious, but it had little effect.
Fairy Xi Xuan said, "Your cultivation techniques and sword techniques are all very good, but they aren't the techniques of the Jade Pure Sect. You must have learned it from someone else. I know that you have been diligently cultivating and have no intention of harming the sect. Some people testify that you were born in the outer sect, which means that you ran into a huge opportunity when you were young. But, everyone is destined to run into opportunities of all sorts. So, I won't ask further."
"For this inner sect assessment, you can demonstrate your strength without any worries. You don't have to be afraid of attracting trouble. I'm still very well respected in the sect."
Han Jue quickly thanked her.
He was actually a little worried previously.
Now, he wasn't afraid anymore.
He would use the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique blatantly!
Based on the relationship between Fairy Xi Xuan and Sect Master, Sect Master probably thought the same of him. Or perhaps, these were Li Qingzi's ideas in the first place.
The greater Han Jue's potential, the happier the Jade Pure Sect was.
"To avoid unnecessary trouble, from today onwards, you're my personal disciple. I will report this to the sect." Fairy Xi Xuan spoke again.
Personal disciple!
Han Jue looked up and was surprised.
Although Fairy Xi Xuan had dozens of disciples under her, most of them were under the sect. The number of personal disciples could be counted on a single hand.
[Your status in the Jade Pure Sect has risen. You have become the personal disciple of a coaching elder. You will obtain a magic manual.]
[Congratulations on obtaining Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal.]
A line of words appeared in front of Han Jue.
He was pleasantly surprised and quickly thanked Fairy Xi Xuan.
Fairy Xi Xuan took out a token and threw it to him. "You may leave."
Han Jue caught it and took a look. It was a jade token with the words "Xi Xuan" engraved on it.
He put away the jade token, bowed, and left.

Chapter 19: Xing Hongxuan's Gift, Ninth Level of the Foundation Establishment Realm for All Six Attributes
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Jue began inheriting Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal once he had returned to his cave abode.
It was the third magic he had learned so far. But the first two were sword techniques. This was different.
As the memory of the technique flowed into him, he quickly processed the information.
Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal was similar to a palm technique. But it was unique in the sense that it formed a seal that could expel devils.
And activating this magic with spirit energy of different attributes would have different effects.
Although Han Jue didn't possess a top-notch potential in sealing techniques, his unparalleled cultivation potential made his learning smooth.
Seven days later.
Han Jue had finally inherited the magic.
It was very close to the inner sect assessment. The coaching elder of each peak had submitted the list of participants.
Chang Yue'er visited him to tell him the rules of the assessment.
Each peak would set up an arena, and disciples would go from peak to peak to compete. When the top ten emerged, they would compete in the inner sect city for everyone in the sect to spectate.
Han Jue liked it.
This way, he would only need to fight about four times. Even if he attracted attention, it wouldn't last.
"Junior, the personal disciples from each peak are having a banquet. Do you want to go?" Chang Yue'er asked.
Interestingly, Chang Yue'er was also Fairy Xi Xuan's personal disciple.
Han Jue suspected they were relatives.
He felt that Chang Yue'er's potential was only mediocre.
"No, you can go if you want to."
Han Jue shook his head. Conflict would easily break out in a banquet with disciples from different peaks. Especially near the inner sect assessment, all of them would want their own peak to look good.
"Fine."
Chang Yue'er shook her head and left.
Han Jue continued practicing the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal.
Although he had already learned it, he wanted to gain complete mastery as he did with his sword techniques.
After all, the remaining time wasn't enough to cultivate further.
Days passed like that.
And the inner sect assessment finally began.
The thirteen disciples taking part in the assessment stood before the Jade Serene Hall. A wooden notice hanging on the hall gate displayed the venues and timings for each disciple.
Everyone had to compete on the first day.
Han Jue's first match was at Tian Zhu Peak.
Tian Zhu Peak was among the top three in the sect. They were strong.
The timing was noon on the second day.
After taking note of it, Han Jue quickly returned to his cave abode.
But he saw someone unexpected at the entrance.
Xing Hongxuan!
It had been decades. She looked even more elegant in the Jade Pure Sect Daoist robes.
"Husband!"
Xing Hongxuan called out in surprise and scurried over.
Speechless, Han Jue moved back as he complained, "Miss, I'm not, so don't call me that!"
Xing Hongxuan covered her mouth and laughed. "Didn't we agree on this back in the outer sect?"
Helpless, Han Jue said frankly, "I was just putting on a show. If I rejected you, you would have killed me."
"But I took it seriously. When I met the Sect Master, I was worried that you would have already exposed me. However, you didn't. You gave me the opportunity to confess. Only then did I have the opportunity to rejoin the Jade Pure Sect and obtain my current status."
Xing Hongxuan smiled. She took out a jade bottle from her sleeve and said, "This is a Jade Pure Pill. It's suitable for Foundation Establishment realm cultivators to increase their cultivation. I haven't reached the Foundation Establishment realm yet, so you can use it first. I'm currently cultivating with Daoist Jingxu and will receive this pill regularly."
Han Jue was stunned.
Xing Hongxuan stuffed the bottle into his hand and said, "Work hard during the inner sect assessment. I didn't expect my husband to be a genius. My aptitude is average, but I will try my best to help you in the future. If my husband reaches the Nascent Soul realm, he won't mistreat me, right?"
Her smile was very sweet and pure, without the slightest hint of a fiendish cultivator.
Han Jue didn't know if he should reject.
Xing Hongxuan suddenly turned around and left. She performed flying sword technique and disappeared into the clouds.
She didn't give him a chance to reject!
When Han Jue returned to his cave abode, he opened the bottle and found seven Jade Pure Pills inside.
Swallowed one, he was pleasantly surprised to find a huge amount of Spirit Qi entering his body. He hurriedly circulated his spirit power to refine it.
An hour later.
He had completed refining all the Spirit Qi into water spirit energy. It was as good as half a month of cultivation.
With his aptitude, half a month of cultivation was equivalent to several years of cultivation for others.
"This pill is so powerful. Is this the treatment of a core candidate?"
Han Jue was secretly shocked.
He had underestimated Xing Hongxuan's favorability towards him.
At the same time, he was quite puzzled. So, she's able to receive such treatment only by providing information about Viridescent Nether Cult's operations in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm?
Xing Hongxuan was only a Qi Refinement cultivator active in the outer sect previously. How did she find out the secrets of the Viridescent Nether Cult?
It seemed that her identity wasn't as simple as he had imagined.
Han Jue didn't think too much and continued to take the Jade Pure Pills.
After three pills, his water cultivation potential had successfully reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
He converted all the remaining Jade Pure Pills into earth spirit energy and successfully reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm for it too.
At this point, all six types of cultivation potentials had reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm!
He scanned outside with his divine sense and saw it was already late at night.
"What a powerful Jade Pure Pill. No wonder alchemists have such a high status."
Han Jue thought silently and suddenly had an idea.At Main Peak.
In a dark hall.
Xing Hongxuan sat in front of an elderly female Daoist.
She was Daoist Jingxu.
"Don't you regret giving the Jade Pure Pills to that boy from the Jade Serene Peak?" Daoist Jingxu asked.
Xing Hongxuan said in a soft voice, "I don't regret it. I have fallen into the trap of love."
"Just because he has good looks?"
"Isn't that enough?"
"His looks are indeed outstanding. In all my life, I have never seen a man who is better looking than him. I feel that it isn't worth it for you to help him just because of his looks."
"His aptitude is also very outstanding. When I first saw him, he hadn't started cultivating yet. But I heard from the Sect Master that he's already at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm."
Daoist Jingxu frowned and fell into deep thought.
Such talent was indeed…
Puzzled, she asked, "Why haven't I heard of him all these years?"
Xing Hongxuan answered, "Sect Master said he kept a low profile. Ever since he entered the inner sect, he has been busy cultivating in seclusion. Previously, the Sect Master wanted to give him an opportunity, but he rejected it because he was afraid of death."
Daoist Jingxu teased, "If he was afraid of death, how could he have such an experience? It seems like he's very determined and confident in himself."
Xing Hongxuan nodded.
Thinking of Han Jue's extremely handsome face, her face turned slightly red.
"It seems I have to pay more attention to him," Daoist Jingxu said with a half-smile.At noon.
Han Jue set off for Tian Zhu Peak.
He stood on the flying sword with a conflicted expression.
What should I do today?
I can't seem too strong.
With a ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivation for all six attributes and unparalleled sword techniques, Han Jue really didn't think anyone could compete with him.
He had heard that the highest cultivation level of this assessment's candidates was only at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Disciples with higher cultivation levels had already finished their apprenticeship or become personal disciples, elite disciples, or core disciples. They didn't need the reward from the assessment.
With the same cultivation, Han Jue felt that he couldn't lose.

Chapter 20: Suppressing the Great Grand Elder!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Numinous treasure?
Han Jue's eyes lit up.
He had heard before that numinous treasures were stronger than usual treasures.
"Every time I have a choice to remain low profile. It's probably related to my choice in the beginning."
Han Jue thought silently.
When he started the Game of Life, he chose to cultivate in a low-profile manner and even activated the ability to hide his cultivation.
Pretty good.
I like this!
Playing the pig to eat the tiger!
No!
Remain low profile until I become invincible!
Han Jue thought happily.
He wanted to be the secret cultivation master of the Jade Pure Sect.
Han Jue couldn't choose the second option directly. He had to wait till the end of the assessment.
Elated, he accelerated towards Tian Zhu Peak.At Tian Zhu Peak.
Dozens of disciples surrounded a battle arena. Mo Fuchou and Mo Zhu also came.
As they watched the battle on the stage, Mo Fuchou and Mo Zhu were puzzled.
Han Jue seemed to be in a stalemate with his opponent. Most of the time, he was defending and dodging, clearly at a disadvantage.
His opponent, a disciple of Tian Zhu Peak, was excited.
To meet such a weakling in the first round, this is too awesome!
The Tian Zhu Peak disciple silently thought to himself. He exerted his spirit energy generously and even maintained a handsome posture during the battle.
Han Jue was suffering.
It was really tiring to act like this.
He used the Seven Illusionary Steps to dodge, but he still had to try his best to show that his movement technique wasn't exquisite.
He gritted his teeth and persisted.
As the two of them fought for longer and longer, the spectating disciples felt bored and left one after another.
Mo Fuchou and Mo Zhu were still watching the battle.
"He can't be so weak, can he?" Mo Zhu couldn't help but ask.
Mo Fuchou said calmly, "He's doing it on purpose."
At this moment…
Han Jue suddenly used the Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword. He pointed his finger and the sword Qi pierced his opponent's shoulder. Immediately, he launched forward with Seven Illusionary Steps and kicked the opponent down the sparring platform.
It was over!
The three deacons presiding over the battle were stunned.
Their attention had already strayed away. They didn't expect it to end so abruptly.
Han Jue cupped his fists and said, "Thank you!"
He then walked towards the three deacons below the platform and registered his victory.
The Tian Zhu Peak disciple left dejectedly.
The Mo siblings immediately came forward.
"Brother Han, why didn't you win directly?" Mo Fuchou asked.
In his opinion, Han Jue was the most talented disciple of the Jade Pure Sect.
However, Han Jue kept a low profile, and no one believed his talent.
Han Jue shook his head and smiled. "I only found his weakness."
He then changed the topic. "How have you been recently, Miss Mo?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't brought it up, but the moment he did, Mo Zhu was infuriated.
"If I knew earlier, I would have listened to you. I went to Li Qianlong's abode, and in the end, I was targeted by both fiendish cultivators and fellow disciples. Eventually, I was forced to jump off the cliff. I was fortunate to have an elder assist me."
Mo Zhu cursed angrily.
Han Jue asked, "Who is this elder?"
"I'm not sure, either. He left after saving me. Perhaps he's some expert from the Jade Pure Sect."
"Oh."
That was the end of the conversation.
Han Jue bid farewell to the siblings and left quickly.
Mo Zhu looked at his departing figure and said gloomily, "Big Brother, why do I feel like he's avoiding me? He doesn't want to talk to me."
Mo Fuchou smiled and said, "You're making it too obvious. Brother Han is an ascetic. He doesn't want his cultivation to be affected by love."
"What's left to life if he always cultivates like that?"
"Everyone pursues different things. He pursues immortality and the Great Dao."
"I think the two of you are the same kind of people."
"I'm no match for him."Han Jue continued practicing the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal once he had returned to his cave abode.
He only used Seven Illusionary Steps in the match a while ago, so he was hardly tired.
In the following days, the same pattern followed.
Every time, Han Jue would only defeat his opponent after all the spectators had left. The defeated opponents would be too embarrassed to mention it. Hence, Han Jue continued progressing, but no one took much notice.
But the reincarnated Mahayana realm cultivator Zhou Fan was the black horse. He continued winning until he reached the top ten.
The entire inner sect was discussing him.
Many thought he was daydreaming to want to challenge the First Disciple of the Sword Peak for a companion. They didn't think he could do much.
The First Disciple of the Sword Peak didn't participate in the assessment, but he had announced that if Zhou Fan managed to enter the top three, he would accept the challenge.
This matter caused an uproar in the inner sect, but Han Jue wasn't interested.
He had read too many such plots in novels.
That night.
Han Jue was cultivating the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal in the cave abode.
He hadn't used this move in the previous battles. But as he practiced for the past few days, he could handle the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal pretty well now.
Han Jue could cast this spell within a second.
Most spells required hand seals to activate the technique. They weren't like purely physical techniques that had no delay.
But with more practice, a day would come when the spell could be cast immediately.
Whoosh—
The sound of wind came from outside the cave abode. At first, Han Jue didn't care.
But not long after, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
He quickly stopped and scanned the surroundings with his divine sense.
There was no one in the open space outside the cave, nor were there any beasts or birds.
Under the crescent moon, Jade Serene Peak actually looked very sinister.
"What's happening?"
Han Jue frowned.
The trees outside weren't moving, which meant there was no wind. But why could he still hear the wind?
Was he possessed?
Han Jue felt a chill down his spine.
After being reborn for decades, this was the first time he encountered such a situation.
But if this world had demons and cultivators, ghosts weren't too far-fetched either!
Nervous, Han Jue held his breath.
If it was really a ghost, how strong would it be if even Fairy Xi Xuan didn't discover it?
Ghosts, ghosts, please leave… Ghosts, ghosts, please leave…
He chanted to himself.
At this moment…
All of a sudden, he saw wisps of black aura flying into the cave through the crack in the stone gate.
What the hell!
It really is a ghost!
Without another word, Han Jue raised his hand and executed the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal.
A golden jade seal flew head-on towards the black aura. This golden jade seal was embedded with nine dragons, domineeringly and divine. It directly dispersed the black gas and disappeared into thin air.
Han Jue frowned.
He felt a powerful repulsive force.
Logically speaking, the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal should have continued to crash forward, knocking down the stone door.
He focused his gaze and saw that the scattered black aura was condensing again.
Han Jue quickly went up and used the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal again.
Boom—
Not enough. Again!
Boom—
Boom—
Han Jue stood in front of the black aura and struck out with his palms, again and again, creating a huge hole in the ground. The wall of the cave beside him also split open.
This was still under his precise control. Otherwise, he could have collapsed the entire cave abode with a single palm strike.
"Wait! Stop! Stop! Stop!"
A wail followed.
Han Jue frowned and looked down at the black aura.
"I'm a Great Grand Elder of the Jade Pure Sect. How dare a disciple like you disrespect me!"
The black aura roared angrily, leaving Han Jue stunned.
Great Grand Elder?
The black aura quickly condensed into a human form. It was very short, only half a meter tall.
This person was emaciated and wore a large white robe. With a head full of white hair, he looked up at him angrily.
Han Jue said helplessly, "Sir, what are you trying to do by sneaking into my cave abode in the middle of the night?"
The Great Grand Elder said grumpily, "I'm just cultivating a divine art. My primordial spirit has left my body. When I heard the sound coming from your cave abode, I couldn't help but come in out of curiosity."
Although he lectured him, he was actually shocked inside.
What kind of spell was that?
He almost killed me!
His spirit energy felt like the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm!
The Jade Pure Sect's inner sect is already so outstanding?

Chapter 21: Heavenly Constellation Golden Body, The Unstoppable Zhou Fan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"I have to tell my master about this. What you're doing can really scare disciples like me to death."
Han Jue shook his head. He was really speechless.
Cultivating divine arts in the middle of the night, acting mysterious!
Just now, he really should have directly killed this Great Grand Elder's Essence Soul.
"Don't, don't, don't! I was just playing around for a moment. I apologize to you. I'm sorry!" The Great Grand Elder hurriedly said.
Amused, Han Jue asked, "You know my master?"
"Cough, cough. Actually, your master is my disciple, so is the current Sect Master."
The Great Grand Elder held his head high proudly.
However, Han Jue remained expressionless.
The Great Grand Elder's smile immediately faded.
Does he not believe me?
Han Jue said, "Then, I'll pretend that nothing happened tonight. You can leave."
"Really?"
"No worries."
The Great Grand Elder immediately turned around and left.
He had just taken a few steps when he suddenly turned around and asked, "Boy, I see that you're very talented. Do you want to inherit my legacy?"
Han Jue raised his eyebrows and asked, "What legacy?"
"I'll impart to you an unparalleled cultivation technique, the Heavenly Constellation Golden Body. Do you want it? In the entire Jade Pure Sect, only the Sect Master and I know it!"
Heavenly Constellation Golden Body?
Sounds impressive!
Han Jue's eyes lit up.
But on second thought, he hesitated. It wasn't even a pleasant encounter. Why would this old man teach him a cultivation technique?
It must be a trap!
Trying to trick me?
Han Jue shook his head and said, "Never mind. Thank you for your kindness, Sir."
The Great Grand Elder's smile froze again. With a cold snort, he swung his sleeves and left.
An hour later.
Han Jue left the cave abode and flew towards Jade Serene Hall.
He stopped in front of the front gate and knelt.
As the gate burst open, Han Jue quickly walked in.
"Why are you here so late at night?" Fairy Xi Xuan asked with her eyes closed.
Han Jue knelt in front of her and told her everything that happened.
Fairy Xi Xuan opened her eyes and frowned.
She was displeased.
This damned old man is restless again!
"You almost killed him?" Fairy Xi Xuan asked curiously.
Han Jue scratched his head and said, "Was cultivating a divine art, so I can only block it. That's not important. Master, will he come and harass me again? I don't want to be afraid every night."
"Don't worry. I'll go find him tomorrow. If he dares to come again, I'll deal with him myself."
"Thank you, Master."
"No worries."
Han Jue heaved a sigh of relief. He could finally relax now.
Before he left, he asked curiously, "Master, is the Heavenly Constellation Golden Body powerful? He wanted to teach me this cultivation technique."
"Yes. It can be said to be the strongest cultivation technique of the Jade Pure Sect. It's even more powerful than Jade Pure Technique. However, before cultivating it, one needs to cut off one's roots."
"What root?"
"The thing that makes you a man."Han Jue wanted to curse.
I knew it!
That old man was up to no good!
Wait!
Does this mean…
The Great Grand Elder and Sect Leader have already…
Han Jue discovered a shocking fact and felt his worldview shattered.
"This matter cannot be spread," Fairy Xi Xuan said solemnly.
"I understand."
Han Jue bowed and left.After returning to his cave abode, Han Jue was still thinking about the Heavenly Constellation Golden Body.
No wonder even though Li Qingzi liked Fairy Xi Xuan, the two of them did not become companions.
"They're even more extreme than me. They both stay away from women by cutting their own…"
Han Jue was impressed. At the same time, he labeled the Great Grand Elder as untrustworthy.
The next morning.
Han Jue headed towards the inner sect city.
The battle of the top ten in the inner sect assessment would officially begin at noon.
The Inner Sect Assessment was different from the Inner Sect Competition. The Inner Sect Assessment was a way to become an elite disciple, and one could register freely. The Inner Sect Competition was a competition between the eighteen peaks, and the ranking was a motivation for each peak to work hard.
The battle arena had already been built, located in the square in the center of the city, three hundred meters long and wide. There was already a huge crowd around it. Many disciples were flying on their swords and floating in the air. It was a very spectacular sight.
"Junior, you're finally here!"
Excited, Chang Yue'er immediately ran over.
More than ten disciples from Jade Serene Peak gathered around to cheer him on.
Han Jue frowned when he saw so many people.
With so many people around, how am I supposed to act?
Should I be more straightforward?
Defeat them immediately?
Han Jue hesitated.
Suddenly feeling a gaze settle on him, he turned around and saw Zhou Fan staring at him with a burning gaze, full of fighting spirit.
Han Jue was baffled.
When did I provoke him?
Zhou Fan recalled Mo Fuchou's words that in this inner sect assessment, his greatest opponent was Han Jue.
Mo Fuchou said that Han Jue had always been hiding his strength and was not inferior to elite disciples.
Because of this, Zhou Fan had always treated Han Jue as an imaginary enemy.
He didn't understand Han Jue.
With outstanding aptitude and stunning looks, why did he keep such a low profile?
He heard that Mo Zhu had taken a liking to him, but Han Jue had been avoiding her.
The more Han Jue kept a low profile, the more Zhou Fan felt sore.
However, I already have a powerful trump card. He's definitely not my match! Zhou Fan thought firmly.
At this moment.
Mo Zhu suddenly appeared before Han Jue and said excitedly, "Brother Han, I believe you will definitely take first place."
Chang Yue'er asked warily, "Who are you?"
Mo Zhu looked back at her. They were obviously unhappy with each other.
Han Jue saw that their conflict was about to erupt and felt that something was wrong.
"Husband!"
Hearing a burst of laughter, Han Jue turned around and saw Xing Hongxuan.
Chang Yue'er and Mo Zhu both turned to look.
Crap!
It's Mars crashed into Earth!
Han Jue immediately turned and left. He had to leave the dangerous situation.
However, the three women didn't follow him. Instead, they walked together and began to oppose each other.
The surrounding disciples were envious of Han Jue.
Being good-looking makes him truly fearless!
With so many beautiful juniors admiring him, he doesn't even care!
This is a crime!At noon.
The inner disciples' assessment officially began.
The person presiding over the assessment this time was the Heavenly Thunder Peak's Old Immortal Daoist Thunder.
The elders of the other seventeen peaks did not come. The spectators were ordinary elders, deacons, hall masters, and so on. More than two thousand inner sect disciples and mortal slaves came to watch the battles.
Although there weren't many inner sect disciples, there were many mortal slaves in the inner sect city.
Han Jue was participating in the very first match.
When his name was called, he immediately went on stage.
"Han Jue of the Jade Serene Peak versus Zhou Fan of the Heavenly Thunder Peak!"
Whoosh—
The moment Zhou Fan's name was announced, the audience erupted.
Recently, Zhou Fan was the most famous disciple in the inner sect. He could be said to be the biggest black horse. Rumors had it that he had a trump card that could defeat anyone instantly. He was undefeated in every battle and totally unstoppable.
Zhou Fan cupped his fists and smiled. "Brother Han, you must do your best this time."
Han Jue asked expressionlessly, "Really?"
"Really!"
Zhou Fan raised his right hand, and a small black bell appeared in his palm. It was eerie and mysterious.
In a nearby pavilion, the elders and deacons all frowned.
They had long heard that Zhou Fan had a powerful secret weapon, a Dharma treasure. It was a Birth Dharma treasure.
What was a Birth Dharma treasure?
One that would be created at the birth of its owner. They were the legacy of his ancestors. Even if he had little potential, his ancestors would give him providence. Owners of Birth Dharma treasures were usually successful.
Upon seeing this treasure today, they all felt that it was extraordinary.
Zhou Fan might really get first place in this Inner Sect Assessment!

Chapter 22: Obtaining the Numinous Treasure, Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing how confident he was, Han Jue decided to get serious.
Zhou Fan must be defeated before he could demonstrate his power. That was the only way to minimize the impact.
If Han Jue defeated him when Zhou Fan released all his power, it would only show that Han Jue was even stronger. In that way, he wouldn't be able to keep a low profile anymore.
With so many people watching, it was impossible for Han Li to delay until everyone left.
After his decision, Han Jue walked towards Zhou Fan.
Mo Zhu said with a solemn expression, "Zhou Fan's birth Dharma treasure is very strong. Because of this treasure, Master made an exception and took him in as a personal disciple."
Chang Yue'er disdainfully said, "He's no match for Junior Han."
Xing Hongxuan didn't say anything. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Han Jue.
Zhou Fan had a confident smile on his face, but seeing Han Jue walking straight towards him, he still felt inexplicably flustered.
Because he had often heard Mo Fuchou brag about him!
Slowly, he felt that Han Jue was very strong.
Today, I will defeat him and prove my strength!
Watch carefully. I'll make you regret it and let you know that you've underestimated me!
Zhou Fan thought about it silently. When he thought about that smiling handsome face, he was furious.
He raised the small black bell, preparing to display his power!
A crazed smile appeared on his face.
So what if he's gifted!
Today, I, Zhou Fan, will defeat this gifted cultivator!
Swish!
A blinding sword flashed, causing Zhou Fan to subconsciously close his eyes.
Boom—
Zhou Fan was sent flying, vomiting blood. He was like a kite with a broken string, blown out of the battle arena.
Silence!
Everyone was silent.
Everyone was stunned. They had yet to recover from their shock.
The battle ended so quickly?
Even Old Immortal Dao Thunder, who was overseeing the Inner Sect Assessment, widened his eyes.
Han Jue retracted his technique, and the sword shadow behind him quickly disappeared. It only appeared for less than two seconds.
He turned and bowed to Old Immortal Dao Thunder with cupped fists.
Old Immortal Dao Thunder came back to his senses and announced, "Jade Serene Peak's Han Jue wins!"
Boom—
The crowd burst into excitement. The male disciples discussed and the female disciples stared at him with glowing eyes.
"So fast?"
"See, Zhou Fan is just mediocre!"
"Han Jue is too strong!"
"Who is Han Jue? When did such a genius appear in Jade Serene Peak?"
"He's so handsome. Could he be the one the female disciples often discuss?"Han Jue quickly left the stage and disappeared into the crowd.
Since the battle arena wasn't destroyed, the second battle soon began.
Zhou Fan was helped out of the crowd by a group of Heavenly Thunder Peak disciples.
There was still blood at the corner of his mouth. His face was pale and his eyes were lifeless. He seemed to have lost his soul.
The blow was too great.
He didn't even know how he lost.
But the moment he was hit by the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique, he sensed imminent death.
He knew that Han Jue could have killed him.
One moment, he was still full of confidence.
The next moment, he was off the platform.
Zhou Fan wished he could dig a hole to hide.
He knew he had become a joke.
Chang Yue'er, Xing Hongxuan, and Mo Zhu tried to look for Han Jue but couldn't find him.
He hid amidst the crowd and watched silently.
Two hours later.
The top five were decided.
The five disciples would draw lots to decide who would skip the next round and head straight to the top three.
The disciples didn't have any objections. At this stage, the difference in strength wasn't great. Everyone could be in the top three.
Luck was an indispensable thing on the path of cultivation.
Han Jue hesitated. If he became one of the top three, maybe he could just give up straight away.
In any case, the top three could choose the Connate Cave Abode…
That's it!
This way, his influence would be minimized.
He prayed silently.
"Han Jue of the Jade Serene Peak is going to the top three straight away!"
The other four disciples looked at him with envy and vigilance as Old Immortal Daoist Thunder made the announcement.
They had all witnessed Han Jue defeating Zhou Fan in a flash. This fellow didn't use much of his spirit energy and was still in his peak state.
Han Jue was overwhelmed with joy as he quietly walked off the stage.
Chang Yue'er and the other two immediately surrounded him, preventing him from escaping.
"Junior, you have a good chance of getting first place this time!" Chang Yue'er said excitedly.
Mo Zhu and Xing Hongxuan were also very excited.
They all admired Han Jue and naturally hoped to see him in the limelight.
Han Jue shook his head and said, "I can't. It's already not easy to come this far."
Zhou Fan, who was making his way over, almost fainted when he heard that.
He still wanted to ask Han Jue what kind of spell he had used to defeat him, but he ended up hearing such words.
Zhou Fan was so angry that he spat out blood. The disciple in front of him was sprayed full of blood.
Zhou Fan quickly turned and left.
Han Jue turned around to see, but Zhou Fan was already gone.
The next two matches were intense. Equipment, magic, movement techniques, and talismans. All sorts of things appeared. The four disciples were all-rounded and on par with each other. No matter who was the final winner, they still put on a good fight.
The top three were finally on stage.
"The three of you will each fight two more rounds with different opponents. The one who wins twice will be the first, a win and a defeat will be the second, and losing twice will be the third." Old Immortal Daoist Thunder explained the rules.
Han Jue suddenly raised his hand and said, "Elder, I admit defeat. Previously, in order to quickly defeat my opponent, I exhausted all of my spiritual energy and have yet to recover. Let the two of them fight it out. I'm willing to be third."
Whoosh—
Everyone was shocked. Chang Yue'er and the other two girls also widened their eyes.
Zhou Fan was stunned when he heard that.
Really?
If that wasn't the case, why would Han Jue admit defeat?
So I'm not that weak.
[Zhou Fan's favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 2 stars]
When Han Jue saw the words in front of him, he said in his head, This guy is nuts!
Old Immortal Daoist Thunder stared at him and then nodded. He changed the rules, and Han Jue was ranked third.
Han Jue immediately got off the stage.
The following fight was less exciting than the previous ones. Both of them had consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
Han Jue felt that he could have taken on both of them together.
In the end, the top three were decided, and the Inner Sect Assessment ended.
The top three followed Old Immortal Daoist Thunder to Main Peak.
On his way there flying on his sword, a line appeared before Han Jue:
[You entered the top three in the Inner Sect Assessment while keeping a low profile. You will obtain a Numinous Treasure.]
[Congratulations on obtaining a seventh-grade Numinous Treasure—Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe]
[Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe: A seventh-grade Numinous treasure that can automatically defend against an enemy's attack. It can defend against up to a blow from a Soul Formation realm cultivator. If you inject spirit energy into it, its defensive power will increase.]
Han Jue raised his eyebrows.
Defending against a blow from a Soul Formation realm cultivator… So powerful?
It was indeed a Numinous treasure, stronger than equipment and Dharma treasures!
A seventh-grade Numinous Treasure. Could there be sixth-grade, fifth-grade, and up to first-grade Numinous Treasures?
How powerful would a first-grade Numinous treasure be?
Han Jue guessed silently.
He was in a good mood.
This was too satisfying. After obtaining the Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe, he felt very safe. And he was going to get a connate cave abode. It was a very fruitful inner sect assessment.
Once he wore the Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe, he would be able to cultivate in peace and wouldn't have to worry about sneak attacks.
Soul Formation realm cultivators were few in number. Hardly one appeared every century in the Jade Pure Sect.
However, the Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe could only protect him. If he ran into a Nascent Soul cultivator, they wouldn't be able to kill him, and neither would he be able to kill them.
Han Jue couldn't help but smile.
"Why are you so happy to be in third place? Did Fairy Xi Xuan tell you to only fight for third place?" Old Immortal Daoist Thunder suddenly asked.
The two disciples in front turned to look at Han Jue with strange expressions.
They weren't stupid and also felt that Han Jue's surrender was too dubious. However, it was also good news for them, so they didn't question it.

Han Jue replied, "I'm not happy because of getting third place, but excited to come to Main Peak for the first time. Master never told me to stop at the top three. I haven't been in Jade Serene Peak for long. Although I became her personal disciple, Master said that as long as I do my best, it's fine."
Old Immortal Daoist Thunder snorted in obvious disbelief.
Zhou Fan was his personal disciple, and Han Jue admitted defeat right after beating him. Han Jue was obviously not giving Heavenly Thunder Peak face. But as an Elder, Old Immortal Daoist Thunder couldn't lash out at him.
Han Jue smiled politely at the other two disciples.
The three of them didn't talk much, and it wasn't suitable for them to talk at the moment.
Before long…
They arrived at Main Peak.
Old Immortal Daoist Thunder introduced them to Daoist Jingxu and left.
"The top three participants of the inner court assessment this time will be promoted to elite disciples. Besides that, all of you can choose a Connate Cave Abode. The first place will get to choose first," Daoist Jingxu said expressionlessly as she inconspicuously glanced at Han Jue.
This kid actually managed to reach the top three.
Looks like Xuan'er wasn't mistaken.
He's indeed talented.
The two disciples weren't surprised. Clearly, they already knew about the Connate Cave Abode beforehand.
Daoist Jingxu waved her right hand, and the images of three Connate Cave Abodes appeared.
The three abodes surrounded the edge of a mountain range. Han Jue took a glance and guessed that it was a map of the Jade Pure Sect.
Are they making us security guards?
Han Jue ridiculed in his head. The three cave abodes nicely surrounded the eighteen peaks.
Nevertheless, a Connate Cave Abode was too attractive. It was like a free spiritual pool. It was still acceptable.
Now that he had the Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe, he wasn't afraid of any danger anyway.
Daoist Jingxu began to introduce the three cave abodes.
The first was rich with fire and wind Spirit Qi,
The second was relatively abundant with water, fire, and wood Spirit Qi.
The last had Spirit Qi of all attributes, but each only as rich as in a usual spiritual pool.
There were no surprises.
Han Jue was left with the last cave abode.
Cultivators who could reach this stage were all geniuses with three or four cultivation potentials. However, they usually only cultivated a single attribute, so they would choose the first two Connate Cave Abodes.
Han Jue couldn't choose but still ended up with the one that suited him the most.
After choosing the cave abode, Han Jue was given a talisman.
Tearing the talisman would lead them to their Connate Cave Abodes.
The three of them bowed and left.
After walking out of the hall, Han Jue immediately tore the talisman. A golden pigeon appeared out of thin air and flew into the distance. Han Jue immediately followed it.
The other two bid farewell and also parted.After flying after the golden pigeon for half an hour, Han Jue finally found the Connate Cave Abode.
It was located in a forest. The golden pigeon flew head-on into the cliff wall, inducing a glow in the wall. Feeling the fluctuations of Spirit Qi, there was probably a formation in front.
A hole appeared on the cliff wall, and Han Jue immediately walked in.
The tunnel was wide enough for four people to walk side by side. After walking for fifty steps, he saw the cave abode. It was huge, and the walls were damp. There was a hole at the top of the cave where cold air flowed in. In the middle of the cave, there was a pool with many water plants. The water was warm, and vapor could be seen above the surface.
Han Jue felt that the dense Spirit Qi might be slightly more concentrated than the spiritual pools.
And it contained all six attributes!
Han Jue was satisfied.
He first took out the Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe and wore it before putting on the Jade Pure Sect's Daoist robe over it.
The moment Han Jue put on the Numinous Treasure, he felt his entire aura change.
He felt so safe!
Han Jue smiled happily as he walked back to the cave entrance.
He looked up.
This was his exclusive cave now. He had to give it a name!
He used his finger as a sword to carve words above the cave entrance.
"Endure Today, Freedom Tomorrow!"
Han Jue nodded in satisfaction. It was a good piece of calligraphy. The strokes demonstrated his power and the strength of his sword Qi.
After carving the line, Han Jue chopped the trees nearby and then made a table, chairs, and a bed.At Jade Serene Hall.
Fairy Xi Xuan was expressionless.
Chang Yue'er recounted what had happened in the inner sect assessment.
When she heard that Han Jue admitted defeat after entering the top three, the corner of her mouth twitched.
This kid…
So unambitious!
Fairy Xi Xuan admired Han Jue's heart towards the Dao, but she couldn't understand why he was so afraid of being in the limelight.
He's ridiculously cowardly!
Most importantly, Han Jue's appearance was extremely outstanding. It was hard for him not to stand out.
"Master, did Junior Han suffer persecution when he was young?" Chang Yue'er asked.
Fairy Xi Xuan was deep in thought.
It looked like she had to ask Elder Iron.
Can it be that Elder Iron tortured Han Jue before?
Thinking of this, Fairy Xi Xuan's glare turned cold.
She had never liked Elder Iron. If it weren't for his meritorious service in the outer sect, no one would be willing to accept him into the inner sect even if he reached the Foundation Establishment realm. Elder Iron had hardly any potential.After the inner sect assessment ended, Han Jue didn't attract much attention. The disciples would only smile when others mentioned him.
Han Jue also didn't go to the inner sect city and stayed in the Connate Cave to cultivate.
He was prepared to enter the Golden Core realm as soon as possible!
All his Spirit Qi had already reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. As long as he cultivated them to perfection, he would be able to reach the Golden Core realm.
Han Jue was full of fighting spirit.
Once he reached the Golden Core realm, he would be able to use the Six Paths of Reincarnation's divine powers.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique had its own divine art, but it required one to reach a certain realm. Reaching the Golden Core realm would unlock one of those!
Half a month later.
He had visitors.
They were Mo Fuchou and Zhou Fan.
When they saw the carvings above the entrance, they were speechless.
"Endure Today, Freedom Tomorrow"…
It really suited his personality.
"Brother Han, Mo Fuchou is here to visit!" Mo Fuchou shouted with cupped fists.
After a few seconds, the door opened.
The two of them immediately walked in.
Han Jue was meditating by the pool when they saw him.
Han Jue opened his eyes and asked, "What brings you here?"
Zhou Fan looked at him with a complicated expression.
Mo Fuchou smiled and said, "Recently, the conflict between us and the Viridescent Nether Cult has been escalating. Who knows when a full-scale war will break out one day. We would like to invite you to go on a mission together and take down one of the Cult's branches. Apparently, they possess many pills that can help you cultivate."
Before coming, Mo Fuchou had thought about it.
If he wanted to convince Han Jue, he had to talk about cultivation.
Han Jue shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kind intentions. I don't want to leave for the time being. I have to enter seclusion to break through."
Breakthrough in seclusion?
Both of them were stunned.
Zhou Fan couldn't help but ask, "You want to enter the Golden Core realm?"
Han Jue nodded.
"It's not that easy to break through to the Golden Core realm. The heavenly tribulation you will face is even more terrifying than the one at the Foundation Establishment realm. You have to rely on some Tribulation Transcendence Pills to neutralize the power of the heavenly lightning and consolidate your Dao heart," Mo Fuchou reminded.
Zhou Fan added, "This mission is very important. If we perform well, we will definitely succeed. Our status in the Jade Pure Sect will also rise in the future, and we will be able to make a name for ourselves in the cultivation world."
[You have received an invitation from a fellow disciple. Facing fame and fortune, you have the following choices]
1
1
Three lines of words appeared before Han Jue's eyes.
Erm…
Isn't it obvious?
Han Jue said righteously, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in fame or fortune. I just want to cultivate diligently. If the Jade Pure Sect is in trouble in the future, I'll definitely risk my life defending the sect. But right now, I don't want to leave the sect!"

Chapter 24: Golden Core Realm, Qilin Sword
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
No matter how Mo Fuchou and Zhou Fan tried to persuade him, Han Jue would not give in.
The two could only leave helplessly.
After leaving the cave abode, the two flew for a distance.
Zhou Fan couldn't help but say, "Although he's powerful, he's too timid!"
He had already put it nicely. Frankly, he wanted to say that Han Jue was afraid of death.
He had heard from other disciples of Jade Serene Peak that Han Jue was good at everything, but he was too timid.
Mo Fuchou didn't speak for Han Jue this time. He sighed and said, "One can't only cultivate in seclusion. We're mortals. We still have to fight for opportunities. Just wait and see, he will come to his senses sooner or later."
Zhou Fan nodded.
He suddenly looked forward to this mission.
Once he obtained those elixirs, he might be able to surpass Han Jue!
Thinking of this, Zhou Fan was very excited.
Previously, he had been knocked out by Han Jue in the inner sect assessment. It was really traumatic. Although he didn't hate him, he had always wanted to regain his honor.[Congratulations on obtaining a Little Universe Belt]
[Little Universe Belt: It contains a large alternate space. It can be used as a storage ring or storage bag. The belt is elastic and not easily destroyed.]
Han Jue raised his eyebrows and looked at the Little Universe Belt in his hand.
The belt was like a scroll of painting, but a very narrow one. He used his divine sense to probe it. There was an alternate space of a thousand cubic meters within. It was much bigger than his storage bag.
He immediately dripped his blood on it to claim the belt.
After he succeeded, he threw everything into the Little Universe Belt and tied it around his waist.
The belt tightened around his robe. It wasn't too tight nor too loose around his waist. Very comfortable.
Han Jue played with it for a while before resuming cultivation.Two years passed in a flash.
His six spiritual powers had all reached perfection.
He was preparing to transcend the tribulation!
He activated the barrier function and underwent his tribulation in the cave abode.
Although the Heavenly Tribulation of the Golden Core realm was formidable, it was far from being able to destroy the mountain. The Heavenly Thunder would be concentrated above his head.
Apparently, the Golden Core realm's heavenly tribulations would provoke his inner evil.
Only around three in ten Foundation Establishment realm cultivators could break through to the Golden Core realm.
They would either be struck to death by the Heavenly Tribulation or be driven mad from the inner evil.
Han Jue had a top-notch cultivation potential and practiced top techniques. He wasn't afraid of these obstacles.
As he activated his cultivation method, dark clouds started to gather above him. Lightning began flashing.
At the same time, a voice sounded in Han Jue's mind.
"What do you want?"
"Fame?"
"Money?"
"Women?"
"You're already strong enough. Stop concealing yourself and show the world your strength!"
This voice was like a demon, constantly bewitching him.
Han Jue was indifferent and even wanted to laugh.
Is this the inner evil?
So lame!
As Han Jue moved his hand, the spirit energy in his body surged.
Foundation Establishment, Golden Core formation!
Spirit energy began to gather in his dantian like the center of a whirlpool in his body.
Bolts of lightning suddenly shot out from the dark clouds and landed on Han Jue's body.
Han Jue directly used the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique to absorb the heavenly lightning.
Transcending the tribulation with six types of spiritual force was simple and smooth!
Han Jue's thunder cultivation potential was unable to completely absorb the heavenly lightning. However, he was able to fend off the excess with other spirit energy. He didn't feel a thing.
He soon noticed that it wasn't his spirit energy that was doing the job, but the Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe's effect.
This Numinous Treasure can actually help me transcend the tribulation…
Han Jue thought in surprise.
The Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe was able to withstand an attack from a Soul Formation realm cultivator. Would it also be able to help him transcend to the Nascent Soul realm in the future?
Han Jue got excited.
What a treasure!
Motivated, Han Jue continued his tribulation.Seven days later.
Han Jue finally succeeded.
[Congratulations on breaking through to the Golden Core realm and obtaining an unparalleled magical sword.]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Qilin Sword.]
[Qilin Sword: A sword made from the bones of a Qilin. It contains the Qilin's soul and has the effect of exorcising evil.]
A sword appeared in Han Jue's hand. This sword was completely black, and the blade was embedded with Qilin scales. The hilt looked even more awesome. The blade was three fingers wide and one meter long.
Holding this sword, Han Jue's palm felt cool.
What a cool sword!
It matched him very well!
Han Jue put the Qilin Sword away and began consolidating his Golden Core realm cultivation.
Half a month later.
He began to cultivate the third level of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique, and at the same time, he inherited his first Mystical Power.
Six Paths Soul Absorption Technique!
As the name implied, this mystical power could absorb souls, especially wandering ghosts. After mastering it, Han Jue could also see souls that ordinary people couldn't.
After Han Jue learned the cultivation method, he started to cultivate the mystical power.
His top-notch cultivation potential of six attributes allowed him to learn it within ten days.
As expected of a mystical power, it was much more difficult to learn than magic.
And it was obviously stronger!
Han Jue really wanted to try it on wandering ghosts, but this was the Jade Pure Sect.
He opened his attributes panel.

[Check interpersonal relationships]Lifespan has increased to 499 years. Not bad!
400 years is enough for me to break through to the Nascent Soul realm!
I bet I can break through in a hundred years!
Han Jue thought proudly.
He suddenly remembered that he hadn't bid farewell to Fairy Xi Xuan after the inner sect assessment.
I'm being rude!
Han Jue immediately stood up and left.
After leaving the cave abode, he flew to the Jade Pure Sect's inner sect.
It was easy to find his way. The eighteen peaks were too eye-catching.
Han Jue checked his interpersonal relationships as he flew on his sword.
The Favorability and Hatred didn't change much.
He opened the mailbox.
[Your good friend Li Qingzi was attacked by a fiendish cultivator.]
[Your good friend Li Qingzi was attacked by a fiendish cultivator.]Omit ten similar messages.[Your good friend Li Qingzi was attacked by a fiendish cultivator and was severely injured. He luckily escaped.]
Han Jue was stunned.
Sect Leader's being attacked by the fiendish cultivators?
So many messages. It looks really bad!
Han Jue became nervous. Is the Cult about to launch an attack on us soon?
While thinking, Han Jue arrived at Jade Serene Peak.
He quickly came to the front of Jade Serene Hall and knelt down.
After the door opened, he got up and entered the hall.
"Junior Han, you're finally willing to come back!"
Chang Yue'er complained.
Han Jue raised his eyebrows. Is this girl actually Fairy Xi Xuan's relative?
Why do I bump into her every time I come here?
Chang Yue'er's cultivation had reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. This speed could be considered fast among ordinary people, but it was incomparable to Han Jue's speed.
Completely incomparable!
Han Jue knelt in front of Fairy Xi Xuan and said, "Greetings to you, Master. After the inner sect assessment ended, this disciple was in a hurry to cultivate and forgot to visit you!"
Fairy Xi Xuan narrowed her eyes and asked, "You actually still remember to come back? I thought you'd already betrayed me."
Han Jue was embarrassed.
He was about to explain when Fairy Xi Xuan continued, "The Jade Pure Sect is about to face an unprecedented disaster. I'll give you a chance. You can leave the sect right now!"

Chapter 25: Gaining Favorability, Well-Rounded Senior
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hearing Fairy Xi Xuan's words, Han Jue's first reaction was that she was joking.
At this moment.
Words suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Your Sect Master is in danger. No one knows whether he's still alive. You have the following choices]
1
1
Han Jue frowned.
He subconsciously wanted to pick the first choice and avoid the danger.
But on second thought… I'm wearing the Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe, what am I afraid of?
Han Jue asked, "What about you, Master?"
Fairy Xi Xuan's expression was calm as she replied, "Survive or perish, I will stay at the Jade Pure Sect."
Chang Yue'er wanted to say something but hesitated.
Han Jue said seriously, "Then I will follow you, Master."
He would do missions and increase others' favorability of him!
[Fairy Xi Xuan's favorability of you has increased. Current favorability: 3 stars.]
3 stars!
With one more, will she be a potential companion?
Han Jue thought.
I'm being obscene!
My heart follows the Dao, it cannot become filthy.
Fairy Xi Xuan's expression remained unchanged as she asked, "Really? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Death is unavoidable. When the time comes, one either has an impactful or a mediocre life. Even though I pursue longevity, I won't abandon you, Master."
"I've never taught you anything."
"Yes, but your kindness and care are invaluable. You've helped me compete for opportunities and settle potential troubles. I remember all of that."
He actually meant it.
After being reborn and living for more than sixty years, Fairy Xi Xuan was the person who treated him the best.
Although Xing Hongxuan liked him the most, she had once threatened him.
Ever since he had entered Fairy Xi Xuan's tutelage, she hadn't made things difficult for him. Even if he hadn't followed her instructions, she hadn't blamed him.
Han Jue really didn't want such a good master to die.
However, if he encountered an overpowered enemy, Han Jue would still prioritize his own life.
My main mission in life won't change!
Longevity!
Longevity!
Longevity!
After hearing Han Jue's heartfelt words, Fairy Xi Xuan smiled with relief.
"As expected of a disciple of Jade Serene Peak. However, the situation is not as dire as sect dissolution. Even if Sect Master has gone missing, our foundation is still there. I know that you're very afraid of death, so I asked you to leave first." Fairy Xi Xuan smiled.
Han Jue nodded and asked, "Where did Sect Master go missing?"
"He went to investigate the Viridescent Nether Cult."
"I see."
Han Jue was relieved.
It would be terrible if he was abducted in the Jade Pure Sect.
The Viridescent Nether Cult had attacked Li Qingzi dozens of times, but they had only managed to severely injure him. It seemed like there was no Nascent Soul realm cultivator among them.
If that was the case, Han Jue was more confident about his safety.
A Nascent Soul realm cultivator couldn't kill him.
"Are there any problems with your cultivation recently?" Fairy Xi Xuan asked with gentle eyes.
Speaking of which, she hadn't really taught this disciple yet.
Han Jue shook his head and said, "No, there's no need to trouble you, Master."
If he cultivated with Fairy Xi Xuan, wouldn't he be exposing his Golden Core realm cultivation?
If the sect elders heard about it, they might drag him over to labor.
When Fairy Xi Xuan heard this, she immediately snorted. "Then get lost!"
"Yes, Master!"
Han Jue left.
He had just left the hall when Fairy Xi Xuan took out a storage bag and handed it to Chang Yue'er. "Help your junior according to what I said."
Chang Yue'er nodded and stood up excitedly.As soon as Han Jue flew out of the Jade Serene Peak, he heard a whistling sound behind him. He turned around and saw Chang Yue'er chasing after him on her sword.
"Junior Han, wait for me!"
Chang Yue'er waved her hand and shouted with a happy smile on her face.
Han Jue frowned and stopped.
Chang Yue'er stopped at his side and waved the storage bag in her hand, saying, "There's a set formation and some spirit herb seeds inside. Master asked me to help you set up the formation and plant spirit herbs to increase the Spirit Qi in your cave abode."
When Han Jue heard this, his brows immediately relaxed. He cupped his fists and said, "Thanks to our Master. Thank you, Senior."
Chang Yue'er smiled even more happily.
The two of them continued flying towards the Connate Cave Abode.
Arriving at the entrance of the cave abode, Chang Yue'er saw the words on the stone door. With a strange expression, she muttered, "Endure today, freedom tomorrow… this name…"
Han Jue entered the cave expressionlessly.
Chang Yue'er followed closely behind. She stopped at the edge of the tunnel and took out the equipment for the formation and began setting it up.
Han Jue turned around and stood behind her, observing closely.
Learning how to set up formations was also beneficial for the future.
Chang Yue'er noticed that he was behind her and couldn't help but become more serious.
After nearly two hours, she finally finished setting up the array formation. The switch was embedded into the wall of the cave. It was a piece of jade stone that could be activated by pouring spirit energy into it.
This array formation could conceal the cave's entrance. If one were to forcibly enter it, they would be trapped in an illusion and become unable to extricate themselves.
Han Jue sighed. "I didn't expect you to know array formations."
Chang Yue'er smiled proudly and said, "What do you think I'm learning from Master all the time? Although my cultivation level is inferior to yours, I know alchemy, talisman crafting, array formations, exorcism, and so on!"
He had a whole new level of respect for her.
Chang Yue'er turned around and walked into the cave abode. After sizing it up, she walked to the pool's side and began planting spirit herbs.
"If I become an immortal one day, I will let you be my herbalist. So, you should work hard on these skills," Han Jue said with a smile.
Chang Yue'er harrumphed. "In your dreams! I'm your senior! If I were to be something, I will be your… hehe!"
She suddenly laughed.
Han Jue played dumb and didn't reply.
Rebuffed, Chang Yue'er continued planting the spirit herb seeds.
Ten minutes later, she finished planting all the seeds.
Han Jue thanked her hurriedly.
"That's all. I won't disturb your cultivation any longer. After some time, I'll move over to accompany you. How about that?" Chang Yue'er covered her mouth and asked, even winking at him.
Vigilant, Han Jue asked, "You want to take advantage of my cave abode?"
Chang Yue'er rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave angrily.
After she left the cave abode, Han Jue let out a long sigh.
He patted his chest and muttered, "Oh, Han Jue, it's really difficult to protect your body!"
Han Jue walked to the cave's entrance. After activating the formation, he returned to the wooden bed and started cultivating.
The first level of the Golden Core Realm couldn't satisfy him!
After mastering the third level of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Art, his Qi absorption speed was much faster than before. Coupled with the rich Spirit Qi in the Connate Cave Abode, he cultivated very happily.Five years passed in a flash.
Han Jue's Thunder Cultivation Potential had reached the third level of the Golden Core Realm, while the other cultivation potentials had yet to be cultivated.
He planned to cultivate his Thunder Cultivation Potential to the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm before cultivating his other cultivation potentials. After all, the Cult could attack at any time.
His lifespan had also increased slightly. There were many ways to increase his lifespan on the path of cultivation, such as pills, natural treasures, and cultivation techniques.
Han Jue's lifespan was only his most basic lifespan. If his cultivation couldn't break through, he could use other methods to increase it.
In these five years, the Jade Pure Sect was safe.
However, Sect Master Li Qingzi was often pursued by fiendish cultivators and was always heavily injured.
Mo Fuchou and Zhou Fan were also frequently attacked by fiendish cultivators. It seemed like their adventures were truly fascinating.
Every time he saw the messages of them being attacked by fiendish cultivators, Han Jue felt lucky he didn't follow them.
Han Jue was still cultivating when a line of words appeared before his eyes.
[Detected bearer of connate providence, check its origin.]

Chapter 26: Inherent Fiend Chen Santian
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Connate providence?
Han Jue frowned. Is there someone outside the cave?
He quickly checked its origin.
[Chen Santian is inherently fiendish. He possesses an extremely strong affinity towards the Fiendish Dao's techniques. When he was young, he wandered along with his parents. When his parents were killed by bandits his fiendish character was awakened. He, who was only seven years old, slaughtered over 100 bandits. From then on, his killing became unstoppable. Eventually, he joined the Viridescent Nether Cult and became very successful. Presently, he's ranked as the eldest core disciple of the Viridescent Nether Cult.]
As expected, someone from the Viridescent Nether Cult!
Core disciple…
So, he hasn't reached the level of an elder yet!
Han Jue understood that the strength of the Cult and Jade Pure Sect was about the same.
Chen Santian was at most at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm!
"Why is he here at the Jade Pure Sect? Is he alone, or is there a large group hidden around him?"
Han Jue got up and carefully walked to the cave entrance.
He looked out and saw a man in black walking out of the woods nearby. He was acting suspiciously.
Han Jue couldn't feel the man's presence.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he might not have discovered him.
Other than Chen Santian, there was no one else.
As Chen Santian walked to the entrance of the cave, his gaze fell on a line of words on the mountain wall.
"Endure today, freedom tomorrow… How laughable. The people of the Jade Pure Sect are indeed cowards!"
Chen Santian couldn't help but sneer. In the tunnel, Han Jue felt offended.
He's asking to be killed!
Han Jue activated the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique. Three sword shadows floated behind him, ready to kill Chen Santian at any time.
Because of the array formation, Chen Santian couldn't see Han Jue and couldn't sense his aura.
The two were less than ten steps apart.
Chen Santian looked for a while and felt that something was off.
"Could this be a cave abode?"
Chen Santian narrowed his eyes. He took out a sword and gently stabbed it into the mountain wall.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The sword light flashed, and Chen Santian subconsciously closed his eyes. He instinctively jumped back.
Three sword shadows pierced through his body like lightning, and blood splattered everywhere.
Chen Santian landed a dozen meters away like a sandbag. He crashed into a big tree, and the leaves fell like rain.
"Ouch…"
Chen Santian gritted his teeth and looked up. Three sword shadows were floating above his head, ready to slash down at any moment. He was scared out of his wits.
What's this?
He hurriedly shouted, "Sir, stop!"
Standing by the cave entrance, Han Jue shook his head.
So weak?
He can't withstand a single blow!
Or is my Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique too powerful?
Han Jue touched his chin and pondered.
After being attacked by the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique, the aura of Chen Santian's spirit energy was revealed.
Han Jue made a comparison. Chen Santian's spirit energy was about the same level as his.
However, he couldn't see through Chen Santian's cultivation level.
In other words, Chen Santian's cultivation level was higher than his, but the strength of his spirit energy was not as strong as his.
Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique's dominance was finally revealed.
In a good mood, Han Jue asked, "Why did you come to the Jade Pure Sect?"
Chen Santian replied, "I happened to pass by this place. I didn't want to enter the Jade Pure Sect."
He's really good at lying!
The three sword shadows dropped down.
Horrified, Chen Santian quickly jumped to the side. But his right leg was still pierced by the sword shadows and was nailed to the ground. He fell down like a dog pouncing on shit.
"Damn it…"
Chen Santian was so aggrieved that he was about to explode.
He was the core disciple of the Cult, yet he was subdued before he could even make a move.
The three sword shadows were like ghosts. Their speed was ridiculously fast. Nailed to his legs, they were actually draining his spirit energy.
What kind of spell is this?
Chen Santian panicked.
He had investigated the Jade Pure Sect. The sect wasn't a pure sword cultivation sect. Among the elders, no one had such a powerful sword-related spell.
Could it be the mysterious Great Grand Elder?
"Chen Santian, Inherent Fiend, the Eldest Disciple of the Viridescent Nether Cult. What do you think will happen to you if I hand you over to the Jade Pure Sect?" Han Jue's voice sounded again.
Chen Santian's expression changed drastically. His heart was in turmoil.
How does this guy know my background?
Completely flustered, Chen Santian hurriedly kowtowed towards the direction of the cave abode and said fearfully, "Sir! I was wrong! I was wrong! Give me a chance! I've never killed a disciple of the Jade Pure Sect!"
Han Jue was hesitating whether he should kill Chen Santian.
Based on his experience from reading novels, killing such a prodigy might lead to a series of alternative storylines.
Generally speaking, there would always be mechanisms with which his elders would know if such a prodigy was killed. Then, the protagonist would be pursued by them.
Kill the little ones, come the big ones. Kill the big ones, come the old ones. Kill the old ones, come the older and bigger ones from the heavens.
"Why don't I capture him? If Sect Master is captured in the future, we can use him in the exchange, right?" Han Jue thought silently.
Sounds feasible!
In any case, he was wearing the Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe. It was impossible for Chen Santian to hurt him.
Han Jue waved his right hand, and the three sword shadows disappeared into thin air.
Chen Santian didn't dare to escape. He could only kneel on the ground and shiver.
He was already injured. With Han Jue's strength, even if he tried his best to escape, he wouldn't be able to.
"Come in."
Han Jue's voice floated over.
The cave entrance appeared, and the stone door opened.
Chen Santian saw Han Jue.
What a handsome man!
So young!
He thought Han Jue was the disciple of that elder. He gritted his teeth and stood up.
After he entered, Han Jue activated the array formation again and closed the cave door.
Han Jue turned and walked into the cave.
Chen Santian suddenly grabbed Han Jue. The sword in his hand hung in front of Han Jue's neck and he shouted in a deep voice, "Elder, let me go. Otherwise, I'll kill your disciple!"The abode fell into silence.
Chen Santian looked around uneasily.
Han Jue said faintly, "I don't have a disciple."
Chen Santian's body froze when he heard this.
Clang!
His sword fell to the ground, and he suddenly knelt down, forcing a smile. "Senior… I was just joking…"
He could sense Han Jue's cultivation level.
The ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Impossible!
It must be a facade!
To be able to directly suppress me and predict my background, this guy must be an expert!
Han Jue walked further inside the cave and said, "Follow me."
Chen Santian quickly followed.
Han Jue came to his own wooden bed and sat down. Chen Santian knelt in front of him and appeared very respectful.
Is he really the eldest core disciple of the Viridescent Nether Cult?
Han Jue originally wanted to hand Chen Santian over to Fairy Xi Xuan, but if he did that, Chen Santian would definitely escape with his life.
He didn't have the strength to suppress Chen Santian. At most, he could defeat him.
The reason why Chen Santian didn't dare to flee was because he overestimated Han Jue's strength.
In any case, with the Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe protecting his body, he wasn't afraid that Chen Santian would ambush him.
Not only could the Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe protect his body, but it could also protect his head. In any case, Chen Santian couldn't hurt him!
Han Jue said softly, "Pick up your sword and stab me with all your strength."
Chen Santian shivered and wailed. "Elder, I understand my mistake! I know I did wrong!"
"Come on. If you don't try, you'll keep thinking about ambushing me from now on."
"I don't dare…"
"I won't blame you. Just do it."
"Elder, I'll kowtow to you!"
Chen Santian almost cried as he hurriedly kowtowed to Han Jue.
He thought Han Jue was setting him up and finding a reason to kill him.
In any case, if he made a move, it would definitely not end well for him.
Han Jue was speechless. Am I that scary?
He had read Chen Santian's background introduction and thought this person was extremely cruel and would rather die than submit. He didn't expect him to be so cowardly.
"From today onwards, you will stay here and plant spirit herbs for me. You can also cultivate," Han Jue instructed.
"Okay… When can I leave?"
"What?"
"I said the wrong thing. I will slap my own mouth…"

Chapter 27: Death of the Inherent Fiend, I'm Cao Cao, Ninth Level of the Golden Core Realm
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chen Santian's presence did not change Han Jue's life.
He focused on cultivating every day.
He used his own wooden bed as a barrier. During his cultivation, Chen Santian couldn't feel his spirit energy fluctuation at all.
To Chen Santian, Han Jue appeared even more unfathomable.
In the blink of an eye, a year quickly passed.
As the spirit herbs grew, the Spirit Qi in the cave abode became denser. Han Jue's Thunder Cultivation Potential also successfully reached the fourth stage of the Golden Core realm.
A level higher each year. Not bad!
If news of this were to spread, countless people would be scared to death.
Chen Santian had already calmed down.
He discovered that Han Jue didn't make things difficult for him, but he didn't dare to run away. So, he could only cultivate along.
Han Jue had been cultivating and hadn't left. This made Chen Santian even more anxious.
Although it feels good to train, it will delay the intelligence if this continues.
Chen Santian was facing away from Han Jue as he frowned and thought.
He was the eldest core disciple. If he didn't return after such a long time, people in the Cult would definitely be worried and even panic.
What should I do?
Ambush him?
Chen San was in a dilemma. When he thought of his defeat last year, he shuddered.
The difference in strength was too great. For Han Jue to dare to cultivate so fearlessly, he must have everything under control.
Damn it…
What's this fellow trying to do, trapping me here?
If I'm strong enough, I'll definitely make you pay a hundred times over!
Chen Santian's eyes flashed coldly.
Who am I?
I'm the formidable inherent fiend of the Viridescent Nether Cult!
[Chen Santian's hatred for you has increased. Current Hatred: 4 stars]
Han Jue was disturbed from his cultivation by this line and frowned.
F*ck!
It rose again!
Han Jue wanted to vomit blood.
In the past year, he didn't torture him. Chen Santian seemed obedient, but his hatred for him kept increasing. Now, it had reached four stars.
To the extent that he would fight me till death!
Chen Santian didn't know what he was thinking. He was still planning to kill Han Jue and escape.
I can only wait for him to go out. With his cultivation, he must be an elder or the Great Grand Elder. Recently, the Cult has been harassing the Jade Pure Sect. It's impossible for him to continue cultivating in peace.
When I escape, I will definitely lead the Cult to flatten Jade Pure Sect. By then, I will tear this brat into pieces and extract his soul!
Chen Santian was filled with killing intent, but he didn't dare to show it.
When he thought about how he would torture him and how Han Jue would knee before him and beg for mercy, he felt extremely good.
At this moment!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
It was the familiar air-piercing sound. Before Chen Santian could react, three sword shadows pierced through his chest and blood splattered all over the ground.
Chen Santian's eyes widened. His eyes were bloodshot as he turned his head in disbelief.
Han Jue waved his right hand expressionlessly.
The sword shadows turned around and blew up his head.
Chen Santian, the inherent fiend, was dead!
This time, it was even more straightforward than a year ago. Chen Santian didn't even have the time to dodge.
Until Chen Santian died, Han Jue didn't know how strong he was.
Chen Santian had long let down his guard. He thought Han Jue would keep him alive for some purpose. He didn't expect to be killed today.
The moment Chen Santian's corpse fell to the ground, a light ball emerged from his body.
Han Jue raised his eyebrows.
Could it be…
The ball of light changed rapidly and turned into a human figure. This person had an aged face and his eyes were filled with evilness.
He first glanced at Chen Santian's corpse, then he stared at Han Jue.
The cave abode was silent.
Han Jue sighed.
So the old is really here.
The old man snorted coldly. "Are you sighing because you regret it? You're dead for killing my disciple. State your name!"
Han Jue said expressionlessly, "I'm Cao Cao, what about you?"
"Viridescent Nether Cult, Zhang Kunmo!"
"Oh."
"Hmph, just wait for your death!"
After Zhang Kunmo finished speaking, he disappeared.
[Zhang Kunmo has hatred towards you. Current Hatred: 5 stars]
5 stars!
Very high!
Han Jue panicked.
He quickly checked his interpersonal relationships and heaved a sigh of relief.
Eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm!
Just like that?
From his tone, Han Jue thought he was a Soul Formation realm cultivator.
Only a Nascent Soul!
Han Jue stood up and began to search for Chen Santian's storage bag and storage ring.
After a person died, their ownership over their storage rings and storage bags would terminate.
This brat is quite rich. There were countless spirit stones and pills, as well as many talismans and curses. But he had few pieces of equipment and not even a single manual.
Only bring money when going out?
Han Jue poured everything into his Little Universe Belt.
He then waved his right hand, and his fire spirit energy turned into raging flames that wrapped around Chen Santian's corpse, burning it into ashes.
Han Jue returned to his bed and continued cultivating.Time passed quickly.
Eight years passed.
Han Jue had finally reached the ninth level of the Golden Core realm. Besides the Thunder cultivation potential, the other five were still at the first level of the Golden Core realm.
No one would believe it if news of this speed of breakthrough were to spread.
Han Jue started to cultivate his wind cultivation potential.
It could increase his flying speed, and was suitable for escaping from danger.
Half a month later.
Someone visited.
It was Xing Hongxuan.
"Husband, are you there?"
Hearing this, Han Jue's mouth twitched.
After so many years, Xing Hongxuan's cultivation level had already reached the third stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. It seemed like Daoist Jingxu was treating her well.
Back when she was still at the Qi Refinement realm, her breakthrough speed hadn't been this fast.
Han Jue thought for a moment, then waved his hand to close the array formation at the entrance. The stone door then opened wide.
Xing Hongxuan quickly walked in. Upon seeing Han Jue, she beamed with joy.
She first sized up the situation inside the cave abode, then walked to Han Jue's side and sat down. Then, she leaned against him.
Han Jue frowned and said, "Miss Xing, please behave appropriately. I haven't agreed to be your husband."
Xing Hongxuan pursed her lips. "Weren't you very excited when you were in the outer sect?"
Han Jue felt awkward, but his expression did not change, and he looked cold.
Xing Hongxuan waved her right hand, and ten medicinal bottles appeared on the ground.
"These are Pure Jade Pills," Xing Hongxuan said with a proud smile. "I've accumulated them over the years."
I don't believe you won't be tempted!
Han Jue's expression softened. "Take it back. I don't need it anymore."
Xing Hongxuan's smile froze as she frowned.
After that, her expression changed greatly, and she asked with a trembling voice, "Could it be that you've already…"
Han Jue smiled.
Xing Hongxuan immediately jumped towards him, but he blocked her with his spirit energy.
"Miss Xing, if you want to be my companion, you have to cultivate harder. Otherwise, after hundreds of years, I will become an immortal and you will become white bones. Your deep love would then be my punishment," Han Jue said seriously.
Xing Hongxuan calmed down upon hearing this.
He has a point…
She immediately stood up and said, "You're right. I can't be your burden. I'll help you ask for Golden Core cultivation pills."
With that, she took back the medicine bottle on the ground and walked towards the cave entrance.
"Miss Xing, don't tell anyone about my breakthrough."
Han Jue reminded her. His cultivation speed was too astonishing. If news of this got out, he wouldn't be able to cultivate in peace.
Xing Hongxuan turned and smiled. "Don't worry. I'm also afraid that you will attract the attention of other girls."
Her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and it was extremely moving.
Han Jue quickly suppressed his palpitations.
What a terrifying woman!
I almost fell for it!
After Xing Hongxuan left, Han Jue waved his hand and activated the array formation again. He closed the stone gate and continued his cultivation.
"Xing Hongxuan… Fairy Xi Xuan… both have the word 'Xuan' in their names. Could it be that they are related?"
Han Jue held his breath and thought silently.

Chapter 28: Target Is Nascent Soul Realm, Huge Changes
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
To Han Jue, the feud between the Viridescent Nether Cult and the Jade Pure Sect had been going on for decades. In reality, it had been even longer.
The two sects weren't the only ones in the cultivation world. There were other sects as well. Their enemies weren't just each other.
It was precisely because of this that the Viridescent Nether Cult and the Jade Pure Sect didn't dare to make a move. They were afraid that both sides would suffer losses and give the other sects a chance to reap the benefits.
In a dark hall, eight figures were meditating.
Zhang Kunmo was among them.
The leader was a man in a blood-red robe. His hair was black and white, and he had an indifferent expression. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand.
He was Duan Tongtian, Cult Leader of the Viridescent Nether Cult!
"You still haven't caught Li Qingzi after so long?" Duan Tongtian asked in a deep voice.
The seven elders fell silent.
They had chased after Li Qingzi for nearly twenty years, and each time, Li Qingzi was lucky enough to escape.
Li Qingzi intentionally didn't return to the Jade Pure Sect. He was acting as the decoy for the sect.
Zhang Kunmo said, "Let's just ignore him and attack the Jade Pure Sect directly. My disciple was killed there. We put in so much effort on Santian. Aren't you going to seek revenge?"
He gritted his teeth at the thought of Han Jue.
Back then, he had threatened him. But after so many years, he still hadn't taken action.
He could even imagine Han Jue mocking him for boasting.
"I think so, too. Our overall strength has already surpassed the Jade Pure Sect's. We can attack them directly!"
"During the Demonic Path Convention, the other sects have already declared that unless we conquer the neighboring Jade Pure Sect, they will not submit to us."
"That's right. If we can't even defeat a nearby orthodox sect, how can we be the leader of the demonic path sects?"
"I'm willing to lead my disciples to attack the Jade Pure Sect!"
"Other than Li Qingzi, there's another old monster in the Jade Pure Sect."
The elders began to discuss amongst themselves.
Duan Tongtian's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.
After a long time, all the elders stopped and turned to look at him, waiting for him to make a decision.
Duan Tongtian said, "I'm preparing to break through to the Soul Formation realm. Let's launch the attack after my success. By then, it would be very easy to defeat the Jade Pure Sect."
Soul Formation realm!
The elders looked at him in shock.
Zhang Kunmo took a deep breath and asked, "Leader, are you confident?"
Duan Tongtian said calmly, "I've been preparing for this for decades. I'm 90% confident. Thirty more years, it won't be long!"
Thirty years!
To mortals, it might be half a lifetime.
But to them, it wasn't long at all.It had been ten years since Xing Hongxuan left.
Han Jue cultivated his wind cultivation potential to the ninth level of the Golden Core realm and his fire cultivation potential to the third.
Ever since his thunder cultivation potential reached the ninth level of the Golden Core realm, cultivating the other cultivation potentials was twice as easy.
Han Jue already saw the Nascent Soul realm waving at him.
He grew stronger every day. It was a wonderful feeling. So, cultivating in seclusion wasn't boring at all.
Only by reaching the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible could one truly emerge from the weak!
Han Jue was already eighty-eight years old, and he was at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm. In the cultivation world, there was definitely no other person as fast as him.
But he was still unsatisfied.
Even reaching the Nascent Soul realm wasn't enough.
He wanted to cultivate until the end, until he was absolutely invincible!
One fine day.
Chang Yue'er came to visit.
Han Jue closed the array formation and welcomed her into the residence.
"Junior Brother, I'm here to see you. I also brought you some natural treasures. Planting them by the pool will make the Spirit Qi in your cave abode even richer. In the future, it might become the cave abode with the richest Spirit Qi in the entire Jade Pure Sect," Chang Yue'er said with a smile.
She walked to the edge of the pool and began scattering seeds.
Han Jue smiled. "Thank you, Senior."
"Don't thank me. It was all given to me by Master. I'm just helping out with some manual labor," Chang Yue'er said with a smile.
Han Jue couldn't help but think about Fairy Xi Xuan.
He uttered a word of gratitude in his head.
Chang Yue'er continued, "Ever since you went into seclusion, Jade Serene Peak welcomed several new disciples. Junior Iron, who was ranked behind you, passed away two years ago."
Elder Iron has died?
Han Jue was stunned.
He hurriedly clicked on his interpersonal relationships and realized that he could no longer find Elder Iron's profile picture.
He was gone.
"Speaking of him, his cultivation potential was so bad. He should have spent his entire life in the outer sect. To be able to come to the inner sect, he definitely had no more regrets. However, before his death, he wanted to see you. His apprentice alchemist told me that."
"Why did he want to see me?" Han Jue asked with a complicated expression.
He used to hate Elder Iron.
But now that he thought about it, Elder Iron had never hurt him. It could even be said that he had raised him.
Elder Iron's death caused Han Jue's disgust towards him to disappear without a trace. He even felt a bit melancholy.
This is the path of cultivation.
People always die on the way.
But, I can't die halfway!
Han Jue became more determined to pursue immortality.
Chang Yue'er shook her head and said, "How would I know? Did you know each other before?"
Only a few people knew that Han Jue and Elder Iron knew each other. Chang Yue'er wasn't one of them.
"It doesn't matter anymore. Senior, cultivate harder. If you die too, I will be sad."
Han Jue was sincere this time.
After coming to this world, he didn't know many people. There were even fewer people who had treated him well.
Chang Yue'er turned to look at him and smiled. "Hmph, stinky little junior. I thought you didn't care about me."
Han Jue smiled and shook his head.
The two of them started chatting.
Most of the time, Chang Yue'er was the one talking. She described everything that had happened in the inner sect.
Zhou Fan had completely risen up and became an influential figure in the inner sect. He succeeded in his challenge against the eldest disciple of Sword Peak with his Foundation Establishment cultivation. He won over his companion and shocked the entire sect. But on the second day after their wedding, he divorced the woman again. It was a huge controversy.
Currently, Zhou Fan and Mo Fuchou had already become the representatives of the Heavenly Thunder Peak. They were both personal disciples, and Mo Fuchou was even a core candidate.
Xing Hongxuan had been cultivating at Main Peak. So, she wasn't very famous.
"Alright, it's time for me to go back and cultivate. I'll try to accompany you on the road of cultivation for a bit longer." Chang Yue'er playfully smiled and then left.
Han Jue sighed.
Although Chang Yue'er was joking, Han Jue felt sad when he heard her words.
Han Jue was someone who wanted to live forever. Chang Yue'er's talent was far inferior to his, so she definitely wouldn't live as long as him!
However, Han Jue wasn't a pretentious person and quickly adjusted his mentality.
If he had the ability in the future, he could also help those close to him.
For example, Fairy Xi Xuan, Chang Yue'er, and Xing Hongxuan.
Should Mo Zhu be included?
Han Jue pondered silently.
He suddenly raised his right hand and used his finger as a sword to write two words on the stone wall across him.
Elder Iron.
He stood up and bowed at the name.
It was a late farewell.
Hopefully, Elder Iron will be reborn in a good family.
After that, Han Jue continued to meditate and cultivate.It had been another ten years.
Han Jue's fire and water cultivation potentials had reached the ninth and seventh levels of the Golden Core realm, respectively. He was only left with earth and wood cultivation potentials.
This speed was already amazing, but he was somewhat dissatisfied.
He began to rummage through his Little Universe Belt to check the medicinal pills left behind by Chen Santian.
Chen Santian was also a Golden Core cultivator. Perhaps he had Golden Core cultivation pills.
Unfortunately, no.
This brat's medicinal pills were mostly poison, aphrodisiacs, and all sorts of despicable drugs.
"As expected of a f*king member of the Cult!"
Han Jue couldn't help but curse.

Chapter 29: Slaughter a Fifth Level Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, Soul Formation Realm Cultivator in the Cult
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Without the aid of pills, Han Jue could only continue cultivating with great difficulty.
Even so, he was getting closer and closer to the Nascent Soul realm.
Two years later.
His water cultivation potential had finally reached the ninth level of the Golden Core realm. Han Jue began cultivating his wood cultivation potential.
Lines of words suddenly appeared in front of him:
[Congratulations on reaching 100 years old. You have unlocked the Simulation Trial function.]
[Simulation Trial: You can set your opponent's cultivation level and level of strength to simulate a battle. You can also detect all living beings within a radius of a hundred miles and simulate a battle with them. The result of the battle will not affect the physical and mental state of the opponent. The number of times you activate this function is unlimited.]
Simulation Trial?
It can even detect living beings within a radius of fifty kilometers?
Han Jue was first stunned, then pleasantly surprised.
This is an overpowered function!
Han Jue didn't know how strong he was. He could finally give it a try now.
He immediately activated the Simulation Trial function and closed his eyes.
He came to a dark space.
[You can choose a character in interpersonal relationships to be your opponent.]
Han Jue immediately chose Li Qingzi.
He wanted to see the difference in strength between him and the Sect Master.
Soon, Li Qingzi appeared in front of him. This Li Qingzi was expressionless and looked like a puppet.
The battle began!
Li Qingzi took out a golden ruler and attacked Han Jue.
Han Jue took out the Qilin Sword and used the Seven Illusionary Steps to distance himself from him.
He quickly executed the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique, causing three sword shadows to appear out of thin air and shoot towards Li Qingzi.
Li Qingzi quickly waved his ruler, dispersed the sword shadows, and chased after him.
Han Jue raised his hand and struck out with the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal. The six attributes of spirit energy kept changing, and the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal collided with Li Qingzi.
Initially, Li Qingzi was still able to break the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal, but he was quickly sent flying.
Han Jue raised his eyebrows.
It seemed like his Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal was very powerful!
No wonder it could suppress the Great Grand Elder's essence soul.
However, the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal didn't hurt Li Qingzi. He would always launch his attack again immediately after.
Han Jue wasn't in a hurry. He was already very satisfied to be on par with Li Qingzi.
The battle lasted for ten minutes before Han Jue lost.
Li Qingzi's Heavenly Constellation Golden Body was extremely powerful. When spells hit him, it didn't cause any substantial damage.
However!
Han Jue discovered that using the Qilin Sword to execute the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique would make his attack more damaging. It could break through Li Qingzi's Heavenly Constellation Golden Body and cause him to bleed.
As expected of an unparalleled sword!
However, he would only be able to break through the defense, not claim victory.
He then lowered Li Qingzi's cultivation.
Seventh level of the Nascent Soul realm!
He still couldn't win!
Sixth level of the Nascent Soul realm!
A draw!
Fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm!
He slaughtered Li Qingzi.
Han Jue activated the Qilin Sword and executed the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique. The three sword shadows tore Li Qingzi's body apart.
Not bad! Not bad!
To kill a cultivator five levels above me is up to standard considering my cultivation technique, cultivation potential, sword technique, and unparalleled sword potential!
Han Jue thought silently.
Subsequently, he lowered Li Qingzi's cultivation level to the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm and realized that his spirit energy far exceeded Li Qingzi's.
The power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique was evident. Cultivating all six types of cultivation potentials gave an abundant pool of spirit energy. He could instantly kill Li Qingzi of the same cultivation level as him without using the Qilin Sword.
When his consciousness returned to reality, Han Jue opened his eyes.
I can kill a fifth-level Nascent Soul realm expert now. When I break through to the Nascent Soul realm, wouldn't I be able to compete with a Soul Formation realm cultivator?
Han Jue thought excitedly, but then shook his head.
The strength of a Soul Formation realm cultivator was definitely vastly different from that of a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. He couldn't let his imagination wild, or else he might fail.
I have to think that I can't beat a Soul Formation realm cultivator. That's the only way to be cautious.
Han Jue warned himself silently.
Only wood and earth cultivation potentials left.
Han Jue was full of fighting spirit. He felt that he would be able to cultivate both to the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm within ten years!
As more and more cultivation potentials reached the ninth level of the Golden Core realm, the cultivation speed of the remaining ones became faster and faster. Ten years was enough for him to cultivate the two remaining potentials to the ninth level!Ten years went by quickly.
Han Jue didn't leave the cave abode even half a step. He practically cultivated the entire time.
He had successfully cultivated all his cultivation potentials to the ninth level of the Golden Core realm. Next, he would begin cultivation to perfection.
Han Jue was pleasantly surprised to discover that he could actually absorb six types of Spirit Qi at the same time.
It was something new!
Can it be that the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm is a threshold?
Han Jue soon discovered that absorbing six types of Spirit Qi at the same time wasn't too slow for his cultivation speed. Overall, it was faster than before.
Good news!
Han Jue was confident and continued to cultivate.
Half a year later, all his cultivation potentials had reached perfection.
He could finally cultivate his Nascent Soul!
Han Jue didn't relax. He started to prepare for the tribulation transcendence!
He established a barrier covering the entire connate cave abode!Jade Pure Sect, Main Peak.
Inside the hall.
Li Qingzi sat at the end of the table. The Elders of the eighteen peaks were gathered. Besides them, there were several other Elders.
Everyone's expression was very grave.
Heavenly Thunder Peak's Old Immortal Daoist Thunder's expression was really pale. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Is this true?"
Li Qingzi sighed and said, "It's absolutely true. Duan Tongtian had just transcended tribulation a month ago. He's now consolidating his cultivation. He's already a Soul Formation realm almighty!"
Soul Formation realm!
Everyone was scared out of their mind. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.
Even Fairy Xi Xuan didn't look good.
"Where's Master? Hasn't he already cultivated his essence soul? Is he already close to the Soul Formation realm?" Daoist Jingxu hurriedly asked.
Li Qingzi sighed and said, "No, his essence soul is only a mystical power. He seemed to have suffered some kind of blow previously and gave up on it decades ago. He's still cultivating bitterly now. Although he's already at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm, there's still an insurmountable gap between him and the Soul Formation realm."
The hall fell into deathly silence. Everyone was stressed.
An elder couldn't help but ask, "Then, what should we do? Ask for help?"
Li Qingzi sighed and said, "I've already sent a letter to other orthodox sects asking for help. I haven't received any reply yet."
The elders began to discuss amongst themselves.
"Soul Formation realm! Even if all of us joined forces, we still might not be able to defeat him!"
"Other than Duan Tongtian, there are many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Viridescent Nether Cult."
"Sigh. Who would know that the goddamned Cult would produce a Soul Formation realm cultivator? Our end has come."
"We definitely won't be able to win in a direct confrontation. Why don't we escape?"
"How are we going to escape? Where are we going to escape to? Are we going to abandon our centuries of establishment?"
The elders were all talking at once, and their tone was very bad.
No one could speak calmly in the face of such a crisis.
Li Qingzi sighed, his face full of worry.Kuang—
The bell rang on Jade Serene Peak. All the disciples gathered in front of the main door of the Jade Serene Hall.
After entering the hall, the disciples found mats to sit on.
Fairy Xi Xuan glanced around and frowned slightly.
Han Jue didn't come again.
Forget it.
All the disciples looked at Fairy Xi Xuan. There was no nervousness nor anticipation.
They thought it was about the upcoming inner sect assessment.
"From the latest information, the cult leader of the Viridescent Nether Cult, Duan Tongtian, has already reached the Soul Formation realm. If there are no accidents, the Cult will launch a large-scale invasion against us in a few years."
Fairy Xi Xuan's expression was indifferent as she spoke.
The disciples were stunned for a moment before exploding.
"Soul Formation realm!"
"Impossible!"
"Do we have Soul Formation cultivators?"
"Of course not, Soul Formation realm only exists in the legends!"
"It's over… No wonder the Cult is becoming more rampant lately…"

Chapter 30: Mystical Power, Heavenly Punishment Ghost Deity Sword!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fairy Xi Xuan raised her hand, signaling the disciples to be quiet.
The disciples quickly quietened down and looked at her nervously.
The emergence of a Soul Formation realm cultivator in the Cult was definitely a catastrophe for the Jade Pure Sect.
"Even if they have a Soul Formation realm cultivator, we still have to fight. Jade Pure Sect has been established for almost a thousand years, how can it be destroyed by the Cult? I don't usually ask you all to contribute to the sect, but since the sect is in trouble, all of you must be prepared to fight. From today onwards, all of you are not allowed to leave the Jade Pure Sect. Focus on your cultivation and prepare for the battle!"
Fairy Xi Xuan swept her gaze over everyone as she spoke.
The strong aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator erupted, enveloping the entire hall.
The disciples felt a chill in their hearts. Even though they were afraid, they didn't dare to show it.
As matters stood, there was no other way.
They had all dealt with the Cult before and knew that the consequences of surrendering would be worse.Inside the connate cave abode, thunder rumbled.
Han Jue was transcending the tribulation.
Under the barrier's enclosure, the sound and aura of the heavenly thunder did not leak out.
This heavenly tribulation was different from the ones he encountered before. The lightning transformed into a dragon, and it was even more destructive than before.
Nevertheless, it couldn't break through the Golden Cicada's Mystic Divine Robe's defense.
In order to prevent the plants in the cave abode from being destroyed, Han Jue used his spirit energy to protect them. Fortunately, the lightning only kept bombarding him.
The cave wasn't big, but it was very high. The dark clouds blocked the hole on top.
During the tribulation, Han Jue had nightmares from time to time.
There were all kinds of nightmares, including the death of his friends and Master, as well as returning to his previous life and realizing it was all just a dream.
Fortunately, Han Jue had a strong will and these nightmares couldn't affect him at all.
The inner evil didn't even have a chance to emerge.
"Nascent Soul realm, I'm definitely going to break through!"
Han Jue thought excitedly.
As he continued to circulate his spirit energy according to the cultivation method, the six spirit energies in his body formed a vortex once again. As they gathered on his Golden Core, the outline of a nascent soul could be vaguely seen.
He was already close to the Nascent Soul realm.
"Junior!"
Chang Yue'er's voice came from outside the cave abode. Han Jue thought it was a hallucination. He had heard it before, so he didn't take it to heart.
Outside the cave abode.
Chang Yue'er called out a few times, but Han Jue didn't answer.
She couldn't help but frown as she muttered, "Stinky Junior, you're cultivating too seriously. The sect is in crisis, but you don't even want to come out."
She thought about it and decided to stay outside the cave abode. She walked to a tree not far away and started meditating.
If the Viridescent Nether Cult attacked the Jade Pure Sect from this side, Han Jue would definitely be the first to face trouble. She had to protect him.
Of course, with her strength, it was very difficult for her to protect him. But when Han Jue woke up from his cultivation, she could tell him immediately and bring him back to the inner sect to hide.
Ten days later.
Han Jue finally reached the Nascent Soul realm, and his spiritual strength soared!
The six types of spirit energy merged into a new and powerful spirit energy.
Six Paths spirit energy!
A line of words appeared in front of Han Jue.
[Congratulations on breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm. You will obtain a Mystical Power reward.]
[You chose the path of a Swordsman.]
[Congratulations on obtaining a Sword Dao mystical power—Heavenly Punishment Ghost Deity Sword.]
Wow…
Heavenly Punishment Ghost Deity Sword…
What a dramatic name. So embarrassing!
Han Jue thought excitedly. He immediately began to inherit the mystical power.
Although it was a mystical power, it was still a Sword Dao. It wasn't difficult for Han Jue.
A mystical power was different from usual magic. He would be able to use it immediately after understanding it. Practice wasn't necessary.
But of course, he could still practice it if he wanted to. It would make him more proficient with it.
At the same time.
Outside the cave abode.
Chang Yue'er was meditating and cultivating.
She was already used to cultivating nearby.
She opened her eyes to look at the cave abode and muttered, "Stinky Junior, you still aren't coming out. Luckily, the Cult didn't invade us."
She wanted to leave many times, but she was afraid that she would miss the time when Han Jue came out of seclusion.
Chang Yue'er sighed and closed her eyes again.
She liked him, after all.
Maybe wait a little longer.The next day.
Han Jue successfully grasped the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Deity Sword!
He opened his attributes panel:

[Check interpersonal relationships]His lifespan had increased greatly to 988 years!
He was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm. If he reached the ninth level, he would definitely hit a thousand years old!
Awesome!
Han Jue smiled proudly. He wasn't planning to leave the cave abode, but to continue cultivating,
when he suddenly discovered Chang Yue'er meditating outside.
Previously, he had heard Chang Yue'er's voice, but he was breaking through and thought that it was an illusion.
Han Jue hesitated whether he should check out what was going on outside.
However, he saw that Chang Yue'er was cultivating and there seemed to be no urgent matter.
She actually wants to tap into the Spirit Qi in my cave abode.
But all the spirit herbs in the cave abode were planted by her. So, Han Jue decided to allow it.
Continue cultivating!A year later.
Chang Yue'er suddenly stood up and looked into the distance in fear.
Thunderclouds appeared above the eighteen peaks of the Jade Pure Sect, surging violently and covering the sky.
On the west side of the Jade Pure Sect, fiendish cultivators charged out of the forest one after another. A huge army of them flew on their swords and sped towards the Jade Pure Sect. Fiendish aura gathered together like a sea of darkness.
The Cult was here!
Chang Yue'er immediately panicked.
Instinctively, she wanted to call out to Han Jue. But on second thought, the Cult was attacking from the other side. Junior Han's cave was nicely out of the way.
If she woke him up and brought him back to the inner sect, it might actually end up worse.
Chang Yue'er bit her lips, before leaping onto her sword and flying towards Jade Serene Peak.
Inside the connate cave abode.
Han Jue was cultivating when a notification appeared before his eyes.
[Your sect, Jade Pure Sect, is currently under attack by the Viridescent Nether Cult.]
Han Jue was stunned. He quickly reached out with his divine sense and saw the astounding scene of the Cult attacking the Jade Pure Sect.
Why suddenly start fighting?
Han Jue was already a Nascent Soul realm expert. His strength was far greater than before, so he naturally didn't panic.
But the scale of the invasion was very large. He had to be cautious.
Han Jue didn't go to help immediately.
He activated the Simulation Trial function to detect everyone in Jade Pure Sect and let the system search for the strongest person.
[Duan Tongtian: First level of the Soul Formation realm, Cult Leader of the Viridescent Nether Cult.]
Soul Formation realm!
Han Jue shuddered.
So fierce?
Han Jue's first reaction was to run.
Jade Pure Sect has no chance!
Calm down!
I'm no longer the same as before. I could kill Nascent Soul realm cultivators when I was at the Golden Core realm!
Han Jue decided to test Duan Tongtian's strength first.
He wanted to see if he could deal with him with the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Deity Sword!
Han Jue's consciousness immediately entered the trial space.
The battle began!
A minute later.
Han Jue opened his eyes. He had an awkward expression on his face.
He muttered to himself, "That's it?"
He had underestimated himself.
I have an unparalleled sword!
My cultivation technique is inherited from the Immortal Emperor!
I have the spiritual physique of the Six Paths!
And I have mystical powers!
I can't benchmark myself with ordinary people.
Han Jue stood up and prepared to head to the Jade Pure Sect.The once-flourishing Jade Pure Sect was now in chaos. The inner sect city had been reduced to ruins and corpses were everywhere.
The eighteen peaks were filled with figures battling.
"Cao Cao! Cao Cao! Come out and die!"
Chen Santian's Master, Zhang Kunmo, floated in the air. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with rage.
He was infuriated.
He had been here for so long, but Cao Cao hadn't shown himself.
Could he have run away?
He had withheld his vengeance for decades. He was waiting for this day to avenge his beloved disciple, but he couldn't find the enemy. How frustrating!
Zhang Kunmo turned his head to look at the Jade Pure Sect's Main Peak. The lofty Main Peak had already been set on fire. Flames swept through the sky, creating a magnificent sight.
"Cult Leader should be ending it soon," Zhang Kunmo muttered to himself. He could feel the aura of the Jade Pure Sect Elders rapidly weakening.
No one in the Jade Pure Sect could stop a Soul Formation cultivator!

Chapter 31: A Kill Every Ten Steps, Casually Leave When the Deed Ends!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jade Pure Sect, Main Peak.
The elders of the eighteen peaks were all heavily injured. They were either meditating to recuperate or lying on the ground, unable to get up.
They were all staring at the sky as Li Qingzi and the Great Grand Elder fought Duan Tongtian.
Duan Tongtian's black robes fluttered in the wind as a gigantic black mountain floated behind him. Lightning interweaved on the black mountain, and the powerful suction force made it difficult for Li Qingzi and the Great Grand Elder to move. Violent winds wreaked havoc on the mountain, sweeping up countless trees as dust mixed with sparks flying.
Li Qingzi and the Great Grand Elder were both injured. Their Daoist robes were torn and their hair was disheveled. They looked extremely pathetic.
Although they were already exhausted, they still had to fight.
They knew that if they were defeated, it would really be the end of the Jade Pure Sect.
Their skin was golden in color, and their muscles exposed through the holes on their robes were visually impactful.
Heavenly Constellation Golden Body!
If not for this secret technique, they would have long been defeated.
Duan Tongtian looked down at them and said with a sinister smile, "Give up. You aren't my match at all. If you kneel and beg for mercy, perhaps I can make your disciples suffer less.
"The grudge that has lasted for hundreds of years should be settled!"
Li Qingzi, still holding his golden ruler, spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted, "Duan Tongtian, the disciples of the Jade Pure Sect would rather die than submit to the demonic path!"
With a swing of his ruler, gales of fire swept forth toward Duan Tongtian.
Duan Tongtian waved his hand casually, and the black mountain behind him absorbed the fire gust.
Great Grand Elder cursed and said, gritting his teeth, "This mountain is a connate black magnet. It absorbs and dissolves spirit energy. This demon doesn't even need to cast any spells. He will exhaust us to death just with the magnet!"
Duan Tongtian hadn't used his full strength this entire time. He was deliberately playing with and torturing them.
"Damn it! What should we do?"
Li Qingzi clenched his fist indignantly.
Great Grand Elder fell silent.
Not far away, Fairy Xi Xuan sighed.
We're finished, after all!
Fairy Xi Xuan couldn't help but think of Han Jue.
That kid is probably still in seclusion!
Fairy Xi Xuan was both angry and helpless. Her heart filled with sorrow.
She blamed herself even more when she thought of the other disciples.
"As your master, I can't protect you. I can only die before you…"
Fairy Xi Xuan slowly stood up, her body swaying, but her eyes were still filled with determination.
Even if she died, she would die for the Jade Pure Sect!At the edge of the cliff, Mo Zhu was stopped by two fiendish cultivators.
"Hehe, little beauty. If you're willing to serve us and make us happy, you might not have to die!"
One of them laughed and looked at her with lust.
Mo Zhu looked behind them. Mo Fuchou was busy fighting three other Golden Core Realm cultivators from the Viridescent Nether Cult and couldn't save her.
"Damn it…"
Mo Zhu gritted her teeth, turned, and leaped down the cliff.
Even if she died, she didn't want to be harassed by the fiendish cultivators!
She fell through layers of clouds.
She wanted to use her flying sword, but she had exhausted the spirit energy in her body.
She smiled bitterly. She was really going to die now.
She closed her eyes slowly as a face appeared in her mind.
A face of unparalleled beauty that was even prettier than women.
If I was as determined as him when cultivating, I would have been able to kill a few more fiendish cultivators now before I die.
Sigh.
Han Jue, will we meet again in our next life?
No.
I hope that in my next life, you will have achieved immortality.
Sparkling tears fell from the corners of Mo Zhu's eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly felt someone catch her and heard a familiar voice.
"Miss Mo, why are you down here?"
Han Jue!
Mo Zhu was stunned. What does he mean by "down here"?
Is Han Jue already dead?
Are we in the Yellow Spring?
Mo Zhu opened her eyes and saw Han Jue's handsome face.
She was lying in his arms.
Han Jue caught Mo Fuchou's aura and immediately flew up, carrying Mo Zhu.
Honestly, this girl has a good body. She's so comfortable to hug!
Bah!
What nonsense are you thinking!
It must be a test from the Great Dao!
"Are we already dead?" Mo Zhu stared at him in a daze and asked weakly.
Hearing that, Han Jue raised his right hand.
Pa!
He slapped Mo Zhu, and she instantly jolted awake.
So painful!
Mo Zhu rubbed her red cheeks and looked at him in surprise.
As the two of them returned to the cliff, Han Jue swept his gaze over and saw Mo Fuchou being surrounded by three fiendish cultivators.
He immediately used the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique.
With a flash of sword light, blood painted the ground!
The three fiendish cultivators were instantly killed by the sword shadows.
Mo Fuchou was stunned.
Three Golden Core Realm experts were instantly killed?
When he saw that it was Han Jue who had attacked, he was very shocked.
Impossible!
"Brother Han…" Mo Fuchou wanted to say something, but Han Jue suddenly tossed Mo Zhu to him.
"Take care of her."
With these words, Han Jue continued to fly towards the main peak.
[Mo Fuchou's favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 5.5 stars.]
Han Jue ignored the notification.
Along the way, he used his finger as a sword and continuously executed the Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword, causing Sword Qi to shoot out and kill the fiendish cultivators along the way.
The disciples of Jade Pure Sect looked at him in shock.
"Who is that person?"
"So strong!"
"Is he an elder of the sect? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"Wait, he seems to be a disciple from Jade Serene Peak, ranked third in the inner disciple trial a few decades ago."
"Is he a core candidate?"
Han Jue disregarded the gazes along the way and reached out with his divine sense.
He could feel the powerful pressure coming from Main Peak.
The aura of a Soul Formation realm cultivator!
When Han Jue passed by Jade Serene Peak, he caught Chang Yue'er's aura.
Chang Yue'er and the disciples of Jade Serene Peak were fighting as a large group against twice as many fiendish cultivators. The situation was extremely bad.
Han Jue waved his hand, and sword shadows immediately zoomed off.
Three sword shadows of different colors were as fast as lightning, killing one fiendish cultivator after another.
Screams of agony could be heard.
Liu Sanxin, Chang Yue'er, and the rest were stunned. They turned their heads subconsciously and saw Han Jue flying over from afar.
"Junior Han!"
Chang Yue'er cried out in joy.
The surrounding fiendish cultivators were so frightened that they fled. However, the sword shadows chased after them. When Han Jue vanished from sight, the sword shadows had already killed close to a hundred fiendish cultivators.
A kill every ten steps, casually leave when the deed ends!
"Is it really Junior Han Jue?"
Liu Sanxin was stunned.
He thought that Han Jue was just passing by and that the one who really attacked was another expert. The technique was too powerful.Main Peak. In the forest.
Xing Hongxuan was leaning against a tree trunk. Her right arm was bleeding profusely, and her robes were soaked red. Yet, she still looked extremely beautiful.
In front of her stood a man in black.
The black-clothed man held a ring-shaped saber in his hand and smiled sinisterly.
"I'll give you a chance. Go back and marry me and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, you'll die here. I'll extract your soul and refine you into a ghost slave!"
Faced with the black-robed man's threat, Xing Hongxuan gritted her teeth and said, "It's impossible for me to return to the Cult. When Duan Tongtian forced my parents to their deaths, I decided to take revenge!
"As for marrying you, are you even worthy?"
A hint of killing intent flashed through the black-robed man's eyes.
You're about to die, yet you still dare to mock me!
You're asking for it!
The man in black was about to speak when he suddenly looked up and saw a figure appear above the forest.
Xing Hongxuan looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Husband!"
Han Jue asked indifferently, "Miss Xing, do you need help?"

Chapter 32: I'm a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bastard!
How dare you harm my potential companion?
Han Jue looked indifferent, but he was surging with killing intent deep within.
When Xing Hongxuan heard Han Jue's question, she subconsciously nodded. However, on second thought, this black-clothed man was ranked second among the Cult's core disciples.
Even if Han Jue had already broken through to the Golden Core realm, he was definitely at the early stages of the Golden Core realm.
How could he defeat the black-robed man?'
Xing Hongxuan said, "Husband, hurry…"
Before she could say "escape", the man in black suddenly attacked.
The black-robed man sensed that Han Jue was at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
How dare a ninth-level Foundation Establishment realm cultivator disturb me?
How impudent!
The man in black slashed out with his saber, causing saber Qi to rise rapidly.
Without another word, Han Jue raised his hand and executed the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal.
The golden jade seal descended from the sky and dispersed the saber Qi before pressing down on the man in black.
It was a terrifying amount of pressure. Greatly shocked, the man in black immediately jumped away.
Han Jue followed up with the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique. Sword shadows flashed.
The man in black died before he even landed.
It was a gruesome death. He was torn into pieces.
Xing Hongxuan widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Find a place to hide."
With these words, Han Jue flew towards the summit of Main Peak.
Xing Hongxuan was rooted in place in the forest for a long while.
[Xing Hongxuan's favorability toward you has increased. Current favorability: 6 stars]
It increased again!
Han Jue smiled bitterly. It seemed that this woman would never fall in love with another man in her life.
My damned charm and strength!On Main Peak, Fairy Xi Xuan, Old Immortal Daoist Thunder, Daoist Jingxu, and the other elders were all lying in pools of blood, heavily injured.
Most of the elders of the eighteen peaks were here, while the remaining elders were in the inner sect battling with the other experts of the Cult.
Compared to them, Li Qingzi and the Great Grand Elder were in the worst state.
Both of their Heavenly Constellation Golden Bodies had been destroyed. Li Qingzi lost both his arms and knelt in the ruins.
The Great Grand Elder's face was covered in blood as he meditated to recover.
There was no more suspense in this battle.
Duan Tongtian stood on the connate black magnet with a mocking smile. "Do you still want to resist? Guess how many people from Jade Pure Sect are still alive?"
The elders were silent. Many of them had even closed their eyes and were waiting for death.
Fairy Xi Xuan also closed her eyes.
Jade Pure Sect would be destroyed today. From today onwards, Jade Pure Sect would no longer exist in the cultivation world.
"Villains die from talking too much. I don't think you've heard of this saying before."
A voice drifted over.
Duan Tongtian glanced over and saw Han Jue flying over at a moderate speed on his flying sword.
Ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm?
Duan Tongtian laughed.
All the elders of the Jade Pure Sect looked over.
When Fairy Xi Xuan saw Han Jue, she immediately panicked and hurriedly said, "What are you doing here! Hurry up and leave!"
Li Qingzi and the Great Grand Elder looked at Han Jue with complicated expressions.
They still remembered him.
They had bad impressions of him. They felt that he was afraid of death and had no future.
They didn't expect that only Han Jue would dare to come up the mountain during this crisis.
"Sigh!"
They both sighed at the same time.
Han Jue flew to Fairy Xi Xuan and asked with concern, "Master, are you alright?"
Fairy Xi Xuan's hair was messy. This was the first time Han Jue saw her in such an unglamorous state.
Even so, Master is still breathtakingly beautiful.
Fairy Xi Xuan said in a low voice, "Listen! Leave immediately. Run as far as you can. From now on, you're no longer a disciple of the Jade Pure Sect!"
[Facing the powerful Cult Leader, Fairy Xi Xuan wishes for you to leave. You have the following choices]
1
1
Han Jue wasn't affected by the notification.
He had come here because he had already made the decision.
Duan Tongtian said with a smile, "Kid, you have guts. Amongst the Jade Pure Sect disciples, only you have guts. If you kneel and kowtow three times to me, I will spare your life and give you a chance to join the Viridescent Nether Cult!"
Boom—
Immediately after speaking, he unleashed the terrifying aura of a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, and the rubble on the ground trembled so violently that it couldn't even settle on the ground.
Han Jue's black hair fluttered in the wind. He was calm as he turned to look at Duan Tongtian.
"Are you really not going to spare the Jade Pure Sect?" Han Jue asked.
The Qilin Sword appeared in his hand.
His blood was boiling.
Even if I'm low profile, I still fight for a cause!
Right now, I'm going to kill a Soul Formation realm cultivator!
Duan Tongtian laughed scornfully. "How can we let go of a grudge that has lasted for hundreds of years? If it was you in my shoes, you wouldn't spare the Viridescent Nether Cult!"
Han Jue nodded in agreement.
He walked towards Duan Tongtian.
"Are you willing to give in?" Duan Tongtian asked with a spurious smile.
Han Jue smiled and said, "Not really. I'm prepared to kill you."
He said this very casually, but it shocked all the elders of the Jade Pure Sect.
When all the experts of the sect were defeated, a Foundation Establishment realm disciple actually dared to stand out and say that he wanted to kill the Cult Leader. What kind of guts did he have!
At this moment, all the elders looked at Han Jue with a different gaze. They were full of respect.
Even if he died, he would die a spectacular death!
"Hahaha, we already have such a disciple. So what if we perish?"
Old Immortal Daoist Thunder laughed loudly. Because he laughed too hard, his injuries were accidentally aggravated, causing him to cough in pain.
The other elders praised Han Jue.
Duan Tongtian frowned as killing intent flashed across his eyes.
Just as he was about to speak, a thunderous roar erupted.
"Cao Cao! So you're here! Die!"
Zhang Kunmo sped over with an iron whip in hand and a flying sword beneath his feet. He was furious.
Han Jue turned around and looked at him carefully.
Hey!
Isn't he Chen Santian's master?
The enraged Zhang Kunmo charged towards Han Jue without any hesitation.
Just as he was about to collide with him, Han Jue raised his hand and used the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal.
The surging Six Paths spirit energy transformed into a golden jade seal, shooting out like a mountain. It was a juggernaut.
All Jade Pure Sect elders widened their eyes.
His spirit energy…
Fairy Xi Xuan was also shocked, and her beautiful eyes widened.
Zhang Kunmo's expression changed drastically, and he immediately brandished his iron whip. Fiendish Qi surged into the iron whip and was discharged as a violent gust.
Boom!
The Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal exploded, and Zhang Kunmo was sent flying while vomiting blood. He plunged into the sea of clouds and vanished without a trace.
Instant defeat!
Impossible!
Everyone was astonished!
Duan Tongtian couldn't help widening his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.
Zhang Kunmo wasn't weak. In terms of strength, he was ranked in the top three of the Viridescent Nether Cult!
This kid's spiritual energy is so overwhelming!
He's not at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm!
Nascent Soul Realm!
Why didn't I know that the Jade Pure Sect had this Nascent Soul realm cultivator?
"Boy, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant. But do you know my cultivation level?" Duan Tongtian asked with a spurious smile.
Han Jue couldn't help thinking that he was nuts.
Why do you have so much to say?
Showing off?
Han Jue feigned ignorance and said, "The ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm?"
"I'm a Soul Formation cultivator!"
Duan Tongtian laughed wantonly.
Han Jue also laughed and pointed his middle finger at him.
Li Qingzi suddenly sent him a voice transmission. "He's stalling for time. Although he's arrogant, he didn't speak so much in the past.
"Kid, you have unparalleled talent. Don't waste time here. Run. You can still escape by yourself.
"You might be able to defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator, but the difference between a Soul Formation cultivator and a Nascent Soul cultivator is like heaven and earth. Don't die here."
Stalling for time?
Han Jue raised his eyebrows.
Then, we will end this quickly!
