Chapter 13 - Mysterious Beast, The Sect Master's Missing
n
n
nBefore returning to his cave abode, Han Jue first inherited the Seven Illusionary Steps.
nHe had to strengthen himself first to prevent any mishaps.
nUnparalleled Movement Technique: Top-notch movement technique aptitude
nWith this connate providence, Han Jue completely grasped the Seven Illusionary Steps in two hours.
nThere 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.
nAfter mastering it, Han Jue returned to his cave abode to pack his things before heading to the inner sect city.
nHe first went to the mission building to receive the mission before heading to the Pet Beast Pavilion.
n…
nIn the Jade Serene Hall.
nFairy 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.
"
nElder Iron knelt in the hall and sighed, nodding slowly.
n
"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.
"
nFairy Xi Xuan's words shocked Elder Iron.
nPersonal disciple!
nFairy Xi Xuan thinks so highly of Han Jue?
nWhen he thought of Han Jue's insane speed at cultivating, he could only admit.
nThat kid's indeed worthy!
n…
nWalking out of the teleportation formation, Han Jue arrived at the Ten Thousand Demon Realm.
nThe sky of the Ten Thousand Demon Realm was covered in dark clouds as if it were about to rain at any moment.
nHan Jue took out his flying sword and shot up into the sky.
nAccording 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.
nOf 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.
nThe 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.
nThe pavilion wasn't far from the teleportation formation, and Han Jue quickly found it.
nIt was two stories high, and it wasn't very big. The house was deserted.
nAfter familiarizing himself with the mechanisms to trigger the forbidding spells, Han Jue began to meditate and cultivate.
nThe long and boring cultivation began again!
nA year and a half passed quickly.
nHan Jue was already 50 years old.
nName: Han Jue
nLifespan: 50
/ 196
nRace: Mortal
nCultivation: Ninth Level of the Foundation Establishment realm
nTechnique: Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique (Can be inherited)
nMagic: Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword, Seven Illusionary Steps
nMystical Power: None
nEquipment: None
nCultivation 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.
nConnate providence is as follows
nUnparalleled: Immortal beauty, top-notch charm
nDestined Sword Fanatic: Top-notch Sword Dao aptitude, top-notch Sword Dao learning ability
nUnparalleled Movement Technique: Top-notch movement technique aptitude
nDescendant of the Immortal Emperor: After the game begins, you will receive an unparalleled cultivation technique and 1,000 superior-grade spirit stones.
nCheck interpersonal relationships
n…
nHe 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.
nSince Han Jue had nothing to do, he opened his interpersonal relationships to check.
nXing Hongxuan had broken through to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm.
nInteresting.
nElder Iron was still in the first level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
nHan Jue opened the email.
nYour good friend Mo Zhu was attacked by a fiendish cultivator and was almost seriously injured.
nYour good friend Mo Zhu was attacked by disciples of the Jade Pure Sect. She was in a perilous situation and fell down a cliff.
nHan Jue was speechless.
nAs expected, there was a trap in that cave abode. Fortunately, he did not go.
nIt was very unfortunate for her. Han Jue could only pray for her silently.
n
"Roar!
"
nSuddenly, a roar came from outside the pavilion. Han Jue frowned and stood up immediately.
nAs he walked out the door, he saw a white cat standing on a branch.
nThis white cat had a slender figure, but there were white tiger patterns on it. Its purple eyes looked even more demonic.
nHan Jue didn't sense any danger and ignored the little white cat.
nAt this moment!
nThe white cat suddenly pounced on Han Jue.
nHan Jue instinctively used the Seven Illusionary Steps to dodge.
nThe white cat slammed into the wall of the pavilion, kicked off with its four legs, turned around, and continued to pounce on Han Jue.
nHan Jue frowned. The forbidding spells weren't triggered?
nHe quickly jumped out into the clearing.
nThe white cat pounced again, its speed several times faster than before.
n
"So fast!
"
nHan 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.
nThe white cat looked around, caught off-guard, and was hit by the real sword energy.
nBlood splattered as it wailed.
nIt quickly jumped away and disappeared into the woods.
nHan Jue retracted his hand and returned to the pavilion.
nHe let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
nFortunately, he had learned the Seven Illusionary Steps beforehand. Otherwise, with the white cat's speed, he wouldn't have been its match.
n
"Where did that white cat come from? It's so fast, but luckily, it doesn't have any other attack methods.
"
nHan Jue thought silently.
nIt seemed like he had to be more cautious in the future.
nAfter thinking about it, Han Jue continued to cultivate.
n…
nInside a palace.
nThe elders of the eighteen peaks were gathered here.
n
"Sect Master is not here. We have to investigate the recent rampage in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm,
" an elder said.
nHe was the teaching elder of the Heavenly Thunder Peak, Old Immortal Daoist Thunder.
n
"It's rather fishy. I keep having the feeling that it's related to the Viridescent Nether Cult.
"
n
"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.
"
n
"Could it be that the Cult wants to make use of the beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm?
"
n
"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.
"
n
"Let's send more disciples into the Ten Thousand Demon Realm.
"
nThe elders were all talking at once.
nFairy Xi Xuan sat quietly without interrupting.
nAfter a long discussion, the peaks finally decided to send two more disciples into the Ten Thousand Demon Realm.
nThe elders left. Just as Fairy Xi Xuan was about to leave, Old Immortal Daoist Thunder suddenly called out to her.
nWhen only the two of them were left in the hall, Old Immortal Daoist Thunder asked,
"Junior, why didn't you say anything just now?
"
nFairy Xi Xuan said calmly,
"You can decide on these matters.
"
nOld Immortal Daoist Thunder narrowed his eyes and asked,
"Do you know where the Sect Leader brought those 18 core candidates to?
"
nFairy Xi Xuan didn't reply.
n
"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.
nFairy Xi Xuan replied,
"Of course. After all, we were taught by the same master.
"
nOld Immortal Daoist Thunder smiled in satisfaction.
n…
nTen Thousand Demon Realm.
nIt 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.
nCultivating steadily!
nHe was already halfway to the Golden Core realm.
n
"My young friend, are you using the Ten Thousand Demon Realm as your training ground?
"
nA mocking voice sounded. Han Jue opened his eyes and saw that an old man had appeared at the door.
nThe old man was wearing a coarse cloth robe. He was shaking a wine gourd, and his nose was red from over-drinking.
nHan Jue frowned and asked,
"Who are you?
"
nHe actually didn't sense the old man's approach.
nDangerous!
n
