Chapter 112: Tribulation Transcendence Realm, Ascension
In the inner sect city, inside the inn.
Han Jue saw Xuan Qingjun. This demoness’s face was still the same as before. She wasn’t beautiful, but she wasn’t ugly either. In conclusion, she was ordinary.
Although he was already at the ninth level of the Body Integration Realm, Han Jue was still very nervous when facing her. He kept all his Numinous Treasures active.
At this point, he couldn’t hide it anymore. After all, Xuan s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ knew that he was the Deity Slaying Elder. She might have already spoken to Xuan Qingjun.
“You’re the Deity Slaying Elder of the Jade Pure Sect? You killed Great Sage Green Python?” Xuan Qingjun held the wine cup and asked while swirling it.
Her expression was calm, making it impossible to read her thoughts.
Han Jue nodded slightly.
He panicked internally. He did not understand Xuan Qingjun’s personality and intentions.
Most importantly, he was no match for her in the simulation trial!
This woman was like a completely different person in battle. It was too terrifying!
No wonder she was called the Demon Lord!
“I underestimated you. You were able to kill Great Sage Green Python. Have you reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm?” Xuan Qingjun asked.
She couldn’t see through Han Jue’s cultivation. Under the concealment of the system, Han Jue’s cultivation had always been at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Han Jue shook his head and said, “I just reached the ninth level of the Body Integration Realm.”
Xuan Qingjun finally smiled and clicked her tongue in wonder. “I didn’t expect you to be a rare genius. That’s good. You’re more suitable to be my companion now.”
[Your Dao Companion Xuan Qingjun’s favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 5 stars]
Han Jue secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Xuan Qingjun waved her right hand, and three bottles of pills appeared on the table.
“These are all elixirs suitable for cultivating in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Take them.” Xuan Qingjun chuckled.
Han Jue didn’t stand on ceremony. He took the three bottles of pills and asked, “Did you come for me?”
Xuan Qingjun said, “Yes and no. I’m here for Great Sage Green Python’s matter. This demon has a powerful background. I’m here to avenge him. From now on, if anyone asks, you can’t admit that you killed him. I’ve already killed his murderer, understand?”
Han Jue frowned.
Daoist Jueyan still had connections in the mortal world?
To be able to order the Mahayana Realm Demon Lord to personally take action… This matter was not simple.
As if seeing through Han Jue’s worries, Xuan Qingjun said calmly, “As long as you deny it, I will stop those people. Cultivate well and don’t worry.”
Han Jue nodded.
The atmosphere turned silent.
Xuan Qingjun smiled and stared at Han Jue. He felt awkward and looked elsewhere.
After a while, he couldn’t help but take out the golden wooden staff. “This is Great Sage Green Python’s treasure. I’ll give it to you. This treasure isn’t simple.”
Keeping it would only attract trouble.
Xuan Qingjun raised her eyebrows and smiled. “This treasure is indeed extraordinary. I can take it back and let those people believe that the real murderer is dead.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she placed the golden wooden staff into her storage ring and stood up.
“The world is about to undergo a change. Cultivate well. You’re my Dao Companion. Even if the world is destroyed, I can still protect you.”
Xuan Qingjun walked to the window and prepared to leave.
Han Jue hurriedly asked, “Can I know the name of the person who wants to avenge Great Sage Green Python?”
Xuan Qingjun stopped and glanced at him. “Luo Qiumo.”
She then vanished from the window.
Han Jue used the simulation trial and discovered that she was no longer within a hundred miles of the sect.
She left so quickly!
Han Jue immediately stood up and left.
After returning to the cave abode, he took out the Book of Misfortune and began cursing Luo Qiumo.
…
Three years later.
Han Jue raised his cultivation level to the perfected ninth level of the Body Integration Realm and prepared to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
According to the records of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique, the Heavenly Tribulation of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm lasted several times longer than the Body Integration Realm’s and was also several times more powerful.
He hesitated. The Tribulation Transcendence Realm’s Heavenly Tribulation was definitely terrifying. If he went to the Ten Thousand Demon Realm again, he might destroy it.
Han Jue got up and walked out of the cave abode.
The Black h.e.l.l Chicken, Yang Tiandong, Xun Chang’an, and Murong Qi were still cultivating.
Ever since the battle between Han Jue and Great Sage Green Python ended, the four of them were determined to cultivate diligently and never go out again.
Han Jue didn’t talk to them and went down the mountain directly.
He found a cave abode halfway up the mountain where Li Qingzi lived.
Daoist Nine Cauldrons had yet to return, but Li Qingzi had moved here several years ago.
Upon hearing Han Jue’s voice, Li Qingzi immediately opened the cave abode’s door and invited Han Jue in.
“Sect Master, is there any place nearby suitable for transcending the tribulation? It’s best if there’s no one within a hundred miles.” Han Jue went straight to the point.
Li Qingzi’s eyes lit up.
Transcending the tribulation?
This meant a major breakthrough!
Li Qingzi said in a low voice, “There’s a plain in the east of the sect. Due to the constant rain, there are many poisonous bugs and beasts. Cultivators rarely go there, but you can undergo tribulation there. I’ll bring you there.”
Han Jue nodded. The two of them quickly left the immortal mountain.
Under the Fusang Tree, Murong Qi asked in surprise, “Why did Grandmaster and Sect Master go out?”
The Black h.e.l.l Chicken sitting on the tree branch harrumphed. “He’s definitely about to break through. Master’s cultivation speed is faster than yours even when he’s at a higher cultivation level. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Murong Qi pouted.
“What about you? I feel like you haven’t made any breakthroughs, either.” Yang Tiandong snapped.
The Black h.e.l.l Chicken shouted, “I’m stronger than you!”
“So what?”
“This Master Chicken is stronger than you!”
“You…”
Yang Tiandong was furious. He could only angrily turn around and cultivate with his back facing the chicken. He didn’t want to see its smug face.
The chicken and dog under Master were too annoying!
…
Half a day later, Han Jue and Li Qingzi arrived at a plain covered in rain.
“You can go back first. I need time to transcend the tribulation,” Han Jue said.
Li Qingzi hesitated and then asked, “You don’t need me to protect you?”
“If there’s an enemy that can interfere with my tribulation, can you block it?”
“That makes sense… Goodbye!”
After Li Qingzi left, Han Jue continued flying forward.
The rain continued to pour, and he could see a thick fog on the horizon that stretched as far as the eye could see. The spa.r.s.e trees on the plains were filled with all sorts of poisonous insects. Occasionally, one could see some demonic beasts that had yet to gain human form running on the gra.s.s.
Not long after, Han Jue chose a place and sat in the air. He started to circulate his energy and prepared to transcend the tribulation.
Six hours later, the Heavenly Tribulation had arrived!
With Han Jue’s Numinous Treasures and his own strength, it was almost impossible for him to perish in the Heavenly Tribulation unless someone took the opportunity to ambush him.
Although no one was stronger than him in the Great Yan, he was always worried.
According to some of the cultivation novels he had read, the new plot would begin when the protagonist’s tribulation was disturbed.
A month later, Han Jue successfully transcended the tribulation and entered the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. At the same time, he knew that he was not the scripted protagonist of a novel, like Zhou Fan.
[You have successfully broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. You have the following choices:]
[1: Prepare to ascend. You can go to the Three Realms. You can obtain a Numinous Treasure and a Heavenly Dao Spirit Stone.]
[2: Continue cultivating and break through to the Mahayana Realm. You can obtain a Numinous Treasure and a Mystical Power inheritance.]
Eh?
He could ascend after reaching the Tribulation Transcendence Realm?
Han Jue couldn’t help but think of the Vermilion Bird and Daoist Jueyan.
Those two were still waiting for him in the upper realm. How could he ascend?
