Chapter 301 Spirit of the Divine Tree, Story of the Buddhist Sect
Connate providence? Han Jue raised his eyebrows. Was another strong enemy attacking?
Strange, he didn’t sense the aura of a powerful enemy.
He immediately chose to check.
(Fusang Tree: Early-stage Grand Unity Mystic Immortal Realm, Ancient Divine Tree. It contains the rules of s.p.a.ce and time. After being nurtured by an Immortal Emperor all year round, it has absorbed the essence of the world and the Qi of Yin and Yang. Its intelligence has finally matured.]
So it was the Fusang Tree! Han Jue was shocked. He thought that there was another enemy attack.
To be able to become a Connate providence bearer in the system’s setting. That meant that the Fusang Tree had at least the potential of an Immortal Emperor!
He immediately moved to the Fusang Tree. On the tree, Ah Da, Xiao Er, and the Black h.e.l.l Chicken were still cultivating and did not sense anything unusual about it.
Han Jue probed the Fusang Tree with his divine sense and communicated with it.
The Fusang Tree was very nervous, but it didn’t reject him.
After all, it was a powerful primordial divine tree. During the nurturing of its intelligence, it had already grasped the language of mortals and could communicate with humans.
After some communication, the Fusang Tree acknowledged Han Jue as its master without any resistance.
The Fusang Tree couldn’t gain human form immediately. It needed to reach a higher realm before it could transform.
“Alright, say h.e.l.lo to everyone.”
Han Jue suddenly smiled and woke everyone up.
Who?
The disciples looked around curiously.
The Fusang Tree began to shake and let out a childish voice, “h.e.l.lo, everyone. I’m the Fusang Tree. Please take care of me in the future… Please don’t lie on me anymore.” The Black h.e.l.l Chicken, Ah Da, and Xiao Er were all shocked and jumped out.
“The Fusang Tree has become a spirit?” Zhou Mingyue exclaimed.
Xun Chang’an was very calm as if he had expected this.
The others gathered around and asked.
Han Jue didn’t partic.i.p.ate anymore and returned to the Connate Cave Abode to continue cultivating.
It was a good thing that the Fusang Tree had become a spirit. Although it had yet to transform, it could at least protect Hidden Sect Island in the future.
For a time, Hidden Sect Island became lively again.
After cultivating for five years, Han Jue jumped out of the netherworld and went to fetch the mighty figures that the White-Robed Buddha contacted.
He had left the Six Paths Insignia in the void where the Reroll World was previously. It was still very easy to find.
In the void, more than a thousand cultivators gathered, all from the Immortal World. They were all very nervous.
“Why isn’t the mortal world guardian here yet?”
“Tsk tsk, he really moved an entire world away.”
“Chi Yunxian is already so strong?”
“It’s not Chi Yunxian. He has long perished. There’s a new guardian of the mortal world now. He’s very mysterious.”
“Sigh, I didn’t expect that our generation would encounter the Immeasurable Calamity. We’re really unlucky!”
The cultivators discussed and were very curious about Han Jue.
After a long while…
Han Jue finally appeared. At first, no one took him seriously and thought that he was the same as them.
Han Jue had no choice but to unleash his Immortal Emperor aura and suppress the void. Everyone turned to look at him.
“Is there anyone else?” Han Jue asked as he scanned the cultivators present. The highest cultivation level was only a Grand Unity Mystic Immortal. There wasn’t even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Han Jue was disappointed. But on second thought, it was very difficult to reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm. Such a person could even be placed in an important position in the Heavenly Court.
No one replied to Han Jue, so he couldn’t be bothered to wait any longer. He directly waved his sleeve and sucked all the people into the Reroll World. The White-Robed Buddha would receive them later.
He turned around and left.
After leaving Hidden Sect Island, Han Jue felt very insecure and wanted to return as soon as possible.
Wait!
A familiar voice sounded.
Han Jue turned around and saw Jiang Yi flying over with the True Sun Flame.
Han Jue was vigilant. Was Jiang Yi going to avenge the Great Freedom Golden Crow Divine Emperor?
No, these two had a grudge, to begin with.
Han Jue asked, “Why are you here?” Jiang Yi said angrily, “I came to find you. I have something joyous to tell you. I didn’t expect you to not be here. Fortunately, a group of mortals was waiting for you.”
“What joyous occasion?”
“The Great Freedom Golden Crow Divine Emperor who hunted you is dead!”
“What? Really?”
Han Jue was overjoyed and had an unbelieving expression.
Jiang Yi was in a good mood and smiled. “I used a lot of effort. When I learned that you were being hunted down by him, I went to find him, but he didn’t want to stop.”
So that’s why you were almost beaten to death?
Han Jue ridiculed him in his heart, but on the surface, he said gratefully, “Thank you, fellow Daoist!”
Jiang Yi waved his hand. “There’s no need for that. I came to find you for another matter. Have you been hiding in the netherworld recently? I’m going to the netherworld to do something. Can you help me?”
“What is it? Go ahead!”
“The Ancestral Magus Tower. My Golden Crow Divine Clan wants to find this item. If you can help me find it, I won’t disappoint you with the reward.”
“I really don’t know.”
Jiang Yi frowned. “You can help me investigate. I don’t want to go straight to the netherworld. I want to challenge the prodigies to fight for providence.”
“Alright, I’ll help you.”
“Yes, I’ll rely on this in the future.”
Jiang Yi took out a token and gave it to Han Jue. The token was engraved with the portrait of a Golden Crow.
He would call it the Golden Crow Token for the time being.
Han Jue took it and was about to leave.
“Wait, can you tell me another story?” Jiang Yi stopped him and chuckled.
So this was the main point, after all?
Han Jue cursed silently. Then, he suddenly had a bold thought.
Good opportunity!
Han Jue said seriously, “It’s not good to tell a story here. I’m afraid that others will hear it and cause unnecessary trouble.”
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows in joy. He wanted to hear a realistic story. He immediately took out a divine jade and threw it above his head. The jade shone and covered the two of them.
Han Jue sat cross-legged and meditated. Then, he said, “Legend had it that Pangu split the heavens and his body transformed into the Primordial World. Outside the Primordial World, there were actually living beings. They were called the Chaotic Fiendcelestials. When the Primordial World was evolving, the Chaotic Fiendcelestials had been spying on it. However, the Heavenly Dao blocked them outside, preventing them from invading the Primordial World. With the eruption of the Immeasurable Calamity, the Primordial World was constantly ravaged. The Chaotic Fiendcelestials finally had a chance.
“One of the Fiendcelestials found an opportunity to infiltrate the Primordial World and occupied the body of a Buddha from West Heaven. In order to let himself adapt to the Buddha’s body, he hid his ident.i.ty…”
Jiang Yi frowned. Was this a story of the Buddhist Sect?
The matter of the Buddhist Sect’s Devil Heart was not a secret, but everyone in the Immortal World believed that it was a domineering method used by the Buddhist Sect to control their disciples.
Could it be that the truth was not so?
Han Jue continued to fabricate the story.
“The Immeasurable Calamity erupted and the world was in chaos. The Buddhist Sect always took action when others were in danger. It seemed to be for the peace of the world, but they were actually stirring up trouble and made the calamity even more chaotic.”
Han Jue became more and more excited as he spoke, and he almost couldn’t stop the fabrication.
“In the end, the Buddhist Sect won and became the overlord who saved all living beings in the world. The providence of the Heavenly Dao landed on that Chaotic Fiendcelestial, and he used his great Dharmic powers to open the Heavenly Dao barrier and attracted countless Chaotic Fiendcelestials to invade the Primordial World and destroy all living beings.” Han Jue finished and smiled. “This is purely a fictional story. Don’t take it seriously.”
Jiang Yi snorted. “What’s the point? It has nothing to do with my Golden Crow Divine Clan.”
“The Golden Crow Divine Clan is too low profile. They don’t have many stories in the mortal world.”
“Hmph.”
“Alright, that’s all. I’ll be leaving first. Don’t spread this story, lest it makes me look like I’m defaming the Buddhist Sect.”
“Got it.”
Jiang Yi waved his hand impatiently, and Han Jue quickly left. After he left, Jiang Yi’s expression darkened.
