nNuminous treasure?

nHan Jue's eyes lit up.

nHe had heard before that numinous treasures were stronger than usual treasures.

n

"Every time I have a choice to remain low profile. It's probably related to my choice in the beginning.

"

nHan Jue thought silently.

nWhen he started the Game of Life, he chose to cultivate in a low-profile manner and even activated the ability to hide his cultivation.

nPretty good.

nI like this!

nPlaying the pig to eat the tiger!

nNo!

nRemain low profile until I become invincible!

nHan Jue thought happily.

nHe wanted to be the secret cultivation master of the Jade Pure Sect.

nHan Jue couldn't choose the second option directly. He had to wait till the end of the assessment.

nElated, he accelerated towards Tian Zhu Peak.

n…

nAt Tian Zhu Peak.

nDozens of disciples surrounded a battle arena. Mo Fuchou and Mo Zhu also came.

nAs they watched the battle on the stage, Mo Fuchou and Mo Zhu were puzzled.

nHan Jue seemed to be in a stalemate with his opponent. Most of the time, he was defending and dodging, clearly at a disadvantage.

nHis opponent, a disciple of Tian Zhu Peak, was excited.

nTo meet such a weakling in the first round, this is too awesome!

nThe Tian Zhu Peak disciple silently thought to himself. He exerted his spirit energy generously and even maintained a handsome posture during the battle.

nHan Jue was suffering.

nIt was really tiring to act like this.

nHe used the Seven Illusionary Steps to dodge, but he still had to try his best to show that his movement technique wasn't exquisite.

nHe gritted his teeth and persisted.

nAs the two of them fought for longer and longer, the spectating disciples felt bored and left one after another.

nMo Fuchou and Mo Zhu were still watching the battle.

n

"He can't be so weak, can he?

" Mo Zhu couldn't help but ask.

nMo Fuchou said calmly,

"He's doing it on purpose.

"

nAt this moment…

nHan 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.

nIt was over!

nThe three deacons presiding over the battle were stunned.

nTheir attention had already strayed away. They didn't expect it to end so abruptly.

nHan Jue cupped his fists and said,

"Thank you!

"

nHe then walked towards the three deacons below the platform and registered his victory.

nThe Tian Zhu Peak disciple left dejectedly.

nThe Mo siblings immediately came forward.

n

"Brother Han, why didn't you win directly?

" Mo Fuchou asked.

nIn his opinion, Han Jue was the most talented disciple of the Jade Pure Sect.

nHowever, Han Jue kept a low profile, and no one believed his talent.

nHan Jue shook his head and smiled.

"I only found his weakness.

"

nHe then changed the topic.

"How have you been recently, Miss Mo?

"

nIt would have been fine if he hadn't brought it up, but the moment he did, Mo Zhu was infuriated.

n

"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.

"

nMo Zhu cursed angrily.

nHan Jue asked,

"Who is this elder?

"

n

"I'm not sure, either. He left after saving me. Perhaps he's some expert from the Jade Pure Sect.

"

n

"Oh.

"

nThat was the end of the conversation.

nHan Jue bid farewell to the siblings and left quickly.

nMo 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.

"

nMo 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.

"

n

"What's left to life if he always cultivates like that?

"

n

"Everyone pursues different things. He pursues immortality and the Great Dao.

"

n

"I think the two of you are the same kind of people.

"

n

"I'm no match for him.

"

n…

nHan Jue continued practicing the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal once he had returned to his cave abode.

nHe only used Seven Illusionary Steps in the match a while ago, so he was hardly tired.

nIn the following days, the same pattern followed.

nEvery 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.

nBut the reincarnated Mahayana realm cultivator Zhou Fan was the black horse. He continued winning until he reached the top ten.

nThe entire inner sect was discussing him.

nMany 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.

nThe 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.

nThis matter caused an uproar in the inner sect, but Han Jue wasn't interested.

nHe had read too many such plots in novels.

nThat night.

nHan Jue was cultivating the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal in the cave abode.

nHe 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.

nHan Jue could cast this spell within a second.

nMost spells required hand seals to activate the technique. They weren't like purely physical techniques that had no delay.

nBut with more practice, a day would come when the spell could be cast immediately.

nWhoosh—

nThe sound of wind came from outside the cave abode. At first, Han Jue didn't care.

nBut not long after, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

nHe quickly stopped and scanned the surroundings with his divine sense.

nThere was no one in the open space outside the cave, nor were there any beasts or birds.

nUnder the crescent moon, Jade Serene Peak actually looked very sinister.

n

"What's happening?

"

nHan Jue frowned.

nThe trees outside weren't moving, which meant there was no wind. But why could he still hear the wind?

nWas he possessed?

nHan Jue felt a chill down his spine.

nAfter being reborn for decades, this was the first time he encountered such a situation.

nBut if this world had demons and cultivators, ghosts weren't too far-fetched either!

nNervous, Han Jue held his breath.

nIf it was really a ghost, how strong would it be if even Fairy Xi Xuan didn't discover it?

nGhosts, ghosts, please leave… Ghosts, ghosts, please leave…

nHe chanted to himself.

nAt this moment…

nAll of a sudden, he saw wisps of black aura flying into the cave through the crack in the stone gate.

nWhat the hell!

nIt really is a ghost!

nWithout another word, Han Jue raised his hand and executed the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal.

nA 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.

nHan Jue frowned.

nHe felt a powerful repulsive force.

nLogically speaking, the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal should have continued to crash forward, knocking down the stone door.

nHe focused his gaze and saw that the scattered black aura was condensing again.

nHan Jue quickly went up and used the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal again.

nBoom—

nNot enough. Again!

nBoom—

nBoom—

nHan 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.

nThis was still under his precise control. Otherwise, he could have collapsed the entire cave abode with a single palm strike.

n

"Wait! Stop! Stop! Stop!

"

nA wail followed.

nHan Jue frowned and looked down at the black aura.

n

"I'm a Great Grand Elder of the Jade Pure Sect. How dare a disciple like you disrespect me!

"

nThe black aura roared angrily, leaving Han Jue stunned.

nGreat Grand Elder?

nThe black aura quickly condensed into a human form. It was very short, only half a meter tall.

nThis person was emaciated and wore a large white robe. With a head full of white hair, he looked up at him angrily.

nHan Jue said helplessly,

"Sir, what are you trying to do by sneaking into my cave abode in the middle of the night?

"

nThe 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.

"

nAlthough he lectured him, he was actually shocked inside.

nWhat kind of spell was that?

nHe almost killed me!

nHis spirit energy felt like the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm!

nThe Jade Pure Sect's inner sect is already so outstanding?

n
