Rumble!
b.u.t.tface ignited the s.p.a.ce-Breaking Spell, which gave off a dazzling light. The Void Interface Point opened directly. A pitch-black hole, which was surrounded by a colorful halo, appeared. Then a gust of tremendous force dragged Xu Que and his teammates into the void.
When Xu Que and his teammates left, the mountaintop became quiet again. On the mountainside, the apprentices of the Sage Sect were confused as they stared at each other, open-mouthed. They didn’t know that the people on the mountaintop had left. They could only sit there and look at the frozen Holy Water River with puzzlement. They had planned to perform cultivation for 50 years beside the Holy Water River. However, the waterfall and the Holy Water River had dried up after one year. What should they do for the next 49 years?
…..
On the second day, a strand of light flew across the sky and landed at the top of Snow Fog Mountain. The apprentices of the Sage Sect didn’t notice that. They still were sitting there, not knowing what to do. A moment later, a horrible momentum, which was full of rage and killing intent, swept over from the mountaintop. Then a deafening roar echoed in this place.
“Who did that? Who? Ah…”
Boom!
More than 100 apprentices of the Sage Sect turned pale and dropped to their knees when they heard that roar. Some of them even started to spit blood. Their eyes were full of fear. Who is this powerhouse? Why is his roar so horrible?
…..
At this time, Xu Que and his teammates were flying rapidly in the dark void. On the way, Xu Que acquired more knowledge about the Heaven Continent from b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude. Before that, he only knew the average level of the cultivators on the Heaven Continent. b.u.t.tface told him the Heaven Continent was full of cultivators at the Heaven Continent Stage and the Golden Celestial Stage! Powerhouses at even higher stages could also be found here!
Now, he acquired knowledge about the Heaven Continent’s geographical distribution. Generally speaking, the known area of the Heaven Continent was divided into 14 parts. Unlike the six Celestial Realms of the Earth Continent, which were isolated, these 14 parts were located in one continent as, for example, different provinces of a country. According to the Purple Star Astrology, these 14 parts got their names from the 14 Primary Stars: the Ziwei Celestial Realm, the Wuqu Celestial Realm, the Lianzhen Celestial Realm, the Qisha Celestial Realm, the Pojun Celestial Realm, the Tanlang Celestial Realm, the Tianfu Celestial Realm, the Tianxiang Celestial Realm, the Taiyang Celestial Realm, the Taiyin Celestial Realm, the Jumen Celestial Realm, the Tianji Celestial Realm, the Tianliang Celestial Realm, and the Tiantong Celestial Realm.
On the Heaven Continent, six sects were very powerful. The Sage Sect and the Heaven Palace Academy were among them. All these six sects were located in the Ziwei Celestial Realm, which was at the center of the Heaven Continent. Sects like the Jade Lake were level two sects on the Heaven Continent, and were scattered in the rest of the 13 Celestial Realms. The Jade Lake was a powerful sect in the Tianxiang Celestial Realm. Although it was not as powerful as the Sage Sect or the Heaven Palace Academy, its strength couldn’t be underestimated because of its long history. Even the Sage Sect or the Heaven Palace Academy wouldn’t start a war with the level two sects, like the Jade Lake, alone.
Jiang Hongyan had the Body of Heavenly Kismet, which was the hope of Jade Lake to become a level one sect like the Sage Sect. But the Heaven Palace Academy had also taken a fancy to Jiang Hongyan’s quality. So, they exerted pressure on the Jade Lake together with the Sage Sect. The Jade Lake had to give in by handing over Jiang Hongyan. Of course, Jiang Hongyan also agreed to join the Heaven Palace Academy to avoid making trouble for Jade Lake. So, the level two sects like the Jade Lake were also overlords on the Heaven Continent. There were altogether 13 sects like this which were located in 13 Celestial Realms. They were just a little bit weaker than the level one sects.
b.u.t.tface was excited when they decided to go back to the Celestial Realm where Jade Lake was. On one hand, he had been to that place before. On the other hand, he knew the zone of influence of sects on the Heaven Continent. Even if the Sage Sect knew they were in the Tianxiang Celestial Realm, they would not be able to find them immediately, which meant they could have time to escape.
Xu Que had no idea about the place he was about to go to. Although he knew the different Celestial Realms of the Heaven Continent and the Ziwei Celestial Realm, which was full of powerhouses and the most dangerous place, he knew many ways to play the hit and run game with the Sage Sect and the Heaven Palace Academy as long as he could reach the Earth Celestial Stage. However, b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude wanted to go back to the Tianxiang Celestial Realm where the Jade Lake was, so Xu Que decided to go with them. After all, these two guys would never do something for nothing. They wanted to go to the Tianxiang Celestial Realm eagerly, which meant something precious was waiting for them.
However, Xu Que remembered Bai Cailing, the Holy Virgin of the Jade Lake, who had pretended to be an old woman. Bai Cailing had taken a fancy to Jiang Hongyan’s quality. So she gave Jiang Hongyan an entry to Jade Lake, which helped Jiang Hongyan to reach the Jade Lake after rising immortally from the Earth Continent. She even relinquished her post as the Holy Virgin. However, Jade Lake didn’t expect the things that happened after that. Now, Bai Cailing had become the Jade Lake’s Holy Virgin again.
When he recalled the things that happened in the Refined Moon Palace, Xu Que couldn’t help but smile thoughtfully. He knew clearly that a piece of paper was still saved in his System package. It looked like a receipt for a loan. Actually, it was a marriage certificate signed by Bai Cailing who had been fooled by Xu Que. Heh, heh, we will have a lot of fun there. At least, I won’t worry about the resources for my cultivation in future! Xu Que smiled delightedly.
Dozens of days pa.s.sed by.
They landed on a barren mountain in the Tianxiang Celestial Realm. Their landing point was chosen by b.u.t.tface. This place was several days away from the Jade Lake. They landed here to avoid being detected by the big shots of the Jade Lake.
When they landed on the ground, the Celestial Core Power in this area started to gush toward them. Although the Celestial Core Power here was much less than that on the Snow Fog Mountain, it was still much more than that on the Earth Continent. Of course, when the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool was taken away by Xu Que, the Celestial Core Power on the Snow Fog Mountain had dropped to only slightly more than the Celestial Core Power in this area.
“This place is pretty good! I guess I can reach the stage of the Taiyi Celestial within ten years if I perform cultivation here!” After taking a deep breath, Mo Junchen said with a smile. Luckily, he had also performed cultivation in the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool for one year. Otherwise, he would have needed several hundred years to realize a breakthrough, even though he had stayed in the G.o.d of h.e.l.l’s Realm for so many years. He would reach the next level in ten years!
“Hey! I’m glad to hear that! Guardian Mo, I will go to a place to cross my Heavenly Tribulation. That place is also ideal for secluded cultivation. I guess you will realize your breakthrough within a period less than ten years! Let’s go!” Duan Jiude said as he looked at Mo Junchen with a smile.
b.u.t.tface also nodded his head, “Exactly! I have also been in that place. It is really a good place to perform secluded cultivation or cross a Heavenly Tribulation! So, stop wasting our time, let’s go there, and I will act as your guardian there!”
Then b.u.t.tface turned around and was about to leave as he placed his paws on the shoulders of Mo Junchen and Duan Jiude. Xu Que shouted, “Holy sh*t! I am still alive! Why do you want to leave in such a hurry? As your Faction Leader, I am very angry!”
“Sh*t! Little brat, you go to the Jade Lake first. We will come back and meet you after finis.h.i.+ng our business!” b.u.t.tface replied without turning around as he quickened his pace as if worried that Xu Que would catch up with them.
Duan Jiude turned around and said with a wry smile, “Little brat, you can’t come to the place where I cross my Heavenly Tribulation. Otherwise, my life will be endangered. You know the Heavenly Tribulation has a grudge against you. So, just go to the Jade Lake first!”
“Sh*t!” Xu Que cursed, but didn’t try to catch up with them. After all, what Duan Jiude had said was correct. If he was there, the Heavenly Tribulation would be more horrible. He might have to save Duan Jiude. So, it would be safer for Duan Jiude if he crossed his Heavenly Tribulation alone. But were they really worrying about the Heavenly Tribulation? It seemed as if they were about to search for something precious. And they didn’t want to take Xu Que with them, who would take everything precious away. Are you kidding? How could I be a person like that?
“No!” Xu Que realized something suddenly. Then he said, widening his eyes, “There must be a conspiracy! You urged me to go to the Jade Lake first! I am sure you are hiding something! Tell me, what the h.e.l.l you are… What? Holy sh*t! Where are they?” Before Xu Que had finished his words, b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude, who “hijacked” Mo Junchen, disappeared in front of Xu Que directly. This scene was so familiar! Apparently, they used the Divine Escape Spell!
