Chapter 1250: They Are Not Decent at All!

"D*mn! After careful consideration, I think I don't need to hesitate anymore! Just fight on by undervaluing life and death! Anyway, this is not the first time we have taken a risk. There is nothing to be afraid of! Attack!" Xu Que roared as he punched the lake surface heavily. After being toughened for five months, he could resist the bounce-back force of the lake now. His attack was also faster than before.
Buttface and Duan Jiude were not surprised by Xu Que's decision. They smiled and continued to punch the lake surface. Although they were cowardly, they would follow Xu Que to do anything Xu Que wanted to do. After all, the three of them had always been reckless and lawless. And none of them had changed no matter whether they were in the Four Great Continents, the Xuanzhen Continent, or the Heaven Continent. Mo Junchen also looked at Xu Que with a smile. Then he continued to punch the lake surface.
In fact, Xu Que didn't know what to do in the Heaven Continent. He made up his mind because he remembered what had happened to him in the past. Compared to many people, his way of cultivation was much easier. However, he managed to survive many times when his life was endangered. How could he be so cowardly when he was much more powerful than before? This is not my way! Therefore, Xu Que thought he shouldn't change his mind. He should act recklessly in the Heaven Continent just as he did in other worlds. It was beneath his dignity to act like a coward.
Zixia Fairy was a very powerful cultivator. Xu Que survived after offending her. Xuanyuan Wanrong was even more horrible. He didn't know her Cultivation Stage even now. He believed she could kill Mo Junchen without opening her eyes. However, Xu Que also managed to survive after offending her. So, Xu Que believed cultivators on the Heaven Continent wouldn't be more horrible than Xuanyuan Wanrong. Why should he be intimidated by them?
…..
One month later, they found themselves in Snow Fog City in the Eastern Heaven Realm of the Heaven Continent. It was a city built on a mountainside, which was always wrapped by cloud and mist. This city was famous for its cold weather and occasional snow. The cultivators who were qualified to live in this city were extraordinary. Snow Fog City was a good place for cultivators of the Sage Sect to perform cultivation. Elite apprentices who had earned a place through all kinds of competitions and contests would be sent to this city to perform cultivation annually.
At this time, a group of new apprentices who were led by several deacons at the Golden Celestial Stage were sent to Snow Fog City from afar. When they arrived at Snow Fog City, they looked up and saw a waterfall on the mountain where the water fell into the city and formed a river. The river was called the Holy Water River, which was full of pure Celestial Core Power. The entire city was wrapped in the fog created by that river. This was the first time for many apprentices to come to this place. Most of them were impressed by this scene.
"Is this the Holy Water River of the Sage Sect? It is so extraordinary as expected!"
"It is said that each elite apprentice would reach the next level after performing cultivation for 50 years in this city. In other words, as cultivators at the Earth Celestial Stage, we will reach the Heaven Celestial Stage when we leave here after 50 years!"
"Hah, hah, it is well worth the place we earned with innumerable hardships!"
Many apprentices were talking about this city excitedly. A deacon at the Golden Celestial Stage turned around and said as he looked at those apprentices indifferently, "Okay, from now on, you should focus on cultivation in this place, and you can leave here after 50 years. Remember, you shall stay in Snow Fog City. Never try to go up the mountain. There is a holy lake at the upper stream of the Holy Water River, which can only be used by the sect leader!"
"Understood!" The apprentices all replied at the same time. In fact, none of them dared to go up the mountain even if the deacon didn't remind them. Long ago, some reckless apprentices tried to enjoy the holy lake where the Celestial Core Power was even more intense. However, the mountain was full of horrible restrictive spells, which cut all those reckless apprentices into small pieces. Then they became the food of the Golden Wing Snow Eagles raised by the Sage Sect on the mountain. Since then, nobody dared to go up the mountain.
"Okay! You can perform cultivation near the Holy Water River. And you can drink the water of the Holy Water Riveronly three times per day. Remember, only three times. Additional intake will only damage you." The deacon at the Golden Celestial Stage said as he looked at the apprentices with a poker face and great momentum. Those apprentices nodded their heads. Then the deacon continued saying, "I will tell you how to obtain water from the Holy Water River. You, come here!" The deacon said as he pointed at one apprentice at the Earth Celestial Stage. That apprentice stepped out and walked up to the deacon immediately. With the guidance of the deacon, he made a small cup with his Celestial Core Power. Then he obtained water from the river with that cup.
"The water of the holy lake, which flows to this place from the top of the mountain, is diluted by many restrictive spells. Additional Celestial Core Power will fly away in the waterfall. The rest of the Celestial Core Power is enough for your daily cultivation. Restrictive spells are also added to the water. This is the only way to obtain it. So, you should remember and skillfully master the way I showed you! Okay, you can obtain your water now!" After saying that, the deacon at the Golden Celestial Stage waved his hand at the apprentices, so that they could obtain the holy water for the first time for today.
…..
At the same time, the void was distorted at the top of a mountain, which was covered by ice and snow as if a piece of paper had been torn apart. Suddenly, several figures stepped out from it. They were led by a handsome, gentle young man who said in surprise when he looked around, "Is this the Heaven Continent? I didn't expect the Celestial Core Power would be so dense here!"
"Wait! It seems this is an extraordinary place. Normally, the Celestial Core Power in the Heaven Continent wouldn't be so dense!" A dog said as it looked around in surprise.
Apparently, these people were Xu Que and his teammates. They had managed to reach the Heaven Continent by breaking the surface of the Mirror Lake successfully. Now, they had descended in this place.
"Guardian Mo, do you know this place?" Xu Que looked at Mo Junchen for he was the only one who knew the Mirror Lake. However, Mo Junchen also shook his head with puzzlement, "No, I don't know this place. I used to arrive at the Heaven Continent from the Mirror Lake. But someone told me the landing place was random, which means it will open a hole in the void of the Heaven Continent randomly. So, I have no idea about this place. However, the Celestial Core Power is so dense here! We are…so lucky!"
Right! This was the first time for Mo Junchen to see a place with so much dense Celestial Core Power. He was quite excited for he thought he might need 5,000 to 6,000 years to realize a breakthrough in his cultivation if he performed secluded cultivation in a place where the Celestial Core Power was densest in the Earth Continent. Now, he believed he would become a Taiyi Celestial from the Golden Celestial Stage if he performed secluded cultivation in this place for only 1,000 years.
"Hmm, I suggest we set up the branch of the Exploding Heavens Faction in this place!" Xu Que said with a smile.
Mo Junchen said with a wry smile, "Faction Leader, this place is full of restrictive spells. I guess it belongs to somebody!"
"So what? The Exploding Heavens Faction will take…Ahem, the Exploding Heavens Faction represents a just cause and maintains world peace. It is quite normal for us to requisition this place!" Buttface replied immediately.
"Right! We have every reason to do that!" Duan Jiude nodded his head.
Whoosh!
When Mo Junchen twitched his lips and was about to say something, Buttface dashed to the edge of the waterfall. Xu Que, Duan Jiude, and Mo Junchen were surprised. Did Buttface find something? They walked up to check what was happening.
"D*mn! What are you looking at? I am taking a p*ss! How rude you are!" Buttface turned around and shouted immediately. Xu Que, Duan Jiude, and Mo Junchen were totally embarrassed for they didn't expect Buttface would take a piss at the top of a waterfall. This dog was rude and had no sense of environmental protection!
Wait! I really want to know the feeling of taking a piss at the top of a waterfall! Xu Que's eyes lit up, and he walked up, putting his hands on his trouser belt eagerly.
"Little brat, what are you going to do?" Duan Jiude asked immediately.
"Pee!" Xu Que replied without turning around.
"Holy sh*t! That's also what I need to do now!" Duan Jiude also walked up as he turned around and said to Mo Junchen, "Guardian Mo, do you want to join us?"
"Eh, no, thanks, I don't need to do that now!" Mo Junchen waved his hands with embarrassment. He was totally embarrassed when he saw the three of them peeing at the top of the waterfall. Now Mo Junchen was again doubting whether he had been fooled by them. From the weird behaviors of the three of them, Mo Junchen believed they were not decent at all!

"What?"
"The smell of…the holy water is quite weird!"
"It tastes terrible!"
Many apprentices of the Sage Sect were drinking the water of the Holy Water River with cups created by their Celestial Core Power. Suddenly, all of them frowned. It seemed the taste of the water was not as good as they had expected!
"Wait! This tastes like urine!" An apprentice yelled, his eyes wide in surprise. The other people fixed their eyes on him, puzzled. Several deacons at the Golden Celestial Stage glared at him. The apprentice realized he had said something inappropriate by describing the holy water as urine in front of the deacons. How reckless he was!
Flop!
Instantly, the apprentice dropped on his knees and said with dread, "What I said is wrong! Please forgive my mistake!"
"Humph! How ignorant you are!" One deacon snorted and ignored the apprentice. He looked at the Holy Water River and said calmly, "The holy water comes from the Snow Fog Mountain. After prolonged sedimentation, it tastes very ancient. You need to taste it carefully. The way you are drinking it is a reckless waste of grain!"
"What you said is correct! I know nothing about ancient waters. What I said just now was a slip of the tongue!" That apprentice replied, as he smiled wryly to himself. The holy water he drank just now really tasted like urine. However, it also tasted ancient.
"OK. Now, you can start your cultivation here. We will activate the restrictive spell after leaving here. After 50 years, we will come here to send you away." After saying that, the deacons at the Golden Celestial Stage turned around and left. The apprentices followed them with their eyes reverently. Then they sat down beside the Holy Water River with their legs crossed to start their cultivation. 50 years could be deemed as a long period. However, to perform cultivation beside the Holy Water River was a precious opportunity for them. None of them wanted to waste even one second here.
…..
At this moment, the mountaintop outside of Snow Fog City was covered in snow. Three people and one dog were standing outside an ice palace. The palace hadn't shown up at the beginning. When they walked up along the waterfall, this ice palace appeared in front of them suddenly. It was a cloaking Array, which was not very masterfully done. Anyone who walked along the river would be able to go into the Array and find the palace.
"Little brat, most Celestial Core Power in this area comes from this palace!" Buttface said with a smile as he looked at this majestic palace. Everyone knew the dense Celestial Core Power came from that waterfall. Ordinary water would never give off Celestial Core Power. Apparently, the water in the waterfall was the origin. The waterfall originated from this palace, which meant something precious was hidden in it.
"Isn't it inappropriate for us to break into this palace? After all, it belongs to somebody!" Mo Junchen said hesitantly at this time. He was not a pedantic man who was particular about etiquette and justice. The thing that worried him was that they were about to break into a majestic palace in the Heaven Continent. This palace could have been built by a big shot who was much more powerful than him. Even if the big shot was not in the palace, they would have to pay a price for their intrusion in the future.
"Guardian Mo, you are wrong! The Exploding Heavens Faction represents a just cause and maintains world peace. It is quite normal for us to requisition this palace. I believe the owner of the palace will understand us!" Buttface lied through his teeth.
Mo Junchen ignored Buttface and turned to Xu Que. He was waiting for Xu Que's decision. However, Xu Que was in a daze at this moment for this palace was so familiar to him. He had seen this palace under the Celestial Burial Valley in the Four Great Continents. The woman who was lying in an ice coffin had been placed in a palace. That palace was almost identical with this one, except for a very few differences in details. Besides the similar appearance, Xu Que could also sense a faint but familiar aura in this palace, which seemed like it came from Xuanyuan Wanrong! Apparently, that woman must have stayed here for a long time. However, she had left this place long ago. That was why her aura was so faint at this moment.
"Little brat, say something, why are you in a daze?" Buttface shouted at this moment. Duan Jiude squinted his eyes and said as he smiled at Xu Que, "This palace is majestic. But I didn't think it would stun you for so long a time!"
"Right! Today, I will definitely go into this palace and have a look!" Buttface said resolutely. Nobody could stop him from obtaining precious items in this palace.
"Hey!" Xu Que touched his nose and said with a thoughtful smile, "Do you remember the Celestial Burial Valley?"
"The Celestial Burial Valley? What…do you want to say?" Buttface and Duan Jiude were stunned, for that horrible woman could still make them shudder with fear. Although they had never asked Xu Que how he had managed to escape, they didn't dare to underestimate that woman because they knew she was extremely powerful. But why did Xu Que mention the things that happened in the Celestial Burial Valley? Buttface and Duan Jiude looked at Xu Que with puzzlement.
Xu Que said with a smile as he pointed at the palace, "I saw a similar palace under the Celestial Burial Valley. That awful woman was sleeping in it. Now, I also sense a strand of aura of that woman when I stand outside this palace. Apparently, this place might also belong to her!" After saying that, Xu Que smiled even harder. If this place belonged to Xuanyuan Wanrong, it would be totally safe for him to enter. After all, according to the rule of the Taiyi Heaven Book, when Xuanyuan Wanrong wrote down her name and Xu Que's name in it, they had become cultivation companions. It was quite appropriate for him to take anything from the home of his cultivation companion.
"What?"
"Holy sh*t! Is…this the home of that woman?"
Buttface and Duan Jiude's expressions changed. Apparently, that horrible woman had left psychological shadows in their hearts. When they had reached the Heaven Continent, they still felt frightened. They had met many powerhouses in the Heaven Continent in the past several years. However, they had never met anyone who was as powerful as her!
"Yes, it is highly possible! Well, do you have any ideas?" Xu Que asked with great interest.
"Ideas? No! I don't want to have any ideas about her for the rest of my life! I think what Guardian Mo said was right. This place belongs to somebody, and we can't break into it!" Buttface changed his mind and refused to enter the palace resolutely. Duan Jiude also nodded his head. No matter how reckless they were normally, they knew they couldn't afford to offend that woman.
Mo Junchen was totally confused for he didn't know the woman and the Celestial Burial Valley mentioned by Buttface and Duan Jiude at all. However, he figured out that they had been totally intimidated by that woman according to the change in their attitudes. Now, Mo Junchen became more curious. When Buttface and Duan Jiude met him for the first time, they didn't take him, a cultivator at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage, seriously. Now, they were totally intimidated by the owner of this palace, which meant this owner must be very powerful and mysterious!
"Hey! I didn't expect the two of you could be intimidated by someone! Don't worry! That woman won't come out now. She will stay in her coffin for at least several hundred years! This place is totally safe for us!" Xu Que said with a smile. When he was about to walk forward, an idea occurred to him. He stopped and turned to Buttface and Duan Jiude and asked, furrowing his eyebrows, "Wait! Do you still remember the name of the woman's sect mentioned by her when she was about to accept me as her apprentice?"
Chapter 1252: Isn't it Annoying?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing that, Buttface and Duan Jiude were stunned. Then they started to recall their time in the presence of Xuanyuan Wanrong. However, their memories about Xuanyuan Wanrong's words were not as clear as Xu Que's. At the same time, Xu Que opened the System package and started to search for something in it rapidly. After several seconds, he fixed his eyes on an object. Got you!
Whoosh! Xu Que waved his hand, and suddenly an ancient plate appeared in it. On the front of the plate, three words could be seen—Heaven Palace Sect. On the back of the plate, two more words could be seen—South Building.
"It is as I expected!" Xu Que exclaimed, with a knowing look on his face. When he agreed to become an apprentice of Xuanyuan Wanrong, she gave him a plate and said that he had become a temporary apprentice of the Heaven Palace Sect's South Building. However, Xu Que had forgotten all about this for a long time. When Buttface and Duan Jiude, who had stayed in the Heaven Continent for several years, told him that something had happened in the Heaven Continent, he didn't remember this plate.
Jiang Hongyan had joined the Jade Lake first and became the new generation Holy Virgin of the Jade Lake. Then she joined the Heaven Palace Academy. Many geniuses, including the Divine Being, cast greedy eyes on her not only because of her beauty, but also because of her Body of Heavenly Kismet. When Xu Que looked at the plate in his hand and remembered the words of Xuanyuan Wanrong, he figured out that she was also a member of the Heaven Palace Sect.
"Wait! This can't be correct!" At this time, an idea occurred to Xu Que, who frowned and said as he looked at the plate, "Buttface, before Hongyan joined the Heaven Palace Academy, was there a place in the Heaven Continent of which the name was the Heaven Palace Sect?"
Buttface and Duan Jiude were stunned by his words. They said as they looked at the plate in Xu Que's hand with puzzlement, "Aren't the Heaven Palace Academy and the Heaven Palace Sect the same place? Anyway, little brat, did that woman give this plate to you?"
"Little brat, the Heaven Palace Academy is also called the Heaven Palace Sect on the Heaven Continent. So, they should represent the same place!" Duan Jiude added.
At this time, Mo Junchen, who had looked at the plate in Xu Que's hand with puzzlement, shouted in surprise, "No! It is not! The Heaven Palace Academy and the Heaven Palace Sect are not the same!"
"Oh? Guardian Mo, what do you mean?" Xu Que raised his eyebrows and asked Mo Junchen. Apparently, Mo Junchen knew something. After all, he had been to the Heaven Continent several thousand years ago. So, he should know more information than Buttface and Duan Jiude.
"Where…did you get this plate? It is very ominous!" Instead of providing any explanation, Mo Junchen pointed at the plate in Xu Que's hand and trembled with fear as he took two steps back. Seeing that, Buttface and Duan Jiude also stepped back. Although they didn't know why the plate was ominous, the two cowards were frightened by Mo Junchen' s reaction.
"Ominous? After I obtained this plate, nothing bad happened to me!" Xu Que smiled as he looked at the plate in his hand calmly. Mo Junchen realized his reaction was inappropriate. But he still didn't approach Xu Que, but said, standing where he was, "Faction Leader, actually, the Heaven Palace Academy originated from the Heaven Palace Sect. To be exact, the Heaven Palace Sect disappeared many years ago. An abandoned apprentice of the Heaven Palace Sect set up the Heaven Palace Academy later. The names of these two sects are quite similar. But there is a big difference between the Heaven Palace Sect and the Heaven Palace Academy!"
"What? Then, why do you say this plate is ominous?" Xu Que asked.
"Because…all members of the Heaven Palace Sect, including the sect leader and all the apprentices, died overnight. Even the apprentices of the Heaven Palace Sect who were traveling in the outside world died. The sect leader and other heads just disappeared and nobody ever saw their bodies!" Mo Junchen turned pale and said, as his hands trembled, "I know about this from the ancient books. Many people on the Heaven Continent also know about this People don't talk about it. Nobody wants to remember it. The Heaven Palace Sect has become an ominous name. Those who have this plate would be deemed as an apprentice of the Heaven Palace Sect. These people will meet with misfortune and even die an unnatural death!"
"Boo, this is absurd! Does it mean the Heaven Palace Sect was cursed? Will all members of the Heaven Palace Sect die? This is totally nonsense!" Xu Que said disdainfully. Then he threw the plate suddenly away from him and said, putting his palms together devoutly, "Amitabha, the Buddha blesses me! That woman gave the plate to me! I didn't agree to become an apprentice of the Heaven Palace Sect! Amen!"
Buttface, "…"
Duan Jiude, "…"
Mo Junchen's lips twitched, and he shook his head. Then he sighed as he looked again at the palace in front of him. "The Heaven Palace Sect used to be a gigantic sect, which had at least 100 Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, 3,000 Taiyi Celestials, and over 100,000 apprentices at the Golden Celestial Stage. Its sect leader and several Building Heads even reached the stage of Celestial Prime! Someone said they were very close to the Celestial Emperor! If they were still alive, they would be invincible in the Heaven Continent!" At this time, Mo Junchen paused a bit. Then, he said with fear, "However, such a powerful sect was destroyed overnight, which goes beyond the imaginations of all people. It should be impossible even during the peak stage of the Heaven Continent, unless…"
"Unless what?" Xu Que asked immediately. Buttface and Duan Jiude also looked at Mo Junchen with great curiosity.
"Unless they were killed by the deities! However, deities shouldn't have appeared in that period. Therefore, among so much gossip, one hearsay was the most convincing—the Heaven Palace Sect was cursed by the deities!" Mo Junchen said seriously.
"Cursed?" Hearing that, Xu Que was surprised and his eyelids twitched a bit. An issue which had almost been forgotten by him reappeared in his mind at this time. When he was in the Fire Nation, the System reminded him that he was cursed by the Fire God. However, after that, nothing bad had happened to him. So, he had almost forgotten it. He remembered it when he heard the God of Hell. Now, he remembered it again when Mo Junchen mentioned the curse.
"Faction Leader, this is quite queer. I'm afraid the one who gave you this plate must have done it with an evil thought!" Mo Junchen said at this time.
Xu Que smiled, "I don't know whether she did it with malice or not. But I know she doesn't have the guts to kill me! By the way, you are curious about the woman we are talking about just now, right? She is the owner of this palace!" Mo Junchen was stunned a bit. Then he nodded his head with a smile. Just now, he was confused by the conversation among Xu Que, Buttface, and Duan Jiude. So, he was quite happy to hear Xu Que's explanation.
"That woman…is so annoying!" Xu Que squinted his eyes and continued to say as he looked at the palace, "This woman, who gave me this plate, is a Building Head of the Heaven Palace Sect. Her name is Xuanyuan Wanrong!"
"Wh…at?" Hearing that, Mo Junchen was totally stunned and his eyes were full of fear.
Xu Que continued to say with a smile, "By the way, that woman admires my handsomeness. So, she showed her love to me and forced me to become her Cultivation Companion at last! Isn't it annoying?"
Chapter 1253: It Has Nothing to Do with Me
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Junchen couldn't believe what he had heard—his mind was blown. Does this mean a member of the Heaven Palace Sect, which disappeared tens of thousands of years ago, is still alive? And this woman is the head of the Heaven Palace Sect's South Building! This is totally impossible! Even a Celestial Prime couldn't live in the shadows for so many years! According to the records in the ancient books, all of them were dead! How could she have survived?
Mo Junchen was confused. He only knew a few things about the Heaven Palace Sect from the ancient books, which had been handed down by his predecessors. But Mo Junchen didn't know about Xuanyuan Wanrong. However, he did know that those who could become a Building Head were big shots who were extremely powerful.
Gulp! Mo Junchen swallowed with difficulty and said as he looked at Xu Que in surprise, "Faction Leader…you are not fooling me, right? Is the Building Head of the Heaven Palace Sect's South Building really your Cultivation Companion?"
"Heh, heh, why should I do that? Anyway, she will emerge in several hundred years, and I will introduce you to her!" Xu Que said with a smile.
"Eh, thanks, but that won't be necessary!" Mo Junchen's eyelids twitched, and he answered with a wry smile because now he had an ominous feeling in his heart. He didn't believe that this horrible woman could fall in love with a young cultivator at the Human Celestial Stage. There must be some horrible secrets behind this story. Moreover, Mo Junchen didn't want to know about it—he didn't have the guts to get to know the extremely powerful big shots of the Heaven Palace Sect that was destroyed so many years ago.
"Hmm, forget it! Let's go into this palace first. My Cultivation Companion's home is also my home. So, be my guest!" Xu Que said as he walked toward the gate of the palace. He didn't worry about any danger inside the palace. As they approached, they found that the top of the mountain was shielded by a horrible restrictive spell, which meant that nobody could enter this area. But they didn't find any restrictive spell around the palace. Xu Que was sure Xuanyuan Wanrong was not here. So he was quite calm and decided he wanted to obtain something precious from the palace.
Boom!
Xu Que opened the gate of the palace. The two sides of the gate created a deafening noise, and a gust of chilly wind blew out into their faces.
"Holy sh*t! The Celestial Core Power is so dense here! My body is trembling, and I can't help but rush into this palace!" Buttface shouted in surprise as he ran to Xu Que. Xu Que was also surprised a bit. They had already been impressed by the magnificent Celestial Core Power on the mountaintop. They didn't expect the Celestial Core Power in the palace, which was the origin of the Celestial Core Power outside the palace, could be so dense! It felt as if every breath in this palace was equivalent to performing cultivation on the Earth Continent for three days and three nights!
"Interesting! No wonder that woman was so powerful! This palace where she used to live is fantastic!" Xu Que smiled and stepped into the palace. Mo Junchen opened his mouth, hesitating. When he found that Buttface and Duan Jiude didn't say anything, he had to go into the palace following them.
When they entered, Xu Que saw an ice coffin in front of him, which was identical with the one he had seen under the Celestial Burial Valley. He could also sense a strand of Xuanyuan Wanrong's aura. Apparently, the woman had lain in this coffin for a long time. Xu Que was confused. Why does she like sleeping in a coffin? Does she want to become a zombie? He shook his head and ignored the ice coffin, for he found it was empty. It turned out that the entire palace was empty, and Xu Que couldn't find any Celestial Artifacts in it.
However, Xu Que and his teammates were still fascinated to know the origin of the magnificent Celestial Core Power. They walked, following the Celestial Core Power. When they walked into a wing of the palace, all of them stopped. Here, there was a pool that was giving off clouds and mist. It looked like a hot spring. All the Celestial Core Power was coming out of this pool. When they looked at it carefully, they found the water under the clouds and mist was golden. It resembled a golden lake with many ripples on its surface even though there was no wind in this palace.
Howl! "I think we have found a precious item! I bet something extraordinary is in this pool!" Buttface shouted as he dashed forward.
Mo Junchen was also surprised, "No, this pool…itself is a precious item! If I'm not wrong, this must be the legendary Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool recorded in the ancient books!"
"The Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool? I have never heard of this. Tell us about it." Xu Que said curiously.
Mo Junchen spoke seriously, "It is said that the ancient deities liked bathing in this pool, which could remove the mortal dirt and defects from their souls and Taoist Connotations and make them sparkle with the light of deities! However, this pool has been hidden away in this palace for so many years, and its Celestial Core Power had been flowing away incessantly. I'm afraid it is not as efficient as before. But it is still an extremely powerful tonic for us!"
"What? A tonic? Guardian Mo, are you kidding? Do you mean we have to drink the bathwater of those so-called deities?" Xu Que asked disdainfully.
Mo Junchen said with a smile, "No, Faction Leader, you misunderstood me! I mean we can also take a bath here. It would accelerate our cultivation just as if we were to take numerous elixirs!" Xu Que was so happy to hear that. He really needed to realize a breakthrough in his Cultivation Stage now! Although he had modified his physique in the God of Hell's Realm and he had reached the summit of the Human Celestial Stage, he was still too weak on the Heaven Continent. If he could reach the Earth Celestial Stage, he would be much more powerful.
"Humph! You really know a lot!" Just at this moment, a cold, crisp voice full of a powerful momentum rang out from the palace.
Buttface, Mo Junchen, and Duan Jiude were shocked by the voice. Xu Que's expression also changed. He turned around in disbelief. That voice was so familiar. It was the voice of Xuanyuan Wanrong. The woman was still here! No, it was impossible for her to have come out from the Celestial Burial Valley. But why could I hear her voice here? Does it mean she is sending a voice message as she did last time in the deserted place? Xu Que didn't do anything reckless. He was looking around and trying to find the source of the voice. Mo Junchen's head was covered by a cold sweat. Even though he had reached the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage, he felt like an ant in front of that magnificent voice.
���Guardian Mo, don't panic!" Buttface patted Mo Junchen's hand as he consoled him. Mo Junchen nodded his head.
Flop! Then, Buttface fell on the ground and gasped, Howl! "I…am going to die! Senior, it has nothing to do with me! I hope you can throw my body out when you kill all of them. Thank you!" Then, Buttface started to play dead by closing his eyes and stretching out his legs on the ground.
Chapter 1254: Are They Going to Fool Others Again?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At this time, the palace was dead silent. Nobody uttered a word. However, they all felt that they were facing a horrible pressure, almost as if they were being interrogated.
Xu Que ignored Buttface, who continued to play dead, and looked around. Mo Junchen was surprised when he saw Buttface's action. He was astounded by Buttface's stupid action. But actually, he could only look at Buttface enviously and wish he had the nerve to do the same thing.
"Heh! Young man, are you looking for me?" At this time, the voice could be heard again. It was horrible.
Young man? Xu Que was surprised, for this was not the way Xuanyuan Wanrong addressed him. Also this person didn't speak in the same manner as Xuanyuan Wanrong. Xu Que got the feeling that this was a different woman altogether. He shouted excitedly, "Wanrong, is that you? Is that you? I didn't expect you were here! Great! Finally, I have found you!"
"Mind your words!" Suddenly, the voice rang out like deafening thunder exploding in the palace. Duan Jiude turned pale and almost dropped on his knees. After all, Duan Jiude was the weakest one among them now. It was quite difficult for him to withstand this pressure.
"Wanrong, are…you okay?" Xu Que asked, as he looked dazed, as if he had been stunned.
"Humph! Ignorant ant, how dare you call my name directly?" The voice was very cold and full of anger and killing intent.
"Ah? Eh…Wanrong, cut it out! We are Cultivation Companions. You asked me to call you Wanrong and you would call me Queque, remember?" Xu Que replied with a smile. His control of his expressions was very skillful.
"Cultivation Companions…" The voice paused a bit, after repeating these words, as if she was lost in thought. Xu Que didn't do anything reckless. He knew the woman was still staring at them. If he did anything stupid now, he would be killed by her directly. However, Xu Que had figured out that this Xuanyuan Wanrong was absolutely not the one under the Celestial Burial Valley. It was highly possible that this one was a strand of Xuanyuan Wanrong's Remnant Soul.
"I sensed the aura of the Heavenly Book from you. Also, I could sense the aura of my real body in this book!" At this time, the voice, which was cold and indifferent, came in again. Then, a cloud of mist and fog rose from the empty ice coffin and formed Xuanyuan Wanrong's figure.
She wore a white gown and her hair was combed up in a bun. Her skin was white and tender, which made her look like a fairy. However, chilliness could be seen in her face. She resembled a ruthless killer. It was hard to imagine that a fairy could have such a horrible momentum. Maybe she could be described as the combination of an angel and a devil. At the same time, a smile appeared on Xuanyuan Wanrong's face. The smile was sarcastic and thoughtful. Xu Que even sensed a disdainful inspection in it.
She looked at Xu Que and tried to ridicule him. "I don't believe my real body could accept an ant as her Cultivation Companion! I am a part of my real body, and I will never write down your name in the Taiyi Heaven Book!" Hearing that, Mo Junchen turned to Xu Que, his hands trembling with fear as he thought to himself, This guy is insane! How dare he provoke the One Chosen by the Heaven? Why did I decide to fool around with such a psycho?
"No, you wrote down my name! Wanrong, I don't know what happened to you and why you left and disappeared suddenly! Do you know how long I have been searching for you? I didn't expect that I would only find a strand of remnant soul, which is not your real body! My heart…really hurts a lot!" Xu Que said affectionately. At last, he even patted his chest as he shed tears.
Xuanyuan Wanrong still looked at Xu Que indifferently. Then, she said coldly, "Let me see your Taiyi Heaven Book!"
"Okay! Here you are! I will give you anything you want!" Like a lovestruck man, Xu Que took out the stone tablet, which was the Taiyi Heaven Book, without any hesitation. Then, he threw the book over and it floated in the sky with the magnificent and ancient power of Heaven. On the tablet, two names could be seen—Xuanyuan Wanrong and Xu Que!
Instantly, Xuanyuan Wanrong was stunned with disbelief. "How…could this be?" She murmured in surprise as if she couldn't accept it. "How could my real body choose the One Chosen by the Heaven so casually? This ant is so weak! Nobody knows how long he could live! How could he survive the Relationships Tribulations of the Heaven Book in the future?" Then she looked up and asked as she stared at Xu Que with magnificent kill intent, "What the hell did you do? How could my real body make such a self-destroying choice?"
"Wanrong, calm down!" Suddenly, Xu Que shouted as he looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong.
Swish! Instantly, the air in this area was frozen. Mo Junchen and Duan Jiude were totally dumbfounded. Even Buttface, who was playing dead on the ground, looked at Xu Que in disbelief. Has he lost his mind? How dare he yell at such a horrible woman?
"What did you say?" At the same time, Xuanyuan Wanrong asked coldly. Her eyes were full of killing intent, which gushed toward Xu Que like many chilly swords.
Xu Que, who ignored her threat, shouted overbearingly, "Humph! Xuanyuan Wanrong, you have crossed the line. Today, I will establish my prestige as a husband! You said we would grow old together. But you left without me. Now, I haven't found your real body. But I am treated by your remnant soul so badly! I am so f*cking ridiculous! I don't know why your character has changed. You used to be a gentle woman. How could your remnant soul act like this? Anyway, I will always love you no matter how much you've changed! I will stay beside you forever! I didn't expect that you would look down upon me! Fine! I don't want to force you to do anything you don't like. Duan Jiude, bring me a pen and a piece of paper! I will give her a certificate of divorce!"
"Eh…" Duan Jiude was stunned and almost spat blood. Why do you want to implicate me?mHe stepped forward and tried his best to convince Xu Que, "Little brat, don't be so reckless! Senior Xuanyuan, please calm down! Lovebirds become reconciled often! A young married couple always forgive and forget. Nothing could break up you…oh yeah!"
"Right! Beating is affection and abusing is love!" At this time, Buttface, who had been playing dead on the ground, also stood up and said as he looked at Xu Que, "Brother Que, you fought more than 1,000 cultivators just to protect your wife's body! Your body was almost ruined. Even your d*ck was almost…ahem! You told your wife you were okay with being beaten up by so many people! How could you write a certificate of divorce after quarreling with your wife? You are making a mistake!"
"Right! I remember you were almost killed by them and all your cultivation achievements were ruined. Then, you still tried to save senior Xuanyuan as if you had been a moth flying into the fire! Your love stories have been spread far and wide. You are being too reckless today!" Duan Jiude continued to say.
The cooperation between man and dog was flawless! Mo Junchen was totally dumbfounded by their actions. He didn't know whether the story they mentioned was true or not. But he got a feeling that Buttface and Duan Jiude were trying to fool the woman! He couldn't help but smile to himself. They are so bold and tried to fool others again! Wait! Why did I say again?
Chapter 1255: He Is Somewhat Worthy of My Affection
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xuanyuan Wanrong stood there. She was so beautiful even though she was expressionless now. Standing there quietly, she was just like a photograph, more beautiful than any picture enhanced by Photoshop on Earth! Her exquisite facial features and tender skin were completely in discord with her horrible, suffocating pressure.
However, sometimes this kind of contrast was also a kind of beauty! She stood there and she stared at Xu Que with her razor-sharp eyes. No matter how hard Buttface and Duan Jiude tried to make up a romantic love story, she was unmoved. It seemed as if she was listening, but didn't believe them. Or it seemed as if she was listening, but didn't care what they were talking about.
"Duan Jiude, where is the pen and paper?" At this time, Xu Que stared at Xuanyuan Wanrong directly. Even though he was not as powerful as she was, he would never show the white feather! Duan Jiude and Buttface were still making up their story. When they heard Xu Que's words, they stopped their performance. They had understood Xu Que's plan tacitly. Since the romantic story didn't work, they would try the hard-line approach! However, when Xu Que decided to use the hard-line approach, Buttface and Duan Jiude stepped back at the same time for they couldn't afford to provoke that horrible woman.
"Do you really think a marriage bestowed by the Taiyi Heaven Book is a trifling matter? You can't end it with a certificate of divorce! How ridiculous you are!" Xuanyuan Wanrong said sarcastically at this time. It seemed as if the actions of Xu Que and his teammates had been just a big joke for her from the very beginning. It was as if someone who knew everything was standing in front of you. But you still tried to fool them!
"Am I ridiculous? I don't think so! For me, you are ridiculous!" Xu Que said calmly at this time. Xuanyuan Wanrong squinted her eyes. Killing intent gushed out again. She was just like an angry cat who was about to attack at any time. "Boo, poor woman! Even though you are just a strand of Wanrong's remnant soul, she was just like you before I convinced her. I still want to say you are a poor woman who knows nothing about the greatness and mystery of love!" Xu Que ridiculed her with a cold smile. After making eye contact, Buttface and Duan Jiude figured out what Xu Que was about to bluff this time.
"Love? Heh, pathetic ant!" However, to their surprise, Xuanyuan Wanrong was not annoyed by Xu Que's words. She was still looking at them sarcastically. For her, Xu Que was still a fool.
Xu Que was annoyed this time. I have been doing my best to act tough. My acting skills are excellent! How dare you mock me! This is totally unacceptable! Before Xu Que had time to retort, Xuanyuan Wanrong turned around suddenly. "Take your time in cultivation, pathetic ant!" She replied indifferently as she walked toward the ice coffin slowly. With a strand of a smile on her face, she turned her back on Xu Que and his teammates. However, her mind was still full of complicated thoughts. Although he is quite headstrong, he is somewhat worthy of my affection. However, my real body, what were you thinking? Can he cross the Relationship Tribulation of the Heaven Book? Are you really going to ruin over 10,000 years of efforts?
At the same time, Xu Que and his teammates were also confused when they saw Xuanyuan Wanrong disappear into the ice coffin. What is wrong with this woman? One second ago, she was filled with magnificent killing intent. Why did she change her mind and even ask them to perform cultivation?
"Holy sh*t! Little brat, don't tell me that woman really fell in love with you! It is impossible! You can't rival me in appearance, temperament, or morality!" Buttface walked up to Xu Que and said with puzzlement.
Bang!
Xu Que hit Buttface on the head. "You are nothing compared to me! Also, if that woman likes you, I will replace my name in the Taiyi Heaven Book with yours!"
"F*ck! Brother Que, I was really wrong! I am guilty! I am not a man but a beast!" Buttface held Xu Que's hand and said with an apologetic smile, "This woman is too ugly! I don't like her at all! Alas! I really miss that Warden! I don't know whether I could meet her again!"
The Warden? Xu Que was stunned a bit. Then, that gigantic Warden with the girlish voice in the Good and Evil Village reappeared in his mind, which made him shiver! However, it seemed Buttface really liked that woman!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your taste is really weird!" Xu Que looked at Buttface with wonder.
Splash!
At this time, they heard a splash. It seemed as if something heavy fell into the water. Xu Que and Buttface turned around. Then they rushed toward the pool. Duan Jiude had jumped into the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool while they were chatting. Xu Que knew this pool was a precious opportunity. So he rushed up with Buttface, because he didn't want to waste his time here. Before Xuanyuan Wanrong had left and gone back to the coffin, she had said something that puzzled Xu Que. She had asked Xu Que to take his time in cultivation, which meant that their time to perform cultivation here was limited.
Mo Junchen was still standing by, puzzled. He planned to ask Xu Que some questions. When he saw Xu Que and Buttface also jump into the pool, he cancelled his plans and also walked into the pool. For him, a cultivator at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage, this pool was still an efficient tool to enhance his cultivation, even though the Celestial Core Power in this pool had been flowing away for many years. He would never miss this opportunity!
…..
Soon, three people and one dog were immersed in the pool holding their heads out of the water. Dense Celestial Core Power also gushed into their bodies and started to nourish their Meridians.
Howl!
"Ah!"
"Hmm!"
"Oh yeah!"
They started to groan cozily. Yes, it was so comfortable! In this precious pool, they didn't even need to perform cultivation. The Celestial Core Power started to flow along their Meridians and remove the impurities in their bodies automatically! More importantly, they had only been sitting in the pool for a short while. But they already had a feeling that they had performed cultivation for dozens of days and made obvious progress in their Cultivation Stages.
Chapter 1256: Secluded Cultivation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"This is awesome! Doesn't it mean we perform cultivation for several thousand years if we could stay in this pool for 100 years?" Duan Jiude said in surprise for he had found the way to realize a breakthrough in his Cultivation Stage.
Mo Junchen shook his head, "No, if we stay in this pool for a long time, its effect will last for several years at most. The water in this pool is a kind of precious liquid that could restore the Celestial Core Power that flows away all the time. If we stay in this pool, we are exchanging matter with it!"
"Exchange? What do you mean?" Buttface asked.
"It means we absorb its Celestial Core Power as it absorbs the impurities in our bodies. You know we don't have many impurities in our body now. But we still have some elixir residue in our bodies!" Mo Junchen explained.
"Oh, I get it. This pool is just like a cleaner fish which only consumes the rubbish in our body and returns to us Celestial Core Power!" Xu Que drew an analogy with a smile.
"It is more or less like that. However, most Celestial Core Power is generated by the pool itself. As long as the source is not drained, it will regenerate Celestial Core Power continuously!" Mo Junchen nodded his head.
Duan Jiude said, puzzled, "No, I don't think so. As you said, if the pool could restore the Celestial Core Power slowly, why wouldn't it be more efficient as it used by deities? I have stayed in this pool for a while. I only feel my Celestial Core Power is increasing. But my Soul and Taoist Connotation are not purified and perfected at all!"
"Right! As I said, we are exchanging matter with the pool. It will not only absorb the impurities in our body. Its effect is also related to our Cultivation Stage!" Mo Junchen said, as he scratched his head, "It is a little bit difficult to explain. Generally speaking, if our Cultivation Stage is low, the effect of this pool will also be weakened. If deities are in this pool, its effect would also be enhanced!"
"Hmm, I get it. In other words, the pool has been weakened since we jumped into it, right?" Xu Que said.
Mo Junchen nodded his head, "Exactly! So, I don't think we can stay here for a long time. We will have to leave here in one or at most two years! Otherwise, even if the source of this pool is not ruined by us, its effect will be very weak at that time, far weaker than now!"
"Holy sh*t! This is unacceptable!" Hearing that, Xu Que shouted, "Buttface and Duan Jiude, get out of this pool! Also, Guardian Mo, you should be protecting me at this time. How could you perform cultivation in this pool?"
"…" Mo Junchen frowned. You said we would share each other's fortunes!
"Faction Leader, you misunderstood me. Even if you stay in this pool alone, the pool will still be weakened! The pool can't restore itself as long as we are in it. When all of us leave this pool, it will start to restore itself automatically! Of course, don't worry about the overfast consumption of the Celestial Core Power when all of us are in the pool. To some extent, the Celestial Core Power in this pool is endless! The only thing we should pay attention to is to avoid staying in it for a long time!" Mo Junchen said with embarrassment. If the records in the ancient books were not wrong, the operation mechanism of this pool should be like this!
Hearing that, Xu Que understood the pool better. So he said, nodding his head with a smile, "Hah, hah, I was kidding just now! Don't tell me you thought I meant it just now! Members of the Exploding Heavens Faction always share fortunes and misfortunes together! Come on, let's absorb the Celestial Core Power all together!"
Buttface laughed, "Heh, heh!" Duan Jiude laughed, although he wasn't sure why, "Heh, heh!"
Mo Junchen asked, "Heh…ahem, Faction Leader, actually, may I ask you a question?"
"Oh? What is it?" Xu Que leaned on the edge of the pool. The feeling was so good in this pool—it was much more comfortable than a hot springs!
"Just now you mentioned the Taiyi Heaven Book. Does this mean you are the One Chosen by Heaven?" Mo Junchen asked. Actually, this question was meaningless. When Xu Que took out the stone tablet, he had seen Xu Que's name on it. Mo Junchen didn't know how to talk about the Taiyi Heaven Book, so he asked it indirectly.
"Okay! Come straight to the point. I know the meaning of being the One Chosen by Heaven. Actually, I was forced to…ahem, forget it, let's talk about it later!" Xu Que was about to pour out his grievances to Mo Junchen by telling Mo Junchen how he was chosen by Xuanyuan Wanrong and became the One Chosen by Heaven. However, he realized Xuanyuan Wanrong's remnant soul was still here. If she knew the facts, even if Xu Que and his teammates were not killed by her, they would be driven away!
"Okay! Let's talk about it later!" Hearing that, Mo Junchen nodded his head. Actually, he knew it was not important to talk about it now. Xu Que had become the One Chosen by Heaven, which was a fact nobody could change. It was meaningless to talk about it. Nobody could go against the will of Heaven!
"By the way, Guardian Mo, you mentioned the Heaven Palace Academy has over 100 Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven and 3,000 Taiyi Celestials. Could you tell me their Cultivation Stages? I only know the Heaven Celestials and the Golden Celestials. And I have no idea about the Cultivation Stages higher than that," Xu Que asked at this time. Although he was just at the Human Celestial Stage, he tried to get some knowledge by chatting with Mo Junchen.
However, before Mo Junchen had time to say anything, Buttface said first, "I can tell you! After the Golden Celestial, one will become the Taiyi Golden Celestial, the Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, the Celestial King, the Celestial Prime, and the Celestial Emperor! At last, a cultivator could reach the stage of the Taoist Prime and the Taoist Emperor! Only those who reach the stage of the Celestial Emperor could touch the Taoist Connotation. In other words, they are qualified to comprehend their Tao!"
"Holy sh*t! I didn't realize that there were still so many Cultivation Stages! When can I reach the highest level?" Xu Que felt quite frustrated for he still had a long way to go in his cultivation. However, Xuanyuan Wanrong's Cultivation Stage surprised him. Mo Junchen said Xuanyuan Wanrong had reached the stage of the Celestial Prime and was very close to the Celestial Emperor as the Building Head of the Heaven Palace Sect. She was so powerful, but the Heaven Palace Sect had still been ruined overnight! Xuanyuan Wanrong had lain in the ice coffin for tens of thousands of years! Even more horrible, Xuanyuan Wanrong said she was in a Nirvana State and would come out after several hundred years! Then, what would be the woman's Cultivation Stage after several hundred years? Also, Xuanyuan Wanrong had sent some cultivators to check whether those who were buried in other deathtraps in the Four Great Continents were awakened or not. This was very informative, and it meant there were more than one big shot like Xuanyuan Wanrong.
"The dog is correct about the big Cultivation Stages. However, there are some small stages!" Mo Junchen added at this time.
"F*ck! Why did you call me a dog? I am a wolf and also the Deputy Faction Leader! I will punish you according to the rules of our faction!" Buttface rushed toward Mo Junchen immediately. Xu Que stopped Buttface and asked as he looked at Mo Junchen, "What are those small stages?"
"Actually, only the Taiyi Celestial and the Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven have small stages. The Taiyi Celestial is divided into three stages, which are the Taiyi Disbanded Celestial, the Taiyi Genuine Celestial, and the Taiyi Golden Celestial! The Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven can be divided into two small stages, which are the Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven and the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven!" Mo Junchen said with a smile as he looked at Buttface lamely. He believed he was as powerful as Buttface and could even slap Buttface to death. However, after being kicked by Buttface in his knee, he felt this dog's strength was unfathomable. So he decided to avoid provoking it.
"The Taiyi Disbanded Celestial, Taiyi Genuine Celestial, and the Taiyi Golden Celestial…" Xu Que murmured the small stages mentioned by Mo Junchen as he touched his jaw thoughtfully.
After that, they stopped chatting and started to focus on their own cultivations. Since the Celestial Core Power of this pool could go into their bodies automatically, they decided to stay in this pool for one or two years, so that they could maximize their Cultivation Stage in the limited time. Therefore, instead of killing time through chatting, they preferred to comprehend their Tao when they performed cultivation.
…..
Soon, one year had passed.
Duan Jiude's progress in his Celestial Stage was the most conspicuous. Now he was very close to the Earth Celestial Stage. Normally, the one who would reach the Earth Celestial Stage first should be Xu Que. However, the magic art he acquired was the Ancient Five Elemental Arts. The five celestial spiritual roots in his body needed a lot of Celestial Core Power for their growth. He was accumulating a lot of Celestial Core Power in his body.
Xu Que was also surprised. After all, he had performed cultivation in the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool for one year, which was identical with performing cultivation in the outside world for dozens of years. But why was the Earth Celestial Stage still inaccessible?
"Is it related to my Mighty Body?" Xu Que, who was sitting in the pool with his legs crossed, realized something suddenly. Then, his eyes, which had been closed for one year, opened. He looked down to check his body. He was shocked by what he saw!
Chapter 1257: Is It Obvious Enough Now?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Holy sh*t! Xu Que almost cried out in disbelief. After performing secluded cultivation for one year, all of them had realized great progress in their cultivations. However, they had seldom communicated with each other during the past year, for they were focused on the comprehension of their Taoist Connotation. Xu Que didn't spend a lot of time in checking his progress in cultivation. Now, when he tried to check his progress belatedly, he found he hadn't reached the Earth Celestial Stage yet. He was totally surprised for it was unreasonable! He was a genius in cultivation. After soaking in the pool for one year, how could his breakthrough be still inaccessible?
However, the fact was that he was still at the summit of the Human Celestial Stage and very close to the Earth Celestial Stage. All the Celestial Core Power was accumulated in his Dantian, which was becoming more and more magnificent and pure. So Xu Que wondered whether something was wrong with his body. He had to stop the Tao Comprehension and start to check his body.
When he looked down, he was shocked. What the hell is going on? Why has my d*ck turn golden? In the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool, his d*ck was so dazzling!
What a dazzling…golden d*ck?! Xu Que really wanted to cry now for he was so frustrated. He didn't know how this had happened. But he could feel horrible power in it.
But it is totally f*cking useless! People will laugh at me when I take off my trousers in the future! And I can't use it as a weapon on the battlefield! Xu Que was shameless. But using his d*ck as a weapon was something even he could not bring himself to do.
Wanrong! Wanrong! Come here and tell me what is wrong with my d*ck? Xu Que turned to the ice coffin and asked with his Soul. He thought maybe Xuanyuan Wanrong was playing a trick on him. However, no matter how hard he tried to call her with his Soul, the ice coffin remained quiet. Apparently, Xuanyuan Wanrong didn't want to answer him, or was not able to answer him. Anyway, it was just a strand of remnant soul!
Wait! I think I can control it… Suddenly, Xu Que sensed his Soul could control the power in his d*ck. He tried to release the power from his d*ck with his Soul.
Boom!
When his Soul started to move, the horrible power in his golden d*ck was released, which gushed into his Meridians, blood, and flesh like a raging flood.
Gasp! Xu Que couldn't help but gasp immediately. He felt his body was being stung by numerous mosquitoes. Then he sensed the fresh and cool feeling after releasing the power. After that, the feeling of being stung came back. These feelings were recycled over and over again.
"What?"
Almost at the same time, a strand of remnant soul appeared in that ice coffin again. However, this time Xuanyuan Wanrong didn't form her figure. A plume of smoke rose from the ice coffin, from which shock could be sensed.
"The aura of the Mighty Body of Hades… No, it is even more powerful than that! Now, it is still growing!" Xuanyuan Wanrong murmured in a low voice. Her voice was quite abrupt in this quiet palace. But Xu Que and his teammates didn't hear her. Xu Que was the only one who was awakened. But he was being tortured by the transformation of his body. How could he pay attention to a sound in this palace? He felt he had gone back to the God of Hell's Realm and was being tortured by the reformation of his physique again. And the torture was even more horrible this time!
One day, Two days, Three days…Ten days…
When 49 days had passed, Xu Que still hadn't become numb because of the suffering. On the contrary, his body had become more sensitive and could feel the pain clearly. Luckily, he felt the pain was alleviating that day. He calmed down slowly. His mood changed. His Soul was also calm. His tense body relaxed. At last, he was in a cozy state as if a person had fallen asleep after long hours of hard work.
Whoosh!
At the same time, a plume of white smoke appeared in the ice coffin. Then, Xuanyuan Wanrong's figure appeared again. The figure formed by her remnant soul took a step forward. Then she appeared at the door of the palace as she fixed her eyes on Xu Que's body.
"The Mighty Body could rival the Divine Being. Only the Holy Physique is more powerful than the Mighty Body and the Divine Being. However, the Holy Physique is just an assumption and a concept for nobody could realize it…" Xuanyuan Wanrong continued, "This guy is really lucky! He has obtained the Mighty Body, which is more powerful than that of the God of Hell. Then his physique was enhanced by this pool. His Mighty Body has reached the next level. Does it mean…it is the Holy Physique that only exists in assumptions and concepts?" She just stood there thoughtfully for a long time. At last, her figure dissipated slowly and she went back to the ice coffin again!
…..
The second day, Xu Que opened his eyes and woke up. He felt his body was full of power, which was more powerful than the Mighty Body. He felt he could touch the sky if he jumped up casually.
"What? This is…" Xu Que checked his body again. His dick had returned to normal. However, he found a golden line was extended to his lower body from his chest. When he checked it with his Soul, Xu Que saw a golden river that was flowing down from his chest. The river, which was full of magnificent power, kept nourishing his body and even replaced his blood and bones! Now, he had golden bones and golden blood. What was he now? Xu Que was confused. He turned to Buttface who was sitting beside him. He slapped Buttface's head with his hand.
Bang! Xu Que closed his eyes immediately. Buttface opened his eyes suddenly.
Howl!" Damn! Who hit my head?" Buttface was very angry for his Tao Comprehension was interrupted. He turned to Duan Jiude immediately. However, he found Duan Jiude was about to realize a breakthrough to reach the Earth Celestial Stage. So, it was impossible for Duan Jiude to have hit him at this moment. Xu Que was quite serious and kept frowning slightly. It seemed he was making an important decision. Only Mo Junchen was performing cultivation casually. Seeing that, Buttface reached out his paw and tried to slap Mo Junchen without hesitation.
Whoosh!
Even though Mo Junchen was in Tao Comprehension, he managed to sense someone was about to attack him. So he woke up immediately and dodged Buttface's attack.
"Sh*t! I knew it was you who hit me!" Buttface cursed as he rushed toward Mo Junchen. Mo Junchen was also quite angry. He didn't expect this dog would attack him when he was performing secluded cultivation. He didn't expect Buttface, who offended him, would complain first. When he was about to start a fight with Buttface, he saw Xu Que. Then his expression changed immediately.
"Wait! Look at the Faction Leader's body…" Mo Junchen stopped Buttface and said, pointing at Xu Que. Buttface turned to Xu Que and saw that golden line in his chest. Also, Buttface sensed Xu Que was much more powerful than before!
"The Holy Physique! This is the Holy Physique! I didn't expect the Holy Physique that only exists in dreams could appear today!" Mo Junchen was so excited.
"Holy sh*t! It seems he really has the Holy Physique for he has golden bones and blood! More important, he has a big golden river in his body! This guy is going to change this world!" Buttface was also shocked. At this time, Xu Que opened his eyes slowly as if he had just woken up from a big dream. Then he looked at Buttface and Mo Junchen and asked with puzzlement, "What? Why do you stare at me?"
"Little brat, look…look at your chest!" Buttface shouted as he pointed his paw at Xu Que's chest.
"Oh?" Xu Que looked down and said calmly, "You mean this golden line, right? Actually, it is nothing but a symbol of the Holy Physique! It is not necessary to make a fuss!" Hearing that, Duan Jiude and Buttface opened their eyes wide. It is nothing? It is not necessary to make a fuss? Holy sh*t! This is the Holy Physique! Why are you still so calm?
"Eh, don't tell me you don't know about the Holy Physique!" Xu Que said curiously. Buttface and Mo Junchen didn't know what to say for they didn't understand why Xu Que was so calm. At this time, Xu Que reached out his hand and start to adjust the shape of the golden line on his chest with his Soul Strength. The next moment, Xu Que changed the golden line into two words—Holy Physique—which now had pride of place on his chest. Then Xu Que looked at Buttface and Mo Junchen and said indifferently, "Now, it is obvious enough, right? I have the Holy Physique! The Holy Physique of the Act-Tough King!"
Chapter 1258: We Should Balance Work and Rest
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Clap, clap, clap… Buttface came to himself. When he saw the two crooked words Holy Physique on Xu Que's chest, he shook his head and clapped his paws as he exclaimed, "Awesome! These two words are magnificent!"
"Alas! We should keep a low profile! It is just the Holy Physique and nothing else! It is just a little bit more powerful than the Mighty Body and the Divine Being. You don't need to make a fuss!" Xu Que smiled humbly. Mo Junchen frowned for he couldn't accept Buttface's aesthetic standards. For him, those two words looked ugly!
Xu Que glanced at Mo Junchen without changing his expression. He guessed that he had realized progress in his physique. So he slapped Buttface, so that Buttface could wake Mo Junchen up, who could provide him with an answer. However, Xu Que was still shocked when he realized his Mighty Body had been enhanced to the Holy Physique. Apparently, it was related to the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool. The Mighty Body he had obtained before had been strengthened by the God of Hell. Then it became more powerful when the Chaotic Qi merged into it. Now, it was enhanced to an unprecedented level—the Holy Physique by the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool!
As Mo Junchen said, the Divine Being was the most powerful physique in the era of the deities. Then the Mighty Body of the God of Hell appeared, which could rival the Divine Being. Those Divine Beings with modifiers, like the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, were just defective divine beings, which couldn't rival the real Divine Beings at all. Later, someone asked a question. If a physique was more powerful than the Divine Being or the Mighty Body, how would people call it? So, the term Holy Physique was invented.
They believed the strength of the physique had no upper limits. Even the God of Hell or the Divine Being agreed the Mighty Body or the Divine Being was not the limit. The physique at the next level would be even more horrible. However, nobody had realized it until now. The cultivators were on the decline. The Divine Being disappeared. Only some defective physiques which inherited the bloodline of the Divine Being appeared, such as the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus. The Mighty Body of Hades also disappeared when the God of Hell died. Countless people tried to search for it in the God of Hell's Realm. But nothing was found and most of them were killed in that place. So, people believed the Holy Physique was just a fantasy and could never be realized. It was just like the development of the computer. At the very beginning, people hoped the giant desktop could be turned into a portable tablet computer. However, most people thought it was just a fantasy which couldn't be realized.
Now, Xu Que had realized the Holy Physique by upgrading his Mighty Body. He seemed quite calm as he acted tough in front of Buttface and Mo Junchen. Actually, his heart was full of wild joy. He believed he was able to defeat all those sovereigns with those so-called Divine Beings, such as the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus of the Sage Sect.
Sometimes, it was quite difficult to explain the Kismet. People should be strong enough to grab opportunities when they arose. Countless people had entered the God of Hell's Realm. But all of them failed. Xu Que did his best to obtain that opportunity. At last, he obtained the Mighty Body forcibly by risking his life! If he had given up halfway, he would never have this Holy Physique! If he didn't have the Chaotic Green Lotus, which almost killed him several times, he would never have had his Holy Physique! So, all of this was…predestined!
"Congratulations, Faction Leader!" Mo Junchen congratulated Xu Que with a wry smile at last. Although he didn't know why Xu Que was so lucky and how Xu Que had obtained this Holy Physique, he didn't ask and he was not jealous for he had been totally convinced by Xu Que when Xu Que obtained the Mighty Body in the God of Hell's Realm!
"Little brat, this physique is pretty good! However, you have been performing secluded cultivation for one year, why are you still at the summit of the Human Celestial Stage?" Buttface asked disdainfully at this time. He thought Xu Que, who was a genius in cultivation, would have at least reached the Medium Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage after one year of secluded cultivation. Now, Xu Que's physique was enhanced, which was very tough. However, it only meant his potential was larger. Compared to the progress of his physique, his progress in cultivation stage was nothing.
"Hey! Calm down. I will definitely realize a breakthrough after performing cultivation for one more year!" Xu Que said with a confident smile. He was sure he would realize a breakthrough with the remaining Celestial Core Power in the pool for his physique had reached the upper limit which didn't need any Celestial Core Power.
However, Mo Junchen said hesitantly, "Faction Leader, I'm afraid…this is impossible! The consumption of the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool is far more than I imagined. I thought it could supply Celestial Core Power for at least two years. But…if I'm not wrong, your Holy Physique took away too many essences from this pool. If we continue to stay in it, we will ruin the source of this pool!"
"It doesn't matter! A Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool is nothing for the Exploding Heavens Faction!" Buttface shouted proudly.
Xu Que was also hesitant. After one year's cultivation, he knew clearly how precious this pool was. If he continued to perform cultivation, the source of this pool would be harmed. It was just like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. However, he really needed to realize a breakthrough now. If he couldn't enhance his strength, he would have difficulties in surviving in the Heaven Continent, let alone searching for Jiang Hongyan in the Heaven Palace Academy. Buttface and Duan Jiude had made a lot of enemies in the Heaven Continent. Once they left this place, they had to face the attack of their enemies at any time.
Boom!
At this time, a dull sound came in from the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool. Duan Jiude's momentum became very strong at this moment, A whirlpool appeared above his forehead. Then Celestial Core Power in this area started to gush into his body together with the Rules of Heaven and Earth. He opened his eyes and his magnificent momentum swept across this place.
"The Initial Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage! Holy sh*t! Duan Jiude, you have realized good progress in your cultivation stage! A good sword never gets dull!" Buttface shouted immediately. Mo Junchen also nodded his head. Duan Jiude had managed to advance two stages from the Medium Stage of the Human Celestial Stage to the Initial Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage within several decades, which was impossible for many young sovereigns.
"Heh, heh, thanks to the inheritance we robbed before, I can make such an achievement. Otherwise, I guess I can't even reach the Human Celestial Stage for the rest of my life!" Duan Jiude stood up in the pool and said with a smile. Apparently, he and Buttface had obtained some extraordinary inheritance in the Heaven Continent, which provided him with the skill of divination and even enhanced his endowments.
"Elder Duan, congratulations! I'm afraid you have to stop your cultivation here. You should cross your Heavenly Tribulation immediately. Otherwise, once the Celestial Core Power in your body leaks out, your cultivation stage will go back to the Human Celestial Stage!" Mo Junchen reminded him at this time. Duan Jiude realized he hadn't reached the Earth Celestial Stage completely. After all, he reached the Earth Celestial Stage forcibly with the help of the pool. If he didn't cross his Heavenly Tribulation, his cultivation stage wouldn't be solidified and could even fall back to the former stage. The Celestial Core Power in his body would also run off slowly.
"Right! Let me cross my Heavenly Tribulation first! Please continue your cultivation here!" Duan Jiude walked out of the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool and was about to cross his Heavenly Tribulation.
"Okay! If the tribulation is too powerful, just call us and we will help you!" Xu Que nodded his head. Then he said seriously, "Now, I will continue my cultivation!"
Hearing that, Mo Junchen changed his expression slightly, "Faction Leader, are you sure?" He thought it was a reckless waste of such a precious pool by realizing a breakthrough to the Earth Celestial Stage.
"I have no choice! I have to realize the breakthrough soon. Otherwise, I will be defeated by powerhouses at the Golden Celestial Stage easily!" Xu Que shook his head. Even though he had obtained the Holy Physique and was quite powerful now, if a lot of powerhouses at the Golden Celestial Stage attacked them, Mo Junchen could defend himself at most. The rest of them could do nothing but run away! He used to wound the King Refiner Liu with all kinds of Trap & Kill Arrays. And Xu Que was almost killed at that time. Now, they were in the Heaven Continent, which was full of powerhouses at the Golden Celestial Stage. Xu Que didn't have time to set up those Trap & Kill Arrays.
"Alas! What a pity!" Mo Junchen sighed as he shook his head.
"It's nothing! When we were at the Void Training Stage, we used to wash our feet with the Living Holy Water!" Xu Que said with a faint smile.
Just at this time, something happened in that ice coffin in the main hall of the palace. A plume of smoke appeared in the coffin. Then Xuanyuan Wanrong's voice rang out, "If you want to stay alive, you should leave here today!" Her voice was still cold and indifferent. However, her tone was not as tough as before. It seemed she was advising them to leave instead of driving them away.
Xu Que was stunned. Then he asked, "Does it mean something dangerous will happen tomorrow?"
The smoke in the coffin paused a bit. Then Xuanyuan Wanrong's voice came in again."For so many years, I have been sleeping. I wouldn't have woken up if you didn't come here with the Taiyi Heaven Book, which made me have a misconception that my real body was back! However, I know everything that happened here! This place is under the control of an organization of which the name is the Sage Sect. They will send over 100 apprentices at the Earth Celestial Stage to perform cultivation alongside the river at the foot of this mountain every 50 years. Now, those apprentices are at the foot of this mountain. According to their schedule, their sect leader will come to this place. However, he will perform cultivation in this Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool!"
The Sage Sect? Hearing that, Xu Que and his teammates lit up their eyes immediately. "We plan to make trouble for the Sage Sect in the Heaven Continent. I didn't expect they could deliver themselves to our doorsteps!" Xu Que said with a smile. Duan Jiude and Buttface twitched their lips, "Little brat, what you said is incorrect! It seems we deliver ourselves to their doorsteps!"
Xu Que was stunned a bit. Then, he glanced at Buttface and Duan Jiude disdainfully, "Cowards! Wanrong told us their sect leader will come here alone! No matter how powerful he is, he will be killed by the Trap & Kill Arrays set up by me in this place!"
"He is a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven!" Duan Jiude said quietly.
"A Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven is no…Wait! After coming to the Heaven Continent with difficulty, I suggest we shall set aside our revenge plan and enjoy the beautiful scenery in this world first. Let's learn the local customs and practices here and promote the cultural development. We shall balance work and rest and we shall not ruin everything in our way!" Xu Que said earnestly. Buttface and Duan Jiude didn't look down upon Xu Que because of his attitude change. After all, they knew how horrible a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven in the Heaven Continent. They would never have a chance to defeat a powerhouse like that!
"Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven?" At this time, Xuanyuan Wanrong's cold smile came in from the ice coffin. "You are talking about the descendant of that man, right? That man, who comes here every 50 years, reached the stage of the Celestial King 100 years ago. Maybe he has become the Patriarch of that sect!"
"F*ck!" Buttface shouted as he turned around and escaped directly. Duan Jiude was also shocked. Then he also planned to leave here before drying his clothes. Even Mo Junchen was dumbfounded. A Celestial King? I didn't expect a Celestial King could be found in the Heaven Continent! He must be an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years!
"Heh, this is quite interesting! I feel like I have become an ant again!" Xu Que clenched his fists with a cold smile.This contrast was quite stark. He had become an invincible cultivator on the Earth Continent. As a cultivator at the Human Celestial Stage, he could even defeat cultivators at the Heaven Celestial Stage. He didn't expect he would be so weak on the Heaven Continent. However, this was not the first time for him to experience such a stark contrast. Moreover, he had obtained the Holy Physique, which meant he would be invincible in the future. His way of cultivation would be very difficult but bright and full of hopes and challenges.
Whoosh!
The ice coffin became silent again. This time, Xuanyuan Wanrong's remnant soul dropped into deep sleep completely and continued to wait for the arrival of her real body. Xu Que saw this scene and ignored it. In fact, Xu Que had no love for Xuanyuan Wanrong at all. This woman was too cruel and ruthless. He didn't want to provoke her. Her remnant soul urged Xu Que and his teammates to leave immediately. Actually, she was worried that her real body would die if Xu Que was killed by his enemy. After all, their names had been written down in the Taiyi Heaven Book, which meant they would die together!
"Little brat, stop wasting time here. Let's retreat immediately. If that Celestial King comes here one day early, all of us will die here!" Buttface urged at this moment. Duan Jiude also nodded his head. If they decided to leave here, Xu Que should use the Space-Breaking Spell. This place had been isolated by restrictive spells completely, and they were not powerful enough to leave here by breaking those spells.
"So, we just go like this? Empty-handed?" Xu Que said with a smile as he looked at everything in this palace, including that Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool. Duan Jiude understood Xu Que's intention tacitly. So, he said with a smile, "Then let's hang around in this place before leaving here!"
"Don't bother doing that! I've searched this place. You can't find anything precious here, except for that pool!" Buttface shouted immediately. Xu Que widened his eyes for he didn't expect Buttface had searched this place. Damn! This stupid dog was so fast! I didn't even notice his action! It seems Buttface has done lots of nasty businesses here in the past year!
"Forget it! Let me take away this pool!" Xu Que didn't care whether Buttface had found anything precious here. He would never leave this pool here!
Hearing that, Mo Junchen was shocked, "Faction Leader, can you…take away this Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool? As far as I know, you will need at least a container at the level of the Low-grade Celestial Artifact to carry it!" Although he knew Xu Que had a lot of Celestial Artifacts, it was not easy to find a container at the level of the Celestial Artifacts, which were quite rare.
"Guardian Mo, you overthink it. I don't want to take away this Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool for it does not conform to the rules of our faction!" Xu Que waved his hand and said with a smile. Mo Junchen was stunned a bit. Then, he nodded his head with embarrassment. Indeed, it belongs to a Celestial King! It is inappropriate to take it away directly. Moreover, it is not easy to take it away!
At this time, Xu Que continued to say, "OK, we shall stop wasting time here. All of you, get out of this palace. I need one hour to take away this palace. Then, we can leave this place!"
Mo Junchen, "???"
Chapter 1259: This Is a Requisition!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que ignored Mo Junchen and activated the System interface. He opened a new grid in which to store Celestial Artifacts by spending hundreds of thousands of Acting Tough Points. He had to use the Celestial Artifact Storage Grid to rob and store all Low-grade Celestial Artifacts. Undoubtedly, this palace was a Celestial Artifact just like the palace of the Emperor on the Xuanzhen Continent. The only difference was that this palace was a Middle-grade Celestial Artifact.
"Got you!" When the new storage grid was opened, Xu Que shouted. Formless force gushed out of his body and wrapped the entire palace up!
Rumble!
With a deafening noise, the entire palace started to tremble. It looked as if it was about to be lifted by a giant hand.
"How…could this be?" Mo Junchen was dumbfounded. He had guessed that Xu Que planned to take away the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool. Anybody would cast greedy eyes on that, including himself. However, it was difficult to take away the pool, for a container at the level of Celestial Artifact was required. Xu Que had said he wouldn't take away the pool for it didn't conform to the rules of his faction. So Mo Junchen dismissed the idea and felt slight regret about it. He definitely didn't expect that Xu Que didn't want to take away the pool because he planned to take away the entire palace. It turned out this was the f*cking rule of the Exploding Heavens Faction!
Mo Junchen's eyes got wider and wider. When the magnificent palace rose up from the ground, he was totally shocked. He felt ignorant for he didn't know the rules of the faction. Buttface and Duan Jiude were quite calm for they knew this was not the first time Xu Que had done this. And his action was in compliance with the faction rules—the Exploding Heavens Faction will not only bring you dread, but also leave you with only a single needle and a piece of thread!
"Guardian Mo, why are you so bewildered? Remember, we are not robbing or stealing this palace. This is a requisition necessary to maintain world peace! When world peace is realized, we will return it to its owner!" Buttface patted Mo Junchen's shoulder with his paw and spoke sincerely. Mo Junchen's lips twitched and his heart was filled with bitterness. Now he knew he had been fooled by these people. Requisition everything to maintain world peace? Return everything to their owners when world peace is realized? Is it even possible to realize world peace? This is robbery out in the open!
"Hey, Guardian Mo, why are you so frustrated? I think what Buttface said is correct! This is not robbery but requisition! The Exploding Heavens Faction's requisition shall never be treated as robbery! This is a requisition for world peace!" Duan Jiude also tried to brainwash Mo Junchen. Mo Junchen didn't know what to say and didn't want to retort. After all, he had sworn on his Inner Demons when he joined the Exploding Heavens Faction. He really had no choice! Robbery, theft, or requisition, who cares? Nobody is absolutely clean in this world!
Boom!
Just then, the palace was lifted up into the sky. Then it started to shrink rapidly. At last, the palace was turned into a beam of white light that gushed into Xu Que's body and disappeared.
Phew! Xu Que let out a sigh of relief. Exhaustion and sweat could be seen on his face. This was the first time he had subdued a Middle-grade Celestial Artifact, and it caused a great drain on his Soul Strength.
"Little brat, it's quite tiresome, right? After all, it is a Middle-grade Celestial Artifact, which is quite rare in the Heaven Continent!" Duan Jiude said with a smile.
Xu Que waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. No matter how exhausting it was, I will do my best to maintain world peace! I don't want to affect Heaven and Earth. I only want to have inner peace!"
"…" Mo Junchen could barely control himself. Anyone who obtained such a big Middle-grade Celestial Artifact will have inner peace!
…..
When the palace was taken away, the Concealing Spell was broken automatically. Xu Que and his teammates were exposed on the mountaintop. It was cold and snowing. The river that led to the waterfall dried up. Slowly, the waterfall also dried out. Finally, the waterfall disappeared and the cliff behind it could be seen.
"Hey! Look, there is an ancient city next to the mountainside, where a lot of people seem to be!" Buttface, whose body was covered by snow, shouted as he pointed down at the edge of the mountaintop. From a distance, Buttface looked just like a white wolf in the snow. Xu Que, Duan Jiude, and Mo Junchen walked to the edge of the mountaintop. There they saw Snow Fog City and the people in it.
When they looked down at the people in the city, the elite apprentices of the Sage Sect in the city also looked up at them. The apprentices were shocked. When Xu Que took away the palace, the tremendous noise had attracted the attention of the apprentices. They didn't expect that the waterfall would dry up after a short while. The Holy Water River also stopped flowing and the Celestial Core Power in it started to run off rapidly. The river froze. Then they looked up and saw a giant white wolf on the mountaintop, which seemed like a Snow Wolf King!
After that, they saw another three people on the mountaintop, including a young man, a middle-aged man, and an old man. The young man, who was handsome, had an extraordinary temperament. He had reached the summit of the Human Celestial Stage. The apprentices, who were at the Earth Celestial Stage, sensed something extremely dangerous from that young man. To their surprise, the middle-aged man, who had reached the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage, stood behind the young man. It seemed he was a guardian of that young man.
"It's weird! Who are they? Why are they at Snow Fog Mountain?" An apprentice of the Sage Sect couldn't help but frown.
"Is the young man a descendant of a big shot of our sect?"
"I don't think so. The deacon, who left one year ago, said only the sect leader could go to the top of this mountain. All the rest of the people are not allowed to go there!"
"No, I remember the son of our sect leader used to perform secluded cultivation on the mountaintop for a period of time!"
"The sect leader's son is the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus. And he is the only son of our sect leader. So the sect rules are nothing for him!"
"In this way, the young man on the mountain, who is protected by the Snow Wolf King and a guardian at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage, could also be a son of our sect leader, right?"
"Holy sh*t! It seems I know something I shouldn't know! Our sect leader has a b*stard!"
The apprentices of the Sage Sect kept talking about this issue, but none of them dared to check it out by going up to the mountaintop. After all, the mountainside was full of horrible restrictive spells. They were not able to deliver a message to Xu Que, let alone go up the mountain!
At the same time, Xu Que, who looked at the city for a while, also shook his head. "Forget it! These restrictive spells are too powerful. They can't come here and we can't go down to the city! Even the Celestial Grade Divine Escape Spell couldn't tear the void open here. We have to leave with the Space-Breaking Spell!" Xu Que said as he took out a Space-Breaking Spell.
There was a Void Interface Point on the mountaintop, which was above the position of the palace. This was one of the reasons Xuanyuan Wanrong set up the palace here. With the Void Interface Point, she could go to other worlds by tearing the void open at any time.
"Little brat, let me do that! I know a place that is far away from the Heaven Palace Academy and the Sage Sect. Even if they know where we are, they will have to spend a lot of time in finding us!" At this time, Buttface walked up and said with a smile. Duan Jiude, who realized something, said in surprise, "Do you mean…"
"Exactly!" Buttface nodded his head.
"Could it be…"
"Yes!" Buttface said with a smile as he pointed to the southeast. "The Tianxiang Celestial Realm where the Jade Lake is located!"
