Chapter 388 - Heaven Defying Rise, Unforgivable! (1/2)

“Thank you, Sect Master. If I survive this calamity, I will definitely return to accompany you on the Great Dao. Without your permission, I will never ask to leave again!” Duan Hongchen said excitedly and immediately kowtowed to Han Jue a few times.

Han Jue said, “It’s your fate, after all. If you still feel that you belong to the Hidden Sect, you can return at any time. However, don’t think that I will save you and help you. At least during the calamity, I won’t make a move. This is a form of responsibility towards me and the entire Hidden Sect.”

Duan Hongchen nodded heavily. “I understand. Actually, I’m also doing very well in the Hidden Sect. You have never mistreated me. I’ve always been grateful, so I never caused trouble for the Hidden Sect. If I fight for great providence in the future, I will definitely repay the Hidden Sect.”

Han Jue closed his eyes and waved his sleeve, signaling that he could leave.

Duan Hongchen stood up and bowed before leaving

Han Jue didn’t teach him the Invocation Technique. Although he already had a six-star favorability towards him, Han Jue’s own favorability towards him was limited, let alone this fellow who was facing the calamity.

Most likely, Duan Hongchen would die in the calamity.

With so many people facing the calamity, how many people could survive?

Han Jue couldn’t help but worry about the Heavenly Emperor, Ji Xianshen, Fang Liang, Zhou Fan, and the others.

Many of his good friends had become people facing the calamity. He estimated that a few of them would die. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense.

Han Jue hoped that they would all live. If they really died, he could only mourn.

With Han Jue’s current cultivation, it was impossible for him to risk his life for others. Even the Heavenly Emperor was the same!

Although the Heavenly Emperor treated him very well, Han Jue would only help him if his life was not threatened. If it was a decision between his life and the Heavenly Emperor, Han Jue would only choose himself.

It was the same no matter who replaced the Heavenly Emperor! If he died, what was the point of all this?

In the long years of cultivation, Han Jue had always been vigilant against himself. He couldn’t forget his original intention.

Perhaps when he reached the end of his cultivation, he would be able to do as he wished, including making up for his past regrets.

Duan Hongchen’s departure caused quite a commotion in the Hidden Sect. After all, having interacted for so long, everyone still had feelings for each other. Therefore, they began to discuss the people facing the calamity. As the Supreme Buddha, Chu Shiren knew the most and explained to everyone what a person meant to face the calamity was.

Han Jue didn’t pay attention to what they were talking about and focused on cultivating.

This was life. Some had to come and go.

Han Jue focused on cultivating. His goal was the Zenith Heaven Realm.

The Four Mystic Divine Origin was indeed half a step away from the Zenith Heaven Realm.

Time passed quickly. Forty years passed in a flash.

During this period, Xing Hongxuan used the Invocation Technique to summon him once. After half a year of exercise, Han Jue finally returned.

It wasn’t torture. To Han Jue, it was a rare form of relaxation.

Xing Hongxuan always had a way to please him. She was always passionate towards him. Han Jue had no choice but to teach her a Mystical Power and help her become stronger.

This was how affection should be. Both parties had to be willing. If there was always a one-sided effort, it would be wrong and unfair to the other party.

On this day.

Han Jue stopped cultivating and took out the Book of Misfortune to curse Li Xuan’ao for fun.

Then, he checked his emails.

(Your good friend Duan Hongchen has joined the Darkness Sect. His providence has increased greatly.] [Your good friend Heavenly Emperor was cursed by a mysterious curse.]

(Because of your good friend Xue Minghe’s curse, your disciple Long Hao has been plagued by bad luck and developed mental demons.]

(Your good friend Zhou Fan broke through in the face of death and comprehended the Great Dao of Slaughter, reaching the Emperor Realm.]

(Your good friend Li Daokong was cursed by a mysterious curse. Because he has a Supreme Treasure, he is not affected.]

[Your good friend Di Lantian was attacked by your good friend Li Daokong and was severely injured.)
