Cultivating Quietly for a Thousand Years
Chapter 12
Seven Illusory Steps, Ten Thousand Demon Realm
***
The female cultivators walking out of the Salary Building frowned when they saw Mo Zhu holding onto Han Jue's arm.
They all wailed in their hearts.
Han Jue quickly pulled his back and kept his distance from him.
Mo Zhu smiled warmly. "Sister Han, I have something I need your help with."
The side story is here!
Refuse!
Han Jue shook his head and said, "Sorry, I still have to go back and cultivate."
"came on? This is a great opportunity you don't want to miss. Have you heard of ... "Mo Zhu hurriedly said.
He suddenly looked at the female cultivator behind Han Jue and felt that it was uncomfortable to talk here, so he started dragging her away.
"Miss Mo, don't pull me."
“I'm not even afraid as a woman. As a man, how can you be afraid?
“Teacher forbid us to have romantic feelings.”
“Pffft, we've only met twice. Do you think I'll fall in love with you?”
Mo Zhu's face immediately flushed red.
He secretly glanced at her.
Brother Han is indeed handsome. This was the first time he had seen such a handsome man.
If they become friends...
Even Mo Zhu's ears were flushed red.
Han Jue watched his expression and felt that something was amiss.
A danger sign.
He had yet to reach the Golden Core Realm, so he could not have any romantic feelings.
Mo Zhu was beautiful, but he couldn't ruin his dedication to cultivation.
Han Jue immediately took a step to the side and kept a distance of one meter from him, walking side by side.
They both walked into a deserted alley.
“So, what is it?” ask Han Ju.
Mo Zhu looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice, "Brother Han, have you heard of Li Qianlong?"
“Never heard of him.”
"What's? You've never heard of Li Qianlong?”
“Live to the point!”
Han Jue was somewhat frustrated.
Although he was almost fifty years old in this life, he had never left the Jade Pure Sect. He could not even recognize the famous people from the sect, let alone the entire cultivation world.
“Li Qianlong is the most talented individual the Pure Jade Sect has seen in a hundred years. It was said that he was almost at the Soul Formation Realm. His cave residence was located on a huge mountain outside of the Jade Pure Sect. He had uttered many prohibition spells in his cave residence, which kept him hidden. Recently, I received word that his cave residence had appeared. However, he had a ferocious beast guarding him. The beast was afraid of lightning. We are all thunder cultivators. We will definitely be able to conquer it! ” The more Mo Zhu spoke, the more excited he became.
Han Jue asked, "Where is your brother?"
“Inner sect competition ended last year. He was chosen by the Sect Master to be specially prepared, so I couldn't find him.”
Han Jue raised his eyebrows.
Is this over?
It's nonsense.
He had cultivated for too long and had forgotten such a great event. He hoped that Fairy Xi Xuan would not blame him.
"If what you said was true, why didn't the sect leaders personally take this cave residence?" ask Han Ju.
Mo Zhu shrugged and said, “His cave residence is not that important to the sect. However, for us Foundation Establishment Cultivators, this is a great opportunity. ”
Han Jue asked, "How did you know about this?"
“A friend of mine told me. It's not on the mission board.”
That must be a trap!
Definitely not going!
Han Jue immediately refused. "That's too dangerous. I'm not leaving. Let me give you some advice. Don't participate, or you'll die so miserably!”
With that, he turned around and left.
"You..."
Mo Zhu stomped his feet furiously.
However, it had no negative impact on his impression of Han Jue. Instead, he began to doubt.
...
After returning to Jade Serene Peak, Han Jue went to the Jade Serene Hall and knelt at the gate.
The inner sect competition was an important event. If he was the only one who did not go watch from the Jade Serene Peak, he would be in deep trouble.
"Come in, I have something to talk to you about."
Fairy Xi Xuan's voice floated as the door opened.
After entering the hall, Han Jue discovered that Fairy Xi Xuan was not alone. Chang Yue'er and an old man were also present.
Waitaminute!
This old man...
He's the Iron Elder!
Han Jue was stunned but continued moving forward.
Upon seeing it, Elder Iron's face froze in confusion.
“This child is a disciple of the Jade Serene Peak as well? How did this happen!?”
The Iron Elder did not believe.
“This is the new disciple of the Jade Serene Peak. He'll be your junior from now on. You can call him Junior Iron, ” Fairy Xi Xuan said.
Han Jue nodded and looked at Elder Iron. “Junior Iron, if you have any problems in the future, please feel free to look for me.”
Elder Iron gritted his teeth and said, "Han Jue, how did you become an inner sect disciple ?!"
He was surprised to find that he could not see through Han Jue's cultivation.
In just twenty years, Han Jue had surpassed him from an ordinary human?
Fairy Xi Xuan wasn't surprised that they knew each other. Instead, he asked, "Why are you still at the third level of the Foundation Establishment realm?"
The third level of the Foundation Establishment realm!
Elder Iron was even more surprised. He had worked very hard to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, but Han Jue was already at the third level?
Han Jue was afraid that the Iron Elder would sabotage him, so he had to show his value to Fairy Xi Xuan. Thus, he no longer hid his cultivation level. “Master, I'm already at the ninth level of the Natural Establishment Foundation. I just want to keep a low profile, so I hide my cultivation level.”
Elder Iron and Chang Yue'er widened their eyes after hearing that.
"Young! How did you break through so fast? ” Excited Chang Yueer.
He actually watched Han Jue jump from the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
That's too ridiculous!
Han Jue explained, “I have been cultivating in the Thunder Spiritual Pool and dare not slack off. That's why I made such progress.”
Fairy Xi Xuan smiled in satisfaction and said, "If everyone in the Jade Serene Peak works hard like you, the Jade Serene Peak will definitely be the strongest peak of the Pure Jade Sect."
[You don't stand out for cultivating. You have successfully obtained the Fairy Xi Xuan's recognition. You are rewarded with movement technique manuals.]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Seven Illusory Steps.]
Han Jue hid his excitement and quickly said, “Master, you flatter me. I just love to cultivate. That's all."
Elder Iron tried his best to calm himself down.
He knew that he could not suppress Han Jue anymore.
It is best to forget what happened in the past. If she were to tell Fairy Xi Xuan about it, she might not be happy with it.
He suddenly felt nervous.
With Han Jue's cultivation, killing him was as easy as flipping his hand.
Nah!
He must settle this grudge!
"Since you are very fond of cultivating, I will assign you a mission to guard the Ten Thousand Demon Realm of the Pure Jade Sect." Fairy Xi Xuan's smile suddenly turned incomprehensible.
The Ten Thousand Demon Realm...
It sounds awesome and very dangerous!
Han Jue instinctively wanted to refuse, but he still asked carefully, "Master, what is the Ten Thousand Demons Realm?"
Chang Yue'er said excitedly, “This is the place where the Pure Jade Sect nurtures its beasts. Teacher, I want to go too. Let me accompany Junior Han so he won't be disturbed!”
Fairy Xi Xuan glared at him, making him so scared that he did not dare to say anything more.
“Each peak will send a disciple to guard the Ten Thousand Demon Realm. Since there were many types of beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm, the Spirit Qi there was concentrated. This is a very suitable place for you to cultivate, but danger also exists. There are often cases where ferocious beasts go berserk and pupils are brutally killed, ”Fairy Xi Xuan explained to him.
He spoke in a tone that did not allow Han Jue to reject him. But, his silver lining was that it was a good place for him to cultivate.
Fighting a beast is better than fighting with someone else.
Isn't that just being a zookeeper? Alrighty!
"I'll follow Master's arrangements." Han Jue cupped his hands.
Fairy Xi Xuan nodded and said, “Pack and head straight to the Pet Pavilion. Someone will take you to the Ten Thousand Demon Realm. The one previously stationed there was your First Senior. Now that he is under Sect Master, only you can leave. If the mission succeeds, I'll give you a reward. Moreover, you will receive ten top grade spirit stones for each year you guard the Ten Thousand Demons Realm. You can stay there for as long as you want as this is an ongoing sect mission. Before you leave, you can accept the mission in advance. ”
