Chapter 337 - Upgrade of the Dao Field, Sect Master of the Human School

Chapter 337 Upgrade of the Dao Field, Sect Master of the Human School

“What opportunity? I’m relieved to see that you’re fine.”

Han Jue shook his head and smiled.

Zhang Guxing smiled and said, “This opportunity is not simple. It can allow one to directly enter the Deity Realm.”

Eh?

This sounded familiar.

Dao Sovereign seemed to have said that.

Han Jue shook his head and said, “There’s no need. The Immeasurable Calamity is ahead. Being too eager for quick success will easily cause me to enter the calamity.”

Zhang Guxing wasn’t surprised. He had already expected this situation.

“This opportunity is not dangerous. It’s located in the void and is closely related to the Sword Dao River. You’re the Sword Dao River’s guardian. Obtaining this opportunity will be smooth sailing,” Zhang Guxing said seriously.

Han Jue understood what he meant. “In that case, I’ll return the Sword Dao River to you. You should take this opportunity. I’m still far from the Deity Realm, anyway.”

To be honest, the Sword Dao River was a burden to him.

Although Liu Bei had gotten to know many geniuses of the Sword Dao through the Sword Dao River, it was useless. He only knew them.

If he wanted to build a network, he had to pay the price first. However, Liu Bei was also cowardly and never tried.

Zhang Guxing glared at him. “Are you that afraid? You don’t even trust me?”

Han Jue shook his head. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but danger is never something we can avoid just because we want to. What I can do is try my best to avoid the possibility of encountering it.”

Zhang Guxing was silent.

Han Jue remained silent.

Liu Bei stared at them in silence.

After a while.

Zhang Guxing said, “Forget it, I won’t force you. Other than that, there’s something else I have to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Regarding the Sword Dao River, this river was born when the Sword Dao obtained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao. After a long period of evolution, it has already become the path that a sword cultivator must take. The first guardian is the first sword cultivator of the Heavenly Dao. He’s actually still alive and is very strong. If you can protect the Sword Dao River from being destroyed in this calamity, you will obtain his recognition.”

Three lines of words appeared in front of Han Jue.

[Detected that you are facing the mission to guard the Sword Dao River. You have the following choices:]

(1: Accept this mission and say that you will do your best to protect the Sword Dao River. You can obtain a Supreme Treasure and a Great Dao Fragment.]

[2: Reject this mission and you will obtain the hatred of the first sword cultivator in the Heavenly Dao. You can obtain a Great Dao Fragment and a chance to level up the Dao Field.)

Han Jue raised his eyebrows.

Obtain the hatred of the first sword cultivator in the Heavenly Dao?

A chance to upgrade the Dao Field…

These two… Now, the Dao Field could already prevent the divine sense of a Zenith Heaven from prying. After upgrading, would it be able to prevent the divine sense above the Zenith Heaven Realm from spying? However, Han Jue couldn’t be sure how strong the number one sword cultivator of the Heavenly Dao was.

Han Jue pretended to be curious and asked, “The first sword cultivator of the Heavenly Dao lives in the 33 Layered Heavens?”

Zhang Guxing shook his head. “He’s at the Deity Realm of the Ruins of End.”

Oh.

From the looks of it, he wasn’t as strong as Ancestor Xitian.

Han Jue said seriously, “Brother, since you know him, why don’t you take over the Sword Dao River? I really can’t. I’m too timid. Besides, I’m from the Heavenly Court. We’re in trouble. If I continue to be the guardian, I’m afraid I’ll cause trouble for the Sword Dao River. You should do it.”

Zhang Guxing narrowed his eyes. “Are you rejecting it?”

Han Jue smiled bitterly. “Brother, I really can’t. If it was during a peaceful period, I would definitely help. But now, it’s the Immeasurable Calamity. Besides, the position of guardian isn’t what I wanted. I was forced by you. After you were captured, I’ve been trembling in fear. I think I’ve already done my best to return the Sword Dao River to you unscathed.”

(You reject this mission and obtain a Great Dao Fragment and a chance to level up the Dao Field.]

[Your Dao Field has begun to upgrade.]

Han Jue was nervous.

Could that mighty figure really hate him?

(Li Muyi has developed hatred towards you. Current Hatred Points: 1 star.]

It was only at the one-star level!

He had made the right bet!

Han Jue felt that it was impossible for the mighty figure to kill him because of this.

Zhang Guxing said helplessly, “Forget it. In that case, hand over the Sword Dao River.”

Han Jue nodded.

This was a good thing. He could bring Liu Bei back and increase the combat strength of Hidden Sect Island.

After returning to Hidden Sect Island, Han Jue introduced Liu Bei to the disciples. He didn’t reveal Liu Bei’s true identity.

The addition of the Rank Six Immortal Emperor excited the disciples.

However, the Black Hell Demon Lord had a strange expression.

He could tell that Liu Bei’s body was the Buddhist Sect’s Victorious Fighting Buddha.

It was said that the Victorious Fighting Buddha had been attacked by someone and had died in the void of the mortal world. Could it be that he had faked his death and changed allegiance to the Hidden Sect?

It was very likely!

The Victorious Fighting Buddha and the Buddhist Sect had a long history. Legend had it that the Victorious Fighting Buddha and the Buddhist Sect did not get along because he liked to fight and went against the peace advocated by the sect.

The Black Hell Demon Lord didn’t dare to think too much. He knew that there were some things that he couldn’t expose.

Even if Han Jue’s attitude was good towards him, he didn’t dare to overstep the line.

He had experienced Han Jue’s ruthlessness before. He attacked immediately and didn’t give the enemy any chance.

After returning to the cave abode, Han Jue finally had the time to check Li Muyi’s information.

[Li Muyi: Cultivation unknown. Transcendent Dao Expert, Sect Master of the Human School, creator of the Sword Dao. His existence is untraceable. Because you refused to protect the Sword Dao River, his impression of you has worsened. He thinks that your personality is not worthy of being a sword cultivator. Current Hatred Points: 1 star.]

Gasp

Transcendent Dao Expert!

An existence on the same level as the Ancestor Xitian?

Furthermore, he was the Sect Master of the Human School. Wasn’t he Li Daokong and Li Xuan’ao’s master?

Han Jue was shocked.

Fortunately, it was only one star of hatred.

If I’m not worthy of being a sword cultivator, so be it. I don’t care as long as you don’t target me. Han Jue thought silently.

He began to look forward to the upgraded Dao Field.

However, the time needed to level up was longer than he had expected.

Ten years later.

The Dao Field had yet to be successfully upgraded, but the Immortal Qi of Hidden Sect Island kept increasing.

Han Jue didn’t care about Immortal Qi. What he looked forward to was the Dao Field’s defensive power.

Ten years passed.

Han Jue took out the Book of Misfortune and cursed the enemy, then habitually checked his emails.

(Your good friend Ji Xianshen was attacked by the Demon Race’s Immortal Emperor and was severely injured. He accidentally fused with the demonic path’s killing intent and his cultivation increased greatly.]

(Your grand-disciple Fang Liang was attacked by a Demon Immortal Emperor and was severely injured. He used an Ancient Forbidden Technique and forcefully broke through his limits.]

(Your good friend Jiang Yi was cursed by a mysterious curse.]

(Your good friend Empress Houtu discussed the Dao with a mighty figure and comprehended the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao.]

(Your good friend Zhou Fan has joined the Divine Palace and became the person facing the calamity.)

(Your good friend Li Daokong was attacked by a mysterious mighty figure.] (Your good friend Huang Jihao has joined the Human School and obtained its providence. His cultivation has increased greatly.]

…

Eh?

Ji Xianshen and Fang Liang had walked together?

Beaten up together? Went beyond the limits together?

Han Jue frowned. He was a little unhappy.

It was fine if it was Ji Xianshen, as he was not from the Hidden Sect.

Why was Fang Liang also becoming reckless?

When this kid returned, he had to teach him a lesson!

Han Jue didn’t want to be implicated by his grand-disciple and be forced into danger.
