Chapter 363 Sage’s Attention, Han Jue’s Network

Han Jue spread out his divine sense and quickly arrived in front of Empress Houtu.

Empress Houtu looked at the Nether Race from afar. It was unknown what she was thinking

Previously, Han Jue had only communicated with Empress Houtu with his divine sense. This was the first time he had seen the real deal.

She floated in the void, dressed in a long golden dress. The hem of the dress shimmered with all sorts of stars and was dazzling. She was barefoot and wore a long feather embedded with a mysterious bird. Her facial features were exquisite and beautiful, and there was kindness between her brows. A wheel-shaped halo with a total of six colors floated behind her as it spun slowly. “Empress, do you have something to instruct me?” Han Jue asked. Empress Houtu’s gaze landed on him. She smiled and said, “I want to give you an opportunity.”

Han Jue felt his scalp tingle when he heard the word opportunity.

In the past, so many opportunities that hid deep pits had made him believe that opportunities were equivalent to danger.

“Thank you for your kind intentions, Empress. Forget about the opportunity. I just want to cultivate diligently…” Han Jue braced himself and replied.

Empress Houtu smiled and said, “What are you thinking about? I’ve already brought you the opportunity.”

With a flip of her fair hand, a jade sword appeared in her hand. “This is a Merit Dharma treasure, the Immeasurable Sword. It can absorb Heavenly Dao Merit. As the Nether Race grows stronger, the Heavenly Dao merit you obtain will increase. The merit you can’t digest in time can be stored in this treasure.”

With that said, Empress Houtu threw the Immeasurable Sword out.

The Immeasurable Sword was only 30 centimeters long. Rather than calling it a sword, it was more like a dagger. It was entirely green jade and felt cold to the touch. Han Jue felt relieved and thanked her. “Thank you, Empress!”

Empress Houtu smiled and asked, “How’s the Nether Race?”

Han Jue pulled the Immeasurable Sword into the Connate Cave Abode and replied, “Very high potential. It has the advantages of both the Magus Race and the Human Race. It’s just that it seems…”

Empress Houtu said, “They can’t reproduce, right?”

“Yes.”

“This is their flaw. Therefore, my plan is not to make them the protagonists of the Heavenly Dao. Like the humans, they are to be spread throughout the worlds. I want them to shoulder the responsibility of the immortals and serve all living beings. If they can’t reproduce, it will prevent many conflicts over inheritance.”

“However, other than inheritances, their own cultivation will also involve conflicts of interest. Besides, if they become stronger, they will definitely find a way to have descendants.”

“No, they can’t reproduce because of the Heavenly Dao. They can’t use any method to produce descendants. I sacrificed the future of the Magus Race in exchange for the birth of the Nether Race.”

Han Jue remained silent.

He didn’t believe everything she said.

After all, Diamond Rage and Tu Ling’er were still around. The two of them could find someone else to marry and have children. Sooner or later, they would develop the Magus Race.

“It’s not only the Nether Race. Diamond Rage and Tu Ling’er are the same. They will be cursed by the Heavenly Dao and will never be able to reproduce. The good thing is that they will not be affected by negative karma. From now on, they can openly travel the worlds.” Empress Houtu’s tone was rather helpless.

Han Jue was secretly shocked. How ruthless.

Empress Houtu said, “I acknowledge your potential. Not only me, but there are actually other Sages paying attention to you. You’re a variable. I hope that you can accept the Nether Race. This way, I can focus on managing the cycle of reincarnation.”

Entrusting him with them?

Han Jue frowned.

“One day, you will need to preach the Dao, just like how Ancestor Xitian taught you the Dao of Karma. The more cultivators there are in the Dao of Karma, the stronger he will become. This is a win-win situation. It is very hard to attain the Dao as a lone individual. Of course, after you accept the Nether Race, if you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to look for me,” Empress Houtu said with sincerity.

Han Jue thought silently, “If I accept the Nether Race, will I be controlled by Empress Houtu or the Heavenly Dao?”

(100 million years of lifespan will be deducted. Do you want to continue?]

Previously, when he asked, his lifespan had not been deducted. Could it be that it did not involve the karma of the future?

Han Jue had no choice but to continue.

Another hundred million was used.

[No]

It was worth a hundred million!

Han Jue heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Empress Houtu didn’t plot against him.

He immediately replied, “In that case, leave the Nether Race to me!”

[Empress Houtu’s favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 4.5 stars]

Empress Houtu smiled and said, “Not bad. In the future, you will understand that I’m not harming you.”

With that, her aura vanished.

Han Jue looked at the Nether Race and directly used his divine sense to move them into the Hidden Sect Island.

The Hidden Sect Island was very
