Xu Que was wild with joy. The inheritance given to him by the G.o.dhead was unexpectedly a Magic Art. A Magic Art’s grade was usually lower than a Divine Magic Art, but since a G.o.d had taken a liking to this Magic Art, then it was surely at Advanced Moon Rank, and it still had limitless potential. It was an Advanced Moon Rank Magic Art like the Hades Nine Nether Slash gotten by him previously in the G.o.d of h.e.l.l’s Realm. The Hades Nine Nether Slash was the King of h.e.l.l’s trump card. Once this Magic Art was used along with the Mighty Body’s power, its might would raise immensely, and it would greatly surpa.s.s many Divine Magic Arts. As for right now, this Magic Art given to him by the G.o.dhead also possessed a special trait, and it could draw power from his strong points in all aspects. This was why this Magic Art had limitless potential!
However, the crux of it was that it was still a Bodily Movement Magic Art. Xu Que’s stage level had already reached the Earth Celestial Medium Stage, and his power had risen drastically, while he still possessed a Holy Physique. This was why when he used the 3,000 Volts Lightning, his speed could surpa.s.s almost anyone, and he might even become faster than the geniuses at the Heaven Celestial Stage. But, in the end, this was only due to his Holy Physique that raised his body’s power, speed, as well as all other aspects. If he didn’t have it and he just depended upon the 3,000 Volts Lightning alone, his speed wouldn’t keep up with his current stage’s power, and he wouldn’t be any faster than cultivators at the same stage as him. The Magic Art’s inheritance given to him by the G.o.dhead complemented this flaw that couldn’t really be considered a defect. After he cultivated this Magic Art, he could replace the 3,000 Volts Lightning with it, and it would help him raise his speed further. It possessed limitless potential!
“Providence Seclusion Escape! He,he, what a bold name! I really like it.” A smile appeared on Xu Que’s face, while he raised his palm and let the golden ray float in the air.
SWOOs.h.!.+ Xu Que once again released his Holy Soul and sent it into the golden ray. He started taking the inheritance. Once the Providence Seclusion Escape was cultivated and mastered, it could be said that one could soar up to heaven or go down to Hades. One would be able to soar up above the nine skies or go down into the nine underworlds. He would be unstoppable!
Xu Que detected the G.o.dhead’s aura in the inheritance, although strictly speaking, this aura belonged to the G.o.d. Even though he had already died, his remnant G.o.dhead survived, while his aura was still linked with this inheritance. Such a matter was similar to what Xu Que had gone through previously when he got an inheritance in the Five Elements Mountain. This should be another person’s Magic Art, and this was why that person’s mark was present in it. If he wanted to inherit the Magic Art, he must also inherit that person’s Taoist Connotation. However, Xu Que surely wouldn’t inherit other people’s Taoist Connotations. He didn’t accept previously in the Five Element Mountains and he wouldn’t accept now either.
Xu Que condensed his Taoist Connotation’s power and acted as he wanted. He forcefully enveloped the wisp of the G.o.d’s aura, pulled at it fiercely, and isolated it. Even though this wisp of G.o.d’s aura was quite weak and feeble, Xu Que wouldn’t be able to erase it with his current power. But he could still isolate it to prevent it from affecting the Magic Art’s inheritance.
SWOOs.h.!.+ As the golden ray shone brightly, many runes came out of it, followed Xu Que’s soul, and flowed into the region between his eyebrows. Xu Que started inheriting the Magic Art. The operation method of the Providence Seclusion Escape’s Celestial Core Power was sent into his mind in detail and he didn’t have to practice it. As long as he finished taking the inheritance, he would comprehend it thoroughly, and his Meridians would let his body have a natural response to it, as if this was an innate Magic Art he had had since birth. He would be able to cast it as long as he wanted.
…..
Meanwhile, outside the battlefield’s ruins, many cultivators were still in the vicinity. They had all heard that the Divine Farmer Clan’s genius, Yi Zhong, had been killed, and they rushed over to join in the fun. The reason behind this was that a more major event would shortly occur because Yi Zhong’s elder brother, Yi Dan, was coming over to take his revenge. As long as Xu Que’s father didn’t leave, a great battle would occur.
The crowd was interested in this matter because they wanted to know how a sickly old man at the Half-Celestial Stage had managed to kill Yi Zhong. There was surely a secret hidden behind this affair, and the Jade Lake’s members might have even taken part in it. Such an affair might give rise to a great battle between two great factions or two Celestial Realms. This affair’s consequences were major!
RUMBLE! It was on this day that the person the crowd awaited finally arrived. Many explosions echoed from the sky canopy, and it seemed like the void was torn apart by someone. A great disturbance arose! Several people flew over from the distance. They were skippering a giant flying s.h.i.+p, and several hundred Divine Farmer Clan members were atop it. In the flying s.h.i.+p’s highest region, a young man was standing with his hands clasped behind his back. He wore a gloomy expression and an intense murderous aura emanated from him.
“What the h*ll! Someone has finally arrived.”
“That is Yi Zhong’s elder brother, Yi Dan. He is at the Heaven Celestial Medium Stage, and he’s a candidate for this generation’s Holy Son position in the Divine Farmer Clan.”
“I have heard that he doesn’t have a chance to get the Holy Son’s position. It’s said that he’s impulsive and crude, and the Divine Farmer Clan’s influential members don’t want him to become the Holy Son.”
“Indeed, even though the Holy Son’s position requires great power, it also requires skills in other aspects. This was why if we summed up everything, Yi Zhong would have a higher chance to get the Holy Son’s position than his elder brother. But it’s a pity that he has had an untimely death.”
“It’s said that the two siblings had a close relations.h.i.+p, and when Yi Zhong died, Yi Dan had just left a training land. Yet he still brought people with him and rushed over. A great battle is surely unavoidable!”
“He’s too impulsive, the Divine Farmer Clan still didn’t give its opinion about this matter, yet he came over to take revenge without getting permission. It’s unknown what will be this affair’s consequences, and it’s really a worrying matter.”
“I hope that the Jade Lake won’t take part in this dispute, as if war breaks out between two great Celestial Realms, we will also suffer a calamity, and we will probably have to run into other Celestial Realms to take refuge.”
A worried look appeared on many people’s faces as they looked at the giant s.h.i.+p that closed in on them. However, such matters didn’t stop the giant s.h.i.+p’s arrival, while there wasn’t anyone here who dared to go over to obstruct it. After several seconds, the giant s.h.i.+p managed to reach the sky atop the battlefield’s ruins, and it hid a large part of the sky from view. Yi Dan was the first person to descend, and he was followed by more than 100 members of the Divine Farmer Clan. They all dropped from the sky! Afterward, several elders also landed, and they were all guardians at the peak of the Golden Celestial Stage, while one of them was even a Taiyi Genuine Celestial.
When the crowd witnessed such a great team, they all quieted and didn’t dare to talk about this affair any longer. Yi Dan swept the crowd with his gaze, and spoke in a deep voice, “Where is the person who killed my younger brother.” The crowd didn’t dare to reply, but their gazes still looked at the entrance of the battlefield’s ruins.
“He, he, he still hasn’t come out, has he?” Yi Dan sneered coldly and waved his hand. He was about to go inside along with his team. However, the elder at the Taiyi Genuine Celestial Stage frowned, shook his head, and said, “Hold on, according to the news we got when we came over, Yi Zhong was also accompanied by guardians. Yet he still died. If you go inside like this, you will probably have a tragic end.”
“Eighth elder, what do you mean by this? Shouldn’t I take revenge for Yi Zhong?” Yi Dan spoke angrily. The eighth elder shook his head calmly. It seemed like he was already used to Yi Dan’s temper, and he spoke soothingly, “I’m not able to enter that land, and those people will surely come out. So why don’t we just wait here?”
“Wait? He, he, I can’t wait. Isn’t he just a trifling sickly old man at the Half-Celestial Stage? I don’t believe that the Jade Lake members would dare to protect him,” Yi Dan shouted angrily, and he went into the ruins’ entrance along with his team without giving any more regard to the eighth elder’s opinions. The eighth elder frowned, but he still didn’t stop Yi Dan.
Such a scene astounded the crowd. Even though talented youths had a respected status, usually all talented youths respected their elders. A person such as Yi Dan had rarely been seen! What was more rarely seen was the eighth elder’s approach. He had just tried to advise Yi Dan for a moment and didn’t use any forceful methods to obstruct him. He had just allowed Yi Dan to go inside like this, and it seemed to people like he had allowed Yi Dan to go throw away his life.
…..
At this moment, in a place next to the Taoist Sanctum in the depths of the ruins, b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude had already put up a rack for making barbecue and were roasting food and eating it. They were doing so to pa.s.s the time and also to satisfy their cravings. This human and dog were eating happily! The people next to them didn’t pay any heed to them, and they sat peacefully in the vicinity. They were either cultivating or resting, and they seemed quite peaceful.
RUMBLE! All of a sudden, a loud noise was transmitted from the outside, and it disturbed this peace. The crowd was alerted, and everyone stood up, while their gazes looked at the noise’s source. “Did someone enter here?”
“What a great murderous aura, it seems he’s rus.h.i.+ng toward us.” Several females disciples of the Jade Lake spoke in surprise. Bai Cailing frowned, while a grave look appeared on her face. She detected that at least seven powerhouses at the peak of the Golden Celestial Stage were traveling together, while they also had more than 100 cultivators at the Earth Celestial Stage. This team was stronger than her team by much!
“It’s the Divine Farmer Clan,” a Guardian of Jade Lake spoke in a deep voice. It was obvious that he recognized the aura of some of the people who were coming.
“What! The Divine Farmer Clan? They have come here for Elder Xu.” The Jade Lake’s female disciples were startled, and they all turned their heads to look in the rear. That location was still pitch-black, while Xu Que was still sitting in his former place without moving. No one had detected that this was just an illusion yet.
b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude quickly collected the barbecue rack. A great battle was imminent, and they would give up on anything but the barbecue rack and the meat. “What the h.e.l.l, Xu…when will Xu Que’s father come out? Why don’t we run away? In any case, he won’t suffer any mishaps inside,” b.u.t.tface spoke and proposed a suggestion. Duan Jiude immediately raised both hands and approved of such an idea. “That is right, we may even manage to lure them into going inside to throw away their lives.”
“We don’t have to take such trouble,” Mo Junchen suddenly spoke. He stood up, looked at b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude, and shook his head helplessly. “As a matter of fact, I can’t understand why you always want to escape. This time, I don’t plan to leave. It’s just the trifling Divine Farmer Clan, and our Exploding Heavens Faction doesn’t have to fear it.”
“Huh…?” b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiu de were dumbstruck and left at a loss for words. The Exploding Heavens Faction doesn’t have to fear it? It obviously should be afraid of it, as the kiddo Xu Que isn’t even here, while we only have several people. How many enemies can we defeat?
“If you want to leave, just go ahead and leave me here.” At this moment, Mo Junchen waved his hand and strode toward the entrance. He possessed a great imposing manner as if he would shortly face 10,000 men all by himself. Mo Junchen shouted in a deep voice, “Our Exploding Heavens Faction has 1 million members and can also be considered a great faction in the Heaven Continent. So why do we have to fear the Divine Farmer Clan? I don’t believe that they will still dare to harm us today after I announce the Exploding Heavens Faction’s name.”
