Chapter 1390: Wise Method

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Buttface, what dirty tricks have you got up your sleeve?" Xu Que glared at Buttface and asked angrily.

"How could he not be angry at this moment?"

Buttface was really good at fooling people. He'd unexpectedly deceived everyone, even Xu Que. They'd all assumed that Buttface had become truly loyal, brave, and was willing to risk his life to help Xu Que.

But now it seemed as if it wasn't a question of bravery or loyalty.

Xu Que could tell from the fool's expression that some great gains were waiting for him. This was why he'd acted as he had to deceive everyone and followed Xu Que with all the group admiring his bravery.

"Hee, hee, lad, we're going to make a great profit this time. Can you guess what I've discovered?"

Buttface wore a sheepish look and a wicked smile as he looked at Xu Que

"F*ck! What great profits? I just want to deal with the prophecy and teach Xuanyuan Wanrong a lesson at the same time. That lassie has implicated me and complicated my life for no reason," Xu Que answered Buttface, shaking his head.

He wasn't in the mood for Buttface's fooling, and he didn't have the leisure to care about making any profits.

Buttface continued wearing a lofty look and chuckled. He said, "Lad, my discovery will help you deal with the prophecy, and it can also help us get a large amount of Celestial Core Power."

HISS!

Xu Que sucked in an enormous breath of cold air and opened his eyes wide. "A large amount of Celestial Core Power? What does it look like?"

"It doesn't matter what it looks like. I've said that we will get a large amount of Celestial Core Power, and it's a tremendous amount that will help us advance through several stages." Buttface waved his legs around in an exaggerated fashion to describe the greatness of the amount of Celestial Core Power.

Xu Que stopped making fun of the dog and, with a grave expression, he asked, "Speak, what method?"

"Hee hee, well it's like this…" Buttface had a wicked smile and pointed at the foot of the mountain range. He approached Xu Que's ears and started whispering all about this matter.

At first, Xu Que frowned as he listened, but soon his face relaxed and his eyes lit up. Shortly, he was wearing the same smile as Buttface.

…..

Meanwhile, the rest of the group traveling with Xu Que were still waiting around the entrance to the Celestial Burial Valley.

They hadn't left because they were planning to continue waiting here. They wanted to know how this whole situation would pan out.

After all, only two days were left until Xu Que was supposed to die, as predicted by the prophecy.

SIGH! "I'd assumed that we would be able to finish this journey without a hitch, even though the trip was difficult. I definitely didn't expect that we would face a situation such as this. I guess I got too relaxed because everything had been smooth sailing recently." Duan Jiude looked at the mountain range where Xu Que and Buttface had disappeared. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He felt quite melancholy!

Mo Junchen nodded in agreement and kept his silence. He had a heavy heart.

He held a storage ring in his hand tightly. It had been given to him by Xu Que before he left, and it contained a large amount of Spiritual Stones, Space-Breaking Talismans, and other magical properties.

Even though Xu Que didn't say anything about this, Mo Junchen was aware that Xu Que had handed over all of his possessions to him. If any tragedy really occurred, the stuff in the storage ring was to be given to Liu Jingning.

Xu Que didn't give it to Liu Jingning personally because he was afraid that she would overthink this matter. If he was able to come back, then everything would be fine. But, if he couldn't come back, these treasures would be left for her and they would help her walk down her life's path more easily.

After all, Liu Jingning wasn't like Jiang Hongyan. She didn't have any special physique or any powerful supporters. It wasn't easy for her to walk down her path alone. As for Jiang Hongyan, she had the Body of Heavenly Kismet and her future path would be much easier than Liu Jingning's.

BANG!

At this moment, a loud explosion could be heard from outside of the Celestial Burial Valley.

The noise was transmitted from very far away, and it originated from the sea area at the edge of the Eastern Continent. It sounded as if the sea had been bombarded, and the noise spread to the interior of the Celestial Burial Valley.

HISS! "What's happening?"

"What is going on outside?"

"It seems as if there was an accident on the seacoast of the Eastern Continent." The crowd was startled, and they started discussing this spiritedly.

Duan Jiude held in his hand the little fish he had taken from Buttface. It had previously been dispirited, but suddenly its eyes lit up and it got quite excited.

"They've come over! It's our Sea Tribe's great army, they've finally come over. Now our lord will come and will command the Sea Tribe Army with its million troops to attack the Eastern Continent," the little fish was overjoyed as it shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the expression of the Exploding Heavens Faction members changed drastically.

Would the million troops of the Sea Tribe Army attack their territory?

They all knew clearly that the power of the Sea Tribe Army was much greater than the Four Continents cultivators. The reason why they'd previously managed to hunt down the vanguard was that they were supported by the Eight-Headed Serpent. Now, however, Xu Que had already left. They probably wouldn't be able to hold back the Sea Tribe Army.

HUMPH! "A million troops in the Sea Tribe Army? I'm still here. So, let's see whether they can stir up any trouble," Mo Junchen snorted coldly and looked indifferently at the little fish.

The little fish shouted in a sharp voice, "You…even if you were stronger than you are, you can only contend against the lord of my tribe. Our army with a million troops is rushing over. So, how do you plan to deal with them?"

"Guardian Mo isn't able to attend to all things at the same time. So, I will obstruct the million troops by myself," Liu Jingning's expression had turned ice-cold as she replied in a deep voice.

Her cultivation stage was much lower than Mo Junchen's, but she was still a real expert at the Earth Celestial stage, and the Sea Tribe troops only had people at the Form Synthesis stage, the Crossing Calamity stage, and other low stages. They wouldn't be able to defeat someone at the Earth Celestial stage.

There was a large disparity in number, but someone with power at the Earth Celestial stage wouldn't care about numbers. The Sea Tribe Army's million troops weren���t any different than a million ants to Liu Jingning, and as long as she had a strong Magic Art, she would manage to eradicate them easily.

Moreover, they also had Duan Jiude, who was at the Human Celestial stage, so the Sea Tribe Army's million troops were just a joke.

"You? Is it by depending on you? How is this possible? Your power is…" The little fish wore a mocking look, but when Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude revealed their boundless auras, it cried out in a sharp voice, "Ah! How is…how is this possible? Who are you? Why are you so powerful?"

"Hee, hee, you're really ignorant and stupid. Your Sea Tribe doesn't even know about our Exploding Heavens Faction, yet you still dared to invade the Four Continents? Don't you know who is protecting the Four Continents?" Duan Jiude sneered coldly and grabbed the little fish. He grasped it tightly and he almost tore it apart.

The little fish immediately got better behaved, and it had a frightened and nervous look on its face. After it realized the power of Mo Junchen, Duan Jiude, and Liu Jingning, it got panicky and lost its confidence in the Sea Tribe.

…..

Meanwhile, a lot of things were happening at the Eastern Continent's seacoast.

It seemed as if the sea had been split open by a blade, and the boundless seawater formed two large water walls. There was a broad path between them!

The Sea Tribe Army troops had taken on a half-human appearance and stepped onto the continent's land in an imposing fashion.

The giant turtle was still atop the sea surface, and it seemed like a large island. It observed everything with its shining cold eyes, and it couldn't repress its excitement.

"Lord, our tribe's million troops have already gone ashore and assembled completely. They will all heed and obey your instructions." A Sea Tribe commander clad in silver armor at the Great Vehicle stage knelt on one leg on the ground and bowed toward the turtle. He was quite respectful!

The giant turtle raised its head and its sun-like giant eyes swept all the troops of the Sea Tribe. Soon after, it snorted coldly and said, "I don't have any instructions to give, and I just have one order. If you can't conquer the Celestial Burial Valley in a single day, you will all die. This is why…"

After the turtle spoke, it paused for a moment before it continued in a deep voice. "This is why what you have to do is rush to the depths of the Celestial Burial Valley with no regard to anything else that is happening. Your sole mission is rushing inside."

"Understood!"

The Sea Tribe Army troops all shouted at the same time.

As for the giant turtle, it had already submerged its head in water, and it curled the corners of its mouth into a cold sneer.

The world was heartless and it treated all myriad beings as lowly dogs.

This day's sacrifice would build the Sea Tribe's future.

Chapter 1391: After All, I'll Also Get a Share

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

BANG!

At this moment, Xu Que and Buttface were in the Celestial Burial Valley's Spirit Core Mountain Range.

Buttface kicked at a large boulder. His face was filled with excitement!

"Ha, ha, ha, I feel that I've already approached the Spirit Core's location," Buttface shouted in joy.

Xu Que let out a breath with a smile on his face. He observed the passage that had been made here recently.

The human and dog had bustled around for a day and made a shortcut in the mountain range that led to the Spirit Core's location. At this moment, they had already finished nine-tenths of the passage, and they would shortly get to see the Sea Tribe's almighty being.

"Buttface, I feel like I must ask you this again. Is your memory really reliable?" Xu Que looked at Buttface as he spoke.

"You can set your mind at ease. I've always handled matters promptly and am reliable," Buttface struck out his chest as he made this solemn vow.

"Hee, hee, this is exactly the reason why I had to verify this again," Xu Que answered, laughing and wearing a mocking, yet graceful smile.

"F*ck! This time, I'm really sure of this. Do you think that I want to take any risks? Darn it, If I hadn't suddenly remembered some events from the past, I would've allowed the old b*stard lying underground to get many benefits."

Buttface looked extremely angry. "In the past, my sixth life's self joined hands with him to make this region, and it was used to smelt all the heavenly treasures in the Celestial Burial Valley. Then he mounted a sneak attack on me and inflicted heavy injuries on my sixth life's self. At that time, I had to escape into a distant land, and this is why he occupied this land. Later, he changed its layout and turned it into a Worldly Furnace that would help him achieve his objective."

"Fine, fine. They are all events of a past life. So, why are you so angry? Moreover, don't we now have a chance to get revenge?" Xu Que patted Buttface's head and comforted him with a smile.

As a matter of fact, when Xu Que heard Buttface mention his past life's memory, he found this unreliable.

But this time, Buttface had recalled a complete piece of memory. In his sixth life, Buttface had lived during the last period of the Celestial Emperors Era. At that time, many almighty beings were looking for a way to cross the Law End Era. Buttface chose to join hands with the Sea Tribe's almighty being, and they looked for precious land. In the end, they were successful and found a precious land at the seabed.

They had joined hands to turn the precious land into a furnace that would operate automatically. It would smelt all worldly treasures and spiritual Qi in this precious land. It would be used to preserve the two of them sleeping until they woke up again at the end of the Law End Era.

The method was pretty good, but the Sea Tribe's almighty being betrayed Buttface's sixth life self and mounted a sneak attack on him. He inflicted heavy injuries upon Buttface's sixth life self and forced him to escape from this world.

At that time, the Sea Tribe's almighty being also sustained some injuries, and he could only go back to the seabed and change the layout. He left behind some ancestral teachings before he went into his sleep and shunned the world.

The feats of the Sea Tribe's almighty being were exaggerated in the following years, and he became a legend. People said that he'd had to bury himself because he'd sustained injuries fighting a Celestial Emperor of the Human Clan, and this was why they named this place the Celestial Burial Valley. As a matter of fact, this was just nonsense.

The Sea Tribe's almighty being had exploited the changes of the terrain, and he predicted its future geographical state. This was why he changed the layout so that it would naturally form a Worldly Furnace on this day. It would sacrifice the blood of all myriad beings in the Celestial Burial Valley and strengthen him.

"He made many plans and calculations, yet he still didn't expect that I would come back in this life to wreck his plans. He plotted actively, yet in the end, he will just provide all those benefits to us, won't he?" Buttface took pleasure in this guy's misfortune, and he laughed loudly.

"All right, you have gotten lucky. Continue digging," Xu Que rolled his eyes at him and spoke.

This was very fortunate. However, it was still a pity that he couldn't bring Liu Jingning and the others to share it.

The reason why he could come inside with Buttface was that his fleshly body was quite tough. Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude couldn't resist the influence of this land's Blood Sacrifice, and even Mo Junchen couldn't resist it. After all, even Xu Que who had a second-rate holy physique had to activate the System's automatic recovery ability to persevere and resist the influence of the Blood Sacrifice���s power.

This was why only Xu Que and Buttface could get this great fortune.

"Lad, if we succeed this time, you will manage to advance at least into the peak of the Heaven Celestial stage or even the Taiyi Celestial stage. I feel like you must say something about this," Buttface said, making hints at Xu Que. He wanted to get some benefits!

"Hee , hee, express something? What do you want me to express? The Act-Tough King's Punch or the Act-Tough King's Kick? If they aren't good enough for you, I could also hit you with the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rod, how about it?" Xu Que sneered coldly.

Buttface immediately cowered and said hurriedly, "It's needless, needless. Let's dig quickly, we don't have much time left."

After he spoke, he started using both his hands and legs.

THUMP!

The last layer of earth wasn't able to obstruct Xu Que and Buttface, and it was quickly dug out. They opened a path to the tomb that had been buried underground for innumerable years.

According to reason, the place where the body had been buried should have an adequate defense, but the Sea Tribe's Almighty Being might have slipped about this, assuming that the Worldly Furnace would obstruct everyone from entering this region. Or he might've been too hasty when he entered, and this was why he couldn't set up too many protections around the tomb.

Xu Que and Buttface managed to easily dig out the last layer of soil, and they entered a pitch-black tomb.

This tomb was just a cave with an expanse of a dozen square yards. There was a little room as big as a cottage at the center of the cave made from black jade. One couldn't see what was inside it.

Buttface laughed loudly. "Ha, ha, ha, this old b*stard really used the jade coffin I had prepared for myself. He's really screwed. I'm familiar with the restriction spells on it, and I can open it easily."

"F*ck, Buttface. You're enjoying yourself, aren't you? You prepared this room-like coffin?" Xu Que was left speechless. He could discern through observing this jade room that it was really something built by Buttface.

"Hee, hee, this happened in my past life, and if I prepared one now, I would make it a unique large palace," Buttface spoke proudly.

Xu Que wore a disdainful look. "Unique? You have probably gotten this idea when you saw Xuanyuan Wanrong's palace on the Heaven Continent, didn't you?"

"Nonsense! I've come up with this myself," Buttface shouted forcefully and he wore a shameless look.

Xu Que was amused by this, but he didn't continue mocking him, and he looked at the Black Jade Room.

The room's interior seemed fuzzy from outside and the Jade Room's surface was filled with restriction spells. This could be considered its last defense!

"Lad, let me deal with those restriction spells. But, you must look for a suitable object that I can use to take and restrain this Spirit Core. If we don't do so, all the Celestial Core Power will disappear after the Worldly Furnace is activated, and we won't manage to gather it," Buttface looked at Xu Que and spoke.

Xu Que raised his brows. "Couldn't we use this Jade Room?"

"We can't use it!" Buttface wore a regretful look. "I was too confident in my previous life, and I made perfect restriction spells. If those restriction spells are broken, the Jade Room will also be destroyed."

"Your way of thinking is really extraordinary." Xu Que shook his head. He was left speechless!

"What was the relationship between the perfection and power of the restriction spells and the destruction of the Jade Room?"

However, Xu Que also was against using this Jade Room to absorb the Celestial Core Power.

After all, this Jade Room was a coffin that was once used by someone else, and it would be disgraceful to go inside and lodge in it.

"Forget about it, let's use Xuanyuan Wanrong's palace. There is a Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool inside and that will double the Celestial Core Power's efficiency. I may even get to become a Taiyi Celestial in one go." Xu Que chuckled and waved his hand. He took out the Ice Palace he'd gotten on the Heaven Continent's Icy Mist Mountain.

He reduced the size of the palace and put it next to him. He sat down and waited for Buttface to open the Black Jade Room.

According to their plan, they would take advantage of the time left until the complete operation of the Worldly Operation to throw out the Sea Tribe's almighty being before he awakened and feed him to some dogs.

"Huh? I shouldn't call it feeding it to dogs because this isn't any different than cursing myself. After all, I will also get a share in a short while," Xu Que stroked his chin and muttered in a soft voice.

Chapter 1392: Brother Que Is Awesome

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the Water Nation's Five Elements Mountain, in a desolate area near Snow City, a veiled woman clad in a Taoist robe walked slowly.

She'd restrained her aura so much that her existence was almost overlooked by the people who passed her.

Even though she hid her face, her impressive curves that were covered by the bulky Taoist robe were still eye-catching. But, as she walked down the road, both cultivators and mortals alike minded their own business as if they couldn't even see the woman clad in a Taoist robe.

This was a certain cultivation stage, and it was greater than her previous stage that she had left behind. True powerhouses wouldn't stand out among the crowd. They were able to blend into the world. They were as serene as a grain of dust, and people didn't notice them even if they stood right next to them.

As the woman clad in the Taoist robe walked down the road and observed everything, her pretty eyes lit up, and it seemed like she was reminiscing about past events.

In the end, her gaze fell upon the mouth of a mountain cave that had been sealed for a long time. She had once met a person in this land and his name was Joker.

He was a nobody, yet he'd crossed a mortal life with her in an Illusory Realm. Ten short years in an Illusory Realm weren't any different than scattered smoke, yet they still left a mark in her heart that she hadn't been able to erase.

"Past, present, and future won't arrive again…"

"Red fallen leaves buried in the ground for a long time…"

"The beginning and the end have never changed…"

"You are floating at the horizon beyond the white clouds…"

"A sea of bitterness…"

She opened her rosy mouth and sang a song with her beautiful voice.

This song had previously been sung by that youth in the underground land. She still couldn't forget the refreshing feeling it gave her.

But now, everything had changed.

She had left several years ago and crossed many difficulties to finally find a chance to come over and seek that youth to fulfill their destiny.

It was a pity that he wasn't here!

The heart of the woman clad in the Taoist robe shivered. She went back to the Five Elements Mountain and engulfed everything with her powerful soul, yet she still couldn't find even a wisp of that youth's aura.

There were only two possibilities. The youth had either left many years ago, or he'd already died.

After the woman analyzed both possibilities, she chose the second one.

"After all, the youth had possessed only a low power. So, how would it have been possible for him to easily leave the Five Elements Mountain or even leave the Four Continents?

"This was why he really…wasn't here!

"Exploding Heavens Faction, where are you…?"

A cold light flashed in the woman's eyes. Since she couldn't find Joker, she could only look for Exploding Heavens Faction members and make inquiries. She must find him no matter if he was alive or dead at all costs. Even if she had to defy Heaven, she would still do it to change everything.

She possessed enough confidence and power for this.

…..

Meanwhile, Xu Que and Buttface were in the Celestial Burial Valley within one of the Four Great Continents, the Eastern Continent.

Buttface had already shattered the Black Jade Stone Room and found a coffin within it. The coffin was covered with magic symbols and many thick dark iron shackles that were connected to the ground were all around the coffin.

Obviously, Buttface hadn't expected the shackles, and even Xu Que was surprised by this.

"What's going on? He's in a coffin, but is this necessary?" Xu Que asked in surprise.

After all, according to what Buttface had said, the Black Jade Stone Room's restriction spells were already quite powerful, and no one other than Buttface could break them easily. This was why the Sea Tribe's almighty being didn't have to take this unnecessary action and get a coffin covered with restrictive shackles and magic symbols.

"F*ck! I knew that this old b*stard had focused the Spirit Core's power on this land. He drew power from the terrain, and this power was sent to his body through those dark iron shackles. This way, he doesn't have to spend time cultivating, and he could be invincible once he comes out." Buttface pondered this for a long time before he discovered some clues. Then he spoke with a surprised look plastered on his face.

"Does it still have such a function?" Xu Que was surprised.

This method was really awesome. He would get to sleep for thousands of years in a coffin, and his cultivation stage wouldn't just not drop after he came out. Instead, it would even become stronger. It was awesome!

TSK! TSK! "I could have also used this function, but I disdained to do so." Buttface wore a disdainful look and raised his head proudly.

"I didn't ask you whether you could also use it. I just want to see how you can deal with this coffin." Xu Que glared at Buttface as he spoke.

He didn't have a lot of time left. If he couldn't take out Xuanyuan Wanrong before the beginning of the Worldly Furnace's operation, he would surely die here.

Buttface's plan included taking out the body of the Sea Tribe's almighty being, but his body was protected by dark iron shackles and magic symbols. They wouldn't manage to take out his body easily in a short time.

"Huh? I need some time to ponder properly about this issue." Buttface propped his chin on his paw and wore a pensive look.

Xu Que immediately wanted to slap him, but when his gaze fell upon the coffin, he got an idea.

The Act-Tough King's Leg was able to break restriction spells, and it seemed like those magic symbols were also a type of restriction spell.

"Hey, Buttface, get out of the way. I have a daring idea that I want to try." Xu Que smiled and pushed Buttface out of the way.

"What do you want to do?" Buttface was startled and quite confused.

However, after he spoke, he saw Xu Que lifting his right leg. His leg started shining with a golden light and he waved it at the coffin.

"F*ck!"

THUMP!

As Buttface let out a surprised cry, a loud noise emanated from the coffin.

The innumerable shining magic symbols instantly dimmed, and several cracks appeared on the coffin.

HISS! Buttface sucked in a breath of cold air and looked in shock at Xu Que. "F*ck! Lad, your leg is really too awesome, did you learn this in Shaolin Temple?"

"Those magic symbols are just restriction spells, and they have gone through long years. They don't have their former power. I have the Act-Tough King's Leg and a holy physique. How can I still call myself the Act-Tough Saint if I can't break them with kicks?" Xu Que sneered coldly and spoke imposingly.

As a matter of fact, he'd just wanted to try this, and he hadn't expected that it would be so effective.

After all, the grade of the magic symbols on the coffin was too high, and he couldn't use the Acting Tough Points to destroy them with the current version of the System.

He didn't expect that the combination of the Act-Tough King's Leg and the holy physique would be so effective. He'd managed to break the magic symbols with a single strike, and he even shattered the coffin.

"It seems like it's assured now."

Xu Que chuckled calmly and raised his leg again. He'd consumed 100,000 Acting Tough Points to use the Act-Tough King's Leg before he kicked the coffin without the least bit of hesitation.

BANG!

This time, the whole coffin was broken into pieces, and only wood splinters were left. A dark, swarthy creature fell out of it and rolled several times on the ground without having any reaction.

Buttface looked in surprise and admiration at Xu Que and gave him a thumbs-up. "Brother Que, you are awesome. When it comes to digging out graves and kicking open coffins, you are number one in the world."

"Get lost! Quickly carry this creature, and let's go look for Xuanyuan Wanrong." Xu Que wasn't in the mood to joke with Buttface, and he looked at that black creature with disgust.

There was a dark, swarthy seafood as big as a human on the ground, and he couldn't discern its species even though he was quite experienced and knowledgeable.

Chapter 1393: I Will Accompany You to the End

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Oh gross, I haven't seen this old b*stard for lifetimes, and this is how he ends up. He's horrifying and dirty, and I don't want to carry him on my back," Buttface said as he looked at the creature that had been in the grave with a disgusted look on his face.

"Since you've said this, I'm now really curious. What exactly is the species of this seafood?" Xu Que asked, as he'd been surprised at what had come out of the tomb.

"This is…can't you guess?" Buttface pointed at the creature and turned toward Xu Que. "This is the Sea Tribe's king, and they call it the Sea King."

"Sea King?"

Xu Que raised his brows in wonder. "Is this a sea cucumber?"

The Sea King was what is commonly called a sea cucumber. On Earth, this wasn't just a precious food ingredient, it was also a famous medicinal ingredient. It was even recorded in the Compendium of Medical Herbs. It had a salty flavor, and it was said to nourish kidneys, marrow, and help with urination. It was also thought to cure impotence and was on a par with ginseng.

"That's right, I remember now. You humans also call this a sea cucumber." Buttface nodded as he remembered.

"F*ck! Buttface, this is good stuff. We now have a way to cure your illness," Xu Que spoke with delight as he patted Buttface on the shoulder.

This large sea cucumber was 10,000 years old. They could use it to make a nourishing soup.

"F*ck! When did I get ill?" Buttface asked as he jumped in fright.

"Aren't you a little…that's not right, it isn't just a little…you're very impotent. Buttface, I have to inform you that this sea cucumber is good at strengthening your thing." Xu Que made a silly face as he laughed at Buttface.

Buttface knew Xu Que was teasing him, but he still felt insulted. This was why he promptly yelled, "What the h*ll can it strengthen?"

"That's right, that's right." Xu Que kept on nodding.

"Right…what's right?" Buttface was completely confused.

"F*ck!"

All of a sudden, a loud RUMBLE that was caused by a heavy object falling could be heard echoing all around.

Buttface shouted promptly, "F*ck! I've almost forgotten something. Lad, take him quickly to the palace and let's replace this Spirit Core. If we don't do so, the Spirit Core will collapse."

"F*ck!

Upon hearing this, Xu Que waved his hand. The whole palace shook, and it started flying up.

Buttface carried the sea cucumber on his shoulders with no regard to its dirtiness as he quickly headed out and left this place with Xu Que.

RUMBLE!

The next instant, the Snow Palace fell heavily upon the room that had contained the Black Jade Stone box and the dark iron shackles.

PHEW! "We succeeded." Buttface heaved a sigh of relief when he realized how close they had come to not succeeding.

"Fine, let's not waste our breath. Let's handle our proper business quickly." Xu Que wasn't in the mood to joke with Buttface. Even if this sea cucumber was quite nourishing, this still wasn't a good time to eat it.

Their top priority was an urgent matter related to his survival.

…..

SWOOSH!

After a short while, the human and the dog rushed out of the mountain range. Xu Que took the lead and Buttface, who was carrying the large sea cucumber, followed him closely.

Their objective was quite clear. It was the mountain range where Xuanyuan Wanrong was situated.

According to their time calculations, they had just one last night left. The next day was the day of Xu Que's demise as mentioned in the prophecy.

Success or failure would be determined by this endeavor!

"Lad, if we make the wrong guess, what will happen? If you're really not related to that woman, then everything you've done will bring about your destruction." On their way to the mountain range, Buttface got serious and questioned Xu Que. This was something rarely seen.

His sole worry was karma!

If, in the end, Xu Que died after his arrival in the Four Continents, then the prophecy would be the real reason why Xu Que had died.

This was why Xu Que was gambling with the conclusion. He gambled that his death was going to be due to Xuanyuan Wanrong, as well as the Heavenly Book of Taiyi.

Now, they were going to change where Xuanyuan Wanrong was, and this was tantamount to saving Xuanyuan Wanrong, as well as Xu Que.

"It doesn't matter, there are some things you must do even if you know the final outcome," Xu Que replied calmly.

The prophecy's conclusion was only a path shown to him.

If this path was what he'd hoped for, then he must work harder and do more than before to walk down this path.

If this path was wrong, then he'd still work hard to change it.

This was like having a fortune-teller inform you that you would get very rich. If you stayed at home every day without doing anything, then the result would be the opposite of what the fortune-teller had said.

It was only he himself that could determine his future.

Any prophecy or anything else could just go to h*ll.

One must stop caring about survival and death and do everything one could to change what one couldn't accept.

He didn't just think these thoughts due to his fiery temper. These were his convictions, as well as a type of bravery.

"I have worked hard, and this is why I won't regret what I'm doing no matter what the final outcome. I've done everything just to let people know that my choice was right."

SWOOSH!

As an ear-rending noise exploded around them, Xu Que fell from the sky and landed on a flat altar.

This was the summit of the altar where Xuanyuan Wanrong's body was located, and her coffin, as well as the familiar-looking palace, were underground.

This was probably a woman who'd loved living in palaces.

"Hee, hee, this woman is really fearless. She's still sleeping even when she's at death's door." After Xu Que had examined the region below him with his soul sense, he couldn't help but shake his head and sneer coldly.

He'd managed to detect Xuanyuan Wanrong's aura, and this might've been due to the Heavenly Book of Taiyi. Her aura was quite calm, and this meant that she didn't know anything about the situation in the outside world. She was still sleeping and cultivating in seclusion.

"Lad, I don't think she's sleeping. She probably knows what's going on, but can't do anything about it." Buttface spoke mockingly, as he came over dragging the sea cucumber.

Xuanyuan Wanrong surely knew that there was a Worldly Furnace within the Celestial Burial Valley. If this hadn't been the case, she wouldn't have chosen to take refuge here to avoid the Law End Era.

However, when she'd first entered the Celestial Burial Valley, it hadn't gone through any changes, and Xuanyuan Wanrong was at the center of the Worldly Furnace. This was a treasure land that would help her get many benefits.

But now, the Celestial Burial Valley's mountain range had been relocated and its Spirit Core had been activated. Everything here was slated to become offerings to help the Spirit Core.

Even though the Worldly Furnace still hadn't started operating completely, Buttface didn't believe that Xuanyuan Wanrong wouldn't detect the large Blood Sacrifice influence.

SIGH! "I can't do anything about this. If she hadn't forcefully pulled me into the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, I wouldn't have to run over here to save her, would I?" As Xu Que spoke, he got angry. He'd been implicated by another person for no reason, and his life was threatened. The crux of the issue was that he didn't get any benefits from their association, yet they would still share life and death. This was a great scam!

"Forget about it, isn't it all because you have bad luck?" Buttface made a face at him, and glee was apparent on his face. It was obvious that he took pleasure in Xu Que's misfortune!

But when Xu Que glared at him the next moment, Buttface cowered and looked anxious. He said sternly, "Lad, I made calculations on my fingers and I think we're late. We should quickly activate the altar."

"Hee, hee, so you do know fear? Your eyesight is better than before." Xu Que chuckled.

He strode toward the center of the altar. His gaze penetrated the altar and swept the region beneath it.

The palace was still as before, and it had an intact ice coffin beneath it. Xuanyuan Wanrong's body could be clearly seen there.

She had a beautiful face with an ice-cold air that would prevent anything from approaching her. Her eyes were closed, and she lay calmly in the coffin. This sight resembled a breathtaking painting. No one would ever imagine that it was real.

TSK! "What's so great about being pretty? Someone with your bad temper deserves to stay single," Xu Que ridiculed her. He wasn't in the mood to admire her beauty.

However, as his voice echoed, a SWOOSH could be heard, and Xuanyuan Wanrong opened her eyes. She looked attentively at Xu Que.

Meanwhile, the Firestorm Wheels in the System storage started shivering intensely. It seemed as if the two souls were stimulated by something. They were angry, and they tried to rush out. The two souls' murderous aura locked onto Xu Que.

F*ck!

Xu Que jumped in fright, and then he got angry.

He was aware that the two souls had released their murderous aura because Xuanyuan Wanrong's murderous aura had targeted him.

Xu Que was displeased by this. "I've come back from the Heaven Continent with great difficulty to save you, yet you want to kill me? Do you think that I'm just trying to scare people?

"A saint once said, you should always stick to your guns. Today, I will accompany you until the end."

Soon after, Xu Que hardened his heart and summoned his courage. He became more daring due to his anger.

He looked attentively at Xuanyuan Wanrong within the ice coffin. He used his most imposing manner and didn't cower. He shouted loudly, "Please forgive my impudence."

Chapter 1394: I Won't Live

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"F*ck! Why are you yelling? You scared me and made me jump with fright," Buttface, who was standing behind Xu Que, jumped up suddenly and yelled at Xu Que with an infuriated look on his face.

"Shut up!" Xu Que turned around and berated him, "You are on hallowed ground. So please keep your silence, and don't disturb the fairy."

"F*ck! Lad, have you gone crazy? You didn't say this before." Buttface's eyes were wide open. He found this whole situation unbelievable!

Xu Que had unexpectedly called Xuanyuan Wanrong a fairy. Buttface was dumbfounded by his attitude.

"What don't you understand? This fairy is so noble and outstanding. This is why we must treat her with reverence, and we mustn't affront her," Xu Que spoke solemnly while casting a glance at the ice-cold coffin underground.

Buttface instantly understood the implication of Xu Que's glance, and he had an idea. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "I've just recalled that this is Fairy Xuanyuan's residence. Lad, get out of the way, I must kneel three times and kowtow nine times to her."

The corners of Xu Que's mouth twitched, and he cursed to himself. He had just realized that he wasn't as good as Buttface at boot-licking.

SWOOSH!

At this moment, the Firestorm Wheels in the System storage calmed down. The two souls curbed their murderous auras and weren't agitated any longer.

It was obvious that this meant that Xuanyuan Wanrong's murderous aura had also disappeared, and she wasn't targeting Xu Que any longer.

Xu Que heaved a sigh of relief and said to himself, "That was a close call!"

He had almost forgotten that the two souls in the Firestorm Wheels were Xuanyuan Wanrong's parents. This had been just a guess, but it seemed from the current situation that it was likely true.

A while ago, he'd offended Xuanyuan Wanrong, and this was why the two souls had released their murderous aura targeting Xu Que. It was obvious that he as the impostor child had been defeated by the real child.

"Is your body able to withstand the furnace's power?" All of a sudden, Xuanyuan Wanrong's ice-cold, yet sweet-sounding, voice echoed in Xu Que's mind.

She was transmitting her voice to him. She was surprised that Xu Que could come over without sustaining any harm.

However, her words demonstrated that Buttface's previous guess had been correct. Xuanyuan Wanrong was aware of the presence of the Worldly Furnace, and she knew that the Spirit Core had shifted to another region. However, she still hadn't come out, and it was obvious that she wasn't able to break this region's restriction spells.

"Huh? What furnace?" Xu Que started playing dumb, and he wore a confused look as he questioned her.

"The furnace's power," Xuanyuan Wanrong replied indifferently.

Xu Que said, "What power?"

"The furnace's power," Xuanyuan Wanrong repeated herself.

"I know what you're talking about," Xu Que nodded.

Xuanyuan Wanrong had discerned that he was just playing dumb, and this was why she didn't bother questioning him further. She realized that he didn't want to speak about this.

In her eyes, this guy had many secrets and all kinds of strange stories. In the past, his cultivation stage had been just at the Great Vehicle stage, but he'd still managed to escape from in front of her eyes. Now, many years had passed and he'd already advanced into the peak Earth Celestial stage. It really didn't seem strange for him to be able to resist the power of the furnace.

However, this also meant that the Worldly Furnace's complete operation hadn't started yet. Once it was activated, the blood of all beings would be sacrificed, and there wouldn't be any escape from it.

"It's a pity that you have come so late, you won't manage to break this land's restriction spell in several hours with your current power. If you had accepted to lend me a part of your life span in the past, I wouldn't have had to pull you into the Heavenly Book of Taiyi. Now, it's too late for anything," Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke calmly as if she didn't care about her imminent death.

She assumed that Xu Que knew everything. She wouldn't be able to escape after the Worldly Furnace was activated, and Xu Que would also be implicated. He would die with her.

"Why don't we discuss this? Just look at me, I'm still so young and handsome. I have promising future prospects. Why did you have to drag me down to die with you? Why don't you come up with a way to erase my name from the Heavenly Book of Taiyi," Xu Que said with a smile.

Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was still within the coffin, frowned. She was surprised by Xu Que's indifference. After all, this was related to his death or survival.

As for erasing his name from the Heavenly Book of Taiyi…

She could only shake her head, "If I was able to alter the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, I would've erased my name long ago."

"Then let's change the conditions. I can save you, but you must satisfy three of my requests," Xu Que spoke and raised three fingers.

Xuanyuan Wanrong was taken aback by this. "Can you lift this land's seal? This is impossible. There are only several hours left for the Worldly Furnace to start complete operation. How can you lift the seal in this short time?"

"Don't worry about this. I have my own way to achieve it. But you must take an Inner Demon Oath that you will unconditionally satisfy three of my requests," Xu Que spoke quite forcefully.

Xuanyuan Wanrong stayed calm, and she looked at Xu Que for a moment before she closed her eyes and said, "I don't have to agree to this. If you want to live, you have to lift this land's seal."

Xuanyuan Wanrong's implication was quite obvious. "I will lie here, and it's up to you to save me or not. If you save me, both of us will live, and if you don't save me, we will die together."

If an ordinary person had run into such a fierce person, they could only compromise. After all, one's life was important.

But Xu Que had never been an ordinary person, and no one was fiercer and crazier than him.

"Fine, I won't continue living. I will die with you," Xu Que replied bluntly and stuck two fingers together. Several wisps of Celestial Core Power formed illusory swords that swept a boulder.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

As the illusory swords hit the boulder, they turned it into a rectangular stele. Several crooked words were carved on it that said, Xu Que's Grave.

Soon after, he lay on the ground and raised one leg over the other and propped his head up with his hand. He faced Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was in the ice coffin, and said with a smile. "In any case, if I save you, I'll be troubled by you many times. So why don't we just die together? I may not even necessarily die, and, as a matter of fact, I still have a treasure that will protect my life one time. I will gamble with you, and let's see whether that treasure can help withstand this calamity."

Xu Que wasn't boasting this time. He remembered that the System had a one-time use function that would unconditionally protect him from death one time. He could only use it one time in his life, and this was why Xu Que had never used it. After all, this was only his second life, and he wouldn't use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

But this time, he wanted to face Xuanyuan Wanrong stubbornly and strongly until the end.

"There isn't anything in the world that can resist a Worldly Furnace or the Heavenly Book of Taiyi's Destiny Link. You've assumed that everything is so simple," Xuanyuan Wanrong replied calmly.

"I will then gamble with you. It isn't like I've never lost. In the past, Germany's national team didn't even get into the next round in a small competition. So, why do I have to fear this?" Xu Que wore an indifferent look as if he didn't care about life and death, and he spoke carelessly.

Xuanyuan Wanrong got very quiet. She didn't believe that Xu Que really dared to gamble with her.

But also she didn't want to die, and she still had a wish that she'd had all her life. She lived just for this objective, and she must accomplish it.

"Speak! What are your three requests?" In the end, Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke calmly and her voice reverberated in Xu Que's mind.

As a WHOOSH echoed out, Xu Que jumped up from the ground and patted his body to dust it off. Soon after, he said with a smile, "My first request is that I want you to satisfy ten of my requests."

Chapter 1395: Hurry Up, It's Now!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A chilly air instantly swept Xu Que with a swoosh without any warning.

Xuanyuan Wanrong fumed inside. "This guy is too wicked. We had agreed on three requests, yet his first one is to make me accept 10 more."

Even an ordinary person would get angry with Xu Que, let alone Xuanyuan Wanrong. "Do you take me for a genie?"

Xu Que replied calmly to her, "Hey, hey, don't get angry. I was just joking, really. You don't have any sense of humor. If you ever have a child in the future, don't you think you'll scare him acting like that?"

He was forced to calm her because, even though he wasn't afraid of her, her parents' souls in the Firestorm Wheels wanted to kill him again.

It was fortunate that Xuanyuan Wanrong didn't get angry this time and just ignored Xu Que's nonsense. She said simply, "If you still haven't come up with any requests, let me know later when you think of them. I've already promised, and I will honor my word. But, if you make that request again, I will pay no heed to you."

At this moment, she stopped transmitting her voice, and it reverberated throughout the altar.

Buttface jumped in fright and wore a tense look, but soon after his expression became solemn as he glared at Xu Que.

"As a matter of course, this type of request is excessive, even if it is from you." With an understanding look, Xu Que nodded in response to Xuanyuan Wanrong.

Upon seeing this, Buttface chimed in. "Brother Que, what you have requested is really out of line."

"F*ck!" thought Xu Que.

"Is it any of your goddamn business?" Xu Que glared and thought, "This fool is trying to stir up trouble again. Is what I have done that out of the question? You just heard what Xuanyuan Wanrong said, yet you contend it's not possible?"

With righteous loyalty, Buttface shouted, "Humph! I've stood here and listened for a while, and I can't stand listening to this any further. Even if I must starve to death today, die in the streets, or jump from this spot, I will not put up with the excessive requests you keep demanding from Fairy Xuanyuan."

"F*ck!"

Xu Que widened his eyes and held himself back from beating Buttface.

"Darn it!" Xu Que thought. "He's making use of everything to his gains. Xuanyuan Wanrong just transmitted her voice, and this fool didn't hear a thing. It's only when her voice reverberated atop the altar that this fool heard several crucial keywords. And then he quickly seized the chance to fawn all over her. How extraordinary!"

"Fairy Xuanyuan, just accept two of my requests. That's right: You didn't hear me wrong. I have only two requests, and I will help you get out of here." Buttface raised his paw and tried to rob Xu Que of business.

"F*ck! Buttface, are you tired of living? Are you trying to steal my business?" Xu Que opened his eyes wide and angrily glared at him.

"Brother Que, it isn't appropriate of you to say this. I just can't bear observing this. Fairy Xuanyuan is so outstanding, so how can you raise excessive demands and make her accept three requests? That is too outrageous!" Buttface wore a wicked smile and solemnly looked at Xu Que. He resembled the complacent and treacherous court eunuch.

Xu Que whipped out the Act Tough King's Purple Gold Rod from his crotch without uttering another word. He sneered and said, "Buttface, did you hear about the set of rod techniques that fell from the sky? People called them the Thirsty-Six Dog-Hitting Rod Techniques."

"Huh? Que… Brother Que, wait! Please forgive my impudence." Buttface promptly cowered and imitated Xu Que's words as he earnestly apologized.

Xu Que was both annoyed and amused by this. When he was about to speak, Xuanyuan Wanrong's ice-cold voice reverberated again from atop the altar. "If you have come here just to quarrel, then I don't mind sending both of you down."

Faint anger was discernable from her tone.

"It's obvious that the former outstanding Heaven Palace Sect's building head had her own pride. Xu Que and Buttface created a disturbance and act as if they are alone here. They treated me like thin air!"

Begging for forgiveness, Buttface shouted at the top of his lungs, "Fairy Xuanyuan, I have made a mistake, and I'm guilty. I'm inhuman. Please forgive me." He begged as if he had committed a hideous crime.

Xu Que wore a disgusted and disdainful look as he cast a glance at Buttface and shook his head.

Soon after, he looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong and said with a smile, "Don't get anxious… We still have a lot of time. In addition, my first request is quite simple. I hope that you will leave the Celestial Burial Valley promptly after I save you, no matter what happens later, and you shouldn't take a step into it before I come out… How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Wanrong's eyes snapped open, and their iciness glared at Xu Que from within the coffin. They were chilling.

Even if she didn't speak, one could still understand her gaze's implication, but she made sure. "Do you dare to order me?"

"How about it? Didn't you say that you'd keep your promise? Is this how you do that? Is this how you should treat a Prince Charming?" Xu Que sneered coldly and questioned her mockingly.

Anger spread across Xuanyuan Wanrong's face. Even if she had a better temper, it would still be difficult for her to bear looking at Xu Que's wretched expression.

From within the ice coffin, Xuanyuan Wanrong's chest started heaving up and down as she restrained her anger with great difficulty. She soon took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I can't accept this request. I can guess what you want to do, but it seems to me that you won't be able to devour this land's fortune. You are just seeking death, and your life is connected to me."

"So?" Xu Que asked with a smile.

"This is why I won't leave the Celestial Burial Valley, but I also won't meddle in your affair. But, if your life is in danger, I will carry you out," Xuanyuan Wanrong replied calmly.

"Okay, it's a deal." Xu Que clapped in agreement.

Standing next to him, Buttface looked dumbstruck and transmitted his voice to Xu Que. "Brother Que, you are awesome. You tricked her and made her propose to protect you on her own accord, didn't you?"

Xu Que glared at him and said, "Nonsense, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

In fact, he really had wanted to trick Xuanyuan Wanrong. If he had proposed what he really wanted, someone with Xuanyuan Wanrong's bad temper and harsh character would likely turn "not meddling" and "saving him" into two requests, and he would suffer a great loss.

This was why he deliberately acted like he did not want Xuanyuan Wanrong there and wanted to take risks alone. Xuanyuan Wanrong was afraid that she would be implicated in his death, which was why she had proposed on her own accord what he wanted.

This was a great fortune, as he would face the attack of a large amount of Celestial Core Power. He was afraid that his body wouldn't be able to bear it, and this would be too risky without a guardian.

Because Xuanyuan Wanrong had already agreed, her character surely wouldn't allow someone like her to renege on the deal, and she wouldn't covet taking his Celestial Core Power.

The current outcome was exactly what Xu Que wanted.

"You should start working," Xuanyuan Wanrong's apathetic voice echoed out. It sounded commanding, with no way of knowing whether or not she spoke like that on purpose.

Xu Que was displeased by this but helpless.

He couldn't do anything against this because his life was connected to her, and he also carried her parents' souls with him.

But, as the proverb said, "A real man doesn't fight with womenfolk."

"In addition, I'm not a narrow-minded person. So, why would I bother with this trifle?"

"Fine! As a matter of fact, releasing you isn't difficult, but I hope that you will cooperate with me. You must read several incantations along with me."

Xu Que looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong within the coffin and spoke in a deep voice.

Xuanyuan Wanrong muttered to herself for a short while before she said calmly, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Xu Que took the horse stance as if he would do something great. He started waving his hands in the air at will and released several wisps of Celestial Core Power, which landed on the magic symbols on the altar.

Soon after, he looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong and shouted, "Hurry up, it's now! Read them loudly along with me: Husband, Ganbatte, husband, I love you. Husband. Yamete, Ikke Ikke."

Chapter 1396: Please, Stop Acting So Stupid!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Kemochi!"

As Xu Que's last shout echoed out, he put his palm on the ground. The whole altar's magic symbols were now filled with Celestial Core Power and they started shining.

Buttface was stunned and thought inwardly, "Brother Que is versatile and able. He's so adept, even at Japanese."

From the ice coffin, Xuanyuan Wanrong furrowed her brows again. She was skeptical because the "curse" chanted by Xu Que was too strange. She had never heard such words.

And she faintly felt that those unfamiliar words were terrible.

In addition, Xu Que's expression was solemn, as if he was facing a great danger. He even shouted at her anxiously and asked her to chant them.

Xuanyuan Wanrong felt like a great accident might occur if she didn't chant them.

"Husband!" In the end, she chose to speak.

Xuanyuan Wanrong still found this curse too strange, but she wasn't suspicious of it any longer.

After all, in her eyes, no matter which curse Xu Que made her chant, it wouldn't be able to harm her. In addition, this guy had shown her many strange objects in the past, and she had a deep impression of them. This was why she didn't think much of those curses.

"Ganbatte, husband, I love you. Husband. Yamete, Ikke Ikke. Kemochi!"

Xuanyuan Wanrong yelled the whole sentence without a hitch.

Her tone remained ice cold, as if she was reading from a script, but Xu Que, who desired revenge, was satisfied.

Xu Que revealed a smile and gave Xuanyuan Wanrong a thumbs-up. He then praised her, saying, "You have shouted it well. You can set your mind at ease: This is in the bag, and I will shortly release you."

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Xuanyuan Wanrong's apathetic and delicate face.

When Xu Que saw this, he almost fell into a stupor and thought he might have seen a ghost. This woman unexpectedly could smile, and she was so pretty when she did. His delicate heart almost started beating wildly.

However, he couldn't continue teasing Xuanyuan Wanrong because the altar was already activated, and he had to handle business.

Xu Que turned his head around and yelled at Buttface, "Buttface, it's your turn."

"Okay! Brother Que, you are awesome!"

Buttface flattered him before dragging the large sea cucumber over. He was smiling even though he was cursing inwardly.

As a matter of fact, the person who would work hard for Xuanyuan Wanrong was him alone, and Xu Que didn't provide any help.

As long as Celestial Core Power was poured into this altar, it would be activated. Anyone could do this, but only Buttface could decipher the magic symbols on the altar.

He recalled a part of his sixth life's memory, and this was why he had such a good understanding of everything related to the Celestial Burial Valley. This included the Magic Symbol Restrictive Spells he had learned in the past, and he had mastered many of them. Now, as he observed the magic symbols on the altar, he didn't find them cryptic and abstruse any longer.

A deafening bang sounded as Buttface let go of the large sea cucumber and stepped heavily on a magic symbol.

Several cracks instantly appeared on the symbol, but the altar wasn't broken, and the power released by the magic symbol started spreading quickly as if it had cracked.

In the next moment, Buttface waved his paw to release Celestial Core Power. He opened a seal to move the fragments and then quickly waved his paw again atop the altar.

At first glance, Buttface looked like a silly dog dancing on the altar, with moves so outstanding that they would amaze an audience.

The effects of his moves became obvious when the fragments, controlled by Buttface, followed a special path and started flying around above the altar. In the end, they slowly formed a unique totem that floated above it.

Buttface turned his head around and shouted at Xu Que, "Lad, it's now!"

Xu Que rushed swiftly to Buttface's side, raised his right leg, and kicked the large sea cucumber.

The giant sea cucumber flew into the air with a thump and spun like a large black ball. It fell accurately in the middle of the totem drawn by Buttface.

The totem dissipated and turned into innumerable gold and silver threads, which intertwined around the sea cucumber like tentacles and tied it tightly before pressing it against the ground.

"Is this… the Void Restriction Spell?"

Xuanyuan Wanrong couldn't see the altar from within the ice coffin, but she detected a mysterious power flowing toward her.

Having seen this power once before, she recognized it. This power fused with the altar that imprisoned her and contained a powerful Void Force, a type of Restriction Spell formed by the Void Law. It was classified as a High-Level Celestial Art.

A loud rumble emanated from the altar as dazzling light streamed from the totem that had captured the sea cucumber. The light then turned into a giant light beam that soared into the sky.

Black clouds suddenly filled the sky and began churning intensely like sea waves in a storm. The weather then changed, and all Spiritual Qi in the surroundings madly rushed over like a tide.

Both wearing sunglasses and faintly smiling, Xu Que and Buttface coordinated well together as they crossed their respective hands and paws in front of their chests while calmly observing everything.

In the end, as an ear-piercing noise echoed out, the space around the totem in the altar became distorted. The radiance disappeared, and the clouds in the sky also dissipated. Everything regained its calm.

The region where the totem was situated had turned into a smooth stone surface.

Not only did the magic symbols disappear, but even the large sea cucumber was gone. It had been replaced by a pretty woman clad in white clothes.

She stood calmly in the same spot and observed her surroundings as if she was examining her domain.

She seemed like a goddess who had walked out of a painting and blended into the Celestial Burial Valley's majestic scenery. The region where she stood was no different than the beauty of a painting. She was sacred.

Suddenly, the piercing sound of a guitar disrupted the serene scene.

Buttface was holding a guitar, and Xu Que held a microphone as he placed a loudspeaker next to his feet. He then started singing in a loud voice.

"Love is like a storm befalling a boundless azure sky filled with white clouds…

"None could escape it, and it will always catch people off guard…

"A human is like this, if he catches a cold. He will sneeze, and if he gets a fever, he will rest…

"Cold and heat alternation, love and hesitation. I enjoy this, and I won't get tired of it…"

After singing up to this part, Buttface and Xu Que looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong and shouted toward the loudspeaker at the same time, "I gift this song 'Answer' to Fairy Xuanyuan! Congratulations on your return to the mortal world!"

After singing, they threw the guitar and microphone aside and started clapping loudly.

"Their enthusiasm and flattery are distinct boot-licking!" Xuanyuan Wanrong thought.

Xuanyuan Wanrong looked startled, amazed by Xu Que's song. She had never heard this strange song before, nor one so frank and interesting, but she still thought it was pleasant to the ear.

Her face, however, quickly recovered its usual, indifferent look, and she looked playfully at Xu Que. "Did you finally become afraid after I came out?"

She had already seen through Xu Que's character and usual conduct. He wasn't any different than a street thug, and he was a shameless rascal. In addition, he had acted rudely in front of her many times.

Now, Xu Que was singing, applauding, and fawning all over her, so it was obvious that he was afraid of her.

"Afraid? What should I be afraid of? Master, you have overthought this." Xu Que wore an innocent-looking smile and chuckled as he spoke.

"Master?" she thought.

Upon hearing this word, Xuanyuan Wanrong became angry, even more so when she saw Xu Que's smile.

She had been deceived by Xu Que's smile in the past, when she had rashly taken him on as a disciple. Now, she already knew that he was a shameless rascal, but all she could do was lament that she had been as blind as a bat.

After all, this guy wasn't just an unofficial disciple that she had taken on; he was also a Heaven's Chosen selected by her and her foreordained Cultivation Companion. From now on, they would share both life and death.

Xu Que's expression changed suddenly, and he looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong before asking, "Well, what's the matter? Did you smell something burning?"

Xuanyuan Wanrong was startled and furrowed her brows. She glanced at her surroundings but didn't see anything peculiar.

Buttface twitched his nose and sniffed the vicinity before he shook his head and said, "There isn't anything here. Where is there any burning smell?"

Xu Que didn't pay heed to Buttface and looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong with a caring expression on his face. He said with a faint smile, "It's because my heart is burning for you."

Soon after, he clutched his chest and wore a pained look as he said, "Ah! My heart is quite heavy, very heavy and stuffy…"

In the next moment, he relaxed his brows again and smiled at Xuanyuan Wanrong. He said, "It turns out that my heart was already filled up by you."

In an instant, the ambiance became heavy.

Buttface knelt and hit the ground as he shouted, "Brother Que, please, stop acting so stupid!"

Chapter 1397: Your Life Experience

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Buttface's face beamed with admiration as he looked at Xu Que in esteem.

His mind began to wander. "Uttering words of love out of the blue is incomparable and would amaze anyone. In addition, every word would give people goosebumps."

This was why Buttface was won over by this. Xu Que's gall was huge since he dared to direct such words to Xuanyuan Wanrong. In any case, Buttface didn't dare to do so.

Xuanyuan Wanrong, however, still wore a playful look as she gazed calmly at Xu Que. She wasn't affected by his cheesy words of love.

She squinted her eyes and put on a fake smile as she said, "If you want your heart to burn due to me or if you want me to fill your heart, I can do it and fulfill your wish."

Xu Que promptly waved his hand at her and said, "No, please no… I was just joking, just joking. How can you take this seriously?"

He was sure that Xuanyuan Wanrong would do everything she said she would. She was insensitive and couldn't understand the implication of these words of love. She understood only their literal meaning and was really emotional.

If Xu Que didn't explain that it was just a joke, Xuanyuan Wanrong might have really taken out his heart in the next moment and burned it, perhaps even penetrating it.

After all, even if the heart of someone at Xu Que's level was harmed, he still would be safe and sound and able to recover completely, but intense pain was unavoidable, and he didn't want to suffer Xuanyuan Wanrong's torment for no reason.

Xuanyuan Wanrong was disinclined to argue with Xu Que over those words, and she swept the underground with her pretty eyes.

She had laid in the sparkling palace's ice coffin for several tens of thousands of years and, as she observed it now, she had peculiar feelings about it.

At this moment, though, something black was laying in her ice coffin. Its skin had thorns, and it seemed dirty, dried, and ugly.

"You have unexpectedly brought out this thing, haven't you?" Xuanyuan Wanrong was surprised by this and she looked at Xu Que and Buttface.

Xu Que chuckled. "It turns out that you also know of its existence, so it seems like you have seized his domain deliberately."

Xuanyuan Wanrong replied with a calm look on her face, "This land becomes a part of the continent, so it's also part of our Human Clan's domain. It isn't related to the Sea Tribe, so how can you say that I seized it?"

Xu Que was at a loss for words. She used the same logic as bandits, and he really couldn't retort back.

Xuanyuan Wanrong continued. "But you have really surpassed my expectations. You have unexpectedly gotten the Void Restriction Spell, as well as managed to shift my location with this Sea Tribe member. You have allowed me to go out in advance without breaking the seal." Her tone was calmer than before, and it was obvious that she was quite satisfied with the performance of Xu Que and Buttface.

"Fairy Xuanyuan, we don't deserve praise. It's an honor for me to serve you." Buttface praised her with a humble look plastered on his face.

He had only managed to recall this Void Restriction Spell because he recovered a part of his sixth life's memory within the Celestial Burial Valley.

However, he had only superficial knowledge about it, and the real Void Restriction Spell was much stronger than this. He had only managed to learn some superficial knowledge about it by chance in his sixth life.

With a disdainful look, Xu Que said, "Buttface, can you fawn over her even more? Don't you have any self-respect?"

Buttface was about to retort back but, when he discerned that Xuanyuan Wanrong's gaze fell again upon Xu Que, an odd expression appeared on his face and he started sizing up Xu Que.

Xu Que warily moved back several steps. "What are you looking at? I don't allow people to look casually at my handsome face."

"You have a certain strange aura that seems related to me. I had assumed previously that it was just a false feeling, but I still can't get rid of it even now," Xuanyuan Wanrong replied bluntly.

Xu Que came up with some crazy nonsense. "Huh? This is… quite normal. You probably don't know it, but it's related to my face. I'm so handsome that women find me quite attractive."

He obviously knew why Xuanyuan Wanrong had this feeling—It was because of the two souls in the Firestorm Wheels. Those were the souls of her parents.

But Xu Que still didn't dare to inform her of the truth.

No one knew whether or not she was aware of what her parents suffered, and no one knew whether or not he would suffer if she learned that he used her parents' souls as a bodyguard.

This was why Xu Que chose to hide this for now, and after they left the Celestial Burial Valley, he would give back the two souls to Xuanyuan Wanrong and turn around to escape. At that moment, those matters weren't related to him any longer.

"I have said that it's a strange aura, and it isn't related to your face." Xuanyuan Wanrong shook her head while still looking at Xu Que.

If Xu Que wasn't nominally her Cultivation Partner, she would have already taken him down to observe him carefully.

Buttface acted as if he was observing the sky's changes before yelling at Xu Que, "Ah! Brother Que, there are only a few hours left until daybreak. We must seize the moment and go back to make preparations."

He wasn't helping Xu Que out of the goodness of his heart; he was afraid that he would be beaten after this affair was exposed. After all, it was he who had instigated Xu Que to bring the two souls with them and show off everywhere. This was why he was an accomplice.

"Ah, I have forgotten our proper business. We must quickly set off."

Xu Que promptly responded to Buttface's words and looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong, saying, "What is so strong about a strange aura? You've written my name in the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, and it's obvious that our destinies are connected. Some strange matters will obviously occur."

After he spoke, he beckoned Buttface. This human and dog coordinated well, and they flew into the air and rushed toward the former mountain range.

Xuanyuan Wanrong stood in the same place and looked in confusion at Xu Que's backside. She muttered in a soft voice, "His body has a faint Bloodline Aura… Is he a descendant of my Xuanyuan Clan?"

After Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke, her body shivered. "I have written his name in the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, and we have become Cultivation Partners, so if he's my clan's descendant, won't I have…"

The realization was troublesome, and Xuanyuan Wanrong's expression turned grave and flustered.

By now, Xu Que and Buttface had already made it back to the former mountain range, and they looked at each other with fright apparent on their faces.

"F*ck! Lad, did she discover it already?" Buttface was frightened, and he looked repeatedly behind him to see if Xuanyuan Wanrong was chasing after them.

"You can set your mind at ease. I have a good understanding of her, and I'm confident she doesn't know. We wouldn't have managed to get back here so easily if she had figured it out," Xu Que said calmly with a smile.

If someone with Xuanyuan Wanrong's character discovered that he had her parents' souls, she would have attacked and taken them by force.

Buttface heaved a sigh of relief and then urged Xu Que by saying, "Fine. Then let's stop waiting and get inside so she won't discover any peculiarities once she comes back in a bit."

"That's reasonable!" Xu Que nodded in agreement with Buttface.

He hoped that another incident wouldn't occur before he managed to seize the imminent fortune, but just as he was about to enter the palace, a strong wind blew in from behind.

With a swoosh, a silhouette appeared in front of him. It was Xuanyuan Wanrong.

She looked at Xu Que attentively with a grave look and spoke in a deep voice. "I must discuss a certain matter with you related to your past history."

Chapter 1398: I'm Coming!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Past history?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Que was startled. "Why'd she suddenly want to talk about past history?"

"What exactly had Xuanyuan Wanrong learned about his past history?"

Whether in his previous life on Earth or in his current life in the world of cultivators, Xu Que had always been an orphan, and, for this reason, he didn't have any interest in stories of his past.

And so, at this moment, Xu Que looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong calmly and said with a smile, "What past history?"

Xuanyuan Wanrong was surprised by Xu Que's reaction, and she frowned as she spoke, "A little while ago, I said that your body had a strange aura. As a matter of fact, it's a bloodline aura. It isn't related to the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, but a real bloodline connection. You're most likely a descendant of my Xuanyuan Clan."

"Huh?"

Xu Que was dumbfounded. "A Xuanyuan Clan descendant?"

"Darn it! This joke had gone too far!"

"I've always been in the ice coffin whenever I've seen you, and this is why I wasn't able to sense your body. However, now that I've come out of the coffin, I've been able to detect a familiar bloodline aura on your body. It's quite faint, but it definitely demonstrates that you are related to the Xuanyuan Clan," Xuanyuan Wanrong said with a grave expression on her face.

Xu Que and Buttface exchanged a stealthy glance. They were on the verge of breaking out into laughter.

Xuanyuan Wanrong didn't know what was going on, but wicked Buttface and Xu Que knew it clearly. The reason why Xuanyuan Wanrong had detected a faint bloodline aura on Xu Que was because of the two souls inside the Firestorm Wheels. She'd misunderstood where this faint aura had come from and assumed it came from Xu Que. This was why she had taken him for a descendant of the Xuanyuan Clan.

Xu Que found this misunderstanding quite interesting.

Xu Que's expression changed promptly, and his face became filled with surprise. "What? Am I a descendant of the Xuanyuan Clan? How is this possible?"

"Is brother Que's identity this amazing?" Buttface also joined in the fun, while wearing a shocked expression.

Xuanyuan Wanrong's reaction stayed calm, but grave, as she said softly, "This is why we must discuss this issue concerning the Heavenly Book of Taiyi. We were appointed as partners by the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, and we are partners chosen by Heaven. However, if we're both members of the Xuanyuan Clan, then this is a disgraceful matter that goes against social norms."

"Huh? I don't agree. After all, this is a union that was predestined by Heaven. So how can it be called a disgraceful matter against social norms?" Xu Que shook his head slowly.

Xuanyuan Wanrong frowned. "People connected by blood have a familial union. So this other is a disgraceful matter against social norms."

Xu Que opened his eyes wide. "Why do you care about what society thinks? It's Heaven's selection that is the most important."

"….." Xuanyuan Wanrong stopped talking and looked at Xu Que with a peculiar expression. She couldn't accept his worldview.

Finally, Xu Que couldn't keep up the act any longer, and so he quickly waved his hands and said, "I agree that what you've said is right. If news about this spread all around, it would really be disgraceful. What can I do about this? It's you who took a fancy to me in the past."

After Xu Que finished speaking, he stroked his cheeks and sighed with emotion. "My mesmerizing features are the reason why you've committed such a grave sin."

"Shut up!" Xuanyuan Wanrong finally got angry. She couldn't bear Xu Que's infuriating attitude. He'd always talk about his face any chance he got as if handsomeness was some extraordinary matter.

"Brother Que, this is really very serious. If you and Xuanyuan Wanrong belong to the same clan, then you must follow the rules of seniority, and you should call Fairy Xuanyuan Ancestral Grandma." Buttface seized his chance. He was afraid that the angry Xuanyuan Wanrong would beat him up.

"Grandma, my *ss! Do you think that I won't beat you before she does?" Xu Que was aware of Buttface's sly aims, and he glared at him while he spoke.

Buttface got out of the way quickly and smiled bitterly. He said, "Brother Que, don't do this! We're all civilized people, and you can talk about grandmas but not *sses."

"Fine, apparently we aren't going to settle this matter quickly."

Xuanyuan Wanrong shook her head and sighed to herself.

She was already regretting what she'd done. She shouldn't have written Xu Que's name in the Heavenly Book of Taiyi. Now it was already too late, and the only thing she could do was come up with a way to get rid of the Heavenly Book of Taiyi's restraints.

"Rest at ease, everything'll be all right. In addition, I'm not necessarily a member of the Clan. After all, my surname is Xu, and I'm a real member of the Xu family," Xu Que reassured her.

"You are probably a part of a branch that was formed by a descendant of the Xuanyuan Clan or a woman of my Xuanyuan Clan who married into your Xu family," Xuanyuan Wanrong replied.

"This is…forget about it! This isn't a suitable time to discuss this and we must handle our proper business," Xu Que shook his head and spoke. He knew the truth, but he couldn't state it now. If he continued arguing with Xuanyuan Wanrong, there would be no end to this.

In addition, they didn't have a lot of time left, only between two and four hours were left until midnight. At that time, the Celestial Burial Valley's Worldly Furnace would start working, and he must prepare well to seize this chance.

"Is this the location of the Worldly Furnace's Spirit Core?" Xuanyuan Wanrong surveyed the surroundings, and her gaze fell upon the palace that sat upon the Spirit Core's location. She squinted her eyes.

COUGH! COUGH! "That's right!" Xu Que, who had a guilty conscience, nodded.

"It seems as if you've already gone to the Heaven Continent," Xuanyuan Wanrong said as she sized up Xu Que with a meaningful gaze.

This palace was one of her temporary residences from the Heaven Continent, and she had even put a clone there. This was why she recognized it.

"Huh? Don't look at me like that. It wasn't me who stole the palace. There was a faction called the Sage Sect in the Heaven Continent, and they'd occupied your palace by force. When I saw this, I rushed over with no regard to danger to take it back for you, and I've even been hunted down by the Sage Sect because of this," Xu Que explained, and the more he said, the more excited he became. He really felt that he'd been wronged!

"That's right, that's right. Fairy Xuanyuan, what Brother Que said is the truth," Buttface nodded repeatedly and responded.

However, it didn't matter whether this was true or not because Xuanyuan Wanrong didn't care about it.

Xuanyuan Wanrong looked at Xu Que and said, "It doesn't matter to me whether you stole it or fought over it. It's probably difficult for you to take this land's fortune, and my palace's sole function is helping you gather Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi."

"I know, it's enough for it to help gather Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi," Xu Que answered as he smiled faintly.

Xuanyuan Wanrong shook her head. "You didn't understand what I was implying. This land was prepared for a Celestial Prime advancement into the Celestial Emperor stage, and the Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi contained here is tremendous. Could someone at the Earth Celestial stage like you bear the brunt of this Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi?"

"It doesn't matter whether I can bear it, and this is my own business," Xu Que answered, looking at Xuanyuan Wanrong. "Could it be that you were also tempted by this fortune, and you want to break your promise and take it?"

"This fortune is quite tempting, but I have more than one way to become a Celestial Emperor. I don't have to fight over a lucky chance with a little lad like you," Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke in an ice-cold tone and her anger was apparent.

Xu Que had accused her of desiring to steal the fortune, and it seemed as if she found this accusation insulting.

"Okay, it's fine as long as you don't steal it. As a matter of fact, you can set your mind at ease, as after I take this fortune, I'll give you back the palace, which still has your clone in it. In addition, I may offer you a nice surprise in accordance with your performance," Xu Que spoke and smiled.

He was aware that devouring this large an amount of Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi was dangerous, but sometimes the greater the danger, the greater the benefits.

He had some assurance that he would be able to devour this Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi.

After all, he had a second-rate Holy Physique!

This was a powerful physique that had existed since the dawn of time, and if it couldn't bear even this amount of Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi, then wasn't it just rubbish?

"I still insist on what I said previously. I will immediately annihilate your fortune once I detect that your life is in danger," Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke after keeping her silence for several seconds.

Soon after, she stood aside and waited with an indifferent look on her face.

Xu Que didn't bother with saying anything else, and he cast a meaningful glance at Buttface before he strode into the palace.

There were innumerable enemies waiting for him in the Heaven Continent and he must take this fortune at any cost.

As Xu Que thought about this, he clenched his fists and his gaze turned grave. He took large strides and stepped resolutely into the palace.

"Heaven Celestial, Golden Celestial, or even Taiyi Celestial. I'm coming."

Chapter 1399: Daybreak!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A gale blew over, carrying with it sand and stone.

Flying stones and sand, as well as surging winds and clouds, converged at the entrance to the Celestial Burial Valley.

Mo Junchen raised his hands up toward the sky and tore out a large expanse of the void. He released innumerable weapons and wildly attacked the turtle that was as big as a mountain.

As for Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude, they stood in front of the entrance and used their Magic Arts along with a huge formation spell. They conjured many murderous weapons that continuously penetrated the advancing Sea Tribe members.

The Eight-Headed Serpent reverted to its true form and led the remaining members of the Exploding Heavens Faction. It was in charge of bringing up the rear, and he poured Spiritual Qi into the formation spell without stopping. He was in charge of maintaining the formation spell's operation.

However, the number of people they'd been able to kill was only a drop in the bucket when pitted against the million troops of the Sea Tribe Army.

They'd been fighting a chaotic battle for four hours now, and it was incredibly intense.

…..

When the million troops of the Sea Tribe Army, commanded by several Sea Tribe commanders, attacked, Mo Junchen and his companions sensed them coming, and they left the Celestial Burial Valley to block the entrance.

When the turtle discovered that an expert such as Mo Junchen was guarding the Celestial Burial Valley, it couldn't sit in silence and rushed over promptly. It started fighting alone against Mo Junchen.

Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude were now depending upon only their power to protect this region. Plus, there was unexpectedly an expert at the Earth Celestial stage among the commanders, and he possessed great power.

Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude were left with a bad choice, and they could only choose defense over offense. They occupied the Celestial Burial Valley's entrance and they drew help from the land's terrain.

This was the reason that the number of troops that they'd managed to kill was quite low, even after four hours.

"Ants, get lost quickly. The Celestial Burial Valley is the Sea Tribe's domain. You shouldn't dare to covet it!" The giant turtle shouted angrily.

The reason why it was so angry was that it would shortly be daybreak. If it couldn't get the million troops of the Sea Tribe Army into the Celestial Burial Valley by then, the plan it had concocted during innumerable years would be ruined, and the Sea Tribe's Protector God wouldn't get to come back from the dead.

"Impudent! The Celestial Burial Valley is on the surface. So it's a part of our Human Clan's domain. In addition, this land became my Exploding Heavens Faction's domain long ago. Even trifling Sea Tribe members like you dare to affront us?" Mo Junchen was quite forceful as he shouted sharply.

He had once been the leader of the Equipment Refining Sect, and his bearing wasn't any less imposing than his opponent's.

"Foolish thing! How can our Sea Tribe's great rise be obstructed by a few ants like you?" The giant turtle let out an earth-shattering angry roar.

Its colossal body occupied a large expanse of the sky, and it was like a giant mountain that would terrify anyone. Its aura was already quite frightful and it engulfed everything like the tides.

At this moment, even Mo Junchen was awed by its aura and was startled. This turtle's stage level was close to his, but its age was much higher. It was an old turtle that had lived for many years, and it was enormous.

No wonder it had such a great imposing manner!

SWOOSH!

At this moment, the giant turtle retreated suddenly and left the battlefield. It broke away from its entanglement with Mo Junchen.

Soon after, it stretched out its head toward the sky and let out a tyrannical and deafening shout, "Sea God, I'm Gui Qiangao, and I'm willing to consume 5,000 years of my life span to use the secret technique."

BANG!

As its voice echoed, muffled thunder reverberated in the sky.

Mo Junchen was startled by this, and he looked in surprise at the sky. He was shocked! Could the turtle communicate with God? Did thunder echo in response after it spoke?

"Ha, ha, ha, ignorant and ant-like humans. I have to consume 5,000 years of my life span due to you, and I will shortly get payback for this debt." The sea turtle glared at Mo Junchen and laughed angrily.

"I now have a secret technique. How so you think you can obstruct the intrusion of my army into the Celestial Burial Valley?"

It shouted loudly and many shining magic symbols that flickered like stars unexpectedly appeared on its large and heavy shell. A light beam also descended from the sky and engulfed the Sea Tribe Army's million troops.

"Awful, this is a Void Teleportation Spell. Retreat quickly!" Mo Junchen's expression changed drastically, and he yelled at Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude. He was quite astounded!

This old turtle was unexpectedly able to use the legendary Void Teleportation Spell. This was really terrible!

Upon hearing this, Duan Jiude and Liu Jingning, who were on the ground, chose to retreat without the least bit of hesitation, and they left the range of the light beam. They quickly retreated to the edge of the Celestial Burial Valley's entrance.

At this moment, the battle stopped suddenly, and the Sea Tribe commanders stopped attacking. As for the Sea Tribe Army's million troops, they raised their heads to look respectfully and devoutly at the giant turtle.

"Stop, you are just going to harm them. The Celestial Burial Valley has already turned into a Worldly Furnace, and you will just turn them into sacrificial offerings if you send them inside now," Mo Junchen frowned and shouted.

Upon hearing this, the turtle's expression changed. "Shut up, what can a Human Clan ant like you understand?"

After it spoke, it swept the Sea Tribe Army's million troops with its gaze and let out a deafening shout, "Everybody, follow orders and enter the Celestial Burial Valley. After you do so, rush quickly into the central region and don't retreat no matter what happens. Anyone who disobeys this will be beheaded on the spot."

"Understood!"

The Sea Tribe Army's million troops all shouted at the same time in an imposing manner. They all wore fearless expressions as if they weren't afraid of sacrificing themselves.

"They're done for! A million lives will go inside to sacrifice themselves and the Sea Tribe's almighty being will be at least a Celestial Emperor once he wakes up." Duan Jiude wore a bitter look. He wanted to obstruct this, but he didn't have the power to do so.

In addition…

Liu Jingning raised her head and looked at the sky that had started shining. She got more restless!

It would shortly be daybreak, yet Xu Que still hadn't come out. Once the Worldly Furnace started operating, he would probably…

"Wait!" A sharp voice echoed suddenly. It was the voice of the little fish in Duan Jiude's hands.

It wore an alarmed look as it looked at the turtle in the air. It cried sharply, "Lord, I can assure you that they aren't lying. The Celestial Burial Valley has already turned into a Worldly Furnace, and we will really die if we go inside."

"Impudent! Who gives you the right to speak here?" The turtle flew into a rage as it looked at the little fish.

As a THUMP echoed, the little fish exploded on the spot and turned into a mass of mangled flesh in Duan Jiude's hands.

"F*ck! You are nuts. I changed my clothes last year. And now they've become dirty again." Duan Jiude was so infuriated that he stamped his feet, and he pointed his finger at the turtle as he scolded it.

However, the Sea Tribe Army wore a surprised look and they looked in a daze at the turtle. They found his actions unbelievable!

"Lord, Lil Huang was one of our tribe's most loyal scouts, he…" A commander saluted the turtle and spoke.

However, the turtle stared at him and interrupted. It said coldly, "He was a scout that has been held captive. So, what loyalty does he still have? You don't have to say any more rubbish. You must go now!"

BANG!

As white light shone on the turtle's back, the light beam that had descended from among the clouds gave rise to powerful waves and distorted the air.

The Sea Tribe Army's million troops and the several Sea Tribe commanders wore alarmed looks, and they couldn't accept the fact that they'd just discovered.

Their lord unexpectedly wanted to send them to the Celestial Burial Valley as offerings.

"No…"

In the end, as innumerable Sea Tribe Army soldiers let out resentful and angry shouts, the light beam that had descended from the clouds started shrinking and the Sea Tribe Army's million troops turned into a light speck and disappeared.

At this moment, the outside of the great Celestial Burial Valley recovered its calm.

The turtle in the clouds laughed loudly, "Ha, ha, ha, my ancestors' plan has succeeded. It has been passed down for generations, and we've all waited for this day. The Sea Tribe's rise is close at hand. Human Clan ants, just wait for the descent of my tribe's Protector God. Your doomsday has arrived."

The faces of Mo Junchen, Duan Jiude, and Liu Jingning turned pale and resembled the shining white dome of the sky. They were pale-faced and powerless!

It was daybreak!

The Worldly Furnace was finally going to be activated.

…..

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Core Mountain Range within the Celestial Burial Valley, Xuanyuan Wanrong looked at Xu Que and Buttface, who sat cross-legged in the palace, and frowned.

Many worldly treasures were buried beneath the Celestial Burial Valley, and there were even many mountain ranges filled with Spiritual Stone mines. There were also Worldly Spiritual Qi and Worldly Power. Once they were refined and absorbed by the furnace, they would form a terrifyingly large amount of Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi that would converge in the Spirit Core's location.

It was difficult for her to believe that Xu Que and Buttface could bear this amount of Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi.

THUMP!

At this moment, a loud rumble was transmitted from the outside.

Xuanyuan Wanrong was taken aback, and her Divine Consciousness immediately examined the outside.

In the next moment, her expression changed drastically, and disbelief appeared on her face. "The million beings of the Sea Tribe have entered at this moment. Are they going to turn into offerings for the blood sacrifice? Once those million beings are smelted, Baleful Qi of 1 million departed spirits will emerge…"

This was awful!

Xuanyuan Wanrong's heart beat strongly, and she looked quickly at Xu Que who was within the palace. She shouted loudly, "Get out quickly, you shouldn't use this Spirit Core…"

BANG!

A deafening rumble echoed out before she could finish her words, and it instantly spread throughout the surroundings. It spread for 1,000 miles!

Xuanyuan Wanrong's voice was submerged by it completely.

The Worldly Furnace had started working!
