Chapter 316 - Fortuitous Encounter in the 33rd Heaven
Facing the clan leader’s question, Xing Hongxuan replied, “The Empress didn’t say much. It seems like she’s afraid of something.”
Her family was a relative of the Sacred Dynasty. Because of her potential, she was very close to the imperial concubines of the family.
Hearing this, the elders fell into discussion again with all sorts of guesses.
Xing Hongxuan listened quietly, her thoughts elsewhere.
She really missed Han Jue after not seeing him for so many years.
Thinking of their past interactions, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve up.
Twenty-three years passed.
Han Jue cultivated as usual.
After breaking through to the Rank Five Immortal Emperor Realm, his cultivation speed did not decrease. Instead, it continued to increase.
Apart from the increasing amount of Connate Qi of the Buzhou Divine Flower, the Stellar Primordial Body also absorbed negative karma faster and faster.
The 36th-grade Reincarnation World Destruction Black Lotus was like a cheat accelerator in the Primordial World. Without it, Han Jue’s cultivation speed would at least be halved.
On this day.
A line of words suddenly appeared in front of
him.
[Detected that your good friend Heavenly Emperor has sent you a dream. Do you want to enter?]
Dream?
Han Jue clicked his tongue in wonder.
The Dao Field was really impressive. It could even block the Heavenly Emperor’s Mystical Power.
Han Jue silently chose to enter.
Immediately after, he entered the dream realm and came to a forest.
This was actually a small forest near the Jade Pure Sacred Sect. Previously, Han Jue and the Heavenly Emperor had also met here.
It seemed that he was also a nostalgic person. When Han Jue saw the Heavenly Emperor, his image didn’t change. The Heavenly Emperor sized him up and smiled. “It seems that you’re living well in the netherworld.”
Han Jue smiled and said, “No way. I’m just hanging on by a thread. Recently, the King of Hell caused trouble and I even relocated once.”
“Is that so? Then, why haven’t you returned to the Heavenly Court?”
“Cough cough! The Heavenly Court is fighting for great providence, it is truly dangerous.”
“Hmph, you’re right. It’s indeed dangerous, so I didn’t force you. In the entire Heavenly Court, other than you, no one has such privilege.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Han Jue hurriedly bowed.
He was sincerely grateful. The Heavenly Emperor had helped him too much. Among them, the Heavenly Cycle Body Tempering Technique had even helped him awaken the Stellar Primordial Body and set his current foundation.
Han Jue suddenly asked, “By the way, Your Majesty, do you know Immortal Emperor Samsara?”
The Heavenly Emperor narrowed his eyes. “Immortal Emperor Samsara, is he the one who gave you the inheritance?”
Han Jue shook his head. “Not really. I obtained it by chance.”
In other words, he had nothing to do with Immortal Emperor Samsara.
The Heavenly Emperor smiled in satisfaction. “I was still worried that you would be abducted by him. I don’t know much about Immortal Emperor Samsara. This person has attained the Dao for a long time and has always been very mysterious. He had been preaching everywhere and might be plotting something.”
Han Jue asked in surprise, “Your Majesty has never seen Immortal Emperor Samsara? That can’t be. I can sense that his aura is in the Heavenly Court.”
If he didn’t say it, he would feel an irresistible itch!
The Heavenly Emperor frowned.
Han Jue observed his expression.
The Heavenly Emperor said angrily, “Tell me, who is it? You must know. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have specially asked.”
Han Jue hesitated. “You really don’t know? I’m afraid of thwarting your plan and don’t dare to say it easily. If it’s part of your plan, I’ll forget about it. I’ll always be on His Majesty’s side!”
The Heavenly Emperor glared at him. “What kind of image do I have in your mind? Do you think I’ll lie? Tell me, I really want to know. To think Immortal Emperor Samsara is actually hiding in the Heavenly Court with ulterior motives.”
It seemed that the Heavenly Emperor really didn’t know.
Han Jue said carefully, “It’s Di Taibai. He looks exactly like Immortal Emperor Samsara. When I cultivated Immortal Emperor Samsara’s cultivation technique, I dreamed of his cultivation scene.”
Di Taibai!
The Heavenly Emperor frowned. He subconsciously wanted to say that it was impossible, but he stopped.
If it was true, it would make him, the Heavenly Emperor, look stupid.
He stared at Han Jue and felt that he was not someone who would lie. He had watched him grow up.
Thinking about it carefully, Di Taibai had indeed been hinting about Han Jue’s loyalty several times.
If he was really Immortal Emperor Samsara, there was indeed a motive for him to doubt him.
The Heavenly Emperor was furious.
In the Heavenly Court, he trusted Di Taibai the most, even more than the Divine General.
Unexpectedly, Di Taibai…
The Heavenly Emperor said, “Is that so? I did suspect his background, but he performed well, so I couldn’t pursue it.
“The origins of the immortals of the Heavenly Court are complicated. I can’t investigate the background of every immortal. They just need to be loyal to the Court.”
Han Jue couldn’t help but feel deep veneration.
As expected of the Heavenly Emperor!
Such magnanimity, such vision!
Wow!
The Heavenly Emperor looked at him and his gaze softened. “When Di Taibai asked if you wanted to become Li Daokong’s disciple, the latter was beside him. Your answer was good.”
Han Jue’s attitude had clearly been leaning towards him, making him very glad.
“No matter how powerful Senior Li is, he’s definitely not as powerful as you. I’d rather be your disciple,” Han Jue said seriously.
This flattery made the Heavenly Emperor feel
good.
“Of course. Although Li Daokong is powerful, he’s not comparable to me,” the Heavenly Emperor said proudly.
Han Jue couldn’t help but be curious. “The Demon Emperor, the Heavenly Dao Buddha, the Divine Palace Master, and Your Majesty are all existences of the same realm?”
“That’s right. Our cultivation has already reached the limit. We can only rely on the great providence of the Immeasurable Calamity to break through.”
“The Divine Palace Master is so strong. Why did he let Senior Li escape?”
“This is a restriction given to us by the Dao Ancestor. We can’t attack existences with low cultivation levels. The Immortal World will be destroyed if the four of us fight to the death.”
The Heavenly Emperor said these words very calmly as if he was saying something ordinary.
Han Jue was enlightened.
No wonder!
This was like the nuclear bombs in the modern world. There were powerful countries, but they wouldn’t use it rashly. It was more of a deterrent effect.
The Heavenly Emperor continued, “I came to you this time because I have a fortuitous encounter to share.”
Fortuitous encounter?
Han Jue frowned instinctively.
Fortuitous encounters represented danger!
“There’s a mighty figure preaching the Dao outside the 33rd Heaven. The various providence factions can bring three disciples to listen to the Dao together. I plan to bring you, the Divine General, and Long Jun there. There’s no danger in the Dao preaching this time. After the Dao preaching ends, I will send you back,” the Heavenly Emperor said calmly. He saw through his thoughts and couldn’t help but find it funny.
Three lines of words appeared in front of Han Jue.
[Detected that the Heavenly Emperor has invited you to the Great Ultimate Hall to listen. You have the following choices:)
(1: If you refuse to go, you will lose a great opportunity. You can obtain a Mystical Power inheritance.)
[2: Agree to go. You can obtain a Great Dao Fragment.] The reward was close to nothing. Han Jue didn’t want to go, but the Heavenly Emperor kept staring at him, clearly hoping that he would go.
The Heavenly Emperor said, “This opportunity has nothing to do with the Immeasurable Calamity. You won’t enter the calamity because of this. Everyone outside the 33rd Heaven is a mighty figure who has achieved the Dao. The battle of the Immeasurable Calamity won’t involve this. I want you to go. Li Daokong and Li Xuan’ao must go too.
“During the preaching, the Immeasurable Calamity should stop for a period of time. Only some small factions will fight.”
